15.C

16.thethe解析：此处缺冠词，在年轻人之间，用the表示特指。所以此处应填“the”。

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

18.especiallyespecially解析：“Around1980many．Japanese，______youngpeople…”，“1980年左右许多日本人，尤其是年轻人…”，所以此处应填“especially”。

19.especiallyespecially解析：“Around1980manyJapanese，——youngpeople…”，“1980年左右许多日本人，尤其是年轻人…”，所以此处应填“especially”。

20.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。

21.onon解析：“…的决定”英语表达为“decisiononsth．”这里介词需要用on。故答案为on。

22.losinglosing解析：根据上下文的意思，很多年轻一代的日本人已经不再尊重父母，不再对家庭有责任感，所以这里用losing表示“渐渐失去了”。所以此处应填“losing”。

23.farfar解析：能修饰too的副词只有far或much。

24.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。

25.withoutwithout解析：此处意为年轻人更喜欢没有重大责任的简单工作。所以此处应填“without”。

26.B解析：由B中的第二段最后几句话“Millerisorderedtotakehissquadbehindenemylinesonadangerousmissiontofindandretrieveoneman：PrivateJamesRyan．”可知。

27.B解析：由B中“BarnessitsjustacrosstheriverfromHammersmithinsouthwestLondon，butitcouldnotbemoredifferentfromthenoiseandbustleoftheoppositebank．”可以看出Barnes与其对岸喧嚣吵闹的城市完全不同。所以此处答案为B。

28.FF解析：由此空上下文可以看出，选项中只有F放在此处符合逻辑，上下文才能连贯。

29.A解析：文中提到“…urgedcautioninensuringthateffortstoprotectournationdonotresultinbroadgovernmentauthoritytoerodeprivacyrightsofU．S．citizens．”其意思是“保护国家的利益也不应该伤害美国居民的个人隐私权利”，可知作者认为这项提议是不公正的。故应选A。

30.D解析：由短文第二段中的“…showedthatthosewithnormalbloodpressureunderwentnochangeatallwhenplacedonanextremelylow-saltdiet，…”可知。

31.A解析：第二段中指出“…whenbrainandbodyareactive”，
