2018 12月四级考试阅读题预测
New technology links the world as never before.Our planet has shrunk.It‟s now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link.And.of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad.In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts.Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks.The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company‟s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad.If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent(普遍的).Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.English is still the international language of business.But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language.A second language isn‟t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal The employee posted abroad who speaks the country‟s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and cam have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly.The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.21.What is the author‟s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment? A)Critical.C)Indifferent.B)Prejudiced.D)Positive.22.With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, businesspeople ______.A)have to get familiar with modern technology B)are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations C)are attaching more importance to their overseas business D)are eager to work overseas 23.In this passage, “out of sight and out of mind”(Lines 2-3, Para.3)probably means ____.A)being unable to think properly for lack of insight B)being totally out of touch with business at home C)missing opportunities for promotion when abroad D)leaving all care and worry behind 24.According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today? A)Connections with businesses overseas.B)Ability to speak the client‟s language.C)Technical know-how.D)Business experience.25.The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can _______.A)better control the whole negotiation process B)easily find new approaches to meet market needs C)fast-forward their proposals to headquarters D)easily make friends with businesspeople abroad In recent years, Israeli consumers have grown more demanding as they‟ve become wealthier and more worldly-wise.Foreign travel is a national passion;this summer alone, one in 10 citizens will go abroad.Exposed to higher standards of service elsewhere, Israelis are returning home expecting the same.American firms have also begun arriving in large numbers.Chains such as KFC, McDonald‟s and Pizza Hut are setting a new standard of customer service, using strict employee training and constant monitoring to ensure the friendliness of frontline staff.Even the American habit of telling departing customers to “Have a nice day” has caught on all over Israel.“Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, „Let‟s be nicer,‟” says Itsik Cohen, director of a consulting firm.“Nothing happens without competition.”
Privatization, or the threat of it, is a motivation as well.Monopolies(垄断者)that until recently have been free to take their customers for granted now fear what Michael Perry, a marketing professor, calls “the revengeful(报复的)consumer.” When the government opened up competition with Bezaq, the phone company, its international branch lost 40% of its market share, even while offering competitive rates.Says Perry, “People wanted revenge for all the years of bad service.” The electric company, whose monopoly may be short-lived, has suddenly mopped requiring users to wait half a day for a repairman.Now, appointments are scheduled to the half-hour.The graceless El Al Airlines, which is already at auction(拍卖), has retrained its employees to emphasize service and is boasting about the results in an ad campaign with the slogan, “You can feel the change in the air.” For the first time, praise outnumbers complaints on customer survey sheets.26.It may be inferred from the passage that _______.A)customer service in Israel is now improving B)wealthy Israeli customers are hard to please C)the tourist industry has brought chain stores to Israel D)Israeli customers prefer foreign products to domestic ones 27.In the author‟s view, higher service standards are impossible in Israel ________.A)if customer complaints go unnoticed by the management B)unless foreign companies are introduced in greater numbers C)if there‟s no competition among companies
D)without strict routine training of employees 28.If someone in Israel today needs a repairman in case of a power failure, ________.A)they can have it fixed in no time B)it‟s no longer necessary to make an appointment
C)the appointment takes only half a day to make D)they only have to wait half an hour at most 29.The example of El A1 Airlines shows that _______.A)revengeful customers are a threat to the monopoly of enterprises B)an ad campaign is a way out for enterprises in financial difficulty C)a good slogan has great potential for improving service D)staff retraining is essential for better service 30.Why did Bezaq‟s international branch lose 40% of its market share?
A)Because the rates it offered were not competitive enough.B)Because customers were dissatisfied with its past service.C)Because the service offered by its competitors was far better.D)Because it no longer received any support from the government.以下信息不可外传

第三篇:2011英语四级预测题答案详解
答案及详解1:
Part I Writing
City Problems
Nowadays, millions of migrant workers flock into cities in search of jobs and better living.However, with the sharp rise in the urban population, many problems arise in the development of cities.Firstly, cities become more and more crowded, putting much pressure upon transportation, housing, sanitation, education, employment and so on.City services and facilities have been strained to a breaking point.Secondly, a growing number of private cars emit a huge amount of carbon dioxide, leaving the air mercilessly polluted.What is more, the city is also threatened by an increase in crime.There is not a single day passing without the report of someone being robbed, kidnapped or even murdered.Last but not least, city-dwellers are not only separated from the nature but also isolated from each other, even not knowing name of their next-door neighbor.All these problems have harmed the attractiveness of the city.More people may seek to live in the suburbs if there isn't any improvement.Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)
1.Y 文章开头提到experts ponder how best to rebuild the devastated city,并在第三段简要介绍了重建的几种方案,随后文章详细地阐述了各种建议,由此可知该句正确。
2.Y 根据题干中的信息词Netherlands and Venice 定位到原文第三段。文中关于前者的描写是keeping the water at bay,关于后者是let water flow through the city,由此可知题干表述正确。
3.N 根据题干中的信息词canals和flooding 定位到原文第五段,该段提到运河的作用是funneling surges,而Those surges are to blame for the flooding,由此可知运河与洪灾是有关系的故该句错误。
4.N 根据题干中的信息词levees及long-term fate 定位到原文第六段第一句话,可知their long-term fate is unclear,故该句表述错误。
5.Y 根据题干中的信息词basic problem for New Orleans 定位到原文第七段第一句话,可知题干表述与原文相符。
6.Y根据题干中的信息词Coast 2050定位到原文第八段,在Coast2050后明确提到Wetland restoration was a key component,可知题干表述正确。
7.NG 根据题干中的信息词Coast2050定位到原文倒数第三段第一句,可得到答案。
8.another meter.根据题干中的信息词by2100定位到原文倒数第三段第一句,可得到答案。
9.piped in from the river.根据题干中的信息词another ambitious plan 定位到原文倒数第三段第二句,可得到答案。
10.not yet clear.根据题干的中的信息词decisions和reconstruction 定位到倒数第二句,可知关于城市的重建方案仍无定论。
Part IV Reading Comprehension Section A
47.N 填入该空格的应为非谓语动词或形容词,选项中和with搭配的非谓语动词有 associated 和 balanced,结合句意“它(蓝色)也是一种最常与指挥和权威想________的颜色”,可知N最符合文意。
48.A 由下句 Blue and turquoise are represented by the Islamic religion,,并集合空格所在句的结构,可知A符合文意。
49.F 由上文提到的“蓝色和青绿色代表了伊斯兰宗教”,可知蓝色应该是清真世界中主要的颜色,故F符合文意。
50.D 分析句子结构,该处应填入动词,再结合常识,可知蓝天和水包围着人类,故D符合文意。
51.C 分析句子结构,该处应填入一个形容词,思想中能和peaceful 在意义和风格上并列的只有C,refreshing 意为“使人心旷神怡的”。
52.G 既然下文说蓝光能使人的神经系统平静下来,那么结合常识可知人的血压也会相应降低,故G符合文意。
53.H 由上文可知调配不当的深蓝色也回令人不舒服,只有和其他暖色平衡,才不会显得冷且枯燥,选项中H符合文意。
54.I 选空应填入一个名词,由句意“轻柔的蓝色能使我们感觉宁静,能远离一天的忙碌和________”来看选项,I(活动)最符合文意。
55.M 该空应填入第三人称单数的动词,选项中只有M符合,该句意为“添加绿色和红色能提高蓝色浓度”。
56.J 该空应填入一个名词。空格之前提到了蓝色的卧室和蓝色的浴室,空格后又出现了of your living space,所以空格处要填一表空间的词,这一quieter 空间将是living space 的一部分,J最符合文意。
Section B
Passage One
57.C 细节题。由文章第一段第二句所说的with the shops so crowded and the staff so busy 可知,对扒手来说一月份是偷东西的大好时机是因为商店很拥挤,而且店员很忙碌,所以C正确。原文虽然提到了干扰项D 的内容,但那只是对问题的重复,并不是答案。
58.B 推断题。文章第三,四段指出,悬挂在天花板上的小球用于拍摄小偷作案时的情景,而拍有偷窃情景的录像带可以用做指正小偷的证据,所以B正确。虽然这些小球是用来拍摄犯罪场景的,但小球本身并不能作为证据指控扒手,故排除强干扰项D。
59.D 推断题。文章第四段提到Selfridges百货商店以拍摄到的录像带为证据成功指控了扒手,最后总结说这是一件重要的判断案件,由此推断,这种证据(录像带)被法庭接受是该案件的重要性之所在,所以D正确。
60.A 推断题。文章倒数第二段最后一句指出,偷香水的女人不可能看到针孔摄像机在拍她,但她能感觉到有人在看着她,由此推断,女人可能猜到了挂在天花板上的小球的作用,所以A正确。偷香水的女人并不确定她是否被发现了,她只是觉得有摄像机她就有可能被拍到,因而排除D。
61.B 推断题。结合文章最后两段可知,那个女人虽然有偷香水的企图,但因为看到了挂在天花板上的小球并猜到了它的作用,从而感到害怕,才又把香水放了回去,所以B正确。
Passage Two
62.B 细节题。文章第一段第三,四句指出,巨齿鲨一般被认为生活在一百万到五百万年前,它们长52英尺,下颚至少7英尺宽;该段最后一句指出,几乎没有人相信巨齿鲨没有灭绝而只是迁到了深海生活,即这一观点并不为大众所接受,故选B。本题要注意题干中的commonly一词。
63.C 细节题。文章第二段后半部分指出某些古老的海底生物,因为人们找不到它们所以就认为它们已经灭绝了,实际上它们仍然存在,接着列举了Coelacanth为例,故选C。
64.D 细节题。文章第三段第一句指出,为了追踪苏联的潜水艇,美国海军在20世纪60年代在世界范围内布下了水下扩音器,由此可知D正确。
65.A细节题。文章第三段第六。七句指出,从美国海军录制的声音中可以听到一个奇怪的、威力无比的动物的声音,由此可知,A正确。文章并未明确指出该声音是由什么动物发出的,故应排除B、C、D。
66.C 推断题。A(科学家的发现总在改变人们的观念),B(还有很多秘密未被发现),这两项并不能从本文中推断出来,故排除;D(“深海声道”能传播声波并使其不受干扰),由第三段第三句可知,是声道的温度和压力能传播声波并使其不受干扰,故排除D;本文开篇第二句Or is it?提出了对巨齿鲨灭绝一说的质疑。末段倒数第四句Could it be Megalodon? 暗示Bloop有可能是巨齿鲨发出的,所以C(巨齿鲨仍然生活在深海)正确。Part V Cloze
67.B 惯用搭配题。本句意为“如今,汽车是全美最普遍的交通____。”再结合下一句中的as a means of everyday transportation 可知,B正确。搭配 means of transportation 意为“交通工具”。
68.C 词义辨析题。deny意为“拒绝”,reproduce意为“复制”,replace意为“取代”,ridicule意为“嘲笑”,结合句意可知,应是汽车完全取代了马,所以C正确。
69.B 词义辨析题。hardly 意为“几乎不”,nearly意为“几乎”,certainly意为“的确”,somehow意为“不知何故”,结合上下文可知,本句意思是“美国人几乎90%的旅行都使用他们自己的车”故B正确。
70.A 词义辨析题。trip意为“旅行”,尤指以工作和娱乐为目的的短途旅行,所以A正确。work意为“工作”,business意为“买卖”,travel意为“旅行,尤指长途旅行,均不符合句意。
71.A 词义辨析题。buy意为“购买sell意为“出售”,see意为“看见”,集合 句意及下文提到的price可知,A正确。
72.D 词义辨析题。结合句意,此处意为“最近生产的”,即:recently made,所以D正确。quickly意为“快速地”,rapidly意为“迅速地”,regularly意为“有规律地”,都不合句意。
73.B 介词用法题。up to意为“到(某个数量)”,所以B正确。
74.D 词义辨析题。raise意为“提高”,make意为“制作”,reduce意为“减少”,improve意为“改进”。结合空格后的内容可知,空格处应填入能与宾语their products and work efficiency相搭配的动词的现在分词,此处意思为“提高他们的查品和工作效率”,故选D。
75.C 词义辨析题。结合句意可知,该句要表达的意思是 “一般家庭的年收入”所以C正确。
76.C 词义辨析题。由句中的increase和than可知,空格处应填入副词的比较级,再结合句意可知,C正确。
77.D 词义辨析题。bring意为“带来”,obtain意为“获得”,have意为“拥有”,purchase意为“购买”,此句意为“买一辆新车仅占一个家庭总收入的少部分”,所以D正确。
78.A 词义辨析题。part意为“部分”,half意为“一半”number意为“数量”side意为“旁边”,结合句中的 take a...of可知,A正确。take a part of在本句中意为“占……的一部分”。
79.B 词义辨析题。clearly意为“明显地”,proportionally意为“按比例地”,obviously意为“显然地”,suddenly意为“突然地”,此处意为“显然,在1951年一般家庭要花8.1个月的收入才能买一辆新车”,所以B正确。
80.A 词义辨析题。由上文提及的 the yearly income of the average family,再结合句意可知,A正确。
81.C 词义辨析题。四个选项中spend和 cost 都可以表示“花费”,但只有cost能以物为主语,指某物花费某人多少钱,所以C正确。
82.A 词义辨析题。本段讲的都是普通几听花费多少月收入来买车,所以A正确。
83.B 词义辨析题。结合表转折的 in addition 及句意可知,1975年产的汽车在技术上优于以前的款型,所以B正确。
84.C 词义辨析题。run意为“奔跑”,notice意为“注意”,influence意为“影响”,discussion意为“讨论”,此处意为“汽车的影响延伸到经济”,所以C正确。
85.B 逻辑衔接题。分析句意可知,前后两部分的因果关系,后面是因,前面是果,所以应选能引导愿意状语从句的词,故选B。
86.C 惯用搭配题。keep their cars running属于 keep sth.doing 这个固定动词短语,意为“保持……继续进行”,所以C正确。
Part VI Translation
87.all the written materials be stored into the hard disk of computers
根据英语的语法规则,表示“要求、命令、建议”等意思的动词在接宾语从句时,从句的谓语动词要用should+动词原形或直接用动词原形来表示虚拟语气。
88.If I were you
有句意可知“如果我是你”表示的是一种假设的情况,故用 if 引导的条件状语从句来表示虚拟语气。用 if 一道条件状语从句表虚拟时,如果表示现在的情况,谓语动词要用过去式(be 动词用were);如果表示将来的情况,谓语动词要用 would(could等)或were to+ 动词原形的形式。
89.postponing the conference to the end of this quarter
在这句话中,mind作动词,意为“介意,在乎”,其后应跟 dong 的形式。另外,应注意“季度”的英文表达是 quarter。
90.With various factors considered
已给出的部分句子结构是完整的。所以中文部分可译成短语或从句来作整句的状语。由于主句用的是被动语态,并没有明确指出施动者,所以所译的部分最好比买内使用含有施动者的主动句形式。在次可使用介词with来引导这一结构,而“考虑”和“因素”之间是动宾关系,所以应使用动词的过去分词来表示被动。
91.After having his hair cut
待译部分强调的是“理发完成”这个结果,而非理发的执行者,故可用 have sth.done 的结构。还应注意have sb.do sth.这个结构,也意为“让某人做某事”,但此时,要指出动作的发出者是谁。

20年前,很多人对创业者(entrepreneur)的态度是不理解和不信任。但是现在,这个形势已经发生了根本的变化。不仅人们对创业者的态度发生了变化,同时在政策上有很多扶持,也有很多的奖项来表彰创业者。现在如果一个有志青年去创业,他会受到很多赞许的目光,我们会为他鼓劲、加油。一些扶持政策也会帮助他成功创业,在社会舆论环境上,方方面面都给现在的创业者提供了一个非常好的一个平台。
参考译文: years ago, many people did not understand or trust entrepreneurs.But now the situation has radically changed.Not only has people's attitude towards entrepreneurs changed, but also there are a lot of support in terms of policy and many awards to commend their achievements.Now if an aspiring young person wants to start a business, he or she will receive a lot of praise.People will cheer for him or her.He or she will get policy support as well.In terms of public opinion environment, besides many other favorable aspects, a very good platform has been created for entrepreneurs today.词句点拨:

中国土地广阔,人口众多。尽管全国都讲汉语,但是不同地区的人说汉语的方式不同,这被称为方言。方言一般被称为地方话,是汉语在不同地区的分支,只在特定地区使用。汉语方言非常复杂。它们有以下三方面不同:发音、词汇和语法。发音的区别最为显著。2000多年前,中国人发现社交时应该使用同一的语言。和方言相比,普通话能被所有人理解。普通话有利于不同种族、地区人民之间的信息传递和文化交流。
参考译文:
China has a vast land and a large population.Even though the Chinese language is spoken all over the country, people in different areas speak it in different ways, which are called dialects.Generally called local languages, dialects are branches of the Chinese language in different regions, and are only used in certain areas.Dialects of the Chinese language are very complicated.They differ from each other in three aspects: pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar.And the difference in pronunciation is the most outstanding.Over 2000 years ago, Chinese people realized that a common language should be used in social activities.Compared with dialects, mandarin can be understood by all people in China.The use of mandarin can contribute to information transmission and cultural exchange between ethnic groups and people in different places.词句点拨:

中国五年前根本没有高速铁路。但是现在高铁列车(high-speed trains)的票经常很快就售罄,尽管发车间隔比较短。人们能够很方便地以两倍于美国火车最髙速的速度在全国周游。高速铁路系统的运菅非常成功,它运载的乘客是全国民航(civil aviation)系统运载的乘客的两倍。中国有世界上最先进的、低排放的快速运输系统之一,而做到这一点仅仅用了五年。
参考译文:
China didn't have a high-speed rail five years ago.But now the tickets of high-speed trains are usually sold out very quickly, even though the departure interval is quite short.And people can conveniently travel around the nation at a speed that doubles the speed of the fastest American train.The operation of high-speed rail system is very successful;it carries twice as many passengers as the nation's civil aviation system.China has one of the most advanced rapid transit systems with low emissions in the world, and it only takes five years to achieve this.词句点拨
1.但是现在高铁列车的票经常很快就售罄,尽管发车间隔比较短“售罄”:可译为sell out,意为“卖完了,卖光了”;“发车间隔”译为departure interval。
2.人们能够很方便地以两倍于美国火车最高速的速度在全国周游:“以...的速度”可译为at a speed...,speed意为“速度”“;两倍于”即“是...的两倍”,可译为double,也可译为twice。
3.高速铁路系统的运营非常成功,它运栽的乘客是全国民航系统运载的乘客的两倍:“运栽”可用carry来表示。“倍数+as+many/much/large等形容词+(比较的内容)+as”为英语中表达倍数时常用的结构,中间的形容词根据比较的内容来定,如比较大小则用as large as,表示“是...的两倍大”则为twice as large as。
如今,越来越多的大学生抱怨很难找到好工作。造成这一现象的原因如下:首先,大学生把在校的大多数时间都用在了专业学科学习上,只有当他们开始找工作的时候,才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训。其次,大学生之间的竞争也越来越激烈,这导致任何一名大学生找到工作的机会都变小了。因此,强烈建议大学生在课余时间做一些兼职工作,以积累相关的工作经验。
Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job.The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training.Second, competition among graduates has become more and more fierce.And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job.Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience.自从1978年经济改革以来,中国已经完成了从中央计划经济(centrally planned economy)向市场经济(market based economy)的转变。超过6亿人已经脱离了贫困,但是仍然有超过1.7亿人生活在国际贫困线以下天少于1.25美元。2012年,中国的人均GDP 为12405.67美元,这是30年前的37倍。到2018年,中国的人均 GDP将从世界第90位上升到第75位。然而,这仍然是低于预计的世界平均水平。
Since initiating market reforms in 1978,China has shifted from a centrally planned to a market based economy.More than 600 million citizens have been lifted out of poverty, but over 170 million people still live below the $1.25-a-day international poverty line.In 2012, China’s GDP(PPP)per capita was $12,405.67.This is 37 times higher than what it was just 30 years ago.By 2018,China’s GDP per capita will climb from the 90th to 75th highest in the world.This however will still be below the forecasted world average.“剩女(leftover women)”这个词被用来指那些在二十八九岁,甚至更大年龄仍未结婚的女性。有些人认为“剩女”是需要认真对待的社会力量,而另一些人则主张这个词应被视为褒义词,意思是“成功女性”。据2010年的中国婚姻调查(Chinese National Marriage Survey)报道,90%的男人认为女人应该在27岁之前结婚。在中国,大部分“剩女”都是受过良好教育的中产阶级。跟以前几代人相比,如今的女性更加自由,更能够独立生活。
参考译文:
“Leftover women”is a term that refers to women who remain unmarried in their late twenties and beyond.Some people regard leftover women as a social force to be reckoned with”,while others have argued that the term should be taken as a positive term to mean“successful women”.In a 2010 Chinese National Marriage Survey,it was reported that 9 out of 10 men believe that women should be married before they are 27 years old.In China leftover women are mostly well-educated middle class.Women today are more free and able to live independently in comparison to previous generations.丝绸之路(the Silk Road)是历史上连接中国和地中海的一条重要贸易路线。因为这条路上的丝绸贸易占绝大部分,所以在1877年它被德国的一位地理学家命名为“丝绸之路”。这条古道从长安开始,经过河西走廊(the Hexi Corridor),到达敦煌后分成三条:南部路线,中部路线和北部路线。这三条路遍布新疆维吾尔自治区(Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region),然后扩展到巴基斯坦(Pakistan),印度,甚至罗马。
The Silk Road is a historically important international trade route between China and the Mediterranean.Because silk comprised a large proportion of trade along this road, in 1877, it was named the Silk Road by an eminent German geographer.This ancient road begins at Chang’an, then by way of the Hexi Corridor,and it reaches Dunhuang, where it divides into three, the Southern Route,Central Route and North¬ern Route.The three routes spread all over the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and then they extend as far as Pakistan, India and even Rome.中国将进一步发展经济、扩大开放,这对海外企业(enterprises)意味着更多的商机。改革开放以来,中国企业与海外企业一直积极开展经济技术合作,并取得了巨大成就。海外企业不仅帮助中国企业的成长,而且也在合作中取得了收益。中国政府将继续提供有力的政策和条件,推动中国企业与国外企业进一步开展合作。

There s a growing chorus of complaints in society about the loud music lateat night.If it s near a mall or public square, there is no problem, but whenit s near apartment blocks and disturbs residents, it would be better if thegovernment regulates it, just like in many western countries。
社会越来越多人抱怨晚上吵闹的音乐。我认为如果是在购物中心或者公共广场附近,那没有问题。但是如果是在住宅区附近,打扰到居民时,政府就应该出面管理一下,很多西方国家就是这样做的。

I live in China, and find this a rather charming pastime.But there is aneed for a restriction on the number of loudspeakers in a given area。

It becomes so infectious now in the cities throughout China.It stime to have government step in to regulate it。
我真的很讨厌。广场舞,因为我经历过。她们在楼下一天能跳十个小时以上,经常会跳到深夜,音乐声很大,很吵。要是你,你愿意每天在这种环境中生活吗?现在广场舞在中国太泛滥了。政府是时候介入来管一管了。
有人说,单词是做好阅读的关键;然而这并不意味着只要弄懂单词就行了;阅读理解,还有一个关键就是:读懂句子,掌握各个句子之前的逻辑关系,这样才能顺利的理解文章的意思。下面就让我们一起看看阅读中常考的逻辑关系吧!
首先是我们最熟悉的因果关系。
因:because、because of、for、as、since、in that、on account of、with
果:so、so that、therefore、thereby、as a result、hence、thus、consequently、accordingly
因果关系除了传统意义上的显性因果表达词外,隐性的因果同样是不可忽略的一个重要部分。
隐性因果:
A 导致(因-果):cause、reason、lead to、give rise to、result in、render、make、let、ask、push、stimulate、fuel、produce
如:The increased presures of expanding population have led to the removal of woody plants so that many cities and tow are surrounded by large areas completely lacking in trees.在这段话中,有lead to表示了导致的意思,即结果,而so that更进一步表示了后面的结果,所以可以充分判定这段话有因果关系的逻辑。
B 由„而来(果-因):result from、derive from、originate from、initiate from、stem from、be attributable to
如:“The extreme serioue of desertification results from the vast areas of land and tremendous numbers of people affected,as well as from the great difficulty of reversing or even slowing the proce.”
在这段话中,根据result from可以推断出有因果关系,那如果是解释句子题时,选项中有因果关系就可以优先考虑。
C 反映,体现(果-因):reflect、present、demonstrate、suggest、imply
D 考虑到:given、considering、in view of、thanks to、according to
He succeeded thanks to(in view of)his effort.E 依赖于:rely on、depend on、resort to
He resorted to books when he had problems.F 条件关系:when、once、as soon as、As long as
As soon as he got the money, he would leave the country at once.G 分词短语,不定式做状语:Failing in the final exam, she cried.在漫长的30分钟四级听力中,最怕的就是捡了芝麻,丢了西瓜。最重要的信息经常会因为一时疏忽而丢掉分数。所以,在四级听力中,一定要抓住以下这七类关键词!
一、转折性词汇
学会听转折词汇,如yet, however, though, whereas, unfortunately, unexpectedly, instead, rather than, other than, to be frank, frankly speaking, to tell you the truth,etc.二、逻辑类词汇
表原因:because, because of, for, as, due to, owing to, in that, now that, according to;
表结果:therefore, so, as a result, consequently, eventually;
表递进:apart from, in addition, furthermore, what's more, moreover,etc.三、最高级词汇
形容词和副词的最高级最需要关注,如most importantly, the most popular...the biggest of...四、事实罗列词汇
在诸如actually, in fact, as a matter of fact,etc.这些词汇后可能是关键的考点
五、序数词
如the first, firstly and finally
六、情态动词
如sb.has got to, can , could, may, might, need,should, ought to,etc
七、重要形容词
表示重要的词本身就很重要呢,如important, crucial, chief,major,significant, the only, unique, essential, necessary, vital, etc.四级作文常用的70个基本术语,考前赶紧背下来吧!

1.近几年出现了大学生就业难的现象
2.产生这种现象的原因(如大学生追求的目标过高,专业不对口等)3.如何解决这一问题(改变就业观念,大学生再培训等)College Students’ Job Hunting In recent years, college students find it increasingly difficult to get a job.It sounds strange since young college students are usually intelligent, well-educated phenomenon, aspirant and eager to bring their talent into full play.Then what underlies the strange phenomenon? There are several reasons for this.To begin with, nowadays college students aim too high.All they want are “good” jobs which could offer good salary, comfortable working conditions, high social status among others.Consequently, most college students are unwilling to accept vacant jobs they consider not “good” enough.Another reason is that there is a big gap between the majors some students study in school and the demands of vacant jobs.So companies think some students are not fit for the jobs.Solution to the problem requires efforts on both the society and the students.The companies should value the students, talent and knowledge while the latter should not merely aim at material gains.They should be down-to–earth in building up their career.Furthermore, they should face their weak points so as to improve themselves and be more competent.预测十九
