16.thosethose解析：文章中提到“16-19歲之間的日本青年跟25-29歲之間的青年對(duì)比”，這里缺少代詞，替代“Japaneseyouth”。所以此處應(yīng)填“those”

17.unlikeunlike解析：根據(jù)下文，以日本學(xué)生與美國(guó)和韓國(guó)的作對(duì)比，日本的學(xué)生不像韓國(guó)和美國(guó)的學(xué)生一樣。所以此處應(yīng)填“unlike”。

18.personperson解析：本句話的意思是“與此相反的一類人是那些想入非非的人?！备鶕?jù)上下文的要求這里應(yīng)該填入man的同義詞。故答案為person。

19.whichwhich解析：由37題解析可知此空應(yīng)為一個(gè)引導(dǎo)定語從句的詞，即which，其后的定語修飾“several(typesofcontamination)”。

20.disposedispose解析：由前一句“但是這個(gè)問題因?yàn)槲覀兊摹耙淮涡浴奔夹g(shù)而加劇了?！笨芍?，此處應(yīng)為“丟掉，扔掉”之意，即disposeof。

21.whatwhat解析：解析同上。這里是一個(gè)名詞性從句，what在句中做主語。故答案為what。

22.thatthat解析：此空之后的內(nèi)容為suggests的內(nèi)容，即此處應(yīng)填that，引導(dǎo)賓語從句。

23.olderolder解析：grow只能是年齡越來越大。

24.toto解析：“shift”意為“轉(zhuǎn)變”，“從…到…的轉(zhuǎn)變”應(yīng)該用介詞“to”。所以此處應(yīng)填“to”。

25.likelylikely解析：前面所說的thepersonwhoisdown-to-earth與thepersonwhosebothfeetontheground大體是一類人，所以這里表達(dá)的意思是“很有可能就是一類人”。belikelytodo就表達(dá)了這種意思。故答案為likely。

26.D解析：由D中的最后一段倒數(shù)第二句話“ThetempleisacombinationofHan,TibetanandNepalesearchitecturaltechniques.”可知。

27.AA解析：第二個(gè)“myth”是擔(dān)心人口老齡化會(huì)使工作人員越來越少。研究中心人員提出應(yīng)該給年長(zhǎng)的人提供各種培訓(xùn)機(jī)會(huì)。A中“Ourstudiesshowthattherearebenefitsfromhavinganage—integratedworkforce．”說“研究表明不同年齡段的勞動(dòng)力的融合也會(huì)有許多好處”。

28.C解析：由第二段最后一句“Toreceiveareturnontheirinvestment，wisecorporateexecutiveofficersarerealizingwhatindustrialistsandagriculturistslearnedlongago—efficienttoolsareessentialforincreasedproductivity．”可知。

29.B解析：文章第二段一開頭就
