14.Behavioralmanagement

15.B

16.happinesshappiness解析：根據(jù)上下文，日本年輕人更看重追求個人的幸福。所以此處應(yīng)填“happiness”。

17.sellingselling解析：關(guān)鍵是看and后面的buying。本句話的意思是“商家分析市場的供需情況。”故答案為selling。

18.butbut解析：此句意為“30歲的人表現(xiàn)出非常不同的握筆方式，…超過40歲的人都統(tǒng)一用三個手指握筆?！憋@然，此空處表轉(zhuǎn)折。

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

20.toto解析：“incontrastto”為固定搭配，意為“與…相對比”。所以此處應(yīng)填“to”。

21.dodo解析：解析見上題，為了避免與前面的know重復(fù)，這里可以換做do。故答案為do。

22.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”。

23.worseworse解析：“the+比較級，the+比較級”，意為“越…越…，”根據(jù)上下文，本句句意為“身邊的小玩意兒越多，事情似乎就會變得越糟糕?！彼源颂帒?yīng)填“worse”。

24.itit解析：本句意為“‘污染’意思是弄臟——表層土或什么東西，通過引進(jìn)雜質(zhì)，這使…不健康或不干凈?！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)指topsoilorsomething，因為前面已出現(xiàn)，所以用it來代替。

25.someonesomeone解析：由本文的第一句話“‘Down-to-earth’meanssomeoneorsomethingthatishonest．realisticandeasytodealwith．”可知“Down-to-earth”指的是誠實，現(xiàn)實、平易近人的那些人。這里的someone和后面是相對應(yīng)的。故答案為someone。

26.A解析：由A中的第一段“Thepopulationofthecityisabout800,000anditcoversanareaofover69squaremiles．”可知答案為A。

27.B解析：由第一段的“Insteadofbeseechingusalltogetvaccinated，they’renowurgingmosthealthypeoplebetweentheagesof2and64,notto．”可以判斷出美國之呼吁2至64歲的健康人不接種流感疫苗，而不是所有的美國人，因此答案A是錯誤的。從第二段最后一句話可以看出疫苗生產(chǎn)廠家無法臨時增加疫苗生產(chǎn)不是由于他們不愿意，而是由于受精雞蛋的生產(chǎn)已經(jīng)預(yù)先計劃好，無法提供更多的受精雞蛋，由此可見答案C是錯誤的。從第三段第三行“Fluvaccinesareharderthanmosttoproducethisway”可以判斷出答案D是錯誤的，因為流感疫苗比別的疫苗更難用細(xì)菌培育的方式生產(chǎn)。而由第三段第2-3行“Themainchallengeistoshiftproductionfromeggsintocellcultures——amediumalreadyusedtomakemostothervaccines．”以及上一句可見，改造疫苗生產(chǎn)工藝的關(guān)鍵在于革新病毒培育技術(shù)。因此正確答案為B。

28.C解析：文中第一段提到“Butsuchbehavioralstudiescannotdistinguishbetweentwocompetingtheoriesofwhysleepisgoodforthe
