" 答案及解析 31.worse 【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”。 32.at 【解析】此题考固定搭配，at one’S disposal，意为“任某人自由支配、使唤”。所以此处应填介词“at”。 33.poll 【解析】此句意为“Synovate市场研发公司的调查显示”，poll的意思为“民意调查”。因此答案为“poll“。 34.found 【解析】此句意为“l，000名受访者中有70%的发现，相对于其他设备来说，在使用手机时人们表现出最差的礼仪”，所以答案为“found”。 35.according【解析】according to为“依据”，为固定短语，意为“根据美国的民意调查”。所以此处填according。 36.them 【解析】本题考查代词的用法，根据上下文，此处句意为“人们使用这些小玩意儿。”上文已经提到gadgets，所以这里用代词“them”代替。 37.off 【解析】turn off是“关掉”的意思，此题考查动词短语的用法，根据上下文语境，这里意思是“关掉你的手机”。所以用副词“off”。 38.on 【解析】此题也考查介词的用法，在电话中交谈，一般用on the phone。所以此处应填介词“on”。 39.at 【解析】某大学的教授，应为“a professor at...university”，所以答案为介词“at”。 40.calls 【解析】此句意为“他把这种缺乏礼节的行为称作是一种无意识的无礼”。call+双宾语结构，以为“把…称为”，所以此处填“calls”。 41.as 【解析】此处为因果关系，意为“因为许多人没有…”，因此此处应填连词“as”。 42.aware 【解析】be aware of，固定搭配，意为“意识到”。所以此处应填“aware” 43.where 【解析】此题考查where引导的定语从句，修饰前面提到的plane，train or bus。所以此处应填关系副词“where”。 44.to 【解析】be subjected to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”。 45.what 【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listen to后的宾语。所以此处应填引导词“what”。 46.takes 【解析】要注意时态，这里意为“占据”，所以所以此处应填“takes” 47.divide 【解析】根据上下文语境，这里是“分为”，divide...up into意为“把·一划分为”。所以此处应填动词“divide”。 48.were 【解析】考查被动语态的用法，注意分析句子成分。所以此处应填“were”。 49.comply 【解析】此处句意为“他们会很懊恼地服从”，表示服从，遵从的短语是comply with。所以此处应填“comply”。 50.normal 【解析】根据上下文可以判断此处句意为“很正常的事情”，因此此处应填“normal”。 相关资料 |
