参考答案

1.pre-exposureprophylaxispre-exposureprophylaxis解析：本题涉及到艾滋病的传播方式．从而将答案出处定位到文章第八段。该段第二句提到Drugsforpre-exposureprophylaxis...HIVhavethesameeffectinprotectingpartners。由此可知本题应填入pre-exposureprophylaxis。

2.Merchandise

3.A解析：分析判断题。本文作者并不是一开始就知道“签订合同，讨价还价”等等这些谋生的道理。但是在经历了种种挫折以后，他逐渐聪明和成熟起来：他学会了谈判，学会了讲价钱，学会了签订合同，为自己争取到了应得的合理合法的可观收入。这难道不是“吃一堑，长一智”吗?

4.quicklymoveinlandortohighergroundquicklymoveinlandortohigherground解析：空白处应为名词(词组)，意为与earthquake并列的预示海啸即将发生的预兆。原文该部分第1点和第3点分别指出了两个预示海啸即将发生的预兆，其中earthquake在第1点提到，第3点中的herald与题目中的signal都有“预示”的意思，因此，第3点提到的riseorfallofcoastalwaters为本题答案。

5.C解析：全文没有关于基因药品是否更新更贵的说法，因此是NG。

6.1010解析：由题干中的amplitude和level定位到第五个小标题下第2段末句Thatis，thewaveamplitudeinalevel6earthquake...alevel9earthquake．此处需填入数词性成分，基于Richterscale的数字是按10倍增长的，文中所述6级地震波振幅比5级地震增加10倍，同样从7级地震到9级地震其幅度增加100倍，因此很容易得出本题结论。

7.socialconnectionssocialconnections解析：空白处需要名词性成分。根据原文，人际理论强调社会交流对精神健康的重要性而题目把原文反过来说，因此without后需填入的是原文强调的部分，故答案为socialconnections。

8.scholarsscientistsandartistsscholars，scientists，andartists解析：空白处应为名词(词组)。原文该段末尾的whorepresentitshighculturaltraditions中的who指的是末句开头提到的ManyofthemostoutstandingChineseAmericanscholars，scientists，andartists，题目将段末的定语从句改写为被动语态，所以who所指的内容就是本题答案，即scholars，scientistsandartists。

9.C解析：综合判断题。尽管在本文的第九段中提到伊朗和恐怖组织联手对付美国的情况，但是，综观全文，我们却看不到“本文作者建议采取措施来促使恐怖组织分裂为敌对的两派”的信息。因此，本小题的答案为“NG”。

10.improvementsinmedicaltechnologyimprovementsinmedicaltechnology解析：本题定位词是healthservices，是服务行业的具体内容，从而锁定GoodsVsServices部分的EmploymentTrendsinServiceIndustries。该部分第一段就是与此相关的信息。从"Theincreaseddemandforhealthservicesisduetoimprovementsinmedicaltechnology，thegrowingsizeoftheU．S．population，andtheincreasingpr
