Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.

Perhaps like most Americans you have some extra pounds to 47 . You may even have tried a fad diet or two, but found yourself right back where you started. The key to weight loss is regular 48 activity. And surprisingly, you don't have to give up eating or make the gym your second home to see long-term, 49 effects.

You body needs a certain amount of energy to maintain basic 50 such as breathing, blood circulation and digestion. The energy required to keep your organs functioning is referred to as the resting or basal metabolic rate.

Any time you are active, 51 energy is required. It is obtained from glycogen and fat stored in the blood, liver, and muscles. The key to losing weight is to draw on the fat rather than on the carbohydrate reserves.

Which of the two energy sources you use depends on the intensity and 52 of your activity. The higher the intensity, the more your body will pull from the stored carbohydrates. The lower the intensity, the more your body will 53 on fat as its fuel.

Aerobic exercise is most 54 for weight loss. When you perform aerobic activities you 55 contract large muscle groups such as your legs and arms. Walking, running, rollerblading, swimming, dancing, and jumping jacks are all forms of aerobic activity.

Surprisingly, if your aerobic activity is low to moderately intense and of long duration, you will burn more fat than if you had 56 in a short burst of high-intensity exercise. In short, a brisk 30-minute walk will burn fat while a 100-yard sprint will burn glycogen.

Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other 52 and can be hard or soft. and able to change shape. Overtime it can also break down into the soil without giving out any toxic 53 . British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it 54 nitrates(硝酸盐). These feed the seed and help the flower grow.

Engineers have designed a small 55 window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away.

原文精译

近年来，越来越多的外国人参与了美国的教学项目。当然，在教学中使用外国教职员工既有优点，又有缺点，这必须予以考虑。可以这样说，国外背景使外国教职员工具有价值的同时，也给学校和个人的调整带来一些问题。外国学者通常把自己孤立在实验室中，以此作为一种保护;然而，他所需要的是把自己融入一个具有高度组织的大学体系中，这种体系与其国家的体系截然不同。在日常工作中，他要面对哲学、课程安排和教学方法上的差异。访问教授和他的学生在各自的文化方面都缺乏一种共同点，所以外国教授需要明白美国学生已经了解了那些概念。在帮助外国教授使其适应新环境的同时，学校也必须作出某些调整，以充分发挥新人的优势。如何创造性地利用外国教职教员并不总为人所知，特别是在一些较小的学校

中。这被认为是需要进一步研究的领域，其研究成果将对拥有外国教职员工的学院和大学产生重大的价值。

47. 【答案】H)

49. 【答案】F)

【解析】选create。create意思是“产生，制造”。国外的教师资源也会产生些问题。

50. 【答案】L)

51. 【答案】O)

【答案】选that。他必须适应管理严密的大学体系，而这一点是与他国内的大学体系大不相同的。that 是指代大学体系。

52. 【答案】K)

【解析】选lack。所有外来教授和他的学生都缺乏文化共同性。

53. 【答案】G)

【解析】选required。外来教授需要接受美国学生头脑里已存在的那些概念。

54. 【答案】J)

【解析】选make。“做些调整”用动词make。大学必须做出适当的调整。

55. 【答案】E)

【解析】选offer。offer意思是“提供，供应”。

第四篇关于摇滚

Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.

Rock and roll is a genre of popular music that evolved in the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Its 47 lie mainly in blues, rhythm and blues, country, folk, gospel, and jazz. The style subsequently spread to the rest of the world and developed further, leading ultimately to 48 rock music.

The term “rock and roll”now covers at least two different meanings, both in common usage. The American Heritage Dictionary and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary both 49 rock and roll as synonymous with rock music.

50 , https://www.wendangku.net/doc/b84306688.html, defines the term as referring specifically to the music of the 1950s.

Classic rock and roll is 51 played with one or two electric guitars, a string bass or an electric bass guitar, and a drum kit. In the 52 rock and roll styles of the late 1940s, either the piano or saxophone was often the lead instrument, but these were generally 53 or supplemented by the guitar in the middle to late 1950s.

The massive popularity and eventual worldwide view of rock and roll gave it a 54 social impact. Far beyond simply a musical style, rock and roll, as seen in movies and in the new medium of television, 55 lifestyles, fashion, attitudes, and language. It went on to spawn various sub-genres, often without the initially 56 backbeat, that are now more commonly called simply “rock music”or “rock”.

A) define I) followed

B) characteristic J) modern

C) unique K) explanation

D) roots L) Conversely

E) usually M) replaced

F) Basically N) prepare

G) earliest O) seldom

H) influenced

Section A

47. D)。此处需要一个名词。此处讲的是摇滚主要植根于布鲁斯、节奏布鲁斯、乡村音乐、民歌、福音歌以及爵士乐。

48. J)。此处需要一个形容词。参见上题解析可知，摇滚最终发展为现代的摇滚音乐。

49. A)。此处需要一个动词。根据前面出现的两个词典给出的解释及后面的内容可以推断，这里是对摇滚进行定义。

50. L)。此处需要一个副词。根据上下文可知，https://www.wendangku.net/doc/b84306688.html,与前两个词典的定义不同，它将摇滚定义为20世纪50年代的音乐而不是现代音乐。

51. E)。此处需要一个副词。根据上下文可知，古典摇滚乐通常由如下乐器合奏：一两把电吉他;一个弦贝司或电贝司;一组架子鼓。

52. G)。此处需要一个形容词。根据下文出现的1940s这个时间可知，这里讲的是20世纪40年代末期出现的最早的摇滚风格。

53. M)。此处需要一个动词。根据下文“or supplemented by the guitar”可知，钢琴与萨克斯风这些早期主打乐器被20世纪50年代中后期的吉他所取代或补充。

54. C)。此处需要一个形容词。根据上下文可知，摇滚对社会产生的影响是独特的。

55. H)。此处需要一个动词。此处讲的是，除了音乐风格，在电影及电视媒体里均可见摇滚对生活风格、流行、态度及语言的影响。

56. B)。此处需要一个形容词。此处讲摇滚继续发展成各种不同的类型，一般都没有摇滚乐初期特有的强节奏基调。

第五篇关于美国的专利体系

Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.

The American patent system, provided for in the Constitution, was designed to encourage the creation and use of new technology. An inventor would describe the invention, both in writing and with drawings, and __47__ the description with a model to a government official. If the invention was judged to be ___48__ and beneficial, the official would give the inventor a patent. The patent meant that for 14 years the inventor owned the new invention. Inventors could ___49__ their ideas to manufacturers or just use them themselves. The government would not ___50__ any other patent for the same idea, and the inventor could ___51__ anyone of using the patented idea with- out paying the owner of the patent for ___52__ to use it.

A useful patent meant that the inventor could make a lot of money. In exchange for this gover- nmental protection, the government published the patent __53___ , which had to provide enough information so that other people could understand the invention—thus adding to the general__54_technological knowledge. And at the end of the 14 years, anyone could use the

invention for__55__.The idea behind the patent system was twofold: it would increase the amount of technology, by providing a way for people to make money out of new ideas, and it would make new technology widely available, by publicizing ideas that might ___56__ be kept as trade secrets.

A) license I ) specifications

B) however J ) yield

C) accuse K) issue

D) submit L) charge

E) convenient M) availabe

F) permission N) otherwise

G) enable O) original

H) free

47.D 此处需要一个动词。本句叙述申请专利的程序：申请人申请专利时需要对发明进行具体描述，然后将描述和样品一同提交政府官员，故填submit一词。

48.O 此处需要填入一个形容词和beneficial并列作表语。此句介绍政府官员签发专利的条件是原创性和有

用性，故填original。

49.A 空格前为情态动词could，所以此处需要填入一个动词原形。此处和or后面的use them themselves意

义上是对应的。根据常识，申请人获得专利后，专利当然可以自己使用，也可以转让给其他人，故填license “许可，特许”。

50.K 此处需要填入一个动词原形。政府为一项发明签发专利后，当然不能再为同样的创意签发专利，故填

issue“签发，发行”。

51.C 空格前为情态动词could，所以此处需要填入一个动词原形和后面的介词of 搭配使用。句子用

without 引导条件——如果没有支付费并获准使用就擅自使用该专利，因为专利受法律保护，发明人有权对其进行起诉。accuse和charge都有“控告，控诉”的意思，但是用法不同，分别为accuse sb. of sth.和charge sb. with sth. ,故排除charge。52.F 此处需要填入一个名词作介词for 的宾语。

使用专利的人要向专利发明人支付费用，获得使用权后才能取得专利的使用权。故填permission“许可”。

53.I 此处需要一个名词。对于专利，政府一方面实施保护政策，另一方面，为了让大众了解专利的相关知

识，政府会出版专利的详细说明，所以填specifications“说明书”。

54.M 此处需要一个形容词，修饰其后的名词knowledge。政府出版专利详细说明的目的是让大众能够了解

发明，所以填available“可利用的”。

55.H 上一段中提到美国政府在专利申诉的14年内进行保护，在这14年申报人拥有专利的所有权，超过14年，任何人都可以免费使用该专利。此处考查固定短语 for fre“免费的”。

56.N 句子主谓结构完整，空格处可以填入一个副词。publicizing ideas和定语从句中的be kept as trade secrets 之间是对比关系，因此需要填入一个表示转折意义的副词 otherwise。otherwise 和 however 都可以表示引导意义的转折，但however常用插入语，其前后需要加逗号，而otherwise 不需要。

第六篇关于孕妇饮食

Questions 11 to 20 are based on the following passage.

A pioneering study into the effects of a mother’s fat intake during pregnancy on her child’s health when he or she grows up is being launched at the University of Southampton.

Although the link between high fat diets and high blood pressure is well known, there has been 13 research into the connection between a woman’s diet and her child’s risk of hypertension (高血压).

The study, which is 14 by the British Heart Foundation, is led by Dr Graham Burdge, British Heart Foundation Professor of Cardiovascular Science.

The award of this 15 grant is part of a ￡3.5 million boost for heart research in the UK by the British Heart Foundation. The charity’s special grants are made to fund research into the causes, prevention, 16 and treatment of heart disease, the UK’s biggest killer.

Dr Burdge says, “The type and amount of fat in our diet has 17 during the past 50 years. Pregnant women 18 the same diet as the rest of us, but we know very little about the 19 of these changes in dietary (饮食的) fat on the development and future health of their children. We hope that the 20 of this study will help to develop recommendations for pregnant women about how much fat they should eat and what types of fat they should avoid.”

A) funded I) consume

B) diagnosis J) covering

C) including K) influences

D) founded L) notorious

E) changed M) effects

F) enough N) affects

G) findings O) prestigious

H) limited

Section A

11. K)。此处讲孕妇摄入的脂肪量和种类是否对心脏病的患病率有影响。

12. C)。此处讲研究还包括孕妇摄入的脂肪量和种类同高血压患病率之间的关系。

13. H)。此处讲尽管人们熟知高脂肪饮食与高血压之间有必然的联系，但是对于母亲饮食习惯与她的孩子患高血压的风险之间的相关研究却比较少。

14. A)。此处讲该项研究是由英国心脏病基金会资助的。

15. O)。prestigious的意思是“著名的，有声望的”。此处讲这项很有名的基金是英国心脏病基金会为加大对心脏病研究而投入的资金的一部分。

16. B)。此处讲这部分慈善基金用于针对心脏病的起因、预防、诊断与治疗方面的研究工作。

17. E)。此处需要动词的过去分词，A)和H)已经选过，只剩余D)和E)，而此处讲的是我们饮食中的脂肪的种类和数量在过去的50年里已经发生变化。D)项的意思是“建立”，与句意不符。

18. I)。此处讲孕妇和我们饮食相同，consume的意思是“消耗”，符合文意。

19. M)。此处讲虽然孕妇和我们饮食相同，但是我们对孕妇饮食中脂肪的改变对其孩子未来健康和发育的影响知之甚少。此处是指饮食中脂肪改变所起的作用。要用名词形式effect;affect是动词。

20. G)。此处是说研究结果可以帮助我们为孕妇提一些建议，该摄入多少脂肪以及什么样的脂肪应该避免摄入。

第七篇关于新型眼镜

Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.

It seems you always forget—your reading glasses when you are rushing to work, your coat when you are going to the cleaners, your credit card when you are shopping...

Such absent-mindedness may be 47 to you; now British and German scientists are developing memory glasses that record everything the 48 sees.

The glasses can play back memories later to help the wearer remember things they have forgotten such as where they left their keys. And the glasses also 49 the user to "label" items so that information can be used later on. The wearer could walk around an office or a factory identifying certain 50 by pointing at them. Objects indicated are then given a 51 label on a screen inside the glasses that the user then fills in.

It could be used in 52 plants by mechanics looking to identify machine parts or by electricians wiring a 53 device.

A spokesman for the project said: "A car mechanic for 54 could find at a glance where a part on a certain car model is so that it can be identified and repaired. For the motorist the system could 55 accident black spots or dangers on the road."

In other cases the glasses could be worn by people going on a guided tour, 56 points of interest or by people looking at panoramas where all the sites could be identified.

[A] allow [B] instance [C] blank [D]industrial [E]frustrating [F] items [G]indicating [H]highlight [I] user [J]complicated [K] white [L]annoying [M]successful [N] articles [O] simple

Section A

47. E 空格处需填一形容词，即从E、J、L、M中选择。过去分词一般用于主语是人的句子，排除J;结合常理，忘性大常常令人懊恼，故E最符合文章。

48. I 根据定语从句谓语see可知，主语要么是人要么是眼镜，由下句the use的提示，故选I。

49. A 该空需填入一个动词，即从备选项A、H中选择，有allow sb. to do sth.的结构，且语义符合文意，故选A。

50. F 由上文的label items可推知F最符合文意。

52. D 由该句中的相关信息词mechanics(机械师)和identify machine parts可推知D最符合文意。

53. J 该空需填入一个形容词修饰名词device(设备)，由常识可知工厂里的设备通常都很复杂，正因为复杂，不容易记住，才有必要使用这种新型眼镜，故J最符合文意。

54. B 该句主句的基本句子结构是A car mechanic could find where a part is，介词for和应填的词在句中作插入万分，结合选项，B最符合文意。

55. H 该空应填入动词原形，从词义上能排出A，H符合文意。

56. G 分析句子结构可知，该空应填入一个非谓语动词，结合句意“在其他情况下，人们可以戴着这种眼镜随团旅游，________名胜景点…”可知，G(指示)最符合文意。

第八篇关于表现自己

Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.

Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated ____47 ___? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date.

Many people are afraid to assert(表现)themselves. Dr. Alberti thinks it's because their

self-respect is low. "Our whole ____48 ___ is designed to make people distrust themselves," says Alberti. "There's always '____49 ___' around-a parent, a teacher, a boss-who 'knows better'.

These superiors often gain when they chip(削弱) away at your self-image."

But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people ____50 ___ themselves. They ____51 ___ "assertiveness training" courses-At for short. In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be more ____52 ___ without hurting other people.

In one way. learning to speak out is to ____53 ___ fear. A group taking a course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger ____54 ___-the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.

Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image. If someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to ____55 ___ your own good sense.

You go by the other person's ____56___ . But, why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.

[A] doubt [I] peace

[B] active [J] demand

[C] system [K] ask

[D] offer [L] superior

[E] unfairly [M] overcome

[F] unfortunately [N] confidence

[G] motive [O] roar

[H] image

47. E 结合句意“当别人对你________时，你是否曾经不敢反驳?”在备选项的副词中，E(不公平地)最符合文章。

48. C 结合句意“我们整个________的目的就是让人们怀疑自己…”，再根据备选项中的名词释义，C最符合文章。且文章的下两句都是对这一system的解释。

49. L 下文提到的These superiors即指空格所缺内容，故L正确。

50. H 该空应填入动词原形。由上文提到的Many people are afraid to assert themselves 和下文提到的"assertiveness training" courses可推知，H最符合文意。

51. D 结合句意“他们(科学家)________‘自信训练’课程”来看选项，D最符合文意。

52. B 上文和空格所在句都提到通过学习课程能给人们带来很多益处，由此推测该空应填入一个含积极之意的形容词，故B(活跃的)符合文章。

53. M 结合句意“在某种程度上，学会大声说出来的目的就是________恐惧心理”可知，M(战胜)最符合句意。

54. G 结合句意“但AT采用一个更为强大的________，即互相分享的需要”来看选项，G(动机)最符合文意。

55. A 结合常理和上文提到的If someone you face is more"important"than you, you may feel less of a person可推知，此时人很容易怀疑自我，故A符合文意。

56. J 该空应填入名词，结构句意“你依照别人的________行事”和下文对此的否定可推知，J最符合文意。

新英语四级改革选词填空(2)

When we think of green buildings, we tend to think of new ones-the kind of high-tech, solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines. But the US has more than 100 million existing homes, and it would be __1__ wasteful to tear them all down and __2__ them with greener versions. An enormous amount of energy and resources went into the construction of those houses. And it would take an average of 65 years for the __3__ carbon emissions from a new energy-efficient home to make up for the resources lost by destroying an old one. So in the broadest __4__, the greenest home is the one that has already been built. But at the same time, nearly half of US carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and __5__ our homes, offices and other buildings. "You can't deal with climate change without dealing with existing building," says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust. With some __6__, the oldest homes tend to be the least energy-efficient. Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000, mainly due to the tiny cracks and gaps that __7__ over time and let in more outside air. Fortunately, there are a __8__ number of relatively simple changes that can green older homes, from __9__ ones like Lincoln's Cottage to your own postwar home. And efficiency upgrades (升级) can save more than just the earth; they can help __10__ property owners from rising power costs.

选词填空答题方法(附四级常用后缀)

选词填空特点： 1. 近义词辨析不多， 2. 固定搭配不多 3. 词性辨析比较容易 选词填空难点： 1. 词性可能会变。 2. 错一题，可能会错两题。 选词填空与完型填空的异同： 相同点：都要上下文做题 不同点：选词填空要先判断词性，而完型填空不用判断词性，4个待选项词性基本一致。 解题步骤 1）阅读选项，词性分类 仍然要“先题后文在定位”，但这里“先题”不是要找关键词，而是要先对15个选项“辨性” 仔细阅读选项，根据词性把每个单词进行分类归纳。如名词、动词、形容词、副词、介词、连词各有几个选项。动词归类要细分为v，ved, ving。因为一个空可以填动词，但填原形还是过去式还是ing形式要自己根据语法判断。 2）细读首句，抓住中心 首先要抓住文章首句，迅速找到文章的主题词或主题。和完型填空一样，一般文章第一句不设空格，以便让读者知道本文的相关主题词或主题。 3）瞻前顾后，谨慎选择 根据文章前后的语法关系判断应填入的词性，大大缩小选择范围。当一个空可以填入好几个相同词性的词时，则根据上下文逻辑意义；如果均能说得通时，要注意近义辨析。或留到最

后，等范围缩小到最小时再轻松收尾。即传统阅读所说的，首遍不行无所谓，文章看完再收尾。 解题技巧 1）首先要辨性（辨别词性） a. 不认识的单词看词缀（见后面附表） b. 认识的单词要注意词性的单一性和多样性 比如：must，most均可做名词do the most you can c. 动词归类要细分为v，ved, ving。因为一个空可以填动词，但填原形还是过去式还是ing 形式要自己根据语法判断。甚至动词分词形式还可以做定语。 2）一个单词有多个词性时，要在不同分类中都标出。 3）如果选项中出现一组近义词或反义词时，往往有一个是干扰选项，它注重考察的是词汇的精确理解，要求考生分析清楚其细微的区别。 4）如何判断原文空缺处所需单词的词性： ①动词： a）前后都是名词短语，中间一般为动词（时态看前后文）。 b) 一个句子有且只有一个谓语动词 c）一个完整的句子之后再跟逗号，后面一般是非谓语动词短语。 ②名词： a. 名词主要做主语、宾语。
