英语四级新题型(阅读)冲刺讲义【新东方】

考试易犯的五大错误 翻译高分攻略 新四级冲刺方略

第十课时


Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:

    The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs." He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.
    My topic is not standards nor its decline(降低). What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.
    My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies(缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.
    The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.
    Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.

66. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that ________.
   A) the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that of the older generation
   B) the students had a poor command of English because they didn't work hard enough
   C) he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen years
   D) English teachers should be held responsible for the students' poor command of English
67. In the author's opinion, the speaker ________.
   A) gave a correct judgement of the English level of the students
   B) had exaggerated the language problems of the students
   C) was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobs
   D) could think and speak intelligently
68. The author's attitude towards the speaker's remarks is ________.
   A) neutral                       C) critical
   B) positive                      D) compromising
69. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.
   A) it is justifiable to include English as a school subject
   B) the author disagrees with the speaker over the standard of English at Grade 9 level
   C) English language teaching is by no means an easy job
   D) Language improvement needs time and effort
70. In the passage the author argues that ________.
   A) it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the students
   B) young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their jobs properly
   C) to eliminate language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and ears
   D) to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generations


Unit 4

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:

    Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. "You've got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer."
    The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿者), I had no prospects at all: What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.
    After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering, What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test — even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
56. The passage is meant to ________.
   A) warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
   B) advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
   C) show young people it's unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame
   D) encourage young people to pursue a writing career
57. What can be concluded from the passage?
   A) Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.
   B) A writer's success depends on luck rather than on effort.
   C) Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.
   D) The chances for a writer to become successful are small.
58. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?
   A) He wasn't able to produce a single book.
   B) He hadn't seen a change for the better.
   C) He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year.
   D) He found his dream would never come true.
59. " ... people who die wondering, What if?" (Line 3, Para. 3) refers to "those" ________.
   A) who think too much of the dark side of life
   B) who regret giving up their career halfway
   C) who think a lot without making a decision
   D) who are full of imagination even upon death
60. "Shadowland" in the last sentence refers to ________.
   A) the wonderland on often dreams about
   B) the bright future that one is looking forward to
   C) the state of uncertainty before one's final goal is reached
   D) a world that exists only in one's imagination

Unit 20

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
    Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.
    Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.
    People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.
    It is estimated that up to 100000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal(残酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation(冲突)between hunters and hunt saboteurs(阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow.
    Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost, as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.

26. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes ________.
   A) for recreation
   B) in the interests of the farmers
   C) to limit the fox population
   D) to show off their wealth
27. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?
   A) It involves the use of a deadly poison
   B) It is a costly event which rarely occurs.
   C) The hunters have set rules to follow.
   D) The hunters have to go through strict training.
28. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game ________.
   A) by resorting to violence
   B) by confusing the fox hunters
   C) by taking legal action
   D) by demonstrating on the scene
29. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ________.
   A) prohibit farmers from hunting foxes
   B) forbids hunting foxes with dogs
   C) stop hunting wild animals in the countryside
   D) prevent large-scale fox hunting
30. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
   A) killing foxes with poison is illegal
   B) limiting the fox population is unnecessary
   C) hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent
   D) fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the rich
