16.diddid解析：据38题解析，由于while意为“尽管”，才有后面起强调作用的did，意为“确实”，言下之意有转折之意。

17.especiallyespecially解析：“Around1980manyJapanese，——youngpeople…”，“1980年左右许多日本人，尤其是年轻人…”，所以此处应填“especially”。

18.normalnormal解析：根据上下文可以判断此处句意为“很正常的事情”，因此此处应填“normal”。

19.displaydisplay解析：这里要回应本段第一句话中的“displayed”。在出口结算处展示的这些小商品无疑是一种诱惑。这里需要用名词形式。放答案为display。

20.takestakes解析：要注意时态，这里意为“占据”，所以所以此处应填“takes”。

21.wherewhere解析：此题考查where引导的定语从句，修饰前面提到的plane，trainorbus。所以此处应填关系副词“where”。

22.thoughthough解析：本句话的意思是“尽管知道顾客们可能不知道自己为什么买了这些商品，但是卖家却知道怎么去做。”故答案为though。

23.toto解析：besubjectedto为固定搭配，“使遭受，使服从”的意思，要学会跨过其他成分寻找主干。所以此处应填介词“to”。

24.youngyoung解析：本文均是在讲年轻的脑力工作者，故此空所应填的用于修饰“collegegraduates”的词也应是“年轻的”。

25.thatthat解析：此空后面的句子为suggesting的内容，即应为其宾语从句，所以此空处应填引导宾语从句的词，即that。

26.B解析：由第四段中的“Thehorsesarelessaffectedthanamanwouldbe，andwhentheelectriceelshaveexhaustedthemselves，theycanbecaughtwithoutdanger．”可知。

27.C解析：由第一段可知，这张卡片是送报人的，我们被暗示：要填好卡片投递，当你的服务在凌晨四点就被奉上时，你不能若无其事，你必须要直接点，他想要的是假期小费。因此正确答案为C。

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

29.BB解析：由此空下面一段段意及B中的“…Itseemed，Edwinathought…”可知B与下一段前后呼应。

30.A解析：由短文最后一段最后一句可知A不对。

31.A解析：文中提到“…urgedcautioninensuringthateffortstoprotectournationdonotresultinbroadgovernmentauthoritytoerodeprivacyrightsofU.S.citizens．”其意思是“保护国家的利益也不应该伤害美国居民的个人隐私权利”，可知作者认为这项提议是不公正的。故应选A。

32.D解析：由文章第四段可知本题答案为D。

33.A解析：anomaly意为“反常，奇怪”。

34.A解析：由第二段最后一句话可知A项正确。B项不能从文中推知。C项文中没有提及。男性工人的健康在法律中是得到考虑了的，故D项不正确。

35.B解析：书评二中最后几句话提到了Stiglitz对RubinandSummers，Fischer，theNO．2officialanddefactochiefexecutiveoftheIMF的批评，“…theyhadtoomuchfaiththatmarketscouldtransform.poorcountriesovernight．Helabelsthesethreemenmarketfundamentalists”都可以看出题目中包含的信息。所以本题应选B。

36.C解析：由C中的howitworks中的第二条“Thismeansyoudon'tneedtousesomuchgasorelectricitytoheatyourwaterathome.”可知答案为C。

37.A解析：由A中最后一句“TheCollegehasanationalreputationforthequalityofitsdyslexiaprovision．”可知。

38.A解析：由短文第一段最后一句“…managersandprofessionalsspendmorethanhalfoftheirtimeincommunicatingwitheachother．”可知，作者引用Straussmann的话主要是为了表明交流能力的重要性。

39.D解析：由D中的第一句“JokhangTempleisthespiritualcenterofTibet.”可知。

40.B解析：由B中的内容“Producessmallamountsofwaste.”可知答案为B。

41.B文章第三段最后两句话“Moreover，itbecomesunworkable．．．theInternetdoesnotknowgeographicboundaries，andcompaniesandindividualscannotbeexpectedtocomplywithdiffering，andattimesconflicting，privacyrules．”这说明各州制定的法律是不好实施的，因为网络是不具有地域限制的。这种法律不能仅仅限制在某个州的范围之内。故应选B。

42.C由C中的第二段“…asubstantialagriculturesector，whichcontributestodeforestation，theerosionofthetopsoilanddesertification．hasledtoextremepressuresontheenvironmentand．．．．”可知。

43.C由C中的第一段“Thecityisnowthelargestindustrialcityinthecountry．”可知答案为C。

44.A短文解析

A

奥迪A3是大多数驾驶者最喜欢的车型。车内所有的座椅都十分舒适．前座还可以调节。车视镜视野很广，只是后视镜的视野会受到高后窗线和厚柱的防碍。A3的后座十分灵活，可以自由调节。车的后备箱有大量空间可供存放物品。车内还装有防盗装置，可以吓跑窃贼。缺点是在事故中行李会冲进后座，驾驶者的膝盖也较容易受伤。

B

本田汽车虽然声称其发动机性能极佳，又能省油，但是驾驶者却发现其第五档加速迟缓，而且低转速下性能不佳。本车型驾驶位置差强人意，但后视窗可见性较差。另外，这种车的座椅也不甚舒服，后备箱太小。这种车没有防盗警报，需要购买者另购。在事故中，驾驶者的膝盖容易受伤，但乘客方面不成问题。同时，车内还需装备儿童防护座。

C

罗孚的发动机动力供应很不错，但在高转速下噪声很大。好处是驾驶舒适，操作容易，但是座椅高度不能调节，空间不够也是问题，后视也不是很好。另外，后座设计也有很多问题，这种车的后备箱很小，折叠起来也不容易。无线电控制要更为方便，也有防盗警报。如果受到撞击，部分电线可能会受损，事故中行李也可能会冲进客座。

D

本文介绍的是一种新款轿车——丰田CamryHybrid，作者认为在这个社会，汽油都不会打折，更不用说是各种品牌的汽车了。但是2007款丰田CamryHybrid轿车，一款中型的轿车，美国环保署测定每加仑汽油可行使40英里的耗油量，192马力的驱动，Camry系列的外形，2．4升容量，双凸轮，16阀，四缸引擎，可计时调速。整车还不足31000美元的价格，就算是零售也算的上是一个便宜货。

答案解析：

由A中的“Alltheseatswerecomfortableandthefrontoneswereeasytoadjust．”可知。

45.D短文赏析

本文提出了部分就业的观点。作者认为，现在居高不下的失业率迫使人们必须找到增加就业的方法。不仅应当增加职位，还应当鼓励人们自谋出路，而不是受雇于别人。作者还认为，现在已经到了改变工作模式的时候了。是工业革命剥夺了人们的土地，将人们驱赶进工厂，并形成了丈夫主外、妻子主内的家庭分工模式。由于就业，妇女、年轻人和老人处于不利的工作地位上，他们被排除在工作之外。因此作者认为，比起为所有人创造工作，更为紧迫的是帮助人们依靠非全职工作生活下去。

答案解析:

由短文第一句“Opinionpollsalenowbeginningtoshowthat，whoeveristoblameandwhateverhappensfromnowon，highunemploymentisprobablyheretostay．”可知。2021年陕西省咸阳市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
