16.dumpingdumping解析：由本句句意“通過(guò)將污水和化學(xué)物質(zhì)…入河流和湖泊，…”可知，此空處顯然應(yīng)為“倒”。又因?yàn)榻樵~后只能用dumping，而不能用dump。

17.workwork解析：本句意為“我們以前已經(jīng)嘗試過(guò)，但是不…?！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)填“奏效，起作用”，英語(yǔ)中表達(dá)這一含義最地道的詞就是work。

18.bringbring解析：根據(jù)上下文，此處意思為給他們帶來(lái)快樂(lè)。帶來(lái)用動(dòng)詞“bring”。所以此處應(yīng)填“bring”。

19.AsAs解析：此句意為“…后一種觀點(diǎn)的例子，…”顯然，空處應(yīng)填“作為”。

20.firstfirst解析：根據(jù)題意，作者想在這里做一個(gè)比較，而比較的對(duì)象是目的。這里作者僅僅給出了兩個(gè)目的，所以這里是和第一個(gè)目的進(jìn)行比較。故答案為first。

21.areare解析：分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)，這里缺少系動(dòng)詞be來(lái)構(gòu)成動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)形式。故答案為are。

22.InsteadInstead解析：由本句句意“…修一臺(tái)烤箱或一臺(tái)收音機(jī)，買一臺(tái)新的、扔掉舊的更容易、更便宜…”可知，肯定是“不修”，又因?yàn)橛薪樵~of，所以應(yīng)填intead。insteadof意為“不做某事”，是固定短語(yǔ)。

23.useuse解析：后面的一句話“Theexpressionis‘both-feet-on-the-ground.”表示down-to-earth的另一種表達(dá)方法是both-feet-on-the-ground。而后一種說(shuō)法是美國(guó)人的用法，常常被美國(guó)人使用。故答案為use。

24.wasw
