10.C

11.A

12.A

13.Tospeakslowly．

14.B

15.Juniorcolleges/non-degreeprograms．

16.proportionproportion解析：此處意為很大比例的學(xué)生仍然喜歡簡單的工作，所以此處應(yīng)填“proportion”。

17.complycomply解析：此處句意為“他們會很懊惱的服從”，表示服從，遵從的短語是complywith。所以此處應(yīng)填“comply”。

18.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。

19.stillstill解析：本句意為“但是空氣污染，盡管它…是最危險的，但也只是幾種攻擊最基本生活功能的污染方式之一?！憋@然，可知此空應(yīng)填“仍然”。

20.closeclose解析：顯然，不好的習(xí)慣是“太靠近桌子”，故應(yīng)填“近”。

21.bringbring解析：通過前一句話“suchadreamerCanbebroughtbacktoearth．”中的brought可以知道，這里應(yīng)該填bring，表示“把…帶到”。故答案為bring。

22.withoutwithout解析：此處意為年輕人更喜歡沒有重大責(zé)任的簡單工作。所以此處應(yīng)填“without”。

23.paperpaper解析：由前一句“…arenowpaperthrowaways．”可知，“不久以后我們將穿由紙制作的衣服?！?/p>

24.bringbring解析：根據(jù)上下文，此處意思為給他們帶來快樂。帶來用動詞“bring”。所以此處應(yīng)填“bring”。

25.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”。

26.B解析：由B中“BarnessitsjustacrosstheriverfromHammersmithinsouthwestLondon，butitcouldnotbemoredifferentfromthenoiseandbustleoftheoppositebank．”可以看出Barnes與其對岸喧囂吵鬧的城市完全不同。所以此處答案為B。

27.D解析：文章的結(jié)尾，作者說我們不知道學(xué)校學(xué)生的能力和大腦兩半球功能之間的確切關(guān)系；我們不懂大腦兩半球是如何通過corpuscallosum相互作用的；間接地提出對于corpuscallosum的影響，多作研究工作。所以本題應(yīng)選D。

28.C解析：由C中的howitworks中的第二條“Thismeansyoudon'tneedtousesomuchgasorelectricitytoheatyourwaterathome．”可知答案為C。

29.C解析：由C中“It’spopularbecauseitisstillaffordable．a(chǎn)lthoughpriceshaverocketedoverthelastyear．”可以看出WillesdenGreen去年飛速增長，但是房價還能接受。所以此處答案為C。

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

31.B解析：由第五段可知雖然美國人聲稱自己攝入的卡路里量下降，但這并不是真的，故A項是錯誤的。美國人總是在食物攝入量上撒謊，所以并不能推出他們知道自己吃了多少，故C項不正確。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句話可以知道D項不正確。

32.B解析：由B中的第一段“Globalenvironmentalproblemsariseoutoftheaccumulatedimpactsfrommanyyears’andmanycountries’economicdevelopment．”可知。

33.B解析：由B中的第二段最后幾句話“Millerisorderedtotakehissquadbehindenemylinesonadangerousmissiontofindandretrieveoneman：PrivateJamesRyan．”可知。

34.C解析：由短文倒數(shù)第二段可知美國只有四個州沒有importtaxes。美國一共50個州，所以應(yīng)該有46個有importtaxes。

35.A解析：由A中的第一句話“‘Bewitched’isapainfullyembarrassingremakeoftheclassicTVsitcomthatranonABCfrom1964-1972．”可知。

36.B解析：此題是有關(guān)作者態(tài)度的問題。由第5、6段可以看出女客服的回答兩人很不滿，很沮喪。所以本題應(yīng)選B。

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

38.D解析：由短文第二段中的“…showedthatthosewithnormalbloodpressureunderwentnochangeatallwhenplacedonanextremelylow—saltdiet，…”可知。

39.C解析：由第一段可知NAAFA認(rèn)為肥胖無害，故A項是錯誤的。B項文章中未提到。第一段倒數(shù)第二句話說到基因決定人的胖瘦，故C項是正確的。NAAFA只是認(rèn)肥胖對人體無害，并沒有說有好處，故D項是錯誤的。

40.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人MichaelMichalsky，故此空應(yīng)為C，因為C中講述的仍是Louis-Dreyfus的事。

41.B由B中的第二段最后幾句話“Millerisorderedtotakehissquadbehindenemylinesonadangerousmissiontofindandretrieveoneman：PrivateJamesRyan．”可知。

42.B由B中的“However，foldingtherearseattoincreaselug-gagespacewaseasy．”可知。

43.C由全文的語氣來看，均是在解釋、闡述事情，而不是descriptive或narrative，更不是critic。

44.F由上文的“FirstIhadto…”可知，這里顯然應(yīng)為“ThenI…”。

45.C由C中的第一段“Lookatthetitleofthemovie，TeamAmerica：WorldPolice．ThisdefinitelysoundslikeAmerica，thebigbrothertotheworld，whetherpeoplewantUStobeornot．”可知。2021-2022年陜西省渭南市公共英語五級(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________
