参考答案

1.C解析：首段提出问题：员工过多披露个人信息，让同事感觉不悦，第二段末句引言即TimYoung的处理方法。[C]中redirect…attentiontowork是对引言中refocusthembackonthecompany的同义转述，故为答案。

2.clearfraudpolicyclearfraudpolicy解析：该段首句前半句提到，在困难时期，员工的偷盗行为会有所上升，后半句when引导的时间状语从句中举了两个例子来说明：1．带回家一卷卫生纸；2．得到一张价值仅为20美元的免费咖啡卡。由第三段首句中的比较级largercases可知第二段里的两个例子是smallones，题干中的smallcasesoffraud是对这两个例子的概括。题干中的Ms．Coenenadvices对应原文中的Ms．Coenensuggests；whatbehavioursareunaccepted对应what'sunacceptable，显然writingaclearfraudpolicy即为答案出处。空前为witha提示，本空应填一名词(短语)，故答案为clearfraudpolicy。

3.unmaskedunmasked解析：根据题意和题干中的carotenoidsandanthocyanins定位到第二个小标题下第2段的末句Thecarotenoidsandanthocyaninsthatarepresentintheleafarethenunmaskedandshowtheircolors．此处需填入表语成分。题目中的Leavesshowdifferentcolorsotherthangreen“叶子显现出除绿色外的其他颜色”和原文中的showtheircolors“(类胡萝卜素和花青素)显现出自身的颜色来”表达的实际是同一概念，故答案就是unmasked。

4.B解析：推断题根据关键词Website查读小标题InternetPresence下面第二段最后一句Ifyourpotentialclientsarealllocal，iftheyhavelittleornoaccesstotheInternet，thenthistechnologymaybeoneyoucanplaywith...这里的thistechnology指网络技术。

5.A

6.B解析：细节题。题文为“在所有的离婚案例中都有必要向合格的律师寻求建仅”。题目关键词："qualifiedlawyer，divorcecases"。根据关键词定位于"Usingadivorcelawyer"标题下，"...itisadvisabletoseeklegaladvicefromareputablefamilylawsolicitor..."明确地告诉读者：大多数离婚案件最好寻求律师的帮助。原文中的"thevastmajority"不等同于题口中的"all"。因此，本题答案为[N]。

7.B

8.invisibleinvisible解析：文章列举了一些针对基因改造作物的“暴行”，但是结果是抗议人士的行动适得其反，同为他们所破坏的,全都是传统农作物。究其原因，作者谈到“在每个案例里，那些行动派都把一般作物误认为基因改造过的品种。……可是从某个角度来看，那些作物都是隐形的。植入农作物的基因，你一个也看不见、尝不出，摸不着，或察觉它对环境的影响。”

9.D解析：细节题。根据题干frommanufacturingprocesses定位到第四个小标题末段首句Otherinventions,suchasanenormousdeviceknownastheelectrostaticprecipitator,havereducedsevereemissionsfrompower-plantsmokestacks，eliminatedtoxicsubstancesfrommanufacturingprocesses，即：发电

10.D解析：该句提到，Auto-Tune诞生后，几乎立刻成为录音室工程师的秘密武器，他们用它来修正歌手唱错的音符，随后说明原因：省下重录所需的花费和麻烦。[D]theydon'thavetowastetimeonrecordingmusicagain是对分词结构表示的原因saving…redosessions的同义转述，故答案为[D]。[B]项是对atradesecret的错误理解。

11.breakthehabit/getoutofthehabit．breakthehabit/getoutofthehabit．解析：参看文章第三段第二句。

12.02074984680

13.manyscalesmanyscales解析：由题干关键词Lashlarm和glidesonthesand可将答案定位至倒数第二段第四句：Underneaththebasearemanyscales，sothebaseglidesacrossthesurfaceofthesandmuchlikeasnakemovesalongtheground，即可得出答案为manyscales。

14.B解析：文章最后一段指出，对于这种新型的惩罚方法的最大的抵抗者是已经死去的受害者的家属，他们拒绝任何形式的补偿，他们认为唯一公正的punishment就是theonethatfitsthecrime。因此，creativ
