13.Providesgoods/servicework

14.Mediaeducationalsystem．

15.Culturalchanges

16.accordingaccording解析：此句意为“…一项个性与社会心理学的六月杂志的研究。”显然，空处应填“根据”。

17.toto解析：revertto意为“重想，重提”，此句意为“如果你经常提到‘我们以前已经试着这样做了，但是不管用’就会很快地挫伤这种好问的头脑”。

18.suchsuch解析：“such…as”用来举例子。所以此处应填“such”。

19.killingkilling解析：本句意为“通过无控制地使用杀虫剂，人类已经污染了土地，…野生动物。”显然，此空处应填“杀害”，但不能填kill，因为英语中无连词时不可能有两个谓语，故应填killing，killingthewildlife是现在分词做伴随状语。

20.takestakes解析：要注意时态，这里意为“占据”，所以所以此处应填“takes”。

21.worseworse解析：“the+比较级，the+比较级”，意为“越…越…，”根据上下文，本句句意为“身边的小玩意儿越多，事情似乎就会变得越糟糕。”所以此处应填“worse”。

22.onon解析：dependenceon意为“依赖，依靠”，是固定短语。

23.thatthat解析：此空之后的内容为suggests的内容，即此处应填that，引导宾语从句。

24.whichwhich解析：由37题解析可知此空应为一个引导定语从句的词，即which，其后的定语修饰“several(typesofcontamination)”。

25.bringbring解析：根据上下文，此处意思为给他们带来快乐。带来用动词“bring”。所以此处应填“bring”。

26.C解析：由C中“It'spopularbecauseitisstillaffordable，althoughpriceshaverocketedoverthelastyear．”可以看出WillesdenGreen去年飞速增长，但是房价还能接受。所以此处答案为C。

27.B解析：同样，由短文第一段最后一句可知作者提到基因工程和计算机科学就是为了表明新材料对未来世界的重要性。

28.A解析：文章的主要目的是什么?短文介绍科学家在有关大脑结构方面的研究成果。B、C、D只是片面上的。所以本题应选A。

29.B解析：书评二中最后几句话提到了Stiglitz对RubinandSummers，Fischer，theNO.2officialanddefactochiefexecutiveoftheIMF的批评，“…theyhadtoomuchfaiththatmarketscouldtransform.poorcountriesovernight．Hel
