12.Anytraveler/Apeddler/Ashoemaker．

13.Corn

14.B

15.C

16.closeclose解析：显然，不好的习惯是“太靠近桌子”，故应填“近”。

17.whatwhat解析：此题考查what引导的宾语从句。要注意分析句子中的成分，此空为listento后的宾语。所以此处应填引导词“what”。

18.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。

19.withwith解析：endupwith意为“以…结束，以…告终”，为固定短语。

20.atat解析：此题考固定搭配，atone'sdisposal，意为“任某人自由支配、使唤”。所以此处应填介词“at”。

21.butbut解析：此句意为“30岁的人表现出非常不同的握笔方式，…超过40岁的人都统一用三个手指握笔。”显然，此空处表转折。

22.thatthat解析：参见32题解析，idea与bigachievementsrarelycomeeasilyandquickly是同位语，故此空应填that，引导同位语从句。

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

24.dumpingdumping解析：由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质…入河流和湖泊，…”可知，此空处显然应为“倒”。又因为介词后只能用dumping，而不能用dump。

25.productionproduction解析：从前一句话“Themanufacturersgobeyondonlytellingconsumersabouttheirproducts.”可以看出，一方面广告要介绍自己的产品，而第二个目的就是卖掉自己的产品。所以这里作者想要表达的意思是“广告要使得顾客有一种购买的欲望去购买自己的产品。”故答案为production。

26.BB解析：由下一段第一句中提到的“tomato”可知只有B中“Supporterssaythetomato”与之对应。

27.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。

28.A解析：书评一中“Stiglitzargues，what’sneededtomakeglobalizationworkbetterismoreandsmartergovernmentintervention．”这句话我们可以看出。所以本题应选A。

29.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。

30.A解析：由短文最后一段最后一句可知A不对。

31.B解析：由B中的第一段“NewYorkCity，locatedinNewYorkState．isthelargestcityandthechiefportoftheUnitedStates．”可知答案为B。

32.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。

33.A解析：由A中的最后一句话“…takeonaneconomy—wideperspectivetodrawlessonsforagriculture，trade，landuseandtaxpolicy．”可知。

34.A解析：由全文看，作者支持的一种观点是“为所有人创造工作机会是不可能的”。

35.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。

36.D解析：由D中的最后一段倒数第二句话“ThetempleisacombinationofHan，TibetanandNepalesearchitecturaltechniques．”可知。

37.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。

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

39.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。

40.C解析：由第三段中的“Forthosecompaniesusingtechnology，theperdocumentcostofinformationprocessingisonlyafractionofwhatitwasafewyearsago．”可知。

41.C由C中的第一段“Lookatthetitleofthemovie，TeamAmerica：WorldPolice．ThisdefinitelysoundslikeAmerica，thebigbrothertotheworld，whetherpeoplewantUStobeornot．”可知。

42.C文中提到“…thestudents’poorpreparationinhistory，…It’sthebaneofhistoryteachersateverylevel．”。

43.A短文解析

A

奥迪A3是大多数驾驶者最喜欢的车型。车内所有的座椅都十分舒适．前座还可以调节。车视镜视野很广，只是后视镜的视野会受到高后窗线和厚柱的防碍。A3的后座十分灵活，可以自由调节。车的后备箱有大量空间可供存放物品。车内还装有防盗装置，可以吓跑窃贼。缺点是在事故中行李会冲进后座，驾驶者的膝盖也较容易受伤。

B

本田汽车虽然声称其发动机性能极佳，又能省油，但是驾驶者却发现其第五档加速迟缓，而且低转速下性能不佳。本车型驾驶位置差强人意，但后视窗可见性较差。另外，这种车的座椅也不甚舒服，后备箱太小。这种车没有防盗警报，需要购买者另购。在事故中，驾驶者的膝盖容易受伤，但乘客方面不成问题。同时，车内还需装备儿童防护座。

C

罗孚的发动机动力供应很不错，但在高转速下噪声很大。好处是驾驶舒适，操作容易，但是座椅高度不能调节，空间不够也是问题，后视也不是很好。另外，后座设计也有很多问题，这种车的后备箱很小，折叠起来也不容易。无线电控制要更为方便，也有防盗警报。如果受到撞击，部分电线可能会受损，事故中行李也可能会冲进客座。

D

本文介绍的是一种新款轿车——丰田CamryHybrid，作者认为在这个社会，汽油都不会打折，更不用说是各种品牌的汽车了。但是2007款丰田CamryHybrid轿车，一款中型的轿车，美国环保署测定每加仑汽油可行使40英里的耗油量，192马力的驱动，Camry系列的外形，2．4升容量，双凸轮，16阀，四缸引擎，可计时调速。整车还不足31000美元的价格，就算是零售也算的上是一个便宜货。

答案解析：

由A中的“Alltheseatswerecomfortableandthefrontoneswereeasytoadjust．”可知。

44.A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”。

45.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”。2021-2022年辽宁省鞍山市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
