英語(yǔ)四級(jí)答案全解析
Correct spelling is a basic skill in English study. However, nowadays many students do not pay much attention to it.
They have their own reasons for misspelling. First of all, they like an easy way of studying, which causes some omissions and changes in spelling. Second, the teachers might not be very strict in students spelling. In China, teachers seem to be more concerned with grammar and vocabulary but not spelling.
To change this situation, in my opinion, the teachers and the students should work together. On one hand, the teachers should give more attention to students spelling, asking the students to be conscious of the importance of correct spelling from the very beginning of their English study. On the other hand, the students themselves are supposed to be aware that correct spelling is a must in English study.
To sum up, correct spelling is so important that both students and the teachers should spare no efforts to achieve correct spelling.
此次四級(jí)考試的作文題目為拼寫問(wèn)題應(yīng)引起關(guān)注。拼寫是同學(xué)們較為熟悉的問(wèn)題,在拿到題目時(shí)大家應(yīng)該不會(huì)感到陌生。但是由于選題較小,有同學(xué)可能會(huì)覺(jué)得這個(gè)題目比較難下筆,且題目中提到的是對(duì)忽視拼寫或是錯(cuò)誤拼寫出現(xiàn)的原因和對(duì)策分析,因此,在平時(shí)注意拼寫和不注意拼寫的同來(lái)看來(lái),感受可能不一樣。
其實(shí)在拿到題目時(shí),我們可以這樣來(lái)分析。對(duì)平時(shí)就不注意拼寫的同學(xué)來(lái)說(shuō),這個(gè)題目可能稍微更容易些,因?yàn)槟銈兒芮宄綍r(shí)不重視拼寫的原因,比如自身對(duì)拼寫重視不足,比如年輕人不愿意拘束于法則,再比如可能老師平時(shí)對(duì)拼寫的要求不如對(duì)語(yǔ)法的要求高等等。而對(duì)于平時(shí)以嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)態(tài)度對(duì)待拼寫問(wèn)題的同學(xué),你們可以考慮為什么自己重視拼寫,是不是因?yàn)樽约罕旧砭陀X(jué)得拼寫是英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)的最基本技能,同時(shí)老師平時(shí)也比較重視和督促呢?
因此,總的來(lái)看,對(duì)拼寫不重視的原因無(wú)外乎兩個(gè),一是自己本身認(rèn)識(shí)不足,重視不夠,二是老師可能也督促得較少。而要改變這種情況,就要老師和同學(xué)共同努力。這樣分析下來(lái),作文就不難寫了。需要注意的是,對(duì)策需和原因保持對(duì)應(yīng)。
寫四級(jí)作文一定要大而化之,不能拘束在細(xì)節(jié)上。比如這篇作文,你不需要在作文中舉出大量拼寫錯(cuò)誤的例子,這樣只會(huì)給自己增加麻煩。拿到作文題目,分析一下題目涉及到了那些方面,那么,原因和對(duì)策必然是和這幾方方面相關(guān)的。不要以為這是想當(dāng)然,這是符合唯物辯證法的。

由文中 I guess its pretty obvious what youll be doing most of today可知,很顯然她想讓他打掃房間。
14. A) The talks can be held any day except this Friday.
本題考查one day is as good as the next的意思,該短語(yǔ)指的是任何一天都行。因此男士的意思是除了本周五,其它任何一天都可以。
15. A) He understands the womans feelings.
文中男士認(rèn)為, Id feel that way too if I were you.,如果我是你的話我也會(huì)那樣。因此她贊同女士的想法,表示理解女士的感受。

從文中女士的話可得知,女士的母親執(zhí)意要David去參加圣誕party,因此她不得不請(qǐng)David。
17. C) Many students find Prof. Johnsons lectures boring.
由男士的話可得知,很多同學(xué)如果課前沒(méi)喝咖啡的話,幾乎很難保持清醒狀態(tài),忍不住犯困,也就是說(shuō)學(xué)生們都覺(jué)得Prof. Johnson的課很無(wú)聊。
18. D) Assemble a computer.
本文中主要是考assemble的意思,如果同學(xué)知道assemble意為組裝,裝配,便不難得出答案。put a computer together指組裝電腦。

由文中 I wrote to about six hotels and one of them gave me my first job可得出答案。
22. B) Paying attention to every detail.
由男士的回答 Attention to detail可得知,B選項(xiàng)恰好與attention to detail同義。
23. A) The pocket money British children get.
原題為 What is the table of figures about? 意思是:這個(gè)表格是關(guān)于什么的?根據(jù)第一句話Now youve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get? 我們可以知道這個(gè)表格是關(guān)于英國(guó)孩子的零花錢情況的。
24. C) It often rises higher than inflation.
原題為What do we learn from the conversation about British childrens pocket money? 意思是:從對(duì)話中我們可以了解到有關(guān)英國(guó)孩子零花錢的哪些信息?原文中女性說(shuō)話人說(shuō)Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation? 意思是:你覺(jué)得為什么零花錢通常要比通貨膨脹漲的更高呢?據(jù)此我們可以判斷英國(guó)孩子的零花錢比通貨膨脹漲的更高,答案應(yīng)選C.
25. B) Pay for small personal things.
原題為Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their pocket money? 對(duì)話中男性說(shuō)話人說(shuō)out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldnt expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.意思是我希望他們用零花錢去買一些小的個(gè)人物品,但我不希望他們把錢存起來(lái)去買他們自己的短襪等。據(jù)此我們可以判斷答案選B.
26 A) District managers
該題比較簡(jiǎn)單,文章開頭說(shuō)到Alex期盼著與district managers的會(huì)議,因此正確答案為A項(xiàng)。
27 D) The important part played by district managers
文章中提到在會(huì)議結(jié)束時(shí),Alex打算以the conversation about the importance of the district managers to the company plans來(lái)結(jié)束會(huì)議,可見他打算強(qiáng)調(diào)district managers在公司計(jì)劃中所起的重要作用。因此D項(xiàng)正確。
28 B) Fifty percent of them were female
此題比較簡(jiǎn)單,文章中后面說(shuō)道Half of our managers are women, 而參加會(huì)議的基本上都是那些district managers,由此可判斷,會(huì)議的聽眾有一半是女性,所以此題選B項(xiàng)。
29 B) He was not gender sensitive
文章最后一句說(shuō)這些女性district managers聽到Alex總用he來(lái)指代district managers感到surprised和distressed,由此可見Alex失敗的原因是由于他對(duì)于涉及到性別的用詞不夠敏感所造成的。
30 C) Ask to see the manager politely but firmly
此題比較簡(jiǎn)單,原文中提到在餐館遇到上錯(cuò)菜時(shí),應(yīng)該make a polite but firm request to see the manage,和C項(xiàng)所說(shuō)完全一致。
31 D) You cant tell how the person on the line is reacting
此題相對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單,答案基本上是原句,So you cant tell how the person on the line is reacting.
32 D) Stick to the point
此題屬于原文再現(xiàn),原文最后建議寫投訴信時(shí),應(yīng)當(dāng)be business-like and stick to the point,即圍繞自己的要點(diǎn)來(lái)說(shuō),而不要說(shuō)些無(wú)關(guān)緊要的廢話,因此應(yīng)該選D項(xiàng)。
33. B) Architect
從原文Before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government, designing government housing可以得知。
34. A) Do some volunteer work.
從原文If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week.可以得知。
35. C) A baby-sitter is no replacement for a mother.
從原文Tom does not think a baby-sitter can replace a mother可以得知。
section A
文章大意:本文關(guān)注的是綠色建筑與對(duì)待現(xiàn)存房屋的問(wèn)題。根據(jù)文意,所謂綠色建筑即為節(jié)能減排的建筑。綠色建筑在節(jié)能減排方面意義重大,但是將所有現(xiàn)存房屋替換成綠色建筑是否可行呢?文章給出的答案是不可行的,因?yàn)橥频惯@些房屋進(jìn)行重建也需要大量能量。那么,如何處理這些能耗大的舊房屋呢?文末給出的建議是對(duì)它們進(jìn)行整修和升級(jí)。
47. G incredibly
首先這里需要的是一個(gè)副詞。根據(jù)文意,將這些房屋推倒代之以綠色建筑是極度浪費(fèi)的。因此選incredibly.
48. K replace
replace A with B, 意思是用B 替換A. 這里是用綠色建筑取代現(xiàn)存房屋。
49. J reduced
這一句話較難理解,翻譯成中文即:綠色建筑帶來(lái)的碳排放量的減少平均需要65年才能夠補(bǔ)償推倒房屋所用掉的能量。reduced, 這里用作形容詞,指減少了的。
50. L sense
in the broadest sense, 在最廣義上,這里是一個(gè)固定搭配。
51. H powering
這里的and 引導(dǎo)的是平行結(jié)構(gòu),因此橫線上需要填入一個(gè)動(dòng)詞的ing形式。在根據(jù)句意可知這里選powering,指為某物提供動(dòng)力,使某物得以運(yùn)行。
52. D exceptions
聯(lián)系下文可知本段意思是老房子基本上是最不節(jié)能的。但話不能說(shuō)得這么絕對(duì),因此用 with some exceptions, 指除一些特殊情況外。
53. E expand
tiny cracks and gaps 指的是小的縫隙和缺口。小的縫隙和缺口隨著時(shí)間流逝,會(huì)擴(kuò)大,從而使得外面空氣流入,因而加大了能耗。這里選expand表示擴(kuò)展,增大。
54. O vast
a number of 表示大量的,number前面可加一些形容詞,如great等,表示數(shù)量極大的。這里填入vast,意為數(shù)量巨大的。
55. F historic
句中有fromto, 從什么到什么,聯(lián)系整句話,意思是從一些歷史上的古老建筑到你自己的戰(zhàn)后的房子。postwar 指二戰(zhàn)后,是一個(gè)較近的時(shí)間,與之對(duì)應(yīng)的則是historic.
56. I protect
首先,從句意判斷,可知這一分句仍是陳述為老房屋進(jìn)行升級(jí)的好處。此外,后半句中有介詞from. 據(jù)此我們可以判斷,此處應(yīng)填入的詞是protect.
57. C) Its ability to ward off disasters is incredible.
由文中首段their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book可得知,作者認(rèn)為黑匣子能抵御任何災(zāi)難,后面的something out of a comic book只是用來(lái)比喻黑匣子抵御災(zāi)難的巨大能力,與C選項(xiàng)不謀而合。ward off指避開,防止。
58. A) Data for analyzing the cause of the crash.
本文第二段介紹了黑匣子在對(duì)于探尋Yemeni airliner墜毀原因上所起到的重大作用。由第二段第二行the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong以及后面由于法國(guó)一潛艇找到黑匣子這一發(fā)現(xiàn)marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy可以推斷出答案。
59. C) The early models often got damaged in the crash.
文中第三自然段第三行,由Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned可得知,1965年黑匣子重新設(shè)計(jì)的原因是之前的黑匣子在墜機(jī)時(shí)容易遭到破壞。withstand意為承受,經(jīng)受。
60. C) To make them easily identifiable.
由文中得知黑匣子被漆成橙色或黃色的原因是 to aid visibility。Visibility是visible的名詞形式,意為能見度,可見度,因此,漆成橙色或黃色主要是因?yàn)橄M谙蛔涌梢姸雀?,比較明顯,容易被發(fā)現(xiàn),故選C。
61. A) There is still a good chance for their being recovered.
作者舉出Air France Flight 447的例子主要是用來(lái)證明其前面的論點(diǎn)When submerged, theyre also able to emit signals form depths of 20,000 ft.意為黑匣子即使被埋于深處仍然能夠發(fā)射信號(hào)以被察覺(jué)。Air France Flight 447的黑匣子處于水下深處,但數(shù)據(jù)顯示他們?nèi)阅躷urn up,即被探測(cè)人員發(fā)現(xiàn)。故選A。
62. B) It is based on the concept of positive thinking
細(xì)節(jié)理解題
本題是問(wèn)從文章第一段中我們能夠了解自我?guī)椭a(chǎn)業(yè)的哪些情況。文章第一句就說(shuō)自我?guī)椭a(chǎn)業(yè)是建立在把消極思考轉(zhuǎn)化為積極思考的基礎(chǔ)之上,因此B項(xiàng)是正確的。雖然文章一開始雖然說(shuō)自我?guī)椭a(chǎn)業(yè)的規(guī)模有110億美元,但這只是說(shuō)產(chǎn)業(yè)規(guī)模,并沒(méi)有提到該行業(yè)具有很高的利潤(rùn)率,因此不能由此判斷A項(xiàng)就是正確的。文章中只說(shuō)Norman Vincent是積極思考的倡導(dǎo)者,并沒(méi)有說(shuō)該行業(yè)是由他創(chuàng)立的,因此C項(xiàng)不正確。第一段末尾作者就質(zhì)疑積極思考是否真的有效,因此D項(xiàng)不是正確選項(xiàng)。
63. A) Encouraging positive thinking may do more harm than good
細(xì)節(jié)歸納題
本題問(wèn)加拿大研究學(xué)者的發(fā)現(xiàn)是什么,文章第二段提到他們發(fā)表的文章里說(shuō)讓人們更積極地思考實(shí)際上會(huì)產(chǎn)生相反的效果,只會(huì)起到強(qiáng)調(diào)人們又多不開心的作用。后面又用實(shí)驗(yàn)來(lái)說(shuō)明了這個(gè)觀點(diǎn),在文章的第三段和第五段也都再次說(shuō)到積極思考會(huì)起到相反作用,使人們更不開心。因此本題選A項(xiàng)。
64. B) You are pointing out the errors he has committed
細(xì)節(jié)理解題
本題問(wèn)作者說(shuō) youre just underlining his faults的含義是什么。underline his faults表面意思就是用線劃出某人的過(guò)失,也就是指出某人所犯的錯(cuò)誤,因此應(yīng)當(dāng)選B項(xiàng)。
65. C) Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem
細(xì)節(jié)理解題
本題問(wèn)從Wood的實(shí)驗(yàn)中我們可以了解些什么。此題與63題有一定關(guān)聯(lián)。答案應(yīng)在對(duì)實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果進(jìn)行分析說(shuō)明的段落來(lái)找,即文章的第五段。文章第五段說(shuō)實(shí)驗(yàn)者在被迫進(jìn)行多次自我肯定后,自卑的情況并沒(méi)有得到改善,反而加重了。因此此題應(yīng)該選C項(xiàng)。
66. B) Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy
細(xì)節(jié)理解題
本題問(wèn)從文章最后一段我們可以了解些什么,毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)答案自然是在文章最后一段。在這一段里,作者說(shuō)文章還推薦人們把靜思作為一種心理治療的方法,因此應(yīng)當(dāng)選B項(xiàng)。文章只是說(shuō)靜思可以幫助人們學(xué)會(huì)接受自己的不足,把自己的不足放到更廣泛的層面去思考,但并沒(méi)有說(shuō)靜思可以使人們避免犯錯(cuò)誤。因此D項(xiàng)不正確。
