16.farfar解析：能修饰too的副词只有far或much。

17.whichwhich解析：由37题解析可知此空应为一个引导定语从句的词，即which，其后的定语修饰“several(typesofcontamination)”。

18.SometimeSometime解析：通过对后面句子的分析，我们可以知道那些想入非非、飘飘欲仙的人有朝一日也是可以“双脚落地的”，那就是“sharpwordsfromteacher”，所以这里表示的是“有朝一日”，故答案为sometime。

19.toto解析：“attributeto”意为“把某事归因于”，为固定搭配，所以此处应填“to”。

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

21.whatwhat解析：此题考查what引导的宾语从句。要注意分析句子中的成分，此空为listento后的宾语。所以此处应填引导词“what”。

22.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。

23.fromfrom解析：“来自…的数据”，要用介词“from”。所以此处应填“from”。

24.worseworse解析：“the+比较级，the+比较级”，意为“越…越…，”根据上下文，本句句意为“身边的小玩意儿越多，事情似乎就会变得越糟糕。”所以此处应填“worse”。

25.whosewhose解析：此句意为“StephanieThomas，一位学习辅导老师，…发现已经发表了…。”由此可知，空处所填单词必为whose，引导定语从句，修饰teacher。

26.FF解析：由此空上下文可以看出，选项中只有F放在此处符合逻辑，上下文才能连贯。

27.
