15.A

16.disposedispose解析：由前一句“但是這個問題因為我們的“一次性”技術而加劇了。”可知，此處應為“丟掉，扔掉”之意，即disposeof。

17.lookinglooking解析：與介詞for的固定搭配，意為“尋求…”，這里指的是尋求新的價值觀。所以此處應填“l(fā)ooking”。

18.toto解析：“incontrastto”為固定搭配，意為“與…相對比”。所以此處應填“to”。

19.thosethose解析：本句的意思是“他們不認為自己比別的不重要的人更好、更優(yōu)秀?！边@里比較的是down-to-earthpersons和別人。故答案為those。

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

21.threatenthreaten解析：由33題解析可以知道此空一定為“威脅”之意。

22.displaydisplay解析：這里要回應本段第一句話中的“displayed”。在出口結算處展示的這些小商品無疑是一種誘惑。這里需要用名詞形式。放答案為display。

23.withwith解析：根據(jù)對等關系，這里應該與后面的部分“apersonwithagoodunderstanding”相對應。意思是“那些腳踏實地的人往往是那些很了解現(xiàn)實的人。”故答案為with。

24.areare解析：分析句子結構，這里缺少系動詞be來構成動詞的被動形式。故答案為are。

25.referencereference解析：這三個分詞短語意為“執(zhí)行日常運算、挖掘…材料、操作再生產(chǎn)設備”。顯然，“參考材料”最合適。

26.AA解析：第二個“myth”是擔心人口老齡化會使工作人員越來越少。研究中心人員提出應該給年長的人提供各種培訓機會。A中“Ourstudiesshowthattherearebenefitsfromhavinganage—integratedworkforce．”說“研究表明不同年齡段的勞動力的融合也會有許多好處”。

27.B解析：由短文第四段第一句“…the17thand18thcenturiesmademanypeopledependentonpaidworkbydeprivingthemoftheuseoftheland，…”可知。

28.D解析：Stiglitz打算致力于發(fā)展中國家的發(fā)展是在書評四中提到的，書評四最后幾句“…setsoutforthenation'scapitaltoservehiscountryandimprovethelotofthedevelopingworld．”他打算改善發(fā)展中國家人民的命運。所以本題應選D。

29.EE解析：由上一段中提到的“…whengeneticallymixedwithawildstrainofmushroom…”可知，只有E放在此處才能使上下段銜接，意思連貫。

30.A解析：第二段第二句“Mainlybecauseprivatecompanieshavehadlittleincentivetopursueit．”意思是說“私企生產(chǎn)流感疫苗的積極性不高”。接下來作者介紹了制作疫苗的復雜工序，由此可以推斷出流感疫苗生產(chǎn)工藝復雜、成本高。第二段又明確指出了私企不愿意生產(chǎn)流感疫苗的其他原因：利潤率低、需求不穩(wěn)定、此外由于流感病毒每年都不同，因此生產(chǎn)數(shù)量不能過大，由此也可推斷出生產(chǎn)的風險性大，如果生產(chǎn)多了就會損失很大。因此正確答案為A。

31.D解析：由D中的advantage內(nèi)容最后一條“Agoodmethodofsupplyingenergytoremoteareas.”可知答案為D。

32.D解析：由本文第二段可知A、B、C均正確，只有D不對。

33.
