16.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”。

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

18.reusereuse解析：由后一句“今天几乎每件东西都可以被扔掉。”可知，“…任何东西不再明智了。”中的空处应为“再利用”，这样前后两句逻辑上才能合理。

19.lessless解析：由此空前面的“deterioratedsharply”可知此空应填“更少的”，而不是“更多的”。

20.withoutwithout解析：此处意为年轻人更喜欢没有重大责任的简单工作。所以此处应填“without”。

21.asas解析：thinkofsth．assth．为固定短语，意为“把某物想成某物”。

22.bringbring解析：通过前一句话“suchadreamerCanbebroughtbacktoearth．”中的brought可以知道，这里应该填bring，表示“把…带到”。故答案为bring。

23.thatthat解析：此空之后的内容为suggests的内容，即此处应填that，引导宾语从句。

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

25.forfor解析：解析见上题。desire后面用介词for。故答案为for，表示“…的欲望”。

26.AA解析：下面一段讲的是其他方法来鉴别毒藤，所以看过选项之后，我们可以推断出该空缺的是一些鉴别毒藤的方法，urushiol存在于毒藤的各个部分，最好避免接触毒藤的任何一处。其存在于美国的各个州，三个叶子的肯定不是毒藤等信息。注意下一段的关键词“other”。所以本题应选A。

27.D解析：第一段最后一句话指出了疫苗短缺所暴露出来的问题。“Thisreemphasizesthefragilityofourvaccinesupply．”saysDr．MartinMyersoftheNationalNetworkforImmunizationInformation，“andthelackofredundancyinoursystem．”“这再次凸显出我们疫苗供应的脆弱性，”全国免疫信息网的马丁·迈尔斯医生说，“此外，我们也没有必要的补救机制。”因此正

28.EE解析：由上一段中提到的“…whengeneticallymixedwithawildstrainofmushroom…”可知，只有E放在此处才能使上下段衔接，意思连贯。

29.A解析：“Itwaslikeofferingtodropasafeonmyheadtocuremyheadache．”意为“就像给我提供一个保险箱放我头上来治愈我的头痛一样。”含蓄讽刺地说技术员提供的建议不可采取。所以本题应选A。

30.A解析：由A中的第二段第二句话“Oneithersideofthepalacearemanycomparativelysmallbuildings.”可知。

31.A解析：书评一中“Stiglitzargues，what'sneededtomakeglobalizationworkbetterismoreandsmartergovernmentintervention．”这句话我们可以看出。所以本题应选A。

32.B解析：文中提到的方案有助于存钱，但这样的方案并不适于每一个人，然后给出了其中的一个原因，来说明对于低收入和中等收入的家庭来讲，选择其他投资方式会比这种方式好。由此可猜出词义。所以本题应选B。

33.B解析：由文章第一段第一句“Insuranceissupposedtoprovideprotectionagainstfinancialrisks…”可知。

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

35.C解析：由C中“It’spopularbecauseitisstillaffordable．althoughpriceshaverocketedoverthelastyear．”可以看出WillesdenGreen去年飞速增长，但是房价还能接受。所以此处答案为C。

36.D解析：由短文第六段可知答案为D。

37.B解析：同样，由短文
