15.B

16.onon解析：dependenceon意為“依賴，依靠”，是固定短語。

17.dodo解析：解析見上題，為了避免與前面的know重復(fù)，這里可以換做do。故答案為do。

18.amongamong解析：此句意為“后一種觀點(diǎn)得到了許多支持者，尤其…教育家?！憋@然，空處應(yīng)填“在…中”，介詞among即有此意。

19.threatenthreaten解析：由33題解析可以知道此空一定為“威脅”之意。

20.thatthat解析：此空之后的內(nèi)容為suggests的內(nèi)容，即此處應(yīng)填that，引導(dǎo)賓語從句。

21.worseworse解析：“the+比較級，the+比較級”，意為“越…越…，”根據(jù)上下文，本句句意為“身邊的小玩意兒越多，事情似乎就會變得越糟糕?！彼源颂帒?yīng)填“worse”。

22.oppositeopposite解析：從文章第二段的內(nèi)容可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson和那些表面上裝的很重要的人物正好相反。所以這里應(yīng)填“相反的”，故答案為opposite。

23.ofof解析：“對現(xiàn)實(shí)的了解”的英文表達(dá)是“theunderstandingofreality”，這里的介詞用of。故答案為of。

24.whichwhich解析：由此句句子成分分析，此空以后的應(yīng)為定語從句，修飾characteristics，所以此空應(yīng)填which，引導(dǎo)定語從句。

25.youngyoung解析：本文均是在講年輕的腦力工作者，故此空所應(yīng)填的用于修飾“collegegraduates”的詞也應(yīng)是“年輕的”。

26.A解析：由第二段最后一句話可知A項(xiàng)正確。B項(xiàng)不能從文中推知。C項(xiàng)文中沒有提及。男性工人的健康在法律中是得到考慮了的，故D項(xiàng)不正確。

27.FF解析：由此空上下文可以看出，選項(xiàng)中只有F放在此處符合邏輯，上下文才能連貫。

28.D解析：由本文第二段可知A、B、C均正確，只有D不對。

29.B解析：由B中的第一段“…andglobal
