They are also (8) by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science (9) they will be judged more (10) in something like engineering than with an arts degree.

Most Asian-American students (11) their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children (12) full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer.

A changing up

B moving up

C breaking up

D transferring up

【正确答案】：B

【本题分数】：1.0分

【答案解析】

[考点] 考查固定搭配。

四个选项中都含有up，空格后面跟的是through the nation's schools，由此可以推断，这里指的很可能是“升学”。change up意为“加快车速”；move up 意；为“(使)升级；晋升”；break up意为“打碎；分离；终止”；transfer 不能与up组成词组。由此可见，只有B项move与up能够组成一个有“升级”含义的词组，故选B。该句意为“随着他们的孩子开始向高一级的学校升级……”。第2题

A clear

B vague

C bright

D mature

【正确答案】：A

【本题分数】：1.0分

【答案解析】

[考点] 考查形容词词义辨析。

该空后面的部分意为“新的一批学术上的成功人士出现了”，由此可见，这是前文提到的“亚洲学生升学”的结果。clear意为“显然的”；vague意为“模糊的”；bright意为“明亮的；聪明的”；mature意为“成熟的”。A项比较符合此处的语境。

第3题

A subjects

B libraries

C institutions

D universities

【正确答案】：D

【本题分数】：1.0分

【答案解析】

[考点] 考查逻辑衔接。

在该空后面的定语从句中出现了mathematics，science and engineering departments，拥有这些院系的很显然应该是大学。所以答案为D项universities。subjects意为“科目”，libraries意为“图书馆”，institutions
