46._____________【题干】Themarketsalesoftoiletpaperhave

decreadbecau____.

【选项】

shavecuttheirspendingonit

ceshavegoneupovertheyear

lityhasenmarkedimprovement

shavedevelopedthehabitofsaving

【答案解析】根据题干关键词marketsales和toiletpaper可以定位至U首

段ShoppersintheUKarespendinglessmoneyontoiletpapertosavemoney

“xx的购物者减少卫生纸开支以省钱”和第三段首句Thishaswiped6%offthe

valueofthesofttissuepapermarket“这使得软棉纸市场

的价值下降了6%。has

wipedoff正好对应题干haveincread。This指代的是第二段的内容Penny-

pinchingUKconsumerschoocheaperproductsfromdiscounters“吝啬的xx

消费者从折扣商店选择更为便宜的商品”。

综上所述，选A“卫生纸市场销售额下降是因为xx人缩减这方面的开支”。

【答案】A

47.【题干】Whatdoestheauthorthinkofthefutureof

thetissuepapermarketintheUK?

【选项】

A」twillexpandintime.

remaingloomy.

C」twillexperieneeupsanddowns.

recoveraspopulationgrows.

2017年大学英语四级真题试卷及答案

【答案】B

【答案解析】根据题干关键词tissuepaper可以定位到第三段首句This

haswiped6%offthevalueofthesofttissuepapermarketintheUK.根据第三句

thefutureofthemarketlooksfar

fromrosy“市场的未来看起来远远不够乐观”。因此，本题选B“作

者认为绵纸市场的未来仍然是惨淡的”。

48.【题干】WhatdoesJackDuckettsayabouttoiletpaper?

【选项】

lofferswouldpromoteitssales.

ersareloyaltocertainbrands.

ousfeaturesaddmuchtotheprice.

ershaveavarietytochoofrom.

【答案】C

【答案解析】根据题干关键词JackDuckett可以定位到第五段的引用部

分。A“特价可以促进销售额”，原文引用处最后部分提到了specialoffer。

which指代的是theextrafeatures，也就是thowithflowerpatternsor

perfume。“这些额外的特点反映了

这些商品通常比普通的卫生纸要贵，即使是在特价销售的时候。”所以A是利用

原文细节信息设置的干扰选项，可以排除。B“消费者忠于

某些品牌”和D“消费者有多样化的选择”，引用处均未提及，直接排除。C

“奢侈品的特点大幅度提升了价位”，正好对应原文引用处which引导的非限定性

定语从句的内容。

49.【题干】WhatdowelearnaboutBritonsconcerningtoiletpaper?

【选项】

eparticularaboutthequalityoftoiletpaper.

phasizethestrengthoftoiletpaperthemost.

efercheaptoiletpapertorecycledtoiletpaper.

jectusingtoiletpaperwithunnecessaryfeatures.

【答案】A

【答案解析】根据题干关键词Britons和toiletpaper可以定位

至U第六段。根据原文theyremainfussy…whenitcomestopaperquality可

知，A选项正好是同义替换。如果不认识fussy“爱挑剔的”和beparticular

about“对…挑剔”，可以用排除法。依据自然段界定原则，48题定位到第五

段，50题定位到最后一段，所以本题定位到第六段。CD均不在定位范围，可以

2017年大学英语四级真题试卷及答案

直接排除。B“他们最强调的是卫生纸的强度”，由原文可知，最关注的应该是

softness，所以B

选项排除。采取这种方法也可以选出A。

50.【题干】Whatcanweinferfromthelastparagraph?

【选项】

dmoreBritonsbuyrecycledtoiletpapertoprotecttheen

vironment.

papermanufacturersarefacingagreatchallengeinpromotingits

sales.

papermanufacturerscompetewithoneanothertoimprove.

nmentalprotectionisnotmuchofaconcernwhen

Britonsbuytoiletpaper.

【答案】D

【答案解析】根据题干thelastparagraph可知答案要在最后一

段寻找。由原文“1/10的购买者把利用可循环纸制造的卫生卷纸列为首选，这突

出表明，相比环境，购买者更加关注商品质量的现象是多么普遍。”因此，我们

可以选出D“英国人购买卫生纸的时候，环境保护不是人们十分关心的。”

diedthesmokingpattemsofadultsmokers.

【答案】B

【参考解析】根据题干中专有名词Lindson-Hawley回文快速定位

到文章中的第一段，根据第一段的信息可得出Lindson-Hawley的母亲

曾经是一位吸烟者，第二段中她发现她的母亲有效地戒烟了，而且戒地很突然、

很彻底。根据第二段中的信息点，可以得出本题的正确选项应为BShe

succeededinquittingsmokingabruptly.（她突然成

功戒掉了烟瘾。）A、C、D选项在文中都没有提及，属于无中生有选项。

52.【题干】Whatkindofsupportdidsmokersreceivetoquitsmokingin

2017年大学英语四级真题试卷及答案

reencouragedbypshchologists.

reofferednicotinereplacements.

【答案】D

【参考解析】本题问的是“在Lindson-Hawley的研究中，吸烟者在戒烟的

过程中得到了哪些帮助？”，本题解题根据题文一致原则，可顺序定位至第三段

第四、五句话，提到两组志愿者在戒烟前除了使用nicotinereplacement（尼古丁

替代疗法）之外，还使用nicotine

patches尼古丁贴片（一种戒烟贴）。他们还在戒烟前后接受护士的

talktherapy（谈话治疗）。结合定位信息及四个选项的意思，可以确

定选项DTheywereofferednicotinereplacements.为本题的正确答案。

53.【题干】laFerreiraviewtheresultofLindson-

【选项】

A」tisidealized.

B」tisunexpected.

定位该题至文中第五段后半部分laFerreira的引语部分，其中她提至

合四个选项的意思，可以确定选项

CItincouraging.为原文的同义替换。

定本题在文xx的定位信息处为“AndIthinkpeopleethatforsmokingas

2017年大学英语四级真题试卷及答案

ink,‘well,ifIgraduallyreduce,

it'slikepractice'.”由此可以得知这些人的观点是逐步戒烟首先需要一些练

习，该题四个选项xxBneedssomepracticefirst.为文xx信息的同义替换。A、

CD选项在文xx都没有提及，属于无xx生有选项。

55.【题干】Whathappenswhenpeopletrytoquitsmokinggradually?

【选项】
