答案及解析
31.as
【精析】此空上一句意为:“人们普遍认为工资和生产率应该是相关的。”下一句意为:“但是这种关系在减弱…人们在变老。”可知缺少连词,引导时间状语从句,主句和从句动作同时发生,应填as,意为“随着…”。
32.wim
【精析】此句话意为:“心理能力…年龄下降。”由此可以推测出是指随着年龄而下降。decline with表示“随着…而下降”。
33.only
【精析】该句话句意为:“不管是大脑聪明的人还是愚笨的人这都是一样的”。“这不…是对于人类来说,即使是对果蝇来说也是一样”。由整句话可以推测出缺少“仅仅”一词,因此可以填出only一词。
34.for
【精析】上一空填出来后便不难填出此空。此题可参考第33题的精析。
35.But
【精析】该句话意为:“…活跃的大脑会比懒散的大脑受到的影响要小。在一般情况下,你受到的教育越多,年老时你就会越富有。”可知此处需要填写一个关联词,与上一句话承接起来。联系上下旬可知此处并非并列与递进而是转折。故填But。
36.age
【精析】该句句意为:“在一般情况下,你受到的教育越多,…时你就会越富有。”此处用了“the more…the more…”的比较结构。意思是说年轻时受教育程度越高,年老时收获就会越多。可以推测出填age一词。
37.abilities
【精析】该段段意为:“有些…下降比其他的要快。根据多数研究,人们的数字和推理能力表现最好的时候是…他们二三十岁左右。那些依赖于知识的…能力,可能随着年龄增长而提高。”可知此段说的是人的某些能力。不难推测出应填abilities。
38 at
【精析】句意为:“人的数学和推理能力在二三十岁左右表现最好”。at one’s best time为固定搭配。表示在做某事的最佳时期。
39.Other
【精析】参考第37题的精析。Some…and other…经常连用。联系上面的内容可知,此处说的是其他的能力。
40.1ead
【精析】该句句意为“对于大多数的工人来说,能力下降会…生产力下降”。可知此处表示缺少表示“导致,引起”类的词。并且此空后面的to也能给予一定的提示,因此填lead。
41.field
【精析】该句句意为“即使是那些保持高生产力的员工有可能只在一个狭窄的…里发光。”根据句意可以推测得知应填“领域”一词。故填filed。表示在一个狭隘的领域里能有一些作为。
42.between
【精析】该句句意为“关于主管评级的研究表明年龄和认知生产率…没有明显的相关性。”between…and…,理解句意的基础上不难填出’between一词。表示在年龄和生产力之间。
43.taken
【精析]take something into account是一个固定搭配。把…考虑进来。该句句意为:“当其他员工的意见都被考虑到时…”。此处需要用被动,故填taken。
44.most
【精析】该句句意为:“这些评级表明,工人在30多岁时生产效率…并工作最努力,之后其分数会随之下降。”可知此空要填一个最高级。故填most。
45.with
【精析】参考第44题的精析,表示伴随着。并且可以从fall获得提示。fall with表示随着…而下降。
46.backed
【精析】该句句意为“对工作样本的研究发现老员工生产率低。这一研究支持了…”。该空相对较难。back up是短语,意为“支持”。
47.then
【精析】该句句意为“美国劳工部门研究显示工作绩效峰值为35岁,…开始下降。”此处应该填表示递进关系的词“然后”。故填then。
48.slower
【精析】该句句意为“它因行业不同而不同:下跌…是鞋类生产行业,较快的是家具行业。”从该句话不难看出填lower一词,与后面的fas—ter形成对比。
49.1ess
【精析】该句句意为:“在一些智力要求很高的职业中,是难以测量的,是因为他们…公布自己的年龄。”可知由于很少公布才会使得测量变难,应填less一词。
50.exception
【精析】该句句意为“画家、音乐家和作家也表现出同样的趋势。他们的输出峰值也出现在30多岁和40多岁。唯一的…是女性作家,其输出峰值出现在50多岁时。”根据句意这里是说唯一的例外是女性作家。可以填出exception一词。
