16.accordingaccording解析：accordingto意为“根据”，为固定短语，本句句意为“根据对…的严格调查，…。”

17.amongamong解析：此句意为“后一种观点得到了许多支持者，尤其…教育家。”显然，空处应填“在…中”，介词among即有此意。

18.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”。

19.thoughthough解析：参见47题解析，由本句句意“…更便宜，…它的95％的部件仍可以使用。”可知，此空处应填“尽管，即使”，即eventhough。

20.productionproduction解析：从前一句话“Themanufacturersgobeyondonlytellingconsumersabouttheirproducts.”可以看出，一方面广告要介绍自己的产品，而第二个目的就是卖掉自己的产品。所以这里作者想要表达的意思是“广告要使得顾客有一种购买的欲望去购买自己的产品。”故答案为production。

21.ofof解析：beofthesame…意为“是一样…”，此句意为“…在正确的指导下，他们能继续学习，继续通过干许多一样复杂的工作而获得多样性。”

22.onon解析：“…的决定”英语表达为“decisiononsth．”这里介词需要用on。故答案为on。

23.threatenthreaten解析：由33题解析可以知道此空一定为“威胁”之意。

24.displaydisplay解析：这里要回应本段第一句话中的“displayed”。在出口结算处展示的这些小商品无疑是一种诱惑。这里需要用名词形式。故答案为display。

25.offoff解析：turnoff是“关掉”的意思，此题考查动词短语的用法，根据上下文语境，这里意思是“关掉你的手机”。所以用副词“off”。

26.C解析：由C中的howitworks中的第一条“Thiswasoriginallydevelopedinordertoprovideelectricityforsatellites…．．”可知答案为C。

27.D解析：由文章最后一段中的“Thepositivesideofitistherearebetterproducts--they’recheaperandmoreflexible．”可知。

28.D解析：第四段提到基因疗法遭受的一起挫折——一个病人因接受基因疗法而死亡；接着讲专家担心运动员利用基因在比赛中作弊会进一步tarnish这一领域，从上下文逻辑推理，应该是“有损，玷污”这一类的意思，因此正确答案为D。

29.AA解析：由上下两段可知，只有A放在此处可以使上下文衔接，意思顺畅。

30.C解析：由文章第二段可知C不对，而A、B、D文中均提到了。

31.D解析：由D中Smithadds，“Investment-wise，King’sCrossisagoodbet．Thereisabigrentalmarkethereandpriceswillgoup．Therearestillcheaperpropertiesavailable，onetotwobedroomflatsinVictorianconversions，orex—councilproperties．Butpeopleareholdingontothemfordearfifeinthehopetheywillgoupinvalue．Ifyoufindone，itisworthinvestingin．”可以看出在King’sCross投资将会物有所值。所以此处答案为D。

32.A解析：由A中的第一段“Washington，thecapitaloftheUnitedStates，isinWashingtonD.C.”可知答案为A。

33.A解析：由短文最后一段最后一句可知A不对。

34.D解析：由短文最后一段中的“Butnewmaterialshavenoimpactuntiltheyaremadeintoprod
