2014年6月大學(xué)英語四級答案解析(233網(wǎng)校)
Passage One
56. What does the latest congressional report suggest?
A) STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.
B) The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.
C) The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students’ spiritual life.
D) Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.
解析:56.B
本題屬于觀點型細(xì)節(jié)題,問近的一次國會報告提出了什么建議。根據(jù)題干定位詞latest congressional report 定位到文章第二段句。Acknowledge意為“承認(rèn)”,引出觀點。前半句非常簡單,“近的一次國會報告承認(rèn)了技術(shù)訓(xùn)練的關(guān)鍵性”,后半句以but進(jìn)行語義轉(zhuǎn)折,意為“但是他們也認(rèn)為關(guān)于人文學(xué)科和社會科學(xué)的研究都必須在任何等級的美國教育系統(tǒng)中作為核心部分”。之后的both areas are critical to…都是在描述這兩門學(xué)科對塑造人才的積極影響,可以略讀。
再來看四個選項。
A. STEM在段有解釋,分別由science, technology, engineering和maths的首字母組成,意為“科學(xué)”,“技術(shù)”,“工程學(xué)”和“數(shù)學(xué)”。所以A選項的意思是“與STEM相關(guān)的學(xué)科可以幫助學(xué)生在信息社會找到工作”。文章對于STEM的影響的描述只出現(xiàn)在第二段的后一句話,但沒有提及能幫助找工作,屬于無中生有,排除。
B. 意思是“人文學(xué)科和STEM應(yīng)該被給與相同的重要性”。通過第二段句話but后面的內(nèi)容可以確定B為正選。選項一的難點是STEM在文中是以social science進(jìn)行同義替換的方式出現(xiàn)的。Should be given equal importance和原文的must remain central components of …對應(yīng)。
C. “高等教育的文科能幫助學(xué)生豐富精神世界”。C選項的干擾性同樣來自于第二段的后一句,但需要注意的是原文所說的spiritual enrichment是由reflection on the great ideas of mankind提供而非選項所指的liberal arts. 故C排除。
D. “高等教育應(yīng)該適用于社會的實際需求”。這個選項屬于無中生有,比較容易排除。
57. What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?
A) Their interest in relevant subjects.
B) The academic value of the courses.
C) The quality of education to receive.
D) Their chances of getting a good job.
解析:57.D
題目問學(xué)生選擇專業(yè)時主要關(guān)心什么。結(jié)合順序原則可以大致定位到第三段,本段前兩句話講述了家長和學(xué)生們在為高等教育做出巨大投資之后所以擔(dān)心的問題就是市場的變化可能會導(dǎo)致孩子們將來就業(yè)機(jī)會變少以及工資降低。并且根據(jù)這個大背景提出了一個公認(rèn)的解決的辦法,也就是由題干中的major定位到的本段第三句,“Major in a subject designed to get you a job”seems the obvious answer to some,… 意思是“選擇一個為給你找到工作而設(shè)計的專業(yè)是大部分人認(rèn)可大答案”。
A.“對相關(guān)專業(yè)的興趣。”
B.“課程的學(xué)術(shù)價值。”
C.“接受的教育的質(zhì)量。”
D.“找到工作的機(jī)會。”原文的同義改寫,鎖定D答案。
58. What does the author say about the so called soft subjects?
A) The benefit students in their future life.
B) They broaden students’ range of interests.
C) They improve students’ communication skills.
D) They are essential to students’ healthy growth.
解析:58.A
問作者如何評價所謂的“軟”學(xué)科。本題答案依然出自于第三段,57題定位句的后半句,即though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run.本句的disciplines與subjects都是“學(xué)科”的意思,所以這句話可以翻譯成“盡管他們忽略一個事實,那就是人文學(xué)科中那些被描述成“軟”學(xué)科的,通常能夠能夠促成將來的就業(yè)和成功”。
A.“他們會在將來的生活使學(xué)生受益。”benefit與原文的lead to employment and success對應(yīng),in their future與原文的in the long run對應(yīng)。A為正選。
B.“他們能擴(kuò)大學(xué)生的興趣。”
C.“他們能提高學(xué)生的交流能力。”
D.“他們對于學(xué)生的健康成長至關(guān)重要。”BCD均為無中生有,直接排除。
59. What kind of job applicants do employers look for?
A) Those who have a strong sense of responsibility.
B) Those who are good at solving practical problems.
C) Those who are likely to become innovative leaders.
D) Those who have received a well-rounded education.
解析:59.D
問老板想找什么類型的應(yīng)聘者。答案出自第三段后一句話,employers have expressed a preference for students who received a broadly-based education that has taught them how to write well, think carefully, research creatively, and communicate easily. 這句話非常直白地告訴我們老板所偏愛的員工是接受過broadly-based education的人,即“全方位教育”,所以與這句話有相同描述的選項即為正選。
A.“那些有強(qiáng)烈責(zé)任感的人。”
B.“那些能夠解決實際問題的人。”
C.“那些有可能成為有創(chuàng)新力的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的人。”
D.“那些接受過全方位教育的人。”well-rounded是broadly-based的同義改寫,所以D為正選。
60. What advice does the author give to college students?
A) Seize opportunities to tap their potential.
B) Try to take a variety of practical courses.
C) Prepare themselves for different job options.
D) Adopt a flexible approach to solving problems.
解析:60.D
問作者給大學(xué)生提了什么建議。全文只有四段話,前三段都已經(jīng)用于解決之前的四道題,所以后一題自然而然地定位到后一段。并且由句里的students should…可以看出這段話主要是在討論相關(guān)的建議。由于沒有具體的定位詞可以參考,所以一般情況下咱們需要快速讀完整段話再一一對應(yīng)選項看有沒有符合的內(nèi)容。
A.“尋找機(jī)會開發(fā)自己的潛力。”
B.“試著參加各種實際課程。”
C.“為不同的工作選擇做好準(zhǔn)備。”
D.“采取靈活的方法來解決問題。”
本題選擇D。答案出自于本段的后兩句話。意思是“能在這種環(huán)境下做到的一定是那些已經(jīng)讓自己做好隨時變通的準(zhǔn)備的人。”以及后作者還評價“能夠利用任何可用的工具——不管是來自己于哪個學(xué)科,去解決問題,并且利用機(jī)會表現(xiàn)自己”的能力會產(chǎn)生很大的幫助。D選項就是對原文的歸納和總結(jié),ABC屬于無中生有的干擾項。
Passage Two
61. What does the author say about energy independence for America?
A) It sounds very attractive.
B) It ensures national security.
C) It will bring oil prices down.
D) It has long been everyone’s dream.
解析:61、A 此題并非主旨題,按順序原則及題干信息定位首段。 “If you think so, you’re not alone”表明作者持有同樣想法,答案往“so”前面找——“Energy independence. It has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?” have a nice ring to sth.表示“聽起來不錯,令人向往”的意思,選項A的attractive是其同義改寫。即使不了解短語,根據(jù)nice可判斷正態(tài)度,答案選A。
62. What does the author think of biofuels?
A) They keep America’s economy running healthily.
B) They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.
C) They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.
D) They cause serious damage to the environment.
解析:62、D 由題干信息biofuels定位在第四段落。定位句本身出現(xiàn)but強(qiáng)調(diào):“but most biofuels are a Faustian bargain, causing economic waste and environmental destruction. ”but后面的強(qiáng)調(diào)才是作者對于biofuels的真正想法——causing economic waste and environmental destruction。選項中AB選項均為正態(tài)度,與原文不符直接排除。原文中C選項為干擾選項,“可持續(xù)的能源供給”,文章未提及。
63. Why does America rely heavily on oil imports?
A) It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.
B) Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.
C) It wants to keep its own environment intact.
D) Its own oil production falls short of demand.
解析:63 、C 按照閱讀出題的“順序原則”直接看到下一段(第五段)。首句“Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil. ”美國人不愿意自己產(chǎn)油,是63題題干信息當(dāng)中“…America rely on heavily on oil imports”的同義改寫。根據(jù)“金三句原則”定位到定位句的下一句“the American people…decided that they value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. ” 相比從國外進(jìn)口石油,美國人更看重環(huán)境質(zhì)量,由此判斷,答案選C——“keep environment intact”。
64. What does the author say about oil trade?
A) It proves profitable to both sides. C) It makes for economic prosperity.
B) It improves economic efficiency. D) It saves the cost of oil exploration.
解析:64、A 根據(jù)定位詞oil trade以及順序原則定位到文章后一段。根據(jù)文章主旨和前文內(nèi)容,或者是根據(jù)定位段信息可知“United States imports a great of energy”,讓能源輸出國有利可圖,而同時“At the same time”,美國本身也有自身利益——“we derive massive economic benefits…when we engage in energy trade around the world.”,答案選A——“It proves profitable to both sides”。
65. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A) To justify America’s dependence on oil imports.
B) To arouse Americans’ awareness of the energy crisis.
C) To stress the importance of energy conservation.
D) To explain the increase of international oil trade.
解析:65、A 問作者寫作意圖,即問全文主旨。根據(jù)各段首句以及串聯(lián)五個題干信息可得知,文章主要討論“America”的“energy independence”,就可以直接排除BCD選項了。為做題保險,還要進(jìn)一步確認(rèn)。由文章末端的結(jié)尾“At the same time, we derive massive economic benefits…when we engage in energy trade around the world.” 可得知作者態(tài)度還是站在“oil imports”這一邊的,因為可以得到“massive economic benefits”,所以作者還是在為“oil imports”而申辯的。答案選A。
