16.drinkingdrinking解析：由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质倒入河流和湖泊，我们已经污染了我们的…水。”显然，此空处应为“饮用”。

17.withwith解析：根据对等关系，这里应该与后面的部分“apersonwithagoodunderstanding”相对应。意思是“那些脚踏实地的人往往是那些很了解现实的人。”故答案为with。

18.whatwhat解析：解析同上。这里是一个名词性从句，what在句中做主语。故答案为what。

19.threatenthreaten解析：由33题解析可以知道此空一定为“威胁”之意。

20.towardtoward解析：作者要表达的意思是“我怎么才能对别人诚实。”英语中表达“对某人…”一般是用介词toward。故答案为toward。

21.withoutwithout解析：此处意为年轻人更喜欢没有重大责任的简单工作。所以此处应填“without”。

22.muchmuch解析：参见43题解析。显然，此空处应为“太多的”。

23.youngyoung解析：本文均是在讲年轻的脑力工作者，故此空所应填的用于修饰“collegegraduates”的词也应是“年轻的”。

24.reusereuse解析：由后一句“今天几乎每件东西都可以被扔掉。”可知，“…任何东西不再明智了。”中的空处应为“再利用”，这样前后两句逻辑上才能合理。

25.waswas解析：此空显然应是句子的谓语成分，应填动词的过去式。

26.B解析：由短文第一段中的“Andaccordingtolegend，therewasaTurkishrulerwho…ToPayforthewearandtearonhisteeth”。

27.C解析：由C中倒数第二段中的“GNVQinbusinessstudiesandhealthandsocialcareprovidesanalternativevocationalpathwayto…”可知。

28.A解析：由全文看，作者支持的一种观点是“为所有人创造工作机会是不可能的”。

29.B解析：由第四段中的“Thehorsesarelessaffectedthanamanwouldbe，andwhentheelectriceelshaveexhaustedthemselves，theycallbecaughtwithoutdanger．”可知。

30.CC解析：接下来讲的是人体的免疫系统与毒藤之间的关系。毒藤会使人产生什么样的反应，该空紧接的就是毒藤过敏反应时如何产生的。“Here’showthepoisonivyresponseoccurs．”一句承上启下。所以本题应选C。

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

32.B解析：第三段中Dr．Laragh提到“…所以建议所有人应该少吃盐没有意义。”可以推知，他的言下之意是“医生不应建议人们不吃盐”。

33.C解析：文章第三段指出“ItisfarmoredifficultforAmericanstoacceptsharedsacrificeforthecommongoodandwell-beingoftheentirecountry．”，接着作者给出一个例子，证明美国人不会为了国家的利益而放弃个人的利益。故应选C。

34.A解析：第六段中男主人看到清理垃圾的车，误以为是Mickey来了，正要出去澄清误会，把上次的小费补上，却遭到了回收员的蔑视，所以他感到澄清误会的机会是很渺茫了，对于假期小费的事情他已经绝望了。因此正确答案为A。

35.C解析：由全文的语气来看，均是在解释、阐述事情，而不是descriptive或narrative，更不是critic。

36.C解析：由C中的第一段第一句话“Chicago，thesecondlargestcityinpopulationintheUnitedStates，”可知答案为C。

37.A解析：由A中的第一段“Washington，thecapitaloftheUnitedStates，isinWashingtonD．C．”可知答案为A。

38.C解析：C中提到“Theschoolcatersforgirlsofaverageabilityandabovebutitisnotnarrowlyacademic．”。

39.A解析：由A中的第一段最后一句话“Atpresent,thePalaceisanelaboratemuseumthatpresentsthelargestandmostcompleteensembleoftraditionalarchitecture…”可知。

40.C解析：由全文可以推断，要指出犯罪率下降的确切原因是很困难的。
