15.B

16.farfar解析：可用于修饰“toolittle”的只能是far，意为“太少，特别少”。

17.displaydisplay解析：这里要回应本段第一句话中的“displayed”。在出口结算处展示的这些小商品无疑是一种诱惑。这里需要用名词形式。故答案为display。

18.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。

19.thosethose解析：文章中提到“16-19岁之间的日本青年跟25-29岁之间的青年对比”，这里缺少代词，替代“Japaneseyouth”。所以此处应填“those”

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

21.personperson解析：本句话的意思是“与此相反的一类人是那些想入非非的人。”根据上下文的要求这里应该填入man的同义词。故答案为person。

22.losinglosing解析：根据上下文的意思，很多年轻一代的日本人已经不再尊重父母，不再对家庭有责任感，所以这里用losing表示“渐渐失去了”。所以此处应填“losing”。

23.butbut解析：此句意为“30岁的人表现出非常不同的握笔方式，…超过40岁的人都统一用三个手指握笔。”显然，此空处表转折。

24.byby解析：由日本政府收集的数据。考查被动语态的用法，“由…”用介词“by”。所以此处应填“by”。

25.offoff解析：turnoff是“关掉”的意思，此题考查动词短语的用法，根据上下文语境，这里意思是“关掉你的手机”。所以用副词“off”。

26.AA解析：第二个“myth”是担心人口老龄化会使工作人员越来越少。研究中心人员提出应该给年长的人提供各种培训机会。A中“Ourstudiesshowthattherearebenefitsfromhavinganage—integratedworkforce．”说“研究表明不同年龄段的劳动力的融合也会有许多好处”。

27.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。

28.A解析：由A中的“…theCollegehaspioneeredtheuseofvideoconferencingtechnologyasawayofimprovingitscurriculum．”可知。

29.C解析：由C中的第一段“Themonastery-likepalace…wasthereligiousandpoliticalcenterofoldTibetandthewinterpalaceofDalaiLamas.”可知。

30.C解析：由C中的第二段“…asubstantialagriculturesector，whichcontributestodeforestation，theerosionofthetopsoilanddesegification．hasledtoextremepressureson
