16.afterafter解析：此句意為“…他注意到了那些拼寫有問題的學(xué)生也有一個(gè)壞的握筆習(xí)慣，他受到鼓舞調(diào)查這個(gè)領(lǐng)域?！?/p>

17.suchsuch解析：“such…as”用來舉例子。所以此處應(yīng)填“such”。

18.muchmuch解析：參見43題解析。顯然，此空處應(yīng)為“太多的”。

19.useuse解析：后面的一句話“Theexpressionis‘both-feet-on-the-ground.”表示down-to-earth的另一種表達(dá)方法是both-feet-on-the-ground。而后一種說法是美國人的用法，常常被美國人使用。故答案為use。

20.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>

21.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>

22.thoughthough解析：參見47題解析，由本句句意“…更便宜，…它的95％的部件仍可以使用。”可知，此空處應(yīng)填“盡管，即使”，即eventhough。

23.dumpingdumping解析：由本句句意“通過將污水和化學(xué)物質(zhì)…入河流和湖泊，…”可知，此空處顯然應(yīng)為“倒”。又因?yàn)榻樵~后只能用dumping，而不能用dump。

24.whatwhat解析：此題考查what引導(dǎo)的賓語從句。要注意分析句子中的成分，此空為listento后的賓語。所以此處應(yīng)填引導(dǎo)詞“what”。

25.lookinglooking解析：與介詞for的固定搭配，意為“尋求…”，這里指的是尋求新的價(jià)值觀。所以此處應(yīng)填“l(fā)ooking”。

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

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：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。

29.C解析：由文中可知全球技術(shù)支持中心跟當(dāng)?shù)匦蘩淼甑膮^(qū)別在于，當(dāng)?shù)匦蘩淼晷矢?，地點(diǎn)近，態(tài)度好。題目問的是除了哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)以外，其他都是二者的不同。所以本題應(yīng)選C。

30.B解析：文章第三段最后兩句話“Moreover，itbecomesunworkable…theInternetdoesnotknowgeographicboundaries，andcompaniesandindividualscannotbeexpectedtocomplywithdiffering，andattimesconflicting，privacyrules．”這說明各州制定的法律是不好實(shí)施的，因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)絡(luò)是不具有地域限制的。這種法律不能僅僅限制在某個(gè)州的范圍之內(nèi)

31.EE解析：由上下兩段可知，只有E放在此處可使上下文銜接。

32.D解析：由D中的advantage中的第四句話“Windfarmscanbetouristattractions．”可知答案為D。

33.BB解析：由下一段第—句“Thepoker-lovingLouis-Dreyfusknew…”可知此空處填B最合適，因?yàn)椤癓ouis-Dreyfus，scionof…”必定在下一段之前邏輯上才講得通。

34.B解析：由B中的disadvantage中“Althoughnotmuchwasteisproduced,itisvery，verydangerous.Itmustbesealedupandburiedformanyyearstoallowtheradioactivitytodieaway.”可知答案為B。

35.CC解析：由上下兩段看，只有C放在此處可以使上下文銜接，意思連貫。

36.A解析：劃線單詞所在句子句意為“事情的另一面是：保險(xiǎn)公司已經(jīng)開發(fā)了一些很有創(chuàng)造性的，能與其他替代產(chǎn)品，諸如投資競爭的產(chǎn)品。它們能夠滿足任何一種全面投資計(jì)劃的需求?！笨梢姟八鼈儭奔粗浮癱reativeandcompetitiveinsuranceproducts”。

37.C解析：從第一段最后一句話“Botticelli'sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste,pleasingneitheramateurobserversnorconnoisseurs.”可知，作者講述了那些評論家，不管是業(yè)余的還是職業(yè)的，他們都不滿意它的作品風(fēng)格。所以這個(gè)詞的意思可能是“對作品做出評論的那些業(yè)余人士”。故應(yīng)選C。

38.C解析：由第三段最后一句“Lifeinsuranceisan…isnotsubjecttotaxes，incontrasttootherpersonalinvestments．”可知。

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

40.B解析：根據(jù)第三段和第四段的論述，我們可以得知作者的總體看法，即特別的勞工防護(hù)法并沒有保護(hù)婦女的權(quán)益，故B項(xiàng)正確。A項(xiàng)與作者的觀點(diǎn)明顯相悖，所以不正確。C項(xiàng)從文中不能推知，故不正確。文中沒有提到男性工人的保護(hù)問題，故D項(xiàng)也不正確。

41.D由文章第四段可知本題答案為D。

42.BA

《家有仙妻》這部電影改編于1964—1972年在ABC公司陸續(xù)播出的一部情景喜劇。講的是一個(gè)野心勃勃的女巫師與一個(gè)凡人的婚姻愛情故事。劇中主角Isabel由NicoleKidman扮演。而Isabel是一名真正的巫師。Isabel厭倦了巫術(shù)給自己帶來的一切，決定回到SanFemand0山谷中的家，靠自己的雙手生活，但是后來卻被Wyat發(fā)現(xiàn)，讓她出演片中的女巫師角色。這樣，一個(gè)真正的巫師卻飾演一個(gè)虛構(gòu)的巫師。

B

二戰(zhàn)對于美國乃至世界來說都是一件關(guān)鍵性的事件，它具有很強(qiáng)的影響力，而影片《拯救大兵瑞恩》中的故事就發(fā)生在二戰(zhàn)期間。米勒將軍(漢克斯主演)要去營救四兄弟中最小的一個(gè)，也是惟一的幸存者——瑞恩(戴蒙主演)，他認(rèn)為要通過敵軍的封鎖線是戰(zhàn)爭中最大的挑戰(zhàn)，但是最艱難的任務(wù)是尋找并安全帶回瑞恩。這個(gè)感人的故事為硝煙彌漫、戰(zhàn)事紛雜的l944年涂上一抹莊重的色彩。

C

《美國之隊(duì)：世界警察》這部電影諷刺了各種的政治觀點(diǎn)、主要的電影制作者，甚至別的國家?？催@個(gè)題目就感覺美國是世界老大，不管別人承認(rèn)與否。電影場景從法國巴黎開始，通過說明巴黎離美國多遠(yuǎn)。顯示了美國的民族優(yōu)越感。同時(shí)劇情反恐的故事反映了美法之間的緊張局勢。隨著劇情的展開，美國這種自豪感越發(fā)的上升。最后說明天下沒有免費(fèi)的午餐的道理。

D

作者認(rèn)為《教父》這部電影盡管看了許多次，但是都沒有找出瑕疵。從電影的各個(gè)角度來說，它被認(rèn)作是當(dāng)今最好的5部電影之一?！督谈浮返挠绊懼螅灾劣诤髞淼摹皥F(tuán)伙犯罪”電影都摻雜了這部影片的電影元素在里面。但是這并不是說這部電影只是一部關(guān)于暴力的電影，其他方面，如社會環(huán)境、道德價(jià)值、靈魂，權(quán)勢等對人的影響都有所體現(xiàn)。

答案解析:

由B中的第一段最后一句話“Ithasbeencalled‘thelastgreatwar．”’可知。

43.B由B中的后面部分“Themostimportantconstructions．．．HeavenKitchen．．．．0thersofhistoricinterestandscenicbeauty．”可知。

44.B由B中的內(nèi)容“Producessmallamountsofwaste．”可知答案為B。

45.BB中提到“TheaccoladeofwinningtheSchoolsCurriculumAwardinl997gaveEdgehillnationalrecognitionand．recently．．．”。2021年貴州省六盤水市公共英語五級(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________
