16.workwork解析：根據上文，對比的是對工作的態度，所以此處應填“work”。

17.toto解析：“incontrastto”為固定搭配，意為“與…相對比”。所以此處應填“to”。

18.notnot解析：此空前半句意為“我們真地生活在污染中，呼吸著它”，而后半句意為“它開始…我們的健康、幸福和文明。”顯然，這是因果關系，故中間的surprisingly前只能加個否定詞not。

19.creativitycreativity解析：本文是在講述報酬、表揚與創造性的關系，此句意為“但是小心地使用小量的金錢報酬能激起分級學校孩子們的…”顯然，空處應填“創造性”。

20.thosethose解析：本句的意思是“他們不認為自己比別的不重要的人更好、更優秀。”這里比較的是down—to—earthpersons和別人。故答案為those。

21.rationalrational解析：從文章的后面可以知道，顧客們已經要結算了，認為都買了該買的商品。但是售貨員在他們等著付賬的過程中巧妙的利用顧客們的購物沖動向他們推銷，而不是理性購物。故答案為rational。

22.workwork解析：本句意為“我們以前已經嘗試過，但是不…。”顯然，此空處應填“奏效，起作用”，英語中表達這一含義最地道的詞就是work。

23.outout解析：handout意為“分發，施舍”，為固定短語。

24.whatwhat解析：顯然，此空后的句子應為“obscure”的賓語從句，而“isbeingwritten”中缺主語，可做主句的賓語、從句的主語的只有what。

25.therebythereby解析：本句句意為“我們也正在污染海洋，殺死了魚類，…剝奪了我們那無價的食物供應。”顯然，此空前后為因果關系，而且depriving前不能用so或其他表因果關系的連詞，而只能用介詞thereby。

26.B解析：第一段中，作者說自己想保存文件，但是光標不動了，死機了。只有把電池拔出強行關機，所以排除A，D。C中說電腦拒絕工作，不合題意。所以本題應選B。

27.B解析：文章第二段一開頭就說：“It'snotentirelyclearwhymedicinehasbeensoslowtobuildonAnderson’searlysuccess．”從時間上來看，Anderson采用基因療法的成功嘗試已經是1990年的事情了，兩相對照，可見他的成功沒有讓醫學加速發展。因此正確答案為B。

28.D解析：原文對應信息是：“Eagertoboosttheirmagazinerankings，whicharebasedinpartonthetestscoresofenteringfreshmen．they’rethrowingmoreaidatsmarterkids——whethertheyneeditornot．”該句話說明“學校為了提高其雜志排名，就給那些比較聰明的孩子經濟上給予較大的幫助，不管他們需不需要幫助”。由此可以看出，急需幫助的學生并不一定就能獲得幫助。所以A、B、C均不符合題意。所以本題應選D。

29.C解析：由第二段中的“Second，theyhavetoadoptacomputersystemcalled…”可知。

30.D解析：選項A意思不準確，文中提到公立大學和私立大學的學費問題，但并沒有表明家長的態度和傾向；選項B意思不對，文中對應信息是第二段；申請貸款并不是無條件的，這是選項C的錯誤所在。綜觀全文，可以看出傳統意義上的獎學金還是很有吸引力的。所以本題應選D。

31.D解析：在第三段中女主人公意識到也許在四點的服務的原因是經過精心策劃的而不是隨意粗魯的習慣，假期小費從隨意的一句謝謝發展成為黑社會的保護勒索，所以作者是被迫的給假期小費的。因此正確答案為D。

32.C解析：選項A即心理學家已經放棄，而生物學家正在展開研究工作。而文中第三句話說“Psychologistsviewthesubjecteitherasamatteroffrustrationorajoke．”即心理學家認為這個研究不是一件沮喪的事，就是一個笑話，此句和選項A含義不一樣。選項B即大腦區別顯示出一個性別優于另外一個性別。而文中第一段最后一句話說“Butbeingdifferent，theypointouthurriedly，isnotthesameasbeingbetterorworse．”即他們指出盡管有區別，但并不能說明誰優誰劣，此句和選項B含義不一樣。選項D兩性大腦結構的區別早已為人所知。而文中第三段第三句話說“Thisisthefirsttimethatastructuraldifferencehasbeenfoundbetweenthebrainsofwomenandmen…”即這是第一次人們發現了兩性大腦結
