16.rationalrational解析：從文章的后面可以知道，顧客們已經要結算了，認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向他們推銷，而不是理性購物。故答案為rational。

17.notnot解析：此空前半句意為“我們真地生活在污染中，呼吸著它”，而后半句意為“它開始…我們的健康、幸福和文明。”顯然，這是因果關系，故中間的surprisingly前只能加個否定詞not。

18.whowho解析：此空后的句子顯然為定語從句，修飾“Behaviorists”，所以應填一個who，引導修飾人的定語從句。

19.ofof解析：deprivesb．ofsth．為固定短語，意為“剝奪某人的某東西(或某權利)”。

20.someonesomeone解析：由本文的第一句話“‘Down-to-earth’meanssomeoneorsomethingthatishonest．realisticandeasytodealwith．”可知“Down-to-earth”指的是誠實，現實、平易近人的那些人。這里的someone和后面是相對應的。故答案為someone。

21.whatwhat解析：此題考查what引導的賓語從句。要注意分析句子中的成分，此空為listento后的賓語。所以此處應填引導詞“what”。

22.atat解析：某大學的教授，應為“aprofessorat…university”，所以答案為介詞“at”。

23.referencereference解析：這三個分詞短語意為“執行日常運算、挖掘…材料、操作再生產設備”。顯然，“參考材料”最合適。

24.fromfrom解析：keepsth．fromdoingsth：意為“防止某事…”，為固定短語。

25.gradesgrades解析：此句意為“…他指出在主要大學里關控制評分標準及恢復不及格…的努力。”顯然，此空處應填“分數”。

26.D解析：由D中的“ValparaisoUniversitycombinesliberalartswithprofessionalstudiesandpromotesservicetoothers”可知。

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

28.D解析：第四段提到基因療法遭受的一起挫折——一個病人因接受基因療法而死亡；接著講專家擔心運動員利用基因在比賽中作弊會進一步tarnish這一領域，從上下文邏輯推理，應該是“有損，玷污”這一類的意思，因此正確答案為D。

29.D解析：由短文第六段可知答案為D。

30.A解析：由全文看，作者支持的一種觀點是“為所有人創造工作機會是不可能的”。

31.D解析：在第三段中女主人公意識到也許在四點的服務的原因是經過精心策劃的而不是隨意粗魯的習慣，假期小費從隨意的一句謝謝發展成為黑社會的保護勒索，所以作者是被迫的給假期小費的。因此正確答案為D。

32.A解析：由A中的“…theCollegehaspioneeredtheuseofvideoconferencingtechnologyasawayofimprovingitscurriculum．”可知。

33.B解析：文中提到的方案有助于存錢，但這樣的方案并不適于每一個人，然后給出了其中的一個原因，來說明對于低收入和中等收入的家庭來講，選擇其他投資方式會比這種方式好。由此可猜出詞義。所以本題應選B。

34.D解析：由文章第四段可知本題答案為D。

35.CC解析：由此處上段的“therewasanothertransition…theywerereplacedbythemillandtheassemblyline.”可知，工業革命以后，人們不需要象以前那樣賣力氣的工作了。而后面選項中的“westandatthebrinkofachange…”說明了此事，故應選C。

36.C解析：由第二段中的“Second，theyhavetoadoptacomputersystemcalled…”可知。

37.CC解析：上一段中提到的“myth”是有關家庭關系的問題，擔心家庭關系會因為老齡化問題而使親人之間疏遠。C中研究中心的倫理學家對這一問題進行了佐證。年長者對家庭需要貢獻的角色越來越重要，所以這些擔心都是沒必要的，可以找到解決措施的。

38.A解析：由第四段最后兩句話可知，基因并不能決定一切，因此減肥不會因為肥胖基因的干擾而沒有任何作用，故A項正確。B項和作者的觀點是相反的。D項文中未提到。

39.D解析：由第一段中的“Forsomeyears，startinginNewYork…”可知。

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

41.B第三段中Dr．Laragh提到“…所以建議所有人應該少吃鹽沒有意義。”可以推知，他的言下之意是“醫生不應建議人們不吃鹽”。

42.C由短文倒數第二段可知美國只有四個州沒有importtaxes。美國一共50個州，所以應該有46個有importtaxes。

43.B由B中的第一段“NewYorkCity，locatedinNewYorkState，isthelargestcityandthechiefportoftheUnitedStates．”可知答案為B。

44.CC第一段最后一句為“…theyevokethemoodofgothichorrorthat…”。

45.B由此空下面一段段意及B中的“．．．Itseemed，Edwinathought…”可知B與下一段前后呼應。2021年遼寧省鞍山市公共英語五級(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________
