15.A

16.dailydaily解析：此句意為“但是不要使他們的…工作僅僅成為一長(zhǎng)串令人心煩的差使?！憋@然，此空應(yīng)填“每日的，日常的”。

17.differencedifference解析：顯然，這句話是在對(duì)老年人和年輕人寫字之間進(jìn)行比較，而且由后半句中的"getbetterat…”可知，此空必為“不同的”。

18.SometimeSometime解析：通過對(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。

19.olderolder解析：grow只能是年齡越來越大。

20.boughtbought解析：本句的前一句話說“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。但是買完之后，“他們卻不知道當(dāng)時(shí)為什么買了這種商品?！边@里是被動(dòng)的句式。故答案為bought。

21.whowho解析：此空后的句子應(yīng)為teacher的定語從句，故此空處應(yīng)填who，引導(dǎo)修飾人的定語從句。

22.thosethose解析：文章中提到“16-19歲之間的日本青年跟25-29歲之間的青年對(duì)比”，這里缺少代詞，替代“Japaneseyouth”。所以此處應(yīng)填“those”

23.itit解析：本句意為“‘污染’意思是弄臟——表層土或什么東西，通過引進(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來代替。

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

25.thethe解析：此處缺冠詞，在年輕人之間，用the表示特指。所以此處應(yīng)填“the”。

26.C解析：文章第二段對(duì)于基因治療的方式的解釋是用于治療的基因通過“virusesthatdon'tcausehumandisease”進(jìn)入體內(nèi)，就好像“特洛伊木馬”一樣，由此可見，這些病毒是無害的。因此正確答案為C。

27.B解析：書評(píng)二中提到許多經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家，甚至布什政府的官員都贊成Sfiglitz的論點(diǎn)，認(rèn)為“economicchangeinthedevelopingworldmustevolvemorewithlocalconditions”。所以本題應(yīng)選B。

28.D解析：文章最后一段指出，“Congressshouldpasslegislation…，allowcustomerstooptoutofsuchdatacollection．a(chǎn)nd…．”，意思就是說國(guó)會(huì)應(yīng)該要求網(wǎng)站公示收集用戶隱私信息的政策，通過何種方式收集的，告訴用戶怎么才能避開這些信息收集以及怎么查閱所收集的信息等等內(nèi)容。optout的意思是“避開、避免”。故應(yīng)選D。

29.B解析：由B中的disadvantage中“Althoughnotmuchwasteisproduced，itisvery，verydangerous．Itmustbesealedupandburiedformanyyearstoallowtheradioactivitytodieaway．”可知答案為B。

30.A解析：由文章第四段中的“Anotherfamousexampleistheelectrical．Thisfishgivesanevenmorepowerfulshock．”可知。

31.FF解析：從后面的first，second等字眼可以看出答案為F，因?yàn)檫x項(xiàng)中的“This,ofcourse,willintroducetwovitalsetsofproblem-isalreadyintroducingthem.”相對(duì)應(yīng)。故應(yīng)選F。

32.B解析：由第四段中的“Thehorsesarelessaffectedthanamanwouldbe，andwhentheelectrice
