大学英语四级常考词汇及例句解析(1) 导读：本文大学英语四级常考词汇及例句解析(1)，仅供参考，如果觉得很不错，欢迎点评和分享。 英语四级常考词汇及例句1： 1. aggravate v. 加重;使严重;恶化 这个词的意思就是使某种情况变得更坏，所以他的同义词是worsen，但在写作中使用aggravate显然会比worsen高级许多。 Smoking aggravates his cough. 吸烟使他的咳嗽变得更严重了。 另外，在口语中aggravate也可表示激怒，它是指因他人长时间的反复行为而使人感到不快。 2. alleviate v. 减轻;使……缓和 很明显，这个词跟上面的aggravate是一对反义词，所以背诵时可以对照起来看哦。 She often watches variety show to alleviate pressure. 她经常通过看综艺节目来减轻压力。 3. alternate v./a 交替(的) n. 代替者，候补人员 alternate作名词意思跟substitute类似，但substitute强调某人替代他人或某物的替代作用。 I go to play badminton on alternate 我每隔一个周六就去打羽毛球。 4. ambiguous a. 歧义的;模棱两可的;含糊不清的
它的同义词有vague，indefinite等。 His ambiguous speech irriate the consumers. 他模棱两可的发言激怒了消费者。 5. amplify v. 扩大(声音);增强;详述 amplify的同义词有很多，比如broaden，intensify，expand，augment等。其名词形式是amplification，表示扩大。amplifier则表示扩音器。 The president intends to amplify the company. 总裁打算扩大公司规模。 6. analogy n. 类比;类似，相似 by analogy There are a lot of analogies in the development of Japan and America. 日本和美国在发展中有很多相似之处。 7. anonymous a. 匿名的 跟这个词结构类似的词有synonymous(同义的)，antonymous(反义的)，在记忆的时候一定要分清楚哦。 An anonymous letter was sent to the Congress. 有人给国会寄了封匿名信。 8. applaud v. 鼓掌; 赞许;拍手喝彩 表示“赞扬，称赞”的词有好几个，我们来看看他们的区别。 applaud 尤指对出色的表演或高尚的行为等的大声叫好，热烈鼓掌。 praise 普通用词，指用言语或其他方式表示赞扬。 commend 正式用词，支队某人的具体功绩或重大成就表示嘉奖。 compliment 侧重客气和礼貌，有时含恭维之意。

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .

大学英语四级单选题练习 1. Nowadays, cycling, along with jogging and swimming, _______ as one of the best all-round forms of exercise. A. regard B. is regarded C. are regarded D. regards 【答案】B 解析：句意：现在骑自行车，慢跑和游泳被认为是最全面的锻炼方式之一。根据动词短语regard...as...把...看作...和句意确定应该用被动语态排除A和D，再根据主语部分是由介词短语along with连接的三个动名词做主语，应该谓语动词应该就前一致，即用单数，排除C，故选B。 2. Thanks for your directions to the house; we wouldn't have found it ___. A. nowhere B. however C. otherwise D. instead 【答案】C 解析：句意：感谢你告诉我们怎么去那栋房子。要不然那时我们可找不到的。由后句情态动词完成否定式wouldn’t have found可知是对过去发生情况的一种反面虚拟。Otherwise 要不然，因此C选项正确。Nowhere没什么地方;however然而;instead代替均不符合题意。 3. What was so _____ about Jasmine Westland's victory was that she came first in the marathon bare-footed. A. awful B. essential C. impressive D. obvious 【答案】C 解析：句意：关于Jasmine Westland的胜利我们印象很深的就是她光脚获得了马拉松的第一。awful表示“可怕的，敬畏的”;essential表示“根本的”;impressive表示“印象深刻的”;obvious表示“明显的”，故选C。 此句是what引导的主语从句，这是一个长句，what was so _____ about Jasmine Westland’s victory是主语，was that 构成系表结构，联系题干的意思“她光脚获得了马拉松
