8、F) discountN) potentialG) embarrass0) simultaneouslyH) features参考答案36. N) spoiling本空与前面的spend构成spend time doing的搭配，需要动词ing形式。备选的有illustrating(阐述)和spoiling(宠爱)，能与空后的grandkids构成合理搭配的明显只有spoiling，意为“花更多时间去宠孙子”。37. K) radically本空所在句不缺主干成分，且本空是修饰different ideas，所以需要副词。备选的有mysteriously(神秘地)、radically(根本地)

9、和separately(分开地)。能与 different ideas构成合理搭配的只有radically，这里做水准副词，表示丈夫与妻子有着“根本上不同的观点”。38. C) disagree本空为从句中的谓语，所以缺少动词，因为从句主语为复数couples，所以需要动词原形或过去式;且要考虑与空后的on构成搭配，应为不及物动词。备选的有assume(假设)、disagree(不同意)、observe(观察)和underestimate(低估)。其中不及物且与on能构成搭配的只有disagree。另外，第一段段末提到的丈夫与妻子有着“根本上不同的观点”也提示了这里所描述的现象理应是夫妻们不同

10、意彼此的意见。39. O) underestimate本空为该句谓语，且与之并列的前半句使用的是一般现在时，所以需要动词原形，备选的有assume(假设)、observe(观察)和 underestimate(低估)。能够与空后的age构成合理搭配的只有underestimate，意为丈夫们“低估了妻子退休时的年龄”。另外，前半句与该句构成转折，而前半句提到的是妻子一般能准确判断丈夫的退休年龄，可知该句应描述的是丈夫不了解妻子的退休年龄。40. I) optimistic本空为表语，且被副词slightly修饰，空气还有more，提示了应为形容词。备选的又confidential(机密的)、

11、forthcoming(即将到来的)和optimistic(乐观的)。注意本空形容的是空后的standard of living(生活标准)，能构成合理意思的只有optimistic，意为丈夫比妻子“对于生活标准要略微乐观一些”。41. M) separately本空与together构成并列，所以应该与together词性一致，为副词。备选的有mysteriously(神秘地)和 separately(分开地)。能与together意思上构成并列的只有separately，表示正好相反的状态，被or串联，构成选择型的并列。42. A) assume本空为该句谓语，且并列的后半句用的是一般现在

12、时，而本句主语为复数they，所以本空需要动词原形。备选的有assume(假设)和observe(观察)。能在这里构成合理意思的只有assume，意为“他们以为他们意见一致”。43. L) reality空前的the提示了本空需要名词，空后的is提示了本空需要可数名词单数或不可数名词。备选的有formula(公式、方案)、 package(包裹)和reality(现实)。这里能构成合理意思的只有reality，意为“但现实是他们甚至都没有谈论这个话题”。注意前半句的 assume暗示了前半句是夫妻们自以为的现象、也就是假象，这也暗示43空所在的转折之后的后半句描述的才是真相。44. E) fo

13、rthcoming本空是在形容retirement date(退休日期)，需要形容词。备选的有confidential(机密的)和forthcoming(即将到来的)。能构成合理意思的只有 forthcoming，意为“常常是马上就要来临的退休日成为了退休规划的催化剂”，即人们只有接近退休的时候才会被迫开始做规划。45. J) package空前的an后面需要可数名词单数，但early-retirement并非可数名词单数，所以本空才理应是被an限定的可数名词单数。备选的有 formula(公式、方案)和package(包裹)。这里意思更合理的是package，这个词能够表示“一揽子计划”，e
