69.Flyingdemandsamuchgreatersupplyofenergy__________(比其他运输方式).

70.Icametotheconclusionthatit__________________________(接受他的提议将是不明智的).

参考答案

1.B解析：根据题干中的信息词atgraduation和dismaljobmarket定位到第一个小标题下的倒数第二段，可知有越来越多的大学生抵押自己的未来以支付高昂的学费和读大学的其他费用，他们毕业时背负着沉重的学生贷款和信用卡债务，更不用提低靡的就业市场了。由此可知，大学生毕业时至少面临三个问题，故该句表述错误。

2.B解析：本题仍需锁定InCourtorOnline?部分。该部分第三段中提到了adultery是夫妻一方可以提出离婚的理由，第四段又补充说，发现adultery行为发生后，分居六个月以上就可以算作“无法忍受”，但如果发现了adultery行为，却仍住在一起六个月以上，离婚的请求将不被接受。题干“发现对方奸情半年内提出离婚都将被批准”与文章事实不符，故答案为N。

3.thoughtfulandwarm-heartedthoughtfulandwarm-hearted解析：通读全文以后，我们可以清楚地看到：作者写这篇文章的目的是向有相同志向的外籍教师提供一些应聘时谈判和签订合同的常识和技巧，并提出，一些具体的和切实可行的建议。这就说明：他是一个关心他人和热心肠的人。

4.B

5.theeffectivenessofmanydrugs/thedrugs'effectivenesstheeffectivenessofmanydrugs/thedrugs'effectiveness解析：细节辨认题。文中提到，最近一些专家认为人们现在有急于治愈各种不适的倾向，并且质疑了很多药物的有效性，故答案为theeffectivenessofmanydrugs或thedrugs'effectiveness。

6.reduceresourceusereduceresourceuse解析：此处要求填入动词性成分与aswellas前的谓语并列。题干中communicate与原文interact同义，对应两者的并列关系，须将原文while后的现在分词短语改为动词原形，可得答案reduceresourceuse。

7.trustedtrusted解析：本题定位词是securitymode，从而锁定BluetoothSecurity部分。该部分第二段第二句提到：Inalmostallcases，Bluetoothuserscanestablish“trusteddevices”thatcanexchangedatawithoutaskingpermission。由此可知，只要蓝牙用户将一些设备设定为“可信任的”，就能实现数据的自由交换了，故本题应填入trusted。

8.2000calories2,000calories解析：根据关键词averagedailyinlakeofcalories定位在文章小标题YourCaloricNeeds下，题干是对该小标题下第一段中的2，000caloriesisaroughaverage…的同义转述。

9.C解析：参见本文倒数第四段最后一句：Domeshavebeendesignedby
