【閱讀練習(xí)】What

is

it

about

Americans

and

food?

We

love

to

eat,but

we

feel

about

it

afterward.

We

say

we

want

only

the

best,

but

we

strangely

enjoy

junkfood.

We’re

with

health

and

weight

loss

but

face

an

unprecedented

epidemic

of

obesity(肥胖).

Perhaps

the

to

this

ambivalence(矛盾情結(jié))

lies

in

our

history.

The

first

Europeans

cameto

this

continent

searching

for

new

spices

but

went

in

vain.

The

first

cash

crop(經(jīng)濟作物)wasn’t

eaten

but

smoked.

Then

there

was

Prohibition,

to

prohibit

ways

experience,

too,

has

been

one

what

“real

Americans”

eat,

but

our

nation’s

food

has

come

to

be

by

imports—pizza,say,

or

hot

dogs.

And

some

of

the

country’s

most

treasured

cooking

comes

from

people

whoarrived

here

in

shackles.Perhaps

it

should

come

as

no

then

that

food

has

been

a

medium

for

the

nation’sdefining

struggles,

whether

at

the

Boston

Tea

Party

or

the

at

is

integral

It’s

D

feel是一個系動詞，可以判斷此處應(yīng)填入一個形容詞，通過上下文意思，以及后面介詞about,可以確定選項為D項guilty,短語feel

guilty

about

sth.“對……感到有愧”。全句的意思為“我們很愛吃，但是往往在吃完之后又有負罪感”。2.M

be

obsessed

with

為固定搭配，原意為“被……附上/纏住/迷住心竅”，放在本句表示“十分重視”。全句的意思為“我們很關(guān)心健康和減肥，但肥胖卻又空前地在蔓延”。3.

A

本句缺一個名詞作主語，并且根據(jù)和介詞to的搭配，可以推斷出正確選項answer.4.

I本句根據(jù)more和ways可以判斷出需要填入一個形容詞構(gòu)成比較級，根據(jù)上下文，表示“旨在禁止酗酒的禁酒令，卻激發(fā)了更多新奇的方法來酗酒”，可以確定I為正確選項。5.

F

本題較難。根據(jù)be

和by

確定應(yīng)填入一個過去分詞。再根據(jù)上下文，上文表示“應(yīng)該吃典型的美國人吃的食物”，下文通過

but

轉(zhuǎn)折，表示實際上“美國的食物已經(jīng)被諸如比薩和熱狗這樣的舶來品所詮釋了”，因此可以確定F為正確選項。6.B政治結(jié)果，可根據(jù)宗教原因religious

reasons來推斷此處填政治結(jié)果。7.

L由于橫線后面沒有賓語，可以確定不是形成bring的短語，這樣本句所缺的為一名詞，做bring的賓語。根據(jù)下文解釋，“美國人對他們所吃的食物的態(tài)度是矛盾的”，可以推出本句意義為“堅定的觀點也不是確定不變的”。因此可以確定L為正確選項。8.

K系動詞become后應(yīng)填入一個形容詞，和后面介詞of形成短語be/become

suspicious

of“對……感到懷疑”。9.

J本句缺一個名詞作主語，并且根據(jù)和介詞in的搭配，可以推斷出正確選項belief，(have)belief

in

sth.“相信……”。10.

C本句是一般現(xiàn)在時，缺一個動詞，且和with

搭配，確定選項為share,

share

sth.

withsb.,“與某人分享某事”。英語四級閱讀理解練習(xí)題及解析(2)

C。事實細節(jié)題。第一段提到了影響視幅的因素：不同的人，不同的閱讀目的，對材料的熟悉程度，光線，疲勞。C“一組詞的長度”不是能影響視幅的因素，是本題的答案。2

C。觀點態(tài)度題。作者在第二段第二句提到，眼睛訓(xùn)練課程只注重了閱讀的視覺因素。倒數(shù)第二句書哦，閱讀要求具備理解單詞間關(guān)系的能力。因此選項C“閱讀需要大腦的深度參與”正確。作者沒有否定閱讀的視覺因素的必要性，但是也沒有說讀者應(yīng)該練習(xí)拓寬視幅，加快閱讀速度。所以AB兩項都不正確。作者沒有對大腦和眼睛在閱讀過程中的重要性進行對比，所以不選D3

C。作者在這句話中先是肯定了那些閱讀練習(xí)提高看單詞的能力，然后提出了有效閱讀概念。后面句中還指出，有效閱讀需要的是理解單詞間的聯(lián)系的能力。所以作者的意思應(yīng)該是那些(訓(xùn)練眼睛的)閱讀練習(xí)對與有效的閱讀無益。B與文章相反。D句是蘊涵其中一個意思，卻不是作者想表達的方向。4

D。第二段最后一句說，眼睛訓(xùn)練對于幫助讀者閱讀連貫文章無益，所以D是錯的，是本題答案。5

A。參考前面的結(jié)構(gòu)剖析，作者寫本文的主要目的是對那些只關(guān)注閱讀的視覺因素的閱讀能力課程進行批判，所以答案應(yīng)該是A。英語四級閱讀理解練習(xí)題及解析(5)

B)responsible意義符合原句，其他均不符合，故排除。2.選O)。此處應(yīng)填動詞原形。本文主題就是采用一種新的工資和薪水制度時需要注意的問題，選項中的動詞原形有compare“比較”，find“找到”，adopt“采納”，分別帶入原文，只有adopt最符合原文意思，故選O).3.選H)。此處應(yīng)填名詞。從原文看，and連接并列結(jié)構(gòu)，所以要填的詞應(yīng)與and后面的ways意思一致，選項中的名詞只有mathod

=

ways，故選H)method。4.選I)。此處應(yīng)填形容詞。上文說新的工資制度需要一套決定工作評估和衡量雇員表現(xiàn)的方法，說的是制度“是否有用”的問題。這句說的時新的工資制度執(zhí)行過程中的問題，勞資雙方先期達成一致是薪酬制度成功的必要條件。形容詞useful和successful，I)seccessful更符合原文意思。5.選D)。此處應(yīng)填動詞。這個動詞的賓語是point“分值”，把分值...起來to

give

a

totalvalue"得出總分值"，選項中有added和combined，前者指“把...相加”，后者意為“把...結(jié)合在一起”，原文指將分值相加得出總分，故D)added最符合文意。6.選M)。此處應(yīng)填名詞。首先solve

problem“解決問題”是經(jīng)理們應(yīng)具備的能力，選項中的capacity與ability都可以表示“能力”;前者強調(diào)的是理解的能力和接受事物的能力，而后者強調(diào)實際應(yīng)用的能力，故不難判斷解決問題的能力應(yīng)該用M)ability。7.選F)。此處應(yīng)填名詞。前半句指出“因為管理工作很難評估，經(jīng)理的工作得分不需要參照基于分值的評估系統(tǒng)決定?！眞ithout

reference

to為固定搭配，意思是“與...無關(guān)”。故選F)reference。8.選A)。此處應(yīng)填動詞原形。原句中出現(xiàn)了the

value

of

each

job“每種工作的價值”和thesein

the

job

market“工作市場上的(工作價值)”，說明人事部門通過比較兩種價值來計算工資制度。選項中只有compare表示“比較”，所以A)正確。9.選K)。此處應(yīng)填副詞，修飾整句話。“報酬要隨工作表現(xiàn)各方面的不同而有所改變”，選項中Necessarily“必須地”與

Basically“基本地”為副詞，分別帶入原文，“報酬...的變化是必須的”更符合上下文意思，故排除N),選K)。10.選G)。此處應(yīng)填形容詞。前文中提到一種情況即simple

to

measure

the

work

done"易于評估的工作"，通常用現(xiàn)金獎勵辦法;而...measurement

is

difficult“難于評估的”，說明這些工作人員的工作不像手工工作那么直接，因而是間接的，故選項中只有G)indirect符合原句的意思。英語四級閱讀理解練習(xí)題及解析(6)【閱讀練習(xí)】Americansareproudoftheirvarietyandindividuality,yettheyloveandrespectfewthingsmorethanauniform.Whyareuniformsso__1__intheUnitedStates?Amongtheargumentsforuniforms,oneofthefirstisthatintheeyesofmostpeopletheylookmore__2__thancivilian(百姓的)clothes.Peoplehavebecomeconditionedto__3__superiorqualityfromamanwhowearsauniform.Thetelevisionrepairmanwhowearsauniformtendsto__4__moretrustthanonewhoappearsincivilianclothes.Faithinthe__5__ofagaragemechanicisincreasedbyauniform.Whataneasierwayisthereforanurse,apoliceman,abarber,orawaiterto__6__professionalidentity(身份)thantostepoutofuniform
