13.B

14.Duringthe1960s

15.B

16.gripgrip解析：顯然，此空應填一個動詞“握，拿”，英語中握筆用動詞grip。

17.differencedifference解析：顯然，這句話是在對老年人和年輕人寫字之間進行比較，而且由后半句中的"getbetterat…”可知，此空必為“不同的”。

18.surveysurvey解析：根據后面的數據，空缺處指的是1993年的一項調查問卷，所以此處應填“survey”。

19.butbut解析：此句意為“30歲的人表現出非常不同的握筆方式，…超過40歲的人都統(tǒng)一用三個手指握筆?！憋@然，此空處表轉折。

20.thosethose解析：本句的意思是“他們不認為自己比別的不重要的人更好、更優(yōu)秀?！边@里比較的是down-to-earthpersons和別人。故答案為those。

21.proportionproportion解析：此處意為很大比例的學生仍然喜歡簡單的工作，所以此處應填“proportion”。

22.takestakes解析：要注意時態(tài)，這里意為“占據”，所以所以此處應填“takes”。

23.firstfirst解析：根據題意，作者想在這里做一個比較，而比較的對象是目的。這里作者僅僅給出了兩個目的，所以這里是和第一個目的進行比較。故答案為first。

24.waswas解析：此空顯然應是句子的謂語成分，應填動詞的過去式。

25.workwork解析：根據上文，對比的是對工作的態(tài)度，所以此處應填“work”。

26.C解析：由短文倒數第二段可知美國只有四個州沒有importtaxes。美國一共50個州，所以應該有46個有importtaxes。

27.B解析：由B中的第一段“Theozonelayeristhreatenedbychemicalemissions，theclimateisendangeredfromfossilanddeforestation…．”可知。

28.B解析：由B中的后面部分“Themostimportantconstructions…HeavenKitchen,…othersofhistoricinterestandscenicbeauty.”可知。

29.B解析：由B中的disadvantage中“Althoughnotmuchwasteisproduced，itisvery，verydangerous．Itmustbesealedupandburiedformanyyearstoallowtheradioactivitytodieaway．”可知答案為B。

30.A解析：由短文最后一段最后一句可知A不對。

31.C解析：文章開始就提出“WhatnewvaluesshouldAmericansadopt?”指出美國人應該具有什么樣的價值觀念。接著作者列出了自己的觀點，所以整個文章是圍繞著“價值觀念”的論點展開。故應選C。

32.D解析：由第二段最后—句“InNewYork，Comstat'sstatisticalmapsareanalyzedeachweekatameetingofthecity'spolicechiefandprecinctcaptains．”可知。

33.EE解析：第一段引出了人們對未來的擔心，認為老齡化將會帶來各種問題。第三段是對老齡化社會的肯定，認為這是文明發(fā)展的成果?！癿yth”一詞含有杜撰的意思。一些人的擔心是多余的。E起到
