16.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)為都買了該買的商品。但是售貨員在他們等著付賬的過程中巧妙的利用顧客們的購物沖動向他們推銷，而不是理性購物。故答案為rational。

17.asas解析：such…as意為“這樣的…如”。此空后為并列的三個分詞短語，即“如”后跟的例舉事項。

18.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”。

19.wherewhere解析：此題考查where引導(dǎo)的定語從句，修飾前面提到的plane，trainorbus。所以此處應(yīng)填關(guān)系副詞“where”。

20.werewere解析：考查被動語態(tài)的用法，注意分析句子成分。所以此處應(yīng)填“were”。

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(yīng)填“bring”。

22.underunder解析：underguidance意為“在…指導(dǎo)下”，為固定短語。

23.creativitycreativity解析：本文是在講述報酬、表揚與創(chuàng)造性的關(guān)系，此句意為“但是小心地使用小量的金錢報酬能激起分級學(xué)校孩子們的…”顯然，空處應(yīng)填“創(chuàng)造性”。

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

25.byby解析：此空所在短句意為“報酬經(jīng)常毀掉創(chuàng)造性，…鼓勵依賴他人的認(rèn)可和禮物。”顯然，空處應(yīng)填“通過”，在英語中介詞by即可表達(dá)此意。

26.AA解析：第二個“myth”是擔(dān)心人口老齡化會使工作人員越來越少。研究中心人員提出應(yīng)該給年長的人提供各種培訓(xùn)機會。A中“Ourstudiesshowthattherearebenefitsfromhavinganage-integratedworkforce．”說“研究表明不同年齡段的勞動力的融合也會有許多好處”。

27.A解析：由A中最后一句“TheCollegehasanationalreputationforthequalityofitsdyslexiaprovision．”可知。

28.A解析：由A中的第一句話“‘Bewitched’isapainfullyembarrassingremakeoftheclassicTVsitcomthatranonABCfrom1964-1972．”可知。

29.B解析：由B中的第一段“Globalenvironmentalproblemsariseoutoftheaccumulatedimpactsfrommanyyears’andmanycountries’economicdevelopment．”可知。

30.DD解析：由上一段中的“Edwina…andcalledhimontheintercorn．”可知D中的“…closertotheintercom…”與之呼應(yīng)。

31.FF解析：第一個“myth”認(rèn)為隨著人口老齡化的增長，西方國家的醫(yī)療體系會癱瘓。研究中的一位人口統(tǒng)計學(xué)家指出問題的關(guān)鍵是要建成靈活自由的醫(yī)療服務(wù)結(jié)構(gòu)。

32.C解析：選項A即心理學(xué)家已經(jīng)放棄，而生物學(xué)家正在展開研究工作。而文中第三句話說“Psychologistsviewthesubjecteitherasamatteroffrustrationorajoke．”即心理學(xué)家認(rèn)為這個研究不是一件沮喪的事，就是一個笑話，此句和選項A含義不一樣。選項B即大腦區(qū)別顯示出一個性別優(yōu)于另
