14.A

15.B

16.poorpoor解析：此句意为“但是很容易通过给…表现报酬或创造对报酬太…的期望而扼杀创造性。”显然，此空处应填“劣拙的，不好的”。

17.personperson解析：本句话的意思是“与此相反的一类人是那些想入非非的人。”根据上下文的要求这里应该填入man的同义词。故答案为person。

18.thoughthough解析：参见47题解析，由本句句意“…更便宜，…它的95％的部件仍可以使用。”可知，此空处应填“尽管，即使”，即eventhough。

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

20.InsteadInstead解析：由本句句意“…修一台烤箱或一台收音机，买一台新的、扔掉旧的更容易、更便宜…”可知，肯定是“不修”，又因为有介词of，所以应填intead。insteadof意为“不做某事”，是固定短语。

21.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”。

22.offoff解析：turnoff是“关掉”的意思，此题考查动词短语的用法，根据上下文语境，这里意思是“关掉你的手机”。所以用副词“off”。

23.reasonsreasons解析：本段的第一句话提出问题，问为什么在结算处摆设了那么多的商品。很明显，后面的文章对这个问题进行回答，并列举了原因。故答案为reasons。

24.AsAs解析：此句意为“…后一种观点的例子，…”显然，空处应填“作为”。

25.proportionproportion解析：此处意为很大比例的学生仍然喜欢简单的工作，所以此处应填“proportion”。

26.D解析：书评一中的“…heignoressomekeyargumentsinfavorofthemarket…”，书评二中的“Whilepartsofthisbookaredisappointinglyshallow…”，书评三种的“Stiglitz，58，ishardlythefirstpersontoaccusetheIMF…”都有提到Stiglitz的一些负面的消息。所以本题应选D。

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

28.A解析：由A中的第二段第二句话“Oneithersideofthepalacearemanycomparativelysmallbuildings．”可知。

29.A解析：由A中内容的introduction中“…providingaround20%oftheworld'selectricity.”可知答案为A。

30.B解析：由短文第二段中的“Differentkindsoftaxeshelptospreadthetaxburden…Thatiswhythethreelevelsofgovernmentinthiscountry…thisspreadstheburdenoftaxesamongmorepeople．”。

31.AA解析：只有A放在此处才能与上一段意思连贯。

32.DD解析：该空承接上段，讲的还是与毒藤相关的信息。毒橡树跟毒漆树的生长地点，环境及其形状。还是对鉴别毒藤的支撑信息。所以本题应选D。

33.A解析：由A中的第一段最后一句话“Atpresent,thePalaceisanelaboratemuseumthatpresentsthelargestandmostcompleteensembleoftraditionalarchitecture…”可知。

34.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。

35.A解析：原文对应信息是：“Even…Tallyadmitsit’salittlescary，especiallysinceshe’llretireandKatiewillgotocollegeataroundthesametime．”意为“面临自己将要退休，同时孩子要上大学，这确实有点令人害怕。”我们可知Tally对支付自己女儿的学费有点害怕。B、C、D均不是作者想要表达的原因。所以本题应选A。

36.D解析：由文章第四段可知本题答案为D。

37.D解析：根据这篇文章，普遍认为大脑的区别由什么因素引起的?短文第三段倒数第二句话说“Wetendtothinkthat，istheinfluenceofsocietythatproducesthesedifferences．”即我们认为社会的影响造成了这些区别。A、B、c均不符合题意。所以本题应选D。

38.D解析：由D中的第一段“…ithasahistoryofmorethan1，300”可知。

39.D解析：由文章最后一段中的“Thepositivesideofitistherearebetterproducts--they’recheaperandmoreflexible．”可知。

40.A解析：由A中的第一段“Washington，thecapitaloftheUnitedStates，isinWashingtonD.C.”可知答案为A。

41.A由短文第一段中的“TheWTO…tobemoreeffectivethantheGATT’in…”可知，在GATT下，一些措施并未得到很好地执行。

42.BB中提到“TheaccoladeofwinningtheSchoolsCurriculumAwardinl997gaveEdgehillnationalrecognitionand．recently．．．”。

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

44.A第二段中指出“…whenbrainandbodyareactive”，大脑积极运转是眼珠快速转动的主要特征，且在第三、四段又再次说明。选项B“被研究者很快的反应速度”，选项C“复杂的记忆模式”和选项D“前一天事件的重现”都不是眼球快速运动的主要特征。故应选A。

45.B短文赏析

过去的时代常常用某一种材料命名。未来的材料科学时代将迎来许多新的技术。新材料出现的关键在于研究者越来越能够在分子层次上操纵材料。科学家制造了硬度更高的抗热瓷器。同样，塑料也经历了转变。高强度塑料被用来作为建筑材料，还出现了能够发电的塑料，塑料回收再利用功能得以增强，而用塑料制成的化合物甚至被用于制造战斗头盔。由玻璃制成的电缆将电话讯号传递到全国各地。但是，新材料的影响只有制成产品才能够被看到。因此，技术的商业化将决定一个国家未来的成败。

答案解析:

由短文第一段最后一句“Exoticplastics，glassandceramicswillshapethefuturejustassurelyashavegeneticengineeringandcomputerscience．”可知，本文提到了三种新材料。2021年河南省焦作市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
