32、ies, 10.(lead)to future advantages that are magnified(扩大)throughout life.”答案与解析1.a此处是第一次提到,表示泛指,且sample的发音是以辅音音素开头的,故用不定冠词。2.were born句子的主语与动词之间是被动关系,且表示过去发生的事情,故用一般过去时的被动语态。3.findings根据空前的their可知,此处应填名词。又根据谓语indicate可知,此处指多个发现,故用findings。4.less likely根据上面的研究可知,此处表示夏天出生的婴儿由于出生日期的影响,成为CEO的可能性更小。5.while此处表示两种情况的对比。句意:在6月和7月之间出生的学生是班里最小的,而在3月到4月间出生的是最大的。6.taking此处是现在分词短语作伴随状语,“把考虑在内”。7.birthdays根据前面的children可知,此处应用名词的复数。8.ofahead of schedule“提前”。9.to performtend to do sth.“倾向于做某事”是固定用法。10.leading此处是表示自然而然的结果,故用现在分词形式。
