16.workwork解析：本句意为“我们以前已经尝试过，但是不…。”显然，此空处应填“奏效，起作用”，英语中表达这一含义最地道的词就是work。

17.whatwhat解析：此题考查what引导的宾语从句。要注意分析句子中的成分，此空为listento后的宾语。所以此处应填引导词“what”。

18.thatthat解析：参见32题解析，idea与bigachievementsrarelycomeeasilyandquickly是同位语，故此空应填that，引导同位语从句。

19.workwork解析：根据上文，对比的是对工作的态度，所以此处应填“work”。

20.onon解析：此题也考查介词的用法，在电话中交谈，一般用onthephone。所以此处应填介词“on”。

21.thethe解析：此处缺冠词，在年轻人之间，用the表示特指。所以此处应填“the”。

22.closeclose解析：显然，不好的习惯是“太靠近桌子”，故应填“近”。

23.gripgrip解析：显然，此空应填一个动词“握，拿”，英语中握笔用动词grip。

24.butbut解析：此句意为“30岁的人表现出非常不同的握笔方式，…超过40岁的人都统一用三个手指握笔。”显然，此空处表转折。

25.InsteadInstead解析：由本句句意“…修一台烤箱或一台收音机，买一台新的、扔掉旧的更容易、更便宜…”可知，肯定是“不修”，又因为有介词of，所以应填intead。insteadof意为“不做某事”，是固定短语。

26.DD解析：由上一段中的“Edwina…andcalledhimontheintercorn．”可知D中的“…closertotheintercom…”与之呼应。

27.D解析：根据这篇文章，普遍认为大脑的区别由什么因素引起的?短文第三段倒数第二句话说“Wetendtothinkthat，istheinfluenceofsocietythatproducesthesedifferences．”即我们认为社会的影响造
