单选题 A. more B. much C. less D. lesser
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】more or less意为“或多或少”。其他选项均不能与more搭配。
单选题 A. with B. in C. from D. for
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】out of touch with意为“对……不熟悉”。
单选题 A. which B. and C. for D. that

单选题 A. say B. talk C. tell D. speak
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】后面有介词about,所以这里只能选talk。talk about意为“谈论”,say和tell都是及物动词,不需要介词;speak强调的是说话时的状态或方式,在此不合句意。

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】fail意为“失望、舍弃”,mistake意为“弄错、误解”,underestimate意为“低估”,understand意为“理解”。本文讲的是代沟问题,从这四个选项的意义和上下文看,underestimate最合适。
单选题 A. if B. being C. like D. when
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】因此从句的主语与主句相同,所以省去了they are。
单选题 A. choices B. hobbies C. likes D. dislikes
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】空白后的词是clothes和hairstyle。根据这两个词,我们选择 choices。hobbies意为“爱好”,likes和dislikes是一对反义词,在此也不合句意。
单选题 A. already B. still C. yet D. ever
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】在表示“还”的意思时,already,still,yet有相同之处,但前两个词常在肯定句中,yet常用于否定句。ever可以和not连用,但通常用never。
单选题 A. However B. Furthermore C. Besides D. Then
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】上文谈到孩子们不为父母的社会所接受,他们就有自己的社会圈子。如果这个圈子能给父母一些影响,他们还是很高兴的。这两个意群之间的因果关系更为合理,所以选then。

【答案解析】这的意思是说:他们自己感到在领导服装新潮流,所以觉得比别人强,用superior。
单选题 A. agree B. praise C. consent D. approve
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】能和of搭配的只有approve, approve of意为“赞成”。而agree与with搭配,consent与to搭配。此外,下句话中出现了approve一词,可以说是对这个答案的再次肯定。
单选题 A. active B. effective C. passive D. efficient
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】this指代的是上文中谈到的:如果你自己假定自己是失败者。这当然是一种消极态度,即passive。
单选题 A. which B. what C. where D. when
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】这里填入的关系副词是修饰childhood的,所以应用when。
单选题 A. ignores B. proves C. shows D. provides
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】这段的大意是:因为你在孩童时代长久地受到父母的控制,所以稍大些就会产生反叛心理,这很正常。这是对自己负责的表现。这里是个意思之间转折关系,所以用ignore(忽略)。
