Part ⅡReading Comprehension (35 minutes)

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

At dawn on September 5th, 1972 a band of “Black September”Arab guerrillas broke into the Israeli building in the Olympic village near Munich where 10,000 athletes were staying. Over 250 plain clothes police had been brought into the village, following a tip off of trouble ahead, but none of them saw the Arabs scale the fence. They burst into the Israeli building with submachine guns blazing at 5:10 am. Some Israeli athletes escaped through the windows and side doors. Nine were taken hostage. The guerrillas demanded the release of 200 Palestinians held in

Israeli jails and a safe passage out of Germany. Within hours the Olympic village was surrounded by 13000 police. The Olympic Games were suspended. After some negotiations, the terrorists were told they would be flown with their hostages to an Arab country. They were taken by helicopter to the Furstenfield military airport 25 miles from Munich. Just before midnight the guerrillas and their hostages began to walk across the tarmac to a waiting Boeing 727 aircraft. Suddenly al the airport lights were turned out and German police sharp shooters opened fire. The rescue attempt failed tragically. In the gun battle all nine hostages were killed, as well as four Arabs and one policeman. Three Arabs were captured and one escaped into the nearby woods.

Follow the following tips to reduce your stress to manageable levels! Avoid “

Must”think. Let go of the notion that you must do something in a certain way—for example, “I must get a great score on a test, or el se.” This thought pattern only adds to the stress you’ll feel. Evaluate your situation coldly and anal ytically, and not as a “life or death”situation. Watch the Mess. Don’t study in a messy or cramped area. Clear yourself a nice, open space that’s free of distractions. Set Manageable Goals. Break large projects into smaller and doable

parts and you’ll feel a positive sense of accomplishment as you finish each part.

Ocean Dumping. Visualize yourself walking on a beautiful beach, carrying a sand

pail. Stop at a good spot and put your worries into the pail. Drop the pail and

watch as it drifts away into the ocean. Think Good Thoughts. Create a set of positive but brief affirmations and mentally repeat them to yourself just before you fall asleep at night, and you will feel a lot more positive in the morning. Imagine

Yourself Succeeding. Close your eyes and remember a real life situation in which you did well. Imagine facing your stressful situation with the same feelings

of confidence. Use Your Bed for Sleeping, not Studying. Your mind may start to

associate your bed with work, which will make it harder for you to fall asleep.

Soothing Sounds. If you want to play music, keep it low in the background. Classical music especially can aid the learning process. Take a Hike, Pal. Need a study break? Take a short, brisk walk. Clear your mind.

26.If you meet a great difficulty, how can you reduce your stress?

A.To retreat from it.

B.To imagine that you are successful.

C.To turn to others.

It isn’t often that an entire industry is symbolized in the figure of a single

human being, and such is the case with Canadian aviation and the aircraft industry. The man is the Hon. John A.D.McCurdy, and the life story of this still vigorous, distinguished Canadian is at once and at the same time the thrilling history

of aviation’s progress in Canada.

It all began one cold February day in 1909 at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, when John

McCurdy confounded the critics by flying the Silver Dart, an aircraft designed by

himself, for half a mile over the ice of Bras deor Lakes. This was the first po

wered flight in Canada and the first by a British subject in the Commonwealth.

McCurdy gave proof of his flying ability—and of the development and the use of the aileron by being the first man in the world to execute a figure eight in

the air. He became the first to pilot a flying boat, taking off from Long Island Sound. He flew the first airplane to Mexico. In 1911 he had made the longest flight

to date, and that over open sea 90 miles from Key West to Havana. He won the first cross country race in Canada 40 miles from Hamilton to Toronto—and he transmitted the first radio message from aircraft.

When World War Ⅱcame, McCurdy took on board supervisory authority for Canadian aircraft production by serving with the government in various senior positions.

Following World War Ⅱ, McCurdy was honored by being made lieutenant governor

of Nova Scotia where he made Canada’s first historic flight. He now lives in Montreal with a summer home in Baddeck, site of his first flight.

31.According to the pasage, which of the following statements is NOT true

about McCurdy?

A.He was a Canadian.

B.He is regarded as the symbol of Canadian aviation and aircraft industry

.

C.He is the first man to finish a figure eight in the air.

D.He now lives in Baddeck.

32.The “Silver Dart”is ____.

A.the name of a weapon

B.a plane bought by McCurdy

C.the nickname of a famous Canadian pilot

D.a plane designed by McCurdy

33.McCurdy is NOT the first one to ____.

A.fly in Canada

B.pilot a flying boat

C.fly from Key West to Toronto

D.fly to Mexico

34.Nowadays, McCurdy ____.

A.lives in Montreal in summer

B.is the lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia

C.is still very active and energetic

D.is the government’s counsellor

35.The best title for this passage is ____.

A.How McCurdy Became a Famous Canadian Pilot

B.McCurdy’s Legendary Experience

C.McCurdy and the Canandian Aviation

D.McCurdy—the Symbol of American Aviation and the Aircraft Industry

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

The oldest and simplest method, then of describing differences in personality

was to classify people according to types, and such a system is called a Typology.

A famous example of this method was set forth in Greece about the year 400 BC.

A physician named Hippocrates theorized that there were four fluids, or humors, in the body. Corresponding to each humor, he believed, there existed a definite type of personality.

The four humors were blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm. A person in whom all four humors were in perfect balance had a harmonious personality. If a person had too much blood, he was called sanguine(血红色), or cheerful and optimistic. Someone with too much yellow bile was choleric, or irritable and easily angered. Too much black bile made a person melancholy, or depressed and pessimistic. An oversupply of phlegm caused a human being to be phlegmatic, or slow and unfeeling. Scientists have long since discarded Hippocrates’ fluid theory. But the names of the humors, corresponding to these temperaments, have survived and are still useful, to some extent, in describing personality.

Other features of people, such as their faces and physics, have also been used

to classify personality. Today, however, personality theories and classifications

may also include factors such as heredity(遗传特征), the environment, intelligence

, and emotional needs. Psychology, biology, and sociology are involved in these

theories. Because of the complexity of human personality, present day theories are often very different from one another. Psychologists vary in their ideas about what is most important in determining personality.

36.According to Hippocrat es’ fluid theory, a man with too much phlegm will be ____.

A.optimistic

B.easily angered

C.unexcitable

D.pessimistic

37.The main idea of this passage is about ____.

A.the complicated factors in determining one’s personality

B.Hippocrates’fluid theory and its development

C.the past and today of personality classifications and theories

D.different personalities and their details

38.At present, psychologists ____.

A.have common opinion about personality theories and classifications

https://www.360docs.net/doc/3d5684891.html,e biology, archaeology and sociology to study personality theories

C.have abandoned Hippocrates’fluid theory entirely

D.all agree that human beings are characterized with complex personalities

39.The third paragraph mainly talks about ____.

A.Hippocrates’fluid theory

B.scientists’points of view on Hippocrutes’fluid theory

C.Hippocrates’fluid theory and its fate

D.defects in Hippocrates’fluid theory

40.According to this passage the factors which are still NOT used to clas

sify personality are ____.

A.one’s born features and needs of love and success

B.one’s height and weight

C.one’s hobbies and ideals

D.the environment and intelligence

短文大意

此短文主要介绍奥林匹克运动会史上的一件惨案。1972年9月5日,居住在德国慕尼黑附近

的奥运村里的以色列运动员遭到“黑色九月”阿拉伯游击队员的袭击。有9名运动员被扣为人质。此行动的意图是营救关在以色列监狱中的200多名巴勒斯坦人。在谈判的同时,德国警方实施营救活动,但遭惨败。枪战中9名人质全被打死,随后以色列为进行报复,又随派飞机轰炸了10个阿拉伯游击队基地。

21.答案B。

【参考译文】以色列运动员遭到袭击和绑架最可能的原因是……

【试题分析】此题考查学生“根据材料进行推理”的能力。

【详细解答】先找有关细节,解题的关键在第四句,意为“游击队员要求释放关在以色列监狱里的200多名巴勒斯坦人并安全离开德国”。这样,我们就可以来分析选项了。A项说

“因为以色列运动员和游击队有冲突。”这是事实,因为文章讲的就是,但这不是原因,故

不能选。再看B项“阿拉伯游击队意在营救被关押在以色列监狱中的巴勒斯坦人”,属实,

现在看C、D项是否更确切。C项说“德国政府憎恨以色列人”,风马牛不相及。而D项“阿拉伯游击队想要一大笔钱”,显然也不是他们的目的。现在就可确定B为正确答案无疑。

22.答案B。

【参考答案】事件发生的时候,奥林匹克运动会可能……

【试题分析】此题考查学生“根据已知信息进行推断”的能力。

【详细解答】根据第七句可知,奥运会赛事被中止。这不正

意味着当时奥运会正在进行吗?

这样,我们就可以来对选项进行取舍了。A项“结束了”,显然不对。C项“即将结束”,虽然也有正在进行之意,但概括得又太具体,所以也不能选。而D项“即将发生”,更不对。这样就只剩下B项,其意为“正在进行”,正是作者的隐含看法,所以正确无疑。

23.答案C。

【参考答案】恐怖分子被告知,他们即将被空运到……

【试题分析】此题考查学生“理解文章中某些细节”的能力。

【详细解答】根据选项,结合问题,可知选项涉及到国名。再看原文,发现第10句是关键句:恐怖分子被告知飞往某一个阿拉伯国家。特别注意“阿拉伯国家”五个字。好了,

现在我们就可以来分析选项了。去掉不属于阿拉伯国家的选项,就可以得出正确答案。A项“意大利”,B项“印度”,D项“尼日利亚”,都不属于阿拉伯国家。这样就只剩下C项,而“叙利亚”正好属于阿拉伯国家。从此题的选择过程中,我们可以体会到,多掌握一些英语背景知识如地理的、文化的、历史的等等,对提高学习成绩很有帮助。

24.答案B。

【参考答案】阿拉伯恐怖分子共有几名?

【试题分析】此题考查学生“根据某些细节进行推断”的能力。

【详细解答】此题涉及到数字,要考虑到有可能进行简单计

算。先找有关细节。根据倒

数第三句和第二句可以知道:(在警察实施营救时,)4个阿拉伯人被击毙,3个被捕,1个逃跑,所以有4+3+1=8个。这样就可以一目了然地找到正确答案为B。D为干扰性较强的选项。注意在解答此类题时不要遗漏数字。

25.答案A。

【参考答案】你认为在此次事件以后,巴以双方的关系将会……

【试题分析】此题考查学生“根据已知事实进行推测”的能力。

【详细解答】解答此题应具有一定的逻辑推理能力。通读全

文,可知阿拉伯国家(以巴勒

斯坦为代表)与以色列关系紧张。而经过此次冲突,以及以色列的报复,关系可能会更加恶化。据此,我们就可对选项进行辨析取舍了。A项说“他们将可能挑起另一次冲突”,与我们的分析及作者的暗示相吻合。再看还有没有更合适的选项,B项说“他们将可能开始谈判”有点可能,但既然以色列刚报复过,阿拉伯、巴勒斯坦会就此罢休吗?所以与A相比,应排除。再看C项“他们将尽量改善彼此的关系”也不合事实。而D项“他们将诉诸于联合国”,可能性也不大。所以可断定A为正确答案无疑。

短文大意

本文主要介绍如何缓解压力。作者给出了9点建议。第一,避免“必须”的想法;第二,注意不要杂乱;第三,制定可行的目标;第四,将烦恼倒入海中;第五,往好处想;第六,想像自己正在获得成功;第七,上床睡觉,不要考虑别的事;第八,听听舒缓的音乐;最后

一点,去转一圈吧,朋友。这是一篇心理学性质的科普短文。

26.答案D。

【参考答案】如果现在遇到了一个大难题,你将如何来缓解压力?

【试题分析】此题考查学生“运用材料中的事实进行推测”的能力。

【详细解答】根据问题所问内容,可知解答此题的关键在第

六点建议上,制定可行的目

标。也就是说在遇到较大任务时将其分为几个小目标,逐个完成。现在我们就可以来分析选项了。A项说“知难而退”,显然不正确。B项说“想像自己正获得成功”,是作者的建议,

但用在这里又不太合适,先标出。再看C项“向别人求助”,文章中没有提。再看D项“将难题分为几个小部分,逐一解决”,正是我们根据文章内容得出的对策。这题,将B项与D项比

较,还是以D项更合理贴切,所以选D。

27.答案B。

【参考答案】“Ocean Dumping”的真正含义是……

【试题分析】此题考查学生“根据上下文推测生词含义”的能力。

【详细解答】首先找“Ocean Dumping”在文中的位置,为

作者第四条建议的标题。只看

标题,或许还不能理解此词组的正确含义。为“倒入海中,还是在海里游泳……”。但再看下文对这一建议的具体阐述,我们可以断定,作者意在说“将烦恼忘掉”,而海只是一种想象,或激起联想的媒介。这样就可以判断A项“把东西放入大海”,太笼统,也是字面理解。再看B项“忘掉烦恼”,这正是作者的意思,这样也就不必看C、D项了。而C项“在大海里游泳”,D项“在海上航行”,显然是凭字面意思的错误理解,都不正确。

28.答案C。

【参考答案】此文可能选自……

【试题分析】此题考查学生“根据材料进行推理”的能力。

【详细解答】解答此类题一方面涉及到对文章主旨的把握,

一方面也涉及到文章体裁、风格的认

识,属于文章鉴赏方面的要求,有一定难度。根据文章内容、体裁及风格推断此文章属于科普说明文。而这只是确定答案的第一步,接下来就要考查我们对不同书刊上应包含什么样的文章这一知识的掌握了。现在来分析选项。A项说“科幻小说”,显然不正确,因为文章没有丝毫

科幻内容。看B项“心理学家的报告”,有道理,因为内容确属于心理学方面的。但此文是否有

点太通俗了,科学家的报告一般应使用大量的术语,只好先标出。再看C项“一本流行杂志”。这样的刊物应该内容广泛,有影视动态,有人生品味,也应有心理咨询方面的,所以与B 项相比,更好一点。最后看D项“一本教科书”。如此短小的文章,似乎不应列入教科书上的范文。这样分析下来,C项应为最佳答案。

29.答案D。

【参考答案】根据文章,下列哪一种人易有压力?

【试题分析】此题考查学生“根据事实进行推断”的能力。

【详细解答】解决此题时首先要了解全文的主旨和大意,特

别注意作者提到的九点建议

。现在来进行选择。A项“心胸开阔的人”,这样的人,按常理也不会有太多压力,而且作者的第一、第七条建议都涉及到一个人性格与压力的关系。据此可以排除。看B项“一个有

洁习惯的人”,这不是在作者的第二条建议中涉及到了吗?既然整洁环境可以缓解压力,一

个具有整洁习惯的人也不会有太多压力,故也应排除。再看C项“自信的人”,也不正确。

这样D项理应是选项了。看其内容“工作狂”,显然,这样的人易有压力,作者在最后一

条建议中已暗示了这一点。所以可确定D项为正确答案无疑。

30.答案B。

【参考答案】下列关于缓解压力的建议中,哪一项没有在文章中提及?

【试题分析】此题考查学生“利用已知信息进行判断”的能力。

【详细解答】解答此题的方法与上题类似。先通读全文,明

白作者在文中提到了哪条建

议。我们在做29题时已做了这项工作,所以现在就可以直接来看选项了。A项“在一个整洁优雅的环境中工作”,显然是作者的第二条建议,所以排除。B项“失败时微笑”,这可能

是一条比较好的建议,但文中并没有提及,所以应为选项。为确证,再看一下C项和D项,可

知分别为第三、第九项建议中内容所以也应排除,这样就可确定B为正确答案无疑。

短文大意

此文主要介绍了加拿大人McCurdy的传奇经历。McCurdy的一生是与加拿大的航空与飞机制

造业的发展紧密相关的。他在一生中完成了许多航空史上的第一。1909年,他驾驶自己设计

的Silver Dart飞机完成了加拿大历史上第一次飞行。以后又成为第一个在空中作8字飞行的人。他也是世界上第一个驾驶飞艇的人。1911年,他又完成了世界上有史以来最长的飞行。二战时,他在加拿大飞机制造监管部门担当要职。战后被任命为Nova Scotia 州的副州长。因为他的杰出成就,他的肖像成为加拿大航空业和飞机制造业的标志。

31.答案D。

【参考答案】根据短文,关于McCurdy 的说法,哪一项是不正确的?

【试题分析】此题考查学生“对事实的辨认”能力。

【详细解答】解决此题的关键在于找到有关事实,然后看选

项中的说法是否属实。现在

看选项。A项说“他是一个加拿大人”,从第一段即可确定属实,故排除,因为问题是问哪

一项不属于事实。再看B项“他被视作加拿大航空和飞机制造业的象征”,也可在第一段第

一句得到确证,故也排除。C项“他是世界上第一个作8字飞行的人”,从第三段第一句得知属实,也不能选。现在只剩下D项。其内容为“他现在住在Baddeck”,看最后一段最后一句可知他现在住在Montreal,所以不符合事实,故为正确答案无疑。

32.答案D。

【参考答案】Silver Dart是……

【试题分析】此题考查学生“根据上下文推断生词含义”的能力。

【详细解答】此题解答只需根据上下文进行合理分析推断,

一般就可以找到正确答案。

“Silver Dart”所在的位置为第二段第一句,紧接在此短语后的逗号之后有“一架飞

机”一词,故可以断定:Silver Dart为一架飞机,因为两者互为同位关系。据此可以排除A 项“一种武器的名称”及C项“一位著名加拿大飞行员的绰号”(此选项有一定迷惑性)。现

在只剩B、D项,逐个分析。我们再根据下文的内容可知,Silver Dart为McCurdy自己设计

,这样就可以把B项“McCurdy购买的飞机”排除掉。D项“McCurdy自己设计的飞机”,正为选项。解答此题时注意避免一看到“飞机”二字就选B项,以致功亏一篑。

33.答案C。

【参考答案】McCurdy不是第一个……

【试题分析】此题考查学生“对某些细节的把握”的能力。

【详细解答】先找到选项涉及的细节,再逐一进行判断取舍。先看A项“在加拿大飞行”,从第二段最后一句可以确证,故排除。B项“架驶飞艇”,据第三段第二句可以将其排除

。现在看C项“从Key West 飞往Toronto”,参看第三段倒数第二句可知,是从“Key West

”飞往“Havava”,所以不属实,应为选项

。而D项“第一个飞到墨西哥”也能从第三段第三句得到确认。这样,C为正确选项无疑。

34.答案C。

【参考答案】McCurdy现在……

【试题分析】此题考查学生“辨认事实”的能力。

【详细解答】“分辨事实类题”比较容易解答,只要找到有

关事实,进行对照即可确定

答案,实际上此题与上一题考查的目的及解题方法相似。逐一分析选项。A项“夏天住在Montreal”

从最后一段得知“他夏天住在Baddeck”,所以不正确。B项“是Nora Scotia 州的副州长”。

从最后一段第一句可知,他是在二战结束时担任这一职务的,故也不对。再看C项“他现在仍

非常活跃”,这个选项较难判断,因为有关细节不在最后一段,容易认为是“作者没有提到”而误排除。现在我们来看第一段最后一句,方知道这是文章的事实,故是选项。也就不必看D了。实际上,D说“他是一名政府顾问”,文中没有提及,也的确不能选。

35.答案B。

【参考答案】本篇文章最好的标题是……

【试题分析】此题考查学生“掌握文章主旨和大意”的能力。

【详细解答】解答此题需要具有一定的概括和推理能力。通

读全文可知,文章主要讲的

是加拿大人McCurdy的传奇经历。虽然他的一生与“飞机”紧密相关,但他并不是一个纯粹的飞行员。这也是我们应该认识到的。现在来分析选项。A项“McCurdy——一名著名的加

拿大飞行员”,根据以上分析,知道此选项有失偏颇。看B项“McCurdy的传奇经历”,这

正是文章的中心内容,所以合适。为了确证,再看一下C项“McCurdy与加拿大航空业”,

这显然不是文章的中心,因为文章主要还是从McCurdy个人的角度来写的,所以与B相比,也不能选。最后看D项“McCurdy——美国航空业的象征”,这里如果把美国改成加拿大,

或许可以选。所以最终确定,B为正确答案。

短文大意

本文主要介绍了性格理论其及分类的历史和现状。首先作者介绍了最古老和最简单的性格分类

理论——类型学。作者以公元前400年的古希腊物理学家Hippocrates的液体理论为例,详细

介绍了这一理论的内容。这一理论认为人体中有四种不同的液体——血液,黄胆汁,黑胆汁

和粘液。每个人身体中四种液体含量的不同情况,导致了性格的差异。现在这种理论已基本被

放弃了。在最后一段,作者又介绍了性格分类理论的现况。心理学家把脸型、身体状况以及遗传因素、智力、感情需要等都纳入分类依据,也同时引入了心理学、生物学和社会学理论。但

是,因为人类性格的复杂性,心理学家在性格分类理论方面及其决定因素上存在很多分歧。

36.答案C。

【参考答案】根据Hippocrates的“液体理论”,身体里面粘

液含量过多的人……

【试题分析】此题考查学生“根据已知事实进行推断”的能力。

【详细解答】先找涉及的细节,关键词“oversupply of ph

legm”位于第三段倒数第三

句。显然可知:“身体里粘液含量过多的人性格比较冷淡。”现在就可以来看选项了。A项“乐观的”,显然不对。B项“容易发怒”,也不符合。再看C项“不容易激动的”,与“冷淡

”意思很近。为了确证,再看一下D项“悲观的”,具有一定的迷惑性。因为“性格冷淡的人

”应该“容易悲观”,但也不是必然。再看一下原文,可知“有太多黑胆汁的人容易悲观”

,这样就可完全把D排除在外。现在,C项为正确答案无疑。

37.答案C。

【参考答案】本文的主要内容是……

【试题分析】此题考查学生“掌握文章大意”的能力。

【详细解答】首先看文章大意。本文主要介绍了“性格理论

及其分类的历史和现状”,

其中特别详细介绍了传统理论中的Hippocrates的“液体理论”。这样,我们就可以对选项进行取舍了。A项是“决定一个人性格的复杂因素”,显然有失片面。再看B项“Hippocrates

的性格理论及其分类的过去和现在”,这正与我们的分析不谋而合。所以为正确答案无疑。而D项“不同的个性及其具体表现”,显然也不对。

38.答案D。

【参考答案】目前,心理学家们……

【试题分析】本题考查学生“根据细节进行判断”的能力。

【详细解答】先找有关的细节,主要集中在最后一段。但具

体内容很多,所以只能先看

选项。A项说“对个性理论及其分类已取得了共识”,显然不对,可以以最后两句为证。再

看B项“使用生物学考古学和社会学理论来研究性格理论”。这一选项具有迷惑性。因为文

中说“生物学和社会学理论都被用作研究性格理论”,但没有提到“考古学”所以也应排除

。选择时要避免匆忙误选。再看C项“科学家已完全放弃了Hippocrates的液体理论。”从文章第二段最后两句可知;虽然科学家已不再使用这一理论,但其中的人体内的“液体”的命名仍被沿用,故也不能认为完全放弃这一理论。现在只剩下D项“他们都认为人类的性格非常复杂

”,应该为选项,而且从末段倒数第二句也可以确证。

39.答案C。

【参考答案】第三段主要讲述……

【试题分析】本题主要考查学生“掌握段落大意”的能力。

【详细解答】先分析第三段,主要内容是介绍Hippocrates

的液体理论的具体内容及其命

运。这样我们就可来对选项进行取舍了。A项“Hippocrates的液体理论”是主要内容,但此段最后也提到了其命运。故先划出,看有没有更好的选项。现在看B项“科学家对Hippocrat es液体理论的评价”,显然不是段落主要内容,故排除。再看C项“Hippocrates的液体理论和它的命运”,正是我们的分析,所以无疑是选项。也就不必看选项D了。而其内容“Hippo crates理论的缺陷”,更是答非所问。现在将A、C项相比,C项更合理,故选C。

40.答案C。

根据短文,下面的哪一些因素没有被用做性格

的分类的依据?

【试题分析】本题考查学生“根据事实进行推断”的能力。

【详细解答】注意问题中的否定词“没有”。结合问题和选

项,可知所需参考的内容在

最后一段。现在来分析选项。A项说“一个人的天性和情感需要”,可在文中确证,所以

不能选。B项“一个人的身高和体重”,属于文中提到的“physics”方面的分类依据因素,故

也排除。再看C项“一个人的业余爱好和理想”,在文中没有提及,也不能根据文中内容推定,所以不是分类依据,是为选项。而D项“(一个人)所处的环境和智力因素”,从末段

第二句也可知为性格分类依赖因素,故也不正确。

Part Ⅲ

41.答案C。

【参考译文】尽管宫殿在大火中受到严重毁坏,但最终还是

被修复得跟原来一样辉煌。

【试题分析】此题为近义词辨析题,兼考搭配。

【词义辨析】restore:恢复(健康);复职;(把建筑物,家俱、艺术品等)恢复原状,修复:restore an oil painting修复一张旧油画。A.repaire修理,不能与建筑物搭配使

用。B. renew更换;更新,只可表示精力的恢复,或更换旧物,而不是使原来的东西改变面貌。如:renew one’s strength恢复体力;renew a book续借一本书。D. renovate翻新

;修理;强调在原有的基础上进行改造,使之面貌一新:renovate an old house修理老房子。但renovate不能和表达到某一程度的介词“to”搭配,而restore常与介词“to”搭配使

用,所以C为正确选项。

42.答案D。

【参考译文】高速飞行器由能耐高温和高压的金属制成。

【试题分析】此题为近义词辨析题,又为形近词辨析题。

【词义辨析】withstand经受,承受:withstand kicks and

blows经得起拳打脚踢。A.

stand by在场;旁观:How can you stand by and watch the country go to ruin?你怎能

s.我无法忍受他的无礼。C. withhold阻挡:withhold the information把消息扣留着不让

人知道。

43.答案D。

【参考译文】在白人到澳大利亚之前在澳大利亚只居住着土著人。

【试题分析】此题表面为近义词辨析题,主要考动词是及物

还是不及物动词。

【详细解答】此题题干表明此处只能用及物动词的被动形式

,只有选项D为及物动词。

inhabit居住于:inhabit an island居住在岛上。A.live居住、生活,为常用词:live in Ne

w York住在纽约。B. riside居住,与介词at/in搭配使用:reside in a quiet street住在

一条安静的街上。C. dwell居住:dwell in the cave住在洞穴里。

44.答案C。

【参考译文】新的科学发现应用于工业生产方法上常使工作

更容易做。

【试题分析】此题为形近词辨析题。

【词义辨析】application应用、运用:the application o

f theory 理论的运用。A. a

ddition增加,一般用于in additi on to “除……之外”结构中,此处不符合句意,科学发

现不是“增加到”工业生产方法上而是“应用到”工业生产技术中。B. association联系,联想;协

会;结交:I’m working in association with another person.我与另外一个人合伙工作

。D. affection爱情;爱。

45.答案B。

【参考译文】尽管缺少食物,探险者们在严冬中仍设法幸存下来。

【试题分析】此题为词义辨析,根据句意选择最佳答案。

【词义辨析】survive幸存;活下来;通常指在逆境中(灾难

、困难等)生活下去。如surv

ive an accident在事故中幸免于难。A. live生活;生存。虽然在语法上也成立,但不如su rvive恰当。C. bear忍受,遭受;D. endure忍受,遭受。C、D均不合句意。

46.答案C。

【参考译文】约翰想把他的旧车处理掉,再买辆新的。

【试题分析】此题考固定搭配。

【详细解答】dispose of 为固定搭配,表示“处理掉”。

如It’s difficlut to dispos

e o

f industrial waste. 很难处理工业垃圾。

47.答案B。

【参考译文】考试后,我有种轻松的感觉。

【试题分析】此题主要考词性。

【详细解答】of为介词,后面要接名词,只有B. release“

轻松”最合句意,且是名词

。A. free是形容词,“有空的”;C. resort是动词,常与介词to搭配,resort to 表示“

求助于”;“诉诸”,resort也可用作名词,表示“度假圣地;常去的地方”。故C不符合

题意。D. replace是动词,表示“代替”。

48.答案A。

【参考译文】他考试不及格,完全是咎由自取。他整个学期

都没用过功。

【试题分析】此题考固定搭配。

符合句意。

49.答案B。

【参考译文】他咕噜地说了些什么,仿佛泄露了一个秘密,

脸一下红了。

【试题分析】此题为形近词辨析题,题干中“secret”和“blush”为关键词,“mumbl

e”并不影响答案的选择。

【词义辨析】expose暴露;泄露:be exposed to the sun

暴露在阳光之下。A. impose常

与介词on搭配,表示“把……强加于……上”。如:impose one’s idea on others把某人的思

想强加给别人。C. compose组成:be composed of由……组成。D. oppose反对:be oppose

d to this plan反对这一计划。

50.答案D。

【参考译文】当一个人被邀请共进晚餐时,按惯例应给女主

人带件礼物。

【试题分析】此题为近义词辨析题。

【词义辨析】common共同的,共有的,强调“大家都这么做

”:It’s our common conce

rn.这是我们共同关心的问题,common practice表示“惯例、常规”。A. general普遍的;

大多数人的:This sugar is a general favorite.这种糖大多数人都很喜欢。B. usual通常的

;习惯的:As usual, he gets up at 6:30 a.m. 像往常一样,他六点半起床。C. ordinary

平凡的;平常的:ordinary people普通百姓。此题是说被邀请到别人家吃晚饭应该给女主人带件礼物,这种做法已形成惯例,所有的人都遵守,所以用“common”比“general”更合

适。

51.答案A。

【参考译文】安全设备有助于防止车间出事故。

【试题分析】此题为搭配辨析题,题干中介词“in”为关键词。

【词义辨析】assist帮助,assist in 有助于。B. assure

使放心,常用于assure sb. of

…结构中。C. assemble集合,用在此处不合句意,且assemble不能用于assemble in doing 的结构中。D. contribute应与介词“to”搭配,表示“有助于”。

52.答案B。

【参考译文】尽管钻石很坚硬,但用激光可轻易在钻石上钻孔。

【试题分析】此题为语法题,考查“as倒装句型”。

【详细解答】由于此处缺状语,故D的语序不对。A缺少连词

。C项as引导原因状语从句,与

主句意义正好相反。B项为让步状语从句,把被强调部分放在句首,此处as可用though来代

替。如:Child though he is ,he knows much about physics.虽然他还只是个孩子,他对

物理学了解得不少。

53.答案D。

【参考译文】当你到一个新的国家时,你应该适应新的礼节

和风俗。

【试题分析】此题既是近义词辨析题,又是形近词辨析题。

【词义辨析】adapt使适应,使适合,常用adapt oneself t

o sth.结构中。如adapt your

self to the new environment适应新环境。A. adopt采纳、采取;收养:adopt this sugg estion采纳这条建议。B. fit使……适合,但着重强调“符合某种要求”,用在此处,从结构

上讲,完全可以,但意义不大合适,且fit多用于st h. fits sb. for…结构中,如His great height fits him for the team games.他身材高大适合参加球队比赛。C. suit满足,合…

…之意;一般不用人做主语。suit oneself随自己的便,爱干什么就干什么。

54.答案C。

【参考译文】在淡季,这家旅馆的双人间只需要50美元。

【试题分析】此题为近义词辨析题。

【词义辨析】charge索价:How much do you charge for t

hese eggs?这些鸡蛋怎么卖?

A. claim要求;需要;强调作为自己应有的权利去要求得到应得的东西。Did you claim on the insurance after your car accident?你的车出事后,有没有要求保险金。用在此处

55.答案B。

【参考译文】虽然摩根先生在公开场合显得十分高兴,私下里却很忧伤。

l can be very rude in pri

vate, though in public he’s usually polite.塞西尔在大庭广众中通常很有礼貌,但私下

里却很粗鲁。用在此处,正符合句意。A. in person 亲自:He brought me the book in pe rson. 他亲自给我送来这本书。C. by himself独自一人,独自地;强调不需要他人帮助,如He cooked the meal by himself.他自己做了这顿饭。D.as individual作为个人而言,此

词组并非固定搭配,类似的有as a student作为学生;as a physicist作为一名物理学家。 56.答案D。

【参考译文】儿子期末考试不及格,父亲发脾气了。

【试题分析】此题为近义词辨析题,兼考搭配。

【详细解答】temper脾气;lose one’s temper为固定搭配

思维;心意。一般用于make up one’s mind打定主意。而out of one’s mind表示“神态不清;发疯”。B. mood心情,心境,一般用于in a good/bad mood表示“心情好/差”。这里是指作“父亲生气了”,而不是指“没心情”。C. passion感情,激情,强调强烈的感情。Can’

t we talk about this with a little less passion?我们不能稍微冷静地谈论这事吗?

57.答案C。

【参考译文】十分紧迫,他应该立即给她打电话。

【试题分析】此题为语法题。

【详细解答】在It is/was urgent that…句型中,that引

导的从句谓语动词应用“shou

ld+动词原形”形式,should可以省略。类似的形容词还有necessary, advisable, desirab

le, vital等。

58.答案B。

【参考译文】他情绪变化不定,开始一个样结束时另一个样。

【试题分析】此题既是近义词比较,又是形近词辨析题。

【词义辨析】variable可变的;易变的:variable tempera

ture变化着的温度。A. diff

erent不同的。C. various各种各样的。D. distinctive特殊的,有特色的。从题干中可看

出此人情绪多变,而非有特色。故B为最佳答案。

【参考译文】奥林匹克运动会中的马拉松长跑的距离是26英

里385码,大约是从马拉松到

雅典的距离。

【试题分析】此题考语法知识,辨别同位语成分。

【详细解答】从题干中可以看出,整个句子是一个单句,可

以排除C、D两项,因为即使C

在语法上成立,两个句子之间也缺少连接词。而B则缺少定冠词,故A为最佳答案。

60.答案A。

【参考译文】他是个可以依靠的人。他从不食言。

【试题分析】此题为近义词辨析题,尤其是A、B两项。

【词义辨析】word命令、消息、诺言,一般不与冠词搭配,

也无复数形式,如Word came

that our basketball team won again.消息传来,说我们的篮球队又赢了。B. words言语,

话语,即所说的具体内容。如His words surprised us. 他的话使我们大为惊讶。C. permis sion允许。D. saying俗语谚语。go back on one’s word为固定搭配,表示“说话不算数,

自食其言”。

61.答案D。

【参考译文】尽管他通过的这次考试并不重要,却给他以后

的学习不少鼓励。

【试题分析】此题为近义辨析题。

【词义辨析】encourage鼓励:He encouraged me to accep

t this challenge.他鼓励我

接受这一挑战。A. persuade说服:persuade sb. to do sth.说服某人做某事。B. promise答应,允诺:He promised to come.他答应要来的。C. urge鞭策,力促:to urge the horse

on 鞭马前进。从题意中可以看出这次考试并不重要,只是鼓励了他,而不是鞭策他。所以D为最佳答案。

62.答案A。

【参考译文】我希望听到更多在那儿发生的活动的情况。

【试题分析】此题为语法题,考分词做定语的知识。

【详细解答】此处考动词现在分词用作定语。首先从go on

和happen两个短语均不能用于

被动语态,可直接排除B、C、D项。注意只有及物动词才有可能出现过去分词用作定语,如

a book written by Mark Twain马克?吐温写的一本书。

63.答案D。

【参考译文】你应该把这些桌子扔了,买些新的。

【试题分析】此题考有关throw的短语辨析。

〖CSD%0,40,0,0〗[FK(WB8001]【词组辨析】〖FK)〗throw away扔掉:Don’t throw this book aw

ay. It may be used later

。别把这本书给扔了,以后可能有用。A. throw off摆脱掉;匆匆脱下(衣服):throw off

the bad habit摆脱坏的习惯。此处题意是说去旧换新,而非摆脱桌子。B. throw down朝下扔。C. throw up(接名词)放弃:throw up one’s job放弃工作。

【参考译文】我不认识那位长头发的女孩,虽然她使我想起

我认识的一个人。

【试题分析】此题主要考搭配。

of sth. 使某人回想起……”结

构中。rimind me of my childhood使我回想到自己的童年。A. remember记住,记得:I r emember her name.我记得她的名字。B. recall回想起:recall one’s hometown回想起自己的家乡。C. suggest建议;表明:His words suggested his support to our plan.他的话

表明他支持我们的计划。A、B、C项均不能用于…sb. of sth.结构中。

65.答案D。

【参考译文】人们讨论谁将负责这一项目。

【试题分析】此题为形近词辨析题,更主要地是易混词辨析

题。

【词义辨析】从题意中可得出此处应填一个不及物动词,故

可排除B、C两项。D. arise

出现;发生:Difficulties will arise as we do the work.我们着手工作时定会遇到困难

。A. rise上升;上涨:The price rose up.价格上涨,用在此处不合句意。

66.答案A。

【参考译文】桌子上摆着些假花。

【试题分析】此题为近义词辨析题。

【词义辨析】artificial人造的:artificial silk人造丝

。B. false假的;不真实的;

指与实际情况不符。如This statement is false. 这种说法不属实。C. unreal虚幻的,强

调与客观情况不符,不是现实的。D. untrue不真实的,意思同false,花只能说是人造花,即假花,而不能说不是真实的或虚幻的。

67.答案B。

【参考译文】听他的演讲是件枯燥乏味的事。

【试题分析】此题考词性,为语法题。

【详细解答】题干中缺一名词成分,而四个选项中A、C、D

均为形容词,只有B. bore令

人厌烦的人或事,可以用做名词。A. bored感到厌烦的。C. boring令人厌烦的。D. boreso me根本就是一个人造词。

68.答案B。

【参考译文】关于他们的建议,我们将在下次会议充分讨论。

【试题分析】此题为词组辨析,以及固定搭配辨析题。

【详细解答】in regard to /of 关于……,为固定搭配,

所以A在形式上就不成立。with

regard to 也可以表示“关于……”,但不能用介词“of”来代替“to”,因此可以排除C。r egardless of 不注意,不关心;不顾:regardless of wind or rain风雨无阻。所以D项

在搭配上也不正确。

69.答案D。

【参考译文】发展核科学应造福于民,而不是危害于民。

【试题分析】此题为词组辨析题,要注意区分C、D两项。

【详细解答】rather than…而不是……:He would die ra

ther than surrender.他宁死不

屈。A. more than比……多:He is more brave than wise.他有勇无谋。B. better than优于

。C. other than而不是……,一般用于人,并与no连用:She is no other than Jane.她就

是珍妮本人。发展核科学当然只应该是为了造福于民。

70.答案C。

【参考译文】要经过多少个几十年科学家们才能提供治疗癌症的方法?

【试题分析】此题为语法题,考连词辨析。

【详细解答】before常可用于将来时态,表示“才;就”:

It will be several weeks

before you are used to the new life in college.几个星期后你就会适应大学里的新生活

了。A. when一般不与将来时态连用。B. since常与现在完成时连用。D. until直到,用在

此处意义不符。

Part Ⅳ

71.答案C。

【参考译文】到现在你已明白买到物有所值的物品并不仅仅

是运气的问题。

【试题分析】此题考动词与名词搭配。

【详细解答】此处worth为名词,表示“价值,物质价值”

。从后文中的“getting your

money’s worth”可推断,此处应用“getting”。

72.答案D。

【试题分析】此题为语篇结构词的辨析。

【详细解答】此处“It”指代上文的“get your money’s w

orth”。它与“buying skil

l”之间的关系当然是购买技巧决定所购买的东西是否物有所值,因此答案只能在A、D中选。而A强调不好的结果,即后果,不如C(结果)妥当。

73.答案B。

【试题分析】此题为语篇结构词的辨析。

【详细解答】从后文的“even”和“they are not”可推断

此处应用表示转折的词,即B

(然而)。A项表示因果关系;C、D表递进关系。

74.答案B。

【试题分析】此题为语篇结构词和语义项的辨析。

【详细解答】首先,从上下文的关系中可排除C、D。A. as

强调两个动作同时进行,一般

译为“一边……,一边……”,而且as还可用来表示原因。B. when只表示所处的时间,即“当……时”,用在此处最恰当。

75.答案A。

【试题分析】此题为语篇结构词辨析。

【详细解答】根据下文的“But, intentional or not…”

表明上一句是指欺骗行为也许

并不是有意的,因此A为正确答案。

76.答案A。

大学英语四级模拟试题四(附含答案解析)

大学英语四级模拟题四 Part One Reading Comprehension (2’×10 = 20’) Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow”from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory(呼吸的)diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases. Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility (能见度). There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals are apt(易于的)to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers. Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes(腐蚀)our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control. 1. Air pollution may lead to airplane accidents because . A. it may cause pilots to be ill B. engines may fail from the air-borne dirt C. visibility is reduced D. it brings a lot of black snow 2. Scientists are trying to find a link between pollution and . A. intelligence levels B. birth problems C. man’s behavior D. the nervous system 3. Scientists have not yet determined . A. all of the effects of pollution on the human body B. how pollution can be controlled successfully C. when the atmosphere first became polluted D. how some snow becomes black 4.

The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear “sensible shoes”with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference. The motion states: “Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely in appropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Feet bear the burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders. Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints. Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code. More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected.” Nadline Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticized the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace. “I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye,”she said. “If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me. The Trade Union leaders need to get real, stop using obvious sexist tactics by discussing women’s

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .
