8.Completelyseparate/exclusive．

9.A

10.A

11.A

12.B

13.A

14.Totakeinformation

15.C

16.betweenbetween解析：此句意為“Thomas先生盡管不能在握筆方式和拼寫準(zhǔn)確性之間建立重要的統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)聯(lián)系，…”所以答案為介詞between。

17.surveysurvey解析：根據(jù)后面的數(shù)據(jù)，空缺處指的是1993年的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查問卷，所以此處應(yīng)填“survey”。

18.useuse解析：后面的一句話"Theexpressionis‘both-feet-on-the-ground．’”表示down-to-earth的另一種表達(dá)方法是both-feet-on-the-ground。而后一種說法是美國(guó)人的用法，常常被美國(guó)人使用。故答案為use。

19.andand解析：這三個(gè)分詞短語是并列的，故中間的連詞只能用and。

20.foundfound解析：此句意為“1,000名受訪者中有70%的發(fā)現(xiàn)，相對(duì)于其他設(shè)備來說，在使用手機(jī)時(shí)人們表現(xiàn)出最差的禮儀”，所以答案為“found”。

21.nono解析：本句話的意思是“那些趾高氣揚(yáng)的人不可能是那些平易近人的人”。這是否定的意思，故答案為no。

22.themthem解析：本題考查代詞的用法，根據(jù)上下文，此處句意為“人們使用這些小玩意兒。”上文已經(jīng)提到gadgets，所以這里用代詞“them”代替。

23.andand解析：這三個(gè)分詞短語是并列的，故中間的連詞只能用and。

24.wherewhere解析：此題考查where引導(dǎo)的定語從句，修飾前面提到的plane，trainorbus。所以此處應(yīng)填關(guān)系副詞“where”。

25.towardtoward解析：作者要表達(dá)的意思是“我怎么才能對(duì)別人誠(chéng)實(shí)?！庇⒄Z中表達(dá)“對(duì)某人…”一般是用介詞toward。故答案為toward。

26.D解析：由D中的第三段第二句話“CaliforniaisaleadingstateintheproductionofelectronicproductsandtheareaofLosAngeleshasgrownintoallimportantelectroniccenter．”可知答案為D。

27.B解析：由短文第一段最后一句“Exoticplastics，glassandceramicswillshapethefuturejustassurelyashavegeneticengineeringandcomputerscience．”可知，本文提到了三種新材料。

28.DD解析：該空承接上段，講的還是與毒藤相關(guān)的信息。毒橡樹跟毒漆樹的生長(zhǎng)地點(diǎn)，環(huán)境及其形狀。還是對(duì)鑒別毒藤的支撐信息。所以本題應(yīng)選D。

29.CC解析：上一段中提到的“myth”是有關(guān)家庭關(guān)系的問題，擔(dān)心家庭關(guān)系會(huì)因?yàn)槔淆g化問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)的角色越來越重要，所以這些擔(dān)心都是沒必要的，可以找到解決措施的。

30.D解析：由D中“TheprojectincludesanewEurostarterminalopeningthisyearandaspruced-upTubestation，alongsidehundredsofnewhomes，officesandleisurefacilitiessettobecompletedin2015．”可以看出將在King'sCross投資建立許多基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。所以此處答案為D。

31.D解析：由D中的advantage內(nèi)容最后一條“Agoodmethodofsupplyingenergytoremoteareas.”可知答案為D。

32.B解析：根據(jù)第三段和第四段的論述，我們可以得知作者的總體看法，即特別的勞工防護(hù)法并沒有保護(hù)婦女的權(quán)益，故B項(xiàng)正確。A項(xiàng)與作者的觀點(diǎn)明顯相悖，所以不正確。C項(xiàng)從文中不能推知，故不正確。文中沒有提到男性工人的保護(hù)問題，故D項(xiàng)也不正確。

33.D解析：根據(jù)這篇文章，普遍認(rèn)為大腦的區(qū)別由什么因素引起的?短文第三段倒數(shù)第二句話說“Wetendtothinkthat，istheinfluenceofsocietythatproducesthesedifferences．”即我們認(rèn)為社會(huì)的影響造成了這些區(qū)別。A、B、c均不符合題意。所以本題應(yīng)選D。

34.A解析：pressing意為“緊迫的，急迫的”。

35.D解析：由整篇短文的主旨“低鹽并不適
