15.B

16.suchsuch解析：“poorposture，leaningtoo…tothedesk，using…”均是对characteristics的举例说明，而举例用英语说应为“suchas”。

17.someonesomeone解析：由本文的第一句话“‘Down-to-earth’meanssomeoneorsomethingthatishonest，realisticandeasytodealwith.”可知“Down-to-earth”指的是诚实，现实、平易近人的那些人。这里的someone和后面是相对应的。故答案为someone。

18.displaydisplay解析：这里要回应本段第一句话中的“displayed”。在出口结算处展示的这些小商品无疑是一种诱惑。这里需要用名词形式。故答案为display。

19.bringbring解析：通过前一句话“suchadreamerCanbebroughtbacktoearth．”中的brought可以知道，这里应该填bring，表示“把…带到”。故答案为bring。

20.betweenbetween解析：“…relation…actionsandtheirconsequences”意为“…行动和它们的结果…关系”，空处显然缺“之间”。

21.somesome解析：这里需要填写的是商品的名称，就是说摆在出口结算处的那些小商品。泛指时用some。故答案为some。

22.atat解析：某大学的教授，应为“aprofessorat…university”，所以答案为介词“at”。

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

24.especiallyespecially解析：“Around1980manyJapanese，——youngpeople…”，“1980年左右许多日本人，尤其是年轻人…”，所以此处应填“especially”。

25.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”。

26.C解析：由C中的第二段“Itisnowconsideredthecenterofindustry，transportation，commerceandfinanceinthemid-westarea．”可知答案为C。
