15.Tospeakslowly

16.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。”顯然，此空處應為“飲用”。

17.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?！笨芍?，此處應為“丟掉，扔掉”之意，即disposeof。

18.ageage解析：此段話均是在比較不同年齡段的人之間寫字的不同，故此空應填“年齡”。

19.whichwhich解析：此空后的句子應為定語從句，修飾“tokeneconomies”，故此空應填一個可引導定語從句的詞，而且前面可加介詞in。

20.farfar解析：能修飾too的副詞只有far或much。

21.butbut解析：這里表達的前后句意是一種轉折關系。前面說“hemayhavedreams，”而后面“hedoesnotallowthemtoblockhisknowledge…”的意思卻是“但是他也不會讓這些夢想阻擋自己對什么是現(xiàn)實的理解。”故答案為but。

22.alsoalso解析：由35題解析，拼寫有問題的學生必定握筆習慣不好。

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…?！庇纱丝芍仗幩顔卧~必為whose，引導定語從句，修飾teacher。

24.asas解析：此處為因果關系，意為“因為許多人沒有…”，因此此處應填填連詞“as”。

25.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?！憋@然，此空處表轉折。

26.A解析：由A中advantage第一句話“Hydro-electricpowerstationscanincreasetofullpowerveryquickly，unlikeotherpowerstations.”可知答案為A。

27.C解析：C中提到“Theschoolcatersforgirlsofaverageabilityandabovebutitisnotnarrowlyacademic．”。

28.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，故應選C。

29.A解析：由A中的最后一句話“…withafictionalTVwitchbeingplayedbyanhonest-to-Godreallifewitch．”可知。

30.C解析：A、B、D在文中均提到，是正確的，而C不對，文中提到“Youwouldexpectthemtofindtheirfriendsfromtheirprofessionalassociat
