16.offoff解析：turnoff是“關(guān)掉”的意思，此題考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)的用法，根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)境，這里意思是“關(guān)掉你的手機(jī)”。所以用副詞“off”。

17.thoughthough解析：參見(jiàn)47題解析，由本句句意“…更便宜，…它的95％的部件仍可以使用?！笨芍丝仗帒?yīng)填“盡管，即使”，即eventhough。

18.WhenWhen解析：這里的一句話其實(shí)與下一半“whenwearedown-to-earth…．”所起到的作用是一樣的，同時(shí)兩者也是并列的，when表達(dá)了“當(dāng)…”，所以這里填when。故答案為when。

19.thethe解析：此處缺冠詞，在年輕人之間，用the表示特指。所以此處應(yīng)填“the”。

20.therebythereby解析：本句句意為“我們也正在污染海洋，殺死了魚類，…剝奪了我們那無(wú)價(jià)的食物供應(yīng)。”顯然，此空前后為因果關(guān)系，而且depriving前不能用so或其他表因果關(guān)系的連詞，而只能用介詞thereby。

21.themthem解析：本題考查代詞的用法，根據(jù)上下文，此處句意為“人們使用這些小玩意兒。”上文已經(jīng)提到gadgets，所以這里用代詞“them”代替。

22.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(guò)干許多一樣復(fù)雜的工作而獲得多樣性?！?/p>

23.atat解析：某大學(xué)的教授，應(yīng)為“aprofessorat…university”，所以答案為介詞“at”。

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

25.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”。

26.B解析：由短文第一段中的“Andaccordingtolegend，therewasaTurkishrulerwho…Topayfortheweal"andtearonhisteeth．”。

27.AA解析：第二個(gè)“myth”是擔(dān)心人口老齡化會(huì)使工作人員越來(lái)越少。研究中心人員提出應(yīng)該給年長(zhǎng)的人提供各種培訓(xùn)機(jī)會(huì)。A中“Ourstudiesshowthattherearebenefitsfromhavinganage—integratedworkforce．”說(shuō)“研究表明不同年齡段的勞動(dòng)力的融合也會(huì)有許多好處”。

28.A解析：“Itwaslikeofferingtodropasafeonmyheadtocuremyheadache．”意為“就像給我提供一個(gè)保險(xiǎn)箱放我頭上來(lái)治愈我的頭痛一樣?！焙钪S刺地說(shuō)技術(shù)員提供的建議不可采取。所以本題應(yīng)選A。

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

30.A解析：由文章第四段中的“Anotherfamousexampleistheelectriceel．Thisfishgivesanevenmorepowerfulshock．”可知。

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

32.B解析：文章第二段一開(kāi)頭就說(shuō)：“It'snotentirelyclearwhymedicinehasbeensoslowtobuildonAnderson'searlysuccess．”從時(shí)間上來(lái)看，Anderson采用基因療法的成功嘗試已經(jīng)是1990年的事情了，兩相對(duì)照，可見(jiàn)他的成功沒(méi)有讓醫(yī)學(xué)加速發(fā)展。因此正確答案為B。

33.B解析：文章第三段最后兩句話“Moreover，itbecomesunworkable．．．theInternetdoesnotknowgeographicboundaries，andcompaniesandindividualscannotbeexpectedtocomplywithdiffering，andattimesconflicting，privacyrules．”這說(shuō)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)。故應(yīng)選B。

34.C解析：由C中“‘WillesdenGreenhasadiverserangeofpropertiesfrom1930ssemi-detachedhousestolargeVictorianpropertiesandnew—buildswhichattractallkindsofbuyers’，saysRichardChiti，salesmanageratestateagentsEllisandCo．”可以看出WillesdenGreen是一個(gè)文化多樣性的城市。所以此處答案為C。

35.A解析：由A中第二段第一句“Intheseniorschool，two-thirdsofthepupilsareboarders，andboardingisavailablefromtheageof11．”可知。

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

37.AA解析：由此空上下文可以看出，A填入使上下兩段意思銜接。

38.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。

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

40.A解析：第二段第二句“Mainlybecauseprivatecompanieshavehadlittleincentivetopursueit．”意思是說(shuō)“私企生產(chǎn)流感疫苗的積極性不高”。接下來(lái)作者介紹了制作疫苗的復(fù)雜工序，由此可以推斷出流感疫苗生產(chǎn)工藝復(fù)雜、成本高。第二段又明確指出了私企不愿意生產(chǎn)流感疫苗的其他原因：利潤(rùn)率低、需求不穩(wěn)定、此外由于流感病毒每年都不同，因此生產(chǎn)數(shù)量不能過(guò)大，由此也可推斷出生產(chǎn)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)性大，如果生產(chǎn)多了就會(huì)損失很大。因此正確答案為A。

41.A由全文看，作者在講述一種觀點(diǎn)：當(dāng)聯(lián)合國(guó)(UN)猶豫不決時(shí)，第三世界已經(jīng)采取了行動(dòng)。

42.C由全文的語(yǔ)氣來(lái)看，均是在解釋、闡述事情，而不是descriptive或narrative，更不是critic。

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

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

45.A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。2022年廣東省汕尾市公共英語(yǔ)五級(jí)(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級(jí):________姓名:________考號(hào):________

16.offoff解析：turnoff是“關(guān)掉”的意思，此題考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)的用法，根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)境，這里意思是“關(guān)掉你的手機(jī)”。所以用副詞“off”。

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

18.WhenWhen解析：這里的一句話其實(shí)與下一半“whenwearedown-to-earth…．”所起到的作用是一樣的，同時(shí)兩者也是并列的，when表達(dá)了“當(dāng)…”，所以這里填when。故答案為when。
