【答案解析】
近义辨析。although虽然（多用于正式文体，语气较强，只用于表示事实的让步状语从句中，叙述的是已成立的事实）；however然而（较正式，虽与but意思相同，但比but 弱，且把相反的概念放到极为次要的地位，因此常常用来做插入语，还可较婉转地引出最后决定或结论）；because是从属连词，多表示所叙述的理由是本句的重点，弓I导原因状语从句；on account of因为，由于（引导名词形短语，不能引导从句）；所以C为答案。

作之前，所以选项A是答案。

形容词应用。outside和outer均有“外部的”意思。但outside —般指物体的外表或表面；而outer指一种相对性，即相对于内部而言的外部或外表；即pearanee外貌，外观；hiding隐匿；在此指牙齿的外表面，是相对于内部而言的，因此选项C为答案。

B The gover nment had hardly take n
C Hardly the gover nment had take n
D The gover nment is hardly tak ing
【正确答案】：A
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
结构应用。此句是倒装句hardly…when的用法。从属连词no sooner…than，hardly…when, scarcely…when/before通常需在主句中采用部分倒装的形式。这种句型一般用过去完成时，强调一个动作紧跟在一个动作后面发生……此句意为“原有的犯罪行为还没得到制裁，新的犯罪行为又出现了。”所以选项A正确。第12题

第1题
Phyllis Wheatley is regarded as America''s first black poet. She was born in Sen egal, Africa, about 1753 and brought to America aboard a slave ship at about the age of seven. John and Susannah Wheatley bought her for three pounds at a slave aucti on in Bost on in 1761 to be a pers onal serva nt of Mrs. Wheatley. The family had three other slaves, and all were treated with respect. Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family, which included being raised and educated with the Wheatley''s twin 15-year-old children, Mary and Nathaniel. At that time, most females, even from better
families, could not read and write, but Mary was probably one of the best educated young wome n in Bost on. Mary wan ted to become a teacher, and in fact, it was Mary who decided to take charge of Phyllis''s educati on.
Phyllis soon displayed her remarkable talents. At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics and passages from the Bible. And eventually, Mrs. Wheatley decided Phyllis should become a Christian.
At the age of thirteen Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Bost on sen sati on after she wrote a poem on the death of the eva ngelical preacher George Whitfield in 1770. It became com mon practice in Bost on to have "Mrs. Wheatley''s Phyllis" read poetry in polite society. Mary married in 1771, and Phyllis later moved to the country because of poor health, as a teacher and caretaker to a farmer''s three children. Mary had tried to interest p ublishers in Phyllis''s poems but once they heard she was a Negro they were n”t in terested.
Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Natha ni el, who was now a bus in essma n, to London. It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health. Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. It was the first book published by a black American. In 1775 Phyllis wrote a poem extolling the accomplishments of George Washington and sent it to him. He responded by praising her talents and in vit ing her to visit his headquarters. After both of her ben efactors
died in 1777, and Mary died in 1778, Phyllis was freed as a slave. She married in 1778, movedaway from Bost on, and had three childre n. But after
the un happy marriage, she moved back to Bost on, and died in poverty at the age of thirty.
What does the passage mainly discuss?
A Slavery and the treatment of the black people in America.
B The Wheatley family, including their slaves.
C The life of America's first black poet.
D The achieveme nts of Phyllis Wheatley.
【正确答案】：C
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
主旨题型。本文首先谈及她是美国第一个黑人诗人，后描写了她出生在非洲，被
贩卖黑奴的船只带到美国，被John and Susannah Wheatley 买去，与其他黑奴一样在这家受到尊重；跟从John and Susannah Wheatley 的女儿Mary受教育……；十三岁写出她的第一首诗……；后结婚生子，最终三十岁时穷困而死；因此选项C是答案。

【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
词义题型。从第一段可以看出她虽被卖为奴隶，却受到良好的对待，甚至不久就被当作是家庭的一员(Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family) ，因此respect在此应为consideration 体贴，照顾；选项A正确。其余几个选项全是反义。第3题
