2019年英语四级阅读理解练习题及答案解析（8）2019年英语四级阅读理解练习题及答案解析(8)When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought isfaulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer's claims, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” his or h er complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming he or she has a just claim. Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the rightone is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”. The store manager may advice the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take theseller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer's rights.1. When a consumer finds that his or her in it, thefirst thing he or she should do is to ____.A) complain personally to the managerB) threaten to take the matter to courtC) write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchaseD) show some written proof of the purchase to the store2. How can a consumer make his or her complaint more effective, according to the passage?A) Explain exactly what is wrong with the item.B) Threaten to take the seller to court.C) Make polite and general statements about the problem.D) Avoid having direct contact with the store manager.3. According to the passage, which of the following is suggested as the last alternative that consumers may turn to?A) Complain to the store manager in person.B) Complain to the manufacturer.C) Write a complaint letter to the manager.D) Turn to the Consumers’ Rights Protection Organization for help.4. The phrase “live up to” in this context means ____.A) meet the standard ofB) realize the purpose ofC) fulfill the demands ofD) keep the promise of5.The passage tells us ____.A) how to settle a consumer’s complaint about a faulty itemB) how to make an effective complaint about a faultyitemC) how to avoid buying a faulty itemD) how to deal with complaints from customers答案与解析：1. D当顾客发现自己所购买的商品有问题时，他所做的第一件事就是出示在商场购物的凭具。

2019 年 6 月英语四级阅读练习及答案(四)Henry III didn’t know much about biology. He went throughsix wives back in the 1500s, looking for one whocould bearhim a son. Scientists now know that it ’s the father ’s sperm, not the mother ’s egg, which determines whether a baby is aboy or a girl. And last week researchers at the Genetics andIVF Institute, a private fertility( 生育水平 )center inVirginia, announced a new technique that will allow parentsto choose the sex of their baby-to-be, before it has evenbeen conceived. The scientist used a tiny laser detector tomeasure the DNA in millions of sperm cells as they passsingle file through a narrow tube, like cattle being herdedthrough a corral( 牲口栏 ). In a study published last week,"girl sperm," which has more DNA —the genetic material — in each cell, was collected, while "boy sperm" was discarded.And when purified girl sperm was used to impregnate( 使受孕 )a group of mothers, 15 of 17 resulting babies turned out to begirls.The researchers say that "sex selection" can also doublea mother ’s chance of hav ing a son and can be usedto avoidgenetic diseases that affect only one gender, such ashemophilia( 血友病 ). But some experts, like New YorkUniversity fertility specialist Dr. Jamie Grifo, worry thatsex selection could lead to a kind ofin uteri(子宫)discrimination, especially in cultures where sons areconsidered superior to daughters. "It’s valuing one gender’over another," Grifo says. "I don’t think that’s something we should be doing." So far, patients at the institute havebeen asking for both boys and girls, in order to "balance"their families. And some ethics experts say that’s fine, as long as parents are just looking for a little gender variety."If you have three boys, and you want a girl," saysUniversity of Texas reproductive-law professor John Robertson, "that ’s not gender bias at all."练习题：Choose correct answers to the question：1.The DNA in the sperm cells can be measured ______.A.in the same way how the cattle are herdedB.when they pass through a tube one behind the otherC.after they pass through a laser tubeD.when they are scanned by a laser detector all at a time2.The gender of the baby is decided by ______.A.the father’s DNAB.the mother ’s DNAC.the father’s spermD.the mother ’s egg3.According to this passage, the practice of "sexselection" ______.A.can help to prevent all genetic problemsB.is totally unacceptable to ethics expertsC.was already realized five hundred years agoD.will benefit families with certain inheritable diseases4.Girl sperm was preferred to boy sperm in the research most probably because____A.girl sperm contains more genetic materialB.more mother want to have girl babiesC.girl sperm is healthier and more activeD.girl sperm is more easily purified5.It can be concl toward ”sex selection uded from the passage thatauthor ”is____’sA.negativeB.positiveC.neutralD.favorable1.[B]推理判断题。

2019四级阅读理解练习题及解析(4)Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people or ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one's actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 per cent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers' reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one's emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations; they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents. And many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things pose a threat to those with whom they share the road.62. The word “massacre” in line 3 paragraph one means _____A) mass-killing.B) disaster.C) tragedy.D) accident.63. What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?A) To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention.B) To promote understanding between careless drivers and street walkers.C) To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutions.D) To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving.64. According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because _____.A) autos have become most destructive to mankindB) people usually pay little attention to law and moralityC) civilization brings much harm to peopleD) the lack of virtue is becoming more severe65. Why does the author mention the psychological condition of the driver in Paragraph Three?A) To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents.B) To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy.C) To show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers.D) To illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving.66. Who are NOT mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents?A) Careless bicycle-riders.B) Mindless people walking in the street.C) Irresponsible drivers.D) Irresponsible manufactures of automobiles.参考答案：ACBBD。

2019年大学英语四级阅读理解练习题及答案解析(1)There are people in Italy who can’t stand soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey. A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. 『Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens.』① They tell youit’s a game better suited to the 19th century, slow, quiet, gentlemanly. These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there’s the sport that glorifies “the hit”.By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still.On TV the game is fractured into a dozen perspectives, replays, close瞮ps. The geometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. T he TV won’t do it for you.Take, for example, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base dugout and you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed. His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. 『But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws： the third baseman goes up on histoes, flexes his arms or bring the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman’s position.』② Suppose the pitch is a ball. “Nothing happened,” you say. “I could have had my eyes closed.”The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. Andthis involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of horsehide on wood. If football is a symphony of movement and theatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking of notes, chores and responses.1. The passage is mainly concerned with ______.A. the different tastes of people for sportsB. the different characteristics of sportsC. the attraction of footballD. the attraction of baseball2. Those who don’t like baseball may complain that______.A. it is only to the taste of the oldB. it involves fewer players than footballC. it is not exciting enoughD. it is pretentious and looks funny3. The author admits that ______.A. baseball is too peaceful for the youngB. baseball may seem boring when watched on TVC. football is more attracting than baseballD. baseball is more interesting than football4. By stating “I could have had my eyes closed. ” the author means (4th paragraph last sentence)：A. The third baseman would rather sleep than play the game.B. Even if the third baseman closed his eyes a moment ago, it could make no different to the result.C. The third baseman is so good at baseball that he could finish the game with eyes closed all the time and do his work well.D. The consequent was too bad he could not bear to see it.5. We can safely conclude that the author ______.A. likes footballB. hates footballC. hates baseballD. likes baseball词汇与短语1. dugout n. 棒球场边供球员休息的地方2. pitcher n. 投手3. symphony n. 交响乐4. chamber n. 室内5. contemplate vt.沉思，注视长难句解析①【解析】此句的主干是“Baseball?means?watching?”，其中“in funny tight outfits”用来修饰“grown men”,“standing?”和“staring”用来做“grown men”的定语。

Recently, thecountry requires that allelectronic goods—TVs,VCRs, stereos, and more—be recycled. But recyclingwill not beleft to consumers, instead, the devices willbe sent to the original manufacturer for properdisposal.The new law poses a few challenges to manufacturers who are now rushing to set up collectionnetworks and perfecting techniques to disassemble and recycle older products.With an eyetoward the future, they are also integrating easily recycled materials into new products.Plastics, a major component of most electronicproducts,posea particular obstacle becausetheir quality becomes worse and worsewith age,losing strengthand flexibility even ifreprocessed.NEC Corp. overcomes this problem by creating a plastics sandwich, in which thefilling is 100 percent recycled plastic and the outer layers a mixture of 14 percent recycledmaterial.The resulting plastic has sufficient strength and toughness for use as a case fordesktop PCs. The company, in cooperation with plastic maker Sumitomo Dow, has alsodeveloped a new plastic, which engineers claim retains its mechanical properties throughrepeated recycling. NEC uses the plastic, which is also flame-retardant (阻燃的) in batterycases for notebook PCs.Meanwhile, Matsushita Electric, maker of the Panasonic brand, is avoiding plastic in favor ofmagnesium (镁). Magnesium, says the company, is ideal for re cycling because it retains itsoriginal strength throughrepeated reprocessing. Matsushita has developed moldingtechniques to form magnesium into the case for a 21-inch TV. Unfortunately, the magnesiumcase and energy-saving features make the TV about twice as expensive as an ordinarymodel.The company hopes,however, that increased use of magnesium will eventually bringprices down.练习题：Choose correct answers to the question:1. According to the present regulations of Japan, the recycling of paper and plasticwill be the responsibility of______.A.. the governmentB. the manufacturersC. the consumersD. the sellers2. Which of the following is NOT the character of plastics?A. Most electronic products contain plastics.B. It retains its original strength through reprocessing.C. Recycled plastics can be integrated into new products.D. Plastics will lose flexibility after a certain period of time.3.According to the passage, the term “plastic sandwich” refers to_____.A. a kind of sandwich-shaped toy made of plasticsB. a kind of plastics with different integration in each layerC. a kind of plastics with maximum strength and flexibilityD. a kind of plastics made of 100% recycled materials4.In the passage, it is implied but NOT stated that_____.A. disposing the plastics is one of NEC Corp’s businessesB. magnesium is an ideal material for the case of TVC.21-inch TV with magnesium case isn’t very popular so far。

During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but Ididn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen.
