PART V READING COMPREHENSION [25MIN]

In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements,each with four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.

TEXT A

If you like the idea of staying with with a family,living in house might be the answer.Good landladies---those who are superb cooks and launderers,are figures as popular in fiction as the bad ones who terrorize their guests and overcharge them at the slightest opportunity.The truth is probably somewhere between the two extremes.If you are lucky,the food will be adequate, some of your laundry may be done for you and you will have a reasonable amount of comfort and companionship .For the less fortunate ,house rules may restrict the freedom to invite friends to vistit,and shared cooking and bathroom facilities can be frustrating and row-provoking if tidy and untidy guests are living under the same roof.

The same disadvantages can apply to flat sharing,with the added difficulties that arise from deciding who pays for what,and in what proportion.One person may spend hours on the phone,while another rarely makes calls. If you want privacy with a guest , how do you persuade the others to go out; how do you persuade them to leave you in peace,especially if you are student and want to study?

Conversely,flat sharing can be cheap,there will always be someone to talk to and go out with,and the chores,in theory,can be shared.

81.According to the passage ,landladies are ________

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/9a4895921.html,ually strict.

B.always mean.

C.adequately competent.

D.very popular with their guests.

82.What is the additional disadvantage of flat sharing ?

A.Problems of sharing and paying.

B.Differences in living habits.

C.Shared cooking and bathroom facilities.

D.Restriction to invite friends to visit.

83.What is NOT mentioned as a benefit of flat sharing?

A.Rent is affordable

B.There is companionship.

C.Housework can be shared.

D.There is peace and quiet.

TEXT B

(1) Travelling through the country a couple of weeks ago on business,I was listening to the talk of the late UK writer Douglas Adams’ masterwork “The

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” on the radio and thought-I know,I’ll pick up the next hitchhikers I see and ask them what the state of real hitching is today in Britain.

(2)I drove and drove on main roads and side roads for the next few days and never saw a single one.

(3)When I was in my teens and 20s ,hitchhiking was a main form of long-distance transport.The kindness or curiosity of strangers took me all over Europe,North America,Asia and southern Africa,Some of the lift-givers became friends ,many provided hospitality on the road.

(4)Not only did you find out much more about a country than when traveling by train or plane ,but there was that element of excitement about where you would finish up that night.Hitchhiking featured importantly in Western culture.It has books and songs about it .So what has happened to it?

(5)A few years ago ,I asked the same question about hitching in a column of a newspaper.Hundreds of people from all over the world responded with their view on the state of hitchhiking .

(6)Rural Ireland was recommended as a friendly place for hitching,as was Quebec,Canada-“if you don’t mind being criticized for not speaking French”.

(7)But while hitchhiking was clearly still alive and well in some places ,the general feeling was that throughtout much of the west it was doomed.

(8)With so much news about crime in the media,people assumed that anyone on the open road without the money for even a bus ticket must present a danger.But do we need to be so wary both to hitch and to give a lift?

(9)In Poland in the 1960s,according to a Polish woman who e-mail me ,＂the authorities introduced the Hitchhiker’s Booklet.The booklet contained coupons for drivers,so each time a driver picked somebody ,he or she received a coupon.At the end of the season,drivers who had picked up the most hikers were rewarded with various prizes.Everyone was hitchhiking then”.

(10)Surely this is a good idea for society.Hitchhiking would increase respect by breaking down barriers between strangers.It would help fight global warming by cutting down on fuel consumption as hitchhikers would be using existing fuels.It would also improve educational standards by delivering instant lessons in geography ,history,politics and sociology.

(11)A century before Douglas Adams wrote his “Hitchhiker’s Guide”,another adventure story writer,Robert Louis Stevenson, gave us that what should be the hitchhiker’s motto:＂To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.” What better time than putting a holiday weekend into practice. Either put it to the test yourself, or help out someone who is trying to travel hopefully with thumb outstretched.

84. In which paragraph(s) does the writer comment on his experience of hitchhiking?

A. (3)

B. (4)

C. (3) and (4)

D. (4) and (5)

85. What is the current situation of hitchhiking?

A. It is popular in some parts of the world.

B. It is popular throughout the west.

C. It is popular only in the North Amercia.

D.It’s still popular in Poland.

86. What is the writer’s attitude towards the practice in Poland?

A. Critical.

B. Unclear.

C. Somewhat favourable.

D. Strongly favourable.

87. The writer has mentioned all the following benefits of hitchhiking EXCEPT

A. promoting mutual respect between strangers.

B. increasing one’s confidence in strangers.

C. protecting enviroment.

D. enriching one’s knowledge.

88.＂Either put it to the test yourself…”in Paragraph (11) means

TEXT C

I am afraid to sleep. I have been afraid to sleep for the last few weeks. I am so tired that, finally, I do sleep, but only for a few minutes. It is not a bad dream that wakes me ; it is the realiry I took with me into sleep . I try to think of something else.

Immediately the woman in the marketplace comes into my mind.

I was on my way to dinner last night when I saw her . She was selling skirts. She moved with the same ease and loveliness I often saw in the women of Laos. Her long black hair was as shiny as the black silk of the skirts she was selling . In her hair, she wore three silk ribbons, blue ,green, and white. They reminded me of my childhood and how my girlfriends and I used to spend hours braiding ribbons into our hair.

I don’t know the word for “ribbons”, so I put my hand to my own hair and , with three fingers against my head , I looked at her ribbons and said “Beautiful.”She lowered her eyes and said nothing. I wasn’t sure if she understood me (I don’t speak Laotian very well).

I looked back down at the skirts. They had designs in them: squares and triangles and circles of pink and green silk. They were very pretty. I decided to buy one of those skirts, and I began to bargain with her over the price. It is the custom to bargain in Asia. In Laos bargaining is done in soft voices and easy moves with the sort of quiet peacefulness.

She smiled, more with her eyes than with her lips. She was pleased by the few words I was able to say in her language, although they were mostly numbers, and she

saw that I understood something about the soft playfulness of bargaining. We shook our heads in disagreement over the price; then, immediately, we made another offer and then another shake of the head. She was so pleased that unexpectedly, she accepted the last offer I made. But it was too soon. The price was too low. She was being too generous and wouldn’t make enough money. I moved quickly and picked up two more skirts and paid for all three at the price set; that way I was able to pay her three times as much before she had a chance to lower the price for the larger purchase. She smiled openly then, and, for the first time in months, my spirit lifted. I almost felt happy.

The feeling stayed with me while she wrapped the skirts in a newspaper and handed them to me. When I left, though, the feeling left, too. It was as though it stayed behind in the marketplace. I left tears in my throat. I wanted to cry. I didn’t , of course.

I have learned to defend myself against what is hard; without knowing it, I have also learned to defend myself against what is soft and what should be easy.

I get up, light a candle and want to look at the skirts. They are still in the newspaper that the woman wrapped them in. I remove the paper, and raise the skirts up to look at them again before I pack them. Something falls to floor. I reach down and feel something cool in my hand. I move close to the candlelight to see what I have. There are five long silk ribbons in my hand, all different colours. The woman in the maketplace! She has given these ribbons to me!

There is no defense against a generous spirit, and this time I cry, and very hard, as if I could make up for all the months that I didn’t cry.

89.According to the writer, the woman in the marketplace

A refused to speak to her.

B was pleasant and attractive.

C was selling skirts ribbons.

D recognized her immediately.

90. Which of the following in NOT corret?

A. The writer was not used to bargaining.

B. People in Asia always bargain when buying things.

C. Bargaining in Laos was quiet and peaceful.

D.The writer was ready to bargain with the woman.

91. The writer assumed that the woman accepted the last offer mainly because the woman

A. thought that the last offer was reasonable.

B.thought she could still make much money.

C.was glad that the writer knew their way of bargaining.

D. was tired of bargaining with the writer any more.

92. Why did the writer finally decide to buy three skirts?

A.The skirts were cheap and pretty.

B.She liked the patterns on the skirts.

C.She wanted to do something as compensation.

D.She was fed up with further bargainning with the woman.

93.When the writer left the marketplace, she wanted to cry, but did not because

A. she had learned to stay cool and unfeeling.

B. she was afraid of crying in public.

C.she had learned to face difficulties bravely.

D. she had to show in public that she was strong.

94. Why did the writer cry eventually when she looked at the skirts again?

A.she suddently felt very sad.

B.she liked the ribbons so much.

C.she was overcome by emotion.

D.she felt sorry for the woman.

TEXT D

The kids are hanging out. I pass small bands of students, on my way to work these mornings.They have become a familiar part of the summer landscape.

These kids are not old enough for jobs. Nor are they rich enough for camp. They are school children without school. The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago. Once supervised by teachers and principals, they now appear to be “self care”.

Passing them is like passing through a time zone. For much of our history, after all, Americans arranged the school year around the needs of work and family. In 19th century cities, schools were open seven or eight hours a day, 11 months a year.In rural America, the year was arranged around the growing season. Now, only 3 percent of families follow the agricultural model, but nearly all schools are scheduled as if our children went home early to milk the cows and took months off to work the crops. Now, three-quarters of the mothers of school-age children work, but the calendar is written as if they were home waiting for the school bus.

The six-hour day, the 180-day school year is regarded as something holy. But when parents work an eight-hour day and a 240-day year, it means something different. It means that many kids go home to empty houses. It means that, in the summer, they hang out.

“We have a huge mismatch between the school calendar and the realisties of family life,”says Dr. Ernest Boyer ,head of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.

Dr. Boyer is one of many who believe that a radical revision of the school calendar is inevitable.＂School, whether we like it or not, is educational. It always has been.”

His is not popular idea. Schools are routinely burdened with the job of solving all our social problems. Can they be asked to meet the needs of our work and family lives?

It may be easier to promote a longer school year on its educational merits and, indeed, the educational case is compelling. Despite the complaints and studies about our kids’ lack of learning, the United State still has a shorter school year than any industrial nation. In most of Europe, the school year is 220 days. In Japan, it is 240 days long. While classroom time alone doesn’t produce a well-educated child, learning takes time and more learning takes more time. The long summers of

forgetting take a toll.

The opposition to a longer school year comes from families that want to and can provide other experiences for their children. It comes from teachers. It comes from tradition. And surely from kids. But the most important part of the conflict has been over the money.

95. Which of the following is an opinion of the author’s?

A.＂The kids are hanging out.”

B.＂They are school children without school.”

C.＂These kids are not old enough for jobs.”

D.“The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago.”

96. The current American school calendar was developed in the 19th century according to

A.the growing season on nation’s form.

B.the labour demands of the industrial age.

C.teachers’ demands for more vacation time.

D. parents’ demands for other experiences for their kids.

97. The author thinks that the current school calendar

A. is still valid.

B. is out of date.

C.can not be revised.

D.can not be defended.

98. Why was Dr. Boyer’s idea unpopular?

A. He argues for the role of school in solving social problems.

B. He supports the current school calendar.

SECTION A CONVERSATIONS

学和印度一所工程大学有校际联系,于是他去那边工作.

10.正确答案为C).对话最后提到回来之后在Latimer公司工作: I’m working in water

irrigation again. 男士回来后搬到Sheffield所以B错误,他回来后就一直在Latimer公司工作,所以A错误,在Latimer他是项目研发经理,所以D错误.

SECTION B PASSAGES

11.正确答案为C).就自行车安全问题给出的第一个建议是:买到车后,不管是新车还是二手

车,要马上到指定地点去,在车上打上一个序列号. “注册序列号”和”将序列号登记在册”是随后做的事情. D是最后提到的措施.

12.正确答案为A).文中提到如果买的自行车很贵,就需要买两把锁.

一次,每次一小时. 之后提到了周三晚上2小时的writing skills class和两小时的examination skills class.

那儿登记, writing skills class也需要注册.而examination skills class开班前,It is not necessary to enrol before the course starts.

16.正确答案为B).文中明确说到: They concentrate on the writing skills needed for

assignments in the departments of economics and social sciences.

是30岁.

19.正确答案为D).达芬奇搬到佛罗伦萨之后,画了<蒙娜丽莎的微笑>,得知他是一名画家,

后又指出he had been working as an architect and engineer. 所以选D builder是他不曾做过的.

moved to a castle there where he spent his last years.

SECTION C NEWS BROADCASTS

旦河西岸地区4个定居点,一共25个.

China(中国的经济机会,这里opportunity和prospect是一个意思.

26.正确答案为A). 新闻最后指出: 今天的论坛是第十年,也是第三次在中国举办. 所以A正

确,B错误.

27.正确答案为B). 新闻开始就指出香港迪斯尼开业当天的游客数为15000人,其中来自大

陆mainland的游客占了1/3=5000人.所以选B.

28.正确答案为A). 新闻后面分析了各地数据: 超过55%的广东居民对参观主题公园感兴趣,

上海和北京分别是22%和20%. 可见北京居民对参观迪斯尼的兴趣最小. 新闻中没有提到香港人的参观兴趣.

29.正确答案为C). 新闻一开始就说道An Indonesia ferry…sank yesterday. 所以应该是渡船

的灾难. 由此也就特别强调新闻题目的首句非常重要, 且国际新闻通常是以负面消息为主的特色.

30.正确答案为B).新闻中指出:官方指出该船的容量是200名乘客. 500人是失事船上载的

乘客数量,非核定载量,其中包括290名难民refugees和198名船员crew.

PART III CLOZE

31. 正确答案为C).determined. 考核的是伴随状态: 我离开那个班级并决定不再不学无术/决定学有所成. but前后两句话的意思应截然相反. AB选项意思不对A. concerned意思是”关心的,有关的”; B. worried意思是”焦虑的”, D选项应该是deciding.

33. 正确答案为D). obligation. moral obligation是固定搭配,意思是到的职责. duty是职责本分,不以主观条件为转移,而obligation则强调自己自愿承担的责任,通常也是指法律或道德上的责任,句中明确提到moral.

34. 正确答案为B). neither 从下文判断也应该是neither, 且如果选both就无需用could了,直接用both of us knew…即刻,这里为了强调我们两个人都不知道故用neither…could的形式.

35. 正确答案为A). evolve发展, 逐渐形成. 从over the years也可以知道答案,在过去的那些年里,关系逐步形成. 选stay的话,必须跟完成时+一段时间,解释为(关系,感情)维系,持续(了多久).

36. 正确答案为C).development. adolescent development意思是青少年发展. seminars in…在…方面的研讨会(青山年发展,课堂管理,学校领导). process(自然发生的)过程;流程, procedure程序,步骤. movement移动,运动.

37.正确答案为B).name选定,任命=appoint. 用法是name sb (as) sth. e.g. She has just been named (as) the new manager.

38. 正确答案为D).shift转换(性质,方向,关系,情况,位置等抽象名词),alter改变,变更(指衣服等表面或局部做部分变动,而没有变成另一种事物). move和go意思都不对,排除.

39. 正确答案为A ).awkward: 令人尴尬的,不方便的;其词组搭配为be awkward doing sth. uneasy担心的,忧虑的,不安的,通常的搭配是be uneasy about doing sth. unnatural:非自然的,勉强的(强调和自然,正常相反),former以前的,从前的

40. 正确答案为C).former 结合上一句:我觉得担任该部门的主席非常尴尬,因为我之前的那些英语老师都还在任.这里只有C选项贴切.

41. 正确答案为B). still仍然在学校里任职.

42. 正确答案为B). throughout(adv.) 从头到尾,自始至终(较抽象的), all the way一路上,从头到尾(较具体的). e.g. He didn’t speak a word to me all the way back home. 回家的一路上他没对我说过一句话.

The army remained loyal throughout.军队始终保持忠诚.

43. 正确答案为D). about. 常见的”关于,在…方面”的英语表达有如下: about, on, with regard to, concerning, regarding, with reference to, in relation to, as regards, as for/to. 这里是给我一些关于课程,考试等的建议.

44.正确答案为A). chart (v.)详细计划,制订计划;绘制…的图表, chart one’s own course规划某人自己的事业, manage管理(企业或活动), head负责,领导,朝…走去; describe描述,叙述. 这里.只有chart的意思和用法符合题意.

45. 正确答案为A). opinion意见,看法. request请求, permission许可,批准, order命令,指示,订购. 句意: 我需要他就我离开DeMatha去另外一所学校做校长的事给点意见.

46. 正确答案为C). If. if引导的非真实条件状语从句: 如果他当时叫我留在DeMatha的话,或许我会的. even if和though引导让步状语从句,when引导的是时间状语从句,这里都不符合

逻辑关系.

47.正确答案为B). Instead反而,而不是. 就前句的假设做出转折事实陈述:然而,他却鼓励我抓住(去其他学校做校长的)机会. naturally自然地,合乎意料地,意义不符. Consequently因此, 前面没有原因表述. Still仍然.

48. 正确答案为A). Once again. be for sb支持某人. 和前文支持鼓励我去做校长呼应, 5年后,我回到DeMatha做校长,他还是在那儿支持我. unexpectedly出乎意料地,与前文意思有悖. repeatedly再三,多次; usually通常地

49. 正确答案为D).count on=depend on, rely on依靠,指望. count in把…算进,包括; count down倒数,倒计时; count out数出,不包括.

50.正确答案为C). wealth. a wealth of是固定词组,意思是:大量.丰富. stock证券,储备; store 储备,仓库,店铺. 句意是:他让我感到,一个好的老师有无穷无尽的知识财富让我们去学习.

PART IV GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY

51.正确答案为C). as。考核的是as+adj/adv(+n)+as的结构.

52.正确答案为B). remains. 这里All the President’s Men<总统的亲信们>是书名. 谓语动词

用第三人称单数.

53.正确答案为D).can 表示许可/建议,在口语中常用can. 表示给与“许可”通常用can/may

而不用could/might. 这里provided引导条件状语从句,意思等于if/on condition that 54.正确答案为A).If only引导的虚拟语气,解释为”要是…该多好啊!”. 与现在的事实相反

的则if only后接过去式did,和过去事实相反的则接过去完成时had done. 这里是说要是这个病人接受了不同的治疗方式(其实那个时候并没有接受),与过去事实相反用过去完成时. 句意: 如果那个病人不使用抗生素而是采用其他疗法,他现在可能还活着呢. 55.正确答案为B). be to do是固定用法. 由于start the experiment这个动作先于change her

mind,所以用过去完成时be to have done表示在过去的事情对现在的影响.

56.正确答案为D).对过去事情的肯定推测用must have done, 否定推测用couldn’t have

done.

57.正确答案为C). not..so much ..as与其说,不如说,固定用法,历年专四考试中也是重点和难

点. 句意:与其说是语言还不如说是背景让这本书难以理解.

58.正确答案为B). has anticipated现在完成时,意思是已经预料到,不可能多过去发生的事预

料,只能是对未发生的进行预料,所以只能选一般将来时. 句意:委员会已经预料到那些问题将在道路建设方案中提起.

59.正确答案为A).发现难以理解这个动作先于”说”之前发生,故用过去完成时.

60. 正确答案为C).had就是have的过去式了,没有had had to的说法. 且but后面的句子是

单纯叙述过去发生的事情,用一般过去式.

61. 正确答案为B). than后面是省略了it,还原应该是..than it has been put in.

than作为专四语法的重点,考试中出现很多次了.常见的考法有如下两种:

?连词than 引导比较状语从句，有时省去部分谓语，保留了主语和助动词，此时助动词可以移到主语前。如：John drives much more carefully than does his father. (=than his father drives)

?连词than 引导比较状语从句，常省去主语，保留谓语部分，这种结构多见于正式文体中。如：Don’t eat more than is good for you.

62. 正确答案为B). 本题是该年专四考试中语法较难的一题. not more…than的意思是与其

说…倒不如说…这里意思是: 人口过多对人类的威胁还不如对环境的破坏更为严重。A

选项的意思是:人口过多跟环境破坏一样对人类构不成什么威胁。通过这道题,试比较如下两句句子:

John is not better than Tom约翰不如汤姆好。 (但是两人都不错)

John is no better than Tom约翰比汤姆好不了多少。 (两个人都不怎么样)

63.正确答案为D).专四考试中两个常见there用法: for there to be, of there being. (即:有介词

for一律用to be,其他介词用there being)

64.正确答案为B).非限定动词.the situation作为look的逻辑宾语.所以用过去分词,表示一

种条件. C结构用于表示原因较多.

65. 正确答案为C).这里是省略了should的虚拟语气用法.常见考法有It is

essential/imperative/important that sb (should) do sth.

66. 正确答案为C). crude:粗糙的,拙劣的; man-made人造的.人造赝品说法不同

67. 正确答案为A). turn one’s back on sb不理睬某人,拒绝帮助,固定搭配

68. 正确答案为B). for the exclusive use of sb仅供…使用, 固定搭配. extensive广泛的,广阔的;

inclusive从include派生出来,意思是”在内的”;comprehensive综合的,广泛的,理解的

69. 正确答案为D).affordable:支付的起的.不太昂贵的; approachable易接近的;payable应付

的, reachable可达成的,可获得的. 句意:学费对于那些来自低收入家庭的学生来说也是能够支付得起的.

70. 正确答案为B).aftermath:(不幸事件如事故,暴风雨,战争等的)后果,余波.in the aftermath

of…之后; consequence:结果,后果,其词组是in consequence of由于,作为…的结果;

71. 正确答案为A).becomes常见的意思是变为,成为, 殊不知,它还有另外一个少见的意思:

适合(某人),与…相称.<牛津高阶词典—第六版>就有这么一句话:Such behavior did not become her.这种举止与她的身份不相称. fit:适合于,合适(大小,尺寸,形状). 这道题目如果能正确排除BCD也就不难选出A了.

72. 正确答案为B).incidentally顺便说一句,Accidentally意想不到地. Eventually最终地,

naturally自然地

句意: 我现在不得不走了. 顺便说一句,如果你要那本书的话下次我会带来的.

73. 正确答案为D). get round to doing sth腾出时间来做某事,开始做某事. get away with sth侥

幸逃脱, get back at报复, get back返回,取回

74. 正确答案为C). readily快捷地,便利地,无困难地, readily available是固定用法:方便地获得;

promptly敏捷地; instantly立即地,即刻地;

75.正确答案为A). basics:基本因素/原理/原则/规律; basic(adj.)基本的,初步的; element:元素

76. 正确答案为D).rate比例, 强调的是一个数量quantity, ratio是比率,强调的是两者之比,

percentage百分率; proportion部分,份额. 且rate通常和死亡率,出生率,优秀率,及格率,折旧率,贴现率等搭配,而ratio通常的搭配和用法如:男女生比率,老少比率,新旧比率等.

proportion的惯用法是in proportion to合乎比例,匀称协调.

Ratio：指→某物对某物的比值(比例的数值),以数字表示

Rate：指→每计量的单位,有多少量.如每百人有多少人失业,每小时跑多少英里,每天的房Proportion：指→某成分或组成的比例.也可指某物对某物的比例

77. 正确答案为C). spectator(尤指体育比赛的)观看者,观众; audience(戏剧,音乐会或演讲等

的)观众,听众; participant参与者; observer观察者; 这里有stadium体育场/运动场一词, 显然应该选C. come t one’s feet to pay tribute to意思是:对…给予高度赞扬; 从本题也可以看出专四词汇题的趋势是更加强调同近义词之间的细微差别.

78. 正确答案为B). expanse. 很显然，space和land与题目不相符，先排除。只剩下expanse

和stretch了。expanse表示“宽阔的空间/区域，辽阔；广袤”，stretch表示“一片地域，

一个地段，（尤指肢体）伸展，拉长,通常指狭而长的区域”，而判断本题的依据主要看limitless(无垠的),形容"沙漠的宽广"很显然要用“ limitless expanse ”。

79. 正确答案为C).感知,察觉. sense the uneasiness感受到不自在.

80.正确答案为A). smack one's lips是固定用法,意思是: (馋得)舐嘴唇; 垂涎三尺

PART V READING COMPREHENSION

TEXT A

81. 正确答案为C).从第一段Good landladies…slightest opportunity句中的popular是”常见

的,普遍的”的意思,并非说好房东和坏房东都受欢迎. C选项虽未明确给出,但第四句中提到the food will be adequate, some of your laundry may be done之后又提到less fortunate 的时候,知识提到房东给房客设置一些规定. 由此得知,房东应该是可以胜任的.

82. 正确答案为A). 从第二段deciding who pays for what, and in what proportion这里和后面的例子可以看出问题是源于分担和付费上. B选项的living habits文章中没有说到, C和D选项都只是例子中的某个细节.

83. 正确答案为D). 最后一段中ABC三者作为flat sharing的优点都有提及,唯独D没有提及,并且这也是一个跨段选项,出现在第二段最后,作为学生需要安静来学习,所以排除.

TEXT B

84. 正确答案为C).问题问的是作者的评价，第三段和第四段中都有出现评价性的形容词，如：The kindness or curiosity of strangers，hospitality，that element of excitement；第5段只是提到了一些事实，无评价性的形容词。

85. 正确答案为A)。根据第7段“But while hitchhiking was…it was doomed.” （虽然搭便车在一些地方仍然存在和普遍，但基本上人们感觉在西方大部分地方这种现象却不复存在了。）B选项与原文矛盾, C选项过于绝对, D选项不符文章内容,是推测.

86.正确答案为D)。第10段，“Surely this is a good idea for society.” （显然这对社会来说是一个不错的主意。）之后就叙述了它的好处.

87.正确答案为B).根据第10段。“Hitchhiking would increase respec t…politics and sociology.” (搭便车可以打破陌生人之间的障碍；因为搭便车的人使用的是正在使用的燃料，它可以通过减少燃料消耗而帮助解决全球变暖的问题；它还可以通过地理、历史、政治和社会学的快速课程提高教育水平。) ACD选项都是正面提到了,而B选项与breaking down barriers between strangers有失偏颇.

88.正确答案为D)。根据最后一句话：“Either put it to the test yourself, or help out someone who is trying to travel hopefully with thumb outstretched.”（你可以自己尝试，也可以帮助那些想去旅行而满怀希望伸出大拇指的人。）

TEXT C

89.正确答案为B)。根据第3段对她的细节描写。“She moved with the same ease and loveliness …I used to spend hours braiding ribbons into our hair.” 由此可见，作者对她的印象是愉快的。

90. 正确答案为A)。第5段“It is the custom to bargain in Asia. In Laos bargaining is done in soft voices and easy moves with the sort of quiet peacefulness.” （在亚洲，人们有讨价还价的习俗。在老挝，人们讨价还价时总是轻言细语），由此可知，B、C、D是正确的。

91. 正确答案为C). 从第六段she saw that I understood something about the soft playfulness of

bargaining中可以得知woman看出我懂她们那里的交易方式. 也就从侧面说明卖裙子的妇女享受这样的讨价还价过程. 其他选项则明显错误. A选项文章没有提及, B选项明显与作者表述有悖: She was being too generous and wouldn’t make enough money. D选项也未涉及.

92. 正确答案为C).第6段: that way I was able to pay her three times as much before she had a chance to lower the price for the larger purchase.”由此可知，作者因为价格很低，所以想多买几件作为对卖裙子的妇女的一种补偿。

93. 正确答案为A)。第8段：“I have learned to defend myself against what is hard; without knowing it, I ha ve also learned to defend myself against what is soft and what should be easy.”（我学会了抗拒困难，不知不觉中，我也学会了不被温柔和轻松俘获。）由此可知，作者没有哭是因为她已经学会控制自己的情绪不会轻易受到影响，所以选A。C选项的干扰性较强,虽然表述正确,但是由于作者提到市场中的经历是温柔和轻松的感受,而非困难,故排除. 注意题干中的did not because省略的是cry, 完整的题干应该是she wanted to cry, but did not cry because…不少同学对题干意思的产生误解.以至于错选B或D.

94. 正确答案为C). 最后一段：“There is no defense against a generous spirit, and this time I cry…”（对于一颗慷慨的心是无法防备的，所以这次我哭了，…）由此可知我哭是因为被卖丝绸裙子的妇女感动了。

TEXT D

95. 正确答案为A). The kids are hanging out. 作者的观点是现在的孩子上学的时间太短，很多时间都在外闲逛，无所事事。这里的hang out是指在某地逗留，浪费时间。B、C、D是客观事实陈述，并不是作者观点。

96.正确答案为A). 第三段提到：“In rural America…took months off to work the crops. (19世纪的时候，上学时间是根据农时来决定的。现在虽然只有3%的家庭从事农业，但几乎所有的学校的校历安排似乎是让孩子们早早回家去挤牛奶或是花上几个月时间去地里种庄稼.) BC选项未提及, D选项是末段提到的家长反对延长学年的理由,跨段选项排除.

97. 正确答案为B).从第三段末尾的几个句子中,可以看到作者是认为这school calendar是不合时宜的了, Now, only 3 percent of families…waiting for the school bus.

98. 正确答案为D)。从第六段最后一句话可以得出答案D. A和B明显与文章不符。A指的是大众的观点；B选项Dr. Boy是不赞同现有的校历的。C选项与文章相反.

99. 正确答案为C).learning takes time more learning takes more time, the long summer's forgetting take a toll.” take a toll意思是造成损失或有不良的影响。这句话意思是：“学习要时间,更多学习要更多时间,而长时间的暑假会影响(它),会对(它)造成不好影响—即学习时间的减少.

100. 正确答案为C)。整篇文章讨论的是现有的校历安排存在的问题。文章只在前两段描述了孩子们在街头游荡的现象,所以排除A. 第三段简要介绍了现在家庭的需要,是文章的细节内容,故排除. D选项文章没有提到.

参考范文

Is It Wise to Make Friends Online?

Internet, as one of the most important inventions of the twentieth century, has greatly changed our life. Nowadays, more and more young people have many friends online, which, as far as I am concerned, has more benefits than negative efforts.

Firstly, Internet enlarges our circle of friends considerably. No other ways of communication

enable us to makes friends all around the world as easily as Internet does. As long as we can speak English or other foreign languages, we are able to chat with Americans, Japanese as well as European people, and therefore, to broaden our views by exposing ourselves to various cultures and experiences. Apart from that, we tend to be more honest and straightforward when we make online friends than in real life. Since in the cyberspace, we cannot see others’ faces, we do not have to worry about the negative results brought by direct communication. For instance, we are free to air our opinions on some sensitive issues of the society, and share our little secrets with our online friends with ease. In this way, online friendship gives rise to more openness and less stress or pressure at the same time.

While many people argue that making friends online is not stable or even dangerous, I posit that embracing this technological innovation by becoming a true netizen is definitely a wise choice.

April 22, 2007 Dear Jimmy,

Thank you so much for inviting me to join the swimming club. I’d like to but I’m afraid I cannot. To learn tennis has long been my dream and the best tennis teacher will be leaving next year. So this is the last chance for me and I would like very much to seize it.

Best wishes.

2013年英语专四真题及答案解析--汇总 【2013年英语专四真题及答案解析--听写部分参考答案】 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. 【2013年英语专四真题及答案解析--语法部分】 51.

2012年英语专四真题及答案完整版

2012专四听写参考答案 Nowadays, many of us try to live in a way that will damage the environment as little as possible. We recycle our newspapers and bottles, we take public transport to get to work, we try to buy locally produced fruit and vegetables，and we want to take these attitudes on holiday with us. This is why alternative forms of tourism are becoming popular in the world. There are a lot of names for these new forms of tourism: responsible tourism, nature tourism, adventure tourism, educational tourism and more. Although everyone may have a different definition, most people agree that these new forms of tourism should do the following: first, they should conserve the wildlife and culture of the area; second, they should benefit the local people; third, they should make a profit without destroying natural resources; and finally they should provide an experience that tourists want to pay for. 2012专四听力参考答案

英语专业四级考试词汇语法真题及解析

2016年英语专业四级考试词汇语法真题 参考答案与解析 11. How can I concentrate if you _________ continually ______ me with silly questions? A. have… interrupted B. are… interrupted C. had… interrupting D. were… interrupting 选A。虽然我觉得更应该说you are continually interrupting me with silly questions。不过这里用现在完成时表示的是一个动作发生过成为过去经历，有可能多次发生，也就是打断一次、两次、三次等等不断重复到现在。 12. Among the four sentences below, Sentence ___ expresses the highest degree of possibility? A. It may take a long time to find a solution to the problem. B. It might take a long time to find a solution to the problem. C. It could take a long time to find a solution to the problem. D. It should take a long time to find a solution to the problem. 选D。四个里把握度最高的是should，其次是may，最后是might和could。 13. She is a better speaker than _____ in the class. A. any boy B. the other boys C. other any girl D. all the girls 选A。主语是she，女的，所以不能选B。C的正确说法是any other girl。 14. Nobody heard him sing, ______? A. did one B. did he C. didn’t they D. did they 选B。根据专四语法出题依据的书《新编英语语法教程》（章振邦）317页，nobody这种附加疑问句，书面语里用he。口语里偶见they。实际上，现代英语里为了避免有语言歧视（为什么只有he，没有she），很多人都避免只用he，而多改为they。 15. I can’t put up with ________. A. that friend of you B. that friend of yours C. the friend of you D. the friend of yours 选B。根据专四语法出题依据的书《新编英语语法教程》（章振邦）57-58页，这种双重属格结构所修饰的名词可带a, any, some等表示非确定特指的限定词，但通常不带定冠词。比如a daughter of Mrs. Green’s, any/some daughters of Mrs/ Green’s。 16. There has been an increasing number of _______ in primary schools in the past few years. A. man teacher B. men teacher C. man teachers D. men teachers 选D。合成名词复数，man/woman这种，两种都要变成复数，比如women drivers。

2000 年-2011 年专八短文改错试题，参考答案以及答案分析 By 兰银清 以下答案以上外教师给出的答案为参考答案 2011年专八真题改错部分 From a very early age, perhaps the age of five or six, I knew that when I grew I should be a writer. Between the ages of about 1__________ seventeen and twenty-four I tried to abandon this idea, but I did so with the conscience that I was outraging my true nature and that 2___________ soon or later I should have to settle down and write books. 3___________ I was the child of three, but there was a gap of five years 4__________ on either side, and I barely saw my father before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely, and I soon developed disagreeing mannerisms which made me unpopular throughout my 5_____________ schooldays. I had the lonely child's habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginative persons, and I think from 6_________ the very start my literal ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of 7________ being isolated and undervalued. I knew that I had a facility with words and a power of facing in unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created 8________ a sort of private world which I could get my own back for my failure 9________ in everyday life. Therefore, the volume of serious — i.e. seriously 10________ intended — writing which I produced all through my childhood and boyhood would not amount to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation. 1，在grow后加up, 考固定短语 2，改consience为consciousness 考词语区别，consience 翻译为“良心，道德心”, consiousness翻译为“意识” 3，改soon为sooner，sooner or later是固定短语 4，在child前加middle, 考上下文理解。作者是三个孩子句中的那位 5改disagreeing 为disagreeable ，disagreeing只能作动名词，不能作形容词。disagreeable mannernisms 令人讨厌的习惯 6，改imaginative为imaginary, 考词语区别imaginative 翻译为“有想象力的”，imaginary翻译为“想象的，虚构的”7，改literal 为literary , 考词义区别，literal翻译为“字面的”，literary 翻译为“文学方面的” 8，去掉face后的in，face接宾语时是及物动词。考动词的基本用法 9，在world后加in或者改which为where, 考定语从句10，改Therefore为However或者Nevertheness, 考语境。 2010年专八真题改错部分 So far as we can tell, all human languages are equally complete and perfect as instruments of communication: that is, every language appears to be well equipped as any other to say 1________________ the things their speakers want to say. 2________________ There may or may not be appropriate to talk about primitive 3________________ peoples or cultures, but that is another matter. Certainly, not all groups of people are equally competent in nuclear physics or psychology or the cultivation of rice . Whereas this is not the 4_____________ fault of their language. The Eskimos , it is said, can speak about snow with further more precision and subtlety than we can in 5______________ English, but this is not because the Eskimo language (one of those sometimes miscalled 'primitive') is inherently more precise and

People are just not doing it anymore, especially the young. Who?s responsible? Actually, it?s more like, What is responsible? The Internet, of course, and everything that comes with it —Facebook, Twitter (微博). You can write your own list. There?s been a warning about the imminent death of literate civilization for a long time. In the 20th century, first it was the movies, then radio, then television that seemed to spell doom for the written world. None did. Reading survived; in fact it not only survived, it has flourished. The world is more literate than ever before —there are more and more readers, and more and more books. The fact that we often get our reading material online today is not something we should worry over. The electronic and digital revolution of the last two decades has arguably shown the way forward for reading and for writing. Take the arrival of e-book readers as an example. Devices like Kindle make reading more convenient and are a lot more environmentally friendly than the traditional paper book.
