11.【答案】【小题1】wastreated【小题2】Driven【小题3】who/that【解析】1.

句意：当凯莉接受澳大利亚顶尖的孤独问题科学专家MichelleLim博士的治疗时，她谈到了自己的生活。结合主句谓语talked用一般过去时可知，从句主语Kylie和从句谓语动词treat是被动关系，treat用一般过去时的被动语态；从句主语Kylie，从句谓语单数形式，故填wastreated。

2.

句意：在两个孩子和一家公司的驱使下，她觉得没有人理解她的挣扎。主句已有谓语felt且无连词，动词drive用非谓语形式，逻辑主语she与动词drive是被动关系，应用动词的-ed形式作状语。句首单词的首字母需大写。故填Driven。

3.

句意：但她发现孤独不仅仅发生在被孤立的人身上。该空引导限制性定语从句，先行词是people，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，用关系代词who/that。故填who/that。

12.【答案】【小题1】marks【小题2】with【小题3】tochoose【解析】1.

句意：学习是一种相对持久的行为变化，它标志着知识、技能或理解的增加，这得益于记录的记忆。分析句子可知，该句是定语从句，从句中缺少谓语，that指代先行词behaviour，先行词是单数形式，为保证主谓一致，从句中谓语也要使用单数形式。故填marks。

2.

句意：如果你能把新信息和之前的知识联系起来，你就能更好地记住新信息。分析句子可知，空处是固定短语associatewith，意为“联合；与……联系在一起”。故填with。

3.

13.【答案】【小题1】fewer【小题2】performance【小题3】but或while【小题4】areshocked【解析】1.

句意：在一项研究中，事先适度练习这门虚构语言的受试者比过度或不练习的受试者犯错更少。根据“moderately”及其反义词“notatall”可知，“中度地”练习比“不练习”或“过度练习”时犯的错误更少，结合空后than可知空处应为比较级，故填fewer。

2.

句意：高自觉性与较差的工作表现有关，尤其是在那些追求完美主义无法获得好处的简
