10.B

11.A

12.B

13.B

14.C

15.A

16.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。

17.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”。

18.atat解析：某大学的教授，应为“aprofessorat…university”，所以答案为介词“at”。

19.thosethose解析：文章中提到“16-19岁之间的日本青年跟25-29岁之间的青年对比”，这里缺少代词，替代“Japaneseyouth”。所以此处应填“those”

20.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。

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

22.fastfast解析：由上一句句意“不耐心代表了年轻的脑力工作者们的特点。”可知，本句“他们想…成名”中的空处应填“快速地”。

23.andand解析：“both…and…”为固定搭配，“两者都”。所以此处应填“and”。

24.happinesshappiness解析：根据上下文，日本年轻人更看重追求个人的幸福。所以此处应填“happiness”。

25.butbut解析：这里表达的前后句意是一种转折关系。前面说“hemayhavedreams，”而后面“hedoesnotallowthemtoblockhisknowledge…”的意思却是“但是他也不会让这些梦想阻挡自己对什么是现实的理解。”故答案为but。

26.C解析：由C中第三段第一句“Regularhighstandardperformancesinmusicanddrama，publicspeakinganddebatingareimportantpreparationforadultlife．”可知，该学校很重视培养学生的语言天赋。

27.C解析：由第二段中的“Second，theyhavetoadoptacomputersystemcalled…”可知。

28.A解析：第二段中指出“…whenbrainandbodyareactive”，大脑积极运转是眼珠快速转动的主要特征，且在第三、四段又再次说明。选项B“被研究者很快的反应速度”，选项C“复杂的记忆模式”和选项D“前一天事件的重现”都不是眼球快速运动的主要特征。故应选A。

29.D解析：由短文最后一段中的“Butnewmaterialshavenoim
