16.accordingaccording解析：accordingto為“依據(jù)”，為固定短語，意為國的民意調(diào)查”。所以此處填according。

17.forfor解析：解析見上題。desire后面用介詞for。故答案為for，表示“…的欲望”。

18.fromfrom解析：“來自…的數(shù)據(jù)”，要用介詞“from”。所以此處應(yīng)填“from”。

19.knowledgeknowledge解析：前面講商家正確的分析市場的供需信息，知道是什么因素影響顧客的購買欲望。這就是他們利用的信息知識(shí)。故答案為knowledge。

20.rewardreward解析：通篇文章均是在講報(bào)酬與創(chuàng)造性的關(guān)系，此句意為“如果孩子們知道他們在為…工作，…?！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)填“報(bào)酬”。

21.displaydisplay解析：這里要回應(yīng)本段第一句話中的“displayed”。在出口結(jié)算處展示的這些小商品無疑是一種誘惑。這里需要用名詞形式。放答案為display。

22.dailydaily解析：此句意為“但是不要使他們的…工作僅僅成為一長串令人心煩的差使。”顯然，此空應(yīng)填“每日的，日常的”。

23.someonesomeone解析：由本文的第一句話“‘Down-to-earth’meanssomeoneorsomethingthatishonest．realisticandeasytodealwith．”可知“Down-to-earth”指的是誠實(shí)，現(xiàn)實(shí)、平易近人的那些人。這里的someone和后面是相對(duì)應(yīng)的。故答案為someone。

24.toto解析：revertto意為“重想，重提”，此句意為“如果你經(jīng)常提到‘我們以前已經(jīng)試著這樣做了，但是不管用’就會(huì)很快地挫傷這種好問的頭腦”。

25.oftenoften解析：本句話的意思是“那些自我感覺很了不起、內(nèi)心充滿驕傲的人，總是不需要理由的就被人認(rèn)為是趾高氣揚(yáng)的人?！惫蔬@里答案為often。

26.BB解析：由下一段第—句“Thepoker-lovingLouis-Dreyfusknew…”可知此空處填B最合適，因?yàn)椤癓ouis-Dreyfus，scionof…”必定在下一段之前邏輯上才講得通。

27.C解析：由短文第三段中“Theindustrialagemaynowbecomingtoanend,andsomeofthechangesinworkpatternswhichitbroughtmayhavetobereversed．”可知。

28.C解析：由C中“It'spopularbecauseitisstillaffordable，althoughpriceshaverocketedoverthelastyear．”可以看出WillesdenGreen去年飛速增長，但是房價(jià)還能接受。所以此處答案為C。

29.C解析：Stiglitz在經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)領(lǐng)域享有的盛譽(yù)，C中“themostprominentandhisemergence”，“acelebratedtheoristwhowasawardedthe2001NobelPrize…”等詞都可以看出他的杰出貢獻(xiàn)。所以本題應(yīng)選C。

30.D解析：由D中“TheprojectincludesanewEurostarterminalopeningthisyearandaspruced-upTubestation，alongsidehundredsofnewhomes，officesandleisurefacilitiessettobecompletedin2015．”可以看出將在King'sCross投資建立許
