16.suchsuch解析：“poorposture，leaningtoo…tothedesk，using…”均是對(duì)characteristics的舉例說(shuō)明，而舉例用英語(yǔ)說(shuō)應(yīng)為“suchas”。

17.oftenoften解析：本句話的意思是“那些自我感覺很了不起、內(nèi)心充滿驕傲的人，總是不需要理由的就被人認(rèn)為是趾高氣揚(yáng)的人?！惫蔬@里答案為often。

18.especiallyespecially解析：“Around1980many．Japanese，______youngpeople…”，“1980年左右許多日本人，尤其是年輕人…”，所以此處應(yīng)填“especially”。

19.byby解析：此空所在短句意為“報(bào)酬經(jīng)常毀掉創(chuàng)造性，…鼓勵(lì)依賴他人的認(rèn)可和禮物?！憋@然，空處應(yīng)填“通過(guò)”，在英語(yǔ)中介詞by即可表達(dá)此意。

20.proportionproportion解析：此處意為很大比例的學(xué)生仍然喜歡簡(jiǎn)單的工作，所以此處應(yīng)填“proportion”。

21.themthem解析：本題考查代詞的用法，根據(jù)上下文，此處句意為“人們使用這些小玩意兒?！鄙衔囊呀?jīng)提到gadgets，所以這里用代詞“them”代替。

22.drinkingdrinking解析：由本句句意“通過(guò)將污水和化學(xué)物質(zhì)倒入河流和湖泊，我們已經(jīng)污染了我們的…水?！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)為“飲用”。

23.happinesshappiness解析：根據(jù)上下文，日本年輕人更看重追求個(gè)人的幸福。所以此處應(yīng)填“happiness”。

24.muchmuch解析：參見43題解析。顯然，此空處應(yīng)為“太多的”。

25.concernconcern解析：“concernfor”表示“對(duì)…關(guān)心”。所以此處應(yīng)填“concern”。

26.D解析：選項(xiàng)A意思不準(zhǔn)確，文中提到公立大學(xué)和私立大學(xué)的學(xué)費(fèi)問(wèn)題，但并沒(méi)有表明家長(zhǎng)的態(tài)度和傾向；選項(xiàng)B意思不對(duì)，文中對(duì)應(yīng)信息是第二段；申請(qǐng)貸款并不是無(wú)條件的，這是選項(xiàng)C的錯(cuò)誤所在。綜觀全文，可以看出傳統(tǒng)意義上的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金還是很有吸引力的。所以本題應(yīng)選D。

27.A解析：在第三段最后一句“…oneculture—basedproducthasbeenclearedformarketinginEurope．”里出現(xiàn)了“cleared”一詞。根據(jù)下文中“marketing”和讀者有關(guān)藥品上市前應(yīng)該得到批準(zhǔn)的常識(shí)，可以判斷出，該詞在本句中的意思是“得到官方的批準(zhǔn)”。因此正確答案為A。

28.B解析：同樣，由短文第一段最后一句可知作者提到基因工程和計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)就是為了表明新材料對(duì)未來(lái)世界的重要性。

29.FF解析：從后面的first，second等字眼可以看出答案為F，因?yàn)檫x項(xiàng)中的“This,ofcourse,willintroducetwovitalsetsofproblem-isalreadyintroducingthem.”相對(duì)應(yīng)。故應(yīng)選F。

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

31.D解析：由本文第二段可知A、B、C均正確，只有D不對(duì)。

32.D解析：A、B、C項(xiàng)文中均沒(méi)有提到。根據(jù)第三段的論述，可知D項(xiàng)是惟一正確的。

33.C解析：瓦薩利在文中第一段說(shuō)到“VasariexpressedalluneasewithBotticelli’swork，…”說(shuō)明他的態(tài)度是反對(duì)的，后來(lái)在最后一段中間部分“However，HomearguedthatBotticelli…emphasizedcleardepletionof
