16.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。

17.normalnormal解析：根据上下文可以判断此处句意为“很正常的事情”，因此此处应填“normal”。

18.unlikeunlike解析：根据下文，以日本学生与美国和韩国的作对比，日本的学生不像韩国和美国的学生一样。所以此处应填“unlike”。

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

20.beingbeing解析：avoiddoingsth．意为“避免…”，avoid后必须跟名词或动名词。beovercritical意为“过分挑剔的”。

21.concernconcern解析：“concernfor”表示“对…关心”。所以此处应填“concern”。

22.thosethose解析：文章中提到“16-19岁之间的日本青年跟25-29岁之间的青年对比”，这里缺少代词，替代“Japaneseyouth”。所以此处应填“those”

23.workwork解析：本句意为“我们以前已经尝试过，但是不…。”显然，此空处应填“奏效，起作用”，英语中表达这一含义最地道的词就是work。

24.suchsuch解析：“such…as”用来举例子。所以此处应填“such”。

25.wherewhere解析：此题考查where引导的定语从句，修饰前面提到的plane，trainorbus。所以此处应填关系副词“where”。

26.B解析：talkshop意为“谈公事”。

27.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。

28.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。

29.A解析：由文章第二段“…intheThirdWorldtowardfamilysizeandadawningrealisationthatenvironmentaldegradation…”。

30.B解析：同样，由短文第一段最后一句可知作者提到基因工程和计算机科学就是为了表明新材料对未来世界的重要性。

31.A解析：由第二段最后一句话可知A项正确。B项不能从文中推知。C项文中没有提及。男性工人的健康在法律中是得到考虑了的，故D项不正确。

32.A解析：文章第一句话对用基因疗法治疗Ashanthi所患罕见疾病的成功给与了很高的评价，并在第一段未指出医生们对基因疗法寄予了极高的期望。因此正确答案为A。

33.C解析：由第三段中的“Forthosecompaniesusingtechnology，theperdocumentcostofinformationprocessingisonlyafractio
