16.whosewhose解析：这是一个后置定语从句，用whose来引导，表示mind与dreamer的所属关系。故答案为whose。

17.ofof解析：beofthesame…意为“是一样…”，此句意为“…在正确的指导下，他们能继续学习，继续通过干许多一样复杂的工作而获得多样性。”

18.importantimportant解析：从本句后面的一句话可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson就算是重要的人物，他们也不会把这种显赫写在脸上。所以前面应填important。故答案为important。

19.somesome解析：这里需要填写的是商品的名称，就是说摆在出口结算处的那些小商品。泛指时用some。故答案为some。

20.thoughthough解析：本句话的意思是“尽管知道顾客们可能不知道自己为什么买了这些商品，但是卖家却知道怎么去做。”故答案为though。

21.thethe解析：此处缺冠词，在年轻人之间，用the表示特指。所以此处应填“the”。

22.dividedivide解析：根据上下文语境，这里是“分为”，divide…upinto意为“把…划分为”。所以此处应填动词“divide”。

23.unlikeunlike解析：根据下文，以日本学生与美国和韩国的作对比，日本的学生不像韩国和美国的学生一样。所以此处应填“unlike”。

24.wherewhere解析：此题考查where引导的定语从句，修饰前面提到的plane，trainorbus。所以此处应填关系副词“where”。

25.firstfirst解析：根据题意，作者想在这里做一个比较，而比较的对象是目的。这里作者仅仅给出了两个目的，所以这里是和第一个目的进行比较。故答案为first。

26.D解析：由D中的advantage内容最后一条“Agoodmethodofsupplyingenergytoremoteareas.”可知答案为D。

27.C解析：由C中的第一段最后一句话“Thissourcebook…andprovidespolicyadvice，includingtheuseofcleantechnologiesandenvironmentallysoundproductiontechniques，…”可知。

28.B解析：由B中的第三段第二句话“NewYorkhasbecomeoneoftheworld’sbusiestportsandalsothefinancial，manufacturing，andtravelcenterofthe
