2020年大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案

As the pace of life continues to increase ,we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift,being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is an natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. In fact ,it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be .A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation adn give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress,and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress,in whatever form,we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme,but however little the stress,it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long,through continued exposure to stress,that health becomes endangered.Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress.Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could),we need to find ways to deal with it. 1.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____. a.they do not know how to enjoy themselves b.they do not believe that relaxation is important for health c.they are travelling fast all the time d.they are becoming busier with their work 2.According to the writer ,the most important character for a good manager is his ________. a.not fearing stress b.knowing the art of relaxation c.high sense of responsibility d.having control over performance 3.Which of the follwing statements is ture? a.We can find some ways to avoid stress b.Stress is always harmful to people

英语四级阅读猜词技巧

英语四级阅读猜词技巧 2、根据比较关系猜测词义同对比关系相反，比较关系表示意义上的相似关系。【例如】Green loves to talk，and his brothers are similarly loquacious. 该句中副词similarly表明短语loves to talk与生词loquacious之间的比较关系。以此可以推断出loquacious词义为“健谈的”。表示比较关系的词和短语主要是similarly，like，just as，also等。 3、根据因果关系猜测词义在句子或段落种，若两个事物、现象之间构成因果关系，我们可以根据这种逻辑关系推知生词词义。二、针对性解释针对性解释是作者为了更好的表达思想，在文章中对一些重要的概念、难懂的术语或词汇等所作的解释。这些解释提供的信息具有明确的针对性，利用它们猜词义比较容易。 1、根据定义猜测词义如果生词是句子或段落所解释的定义，理解句子或段落本身就是推断词义。【例一】anthropology is the scientific study of man. 由定义可知，anthropology就是“研究人类的科学”。【例二】In slang the term "jam" constitutes a state of being in which a person finds himself or herself in a difficult situation.

同样，从上下文的’定义可知jam一词在俚语中的意思是“困境”。定义句的谓语动词多为：be，mean，deal with，be considered，to be，refer to，be called，be known as，define，represent，signify，constitute 等。 2、根据复述猜测词义虽然复述不如定义那样严谨、详细，但是提供的信息足以使阅读者猜出生词词义。复述部分可以适当词、短语或是从句。 1)同位语【例一】Semantics，the study of the meaning of words，is necessary if you are to speak and read intelligently. 此例逗号中短语意为“对词意义进行研究的学科”。该短语与前面生词semanties是同位关系，因此我们不难猜出semanties指“语义学”。在复述中构成同位关系的两部分之间多用逗号连接，有时也使用破折号、冒号、分号、引号、和括号等。【例二】Capacitance，or the ability to store electric charge，is one of the most common characteristics of electronic circuits. 由同位语我们很快猜出生词capacitance词义――电容量。需要注意的是：同位语前还常有or，similarly，that is to say，in other words，namely，or other等副词或短语出现。 2)定语从句【例如】Krabacber suffers from SAD，which is short for seasonal affective disorder，a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood

2019年12月大学英语四级阅读真题及答案

2019年12月大学英语四级阅读真题及答案 2015年12月大学英语四级阅读真题及答案【参考答案】 36、N。 saw 第一空显然缺少谓语，优先考虑动词，结合语义并根据Late November and December能够推出应选择过去式动词，故答案锁定saw。 37、F。 decades 根据two，首选复数名词，结合语义，“ for the first time in the two decades”，二十年来头一次。 38、H。 globally 句子为主系表结构，不缺主要成分，所以首选副词和形容词，根据语义，ever表示“一直以来地、向来地”，“十一月向来是世界范围内最温暖的一个月。” 39、D。 chances 缺少主语，并且谓语是are，所以首选复数形式的名词，结合前文Enjoy the snow now，“享受现在的雪吧”，因为“时机是好的”。 40、J。 occurs 空格前方有主语，且是单数形式，而后面由when引导的时间状语从句的时态是一般现在时，所以主句谓语锁定第三人称单数形式的动词，只能选择occurs。 41、A。 specific空格左为定冠词the，空格右为名词，中间只能选形容词，选择“特定的”符合语义。 42、B。 associated 空格左为be动词，右边为介词with，中间只能是形容词或动词的过去分词形式，be associated with表示“与…有联系”，符合原意。

43、G。 experiences 空格左为主语southern Africa，空格内应该为动词的第三人称单词形式，结合语义，选G，“南非经历着干燥的天气。 44、M。 reduce 空格左为情态动词，空格内必须为动词原形，填reduce“减少”符合原题。 45、K。 populations 空格与左边的large fish 共同构成动词support的宾语，只能选一个名词来作为名词词组，故选K，“大量的鱼群”。【参考答案及解析】 61题，定位到第一段最后一句“varies by culture”，所以答案选A——They are culture-related。 62题，由题干的大写名词Russian定位到第二段和第三段。第二段的“Russian， for example， began to wake up about a half-hour later each day”这个句是干扰句，起得晚不一定睡得早，所以答案推不出“他们比其他地方的人睡得更久”。然后看到第三段“Russia’s other late nights and early mornings generally coincided with public holidays”，所以答案为C——They don’t sleep much on holidays。 63题，题干问的是欧洲人缺乏睡眠的major cause主要原因是什么，由题干的大写名词Europeans’ loss定位到倒数第二段的“compared to Germans， Italians， and the French， who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the Cup”，原文的Germans，Italians， and the French就是题干中“Europeans”的同义改写，而他们stayed up就是为了to watch the Cup，所以说他们缺乏睡眠的原因便是C选项——The World Cup。

英语四级阅读题技巧

英语四级阅读题技巧英语四级阅读题技巧，欢迎大家的借鉴查阅!选一些你感兴趣，且不需要经常查词典也能看懂的英语书;订一份英语报纸，既让你获取里面时尚的阅读信息，又让你体验到英语给你带来的快乐;看一些开阔视野、提高知识水平的英语电视节目等。英语四级阅读题技巧 1.习惯视读，避免手指阅读即在阅读时，应该使眼球沿着书行活动，而不是用手指或笔尖之类的东西，指着正在阅读的内容，一个词一个词地读。 2.略读问题和选项，带问题阅读做英语阅读理解题时，首先应浏览一遍所提问题，然后带着这些问题有目的、有针对性地阅读文章。 3.耐心通读全文遇到难解的词组和句子不要急躁，要尽量根据上下文悟出文义，解题时要“带着问题读短文”，分析判断，整题解完后要认真复查。 4.习惯猜词在英语阅读过程中，应该有意识地养成自己的猜词习惯，千万不要一遇到生词就查词典。因为只有养成猜词的习惯，并在阅读实践中结合自己的学习常识，才能培养自己的猜词能力，从而进一步提高阅读能力。英语四级阅读题技巧一、阅读积累要提高阅读水平，词汇量与短语量非常重要。所以要提高

阅读水平，我们就得学会积累词语。我们不妨这么做：在通读全文后看第二遍，遇到生词尽可能根据上下文来猜，仍猜不出意思的，就查词典，然后将这些词抄写在一本可随身携带的小本子上。每当有空时，就拿出这个小本子来背诵记忆。这样做不但不费时，而且效果也很好。因为不时地接触、反复地记忆，词汇量会增加得很快。二、大量阅读选一些你感兴趣，且不需要经常查词典也能看懂的英语书;订一份英语报纸，既让你获取里面时尚的阅读信息，又让你体验到英语给你带来的快乐;看一些开阔视野、提高知识水平的英语电视节目等。三、整体阅读我们常碰到这样的情况：句子都能看懂，但读完文章印象却不深，这就牵涉到对文章框架结构的整体理解。首先，要重视文章的标题和文章的首句，因为文章的标题或首句就是文章的主题，文章的内容就是围绕主题展开的;其次，文章的结尾句往往是这篇文章的结论或作者写这篇文章的用意所在;再次，善于标注文章关键句，可以帮助你掌握文章的全貌，理解文章的主题。很多题目就是围绕它们而设计的。四、把握要领在做阅读理解时，可遵循三部曲的原则，即：快速阅读短文，通读测试题，明确考察点;认真逐题作答;复查校对答案。做完所有题目后，再读一遍短文，逐一检查所有答案是否有误。如果有拿不定主意的答案,不要随意更改。一定要从原文中找到依据，方可更正。英语四级阅读题技巧 1.读懂短文，了解大意

大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案.

大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案（四）十六 Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , fortunately,the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of obergrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way. First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseaed or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air. One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but itis a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the desease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hurs and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts yu make will bleed. If this does happen,it is, of course,impossible to paint them properly. 1.Pruning should be done to ______. a.make the tree grow taller

四级仔细阅读解题步骤：选词填空

四级仔细阅读解题步骤：选词填空 (2007-07-28 09:21:24) 新四级阅读理解中的 Section A 是选词填空 ( banked cloze )，要求从15个选项中选出10个，填入一篇短文。除了部分借鉴了雅思阅读中的摘要填空summary 之外，这种题主要是脱胎于传统的完型填空( multiple-choice cloze )。与传统完型填空的比较：字数：完型填空不低于250个字（尽管样题是210个字），选词填空却不会超过220个字。题材：相当。无非社会、科普之类。难度：二者都比另外两篇仔细阅读简单得多，也都是考察考生总体把握全文和根据上下文猜词的能力。但是完型给出的四个选项词性相同，词义接近，考生不必思考词性的问题，只需分辨词义即可，相对简单一些。而选词填空的15个待选词不仅难于完型的四个选项，而且分成名词、动词、形容词、副词四大类。考生必须先确定词性，再结合短文的逻辑做出选择。这种完型填空的测试学术语称作“集库型完型填空”（banked cloze）, 即一篇留出空白的短文，后面给出一堆提示词和干扰词 ( gapped text with a box containing prompts and distractors )。在我们的四级考试中，提示词 prompts 就是那10个正确选项，干扰词distractors 就是那另外5个错误选项。对于这种新题型，我们怎么应对呢？下面是解题步骤。你手上的时间：7分钟 = 25 – 18 （ 18 分钟留给 Section B 的两篇常规阅读，一篇9分钟。也可一篇10分钟。但选词填空题还是要给出7分钟，时间不够去挤底下的综合题）第一步：通读全文read through (1分钟) 注意这里我没有用略读 skim 这个词。通读全文是用较快速度，一行一行地读，目的是把握至少 90% 的文章内容。而略读是只挑首尾句和连接词，跳着读，只了解 10% 的内容。和完型不同，选词填空后面的选项词义互不关联，词性也不同，而且还有5个干扰项，切不可先看选项，乱了脑子，自食先入为主的恶果。一定要先了解文章大意，带着文章脉络去找选项。所以，务必先沉着地把文章读一遍，尤其注意 gap 前后的位置，为寻找正确选项打下铺垫。

英语四级阅读做题技巧

解决办法第一，掌握正确的阅读方法。考生平时阅读一般会采取良种阅读方法。一种是先看文章后看问题；另一种是先看问题，带着问题读文章。那么究竟哪一种方法比较好呢？笔者认为还是先看问题后读文章比较好。原因在于，先看问题，你可以熟悉出题人的出题角度。并且有题干，你可以划出题干的关键词，特别是四级考试中有一类题目属于“指代题或词汇题”，如下所示：（一）词汇题显著问法：the word “XXXX”(line X, part X) most probably means? （二）指代题显著问法： 1.代词指代：the pronoun“it/those/that/them” (line X, part X) refers to? 2.名词指代：the word “XXXX”(line X, part X) refers to? 先看问题后刊文章的好处就在于，可以通过问题先把上述“核心词”在原文中划出，然后再读文章的过程中，一旦独到，注意历史高度集中的，这样有助于提高做题的准确性。由此得出正第一步，扫描题干抓关键。即首先看选项，划出题干中的的关键词。题干关键词包括：数字、人名地名、专有名词、引号里的词语等等。第二步，快速浏览全文，把握文章主旨大意标重点。即快速浏览文章。在快速浏览文章的时候，不需要每一个单词和句子都读得懂，没有时间也没有这个必要。在第二步的过程中，考生们所要做的就是首先弄清楚这篇文章的中心思想是什么；其次，用笔在试卷上面标记出考试要考的重点。那么很多考生就会问，如何把握文章的主旨大意，如何标记文章的重点呢？解答如下：首先，把握文章的主旨大意。要解决这个问题，需要分两步走。第一步，仔细阅读文章的首末段的首末句。因为英语文章段落结构上面我已经讲过。此外，西方人说话向来喜欢开门见山。所以英语文章段落70%都是一上来交待作者的写作目的或意图。第二步，要仔细阅读其他个段落的首句。然后把这两步综合起来，英语文章的主旨大意就可以把握住。

英语四级阅读真题练习及解析 Section B 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 Answer Sheer 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage. In times of economic crisis. Americans turn to their families for support. If the Great Depression is any guide, we may see a drop in our skyhigh divorce rate. But this won#39;t necessarily represent. an increase in happy marriages. In the long run, the Depression weakened American families, and the current crisis will probably do the same. We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses, By 1932. when nearly one-quarter of the workforce was unemployed, the divorce rate had declined by around 25% from 1929 But this doesn#39;t mean people were suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs, unhappy couples often couldn#39;t afford to divorce. They feared neither spouse could manage alone. Today, given the job losses of the past year, fewer unhappy couples will risk starting separate households, Furthermore, the housing market meltdown will make it more difficult for them to finance their separations by selling their homes. After financial disasters family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each other and their communities, A 1940 book.

英语四级阅读：不认识单词,答案照样能选对

英语四级阅读：不认识单词，答案照样能选对英语四级阅读历来都是同学们最上心的题型，但大家往往在与生僻单词和长难句的纠缠中，身心俱疲，丧失了征服的勇气，真是太可惜了。小编实在看不下去，决定分享给大家3个英语四级阅读的猜词技巧，让你看不懂单词也能选对题目，速来围观！ 1.根据对比关系猜词义在一个句子或段落中，有对两个事物或现象进行对比性的描述，我们可以根据生词或难词的反义词猜测其词义。【举例】Andrew is one of the most supercilious men I know. His brother, in contrast, is quite humble and modest. 【解析】该例中supercilious对许多人来说可能是个生词，但是句中短语in contrast(相对照的，相对比的)可以提示我们：supercilious和后面词组humble and modest(谦卑又谦虚)是对比关系。分析出这种关系后，我们便能猜出supercilious意为“目空一切的，傲慢的”。表示对比关系的词汇和短语主要有：unlike, not, but, however, despite, in spite of, in contrast，while等等。 2.根据比较关系猜测词义与对比关系相反，比较关系表示意义上的相似关系。【举例】Green loves to talk, and his brothers are similarly loquacious.

【解析】该句中副词similarly表明短语loves to talk与生词loquacious之间的比较关系。以此可以推断出loquacious 词义为“健谈的”。表示比较关系的词和短语主要有：similarly, like, just as, also等。 3.根据复述猜词义虽然复述不如定义那样严谨、详细，但是其提供的信息足以使阅读者猜出生词词义。复述部分可以是词、短语或从句。【举例】Semantics, the study of the meaning of words, is necessary if you are to speak and read intelligently。【解析】此例逗号中短语意为“对词意义进行研究的学科”。该短语与前面生词semanties是同位关系，因此我们不难猜出semanties指“语义学”。在复述中构成同位关系的两部分之间多用逗号连接，有时也使用破折号、冒号、分号、引号、和括号等。以上内容即为小编为大家整理的英语四级阅读的猜词
