14.Anytraveler/Apeddler/Ashoemaker．

15.B

16.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。

17.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。

18.forfor解析：解析见上题。desire后面用介词for。故答案为for，表示“…的欲望”。

19.whichwhich解析：由此句句子成分分析，此空以后的应为定语从句，修饰characteristics，所以此空应填which，引导定语从句。

20.importantimportant解析：从本句后面的一句话可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson就算是重要的人物，他们也不会把这种显赫写在脸上。所以前面应填important。故答案为important。

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.reasonsreasons解析：本段的第一句话提出问题，问为什么在结算处摆设了那么多的商品。很明显，后面的文章对这个问题进行回答，并列举了原因。故答案为reasons。

23.suchsuch解析：“such…as”用来举例子。所以此处应填“such”。

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

25.whatwhat解析：这句话的意思是“这就是商家和卖者希望顾客们做的事情”，what引导的是一个表语从句，故答案为what。

26.B解析：由B中的disadvantage中“Althoughnotmuchwasteisproduced,itisvery，verydangerous.Itmustbesealedupandburiedformanyyearstoallowtheradioactivitytodieaway.”可知答案为B。

27.B解析：文章第二段一开头就说：“It'snotentirelyclearwhymedicinehasbeensoslowtobuildonAnderson’searlysuccess．”从时间上来看，Anderson采用基因疗法的成功尝试已经是1990年的事情了，两相对照，可见他的成功没有让医学加速发展。因此正确答案为B。

28.C解析：由C中的第一段最后一句话“…occupyingabuildingspaceof90thousandsquaremeters”可知。

29.A解析：由A中的“…theCollegehaspioneeredtheuseofvideoconferencingtechnologyasawayofimprovingitscurriculum．”可知。

30.D解析：由D中的advantage中的第四句话“Windfarmscanbetouristattractions．”可知答案为D。

31.C解析：瓦萨利在文中第一段说到“VasariexpressedanuneasewithBotticelli'swork，…”说明他的态度是反对的，后来在最后一段中间部分“However,HomearguedthatBotticelli…emphasizedcleardepletionofastory,auniqueachievement…”表明霍姆的态度是肯定的。故应选C。

32.D解析：由D中的“ValparaisoUniversitycombinesliberalartswithprofessionalstudiesandpromotesservicetoothers”可知。

33.A解析：由A中的第三段“WashingtonistheheadquartersofallthebranchesoftheAmericanfederalsystem：Congress，theSupremeCourtandthePresidency．”
