大学英语四级长篇阅读专项强化真题试卷8(题后含答案及解析)
大学英语四级长篇阅读专项强化真题试卷8(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.Ancient Greek Wisdom Inspires Guidelines to Good LifeA)Is it possible to enjoy a peaceful life in a world that is increasingly challenged by threats and uncertainties from wars, terrorism, economic crises and a widespread outbreak of infectious diseases? The answer is yes, according to a new book The 10 Golden Rules: Ancient Wisdom from the Greek Philosophers on Living a Good Life. The book is co-authored by Long Island University’s philosophy professor Michael Soupios and economics professor Panos Mourdoukoutas.B)The wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers is timeless, says Soupios. The philosophy professor says it is as relevant today as when it was first written many centuries ago. “There is no expiration(失效)date on wisdom,” he says. “There is no shelf life on intelligence. I think that things have become very gloomy these days, lots of misunderstanding, misleading cues, a lot of what the ancients would have called sophistry(诡辩). The nice thing about ancient philosophy as offered by the Greeks is that they tended to see life clear and whole, in a way that we tend not to see life today. “ Examine your lifeC)Soupios, along with his co-author Panos Mourdoukoutas, developed their 10 golden rules by turning to the men behind that philosophy—Aristotle, Socrates, Epictetus and Pythagoras, among others. The first rule—examine your life—is the common thread that runs through the entire book. Soupios says that it is based on Plato’s observation that the unexamined life is not worth living. “ The Greeks are always concerned about boxing themselves in, in terms of convictions(信念),”he says. “So take a step back, switch off the automatic pilot and actually stop and reflect about things like our priorities, our values, and our relationships. “Stop worrying about what you can not controlD)As we begin to examine our life, Soupios says, we come to Rule No. 2: Worry only about things that you can control. “The individual who promoted this idea was a Stoic philosopher. His name is Epictetus,” he says. “ And what the Stoics say in general is simply this: There is a larger plan in life. You are not really going to be able to understand all of the dimensions of this plan. You are not going to be able to control the dimensions of this plan. “E)So, Soupios explains, it is not worth it to waste our physical, intellectual and spiritual energy worrying about things that are beyond our control. “I can not control whether or not I wind up getting the disease swine flu, for example,” he says. “ I mean, there are some cautious steps I can take, but ultimately I can not guarantee myself that. So what Epictetus would say is sitting at home worrying about that would be wrong and wasteful and irrational. You should live your life attempting to identify and control those things which you can genuinely control. “Seek true pleasureF)To have a meaningful, happy life we need friends. But according to Aristotle—a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great—most relationships don’t qualify as true friendships. “ Just because I have a business relationship with an individual and I can profit from that relationship, it does not necessarily mean that this person is myfriend,” Soupios says. “ Real friendship is when two individuals share the same soul. It is a beautiful and uncharacteristically poetic image that Aristotle offers. “G)In our pursuit of the good life, he says, it is important to seek out true pleasures—advice which was originally offered by Epicurus. But unlike the modern definition of Epicureanism as a life of indulgence(放纵)and luxury, for the ancient Greeks, it meant finding a state of calm, peace and mental ease.H)”This was the highest and most desirable form of pleasure and happiness for the ancient Epicureans,” Soupios says. “ This is something that is very much well worth considering here in the modern era. I do not think that we spend nearly enough time trying to concentrate on achieving a sort of calmness, a sort of contentment in a mental and spiritual way, which was identified by these people as the highest form of happiness and pleasure. “Do good to othersI)Other golden rules counsel us to master ourselves, to avoid excess and not to be a prosperous(发迹的)fool. There are also rules dealing with interpersonal relationships: Be a responsible human being and do not do evil things to others.J)”This is Hesiod, of course, a younger contemporary poet, we believe, with Homer,” Soupios says. “ Hesiod offers an idea—which you very often find in some of the world’s great religions, in the Judeo-Christian tradition and in Islam and others—that in some sense, when you hurt another human being, you hurt yourself. That damaging other people in your community and in your life, trashing relationships, results in a kind of self-inflicted(自己招致的)spiritual wound. “K)Instead, Soupios says, ancient wisdom urges us to do good. Golden Rule No. 10 for a good life is that kindness toward others tends to be rewarded.L)”This is Aesop, the fabulist(寓言家), the man of these charming little tales, often told in terms of animals and animal relationships,” he says. “ I think what Aesop was suggesting is that when you offer a good turn to another human being, one can hope that that good deed will come back and sort of pay a profit to you, the doer of the good deed. Even if there is no concrete benefit paid in response to your good deed, at the very least, the doer of the good deed has the opportunity to enjoy a kind of spiritually enlightened moment. “M)Soupios says following the 10 Golden Rules based on ancient wisdom can guide us to the path of the good life where we stop living as onlookers and become engaged and happier human beings. And that, he notes, is a life worth living.1．According to an ancient Greek philosopher, it is impossible for us to understand every aspect of our life.正确答案：D2．Ancient philosophers saw life in a different light from people of today.正确答案：B3．Not all your business partners are your soul mates.正确答案：F4．We can live a peaceful life despite the various challenges of the modern world.正确答案：A5．The doer of a good deed can feel spiritually rewarded even when they gain no concrete benefits.正确答案：L6．How to achieve mental calmness and contentment is well worth our consideration today.正确答案：H7．Michael Soupios suggests that we should stop and think carefully about our priorities in life.正确答案：C8．Ancient philosophers strongly advise that we do good.正确答案：K9．The wise teachings of ancient Greek thinkers are timeless, and are applicable to contemporary life.正确答案：B10．Do harm to others and you do harm to yourself.正确答案：J。

大学英语四级仔细阅读专项强化真题试卷8(题后含答案及解析)
大学英语四级仔细阅读专项强化真题试卷8(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.Aging happens to all of us, and is generally thought of as a natural part of life. It would seem silly to call such a thing a “disease.”On the other hand, scientists are increasingly learning that aging and biological age are two different things, and that the former is a key risk factor for conditions such as heart disease, cancer and many more. In that light, aging itself might be seen as something treatable, the way you would treat high blood pressure or a vitamin deficiency. Biophysicist Alex Zhavoronkov believes that aging should be considered a disease. He said that describing aging as a disease creates incentives to develop treatments. “It unties the hands of the pharmaceutical (制药的) industry so that they can begin treating the disease and not just the side effects,” he said. “Right now, people think of aging as natural and something you can’t control,” he said. “In academic circles, people take aging research as just an interest area where they can try to develop interventions. The medical community also takes aging for granted, and can do nothing about it except keep people within a certain health range. “But if aging were recognized as a disease, he said, “It would attract funding and change the way we do health care. What matters is understanding that aging is curable. ““It was always known that the body accumulates damage,” he added. “The only way to cure aging is to find ways to repair that damage. I think of it as preventive medicine for age-related conditions.”Leonard Hayflick, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, said the idea that aging can be cured implies the human lifespan can be increased, which some researchers suggest is possible. Hayflick is not among them. “There’re many people who recover from cancer, stroke, or heart disease. But they continue to age, because aging is separate from their disease,” Hayflick said. “Even if those causes of death were eliminated, life expectancy would still not go much beyond 92 years.”1．What do people generally believe about aging?A．It should cause no alarm whatsoever.B．They just cannot do anything about it.C．It should be regarded as a kind of disease.D．They can delay it with advances in science.正确答案：B解析：推理判断题。

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Markyour answers on your answer sheet.Text AMy mother's parents came from Hungary, but my grandfather was educated in Germany. Even though Hungarian was his native language, he preferred German to all the other languages he spoke. It seems he was able to hold a conversation in nine languages, but was most comfortable in German. Every morning, before going to his office, he read the German language newspaper, which was American owned and published in New York.My grandfather was the only one in his family to come to the United States. He still had relatives living in Europe. When the first World War broke out, he lamented the fact that if my uncle, his only son had to go, it would be cousin fighting against cousin. In the early days of the war, my grandmother implored him to stop taking the German newspaper and to take an English language paper instead. He scoffed at the idea, explaining that the fact that it was in German did not make it a German newspaper, but only an American newspaper, printed in German. But my grandmother insisted. So, under duress, he finally gave up the German newspaper.One day, the inevitable happened and my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My Grandparents were very upset, but my mother, his little sister was ecstatic. Now she could brag about her soldier brother going off to war. She was ten years old and my uncle, realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, went out and bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted. When the day came for him to leave, the whole regiment, in their uniforms, left together from the same train station. There was a band playing and my mother and her friends came to see him off. Each one wore her service pin and waved a small American flag, cheering the boys, as they left.The moment came and the soldiers, none of whom had had any training, but who had nevertheless all been issued uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I'm sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son, going off to war. The train groaned as if it knew the destiny to which it was taking its passengers, but soon it began to move. The crowd still cheering and waving their flags, the band still playing, the train slowly departed the station. It had gone about a thousand yards when it suddenly ground to a halt. The band stopped playing, the crowd stopped cheering. Everyone gazed in wonder as the train slowly backed up and returned to the station. It seemed an eternity until the doors opened and the men started to file out. Someone shouted, "It's the armistice. The war is over." For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up and formed into two lines, walked down the steps and, with the band in tow, playing a Sousa march, paraded down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home by the assembled throng. As soon as the parade ended they were, immediately, mustered out of the army. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn't last a tiny bitlonger. The next day my uncle returned to his job, and my grandfather resumed reading the German newspaper, which he read until the day he died.82. How did grandfather feel about the war?A) He hated the war because German language newspaper was no longer sold.B) He felt sad because his son would fight against his cousin in the war.C) He would not like his son to fight in the war.D) He was lucky to be in the U.S. when the war broke out.83. Which of the following is true about the newspaper grandfather read every morning before goingto his office?A) It was about all the latest news from Germany.B) It was American owned, but printed in Germany.C) Grandmother urged him to stop reading it because she thought an English language paper wasbetter.D) Grandfather gave up the German newspaper against his will.84. We can infer from the passage that "draft notice" (Paragraph 3) is probably _______.A) an order to join the armyB) a piece of writing that gives informationC) a warning to people about something that is going to happenD) a written order for money to be paid by a bank85.

Text BThe best advice I ever had came from one of the greatest souls the world has ever known ¨C Mahatma Gandhi ¨C on a sunny afternoon a decade ago. Most people pass through a period of anguish when their belief in humanity is at a low ebb. I was in such a period. My husband had recently died. My deep sorrow over his loss was followed by the humiliating realization that in the eyes of Indian Law I had no individual existence.Now as a widow without a son, I was not entitled to any share of the family property, nor were my two daughters. I resented this annoying position. I was bitter towards those members of my family who supported this antiquated law. At this time I went to pay my respects to Gandhi and say good-bye before leaving for America to take part in a conference. After our talk he asked "Have you made your peace with your relatives?"I was amazed that he would take sides against me. "I have not quarreled with anyone", I replied, "but I refuse to have anything to do with those who take advantage of an outworn law to create a difficult and humiliating situation for me."Gandhi looked out of the window for a moment. Then he turned to me and smiled and said, "You will go and say good-bye because courtesy and decency demand this. In India, we still attach importance to these things.""No," I declared, "not even to please you will I go to those who wish to harm me.""No one can harm you except yourself," he said, still smiling. "I see enough bitterness in your heart to cause you injury unless you check it." I remained silent, and he continued, "You are going to a new country because you are unhappy and want to escape. Can you escape from yourself? Will you find happiness outside when there is bitterness in your heart? Think it over. Be a little humble. You have lost a loved one ¨C that is sorrow enough. Must you inflict further injury on yourself because you lack courage to cleanse your own heart?"His words would not leave me. They gave me no peace. After some days of severe struggle with myself, I finally telephoned my brother-in-law. I would like to see him and the family, I said, before leaving. I told them of my plans and asked for their good wishes before starting on this new stage of my life. The effect on me was miraculous. I felt as if a great burden had been lifted and was free to be myself. This small gesture was the beginning of a significant change in me.Recently something happened to me. My guests of honour, the Prime Minister of Great Britain and Lady Eden, could hardly have been more important to me. I had planned everything meticulously, from the menu to the colour scheme of the flowers and the candles. When the guests had arrived and drinks had been passed twice, I signaled the butler to announce dinner. But still we waited. When for the third time drinks came round I excused myself and ran downstairs to the kitchen.It presented a shocking sight. In one corner stood a frightened little kitchen maid, in another the housekeeper. At the table sat my cook, waving a ladle and singing, beating time with his foot. His eyeswere glazed. The table was littered with pieces of chicken.My knees felt too weak to support me, but I asked in as normal a voice as I could command, "Why isn't the dinner ready?""But it is ready, Madame," my cook chanted. "All ready. Everybody sit down, sit down ¡-"I was furious. It was on the tip of my tongue to say "Get out. You're dismissed!" when I thought of the counsel that had calmed me so many times. If I lost control, I would only hurt myself. I pulled myself together. "Let's get something on the table," I said. Everyone pitched in. the food served wasn't quite what the menu described, but when I told my guests what had happened there was chorus of surprise. "If this is what your cook gives you when he's drunk," someone exclaimed, "what must he provide when sober!" The relief in my laughter must have sounded a little hysterical. My perspective restored, I realized that a dinner party, however important, is not the pivot of existence. To retain a sense of proportion is as important as being able to keep one's heart free from hatred. For all of us, no matter what our work, the advice Gandhi gave me is meaningful, "No one can harm you but yourself."88. Why was the author in anguish?A) Because she didn't believe in humanity any more.B) Because she missed her husband very much.C) Because she had lost her husband and she and her two daughters had no right to share thefamily property according to the Indian Law.D) Because she had broken the inheritance law and had an ill relationship with the other familymembers.89. Why did Mahatma Gandhi advise the author to go and say good-bye to her relatives?A) Because he was on the side of her relatives.B) Because he thought people should obey the law and conventions of the society.C) Because he thought bitterness in the heart could hurt her once more.D) Because people in India attached great importance to courtesy and decency.90. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A) The author made up her mind to call her brother-in-law immediately after her visit to MahatmaGandhi.B) The author felt a sense of relief after contacting her brother-in-law.C) Mahatma Gandhi's advice gave the author great courage to make the phone call for which shehad long planned.D) The author was haunted by the words of Mahatma Gandhi and she decided to obey the law ofIndia.91. What went wrong with the dinner she hosted for the Prime Minister of Great Britain and LadyEden?A) Her cook was drunk. Her housekeeper and the kitchen maid were too frightened to help.B) The kitchen maid and the housekeeper were beaten by her cook.。
