16.thethe解析：此處缺冠詞，在年輕人之間，用the表示特指。所以此處應(yīng)填“the”。

17.drinkingdrinking解析：由本句句意“通過將污水和化學(xué)物質(zhì)倒入河流和湖泊，我們已經(jīng)污染了我們的…水?！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)為“飲用”。

18.whatwhat解析：解析同上。這里是一個名詞性從句，what在句中做主語。故答案為what。

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.AA解析：只有A放在此處才能與上一段意思連貫。

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