答案解析：

2.D文章第二段第五句话指出“Butthedesiretogetaheadofotherssometimescausespeople...unkindandevendishonest”,也就是说，极端的竞争性有时会使人误入歧途，由此可知D正确答案。

3.A文章首段中几个例子论证了美国人直率的性格，从中我们不难推断出，美国人比其他外国人更善于批判，故A为正确答案。

本文论述了美国人性格的三个方面，其中坦率和对新事物的兴趣是作者赞赏的，都被视为virtue,故排除B，第三段第二句话指出“Americansaregenerallyviewedasfriendly,adaptable,energetic,andkinkhearted”,由此可排除C；根据最后一段内容可推断出，美国人并不难相处，所以选项D也不对。

4.B本文主要阐述了美国人的性格，作者在第二段第二句中提到“Theextremelycompetitivenature...theirworstfault”,以及第二段倒数第二句也提到“Sometimestheyfailtounderstandandappreciatepractices...”,由此可知文章并非全在说美国人的优点，故可排除A；文章虽在第二段两处提到美国人的缺点，但不是主要内容，故C也可排除；选项D显然不对.

5.B此处“12outof14”是指“在多少里面排名第几，占第几位”，所以在此处意思应为:

在14个国家的学生进行的化学测试中，美国学生的成绩排第12位，由此可知B为正确答案。

7.B第二段开头指出，布什总统曾许诺要在接下来的十年里消除文盲，文章后面指出“AccordingtoBush，therearel7millionilliteratesinthiscountryof245millionpeople...Theyhavealongwaytogo”，由此可知，布什并没有实现诺言，故选项A不对，根据布什的统计，文盲比例应为17／245约为7％，而不是9％，故排除C，根据文章最后一句话可知：

在美国，老师的地位几乎在最底层，由此可排除D;根据文章最后一段倒数第三句可推断出B为正确答案。

8.A题目要求按文盲比率由低到高的顺序排列。

根据文章倒数第三句话可知：

在德国，教师地位比较高，由此可推断出其教育水平高，文盲也较少，以及第二段中间部分的“inpercentageterms，thatranktheUnitedStatesalongsideNicaraguaandbelowCuba
