14.B

15.Totakeinformation．

16.whatwhat解析：解析同上。這里是一個名詞性從句，what在句中做主語。故答案為what。

17.thatthat解析：此空后的內容為maintain的內容，即此空后的句子為maintain的賓語，應填一個可引導賓語從句的詞。

18.surveysurvey解析：根據后面的數據，空缺處指的是1993年的一項調查問卷，所以此處應填“survey”。

19.onon解析：dependenceon意為“依賴，依靠”，是固定短語。

20.personperson解析：本句話的意思是“與此相反的一類人是那些想入非非的人?！备鶕舷挛牡囊筮@里應該填入man的同義詞。故答案為person。

21.atat解析：此題考固定搭配，atone’sdisposal，意為“任某人自由支配、使喚”。所以此處應填介詞“at”。

22.takestakes解析：要注意時態(tài)，這里意為“占據”，所以所以此處應填“takes”。

23.gogo解析：gotoone’sheads的意思是“展現、表現”，俗語。用在文中表示“把…寫在臉上”，生怕別人不知道的顯擺。故答案為go。

24.whosewhose解析：此句意為“StephanieThomas，一位學習輔導老師，…發(fā)現已經發(fā)表了…。”由此可知，空處所填單詞必為whose，引導定語從句，修飾teacher。

25.itit解析：本句意為“‘污染’意思是弄臟——表層土或什么東西，通過引進雜質，這使…不健康或不干凈?！憋@然，此空處應指topsoilorsomething，因為前面已出現，所以用it來代替。

26.FF解析：由此空上下文可以看出，選項中只有F放在此處符合邏輯，上下文才能連貫。

27.D解析：由D中的最后一段倒數第二句話“ThetempleisacombinationofHan，TibetanandNepalesearchitecturaltechniques．”可知。

28.FF解析：此空填入F，上下文銜接，意思連貫。

29.B解析：由短文第一段最后一句“Exoticplastics，glassandceramicswillshapethefuturejustassurelyashavegeneticengineeringandcomputerscience．”可知，本文提到了三種新材料。

30.D解析：由D中的第三段“Theauthorarguesthatpollutioniscontrolledbyincreasingtherelativepriceofthepollutinggoodsintheproductionprocess”可知。

31.A解析：由短文最后一段中的“Andthattransitioncouldprovedifficult，forswitchingrequireslengthyresearchandinvestment．”。

32.D解析：由本文第二段可知A、B、C均正確，只有D不對。

33.C解析：Stiglitz在經濟學領域享有的盛譽，C中“themostprominentandhisemergence”，“acelebratedtheoristwhowasawardedthe2001NobelPrize…”等詞都可以看出他的杰出貢獻。所以本題應選C。

34.D解析：由D中的第二段第一句話“…thatelementsofitcanbefoundinvirtuallyevery‘organizedcrimefilm’nowadays；…”可知。

35.C解析：由C中的howitworks中的第一條“Thiswasoriginallydevelopedinordertoprovideelectricityforsatellites…．．”可知答案為C。

36.D解析：原文對應信息是：“Eagertoboosttheirmagazinerankings，whicharebasedinpartonthetestscoresOfenteringfreshmen．they'rethrowingmoreaidatsmarterkids—whethertheyneeditornot．”該句話說明“學校為了提高其雜志排名，就給那些比較聰明的孩子經濟上給予較大的幫助，不管他們需不需要幫助”。由此可以看出，急需幫助的學生并不一定就能

37.A解析：作者的態(tài)度從文章第一句話和最后一句話就可以明顯判斷出來。第一句話說基因療法是20世紀的偉大成就之一，最后一句話說“Everybodyrecognizesthatgenetherapyisaverygoodidea”，由此可見作者對基因療法持積極樂觀的態(tài)度。因此正確答案為A。

38.A解析：第六段中男主人看到清理垃圾的車，誤以為是Mickey來了，正要出去澄清誤會，把上次的小費補上，卻遭到了回收員的蔑視，所以他感到澄清誤會的機會是很渺茫了，對于假期小費的事情他已經絕望了。因此正確答案為A。

39.A解析：由全文看，作者支持的一種觀點是“為所有人創(chuàng)造工作機會是不可能的”。

40.BB解析：由下一段第—句“Thepoker-lovingLouis-Dreyfusknew…”可知此空處填B最合適，因為“Louis-Dreyfus，scionof…”必定在下一段之前邏輯上才講得通。

41.D由D中的第一段“itreallyisnotmuchofasurprisethatitisnowconsideredbymanyoneofthetopfivemoviesofalltime．”可知。

42.A從文章最后一句話“BecauseofHome’semphasiscrucialtoanystudyofart，thetwentiethcenturyhascometoappreciateBotticelli’sachievements．”可以看出，作者認為波提切利的作品在二十一世紀會被重新的認識，人們會重新認識他作品的成就。故應選A。

43.D由D中的最后一段“Considerations．．．，0nhowviolencecandestroyahumansoul，．．．”可知。

44.A同樣，根據上下兩段意思推知，此處只有A可以將上下兩段連接上。

45.C由C中的howitworks中的第一條“Thiswasoriginallydevelopedinordertoprovideelectricityforsatellites，…．”可知答案為C。安徽省巢湖市公共英語五級(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________
