13.A
14.D
15.C
16.themthem解析:本题考查代词的用法,根据上下文,此处句意为“人们使用这些小玩意儿。”上文已经提到gadgets,所以这里用代词“them”代替。
17.asas解析:such…as意为“这样的…如”。此空后为并列的三个分词短语,即“如”后跟的例举事项。
18.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。
19.onon解析:“…的决定”英语表达为“decisiononsth.”这里介词需要用on。故答案为on。
20.differencedifference解析:显然,这句话是在对老年人和年轻人写字之间进行比较,而且由后半句中的"getbetterat…”可知,此空必为“不同的”。
21.promisingpromising解析:此句意为“一家大制造公司最近采访了许多…的工程师,这些工程师都已离开这家公司。”由上下句判断,此空处填“有希望的,有前景的”最合句意。
22.SometimeSometime解析:通过对后面句子的分析,我们可以知道那些想入非非、飘飘欲仙的人有朝一日也是可以“双脚落地的”,那就是“sharpwordsfromteacher”,所以这里表示的是“有朝一日”,故答案为sometime。
23.whatwhat解析:解析同上。这里是一个名词性从句,what在句中做主语。故答案为what。
24.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”。
25.betweenbetween解析:“…relation…actionsandtheirconsequences”意为“…行动和它们的结果…关系”,空处显然缺“之间”。
26.A解析:由A中的“…theCollegehaspioneeredtheuseofvideoconferencingtechnologyasawayofimprovingitscurriculum.”可知。
27.B解析:由B内容中的itisrenewable中“NuclearenergyfromUraniumisnotrenewable.”可知答案为B。
28.B解析:由第一段可知,两人是因为肥胖而被送进医院的,故B项正确。A、C项文章中未提到。两个病人不能证明fatlash运动高涨,故D项是错误的。
29.A解析:由第二段最后一句话可知A项正确。B项不能从文中推知。C项文中没有提及。男性工人的健康在法律中是得到考虑了的,故D项不正确。
30.B解析:由短文第四段第一句“…the17thand18thcenturiesmademanypeopledependentonpaidworkbydeprivingthemoftheuseoftheland,…”可知。
31.B解析:文章最后一段第二句话“Competitionsometimesencouragesfeelingsofsuspicionratherthanthemutualtrustthatisnecessaryforsuccessfulnationalcooperation.”说明竞争有时会助长怀疑的意识,而不是合作需要的相互信任。故应选B。
32.A解析:由A中advantage第一句话“Hydro-electricpowerstationscanincreasetofullpowerveryquickly,unlikeotherpowerstations.”可知答案为A。
33.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。
34.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
35.C解析:文章第三段指出“ItisfarmoredifficultforAmericanstoacceptsharedsacrificeforthecommongoodandwell-beingoftheentirecountry.”,接着作者给出一个例子,证明美国人不会为了国家的利益而放弃个人的利益。故应选C。
36.A解析:由文章第二段“…intheThirdWorldtowardfamilysizeandadawningrealisationthatenvironmentaldegradation…”。
37.A解析:由短文最后一段中的“Andthattransitioncouldprovedifficult,forswitchingrequireslengthyresearchandinvestment.”。
38.A解析:第二段第二句“Mainlybecauseprivatecompanieshavehadlittleincentivetopursueit.”意思是说“私企生产流感疫苗的积极性不高”。接下来作者介绍了制作疫苗的复杂工序,由此可以推断出流感疫苗生产工艺复杂、成本高。第二段又明确指出了私企不愿意生产流感疫苗的其他原因:利润率低、需求不稳定、此外由于流感病毒每年都不同,因此生产数量不能过大,由此也可推断出生产的风险性大,如果生产多了就会损失很大。因此正确答案为A。
39.A解析:由A中advantage第一句话“Hydro-electricpowerstationscanincreasetofullpowerveryquickly,unlikeotherpowerstations.”可知答案为A。
40.C解析:由C中“It'spopularbecauseitisstillaffordable,althoughpriceshaverocketedoverthelastyear.”可以看出WillesdenGreen去年飞速增长,但是房价还能接受。所以此处答案为C。
41.C瓦萨利在文中第一段说到“VasariexpressedalluneasewithBotticelli’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。
42.B由B中的第一段“Globalenvironmentalproblemsariseoutoftheaccumulatedimpactsfrommanyyears’andmanycountries’economicdevelopment.”可知。
43.C文中提到“Onhis30-minutecommute,...dreamupnewwaysof…”。
44.C由下一段“FirstIhadtoregistermy…”可知,此处填“IwaslookingforaguitarandthisiswhatIdid.”正好与下文衔接。
45.B由B中的第一句“HondasaysitsspecialVTECenginehasawinningcombinationofeconomyandperformance,...”可知。2021年河南省商丘市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________

16.themthem解析:本题考查代词的用法,根据上下文,此处句意为“人们使用这些小玩意儿。”上文已经提到gadgets,所以这里用代词“them”代替。
17.asas解析:such…as意为“这样的…如”。此空后为并列的三个分词短语,即“如”后跟的例举事项。
18.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。
