13.Thecompleteanswers．

14.Theirmemory

15.A

16.somesome解析：关键是注意and前后一致。“somerationaland…emotional”，前面说促使顾客购买的动机有很多，有的是理性的，有的却是冲动。所以这里应该是some。故答案为some。

17.suchsuch解析：“such…as”用来举例子。所以此处应填“such”。

18.promisingpromising解析：此句意为“一家大制造公司最近采访了许多…的工程师，这些工程师都已离开这家公司。”由上下句判断，此空处填“有希望的，有前景的”最合句意。

19.thosethose解析：本句的意思是“他们不认为自己比别的不重要的人更好、更优秀。”这里比较的是down-to-earthpersons和别人。故答案为those。

20.whatwhat解析：解析同上。这里是一个名词性从句，what在句中做主语。故答案为what。

21.somesome解析：关键是注意and前后一致。“somerationaland…emotional”，前面说促使顾客购买的动机有很多，有的是理性的，有的却是冲动。所以这里应该是some。故答案为some。

22.toto解析：“attributeto”意为“把某事归因于”，为固定搭配，所以此处应填“to”。

23.lessless解析：由此空前面的“deterioratedsharply”可知此空应填“更少的”，而不是“更多的”。

24.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。

25.oftenoften解析：本句话的意思是“那些自我感觉很了不起、内心充满骄傲的人，总是不需要理由的就被人认为是趾高气扬的人。”故这里答案为often。

26.D解析：由D中的“ValparaisoUniversitycombinesliberalartswithprofessionalstudiesandpromotesservicetoothers”可知。

27.A解析：“这些区别”指的是什么?短文第五段主题句说“Butitisn’tallthateasytoexplaintheactualdifferencesbetweenskillsofmenandwomenonthisbasis．”即在此基础上解释两性技能的区别并不是很容易的事。由此可见，“这些区别”指的是两性技能。所以本题应选A。

28.AA解析：只有A放在此处才能与上一段意思连贯。

29.B解析：由短文第一段最后一句“Exoticplastics，glassandceramicswillshapethefuturejustassurelyashavegeneticengineeringandcomputerscience．”可知，本文提到了三种新材料。

30.A解析：由全文看，作者支持的一种观点是“为所有人创造工作机会是不可能的”。

31.DD解析：此处的上面提到了两个问题，而选项D中也对两个问题做出了相应的解释。故应选D。

32.D解析：fib意为“撒小谎”。

33.C解析：越来越多的人赞成Stiglitz的观点，批评自由贸易和全球化，从“Suchclaimsarenolongereredible，forStiglitzispartofasmallbutgrowinggroupofeconomists，sociologistsandpoliticalscientists…”growing一词可以看出答案。所以本题应选C。

34.A解析：第六段中男主人看到清理垃圾的车，误以为是Mickey来了，正要出去澄清误会，把上次的小费补上，却遭到了回收员的蔑视，所以他感到澄清误会的机会是很渺茫了，对于假期小费的事情他已经绝望了。因此正确答案为A。

35.C解析：C中提到“Theschoolcatersforgirlsofaverageabilityandabovebutitisnotnarrowlyacademic．”。

36.C解析：由全文的语气来看，均是在解释、阐述事情，而不是descriptive或narrative，更不是critic。

37.A解析：由A中advantage第一句话“Hydro-electricpowerstationscanincreasetofullpowerveryquickly，unlikeotherpowerstations.”可知答案为A。

38.A解析：在第三段最后一句“…oneculture-basedproducthasbeenclearedformarketinginEurope．”里出现了“cleared”一词。根据下文中“marketing”和读者有关药品上市前应该得到批准的常识，可以判断出，该词在本句中的意思是“得到官方的批准”。因此正确答案为A。

39.EE解析：由此空上段的最后一句话“Eachwillveerslightlyandthepassingisdonesmoothly.”可知，当两人接近时应该慢慢的把目光转向别的地方。而后面的一段接着说“thissignal”，也就是选项中的“Itrustyou.Iamnotafraidofyou.”故此处应选E。

40.C解析：由C中的第一段第一句话“Chicago，thesecondlargestcityinpopulationintheUnitedStates，”可知答案为C。

41.C由全文看，均是在讲述WTO优于GATT的方面，故文章标题应为“WTO比GATT的优越之处”。

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

43.B由第五段可知虽然美国人声称自己摄入的卡路里量下降，但这并不是真的，故A项是错误的。美国人总是在食物摄入量上撒谎，所以并不能推出他们知道自己吃了多少，故C项不正确。根据最后一段最后一句话可以知道D项不正确。

44.C瓦萨利在文中第一段说到“VasariexpressedalluneasewithBotticelli’swork，．．．”说明他的态度是反对的，后来在最后一段中间部分“However，HomearguedthatBotticelli．．．emphasizedcleardepletionofastory，auniqueachievement…”表明霍姆的态度是肯定的。故应选C。

45.C文章第三段指出“ItisfarmoledifficultforAmericanstoacceptsharedsacrificeforthecommongoodandwell-beingoftheentirecountry．”，接着作者给出一个例子，证明美国人不会为了国家的利益而放弃个人的利益。故应选C。2022-2023年山西省晋中市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
