16.happinesshappiness解析：根據(jù)上下文，日本年輕人更看重追求個人的幸福。所以此處應填“happiness”。

17.whichwhich解析：此空后的句子應為定語從句，修飾“tokeneconomies”，故此空應填一個可引導定語從句的詞，而且前面可加介詞in。

18.waswas解析：此空顯然應是句子的謂語成分，應填動詞的過去式。

19.ofof解析：“對現(xiàn)實的了解”的英文表達是“theunderstandingofreality”，這里的介詞用of。故答案為of。

20.onon解析：“…的決定”英語表達為“decisiononsth．”這里介詞需要用on。故答案為on。

21.lookinglooking解析：與介詞for的固定搭配，意為“尋求…”，這里指的是尋求新的價值觀。所以此處應填“l(fā)ooking”。

22.fromfrom解析：keepsth．fromdoingsth：意為“防止某事…”，為固定短語。

23.workwork解析：根據(jù)上文，對比的是對工作的態(tài)度，所以此處應填“work”。

24.whichwhich解析：由37題解析可知此空應為一個引導定語從句的詞，即which，其后的定語修飾“several(typesofcontamination)”。

25.beingbeing解析：avoiddoingsth．意為“避免…”，avoid后必須跟名詞或動名詞。beovercritical意為“過分挑剔的”。

26.A解析：“Itwaslikeofferingtodropasafeonmyheadtocuremyheadache．”意為“就像給我提供一個保險箱放我頭上來治愈我的頭痛一樣?！焙钪S刺地說技術員提供的建議不可采取。所以本題應選A。

27.B解析：文章第二段一開頭就說：“It'snotentirelyclearwhymedicinehasbeensoslowtobuildonAnderson’searlysuccess．”從時間上來看，Anderson采用基因療法的成功嘗試已經(jīng)是1990年的事情了，兩相對照，可見他的成功沒有讓醫(yī)學加速發(fā)展。因此正確答案為B。

28.D解析：書評一中的“…h(huán)eignoressomekeyargumentsinfavorofthemarket…”，書評二中的“Whilepartsofthisbookaredisappointinglyshallow…”，書評三種的“Stiglitz，58，ishardlythefirstpersontoaccusetheIMF…”都有提到Stiglitz的一些負面的消息。所以本題應選D。

29.A解析：由第四段最后兩句話可知，基因并不能決定一切，因此減肥不會因為肥胖基
