Answers: DBCBC
1. 【D】pension: sum of money paid regularly by the State to people above a certain age and to widowed or disabled people, or by an employer to a retired employee.
Earning: money earned
Salary: fixed regular (usu monthly) payment to employees doing other than manual or mechanical work
Donation: something, especially money, that you give to a person or an organization in order to help them
2. 【B】本句谓语动词是had,两个逗号之间的部分是主语的定语;根据impress sth on/upon sb(使某人铭记某事)的搭配,主语与impress之间构成动宾关系。故应用过去分词。
3. 【C】perspective: a view, especially one in which you can see a long way into the distance
View: what can be seen from a particular place, esp fine natural scenery
Landscape: an area of countryside or land of a particular type, used especially when talking about its appearance
Scene: a view of a place as you see it, or as it appears in a picture
4. 【B】abolish: end the existence of (a custom, an institution, etc)
Expire: (of sth that lasts a period of time) come to an end; become no longer in use
Amend: correct an error in (sth); make minor improvements in; change slightly
Constrain: make (sb) do sth by strong (moral) persuasion or by force
5. 【C】move: propose (sth) formally for discussion and decision (at a meeting) 提议,引导的宾语从句中应用虚拟语气,即(should+)动词原形。所以本题应选appoint。类似的词还有suggest, propose, recommendate等等。
