第一篇:2013年12月大学英语四级仔细阅读习题及答案
It is hard to predict howscience is going to turn out, and if it is really good science it is impossibleto predict.If the things to be found are actually new, they are by definitionunknown in advance.You cannot make choices in this matter.You either havescience or you don't, and if you have it you are obliged to accept thesurprising and disturbing pieces of information, along with the neat andpromptly useful bits.The only solid piece ofscientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundlyignorant about nature.Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the pasthundred years of biology.It is, in its way, an illuminating(启发)piece of news.It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment(启蒙运动)to be told byany of us how little we know and how bewildering(迷惑)seems the wayahead.It is this sudden confrontation(对抗)with the depth and scopeof ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of the 20th centuryscience to the human intellect.In earlier times, we either pretended tounderstand how things worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up storiesto fill the gaps.Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are gettingglimpses of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered.Because of this, we are depressed.It is not so bad being ignorant if you aretotally ignorant;the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality ofignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-bad spots, but no truelight at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels that can yet be trusted.But we are making abeginning, and there ought to be some satisfaction.There are probably noquestions we can think up that can't be answered, sooner or later, includingeven the matter of consciousness.To be sure, there may well be questions wecan't think up, ever, and therefore limits to the reach of human intellect, butthat is another matter.Within our limits, we should be able to work our waythrough to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, and pay attention.1.According to the author, really good science_______.A)wouldsurprise the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment
B)willproduce results which cannot be foreseen
C)will helppeople to make the right choice in advance
D)willbring about disturbing results
2.It can be inferred from the passage thatscientists of the 18th century.A)thought that they knew a great deal andcould solve most problems of science
B)wereafraid of facing up to the realities of scientific research
C)knew thatthey were ignorant and wanted to know more about nature
D)did moreharm than good in promoting man's understanding of nature
3.Which of thefollowing statemcnts is NOT true of scientists in earlier times?
A)Theyinvented false theories to explain things they didn't understand.B)Theyfalsely claimed to know all about nature.C)They didnot believe in results from scientific observation.D)They paidlittle attention to the problems they didn't understand.4.What is theauthor's attitude towards science?
A)He isdepressed because of the ignorance of scientists.B)He isdoubtful because of the enormous difficulties confronting it.C)He is confidentthough he is aware of the enormous difficulties confronting it.D)He is delighted because of theilluminating scientific findings.5.The authorbelieves that ______.A)man canfind solutions to whatever questions concerning nature he can think up
B)man can not solve all the problems he canthink up because of the limits of human intellect
C)sooner or later man canthink up all the questions concerning nature and answer them
D)questions concerningconsciousness are outside the scope of scientific research
答案:
1.B 推理题,答题依据在本文第1句:科学的前景如何?这个问题实难预测。如果是真正的科学,就不能进行预测。
2.A 推理题,答题依据在本文第2段前半部分。这一部分提到,我们对自然界所知甚少,作者认为这是过去一百年以来生物学的重大发现。从这一方面讲,这是一个具有启发意义的消息。如果18世纪最聪明的启蒙运动者被告知我们现在是多么无知,多么对人类的未来感到茫然,他一定会惊讶不已。由此可以推断,他们当时自认为所知很多,能够解决大部分的科学问题。
3.C 设题区在第2段后半部分。A、B、D项在该部分都有涉及,只有C项没有提到。
4.C 作者对科学所持的态度可以从本文最后两句看出来:虽然他意识到科学面临着巨大的困难,但还是很有信心。
5.A 推理题,依据见末段第2句:只要是人们能想到的问题,迟早都会得到解答。B项的意思是,由于人的智力有限,他并非能解决他能够想到的所有问题,这与原文意思不符。
第二篇:大学英语阅读练习习题及答案
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.“Tear‟ em apart!” “Kill the fool!” “Murder the referee(裁判)!”
There are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events.At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough.But let‟s not kid ourselves.They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed.Volumes have been written about the way words affect us.It has been shown that words having certain connotations(含义)may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior.I see the term “opponent” as one of those words.Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent” is “adversary” “enemy” and “one who opposes your interests”.Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to take every action, no matter how gross it is.I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player‟s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough.The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed, “Are they wet enough now?”
In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way.I have also witnessed a player reaching to his opponent‟s intentional and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play.Off the court, they are good friends.Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated(提升)the game to the level where it belongs, thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world.Replacing the term “opponent” with “associate” could be an ideal way to start.The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “colleague” “friend” and “companion”.Reflect a moment!You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent”.57.Which of the following statements best expresses the author‟s view? A)The words people use can influence their behavior.B)Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes.C)Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences.D)Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field.58.Gross actions are taken during games because the players_______.A)are too eager to win B)treat their rivals as enemies C)are usually short-tempered and easily offended D)cannot afford to be polite in fierce competitions 59.What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves? A)He angrily hit the referee with a ball B)He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt.C)He claimed that referee was unfair D)He refused to continue the game 60.What is the meaning of the word „court”(Para.4)? A)please where trials are held B)official residence of a sovereign C)space marked for sports D)courtyard 61.The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by ______.A)regulating the relationship between players and referees B)calling on players to use clean language in the court C)raising the referee‟s sense of responsibility D)changing the attitude of players on the sports field 57—61 ABBCD
Passage Two Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.The French word “renaissance” means rebirth.It was first used in 1855 by the historian Jules Michelet in his History of France, and then adopted by historians of culture, by art historians, and eventually by music historians, all of whom applied it to European culture during the 150 years spanning 1450-1600.The concept of rebirth was appropriate to this period of European history because of the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout Europe.Scholars and artists of this period wanted to restore the learning and ideals of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome.To these scholars this meant a return to human.Fulfillment in life became a desirable goal, and expressing the entire range of human emotions and enjoying the pleasures of the senses were no longer frowned on.Artists and writers now turned to religious subject matter and sought to make their works understandable and appealing.These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance period----how people thought about music as well as the way music was composed and experienced.They could see the architectural monuments, sculptures, plays, and poems that were being rediscovered, but they could not actually hear ancient music---although they could read the writings of classical philosophers, poets, essayists, and music theorists that were becoming available in translation.They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect.For example, the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the music of his time.He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors, painters, architects, and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature.The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state of mind than a specific set of musical techniques.Furthermore, music changed so rapidly during this century and a half---though at different rates in different countries---that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.62.Which statement is NOT true about the “Renaissance”?
A)It began from 1450 and came to an end in 1600.B)It originated in Italy and then spread throughout Europe.C)People wanted to achieve nothing in life.D)Artists and writers showed interest in religious subject matter.63.The phrase “frowned on”(para.1)is closest in meaning to_____.A)disapproved of
B)forgotten about
C)argued about
D)given up 64.It can be inferred from the passage that thinkers of Renaissance were seeking a rebirth of _____.A)communication among artists across Europe.B)spirituality in everyday life
C)a cultural emphasis on human values
D)religious themes in art that would accompany the traditional secular(世俗的)themes.65.According to the passage, why was Bemaradino Cirillo disappointed with the music of his time?
A)It was not complex enough to appeal to musicians.B)It had little emotional impact on audiences.C)It was too dependent on the art and literature of his time.D)It did not contain enough religious themes.66.Which of the following is mentioned in the passage as a reason for the absence of a single Renaissance musical style?
A)The musical Renaissance was defined by technique rather than style.B)The musical Renaissance was too short to give rise to a new musical style.C)Renaissance musicians adopted the styles of both Greek and Rome musicians.D)During the Renaissance, music never remained the same for very long.62---66 CACBD
Passage One Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Romantic love is a culture trait found primarily in industrialized societies.Elsewhere in the world, pragmatic considerations rather than flights of fancy are often used to make a choice of partner, and romantic love is seen as an unfortunate inconvenience that gets in the way of the ordinary, rational process of mate selection.Traces of this attitude persist in the American upper classes, where daughters are expected to marry “well”---that is, to a male who is eligible by reason of family background and earning potential.Most Americans, however, see romantic love as essential for a successful marriage, and tend to look askance(轻蔑地)at anyone who marries for a more practical reason in which love plays no part.The phenomenon of romantic love occurs when two young people meet and find one another personally and physically attractive.They become mutually absorbed, start to behave in what appears to be a flighty(充满幻想的), even irrational manner, decide that they are right for one another, and may then enter a marriage whose success is expected to be guaranteed by their enduring love.Behavior of this kind is portrayed and warmly endorsed(赞同)throughout American popular culture, by books, magazines, comics, records, popular songs, movies, and TV.Romantic love is a noble ideal, and it can certainly provide a basis for the spouses to “live happily ever after”.But a marriage can equally well be founded on much more practical considerations---as indeed they have been in most societies throughout most of history.Why is romantic love of such importance in the modern world? The reason seems to be that it has some basic functions in maintaining the institution of nuclear family(小家庭)。
57.Romantic love is less frequently found in many non-industrial societies because people in these societies_____.A)firmly believe that only money can make the world go round
B)fail to bring the imaginative power of the mind into full play
C)cannot find romantic love
D)have far more practical considerations to determine who will marry whom 58.The word “potential”(para.1)could best be replaced by _____.A)energy
B)ability C)voltage D)place 59.According to the passage, most Americans _____.A)except their daughters to fall in love with a male at first sight
B)look up to those who marry for the sake of wealth
C)regard romantic love as the basis for a successful marriage
D)consider romantic love to be the most desirable thing in the world 60.What can we learn from the second paragraph about romantic love?
A)It is a common occurrence among the old.B)It is primarily depicted by books.C)It is characterized by mutual attraction and absorption.D)It is rejected as flighty and irrational.61.Which statement is true according to the passage?
A)Romantic love makes people unable to think clearly in the process of mate selection.B)Only romantic love can make a marriage happy ever after.C)Romantic love plays an insignificant role in maintaining the institution of the nuclear family.D)Much more practical considerations can also be the basis for a successful marriage.Passage 3 57----61 DBCCD Passage Two Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment.Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments.Their rent cannot increase;therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes.However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects.Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits.Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits.They do not invest in new buildings which could also be rent-controlled.As a result, new apartments are not built.Many people who need apartments cannot find any.According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartment in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way.The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers.The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paid jobs.However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers.They will replace workers with machinery.The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases.Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases.Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment.Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity.Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum.Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage.The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal”.Economists do not agree on some of the predictions.They also do not agree on the value of different decisions.Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it.Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.62.There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may _____.A)cause a shortage of apartments
B)worry those who rent apartments as homes
C)increase the profits of landlords
D)encourage landlords to invest in building apartment 63.According to the critics, rent control _____.A)will always benefit those who rent apartments
B)is unnecessary
C)will bring negative effects in the long run
D)is necessary under all circumstances 64.The problem of unemployment will arise ____.A)if the minimum wage is set too high
B)if the minimum wage is set too low
C)if the workers are unskilled
D)if the maximum wage is set 65.The passage tells us _____.A)the relationship between supply and demand
B)the possible results of government controls
C)the necessity of government control
D)the urgency of getting rid of government controls 66.Which of the following statement is NOT true?
A)The results of economic decisions can not always be predicted.B)Minimum wage can not always protect employees.C)Economic theory can predict the results of economic decision if other factors are not changing.D)Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.62---66 ACABD

My Opinion on Campus Lectures
In recent years, more and more lectures are being given on campus.They are organized either by the departments or by the students unions with an aim to improve the students quality both mentally and academically.These lectures are usually in series and on different topics, such as arts, life, economy, psychology and world issues.Generally speaking, the advantages of good lectures are various.First they broaden the students knowledge horizon and cultivate interest in different fields.Second, they make the life of the students colorful and enjoyable.With these merits, lectures are just complementary and subordinate to our school work.If students spend too much time attending lectures, their regular study will be affected and disturbed.So, in my opinion, the students should, on the one hand, do their class work and homework well first, on the other hand, set as more time as possible to attend good lectures which are helpful to our life and study.“成千上万人疯狂下载。。。

2014年大学英语四级模拟题一及答案
Part I Writing
To Get along with Your Roommate
Roommate conflicts among college students are often heard on campus over recent years.Study shows that these conflicts make the excitement of campus life grow grey and have bad effects on both their living and learning.Roommate conflicts often spring from daily trivial things such as time when to turn off the light and space where to store luggage or personal belongs.When personalities don’t mix, the specifics can tear roommates apart and sometimes even lead to serious conflicts.Besides, the fact
that roommates hold different attitudes towards certain issue is another factor causing these conflicts.Roommate conflicts are harmful and need to be settled.Though many people think that school discipline can soften the conflicts, I believe learning to be tolerant with each other can play a more
constructive role because it teaches students flexibility and the art of compromise.Meanwhile, communication contributes to the solution to this problem since many of these conflicts stem from
misunderstanding.Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)
