14.South(and)EastAsia/S(+)EAsia/(NOTSouth-eastAsia)．South(and)EastAsia/S(+)EAsia/(NOTSouth-eastAsia)．

15.Providesgoods/servicework．

16.oftenoften解析：本句话的意思是“那些自我感觉很了不起、内心充满骄傲的人，总是不需要理由的就被人认为是趾高气扬的人。”故这里答案为often。

17.thatthat解析：此空之后的内容为suggests的内容，即此处应填that，引导宾语从句。

18.callscalls解析：此句意为“他把这种缺乏礼节的行为称作是一种无意识的无礼”。call+双宾语结构，以为“把…称为”，所以此处填“calls”。

19.andand解析：“both…and…”为固定搭配，“两者都”。所以此处应填“and”。

20.WhenWhen解析：这里的一句话其实与下一半句“whenwearedown-to-earth，…”所起到的作用是一样的，同时两者也是并列的，when表达了“当…”，所以这里填when。故答案为when。

21.complycomply解析：此处句意为“他们会很懊恼的服从”，表示服从，遵从的短语是complywith。所以此处应填“comply”。

22.inin解析：inturn意为“转而，反过来”，此句意为“给他们讲明这些小成功成为建立声誉的基础，而且从这些小成功开始更重要的任务才能被完成。”。

23.someonesomeone解析：由本文的第一句话“‘Down-to-earth’meanssomeoneorsomethingthatishonest，realisticandeasytodealwith.”可知“Down-to-earth”指的是诚实，现实、平易近人的那些人。这里的someone和后面是相对应的。故答案为someone。

24.referencereference解析：这三个分词短语意为“执行日常运算、挖掘…材料、操作再生产设备”。显然，“参考材料”最合适。

25.outout解析：handout意为“分发，施舍”，为固定短语。

26.AA解析：只有A放在此处才能与上一段意思连贯。

27.D解析：由D中Smithadds，“Investment-wise，King’sCrossisagoodbet．Thereisabigrentalmarkethereandpriceswillgoup．Therearestillcheaperpropertiesavailable，onetotwobedroomflatsinVictorianconversions，orex—councilproperties．Butpeopleareholdingontothemfordearfifeinthehopetheywillgoupinvalue．Ifyoufindone，itisworthinvestingin．”可以看出在King’sCross投资将会物有所值。所以此处答案为D。

28.A解析：由本文倒数第二段可知，B、C、D均正确，只有A不对。

29.B解析：由短文第二段中的“Differentkindsoftaxeshelptospreadthetaxburden…Thatiswhythethreelevelsofgovernmentinthiscountry…thisspreadstheburdenoftaxesamongmorepeople．”。

30.C解析：由C中的第一段最后一句话“Thissourcebook…andprovidespolicyadvice，includingthe
