16.onon解析：此題也考查介詞的用法，在電話中交談，一般用onthephone。所以此處應(yīng)填介詞“on”。

17.rationalrational解析：從文章的后面可以知道，顧客們已經(jīng)要結(jié)算了，認(rèn)為都買了該買的商品。但是售貨員在他們等著付賬的過程中巧妙的利用顧客們的購物沖動向他們推銷，而不是理性購物。故答案為rational。

18.offoff解析：turnoff是“關(guān)掉”的意思，此題考查動詞短語的用法，根據(jù)上下文語境，這里意思是“關(guān)掉你的手機(jī)”。所以用副詞“off”。

19.poorpoor解析：此句意為“但是很容易通過給…表現(xiàn)報(bào)酬或創(chuàng)造對報(bào)酬太…的期望而扼殺創(chuàng)造性?！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)填“劣拙的，不好的”。

20.andand解析：這三個分詞短語是并列的，故中間的連詞只能用and。

21.werewere解析：考查被動語態(tài)的用法，注意分析句子成分。所以此處應(yīng)填“were”。

22.somesome解析：關(guān)鍵是注意and前后一致?！皊omerationaland…emotional”，前面說促使顧客購買的動機(jī)有很多，有的是理性的，有的卻是沖動。所以這里應(yīng)該是some。故答案為some。

23.foundfound解析：此句意為“1,000名受訪者中有70%的發(fā)現(xiàn)，相對于其他設(shè)備來說，在使用手機(jī)時(shí)人們表現(xiàn)出最差的禮儀”，所以答案為“found”。

24.butbut解析：這里表達(dá)的前后句意是一種轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。前面說“hemayhavedreams，”而后面“hedoesnotallowthemtoblockhisknowledge…”的意思卻是“但是他也不會讓這些夢想阻擋自己對什么是現(xiàn)實(shí)的理解?！惫蚀鸢笧閎ut。

25.toto解析：“incontrastto”為固定搭配，意為“與…相對比”。所以此處應(yīng)填“to”。

26.AA解析：上一段最后一句“…suchasdrainingblood…”與A中的“Themassivewartimeblooddrives…”對應(yīng)。

27.D解析：書評一中的“…h(huán)eignoressomekeyargumentsinfavorofthemarket…”，書評二中的“Whilepartsofthisbookaredisappointinglyshallow…”，書評三種的“Stiglitz，58，ishardlythefirstpersontoaccusetheIMF…”都有提到Stiglitz的一些負(fù)面的消息。所以本題應(yīng)選D。

28.C解析：由第三段中的“Forthosecompaniesusingtechnology，theperdocumentcostofinformationprocessingisonlyafractionofwhatitwasafewyearsago．”可知。

29.A解析：本文談到青少年自殺問題，自殺顯然不會是C、D，故排除。cool也并不是這些孩子自殺的目的，只有A合適。

30.B解析：由第四段中的“Thehorsesarelessaffectedthanamanwouldbe，andwhentheelectriceelshaveexhaustedthemselves，theycallbecaughtwithoutdanger．”可知。

31.D解析：文章的第一段最后一句話“Evenwhenanti-academicarthistorians．．．，Botticelli’sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste…．”，就算當(dāng)時(shí)很多正統(tǒng)的藝術(shù)風(fēng)格被批判，波提切利的作品也沒有引起重視，認(rèn)為他的作品不隨人們的口味，既滿足不了專業(yè)人士的品位，也不能滿足業(yè)余人士的欣賞要求。這里的undervalue的意思是“低估，沒有重視”，故應(yīng)選D。

32.A解析：由短文最后一段中的“Andthattransitioncouldprovedifficult，forswitchingrequireslengthyresearchandinvestment．”。

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

34.C解析：文章第三段指出“ItisfarmoredifficultforAmericanstoaccept
