14.Answerstoquestions

15.D

16.takestakes解析：要注意時態(tài)，這里意為“占據(jù)”，所以所以此處應(yīng)填“takes”。

17.thoughthough解析：本句話的意思是“盡管知道顧客們可能不知道自己為什么買了這些商品，但是賣家卻知道怎么去做?！惫蚀鸢笧閠hough。

18.outout解析：handout意為“分發(fā)，施舍”，為固定短語。

19.toto解析：revertto意為“重想，重提”，此句意為“如果你經(jīng)常提到‘我們以前已經(jīng)試著這樣做了，但是不管用’就會很快地挫傷這種好問的頭腦”。

20.whowho解析：此空后的句子顯然為定語從句，修飾“Behaviorists”，所以應(yīng)填一個who，引導(dǎo)修飾人的定語從句。

21.somesome解析：這里需要填寫的是商品的名稱，就是說擺在出口結(jié)算處的那些小商品。泛指時用some。故答案為some。

22.dividedivide解析：根據(jù)上下文語境，這里是“分為”，divide…upinto意為“把…劃分為”。所以此處應(yīng)填動詞“divide”。

23.proportionproportion解析：此處意為很大比例的學(xué)生仍然喜歡簡單的工作，所以此處應(yīng)填“proportion”。

24.customercustomer解析：從這個句子的賓語“…thatheorshehasdoneagoodjobofchoosingtheitems.”可以看出，這里說的是顧客的行為，他們認(rèn)為自己買這些商品是很理性的。故答案為customer。

25.andand解析：“both…and…”為固定搭配，“兩者都”。所以此處應(yīng)填“and”。

26.A解析：由A中的最后一句話“…withafictionalTVwitchbeingplayedbyanhonest-to-Godreallifewitch．”可知。

27.A解析：“Itwaslikeofferingtodropasafeonmyheadtocuremyheadache．”意為“就像給我提供一個保險箱放我頭上來治愈我的頭痛一樣?！焙钪S刺地說技術(shù)員提供的建議不可采取。所以本題應(yīng)選A。

28.A解析：由A中最后一句“TheCollegehasanationalreputationforthequalityofitsdyslexiaprovision．”可知。

29.B解析：由第一段可知，兩人是因為肥胖而被送進(jìn)醫(yī)院的，故B項正確。A、C項文章中未提到。兩
