9.A

10.C

12.Civil．

13.D

14.Asindividuals．

15.Totakeinformation．

16.pollpoll解析：此句意为“Synovate市场研发公司的调查显示”，poll的意思为“民意调查”。因此答案为“poll”。

17.worseworse解析：“the+比较级，the+比较级”，意为“越…越…，”根据上下文，本句句意为“身边的小玩意儿越多，事情似乎就会变得越糟糕。”所以此处应填“worse”。

18.thatthat解析：此空后的内容为maintain的内容，即此空后的句子为maintain的宾语，应填一个可引导宾语从句的词。

19.amongamong解析：此句意为“后一种观点得到了许多支持者，尤其…教育家。”显然，空处应填“在…中”，介词among即有此意。

20.dodo解析：分析见上题。故答案为do。

21.onon解析：dependenceon意为“依赖，依靠”，是固定短语。

22.lookinglooking解析：与介词for的固定搭配，意为“寻求…”，这里指的是寻求新的价值观。所以此处应填“looking”。

23.byby解析：此空所在短句意为“报酬经常毁掉创造性，…鼓励依赖他人的认可和礼物。”显然，空处应填“通过”，在英语中介词by即可表达此意。

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

25.thatthat解析：此空后面的句子为suggesting的内容，即应为其宾语从句，所以此空处应填引导宾语从句的词，即that。

26.A解析：文中提到“…urgedcautioninensuringthateffortstoprotectournationdonotresultinbroadgovernmentauthoritytoerodeprivacyrightsofU．S．citizens．”其意思是“保护国家的利益也不应该伤害美国居民的个人隐私权利”，可知作者认为这项提议是不公正的。故应选A。

27.C解析：本文第二段中提到“…becausealltheastronautshavecontractswithanAmericanmagazineunderconditionsforbiddinganyunauthorizeddisclosuresabouttheirprivatelives.”

28.D解析：在第三段中女主人公意识到也许在四点的服务的原因是经过精心策划的而不是随意粗鲁的习惯，假期小费从随意的一句谢谢发展成为黑社会的保护勒索，所以作者是被迫的给假期小费的。因此正确答案为D。

29.C解析：由C中第三段第一句“Regularhighstandard
