16.unlikeunlike解析：根據(jù)下文，以日本學(xué)生與美國和韓國的作對(duì)比，日本的學(xué)生不像韓國和美國的學(xué)生一樣。所以此處應(yīng)填“unlike”。

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.oppositeopposite解析：從文章第二段的內(nèi)容可以看出，Adown-to-earthperson和那些表面上裝的很重要的人物正好相反。所以這里應(yīng)填“相反的”，故答案為opposite。

19.andand解析：“both…and…”為固定搭配，“兩者都”。所以此處應(yīng)填“and”。

20.onon解析：focuson意為“集中于”，為固定短語。

21.surveysurvey解析：根據(jù)后面的數(shù)據(jù)，空缺處指的是1993年的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查問卷，所以此處應(yīng)填“survey”。

22.toto解析：“shift”意為“轉(zhuǎn)變”，“從…到…的轉(zhuǎn)變”應(yīng)該用介詞“to”。所以此處應(yīng)填“to”。

23.rationalrational解析：從文章的后面可以知道，顧客們已經(jīng)要結(jié)算了，認(rèn)為都買了該買的商品。但是售貨員在他們等著付賬的過程中巧妙的利用顧客們的購物沖動(dòng)向他們推銷，而不是理性購物。故答案為rational。

24.pollpoll解析：此句意為“Synovate市場(chǎng)研發(fā)公司的調(diào)查顯示”，poll的意思為“民意調(diào)查”。因此答案為“poll”。

25.againstagainst解析：guardagainst意為“防止，防范，警惕”，為固定短語，against也可以省略。

26.B解析：由B中的后面部分“Themostimportantconstructions…HeavenKitchen，…othersofhistoricinterestandscenicbeauty。”可知。

27.C解析：由C中倒數(shù)第二段中的“GNVQinbusinessstudiesandhealthandsocialcareprovidesanalternativevocationalpathwayto…”可知。

28.B解析：從第五段中描述到，看到裝著支票的信封沒有了，但是垃圾還在，所以作者的丈夫懷疑信封是被別人偷走了，立馬就通知銀行作廢了這張支票。所以Mickey最終還是沒有從銀行中取走錢。因此正確答案為B。

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

30.A解析：“這些區(qū)別”指的是什么?短文第五段主題句說“Butitisn’tallthateasytoexplaintheactualdifferencesbetweenskillsofmenandwomenonthisbasis．”即在此基礎(chǔ)上解釋兩性技能的區(qū)別并不是很容易的事。由此可見，“這些區(qū)別”指的是兩性技能。所以本題應(yīng)選A。

31.B解析：對(duì)于婦女的慣常思維沒有因?yàn)榉啥兓?，所以A項(xiàng)不正確。根據(jù)第二段第一句話可知B項(xiàng)正確。從常識(shí)判斷，雇主是不會(huì)主動(dòng)提出提高婦女權(quán)益保護(hù)的，所以他們的保護(hù)不會(huì)比立法前多，故C項(xiàng)是不正確的。D項(xiàng)從文中不能推斷出。

32.C解析：文章第三段指出“ItisfarmoredifficultforAmericanstoacceptsharedsacrificeforthecommongoodandwell-beingoftheentirecountry．”，接著作者給出一個(gè)例子，證明美國人不會(huì)為了國家的利益而放棄個(gè)人的利益。故應(yīng)選C。

33.B解析：由B中的第一段“…andglobalbiodiversityisbeinglostbyreasonofthousandsofyearsofhabitatconversions．”可知。

34.BB解析：該空缺之前講的是毒藤的過敏反應(yīng)是滯后的，不是馬上產(chǎn)生的。接下來的相關(guān)信息是不同的人敏感度不一樣，過敏反應(yīng)發(fā)生的時(shí)間也會(huì)不一樣。所以本題應(yīng)選B。

35.A解析：由第四段最后兩句話可知，基因并不能決定一切，因此減肥不會(huì)因?yàn)榉逝只虻母蓴_而沒有任何作用，故A項(xiàng)正確。B項(xiàng)和作者的觀點(diǎn)是相反的。D項(xiàng)文中未提到。

36.A解析：由A中的disadvantage中最后一條內(nèi)容“Waterqualityandquantitydownstreamcanbeaffected,whichCanhaveanimpactonplantlife.”可知答案為A。

37.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。

38.B解析：由B中的第四句話“ThenorthernpartoftheTempleiscircularwhilethesouthernpartissquare，”可知.

39.D解析：第二段第一句提到“…butoldwastefulhabitsdiehard”，可知雖然美國人開始回收利用一些物品，但是那種浪費(fèi)的舊習(xí)慣依然不好消除b最后一句話“…itcanbecomestrongeronlyasAmericansseetheneedforitmoreclearly．”也說明了只有當(dāng)美國人真正意識(shí)到環(huán)保的重要性，他們才能更好的具有環(huán)保意識(shí)，言外之意就是說他們依然沒有完全意識(shí)到環(huán)保的重要性。故應(yīng)選D。

40.C解析：由C中的第二段“ThispartrepresentsthetensionsbetweenAmericaandFrance．”可知。

41.D由上一段中的“Edwina…andcalledhimontheinter-com．”可知D中的“…closertotheintercom…”與之呼應(yīng)。

42.A文章第三段第一句話“Yettherearcgoodreasonstoexpecttheeconomicconsequencesnowtobelessseverethaninthe1970s．”表明這次的油價(jià)上漲不會(huì)像以前那樣帶來嚴(yán)重的后果。從文章最后一段“0nemorereasonnottolosesleepovertheriseinoilpricesisthat，…”來看，我們不會(huì)為石油價(jià)格的上漲而失眠，也說明了這次的上漲影響不會(huì)很大。故應(yīng)選A。

43.DA、B、C項(xiàng)文中均沒有提到。根據(jù)第三段的論述，可知D項(xiàng)是惟一正確的。

44.D由D中的第二段第一句話“…thatelementsofitCanbefoundinvirtuallyevery‘organizedcrimefilm’nowadays．．．．”可知。

45.D文章的第一段最后一句話“Evenwhenanti—academicarthistorians．．．，Botticelli’sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste，．．．”，就算當(dāng)時(shí)很多正統(tǒng)的藝術(shù)風(fēng)格被批判，波提切利的作品也沒有引起重視，認(rèn)為他的作品不隨人們的口味，既滿足不了專業(yè)人士的品位，也不能滿足業(yè)余人士的欣賞要求。這里的undervalue的意思是“低估，沒有重視”，故應(yīng)選D。甘肅省白銀市公共英語五級(jí)(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級(jí):________姓名:________考號(hào):________
