13.A

14.B

15.B

16.importantimportant解析：从本句后面的一句话可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson就算是重要的人物，他们也不会把这种显赫写在脸上。所以前面应填important。故答案为important.

17.notnot解析：此空前半句意为“我们真地生活在污染中，呼吸着它”，而后半句意为“它开始…我们的健康、幸福和文明。”显然，这是因果关系，故中间的surprisingly前只能加个否定词not。

18.thatthat解析：此空后面的句子为suggesting的内容，即应为其宾语从句，所以此空处应填引导宾语从句的词，即that。

19.dailydaily解析：此句意为“但是不要使他们的…工作仅仅成为一长串令人心烦的差使。”显然，此空应填“每日的，日常的”。

20.fastfast解析：由上一句句意“不耐心代表了年轻的脑力工作者们的特点。”可知，本句“他们想…成名”中的空处应填“快速地”。

21.thosethose解析：文章中提到“16-19岁之间的日本青年跟25-29岁之间的青年对比”，这里缺少代词，替代“Japaneseyouth”。所以此处应填“those”

22.firstfirst解析：根据题意，作者想在这里做一个比较，而比较的对象是目的。这里作者仅仅给出了两个目的，所以这里是和第一个目的进行比较。故答案为first。

23.whichwhich解析：由此句句子成分分析，此空以后的应为定语从句，修饰characteristics，所以此空应填which，引导定语从句。

24.thethe解析：此处缺冠词，在年轻人之间，用the表示特指。所以此处应填“the”。

25.lookinglooking解析：与介词for的固定搭配，意为“寻求…”，这里指的是寻求新的价值观。所以此处应填“looking”。

26.CC解析：由上下两段看，只有C放在此处可以使上下文衔接，意思连贯。

27.DD解析：由上一段最后一句可知，只有D放在此处才能连贯，D为上一段最后一句的举例。

28.A解析：由A中advantage第一句话“Hydro-electricpowerstationscanincreasetofullpowerveryquickly，unlikeotherpowerstations．”可知答案为A。

29.A解析：由A中“TheunpopulararchitecturehasledtotheareabeingcalledmeMiltonKeynesofLondonbutpropertiesarespaciousandunfashionablestyle.haskeptpricesdown”可以看出房屋样式古板，但是价位令人比较容易接受。所以此处答案为A。

30.C解析：瓦萨利在文中第一段说到“VasariexpressedanuneasewithBotticelli'swork，…”说明他的态度是反对的，后来在最后一段中间部分“However,HomearguedthatBotticelli…emphasizedcleardepletionofastory,auniqueachievement…”表明霍姆的态度是肯定的。故应选C。

31.A解析：由短文最后一段最后一句可知A不对。

32.A解析：由第四段最后两句话可知，基因并不能决定一切，因此减肥不会因为肥胖基因的干扰而没有任何作用，故A项正确。B项和作者的观点是相反的。D项文中未提到。

33.DD解析：由上下两段综合分析，只有D放在此处符合逻辑。

34.C解析：由C中的第一段第一句话“Chicago，thesecondlargestcityinpopulationintheUnitedStates，”可知答案为C。

35.B解析：第一段中，作者说自己想保存文件，但是光标不动了，死机了。只有把电池拔出强行关机，所以排除A，D。C中说电脑拒绝工作，不合题意。所以本题应选B。

36.C解析：由短文倒数第二段可知美国只有四个州没有importtaxes。美国一共50个州，所以应该有46个有importtaxes。

37.B解析：由B中“Thesesellforanythingbetween￡2millionand￡5million．”，每套住房销售价格在200万英镑到500万英镑之间不等，极其昂贵。所以此处答案为B。

38.C解析：由第一段可知，这张卡片是送报人的，我们被暗示：要填好卡片投递，当你的服务在凌晨四点就被奉上时，你不能若无其事，你必须要直接点，他想要的是假期小费。因此正确答案为C。

39.B解析：由第一段的“Insteadofbeseechingusalltogetvaccinated，they’renowurgingmosthealthypeoplebetweentheagesof2and64,notto．”可以判断出美国之呼吁2至64岁的健康人不接种流感疫苗，而不是所有的美国人，因此答案A是错误的。从第二段最后一句话可以看出疫苗生产厂家无法临时增加疫苗生产不是由于他们不愿意，而是由于受精鸡蛋的生产已经预先计划好，无法提供更多的受精鸡蛋，由此可见答案C是错误的。从第三段第三行“Fluvaccinesareharderthanmosttoproducethisway”可以判断出答案D是错误的，因为流感疫苗比别的疫苗更难用细菌培育的方式生产。而由第三段第2-3行“Themainchallengeistoshiftproductionfromeggsintocellcultures——amediumalreadyusedtomakemostothervaccines．”以及上一句可见，改造疫苗生产工艺的关键在于革新病毒培育技术。因此正确答案为B。

40.C解析：由C中第三段第一句“Regularhighstandardperformancesinmusicanddrama，publicspeakinganddebatingareimportantpreparationforadultlife．”可知，该学校很重视培养学生的语言天赋。

41.D由上一段中的“Edwina…andcalledhimontheinter-com．”可知D中的“…closertotheintercom…”与之呼应。

42.B由B中的后面部分“Themostimportantconstructions．．．HeavenKitchen．．．．0thersofhistoricinterestandscenicbeauty．”可知。

43.A只有A放在此处才能与上一段意思连贯。

44.B由B中的第一段“Theozonelayeristhreatenedbychemicalemissions，theclimateisendangeredfromfossilanddeforestation，…”可知。

45.A由A中内容的introduction中“．．．providingaround20％oftheworld’selectricity．”可知答案为A。2021-2022年陕西省西安市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
