C [主旨大意题。第一段总体指出了“美国梦”的一些情况，而并非是为“美国梦”下定义，故选C。]2．Theunderlinedword“striving”probablyhasthesamemeaningas________.A．tryinghardB．givingupC．bendingdownD．standingstill答案 A [词义猜测题。根据本段对“美国梦”的简要介绍以及接下来通过《推销员之死》对“美国梦”的诠释可知，作者想告诉我们，从一开始人们就在努力实现“美国梦”，因此strive应该是与tryhard同义的。]3．Accordingtothetext，DeathofaSalesmantriestotellus________.A．whyWillydecidestokillhimselfB．whattheAmericanDreamislikeC．aboutBernard'sdedicationtoAmericaD．thelifestoriesofWillyandBernard答案 B [推理判断题。根据第二、三、四段对《推销员之死》的评论和作者在第五段的总结可推知，《推销员之死》给出了两种“美国梦”的例子，实际是要告诉我们“美国梦”应该是什么样的，故选B项。]4．WhatwouldbetheCORRECTstructureofthetext?答案 B [推理判断题。第一段总体指出了“美国梦”的情况，而二、三、四段以《推销员之死》为例分析了对“美国梦”的两种理解，最后一段则是总结，所以整篇文章的结构是“总—分—总”，故选B项。]9
