答案：D;A;C;D;D;C;C;C;B;C;D;B;B;D;A
解析：

此处的合成构词法值得注意，如： 11A．money-giving B．money-supporting C．money-from-the-government-to-the-public D． money-borrowed-from-the-government-by-the-public，它的合成词如此之长，如此之含意丰富，值得研读学习。这个语篇在用词上的另一个特点是：大多数空白的选项都是含有抽象意义的名词或者形容词，这是近年来高考试题的一个新难点（详见：2004高考天津卷的第26题，2004高考湖北卷的第21题，以及2004高考上海卷的第45、52和53题），如：抽象名词词群6A．disbelief B．doubt C．mistrust D． suspect；抽象形容此词群8A．doubtful B．unnecessary C．unwise D． wasteful以及它们的混合词组7A．greater importance B．necessary notice C．sincere intention D． particular purpose。
