15.Intreetrunk/Underneatharock．

16.tastetaste解析：本句意為“我們看得見它，聞得見它，…它，喝它，而且在它中間掙扎?！庇沙ＷR可知，此空處只有一個“嘗”較合適。

17.whichwhich解析：“聲譽建立的基礎”英語表達為“thefoundationonwhichreputationsarebuilt”，which指代foundations。

18.useuse解析：后面的一句話"Theexpressionis‘both-feet-on-the-ground．’”表示down-to-earth的另一種表達方法是both-feet-on-the-ground。而后一種說法是美國人的用法，常常被美國人使用。故答案為use。

19.stillstill解析：本句意為“但是空氣污染，盡管它…是最危險的，但也只是幾種攻擊最基本生活功能的污染方式之一?！憋@然，可知此空應填“仍然”。

20.WhenWhen解析：這里的一句話其實與下一半句“whenwearedown-to-earth，…”所起到的作用是一樣的，同時兩者也是并列的，when表達了“當…”，所以這里填when。故答案為when。

21.whatwhat解析：此題考查what引導的賓語從句。要注意分析句子中的成分，此空為listento后的賓語。所以此處應填引導詞“what”。

22.bringbring解析：根據(jù)上下文，此處意思為給他們帶來快樂。帶來用動詞“bring”。所以此處應填“bring”。

23.normalnormal解析：根據(jù)上下文可以判斷此處句意為“很正常的事情”，因此此處應填“normal”。

24.callscalls解析：此句意為“他把這種缺乏禮節(jié)的行為稱作是一種無意識的無禮”。call+雙賓語結構，以為“把…稱為”，所以此處填“calls”。

25.thoughthough解析：本句話的意思是“盡管知道顧客們可能不知道自己為什么買了這些商品，但是賣家卻知道怎么去做?！惫蚀鸢笧閠hough。

26.D解析：此題問技術員的回答如何。文章中“ButIdoneedit．”“Yes．butyoudon’thaveit．”Wewentonlikethisforawhile．Finally，heofferedtowalkmethrough…可以看出“技術員最后是在敷衍作者，沒有提出一個
