14.Tochallengeauthority

15.A

16.oppositeopposite解析：从文章第二段的内容可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson和那些表面上装的很重要的人物正好相反。所以这里应填“相反的”，故答案为opposite。

17.differencedifference解析：显然，这句话是在对老年人和年轻人写字之间进行比较，而且由后半句中的"getbetterat…”可知，此空必为“不同的”。

18.whowho解析：此空后的句子显然为定语从句，修饰“Behaviorists”，所以应填一个who，引导修饰人的定语从句。

19.foundfound解析：此句意为“1,000名受访者中有70%的发现，相对于其他设备来说，在使用手机时人们表现出最差的礼仪”，所以答案为“found”。

20.sellingselling解析：关键是看and后面的buying。本句话的意思是“商家分析市场的供需情况。”故答案为selling。

21.importantimportant解析：从本句后面的一句话可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson就算是重要的人物，他们也不会把这种显赫写在脸上。所以前面应填important。故答案为important.

22.ofof解析：deprivesb．ofsth．为固定短语，意为“剥夺某人的某东西(或某权利)”。

23.populationpopulation解析：由下一句“越来越多的人正在制造更多的垃圾。”可知，此处应指“膨胀的人口”，即explodingpopulation。

24.FortunatelyFortunately解析：由本句句意“…可以看到有解决办法的希望了。”可知，此空应填“幸运的是”。

25.asas解析：thinkofsth．assth．为固定短语，意为“把某物想成某物”。

26.EE解析：由上下两段可知，只有E放在此处可使上下文衔接。

27.DD解析：该空承接上段，讲的还是与毒藤相关的信息。毒橡树跟毒漆树的生长地点，环境及其形状。还是对鉴别毒藤的支撑信息。所以本题应选D。

28.B解析：由第一段可知，两人是因为肥胖而被送进医院的，故B项正确。A、C项文章中未提到。两个病人不能证明fatlash运动高涨。故D项是错误的。

29.A解析：从文章第二段倒数第一句话“…andmanysaytheyremainoptimisticabouttheeconomy'slong-termprospects…．”可以看出，人们对现在的经济形势并不担心，相反他们认为从长远的角度来看，这种情况还是比较好的。故应选A。

30.C解析：由文章第二段可知C不对，而A、B、D文中均提到了。

31.D解析：由D中的第三段“Theauthorarguesthatpollutioniscontrolledbyincreasingtherelativepriceofthepollutinggoodsintheproductionprocess”可知。

32.A解析：由短文最后一段中的“Andthattransitioncouldprovedifficult，forswitchingrequireslengthyresearchandinvestment．”。

33.BB解析：由下一段第一句中提到的“tomato”可知只有B中“Supporterssaythetomato”与之对应。

34.A解析：文中提到“…urgedcautioninensuringthateffortstoprotectournationdonotresultinbroadgovernmentauthoritytoerodeprivacyrightsofU．S．citizens．”其意思是“保护国家的利益也不应该伤害美国居民的个人隐私权利”，可知作者认为这项提议是不公正的。故应选A。

35.D解析：此题问技术员的回答如何。文章中“ButIdoneedit．”“Yes．butyoudon'thaveit．”Wewentonlikethisforawhile．Finally,heofferedtowalkmethrough…可以看出“技术员最后是在敷衍作者，没有提出一个合理的解决办法”。所以本题应选D。

36.B解析：从第五段中描述到，看到装着支票的信封没有了，但是垃圾还在，所以作者的丈夫怀疑信封是被别人偷走了，立马就通知银行作废了这张支票。所以Mickey最终还是没有从银行中取走钱。因此正确答案为B。

37.B解析：文章最后一段第二句话“Competitionsometimesencouragesfeelingsofsuspicionratherthanthemutualtrustthatisnecessaryforsuccessfulnationalcooperation．”说明竞争有时会助长怀疑的意识，而不是合作需要的相互信任。故应选B。

38.A解析：书评一中提到Stiglitz更主张政府参与下的经济政策，而不是以市场为主导的政策。所以本题应选A。

39.A解析：由A中最后一句“TheCollegehasanationalreputationforthequalityofitsdyslexiaprovision．”可知。

40.C解析：由C中的第二段“Itisnowconsideredthecenterofindustry，transportation，commerceandfinanceinthemid-westarea．”可知答案为C。

41.C21世纪刚刚开始。美国的一些领导人就强调美国除了原先的价值观念以外。必须树立一些新的价值观，尤其是保护自然资源的价值观。虽然在这方面取得了一定的进展，但是当这些观念与个人的利益发生冲突时，他们就只会保障自己的利益。同时，美国人应该强调合作意识，尤其涉及到国家整体利益的时候。但是对个人自由的追求以及强烈的竞争意识使得国家利益很难通过全民合作来实现。
