16.purposepurpose解析：從文中的第一句話“Themostobviouspurpose…”可以看出后面還有別的目的，而不是僅僅有最明顯的目的。故答案為purpose。

17.surveysurvey解析：根據(jù)后面的數(shù)據(jù)，空缺處指的是1993年的一項調(diào)查問卷，所以此處應填“survey”。

18.disposedispose解析：由前一句“但是這個問題因為我們的“一次性”技術而加劇了?！笨芍?，此處應為“丟掉，扔掉”之意，即disposeof。

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

20.dailydaily解析：此句意為“但是不要使他們的…工作僅僅成為一長串令人心煩的差使?！憋@然，此空應填“每日的，日常的”。

21.bringbring解析：根據(jù)上下文，此處意思為給他們帶來快樂。帶來用動詞“bring”。所以此處應填“bring”。

22.withwith解析：endupwith意為“以…結束，以…告終”，為固定短語。

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

24.toto解析：revertto意為“重想，重提”，此句意為“如果你經(jīng)常提到‘我們以前已經(jīng)試著這樣做了，但是不管用’就會很快地挫傷這種好問的頭腦”。

25.dailydaily解析：此句意為“但是不要使他們的…工作僅僅成為一長串令人心煩的差使。”顯然，此空應填“每日的，日常的”。

26.A解析：由A中的第一段“Thepopulationofthecityisabout800,000anditcoversanareaofover69squaremiles．”可知答案為A。

27.C解析：由C中的第一段最后一句話“…occupyingabuildingspaceof90thousandsquaremeters”可知。

28.AA解析：由此空上下文可以看出，A填入使上下兩段意思銜接。

29.C解析：越來越多的人贊成Stiglitz的觀點，批評自由貿(mào)易和全球化，從“Suchclaimsarenolongereredible，forStiglitzispartofasmallbutgrowinggroupofeconomists，sociologistsandpoliticalscientists…”gr
