参考答案

1.Borntrained

3.D

4.B

5.Intreetrunk/Underneatharock．

6.A

7.A

8.B

9.A

10.B

11.A

12.B

13.D

14.A

15.C

16.onon解析：dependenceon意为“依赖，依靠”，是固定短语。

17.purposepurpose解析：从文中的第一句话“Themostobviouspurpose…”可以看出后面还有别的目的，而不是仅仅有最明显的目的。故答案为purpose。

18.tastetaste解析：本句意为“我们看得见它，闻得见它，…它，喝它，而且在它中间挣扎。”由常识可知，此空处只有一个“尝”较合适。

19.threatenthreaten解析：由33题解析可以知道此空一定为“威胁”之意。

20.pollpoll解析：此句意为“Synovate市场研发公司的调查显示”，poll的意思为“民意调查”。因此答案为“poll”。

21.creativitycreativity解析：本文是在讲述报酬、表扬与创造性的关系，此句意为“但是小心地使用小量的金钱报酬能激起分级学校孩子们的…”显然，空处应填“创造性”。

22.therebythereby解析：本句句意为“我们也正在污染海洋，杀死了鱼类，…剥夺了我们那无价的食物供应。”显然，此空前后为因果关系，而且depriving前不能用so或其他表因果关系的连词，而只能用介词thereby。

23.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”。

24.towardtoward解析：作者要表达的意思是“我怎么才能对别人诚实。”英语中表达“对某人…”一般是用介词toward。故答案为toward。

25.linklink解析：与37题对应，此处应填link，表明在“near-pointgripping”和“slow，illegiblewriting”之间存在联系。

26.D解析：由D中的第二段第一句话“…thatelementsofitcanbefoundinvirtuallyevery‘organizedcrimefilm’nowadays；．．．”可知。

27.A解析：由短文最后一段最后一句可知A不对。

28.B解析：文章的第三段指出“…providedprivacyprotectionsforcertainsectorsthroughlegislationsuchastheFinancialServicesModernizationAct．”意思就是“象FinancialServicesModernizationAct这样的法案就是国会为了保护别人隐私而设定的。”故应选B。

29.B解析：由文章倒数第二段第一句“TheelectriccatfishoftheNileandofotherAfricanfreshwatershasadifferentsystemagainbywhichcurrentpassesoverthewholebodyfromthetailtothehead．”可知。

30.C解析：由C中的第二段“．．．asubstantialagriculturesector．Whichcontributestodeforestation，theerosionofthetopsoilanddesertification，hasledtoextremepressuresontheenvironmentand…”可知。

31.A解析：由A中的“…theCollegehaspioneeredtheuseofvideoconferencingtechnologyasawayofimprovingitscurriculum．”可知。

32.D解析：文章的第一段最后一句话“Evenwhenanti-academicarthistorians．．．，Botticelli’sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste…．”，就算当时很多正统的艺术风格被批判，波提切利的作品也没有引起重视，认为他的作品不随人们的口味，既满足不了专业人士的品位，也不能满足业余人士的欣赏要求。这里的undervalue的意思是“低估，没有重视”，故应选D。

33.A解析：由A中的最后一句话“…takeonaneconomy-wideperspectivetodrawlessonsforagriculture，trade，landuseandtaxpolicy．”可知。

34.C解析：Stiglitz在经济学领域享有的盛誉，C中“themostprominentandhisemergence”，“acelebratedtheoristwhowasawardedthe2001NobelPrize…”等词都可以看出他的杰出贡献。所以本题应选C。

35.B解析：由B中的后面部分“Themostimportantconstructions…HeavenKitchen,…othersofhistoricinterestandscenicbeauty.”可知。

36.D解析：A、B、C项文中均没有提到。根据第三段的论述，可知D项是惟一正确的。

37.D解析：第四段提到基因疗法遭受的一起挫折——一个病人因接受基因疗法而死亡；接着讲专家担心运动员利用基因在比赛中作弊会进一步tarnish这一领域，从上下文逻辑推理，应该是“有损，玷污”这一类的意思，因此正确答案为D。

38.C解析：这个题考察的是对后面几段的归纳。首先在第三段开始“Dr.MaquetusedanelectronicdevicecalledPET…theypracticedataskduringtheday,andastheysleptduringthefollowingnight.”这是一种对比性的研究方法。后来的第四段最后“…theirresponsetimeswhentheywokeupwereevenquickerthanwhentheywe

39.AA解析：由上段的最后一句话“tookoverthehardphysicaltasksandrelievedthestrainonhumanandanimalmuscles.”可知答案为A，后面选项中的“thelaborthatrequffedthehumaneyes,ears,judgmentandmindbutnosweating”与之呼应，故应选A。

40.DD解析：此处的前一段说明的是一些特殊情况，例如“Thesameistrueofthecrippledorphysicallyhandicapped.”而后面的一段指出“Ofcourse．meoppositeisalsotrue.”也就是说在空白的地方，作者依然在说明这些不寻常的情况，故应选D。

41.Btalkshop意为“谈公事”。

42.D由短文第三段可知，剑桥的Hoyle和他的朋友认为，新物质一直在被创造。

43.CC第二段提到“．．．oftenbeyondtheplayer’scontrol…”。

44.D由D中的advantage内容最后一条“Agoodmethodofsupplyingenergytoremoteareas．”可知答案为D。

45.E由“istheiradvice”这一关键成分可知此空应填E，这样才与“Accordingtoane—Bayspokesperson”对应上。2022-2023年四川省雅安市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
