16.sellingselling解析：关键是看and后面的buying。本句话的意思是“商家分析市场的供需情况。”故答案为selling。

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

18.productionproduction解析：从前一句话“Themanufacturersgobeyondonlytellingconsumersabouttheirproducts．”可以看出，一方面广告要介绍自己的产品，而第二个目的就是卖掉自己的产品。所以这里作者想要表达的意思是“广告要使得顾客有一种购买的欲望去购买自己的产品。”故答案为production。

19.productionproduction解析：从前一句话“Themanufacturersgobeyondonlytellingconsumersabouttheirproducts.”可以看出，一方面广告要介绍自己的产品，而第二个目的就是卖掉自己的产品。所以这里作者想要表达的意思是“广告要使得顾客有一种购买的欲望去购买自己的产品。”故答案为production。

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

21.whosewhose解析：此句意为“StephanieThomas，一位学习辅导老师，…发现已经发表了…。”由此可知，空处所填单词必为whose，引导定语从句，修饰teacher。

22.dividedivide解析：根据上下文语境，这里是“分为”，divide…upinto意为“把…划分为”。所以此处应填动词“divide”。

23.areare解析：分析句子结构，这里缺少系动词be来构成动词的被动形式。故答案为are。

24.airair解析：由前面的smog可知，此空处应填与smog相应的物质，又由后面的“hoversovercities”可知，此物质只能是“脏空气”。

25.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。

26.B解析：由第一段可知，两人是因为肥胖而被送进医院的，故B项正确。A、C项文章中未提到。两个病人不能证明fatlash运动高涨。故D项是错误的。

27.FF解析：第一个“myth”认为随着人口老龄化的增长，西方国家的医疗体系会瘫痪。研究中的一位人口统计学家指出问题的关键是要建成灵活自由的医疗服务结构。

28.C解析：由第一段可知NAAFA认为肥胖无害，故A项是错误的。B项文章中未提到。第一段倒数第二句话说到基因决定人的胖瘦，故C项是正确的。NAAFA只是认肥胖对人体无害，并没有说有好处，故D项是错误的。

29.D解析：由本文第二段可知A、B、C均正确，只有D不对。

30.BB解析：该空缺之前讲的
