16、据句意“在社会角色确定的社会里，男孩通常效仿他们父亲的行为，女孩通常效仿他们母亲的行为。”可知此空填的词是代替前面提到的名词behavior的，为了避免名词重复出现，所以要用代词来代替。that,those, one和the ones都可以代替前面提到的名词，他们的共同特点是：名词后面都有定语来修饰（常跟的定语有介词短语、过去分词短语或定语从句）；其区别是：that可指代可数名词单数（表“人”的名词除外）和不可数名词,表特指（即名词前有定冠词the）, 如本句的“the behavior of their fathers”即“the + 不可数名词+介词短语” 就符合that的用法，即that

17、 of their mothers；those的用法同that，所不同的是，those指代可数名词的复数, 此时those= the ones;而 one 只指代可数名词的单数，既可代指人的名词又可代不指人的名词，表泛指。故选a。18. he will have to find some other work, for he cant _this loud noise any more.   a. come up with  b. put up with   c. end up with  d. keep up with参考答案：b1
