　　參考答案：

　　1.正確答案：A答案解析：that在這里指代的是income tax，這句話的意思是：有些州有一個(gè)和聯(lián)邦政府一樣的所得稅。

　　2.正確答案：A答案解析：本題的考點(diǎn)是：虛擬語(yǔ)氣，but for 表示“要不是”的意思，后面句子的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用虛擬語(yǔ)氣would have gone表示與過(guò)去事實(shí)相反的假設(shè)，本句的意思是：要不是考試，昨晚我就去看足球比賽了。

　　3.正確答案：B答案解析：本題是詞義辨析題，advantage優(yōu)勢(shì)，長(zhǎng)處，“比…有優(yōu)勢(shì)”經(jīng)常用“advantage over sb.”;ability 能力;aggression 侵犯，侵略;alternative兩者選擇其一的，供選擇的東西;這句話的意思是：他比其他的孩子有優(yōu)勢(shì)，他有非常好的學(xué)前教育。

　　4.正確答案：A答案解析：前后并列句的意思有轉(zhuǎn)折，所以用but.

　　5.正確答案：C答案解析：考查強(qiáng)調(diào)句的用法。強(qiáng)調(diào)句的結(jié)構(gòu)是：It +動(dòng)詞be +強(qiáng)調(diào)部分 + that (who) + 其它成分。the police believe 為插入語(yǔ)。
