DBACA解析：13.

根据第一段第二句，“AsSkolnicknotes,Americansareamarryingpeople:relativetoEuropeans,moreofusmarryandwemarryatayoungerage”,D为正确答案。14.第一段最后一句明确指出，“大约30%的离婚者再婚。我们社会绝对大多数人更喜欢过婚姻生活。”A、C、D的表述与事实不符。15.美国社会接受多种类型的家庭组合方式。文章第二、三段指出，目前美国家庭的组合方式与传统的核心家庭相比发生了很大的变化。这种变化反映在孩子与家庭成员的关系上。分析四个选项，B、D与事实不符；家庭结构的变化不能说明传统的核心家庭不存在了，因此D的观点太片面。16.“Part\|timechildren”是指父母离婚后由父母交替抚养的孩子。第二段最后一句指出了离婚家庭的两种孩子，即“part\|timechildren”和“full\|timechildren”。根据第三段的描述，“full\|timechildren”是指夫妻双方目前的孩子，或目前与现父母住在一起的前婚的孩子；“part\|timechildren”则是由离婚父母交替抚养的孩子。由此判断，C是正确的；A、D不对；B所说的是“full\|timechildren”17.第一段最后一句和第三段最后一句为本文的主题句，即大多数美国人喜欢过婚姻生活，而且过着婚姻生活。这是不变的事实（constant）。由此看出，美国人对婚姻是有信心的。本文没有涉及B和C的观点22.Allthepreparationsfortheproject______,andwe'rereadytostart.

59.Theword“infinite”isclosestinmeaningto_________.

A.easyB.difficultC.countlessD.dangerous答案：56.B；57.A；58.D；59.C解析：56．选B。文章主要讨论了问什么会下鱼雨这种奇异的自然现象。A.Asadstory与文章无关；文章只在解释鱼雨的成因是提到Australia’snorthernpart与南部季节不同，以及与会带来的洪水，但并非主要话题。57．选A。从最后一段Althoughtheyseemunusual,fish-fallsoccurquitefrequentlyinAustralia中的frequently可知。58．选D。从文章第三段Whenitisspringinthenorthernpartoftheworld,itisfallin

Australia.可知。A选项内容文章没有提到过。文章第二行BillTapp,an

Australianfarmer可知B选项错。从文章最后一句Nature,withitsinfinitewonders,cancreatewaterfallsthatflowupwardandfishthatfalloutofthesky可知C选项错。59．选C。从上文Thewondersofthenaturalworldareascommonasrain中的ascommonasrain可推知C对。32.Moreandmorecorporationsaretakinganinterestincorporatesocialresponsibility(CSR).CSRismadeupofthreebroadlayers.Themostbasicistraditionalcorporatecharitywork.Companiestypicallyspendabout1%ofpre-taxprofitsonworthyprojects.Butmanyfeelthatsimplywritingchequestocharitiesisnolongerenough.Insomecompanies,shareholderswanttoknowthattheirmoneyisbeingputtogooduse,andemployeeswanttobeactivelyinvolvedingoodworks.

A.MakingSchoolBusesEvenSaferforChildren

B.SeatBeltsNeededonSchoolBuses

C.AlternateSafetyDevicesandProcedures

D.SafetyinandaroundSchoolBuses答案：1-4ADBA解析：1.A2.D

此题是问谁最有权控制学校班车的安全。文章第四段讲道:NationalHighwayTrafficSafetyAdministration在1977年制定的安全措施很好地保护了校车中孩子们的安全。据此可以推知，该机构有权就校车安全问题制定相关规定，它是最有权威的，所以答案应该是D。A属非官方，B指交通部，但文中只指出它能“review”，并未指出或暗示它能“控制”；C不属于交通方面，故不对。3.B

文章最后一段讲到，在国会的要求下，交通部发起的这份调查报告要求详尽地考察座位安全带问题，同时要广泛调查校车：内部以及周围的安全环境。因此选择B。但是文章并未说明交通部要采取什么措施，所以D不确切。第三段说，家长是使用安全带的支持者，所以A不对。第五段只指出有一种替代方法，但并未指出它会被考虑执行。所以C不对。4.A

通篇文章讲的是学生乘坐校车的安全问题。许多人赞成并要求采取更安全的措施。所以答案应该选A。C较具干扰性，它虽然也涉及到bussafety，但不是作者所要表达的最直接的愿望，而且文章也并未就具体的措施做出定夺。B太片面，因为文章不只讨论了安全带问题。D的说法太泛太空，不具体。37.—DidyouwritetoGracelastsummer?
