16.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。

17.inin解析：inturn意为“转而，反过来”，此句意为“给他们讲明这些小成功成为建立声誉的基础，而且从这些小成功开始更重要的任务才能被完成。”。

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

19.butbut解析：此句意为“30岁的人表现出非常不同的握笔方式，…超过40岁的人都统一用三个手指握笔。”显然，此空处表转折。

20.linklink解析：与37题对应，此处应填link，表明在“near-pointgripping”和“slow，illegiblewriting”之间存在联系。

21.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。

22.whowho解析：此空后的句子应为teacher的定语从句，故此空处应填who，引导修饰人的定语从句。

23.thatthat解析：参见32题解析，idea与bigachievementsrarelycomeeasilyandquickly是同位语，故此空应填that，引导同位语从句。

24.thoughthough解析：本句话的意思是“尽管知道顾客们可能不知道自己为什么买了这些商品，但是卖家却知道怎么去做。”故答案为though。

25.gogo解析：gotoone’sheads的意思是“展现、表现”，俗语。用在文中表示“把…写在脸上”，生怕别人不知道的显摆。故答案为go。

26.C解析：由全文可以推断，要指出犯罪率下降的确切原因是很困难的。

27.D解析：此题问技术员的回答如何。文章中“ButIdoneedit．”“Yes．butyoudon’thaveit．”Wewentonlikethisforawhile．Finally，heofferedtowalkmethrough…可以看出“技术员最后是在敷衍作者，没有提出一个合理的解决办法”。所以本题应选D。

28.B解析：由B可以看出，该所学校并不提供奖学金。

29.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。

30.BB解析：由下—段第—句“Thepoker—lovingLouis—Dreyfusknew…”可知此空处填
