别的无法构成这样的句型。
13. C避免这些情绪应该不会太难(difficult),而不是easy :容易,willing:自愿,terrifying:令人害怕。
14. D你做的每件事都会在周围人有影响(have an effect on),而不是effort:努力,mark:记号,damage:损害。 15. A是喜笑颜开(smile)还是怒气冲冲?都会影响到别人是开心还是难过,cry:哭喊,shout:大叫,talk:谈话,显得不行。 16. B 花些时间去倾听(listen to ),而不是攻击(attack),改变(change),采访(interview)。 17. A如果他们的生活中有太多的矛盾和别扭,鼓励(encourage)他们用乐观的态度去面对,根本不是打败(defeat),培训(train),停止(stop)。
18. B 全世界大多数人都在为和平(peace)而奋斗,而不是为了战争(war),争斗(fight),谈判(talk)。
19. C 无论是一家人围坐(seated)在饭桌前,还是国家级领导人围坐着会议桌前,他们的目的是一样的——追求和平,总不能被安排(arranged),被达到(reached),被装上(loaded)吧。
20. A所以,让我们每个人拿和平,和谐为基调来开创(create)我们的生活乐章吧!像发明(invent),寻找(seek),保护(protect)等等明显不行。
Passage 6
Last year, I was speaking at a gathering of wealthy male investors. The organizers posted the 1 of a survey showing that only a small percentage of wealthy men believed their wives spent too much.
'What?' 2 one participant. 'Those guys have to be lying.'
There is no reliable 3 of who spends more among the rich: men or women. Both will say the other is the 4 spender. A recent survey by Wilmington Trust, Campden Research and Relative Solutions proves the 5 . The companies polled 40 women (I know, that is more like a show of hands than 'survey'), each with a net worth of $25 million or more. About half the respondents(受调查者) inherited(.继承) their 6 , a quarter 7 it from their husbands and the other quarter earned it 8 . That is roughly in line with other surveys of 9 women and the source of their money. One interesting note: among the self-made women, 90% got their money from owning a business, rather than 10 a salary. As for 11 , almost all the women (90%) described their spending habits as 'below their means.' The report on the survey said that is 'possibly 12 they do not view their extreme wealth as defining their success.
'Women tend not to spend as much as 13 and splash(泼洒得使到处是) their names all over the place,' said one woman in the survey, describing her spending as conservative and he lifestyle as 'below the radar.'
Many women also worried about wealth having 14 effects on their children and didn't want to spend lavishly(挥霍) to 15 a bad example. At the same time, 70% of the women said they 'buy nice things when 16 .' And 93.5% of the women said they were responsible for making 17 on major purchases, which 18 that they do a lot of the big spending.

答案及解析
本文用调查的结果,说明只有很小一部分富翁认为自己的太太花钱太多。完成本题要结合现实生活中男女不同花钱习惯。
1. A组织者公布了一项调查的结果(results),而不是原因(reasons),次数(times),方向(directions)。 2. C有钱,但不显摆没人相信,故一位与会人士大叫道(shout):什么?那些家伙肯定在说谎。哭叫(cried),叹息(sighed),大笑(laughed),都不足以说明他的惊讶。
3. B目前还没有可靠的方法(measure)来评断富人堆里谁花钱更多:是男性还是女性。数据(data),分离(division),新闻(news)就更不行了。
4. B双方都会说对方是个较大的(bigger)花钱者。就两类人没法最大的(biggest),较少的(smaller)不符合常识,较坏的(worse)就更没道理了。
5. C由Wilmington Trust、Campden Research和Relative Solution最近联手进行的一项调查证明了上述观点(point)。物质(matter),信息(message),(报道report)显得不伦不类。 6. B约有一半的被调查者的财产(money)是继承而来,全文都说的是钱,而不是精神(spirit),习惯(habit),成本(cost)。
7. C四分之一得(got)自丈夫,剩下的四分之一是自己赚的。根本不是买来的(bought),更不是抢来的(robbed),后面才说的是自己挣来的(earned)。
8. D剩下的四分之一是自己(是多个受调查者当然用themselves)赚的,而不能用它自己(itself),她自己(herself),我们自己(themselves)。

9. A这与我们对富有(wealthy)女性及其财富来源的调查基本相符。全是对有钱人的调查,而不是穷人(poor),普通人(ordinary),和诚实的人(honest)。 10. B 90%是自己当老板开公司赚的,而不是靠挣(earning)工资得来的。不可能是开(making)工资,带走(taking)工资,花(spending)工资就更不对了。 11. C至于支出(spending),几乎所有女性(90%)都说自己的支出习惯是量入为出。前文说的是挣钱,这儿是说花钱,而不是买(buying),浪费(wasting),节约(saving)。
12. D调查报告中说,这可能是因为(because)她们并不认为自己的极大财富就是成功的全部意义所在。当??时候(when),如果(if),是否(whether),明显不适合这儿的语意。 13. D女性往往没有男性(men)花钱多,也不会四处宣扬自己。全文都是那男女相比,并不是女的和女的(women),年轻人(youth),还有成年人(adults)比。
14. C很多女性也担心财富会对孩子造成不良(bad)影响,而不是严肃的(serious),好的(good),各种各样的(various)影响。
15. B所以不希望乱花钱,以免给孩子树立(set an example是固定短语)坏榜样。送(send),做(do),给(give)都不和an example搭配构成这个意思的短语。
16. A与此同时,70%的女性说,她们会在必要的(necessary)时候买好东西,而不是比较不合理的可能的(possible)时候,高兴的(pleased)时候,焦急的(anxious)时候。 17. B有93.5%的女性说,买大件的主意(即是决定decisions)都是由她们定,计划(plans),指定(appointments),建议(suggestions)都没用这个更合理,因为是花钱购置东西,是一个行动的结果。
18. C这暗示(implies)她们经常花钱买大件。并没有直接这样说,故不是注意到(notices),强调说(stresses),打算(intends)之意。
19. B当然,对于真正的大件──比如在科罗拉多州买座房子,一架湾流(Gulfstream)私人飞机,一艘Feadship游艇,夫妇两人可能会一起(together)作决定,根本不是远处(away),也一样(as well),出去(out)之意。
20. A不过买其他东西(要买的东西就是purchases)的时候呢?你认为男性还是女性的高端花销更多?影响(effects),不同(differences),例子(examples)统统不符合逻辑。
Passage 7
Romance does not have to fizzle out(失败) in long-term relationships and progress into a companionship/friendship-type love, a new study has found. Romantic love can last a lifetime and lead to happier, healthier 1 . \ 2 love is the same as passionate(多情的)love,\Bianca P.

Passionate or obsessive love includes 3 of uncertainty and anxiety. This kind of love 4 drive the shorter relationships but not the longer ones.\
These findings 5 in the March issue of Review of General Psychology, published by the American Psychological Association.
Acevedo and co-researcher Arthur Aron, PhD, reviewed 25 studies with 6,070 individuals in short- and long-term relationships to 6 whether romantic love is associated with more satisfaction. To determine this, they 7 the relationships in each of the studies as romantic,

The researchers looked at 17 short-term relationship studies, which included 18- to 23-year-old college students who were 8 , dating or married, with the average relationship lasting less than four years. They also 9 at 10 long-term relationship studies including middle-aged couples who were typically married 10 years or more. Two of the 10 ncluded both long- and short-term relationships in which it was possible to distinguish the two samples.
The review found that those who reported greater romantic love were more 11 in both the short- and long-term relationships. Companion-like love was only moderately 12 with satisfaction in both short- and long-term relationships. And those who reported greater passionate love in their relationships were more satisfied in the short term 13 to the long term.

本文说明了浪漫爱情可以持续一生,并且通往更幸福、更健康的关系。完成本题应该结合自己的和实际生活中的人们的爱情观。
1. C 浪漫爱情可以持续一生,并且通往更幸福、更健康的关系(friendships),而学问(scholarships),友谊(friendships),伙伴关系(companionships),明显不合适。
2. B “很多人以为浪漫(romantic)之爱和激情之爱是一回事,全文说的主体就是浪漫爱情,而不是过分关心的(obsessive),也不是多情的(passionate),更不是陪伴(companion)。 3. A激情的或者强迫性的爱情包含了不确定和焦虑的感觉(feelings),无论是那种情都是一种情感感觉,而不是因素(factors),结果(consequences),和障碍(barriers)。
4. B这种爱情有助于(helps)驱动的是短期关系而不是长期关系,贡献于(contributes)要和to搭配,阻止(prevent)和加速(speeds)都显得不合适,不能让语意通顺。
5. D这些研究结果刊登(也就是出现appear)在美国心理学会出版的《普通心理学评论》三月号上,而不是发生(occur),拿走(take),写(write)。
6. A 以检验(就是找到结果,也就是find out)浪漫爱情是否与更高的满意度相联系,计算出(work out),拿出(take out),取出(bring out)等等不符合语意逻辑。 7. B为了证实这一点,他们把每项研究中的爱情关系归类(classified)为浪漫的、激情的(浪漫加上强迫成分)和友谊式的,再分为长期和短期关系两类。Separated:分离,divided:分开,cut:剪开,都不能表示这样的意思。 8. C其对象包括18-23岁的单身(就是single)、恋爱中或已婚的大学生,单身是说没有结婚,而不是单独(alone),孤独(lonely),和唯一一个(unique)。
9. D他们还看了(looked)10个对于长期关系的研究,其对象包括结婚10年或更久的中年夫妇。匆匆一看(glanced),瞪眼看(glared),目不转睛地看(stared),这三个词都与at搭配,但是表示的意思都带有感情色彩,也不符合语意。
10. D其中两个研究(studies)同时包括了短期和长期关系,这两组样本是区分开来的。前文用的都是研究,而不是发现(findings),测试(examinations),和实验(experiments)。 11. C那些报告出更多浪漫成分的人都对自己的爱情关系更满意(satisfied),而不是不高兴(unpleased),失望(disappointed),和绝望(desperate)。
12. B 。在短期和长期关系中,伙伴式的爱情都只有中等程度的和满意度相关(associated),涉及(referred),争斗(contended),和冲突(conflicted),显然不合时宜。 13. A而那些报告出较多激情成分的人在短期关系中比(比较和比较的对象之间是被动关系,故用过去分词compared,而不是现在分词comparing)在长期关系中满意度更高。Added(加上)和led(导致),根本就没有比较的意思。
14. A对爱情关系满意度较高的夫妇或恋人同时也报告(reported)出较强的幸福感和较高的自尊。前文用的就是report,而说(said),相信(believed),和希望(hoped)明显不是针对研究,
15. B感觉伴侣“与你同在”有助于(make for )建立良好的爱情关系,take for的意思是把??当做?..,意味着(means)依赖(depends)通常和for不搭配,构不成一定意义上的短语。 16. B不安全感通常伴随着较低的(lower)满意度,而不是较高的(higher),根本没有(no)和很多(much)。
17. D有时(就是有些情况下 in some cases)还会导致爱情中的冲突。Environments往往指的是自然环境,state说的是物体所处的物理状态。Air是空气和气氛,明显不符合逻辑。 18. B这个发现或许会改变人们对长期关系的一般预期(expectations),观点(views)看上去对,但是这儿不强调人们对爱情的认识,而是能在多大程度上让自己满意,这就是期望或预期,更不是评论(remarks)和陈述(statements)。
19. A研究者称,虽然伙伴式的爱情在很多夫妇看来是成功爱情关系的自然发展()阶段,但
