15.A

16.whatwhat解析：解析同上。這里是一個名詞性從句，what在句中做主語。故答案為what。

17.amongamong解析：此句意為“后一種觀點得到了許多支持者，尤其…教育家。”顯然，空處應填“在…中”，介詞among即有此意。

18.toto解析：talkto的意思是“和某人聊天”，talk這里不及物動詞，后面需要接一個介詞。在從句中介詞不能省略。作者這里要表達的意思是“和那些誠實的平易近人的人聊天是很愜意的。”故答案為to。

19.poorpoor解析：此句意為“但是很容易通過給…表現報酬或創造對報酬太…的期望而扼殺創造性。”顯然，此空處應填“劣拙的，不好的”。

20.takestakes解析：要注意時態，這里意為“占據”，所以所以此處應填“takes”。

21.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。

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

23.rewardreward解析：通篇文章均是在講報酬與創造性的關系，此句意為“如果孩子們知道他們在為…工作，…。”顯然，此空處應填“報酬”。

24.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。

25.byby解析：由日本政府收集的數據。考查被動語態的用法，“由…”用介詞“by”。所以此處應填“by”。

26.D解析：文章的結尾，作者說我們不知道學校學生的能力和大腦兩半球功能之間的確切關系；我們不懂大腦兩半球是如何通過corpuscallosum相互作用的；間接地提出對于corpuscallosum的影響，多作研究工作。所以本題應選D。

27.A解析：由A中“TheunpopulararchitecturehasledtotheareabeingcalledmeMiltonKeynesofLondonbutpropertiesarespaciousandunfashionablestyle.haskeptpricesdown”可以看出房屋樣式古板，但是價位令人比較容易接受。所以此處答案為A。

28.B解析：由短文第一段中的“Andaccordingtolegend，therewasaTurkishrulerwho…ToPayforthewearandtearonhisteeth”。

29.C解析：原文對應信息是：“Traditionalscholarships，academicorathletic,arestillapartofmanyfamilies'planning．”意為“許多家庭還在依賴傳統的獎學金，不管是學習上
