Historians tend to tell the same joke when they are describing history education in America. It’s the one 61 the teacher standing in the schoolroom door 62 goodbye to students for the summer and calling 63 them, “By the way, we won World War II.”

The problem with the joke, of course, is that it’s 64 funny. The recent surveys on 65 illiteracy (无知) are beginning to numb (令人震惊): nearly one third of American 17 year olds cannot even 66 which countries the United States 67 against in that war. One third have no 68 when the Declaration of Independence was 69. One third thought Columbus reached the New World after 1750. Two thirds cannot correctly 70 the Civil War between 1850 and 1900. 71 when they get the answers right, some are 72 guessing.

Unlike math or science, ignorance of history cannot be 73 connected to loss of international 74. But it does affect our future 75 a democratic nation and as individuals.

The 76 news is that there is growing agreement 77 what is wrong with the 78 of history and what needs to be 79 to fix it. The steps are tentative (尝试性) 80 yet to be felt in most classrooms.

71.A72.B73.D74.C75. D

76.D77.C78.C79.A80.B.

【答案解析】:

61.A it指代的是历史学家们所说的笑话,接下来的便是笑话的内容。引出内容的介词是about,故选A。

62.B 此题考查词汇和上下文理解:老师站在校门口对学生挥别,所以,此处选waving(挥手),而不能选shaking(握手)或nodding(点头),speaking后面一般不接宾语。

63.B 此题考查词组。四个选项分别和call组成四个词组:call in(来访),call after(追喊),call for(号召、提倡),call up(提出、召唤)。

64.D 从下文看出,现在的美国年轻人对于本国的历史十分无知。由此推断,这个笑话是一点儿也不好笑的。因此,选D。

65.A 文章以历史学家讲的一个笑话开头,这里的调查则应该是针对历史的无知程度展开的。故选A historical。

66.C 此题与67题一起分析。首先来看67题,这个空缺在定语从句which countries the United Statesagainst in that war中充当谓语,四个选项中,不难得出,fought against这个固定搭配表示“与……战斗”是正确答案。再回到66题,此题考查的是考生的词汇:distinguish(区分、辨认),acknowledge(承认),“identify”(确认、认出),convey(传达),根据意思,这里应选择C identify。

67.C 参照66题。

68.D 此题考查固定搭配have no idea about(对……一无所知),其中的about 省略。

69.B the Declaration of Independence指的是“独立宣言”。原文意为:“三分之一的人对于《独立宣言》是何时签署的一无所知。”因此,答案为signed(签署)。

70.B 此题考查对原文理解:“三分之二的人不能正确评价内战”。选项中,只有judge具有“评价”的意思。

71.A 从此句后半部分可以推出,就算选对了答案,有些人也是猜的。四个选项中最符合逻辑的是A答案Even(甚至),表示递进关系。

72.B just表示“仅仅、只是”,表达的是被调查者猜题时的不重视心态。

73.D 此题考查上下文理解,原文意思是“忽视历史不像忽视数学或科学那样与国际的损失相关。”之所以容易忽视历史,是因为历史的重要性并不如数学或科学那么明显,它的作用是间接的。四个选项:exclusively(专门地),practically(实际上地),shortly(短暂地),directly(直接地),其中,directly符合题意。

74.C international community(国际社区)是近年来广泛提倡的概念。

75.D 本句后半部分出现了as,与之并列,这里也选D。

76.D 由后文“达成一致”可得知,这里的消息应是“好消息”,用good news 表示。故选D答案。

77.C 此题考查介词用法。“在……上达成一致”,介词用on。

78.C 文中提到关于历史知识的调查是在青少年中进行的,由此可知,他们对历史几乎处于无知状态的原因是与历史教学分不开的。到底历史教学出了什么问题呢?这里选teaching。

79.A 表示“应该做些什么”用what needs to be done。因此选A。

80.B 原文意思是:“虽然这些措施是尝试性的,但还是要在大多数课堂上实施。”表示“还是”只有选项B or。

Wise buying is a positive way in which you can make your money go further. The 61 you go about purchasing an article or a service can actually 62 your money or can add 63 the cost.

Take the 64 example of a hairdryer. If you are buying a hairdryer, you might 65 that you are making the 66 buy if you choose one 67 look you like and which is also the cheapest 68 price. But when you get it home you may find that it 69 twice as long as a more expensive 70 to dry your hair. The cost of the electricity plus the cost of your time could well 71 your hairdryer the most expensive one of all.

So what principles should you 72 when you go out shopping?

If you 73 your home, your car or any valuable 74 in excellent condition, you’ll be saving money in the long 75.

Before you buy a new 76, talk to someone who owns one. If you can, use it or borrow it to check if it suits your particular 77.

Before you buy an expensive 78, or a service, do check the price and 79 is on offer. If possible, choose 80 three items or three estimates.

61.A. formB. fashionC. wayD. method

71.B72.A73.D74.B75.A

76.A77.B78.C79.A80.D

【答案解析】:

61.C本篇讲述了明智的购物方式可以让钱发挥更大的作用。此题前一句提到了一种正确的消费方式,这一空必须对前文进行呼应,因此,也选择C way。

62.A不同的购买方式既可以让你省钱,也可以让你增加开销。save(节省、节约),preserve(保留),raise(提高、增加),retain(保留、保持),从四个选项的词义来看,“省钱”用save money来表达。故选A。

63.B参照上题,62题和63题之间是用or连接的,所以63题应该填“省钱”的相反意义。此处,“增加花销”的固定搭配是add to。故选B

64.C结合四个选项,不难推出,作者意欲通过一个简单的例子来说明这个观点。故选择simple,而easy(容易的)修饰example表达的意思不合逻辑。

65.D参照下题。

66.B65题可以搁置一边,先考虑以下几题。先看that所带宾语从句中if引导的条件状语从句。经过句子结构分析后,67空后的look是名词,意思是“样子或式样”,由此推知,67空应该是一个形容词性的疑问代词,选whose。再来看68题,表达“价格最便宜”的意思,“在……方面”用介词in。此时,再回到66题,不难推出,作者指,如果买的吹风机是自己喜欢的,价格又是最便宜的,那么你可能认为自己做出的选择是“最好的”。因此,66题选best。这几题都得出正确答案后,65题就非常容易,应选择think(认为)。convince此处应用something be convinced that的句型,形式应为被动;其他几个选项意义都不符合。

67.C 参照66题。

68.C 参照66题。

69.B 作者假设在这个例子中购买了一个既便宜又好看的吹风机,哪知拿回去用起来才发现要花两倍的时间才能把头发吹干。long表示时间,主语为物且能与时间搭配的动词是take。

70.D 参照上题,此处意为“更贵一点的(吹风机)”,该填什么呢?结合选项,mode(模式),copy(副本),sample(样品),model(型号),不难得出,D才是正确答案。

71.B 此题考查上下文理解和词汇。四个选项意思分别为:“导致”、“使”、“留下”、“证明”。结合原文意思:“所用电费成本再加上花去的时间极可能使你买的吹风机成为最贵的一个。”此题还有考查词组make something something的用意。故答案为make。

72.A 此处考查词组搭配。此前,作者已用一个例子阐明了不当的购物方式可能让你更浪费钱。接下来,作者要阐述的内容是,购物时所要采取的原则。故选择adopt。其他几个选项意义分别为:“放置”、“采取”(应和to搭配使用)、“调节以适用”。

73.D分析原文,可知要填的词组是something in an excellent condition。结合四个选项,不难推知,作者表达的意思应是:“使某物保持一种出色的状态”。故,此处选择keep。reserve和store虽也有“保持”之意,但都偏“储存”方面的意思。

74.B此题考查词汇。valuable possession指的是“珍贵财物”。选possession。

75.A此题考查固定搭配in the long run,表示“长期”。

76.A前文作者以吹风机为例,此处购买的新物件自然也指电器;而且其他选项都为抽象名词,不表达具体某件物品。因此,此题选择appliance(电器)。

77.B 此时,作者提出了另一个建议,就是在购买新的电器之前,如果可能,借朋友的来先用用,看是否能满足个人的目的。此题考查的是purpose和goal 的区别,前者表示“目的、意图”,后者表示“通过努力要达到的目标”,显然,此题应选择purpose。

78.C 此题主要考查词汇。component、element、item、particle的意思分别是:“配件”、“元素”、“商品”和“粒子”,结合原文意思,答案应为item。

79.A 此处考查宾语从句,而经分析得知,空缺的关系代词在宾语从句中担当主语。因此,符合此条件的是what。此外,on offer的意思是“特价”。

80.D 此题考查固定搭配:choose from表示“从……中选择”。

语法结构中,考了it takes some time to do something的句型,而且定语从句首次考查了形容词性的关系词。

大学英语四级专项训练——选词填空 (一) Americans are proud of their variety and individualty, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform. Why are uniforms so __1__ in the United States Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more __2__ than civilian(百姓的)clothes. People have become conditioned to __3__ superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to __4__ more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the __5__ of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What an easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to __6__ professional identity(身份)than to step out of uniform Uniforms also have many __7__ benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes. Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of __8__ experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without __9__, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act __10__, on the job at least.

Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can __1__ performance at work and school. Cognitive( 认识派的) researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on __2__ and gifts from others. The latter view has gained many supporters, __3__ among educators. But the careful use of small __4__ rewards speaks creativity in grade school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements( 刺激) indeed __5__inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. “If kids know they’re working f or a reward and can focus on a relatively __6__ task, they show the most creativity,” says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But it’s easy to __7__ creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards.

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite
