13.D

14.C

15.Thegeneralpublic．

16.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(dǎo)的是一個表語從句，故答案為what。

17.toto解析：“attributeto”意為“把某事歸因于”，為固定搭配，所以此處應(yīng)填“to”。

18.accordingaccording解析：accordingto為“依據(jù)”，為固定短語，意為“根據(jù)美國的民意調(diào)查”。所以此處填according。

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

20.betweenbetween解析：“…relation…actionsandtheirconsequences”意為“…行動和它們的結(jié)果…關(guān)系”，空處顯然缺“之間”。

21.dodo解析：分析見上題。故答案為do。

22.proportionproportion解析：此處意為很大比例的學(xué)生仍然喜歡簡單的工作，所以此處應(yīng)填“proportion”。

23.displaydisplay解析：這里要回應(yīng)本段第一句話中的“displayed”。在出口結(jié)算處展示的這些小商品無疑是一種誘惑。這里需要用名詞形式。故答案為display。

24.alsoalso解析：由35題解析，拼寫有問題的學(xué)生必定握筆習(xí)慣不好。

25.thoughthough解析：本句話的意思是“盡管知道顧客們可能不知道自己為什么買了這些商品，但是賣家卻知道怎么去做。”故答案為though。

26.BB解析：該空缺下面的段落都是對每一個“myth”的揭示。誰來揭示呢?B項中提到牛津大學(xué)老齡化研究中心成立各個問題研究組。

27.D解析：文章的第一段最后一句話“Evenwhenanti-academicarthistorians．．．，Botticelli’sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste…．”，就算當(dāng)時很多正統(tǒng)的藝術(shù)風(fēng)格被批判，波提切利的作品也沒有引起重視，認(rèn)為他的作品不隨人們的口味，既滿足不了專業(yè)人士的品位，也不能滿足業(yè)余人士的欣賞要求。這里的undervalue的意思是“低估，沒有重視”，故應(yīng)選D。

28.DD解析：此處的前一段說明的是一些特殊情況，例如“Thesameistrueofthecrippledorphysicallyhandicapped．”而后面的一段指出“Ofcourse，theoppositeisalsotrue．”也就是說在空白的地方，作者依然在說明這些不尋常的情況，故應(yīng)選D。

29.B解析：此題是有關(guān)作者態(tài)度的問題。由第5、6段可以看出女客服的回答兩人很不滿，很沮喪。所以本題應(yīng)選B。

30.B解析：由B中的第四句話“ThenorthernpartoftheTempleiscircularwhilethesouthernpartissquare，”可知.

31.A解析：由A中的第一句話“‘Bewitched’isapainfullyembarrassingremakeoftheclassicTVsitcomthatranonABCfrom1964-1972．”可知。

32.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“Wetendtothinkthatistheinfluenceofsocietythatproducesthesedifferences．”即我們認(rèn)為社會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。

33.C解析：從第一段最后一句話“Botticelli’sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste，pleasingneitheramateurobserversnorconnoisseurs．”可知，作者講述了那些評論家，不管是業(yè)余的還是職業(yè)的，他們都不滿意它的作品風(fēng)格。所以這個詞的意思可能是“對作品做出評論的那些業(yè)余人士”。故應(yīng)選C。

34.B解析：由第五段可知雖然美國人聲稱自己攝入的卡路里量下降，但這并不是真的，故A項是錯誤的。美國人總是在食物攝入量上撒謊，所以并不能推出他們知道自己吃了多少，故C項不正確。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句話可以知道D項不正確。

35.CC解析：由此空上幾段看，均是在講述Louis-Dreyfus的事，而下一段則提到另一個人MichaelMichalsky，故此空應(yīng)為C，因為C中講述的仍是Louis-Dreyfus的事。

36.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。

37.A解析：由A中的第二段第二句話“Oneitherside
