15.Aforeignaccent

16.foundfound解析：此句意為“1，000名受訪者中有70％的發(fā)現(xiàn)，相對于其他設(shè)備來說，在使用手機(jī)時人們表現(xiàn)出最差的禮儀”，所以答案為“found”。

17.dodo解析：分析見上題。故答案為do。

18.importantimportant解析：從本句后面的一句話可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson就算是重要的人物，他們也不會把這種顯赫寫在臉上。所以前面應(yīng)填important。故答案為important。

19.withwith解析：根據(jù)對等關(guān)系，這里應(yīng)該與后面的部分“apersonwithagoodunderstanding”相對應(yīng)。意思是“那些腳踏實地的人往往是那些很了解現(xiàn)實的人?！惫蚀鸢笧閣ith。

20.atat解析：某大學(xué)的教授，應(yīng)為“aprofessorat…university”，所以答案為介詞“at”。

21.werewere解析：考查被動語態(tài)的用法，注意分析句子成分。所以此處應(yīng)填“were”。

22.rationalrational解析：從文章的后面可以知道，顧客們已經(jīng)要結(jié)算了，認(rèn)為都買了該買的商品。但是售貨員在他們等著付賬的過程中巧妙的利用顧客們的購物沖動向他們推銷，而不是理性購物。故答案為rational。

23.lessless解析：由此空前面的“deterioratedsharply”可知此空應(yīng)填“更少的”，而不是“更多的”。

24.onon解析：focuson意為“集中于”，為固定短語。

25.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。

26.D解析：由短文第二段中的“…showedthatthosewithnormalbloodpressureunderwentnochangeatallwhenplacedonanextremelylow—saltdiet，…”可知。

27.B解析：由第四段第二句“Thegovernmentestimatesthat95millionpeoplestillqualifyforshotsunderthevoluntaryrestrictionsannouncedlastweek．”中可以知道大約有九千五百萬人有資格注射疫苗。根據(jù)第四段第三句：“That'snearlytwicethenumberofdosesthatclinicswillhaveonhand，butonly60millio

28.FF解析：后面的一段說明了相反的情況。“Thepersonwearingtheglasses…”與選項中的“…twopeoplewearsdarkglasses”相對應(yīng)，故應(yīng)選F。

29.B解析：由第四段中的“Thehorsesarelessaffectedthanamanwouldbe，andwhentheelectriceelshaveexhaustedthemselves，theycanbecaughtwithoutdanger．”可知。

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

31.C解析：越來越多的人贊成Stiglitz的觀點，批評自由貿(mào)易和全球化，從“Suchclaimsarenolongereredible，forStiglitzispartofasmallbutgrowinggroupofeconomists，sociologistsandpoliticalscientists…”growing一詞可以看出答案。所以本題應(yīng)選C。

32.A解析：由第三段中所舉的GTE的例子可知“efficienttechnologyiscost-effective”。

33.BB解析：該空缺下面的段落都是對每一個“myth”的揭示。誰來揭示呢?B項中提到牛津大學(xué)老齡化研究中心成立各個問題研究組。

34.A解析：文章的主要目的是什么?短文介紹科學(xué)家在有關(guān)大腦結(jié)構(gòu)方面的研究成果。B、C、D只是片面上的。所以本題應(yīng)選A。

35.B解析：由B中的后面部分“Themostimportantconstructions…HeavenKitchen，…othersofhistoricinterestandscenicbeauty?！笨芍?/p>

36.D解析：由D中的第三段第二句話“CaliforniaisaleadingstateintheproductionofelectronicproductsandtheareaofLosAngeleshasgrownintoanimportantelectroniccenter．”可知答案為D.

37.C解析：由第一段可知NAAFA認(rèn)為肥胖無害，故A項是錯誤的。B項文章中未提到。第一段倒數(shù)第二句話說到基因決定人的胖瘦，故C項是正確的。NAAFA只是認(rèn)肥胖對人體無害，并沒有說有好處，故D項是錯誤的。

38.A解析：由A中的第一段最后一句話“Atpresent,thePalaceisanelaboratemuseumthatpresentsthelargestandmostcompleteensembleoftraditionalarchitecture…”可知。

39.D解析：由本文第二段可知A、B、C均正確，只有D不對。

40.C解析：由第一段可知，這張卡片是送報人的，我們被暗示：要填好卡片投遞，當(dāng)你的服務(wù)在凌晨四點就被奉上時，你不能若無其事，你必須要直接點，他想要的是假期小費。因此正確答
