Part ⅣReading Comprehension(Reading in Depth)
Section A
文章精要
丹麦科学家研究发现，具有娃娃脸的人更有可能长寿。科学家发现在真核生物染色体线性DNA分子的末端有个像帽子状的结构，叫做端粒，端粒的长度是决定衰老的一个因素，端粒越长，越有可能长寿，而具有娃娃脸的人的端粒就相对较长。
47．J分析句子结构可知，空处所在句是says的宾语从句，而从句主谓宾结构齐全，故可判断空处要填副词，修饰looking youn9，结合选项只有mentally 和apparently符合，再根据上下文“娃娃脸的人有另一个理由自鸣得意了，丹麦科学家研究表明，________长的年轻的人意味着长寿”，apparently(然地)对应了前文的baby-faced，故选J。
48．O分析句子结构判断空处作句子的谓语，再根据In 2001可以判断，时态应为过去时。原句意为“在2001年，丹麦研究家对1800对年龄超过70岁的双胞胎________身体和认知测试”，由此可知空处应填含有“做，实施，安排”等含义的动词，conduct意为“实施，组织”，故选O。
49．G分析句子结构，空格处是句子的谓语，故应填动词过去式。此句的主语是The researchers，结合选项可知只有track符合题意，意为“跟踪”，故选G。
50．L分析句子结构可知，空处作从句的谓语。由上下文“________超过七年”可知，只有“存活超过七年”符合逻辑，survive意为“幸免于，幸存”，故选L。
51．A分析句子结构，空处要填形容词修饰age。原句意为“专家发现看起来比他们_________年龄年轻的人更可能存活”，由此可知actual age(实际年龄)符合句意，故选A。
52．E分析句子结构，空处是时间状语从句的谓语。原句意为“专家发现那些比自己实际年龄年轻的人更可能存活，即使他们因为其他因素_________之后”，由此可知此空应填adjust，意为“调整”，故选E。
53．C分析句子结构可知，空处需要形容词，修饰age。原句意为“双胞胎________年龄差距越大，越有可能长的老的人先死”，perceived意为“可感知的”，perceived age可以理解为“实际的年龄”，故选C。
54．D分析句子结构，biological只能修饰名词。空后有一个冒号，冒号后句意为“长的年轻的人有更长的端粒，端粒是DNA的一种成分，与人的衰老有关”，显然此处是一种解释，故选D(explanation)。
55．I分析句子结构，空处是定语从句的先行词，故应为名词，由“一个关键的DNA________”可知，空处应填component，意为“成分”，故选I。
56．M分析句子结构可知空处应填名词。原句意为“作者说医生广泛地应用可感知的年龄来作为患者健康的_____”，general indicator意为“一般指标”，符合句意，故选M。

57．B综合推断题。文章第三段第一句指出，特纳是all outspoken critic of the corporation(公司中坦率直言的批评家)，由此可知，B正确。
58．C综合推断题。从文章第五段段首Turner…supposed the merger，later expressed outrage over revelations that America Online had manipulated its financial results可知，特纳最初是支持两家公司合并的，但随着美国在线在财务上造假一事的曝光，他表现出了极度的愤慨，由此可知，C正确。
59．A综合推断题。本题可采用排除法。文章第六段第二句指出，特纳通过努力使美国在线的创始人史蒂夫·凯思辞去了公司董事长的职务，所以B、C正确；文章第七段第二句指出，资金管理研究所表示将对凯思下周竞选继任董事长职务投反对票，所以D正确；故选A。
60．D综合推断题。文章最后一段指出，特纳是一个颇有远见的梦想家(visionary)，所以D正确。
61．D主旨题。全文主要介绍特纳出售其持有的在线时代华纳娱乐公司的股票，以及他采取此举的原因，所以D正确。
Passage Two
文章精要
文章介绍了美国牛仔的出现和发展。美国牛仔出现于美国内战之后，其生活充满神秘感，却并不安逸。牛仔的工作现在已被直升机和农场所运用的现代科技取代，但牛仔的英雄形象却永存于人们心中。
62．C综合推断题。文章首段指出，牛仔时代开始于美国内战之后；战争结束时，得克萨斯州到处都是野牛；东部和中西部大量出现的城市中的人们想要吃更多的肉，而当地牧场主却无法满足他们的需求，因此对牛仔的需求从人们的需求和文化本质中显现出来。由此推断，牛仔在美国的出现主要是由于人们对牛肉的需求量增加，故选C。
63．A综合推断题。文章第二段最后四句指出，西班牙人将许多在管理牛和马方面很有经验的年轻人带到美国，他们发展成为现代牛仔，这些人会使用工具，也知道如何骑马，有些人还发现可以用绳子捕捉牛，并由此发明了套索，由此推断，牛仔可以在套索的帮助下捕捉牛，故选A。
64．D综合推断题。文章第三段首句指出，他们的生活并不安逸；第四段首句指出，牛仔得在户外艰苦的条件下生活，由此推断，牛仔的生活很艰苦，故选D。
65．B语义题。被考查词所在句意为“对牛仔生活的一大boon是铁路的修建，铁路将东西部城市连接起来”。下文提到，铁路将牛仔的生活和外界联系起来，数百座与牛相关的小城镇沿着过去将牛运往市场的道路发展起来，因此西部和全国经济融合到一起。由此推断，boon此处应意为“好处，利益”，表示铁路给牛仔的生活带来的好处，故选B。A(缺点)、C(要求)和D(实力)均应排除。
66．D观点态度题。文章最后一段指出，现在牛仔的生活与从前相比有较大的变化，现在直升机用于聚拢牛群，农场所用的现代科技使牛仔的生活不再那么艰难，由此可排除A、B、C三项；最后一句指出，有关
牛仔的传说使牛仔作为西部荒原英雄的形象永存，由此推断，作者认为牛仔
是人们心目中的英雄，故选D。

2014年6月英语四级仔细阅读真题（第一套）及 答案 Passage One Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage. When young women were found to make only 82 percent of what their male peers do just one year out of college, many were at a loss to explain it. All the traditional reasons put forward to interpret the pay gap-that women fall behind when they leave the workforce to raise kids, for example, or that they don't seek as many management roles-failed to justify this one. These young women didn't have kids yet. And because they were just one year removed from their undergraduate degrees, few of these women yet had the chance to go after (much less decline) leadership roles. But there are other reasons why the pay gap remains so persistent. The first is that no matter how many women may be getting college degrees, the university experience is still an unequal one. The second is that our higher education system is not designed to focus on the economic consequences of our students' years on campus. Now that women are the majority of college students and surpass men in both the number of undergraduate and advanced degrees awarded, one might think the college campus is a pretty equal place. It is not. Studies show that while girls do better than boys in high school, they start to trail off during their college years. They enroll in different kinds of classes, tend to major in less rigorous (非常严格的) subjects, and generally head off with less ambitious plans. As a result, it's not surprising that even the best educated young women enter the workplace with a slight disadvantage. Their college experience leaves them somewhat confused, still stumbling (栽倒) over the dilemmas their grandmothers' generation sought to destroy. Are they supposed to be pretty or smart? Strong or sexy (性感的) All their lives, today's young women have been pushed to embrace both perfection and passion-to pursue science and sports, math and theater-and do it all as well as they possibly can. No wonder they are not negotiating for higher salaries as soon as they get out of school. They are too exhausted, and too scared of failing. 56. Traditionally, it is believed that women earn less than men because ______. A) they have failed to take as many rigorous courses B) they do not feel as fit for management roles C) they feel obliged to take care of their kids at home D) they do not exhibit the needed leadership qualities 57. What does the author say about America's higher education system? A) It does not offer specific career counseling to women. B) It does not consider its economic impact on graduates. C) It does not take care of women students' special needs. D) It does not encourage women to take rigorous subjects. 58. What does the author say about today's college experience? A) It is different for male and female students. B) It is not the same as that of earlier generations. C) It is more exhausting than most women expect. D) It is not so satisfying to many American students. 59. What does the author say about women students in college? A) They have no idea how to bring out their best. B) They drop a course when they find it too rigorous. C) They are not as practical as men in choosing courses. D) They don't perform as well as they did in high school. 60. How does the author explain the pay gap between men and women fresh from college?

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not_ use__any of the words in the bank more than once. 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 afr aid 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 ’aroundT--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. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。 Section B Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and marie the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Question 57 to 61 are based on the following passage. When the Earth shook here on March 26th, 2000, it helped geologists to figure out how the Earth around Seattle would shake during the real thing less than a year later. When Seattle’s Kingdome was demolished with explosives, more than 200
2015年6月英语四级考试真题及答案(卷一完整版) 范文： Writing：家长角色 There are several possible reasons accountable for this phenomenon(中心句). T o begin with, family in growing numbers has only one child; therefore, parents oft entimes focus all their attentions on that child and exert much pressure on him o r her(原因一). Moreover, numerous parents intend to realize their unfulfilled dream s by letting their children learn what they failed to learn and apply for the colleg e by which they failed to be accepted, because they have become richer and the y believe that they have the power to make what they wanted and want come tr ue now(原因二). For instance, my uncle used to be a poor man and his dream th at one day he would become a violinist was broken because of lack of money. B ut he made a fortune by selling coals, and then forced his son, my younger brot her to practice playing violin. My brother was a huge fan of sports, but now he has to play violin everyday unwillingly and ofter quarrels with their parents(举例：原来-然后-结局). To sum up, it is unreasonable for parents to control their children’s life(总结句). In order to help them grow happily and healthily, parents are supposed to co mmunicate with their kids about what they are really interested in(建议一，目的句型). Meanwhile, it is about time that parents let their kids make their own choices
英语专业四级考试阅读理解解题步骤 1．浏览试题，明确目标 在进行阅读之前，首先浏览短文后面的题目。看完试题题干和四个选项后，分析掌握每道试题考查的内容和题型（如是主旨大意题、细节理解题，还是推理分析题等），以便带着问题有目标地阅读短文，按照相应的解题技巧寻找正确答案。 2．略读全文，掌握大意 有效的阅读是先掌握全局，再寻求细节。略读（skimming）又称跳读（reading and skipping）或浏览(glancing)，是一种专门而实用的快速阅读方法，主要特点是选择性地阅读。拿到一篇500字左右的文章时，应先用30秒左右的时间进行略读，其目的一是：以尽可能快的速度获取文章主旨大意或中心思想；二是辨识文章体裁，掌握结构（如果是记叙文，就需要了解故事发生的时间、地点、背景和人物活动等主要线索；如果是议论文，就要弄清文章的中心论点以及论述内容）。略读完成后就去看题干，这时有关文章主旨大意题已经有了答案，而对细节题要根据题目的具体要求回到文章中再进行快速扫读以找到相应的信息。 【真题示例】（2009） Nowadays, a cellphone service is available to everyone, everywhere. Probably thousands of people have already been using it, but I just discovered it, so I’m going to claim it and also name it: Fake Foning. The technology has been working well for me at the office, but there are infinite applications. Virtually in any public space. Say you work at a big university with lots of talky faculty members buzzing about. Now, say you need to use the restroom. The trip down the hall will take approximately one hour, because a person can’t walk into those talky people without getting pulled aside for a question, a bit of gossip, a new read on a certain line of Paradise Lost. So, a cellphone. Any cellphone. Just pick it up. Don’t dial. Just h old that phone to your face and start talking. Walk confidently down the hall engaged in fake conversation, making sure to tailor both the topic and content to the person standing before you whom you are trying to evade. For standard colleague avoidance, I suggest fake chatting about fake business: “Yes, I’m glad you called, because we really need to hammer out the details. What’s that? Yes, I read Page 12, but if you look at the bottom of 4, I think you can see the problem begins
2014年6月大学英语四级作文真题汇总分析及范文2014年6月的大学英语四级考试已经落下帷幕，大家最关心的英语四级作文话题也已经面世。 四级写作题目一： Suppose a foreign friend of yours in coming to visit your hometown. What is the place would you show him or her and why? 四级写作题目二： Suppose a foreign friend of yours in coming to visit your campus. What is the place would you show him or her and why? 四级写作题目三： Suppose a foreign friend of yours in coming to visit your China. What is the place would you show him or her and why? 与去年的图画作文模式不同，今年又重新回到了话题作文的形式，并且所给话题也是考生非常熟悉的，很容易展开思路。更令人惊奇的是今年的作文虽然有三个话题，但是话题设定的背景信息是趋同的，都是说外国朋友要来中国或来你的家乡或来你的学校，让你介绍一下中国/家乡/学校的特色，目的还是为了推介我们本土的文化特色，看来出题人是越来越看重中国传统文化的弘扬了。去年的翻译题当中就出现了一系列的对中国传统文化的介绍，像中餐，中国结，茶文化，中国园林，中秋等等。所以说，文化题材，特别是有关中国文化特色的题材要成为以后大家复习的重点内容。以后备考四六级的同学一定要多联系这个文化题材的翻译和写作。
小型学校不断上升的 今年的名单中排名前100位高中表明,今天,那些拥有更少的学生都在蓬勃发展。 五十年前,他们在教育改革的最新的事情:大、现代、郊区中学的学生数在数以千计。随着婴儿潮一代(二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人)是高中时代,大学校所承诺的经济效率。一个更大的选择的课程,当然,更好的球队。几年以后,我们是否理解这个涉及权衡:创建过多的官僚机构(官僚机构),困难的锻造教师和学生之间的个人关系。SAT成绩在1963年开始下降;今天,平均30%的学生没有完成高中四年,这个数字上升到50%的贫困地区。虽然强调教学更高、测试驱动的标准制定“不让一个孩子掉队导致明显更好的性能在小学(和一些中间)学校,高中出于各种原因似乎没 有取得什么进展。 大小不是一切,但它是很重要的,过去的十年已经取得了明显的逆倾向于规模较小的学校。这是由于,在某种程度上,比尔和梅林达?盖茨基金会已经投资18亿美元在美国高中,帮助打开大约1000小型学校大多数的大约400个孩子每个平均入学率只有150每级,大约500多是在绘图板上。全国各地的地区已经开始注意,连同市长在城市像纽约,芝加哥和圣地亚哥。运动包括独立的特许公立学校,如第一基础在图森,只有120,今年该校18毕业生。它包含了地区认可的磁铁学校,如天才的学校有198名学生,科学和工程磁铁,w ith383,共享一个构建在达拉斯,以及城市学校在布法罗纽约荣誉诞生于为学生志愿者晚上研讨会。和它包括选择学校与学生选择彩票(抽签),如h b Woodlaw n 在弗吉尼亚州的阿灵顿市。和最明显的的是,有这种现象的大型城市和郊区的高中有分成更小的单位的几百,一般住在相同的理由是曾经拥有过成千上万的学生游行至所有相同的乐队。 山谷高中在圣马特奥市,就是其中之一,No.423-among排名前2%的国家在《新闻周刊》的年度排名,美国的顶级高中。小型学校的成功是明显的清单。十年前,当第一个新闻周刊列表基于大学水平的测试参与发表,只有三个顶级的100所学校毕业类小于100学生。今年有22。近250所学校在完整的,《新闻周刊》排名最前的5%的学校在全国范围内已经在2007年的毕业生不到200名。 尽管许多的民的学生来自富裕的家庭,到了1990平均成绩是滑动,它已经赢得了恩断义绝昵称(绰号)“Hills jail。“杰夫·吉尔伯特。一个山谷老师成为主要去年,记得坐在与其他教师看学生的毕业典礼上的文件,并要求彼此惊奇相看,“这怎么能学生毕业了吗?” 所以在2003年山谷把自己重塑成三个“房子”,浪漫地命名为佛罗伦萨,马拉喀什和京都。每个300到九年级学生是随机(随机地)分配给一个房子。在那里他们将保持相同的四个核心学科教师为两年,然后再在另一个为11和12年级。这个系统的亲密培养强化了这种机构的“咨询”类教师与学生见面在组25日早晨,一周5个开放式讨论从作业问题坏周六日期。顾问们还私下与学生见面,与父母保持联系,因此他们深深的投资在学生的成功。“我们经常谈论彼此的顾问,“说的英语老师克里斯·克罗克特。“如果你听到你的身体不好,或者看到他们在数学坐在外面院长办公室时,它就像一个个人失败。“随着新结构出现了更为严格的教学计划,新生的百分比以生物学跳下17至95。“这是粗糙一些。但通过大四,三分之二已经上升到物理,”Gilbert说“我们的孩子来到学校,部分是因为他们知道这里有成年人知道他们,关心他们。“但不是所有学校显示进展公司裁员,之后还有待分晓较小的学校将会是一个万灵药的解决方案。 《新闻周刊》列出的前美国高中是中国,在过去的几年中,根据一个度量,学生的比例以大学水平的考试。多年来, 这项制度已经在公司股份的批评,因为它的简单性。但这也是它的力量:很容易让读者了解,和做算术为他们自己的学校,如果他们想。 排名的学校总是有争议,今年38名负责人(地区教育主管)从五个州写信询问,他们的学校被排除在计算。“这是不可能知道哪个高中是“最好的”的国家,“他们的信读。部分。“决定不同的学校做或不提供高质量的教育需要一看男人不同的措施,包括学生的整体学术成就及其随后的性能在大学。和考虑他们社区的独特需要。” 最后,负责人同意提供数据我们寻求,毕竟,这些公共信息。还有,在我们看来,没有真正的争议在这里,我们都在寻找同样的事情,这是学校,更好地为我们的孩子和我们的国家通过鼓励学生应对严格的学科教师指导下的天才。如果我们继续朝着这个目标,总有一天,也许不需要一个列表。1。五十年前。大。现代。建立了郊区高中生希望_____。
2 015年6月13日全国大学英语四级翻译真题及答案 大米 在西方人心目中，和中国联系最为密切的基本食物是大米。长期以来，大米在中国人的饮食中占据很重要的地位，以至于有谚语说“巧妇难为无米之炊”。中国南方大多数种植水稻，人们通常以大米为食；而华北大部分地区因为过于寒冷或过于干燥，无法种植水稻，那里的主要作物是小麦。在中国，有些人用面粉做面包，但大多数人用面粉做馒头和面条。 In the mind of Westerners,Chinese people have the closest connection to rice,basic food for the Chinese.For a long time,rice occupies a very important position in the Chinese diet.There is even a saying that "even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice".People in south China plant and live on rice,while people in the most parts of North China cannot plant rice due to excessively dry and cold weather. The main crop there is wheat. In China, some people use flour to bake bread,while most people make steamed bread and noodles with flour. xx 中国是世界上最古老的文明之一。构成现代世界基础的许多元素起源于中国。中国现在拥有世界上发展最快的经济，并正经历着一次新的工业革命。中国还启动了雄心勃勃的太空探索计划，其中包括到20年建成的一个太空站。目前，中国是世界最大的出口国之一，并正在吸引大量外国投资。同时，它也在海外投资数十亿美元。2011年，中国超越日本成为世界第二大经济体。 快递 据报道，今年中国快递服务（courier service）将递送大约120亿件包裹。这将使中国有可能超越美国成为世界上最大的快递市场。大多数包裹里装着网上订购的物品。中国给数百万在线零售商以极具竞争力的价格销售商品的机会。仅在11月11日，中国消费者就从国内最大的购物平台购买了价值90亿美元的商品。中国有不少这样的特殊购物日。因此，快递业在中国扩展就不足为奇了。

2012年6月英语四级真题答案（完整版） On Excessive Packaging Nowadays the phenomena of excessive packaging of goods are prevailing in our society: clothes swathed in tissue paper, placed in cardboard box and finally wrapped in well-designed plastic bags, imported bottles of grape wine packed in wooden boxes, fruits put in hand-woven baskets, to name but a few. There are several causes of excessive packaging. The first reason is that a large number of companies believe that they can attract customers’ attention and stimulat e their purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus gaining more profits. On the other hand, quite a number of consumers mistakenly hold that the more delicate the package is, the better the quality will be, thus encouraging excessive packaging. In my point of view, excessive packaging has disastrous consequences, including the loss of precious resources, excessive consumption of water and energy, and unnecessary extraction of scarce land for landfill. To solve the problem, it’s necessary to take the following measures. First, laws and regulations must be made to restrict excessive packaging of companies. In addition, we need to raise consumer’s awareness that excessive packaging doesn’t equal to high quality and advocate packaging recycling. 【解析】 本次作文的话题是“过度包装”，话题不断新，考生应该都比较熟悉。写好本篇作文的关键在于紧跟题目所列提纲：现象——原因——看法和建议，确定相应的写作结构。重点分析产生此现象的原因有哪些，把最重要的两三点罗列下来。最后， 根据分析出的原因提供相应的建议。 范文首段开门见山，首先一句话总结如今社会上过度包装现象盛行，而后举出一 些实例补充说明。
