16.awareaware解析：beawareof，固定搭配，意为“意识到”。所以此处应填“aware”。

17.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”。

18.importantimportant解析：从本句后面的一句话可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson就算是重要的人物，他们也不会把这种显赫写在脸上。所以前面应填important。故答案为important。

19.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”。

20.WhenWhen解析：这里的一句话其实与下一半句“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.betweenbetween解析：此句意为“Thomas先生尽管不能在握笔方式和拼写准确性之间建立重要的统计学联系，…”所以答案为介词between。

22.ageage解析：此段话均是在比较不同年龄段的人之间写字的不同，故此空应填“年龄”。

23.dumpingdumping解析：由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质…入河流和湖泊，…”可知，此空处显然应为“倒”。又因为介词后只能用dumping，而不能用dump。

24.accordingaccording解析：accordingto为“依据”，为固定短语，意为国的民意调查”。所以此处填according。

25.thethe解析：此处缺冠词，在年轻人之间，用the表示特指。所以此处应填“the”。

26.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。

27.A解析：文中提到“…urgedcautioninensuringthateffortstoprotectournationdonotresultinbroadgovernmentauthoritytoerodeprivacyrightsofU.S.citizens．”其意思是“保护国家的利益也不应该伤害美国居民的个人隐私权利”，可知作者认为这项提议是不公正的。故应选A。

28.C解析：由C中的第一段“Lookatthetitleofthemovie．TeamAmerica：WorldPolice．ThisdefinitelysoundslikeAmerica．thebigbrothertotheworld，whetherpeoplewantustobeornot．”可知。

29.C解析：由C中的第二段“ThispartrepresentsthetensionsbetweenAmericaandFrance．”可知。

30.C解析：由C中的第一段最后一句话“…occupyingabuildingspaceof90thousandsquaremeters”可知。

31.C解析：选项A即心理学家已经放弃，而生物学家正在展开研究工作。而文中第三句话说“Psychologistsviewthesubjecteitherasamatteroffrustrationorajoke．”即心理学家认为这个研究不是一件沮丧的事，就是一个笑话，此句和选项A含义不一样。选项B即大脑区别显示出一个性别优于另外一个性别。而文中第一段最后一句话说“Butbeingdifferent，theypointouthurriedly，isnotthesameasbei

32.C解析：由C中的howitworks中的第一条“Thiswasoriginallydevelopedinordertoprovideelectricityforsatellites，…”可知答案为C。

33.CC解析：接下来讲的是人体的免疫系统与毒藤之间的关系。毒藤会使人产生什么样的反应，该空紧接的就是毒藤过敏反应时如何产生的。“Here'showthepoisonivyresponseoccurs．”一句承上启下。所以本题应选C。

34.C解析：文中第一段提到“Butsuchbehavioralstudiescannotdistinguishbetweentwocompetingtheoriesofwhysleepisgoodforthememory．”所以他们对为什么睡眠对记忆有好处持有不同的观点，故应选C。

35.A解析：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。

36.B解析：文中提到，在一家企业中，最昂贵的资源是人力资源。

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.A解析：文章的主要目的是什么?短文介绍科学家在有关大脑结构方面的研究成果。B、C、D只是片面上的。所以本题应选A。

39.A解析：由本文倒数第二段可知，B、C、D均正确，只有A不对。

40.D解析：由D中的最后一段“Considerations…，onhowviolencecandestroyahumansoul…．”可知。

41.B文章第三段最后两句话“Moreover，itbecomesunworkable．．．theInternetdoesnotknowgeographicboundaries，andcompaniesandindividualscannotbeexpectedtocomplywithdiffering，andattimesconflicting，privacyrules．”这说明各州制定的法律是不好实施的，因为网络是不具有地域限制的。这种法律不能仅仅限制在某个州的范围之内。故应选B。

42.A文章第三段第一句话“Yettherearcgoodreasonstoexpecttheeconomicconsequencesnowtobelessseverethaninthe1970s．”表明这次的油价上涨不会像以前那样带来严重的后果。从文章最后一段“0nemorereasonnottolosesleepovertheriseinoilpricesisthat，…”来看，我们不会为石油价格的上涨而失眠，也说明了这次的上涨影响不会很大。故应选A。

43.B由B中的第一段“…andglobalbiodiversityisbeinglostbyreasonofthousandsofyearsofhabitatconversions．”可知。

44.C文中提到“Onhis30-minutecommute，．．．dreamupnewwaysof…”。

45.D由D的第一段最后一句话“Itallowsgamerstochallengeotherplayersinteam—basedmultiplayergamesonXboxLiveandSystemLink”可知。宁夏回族自治区吴忠市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
