16.rationalrational解析：从文章的后面可以知道，顾客们已经要结算了，认为都买了该买的商品。但是售货员在他们等着付账的过程中巧妙的利用顾客们的购物冲动向他们推销，而不是理性购物。故答案为rational。

17.FortunatelyFortunately解析：由本句句意“…可以看到有解决办法的希望了。”可知，此空应填“幸运的是”。

18.ofof解析：deprivesb．ofsth．为固定短语，意为“剥夺某人的某东西(或某权利)”。

19.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。

20.WhenWhen解析：这里的一句话其实与下一半“whenwearedown-to-earth…．”所起到的作用是一样的，同时两者也是并列的，when表达了“当…”，所以这里填when。故答案为when。

21.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。

22.readyready解析：顾客来到结算处，说明他们准备好了要付账。bereadyto的意思是“准备好了做某事”。故答案为ready。

23.awareaware解析：beawareof，固定搭配，意为“意识到”。所以此处应填“aware”。

24.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，…。”

25.knowledgeknowledge解析：前面讲商家正确的分析市场的供需信息，知道是什么因素影响顾客的购买欲望。这就是他们利用的信息知识。故答案为knowledge。

26.C解析：文章第三段指出“ItisfarmoredifficultforA
