Let'stalkaboutthedietinEurope500yearsago.Oneimportantfoodwasmeat.Europeansatemanykindsofmeat,includingbeef,lamb,goat,andpork.Europeansalsoatedairyproducts,milkandcheesemadefromthemilkofcowsandgoats.TheEuropeansateseveraldifferentgrains:Mostpeopleatewheat,andsomepeopleaterice,whichcamefirstfromAsia.

15.Manyweeks

16.bringbring解析：根据上下文，此处意思为给他们带来快乐。带来用动词“bring”。所以此处应填“bring”。

17.towardtoward解析：作者要表达的意思是“我怎么才能对别人诚实。”英语中表达“对某人…”一般是用介词toward。故答案为toward。

18.dodo解析：解析见上题，为了避免与前面的know重复，这里可以换做do。故答案为do。

19.toto解析：“incontrastto”为固定搭配，意为“与…相对比”。所以此处应填“to”。

20.accordingaccording解析：accordingto意为“根据”，为固定短语，本句句意为“根据对…的严格调查，…。”

21.purposepurpose解析：从文中的第一句话“Themostobviouspurpose…”可以看出后面还有别的目的，而不是仅仅有最明显的目的。故答案为purpose。

22.SometimeSometime解析：通过对后面句子的分析，我们可以知道那些想入非非、飘飘欲仙的人有朝一日也是可以“双脚落地的”，那就是“sharpwordsfromteacher”，所以这里表示的是“有朝一日”，故答案为sometime。

23.likelylikely解析：前面所说的thepersonwhoisdown-to-earth与thepersonwhosebothfeetontheground大体是一类人，所以这里表达的意思是“很有可能就是一类人”。belikelytodo就表达了这种意思。故答案为likely。

24.betweenbetween解析：此句意为“Thomas先生尽管不能在握笔方式和拼写准确性之间建立重要的统计学联系，…”所以答案为介词between。

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.A解析：由第三段中所举的GTE的例子可知“efficienttechnologyiscost-effective”。

27.B解析：由短文第四段第一句“…the17thand18thcenturiesmademanypeopledependentonpaidworkbydeprivingthemoftheuseoftheland…．”可知。

28.B解析：文章第三段最后两句话“Moreover，itbecomesunworkable…theInternetdoesnotknowgeographicboundaries，andcompaniesandindividualscannotbeexpectedtocomplywithdiffering，andattimesconflicting，privacyrules
