14.A

15.Afamily'sname．

16.whichwhich解析：由此句句子成分分析，此空以后的應(yīng)為定語(yǔ)從句，修飾characteristics，所以此空應(yīng)填which，引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句。

17.takestakes解析：要注意時(shí)態(tài)，這里意為“占據(jù)”，所以所以此處應(yīng)填“takes”。

18.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”。

19.promisingpromising解析：此句意為“一家大制造公司最近采訪了許多…的工程師，這些工程師都已離開這家公司。”由上下句判斷，此空處填“有希望的，有前景的”最合句意。

20.unlikeunlike解析：根據(jù)下文，以日本學(xué)生與美國(guó)和韓國(guó)的作對(duì)比，日本的學(xué)生不像韓國(guó)和美國(guó)的學(xué)生一樣。所以此處應(yīng)填“unlike”。

21.towardtoward解析：作者要表達(dá)的意思是“我怎么才能對(duì)別人誠(chéng)實(shí)?！庇⒄Z(yǔ)中表達(dá)“對(duì)某人…”一般是用介詞toward。故答案為toward。

22.butbut解析：這里表達(dá)的前后句意是一種轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。前面說“hemayhavedreams，”而后面“hedoesnotallowthemtoblockhisknowledge…”的意思卻是“但是他也不會(huì)讓這些夢(mèng)想阻擋自己對(duì)什么是現(xiàn)實(shí)的理解。”故答案為but。

23.fromfrom解析：“來自…的數(shù)據(jù)”，要用介詞“from”。所以此處應(yīng)填“from”。

24.dumpingdumping解析：由本句句意“通過將污水和化學(xué)物質(zhì)…人河流和湖泊，…”可知，此空處顯然應(yīng)為“倒”。又因?yàn)榻樵~后只能用dumping，而不能用dump。

25.againstagainst解析：guardagainst意為“防止，防范，警惕”，為固定短語(yǔ)，against，也可以省略。

26.B解析：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。

27.C解析：由C中的第一段“Thecityisnowthelargestindustrialcityinthecountry．”可知答案為C。

28.AA解析：上一段最后一句“…suchasdrainingblood…”與A中的“Themassivewartimeblooddrives…”對(duì)應(yīng)。

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

30.D解析：由D中的第三段第二句話“CaliforniaisaleadingstateintheproductionofelectronicproductsandtheareaofLosAngeleshasgrownintoallimportantelectroniccenter．”可知答案為D。

31.AA解析：下面一段講的是其他方法來鑒別毒藤，所以看過選項(xiàng)之后，我們可以推斷出該空缺的是一些鑒別毒藤的方法，urushiol存在于毒藤的各個(gè)部分，最好避免接觸毒藤的任何一處。其存在于美國(guó)的各個(gè)州，三個(gè)葉子的肯定不是毒藤等信息。注意下一段的關(guān)鍵詞“other”。所以本題應(yīng)選A。

32.B解析：由短文第四段第一句“…the17thand18thcenturiesmademanypeopledependentonpaidworkbydeprivingthemoftheuseoftheland，…”可知。

33.DD解析：由上一段最后一句可知，只有D放在此處才能連貫，D為上一段最后一句的舉例。

34.A解析：從第二段前兩句話可以看出，婦女被以能力和需要的理由勸離工廠，故A項(xiàng)正確。沒有足夠的工作給老兵不是由限制婦女工作時(shí)間的法律造成的，所以B項(xiàng)不正確。C項(xiàng)文中沒有提及。根據(jù)文章第三段可知婦女的健康不是改善了，而是下降了，故D項(xiàng)也不正確。

35.D解析：第四段提到基因療法遭受的一起挫折——一個(gè)病人因接受基因療法而死亡；接著講專家擔(dān)心運(yùn)動(dòng)員利用基因在比賽中作弊會(huì)進(jìn)一步tarnish這一領(lǐng)域，從上下文邏輯推理，應(yīng)該是“有損，玷污”這一類的意思，因此正確答案為D。

36.B解析：此題是有關(guān)作者態(tài)度的問題。由第5、6段可以看出女客服的回答兩人很不滿，很沮喪。所以本題應(yīng)選B。

37.C解析：瓦薩利在文中第一段說到“VasariexpressedanuneasewithBotticelli'swork，…”說明他的態(tài)度是反對(duì)的，后來在最后一段中間部分“However,HomearguedthatBotticelli…emphasizedcleardepletionofastory,auniqueachievement…”表明霍姆的態(tài)度是肯定的。故應(yīng)選C。

38.C解析：由第三段最后一句“Lifeinsuranceisan…isnotsubjecttotaxes，incontrasttootherpersonalinvestments．”可知。

39.C解析：從第一段最后一句話“Botticelli’sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste，pleasingneitheramateurobserversnorconnoisseurs．”可知，作者講述了那些評(píng)論家，不管是業(yè)余的還是職業(yè)的，他們都不滿意它的作品風(fēng)格。所以這個(gè)詞的意思可能是“對(duì)作品做出評(píng)論的那些業(yè)余人士”。故應(yīng)選C。

40.D解析：由D中的第一段“itreallyisnotmuchofasurprisethatitisnowconsideredbymanyoneofthetopfivemoviesofalltime．”可知。

41.C短文賞析

今天的觀眾已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了他們慣?？吹降挠詈絾T的形象了，但是到底是什么使宇航員區(qū)別于常人的呢?如果你要采訪一名宇航員，你需要申請(qǐng)、等待，最終得到采訪機(jī)會(huì)后還不能詢問任何有關(guān)于他們私生活的事情。做宇航員當(dāng)然要求有不同的素質(zhì)，例如健康狀況極佳、能夠高度集中注意力和超凡的勇氣等，當(dāng)然還要掌握科學(xué)知識(shí)。宇航員的年齡一般在40歲左右，而他們的婚姻生活則令人羨慕，極少有人會(huì)離婚。宇航員住在基地周圍的小社區(qū)中，但是他們的日常生活卻和平常人一樣，并喜歡結(jié)交圈子之外的朋友。他們的政治觀點(diǎn)一般偏右。

答案解析:

本文第二段中提到“．．．becausealltheastronautshavecon．tractswithanAmericanmagazineunderconditionsforbiddinganyunauthorizeddisclosuresabouttheirprivatefives．”

42.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執(zhí)行。

43.A由短文最后一段中的“Andthattransitioncouldprovedifficult．forswitchingrequireslengthyresearchandinvestment．”。

44.D由上一段最后一句可知，只有D放在此處才能連貫，D為上一段最后一句的舉例。

45.B由B中的第一句“HondasaysitsspecialVTECenginehasawinningcombinationofeconomyandperformance，．．．”可知。2021年甘肅省天水市公共英語(yǔ)五級(jí)(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級(jí):________姓名:________考號(hào):________
