30、l M. conversely N. principle O. inspired（分数：25.00）解析：F解析 此处应为名词，与前面的 imnagination 并列。此处的名词应能与前面的否定词 no 构成容易被盗的密码的特点，即“没有想象力或不够”，适合这个内容的只有 uniqueness 一词。解析：L解析 此处应为形容词。根据该段和下面几段提到的数据和数字，可以推断文中提到的研究主要是对数据做出“统计”分析，因此，此处应为 statistical 一词。解析：G解析 此处应为动词，在句中作谓语。空白处后的 that 在句中引导宾语从句，给出的动词中只有 reveal 后面可跟宾语从句
31、，且符合句意。解析：I解析 此处应为副词。本题空白处及其后的 their own or one of their children“s 是对前面first name 的补充说明，说明人们“通常”用自己或孩子的 first name 作为密码，可见本题答案应为generally“通常”。解析：C解析 此处应为名词。本句句末的 such as.通过举例说明人们喜欢用键盘上简单的数字“组合”作为密码，在词库中，与该词义最相近的是 combinations。解析：H解析 此处应为动词。本题句子开头的 Likewise 表明本句的内容与上句并列，因此，此处填写的动词应表明欧洲人“喜欢”用 AZERTY
32、作为密码。当 score 用作不及物动词时，与 with 搭配，后面跟sb. ，表示“讨好某人，使某人高兴”，该含义适合本句要求，因此，本题答案是 scored。解析：O解析 空白处后的 by 表明此处应为动词的过去分词。本题空白处及其后的内容是对前面 hannah的补充说明，说明 hannah 的“来源”，因此，本题应选择 inspired，表明 hannah 来源于歌星 Hannah Montana 的名字。解析：D解析 此处应为名词。本题所在的句子中提到的“I don“t care”，“Whatever”，“Yes”or“No，表明的都是“态度”，因此，attitudes 是最适合本题的
33、选择。解析：K解析 此处应为形容词。本段提到的 love 和 hate 都表“情感”，形容词词库中只有 emotional适合。解析：A解析 此处应为名词。本题所在的段落可视为全文的结论部分，前面的段落提到的内容都是为了提醒我们选择一个适当的密码以抵御网络盗窃或网络“入侵”，因此，名词词库中的 invasion 为本题答案。The French division of McDonald“s has run advertisements that included a surprising 11 : Kids shouldn“t eat at McDonald“s more than once
34、a week. The advertisements, 12 information from specialists, aim to show that “McDonald“s meals are part of a balanced weekly diet,“ said Euro RSCG, the agency that came up with the ads, which appeared this spring, mostly in French women“s magazines.

39、led M. principles N. conference O. prosperous（分数：25.00）解析：D解析 此处需要名词，由前面的 a 可知为单数形式。冒号后面的内容是对空白处的名词的说明，从 shouldn“t 一词，可以推断该名词应该是表示“建议、提议”的意思，因此答案为 suggestion。a surprising suggestion 意为“一条惊人的建议”。解析：A解析 此处应为动词的分词形式，作 advertisements 的后置定语。第 3 段首句提到的Alongside quotes from specialists，可判断该题空白处的动词是“引用”的意思。
40、quoting information from specialists 意为“引用专家的见解”。解析：C解析 此处应为名词，与 diet 并列作 addressing 的宾语。根据上下文，本文所说与饮食健康有关，在词库里只有 overweight 符合要求。addressing overweight and diet for children 意为“发表关于肥胖问题和儿童饮食的意见”。解析：H解析 此处应为形容词，修饰 oil。原文表明烤汉堡包时不放过量的油，而且在词库中能修饰oil 的也只能是 additional。解析：E解析 此处需要动词原形；而且是及物动词，后跟宾语 fast foo
41、d，语义上与 or 后所说“一周去一次以上麦当劳”相近。词库中只有 abuse 既符合词形，也符合词义。to abuse fast food 意为“过度食用快餐”。解析：K解析 此处需要动词过去式，并与 with 搭配构成该句的谓语。麦当劳公司对上一段中营养师的说法表示不认同，因此只有 disagreed 最合适。解析：M解析 此处应为名词。原文应表明健康的饮食是基于合理的营养原则的，即 a healthy diet based on the sound nutrition principles。解析：B解析 此处可能是名词，作 expand 的宾语；或者是副词，作 expand 的状语。由从
42、句中的 since opening.可以推断本句要表明自从开业以来，麦当劳在法国的规模不断扩大，因此此处应为副词continuously。解析：F解析 此处应该是名词，与 farmers“ groups，striking workers 并列，因此也可以推断该名词应该表示某种人或组织，词库中只有 protestors 符合这个要求。解析：J解析 此处可能为名词，被 anti-globalization 修饰；或者可能是副词，修饰 became。从空白处后的 when 从句可以看出，这个动作只是一次性的，所以词库中的两个表示频率的副词都不合适。从上下文的词义可以看出，movement 是适合的名
43、词，表明 Jose Bove 成为了法国反全球化运动的领袖。Over a hundred years ago, Charles Dickens shocked many of his readers when he described the conditions under which young children worked in British factories.

48、ion G. unchanged H. suffer I. conditions J. perspective K. impatient L. valuable M. particularly N. proceed O. payment（分数：25.00）解析：G解析 此处应为形容词，表明 continue 的状态。由本句的 almost 和下一句的 the only difference 可知这种情况几乎没有改变，只有 unchanged 最合适。解析：B解析 此处应为名词。本句提到的 industries and family businesses，hotels，restaurants等都
49、是小孩受雇的地方，由此可推断空白处应为 employment。解析：M解析 此处应为副词或形容词。词库中没有符合本句句意的形容词，因此答案应从副词中寻找。作者在列举了一系列小孩受雇的地方后，把 farm 放在最后是为了强调，particularly 就是答案。解析：H解析 此处应为动词，可与 from 搭配。本文说的是童工问题，工作对童工来说都是折磨，本句中的 labor practices 和下一句中的 are forced to 都暗示了这一点，因此空白处应为 suffer。解析：D解析 此处应为形容词，修饰 work。从本句 Although 一词形成的对比关系可以推断，空白处的形容词与主句中的 harmful 应为词义色彩相反的单词，词库中只有 light 既符合本句的句意，也符合本句要求的词义色彩。解析：E解析 此处应为副词，作全句的状语。本句表明童工的情况现在仍然存在于亚洲，因此答案为recently。解析：I解析 此处应为名词。本句中的 overcrowded 和 unhealthy 都表明童工的工作条件，因此空白处应为表明“条件”的名词，即 conditions。解析：O解析 此处应为名词。从下一句提到的 The children.re
