【解析】考查学生的文章理解能力以及综合语法运用能力。

【1】考查定语从句的关系词。句意：一位研究者做了一个报道，说有很多钱会让你变成坏人。这里report后接定语从句对其修饰限定，用关系代词that /which指代report。

【2】句意：Paul Piff教授花十年时间观察富有的人的人格。spend +时间+（in）doing something花时间做某事，故填looking。

【3】句意：Paul Piff教授花十年时间观察富有的人的人格，发现他们的行为不同于穷人的行为。并列连词and后接的成分和spent一致，用一般过去时，故填found。

【4】固定搭配be different from“不同于”，故填from。

【5】句意：富人更可能破坏规章制度，不遵守法律，以及不关心他人。这里rule是可数名词，用复数形式，故填rules。

【6】考查形容词。句意：富有让你更担心自己的利益，自己的要求以及自己的福利。worried“担心的”。

【7】句意：他补充说富人认为他们自己的目标和需要是他们生活中最重要的事情。这里用形容词的最高级形式the most important。故填important。

【8】考查不定式表示目的。句意：穷人比富人给出更大比例的钱来帮助他人。这里表示目的，故用不定式to help。

【9】句意：你越富有越吝啬。这里用比较级表示“越来越”，故填wealthier。

【10】考查连词。句意：但是，他说富有的人可以改变他们的行为，他们可以变得更善良更慷慨。nicer和 more generous之间是并列关系，故用连词and。
