16.withwith解析：根據(jù)對(duì)等關(guān)系，這里應(yīng)該與后面的部分“apersonwithagoodunderstanding”相對(duì)應(yīng)。意思是“那些腳踏實(shí)地的人往往是那些很了解現(xiàn)實(shí)的人?！惫蚀鸢笧閣ith。

17.stillstill解析：本句意為“但是空氣污染，盡管它…是最危險(xiǎn)的，但也只是幾種攻擊最基本生活功能的污染方式之一?！憋@然，可知此空應(yīng)填“仍然”。

18.withoutwithout解析：此處意為年輕人更喜歡沒有重大責(zé)任的簡(jiǎn)單工作。所以此處應(yīng)填“without”。

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

20.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?！庇沙ＷR(shí)可知，此空處只有一個(gè)“嘗”較合適。

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

22.whatwhat解析：此題考查what引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句。要注意分析句子中的成分，此空為listento后的賓語(yǔ)。所以此處應(yīng)填引導(dǎo)詞“what”。

23.forfor解析：解析見上題。desire后面用介詞for。故答案為for，表示“…的欲望”。

24.onon解析：“…的決定”英語(yǔ)表達(dá)為“decisiononsth.”這里介詞需要用on。故答案為on。

25.suchsuch解析：“poorposture，leaningtoo…tothedesk，using…”均是對(duì)characteristics的舉例說(shuō)明，而舉例用英語(yǔ)說(shuō)應(yīng)為“suchas”。

26.FF解析：從后面的first，second等字眼可以看出答案為F，因?yàn)檫x項(xiàng)中的“This，ofcourse，willintroducetwovitalsetsofproblem—isalreadyintroducingthem．”相對(duì)應(yīng)。故應(yīng)選F。

27.BB解析：該空缺之前講的是毒藤的過(guò)敏反應(yīng)是滯后的，不是馬上產(chǎn)生的。接下來(lái)的相關(guān)信息是不同的人敏感度不一樣，過(guò)敏反應(yīng)發(fā)生的時(shí)間也會(huì)不一樣。所以本題應(yīng)選B。

28.B解析：由B中的第二段最后幾句話“Millerisorderedtotakehissquadbehindenemylinesonadangerousmissiontofindandretrieveoneman：PrivateJamesRyan．”可知。

29.C解析：由C中的第一段“Thecityisnowthelargestindustrialcityinthecountry．”可知答案為C。

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.C解析：由第二段中的“Second，theyhavetoadoptacomputersystemcalled…”可知。

32.B解析：由B內(nèi)容中的itisrenewable中“NuclearenergyfromUraniumisnotrenewable.”可知答案為B。

33.D解析：由D中的第一段“…ithasahistoryofmorethan1，300”可知。

34.C解析：本文第二段中提到“…becausealltheastronautshavecontractswithanAmericanmagazineunderconditionsforbiddinganyunauthorizeddisclosuresabouttheirprivatelives.”

35.C解析：由短文倒數(shù)第二段可知美國(guó)只有四個(gè)州沒有importtaxes。美國(guó)一共50個(gè)州，所以應(yīng)該有46個(gè)有importtaxes。

36.B解析：由B中的第一段“Theozonelayeristhreatenedbychemicalemissions，theclimateisendangeredfromfossilanddeforestation…．”可知。

37.C解析：由C中的howitworks中的第二條“Thismeansyoudon'tneedtousesomuchgasorelectricitytoheatyourwaterathome.”可知答案為C。

38.B解析：由B中的第一段“Globalenvironmentalproblemsariseoutoftheaccumulatedimpactsfrommanyyears’andmanycountries’economicdevelopment．”可知。

39.C解析：由C中的第二段“Onthesouthwall,visitorswillseeanedictsignedwiththeGreatFifth'shandprint.”可知。

40.C解析：由文中可知全球技術(shù)支持中心跟當(dāng)?shù)匦蘩淼甑膮^(qū)別在于，當(dāng)?shù)匦蘩淼晷矢撸攸c(diǎn)近，態(tài)度好。題目問的是除了哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)以外，其他都是二者的不同。所以本題應(yīng)選C。

41.C文中第一段提到“Butsuchbehavioralstudiescannotdistinguishbetweentwocompetingtheoriesofwhysleepisgoodforthememory．”所以他們對(duì)為什么睡眠對(duì)記憶有好處持有不同的觀點(diǎn)，故應(yīng)選C。

42.CC第二段提到“．．．oftenbeyondtheplayer’scontrol…”。

43.B由下一段第一句中提到的“tomato”可知只有B中“Supporterssaythetomato”與之對(duì)應(yīng)。

44.D此詞出處在第五段，“rejuvenated”和前一句的“reactivating”構(gòu)成一種近義的重復(fù)。故應(yīng)選D。

45.C由短文倒數(shù)第二段可知美國(guó)只有四個(gè)州沒有importtaxes。美國(guó)一共50個(gè)州，所以應(yīng)該有46個(gè)有importtaxes。2022年浙江省紹興市公共英語(yǔ)五級(jí)(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級(jí):________姓名:________考號(hào):________
