15.Thestagecoach

16.youngyoung解析：本文均是在讲年轻的脑力工作者，故此空所应填的用于修饰“collegegraduates”的词也应是“年轻的”。

17.asas解析：thinkofsth．assth．为固定短语，意为“把某物想成某物”。

18.paperpaper解析：由前一句“…arenowpaperthrowaways．”可知，“不久以后我们将穿由纸制作的衣服。”

19.callscalls解析：此句意为“他把这种缺乏礼节的行为称作是一种无意识的无礼”。call+双宾语结构，以为“把…称为”，所以此处填“calls”。

20.worseworse解析：“the+比较级，the+比较级”，意为“越…越…，”根据上下文，本句句意为“身边的小玩意儿越多，事情似乎就会变得越糟糕。”所以此处应填“worse”。

21.complycomply解析：此处句意为“他们会很懊恼的服从”，表示服从，遵从的短语是complywith。所以此处应填“comply”。

22.boughtbought解析：本句的前一句话说“顾客认为他们需要一些他们其实不需要的商品。”这就是广告的作用。但是买完之后，“他们却不知道当时为什么买了这种商品。”这里是被动的句式。故答案为bought。

23.whowho解析：此空后的句子显然为定语从句，修饰“Behaviorists”，所以应填一个who，引导修饰人的定语从句。

24.airair解析：由前面的smog可知，此空处应填与smog相应的物质，又由后面的“hoversovercities”可知，此物质只能是“脏空气”。

25.onon解析：“…的决定”英语表达为“decisiononsth．”这里介词需要用on。故答案为on。

26.EE解析：由此空上段的最后一句话“Eachwillveerslightlyandthepassingisdonesmoothly．”可知，当两人接近时应该慢慢的把目光转向别的地方。而后面的一段接着说“thissignal”，也就是选项中的“Itrustyou．Iamnotafraidofyou．”故此处应选E。

27.D解析：fib意为“撒小谎”。

28.B解析：由B可以看出，该所学校并不提供奖学金。

29.A解析：由全文看，作者支持的一种观点是“为所有人创造工作机会是不可能的”。

30.C解析：原文对应信息是：“Traditionalscholarships，academicorathletic，arestillapartofmanyfamilies’planning．”意为“许多家庭还在依赖传统的奖学金，不管是学习上的还是体育上的。”所以本题应选C。

31.AA解析：第二个“myth”是担心人口老龄化会使工作人员越来越少。研究中心人员提出应该给年长的人提供各种培训机会。A中“Ourstudiesshowthattherearebenefitsfromhavinganage-integratedworkforce．”说“研究表明不同年龄段的劳动力的融合也会有许多好处”。

32.A解析：由A中“Theunpopulararchitecturehas
