16.farfar解析：可用于修飾“toolittle”的只能是far，意為“太少，特別少”。

17.ofof解析：beofthesame…意為“是一樣…”，此句意為“…在正確的指導(dǎo)下，他們能繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)，繼續(xù)通過(guò)干許多一樣復(fù)雜的工作而獲得多樣性?！?/p>

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

19.AsAs解析：此句意為“…后一種觀點(diǎn)的例子，…”顯然，空處應(yīng)填“作為”。

20.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(wú)疑是一種誘惑。這里需要用名詞形式。故答案為display。

21.ofof解析：“對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)的了解”的英文表達(dá)是“theunderstandingofreality”，這里的介詞用of。故答案為of。

22.asas解析：此處為因果關(guān)系，意為“因?yàn)樵S多人沒有…”，因此此處應(yīng)填填連詞“as”。

23.WhenWhen解析：這里的一句話其實(shí)與下一半句“whenwearedown-to-earth，…”所起到的作用是一樣的，同時(shí)兩者也是并列的，when表達(dá)了“當(dāng)…”，所以這里填when。故答案為when。

24.customercustomer解析：從這個(gè)句子的賓語(yǔ)“…thatheorshehasdoneagoodjobofchoosingtheitems.”可以看出，這里說(shuō)的是顧客的行為，他們認(rèn)為自己買這些商品是很理性的。故答案為customer。

25.inin解析：inturn意為“轉(zhuǎn)而，反過(guò)來(lái)”，此句意為“給他們講明這些小成功成為建立聲譽(yù)的基礎(chǔ)，而且從這些小成功開始更重要的任務(wù)才能被完成?！?。

26.B解析：根據(jù)第三段和第四段的論述，我們可以得知作者的總體看法，即特別的勞工防護(hù)法并沒有保護(hù)婦女的權(quán)益，故B項(xiàng)正確。A項(xiàng)與作者的觀點(diǎn)明顯相悖，所以不正確。C項(xiàng)從文中不能推知，故不正確。文中沒有提到男性工人的保護(hù)問題，故D項(xiàng)也不正確。

27.D解析：由D中的第一段“itreallyisnotmuchofasurprisethatitisnowconsideredbymanyoneofthetopfivemoviesofalltime．”可知。

28.A解析：書評(píng)一中提到Stiglitz更主張政府參與下的經(jīng)濟(jì)政策，而不是以市場(chǎng)為主導(dǎo)的政策。所以本題應(yīng)選A。

29.B解析：由短文第三段第一句“Incometaxesarethemainsourceoffederalrevenues．”。

30.DD解析：由上下兩段綜合分析，只有D放在此處符合邏輯。

31.A解析：由第三段中所舉的GTE的例子可知“efficienttechnologyiscost-effective”。

32.C解析：由C中的howitworks中的第二條“Thismeansyoudon'tneedtousesomuchgasorelectricitytoheatyourwaterathome．”可知答案為C。

33.EE解析：第一段引出了人們對(duì)未來(lái)的擔(dān)心，認(rèn)為老齡化將會(huì)帶來(lái)各種問題。第三段是對(duì)老齡化社會(huì)的肯定，認(rèn)為這是文明發(fā)展的成果?！癿yth”一詞含有杜撰的意思。一些人的擔(dān)心是多余的。E起到承上啟下的作用。

34.B解析：書評(píng)二中提到許多經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家，甚至布什政府的官員都贊成Sfiglitz的論點(diǎn)，認(rèn)為“economicchangeinthedevelopingworldmustevolvemorewithl
