16.muchmuch解析：此空處應(yīng)為“太多的”。

17.customercustomer解析：從這個句子的賓語“…thatheorshehasdoneagoodjobofchoosingtheitems.”可以看出，這里說的是顧客的行為，他們認為自己買這些商品是很理性的。故答案為customer。

18.thatthat解析：參見32題解析，idea與bigachievementsrarelycomeeasilyandquickly是同位語，故此空應(yīng)填that，引導(dǎo)同位語從句。

19.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。”由上下句判斷，此空處填“有希望的，有前景的”最合句意。

20.asas解析：此處為因果關(guān)系，意為“因為許多人沒有…”，因此此處應(yīng)填填連詞“as”。

21.nono解析：本句話的意思是“那些趾高氣揚的人不可能是那些平易近人的人”。這是否定的意思，故答案為no。

22.referencereference解析：這三個分詞短語意為“執(zhí)行日常運算、挖掘…材料、操作再生產(chǎn)設(shè)備”。顯然，“參考材料”最合適。

23.thatthat解析：此空之后的內(nèi)容為suggests的內(nèi)容，即此處應(yīng)填that，引導(dǎo)賓語從句。

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

25.thatthat解析：此空后面的句子為suggesting的內(nèi)容，即應(yīng)為其賓語從句，所以此空處應(yīng)填引導(dǎo)賓語從句的詞，即that。

26.D解析：deforestation意為“濫伐森林”。

27.C解析：由C中第三段第一句“Regularhighstandardperformancesinmusicanddrama，publicspeakinganddebatingareimportantpreparationforadultlife．”可知，該學(xué)校很重視培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的語言天賦。

28.D解析：原文對應(yīng)信息是：“Eagertoboosttheirmagazinerankings，whicharebasedinpartonthetestscoresOfenteringfreshmen．they'rethrowingmoreaidatsmarterkids—whethertheyneeditornot．”該句話說明“學(xué)校為了提高其雜志排名，就給那些比較聰明的孩子經(jīng)濟上給予較大的幫助，不管他們需不需要幫助”。由此可以看出，急需幫助的學(xué)生并不一定就能

29.D解析：第四段提到基因療法遭受的一起挫折——一個病人因接受基因療法而死亡；接著講專家擔心運動員利用基因在比賽中作弊會進一步tarnish這一領(lǐng)域，從上下文邏輯推理，應(yīng)該是“有損，玷污”這一類的意思，因此正確答案為D。

30.D解析：由D中的第二段最后一句話“Morethan90percentoftheUniversity'sfull-timefacultymembersholdaPh．D.orterminaldegreeintheirfield”可知。

31.C解析：文章第二段對于基因治療的方式的解釋是用于治療的基因通過“virusesthatdon’tcausehumandisease”進入體內(nèi)，就好像“特洛伊木馬”一樣，由此可見，這些病毒是無害的。因此正確答案為C。

32.A解析：由A中的第一段“Thepopulationofthecityisabout800，000anditcoversanareaofover69squaremiles．”可知答案為A。

33.A解析：第二段中女主人寫了一封漂亮的假期賀詞給這個她從來沒看到或遇到過的人。這個人在她的想象里就是像射擊一樣把《紐約時報》發(fā)射到她家門前，制造的噪聲要大于人們從黑市購得的鞭炮的聲響。所以她確實不喜歡拉烏爾投遞報紙的這種方式。因此正確答案為A。

34.B解析：同樣，由短文第一段最后一句可知作者提到基因工程和計算機科學(xué)就是為了表明新材料對未來世界的重要性。

35.CC解析：由此處上段的“therewasanothertransition…theywerereplacedbythemillandtheassemblyline．”可知，工業(yè)革命以后，人們不需要象以前那樣賣力氣的工作了。而后面選項中的“westandatthebrinkofach
