全文首句：在美国，进行有组织的体育运动是一个如此普通的经历，以致于许多青少年都轻视他们了。
67. A) among B) within C) on D) towards
68. A) spread B) speed C) spur D) sponsor
69. A) access B) entrance C) chance D) route
三题在一个句子中，读完整句再做题。题目通常从后往前做。
这一点是特别真实的67孩子们，他们来自于拥有进行组织和68运动项目所需的资源，确保有容易的69参与机会的家庭和社区。
这个句子相对复杂，应该首先进行成分的划分，67题考介词，故67和children都应属于主句中的成分，作状语，communities之后的that引导定语从句，and make sure与前面的have是并列关系。
69题，搭配题，考察动词介词搭配，正确答案access to，这是在05年12月的真题中曾经考察过的搭配，意思是使用。
68题，理解题，通过and得知，68应与organize并列，又因前文提到resources（资源），后方提到programs（项目），结合选项：spread（传播，扩散），speed（加速），spur （马刺），sponsor（赞助），D项符合。
67题，考察介词，分别代入后，A项符合。
70. A) little B) less C) more D) much
71. A) shrink B) tighten C) limit D) lack
72. A) bill B) accounts C) fees D) fare
73. A) so B) as C) and D) but
74. A) maintain B) contain C) sustain D) entertain
五题在一个句子中，读完整句再做题，从后向前。
在低收入家庭和贫穷社区的孩子们70可能轻视有组织的运动，因为他们通常71所需要资源，这些资源将用于支付参与72，设备和交通以参加实践和游戏73他们的社区不具备建造和74运动场地和器械的资源。
目前为止，此句是历年考题当中包含题目最多的句子，请大家耐心。
74题，辨析题，四个词均为-tain的词根变化，其中maintain（维护），contain（包含），
sustain（承受），entertain（娱乐），结合原文中and的提示，74应与build有并列的关系，故答案为A项。
73题，连词题，上过课的同学应该非常熟悉这个句子，小技巧可以解决，73之前because 之后，主语they，谓语未知，宾语resources，73之后，主语their communities，谓语do not have，宾语resources，说明什么？经过前后对比，发现两句的结构一致，于是小技巧可用，答案为C项。
72题，辨析题，考察关于“钱”的说法，四个选项分别为：bill（账单），accounts（账户，账号），fees（费用），fare（交通费），正确选项C。
71题，辨析题，考察关于“缺少”的说法，四个选项分别为：shrink（收缩），tighten （勒紧），limit（限制），lack（缺少），又结合做73题时用到的小技巧，71要与73之后所表达的意思相同，do not have，于是正确答案为D项。
70题，理解题，虽然本题所在句子与上一句没有连词进行连接，然而从内容上看，两句话有明显的对比关系，于是得出两句意思截然相反，故此题应选体现否定含义的选项，结合语法要求，正确选项为B项。
75. A) last B) first C) later D) finally
本句意思：20世纪早期，在美国和其它富有的国家75出现了有组织的运动。
75题，理解题，由后文的early得知，此处意在表明时间较早，故B项符合题意。
76. A) before B) while C) until D) when
77. A) realized B) recalled C) expected D) exhibited
78. A) specifically B) excessively C) strongly D) exactly
三题在一句，读完整句再从后向前做题。
本句意思：他们最初被开发76一些教育者和发展上的专家77孩子们的社会环境和每日经历会78影响他们的行为和品格。
78题，理解题，考察副词含义，线索在下一句，you could influence the kinds of adults that those children would become，能影响孩子们成年之后的类型，由此可见，这种影响
是非常强烈的，故正确选项为C项。其它选项：specifically（特定地），excessively（过分地），exactly（精确地）。
77题，理解题，考察动词含义，此时看主语和宾语，主语是教育者和专家，宾语为从句，而从句是一种观点。选项意思：realized（意识到），recalled（回想起，说明以前也知道，现在又想起，不成立），expected（期望），exhibited（展现），选项A符合此处的意思。
76题，连词题，考察时间连词，结合76前后的时态，正确选项D项。
79. A) moved B) conducted C) put D) led
80. A) precise B) precious C) particular D) peculiar
两题在一句，读完整句从后向前做题。
本句意思：这79许多人去相信，如果你能用80方式去组织孩子们的经历，你就有可能影响到他们长大成人之后的类型。
80题，辨析题，考察形容词的含义，四个选项的意思分别是：precise（精确的），precious （珍贵的），particular（特定的），peculiar（奇怪的）。这里也有一些小技巧，上过课的童鞋能一下看出答案：）分别代入到文章，可以形容方式且符合句意的为选项C。
79题，搭配题，考察动词和介词的搭配，与后文的to有搭配关系且符合句意的是选项D。
81. A) engagement B) environment C) state D) status
82. A) encouraging B) disappointing C) upsetting D) surprising
83. A) for B) with C) over D) at
三题在一句，读完整句再从后向前做题。
本句意思：社会81影响一个人的整体发展的想法对于一些人是非常82的，那些人83二十世纪初期，美国，对进步和改革有很大兴趣。
这个句子略有些乱，但是不影响解题。
83题，搭配题，考察关于时间的表达方法，正确选项为D项。虽然我说过介词的入选频
率问题，但是我也说过这只是大概率的情况，大家不要太放在心上，本题考察的较为简单，相信大家没有问题。
82题，理解题，线索不在本句中，因为看不出来这些人到底是怎么想的……因为本句是本段的首句，看完后面的内容自然会有线索。暂时不解。
81题，理解题，本句说法在上一段有复现，于是找到social surroundings，在选项中与之相对应的是B项。
84. A) what B) how C) whatever D) however
85. A) multiply B) manufacture C) produce D) provide
两题在一句，读完整句再从后向前做题。
本句意思：它导致他们认为84他们能控制孩子们的经历去85有责任感的和有能力的成年人。
85题，辨析题，考察关于“制造”的说法，四个选项的意思：multiply（繁殖），manufacture（工业制造），produce（生产，制造），provide（提供）。此处说的是制造出成年人，只有C项符合。
84题，连词题，考察从句，看84之后的从句是否缺少成份，常设考点，由于后面不缺成份，故正确选项为B项。
86. A) growing B) breeding C) raising D) flying
本句意思：他们强烈认为民主取决于责任感，并且一个86资本主义经济依赖工厂的能力。
86题，辨析题，四个选项都有“上升，成长”的意思，具体来看：growing（增长的），breeding（教养），raising（上升的），flying（飞行的），符合句意的为A项。
回看82题，由于这使得他们产生了一系列的想法，那在82题处应该体现出这一点，于是只能在encouraging和surprising当中选择，另外两个都是相反的含义。本句后面又讲到了兴趣，故选A. encouraging

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For question 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Colleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid Good grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid. But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars. George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago. Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008. Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willing to pay whatever they must for a big-name school. For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running. But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,”says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum. Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it. “As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,”says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Repor t’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17.

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

2008年12月英语四级考试写作真题与参考范文 Part I Writing (30 minutes) A卷 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minute to write a short essay on the topic of limiting the use of disposable plastic bags. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given bellow: 1.一次性塑料袋曾被广泛的使用 2.造成的问题 3.限制使用的意义 Limiting The Use of Disposable Plastic Bags 范文一 Limiting The Use of Disposable Plastic Bags Disposable plastic bags were once widely used in China. When we went shopping at supermarkets and departments stores, shopping assistants often provided free plastic bags for our convenience. For a while, life without them seemed unimaginable for most of us. However, disposable plastic bags do bring severe damage to our environment. Costumers usually threw them away after use, and because they are thin and hard to decompose, these plastic products will exist for a long time. This is an immediate threat to our earth and water. Nowadays, the government has passed relevant regulations for limiting the use of disposable plastic bags: they are not free any more. In some shopping places, in order to invoke the public awareness of environmental protection, plastic bags are offered in a much higher price. As a result, people are changing their behavior: paper and clothing bags that vanished for a long time come back to our daily life. It is true that by limiting its usage, everyone in this society contributes some effort to the improvement of the environment. (175 words)

卷一家庭观念 中国的家庭观念与其文化传统有关。和睦的大家庭曾非常令人羡慕。过去四代同堂并不少见。由于这个传统，许多年轻人婚后继续与父母同住。今天，这个传统正在改变。随着住房条件的改善，越来越多年轻夫妇选择与父母分开住。但他们之间的联系仍然很密切。许多老年人仍然帮着照看孙辈。年轻夫妇也抽时间探望父母，特别是在春节和中秋节等重要节日。 Family values in China are related to its cultural traditions. A big harmonious family used to be quite enviable to many. In the past, it was not uncommon to see a family of four generations living under one roof. And because of that, many young people continued to stay with their parents after marriage. Today, this tradition is changing. As housing conditions improve, more and more young couples choose to live separately from their parents, but the connection between them remains close. Many seniors still help look after their grandchildren and young couples also take time to visit their parents, especially during important festivals such as the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. 1.四世同堂
