1、[Cl]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：household…作do的宾语，空格应为名词。Braddock七岁开始第一份

工作，而七岁能做的“工作，只能是家务活，故选用chores。

2、[C2]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：不定冠词a和介词of提示此处应填入名词。本句列举Braddock工作

过的儿个地方。词库中名词series填入文中句意通顺，表示Braddock在一系列快

餐馆连锁店工作过。

3、[C3]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：and提示填入空格的词与worked并列，应为过去式动词，作句子谓

语。本段是说Jason工作赚取学费，tutored"当家庭教师”符合句意。

4、[C4]

标准答窠：H

知识点解析：空格在从句主语who和谓语earned之间，应为副词。根据木句中的

“不需要借助学生贷款''和上文提到的从小就开始工作存学费，可知Braddock靠自

己读完大学，获得学位，self-reliantly符合文中语境。

5、[C5]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：空格处应填入动词作句子的谓语。本句提到G1Bill会提供学费、教

材费、住宿费,可见Kendall通过GIBill的资助完成了学业。financed”为……提供

资金”符合句意。

6、[C6]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：空格所在句缺少谓语，应填入动词。上文提到参军是赚取学费的另一

个途径，结合空格后的习a$aNavySeabee,可以推断Kendall应该是参军去了，故

选用enlistcdo

7、[C7]

标准答案：E

知识点解析：空格可为副词修饰形容词nalural,但词库中的副词放入句中句意不

通顺。故考虑选用形容词，与natural并列修饰disasterso自然灾害tsunami和

hurricane带来很大的伤亡,因此选用catastrophico

8、[C8]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：空格所在的before从句缺少谓语，空格应为动词且能与t。搭配。空

格前后分别提到了两所大学，动词库中iransferred符合句意，表示他从Muskegon

社区大学修完大专课程后，就“转学”到了GrandValley州立大学。

9、[C9]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此处需填入副词修饰形容词debt-free。由本段可知，Kendall上大学

的学费、生活费来源有保障，他才能专注学业、主动在女儿班上效劳。可见他是无

负债毕业。completely符合上下文语义。

10、[C10]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：a表明空格应为单数名诃,本句讲参军的经历使Kendall获得了与别

的大学生不一样的经历，名词库中perspective”视角，观点”一词用在此处最贴切。
