16.reasonsreasons解析：本段的第一句話提出問題，問為什么在結(jié)算處擺設(shè)了那么多的商品。很明顯，后面的文章對這個問題進行回答，并列舉了原因。故答案為reasons。

17.ageage解析：此段話均是在比較不同年齡段的人之間寫字的不同，故此空應(yīng)填“年齡”。

18.gogo解析：gotoone’sheads的意思是“展現(xiàn)、表現(xiàn)”，俗語。用在文中表示“把…寫在臉上”，生怕別人不知道的顯擺。故答案為go。

19.thoughthough解析：參見47題解析，由本句句意“…更便宜，…它的95％的部件仍可以使用。”可知，此空處應(yīng)填“盡管，即使”，即eventhough。

20.wherewhere解析：此題考查where引導(dǎo)的定語從句，修飾前面提到的plane，trainorbus。所以此處應(yīng)填關(guān)系副詞“where”。

21.beingbeing解析：avoiddoingsth．意為“避免…”，avoid后必須跟名詞或動名詞。beovercritical意為“過分挑剔的”。

22.creativitycreativity解析：本文是在講述報酬、表揚與創(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”。

23.dodo解析：解析見上題，為了避免與前面的know重復(fù)，這里可以換做do。故答案為do。

24.farfar解析：可用于修飾“toolittle”的只能是far，意為“太少，特別少”。

25.bringbring解析：通過前一句話“suchadreamerCanbebrough
