11.Duringthe1960s

12.B

13.B

14.C

15.B

16.areare解析：分析句子结构，这里缺少系动词be来构成动词的被动形式。故答案为are。

17.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”。

18.whosewhose解析：这是一个后置定语从句，用whose来引导，表示mind与dreamer的所属关系。故答案为whose。

19.paperpaper解析：由前一句“…arenowpaperthrowaways．”可知，“不久以后我们将穿由纸制作的衣服。”

20.differencedifference解析：显然，这句话是在对老年人和年轻人写字之间进行比较，而且由后半句中的"getbetterat…”可知，此空必为“不同的”。

21.toto解析：talkto的意思是“和某人聊天”，talk这里不及物动词，后面需要接一个介词。在从句中介词不能省略。作者这里要表达的意思是“和那些诚实的平易近人的人聊天是很惬意的。”故答案为to。

22.whatwhat解析：显然，此空后的句子应为“obscure”的宾语从句，而“isbeingwritten”中缺主语，可做主句的宾语、从句的主语的只有what。

23.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。

24.beingbeing解析：avoiddoingsth．意为“避免…”，avoid后必须跟名词或动名词。beovercritical意为“过分挑剔的”。

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

26.A解析：文章第一句话对用基因疗法治疗Ashanthi所患罕见疾病的成功给与了很高的评价，并在第一段未指出医生们对基因疗法寄予了极高的期望。因此正确答案为A。

27.B解析：根据第三段和第四段的论述，我们可以得知作者的总体看法，即特别的劳工防护法并没有保护妇女的权益，故B项正确。A项与作者的观点明显相悖，所以不正确。C项从文中不能推知，故不正确。文中没有提到男性工人的保护问题，故D项也不正确。

28.B解析：由B中的第四句话“ThenorthernpartoftheTempleiscircularwhilethesouthernpartissquare,”可知。

29.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。

30.D解析：A、B、C项文中均没有提到。根据第三段的论述，可知D项是惟一正确的。

31.C解析：由短文第一段中的“Smithnoted，‘Betweentheamoutofsodiumapersonconsumesandheartdisease，circulatorydisorders，strokeandevenearlydeath．’”可知。

32.C解析：由文章中作者描述联合国世界领导人会议的口气看，他对待该会议的态度应是critical的。

33.D解析：由D中的第三段第二句话“CaliforniaisaleadingstateintheproductionofelectronicproductsandtheareaofLosAngeleshasgrownintoanimportantelectroniccenter．”可知答案为D.

34.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。

35.B解析：文中提到的方案有助于存钱，但这样的方案并不适于每一个人，然后给出了其中的一个原因，来说明对于低收入和中等收入的家庭来讲，选择其他投资方式会比这种方式好。由此可猜出词义。所以本题应选B。

36.D解析：文章的第一段最后一句话“Evenwhenanti-academicarthistorians…，Botticelli'sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste，…”，就算当时很多正统的艺术风格被批判，波提切利的作品也没有引起重视，认为他的作品不随人们的口味，既满足不了专业人士的品位，也不能满足业余人士的欣赏要求。这里的undervalue的意思是“低估，没有重视”，故应选D。

37.B解析：由B中的disadvantage中“Althoughnotmuchwasteisproduced,itisvery，verydangerous.Itmustbesealedupandburiedformanyyearstoallowtheradioactivitytodieaway.”可知答案为B。

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

39.CC解析：上一段中提到的“myth”是有关家庭关系的问题，担心家庭关系会因为老龄化问题而使亲人之间疏远。C中研究中心的伦理学家对这一问题进行了佐证。年长者对家庭需要贡献的角色越来越重要，所以这些担心都是没必要的，可以找到解决措施的。

40.D解析：由D中的最后一段“andsoistodescribeitsimplyasamovieaboutgangsters．”可知。

41.B同样，由短文第一段最后一句可知作者提到基因工程和计算机科学就是为了表明新材料对未来世界的重要性。

42.B由B中的第二段“Thecitywithitsgoodharborwasdiscoveredasearlyasl524，anditwasestablishedbyDutchwhonamedthecityNewAmsterdam．”可知答案为B。

43.D文章的第一段最后一句话“Evenwhenanti—academicarthistorians．．．，Botticelli’sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste，．．．”，就算当时很多正统的艺术风格被批判，波提切利的作品也没有引起重视，认为他的作品不随人们的口味，既满足不了专业人士的品位，也不能满足业余人士的欣赏要求。这里的undervalue的意思是“低估，没有重视”，故应选D。

44.D由D中的第一段“．．．ithasahistoryofmorethan1，300”可知。

45.D由此空上下两段可知只有D放在此处才能使上下文连贯。2022-2023年湖北省孝感市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
