13.Completelyseparate/exclusive

14.A

15.A

16.SometimeSometime解析：通过对后面句子的分析，我们可以知道那些想入非非、飘飘欲仙的人有朝一日也是可以“双脚落地的”，那就是“sharpwordsfromteacher”，所以这里表示的是“有朝一日”，故答案为sometime。

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.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。

19.customercustomer解析：从这个句子的宾语“…thatheorshehasdoneagoodjobofchoosingtheitems．”可以看出，这里说的是顾客的行为，他们认为自己买这些商品是很理性的。故答案为customer。

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

21.thoughthough解析：参见47题解析，由本句句意“…更便宜，…它的95%的部件仍可以使用。”可知，此空处应填“尽管，即使”，即eventhough。

22.killingkilling解析：本句意为“通过无控制地使用杀虫剂，人类已经污染了土地，…野生动物。”显然，此空处应填“杀害”，但不能填kill，因为英语中无连词时不可能有两个谓语，故应填killing，killingthewildlife是现在分词做伴随状语。

23.lookinglooking解析：与介词for的固定搭配，意为“寻求…”，这里指的是寻求新的价值观。所以此处应填“looking”。

24.happinesshappiness解析：根据上下文，日本年轻人更看重追求个人的幸福。所以此处应填“happiness”。

25.therebythereby解析：本句句意为“我们也正在污染海洋，杀死了鱼类，…剥夺了我们那无价的食物供应。”显然，此空前后为因果关系，而且depriving前不能用so或其他表因果关系的连词，而只能用介词thereby。

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

27.B解析：本文第一句提到“TodayTVaudiencesallovertheworldareaccustomedtothesightofAmericanastronautsintip-topcondition．withfairhair．crew—cuts．goodteethand．．．”。

28.C解析：由文章中作者描述联合国世界领导人会议的口气看，他对待该会议的态度应是critical的。

29.A解析：由A中的第一段“Thepopulationofthecityisabout800，000anditcoversanareaofover69squaremiles．”可知答案为A。

30.EE解析：由上一段中提到的“…whengeneticallymixedwithawildstrainofmushroom…”可知，只有E放在此处才能使上下段衔接，意思连贯。

31.EE解析：文章第一段讲述了毒藤会使人过敏产生疹子，第三段提到85％的人对毒藤中的umshiol过敏，选项E介绍了urushiol一词的来源，并且介绍了毒藤使人过敏的根本原因就是毒藤中含有这种化学物质。所以本题应选E。

32.C解析：由C中的第二段“．．．asubstantialagriculturesector．Whichcontributestodeforestation，theerosionofthetopsoilanddesertification，hasledtoextremepressuresontheenvironmentand…”可知。

33.A解析：第二段中指出“…whenbrainandbodyareactive”，大脑积极运转是眼珠快速转动的主要特征，且在第三、四段又再次说明。选项B“被研究者很快的反应速度”，选项C“复杂的记忆模式”和选项D“前一天事件的重现”都不是眼球快速运动的主要特征。故应选A。

34.C解析：由C中第三段第一句“Regularhighstandardperformancesinmusicanddrama，publicspeakinganddebatingareimportantpreparationforadultlife．”可知，该学校很重视培养学生的语言天赋。

35.C解析：由文章第二段可知C不对，而A、B、D文中均提到了。

36.A解析：文章第三段提到“TheAmericanideaofthenationalgoodhasneverbeenbasedonnationalcooperationbutratheronthefreedomoftheindividual,…．”这说明美国的国家利益不是建立在全民合作基础之上的，相反，这种基础是个人的自由。故应选A。

37.A解析：由第二段最后一句话可知A项正确。B项不能从文中推知。C项文中没有提及。男性工人的健康在法律中是得到考虑了的，故D项不正确。

38.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。

39.C解析：文章第二段对于基因治疗的方式的解释是用于治疗的基因通过“virusesthatdon'tcausehumandisease”进入体内，就好像“特洛伊木马”一样，由此可见，这些病毒是无害的。因此正确答案为C。

40.A解析：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。

41.A由第三段中所举的GTE的例子可知“efficienttechnologyiscost．effective”。

42.D由D中的第一句“JokhangTempleisthespiritualcenterofTibet．”可知。

43.E此空下段首词为“later”，而E中有“First”而日叙述内容一致。

44.C短文赏析

今天的观众已经习惯了他们惯常看到的宇航员的形象了，但是到底是什么使宇航员区别于常人的呢?如果你要采访一名宇航员，你需要申请、等待，最终得到采访机会后还不能询问任何有关于他们私生活的事情。做宇航员当然要求有不同的素质，例如健康状况极佳、能够高度集中注意力和超凡的勇气等，当然还要掌握科学知识。宇航员的年龄一般在40岁左右，而他们的婚姻生活则令人羡慕，极少有人会离婚。宇航员住在基地周围的小社区中，但是他们的日常生活却和平常人一样，并喜欢结交圈子之外的朋友。他们的政治观点一般偏右。

答案解析:

本文第二段中提到“．．．becausealltheastronautshavecon．tractswithanAmericanmagazineunderconditionsforbiddinganyunauthorizeddisclosuresabouttheirprivatefives．”

45.B由第一段最后一句“However，basically，evolutionarytheoriestakeitthat…hasbeenexpandingeversince．”可知，两种理论的根本区别在于对“宇宙是否会继续膨胀?”这一问题的不同看法。辽宁省盘锦市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
