答案及解析

1.B题意：他由于营救地震遇难者的英雄壮举而获得市长授予的荣誉勋章。本题是形近词辨析题。要在A.reward “酬劳，奖赏”和B.award“授予”之间进行辨析，由于宾语是荣誉勋章（medal of honor），所以只能选B.award（授予）。常用句型为：award sb something / award something to sb.。C. credit，把……归功于……；D.prize珍视。

2.D题意：加拿大人与大自然相处和睦，因为他们视自然界为衣食父母。本题是固定搭配题， 考查对介词短语in harmony with…（同……和谐、融洽）的掌握。A.coordination协调，调和；B.acquaintance相识，熟人；C.contact接触， 均为不正确搭配。

3.B题意：大众传媒有助于促进产品生产到消费的转化。本题是一道动词词义辨析题，考察对shift词意与句型的掌握。shift from … to …的意思是“从……移到……”为正确选项；干扰项C.lay emphasis后面应接on （强调……）；A.vary、D.moderate的意思分别为“变化”、“缓和”， 与题意不符。题干中mass advertising的意思是“大众传媒”。

4.D题意：我知道你能说会道，但是别劝我买它。本题考查固定搭配，答案要选择into，talk sb into doing something 说服某人做某事。

5.A题意：只要我们不透支，在完成这个项目时，我们预测不会有任何困难。foresee.vt.预见，预知。fabricate.vt.编造（谎言，借口等），制造；infer vt.推断，猜想；inhibit.vt.抑制，约束，常接介词from,如：Fear of cancer may inhibit him from continuing to smoke.

6.D题意：现代形式的通讯和运输大大突破了阿拉斯加的孤立生活状态。本题考查的是一组词组意思辨析。break down失灵，失效、停止运转；break out 突然发生；break into闯入，侵入；break through突破、突围。只有D最符合题意。

7.D题意：请你找一张白纸，将你的名字写在顶部好吗？ 这是一道考过数次的近义词辨析题。blank指（纸张等）空白的；bare指物体的表面没被覆盖的；vacant指（日程等）空的；hollow指容器空的。

8.C题意：我发现很难将我的事业雄心与抚养孩子的需要协调起来。reconcile vt. 调解, 调停. 使相协调. 使和谐, 使一致。consolidate v.巩固；amend v.修正, 改进, 改正；intensify 加强，强化。

9.B题意：虽然完全认识这种病的诱因可能还要几年的时间，但很快就能在此病的治疗上取得突破性进展。名词辨义。breakthrough“突破，突破性进展，重要的新发现”，符合题意。distinction“差别，不同.区分，辨别，优秀，杰出；荣誉，优待”；identification“身份证明；鉴定，验明，认出；认同”；interpretation“解释，说明，诠释；(表演、演奏的)艺术处理”。

10.B题意：大火最终得到控制，但已造成了重大损失。因为had been cause发生在前，即重大损失造成后，大火才得以控制。not before即after。因此B是正确答案。C“因为，自从”；D“因为，当……时候”意思均不符。
