16.customercustomer解析：从这个句子的宾语“…thatheorshehasdoneagoodjobofchoosingtheitems．”可以看出，这里说的是顾客的行为，他们认为自己买这些商品是很理性的。故答案为customer。

17.personperson解析：本句话的意思是“与此相反的一类人是那些想入非非的人。”根据上下文的要求这里应该填入man的同义词。故答案为person。

18.suchsuch解析：“such…as”用来举例子。所以此处应填“such”。

19.afterafter解析：此句意为“…他注意到了那些拼写有问题的学生也有一个坏的握笔习惯，他受到鼓舞调查这个领域。”

20.offoff解析：turnoff是“关掉”的意思，此题考查动词短语的用法，根据上下文语境，这里意思是“关掉你的手机”。所以用副词“off”。

21.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。

22.whichwhich解析：由此句句子成分分析，此空以后的应为定语从句，修饰characteristics，所以此空应填which，引导定语从句。

23.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。

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

25.byby解析：此空所在短句意为“报酬经常毁掉创造性，…鼓励依赖他人的认可和礼物。”显然，空处应填“通过”，在英语中介词by即可表达此意。

26.FF解析：后面的一段说明了相反的情况。“Thepersonwearingtheglasses…”与选项中的“…twopeoplewearsdarkglasses”相对应，故应选F。

27.D解析：由短文第六段可知答案为D。

28.AA解析：上一段最后一句“…suchasdrainingblood…”与A中的“Themassivewartimeblooddrives…”对应。

29.B解析：由文章第一段第一句“Insuranceissupposedtoprovideprotectionagainstfinancialrisks…”可知。

30.D解析：由D中的第三段第二句话“CaliforniaisaleadingstateintheproductionofelectronicproductsandtheareaofLosAngeleshasgrownintoanimportantelectroniccenter．”可知答案为D.

31.D解析：文章最后一段指出，“Co
