1.2021年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀模擬習(xí)題

　　People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten. If you lived in the Mediterranean, for instance, you would consider octopus a great delicacy. You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive. On the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat -- the normally accepted practice in many northern countries. The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.

　　No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail. Cooked in wine, snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world. There are countless people who, ever since their early years, have learned to associate snails with food. My friend, Robert, lives in a country where snails are despised. As his flat is in a large town, he has no garden of his own. For years he has been asking me to collectsnails from my garden and take them to him. The idea never appealed to me very much, but one day, after heavy shower, I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails taking a stroll on some of my prize plants. Acting on a sudden impulse, I collected several dozen, put them in a paper bag,and took them to Robert. Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased with my little gift. I left the bag in the hall and Robert and I went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hours. I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay to dinner. Snails would, of course, be the main dish. I did not fancy the idea and I reluctantly followed Robert out of the room. To our dismay, we saw that there were snails everywhere: they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall! I have never been able to look at a snail since then.

　　練習(xí)題：

　　Choose correct answers to the question:

　　1.The underlined word “repulsive” in Paragraph 1 most probably means“_____”.

　　A.disgusting B. pleasant C. acceptable D. delicious

　　2.We can infer from Paragraph 3 that when collecting the snails, the author____ .

　　A.was glad that he could share them with his friend

　　B.was angry because they might damage his beloved plants

　　C.was excited about being able to give his friend a surprise

　　D.was depressed because it was hard to catch them all

　　3.The author finds that snails _______ .

　　A. are as delicious as octopus

　　B. are disliked in his hometown

　　C.are the most controversial food

　　D. are as popular as fried potatoes

　　4.The best title for the passage might be “______”?

　　A.One Man’s Meat is Another Man’s Poison

　　B.Foods and Cultures

　　C.Snail and Octopus

　　D.People Are Illogical in Front of Delicacies

　　5.As indicated in the passage,people love different foods mainly because____

　　A.they live in different places.

　　B.they learn to eat certain foods in their families

　　C.they have different understanding of delicacy

　　D.they are too illogical to explain

　　1.[A] 詞義推斷題。解答本題的關(guān)鍵首先要理解repulsive前面的it是指上一句的octopus，由On the other hand可知第2句和第3句描述的是人們對(duì)章魚(yú)作為食物的兩種相反的反應(yīng)，而與a great delicacy相反的是A，故A為正確答案。

　　2.[B] 推理判斷題。在第2段中查找到作者有一天在陣雨后散步發(fā)現(xiàn)蝸牛爬在他那些prize plants上面，所以才突然有了去抓蝸牛的沖動(dòng)。理解prize在此意為“一流的，珍視的”，便可知作者當(dāng)時(shí)很生氣，由此可確定答案為B。

　　3.[C] 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考査復(fù)合句的理解。第2段第1句“No creature...more...than snails”表達(dá)的是高級(jí)概念，即：Snails have received most praise and abuse由此可知，蝸牛是具爭(zhēng)議性的食物，因此C就是該句的近義替換。作者沒(méi)有把蝸牛與章魚(yú)或炸土豆作比較，因此A和D不對(duì);文中提到在朋友的居住地，蝸牛

　　是沒(méi)人瞧得上的，但沒(méi)有提到在作者的家鄉(xiāng)是否受歡迎，因此B也不對(duì)。

　　4.[A] 主旨大意題。文章第1句話其實(shí)是全文的主題句，說(shuō)明人們對(duì)于選擇吃什么、不吃什么是沒(méi)有什么章法的，暗示了人們?cè)陲嬍撤矫嬗写笙鄰酵サ南埠�，接著用了�?shù)個(gè)具體例子說(shuō)明，并著重以蝸牛為例，闡明這種差異。英語(yǔ)習(xí)語(yǔ)“One man’s meat is another man’s poison”形象地表達(dá)了這一觀點(diǎn)。本題具干擾性的是B，文章在第1段談到飲食有差異，這涉及到了culture,但作者并沒(méi)花太多筆墨描述各國(guó)不同的文化，因此，culture并非本文的中心。另外，D的表達(dá)與文章第1句很相似，但是D說(shuō)的是人們?cè)诿朗趁媲皶?huì)喪失理智，與第1句的意思其實(shí)相差甚遠(yuǎn)，且并非文章要闡明的主題。

　　5.[B] 推理判斷題。本題考查表語(yǔ)從句的理解。從第1段的后一句中“most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods”可推斷B為不同的人喜好不同食物的主要原因。A具干擾性,它也是原因之一，但住在同一個(gè)地方的人也會(huì)有不同的飲食差異，所以還是因?yàn)榧彝サ脑�因所造成的�?

2.2021年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀模擬習(xí)題

　　On average, American kids ages 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school, eight hours more that they did in 1981. They also did more household work and participated in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet (芭蕾舞). Involvement in sports, in particular, rose almost 50% from 1981 to 1997: boys now spendan average of four hours a week playing sports; girls log hall that time. All in all, however, children’sleisure time dropped from 40% of the day in 1981 to 25%

　　“Children are affected by the same time crunch (危機(jī)) that affects their parents,” says Sandra Hofferth,who headed the recent study of children’s timetable. A chief reason, she says, is that more mothers are working outside the home. (Nevertheless, children in both double-income and “male breadwinner” householdsspent comparable amounts of time interacting with their parents 19 hours and 22 hours respectively. In contrast, children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers.)

　　All work and no play could make for some very messed-up kids. “Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself,” says T. Berry Brazelton, professor at Harvard Medical School Unstructured play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to negotiate their relationships withtheir peers, but kids ages 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaged in it.

　　The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing “free time” watching television. But that, believe it or not, was one of the findings parents might regard as good news. If they’re spending less time in front of the TV set, however, kids aren’t replacing it with reading. Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books, the children spent just over an hour a week reading. Let’s face it, who’s got the time?

　　練習(xí)題：

　　Choose correct answers to the question:

　　1. By mentioning “the same time crunch” (Line 1, Para. 2) Sandra Hofferth means ________.

　　A. children have little time to play with their parents

　　B. children are not taken good care of by their working parents

　　C. both parents and children suffer from lack of leisure time

　　D. both parents and children have trouble managing their time

　　2. According to the author, the reason given by Sandra Hofferth for the time crunch is ________.

　　A. quite convincing

　　B. partially true

　　C. totally groundless

　　D. rather confusing

　　3. According to the author a child develops better if ________.

　　A. he has plenty of time reading and studying

　　B. he is left to play with his peers in his own way

　　C. he has more time participating in school activities

　　D. he is free to interact with his working parents

　　4. The author is concerned about the fact that American kids ________.

　　A. are engaged in more and more structured activities

　　B. are increasingly neglected by their working mothers

　　C. are spending more and more time watching TV

　　D. are involved less and less in household work

　　5. We can infer from the passage that ________.

　　A. extracurricular activities promote children’s intelligence

　　B. most children will turn to reading with TV sets switched off

　　C. efforts to get kids interested in reading have been fruitful

　　D. most parents believe reading to be beneficial to children

　　1.[C] 語(yǔ)義理解題。該短語(yǔ)所在句子的上文(第1段后一句)表明“孩子的課余時(shí)間比以前少了”,而本句指出父母和孩子都受time crunch的影響，可見(jiàn)the same time crunch是指空閑時(shí)間不夠用，故C正確。

　　2.[B] 觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。第2段第2句中括號(hào)里的內(nèi)容表明了作者的觀點(diǎn)。轉(zhuǎn)折詞Nevertheless說(shuō)明作者的觀點(diǎn)跟上文Sandra Hofferth的看法不完全一致，而作者在下文舉例中提到，單身母親因?yàn)橐�上班，與孩子在起的時(shí)間只有9個(gè)小時(shí)，確實(shí)少了很多，這與Hofferth所述一致，因此選B。

　　3.[B] 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。第3段后一句表明孩子自由玩樂(lè)能促使他們獨(dú)立思考，并使他們學(xué)會(huì)處理與同齡關(guān)系，其中unstructured play 相當(dāng)于B中的play in his own way，故B正確。

　　4.[A] 觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。文章一開(kāi)頭作者就說(shuō)孩子們比1981年時(shí)上學(xué)的時(shí)間每周多8小時(shí)，他們還做更多的家務(wù),參加更多的有組織性的活動(dòng)等等,而這些均是造成孩子們空閑時(shí)間越來(lái)越少的原因，而孩子們空閑時(shí)間少也正是作者憂慮的問(wèn)題，故可推知本題選A。B是作者在第2段括號(hào)里反駁過(guò)的觀點(diǎn);C錯(cuò)在more and more time，而且作者對(duì)孩子看電視也不完全反對(duì);孩子們事實(shí)上要做更多家務(wù)，故D錯(cuò)。

　　5.[D] 推理判斷題。文章后一段倒數(shù)第2句說(shuō)“盡管父母費(fèi)盡心思培養(yǎng)孩子的讀書(shū)興趣，可孩子們一周也只不過(guò)花一個(gè)多小時(shí)讀書(shū)”。由此可見(jiàn),父母認(rèn)為讀書(shū)對(duì)孩子有好處，即D。A中的extracurricular activities包含 structured and unstructured activities，文中只說(shuō)unstructured activities有助于培養(yǎng)孩子獨(dú)立思考以及與同齡人交往的能力，沒(méi)有說(shuō)structured activities對(duì)intelligence有什么幫助;B與文章的倒數(shù)第3句不符;C與倒數(shù)第2句不符。

3.2021年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀模擬習(xí)題

　　There is no denying that students should learn something about how computers work, just as we expect them at least to understand that the internal-combustion engine(內(nèi)燃機(jī))has something to do with burning fuel, expanding gases and pistons (活塞)being driven. For people should have some basic idea of how the things that they use do what they do. Further, students might be helped by a course that considers the computer’s impact on society. But that is not what is meant by computer literacy. For computer literacy is not a formof literacy (讀寫(xiě)能力);it is a trade skill that should not be taught as a liberal art.

　　Learning how to use a computer and learning how to program one are two distinct activities. A case might be made that the competent citizens of tomorrow should free themselves from their fear of computers. But this is quite different from saying that all ought to know how to program one. Leave that to people who havechosen programming as a career. While programming can be lots of fun, and while our society needs some people who are experts at it, the same is true of auto repair and violin-making.

　　Learning how to use a computer is not that difficult, and it gets easier all the time as programs become more “user-friendly”. Let us assume that in the future everyone is going to have to know how to use a computer to be a competent citizen. What does the phrase learning to use a computer mean? It sounds like “l(fā)earning to drive a car", that is, it sounds as if there is some set of definite skills that, once acquired,enable one to use a computer.

　　In fact, "learning to use a computer" is much more like “l(fā)earning to play a game”,but learning the rulesof one game may not help you play a second game, whose rules may not be the same. There is no such a thingas teaching someone how to use a computer. One can only teach people to use this or that program and generally that is easily accomplished.

　　練習(xí)題：

　　Choose correct answers to the question:

　　1.To be the competent citizens of tomorrow, people should _______.

　　A. try to lay a solid foundation in computer science

　　B. be aware of how the things that they use do what they do

　　C. learn to use a computer by acquiring a certain set of skills

　　D. understand that programming a computer is more essential than repairing a car

　　2. In the second paragraph“auto repair”and“violin-making”are mentioned to show that _______ .

　　A. programming a computer is as interesting as making a violin

　　B. our society needs experts in different fields

　　C. violin making requires as much skill as computer programming

　　D. people who can use a computer don't necessarily have to know computer programming

　　3. Learning to use a computer is getting easier all the time because _______ .

　　A. programs are becoming less complicated

　　B. programs are designed to be convenient to users

　　C. programming is becoming easier and easier

　　D. programs are becoming readily available to computer users

　　4. According to the author,the phrase“l(fā)earning to use a computer”(Lines3,4,Para.3) means learning _______.

　　A. a set of rules B. the fundamentals of computer science

　　C. specific programs D. general principles of programming

　　5. The author's purpose in writing this passage is _______.

　　A. to stress the impact of the computer on society

　　B. to explain the concept of computer literacy

　　C. to illustrate the requirements for being competent citizens of tomorrow

　　D. to emphasize that computer programming is an interesting and challenging job

　　1.[C] 推理判斷題。第2段提到未來(lái)有能力的人應(yīng)該從恐懼中解脫出來(lái)，第3段則提到學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)算機(jī)則就像是“學(xué)開(kāi)車(chē)”一樣，只要掌握某套技能即可，故可知有能力的人只需要通過(guò)掌握技能學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)算機(jī)即可，而不必學(xué)習(xí)編程，故C正確。

　　2.[D] 詞義理解題。在第2段中，作者強(qiáng)調(diào)一般人只需學(xué)會(huì)使用計(jì)算機(jī)，而不必學(xué)會(huì)編程，后指出這與“汽車(chē)修理”和“小提琴制作”一樣，可見(jiàn)作者提到“汽車(chē)修理”(類(lèi)似一般人使用計(jì)算機(jī))和“小提琴創(chuàng)作”(數(shù)似于電 腦專(zhuān)業(yè)人員編程)還是為了說(shuō)明上文的觀點(diǎn)，故D正確。

　　3.[B] 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。第3段首句提到學(xué)習(xí)使用計(jì)算機(jī)越來(lái)越容易的原因是計(jì)算機(jī)編程變得更user-friendly, B中的convenient to users與此相符，故正確。

　　4.[C] 句意理解題。第4段指出教人學(xué)習(xí)使用計(jì)算機(jī)就是教人use this or that program，故C與此相符。

　　5.[B] 主旨大意題。本文圍繞學(xué)生應(yīng)如何學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)算機(jī)，闡述計(jì)算機(jī)能力(computer literacy)的概念;它只是一種技能,故B正確。A、C、D均只是利用文中的片言只語(yǔ)拼湊而成的干擾項(xiàng)，不足以概括文章大意。
