15.Aneighbor

16.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”。

17.productionproduction解析：從前一句話“Themanufacturersgobeyondonlytellingconsumersabouttheirproducts．”可以看出，一方面廣告要介紹自己的產(chǎn)品，而第二個目的就是賣掉自己的產(chǎn)品。所以這里作者想要表達的意思是“廣告要使得顧客有一種購買的欲望去購買自己的產(chǎn)品。”故答案為production。

18.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)通過干許多一樣復(fù)雜的工作而獲得多樣性?！?/p>

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

20.nono解析：本句話的意思是“那些趾高氣揚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。

21.farfar解析：能修飾too的副詞只有far或much。

22.thosethose解析：文章中提到“16-19歲之間的日本青年跟25-29歲之間的青年對比”，這里缺少代詞，替代“Japaneseyouth”。所以此處應(yīng)填“those”

23.happinesshappiness解析：根據(jù)上下文，日本年輕人更看重追求個人的幸福。所以此處應(yīng)填“happiness”。

24.gogo解析：gotoone’sheads的意思是“展現(xiàn)、表現(xiàn)”，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。

25.withwith解析：根據(jù)對等關(guān)系，這里應(yīng)該與后面的部分“apersonwithagoodunderstanding”相對應(yīng)。意思是“那些腳踏實地的人往往是那些很了解現(xiàn)實的人。”故答案為with。

26.DD解析：此處的前一段說明的是一些特殊情況，例如“Thesameistrueofthecrippledorphysicallyhandicapped.”而后面的一段指出“Ofcourse．meoppositeisalsotrue.”也就是說在空白的地方，作者依然在說明這些不尋常的情況，故應(yīng)選D。

27.A解析：第二段中指出“…whenbrainandbodyareactive”，大腦積極運轉(zhuǎn)是眼珠快速轉(zhuǎn)動的主要特征，且在第三、四段又再次說明。選項B“被研究者很快的反應(yīng)速度”，選項C“復(fù)雜的記憶模式”和選項D“前一天事件的重現(xiàn)”都不是眼球快速運動的主要特征。故應(yīng)選A。

28.D解析：deforestation意為“濫伐森林”。

29.A解析：由A中最后一句“TheCollegehasanationalreputationforthequalityofitsdyslexiaprovision．”可知。

30.C解析：由短文第一段中的“Smithnoted，‘Betweentheamoutofsodiumapersonconsumesandheartdisease，circulatorydisorders，strokeandevenearlydeath．’”可知。

31.B解析：由B中的第一段“Theozonelayeristhreatenedbychemicalemissions，theclimateisendangeredfromfossilanddeforestation…．”可知。

32.A解析：從文章最后一段“Potentialhomebuyerswouldcheerforlowerinterestrates.Employerswouldn'tmindalittlefewerbubblesinthe{obmarket…”可以看出，盡管經(jīng)濟形勢不好，但是還是有人能夠受益的，比如說，想買房子的人認(rèn)為這種低利息，就業(yè)市場等等。故應(yīng)選A。

33.C解析：由第三段中的“Forthosecompaniesusingtechnology，theperdocumentcostofinformationprocessingisonlyafractionofwhatitwasafewyearsago．”可知。

34.A解析：從文章最后一段“Potentialhomebuyerswouldcheerforlowerinterestrates．Employerswouldn’tmindalittlefewerbubblesinthejobmarket…”可以看出，盡管經(jīng)濟形勢不好，但是還是有人能夠受益的，比如說，想買房子的人認(rèn)為這種低利息，就業(yè)市場等等。故應(yīng)選A。

35.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。

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

37.B解析：對于婦女的慣常思維沒有因為法律而變化，所以A項不正確。根據(jù)第二段第一句話可知B項正確。從常識判斷，雇主是不會主動提出提高婦女權(quán)益保護的，所以他們的保護不會比立法前多，故C項是不正確的。D項從文中不能推斷出。

38.D解析：由短文第六段可知答案為D。

39.C解析：由C中的第一段“Themonastery—likepalace…wasthereligiousandpoliticalcenterofoldTibetandthewinterpalaceofDalaiLamas．”可知。

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

41.B原文的第三段最后“Whattheydidnotknow．．．followedapattern--whatisreferredtoas”artificialgrammar“．Yetthereductionsinresponsetimeshowedthat…”說明了這種內(nèi)在模式，也就是“artificialgrammar”，對于記憶的重要性。故應(yīng)選B。

42.D由短文第六段可知答案為D。

43.A文中提到“．．．urgedcautioninensuringthateffortstoprotectournationdonotresultinbroadgovernmentauthoritytoerodeprivacyrightsofU．S．citizens．”其意思是“保護國家的利益也不應(yīng)該傷害美國居民的個人隱私權(quán)利”，可知作者認(rèn)為這項提議是不公正的。故應(yīng)選A。

44.C瓦薩利在文中第一段說到“VasariexpressedalluneasewithBotticelli’swork，．．．”說明他的態(tài)度是反對的，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。

45.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”。遼寧省沈陽市公共英語五級(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________
