参考答案

1.communicateandplantogethercommunicateandplantogether解析：在本文的第十二段中提到：“Thepoint，saysSchwab-Pomerantz，istogetanideaofeachother'smoneypersonality…”。这段话的大意是：一个人花钱的方式可以反映出一个人的个性特征。

2.fashionmagazineweightfashionmagazineweight解析：由题干关键词healthyweight定位到第九个小标题下第一段第三句。我们需要认识到的是健康的体重不是时尚杂志上那些模特的体重。

3.brainless(foolish/stupid/silly)brainless(foolish/stupid/silly)解析：本题空白处问“birdbrain这个词用来描述什么样的人”。文中提到“birdbrain”是在第五段，提到“‘birdbrain’这个词被认为是一种侮辱，但实际上，一些鸟类还是非常有头脑的”。由转折连词“but”判断，“birdbrain”应该与“brainy(有头脑的)”表意相反。因此，答案为brainless或者表示愚笨的词foolish/stupid/silly等。

4.residentialsegregationresidentialsegregation解析：文章最后一部分一开始就提到黑人的问题"Thegrowingsegmentoftheblackcommunitythatisgoingtocollege,enteringthemiddleclassandmovingouttothesuburbsisalsofollowingthegeneraltrendtowardintermarriage.ThistendencyisparticularlynoticeableinCaliforniaandcitiessuchasDallas(Texas),LasVegas(Nevada)andPhoenix(Arizona),whereresidentialsegregationhasbeenlesspronouncedthanintheoldernortheasternandMidwesternU.S.cities"表明异族通婚趋势在加利福尼亚以及一些城市如得克萨斯州达拉斯(Dallas.Texas)、内华达州拉斯维加斯(LasVegas.Nevada)和亚利桑那州菲尼克斯(Phoenix.Arizona)尤其明显,因为它们和美国东北部及中西部的老城市相比,居住隔离的情况没有那么突出。这从反面衬托出事实“在居住地隔离不是十分严重的城镇,黑人更有可能拥有异族配偶”。

5.threemonthsthreemonths解析：本题定位词是Scotland和adultery，从而锁定DivorceinScotland部分。该部分第三段提到，如果发现配偶有奸情但是仍与其继续婚姻生活三个月以上的，将不能以该奸情为理由提出离婚。由此可推断，发现通奸情况三个月内提出离婚应该是满足法律要求的，即使仍然生活在一起，故本题应填入threemonths。

6.B解析：根据定位词是Bluetooth和Connecteddevices，与蓝牙的连接设备有关，也应锁定BluetoothOperation部分。该部分第四段前两句提到，Bluetoothcanconnectuptoeightdevicessimultaneously…youmightthinkthey'dinterferewithoneanother，butit'sunlikely。由此可知，蓝牙连接的这些设备之间不会相互干扰。题干表述的意思和文中的内容相反，因此答案为N。

7.riseorfallofcoastalwatersriseorfallofcoastalwaters解析：空白处应为定语从句，可能包括主谓成分，也可能只包括谓语成分。根据题眼定位原文后可以发现，题目的定语从句的内容应该与原文该段首句中tsunami的修饰成分相同，所不同的是原文该修饰成分为后置的分词短语作定语，而题目要求将其改写为从句，因此只要在原文该分词结构前加上be动词are，就可与题目中的mat构成完整的定语从句。

8.easedownatasmoothangleeasedownatasmoothangle解析：定位到文章第十一段末句；可知飞行员可以通过选择合适的角度下降来减少噪音。

9.C解析：由“WaterClocks”部分第一句“‘Waterclocks’wereamongtheearliesttimekeepingdevicesthatdidn'tusetheobservationofthecelestialbodiestocalculatethepassageO{time．”可见水钟是不靠观察天体来测量时间的最早的设备之一。但文章并没有进一步提供信息说它是否是第一个这样的计时设备。因此信息不充分，本题判断为NOTGIVEN。

10.passiveverbphrasespassiveverbphrases解析：题干考查对"Itwouldseemthat"修辞的界定。由原文定位句尤其Forexample可知，"Itwouldseemthat"是对上文的举例说明，再加上其后括号加注(passiveverbphrase)，故可推知该句运用了passiveverbphrases，也即本题答案为passiveverbphrases。

11.fearsandexcusesfearsandexcuses解析：空前的by表明，本空应填一名词(短语)。题干中的fascinatedtotravel与第二句提到的desiretotravel对应，those…areheldbackfromtravelingaroundtheworldby…与…preventpeoplefromdoingit对应，故prevent的主语fearsandexcuses即为本题答案。

12.gointohardsciencegointohardscience解析：根据题干中的信息词cuttingbudget和smothersincentives定位到第二个小标题下的最后两段，可知美国总统布什提议削减国家重点科研机构的研究、发展预算，这将导致相关机构的裁员，也会压制学生学习自然科学的动机。

13.anewwayofusingtheoldtypesofpunishmentanewwayofusingtheoldtypesofpunishment解析：此空答案见文章倒数第三段的一、二句。仅在周末服刑的方式是旧式惩罚方法的一种新的形式。

14.D解析：根据“TheBBC'sEfforts”部分第二段可知“Hammocking”是将有深刻思想、有价值的节目穿插在大众流行剧之间(schedulingwonhymaterialbetweensmashhits)，BBC这样安排的目的是让观众有机会观看高质量的节目(inanefforttogetpeopletowatchimprovingstuff)。

15.morescariermorescarier解析：参见第13段第1句：Unfamiliarthreatsaresimilarlyscarierthanfamiliarones。正如慢性致死的因素比快速致死的因素更使人可怕，不熟悉的威胁比熟悉的威胁更吓人。

16.bothindividualsandcompaniesbothindividualsandcompanies解析：文章第十一段说，“Thejudges’creativityisnotreservedforindividualsonly；lawbreakingcompaniesalsocanreceivealternativesentences”，可见它对个人和公司都适用。
