16.onon解析：dependenceon意为“依赖，依靠”，是固定短语。

17.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”。

18.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。

19.drinkingdrinking解析：由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质倒入河流和湖泊，我们已经污染了我们的…水。”显然，此空处应为“饮用”。

20.suchsuch解析：“poorposture，leaningtoo…tothedesk，using…”均是对characteristics的举例说明，而举例用英语说应为“suchas”。

21.ofof解析：“对现实的了解”的英文表达是“theunderstandingofreality”，这里的介词用of。故答案为of。

22.accordingaccording解析：accordingto为“依据”，为固定短语，意为“根据美国的民意调查”。所以此处填according。

23.normalnormal解析：根据上下文可以判断此处句意为“很正常的事情”，因此此处应填“normal”。

24.suchsuch解析：“poorposture，leaningtoo…tothedesk，using…”均是对characteristics的举例说明，而举例用英语说应为“suchas”。

25.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。

26.BB解析：由此空下面一段段意及B中的“…Itseemed，Edwinathought…”可知B与下一段前后呼应。

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：由本文第二段可知A、B、C均正确，只有D不对。

29.C解析：本文均是在讲述青少年的自杀问题。

30.C解析：由短文第一段中的“Smithnoted，‘Betweentheamoutofsodiumapersonconsumesandheartdisease，circulatorydisorders，strokeandevenearlydeath．’”可知。

31.DD解析：由上下两段综合分析，只有D放在此处符合逻辑。

32.A解析：由A中“TheunpopulararchitecturehasledtotheareabeingcalledmeMiltonKeynesofLondonbutpropertiesarespaciousandunfashionablestyle.haskeptpricesdown”可以看出房屋样式古板，但是价位令人比较容易接受。所以此处答案为A。

33.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。
