5.B 語(yǔ)法分析。這里的which指代先行詞在句中做主語(yǔ)。

6.B 詞義辨析。A什么Ｂ是否Ｃ哪一個(gè)D當(dāng)…時(shí)；我問(wèn)他是否要去motorpool修車(chē)。

7.D 形容詞辨析。A困惑B愚蠢C有趣D聰明；我自以為自己很聰明。

9.A 動(dòng)詞辨析。A笑B喊叫C停止D說(shuō)；我的朋友忍不住地大笑，是因?yàn)槲腋沐e(cuò)了。

10.B 固定詞組。Refer to涉及，談及；參考，查閱；carpool是指多人乘坐的車(chē)走的車(chē)道。

11.C 上下文串聯(lián)。這里的drive in指這樣的車(chē)輛可以走的車(chē)道。

12.C 固定搭配。Embarrassed與介詞On連用。對(duì)…敢打?qū)擂巍?/p>

13.B 短語(yǔ)辨析。A出去B走過(guò)來(lái)C達(dá)到D下車(chē)；我的朋友走了過(guò)來(lái)。

18.C 名詞辨析。A時(shí)間B錢(qián)C能源D污染；這樣做的原因就是節(jié)約能源，減少污染。

19.B 連詞辨析。While然而，表示輕微的轉(zhuǎn)折。

20.A 上下文串聯(lián)。這里是指新來(lái)的人很難理解這樣語(yǔ)義變換很大的詞語(yǔ)。

考點(diǎn)：考查文化類(lèi)短文

點(diǎn)評(píng)：motorpool這個(gè)詞在美國(guó)英語(yǔ)中不同的語(yǔ)境中有不同的含義。答題前一定要讀懂全文，弄清文章要表達(dá)的思想，注意前后段落之間的關(guān)系。答題中，一定要認(rèn)真分析，注意選項(xiàng)與上下文的關(guān)系，與前后單詞的關(guān)系。對(duì)于一時(shí)沒(méi)有太大的把握的題可以放到最后再來(lái)完成，因?yàn)橛袝r(shí)答案可以從下文內(nèi)容體現(xiàn)出來(lái)。答完后再通讀一篇文章，看看所選選項(xiàng)能不能是語(yǔ)句通順，語(yǔ)意連貫。
