【解析】to build。动词use后面常接for sth.或to do sth.，表示使用某物的目的以此次数应填入build的不定式结构to build。

29．She want to apply for a new job as her present job is not (interest) _____

【解析】interesting。在词句中，as所引导的是一个原因状语从句，而在该从句中，主语为her present job，谓语为系动词is，因此此处缺少一个形容词作表语，对主语起到修饰说明的作用，所以此处应填入interest的形容词interesting。

30．The UK economy last year performed (well) _____ than expected according to

the report.

【解析】better。本句考查的是比较级的用法，句中出现了比较级的标志词than，比较的是去年英国经济的表现和预期的英国经济的表现。well在句中修饰动词performed，因此空格处需填入well的比较级better。

31．With the (introduce) _____ of the Internet, more and more people preferred to do business online.

【解析】introduction。句中With引导是伴随性状语，表示“随着……”。With 后需要跟名词做宾语，因此此处需要填入introduce的名词形式introduction，意为“引进，引入”。

32．No one (allow) _____ to take any reading materials out of the reading room. 【解析】is allowed。句子的主语是no one，谓语动词是allow，主语与谓语间是被动关系，因此需要填入allow的过去分词allowed。并且由于主语no one 是第三人称单数，需要借助is来帮助构成被动，所以此处应该填入is allowed。

33．The machine suddenly stopped (work) _____ because of the power cut.

【解析】working。本句中空格所填词需要与stop构成搭配，表示“停止工作”。动词stop之后可以接不定式也可以接动名词，stop to do sth.表示“停下来去做某事”，stop doing sth. 表示“停下做某事”。根据句子意思，停电导致了机器的停止工作，故此处因使用stop doing sth.，所以应填入work 的动名词working。

34．We can not make (nature) _____ recourses, but gather then from the earth.【解析】natural。空格处谓语句子的谓语和宾语之间，且句子中主语、谓语、宾语完整，由此可知此处需填入一个形容词对宾语resources进行修饰，

因此此处填入nature的形容词natural。

35．The company (employ) _____ more than 50 IT engineers since last year.

【解析】has employed。句中有明显的现在完成时的标志词since，时间状语为since last year。句子的主语是The company，空格处是句子的谓语，且主语The company是第三人称单数，因此此处应填employ的现在完成时has employed.
