16.workwork解析：根据上文，对比的是对工作的态度，所以此处应填“work”。

17.toto解析：“incontrastto”为固定搭配，意为“与…相对比”。所以此处应填“to”。

18.notnot解析：此空前半句意为“我们真地生活在污染中，呼吸着它”，而后半句意为“它开始…我们的健康、幸福和文明。”显然，这是因果关系，故中间的surprisingly前只能加个否定词not。

19.creativitycreativity解析：本文是在讲述报酬、表扬与创造性的关系，此句意为“但是小心地使用小量的金钱报酬能激起分级学校孩子们的…”显然，空处应填“创造性”。

20.thosethose解析：本句的意思是“他们不认为自己比别的不重要的人更好、更优秀。”这里比较的是down—to—earthpersons和别人。故答案为those。

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.workwork解析：本句意为“我们以前已经尝试过，但是不…。”显然，此空处应填“奏效，起作用”，英语中表达这一含义最地道的词就是work。

23.outout解析：handout意为“分发，施舍”，为固定短语。

24.whatwhat解析：显然，此空后的句子应为“obscure”的宾语从句，而“isbeingwritten”中缺主语，可做主句的宾语、从句的主语的只有what。

25.therebythereby解析：本句句意为“我们也正在污染海洋，杀死了鱼类，…剥夺了我们那无价的食物供应。”显然，此空前后为因果关系，而且depriving前不能用so或其他表因果关系的连词，而只能用介词thereby。

26.B解析：第一段中，作者说自己想保存文件，但是光标不动了，死机了。只有把电池拔出强行关机，所以排除A，D。C中说电脑拒绝工作，不合题意。所以本题应选B。

27.B解析：文章第二段一开头就说：“It'snotentirelyclearwhymedicinehasbeensoslowtobuildonAnderson’searlysuccess．”从时间上来看，Anderson采用基因疗法的成功尝试已经是1990年的事情了，两相对照，可见他的成功没有让医学加速发展。因此正确答案为B。

28.D解析：原文对应信息是：“Eagertoboosttheirmagazinerankings，whicharebasedinpartonthetestscoresofenteringfreshmen．they’rethrowingmoreaidatsmarterkids——whethertheyneeditornot．”该句话说明“学校为了提高其杂志排名，就给那些比较聪明的孩子经济上给予较大的帮助，不管他们需不需要帮助”。由此可以看出，急需帮助的学生并不一定就能获得帮助。所以A、B、C均不符合题意。所以本题应选D。

29.C解析：由第二段中的“Second，theyhavetoadoptacomputersystemcalled…”可知。

30.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。

31.D解析：在第三段中女主人公意识到也许在四点的服务的原因是经过精心策划的而不是随意粗鲁的习惯，假期小费从随意的一句谢谢发展成为黑社会的保护勒索，所以作者是被迫的给假期小费的。因此正确答案为D。

32.C解析：选项A即心理学家已经放弃，而生物学家正在展开研究工作。而文中第三句话说“Psychologistsviewthesubjecteitherasamatteroffrustrationorajoke．”即心理学家认为这个研究不是一件沮丧的事，就是一个笑话，此句和选项A含义不一样。选项B即大脑区别显示出一个性别优于另外一个性别。而文中第一段最后一句话说“Butbeingdifferent，theypointouthurriedly，isnotthesameasbeingbetterorworse．”即他们指出尽管有区别，但并不能说明谁优谁劣，此句和选项B含义不一样。选项D两性大脑结构的区别早已为人所知。而文中第三段第三句话说“Thisisthefirsttimethatastructuraldifferencehasbeenfoundbetweenthebrainsofwomenandmen…”即这是第一次人们发现了两性大脑结
