2019年6月大学英语四级阅读200篇汇总Sleep is very ancient. In the electroencephalographic(脑电图的)sense we share it with all the primates(灵长类动物)and almost all the other mammals and birds: it may extend back as far as the reptiles(爬行动物).There is some evidence that the two types of sleep, dreaming and dreamless, depend on the life style. of the animal, and that predators(食肉动物)are statistically much more likely to dream than prey, which are inturn much more likely to experience dreamless sleep. In dream sleep, the animal is powerfully immobilized(使固定不动)and remarkably unresponsive to external stimuli. Dreamless sleep is much shallower, and we haveall witnessed cats or dogs cocking their ears to a sound when apparently fast asleep. The fact that deep dream sleep is rare among prey today seems clearly to be a product of natural selection, and it makes sensethat today, when sleep is highly evolved, the stupid animals are less frequently immobilized by deep sleepthan the smart ones. But why should they sleep deeply at all? Why should a state of such deep immobilization ever have evolved?Perhaps one useful hint about the original function of sleep is to be found in the fact that dolphins and whales and aquatic mammals in general seem to sleep very little. There is, by and large, no place to hide in the ocean. Could it be that, rather than increasing an animal's vulnerability, Ray Meddis of London University has suggested this to be the case. It is conceivable that animals that are too stupid to be quite on their own initiative are, during periods of high risk, immobilized by the implacable arm of sleep. The point seems particularly clear for the young of predatory animals. This is an interesting notion and probably at least partly true.练习题:Choose correct answers to the question:1.Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?A.Evolution of Sleep.B.Two Types of Sleep.C.The Original Function of Sleep.D.Animals and Sleep.2.Predators are ___________.A.able to prey even when they are in deep dream sleepB.more likely to experience dream sleepC.incapable of preying when immobilized by dreamless sleepD.good at preying on stupid animals3.The example of dogs and cats in the second paragraph is intended to _.A. explain which animals are mammalsB. show the differences between mammalsC. illustrate how shallow dreamless sleep isD. reveal how smart they arepare with dreamless sleep, deep dream sleep is _______.A. not the result of natural selectionB. less likely to appear to primatesC. more protective to the animalsD. at a higher stage of evolution5.According to some scientists' research findings, dolphins seldom sleep because __.A.of their stupidityB.of their vulnerabilityC.there are possible dangers in the oceanD.aquatic mammals do not need sleep1.[A] 本文三段虽然讨论的内容各有侧重,但是都谈到了睡眠在各种动物中的差异以及发展的历史,具体用词如下:第1段第1句中的ancient,最后一句中的extend back;第2段最后一句中的evolved;第3段第1句中的original function。

2019年6月英语四级阅读练习及答案(一)Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance betweentheir lives and what they see on TV —if they everget home in time. There are similarities, of course, but the cops don’t think much of them.The first difference is that a policeman’s real life revolves round the law. Most of his training is in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to knowas a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to applyit on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down an alley after someone he wants to talk to.Little of his time is spent in chatting to scantily-clad (穿衣不多的) ladies or in dramatic confrontationswith desperate criminals. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty —or not —of stupid, petty crimes.Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal:as soon as he’s arrested, the story is over. i real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks — where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police —little effortis spent on searching.Having made an arrest, a detective really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and to do thathe often hasto gather a lot of different evidence. So, as well as being overworked, a detective has to beout at all hours of the dayand night interviewing his witnesses and persuade themusually against their own best interests, to help him.练习题:Choose correct answers to the question:1.The first sentence implies that ________.A.the life of the real policemen and that of the policemen on TV are entirely differentB.the real policemen will find the similarities if they can get home in timeC.the real policemen seldom can get home in time to watch TVD.the policemen shown on TV can always get home in time2.It is essential for a policeman to be trained in criminal law _____.A.so that he can catch criminals in the streetsB.because many of the criminals he has to catch are dangerousC.so that he can justify his arrests in courtD.because he has to know nearly as much about law as a professional lawyer3.The everyday life of a policeman or detective is ______.A.exciting and glamorousB. full of dangerC.devoted mostly to routine mattersD. wasted on unimportant matters4.When murders and terrorist attacks occur,thepolice______.A.prefer to wait for the criminal to give himself awayB.make great efforts to try to track down their manC.try to make a quick arrest in order to keep up their reputationually fail to produce results5.What’s the best title for the passage?A.Policemen and DetectiveB.Policemen’s Life-Fun and FantasyC.The Real Life of a PolicemanD.Drama and Reality1.[C] 推理判断题。
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年6月大学英语四级阅读200篇汇总By 1970, according to a World Wildlife Fund report, only about 4,500 tigers survived throughout the world-half of them in India. Mr. Foresters, who followed and counted tiger footprints, estimated that in May 1972 only about 1,800 tigers existed in India. Project Tiger Supported by W.W.F. was immediately launched. Nine tiger reserves(保留地) were created, with armed guards protecting them.The project provided opportunities for researchers from India and abroad to study tigers in the reserves and gather previously unavailable information about their habits. Studies show that a male tiger may control a hunting territory of between 10 and 20 square kilometers, depending on its age, size and strength. Theterritory of male includes the smaller territories(领地) of three or four tigresses. A tiger marks the boundaries of its territories by spraying urine and other bodily liquids on bushes. But it tries to avoid territorial fights, being guided by the distinctive body smell of other tigers. Tigers fight to death only when a tigress is defending her young, or when a tiger is guarding a tigress from the attentions of other males.The popular image of the tiger is that of a merciless and unconquerable hunter. But studies show that it catches only one of 20 victims it tries to attack.Fears have recently developed that Project Tiger has been too successful. It has enabled the tiger population to double (by mid-80 S), but India"s human population has also grown out of control. Currently it is 750 million and likely to be 900 million by the end of the century. Land problem is becoming serious and many rural people feel bitter about the fact that some rich forests are reserved for tigers. A growing number of attacks by tigers on man has added to the hostility .练习题:Choose correct answers to the question:1.The ultimate aim of Project Tiger is to _____.A.study the growth rate of tigersB.protect tigers from being killedC.promote the breeding of young tigersD.analyze the behavioral patterns of tigers2.Studies have shown that ______.A.a tigress never attacks until attackedB.the tigress is not as fierce as the tigersC.a tiger usually fights another tiger to defend its own territoryD.the tiger is not an efficient hunter as is commonly described3.According to the passage, a tiger"s territory _____.A.remains unchangedB.is often defended by tigressesC.expands as the tiger grows upD.is the cause of most fights4.Some people are afraid that Project Tiger _____.A.has been carried too farB.has not received enough attentionC.has failed to achieve its goalD.is not worth the money spent on it5.The author seems _____.A.to be enthusiastic about Project TigerB.to have a matter-of-fact attitude towards Project TigerC.to have a hostile attitude towards Project TigerD.to be satisfied with Project Tiger1.[D] 根据文章第1段,老虎被捕杀是其数量剧减的根本原因,因此使老虎免于被杀是野生动物保护基金会的最终目的,故选D。

xx年6月大学英语四级阅读练习及答案It is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement because once you are inside, the organizationalconstraints(约束)influence wage increases. One thing, however, is certain: your chances of getting the raise you feel you deserve are l ess if you don’t at least ask for it. Men tend to ask for more, and they get more, and this holds true with other resources, not just pay increases. Consider Beth’s story:I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We had cubicle(小隔间)offices and window offices.I sat inthe cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles, several males who were hired after me also wentto offices. One in particular told me he was next in linefor an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our me rit, but "nice" isn’t a quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay, you’ll probablyhave to ask for it.Performance is your best bargaining chip(筹码)when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to demonstrate thatyou deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs (a new client or a sizable contract, for example) just beforemerit pay decisions are beingmade, you are more likely toget the raise you want.Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market. What will someone elsepay for your services?Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chipson the table at the appropriate time and prepared touse munication style to guide the direction of the interaction.1. Aording to the passage, before taking a job, aperson should .A. demonstrate his capabilityB. give his boss a good impressionC. ask for as much money as he canD. ask for the salary he hopes to get2. What can be inferred from Beth’s story?A. Prejudice against women still exists in some organizations.B. If people want what they deserve, they have to askfor it.C. People should not be content with what they have got.D. People should be careful when negotiating for a job.3. We can learn from the passage that .A. unfairness exists in salary increasesB. most people are overworked and underpaidC. one should avoid overstating one’s performanceD. most organizations give their staff automatic pay raises4. To get a pay raise, a person should .A. advertise himself on the job marketB. persuade his boss to sign a long-term contractC) try to get inside information about the organizationD) do something to impress his boss just before merit pay decisions5. To be suessful in negotiations, one must .A. meet his boss at the appropriate timeB. arrive at the negotiation table punctuallyC. be good at influencing the oute of the interactionD. be familiar with what the boss likes and dislikes1.[D] 推理判断题。

大学英语四级-128(总分:100.00,做题时间:90分钟)一、Reading Comprehension(总题数:4,分数:100.00)For centuries, in the countries of south and Southeast Asia the elephant has been an intimate part of the culture, economy and religion. And nowhere more so than in Thailand. Unlike its African cousin, the Asian elephant is easily domesticated(驯化). The rare so-called white elephants have actually lent the authority of kingship to its rulers and until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background. To the early Western visitors the country"s romantic name was "Land of the White Elephant".Today, however, the story is very different. Out of work and out of land, the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs it. The elephant has found itself more or less abandoned by previous owners who have moved on to a different economic world and a westernized society. And while the elephant"s problems began many years ago, now it rates a very low national priority.How this reversal from national icon(圣像) to neglected animal came about is a tale of worsening environmental and the changing lives of the Thais themselves. According to Richard Lair, Thailand"s expert on the Asian elephant and author of the report Gone Astray, at the turn of the century there may well have been as many as 100,000 domestic elephants in the country. In the north of Thailand alone it was estimated that more than 20,000 elephants were employed in transport, 1,000 of them alone on the road between the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Saen This was at a time when 90 per-cent of Thailand was still forest—a habitat (栖息地) that not only supported the animals but also made them necessary to carry goods and people. Nothing ploughs through dense forest better than a massive but sure-footed elephant.By 1950 the elephant population had dropped to a still substantial 13,397, but today there are probably no more than 3,800, with another 1,350 roaming free in the national parks. But now, Thailand"s forest covers only 20 per cent of the land. This deforestation(采伐森林) is the central point of the elephant"s difficult situation, for it has effectively put the animals out of work. This century, as the road network grew, so the elephant"s role as a beast of burden declined.(分数:25.00)(1).What can we know about African elephants from the passage?(分数:5.00)A.It is easy to tame them.B.It is hard to tame them. √C.They are living a better life than Asian elephants.D.Their fate is quite similar to that of Asian elephants.解析:[解析] 事实细节题。

2019年6月大学英语四级阅读200篇汇总For centuries, in the countries of south and Southeast Asia the elephant has been an intimate part of the culture, economy and religion, and nowhere more so than in Thailand. Unlike its African cousin, the Asian elephant is easily domesticated (驯化). The rare so-called white elephants have actually lent the authority of kingship to its rulers and until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background.To the early Western visitors the country s romantic name was “Land of the White Elephant”.Today, however, the story is very different. Out of work and out of land, the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs it. The elephant has found itself more or less abandoned by previous owners who have moved on to a different economic world and a westernized society. And while the elephant s problems began many years ago, now it rates a very low national priority.How this reversal from national icon (圣像) to neglected animal came about is a tale of worsening environmental and the changing lives of the Thais themselves. According to Richard Lair, Thailand’s experts on the Asian elephant and author of the report Gone Astray, at the turn of the century there may well have beenas many as 100,000 domestic elephants in the country. In the north of Thailand alone it was estimated that more than 20,000 elephants were employed in transport, 1,000 of them alone on the road between the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Saen. This was at a time when 90 per cent of Thailand was still forest—a habitat (栖息地) that not only supported the animals but also made them necessary tocarry goods and people. Nothing ploughs through dense forest better than a massive but sure-footed elephant.By 1950 the elephant population had dropped to a still substantial 13,397, but today there are probably nomore than 3,800, with another 1,350 roaming free in the national parks. But now, Thailand’s forest coversonly 20 per cent of the land. This deforestation (采伐森林) is the central point of the elephant s difficult situation, for it has effectively put the animals out of work. This century, as the road network grew, so the elephant s role as a beast of burden declined.练习题:Choose correct answers to the question:1. What can we know about African elephants from the passage?A.

本题考查对比处。
根据文章第l段第3句:和非洲象不同,亚洲象容易驯养,言下之意就是:非洲象不易驯养。
答案中用tame替代原文的domesticate,意思相同。
选项A与原文意思正好相反;选项C,D原文根本未提到。
2.[B] 推理判断题。
根据文章第l段第4句中的“until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background.”可知当时白象是泰国的国家象征,因此B为正确选项。
本题干扰性的是选项D,在形式上,选项D与第1段最后一句极为相似,但是,游客这样称呼泰国,原因也是因为白象是泰国的象征,而不只是因为这个名字浪漫,因此,选项D是对原文的曲解;选项A和选项C虽然也来自文章,但不是原因,不能回答所提问题。
3.[A] 推理判断题。
文章有几处解释了大象失业的原因,如第2段的第2句“a nation that no longer needs it (Thai elephant)”及最后一段的最后一句“the elephant’s role as a beast of burden declined”等。
选项A是对这些解释的一个基本概括。
选项B中westernized和neglect虽在文章中出现,但选项B只是对想像的描述,不能解释大象“失业”的原因。
选项C来自第2段最后一句话,但这句话只能说明大象不再受重视,不能作为大象“失业”的理由。
选项D原文未提及,而且,从第3、4段可以看出:大象的数量急剧下降,谈不上“太多”。
4.[D] 事实细节题。
此题考查的是大象数量变化的情况。
