15.A

16.accordingaccording解析：accordingto为“依据”，为固定短语，意为国的民意调查”。所以此处填according。

17.toto解析：talkto的意思是“和某人聊天”，talk这里不及物动词，后面需要接一个介词。在从句中介词不能省略。作者这里要表达的意思是“和那些诚实的平易近人的人聊天是很惬意的。”故答案为to。

18.ofof解析：beofthesame…意为“是一样…”，此句意为“…在正确的指导下，他们能继续学习，继续通过干许多一样复杂的工作而获得多样性。”

19.customercustomer解析：从这个句子的宾语“…thatheorshehasdoneagoodjobofchoosingtheitems.”可以看出，这里说的是顾客的行为，他们认为自己买这些商品是很理性的。故答案为customer。

20.thatthat解析：此空后的内容为maintain的内容，即此空后的句子为maintain的宾语，应填一个可引导宾语从句的词。

21.oppositeopposite解析：从文章第二段的内容可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson和那些表面上装的很重要的人物正好相反。所以这里应填“相反的”，故答案为opposite。

22.therebythereby解析：本句句意为“我们也正在污染海洋，杀死了鱼类，…剥夺了我们那无价的食物供应。”显然，此空前后为因果关系，而且depriving前不能用so或其他表因果关系的连词，而只能用介词thereby。

23.SometimeSometime解析：通过对后面句子的分析，我们可以知道那些想入非非、飘飘欲仙的人有朝一日也是可以“双脚落地的”，那就是“sharpwordsfromteacher”，所以这里表示的是“有朝一日”，故答案为sometime。

24.atat解析：此题考固定搭配，atone'sdisposal，意为“任某人自由支配、使唤”。所以此处应填介词“at”。

25.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”。

26.A解析：“这些区别”指的是什么?短文第五段主题句说“Butitisn’tallthateasytoexplaintheactualdifferencesbetweenskillsofmenandwomenonthisbasis．”即在此基础上解释两性技能的区别并不是很容易的事。由此可见，“这些区别”指的是两性技能。所以本题应选A。

27.D解析：由D中的最后一段倒数第二句话“ThetempleisacombinationofHan,TibetanandNepalesearchitecturaltechniques.”可知。

28.C解析：由全文的语气来看，均是在解释、阐述事情，而不是descriptive或narrative，更不是critic。

29.BB解析：该空缺下面的段落都是对每一个“myth”的揭示。谁来揭示呢?B项中提到牛津大学
