參考答案

1.stressstress解析：由題干關(guān)鍵詞inclinetoputonmostweight定位到第五個(gè)小標(biāo)題下第一段最后一句。專家們指出處于極大壓力狀態(tài)下的人們傾向于增長(zhǎng)最多的體重。

2.biochemicalproblemsbiochemicalproblems解析：空白處需要名詞性成分。原文第2句的thistypeofdepression指的是首句中提到的人到中年因?yàn)樯碓蛎婊忌系囊钟舭Y；題目中的resultfrom和原文的iscausedby均表示因果關(guān)系，故答案在by之后。

3.economicgoodseconomicgoods解析：參見第四個(gè)小標(biāo)題下第三句話。

4.proudofhiscountryproudofhiscountry解析：空前的is表明，本空應(yīng)填一名詞(短語)或形容詞(短語)。第三句講述作者在帕勞過馬路的一個(gè)例子。第四句提到作者對(duì)此的看法：即使是過街這樣的小事也可以表達(dá)他對(duì)他的國(guó)家的驕傲。題干中的Theexampleofcrossingthestreet是對(duì)第三句所舉例子的概括總結(jié)，shows與第四句提到的tell…about對(duì)應(yīng)，故that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句應(yīng)該與hisprideinhiscountry對(duì)應(yīng)。因?yàn)閠hat從句是主系表結(jié)構(gòu)(themiddleschoolboyis…)，而文中是短語結(jié)構(gòu)(hisprideinhiscountry)，故對(duì)hisprideinhiscountry進(jìn)行同義轉(zhuǎn)化，即proudofhiscountry。

5.A解析：13—15段說到在土地使用的充分程度上有很大差別。

6.NN解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。在颶風(fēng)的風(fēng)眼，風(fēng)力最強(qiáng)。在characteristicsofhurricanes部分第一段提到eyewall周圍風(fēng)力最強(qiáng)，而在風(fēng)眼里幾乎風(fēng)平浪靜。

7.automatetheproductionprocessautomatetheproductionprocess解析：第3個(gè)小標(biāo)題ThePower部分的第4段第4句：Wal-Martpushedthemanufacturertolowertheprice，andLakewoodrespondedbyautomatingtheproductionprocess，whichmeantlayoffs空白處需要?jiǎng)釉~或動(dòng)詞短語。原文中的meant其實(shí)表示的是一種因果關(guān)系，這與題目空白后定語從句中的caused相同。題目要求填入Lakewood采取的措施，即原文by后面的內(nèi)容；但因?yàn)轭}目空白處前有hadto詞組，故需把動(dòng)名詞改為動(dòng)詞原形，答案為automatetheproductionprocess。

8.C解析：根據(jù)題干中的信息詞Internethoaxes定位到第一個(gè)小標(biāo)題，可知互聯(lián)網(wǎng)促進(jìn)了惡作劇的增多，該部分接著介紹了通過電子郵件騙人的把戲，但并沒有表明電子郵件惡作劇是惟一的網(wǎng)絡(luò)惡作劇形式。

9.A解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。一般來說，得了流感要完全康復(fù)至少需要14天。Symptomsanddiagnosis部分第一段最后指出流感的癥狀有些可能七八天就好了，但是像咳嗽或者疲倦需要兩三周。

10.A解析：概括題。題文為“事業(yè)的轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)可以決定生意成功與否”。題干的中心是事業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)的重要性。文中相關(guān)陳述是在第三段。其中提到：“一個(gè)人在生意中常會(huì)遇到某一關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)，此時(shí)采取什么樣的行動(dòng)會(huì)決定自己的事業(yè)是上升還是衰落。我們把這一關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)稱作事業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)”。因此，本題答案為[Y]。

11.newtypeofcommercenewtypeofcommerce解析：第7段的最后1句，當(dāng)你進(jìn)人一個(gè)圖書網(wǎng)址并找到了你在書店里永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)找到的一本毫無名氣的書，這才是一種新型的商業(yè)。

12.bacteria

13.Can'tCan't解析：見倒數(shù)第六段第一句話。

14.clearfraudpolicyclearfraudpolicy解析：該段首句前半句提到，在困難時(shí)期，員工的偷盜行為會(huì)有所上升，后半句when引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句中舉了兩個(gè)例子來說明：1．帶回家一卷衛(wèi)生紙；2．得到一張價(jià)值僅為20美元的免費(fèi)咖啡卡。由第三段首句中的比較級(jí)largercases可知第二段里的兩個(gè)例子是smallones，題干中的smallcasesoffraud是對(duì)這兩個(gè)例子的概括。題干中的Ms．Coenenadvices對(duì)應(yīng)原文中的Ms．Coenensuggests；whatbehavioursareunaccepted對(duì)應(yīng)what'sunacceptable，顯然writingaclearfraudpolicy即為答案出處?？涨盀閣itha提示，本空應(yīng)填一名詞(短語)，故答案為clearfraudpolicy。

15.D解析：本題涉及到美國(guó)有線電視的用戶數(shù)問題。該段末句提到，截止到二十世紀(jì)九十年代早期，美國(guó)的有線電視用戶數(shù)已經(jīng)接近一半，故答案為D項(xiàng)。

16.C解析：段落中心大意處設(shè)題。本題考查多產(chǎn)與個(gè)人發(fā)展的關(guān)系。根據(jù)原文第三個(gè)小標(biāo)題下內(nèi)容大意可知，該段主要陳述了多產(chǎn)的目的和方法，并未將該策略在個(gè)人發(fā)展中的重要性排列。題干說法在文中并未提及。

17.A解析：文章第二段指出“在人生的黃金時(shí)期有持續(xù)的空余時(shí)間事實(shí)上是一次獨(dú)特的機(jī)會(huì)，可以讓你專心從事志愿工作或繼續(xù)深造。”在后面的段落里作者分別舉例說明失業(yè)可以給人帶來其他方面的收獲。因此可以得出結(jié)論，失業(yè)并不完全是件壞事。
