My favorite TV show? ―The Twilight Zone.‖ I 36)especially like the episode called ―The Printer’s Devil.‖ It’s about a newspaper editor who’s being 37)driven out of business by a big newspaper syndicate – you know, a group of papers 3

8)owned by the same people.

He is about to 39)commit suicide when he is interrupted by an old man who says his name is Smith. The editor is not only offered 5,000 dollars to pay off his newspaper’s 40)debts, but this Smith character also offers his 41)services for free. It turns out that the guy 4

2)operates the printing machine with amazing speed, and soon he is turning out newspapers with 43)shocking headlines. The small paper is successful again. The editor is amazed at how quickly Smith gets his stories – only minutes after they happen – but soon he is presented with a contract to sign. Mr. Smith, it seems, is really the devil! 44)The editor is frightened by this news, but he is more frightened by the idea of losing his newspaper, so he agrees to sign.

I really like these old episodes of the Twilight Zone, because the stories are fascinating. 46)They are not realistic. But then again, in a way they are, because they deal with human nature.

第二篇：大学生英语四级考试阅读集训试题及答案

Japan is getting tough about recycling—and not in the paper and plastic kind of way. Recently, the country requires that all electronic goods—TVs, VCRs, stereos, and more—be recycled. But recycling will not beleft to consumers, instead, the devices will be sent to the original manufacturer for proper disposal.The new law poses a few challenges to m

Meanwhile, Matsushita Electric, maker of the Panasonic brand, is avoiding plastic in favor of magnesium (镁). Magnesium, says the company, is ideal for re cycling because it retains its original strength throughrepeated reprocessing. Matsushita has developed molding techniques to form magnesium into the case for a 21-inch TV. Unfortunately, the magnesium case and energy-saving features make the TV about twice as expensive as an ordinary model.The company hopes, however, that increased use of magnesium will eventually bring prices down.

答案解析

1.[C] 推理判断题。文章首段提到了电子产品的回收利用与纸张和塑料不同;本段最后一句中的but表明了以上不同点在于电子产品的回收不依靠消费者，而依靠生产者。结合以上两点，可以推断纸张和塑料的回收利用主要靠消费者，因此选项C为正确答案。

2.[B] 事实细节題。本题考査列举处。第2段第3句列举了塑料的特性，对照选项和该句，就能发现文中明确提到选项A、C、D,而选项B显然与原文意思相反。

3.[B] 事实细节题。本题考査复合句的理解。第2段第4句是一个非限制性定语从句，是plastics sandwich 的定义，选项B是对该定语从句所述亊实的总结，因此选项B正确。选項A在文中没有提及;选项C中的maximum是对原文sufficient的曲解;选项D中的100%这一数据不准确，文中只提到plastics sandwich里层是100%的再生塑料。

4.[C] 推理判断题。本题考査转折处。最后一段倒数第2句中的Unfortunately一词指出了用镁作机壳的电视机很贵，从而暗示它们并不受消费者欢迎，所以选项C正确。选项A属原文明确表达的意思。本段第2句只指出镁是一种理想的再生材料(ideal for recycling),因此选项B不对;全文并未比较塑料和镁哪个更好，因此选项D不对。

5.[A] 主旨大意题。文中作者只是客观地描述亊实，吿知读者日本的电子产品再循环使用的一些新变化和新技术，抓住这个主旨就能选出正确答案A。作者并未发表任何个人观点，也未做出任何指示或預测。
