15.A

16.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。

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.withoutwithout解析：此处意为年轻人更喜欢没有重大责任的简单工作。所以此处应填“without”。

19.notnot解析：此空前半句意为“我们真地生活在污染中，呼吸着它”，而后半句意为“它开始…我们的健康、幸福和文明。”显然，这是因果关系，故中间的surprisingly前只能加个否定词not。

20.worseworse解析：“the+比较级，the+比较级”，意为“越…越…，”根据上下文，本句句意为“身边的小玩意儿越多，事情似乎就会变得越糟糕。”所以此处应填“worse”。

21.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”。

22.useuse解析：后面的一句话"Theexpressionis‘both-feet-on-the-ground．’”表示down-to-earth的另一种表达方法是both-feet-on-the-ground。而后一种说法是美国人的用法，常常被美国人使用。故答案为use。

23.proportionproportion解析：此处意为很大比例的学生仍然喜欢简单的工作，所以此处应填“proportion”。

24.somesome解析：这里需要填写的是商品的名称，就是说摆在出口结算处的那些小商品。泛指时用some。故答案为some。

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.C解析：从第一段最后一句话“Botticelli’sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste，pleasingneitheramateurobserversnorconnoisseurs．”可知，作者讲述了那些评论家，不管是业余的还是职业的，他们都不满意它的作品风格。所以这个词的意思可能是“对作品做出评论的那些业余人士”。故应选C。

27.C解析：由全文可以推断，要指出犯罪率下降的确切原因是很困难的。

28.C解析：Stiglitz在经济学领域享有的盛誉，C中“themostprominentandhisemergence”，“acelebratedtheoristwhowasawardedthe2001NobelPrize…”等词都可以看出他的杰出贡献。所以本题应选C
