35、志词也就说明要选入一个与调查结果相关的单词，故而选 findings 调查结果。theses 主题；hypotheses 臆测；abstracts 抽象。A.adaptB.attribute C.allocateD.alternate解析：解析 此题考查语义衔接。该题前句意思是“肥胖的流行始于 20 世纪 80 年代”，后句的显性意思为“许多人增加了食物的分量以及很少运动”。少运动、增加食物分量和肥胖之间显然是因果关系，因此这里要选的是有因果关系的单词，故而选 attribute 归因于。adapt 适应于；allocate 分配；alternate 转变。A.amongstB.alongC.
36、besideD.with 解析：解析 此题考查惯用衔接。be with.和一起。原句意为“快餐和电视伴随着我们已经很长时间了。”该句和前面所提及的增加了食物的分量和缺少运动一一对应。A.gluedB.related C.trackedD.appointed解析：解析 此题考查语义衔接。承接上述的一一对应关系，该题则是对应前句的“but that can“t be everything.”由此可以推出“许多专家认为改变与环境有关”的句意。因此该题选择 related。glued 黏附；tracked 追踪；appointed 委任，委派。A.scrapingB.denyingC.depressi
37、ngD.shrinking 解析：解析 此题考查语义衔接。该句以 that 引导说明与前句为并列关系，前句所说的与环境相关，这里亦可理解为与环境相关，因此这里要说明的是肥胖与绿色植物的减少有关。数量的减少只能用shrink。scraping 拆毁，废弃；denying 否定；depressing 萧条，沮丧；shrinking 收缩，缩小。A.published B.simulatedC.illuminatedD.circulated解析：解析 此题考查结构衔接。考查动词作分词结构，后句是一本期刊的名字，因而此项新研究应当公布于期刊中，故用 published 公布。simulated 模仿，
38、模拟；illuminated 照亮；circulated 流通，循环。A.atB.to C.forD.over解析：解析 此题考查惯用衔接，同定搭配 be closer to。提请考生注意的是 to 在此处的作用是介词而不是不定式。A.fullyB.simply C.seriouslyD.uniquely解析：解析 此题考查语义衔接。原句意思是“最直接的表现就是一个有绿地的街区_意味着给孩子们更多玩耍的空间。”fully 完全，充分；simply 坦白地，仅仅；seriously 严肃地，严重地；uniquely 独特地。据上文所述，“该项研究并不是第一个指出绿地与更好的健康之间的关系，但是它
39、却着实让我们更进一步了解它们之间的关系如何产生和为什么产生。”当提及下句的时候，又出现了“最直接的说法”，意为将前句复杂的句意简单化理解。因此这里选择 simply。A.vital B.casualC.fatalD.subtle解析：解析 此题考查语义衔接。该题需要填入的是与 strongest correlations 相关的褒义形容词，根据词义可判断仅有 vital 符合。vital 重要的；casual 临时的，随意的；fatal 致命的；subtle 微妙的，敏感的。A.stillB.alreadyC.too D.yet解析：解析 此题考查逻辑衔接。该句的选择需分析与后句的逻辑关系，前
40、后两句均讨论绿色环境对思维的益处，因此该题选择并列结构的 too。A.benefits B.profitsC.revenuesD.awards解析：解析 此题考查语义衔接。既然是并列结构，前后的褒贬义需要一致，前句有 good for 词组作为支撑，后句则需要选择相应的褒义单词，根据词义只能选择 benefits 益处。profits 利润；revenues 收入；awards 奖励。A.outwardB.apartC.asideD.outside 解析：解析 此题考查语义衔接。既然是和绿色环境有关，则是暗示在外阅读，因此要选择在外面的单词 outside 而不是向外的 outward。A.I
41、mmunityB.ReactionC.Exposure D.Addiction解析：解析 此题考查语义衔接。该句仍是承接上句的并列句型，既然前面提及在外阅读，这里则是暴露于草地。immunity 免疫；reaction 反映；exposure 暴露；addiction 沉溺于。A.muchB.less C.moreD.little解析：解析 此题考查结构衔接。该句重点考查考生是否理解并列结构的一致性。并列前后要求形容词的级别一致和褒贬义一致，更低的体重指数对应的必然是更少的压力，故而选 less。A.installmentB.expeditionC.analysis D.option解析：解析
42、 此题考查语义衔接。对于 3000 名东京居民的_，显然是调查，与本文一直强调的research 相互对应，因此该处选择与调查相关的 analysis。installment 分期付款；expedition 远征；analysis 调查分析；option 选择。A.curiouslyB.negativelyC.necessarily D.comfortably解析：解析 此题考查惯用衔接。not necessarily 未必。curiously 好奇地；negatively 负面地；comfortably 舒服地，充分地。A.relievedB.delegatedC.approved D.pe
43、rformed解析：解析 此题考查语义衔接。“美国众议院可喜地_名为禁止单独留下孩童法案。”既然与法案有关，只可是 approve。relieved 解除，减轻；delegated 派代表；approved 批准，同意；performed 演奏。A.merelyB.always C.mainlyD.almost解析：解析 此题考查逻辑衔接。这是并列关系的又一次考查，后面说你不得不努力工作去为家人挣得一小片绿地和树林，因此前句必然说的是寻找绿地不容易。故而此处选择 always。A.advantage B.exceptionC.measureD.charge解析：解析 此题考查惯用衔接。固定搭配
44、 take advantage of 好好利用某事/某物。exception 额外；measure 措施；charge 收费。A.elevatedB.mercifulC.contentedD.grateful 解析：解析 此题考查语义衔接。原句意思为“孩子们尤其会爱上它，而且他们的身心会_你。”明显指示填入褒义单词，而且孩子们和你的关系只能填入 grateful。elevated 提升的；merciful 怜悯的；contented 满意的；grateful 感谢的。In 1924 America“s National Research Council sent two engineers t
