A. Regarding
B. Whatever
C. In so far as
D. No mater
选[B]
A. regarding, 作介词，相当于concerning或with regard to, 意思是formal, a word
used especially in letters or speeches to introduce the subject you are writing or talking about。如：The report raises a number of questions regarding food safety.
B. Whatever后可加名词，可不加名词；可引导名词从句，可引导让步状语从
句；引导让步状语从句，相当于no matter what。同类的有whoever, whomever, whenever, wherever, etc.如：Help yourself to whatever you want. (名词从句) I’m willing to pay whatever price you ask. (名词从句)
Whatever I suggest, he always disagrees. (Whatever=No matter what)
The building must be saved, whatever the cost. (Whatever=No matter what) C. in so far as, formal to the degree that:
The research suggests that the drug will be successful, in so far as one can draw conclusions from such a small sample size.
D. no matter后应跟Wh-, 引导让步状语从句。
译文：―不管作家综合使用几种创作技巧，所有的故事—从最简洁的逸闻趣事到最长的长篇小说—都会有个故事情节‖。
12. She followed the receptionist down a luxurious corridor to a closed door, ______the woman gave a quick knock before opening it.
A. wherein
B. on which
C. but when
D. then
选[B]
Gave a quick knock和a closed door之间，要用介词on或at, 这里是非限定定语从句，指物，介词后要用which。
译文：―她随接待员走过一段装饰豪华的走廊，来到一扇紧闭的大门。她急促地敲门后，才推开‖。
13. Ms Ennah is one of the first Palestinian _________with seven years’ racing experience.
A. woman drivers
B. women driver
C. women drivers
D. woman driver
选【C】。
One of 限定名词复数。不选D。
名词作定语修饰名词，一般是只把后面名词变成复数，如a school bus—school buses, 但是由man和woman作定语修饰名词，man和woman连同后面的名词都要变成复数，如a man doctor—men doctors, a woman officer—women officers.
译文：―恩娜女士是那些有七年赛车经验的第一批巴勒斯坦女司机之一‖。
14. ―I wondered if I could have a word with you.‖ The past tense used in the sentence refers to a________.
A. past event for exact time reference
B. present event for tentativeness
C. present event for uncertainty
D. past event for politeness
选[B]
A.过去事件指涉准确的过去时间；
B.现在事件表试探；
C.现在事件表不确定；
D.过去事件表礼貌。
本题I wondered没有过去意味，表现在，口气委婉些，只能在B和C中选，试比较：
(1)
1）to think about something that you are not sure about and try to guess what is true, what will happen etc
wonder if/whether
I wonder if I’ll recognize Philip af ter all these years.
2）I wonder if/whether spoken used to ask politely for something SYN may I :
I wonder if I might have a drink?
3）I was wondering if/whether
a) spoken used to ask someone politely to help you :
I was wondering if I could borrow your car?
b) used to ask someone politely if they would like to do something :
I was wondering if you’d like to come to dinner.
4）to doubt or question whether something is true:
wonder if/whether
Sometimes I wonder if he’s got any sense at all! （LDOCE,词条wonder）(2) The ATTITUDINAL PAST, used with verbs expressing volition or mental state, reflects the tentative attitude of the speaker, rather than past time. In the following pairs, both the present and past tenses refer to a present state of mind, but the latter is somewhat more polite:
. Do/Did you want to see me now?
I wonder/wondered if you could help us. (Quirk et al. 1985:188)
从上面的例句和释义中可以看出，wondered或was wondering表示现在事件。表达―不确定‖（uncertainty）是―怀疑是否是真实的‖，本句没有这个意思。所以选[B].
从严格意义上讲，应该是―现在事件表礼貌‖。但本题[D]是―过去事件表礼貌‖。译文：―我想可否和你聊聊‖。
15. ―If I were you, I would not wait to propose to her.‖ The subjunctive mood in the sentence is used to ___________.
A. alleviate hostility
B. express unfavorable feelings
C. indicate uncertainty
D. make a suggestion

16. ―It’s a shame that the city official should have gone back on his word.‖ The modal auxiliary SHOULD expresses________.
A. obligation
B. disappointment
C. future in the past
D. tentative
选[B]
A.表义务；
B. 表失望；
C.表过去将来；
D.表试探性.
Go back on sth: not do something that you promised or agreed to do,食言，不信守承诺
译文：―真丢人，那个市政官员居然不信守承诺‖。

A. having been created

C. to have been created
D. to be created

只能在C和D中选，即只能选不定式。
先有―微生物或细菌形成结构体‖，后才被世人知晓，故选C。

2017 年12 月大学英语四级考试真题答案与详解（第3 套） Part I Writing 审题思路： 近年来关于医患关系问题的讨论非常热烈，学生对这一话题并不陌生。对于如何处理好医患关系（h ow to best handle the relationship between doctors and patients）可以从宏观角度进行讨论，如政府应该如何做；也可以从微观角度入手，即医生和患者应该怎么做，从而进一步转化成人与人之间的相处之道，如理解、信任等，再结合医患关系讨论即可。这样处理，相对前者要简单许多。当然，考生可以根据自己的认知和英语水平等实际情况，使自己的文章最大可能地出彩。 高分范文： Mutual Understanding Is Most Important When we talk about the relationship between doctors and patients, what comes into my mind is generally negative news. However, I believe there is a way for doctors and patients to get along harmoniously—that is mutual understanding. On the one hand, patients are helpless and worried when they go to hospital. So doctor’s attitude or response is critically important for them and their family. On the other hand, doctors have to face so many patients every day that they even have no time to take a rest. Such a high intensity of work could drive a man crazy. Thus, if they can stand in each other’s shoes, most problems could be solved. Otherwise, a doctor’s brief conclusion about the condition of patients might be regarded as cold blood and result in conflicts. Nowadays, much effort has been made to ease the tension of doctor-patient relationship. But I think the most effective one is mutual understanding and trust. 全文翻译： 相互理解最重要当我们谈论医患关系时，进入我脑海的多是负面新闻。然而，我相信医生和患者是可以做到和谐相处的，那就 是靠相互理解。一方面病人到医院看病的时候是无助的、忧虑的。因此，医生的态度或反馈对他们及其家人而言至关重要。另 一方面，医生每天要面对太多病人，以至于连休息的时间都没有。这种高强度的工作会把人逼疯。因此，如果他们能够站在对方的立场上思考问题，大多数问题就会迎刃而解。否则，医生对患者病情的简短结论可能会被患者认为是冷血，从而导致冲突。 当今社会为了缓和医患关系已经做出了很多努力。但是，我认为最有效的办法就是相互理解与信任。 Part ⅢReading Comprehension Section A 全文翻译： 众所周知，当提到（26）接触STEM（科学、技术、工程学、数学）课程时，公共教育体系存在巨大的空白。一个名为多丽·罗伯茨的教育者决心做些什么改变这一体系。多丽在高中教了11 年的工程学。她注意到，各个（27）等级的公共教育体系都存在着优质STEM 教育的巨大空白。她说，“在发现缺少数学、科学、工程学课程后，我创办了‘儿童工程学（EFK）’，让我的学生可以（28）报名。” 她决定开办一项课外活动，孩子们可以（29）参与以STEM 为基础的竞赛。该社团很快发展壮大，成员达到180 人，参加的孩子们获得了好几个州的（30）冠军，这时她决定全身心的投入到发展和（31）开发该课程中。全球企业EFK 由此诞生了。 多丽一开始在弗吉尼亚州自己的家里运营EFK，而后扩展到（32）当地的娱乐中心。如今，EFK 在美国32 个州及21 个国家（33）经营着超过144 家分公司。销售额已经从2014 年的500 万美元翻倍至2015 年的1，000 美元， 而且2016 年计划新开设25 家分公司。EFK 网站上写道，“我们国家（34）毕业的工程师并不够。我们的理念是从小就启迪孩子们，让他们理解工程师是一个伟大的（35）职业。” 详解详析： 26.答案：G）exposure 详解：名词辨析题。空格之前有固定表达when it comes to，其中to 是介词，故此处应填入名词或动名词。本句

The key to integrity is consistency--not only setting high personal standards for oneself (honesty, responsibility, respect for others, fairness) but also living up to those standards each day. One who has integrity is bound by and follows moral and ethical standards even when making life's hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation. What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disappointed in ourselves and ashamed. But a lapse of integrity also affects our relationships with others. Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional. Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus, integrity must be one of our most important goals. Risky Business We are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then exploring ways to avoid similar problems in the future. Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can't see the risks we're taking, we can't make responsible choices. To identify risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn't know the rules about plagiarism may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit, or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as required. But the fact that such a violation is "unintentional" does not excuse the misconduct. Ignorance is not a defense. "But Everybody Does It" Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to fool themselves about the risks they're taking by using excuses: "Everyone else does it," "I'm not hurting anyone," or "I really need this grade." Excuses can get very elaborate: "I know I'm looking at another's exam, even though I'm supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that's not cheating because I'm just checking my answers, not copying." We must be honest about our actions, and avoid excuses. If we fool ourselves into believing we're not doing anything wrong, we can't see the real choice we're making--and that leads to bad decisions. To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. Would you feel proud or ashamed of your actions? If you'd rather hide your actions, that's a good indication that you're taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself.
