15.InNorthernEurope

16.firstfirst解析：根据题意，作者想在这里做一个比较，而比较的对象是目的。这里作者仅仅给出了两个目的，所以这里是和第一个目的进行比较。故答案为first。

17.thosethose解析：文章中提到“16-19岁之间的日本青年跟25-29岁之间的青年对比”，这里缺少代词，替代“Japaneseyouth”。所以此处应填“those”

18.somesome解析：关键是注意and前后一致。“somerationaland…emotional”，前面说促使顾客购买的动机有很多，有的是理性的，有的却是冲动。所以这里应该是some。故答案为some。

19.personperson解析：本句话的意思是“与此相反的一类人是那些想入非非的人。”根据上下文的要求这里应该填入man的同义词。故答案为person。

20.threatenthreaten解析：由33题解析可以知道此空一定为“威胁”之意。

21.suchsuch解析：“such…as”用来举例子。所以此处应填“such”。

22.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”。

23.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”。

24.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”。

25.pollpoll解析：此句意为“Synovate市场研发公司的调查显示”，poll的意思为“民意调查”。因此答案为“poll”。

26.D解析：由D中的第一段“…ithasahistoryofmorethan1，300”可知。

27.C解析：选项A即心理学家已经放弃，而生物学家正在展开研究工作。而文中第三句话说“Psychologistsviewthesubjecteitherasamatteroffrustrationorajoke．”即心理学家认为这个研究不是一件沮丧的事，就是一个笑话，此句和选项A含义不一样。选项B即大脑区别显示出一个性别优于另外一个性别。而文中第一段最后一句话说“Butbeingdifferent，theypointouthurriedly，isnotthesameasbeingbetterorworse．”即他们指出尽管有区别，但并不能说明谁优谁劣，此句和选项B含义不一样。选项D两性大脑结构的区别早已为人所知。而文中第三段第三句话说“Thisisthefirsttimethatastructuraldifferencehasbeenfoundbetweenthebrainsofwomenandmen…”即这是第一次人们发现了两性大脑结构的不同，此句和选项D含义不一样。所以本题应选C。

28.C解析：由全文的语气来看，均是在解释、阐述事情，而不是descriptive或narrative，更不是critic。

29.DD解析：由上一段最后一句可知，只有D放在此处才能连贯，D为上一段最后一句的举例。

30.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。

31.B解析：从文章的第三段可以看出，“H
