15.Thestagecoach．

16.thatthat解析：此空后面的句子為suggesting的內容，即應為其賓語從句，所以此空處應填引導賓語從句的詞，即that。

17.likelylikely解析：前面所說的thepersonwhoisdown-to-earth與thepersonwhosebothfeetontheground大體是一類人，所以這里表達的意思是“很有可能就是一類人”。belikelytodo就表達了這種意思。故答案為likely。

18.toto解析：revertto意為“重想，重提”，此句意為“如果你經(jīng)常提到‘我們以前已經(jīng)試著這樣做了，但是不管用’就會很快地挫傷這種好問的頭腦”。

19.fromfrom解析：“來自…的數(shù)據(jù)”，要用介詞“from”。所以此處應填“from”。

20.readyready解析：顧客來到結算處，說明他們準備好了要付賬。bereadyto的意思是“準備好了做某事”。故答案為ready。

21.butbut解析：這里表達的前后句意是一種轉折關系。前面說“hemayhavedreams，”而后面“hedoesnotallowthemtoblockhisknowledge…”的意思卻是“但是他也不會讓這些夢想阻擋自己對什么是現(xiàn)實的理解。”故答案為but。

22.forfor解析：解析見上題。desire后面用介詞for。故答案為for，表示“…的欲望”。

23.WhenWhen解析：這里的一句話其實與下一半“whenwearedown-to-earth…．”所起到的作用是一樣的，同時兩者也是并列的，when表達了“當…”，所以這里填when。故答案為when。

24.amongamong解析：此句意為“后一種觀點得到了許多支持者，尤其…教育家?！憋@然，空處應填“在…中”，介詞among即有此意。

25.fromfrom解析：keepsth．fromdoingsth．意為“防止某事…”，為固定短語。

26.B解析：由B中的后面部分“Themostimportantconstructions…HeavenKitchen,…othersofhistoricinterestandscenicbeauty.”可知。

27.D解析：由D中的最后一段“andsoistodescribeitsimplyasamovieaboutgangsters．”可知。

28.B解析：由第四段第二句“Thegovernmentestimatesthat95millionpeoplestillqualifyforshotsunderthevoluntaryrestrictionsannouncedlastweek．”中可以知道大約有九千五百萬人有資格注射疫苗。根據(jù)第四段第三句：“That’snearlytwicethenumberofdosesthatclinicswillhaveonhand，butonly60millionAmericansseekoutshotsinanormalyear．”和前一句可以推斷出美國現(xiàn)有大約四千七百萬份流感疫苗庫存，由此可推斷出美國至少還有四千七百多萬有資格注射疫苗的人無法得到注射。因此正確答案為B。
