16.productionproduction解析：從前一句話(huà)“Themanufacturersgobeyondonlytellingconsumersabouttheirproducts.”可以看出，一方面廣告要介紹自己的產(chǎn)品，而第二個(gè)目的就是賣(mài)掉自己的產(chǎn)品。所以這里作者想要表達(dá)的意思是“廣告要使得顧客有一種購(gòu)買(mǎi)的欲望去購(gòu)買(mǎi)自己的產(chǎn)品?！惫蚀鸢笧閜roduction。

17.sellingselling解析：關(guān)鍵是看and后面的buying。本句話(huà)的意思是“商家分析市場(chǎng)的供需情況?！惫蚀鸢笧閟elling。

18.someonesomeone解析：由本文的第一句話(huà)“‘Down-to-earth’meanssomeoneorsomethingthatishonest，realisticandeasytodealwith.”可知“Down-to-earth”指的是誠(chéng)實(shí)，現(xiàn)實(shí)、平易近人的那些人。這里的someone和后面是相對(duì)應(yīng)的。故答案為someone。

19.werewere解析：考查被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)的用法，注意分析句子成分。所以此處應(yīng)填“were”。

20.itit解析：本句意為“‘污染’意思是弄臟——表層土或什么東西，通過(guò)引進(jìn)雜質(zhì)，這使…不健康或不干凈?！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)指topsoilorsomething，因?yàn)榍懊嬉殉霈F(xiàn)，所以用it來(lái)代替。

21.dividedivide解析：根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)境，這里是“分為”，divide…upinto意為“把…劃分為”。所以此處應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞“divide”。

22.butbut解析：此句意為“30歲的人表現(xiàn)出非常不同的握筆方式，…超過(guò)40歲的人都統(tǒng)一用三個(gè)手指握筆。”顯然，此空處表轉(zhuǎn)折。

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

24.rationalrational解析：從文章的后面可以知道，顧客們已經(jīng)要結(jié)算了，認(rèn)為都買(mǎi)了該買(mǎi)的商品。但是售貨員在他們等著付賬的過(guò)程中巧妙的利用顧客們的購(gòu)物沖動(dòng)向他們推銷(xiāo)，而不是理性購(gòu)物。故答案為rational。

25.thoughthough解析：本句話(huà)的意思是“盡管知道顧客們可能不知道自己為什么買(mǎi)了這些商品，但是賣(mài)家卻知道怎么去做。”故答案為though。

26.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。

27.C解析：文章開(kāi)始就提出“WhatnewvaluesshouldAmericansadopt?”指出美國(guó)人應(yīng)該具有什么樣的價(jià)值觀念。接著作者列出了自己的觀點(diǎn)，所以整個(gè)文章是圍繞著“價(jià)值觀念”的論點(diǎn)展開(kāi)。故應(yīng)選C。

28.B解析：文章第二段一開(kāi)頭就說(shuō)：“It'snotentirelyclearwhymedicinehasbeensoslowtobuildonAnderson'searlysuccess．”從時(shí)間上來(lái)看，Anderson采用基因療法的成功嘗試已經(jīng)是1990年的事情了，兩相對(duì)照，可見(jiàn)他的成功沒(méi)有讓醫(yī)學(xué)加速發(fā)展。因此正確答案為B。

29.A解析：由A中的第一句話(huà)“‘Bewitched’isapainfullyembarrassingremakeoftheclassicTVsitcomthatranonABCfrom1964—1972．”可知。

30.C解析：由短文倒數(shù)第二段可知美國(guó)只有四個(gè)州沒(méi)
