1、Whatisthebesttitleforthepassage?

A、ProfessorWalker'sResearch.

HowtoMakeBigMoney.

C>DifferencesBetweenScienceandArtsDegrees.

D、StudyingArtsHasNegativeFinancialOutcome.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：主旨大意題。本文為Walker教授的研究成果，旨在說明不同專業(yè)的

畢業(yè)生有不同的經(jīng)濟回農(nóng)，并非要傳授發(fā)財心得或者比較文理科的異同。文章首句

即為本題解題關(guān)鍵，故D正確。

2、Universitieschargestudentsaratherhightuitionmainlybecause.

A、theyprovidethestudentswithveryprosperoussubjectstolearn

B、theyassumethattheirgraduatescanearnmuchmorethantheyhadpaid

C、theydon'tgetfinancialsupportfromthegovemment

D、theyneedmuchrevenuetosupporttheeducationalexpenses

標準答案：B

知識點解析：事實細節(jié)題。定位至第3段第1句。本文只有這一句與收取學費有

關(guān)，后一個分句即前一個分句的理由，抓住其中隱含的因果關(guān)系就不難找到正確答

案。

3、Theword"lucrative"(Line1,Para.4)mostprobablymeans.

A^sensible

B、creative

C、profitable

D、reliable

標準答案：C

知識點解析：詞義理解題。通過下文數(shù)據(jù)earnings25%higher和get10—15%

extra,可以推測lucrative大意應(yīng)為“給人帶來豐厚收入的”。故選C。

4、Law,medicalandbusinessgraduatescouldearn25%morethan.

A、educationgraduates

B、artsgraduates

C、thosewhohadn'tstudiedattheuniversity

D、thenationalaverageincome

標準答案：c-

知識點解析：事實細節(jié)題。第4段中出現(xiàn)了幾個比較數(shù)字，考題要求找到此段首句

提到的收入增加25%的參照點。第2段第1句中的Gettingthroughuniversity表明

這類學生收人增加25%的參照對象是沒讀大學的人，且從第4段第3句中的the

list和第4句即可以確定這一段是在比較大學畢業(yè)與18歲畢業(yè)(即沒讀大學)收入的

不同，因此C正確。

5、Wecansafelyconcludethattheauthor.

A、regardsartsdegreesasmeaningless

B、findsthisresultdisappointingandunfair

C^wantsthestudentstothinktwicebeforetheydecidewhattolearnincollege

D、holdsthatartsdegreesarestillrewardingdespiteitsscarcefinancialreturns

標準答案：D

知識點解析：推理判斷題。結(jié)論往往出現(xiàn)在文章結(jié)尾，要想答對此題，一定要仔細

體會本文末句。本文雖然重點討論文科沒有經(jīng)濟效益，但是作者并沒有做出主觀判

斷，故A、B、C都不正確，而作者在文章最后講到了人文學科雖然經(jīng)濟效益不佳

但學習過程更有趣，故D符合作者意思。

6、Accordingtotheauthor'sopinion,schoolsarcbadbusinessesbecauseof.

A、mismanagement

B、toofewstudents

C、financialsqueeze

D、theircharacteristics

標準答案：D

知識點解析：事實細節(jié)題。本題考查因果關(guān)系。第2段倒數(shù)第3句中的“not

becauseof...butbecauseof..”指出了nalure就是原因所在，characlerislics是

nature的近義詞，故D正確。

7^Theauthorusedthephrase"gounder"inPara.3tomean"

A、getintodifficulties

B、havelowenrollment

C、havelittlemoney

D、bringinmoremoney

標準答案：A

知識點解析：詞義理解題。通過g。under所在句子中的Evenwiih..?可知，該

句與上一句形成對比，這兩句中的enroHment是相對應(yīng)的，所以gounder應(yīng)該也與

上文的problem相對應(yīng)，由此可推斷，gounder就是haveproblem/difficulty之

義。本題最具干擾性的是C,但文中并無細節(jié)具體說明即使入學人數(shù)滿額學校收入

也很少的問題，因此C把problem定義得過細，不如A恰當。

8、Wccanreasonablyconcludefromthispassagethattheauthormadeanappealtothe

publicinordertosupport.

A、publicinstitution

B、privateschools

C、uniformityofeducation

D、diversityofeducation

標準答案：B

知識點解析：推理判斷題，也是主旨大意題。文章一開頭就指出“許多私立高等學

校都處于危險之中”，引起讀者的關(guān)注，結(jié)尾句明確倡議支持公立高等教育的人們

應(yīng)該同樣支持私立高等教育，由此可見，B是本文的目的。本題最具干擾性的是

D,D的說法在最后一段中多次提到，但是作者提出辦學多樣性是為了說明私立教

育的重要性，故D只是本文主題（私立教育）的支持性細節(jié)，并非本文的中心話題。

9、WhichofthefollowingisNOTmentionedaboutprivateschools?

A、High-qualityprivateschoolsdeservetobesaved.

B、Ifthetuitionoftheprivateschoolsisraised,theenrollmentgoesdown.

C、Therearcmanycasestoshowthatpublicschoolsarcbetterthanprivateschools.

D、Privateschoolsaremoreprofitablethanpublicschools.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：事實細節(jié)題。可用排除法找出答案。A可從第1段推斷得出；B可在

第2段第3句中找到；C可從最后一段中間找到。

10、Whichofthefollowingwayscouldpossiblysaveprivateschools?

ANRaisingtuition.

B、Fullenrollment.

C^Nationalawarenessandsupport.

D^Reductionofrisingcosts.

標準答案：c

知識點。析：推理判斷題?？捎门懦ㄕ页龃鸢福鶕?jù)原文，第2段第3句可證明

A不可行；最后一段第3句證明B不可行；第2段第2句也指出D行不通。本文

的目的是為了提高公眾對私立教育的關(guān)注，由此可見，只有C是拯救私立高校的

可行性方法。

11、Thetrendtowardcasualdininghasresultedin.

A、bankruptcyoffinechinamanufacturers

B、shrinkingofthepotteryindustry

C^restructuringoflargeenterprises

D、economicrecessioninGreatBritain

標準答案：B

知識點解析：推理判斷題。首先依據(jù)題目中的casualdining找到第2段中的

informalityo其后有兩個f?！敢龑У慕樵~短語.后一個說“對于英國精致瓷器的制造

商來說，這(informality)意味著經(jīng)濟困難時期”；此外，第3段用數(shù)據(jù)具體指出陶瓷

業(yè)裁員之嚴重.說明陶瓷業(yè)在萎縮，即B。A、D均屬夸人事實，C與文章內(nèi)容無

關(guān)。

12^Whichofthefollowingmaybethebestreasonforcasualdining?

A、Familymembersneedmoretimetorelax.

B、Busyschedulesleavepeoplenotimeforformality.

C、Peoplewanttopracticeeconomyintimesofscarcity.

D、Youngpeoplewon'tfollowtheetiquetteoftheoldergeneration.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：事實細節(jié)題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第2段第2句中指出現(xiàn)今休閑文化流行的背

景：工作時間長，家庭生活節(jié)奏緊張，B中的Busyschedules與文U」的demanding

familyschedules對應(yīng)，故為答案。

13、ItcanbelearnedfromthepassagethatRoyalDoultonis.

A、aretailerofstainlesssteeltableware

B>adealerinstoneware

C^apotterychainstore

D^aproduceroffinechina

標準答案：D

知識點解析：事實細節(jié)題。RoyalDoulton在文章中出現(xiàn)過兩次：第3段說它裁

員，因為人們用餐越來越隨意（不再講究餐具的精致）：第4段中“Aspokesmanfor

RoyalDoultonadmittedthatthecompany...暗示公司的性質(zhì)，可以推斷它是精制

器皿的生產(chǎn)者。

14、1'hcmaincauseofthelayottsinthepotteryindustryis.

A、theincreasedvalueofthepound

theeconomicrecessioninAsia

C>thechangeinpeople'swayoflife

D、thefiercecompetitionathomeandabroad

標準答案：C

知識點解析：事實細節(jié)題。根據(jù)題目中的thelayoffs找到文章第4段首句，其中的

havetheirrootsin相當于題目中的maincauseis,shifts相當于C中的change<>其實

本題與第1題是交叉相關(guān)的，從第1題的題目可找到本題的答案。

15、Refinedtablemanners,thoughlesspopularthanbeforeincurrentsociallife,.

A、arestillamustoncertainoccasions

B、areboundtoreturnsoonerorlater

C、arestillbeingtaughtbyparentsathome

D、canhelpimprovepersonalrelationships

標準答案：A

知識點解析：事實細節(jié)題。根據(jù)最后一段，特別是第2句“Thefinepointsof

etiquette...mustbepickedupelsewhere良好的餐桌禮儀必須在其他地方被重拾起

來”.可知禮儀在某些場合還是必要的.故答案為A。

Inbringingupchildren,everyparentwatcheseagerlythechild'sacquisition（學會）of

16、Eagerlywatchingthechild'sacquisitionofnewskills.

A、canbeavoided

B、isuniversalamongparents

C、setsupdangerousstaresofworryinthechild

D、willmakehimloseinterestinlearningnewthings

標準答案：B

知識點解析：事實細節(jié)題。第1段第1句中的everyparent,oflen等詞表明這種做

法在父母中是非常普遍的，顯然B與之相符。A說法無原文依據(jù)，且由原文可看

出題干所述現(xiàn)象是很難避免的；C中dangerous一詞在原文中本是修飾其他情緒，

故C不符；D是過多地讓孩子自己一個獨處的后果，不是題干所述行為的后果。

17、Intheprocessofchildren'slearningnewskillsparents.

A、shouldencouragethemtoreadbeforetheyknowthemeaningofthewordstheyread

B、shouldnotexpecttoomuchofthem

C>shouldachieveabalancebetweenpushingthemtoohardandleavingthemontheir

own

D、shouldcreateasmanylearningopportunitiesaspossible

標準答案：c-

知識點解析：推理判斷題。第1段第2句說明父母逼得太過分，應(yīng)避免。坡后一句

則說明對小孩太放任自流同樣不利。由這兩點，我們可以做出如下判斷：父母對孩

子的“嚴，，和“松，，之間有一個恰當?shù)摹岸?C與之相符。

18、Thesecondparagraphmainlytellsusthat.

A、parentsshouldbestrictwiththeirchildren

B、parentalcontrolsreflectonlytheneedsofmeparentsandthevaluesofthe

community

C、parentalrestrictionsvary,andarenotalwaysenforcedforthebenefitofthechildren

alone

D、parentsvaryintheirstrictnesstowardstheirchildrenaccordingtothesituation

標準答案：C

知識點解析：事實細節(jié)題。文章第2段表明：不同的家長對孩子的管制程度不同；

家長對小孩的管制不僅是為了孩子個人的幸福，也反映了父母的需要以及社區(qū)的價

值觀，故C與原文相符。

19、Theword"precept"（Line3,Para.3）probablymeans"

A^idea

B、punishment

C、behavior

D^instruction

標準答案：D

知識點解析：詞義理解題。由precept所在句可猜測precepl應(yīng)與example相對，且

與下文的preach意思相近，故D正確。

20>Inmoralmatters,parentsshould.

A、observetherulesthemselves

B、beawareofthemarkeddifferencebetweenadultsandchildren

C、forbidthingswhichhavenofoundationinmorality

D、consistentlyensurethesecurityoftheirchildren

標準答案：A

知識點解析：推理判斷題。第3段提到父母應(yīng)該避免講一套做一套，結(jié)合最后一段

可得出結(jié)論：關(guān)于思想道德教育問題，父母應(yīng)以身作則，帶頭遵循，故A正確。

大學英語四級（閱讀）模擬試卷第2套

一、閱讀（常規(guī)閱讀理解）（本題共40題，每題1.0

分，共40分。）

E.recentlyF.solutionG.unchangedH.sufferI.conditionsJ.perspectiveK.impatientL.

valuableM.particularlyN.proceedO.payment

標準答案：G

知識點解析：此處應(yīng)為形容詞，表明continue的狀態(tài)。由本句的almost和下一句

的【heonlydifference可知這種情況幾乎沒有改變，只有unchanged最合適。

2、[2]

標準答案：B

知識點解析：此處應(yīng)為名詞。本句提到的induslriesandfamilybusinesses,hotels,

restaurants等都是小孩受雇的地方，由此可推斷空白處應(yīng)為employmento

3、[3]

標準答案：M

知識點解析：此處應(yīng)為副詞或形容詞。詞庫U」沒有符合本句句意的形容詞，因此答

案應(yīng)從副詞中尋找。作者在列舉了一系列小孩受雇的地方后，把farm放在最后是

為了強調(diào)，particularly就是答案。

4、[4]

標準答案：H

知識點解析：此處應(yīng)為動詞，可與from搭配。本文說的是童工問題，工作對童工

來說都是折磨，本句中的laborpractices和下一句中的areforcedto都暗示了這一

點，因此空白處應(yīng)為suffer。

5、[5]

標準答案：D

知識點解析：此處應(yīng)為形容詞，修飾work。從本句Although一詞形成的對比關(guān)系

可以推斷.空白處的形容詞與主句中的harmful應(yīng)為詞義色彩相反的單詞，詞庫中

只有l(wèi)ight既符合本句的句意，也符合本句要求的詞義色彩。

6、[6]

標準答案：E

知識點解析?：此處應(yīng)為副詞，作全句的狀語。木句表明童工的情況現(xiàn)在仍然存在于

亞洲，因此答案為recently。

7、[7]

標準答案：I

知識點解析：此處應(yīng)為名詞。本句中的overcrowded和unhealthy都表明童工的工

作條件，因此空白處應(yīng)為表明“條件”的名詞，即conditions。

8、[8]

標準答案：0

知識點解析：此處應(yīng)為名詞。從下一句提到的Thechildren...receivenothingnJ[Uffi

斷本句表明童工的工資時給了他們的父母或年長的親人，因此payment是本題答

案。

9、[9]

標準答案：F

知識點解析：此處應(yīng)為名詞。句中提到的bcttcrlaws,greatersupervision和heavier

fines等都表明這些是解決童工問題的方法，因此答案為solutiono

10、[10]

標準答案：L

知識點解析：此處應(yīng)為形容詞，修飾lime一詞。本句表明解決了童工問題，兒童

就能重獲美好的時光，因此空白處應(yīng)是一個積極意義的形容詞，詞庫中只有

valuable符合詞性、詞義與色彩的要求。

II、[11

標準答案：N

知識點解析：此處需要填一個評論性副詞。根據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)折語氣，在詞庫中的兩個副詞

中，fortunately比較合適，意為“所幸的是”。

12、[2]

標準答案：B

知識點解析：此處需要過去分詞，表示ice-cream所承受的動作，spill最合適，意

為“溢出,灑落”。

13、[3]

標準答案：A

知識點解析：此處需要及物動詞，且為原形，可以和compensation搭配。由此可

得出答案為claimoclaimcompensation意為"索賠

14、[4]

標準答案：F

知識點解析：此處需要名詞，并與pain并列，由此可知該詞表消極意義。根據(jù)其

后的定語從shehadsuffered,可確定答案為inconvenience（不便）。

15、[5]

標準答案：H

知識點解析：根據(jù)前半句的denied（否認），可知此處需要動詞的過去式，詞義應(yīng)該

與deny相反。由此可知答案為maintained,意為“堅持認為

16、[6]

標準答案：I

知識點解析：此空是在was后面，所以有兩種可能性，一種是填形容詞，另一種

是填動詞的被動態(tài)，即過去分詞形式。詞庫中的形容詞不能構(gòu)成be…tosth.結(jié)

構(gòu)，可排除。動詞的過去分詞形式中，只有entitl除符合條件。beentitledtosth.意

為“有……的權(quán)利”。

17、[7]

標準答案：K

知識點解析：根據(jù)didnot,可知此處需要動詞原形。it為形式主語，真實主語是后

面的由al從句，故此詞可以和il...山"1構(gòu)成搭配。而ilfollowsihiU意為“由此得

出結(jié)論....因而斷定....."，顯然follow最為合適。

18、[8]

標準答案：D

知識點解析：此處需填一個名詞，而且和judge有關(guān)，與makeoul形成搭配，顯然

case最為合適。makeoutacase意為“找到充分的理由

19、[9]

標準答案：C

知識點解析：此處需填一個名詞。he指的是上文提到的thejudge。法官一般需要

當事人提供的是“證據(jù)"，故用evidenceo

20、[10]

標準答案：J

知識點解析：根據(jù)didnot和from,可知此處需要不及物動詞原形。符合條件的動

詞原形有arise和derive,且都可以和from搭配。arisefrom意為"由...引起"，而

derivefrom意為“從...起源根據(jù)上下文，不難發(fā)現(xiàn)arise一詞比較合適。

21、[11

標準答案：K

知識點解析：此處需填不及物動詞，可以和up構(gòu)成詞組。上下文都在講經(jīng)濟發(fā)展

良好，所以該詞應(yīng)表積吸意義，詞庫中符合條件的詞是soared。soaredup意為，高

漲，劇增

22、[2]

標準答案：E

知識點解析：此處需要形容詞，與good并列修飾jobs。由此可知該詞與good一樣

表積極意義，可先排除temporary。詞庫中符合條件的形容詞有secure和

permanentosecure不能如此搭配，用法不對；permanenl較為合適，表明薪水高

的、穩(wěn)定持久的工作。

23、[3]

標準答案：A

知識點解析：此處需要及物動詞的過去式，作謂語。Even在這里有轉(zhuǎn)折之意，所

以根據(jù)主句中的謂語動詞acted（行動，表現(xiàn)）可知該動詞與言語行為有關(guān)，由此可

知announced一詞比較合適，意為“宣布

24、[4]

標準答案：0

知識點解析：此處需填可數(shù)名詞，能與ata一起連用。根據(jù)句首的Even,可知此

處應(yīng)該與前面的highersalesandprofils相反，由此很容易確定loss最為合適。ata

loss意為"萬損

25、[5]

標準答案：N

知識點解析：此空在were后面，且由副詞so修飾，所以有兩種可能性，一種是形

容詞，另一種是分詞。前文說到失業(yè)率下降，此處的形容詞是10U多萬工人自己離

職的原因，由此可確定該詞表消極意義。詞庫中的四個形容詞都不合適，而動詞的

過去分詞形式中，discouraged符合條件，意為“灰心的，喪氣的”。

26、[6]

標準答案：H

知識點解析：此空在were后面，且由副詞partially修飾，所以為形容詞或動詞過

去分詞。上文提至unemployment下降,聯(lián)素下文提到的self-employment,可知此

處指“就業(yè)”，由此可確定答案為employed。

27、[7]

標準答案：B

知識點解析：此處需填可數(shù)名詞。根據(jù)其后的ihat定語從句，顯然irend最為合

適，意為“趨勢，勢頭

28>[8]

標準答案：M

知識點解析：此處需要形容詞或動詞過去分詞。上下文都在說工作不穩(wěn)定，所以答

案顯然是secure（安全的。有安全感的）。

29、[9]

標準答案：F

知識點解析：此處需要副詞，修飾equalto…。比較詞庫中的兩個副詞virtually和

originally,顯然virluaHy比較合適，意思是“實際上，事實上”。

30、[10]

標準答案：D

知識點解析：此處需要填入形容詞。根據(jù)破折號后面對work的解釋，可知該詞表

消極意義。上下文都在說工作不穩(wěn)定，被裁員，所以可確定答案為temporary（臨時

的）。

31、【1】

標準答案：N

知識點解析：此處需要副詞作狀語，修飾動詞rise。根據(jù)其謂語動詞arc

beginning,可知steadily較合適。risesteadily意為"穩(wěn)步上升

32、[2]

標準答案：O

知識點解析：此處需要名詞作介詞of的賓語。根據(jù)下文的thewoman和her

husband,可知答案為households。

33、[3]

標準答案：F

知識點解析；此處需要形容詞作定語，且與and前面的executive,administrative形

成并列關(guān)系，因此答案為manageri
