iencehasbroughtaboutmanychangesinourlives.科學(xué)給我們的生活帶來了很多變化。Theincreaseinbusinessactivitywasbroughtaboutbythefallinoilprice.油價的下跌帶來了生意的興旺。[A]bring…off成功地做。例如：tobringoffabigbusinessdeal做成了一筆生意[B]bringup(1)教育；養(yǎng)育(例如衍生出的名詞upbringing為“教養(yǎng)”之意)(2)提出；引出。例如：Whydidyoubringthatup?你干嗎提那件事呢？[C]bring…(a)round:說服某人。I’msurewe’llbeabletobringhimaroundtoourpointofview.我肯定我們能說服他接受我們的觀點。36.[A]undermined解析：“削弱”，選undermine最合適。[B]decreasev.減少；變少；降低[C]diminishv.(使)減少,(使)變小37.[D]tradition解析：文化方面的“傳統(tǒng)”一般用tradition。38.[A]by解析：In1960about80percentofJapaneseover65livedwiththeirchildren;by1990only60percentdid—afigurethatisstil
