16.somesome解析：关键是注意and前后一致。“somerationaland…emotional”，前面说促使顾客购买的动机有很多，有的是理性的，有的却是冲动。所以这里应该是some。故答案为some。

17.oppositeopposite解析：从文章第二段的内容可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson和那些表面上装的很重要的人物正好相反。所以这里应填“相反的”，故答案为opposite。

18.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。

19.disposedispose解析：由前一句“但是这个问题因为我们的“一次性”技术而加剧了。”可知，此处应为“丢掉，扔掉”之意，即disposeof。

20.onon解析：“…的决定”英语表达为“decisiononsth．”这里介词需要用on。故答案为on。

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.whowho解析：此空后的句子显然为定语从句，修饰“Behaviorists”，所以应填一个who，引导修饰人的定语从句。

23.AsAs解析：此句意为“…后一种观点的例子，…”显然，空处应填“作为”。

24.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”。

25.readyready解析：顾客来到结算处，说明他们准备好了要付账。bereadyto的意思是“准备好了做某事”。故答案为ready。

26.A解析：由短文最后一段中的“Andthattransitioncouldprovedifficult，forswitchingrequireslengthyresearchandinvestment．”。

27.A解析：划线单词所在句子句意为“事情的另一面是：保险公司已经开发了一些很有创造性的，能与其他替代产品，诸如投资竞争的产品。它们能够满足任何一种全面投资计划的需求。”可见“它们”即指“creativeandcompetitiveinsuranceproducts”。

28.DD解析：由上下两段综合分析，只有D放在此处符合逻辑。

29.EE解析：由上一段中提到的“…whengeneticallymixedwithawildstrainofmushroom…”可知，只有E放在此处才能使上下段衔接，意思连贯。

30.D解析：由D中的第二段第一句话“…thatelementsofitcanbefoundinvirtuallyevery‘organizedcrimefilm’nowadays；…”可知。

31.D解析：根据这篇文章，普遍认为大脑的区别由什么因素引起的?短文第三段倒数第二句话说“Wetendtothinkthat，istheinfluenceofsocietythatproducesthesedifferences．”即我们认为社会的影响造成了这些区别。A、B、c均不符合题意。所以本题应选D。

32.CC解析：由此空上几段看，均是在讲述Louis-Dreyfus的事，而下一段则提到另一个人MichaelMichalsky，故此空应为C，因为C中讲述的仍是Louis—Dreyfus的事。

33.A解析：“Comparisonofthesignificanceoftwoeconomicbooks”含有对两本经济书的对比信息的，我们可以看出四个书评中只有A中提到了两本书之间的关系。所以本题应选A。

34.B解析：文章的第三段指出“…providedprivacyprotectionsforcertainsectorsthroughlegislationsuchastheFinancialServicesModernizationAct．”意思就是“象FinancialServicesModernizationAct这样的法案就是国会为了保护别人隐私而设定的。”
