13.D

14.A

15.A

16.andand解析：這三個分詞短語是并列的，故中間的連詞只能用and。

17.inin解析：inturn意為“轉而，反過來”，此句意為“給他們講明這些小成功成為建立聲譽的基礎，而且從這些小成功開始更重要的任務才能被完成?！?。

18.therebythereby解析：本句句意為“我們也正在污染海洋，殺死了魚類，…剝奪了我們那無價的食物供應?！憋@然，此空前后為因果關系，而且depriving前不能用so或其他表因果關系的連詞，而只能用介詞thereby。

19.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。所以前面應填important。故答案為important.

20.displaydisplay解析：這里要回應本段第一句話中的“displayed”。在出口結算處展示的這些小商品無疑是一種誘惑。這里需要用名詞形式。放答案為display。

21.likelylikely解析：前面所說的thepersonwhoisdown-to-earth與thepersonwhosebothfeetontheground大體是一類人，所以這里表達的意思是“很有可能就是一類人”。belikelytodo就表達了這種意思。故答案為likely。

22.withwith解析：根據對等關系，這里應該與后面的部分“apersonwithagoodunderstanding”相對應。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。

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

24.acrossacross解析：getacross意為“使(觀點等)被理解或接受，講清自己的意思”，此句意為“給他們講清巨大的成功不會輕易、快速地到來很重要。”

25.whowho解析：此空后的句子應為teacher的定語從句，故此空處應填who，引導修飾人的定語從句。

26.C解析：文章第三段指出“ItisfarmoredifficultforAmericanstoacceptsharedsacrificeforthecommongoodandwell—beingoftheentirecountry．”，接著作者給出一個例子，證明美國人不會為了國家的利益而放棄個人的利益。故應選C。

27.A解析：由A中的第二段“…toillustratehowenvironmentalqualitycanbeincludedformallyinmeasuresofnationalincome
