17、 be seen for what they are”可推测出,此段主要论述虽然美国社会就像一碗沙拉,所有的原料都混合在一起,但各种原料却没有因此失去自己的特色,即我们能看到不同种类的文化组成了现在的美国社会。所以B项符合上下文语境。故选B项。2.C根据下文中的“Each ethnic group has its own special.and defend.”可知,每个民族都有自己要保护和保卫的特殊的文化、语言、食物和传统。由此可推断出,此处解释了美国多元文化存在的原因。C项符合上下文语境。故选C项。3.G根据第一段中的两种观点“a salad bowl”和“a melting pot”及空
18、格后的“one large pot of soup”可知,本段要介绍另外一种观点。G项说法和第一段中的第二种观点一致。故选G项。4.F根据下文中的“In such a culture,symbols like.serve to.groups.”可知,共同拥有的符号有助于消除不同民族之间的隔阂,创造出一种新文化。F项符合上下文语境,且“They”指代上文中的“symbols”。故选F项。5.D该段是对全文内容的总结。即美国是一个具有多样性和统一性的国家。D项符合语境,是对前面一句内容的另一种表述。故选D项。.完形填空I had my first job when I was thirteen.I

32、文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍福特汽车公司(The Ford Motor Company)利用可回收塑料制出耐磨的汽车配件,这为人们回收利用废弃塑料提供了一个新的思路。1.the考查冠词。on the increase是固定搭配,表示“正在增长”,故填定冠词the。2.thrown考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,本句已经有谓语动词has了,因此,空处是非谓语动词作后置定语。throw与被修饰词“Much of other plastic”是逻辑上的动宾关系,且此处表示动作已完成,故用过去分词thrown。3.to cut考查非谓语动词。固定结构try to do sth.意为“努力做某事”。注
33、意:try doing sth.“尝试做某事”,与语境不符。4.beneficial考查形容词。空处作定语修饰不定代词something,需要用其形容词形式beneficial“有用的”。5.is transforming考查动词的时态。今天,为了努力减少碳排放量,这家公司正在把可回收塑料转变成汽车配件。根据时间状语Today和语境可知,此处表示动作正在发生,故用现在进行时。6.specifically考查副词。此处作状语修饰句子,应该用副词。 specifically意为“更确切地说”。7.It考查代词。句意:如果我们使用固体塑料,这么大的一个配件很可能会有三倍重。此处是It is likely for.to do sth.“很可能做某事”句型,其中it是形式主语,后面的不定式是真正的主语。8.greenest考查形容词的最高级。根据前面的“the most durable and”可知,此处and连接两个并列的最高级修饰名词materials,故本空要填所给词的最高级形式。panies考查名词的单复数。根据“one of the+名词复数形式”结构可知,此处填companies。10.that考查名词性从向。分析句子结构可知,hope后所跟的从句解释说明其内容,从句的成分和意义都是完整的,故用that引导该同位语从句。- 6 - 版权所有高考资源网
