16.differencedifference解析：顯然，這句話是在對老年人和年輕人寫字之間進行比較，而且由后半句中的“getbetterat…”可知，此空必為“不同的”。

17.farfar解析：能修飾too的副詞只有far或much。

18.betweenbetween解析：“…relation…actionsandtheirconsequences”意為“…行動和它們的結(jié)果…關(guān)系”，空處顯然缺“之間”。

19.dodo解析：分析見上題。故答案為do。

20.onon解析：focuson意為“集中于”，為固定短語。

21.fromfrom解析：“來自…的數(shù)據(jù)”，要用介詞“from”
