14.B

15.C

16.workwork解析：本句意為“我們以前已經(jīng)嘗試過，但是不…。”顯然，此空處應(yīng)填“奏效，起作用”，英語中表達(dá)這一含義最地道的詞就是work。

17.whichwhich解析：此空后的句子應(yīng)為定語從句，修飾“tokeneconomies”，故此空應(yīng)填一個(gè)可引導(dǎo)定語從句的詞，而且前面可加介詞in。

18.differencedifference解析：顯然，這句話是在對老年人和年輕人寫字之間進(jìn)行比較，而且由后半句中的“getbetterat…”可知，此空必為“不同的”。

19.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。

20.fastfast解析：由上一句句意“不耐心代表了年輕的腦力工作者們的特點(diǎn)。”可知，本句“他們想…成名”中的空處應(yīng)填“快速地”。

21.toto解析：besubjectedto為固定搭配，“使遭受，使服從”的意思，要學(xué)會(huì)跨過其他成分尋找主干。所以此處應(yīng)填介詞“to”。

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

23.ratherrather解析：此空所在句意為“用四個(gè)手指握筆而不是三個(gè)?！眗atherthan表示“而不是”。

24.ageage解析：此段話均是在比較不同年齡段的人之間寫字的不同，故此空應(yīng)填“年齡”。

25.amongamong解析：此句意為“后一種觀點(diǎn)得到了許多支持者，尤其…教育家。”顯然，空處應(yīng)填“在…中”，介詞among即有此意。

26.D解析：Stiglitz打算致力于發(fā)展中國家的發(fā)展是在書評四中提到的，書評四最后幾句“…setsoutforthenation’scapitaltoservehiscountryandimprovethelotofthedevelopingworld．”他打算改善發(fā)展中國家人民的命運(yùn)。所以本題應(yīng)選D。

27.B解析：由文章倒數(shù)第二段第一句“TheelectriccatfishoftheNileandofotherAfricanfreshwatershasadifferentsystemagainbywhichcurrentpassesoverthewholebodyfromthetalltothehead．”可知。

28.FF解析：此空填入F，上下文銜接，意思連貫。

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

30.EE解析：由此空上段的最后一句話“Eachwillveerslightlyandthepassingisdonesmoothly.”可知，當(dāng)兩人接近時(shí)應(yīng)該慢慢的把目光轉(zhuǎn)向別的地方。而后面的一段接著說“thissignal”，也就是選項(xiàng)中的“Itrustyou.Iamnotafraidofyou.”故此處應(yīng)選E。

31.A解析：本文談到青少年自殺問題，自殺顯然不會(huì)是C、D，故排除。cool也并不是這些孩子自殺的目的，只有A合適。

32.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。

33.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(jì)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)生并不一定就能獲得幫助。所以A、B、C均不符合題意。所以本題應(yīng)選D。

34.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(gè)人MichaelMichalsky，故此空應(yīng)為C，因?yàn)镃中講述的仍是Louis—Dreyfus的事。

35.A解析：第二段中女主人寫了一封漂亮的假期賀詞給這個(gè)她從來沒看到或遇到過的人。這個(gè)人在她的想象里就是像射擊一樣把《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》發(fā)射到她家門前，制造的噪聲要大于人們從黑市購得的鞭炮的聲響。所以她確實(shí)不喜歡拉烏爾投遞報(bào)紙的這種方式。因此正確答案為A。

36.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。

37.D解析：根據(jù)這篇文章，普遍認(rèn)為大腦的區(qū)別由什么因素引起的?短文第三段倒數(shù)第二句話說“Wetendtothinkthatistheinfluenceofsocietythatproducesthesedifferences．”即我們認(rèn)為社會(huì)的影響造成了這些區(qū)別。A、B、C均不符合題意。所以本題應(yīng)選D。

38.C解析：由C中的第二段“ThispartrepresentsthetensionsbetweenAmericaandFrance．”可知。

39.C解析：選項(xiàng)A即心理學(xué)家已經(jīng)放棄，而生物學(xué)家正在展開研究工作。而文中第三句話說“Psychologistsviewthesubjecteitherasamatteroffrustrationorajoke．”即心理學(xué)家認(rèn)為這個(gè)研究不是一件沮喪的事，就是一個(gè)笑話，此句和選項(xiàng)A含義不一樣。選項(xiàng)B即大腦區(qū)別顯示出一個(gè)性別優(yōu)于另外一個(gè)性別。而文中第一段最后一句話說“Butbeingdifferent，theypointouthurriedly，isnotthesameasbei

40.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。

41.C短文賞析

世界貿(mào)易組織的建立加強(qiáng)了世界貿(mào)易體系，更加有效地管理國際貨物及服務(wù)貿(mào)易。第一，通過大幅度降低貿(mào)易壁壘、關(guān)稅及農(nóng)業(yè)保護(hù)，將增加貿(mào)易自由化程度。第二，世貿(mào)組織的建立可以增強(qiáng)國際貿(mào)易條例的實(shí)施，減少貿(mào)易保護(hù)主義，更加有效地解決貿(mào)易爭端。第三，建立了新的多邊規(guī)則，如服務(wù)及知識產(chǎn)權(quán)保護(hù)。這將促進(jìn)全球自由貿(mào)易體系的建立。世貿(mào)組織的建立改變了世界經(jīng)濟(jì)結(jié)構(gòu)，孤立的經(jīng)濟(jì)體被聯(lián)系到一起，國內(nèi)金融市場融入世界體系，跨國公司日益成為投資資本和生產(chǎn)地點(diǎn)分配的主體。

答案解析：

由短文第一段中的“TheWTO，whichsucceedstheGATT"，…”可知，WTO應(yīng)誕生于GATT之后。

42.C由全文可以看出，學(xué)生們對歷史研究其實(shí)沒有多大興趣。

43.B短文賞析

石油輸出國組織在3月份決定減少原油供應(yīng)，原油價(jià)格立即猛漲了3倍。本周伊拉克暫停石油出口，這使得油價(jià)又一次上揚(yáng)。強(qiáng)勁的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長勢頭，隨著北半球冬季的到來，有可能在短期內(nèi)使石油價(jià)格漲得更高。但是人們并不恐慌，這是因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在多數(shù)國家的原油價(jià)格占汽油價(jià)格的份額要小很多，發(fā)達(dá)國家對石油的依賴性也不如從前，因此對油價(jià)的波動(dòng)也就不會(huì)那么敏感了。另外一個(gè)原因是，與20世紀(jì)70年代不同，這次油價(jià)上升并不是發(fā)生在普遍的物價(jià)暴漲及全球需求過旺背景之下。

解析：

文章的第二句中“SinceOPECagreedtosupply-cutsinMarch，thepriceofcrudeoilhasjumpedtoalmost$26abarrel，．．．”，說明油價(jià)上漲是由于石油輸出國組織最近的減少供應(yīng)導(dǎo)致的。故應(yīng)選B。

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

45.A由短文最后一段中的“Andthattransitioncouldprovedifficult．forswitchingrequireslengthyresearchandinvestment．”。湖南省郴州市公共英語五級(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________

16.workwork解析：本句意為“我們以前已經(jīng)嘗試過，但是不…。”顯然，此空處應(yīng)填“奏效，起作用”，英語中表達(dá)這一含義最地道的詞就是work。

17.whichwhich解析：此空后的句子應(yīng)為定語從句，修飾“tokeneconomies”，故此空應(yīng)填一個(gè)可引導(dǎo)定語從句的詞，而且前面可加介詞in。

18.differencedifference解析：顯然，這句話是在對老年人和年輕人寫字之間進(jìn)行比較，而且由后半句中的“getbetterat…”可知，此空必為“不同的”。

19.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。

20.fastfast解析：由上一句句意“不耐心代表了年輕的腦力工作者們的特點(diǎn)。”可知，本句“他們想…成名”中的空處應(yīng)填“快速地”。

21.toto解析：besubjectedto為固定搭配，“使遭受，使服從”的意思，要學(xué)會(huì)跨過其他成分尋找主干。所以此處應(yīng)填介詞“to”。

22.byby解析：由日本政府收集的數(shù)據(jù)?？疾楸粍?dòng)語態(tài)的用法，“由…”用介詞“by”。所以此處應(yīng)填“by”。

23.ratherrather解析：此空所在句意為“用四個(gè)手指握筆而不是三個(gè)?！眗atherthan表示“而不是”。

24.ageage解析：此段話均是在比較不同年齡段的人之間寫字的不同，故此空應(yīng)填“年齡”。

25.amongamong解析：此句意為“后一種觀點(diǎn)得到了許多支持者，尤其…教育家?！憋@然，空處應(yīng)填“在…中”，介詞among即有此意。

26.D解析：Stiglitz打算致力于發(fā)展中國家的發(fā)展是在書評四中提到的，書評四最后幾句“…setsoutforthenation’scapitaltoservehiscountryandimprovethelotofthedevelopingworld．”他打算改善發(fā)展中國家人民的命運(yùn)。所以本題應(yīng)選D。

27.B解析：由文章倒數(shù)第二段第一句“TheelectriccatfishoftheNileandofotherAfricanfreshwatershasadifferentsystemagainbywhichcurrentpassesoverthewholebodyfromthetalltothehead．”可知。

28.FF解析：此空填入F，上下文銜接，意思連貫。

29.B解析：從文章的第三段可以看出，“Homepricesareholdingsteadyinmostregions．”作者在這一段主要說明房子等不動(dòng)產(chǎn)的價(jià)格、利潤等方面，所以“the$4millionto$10millionrange
