13.A

14.B

15.A

16.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”。

17.surveysurvey解析：根据后面的数据，空缺处指的是1993年的一项调查问卷，所以此处应填“survey”。

18.somesome解析：关键是注意and前后一致。“somerationaland…emotional”，前面说促使顾客购买的动机有很多，有的是理性的，有的却是冲动。所以这里应该是some。故答案为some。

19.AsAs解析：此句意为“…后一种观点的例子，…”显然，空处应填“作为”。

20.worseworse解析：“the+比较级，the+比较级”，意为“越…越…，”根据上下文，本句句意为“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”。

21.reusereuse解析：由后一句“今天几乎每件东西都可以被扔掉。”可知，“…任何东西不再明智了。”中的空处应为“再利用”，这样前后两句逻辑上才能合理。

22.dumpingdumping解析：由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质…人河流和湖泊，…”可知，此空处显然应为“倒”。又因为介词后只能用dumping，而不能用dump。

23.whichwhich解析：此空后的句子应为定语从句，修饰“tokeneconomies”，故此空应填一个可引导定语从句的词，而且前面可加介词in。

24.suchsuch解析：“such…as”用来举例子。所以此处应填“such”。

25.toto解析：besubjectedto为固定搭配，“使遭受，使服从”的意思，要学会跨过其他成分寻找主干。所以此处应填介词“to”。

26.D解析：由D中的最后一段“Considerations…,onhowviolencecandestroyahumansoul，…”可知。

27.C解析：由文章第二段可知C不对，而A、B、D文中均提到了。

28.FF解析：此空填入F，上下文衔接，意思连贯。

29.AA解析：由此空的上下两段可以得到答案。上段说的如何去看人的两种方法，而后面的一段接着说的地点问题。所以这里的“dependingonwherethemeetingtakesplace.”符合句意，故应选A。

30.C解析：由第二段最后一句“Toreceiveareturnontheirinvestment，wisecorporateexecutiveofficersarerealizingwhatindustrialistsandagriculturistslearnedlongago--efficienttoolsareessentialforincreasedproductivity．”可知。

31.D解析：由短文第六段可知答案为D。

32.A解析：划线单词所在句子句意为“事情的另一面是：保险公司已经开发了一些很有创造性的，能与其他替代产品，诸如投资竞争的产品。它们能够满足任何一种全面投资计划的需求。”可见“它们”即指“creativeandcompetitiveinsuranceproducts”。

33.C解析：由C中的第一段第一句话“Chicago，thesecondlargestcityinpopulationintheUnitedStates，”可知答案为C。

34.C解析：由C中的第二段“Itisnowconsideredthecenterofindustry，transportation，commerceandfinanceinthemid—westarea．”可知答案为C。

35.A解析：第六段中男主人看到清理垃圾的车，误以为是M
