16.proportionproportion解析：此處意為很大比例的學(xué)生仍然喜歡簡單的工作，所以此處應(yīng)填“proportion”。

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

18.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。故答案為display。

23.callscalls解析：此句意為“他把這種缺乏禮節(jié)的行為稱作是一種無意識的無禮”。call+雙賓語結(jié)構(gòu)，以為“把…稱為”，所以此處填“calls”。

24.thatthat解析：此空后的內(nèi)容為maintain的內(nèi)容，即此空后的句子為maintain的賓語，應(yīng)填一個可引導(dǎo)賓語從句的詞。

25.whowho解析：此空后的句子應(yīng)為teacher的定語從句，故此空處應(yīng)填who，引導(dǎo)修飾人的定語從句。
