答案及解析
1.B題意：他由于營救地震遇難者的英雄壯舉而獲得市長授予的榮譽勛章。本題是形近詞辨析題。要在A.reward “酬勞，獎賞”和B.award“授予”之間進(jìn)行辨析，由于賓語是榮譽勛章（medal of honor），所以只能選B.award（授予）。常用句型為：award sb something / award something to sb.。C. credit，把……歸功于……；D.prize珍視。
2.D題意：加拿大人與大自然相處和睦，因為他們視自然界為衣食父母。本題是固定搭配題， 考查對介詞短語in harmony with…（同……和諧、融洽）的掌握。A.coordination協(xié)調(diào)，調(diào)和；B.acquaintance相識，熟人；C.contact接觸， 均為不正確搭配。
3.B題意：大眾傳媒有助于促進(jìn)產(chǎn)品生產(chǎn)到消費的轉(zhuǎn)化。本題是一道動詞詞義辨析題，考察對shift詞意與句型的掌握。shift from … to …的意思是“從……移到……”為正確選項；干擾項C.lay emphasis后面應(yīng)接on （強調(diào)……）；A.vary、D.moderate的意思分別為“變化”、“緩和”， 與題意不符。題干中mass advertising的意思是“大眾傳媒”。
4.D題意：我知道你能說會道，但是別勸我買它。本題考查固定搭配，答案要選擇into，talk sb into doing something 說服某人做某事。
5.A題意：只要我們不透支，在完成這個項目時，我們預(yù)測不會有任何困難。foresee.vt.預(yù)見，預(yù)知。fabricate.vt.編造（謊言，借口等），制造；infer vt.推斷，猜想；inhibit.vt.抑制，約束，常接介詞from,如：Fear of cancer may inhibit him from continuing to smoke.
6.D題意：現(xiàn)代形式的通訊和運輸大大突破了阿拉斯加的孤立生活狀態(tài)。本題考查的是一組詞組意思辨析。break down失靈，失效、停止運轉(zhuǎn)；break out 突然發(fā)生；break into闖入，侵入；break through突破、突圍。只有D最符合題意。
7.D題意：請你找一張白紙，將你的名字寫在頂部好嗎？ 這是一道考過數(shù)次的近義詞辨析題。blank指（紙張等）空白的；bare指物體的表面沒被覆蓋的；vacant指（日程等）空的；hollow指容器空的。
8.C題意：我發(fā)現(xiàn)很難將我的事業(yè)雄心與撫養(yǎng)孩子的需要協(xié)調(diào)起來。reconcile vt. 調(diào)解, 調(diào)停; 使相協(xié)調(diào); 使和諧, 使一致。consolidate v.鞏固；amend v.修正, 改進(jìn), 改正；intensify 加強，強化。

10.B題意：大火最終得到控制，但已造成了重大損失。因為had been cause發(fā)生在前，即重大損失造成后，大火才得以控制。not before即after。因此B是正確答案。C“因為，自從”；D“因為，當(dāng)……時候”意思均不符。
