PART V READING COMPREHENSION [25 MIN ]

In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answers on your answer sheet.

TEXT A

It was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn?t know enough to really care. My older brother and I lived with Mom in a dingy multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night. The background noise of our lives was gunfire and horses? hoofs from “Wagon Train” or “Cheyenne”, and laughter from “I Love Lucy”or “Mister Ed”. After supper, we?d sprawl on Mom?s bed and stare for hours at the tube.

But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But she was much brighter and smarter than we boys knew at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses she cleaned-books. So she came home one day, sat us down and explaioned that her sons were going to make something of themselves. “You boys are going to read two boioks every week,” she said. “And you?re going to write me a report on what you read.”

We moaned and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, we didn?t have any books in the house other than Mom?s Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: “I?ll drive you to the library.”

So pretty soon there were these two peevish boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wanderd reluctantly among the children?s books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through

them.

The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers. For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this verbal visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.

It didn?t dawn on me at the time, but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images froming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip of a page.

Soon I began to look forward to visiting this hushed sanctuary from my other world. I moved from animals to plants, and then to rocks. Between the covers of all those books were whole worlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened: I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn?t wait to get home to my books.

Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins Children?s Center in Baltimore. Sometimes I still can?t believe my life?s journey, from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.

But I know when the journey bagan—the day Mom snapped off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.

81. We can learn from the beginning of the passage that.

TEXT B

Predicting the future is always risky. But it?s probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America?s “ Disney era ” . Today, it?s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company

that created Mickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonald?s may be more widely known, but neither concludes 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.

The reasons for Disney?s success are quite a lot, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person —the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other aspects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising —something his company still does brilliantly today.

But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films portrayed the “ little boy ” , and made him feel proud to be American. He achieved this by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements —Disney?s very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silent Mickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh?s flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping one?s fellow man, or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.

Disney?s other great virtue was the fact that his company — unlike other big corporations —had a human face. His Hollywood studio — the public heard — operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on firstname terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons praise America, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers.

The reality, of course, was not so perfect. As the public would later learn, Disney?s patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. He agreed to work for the FBI secretly, identifying and spying on colleagues who he suspected were anti-government.

But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans — in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a leader of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.

By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was “ Uncle Walt ”— the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.

86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPT

A. painting.

B. creativity

C. management.

D. merchandising.

87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney?s patriotism?

A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films.

B. He supported America?s war efforts in his own way.

C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations.

D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.

88. In the sixt h paragraph the sentence “Disney was more or less the genuine article” means that

A. Disney was a creative and capable person.

B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.

C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way.

D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people.

89. The writer?s attitude toward Walt Disney can best be described as

A. sympathetic.

B. objective.

C. critical.

D. skeptical.

TEXT C

Why do you listen to music? If you should put this question to a number of people, you might receive answers like these: “I like the beat of music,”“I look for attractive tunefulness,”“I am moved by the sound of choral singing.”“I listen to music for many reasons but I could not begin to describe them to you clearly.”Answers to this question wuold be many and diverse, yet almost no one would reply, “Music means nothing to me.” To most of us, music means something; it evokes some response.We obtain some satisfaction to music.

For many, the enjoyment of music does not remain at a standstill. We feel that we can get more satisfaction from the musical experience. We want to make closer contact with music in order to learn more of its nature; thus we can range more broadly and freely in the areas of musical style, form, and experssion. This book explores ways of achieving these objectives. It deals, of course, with the techniques of music, but only in order to show technique is directed toward expressive aims in music and toward the listener?s musical experience. In this way, we may get an idea of the composer?s intentions, for indeed, the composer uses every musical device for its power to communicate and for its contribution to the musical experience.

Although everyone hears music differently, there is a common ground from which all musical experiences grow. That source is sound itself. Sound is the raw material of music. It makes up the body and substance of all musical activity. It is the point of departure in the musical experience.

The kinds of sound that can be used for musical purposes are amazingly varied. Throughout the cultures of the world, East and West, a virtually limitless array of sounds has been employed in the service of musical experssion. Listen to Oriental theatre music, then to an excerpt from a Wagner work; these two are worlds apart in their qualities of sound as well as in almost every other feature, yet each says something of importance to some listeners. Each can stir a listener and evoke a response in him. All music, whether it is the pulsation of primitive tribal drums or the complex coordination of voices and instruments in an opera, has this feature: It is based uopon the power of sound to stir our sense and feelings.

Yet sound alone is not music. Something has to happen to the sound. It must move forward in time. Everything that takes place musically involves the movement of sound. If we hear a series of drumbeats, we receive an impression of movement from one stroke to the next. When sounds follow each other in a pattern of melody, we receive an impression of movement from one tone to the next. All music moves, and because it moves, it is associated with a fundamental truth of

existence and experience. We are stirred by impressions of movement because our very lives are constantly in movement. Breathing, the action of the pulse, growth, decay, the change of day and night, as well as the constant flow of physical action—these all testify to the fundamental role that movement plays in our lives. Music appeals to our desire and our need for movement.

90. The author indicates at the beginning of the passage that

A. people listen to music for similar reasons.

B. reasons for listening to music are varied.

C. some people don?t understand music at all.

D. purposes for listening to music can be specified.

TEXT D

Psychologists agree that I.Q. contributes only about 20 percent of the factors that determine success. A full 80 percent comes from other fators, including what I call emotional intelligence. Following are two of the major qualities that make up emotional intelligence, and how they can be developed:

1.Self-awareness. The ability to recognize a feeling as it happens is the keystone of emotional intelligence. People with greater certainty about their emotions are better pilots of their lives.

Developing self-awareness requires tuning in to what neurologist Antonio Damasio calls “gut feelings”.Gut feelings can occur without a person being consiously aware of them. For examplem, when people who fear snakes are shown a picture of a snake, sensors on their skin will detect sweat, a sign of anxiety, even thoiugh the people say they do not feel fear. The sweat shows up even when a picture so rapidly that the subject has no conscious awareness of seeing it.

Through deliberate effort we can become more aware of our gut feelings. Take someone who is annoyed by a rude encounter for hours after it occurred. He may be unaware of his irritability and surprised when someone calls attention to it. But if he evaluates his feelings, he can change them.

Emotional self-awareness is the building block of the next fundamental of emotional intelligence: being able to shake off a bad mood.

2.Mood Management.Bad as well as good moods spice life and build character. The key is blance.

We often have little control over when we are swept by emotion. But we can have some say

in how long that emotion will last. Psychologist Dianne Tice we asked more than 400 men and women about their strategies for escaping foul moods. Her research, along with that of other psychologists, provides valuable information on how to change a bad mood.

Of all the moods that people want to escape, rage seems to be the hardest to deal with. When someone in another car cuts you off on the highway, you reflexive thought may be, That jerk! He could have hit me! I can?t let him get away with that! The more you stew, the angrier you get. Such is the stuff of hypertension and reckless driving.

What should you do to relieve rage? One myth is that ventilating will make you feel better. In fact, researchers have found that?s one of the worst strategies. A more effective technique is “reframing”, which means consciously reinterpreting a situation in a more positive light. In the case of the driver who cuts you off, you might tell yourself: Maybe he had some emergency. This is one of the most potent ways, Tice found, to put anger to rest.

Going off alone to cool down is also an effective way to refuse anger, especially if you can?t think clearly. Tice found that a large proportion of men cool down by going for a drive—a finding that inspired her to drive more defensively. A safer alternative is exercise, such as taking a long walk. Whatever you do, don?t waste the time pursuing your train of angery thoughts. Your aim should be to distract yourself.

The techniques of reframing and distraction can alleviate depression and anxiety as well as anger. Add to them such relaxation techniques as deep brething and meditation and you have an arsenal of weapons against bad moods.

2005年专四答案解析

PART I DICTATION

The Wrist Watch

It is generally believed that wrist watches are an exception to the normal sequence in the evolution of man?s jewelry. Reversing the usual order, they were first worn by women, and then adopted by men. In the old days, queens included wrist watches among their crown jewelry. Later, they were worn by Swiss workers and farmers. Until World War I, Americans associated the watch with fortune hunters. Then army officers discovered that the wrist watch was most practical for active combat. Race car drivers also loved to wear wrist watches, and pilots found them most useful

while flying. Soon men dared to wear wrist watches without feeling self-conscious. By 1924, some 30 percent of man?s w atches were worn on the wrist. Today, the figure is 90 percent. And they are now worn by both men and women for practical purposes rather than for decoration.

PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSION

SECTION A CONVERSATIONS

1.正确答案为D）。当问到学业情况时，约翰逊先生回答说：“My best subject was history,

and my second best was geography. However, my favorite subject was math…”，这里提及history, geography和math,由此可以知他不是很擅长art(面试中应极力把自己擅长的学科告之出来)。材料中的arts subjects应理解成文科.

2.正确答案为A）。由于他要从事计算机方面的工作，因此约翰逊先生认为“从事计算机方

面的工作，逻辑思维能力比数学头脑更重要”（working with computers needs a logical mind rather than great skills in mathematics），因此答案选A。

3.正确答案为B）。女士说“So, you would like to write material for computers, would you?”

约翰逊先生给予了肯定：“That?s what interests me most about computers, writing programs”。可见Mr. Johnson想做writing programs.做计算机程序员.

4.正确答案为A）。女士在对话一开始就介绍了该项调查的目的：“I?m doing some research.

It?s for a new magazine for people like you.”，即“是为了一本你这样读者的杂志”。

5.正确答案为D）。女士问他星期五是否外出，他回答说“I never go out on Fridays. I stay at

home and watch television.”，由此可知答案选D。看见题干就应马上注意听Friday前后出现的信息.

6.正确答案为B）。女士问他星期六做什么时，他的回答是：“On Saturdays, my wife and I

always go sailing together.…and then in the evening we go out.”，由此可知两次都提到周六他们夫妇会出门，答案选B。

7.正确答案为A）。对话的最后女士问道：“What?s your surname?”，男士回答说：

“Robertson”。由此可知男子提供的信息是surname.

8.正确答案为C）。在对话中男士分别提及所需的项目：we need the following information:

the invoice address, …, and then the pickup address, …and contact phone number当然，发件人的姓名是不可或缺的，故答案选C。

9.正确答案为B）。男士要求她不要封邮包时解释说：“You need to leave it open so that the

driver can check the contents when he collects it. After the recent bombing, the airline said that we have to check all parcels.”由此可知,包括必须打开的原因是为了方便安全检查,而且还特别提到了最近的爆炸事件. 所以选B.

10.正确答案为A）。女士的最后一个问题是“How long will the parcel take to get to New

York.”她问的当然是邮件到达纽约所需的时间，故答案选A。题目中的last inquiry和材料中的last question是同义词.

SECTION B PASSAGES

11.正确答案为C）。播音员提醒乘客注意时说：“The train now standing at platform nine is the

10:48 train calling at all stations to Nanjing.”，由此可知，9号站台是去南京的列车。特别注意: 火车站的通知有重复的特点,这在后面的题目中也有所体现. 此处紧接着通过更正的方式重复了第九展台的火车是去往南京而非济南.

12.正确答案为B）。由于11:20去郑州的火车晚点15分钟，故11：35分离站的是开往郑

州的火车。I repeat, there will be a 15-minute delay with the Zhengzhou train on Platform 8.

It will now leave at 11:35, not 11:20.

13.正确答案为D）。播音员向乘客致歉并解释原因时说：“We apologize for customers, but due

to a signal problem, the 11:28 train to Hangzhou from platf orm 15 has been cancelled.”由此可知，前往杭州的车次被取消。

14.正确答案为B）。第二句话说：“It tells the story of men and women who, through the course

of the major events of the last 150 years, have given assistance to victims of war and natural disasters.”，由此可知，该博物馆是为了纪念那些在战争和灾难中曾经帮助过受害者的人.

本题关键词是“have given assistance to victims of…”。

15.正确答案为D）。材料中提到：“He had witnessed the heavy casualties at the Battle of San

Marino in Italy four years earlier, at which 40,000 people were killed, wounded, or missing.

He had seen the lack of medical services and great suffering of many of the wounded, who simply died from lack of care.”这几句话给出了他提出这一建议的原因。

16.正确答案为B）。在提及Red Cross时说，“It has no religious significance.”，但是Red

Crescent标志是来自于伊斯兰教，因此它有宗教意义。材料中先提到The symbol of the organization was originally just the Red Cross.排除C. 后又提到:the second symbol, the Red Crescent was adopted for use by national organizations in the Islamic world排除D. 后面Both are now official symbols排除A.

17.正确答案为D）。讲话中先讲拉拉队的起源，接着讲他们的表现，最后总结说：

“Cheerleading is a sport in itself.”，拉拉队本身就是一项运动，因此也就具有竞争性。18.正确答案为B）。材料中提到“They practice special shouts, dances, and athletic shows.”，

由此可以总结出拉拉队要进行各种包括运动在内的表演，故答案选B。

19.正确答案为A）。材料中中提到“The men throw the women high in the air and catch them.

The team members climb on each other?s shoulders to make a human pyramid.”因此“…they may often suffer serious knee and wrist injuries and bloody noses”。因为这些抛接动作以及金字塔造型都是危险动作,所以他们才容易受伤,故选A. 材料和题目中都出现了suffer和injuries等词汇.所以要注意联系.

20.正确答案为B）。材料中分别提及选项A ，D（The first cheerleader ever was a man. In 1898,

Johnny Campbell jumped in front of the crowd），和C（For the next 32 years, cheerleaders were men only Cheerleading is not just about cheering.），由此可知答案为B。

SECTION C NEWS BROADCASTS

21.正确答案为D）。新闻开头就提到“The bodies of dozens of African immigrants discovered

off the Italian coast last week might have been thrown overboard,…”由此可知，答案选D。

22.正确答案为B）。文中一开始便提到这些人是African immigrants即来自非洲,后面又提

到…all believed to come from Somalia…their boat had left Libya由此可以判断这些非法移民来自非洲.

23.正确答案为B）。由新闻的第一句话“China has set its sight on putting three people into space

for a week,是指在太空呆一周,而不是在一周内,故排除A. 又提到The Shenzhou VI is expected to blast off within the next two years排除C.

24.正确答案为D）。新闻中分别提到了the skies（Gigantic waves of flame that covered entire

neighborhoods and filled the skies over Southern California with ash…提到了空中尽是灰烬），houses和land房屋和土地也被毁（They were reported to have destroyed 800 homes and consumed about 120,000 hectares of land.）因此答案选D。

25.正确答案为A）。新闻最后一句说：“Authorities said they were seeking two men in

connection with the fires, which they believe were started deliberately.”。deliberately意为“故意地”=purposely

26.正确答案为C）。. 由新闻中提及的“France remains the most popular destination, receiving

more than 77 million visitors, followed by Spain,…”可知，法国是最受欢迎的旅游目的国,紧随其后的是西班牙,也就是说西班牙位列第二. 故选C.

visitors per year.”

28.正确答案为D）。由新闻中提及的“According to a Xinhua report, over 16.6 million Chinese

29.正确答案为C）。新闻首句说：“Around 40 former military officers in Argentina have bee n

arrested for possible extradition to Spain on human rights charges.”。也就是说他们会被引渡到西班牙去受审. extradition意为“引渡”，故答案为选项C。

30.正确答案为A）。文中先提到on human rights charges即人权问题,又提到suspected of

torture or murder所以可以知道这些人面临的是违反人权的指控.故选A.

PART III CLOZE

31.正确答案为A）。这句话讲的是一个人的性格，说他／她心中的“理想的家”，所以正

确答案为ideal home。其余三项不合题义：perfect含义为“完满的”，imaginary为“想象中的”，而satisfactory为“满意的”。

32.正确答案为D）。虽然人们心中都有“理想的家”，但由于资金或地域的限制，这个理想

却很难实现。所以这里应该选择limitations（限制）。其他三个选项中，deficiencies意为“不足”，显然不能包括location；weaknesses意为“缺点”，不合题义；而insufficiencies 也是“不足，不够”，且常为不可数名词。

33.正确答案为B）。这句话接着第一段谈到的limitations in cash and location展开，涉及“资

金”方面的短缺。这四个选项中只有shortage和lack有这一含义。而lack常用lack of sth 结构，所以正确答案为shortage。Cut意思是“减少；削减”，而drain作为名词意为“消耗”。

34.正确答案为A）。get over意为“克服（困难等）”，get in意为“抵达；卷入”，get back

意为“回来；恢复”，get along意为“过活；相处；进展”。根据上下文意思，要表达的是毕业生刚毕业时怎样度过暂时的困难（主要是因经济未独立而造成的），A项正合此意。

35.正确答案为A）。四个选项中只有improve（改善，改进）符合上下文。即指“经济情

况好转”。enhance为“加强”，develop是“发展”，而proceed为“前进”。故，正确答案为A）。

36.正确答案为C）。从本句中破折号（起进一步解释的作用）后面的内容（不用自己洗衣

服；不用自己动手做饭；朋友多）就可以看出，这里应该填入advantages一词，而不是选项中的其他的贬义词。

37.正确答案为C）。这里要表达的是衣服通常和家里的衣服一起洗。A、D两项表达的意

思明显与文意不符。而always放在usually之后则为重复。

38.正确答案为A）。call over意为“点名”，call out意为“调动；大声呼叫”，这两项与文意

不符。call upon意为“拜访”，而这里讲的是在自己家中的好处，所以只有call in“叫来，召来”才是正确选项。

39.正确答案为B）。这里一直在谈论在家住的advantages，所以本句应该是住在家里不用付

帐单的意思，而不是“总是”（always）或者“有时”（sometimes）要付账单。选项C）

little不是副词，不可选择。所以，正确答案只有rarely。

40.正确答案为D）。上文讲的是呆在家中的好处；通过On the other hand可以看出这里讲的

是留在家中的受局限之处：大大依赖于家中的情况。A项与文意不符，B项不能用作名词。C项作主语时谓语动词应用复数形式，而这里是单数形式，所以应用much。

41.正确答案为B）。你很爱你的家人，从内心深处来说，但是你是否适应他们的习惯，是

否能忍受他们对你的种种限制呢？从上下文来说，这里只有转折关系最为恰当。故，正确答案为B）。

42.正确答案为A）。B项“敌对的”和C项“不关心的”与文中意思不符。而good-tempered

是指一个人的习性，表达的是一个一般性或者习惯性的情况，用在prepared to be后面不恰当。tolerant意为“忍受的；容忍的”，是正确选项。

43.正确答案为C）。manage/make/strike a compromise意为“妥协；让步”，符合题意。make

an agreemen意为“达成协议”，make a consensus意为“达成共识”，make a deal意为“达成协议”，均与语境不符。

44.正确答案为A）。四个选项中，go about doing sth意思是“着手干某事”，go over为“过

一遍”，go in for为“从事”，而go through为“经受，经历”。本句谈的是在你与家人意见不一致，而又有了足够的资金，准备离开家的情况。所以，正确答案为A）。

45.正确答案为D）。这里谈的是住在家附近的好处。所以，这句话的意思是：对周围的环

境比较熟悉。显然，首先可以排除seldom和less。Probably也不合题义，因为自己“肯定”（certainly）对住了多年的地方很熟悉。所以，正确答案为D）。

46.正确答案为D）。A项不对，改为dependable（可靠的，可信赖的）才恰当。B项与C

项都只是the local paper的情况，不能用来修饰人。因此只有D项（可信赖的）是正确的选项。

47.正确答案为D）。从这一句可以看出，作者开始谈论另外一个情况：不住在家附近。所

以要选择new，而不是familiar。选项B）cold和C）humid跟文章内容无关。所以，正确答案为D）。

48.正确答案为B）。这里有轻微的转折对比意义，最恰当的选项当属B。从与上句逻辑关

系推出，选项B）while在这里可表示转折关系：“但是”。作者的意思是，住在一个new area，也会有报纸等等，“但是”你却要小心从事。

49.正确答案为C）。刚来乍到一个陌生地方，所以要小心从事。所以，正确答案选caution，

而不是enthusiasm（热情），hesitation（犹豫）或者concern（关注）。

50.正确答案为B）。“与第一周租金相当的费用”，这里应用equivalent（相等的，相当的）。

the same后接介词as，A项不正确。equal后接to，也不正确。而similarity是“相似，类似”之意，不合句意。

PART IV GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY

51．正确答案为A）。如果你把情况跟你的律师讲清楚了的话，他给你的建议要比我的建议好多了。本题考查虚拟语气。与现在或将来事实相反的非真实条件句，条件从句的谓语动词用过去式(explained)，主句谓语用should/would+动词原形。因此，正确答案就是A）would be able to。

52．正确答案为A）。虽然他是社会党人士，可他很少同意工人阶级的意见。按照逻辑，一个socialist是应该同情工人阶级的处境的，因此我们就此可以排除选项C）和D）。若用A），本句就为转折状语从句，如果用B）则为让步状语从句。显然，前者更合题义，即“虽然他是社会党人士，可他很少同意工人阶级的意见”。要使用even if，从句中使用虚拟语气更合适。

53．正确答案为B）。他这样的话激怒了会场上的每一个人。这里such…that/as是固定搭配，意思是“如此…以致”，用于给出理由或作解释，其中such为代词。so as to do sth也是固定说法，但表示目的。例如，I came earlier today so as to make everything ready before everyone else comes。

54．正确答案为B）。James已经到了，直到昨天我才知道他要来的。本句考查的是进行时表示将来。因为文中讲的是自己实现不知道James要来这一事实，所以时用过去进行时。具有相同用法的还有go, leave等.

55．正确答案为D）。我一直以来都清楚作为一个公民的责任，将来也会一直如此。这句话的意思是自己“一直”清楚作为一个公民的责任，而且“将来也会一直如此”。所以要用用现在完成时和一般将来时，即I have been and always will be。表示”从说话时刻之前一直…以及永远将…故，D）为正确答案。

56．正确答案为A）。由于燃料供应量有限，而许多人又很浪费，我们必须在家安某种太阳能设备。这里的some不是表示“一些”，而是表示an unknown or unstated one相当于a certain，即“某一，某个，某种”，表示某种不确定的事物。因此，选项B）和D）可以排除。type of 后加名词单数形式,即使是可数名词前面也不加a/an.

57．正确答案为C）。我是1984年去那里的，那是我唯一一次在两天内完成的旅行。从本句的含义看，动词显然应该用过去时，首先排除A）。其次，be able to do表示客观做成某事的可能，符合题意。而can do表示主观愿望，所以可以排除。must have done表示推断，不合题意。

58．正确答案为B）。我知道他没通过最后一次考试，但他绝对不笨。固定用法anything but 的意思是not at all或者for from，即“绝对不,一点也不”。而nothing but的意思是only，即“只不过,正是”。Something but不是固定说法。根据题义，应该选B）。

59．正确答案为B）。你知道Tom的哥哥吗，与Tom比起来，他可是个更好的运动员。本题考查形容词比较级。Of + 名词，相当于其对应的形容词，与be more of + 名词+ than 构成比较级。be more of…than…比…更像是…

60．正确答案为B）。那不是他第一次出卖我们了，我想是时候我们采取强烈行动对付他了。句型It/That is the first/second time …中动词原则上要使用完成词。例如，This is the first time I have been in China。本句中that was表明事情发生在过去，所以用过去完成时had betrayed。It?s (high) time … 句型中要使用一般过去时也是常识。因此，唯有B）符合题义。

61．正确答案为A）。今年举行大选的机率有多大呢？这是一个比较简单的题。只要注意到所填入的成分作介词of的宾语，就可以排除B）、C）和D）。there be的非限定形式做介词宾语时有两种情形,在for后面一般用for there to be, 其他介词一般为介词+there being. 这是专四常考的结构.

62．正确答案为D）。会议推迟了，因为我们拒绝在John不在的情况下开会。动词object to 后接名词或者v-ing表示“反对，抗议”，因此排除A）和C）。B）为被动，所以不合题义。

63. 正确答案为C）。如果你对你的打印机还有什么问题，请与商家联系，寻求建议。Should 位置提前到句首，表示事情不大可能发生，即Should sb do sth用作条件状语,表示与将来相反的可能性,主句应用…could/would do…因此C）符合题义。if可以看出。选项A）if ... had 是虚拟语气，不合题义，而D）的时态不对。

64．正确答案为C）。他向我借钱，我借给他了，但是条件是下一周他要归还我。On condition that和only if含义相同，义为“倘若”，但是only if用于句首，并且主谓要倒装。所以，正确答案为C）。

65．正确答案为C）。孩子们逃课有不同的原因。本题正确答案为C），其中的it指代前面所说的stay away from school。

66. 正确答案为B）。你干嘛盯着它？—“我以前从来没看到过那种树。“那种树”:that kind of. 67．正确答案为D）。虽然还有不少问题，但明年的这个时候我们就熬到头了。固定用语light at the end of the tunnel的意思是signs of the end of something which has been difficult or unpleasant（就要看到转机的曙光）。

68．正确答案为B）。我们知道他有压力，所以不在乎他脾气不好。从题义来看，他有压力所以脾气不好。因此首先就可以排除选项A）excitement。be under stress的含义是“在压力之下”，符合题义。另外两个选项crisis和nervousness均不跟介词under搭配。

69．正确答案为B）。导演用手势示意演员们到下一个拍摄地。move on 的意思是to continue a journal（继续前行）；move off意思是to leave a place（离开，出发），而move along则为to move further towards the front or back of sth（向前/后移动）。根据该句的含义，导演示意演员们离开去下一个拍摄点，所以只有B）move off符合题义。

70．正确答案为C）。他的想法被他的同事一致指责为不切实际。从该句中的动词condemned 就可以看出这里应该使用一个贬义词，而四个选项中只有impractical（不切实际的）符合这一点。另外，imaginative意思是“想象力丰富”，ingenious含义为“灵巧的，巧妙的”,而theoretical 的意思是“理论（上）的”。

71．正确答案为D）。成千上万的人走上街头，抗议当地政府穿过田地建铁路。四个选项中的contradict，counter和protest都有“反对”的意思，但是唯有protest后面可以跟against。Contradict含义为“反驳，抗辩”，为及物动词；counter义为“反击，反对”，也是及物动词。72．正确答案为A）。大部分护士是女性，但在医学界的高层，女性仍是少数。be in a (the) minority是固定说法，意思是“占少数”; rarity含义为“稀有，罕见（的事）”，但不可以和介词in如此搭配；scarcity跟shortage为同义词，含义为“不足，缺乏”，也不用于这一结构。Minimum为“最小值”。

73．正确答案为B）。Johnson教授从明年一月份退休。take effect含义为“起作用，开始奏效”，符合题义；put/bring sth into effect意思是“落实计划”，但若要在本句中使用，显然要使用被动语态。Carry into effect和have effect均为不正确搭配。

74．正确答案为A）。总统解释说税收的目的是为政府开支提供资金。其中finance为“向…提供资金”之义，expand为“扩展”，enlarge为“扩大”，而budget为“预算”。所以，根据意义，就可以看出正确答案为A）。

75．正确答案为C）。夏季，这个山区也一样酷暑难耐。这几个词虽然在含义上有类似之处，但其搭配却不一样。Intense意思是“强烈的、剧烈的”，经常跟heat和pain等连用，可分别翻译为“酷热/暑”和“剧痛”。Intensive为“密集的、集中的”，常跟course和fighting搭配，即“强化课程”和“激烈的战斗”。Concentrated则常常跟表示液体的名词连用，意思是“浓缩的”，如concentrated orange juice（浓缩橙汁）。Extensive是intensive的反义词，意思是“广泛的，涉及面广的”，例如extensive English course（泛读英语课程）。因此，正确答案为C）。

76．正确答案为A）。此处严禁拍照，因为拍照可能会破坏这些珍贵的溶洞绘画。根据词义就可判断这个题的答案：forbidden义为“禁止”，rejected为“拒绝”，excluded为“排除在外”，而denied义为“否定”。可见，正确答案为A）。

77．正确答案为C）。Brown先生的情况非常严重，他能否挺过来仍是个问题。四个选项中，pull through的意思是to live in spite of illness or wounds（从疾病中活下来）；pull back意思是retreat, withdraw（撤回）；pull up是“使…停下”；而pull out则为“撤离”之义。显然，正确答案为pull through。

78．正确答案为D）。从九十年代初开始，很多工商业领域的一个发展趋势是：产品和服务都可以量身定做，现货供应，其目的在于为顾客而不是为厂商提供更多的便利。从句子的
