15.A

16.wherewhere解析：此題考查where引導(dǎo)的定語從句，修飾前面提到的plane，trainorbus。所以此處應(yīng)填關(guān)系副詞“where”。

17.differencedifference解析：顯然，這句話是在對老年人和年輕人寫字之間進(jìn)行比較，而且由后半句中的“getbetterat…”可知，此空必為“不同的”。

18.ofof解析：“對現(xiàn)實(shí)的了解”的英文表達(dá)是“theunderstandingofreality”，這里的介詞用of。故答案為of。

19.thoughthough解析：本句話的意思是“盡管知道顧客們可能不知道自己為什么買了這些商品，但是賣家卻知道怎么去做。”故答案為though。

20.withwith解析：根據(jù)對等關(guān)系，這里應(yīng)該與后面的部分“apersonwithagoodunderstanding”相對應(yīng)。意思是“那些腳踏實(shí)地的人往往是那些很了解現(xiàn)實(shí)的人?！惫蚀鸢笧閣ith。

21.killingkilling解析：本句意為“通過無控制地使用殺蟲劑，人類已經(jīng)污染了土地，…野生動物?！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)填“殺害”，但不能填kill，因?yàn)橛⒄Z中無連詞時(shí)不可能有兩個(gè)謂語，故應(yīng)填killing，killingthewildlife是現(xiàn)在分詞做伴隨狀語。

22.oppositeopposite解析：從文章第二段的內(nèi)容可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson和那些表面上裝的很重要的人物正好相反。所以這里應(yīng)填“相反的”，故答案為opposite。

23.suchsuch解析：“such…as”用來舉例子。所以此處應(yīng)填“such”。

24.someonesomeone解析：由本文的第一句話“‘Down-to-earth’meanssomeoneorsomethingthatishonest．realisticandeasytodealwith．”可知“Down-to-earth”指的是誠實(shí)，現(xiàn)實(shí)、平易近人的那些人。這里的someone和后面是相對應(yīng)的。故答案為someone。

25.readyready解析：顧客來到結(jié)算處，說明他們準(zhǔn)備好了要付賬。bereadyto的意思是“準(zhǔn)備好了做某事”。故答案為ready。

26.C解析：由第一段可知，這張卡片是送報(bào)人的，我們被暗示：要填好卡片投遞，當(dāng)你的服務(wù)在凌晨四點(diǎn)就被奉上時(shí)，你不能若無其事，你必須要直接點(diǎn)，他想要的是假期小費(fèi)。因此正確答案為C。

27.C解析：由短文第三段中“Theindustrialagemaynowbecomingtoanend，andsomeofthechangesinworkpatternswhichitbroughtmayhavetobereversed．”可知。

28.A解析：由文章第四段中的“Anotherfamousexampleistheelectrical．Thisfishgivesanevenmorepowerfulshock．”可知。

29.D解析：由第四段第一句“However，MacDonaldandotherswarnaganistusinginsurancepoliciespurelyasaninvestment．”可知。

30.C解析：通過全文的理解，我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)作者在列數(shù)了經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢不好的局面之后，也表明了人們對此依然存在著樂觀態(tài)度，有的人還能從中受益，所以作者的態(tài)度應(yīng)該是“對此加以注意，但不要惶恐?！惫蕬?yīng)選C。

31.AA解析：第二個(gè)“myth”是擔(dān)心人口老齡化會使工作
