15.Borntrained

16.whichwhich解析：由37题解析可知此空应为一个引导定语从句的词，即which，其后的定语修饰“several(typesofcontamination)”。

17.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。

18.toto解析：“shift”意为“转变”，“从…到…的转变”应该用介词“to”。所以此处应填“to”。

19.byby解析：由日本政府收集的数据。考查被动语态的用法，“由…”用介词“by”。所以此处应填“by”。

20.reasonsreasons解析：本段的第一句话提出问题，问为什么在结算处摆设了那么多的商品。很明显，后面的文章对这个问题进行回答，并列举了原因。故答案为reasons。

21.againstagainst解析：guardagainst意为“防止，防范，警惕”，为固定短语，against也可以省略。

22.complycomply解析：此处句意为“他们会很懊恼的服从”，表示服从，遵从的短语是complywith。所以此处应填“comply”。

23.andand解析：这三个分词短语是并列的，故中间的连词只能用and。

24.toto解析：talkto的意思是“和某人聊天”，talk这里不及物动词，后面需要接一个介词。在从句中介词不能省略。作者这里要表达的意思是“和那些诚实的平易近人的人聊天是很惬意的。”故答案为to。

25.losinglosing解析：根据上下文的意思，很多年轻一代的日本人已经不再尊重父母，不再对家庭有责任感，所以这里用losing表示“渐渐失去了”。所以此处应填“losing”。

26.D解析：由短文第二段中的“…showedthatthosewithnormalbloodpressureunderwentnochangeatallwhenplacedonanextremelylow—saltdiet，…”可知。

27.D解析：文章开始就指出“…sparkingdebateoverstrikingthecorrectbalancebetweenprotectingcivillibertiesandattemptingtopreventanothertragicterroristact．”这说明作者认为一方面要防止类似的恐怖袭击活动，但另一方面也要注意保护公民的隐私权利，而且这双方面应该取得平衡。故应选D。

28.B解析：由B中“BarnessitsjustacrosstheriverfromHammersmithinsouthwestLondon，butitcouldnotbemoredifferentfromthenoiseandbustleoftheoppositebank．”可以看出Barnes与其对岸喧嚣吵闹的城市完全不同。所以此处答案为B。

29.B解析：由第五段可知虽然美国人声称自己摄入的卡路里量下降，但这并不是真的，故A项是错误的。美国人总是在食物摄入量上撒谎，所以并不能推出他们知道自己吃了多少，故C项不正确。根据最后一段最后一句话可以知道D项不正确。

30.C解析：由文中可知全球技术支持中心跟当地修理店的区别在于，当地修理店效率高，地点近，态度好。题目问的是除了哪个选项以外，其他都是二者的不同。所以本题应选C。

31.D解析：由本文第二段可知A、B、C均正确，只有D不对。

32.C解析：由C中的第二段“Itisnowconsideredthecenterofindustry，transportation，commerceandfinanceinthemid—westarea．”可知答案为C。

33.A解析：本文谈到青少年自杀问题，自杀显然不会是C、D，故排除。cool也并不是这些孩子自杀的目的，只有A合适。

34.AA解析：只有A放在此处才能与上一段意思连贯。

35.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。

36.D解析：由D中的“ValparaisoUniversitycombinesliberalartswithprofessionalstudiesandpromotesservicetoothers”可知。

37.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。

38.C解析：由C中的第一段“Thecityisnowthelargestindustrialcityinthecountry．”可知答案为C。

39.C解析：由第三段最后一句“Lifeinsuranceisan…isnotsubjecttotaxes．incontrasttootherpersonalinvestments．”可知。

40.A解析：文章的主要目的是什么?短文介绍科学家在有关大脑结构方面的研究成果。B、C、D只是片面上的。所以本题应选A。

41.B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。

42.F此空填入F，上下文衔接，意思连贯。

43.A由整篇文章可知，本文主要传达的信息为“食盐致病理论没有道理”。

44.BA

《家有仙妻》这部电影改编于1964—1972年在ABC公司陆续播出的一部情景喜剧。讲的是一个野心勃勃的女巫师与一个凡人的婚姻爱情故事。剧中主角Isabel由NicoleKidman扮演。而Isabel是一名真正的巫师。Isabel厌倦了巫术给自己带来的一切，决定回到SanFemand0山谷中的家，靠自己的双手生活，但是后来却被Wyat发现，让她出演片中的女巫师角色。这样，一个真正的巫师却饰演一个虚构的巫师。

B

二战对于美国乃至世界来说都是一件关键性的事件，它具有很强的影响力，而影片《拯救大兵瑞恩》中的故事就发生在二战期间。米勒将军(汉克斯主演)要去营救四兄弟中最小的一个，也是惟一的幸存者——瑞恩(戴蒙主演)，他认为要通过敌军的封锁线是战争中最大的挑战，但是最艰难的任务是寻找并安全带回瑞恩。这个感人的故事为硝烟弥漫、战事纷杂的l944年涂上一抹庄重的色彩。

C

《美国之队：世界警察》这部电影讽刺了各种的政治观点、主要的电影制作者，甚至别的国家。看这个题目就感觉美国是世界老大，不管别人承认与否。电影场景从法国巴黎开始，通过说明巴黎离美国多远。显示了美国的民族优越感。同时剧情反恐的故事反映了美法之间的紧张局势。随着剧情的展开，美国这种自豪感越发的上升。最后说明天下没有免费的午餐的道理。

D

作者认为《教父》这部电影尽管看了许多次，但是都没有找出瑕疵。从电影的各个角度来说，它被认作是当今最好的5部电影之一。《教父》的影响之大，以至于后来的“团伙犯罪”电影都掺杂了这部影片的电影元素在里面。但是这并不是说这部电影只是一部关于暴力的电影，其他方面，如社会环境、道德价值、灵魂，权势等对人的影响都有所体现。

答案解析:

由B中的第一段最后一句话“Ithasbeencalled‘thelastgreatwar．”’可知。

45.C由C中的“Visibilitywasmarriedbythesmallmirrors．Therearviewwasalsorestrictedbythickpillarsandthesmallrearwindow．”可知。2021年福建省宁德市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
