四级英语考试阅读题：

Questions 56 to 60 are based on thefollowing passage.

Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in the US found higher levels of protein S1PR2(磷酸鞘氨醇受体蛋白)in tests on the brains of female mice and dead women with MS than in male equivalents.Four times more women than men are currently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis(多发性硬化症).

Experts said the finding was”really interesting”.MS affects the nerves in the brain and spinal cord，which causes problems with muscle movement，balance and vision.It is a major cause of disability,and affects about 1 00，000 people in the UK.Abnormal immune cells aRack nerve cells in the central Nervous system in MS patients.There is currently no cure，A.though there are treatments that can help in the early stages of the disease.

Researchers in Missouri looked at relapsing remitting(复发缓解型)MS，where people have distinct attacks of symptoms that tllen fade away either partially or completely.About 85%of all people with MS have this type.Scientists studied the blood vessels and brains of healthy mice，mice with MS，and mice without the gene for SlPR2，a blood vessel receptor protein，to see how it affected MS severity.They A.so 100ked at the brain tissue samples of 20 people after they had died.They found high levels of S1PR2 in the areas of the brain typically damaged by MS in both mice and people.Tlle activity of the gene coding for S1 PR2 was positively correlated with the severity of the disease in mice.the study said.

Scientists said S l PR2 could work by helping to make the blood-brain barrier,in charge of stopping potentiA.ly harmful substances from entering the brain and spial fluid.more permeable.A more permeable barrier could let attacking cells，which cause MS，into the central nervous system，the study said.This link[between MS and S lPR2] is completely new一it has never been found before.

Dr Emma Gray,of the MS Society,said：”We don’t yet fully understand why MS affects more women than men,and it’s an area that’s intrigued scientists，and people with MS，for many years.She said understanding the causes of MS was a“priority”for the MS Society in the UK.and could be“crucial”in finding new treatments.

Questions 61 to 65 are based on thefollowingpassage.

Real.time web search—-which scours only the latest updates to services like Twitter—is currently generating quite a buzz because it can provide a glimpse of what people around the world are thinking or doing at any given moment.Interest in this kind of search is so great that，according to recent leaks，Google is considering buying Twitter.

The latest research from the interact search giant，though，suggests that real—time results could be even more powerful—they may reveal the future as well as the present.

Google researchers Hyunyoung Choi and Hal Varian combined data from Google Trends on the popularity of different search terms with models used by economists to predict trends in areas such as travel and home sales.The result?Better forecasts in A.most every case.It works because searches reveal something about people’s intentions.Google has demonstrated before that search data can predict flu outbreaks，and last week World Bank economist Erik Feyen said he could cut errors in a model that forecasts lending to the private sector by 15%using Google search data.

But real-time results could have even more predictive power：knowing what people are actually doing，not just thinking，at a particular instant gives a strong hint of the future consequences.

Johan Bollen of Los A.amos NationA. Laboratory and A.berto Pepe of the University of California，Los Angeles，applied a mood rating system to the text from over 10，000 Future Me emails sent in to gauge people’s hopes，fears and predictions for the future.They found that emails directed at to were significantly more depressed in tone than messages aimed at the subsequent six years.Could they have predicted the world’s current economic slump?

Without more data，that is no more than an intriguing possibility.So Bollen plans to look at more Future Me emails，as well as Twitter messages，to search for mood swings that foreshadow other economic changes.If he finds any such links.the sanle sources might be used to try and predict future economic fluctuations.

So will our online footsteps become a central part of economic forecasting?We’11 have to wait and see——0r perhaps do a quick web search.

61.What is real-time web search.like Twitter?

A.It tells us what people did in past days.

B.It generates quite a buzz in recent days.

C.It provides latest news about everything.

D.It informs what people do in the future.

62.What is the result of research established by Google researchers Hyunyoung Choi and Hal Varian?

A.They gain nothing special from the combination of data and models.

B. 11ley indeed reveal something about people’s intentions in such areas.

C. They find that the future trends cannot be predicted from the research.

D.They totally understand the future trends of these areas from research.

63.What can we infer from Para.5?

A. It is possible for researchers to get some hints from the Future Me emails.

B. There is no relationship between the depression and economic slump.

C.There is a potential relationship between depression and economic slump.

D.The Future Me emails may indicate people’s reaction about future prediction.

64.What’s the meaning of“Without more data,that is no more than an intriguing possibility.”?

A. More data are necessary to turn this possibility to be reality.

B.The possibility is just all intriguing possibility without data.

C. No amount of data cannot be a strong proof for the possibility.

D.More data are needed to turn it out to be a pure possibility.

65.What’s the attitude of author to real.time search?

篇2：四级答案

公共英语四级阅读练习题【一】

Few creations of big technology capture the imagination like giant dams. Perhaps it is humankind’s long suffering at the mercy of flood and drought that makes the idea of forcing the waters to do our bidding so fascinating. But to be fascinated is also, sometimes, to be blind. Several giant dam projects threaten to do more harm than good.

The lesson from dams is that big is not always beautiful. It doesn’t help that building a big, powerful dam has become a symbol of achievement for nations and people striving to assert themselves. Egypt’s leadership in the Arab world was cemented by the Aswan High Dam. Turkey’s bid for First World status includes the giant Ataturk Dam.

But big dams tend not to work as intended. The Aswan Dam, for example, stopped the Nile flooding but deprived Egypt of the fertile silt that floods left — all in return for a giant reservoir of disease which is now so full of silt that it barely generates electricity.

And yet, the myth of controlling the waters persists. This week, in the heart of civilized Europe, Slovaks and Hungarians stopped just short of sending in the troops in their contention over a dam on the Danube. The huge complex will probably have all the usual problems of big dams. But Slovakia is bidding for independence from the Czechs, and now needs a dam to prove itself.

Meanwhile, in India, the World Bank has given the go-ahead to the even more wrong-headed Narmada Dam. And the bank has done this even though its advisors say the dam will cause hardship for the powerless and environmental destruction. The benefits are for the powerful, but they are far from guaranteed.

Proper, scientific study of the impacts of dams and of the costs and benefits of controlling water can help to resolve these conflicts. Hydroelectric power and flood control and irrigation are possible without building monster dams. But when you are dealing with myths, it is hard to be either proper, or scientific. It is time that the world learned the lessons of Aswan. You don’t need a dam to be saved.

1. The third sentence of paragraph 1 implies that ____.

A. people would be happy if they shut their eyes to reality

B. the blind could be happier than the sighted

C. over-excited people tend to neglect vital things

D. fascination makes people lose their eyesight

2. In paragraph 5, “the powerless” probably refers to ____.

A. areas short of electricity B. dams without power stations

C. poor countries around India D. common people in the Narmada Dam area

3. What is the myth concerning giant dams?

A. They bring in more fertile soil. B. They help defend the country.

C. They strengthen international ties. D. They have universal control of the waters.

4. What the author tries to suggest may best be interpreted as ____.

A. “It’s no use crying over spilt milk” B. “More haste, less speed”

C. “Look before you leap” D. “He who laughs last laughs best”

公共英语四级阅读练习题【二】

If ambition is to be well regarded, the rewards of ambition — wealth, distinction, control over one’s destiny — must be deemed worthy of the sacrifices made on ambition’s behalf. If the tradition of ambition is to have vitality, it must be widely shared; and it especially must be highly regarded by people who are themselves admired, the educated not least among them. In an odd way, however, it is the educated who have claimed to have given up on ambition as an ideal. What is odd is that they have perhaps most benefited from ambition — if not always their own then that of their parents and grandparents. There is a heavy note of hypocrisy in this, a case of closing the barn door after the horses have escaped — with the educated themselves riding on them.

Certainly people do not seem less interested in success and its signs now than formerly. Summer homes, European travel, BMWs — the locations, place names and name brands may change, but such items do not seem less in demand today than a decade or two years ago. What has happened is that people cannot confess fully to their dreams, as easily and openly as once they could, lest they be thought pushing, acquisitive and vulgar. Instead, we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles, which now more than ever seem in ample supply: the critic of American materialism with a Southampton summer home; the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in three-star restaurants; the journalist advocating participatory democracy in all phases of life, whose own children are enrolled in private schools. For such people and many more perhaps not so exceptional, the proper formulation is, “Succeed at all costs but avoid appearing ambitious.”

The attacks on ambition are many and come from various angles; its public defenders are few and unimpressive, where they are not extremely unattractive. As a result, the support for ambition as a healthy impulse, a quality to be admired and fixed in the mind of the young, is probably lower than it has ever been in the United States. This does not mean that ambition is at an end, that people no longer feel its stirrings and promptings, but only that, no longer openly honored, it is less openly professed. Consequences follow from this, of course, some of which are that ambition is driven underground, or made sly. Such, then, is the way things stand: on the left angry critics, on the right stupid supporters, and in the middle, as usual, the majority of earnest people trying to get on in life.

1. It is generally believed that ambition may be well regarded if ____.

A. its returns well compensate for the sacrifices

B. it is rewarded with money, fame and power

C. its goals are spiritual rather than material

D. it is shared by the rich and the famous

2. The last sentence of the first paragraph most probably implies that it is ____.

A. customary of the educated to discard ambition in words

B. too late to check ambition once it has been let out

C. dishonest to deny ambition after the fulfillment of the goal

D. impractical for the educated to enjoy benefits from ambition

3. Some people do not openly admit they have ambition because ____.

A. they think of it as immoral

B. their pursuits are not fame or wealth

C. ambition is not closely related to material benefits

D. they do not want to appear greedy and contemptible

4. From the last paragraph the conclusion can be drawn that ambition should be maintained ____.

A. secretly and vigorously B. openly and enthusiastically

C. easily and momentarily D. verbally and spiritually

People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1993, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.

Erosion (侵蚀) of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.

Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.

1. What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?

A) The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens.

B) The experts’ lack of knowledge.

C) The rising of the sea level.

D) The washing-away of limestone cliffs.

2. The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England ________.

A) will soon become a problem for people living in central England

B) has now become a threat to the local residents

C) is quickly changing the map of England

D) can be stopped if proper measures are taken

3. The experts’study on the problem of erosion can ________.

A) lead to its eventual solution

B) provide an effective way to slow it down

C) help to prevent it from worsening

D) warn people whose homes are in danger

4. It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because ________.

A) it is too costly and will endanger neighbouring areas

B) the government is too slow in taking action

C) they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents

D) house agents along the coast do not support the idea

5. According to the author, when buying a house along the south coast of England, people should ________.

A) be aware of the potential danger involved

B) guard against being cheated by the house agent

C) take the quality of the house into consideration

D) examine the house carefully before making a decision

篇3：四级辅导感想

关键词：单词,听力,作文,快速阅读

对于当前的大学生而言, 英语已非专业技能, 而是必备的素质与能力。对于大学二年级的学生来说, 主要任务就是四级考试。而学生在备考四级的过程中, 会面临这样那样的问题, 基于这些问题, 我谈一谈对四级辅导过程中的一些感想:

首先, 单词是学好英语的基础。对四级考试来说, 也不例外。单词量直接影响着阅读能力, 写作能力, 听力。所谓磨刀不误砍柴工。鉴于此, 我决定每节课都进行课本中四级词汇听写, 听写范围不单限于本学期所学课本, 把去年学过的课本上的四级词汇也重新听写一遍, 以旧带新。虽然学生和老师的工作量大大增加, 但比较有效果, 而且大部分学生表示愿意继续。

除了背已学过的课本上的四级词汇, 背历年真题中出现的四级单词也是迅速, 有效掌握四级词汇的好办法之一。

其次, 听力是四级考试中的重点与难点。在改革后的四级考试中, 听力部分的比例由过去的20%跃升为现在的35%, 题目的类型、数量、时间全部增加。在听力过程中, 很多学生反映许多单词听清了, 却反应不上他们的意思;或是似乎每个单词都听懂了, 但整句话或文章的意思却似懂非懂。而且近几年的听力考试, 答案往往需要经过推敲和揣摩后才能得到, 这更加剧了这种“听得清, 做不对”的现象。为什么在听力过程中会出现这种状况呢?根源在于听得太少, 并且没有掌握正确的听力方法和应试技巧。

以短对话为例。短对话一直以来都是四级考试中比较有规律的也是短期之内能够有较大提高的一类题型。究其原因主要是对话本身兼顾了文化背景常识与语言考察点两个部分, 所以考试时一般不会出现听到什么就选什么的情况。因此, 四级考试的短对话部分产生了一些固有的套路和思维模式。反推法:首先看选项, 大致推测本题的考点, 做到心中有数。在听力过程中, 还应该着重把握听力关键词, 比如but, although等。所以, 每周的语音室教学, 我都会对学生进行四级的短对话专项听力练习。要分类练习, 如, 语音语调练习, 虚拟语气, 因果关系, 否定关系, 时间与数字练习, 比较关系练习等等。每类练习都会给学生讲解解题技巧, 以历年真题为例, 告诉他们此类题出题的倾向, 和容易出错的地方, 并辅以练习。

篇章题则以议论文、说明文和记叙文三大体裁为主。在听力过程中, 主要把握文章的主旨。就考点本身而言, 议论文的考点集中在论点、论据, 作者的态度等方面;而说明文主要关注说明的对象及其各方面的特点等;记叙文则以短小故事类为主, 主要考察故事六要素。

听力中的听写部分也是难点, 每节课的单词听写已经为这部分打下了基础。听力中的听写部分放三遍, 我要求学生在听这部分之前, 先把整篇听写材料快速阅读一遍, 判断所要听写单词的词性, 这样在整个听写过程中, 对单词就会做到心中有数。

无论是短对话, 篇章, 还是复合式听写, 听力考试万变不离其宗, 就是考学生对文章主要信息的掌握程度。学生单靠课堂上的听力时间是远远不够的。主要还得靠课下反复的练习。

再次, 作文部分, 我要求学生每两周写一篇作文, 并且我会按照四级判卷的要求给学生打分, 从结构, 语法, 语言等方面进行评判。并且找出具有典型错误的作文, 利用课上时间跟学生一起, 对作文进行纠错。

对于四级作文要求的字数, 对学生来说一直是个难点。如果写的过多, 不但不加分, 学生在写的过程中浪费了多余的时间, 更为关键的是, 写得越多, 越容易暴露自己语言上的弱点。怎样才能让学生的作文达到字数而又不至于写得太多呢?所以我要求学生作文分三段式。而且一定要做到层次分明。比如说, firstly, secondly, the last but not the least等等这些表示层次的词一定得有。并且要求学生每一段中写上四句, 即主题句加两三句扩展句和一个结论句就可以了。这样全片在十二句左右, 每一句十多个词, 就120-150个字了。

网络中也有一些满分作文, 或是作文模板。有些学生花大量的时间去背这些作文, 可自己作文的水平却涨幅不大。我的建议是只要把这些好作文的写作思路掌握, 并且把作文中一些优美的语句, 表示层次的词掌握。也就是说要知道这些作文好在哪里, 并且在自己的写作过程中尝试着去用。

最后, 快速阅读是考查学生在最短的时间内获取有效信息的能力。做题技巧也是首先看题目, 根据题目设想一下文章可能涉及的主题, 然后花一两分钟的时间快速浏览文章每段的首句, 了解主题所涉及的方面。之后就是看题干, 按照出题顺序在文章中快速找到答案。有些词汇可以帮助我们快速找到答案所在位置。比如题干中所涉及的人物姓氏会以首字母大写的形式出现, 还有时间, 数字, 比较长的单词等。这些词汇都是在阅读文章查询信息过程中重要的提示。

例如:试题中:“National standards for paved roads were in place by 1921.”

这一题的“1921”是比较明显的查询定位点, 提示我们在阅读文章时要特别留意。

对于其他题型, 比如十五选十, 完形填空, 翻译等题型, 则是利用小教室时间, 一边讲解解题技巧, 一边讲解真题, 把技巧应用在解题过程中。

由于经验和时间有限, 对四级的辅导还不能做到面面俱到, 以上就是我对大学二年级学生四级进行的一些辅导工作的体会和感想。

篇4：四级答案

四级考试改革简介

就阅读部分来说，此次四级考试改革变化最大的是快速阅读部分，而深度阅读和选词填空部分没有变化。那么，快速阅读是怎么变化的呢？原先的快速阅读在改革后称为“长篇阅读”，但文章的篇幅长度、语言难度和题目的分值比例都保持不变。真正变化的是文后的题目：改革后长篇阅读的文章后附有十个句子，每个句子的内容对应文章的某个段落，做题时，考生需要将每个句子和相应的段落进行匹配。当然，每个段落不一定只对应一个句子，可能个别段落会对应两个或三个句子，而有的段落可能没有与之相对应的句子。

虽说快速阅读部分“大变脸”，但实际上却是“换汤不换药”。从官方给出的样题来看，长篇阅读实际上可以看做新形式的快速阅读。为什么这么说呢？首先，官方给出的样题文章直接取材自2007年12月四级考试的快速阅读文章，文章内容和篇幅基本没有变化；其次，长篇阅读的分值比例和做题时间也与快速阅读相同；最后，虽然题目的考查方式变了，但其实只是把原来的选择题和填空题换成了句子匹配题，而考生在解答选择题和填空题时，本质上就是把题干内容和原文内容进行相应的信息匹配。因此，面对阅读部分的改革，考生不必过于担心，打好基础、研究真题才是最重要的。

2013年6月四级阅读真题评析

2013年6月的四、六级考试第二次实行“多题多卷”的考试形式。目前笔者收集到了这次考试的三套真题。此次四级考试的阅读部分在文章题材、体裁和阅读题型等方面依旧延续了以往的思路。下面笔者就结合这三套真题来具体分析。

快速阅读部分

首先，从文章题材来看，三篇快速阅读的文章涉及三个不同的内容。三篇文章的标题分别是“School Lunch”（学校午餐）、“Can Digital Textbooks Truly Replace the Print Kind？”（电子版教材能否真正替代印刷版教材？）、“Surviving the Recession”（在萧条中求生）。从标题基本可以看出，第一篇文章涉及饮食和健康，第二篇文章主要讨论新技术对传统教学的冲击，第三篇文章应该与商业经济有关。从题材的角度来看，以上三篇文章可分别归入健康、新技术和商业经济的范畴。

其次，从文章体裁来看，本次四级考试快速阅读的文章体裁都是论说文。从历年的命题来看，快速阅读部分的文章体裁都是论说文，记叙文至今没有出现过。

最后，从命题的角度来看，快速阅读的命题方式依然是“7 + 3”的结构，即七道选择题和三道填空题。本次的选择题依然以考查文章细节内容为主，整体难度适中。而填空题则有难有易，所填答案主要是动词性成分和名词性成分。下面笔者重点分析两道比较典型的题目。其中一题是标题为“School Lunch”的快速阅读文章的第8题，其题干是这样的：“Students are advised to stay away from snack foods offered à la carte because their extra fat and sugar will make them ———.”考生可根据题干定位词à la carte将答案信息定位到原文倒数第五段的倒数第三句和倒数第四句：“Stay away from snack foods offered à la carte. They may fill you up now， but the ones that contain a lot of fat and sugar will slow you down later.”该题有一定难度，因为题干中有明显的表示因果关系的词because，而原文中没有出现明显的表示因果关系的词。其实，原文两句之间也暗含因果关系，只是考生需要自行判断出来。对照原文与题干中的这种因果关系，此题空格处应填入动词性成分slow down later。另一题是标题为“Can Digital Textbooks Truly Replace the Print Kind？”的文章的第8题。该题较简单，考生只要通过同义替换就能找到答案。该题题干是这样的：“One of the challenges to build an interactive digital textbook from the ground up is that it takes a great deal of ———.”考生可根据题干定位词interactive和from the ground up将答案信息定位到原文倒数第四段的这句话：“Each interactive textbook is a media-heavy experience built from the ground up， and you can tell that it takes a respectable amount of manpower to put together each one.”考生只要能看出a great deal of和a respectable amount of是同义替换，就能立刻找到答案：manpower （to put together each one）。

总结：四级考试改革后，虽然快速阅读的考查方式发生了变化，但是往年的快速阅读真题依然具有一定的参考价值。笔者建议考生在备考练习时，把每道题的正确答案和原文相应的内容作匹配，这样的练习方法就相当于把曾经的选择题和填空题变成了改革后的信息匹配题。

深度阅读部分

首先，从文章题材来看，本次四级考试深度阅读部分的文章以旧题材为主，主要包括商业经济、健康、婚姻家庭等。值得注意的是，在本次四级考试的深度阅读部分，商业经济类文章所占的比重较大，占据了深度阅读部分的“半壁江山”。另外，笔者结合快速阅读部分的分析发现，四级考试中快速阅读和深度阅读的题材相似度极高。

其次，从文章体裁来看，本次四级考试深度阅读的文章体裁主要是论说文，没有出现记叙文。从历年真题来看，深度阅读部分出现频率最高的是论说文，记叙文只是偶尔出现。因此，考生在备考时应侧重于训练论说文体裁的阅读文章，尤其应训练自己快速查找观点句和结论句的技能。

最后，从题型来看，往年四级考试的深度阅读部分主要考查三种题型：细节题、词义题和推断题（关于词义题和推断题的介绍请参见本刊2011年4月号和2011年10月号的相关文章）。本次四级考试深度阅读部分出现的题型基本都是细节题。词义题难度相对较大，但并没有出现在目前笔者搜集到的三套题中。在这三套题中，推断题只出现了一道，也算是本次考试深度阅读部分最难的一道题。下面笔者就来重点分析如何解答这道推断题。该题的题干表述是典型的推断题：“We can conclude from the passage that ———.”由于该题出现在最后一题的位置上，因此既有可能是针对最后一段的内容而设置的，也有可能是针对全文内容而设置的主旨性题目。审题之后可知，这道题需要联系全文内容来解答，属于一道全文主旨题。文章内容主要围绕“爱情”和“婚姻”展开论述，甚至上升到了文化的高度，通过论述阐释了婚姻的重要性。虽然文章末段没有直接给出本题的答案，但实际上结合全文主要内容，再结合文章第二段的末句“That’s why historically we see an increase in romantic love as a basis for forming long-term relationships”，考生便可得出答案。本题答案是“Romantic love is becoming increasingly important in family relationships”这一选项。

总结：考生备考时应重点训练深度阅读部分的细节题，因为这种题型难度一般不大，但所占比重却非常大。在做细节题时，考生应主要关注原文中出现的相关答案信息以及相关人物的观点句，同时还应关注原文中出现的转折句和表示因果关系的句子，这些地方都是命题的热点。相反，推断题和词义题则属于“性价比不高”的题，因为这两种题型出现频率不高，且难度较大。因此，考生在平时训练时不必在这两种题型上钻牛角尖，只要能掌握基本做题思路即可。

选词填空部分

首先，从选项的角度来看，本次四级考试选词填空部分和往年一样，都侧重于考查动词和名词的用法，形容词考查得不多，副词考查得最少。

其次，从解题的角度来看，本次考试的选词填空部分仍侧重考查词性、词义和语法搭配。需要提醒考生的是，选词填空题最难的地方在于选项词经常会出现一词兼有两种词性的情况，如本次考试的三套题中出现的以下几个词：reason （作名词表示“原因”，作动词表示“推理”）、monitor （作名词表示“监视器”，作动词表示“监测”）、maximum （作形容词表示“最大的”，作名词表示“最大值”）、excess （作名词表示“过度，过量”，作形容词表示“过度的，过量的”）等。另外，就语法而言，考生除了要分析句子成分从而确定空格处所缺单词的词性外，还要重点关注名词的形式，因为名词有可数和不可数以及单数和复数之分。本次考试中出现的以下几个名词在选项中就是以复数形式呈现的：results （结果）、symbols （象征，符号）、symptoms （症状）、accidents （事故）、instances （例子，情况）等。此外，副词有时也会给考生造成一定的障碍，因为很多考生对副词不是特别熟悉。本次四级考试中出现的较难的副词有以下几个：consequently （因此）、dramatically （显著地）、briefly （短暂地，简单地说）。

总结：选词填空部分以考查词汇和语法搭配为主。因此要做好选词填空题，考生需要具备一定的词汇和语法基本功。另外，从选词填空题的考查方式来看，考生在平时背单词时，需特别关注所记单词的词性。

2013年12月四级备考建议

由于2013年12月四级考试将进行改革，快速阅读部分发生变化，因此笔者建议考生在平时学习的过程中注意打牢语言基础，这样在考场上才能以不变应万变。考生在备考时要注意以下几点。

1. 关注改革后的官方样题。改革后的题型没有太多现成的真题可供研究，唯一可以参考的就是官方样题，因此针对这次四级改革，考生应该重点关注官方样题，最好能自己做一做样题，找找做题的感觉（官方四级样题下载地址：http：//www.cet.edu.cn/cet4_2013.pdf）。

2. 以真题为核心备考。考生在备考时应该把主要精力集中在真题上。实际上，考生只要能把近五年的真题研究透彻，通过四级考试就是水到渠成的事情。至于市面上那些令人眼花缭乱的模拟题，考生应尽量不接触，因为模拟题毕竟不是命题人出的，所以在题目的难度和考点上或多或少会偏离真题，严重时可能会误导考生的做题思路。

3. 扩大阅读面。阅读的基本功还是很重要的，所以笔者建议考生平时多做阅读训练。当然，这里说的阅读未必是四级真题的阅读文章，也可以是其他阅读内容，比如网络、报纸、杂志上的英语文章都可以作为阅读材料。读得多了，考生就能逐渐熟悉英语的很多用法和表达方式，而这些对于应对四级考试来说都是极有帮助的。

篇5：英语四级试题答案

Section A

Directions：In this section， there is a passage with ten blanks。 You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage。 Read the passage through carefully before making your choices。 Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter。 Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre。 You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once。

Questions 26 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Physical activity does the body good, and there’s growing evidence that it helps the brain too. Researchers in the Netherlands report that children who get more exercise, whether at school or on their own,  26 to have higher GPAs and better scores on standardized tests. In a  27  of 14 studies that looked at physical activity and academic 28 , investigators found that the more children moved, the better their grades were in school,  29  in the basic subjects of math, English and reading.

The data will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over whether physical education classes should be cut as schools struggle to  30  on smaller budgets. The arguments against physical education have included concerns that gym time may be taking away from study time. With standardized test scores in the U.S.  31  in recent years, some administrators believe students need to spend more time in the classroom instead of on the playground. But as these findings show, exercise and academics may not be  32  exclusive. Physical activity can improve blood  33  to the brain, fueling memory, attention and creativity, which are  34  to learning. And exercise releases hormones that can improve  35  and relieve stress, which can also help learning. So while it may seem as if kids are just exercising their bodies when they’re running around, they may actually be exercising their brains as well.

Section B

Directions： In this section， you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it。 Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs。 Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived。 You may choose a paragraph more than once。 Each paragraph is marked with a letter。 Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2。

Finding the Right Home—and Contentment, Too

[A] When your elderly relative needs to enter some sort of long-term care facility—a moment few parents or children approach without fear—what you would like is to have everything made clear.

[B] Does assisted living really mark a great improvement over a nursing home, or has the industry simply hired better interior designers? Are nursing homes as bad as people fear, or is that an out-moded stereotype (固定看法)? Can doing one’s homework really steer families to the best places? It is genuinely hard to know.

[C] I am about to make things more complicated by suggesting that what kind of facility an older person lives in may matter less than we have assumed. And that the characteristics adult children look for when they begin the search are not necessarily the things that make a difference to the people who are going to move in. I am not talking about the quality of care, let me hastily add. Nobody flourishes in a gloomy environment with irresponsible staff and a poor safety record. But an accumulating body of research indicates that some distinctions between one type of elder care and another have little real bearing on how well residents do.

[D]The most recent of these studies, published in The journal of Applied Gerontology, surveyed 150 Connecticut residents of assisted living, nursing homes and smaller residential care homes (known in some states as board and care homes or adult care homes). Researchers from the University of Connecticut Health Center asked the residents a large number of questions about their quality of life, emotional well-being and social interaction, as well as about the quality of the facilities.

[E]“We thought we would see differences based on the housing types,” said the lead author of the study, Julie Robison, an associate professor of medicine at the university. A reasonable assumption—don’t families struggle to avoid nursing homes and suffer real guilt if they can’t?

[F] In the initial results, assisted living residents did paint the most positive picture. They were less likely to report symptoms of depression than those in the other facilities, for instance, and less likely to be bored or lonely. They scored higher on social interaction.

[G] But when the researchers plugged in a number of other variables, such differences disappeared. It is not the housing type, they found, that creates differences in residents’ responses. “It is the characteristics of the specific environment they are in, combined with their own personal characteristics—how healthy they feel they are, their age and marital status,” Dr. Robison explained. Whether residents felt involved in the decision to move and how long they had lived there also proved significant.

[H] An elderly person who describes herself as in poor health, therefore, might be no less depressed in assisted living (even if her children preferred it) than in a nursing home. A person who bad input into where he would move and has had time to adapt to it might do as well in a nursing home as in a small residential care home, other factors being equal. It is an interaction between the person and the place, not the sort of place in itself, that leads to better or worse experiences. “You can’t just say, ‘Let’s put this person in a residential care home instead of a nursing home—she will be much better off,” Dr. Robison said. What matters, she added, “is a combination of what people bring in with them, and what they find there.”

[I] Such findings, which run counter to common sense, have surfaced before. In a multi-state study of assisted living, for instance, University of North Carolina researchers found that a host of variables—the facility’s type, size or age; whether a chain owned it; how attractive the neighborhood was—had no significant relationship to how the residents fared in terms of illness, mental decline, hospitalizations or mortality. What mattered most was the residents’ physical health and mental status. What people were like when they came in had greater consequence than what happened one they were there.

[J] As I was considering all this, a press release from a respected research firm crossed my desk, announcing that the five-star rating system that Medicare developed in 2008 to help families compare nursing home quality also has little relationship to how satisfied its residents or their family members are. As a matter of fact, consumers expressed higher satisfaction with the one-star facilities, the lowest rated, than with the five-star ones. (More on this study and the star ratings will appear in a subsequent post.)

[K] Before we collectively tear our hair out—how are we supposed to find our way in a landscape this confusing?—here is a thought from Dr. Philip Sloane, a geriatrician（老年病学专家）at the University of North Carolina：“In a way, that could be liberating for families.”

[L] Of course, sons and daughters want to visit the facilities, talk to the administrators and residents and other families, and do everything possible to fulfill their duties. But perhaps they don’t have to turn themselves into private investigators or Congressional subcommittees. “Families can look a bit more for where the residents are going to be happy，” Dr. Sloane said. And involving the future resident in the process can be very important.

[M] We all have our own ideas about what would bring our parents happiness. They have their ideas, too. A friend recently took her mother to visit an expensive assisted living/nursing home near my town. I have seen this place—it is elegant, inside and out. But nobody greeted the daughter and mother when they arrived, though the visit had been planned; nobody introduced them to the other residents. When they had lunch in the dining room, they sat alone at a table.

[N] The daughter feared her mother would be ignored there, and so she decided to move her into a more welcoming facility. Based on what is emerging from some of this research, that might have been as rational a way as any to reach a decision.

36. Many people feel guilty when they cannot find a place other than a nursing home for their parents.

37.Though it helps for children to investigate care facilities, involving their parents in the decision-making process may prove very important.

38.It is really difficult to tell if assisted living is better than a nursing home.

39.How a resident feels depends on an interaction between themselves and the care facility they live in.

40.The author thinks her friend made a rational decision in choosing a more hospitable place over an apparently elegant assisted living home.

41.The system Medicare developed to rate nursing home quality is of little help to finding a satisfactory place.

42.At first the researchers of the most recent study found residents in assisted living facilities gave higher scores on social interaction.

43.What kind of care facility old people live in may be less important than we think.

44.The findings of the latest research were similar to an earlier multi-state study of assisted living.

45.A resident’s satisfaction with a care facility has much to do with whether they had participated in the decision to move in and how long they had stayed there.
