广州新东方版：四级考试阅读部分答案和评析
新四级考试阅读部分包括三种题型：快速阅读、选词填空和单项选择。从文章选题而言，本次四级考试所选考的四篇文章分别涉及了互联网求职安全（快速阅读）、疼痛在医学上的新解释（选词填空）、如何写作和一位女科学家讲述科学界的性别歧视问题。本文分别就这三部分的题目进行深度点评。
第一部分 快速阅读
本次快速阅读的题目是Protect Your Privacy when Job-Hunting Online, 和2006年12月的新四级考试和官方的样题的形式一致，以小标题的形式对文章内容进行了意义上的划分，这样的划分对做题时回到原文定位有非常大的帮助。
文章讲述的内容是关于现今求职是常见的网上求职方式的安全性问题。利用互联网求职在当今非常普遍，但是也会带来一些潜在问题。文章讲述的便是“身份盗窃 Identity Theft”这一问题及其影响，以及用六个小标题分别提出了六点建议。文章内容的难度低于2006年6月的Highway一文，与12月Six Secrets of High Energy People基本一致。但从做题的难度上而言，要稍难于12月的考题。主要是在于第六题和第七题定位位置与原文顺序出现了错位，第六题出题点是在第六个小标题，即文章的最后一段；而第七题的定位点是在第三个小标题。此外，最后一题填空的定位点是回到了原文首段。另外一条较难定位找到原文出处的题目是第三题 Identity theft is a minor offence and its effect has been overestimated. 这道题目原文找不到minor offence和overestimated等词，实际上是对应原文第三段R.E.Smith的一句话中。
在做快速阅读的题目的时候，考生较难判断的是NG选项，本次快速阅读的NG选项出现在第五条题目，对应原文的第二个小标题，选项中关键词most strongly recommended在原文中并无出现，同时，找不到矛盾的内容，因而该选项为文章没有提及的选项。
部分考生在考试过程中还未真正掌握快速阅读做题的方法，一拿到文章就开始读文章内容，导致最后做题的时间不足。在做快速阅读题型时，还是应该先从选项中抽取关键词回原文进行定位，本次考试十道题中有八道题属于定位非常容易的题目，因此如果平时练习得当，掌握方法，本次快速阅读拿到7~8分应该问题不大。
关于快速阅读题型，还有一点需要提醒的是，如果剩下时间大概只有3分钟，应马上做快速阅读的填空部分，从历次的填空题型看，基本上没有太大的难度，属于送分题型。考生应在考场上重点把握这部分的分数。
文章标题：Protect your privacy when job-hunting online
参考答案
1 Y，根据人名Robert Ellis Smith定位在原文第三段, 可直接对应原文内容。
2 Y, 根据financial loss及restore reputation两组关键词对应原文第四段。
3 N, 对应原文第三段第一句话，Smith说identity theft is an absolute epidemic. 与选项中的minor offence及harm is overestimated内容矛盾。
4 Y, 对应原文第一个小标题Suggestion 1下第二段内容，直接对应，“如果找到工作后，不要把简历放在网上。”
5 NG, 对应原文第二个小标题Suggestion 2, 选项直接给出定位点，该建议包括三项内容，选项中most strongly recommended并无给出相关的对应信息，选NG。
6 N, 对应原文最后一段的第六个小标题，原文说公司不要求你在求职时提交银行帐号，社会保障号码等，与选项provide very personal information矛盾。
7 Y, 对应原文第三个小标题下第一段和第二段内容，网上求职不要用真名，用generic name。
8 unwelcome emails 对应第四个小标题，原文倒数第三段。
9 names and contact information 对应原文倒数倒数第二段，根据小标题定位容易。
10 economic gains，对应原文首段最后一句话“typically for economic gains.”
第二部分 选词填空
选词填空是阅读三种题型中同学们认为难度最高的一种题型。在旧的四级考试词汇与句子结构这一题型取消之后，四六级考试委员会便寄望于选词填空肩负起考察考生词汇量的任务。本次考试的选词填空文章选取的是一篇关于医学上关于如何看待疼痛的文章。考到的十五个单词中，较难的词汇包括prompting, magnificent, relieve三个，其余单词应该难度不大。所有的单词均在四级阅读历年的考试文章中出现过，因此在准备考试的过程中，可以把单词于阅读练习结合起来，把阅读过程中出现单词进行记忆即可。
参考答案：
47 complain
48 seriously
49 determining
50 range
51 specialize
52 issues
53 involves
54 result
55 limited
56 significant
备选词汇：relieved magnificent respect gravely promoting
第三部分 单项选择
本次四级考的两篇文章分别是关于如何进行写作和一位女科学家讲述科学界的性别歧视问题。A卷先考如何写作，B卷的顺序则相反。
第一篇文章是关于如何进行写作学习，介绍了一本叫Writing without teachers的书关于写作的方法，把写作分为了creative thinking和critical thinking两个阶段。后面的五条题目中一道是词汇题，考第一段最后一句“cannot work in parallel”的意思，其余四道题目均是细节题，其中第二题对应原文第二段，定位有一定的难度，题干中prevent from writing on与原文第二段第一句话single greatest barrier对应。第三题与原文第三段对应，讲的是free writing的目的是to get words down对应C选项to get one’s idea down。第四，五题是对应第四段。文章结构与新东方阅读教材上P72文章基本一致。
第二篇文章无论从文章内容和题目难度，均低于第一篇文章，讲的是一个女科学家在麻省理工读博士时遇到的歧视及随后心态所发生的变化。文章五道题目均是细节题，第一题对应原文首段，第二、三题对应原文第二段，第四、五题对应原文最后一段。所有的题干关键词与原文均是直接对应，其中难度最大当属第五题，对应最后一段的倒数第2句话： visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiment.“怀孕”(pregnant)一词对答案的选择起到决定性作用。但很多考生并不清楚该词的意思，导致无法做题。
注：A,B卷文章顺序不一样
57 (D) One can’t use them at the same time. 词汇题
58 (B) Attemptto edit as they write. 细节题
59 (C) To get one’s idea down. 细节题

真题解析
在新四级写作部分06年6月24日和12月连续考了两次论说文之后，07年6月23日再次考到了应用文之一：告示类应用文。这是自06年6月17日老四级最后一次考试之后第二次考到告示。在北京新东方学校四级写作和考研写作课堂上，我都详细讲解了告示类应用文的写作方法和注意事项，并且推荐了一篇经典范文希望大家背诵。6月16日，我的博客上贴出了07年6月四级写作十大必背范文的最后两篇，最后一篇就是一个告示（比赛通告）。只要大家认真听课或者背过这篇告示，今年的考题会比较好写。
值得注意的是，自2001年6月至2007年6月的六年之中，四级共有15次考试，其中9次考到了应用文，包括5封书信（3封严格意义上的书信、2篇书信的变体），2篇致辞和2篇告示。应用文的考题占到了四级写作题目的60％。2004年大学英语考试委员会明确声明：“以后的国内英语考试（包括四、六级、考研）侧重考查考生英语的实际运用能力”。应用文作为四、六级、考研的重点题型，希望大家引起高度重视。
2006年1月出版的《大学英语四级考试大纲》明确强调写作格式，格式写作将会扣分。告示的写作格式与书信不同。书信讲究称呼、正文、落款三种格式，而告示则包括标题、日期、正文、署名四种格式。
书信一般不写标题，告示必须写在首行正中央写上标题，今年标题已经给出：“Welcome to Our Club”。
书信一般无需写日期，告示最好写上（如果正文中交代清楚，不写亦可），写作标题右下方，不要空行。
告示的正文可写1－3段，针对四级写作三点提纲的特点，最好写成三段，每点提纲各写一段、详细展开即可。书信中开头结尾的套句如自我介绍、写作目的、表示感谢、期待回信等等，在告示中不能使用。告示的正文时态以现在时和将来时为主。
书信的落款是个人，但告示的署名可以是个人或单位，针对考题，应写为单位：某个社团，应写在答题卡中间偏右的位置。
另外，四级写作最好采用缩进式，段间不空行，每段首行缩进4－5个字母并对齐。
下面是根据我在课上讲过的一个告示改写的一篇范文。
参考范文：
一：

② 大学英语单项选择题,答案请详细
1.Painting in ____ is one of their spare-time activities.
A. oil B. an oil C. oils D.the oil
答：C
译：画油画是他们的业余活动之一。
析：首先楼主粗心将painting 打成了planting,一开始以为选项是soil 的变化，后一想不可能四个选项都笔误。后网络一搜索发现，原来是painting!
查oil: 4 oils [pl] paints made by mixing colouring matter in oil 油画颜料: paint in oils 画油画.
3.One of the most surprising things is that ____may come from petroleum.
A.much of tomorrow food B .many of tomorrow's food
C.much of the food of tomorrow D.much of tomorrow's food
答：D
译：最令人惊奇的一件事情是将来食物的大部分可能会从石油中提取出来。
析：food是不可数名词，不用many,排除B
tomorrow是名词，表示“未来的”可以用名词所有格，也可以用of所有格，排除A
此题设计有误。
查词典，知道，未来的世界可以说：the world of tomorrow《21世纪》
也可以说：tomorrow's world《牛津双解》
所以说CD都可以。不过以D为佳，因为C不够简洁，of用太多了。
③ 大学英语四级历年翻译真题及答案.12
A卷
中国父母教育孩子方式
题目：
中国父母往往过于关注孩子的学习，以至于不要他们帮忙做家务。他们对孩子的(唯一)要求就是努力学习，考得好，能上名牌大学。他们相信这是为孩子好，因为在中国这样(竞争)激烈的社会里，只有成绩好才能保证前途光明。中国父母还认为，如果孩子能在社会上(取得)大的.成就，父母就会受到尊敬。因此，他们愿意牺牲自己的时间、爱好和兴趣，为孩子(创造)更好的条件。
译文：
Chinese parents have frequently tended to pay too much attention to their children's study, so that children don’t help them do the housework. Their only requirement for their children is to study hard, perform well in the exams, and go to a famous/prestigious university. They believe it is good for their children, because in such a highly competitive society, only good results could ensure a promising future. Chinese parents also believe that parents will be honored if their children can achieve great success in society. Therefore, they are willing to sacrifice their own time, hobbies and interests, to create much better conditions for children.
B卷
外国人汉语演讲比赛
题目：
今年在长沙举行了一年一度的外国人汉语演讲比赛。这项比赛证明是促进中国世界其他地区文化交流的好方法。它为世界各地的年轻人提供了更好地了解中国的机会。来自87个国家共计126位选手聚集在湖南省省会参加了从7月6号到8月5号进行的半决赛和决赛。比赛并不是唯一的活动，选手们还有机会参观了中国其他地区的著名景点和历史名胜。

C卷
丽江古镇
题目：
云南省的丽江古镇是著名的旅游目的地之一。那里的生活节奏比大多数中国城市都要缓慢。丽江到处都是美丽的自然风光，众多的少数民族同胞提供了各式各样、丰富多彩的文化让游客体验。历史上，丽江还以“爱之城”而闻名。当地人中流传着许多关于因爱而生，为爱而死的故事。如今，在中外游客眼中，这个古镇被视为爱情和浪漫的天堂。
译文：
The ancient town of Lijiang in Yunnan province is one of the famous tourist destinations。 Its living rhythm is slower than that of most other Chinese cities。 Lijiang is full of natural beautiful sceneries， where numerous minority nationalities provide rich and varied cultures in order to give tourists a different experience。 Historically， Lijiang was also known as “ the city of love”。 Plenty of stories about living for love and dying for love have been spread among the natives。 Nowadays， the old town equals the paradise of love and romance in the eyes of Chinese and foreign tourists。

W: I want to send this package by first class mail. I'dalso like some stamps.
M: Do you want the mail insured?
Q: Where are the two speakers?
正确答案：B
解析：女士说：“我想以第一类邮件的方式寄这个包裹，另外我还想买几张邮票。”男士回答：“你的邮寄物品需要买保险吗?”可见对话发生在邮局，即B。介词“in/at+地点名词”构成标准的询问对话发生场所的场景题选项。解答这类题时，要留意对话双方的话，由关键词确定答案。本对话中，第一个说话人说的send this package byfirst class mail, stamps以及第二个说话人说的mail, insure，都是邮寄东西时常用的词汇。
16.
M: I thought that maybe we could go there for lunch today. That is, if you haven't promised togo with someone else.
W: That'd be wonderful, Joe. But I hope you're in a better mood than you were this morning.
Q: What does the woman mean?
正确答案：C
解析：男士提议说，女士如果没有约会的话，中午一起吃饭;女士表示赞同，说：“太好了。不过我希望你的心情已经比上午好了一些。”言下之意说，男士上午情绪不好，故C正确。“中but”题。女士的话That'd bewonderful... 是随口赞同说的客气话，并不表示女士很兴奋excited，据此排除A。but后面的内容才是重点，它表明男士上午情绪不佳，故选C，同时排除其他。

答案解析：
36. interview
解析：不定式to后面加原形动词。interview意为“对……进行面试”。
37. required
解析：此处是动词的过去分词作定语，修饰后面的名词，不要漏写结尾的ed。
38. place
解析：此处是名词位于形容词后，作表语。
39. retirements
解析：与前面的growth和后面的turnover属于并列关系，此处也需要名词，拼写时记得最后还有个表复数形式的s。
40. openings
解析：由前面修饰的片语thousands of可知此处需复数名词，opening表示“空缺”之义，不要漏写结尾的s。
41. illustrate
解析：此处应采用一般现在时，由于主语是复数名词，因此该词是原形动词。illustrate在此意为“说明”。拼写时注意中间有两个l。
42. correspond
解析：情态动词may后面，应是原形动词，该词与with搭配。correspond with在此处意为“与……一致。”拼写时注意中间有两个r。
43. contact
解析：片语have to后面接原形动词;根据上下文，该词很可能表示联络之义。
44. 标准答案：Their salaries are usually petitive and the chances for advancement are even stronger than those of a big firm
听音关键：salaries, petitive, chances for advancement, stronger than, big firm
答案重构：Their salaries are usually good and you will have stronger chances for advancement in these little panies
画龙点睛：此句听写只要抓住两层意思：小公司薪水也好而且晋升机会较大，按照听到的关键词把意思表达完整即可。
45. 标准答案：if you had climbed the more petitive ladder of a corporate giant
听音关键：had climbed, more petitive ladder, corporate giant
答案重构：if you had climbed the more petitive ladder of a big pany
画龙点睛：此句采用了虚拟语气，故从句要用过去完成时。结尾的a corporate giant，可用意思类似的a big pany替换，单词简单，也避免拼错。
46. 标准答案：In large firms it may take years to reach that level and accumulate similar experience
听音关键：large firms, take years, reach that level, accumulate, similar experience
答案重构：In big panies, if you want to be in that position and get similar experience, you may spend years of time
画龙点睛：原句是用it作形式主语，可根据句子含义，转换一下主语，换一种表达。

A. He is going to a business convention in town.
B. He is going to meet his clients.
C. He is going to deal with workplace accidents.
D. He is going to be interviewed for new employment.
答案解析：
Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
W: Hi. How can we help you today?
M: Yeah. I'd like to get my hair trimmed a little. Nothing fancy. Just a basic trim.
W: Well, can we interest you in today's special?
M: Um... No...
W: [19]We'll shampoo, cut, and style your hair for one unbelievable low price of $9.99. Plus, we'll give you a clean shave and a back massage to help you relax. Best service in town!
M: Okay, [20]I'll have the plete service today, but as I said before, I just want to get my hair trimmed. A little off the top and sides. That's all. I mean, that's all.
W: No problem. Relax. [21]You're in good hands. Okay, here we go. So, what do you do for a living?
M: I'm a lawyer, specializing in workplace accidents, and [22]I'm in town for an interview for a new job, and... Hey, what happened to my hair? And what's left of my hair turned purple. Are you even a licensed beautician?
W: Well, sir. We offer a money-back guarantee on all our work, so if you're not pletely satisfied...
M: Satisfied? I'm anything but satisfied. [22]How in the world am I supposed to go to a job interview looking like this? Forget it. Forget it.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What is one service NOT included in the special price at the beauty salon?
正确答案：B
解析：女士说，当日的特别优惠是以9.99美元的价格享受洗、剪、吹，外加剃须、背部 *** 。A、C、D均有提及;只有B修指甲不在服务范围内，故应选B。通读选项，知道这篇对话与理发有关。本题选项涉及相关服务专案，解答时要注意对话中提到哪些专案，以做相应标记。此外，修指甲不属于一般男士理发业务范围，根据“主题原则”，与主题无关的即为答案，直接选B。
20. Why does the man repeatedly say "That's all"?
正确答案：C
解析：男士的原话是：“今天就来整套服务吧。不过，……我只想把头发修一下。上面和两边都稍微修剪一点点就可以了……”这里的“That's all”表明男士不想要别的花样，只需要自己想要的服务，故C正确。根据男士说的“Okay, I'll have the plete service today”，可排除A甚至D全套服务所需的长时间与quickly矛盾;B无依据。
21. What does the beautician mean by "You're in good hands"?
正确答案：C
解析：女士说：“没问题，放松点，给你服务的是个好手。”所谓“好手”即是水平高的美容美发师，故C正确。本题问“You're in good hands”是什么意思 。像这种“短语含义题”，绝不能选其单词本义，由此可排除A;若头发状态良好，就不用来理发了，故B也可排除;D是利用原词relax设定的干扰项。
22. Why does the customer go to this beauty salon to improve his appearance?
正确答案：D
解析：男士先说，他到城里来面试一份新工作。随后又抱怨，“我这个样子怎么去面试?”可见男士来美容院理发是为了参加面试，故D正确。四个选项均以“He is going to”开头，差别在to后面的内容上。A、B未提到，可排除;男士说他是一个处理工伤事故的律师，C中的一般将来时态与对话内容不一致。

2017年12月大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案（4）
If the population of the earth goes on increasing at its present rate, there will eventually not be enough resources left to sustain life on the planet. By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on earth will make it necessary for lus to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.
Sagan believes that before the earth'毕衡s resources are compleetely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmophere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as earth itself. The difficult is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.
Sagan proposes that algae organisms that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time proce oxygen, should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus. As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere. In a fairly short time, the alge will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.
手山做When the algae have done theri work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but befor man can set foot on Venus it will be neccessary for the oxygen to proce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproced on Venus.
1. Inte long run, the most insoluble problem caused by population growth on earth will probably be the lack of ________.
a. food
b. oil
c. space
d. resources
2. Carl Sagan believes that Venus might be colonized from earth because ________
a. it might be possible to change its atmosphere
b. its atmosphere is the same as the earth's
c. there is a good supply of water on Venus
d. the days on Venus are long enough
3. On Venus there is a lot of ________.
a. water
b. carbon dioxide
c. carbon monoxide
d. oxygen
4. Algae are plants that can ________.
a. live in very hot temperatures
b. live in very cold temperatures
c. manufacture oxygen
d. all of the above
5. Man can land on Venus only when ________.
a. the algae have done their work
b. the atmosphere becomes cooler
c. thereis oxygen
d. it rains there

题目：The Internet Doesn’ t Hurt People - People Do: ‘The NewDigital Age’
整体评价：第一篇文章比第二篇文章难度略低。主要做题方法是根据关键词进行定位，而这个知识点是四级强化阅读课中反复提及的重点。前四题均是细节题，只需要根据关键词精确定位即可。而最后一题是推理题，需要综合归纳文中所提到的内容，难度较前四题略高。
文章：
The rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history,comparable in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph. Over two billionpeople worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and cancommunicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carryeverywhere. But the Internet’s tremendous impacts has only just begun.
“Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and politicaltransformations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fullyglobal,” Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book. The New Digital Age.
Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currentlylack Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the implications ofthe Internet revolution for indivials, governments, and institutions like the news media. But if thebook has one major shortcoming, it’s that authors don’t spend enough time applying a critical eyeto the role of Internet businesses in these weeping changes.
In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes - andmore importantly predicts - how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades. They painta picture of a world in which indivials, companies, institutions, and governments must deal withtwo realities, one physical, and one virtual.
At the core of the book is the idea that “technology is neutral, but people aren’t.” By using thisconcept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs.pessimist dichotomy(对立观点)that has characterized many recent debates about whether the riseof the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier this week,Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet,they’re also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion peoplecome online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance(监视).
In what way is the rise of the Internet similar to the invention of the printing press andthe telegraph？
A It transforms human history. C. It is adopted by all humanity.
B.It facilitates daily communication. D.It revolutions people’s thinking.
正确选项：根据题文同序的原则和题中的关键“the rise of the Internet”和“the invention of theprinting press and the telegraph”回到文中，定位到第一段的第一句。 The rise of the Internet hasbeen one of the most transformative developments in human history, comparable in impact to theinvention of the printing press and the telegraph.文中的comparable 是对similar to 的同义转述。第一句话是题干的同义改写，并且说明它们产生的影响是相同的，所以我们应该在文章的第二句来找一下它们产生的是什么影响。Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly moreinformation than ever before, and can communicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere. 根据第二句可知网络使得人们能获得更多信息，能进行及时的沟通，并且经常使用移动通信工具。可见网络的作用是使得人们的日常沟通更加顺畅。因此答案应选B.It facilitates daily communication.
错误选项：A It transforms human history. 它改变了人类的历史，而在文中的第一句只是说它是一种人类历史中充满变化的发展，而不是改变了人类的历史，范围过大。C It is adopted by allhumanity.被全人类所应用，all 过于绝对。D.It revolutions people’s thinking.没有提到变革了人们的思考方式。无中生有。
How do Schmidt and Cohen describe the effects of the Internet？
A They are immeasurable. C They are unpredictable.
B They are worldwide. D They are contaminating
正确选项：根据人名Schmidt and Cohen定位到第二段，问题问的是两人对网络的影响的描述，所以应重点看他们说的引号内的那句话。“Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the mostexciting social, cultural, and political transformations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change,this time the effects are fully global,”根据关键词effect，所以可以精确定位到这句话的后半句，thistime the effect are fully global。所以可见网络的影响是越来越全球化的的。回到选项中，只有B选项中的worldwide 是对global 的同义改写。所以答案是B They are worldwide.
错误选项：A immeasurable 无可估量的。C unpredictable 难以预测的。D contaminating 污染的。
In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequate?
A It fails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology.
B It fails to look into the social implications of the Internet.
C It lacks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businesses.
D It does not address the technical aspects of Internet communication.
正确选项：定位到第三段，重点去看书的不足。定位到第三句。But if the book has one majorshort-coming, it’s that the authors don’t spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role ofInternet businesses in these sweeping changes.可知书的不足之处是作者没有时间以一种批判的眼光来看待电子商务所扮演的角色。因此，四个选项中唯一提到Internet business的只有C选项。C 它缺乏对电子商务扮演的角色的客观评估。所以正确答案是 C It lacks an objective evaluation of therole of Internet businesses.
错误选项：A 它不能认识到网络科技的作用。B 它不能深入调查网络产生的社会影响。
D 它不能解决网络交流的技术性问题 均是无中生有。
59.What will the future be like when everybody gets online？
A People will be living in two different realities.
B People will have equal access to information.
C People don’t have to travel to see the world.
D People don’t have to communicate face to face.
正确选项：重点根据关键词future来进行解题。定位到第四段的第二句。They paint a paint of aworld in which indivials, companies, institutions, and governments must deal with two realities,one physical, and one virtual.They paint a paint of a world是题干中future的改写，所以后面提到的deal with two realities, one physical, and one virtual.They paint a paint of a world就是未来会出现的场景。而选项中只有A提到了two different realities。所以正确答案A People will be living in twodifferent realities.
错误选项：文中均无提及，无中生有。
What does the passage say about the authors of The New Digital Age?
A They leave many questions unanswered concerning the Internet.
B They are optimistic about the future of the Internet revolution.
C They have explored the unknown territories of the virtual world.
D They don’t take sides in analyzing the effects of the Internet.
正确选项：根据题文同序原则回到文中最后一段来找这本书的作者。定位到第二句话，By usingthis concept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs.pessimist dichotomy （对立观点）that has characterized many recent debates about whether therise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society.近期对于网络的兴起对社会来说最终是利还是弊的争论，大多是持乐观或悲观的对立观点，而本书的作者很好的绕开了这些对立的观点。第三句，In an interview with Time earlier this week ,Cohen said that although he and his co-author are certainly optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they’re also realistic about therisks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly withrespect to personal privacy and state surveillance(监视).最后一句中，介绍作者不仅提到了网络的好处，也提到了网络存在的风险和危险。所以答案应该指出作者是持一种中立态度的。而四个选项中，只有D选项提到作者们don’t take sides，没有站在任何一边，符合原文。所以正确答案：DThey don’t take sides in analyzing the effects of the Internet.
错误答案：A 他们留下很多关于网络的问题没有解答。无中生有。B 他们对网络变革的未来非常乐观。只有乐观过于片面。C 他们探索了虚拟世界中不为人知的领域，无中生有。
Passage Two
总体评价：这篇文章较第一篇难度略有提高，单词和长难句都有所增加。四级阅读强化班重点给大家讲解了在句子看不太懂的情况下如何把题做对，也就是抓中心话题的方法。希望同学们都能够运用在答题中。
In 1950, a young man would have found it much easier than it is today to get and keep a job inthe auto instry. And in that year the average autoworker could meet monthly mortgage(抵押贷款)payments on an average home with just 13.4 percent of his take-home pay. Today a similarmortgage would claim more than twice that share of his monthly eamings.
Other members of the autoworker’s family, however might be less inclined to tried the present forthe past. His retired parents would certainly have had less economic security back then. Through-out much of the 1960s,more than a quarter of men and women and women age 65 and olderlived below the poverty level, compared to less than 10 percent in 2010.
In most stales, his wife could not have taken out a loan or a card in her own name. In 42 states, ahomemaker had no legal claim on the earnings of her husband. And nowhere did a wife have legalprotection against family violence.
Most black workers would not want to return to a time when, on average they earned 40 percentless than their white counterparts(职位相当的人),white racially restrictive agreements largelyprevented them from buying into the suburban neighborhoods being built for white working -classfamilies.
Today, new problems have emerged in the process of resolving old ones, but the solution is not togo back to the past. Some people may long for an era when divorce was still hard to come by. Thespread of no -fault divorce has reced the bargaining power of whichever spouse is moreinterested in continuing the relationship. And the breakup of such marriages has caused pain formany families.
The growing diversity of family life comes with new possibilities as well as new challenges. Accordingto a recent poll, more than 80 percent of Americans believe that their current family is as close asthe one in which they grew up, or closer. Finding ways to imaginary golden age.
61 What do we learn about American autoworkers in 1950?
A.They had less job security than they do today.
B.It was not too difficult for them to buy a house.
C.Their earnings were worth twice as much as today.
D.They were better off than workers in other instries.
正确答案：根据关键词“American autoworkers”和1950进行定位，定位到第一段的第一、二句，In1950, a young man would have found it much easier than it is today to get and keep a job in theauto instry. And in that year the average autoworker could meet monthly mortgage(抵押贷款)payments on an average home with just 13.4 percent of his take-home pay. 第一句说明在1950，年轻人比现在容易在汽车行业找到并保持工作，而第二句说的是当时的房贷是工资的13.4%，综上两句说明在当时年轻人找工作和买房都是相对轻松的。提到工作和买房这两个话题的只有A和B，而只有B选项提到当时买房并不困难。所以正确答案：B.It was not too difficult for themto buy a house.
错误答案：A 和现在相比他们的工作较不稳定。而文中说的是当时比现在更稳固。与原文相反。C他们赚的钱是现在的两倍。这是根据第一段最后一句进行干扰。Today a similar mortgage wouldclaim more than twice that share of his monthly eamings.原文是指现在他们的住房贷款占工资的比例是1950年的两倍。D 他们比其他产业的要更好。没有提及和其他产业的比较。

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.
“Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated." Those were the words uttered by pioneering British scientist Rosalind Franklin, who firmly believed that the pursuit of science should be (26) to all.
As a woman working in the first half of the 20th century, Franklin’.s contributions to some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our time - including the structure of DNA - were sadly
(27) in her lifetime. One of my proudest moments in my role as universities and science minister was being able to go some way to redress this injustice last month, by unveiling the new Mars rover named after this brilliant British scientist.
Today, on International Women’ s Day, it is only right that we recognize the important work of female scientists like Franklin and seek to honour her memory by inspiring more women and girls to follow in her footsteps.
More than 60 years after Franklin’ s death, we are (28) living in a different world, where women play an important part in every echelon of our society-not least in science, innovation, higher ecation and research.
UK universities are world leaders when it comes to advancing and (29) gender equality. The Athena SWAN charter, initially established to improve the representation of women in scientific disciplines in higher ecation, now has 145 members. It has also expanded to promote gender equality in multiple disciplines-including the arts, social sciences, humanities, business and law.
In the past decade, we have seen a (30) increase in England in the number of women accepted on to full-time undergraate degrees in science, technology, engineering and maths (Stem subjects). And in the last academic year, women (31) for more than half of all Stem postgraates at UK universities. The government is taking further steps to improve women’ s representation in science and has today awarded nine inspiring women £50,000 to develop inventions to tackle the challenges and seize the opportunities we face as a society. From new materials to cut down on plastics pollution to special devices to improve posture and comfort for wheelchair users, these women are at the forefront of creating the new technology for tomorrow.
This is significant progress, but access to higher ecation is only half of the equation. To have real equality in the sector, we need to ensure talented women are able to progress into the academic and leadership roles they desire, and get the remuneration they deserve.
Data shows us the (32) to success gets harder for women to climb the further up they go.
Although women make up the majority of undergraates in our universities, just under half of academic staff are female. At (33) levels, only a quarter of professors are women, and black women make up less than 2% of all female academic staff.
I welcome the introction of pro-active strategies like the new initiative at the University of
Leicester, which I am visiting today, to increase the number of female professors by 1.5% each year,with the overall goal of having 30% professorships held by women by 2020.
There are also stark differences in pay across grades. The gender pay gap based on median salaries across the sector in 2016-17 was 13.7%, (34) there is still some way to go to ensure women are rising through the ranks to higher grade positions and being paid (35) .
答案:
26. A) accessible
27. J) overlooked
28. O) thankfully
29. K) promoting
30. E) considerable
31. B) accounted
32. G) ladder
33. L) senior
34. N) suggesting
35. D) appropriately

⑧ 求英语4级快速阅读 （选择题形式）题
Colleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid*Good grades and high testscores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid.But with low-incomestudents projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-boundpopulation in coming years, some schools are re-examing whether that aid,typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of preciousinstitutional dollars.George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last weekthat it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by aboutone-third and rece the number of recipients(接受者), pouringthe savings, about $2.5million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa.,made a similar decision three years ago.Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y.,says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aidrecipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will beawarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008.Not all colleges offermerit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to doso. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offergenerous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility (资格) have been willing to paywhatever they must for a big-name school.For small regionalcolleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an importantrevenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars overand above scholarship amount to keep the institution running.But for rankings-consciousschools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit topstudents and to improve their academic profiles. “They’re trying to buystudents,” says Skidmore Colllege economist Sandy Baum.Studies show merit aidalso tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enrollwithout it.“As we look to the future,we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,” says Monica Inzer,dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton,which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Report’s ranking ofthe best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17.Merit aid, which benefitedabout 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about $1milion a year, “served us well,” Inzer says, but “to be discounting the pricefor families that don’t need financial aid doesn’t feel right any more.”Need-based aid remains byfar the largest share of all student aid, which includes state, federal and institutionalgrants. But merit aid, offered primarily by schools and states, is growingfaster, both overall and at the institutional level.Between 1995-96 and2003-04, institutional merit aid alone increased 212%, compared with 47% forneed-based grants. At least 15 states also offer merit aid, typically in a bidto enroll top students in the state’s public institutions.But in recent years, agrowing chorus (异口同声) of critics has begunpressuring schools to drop the practice. Recent decisions by Hamilton and others may be “a sign thatpeople are starting to realize that there’s this destructive competition goingon.” says Baum, co-author of a recent CollegeReport that raises concerns about the role of institutional aid not based onneed.David Laird, president ofthe Minnesota PrivateCollege Council, says many of hisschools would like to rece their merit aid but fear that in doing so, theywould lose top students to their competitors.“No one can take one-sidedaction,” says Laird, who is exploring whether to seek an exemption (豁免) from federal anti-trust laws so member colleges can discuss howthey could jointly rece merit aid. “This is a merry-go-round that’s goingvery fast, and none of the institutions believe they can sustain the risks oftrying to breakaway by themselves.”A complicating factor isthat merit aid has become so popular with middle-income families, who don’tqualify for need-based aid, that many have come to depend on it. And, astuitions continue to increase, the line between merit and need blurs.That is one reason Allegheny Collegedoesn’t plan to drop merit aid entirely.“We still believe inrewarding superior achievements and know that these top students truly valuethe scholarship,” says Scott Friedhoff, Allegheny’s vice president forenrollment.Emory University in Atlanta, which boasts a$4.7 billion endowment (捐赠), meanwhile, is taking anotherapproach. This year, it announced it would eliminate loans for needy studentsand cap them for middle-income families. At the same time, it would expand its28-year-old merit program.“Yeah, we’re playing themerit game,” acknowledges Tom Lancaster, associate dean for undergraateecation. But it has its strong points, too, he says, “The fact of the matteris, it’s not just about the lowest-income people. It’s the average Americanmiddle-class family who’s being priced out of the market.”*A few words about merit-based aid:Merit-based aid is aidoffered to students who achieve excellence in a given area, and is generallyknown as academic, athletic and artistic merit scholarships.Academic meritscholarships are based on students’ grades, GPA and overall academicperformance ring high school. They are typically meant for students goingstraight to college right after high school. However, there are scholarshipsfor current college students with exceptional grades as well. These meritscholarships usually help students pay tuition bills, and they can be renewedeach year as long as the recipients continue to qualify. In some cases,students may need to be recommended by their school or a tearcher as part ofthe qualification process.Athletic meritscholarships are meant for student that excel(突出) in sportsof any kind, from football to track and field events. Recommendation for thesescholarships is required, since exceptional athletic performance has to berecognized by a coach or a referee (裁判). Applicants need to send in atape containing their best performance.Artistic meritscholarships require that applicants excel in a given artistic area. Thisgenerally includes any creative field such as art, design, fashion, music,dance or writing. Applying for artistic merit scholarships usually requiresthat students submit a portfolio （选辑） of some sort, whether thatincludes a collection of artwork, a recording of a musical performance or avideo of them dancing.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。1.
