16.SometimeSometime解析：通過(guò)對(duì)后面句子的分析，我們可以知道那些想入非非、飄飄欲仙的人有朝一日也是可以“雙腳落地的”，那就是“sharpwordsfromteacher”，所以這里表示的是“有朝一日”，故答案為sometime。

17.boughtbought解析：本句的前一句話說(shuō)“顧客認(rèn)為他們需要一些他們其實(shí)不需要的商品?！边@就是廣告的作用。但是買(mǎi)完之后，“他們卻不知道當(dāng)時(shí)為什么買(mǎi)了這種商品。”這里是被動(dòng)的句式。故答案為bought。

18.itit解析：本句意為“‘污染’意思是弄臟——表層土或什么東西，通過(guò)引進(jìn)雜質(zhì)，這使…不健康或不干凈?！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)指topsoilorsomething，因?yàn)榍懊嬉殉霈F(xiàn)，所以用it來(lái)代替。

19.boughtbought解析：本句的前一句話說(shuō)“顧客認(rèn)為他們需要一些他們其實(shí)不需要的商品?！边@就是廣告的作用。但是買(mǎi)完之后，“他們卻不知道當(dāng)時(shí)為什么買(mǎi)了這種商品?！边@里是被動(dòng)的句式。故答案為bought。

20.suchsuch解析：“poorposture，leaningtoo…tothedesk，using…”均是對(duì)characteristics的舉例說(shuō)明，而舉例用英語(yǔ)說(shuō)應(yīng)為“suchas”。

21.diddid解析：據(jù)38題解析，由于while意為“盡管”，才有后面起強(qiáng)調(diào)作用的did，意為“確實(shí)”，言下之意有轉(zhuǎn)折之意。

22.atat解析：此題考固定搭配，atone'sdisposal，意為“任某人自由支配、使喚”。所以此處應(yīng)填介詞“at”。

23.customercustomer解析：從這個(gè)句子的賓語(yǔ)“…thatheorshehasdoneagoodjobofchoosingtheitems．”可以看出，這里說(shuō)的是顧客的行為，他們認(rèn)為自己買(mǎi)這些商品是很理性的。故答案為customer。

24.ageage解析：此段話均是在比較不同年齡段的人之間寫(xiě)字的不同，故此空應(yīng)填“年齡”。

25.awareaware解析：beawareof，固定搭配，意為“意識(shí)到”。所以此處應(yīng)填“aware”。

26.B解析：由B中的第一段“NewYorkCity，locatedinNewYorkState，isthelargestcityandthechiefportoftheUnitedStates．”可知答案為B。

27.B解析：由第五段可知雖然美國(guó)人聲稱(chēng)自己攝入的卡路里量下降，但這并不是真的，故A項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的。美國(guó)人總是在食物攝入量上撒謊，所以并不能推出他們知道自己吃了多少，故C項(xiàng)不正確。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句話可以知道D項(xiàng)不正確。

28.C解析：由第三段最后一句“Lifeinsuranceisan…isnotsubjecttotaxes，incontrastto
