G) percentage空格前为形容词 small，后为 of people，因此应填入名词。结合文意可知，只有一小部分人具备“完全男性”或“完全女性” 的特征。percentage 意为“百分比”，a small percentage of意为“一小部分”，所以应填入 G）。32. O) tra

D对应关键词 wireless security system, 和 conversation 在原文中有复现.38. J 选项中 wireless security system,和 triggering the alarm 可以在 J
12、 选项中找到对应.39. FSimpliSafe, 大写名词很好定位，在加上复现的 distinguish，radio interference 可以锁定选项 F。40. B根据 small proportion 可以确定唯一的选项 B41. H对应关键词 keeps changing42. C对应关键词 transmit signals, 和 activate.43.
