14.C

15.NorthernEurope/NorthAmerica

16.toto解析：besubjectedto為固定搭配，“使遭受，使服從”的意思，要學(xué)會(huì)跨過其他成分尋找主干。所以此處應(yīng)填介詞“to”。

17.whatwhat解析：顯然，此空后的句子應(yīng)為“obscure”的賓語從句，而“isbeingwritten”中缺主語，可做主句的賓語、從句的主語的只有what。

18.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。

19.itit解析：本句意為“‘污染’意思是弄臟——表層土或什么東西，通過引進(jìn)雜質(zhì)，這使…不健康或不干凈。”顯然，此空處應(yīng)指topsoilorsomething，因?yàn)榍懊嬉殉霈F(xiàn)，所以用it來代替。

20.differencedifference解析：顯然，這句話是在對(duì)老年人和年輕人寫字之間進(jìn)行比較，而且由后半句中的"getbetterat…”可知，此空必為“不同的”。

21.drinkingdrinking解析：由本句句意“通過將污水和化學(xué)物質(zhì)倒入河流和湖泊，我們已經(jīng)污染了我們的…水?！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)為“飲用”。

22.callscalls解析：此句意為“他把這種缺乏禮節(jié)的行為稱作是一種無意識(shí)的無禮”。call+雙賓語結(jié)構(gòu)，以為“把…稱為”，所以此處填“calls”。

23.onon解析：此題也考查介詞的用法，在電話中交談，一般用onthephone。所以此處應(yīng)填介詞“on”。

24.beingbeing解析：avoiddoingsth．意為“避免…”，avoid后必須跟名詞或動(dòng)名詞。beovercritical意為“過分挑剔的”。

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

26.AA解析：由上下兩段可知，只有A放在此處可以使上下文銜接，意思順暢。

27.EE解析：由上一段中提到的“…whengeneticallymixedwithawildstrainofmushroom…”可知，只有E放在此處才能使上下段銜接，意思連貫。

28.D解析：deforestation意為“濫伐森林”。

29.C解析：由全文可以推斷，要指出犯罪率下降的確切原因是很困難的。

30.D解析：由D中的第二段最后一句話“Morethan90percentoftheUniversity’s、full—timefacultymembersholdaPh．D．orterminaldegreeintheirfield”可知。

31.B解析：由B中的第三段第二句話“NewYorkhasbecomeoneoftheworld'sbusiestportsandalsothefinancial，manufacturing，andtravelcenterofthecountry．”可知答案為B。

32.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(xiàng)是錯(cuò)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(xiàng)不正確。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句話可以知道D項(xiàng)不正確。

33.B解析：本文第一句提到“TodayTVaudiencesallovertheworldareaccustomedtothesightofAmericanastronautsintip-topcondition．withfairhair．crew—cuts．goodteethand．．．”。

34.D解析：由D中的第三段“Inthesecondpart，thediscussionisextendedtoincludethepossibilitiesofpreventingorabatingemissionsinrelationtothreemodels:．．．”可知。

35.A解析：由第三段中所舉的GTE的例子可知“efficienttechnologyiscost-effective”。

36.D解析：第四段提到基因療法遭受的一起挫折——一個(gè)病人因接受基因療法而死亡；接著講專家擔(dān)心運(yùn)動(dòng)員利用基因在比賽中作弊會(huì)進(jìn)一步tarnish這一領(lǐng)域，從上下文邏輯推理，應(yīng)該是“有損，玷污”這一類的意思，因此正確答案為D。

37.B解析：由短文第二段中的“Differentkindsoftaxeshelptospreadthetaxburden…Thatiswhythethreelevelsofgovernmentinthiscountry．．．thisspreadstheburdenoftaxesamongmorepeople．”。

38.B解析：由第一段的“Insteadofbeseechingusalltogetvaccinated，they’renowurgingmosthealthypeoplebetweentheagesof2and64,notto．”可以判斷出美國之呼吁2至64歲的健康人不接種流感疫苗，而不是所有的美國人，因此答案A是錯(cuò)誤的。從第二段最后一句話可以看出疫苗生產(chǎn)廠家無法臨時(shí)增加疫苗生產(chǎn)不是由于他們不愿意，而是由于受精雞蛋的生產(chǎn)已經(jīng)預(yù)先計(jì)劃好，無法提供更多的受精雞蛋，由此可見答案C是錯(cuò)誤的。從第三段第三行“Fluvaccinesareharderthanmosttoproducethisway”可以判斷出答案D是錯(cuò)誤的，因?yàn)榱鞲幸呙绫葎e的疫苗更難用細(xì)菌培育的方式生產(chǎn)。而由第三段第2-3行“Themainchallengeistoshiftproductionfromeggsintocellcultures——amediumalreadyusedtomakemostothervaccines．”以及上一句可見，改造疫苗生產(chǎn)工藝的關(guān)鍵在于革新病毒培育技術(shù)。因此正確答案為B。

39.FF解析：此空填入F，上下文銜接，意思連貫。

40.D解析：由D中的第二段第一句話“…thatelementsofitcanbefoundinvirtuallyevery‘organizedcrimefilm’nowadays；…”可知。

41.D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。最后一句話“．．．itCanbecomestrongeronlyasAmericansseetheneedforitmoleclearly．”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。

42.A由此空上下文可以看出，A填入使上下兩段意思銜接。

43.B由B中的第一段“…andglobalbiodiversityisbeinglostbyreasonofthousandsofyearsofhabitatconversions．”可知。

44.A由整篇文章可知，本文主要傳達(dá)的信息為“食鹽致病理論沒有道理”。

45.C由C中的第一段“Thecityisnowthelargestindustrialcityinthecountry．”可知答案為C。2022-2023年江西省新余市公共英語五級(jí)(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級(jí):________姓名:________考號(hào):________
