【解析】考查學生的文章理解能力以及綜合語法運用能力。

【1】考查定語從句的關系詞。句意：一位研究者做了一個報道，說有很多錢會讓你變成壞人。這里report后接定語從句對其修飾限定，用關系代詞that /which指代report。

【2】句意：Paul Piff教授花十年時間觀察富有的人的人格。spend +時間+（in）doing something花時間做某事，故填looking。

【3】句意：Paul Piff教授花十年時間觀察富有的人的人格，發(fā)現(xiàn)他們的行為不同于窮人的行為。并列連詞and后接的成分和spent一致，用一般過去時，故填found。

【4】固定搭配be different from“不同于”，故填from。

【5】句意：富人更可能破壞規(guī)章制度，不遵守法律，以及不關心他人。這里rule是可數(shù)名詞，用復數(shù)形式，故填rules。

【6】考查形容詞。句意：富有讓你更擔心自己的利益，自己的要求以及自己的福利。worried“擔心的”。

【7】句意：他補充說富人認為他們自己的目標和需要是他們生活中最重要的事情。這里用形容詞的最高級形式the most important。故填important。

【8】考查不定式表示目的。句意：窮人比富人給出更大比例的錢來幫助他人。這里表示目的，故用不定式to help。

【9】句意：你越富有越吝嗇。這里用比較級表示“越來越”，故填wealthier。

【10】考查連詞。句意：但是，他說富有的人可以改變他們的行為，他們可以變得更善良更慷慨。nicer和 more generous之間是并列關系，故用連詞and。
