15.Satisfactionandmoney.
16.thatthat解析:此空后的内容为maintain的内容,即此空后的句子为maintain的宾语,应填一个可引导宾语从句的词。
17.farfar解析:可用于修饰“toolittle”的只能是far,意为“太少,特别少”。
18.themthem解析:本题考查代词的用法,根据上下文,此处句意为“人们使用这些小玩意儿。”上文已经提到gadgets,所以这里用代词“them”代替。
19.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”。
20.WhenWhen解析:这里的一句话其实与下一半“whenwearedown-to-earth….”所起到的作用是一样的,同时两者也是并列的,when表达了“当…”,所以这里填when。故答案为when。
21.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”。
22.withwith解析:endupwith意为“以…结束,以…告终”,为固定短语。
23.towardtoward解析:作者要表达的意思是“我怎么才能对别人诚实。”英语中表达“对某人…”一般是用介词toward。故答案为toward。
24.farfar解析:能修饰too的副词只有far或much。
25.onon解析:focuson意为“集中于”,为固定短语。
26.A解析:由A中的最后一句话“…takeonaneconomy-wideperspectivetodrawlessonsforagriculture,trade,landuseandtaxpolicy.”可知。
27.A解析:“Comparisonofthesignificanceoftwoeconomicbooks”含有对两本经济书的对比信息的,我们可以看出四个书评中只有A中提到了两本书之间的关系。所以本题应选A。
28.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。
29.C解析:通过全文的理解,我们可以发现作者在列数了经济形势不好的局面之后,也表明了人们对此依然存在着乐观态度,有的人还能从中受益,所以作者的态度应该是“对此加以注意,但不要惶恐。”故应选C。
30.D解析:此题问技术员的回答如何。文章中“ButIdoneedit.”“Yes.butyoudon'thaveit.”Wewentonlikethisforawhile.Finally,heofferedtowalkmethrough…可以看出“技术员最后是在敷衍作者,没有提出一个合理的解决办法”。所以本题应选D。
31.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
32.C解析:瓦萨利在文中第一段说到“VasariexpressedanuneasewithBotticelli'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。
33.C解析:由C中第三段第一句“Regularhighstandardperformancesinmusicanddrama,publicspeakinganddebatingareimportantpreparationforadultlife.”可知,该学校很重视培养学生的语言天赋。
34.C解析:由第二段中的“Second,theyhavetoadoptacomputersystemcalled…”可知。
35.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。
36.EE解析:文章的最后一段中指出“averyfew”、“theelitefew”,而选项中的“averysmallgroupof‘scholars’”也正是指出了这种情况,故应选E。
37.B解析: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。
38.D解析:由短文最后一段中的“Butnewmaterialshavenoimpactuntiltheyaremadeintoproducts…willdeterminethesuccessorfailureofacountryinthecomingfuture.”。
39.B解析:由文章第一段第一句“Insuranceissupposedtoprovideprotectionagainstfinancialrisks…”可知。
40.A解析:由A中最后一句“TheCollegehasanationalreputationforthequalityofitsdyslexiaprovision.”可知。
41.D由D中的第二段最后一句话“Morethan90percentoftheUniversity’sfull-timefacultymembersholdaPh.D.orterminaldegreeintheirfield”可知。
42.A由A中内容的introduction中“...providingaround20%oftheworld’selectricity.”可知答案为A。
43.C由上下两段看,只有C放在此处可以使上下文衔接,意思连贯。
44.C短文赏析
本文讲述了食盐多少与健康关系的争论。近年来有很多医生都把食盐量过高认做很多严重疾病的引发因素,但现今有很多医学界人士认为食盐量多少并不会对普通的健康产生过大的影响。人们平常的食盐量应当恰当合适,而有肾病、肝病或心脏病的人们需要控制食盐量,但不能证明食盐过多会造成高血压。盐并不是人类的敌人,而是人体组织必需的自然元素,除非医生认为你患有与盐有关的疾病,否则无需戒盐。
答案解析:
由短文第一段中的“Smithnoted,‘Betweentheamoutofsodiumapersonconsumesandheartdisease,circulatorydisorders,strokeandevenearlydeath.”’可知。
45.A由第三段中所举的GTE的例子可知“efficienttechnologyiscost.effective”。2022年甘肃省嘉峪关市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
