　　1. D feel是一個(gè)系動(dòng)詞，可以判斷此處應(yīng)填入一個(gè)形容詞，通過(guò)上下文意思，以及后面介詞about, 可以確定選項(xiàng)為D項(xiàng)guilty, 短語(yǔ)feel guilty about sth. “對(duì)……感到有愧”。全句的意思為“我們很愛(ài)吃，但是往往在吃完之后又有負(fù)罪感”。

　　2.M beobsessed with 為固定搭配，原意為“被……附上/纏住/迷住心竅”，放在本句表示“十分重視”。全句的意思為“我們很關(guān)心健康和減肥，但肥胖卻又空前地在蔓延”。

　　3. A 本句缺一個(gè)名詞作主語(yǔ)，并且根據(jù)和介詞to的搭配，可以推斷出正確選項(xiàng)answer.

　　4. I本句根據(jù)more和ways可以判斷出需要填入一個(gè)形容詞構(gòu)成比較級(jí)，根據(jù)上下文，表示“旨在禁止酗酒的禁酒令，卻激發(fā)了更多新奇的方法來(lái)酗酒”，可以確定I為正確選項(xiàng)。

　　5. F 本題較難。根據(jù)be 和by 確定應(yīng)填入一個(gè)過(guò)去分詞。再根據(jù)上下文，上文表示“應(yīng)該吃典型的美國(guó)人吃的食物”，下文通過(guò) but 轉(zhuǎn)折，表示實(shí)際上“美國(guó)的食物已經(jīng)被諸如比薩和熱狗這樣的舶來(lái)品所詮釋了”，因此可以確定F為正確選項(xiàng)。

　　6.B政治結(jié)果，可根據(jù)宗教原因religious reasons來(lái)推斷此處填政治結(jié)果。

　　7. L由于橫線后面沒(méi)有賓語(yǔ)，可以確定不是形成bring的短語(yǔ)，這樣本句所缺的為一名詞，做bring的賓語(yǔ)。根據(jù)下文解釋，“美國(guó)人對(duì)他們所吃的食物的態(tài)度是矛盾的”，可以推出本句意義為“堅(jiān)定的觀點(diǎn)也不是確定不變的”。因此可以確定L為正確選項(xiàng)。

　　8. K系動(dòng)詞become后應(yīng)填入一個(gè)形容詞，和后面介詞of形成短語(yǔ)be/become suspicious of “對(duì)……感到懷疑”。

　　9. J本句缺一個(gè)名詞作主語(yǔ)，并且根據(jù)和介詞in的搭配，可以推斷出正確選項(xiàng)belief，(have)belief in sth.“ 相信……”。

　　10. C本句是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，缺一個(gè)動(dòng)詞，且和with 搭配，確定選項(xiàng)為share, share sth. with sb.,“與某人分享某事”。

　　ALTHOUGH he is still (1) things up at Dell, an ailing computer-maker, Carl Icahn has found time to tilt at another tech titan. On August 13th the veteran shareholder activist (2) that he had built up a stake in Apple, though he stayed mum about exactly how many shares he had bought. Mr Icahn’s intentions, however, are crystal clear: he wants the consumer-electronics behemoth to expand plans to return some of its whopping $147 billion of cash and marketable securities to shareholders.

　　Mr Icahn is also after more money at Dell, where he has been lobbying with allies against a (3) buy-out plan put forward by Michael Dell, the firm’s founder, and Silver Lake, a private-equity firm. His pressing has already forced the buy-out group to raise its initial offer by over $350m, to $24.8 billion and he has taken his (4) to the courts in a bid to extract an even higher price.

　　Other tech firms have been attracting the attention of activist investors too. Earlier this year ValueAct Capital, an investment fund, said it had built up a $2 billion stake in Microsoft. Jaguar Financial, a Canadian bank, has been (5) fresh thinking at troubled BlackBerry, which announced on August 12th that it is exploring various (6) options, including alliances and a possible sale. And Elliott Management, a hedge fund, has been lobbying for change at NetApp, a data-storage firm that it thinks could do more to improve returns to (7).

　　One reason tech firms have found themselves in activists’ crosshairs is that, like Apple, some built up big cash piles during the economic downturn and have been slow to use the money. Financiers hope to get them to loosen their purse-strings faster and to pocket some of the cash. Mr Icahn wants Apple to increase and (8) a share buy-back programme that is currently set to return $60 billion to shareholders by the end of 2015.

　　Another reason that tech firms make tempting targets for shareholder activists is that swift changes in technologies can trip up even the mightiest. Witness the case of Microsoft, which ruled the roost during the personal-computer era but has struggled to adapt to a world in which tablets and smartphones are all the rage. Investors hope to mint money by pushing companies to change more rapidly in response to such upheavals in their markets.

　　The rewards can be substantial. Egged on by Third Point, an activist hedge fund, Yahoo (9) Marissa Mayer as its new chief executive in July 2012. By the time she celebrated a year in the job last month, the troubled web giant’s share price had risen by over 70%. In July the hedge fund sold a big chunk of shares back to Yahoo. Mr Icahn thinks Apple’s share price, which closed at $499 on August 14th, could soar too if the firm follows his advice on buy-backs. He tweeted this week that he had had a “nice (10)” with Tim Cook, Apple’s boss, about his idea, though he did not say what Mr Cook thought of it. If Apple drags its feet, expect things to turn nasty.
