答案解析:
1.B文章首段第二句提到“Inmanyculturesrespectforolderpeopleorthoseinpostionsofauthoritykeepsothersfromexpressingtheirtruefeelings”.由此可知:
出于对长者尊敬,许多国家的人们往往不会表达自己的真实感受,故选项B正确.
2.D文章第二段第五句话指出“Butthedesiretogetaheadofotherssometimescausespeople...unkindandevendishonest”,也就是说,极端的竞争性有时会使人误入歧途,由此可知D正确答案。
3.A文章首段中几个例子论证了美国人直率的性格,从中我们不难推断出,美国人比其他外国人更善于批判,故A为正确答案。
本文论述了美国人性格的三个方面,其中坦率和对新事物的兴趣是作者赞赏的,都被视为virtue,故排除B,第三段第二句话指出“Americansaregenerallyviewedasfriendly,adaptable,energetic,andkinkhearted”,由此可排除C;
根据最后一段内容可推断出,美国人并不难相处,所以选项D也不对。
4.B本文主要阐述了美国人的性格,作者在第二段第二句中提到“Theextremelycompetitivenature...theirworstfault”,以及第二段倒数第二句也提到“Sometimestheyfailtounderstandandappreciatepractices...”,由此可知文章并非全在说美国人的优点,故可排除A;
文章虽在第二段两处提到美国人的缺点,但不是主要内容,故C也可排除;
选项D显然不对.
5.B此处“12outof14”是指“在多少里面排名第几,占第几位”,所以在此处意思应为:
在14个国家的学生进行的化学测试中,美国学生的成绩排第12位,由此可知B为正确答案。
6.C文章第三段提到“whoseschoolshavenouniformnationalcurriculum”,“theproblemliesattheelementaryandhighschoollevels...”以及“Amongtherootcausesmostfrequentlymentioned...thelowrespectinwhichU.S.societyholdsteachers”。
由此可知A、B和D三项均是教育水平低的原因,选项C未在文中提及,故为正确答案。
