12.A

13.B

14.B

15.Totakeinformation.

16.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。

17.thatthat解析:此空后的内容为maintain的内容,即此空后的句子为maintain的宾语,应填一个可引导宾语从句的词。

18.surveysurvey解析:根据后面的数据,空缺处指的是1993年的一项调查问卷,所以此处应填“survey”。

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

20.personperson解析:本句话的意思是“与此相反的一类人是那些想入非非的人。”根据上下文的要求这里应该填入man的同义词。故答案为person。

21.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”。

22.takestakes解析:要注意时态,这里意为“占据”,所以所以此处应填“takes”。

23.gogo解析:gotoone’sheads的意思是“展现、表现”,俗语。用在文中表示“把…写在脸上”,生怕别人不知道的显摆。故答案为go。

24.whosewhose解析:此句意为“StephanieThomas,一位学习辅导老师,…发现已经发表了…。”由此可知,空处所填单词必为whose,引导定语从句,修饰teacher。

25.itit解析:本句意为“‘污染’意思是弄脏——表层土或什么东西,通过引进杂质,这使…不健康或不干净。”显然,此空处应指topsoilorsomething,因为前面已出现,所以用it来代替。

26.FF解析:由此空上下文可以看出,选项中只有F放在此处符合逻辑,上下文才能连贯。

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

28.FF解析:此空填入F,上下文衔接,意思连贯。

29.B解析:由短文第一段最后一句“Exoticplastics,glassandceramicswillshapethefuturejustassurelyashavegeneticengineeringandcomputerscience.”可知,本文提到了三种新材料。

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

31.A解析:由短文最后一段中的“Andthattransitioncouldprovedifficult,forswitchingrequireslengthyresearchandinvestment.”。

32.D解析:由本文第二段可知A、B、C均正确,只有D不对。

33.C解析:Stiglitz在经济学领域享有的盛誉,C中“themostprominentandhisemergence”,“acelebratedtheoristwhowasawardedthe2001NobelPrize…”等词都可以看出他的杰出贡献。所以本题应选C。

34.D解析:由D中的第二段第一句话“…thatelementsofitcanbefoundinvirtuallyevery‘organizedcrimefilm’nowadays;…”可知。

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

36.D解析:原文对应信息是:“Eagertoboosttheirmagazinerankings,whicharebasedinpartonthetestscoresOfenteringfreshmen.they'rethrowingmoreaidatsmarterkids—whethertheyneeditornot.”该句话说明“学校为了提高其杂志排名,就给那些比较聪明的孩子经济上给予较大的帮助,不管他们需不需要帮助”。由此可以看出,急需帮助的学生并不一定就能

37.A解析:作者的态度从文章第一句话和最后一句话就可以明显判断出来。第一句话说基因疗法是20世纪的伟大成就之一,最后一句话说“Everybodyrecognizesthatgenetherapyisaverygoodidea”,由此可见作者对基因疗法持积极乐观的态度。因此正确答案为A。

38.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。

39.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”。

40.BB解析:由下一段第—句“Thepoker-lovingLouis-Dreyfusknew…”可知此空处填B最合适,因为“Louis-Dreyfus,scionof…”必定在下一段之前逻辑上才讲得通。

41.D由D中的第一段“itreallyisnotmuchofasurprisethatitisnowconsideredbymanyoneofthetopfivemoviesofalltime.”可知。

42.A从文章最后一句话“BecauseofHome’semphasiscrucialtoanystudyofart,thetwentiethcenturyhascometoappreciateBotticelli’sachievements.”可以看出,作者认为波提切利的作品在二十一世纪会被重新的认识,人们会重新认识他作品的成就。故应选A。

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

44.A同样,根据上下两段意思推知,此处只有A可以将上下两段连接上。

45.C由C中的howitworks中的第一条“Thiswasoriginallydevelopedinordertoprovideelectricityforsatellites,….”可知答案为C。安徽省巢湖市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
