13.highlysubjectiveWay

14.A

15.B

16.productionproduction解析：从前一句话“Themanufacturersgobeyondonlytellingconsumersabouttheirproducts．”可以看出，一方面广告要介绍自己的产品，而第二个目的就是卖掉自己的产品。所以这里作者想要表达的意思是“广告要使得顾客有一种购买的欲望去购买自己的产品。”故答案为production。

17.happinesshappiness解析：根据上下文，日本年轻人更看重追求个人的幸福。所以此处应填“happiness”。

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

19.firstfirst解析：根据题意，作者想在这里做一个比较，而比较的对象是目的。这里作者仅仅给出了两个目的，所以这里是和第一个目的进行比较。故答案为first。

20.WhenWhen解析：这里的一句话其实与下一半句“whenwearedown-to-earth，…”所起到的作用是一样的，同时两者也是并列的，when表达了“当…”，所以这里填when。故答案为when。

21.referencereference解析：这三个分词短语意为“执行日常运算、挖掘…材料、操作再生产设备”。显然，“参考材料”最合适。

22.atat解析：某大学的教授，应为“aprofessorat…university”，所以答案为介词“at”。

23.offoff解析：turnoff是“关掉”的意思，此题考查动词短语的用法，根据上下文语境，这里意思是“关掉你的手机”。所以用副词“off”。

24.someonesomeone解析：由本文的第一句话“‘Down-to-earth’meanssomeoneorsomethingthatishonest，realisticandeasytodealwith.”可知“Down-to-earth”指的是诚实，现实、平易近人的那些人。这里的someone和后面是相对应的。故答案为someone。

25.fromfrom解析：“来自…的数据”，要用介词“from”。所以此处应填“from”。

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

27.D解析：由D中的advantage中的第四句话“Windfarmscanbetouristattractions．”可知答案为D。

28.C解析：由第三段中的“Forthosecompaniesusingtechnology，theperdocumentcostofinformationprocessingisonlyafractionofwhatitwasafewyearsago．”可知。

29.C解析：由C中的第二段“Onthesouthwall，visitorswillseealledictsignedwiththeGreatFifth’shandprint．”可知。

30.B解析：文中提到，在一家企业中，最昂贵的资源是人力资源。

31.B解析：由B中“BarnessitsjustacrosstheriverfromHammersmithinsouthwestLondon，butitcouldnotbemoredifferentfromthenoiseandbustleoftheoppositebank．”可以看出Barnes与其对岸喧嚣吵闹的城市完全不同。所以此处答案为B。

32.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。

33.B解析：有关商业方面的报道都是对Stiglitz的论点的支持信息。“…especiallywhenthebusinesspageisfullofstories
