16.drinkingdrinking解析：由本句句意“通過將污水和化學物質倒入河流和湖泊，我們已經污染了我們的…水。”顯然，此空處應為“飲用”。

17.withwith解析：根據對等關系，這里應該與后面的部分“apersonwithagoodunderstanding”相對應。意思是“那些腳踏實地的人往往是那些很了解現實的人。”故答案為with。

18.whatwhat解析：解析同上。這里是一個名詞性從句，what在句中做主語。故答案為what。

19.threatenthreaten解析：由33題解析可以知道此空一定為“威脅”之意。

20.towardtoward解析：作者要表達的意思是“我怎么才能對別人誠實。”英語中表達“對某人…”一般是用介詞toward。故答案為toward。

21.withoutwithout解析：此處意為年輕人更喜歡沒有重大責任的簡單工作。所以此處應填“without”。

22.muchmuch解析：參見43題解析。顯然，此空處應為“太多的”。

23.youngyoung解析：本文均是在講年輕的腦力工作者，故此空所應填的用于修飾“collegegraduates”的詞也應是“年輕的”。

24.reusereuse解析：由后一句“今天幾乎每件東西都可以被扔掉。”可知，“…任何東西不再明智了。”中的空處應為“再利用”，這樣前后兩句邏輯上才能合理。

25.waswas解析：此空顯然應是句子的謂語成分，應填動詞的過去式。

26.B解析：由短文第一段中的“Andaccordingtolegend，therewasaTurkishrulerwho…ToPayforthewearandtearonhisteeth”。

27.C解析：由C中倒數第二段中的“GNVQinbusinessstudiesandhealthandsocialcareprovidesanalternativevocationalpathwayto…”可知。

28.A解析：由全文看，作者支持的一種觀點是“為所有人創造工作機會是不可能的”。

29.B解析：由第四段中的“Thehorsesarelessaffectedthanamanwouldbe，andwhentheelectriceelshaveexhaustedthemselves，theycallbecaughtwithoutdanger．”可知。

30.CC解析：接下來講的是人體的免疫系統與毒藤之間的關系。毒藤會使人產生什么樣的反應，該空緊接的就是毒藤過敏反應時如何產生的。“Here’showthepoisonivyresponseoccurs．”一句承上啟下。所以本題應選C。

31.A解析：由短文最后一段中的“Andthattransitioncouldprovedifficult，forswitchingrequireslengthyresearchandinvestment．”。

32.B解析：第三段中Dr．Laragh提到“…所以建議所有人應該少吃鹽沒有意義。”可以推知，他的言下之意是“醫生不應建議人們不吃鹽”。

33.C解析：文章第三段指出“ItisfarmoredifficultforAmericanstoacceptsharedsacrificeforthecommongoodandwell-beingoftheentirecountry．”，接著作者給出一個例子，證明美國人不會為了國家的利益而放棄個人的利益。故應選C。

34.A解析：第六段中男主人看到清理垃圾的車，誤以為是Mickey來了，正要出去澄清誤會，把上次的小費補上，卻遭到了回收員的蔑視，所以他感到澄清誤會的機會是很渺茫了，對于假期小費的事情他已經絕望了。因此正確答案為A。

35.C解析：由全文的語氣來看，均是在解釋、闡述事情，而不是descriptive或narrative，更不是critic。

36.C解析：由C中的第一段第一句話“Chicago，thesecondlargestcityinpopulationintheUnitedStates，”可知答案為C。

37.A解析：由A中的第一段“Washington，thecapitaloftheUnitedStates，isinWashingtonD．C．”可知答案為A。

38.C解析：C中提到“Theschoolcatersforgirlsofaverageabilityandabovebutitisnotnarrowlyacademic．”。

39.A解析：由A中的第一段最后一句話“Atpresent,thePalaceisanelaboratemuseumthatpresentsthelargestandmostcompleteensembleoftraditionalarchitecture…”可知。

40.C解析：由全文可以推斷，要指出犯罪率下降的確切原因是很困難的。
