大学英语四级模拟试卷205

一、作文(本题共7题,每题7.0分,共7分。)

1、Forthispari,youareallowed30minutestowriteALetterofCongratulations.You

shouldwriteatleast120words,andbaseyourcompositionontheoutline(givenin

Chinese)below:1.你的一个朋友考取研究生,向他/她表示祝贺。2.他/她的成功给

你的启示。3.邀请他/她来你校。

标准答案:June,26DearZhangMing,Ihavejustheardthegoodnewsthatyouhave

beenadmittedtotheGraduateSchoolofPekingUniversity.Congratulations!(1)Peking

Universityisoneofthetopuniversitiesinthecountry,soIthinkthecompetitiontoenter

theschoolmustbefierce,butyoufinallyachievedyourdream.Asafriend,Iamso

happyandsoproudofyou.Idoappreciateyourintelligence,workhard,determination

andpersistence.Asyoucanknownow,youhavesetagoodexampleforme.Iusednot

tohavesomuchconfidenceintryingthebestschools,butnow,atleast,yoursuccess

givesmehope.So,Ialsowouldliketosay"thank-you"toyoualongwith

"congratulations".Bytheway(2),ifyoucanarrangethetime,wouldyoucometomy

schoolforagathering?Ithinkitwillbegreatforustocelebratethissuccesstogetherand

mostimportantly,bothofusneedsomerelaxation!Iamlookingforwardtoyour

coming.(3)Sincerelyyours,

知识点解析:本文为贺信,应注意书信格式。另外,写信人和收信人是朋友关

系,因此,注意语言和内容安排上要能体现这种“朋友关系”。1.Ihavejustheard

thegoodnewsthat...Congratulations!为感谢信里常用表达。2.注意最后一段的内容

安排,符合朋友间的表达习惯。Byiheway为口语常见表达,但此信写给朋友,感

觉自然。3.结尾用“Iamlookingforwardto”而没用"Ilookforwardto",也是因为两

人的关系亲近决定的。Lookforwardto用在正式场合。

二、快速阅读理解(本题共10题,每题1.0分,共10

2、Thisarticletellsusseveraldifferentlovestoriesindifferentcountries.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案:B

知识点解析:考查文章主旨。本文开篇讲了爱的重要性,而后具体讲述不同国家的

习俗,并非讲述了不同国家发生的不同爱情故事。

3、ThemovieCasablancashowsuslovecangetridofone'sinnersadness.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案:B

知识点解析:根据文章第四段:…thefilmperfectlyillustrateswhatonlydie-hard

romanticswilladmitinpublic:loveisafeelingsostrongitcanaffectourlives

irrevocably.该句意为:这部电影表明了只有那些执著的浪漫主义者才会公开说的

一句话:爱是这样强烈的一种感情,它可以改变我们的生命。因此,“爱可以改变

人生/生命”才是该电影所昭示的,而不是“令人克服内心的忧郁”。

4、Nowadays,youngChinesetendtocelebratewesterndayoflove.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案:A

知识点解析:根据China部分:TodayfewpeoplecelebrateDengJie.YoungChinese

5、LoveinEnglandshouldbesimilartothatintheU.S.becausethetwocountriesshare

alotincommon.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案:C

知识点解析:文章介绍了美国的风俗,但未涉及到英国的风俗。因此关于两者的比

较也就无从谈起。

6、InThailand,thesuitorshouldbeverycarefulinthefirstdatewiththegirl.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案:A

知识点解析:在泰国,男子与女子第一次见面首先要看“信号”才能接近对方,另

外,他还要有人陪同,并且不能碰到对方。这些都可引向结论:Heshouldbevery

careful.

7、Portugalwomenusethehandkerchieftheyhaveembroideredasasymbolforlove.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案:A

知识点解析:在介绍葡萄牙风俗时提到手绢的作用:在绣手绢的过程中,女子将感

情转化到手绢中,送给男子。即亲手绣的手绢是爱情的象征。

8、Thedifferencesofshowingloveindicthowloveitselfisdifferentfromcultureto

culture.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案:C

知识点解析:全局题。文章虽然涉及到爱的重要性以及各个国家不同的风俗,但未

涉及到对爱的本质的讨论,因此,无法推出命题中•'表达爱的方式的差异表明了不

同文化中爱的本质的不同

9、Lovecanmakethosefortunatehumanbeings.

知识点解析:根据第四段:i【makesusdifferenlfromwhalwewereand,inihecase

ofthosemostfortunate,itmakesusbetterhumanbeings.

知识点解析:根据China部分:LoveinChinaisexpressedthroughgift-giving...<>

11、Agreetingcardcompanyreportsthatinrecentyearscardsareincreasing.

标准答案:friendsandrelatives

知识点解析:根据TheUnitedSlates部分:Hallmark,thegreeting-cardcompany,

reportsthatinrecentyears,therehasbeenamarkedincreaseinthenumberofcardssent

tofriendsandrelatives.注意题1=1与原文句式稍有不同,因此考生应注意解题的关

键在于从原文中提取信息。

46、[SI]

标准答案:B

知识点解析:空格处应二真入副词。空格所在句后面一句提到“itprovidesonlyasmall

fractionoftheenjoymentandenrichmentthatamoreknowledgeable

andexperiencewithmusiccanprovide.”此句是讲通过收音机学歌曲、听音乐

并且对一两种音乐熟悉的不足之处,因此,空格处所填词语应为贬义色彩。

superficially意为“肤浅地”,符合句意。

47、[S2]

标准答案:E

知识点解析:空格处应或入形容同。空格所在部分与后面的nothing形成比较:

betterthannothing,因此不难判断应选择limited。另外,该句主句中的“asmall

fraction”也与limited相对应。

48、[S3]

标准答案:G

知识点解析:空格处应录入形容词。空格部分与knowledgeable为并列关系,意义

应一致,另外,空格部分应与experience搭配。而且,knowledgeable前有more,

为比较级形式,空格处若为三个音节以上单词,则为形容词原级形式(因为前面有

more),但空格处为二个音节以下的单词,则为形容词比较级形式,和前面形成并

列。选择broader,满足意义、搭配以及用法要求。全句意为:尽管对音乐略为一

二胜于对音乐一无所知,但若想对音乐更为了解、更有体验的话,带给人的快乐和

充实感会强烈得多。音乐知识少的话,便只能体会出其中奥妙的很小一部分。

49、[S4]

标准答案:C

知识点解析:空格处需填入名词。空格所在句子为同位语从句,tha[后面的句子为

空格部分的实际内容,可以判断句子内容为assumption(假设)。

50、[S5]

标准答案:A

知识点解析:空格部分修饰well,只能是副词。选项中所剩副词为particularly,带

入句子后的意义和用法都成立。maybenotparticularlywell意为“或而不是非常熟

悉”。

51、[S6]

标准答案:F

知识点解析:空格部分位于介词by之后,需要填入名词性质的词语(名词或者动名

词或代词),另外,空格部分后出现介词t。,可以确定所选项与t。能形成有意义搭

配。选择comparing,意为“比较”。该句意为:我们可以拿不了解音乐和身处异国

文化作比较来回答缺乏音乐知识的弊端。”

52、[S7]

标准答案:H

知识点解析:空格部分与undersiand为并列关系,因此,应为动词原形且意义与

understand一致。appreciate意为“欣赏”,符合要求。appreciate还常用来表示“感

谢...in:Ireallyappreciateyourhelp.非常感谢你的帮助。

53、[S8]

标准答案:D

知识点解析:空格处需或入形容词。根据该句句意:如果这个人要想长期定居中

国,那么就非常有必要了解中国音乐。选择desirable,意为“值得要的”。

54、[S9]

标准答案:I

知识点解析:牢格处需填入名词。英文忌重复,空格部分实际为前面所述的

averageAmericanlivinginChinapermanently,这样的人可以被称作“immigrant”(移

民)。

55、[S10]

标准答案:N

知识点解析:空格处应填入动词过去分词。根据空格所在句前面一句中的“duller,

shallowerandlesssatisfying",可以判断此处应为reducedo选项中另一动词enhance

意为“提高”,显然不符合句意。

九、阅读(常规阅读理解)(本题共10题,每题1.0

theyneedoriginalideasfromemployeeshiredoverseas

C、theywanttoexpandtheirbusinessbeyondhomeborders

D^theyhavedifficultyfindingqualifiedpersonnelathome

标准答案:D

知识点解析:文章第一段指出“enhancedbychronic(长久的)personnelshortages",此

部分即为公司在境外招聘员工的原因,即长期以来,人力资源短缺使公司开始在境

外招聘。文章没有提及本国员工与国外员工哪一方更具才华,因此选项A不正

确;而选项B和C所述内容在文中未涉及。

57>Theauthorbelievesthatanindividualwhoappliestoworkoverseas.

A、isusuallycreativeandfullofinitiative

B、aimstoimprovehisforeignlanguageskills

C>isdissatisfiedwithhisownlifeathome

D、seekseitherhisownorhisChildren'sdevelopment

标准答案:D

知识点解析•:细节题。文章第二段讲了欲在境外寻找工作的人怀有各种不同的目

的。总的来讲,可概括成“寻求个人发展或孩子的发展

知识点解析:文章第三段指出“Thebestadviceistofindoutwhatisappropriate
