16.disposedispose解析：由前一句“但是這個問題因為我們的“一次性”技術(shù)而加劇了。”可知，此處應(yīng)為“丟掉，扔掉”之意，即disposeof。

17.towardtoward解析：作者要表達(dá)的意思是“我怎么才能對別人誠實?！庇⒄Z中表達(dá)“對某人…”一般是用介詞toward。故答案為toward。

18.therebythereby解析：本句句意為“我們也正在污染海洋，殺死了魚類，…剝奪了我們那無價的食物供應(yīng)。”顯然，此空前后為因果關(guān)系，而且depriving前不能用so或其他表因果關(guān)系的連詞，而只能用介詞thereby。

19.asas解析：thinkofsth．a(chǎn)ssth．為固定短語，意為“把某物想成某物”。

20.outout解析：handout意為“分發(fā)，施舍”，為固定短語。

21.creativitycreativity解析：本文是在講述報酬、表揚(yáng)與創(chuàng)造性的關(guān)系，此句意為“但是小心地使用小量的金錢報酬能激起分級學(xué)校孩子們的…”顯然，空處應(yīng)填“創(chuàng)造性”。

22.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，現(xiàn)實、平易近人的那些人。這里的someone和后面是相對應(yīng)的。故答案為someone。

23.againstagainst解析：guardagainst意為“防止，防范，警惕”，為固定短語，against，也可以省略。

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

25.acrossacross解析：getacross意為“使(觀點等)被理解或接受，講清自己的意思”，此句意為“給他們講清巨大的成功不會輕易、快速地到來很重要?！?/p>

26.D解析：fib意為“撒小謊”。

27.D解析：第二段第一句提到“…butoldwastefulhabitsdiehard”，可知雖然美國人開始回收利用一些物品，但是那種浪費(fèi)的舊習(xí)慣依然不好消除b最后一句話“…itcanbecomestrongeronlyasAmericansseetheneedforitmoreclearly．”也說明了只有當(dāng)美國人真正意識到環(huán)保的重要性，他們才能更好的具有環(huán)保意識，言外之意就是說他們依然沒有完全意識到環(huán)保的重要性。故應(yīng)選D。

28.A解析：書評一中“Stiglitzargues，what'sneededtomakeglobalizationworkbetterismoreandsmartergovernmentintervention．”這句話我們可以看出。所以本題應(yīng)選A。

29.A解析：由A中最后一句“TheCollegehasanationalreputationforthequalityofitsdyslexiaprovision．”可知。

30.B解析：有關(guān)商業(yè)方面的報道都是對Stiglitz的論點的支持信息?！啊璭speciallywhenthebusinesspageisfullofstoriesaboutwhite—collarcrimeandthestockmarketseemsstuckinaperpetualrut…”所以本題應(yīng)選B。

31.A解析：pressing意為“緊迫的，急迫的”。

32.BB解析：由下一段第一句中提到的“tomato”可知只有B中“Supporterssaythetomato”與之對應(yīng)。

33.A解析：由A中的最后一句話“…takeonaneconomy—wideperspectivetodrawlessonsforagriculture，trade，landuseandtaxpolicy．”可知。

34.B解析：文中提到的方案有助于存錢，但這樣的方案并不適于每一個人，然后給出了其中的一個原因，來說明對于低收入和中等收入的家庭來講，選擇其他投資方式會比這種方式好。由此可猜出詞義。所以本題應(yīng)選B。

35.A解析：由本文倒數(shù)第二段可知，B、C、D均正確，只有A不對。

36.EE解析：文章的最后一段中指出“averyfew”、“theelitefew”，而選項中的“averysmallgroupof‘scholars’”也正是指出了這種情況，故應(yīng)選E。

37.B解析：talkshop意為“談公事”。

38.D解析：由D中的第二段最后一句話“Morethan90percentoftheUniversity’s、full—timefacultymembersholdaPh．D．orterminaldegreeintheirfield”可知。
