2013英语专业四级真题语法、完型填空题及解析

【完形填空原文】

Everyone knows that taxation is necessary in a modern state: Without it, it would not be possible to pay the soldiers and policemen who protect us；nor the workers in government offices who look after our health, our food, our water, and all the other things that we cannot do for ourselves；nor the ministers and members of parliament(国会) who govern the country for us. By means of taxation, we pay for things that we need just as much as we need somewhere to live and something to eat.

But everyone knows that taxation is necessary, different people have different ideas about how taxation should be arranged. Should each person have to pay a certain amount of money to the government each year? Or should there be tax on things that people buy and sell? If the first kind of taxation is used, should everyone pay the same tax, whether he is rich or poor? If the second kind of tax is preferred, should everything be taxed equally?

In most countries, a direct tax on persons, which is called income tax, exists. It is arranged in such a way that the poorest people pay nothing, and the percentage of tax grows greater as the taxpayer’s income grows. In England, for example, the tax on the richest people goes up as high as ninety-five percent!

But countries with direct taxation nearly always have indirect taxation too. Many things imported into the country have to pay taxes or “duties”. Of course, it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops who really have to pay the duties, in the form of higher prices. In some countries, too, there is a tax on things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected, but the poor people suffer most. If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed, less money is got but the tax is fairer, as the rich pay it.

Probably this last kind of indirect tax, together with a direct tax on incomes which is low for the poor and high for the rich, is the best arrangement.

【语法题真题及解析】

51. Facing the board of directors,he didn't

deny __________ breaking the agreement.

A. him

B. it

C. his

D.

its

解析：本题考查动名词的逻辑主语。动名词可以有自己的逻辑（意义）主语，一般可以用名词所有格Tom‘s，代词宾格如him（口语），书面语情况下一般用物主代词his，their。本题选C，但我还是要吐槽，因为根本就不需要多此一举添加his, he didn't

deny breaking the

agreement完全正确，比原题要精简地道许多，从写作角度来看，his根本是多余的，当然纯粹考察语法的话选C。

52. Xinchun returned from aboard a

different man. The italicized part functions as a(n) _______.

A. appositive(同位语)

B. object

C.

adverbial D. complement.

解析：此题恐怕是最受争议的题目了，有人认为选A，有人认为选D。据目前来看，选D，具体讲解有待更新

53. Which of the following is a compound word

(复合词)？

A. Nonsmoker

B. Deadline

C.Meaness

D. Misfit

解析：首先要知道什么是复合词。A compound is a word that consists of more

than one free morpheme。所谓morpheme词素是最小的音义结合体，其最大的特点是不能再被分割为更小的音义结合体。而free

morpheme是指能独立存在使用的词素，bound morpheme则是必须依附于其他单位的词素，比如前缀后缀属于bound morpheme，如pre-，-ment，在单词shipment里，ship就是free

morpheme，ment则是bound。因此四个选项里只有deadline是由两个free morpheme构成（dead+line），其他三个都有Bound

morpheme比如non,ness,mis-等。

54. Which of the following sentences contains

subjunctive mood?

A. Lucy insisted that her son get home before 5

o'clock?

B. She used to drive to work, but now she takes

the city metro.

C. Walk straight ahead, and don't turn till the

second traffic lights.

D. Paul will cancel his flight if he cannot get

his visa by Friday.

解析: subjunctive

mood是指虚拟语气，四个选项里只有A的insist属于虚拟语气用法，其中that从句里省略了should。

55. The following determiners(限定词) can be used

with both plural and uncountable nouns EXCEPT

A. more

B. enough

C.many

D. such

解析：限定词的用法是近几年专四的热门考点，诸如some，many，both，all，each等用法究竟如何还是希望大家多翻阅语法书和词典。这道题看似有点难度，也许你从来不知道哪个限定词可以接名词复数和不可数名词，但好在备选项里每个单词你都可以去接名词试试就知道了，比如more

money,more trees; enough money, enough trees; many money?, many trees; such big

trees, such behavior.所以选C。

56. Which of the italicized parts indicates

CONTRAST?

A. She opended the door and quietly

went in.

B. Victoria likes music and Sam is

fond of sports.

C. Think it over again and you'll get

an answer.

D. He is somewhat arrogant, and I

don't like this.

解析：首先要明白and不一定表示并列。A，C里的and表示先后；D里的and表示递进；只有B里的and表示对比。

57. Which of the following CANNOT be used as a

nominal substitute(名词替代词)？

A. Much

B. Neither

C. One

D. Quarter

解析：估计不少学生看到名词替代词这个术语，一开始都吓着了，因为压根没听说过，不过对做这道题目倒无大碍，所谓名词替代词顾名思义就是指能代替名词或名词短语，避免重复的词，英语里one,

ones,(the)same等都是常见的。比如There are good films as well as bad ones.除此以外还有the kind,

the sort，比如Slang disappears quickly, especially the juvenile

sort.还有一些不定代词等比如all, both, some, any enough, several, none, many,

much, (a) few, (a) little, the other, others, another, either,

neither等，比如Can you get me some nails? I need some. I don’t want

any more food. I’ve had enough. 本题选D, quarter不是名词替代词。

58. All the following sentences definitely

indicate future time EXCEPT

A. Mother is to have tea with Aunt Betty at

four.

B. The President is coming to the UN next

week,

C. The school pupils will be home by

now.

D. He is going to email me the necessary

information.

解析：这道题目有点意思，既考查时态，又考查will的用法，A/B/D都是将来时的各种表达，唯独C的will，看似是将来时标志，其实不然，因为和by

now矛盾，这里will的用法是指you think something is true，表说话人自己的看法，比如That will be Tim coming

home now; Ask anyone and they will tell you the same thing. 本题选C。

59. Which of the following sentences is

grammatically INCORRECT?

A. Politics are the art or science of

government.

B. Ten miles seems like a long walk to

me.

C. Mumps is a kind of infectious

disease.

D. All the furniture has arrived

undamaged.

解析：本题考查主谓一致（agreement）。ten

miles看作整体单数，mumps腮腺炎这个单词就是以s结尾的，不可数名词；furniture在英语里是不可数名词；A里的politics并不是指政治，而是指政治学(political

science)，是不可数名词，但这个用法主要是英式英语。此外，politics表示政治可以看作不可数名词，也可以看作复数，比如Politics have

always interested me. 本题选A。

60. Which of in the following phrases indicates

a subject-predicate relationship?

A. The arrival of the tourists

B. The law of Newton

C.The occupation of the island

D. The plays of Oscar Wilde

解析：传统语法和现代句法学关于什么是predicate本身就不一样，题目的传统语法predicate指谓语，是对主语动作或状态的陈述或说明，指出“做什么”“是什么”或“怎么样”。其次，说实话，我手上所有图书查不到相关语法点讲解subject-predicate

relationship，谷歌后也没有什么结果，但我知道是选A，游客到来，只是我暂时找不出任何可靠来源来解释。

61. Which of the following italicized parts

serves as an appositive?

A. He is not the man to draw

back.

B. Tony hit back the urge to tell a

lie.

C. Larry has a large family to

support.

D. There is really nothing to

fear.

解析：又是同位语？！但是翻遍手上的各类参考书，都没有关于不定式to的同位语用法。四个选项的用法在语法书里并没有做进一步区分，都成为不定式的定语用法，修饰名词。不过还是可以看出不太一样的地方，A中名词和不定式是动宾结构the

man draw back，C和D都是不定式和名词构成动宾to fear nothing, to support

family；而唯独B,urge(冲动)的内容就是指to tell a lie撒谎，故为同位语。

62. Which of the following is NOT an imperative

sentence?

A. Let me drive you home, shall I?

B. You will mind your own business.

C. Come and have dinner with us.

D. I wish you could stay behind.

解析：花了点时间翻遍手头各类语法和用法图书，除了直接用动词打头，Do/Don't，You/其他唤名+动词,

let类型外，均没有见到D的wish类型。

63. If it _______ tomorrow, the match would be

put off.

A. were to rain

B. was to

rain C. was raining D. had rained

解析：最经典的If条件虚拟句，说的是将来，应该选A.

64. Which of the following sentences expresses

a fact?

A. Mary and her son must be home by now.

B. Careless reading must give poor

results.

C. It's getting late, and I must leave

now.

D. He must be working late at the

office.

解析：很多人都以为选B，其实应该选C。A，B和D都是推测，当然了C里说的fact其实是指天色不早了。请注意B，不要以为有了must就是fact，情态动词再华丽还是表示情态，说话人的态度观点，B要改为Careless

reading gives poor results才是fact。

65. The following are all dynamic verbs(动态动词)

EXCEPT

A. remain

B. turn

C. write

D.

knock

解析：看到专四考这个题目，我只能呵呵。动态动词是指能够延续持续动作的，比如hit，run等，相反的则是stative verb静态动词，比如know.现在进行时是常见检验手段。你不能说I am knowing the answer，只能说I know the answer，因此know是静态动词。同理，题目的A选项remain也是静态动词，其他都是动态动词。

PART I DICTATION （原文） 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.

大学英语四级完型填空答题步骤及技巧

大学英语四级完型填空答题步骤及技巧 答题步骤 首先,我们来看完型填空的解题步骤 （一）通读全文，了解文章大意 阅读理解是做Cloze的基础, 因此应该在对全文有了较全面的了解的基础上, 再开始做选择题, 切忌为了节约时间, 在未掌握大意的基础上“拿起来就做, 见空就填, 边填边理解”.那样做的结果, 不仅不能够节约时间, 而且会因为只考虑到所填的词在短语或句子内是否可行而忽略了整篇文章的连贯和结构, 造成选择错误. 因此,速读全文要一气呵成，尽管有空格、 生词或不明白的地方，仍要快速读下去。读时要注意找出关键词、中心词，划出某些代表 人物和情节的词，以便于形成思路。 当然, 由于考试时间有限，只能用略读法(skimming)将全文快速浏览一遍，明确文章的主题、 体裁。尤其要认真阅读全文的第一句，因为第一句都是一个没有空格的完整的句子，对后 文的重要提示。 （二）抓住首尾句 在阅读时要特别注意文章的第一句和最后一句，因为它们通常是文章的主题句，是全文的 中心所在。从第一句中可以窥见作者的写作目的，把握作者的写作思路以及文章将要叙述 的内容。而最后一句是作者对文章内容的归纳总结，表明作者的观点和态度，有利于加强 考生对文章的理解。 （三）联系上下文，进行逻辑推理 完形填空中有些空格的四个选项从词汇搭配、语法和单句的角度考虑均行得通。但由于文 章是一个完整的统一体，词、句、段三者存在着内在逻辑关系，此时，需要在上下文中寻 找有关的提示或暗示，对文章的情节进行逻辑分析，抓住主要语言信息的词语，理顺句与 句之间的关系，确定合理的答案。 （四）逐题选择答案 浏览全文之后，开始进入逐题做答阶段，运用查读法(Scanning)，对所有选择项从语法、 搭配和语篇等方面进行反复推敲，从而选出最佳答案。做题原则是瞻前顾后，灵活答题。“瞻前顾后”，即先读所填词的句子，回顾上一句，兼顾下一句。如果一句中有两个空白待 填，在初定答案时要“双管齐下”，在两处同时试填，然后通读全句，确定答案。答题方法：1）择优法：根据文章及结构边读边填，如果能够立刻判定最佳答案的，不必再去逐个考证
