英语四级答案全解析
Correct spelling is a basic skill in English study. However, nowadays many students do not pay much attention to it.
They have their own reasons for misspelling. First of all, they like an easy way of studying, which causes some omissions and changes in spelling. Second, the teachers might not be very strict in students spelling. In China, teachers seem to be more concerned with grammar and vocabulary but not spelling.
To change this situation, in my opinion, the teachers and the students should work together. On one hand, the teachers should give more attention to students spelling, asking the students to be conscious of the importance of correct spelling from the very beginning of their English study. On the other hand, the students themselves are supposed to be aware that correct spelling is a must in English study.
To sum up, correct spelling is so important that both students and the teachers should spare no efforts to achieve correct spelling.
此次四级考试的作文题目为拼写问题应引起关注。拼写是同学们较为熟悉的问题,在拿到题目时大家应该不会感到陌生。但是由于选题较小,有同学可能会觉得这个题目比较难下笔,且题目中提到的是对忽视拼写或是错误拼写出现的原因和对策分析,因此,在平时注意拼写和不注意拼写的同来看来,感受可能不一样。
其实在拿到题目时,我们可以这样来分析。对平时就不注意拼写的同学来说,这个题目可能稍微更容易些,因为你们很清楚平时不重视拼写的原因,比如自身对拼写重视不足,比如年轻人不愿意拘束于法则,再比如可能老师平时对拼写的要求不如对语法的要求高等等。而对于平时以严谨态度对待拼写问题的同学,你们可以考虑为什么自己重视拼写,是不是因为自己本身就觉得拼写是英语学习的最基本技能,同时老师平时也比较重视和督促呢?
因此,总的来看,对拼写不重视的原因无外乎两个,一是自己本身认识不足,重视不够,二是老师可能也督促得较少。而要改变这种情况,就要老师和同学共同努力。这样分析下来,作文就不难写了。需要注意的是,对策需和原因保持对应。
写四级作文一定要大而化之,不能拘束在细节上。比如这篇作文,你不需要在作文中举出大量拼写错误的例子,这样只会给自己增加麻烦。拿到作文题目,分析一下题目涉及到了那些方面,那么,原因和对策必然是和这几方方面相关的。不要以为这是想当然,这是符合唯物辩证法的。

24. C) It often rises higher than inflation.

26 A) District managers
该题比较简单,文章开头说到Alex期盼着与district managers的会议,因此正确答案为A项。
27 D) The important part played by district managers
文章中提到在会议结束时,Alex打算以the conversation about the importance of the district managers to the company plans来结束会议,可见他打算强调district managers在公司计划中所起的重要作用。因此D项正确。
28 B) Fifty percent of them were female
此题比较简单,文章中后面说道Half of our managers are women, 而参加会议的基本上都是那些district managers,由此可判断,会议的听众有一半是女性,所以此题选B项。
29 B) He was not gender sensitive
文章最后一句说这些女性district managers听到Alex总用he来指代district managers感到surprised和distressed,由此可见Alex失败的原因是由于他对于涉及到性别的用词不够敏感所造成的。
30 C) Ask to see the manager politely but firmly

section A
文章大意:本文关注的是绿色建筑与对待现存房屋的问题。根据文意,所谓绿色建筑即为节能减排的建筑。绿色建筑在节能减排方面意义重大,但是将所有现存房屋替换成绿色建筑是否可行呢?文章给出的答案是不可行的,因为推倒这些房屋进行重建也需要大量能量。那么,如何处理这些能耗大的旧房屋呢?文末给出的建议是对它们进行整修和升级。
47. G incredibly
首先这里需要的是一个副词。根据文意,将这些房屋推倒代之以绿色建筑是极度浪费的。因此选incredibly.
48. K replace
replace A with B, 意思是用B 替换A. 这里是用绿色建筑取代现存房屋。
49. J reduced
这一句话较难理解,翻译成中文即:绿色建筑带来的碳排放量的减少平均需要65年才能够补偿推倒房屋所用掉的能量。reduced, 这里用作形容词,指减少了的。
50. L sense
in the broadest sense, 在最广义上,这里是一个固定搭配。
51. H powering
这里的and 引导的是平行结构,因此横线上需要填入一个动词的ing形式。在根据句意可知这里选powering,指为某物提供动力,使某物得以运行。
52. D exceptions
联系下文可知本段意思是老房子基本上是最不节能的。但话不能说得这么绝对,因此用 with some exceptions, 指除一些特殊情况外。
53. E expand
tiny cracks and gaps 指的是小的缝隙和缺口。小的缝隙和缺口随着时间流逝,会扩大,从而使得外面空气流入,因而加大了能耗。这里选expand表示扩展,增大。
54. O vast
a number of 表示大量的,number前面可加一些形容词,如great等,表示数量极大的。这里填入vast,意为数量巨大的。
55. F historic
句中有fromto, 从什么到什么,联系整句话,意思是从一些历史上的古老建筑到你自己的战后的房子。postwar 指二战后,是一个较近的时间,与之对应的则是historic.
56. I protect
首先,从句意判断,可知这一分句仍是陈述为老房屋进行升级的好处。此外,后半句中有介词from. 据此我们可以判断,此处应填入的词是protect.
57. C) Its ability to ward off disasters is incredible.
由文中首段their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book可得知,作者认为黑匣子能抵御任何灾难,后面的something out of a comic book只是用来比喻黑匣子抵御灾难的巨大能力,与C选项不谋而合。ward off指避开,防止。
58. A) Data for analyzing the cause of the crash.
本文第二段介绍了黑匣子在对于探寻Yemeni airliner坠毁原因上所起到的重大作用。由第二段第二行the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong以及后面由于法国一潜艇找到黑匣子这一发现marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy可以推断出答案。
59. C) The early models often got damaged in the crash.
文中第三自然段第三行,由Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned可得知,1965年黑匣子重新设计的原因是之前的黑匣子在坠机时容易遭到破坏。withstand意为承受,经受。
60. C) To make them easily identifiable.
由文中得知黑匣子被漆成橙色或黄色的原因是 to aid visibility。Visibility是visible的名词形式,意为能见度,可见度,因此,漆成橙色或黄色主要是因为希望黑匣子可见度高,比较明显,容易被发现,故选C。
61. A) There is still a good chance for their being recovered.
作者举出Air France Flight 447的例子主要是用来证明其前面的论点When submerged, theyre also able to emit signals form depths of 20,000 ft.意为黑匣子即使被埋于深处仍然能够发射信号以被察觉。Air France Flight 447的黑匣子处于水下深处,但数据显示他们仍能turn up,即被探测人员发现。故选A。
62. B) It is based on the concept of positive thinking
细节理解题
本题是问从文章第一段中我们能够了解自我帮助产业的哪些情况。文章第一句就说自我帮助产业是建立在把消极思考转化为积极思考的基础之上,因此B项是正确的。虽然文章一开始虽然说自我帮助产业的规模有110亿美元,但这只是说产业规模,并没有提到该行业具有很高的利润率,因此不能由此判断A项就是正确的。文章中只说Norman Vincent是积极思考的倡导者,并没有说该行业是由他创立的,因此C项不正确。第一段末尾作者就质疑积极思考是否真的有效,因此D项不是正确选项。
63. A) Encouraging positive thinking may do more harm than good
细节归纳题
本题问加拿大研究学者的发现是什么,文章第二段提到他们发表的文章里说让人们更积极地思考实际上会产生相反的效果,只会起到强调人们又多不开心的作用。后面又用实验来说明了这个观点,在文章的第三段和第五段也都再次说到积极思考会起到相反作用,使人们更不开心。因此本题选A项。
64. B) You are pointing out the errors he has committed
细节理解题
本题问作者说 youre just underlining his faults的含义是什么。underline his faults表面意思就是用线划出某人的过失,也就是指出某人所犯的错误,因此应当选B项。
65. C) Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem
细节理解题
本题问从Wood的实验中我们可以了解些什么。此题与63题有一定关联。答案应在对实验结果进行分析说明的段落来找,即文章的第五段。文章第五段说实验者在被迫进行多次自我肯定后,自卑的情况并没有得到改善,反而加重了。因此此题应该选C项。
66. B) Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy
细节理解题
本题问从文章最后一段我们可以了解些什么,毫无疑问答案自然是在文章最后一段。在这一段里,作者说文章还推荐人们把静思作为一种心理治疗的方法,因此应当选B项。文章只是说静思可以帮助人们学会接受自己的不足,把自己的不足放到更广泛的层面去思考,但并没有说静思可以使人们避免犯错误。因此D项不正确。
