参考答案

1.urbanvillagersurbanvillagers解析：信息来源为文章中的第9段。

2.scienceandmathteachersscienceandmathteachers解析：根据题干中的信息词mathandscienceliteracy和qualified定位到第二个小标题下的第二、三段，可知在2003年一项国际数学和理科水平调查中，美国四年级学生表现良好，但高中生却几乎排在最后，问题不在于学校的预算，而在于美国高中有许多数学和理科教师不够资格，由此可得答案。

3.microbicidesandARVsmicrobicidesandARVs解析：本题定位信息是Ramjee和combination，从而将答案出处定位到文章第六段。该段最后两句提到防止HIV病毒传播的最有效的方式是将microbicides和ARVs结合使用。故本题应填入microbicidesandARVs。

4.confidencecontrolorcommunityconfidence，controlorcommunity解析：根据关键词experiencenegativity查读小标题DiagnoseWorkplaceNegativity下面第一段第二句...negativityisoftentheresultofalossofconfidence，control，orcommunity．

5."horizontalaxisdesign"

6.advertisingrevenueadvertisingrevenue解析：此处需填入名词性成分。题目中的supply与原文中的provide属于同义转换，而produce与原文中的collect语义相近，故collect的宾语advertisingrevenue就是本题答案。

7.bodytemperatures

8.canbeeasilyassociatedwithyoupersonallycanbeeasilyassociatedwithyoupersonally解析：此处要求填入谓宾语成分作because的原因状语从句。根据原句意思可判断破折号前后内容构成因果关系，即不能使用生日或个人的电话号码作密码是因为它们均很容易地与个人联系起来，因此canbeeasilyassociatedwithyoupersonally为本题答案。

9.NN解析：根据题干中的信息词largebodies和resp
