16.accordingaccording解析：此句意为“…一项个性与社会心理学的六月杂志的研究。”显然，空处应填“根据”。

17.asas解析：such…as意为“这样的…如”。此空后为并列的三个分词短语，即“如”后跟的例举事项。

18.bringbring解析：根据上下文，此处意思为给他们带来快乐。带来用动词“bring”。所以此处应填“bring”。

19.complycomply解析：此处句意为“他们会很懊恼的服从”，表示服从，遵从的短语是complywith。所以此处应填“comply”。

20.bringbring解析：通过前一句话“suchadreamerCanbebroughtbacktoearth．”中的brought可以知道，这里应该填bring，表示“把…带到”。故答案为bring。

21.somesome解析：这里需要填写的是商品的名称，就是说摆在出口结算处的那些小商品。泛指时用some。故答案为some。

22.toto解析：revertto意为“重想，重提”，此句意为“如果你经常提到‘我们以前已经试着这样做了，但是不管用’就会很快地挫伤这种好问的头脑”。

23.normalnormal解析：根据上下文可以判断此处句意为“很正常的事情”，因此此处应填“normal”。

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

25.differencedifference解析：显然，这句话是在对老年人和年轻人写字之间进行比较，而且由后半句中的"getbetterat…”可知，此空必为“不同的”。

26.A解析：文章的主要目的是什么?短文介绍科学家在有关大脑结构方面的研究成果。B、C、D只是片面上的。所以本题应选A。

27.EE解析：由上下两段可知，只有E放在此处可使上下文衔接。

28.A解析：由A中内容的introduction中“…providingaround20％oftheworld’selectricity．”可知答案为A。

29.C解析：原文对应信息是：“Traditionalscholarships，academicorathletic,arestillapartofmanyfamilies'planning．”意为“许多家庭还在依赖传统的奖学金，不管是学习上的还是体育上的。”所以本题应选C。

30.B解析：B中提到“TheaccoladeofwinningtheSchoolsCurriculumAwardin1997gaveEdgehillnationalrecognitionand，recentlv,…”。

31.DD解析：由上下两段综合分析，只有D放在此处符合逻辑。

32.C解析：文章第二段对于基因治疗的方式的解释是用于治疗的基因通过“virusesthatdon’tcausehumandisease”进入体内，就好像“特洛伊木马”一样，由此可见，这些病毒是无害的。因此正确答案为C。

33.B解析：同样，由短文第一段最后一句可知作者提到基因工程和计算机科学就是为了表明新材料对未来世界的重要性。

34.D解析：由D中的第三段“Theauthorarguesthatpollutioniscontrolledbyincreasi
