16.worseworse解析：“the+比較級，the+比較級”，意為“越…越…，”根據(jù)上下文，本句句意為“身邊的小玩意兒越多，事情似乎就會變得越糟糕?！彼源颂帒?yīng)填“worse”。

17.waswas解析：此空顯然應(yīng)是句子的謂語成分，應(yīng)填動詞的過去式。

18.whatwhat解析：顯然，此空后的句子應(yīng)為"obscure”的賓語從句，而“isbeingwritten”中缺主語，可做主句的賓語、從句的主語的只有what。

19.betweenbetween解析：“…relation…actionsandtheirconsequences”意為“…行動和它們的結(jié)果…關(guān)系”，空處顯然缺“之間”。

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

21.olderolder解析：grow只能是年齡越來越大。

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

23.unlikeunlike解析：根據(jù)下文，以日本學(xué)生與美國和韓國的作對比，日本的學(xué)生不像韓國和美國的學(xué)生一樣。所以此處應(yīng)填“unlike”。

24.importantimportant解析：從本句后面的一句話可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson就算是重要的人物，他們也不會把這種顯赫寫在臉上。所以前面應(yīng)填important。故答案為important.

25.gogo解析：gotoone’sheads的意思是“展現(xiàn)、表現(xiàn)”，俗語。用在文中表示“把…寫在臉上”，生怕別人不知道的顯擺。故答案為go。

26.B解析：由文章倒數(shù)第二段第一句“TheelectriccatfishoftheNileandofotherAfricanfreshwatershasadifferentsystemagainbywhichcurrentpassesoverthewholebodyfromthetalltothehead．”可知。

27.D解析：由D中的第一句“JokhangTempleisthespiritualcenterofTibet．”可知。

28.A解析：由短文第一段最后一句“…managersandprofessionalsspendmorethanhalfoftheirtimeincommunicatingwitheachother．”可知，作者引用Straussmann的話主要是為了表明交流能力的重要性。

29.D解析：這是一個通篇的中心歸納的考察題。文章一開始就指出“Beforeabigexam，asoundnight’ssleepwilldoyoubetterthanpongovertextbooks．”意思是在晚上好好的睡覺對記憶是有好處的。最后作者有歸納了研究的結(jié)果，“…concludedthatthenerveconnectionsinvolvedinmemoryarereinforcedthroughreactivationduringREMsleep…．”也說明結(jié)構(gòu)性知識在REM睡眠中是可以鞏固的。故應(yīng)選D。

30.C解析：由C中的第一段“Themonastery—likepalace…wa
