67指的决不仅仅是青青的草地和高大的树木构成的校园绿色风景，也不仅仅指对校园环境的珍视和爱护，而是指一种环境保护的文化氛围和师生具有的环境素养，以及由此带来的和谐的人文环境和社会绩效。在深入理解概念的基础上，考生还应对“绿色校园”的重要性进行剖析，这时，考生可以从多个角度组织素材，比如从校园的环境问题出发，进而扩展到师生的环境意识对“绿色校园”所产生的长远意义以及为未来环境改善所做的贡献。最后是阐述建设“绿色校园”所要采取的措施。需要注意的就是作文给分的重点在于考生如何用恰当的语言词汇表达自己的思想观点。而不是写得越多，得分就越高。一般分成三个自然段，大概十句话，基本的分布为首段、末段合起来五句或六句，中间段五句或四句，做到结构清楚，重点突出，就可以了。 参考范文 CreatingaGreenCampus Recently,withtheideaofmakingandmaintaining“agreenearth”beingthefocusofthesociety,“greencampus”hasbecomeamoreandmorepopularconceptinuniversitiesorcolleges,which,undoubtedly,willbringusanever-lastingbenefittobothourcampusandoursociety.

69开篇，保证了文章切题。第一段开门见山，强调当今环保理念下构建“绿色校园”的长远意义。第二段，着重讨论“绿色校园”的含义，指出“绿色校园”不仅指校园中的绿化，还指生活在校园中的人们的绿色和环保意识，把校园这个小环境和社会这个大环境结合起来，说理更加深刻。第三段是谈及具体的做法，分一、二、三点进行论述，无疑是使“绿色校园”的理念落在实处。结构完整，首尾呼应，用词准确。关系词的正确使用让句与句之间、段与段之间衔接紧凑，思想表达成熟有深度。 【生动的用词】maintain保持;concept概念;profound长远的;sustainable可持续的;recyclable可循环的。 【丰富的短语】bringbenefitto带来利益;playacrucialrolein发挥关键作用;undertheburdenof在……重负下;cometrue实现;callfor要求。 【多变的句式】 范文中长句、短句、简单句、复杂句交叉使用。不同句型之间的转换，能让阅卷老师更好地了解考生对句子结构的掌握运用，从而获得高分。 避错指导 本次作文在题材上，虽然仍然延续了我们所熟悉校园类话题，但与社会背景有很大关系。刚刚闭幕的哥本哈根世界气候大会使环保减排这个主题成为焦点，在全世界都提倡可持续发展、和谐发展这一背景下的“绿色校园”
70，同时也是一个社会热点话题，这是我们审题时所必须考虑的。另外开篇时，切忌拖泥带水，应直截了当，使阅卷老师对文章主题一目了然。 除正确审题之外，考生还应注意语言的准确运用，不落俗套。不同句型之间转换时，考生应对句子结构全面掌握，避免句式错误造成扣分。 最后，应尽量避免单词拼写错误。本次作文常见的卷面拼写错误如下表： 正确拼写词性及词义错误的拼写 focusn.焦点focuse effectn.影响effection/affect environmentn.环境envirment/invironment burdenn.负担burdon solvev.解决slove seriousa.严肃的serous truea.真的ture societyn.社会soceity theoryn.理论thery 总之，考生在构思和写作过程中要尽可能做到思路完整，恰如其分地选择词汇。毕竟，无错表达才是四级语言表达合格的核心。 能力拓展 【同义词转换】 作文表达除了准确，还要做到句式多变，词汇灵活多样。 1.realize→beawareof意识到

73 从关注白色污染到关注博物馆免费开放，再到绿色校园构建，四级作文命题重点在侧重校园类话题的同时开始向与大学生生活有关的话题转移。由此也凸显了对历年真题分析的重要意义。更多地立足真题，总结规律，切实提高自己语言能力，始终是四级作文备考的根本。 PartⅡReadingComprehension(SkimmingandScanning) 篇章结构核心词汇 1.aidn.①帮助，援助②助手v.帮助，援助 【用】financialaid经济援助;meritaid/Merit-based奖学金;need-basedaid助学金或经济资助;foreignaid外援，对外援助;hearingaid助听器;aidsandappliances用具，设备【搭】inaidto用来帮助，起……作用;leadone’said(to)援助，给予帮助;inaidof作为援助……之用【拓】aidancen.协助，帮助;aidanta.帮助的;aideda.辅助的

81 纽约克林顿市的哈密尔顿学院说它将逐步淘汰奖学金。该规定不会使现有的奖学金得主失去奖学金，助学金制度将从2008年秋天入学的学生开始实行。 并不是所有的大学都提供奖学金;一般来说，淘汰率越高的学校，越不太可能提供奖学金。例如，哈佛大学和普林斯顿大学慷慨地提供了各种助学金，但是许多不符合助学条件的家庭为了上名牌大学不管付多少钱都愿意。 对于规模较小的地方性学院来说，他们只是努力填满空缺，奖学金只是财政收入的重要来源，因为许多奖学金得主仍需支付比奖学金金额更高的学费，而正是这些学费维持大学的运转。 但是对于有排名意识的学校，奖学金已经成为招收一流学生和改善他们的学术效益的一种主要工具。斯基德莫尔大学的经济学家桑迪•波美说，“他们试图购买学生”。 研究表明奖学金存在一种倾向，即大部分奖学金得主不依靠奖学金仍能支付得起学费。 “展望未来，更迫切需要的助学金投资”，汉密尔顿的入学和助学金办公室主任莫尼卡•英泽说。汉密尔顿大学已提供10年的奖学金。在这段时间里，在《美国新闻和世界报导》对最好的文学院的排名中，它从第25名上升到第17名。 奖学金每年帮助了大约75名学生，或大约4%的学生，花费大约为一年1百万美元，“奖学金给我们带来了好处”，英泽说，但“奖学金这种变相优惠学费的做法对不需要经济援助的家庭来说，似乎不妥。”
82 助学金目前仍是学生接受资助的主要方式，包括国家助学金、联邦助学金和机构助学金。但是，从总体上和大学层面上来看，主要由学校和州提供的奖学金增长速度很快。 一项由美国宾州州立大学教授唐纳德•海勒主持的研究报告表明，在1995-96和2003-04年之间，仅就大学的奖学金而言，增加了212%，而助学金增加了47%。至少有15个州也提供奖学金，通常是为了在公立大学中招收优等生。 但是近年来，越来越多的批评已经迫使大学开始减少这种做法。汉密尔顿和其他大学最近的决策可能是“一种迹象，表明人们开始意识到这种破坏性的竞争”，波美说。波美与他人合作，共同发表了一份《大学报告》，对于大学资助不是建立在需要的基础之上表示担忧。 明尼苏达私立大学委员会主席大卫•莱尔德认为，很多私立学校想减少奖学金，但害怕这样做，会使优秀学生流失到他们的竞争对手那里去。 “没有人可以采取单方面行动，”莱尔德说。他正在探索是否能获得联邦反托拉斯法的豁免，以使会员大学可以讨论如何共同降低奖学金。“这是一个跑得很快的旋转木马，没有大学相信他们能承受摆脱木马束缚的风险。” 一个复杂因素就是，奖学金已经在不符合助学金条件的中产阶级家庭中变得很受欢迎，结果许多家庭都依靠它。并且，随着学费不断增加，奖助学金之间的界限也变得模糊了。 这是阿勒格尼大学并不打算完全取消奖学金的理由之一。
83 “我们仍然相信对成绩优异者进行奖励的效用，好学生很重视奖学金”，阿勒格尼大学负责招生的副校长斯科特•弗利达霍夫说。 位于亚特兰大的艾莫利大学以拥有47亿美元的捐赠而自豪。同时该校拟采取新政策。今年，该大学宣布将取消特困生贷款，同时对中产阶级家庭的贷款进行限额，但它将扩大其已有28年历史的奖学金项目。 “是的，我们在玩奖学金游戏，”负责大学本科教育的副院长汤姆兰•卡斯特承认。但这也有它的优势，他说，“事实上，这不仅仅关系到低收入人群，它还关系到无缘问津助学金、普通的美国中产阶级家庭。” *关于奖学金制度的几点补充 奖学金是向在某一领域杰出的学生提供的资助，通常是指学术、体育和艺术奖学金。 学术奖学金是以学生在高中阶段的分数，平均成绩和学术表现为基础。它们通常是专门为学生在高中毕业后直接进入大学而设置的。然而，还有为学习成绩格外突出的在校大学生准备的奖学金。这些奖学金通常帮助学生交纳学费，只要他们继续符合条件，每年都可以继续享受。某些情况下，学生在申请过程中可能需要学校或者一位教师推荐。
84 运动奖学金是为在任何一种体育运动中突出的学生设置的奖学金，从足球到田径项目。本奖学金必须有人推荐，因为杰出的运动表现必须得到教练或裁判的认可。申请者需要寄送包含他们最佳表现的一盘磁带。 艺术奖学金要求申请者在一定艺术领域有突出表现。一般包括创作领域，如艺术、设计、时装、音乐、舞蹈或写作。申请艺术奖学金，通常要求学生提供一个选辑，它可以包括艺术作品集、音乐表演录像或舞蹈的视频PartⅢListeningComprehension SectionA 试题详解 11.A)Getsomesmallchange.A)换取零钱。 B)Findashoppingcenter.B)找一个购物中心。 C)Cashacheckatabank.C)在银行兑现支票。 D)Findaparkingmeter.D)找一个停车计费器。 【听音指导】选项均缺少主语，属于细节题加转折题型，预读时无需关注句意，直接找相似场景即可，并且按照听力短对话规律，重点仍然在女士话语当中，典型的“转折”出答案题型。 【正确项分析】由but后的moneychanger可知男生需要换零钱，可快速排除选项B(购物中心)和选项D(停车)二个场景，答案应在选项A、C当中。C选项虽也和“钱”有关，但对话中对该选项中的银行只字未提，由此可知答案为选项A。 【原文及译文】 M:Excuseme.Doyouhavechangeforaten-dollarnote?Ineedtopaytheparkingmeter.

Q:Whatarethespeakerstalkingabout? 女士：你给人们拍照时，会让他们知道吗? 男士：尽量不让他们知道。你也知道一个人为拍照摆出的姿势看起来呆滞、不自然。 问题：讲话人在谈论什么? 【词汇点拨】posev.摆姿势n.姿势，姿态;enhancev.提高，加强;imagen.图像，形象 14.A)HemovedtoBaltimorewhenhewasyoung.A)他年轻的时候搬到巴尔的摩。 B)Hecanprovidelittleusefulinformation.B)他提供不了太多有用信息。 C)HewillshowthewomanaroundBaltimore.C)他将领女士参观巴尔的摩。 D)Hewillasksomeoneelsetohelpthewoman.D)他将找其他人来帮助女士。 【听音指导】此题考查意义解释题加转折题型，此类题型答案多为“听见什么不选什么”。本题需要对考生有一定的实力要求，属
88于可“失分”的题目。关注动词moveto，provide，showaround和ask。 【正确项分析】经典转折考法，直接用but定位答案即可，男生说自己当时还很年轻，言下之意自己对当地情况不够了解。答案为B选项。 【干扰项分析】根据四级听力中短对话“尾词错误原则”，即结尾内容听得越清楚越不能选，可顺利排除A选项。选项C没有提及。选项D与选项B为相似项，其中应有答案，男士并未主动提出找人帮忙，故排除选项D。 【原文及译文】 W:IneedtotalktosomeonewhoknowsBaltimorewell.I’mtoldyoulivedthere. M:Oh,butIwasreallyyoungatthetime Q:Whatdoesthemanmean? 女士：我需要找个非常了解巴尔的摩的人。我听说你曾在那里居住过。 男士：哦，但是我那时候太年轻了。 问题：男士是什么意思? 【词汇点拨】showaround领……参观15.A)Heisratherdisappointed.A)他非常失望。 B)Heishighlyambitious.B)他很有抱负。 C)Hecan’tfaceuptothesituation.C)他不能面对处境。
89 D)Heknowshisownlimitation.D)他知道自己的不足。 【听音指导】预读四个选项时只有B提到了“正面、积极”的方向，可初步排除。选项预读较难，但本题属于经典转折题型，关注相应标志词即可。but出现表示“前否后肯”，直接用but定位答案，就可选出正确选项。 【正确项分析】原文是“承担责任前需要积累更多经验”，表明他知道自己的不足之处，与选项D同义。 【干扰项分析】A选项中是rather，与原文的alittle不一致，可排除。C选项原文中未曾提及。 【原文及译文】 W:Aren’tyoudisappointedthatyoudidn’tgetthepromotion? M:Maybealittle,butIknowIneedmoreexperiencebeforeI’mreadyforthatkindofresponsibility. Q:Whatdowelearnaboutthemanfromthisconversation? 女士：你没有被提升，不觉得失望吗? 男士：可能有一点，但我觉得承担责任前需要积累更多经验。 问题：从此对话可以得知男士的什么信息? 【词汇点拨】disappointeda.失望的;ambitiousa.有雄心的;promotionn.晋升;responsibilityn.责任 16.A)Shemusthavepaidalotforthegym.A)她一定在健身房花了很多钱。 B)Sheisknowntohaveaterrificfigure.B)她以身材好而闻名。
90 C)Hergymexercisehasyieldedgoodresults.C)她的健身锻炼取得了很好的效果。 D)Herefforttokeepfitisreallypraiseworthy.D)她努力健身的做法值得称赞。 【听音指导】预读四个选项，可知选项A与其他三项明显不同，可初步排除。选项B、C都是关于锻炼效果极佳的表达，按照惯例其中应该有答案。本题为意义解释题，同义替换是答案。 【正确项分析】男士提到yourefforthaspaidoff，这与选项C中的hasyieldedgoodresults一致，故选择C项。 【干扰项分析】男士赞扬女士身材好，但未曾提到她以此闻名，B选项可排除。男士也未称赞她的作法，故排除选项D。 【原文及译文】 W:I’vebeenworkingoutthegymsinceJanuary.Iwasabitoutofshape. M:Youlookterrific.Itseemsthatyourefforthaspaidoff. Q:Whatdoesthemanimplyaboutthewoman? 女士：我从一月份一直在健身房锻炼。我之前都有些走形了。 男士：现在你看起来很棒。看来你的努力没有白费。 问题：男士暗示女士什么? 【词汇点拨】gymn.健身房;yieldv.产生;keepfit保持体型;workout体育锻炼;outofshape走形，走样;payoff得到好结果 17.A)Femalestudentsareunfitforstudyingphysics.A)

M:Well,thatmighthelp.Advancedphysicsisaprettydifficultcourse. Q:Whatdoesthemanmean? 女士：克拉克教授建议我得为高等物理找个家庭教师。 男士：嗯，那可能有帮助。高等物理确实是一门比较难的科目。 问题：男士的意思是什么? 【词汇点拨】tutorn.家庭教师;constructivea.有益的，建设性的
92 18.A)Indifferent.A)漠不关心的。 B)Doubtful.B)怀疑的。 C)Pleased.C)高兴的。 D)Surprised.D)惊奇的。 【听音指导】预读时可排除唯一的“积极”选项C。本题为加了“弦外之音”意义解释题，同义替换是答案，此类题有较少的明显的语言点可以指示答案，难度较大。听音时关注说话者的语气。 【正确项分析】女士所谓的好消息是谈话的两个人都没有被炒鱿鱼。男士却既不兴奋，也没有表示怀疑，所以轻易排除选项B、C。因为他已经有点厌倦这份工作了，甚至想到要去辞职。与选项A意义相符。 【原文及译文】 W:Bill,haveyouheardthelatestnews?Itappearswetwowon’tbelaidoffafterall. M:Oh,I’msomewhattiredofworkinghere.I’vebeenwonderingwhetherIshouldresign.Anyway,thenewsseemstobegoodforyou.

94 【听音指导】行为动作考查题，根据19题推测，本对话涉及报班，由本题四个选项可知，所报课程与电脑有关，因为前三项均与computer有关。可知选项D与其他三项明显不同，可初步排除。本题也为一细节题，在听力过程中，应适时记录相关信息。 【正确项分析】女士先提到了Haveyoutakenanycoursesindataprocessing，在其后紧跟着又对其进行了解释dataprocessingisacourseyouhavetotakebeforeyoucantakecomputerprogramming。对于dataprocessing在对话中重复出现，且与问题相符，故选择B选项。 21.A)Thursdayevening,from7:00to9:45.A)周四晚，7点至9点45分。 B)FromSeptember1toNewYear’seve.B)从9月1号至新年前夕。 C)EveryMonday,lastingfor12weeks.C)每周一，持续12周。 D)Threehoursaweek,45hoursintotal.D)一星期三小时，总共45小时。 【听音指导】由选项即可知本题考查数字的细节题，且考查的数字为持续的时间，初步推测为某一课程所持续的时间。所以如在听力过程中涉及数字都要作笔记，且应注意数字的上下文场景。 【正确项分析】对该问题的回答，信息较分散，最初提到了everyMonday,from7to9:45。接下来在letmesee停顿之后出现答案12weeks，fromSeptember1toChristmaseve.整合以上信息，应选C。 【干扰项分析】选项A错在Thursdayevening，原文中明确给出应该是Mondayevening。选项B中的NewYear’seve也是偷梁换柱，应为Christmaseve。选项D涉及小计算，每晚3小时，持续12周，应大约总共36小时才正确。
95 22.A)Whattobringforregistration.A)登记时需要带什么。 B)Wheretoattendtheclass.B)到哪里去上课。 C)HowhecangettoFrostHall.C)去弗罗斯特大厅怎么走。 D)Whetherhecanuseacheck.D)他是否能用支票。 【听音指导】根据“前二后二必考”原则，本题又为本对话的最后一题，此题必在文章后面出题。由四选项的形式可初步推测，本题考查的是问题的内容。 【正确项分析】本题的问题直截了当，在原文中男士给出了明确的提问，IsthereanythingthatIshouldbringwithme?与选项A同义。 【干扰项分析】许多考生按照常理或主观臆测选定选项B，此项在原文中恰恰没有提到。原文中男士也明确表明Iknowhowtogetthere，选项C是多余的。文中虽提到checkbook，是女士对男士问题的回答，而非男士的发问，故排除。 【原文及译文】 W:Hello,ParksonCollege.MayIhelpyou?

98 男士：这门课程多少钱? 女士：300美元，包括必要的上机时间。 男士：好的，嗯，我到哪里去登记? 女士：在9月2号、3号6点至9点在弗罗斯特大厅登记。 男士：是停车场后面的圆形大楼吗? 女士：是的，就是那儿。 男士：哦，我知道怎么到那儿去。我必须要带什么东西吗? 女士：不用，只要带着支票簿即可。 男士：哦，太谢谢了。 女士：不用客气。再见! 男士：再见! 19：为什么男士选择晚间上课? 20：在上计算机程序设计课程之前必须要做什么? 21：我们能从晚间课程了解到什么信息? 22：在谈话最后男士想了解什么信息? 【词汇点拨】coursen.课程;computerprogramming计算机编程;dataprocessing数据处理;parkinglot停车场;schedulen.时间表Questions23to25arebasedontheconversationyouhavejustheard. 23.A)Atrainingcoach.A)教练员。 B)Atradingadviser.B)商业顾问。 C)Aprofessionalmanager.C)职业经理。 D)Afinancialtrader.D)金融交易商。
99 【听音指导】本题为本长对话的第一题，出题点必在对话开始，由选项可知，本题涉及职业，对于职业的考查也是前几年四级考试的重点。 【正确项分析】男士在文中明确提及tradinginfinancialmarkets，根据同义推断原理，可推断该男士的职业是financialtrader. 24.A)Hecansaveonlivingexpenses.A)他可以节省生活费用。 B)Heconsiderscookingcreative.B)他认为烹饪是具有创新性的。 C)Hecanenjoyhealthierfood.C)他喜欢健康食物。 D)Hethinkstake-awayistasteless.D)他觉得外带食品不好吃。 【听音指导】预览选项，可知选项A与其他三项明显不同，可初步排除。本题与食物或烹饪有关。所以在听音过程中，如提及cooking或food，应多加注意，适时记录。 【正确项分析】听音过程中听到此句Ialwayscookamealratherthanhaveatake-away，即可知答案就在附近，接下来的一句Todosomethingmybrainwillregardascreative中，出现了关键词creative，选项B与之相符，故选择B选项。 25.A)Itissomethinginevitable.A)是某种不可避免的事情。 B)Itisfrustratingsometimes.B)有时候令人沮丧。 C)Ittakespatiencetomanage.C)它需要耐心来管理。 D)Itcanbeagoodthing.D)它可能是件好事。
100 【听音指导】本题是细节加评论题，关键要弄清楚各选项中it所指代的内容。本文出现频率最多的词是stress，可大胆推测，此题考查的是对stress的评述。本题又是此长对话的最后一题，答案应在听力对话的后两句。 【正确项分析】Idoactuallyenjoyanelementofuncertainty.只要抓住此句中的一个关键词uncertainty，此题便可轻易而解，选项A正确。 【原文及译文】 W:So,whyexactlydoesyourjobhaveareputationforbeingstressful?

102 女士：你是否因压力大而考虑换工作呢? 男士：因为压力的因素我曾考虑过离开我的工作。但是，我认为压力是一件好事。如果运用得当，压力实际上是有益的。 女士：你喜欢工作中的哪些压力? 男士：说了这么多，我的确喜欢不确定因素。我喜欢挑战。交易会在瞬间产生一系列大范围的情绪波动。你如何处理及管理这些情绪支配着中短期及长期交易业绩和成功。 23：男士的工作是什么? 24：为什么男士喜欢做饭，而不是叫外卖? 25：关于工作中的压力感，男士说了什么? 【词汇点拨】reputationn.名声，名气;combinev.合并;financiala.金融的;take-away外带食品;positivea.积极的，有益的;uncertaintyn.不确定性SectionB PassageOne 篇章结构 本次四级听力篇章从内容难度上来讲，比2009年6月的更难。此篇文章属于天文类，讲的是除地球以外的星球上形成生命的可能性。曾经科学家们认为其他星球上存在生命的可能性不大，但是现在科学家在渐渐地定位那些有可能会形成生命的地方。文章对此举了一个例子，就是木星的一个卫星，叫木卫二。 词汇点拨

105 【正确项分析】问题为科学家在木卫二星球上找到什么，那么应该是SpaceprobeshaveprovidedevidencethatEuropahasalargeoceanunderitssurface，意为航空观测镜发现了星球表面下有个大的海洋。C选项与原文一模一样。 28.A)Lightisnotanessentialelementtoit.A)光不是必备因素。 B)Lifecanforminveryhottemperatures.B)生命在很热的温度下能够形成。 C)Everyformoflifeundergoesevolution.C)每种生命的形成都需要进化。 D)Oxygenisnotneededforsomelifeforms.D)氧在生命形成过程中没有必要。 【听音指导】根据惯例，最后一个问题答案出现在篇章结束前三十秒左右，选项均涉及生命形成因素，分别为light，hottemperatures，evolution和oxygen，根据这些信息，可轻易在短文结束前找到答案。 【正确项分析】注意转折连词but前后，原文为Untilrecently,scientiststhoughtthatlightwasessential.Butnow,placeshavebeenfoundonearththatareintotalblacknesssuchascavesseveralmilesbeneaththeocean.Andbacteria,primitiveformsoflife,havebeenseenthere。意为科学家一直以为光是很重要的，但是现在他们发现完全黑暗的地方—比如几英里深的洞里，也有生命，即细菌。可见，光不是必备因素，选项A正确。

107 27.WhathavescientistsfoundaboutEuropa,amoonofJupiter? 28.Whathavescientistscometoknowrecentlyabouttheformationoflife? 从很早以前，人们一直迷恋着地球以外的地方也存在生命的想法。直到近来，科学家们认为在其他星球上存在生命只不过是个充满希望的梦。但是，现在他们开始查找可能有生命的地方。1997年，科学家们在恒星附近，例如太阳，发现了行星的踪迹。科学家们现在认为生命可能我们更近，就在太阳系内。科学家们正密切关注的地方是木卫二，木星的一个卫星。太空探测器提供了证据表明木卫二表层之下有一个海洋。探测器也让科学家们认为木卫二表层有散发出火山热的岩石核心。火山活动的水和热量是生命形成的两个基本条件。第三个是一些基本的化学物质，如碳、氧和氮。科学家们认为在木卫二海洋底部可能存在这样的化学成分。他们可能已经创造了生命或即将产生生命。你可能在想光也是生命形成的必要条件。直到最近，科学家们仍认为光是不可或缺的。但现在已经在地球上发现，海洋几英里之下的黑暗的洞穴内有细菌，即原始生命形式的存在。所以不能排除缺乏光的木卫二地下海洋有生命形成的可能性。 26.根据短文，科学家曾相信什么? 27.科学家们发现关于木卫二的什么信息? 28.最近，科学家就生命的形成了解到什么? PassageTwo 篇章结构
108 本篇讲述医生发现用纸记录下的东西比口语交流的信息更加准确和稳定。问题源自一位医生在对一个孩子的家庭口述交待了出院后的注意事项之后，发现这些亲属们竟然记不清到底医生讲了些什么，于是医生决定在以后交待注意事项的时候要把这些内容全印成纸质的东西，因为纸质的东西比口语更可靠。 词汇点拨 sufferv.遭受;confusinga.令人迷惑的;episoden.插曲;versionn.版本;challengev.挑战 话题词汇 contextn.上下文 physiciann.内科医生 recoverv.恢复 stabilityn.稳定性 actout表演出来 emergencyroom急诊室 oralcommunication口头交际 tailoredto定制的 难句解析 1.Alsolisteningtoherwereahalfadozenotherfamilymembers. 【解析】此句为倒装句，强调listeningtoher，主语为ahalfadozenotherfamilymembers。正常语序为：Ahalfadozenotherfamilymemberswerealsolisteningtoher.

111 【听音指导】本题为短文最后一题，应在文章最后出现。需要注意关键字stability，errors，context和communication。 【正确项分析】此题是典型的篇章问题考法。答案出现在结尾处，问题是作者对于人类口语交流(humanspeech)总结了什么。原文为humanspeechlacksthestabilityandpermanenceoftheprintedword，与选项A一致。 原文及译文 Inherearlydaysasanemergencyroomphysician,DoctorJoannaMayertreatedachildwhohadsufferedaseconddegreeburn.Afterthechildhadbeentreatedandwasbeingpreparedfordischarge,DoctorMayertalkedtotheparentsabouthowtheyshouldcareforthechildathome.Alsolisteningtoherwereahalfadozenotherfamilymembers.Afewhourslater,whenshecametosaygoodbye,thefamilyaskedhertosettleanargumentthey’dbeenhavingoverexactlywhatadviceshehadgiven.“AsItalkedtothem,Iwasamazed.”shesaid,“AllofthemhadheardthesimpleinstructionsIhavegivenjustafewhoursbefore,buttheyhavethreeorfourdifferentversions.Themostbasicdetailswereunclearandconfusing.Iwassurprised,becausethesewereintelligentpeople.”ThisepisodegaveDoctorMayerherfirstcluetosomethingeverydoctorlearnssoonerorlater----mostpeoplejustdon’tlistenverywell.

113 如今，玛雅说她反复重复医嘱，甚至对一些病人进行现场核查。她要他们告诉她他们应该做的事。她还根据病人的情况提供可带回家的打印文本。玛雅医生的听众都是正常人。当面对新资料或难度较大的资料时，几乎所有的听众都会面临挑战，因为人类口语缺乏书面文字的稳定性和永久性。口头交流速度快但持续时间短。 29.孩子的家庭成员在医院里争论的是什么? 30.为确保病人明白她的医嘱，玛雅医生做了什么? 31.说话者如何评述人类口语? PassageThree 篇章结构 此篇讲的是商务工作中对员工的激励机制。主要内容为公司对员工的激励机制并非是人们通常以为的工资或者工作环境，而是工作中的挑战。 词汇点拨 challenginga.挑战性的;logicala.合理的;manuallyad.手动地;identifyv.认同;tediousa.单调的，沉闷的 话题词汇 arbitrarilyad.专横地 mechanicala.机械的 roboticsn.机器人学 bydefinition当然 jobsecurity职业安全感 laborrelations劳资关系 难句解析
114 1.It’slogicaltosupposethatthingslikegoodlaborrelations,goodworkingconditions,goodwagesandbenefitsandjobsecuritymotivateworkers,butoneexpert,FrederickHerzbergarguedthatsuchconditionsdonotmotivateworkers. 【解析】此句结构是由转折连词but引导的两个分句。前面一个分句中，it做形式主语，后面的不定式tosuppose是真正主语。That引导宾语从句，介词like以及其引导内容做things的后置定语。后面一个分句中，oneexpert与FrederickHerzberg为同位语，that后引导宾语从句。 2.However,evenwiththedevelopmentofcomputersandrobotics,there’realwaysplentyofboring,repetitiveandmechanicaljobsandlotsofunskilledpeoplewhohavetodothem. 【解析】本句主句为therebe句型，常见的短语withthedevelopmentof作时间状语，意为“随着……的发展”。jobs和people为表语，三个并列形容词boring，repetitive和mechanical一起修饰jobs，who引导的定语从句修饰先行词unskilledpeople试题详解 32.A)Jobsecurity.A)职业安全感。 B)Goodlaborrelations.B)愉快的劳资关系。 C)Challengingwork.C)挑战性的工作。 D)Attractivewagesandbenefits.D)有吸引力的工资和利益。 【听音指导】预览选项中的关键词jobsecurity，labor
115relation，work，和wagesandbenefits可知，此篇短文主旨与工作有关，可初步推测与人们对工作的满足感有关。 【正确项分析】此题问的是主题，到底什么可以真正激励员工好好工作呢。原文Motivators,incontrast,includethingssuchashavingachallengingandinterestingjob,recognitionandresponsibility，连接词incontrast附近出现了答案，意为起到激励作用的东西包括工作的挑战性和趣味性，以及工作中需承担的责任即最终获得的认可。所以选选项C，即挑战性的工作。 【干扰项分析】原文首句虽谈及选项A、B、D各项内容，但是but转折后全盘否定butoneexpert,FrederickHerzbergarguedthatsuchconditionsdonotmotivateworkers。故可全部排除。 33.A)Manytediousjobscontinuetobedonemanually.A)许多单调工作继续由手工做。 B)Moreandmoreunskilledworkerswilllosejobs.B)越来越多的非技术工人将失业。 C)Computerswillchangethenatureofmanyjobs.C)电脑将改变很多工作性质。 D)Boringjobswillgraduallybemadeenjoyable.D)无聊的工作将变得快乐。 【听音指导】从选项内容可知，本题考查的是工作的性质，应注意关键提示词—tedious，unskilledandlosejob，computer和boringandenjoyable。
116 【正确项分析】此题问到作者对电脑信息时代总结了什么。从原文中However,evenwiththedevelopmentofcomputersandrobotics,there’realwaysplentyofboring,repetitiveandmechanicaljobsandlotsofunskilledpeoplewhohavetodothem.，连接词however后出现了答案。意为，尽管电脑和机器人技术不断发展，还是存在无聊的、重复的、机械性的工作，需要人力完成，对应到正确答案A选项中的tedious以及manually。 34.A)Offerthemchancesofpromotion.A)提供给他们晋升机会。 B)Improvetheirworkingconditions.B)改善他们的工作条件。 C)Encouragethemtocompetewitheachother.C)鼓励他们相互竞争。 D)Givethemresponsibilitiesaspartofateam.D)给他们责任，让他们成为团队一部分。 【听音指导】此题为一细节题。选项B与其他三项明显不同，可初步排除。听音时，注意选项中的promotion，compete和team。 【正确项分析】原文中激励超市员工工作是个案，但是问题本身针对的是总结性的答案。即出现在forexample前的总结句：Givethemsomeresponsibilities,notasindividuals,butasapartofateam。but后强调的是team，正确答案为选项D。 35.A)Theywillnotbringrealbenefitstothestaff.A)他们将不能给员工带来真正利益。 B)Theyconcernasmallnumberofpeopleonly.B)
117他们与少数人相关。 C)Theyarearbitrarilysetbytheadministrators.C)是管理人员随意制定的。 D)Theyarebeyondthecontrolofordinaryworkers.D)他们超出了普通工人的控制。 【听音指导】首先意识到最后一题的答案应在文章结束前几句找，由各选项可知，所描述的对象并不是积极的，而是有负面影响的。 【正确项分析】为什么金钱诱惑刺激不了工作热情，答案出现在结尾前30秒处，即Suchvaluesaremorelikelytomotivateworkersthanfinancialtargetswhichautomaticallyonlyconcernafewpeople，意为团队精神更能激起工作热情，因为金钱利益最终只会与团队中的个别人相关。答案为选项B。 原文及译文 It’slogicaltosupposethatthingslikegoodlaborrelations,goodworkingconditions,goodwagesandbenefitsandjobsecuritymotivateworkers,butoneexpert,FrederickHerzbergarguedthatsuchconditionsdonotmotivateworkers.Theyaremerelysatisfiers.Motivators,incontrast,includethingssuchashavingachallengingandinterestingjob,recognitionandresponsibility.However,evenwiththedevelopmentofcomputersandrobotics,there’realwaysplentyofboring,repetitiveandmechanicaljobsandlotsofunskilledpeoplewhohavetodothem.Sohowdomanagersmotivatepeopleinsuchjobs?Onesolutionistogive

119赫兹伯格认为这些条件并不能激励员工，只是让员工得到满足的物质条件而已。相反，激励因素包括挑战性和趣味性的工作、认可和责任等。然而，即使随着计算机技术和机器人技术的发展，仍有大量无聊的、重复的和机械的工作，并且还必须有大量做这些工作的非技术人员。所以管理人员如何激励从事这种工作的人呢?一种解决办法就是让他们承担责任，不是作为个人，而是作为团队。例如，有些超市把办公室人员、填货人和收银员编成一组，让他们决定进什么货、产品如何陈列等。现在很多人在谈论员工认同的公司的价值观和公司文化的重要性，如怎样成为最好的旅馆连锁，或在某一特定领域做最好的，用户最亲善的或者最可靠的产品。这样的价值观比那些只与少数人有关的财务目标更有可能激励员工。不幸的是，只有个别公司才会有这样的目标，当然，并不是所有的竞争公司在业界都能做成最好的。 32：根据弗洛迪克•赫兹伯格的观点，什么可以激励员工? 33：说话者就计算机时代的工作发表了什么观点? 34：一些超市为激励员工采取了什么措施? 35：为什么说财务目标不太可能激发员工?SectionC 原文重现 Inthehumanities,authorswritetoinformyouinmanyways.Thesemethodscanbe(36)classifiedintothreetypesofinformationalwriting:factual,descriptive,andprocess.Factualwritingprovides(37)backgroundinformationonanauthor,composerorartistoronatypeofmusic,literature,orart.Examplesoffactualwritingincludenotesona

121关键是要正确理解humanities(人文学科)一词。 词汇点拨 humanitiesn.人文学科;contextn.环境，语境，上下文;techniquen.技巧 话题词汇 composern.作曲家 bookjacket护封 instrumentn.乐器 backgroundinformation背景知识 musicappreciation音乐鉴赏 musicalcomposition乐曲 试题详解 36.【听音指导】根据空前后内容，可推测此空意为“归类成……”，轻易可以联想到常考词classified，构成beclassifiedinto结构。 37.【听音指导】事实性写作方式会提供什么样的信息，在预读时，很容易将其推测为形容词，但background是常见词，而backgroundinformation作为背景知识，在日常生活中常常用到。 38.【听音指导】此空中的内容与book，longpiece并列，可知此空填写的词为名词，且与book等为一类。album发音特殊，一般不会与其他词相混，应注意拼写。
122 39.【听音指导】由题意很容易判断此部分应为音乐鉴赏课，此空的难点在于appreciation(“鉴赏”)这个词的拼写。appreciate作动词，意为鉴赏，此空需要其名词形式。 40.【听音指导】为研究人文学科提供环境，其中context是高频词，几乎在每次考试中都能考到，此题不易失分。 41.【听音指导】此句话应理解为“正如名字所显示的那样”，立刻可以联系到show等词，而原文中的imply在以往四级考试中也反复出现。 42.【听音指导】描述性的写作能提供什么?立刻就想到形象、印象。image这个词很容易填出。 43.【听音指导】作曲家所用的音乐器具，自然为musicalinstrument。然而此空需要注意的是它的复数形式。 44.【听音指导】此段讲述的是descriptivewriting，此句位于本段的最后一句，应为总结性话语。答案为Descriptivewritinginthehumanities,particularlyinliteratureisoftenmixedwithcriticalwriting。particularly可替换为especially，bemixedwith意为“与……混合”。也可写为Descriptivewritingismixedwithcriticalwriting，那么既保留了句子的大意，而且也能规避如particularly这样的长难词。采分点为descriptivewriting和criticalwriting。 45.【听音指导】此段讲述的是processingwriting，按照惯例此句为对其的总结性解释。shootafilm，意为拍电影。采分点为howtodosomething和technique。
123 46.【听音指导】整篇文章为总分式，先总述了三种写作题材，然后分别讲述每种写作题材的适用范围。此空独立成句，很可能论述三部分适用范围的交集。采分点为morethanonetypeoftechniqueisusedinwriting。 全文精译 在人文学科中，作者可以通过多种写作方式告知读者信息。这些方法可分为三类信息写作题材：事实性的，描述性的和解说性的。事实性写作提供了一位作家、作曲家或艺术家或者是一种音乐、文学或艺术的背景信息。事实性写作包括封面上的说明和专辑封面，较长的作品如音乐鉴赏课中可能读到的描述一种音乐风格的文章。这种写作题材为人文学科研究提供了依据。 正如它的名字所暗示的，描写性写作指简单的描述或为一段音乐、一种艺术和文学树立一种形象。例如，描写性写作可能介绍一位艺术家在画中用过的色彩，或一位乐器作曲家在音乐作品中所用的乐器。通过具体描述，在读者的脑海里留下声音的图画。人文学科中的描写性写作，特别在文学中，经常与评论式写作共同使用。 解说性写作是解释会带来某种结果的一系列的行动。它告诉读者如何做某事，例如，拍电影的技术。这种写作往往用于艺术中，因为理解艺术家如何创造了一种特定效果是很重要的。在一篇指定的信息写作中，作者可以运用多种写作技巧。 PartIVReadingComprehension SectionA 篇章结构

128 一项新的研究表明，父母都工作的家庭，父亲可能比母亲对于孩子语言的发展有更大的影响力。 研究者们从十一个幼儿护理中心招募了九十二个家庭，他们的孩子都不到一岁，并且逐一询问了他们的收入、受教育状况、孩子的照顾情况。总之，它们都是受过良好教育的中产阶级家庭，父母双亲都和孩子住在一起。 当孩子两岁时，研究人员将他们与父母双方在家自由玩耍的情景录制下来，并记录他们所有的谈话。该研究将发表在《应用发展心理学杂志》第十一期。 科学家们测量了父母亲话语总的数量、使用不同词汇的数量、他们的语句的复杂程度以及他们语言的其他方面。通常，父亲比母亲说的少，但是在话语的长度和问问题的多少方面，他们没有差别。 最后，当孩子们三岁时，研究人员对孩子进行了标准化的语言测试，并对他们的语言进行了分析。测试中，预测高分的指标包括母亲受教育的程度、养育孩子的质量和父亲使用不同词汇的数量。 令研究者们疑惑的是为什么父亲而非母亲的语言对孩子有影响。 该研究的主要作者那达亚•潘克索发说：“大家都公认母亲的语言的确有影响力。”也可能因为在研究中能力强的母亲已经对孩子的语言发展产生了很大的影响。她又讲到，“或者可能母亲起作用的方式在研究中我们没有测量。” SectionB PassageOne

D)Universitypresidentsarepayingmoreattentiontofunding-raisingD)大学校长更加注重筹措资金。 【快速解题】事实细节题。根据题干中thecurrenttrendinhighereducation，定位答案在第二段最后两句。 【正确项分析】根据这两句话Yetthetalentflowisn’tuniversal.High-levelpersonneltendtoheadinonlyonedirection:outwardfromAmerica.如今，高等教育已成为极具竞争力的商业行为，并且日渐国际化。但是人才的流动并不是世界性的。高层的管理人员往往来自一个地方：美国。选项A意思与之相近，故选择A。 【干扰项分析】根据第三段末“筹措资金的能力在很大程度上依靠经验，也是美国校长必须具备的能力”
134，D项表述与原文不符。B、C项文中均未提及。 63.WhatisthechiefconsiderationofAmericanuniversitieswhenhiringtop-leveladministrators?62.在聘请高层管理人员时，美国大学主要考虑的问题是什么? A)Thepoliticalcorrectness.A)政治方向的准确性。 B)Theirabilitytoraisefunds.B)筹措资金的能力。 C)Theirfameinacademiccircles.C)学术界的声誉。 D)Theiradministrativeexperience.D)管理经验。 【快速解题】语义理解题。根据题干中thechiefconsideration，定位答案在第三段第三段。 【正确项分析】在第三段TheboardultimatelypickedBruceBenson,a69-year-oldColoradobusinessmanandpoliticalactivistwhoislikelytoexcelatthemaintaskofmodernuniversitypresidents:fund-raising。选项B中的raisefunds表示“筹款”。答案为B选项。 64.WhatdowelearnaboutEuropeanuniversitiesfromthepassage?64.从文章中可以了解关于欧洲大学的哪些信息?

135 D)Mostoftheirrevenuescomefromthegovernment.D)大部分资金来源于政府。 【快速解题】语义理解题。根据题干Europeanuniversities，答案可定位在第四段第一、二句。 【正确项分析】根据第四段第一、二句ManyEuropeanuniversitiesarestillmostlydependentongovernmentfunding.Butgovernmentsupporthasfailedtokeeppacewithrisingstudentnumber。即很多欧洲大学仍然依靠政府投入。而政府的投入却没能跟上不断扩大的学生规模。因此可知学校的大部分资金来源于政府，故选择D选项。 【干扰项分析】B项是强干扰项，根据第四段第一、二句可知很多欧洲大学仍然依靠政府投入，但却没有提及学校运转受到政府的严格监督。A、C项文中均未提及。 65.CambridgeUniversityappointedAlisonRichardasitsvice-chancellorchieflybecause_______?65.牛津大学为什么任命艾莉森•理查德为副校长?

136 D)shehadboostedYale’sacademicstatus.D)她提升了耶鲁大学的学术地位 【快速解题】事实细节题。根据题干中的AlisonRichardasitsvice-chancellor，答案可定位在第五段第二句。 【正确项分析】根据theuniversitypubliclystressedthatinherpreviousjobshehadoverseen“amajorstrengtheningofYale’sfinancialposition.”，学校公开强调艾莉森之前的工作确保了“耶鲁大学财政状况良好”。由此可知她有很强的筹措资金的能力，故选A选项。 66.Inwhatwaydotop-leveladministratorsfromabroadcontributetouniversitydevelopment?66.外国的高层领导从哪些方面促进了学校的发展? A)Theycanenhancetheuniversity’simage.A)他们可以提升学校的形象 B)Theywillbringwiththemmoreinternationalfaculty.B)他们可以带来更多国际化人才 C)Theywillviewalotofthingsfromanewperspective.C)他们将从新的角度审视问题。 D)Theycansetupnewacademicdisciplines.D)他们能创立新的学科 【快速解题】语义理解题。根据题干top-leveladministratorsfromabroadcontributetouniversitydevelopment答案定位在末段末句。
137 【正确项分析】该句Foreignerscanofferafreshperspectiveonestablishedpractices，告诉读者外国人能够给学校业已成立的体系带来新的活力。此意与C选项的意思相近，故选C选项。 全文精译 2009年毕业的高中生进入牛津大学的同时，他们也会迎来一个新的面孔，安德鲁•汉密尔顿，55岁的耶鲁大学教务长。他将入主牛津，职位相当于美国大学的校长。 汉密尔顿并不是第一位跨越大西洋到外国任职的教育家。法国、埃及、新家坡等一些国家的学校近年来纷纷从国外聘请学校的高层管理人员。像其他商业活动一样，如今，高等教育已成为极具竞争力的商业行为，并且日渐国际化。但是人才的流动并不是世界性的。高层的管理人员往往来自一个地方：美国。 其主要原因是许多学校并不真地想从国外引进人才。例如，科罗拉多大学董事会在遴选新校长时，想聘用一个与州政府熟悉的领导人，因为州政府是学校的主要资金来源。“我们不会在全球范围内聘用校长”，帕特立夏•海说，该校最终聘用了布鲁斯•本森，69岁的科罗拉多州商人、政治活动家。他能够胜任现代大学校长的职务：筹措资金。筹措资金为美国大学所特有，因为美国大学的运转主要依赖捐款。筹措资金的能力在很大程度上依靠经验，也是美国校长必须具备的能力。 与此同时，很多欧洲大学仍然依靠政府投入。而政府的投入却没能跟上不断扩大的学生规模。政府投入的减少，使得筹措资金成为学校管理部门的当务之急，于是对美国的人才求贤若渴。
138 在过去几年里，世界各地的优秀学校都加入了这一行列。2003年，剑桥大学任命前耶鲁大学教务长艾莉森•理查德为副校长。学校公开强调艾莉森之前的工作确保了“耶鲁大学财政状况良好”。 当然，这些外国管理者不仅只是筹措资金。教育全球化意味着更多的大学将要聘用那些具有国际经验的校长，以促进国际间项目的合作，招收留学生。外国人能够给学校业已成立的体系带来新的活力。PartVCloze 篇章结构 本次完形填空选自2009年1月20日www.guardian.co.uk网站的一则报道，题目是OlderPeople’sEducation‘neglected’(‘被忽视的’老年教育)，选入本文时略有删减。从题材看，本次完形填空属于论说文体，主题为教育。阐述了教育对于每个阶段的人的重要性和终身学习的意义。全文共六段，第一段首先指出学习对于老年人的重要意义。接着讲述老年人教育面临的种种问题和阻力，与此同时也指出了对老年人进行教育投入的必要性。文章最后提出了一个发人深思的问题：应该有更多的资金来保证人们塑造个性和在“第三年龄段”发挥建设性作用。 核心词汇 1.contributev.捐助，捐献，贡献 【搭】contributefor为……捐助;contributeto把……捐给【拓】contributionn.贡献，捐献;contributinga.贡献的 2.focusn.集中，聚集
139 【搭】focusone’sattention集中注意力;focuson/upon强调，使集中于焦点;focusthecameraon把照相机的焦点对准…… 3.concentratev.①专心于，注意②集中，聚集 【搭】concentrateefforts集中力量;concentrateone’smind专心【拓】concentrationn.集中，专心 难句解析 4.Thecurrentapproachwhichfocusesonyoungerpeopleandonskillsforemploymentisnotadequatetomeetthechallengesofdemographicchange. 【解析】该句的主语是Thecurrentapproach，主语后跟了一个which引导的定语从句。“isnotadequate”是谓语，其后为动词不定式作目的状语。 【译文】现在的教育方法倾向于年轻人和技能性训练，难以应对人口结构变化的挑战。 5.Thechallengesincludethefactthatmostpeoplecanexpecttospendathirdoftheirlivesinretirement,thattherearenowmorepeopleover59thanunder16andthat11.3millionpeopleareoverstatepensionage. 【解析】该句看起来很长但结构并不复杂。是由一个主句Thechallengesincludethefact和三个that引导的同位语从句构成的。
140 【译文】这些挑战包括：多数人生命的三分之一将在退休后度过;五十九岁以上人口数高于十六岁以下人口数;一千一百三十万人达到国家法定领取退休金年龄。 6.Peopleneedopportunitiestomakea“midlifereview”toadjusttothelaterstagesofemployedlife,andtoplanforthetransitiontoretirement,whichmaynowhappenunpredictablyatanypointfrom50toover90. 【解析】本句主句成分为“Peopleneedopportunities”，其后是两个动词不定式作目的状语。划线部分是retirement的定语从句。 【译文】人们需要一个“中年回首”的机会来适应以后的工作生涯，规划退休后的角色转化。这种转化可以发生在五十岁到九十多岁的漫长时间内。 试题详解 67.【快速解题】本题考查动词词义辨析。 B【正确项分析】这四个动词都能够与介词on搭配，因此此处应在首段基础上着手分析该句句意。首段提出老年人学习的重要性，而该句“年轻人和技能性训练”指出了该项方法的侧重点。focuson“集中，针对”，因此确定答案为选项B。 【干扰项分析】根据句意可以比较容易地排除其他三此个干扰项，dependon依靠，依赖;counton依靠，指望;operateon对……实施手术。 68.【快速解题】本题考查形容词词义辨析。
141 D【正确项分析】该空格所要填的词应该与前文内容相呼应，首段指出老年人需要学习，而本句侧重的是年轻人的职业技能。这说明该教育方法面临挑战，由此可见它是不充分的，因此确定答案为选项D。 【干扰项分析】superior高级的，出众的;essential基本的;regular有规则的，有秩序的。均不符合该句上下文的关系，故排除。 【篇章分析】该句句意为“现在的教育方法倾向于年轻人和技能性训练，难以应对人口结构变化的挑战。”olderpeople，youngerpeople和demographicchange之间的关系能够帮助考生迅速确定答案。另外从后句的表达也可以帮助找出该题的正确答案。 69.【快速解题】本题为副词词义辨析题。 A【正确项分析】only1%指出当前对老年人投入的教育资金之有限，符合题意的选项应为currently“通常，当前”。因此正确选项为选项A。 【干扰项分析】barely表示“仅仅，刚刚”;heavily表示“沉重地”;anxiously表示“忧虑地，不安地”，均可轻易排除。 70.【快速解题】本题为词义辨析题。 C【正确项分析】该空在本句中作主语成分，其后面的内容均涉及老龄人口和退休人员的现状，结合前文教育状况，可以判断challenge“挑战”最符合该句句意。因此选C选项。 【干扰项分析】regulation规则，规章;obstacle障碍;guideline方针;用在本句均显勉强。 【篇章分析】虽然本题属于词义辨析题，但根据前后文信息复现能够迅速确定答案。如果考生细心的话，就会发现第二段曾经指出对“人口结构的挑战”，此处列举挑战的种种问题。
142 71.【快速解题】本题为词义辨析题。 B【正确项分析】解答本题除了能够辨析四个名词词义外，还要从句意入手推敲最符合题意的答案。该句说的是老龄人口的问题，同时指出他们退休后时间漫长，暗示对他们进行教育投入的必要性。所以正确答案为选项B。 【干扰项分析】enjoyment享受，享乐;stability稳定性;inability无能，无力;均不符合题意，故排除。 【篇章分析】本题并非单纯的词义辨析，应该在篇章的基础上把握上下文暗示的信息。 72.【快速解题】本题是介词词义辨析题。 A【正确项分析】从statepensionage“领退休金的年龄”，和前文指出的老龄人口之众，可以判断overstatepensionage“达到国家法定领取退休金年龄”。故正确选项为选项A。 【能力拓展】age不仅仅指年龄，还有很多其他搭配，表示“时期“，如theStoneAge石器时代;thecomputerage电脑时代。 73.【快速解题】本题为词义辨析题。 B【正确项分析】前文一直在说老年人教育问题，同时强调对这些人进行教育投入的必要性。该句作为第四段主题句，承接上文指出“学习应贯穿人的一生“。所以正确选项为B。 【干扰项分析】practice练习，训练;instruct教导，命令;identify识别，鉴别。均可根据上下文排除。 74.【快速解题】本题考查固定搭配。
143 D【正确项分析】该句主语为concentration“集中，专注”，其后常跟介词on，构成concentrationon“集中于……”。因此答案为选项D。 【能力拓展】英语中蕴含着丰富的词语搭配，考生在备考过程中有意识地对这些固定搭配进行识记，考试时便可从容应对。例如：liveon/by靠……生活，以……为食;liein在于;appealto呼吁，要求;aimat瞄准，针对。 75.【快速解题】本题考查固定搭配。 C【正确项分析】该句要求考生选择动词meet的固定搭配，从其句意可以判断出是“满足要求”之意，meettheneeds/requirements是常用的表达。因此正确选项为选项C。 【干扰项分析】realm领域;intention意图，目的;desire期望，欲望。均可排除。 【能力拓展】英语中有些动词常跟固定搭配的名词构成词组，如payattentionto注意;bringaccessto接近;layemphasison强调。考生应在备考中注意积累。 76.【快速解题】本题为词汇辨析题。 D【正确项分析】该句句意为“大多数教育预算集中在二十五岁以下的年轻人身上。”portion意为“一部分”，故正确选项为选项D。 【干扰项分析】measure度量标准;ratio比率;area区域;均不符合题意77.【快速解题】本题考查上下文逻辑关系。
144 A【正确项分析】该句为主从复合句，主句“处在各种年龄段的人们都渴望重新学习的机会”，从句作为一个时间状语指出当前的背景：人们工作和居住地不断变化，生活伴侣和生活方式也不断更新。因此应该选择选项A。 【干扰项分析】whether引导让步状语从句，可迅速排除;until和before虽引导时间状语从句，但其表达的时间概念不符合本句句意。 【篇章分析】该题所要填的是一个表示时间关系的连词，所以要从句意上着手分析。 78.【快速解题】本题考查词义辨析。 C【正确项分析】通过对本句句式结构的分析可以看出，该空缺处应添一个与jobs，partners和lifestyles相并列的词汇，所以正确选项为选项C。 【干扰项分析】mind思想;mood心情;neighbour邻居。比较起来，home更加贴近文中的事实，“人们工作和居住地不断变化”。 79.【快速解题】本题考查固定搭配。 B【正确项分析】四个选项都有“之前”的意思，所以很难通过词义辨析选出正确答案。但与比较词than搭配时，应固定地使用ever，表示“比以前任何时候都……”，因此正确选项为选项B。 【干扰项分析】formerly“从前，以前”，一般常用former，较少使用formerly;previously“先前，以前”;ago常与某一过去时间段搭配。 80.【快速解题】本题考查上下文逻辑关系。
145 A【正确项分析】本句是在前文基础上的一个例证，是为了更好地支撑前面的观点的。所以正确选项为A。 【干扰项分析】bycontrast与……相对比;onaverage一般地;inparticular尤其，特别。均与上下文逻辑关系不符，故排除。 81.【快速解题】本题是词义辨析题。 C【正确项分析】本题不属于固定搭配的考查，因为四个选项都能与to构成搭配。此处说持续学习的重要性，中年阶段的学习会让人们更好地适应以后的生活。adjust“调整，调节，使适应”，因此正确选项为选项C。 【干扰项分析】transform转换;suit适应;yield屈服。均不符合题意。 82.【快速解题】本题考查固定搭配。 D【正确项分析】该题非常简单，属于对常见短语搭配的考查。与transition搭配的介词为to，表示“向……过渡“。所以正确选项为选项D。 83.【快速解题】本题为词义辨析题。 B【正确项分析】atanypoint表明上述事情发生的不确定性，unpredictably“不可预知地”。因此正确选项为选项B。 【干扰项分析】indirectly间接地;unfairly不公平地;instantly立即地。可排除。 84.【快速解题】本题为词义辨析题。 C【正确项分析】本句句意“有足够支配的钱支撑……。”
146available“可用的”，因此正确选项为选项C。 【干扰项分析】feasible可行的;reliable可靠的，可信赖的;considerable值得考虑的，相当可观的。故排除。 85.【快速解题】本题为词义辨析题。 A【正确项分析】此处表达的意思为“塑造个性感觉”。sense“感觉，感知”，因此确定正确选项为选项A。 【干扰项分析】project计划，工程;definition定义;conscience良心，道德心。 【篇章分析】本题干扰项具有很大的迷惑性，很容易导致误选。这就要求考生平时对相关的近义词进行辨析，分清他们的侧重点，同时还要从语篇的角度分析空缺处的意义。 86.【快速解题】本题为词义辨析题。 D【正确项分析】此处为“发挥建设性作用”。因此正确选项为选项D。 【干扰项分析】ideal理想;asset资产，有用的东西;rank等级。故可排除。 全文精译 今天发表的一项新的人口研究报告表明：老年人要想不成为社会的负担，继续发挥余热，就必须有更多学习机会。 该报告声称：现在的教育方法倾向于年轻人和技能性训练，难以应对人口结构变化的挑战。占人口总数三分之一的老年人只占有百分之一的教育预算。
147 这些挑战包括：多数人三分之一的生命将在退休后度过;五十九岁以上人数高于十六岁以下人数;一千一百三十万人达到了国家法定领取退休金年龄。 报告的作者史蒂芬•迈克威尔教授说：“学习应该贯穿人生的整个过程，我们以前的政策重心和资源配置更多偏重于年轻人，难以适应新的需求。 绝大多数教育预算集中在二十五岁以下的年轻人身上。当今社会，由于人们工作和居住地不断变化，生活伴侣和生活方式也不断更新，处在各种年龄段的人们都渴望重新学习的机会。”例如，该报告指出有些人到了五十多岁又重新开始创业。 人们需要一个“中年回首”的机会来适应以后的工作生涯，规划退休后的角色转化。这种转化可以发生在五十岁到九十多岁的漫长时间内。应该有更多的资金来保证人们塑造个性和在“第三年龄段”发挥建设性作用。 命题风向标 2009年12月19日的大学英语四级考试已经尘埃落定，纵观本次考试的完形填空题型，难度与往年相比差别不大。 与往年有所不同的是本次考试完形填空首段没有空格，这无疑增加了信息的传达，一定程度上减少了解题的难度。尽管首段没有空格，但考生对于首段应该给予足够的重视，因为往往它就是文章的中心，它体现的观点决定全文的观点，所以多花一点时间看首段是值得的。
148 词汇辨析仍然是考察的重点，如68，69，75，76，81，83，84，85，86。主要以近义词、形近异义词辨析为主。其中不乏难度词汇：adequate，superior，regulations，stability，ratio，realms，assets等。有关考察逻辑关系的题目出现频率较高，如72，78，80，81，83，85，86，但难度都不是很大，根据上下文语意均可轻松化解。 另外，考生在选择时还要根据上下文的复现或同现以及这些词之间的有机联系来确定答案。由于完形填空的文章是一个意义相关联的语篇，围绕一个话题论述，因此在行文中词语的重复、替代、复现和同现现象是不可避免的。根据这个原则，某一个空格所对应的答案很可能就是在上下文中复现或同现的相关词：原词、同义词、近义词、反义词等。如70challenges，71题retirement，73题learning等，都是在全文中复现较高的字眼。因此，在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。PartⅥTranslation 87.hadfollowedmyinstructions/orders 【结构分析】本句的主语是You。谓语动词是wouldnothavefailed。ifyouhadfollowedmyinstructions是if引导的条件状语从句。 【要点解析】本题考查的是虚拟语气的用法。①if从句的虚拟语气考查，根据语法规定，如果主句中出现would+have的形式，从句中应该采用had+过去分词的结构。②“按照……的指令”可表达为followmyinstructions/orders。③根据主句的wouldnothavefailed结构就可以推断这是对过去事实的虚拟，那么从句则是had+done结构，所以答案为youhadfollowedmyinstructions/orders。
149 【原句精译】如果你按照我的指令去做，就不会失败了。 88.gaveuppursuingknowledge 【结构分析】本句的主语是Mark。谓语是gaveuppursuingknowledge。despitethehardshipheencountered是despite引导的状语从句。 【要点解析】本题考查动词give的搭配。①“放弃”可译为giveup。②encounterthehardship也是非常重要的固定搭配，意为“遇到困难”。需要填写的部分应该采用过去时。③“对知识的追求”可译为pursuingknowledge. 【原句精译】尽管马克遇到困难，但是他从未放弃对知识的追求。 【能力拓展】动词give的常见搭配。①giveup放弃，交出例：Whenyougraduate,willyougiveupyourstudy?你毕业后会不会放弃学习?②giveoneselfupto献身于，沉溺于，热衷于例：Theboygiveshimselfuptoelectronicgames.这个男孩沉溺于电子游戏。③giveaway泄露，出卖例：Hegavemysecretaway.他泄露了我的秘密。④givein屈服，让步例：Youmustgiveinyourexaminationpapersnow.你们现在必须把试卷交上来。 89.beforewefindthemethodsofcuringcancers/beforewefindthecureforcancer 【结构分析】本句的主语是Scientists，谓语是agree，thatitwillbealongtime是that引导的宾语从句，beforewefindthemethodsofcuringcancers是before引导的时间状语从句。
150 【要点解析】“治愈”可译为cure，而不应译为treat，treat是“治疗”的意思。cure有疗法的意思，所以治愈癌症的方法还可以译为cureforcancer。根据句子的已知部分，可以判断出填写的部分用一般现在时 【原句精译】科学家们认为，要过很长时间才能找到治愈癌症的方法。 【能力拓展】before引导的状语从句。①句型A：it+be+一段时间+before…：意思是“要过很久才会……”。例：ThefieldresearchwilltakeJohnandMikeaboutfivemonths;itwillbealongtimebeforewemeetthemagain.实地考察要花约翰和迈克五个月的时间;他们过很久才会再见面。②句型B：itwassometimebefore…：意思是“在……之前过了一段时间”。例：Hewastoldthatitwouldbeatleastthreemoremonthsbeforehecouldrecoverandreturntowork.他被告知至少过三个月才能康复，重返工作岗位。 90.keeppacewiththeconstantlyincreasingdemandsofconsumers或keepupwiththeconstantlygrowingneedsofconsumers 【结构分析】本句的主语是Production，谓语是hastobeincreased，后面的tokeeppacewiththeconstantlyincreasingdemandsofconsumers是目的状语。 【要点解析】①固定搭配“与……保持同步”，可以翻译为keeppacewith或keepupwith。②“不断增长的”，可以翻译为increasing，growing或rising。③“需求”可翻译为demands或needs。④“
151消费者”翻译为consumer。 【原句精译】只有大幅提高产量才能与消费者不断增长的需求保持同步。 【能力拓展】①keeppacewith和……并驾齐驱，跟上例：Wemustworkhardtokeeppacewiththedevelopmentofmoderntechnology.我们必须努力学习才能跟上现代科技的发展。②keepupwith赶得上，和……保持联系例：Studentsmustworkhardtokeepupwiththeirschoolwork.学生必须努力学习才能跟上功课。 91.thefewerchancesyouwillhaveofcatchingacold 【结构分析】本句的前半部分是从句，后半部分是主句。主句的主语是You。谓语是willhave。【要点解析】本题主要考查themore，theless的用法。其用法与themore，themore一致，可翻译为“越……越……”。①固定搭配“可能做某事”，可翻译为belikelytodosth;②固定搭配“感冒”，可翻译为catchacold。 【原句精译】锻炼越多，你越不大可能感冒。【能力拓展】“越……越……”句型：这种句型表达为：the+比较级+句子，the+比较级+句子。若themore修饰名词，则名词要提前，直接置于themore后，如试题中句子：Themoreexerciseyoutake,thefewerchancesyouwillhaveofcatchingacold2010年6月英语四级考试真题PartIWriting(30minutes)

220 虽然学生人群都还不是为人父母的群体，但是作为家庭中的孩子，对这个命题同样具有第一人称的解析角度。这给了考生完整的发挥空间，也反映了非常现实的社会问题。 很多中国家长已经习惯于把孩子“捧在手心怕掉了，含在嘴里怕化了”。对这种状态和现状，考生们可以想起很多生活中的例子，家长帮助孩子的方方面面，日常生活、升学、就业、婚姻等等。对一个家庭而言，这样长大的孩子，其实缺失了人格独立成长和完善。对一个社会而言，失去的更重要的是个体社会的人独立精神的丧失。 分析前几年的考研作文，有很多都是和现今学生生活息息相关的。其中涉及了学生生活中的一些现象，比如2003年“温室的花朵经不起风雨”，讲的是年轻人被溺爱的问题；个人觉得这样的作文命题时隔若干年再次出现，很及时也很有必要性。一个社会和民族的人们是具有独立精神的，这个民族和社会也是最有根基和前途的。所以，非常赞同以这样的社会关注重点作为命题的角度，不断提醒或者是警示年青的一代，在一个个的个体家庭环境中，如何独立的成长。2010年12月英语四级考试经典范文更新日期：2010-12-1910:31 浏览:780次 所属分类/专题：四级真题家长是否应该帮助孩子走向独立有些家长替孩子包揽一切为了帮孩子自立，家长应该

226 沪江考前模板专题里面关于解决问题类作文提到了类似的结构： Inrecentdays,wehavetofaceaproblem-----A,whichisbecomingmoreandmoreserious.--------(说明A的现状)． ConfrontedwithA,weshouldtakeaseriesofeffectivemeasurestocopewiththesituation.Foronething,---------------(解决方法一).Foranother-------------(解决方法二).Finally,--------------(解决方法三). Personally,Ibelievethat-------------(我的解决方法).Consequently,I’mconfidentthatabrightfutureisawaitingusbecause--------------(带来的好处). 像这样子的模板能够帮助无话可说，或者说英语表达能力比较弱的同学迅速找到思路，只需要填入关键的字词就可以完成作文。 但是对于能够用流畅的英语表达自己的思路的同学来说，写作如果希望取得比较高的分数，则需要注意语言必须尽可能简洁才能够在规定字数以内说清楚自己的论点，而句子的表达要求，也从有话可说，上升到言之有理，甚至上升到语言精致优美，内在逻辑严密的高度了。 在我们给出大家的这篇范文里面，三段文字结构清晰，语言简明优美又没有落入模板的窠臼，属于在临场作文中的优秀之作。 PartⅡ ReadingComprehension（SkimmingandScanning） 1．A)Peopleinstinctivelyseeknatureindifferentways. 解析：第一段最后一句直接给出关键字profoundbelief,whether引导的从句对应答案中的instinctively
227 2．D)Thingsthatarepurchased. 解析：第二段最后一句，whatisbest对应题目中的prefer,thatistosay作为暗示直接引出之后的thingsthatcanbebought,选择D 3．B)Moreaccesstonaturemakeschildrenlesslikelytofallill. 解析：题干中有关瑞典研究，定位到第四段第一句，结合语义，不难得出B的正确答案 4．D)arelesslikelytobeinvolvedinbullying 解析：A选项具有干扰性，第三段结尾给出自然熏陶能够提高学生学科水平的线索，但考虑到快速阅读题的传统，即题目顺序对应文章顺序，所以应该定位到第四段之后的内容，即大段有关bullying的段落，得出答案D。 5．B)Providemoregreenspacesforthem. 解析：对应第八段内容，作者通过否定患儿对药物的依赖性来给出自己的建议，结合全文主旨自然环境的重要性，得出B答案 6．B)Theyenjoyalifeofbetterquality. 解析：第九段第二句点出老龄人口增长的侧重点是在高质量的生活水平上，紧接着又指出绿色的生活方式是达到该种高质量生活水平的最重要因素。 7．C)accesstonaturecontributestothereductionofviolence 解析：十一段引文中canreduceviolentbehavior，直接对应C选项 8．separated
228 解析：题干是有关人们错误观念的问题，找到倒数第三段的关键段error引导的内容，再对应到humanityandthenaturalworld，得出separated(照抄原文separable与can重复，separable本身词义即能够分离的) 9．thewildworld 解析：最后一段第二句直接命中题干，照抄thewildworld即可。 10.harmony 解析：最后几段内容的小标题直接给出harmony PartⅢ ListeningComprehension SectionA 短对话（11~18） 答案及解析： 11.A)Themanshouldvisitthemuseums.B)Shecan’tstandthehotweather. C)Thebeachresortisagoodchoice.D)SheenjoysstayinginWashington. 答案：D 解析：Woman最后说到I’llbehappyherenomatterwhatthetemperature.这表明了她待在这里很愉快，很享受待在华盛顿，故选D。 12.A)Hernewresponsibilitiesinthecompany.
229 B)Whatherjobprospectsare. C)Whatthecustomers’feedbackis. D)Thedirector’sopinionofherwork. 答案：D 解析：Woman说到butIwishthedirectorwouldgivemesomefeedback.这表明了她希望得到director的意见（即反馈），故选D。 13.A)Combinehertrainingwithdieting. B)Repeatthetrainingeverythreedays.

C)Whethershecantravelbyair.D)Whethershewillcompletelyrecover. 答案：C 解析：Man开头就说到I’mworriedabouthergoingonaplane.从中可知，他担心的是年老的母亲能不能乘飞机，故选C。 15.A)Thewomanknowshowtodealwiththepolice. B)Thewomanhadbeenfinedmanytimesbefore. C)Thewomanhadviolatedtrafficregulations.
230 D)Thewomanisgoodatfindingexcuses. 答案：C 解析：警察开头问到Whydidn’tyoustopwhenwefirstsignaledyouatthecrossroads?通过这句话就可以知道女士没有遵守交通规则，故选C。 16.A)Switchofftherefrigeratorforawhile. B)Havesomeonerepairtherefrigerator. C)Askthemantofixtherefrigerator. D)Buyarefrigeratorofbetterquality. 答案：B 解析：Man说到Maybeyoushouldhaveitfixed，女士回答到You’reright. 这说明女士也同意男士的看法，但并未提到让这个男士来修，故选B。 17.A)Heownsapieceoflandinthedowntownarea. B)Hehasgotenoughmoneytobuyahouse. C)Hecanfinallydowhathehasdreamedof. D)Heismovingintoabiggerapartment. 答案：C 解析：Man第二句话说到Now,IhaveenoughmoneytobuythatpieceoflandI’vehadmyeyeonandbuildahouseonit.表明他能实现买地建房的理想了，故选C。
231 18.A)Sheisblackandblueallover. B)Shehastogotoseeadoctor. C)Shestayedawayfromworkforafewdays. D)Shegothurtinanaccidentyesterday. 答案：D 解析：Woman说的第一句话是Myhandsstillhurtsfromthefallontheiceyesterday.从中可知这位女士昨天在冰上滑倒受伤了，但是男士认为伤势并不严重，只建议她休养几天就可以了，不必去看医生。C是较强的干扰项，应该是女士现在需要休息而不是过去已经休息了几天，故选D。 对话精析： 第一个短对话： 谈论天气theheatisunbearable，强调有了华盛顿的museumsandrestaurants，天气再热也无所谓I’llbehappyherenomatterwhatthetemperature. 学会看看生活中的积极因素，有了博物馆和餐馆，天气再热都热爱华盛顿，这是何等的乐天精神啊！ 第二个短对话： 谈论新工作，I’mlearningalotofnewthings,butIwishthedirectorwouldgivemesomefeedback.我学了很多新东西呢，但是我希望上司能给我点反馈！！！feedback是反馈也是答案的题眼。这位女士想知道什么呢，想知道上司对她的看法嘛！
232 第三个短对话： 关于锻炼身体的，还是关于制定锻炼身体的计划的！Canyouhelpmeworkoutaphysicaltrainingprogram,John?你能帮我制定个锻炼的项目吗？Sure,butwhateveryoudobecarefulnottooverdoit.当然啦，不过不管你做什么，得小心点别过头啊！接下来的句子是举例子LasttimeIhadtwoweeks’worthofweight-liftinginthreedaysandIhurtmyself.上次我三天就完成了两个星期的举重的训练，结果我就受伤了。 问题是这个男人要建议这个女人什么？ 四六级考试委员会一片苦心啊，这里分明在告诫同学们，平时锻炼身体悠着点儿。 第四个短对话： 这个对话好！弘扬爱护老人的美德的！ 儿子说，我妈妈年纪大啦，Ihaveanelderlymother然后表达他对妈妈乘飞机的担心I’mworriedabouthergoingonaplane.Isthereanyrisk?有没有危险啊？ 接下来，医生的回答，再次体现四六级客观而乐观的精神，Notifherheartisallright.Ifshehasaheartcondition,I’drecommendagainstit.她心脏没问题就没事啊，如果她心脏有问题的话，那我就不建议她去（乘飞机啦） 第五个短对话：
233 交通违规怎么做？！四六级听力教你谦恭有礼做回答。首先，第一句的男士质问，Whydidn’tyoustopwhenwefirstsignaledyouatthecrossroads?我们第一次示意让你在交叉口停车，你干嘛不停呢?(潜台词是，瞧，还不是被我给逮回来训话了么？！在这种情况之下，这位女士态度是诚恳的，Sorry,Iwasjustabitabsent-minded.Anyway,doIhavetopayafine?对不起啊，我有点心不在焉。但不管怎么说，我需要罚款吗? 人嘛，都是有时候情绪化的嘛，并且我认罚，这句子学会了顺便大家开车的素质都提高了哈！ 第六个短对话： 家庭琐事。 第一个人说，I’mnoexpert我不是专家butthatnoiseinyourrefrigeratordoesn’tsoundright.Maybeyoushouldhaveitfixed.但是你冰箱里面的噪音听起来不大对啊，也许你应该去修理了吧。haveitfixed这个结构是考官们发誓要考生学会的havesthdone的结构。 第二个人开腔了，You’reright.对话基调钉牢，我同意你，就是冰箱确实坏了。AndIsupposeI’veputitofflongenough.我恐怕我已经拖得够久了，putoff,另一个考官立誓要教会全中国考生的内容，拖延，putoff,核心之核心。 问题，这女的可能会怎么做呢？ 她学会了核心单词听懂了整个对话以后，一定会去修冰箱！！并且，这里强调是找人修冰箱，haveitfixed而不是她自己修！shewillfixitherself.
234 第七个短对话： 买房问题。全国热议啊，考试考到的角度那是真叫一个艺术！ 我市区的公寓卖得不错！Ididextremelywellonthesaleofmydowntownapartment.也就是说卖了一个好价钱啦！Now,IhaveenoughmoneytobuythatpieceoflandI’vehadmyeyeonandbuildahouseonit.现在，我可有钱买一块我早就看中的地啦，我能建一所房子啦！ 偷偷感叹下，这说明了城乡的房价是多么滴有茶具啊！不过考官还是仁慈的，不考那么隐晦的，来个简单的，听到这句话的人呢说Congratulations！Doesthatmeanyou’llbemovingsoon? 恭喜你啊，那这是不是说明你很快要搬家了啊？！ 问题问我们知道第一个陈述的那个男人什么情况？！简单，字面意思就够你用来解答了，卖公寓了有了钱买地建房子了！ 第八个短对话： 还是运动，不过这里面涉及了一点点西方的固定搭配，blackandblue又黑又蓝，这实际上说的是咱中文里面的，身上摔得又青又紫。 第一个人是在说她昨天在冰上摔了一跤，手到现在还疼呢，Myhandstillhurtsfromthefallontheiceyesterday.IwonderifIbrokesomething.我想知道我是不是摔坏哪儿了啊 （Iwonderif这个句型好，走过路过不要错过，IwonderifIcouldgetmarriedwithSisterPhoenix我真想知道我能不能娶凤姐啊？！） 下面这位男士的回答是，I’mnodoctor,butit’snotblackandblue
235oranything.Maybeyoujustneedtorestitforafewdays.我不是医生，但是如果没有什么又青又紫也没其他问题的话，也许你只是需要休息几天罢了。 问题，此女发生了什么问题? 答案，手摔了，焦虑，问了一男的，这男的很冷静，告诉她没啥事。 长对话（19~25） 答案及解析： 19.Whatdowelearnaboutthewoman? 答案：D)Shewasawitnesstothecrime. 解析：文中男士需要女士描述一下抢劫银行的人（describethemanwhorobbedthebank）。选项中B提到了robbery，但是对话中没有说明女士是受害者（victim）；D选项提到了她目击了某个犯罪经过，robbery显然是crime的一种。 20.Whatdidthesuspectlooklike? 答案：A)Atallmanwithdarkhairandamoustache. 解析：原文中提到Themanwastall,sixfoot,andhehaddarkhair,andhehadmoustache.，对应选项A。 21.Whatdidthemanfinallyaskedthewomantodo? 答案：A)Identifythesuspectfrompictures. 解析：对话结尾处，男士要求女士lookatsomephotographs，很显然，他的目的是让女士通过照片来辨别嫌疑人。因此选择A。
236 22.Howdidthewomangettoknowaboutthejobvacancy? 答案：A)Byreadinganewspaperad. 解析：jobvacancy指空缺的职位。在对话一开始，女士就说到她的目的：I’mcallingaboutthejobthatwasinthepaperlastnight.从这句话中可以看出她得知职位信息的来源是thepaperlastnight，对应A选项。 23.Whydidthewomanfindthejobappealing? 答案：B)Shecouldworkclosetoherfamily. 解析：本题关键词是appealing，意为引起兴趣的。女士提到她喜欢这份工作的原因是beneartothefamily.，close是near的同义替换词，因此选择B选项。 24.WhathadthewomanbeendoinginGeneva? 答案：C)Workingasasecretary. 解析：女士提到她在日内瓦做了一些secretarialwork，也就是选项C中的secretary。虽然她也提到之前在大学学习，但是她取得的学位是adegreeinEnglish，而非选项D中的adegreeinFrench. 25.Whatwasthewomanaskedtodointheend? 答案：C)Sendinawrittenapplicationassoonaspossible. 解析：对话中女士希望得到面试机会，但是男士要求先要递交书面申请（replyawritingtotheadvertisement），并不是所有人都能得到面试机会，因此选择答案C。 题材考点分析：
237 长对话第二篇围绕女士求职面试展开，男士问了很多关于女士个人信息的问题，女士做出回答。做题时需要考生把握住对话大意、抓住细节信息以及两人的态度。 对话中的考点主要集中在细节、重点一些词组含义，以及同意词组替换。对话中关键信息包括：beenworkinginGeneva,secretarialwork,degreeinEnglish,beneartothefamily,applicationsinwriting等。考题也正是针对这些关键信息出的，在听的时候考察考生对于细节的把握，尤其是叙述相同类型的事情时，更需要记下其中的区别，从而在做题时能够准确的选出选项。如对话中提到女士会French和English，区别是会说French，拿到了degreeinEnglish. 其中有几题考察同义词组替换。比如23题中用close替换了near，24题中用secretary替换了secretarialwork。选项中频频出现同义词组替换，由此可见考生平时应该注意积累同一个意思不同的表达法。 另外，从说话的语气和表达情绪的词，也可以听出说话人的态度。比如女士在问到能否安排面试时，男士的回答“Well,I’mafraid…”由此看出男士否定了女士的想法。因此在做题中，很容易地排除了安排面试的选项。 总体来说，这篇听力难度中等，关键是要抓住细节。 SectionB PassageOne 听力文章分析：
238 本文难度不大，生词和难词不是很多，关键是整体上的及关键句的理解。先是消防队员在营救火灾中时常遇到小孩对消防队员的设备不熟悉，以为是带着面具的怪兽（monster），从而躲起来，无法得到及时营救而丧失的现象入手，引出EricVelez为了防止此类现象再次发生，在社区里开始对孩子消防知识的教育。再举例进一步说明教育性质的演讲在拯救生命的巨大作用。最后再简略地说下此类演讲的其他作用。 做题要点： （1）抓关键句。一般篇章类听力，篇幅较长，听的时候一定要学会准确提取有用的信息，如原因目的、结果、数字、开头和结尾部分等。 “becausetheythinktheyhaveseenamonster”“Topreventsuchtragedies,firefighterEricVelezgivestalkstochildreninhiscommunity,explainingthattheyshouldneverhideduringafire.”“Butit’safactthatinformativespeakingsaveslives.”“PeteGentryinNorthCarolinarescuedhisbrotherwhoischokingonfood,”“Inadditiontosavinglives,” 这几句就包括了所有题目的答案，只要抓住这几句并理解了其意，题目就不难做出。 （2）抓住细节，但无需执着于细节。 本文的题目每题都设置了很多细节干扰项。如果太过执着于细节，如frightenedbysmokeandnoise；EricVelezlearntSpanishfromhisimmigrantparents
239就会使得做题时容易被细节分心，从而无法立即准确地判断和加以选择。 重点词汇： firefighters消防队员monster怪兽、怪物heartbreaks伤心事catchaglimpseof瞥见masked戴面具的oxygenmask氧气面罩informative教育性的，有益的 答案及解析： 26.D)Theymistakethefirefightersformonsters. 解析：细节题，从开始whenchildrencatchaglimpseofthemaskedfirefighterbuthidebecausetheythinktheyhaveseenamonster一句中便可得出因为不熟悉消防人员戴面具的形象，孩子们以为来救援的消防人员是怪兽，所以躲起来。所以选D。其他选项文中都没有涉及到。 27.B)Heoftenteacheschildrenwhattododuringafire. 解析：本篇文章大篇幅讲的是EricVelez给社区里的孩子讲解消防知识，让他们熟悉消防人员及消防工具的过程。选项A，putoutfire虽然是EricVelez的工作，但是本文重点不是在其消防员救活这个工作上，C、D选项很容易就可以排除。所以选B。 28.A)Hesavedthelifeofhisbrotherchokingonfood. 解析：细节题，从PeteGentryinNorthCarolinarescuedhisbrotherwhoischokingonfood一句便可得出答案，文章中关于PeteGentry的主要信息就是他救了噎着食物的弟弟。所以选A。做题时一定要把人名及其所做的事准确对应起来。 29.D)Informativespeechescansavelives.
240 解析：主旨题，本文举了一个大例子，一下小例子来证明教育性的演说有救人性命的好处。虽然在文章最后也列举了下其他好处，但是主旨还是拯救生命。所以选D。其他几个选项都主要讲细节处，很容易就可以排除。 PassageTwo 听力文章分析： 本篇听力讲述的是截然不同的两种生活态度，一种是“makeandsavealotofmoneyinordertoretireearly”，另一种则是“liveonlyfortoday”，作者在陈述两种不同态度之后，针对两种态度给出了自己的看法“it'sbettertopickthespend-allapproach”。本篇听力不是太难，没有较难的词汇，虽然有几个需要注意的句式，如：“Attheotherextremearepeoplewholiveonlyfortoday.Whybothersaving…”等，但是通过上下文也是不难理解的，而且结构也比较清楚，基本上可以分为三部分：两种不同的态度和作者的观点，所考察的三道题也上针对了这三个主要的点。由此可见，听听力的时候依然首先要从全文来把握，把握文章的要点，在把握要点的基础上，有重点的去听一些细节，如与要点相关的原因和后果，以及作者本人对这些事情的看法，遇到与此相关的信号词或者关键词时就一定要注意重点记忆。 答案及解析： 30.C)Tomakemoneyforearlyretirement. 解析：本题考察原因，问为什么人们喜欢比较苛求但收入较高的工作，其实听力一开始就用inorderto给出了原因，即：retire
241early，所以选C项。 31.A)Theymayhavetocontinuetoworkinoldage. 解析：本题考察后果，问只为当下而活的人面临着什么危险，从“Theearlierneglectofsaving,however,makesitdifficultnottoworkwhenyouareolder.”中可以看出A是正确选项，及在年老时有可能不得不继续工作。 32.B)Enjoyingyourselfwhileyoucan. 解析：本课考察文章作者的态度，从“Postponingdoingwhatyouloveandbeingwithpeopleyouloveuntilretirementcanbeamistake.”中可以看出，作者认为想等到退休后再做自己想做的事情以及和自己喜欢的人在一起可能是一种错误，所以选B，即趁着自己还可以的时候要懂得享受生活。 PassageThree 听力文章分析： 此篇短文听力难度适中。叙述者，即文中的speaker，通过记叙自己的境遇表达个人观点。三个自然段分别对应文章后的三道题，结构清晰明了，题目答案导向明确。 第一段通过开篇点题引出本文话题，“以偏概全”着实有失公平； 第二段记叙一个发生在GrabenGore饭店的故事，关键句：Anewsigninthewindowtoldthestory.“Nomorethantwostudentsatatime”； 第三段同样是记叙一个发生在药店的故事，故事情节较为简单。 此三题听时关键在于抓关键句子，个别人名等不需做过多关注。
242 答案及解析： 33.C)Innocentpeoplebeingsuspectedgroundlessly。 文章第一段中，由”Howfairwillthatbe”的前一句和后一句均可推出此答案。前一句即“一个邻居犯了法，所有的邻居们都成了怀疑对象”。后一句即“因为有些学生小偷小摸，所有的学生就都被当成小偷来看待……”，二者表明一个意思，即“无辜者被毫无理由的怀疑属实不公平”。 34.D)Allowingonlytwostudentstoenteratatime。 第一个小故事中的一个关键句后面紧跟答案。该关键句为，”Anewsigninthewindowtoldthestory.” 而这个sign的内容就是紧随其后的“Nomorethantwostudentsatatime”. 35.B)Hewascloselywatched. 此题需要自己稍作总结，最后一个小故事说到文中的“我”去药店，却一直被盯着；此事让“我”很是不满。 SectionC 36.preserve 37.appreciate 38.households 39.chat 40.convenient 41.rates

244wereraised意思是“你成长的环境”。 48."psychologicalactivity"意思是“心理活动”，全句意思是“研究基因和外部环境如何相互作用影响人心理活动的学科被称为行为遗传学”。 49.“makecontributionsto”为固定搭配，意为“为……做贡献”。 50.“abilityto…”意思是“做某事的能力”，在此处，全句意思是“任何一篇宣称人类做出某种行为的能力是基于生物学的研究都是有争议的”。 51."limitationstowhatyoucanachieve"意思是“对你所能达到的水平的限制”。 52.此处需填一个形容词，而且用来形容人，根据题意，smart符合题意，表示“机灵，可爱”。 53.此处填extent，主要是因为后面有to，“totheextent…”译为“……的程度”。 54.indicate意思是“表明，显示”。全句意为“越来越多的科学（现象）表明基因对人类很多特征有基础作用”。 55.essentially的意思是“实际上，本质上”。全句意为“从这个角度来讲，人一出生，本质上就像是还没洗出来的照片：相已经照了，但是最终会呈现多少就在于显影的过程了”。 56.eventually副词，意思是“最终，最后”。 SectionB来源：www.examda.com PassageOne
245 57.C)fewindustrialscientistswouldquittoworkinauniversity 推理题。“one-waystreet”字面意思是“单行道”，含有只能从一个方向前进却很难往相反方向前进的意思，用了比喻用法。文章第二句就解释说明了这个“one-waystreet”在文中的含义。大学里的学者去商界创业的现象不算稀奇，但是反过来就不怎么常见。所以选择C选项。 58.A)keepssomeonefromtakingaction 推理题。“deterrent”有妨碍物的意思。在文中需要通过上下文来理解。单词前的意思是“薪水永远是最大的…因为很多人觉得到大学里工作就会减少工资，从而无法养家糊口。”从后面半句，我们可以推断出deterrent的意思，所以选A选项。 59.B)Herresearchinterests. 细节题。答案在Para3Line3可以找到。“Hermainreasonfor…totakeadvantageofthegreatfreedomtochooseresearchquestions.”表明HelenLee换行主要考虑到的是自己可以比较自由地选择研究领域，即个人的研究兴趣。所以选择B选项。 60.D)exploitbetterintellectualopportunities 细节题。本题比较简单，在Para3最后一句“feltitworthwhileforthegreatintellectualopportunities”就可以找到答案。 61.A)Increaseitsgraduates’competitivenessinjobmarket. 推理题。本着一题对应一段的一般原则，我们应该在最后一段里找答案。“thedemandforscientistswithawealthofexperienceinindustryin…“thatwillhelpstudentsgetajobwhenthey
246graduate”段落主要是在讲industrialscientists到大学教学后的主要贡献。所以选择A项。 PassageTwo 62.D)marriagecontributestoagreatdealoflongevity 解析：第一段提到“butthebiggestlongevityboostseemstocomefrommarriageoranequivalentrelationship.”紧接着就说到“Theeffectwasfirstnotedin1958byWilliamFarr,…”。句中的boost和选项D中的contribute有相近的意思，故选择D。 63.B)marriagecanhelpmakeupforillheath 解析：LindaWaite举例子说到一个有心脏病的已婚男人可以比未婚但是健康的男人多活4年。因此，婚姻可以弥补身体不健康带来的不利因素，故选B。 64.A)thedisadvantagesofbeingmarried 解析：flipside的愿意是唱片的另一面，在这里前面已经分析过婚姻的好处，这里指的就是婚姻的反面，故选A。 65.A)Theyhaveeffectssimilartothoseamarriage. 解析：第二段最后一句…howallkindsofsocialnetworkshavesimilareffects.故选择A。 66.B)Tostayhealthy,oneshouldhaveapropersocialnetwork. 解析：最后一段提到如果想生活的更长久到100岁，就要发展自己的社交网络，故选B。 PartⅤ
247 Cloze 答案： 67.Dcameout 68.Cless 69.Dby 70.Aalmost 71.Bdeveloped 72.Cgrowth 73.Blead 74.Apressure 75.Bservices 76.Binto来源：考试大的美女编辑们 77.Cdriven 78.Cwealth 79.Cunless 80.Dexpand 81.Cat 82.Ccommon 83.Amajor 84.Dtrend 85.Cbut 86.Bpossibilities
248 解析： 67.Dcameout表示出版，公布，这里表示报告的公布。 68.Cless根据上下文可知这里说的是都市人口的增长，强调之前的少和现在的多，所以用少于更合适。lessthan：少于，不到。 69.Dby在这里表示截止到某时间为止。 70.Aalmost几乎，将近，对前面的解释，说明人口有多少。 71.Bdeveloped根据上下文意思，以及后文相对的developingworld可知应该是发达国家，即：developedcountries。 72.Cgrowth仔细阅读的话可以发现下文就有答案，这里讲的是都市人口的增长，所以用growth。 73.Bleadleadto表示导致，通向，本段末也有出现过，在这里是说都市化有助于社会和经济的进步。 74.Apressure从下文的描述可以看出过快的都市化也给城市带来了巨大压力，所以选pressure。 75.Bservices服务，城市为人们提供住房和服务。 76.Binto介词选择，moveinto移入，迁入；固定搭配。 77.Cdriven表示推动，驱动，drivenby由…驱动，由什么原因引起的。 78.Cwealth财富；socialdivisionanddifferencesinwealth社会分化和财富上的差距。 79.Cunless除非，这里说的是除非城市规划更好，否则各部分财富分配不均的局面将可能导致犯罪问题。
249 80.Dexpand指扩张，expandintoruralareas扩张到农村地区。 81.Catatamuchfasterrate以更快的速度，固定搭配 82.Ccommon表示某事件很普遍，平常。从下文的acrossAmerica可知这种情况很普遍很常见。 83.Amajormajorcities，大城市，与后文中的smallercities形成对比 84.Dtrend趋势，这里是对前面情况的概括，atrendtowardde-urbanization表示一种逆城市化的发展趋势。 85.Cbut表示转折，说城市还是有自身优点的，与前面的“逆城市化”形成转折关系。 86.Bpossibilities可能性，这里表示城市依然能够提供农村所不能提供的机会和可能性。 整篇解析： 这篇完型填空取材自2009年10月9日的VOASpecialEnglish节目，谈论的是城市发展的问题。从抓主旨的角度来说，这样一篇小小200词的文章，纵览了世界城市发展史，又横览了城市化带来的种种问题，里面的核心论点之间逻辑关联紧密，考生如果没有任何背景知识和推理能力，解题会遇到一定的困难。比如说第二个空格，很多考生在more
250和less之中犹豫不决，在没有具体背景信息的情况之下，就需要依据上下文的文脉进行推理。既然强调的是城市化的迅速发展，从5%到几乎70%，这个5%前面究竟填入超过还是不到。从作者的叙述语气一致可以推知，他必定在感叹这个变化的巨大，因此前文应该是不到5%。对于into/at这样一些介词小词的考查历来都是完型填空的重点，moveintocities/atafasterrate，这都是比较容易选择的基础搭配。 PartⅥ Translation 87．___________________(为了确保他参加会议)，Icalledhimupinadvance. 解析：Inordertoensurehimtoattendthemeeting Toensurehisattendanceatthemeeting 【结构分析】本题句子的主干“Icalledhimupinadvance”已经给出，无需翻译，需要翻译部分为“为了确保他能参加会议”。该部分在句子中作目的状语 【考点解释】本题考查是目的状语。①目的状语可以由to/inorderto来引导。②确保ensuresbtodo确保某人做某事，ensuresth确保某事 【原句精释】为了确保他参加会议，我已经提前给他电话了。 88．Thesignificantmuseum________________(据说建成于)aboutahundredyearsago. 解析：issaidtohavebeenbuilt 【结构分析】本题句子的主语为thesignificantmuseum，缺谓语，即（据说建成于） aboutahundredyearsago为时间状语。 【考点解释】本题重点考查：①
251被动语态。主语museum与动词build之间为被动关系;且bulid这一动作发生在过去。②据说besaidto；besaidto+动词不定式的完成时，表示不定式表示的动作已经完成。 【原句精释】据说这座意义深远的博物馆大约建成于一百年前。 89．Therewouldbenolifeonearth____________________(没有地球独特的环境)。 解析:withoutitsuniqueenvironment butforitsuniqueenvironment 【结构分析】本题句子含有Therebe结构。主干完整，there主语，wouldbe谓语，nolife表语，onearth地点状语 【考点解释】本题重点考查：①without的用法without是介词，后接名词；同时，表示“没有”，除without外，还可用butfor；②单词拼写uniqueadj.独特；environmentn.环境③当名词重复出现时，可适当使用代词，避免重复。 【原句精释】没有地球独特的环境，地球上就不会有生命。 90．______________________________(给游客印象最深的)wasthefriendlinessandwarmthofthelocalpeople. 解析：Whatimpressedthetouristsmost 【结构分析】本题句子为主系表结构，主语即考查部分，was系动词，剩余部分为表语。 【考点解释】本题重点考查①what引导的主语从句；what可引导句子充当主语；②impress用法给…留下印象impresssb；③
252最高级的用法most；结合考点②③，可推出“给…印象最深”为impresssbmost 【原句精释】当地人的友善与热情给游客们留下了最深的印象。 91．Theyrequestedthat___________________________(我借的书还回图书馆)bynextFriday. 解析：booksIborrowed(should)bereturnedtothelibrary I(should)returnthebookIborrowedtothelibrary 【结构分析】本题句子的主干部分分别是they主语，request谓语，后接that引导的宾语从句。 【考点解释】①request的用法。requestv.要求；当request表示“要求”时，引导的宾语从句要使用虚拟语气，即（should）+动词原形。②定语从句。“我借的书”，thebook(that)Iborrowed；③单词的拼写。归还return，借borrow，图书馆library④本题就此题提供了两个版本的答案，但在表示“规定，规则”时，被动语态更为常用。 【原句精释】他们要求我在下周五之前把借的书还回图书馆。2011年6月大学英语四级真题PartIWriting(30minutes)

283按照四级作文的要求，考生在第一段时应该总述现象并引出话题；第二段考生应当从正反两方面来论述网购，分别铺陈其优缺点；关于优点，网购的优点很多，考生可择其最突出显著的方面来阐述，比如说网购可以节省很多时间；网购可以节省很多成本开支等；其次，缺点方面考生可以把重心放在诚信方面；为了不至于跟优点相比，缺点方面太轻，考生可以考虑稍微提一下其他缺点，比如说与传统购物相比，网购少去了很多砍价的乐趣；第三点要求考生对于第二段列出的缺点给出自己的建议。此处我们可以根据第二段列出的缺点方面给出相应的防范应对措施。整篇作文话题比较好展开，难度不大，只要考生审好题，列出相应点，相信作文不会他是难题。外教版Onlineshoppinghasbeenaboontomanyindustriesandcompanieslookingtoexpandtheirmarkets.Also,it'sconvenientforshopperswhoaretoobusytoleavethehouse.However,insomecasesnothingcanreplaceatruefacetofaceshoppingexperience.Internetshoppingisconvenientforthemotherswhospendalldaydoinghousechoresandforthefatherswhoworkafull-timejob.Ontheotherhand,therearelimitstoshoppingonline,forexample:guessingthecorrectsizeofclothingonacomputerscreencanbeveryfrustrating.

2852.A.aninadequatesupplyofproduction解析：由题干关键词theSecondWorldWar可以定位到原文第四段，二战之前，英国的食品都是进口的，二战之后，食品供应船只遭到攻击，只能依靠配给。故选A，食品供给不足。3.B.Itspeoplecaredmoreforquantity解析：由competewithsomeofitsneighbouringcountries可以定位到原文第6段，theyweren'tlookingfor…,theywerelookingfor…,thisprioritizationofquantityoverqualityprevailedfordecades.可见他们对数量的追求高于质量，因此选B。4.C.allkindsofoverseasvisitors解析：由题干关键词culinary定位到原文第7段，根据最后一句…itsabilitytopleasethetastesofanyinternationalvisitor.而anyinternationalvisitor就等同于答案allkindsofoverseasvisitors。故选C.5.C.Newideasandpresentations解析：问题是按照DavidTamlyn的观点，香港的饮食者喜欢什么。先根据DavidTamlyn这个人名定位到原文第八段，再根据最后一句话HongKongdinersareextremelyresponsivetonewideasorpresentations,…这里的areextremelyresponsiveto在意思上等于题干中的welcome。6.D.maintainBritishtraditionaltastes
286解析：一些饭店修改菜谱，采用新样式，而另外一些则保留英式口味，再根据Tamlynisinthesecondcamp，可知Tamlyn属于后者，即保留原汁原味。故答案选D。7.B.Theyareproducedonexcellentorganicfarms解析：由NeilTomes定位到原文第12段，根据最后两句话…Ithasexcellentorganicfarms,beautifullycraftedcheeses,high-qualitymeats可选出答案B，NeilTomes喜欢英国原料的原因就在于原料产于优秀的有机农场。8.thelocalmarkets解析：根据原文，…whichmeanswetakeourvegetablesfromthelocalmarkets,…即除了从英国直接进口，还有部分蔬菜从本地市场购买的。9.inaBritishway解析：先定位到ThePhoenix那一段，再找到下一段，Weusealotofingredientsthatpeoplewouldn'tperhapsassociateasBritish,butarepresentedinaBritishway.10.sharetheirmeals解析：AtYorkshirePudding,Hillsaysthathisstaffasksdinerswhethertheywouldliketosharetheirmeals.餐厅之所以在上菜之后再供应碟子，原因就在于可能会有人愿意和别人分享食物。PartIIIListeningComprehensionSectionA
28711.M:Shawn'sbeentryingformonthstofindajob.ButIwonderhowhecouldgetajobwhenhelookslikethat.W:Oh,thatpoorguy!Hereallyshouldshavehimselfeveryotherdayatleastandputonsomethingclean.Q:WhatdowelearnaboutShawn?答案：A.Heiscarelessabouthisappearance.解析：男生首先对肖恩能否找到工作表示怀疑，因为他邋遢。女生接着提到肖恩不修边幅，又说他应该每隔一天刮一次胡子，把自己弄得整洁干净一点。由此可知，肖恩是一个对仪容仪表不太注重，比较粗线条的人shave，刮胡子；becarelessabout不在乎，不介意；12.W:IwishJanewouldcallwhensheknowshe'llbelate.Thisisnotthefirsttimewe'vehadtowaitforher.M:Iagree.Butshedoeshavetodrivethroughveryheavytraffictogethere.Q:Whatdoesthemanimply?答案：A.Janemaybecaughtinatrafficjam.解析：本题是推理题，在做题时要注意仔细推敲。女生说：“Jane已经不是第一次迟到让我们等了，我希望她能事先打电话告诉我们一下”，可见女生对Jane迟到的作法是不满的。男生又说：“Iagree.Butshedoeshavetodrivethroughvery
288heavytraffictogethere.”（我同意。但是她到这里的确要遭受很拥堵的交通。）由此得出，男生对此事的态度是理解或宽容的。Jane可能被堵在半路了。13.M:Congratulations!IheardyourbaseballteamisgoingtotheMiddleAtlanticChampionship.W:Yeah,we'reallworkingrealhardrightnow!Q:Whatisthewoman'steamdoing?答案：A.TrainingfortheMid-AtlanticChampionship.解析：对话开头男生提到女生所在的棒球队要参加Mid-AtlanticChampionship.女生说：“we'reallworkingrealhardrightnow!”（我们现在正紧锣密鼓地练习呢！）由此可知，女生所在的棒球队正在进行赛前训练。此题还有一个迷惑选项B,Makingpreparationsforatrans-Atlantictrip,必须注意的是：这里并不是准备旅行，而是准备参赛。14.W:John'sbeenlookingafterhismotherinthehospital.Shewasinjuredinacaraccidenttwoweeksagoandstillincriticalcondition.M:Oh,that'sterrible.Andyouknowhisfatherpassedawaylastyear.
289Q:WhatdowelearnaboutJohn?答案：D.Hehasbeenhavingahardtime.解析：根据听力原文可知，“John'smotherisinthehospitalandhisfatherdiedlastyear.”（约翰的母亲出车祸住院了，父亲两年前也过世了）由此可见，John的近况还是蛮悲惨的；答案也就显而易见了。15.M:Whataboringspeaker!Icanhardlystayawake.W:Well,Idon'tknow.Infact,Ithinkit'sbeenalongtimesinceI'veheardanyoneisgood.Q:Whatdowelearnfromtheconversation?答案：DThewomanthinkshighlyofthespeaker解析：根据听力原文可知，男生觉得演讲无趣，女生却很淡定地说：“其实我已经很久没有听到那么好的发言了”。由此可见，女生对发言还是很肯定的。选项D中“thinkshighlyof”即“对…评价高”，故D是正确答案。16.W:I'mhavingalotoftroublewithlogicanditseemsmyprofessorcan'texplainitinawaythatmakessensetome.M:Youknow,thereisatutoringserviceoncampus.Iwasabouttodropstatisticsbeforetheyhelpedmeout.Q:Whatdoesthemanmean?
290答案：C.Thewomanshouldseekhelpfromtutoringservices.解析：首先女生说她逻辑学得很辛苦，接受不了老师的讲课方式也理解不了课程内容。而后男生说学校有辅导班，他在参加之前几乎要挂科了，辅导班帮了他大忙。言下之意是推荐女生也去上辅导班。17.M:Thisisastylishovercoat.Isawyouwearingitlastweek,did'tI?W:Oh,thatwasn'tme.ThatwasmysisterJill.She'sinyourclass.Q:Whatdoesthewomanmean?答案：C.Jillworetheovercoatlastweek.解析：首先男生问女生上周是否穿过拉风外套，然后女生说：“ThatwasmysisterJill.She'sinyourclass.”（那是我姐姐Jill，她和你同班）也就是说男生很有可能看到的那个穿着拉风外套的人是女生的姐姐Jill。18.M:Jane,supposeyoulostallyourmoneywhiletakingavacationoverseas,whatwouldyoudo?W:Well,IguessI'dsellmywatchorcomputerordosomeoddjobstillIcouldaffordareturnplaneticket.Q:Whatarethespeakerstalkingabout?
291答案：B.Animaginarysituation.解析：根据原文录音可知，对话开头男生讲到：“Jane,supposeyoulostallyourmoneywhiletakingavacationoverseas,whatwouldyoudo?”这里的"suppose"表明“假定、料想”由此可见，两人谈论的是一个虚拟场景。ConversationOne听力原文M:Hello,professorJohnson.W:Hello,Tony.Sowhatshallweworkontoday?M:Well,theproblemisthatthiswritingassignmentisn'tcomingoutright.WhatIthoughtIwaswritingonwastotalkaboutwhatparticularsportmeanstomewhenIparticipatein,W:Whatsportdidyouchoose?M:Idecidedtowriteaboutcross-countryskiing.W:Whatareyougoingtosayaboutskiing?M:That'stheproblem.IthoughtIwouldwriteabouthowpeacefulitistobeoutinthecountry.W:Sowhyisthataproblem?M:AsIstartdescribinghowquietitistobeoutinthewoods.Ikeepmentioninghowmucheffortittakestokeepgoing.Cross-countryskiingisn'taseasyassomepeoplethink.Ittakesalotofenergy,butthat'snotpartofmypaper.SoI

293意为运动中的痛苦与快乐，其中sports一词范围太大，对话中只谈到了cross-countryskiing,因此，C选项错。20.D)Hecan'tdecidewhethertoincludetheeffortpartofskiing.解析：当男生打算将越野滑雪的艰辛剔除出论文时，教授说了一句“Thenyou'llhavetoincludethatinyourpoint.”对应选项D21.A)Newideascomeupasyouwrite.解析：在对话的最后，教授提到“Partofyourpointyouknewbeforehandbutpartyoudiscoveredasyouwrote.That'scommon,right?”这句话意思是说，在写论文之前，论点的一部分我们已经有了，但另一部分在写的过程中才会发现，因此，对应选项A。A选项与D选项较易混淆，但从教授的话中，我们可以看出，不是论点发生变化，而是在写作过程中，会有新的想法产生。这篇长对话因为是围绕论文写作展开，而且涉及了一项我们中国人并不熟悉的运动，越野滑雪，因此，乍听之下，有些小抽象，小陌生。但细听之后，我们会发现，文中有一大段都提到了男生在写作中遇到的纠结处，那就是越野滑雪的畅快和由此所付出的艰辛，文章的主旨自然呼之欲出了。这篇对话主要考察对文章大意的理解，而不是纠结于一词一句的得失，因此，大家在做题时，也要注意把握主干，不要因为听到了一个自己不太熟悉的运动就舍本逐末。ConversationTwo

296tables.Angeleno负责做菜，他妻子负责接待，对应选项B。24.B)Headvertisesalotonradioandinnewspapers.解析：从ButIadvertisealotonradioandinlocalnewspapers.一句中，可以得到对应选项。25.B)Therestaurantatomsphere解析：题目问的是，什么有助于餐厅的成功？对话中提到，IalwaysservethefreshestpossiblefoodandImaketheatmosphereascomfortableandaspleasantasIcan,sothatmycustomerswillwanttocomeback.可见，Angeleno会提供尽可能新鲜的食物和舒适的用餐环境以吸引顾客，因此，对应选项B，也许，有童鞋会问，为什么不选C？注意，C选项是指各种各样的食物，与文意中“新鲜的食物”不符，是错误选项。这篇对话是一篇较为简单的访谈节目，主要涉及一些细节问题，其中，关键细节包括餐馆经营情况，广告宣传情况等，也是考点所在。童鞋们在听时，可以相应地做些简单的笔记，从而准确地选出选项。SectionBPassageOneTherearemanycommonlyheldbeliefsabouteyeglassesandeyesightthatarenotprovenfacts.Forinstance,somepeoplebelievethatwearingglassestoosoonweakenstheeyes.Butthereisnoevidencetoshowthatthestructureofeyesischangedbywearingglassesatayoungage.Wearingthewrong

298通常这种文章首句就是主旨句。这是做听力短文题必须要高度关注的。接下去可以推测下面内容必然围绕主题句展开，通过举例等来论证作者要表明的观点。所以听的时候也要高度专注那些关键词句，如forinstance,however,but,evidence,although,Studiesshowthat...这些关键词句后面的内容是听力常考的地方。最后文章给出一个总结句呼吁人们破除固有的一些认识，去更多了解我们的眼睛，头尾呼应。Questions26to28arebasedonthepassageyouhavejustheard.26.Whatdoesthespeakerwanttotellusabouteyesight?答案：C）Therearemanyfalsenotionsaboutit.解析：从"eyesight"可以把答案定位于第一段，关键词有"weakenstheeyes""lossofvision".注意题目中是问speaker要告诉我们的，所以不要被somepeoplebelieve...误导，看清题目要问什么很重要。容易混淆的是A选项，文中提到如果孩子戴不合适的眼镜会使孩子的视力减弱，但并没有提到孩子经常忽视保护视力。B、D选项文中没有提及，可以排除。27.Whatdostudiesaboutwearingthewrongglassesshow?答案：C）Itcanleadtothelossofvisioninchildren.解析：本题关键词是"studies""wearingthewrongglasses".文章中作者很明显地给出了"Studiesshowthatforadults..."因此了解这个后面的内容，做出本题难度不大。文中说到"foradultsthereisnodanger"，因此排除B选项。"thereisnoevidence...
299thestructureofeyesischanged""itdoesnotpermanentlydamageeyesight"可以排除D选项，注意如果漏听了no，很可能就会选错。A选项前文没有提及，可以排除。28.Whatdowelearnabouteyetransplantingfromthetalk?答案：D）Itcanonlybepartlyaccomplishednow.解析：本题关键词"eyetransplanting"，迅速定位于听力后面部分。A、B、C选项文中没有提及，排除。文章最后部分"Onlycertainpartsoftheeyecanbereplaced""Onlycertainpartsoftheeyecanbereplaced"可以推断出答案是D选项。PassageTwoWhenpeoplecareforanelderlyrelative,theyoftendonotuseavailablecommunityservicessuchasadultdaycarecenters.Ifthecaregiversareadultchildren,theyaremorelikelytousesuchservices,especiallybecausetheyoftenhavejobsandotherresponsibilities.Incontrast,aspouseusuallythewife,ismuchlesslikelytousesupportservicesortoputthedependentpersoninanursinghome.Socialworkersdiscoverthatthewifenormallytriestotakecareofherhusbandherselfforaslongasshecaninordernottouseuptheirlifesavings.Researchershavefoundthatcaringfortheelderlycanbeaverypositiveexperience.Theelderlyappreciatedthecareandattentiontheyreceived.Theywereaffectionateand

304从老板的反应及采取的措施可以推断出，员工们穿滑雪服地原因其实为对差的工作环境向老板提出抗议。SectionCCompoundDictationContrarytotheoldwarningthattimewaitsfornoone,timeslowsdownwhenyouareonthemove.Italsoslowsdownmoreasyoumovefaster,whichmeansastronauts（宇航员）somedaymaysurvivesolonginspacethattheywouldreturntoanearthofthedistantfuture.Ifyoucouldmoveatthespeedoflight,yourtimewouldstandstill,ifyoucouldmovefasterthanlight,yourtimewouldmovebackward.Althoughnoformofmatteryetdiscovered,movesasfastasorfasterthanlight,scientificexperimentshasalreadyconfirmedthatacceleratedmotioncausesatraveler'stimetobestretched.AlbertEinsteinpredictedthisin1905,whenheintroducedtheconceptofrelativetimeaspartofhisspecialtheoryofrelativity.Asearchisnowunderwaytoconfirmthesuspectedexistenceofparticlesofmatterthatmoveataspeedgreaterthanlight,andtherefore,mightserveasourpassportstothepast.Anobsessionwithtime-saving,gaining,wasting,losingandmasteringit-seemstohavebeenapartofhumanityforaslongashumanhaveexisted.Humanityalsohasbeenobsessedwithtryingtocapturethemeaningoftime.Einsteinusedadefinitionoftimeforexperimentalpurposes,asthat

306解析：空缺部分作后置定语，从音频可知是发现(discovered)，用其过去完成时态。40.scientific解析：该空后接名词，应为形容词，scientific。41.motion解析：原文描述，实验已证明运动加快会使宇航员的时间延长。这里的运动为motion。42.predicted解析：爱因斯坦在1905年时作出预测，用过去时predicted。43.introduced解析：这是爱因斯坦提出的一个相对时间的概念，用过去时introduced。44.thatmoveataspeedgreaterthanlight,andtherefore,mightserveasourpassportstothepast.解析：当下进行的研究旨在证实，是否有这样的物质，即能以超光速运行，并可以作为我们回归过去的“通行证”。填句只需意思相近就可以，关键抓住核心：超光速运行，可帮助人类回到过去。45.seemstohavebeenapartofhumanityforaslongashumanhaveexisted.解析：人类对时间的节约，获取，浪费以及流失等的着迷，自人类诞生以来就一直是其生活的一部分。核心：人类诞生以来就一直存在的，如影随形的。
30746.usedadefinitionoftimeforexperimentalpurposes,asthatwhichismeasuredbyaclock.解析：人类也对时间的含义非常着迷，爱因斯坦就曾提出一个试验性的定义，这个定义下的时间可以用钟表来测量。核心意思：试验性的定义，可以用钟表来测量。解题密钥：听类似文章时首先要注意把握逻辑结构，也即听第一遍听时把握大意，先不要急于填写所有空缺，重点是要缕清思路，听懂文章在说什么，记录关键信息词；有了对文章整体的把握后，第二遍听时就容易许多，这时就可以把空缺进量补齐，注意填句部分不一定非得按原文填写，只要意思相近就行；第三遍是最后一遍，此时要边听边检查已填写空缺，另外也可补填遗漏。听力音频结束后，可对所填词汇进行检查，此时主要根据语法知识保证词形，词性准确无误；另外也可重新组织语句，完善填句部分。PartIVReadingComprehension(Readingindepth)SectionA文章大意：47Ntend48Lnegative
30849Hefficiently50Bassociated51Aalert52Jfunction/53Fdefinitely54Oyounger55Econtinuing56Gdifferent文章大意：本文主要讲述的是关于老年人睡眠的问题：是否老年人与年轻人相比只需要较少的睡眠时间？47.tendto固定搭配；表示“倾向于；”符合句意；48.空格后是effect，前面是a(n)，由此可见，该处需要填入一个形容词；题目给出的形容词有negative,sufficient,younger；根据前后语意，填入negative最为恰当，表示“少的睡眠时间对大脑的活动有负面的影响。”49.根据推测，该处应该填入一个副词，题目给出的副词有efficiently,definitely,formally；前面提到，老年人在睡觉的时候更容易被打断，而后面用while提出一个对比的概念，年轻人相比起来能获得更_______的睡眠；综合起来，选用efficiently（最有效率的）最为准确。50.beassociatedwith固定搭配；表示“与…联系在一起”；本句话表示“更多的睡眠通常都与健康度联系在一起”；
30951.先看整句话的含义，“如果他们能睡更长的时间，他们的感觉应该会更好以及…”那么，该处应该填入一个褒义词，选择alert比较恰当，表示“更加警觉，机灵”；52.根据判断，此处应该填入一个动词，剩下的动词有cling,function；整句话的意思是“当我们上了年纪的时候，我们一觉睡到天亮的能力下降了，但是，我们需要…的睡眠量并没有改变；”空格后的单词是well，cling在这里并不合适，一般与to连用；选用function最为适合；53.作者在首段已经提出这个观点是一个myth，那么显而易见最后一段中出现的myth是作为一种强调手段，应填入definitely；54.空格的前面是whentheywere…，“当他们年轻的时候”；应填入younger；55.本句的意思是“我们的数据显示老年人将从…获益；”空格的后面是“得到和他们在三十多岁的时候能得到的睡眠一样多”；根据上下文意思，该处应填入“continuing”；56.differentfrom固定搭配；表示“和…不同”；总的说来，建议大家在做题之前对所给的所有词汇进行一下简单的词性分类，这样，更有助于考生快速有效地从最小的范围内选出答案。SectionBPassageOne57.Whatcanwelearnfromsomerecentstudies?
310答案：D.Interraciallodgingmayhavediverseoutcomes.关键词：recentstudies,butalso定位：题干中somerecentstudies提示答案定位在第一段第一句话。解析：问题提问从最近的研究中我们可以了解到什么？第一段第一句中Severalrecentstudiesfoundthat…与题干对应，由此可知that后的就是recentstudies的内容，即beingrandomlyassignedtoaroommateofanotherracecanleadtoincreasedtolerancebutalsotoagreaterlikelihoodofconflict。其中“beingrandomlyassignedtoaroommateofanotherrace”对应了选项D中的“interraciallodging”，“can…butalso…”说明了interraciallodging是有利有弊的。因此D选项符合文意。而C选项“弊大于利”不符合文意,A“不同种族学生之间的争执是不可避免的”选项与B“不同种族的学生相互存在偏见”原文中没有明确提及58.WhatdoesSamBoakye'sremarkmean?答案：D.Beingsurroundedbywhitepeersmotivatesablackstudenttoworkhardertosucceed.关键词：surrounded,somethingtoprove定位：题干中出现的人名SamBoakye提示答案定位在第四段第一句话。解析：问题提问Sam
311Boakye的话是什么意思？通过定位可以找到SamBoakye的那段话，即ifyou'resurroundedbywhites,youhavesomethingtoprove.这句话前面的插入语-theonlyblackstudentonhisfreshmanyearfloor-介绍了SamBoakye作为黑人学生的背景，帮助我们理解之前那句话：如果你的周围都是白人，那么一定会去证明些什么，言下之意就是选项D“白人同伴的存在会激励黑人学生更加努力地去取得成功”。而选项A,B,C在文中没有明确提及。本题选项C有个干扰信息“thefreshmanyear”，在原文中出现。某些考生看到这个词，不假思索就选择了这个选项，但没有搞懂原文的意思，导致错误选择。请考生留意。59.WhatdoestheIndianUniversitystudyshow?答案：A.Interracialroommatesaremorelikelytofallout.关键词：IndianUniversity,morelikely,定位：题干中出现的机构名称IndianUniversity提示答案定位在第七段第一句话。解析：问题提问IndianUniversity的研究显示了什么？通过定位可以发现研究结果显示Interracialroommatewerethreetimesaslikelyastwowhiteroommatestonolongerlivetogether，与选项A中的morelikelytofallout对应，因此选择D。此处，fallout应该理解为“散伙，分开”有些考生可能因为不理解意思而产生歧义，请考生留意。60.WhatdoesAlecWebleyconsidertobethe“definition
312ofintegration”?答案：D.Theschoolrandomlyassignsroommateswithoutregardtorace.关键词：AlecWebley,definitionofintegration定位：题干出现的人名AlecWebley提示答案定位在第十段第一句。解析：通过定位找到人名，人名后出现“Thisisthedefinitionofintegration”，由“this”可知人名前就是我们要找的答案，即theprocessthrowsyoutogetherrandomly，“throwyoutogetherrandomly”与“randomlyassign”对应。意思与选项D符合。因此，此处选择D。61.WhatdoesGraceKaosayaboutinterraciallodging?答案：A.Itisunscientifictomakegeneralizationsaboutitwithoutfurtherstudy.关键词：GraceKao,generalizations定位：题干中出现的人名GraceKao以及generalizations提示答案定位在文章最后一段。根据最后一段意思：要得出Interraciallodging的一般规律，需要对学生的背景特征有更多的研究，与选项D的意思相同。而选项ABC在文中没有明确提及。PassageTwo本篇文章主要是围绕一份来自GlobalHumanitarian
313Forum的报告展开的，在解题之前，通过对5个题干的浏览，以及在原文中的定位，可以发现，这篇文章是严格按照顺序原则来出题的。每一个题干中都有大写的字母，这些首字母大写的单词既是关键词，也是定位词，可以有效地帮助我们到原文中准确定位，节省答题时间。62.WhatisthefindingoftheGlobalHumanitarianForum?答案：B.Ratesofdeathfromillnesseshaverisenduetoglobalwarming.关键词：GlobalHumanitarianForum定位：第一段、第二段解析：一般而言，四级的阅读题目大致遵循顺序原则，此篇文章正好是遵循此规律的。在文章的第一段，第一行，我们看到“…300,000deathsandabout$125billion…”,根据这里，我们可以把答案锁定在选项A（economic）和选项B(Ratesofdeath)，然后我们接着往下看，可以发现，第二段就没有再提到金钱方面了，而都是在讲死亡和疾病的话题，如第二段的第三行“…deathratesfromillnesses…”。所以，最后正确的选项是B。63.WhatdowelearnabouttheForum'sreportfromthepassage?答案：A.Itwaschallengedbysomeclimateandriskexperts.关键词：learn、Forum'sreport定位：第三段
314解析：根据顺序原则，我们在接下来的第三段里就找到了63题的答案。第三段的第一行就讲到“thereportdrewcriticismfromsomeexpertsonclimateandrisk”，这和A选项是完全相一致的，challenged是criticism的同义替换。B选项中的“interest”表示“兴趣”，主要用于好的事物，这里讲的都是对theForum'srepor的批评，显然就不合适了。C选项表达的意思跟原文正好相反，这个是肯定要排除的。然后，有的同学可能会选到D选项，可能是受到文中第四段“…primarilyinpoorcountries,werebeingseriouslyeffected…”这句话的影响。但是D选项中“abigstir”“一阵巨大的骚乱”文中是完全没有提到的。64.WhatdoesDr.PielkesayabouttheForum'sreport?答案：B.Itisinvalidintermsofmethodology.关键词：Dr.Pielke、say定位：第五段解析：在第五段，我们可以很快找到Pielke，然后找到他说的话，第二行“theForum'sreportwas‘amethodologicalembarrassment'”,然后在第六行“butthereport,hesaid‘willharmthe…itissodeeplyflawed'”。根据这两句话，选项中invalid是flawed的同义替换，我们可以很容易地选到B。65.WhatisSorenAndreasen'sviewofthereport?答案：D.Itsroughestimatesaremeanttodrawtheattentionofworldleaders.关键词：SorenAndreasen
315定位：第六段解析：在第六段的第二行和第三行，可以看到“thenumberwereroughestimates.Hesaidthereportwasaimedatworldleaders…”,根据这两句话，我们就能较轻松地将正确答案锁定在D选项。66.WhatdoesKofiAnnansayshouldbethefocusoftheCopenhagenconference?答案：D.Howrichcountriescanbetterhelppoorregionsreduceclimatehazards.关键词：KofiAnnan、focusoftheCopenhagenconference定位：第七段（即文中的最后一段）解析：最后一段是KofiAnnan说的一段话。我们在最后一段的第二行，focuson后面“…fromrichtopoorregionstohelpreduce…”后面的内容就无需再花时间去看了，因为他focus（关注）的地方，在此就已经陈述清楚了，正确答案就是D。PartVCloze文章大意：67.to68.specific69.key70.different71.prevent
31672.in73.focus74.over75.rather76.consumed77.vital78.amazed79.contain80.interact81.on82.up83.fill84.avoid85.doubt86.impact这是一篇关于科学饮食的科技新闻。为了让学生快速进入语境，文章第一段没有挖空。从第一段中，我们可以获得全文主旨：科学饮食的真谛是从大处着眼，67.第二段首句有个定语从句：科学饮食远不止分析每一口放到嘴里的饭。这里要选择一个介词，lift的原意是高举，在这里的意思就是“放到嘴边”，to表示方向。between
317表示在某某之间，不合题意。inside表示静态，与lift这个动作相矛盾。同理，B选项through，表示穿过，lift这个动作，到嘴边就结束了，并没有穿过嘴巴。68.按照原文的逻辑，接下来的一句话，表达过去人们如何如何，是为了给出“靶子”加以批评，所以，我们需要继续往后读，读到作者提倡的做法，然后反向理解一下，便可选出答案。69.根据语法搭配，只有key才可以和后面的to相搭配，所以选择A选项。70.句首的but，是题眼，表达对比之意，所以，下文开始讲述“另一种”“不同的”饮食习惯。因此，选择B选项，different。71.这里是个不定式短语，需要一个动词，由宾语heartdisease可知，“prevent”（预防）是最佳搭配。72.考察和general搭配的介词，只有in符合语法。73.需要一个动词和on搭配，语法上四个选项都可以搭配，只能从词义上判断，turnon表示打开，focuson表示注重，puton表示穿衣，carryon表示执行。根据宾语，“更广的层面”，可知应该选择focuson。74.需要一个和“时间段”搭配的介词，overaperiodoftime表示一段时间以来，符合题意。75.这里表示“是什么而不是什么”，应该用ratherthan才能准确达意。76.这是个分词短语作后置定语修饰前面的“thisor
318that”，这里的thisorthat代指食物。convey是表达，不搭配。enter可以表示“输入，记下”，也不和食物搭配。和食物搭配的只有B和D，consume表示，消费或消耗。exhaust表示耗尽。很明显，这里的食物并不会耗尽，所以只能选B选项。这里我们可以回过头来，看一下第68题，文章的主旨是，“Scientistnowfocusonthebroaderpictureofthebalanceoffoodeatenoverseveraldaysoraweek”即“科学家现在注重最近几天内的均衡饮食”，与此能够形成对比的，“单个营养元素的定量摄入”，这里能表达特定量的词只有“certain”或者“specific”，这里用certain更自然，但是没有提供选项，因此就只能选择specific，表示“特定的”。77.需要个形容词，做后置定语，和forgoodhealth搭配，这里只有vital能和for搭配，表示“对…重要”。78.这里是一个Themore…themore的固定表达，表示“越……越……”，这里用amazed表达科研人员，对新发现所产生的“惊奇之感”。79.这里的they表示食物，结合后面的动词，构成定语从句，修饰“必备营养元素”，这里的用contain才能准确达意，“食物包含必备营养元素”80.需要一个动词和with搭配，只能选择A和B，但从语义上判断，必备营养元素之间会相互反应，肯定不会相互干扰。因此只能选择interact。
31981.这里需要一个介词和track搭配，只有ontherighttrack才符合语法82.这里根据题意，“蔬菜、水果和谷物构成了饭菜的四分之三”，这里makeup表达“构成”之意。83.这里需要一个动词，宾语是“剩余的四分之一”，从语义上理解，我们需要选择“填充”，因此，fillin是符合语法的。84.这里需要一个动词，结合题意，这个空应该表达“不吃”，才能和前面的eat形成对比，这里的avoid，表达避免的意思，比delete（删除）更切题。85.文章在最后一句，要下一个结论，这里用withoutadoubt表达“毫无疑问”，符合题目要求。86.这里需要一个名词，和on搭配，只有impact符合题意。总之，今年四级的完型填空，涉及3处名词，5处介词，7处动词，4处形容词和1处副词。只有1题（第68题）需要整体把握，其余部分只要在句子内部或者句子之间进行上下文逻辑比对或语法搭配，即可完成。PartVITranslation87.Theuniversityauthoritiesdidnotapprovetheregulation,nordidtheymakeanyexplanation/nordidtheygivethereasonfordoingso(也没有解释为什么).解析：本题考察了两个知识点。①

323坚强意志”的重要性；第二段从反面举例阐述——具体描写了意志不坚定者的心理活动，阐述为什么会戒烟失败；最后从戒烟延伸到生活中的其他事情，并复述坚强意志的内涵，点题收尾。总体上来看，文章思路清晰，采用了生动的比喻和形象的心理描写，语言流畅，用语地道。但一些重复表达（如第二段和第三段中的weakwill）显得单调，可用shakyones,weak-willedpersons，thestrong-willed等灵活表达。在备考中，多积累不同表达，相信会写出更生动的文章。在论述上，叙述略显罗嗦。第二段心理描写过多，虽然流畅生动，但却使这篇考场作文超过了规定字数，反而成为失分点，这一点要引以为戒。【高分版】NothingSucceedsWithoutaStrongWillAswehavereadfromabove,quitting-smokingseemseasy,butinrealityitisrarelyachieved.Thereissomethingprovokingandinterestinginthisparadox,justbecausesworddoesnotwearthestoneasdrippingwaterdoes.Theabilitytodosomethingoverandoveragaininashorttimemayimplyitseasiness,butinalongrun,alifetimemaybe,thingsturnouttobequitetheopposite.Also,asisoftenthe

325第二段作者则进一步深入分析该话语，指出做某事在短期看来很容易，长期来看，恰恰相反，人们做事的结果也因此总是失败，原因则在最后一句点出：缺乏毅力。第三段作者进一步给出了自己的观点，告诉大家如何避免陷入这种两难境地：首要条件即需要坚强的意志和长期的坚持。最后再以艾默生的一句名言“没人能够骗你远离你最终的成功，除非你自己承认失败”来总结全文，切中主题，铿锵有力。PartIIReadingComprehension(SkimmingandScanning)1.Apersonofintegritynotonlysetshighmoralandethicalstandardsbutalso_______.A)stickstothemintheirdailylifeB)makesthemknowntoothersC)understandstheirtruevaluesD)seesthatothersalsofollowthem【答案】A)stickstothemintheirdailylife【解析】第一题的答案就在全文第一句。关键词是notonly….Butalso….，关键句是Thekeytointegrityisconsistency--notonlysettinghighpersonalstandardsforoneself(honesty,

333Q:Whatdowelearnaboutthewomanfromtheconversation?【答案】B)Sheisworriedaboutmissingherflight.【解析】这是道场景题，略有难度。刚开始，我们还无法很快判断出该对话发生的场景，很多同学一听到airport可能会误以为对话发生在机场，但如果我们继续听下去，就会发现，该对话应该发生在出租车上，因为女士说了句“请选择最快的路”，而男士说“因为有球赛，所以到处都交通拥堵”可以帮助我们再次确认对话发生的场景。选项A不对，原文是说要挑thefastestway哪怕不是themostdirectway；选项C也不准确，才刚上车，并没有拥堵，司机只是提前说明因为球赛会碰到拥堵；选项D错误，女士是为了赶去乘飞机的，而不是去看球赛。14.W:MayImakearecommendation,sir?Ourseafoodwiththisspecialsauceisverygood.M:Thankyou,butIdon’teatshellfish.I’mallergictoit.Q:Wheredoesthisconversationmostprobablytakeplace?【答案】A)Atarestaurant
334【解析】这是道场景题，较为简单。从对话中可知，女士希望向男士推荐一道菜，从首句中即可推断出该对话最有可能发生在餐馆中，男士说，他过敏，不吃贝壳类海鲜，可以帮助我们再次确认对话发生的场景。15.W:Nowonemorequestionifyoudon’tmind,whatpositioninthecompanyappealstoyoumost?M:Well,I’dlikethepositionofsalesmanagerifthatpositionisstillvacant.Q:Whatdowelearnabouttheman?【答案】A)Heisbeinginterviewedforajob.【解析】这是较为简单的细节推理题。从position,company这几个关键词中，我们就可以快速判断出此题的场景为面试，因此男士应该正在接受一场面试。C选项错误，他想要销售经理的职位，但并不表示他本身就是销售经理。16.M:Idon’tthinkIwanttoliveinthedormitorynextyear.

336【答案】D)Thewomanisgoingtomakehertopicmorefocused.【解析】这是推理判断题。从对话中可知，男士希望女士缩小主题的范围，女士回答“你是对的。”说明女士会采纳男士的建议，缩小主题。18.W:Thispicnicshouldbeatthelastonewewentto,doesn’tit?M:Oh,yeah,wehadtospendthewholetimeinside.Goodthing,theweatherwascooperativethistime.Q:Whatdowelearnaboutthespeakersfromtheconversation?【答案】B)Theydidn’tquiteenjoytheirlastpicnic.【解析】这是推理判断题。beat一词是个难点，beat本意有“打败”的意思，这次的野餐打败了上次，即这次比上次好，下文中，男士说“上次我们不得不呆在室内，但这次天气不错。”可以再次确认他们不喜欢上次的野餐，因此，正确答案为B。ConversationOne【听力原文】

339）和与瑞典相关的一系列名词不熟悉而纠结，因此忽略了真正需要听清的其实并不太难的关键信息。这就提醒大家在做题时，切勿因为个别词语不熟悉，而慌张。19.A）HelikesSwedenbetterthanEngland.B）Heprefershotweathertocoldweather.C）HeisanEnglishlivinginSweden.D）HevisitsLondonnearlyeverywinter.19.Whatdowelearnaboutthemanfromtheconversation?【答案】B）Heprefershotweathertocoldweather.【解析】本题为推断题。根据文章大意可推断得出。整篇文章中，分别有两处暗示信息，一处是男士说，“SwedishpeoplealwayscomplainthatwhentheyvisitEngland,thehousesarecoldeveninthegoodwinter.”，瑞典人在冬天去拜访英格兰时，会抱怨英格兰室温太冷。另一处是男士在谈到冬天天气时，说道：“Itissometimesabitdepressing.”长时间寒冷的天气令人沮丧。因此可推断得出，男士更喜欢hotweather，热天气。所以，答案为：Heprefershotweathertocoldweather.20.
340A）ThebadweatherB）Thecoldhouses.C）Thegloomywinter.D）Thelongnight.20.WhatdoSwedishpeoplecomplainaboutwhentheyvisitEnglandinwinter?【答案】B）Thecoldhouses.【解析】对话中，当男士介绍瑞典的极寒天气时，谈到只要穿暖，出门很暖，而室内更暖和，为了强调这一观点，男士继续说道：“SwedishpeoplealwayscomplainthatwhentheyvisitEngland,thehousesarecoldeveninthegoodwinter.”说是瑞典人在冬天去拜访英格兰时，会抱怨英格兰室温太冷。所以，答案为：Thecoldhouses.21.A）Delightful.B）Painful.
341C）Depressing.D）Refreshing.21.HowdoesthemandescribetheshorthourofdaylightaroundChristmasinSweden?【答案】C）Depressing.【解析】女士问：“Andwhataboutthedarkness?”男士答道：“aroundChristmastimethere’sonlyonehourofdaylight,soyoureallylooksforwardtothespring.”临近圣诞节的时候，每天仅有一小时为白天，所以人们都非常向往春天，希望春天快点到来。然后，进一步强调性地评论道：“Itissometimesabitdepressing.”有时候真有点令人沮丧。因此，本题答案为：Depressing.22.A）Theyoftenstayuplatereading.B)Theyworkhardandplayhard.C)Theyliketogocampinginsummer.D)Theytrytoearnmoreandspendmore.
34222.WhatdoesthemansayabouttheSwedishpeople?【答案】B）Theyworkhardandplayhard.【解析】男士在谈到瑞典的极昼天气时，着重谈了瑞典人在极昼天气的工作情况，并进一步对瑞典人的工作习惯进行了评价。男士说道：“They’dliketoworkhard,butplayhard,too.”瑞典人既能在工作时努力工作，又能在能玩时拼命玩。所以，本题答案为：Theyworkhardandplayhard.ConversationTwo【听力原文】Questions23to25arebasedontheconversationyouhavejustheard.W:Whatkindoftrainingdoesoneneedtogointothistypeofjob?M:That’saverygoodquestion.Idon’tthinkthereisany,specifically.W:Forexample,inyourcase,whatwasyoureducationalbackground?

345【解析】细节题。在第二轮对话中，女士问，“whatwasyoureducationalbackground?”你是什么教育背景，男士回答说：“IdidadegreeinFrenchatNottingham.”我在诺丁汉大学攻读了法语学位，所以男士的专业是French。24.A）Englishteaching.B）Stafftraining.C）Careersguidance.D）Psychologicalcounseling24.Whatwastheman’sjobinsecondaryschools?【答案】C）careersguidance.【解析】细节题。在说完“IdidadegreeinFrenchatNottingham.”之后，男士又接着说“Afterthat,Ididcareersguidanceinsecondaryschools.”因此，此题的答案应为：careersguidance。25.A）Itspleasantenvironment.B）Itsworldwidefame.C）Itsgenerousscholarship.D）Itswell-designedcourses.25.WhatattractedthemantoNottinghamUniversity?【答案】B）Itspleasantenvironment.【解析】细节题。女士问：“IsthereanyreasonwhyyouwenttoNottinghamUniversity?”
346你去诺丁汉大学是出于什么原因？男士在回答中说到，诺丁汉是我心中理想大学之一。紧接着他就说道：“AndIlikethelookofit.”还进一步补充说明道：“Thecampusisjustbeautiful.”因此，男士是因被其优雅环境所吸引而选择去诺丁汉大学。所以，本题的答案为：Itspleasantenvironment.SectionBPassageOneWhileGailObcamp,anAmericanartistwasgivingaspeechontheartofJapanesebrushpaintingtoanaudiencethatincludedvisitorsfromJapan,shewasconfusedtoseethatmanyofherJapaneselistenershavetheireyesclosed.WeretheytunedoffbecauseanAmericanhadthenervetoinstructJapaneseintheirownartform?Weretheydeliberatelytriedtosignaltheirrejectionofher?Obcamplaterfoundoutthatherlistenerswerenotbeingdisrespectful.Japaneselistenerssometimesclosetheireyestoenhanceconcentration.Herlistenerswereshowingtheirrespectforherbychewingonherwords.SomedayyoumaybeeitheraspeakeroralistenerinasituationinvolvingpeoplefromothercountriesormembersofaminoritygroupinNorthAmerica.Learninghowdifferentculturessignalrespectcanhelpyouavoidmisunderstandings.Herearesomeexamples.InthedeafcultureofNorthAmerica,Manylistenersshowapplausenotbyclappingtheirhandsbutbywavingtheminthe

369D)【答案】SectionA47growth48stable49challenges50certainly51role52combined53significant54included55comprise56solutions【解析】这是一篇讨论能源资源的说明文，话题是考生比较熟悉的能源问题，不断增长的人口与可再生资源的矛盾该如何解决。文中指出能源的一些可替代形式如生物能源、风能太阳能等可再生资源将在未来发挥越来越重要的作用。但是专家指出，即使这些资源储备量惊人，但是到2050年也只能满足世界30%的需求。文章最后两段探讨了各能源在市场上的需求，以及解决未来能源需求的其他方案。总体来说，这篇文章理解难度不大，填空难度适中，所选词汇也都是四级考纲的词汇。选项较具有干扰项，多为c和s
370开头的单词，考生在考试时要特别注意。SectionBPassageOne57,Cencourageboystoexpresstheiremotionsfreely58,Aperformrelativelybetter59,CItfailstogiveboystheattentiontheyneed60,Ateachingcanbetailoredtosuitthecharacteristicsofboys61,CTheyhavesharpervision【解析】这篇文章针对传统的男女生一起上学，一起接受教育提出了质疑。作者从文章一开头就表明了自己的看法：对于男生而言，单性教育，即男生们一起上学会对男生的身心发展更为有利。文中出现一个短语，receivedwisdom，即是“人们普遍的看法，公认的看法”。也是作者所批判的一种观点。传统观点认为，男生和女生混合教育会对男生发展更有利。但是作者认为单性教育对男生有以下几个好处：可以让男生们更自由地表达自己的情感，可以学习自己感兴趣的艺术，舞蹈，音乐等学科。不用去遵守人们在传统印象中对男生的期盼。而且单性教育可以针对男生的身心发展特点而制定学习计划。并且作者觉得，目前英国教育把女生当做关注重点，忽视了对男生的重视。PassageTwo

375submit意为“提交，服从”，generate生成，reveal透露，揭露，显示。这里根据段意，reveal最合适。68.【答案】staff【解析】根据句意，基本有一半的组织机构告诉调查者他们在努力寻找具有四个方面（科学、技术、工程和数学）才能的职员。这里partners，audience,officials显然不符合题意。69.【答案】while【解析】这里和前面已经叙述的事实构成并列，“同时，更多公司预测，接下来的三年他们都将会遭遇雇员四缺现象（科学、技术、工程和数学知识技能欠缺）”，因此排除其他三项。选while。70.【答案】shortages【解析】由第二段句首struggling可判断，机构组织寻找这些人才非常不易，那么这种人才显然是不够的，短缺的。absence是表示“缺席，不在”，不能描述短缺，因此排除。此题的另一个关键是确定experience的词性，动词。71.【答案】surveyed【解析】第三段用一句话简介经过工业联盟调查了69个行业和组织，首先排除D和C，search
376是指搜查；细查某处以搜寻某人或某物，搜索；而survey是指调查某部分人的行为、意见等（通常以询问方式进行），符合题意。72.【答案】private【解析】根据上一题的意思，调查在公共和私人部门中展开，后面一句的together暗示and后面的这个空是和“公共的”对立的，因此填private。73.【答案】concerned【解析】第四段描写了这个调查的具体情况。有一半人…，这里缺少动词，confront一般和with连用，conform符合，遵照，confuse使混乱，使困惑，这里根据上下文的意思，雇主们都担心这种现象的发生，因此选concerned,beconcerned担心的，烦恼的，忧虑的。74.【答案】recruit【解析】本题考查词义辨析，三分之一的被调查者坦言他们可能顾不到符合相应资质的雇员，只有recruit符合题意。75.【答案】As【解析】根据句子结构判断，前半句是一个伴随状语，“随着…的深入进行，…需求越来越强”，而不是条件状语或让步状语。76.
