16.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。

17.toto解析：“attributeto”意为“把某事归因于”，为固定搭配，所以此处应填“to”。

18.byby解析：由日本政府收集的数据。考查被动语态的用法，“由…”用介词“by”。所以此处应填“by”。

19.dodo解析：分析见上题。故答案为do。

20.thatthat解析：参见32题解析，idea与bigachievementsrarelycomeeasilyandquickly是同位语，故此空应填that，引导同位语从句。

21.whichwhich解析：“声誉建立的基础”英语表达为“thefoundationonwhichreputationsarebuilt”，which指代foundations。

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.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。

24.dumpingdumping解析：由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质…人河流和湖泊，…”可知，此空处显然应为“倒”。又因为介词后只能用dumping，而不能用dump。

25.werewere解析：考查被动语态的用法，注意分析句子成分。所以此处应填“were”。

26.C解析：由第一段可知NAAFA认为肥胖无害，故A项是错误的。B项文章中未提到。第一段倒数第二句话说到基因决定人的胖瘦，故C项是正确的。NAAFA只是认肥胖对人体无害，并没有说有好处，故D项是错误的。

27.B解析：文章第三段最后两句话“Moreover，itbecomesunworkable…theInternetdoesnotknowgeographicboundaries，andcompaniesandindividualscannotbeexpectedtocomplywithdiffering，andattimesconflicting，privacyrules．”这说明各州制定的法律是不好实施的，因为网络是不具有地域限制的。这种法律不能仅仅限制在某个州的范围之内

28.CC解析：由下一段第一句“Thebookbeginswith…”可知，只有C放于此空处才可以与下文衔接，意思连贯。

29.A解析：pressing意为“紧迫的，急迫的”。

30.BB解析：由此空下面一段段意及B中的“…Itseemed，Edwinathought…”可知B与下一段前后呼应。

31.B解析：由B中“Thesesellforanythingbetween￡2millionand￡5million．”，每套住房销售价格在200万英镑到500万英镑之间不等，极其昂贵。所以此处答案为B。

32.C解析：
