16.lookinglooking解析：與介詞for的固定搭配，意為“尋求…”，這里指的是尋求新的價(jià)值觀。所以此處應(yīng)填“l(fā)ooking”。

17.byby解析：由日本政府收集的數(shù)據(jù)。考查被動(dòng)語態(tài)的用法，“由…”用介詞“by”。所以此處應(yīng)填“by”。

18.thethe解析：此處缺冠詞，在年輕人之間，用the表示特指。所以此處應(yīng)填“the”。

19.useuse解析：后面的一句話"Theexpressionis‘both-feet-on-the-ground．’”表示down-to-earth的另一種表達(dá)方法是both-feet-on-the-ground。而后一種說法是美國(guó)人的用法，常常被美國(guó)人使用。故答案為use。

20.fromfrom解析：keepsth．fromdoingsth．意為“防止某事…”，為固定短語。

21.displaydisplay解析：這里要回應(yīng)本段第一句話中的“displayed”。在出口結(jié)算處展示的這些小商品無疑是一種誘惑。這里需要用名詞形式。故答案為display。

22.suchsuch解析：“such…as”用來舉例子。所以此處應(yīng)填“such”。

23.bringbring解析：根據(jù)上下文，此處意思為給他們帶來快樂。帶來用動(dòng)詞“bring”。所以此處應(yīng)填“bring”。

24.takestakes解析：要注意時(shí)態(tài)，這里意為“占據(jù)”，所以所以此處應(yīng)填“takes”。

25.offoff解析：turnoff是“關(guān)掉”的意思，此題考查動(dòng)詞短語的用法，根據(jù)上下文語境，這里意思是“關(guān)掉你的手機(jī)”。所以用副詞“off”。

26.C解析：文中第一段提到“Butsuchbehavioralstudiescannotdistinguishbetweentwocompetingtheoriesofwhysleepisgoodforthememory.”所以他們對(duì)為什么睡眠對(duì)記憶有好處持有不同的觀點(diǎn)，故應(yīng)選C。

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

28.D解析：由整篇短文的主旨“低鹽并不適于所有人”可知，此處“eventheveryvocal‘lowsalt’exponent”意為“即使是強(qiáng)力推薦的‘低鹽’”。

29.A解析：pressing意為“緊迫的，急迫的”。

30.A解析：由A中“Theunpopulararchitecturehasledtotheareab
