参考答案

1.A

2.Theyaredifferent.

3.A

4.A

5.NorthernEurope/NorthAmerica.

6.B

7.B

8.A

9.A

10.A

11.A

12.B

13.A

14.A

15.A

16.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。

17.waswas解析:此空显然应是句子的谓语成分,应填动词的过去式。

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

19.oftenoften解析:本句话的意思是“那些自我感觉很了不起、内心充满骄傲的人,总是不需要理由的就被人认为是趾高气扬的人。”故这里答案为often。

20.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。放答案为display。

21.ofof解析:deprivesb.ofsth.为固定短语,意为“剥夺某人的某东西(或某权利)”。

22.thethe解析:此处缺冠词,在年轻人之间,用the表示特指。所以此处应填“the”。

23.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”。

24.importantimportant解析:从本句后面的一句话可以看出,Adown-to-earthperson就算是重要的人物,他们也不会把这种显赫写在脸上。所以前面应填important。故答案为important。

25.beingbeing解析:avoiddoingsth.意为“避免…”,avoid后必须跟名词或动名词。beovercritical意为“过分挑剔的”。

26.D解析:由D中的“ValparaisoUniversitycombinesliberalartswithprofessionalstudiesandpromotesservicetoothers”可知。

27.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。

28.B解析:根据第三段和第四段的论述,我们可以得知作者的总体看法,即特别的劳工防护法并没有保护妇女的权益,故B项正确。A项与作者的观点明显相悖,所以不正确。C项从文中不能推知,故不正确。文中没有提到男性工人的保护问题,故D项也不正确。

29.B解析:原文的第三段最后“Whattheydidnotknow…followedapattern--whatisreferredtoas”artificialgrammar“.Yetthereductionsinresponsetimeshowedthat…”说明了这种内在模式,也就是“artificialgrammar”,对于记忆的重要性。故应选B。

30.B解析:第一段中,作者说自己想保存文件,但是光标不动了,死机了。只有把电池拔出强行关机,所以排除A,D。C中说电脑拒绝工作,不合题意。所以本题应选B。

31.B解析:此题是有关作者态度的问题。由第5、6段可以看出女客服的回答两人很不满,很沮丧。所以本题应选B。

32.D解析:deforestation意为“滥伐森林”。

33.EE解析:由上下两段可知,只有E放在此处可使上下文衔接。

34.BB解析:该空缺下面的段落都是对每一个“myth”的揭示。谁来揭示呢?B项中提到牛津大学老龄化研究中心成立各个问题研究组。

35.BB解析:该空缺之前讲的是毒藤的过敏反应是滞后的,不是马上产生的。接下来的相关信息是不同的人敏感度不一样,过敏反应发生的时间也会不一样。所以本题应选B。

36.D解析:由整篇短文的主旨“低盐并不适于所有人”可知,此处“eventheveryvocal‘lowsalt’exponent”意为“即使是强力推荐的‘低盐’”。

37.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。

38.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。

39.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。

40.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。

41.C由C中的第二段“ThispartrepresentsthetensionsbetweenAmericaandFrance.”可知。

42.C由第三段中的“Forthosecompaniesusingtechnology,theperdocumentcostofinformationprocessingisonlyafractionofwhatitwasafewyearsago.”可知。

43.C由短文第三段中“Theindustrialagemaynowbecomingtoanend,andsomeofthechangesinworkpatternswhichitbroughtmayhavetobereversed.”可知。

44.A由短文最后一段中的“Andthattransitioncouldprovedifficult.forswitchingrequireslengthyresearchandinvestment.”。

45.C由C中的第一段“Thecityisnowthelargestindustrialcityinthecountry.”可知答案为C。广东省河源市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
