13.Four．

14.C

15.B

16.ofof解析：deprivesb．ofsth．为固定短语，意为“剥夺某人的某东西(或某权利)”。

17.thatthat解析：参见32题解析，idea与bigachievementsrarelycomeeasilyandquickly是同位语，故此空应填that，引导同位语从句。

18.fromfrom解析：“来自…的数据”，要用介词“from”。所以此处应填“from”。

19.somesome解析：关键是注意and前后一致。“somerationaland…emotional”，前面说促使顾客购买的动机有很多，有的是理性的，有的却是冲动。所以这里应该是some。故答案为some。

20.stillstill解析：本句意为“但是空气污染，尽管它…是最危险的，但也只是几种攻击最基本生活功能的污染方式之一。”显然，可知此空应填“仍然”。

21.dodo解析：答案为do。

22.onon解析：此题也考查介词的用法，在电话中交谈，一般用onthephone。所以此处应填介词“on”。

23.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。”。

24.dodo解析：分析见上题。故答案为do。

25.withwith解析：根据对等关系，这里应该与后面的部分“apersonwithagoodunderstanding”相对应。意思是“那些脚踏实地的人往往是那些很了解现实的人。”故答案为with。

26.C解析：由短文第一段中的“Smithnoted，‘Betweentheamoutofsodiumapersonconsumesandheartdisease，circulatorydisorders，strokeandevenearlydeath．’”可知。

27.A解析：由第三段中所举的GTE的例子可知“efficienttechnologyiscost-effective”。

28.D解析：“bitingone’snails”的意思是“一筹莫展”，通过后面的表述，“mostofherclientsspend$12to$50weekly，…”可以看出Spero并不是到了没有顾客的地步，只是越来越少，所以他并没有到达绝望的处境。故应选D。

29.CC解析：文章的第一段说“Welookatthemlongenoughto,makeitquiteclearthatweseeth
