12.(at)(the)Nextmeeting/(the)followingmeeting

13.A

14.B

15.A

16.gradesgrades解析：此句意為“…他指出在主要大學(xué)里關(guān)控制評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)及恢復(fù)不及格…的努力。”顯然，此空處應(yīng)填“分?jǐn)?shù)”。

17.fromfrom解析：“來(lái)自…的數(shù)據(jù)”，要用介詞“from”。所以此處應(yīng)填“from”。

18.olderolder解析：grow只能是年齡越來(lái)越大。

19.readyready解析：顧客來(lái)到結(jié)算處，說(shuō)明他們準(zhǔn)備好了要付賬。bereadyto的意思是“準(zhǔn)備好了做某事”。故答案為ready。

20.alsoalso解析：由35題解析，拼寫有問(wèn)題的學(xué)生必定握筆習(xí)慣不好。

21.customercustomer解析：從這個(gè)句子的賓語(yǔ)“…thatheorshehasdoneagoodjobofchoosingtheitems．”可以看出，這里說(shuō)的是顧客的行為，他們認(rèn)為自己買這些商品是很理性的。故答案為customer。

22.whowho解析：此空后的句子顯然為定語(yǔ)從句，修飾“Behaviorists”，所以應(yīng)填一個(gè)who，引導(dǎo)修飾人的定語(yǔ)從句。

23.normalnormal解析：根據(jù)上下文可以判斷此處句意為“很正常的事情”，因此此處應(yīng)填“normal”。

24.accordingaccording解析：accordingto為“依據(jù)”，為固定短語(yǔ)，意為“根據(jù)美國(guó)的民意調(diào)查”。所以此處填according。

25.reusereuse解析：由后一句“今天幾乎每件東西都可以被扔掉?！笨芍啊魏螙|西不再明智了?！敝械目仗帒?yīng)為“再利用”，這樣前后兩句邏輯上才能合理。

26.B解析：由B中的第二段“Thecitywithitsgoodharborwasdiscoveredasearlyas1524，anditwasestablishedbyDutchwhonamedthecityNewAmsterdam．”可知答案為B。

27.B解析：從文章的第三段可以看出，“Homepricesareholdingsteadyinmostregions.”作者在這一段主要說(shuō)明房子等不動(dòng)產(chǎn)的價(jià)格、利潤(rùn)等方面，所以“the$4millionto$10millionrange”說(shuō)的是不動(dòng)產(chǎn)。故應(yīng)選B。

28.DD解析：此處的前一段說(shuō)明的是一些特殊情況，例如“Thesameistrueofthecrippledorphysicallyhandicapped．”而后面的一段指出“Ofcourse，theoppositeisalsotrue．”也就是說(shuō)在空白的地方，作者依然在說(shuō)明這些不尋常的情況，故應(yīng)選D。

29.D解析：deforestation意為“濫伐森林”。

30.EE解析：第一段引出了人們對(duì)未來(lái)的擔(dān)心，認(rèn)為老齡化將會(huì)帶來(lái)各種問(wèn)題。第三段是對(duì)老齡化社會(huì)的肯定，認(rèn)為這是文明發(fā)展的成果。“myth”一詞含有杜撰的意思。一些人的擔(dān)心是多余的。E起到承上啟下的作用。

31.D解析：第四段提到基因療法遭受的一起挫折——一個(gè)病人因接受基因療法而死亡；接著講專家擔(dān)心運(yùn)動(dòng)員利用基因在比賽中作弊會(huì)進(jìn)一步tarnish這一領(lǐng)域，從上下文邏輯推理，應(yīng)該是“有損，玷污”這一類的意思，因此正確答案為D。

32.D解析：由文章最后一段中的“Thepositivesideofitistherearebetterproducts—they'recheaperandmoreflexible．”可知。

33.D解析：由短文最后一段中的“Butnewmaterialshavenoimpactuntiltheyaremadeintoproducts．．．willdeterminethesuccessorfailureofacountryinthecomingfuture．”。

34.C解析：由C中的第二段“…asubstantialagriculturesector，whichcontributestodeforestation，theerosionofthetopsoilanddesegification．hasledtoextremepressuresontheenvironmentand…”可知。

35.EE解析：由上下兩段可知，只有E放在此處可使上下文銜接。

36.C解析：文章第三段指出“ItisfarmoredifficultforAmericanstoacceptsharedsacrificeforthecommongoodandwell—beingoftheentirecountry．”，接著作者給出一個(gè)例子，證明美國(guó)人不會(huì)為了國(guó)家的利益而放棄個(gè)人的利益。故應(yīng)選C。

37.B解析：書(shū)評(píng)二中提到許多經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家，甚至布什政府的官員都贊成Sfiglitz的論點(diǎn)，認(rèn)為“economicchangeinthedevelopingworldmustevolvemorewithlocalconditions”。所以本題應(yīng)選B。

38.B解析：由短文第一段中的“Andaccordingtolegend，therewasaTurkishrulerwho…ToPayforthewearandtearonhisteeth”。

39.D解析：文章最后一段指出，“Congressshouldpasslegislation…，allowcustomerstooptoutofsuchdatacollection，and…”，意思就是說(shuō)國(guó)會(huì)應(yīng)該要求網(wǎng)站公示收集用戶隱私信息的政策，通過(guò)何種方式收集的，告訴用戶怎么才能避開(kāi)這些信息收集以及怎么查閱所收集的信息等等內(nèi)容。optout的意思是“避開(kāi)、避免”。故應(yīng)選D。

40.C解析：從第一段最后一句話“Botticelli'sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste,pleasingneitheramateurobserversnorconnoisseurs.”可知，作者講述了那些評(píng)論家，不管是業(yè)余的還是職業(yè)的，他們都不滿意它的作品風(fēng)格。所以這個(gè)詞的意思可能是“對(duì)作品做出評(píng)論的那些業(yè)余人士”。故應(yīng)選C。

41.D由短文最后一段中的“Butnewmaterialshavenoimpactuntiltheyaremadeintoproducts．．．willdeterminethesuccessorfailureofacountryinthecomingfuture．”。

42.C由C中第三段第一句“Regularhighstandardperformancesinmusicanddrama，publicspeakinganddebatingareimportantpreparationforadultlife．”可知，該學(xué)校很重視培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的語(yǔ)言天賦。

43.D由短文第二段中的“…showedthatthosewithnormalbloodpressureunderwentnochangeatallwhenplacedonanextremelylow．saltdiet?！笨芍?。

44.E短文解析

本文介紹了阿迪達(dá)斯品牌的成長(zhǎng)過(guò)程。最近阿迪達(dá)斯的銷售量?jī)H次于耐克而位居世界第二。但最使其當(dāng)家人興奮的卻是阿迪達(dá)斯買下了一家法國(guó)足球俱樂(lè)部。路易斯·德賴弗斯不但使阿迪達(dá)斯獲得了巨大的市場(chǎng)收益，還贊助了許多著名運(yùn)動(dòng)員。阿迪達(dá)斯曾經(jīng)一度情況不佳，甚至陷入危機(jī)，在尋求新的擁有者的時(shí)候，拯救者出現(xiàn)了，路易斯·德賴弗斯成功地與銀行達(dá)成協(xié)議，買下了這家公司。自那以后，阿迪達(dá)斯起死回生，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)擁有了巨大的市場(chǎng)，并收到了可觀的回報(bào)。阿迪達(dá)斯現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)從一家德國(guó)公司轉(zhuǎn)化為一家全球企業(yè)，通過(guò)大刀闊斧的改革，減少官僚作風(fēng)，吸引人才，阿迪迭斯增強(qiáng)了競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力，創(chuàng)建了獨(dú)特的企業(yè)文化。從l994年起，阿迪達(dá)斯盈利水平不斷攀升，路易斯·德賴弗斯也從中獲得了大量的個(gè)人收入。但是，保持盈利水平、應(yīng)付競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者的威脅將是阿迪達(dá)斯在未來(lái)的主要任務(wù)。

答案解析：

由此空上下兩段意思看，只有E放在此空可以使上下文銜接通暢。

45.C文章的第一段說(shuō)“Welookatthemlongenought0，makeitquiteclearthatweseethem，andthenweimmediatelylookaway．”意思就是我們看人時(shí)不能一直不斷的盯著看，并解釋了如何去做。選項(xiàng)中的inthisway符合了前面的意思。故應(yīng)選C。2021-2022年吉林省長(zhǎng)春市公共英語(yǔ)五級(jí)(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級(jí):________姓名:________考號(hào):________
