本题答案：
A

in
C.
at
D.
from
本题答案：
A
B
C
D
参考答案：
A
系统解析：
表示两个地区的位置有三个介词：in, to, on。in 表示两者存在所属或包含的关系（如台湾和中国的关系），to 表示两地相邻但不接壤（如中国和日本的关系），on 表示相邻且接壤（如中国和越南的关系）。因选项中没有 on，就只能选 to，表相邻。
3
A.
Although
B.
As
C.
Because
D.
Now that
本题答案：
A
B
C
D
参考答案：
A
系统解析：
“美国是个大国”与“它不是世界上最大的国家”两个分句间很显然是转折的关系，所以应选 although，只有它表转折。now that = since“现在，既然”，表原因。
4
A.
every
B.
all
C.
each
D.
some
本题答案：
A
B
C
D
参考答案：
C
系统解析：
本句意思是美国独立后有 13 个州，每个州都在美国国旗上有所表现。谓语动词是 was，意味着主语是单数，这样排除了 a11 和 some。而 every 一般不与 of 连用，所以只能选 each。
5
A.
disappeared
B.
appeared
C.
were disappeared
D.
were appeared
本题答案：
A
B
C
D
参考答案：
B
系统解析：
本句含义是当美国扩展到西部之后，新的州加入进来，就有新的星出现在国旗上。由于 appear（出现）是个不及物动词，所以不能用被动语态，所以选 B。
6
A.
represents
B.
represented
C.
represent
D.
representing
本题答案：
A
B
C
D
参考答案：
D
系统解析：
representing the new states “代表着两个新州”，该结构是现在分词短语，修饰 stars，因为 stars 和 represent 之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词来表示。

A.
this
B.
that
C.
it
D.
such
本题答案：
A
B
C
D
参考答案：
C

8
A.
work
B.
land
C.
life
D.
star
本题答案：
A
B
C
D
参考答案：
C
系统解析：
本句意思是更多的美国人都是那些来自于世界各地、来新大陆寻找新生活的人的后代。work 不可数，不能由 a 修饰，而世界各地的人是不可能到新大陆寻找星星的，所以无论从语法上，还是从含义上都应选 C。

There
B.
This
C.
Those
D.
That
本题答案：

本题答案：
A
B
C
D
参考答案：

系统解析：
those 可用来指代前面所提到的复数名词。在本句中，those 代替的是“its culture and customs”。that 和 the one 都用来指代单数名词，these 无此用法。
