答案與題解:
1. C 此處考查對(duì)固定搭配的掌握情況，只有account能與for 搭配，意為"解釋"，其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的詞都是及物動(dòng)詞，不與介詞搭配。
2. C 分析全句，此處應(yīng)填一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞，從句中缺少賓語(yǔ)，故應(yīng)填 what ，此句意為
"去了解他們所感興趣的東西"，其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)均為關(guān)系副詞，不能充當(dāng)從句中的賓語(yǔ)。
3. B 此處選 even 加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣，"事實(shí)上，電腦甚至都沒(méi)有興趣"。
4. A computer program 是常見(jiàn)搭配，意為"電腦程序"，其他選項(xiàng)與句意不符，故排除。
5. B make sense 是固定搭配，意思是"有道理, 合理, 能被理解"。整句的意思為"當(dāng)然人也有目標(biāo)，但這些目標(biāo)若被歸在電腦身上便不合邏輯了"。
6. C in order to 是固定搭配，表示目的，意為"為了……"，故選 C。
7. A 結(jié)合上下文我們得知，此處應(yīng)填具有"尋找"含義的詞，watch 沒(méi)有此含義，首先被排除，C 選項(xiàng)后若加上 for ，便符合文意，search 有"搜尋，查找"的含義，但一般指深人徹底地調(diào)查，只 有 A 選項(xiàng) find 在含義和語(yǔ)氣上都符合句意。
8. C 從下一句便可找到答案為 C 選項(xiàng)，give rise to 意為"引起，導(dǎo)致，使發(fā)生"。
9. D 選擇 D 意為"找到關(guān)于餐館名字的信息"，其他選項(xiàng)放此處均不合適。
10. D 此處需填一個(gè)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，因此要搞清主語(yǔ)"餐館"與賓語(yǔ)"食物"之間的關(guān)系，只有"餐館供應(yīng)食物"合乎邏輯，故答案為 serve。
11. A 上文提到了種種人生理的、智力上的、認(rèn)知的目標(biāo)，因?yàn)轲I得到了有關(guān)餐館的信息，因而
此處要填"獲取" ，B ，C，D 與文意不符。
12. B 此空依然承接上文的意思，那些目標(biāo)都是獲取信息的目標(biāo)，都是學(xué)習(xí)的目標(biāo),答案為 B 選項(xiàng)。
13. B 此處缺一個(gè)情態(tài)動(dòng)詞，閱讀到后半句時(shí)便很容易選出答案，此處的 might 與后面 as a person might 相呼應(yīng)，表示不確定的推測(cè)，意為"可能，也許"。
14. D 能與 way 搭配的介詞一般只有 in ，表示"以……方式"，此處的含義為"與一個(gè)人可能想要做事的方式相同"。
15. A arise out of 是固定搭配，意為"起于……"，即使不知道短語(yǔ)的含義，看到后面又出現(xiàn)一次 arise out of ，也應(yīng)可以選出答案。
