14.Borntrained．

15.A

16.AsAs解析：此句意为“…后一种观点的例子，…”显然，空处应填“作为”。

17.byby解析：由日本政府收集的数据。考查被动语态的用法，“由…”用介词“by”。所以此处应填“by”。

18.nono解析：本句话的意思是“那些趾高气扬的人不可能是那些平易近人的人”。这是否定的意思，故答案为no。

19.whatwhat解析：这句话的意思是“这就是商家和卖者希望顾客们做的事情”，what引导的是一个表语从句，故答案为what。

20.oppositeopposite解析：从文章第二段的内容可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson和那些表面上装的很重要的人物正好相反。所以这里应填“相反的”，故答案为opposite。

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.drinkingdrinking解析：由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质倒入河流和湖泊，我们已经污染了我们的…水。”显然，此空处应为“饮用”。

23.referencereference解析：这三个分词短语意为“执行日常运算、挖掘…材料、操作再生产设备”。显然，“参考材料”最合适。

24.someonesomeone解析：由本文的第一句话“‘Down-to-earth’meanssomeoneorsomethingthatishonest．realisticandeasytodealwith．”可知“Down-to-earth”指的是诚实，现实、平易近人的那些人。这里的someone和后面是相对应的。故答案为someone。

25.whosewhose解析：这是一个后置定语从句，用whose来引导，表示mind与dreamer的所属关系。故答案为whose。

26.D解析：第四段提到基因疗法遭受的一起挫折——一个病人因接受基因疗法而死亡；接着讲专家担心运动员利用基因在比赛中作弊会进一步tarnish这一领域，从上下文逻辑推理，应该是“有损，玷污”这一类的意思，因此正确答案为D。

27.C解析：由C中的第二段“ThispartrepresentsthetensionsbetweenAmericaandFrance．”可知。

28.A解析：文章第三段提到“TheAmericanideaofthenationalgoodhasneverbeenbasedonnationalcooperationbutratheronthefreedomoftheindividual,…．”这说明美国的国家利益不是建立在全民合作基础之上的，相反，这种基础是个人的自由。故应选A。

29.BB解析：由下一段第—句“Thepoker-lovingLouis-Dreyfusknew…”可知此空处填B最合适，因为“Louis-Dreyfus，scionof…”必定在下一段之前逻辑上才讲得通。

30.C解析：这个题考察的是对后面几段的归纳。首先在第三段开始“Dr．MaquetusedanelectronicdevicecalledPET…theypracticedataskduringtheday，andastheysleptduringthefollowingnight．”这是一种对比性的研究方法。后来的第四段最后“…theirresponsetimeswhentheywokeupwereevenqui
