16.complycomply解析：此處句意為“他們會很懊惱的服從”，表示服從，遵從的短語是complywith。所以此處應填“comply”。

17.dumpingdumping解析：由本句句意“通過將污水和化學物質(zhì)…入河流和湖泊，…”可知，此空處顯然應為“倒”。又因為介詞后只能用dumping，而不能用dump。

18.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。

19.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。

20.productionproduction解析：從前一句話“Themanufacturersgobeyondonlytellingconsumersabouttheirproducts．”可以看出，一方面廣告要介紹自己的產(chǎn)品，而第二個目的就是賣掉自己的產(chǎn)品。所以這里作者想要表達的意思是“廣告要使得顧客有一種購買的欲望去購買自己的產(chǎn)品。”故答案為production。

21.personperson解析：本句話的意思是“與此相反的一類人是那些想入非非的人。”根據(jù)上下文
