参考答案

1.costlesscostless解析：本题空白处问“关于Xu的耶鲁大学实验室的细节信息，是什么使得该实验室富有竞争性。”根据题干关键词“Xu'sYaleLab"定位在文章第六段，该段讲述的是“美国大学科研工作的全球化”。看本段最后一句，题干中的"competitive"是对原文中"productive"的同义转述。空白处应填写与原文"lowercost"相对应的动词形式。而"cost"作为动词时要跟"more"或"less"作宾语来表示花费的多或少。因此，答案为costless。

2.D解析：由文章第三段第一句“Ifloatedtheideaofattendingcollegetomycoworkersandsuperiorsandtheresponsewasmostlynegative．”可见，当听说他的决定的时候，他的同事们大多持否定态度。故本题正确答案为D项。

3.B解析：根据题干关键词NikeandWalmart，inthe1990s定位到第五段第三句：Inthe1990s,companieslikeNikeandWalmartwereattackedfordiscriminatoryandunfairlaborpractices,可知，在20世纪90年代，像耐克和沃尔玛之类的公司因为歧视和不公正的劳工措施而受到攻击，故选B)项。

4.showtheoppositeshowtheopposite解析：根据题干中的信息词models、morewarming和datasets定位到倒数第二个小标题下的倒数第二段，可知多数现有的数据都表明表面的变暖要多于对流层中的变暖，而大部分模型的预测结果则与此相反，由此可得答案。

5.socialfailuresocialfailure解析：本题涉及集体主义者和个人主义者对冲突的不同看法。小标题ComfortwithConflict下为答案出处，该部分首段第二句Collectivists…‘face’seeconflictasasignofsocialfailure表明，集体主义者把冲突视为社会失败的标志。

6.B解析：在第3段中．是说把日常生活分成两个方面：工作和娱乐，就像白天和黑夜那样分明。

7.aircirculationaircirculation解析：参见本文第8段第1句：“Thespherical(球形的)structureofadomeis...efficientinterioratmospheres...becauseairandenergyareallowedtocirculatewithoutobstruction.”

8.trustworthinesstrustworthiness解析：题干中的moreofGoogle'sprocessesandplansareinspectedpreciously是对原文openingupmoreofitsprocessesandplanstoscrutiny的同义转述。原文中提到allayconcernsoverGoogle'strustworthiness“减少人们对谷歌可信度的忧虑”，反过来说就是“提高谷歌的可信度”。所以，空格处应填入trustworthiness。

9.D解析：根据题干信息词man-madechemicals和affected定位到第一个小标题下第二段末句。即：受人造化学制品影响的种类包括北极熊、从鱼到哺乳动物的生物链，也包括人，原文未提到鸟，故选D。

10.keepdrinkscoldkeepdrinkscold解析：定位到小标题AbsoluteIceBar下。末句：NewlyinventeddrinksbasedonLaplandicblueberryjuicewillbeservedoutofspeciallydesignedglasses.Theyaremadeofice，naturally，sothere'snoneedforicecubes!(根据蓝莓汁新研制的饮料将用特殊设计的杯子呈给客人。这些杯子是冰制的，当然，就不再需要冰块儿了。)此题需要根据原文意思总结出答案。

11.D解析：由题干中treasuredbooks可定位到第二个小标题下首段末句...buyglasscases，whichmightbepreferableifyourcollectionincludesantiquebooksthatyouwanttopreserve，原句中的antiquebooks是题干中treasuredbooks的一种。根据该句可知，古书之类的珍贵书应该用下班书架保存。因此D)为正确答案。

12.B解析：同义转述题。题干问何时应为参加thenewerSATII'sAmericanhistory的最佳时期。根据原文可知，该考试最好是在课程结
