14.B

15.A

16.sellingselling解析：關(guān)鍵是看and后面的buying。本句話的意思是“商家分析市場的供需情況。”故答案為selling。

17.accordingaccording解析：accordingto意為“根據(jù)”，為固定短語，本句句意為“根據(jù)對…的嚴格調(diào)查，…?！?/p>

18.byby解析：此空所在短句意為“報酬經(jīng)常毀掉創(chuàng)造性，…鼓勵依賴他人的認可和禮物?！憋@然，空處應(yīng)填“通過”，在英語中介詞by即可表達此意。

19.ageage解析：此段話均是在比較不同年齡段的人之間寫字的不同，故此空應(yīng)填“年齡”。

20.whosewhose解析：這是一個后置定語從句，用whose來引導(dǎo)，表示mind與dreamer的所屬關(guān)系。故答案為whose。

21.notnot解析：此空前半句意為“我們真地生活在污染中，呼吸著它”，而后半句意為“它開始…我們的健康、幸福和文明?！憋@然，這是因果關(guān)系，故中間的surprisingly前只能加個否定詞not。

22.toto解析：talkto的意思是“和某人聊天”，talk這里不及物動詞，后面需要接一個介詞。在從句中介詞不能省略。作者這里要表達的意思是“和那些誠實的平易近人的人聊天是很愜意的?！惫蚀鸢笧閠o。

23.towardtoward解析：作者要表達的意思是“我怎么才能對別人誠實。”英語中表達“對某人…”一般是用介詞toward。故答案為toward。

24.whosewhose解析：這是一個后置定語從句，用whose來引導(dǎo)，表示mind與dreamer的所屬關(guān)系。故答案為whose。

25.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”。又因為介詞后只能用dumping，而不能用dump。

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

27.A解析：由A中的最后一句話“…withafictionalTVwitchbeingplayedbyanhonest—to—Godreallifewitch．”可知。

28.EE解析：文章的最后一段中指出“averyfew”、“theelitefew”，而選項中的“averysmallgroupof‘scholars’”也正是指出了這種情況，故應(yīng)選E。

29.D解析：書評一中的“…h(huán)eignoressomekeyargumentsinfavorofthemarket…”，書評二中的“Whilepartsofthisbookaredisappointinglyshallow…”，書評三種的“Stiglitz，58，ishardlythefirstpersontoaccusetheIMF…”都有提到Stiglitz的一些負面的消息。所以本題應(yīng)選D。

30.C解析：通過全文的理解，我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)作者在列數(shù)了經(jīng)濟形勢不好的局面之后，也表明了人們對此依然存在著樂觀態(tài)度，有的人還能從中受益，所以作者的態(tài)度應(yīng)該是“對此加以注意，但不要惶恐。”故應(yīng)選C。

31.A解析：第二段中女主人寫了一封漂亮的假期賀詞給這個她從來沒看到或遇到過的人。這個人在她的想象里就是像射擊一樣把《紐約時報》發(fā)射到她家門前，制造的噪聲要大于人們從黑市購得的鞭炮的聲響。所以她確實不喜歡拉烏爾投遞報紙的這種方式。因此正確答案為A。

32.EE解析：文章第一段講述了毒藤會使人過敏產(chǎn)生疹子，第三段提到85％的人對毒藤中的umshiol過敏，選項E介紹了urushiol一詞的來源，并且介紹了毒藤使人過敏的根本原因就是毒藤中含有這種化學(xué)物質(zhì)。所以本題應(yīng)選E。

33.A解析：由A中第三段中“TheunpopulararchitecturehasledtotheareabeingcalledtheMiltonKeynesofLondon”，A中多處提到Rotherhithe的建筑風(fēng)格很老套。所以此處答案為A。

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

35.DD解析：由上一段中的“Edwina…andcalledhimontheintercom．”可知D中的“．．．closertotheintercom…”與之呼應(yīng)。

36.D解析：由文章第四段可知本題答案為D。

37.A解析：由A中第二段第一句“Intheseniorschool，two-thirdsofthepupilsareboarders，andboardingisavailablefromtheageof11．”可知。

38.C解析：C中提到“Theschoolcatersforgirlsofaverageabilityandabovebutitisnotnarrowlyacademic．”。

39.A解析：由第二段最后一句話可知A項正確。B項不能從文中推知。C項文中沒有提及。男性工人的健康在法律中是得到考慮了的，故D項不正確。

40.D解析：由短文最后一段中的“Butnewmaterialshavenoimpactuntiltheyaremadeintoproducts．．．willdeterminethesuccessorfailureofacountryinthecomingfuture．”。

41.A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”。

42.D文章第三段第二句“Inmostcountriesthecostofcrudeoilnowaccountsforasmallershareofthepriceofpetrolthanitdidinthel970s．InEurope…．”指出原油價格只是石油價格中的一小部分，以歐洲的例子說明稅收高達石油零售價的五分之四，所以石油稅上升會造成油價的大幅度上漲。故應(yīng)選D。

43.B由第四段中的“Thehorsesalelessaffectedthanamanwouldbe，andwhentheelectriceelshaveexhaustedthemselves，theyCanbecaughtwithoutdanger．”可知。

44.B由B中的第一段“NewYorkCity，locatedinNewYorkState，isthelargestcityandthechiefportoftheUnitedStates．”可知答案為B。

45.B由B中的第一段“Theozonelayeristhreatenedbychemicalemissions，theclimateisendangeredfromfossilanddeforestation，…”可知。廣東省汕頭市公共英語五級(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________
