12.highlysubjectiveWay

13.B

14.C

15.A

16.diddid解析：据38题解析，由于while意为“尽管”，才有后面起强调作用的did，意为“确实”，言下之意有转折之意。

17.fromfrom解析：“来自…的数据”，要用介词“from”。所以此处应填“from”。

18.takestakes解析：要注意时态，这里意为“占据”，所以所以此处应填“takes”。

19.closeclose解析：显然，不好的习惯是“太靠近桌子”，故应填“近”。

20.thatthat解析：此空后的内容为maintain的内容，即此空后的句子为maintain的宾语，应填一个可引导宾语从句的词。

21.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。

22.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。

23.someonesomeone解析：由本文的第一句话“‘Down-to-earth’meanssomeoneorsomethingthatishonest．realisticandeasytodealwith．”可知“Down-to-earth”指的是诚实，现实、平易近人的那些人。这里的someone和后面是相对应的。故答案为someone。

24.rewardreward解析：通篇文章均是在讲报酬与创造性的关系，此句意为“如果孩子们知道他们在为…工作，…。”显然，此空处应填“报酬”。

25.gogo解析：gotoone’sheads的意思是“展现、表现”，俗语。用在文中表示“把…写在脸上”，生怕别人不知道的显摆。故答案为go。

26.CC解析：由此空上几段看，均是在讲述Louis-Dreyfus的事，而下一段则提到另一个人MichaelMichalsky，故此空应为C，因为C中讲述的仍是Louis-Dreyfus的事。

27.D解析：选项A意思不准确，文中提到公立大学和私立大学的学费问题，但并没有表明家长的态度和倾向；选项B意思不对，文中对应信息是第二段；申请贷款并不是无条件的，这是选项C的错误所在。综观全文，可以看出传统意义上的奖学金还是很有吸引力的。所以本题应选D。

28.D解析：deforestation意为“滥伐森林”。

29.B解析：文中提到，在一家企业中，最昂贵的资源是人力资源。

30.C解析：由文章中作者描述联合国世界领导人会议的口气看，他对待该会议的态度应是critical的。

31.A解析：由A中内容的introduction中“…providingaround20%
