14.A

15.A

16.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”。

17.drinkingdrinking解析：由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质倒入河流和湖泊，我们已经污染了我们的…水。”显然，此空处应为“饮用”。

18.toto解析：besubjectedto为固定搭配，“使遭受，使服从”的意思，要学会跨过其他成分寻找主干。所以此处应填介词“to”。

19.farfar解析：可用于修饰“toolittle”的只能是far，意为“太少，特别少”。

20.oppositeopposite解析：从文章第二段的内容可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson和那些表面上装的很重要的人物正好相反。所以这里应填“相反的”，故答案为opposite。

21.boughtbought解析：本句的前一句话说“顾客认为他们需要一些他们其实不需要的商品。”这就是广告的作用。但是买完之后，“他们却不知道当时为什么买了这种商品。”这里是被动的句式。故答案为bought。

22.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。

23.toto解析：revertto意为“重想，重提”，此句意为“如果你经常提到‘我们以前已经试着这样做了，但是不管用’就会很快地挫伤这种好问的头脑”。

24.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。

25.underunder解析：underguidance意为“在…指导下”，为固定短语。

26.B解析：由B中的第一段“Globalenvironmentalproblemsariseoutoftheaccumulatedimpactsfrommanyyears’andmanycountries’economicdevelopment．”可知。

27.B解析：由B中的第二段“Thecitywithitsgoodharborwasdiscoveredasearlyas1524，anditwasestablishedbyDutchwhonamedthecityNewAmsterdam．”可知答案为B。

28.B解析：由B中的第一段“Theozonelayeristhreatenedbychemicalemissions，theclimateisendangeredfromfossilanddeforestation…．”可知。

29.D解析：由第一段中的“Forsomeyears，startinginNewYork…”可知。

30.BB解析：该空缺下面的段落都是对每一个“myth”的揭示。谁来揭示呢?B项中提到牛津大学老龄化研究中心成立各个问题研究组。

31.BB解析：该空缺之前讲的是毒藤的过敏反应是滞后的，不是马上产生的。接下来的相关信息是不同的人敏感度不一样，过敏反应发生的时间也会不一样。所以本题应选B。

32.B解析：由短文第一段中的“Andaccordingtolegend，therewasaTurkishrulerwho…Topayfortheweal"andtearonhisteeth．”。

33.D解析：“bitingone’snails”的意思是“一筹莫展”，通过后面的表述，“mostofherclientsspend$12to$50weekly，…”可以看出Spero并不是到了没有顾客的地步，只是越来越少，所以他并没有到达绝望的处境。故应选D。

34.B解析：文章第三段最后两句话“Moreover，itbecomesunworkable…theInternetdoesnotknowgeographicboundaries，andcompaniesandindividualscannotbeexpectedtocomplywithdiffering，andattimesconflicting，privacyrules．”这说明各州制定的法律是不好实施的，因为网络是不具有地域限制的。这种法律不能仅仅限制在某个州的范围之内

35.B解析：由文章第一段第一句“Insuranceissupposedtoprovideprotectionagainstfinancialrisks…”可知。

36.FF解析：从后面的first，second等字眼可以看出答案为F，因为选项中的“This，ofcourse，willintroducetwovitalsetsofproblem—isalreadyintroducingthem．”相对应。故应选F。

37.B解析：从文章的第三段可以看出，“Homepricesareholdingsteadyinmostregions.”作者在这一段主要说明房子等不动产的价格、利润等方面，所以“the$4millionto$10millionrange”说的是不动产。故应选B。

38.D解析：书评一中的“…heignoressomekeyargumentsinfavorofthemarket…”，书评二中的“Whilepartsofthisbookaredisappointinglyshallow…”，书评三种的“Stiglitz，58，ishardlythefirstpersontoaccusetheIMF…”都有提到Stiglitz的一些负面的消息。所以本题应选D。

39.A解析：由短文最后一段中的“Andthattransitioncouldprovedifficult，forswitchingrequireslengthyresearchandinvestment．”。

40.A解析：原文对应信息是：“Even…Tallyadmitsit'salittlescary，especiallysinceshe'llretireandKatiewillgotocollegeataroundthesametime．”意为“面临自己将要退休，同时孩子要上大学，这确实有点令人害怕。”我们可知Tally对支付自己女儿的学费有点害怕。B、C、D均不是作者想要表达的原因。所以本题应选A。

41.B短文赏析

对于一般人来说，最大的一种风险就是早逝。因此，购买人寿保险是最为划算也是最为廉价的一种选择。但是，保险公司的投保品种却不止这一种。投资于保险可以免税。但是，保险作为一种投资也有缺点，就是承保范围可能会需要费用成本。很多公司的大病保险可以立即支付1/4的保费，但保险业在提供多种产品的同时也使选择更加复杂化和困难。

答案解析:

由文章第一段第一句“Insuranceissupposedtoprovideprotectionagainstfinancialrisks…”可知。

42.A由此空的上下两段可以得到答案。上段说的如何去看人的两种方法，而后面的一段接着说的地点问题。所以这里的“dependingonwherethemeetingtakesplace．”符合句意，故应选A。

43.D由短文第二段中的“UndertheWTO，membersarerequiredtoreducetheirtariffandnon．tariffsonmanufacturinggoods．”可知。

44.A短文赏析

本文讨论了妇女权益保护法案对于妇女的保护作用。作者认为，法律通过之后，对于妇女的保护不是增多了，而是减少了。因为有了法律支持，雇主就可以以健康、能力等原因拒绝给与妇女工作。限制妇女工作时间的法律也帮助雇主达到了这些目的。同时，工作场所内的妇女也没有应有的保护。因此作者认为，妇女的劳动保护法律是有歧视性的，并没有发挥预想的作用。如果法律不能满足妇女的健康、工资和安全工作场所的权利，就违反了妇女受到平等保护的说法。

答案解析:

从第二段前两句话可以看出，妇女被以能力和需要的理由劝离工厂，故A项正确。没有足够的工作给老兵不是由限制妇女工作时间的法律造成的，所以B项不正确。C项文中没有提及。根据文章第三段可知妇女的健康不是改善了，而是下降了，故D项也不正确。

45.D短文赏析

本文讨论了社会围绕基因工程进行的争论。现在，转基因食品越来越多，不断有新的植物品种被通过基因工程改良。制造这些新事物的科学家们认为基因工程只是拓展了动植物的繁育方法，扩大基因变化的范围不会降低事物的安全性，并且会使人们在分子层面上更好地理解生命系统。根本不存在因被滥用而造成危险的可能性。研究产量更高的食品是由利益驱动的，但这也是由消费者的不断需要造成的。然而转基因食品在很多国家受到抵制，因为这种技术并没有得到验证，人们也尚不了解它们对于人类生物学的长期影响。素食者和有特殊宗教信仰的人可能会在不知情的情况下食用禁忌食品。新的转基因植物可能会破坏自然环境。动物福利组织对于农场动物的生活质量也表示关切。虽然存在很多恐惧，但是基因工程确实能够帮助解决一些严重的医学和农业问题。

答案解析:

由上一段中提到的“．．．whengeneticallymixedwithawildstrainofmushroom…”可知，只有E放在此处才能使上下段衔接，意思连贯。2021年辽宁省沈阳市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
