15.A

16.onon解析：“…的決定”英語表達(dá)為“decisiononsth.”這里介詞需要用on。故答案為on。

17.onon解析：dependenceon意為“依賴，依靠”，是固定短語。

18.AsAs解析：此句意為“…后一種觀點(diǎn)的例子，…”顯然，空處應(yīng)填“作為”。

19.farfar解析：可用于修飾“toolittle”的只能是far，意為“太少，特別少”。

20.andand解析：這三個分詞短語是并列的，故中間的連詞只能用and。

21.purposepurpose解析：從文中的第一句話“Themostobviouspurpose…”可以看出后面還有別的目的，而不是僅僅有最明顯的目的。故答案為purpose。

22.proportionproportion解析：此處意為很大比例的學(xué)生仍然喜歡簡單的工作，所以此處應(yīng)填“proportion”。

23.towardtoward解析：作者要表達(dá)的意思是“我怎么才能對別人誠實(shí)?！庇⒄Z中表達(dá)“對某人…”一般是用介詞toward。故答案為toward。

24.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(dá)的意思是“很有可能就是一類人”。belikelytodo就表達(dá)了這種意思。故答案為likely。

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

26.D解析：由D中的最后一段“Considerations…,onhowviolencecandestroyahumansoul，…”可知。

27.D解析：由短文第六段可知答案為D。

28.BB解析：由上一段段意可知，B放在最后一處最合適。

29.B解析：由文章第一段第一句“Insuranceissupposedtoprovideprotectionagainstfinancialrisks…”可知。

30.AA解析：上一段最后一句“…suchasdrainingblood…”與A中的“Themassivewartimeblooddrives…”對應(yīng)。

31.AA解析：第二個“myth”是擔(dān)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(yīng)該給年長的人提供各種培訓(xùn)機(jī)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”。

32.B解析：從第五段中描述到，看到裝著支票的信封沒有了，但是垃圾還在，所以作者的丈夫懷疑信封是被別人偷走了，立馬就通知銀行作廢了這張支票。所以Mickey最終還是沒有從銀行中取走錢。因此正確答案為B。

33.A解析：由A中將打算建“nighttimeeconomy”可以看出。所以此處答案為A。

34.A解析：從文章最后一句話“BecauseofHome’semphasiscrucialtoanystudyofart，thetwentiethcenturyhascometoappreciateBotticelli’sachievements．”可以看出，作者認(rèn)為波提切利的作品在二十一世紀(jì)會被重新的認(rèn)識，人們會重新認(rèn)識他作品的成就。故應(yīng)選A。

35.B解析：文章的第三段指出“…providedprivacyprotectionsforcertainsectorsthroughlegislationsuchastheFinancialServicesModernizationAct．”意思就是“象FinancialServicesModernizationAct這樣的法案就是國會為了保護(hù)別人隱私而設(shè)定的?！惫蕬?yīng)選B。

36.AA解析：由上段的最后一句話“tookoverthehardphysicaltasksandrelievedthestrainonhumanandanimalmuscles.”可知答案為A，后面選項(xiàng)中的“thelaborthatrequffedthehumaneyes,ears,judgmentandmindbutnosweating”與之呼應(yīng)，故應(yīng)選A。

37.C解析：原文對應(yīng)信息是：“Traditionalscholarships，academicorathletic,arestillapartofmanyfamilies'planning．”意為“許多家庭還在依賴傳統(tǒng)的獎學(xué)金，不管是學(xué)習(xí)上的還是體育上的。”所以本題應(yīng)選C。

38.B解析：由短文第一段中的“Andaccordingtolegend，therewasaTurkishrulerwho…Topayfortheweal"andtearonhisteeth．”。

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

40.C解析：文中第一段提到“Butsuchbehavioralstudiescannotdistinguishbetweentwocompetingtheoriesofwhysleepisgoodforthememory.”所以他們對為什么睡眠對記憶有好處持有不同的觀點(diǎn)，故應(yīng)選C。

41.A由第三段中所舉的GTE的例子可知“efficienttechnologyiscost．effective”。

42.E由“istheiradvice”這一關(guān)鍵成分可知此空應(yīng)填E，這樣才與“Accordingtoane—Bayspokesperson”對應(yīng)上。

43.B本文第一句提到“TodayTVaudiencesallovertheworldaleaccustomedtothesightofAmericanastronautsintip—topcondition，withfairhair，crew—cuts，goodteethand…”。

44.C短文解析
