16.accordingaccording解析：accordingto为“依据”，为固定短语，意为“根据美国的民意调查”。所以此处填according。

17.ofof解析：deprivesb．ofsth．为固定短语，意为“剥夺某人的某东西(或某权利)”。

18.onon解析：此题也考查介词的用法，在电话中交谈，一般用onthephone。所以此处应填介词“on”。

19.knowledgeknowledge解析：前面讲商家正确的分析市场的供需信息，知道是什么因素影响顾客的购买欲望。这就是他们利用的信息知识。故答案为knowledge。

20.stillstill解析：本句意为“但是空气污染，尽管它…是最危险的，但也只是几种攻击最基本生活功能的污染方式之一。”显然，可知此空应填“仍然”。

21.whichwhich解析：此空后的句子应为定语从句，修饰“tokeneconomies”，故此空应填一个可引导定语从句的词，而且前面可加介词in。

22.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。

23.gripgrip解析：显然，此空应填一个动词“握，拿”，英语中握笔用动词grip。

24.happinesshappiness解析：根据上下文，日本年轻人更看重追求个人的幸福。所以此处应填“happiness”。

25.thethe解析：此处缺冠词，在年轻人之间，用the表示特指。所以此处应填“the”。

26.EE解析：由此空上段的最后一句话“Eachwillveerslightlyandthepassingisdonesmoothly．”可知，当两人接近时应该慢慢的把目光转向别的地方。而后面的一段接着说“thissignal”，也就是选项中的“Itrustyou．Iamnotafraidofyou．”故此处应选E。

27.B解析：由B中的第二段“Thecitywithitsgoodharborwasdiscoveredasearlyas1524，anditwasestablishedbyDutchwhonamedthecityNewAmsterdam．”可知答案为B。

28.C解析：由C中“‘WillesdenGreenhasadiverserangeofpropertiesfrom1930ssemi-detachedhousestolargeVictorianpropertiesandnew-buildswhichattractallkindsofbuyers'，saysRichardChiti，salesmanageratestateagentsEllisandCo．”可以看出WillesdenGreen是一个文化

29.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。

30.BB解析：该空缺下面的段落都是对每一个“myth”的揭示。谁来揭示呢?B项中提到牛津大学老龄化研究中心成立各个问题研究组。

31.B解析：由短文第三段第一句“Incometaxesarethemainsourceoffederalrevenues．”。

32.A解析：第二段中女主人写了一封漂亮的假期贺词给这个她从来没看到或遇到过的人。这个人在她的想象里就是像射击一样把《纽约时报》发射到她家门前，制造的噪声要大于人们从黑市购得的鞭炮的声响。所以她确实不喜欢拉乌尔投递报纸的这种方式。因此正确答案为A。

33.C解析：由C中的第一段最后一句话“Thissourcebook…andprovidespolicyadvice，includingtheuseofcleantechnologiesandenvironmentallysoundproductiontechniques，．．．．”可知。
