13.Four

14.C

15.B

16.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”。

17.readyready解析：顾客来到结算处，说明他们准备好了要付账。bereadyto的意思是“准备好了做某事”。故答案为ready。

18.InsteadInstead解析：由本句句意“…修一台烤箱或一台收音机，买一台新的、扔掉旧的更容易、更便宜…”可知，肯定是“不修”，又因为有介词of，所以应填intead。insteadof意为“不做某事”，是固定短语。

19.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。

20.withwith解析：根据对等关系，这里应该与后面的部分“apersonwithagoodunderstanding”相对应。意思是“那些脚踏实地的人往往是那些很了解现实的人。”故答案为with。

21.normalnormal解析：根据上下文可以判断此处句意为“很正常的事情”，因此此处应填“normal”。

22.concernconcern解析：“concernfor”表示“对…关心”。所以此处应填“concern”。

23.werewere解析：考查被动语态的用法，注意分析句子成分。所以此处应填“were”。

24.airair解析：由前面的smog可知，此空处应填与smog相应的物质，又由后面的“hoversovercities”可知，此物质只能是“脏空气”。

25.dailydaily解析：此句意为“但是不要使他们的…工作仅仅成为一长串令人心烦的差使。”显然，此空应填“每日的，日常的”。

26.C解析：由全文可以推断，要指出犯罪率下降的确切原因是很困难的。

27.CC解析：由上下两段看，只有C放在此处可以使上下文衔接，意思连贯。

28.C解析：瓦萨利在文中第一段说到“VasariexpressedanuneasewithBotticelli'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。

29.A解析：由文章第二段“…intheThirdWorldtowardfamilysizeandadawningrealisationthatenvironmentaldegradation…”。

30.D解析：由D中的advantage内容最后一条“Agoodmethodofsupplyingenergytoremoteareas．”可知答案为D.

31.A解析：由A中将打算建“nighttimeeconomy”可以看出。所以此处答案为A。

32.D解析：文章的结尾，作者说我们不知道学校学生的能力和大脑两半球功能之间的确切关系；我们不懂大脑两半球是如何通过corpuscallosum相互作用的；间接地提出对于corpuscallosum的影响，多作研究工作。所以本题应选D。

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

34.A解析：由A中的第一段“Washington，thecapitaloftheUnitedStates，isinWashingtonD．C．”可知答案为A。

35.A解析：第六段中男主人看到清理垃圾的车，误以为是Mickey来了，正要出去澄清误会，把上次的小费补上，却遭到了回收员的蔑视，所以他感到澄清误会的机会是很渺茫了，对于假期小费的事情他已经绝望了。因此正确答案为A。

36.FF解析：后面的一段说明了相反的情况。“Thepersonwearingtheglasses…”与选项中的“…twopeoplewearsdarkglasses”相对应，故应选F。

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

38.A解析：由短文第一段最后一句“…managersandprofessionalsspendmorethanhalfoftheirtimeincommunicatingwitheachother．”可知，作者引用Straussmann的话主要是为了表明交流能力的重要性。

39.B解析：由本文倒数第一段中的“Asfortheastronauts'politicalleanings,theyseemtobetowardstheright.”

40.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。

41.D由D中的第三段第一句话“…thesamegas／electricsystemusedinthePriusandHighlanderHybridSUV”可知。

42.B短文赏析

本文驳斥了关于肥胖无害的说法。一个叫NAAFA的组织声称肥胖对人体无害，即使有害，也没有办法，因为基因决定一切。对此，作者提出了自己的看法，他认为，实验证明肥胖的人要比正常人更加容易患上主要疾病．健康更容易受到损伤。而基因并不会对减肥造成多大的干扰。同时，他还抨击了关于食品摄入量不会影响体重的说法。最后，作者提出了减肥的可行性和fatlash运动的危害。

答案解析:

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faflash运动高涨，故D项是错误的。

43.D由D中的最后一段“Considerations．．．，0nhowviolencecandestroyahumansoul，．．．”可知。

44.A由A中的最后一句话“…withafictionalTVwitchbeingplayedbyanhonest-to-Godreallifewitch．”可知。

45.Dfib意为“撒小谎”。2021年吉林省白城市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
