16.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。

17.asas解析：such…as意为“这样的…如”。此空后为并列的三个分词短语，即“如”后跟的例举事项。

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.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”。

20.ageage解析：此段话均是在比较不同年龄段的人之间写字的不同，故此空应填“年龄”。

21.outout解析：handout意为“分发，施舍”，为固定短语。

22.poorpoor解析：此句意为“但是很容易通过给…表现报酬或创造对报酬太…的期望而扼杀创造性。”显然，此空处应填“劣拙的，不好的”。

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.toto解析：talkto的意思是“和某人聊天”，talk这里不及物动词，后面需要接一个介词。在从句中介词不能省略。作者这里要表达的意思是“和那些诚实的平易近人的人聊天是很惬意的。”故答案为to。

25.promisingpromising解析：此句意为“一家大制造公司最近采访了许多…的工程师，这些工程师都已离开这家公司。”由上下句判断，此空处填“有希望的，有前景的”最合句意。

26.C解析：由短文第三段中“Theindustrialagemaynowbecomingtoanend,andsomeofthechangesinworkpatternswhichitbroughtmayhavetobereversed．”可知。

27.B解析：文章的第三段指出“…providedprivacyprotectionsforcertainsectorsthroughlegislationsuchastheFinancialServicesModernizationAct．”意思就是“象FinancialServicesModernizationAct这样的法案就是国会为了保护别人隐私而设定的。”故应选B。

28.B解析：由B中的第一段“Globalenvironmentalproblemsariseoutoftheaccumulatedimpactsfrommanyyears'andmanycountries'economicdevelopment．”可知。

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.C解析：由全文可以推断，要指出犯罪率下降的确切原因是很困难的。

31.B解析：根据第三段和第四段的论述，我们可以得知作者的总体看法，即特别的劳工防护法并没有保护妇女的权益，故B项正确。A项与作者的观点明显相悖，所以不正确。C项从文中不能推知，故不正确。文中没有提到男性工人的保护问题，故D项也不正确。

32.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。

33.B解析：由B中的第四句话“ThenorthernpartoftheTempleiscircularwhilethesouthernpartissquare,”可知。

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