15.B

16.somesome解析：關(guān)鍵是注意and前后一致?！皊omerationaland…emotional”，前面說促使顧客購買的動機有很多，有的是理性的，有的卻是沖動。所以這里應(yīng)該是some。故答案為some。

17.promisingpromising解析：此句意為“一家大制造公司最近采訪了許多…的工程師，這些工程師都已離開這家公司?！庇缮舷戮渑袛?，此空處填“有希望的，有前景的”最合句意。

18.suchsuch解析：“such…as”用來舉例子。所以此處應(yīng)填“such”。

19.offoff解析：turnoff是“關(guān)掉”的意思，此題考查動詞短語的用法，根據(jù)上下文語境，這里意思是“關(guān)掉你的手機”。所以用副詞“off”。

20.withwith解析：endupwith意為“以…結(jié)束，以…告終”，為固定短語。

21.byby解析：由日本政府收集的數(shù)據(jù)。考查被動語態(tài)的用法，“由…”用介詞“by”。所以此處應(yīng)填“by”。

22.toto解析：“attributeto”意為“把某事歸因于”，為固定搭配，所以此處應(yīng)填“to”。

23.SometimeSometime解析：通過對后面句子的分析，我們可以知道那些想入非非、飄飄欲仙的人有朝一日也是可以“雙腳落地的”，那就是“sharpwordsfromteacher”，所以這里表示的是“有朝一日”，故答案為sometime。

24.byby解析：此空所在短句意為“報酬經(jīng)常毀掉創(chuàng)造性，…鼓勵依賴他人的認可和禮物?！憋@然，空處應(yīng)填“通過”，在英語中介詞by即可表達此意。

25.underunder解析：underguidance意為“在…指導(dǎo)下”，為固定短語。

26.A解析：作者的態(tài)度從文章第一句話和最后一句話就可以明顯判斷出來。第一句話說基因療法是20世紀的偉大成就之一，最后一句話說“Everybodyrecognizesthatgenetherapyisaverygoodidea”，由此可見作者對基因療法持積極樂觀的態(tài)度。因此正確答案為A。

27.C解析：由C中的第一段最后一句話“…occupyingabuildingspaceof90thousandsquaremeters”可知。

28.FF解析：從后面的first，second等字眼可以看出答案為F，因為選項中的“This，ofcourse，willintroducetwovitalsetsofproblem—isalreadyintroducingthem．”相對應(yīng)。故應(yīng)選F。

29.B解析：由短文第三段第一句“Incometaxesarethemainsourceoffederalrevenues．”。

30.B解析：由B中的內(nèi)容“Producessmallamountsofwaste．”可知答案為B。

31.D解析：原文對應(yīng)信息是：“Eagertoboosttheirmagazinerankings，whicharebasedinpartonthetestscoresOfenteringfreshmen．they'rethrowingmoreaidatsmarterkids—whethertheyneeditornot．”該句話說明“學(xué)校為了提高其雜志排名，就給那些比較聰明的孩子經(jīng)濟上給予較大的幫助，不管他們需不需要幫助”。由此可以看出，急需幫助的學(xué)生并不一定就能

32.A解析：由整篇文章可知，本文主要傳達的信息為“食鹽致病理論沒有道理”。

33.A解析：從第二段前兩句話可以看出，婦女被以能力和需要的理由勸離工廠，故A項正確。沒有足夠的工作給老兵不是由限制婦女工作時間的法律造成的，所以B項不正確。C項文中沒有提及。根據(jù)文章第三段可知婦女的健康不是改善了，而是下降了，故D項也不正確。

34.B解析：原文的第三段最后“Whattheydidnotknow…followedapattern—whatisreferredtoas”artificialgrammar“.Yetthereductionsinresponsetimeshowedthat…”說明了這種內(nèi)在模式，也就是“artificialgrammar”，對于記憶的重要性。故應(yīng)選B。

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

36.C解析：瓦薩利在文中第一段說到“VasariexpressedalluneasewithBotticelli’swork，…”說明他的態(tài)度是反對的，后來在最后一段中間部分“However，HomearguedthatBotticelli…emphasizedcleardepletionofastory，auniqueachievement…”表明霍姆的態(tài)度是肯定的。故應(yīng)選C。

37.BB解析：由下—段第—句“Thepoker—lovingLouis—Dreyfusknew…”可知此空處填B最合適，因為“Louis-Dreyfus，scionof．．．”必定在下一段之前邏輯上才講得通。

38.CC解析：由此空上幾段看，均是在講述Louis-Dreyfus的事，而下一段則提到另一個人MichaelMichalsky，故此空應(yīng)為C，因為C中講述的仍是Louis—Dreyfus的事。

39.A解析：由短文第一段最后一句“…managersandprofessionalsspendmorethanhalfoftheirtimeincommunicatingwitheachother．”可知，作者引用Straussmann的話主要是為了表明交流能力的重要性。

40.D解析：由D中的advantage中的第四句話“Windfarmscanbetouristattractions．”可知答案為D。

41.C由C中的“Visibilitywasmarriedbythesmallmirrors．Therearviewwasalsorestrictedbythickpillarsandthesmallrearwindow．”可知。

42.C由C中的第一段“Thecityisnowthelargestindustrialcityinthecountry．”可知答案為C。

43.B文中提到，在一家企業(yè)中，最昂貴的資源是人力資源。

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

45.D由上一段最后一句可知，只有D放在此處才能連貫，D為上一段最后一句的舉例。2021-2022年廣東省汕頭市公共英語五級(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________
