语言知识
It is a success in so far as more women retain their youthful
appearance to a greater age than in the past. \\
1.【M1】
extinctive—extinct
解析：词汇错误。extinctive表示“使消减的：消灭的”，这里是说“老太太”现在很少见了，在几年后可能彻底地销声匿迹，extinct本身就是形容词，表示“灭绝的，消逝的”，放在这里符合语义。
2.【M2】
but一and
解析：语篇错误。本句前半部分是说“追求美丽也是追求健康，这种努力是值得赞许的”。接下来提到“也真的获得了成功”，从语义逻辑上判断是一致的，并没有转折的意味，所以用and连接，表示并列关系。
3.【M3】
∧poorer—of
解析：语法错误。本句主语是Beauty，后面是that引导的定语从句，主句则是beauty…is intrinsically poorer quality，此处表示的意思是“这种美丽是品质低劣的”，intrinsically是副词．这里应该用来修饰形容词，所以用“of+名词”的结构，相当于形容词。
4.【M4】
prosperity—prosperous
解析：语法错误。prosperity是名词，表示“兴旺，繁荣”，不能直接搭配名词person，也不能被副词moderately修饰，所以应改为形容词形式prosperous。本句意为“如今每个中等富裕的人都买得起相关装备以装扮出健康模样”。
5.【M5】
∧universally一be
解析：语法错误。本句的意思是“如何真正获得健康的知识在日益增长，且无疑会得到适时而普遍的推广”，主语是the knowledge．谓语是act upon(推广)，两者是被动关系，因此要加be动词形成被动语态，由于前面有will，直接用be即可。
6.【M6】
his一her
解析：词汇错误。此处不是用his作人称代词指代every person，而是前文提到的every woman，因此要改为her。
7.【M7】
as∧一of
解析：语法错误。此处是内在美与外在美的比较，as…as…结构，第二个as的对象是an affair ofthe outer self，为了避免重复，an affair可以省略，但of不能省略，否则就成了an affair of the inner和the outer self的对比了．形式不对称．故要在as后加of。
8.【M8】
the(matter)一a
解析：词汇错误。这里首次提到瓷瓶，强调它的美丽是取决于它的形状、颜色和表面质地，并未特指某个瓷瓶及其形状，仅仅是泛指，用来与人的美丽进行比较，所以将定冠词改成不定冠词。
9.【M9】
as一去掉as
解析：语法错误。此处不是词组as to“关于”，而是固定搭配make no difference to“对……没有影响”，故删掉as。本句意为“瓶子可以是空的，可以由蜘蛛人住，可以装满蜂蜜，也可以装满发恶臭的烂泥，这一切都影响不到瓷瓶的美或丑”。
10.【M10】
lively一alive
解析：词汇错误。lively和alive都是形容词，但表示的含义有所不同。lively表示“充满活力的，活泼的”，在此处与上下文不符。前文将瓷瓶的美与人的美作比较，强调人是活的，因此要用alive。
The debate about problem drinking and how to stop it
nowadays centres most on the working-class young. They are【M1】______
highly visible—and inaudible—as they clog city centres on【M2】______
Saturday nights. But a chapter in a forthcoming book, Intoxication
and Society, by Philip Withington, a Cambridge historian, argues
that it was the educated elite whom taught Britons how to drink to【M3】______
excess.
In the 17th century, England experienced a rise in
educational enrolment unsurpassedly until the early 20th century.
Illiteracy inclined and the universities of Cambridge and Oxford,【M4】______
as well as the Inns of Court and Chancery where barristers learned
their craft, brimming with affluent young men. This was the【M5】______
crucial period which modern drinking culture was formed. Mr【M6】______
Withington\’s description of 17th-century drinking practices will
sound familiar to anybody who has been within a few miles of a
British university. It was characterised by two conflicting aims.
Men were to consume large qualities of alcohol in keeping with【M7】______
conventions of excess. Yet they also supposed to remain in control【M8】______
of their faculties, bantering and displaying wit. Students and
would-be lawyers formed drinking societies, where they learned
the social—and drinking—skills required of gentlemen.
A market in instruction quickly emerged. Collections filled
with jokes, quotes and fun facts proliferated, promised to teach, as【M9】______
