2019大学英语四级考试阅读专项练习(27)Passage 1The Causes of ConflictThe evidence taken from the observation of the behaviorof apes and children suggests that there are three clearly separable groups of simple causes for the outbreak offighting and the exhibition of aggressiveness by individuals.One of the most common causes of fighting among both children and apes was over the possession of external objects. The disputed ownership of any desired object—food, clothes, toys, females, and the affection of others—was sufficient ground for an appeal to force. On Monkey Hill disputes over females were responsible for the death of thirty out ofthirty-three females. Two points are of particular interestto notice about these fights for possession.In the first place they are often carried to such an extreme that they end in the complete destruction of the objects of common desire. Toys are torn to pieces. Femalesare literally torn limb from limb. So overriding is the aggression once it has begun that it not only overflows all reasonable boundaries of selfishness but utterly destroys the object for which the struggle began and even the self for whose advantage the struggle was undertaken.In the second place it is observable, at least in children, that the object for whose possession aggression is started may sometimes be desired by one person only or merely because it is desired by someone else. There were many casesobserved by Dr Isaacs where toys and other objects which had been discarded as useless were violently defended by their owners when they became the object of some other child's desire. The grounds of possessiveness may, therefore, be irrational in the sense that they are derived from inconsistent judgments of value. Whether sensible or irrational, contests over possession are commonly the occasion for the most ruthless(残忍的) use of force among children and apes.One of the commonest kinds of object arousing possessive desire is the notice, good will, affection, and service of other members of the group. Among children one of the commonest causes of quarreling was "jealousy"—the desire for the exclusive possession of the interest and affection of someone else, particularly the adults in charge of the children. This form of behavior is sometimes classified as a separate cause of conflict under the name of "rivalry" or a "jealousy". But, in point of fact, it seems to us that it is only one variety of possessiveness. The object of desire is not a material object—that is the only difference. The object is the interest and affection of other persons. Whatis wanted, however, is the exclusive right to that interest and affection—a property in emotions instead of in things. As subjective emotions and as causes of conflict, jealousy and rivalry are fundamentally similar to the desire for the uninterrupted possession of toys or food. Indeed, very often the persons, property which is desired, are the sources of toys and food.Possessiveness is, then, in all its forms a common cause of fighting. If we are to look behind the mere facts ofbehavior for an explanation of this phenomenon, ateleological ( 目的论的 ) cause is not far to seek. The exclusive right to objects of desire is a clear and simple advantage to the possessor of it. It carries with it the certainty and continuity of satisfaction. Where there is only one claimant to a good, frustration and the possibility ofloss is reduced to a minimum. It is, therefore, obvious that, if the ends of the self are the only recognized ends, the whole powers of the agent, including the fullest use of his available force, will be used to establish and defendexclusive rights to possession.Another cause of aggression closely allied to possessiveness is the tendency for children and apes greatlyto resent the intrusion of a stranger into their group. A new child in the class may be laughed at, isolated, and disliked and even set upon and pinched and bullied. A new monkey maybe poked and bitten to death. It is interesting to note thatit is only strangeness within a similarity of species that is resented. Monkeys do not mind being joined by a goat or a rat. Children do not object when animals are introduced to the group. Indeed, such novelties are often welcomed. But when monkeys meet a new monkey or children a strange child, aggression often occurs. This suggests strongly that the reason for the aggression is fundamentally possessiveness.The competition of the newcomers is feared. The present members of the group feel that there will be more rivals for the food or the attention of the adults.Finally, another common source of fighting amongchildren is a failure or frustration in their own activity. A child will be prevented either by natural causes such as bad。

2019年6月大学英语四级阅读200篇汇总New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It's now a "global village" where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern business people who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts.Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being "out of sight and out of mind." He or she canbe sure that the overseas effort is central to the company's plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent (普遍的).Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn't generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.The employee posted abroad who speaks the country's principal language has an opportunity to fast-forwardcertain negotiations, and cam have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. Theemployee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.练习题：Choose correct answers to the question:1.

With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, businesspeople ________.A. have to get familiar with modern technologyB. are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operationsC. are attaching more importance to their overseas businessD. are eager to work overseas3.

According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporationsin employingpeople today?A. Connections with businesses overseas.B. Ability to speak the client's language.C.

Their values —this can't be repeated too often —are not necessarily our values.Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you cease to treat theold body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by pursuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate（激活） the old body, knowingthat it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there's life, there's hope.When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.21.It is implied in Paragraph 1 thatA.very old people enjoy living with their relativesB.social services have nothing to do with very old peopleC. very old people would like to live alone so that they can have more personal freedomD. very old people are able to keep their rooms very clean22.Some social workers think thatA.health and safety are more important than personal freedomB.personal freedom is more important than health and safetyC. old people should keep their rooms cleanD. one should not take the risk of dealing with old people23.In the author's opinion,A.the human body can't be compared to a carB.the older a person, the more care he needsC.too much emphasis has been put on old people'svaluesD.it is easy to provide spare parts for old people24.The word "it" in the last paragraph refers toA.the conclusion you have come toB. your talk to the old peopleC.whether age is happy or unpleasantD. one's money or one's health25.The author thinks thatA.medical decisions for old people should be left to the doctorsB.old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very richC.the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is doubtfulD.it is always morally right to treat old people and push off deathPassage 4At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don't act on your impulse, but let it pass instead. You know that to commit the action is wrong insome way and that other people will not accept your behavior.Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo（禁忌的） behavior is how it can change over the years within the same society, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly. It's not taboo to talk about fat; it's taboo to be fat. The "in" look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, trim executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline, and selfrespect. In an image-conscious society like the U. S. , thin is "in", fat is "out".It's not surprising, then, that millions of Americans have become obsessed （着迷） with staying slim and "in shape". The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the sole reason for America's obsession with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the criticalimportance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of North Americans has changed dramatically during the course of thelast century. Modern machines do all the physical laborthat people were once forced to do by hand. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, people's bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease. In an effort to avoid such a fate, millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising every day.26.From the passage we can infer taboo is .A.a strong desire to do something strange or terribleB.a crime committed on impulseC.behavior considered unacceptable in society's eyesD.an unfavorable impression left on other peopleBased on the ideas presented in the passage we can conclude "being fat" ___ .A. will always remain a tabooB. is not considered a taboo by most peopleC. has long been a tabooD. may no longer be a taboo some daymany other taboo subjects.The topic of fat isA. the same asB. different fromC.more popular thanD. less often talked about thanIn the U. S. , thin is "in", fat is "out", this meansA. thin is "inside", fat is "outside"B.thin is "diligent", fat is "lazy"C.thin is "youthful", fat is "spiritless"D.thin is "fashionable", fat is "unfashionable"The main reason the passage gives for why so many Americans are exercising regularly is _ .A. their changed life-styleB.their eagerness to stay thin and youthfulC.their appreciation of the importance of exerciseD.the encouragement they have received from their companies。

英语四级阅读理解练习题：美国人的睡眠欠债American society is not nap (午睡) friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. "There's even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep". Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb: "Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven. " Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. " We have to totally change our attitude toward napping", says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research. ? Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an "American sleep debt" which one member said was as important as the national debt, The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, president Clinton is trying to take a half?hour snooze (打瞌睡) every afternoon. ? About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have "a midafternoon quiet phase"also called"a secondary sleep gate. "Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap. ? We Superstars of Snooze don't nap to replace lost shut?eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather, we"snack"on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.这是一篇说明文，讨论了nap(小睡，打盹)及睡眠充足的积极意义。

2019年6月大学英语四级阅读练习题：老虎的生存危机
2019年6月大学英语四级阅读200篇汇总By 1970, according to a World Wildlife Fund report, only about 4,500 tigers survived throughout the world-half of them in India. Mr. Foresters, who followed and counted tiger footprints, estimated that in May 1972 only about 1,800 tigers existed in India. Project Tiger Supported by W.W.F. was immediately launched. Nine tiger reserves(保留地) were created, with armed guards protecting them.The project provided opportunities for researchers from India and abroad to study tigers in the reserves and gather previously unavailable information about their habits. Studies show that a male tiger may control a hunting territory of between 10 and 20 square kilometers, depending on its age, size and strength. Theterritory of male includes the smaller territories(领地) of three or four tigresses. A tiger marks the boundaries of its territories by spraying urine and other bodily liquids on bushes. But it tries to avoid territorial fights, being guided by the distinctive body smell of other tigers. Tigers fight to death only when a tigress is defending her young, or when a tiger is guarding a tigress from the attentions of other males.The popular image of the tiger is that of a merciless and unconquerable hunter. But studies show that it catches only one of 20 victims it tries to attack.Fears have recently developed that Project Tiger has been too successful. It has enabled the tiger population to double (by mid-80 S), but India"s human population has also grown out of control. Currently it is 750 million and likely to be 900 million by the end of the century. Land problem is becoming serious and many rural people feel bitter about the fact that some rich forests are reserved for tigers. A growing number of attacks by tigers on man has added to the hostility .练习题：Choose correct answers to the question:1.The ultimate aim of Project Tiger is to _____.A.study the growth rate of tigersB.protect tigers from being killedC.promote the breeding of young tigersD.analyze the behavioral patterns of tigers2.Studies have shown that ______.A.a tigress never attacks until attackedB.the tigress is not as fierce as the tigersC.a tiger usually fights another tiger to defend its own territoryD.the tiger is not an efficient hunter as is commonly described3.According to the passage, a tiger"s territory _____.A.remains unchangedB.is often defended by tigressesC.expands as the tiger grows upD.is the cause of most fights4.Some people are afraid that Project Tiger _____.A.has been carried too farB.has not received enough attentionC.has failed to achieve its goalD.is not worth the money spent on it5.The author seems _____.A.to be enthusiastic about Project TigerB.to have a matter-of-fact attitude towards Project TigerC.to have a hostile attitude towards Project TigerD.to be satisfied with Project Tiger1.[D] 根据文章第1段，老虎被捕杀是其数量剧减的根本原因，因此使老虎免于被杀是野生动物保护基金会的最终目的，故选D。
