16.dodo解析：解析見上題，為了避免與前面的know重復(fù)，這里可以換做do。故答案為do。

17.whowho解析：此空后的句子顯然為定語從句，修飾“Behaviorists”，所以應(yīng)填一個who，引導(dǎo)修飾人的定語從句。

18.productionproduction解析：從前一句話“Themanufacturersgobeyondonlytellingconsumersabouttheirproducts．”可以看出，一方面廣告要介紹自己的產(chǎn)品，而第二個目的就是賣掉自己的產(chǎn)品。所以這里作者想要表達的意思是“廣告要使得顧客有一種購買的欲望去購買自己的產(chǎn)品。”故答案為production。

19.productionproduction解析：從前一句話“Themanufacturersgobeyondonlytellingconsumersabouttheirproducts.”可以看出，一方面廣告要介紹自己的產(chǎn)品，而第二個目的就是賣掉自己的產(chǎn)品。所以這里作者想要表達的意思是“廣告要使得顧客有一種購買的欲望去購買自己的產(chǎn)品。”故答案為production。

20.thatthat解析：此空后的內(nèi)容為maintain的內(nèi)容，即此空后的句子為maintain的賓語，應(yīng)填一個可引導(dǎo)賓語從句的詞。

21.withwith解析：根據(jù)對等關(guān)系，這里應(yīng)該與后面的部分“apersonwithagoodunderstanding”相對應(yīng)。意思是“那些腳踏實地的人往往是那些很了解現(xiàn)實的人。”故答案為with。

22.awareaware解析：beawareof，固定搭配，意為“意識到”。所以此處應(yīng)填“aware”。

23.especiallyespecially解析：“Around1980many．Japanese，______youngpeople…”，“1980年左右許多日本人，尤其是年輕人…”，所以此處應(yīng)填“especially”。

24.paperpaper解析：由前一句“…arenowpaperthrowaways．”可知，“不久以后我們將穿由紙制作的衣服。”

25.boughtbought解析：本句的前一句話說“顧客認為他們需要一些他們其實不需要的商品。”這就是廣告的作用。但是買完之后，“他們卻不知道當時為什么買了這種商品。”這里是被動的句式。故答案為bought。

26.A解析：由A中內(nèi)容的introduction中“…providingaround20%oftheworld'selectricity.”可知答案為A。

27.C解析：由短文倒數(shù)第二段可知美國只有四個州沒有importtaxes。美國一共50個州，所以應(yīng)該有46個有importtaxes。

28.D解析：由D中的第三段“Inthesecondpart，thediscussionisextendedtoincludethepossibi
