1、Whatisthebesttitleforthepassage?

A、ProfessorWalker'sResearch.

HowtoMakeBigMoney.

C>DifferencesBetweenScienceandArtsDegrees.

D、StudyingArtsHasNegativeFinancialOutcome.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：主旨大意题。本文为Walker教授的研究成果，旨在说明不同专业的

毕业生有不同的经济回农，并非要传授发财心得或者比较文理科的异同。文章首句

即为本题解题关键，故D正确。

2、Universitieschargestudentsaratherhightuitionmainlybecause.

A、theyprovidethestudentswithveryprosperoussubjectstolearn

B、theyassumethattheirgraduatescanearnmuchmorethantheyhadpaid

C、theydon'tgetfinancialsupportfromthegovemment

D、theyneedmuchrevenuetosupporttheeducationalexpenses

标准答案：B

知识点解析：事实细节题。定位至第3段第1句。本文只有这一句与收取学费有

关，后一个分句即前一个分句的理由，抓住其中隐含的因果关系就不难找到正确答

案。

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

A^sensible

B、creative

C、profitable

D、reliable

标准答案：C

知识点解析：词义理解题。通过下文数据earnings25%higher和get10—15%

extra,可以推测lucrative大意应为“给人带来丰厚收入的”。故选C。

4、Law,medicalandbusinessgraduatescouldearn25%morethan.

A、educationgraduates

B、artsgraduates

C、thosewhohadn'tstudiedattheuniversity

D、thenationalaverageincome

标准答案：c-

知识点解析：事实细节题。第4段中出现了几个比较数字，考题要求找到此段首句

提到的收入增加25%的参照点。第2段第1句中的Gettingthroughuniversity表明

这类学生收人增加25%的参照对象是没读大学的人，且从第4段第3句中的the

list和第4句即可以确定这一段是在比较大学毕业与18岁毕业(即没读大学)收入的

不同，因此C正确。

5、Wecansafelyconcludethattheauthor.

A、regardsartsdegreesasmeaningless

B、findsthisresultdisappointingandunfair

C^wantsthestudentstothinktwicebeforetheydecidewhattolearnincollege

D、holdsthatartsdegreesarestillrewardingdespiteitsscarcefinancialreturns

标准答案：D

知识点解析：推理判断题。结论往往出现在文章结尾，要想答对此题，一定要仔细

体会本文末句。本文虽然重点讨论文科没有经济效益，但是作者并没有做出主观判

断，故A、B、C都不正确，而作者在文章最后讲到了人文学科虽然经济效益不佳

但学习过程更有趣，故D符合作者意思。

6、Accordingtotheauthor'sopinion,schoolsarcbadbusinessesbecauseof.

A、mismanagement

B、toofewstudents

C、financialsqueeze

D、theircharacteristics

标准答案：D

知识点解析：事实细节题。本题考查因果关系。第2段倒数第3句中的“not

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

nature的近义词，故D正确。

7^Theauthorusedthephrase"gounder"inPara.3tomean"

A、getintodifficulties

B、havelowenrollment

C、havelittlemoney

D、bringinmoremoney

标准答案：A

知识点解析：词义理解题。通过g。under所在句子中的Evenwiih..・可知，该

句与上一句形成对比，这两句中的enroHment是相对应的，所以gounder应该也与

上文的problem相对应，由此可推断，gounder就是haveproblem/difficulty之

义。本题最具干扰性的是C,但文中并无细节具体说明即使入学人数满额学校收入

也很少的问题，因此C把problem定义得过细，不如A恰当。

8、Wccanreasonablyconcludefromthispassagethattheauthormadeanappealtothe

publicinordertosupport.

A、publicinstitution

B、privateschools

C、uniformityofeducation

D、diversityofeducation

标准答案：B

知识点解析：推理判断题，也是主旨大意题。文章一开头就指出“许多私立高等学

校都处于危险之中”，引起读者的关注，结尾句明确倡议支持公立高等教育的人们

应该同样支持私立高等教育，由此可见，B是本文的目的。本题最具干扰性的是

D,D的说法在最后一段中多次提到，但是作者提出办学多样性是为了说明私立教

育的重要性，故D只是本文主题（私立教育）的支持性细节，并非本文的中心话题。

9、WhichofthefollowingisNOTmentionedaboutprivateschools?

A、High-qualityprivateschoolsdeservetobesaved.

B、Ifthetuitionoftheprivateschoolsisraised,theenrollmentgoesdown.

C、Therearcmanycasestoshowthatpublicschoolsarcbetterthanprivateschools.

D、Privateschoolsaremoreprofitablethanpublicschools.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：事实细节题。可用排除法找出答案。A可从第1段推断得出；B可在

第2段第3句中找到；C可从最后一段中间找到。

10、Whichofthefollowingwayscouldpossiblysaveprivateschools?

ANRaisingtuition.

B、Fullenrollment.

C^Nationalawarenessandsupport.

D^Reductionofrisingcosts.

标准答案：c

知识点。析：推理判断题。可用排除法找出答案，根据原文，第2段第3句可证明

A不可行；最后一段第3句证明B不可行；第2段第2句也指出D行不通。本文

的目的是为了提高公众对私立教育的关注，由此可见，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

标准答案：B

知识点解析：推理判断题。首先依据题目中的casualdining找到第2段中的

informalityo其后有两个f。「引导的介词短语.后一个说“对于英国精致瓷器的制造

商来说，这(informality)意味着经济困难时期”；此外，第3段用数据具体指出陶瓷

业裁员之严重.说明陶瓷业在萎缩，即B。A、D均属夸人事实，C与文章内容无

关。

12^Whichofthefollowingmaybethebestreasonforcasualdining?

A、Familymembersneedmoretimetorelax.

B、Busyschedulesleavepeoplenotimeforformality.

C、Peoplewanttopracticeeconomyintimesofscarcity.

D、Youngpeoplewon'tfollowtheetiquetteoftheoldergeneration.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：事实细节题。根据倒数第2段第2句中指出现今休闲文化流行的背

景：工作时间长，家庭生活节奏紧张，B中的Busyschedules与文U」的demanding

familyschedules对应，故为答案。

13、ItcanbelearnedfromthepassagethatRoyalDoultonis.

A、aretailerofstainlesssteeltableware

B>adealerinstoneware

C^apotterychainstore

D^aproduceroffinechina

标准答案：D

知识点解析：事实细节题。RoyalDoulton在文章中出现过两次：第3段说它裁

员，因为人们用餐越来越随意（不再讲究餐具的精致）：第4段中“Aspokesmanfor

RoyalDoultonadmittedthatthecompany...暗示公司的性质，可以推断它是精制

器皿的生产者。

14、1'hcmaincauseofthelayottsinthepotteryindustryis.

A、theincreasedvalueofthepound

theeconomicrecessioninAsia

C>thechangeinpeople'swayoflife

D、thefiercecompetitionathomeandabroad

标准答案：C

知识点解析：事实细节题。根据题目中的thelayoffs找到文章第4段首句，其中的

havetheirrootsin相当于题目中的maincauseis,shifts相当于C中的change<>其实

本题与第1题是交叉相关的，从第1题的题目可找到本题的答案。

15、Refinedtablemanners,thoughlesspopularthanbeforeincurrentsociallife,.

A、arestillamustoncertainoccasions

B、areboundtoreturnsoonerorlater

C、arestillbeingtaughtbyparentsathome

D、canhelpimprovepersonalrelationships

标准答案：A

知识点解析：事实细节题。根据最后一段，特别是第2句“Thefinepointsof

etiquette...mustbepickedupelsewhere良好的餐桌礼仪必须在其他地方被重拾起

来”.可知礼仪在某些场合还是必要的.故答案为A。

16、Eagerlywatchingthechild'sacquisitionofnewskills.

A、canbeavoided

B、isuniversalamongparents

C、setsupdangerousstaresofworryinthechild

D、willmakehimloseinterestinlearningnewthings

标准答案：B

知识点解析：事实细节题。第1段第1句中的everyparent,oflen等词表明这种做

法在父母中是非常普遍的，显然B与之相符。A说法无原文依据，且由原文可看

出题干所述现象是很难避免的；C中dangerous一词在原文中本是修饰其他情绪，

故C不符；D是过多地让孩子自己一个独处的后果，不是题干所述行为的后果。

17、Intheprocessofchildren'slearningnewskillsparents.

A、shouldencouragethemtoreadbeforetheyknowthemeaningofthewordstheyread

B、shouldnotexpecttoomuchofthem

C>shouldachieveabalancebetweenpushingthemtoohardandleavingthemontheir

own

D、shouldcreateasmanylearningopportunitiesaspossible

标准答案：c-

知识点解析：推理判断题。第1段第2句说明父母逼得太过分，应避免。坡后一句

则说明对小孩太放任自流同样不利。由这两点，我们可以做出如下判断：父母对孩

子的“严，，和“松，，之间有一个恰当的“度:C与之相符。

18、Thesecondparagraphmainlytellsusthat.

A、parentsshouldbestrictwiththeirchildren

B、parentalcontrolsreflectonlytheneedsofmeparentsandthevaluesofthe

community

C、parentalrestrictionsvary,andarenotalwaysenforcedforthebenefitofthechildren

alone

D、parentsvaryintheirstrictnesstowardstheirchildrenaccordingtothesituation

标准答案：C

知识点解析：事实细节题。文章第2段表明：不同的家长对孩子的管制程度不同；

家长对小孩的管制不仅是为了孩子个人的幸福，也反映了父母的需要以及社区的价

值观，故C与原文相符。

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

A^idea

B、punishment

C、behavior

D^instruction

标准答案：D

知识点解析：词义理解题。由precept所在句可猜测precepl应与example相对，且

与下文的preach意思相近，故D正确。

20>Inmoralmatters,parentsshould.

A、observetherulesthemselves

B、beawareofthemarkeddifferencebetweenadultsandchildren

C、forbidthingswhichhavenofoundationinmorality

D、consistentlyensurethesecurityoftheirchildren

标准答案：A

知识点解析：推理判断题。第3段提到父母应该避免讲一套做一套，结合最后一段

可得出结论：关于思想道德教育问题，父母应以身作则，带头遵循，故A正确。

大学英语四级（阅读）模拟试卷第2套

一、阅读（常规阅读理解）（本题共40题，每题1.0

分，共40分。）

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

valuableM.particularlyN.proceedO.payment

标准答案：G

知识点解析：此处应为形容词，表明continue的状态。由本句的almost和下一句

的【heonlydifference可知这种情况几乎没有改变，只有unchanged最合适。

2、[2]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此处应为名词。本句提到的induslriesandfamilybusinesses,hotels,

restaurants等都是小孩受雇的地方，由此可推断空白处应为employmento

3、[3]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：此处应为副词或形容词。词库U」没有符合本句句意的形容词，因此答

案应从副词中寻找。作者在列举了一系列小孩受雇的地方后，把farm放在最后是

为了强调，particularly就是答案。

4、[4]

标准答案：H

知识点解析：此处应为动词，可与from搭配。本文说的是童工问题，工作对童工

来说都是折磨，本句中的laborpractices和下一句中的areforcedto都暗示了这一

点，因此空白处应为suffer。

5、[5]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：此处应为形容词，修饰work。从本句Although一词形成的对比关系

可以推断.空白处的形容词与主句中的harmful应为词义色彩相反的单词，词库中

只有light既符合本句的句意，也符合本句要求的词义色彩。

6、[6]

标准答案：E

知识点解析•：此处应为副词，作全句的状语。木句表明童工的情况现在仍然存在于

亚洲，因此答案为recently。

7、[7]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：此处应为名词。本句中的overcrowded和unhealthy都表明童工的工

作条件，因此空白处应为表明“条件”的名词，即conditions。

8、[8]

标准答案：0

知识点解析：此处应为名词。从下一句提到的Thechildren...receivenothingnJ[Uffi

断本句表明童工的工资时给了他们的父母或年长的亲人，因此payment是本题答

案。

9、[9]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：此处应为名词。句中提到的bcttcrlaws,greatersupervision和heavier

fines等都表明这些是解决童工问题的方法，因此答案为solutiono

10、[10]

标准答案：L

知识点解析：此处应为形容词，修饰lime一词。本句表明解决了童工问题，儿童

就能重获美好的时光，因此空白处应是一个积极意义的形容词，词库中只有

valuable符合词性、词义与色彩的要求。

credited

II、[11

标准答案：N

知识点解析：此处需要填一个评论性副词。根据转折语气，在词库中的两个副词

中，fortunately比较合适，意为“所幸的是”。

12、[2]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此处需要过去分词，表示ice-cream所承受的动作，spill最合适，意

为“溢出,洒落”。

13、[3]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：此处需要及物动词，且为原形，可以和compensation搭配。由此可

得出答案为claimoclaimcompensation意为"索赔

14、[4]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：此处需要名词，并与pain并列，由此可知该词表消极意义。根据其

后的定语从shehadsuffered,可确定答案为inconvenience（不便）。

15、[5]

标准答案：H

知识点解析：根据前半句的denied（否认），可知此处需要动词的过去式，词义应该

与deny相反。由此可知答案为maintained,意为“坚持认为

16、[6]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：此空是在was后面，所以有两种可能性，一种是填形容词，另一种

是填动词的被动态，即过去分词形式。词库中的形容词不能构成be…tosth.结

构，可排除。动词的过去分词形式中，只有entitl除符合条件。beentitledtosth.意

为“有……的权利”。

17、[7]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：根据didnot,可知此处需要动词原形。it为形式主语，真实主语是后

面的由al从句，故此词可以和il...山"1构成搭配。而ilfollowsihiU意为“由此得

出结论....因而断定....."，显然follow最为合适。

18、[8]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：此处需填一个名词，而且和judge有关，与makeoul形成搭配，显然

case最为合适。makeoutacase意为“找到充分的理由

19、[9]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：此处需填一个名词。he指的是上文提到的thejudge。法官一般需要

当事人提供的是“证据"，故用evidenceo

20、[10]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：根据didnot和from,可知此处需要不及物动词原形。符合条件的动

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

derivefrom意为“从...起源根据上下文，不难发现arise一词比较合适。

21、[11

标准答案：K

知识点解析：此处需填不及物动词，可以和up构成词组。上下文都在讲经济发展

良好，所以该词应表积吸意义，词库中符合条件的词是soared。soaredup意为，高

涨，剧增

22、[2]

标准答案：E

知识点解析：此处需要形容词，与good并列修饰jobs。由此可知该词与good一样

表积极意义，可先排除temporary。词库中符合条件的形容词有secure和

permanentosecure不能如此搭配，用法不对；permanenl较为合适，表明薪水高

的、稳定持久的工作。

23、[3]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：此处需要及物动词的过去式，作谓语。Even在这里有转折之意，所

以根据主句中的谓语动词acted（行动，表现）可知该动词与言语行为有关，由此可

知announced一词比较合适，意为“宣布

24、[4]

标准答案：0

知识点解析：此处需填可数名词，能与ata一起连用。根据句首的Even,可知此

处应该与前面的highersalesandprofils相反，由此很容易确定loss最为合适。ata

loss意为"万损

25、[5]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：此空在were后面，且由副词so修饰，所以有两种可能性，一种是形

容词，另一种是分词。前文说到失业率下降，此处的形容词是10U多万工人自己离

职的原因，由此可确定该词表消极意义。词库中的四个形容词都不合适，而动词的

过去分词形式中，discouraged符合条件，意为“灰心的，丧气的”。

26、[6]

标准答案：H

知识点解析：此空在were后面，且由副词partially修饰，所以为形容词或动词过

去分词。上文提至unemployment下降,联素下文提到的self-employment,可知此

处指“就业”，由此可确定答案为employed。

27、[7]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此处需填可数名词。根据其后的ihat定语从句，显然irend最为合

适，意为“趋势，势头

28>[8]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：此处需要形容词或动词过去分词。上下文都在说工作不稳定，所以答

案显然是secure（安全的。有安全感的）。

29、[9]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：此处需要副词，修饰equalto…。比较词库中的两个副词virtually和

originally,显然virluaHy比较合适，意思是“实际上，事实上”。

30、[10]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：此处需要填入形容词。根据破折号后面对work的解释，可知该词表

消极意义。上下文都在说工作不稳定，被裁员，所以可确定答案为temporary（临时

的）。

beginning,可知steadily较合适。risesteadily意为"稳步上升

32、[2]

husband,可知答案为households。
