16.normalnormal解析:根据上下文可以判断此处句意为“很正常的事情”,因此此处应填“normal”。
17.linklink解析:与37题对应,此处应填link,表明在“near-pointgripping”和“slow,illegiblewriting”之间存在联系。
18.rationalrational解析:从文章的后面可以知道,顾客们已经要结算了,认为都买了该买的商品。但是售货员在他们等着付账的过程中巧妙的利用顾客们的购物冲动向他们推销,而不是理性购物。故答案为rational。
19.gogo解析:gotoone’sheads的意思是“展现、表现”,俗语。用在文中表示“把…写在脸上”,生怕别人不知道的显摆。故答案为go。
20.areare解析:分析句子结构,这里缺少系动词be来构成动词的被动形式。故答案为are。
21.betweenbetween解析:此句意为“Thomas先生尽管不能在握笔方式和拼写准确性之间建立重要的统计学联系,…”所以答案为介词between。
22.wherewhere解析:此题考查where引导的定语从句,修饰前面提到的plane,trainorbus。所以此处应填关系副词“where”。
23.withwith解析:endupwith意为“以…结束,以…告终”,为固定短语。
24.disposedispose解析:由前一句“但是这个问题因为我们的“一次性”技术而加剧了。”可知,此处应为“丢掉,扔掉”之意,即disposeof。
25.linklink解析:与37题对应,此处应填link,表明在“near-pointgripping”和“slow,illegiblewriting”之间存在联系。
26.A解析:在第三段最后一句“…oneculture—basedproducthasbeenclearedformarketinginEurope.”里出现了“cleared”一词。根据下文中“marketing”和读者有关药品上市前应该得到批准的常识,可以判断出,该词在本句中的意思是“得到官方的批准”。因此正确答案为A。
27.B解析:由文章第一段第一句“Insuranceissupposedtoprovideprotectionagainstfinancialrisks…”可知。
28.B解析:由B中的第三段第二句话“NewYorkhasbecomeoneoftheworld'sbusiestportsandalsothefinancial,manufacturing,
