【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹了美國的基本教育制度。文章為我們描述了美國學(xué)校孩子上學(xué)的年齡，入讀的學(xué)校，學(xué)校的類型：公立學(xué)校和私立學(xué)校，以及上大學(xué)的基本情況等。

1.考查連詞及語境的理解。句意：有的州孩子必須在16歲才開始上學(xué)。A和B所以，因此C直到D自從。根據(jù)第一句In the USA, children start school when they are five years old.可知到16歲上學(xué)是比較晚的，故選Ｃ。

2.考查動(dòng)詞及語境的理解。句意：但是大多數(shù)學(xué)生在中學(xué)畢業(yè)時(shí)都在十六七歲。A離開B進(jìn)入C到達(dá)D通過。But是和前面的一句形成對(duì)比的，所以大部分學(xué)生在中學(xué)畢業(yè)即離開中學(xué)時(shí)都在十六七歲；故選Ａ。

3.考查數(shù)量詞及語境的理解。句意：大部分的孩子都是上的公立學(xué)校。A少數(shù)，幾個(gè)B大部分C少數(shù)D幾乎沒有。根據(jù)后面的一句可知公立學(xué)校不用繳納昂貴的費(fèi)用，由此可知選Ｂ。

4.考查動(dòng)詞及語境的理解。句意：他們的父母不必支付教育費(fèi)用因?yàn)閷W(xué)�？梢詮恼�府那里獲得金錢。A查找B支付C尋找D考慮。由此推斷公立學(xué)校費(fèi)用比私立學(xué)校低很多；故選Ｂ。

5.考查名詞及語境的理解。A書B老師C食物D金錢。根據(jù)上一句可知，只有從政府那里獲得教育資金家長(zhǎng)才能為孩子支付較少的學(xué)費(fèi)；故選Ｄ。

6.考查副詞及語境的理解。句意：盡管費(fèi)用很貴但是很多父母仍然喜歡私立學(xué)校。A仍然B從不C當(dāng)然，確信，D已經(jīng)。根據(jù)though they are much more expensive.可知選Ａ。

7.考查動(dòng)詞及語境的理解。句意：今天大約有一半的高中生在讀完中學(xué)以后讀大學(xué)。A玩耍B改變C學(xué)習(xí)D遇到。根據(jù)后面的after they finish secondary schools.一句可知，中學(xué)畢業(yè)后緊接著上大學(xué)；故選Ｃ。

8.考查連詞及語境的理解。句意：州立大學(xué)的學(xué)生不必支付過高的費(fèi)用因?yàn)樗麄兊母改妇蜕�活在這個(gè)州里。A在．．．．．．之前B因?yàn)镃因?yàn)�，由于（介詞短語，不跟句子）D盡管。前后兩句構(gòu)成了因果關(guān)系，前者為結(jié)果，后面為原因；故選Ｂ。

9.考查動(dòng)詞及語境的理解。句意：許多學(xué)生在讀大學(xué)期間就工作了。A吸煙B喝酒C打架D工作。通過最后的live by their own hands可知只有工作賺錢了才能養(yǎng)活自己，故選Ｄ。

10.考查形容詞及語境的理解。句意：通過這種方式他們養(yǎng)成了工作的好習(xí)慣并能養(yǎng)活自己。A好的B壞的C高興的D錯(cuò)誤的。邊讀大學(xué)邊工作應(yīng)該是一個(gè)好習(xí)慣；故選Ａ。
