阅读强化训练(七)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解Teens suffering from depression are not likely to tell parents straightup, and they may use confusing language to describe their feelings,researchers said. According to Daniela DeFrino of the University ofIllinois at Chicago College of Medicine and College of Nursing, teensrarely stated they were depressed, but they often described their feelingslike，“I’m down.I always find somehow to go back to stressful mode.”“Parents can easily overlook these expressions or link them to regular stress，”said DeFrino.“But sometimes there is so much more under the surface that can lead to depression.”DeFrino and colleagues went through deep interviews done with 369 teenagers taking part in an ongoing health study paid for by the National Institute of Mental Health.The teens, considered at risk for depression, gave indirect clues to their state of mind.These teens are reported feeling angry, a loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy, and either sleeping too much or having trouble sleeping.In terms of the reasons，most mentioned homework pressure and expectations of success.Teens whose moods had worsened talked about arguments with parents, verbal(口头的) and emotional abuse.Twothirds of the teens had visited doctors for health problems.“Doctors, nurses and other medical providers need to be aware of the opportun ities to care a child’s mental health，”DeFrino said.“Teens may be experiencing a lot of internal struggles and difficult life stresses, which need our examination with sensitive questioning and understanding，”DeFrino explained.“In this way, we can find ch ildren’s mental health problems and help deal with them in advance.”【解题导语】患有抑郁症的青少年通常会通过间接方式表达自己的抑郁倾向，这一点应引起家长和医护人员的重视。

阅读强化训练 (4)(建议用时： 25 分钟 )Ⅰ 阅读理解Next month, about 30 ， 000 runners will take to the streets of Boston, Massachusetts, for oneof the world ’s oldest and most famous races, the Boston Marathon. Nearly half the competitors inthe 26.2- mile race will be women. But for most of the race ’119s-year history, only men wereofficially allowed to compete.A woman named Roberta “Bobbi ” Gibb helped change that in 1966, when she secretly ranthe marathon and finished ahead of most of the men.“ Word went out around the world that awoman had done the__impossible ，” says Gibb.“ It changed the way men thought aboutwomen.”Gibb saw her first Boston Marathon in 1964, while running through her neighborhood. Shewas inspired to run the race herself. For nearly two years, Gibb trained to build the energy andstrength she’ d need to finish. But when she sent in an application for the 1966 race, it was turneddown.At the time, the longest official races for women were only 1.5 miles. Many people didn’ t think women were physically capable of running longer distances. Running a marathon was alsoseen as“ unladylike．”But the 23 - year- old Gibb refused to let go of her dream. She came up with a plan to run therace anyway. On April 19, she showed up at the marathon wearing her brother’ s shorts and asweatshirt to hide the fact that she was a woman.Gibb hid in the bushes near the starting line.When the race began, she jumped into thepack.Shortly into the race, Gibb took off her sweatshirt. To her surprise, the crowd cheered whenthey realized she was a woman.Gibb finished the race in 3 hours and 21 minutes — faster than twothirds of the male runners.Gibb opened the door for future female long- distance runners.In the years that followed ， sheand other women ran in the Boston Marathon, even though the rules still prohibited( 禁止 ) womenfrom running in the race. Finally ， in 1972, the marathon was officially opened to women.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

【2018年公共英语考试四级阅读强化训练(五)】四级阅读强化训练600题答案
【2018年公共英语考试四级阅读强化训练（五）】四级阅读强化训练600题答案If ambition is to be well regarded, the rewards of ambition — wealth, distinction, control over one’s destiny — must be deemed worthy of the sacrifices made on ambition’s behalf. If the tradition of ambition is to have vitality, it must be widely shared; and it especially must be highly regarded by people who are themselves admired, the educated not least among them. In an odd way, however, it is the educated who have claimed to have given up on ambition as an ideal. What is odd is that they have perhaps most benefited from ambition — if not always their own then that of their parents and grandparents. There is a heavy note of hypocrisy in this, a case of closing the barn door after the horses have escaped — with the educated themselves riding on them.Certainly people do not seem less interested in suess and its signs now than formerly. Summer homes, European travel, BMWs — the locations, place names and name brands may change, but such items do not seem less in demand today than a decade or two years ago. What has happened is that people cannot confess fully to their dreams, as easily and openly as once theycould, lest they be thought pushing, acquisitive and vulgar. Instead, we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles, which now more than ever seem in ample supply: the critic of American materialism with a Southampton summer home; the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in three-star restaurants; the journalist advocating participatory democracy in all phases of life, whose own children are enrolled in private schools. For such people and many more perhaps not so exceptional, the proper formulation is, “Sueed at all costs but avoid appearing ambitious.”The attacks on ambition are many and e from various angles; its public defenders are few and unimpressive, where they are not extremely unattractive. As a result, the support for ambition as a healthy impulse, a quality to be admired and fixed in the mind of the young, is probably lower than it has ever been in the United States. This does not mean that ambition is at an end, that people no longer feel its stirrings and promptings, but only that, no longer openly honored, it is less openly professed. Consequences follow from this, of course, some of which are that ambition is driven underground, or made sly. Such, then, is the way things stand: on the left angrycritics, on the right stupid supporters, and in the middle, as usual, the majority of earnest people trying to get on in life.1. It is generally believed that ambition may be well regarded if ____.A. its returns well pensate for the sacrificesB. it is rewarded with money, fame and powerC. its goals are spiritual rather than materialD. it is shared by the rich and the famous2. The last sentence of the first paragraph most probably implies that it is ____.A. customary of the educated to discard ambition in wordsB. too late to check ambition once it has been let outC. dishonest to deny ambition after the fulfillment of the goalD. impractical for the educated to enjoy benefits from ambition3. Some people do not openly admit they have ambition because ____.A. they think of it as immoralB. their pursuits are not fame or wealthC. ambition is not closely related to material benefitsD. they do not want to appear greedy and contemptible4. From the last paragraph the conclusion can be drawn that ambition should be maintained ____.A. secretly and vigorouslyB. openly and enthusiasticallyC. easily and momentarilyD. verbally and spiritually参考答案：ACDB内容仅供参考。

阅读强化训练(八)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解Actually, all the world’s major religions teach that being hardworking in the serv ice of others is our highest nature and thus lies at the center of a happy life.Scientific surveys and studies confirm shared rules of our faiths.Americans who prioritize(优先考虑) doing good for others are almost twice as likely to say they are very happy about their lives.In Germany, people who seek to serve society are five times likelier to say they are very happy than those who do not view service as important.Selflessness and joy are connected.This helps explain why pain and anger are sweeping through rich countries.The problem is not a lack of material riches.It is a growing number of people who feel they are no longer useful, no longer needed, and no longer one with their societies.What can we do to help? The first answer is not systematic.It is personal.Everyone has something valuable to share.We should start each day by consciously asking ourselves，“What can I do today to appreciate the gifts that others offer me？” Each of us has the responsibility to make this a habit.But those in positions of responsibility have a special opportunity to expand inclusion and build societies that truly need everyone.Leaders need to recognize that a compassionate(有同情心的) society must create a wealth of opportunities for meaningful work that everyone can do.They should also realize that a compassionate society must protect the weak while ensuring that these policies do not put people in pain and dependence.Building such a society is not an easy task.Many are confused and frightened to see anger and depression s weeping like wildfire across societies that enjoy historic safety and prosperity.But people’s refusal to be content with physical and material security actually shows something beautiful：a universal human hunger to be needed.Let us work together to build a society that feeds this hunger.【解题导语】快乐的源泉是什么？不是你有多富裕，而在于你是否被这个社会所需要，是否能为社会做贡献。

Fredrickson, a leader in the field of psychology, identifies 10 positive emotions, including joy, interest, hope, pride, amusement, inspiration, love and so on. How often we experience these positive emotions compared to negative emotions in a day affects not only our mood, but also our physical health. She has discovered that those who have a 3∶1 ratio of positive to negative emotions on a daily basis are happier and healthier.Sadly, most people, even those who consider themselves positive people, are far below that ratio.The good news is that you can learn to increase your ratio of being positive, which leads to greater happiness, health and success.Research shows that by increasing positive emotions, we become more creative, perform better at tasks, and have better relationships. The most exciting finding is that we now have proof that self-generated positive emotions can improve our physical health.Nevertheless, we don’t want to get rid of all negative feelings. Negative emotions are proper and helpful sometimes. It’s appropriate to feel sad ab out the loss of a loved one. Anger often pushes us into action to improve a situation or correct a mistake. However, if you find yourself waiting impatiently when the driver in front of you doesn’t instantly notice the light turns green, or if you find you rself scolding your kids for laughing too loud while you are on the phone, you are having negative feelings in your daily life too often. Then you should step back and analyze those feelings, and turn them around.【解题导语】研究表明：积极的情感不仅能增加幸福感，而且对身体健康也有好处。

阅读强化训练(四)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解If you’ve ever seen old black-and-white photographs from long, long ago, the faces in those old photos would seem to confirm a sad existence：there’s rarely a smile to be found anywhere.Was life back then really that bad? Or is there another explanation for the lack of smiling faces in old photos?Some people believe it’s because people long ago had really bad teeth. Did people simply refuse to smile for the camera because they didn’t want to show their discolored or missing teeth？It’s possible, although some experts doubt that’s a primary reason.Since everyone back then would have had similar oral health issues, people themselves probably weren’t aware of it.Another possible factor is technology：the earliest cameras required long exposure(暴露) time to capture a photograph. Some believe people simply couldn’t hold a smile for that long, so they instead chose a more solemn expression that they could maintain for a longer time.Experts point out, however, that much shorter exposure time came about long before smiles became common in photos.Some experts believe the lack of smiles in old photos is a result of historical views on smiling.In today’s world where the “selfie”is so common，smiles have something to do with happiness and well-being.In the distant past, wide smiles were often seen as signs of madness, loudness, or other undesirable traits.This historical view of smiling is shown in portraits(肖像) that were painted in the hundreds of years before cameras came into existence.Hundreds of years ago, a portrait was, for most people, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be kept on canvas forever.A solemn expression was considered a dignified(有尊严的) way to be represented forever, and it was better than a stupid wide smile that might make someone question your mental health.Experts believe this same view probably influenced the earliest photographs, which usually tried to imitate the painted portrait as an art form.Today，smart phones and cameras are widely used.Smiles, even funny faces, are easily seen in today’s photos.After all, taking photographs is no longer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。
作者从多个角度探讨了为什么在老照片里很少见到人们的笑脸。
1．Why does the author put forward questions in Paragraph 1?A．To introduce the main topic.B．To show the author’s attitude.C．To describe the life long ago.D．To show the difference in old photos.A解析：推理判断题。
根据第一段两个问题可判断，作者提出两个问题主要是为了引出文章的主要话题。
2．What does the underlined word “solemn” mean in Paragraph 3?A．Anxious. B．Satisfied.C．Serious. D．Surprised.C解析：词义猜测题。
结合前文的Some believe people simply couldn’t hold a smile for that long以及第五段第一句A solemn expression was considered a dignified(有尊严的) way to be represented forever可推知，以前人们在照相时需要选择一个严肃的表情，划线词意为“严肃的”。
3．What conclusion can we draw from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A．An old portrait is more a picture than an art.B．Both portraits and photos can be seen as art.C．Wide smiles are also rarely seen in old portraits.D．Old portraits were influenced by the earliest photographs.C解析：细节理解题。
根据第四段最后两句和第五段最后一句可知，照相机出现之前，肖像画也是奢侈品，人们非常珍惜这难得的机会，因此在肖像画中他们也表现得很庄重，故很少见笑脸。
4．What is the passage mainly about?A．The development of photography.B．Technology progress in taking photos.C．The difference between portraits and photos.D．Reasons why smiles are rarely seen in old photos.D解析：主旨大意题。
综合全文内容，尤其是第一段内容可知，本文主要探讨了为什么老照片里很少见到人们的笑脸。
