15.Thecompleteanswers

16.oftenoften解析：本句話的意思是“那些自我感覺(jué)很了不起、內(nèi)心充滿驕傲的人，總是不需要理由的就被人認(rèn)為是趾高氣揚(yáng)的人?！惫蔬@里答案為often。

17.whichwhich解析：“聲譽(yù)建立的基礎(chǔ)”英語(yǔ)表達(dá)為“thefoundationonwhichreputationsarebuilt”，which指代foundations。

18.againstagainst解析：guardagainst意為“防止，防范，警惕”，為固定短語(yǔ)，against也可以省略。

19.concernconcern解析：“concernfor”表示“對(duì)…關(guān)心”。所以此處應(yīng)填“concern”。

20.pollpoll解析：此句意為“Synovate市場(chǎng)研發(fā)公司的調(diào)查顯示”，poll的意思為“民意調(diào)查”。因此答案為“poll”。

21.butbut解析：此句意為“30歲的人表現(xiàn)出非常不同的握筆方式，…超過(guò)40歲的人都統(tǒng)一用三個(gè)手指握筆?！憋@然，此空處表轉(zhuǎn)折。

22.gradesgrades解析：此句意為“…他指出在主要大學(xué)里關(guān)控制評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)及恢復(fù)不及格…的努力?！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)填“分?jǐn)?shù)”。

23.threatenthreaten解析：由33題解析可以知道此空一定為“威脅”之意。

24.dumpingdumping解析：由本句句意“通過(guò)將污水和化學(xué)物質(zhì)…人河流和湖泊，…”可知，此空處顯然應(yīng)為“倒”。又因?yàn)榻樵~后只能用dumping，而不能用dump。

25.tastetaste解析：本句意為“我們看得見(jiàn)它，聞得見(jiàn)它，…它，喝它，而且在它中間掙扎?！庇沙ＷR(shí)可知，此空處只有一個(gè)“嘗”較合適。

26.B解析：第三段中Dr．Laragh提到“…所以建議所有人應(yīng)該少吃鹽沒(méi)有意義。”可以推知，他的言下之意是“醫(yī)生不應(yīng)建議人們不吃鹽”。

27.B解析：由B中的第一段最后一句話“Ithasbeencalled‘Thelastgreatwar．’”可知。

28.CC解析：上一段中提到的“myth”是有關(guān)家庭關(guān)系的問(wèn)題，擔(dān)心家庭關(guān)系會(huì)因?yàn)槔淆g化問(wèn)題而使親人之間疏遠(yuǎn)。C中研究中心的倫理學(xué)家對(duì)這一問(wèn)題進(jìn)行了佐證。年長(zhǎng)者對(duì)家庭需要貢獻(xiàn)的角色越來(lái)越重要，所以這些擔(dān)心都是沒(méi)必要的，可以找到解決措施的。

29.D解析：由短文第六段可知答案為D。

30.A解析：在第三段最后一句“…oneculture-basedproducthasbeenclearedformarketinginEurope．”里出現(xiàn)了“cleared”一詞。根據(jù)下文中“marketing”和讀者有關(guān)藥品上市前應(yīng)該得到批準(zhǔn)的常識(shí)，可以判斷出，該詞在本句中的意思是“得到官方的批準(zhǔn)”。因此正確答案為A。

31.CC解析：由此處上段的“therewasanothertransition…theywerereplacedbythemillandtheassemblyline.”可知，工業(yè)革命以后，人們不需要象以前那樣賣(mài)力氣的工作了。而后面選項(xiàng)中的“westandatthebrinkofachange…”說(shuō)明了此事，故應(yīng)選C。

32.D解析：“bitingone’snails”的意思是“一籌莫展”，通過(guò)后面的表述，“mostofherclientsspend$12to$50weekly，…”可以看出Spero并不是到了沒(méi)有顧客的地步，只是越來(lái)越少，所以他并沒(méi)有到達(dá)絕望的處境。故應(yīng)選D。

33.CC解析：接下來(lái)講的是人體的免疫系統(tǒng)與毒藤之間的關(guān)系。毒藤會(huì)使人產(chǎn)生什么樣的反應(yīng)，該空緊接的就是毒藤過(guò)敏反應(yīng)時(shí)如何產(chǎn)生的?！癏ere'showthepoisonivyresponseoccurs．”一句承上啟下。所以本題應(yīng)選C。

34.A解析：從文章最后一句話“BecauseofHome'semphasiscrucialtoanystudyofart，thetwentiethcenturyhascometoappreciateBotticelli'sachievements.”
