Be a Civic-minded Tourist
In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in the number of Chinese tourists traveling both home and abroad. However, along with this surge are some uncivil behaviors, which have received fierce criticism. For example, some tourists may smoke, talk loudly, throw trash around, or even scrawl on cultural relics in the scenic spots.
Personally, I hate such misbehaviors and believe that the government should take some measures to tackle this problem. First, we should set up a system to keep track of those who misbehave in scenic spots. If they are spotted three times, we could blacklist them and reject their admission in their subsequent visits. Second, the authorities concerned could impose a fine on those who damage the environment in the scenic spots. For instance, for every item littered, a 50 RMB fine is imposed.
In short, some severe measures like blacklist and financial penalty should be adopted to prevent tourists from behaving inappropriately.

2.【C1】
C
解析：此处应为名词。名词词库中，只有help可构成with the help of用法，表示“在……的帮助下”，符合语义。
3.【C2】
J
解析：此处应为形容词，作表语。下文讲的都是有关试管婴儿的健康问题，据此可知此处是讲专家关心这类小孩是否健康，healthy符合文意。
4.【C3】
L
解析：此处应为形容词，修饰arms or heads。由上文just fine“还好”可知此处是说手臂或者头是正常的。由空前的not like可知此处应为贬义，填入extra表示“多手臂或多头的小孩”，符合语义。
5.【C4】
M
解析：此处应为名词。上文说到“没人年龄超过30来岁”，据此可知此处应该表达“大部分在20岁以下”，the vast majority是常见表达，表示“绝大多数”，符合语义。故选majority。
6.【C5】
A
解析：此处应为动词。根据空后的2．5 kilograms可知此处为“重”之义，weigh符合。
7.【C6】
F
解析：此处应为副词，修饰conceived。此空所在句用more likely…than…表比较，从语义上看，与through IVF(通过体外受精而怀孕)作比较的应该是“自然怀孕”，不难选择naturally。
8.【C7】
G
解析：are后面要接动词过去分词形式表被动，在宾语从句中作谓语动词。下文出现的gene-expression很好地提示此处应选expressed。
9.【C8】
B
解析：此处应为名词。根据文意，被用来产出试管婴儿的应该是一项技术(即体外受孕技术)。technology符合此意。
10.【C9】
E
解析：此处应为形容词，作表语。空后的whether表明不确定性，词库中unsure和unclear都含有“不确定”之义，但是unsure的主语一般为人，unclear的主语一般为物，根据句子的主语It可知应选unclear。
11.【C10】
I
解析：此处应为形容词。上文提到各种不确定因素，此空所在句句首用But表转折，说明由体外受精生出的小孩在某种程度上是“独一无二的”，选unique。

12.Based on standard economics, additional wealth can provide more options.

解析：本题讲述标准的经济学原理，应该是属于专家的看法，故应定位在What do the experts say?小标题下的A至D段。再根据standard economics及additional wealth等信息可定位至C段第2句。该句所述与本题一致，故答案为C。
