13.Howpeoplebehave

14.A

15.Civil．

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

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(yīng)填“每日的，日常的”。

18.awareaware解析：beawareof，固定搭配，意為“意識到”。所以此處應(yīng)填“aware”。

19.callscalls解析：此句意為“他把這種缺乏禮節(jié)的行為稱作是一種無意識的無禮”。call+雙賓語結(jié)構(gòu)，以為“把…稱為”，所以此處填“calls”。

20.waswas解析：此空顯然應(yīng)是句子的謂語成分，應(yīng)填動詞的過去式。

21.ofof解析：beofthesame…意為“是一樣…”，此句意為“…在正確的指導(dǎo)下，他們能繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)，繼續(xù)通過干許多一樣復(fù)雜的工作而獲得多樣性?！?/p>

22.customercustomer解析：從這個句子的賓語“…thatheorshehasdoneagoodjobofchoosingtheitems．”可以看出，這里說的是顧客的行為，他們認(rèn)為自己買這些商品是很理性的。故答案為customer。

23.withoutwithout解析：此處意為年輕人更喜歡沒有重大責(zé)任的簡單工作。所以此處應(yīng)填“without”。

24.threatenthreaten解析：由33題解析可以知道此空一定為“威脅”之意。

25.towardtoward解析：作者要表達的意思是“我怎么才能對別人誠實。”英語中表達“對某人…”一般是用介詞toward。故答案為toward。

26.B解析：B中提到“TheaccoladeofwinningtheSchoolsCurriculumAwardin1997gaveEdgehillnationalrecognitionand，recently，…”。

27.D解析：這是一個通篇的中心歸納的考察題。文章一開始就指出“Beforeabigexam,asoundnight’ssleepwilldoyoubetterthanporingovertextbooks.”意思是在晚上好好的睡覺對記憶是有好處的。最后作者有歸納了研究的結(jié)果，“…concludedthatthenerveconnectionsinvolvedinmemoryarereinforcedthroughreactivationduringREMsl

28.B解析：本文第一句提到“TodayTVaudiencesallovertheworldareaccustomedtothesightofAmericanastronautsintip-topcondition,withfairhair,crew-cuts,goodteethand…”。

29.D解析：由第二段最后一句“InNewYork，Comstat'sstatisticalmapsareanalyzedeachweekatameetingofthecity’spolicechiefandprecinctcaptains．”可知。

30.EE解析：由上一段中提到的“…whengeneticallymixedwithawildstrainofmushroom…”可知，只有E放在此處才能使上下段銜接，意思連貫。

31.C解析：由C中的howitworks中的第一條“Thiswasoriginallydevelopedinordertoprovideelectricityforsatellites…．．”可知答案為C。

32.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(yīng)選C。

33.B解析：從文章的第三段可以看出，“Homepricesareholdingsteadyinmostregions.”作者在這一段主要說明房子等不動產(chǎn)的價格、利潤等方面，所以“the$4millionto$10millionrange”說的是不動產(chǎn)。故應(yīng)選B。

34.D解析：原文對應(yīng)信息是：“Eagertoboosttheirmagazinerankings，whicharebasedinp
