16.especiallyespecially解析：“Around1980many．Japanese，______youngpeople…”，“1980年左右许多日本人，尤其是年轻人…”，所以此处应填“especially”。

17.olderolder解析：grow只能是年龄越来越大。

18.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”。

19.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。

20.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。

21.amongamong解析：此句意为“后一种观点得到了许多支持者，尤其…教育家。”显然，空处应填“在…中”，介词among即有此意。

22.someonesomeone解析：由本文的第一句话“‘Down-to-earth’meanssomeoneorsomethingthatishonest．realisticandeasytodealwith．”可知“Down-to-earth”指的是诚实，现实、平易近人的那些人。这里的someone和后面是相对应的。故答案为someone。

23.oppositeopposite解析：从文章第二段的内容可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson和那些表面上装的很重要的人物正好相反。所以这里应填“相反的”，故答案为opposite。

24.lookinglooking解析：与介词for的固定搭配，意为“寻求…”，这里指的是寻求新的价值观。所以此处应填“looking”。

25.whosewhose解析：这是一个后置定语从句，用whose来引导，表示mind与dreamer的所属关系。故答案为whose。

26.D解析：选项A意思不准确，文中提到公立大学和私立大学的学费问题，但并没有表明家长的态度和倾向；选项B意思不对，文中对应信息是第二段；申请贷款并不是无条件的，这是选项C的错误所在。综观全文，可以看出传统意义上的奖学金还是很有吸引力的。所以本题应选D。

27.D解析：由D中的第三段第二句话“CaliforniaisaleadingstateintheproductionofelectronicproductsandtheareaofLosAngeleshasgrownintoallimportantelectroniccenter．”可知答案为D。

28.A解析：文章第三段提到“TheAmericanideaofthenationalgoodha
