参考答案

1.Afamily'sname

2.C

3.A

4.B

5.D

6.C

7.B

8.Thepasttype/past-orientedpeople

9.Behavioralmanagement

10.Aforeignaccent．

11.A

12.A

13.Racialequality

14.C

15.A

16.butbut解析：这里表达的前后句意是一种转折关系。前面说“hemayhavedreams．”而后面“hedoesnotallowthemtoblockhisknowledge…”的意思却是“但是他也不会让这些梦想阻挡自己对什么是现实的理解。”故答案为but。

17.alsoalso解析：由35题解析，拼写有问题的学生必定握笔习惯不好。

18.whatwhat解析：显然，此空后的句子应为"obscure”的宾语从句，而“isbeingwritten”中缺主语，可做主句的宾语、从句的主语的只有what。

19.suchsuch解析：“poorposture，leaningtoo…tothedesk，using…”均是对characteristics的举例说明，而举例用英语说应为“suchas”。

20.olderolder解析：grow只能是年龄越来越大。

21.thosethose解析：文章中提到“16-19岁之间的日本青年跟25-29岁之间的青年对比”，这里缺少代词，替代“Japaneseyouth”。所以此处应填“those”

22.toto解析：“shift”意为“转变”，“从…到…的转变”应该用介词“to”。所以此处应填“to”。

23.rationalrational解析：从文章的后面可以知道，顾客们已经要结算了，认为都买了该买的商品。但是售货员在他们等着付账的过程中巧妙的利用顾客们的购物冲动向他们推销，而不是理性购物。故答案为rational。

24.purposepurpose解析：从文中的第一句话“Themostobviouspurpose…”可以看出后面还有别的目的，而不是仅仅有最明显的目的。故答案为purpose。

25.useuse解析：后面的一句话“Theexpressionis‘both-feet-on-the-ground.”表示down-to-earth的另一种表达方法是both-feet-on-the-ground。而后一种说法是美国人的用法，常常被美国人使用。故答案为use。

26.B解析：由B中“BarnessitsjustacrosstheriverfromHammersmithinsouthwestLondon，butitcouldnotbemoredifferentfromthenoiseandbustleoftheoppositebank．”可以看出Barnes与其对岸喧嚣吵闹的城市完全不同。所以此处答案为B。

27.D解析：deforestation意为“滥伐森林”。

28.C解析：越来越多的人赞成Stiglitz的观点，批评自由贸易和全球化，从“Suchclaimsarenolongercredible，forStiglitzispartofasmallbutgrowinggroupofeconomists，sociologistsandpoliticalscientists…”growing一词可以看出答案。所以本题应选C。

29.A解析：“这些区别”指的是什么?短文第五段主题句说“Butitisn’tallthateasytoexplaintheactualdifferencesbetweenskillsofmenandwomenonthisbasis．”即在此基础上解释两性技能的区别并不是很容易的事。由此可见，“这些区别”指的是两性技能。所以本题应选A。

30.C解析：由第二段最后一句“Toreceiveareturnontheirinvestment，wisecorporateexecutiveofficersarerealizingwhatindustrialistsandagriculturistslearnedlongago—efficienttoolsareessentialforincreasedproductivity．”可知。

31.A解析：由A中最后一句“TheCollegehasanationalreputationforthequalityofitsdyslexiaprovision．”可知。

32.B解析：文章最后一段第二句话“Competitionsometimesencouragesfeelingsofsuspicionratherthanthemut
