14.B

15.A

16.withwith解析：endupwith意為“以…結(jié)束，以…告終”，為固定短語。

17.gogo解析：gotoone'sheads的意思是“展現(xiàn)、表現(xiàn)”，俗語。用在文中表示“把…寫在臉上”，生怕別人不知道的顯擺。故答案為go。

18.thoughthough解析：本句話的意思是“盡管知道顧客們可能不知道自己為什么買了這些商品，但是賣家卻知道怎么去做。”故答案為though。

19.nono解析：本句話的意思是“那些趾高氣揚的人不可能是那些平易近人的人”。這是否定的意思，故答案為no。

20.amongamong解析：此句意為“后一種觀點得到了許多支持者，尤其…教育家?！憋@然，空處應填“在…中”，介詞among即有此意。

21.waswas解析：此空顯然應是句子的謂語成分，應填動詞的過去式。

22.productionproduction解析：從前一句話“Themanufacturersgobeyondonlytellingconsumersabouttheirproducts.”可以看出，一方面廣告要介紹自己的產(chǎn)品，而第二個目的就是賣掉自己的產(chǎn)品。所以這里作者想要表達的意思是“廣告要使得顧客有一種購買的欲望去購買自己的產(chǎn)品?！惫蚀鸢笧閜roduction。

23.drinkingdrinking解析：由本句句意“通過將污水和化學物質(zhì)倒入河流和湖泊，我們已經(jīng)污染了我們的…水?！憋@然，此空處應為“飲用”。

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.disposedispose解析：由前一句“但是這個問題因為我們的“一次性”技術(shù)而加劇了?！笨芍?，此處應為“丟掉，扔掉”之意，即disposeof。

26.C解析：由C中的howitworks中的第二條“Thismeansyoudon'tneedtousesomuchgasorelectricitytoheatyourwaterathome．”可知答案為C。

27.A解析：由A中的“…theCollegehaspioneeredtheuseofvideoconferencingtechnologyasawayofimprovingitscurriculum．”可知。

28.FF解析：從后面的first，second等字眼可以看出答案為F，因為選項中的“This，ofcourse，willintroducetwovitalsetsofproblem—isalreadyintroducingthem．”相對應。故應選F。

29.C解析：這個題考察的是對后面幾段的歸納。首先在第三段開始“Dr．MaquetusedanelectronicdevicecalledPET…theypracticedataskduringtheday，andastheysleptduringthefollowingnight．”這是一種對比性的研究方法。后來的第四段最后“…theirresponsetimeswhentheywokeupwereevenquickerthanwhentheywenttosleep．”也采用了對比的分析研究，故應選C。

30.A解析：文中提到“…urgedcautioninensuringthateffortstoprotectournationdonotresultinbroadgovernmentauthoritytoerodeprivacyrightsofU．S．citizens．”其意思是“保護國家的利益也不應該傷害美國居民的個人隱私權(quán)利”，可知作者認為這項提議是不公正的。故應選A。

31.C解析：由C中第三段第一句“Regularhighstandardperformancesinmusicanddrama，publicspeakinganddebatingareimportantpreparationforadultlife．”可知，該學校很重視培養(yǎng)學生的語言天賦。

32.D解析：由短文最后一段中的“Butnewmaterialshavenoimpactuntiltheyaremadeintoproducts…willdeterminethesuccessorfailureofacountryinthecomingfuture．”。

33.A解析：第六段中男主人看到清理垃圾的車，誤以為是Mickey來了，正要出去澄清誤會，把上次的小費補上，卻遭到了回收員的蔑視，所以他感到澄清誤會的機會是很渺茫了，對于假期小費的事情他已經(jīng)絕望了。因此正確答案為A。

34.C解析：由C中的第二段“Thispartrepresentsthetensio
