16.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。

17.thosethose解析：文章中提到“16-19岁之间的日本青年跟25-29岁之间的青年对比”，这里缺少代词，替代“Japaneseyouth”。所以此处应填“those”

18.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。

19.nono解析：本句话的意思是“那些趾高气扬的人不可能是那些平易近人的人”。这是否定的意思，故答案为no。

20.tastetaste解析：本句意为“我们看得见它，闻得见它，…它，喝它，而且在它中间挣扎。”由常识可知，此空处只有一个“尝”较合适。

21.concernconcern解析：“concernfor”表示“对…关心”。所以此处应填“concern”。

22.muchmuch解析：参见43题解析。显然，此空处应为“太多的”。

23.betweenbetween解析：“…relation…actionsandtheirconsequences”意为“…行动和它们的结果…关系”，空处显然缺“之间”。

24.andand解析：“both…and…”为固定搭配，“两者都”。所以此处应填“and”。

25.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。

26.D解析：这是一个通篇的中心归纳的考察题。文章一开始就指出“Beforeabigexam,asoundnight’ssleepwilldoyoubetterthanporingovertextbooks.”意思是在晚上好好的睡觉对记忆是有好处的。最后作者有归纳了研究的结果，“…concludedthatthenerveconnectionsinvolvedinmemoryarereinforcedthroughreactivationduringREMsl

27.B解析：书评二中最后几句话提到了Stiglitz对RubinandSummers，Fischer，theNO.2officialanddefactochiefexecutiveoftheIMF的批评，“…theyhadtoomuchfaiththatmarketscouldtransform.poorcountriesovernight．Helabelsthesethreemenmarketfundamentalists”都可以看出题目中包含的信息。所以本题

28.C解析：越来越多的人赞成Stiglitz的观点，批评自由贸易和全球化，从“Suchclaimsarenolongereredible，forStiglitzispartofasmallbutgrowinggroupofeconomists，sociologistsandpoliticalscientists…”growing一词可以看出答案。所以本题应选C。

29.C解析：由C中的第一段“Thecityisnowthelargestindustrialcityinthecountry．”可知答案为C。

30.C解析：从第一段最后一句话“Botticelli'sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste,pleasingneitheramateurobserversnorconnoisseurs.”可知，作者讲述了那些评论家，不管是业余的还是职业的，他们都不满意它的作品风格。所以这个词的意思可能是“对作品做出评论的那些业余人士”。故应选C。

31.DD解析：此处的上面提到了两个问题，而选项D中也对两个问题做出了相应的解释。故应选D。

32.A解析：由A中advantage第一句话“Hydro-electricpowerstationscanincreasetofullpowerveryquickly，unlikeotherpowerstations.”可知答案为A。

33.C解析：由第三段中的“Forthosecompaniesusingtechnology，theperdocumentcostofinformationprocessingisonlyafractionofwhatitwasafewyearsago．”可知。
