参考答案

1.B

2.Three．

3.C

4.Duringthe1960s．

5.A

6.B

7.D

8.A

9.Theirmemory

10.A

11.South(and)EastAsia/S(+)EAsia/(NOTSouth-eastAsia)．South(and)EastAsia/S(+)EAsia/(NOTSouth-eastAsia)．

12.100years．

13.Artandscience

14.A

15.B

16.stillstill解析：本句意为“但是空气污染，尽管它…是最危险的，但也只是几种攻击最基本生活功能的污染方式之一。”显然，可知此空应填“仍然”。

17.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。

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

19.betweenbetween解析：“…relation…actionsandtheirconsequences”意为“…行动和它们的结果…关系”，空处显然缺“之间”。

20.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”。

21.fastfast解析：由上一句句意“不耐心代表了年轻的脑力工作者们的特点。”可知，本句“他们想…成名”中的空处应填“快速地”。

22.foundfound解析：此句意为“1,000名受访者中有70%的发现，相对于其他设备来说，在使用手机时人们表现出最差的礼仪”，所以答案为“found”。

23.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。”

24.WarmWarm解析：由此句中的“contrastiveviews”可知，观点是相对的，此空所在短句意为“从…赞扬到冷酷的批评”，显然，应是“热烈的”。

25.farfar解析：能修饰too的副词只有far或much。

26.EE解析：由此空上段的最后一句话“Eachwillveerslightlyandthepassingisdonesmoothly.”可知，当两人接近时应该慢慢的把目光转向别的地方。而后面的一段接着说“thissignal”，也就是选项中的“Itrustyou.Iamnotafraidofyou.”故此处应选E。

27.C解析：由第二段中的“Second，theyhavetoadoptacomputersystemcalled…”可知。

28.C解析：由C中的第二段“Onthesouthwall,visitorswillseeanedictsignedwiththeGreatFifth'shandprint.”可知。

29.A解析：由A中“TheunpopulararchitecturehasledtotheareabeingcalledtheMiltonKeynesofLondonbutpropertiesarespaciousandunfashionablestyle.haskeptpricesdown”可以看出房屋样式古板，但是价位令人比较容易接受。所以此处答案为A。

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

31.C解析：由短文第三段中“Theindustrialagemaynowbecomingtoanend，andsomeofthechangesinworkpatternswhichitbroughtmayhavetobereversed．”可知。

32.D解析：由D中的最后一段“andsoistodescribeitsimplyasamovieaboutgangsters．”可知。

33.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。

34.B解析：由短文第三段第一句“Incometaxesarethemainsourceoffederalrevenues．”。

35.B解析：由B中“Thesesellforanythingbetween￡2millionand￡5million．”，每套住房销售价格在200万英镑到500万英镑之间不等，极其昂贵。所以此处答案为B。

36.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。

37.D解析：由D中的第三段“Theauthorarguesthatpollutioniscontrolledbyincreasingtherelativepriceofthepollutinggoodsintheproductionprocess”可知。

38.A解析：文章第一句话对用基因疗法治疗Ashanthi所患罕见疾病的成功给与了很高的评价，并在第一段未指出医生们对基因疗法寄予了极高的期望。因此正确答案为A。

39.A解析：由第四段最后两句话可知，基因并不能决定一切，因此减肥不会因为肥胖基因的干扰而没有任何作用，故A项正确。B项和作者的观点是相反的。D项文中未提到。

40.A解析：划线单词所在句子句意为“事情的另一面是：保险公司已经开发了一些很有创造性的，能与其他替代产品，诸如投资竞争的产品。它们能够满足任何一种全面投资计划的需求。”可见“它们”即指“creativeandcompetitiveinsuranceproducts”。

41.A由全文看，作者在讲述一种观点：当联合国(UN)犹豫不决时，第三世界已经采取了行动。

42.C由文章第二段可知C不对，而A、B、D文中均提到了。

43.B文章一开始就说“．．．suggeststhatwidespreadappreciationbycriticsisarelativelyrecentphenomenon．”桑德罗·波提切利作品被关注是最近才有的现象，接下来作者说明被抛弃的原因以及重新被认识的原因。所以整篇文章都是围绕它的作品是如何被拒绝后来又被欣赏的。故应选B。

44.A由上下两段可知，只有A放在此处可以使上下文衔接，意思顺畅。

45.B由短文第三段第一句“Incometaxesarethemainsourceoffederalrevenues．”。2022-2023年陕西省西安市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
