15.Howpeoplebehave

16.somesome解析：這里需要填寫的是商品的名稱，就是說擺在出口結(jié)算處的那些小商品。泛指時用some。故答案為some。

17.toto解析：revertto意為“重想，重提”，此句意為“如果你經(jīng)常提到‘我們以前已經(jīng)試著這樣做了，但是不管用’就會很快地挫傷這種好問的頭腦”。

18.promisingpromising解析：此句意為“一家大制造公司最近采訪了許多…的工程師，這些工程師都已離開這家公司?！庇缮舷戮渑袛?，此空處填“有希望的，有前景的”最合句意。

19.normalnormal解析：根據(jù)上下文可以判斷此處句意為“很正常的事情”，因此此處應填“normal”。

20.workwork解析：本句意為“我們以前已經(jīng)嘗試過，但是不…?！憋@然，此空處應填“奏效，起作用”，英語中表達這一含義最地道的詞就是work。

21.afterafter解析：此句意為“…他注意到了那些拼寫有問題的學生也有一個壞的握筆習慣，他受到鼓舞調(diào)查這個領域?！?/p>

22.whosewhose解析：此句意為“StephanieThomas，一位學習輔導老師，…發(fā)現(xiàn)已經(jīng)發(fā)表了…?！庇纱丝芍仗幩顔卧~必為whose，引導定語從句，修飾teacher。

23.underunder解析：underguidance意為“在…指導下”，為固定短語。

24.byby解析：此空所在短句意為“報酬經(jīng)常毀掉創(chuàng)造性，…鼓勵依賴他人的認可和禮物。”顯然，空處應填“通過”，在英語中介詞by即可表達此意。

25.whatwhat解析：這句話的意思是“這就是商家和賣者希望顧客們做的事情”，what引導的是一個表語從句，故答案為what。

26.C解析：文中第一段提到“Butsuchbehavioralstudiescannotdistinguishbetweentwocompetingtheoriesofwhysleepisgoodforthememory.”所以他們對為什么睡眠對記憶有好處持有不同的觀點，故應選C。

27.AA解析：由此空上下文可以看出，A填入使上下兩段意思銜接。

28.C解析：由第三段最后一句“Lifeinsuranceisan…isnotsubjecttotaxes，incontrasttootherpersonalinvestments．”可知。

29.A解析：由A中將打算建“nighttimeeconomy”可以看出。所以此處答案為A。

30.D解析：fib意為“撒小謊”。

31.A解析：由A中的第二段第二句話“Oneithersideofthepalacearemanycomparativelysmallbuildings.”可知。

32.C解析：A、B、D在文中均提到，是正確的，而C不對，文中提到“Youwouldexpectthemtofindtheirfriendsfromtheirprofessionalassociates，butthisisnotthecase．Rather，theyprefertomakefriendswiththenormalfolkintheirdistricts．”

33.D解析：文章最后一段指出，“Congressshouldpasslegislation…，allowcustomerstooptoutofsuchdatacollection，and…”，意思就是說國會應該要求網(wǎng)站公示收集用戶隱私信息的政策，通過何種方式收集的，告訴用戶怎么才能避開這些信息收集以及怎么查閱所收集的信息等等內(nèi)容。optout的意思是“避開、避免”。故應選D。

34.A解析：作者的態(tài)度從文章第一句話和最后一句話就可以明顯判斷出來。第一句話說基因療法是20世紀的偉大成就之一，最后一句話說“Everybodyrecognizesthatgenetherapyisaverygoodidea”，由此可見作者對基因療法持積極樂觀的態(tài)度。因此正確答案為A。

35.A解析：由第三段中所舉的GTE的例子可知“efficienttechnologyiscost-effective”。

36.CC解析：上一段中提到的“myth”是有關家庭關系的問題，擔心家庭關系會因為老齡化問題而使親人之間疏遠。C中研究中心的倫理學家對這一問題進行了佐證。年長者對家庭需要貢獻的角色越來越重要，所以這些擔心都
