8.C

9.C

10.B

11.Sixmonths

12.A

13.B

14.B

15.C

16.onon解析：focuson意为“集中于”，为固定短语。

17.fromfrom解析：keepsth．fromdoingsth．意为“防止某事…”，为固定短语。

18.toto解析：“attributeto”意为“把某事归因于”，为固定搭配，所以此处应填“to”。

19.wherewhere解析：此题考查where引导的定语从句，修饰前面提到的plane，trainorbus。所以此处应填关系副词“where”。

20.dividedivide解析：根据上下文语境，这里是“分为”，divide…upinto意为“把…划分为”。所以此处应填动词“divide”。

21.gogo解析：gotoone'sheads的意思是“展现、表现”，俗语。用在文中表示“把…写在脸上”，生怕别人不知道的显摆。故答案为go。

22.ofof解析：“对现实的了解”的英文表达是“theunderstandingofreality”，这里的介词用of。故答案为of。

23.withoutwithout解析：此处意为年轻人更喜欢没有重大责任的简单工作。所以此处应填“without”。

24.ofof解析：beofthesame…意为“是一样…”，此句意为“…在正确的指导下，他们能继续学习，继续通过干许多一样复杂的工作而获得多样性。”

25.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。

26.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。

27.A解析：由文章第四段中的“Anotherfamousexampleistheelectriceel．Thisfishgivesanevenmorepowerfulshock．”可知。

28.A解析：由A中的第一段最后一句话“Atpresent,thePalaceisanelaboratemuseumthatpresentsthelargestandmostcompleteensembleoftraditionalarchitecture…”可知。

29.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。

30.B解析：由B中的第二段最后几句话“Millerisorderedtotakehissquadbehindenemylinesonadangerousmissiontofindandretrieveoneman：PrivateJamesRyan．”可知。

31.A解析：由第三段中所举的GTE的例子可知“efficienttechnologyiscost-effective”。

32.B解析：同样，由短文第一段最后一句可知作者提到基因工程和计算机科学就是为了表明新材料对未来世界的重要性。

33.CC解析：由上一段最后一句“Iwanttoputmymoneyinthebank．”可知对话发生在银行，只有C符合。

34.A解析：文中提到“…urgedcautioninensuringthateffortstoprotectournationdonotresultinbroadgovernmentauthoritytoerodeprivacyrightsofU.S.citizens．”其意思是“保护国家的利益也不应该伤害美国居民的个人隐私权利”，可知作者认为这项提议是不公正的。故应选A。

35.B解析：根据第三段和第四段的论述，我们可以得知作者的总体看法，即特别的劳工防护法并没有保护妇女的权益，故B项正确。A项与作者的观点明显相悖，所以不正确。C项从文中不能推知，故不正确。文中没有提到男性工人的保护问题，故D项也不正确。

36.EE解析：文章的最后一段中指出“averyfew”、“theelitefew”，而选项中的“averysmallgroupof‘scholars’”也正是指出了这种情况，故应选E。

37.B解析：由第四段第二句“Thegovernmentestimatesthat95millionpeoplestillqualifyforshotsunderthevoluntaryrestrictionsannouncedlastweek．”中可以知道大约有九千五百万人有资格注射疫苗。根据第四段第三句：“That'snearlytwicethenumberofdosesthatclinicswillhaveonhand，butonly60millio

38.D解析：由D中“King'sCrossusedtoberenownedforproblemsincludingdrugs，prostitutionandstreetcrime”，意为“KingCross过去因吸毒，卖淫和街头犯罪等问题而著称”我们可以看出。所以此处答案为D。

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

40.D解析：选项A意思不准确，文中提到公立大学和私立大学的学费问题，但并没有表明家长的态度和倾向；选项B意思不对，文中对应信息是第二段；申请贷款并不是无条件的，这是选项C的错误所在。综观全文，可以看出传统意义上的奖学金还是很有吸引力的。所以本题应选D。

41.A由A中的第一句话“‘Bewitched’isapainfully

42.B由B中的第三段第二句话“NewYorkhasbecomeoneoftheworld’sbusiestportsandalsothefinancial，manufacturing，andtravelcenterofthecountry．”可知答案为B。

43.B由B中的第一段“Globalenvironmentalproblemsariseoutoftheaccumulatedimpactsfrommanyyears’andmanycountries’economicdevelopment．”可知。

44.D文章最后一段指出，“Congressshouldpasslegislation…，allowcustomerstooptoutofsuchdatacollection，and…．”，意思就是说国会应该要求网站公示收集用户隐私信息的政策，通过何种方式收集的，告诉用户怎么才能避开这些信息收集以及怎么查阅所收集的信息等等内容。optout的意思是“避开、避免”。故应选D。

45.C这是一个关于作者态度的综合分析题。作者尽管提到有困难，但科学家们正在谈论克服困难的办法而且非常努力，并且作者最后说道“Thatcouldprovetobeatrue‘miraclecure”’，当真正使用克隆技术为人类治疗的时候，那将会是真正的“神奇医疗”。故应选C。2022-2023年广东省揭阳市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
