【解析】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校孩子上學的年齡，入讀的學校，學校的類型：公立學校和私立學校，以及上大學的基本情況等。
⑴句意：有的州孩子必須在16歲才開始上學。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歲上學是比較晚的，故選Ｃ。
⑵句意：但是大多數(shù)學生在中學畢業(yè)時都在十六七歲。A離開B進入C到達D通過。But是和前面的一句形成對比的，所以大部分學生在中學畢業(yè)即離開中學時都在十六七歲；故選Ａ。
⑶句意：大部分的孩子都是上的公立學校。A少數(shù)，幾個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校不用繳納昂貴的費用，由此可知選Ｂ。
⑷句意：他們的父母不必支付教育費用因為學�？梢詮恼�府那里獲得金錢。A查找B支付C尋找D考慮。由此推斷公立學校費用比私立學校低很多；故選Ｂ。
⑸lend借出；spend花費；get得到；cost花費。故選C。
⑹句意：盡管費用很貴但是很多父母仍然喜歡私立學校。A去；B討厭；C喜歡，D介意。根據(jù)though they are much more expensive.可知選C。
⑺句意：今天大約有一半的高中生在讀完中學以后讀大學。play玩耍；miss錯過；change改變；study學習。根據(jù)后面的after they finish secondary schools.一句可知，中學畢業(yè)后緊接著上大學；故選D。
⑻句意：州立大學的學生不必支付過高的費用因為他們的父母就生活在這個州里。was born出生；travel旅行；visit參觀；live住；故選D。
⑼句意：許多學生在讀大學期間就工作了。work工作；study hard努力學習；do sports做運動；read books看書。根據(jù)下文可知選A。
⑽句意：通過這種方式他們養(yǎng)成了工作的好習慣并能養(yǎng)活自己。A好的B壞的C高興的D錯誤的。邊讀大學邊工作應該是一個好習慣；故選Ａ。
