参考答案

1.A解析：从“Warner，with800televisionprogramsinitslibrary，saysitisthelargestTVsyndicator.ItwantstousetheInternettoreachviewersratherthandependonthewhimsofcablenetworksandlocalTVstations.”这句话中，我们可以知道这是争取的选择。

2.D解析：第二句中说斯密是第一位出现在纸币上的经济学家，也可能是最后一个。后面一句用notbecause…butbecause…给出了原因。原因是，已有几千年历史的现金可能在未来15年内变成一串电子数字，也就是本文的主题-电子货币，所以答案是[D]。

3.C解析：细节归纳题。第三段后半部分对孜孜不倦的学生提出警告：“你的自律对你的大学(或是军旅)生活会很有好处，但也许在努力之外，你还可以多一点灵感。记忆的量再大，笔记本里的彩色标记再多，也没办法帮你写出有原创的有自己观点的文章，而这正是你在学习当中的最重要的任务。”由此可见，孜孜不倦型的学习者学习认真努力。但他们的学习方法仅限于记忆老师教过的东西和课本里的知识，所以他们真正缺乏的是C)“独到的见解”。

4.A解析：细节题。题文为“环境的变化可能全导致员工事业的转折”。题干的中心是环境变化会导致什么样的后果。文中提到环境变化是在第二段。其中提到：“环境改变会导致公司的战略转型。但更直接地，还会给公司的员工带来事业的转折”。本段第二句的"they"指代的就是"environmentalchanges"。因此，本题答案为[Y]。

5.sympathysympathy解析：空白处应为名词(词组)。从原文该句末的respondwithsympathy可以知道Dr.Horvitz设计的语音系统可以对病人表示“同情”，此处应填写sympathy。

6.D解析：第二段讲的就是工作压力的后果。第四句提到最严重的(atitsmostextreme)后果就是对心脏和血管增加负担，在有些情况下可能是致命的(maybefatal)。日语karoushi正是“过劳死”的意思，故答案[D]。死亡当然比只是心脏负担要更严重些，所以排除[C]。最高级处设题。题干中的。mostserious对应原文中的mostextreme。

7.deservespecialtreatment/betreatedspeciallydeservespecialtreatment/betreatedspecially解析：第2个小标题Legalproblems部分的第2段最后两句：“Existingregulationswilladdressmuchofthechallenge,”saysMrAngle.“I'mnotyetconvincedthatrobotsaresufficientlydifferentthattheydeservespecialtreatment”根据so…asto…结构推测，空白处应该是动词或动词词组。再根据题目中大写的ColinAngle定位答案所在的段落，可发现原文的different后面是从句结构，因此题目只需相应填上从句中的谓宾部分，或者也可以把原文deservespecialtreatment改写成betreatedspecially。

8.C解析：文章第五自然段虽提及看台上观众的暴力行为，但没有提及其很大程度上与社会群体有关而非由体育运动造成。

9.overalongtimeoveralongtime解析：由题干中的Alargesumofmoney定位到第三个小标题下第3段首句Theresearchneededtoanswerquestionsaboutlasti
