答案及解析：1.K。此处需要填动词的过去分词备选单词中有三个动词的过去分词:developtr eated和calledbetr eatedas属于常见搭配,意思是“被当作……来对待”,developed,called放在此处句意不通;tr eated非常适合此处语境“很多人举着标语和美国国旗要求被当作公民而不是罪犯来对待”。2.D。此处需要填一个名词作为open的宾语,冠词a后面需要接可数名词单数。备选单词中的四个名词:Immigrants是名词复数,effect是抽象名词,这两个单词都不能放在a之后,故都排除;permission意思是“允许,许可”,放在此处意思不通,故也排除;openapath意思是“打开渠道”。3.L。此处缺少动词作谓语且根据上下文应是动词的过去式形式。备选单词中有三个过去式形式的动词:tr eated在第一题已用过,现只剩下developed和called;developed放在此处意思不通;callfor是固定词组,意思是“号召,呼吁”此句讲了“参议员麦凯恩认为美国应该为已在美国生活的非法移民打开通道”,此处作者笔锋一转,开头用了单词while,意为“而其他政治家们则呼吁对非法移民进行更加严格的限制”,无论是从语法角度还是上下文意思方面called都为正确答案。4.E。此题旨在考查“keep+宾语+形容词”的用法,此处需要填一个形容词作为宾语补足语。备选单词中有两个形容词:tough意思是“强硬的,坚强的”,open意思是“敞开的”。根据上下文意思不难判断open为正确答案。5.B。逗号前面一般用副词,备选单词中有两个副词:however表示转折,意思是“然而”;therefore表示因果关系,意思是“因此”。根据前后句意思和上下文语境发现此处是明显的转折关系。6.A。此处需要填一个名词作宾语。备选单词中有四个名词,其中path前面已选过,effect（效果)和permission(许可)均不符合此句句意,故都排除;此句前面提到了newcomers,newcomers指的就是theimmigrants。7.F。get在此处是系动词,后面需要接形容词作表语。备选单词中有两个形容词:open前面已用过,放在此处意思也不通,故tough为正确答案。tough放在此处非常适合语境“西班牙政府决定强硬起来”。8.J。介词without后面需要接名词。备选单词中四个名词已用了path和immigrants,现剩下permission和effect上句提到了西班牙政府决定强硬起来,顺承上句,此句意思是“那些没经过许可到西班牙的非法移民将被遣送回国”,故permission为正确答案。9.G。此处需要填一个名词做宾语，备选单词中四个名词现只剩effect,takeeffect属于固定词组,意思是“生效,奏效”。此题旨在考查固定词组takeeffect的用法。10.C。此处旨在考查developedcountr y和developingcountr y的区别。developedcountr y的意思是“发达国家”,developingcountr y的意思是“发展中国家”。根据文章语境和上下文意思,此处应填developing。此句意思是“但是有人担心这样会造成发展中国家的人才流失”。
