14.C

15.A

16.concernconcern解析：“concernfor”表示“对…关心”。所以此处应填“concern”。

17.someonesomeone解析：由本文的第一句话“‘Down-to-earth’meanssomeoneorsomethingthatishonest．realisticandeasytodealwith．”可知“Down-to-earth”指的是诚实，现实、平易近人的那些人。这里的someone和后面是相对应的。故答案为someone。

18.dailydaily解析：此句意为“但是不要使他们的…工作仅仅成为一长串令人心烦的差使。”显然，此空应填“每日的，日常的”。

19.thatthat解析：参见32题解析，idea与bigachievementsrarelycomeeasilyandquickly是同位语，故此空应填that，引导同位语从句。

20.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”。

21.gradesgrades解析：此句意为“…他指出在主要大学里关控制评分标准及恢复不及格…的努力。”显然，此空处应填“分数”。

22.somesome解析：这里需要填写的是商品的名称，就是说摆在出口结算处的那些小商品。泛指时用some。故答案为some。

23.ofof解析：deprivesb．ofsth．为固定短语，意为“剥夺某人的某东西(或某权利)”。

24.fromfrom解析：keepsth．fromdoingsth：意为“防止某事…”，为固定短语。

25.firstfirst解析：根据题意，作者想在这里做一个比较，而比较的对象是目的。这里作者仅仅给出了两个目的，所以这里是和第一个目的进行比较。故答案为first。

26.D解析：“bitingone’snails”的意思是“一筹莫展”，通过后面的表述，“mostofherclientsspend$12to$50weekly，…”可以看出Spero并不是到了没有顾客的地步，只是越来越少，所以他并没有到达绝望的处境。故应选D。

27.A解析：由A中第二段第一句“Intheseniorschool，two-thirdsofthepupilsareboarders，andboardingisavailablefromtheageof11．”可知。

28.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。

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.B解析：由短文第一段中的“Andaccordingtolegend，therewasaTurkishrulerwho…Topayfortheweal"andtearonhisteeth．”。

31.C解析：由文中可知全球技术支持中心跟当地修理店的区别在于，当地修理店效率高，地点近，态度好。题目问的是除了哪个选项以外，其他都是二者的不同。所以本题应选C。

32.A解析：“Itwaslikeofferingtodropasafeonmyheadtocuremyheadache．”意为“就像给我提供一个保险箱放我头上来治愈我的头痛一样。”含蓄讽刺地说技术员提供的建议不可采取。所以本题应选A。

33.A解析：由文章第四段中的“Anotherfamousexampleistheelectriceel．Thisfishgivesanevenmorepowerfulshock．”可知。

34.FF解析：后面的一段说明了相反的情况。“Thepersonwearingtheglasses…”与选项中的“…twopeoplewearsdarkglasses”相对应，故应选F。

35.B解析：有关商业方面的报道都是对Stiglitz的论点的支持信息。“…especiallywhenthebusinesspageisfullofstoriesaboutwhite——collarcrimeandthestockmarketseemsstuckinaperpetualrut．．．”所以本题应选B。

36.AA解析：只有A放在此处才能与上一段意思连贯。

37.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。

38.B解析：talkshop意为“谈公事”。

39.A解析：从文章第二段倒数第一句话“…andmanysaytheyremainoptimisticabouttheeconomy’slong—termprospects,…．”可以看出，人们对现在的经济形势并不担心，相反他们认为从长远的角度来看，这种情况还是比较好的。故应选A。

40.A解析：书评一中提到Stiglitz更主张政府参与下的经济政策，而不是以市场为主导的政策。所以本题应选A。

41.D文章第四段第五句“TheOECDestimatesinitslatestEconomicOutlookthat．itsoilpricesaveraged$22abarrelforafullyear…．thiswouldincreasetheoilimportbininricheconomiesbyonly0．25—0．5%ofGDP．”说明现在这种情况下，油价的上涨所带来的影响只是在0．25—0．5%之间。这表明在富裕国家石油价格的变化不会对GDP(国内生产总值)产生重大影响。故应选D。

42.D由D中的第一句“JokhangTempleisthespiritualcenterofTibet．”可知。

43.B由B中的第一段“Theozonelayeristhreatenedbychemicalemissions，theclimateisendangeredfromfossilanddeforestation，…”可知。

44.B由B中的第一段“Globalenvironmentalproblemsariseoutoftheaccumulatedimpactsfrommanyyears’andmanycountries’economicdevelopment．”可知。

45.A同样，根据上下两段意思推知，此处只有A可以将上下两段连接上。2021-2022年四川省南充市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
