　參考答案&解析：

　　1、D. eliminate.

　　[注釋]eliminate(=get rid of, do away with)消除，排除，淘汰：1) Can the government eliminate poverty?(政府能否消除貧困?) 2)eliminate slang words form an essay(從文章中去掉俚語(yǔ)詞)。

　　2、A. dressed.

　　[注釋]be dressed in 穿這...衣服。Wear意為“穿著”是及物動(dòng)詞，語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)上與本題不符。Put on穿上，強(qiáng)調(diào)的動(dòng)作。

　　3、A. due to.

　　[注釋]due to由于。有些語(yǔ)言專(zhuān)家認(rèn)為due to引導(dǎo)的短語(yǔ)在句中只能作表語(yǔ)，如：1)His absence was due to the storm. 2)The delay was due to heavy traffic. 3)This accident was due to his carelessness.但現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)里due to引導(dǎo)的短語(yǔ)可以作狀語(yǔ)用，如：He failed due to carelessness. Due to heavy traffic, he was late for an hour or so.

　　4、C. geared.

　　[注釋]be geared to與...相連接的，與...搭配得上的。Be relative to與...有關(guān)的：This is not relative to the accident.(這和這次事故無(wú)關(guān)。)本題意指courses(課程)是否與needs(需要)掛得上鉤，而不是一般得有點(diǎn)關(guān)系，故應(yīng)選geared.

　　5、D. get over.

　　[注釋]get over (difficulties)克服(困難)。
