14.D

15.Andsoon./Andsoforth

16.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”。

17.fastfast解析：由上一句句意“不耐心代表了年轻的脑力工作者们的特点。”可知，本句“他们想…成名”中的空处应填“快速地”。

18.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。

19.productionproduction解析：从前一句话“Themanufacturersgobeyondonlytellingconsumersabouttheirproducts．”可以看出，一方面广告要介绍自己的产品，而第二个目的就是卖掉自己的产品。所以这里作者想要表达的意思是“广告要使得顾客有一种购买的欲望去购买自己的产品。”故答案为production。

20.fromfrom解析：“来自…的数据”，要用介词“from”。所以此处应填“from”。

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

22.gradesgrades解析：此句意为“…他指出在主要大学里关控制评分标准及恢复不及格…的努力。”显然，此空处应填“分数”。

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.forfor解析：解析见上题。desire后面用介词for。故答案为for，表示“…的欲望”。

25.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。

26.D解析：由短文最后一段中的“Butnewmaterialshavenoimpactuntiltheyaremadeintoproducts…willdeterminethesuc
