16.therebythereby解析：本句句意为“我们也正在污染海洋，杀死了鱼类，…剥夺了我们那无价的食物供应。”显然，此空前后为因果关系，而且depriving前不能用so或其他表因果关系的连词，而只能用介词thereby。

17.waswas解析：此空显然应是句子的谓语成分，应填动词的过去式。

18.awareaware解析：beawareof，固定搭配，意为“意识到”。所以此处应填“aware”。

19.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”。

20.useuse解析：后面的一句话“Theexpressionis‘both-feet-on-the-ground.”表示down-to-earth的另一种表达方法是both-feet-on-the-ground。而后一种说法是美国人的用法，常常被美国人使用。故答案为use。

21.whowho解析：此空后的句子显然为定语从句，修饰“Behaviorists”，所以应填一个who，引导修饰人的定语从句。

22.likelylikely解析：前面所说的thepersonwhoisdown-to-earth与thepersonwhosebothfeetontheground大体是一类人，所以这里表达的意思是“很有可能就是一类人”。belikelytodo就表达了这种意思。故答案为likely。

23.asas解析：such…as意为“这样的…如”。此空后为并列的三个分词短语，即“如”后跟的例举事项。

24.andand解析：这三个分词短语是并列的，故中间的连词只能用and。

25.thatthat解析：此空后的内容为maintain的内容，即此空后的句子为maintain的宾语，应填一个可引导宾语从句的词。

26.A解析：由第四段最后两句话可知，基因并不能决定一切，因此减肥不会因为肥胖基因的干扰而没有任何作用，故A项正确。B项和作者的观点是相反的。D项文中未提到。

27.B解析：有关商业方面的报道都是对Stiglitz的论点的支持信息。“…especiallywhenthebusinesspageisfullofstoriesaboutwhite——collarcrimeandthestockmarketseemsstuckinaperpetualrut．．．”所以本题应选B。

28.D解析：由D中的第二段最后一句话“Morethan90percentoftheUniversity'sfull-timefacultymembersholdaPh．D.orterminaldegreeintheirfield”可知。

29.D解析：这是一个通篇的中心归纳的考察题。文章一开始就指出“Beforeabigexam,asoundnight’ssleepwilldoyoubetterthanporingovertextbooks.”意思是在晚上好好的睡觉对记忆是有好处的。最后作者有归纳了研究的结果，“…concludedthatthenerveconnectionsinvolvedinmemoryarereinforcedthroughreactivationduringREMsl

30.A解析：从第二段前两句话可以看出，妇女被以能力和需要的理由劝离工厂，故A项正确。没有足够的工作给老兵不是由限制妇女工作时间的法律造成的，所以B项不正确。C项文中没有提及。根据文章第三段可知妇女的健康不是改善了，而是下降了，故D项也不正确。

31.C解析：由第三段中的“Forthosecompaniesusingtechnology，theperdocumentcostofinformationprocessingisonlyafractionofwhatitwasafewyearsag
