16.whatwhat解析：显然，此空后的句子应为"obscure”的宾语从句，而“isbeingwritten”中缺主语，可做主句的宾语、从句的主语的只有what。

17.afterafter解析：此句意为“…他注意到了那些拼写有问题的学生也有一个坏的握笔习惯，他受到鼓舞调查这个领域。”

18.farfar解析：可用于修饰“toolittle”的只能是far，意为“太少，特别少”。

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

20.surveysurvey解析：根据后面的数据，空缺处指的是1993年的一项调查问卷，所以此处应填“survey”。

21.beingbeing解析：avoiddoingsth．意为“避免…”，avoid后必须跟名词或动名词。beovercritical意为“过分挑剔的”。

22.itit解析：本句意为“‘污染’意思是弄脏——表层土或什么东西，通过引进杂质，这使…不健康或不干净。”显然，此空处应指topsoilorsomething，因为前面已出现，所以用it来代替。

23.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”

24.whichwhich解析：由37题解析可知此空应为一个引导定语从句的词，即whi
