14.Aneighbor．

15.Manyweeks．

16.lessless解析：由此空前面的“deterioratedsharply”可知此空应填“更少的”，而不是“更多的”。

17.populationpopulation解析：由下一句“越来越多的人正在制造更多的垃圾。”可知，此处应指“膨胀的人口”，即explodingpopulation。

18.asas解析：thinkofsth．assth．为固定短语，意为“把某物想成某物”。

19.rewardreward解析：通篇文章均是在讲报酬与创造性的关系，此句意为“如果孩子们知道他们在为…工作，…。”显然，此空处应填“报酬”。

20.whatwhat解析：这句话的意思是“这就是商家和卖者希望顾客们做的事情”，what引导的是一个表语从句，故答案为what。

21.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。

22.whosewhose解析：这是一个后置定语从句，用whose来引导，表示mind与dreamer的所属关系。故答案为whose。

23.foundfound解析：此句意为“1，000名受访者中有70％的发现，相对于其他设备来说，在使用手机时人们表现出最差的礼仪”，所以答案为“found”。

24.beingbeing解析：avoiddoingsth．意为“避免…”，avoid后必须跟名词或动名词。beovercritical意为“过分挑剔的”。

25.alsoalso解析：由35题解析，拼写有问题的学生必定握笔习惯不好。

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

27.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。

28.C解析：由C中“It'spopularbecauseitisstillaffordable，althoughpriceshaverocketed
