【参考答题及解析】
1. 答案：B
解析：现在进行时可以表示某种感情色彩，如赞扬、厌恶、埋怨等。这时，句中常出现表示频率的副词，如always、forever 等。根据本题空当前后内容以及四个选择项中都包括forever 一词判断，本句含有一种埋怨的感情色彩：他总是杞人忧天。因此排除A 和C。B 和D 区别在于副词的位置。表示频率的单个副词作状语应置于助动词与行为动词之间。因此B 为正确选择。
2. 答案：C
解析：be used to do sth. = 过去常做什么事。由于句中有一个过去时间分句，所以应该选C。题意：孩提时，我们常在市镇广场上玩耍。
3. 答案：B
解析：worth 后一般接动名词，且动名词主动形式可表示被动意义，因此，此题正确选择为B。
4. 答案：D
解析：do away with 作“废除、去掉”解。根据题意，机器应被处理掉，因此do away with 应为被动式，由此得出正确选择D。题意为：公司在开完董事会后决定，工厂里的旧机器应该处理掉。
5. 答案：
解析：题中otherwise 为信号词，这意味着本句为虚拟句，类似的词或词组还有without 、but for 、but that 等。题意为：我当时头痛，否则我就会去听讲座了。
6.中公解析：属于It’s high time that sb. did sth. 这一句型，先确定谓语动词是过去时，再考虑语态和主谓一致的问题。
7. 答案：B
解析：注意倒装句型和连词前后的平衡表达法原则。
8. 答案：B
解析：表示否定意义的副词置于句首时，句子要求倒装。据此，可将C 和D 排除。A 和B 的区别在于时态。因为句中有时间状语before that night ，所以feel 这个动作在时间上属于“过去的过去”，动词应用过去完成时。据此，A 可排除，得出B 为正确选择。题意：在那晚之前我从未感到我的威力有多大。
9. 答案：D
解析：for a purpose 是固定搭配，意为“为了##目的”。所以从句中的关系代词which 前须有for。
10. 答案：B
解析：so … as … 和such … as… 作为连词，引导比较状语从句。如as 前为一可数名词并且有形容词修饰，so 后一般接形容词，such 后一般接不定冠词，如so big a problem, such a big problem ，据此，得出B 为正确选择。
11. 答案：B
解析：稍作分析，即可看出此题为一强调句，强调的部分为句子的状语。如强调句强调部分为状语，It’s … that … 结构中的that 不可用其他词代替。因此B 为正确选择。
12. 答案：C
解析：此题显然为一强调句，强调的部分为宾语补足语，在It is (was) that … 结构中，如强调的是名词或代词，那么that 可以用which(指物)或who 、whom (指人)代替。本题中强调的是一职位，因此可用which 代替that，C 即为正确选择。
13. 答案：A
解析：fifty dollars 虽为复数形式，但它被视作一个整体，即一笔钱，因此，谓语动词应是单数形式。因此排除B，得出A 为正确选择。C 和D 均不合题意。
14. 答案：B
解析：and 并列两个名词，如只有一个限定词或没有限定词，它们常常表示一个概念。truth and honesty 虽为两个单词，但表示一个概念，因此谓语动词用单数，A 由此可排除。
C 和
D 亦可轻易排除。题意为：真诚总是上策。
同等学力申硕英语模拟题答案
Paper one Part I Dialogue Communication Section A 1．选A。在语言学中有一种“使役行为理论”，指的是有些句子具有一定的使役力量，虽然没有直接提出要求，但听者听了以后会觉得说话者间接提出了某种请求，让听者做某件事。在这里，A方虽然表面是在问B方是否靠近门口，但其前提是感到寒冷，可见其目的并不只是单纯的询问B方所处的位置，而是间接地请求B方把门关上，所以选项A实现了成功的交流目的。 2．选B。A方问：“最新的一期《时代周刊》到没到?今天已经是星期二了。”选项B的答复最合理：“这杂志晚了。也许后天才能到。”其他几个答复均不合适。如干扰项A仅重复了杂志未到的事实，无任何新信息。 3．选A。注意本对话讲的是打电话投硬币的事。A方是电话提示，要求投入更多预付金(硬币)，否则通话就无法继续了。因此，选项A说：“噢，天哪，我没钱了。得把电话挂了。”4．选B。A方问：“Ray，你放学后不直接回家吗?”选项B说：“不。我1点钟还要上课，然后在图书馆待几个小时再回家。”干扰项A可能起作用。但应注意，按照英语的习惯，当回答内容为否定时，其前不能使用Yes。 5．选A。A方说：“听说你得了一张停车罚单。”选项A的意思是：“是啊，我根本不知道3区是专供教师用的。”Lot在此指停车的分区。 Section B Dialogue Comprehension 6．选A。女士问男士是否见过凯莉在附近出现，男士回答说，凯莉的手提包就放在椅子上，暗示凯莉很可能就在附近。 7．选A。男士提醒女士记得去看医生，但女士说只是有点擦伤，暗示她认为情况并不严重，不需要去看医生。 8．选B。pick up在这里的意思是“学某种东西”。on one’s own的意思是“靠自己”。知道了这两个词组的意义，就很容易选出答案B。 9．选D。这道题的关键词是resume，即“简历”。女士打算给这家电力公司递上一个简历。显然，她是想在这家公司工作。 10．选C。男士说他打算放弃拉小提琴，因为管弦乐队再次拒绝接收他为成员；女士对此表示怀疑：“仅仅因为你没能成功考入乐队，难道就此放弃吗?”可见她希望男士应重新考虑他的决定。“make”在这里指“成功作成某事”。 Part II V ocabulary 11．选B。commended：赞扬，表彰，其对应词应为praised，即“表扬，表彰”。本题题意为：那位消防队员因其在熄灭那场大火的勇敢表现而受到表彰。辨义：A．denounced斥责；C．welcomed欢迎；D．exclaimed嚷叫起来，大声叫。 12．选C。画线词rule out：排除掉，其对应词应为exclude，即“排除掉，不包括。”本题题意为：我们无法排除是他的妻子将他杀害的。辨义：A．foresee预见；B．run out用完；D．foretell预言。故答案为C。 13．选A。画线词back up，在这里的意思是：依靠，支持；其近义词为A support。辨义：A support支持。辨义：通过语义判断，到分辨词汇可分辨义：A．elevate；B．提高；C．investigate 调查；D．challenge挑战。本题题句的意思为：人们期待着科学家们做出彻底的研究来支持对这些新药所作的断言。故正确答案为A。

2013年英语专四真题及答案解析--汇总 【2013年英语专四真题及答案解析--听写部分参考答案】 What is a dream for One theory is that we dream to release the deep, secret desires. We do not express these desires in real life because of the rules of polite society. Another theory is that dreams allow us to solve problems that we can't solve in real life. We go to sleep with a problem and wake up with the solution. This may be a way to use our dreams rather than a purpose of dreaming. If you believe that your dreams are important, then analyzing them may help you to focus on the problem and help you to find the solution. The modern image is that dreams are the brain's way of cleaning up the computer’s hard disk. Dreams organize the events of the day into folders and delete what is not needed. But we all know that very little of what we dream is concerned with what happened to us that day. 【2013年英语专四真题及答案解析--语法部分】 51.

Much work is exceedingly tiresome, and an excess of work causes stress and even disease. I think, however, that, provided work is not excessive in amount, even boring work is less harmful than idleness. We sometimes feel a little relief from work; at other times work gives us delight. These feelings arise according to the type of work we are doing and our ability to do that work. Work fills many hours of the day and removes the need to decide what one should do. 参考译文： 我们应该把工作当成快乐的源泉呢？还是视它为一种负担?大量的工作让人极为不爽，超负荷的工作给人造成巨大压力，甚而积劳成疾。然而，我认为：如果工作量不是很大，即便没什么乐趣，也比无聊空虚对身体健康有益。有时我们从工作中获得慰藉；有时工作给我们带来快乐。这些感觉的产生取决于我们所从事工作的类型以及我们自身的工作能力。工作占去了我们一天当中大部分的时间，也不允许我们需要决定应该做什么。 PartⅦWriting 范文 Nowadays, more and more people are concerned about the problem of environmental protection, for the pollution has brought us so many bad influences.

Part III Reading Comprehension (25 points) Section A Directions: In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Passage One Sometimes a race is not enough. Sometimes a runner just wants to go further. That’s what happened to Dennis Martin and Brooke Curran. Martin, 68, a retired detective form New York City, took up running after his first wife died. Curran, 46, a philanthropist(慈善家)from Alexandria, started running to get out of the house and collect her thoughts. Both she and Martin got good at running but felt the desire to do more. “The more I trained, the better I got,” Curran said,” but I would cross the finish line with no sense of accomplishment.”Eventually , they worked up to running marathons(马拉松)(and longer races) in other countries, on other countries. Now both have achieved a notable -and increasingly less rate- milestone; running the 26.2-mile race on all seven continents. They are part of a phenomenon that has grown out of the running culture in the past two decades, at the intersection of athleticism and leisure: “runcations,”which combine distance running with travel to exotic places. There trips, as expensive as they are physically challenging ,are a growing and competitive market in the travel industry. “In the beginning, running was enough,” said Steen Albrechtsen, a press manager. The classic marathon was the ultimate goal, then came the super marathons, like London and New York. But when 90,000 people a year can take that challenge, it is no longer e xciting and adventurous .Hence, the search for new adventures began.”“No one could ever have imagined that running would become the lifestyle activity that it is today,”said Thom Gilligan, founder and president of Boston-based Marathon Tours and Travel. Gilligan, who has been in business since 1979, is partly responsible for the seven-continent phenomenon. It started with a casual talk to an interviewer about his company offering trips to every continent except Antarctica. And then in 1995, Marathon fours hosted its first Antarctica Marathon on King George Island. Off the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula; 160 runners got to the starting line of a dirt-and ice-trail route via a Russian icebreaker through the Drake Passage. 21. At the beginning, Martin took up running just to . A. meet requirements of his job B. win a running race C. join in a philanthropic activity D. get away from his sadness 22. Martin and Curran are mentioned as good examples of . A. winners in the 26.2-mile race on all seven continents B. people who enjoy long running as a lifestyle activity C. running racers satisfied with their own performance
