15.A

16.amongamong解析：此句意为“后一种观点得到了许多支持者，尤其…教育家。”显然，空处应填“在…中”，介词among即有此意。

17.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”。

18.ratherrather解析：此空所在句意为“用四个手指握笔而不是三个。”ratherthan表示“而不是”。

19.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”。

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.toto解析：“shift”意为“转变”，“从…到…的转变”应该用介词“to”。所以此处应填“to”。

22.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”。

23.nono解析：本句话的意思是“那些趾高气扬的人不可能是那些平易近人的人”。这是否定的意思，故答案为no。

24.notnot解析：此空前半句意为“我们真地生活在污染中，呼吸着它”，而后半句意为“它开始…我们的健康、幸福和文明。”显然，这是因果关系，故中间的surprisingly前只能加个否定词not。

25.thatthat解析：此空后的内容为maintain的内容，即此空后的句子为maintain的宾语，应填一个可引导宾语从句的词。

26.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。

27.C解析：瓦萨利在文中第一段说到“VasariexpressedanuneasewithBotticelli'swork，…”说明他的态度是反对的，后来在最后一段中间部分“However,HomearguedthatBotticelli…emphasizedcleardepletionofastory,auniqueachievement…”表明霍姆的态度是肯定的。故应选C。

28.C解析：由C中“‘WillesdenGreenhasadiverserangeofpropertiesfrom1930ssemi-detachedhousestolargeVictorianpropertiesandnew—buildswhichattractallkindsofbuyers’，saysRichardChiti，salesmanageratestateagentsEllisandCo．”可以看出WillesdenGreen是一个文化多样性的城市。所以此处答案为C。

29.A解析：由A中的disadvantage中最后一条内容“Waterqualityandquantitydownstreamcanbeaffected，whichcanhaveanimpactonplantlife．”可知答案为A。

30.A解析：本文谈到青少年自杀问题，自杀显然不会是C、D，故排除。cool也并不是这些孩子自杀的目的，只有A合适。

31.A解析：由A中的第一段“Washington，thecapitaloftheUnitedStates，isinWashingtonD.C.”可知答案为A。

32.A解析：由文章第二段“…intheThirdWorldtowardfamilysizeandadawningrealisationthatenvironmentaldegradation…”。

33.CC解析：上一段中提到的“myth”是有关家庭关系的问题，担心家庭关系会因为老龄化问题而使亲人之间疏远。C中研究中心的伦理学家对这一问题进行了佐证。年长者对家庭需要贡献的角色越来越重要，所以这些担心都是没必要的，可以找到解决措施的。

34.D解析：由D中的advantage内容最后一条“Agoodmethodofsupplyingenergytoremoteareas.”可知答案为D。

35.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
