I作主语，助动词为have。故填haveundergone。【12题】考查非谓语动词。句意：我站着不动，准备听一句粗鲁的评论。本句的谓语是was，所以空格处应用非谓语动词。stand和I之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，所以应用现在分词，作伴随状语；句首单词，首字母大写。故填Standing。【13题】考查代词。句意：这张礼品卡是给你的，漂亮的女孩，这样你就可以给自己买些特别的东西了。这里表示你给你自己买动词，主语和宾语均为同一人，所以应用反身代词yourself作宾语。故填yourself。【答案】14.suggests15.healthier16.why

【14题】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：现有研究的证据表明可能存在关联。分析句子可知，空格处缺少谓语动词，根据句意可知，句子陈述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，“evidence”意为“证据”，为不可数名词，故空格处应用“suggest”的三单形式“suggests”。故填suggests。【15题】考查形容词比较级。句意：似乎更多感恩的人表示自己睡得更好，感觉更健康。分析句子可知，空格处应用形容词，作表语，根据句意和句中“better”可知，句中把感恩的人和其他人进行比较，感恩的人睡得更好，感觉更健康，故空格处应用“healthy”的比较级“healthier”。故填healthier。【16题】考查宾语从句。句意：现在，研究人员仍然需要弄清楚感恩对我们的健康是否如此有益。分析句子可知，句子为宾语从句，“it”作形式宾语，空格处单词引导从句，作真正的宾语，根据上文“gratitudemayleadpeopletoengageinbehaviorsthathelpkeepthemhealthy,likenotsmoking”可知：感恩能让人们做帮助保持健康的行为。所以想弄清楚“为什么感恩对于健康有好处”。故填写why.【答案】17.wascatching18.toobserve19which20.behavior##behaviour【17题】考查时态。句意：爱德华·O·威尔逊——“现代的查尔斯·达尔文”——七点钟在家附近的河里捕鱼时伤到了右眼。根据“atseven”可知，这里表示过去正在进行的动作，应用过去进行时。主语为he，be动词用was。故填wascatching。【18题】考查非谓语动词。句意：由于视力差，他只能观察蚂蚁等小动物。allowsb.todosth.意为“允许某人做某事”，不定式作宾补。故填toobserve。【19题】考查定语从句。句意：威尔逊对蚂蚁的无私感兴趣，蚂蚁会为自己的群体牺牲自己，他提出了一个理论，证实了利他行为在各种物种中的存在。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为指物的ants，且空处在从句中作主语，所以应用which引导。故填which。【20题】考查名词。句意参考上题。根据空前的altruistic可知，空处应用名词。behavior/behaviour意为“行为”，为不可数名词。故填behavior/behaviour。【答案】21.D22.D23.B【21题】细节理解题。根据第二段中“noirritation,nocolorchanging,orfadingofsilver.Ican’teventelltheyarein!”（没有刺激，没有变色，没有银色的褪色。我都不知道我戴着耳环！）可知，耳环比较轻，而且也对皮肤没有刺激。故选D。【22题】细节理解题。根据第二段中“Madefromsterlingsilver,theearringsarelightweightandperfectforeverydaywear.”（这款耳环由纯银制成，重量轻，非常适合日常佩戴。）可知，这款耳环适合日常佩戴。选项A错误；第三段中“thefashionableandfunctionalKSbaghasaninsulatedlining(隔热的内衬)thathelpskeepfoodandbeveragesfresh,andaninsidepocketthatholdsutensils.Plus,thesoft,lightweightdesignmakesiteasytobringanywhere.”（时尚和功能性的KS袋有一个绝缘衬里，有助于保持食品和饮料的新鲜，和一个内口袋，容纳器具。此外，软，轻便的设计使它很容易带到任何地方。）可知，KS袋有一个绝缘衬里，轻便的设计使得它易于携带，但并没有说它是银质的。选项B错误；根据倒数第二段中“TheBrevilleExpress,whichhasmorethan14,000five-starreviews,comesineitherblackorstainlesssteelsurfacesandoffersthesamedose-controlledgrinding(研磨)that’snormallyreservedforfancycoffeeshops.”（BrevilleExpress有超过14,000条五星级评论，它有黑色或不锈钢表面，并提供通常只有高档咖啡店才有的剂量控制研磨服务。）可知，TheBrevilleExpress可以提供剂量控制研磨服务，没有提及它可以快速研磨，选项C错误；根据最后一段中“idealforback,stomachandsidesleepers.”（对平睡，趴着睡和侧面睡的人而言是合适的。）可知，BeckhamPillows适合不同睡姿的人士。与文意一致，故选D。【23题】推理判断题。根据文章标题“BestGiftsforEveryTypeofMom”（最适合各种类型妈妈的礼物）可知
