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

17.creativitycreativity解析：本文是在講述報(bào)酬、表?yè)P(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(bào)酬能激起分級(jí)學(xué)校孩子們的…”顯然，空處應(yīng)填“創(chuàng)造性”。

18.andand解析：“both…and…”為固定搭配，“兩者都”。所以此處應(yīng)填“and”。

19.themthem解析：本題考查代詞的用法，根據(jù)上下文，此處句意為“人們使用這些小玩意兒?！鄙衔囊呀?jīng)提到gadgets，所以這里用代詞“them”代替。

20.linklink解析：與37題對(duì)應(yīng)，此處應(yīng)填link，表明在“near-pointgripping”和“slow，illegiblewriting”之間存在聯(lián)系。

21.threatenthreaten解析：由33題解析可以知道此空一定為“威脅”之意。

22.betweenbetween解析：此句意為“Thomas先生盡管不能在握筆方式和拼寫準(zhǔn)確性之間建立重要的統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)聯(lián)系，…”所以答案為介詞between。

23.promisingpromising解析：此句意為“一家大制造公司最近采訪了許多…的工程師，這些工程師都已離開這家公司?！庇缮舷戮渑袛?，此空處填“有希望的，有前景的”最合句意。

24.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”

25.inin解析：in
