9.B

10.A

11.D

12.C

13.B

14.A

15.B

16.oftenoften解析：本句话的意思是“那些自我感觉很了不起、内心充满骄傲的人，总是不需要理由的就被人认为是趾高气扬的人。”故这里答案为often。

17.dodo解析：分析见上题。故答案为do。

18.losinglosing解析：根据上下文的意思，很多年轻一代的日本人已经不再尊重父母，不再对家庭有责任感，所以这里用losing表示“渐渐失去了”。所以此处应填“losing”。

19.boughtbought解析：本句的前一句话说“顾客认为他们需要一些他们其实不需要的商品。”这就是广告的作用。但是买完之后，“他们却不知道当时为什么买了这种商品。”这里是被动的句式。故答案为bought。

20.withwith解析：endupwith意为“以…结束，以…告终”，为固定短语。

21.WarmWarm解析：由此句中的“contrastiveviews”可知，观点是相对的，此空所在短句意为“从…赞扬到冷酷的批评”，显然，应是“热烈的”。

22.againstagainst解析：guardagainst意为“防止，防范，警惕”，为固定短语，against，也可以省略。

23.WhenWhen解析：这里的一句话其实与下一半句“whenwearedown-to-earth，…”所起到的作用是一样的，同时两者也是并列的，when表达了“当…”，所以这里填when。故答案为when。

24.firstfirst解析：根据题意，作者想在这里做一个比较，而比较的对象是目的。这里作者仅仅给出了两个目的，所以这里是和第一个目的进行比较。故答案为first。

25.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。

26.EE解析：由此空上下两段意思看，只有E放在此空可以使上下文衔接通畅。

27.AA解析：由上段的最后一句话“tookoverthehardphysicaltasksandrelievedthestrainonhumanandanimalmuscles．”可知答案为A，后面选项中的“thelaborthatrequiredthehumaneyes，ears，judgmentandmindbutnosweating”与之呼应，故应选A。

28.EE解析：文章第一
