15.B

16.complycomply解析：此处句意为“他们会很懊恼的服从”，表示服从，遵从的短语是complywith。所以此处应填“comply”。

17.happinesshappiness解析：根据上下文，日本年轻人更看重追求个人的幸福。所以此处应填“happiness”。

18.rationalrational解析：从文章的后面可以知道，顾客们已经要结算了，认为都买了该买的商品。但是售货员在他们等着付账的过程中巧妙的利用顾客们的购物冲动向他们推销，而不是理性购物。故答案为rational。

19.dumpingdumping解析：由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质…入河流和湖泊，…”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。

20.toto解析：besubjectedto为固定搭配，“使遭受，使服从”的意思，要学会跨过其他成分寻找主干。所以此处应填介词“to”。

21.dodo解析：解析见上题，为了避免与前面的know重复，这里可以换做do。故答案为do。

22.underunder解析：underguidance意为“在…指导下”，为固定短语。

23.gripgrip解析：显然，此空应填一个动词“握，拿”，英语中握笔用动词grip。

24.butbut解析：这里表达的前后句意是一种转折关系。前面说“hemayhavedreams．”而后面“hedoesnotallowthemtoblockhisknowledge…”的意思却是“但是他也不会让这些梦想阻挡自己
