13.Artandscience

14.B

15.B

16.atat解析：某大學的教授，應為“aprofessorat…university”，所以答案為介詞“at”。

17.firstfirst解析：根據(jù)題意，作者想在這里做一個比較，而比較的對象是目的。這里作者僅僅給出了兩個目的，所以這里是和第一個目的進行比較。故答案為first。

18.alsoalso解析：由35題解析，拼寫有問題的學生必定握筆習慣不好。

19.fastfast解析：由上一句句意“不耐心代表了年輕的腦力工作者們的特點。”可知，本句“他們想…成名”中的空處應填“快速地”。

20.reasonsreasons解析：本段的第一句話提出問題，問為什么在結算處擺設了那么多的商品。很明顯，后面的文章對這個問題進行回答，并列舉了原因。故答案為reasons。

21.onon解析：focuson意為“集中于”，為固定短語。

22.diddid解析：據(jù)38題解析，由于while意為“盡管”，才有后面起強調作用的did，意為“確實”，言下之意有轉折之意。

23.whowho解析：此空后的句子應為teacher的定語從句，故此空處應填who，引導修飾人的定語從句。

24.oftenoften解析：本句話的意思是“那些自我感覺很了不起、內心充滿驕傲的人，總是不需要理由的就被人認為是趾高氣揚的人?！惫蔬@里答案為often。

25.populationpopulation解析：由下一句“越來越多的人正在制造更多的、垃圾?！笨芍?，此處應指“膨脹的人口”，即explodingpopulation。

26.B解析：由第一段可知，兩人是因為肥胖而被送進醫(yī)院的，故B項正確。A、C項文章中未提到。兩個病人不能證明fatlash運動高漲。故D項是錯誤的。

27.C解析：由文章第二段可知C不對，而A、B、D文中均提到了。

28.C解析：A、B、D在文中均提到，是正確的，而C不對，文中提到“Youwouldexpectthemtofindtheirfriendsfromtheirprofessionalassociates，butthisisnotthecase．Rather，theyprefertomakefriendswiththenormalfolkintheirdistricts．”

29.D解析：由本文第二段可知A、B、C均正確，只有D不對。

30.B解析：由文章倒數(shù)第二段第一句“TheelectriccatfishoftheNileandofotherAfricanfreshwatershasadifferentsystemagainbywhichcurrentpassesoverthewholebodyfromthetalltothehead．”可知。

31.A解析：第二段第二句“Mainlybecauseprivatecompanieshavehadlittleincentivetopursueit．”意思是說“私企生產(chǎn)流感疫苗的積極性不高”。接下來作者介紹了制作疫苗的復雜工序，由此可以推斷出流感疫苗生產(chǎn)工藝復雜、成本高。第二段又明確指出了私企不愿意生產(chǎn)流感疫苗的其他原因：利潤率低、需求不穩(wěn)定、此外由于流感病毒每年都不同，因此生產(chǎn)數(shù)量不能過大，由此也可推斷出生產(chǎn)的風險性大，如果生產(chǎn)多了就會損失很大。因此正確答案為A。

32.A解析：由第四段最后兩句話可知，基因并不能決定一切，因此減肥不會因為肥胖基因的干擾而沒有任何作用，故A項正確。B項和作者的觀點是相反的。D項文中未提到。

33.A解析：由A中的第一段“Thepopulationofthecityisabout800,000anditcoversanareaofover69squaremiles．”可知答案為A。

34.C解析：由第三段中的“Forthosecompaniesusingtechnology，theperdocumentcostofinformationprocessingisonlyafractionofwhatitwasafewyearsago．”可知。

35.C解析：越來越多的人贊成Stiglitz的觀點，批評自由貿易和全球化，從“Suchclaimsarenolongereredible，forStiglitzispartofasmallbutgrowinggroupofeconomists，sociologistsandpoliticalscientists…”growing一詞可以看出答案。所以本題應選C。

36.B解析：talkshop意為“談公事”。

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

38.D解析：由短文第一句“Opinionpollsarenowbeginningtoshowthat，whoeveristoblameandwhateverhappensfromnowon，highunemploymentisprobablyheretostay．”可知。

39.D解析：fib意為“撒小謊”。

40.B解析：由B中的第二段最后幾句話“Millerisorderedtotakehissquadbehindenemylinesonadangerousmissiontofindandretrieveoneman：PrivateJamesRyan．”可知。

41.E由上下兩段可知，只有E放在此處可使上下文銜接。

42.C短文解析

A

艾爾斯米爾學校是過去兩年內國內發(fā)展最快的私立學校之一。增長帶來了100萬美元的投資項目和新的低年級學校的建立。高年級學校中提供住宿，有多種A層次課程，并率先使用可視會議技術。學校內各種設施齊全多樣，設有體育場館及劇院。走讀學生有校車接送，住宿學生可以住進整修一新的宿舍。這里的學術水準很高，提供有很多獎學金，鼓勵學生充分發(fā)揮其潛力。

B

埃奇希爾學校擁有l(wèi)00多年的歷史，教育具有獨立思想的學生，使他們能夠適應快速發(fā)展的技術世界。學校注重早期教育，重視學術水準，鼓勵學生發(fā)揮其特長。學校的校訓是“超越完美”，并已獲得全國的承認。另外，學校還重視傳統(tǒng)、紀律和道德價值的教育。未來世界的要求和家庭方式的變化都在教育中得到考慮，使學生在任何領域內都做到出類拔萃。

C

學校擁有出色的學術設施。小教堂、醫(yī)學中心、體育設施一應俱全。學校招收中上水平的女童，不僅僅強調學習，音樂、戲劇、公共演講、辯論能力都被鼓勵。六年級學生可以學到傳統(tǒng)的課程和比較流行的其他課程。另有商業(yè)研究和健康社會護理可以提供直接就業(yè)的途徑。這里強調每個女孩充分發(fā)揮其潛力，人盡其用，培養(yǎng)自信和服務社會的精神。

D

瓦爾帕萊索大學建于1859年，是一所私有獨立的路得教會的大學，由于具有杰出學術造詣，又注重深造而聞名。學院設置了5個本科學院——藝術科學院、工商管理學院、工程學院、護理學院以及基督學院，還有許多研究生項目，包括法律、工商管理方向的碩士點。在校生4000多人。90％的教職工擁有博士學位或其專業(yè)的最高學位。由于優(yōu)秀的生源以及認真的教職工使得學校成為本地區(qū)數(shù)一數(shù)二的學校。畢業(yè)6個月內．超過90%的畢業(yè)生進入專業(yè)領域工作或繼續(xù)深造。

答案解析:

C中提到“Theschoolcatersforgirlsofaverageabilityandabovebutitisnotnarrowlyacademic．”。

43.D第二段第一句提到“…butoldwastefulhabitsdiehard”，可知雖然美國人開始回收利用一些物品，但是那種浪費的舊習慣依然不好消除。最后一句話“．．．itCanbecomestrongeronlyasAmericansseetheneedforitmoleclearly．”也說明了只有當美國人真正意識到環(huán)保的重要性，他們才能更好的具有環(huán)保意識，言外之意就是說他們依然沒有完全意識到環(huán)保的重要性。故應選D。

44.B由B中的第二段最后幾句話“Millerisorderedtotakehissquadbehindenemylinesonadangerousmissiontofindandretrieveoneman：PrivateJamesRyan．”可知。

45.BB第一段提到“…h(huán)asfourmoledevastatingdisastersthantheoldversion”。2021年廣東省茂名市公共英語五級(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________
