15.Inhisoffice

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.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。

18.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。

19.populationpopulation解析：由下一句“越来越多的人正在制造更多的垃圾。”可知，此处应指“膨胀的人口”，即explodingpopulation。

20.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”。

21.farfar解析：可用于修饰“toolittle”的只能是far，意为“太少，特别少”。

22.displaydisplay解析：这里要回应本段第一句话中的“displayed”。在出口结算处展示的这些小商品无疑是一种诱惑。这里需要用名词形式。故答案为display。

23.suchsuch解析：“poorposture，leaningtoo…tothedesk，using…”均是对characteristics的举例说明，而举例用英语说应为“suchas”。

24.threatenthreaten解析：由33题解析可以知道此空一定为“威胁”之意。

25.onon解析：此题也考查介词的用法，在电话中交谈，一般用onthephone。所以此处应填介词“on”。

26.B解析：由第五段可知虽然美国人声称自己摄入的卡路里量下降，但这并不是真的，故A项是错误的。美国人总是在食物摄入量上撒谎，所以并不能推出他们知道自己吃了多少，故C项不正确。根据最后一段最后一句话可以知道D项不正确。

27.A解析：由A中advantage第一句话“Hydro-electricpowerstationscanincreasetofullpowerveryquickly，unlikeotherpowerstations.”可知答案为A。

28.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。

29.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。

30.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

31.B解析：由B中的disadvantage中“Althoughnotmuchwasteisproduced,itisvery，verydangerous.Itmustbesealedupandburiedformanyyearstoallowtheradioactivitytodieaway.”可知答案为B。

32.A解析：由短文最后一段最后一句可知A不对。

33.C解析：由C中的howitworks中的第一条“Thiswasoriginallydevelopedinordertoprovideelectricityforsatellites…．．”可知答案为C。

34.B解析：由B中的第四句话“ThenorthernpartoftheTempleiscircularwhilethesouthernpartissquare,”可知。

35.A解析：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”。

36.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。

37.A解析：第二段中女主人写了一封漂亮的假期贺词给这个她从来没看到或遇到过的人。这个人在她的想象里就是像射击一样把《纽约时报》发射到她家门前，制造的噪声要大于人们从黑市购得的鞭炮的声响。所以她确实不喜欢拉乌尔投递报纸的这种方式。因此正确答案为A。

38.D解析：由D中的第三段“Inthesecondpart，thediscussionisextendedtoincludethepossibilitiesofpreventingorabatingemissionsinrelationtothreemodels:…”可知。

39.D解析：此题问技术员的回答如何。文章中“ButIdoneedit．”“Yes．butyoudon’thaveit．”Wewentonlikethisforawhile．Finally，heofferedtowalkmethrough…可以看出“技术员最后是在敷衍作者，没有提出一个合理的解决办法”。所以本题应选D。

40.C解析：通过全文的理解，我们可以发现作者在列数了经济形势不好的局面之后，也表明了人们对此依然存在着乐观态度，有的人还能从中受益，所以作者的态度应该是“对此加以注意，但不要惶恐。”故应选C。

41.B由B中的disadvantage中“Althoughnotmuchwasteisproduced，itisvery，verydangerous．Itmustbesealedupandburiedformanyyearstoallowtheradioactivitytodieaway”可知答案为B。

42.D由D中的第三段“Theauthorarguesthatpollutioniscontrolledbyincreasingtherelativepriceofthepollutinggoodsintheproductionprocess”可知。

43.B由此空下面一段段意及B中的“．．．Itseemed，Edwinathought…”可知B与下一段前后呼应。

44.D短文赏析

9．11事件后，网络隐私问题成为了一个急需解决的问题。人们为找到保护公民自由和防止类似的恐怖事件之间的平衡而争论不休。为了应对恐怖袭击，国会通过一系列的法律对各种形式的交流进行监控，但这引来了公民隐私权的侵犯问题。在不断的反对声中，尽管各州政府设立法律保护公民的网络隐私，但是联邦却没有出台明确的法律，所以并不能对无界限的网络隐私起到实质性的保护作用。作者认为政府也应该采取法律措施对网站采集顾客个人信息的做法进行一定的管理。

答案解析:

文章开始就指出“…sparkingdebateoverstrikingthecorrectbalancebetweenprotectingcivillibertiesandattemptingtopreventanothertragicterroristact．”这说明作者认为一方面要防止类似的恐怖袭击活动，但另一方面也要注意保护公民的隐私权利，而且这双方面应该取得平衡。故应选D。

45.A由A中的第一段“Thepopulationofthecityisabout800，000anditcoversanareaofover69squaremiles．”可知答案为A。2022年湖北省黄石市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
