14.A

15.Completelyseparate/exclusive．

16.whowho解析：此空后的句子应为teacher的定语从句，故此空处应填who，引导修饰人的定语从句。

17.onon解析：focuson意为“集中于”，为固定短语。

18.whowho解析：此空后的句子显然为定语从句，修饰“Behaviorists”，所以应填一个who，引导修饰人的定语从句。

19.whatwhat解析：这句话的意思是“这就是商家和卖者希望顾客们做的事情”，what引导的是一个表语从句，故答案为what。

20.betweenbetween解析：“…relation…actionsandtheirconsequences”意为“…行动和它们的结果…关系”，空处显然缺“之间”。

21.againstagainst解析：guardagainst意为“防止，防范，警惕”，为固定短语，against也可以省略。

22.wherewhere解析：此题考查where引导的定语从句，修饰前面提到的plane，trainorbus。所以此处应填关系副词“where”。

23.toto解析：“attributeto”意为“把某事归因于”，为固定搭配，所以此处应填“to”。

24.whichwhich解析：由37题解析可知此空应为一个引导定语从句的词，即which，其后的定语修饰“several(typesofcontamination)”。

25.byby解析：由日本政府收集的数据。考查被动语态的用法，“由…”用介词“by”。所以此处应填“by”。

26.C解析：瓦萨利在文中第一段说到“VasariexpressedanuneasewithBotticelli'swork，…”说明他的态度是反对的，后来在最后一段中间部分“However,HomearguedthatBotticelli…emphasizedcleardepletionofastory,auniqueachievement…”表明霍姆的态度是肯定的。故应选C。

27.D解析：根据这篇文章，普遍认为大脑的区别由什么因素引起的?短文第三段倒数第二句话说“Wetendtothinkthat，istheinfluenceofsocietythatproducesthesedifferences．”即我们认为社会的影响造成了这些区别。A、B、c均不符合题意。所以本题应选D。

28.EE解析：文章的最后一段中指出“averyfew”、“theelitefew”，而选项中的“averysmallgroupof‘scholars’”也正是指出了这种情况，故应选E。

29.C解析：由C中的第一段最后一句话“Thissourcebook…andprovidespolicyadvice，includingtheuseofcleantechnologiesandenvironmentallysoundproductiontechniques，…”可知。

30.C解析：由第一段可知NAAFA认为肥胖无害，故A项是错误的。B项文章中未提到。第一段倒数第二句话说到基因决定人的胖瘦，故C项是正确的。NAAFA只是认肥胖对人体无害，并没有说有好处，故D项是错误的。

31.EE解析：文章第一段讲述了毒藤会使人过敏产生疹子，第三段提到85％的人对毒藤中的umshiol过敏，选项E介绍了urushiol一词的来源，并且介绍了毒藤使人过敏的根本原因就是毒藤中含有这种化学物质。所以本题应选E。

32.B解析：由B中“Thesesellforanythingbetween￡2millionand￡5million．”，每套住房销售价格在200万英镑到500万英镑之间不等，极其昂贵。所以此处答案为B。

33.D解析：由文章最后一段中的“Thepositivesideofitistherearebetterproducts—they'recheaperandmoreflexible．”可知。

34.A解析：文章第三段提到
