16.withwith解析：endupwith意为“以…结束，以…告终”，为固定短语。

17.surveysurvey解析：根据后面的数据，空缺处指的是1993年的一项调查问卷，所以此处应填“survey”。

18.readyready解析：顾客来到结算处，说明他们准备好了要付账。bereadyto的意思是“准备好了做某事”。故答案为ready。

19.withwith解析：根据对等关系，这里应该与后面的部分“apersonwithagoodunderstanding”相对应。意思是“那些脚踏实地的人往往是那些很了解现实的人。”故答案为with。

20.AsAs解析：此句意为“…后一种观点的例子，…”显然，空处应填“作为”。

21.rationalrational解析：从文章的后面可以知道，顾客们已经要结算了，认为都买了该买的商品。但是售货员在他们等着付账的过程中巧妙的利用顾客们的购物冲动向他们推销，而不是理性购物。故答案为rational。

22.FortunatelyFortunately解析：由本句句意“…可以看到有解决办法的希望了。”可知，此空应填“幸运的是”。

23.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。

24.ratherrather解析：此空所在句意为“用四个手指握笔而不是三个。”ratherthan表示“而不是”。

25.diddid解析：据38题解析，由于while意为“尽管”，才有后面起强调作用的did，意为“确实”，言下之意有转折之意。

26.FF解析：此空填入F，上下文衔接，意思连贯。

27.C解析：由C中的第一段第一句话“Chicago，thesecondlargestcityinpopulationintheUnitedStates，”可知答案为C。

28.D解析：在第三段中女主人公意识到也许在四点的服务的原因是经过精心策划的而不是随意粗鲁的习惯，假期小费从随意的一句谢谢发展成为黑社会的保护勒索，所以作者是被迫的给假期小费的。因此正确答案为D。

29.A解析：本文谈到青少年自杀问题，自杀显然不会是C、D，故排除。cool也并不是这些孩子自杀的目的，只有A合适。

30.B解析：由第四段中的“Thehorsesarelessaffectedthanamanwouldbe，andwhentheelectriceelshaveexhaustedthemselves，theycanbecaughtwithoutdanger．”可知。

31.A解析：划线单词所在句子句意为“事情的另一面是：保险公司已经开发了一些很有创造性的，能与其他替代产品，诸如投资竞争的产品。它们能够满足任何一种全面投资计划的需求。”可见“它们”即指“creativeandcompetitiveinsuranceproducts”。

32.D解析：“bitingone'snails”的意思是“一筹莫展”，通过后面的表述，“mostofherclientsspend$12to$50weekly，…”可以看出Spero并不是到了没有顾客的地步，只是越来越少，所以他并没有到达绝望的处境。故应选D。

33.C解析：由文章中作者描述联合国世界领导人会议的口气看，他对待该会议的态度应是critical的。

34.C解析：由第三段最后一句“Lifeinsuranceisan…isnotsubjecttotaxes．incontrasttootherpersonalinvestments．”可知。

35.B解析：第一段中，作者说自己想保存文件，但是光标不动了，死机了。只有把电池拔出强行关机，所以排除A，D。C中说电脑拒绝工作，不合题意。所以本题应选B。

36.C解析：由第一段可知NAAFA认为肥胖无害，故A项是错误的。B项文章中未提到。第一段倒数第二句话说到基因决定人的胖瘦，故C项是正确的。NAAFA只是认肥胖对人体无害，并没有说有好处，故D项是错误的。

37.C解析：文中第一段提到“Butsuchbehavioralstudiescannotdistinguishbetweentwocompetingtheoriesofwhysleepisgoodforthememory．”所以他们对为什么睡眠对记忆有好处持有不同的观点，故应选C。

38.C解析：这个题考察的是对后面几段的归纳。首先在第三段开始“Dr.MaquetusedanelectronicdevicecalledPET…theypracticedataskduringtheday,andastheysleptduringthefollowingnight.”这是一种对比性的研究方法。后来的第四段最后“…theirresponsetimeswhentheywokeupwereevenquickerthanwhentheywe

39.A解析：由短文第二段中的“Ceramics，forinstance，havelongbeenlimitedbytheirbrittleness．”。

40.D解析：由第二段最后—句“InNewYork，Comstat'sstatisticalmapsareanalyzedeachweekatameetingofthecity'spolicechiefandprecinctcaptains．”可知。

41.A由A中advantage第一句话“Hydro—electricpowerstationscanincreasetofullpowerveryquickly，unlikeotherpowerstations．”可知答案为A。

42.C文中提到“Onhis30-minutecommute，．．．dreamupnewwaysof…”。

43.D由D的第一段最后一句话“Itallowsgamerstochallengeotherplayersinteam—basedmultiplayergamesonXboxLiveandSystemLink”可知。

44.B由B内容中的itisrenewable中“NuclearenergyfromUraniumisnotrenewable．”可知答案为B。
