14.Toparaphrase．

15.A

16.whowho解析：此空后的句子顯然為定語從句，修飾“Behaviorists”，所以應填一個who，引導修飾人的定語從句。

17.dailydaily解析：此句意為“但是不要使他們的…工作僅僅成為一長串令人心煩的差使?！憋@然，此空應填“每日的，日常的”。

18.whosewhose解析：此句意為“StephanieThomas，一位學習輔導老師，…發(fā)現(xiàn)已經(jīng)發(fā)表了…?！庇纱丝芍仗幩顔卧~必為whose，引導定語從句，修飾teacher。

19.fromfrom解析：keepsth．fromdoingsth．意為“防止某事…”，為固定短語。

20.wherewhere解析：此題考查where引導的定語從句，修飾前面提到的plane，trainorbus。所以此處應填關(guān)系副詞“where”。

21.gradesgrades解析：此句意為“…他指出在主要大學里關(guān)控制評分標準及恢復不及格…的努力。”顯然，此空處應填“分數(shù)”。

22.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。

23.toto解析：“incontrastto”為固定搭配，意為“與…相對比”。所以此處應填“to”。

24.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。

25.whatwhat解析：顯然，此空后的句子應為"obscure”的賓語從句，而“isbeingwritten”中缺主語，可做主句的賓語、從句的主語的只有what。

26.D解析：書評一中的“…h(huán)eignoressomekeyargumentsinfavorofthemarket…”，書評二中的“Whilepartsofthisbookaredisappointinglyshallow…”，書評三種的“Stiglitz，58，ishardlythefirstpersontoaccusetheIMF…”都有提到Stiglitz的一些負面的消息。所以本題應選D。

27.C解析：文章第二段對于基因治療的方式的解釋是用于治療的基因通過“virusesthatdon'tcausehumandisease”進入體內(nèi)，就好像“特洛伊木馬”一樣，由此可見，這些病毒是無害的。因此正確答案為C。

28.A解析：“Itwaslikeofferingtodropasafeonmyheadtocuremyheadache．”意為“就像給我提供一個保險箱放我頭上來治愈我的頭痛一樣。”含蓄諷刺地說技術(shù)員提供的建議不可采取。所以本題應選A。

29.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起到承上啟下的作用。

30.D解析：由整篇短文的主旨“低鹽并不適于所有人”可知，此處“eventheveryvocal‘lowsalt’exponent”意為“即使是強力推薦的‘低鹽’”。

31.AA解析：只有A放在此處才能與上一段意思連貫。

32.B解析：由短文第四段第一句“…the17thand18thcenturiesmademanypeopledependentonpaidworkbyd
