16.whichwhich解析：此空后的句子应为定语从句，修饰“tokeneconomies”，故此空应填一个可引导定语从句的词，而且前面可加介词in。

17.amongamong解析：此句意为“后一种观点得到了许多支持者，尤其…教育家。”显然，空处应填“在…中”，介词among即有此意。

18.somesome解析：关键是注意and前后一致。“somerationaland…emotional”，前面说促使顾客购买的动机有很多，有的是理性的，有的却是冲动。所以这里应该是some。故答案为some。

19.especiallyespecially解析：“Around1980many．Japanese，______youngpeople…”，“1980年左右许多日本人，尤其是年轻人…”，所以此处应填“especially”。

20.farfar解析：能修饰too的副词只有far或much。

21.wherewhere解析：此题考查where引导的定语从句，修饰前面提到的plane，trainorbus。所以此处应填关系副词“where”。

22.ofof解析：deprivesb．ofsth．为固定短语，意为“剥夺某人的某东西(或某权利)”。

23.workwork解析：本句意为“我们以前已经尝试过，但是不…。”显然，此空处应填“奏效，起作用”，英语中表达这一含义最地道的词就是work。

24.oftenoften解析：本句话的意思是“那些自我感觉很了不起、内心充满骄傲的人，总是不需要理由的就被人认为是趾高气扬的人。”故这里答案为often。

25.whatwhat解析：这句话的意思是“这就是商家和卖者希望顾客们做的事情”，what引导的是一个表语从句，故答案为what。

26.A解析：由短文最后一段最后一句可知A不对。

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

28.B解析：由短文第四段第一句“…the17thand18thcenturiesmademanypeopledependentonpaidworkbydeprivingthemoftheuseoftheland…．”可知。

29.D解析：在第三段中女主人公意识到也许在四点的服务的原因是经过精心策划的而不是随意粗鲁的习惯，假期小费从随意的一句谢谢发展成为黑社会的保护勒索，所以作者是被迫的给假期小费的。因此正确答案为D。

30.C解析：由文章第二段可知C不对，而A、B、D文中均提到了。

31.D解析：由第二段最后—句“InNewYork，Comstat'sstatisticalm
