15.Incollege．

16.butbut解析：此句意為“30歲的人表現(xiàn)出非常不同的握筆方式，…超過40歲的人都統(tǒng)一用三個(gè)手指握筆。”顯然，此空處表轉(zhuǎn)折。

17.WhenWhen解析：這里的一句話其實(shí)與下一半“whenwearedown-to-earth…．”所起到的作用是一樣的，同時(shí)兩者也是并列的，when表達(dá)了“當(dāng)…”，所以這里填when。故答案為when。

18.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”。

19.tastetaste解析：本句意為“我們看得見它，聞得見它，…它，喝它，而且在它中間掙扎。”由常識可知，此空處只有一個(gè)“嘗”較合適。

20.linklink解析：與37題對應(yīng)，此處應(yīng)填link，表明在“near-pointgripping”和“slow，illegiblewriting”之間存在聯(lián)系。

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

22.itit解析：本句意為“‘污染’意思是弄臟——表層土或什么東西，通過引進(jìn)雜質(zhì)，這使…不健康或不干凈?！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)指topsoilorsomething，因?yàn)榍懊嬉殉霈F(xiàn)，所以用it來代替。

23.bringbring解析：根據(jù)上下文，此處意思為給他們帶來快樂。帶來用動(dòng)詞“bring”。所以此處應(yīng)填“bring”。

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

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

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

27.C解析：本文均是在講述青少年的自殺問題。

28.B解析：根據(jù)第三段和第四段的論述，我們可以得知作者的總體看法，即特別的勞工防護(hù)法并沒有保護(hù)婦女的權(quán)益，故B項(xiàng)正確。A項(xiàng)與作者的觀點(diǎn)明顯相悖，所以不正確。C項(xiàng)從文中不能推知，故不正確。文中沒有提到男性工人的保護(hù)問題，故D項(xiàng)也不正確。

29.B解析：文章最后一段第二句話“Competitionsometimesencouragesfeelingsofsuspicionratherthanthemutualtrustthatisnecessaryforsuccessfulnationalcooperation．”說明競爭有時(shí)會(huì)助長懷疑的意識，而不是合作需要的相互信任。故應(yīng)選B。

30.C解析：由全文可以推斷，要指出犯罪率下降的確切原因是很困難的。

31.DD解析：此處的上面提到了兩個(gè)問題，而選項(xiàng)D中也對兩個(gè)問題做出了相應(yīng)的解釋。故應(yīng)選D。

32.BB解析：由此空下面一段段意及B中的“…Itseemed，Edwinathought…”可知B與下一段前后呼應(yīng)。

33.A解析：第六段中男主人看到清理垃圾的車，誤以為是Mickey來了，正要出去澄清誤會(huì)，把上次的小費(fèi)補(bǔ)上，卻遭到了回收員的蔑視，所以他感到澄清誤會(huì)的機(jī)會(huì)是很渺茫了，對于假期小費(fèi)的事情他已經(jīng)絕望了。因此正確答案為A。

34.AA解析：由此空上下文可以看出，A填入使上下兩段意思銜接。

35.A解析：由A中第三段中“TheunpopulararchitecturehasledtotheareabeingcalledtheMiltonKeynesofLondon”，A中多處提到Rotherhithe的建筑風(fēng)格很老套。所以此處答案為A。

36.B解析：由B中的disadvantage中“Althoughnotmuchwasteisproduced，itisvery，verydangerous．Itmustbesealedupandburiedformanyyearstoallowtheradioactivitytodieaway．”可知答案為B。

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

38.A解析：由A中的第二段第二句話“Oneithersideofthepalacearemanycomparativelysmallbuildings．”可知。

39.B解析：第三段中Dr．Laragh提到“…所以建議所有人應(yīng)該少吃鹽沒有意義?！笨梢酝浦难韵轮馐恰搬t(yī)生不應(yīng)建議人們不吃鹽”。

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

41.A由文章第二段“…intheThirdWorldtowardfamilysizeandadawningrealisationthatenvironmentaldegradation…”。

42.C由C中第二段可知C“enablesplayerstomakeuptheirownstories”可知。

43.D第二段第一句提到“…butoldwastefulhabitsdiehard”，可知雖然美國人開始回收利用一些物品，但是那種浪費(fèi)的舊習(xí)慣依然不好消除。最后一句話“．．．itCanbecomestrongeronlyasAmericansseetheneedforitmoleclearly．”也說明了只有當(dāng)美國人真正意識到環(huán)保的重要性，他們才能更好的具有環(huán)保意識，言外之意就是說他們依然沒有完全意識到環(huán)保的重要性。故應(yīng)選D。

44.C由C中的howitworks中的第二條“Thismeansyoudon’tneedtousesomuchgasorelectricitytoheatyourwaterathome．”可知答案為C。

45.A短文解析

本文介紹了幾種會(huì)放電的魚。放電的魚中，最為人所知的就是電鰩，它們腦部有一些細(xì)胞含有電板，觸摸電板的兩極就會(huì)放電，電擊的強(qiáng)度取決于魚的大小。還有一種著名的放電魚就是電鰻，電鰻的放電強(qiáng)度還要大一些。電鰻的電流是從頭部傳到尾部的，放電器官是變化的肌肉。尼羅河中的鯰魚和其他非洲淡水魚的導(dǎo)電途徑是從尾到頭，雖然電流強(qiáng)度不如前兩種魚，但也不怎么令人舒服。放電的能力為這些魚提供了防衛(wèi)和進(jìn)攻的本領(lǐng)，可以擊退強(qiáng)敵。

答案解析：

由文章第四段中的“Anotherfamousexampleistheelectriceel．Thisfishgivesallevenmorepowerfulshock．”可知。2022年四川省樂山市公共英語五級(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________
