15.Theirmemory．

16.normalnormal解析：根據(jù)上下文可以判斷此處句意為“很正常的事情”，因此此處應(yīng)填“normal”。

17.thosethose解析：文章中提到“16-19歲之間的日本青年跟25-29歲之間的青年對(duì)比”，這里缺少代詞，替代“Japaneseyouth”。所以此處應(yīng)填“those”

18.reasonsreasons解析：本段的第一句話提出問題，問為什么在結(jié)算處擺設(shè)了那么多的商品。很明顯，后面的文章對(duì)這個(gè)問題進(jìn)行回答，并列舉了原因。故答案為reasons。

19.asas解析：such…as意為“這樣的…如”。此空后為并列的三個(gè)分詞短語，即“如”后跟的例舉事項(xiàng)。

20.ofof解析：deprivesb．ofsth．為固定短語，意為“剝奪某人的某東西(或某權(quán)利)”。

21.beingbeing解析：avoiddoingsth．意為“避免…”，avoid后必須跟名詞或動(dòng)名詞。beovercritical意為“過分挑剔的”。

22.toto解析：revertto意為“重想，重提”，此句意為“如果你經(jīng)常提到‘我們以前已經(jīng)試著這樣做了，但是不管用’就會(huì)很快地挫傷這種好問的頭腦”。

23.killingkilling解析：本句意為“通過無控制地使用殺蟲劑，人類已經(jīng)污染了土地，…野生動(dòng)物?！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)填“殺害”，但不能填kill，因?yàn)橛⒄Z中無連詞時(shí)不可能有兩個(gè)謂語，故應(yīng)填killing，killingthewildlife是現(xiàn)在分詞做伴隨狀語。

24.killingkilling解析：本句意為“通過無控制地使用殺蟲劑，人類已經(jīng)污染了土地，…野生動(dòng)物?！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)填“殺害”，但不能填kill，因?yàn)橛⒄Z中無連詞時(shí)不可能有兩個(gè)謂語，故應(yīng)填killing，killingthewildlife是現(xiàn)在分詞做伴隨狀語。

25.accordingaccording解析：此句意為“…一項(xiàng)個(gè)性與社會(huì)心理學(xué)的六月雜志的研究?！憋@然，空處應(yīng)填“根據(jù)”。

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

27.C解析：由短文第三段中“Theindustrialagemaynowbecomingtoanend，andsomeofthechangesinworkpatternswhichitbroughtmayhavetobereversed．”可知。

28.C解析：通過全文的理解，我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)作者在列數(shù)了經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢(shì)不好的局面之后，也表明了人們對(duì)此依然存在著樂觀態(tài)度，有的人還能從中受益，所以作者的態(tài)度應(yīng)該是“對(duì)此加以注意，但不要惶恐?！惫蕬?yīng)選C。

29.A解析：由A中內(nèi)容的introduction中“…providingaround20%oftheworld'selectricity.”可知答案為A。

30.D解析：由短文最后一段中的“Butnewmaterialshavenoimpactuntiltheyaremadeintoproducts．．．willdeterminethesuccessorfailureofacountryinthecomingfuture．”。

31.B解析：由文章第一段第一句“Insuranceissupposedtoprovideprotectionagainstfinancialrisks…”可知。

32.B解析：文章第三段最后兩句話“Moreover，itbecomesunworkable．．．theInternetdoesnotknowgeographicboundaries，andcompaniesandindividualscannotbeexpectedtocomplywithdiffering，andattimesconflicting，privacyrules．”這說明各州制定的法律是不好實(shí)施的，因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)絡(luò)是不具有地域限制的。這種法律不能僅僅限制在某個(gè)州的范圍之內(nèi)。故應(yīng)選B。

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

34.B解析：由B中的第四句話“ThenorthernpartoftheTempleiscircularwhilethesouthernpartissquare，”可知.

35.A解析：文章第三段提到“TheAmericanideaofthenationalgoodhasneverbeenbasedonnationalcooperationbutratheronthefreedomoftheindividual，…”這說明美國(guó)的國(guó)家利益不是建立在全民合作基礎(chǔ)之上的，相反，這種基礎(chǔ)是個(gè)人的自由。故應(yīng)選A。

36.A解析：本文談到青少年自殺問題，自殺顯然不會(huì)是C、D，故排除。cool也并不是這些孩子自殺的目的，只有A合適。

37.B解析：同樣，由短文第一段最后一句可知作者提到基因工程和計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)就是為了表明新材料對(duì)未來世界的重要性。

38.FF解析：第一個(gè)“myth”認(rèn)為隨著人口老齡化的增長(zhǎng)，西方國(guó)家的醫(yī)療體系會(huì)癱瘓。研究中的一位人口統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)家指出問題的關(guān)鍵是要建成靈活自由的醫(yī)療服務(wù)結(jié)構(gòu)。

39.AA解析：第二個(gè)“myth”是擔(dān)心人口老齡化會(huì)使工作人員越來越少。研究中心人員提出應(yīng)該給年長(zhǎng)的人提供各種培訓(xùn)機(jī)會(huì)。A中“Ourstudiesshowthattherearebenefitsfromhavinganage-integratedworkforce．”說“研究表明不同年齡段的勞動(dòng)力的融合也會(huì)有許多好處”。

40.A解析：從文章最后一句話“BecauseofHome’semphasiscrucialtoanystudyofart，thetwentiethcenturyhascometoappreciateBotticelli’sachievements．”可以看出，作者認(rèn)為波提切利的作品在二十一世紀(jì)會(huì)被重新的認(rèn)識(shí)，人們會(huì)重新認(rèn)識(shí)他作品的成就。故應(yīng)選A。

41.B文章最后一段第二句話“Competitionsometimesencouragesfeelingsofsuspicionratherthanthemutualtrustthatisnecessaryforsuccessfulnationalcooperation．”說明競(jìng)爭(zhēng)有時(shí)會(huì)助長(zhǎng)懷疑的意識(shí)，而不是合作需要的相互信任。故應(yīng)選B。

42.A由此空上一段的“…onefriendsaid…”可知此處應(yīng)為：Anotherfriend…。

43.B短文賞析

石油輸出國(guó)組織在3月份決定減少原油供應(yīng)，原油價(jià)格立即猛漲了3倍。本周伊拉克暫停石油出口，這使得油價(jià)又一次上揚(yáng)。強(qiáng)勁的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)勢(shì)頭，隨著北半球冬季的到來，有可能在短期內(nèi)使石油價(jià)格漲得更高。但是人們并不恐慌，這是因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在多數(shù)國(guó)家的原油價(jià)格占汽油價(jià)格的份額要小很多，發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家對(duì)石油的依賴性也不如從前，因此對(duì)油價(jià)的波動(dòng)也就不會(huì)那么敏感了。另外一個(gè)原因是，與20世紀(jì)70年代不同，這次油價(jià)上升并不是發(fā)生在普遍的物價(jià)暴漲及全球需求過旺背景之下。

解析：

文章的第二句中“SinceOPECagreedtosupply-cutsinMarch，thepriceofcrudeoilhasjumpedtoalmost$26abarrel，．．．”，說明油價(jià)上漲是由于石油輸出國(guó)組織最近的減少供應(yīng)導(dǎo)致的。故應(yīng)選B。

44.A只有A“hasnoeasytrackforthegame”。

45.C由c中的最后一句“Als0，informationinthehandbookonusingchildrestrainswasnotadequate．”可知。2021-2022年安徽省安慶市公共英語五級(jí)(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級(jí):________姓名:________考號(hào):________
