16.whosewhose解析：此句意为“StephanieThomas，一位学习辅导老师，…发现已经发表了…。”由此可知，空处所填单词必为whose，引导定语从句，修饰teacher。

17.toto解析：“attributeto”意为“把某事归因于”，为固定搭配，所以此处应填“to”。

18.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。

20.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，…。”

21.accordingaccording解析：accordingto为“依据”，为固定短语，意为“根据美国的民意调查”。所以此处填according。

27.A解析：第六段中男主人看到清理垃圾的车，误以为是Mickey来了，正要出去澄清误会，把上次的小费补上，却遭到了回收员的蔑视，所以他感到澄清误会的机会是很渺茫了，对于假期小费的事情他已经绝望了。因此正确答案为A。

28.A解析：文章第三段提到“TheAmericanideaofthenationalgoodhasneverbeenbasedonnationalcooperationbutratheronthefreedomoftheindividual,…．”这说明美国的国家利益不是建立在全民合作基础之上的，相反，这种基础是个人的自由。故应选A。
