16.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”。

17.therebythereby解析：本句句意為“我們也正在污染海洋，殺死了魚類，…剝奪了我們那無價(jià)的食物供應(yīng)?！憋@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。

18.accordingaccording解析：accordingto意為“根據(jù)”，為固定短語，本句句意為“根據(jù)對…的嚴(yán)格調(diào)查，…?！?/p>

19.byby解析：由日本政府收集的數(shù)據(jù)?？疾楸粍诱Z態(tài)的用法，“由…”用介詞“by”。所以此處應(yīng)填“by”。

20.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。

21.thatthat解析：此空后的內(nèi)容為maintain的內(nèi)容，即此空后的句子為maintain的賓語，應(yīng)填一個(gè)可引導(dǎo)賓語從句的詞。

22.surveysurvey解析：根據(jù)后面的數(shù)據(jù)，空缺處指的是1993年的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查問卷，所以此處應(yīng)填“survey”。

23.concernconcern解析：“concernfor”表示“對…關(guān)心”。所以此處應(yīng)填“concern”。

24.likelylikely解析：前面所說的thepersonwhoisdown-to-earth與thepersonwhosebothfeetontheground大體是一類人，所以這里表達(dá)的意思是“很有可能就是一類人”。belikelytodo就表達(dá)了這種意思。故答案為likely。

25.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”。

26.D解析：由整篇短文的主旨“低鹽并不適于所有人”可知，此處“eventheveryvocal‘lowsalt’exponent”意為“即使是強(qiáng)力推薦的‘低鹽’”。

27.B解析：書評二中提到許多經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家，甚至布什政府的官員都贊成Stiglitz的論點(diǎn)，認(rèn)為“economicchangeinthedevelopingworldmustevolvemorewithlocalconditions”。所以本題應(yīng)選B。

28.C解析：由第一段可知NAAFA認(rèn)為肥胖無害，故A項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的。B項(xiàng)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(xiàng)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(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的。

29.C解析：文章第三段指出“ItisfarmoredifficultforAmericanstoacceptsharedsacrificeforthecommongoodandwell—beingoftheentirecountry．”，接著作者給出一個(gè)例子，證明美國人不會為了國家的利益而放棄個(gè)人的利益。故應(yīng)選C。

30.C解析：由C中的第一段最后一句話“Thissourcebook…andprovidespolicyadvice，includingtheuseofcleantechnologiesandenvironmentallysoundproductiontechniques，…”可知。

31.AA解析：只有A放在此處才能與上一段意思連貫。

32.D解析：文章開始就指出“…sparkingdebateoverstrikingthecorrectbalancebetweenprotectingcivillibertiesandattemptingtopreventanothertragicterroristact．”這說明作者認(rèn)為一方面要防止類似的恐怖襲擊活動，但另一方面也要注意保護(hù)公民的隱私權(quán)利，而且這雙方面應(yīng)該取得平衡。故應(yīng)選D。

33.D解析：由整篇短文的主旨“低鹽并不適于所有人”可知，此處“eventheveryvocal‘lowsalt’exponent”意為“即使是強(qiáng)力推薦的‘低鹽’”。

34.A解析：由A中的第二段第二句話“Oneithersideofthepalacearemanycomparativelysmallbuildings.”可知。

35.A解析：由A中的第二段第二句話“Oneithersideofthepalacearemanycomparativelysmallbuildings．”可知。

36.C解析：瓦薩利在文中第一段說到“VasariexpressedalluneasewithBotticelli’swork，…”說明他的態(tài)度是反對的，后來在最后一段中間部分“However，HomearguedthatBotticelli…emphasizedcleardepletionofastory，auniqueachievement…”表明霍姆的態(tài)度是肯定的。故應(yīng)選C。

37.AA解析：由上段的最后一句話“tookoverthehardphysicaltasksandrelievedthestrainonhumanandanimalmuscles．”可知答案為A，后面選項(xiàng)中的“thelaborthatrequiredthehumaneyes，ears，judgmentandmindbutnosweating”與之呼應(yīng)，故應(yīng)選A。

38.D解析：由D中的最后一段“Considerations…,onhowviolencecandestroyahumansoul，…”可知。

39.A解析：書評一中“Stiglitzargues，what’sneededtomakeglobalizationworkbetterismoreandsmartergovernmentintervention．”這句話我們可以看出。所以本題應(yīng)選A。

40.A解析：anomaly意為“反常，奇怪”。

41.A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?yàn)榉逝只虻母蓴_而沒有任何作用，故A項(xiàng)正確。B項(xiàng)和作者的觀點(diǎn)是相反的。D項(xiàng)文中未提到。

42.C文章的第一段說“Welookatthemlongenought0，makeitquiteclearthatweseethem，andthenweimmediatelylookaway．”意思就是我們看人時(shí)不能一直不斷的盯著看，并解釋了如何去做。選項(xiàng)中的inthisway符合了前面的意思。故應(yīng)選C。

43.D由短文第二段中的“UndertheWTO，membersarerequiredtoreducetheirtariffandnon．tariffsonmanufacturinggoods．”可知。

44.DA、B、C項(xiàng)文中均沒有提到。根據(jù)第三段的論述，可知D項(xiàng)是惟一正確的。

45.B由B中的第二段最后幾句話“Millerisorderedtotakehissquadbehindenemylinesonadangerousmissiontofindandretrieveoneman：PrivateJamesRyan．”可知。廣東省惠州市公共英語五級(筆試)模擬考試(含答案)學(xué)校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________
