这是一篇“中等偏上”的学生作文。本文先对网购热潮进行简

介，引出全篇；接着对网络购物的正反两方面进行对比；最后提出自

己的看法结束全篇。整体看思路清晰，逻辑严密，行文流畅，用语较

为地道。

17

下面说一下这篇文章的有待提高之处：

1.文章结构上，能看得出该同学试图采用议论文的“三段式”（提

出问题、分析问题、解决问题）。但是，以“Withthedevelopment

oftheInternet”为开首语，有些落入俗套，有硬套模板的嫌疑。

稍加注意，应该能写出更好的句子。

2.微观语言点方面，有些语句稍显啰嗦，比如Withplentiful

lectionoptions…简化成Withplentifullections…更好，

意思没有丝毫减损，表达力反而增强许多。

点评：

本次四级作文探讨的是最近的热点话题之一——互联网网购。目

前网购的风靡程度是众所周知，因此，考生对于该话题还是比较熟悉

的。但是，比较特殊的是，题干所列出的要求的是考生从一个客观的

角度来阐述该话题，而不是简单陈述自己的意见。所以，考生应当审

清楚题，在写作时不仅仅要列出网购的优点，还必须给出相应的缺点。

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；

18

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。

点评：

作者在第一段描述了网购作为一种时尚给大家的生活带来了便

利，然后话锋一转，说网购仍然取代不了面对面的购物交流。

第二段主要还是从正反两方面分析了网购的优势和不足，以此描

述大家对网购的不同反应。

第三段作者表明了自己的观点，对网购的便利和不足之处都做了

描述。

综合来讲，本篇文章观点明确，结构清晰，语言表达地道，有不

少闪光词汇，但是，内容深度上来讲还有些欠缺，另外，最后一部分

表达个人观点，和第二段稍有重复。考生需要注意观点的清晰，不宜

模棱两可。

PartIIReadingComprehension(SkimmingandScanning)

taste

解析：题干中generallyknownfor对应原文areputationfor，

根据原文第一句WhydoesBritishfoodhaveareputationforbeing

sobad?Becauitisbad!可知关键词为bad，故选B。

equatesupplyofproduction

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。

plecaredmoreforquantity

19

解析：由competewithsomeofitsneighbouringcountries

可以定位到原文第6段，theyweren'tlookingfor…,theywere

lookingfor…,thisprioritizationofquantityoverquality

prevailedfordecades.可见他们对数量的追求高于质量，因此选

B。

dsofoverasvisitors

解析：由题干关键词culinary定位到原文第7段，根据最后一句…

itsabilitytopleathetastesofanyinternationalvisitor.

而anyinternationalvisitor就等同于答案allkindsofoveras

visitors。故选C.

asandprentations

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HongKongdinersareextremelyresponsivetonewideas

orprentations,…这里的areextremelyresponsiveto在意思

上等于题干中的welcome。

inBritishtraditionaltastes

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Tamlynisinthecondcamp，可知Tamlyn属于后

者，即保留原汁原味。故答案选D。

eproducedonexcellentorganicfarms

解析：由NeilTomes定位到原文第12段，根据最后两句话…Ithas

excellentorganicfarms,beautifullycraftedchees,

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。

almarkets

解析：根据原文，…whichmeanswetakeourvegetablesfrom

thelocalmarkets,…即除了从英国直接进口，还有部分蔬菜从本

地市场购买的。

tishway

解析：先定位到ThePhoenix那一段，再找到下一段，Weua

lotofingredientsthatpeoplewouldn'tperhapsassociateas

British,butareprentedinaBritishway.

解析：AtYorkshirePudding,Hillsaysthathisstaffasks

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。

howhecouldgetajobwhenhelookslikethat.

W:Oh,thatpoorguy!Hereallyshouldshavehimlfevery

otherdayatleastandputonsomethingclean.

Q:WhatdowelearnaboutShawn?

答案：relessabouthisappearance.

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'

isnotthefirsttimewe'vehadtowaitforher.

M:doeshavetodrivethroughveryheavy

traffictogethere.

Q:Whatdoesthemanimply?

答案：ybecaughtinatrafficjam.

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：“doeshavetodrivethroughvery

heavytraffictogethere.”（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!Iheardyourbaballteamisgoingto

theMiddleAtlanticChampionship.

W:Yeah,we'reallworkingrealhardrightnow!

Q:Whatisthewoman'steamdoing?

答案：ngfortheMid-AtlanticChampionship.

解析：对话开头男生提到女生所在的棒球队要参加Mid-Atlantic

Championship.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,Makingpreparationsfora

trans-Atlantictrip,必须注意的是：这里并不是准备旅行，而是准

备参赛。

M:Oh,that'knowhisfatherpasdaway

Q:WhatdowelearnaboutJohn?

答案：eenhavingahardtime.

解析：根据听力原文可知，“John'smotherisinthehospital

andhisfatherdiedlastyear.”（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',Ithinkit'sbeenalong

timesinceI'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'mhavingalotoftroublewithlogicanditemsmy

professorcan'texplainitinawaythatmakesntome.

M:Youknow,

abouttodropstatisticsbeforetheyhelpedmeout.

Q:Whatdoesthemanmean?

答案：anshouldekhelpfromtutoringrvices.

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:uwearingitlast

week,did'tI?

W:Oh,thatwasn''sin

yourclass.

Q:Whatdoesthewomanmean?

答案：retheovercoatlastweek.

解析：首先男生问女生上周是否穿过拉风外套，然后女生说：

“'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。

答案：inarysituation.

解析：根据原文录音可知，对话开头男生讲到：“Jane,suppo

youlostallyourmoneywhiletakingavacationoveras,what

wouldyoudo?”这里的"suppo"表明“假定、料想”由此可见，

两人谈论的是一个虚拟场景。

Q21:Whatdoesthewomansayiscommoninwritingpapers?

23

A)Newideascomeupasyouwrite.

19.D)Asportheparticipatesin

解析：题目问的是，男生论文的主题是什么，从talkaboutwhat

particularsportmeanstomewhenIparticipatein一句中，

可得对应选项D。C选项是一个干扰项，painandpleasureinsports,

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'tdecidewhethertoincludetheeffortpart

ofskiing.

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D

21.A)Newideascomeupasyouwrite.

解析：在对话的最后，教授提到“Partofyourpointyouknew

'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。

22.D)Hostessoftheweekly“BusinessWorld”

解析：从对话中可以听出，这是一个访谈节目，因此这个女性是

节目主持人。

23.B)Heandhiswifedideverythingbythemlves.

解析：题目问的是，刚开始的时候，Angeleno的生意怎么样？对

话中提到，Ididallthecookingmylfandmywifewaitedon

no负责做菜，他妻子负责接待，对应选项B。

24.B)Headvertisalotonradioandinnewspapers.

解析：从ButIadvertialotonradioandinlocal

newspapers.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，I

alwaysrvethefreshestpossiblefoodandImakethe

atmosphereascomfortableandaspleasantasIcan,sothatmy

customerswillwanttocomeback.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。

25

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。

篇章类型及提要：论证文

听力点睛：

本文主要介绍关于纠正一些对眼镜及视力的常识的错误认识。注

意文章首句"Therearemanycommonlyheldbeliefsabouteye

glassandeyesightthatarenotprovenfacts."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。

Questions26to28arebadonthepassageyouhavejust

heard.

esthespeakerwanttotellusabouteyesight?

答案：C）Therearemanyfalnotionsaboutit.

26

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。

studiesaboutwearingthewrongglassshow?

答案：C）Itcanleadtothelossofvisioninchildren.

解析：本题关键词是"studies""wearingthewrongglass".

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"foradults

thereisnodanger"，因此排除B选项。"thereisnoevidence...

thestructureofeyesischanged""itdoesnotpermanently

damageeyesight"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。

welearnabouteyetransplantingfromthetalk?

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"Onlycertain

partsoftheeyecanbereplaced""Onlycertainpartsofthe

eyecanbereplaced"可以推断出答案是D选项。

答案：D）Theyhavejobsandothercommitments.

解析：细节题。本题询问原因，文章开头很快就给出了本题答案

"becautheyoftenhavejobsandotherresponsibilities."注

意D选项中的commitments的意思是“承诺，保证；承担义务”和

responsibilities意思相近。这也是四级考试中常见的选项设置，

用同义词或近义词替换掉文中的词汇。这要求考试在备考时，重点词

汇及其同义词反义词都要有所了解。其他选项文中没有提及，可排除。

mostwivesunwillingtoputtheirdependent

husbandsintonursinghomes?

答案：A)Theydon'twanttouupalltheirlifesavings.

解析：细节题。关键词"wives""husbands"。本题不难，文章中

已经直接给出答案"inordernottouuptheirlifesavings"。

ingtothepassage,whatmustcaregiverslearn

答案：C）Befrankandekhelpfromothers.

解析：关键词"caregivers""learntodo"，问看护人应该要学

会做的事情，然后迅速定位于最后部分，"Oneconsiderationisto

ask..."，"Caregiversmustalsolearntostate..."主要有两件

事情，C选项是其中一个，另外一个选项中没有，排除A、B和D选

项。

解析：主旨题。本题简单，了解了文章主要内容后，就可以直接

选出答案。注意不要被文章中员工们得对工作环境的complaints影

响而混淆了。

33WhatdidtheX-raytechnicianaskhercompanytodo?

A)Theyrequestedtotransfertoasaferdepartment.

答案：A)Theyrequestedtotransfertoasaferdepartment.

解析：细节题。作者有直接读出答案，比较简单。注意选B选项

的同学可能犯了想当然的错误。做题还是要按照文章的事实根据来。

35Whydidtheworkersinthefirmwearski-clothingtowork?

C)Toprotestagainstthepoorworkingconditions.

答案：C）Toprotestagainstthepoorworkingconditions.

解析：推理题。本题容易误选D选项。因为是heatingsystem

出了故障。但通过下文"tooembarrasd""hadtheheatingsystem

replacedrightaway"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。

本文提要：

本篇属于科技类文章，主要围绕时间和运动的关系展开；用谚语

开篇引出全文，很有吸引力。中间引用爱因斯坦的相对论相关概念，

具体阐述主题。

答案：

e

解析：文章描述：运动越快，时间变慢得也更快，这也就意味着

宇航员有朝一日可以在太空中生存（survive）很久，如此一来他们

就可以在遥远（distant）的未来重返地球。

t

解析：这个空在future前面，所以预判该填形容词常用搭配无

非near，clo，distant等，根据听力原文，如上所述，确定是

遥远的未来；填distant。

rd

解析：速度达到光速，时间静止；根据常识推断，若速度快于光

速，那么时间将后退，即movebackward，根据听力原文可确定这一

推断。

ered

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。

ific

解析：该空后接名词，应为形容词，scientific。

解析：

30

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。

ted

解析：爱因斯坦在1905年时作出预测，用过去时predicted。

uced

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。

veataspeedgreaterthanlight,andtherefore,

mightrveasourpassportstothepast.

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。

ohavebeenapartofhumanityforaslongas

humanhaveexisted.

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。

efinitionoftimeforexperimentalpurpos,

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。

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。

ciatedwith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”；

51.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”；

entfrom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。

SectionB

PassageOne

nwelearnfromsomerecentstudies?

答案：aciallodgingmayhavediveroutcomes.

32

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beingrandomly

assignedtoaroommateofanotherracecanleadtoincread

tolerancebutalsotoagreaterlikelihoodofconflict。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

esSamBoakye'sremarkmean?

答案：urroundedbywhitepeersmotivatesablack

studenttoworkhardertosucceed.

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SamBoakye的话是什么意思？通过定位可以找

到SamBoakye的那段话，即ifyou'resurroundedbywhites,you

havesomethingtoprove.这句话前面的插入语-theonlyblack

studentonhisfreshmanyearfloor-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。

estheIndianUniversitystudyshow?

答案：acialroommatesaremorelikelytofallout.

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Interracialroommatewerethreetimes

aslikelyastwowhiteroommatestonolongerlivetogether，

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。

esAlecWebleyconsidertobethe“definition

33

ofintegration”?

答案：oolrandomlyassignsroommateswithout

regardtorace.

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“Thisisthedefinition

ofintegration”，由“this”可知人名前就是我们要找的答案，即

theprocessthrowsyoutogetherrandomly，“throwyoutogether

randomly”与“randomlyassign”对应。意思与选项D符合。因此，

此处选择D。

esGraceKaosayaboutinterraciallodging?

答案：scientifictomakegeneralizationsabout

itwithoutfurtherstudy.

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Interracial

lodging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GlobalHumanitarianForum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。

thefindingoftheGlobalHumanitarianForum?

答案：fdeathfromillnesshaverindueto

globalwarming.

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“…deathrates

fromillness…”。所以，最后正确的选项是B。

welearnabouttheForum'sreportfromthe

passage?

答案：hallengedbysomeclimateandriskexperts.

关键词：learn、Forum'sreport

定位：第三段

34

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“thereportdrewcriticismfromsome

expertsonclimateandrisk”，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,werebeingriously

effected…”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。

sayabouttheForum'sreport?

答案：validintermsofmethodology.

关键词：、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‘amethodological

embarrassment'”,然后在第六行“butthereport,hesaid‘will

harmthe…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。

SorenAndrean'sviewofthereport?

答案：ghestimatesaremeanttodrawtheattention

ofworldleaders.

关键词：SorenAndrean

定位：第六段

解析：在第六段的第二行和第三行，可以看到“thenumberwere

thereportwasaimedatworld

leaders…”,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。

esKofiAnnansayshouldbethefocusofthe

Copenhagenconference?

答案：hcountriescanbetterhelppoorregions

reduceclimatehazards.

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“…fromrichtopoorregionstohelp

reduce…”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：

35

ic

ent

t

ed

n

ct

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heartdia

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

36

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“thisorthat”，

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，

“Scientistnowfocusonthebroaderpictureofthebalanceof

foodeatenoververaldaysoraweek”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。

81.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，

37

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。

PartVITranslation

versityauthoritiesdidnotapprovethe

regulation,nordidtheymakeanyexplanation/nordidthey

givethereasonfordoingso(也没有解释为什么).

解析：本题考察了两个知识点。①nor的倒装句用法，后半句表

示“也不”的否定意义，注意助动词的时态与上半句保持一致；②对

某事做出解释的表达，考察了汉译英中动词转名词的技巧，explain

→explanation，或者nordidtheygivethereasonfordoingso

同样可以。

tiredofdealingwithcustomercomplaintsand

wishesthatshecouldbeassigned(to)anotherjob（能被分配

做另一项工作）

解析：本题考察了wish从句的虚拟语气用法（can→could）和

“分配某人做某事”的词组搭配，.或者assign

.

scuedthedrowningchildattheriskofhisown

life(冒着自己生命危险).

解析：本题考察了“冒着…的危险/风险做某事”的词组搭配，

可以用attherisk/expenofone'sownlife（冒着某人的生

命危险做某事）

calledhisbossfromtheairportbutit①was

hisassistantwhoanswered/pickedupthephone；②turnedout

thathisassistantanswered/pickedupthephone（接电话的

却是他的助手）

解析：该句比较灵活，在句法上，既可以使用强调句结构，也可

以采用turnout的惯用搭配；在“接电话”的表达上，可以用pick

up/answerthephone。强调句结构为th.,

而turnout变化则较多，可以用th.

或者turnout+that+从句。

ghhewasinterestedinphilosophy,hisfather

persuadedhiminto/talkedhiminto（他的父亲说服他）majoring

inlaw.

解析：本题考察“说服某人做某事”的表达，persuade/talksb.

intodoingsth.

整体评价：今年6月的翻译题难度适中，89和91题的词组搭配是

拿分题，而87题的倒装结构和88题的虚拟语气用法也是广大四级考生

的“老朋友”，不熟悉实在说不过去。

【快速阅读】

（1）选A:Peopleinstinltivelyeknatureindifferentways.

解析：问题是作者的profoundbelief，第一段的最后一句给出了答

案，whetherweknowwearedoingsoornot（不管我们知道与否）

相当于句中的instinctively（本能地）.

（2）选D:Thingsthatarepurchad.

解析：文中第二段最后一句给出了答案，“oddnewperceptionsabout

whatisbestforchildren,thatistosay,thingsthatcanbe

bought”，奇怪的新观念，什么对孩子最好，能买到的东西。

（3）选B:Moreaccesstothenaturemakeschildrenlesslikely

tofallill.

解析：瑞典研究出现在文中的第四段第一句，在自然环境中玩耍的幼

儿园小朋友比在运动场玩耍的小朋友少患病，身体也更健康。很明显，

B选项最符合语意。

（4）选D:arelesslikelytobeinvolvedinbullying

54

解析：此题对应的是第六段的第一句，theleastbullyingisina

naturalareathatthechildrenareencouragedtoexplore，恃

强凌弱的现象在孩子们感兴趣去发现的自然环境中很少发生。因此，

D选项是正确答案。

（5）选B:Providemoregreenspacesforthem.

解析：第8段最后两句，众多研究表明，与自然接触对患有多动症的

孩子最有益。虽然如此，我们还是把钱花在了药物上，而非绿化环境。

因此B选项，提供更多的绿化面积，是正确答案。

（6）选B:Theyenjoyalifeofbetterquality.

解析：第九段第一句：Thelifeofoldpeopleismeasurablybetter

whentheyhaveaccesstonature.如果老年人有接触大自然的机

会，生活状况会明显改善不少。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这种高

质量生活水平的最重要因素。

（7）选C:accesstonaturecontributestothereductionof

violence解析：第11段第二句话给出了答案，自然环境能减少暴力

行为，因为其恢复过程有助于减少愤怒和冲动。因此，正确的答案应

该是C。

（8）parated

解析：对应到文中第12段，humanityandthenaturalworldare

parablethings，得到答案parated。照抄parable是不正确

的。

（9）thewildword

解析：最后一段第二句：Withoutthewildworldwearenotmore

butlesscivilized.照抄过来就行。

（10）harmony

解析：这道题考察的是最后几段的小标题，Fivewaystofindharmony

withthenaturalworld。因此harmony是正确答案。

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)Hehasgotenoughmoneytobuyahou.

C)Hecanfinallydowhathehasdreamedof.

D)Heismovingintoabiggerapartment.

答案：C

解析：Man第二句话说到Now,Ihaveenoughmoneytobuythat

pieceoflandI’vehadmyeyeonandbuildahouonit.表

明他能实现买地建房的理想了，故选C。

18.A)Sheisblackandblueallover.

B)Shehastogotoeadoctor.

C)Shestayedawayfromworkforafewdays.

63

D)Shegothurtinanaccidentyesterday.

答案：D

解析：Woman说的第一句话是Myhandsstillhurtsfromthe

fallontheiceyesterday.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muums

andrestaurants，天气再热也无所谓I’llbehappyherenomatter

whatthetemperature.

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,butIwish

thedirectorwouldgivemesomefeedback.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！

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！Canyouhelp

meworkoutaphysicaltrainingprogram,John?你能帮我制定个

锻炼的项目吗？Sure,butwhateveryoudobecarefulnotto

overdoit.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’worthof

weight-liftinginthreedaysandIhurtmylf.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，Notif

asaheartcondition,I’d

recommendagainstit.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：

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’tyoustopwhenwefirstsignaledyou

64

atthecrossroads?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,Iwasjustabitabnt-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butthatnoiinyour

refrigeratordoesn’oushouldhaveit

fixed.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havesth

done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。AndIsuppoI’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！she

willfixitherlf.

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！Ididextremelywellonthesaleof

mydowntownapartment.也就是说卖了一个好价钱啦！Now,Ihave

enoughmoneytobuythatpieceoflandI’vehadmyeyeonand

buildahouonit.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，blackand

blue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，My

r

ifIbrokesomething.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，IwonderifI

65

couldgetmarriedwithSisterPhoenix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’snotblack

oujustneedtorestitforafew

days.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：

welearnaboutthewoman?

答案：D)Shewasawitnesstothecrime.

解析：文中男士需要女士描述一下抢劫银行的人（describethe

manwhorobbedthebank）。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。

dthesuspectlooklike?

答案：A)Atallmanwithdarkhairandamoustache.

解析：原文中提到Themanwastall,sixfoot,andhehaddark

hair,andhehadmoustache.，对应选项A。

dthemanfinallyaskedthewomantodo?

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。

thewomangettoknowaboutthejobvacancy?

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’mcallingaboutthejobthatwasinthepaper

lastnight.从这句话中可以看出她得知职位信息的来源是thepaper

lastnight，对应A选项。

thewomanfindthejobappealing?

答案：B)Shecouldworkclotoherfamily.

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.，clo是near的

同义替换词，因此选择B选项。

dthewomanbeendoinginGeneva?

答案：C)Workingasacretary.

解析：女士提到她在日内瓦做了一些cretarialwork，也就

是选项C中的cretary。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.

sthewomanaskedtodointheend?

66

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（replyawritingtotheadvertiment），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：

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,cretarial

work,degreeinEnglish,beneartothefamily,applications

inwriting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clo替换了

near，24题中用cretary替换了cretarialwork。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：

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。

“becautheythinktheyhaveenamonster”“Toprevent

suchtragedies,firefighterEricVelezgivestalkstochildren

inhiscommunity,explainingthattheyshouldneverhideduring

afire.”“Butit’safactthatinformativespeakingsaves

67

lives.”“PeteGentryinNorthCarolinarescuedhisbrother

whoischokingonfood,”“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frightenedbysmokeandnoi；EricVelezlearntSpanish

fromhisimmigrantparents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catchaglimpof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whenchildrencatchaglimpofthe

maskedfirefighterbuthidebecautheythinktheyhaveen

amonster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，putout

fire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PeteGentryinNorthCarolinarescuedhis

brotherwhoischokingonfood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.

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“makeand

savealotofmoneyinordertoretireearly”，另一种则是“live

onlyfortoday”，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，

68

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

early，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,makesitdifficult

nottoworkwhenyouareolder.”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)Enjoyingyourlfwhileyoucan.

解析：本课考察文章作者的态度，从“Postponingdoingwhat

youloveandbeingwithpeopleyouloveuntilretirementcan

beamistake.”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：Anew

signinthewindowtoldthestory.“Nomorethantwostudents

atatime”；

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。

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”。

69

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，”A

newsigninthewindowtoldthestory.”

而这个sign的内容就是紧随其后的“Nomorethantwostudents

atatime”.

35.B)Hewasclolywatched.

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。

文章关于学术界和商界之间的一些关系。

很少有商界人士愿意改行做纯学术研究，但是也有例外的。这些人对

高校学生的就业意义比较大。

57题，问单行道的意思是什么。文章第一段就说“Itisprettymuch

tmaybecommonforuniversity

71

rearcherstotrytheirluckinthecommercialworld,there

isverylittletrafficintheoppositedirection.”高校研究

者到商界去碰运气可能很常见，但是相反的方向却人很少。也就是说

很少有商界的人愿意回归学校做纯学术研究。所以选C，很少有工业

科学家愿意放弃去一个高校工作。industrialscientists在文中指

的就是商界人士。

58题，问deterrent这个词的意思。这题有一定迷惑性，要根据上

下文来判断。上文说的是很少有商界的人愿意回高校的。原因就在于

薪酬（pay),后面接着具体解释：没人能接受换个高校的工作后工资

下降。所以deterrent这个词是表明原因的，要么是A选项阻碍因素，

要么是C选项促进因素。而从上下文看薪酬是阻碍商界人士去高校工

作的，也就是阻碍因素，所以选A。

另外，如果知道deterrent这个词的意思话可以迅速作答：威慑因素。

59题，问HelenLee在职业生涯中期换工作的首要考虑是什么。第

二段是这么说的：Hermainreasonforreturningtoacademia

mid-careerwastotakeadvantageofthegreaterfreedomto

choorearchquestions。利用更大的自由来选择研究的问题。

也就是说之前不在academia的时候，没有那么多的选择空间：什么

赚钱做什么，现在可以自己根据自己的喜好来choo了。所以选B。

60题，问GuyGrant问什么选择做剑桥研究者。第三段的最后一句

话是这么说的：Hetooka30%salarycutbutfeltitworthwhile

forthegreaterintellectualopportunities.所以这题选D。

61题，问当工业科学家去高校教书时能做什么样的贡献。答案在最

后一段：Theyarealsowellplacedtobringsomethingextrato

theteachingsideofanacademicrolethatwillhelpstudents

getajobwhentheygraduate。他们给学术角色的教书面带来了一

些额外的东西，这些东西在学生毕业时可以帮助他们找工作。所以选

A：提高毕业生在就业市场上的竞争力。

PASSAGE2

62.

A)sociallifeprovidesaneffectivecureforillness

B)beingsociablehelpsimproveone'squalityoflife

72

C)womenbenefitmorethanmenfrommarriage

D)marriagecontributesagreatdealtolongevity

选择D项。

根据题目中的关键词WillianFarr找到对应的出题段落——文章第

一段。根据文章第一段中thebiggestlongevity(长寿)boostems

tocomefrommarriage…直接可以得知D项正确。A项“交际活动

能有效治疗疾病”和B项“好交际能提高一个人的生活质量”在文中

找不到依据，文章的重点是讲述交际活动（主要是夫妻间）对于寿命

的积极作用；由文中marriagecouldaddasmuchasvenyears

toaman'slifeandtwotoawoman's可知C项错误。

63.

LindaWaite'sstudiessupporttheideathat.

A)oldermenshouldquitsmokingtostayhealthy

B)marriagecanhelpmakeforillhealth

C)themarriedarehappierthantheunmarried

D)unmarriedpeoplearelikelytosufferinlaterlife

选择B项。

由关键词LindaWaite锁定本题的出题源应该在第二段。由第二段中

的两个例子：一是患有心脏疾病的已婚老人要比没有相关疾病的未婚

老人寿命长约4年；二是一个每天要抽一包多香烟的已婚老人和一个

从不吸烟的离过婚的老人寿命几乎一样长。可以推断出B项“婚姻有

助于人的身体健康。”A项“为了身体健康老人应戒烟”并不是

LindaWaite的研究发现；C、D两项在文中找不到依据。

64.

5,Para.2)refersto.

A)thedisadvantagesofbeingmarried

B)theemotionalproblemsarisingfrommarriage

73

C)theresponsibilityoftakingcareofone'sfamily

D)theconquenceofabrokenmarriage

选择A项。

由问题中的关键词flipside找到此题的出题源——文章第二段。

flipside的字面意思是“反面，对立面”，第二段短语flipside

前面讲了两个例子来说明婚姻对老年人身体健康的积极意义（见63

题解析），后面用however一转，又给了两个研究发现：一、夫妻双

方当其中一个去世了，另一个在随后的几年内很可能生病或是离世；

二、一人在照顾其换有精神错乱疾病的配偶时可能后来也患有相同的

疾病。这两个发现显然都是夫妻生活的负面影响，因此选择A项。

65.

A)Theyhaveeffectssimilartothoofamarriage.

B)Theyhelpdeveloppeople'scommunityspirit.

C)Theyprovidetimelysupportforthoinneed.

D)Theyhelprelievepeopleoftheirlife'sburdens.

选择A项。

由问题中的关键词socialnetworks找到出题源——文章第二段最后

一句。由allkindsofsocialnetworkshavesimilareffects可

推断选择A项。很显然这里的similareffects指的是marriage’s

effects。文章的第三段提到了社交网络对一个人的种种益处，但并

未谈及B、C、D三项所陈述的内容。

66.

Whatcanbeinferredfromthelastparagraph?

A)It'simportantthatwedevelopasocialnetworkwhenyoung.

B)Tostayhealthy,oneshouldhaveapropersocialnetwork.

C)Gettingadivorcemeansriskingareducedlifespan.

74

D)Weshouldshareoursocialnetworkswitheachother.

选择B项。

题目问的是“由最后一段能推断出什么？”最后一段主要讲的是“要

想寿命长就要建立社交网络”。有意思的是Christakis的这句话

"Peopleareinterconnected,sotheirhealthis

interconnected."（人类是相互联系的群体，他们的健康也是如此）

仔细品味它的弦外之音，假如你的朋友个个身体欠佳，那么你身体也

不会好到哪里去。由此可推断出本题选B项。

【完型填空】

ut表示出版，公布，这里表示报告的公布。

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。

在这里表示截止到某时间为止。

t几乎，将近，对前面的解释，说明人口有多少。

oped根据上下文意思，以及后文相对的developing

world可知应该是发达国家，即：developedcountries。

h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。

eadto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。

ure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。

ces服务，城市为人们提供住房和服务。

介词选择，moveinto移入，迁入；固定搭配。

n表示推动，驱动，drivenby由…驱动，由什么原因

引起的。

h财富；socialdivisionanddifferencesinwealth

社会分化和财富上的差距。

75

s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。

d指扩张，expandintoruralareas扩张到农村地区。

muchfasterrate以更快的速度，固定搭配

n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。

majorcities，大城市，与后文中的smallercities

形成对比

趋势，这里是对前面情况的概括，atrendtoward

de-urbanization表示一种逆城市化的发展趋势。

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。

bilities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。（点击查看VOA原文>>）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/atafaster

rate，这都是比较容易选择的基础搭配。
