15.One．

16.farfar解析：能修飾too的副詞只有far或much。

17.airair解析：由前面的smog可知，此空處應(yīng)填與smog相應(yīng)的物質(zhì)，又由后面的“hoversovercities”可知，此物質(zhì)只能是“臟空氣”。

18.concernconcern解析：“concernfor”表示“對…關(guān)心”。所以此處應(yīng)填“concern”。

19.takestakes解析：要注意時態(tài)，這里意為“占據(jù)”，所以所以此處應(yīng)填“takes”。

20.butbut解析：此句意為“30歲的人表現(xiàn)出非常不同的握筆方式，…超過40歲的人都統(tǒng)一用三個手指握筆?！憋@然，此空處表轉(zhuǎn)折。

21.toto解析：besubjectedto為固定搭配，“使遭受，使服從”的意思，要學(xué)會跨過其他成分尋找主干。所以此處應(yīng)填介詞“to”。

22.waswas解析：此空顯然應(yīng)是句子的謂語成分，應(yīng)填動詞的過去式。

23.pollpoll解析：此句意為“Synovate市場研發(fā)公司的調(diào)查顯示”，poll的意思為“民意調(diào)查”。因此答案為“poll”。

24.toto解析：revertto意為“重想，重提”，此句意為“如果你經(jīng)常提到‘我們以前已經(jīng)試著這樣做了，但是不管用’就會很快地挫傷這種好問的頭腦”。

25.toto解析：“incontrastto”為固定搭配，意為“與…相對比”。所以此處應(yīng)填“to”。

26.CC解析：上一段中提到的“myth”是有關(guān)家庭關(guān)系的問題，擔(dān)心家庭關(guān)系會因?yàn)槔淆g化問題而使親人之間疏遠(yuǎn)。C中研究中心的倫理學(xué)家對這一問題進(jìn)行了佐證。年長者對家庭需要貢獻(xiàn)的角色越來越重要，所以這些擔(dān)心都是沒必要的，可以找到解決措施的。

27.B解析：對于婦女的慣常思維沒有因?yàn)榉啥兓?，所以A項(xiàng)不正確。根據(jù)第二段第一句話可知B項(xiàng)正確。從常識判斷，雇主是不會主動提出提高婦女權(quán)益保護(hù)的，所以他們的保護(hù)不會比立法前多，故C項(xiàng)是不正確的。D項(xiàng)從文中不能推斷出。

28.A解析：由A中的第二段“…toillustratehowenvironmentalqualitycanbeincludedformallyinmeasuresofnationalincome，socialwelfareandsustalnability．”可知。

29.C解析：由全文的語氣來看，均是在解釋、闡述事情，而不是descriptive或narrative，更不是critic。

30.A解析：“Comparisonofthesignificanceoftwoeconomicbooks”含有對兩本經(jīng)濟(jì)書的對比信息的，我們可以看出四個書評中只有A．中提到了兩本書之間的關(guān)系。所以本題應(yīng)選A。

31.CC解析：由此空上幾段看，均是在講述Louis-Dreyfus的事，而下一段則提到另一個人MichaelMichalsky，故此空應(yīng)為C，因?yàn)镃中講述的仍是Louis-Dreyfus的事。

32.C解
