15.C

16.butbut解析：这里表达的前后句意是一种转折关系。前面说“hemayhavedreams，”而后面“hedoesnotallowthemtoblockhisknowledge…”的意思却是“但是他也不会让这些梦想阻挡自己对什么是现实的理解。”故答案为but。

17.poorpoor解析：此句意为“但是很容易通过给…表现报酬或创造对报酬太…的期望而扼杀创造性。”显然，此空处应填“劣拙的，不好的”。

18.rewardreward解析：通篇文章均是在讲报酬与创造性的关系，此句意为“如果孩子们知道他们在为…工作，…。”显然，此空处应填“报酬”。

19.werewere解析：考查被动语态的用法，注意分析句子成分。所以此处应填“were”。

20.ofof解析：deprivesb．ofsth．为固定短语，意为“剥夺某人的某东西(或某权利)”。

21.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。

22.importantimportant解析：从本句后面的一句话可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson就算是重要的人物，他们也不会把这种显赫写在脸上。所以前面应填important。故答案为important.

23.asas解析：such…as意为“这样的…如”。此空后为并列的三个分词短语，即“如”后跟的例举事项。

24.waswas解析：此空显然应是句子的谓语成分，应填动词的过去式。

25.rationalrational解析：从文章的后面可以知道，顾客们已经要结算了，认为都买了该买的商品。但是售货员在他们等着付账的过程中巧妙的利用顾客们的购物冲动向他们推销，而不是理性购物。故答案为rational。

26.D解析：第四段提到基因疗法遭受的一起挫折——一个病人因接受基因疗法而死亡；接着讲专家担心运动员利用基因在比赛中作弊会进一步tarnish这一领域，从上下文逻辑推理，应该是“有损，玷污”这一类的意思，因此正确答案为D。

27.D解析：在第三段中女主人公意识到也许在四点的服务的原因是经过精心策划的而不是随意粗鲁的习惯，假期小费从随意的一句谢谢发展成为黑社会的保护勒索，所以作者是被迫的给假期小费的。因此正确答案为D。

28.C解析：由C中倒数第二段中的“GNVQinbusinessstudiesandhealthandsocialcareprovidesanalternativevocationalpathwayto…”可知。

29.BB解析：该空缺之前讲的是毒藤的过敏反应是滞后的，不是马上产生的。接下来的相关信息是不同的人敏感度不一样，过敏反应发生的时间也会不一样。所以本题应选B。

30.DD解析：此处的上面提到了两个问题，而选项D中也对两个问题做出了相应的解释。故应选D。

31.D解析：由文章第四段可
