(该处应填入形容词。由本句中的compared可知前后应表示相反的意思，由前文提到社交活动积极的人不容易患痴呆症，因而此处讲的应是社交活动不积极的人更容易患痴呆症，所以应该填与“积极的”意义相反的词，故isolate的过去分词isolated符合文意。) 3. affect
(该处应填入动词原形。根据句意，此处要表达的应是长期忧郁会影响大脑功能，故确定给定词中的动词affect正确。effect只有当名词时才表示“影响”。) 4. statement

(该处应填入可数名词的复数形式。所给词中的symptom符合上下文，“症状”包括前面提到的memory loss，problems with direction并作have的宾语，故用symptoms。) 7. highlighting
(该处应填入及物动词的分词形式做状语。本话说的是痴呆症患者到2040年将增长4倍，这应当引起人们的关注，因此可确定所给词中的highlighting正确，意为“强调”。)

圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 8. tracked
(该处应填入与given并列的动词过去分词。这段话说的是研究人员收集资料的过程，因此可在给定词中确定track一词正确，意为“跟踪调查”。) 9. diagnosed

参考答案及解析 1. dreams

圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 (该处应填入形容词作表语。该句要表达的应为“在梦中我们会做一些我们清醒时决不会做的事情”，所以此处填入的词应与in dreams相反，故awake正确，意为“清醒”。) 4. unfamiliar

10. deep
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 (该处应填入副词。本段话将的是潜意识的力量是巨大的，有时我们不知道为什么要做一件事情，这是因为要求我们这样做的原因深深隐藏在我们的潜意识中，因此给定词中的deep一词正确。deep既可作形容词意为“深的”，表示具体的深度；也可以作副词意为“深深地、深刻地”，表示抽象的深度。)

(该处应填入能与for搭配的形容词或动词分词。从后面两句句意可知，在月球上生活人的心脏负担会减轻，所需能量更少，因此该处填入的单词应表示对人有益的意思，故可确定给定词中的healthful为本题答案，意为“有利健康的”。) 10. condition
(该处应填入名词。由上一句说到在月球上待久了身体可能发生变化以及本句出现的exercise可选定给定词中的condition一词，in good condition 意为“状态良好”。)

Bradbury and Laud Pasch, Ph.D., invited 57 couples, all married less than six months, to __(5)__ a difficulty that each partner was having.

Passage 77 题材：社会生活类 字数：305 condition similar likely open complex tolerant values easy continuous different familiar sociable comments liking resistance Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people ale similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more __(1)__ ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater __(2)__ in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by __(3)__ more areas of fife to decision.

Within a society, social change is also __(6)__ to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in __(7)__; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society rather than in their opposites；in the simple elements rather than in the __(8)__ ones；in form rather than in substance；and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.
Furthermore；social change is __(9)__ if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a(n) __(10)__ scale rather than one with sharp dichotomies. This is one reason why change has not come mole quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.
参考答案及解析 1. different
(该空格前为形容词比较级more，空格后为名词ways，因此空格处应选形容词作定语。原句意为“其简单原因在于，在第一种社会里有更多看待观有事物的____方式”，其中“第一种社会”(the first kind of society)指的是上文提到的不同人混合在一起的社会，由此推断，这种社会里的人看待现有事物的方式肯定会有差别，选项中different最适合。) 2. tolerance
34 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 (该空格前为形容词比较级greater，空格后为介词in。再结合之前的并列连词and可知，空格处应选和interest构成并列的名词。结合句意“此外在混合的社会之中，通常存在更大的世界性利益和____”和选项，tolerance(宽容)最适合。) 3. opening
(该空格前为介词by，空格后为名词短语more areas…，因此空格处应选及物动词的现在分词形式。原句意为“所有这些因素都倾向于通过对决定生活中更多的方面来促进社会变革”，由此推断，只有让生活中更多的方面都接触(变革的)决定，才能促进社会变革的进行，故用open的动名词形式opening。) 4. similar
(该空格前为副词quite，空格后为介词in，再结合之前的系动词are可知，空格处应选形容词作表语。原句意为“在人们在许多方面都十分____的社会里，人们很少有机会看到变革的需要或时机，因为每件事物似乎都是一样的”，由此可知，空格所选单词应意为“相似的”或“一样的”，只有similar(相似的)最适合。) 5. conditions
(分析句子结构可知，空格所在句缺少主语，因此空格处应选名词等作主语。原句意为“尽管可能不令人满意，但它们至少是合乎习俗的和无可争议的”，其中的“它们”(they)指代的应该就是空格处的单词，可见空格处应选可数名词的复数形式。再结合选项可知conditions最适合，用以指代上文提到的不易进行变革的社会的情形。) 6. likely
(该空格前为副词also，空格后为动词不定式to occur，再结合之前的系动词is可知，空格处应选形容词作定语。原句意为“在一个社会里，与文化的非物质方面相比，社会变革也____在文化的物质方面更为频繁和容易地出现”，因此所选单词应表示较高的可能性，
35 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 只有likely(很可能的)最适合。) 7. values
(该空格前为介词in，再结合之前的rather than可知，空格处应选含义与technology相对的名词。由之前的for example可知。空格所在句是对上文的举例说明，因此“科技”(technology)对应的是物质方面，而空格所选单词则对应非物质方面，结合选项可知values最适合。) 8. complex
(同上题相似，rather than前后的内容构成对比，空格后的ones指代的应该是之前的elements，而空格处所选单词则应为与simple(简单的)含义相对的形容词，应意为“复杂的”，故选E。) 9. easier
(该空格前为系动词is，因此空格处应选形容词作定语，或动词过去分词表被动。由下文的for example可知，下一句是对该句的举例说明，结合两句句意“社会变革如果是逐步进行的就____，例如，人际关系方面的社会变革在而不是明显对立的情况下更容易进行。”可知，该空格所选单词应与“更容易”(mole readily)相对应，而表示条件的“逐步的”(gradual)应与空格10所选单词相对应，因此此处只有用easy的比较级形式最适合。) 10. continuous
(该空格前为不定冠词a(n)，空格后为名词scale，因此空格处应选形容词作定语。如上题解析提到的，该空格所选单词应和gradual含义相近，只有continuous(持续的)最适合。)

圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 (考查“持股”的动词搭配。own，has，hold，possess都有“占有；拥有”的意思，注意此处应使用动词的第三人称单数，与全文的时态保持一致。) 4. spending

(此处考查介词。“个人喜好”应是附加在智能卡上的信息，with附带，附加。) 6. as

(句意：智能卡已经被程序设置以便只有密友才能进入所有房间。Programmer作动词有“设置程序”的意思，此处应使用被动语态。) 9. of

◆商业经济类
Passage 83 题材：商业经济类 字数：287
The most obvious purpose of advertising is to inform the consumer of available products or services. The second __(1)__ is to sell the product. The second purpose might be more important to the manufacturers than the __(2)__. The manufacturers go beyond only telling consumers about their products. They also try to persuade customers to buy the __(3)__ by creating a desire __(4)__ it. Because of advertisement, consumers think that they want something that they do not need. After buying something, the purchaser cannot always explain why it was __(5)__
Even __(6)__ the purchaser probably does not know why he or she bought something, the manufacturers __(7)__. Manufacturers have analyzed the business of __(8)__ and buying. They know all the different motives that influence a consumer’s purchase--some rational and __(9)__ emotional. Furthermore, they take advantage of this __(10)__.
Why __(11)__ so many products displayed at the checkout counters in grocery stores? The store management has some good __(12)__. By the time the customer is __(13)__ to pay for a purchase, he or she has already made rational, thought-out
51 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 decisions __(14)__ what he or she needs and wants to buy. The __(15)__ feels that he or she has done a good job of choosing the items. The shopper is especially vulnerable at this point. The __(16)__ of candy, chewing gum, and magazines are very attractive. They persuade the purchaser to buy something for emotional, not __(17)__ motives. For example, the customer neither needs nor plans to buy candy, but while the customer is standing, waiting to pay money, he or she may suddenly decide to buy__(18)__ This is exactly __(19)__ the store and the manufacturer hope that the customer will __(20)__. The customer follows his or her plan.
参考答案及解析 1. purpose
(根据文中第一句话的“The most obvious purpose...”可知，第一句陈述的是第一个目的，后面的sell the product是第二个目的，故答案为purpose。) 2. first
(根据空后的than可知这是做一个比较，由上文可知比较的对象是广告的目的。作者仅仅给出了两个目的，所以第二个目的只能和第一个目的进行比较。故答案为first。) 3. production
(该空前一句话提到“The manufacturers go beyond only telling consumers about their products.”，即广告远不止介绍自己的产品，语意上有递进关系，所以推测后面指的是劝服顾客买自己的产品。故答案为production。) 4. for
(根据前文理解可知这里是指产生购买的欲望，desire后面用介词for，表示“……的欲望”，表示“……的欲望”故答案为 for。)
52 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 5. bought
(根据本句的前一句话的意思“顾客认为他们需要一些他们其实不需要的商品。”可知顾客在买完东西后，也不能解释为什么要买的原因，因为是被动的意义，故答案为bought。) 6. though
(该空所在句是承接上段最后一句所说的，表示让步的语气，意为“尽管知道顾客们可能不知道自己为什么买了这些商品，……”，even though表示“尽管，虽然”，故答案为though。) 7. do
(在英语中，为避免与前面的动词重复，使用助动词do各种形式代替，此处为了避免与前面的know重复，这里可以换做do。故答案为do。) 8. selling
(根据and后面的buying可知，该空所填的词语buying相对。本句话意为“商家分析市场的供需情况。”，故答案为selling。) 9. some
(该句主要是在讲影响消费者消费的动机，后面提出一些人是理性的，可推测该空应该指一些人是情绪化的，故这里应该是some，代指不确定的以群人，故答案为 some。) 10. knowledge
(根据前面讲商家正确地分析市场的供需信息，可知此处指他们利用的这些信息知识。故答案为knowledge。) 11. are
(分析句子成分，products与 display是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此这里缺少系动词be来构成动词的被动形式，表示“为什么在食品杂货店那么多商品被展放在收银台”，故答
53 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 案为are。) 12. reasons
(该空上一句话提出问题，为什么在收银台摆设了那么多的商品？后面解释说商店管理有很好的理由，即对这个问题进行回答，并列举了原因。故答案为reasons。) 13. ready
(当顾客来到结算处，即说明他们准备好了要结账。固定搭配be ready to意为“准备好了做某事”，故答案为ready。) 14. on
(表示“对……的决定”在英语中表达为“decision on sth.”，故这里介词需要用on，表示对他们需要和想要的东西做出的决定。故答案为on。) 15. customer
(根据该句前面的“he or she has already made rational, thought-out decisions”可知顾客已经做出了理性而又深思熟虑的决定，那么这里“…that he or she has done a good job of choosing the items.”应该也指的是顾客，故答案为customer。) 16. display
(前文中提到很多商店将商品展放在收银台处，这里要回应上句话中的“displayed”。意为“糖，口香糖，杂志的展示都非常吸引人”，而这里需要用名词形式。故答案为display。) 17. rational
(根据空前的“情绪化的”，可知后面是“不是理性的”，即售货员在他们等着付账的过程中巧妙地利用顾客们的购物冲动向他们推销，而不是理性购物，故答案为rational。) 18. some
54 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 (该空需填指代商品的词，由于是不确定的，只是指摆在出口结算处的那些小商品中的一些，泛指时用some，故答案为some。) 19. what
(根据该空所在句的句意“这就是商家和卖者希望顾客们做的事情”，该空在主句中做表语，在从句中做动词hope的宾语，因此只能用what引导的是一个表语从句，故答案为what。) 20. do
(该空指代上文中提到的“suddenly decide to buy some”这个动作，为避免重复，下文中用助动词代替，故答案为do。)
Passage 84 题材：商业经济类 字数：167
In Microsoft’s latest attempt to reach out to bloggers, the company recently gave away expensive laptops loaded __(1)__ its new Windows Vista operating system. But the gifts generated controversy as well as good __(2)__, with some bloggers accusing Microsoft of bribery and their peers __(3)__ unethical behavior.

A spokeswoman for Microsoft confirmed Friday that the __(5)__ had sent out about 90 computers to bloggers __(6)__ wrote about technology and other subjects that could be __(7)__ by the new operating system, like photography and, oddly, parenting.
55 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 But while those on Microsoft’s mailing list initially greeted the machines with enthusiasm, many __(8)__ bloggers soon objected—not because they had been left off the list but, they said, because bloggers are bound by the __(9)__ rules as traditional journalists, who should not accept __(10)__ gifts from companies they cover.
参考答案及解析 1. with
(load sth. with sth. 把…装到…上。) 2. will
(意向。good will 善意。从此文可知，微软送出的这些“礼物”，有的人对其怀友好态度，而有的人则对其表示怀疑。) 3. of
(此处应是accuse Microsoft of their bribery 与accuse their peers of unethical behavior的并列。) 4. for
(sell for 卖（多少钱）。) 5. company
(本句后面提到“送出大概90台电脑”，根据文章可知送出电脑的是微软公司。) 6. who
(此处who引导的限定性定语从句，bloggers作先行词。) 7. affected
(此处可作为解释微软赠送新的操作系统的原因：bloggers写的内容会受这新的操作系统
56 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 的影响。) 8. other
(此处other bloggers与前面those on Microsoft’s mailing list构成对比。) 9. same
(the same as 和…一样。) 10. expensive
(根据上文，这款电脑微软一般要是卖more than $2,200，因此是价格昂贵的。此处讲的是，bloggers与传统记者一样都要遵守一条规约，即不可以接受他们所报道的公司所赠送的昂贵礼物。)
Passage 85 题材：商业经济类 字数：239
Insurance is the sharing of __(1)__ . Nearly everyone is exposed __(2)__ risk of some sort.

On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire or every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a __(6)__ sum of money into a pool, there will be enough to __(7)__ the needs of the few who do suffer __(8)__. In other words the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the __(9)__. This is the basis of __(10)__.

57 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 The __(12)__ for an insurance naturally depends on how the risk is to happen as suggested __(13)__ past experience. If the companies fix their premiums too __(14)__, there will be more competition in their branch of insurance and they may lose __(15)__. On the other hand, if they make the premiums too low, they will not have __(16)__ and may even have to drop out __(17)__ business. So the ordinary forces of supply and. __(18)__ keep premiums at a proper __(19)__ to both insurers and those who __(20)__ insurance.
参考答案及解析 1. risks
(语境搭配题。根据下文中“风险”一词可知，此处应意为“保险就是分担风险”，所以空格处应填risks。) 2. to
(词语搭配题。be exposed to是固定搭配，意为“遭受；暴露于；接触到(作用、影响)”。句意：几乎每个人都会遭受到某种风险。) 3. property／house
(语境搭配题。前面提到了The house owner(房屋拥有者)，并且根据下文可知，所填之词应有“房屋”之意；property可以表示“房地产”的意思。house也可以。) 4. accident／chance
(词语搭配题。by accident\\chance是固定搭配，意为“意外地；偶然地”。这句话中列举了三种人们可能遇到的风险：房屋拥有者知道他的房子也许会被大火毁坏；船主知道他的船只也许会在海上失事；养家糊口的人知道他可能会意外死亡，使得家人生活在贫穷之中。)
58 / 108
5. leave
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 (词语搭配题。参考上题的解析。此处所填是个动词，而且应有“离别(家人)；留下”之意，所以此处应填leave。) 6. small／certain
(词语搭配题。根据语境这里应是“少量的钱\\一定量的钱”，所以是a small\\certain sum of money。句意：如果这些人每人拿出一小笔\\一定的钱聚集起来，就会有足够的钱去满足那些少数遭受损失的人的需求。) 7. meet
(词语搭配题。此处所填是个动词；参考上题解析，此处应为“满足……的需要”，所以meet…the needs符合题意。) 8. loss／losses
(词语搭配题。此处需填个名词或者名词性的词；参考第6题给出的句意，此处应意为“遭受损失”，所以应为suffer loss／losses。) 9. many
(语境搭配题。句意：换句话说，少数人的损失可由多数人的贡献来弥补；此处所填的词应与前面的few意思相反，所以应填many。) 10. insurance
(语境搭配题。保险的作用是本文介绍的主要内容，所以此处应填的是名词insurance“保险”。此句意为：这就是保险的基本原理。) 11. insured
(语境搭配题。本句涉及到保险业的术语：那些交款的人被称作“受保人／被保险人”；而那些管理这些聚集起来的钱的人则被称作“承保人／保险公司”；所以此处应填
59 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 insured“受保人／被保险人”。) 12. premium
(语境搭配题。根据语境，这句话表达的是：保险费自然应根据以往经验估计可能要承担的风险来定。而且，下文紧接着提到fix their premiums(确定他们的保险费)，所以此处应填premium。) 13. by
(词语搭配题。参考上题给出的句意，此处应填的是表示方式或手段的介词，所以应填by“依据，按照”。) 14. high
(语境搭配题。本句与后面的一句话表达相反的意思，所以可以推断出此处应填high，与下一句中的low相对。这句话表达的是：如果保险公司将保险费定得太高，保险业的竞争将更加激烈，他们就有可能失去商机损失金钱”。) 15. business／money
(词语搭配题。参考上题给出的句意，此处所填的是个名词，所以应填business／money。) 16. profit
(语境搭配题。根据语境，本句表达的是：“另一方面，如果(保险)公司将保险费定得太低，他们将无法获取利润，甚至有可能必须退出这一行业。”，所以应填profit。) 17. of
(习惯塔配题。参考上题给出的句意；词组drop out of意为“退出”，所以此处应填介词of。) 18. demand
60 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 (词语搭配题。此句表达的是：“因此，一般供求关系的作用会使保险费对保险公司和投保双方来说都保持在一个适当的水平。”，所以此处所填之词与supply意思相对，所以答案是demand。) 19. level
(词语搭配题。此处所填之词是个名词，参考上题给出的句意；所以此处为at a proper level。) 20. buy
(词语搭配题。此处所填之词是个动词，而且those who ____ (110) insurance应与insurers(保险公司)相对，意为“投保的人”；所以答案为buy。)

Passage 87 题材：教育文化类 字数：312
Motivation is “the driving force within individuals that impels them to action?” And goals are the sought-after results __(1)__ motivated behavior.
Motivation can be either positive or negative__(2)__direction. We may feel a driving force toward some object or condition, __(3)__ a driving force away from some object or condition.

(结构搭配题。此处前后都有逗号，又是另起的一段；根据上下文可知：上一段是对motivation进行解释，本段是对goal进行解释，而且两者之间有相似的内容，所以应填副词too。(too通常位于句末，其前的逗号可有可无；在书面语中，可位于句中，这时其前后一般应有逗号)，also不能前后都加逗号。) 13. which
67 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 (结构搭配题。这句话中的one后面是个定语从句，而且是所填之词与介词toward构成介词短语引出定语从句，因此此处应填关系代词which。) 14. one
(语境搭配题。这句话的句式结构与上句完全一样，这里也是介词from与关系代词which构成的介词短语引出定语从句，所以此处应填被修饰的代词one。) 15. both
(语境搭配题。这句话要表达的是：因为接近目标和回避目标这两者都可以被认为是某种动机的目的，所以大多数研究者就把这两种类型简单地称之为目的。所以所填之词应指前面所提的两种情况，即both，因此答案也为both。) 16. As
(结构搭配题。本题考查的是as+形容词或副词(原级)+as possible的结构，意为“尽可能……”；所以此处应填as。) 17. therefore／so
(结构和语境搭配题。根据语境，此处所填之词后面的内容表示结果，所以此处应填therefore/so与前面的and连接，引导结果状语。) 18. from
(词语搭配题。prevent...from doing是惯用搭配，意为“妨碍／防止……做……”；所以此处应填from。) 19. In
(词语搭配题。这句话是并列复合句，而且表示的是对比关系，此句是将前一种情形与后一种情形进行比较；in the former case表示“在前一种情形下”；in the latter case表示“在后一种情形下”。)

Passage 88 题材：教育文化类 字数：300
Children who grip their pens too close to the writing point are likely to be at a disadvantage in examinations, __(1)__ to the first serious investigation into the way in which writing technique can dramatically affect educational achievement.
The survey of 643 children and adults, ranking from pre-school to 40-plus, also suggests __(2)__ pen-holding techniques have deteriorated sharply over one generation, with teachers now paying far __(3)__ attention to correct pen grip and handwriting style.
Stephanie Thomas, a learning support teacher __(4)__ findings have been published, was inspired to investigate this area __(5)__ he noticed that those students who had the most trouble with spelling __(6)__ had a poor pen grip. While Mr. Thomas could not establish a significant statistical link __(7)__ pen-holding style and accuracy in spelling, he __(8)__ find huge differences in technique between the young children and the mature adults, and a definite __(9)__ between near-point gripping and slow, illegible writing.
People who __(10)__ their pens at the writing point also show other characteristics __(11)__ inhibit learning, __(12)__ as poor posture, leaning too __(13)__ to the desk, using four fingers to grip the pen__(14)__ than three, and

圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 clumsy positioning of the thumb which can obscure __(15)______ is being written. Mr. Thomas believes that the __(16)__ between elder and younger writers is __(17)__ too dramatic to be accounted for simply by the possibility that people get better at writing as they grow __(18)__. He attributes it to a failure to teach the most effective methods, pointing out that the differences between __(19)__ groups coincides with the abandonment of formal handwriting instruction in classrooms in the sixties. “The 30-year-old showed a huge diversity of grips, __(20)__ the over 40s group all had a uniform ‘tripod’ grip.”
参考答案及解析 1. according
(根据空后的serious investigation可知，前面表示“根据，依据”的意思，由to联想到固定短语according to，意为“根据”，所以本句句意为“根据对……的严格调查，……。”) 2. that
(此空作suggests的宾语，空后后的内容为suggests的内容，即此处应填一个引导词引导宾语从句，故用that。) 3. 1ess
(根据此空前面的“deteriorated sharply”可知，现在握笔姿势在这代人身上恶化了不少，推测下句应该表达的是老师越来越不注重握笔姿势和书法了，故此空应填“更少的”，而不是“更多的”，使用less。) 4. whose
(根据句意“Stephanie Thomas，一位学习辅导老师，发现已经发表了……。”可知后面
70 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 的“发现已经发表了”是做定语修饰Stephanie Thomas，而在从句中，该空修饰findings，故空处所填单词必为 whose，引导定语从句。) 5. after
(根据句意为“……他注意到那些拼写有问题的学生也有一个坏的握笔习惯，他受到启发调查这个领域。”，可知他受到启发是在注意到拼写有问题的学生有坏的握笔习惯之后的，故此处应填after。) 6. also
(根据句意表达的是拼写有问题的学生握笔习惯也不好，故此处填also。) 7. between
(根据句意“Thomas先生尽管不能在握笔方式和拼写准确性之间建立重要的统计学联系，……”，可知此处应用介词between，between…and…表示“在……之间”。) 8. did
(根据前半句使用了while，意为“尽管”，可知后面表示强调的语气，did在此处意为“确实”，有强调之意。) 9. 1ink
(7题处的link是提示，在“near-point gripping”和“slow，illegible writing”之间应该是存在联系，故此处应填1ink。) 10. grip
(根据空后的宾语pens可知此空应填一个动词表示“握，拿”的意思，英语中握笔用动词grip。) 11. which
(分析此句句子结构，此空以后的应为定语从句，修饰characteristics，先行词指物，所
71 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 以此空可填which，引导定语从句。) 12. such
(根据空后面的表达“poor posture，leaning too...to the desk，using...”，可知以上均是对characteristics的举例说明，再由空后的as联想到such as，在英语中表示举例。) 13. close
(根据上下文，显然这里指不好的习惯，意为“太靠近桌子”，故应填“close”。) 14. rather
(根据句意“用四个手指握笔而不是三个。”可知该空表示“而不是”，由than想到 rather than，表示“而不是”，符合句意。) 15. what
(考查名词性从句的引导词。此空在主句中做动词obscure的宾语，而在从句中做主语，即“is being written”中缺主语，可做主句的宾语、从句的主语的引导词只有what。) 16. difference
(根据上下文理解可知此处表达的是对老年人和年轻人写字之间进行比较，再由后半句中的“get better at...”可知两者之间是不同的，故此空必为“different”。) 17. far
(该空修饰too，而能修饰too的副词只有far或much。) 18. older
(前文提到实验的对象是不同年龄的人，由此可推测grow只能是年龄越来越大。) 19. age
(上文中多次提到老年人和年轻人，他们是处在不同年龄段的人，故此空应填“age”。) 20. but
72 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 (该空前一句意为“30岁的人表现出非常不同的握笔方式”，后一句意为“超过40岁的人都统一用三个手指握笔。”，显然这里语意发生了转折，故用转折连词but。)
Passage 89 题材：教育文化类 字数：288
You may say that the business of marking books is going to slow down your reading. __(1)__ probably will. That’s one of the __(2)__ for doing it. Most of us have been taken in by the notion that speed of __(3)__ is a measure of our intelligence. There is __(4)__ such things as the right __(5)__ for intelligent reading. Some things should be __(6)__ quickly and effortlessly, and some should be read __(7)__ and even laboriously. The sign of intelligence __(8)__ reading is the ability to read __(9)__ things differently according to their worth. In the __(10)__ of good books, the point is not to see how many of them can you get through, __(11)__ how many can you get through them--how many you can __(12)__ your own. A few friends are __(13)__ than a thousand acquaintances. If this be your goal, __(14)__ it should be, you will not be impatient if it takes more time and effort to read a great book than a newspaper __(15)__
You may have another objection to __(16)__ books. You can’t lend them to your friends __(17)__ nobody else can read them __(18)__ being distracted by your notes. What’s more, you won’t want to lend them because a __(19)__ copy is a kind of intellectual diary, and __(20)__ it is almost like giving your mind away.
If your friend hopes to read your Shakespeare, or The Federalist Papers, tell him,

圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 gently but firmly, to buy a copy. You will lend him your car or your coat--but your books are as much a part of you as your head or your heart.
参考答案及解析 1. It
(文章第一句意为“你可能会说阅读时做标记会减慢你的阅读速度。”本句意为“阅读时做标记会减慢阅读的速度确实可能会发生。”由此可知，该空所填单词应指代上一句话，应用形式主语it代替。) 2. reasons
(该空后的“doing it”指代第一句中slow down your reading，that指代第一句中的business of marking books，由此可知本句意为“这是阅读速度减慢的原因之一。”，故该空应填“原因”，注意在one of后应该接可数名词的复数形式。) 3. reading
(该空前指的是我们大多数人被这种观点蒙蔽，根据前文可知，这种观点与阅读有关，故不难推出这种观点指的是阅读的速度是测量我们智商的标准，故此空应填“阅读”。) 4. no
(由上一句阅读速度被认为是衡量智商的标准，因此可推测本句意为“没有聪明阅读速度这种事情。”，承上启下可知应填no。) 5. speed
(上一句中已经提到“阅读的速度”，故该空应与前面呼应，指的是恰当的聪明阅读速度。) 6. read
(some…and some…连接的句子谈论相同的主题，由37空前面的read可知，在本句此空也应填read。)
74 / 108
7. slowly
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 (由该空后面的的“even laboriously”可知，前面修饰read的副词也应该含有“费力的”意思，不过程度小一些，所以此空填slowly最恰当，read slowly指的是“慢慢精读，仔细的度”。) 8. in
(该句表达的是“阅读时的智商体现”，表示“在……方面”的意思应用介词in。) 9. different
(根据此空后面的“things differently according to their worth”可知，此句指的是以不同的方式阅读不同的东西，故应填different。) 10. case
(固定短语in the case of意为“就……来说，至于”，该句是以好的书籍为例，故用case。) 11. but
(固定结构not...but...意为“不是……而是……”，句意表达的是“对于好书来说，意义不在于你读了多少本，而在于你读懂了多少”。) 12. make
(习惯用法make one’s own此处意为“使……成为你自己的”，此句 意为“有多少书籍能变成你自己的东西。”) 13. better
(上文中讲到读书不在乎你泛泛读了多少本，而在乎你真正理解了多少本，此句作者以交友为例论述同样观点，度此句意为“几个朋友强过成千泛泛之交。”) 14. as
(this代指上文中提到的精读书籍，如果这是你的目标，那么这也应该是你的目标，as it
75 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 should be意为“这也应当是你的目标”。) 15. does
(当同样的动词在句子中重复出现时，可用助动词代替该行为动词，故此处用助动词does指代takes time and effort。) 16. marking
(根据文章第一句话中的“business of marking books”可知，此空应填marking，句意为“你可能还有反对读书做标记的另一个理由。”) 17. because
(空前表达的是你不能把做过标记的书借给朋友，空后表达的是没有人能不受你的标记影响而阅读它们。显然，前一句讲述的是结果，后一句讲述的是原因，前后两句都是独立的句子，故应该用连词because将其连接。) 18. without
(根据句意可知此处表达的是没有人可以阅读做满标记的书籍，而不受其影响。) 19. marked
(根据空后的“a kind of intellectual diary”，可知作者在这里把做满标记的书籍比作一本充满智慧的日记，故该缺应填“标记过的”，即marked。) 20. lending
(根据空后的“it is almost like giving your mind away”，即它就像是把你的心思给别人看，可推知作者仍旧在讲你不肯把做满标记的书籍借给别人的原因，故该空应填lending。)

“The more gadgets there are, the __(1)__ things seem to get.” said Honore Ervin, coauthor of The Etiquette Girls: Things You Need to Be Told. “Just because it’s there __(2)__ your disposal, doesn’t mean you have to use it 24/7.”
A recent __(3)__ by market research company Synovate showed that 70 percent of 1,000 respondents__(4)__ the poorest etiquette in cell phone users over other devices. The worst habit? Loud phone conversations in public places, or “cell yell,” __(5)__ to 72 percent of the Americans polled.
“People use __(6)__ anywhere and everywhere,” Ervin said. “At the movies--turn __(7)__ your cell phone. I don’t want to pay $10 to be sitting next to some guy chitchatting to his girlfriend __(8)__ his cell phone.” This rudeness has deteriorated public spaces, according to Lew Friedland, a communication professor __(9)__ the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

参考答案及解析 1. worse
(考查比较级。“the+比较级，the+比较级”，意为“越…越…，”根据下文，该句表达的是身边的小玩意儿越多，事情似乎就会变得越糟糕。所以此处应填worse，get worse变得更坏，变得更糟糕。) 2. at
(考查固定搭配。at one’s disposal，任某人自由支配、使唤，句意为它可以任由你支配，但并不代表你一天24小时一周七天都必须使用。故此处应填介词at。) 3. poll
(考查名词。根据空后的内容“Synovate市场研发公司的调查显示”，可推测poll的意思为“民意调查”。故答案为poll。) 4. found
(考查动词。根据句意“1，000名受访者中有70％的发现，相对于其他设备来说，在使用手机时人们表现出最差的礼仪”，调查的结果应该是被发现的，故答案为found。) 5. according
(考查副词。根据空后的“72%美国的民意调查”以及前面的结论可知，这里应填according
93 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 to，意为“依据”，是固定短语，即前面的结论都是根据后面的民意调查得出来的。故此处填according。) 6. them
(考查代词。该空做use的宾语，指代上文中提到的人们使用这些小玩意儿，即上文已经提到的gadgets，故这里用代词them代替。) 7. off
(考查固定搭配。根据句意这里应该指在电影院关掉你的手机，turn off意为“关掉”故用副词off。) 8. on
(考查介词。根据句意不难理解，这里指与女朋友在手机上闲聊，在电话中交谈，一般用on the phone。故此处应填介词on。) 9. at
(考查介词。根据句意表示某大学的教授，可知应用介词at， a professor at...university，故答案为介词at。) 10. calls
(考查动词。根据空后的内容“这种缺乏礼节的行为”“一种无意识的无礼”。可知此处教授在定义这种行为，call意为“把…称为”，符合句意，即教授把这种这种缺乏礼节的行为称为一种无意识的无理，主语为第三人称，故所以此处填calls。) 11. as
(考查连词。该空前一句是结果，后一句是原因，此处为因果关系，因此此处应填连词as。) 12. aware
94 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 (考查固定搭配。be aware of意为“意识到”，这里指许多人没有意识到他们自己或者周围的人在做什么。故此处应填aware。) 13. where
(考查定语从句，根据前面提到的plane，train or bus，以及后面的“you’re subjected against…”，可知后面为前面的修饰成分。所以此处应填关系副词引导定语从句，而先行词是表示地点的，故答案为where。) 14. to
(考查固定搭配。be subjected to为固定搭配，意为“使遭受，使服从”， against your will是插入的成分，要学会跨过其他成分寻找主干。故此处应填介词to。) 15. what
(考查what引导的宾语从句。分析句子结构，此空为动词listen to后的宾语，同时在从句中做have的宾语。故此处应填引导词what。) 16. takes
(考查动词。根据空后的“公共场合的空间”，可知这里指，打电话占据了公共场合的空间，但要注意时态，主语it是第三人称单数形式，故此处应填takes。) 17. divide
(考查固定搭配。根据后面的“小的私有的空间”，可推知是把前面的公共空间胡分为小的私有的空间，divide...up into意为“把……划分为”。故此处应填动词divide。) 18. were
(考查被动语态。根据主语是cell phone users，谓语动词是ask，两者之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系，所以应用被动语态表示被动意义，故此处应填were。) 19. comply
95 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 (考查固定搭配。根据句意“他们会很懊恼地服从”，可知此处表示“服从，遵从”的意思，短语comply with符合。故此处应填comply。) 20. normal
(考查形容词。根据上下文可以判断此处句意为“越来越多的人自以为然的对待你，像是你不懂在公共场合大声使用电话是很正常的事情一样”，故此处应填normal。)
Passage 96 题材：社会生活类 字数：318
Here is a great irony of 21st-century global public health: While many hundreds of millions of people lack adequate food as a result of economic inequities, political corruption, or warfare, many hundreds of millions __(1)__ are overweight to the point of increased risk for diet-related chronic diseases. Obesity is a worldwide phenomenon, affecting children as well as adults and forcing all but the poorest countries to divert scarce resources __(2)__ from food security to take care of people with preventable heart disease and diabetes.
To reverse the obesity epidemic, we must address fundamental causes. Overweight comes from consuming more food energy than __(3)__ expended in activity. The cause of this imbalance also is ironic: improved prosperity. People use extra income to eat more and be less active. Market economies encourage this. They turn people with expendable income into consumers of aggressively marketed foods that are high in energy but low in __(4)__ value, and of cars, television sets, and computers that promote sedentary behavior.

圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 is good for business. Food is particularly big business because everyone eats.
Moreover, food is so overproduced that many countries, especially the rich ones, have far more than they need— __(5)__ irony. In the United States, to take an extreme example, most adults—of all ages, incomes, educational levels, and census categories—are overweight. The U.S. food supply provides 3800 kilocalories per person per day, nearly twice as much as required by many adults. Overabundant food forces companies to compete __(6)__ sales through advertising, health claims, new products, larger portions, and campaigns __(7)__ toward children. Food marketing promotes weight gain. Indeed, it is difficult to think __(8)__any major industry that might benefit if people ate less food: certainly __(9)__ the agriculture, food product, grocery, restaurant, diet, or drug industries. All flourish when people eat more, and all employ armies of lobbyists to discourage governments from doing anything to inhibit __(10)__.
参考答案及解析 1. more
(此句意思是“在世界上有数以百万计的人因为经济不平等、政治腐败或战争而得不到足够的食物的时候，更多的数以百万计的人却因体重超标而增加了患与饮食相关的慢性疾病的风险”。填more符合英美表达的习惯，更为自然，也强调了句意。) 2. away
(此句意思是将稀有资源从食品安全中转移出来，以保护人们健康，防止患上心脏病或糖尿病。away from为固定搭配。) 3. is
97 / 108
圣才电子书 www.100xuexi.com 十万种考研考证电子书、题库视频学习平台 (句意：超重是由摄入能量多余活动消耗的能量引起的。主语为单数，选用第三人称is。) 4. nutritional
(句意：这些食物含有极高的能量但却没有什么营养价值。根据句意选择nutritional。) 5. another
(第二段第二句提到ironic，根据上下文承接关系可以得知，这里是讲的是第二处讽刺之处，所以用another。) 6. for
(句意：过多的食物促使公司通过广告……等手段相互竞争以提高销量。compete for (为 ... )争夺，竞争。) 7. directed
(文中所提到的诸如广告、健康需求、新产品等手段都是以孩子们为销售目标的，direct toward指向，对着，这里用被动式做后置定语。) 8. of
(句意：很难想到有什么产业会因为人们吃的东西变少而受益。think of 想出；想起。) 9. not
(承接上文，讲的是不因少吃食物受益的产业，这里为否定意义，使用否定词not。) 10. overeating
(根据上文意思，因为各产业都因为人们过分吃东西而得到繁荣发展，因而此句意思是那些说客劝阻政府做出阻止人们过度饱食的行为。这里应该指人们吃东西的行为，所以填overeating。)

(空格后面是冒号，空格后的内容是对此处的解释，所以空格所填的词指代空格后的内容，所以此处填this指代下文所叙述的内容)。 4. between
(根据语境，这里的意思是“人们的生活情况和他们有多么快乐之间没有关系”，而且后文中出现了and，所以答案是between)。 5. how
(参考上题的解析，此处是副词how修饰形容词)。 6. who

(本句话与前一句形成对比的关系，句意为“我们也认识一些人，他们经历了巨大的痛苦却往往仍然是快乐的”，所以此处填转折连词but)。 9. grateful
(前一句提到“第一个秘诀是感激”，而且后一句也讲到“没有感激之心的人不会幸福”，所以此句的意思是“所有幸福的人都心存感激”，故此处填形容词grateful)。 10. being
