13.Juniorcolleges/non-degreeprograms

14.A

15.C

16.firstfirst解析：根据题意，作者想在这里做一个比较，而比较的对象是目的。这里作者仅仅给出了两个目的，所以这里是和第一个目的进行比较。故答案为first。

17.proportionproportion解析：此处意为很大比例的学生仍然喜欢简单的工作，所以此处应填“proportion”。

18.FortunatelyFortunately解析：由本句句意“…可以看到有解决办法的希望了。”可知，此空应填“幸运的是”。

19.onon解析：focuson意为“集中于”，为固定短语。

20.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”。

21.importantimportant解析：从本句后面的一句话可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson就算是重要的人物，他们也不会把这种显赫写在脸上。所以前面应填important。故答案为important。

22.whatwhat解析：此题考查what引导的宾语从句。要注意分析句子中的成分，此空为listento后的宾语。所以此处应填引导词“what”。

23.ofof解析：“对现实的了解”的英文表达是“theunderstandingofreality”，这里的介词用of。故答案为of。

24.onon解析：focuson意为“集中于”，为固定短语。

25.takestakes解析：要注意时态，这里意为“占据”，所以所以此处应填“takes”。

26.A解析：文中提到“…urgedcautioninensuringthateffortstoprotectournationdonotresultinbroadgovernmentauthoritytoerodeprivacyrightsofU．S．citizens．”其意思是“保护国家的利益也不应该伤害美国居民的个人隐私权利”，可知作者认为这项提议是不公正的。故应选A。

27.C解析：通过全文的理解，我们可以发现作者在列数了经济形势不好的局面之后，也表明了人们对此依然存在着乐观态度，有的人还能从中受益，所以作者的态度应该是“对此加以注意，但不要惶恐。”故应选C。

28.C解析：文章开始就提出“WhatnewvaluesshouldAmericansadopt?”指出美国人应该具有什么样的价值观念。接着作者列出了自己的观点，所以整个文章是围绕着“价值观念”的论点展开。故应选C。

29.CC解析：由上下两段看，只有C放在此处可以使上下文衔接，意思连贯。

30.B解析：由B中的第一段“Globalenvironmentalproblemsariseoutoftheaccumulatedimpactsfrommanyyears’andmanycountries’economicdevelopment．”可知。

31.B解析：由短文第一段最后一句“Exoticplastics，glassandceramicswillshapethefuturejustassurelyashavegeneticengineeringandcomputerscience．”可知，本文提到了三种新材料。

32.A解析：从文章最后一句话“BecauseofHome'semphasiscrucialtoanystudyofart，thetwentiethcenturyhascometoappreciateBotticelli'sachievements.”可以看出，作者认为波提切利的作品在二十一世纪会被重新的认识，人们会重新认识他作品的成就。故应选A。

33.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。

34.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
