15.B

16.gradesgrades解析：此句意為“…他指出在主要大學里關控制評分標準及恢復不及格…的努力?！憋@然，此空處應填“分數(shù)”。

17.useuse解析：后面的一句話“Theexpressionis‘both-feet-on-the-ground.”表示down-to-earth的另一種表達方法是both-feet-on-the-ground。而后一種說法是美國人的用法，常常被美國人使用。故答案為use。

18.drinkingdrinking解析：由本句句意“通過將污水和化學物質倒入河流和湖泊，我們已經(jīng)污染了我們的…水?！憋@然，此空處應為“飲用”。

19.suchsuch解析：“such…as”用來舉例子。所以此處應填“such”。

20.losinglosing解析：根據(jù)上下文的意思，很多年輕一代的日本人已經(jīng)不再尊重父母，不再對家庭有責任感，所以這里用。losing表示“漸漸失去了”。所以此處應填“l(fā)osing”。

21.acrossacross解析：getacross意為“使(觀點等)被理解或接受，講清自己的意思”，此句意為“給他們講清巨大的成功不會輕易、快速地到來很重要?！?/p>

22.butbut解析：此句意為“30歲的人表現(xiàn)出非常不同的握筆方式，…超過40歲的人都統(tǒng)一用三個手指握筆。”顯然，此空處表轉折。

23.andand解析：這三個分詞短語是并列的，故中間的連詞只能用and。

24.byby解析：由日本政府收集的數(shù)據(jù)?？疾楸粍诱Z態(tài)的用法，“由…”用介詞“by”。所以此處應填“by”。

25.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。

26.B解析：從文章的第三段可以看出，“Homepricesareholdingsteadyinmostregions.”作者在這一段主要說明房子等不動產(chǎn)的價格、利潤等方面，所以“the$4millionto$10millionrange”說的是不動產(chǎn)。故應選B。

27.D解析：由D中的第一句“JokhangTempleisthespiritualcenterofTibet．”可知。

28.FF解析：后面的一段說明了相反的情況?！癟hepersonwearingtheglasses…”與選項中的“…twopeoplewearsdarkglasses”相對應，故應選F。

29.C解析：由短文第一段中的“Smithnoted，‘Betweentheamoutofsodiumapersonconsumesandheartdisease，circulatorydisorders，strokeandevenearlydeath．’”可知。

30.D解析：第一段最后一句話指出了疫苗短缺所暴露出來的問題?！癟hisreemphasizesthefragilityofourvaccinesupply，”say
