15.A

16.towardtoward解析：作者要表達的意思是“我怎么才能對別人誠實。”英語中表達“對某人…”一般是用介詞toward。故答案為toward。

17.toto解析：besubjectedto為固定搭配，“使遭受，使服從”的意思，要學會跨過其他成分尋找主干。所以此處應填介詞“to”。

18.workwork解析：本句意為“我們以前已經(jīng)嘗試過，但是不…?！憋@然，此空處應填“奏效，起作用”，英語中表達這一含義最地道的詞就是work。

19.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。

20.workwork解析：根據(jù)上文，對比的是對工作的態(tài)度，所以此處應填“work”。

21.gripgrip解析：顯然，此空應填一個動詞“握，拿”，英語中握筆用動詞grip。

22.asas解析：thinkofsth．a(chǎn)ssth．為固定短語，意為“把某物想成某物”。

23.whosewhose解析：此句意為“StephanieThomas，一位學習輔導老師，…發(fā)現(xiàn)已經(jīng)發(fā)表了…。”由此可知，空處所填單詞必為whose，引導定語從句，修飾teacher。

24.olderolder解析：grow只能是年齡越來越大。

25.importantimportant解析：從本句后面的一句話可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson就算是重要的人物，他們也不會把這種顯赫寫在臉上。所以前面應填important。故答案為important。

26.B解析：對于婦女的慣常思維沒有因為法律而變化，所以A項不正確。根據(jù)第二段第一句話可知B項正確。從常識判斷，雇主是不會主動提出提高婦女權益保護的，所以他們的保護不會比立法前多，故C項是不正確的。D項從文中不能推斷出。

27.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別人隱私而設定的?！惫蕬xB。

28.A解析：由A中的第一句話“‘Bewitched’isapainfullyembarrassingremakeoftheclassicTVsitcomthatranonABCfrom1964—1972．”可知。

29.B解析：文章第二段一開頭就說：“It'snotentirelyclearwhymedicinehasbeensoslowtobuildonAnderson'searlysuccess．”從時間上來看，Anderson采用基因療法的成功嘗試已經(jīng)是1990年的事情了，兩相對照，可見他的成功沒有讓醫(yī)學加速發(fā)展。因此正確答案為B。

30.C解析：越來越多的人贊成Stiglitz的觀點，批評自由貿(mào)易和全球化，從“Suchclaimsarenolongercredible，forStiglitzispartofasmallbutgrowinggroupofeconomists，sociologistsandpoliticalscientists…”growing一詞可以看出答案。所以本題應選C。

31.A解析：從文章最后一段“Potentialhomebuyerswouldcheerforlowerinterestrates．Employerswouldn’tmindalittlefewerbubblesinthejobmarket…”可以看出，盡管經(jīng)濟形勢不好，但是還是有人能夠受益的，比如說，想買房子的人認為這種低利息，就業(yè)市場等等。故應選A。

32.FF解析：從后面的first，second等字眼可以看出答案為F，因為選項中的“This，ofcourse，willintroducetwovitalsetsofproblem—isalreadyintroducingthem．”相對應。故應選F。

33.DD解析：此處的前一段說明的是一些特殊情況，例如“Thesameistrueofthecrippledorphysicallyhandicapped．”而后面的一段指出“Ofcourse，theoppositeisalsotrue．”也就是說在空白的地方，作者依然在說明這些不尋常的情況，故應選D。

34.D解析：由整篇短文的主旨“低鹽并不適于所有人”可知，此處“eventheveryvocal‘lowsalt’exponent”意為“即使是強力推薦的‘低鹽’”。

35.D解析：deforestation意為“濫伐森林”。

36.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’scapitaltoservehiscountryand
