15.C

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

18.bringbring解析：通过前一句话“suchadreamercanbebroughtbacktoearth．”中的brought可以知道，这里应该填bring，表示“把…带到”。故答案为bring。

19.referencereference解析：这三个分词短语意为“执行日常运算、挖掘…材料、操作再生产设备”。显然，“参考材料”最合适。

20.sellingselling解析：关键是看and后面的buying。本句话的意思是“商家分析市场的供需情况。”故答案为selling。

21.WarmWarm解析：由此句中的“contrastiveviews”可知，观点是相对的，此空所在短句意为“从…赞扬到冷酷的批评”，显然，应是“热烈的”。

22.killingkilling解析：本句意为“通过无控制地使用杀虫剂，人类已经污染了土地，…野生动物。”显然，此空处应填“杀害”，但不能填kill，因为英语中无连词时不可能有两个谓语，故应填killing，killingthewildlife是现在分词做伴随状语。

23.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”。

24.stillstill解析：本句意为“但是空气污染，尽管它…是最危险的，但也只是几种攻击最基本生活功能的污染方式之一。”显然，可知此空应填“仍然”。

25.fromfrom解析：keepsth．fromdoingsth．意为“防止某事…”，为固定短语。

26.A解析：“Itwaslikeofferingtodropasafeonmyheadtocuremyheadache．”意为“就像给我提供一个保险箱放我头上来治愈我的头痛一样。”含蓄讽刺地说技术员提供的建议不可采取。所以本题应选A。

27.FF解析：由此空上下文可以看出，选项中只有F放在此处符合逻辑，上下文才能连贯。

28.C解析：由C中的第一段第一句话“Chicago，thesecondlargestcityinpopulationintheUnitedStates，”可知答案为C。

29.D解析：文章的第一段最后一句话“Evenwhenanti-academicarthistorians…，Botticelli'sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste，…”，就算当时很多正统的艺术风格被批判，波提切利的作品也没有引起重视，认为他的作品不随人们的口味，既满足不了专业人士的品位，也不能满足业余人士的欣赏要求。这里的undervalue的意思是“低估，没有重视”，故应选D。

30.A解析：划线单词所在句子句意为“事情的另一面是：保险公司已经开发了一些很有创造性的，能与其他替代产品，诸如投资竞争的产品。它们能够满足任何一种全面投资计划的需求。”可见“它们”即指“creativeandcompetitiveinsuranceproducts”。

31.A解析：由整篇文章可知，本文主要传达的信息为“食盐致病理论没有道理”。

32.C解析：越来越多的人赞成Stiglitz的观点，批评自由贸易和全球化，从“Suchclaimsarenolongercredible，forStiglitzispartofasmallbutgrowinggroupofeconomists，sociologistsandpoliticalscientists…”growing一词可以看出答案。所以本题应选C。

33.B解析：文章的第三段指出“…providedprivacyprotectionsforcertainsectorsthroughlegislati
