　　答案

　　36.F

　　語法判斷：空格前是common，空格後是range from，故應填入名詞。

　　語義判斷：備選項中是名詞或可用作名詞的有：bond、anywhere、mishaps和networking。將四個單詞分別代入空格處，可知“mishaps***不幸的事，糗事***”為最佳選項。

　　37.M

　　語法判斷：空格前是according to a study，空格後是on Tuesday，空格中所填入的詞應和oil Tuesday一起構成a study的後置定語對其進行修飾。

　　語義判斷：根據上下文，此處句意應為“據本週二釋出的一項調查顯示”。released為最佳答案。

　　38.A

　　語法判斷：空格前是to，不定式結構用作目的狀語，故應填入動詞原形，另需注意空格後為with colleagues，因此所填入的動詞應能與with搭配。

　　語義判斷：備選項中是動詞原形的只有bond，用作動詞時，其意為“***與某人***培養關係”，符合題意。

　　39.K

　　語法判斷：空格後句子結束，線索在空格前的dranktoomuch and acted。故判斷應填入副詞。

　　語義判斷：備選項中是副詞的有：nearly、specially、anywhere、idly和unprofessionally，綜合來看，unprofessionally符合題意。

　　40.N

　　語法判斷：空格前為and4percent，空格所在句子後半部分與前半部分應為and連線的並列分句，前一分句說5percent said…空格所在分句說4percent——…根據並列結構的特徵，填入的應為動詞且應為過去式，並能夠和後面的介詞to搭配。

　　語義判斷：備選項中是動詞並且是過去式的還有：acknowledged、obligated、conducted、confessed和 researched，這其中acknowledged的迷惑性最強，其意似乎可行，但從語法上來講，和後面的介詞to無法搭配。而confessed既合語義，又合語法。

　　41.L

　　語法判斷：空格前為happy hours ale good for，故應填入名詞。

　　語義判斷：備選項中是名詞或可以用作名詞的選項只剩下兩個：anywhere和networking。“networking***人際關係***”符合題意，故為正確答案。

　　42.E

　　語法判斷：空格前為attending had not helped them get，空格後為to someone higher up or get a better position。空格中填入的應為副詞。

　　語義判斷：備選項中是副詞的還有：nearly、specially、anywhere、idly。將四項代入空格處，根據上下文 語意可知，anywhere應為正確選項。getanywhere為慣用搭配，意為“有結果，有進展”。

　　43.H

　　語法判斷：空格前為with younger workers aged 25 to 34 most likely and workers over 55 least，and連線兩個並列結構，故應填入的詞彙應充分考慮前面的mostlikely。

　　語義判斷：根據上下文推測，此處句意應為：“年齡在25到34歲之間的年輕員工是最有可能參加此類活動的人群，而55歲以上的員工參加的可能性是最低的。”此處前後對照，說年輕的最有可能去參加，而55歲以上的員工最不可能參加。因此likely為正確答案。

　　44.C

　　語法判斷：從空格前後來看，句子成分並不殘缺，因此填入的應為副詞。

　　語義判斷：備選項中是副詞的還有：nearly、specially、idly，而本句意為：“總的來說，有21%的員工下班後會與同事共赴‘歡樂時光’，而他們當中有將近四分之一的人每月至少去一次。”綜合考慮，nearly***將近***符合題意。

　　45.I

　　語法判斷：空格前為The surveywas，空格後為onfineby…。此句應為被動語態，空格中填入的應為過去分詞。

　　語義判斷：備選項中可能是過去分詞的還有：acknowledged、obHgated、conducted和researched。分別代入空格處可知conducted最合題意，表示“進行***調查***”。
