讲的是家长对孩子要有耐心，属于比较生活的话题。
下面我们一起来看一下答案及解析。
1.【答案】D tricky【解析】此处考察词义辨析+上下文语境。
文章首段首句为主题句：每位父母都想成为好的父母。
空格句开头为but，句意上出现了转折，“但是如何定义好的父母是个难题”，since后给出了原因，“因为不同的孩子对待同样的养育方式反应也是不同的”。
tricky意为“棘手的，困难的”，符合句意。
2.【答案】B for example【解析】此处考察上下文逻辑关系。
前面说了不同的孩子对待同样的养育方式反应也是不同的，此句为例证，如果换一种养育方式，一个冷静而听话的孩子可能会比他的弟弟或妹妹反应更好些。
所以用表示举例分析的for example最合适，其他选项另外、偶尔、意外地都不合适。
3.【答案】A Fortunately【解析】此处考察副词词义辨析+上下文语境。
空格所在句指出：还有一类父母描述起来会容易一些，这类就是非常耐心的父母。
第一段告诉我们如何定义怎样才是好的父母是个难题，这里在上下文文义上是个转折，幸运地是/还好，有一类父母比较容易定义，并且各个年龄段的孩子都可以从他们的养育方式中获益。
故选Fortunately，其他选项偶尔，对应地，最终地都不合适。
4.【答案】C describe【解析】此处考察动词词义辨析+上下文语境。
第一段告诉我们如何定义怎样才是好的父母是个难题，第二段出现转折说但是有一类父母很好描述/定义，describe与define相呼应，故选C符合句意。
5.【答案】A while【解析】此处考察上下文逻辑关系。
空格所在句指出：虽然每位父母都想成为耐心的父母，但这并不容易。
逗号前后为转折关系，四个选项中while表转折，选A符合句意。

They（5）started out as a novelty feature, but as their use has grown, their（6）benefits have extended within our technologically advanced world. Particularly（7）useful in busy locations and during times of emergency, the doors（8）act as crowd management by reducing the obstacles put in people's way.（9）As well as making access both in and out of buildings easier for people, the difference in the way many of these doors open helps to reduce the total area（10）. occupied by them. Automatic doors often open to the side, with the panels sliding across one another. Replacing swing doors, these（11）allow smaller spaces to maximise the usable space inside without having to（12）clear the way for a large, sticking-out door. There are many different types of automatic door, with each（13）relying on specific signals to tell them when to open.（14）Although these methods differ, the main（15）principles remain the same.Each automatic door system（16）analyses the light, sound, weight, or movement in their vicinity as a signal. Sensor-types are chosen to（17）compare the different environments they are needed in.（18）For example, a busy road might not（19）suit a motion-sensored door, as it would constantly be opening for passers-by. A pressure-sensitive mat would be more（20）appropriate to limit the surveyed area.答案:1-10题：DCBAB CADAD 11-20题：ACCDC BDCBA。

2023年考研英语完形填空真题解析
考研英语完形填空真题解析The human nose is an underrated tool. Humans are often thought to be insensitive smellers compared with animals,1this is largely because,2animals, we stand upright. This means that our noses are 3 to perceiving those smells which float through the air, 4 the majority of smells which stick to surfaces. In fact, 5 , we are extremely sensitive to smells, 6 we do not generally realize it. Our noses are capable of 7 human smells even when these are 8 to far below one part in one million.Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another, 9 others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. This may be because some people do not have the genes necessary to generate 10 smell receptors in the nose. These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send 11 to the brain. However, it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smell 12 can suddenly become sensitive to it when 13 to it often enough.The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that the brain finds it 14 to keep all smell receptors working all the time but can 15 new receptors if necessary. This may 16 explain why we are not usually sensitive to our own smells-we simply do not need to be. We are not 17 of the usual smell of our own house, but we 18 new smells when we visit someone else's. The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors 19 for unfamiliar and emergency signals 20 the smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire.1. [A] although[B] as[C] but[D] while2.

The study of English, to be sure,【C14】______from its own discontents: it isn"t a science, and so the "research" you do is not really research. So why have English majors? Well, because many people like books. Most of those like to talk about them after they"ve read them, or while they"re in the middle.

2022考研英语一完整答案加解析
2022考研英语一完整答案加解析完形填空1.[A] 本题考查介词的辨析。
空格所在部分填入介词，第二句后半部分是进一步说明，前后递进关系，所以只能选A besides.2.[C] 本题考查并列关系。
所选的词前有并列连词and, 所以前后位对应关系，and之前说，拥抱能让你感觉跟别人跟亲近，那么and后也应该为令人关系亲密的，所以选connected，有联系的。
其他意思都不符合。
3.[B] A本题考查固定短语的辨析。
空格处的名词构成的短语是a...of ..。
只有a host of 表示许多的，很多的，填入到文章中，表示很多的健康利益。
其他一般不跟a ...of .搭配用，而且套入之后，意思也不符合。
4.[A] 本题考查动词的用法。
这几个此后都可以用动名词做宾语，但是意思完全是不一样的。
本句说，一个温暖的拥抱能够帮助你____得病。
此处，一定是避免让你得病，所以只有A选项符合。

空格处填入的动词是说，这项研究涉及或者包含的多少人，其他词从意思上与此不匹配。
比较容易混的是collecting,但它指集合、搜集的意思。
6.[A] 本题考查固定搭配。
空格处填入的介词与前边effect是一体的，effect后边的of之后的部分都是修饰effect的，把of到hugs部分去掉，答案自然就出来了，指对参与者敏感性的影响。
只有effecton sth符合。
7.[D] 本题考查动词的辨析。
文章说在___-病菌后容易感冒，那一定是接触到病菌后容易感冒了，be e某posed to sth接触...,最符合意思。
因此，D e某posed为正确答案。
8.[C] 本题考查固定搭配。
Come downwith 得病，生病的意思，此处翻译为：容易得感冒;come along with随同;come across with偿付;come out with 发表，出版。

These would emphasise the primacy of human activity in recent climate change and encourage discussion of mitigation measures.Most scientists and experts sharply dispute Hardy’s views.“They casually dismiss the career work of scholars and scientists as just another misguided opinion.”says Dan Quinn,senior communications strategist at the Texas Freedom Network,a non-profit group that monitors public education，“What millions of Texas kids learn in their public schools is determined too often by the political ideology of partisan board members,rather than facts and sound scholarship.”Such debate reflects fierce discussion discussions across the US and around the world,as researchers,policymakers,teachers and students step up demands for a greater focus on teaching about the facts of climate change in schools.A study last year by the National Center for Science Education,a non-profit group of scientists and teachers,looking at how state public schools across the country address climate change in science classes,gave barely half of US states a grade B+or higher.Among the10worst performers were some of the most populous states,including Texas,which was given the lowest grade(F)and has a disproportionate influence because its textbooks are widely sold elsewhere.Glenn Branch,the centre’s deputy director,cautions that setting state-level science standards is only one limited benchmark in a country that decentralises decisions to local school boards.Even if a state is considered a high performer in its science standards,“that does not mean it will be taught”,he says.Another issue is that while climate change is well integrated into some subjects and at some ages—such as earth and space sciences in highschools—it is not as well represented in curricula for younger children and in subjects that are more widely taught,such as biology and chemistry. It is also less prominent in many social studies courses.Branch points out that,even if a growing number of official guidelines and textbooks reflect scientific consensus on climate change, unofficial educational materials that convey more slanted perspectives are being distributed to teachers.They include materials sponsored by libertarian think-tanks and energy industry associations.21.In paragraph1,the weather in Texas is mentioned toA.forecast a policy shift in Texas schools.B.stress the consequences of climate changeC.indicate the atmosphere at the board meetingD.draw the public's attention to energy shortages.[答案]C22.What does Quinn think of Hardy?A.she exaggerates the existing panicB.she denies the value of scientific workC.she shows no concern for pre-teens.D.she expresses self-contradictory views.[答案]B23.The study mentioned in Paragraph_A.climate education is insufficient at state public schools.B policy makers have lttle drive for science education.C.Texas is reluctant to rewrite its science textbooks.D.environmental teaching in some states lacks supervision.[答案]A24.According to Branch,state-level science standards in the US_A.call for regular revisionB.require urgent applicationC.have limited influenceD.cater to local needs[答案]C25.Itis implied in the last paragraph that climate change teaching in some schools_A.agree to major public demandsB.reflects teachers'personal biasC.may misrepresent the energy sectorD.can be swayed by external forces[答案]DText2Communities throughout the region have been attempting to regulate short-term rentals since sites like Airbnb took off in the2010s.Now, with record-high home prices and historically low inventory,there’s an increased urgency in such regulation,particularly among those who worry that developers will come in and buy up swaths of housing to flip for a fortune on the short-term rental market.In New Hampshire,where the rental vacancy rate has dropped below1 percent,housing advocates fear unchecked short-term rentals will put further pressure on an already strained market.The state Legislature recently voted against a bill that would’ve made it illegal for towns to create legislation restricting short-term rentals.“We are at a crisis level on the supply of rental housing,so anytime you’re taking the tool out of the toolkit for communities to address this, you’re potentially taking supply off the market that’s already incredibly stressed,’’said Nick Taylor,executive director of the Workforce Housing Coalition of the Greater Seacoast.Without enough affordable housing insouthern New Hampshire towns,“employers are having a hard time attracting employees,and workers are having a hard time finding a place to live,’’Taylor said.However,short-term rentals also provide housing for tourists,a crucial part of the economies in places like Nantucket,Cape Cod,or the towns that make up New Hampshire’s Seacoast and Lakes Region,pointed out Ryan Castle,CEO of the Cape Cod&Islands Association of Realtors.“A lot of workers are servicing the tourist industry,and the tourism industry is serviced by those people coming in short term,’’Castle said,“and so it’s a cyclical effect.’’Short-term rentals themselves are not the crux of the issue,said Keren Horn,an affordable housing policy expert at the University of Massachusetts Boston.“I think individuals being able to rent out their second home is a good thing.If it’s their vacation home anyway,and it’s just empty,why can’t you make money off it?’’Horn said.Issues arise, however,when developers attempt to create large-scale short-term rental facilities—de facto hotels—to bypass taxes and regulations.“I think the question is,shouldn’t a developer who’s really building a hotel,but disguising it as not a hotel,be treated and taxed and regulated like a hotel?’’Horn said.At the end of2018,Governor Charlie Baker signed a bill to rein in those potential investor-buyers.“The bill requires every rental host to register with the state,mandates they carry insurance,and opens the potential for local taxes on top of a new state levy,’’the Globe reported. Boston took things even further,limiting who is authorized to rent out their home,and requiring renters to register with the city’s Inspectional Services Department.Horn said similar registration requirements could benefit other struggling cities and towns.The only way to solve the issue,however, is by creating more housing.“If we want to make a change in the housing market,the main one is we have to build a lot more.’’26.Which of the following is true of New England?A.Its housing supply is at a very low level.B.Its communities are in need of funding.C.Its rental vacancy rate is going up slowlyD.Its home prices are under strict control.[答案]A27.The bill mentioned in Pargaph2was intended toA.cutb sortem enta speculation.B.ensure the supply of cheap housing.C.punish ilgal dealings in housing.D.allow a free short-term rental market.[答案]Dpared with Castle,Taylor is more likely to supportA.further investment in local tourism.B.an increase in affordable housing.C.strict management of real estate agents.D.a favorable policy for short-term workers.[答案]B29.What does Horn emphasize in Paragraph?A.The urgency to upgrade short-term rental facilities.B.The efficient operation of the local housing market.C.The necessty to stop developers from evading taxes.D.The proper procedures for renting out spare houses. [答案]C30.Horn holds that imposing registration requirements1SA.an irrational decision.B.an unfeasible proposalC.an unnecessary measure.D.an inadequate solution.[答案]DText3If you’re heading for your nearest branch of Waterstones in search of the Duchess of Sussex’s new children’s book The Bench,you might have to be prepared to hunt around a bit;the same may be true of The President's Daughter,the new thriller by Bill Clinton and James Patterson.Both of these books are published next week by Penguin Random House,a company currently involved in a stand-off with Waterstones.The problem began late last year,when Penguin Random House confirmed that it had introduced a credit limit with Waterstones“at a very significant level”.The trade magazine The Bookseller reported that Waterstones branch managers were being told to remove PRH books from prominent areas such as tables,display spaces and windows,and were “quietly retiring them to their relevant sections”.PRH declined to comment on the issue,but a spokesperson for Waterstones told me:“Waterstones are currently operating with reduced credit terms from PRH,the only publisher in the UK to place any limitations on our ability to trade.We are not boycotting PRH titles but we are doing our utmost to ensure that availability for customers remains good despite the lower overall levels of stock.We do this generally by giving their titles less prominent positioning within our bookshops.“We are hopeful with our shops now open again that normality will return and that we will be allowed to buy appropriately.Certainly,our shops are exceptionally busy and book sales are very strong.The sales for our May Books of the Month surpassed any month since2018.”In the meantime,PRH authors have been the losers-as have customers, who might expect the new titles from the country’s biggest publisher to be prominently displayed by its biggest book retailer.Big-name PRH authors may suffer a bit,but it’s those mid-list authors,who normally rely on Waterstones staff’s passion for promoting books by lesser-known writers,who will be praying for an end to the dispute.It comes at a time when authors are already worried about the consequences of the proposed merger between PRH and another big publisher, Simon&Schuster-the reduction in the number of unaligned UK publishers is likely to lead to fewer bidding wars,lower advances,and more conformity in terms of what is published.And one wonders if PRH would have been confident enough to deal with Waterstones in the way it has ifit weren’t quite such a big company(it was formed with the merger of Penguin and Random House in2013)and likely to get bigger.“This is all part of a wider change towards concentration of power and cartels.Literary agencies are getting bigger to have the clout to negotiate better terms with publishers,publishers consolidating to deal with Amazon,”says Lownie.“The publishing industry talks about diversity in terms of authors and staff but it also needs a plurality of ways of delivering intellectual contact,choice and different voices.

The scientific community measures the quality of those papers in a number of ways,including the perceived quality of the journal(as reflected by the title’s impact factor)and the number of citations a specific paper accumulates.The careers of scientists and the reputation of their institutions depend on the number and prestige of the papers they produce, but even more so on the citations attracted by these papers.In recent years,there have been several episodes of scientific fraud, including completely made-up data,massaged or doctored figures,multiple publications of the same data,theft of complete articles,plagiarism oftext,and self-plagiarism.And some scientists have come up with another way to artificially boost the number of citations to their work.Citation cartels,where journals,authors,and institutions conspire to inflate citation numbers,have existed for a long time.In2016, researchers developed an algorithm to recognize suspicious citation patterns,including groups of authors that disproportionately cite one another and groups of journals that cite each other frequently to increase the impact factors of their publications.Recently,I came across yet another expression of this predatory behavior:so-called support service consultancies that provide language and other editorial support to individual authors and to journals sometimes advise contributors to add a number of citations to their articles and the articles of colleagues. Some of these consultancies are also active in organizing conferences and can advise that citations be added to conference proceedings.In this manner,a single editor can drive hundreds of citations in the direction of his own articles or those of colleagues that may be in his circle.How insidious is this type of citation manipulation?In one example, an individual—acting as author,editor,and consultant—was able to use at least15journals as citation providers to articles published by five scientists at three universities.The problem is rampant in Scopus,which includes a high number of the new“international”journals.In fact, a listing in Scopus seems to be a criterion to be targeted in this type of citation manipulation.36.According to Paragraph1.the careers of scientists can be determined by_A how many citations their works containB how many times their papers are citedC.the prestige of the people they work withD.the status they have in scientific circles[答案]B37.The support service consultancies tend toA.recommend journals to their clients.B.list citation patterns their clients.C.ask authors to include extra citationsD.advise contributors to cite each other[答案]C38.The Function of the“milk cow"journals is toA.boost citation counts for certain authorsB.help scholars publish articles at low costC.instruct F irst-time contributors in citationD.increase the readership of new journals.[答案]A39.What can be learned about Scopus From the last two paragraphs?A.It Fosters competition among citation providersB.It has the capability to identify suspicious citationsC.It hinders the growth of"international"journalsD.It established to prevent citation manipulation[答案]B40.What should an author do to deal with citation manipulators?A.Take legal actionB.Demand an apologyC.Seek professional adviceD.Reveal their misconduct[答案]D三、阅读理解Part B下列每小题的四个选项中,只有-项是最符合题意的正确答案,多选、错选或不选均不得分。

2006年考研英语完形填空真题答案解析1.A逻辑关系题(总分关系)根据要填的空所在语句的前一句“无家可归者在美国人口中所占比例越来越大”与后一句“无家可归者所占的比例已经达到如此地步以至于…”，并不难发现后一句是对前一句的一个例证和强调。
ABCD四个选项中，A.Indeed的确，一般表示强调;B.Likewise类似地，表示前后两句的相似性;C.Therefore因此，是一个因果连词，强调结果;而D.Furthermore进一步说，表示递进关系。
因此，只有A选项符合前后两句间的例证强调关系，故为正确答案。
2.B词义辨析题(动词辨析)考察动词的辨析，首先要找到空所在那句话的主干，即“homelessnesshasreachedsuchproportionsthatlocalgovernmentcan’tpossibly__”，该句给出了动作的发出者(主语)，即localgovernment，那么只要判断出该主语可以发出选项中的哪个动作，问题就迎刃而解了;此外，空后没有其他成分，即宾语，因此，填入的动词应为不及物动词。
ABCD四个选项中，A.stand，忍受，及物动词，不符合句子结构;B.cope，处理，忍受，不及物动词，放在原句中表达完整意思，“…已达到政府无法忍受的地步”，为正确选项;C.approve，批准，通常“批准”的是文件，与原句语言环境不符;而D.retain，保留，与无家可归人的数量搭配在一起不合适。
因此，正确答案为B.cope。
3.D固定搭配题(介词辨析)选项中的四个介词都可以与help搭配，分别构成：A.helpsb.indoingsth.帮助某人做某事;B.helpsb.for为…而帮助某人;C.helpsb.withsth.帮助某人处理某事;D.helpsb.toward…帮助某人向(某个方向发展)。
结合语境具体信息，“Tohelphomelesspeople__independence,thefederalgovernmentmust…”，“为帮助无家可归人__独立，联邦政府必须支持就业培训计划…”，D选项toward最符合题意，故为正确答案。
4.A词义辨析+逻辑关系题(动词辨析+并列关系)通过并列连词and及三个结构相似的短语：“supportjobtrainingprograms”，“__theminimumwage”和“fundmorelow-costhousing”可以判断出这道题考查的是短语之间的并列关系，通过并列关系一致性的原则从所给短语中寻找线索就可以解答这道题。
第三个短语中出现了more，说明要填的动词一定表示数量上的增加或提高，C(take，拿走)和D(keep，保持)排除;而B选项add通常用在addsth.tosth.(将某物加到另一物上面)中，并非数量的增加。
因此，正确答案为A选项，“提高最低收入”。
5.D词义辨析题(副词辨析)选项中出现表示否定意味的词语，且该空位于段首，无法通过上文获取提示信息，因此应先解答6、7等题，才能获取有效信息。
第6题所在语句意为：估计数字在60万到300万这个范围内变化;第7题所在语句意为：尽管数字可能不同，分析师们在另一问题上达成了一致意见。
由此可见，对于无家可归者数量的问题众说纷纭，因此，并非每个人都同意美国无家可归者的数量。
正确答案为D.not。
6.C词义辨析题(动词辨析)“Estimates__anywherefrom60,000to3million.”，该句中的anywherefrom…to…决定所填动词表示一个范围的变化，并可与from…to…搭配。
A.cover，覆盖，不能与from…to搭配;B.change，变化，改变，changefrom…to…，表示没有规律的变化;C.range，在某个范围内变化，符合原句;D.differ，不同于…，常与from连用，构成differfrom…，不同于…，不符合题意。
因此，正确答案为C.range。
7.B逻辑关系题(逻辑关系词)该题是对逻辑关系词的考察，要根据空前后两句的逻辑关系确定答案。
“thefiguremayvary”与“analystsdoagreeonanothermatter”中的mayvary与doagreeon语义相反，故该句的逻辑关系可以定位为让步/转折。
四个选项中，只有B选项，although(尽管)表示让步关系，因此正确答案是B。
8.C词义辨析题(动词辨析)选项中的四个动词都表示某种上升的趋势，要确定答案需找出空所在那句话的主干，即：thenumberofthehomelessis__。
该句给出了动作的发出者thenumber，只要确定选项中哪一动作可以由其发出就可以了，只有C选项increasing表示数量的增加，故为正确答案。
而其他三个选项，A.inflate表示体积的膨胀，物价的膨胀，多用在经济类文章中;B.expand表示范围(四面八方)的扩大;D.extend强调线性延伸。
9.A词义辨析题(动词辨析)通过后文的将来时(will)可以判断出所填动词与预测将来某种情况有关，只有A选项predicts(预测、预计)符合文意。
B选项displays意为展示;C选项proves证明;D选项discovers 发现都不符合题意。
10.A词义辨析题(动词辨析)前两段叙述了无家可归者的问题并加以分析，本段是对其解决方案的讨论，因此填入得动词应表达“帮助”的意思;此外，空所在句子主干是…__thisgrowinghomelesspopulation…，给出了动作的承受者(宾语)，只有A.assist(帮助)与之搭配最合适。
B.track，追踪，想办法追踪无家可归者变得越来越困难，不合句子含义;C.sustain，承受，支持;及D.dismiss，解散虽然符合句子含义，但与上文没有联系。
因此，正确答案为A。
11.C逻辑关系题(逻辑关系词)该题是对逻辑关系词的考察，要根据前后两句的逻辑关系确定答案。
前半句“无家可归者找到提供一日三餐和睡觉的地方”，后半句“仍然有很多人…”不难发现，前后两句存在让步关系，语义相反，只有C选项，even(尽管)表示这种关系，因此正确答案是C。
12.B词义辨析题(名词辨析)该空由定语从句“thatwillgivethemthreemealsadayandaplacetosleepatnight”(一个能提供一日三餐和晚上睡觉的地方)修饰限定，因此要填入的名词需要满足这些条件。
选项中的四个名词都有“住处”的意思，但只有B.shelter(避难所)符合题意。
而A.lodging寄宿处、C.dwelling 住处(正常的居住地)、D.house房屋都不符合。
13.D词义辨析题(动词辨析)该题要填入的词语为动词的现在分词形式。
根据11题填入的even(让步关系)，可以判断主从成分之间语义相反，句子的前半部分提到无家可归者有吃有住，那么后半句就要叙述其流浪街头的事实。
A选项中searching搜寻、B选项strolling漫步(悠闲自在的)均不符合题意;而C选项crowding(挤入)是不及物动词，不能与thestreet直接搭配;只有D选项wandering 流浪与句意相呼应。
14.C逻辑关系题(逻辑关系词)该题是对逻辑关系词的考察，要根据前后两句的逻辑关系确定答案。
前半句“其他许多人__，既不嗜酒，也没有精神障碍”，后半句“他们缺乏使得生活…的技能”，很显然，前后两句语义相反，构成转折关系，只有C选项，while(尽管)表示这种关系，因此正确答案是C。
15.C词义辨析题(名词辨析)空处要填入的形容词修饰的是skills(技能)，前修饰语everyday(日常的)说明这是一种生活、生存技能;后置定语neededtoturntheirlives…(使自己生活变得…)则将此技能范围缩小到生存技能。
A.lifeskills生活技能;B.existenceskills存在技能，没有这种搭配;C.survivalskills生存技能;D.maintenanceskills维护技能。
只有C选项符合文意。
16.A固定搭配题(介词辨析)该题考查与turn搭配的短语。
根据上下文，无家可归者缺乏使自己生活好转的日常生存技能。
只有A选项around与turn搭配表示“出现转机”，因此为正确答案。
而其他三个选项B.over、C.on、D.up与turn搭配分别表示移交、打开(开关)、开大(开关)的意思，均不符合题意。
17.B词义辨析题(形容词辨析)空处要填入的形容词修饰的是programs(规划)，而programs又带了一个后置定语对其限定，即：该规划可以解决无家可归者的很多需求。
后置定语中的many决定了该规划应该是全面的。
plex复杂的;prehensive全面的;plementary互补的;pensating补偿的。
因此，只有A 选项符合题意。
18.C逻辑关系题(逻辑关系词)该题是对逻辑关系词的考察，要根据前后两句的逻辑关系确定答案。
上一句中“comprehensiveprograms(全面的计划)”与后一句中“apackagedeal(一揽子计划)”很显然是例证关系，只有C选项，As(正如)表示这种关系，因此正确答案是C。
19.A词义辨析题(动词辨析)该句的主干是“EdwardBlotkowsk__it…”，后面引出其传达的信息或表达的观点，只有A选项中puts用于口语中表示“说，表达”的意思;B选项中interprets意为：口译，阐释;C 选项assumes意为：认为;D选项makes意为制造，都不符合题意。
20.D词义辨析题(名词辨析)根据上句中的comprehensiveprograms和文末的apackagedeal可以判断出要完成该规划，需要各方协调一致，相互合作。
A.supervision监督;B.manipulation操作;C.regulation管理;D.coordination协调，只有D选项符合语境信息。
