21、含义较obtain更进一层，表示付出更大的努力才能获得，故常译为“赢得”。.1.not accustomed to getting up so early2.accustom myself to3.worthy of attention4.approve of me leaving school this year5.His paintings were clearly inspired.1.B句意为：新的法案将使这个地区的贫民得到极大的好处。benefit意思是“使从中获得利益”，符合句意。gain获得，取得；earn挣，赚；get拿，取，皆不合句意。2A句意为：他花了很长一段时间才学会了成
22、为一名专业艺术家所需要的技术。inquire询问；require要求；request请求，皆不合句意。而acquire表示“得到，获得”，符合句意。3B句意为：在那儿待了将近10年，他已经习惯了那个地区的热带气候。be accustomed to习惯于，是固定搭配。4D句意为：学生们正在讨论关于主张城市市民去帮助减少噪音污染和空气污染的那篇社论。order命令；demand要求，不能用于“demand sb.to do sth.”结构；promise许诺；答应，皆不合句意及语法结构。urge极力主张，且可用于“urge sb.to do sth.”结构。5D句意为：她妈妈不赞成她孤身一人到美国

24、nspire鼓舞，激励；使产生。.1.B此处“. out of .”是指“在多少里面排名第几，占第几位”，所以在此处意思应为：在14个国家进行的学生化学测试中，美国学生的成绩排第12位，由此可知B项为正确答案。2C文章第三段提到“whose schools have no uniform national curriculum”，“the problem lies at the elementary and high school levels.”以及“Among the root causes most frequently mentioned. the low respect in whi
25、ch US society holds teachers.”。由此可知A、B和D三项均是教育水平低的原因，选项C在文中未提及。3B第二段开头指出，布什总统曾许诺要在接下来的十年里消除文盲，文章后面指出“They have a long way to go.According to Bush，there are l7 million illiterates in this country of 245 million people.”，由此可知，布什并没有实现诺言，故选项A不对，根据布什的统计，文盲比例应为17/245约为7%，而不是9%，故排除C项，根据文章最后一句话可知：在美国，老师的地位几
26、乎在最底层，由此可排除D项；根据文章最后一段倒数第三句可推断出B项为正确答案。4A题目要求按文盲比率由低到高的顺序排列。根据文章倒数第三句话可知：在德国，教师地位比较高，由此可推断出其教育水平高，文盲也较少；由第二段倒数第三句的“In percentage terms，that ranks the United States alongside Nicaragua and below Cuba.”，可知美国和尼加拉瓜并列，位于古巴之后，由此可判断出：德国的文盲率最低，其次是古巴，然后是尼加拉瓜，故A项为正确答案。.I still remember my middle school life i
