参考答案

1.stressstress解析：由题干关键词inclinetoputonmostweight定位到第五个小标题下第一段最后一句。专家们指出处于极大压力状态下的人们倾向于增长最多的体重。

2.creationscreations解析：见第十五段第一句话。

3.unaware

4.menonlymenonly解析：由“ThePronounProblem”部分第三段第二句“Studieshaveconfirmedthatmostpeopleunderstand‘he’torefertomenonly．”可见人们看到代词“he”想到的只是男性。故此题答案为“menonly”。

5.haveanadvantageoverhaveanadvantageover解析：在本文的第二大部分(Bone—BuildingFoods)的最后一句话中说到：如果你发现你食物中很难包含足够的钙质，那么就向你的医生咨询补充品；如果你依赖补充品(取代饱含钙质的饮食)，那就不能得益于该食物所提供的其他营养。

6.C解析：细节题。根据题干信息词Antipollutionlegislation定位到第六个小标题第二句Withoutthecontinuedpressurefromenvironmentalists，antipollutionlegislationwouldnothavebeenenacted，andmanypollution-reducingdeviceswouldnothavebeeninvented，即：没有来自环境学家的压力，反污染规则不会被实行，许多减少污染的工具

7.A解析：第3句提到了EmekBasket的研究主要针对Americancounty，可见，本题应选A。

8.B解析：第一句开头就表明，该段讲述的是Joost弃用那些商业模式的原因(reason)，第一句中的表语从句描述了原因：那些商业模式与多数人喜欢的简简单单看电视的体验不大相干(nonehasmuchtodowith…)，故答案为[B]，areirrelatedwith对应原文中的nonehasmuchtodowith。注意其中否定词的对应关系，原文中是none，选项中是前缀ir-。

9.C解析：“TheBirthofMultitasking”小节部分的第1段只提到“telegraphoperation”是最早出现的压力大、时间紧的信息技术工作，并未将其与“computeroperation”相比较。

10.A解析：题干中的disintegrated和文章中的collapse具有相同的意思；文章中的becreatedto和题干中的initiatedto属于同义词；文章中的offset和题干中的counterweigh都有“抵消，平衡”的意思；分析文章可知，newproducts指的就是suchas所引入的部分，即variousbasketi
