15.Thecompleteanswers

16.oftenoften解析：本句话的意思是“那些自我感觉很了不起、内心充满骄傲的人，总是不需要理由的就被人认为是趾高气扬的人。”故这里答案为often。

17.whichwhich解析：“声誉建立的基础”英语表达为“thefoundationonwhichreputationsarebuilt”，which指代foundations。

18.againstagainst解析：guardagainst意为“防止，防范，警惕”，为固定短语，against也可以省略。

19.concernconcern解析：“concernfor”表示“对…关心”。所以此处应填“concern”。

20.pollpoll解析：此句意为“Synovate市场研发公司的调查显示”，poll的意思为“民意调查”。因此答案为“poll”。

21.butbut解析：此句意为“30岁的人表现出非常不同的握笔方式，…超过40岁的人都统一用三个手指握笔。”显然，此空处表转折。

22.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”。

23.threatenthreaten解析：由33题解析可以知道此空一定为“威胁”之意。

24.dumpingdumping解析：由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质…人河流和湖泊，…”可知，此空处显然应为“倒”。又因为介词后只能用dumping，而不能用dump。

25.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。

26.B解析：第三段中Dr．Laragh提到“…所以建议所有人应该少吃盐没有意义。”可以推知，他的言下之意是“医生不应建议人们不吃盐”。

27.B解析：由B中的第一段最后一句话“Ithasbeencalled‘Thelastgreatwar．’”可知。

28.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。

29.D解析：由短文第六段可知答案为D。

30.A解析：在第三段最后一句“…oneculture-basedproducthasbeenclearedformarketinginEurope．”里出现了“cleared”一词。根据下文中“marketing”和读者有关药品上市前应该得到批准的常识，可以判断出，该词在本句中的意思是“得到官方的批准”。因此正确答案为A。

31.CC解析：由此处上段的“therewasanothertransition…theywerereplacedbythemillandtheassemblyline.”可知，工业革命以后，人们不需要象以前那样卖力气的工作了。而后面选项中的“westandatthebrinkofachange…”说明了此事，故应选C。

32.D解析：“bitingone’snails”的意思是“一筹莫展”，通过后面的表述，“mostofherclientsspend$12to$50weekly，…”可以看出Spero并不是到了没有顾客的地步，只是越来越少，所以他并没有到达绝望的处境。故应选D。

33.CC解析：接下来讲的是人体的免疫系统与毒藤之间的关系。毒藤会使人产生什么样的反应，该空紧接的就是毒藤过敏反应时如何产生的。“Here'showthepoisonivyresponseoccurs．”一句承上启下。所以本题应选C。

34.A解析：从文章最后一句话“BecauseofHome'semphasiscrucialtoanystudyofart，thetwentiethcenturyhascometoappreciateBotticelli'sachievements.”
