15.B

16.FortunatelyFortunately解析：由本句句意“…可以看到有解決辦法的希望了?！笨芍?，此空應(yīng)填“幸運(yùn)的是”。

17.disposedispose解析：由前一句“但是這個(gè)問(wèn)題因?yàn)槲覀兊摹耙淮涡浴奔夹g(shù)而加劇了。”可知，此處應(yīng)為“丟掉，扔掉”之意，即disposeof。

18.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”。

19.killingkilling解析：本句意為“通過(guò)無(wú)控制地使用殺蟲(chóng)劑，人類(lèi)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(yǔ)中無(wú)連詞時(shí)不可能有兩個(gè)謂語(yǔ)，故應(yīng)填killing，killingthewildlife是現(xiàn)在分詞做伴隨狀語(yǔ)。

20.workwork解析：根據(jù)上文，對(duì)比的是對(duì)工作的態(tài)度，所以此處應(yīng)填“work”。

21.ofof解析：“對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)的了解”的英文表達(dá)是“theunderstandingofreality”，這里的介詞用of。故答案為of。

22.toto解析：besubjectedto為固定搭配，“使遭受，使服從”的意思，要學(xué)會(huì)跨過(guò)其他成分尋找主干。所以此處應(yīng)填介詞“to”。

23.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)”。

24.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”。

25.boughtbought解析：本句的前一句話(huà)說(shuō)“顧客認(rèn)為他們需要一些他們其實(shí)不需要的商品?！边@就是廣告的作用。但是買(mǎi)完之后，“他們卻不知道當(dāng)時(shí)為什么買(mǎi)了這種商品?！边@里是被動(dòng)的句式。故答案為bought。

26.C解析：由全文可以推斷，要指出犯罪率下降的確切原因是很困難的。

27.D解析：由D中“TheprojectincludesanewEurostarterminalopeningthisyearandaspruced—upTubestation，alongsidehundredsofnewhomes，officesandleisurefacilitiessettobecompletedin2015．”可以看出將在King’sCross投資建立許多基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。所以此處答案為D。

28.B解析：由B內(nèi)容中的itisrenewable中“NuclearenergyfromUraniumisnotrenewable．”可知答案為B。

29.A解析：文章第一句話(huà)對(duì)用基因療法治療Ashanthi所患罕見(jiàn)疾病的成功給與了很高的評(píng)價(jià)，并在第一段未指出醫(yī)生們對(duì)基因療法寄予了極高的期望。因此正確答案為A。

30.A解析：由A中的第三段“WashingtonistheheadquartersofallthebranchesoftheAmericanfederalsystem：Congress，theSupremeCourtandthePresidency．”可知答案為A。

31.D解析：在第三段中女主人公意識(shí)到也許在四點(diǎn)的服務(wù)的原因是經(jīng)過(guò)精心策劃的而不是隨意粗魯?shù)牧?xí)慣，假期小費(fèi)從隨意的一句謝謝發(fā)展成為黑社會(huì)的保護(hù)勒索，所以作者是被迫的給假期小費(fèi)的。因此正確答案為D。

32.BB解析：該空缺下面的段落都是對(duì)每一個(gè)“myth”的揭示。誰(shuí)來(lái)揭示呢?B項(xiàng)中提到牛津大學(xué)老齡化研究中心成立各個(gè)問(wèn)題研究組。

33.A解析：本文談到青少年自殺問(wèn)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。

34.C解析：由第二段最后一句“Toreceiveareturnontheirinvestment，wisecorporateexecutiveofficersarerealizingwhatindustrialistsandagriculturistslearnedlongago--efficienttoolsareessentialforincreasedproductivity．”可知。

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

36.A解析：pressing意為“緊迫的，急迫的”。

37.EE解析：第一段引出了人們對(duì)未來(lái)的擔(dān)心，認(rèn)為老齡化將會(huì)帶來(lái)各種問(wèn)題。第三段是對(duì)老齡化社會(huì)的肯定，認(rèn)為這是文明發(fā)展的成果?！癿yth”一詞含有杜撰的意思。一些人的擔(dān)心是多余的。E起到承上啟下的作用。

38.C解析：原文對(duì)應(yīng)信息是：“Traditionalscholarships，academicorathletic，arestillapartofmanyfamilies’planning．”意為“許多家庭還在依賴(lài)傳統(tǒng)的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金，不管是學(xué)習(xí)上的還是體育上的?！彼员绢}應(yīng)選C。

39.B解析：文章的第三段指出“…providedprivacyprotectionsforcertainsectorsthroughlegislationsuchastheFinancialServicesModernizationAct．”意思就是“象FinancialServicesModernizationAct這樣的法案就是國(guó)會(huì)為了保護(hù)別人隱私而設(shè)定的?！惫蕬?yīng)選B。

40.D解析：由D中的第一段“…ithasahistoryofmorethan1，300”可知。

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

42.C文中第一段提到“Butsuchbehavioralstudiescannotdistinguishbetweentwocompetingtheoriesofwhysleepisgoodforthememory．”所以他們對(duì)為什么睡眠對(duì)記憶有好處持有不同的觀點(diǎn)，故應(yīng)選C。

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

44.A由A中的最后一句話(huà)“…takeonalleconomy—wideperspectivetodrawlessonsforagriculture，trade，landuseandtaxpolicy．”可知。

45.A由A中的第一段最后一句話(huà)“Atpresent，thePalaceisanelaboratemuseumthatpresentsthelargestandmostcompleteensembleoftraditionalarchitecture．．．”可知。江蘇省常州市公共英語(yǔ)五級(jí)(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級(jí):________姓名:________考號(hào):________
