29、y L. lively M. blend N. registering O. fashionable（分数：25.00）解析：M解析 此处需要不及物动词，作谓语，主语是复数，所以该动词为原形。根据空格后的副词together，可知只有 blend 一同比较合适。blend together 意为“混合在一起”。解析：C解析 此处需填名词，根据上下文，该词与 people 并列，因此应该是和 people 一起在画面上出现的东西，由此很容易确定 objects 最为合适，意思是“物体”。解析：L解析 此处需要填入形容词，与 bright 并列修饰 natural light，由此可选 livel
30、y。解析：G解析 此处需要及物动词，因为接在 to 后面，所以为动词原形。符合要求的动词中能与feeling 搭配的是 express。解析：I解析 此处需要填入形容词，说明 artists 的类型。本句与下一句形成对比，分别说明两类画家是如何使用颜色的。下一句是关于 impressionists 的，因此可知答案为 traditional。解析：A解析 此处需要及物动词，因为接在 instead of 后面，所以是动词的现在分词形式。instead of 表明印象派画家不会使用上一句提到的方法(mixed paints)，因此可知答案为 mixing。解析：D解析 此处需要填名词。上一句提到
31、印象派画作看起来跟在阳光下看到一个物体的感觉一样，由此可推断印象派画家想要表现出阳光照在物体上的“效果”，答案为 effect。解析：E解析 此处需填名词，而且可以和 a 和 of 构成词组，根据上下文很容易确定 series 最为合适。a series of 意为“一系列”。解析：K解析 此处需要填入副词。前文提到印象派画家注重光和色彩，可知此句要说明莫奈根据自然的变化来作画，由此可知 directly 符合上下文。而太阳光每小时的不同变化并不能体现“精确”之义，因此可排除 precisely。解析：B解析 此处需填一个可数名词，而且前面出现了 an，所以该名词是单数形式，由此很容易确定re

38、容词作宾语补足语。态度应该与 or 前面的 ignored spelling 一致，即认为拼写不重要，因此答案为 unimportant。这句话也证明了前面的看法是个误解(misunderstanding)。解析：G解析 此处需要副词，修饰形容词 different。从上下文语义的逻辑性看，vastly 更为合适。vastly different ideas 意为“极其不同的看法”。解析：E解析 此处需要形容词作定语。从上下文语义的逻辑性看，adventurous 最为合适。choosing to avoid adventurous language 意为“选择避免使用易出错的语言”。解析：D
39、解析 此处需要动词作谓语的一部分，and 后面的 pay attention to 是一般现在时，而且是积极意义的，所以该动词也应该一致。再根据上下文语义的逻辑性，可知 encourage 最为合适。encourage the early use of dictionaries 意为“鼓励早早使用字典”。解析：M解析 此处需要及物动词原形作谓语，且该动词能与 ideas 搭配，因此答案为express。express their ideas 意为“表达他们的思想”。解析：H解析 此处需要形容词作表语。从后文对该文章的批评来看，此处应该是消极意义的形容词。因此答案为 terrible。解析：K解
40、析 此处需要可数名词的单数作表语。上文提到作文拼写错误多，书写难认，可知此处需要消极意义的名词，显然 criticism 较合适。a sharp criticism 意为“尖锐的批评”。解析：B解析 此处需要动词的过去分词作谓语的一部分。根据上文所说拼写和书写上的问题，所以导致老师无法阅读作文，因此答案为 failed。failed to read the essay 意为“未能阅读这篇作文”。解析：I解析 此处需要名词作宾语。从后文中的 to seek improvement 来看，此处是一个积极意义的名词，motivation 显然更合适。Searching for love is no

46、otified F. recruiters G. matches H. increasingly I. desperate J. costly K. restraint L. popularity M. weakened N. shortly O. trained（分数：25.00）解析：M解析 此处应为动词的过去分词，与 have 构成现在完成时。从该段第 2、3 句描述的美国年轻人的生活习惯可以推断此处填写 weakened 最为合适。解析：H解析 此处应为副词。该段前几句提到美国年轻人因为工作忙很少有时间结交新朋友，这就致使他们对互联网的依赖性越来越强，由此可见，在副词词库中，只有 in
47、creasingly 符合句意。解析：L解析 此处应为名词。从上一段最后一句提到的 depend on technology 和该段下一句提到的数字可以推断，本句应表明美国人“很喜欢”online dating，可见，本题应从名词词库中选择 popularity一词。解析：G解析 此处应为名词，而且该名词可以作 make 的宾语。通过该段两句内容可以推断，此处的名词语义应该与上一句 online dating 相关，在名词词库中，只有 matches 符合要求。解析：C解析 此处应为形容词。根据上一句提到的 new and interesting ways 可以知道本句提到的services
48、应该是某种新式的有趣的服务形式，在所有过去分词和形容词中，personalized 一词最合适，personalized services 意为“个性化服务”，正是因为有了 personalized services，人们才能找到the perfect mate。解析：D解析 此处应为动词原形。根据后面的宾语 time and money 和此处的动词为动词原形等条件，可以确定在动词词库中，只有 invest 适合此处。解析：A解析 此处应为副词。该副词修饰 planned，构成的意思应与 instead of 后的 leaving love to chance 相对。副词词库中，只有 car
49、efully 适合原文所要表达的语义。解析：J解析 此处应为形容词。根据 but 表达的转折意义可以推断，该形容词与 detailed 二者形成鲜明对比，通过对形容词词库中的词逐一排除，可以最后选定 costly。costly but detailed service 指“昂贵而细致的服务”。解析：O解析 此处应为形容词。从本段的介绍可以知道 True Life Partners 公司为客户提供服务的都是 experts，而 experts 前的形容词应该表明这些 experts 的优势，在词库中只有 trained 一词适合与experts 搭配，且符合语义逻辑。解析：F解析 此处应为复数形式的名词。根据本句内容可以推断此处的名词应该表示具体的某种“人”，很明显，在名词词库中，只有 recruiters 一词表示某类人招聘人员；征集者。The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island.
