12.U.S.News _______ rankings of colleges since1983. They are a very popular resource for students looking to apply to a university campus.
A.maintains
B. is maintaining
C.maintained
D.has been maintaining
解析：D.has been maintaining. 《美国新闻》从1983年起就一直保持着大学的排名。对于想申请大学校园的学生来说，这些大学是非常受欢迎的资源。考点分析，时态现在完成进行时（have been doing），从过去某一时间点（1983年）到现在仍然进行的动作（一直保持大学排名）。拓展句型，Tom has been playing football for two hours.Tom已经踢
了两个小时的足球了。maintain重要词汇，vt. （keep steady）维持，~to maintain world peace, （support）供养，~to maintain a family of 6, （assert坚称）~to maintain that, (look after保养—vehicle、machine、building）~to maintain a road.
13.☆He was lured into a crime he would not _____ have committed.
A. actually
B. otherwise
C. accidentally
D. seldom
解析：B. otherwise. 他是被引诱的, 要不然的话, 他是不会犯罪的。考点分析，otherwise用在定语从句结构中, 并与虚拟语气搭配使用。本题省略了that，He was lured into a crime that he would not otherwise have committed. 本句中省略的关系代词that指代先行词crime, 充当commit的宾语。Otherwise的这一用法既可以出现在that/which/who引导的普通定语从句中,也可以出现在than引导的特殊定语从句。 otherwise的基本含义是“在相反的情况下”或“要不然的话”, 表达的是与前面提到的真实情况相反的一个假设情形。本句otherwise是对过去的虚拟, otherwise就相当于虚拟条件从句“if it had not been
for …”, 此时that定语从句中的结构为“that somebody would otherwise have +过去分词”。整个定语从句相当于这样一个完整的虚拟句: “He would not have committed the crime if he had not been lured into it.”(如果他当时没有受引诱,他就不会犯罪了。) 具体用法请查阅otherwise与定语从句。

A.the evil
B.evils

2018年12月大学英语四级真题及答案 第一部分写作 2018年12月大学英语四级考试写作真题(第1套) 2018年12月英语四级真题写作范文(出国留学的挑战) 【作文一参考范文】 It is well known that due to the booming economy and increasing family income, studying abroad has become an increasingly popular choice for students. Although studying abroad is often praised by people for its advantages, there are still some disadvantages to be noticed. First of all, to study abroad is expensive. Specifically speaking, those involved have to spend a large amount of money on tuition and living expenses, which is not affordable for everyone. In addition, to study abroad is a great challenge for those students who lack the ability of living independently. If they can not take good care of themselves there, their academic performance will be affected to a large extent. Last but not least, to study abroad may exercise a negative influence on students’ mentality. As we all know, to study abroad equals to stay away from family and friends for a long time, which is likely to produce some psychological problems for those students, such as being solitary and gloomy. From what has been mentioned above, we can easily come to the conclusion that the disadvantages of studying abroad can not be neglected. What’s more, those students who are planning to study abroad should make enough preparations for these problems mentioned above. Only in this way, can they have a fruitful and successful study life abroad. 【参考译文】 众所周知，随着经济的蓬勃发展和家庭收入的增加，出国留学已经成为越来越受学生欢迎的选择。虽然出国留学的优点经常被人们称赞，但仍有一些缺点需要注意。 首先，出国留学的费用是昂贵的。具体来说，这些人不得不花费一大笔钱在学费和生活费上，而这并不是每个人都负担得起的。此外，对于那些缺乏独立生活能力的学生来说，出国留学是一个巨大的挑战。如果他们不能照顾好自己，他们的学习成绩将在很大程度上受到影响。最后但并非最不重要，出国留学可能会对学生的心理产生负面影响。众所周知，出国留学等于长时间远离家人和朋友，这很可能使留学生产生一些心理问题，如孤僻和沮丧。 综上所述，我们不难得出以下结论：出国留学的缺点是不能忽视的。更重要的是，那些计划出国留学的学生应该为解决这些问题做好充足的准备。只有这样，他们才能有一个丰富多彩且成功的留学生活。 2018年12月英语四级真题作文:大城市生活的挑战 【作文二参考范文】 Recently the phenomenon of living in a big city has been brought into focus.

英语专业四级语言知识及完形填空题型解析 英语专业四级语言知识及完形填空题型解析 英语专业四级语言知识及完形填空题型解析 1 一、近义词辨析题 表示“真实的”的形容词可以有true, genuine, real 等，不一而足，但含义上彼此有差异，用法也不尽一样，比方true强调“符合真理的，正确的”，genuine强调“非人造的，货真价实的”，real那么强调“事件的真实性”，可理解为“显示的，并非虚假的”。此时就要注意结合考题的上下文，选择符合要求的词汇。 二、词根词缀辨析题 英语单词的构成可包含三个成分：前缀+词根+后缀。下面我们以respectable(体面的，高尚的，值得尊敬的)这个词为例：“re-”是前缀，表示“重复做某动作”;“spect”是词根，意思是一个动作——“看”;而“-able”是后缀，它首先提醒了该单词的词性是形容词，另外，这个形容词后缀的意思是“可以……的，值得……的”。而英语中，很多单词含有一样的词根，即含义上有一定的联络性，此时就比拟难判断词义用法。如respectable的同根词有respectful (态度恭敬的)
和respective (各自的)。这三个单词的词根都是“spect”，拼写也有些相似，但词义相去甚远。平时复习时，考生应当重点积累这类含有一样词根的词汇，并且背单词时要学会掌握常见词根、前缀、后缀的含义，从而在解题时才可以运用构词法知识来判断词语含义。 三、动词词组题 动词词组永远是考试的重点，尤其要注意同一个动词与不同介词组合，可结合成含义不同的词组，以动词give为例：“give out”表示“分发物品”;“give off”表示“散发出光辉或气味”;“give up”表示“放弃”;“give in”表示“屈从，投降，让步”。考题中常给出一个动词，而后面用什么介词与之搭配，那么需要考生在选项中选词填空。因此，考生在背单词时，需要专门花时间积累“动词+介词”词组。 四、从句引导词题 英语的从句包括主语从句、表语从句、状语从句、定语从句、同位语从句、宾语从句等。根据从句局部在句子里不同的表情达意作用，又可细分为更多类型，如状语从句包含表示原因的原因状语从句、表示时间概念的时间状语从句、表示假设的条件状语从句;根据从句语义的重要性和语气的强弱又可进一步细分，比方定语从句可细分为限定性定语从句(此时从句含义与主句严密相关)以及非限定性定语从句(此时从句含义与

动词词组永久是考试的重点，尤其要留意同一个动词与不同介词组合，可结合成含义不同的词组，以动词give为例：“give out”表示“分发物品”;“give off”表示“散发出光辉或气味”;“give up”表示“放弃”;“give in”表示“屈服，投降，让步”。考题中常给出一个动词，而后面用什么介词与之搭配，则需要考生在选项中选词填空。因此，考生在背单词时，需要特地花时间积累“动词+介词”词组。 四、从句引导词题 英语的从句包括主语从句、表语从句、状语从句、定语从句、同位语从句、宾语从句等。依据从句部分在句子里不同的表情达意作用，又可细分为更多类型，如状语从句包含表示缘由的缘由状语从句、表示时间概念的时间状语从句、表示假设的条件状语从句;依据从句语义的重要性和语气的强弱又可进一步细分，比方定语从句可细分为限定性定语从句(此时从句含义与主句紧密相关)以及非限定性定语从句(此时从句含义与主句联系不紧密，仅起到补充说明作用)。综上所述，各种从句都有各自常用的引导词，如限定性定语从句常用that 引导，非限定性定语从句常用which引导，条件状语从句常用if引导，主语从句常用what引导等。考生应当依据上述从句分类，搞清常用的引导词的用法。 五、规律连词题 这类题目通常在选项中消失表示不同规律关系的连词，如表示转折关系的but，表示递进关系的then，表示并列关系的and和or，
