參考答案

1.pre-exposureprophylaxispre-exposureprophylaxis解析：本題涉及到艾滋病的傳播方式．從而將答案出處定位到文章第八段。該段第二句提到Drugsforpre-exposureprophylaxis...HIVhavethesameeffectinprotectingpartners。由此可知本題應(yīng)填入pre-exposureprophylaxis。

2.Merchandise

3.A解析：分析判斷題。本文作者并不是一開始就知道“簽訂合同，討價(jià)還價(jià)”等等這些謀生的道理。但是在經(jīng)歷了種種挫折以后，他逐漸聰明和成熟起來：他學(xué)會(huì)了談判，學(xué)會(huì)了講價(jià)錢，學(xué)會(huì)了簽訂合同，為自己爭取到了應(yīng)得的合理合法的可觀收入。這難道不是“吃一塹，長一智”嗎?

4.quicklymoveinlandortohighergroundquicklymoveinlandortohigherground解析：空白處應(yīng)為名詞(詞組)，意為與earthquake并列的預(yù)示海嘯即將發(fā)生的預(yù)兆。原文該部分第1點(diǎn)和第3點(diǎn)分別指出了兩個(gè)預(yù)示海嘯即將發(fā)生的預(yù)兆，其中earthquake在第1點(diǎn)提到，第3點(diǎn)中的herald與題目中的signal都有“預(yù)示”的意思，因此，第3點(diǎn)提到的riseorfallofcoastalwaters為本題答案。

5.C解析：全文沒有關(guān)于基因藥品是否更新更貴的說法，因此是NG。

6.1010解析：由題干中的amplitude和level定位到第五個(gè)小標(biāo)題下第2段末句Thatis，thewaveamplitudeinalevel6earthquake...alevel9earthquake．此處需填入數(shù)詞性成分，基于Richterscale的數(shù)字是按10倍增長的，文中所述6級(jí)地震波振幅比5級(jí)地震增加10倍，同樣從7級(jí)地震到9級(jí)地震其幅度增加100倍，因此很容易得出本題結(jié)論。

7.socialconnectionssocialconnections解析：空白處需要名詞性成分。根據(jù)原文，人際理論強(qiáng)調(diào)社會(huì)交流對(duì)精神健康的重要性而題目把原文反過來說，因此without后需填入的是原文強(qiáng)調(diào)的部分，故答案為socialconnections。

8.scholarsscientistsandartistsscholars，scientists，andartists解析：空白處應(yīng)為名詞(詞組)。原文該段末尾的whorepresentitshighculturaltraditions中的who指的是末句開頭提到的ManyofthemostoutstandingChineseAmericanscholars，scientists，andartists，題目將段末的定語從句改寫為被動(dòng)語態(tài)，所以who所指的內(nèi)容就是本題答案，即scholars，scientistsandartists。

9.C解析：綜合判斷題。盡管在本文的第九段中提到伊朗和恐怖組織聯(lián)手對(duì)付美國的情況，但是，綜觀全文，我們卻看不到“本文作者建議采取措施來促使恐怖組織分裂為敵對(duì)的兩派”的信息。因此，本小題的答案為“NG”。

10.improvementsinmedicaltechnologyimprovementsinmedicaltechnology解析：本題定位詞是healthservices，是服務(wù)行業(yè)的具體內(nèi)容，從而鎖定GoodsVsServices部分的EmploymentTrendsinServiceIndustries。該部分第一段就是與此相關(guān)的信息。從"Theincreaseddemandforhealthservicesisduetoimprovementsinmedicaltechnology，thegrowingsizeoftheU．S．population，andtheincreasingpr
