16.lookinglooking解析：与介词for的固定搭配，意为“寻求…”，这里指的是寻求新的价值观。所以此处应填“looking”。

17.especiallyespecially解析：“Around1980manyJapanese，——youngpeople…”，“1980年左右许多日本人，尤其是年轻人…”，所以此处应填“especially”。

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.dumpingdumping解析：由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质…入河流和湖泊，…”可知，此空处显然应为“倒”。又因为介词后只能用dumping，而不能用dump。

20.nono解析：本句话的意思是“那些趾高气扬的人不可能是那些平易近人的人”。这是否定的意思，故答案为no。

21.atat解析：此题考固定搭配，atone’sdisposal，意为“任某人自由支配、使唤”。所以此处应填介词“at”。

22.therebythereby解析：本句句意为“我们也正在污染海洋，杀死了鱼类，…剥夺了我们那无价的食物供应。”显然，此空前后为因果关系，而且depriving前不能用so或其他表因果关系的连词，而只能用介词thereby。

23.againstagainst解析：guardagainst意为“防止，防范，警惕”，为固定短语，against也可以省略。

24.somesome解析：这里需要填写的是商品的名称，就是说摆在出口结算处的那些小商品。泛指时用some。故答案为some。

25.stillstill解析：本句意为“但是空气污染，尽管它…是最危险的，但也只是几种攻击最基本生活功能的污染方式之一。”显然，可知此空应填“仍然”。

26.C解析：A、B、D在文中均提到，是正确的，而C不对，文中提到“Youwouldexpectthemtofindtheirfriendsfromtheirprofessionalassociates，butthisisnotthecase．Rather，theyprefertomakefriendswiththenormalfolkintheirdistricts．”

27.B解析：文章的第三段指出“…providedprivacyprotectionsforcertainsectorsthroughlegislationsuchastheFinancialServicesModernizationAct．”意思就是“象FinancialServicesModernizationAct这样
