13.B

14.A

15.C

16.sellingselling解析：关键是看and后面的buying。本句话的意思是“商家分析市场的供需情况。”故答案为selling。

17.whichwhich解析：由此句句子成分分析，此空以后的应为定语从句，修饰characteristics，所以此空应填which，引导定语从句。

18.asas解析：此处为因果关系，意为“因为许多人没有…”，因此此处应填填连词“as”。

19.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”。

20.betweenbetween解析：此句意为“Thomas先生尽管不能在握笔方式和拼写准确性之间建立重要的统计学联系，…”所以答案为介词between。

21.werewere解析：考查被动语态的用法，注意分析句子成分。所以此处应填“were”。

22.atat解析：此题考固定搭配，atone'sdisposal，意为“任某人自由支配、使唤”。所以此处应填介词“at”。

23.personperson解析：本句话的意思是“与此相反的一类人是那些想入非非的人。”根据上下文的要求这里应该填入man的同义词。故答案为person。

24.againstagainst解析：guardagainst意为“防止，防范，警惕”，为固定短语，against也可以省略。

25.accordingaccording解析：accordingto为“依据”，为固定短语，意为国的民意调查”。所以此处填according。

26.D解析：此题问技术员的回答如何。文章中“ButIdoneedit．”“Yes．butyoudon’thaveit．”Wewentonlikethisforawhile．Finally，heofferedtowalkmethrough…可以看出“技术员最后是在敷衍作者，没有提出一个合理的解决办法”。所以本题应选D。

27.C解析：由C中的第二段“Itisnowconsideredthecenterofindustry，transportation，commerceandfinanceinthemid-westarea．”可知答案为C。

28.A解析：原文对应信息是：“Even…Tallyadmitsit’salittlescary，especiallysinceshe’llretireandKatiewillgotocollegeataroundthesametime．”意为“面临自己将要退休，同时孩子要上大学，这确实有点令人害怕。”我们可知Tally对支付自己女儿的学费有点害怕。B、C、D均不是作者想要表达的原因。所以本题应选A。

29.A解析：由A中的第一段“Washington，thecapitaloftheUnitedStates，isinWashingtonD.C.”可知答案为A。

30.A解析：书评一中“Stiglitzargues，what'sneededtomakeglobalizationworkbetterismoreandsmartergovernmentintervention．”这句话我们可以看出。所以本题应选A。

31.B解析：从第五段中描述到，看到装着支票的信封没有了，但是垃圾还在，所以作者的丈夫怀疑信封是被别人偷走了，立马就通知银行作废了这张支票。所以Mickey最终还是没有从银行中取走钱。因此正确答案为B。

32.B解析：第三段中Dr．Laragh提到“…所以建议所有人应该少吃盐没有意义。”可以推知，他的言下之意是“医生不应建议人们不吃盐”。

33.D解析：这是一个通篇的中心归纳的考察题。文章一开始就指出“Beforeabigexam,asoundnight’ssleepwilldoyoubetterthanporingovertextbooks.”意思是在晚上好好的睡觉对记忆是有好处的。最后作者有归纳了
