16.toto解析：talkto的意思是“和某人聊天”，talk這里不及物動詞，后面需要接一個介詞。在從句中介詞不能省略。作者這里要表達(dá)的意思是“和那些誠實的平易近人的人聊天是很愜意的?！惫蚀鸢笧閠o。

17.oftenoften解析：本句話的意思是“那些自我感覺很了不起、內(nèi)心充滿驕傲的人，總是不需要理由的就被人認(rèn)為是趾高氣揚的人。”故這里答案為often。

18.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”，言下之意有轉(zhuǎn)折之意。

19.amongamong解析：此句意為“后一種觀點得到了許多支持者，尤其…教育家?！憋@然，空處應(yīng)填“在…中”，介詞among即有此意。

20.olderolder解析：grow只能是年齡越來越大。

21.reasonsreasons解析：本段的第一句話提出問題，問為什么在結(jié)算處擺設(shè)了那么多的商品。很明顯，后面的文章對這個問題進(jìn)行回答，并列舉了原因。故答案為reasons。

22.accordingaccording解析：此句意為“…一項個性與社會心理學(xué)的六月雜志的研究?！憋@然，空處應(yīng)填“根據(jù)”。

23.whatwhat解析：顯然，此空后的句子應(yīng)為"obscure”的賓語從句，而“isbeingwritten”中缺主語，可做主句的賓語、從句的主語的只有what。

24.poorpoor解析：此句意為“但是很容易通過給…表現(xiàn)報酬或創(chuàng)造對報酬太…的期望而扼殺創(chuàng)造性。”顯然，此空處應(yīng)填“劣拙的，不好的”。

25.andand解析：這三個分詞短語是并列的，故中間的連詞只能用and。

26.B解析：第一段中，作者說自己想保存文件，但是光標(biāo)不動了，死機(jī)了。只有把電池拔出強(qiáng)行關(guān)機(jī)，所以排除A，D。C中說電腦拒絕工作，不合題意。所以本題應(yīng)選
