答案及解析
31.worse 【解析】“the+比較級，the+比較級”，意為“越…越…，”根據(jù)上下文，本句句意為“身邊的小玩意兒越多，事情似乎就會變得越糟糕�！彼源颂帒�(yīng)填“worse”。
32.at 【解析】此題考固定搭配，at one’S disposal，意為“任某人自由支配、使喚”。所以此處應(yīng)填介詞“at”。
33.poll 【解析】此句意為“Synovate市場研發(fā)公司的調(diào)查顯示”，poll的意思為“民意調(diào)查”。因此答案為“poll“。
34.found 【解析】此句意為“l(fā)，000名受訪者中有70%的發(fā)現(xiàn)，相對于其他設(shè)備來說，在使用手機(jī)時(shí)人們表現(xiàn)出最差的禮儀”，所以答案為“found”。
35.according【解析】according to為“依據(jù)”，為固定短語，意為“根據(jù)美國的民意調(diào)查”。所以此處填according。
36.them 【解析】本題考查代詞的用法，根據(jù)上下文，此處句意為“人們使用這些小玩意兒。”上文已經(jīng)提到gadgets，所以這里用代詞“them”代替。
37.off 【解析】turn off是“關(guān)掉”的意思，此題考查動詞短語的用法，根據(jù)上下文語境，這里意思是“關(guān)掉你的手機(jī)”。所以用副詞“off”。
38.on 【解析】此題也考查介詞的用法，在電話中交談，一般用on the phone。所以此處應(yīng)填介詞“on”。
39.at 【解析】某大學(xué)的教授，應(yīng)為“a professor at...university”，所以答案為介詞“at”。
40.calls 【解析】此句意為“他把這種缺乏禮節(jié)的行為稱作是一種無意識的無禮”。call+雙賓語結(jié)構(gòu)，以為“把…稱為”，所以此處填“calls”。
41.as 【解析】此處為因果關(guān)系，意為“因?yàn)樵S多人沒有…”，因此此處應(yīng)填連詞“as”。
42.aware 【解析】be aware of，固定搭配，意為“意識到”。所以此處應(yīng)填“aware”
43.where 【解析】此題考查where引導(dǎo)的定語從句，修飾前面提到的plane，train or bus。所以此處應(yīng)填關(guān)系副詞“where”。
44.to 【解析】be subjected to為固定搭配，“使遭受，使服從”的意思，要學(xué)會跨過其他成分尋找主干。所以此處應(yīng)填介詞“to”。
45.what 【解析】此題考查what引導(dǎo)的賓語從句。要注意分析句子中的成分，此空為listen to后的賓語。所以此處應(yīng)填引導(dǎo)詞“what”。
46.takes 【解析】要注意時(shí)態(tài)，這里意為“占據(jù)”，所以所以此處應(yīng)填“takes”
47.divide 【解析】根據(jù)上下文語境，這里是“分為”，divide...up into意為“把·一劃分為”。所以此處應(yīng)填動詞“divide”。
48.were 【解析】考查被動語態(tài)的用法，注意分析句子成分。所以此處應(yīng)填“were”。
49.comply 【解析】此處句意為“他們會很懊惱地服從”，表示服從，遵從的短語是comply with。所以此處應(yīng)填“comply”。
50.normal 【解析】根據(jù)上下文可以判斷此處句意為“很正常的事情”，因此此處應(yīng)填“normal”。
