16.byby解析：由日本政府收集的数据。考查被动语态的用法，“由…”用介词“by”。所以此处应填“by”。

17.bringbring解析：通过前一句话“suchadreamercanbebroughtbacktoearth．”中的brought可以知道，这里应该填bring，表示“把…带到”。故答案为bring。

18.complycomply解析：此处句意为“他们会很懊恼的服从”，表示服从，遵从的短语是complywith。所以此处应填“comply”。

19.dodo解析：解析见上题，为了避免与前面的know重复，这里可以换做do。故答案为do。

20.fromfrom解析：keepsth．fromdoingsth．意为“防止某事…”，为固定短语。

21.asas解析：此处为因果关系，意为“因为许多人没有…”，因此此处应填填连词“as”。

22.onon解析：此题也考查介词的用法，在电话中交谈，一般用onthephone。所以此处应填介词“on”。

23.whichwhich解析：此空后的句子应为定语从句，修饰“tokeneconomies”，故此空应填一个可引导定语从句的词，而且前面可加介词in。

24.toto解析：“shift”意为“转变”，“从…到…的转变”应该用介词“to”。所以此处应填“to”。

25.youngyoung解析：本文均是在讲年轻的脑力工作者，故此空所应填的用于修饰“collegegraduates”的词也应是“年轻的”。

26.AA解析：只有A放在此处才能与上一段意思连贯。

27.FF解析：第一个“myth”认为随着人口老龄化的增长，西方国家的医疗体系会瘫痪。研究中的一位人口统计学家指出问题的关键是要建成灵活自由的医疗服务结构。

28.A解析：由A中的第一段最后一句话“Atpresent，thePalaceisanelaboratemuseumthatpresentsthelargestandmostcompleteensembleoftraditionalarchitecture…”可知。

29.A解析：由整篇文章可知，本文主要传达的信息为“食盐致病理论没有道理”。

30.D解析：根据这篇文章，普遍认为大脑的区别由什么因素引起的?短文第三段倒数第二句话说“Wetendtothinkthatistheinfluenceofsocietythatproducesthesedifferences．”即我们认为社会的影响造成了这些区别。A、B、C均不符合题意。所以本题应选D。

31.C解析：由文章第二段可知C不对，而A、B、D文中均提到了。

32.A解析：由第二段最后一句话可知A项正确。B项不能从文中推知。C项文中没有提及。男性工人的健康在法律中是得到考虑了的，故D项不正确。

33.BB解析：由下一段第一句中提到的“tomato”可知只有B中“Supporterssaythetomato”与之对应。

34.A解析：由A中的第二段第二句话“Oneithersideofthepalacearemanycomparativelysmallbuildings.”可知。
