28、r解析：解析 动词辨析题。本文介绍美国各种大学的收费标准“各不相同”，应该选vary。change表示“改变”，adjust表示“调节”，differ表示意见“分歧”。A.attendedB.attendingC.attendD.to attend解析：解析 语法辨析题。过去分词attended作为school的后置定语，表示“进入的”大学。A.publicB.privateC.communityD.local解析：解析 语义衔接题。公立大学的学费比较便宜；相反，学费比较昂贵的是私立大学(private schools)，而不是社区大学(community schools)或者地方大学(loc
29、al schools)。A.riseB.increaseC.escalateD.exceed解析：解析 动词辨析题。美国私立大学的学费昂贵，每年甚至要“超过”两万美金，因此选exceed。rise表示“上升”，increase表示“增加”，escalate表示“逐步上升”。A.higherB.lowerC.smallerD.bigger解析：解析 固定搭配题。根据原文可知，与在国内的学生相比，国外的学生要交“更高的”学费，所以选择higher，不是lower；smaller和bigger不能与tuition搭配。A.withinB.out ofC.intoD.in解析：解析 语义衔接题。与国内
30、学生相对的是“国外的”学生，因此选out of。A.thatB.whomC.whoD.whose解析：解析 语法辨析题。这是一个定语从句，先行词those指代的是那些学生，whose表示“某人的”，在定语从句中作permanent residence的定语。A.affordB.fineC.chargeD.spend解析：解析 动词辨析题。afford the cost表示“负担得起学费”。fine表示“罚款”，charge表示“收费”，spend表示“花费”。A.legalB.medicalC.humanitarianD.financial解析：解析 语义衔接题。大学生可以获得经济援助(fin
31、ancial aid)，而不是法律援助(legal aid)、医疗援助(medical aid)或人道主义援助(humanitarian aid)。A.receiveB.been receivingC.had receivedD.received解析：解析 语义衔接题。根据时间状语in recent years，表明时间，而且大学生在就读的几年内能持续获得经济援助，这里表示是延续性动作，因此用been receiving更符合题意。A.scholarshipsB.tuitionC.paymentD.fee解析：解析 语义衔接题。根据原文可知，这部分费用是作为礼物给学生的，不需要学生偿还，应该是
32、“奖学金scholarships”。A.ofB.forC.toD.at解析：解析 固定搭配题。loan to students表示“发放给学生的贷款”。A.full timeB.part timeC.overtimeD.permanent解析：解析 形容词辨析题。大学生读书时从事的工作都是兼职(part-time job)，而不是全职工作(fulltime job)、加班(overtime job)或者永久性工作(permanent job)。A.fundedB.basedC.rootedD.aimed解析：解析 语义衔接题。依原文可知，经济援助款的发放是按需分配，“基于”大学生的需求，因此b
33、ased为最佳选择。A.forB.inC.ofD.to解析：解析 固定搭配题。assistance to表示“给予的援助”。A.governedB.limitedC.curbedD.encouraged解析：解析 语义衔接题。据原文可知，即使是非常杰出的学生，如果他的家庭不是很贫困，他所能获得的经济援助款是有限的(limited)，而不是被管理的(governed)、被控制的(curbed)或者被鼓励的(encouraged)。A.sourcesB.resourcesC.originsD.roots解析：解析 名词辨析题。经济援助的基金有三大来源(sources)，而resources表示“资
34、源”，origins表示“起源”，roots表示“根源”。A.find forB.find againstC.find inD.find out解析：解析 介词辨析题。据原文可知，每所大学都有专门的办公室负责帮助大学生找出(find out)适合他们申请的经济援助。find for表示“作出有利于诉讼中某一方的判决”；find against表示“作出不利于诉讼中某一方的判决”；没有find in sth.这样的搭配。A.be likely toB.be adapted toC.be qualified toD.be apt to解析：解析 动词词组辨析题。通过该部门有资格(be qualif
35、ied to)帮助大学生填写申请表。be likely to和be apt to表示“有可能发生”，be adapted to表示“经过改变去适应”，都不符合句意。A.takingB.applying forC.postingD.completing解析：解析 语义衔接题。该部门帮助学生完成(completing)申请表的填写工作，而不是拿取(taking)，申请(applying for)或者邮寄(posting)。Faces, like fingerprints, are 21 .

41、o types differ in 40 as well as in actions.（分数：30.00）A.unusualB.extraordinaryC.uncommonD.unique解析：解析 形容词辨析题。据原文内容，众所周知，人的指纹是独一无二的。该句的意思是“人的脸，就像人的指纹一样，是独一无二的”。四个选项都有“不同寻常的”意思，但只有unique表示“独一无二”，所以选择D。A.skillfulB.skilledC.goodD.gifted解析：解析 形容词辨析题。skillful和skilled都是“熟练的，有技能的”意思，但通常用法为be skillful in/at s
42、th.，不用来修饰人；而skilied用来修饰人，通常用法为a skilled worker；good是“好的”，意思太宽泛，gifted表示“有天赋的”。句子的意思是“即使技巧娴熟的作家多半也无法描绘出一张与众不同的面孔的所有特征”，所以选择skilled。A.such asB.asC.likeD.as for解析：解析 语义衔接题。该处表示举例，意为“动物，例如一只鸽子，却能学会识别不同的面孔”，所以用such as，其他选项均不正确。A.describeB.identifyC.recognizeD.depict解析：解析 动词辨析题。describe是“描写，叙述，形容”；identif
43、y是“识别，鉴定，验明”；recognize是“认识，认出，辨认”；depict是“描写，描绘，雕出”。该句话的意思是“但是一个非常年幼的孩子，或者是动物，例如一只鸽子，却能学会识别不同的面孔”。表示“认出某人，识别面孔”，通常用recognize。A.competenceB.potentialC.capacityD.ability解析：解析 名词辨析题。competence是“能力，胜任”，通常指工作的能力；potential指“潜力，潜能”；capacity一般指“容量，包容能力”；ability指“能力”，常用与指后天习得的能力。文章讲到孩子和动物能够学会识别不同的面孔，而我们都认为这种
44、能力是理所当然的。所以用ability最为恰当。A.whatB.thatC.howD.why解析：解析 语法结构题。该句的意思是“我们也通过行为来识别他人”，by是个介词，后面接名词短语或动名词，behave一般为不及物动词，所以不能用what，只能用how，表示方式。A.inB.toC.withD.of解析：解析 介词辨析题。这是一个定语从句，由关系代词which引导，修饰先行词ways。此句意为“他和她以该方式行动、说话、思考和感觉”，所以前面要加一个介词in。A.whichB.whatC.thatD.who解析：解析 语法结构题。该句是个双重定语从句，两个从句都是修饰ways，第一个从句
45、用in which引导，该空引导第二个定语从句，在从句中作主语。当同一个先行词被两个定语从句修饰时，第二个一般用that引导，而不用which。A.AsB.ForC.Different fromD.Like解析：解析 语义衔接题。文章前两段讲到人的面孔是很难详尽描述的，说明其是复杂的，后一段着重讲人的个性。和人的面孔一样，个性也是非常复杂的，所以此处需要一个表示“像”的介词，故D为正确答案。A.faceB.personalityC.thoughtsD.behavior解析：解析 语义衔接题。依上下文可知，此处将描述人的面孔和个性相比较，所以所填词应该是personality。A.easyB.simpleC.longD.difficult解析：解析 语义衔接题。前面一句说“用语言描述一个人的个性比描述他的面孔容易一些”。本句的意思为“如果有人要求你描述一张漂亮的脸应该是什么样的，你多半会感到困难”，所以所填词应该是difficul
