15.A

16.workwork解析：本句意为“我们以前已经尝试过，但是不…。”显然，此空处应填“奏效，起作用”，英语中表达这一含义最地道的词就是work。

17.AsAs解析：此句意为“…后一种观点的例子，…”显然，空处应填“作为”。

18.creativitycreativity解析：本文是在讲述报酬、表扬与创造性的关系，此句意为“但是小心地使用小量的金钱报酬能激起分级学校孩子们的…”显然，空处应填“创造性”。

19.themthem解析：本题考查代词的用法，根据上下文，此处句意为“人们使用这些小玩意儿。”上文已经提到gadgets，所以这里用代词“them”代替。

20.muchmuch解析：参见43题解析。显然，此空处应为“太多的”。

21.InsteadInstead解析：由本句句意“…修一台烤箱或一台收音机，买一台新的、扔掉旧的更容易、更便宜…”可知，肯定是“不修”，又因为有介词of，所以应填intead。insteadof意为“不做某事”，是固定短语。

22.dodo解析：答案为do。

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

24.whosewhose解析：此句意为“StephanieThomas，一位学习辅导老师，…发现已经发表了…。”由此可知，空处所填单词必为whose，引导定语从句，
