15.Juniorcolleges/non-degreeprograms.

16.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>

17.dodo解析:分析見上題。故答案為do。

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(jià)的食物供應(yīng)?!憋@然,此空前后為因果關(guān)系,而且depriving前不能用so或其他表因果關(guān)系的連詞,而只能用介詞thereby。

19.onon解析:此題也考查介詞的用法,在電話中交談,一般用onthephone。所以此處應(yīng)填介詞“on”。

20.alsoalso解析:由35題解析,拼寫有問題的學(xué)生必定握筆習(xí)慣不好。

21.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(shí),現(xiàn)實(shí)、平易近人的那些人。這里的someone和后面是相對(duì)應(yīng)的。故答案為someone。

22.suchsuch解析:“poorposture,leaningtoo…tothedesk,using…”均是對(duì)characteristics的舉例說明,而舉例用英語說應(yīng)為“suchas”。

23.gripgrip解析:顯然,此空應(yīng)填一個(gè)
