14.TheEuropeans．

15.C

16.tastetaste解析：本句意为“我们看得见它，闻得见它，…它，喝它，而且在它中间挣扎。”由常识可知，此空处只有一个“尝”较合适。

17.dumpingdumping解析：由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质…入河流和湖泊，…”可知，此空处显然应为“倒”。又因为介词后只能用dumping，而不能用dump。

18.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”

19.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。

20.toto解析：revertto意为“重想，重提”，此句意为“如果你经常提到‘我们以前已经试着这样做了，但是不管用’就会很快地挫伤这种好问的头脑”。

21.dumpingdumping解析：由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质…人河流和湖泊，…”可知，此空处显然应为“倒”。又因为介词后只能用dumping，而不能用dump。

22.thatthat解析：此空后面的句子为suggesting的内容，即应为其宾语从句，所以此空处应填引导宾语从句的词，即that。

23.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。

24.dividedivide解析：根据上下文语境，这里是“分为”，divide…upinto意为“把…划分为”。所以此处应填动词“divide”。

25.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”。

26.A解析：由文章第四段中的“Anotherfamousexampleistheelectrical．Thisfishgivesanevenmorepowerfulshock．”可知。

27.A解析：由短文第二段中的“Ceramics，florinstance，havelongbeenlimitedbytheirbrittleness．”。

28.D解析：由短文第二段中的“…showedthatthosewithnormalbloodpressureunderwentnochangeatallwhenplacedonanextremelylow—saltdiet，…”可知。

29.A解析：由A中第二段第一句“Intheseniorschool，two-thirdsofthepupilsareboarders，andboardingisavailablefromtheageof11．”可知。

30.A解析：由A中advantage第一句话“Hydro-electricpowerstationscanincreasetofullpowerveryquickly，unlikeotherpowerstations.”可知答案为A。

31.D解析：由短文第一句“Opinionpollsarenowbeginningtoshowthat，whoeveristoblameandwhateverhappensfromnowon，highunemploymentisprobablyheretostay．”可知。

32.AA解析：由此空的上下两段可以得到答案。上段说的如何去看人的两种方法，而后面的一段接着说的地点问题。所以这里的“dependingonwherethemeetingtakesplace．”符合句意，故应选A。

33.B解析：由短文第三段第一句“Incometaxesarethemainsourceoffederalrevenues．”。

34.FF解析：后面的一段说明了相反的情况。“Thepersonwearingtheglasses…”与选项中的“…twopeoplewearsdarkglasses”相对应，故应选F。

35.B解析：由B中的第四句话“ThenorthernpartoftheTempleiscircularwhilethesouthernpartissq
