答案及解析

1.【解析】C

cover“覆盖”，在本句中指美国占据北美大陆的很大一部分面积。其他三个词都与本意无关，所以选C。

2.【解析】A

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.【解析】A

“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.【解析】C

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aU和some.而every一般不与of连用，所以只能选each.

5.【解析】B

two more stars“又多了两颗星”。another表示“又，再”的时候，往往放数词之前，应说"another two stars"。

6.【解析】D

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。

7.【解析】A

介词of在此处表示同位关系，即the new states就是指Alaska和Hawaii.又如：the city of Beijing北京市。

8.【解析】B

in great numbers“大量地，大批地，成群结队地”，指人成群地来，固定搭配。

9.【解析】A

on the coast“沿着海岸线”。coast往往和on相搭配，而不与其他介词搭配。

10.【解析】C

for that reason“由于那个原因”，固定搭配。又如for some reason“由于某种原因”。
