参考答案
31.[B] 【解析】首旬指出“大多数重要的职业都需要一定的专业培训”，故此空应指对“职业”的选择，选B。

44.[B]【解析】专业性职业领域对教育和个人能力要求相对较高，requirements“要求”符合旬意。
45.[B]【解析】前两句讲选择职业时的常见错误，此处句意
顺承上文，应填入否定词，表示有声誉的职业和白领职业并不能成为择业的原因，故8正确。
46.[A]【解析】空格后面一句话继续对这样的选择予以否定.表达的是一种递进关系，有逗号隔开，选A。
47.[D]【解析】空格所在的句子与前面的句子构成因果关系(since).故空格处填入的词大意思应为“考虑，思考”，选D。
48.[A]【解析】由he wants与life可知，是“从生活中想得到的”之义.故选A。能不能表达“从生活中想得到”的意思，D没有这个说法。
49.[C]【解析】由一些人希望有安全感和另一些人想得到金钱上的回报，可推知填入的词应与security“安全”相反，故选C。take risks“冒风险”。

2021年专业英语四级完形及全文翻译试题及答 案 [an error occurred while processing this directive] Until I took Dr. Offutt’s class, I was an underachieving student, but I left that class determined never to underachieve again. He not only taught me to think, he convinced me, as much by example as words, that it was my moral obligation to do so and to serve others. Neither of us could know how our relationship would evolve over the years. When I first came back to DeMatha to teach English, I worked for Dr. Offutt, the department chair. My discussions with him as he mentored me were like graduate seminars in adolescent development, classroom management and school leadership. After several years, I was named department chair, and our relationship shifted again. I thought that it might be awkward chairing the department, since all of my former English teachers were still there, but Dr. Offutt supported me throughout. He knew when to give me advice about
2021年12月英语四级真题完形、翻译点评 最新、最完整的英语完形填空部分答案，以下是完整内容。 完形填空 此次四级考试已经尘埃落定，纵观本次考试的完形填空题型，难度较往年相比差别不大。 文章中有关逻辑关系的题目出现频率较高，但难度不大。例如，70，72，78，80，81，83，85，86都是在考察逻辑关系。对于此类题型，考生应考时切忌目无全牛，一定要瞻前顾后，把握住句与句之间的逻辑关系。比如说第72道题，句中出现了表示并列逻辑关系的逻辑词and。and之前说老年人的数量很多，因而之后的意思应该与此前相近，故而填写over，带入文中大致意为“享受养老金贴的人也很多”。另外，本次完形填空中还呈现出一个很有趣的现象，即出现了三道复现题，分别为70，71和73道题。在70道题之前刚刚出现了一个challenges，所以70道题选择C)challenges。而对于71道题来说，全文中出现了retirement，retire，oldest和later stages 等词，所以71题选择B)retirement。最后，73道题选择B)Learning，因为全文多次出现Learning“学习”这样的字眼。除了以上的逻辑关系有所考察之外，词义辨析和固定搭配也有涉及。比如，82道题，transition后面跟to。 选词填空点评
此次四级考试15选10的难度与往年差别不大。每年考试文章各异，但是依然需要按照三步法则来进行破解： 1、对给定的单词按词性进行分类;(15选10只考察4种词性，分别是名词、动词、形容词和副词。) 2、看文章时，尤其是遇到空格时，首先要去判断空格的词性; 3、分析上下文逻辑关系，以近一步减小搜寻范围; 例如，本次考试的第47道题，文中说“Researchers __47__ 92 families from 11 child…”。首先判断词性，因为缺少谓语，故知道需要填写动词，此题选择K)recruited 招募。再看53道题，“The researchers are __53__ why…”，首先判断词性是形容词，其次，后面的单词why提示我们researchers对于某个问题有疑问，不确定，所以选择N)unsure。 总之，对于此类题型考生需在平时的英语学习中先解决单词的问题，因为在考场上对于单词反应的时间越短，你做题的速度就会越快。注意，考试时一定要先按照词性进行分类，因为这样可以减小搜寻的范围，不至于在15个单词中徘徊不前。总之，15选10的精髓就在于不断的减小搜索的范围，以提高正确率。 翻译 对于四级的翻译，考生可以遵照一个通用的四步法则来进行，即首先读全原句(英文和中文)，找出主干;第二，翻译主干;第三，添加枝叶;最后，通读全句，检查错误。 在这里需要强调的是，在翻译之前一定要读全原句，并且英文和

The findings may shed new light on why human studies have previously 【C1】______fetal (胎儿的)alcohol exposure to increased alcohol 【C2】______ later in life, and to a lower age at which a person first starts drinking alcohol. Alcohol’s taste is a 【C3】______ of sweet and bitter components. To test whether prenatal (产前的)alcohol exposure could 【C4】______ the perception of these components, Steven Youngentob at the State University of New York in Syracuse and John Glendinning at Columbia University in New York 【C5】______ how eagerly rats consumed alcohol, sweet water or bitter water. They found that young rats whose mothers had consumed alcohol during pregnancy preferred alcohol and consumed more of the bitter water than the 【C6】______ of mothers that didn’t consume alcohol. Rats that had been exposed to alcohol before birth also seemed to be more 【C7】______ to the smell of alcohol. Prenatal exposure seems to reduce the 【C8】______ bitterness of alcohol, making it seem sweeter, says Youngentob. Both of these differences seemed to 【C9】______ once the rats reached adulthood—but only if they hadn’t tasted alcohol during their youth.
