15.A

16.toto解析：“incontrastto”为固定搭配，意为“与…相对比”。所以此处应填“to”。

17.paperpaper解析：由前一句“…arenowpaperthrowaways．”可知，“不久以后我们将穿由纸制作的衣服。”

18.amongamong解析：此句意为“后一种观点得到了许多支持者，尤其…教育家。”显然，空处应填“在…中”，介词among即有此意。

19.toto解析：“shift”意为“转变”，“从…到…的转变”应该用介词“to”。所以此处应填“to”。

20.likelylikely解析：前面所说的thepersonwhoisdown-to-earth与thepersonwhosebothfeetontheground大体是一类人，所以这里表达的意思是“很有可能就是一类人”。belikelytodo就表达了这种意思。故答案为likely。

21.thatthat解析：此空后面的句子为suggesting的内容，即应为其宾语从句，所以此空处应填引导宾语从句的词，即that。

22.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”。

23.whosewhose解析：这是一个后置定语从句，用whose来引导，表示mind与dreamer的所属关系。故答案为whose。

24.thosethose解析：本句的意思是“他们不认为自己比别的不重要的人更好、更优秀。”这里比较的是down—to—earthpersons和别人。故答案为those。

25.acrossacross解析：getacross意为“使(观点等)被理解或接受，讲清自己的意思”，此句意为“给他们讲清巨大的成功不会轻易、快速地到来很重要。”

26.AA解
