y【解析】

47.答案：

【解析】：

根据上下文可以判断需要选择一个形容词来修饰risk，根据句子意思，需要选择lowest“最低的”，

句子的意思是：人人都知道怎么步行，并且步行受伤的风险最低。因此正确答案为。

48.答案：m

【解析】：

根据上下文可以判断需要选择一个形容词来修饰maximum，根据句子的意思，需要选择maximum

“最大的”，句子的意思是：为了从步行中获得最大的收益……。因此正确答案为m。

49.答案：ent

【解析】：

根据上下文可以判断需要选择一个名词来与important搭配，根据句意判断strengthtraining力量

训练应该是physicalactivity体育活动的一个组成部分，所以要用component“部分、成分”。因此正

确答案为ent。

in

【解析】：

根据上下文可以判断需要选择一个动词原型与build做并列成分，根据句意“力量训练的目的是为了

增强和____骨骼和肌肉质量”，所以选择maintain“维持”符合文意。因此正确答案为in。

51.答案：ng

【解析】：

根据上下文可以判断需要选择现在分词引导伴随状语，根据上一句“一般而言，你会想要每周做两到

三次力量训练”，而这么做会使你在训练之间有恢复期，所以选allowing“允许，使(可能)”符合文意。

因此正确答案为ng。

52.答案：singly

【解析】：

大学英语,四级考试,真题集,2014年四六级,语法,口语,试题,模拟试卷

根据上下文可以判断需要选择副词修饰形容词important，而根据句子的意思可以得知“随着年龄的

增长，柔韧性和平衡感训练愈发重要”，所以increasingly符合文意。因此正确答案为singly。

53.答案：ble

【解析】：

根据上下文可以判断需要选择形容词作为be动词are后面的表语，由上文可知经常性肌肉紧张和关

节僵硬，这些是可以通过运动避免的，所以avoidable“可避免的”符合文意。因此正确答案为ble。

54.答案：t

【解析】：

根据上下文可以判断需要选择动词原形，该句话中的the指代上文的“经常性肌肉紧张和关节僵硬”，

下文中提到“通过让肌肉更强壮和使关节润滑”，可知动词应该为prevent“预防，阻止”。因此正确答

案为t。

55.答案：ple

【解析】：

根据上下文可以判断需要选择名词与general“一般的，大体的”搭配，根据后文可知选择principle

“原则”。因此正确答案为ple。

56.答案：y

【解析】：

根据上下文可以判断需要选择副词来修饰动词stretch“伸展”，根据句意“只要身体保持某个姿势

有一定时间了，用反向的姿势稍微伸展一下身体是很有用的”。可知briefly“短暂地;简要地”符合文意。

因此正确答案为y。

注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

【总评】这是一篇讨论控制垃圾食品消费的议论文。文章介绍了Rand公司两位研究人员的建议：即

借鉴控酒措施的经验，对售卖此类食品的地点和方式进行控制。文中具体介绍了这么做的原因以及一些具

体条例。

大学英语,四级考试,真题集,2014年四六级,语法,口语,试题,模拟试卷

D)Itcausmoreharmthanisgenerallyrealized.

答案：ptationistoostrongforpeopletoresist.

【解析】推理题。由关键词Junkfood定位至文章第一段。由“'reeating

usknowwhatwe'redoingandyetwedoitanyway.(垃圾食品无处不

在，这样的食品我们吃得实在是太多了，我们大多数人都知道我们在做什么，但是我们还是在这么做)”可

知，垃圾食品对人们的诱惑实在是太强了，以至于人们无法抵挡。选项B中的“illreputation”在文中没

有提到，所以，正确答案为C。

theRandrearchersthinkofmanyofthepolicymeasurestocontrolobesity?

A)Theyshouldbeimplementedeffectively.

B)Theyprovidemisleadinginformation.

C)Theyarebadonwrongassumptions.

D)Theyhelppeoplemakerationalchoices.

答案：ebadonwrongassumptions.

【解析】推理题。由关键词policymeasures,obesity定位至文章第三段。文中提到“Manypolicy

measurestocontrolobesity(肥胖症)assumethatpeopleconsciouslyandrationallychoowhat

andhowmuchtheyeat(很多控制肥胖症的政策都是假定人们能够有意识、理智地选择吃什么、吃多少)”，

而第四段中进一步提到“Incontrast…manyregulationsthatdon'tassumepeoplemakerational

choiceshavebeensuccessfullyappliedtocontrolalcohol(那些没有假定人们会作出理智选择的规章

条例在控酒方面取得了成功)”。由此可以推知，很多控制肥胖症的政策措施都是基于错误的假设前提的，

所以，正确答案为C。

A)Fewpeopleareabletoresistalcohol’stemptations.

B)Therearealreadytoomanystoresllingalcohol.

C)Drinkingstrongalcoholcancausocialproblems.

D)Easyaccessleadstocustomers'over-consumption.

答案：cessleadstocustomers'over-consumption.

【解析】推理题。由关键词densityrestrictions，obesity定位至文章倒数第三段。由“The(即

densityrestrictions)makealcohollesasytogetandreducethenumberofpsychologicalcues

todrink.”可知，因为购买的途径很简单的话会导致消费者过度消费。所以要颁布这样一项限制措施，就

是为了减少人们购买酒类饮品的数量。所以，正确答案为D。

SectionBPassage2

【总评】本文为我们分析了柯达公司虽然看到了市场前景，但是并没有在战略上把握机会，等意识到

错误时，已经为时已晚，并最终走向衰败。对于一出生就接触各种数码产品的考生来说，柯达也许是个并

不熟悉的企业，这或许会对阅读带来一定影响。而且本文也有不少商务用语，如strategy(战略，策略)、

sponsorship(赞助)，及一些关键词如anticipate(预期、预计)等，难度并不算小。所以平时对于词汇的积

累是快速理解阅读内容的关键。

'sapproachingitsdownfall.

大学英语,四级考试,真题集,2014年四六级,语法,口语,试题,模拟试卷

【解析】细节题。从全文第一句中的bankruptcy(破产)以及第二段第一句Althoughmanyattribute

Kodak'sdownfallto"complacency"...可知柯达已经衰落了。所以正确答案为B。

根据第全文第一句…asad,thoughnotunexpectedturningpoint…可知柯达的衰败，是早有预

期的，而不是突然的，排除答案bankruptallofasudden;

根据第一段最后一句...butultimatelyfailedtoadapttothedigitalrevolution可知柯达最终没有

适应数字革命，排除答案iatedthedigitalrevolutioninthefilmindustry;

根据第一段内容，dominate用的是过去分词形式，即柯达在胶卷市场占主导地位是过去的事实，而

非现今，排除答案ayingthedominantroleinthefilmmarket.

itarlyattempttoreinventitlf.

【解析】推理题。柯达发明第一台数码相机的例子出现在第二段，该段一开始指出很多人将柯达的衰

败归结于柯达的自满，但是这个解释并没有承认柯达在自我改造上做出的努力。接下来作者用柯达发明了

第一台数码相机来例证柯达在reinvent上的尝试。所以正确答案为A。

答案itsquickadaptationtothedigitalrevolution.与第一段最后一句ultimately

failedtoadapttothedigitalrevolution.相冲突，且发明了第一台数码相机并不足以说明其顺应了数码

革命。

edeeplystuckintheirgloriouspast.

【解析】细节题。根据题干关键词largecompanies和switch定位到第四段最后一句Large

companieshaveadifficulttimeswitchingtonewmarketsbecauthereisatemptationtoput

existingastsintothenewbusiness.根据此句可知，大公司不能进入新市场的原因是他们在开创

新业务的过程中，依然不愿放弃现有的优势。接来下第五段用柯达的事例继续阐释了这句话的含义，即too

rootedinthesuccessofthepastforittomakethecleanbreaknecessarytofullyembracethe

future，沉溺于过去的辉煌，而不能完全拥抱未来。所以正确答案为edeeplystuckintheir

gloriouspast.

n.

【解析】细节题。根据第五段最后一句话ir

historyhasbecomealiability.可知柯达的历史已成自身发展的负担。burden是对liability的同义转换。

所以正确答案为A。

usaltosponsorthe1984Olympics.

【解析】细节题。最后一段第一句说柯达在过去几十年间的衰败是戏剧性的。之后通过一个个例子来

举例说明。从文中Kodak’sdecisionnottopursuetheroleofofficialfilmforthe1984LosAngeles

Olympicswasamajormiscalculation.可知柯达犯的主要错误是没有赞助1984年的奥林匹克。而对手

富士拿到了竞标，并由此赢得了市场上的永久立足点。所以正确答案为C。

点评：本篇完形填空摘自Read’sDigest，再次体现了四六级考试频繁使用外刊素材的特点。

本篇文章主要讲述了睡午觉的好处。不管你是否觉得有睡午觉的必要，养成这样的习惯可以让你有效

对抗下午的困顿。但是，睡午觉也未必适合每个人。如果你本身已经有失眠的问题，睡午觉会让你晚上更

难入睡。

除了通过上下文理解才能得出答案的题目之外，仍然考察了一些语法点。比如第69题，A2008British

studyfoundthatcomparedtogettingmorenighttimesleep,amid-daynapwasthebestwayto

cope__69___themid-afternoonsleepiness.这里明显考察的就是词组copewith.表示处理、应对。

再比如第73题，Andmostincredibly,a2007studyofnearly24,000Greekadultsinthe

ArchivesofInternalMedicinefoundthatpeoplewhonappedregularlyhada37%reducedrisk

ofdying__73__heartdia……这里也非常明显的考察了词组diefrom

同时也考察了对动词词义的辨析。例如第77题，A20-minutenapwillboostalertnessand

concentration;a90-minutesnoozewill__77___creativity.

选项包括了enlarge,engage,enhance和enlighten.根据前半句话的含义可知，20分钟午睡可以

提高专注度，那么90分钟的午睡就更应该对创造力有益了。通过对4个选项的分析，只有enhance能够

表达这个意思。此处除了要搞清楚4个选项本身的含义外，还要注意运用上下文来进行最终判断。

总体来说，整篇文章难度并不大，也没有出现过于生僻的表述方式。只要能够清楚辨析选项，熟悉搭

配，并且充分理解上下文，就能够顺利完成本篇完形填空。
