32、名词作宾语，结合上下文可知，该处句意为“咖啡会使人精神和心情 -|_|-”，根据常识可知，咖啡可以提神，改善人的精神状态，所以此处指的是“精神和心情的清晰”。故选H项，clarity意为“(思想、思路等的)清晰”。解析：O 考点 考查动词。 通过分析句子结构，并根据全文采用的一般现在时，空格处应填动词的第三人称单数形式。空格所在句大意为“咖啡没有副作用，且 -|_|-丰富的营养物质”，由此可知，空格处所填单词为“包含，含有”的意思，故O项contains“包含，包括”符合题意。解析：F 考点 考查动词。 根据句意“咖啡与其他的东西一样，过量 -|_|-就会产生问题”，可知此处要表达的是“过量饮

33、用、过量喝”的意思，分析句子结构可知，空格处应填动词的过去分词表示被动，故选F项，consumed意为“喝”，符合句意；G项conducted意为“管理；引导；指挥”，不符合题意，可排除。解析：L 考点 考查动词。 free radicals是“自由基”的意思，该句意为“这些抗氧化物负责 -|_|-自由基”，再根据下文提到的“自由基的数量如果不加以控制会引起健康问题”，可知空格处的动词应表示“消除、排除”的意思，be responsible for中的for为介词，后面要用动词的现在分词形式，故L项eliminating“消除”符合句意；C项stimulating意为“刺激”，与句意不符，可排

34、除。解析：D 考点 考查形容词。 该处句意为“咖啡因的 -|_|-影响也同样不可忽视”，文章第一句话就说咖啡能使人的精神和心情都得到放松，且上文一直从生理角度分析咖啡对人体的影响，此处话锋一转，便可推测作者接下来要从咖啡对心理上的影响进行分析。故选D项，psychological意为“心理的，精神上的”。解析：A 考点 考查形容词。 空格所在句意为“咖啡因不仅使你更 -|_|-，事实上它也影响你的心情。”由题可知此处应填一个形容人的形容词，选项中K项shrewd意为“精明的，狡猾的；机灵的”，A项alert意为“清醒的；警惕的”，结合句意可知本题选A。解析：J 考点 考查名词。 空格前为形容词

35、性物主代词your，故此处需填名词。该处句意为“如果你觉得压抑或不知所措，一杯咖啡就可以改变你的 -|_|-。原来看起来不可能完成的大量工作现在也不再是问题了”，因此J项符合句意，perspective意为“观点，看法”；N项prospects“前景；展望”为干扰项，可排除。解析：M 考点 考查形容词。 上一句提到“想一下人被撞到或者喝得酩酊大醉时会怎么样”，根据常识可知这样的人会失去知觉，肌体功能也会丧失，所以M项符合题意，functional意为“功能的；起作用的”。解析：B 考点 考查连词 分析句子结构可知，空格处缺少一个连接词引导时间状语从句。该句意为“但是通过喝咖啡，人们可以文思泉涌

36、， -|_|-依旧可以保持正常的身体机能”，根据上下文可知这里的逻辑关系应是表示同时进行，故选B项，while意为“与此同时，当的同时”。解析：E 考点 考查名词。 综合全文，不难得出最后一句话是作者给读者的一句忠告，即“喝咖啡要适量”，呼应了前面第3空所在句的意思。the beverage(这种饮料)在这里代指咖啡，in -|_|-这一短语应为“适当地”的意思。E项moderation意为“适度，节制”，in moderation为固定用法，意为“适当地，有节制地”，故选E。I项meditation意为“沉思，冥想”，与句意不符，可排除；Acomfort Bretrain Cexotic D

43、 a future.（分数：25.00）解析：D 考点 考查形容词。 go在此处为半系动词，可判断空格处应填形容词。文章的第一句话是说美国本土产业面临来自国外的竞争，因此空格所在句的意思应为“如果我们买日本车，美国车就卖不出去”。形容词选项中只有D项unsold意为“未售出的”，符合句意，故选D。解析：K 考点 考查形容词。 根据前一句“如果我们买日本车，美国车就卖不出去”可知，此处的意思应为“这导致了美国本土汽车产业的衰落”。文章第一句出现了domestic industry，根据同义复现原理，这里指的应该是美国本土产业，所以答案选K，domestic意为“本土的”，而C项exotic意为“

44、外来的；异域风情的”，与题意相反。解析：G 考点 考查动词。 本句为总结句，意为“的确，如果我们购买国外生产商的产品，那么美国国内的生产商就会 -|_|-”，由此可推测空格处所填词应为“受损失，吃亏”的意思，结合选项可知，只有G项suffer“受损失；遭受”符合句意，故选G。解析：J 考点 考查名词。 本句意为“但随着新工业的 -|_|-，20世纪80年代中期这片区域的失业率降到了全国最低”，由此可推测，新工业必定会“崛起”和“扩张”，发展势头迅猛，才能帮助降低失业率，因此选项中只有J项expansion符合要求，意为“扩张”。解析：M 考点 考查介词。 此处意为“ -|_|-时间，美国失去了

45、其在纺织行业的优势”，空格后的单词是time，故空格处应填一个能与之搭配的介词来表示时间，选项中只有M项Over和N项About可与time搭配，而about后接time时，通常加定冠词或不定冠词等修饰time，如its about the time“是该的时候了”；over time表示“在一段时间内”，符合句意，故答案选M。解析：O 考点 考查名词。 空格处所填词被labor修饰，由上下文可知所填单词应与labor构成名词性短语。选项中O项resources意为“资源”；此处是指“一些国家拥有更多的劳动力资源(尽管这些劳动力没有什么特殊技能)”，可见只有resources符合句意，故选O。

46、解析：A 考点 考查名词。 此处意为“即便知道一些其他的产业可能正在本国的其他地方扩张，工人们所感受到的 -|_|-也是极少的，因为他们自身所拥有的技能已经过时”，根据上文可以推知，其他产业在其他地区的发展对于已经从本行业下岗的工人们来说，所能得到的帮助应该是非常有限的，可推测出空格处所填词应为“帮助，安慰”的意思，因此答案为A项comfort，意为“抚慰，安慰”。解析：H 考点 考查名词。 该句意为“我们可以停止 -|_|-，放弃从自由贸易中获得的利益”，根据常识可知，若要保护本国的产业，则必须限制进口商品，由此可知空格处应填具有“进口”含义的词，故答案为H项imports“进口商品”；L项

47、exports意为“出口商品”，与文意正相反，可排除。解析：E 考点 考查副词。 此处意为“我们愿意出更多的钱来拯救国内的岗位，尽管这些岗位所在的产业在国外能更 -|_|-生产。”选项中E项efficiently意为“有效率地”，F项efficaciously意为“有效地，灵验地”，可知efficiently最符合句意和逻辑，故答案选E。解析：B 考点 考查动词。 该句意为“或者我们也可以以一种更有效的方式帮助自由贸易的受害者们，帮助他们通过 -|_|-，找到富有前景的工作。”分析句子成分可知，空格处应填动词原形。选项中B项retrain意为“再教育，重新培训”，I项restrain意为“抑制”；前文提到很多下岗工人自身拥有的技能已经过时，因此若要使工人们找到富有前景的工作，必须对他们重新进行培训以使他们更好地适应新时代的工作，由此可知B项retrain是正确答案。Aperception Bforward Cwealthy Dstrengthen Ebargaining Fcooperators Gcounterparts Hparticular Iefficient Jnegotiators Ksolidify Lforth Mexchanging Nthat Oindirect The increase in internatio
