51.正确答案为A)。如果你把情况跟你的律师讲清楚了的话,他给你的建议要比我的建议

好多了。本题考查虚拟语气。与现在或将来事实相反的非真实条件句,条件从句的谓语动词用过去式(explained),主句谓语用should/would+动词原形。因此,正确答案就是A)would be able to。

52.正确答案为A)。虽然他是社会党人士,可他很少同意工人阶级的意见。按照逻辑,一个socialist是应该同情工人阶级的处境的,因此我们就此可以排除选项C)和D)。若用A),本句就为转折状语从句,如果用B)则为让步状语从句。显然,前者更合题义,即“虽然他是社会党人士,可他很少同意工人阶级的意见”。要使用even if,从句中使用虚拟语气更合适。

53.正确答案为B)。他这样的话激怒了会场上的每一个人。这里such…that/as是固定搭配,意思是“如此…以致”,用于给出理由或作解释,其中such为代词。so as to do sth也是固定说法,但表示目的。例如,I came earlier today so as to make everything ready before everyone else comes。

54.正确答案为B)。James已经到了,直到昨天我才知道他要来的。本句考查的是进行时表示将来。因为文中讲的是自己实现不知道James要来这一事实,所以时用过去进行时。具有相同用法的还有go, leave等.

55.正确答案为D)。我一直以来都清楚作为一个公民的责任,将来也会一直如此。这句话的意思是自己“一直”清楚作为一个公民的责任,而且“将来也会一直如此”。所以要用用现在完成时和一般将来时,即I have been and always will be。表示”从说话时刻之前一直…以及永远将…故,D)为正确答案。

56.正确答案为A)。由于燃料供应量有限,而许多人又很浪费,我们必须在家安某种太阳能设备。这里的some不是表示“一些”,而是表示an unknown or unstated one相当于a certain,即“某一,某个,某种”,表示某种不确定的事物。因此,选项B)和D)可以排除。type of后加名词单数形式,即使是可数名词前面也不加a/an.

57.正确答案为C)。我是1984年去那里的,那是我唯一一次在两天内完成的旅行。从本句的含义看,动词显然应该用过去时,首先排除A)。其次,be able to do表示客观做成某事的可能,符合题意。而can do表示主观愿望,所以可以排除。must have done表示推断,不合题意。

58.正确答案为B)。我知道他没通过最后一次考试,但他绝对不笨。固定用法anything but的意思是not at all或者for from,即“绝对不,一点也不”。而nothing but的意思是only,即“只不过,正是”。Something but不是固定说法。根据题义,应该选B)。

59.正确答案为B)。你知道Tom的哥哥吗,与Tom比起来,他可是个更好的运动员。本题考查形容词比较级。Of + 名词,相当于其对应的形容词,与be more of + 名词+ than构成比较级。be more of…than…比…更像是…60.正确答案为B)。那不是他第一次出卖我们了,我想是时候我们采取强烈行动对付他了。句型It/That is the first/s econd time …中动词原则上要使用完成词。例如,This is the first time I have been in China。本句中that was表明事情发生在过去,所以用过去完成时had betrayed。It?s (high) time … 句型中要使用一般过去时也是常识。因此,唯有B)符合题义。

61.正确答案为A)。今年举行大选的机率有多大呢?这是一个比较简单的题。只要注意到所填入的成分作介词of 的宾语,就可以排除B)、C)和D)。there be的非限定形式做介词宾语时有两种情形,在for后面一般用for there to be, 其他介词一般为介词+there being. 这是专四常考的结构.

62.正确答案为D)。会议推迟了,因为我们拒绝在John不在的情况下开会。动词object to后接名词或者v-ing表示“反对,抗议”,因此排除A)和C)。B)为被动,所以不合题义。

63. 正确答案为C)。如果你对你的打印机还有什么问题,请与商家联系,寻求建议。Should位置提前到句首,表示事情不大可能发生,即Should sb do sth用作条件状语,表示与将来相反的可能性,主句应用…could/would do…因此C)符合题义。if可以看出。选项A)if ... had是虚拟语气,不合题义,而D)的时态不对。

64.正确答案为C)。他向我借钱,我借给他了,但是条件是下一周他要归还我。On condition that和only if含义相同,义为“倘若”,但是only if用于句首,并且主谓要倒装。所以,正确答案为C)。

65.正确答案为C)。孩子们逃课有不同的原因。本题正确答案为C),其中的it指代前面所说的stay away from school。

66. 正确答案为B)。你干嘛盯着它?—“我以前从来没看到过那种树。“那种树”:that kind of.

67.正确答案为D)。虽然还有不少问题,但明年的这个时候我们就熬到头了。固定用语light at the end of the tunnel 的意思是signs of the end of something which has been difficult or unpleasant(就要看到转机的曙光)。

68.正确答案为B)。我们知道他有压力,所以不在乎他脾气不好。从题义来看,他有压力所以脾气不好。因此首先就可以排除选项A)excitement。be under stress的含义是“在压力之下”,符合题义。另外两个选项crisis和nervousness 均不跟介词under搭配。

69.正确答案为B)。导演用手势示意演员们到下一个拍摄地。move on 的意思是to continue a journal(继续前行);move off意思是to leave a place(离开,出发),而move along则为to move further towards the front or back of sth(向前/后移动)。根据该句的含义,导演示意演员们离开去下一个拍摄点,所以只有B)move off符合题义。

70.正确答案为C)。他的想法被他的同事一致指责为不切实际。从该句中的动词condemned 就可以看出这里应该使用一个贬义词,而四个选项中只有impractical(不切实际的)符合这一点。另外,imaginative意思是“想象力丰富”,ingenious含义为“灵巧的,巧妙的”,而theoretical的意思是“理论(上)的”。

71.正确答案为D)。成千上万的人走上街头,抗议当地政府穿过田地建铁路。四个选项中的contradict,counter和protest都有“反对”的意思,但是唯有protest后面可以跟against。Contradict含义为“反驳,抗辩”,为及物动词;counter 义为“反击,反对”,也是及物动词。

72.正确答案为A)。大部分护士是女性,但在医学界的高层,女性仍是少数。be in a (the) minority是固定说法,意思是“占少数”; rarity含义为“稀有,罕见(的事)”,但不可以和介词in如此搭配;scarcity跟shortage为同义词,含义为“不足,缺乏”,也不用于这一结构。Minimum为“最小值”。

73.正确答案为B)。Johnson教授从明年一月份退休。take effect含义为“起作用,开始奏效”,符合题义;put/bring sth into effect意思是“落实计划”,但若要在本句中使用,显然要使用被动语态。Carry into effect和have effect均为不正确搭配。

74.正确答案为A)。总统解释说税收的目的是为政府开支提供资金。其中finance为“向…提供资金”之义,expand 为“扩展”,enlarge为“扩大”,而budget为“预算”。所以,根据意义,就可以看出正确答案为A)。

75.正确答案为C)。夏季,这个山区也一样酷暑难耐。这几个词虽然在含义上有类似之处,但其搭配却不一样。Intense 意思是“强烈的、剧烈的”,经常跟heat和pain等连用,可分别翻译为“酷热/暑”和“剧痛”。Intensive为“密集的、集中的”,常跟course和fighting搭配,即“强化课程”和“激烈的战斗”。Concentrated则常常跟表示液体的名词连用,意思是“浓缩的”,如concentrated orange juice(浓缩橙汁)。Extensive是intensive的反义词,意思是“广泛的,涉及面广的”,例如extensive English course(泛读英语课程)。因此,正确答案为C)。

76.正确答案为A)。此处严禁拍照,因为拍照可能会破坏这些珍贵的溶洞绘画。根据词义就可判断这个题的答案:forbidden义为“禁止”,rejected为“拒绝”,excluded为“排除在外”,而denied义为“否定”。可见,正确答案为A)。77.正确答案为C)。Brown先生的情况非常严重,他能否挺过来仍是个问题。四个选项中,pull through的意思是to live in spite of illness or wounds(从疾病中活下来);pull back意思是retreat, withdraw(撤回);pull up是“使…停下”;而pull out则为“撤离”之义。显然,正确答案为pull through。

78.正确答案为D)。从九十年代初开始,很多工商业领域的一个发展趋势是:产品和服务都可以量身定做,现货供应,其目的在于为顾客而不是为厂商提供更多的便利。从句子的意思可以看出,on-demand, always-available products and services的目的是为顾客提供cconvenience(方便、便利),而不是给他们更多的利润(benefit),或者可用性、实用性(availability),或者匹配性(suitability)。

79.正确答案为C)。牧师走进教堂时,在胸前画了个十字。这几个词的含义的区别是:mark指在东西上面留下来的“记号、符号、痕迹”,signal指发出的“信号”,sign则指表示某种意义的动作或者声音等,gesture 的意思是“手势”。Make the sign of the cross意思是“在胸前画十字(以祝福,祈祷)”。

80.正确答案为B)。这间宽敞的房间陈设简单,没有多少家具。Sparsely的意思是“稀少地、稀疏地”,例如a sparsely populated area(人口稀少的地区)。本句中的a sparsely furnished room意思是“陈设简单的房间”。其他三个词都不用来指人口等的密度小。所以,正确答案为sparsely。

2006年

51. __dull he may be, he is certainly a very successful top executive.

A Although

B whatever

C As

D However

正确答案为D). however引导的让步状语从句,意思是无论(怎么样),从句需要倒装,即However+adj/adv+主+谓. However dull he may be=Dull as he may be. although和as引导让步状语从句,指”尽管”, whatever用来引导名词从句,意思是: 无论什么. 句意: 无论他多么地令人感到乏味.他还是一位非常成功的顶级行政人员.

A stopped

B had to stop

C shall stop

D stop

正确答案为A). stopped. It is (high) time的意思是到了做…的时候了. 从句中一般用过去时构成虚拟语气. 此句型为历年专四考试常考句型.

55 The student said there were a few points in the essay he __ impossible to comprehend.

A has found

B was finding

C had found

D would find

正确答案为C). had found. 考察定语从句的时态. 定语从句中的”找到问题”这一动作发生先于主句动词said,所以用had found构成过去完成时.

A ought to have

B must have

C may have

D should have

正确答案为C). may. so that引导目的状语从句,表示为了让每个人都有机会听到讲座. 其他选项均不符合题意. ought to have done=should have done本应该做而实际未做. must have done表示对过去的肯定猜测.

2008年

51. Our association, which has consistently pressed for greater employment opportunities for the disabled, will publish ____ proposals in the near future.

A. their

B. our

C. his

D. its

答案:D. 考查物主代词。逗号与逗号之间的是作为插入语,是association的定语从句,在此association作为一个整体概念出现,且其定语从句中也是用单数谓语动词has pressed,后面对应的物主代词也应该是单数概念的,故选D。句意:我们的协会一直在敦促给残疾人更多的就业机会,并且讲在最近公布建议书。publish公布,proposal提议;建议,press for敦促;迫切要求。

52. Had Judy been more careful on the maths exam, she ____ much better results now.

A. would be getting

B. could have got

C. must get

D. would get

答案:D.考查虚拟语气(错综时间虚拟语气)。从句部分是对过去的虚拟,省略了if,因此出现倒装,但主句部分出现了明显的时间标志词now,可见是对现在的虚拟,故应该是would/could/should/might do的形式,而get为瞬间动词,不用进行时,故选D。句意:如果朱迪数学考试时更认真一些,她现在成绩就会好多了。

53. Nine is to three _____ three is to one.

A. when

B. that

C. which

D. what

答案:D。这是专四考试频考知识点了:A is to B what C is to D,由what引导的方式状语从句。句意:9相对于3等同于3相对于1。

A. for which

B. for that

C. in that

D. in which

答案:C。这也是专四考试频考的知识点之一:in that引导原因状语从句。for that不能引导从句,A和D都引导定语从句。句意:人之所以有别于动物在于他们能思考,会说话。

55. ____ he wanted to go out with his friends at the weekend, he had to stay behind to finish his assignment.

A. Much though

B. Much as

C. As much

D. Though much

答案:B. 考查由much as引导的让步状语从句,意为“尽管”=although。而as much意为“同样地,这样地”。A和D 不是固定搭配。句意:尽管他想周末和朋友出去,却不得不留下完成作业。

56. I enjoyed myself so much ____ I visited my friends in Paris last year.

A. when

B. which

C. that

D. where

答案:A. 考查时间状语从句。四个选项都可以引导定语从句,但这里没有后面从句修饰的先行词,故出现的不是定语从句。从两部分之间的关系来看,后面部分提到了时间段,因此填入when,成为时间状语从句。句意:去年我去巴黎拜访朋友时玩得非常开心。

57. Which of the following is INCORRECT?

A. All his lectures were boring.

B. Half his money was gone.

C. Her few friends are all fond of dancing.

D. He invited many his friends to the party.

答案:D. 本题是今年专四试卷中出现的新题型,对英语专业同学的语法知识提出了一个更高的要求。考查的是限定词位置的用法。英语中的限定词可分为前位限定词、中位限定词和后位限定词,一个名词前的限定词只能按照前位、中位、后位的顺序出现,其中两个前位或两个中位词不能同时出现在同一个名词前。many是后位限定词,而his是中位限定词,与限定词排序规则有悖,故D为答案。A选项中all是前位,his是中位,符合规则;B中half是前位,his是中位限定词;C中her是中位,few是后位限定词。

58. When you have finished with that book, don't forget to put it back on my desk, _____?

D. won't you

答案:C. 考查的是反义疑问句。复合句的反义疑问句应反问主句部分,本句主句是否定祈使句don’t forget to…,故祈使部分用will you。句意:你读完那本书后,别忘了把它放回我的书桌上,好吗?

59. What does "He wisely refused to spend his money" mean?

A. It was wise of him to refuse to spend his money.

B. He refused to spend his money in a wise manner.

C. He was short of money and didn't want to buy anything.

D. He refused, in a wise manner, to spend his money.

答案:A. 本题属于“句意理解题”,也是伴随着57题,作为08专四的新题型,着实让考生出乎意料。本题关键在于分析句中的wisely是修饰refused的,还是修饰refused to spend his money的,可以直接修饰refuse的副词有很多,如firmly,flatly,gracefully,politely等,但是当refuse后接动词不定式短语的时候,副词修饰的就是refuse to do 这个动宾结构了。如:resolutely refuse to answer坚决拒绝回答。可见题干中句子的含义是:他明智地拒绝花钱(这件事情),这表示他拒绝花钱这件事是很明智的,故选A。

60. They stood chatting together as easily and naturally as ____.

A. it could be

B. could be

C. it was

D. was

答案:A. as…as one can表示“尽可能地”。A和B的区别就在于主语不同,B是they could be的省略形式,因为主句中出现的动词是stood,不是be动词,因此该选项中的动词与前面不符;it could be表示的意思是“在可能的情况下”,

it指代前面提到的内容。句意:他们站在那儿尽可能地随意聊天。

61. The following are all correct responses to "Who told the news to the teacher?" EXCEPT

A. Jim did this.

62. Quality is ____ counts most.

A. which

B. that

C. what

D. where

答案:C. 句中is后为表语从句,该从句中缺少主语,that引导名词性从句时不做成分,where为地点状语,which 引导非限制性定语从句,故这里选what(做双重身份:表语从句引导词和表语从句中的主语)

67. On the road motorists should be aware of cyclists and be ____ towards them.

A. considerable

A. must have gone

B. should have gone

C. ought to have gone

D. could have gone

答案A. 考查情态动词。must用在肯定句中表示较有把握的推测,意为“一定”。当must后接完成时的时候,表示对已发生的事情的推测。根据句意,此处应该为有把握的推测,故选A。句意:南希去上班了,但她的车还在那儿。她一定是坐公交车去的。

53. He feels that he is not yet to travel abroad.

A. too strong

B. enough strong

C. so strong

D. strong enough

答案. D. 考查惯用结构。enough to do sth.是惯用结构,enough前必须有其他形容词或副词。句意:他感到自己还没有强壮到可以去国外旅行。

54. After seemed an endless wait, it was his turn to enter the personnel manager's office.

A. that

B. it

C. what

D. there

答案C. 考查宾语从句。本句中after后需要一个宾语从句,该宾语从句缺主语,因此需要一个作主语的连接代词。只有what可以在宾语从句中充当主语,故选C。句意:在经过似乎漫长的等待后,轮到他进入人事经理的办公室了。

55. Fool Jerry is, he could not have done such a thing.

A. who

B. as

C. like

D. that

答案. B. 考查状语从句。as用作连此时,和though的意义相同,而从句中的实义动词或系动词后的形容词需提前。本句中fool是形容词,位于句首,符合as引导让步状语从句的使用条件,故选B。句意:杰瑞再愚蠢也不可能做出这样的事儿。

56. Which of the following sentences is INCORRECT?

A. They each have two tickets.

B. They cost twenty yuan each.

C. Each they have bought the same book.

D. They were given two magazines each.

答案. C. 本题为句意表达题。不定代词each在句中可以作主语、宾语、定于和同位语,用作同位语时,each可以用在代词之后。选项A、B、D均符合语法要求,故选C。

57. She seldom goes to the theatre, ?

A. doesn't she

B. does she

C. would she

D. wouldn't she

答案. B. 考查反意疑问句。本句中含有否定含义的副词seldom,故反意时用肯定形式does she。选项A的not与seldom 矛盾;选项C和D中的would与句中的goes不吻合。故选B。句意:她很少去剧院,是吗?

58. Dr Johnson is head of the department, an expert in translation.

A. or

B. either

C. but

D. and

答案. D. 本题为句意理解题。从句意可以判断,这里的head of the department和an expert in translation说的都是Dr. Johnson,可见两部分之间是并列关系,故选D。句意:约翰逊博士是系主任,翻译专家。

59. When one has good health, should feel fortunate.

A. you

B. they

C. he

D. we

答案. C. 考查代词。本句为主从复合句,其中时间状语从句的主语为one,因此主句中对应的代词应该用he,故选C。句意:一个人身体健康时应该感到幸运。

60. It is necessary that he the assignment without delay.

A. hand in

B. hands in

C. must hand in

D. has to hand in

答案. A. 考查虚拟语气。形容词为necessary,important,impossible,strange,natural,essential等时,在“It + be + 形容词或过去分词+ 主语从句”结构中,主语从句要用虚拟语气,其中的should可以省略。故选A。句意:他必须按时交作业。

61. In the sentence "It's no use waiting for her", the italicized phrase is

A. the object

B. an adverbial

C. a complement

D. the subject

答案. D. 本题为句子成分题。在It’s no use waiting for her中,it为形式主语,句子真正的主语是动名词短语waiting for her,故选D。A意为“宾语”,B意为“状语”,C意为“补语”。

62. Which of the following sentences is INCORRECT?

A. All his lectures are very interesting.

B. Half their savings were gone.

C. Many his friends came to the party.

D. Both his sisters are nurses.

答案. C. 考查限定词排序。限定词的相互搭配关系为:前位+中位+后位。四个选项中,只有C中的Many his为“后位+中位”,不符合限定词的相互搭配关系,故选C。

63. Which of the following sentences has an object complement?

A. The directors appointed John manager.

B. I gave Mary a Christmas present.

C. You have done Peter a favour.

D. She is teaching children English.

答案. A. 本题为句子成分题。宾语后面加上一个词或一个短语用来对宾语的特征、状态等情况进行补充说明,这个成分称之为宾语补足语。它和前面的宾语一起形成“复合宾语”,宾语和宾语补足语之间存在一种逻辑上的主谓关系。选项A中的manager和宾语John之间存在逻辑主谓关系,故为宾语补足语。而选项B、C、D中的动词后面都是双宾语。

64. Which of the following words can NOT be used to complete "We've seen the film "?

A. before

B. recently

C. lately

D. yet

答案. D. 本题为句意表达题,考查的是副词作状语的用法。选项D中的yet用于否定句和疑问句,而原句为陈述句,故选D。

65. should not become a serious disadvantage in life and work.

A. To be not tall

B. Not being tall

C. Being not tall

D. Not to be tall

答案. B. 考查非谓语动词。本句中缺失主语。动名词短语作主语时,通常用于表示一件已知的事或经验。不定式短语通常用来表示一件未完成的事或目的。本句中“长得不高”是一件已知的事情,所以选择动名词短语作主语,表示否定意义,not要放在动名词前面,故选B。句意:长得不高不该成为生活和工作中的一个严重不足之处。

66. Due to personality , the two colleagues never got on well in work.

A. contradiction

B. conflict

C. confrontation

D. competition

答案. B. 考查名词辨析。contradiction意为“矛盾”,指比较抽象的,在观点、意见上的矛盾;conflict意为“冲突”,比矛盾强烈,且可以是针锋相对的,公开的。由句中的never got on well in work可以判断,两人积怨已深,personality conflict指“性格矛盾”,故选B。句意:由于性格冲突,这两个同事在工作上从未相处融洽过。

67. During the summer vacation, kids are often seen hanging in the streets.

A. about

B. on

C. over

D. out

答案. D. 考查固定搭配。hang out意为“出外玩儿、闲逛”;hang about意为“逗留,徘徊”;hang on意为“握住不放,坚持,不挂断”;hang over意为“延续,威胁”。故选D。句意:暑假时,孩子们经常被看到在街上闲玩儿。

68. There were 150 at the international conference this summer.

A. spectators

B. viewers

C. participants

D. onlookers

答案. C. 本题为名词辨析题。spectator意为“观众”;viewer意为“电视观众、检查员”;participants意为“参与者”;onlooker意为“旁观者”。句中提到的是international conference,显然应该指参会者,故选C。句意:今年夏天,有150人出席该国际会议。

69. School started on a cold day in February.

A. severe

B. bitter

C. such

D. frozen

答案. B. 本题为形容词辨析题。这里需要一个副词来修饰形容词cold。只有选项B中的bitter是副词,有“极其”之意,a bitter cold day表示“极其寒冷的一天”,故选B。severe意为“严重的”,frozen意为“冰冻的”,故排除。若用such 的话,应为such a cold day,故排除。句意:学校在二月份的一个酷寒天开学了。

70. In the face of unexpected difficulties, he demonstrated a talent for quick, action.

A. determining

B. defensive

C. demanding

D. decisive

答案. D. 本题为形容词辨析题。decisive意为“果断的”,句中的quick和decisive构成近义关系,符合语义衔接关系,故选D。determining是determine(下决心)的现在分词,不能用作形容词;defensive意为“防御的,保卫的“;demanding 意为“要求高的,吃力的”。均不符合句意,故排除。句意:面对意想不到的困难,他显示了迅速果断采取行动的才能。

71. The team has been working overtime on the research project______.

A. lately

B. just now

C. late

D. long ago

答案. A. 本题为副词辨析题。Lately意为“近来”,是用于完成时的一个时间状语,与句中的现在完成进行时吻合,故选A。句意:该小组最近一直加班进行该项目研究。

72. Because of the economic crisis, industrial output in the region remained________.

A. motionless

B. inactive

C. stagnant

D. immobile

答案. C. 本题为形容词辨析题。motionless意为“不动的,静止的”,immobile意为“不动的,静止的,固定的”,inactive 意为“不活动的,怠惰的”。stagnant意为“不景气的”,指“状况不好,没有进步”,尤其是指经济状况不好,符合本句语境,故选C。句意:由于经济危机,该地区的工业生产停滞不前。

73. The police had difficulty in the fans from rushing on to the stage to take photos with the singer.

A. limiting

B. restraining

C. confining

D. restricting

答案. B. 本题为动词辨析题。limit,restrict和confine为近义词。limit一般指事先确定空间、时间或数量的极限;restrict 意为“限制”,指限制某物的大小、数量等。confine侧重施加不可逾越的限制,有时暗示束缚、囚禁。restrain意为“阻止,抑制”,通常与from搭配,表示“阻止某人做某事”,符合此处语义和语法关系,故选B。句意:警察经常很难阻止歌迷冲到舞台上和歌手照相。

74. Joan is in the dorm, putting the final to her speech.

A. details

B. remarks

C. comments

D. touches

答案. D. 考查固定搭配。put the final touches to为固定搭配,意为“做最后的修饰,完成最

后的细节”,其他几词均无此搭配关系,故选D。句意:琼在宿舍里,对演讲稿进行最后的修改。

75. His in gambling(赌博)has eventually brought about his ruin.

A. indulgence

B. habit

C. action

D. engagement

答案. A. 考查固定搭配。indulgence意为“沉迷,沉溺于”,与in搭配使用。本句中的沉迷赌博和后面的ruin构成因果关系,故选A。句意:对于赌博的沉迷让他最终沉沦。engagement订婚,婚约;约会。

76. The teacher told the students to stay in the classroom and they did_________.

A. absolutely

B. accidentally

C. accordingly

D. accurately

答案. C. 本题为副词辨析题。absolutely意为“绝对地,完全地”;accidentally意为“偶然地,意外地”;accurately意为“准确地,精确地”。accordingly意为“照着,相应地”,由句中的and可以看出学生并未不听老师的话,故选C。句意:老师告诉学生们待在教室里,学生照做了。

77. You can actually see the deer at close range while driving through that area. The italicized phrase means .

A. clearly

B. very near

C. quickly

D. very hard

答案. B. 考查固定搭配。at close range意为“接近地,近距离地”,故选B。句意:实际上在开车经过那一地区时,你能够近距离地看到鹿。

78. He listened hard but still couldn't what they were talking about.

A. make over

B. make up

C. make upon

D. make out

答案. D. 考查固定搭配。make over意为“转让”;make up意为“补足,构成;化妆”;make upon意为“在…获利,在…上赚钱”。make out意为“理解”,从句中的he listened hard以及but可以判断,后面的结果与listened hard应有的结果不一致,即没听懂,故选D。句意:他仔细听了,但还是没能理解他们在谈论什么。

79. For the advertised position, the company offers a(n) ________salary and benefits package.

A. generous

B. plentiful

C. abundant

D. sufficient

答案. A. 本题为形容词辨析题。plentiful意为“大量的,丰富的”;abundant意为“丰富的,充裕的”,语气比plentiful 强,数量比plentiful多;sufficient意为“足够的”。generous意为“丰富的”,是指larger or more than the usual size or amount”之意,从句意可知,这里是介绍该职位的优厚条件,因此a generous salary是指优厚的薪酬及高福利。故选A。句意:对于广告上的招聘职位,公司提供丰厚的薪水和高福利。

80. As there was no road, the travelers up a rocky slope on their way back.

A. ran

B. hurried

C. scrambled

D. crawled

答案. C. 本题为动词辨析题。crawl意为“爬行”,是指贴地而爬;run意为“奔跑”;hurry意为“匆忙,赶快”。scramble 意为“攀爬”。由于句中提到的是slope,从而可判断此处说的是攀爬,故选C。句意:由于没有路,旅行者在回来的路上爬了一个岩石斜坡。

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite

大学英语四级专项训练——选词填空 (一) Americans are proud of their variety and individualty, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform. Why are uniforms so __1__ in the United States Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more __2__ than civilian(百姓的)clothes. People have become conditioned to __3__ superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to __4__ more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the __5__ of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What an easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to __6__ professional identity(身份)than to step out of uniform Uniforms also have many __7__ benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes. Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of __8__ experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without __9__, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act __10__, on the job at least.

Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can __1__ performance at work and school. Cognitive( 认识派的) researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on __2__ and gifts from others. The latter view has gained many supporters, __3__ among educators. But the careful use of small __4__ rewards speaks creativity in grade school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements( 刺激) indeed __5__inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. “If kids know they’re working f or a reward and can focus on a relatively __6__ task, they show the most creativity,” says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But it’s easy to __7__ creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards.

Protect Your Privacy When Job-hunting Online Identity theft and identity fraud are terms used to refer to all types of crime in which someone wrongfully obtains and uses another person's personal data in some way that involves fraud or deception, typically for economic gain. The numbers associated with identity theft are beginning to add up fast these days. A recent General Accounting Office report estimates that as many as 750.000 Americans are victims of identity theft every year. And thai number may be low, as many people choose not to report the crime even if they know they have been victimized. Identity theft is "an absolute epidemic," states Robert Ellis Smith, a respected author and

大学英语四级模拟题四(含规范标准答案)

大学英语四级模拟题四 Part One Reading Comprehension (2’×10 = 20’) Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Y ou should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow”from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory(呼吸的)diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases. Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility(能见度). There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals are apt(易于的)to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers. Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes(腐蚀)our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control. 1.Air pollution may lead to airplane accidents because .

The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear “sensible shoes” with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference. The motion states: “Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely in appropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Feet bear the burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders. Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints. Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code. More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected.” Nadline Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticized the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace. “I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye,” she said. “If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me. The Trade Union leaders need to get real, stop using obvious sexist tactics by discussing women’s stilettos to divert tension away from Labor chaos.” Michelle Dewberry, a former winner of The Apprentice, said the motion was patronizing(自认为高人一等的). “This is absolutely ridiculous and I think these union officials should be spending their time dealing with more important issues”, she said. “I’m at work in five-inch heels and perfectly able to do my job. Heels are sexy, they boost your confidence and they are empowering to women. I can’t imagine these officials debating a motion about how tightly men should wear their ties. Wearing heels is a personal choice.”
