9、rd or phoneme. To 14take only one example, when spelling an unknown foreign nameand saying D as in Denmark, the phonetic elements carryingD may have to be held in memory until the word Denmark isrecognized, which in turns makes it possible to recognize it as a 15D opposed to a T.

16、rnet is allowing me to feed this vanity to ever greater extent, and the occasional sneaky web search has grown 22 into a full-blown obsession for how high up Googles ranking my 23 articles appear where I put my name into the search box. When I 24 lastly looked, my best effort was a rather humiliatin

17、g 47th place. 25 You know you have a problem how you find yourself competing for 26 ranking with a retired basketball player from the 1970s.

18、s: think crackberry, power- pointlessness or cheesepodding. Most of us are familiar in sending 28 an e-mail to a colleague sitting a couple of feet away instead talking 29 to them.

20、ne of my private joys，這種情況下謂語應(yīng)該與one保持一致，因此應(yīng)該使用單數(shù)。22.答案:everan解析 冠詞缺失。to a great extent表示“從更大程度上講”，冠詞a是不能省略的，此處在great前有一個(gè)以元音音素開頭的副詞ever，這時(shí)應(yīng)該把冠詞a改成an。23.答案:forwith解析 介詞誤用。obsess with表示“癡迷于”，名詞obsession也需要和with搭配，而不能和for搭配。24.答案:wherewhen解析 連詞誤用。本句的意思是“當(dāng)今的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)使我的虛榮心得到更大程度的滿足。以前只是偶爾偷偷地上網(wǎng)搜索一下自己的排名，現(xiàn)在發(fā)展成熱衷

22、球明星較勁的時(shí)候，你就知道自己有問題了?！?7.答案:lonelyalone解析 詞義混淆。lonely表示“寂寞，感到孤獨(dú)”，而alone表示“獨(dú)自一個(gè)人”，本句的意思是“有這種不正常的網(wǎng)絡(luò)習(xí)慣的人可不止我一個(gè)?！币虼藨?yīng)該使用alone。28.答案:inwith解析 固定搭配中的介詞誤用。be familiar with doing sth. 表示“熟悉、習(xí)慣做某事”。29.答案:insteadof解析 介詞缺失。instead是副詞，不能直接跟賓語，instead of后面可以跟賓語。30.答案:thethe解析 冠詞冗余。first date意為“初次約會(huì)”，這里是泛指，而不是特指，無需

And, in any other case, they account for only a small percentage of the total 35 losses due to shop-lifting. The same applies for

25、 the deliberate amateur who is, so to 36 speak, a professional in training. Most of them get caught sooner or later, and they are dealing with severely by the courts. 37 The real problem is that the person who gives way to a sudden temptation are in all other respects an honest and law-abiding 38 ci

26、tizen. Contrary to that one would expect, this kind of shop-lifter is 39 rarely poor. He does not steal because he needs the goods but cannot afford to pay for them. He steals because he simply cannot stop himself. And there are countless others who, because of age, have sick or plain absent-mindedness, simply forget to pay for what 40 they take from the shops. When caught, all are liable to prosecution, and the decision about whether to send fo
