15.A

16.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”。

17.populationpopulation解析：由下一句“越来越多的人正在制造更多的垃圾。”可知，此处应指“膨胀的人口”，即explodingpopulation。

18.betweenbetween解析：此句意为“Thomas先生尽管不能在握笔方式和拼写准确性之间建立重要的统计学联系，…”所以答案为介词between。

19.afterafter解析：此句意为“…他注意到了那些拼写有问题的学生也有一个坏的握笔习惯，他受到鼓舞调查这个领域。”

20.WhenWhen解析：这里的一句话其实与下一半“whenwearedown-to-earth…．”所起到的作用是一样的，同时两者也是并列的，when表达了“当…”，所以这里填when。故答案为when。

21.purposepurpose解析：从文中的第一句话“Themostobviouspurpose…”可以看出后面还有别的目的，而不是仅仅有最明显的目的。故答案为purpose。

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.withwith解析：endupwith意为“以…结束，以…告终”，为固定短语。

24.drinkingdrinking解析：由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质倒入河流和湖泊，我们已经污染了我们的…水。”显然，此空处应为“饮用”。

25.callscalls解析：此句意为“他把这种缺乏礼节的行为称作是一种无意识的无礼”。call+双宾语结构，以为“把…称为”，所以此处填“calls”。

26.AA解析：第二个“myt
