15.Howpeoplebehave

16.andand解析：“both…and…”为固定搭配，“两者都”。所以此处应填“and”。

17.boughtbought解析：本句的前一句话说“顾客认为他们需要一些他们其实不需要的商品。”这就是广告的作用。但是买完之后，“他们却不知道当时为什么买了这种商品。”这里是被动的句式。故答案为bought。

18.knowledgeknowledge解析：前面讲商家正确的分析市场的供需信息，知道是什么因素影响顾客的购买欲望。这就是他们利用的信息知识。故答案为knowledge。

19.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。放答案为display。

20.diddid解析：据38题解析，由于while意为“尽管”，才有后面起强调作用的did，意为“确实”，言下之意有转折之意。

21.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”。

22.customercustomer解析：从这个句子的宾语“…thatheorshehasdoneagoodjobofchoosingtheitems．”可以看出，这里说的是顾客的行为，他们认为自己买这些商品是很理性的。故答案为customer。

23.disposedispose解析：由前一句“但是这个问题因为我们的“一次性”技术而加剧了。”可知，此处应为“丢掉，扔掉”之意，即disposeof。

24.stillstill解析：本句意为“但是空气污染，尽管它…是最危险的，但也只是几种攻击最基本生活功能的污染方式之一。”显然，可知此空应填“仍然”。

25.referencereference解析：这三个分词短语意为“执行日常运算、挖掘…材料、操作再生产设备”。显然，“参考材料”最合适。

26.B解析：由B中的第一段“NewYorkCity，locatedinNewYorkState．isthelargestcityandthechiefportoftheUnitedStates．”可知答案为B。

27.D解析：文章的第一段最后一句话“Evenwhenanti-academicarthistorians．．．，Botticelli’sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste…．”，就算当时很多正统的艺术风格被批判，波提切利的作品也没有引起重视，认为他的作品不随人们的口味，既满足不了专业人士的品位，也不能满足业余人士的欣赏要求。这里的undervalue的意思是“低估，没有重视”，故应选D。

28.AA解析：由上下两段可知，只有A放在此处可以使上下文衔接，意思顺畅。

29.DD解析：由上下两段综合分析，只有D放在此处符合逻辑。

30.A解析：从文章最后一句话“BecauseofHome’semphasiscrucialtoanystudyofart，thetwentiethcenturyhascometoappreciateBotticelli’sachievements．”可以看出，作者认为波提切利的作品在二十一世纪会被重新的认识，人们会重新认识他作品的成就。故应选A。

31.A解析：由第三段中所举的GTE的例子可知“efficienttechnologyiscost-effective”。

32.A解析：“这些区别”指的是什么?短文第五段主题句说“Butitisn'tallthateasytoexplaintheactualdifferencesbetweenskillsofmenandwomenonthisbasis．”即在此基础上解释两性技能的区别并不是很容易的事。由此可见，“这些区别”指的是两性技能。所以本题应选A。

33.B解析：由B中的第一段“Globalenvironmentalproblemsariseoutoftheaccumulatedimpactsfrommanyyears'andmanycountries'economicdevelopment．”可知。

34.A解析：由全文看，作者支持的一种观点是“为所有人创造工作机会是不可能的”。

35.B解析：有关商业方面的报道都是对Stiglitz的论点的支持信息。“…especiallywhenthebusinesspageisfullof
