16.workwork解析：根据上文，对比的是对工作的态度，所以此处应填“work”。

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

18.whichwhich解析：“声誉建立的基础”英语表达为“thefoundationonwhichreputationsarebuilt”，which指代foundations。

19.asas解析：此处为因果关系，意为“因为许多人没有…”，因此此处应填填连词“as”。

20.byby解析：此空所在短句意为“报酬经常毁掉创造性，…鼓励依赖他人的认可和礼物。”显然，空处应填“通过”，在英语中介词by即可表达此意。

21.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。

22.toto解析：“shift”意为“转变”，“从…到…的转变”应该用介词“to”。所以此处应填“to”。

23.losinglosing解析：根据上下文的意思，很多年轻一代的日本人已经不再尊重父母，不再对家庭有责任感，所以这里用。losing表示“渐渐失去了”。所以此处应填“losing”。

24.pollpoll解析：此句意为“Synovate市场研发公司的调查显示”，poll的意思为“民意调查”。因此答案为“poll”。

25.alsoalso解析：由35题解析，拼写有问题的学生必定握笔习惯不好。

26.A解析：由文章第二段“…intheThirdWorldtowardfamilysizeandadawningrealisationthatenvironmentaldegradation…”。

27.D解析：文章的结尾，作者说我们不知道学校学生的能力和大脑两半球功能之间的确切关系；我们不懂大脑两半球是如何通过corpuscallosum相互作用的；间接地提出对于corpuscallosum的影响，多作研究工作。所以本题应选D。

28.D解析：这是一个通篇的中心归纳的考察题。文章一开始就指出“Beforeabigexam，asoundnight’ssleepwilldoyoubetterthanpongovertextbooks．”意思是在晚上好好的睡觉对记忆是有好处的。最后作者有归纳了研究的结果，“…concludedthatthenerveconnectionsinvolvedinmemoryarereinforcedthroughreactivationduringREMsleep…．”也说明结构性知识在REM睡眠中是可以巩固的。故应选D。

29.C解析：由短文第一段中的“Smithnoted，‘Betweentheamoutofsodiumapersonconsumesandheartdisease，circulatorydisorders，strok
