13.Howpeoplebehave

14.A

15.Civil．

16.fromfrom解析：keepsth．fromdoingsth：意为“防止某事…”，为固定短语。

17.dailydaily解析：此句意为“但是不要使他们的…工作仅仅成为一长串令人心烦的差使。”显然，此空应填“每日的，日常的”。

18.awareaware解析：beawareof，固定搭配，意为“意识到”。所以此处应填“aware”。

19.callscalls解析：此句意为“他把这种缺乏礼节的行为称作是一种无意识的无礼”。call+双宾语结构，以为“把…称为”，所以此处填“calls”。

20.waswas解析：此空显然应是句子的谓语成分，应填动词的过去式。

21.ofof解析：beofthesame…意为“是一样…”，此句意为“…在正确的指导下，他们能继续学习，继续通过干许多一样复杂的工作而获得多样性。”

22.customercustomer解析：从这个句子的宾语“…thatheorshehasdoneagoodjobofchoosingtheitems．”可以看出，这里说的是顾客的行为，他们认为自己买这些商品是很理性的。故答案为customer。

23.withoutwithout解析：此处意为年轻人更喜欢没有重大责任的简单工作。所以此处应填“without”。

24.threatenthreaten解析：由33题解析可以知道此空一定为“威胁”之意。

25.towardtoward解析：作者要表达的意思是“我怎么才能对别人诚实。”英语中表达“对某人…”一般是用介词toward。故答案为toward。

26.B解析：B中提到“TheaccoladeofwinningtheSchoolsCurriculumAwardin1997gaveEdgehillnationalrecognitionand，recently，…”。

27.D解析：这是一个通篇的中心归纳的考察题。文章一开始就指出“Beforeabigexam,asoundnight’ssleepwilldoyoubetterthanporingovertextbooks.”意思是在晚上好好的睡觉对记忆是有好处的。最后作者有归纳了研究的结果，“…concludedthatthenerveconnectionsinvolvedinmemoryarereinforcedthroughreactivationduringREMsl

28.B解析：本文第一句提到“TodayTVaudiencesallovertheworldareaccustomedtothesightofAmericanastronautsintip-topcondition,withfairhair,crew-cuts,goodteethand…”。

29.D解析：由第二段最后一句“InNewYork，Comstat'sstatisticalmapsareanalyzedeachweekatameetingofthecity’spolicechiefandprecinctcaptains．”可知。

30.EE解析：由上一段中提到的“…whengeneticallymixedwithawildstrainofmushroom…”可知，只有E放在此处才能使上下段衔接，意思连贯。

31.C解析：由C中的howitworks中的第一条“Thiswasoriginallydevelopedinordertoprovideelectricityforsatellites…．．”可知答案为C。

32.C解析：这个题考察的是对后面几段的归纳。首先在第三段开始“Dr．MaquetusedanelectronicdevicecalledPET…theypracticedataskduringtheday，andastheysleptduringthefollowingnight．”这是一种对比性的研究方法。后来的第四段最后“…theirresponsetimeswhentheywokeupwereevenquickerthanwhentheywenttosleep．”也采用了对比的分析研究，故应选C。

33.B解析：从文章的第三段可以看出，“Homepricesareholdingsteadyinmostregions.”作者在这一段主要说明房子等不动产的价格、利润等方面，所以“the$4millionto$10millionrange”说的是不动产。故应选B。

34.D解析：原文对应信息是：“Eagertoboosttheirmagazinerankings，whicharebasedinp
