16.thosethose解析：文章中提到“16-19歲之間的日本青年跟25-29歲之間的青年對比”，這里缺少代詞，替代“Japaneseyouth”。所以此處應(yīng)填“those”

17.acrossacross解析：getacross意為“使(觀點(diǎn)等)被理解或接受，講清自己的意思”，此句意為“給他們講清巨大的成功不會(huì)輕易、快速地到來很重要。”

18.afterafter解析：此句意為“…他注意到了那些拼寫有問題的學(xué)生也有一個(gè)壞的握筆習(xí)慣，他受到鼓舞調(diào)查這個(gè)領(lǐng)域。”

19.concernconcern解析：“concernfor”表示“對…關(guān)心”。所以此處應(yīng)填“concern”。

20.stillstill解析：本句意為“但是空氣污染，盡管它…是最危險(xiǎn)的，但也只是幾種攻擊最基本生活功能的污染方式之一?！憋@然，可知此空應(yīng)填“仍然”。

21.asas解析：此處為因果關(guān)系，意為“因?yàn)樵S多人沒有…”，因此此處應(yīng)填填連詞“as”。

22.purposepurpose解析：從文中的第一句話“Themostobviouspurpose…”可以看出后面還有別的目的，而不是僅僅有最明顯的目的。故答案為purpose。

23.whatwhat解析：此題考查what引導(dǎo)的賓語從句。要注意分析句子中的成分，此空為listento后的賓語。所以此處應(yīng)填引導(dǎo)詞“what”。

24.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”。

25.underunder解析：underguidance意為“在…指導(dǎo)下”，為固定短語。

26.D解析：由D中的第二段最后一句話“Morethan90percentoftheUniversity’s、full—timefacultymembersholdaPh．D．orterminaldegreeintheirfield”可知。

27.A解析：由A中將打算建“nighttimeeconomy”可以看出。所以此處答案為A。

28.A解析：由A中的第一句話“‘Bewitched’isapainfullyembarrassingremakeoftheclassicTVsitcomthatranonABCfrom1964—1972．”可知。

29.C解析：由C中的howitworks中的第一條“Thiswasoriginallydevelopedinordertoprovideelectricityforsatellites，…”可知答案為C。

30.B解析：文章第三段最后兩句話“Moreover，itbecomesunworkable．．．theInternet
