16.dodo解析：答案为do。

17.atat解析：某大学的教授，应为“aprofessorat…university”，所以答案为介词“at”。

18.airair解析：由前面的smog可知，此空处应填与smog相应的物质，又由后面的“hoversovercities”可知，此物质只能是“脏空气”。

19.itit解析：本句意为“‘污染’意思是弄脏——表层土或什么东西，通过引进杂质，这使…不健康或不干净。”显然，此空处应指topsoilorsomething，因为前面已出现，所以用it来代替。

20.ofof解析：beofthesame…意为“是一样…”，此句意为“…在正确的指导下，他们能继续学习，继续通过干许多一样复杂的工作而获得多样性。”

21.asas解析：此处为因果关系，意为“因为许多人没有…”，因此此处应填填连词“as”。

22.wherewhere解析：此题考查where引导的定语从句，修饰前面提到的plane，trainorbus。所以此处应填关系副词“where”。

23.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”。

25.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。”

26.D解析：由D中“TheprojectincludesanewEurostarterminalopeningthisyearandaspruced—upTubestation，alongsidehundredsofnewhomes，officesandleisurefacilitiessettobecompletedin2015．”可以看出将在King’sCross投资建立许多基础设施。所以此处答案为D。

27.B解析：talkshop意为“谈公事”。

28.A解析：由A中最后一句“TheCollegehasanationalreputationforthequalityofitsdyslexiaprovision．”可知。

29.B解析：由第四段第二句“Thegovernmentestimatesthat95millionpeoplestillqualifyforshotsunderthevoluntaryrestrictionsannouncedlastweek．”中可以知道大约有九千五百万人有资格注射疫苗。根据第四段第三句：“That’snearlytwicethenumberofdosesthatclinicswillhaveonhand，butonly60millionAmericansseekoutshotsinanorm
