16.wherewhere解析：此題考查where引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句，修飾前面提到的plane，trainorbus。所以此處應(yīng)填關(guān)系副詞“where”。

17.worseworse解析：“the+比較級(jí)，the+比較級(jí)”，意為“越…越…，”根據(jù)上下文，本句句意為“身邊的小玩意兒越多，事情似乎就會(huì)變得越糟糕?！彼源颂帒?yīng)填“worse”。

18.thatthat解析：此空之后的內(nèi)容為suggests的內(nèi)容，即此處應(yīng)填that，引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句。

19.ofof解析：beofthesame…意為“是一樣…”，此句意為“…在正確的指導(dǎo)下，他們能繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)，繼續(xù)通過(guò)干許多一樣復(fù)雜的工作而獲得多樣性?！?/p>

20.butbut解析：此句意為“30歲的人表現(xiàn)出非常不同的握筆方式，…超過(guò)40歲的人都統(tǒng)一用三個(gè)手指握筆。”顯然，此空處表轉(zhuǎn)折。

21.thoughthough解析：參見(jiàn)47題解析，由本句句意“…更便宜，…它的95％的部件仍可以使用?！笨芍丝仗帒?yīng)填“盡管，即使”，即eventhough。

22.nono解析：本句話(huà)的意思是“那些趾高氣揚(yáng)的人不可能是那些平易近人的人”。這是否定的意思，故答案為no。

23.drinkingdrinking解析：由本句句意“通過(guò)將污水和化學(xué)物質(zhì)倒入河流和湖泊，我們已經(jīng)污染了我們的…水?！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)為“飲用”。

24.betweenbetween解析：“…relation…actionsandtheirconsequences”意為“…行動(dòng)和它們的結(jié)果…關(guān)系”，空處顯然缺“之間”。

25.whichwhich解析：“聲譽(yù)建立的基礎(chǔ)”英語(yǔ)表達(dá)為“thefoundationonwhichreputationsarebuilt”，which指代foundations。

26.D解析：由D中的最后一段倒數(shù)第二句話(huà)“ThetempleisacombinationofHan,TibetanandNepalesearchitecturaltechniques.”可知。

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

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

29.D解析：原文對(duì)應(yīng)信息是：“Eagertoboosttheirmagazinerankings，whicharebasedinpartonthetestscoresOfenteringfreshmen．they'rethrowingmoreaidatsmarterkids—whethertheyneeditornot．”該句話(huà)說(shuō)明“學(xué)校為了提高其雜志排名，就給那些比較聰明的孩子經(jīng)濟(jì)上給予較大的幫助，不管他們需不需要幫助”。由此可以看出，急需幫助的學(xué)生并不一定就能

30.C解析：選項(xiàng)A即心理學(xué)家已經(jīng)放棄，而生物學(xué)家正在展開(kāi)研究工作。而文中第三句話(huà)說(shuō)“Psychologistsviewthesubjecteitherasamatteroffrustrationorajoke．”即心理學(xué)家認(rèn)為這個(gè)研究不是一件沮喪的事，就是一個(gè)笑話(huà)，此句和選項(xiàng)A含義不一樣。選項(xiàng)B即大腦區(qū)別顯示出一個(gè)性別優(yōu)于另外一個(gè)性別。而文中第一段最后一句話(huà)說(shuō)“Butbeingdifferent，theypointouthurriedly，isnotthesameasbeingbetterorworse．”即他們指出盡管有區(qū)別，但并不能說(shuō)明誰(shuí)優(yōu)誰(shuí)劣，此句和選項(xiàng)B含義不一樣。選項(xiàng)D兩性大腦結(jié)構(gòu)的區(qū)別早已為人所知。而文中第三段第三句話(huà)說(shuō)“Thisisthefirsttimethatastructuraldifferencehasbeenfoundbetweenthebrainsofwomenandmen…”即這是第一次人們發(fā)現(xiàn)了兩性大腦結(jié)構(gòu)的不同，此句和選項(xiàng)D含義不一樣。所以本題應(yīng)選C。

31.D解析：由第四段第一句“However，MacDonaldandotherswarnaganistusinginsurancepoliciespurelyasaninvestment．”可知。

32.B解析：由B中“Thesesellforanythingbetween￡2millionand￡5million．”，每套住房銷(xiāo)售價(jià)格在200萬(wàn)英鎊到500萬(wàn)英鎊之間不等，極其昂貴。所以此處答案為B。

33.B解析：根據(jù)第三段和第四段的論述，我們可以得知作者的總體看法，即特別的勞工防護(hù)法并沒(méi)有保護(hù)婦女的權(quán)益，故B項(xiàng)正確。A項(xiàng)與作者的觀點(diǎn)明顯相悖，所以不正確。C項(xiàng)從文中不能推知，故不正確。文中沒(méi)有提到男性工人的保護(hù)問(wèn)題，故D項(xiàng)也不正確。

34.A解析：第六段中男主人看到清理垃圾的車(chē)，誤以為是Mickey來(lái)了，正要出去澄清誤會(huì)，把上次的小費(fèi)補(bǔ)上，卻遭到了回收員的蔑視，所以他感到澄清誤會(huì)的機(jī)會(huì)是很渺茫了，對(duì)于假期小費(fèi)的事情他已經(jīng)絕望了。因此正確答案為A。

35.B解析：由B中的disadvantage中“Althoughnotmuchwasteisproduced,itisvery，verydangerous.Itmustbesealedupandburiedformanyyearstoallowtheradioactivitytodieaway.”可知答案為B。

36.CC解析：由此空上幾段看，均是在講述Louis-Dreyfus的事，而下一段則提到另一個(gè)人MichaelMichalsky，故此空應(yīng)為C，因?yàn)镃中講述的仍是Louis-Dreyfus的事。

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

38.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(lái)世界的重要性。

39.B解析：由短文第二段中的“Differentkindsoftaxeshelptospreadthetaxburden…Thatiswhythethreelevelsofgovernmentinthiscountry．．．thisspreadstheburdenoftaxesamongmorepeople．”。

40.D解析：fib意為“撒小謊”。

41.B第三段中Dr．Laragh提到“…所以建議所有人應(yīng)該少吃鹽沒(méi)有意義?！笨梢酝浦难韵轮馐恰搬t(yī)生不應(yīng)建議人們不吃鹽”。

42.B由B中的第二段“Thecitywithitsgoodharborwasdiscoveredasearlyasl524，anditwasestablishedbyDutchwhonamedthecityNewAmsterdam．”可知答案為B。

43.C由第三段最后一句“Lifeinsuranceisan．．．isnotsubjecttotaxes．incontrasttootherpersonalinvestments．”可知。

44.A文章第三段第一句“Yettherearegoodreasonstoexpecttheeconomicconsequencesnowtobelessseverethaninthel970s．”和第四段第一句都指出“Richeconomiesarealsolessdependentonoilthantheywere，andsolesssensitivetoswingsintheoilprice．”也就是說(shuō)各國(guó)有很好的理由盼望現(xiàn)在的經(jīng)濟(jì)后果會(huì)比二十世紀(jì)七十年代的情況樂(lè)觀。發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家對(duì)石油的依賴(lài)性較以前有所下降，因而對(duì)石油價(jià)格變動(dòng)的敏感度也降低，這些都表明作者是持有樂(lè)觀態(tài)度的。故應(yīng)選A。

45.A由此空上一段的“…onefriendsaid…”可知此處應(yīng)為：Anotherfriend…。2022年安徽省池州市公共英語(yǔ)五級(jí)(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級(jí):________姓名:________考號(hào):________
