15.Thegeneralpublic

16.ratherrather解析：此空所在句意为“用四个手指握笔而不是三个。”ratherthan表示“而不是”。

17.knowledgeknowledge解析：前面讲商家正确的分析市场的供需信息，知道是什么因素影响顾客的购买欲望。这就是他们利用的信息知识。故答案为knowledge。

18.andand解析：“both…and…”为固定搭配，“两者都”。所以此处应填“and”。

19.awareaware解析：beawareof，固定搭配，意为“意识到”。所以此处应填“aware”。

20.withwith解析：根据对等关系，这里应该与后面的部分“apersonwithagoodunderstanding”相对应。意思是“那些脚踏实地的人往往是那些很了解现实的人。”故答案为with。

21.awareaware解析：beawareof，固定搭配，意为“意识到”。所以此处应填“aware”。

22.ageage解析：此段话均是在比较不同年龄段的人之间写字的不同，故此空应填“年龄”。

23.werewere解析：考查被动语态的用法，注意分析句子成分。所以此处应填“were”。

24.onon解析：此题也考查介词的用法，在电话中交谈，一般用onthephone。所以此处应填介词“on”。

25.gogo解析：gotoone’sheads的意思是“展现、表现”，俗语。用在文中表示“把…写在脸上”，生怕别人不知道的显摆。故答案为go。

26.A解析：由本文倒数第二段可知，B、C、D均正确，只有A不对。

27.A解析：第六段中男主人看到清理垃圾的车，误以为是Mickey来了，正要出去澄清误会，把上次的小费补上，却遭到了回收员的蔑视，所以他感到澄清误会的机会是很渺茫了，对于假期小费的事情他已经绝望了。因此正确答案为A。

28.B解析：由短文第一段最后一句“Exoticplastics，glassandceramicswillshapethefuturejustassurelyashavegeneticengineeringandcomputerscience．”可知，本文提到了三种新材料。

29.B解析：B中提到“TheaccoladeofwinningtheSchoolsCurriculumAwardin1997gaveEdgehillnationalrecognitionand，recently，…”。

30.B解析：从文章的第三段可以看出，“Homepricesareholdingsteadyinmostregions．”作者在这一段主要说明房子等不动产的价格、利润等方面，所以“the$4millionto$10millionrange”说的是不动产。故应选B。

31.D解析：deforestation意为“滥伐森林”。

32.A解析：由A中的disadvantage中最后一条内容“Waterqualityandquantitydownstreamcanbeaffected，whichcanhaveanimpactonplantlife．”可知答案为A。

33.B解析：有关商业方面的报道都是对Stiglitz的论点的支持信息。“…especiallywhenthebusinesspageisfullofstoriesaboutwhite—collarcrimeandthestockmarketseemsstuckinaperpetualrut…”所以本题应选B。

34.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。
