O)underestimate

1、[Cl]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：此空为“spendtimedoing”的结构.所以应用动词ing形式。再根据后

面紧接宾语grandkids可知，应选spoiling(宠爱)，意为“花更多时间去宠孙子

2、[C2]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：此空后接形容词different,可知需填副词。选项中mysteriously（神秘

地）、radically（根本地）、separately（分开地），能与differentideas构成搭配，花合句

意的是radically表示夫妻在此问题上有着根本不同的观点。因此，正确答案是K。

3、[C3]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：此处缺少谓语动词，且要与on构成搭配，可知为不及物动词。

disagreeon（执不同意见），符合原文、、夫妻对于退休时是否继续工作存在异议”之

意。因此，正确答案是C。

4、[C4]

标准答案：O

知识点解析：此空为谓语动词，且but为并列连词，前半句为一般现在时，此空也

应用动词原形。把握此句大意的关键点在于but,前半句表达妻子一般能正确判断

丈夫的退休年龄，由此可推断出丈夫不能准确判断。选项中underestimate（低估）符

合此意。因此，正确答案是0。

5、[C5]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：此空为表语，且前面有副词slighUy修饰，可知此空应填形容词。选

项中confidential（机密的）、forthcoming（即将到来的）、optimistic（乐观的），和后面生

活标准构成搭配的只有“乐观的”符合。因此，正确答案是I。

6、[C6]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：此空与副词together构成并列，因此，应保持词性一致。or连接相反

的含义，separably与logelher恰互为相反状态，因此，止确答案是M,

separately（由•独地）。

7、[C7]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：此空为该句谓语，所以需填动词。时态与并列的后半句保持一致，为

一般现在时。此句含义“他们以为他们意见一致“，可知assume（假设）更符合此意。

因此，正确答案是A。

8、[C81

标准答案：L

知识点解析：前一句表达他们以为意见一致，是自己认为与想象的，but转折语

气，可知事实上相反。此句意为“事实是他们甚至都没有谈论这个话题”。因此，正

确答案是L,teality（事实）。

9、［C9］

标准答案：E

知识点解析：此空后接名词“退.休日期“，可知需填形容词。此句意为“常常是马

上要来临的退休日成为退休计划的催化剂即人们在接近退休时才会被迫开始做

计划。因此,正确答案是E,forthcoming（即将到来的）。

10、［C10］

标准答案：j

知识点点斤：此空前的冠词an透露簟要填写可数名词单数，符合条件的有

formula（公式），package［包裹，一揽子计划），结合上下文可知caHy-retiremcnt

package意为“提前退休计划”，因此，正确答案是J。

L)inslructionM)happierN)InspiteO)improve

11、[CI]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：空前是情态动词could和副词significantly,空后是名词happiness,

故此处应填一个动词，文章第一段提到把钱花在别人身上可以买到快乐，由此可推

知.每天为别人花5美元可以增加快乐感。选项中，B项boost意为“增加，促

进”,O项improve意为“改善,提高”，improve和boost均可以用来修饰

happiness,不过boost语气更强烈，与文市空前副词significantly相呼应，更符合

句意。因此选择boost"增加，促进

12、[C2]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：空前是be动词were,空后是形容词比较级happier,则此处应填一个

副词，联系上下文，可准知此句意为“即使实验对象认为为自己花钱会更快乐，但

实际结果显示，他们为别人花钱时其实更加快乐D项actually意为“事实上，实

际上因此选择actually”事实上，实际上

13、[C3]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：空前是动宾结构，则此处应填一个动词或形容词，该空所在句破折号

前句意为“实际结果显示，他们为别人花钱时其实更加快乐”，破折号后是由evenif

引导的与前半句意思相反的句子，由此可推知，此空所在句意为“即使实验对象认

为为自己花钱会更快乐”。M项happier意为“更快乐的因此选择happier”更快乐

的”。

14、[C4]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：空前是人祢代词ihey,they前是名词money,那么此处应填一个动

词，和they结合构成money的后置定语，此空所在句是由asimportantas将前后部

分联系起来，此空和spend对应，花钱和赚钱对应，则此处应填earn。因此选择

earn“获得，挣得

15、[C5]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：空前是asksb.to结构,空后是名词〔heirgeneralhappiness,则此处

应填一个动词，根据下一段内容“为别人花更多钱的人称自己的快乐感增强，而为

自己花较多钱的人则没有这种感受这是作者对志愿者针对自己快乐感的评价的

转述，C项rale意为“评价”。因此选择rate“评价”。

16、[C6]

标准答案：1

知识点解析：根据此空所在句后半句内容“为别人花更多钱的人称自己的快乐感增

强，而为自己花较多钱的人则没有这种感受。”可推知，前半句应是一个让步状语

从句，I项regardless与空后of结合构成短语regardlessof,意为“无论，不管，因

此选择regardless”不管,不顾”。

17、[C7]

标准答案；H

知识点解析：空前是profit-sharing（分红制），空后是具体的金额范围，则此处应填

一个与金钱有关的名词，选项中H项bonus意为“奖金”，加之下文中多次出现

bonus,故bonus符合题意。因此选择bonus“奖金

18、[C8J

标准答案：G

知识点解析:空前是定语从句引导词who,空后是名词moreoftheirbonus,则此

处应填一个动词，联系上下文推知此句意为“这些员工领到奖金后，将较多钱花在

别人身上的人快乐感更强”，选项中G项devoied意为“奉献”，与介词to搭配，意

为“将……奉献给……”，符合题意。因此选择devoted“奉献”。

19、[C9]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：空前是形容词important,空后是介词of.则此处应填一个名词，联

系上下文推知，此句意为'、他们支配这笔钱的方式比奖金本身的多少对快乐感的影

响更大。”选项中K项prediclor意为“预测器”，即他们支配这笔钱的方式是更重要

的快乐感的预测器，这是一种打比方的说法，符合原文意思。因此选择

predictor“预测器”。

20、[C10]

标准答案：L

知识点解析：空前是形容词clear,空后是介词。n,则此处应填一个名词，根据此

段已有内容“研究人员向志愿者们分发了5美元至20美元金额不等的钱……结果发

现，将钱用于别人或其池事情的人感到更快乐.”推知，研究人员告诉其中一组人

花钱的方式，这样才会使两组实验人员形成对比。L项instruction意为”指示，指

导”,符合文意。因此选择instruction”指示,指导”。

21、[Cl]

标准答案：j

知识点3析：本文主要讲述了不良的饮食习惯导致工作效率下降的问题.由此可推

知，此空所在句意为“三分之一的上班族早上宁愿多睡几分钟，也不愿起床吃早

餐”。选项中，J项extra意为“额外的”,符合句意。因此选择extra“额外的”。

22、[C2]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：空前是形容词losl(丧失的)，则此处应填一个名词，结合句意推知，

员工不良的饮食习惯导致工作效率丧失，从而给公司造成了巨大损失。M项

productivity意为“效率，生产力”，符合句意。因此选择productivity“效率，生产

力”。

23、[C3]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：空前的中心词是名词officestaff,空后是动词skip,则此处应填一个

副词，修饰动词skip,根据后半句中的withthesepooreatinghabits可推知，此处指

的是不良的饮食习惯，那么应该指经常不吃午餐的员工。I项regularly意为“经常

地”，符合句意。因此选择regularly“经常地”。

24、[C4I

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此空所填的词与副词never并列，故应填一个具有否定意义的副词，

选项中，只有B项rarely(很少地)是具有否定意义的副词，填进去后句意为“令人担

忧的是，在那些很少或从来不吃午餐的人中，27%的人也从不吃早餐。符合原文意

思，因此选择rarely“很少地”，

25、[C5]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：空前的中心词是Thesurvey,空后是省略掉【hat的从句，故此处应填

一个动词，根据前文类似句子“withthesepooreatinghabitsestimatedtobecosting

companies17billionpounds($34billion)ayearor97millionlostworkingdays.结合备

选动词中C项estimated“估计”，K项specified“明确”，O项rocketed“快速增加”可

知，C项动词estimated符合题意。

26、[C6]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：此空所填词和ability并列，故应填一个名词，根据常识判断，不吃

早餐的人很难长时间集中注意力，也就是“是否吃早餐与注意力集中时间长度、学

习能力及总体幸福感有关”。选项中N项span意为“跨度，范围”，符合句意。因此

选择span“跨度，范围”。

27、[C7]

标准答案：0

知识点解析：空前句意为“如果将其他一些不良的饮食习惯也算上，如早餐和午餐

都不吃或不吃早餐而吃零食，公司所遭受的损失……”，空后是具体数据：近170

亿英镑，与上一段中提到的“81亿英镑”对比，突显出损失额的增加幅度之大。选

项中O项rocketed有“快速增加”之意，与介词to搭配，意为“迅速增加到"，符合

句意。因此选择rocketed''快速增加”。

28、[C8]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：空前主谓结构完整，空后中心词是drinks,故此处应填一个形容词，

根据常识，科学的饮水习惯是每天喝八杯水左右，即每天喝八杯水左右是受人推荐

的饮水习惯。选项中，F项recommended意为“被推荐的”，符合句意。因此选择

recommended”被推荐的

29、[C9]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：空前中心词是be动词are,空后是形容词energetic,故此处应填一个

副词.吃早餐的人更具活力，当然指的是身体状态，A项physically意为“身体上

地”，符合句意。因此选择physically”身体上地”。

30、[C10]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：空前句结沟完整，空后是名词theirproductivity.则此处应填一个动

词的现在分词形式，表伴随意义。根据此段内容“研究人员称，不吃早餐的人记忆

力测试得分约低15%。血且早上小吃饭的人之后可能会吃甜食和高脂肪食

品……”，可知，前后两甸是递进关系，故此句应为否定意义，即“降低他们的效

率”,G项reducing意为“减少”，符合句意。因此选择reducing"减少
