2010年6月大学英语四级考试答案及解析 作文参考 (A)     Nowadays, students attach less importance to the spelling of words in the process of English study. This phenomenon greatly influences students’ writing and brings on worries among teachers. 　　There are possibly three reasons contributing to this phenomenon. First, exam-oriented education makes the students pay less attention to spelling. Second, some teachers should also be responsible for it because they don’t emphasize the importance of spelling during teaching. Last but not least, some students are too lazy to recite words. Since spelling is one of the most important factors in English study, due attention should be given to it. As for me, I think, first, exams should be modified to add some factors into it, which would help students pay more attention to spelling. Then, schools should also set effective mechanisms to help teachers as well as the students to realize the importance. Finally, for students themselves, they can, through other ways, make them be interested in word spelling. Only by these can we surly realize the importance of spelling and make improvement. (B)      What is hot for 2010 in our colleges? It is the spelling mistakes. Countless students lack due attention to spelling. Taking a look around, we can find examples too numerous to list, the one may be “challenge”. Freshman and sophomore almost write this word as “challenge”. How careless they are! 　　Why such a phenomenon sweeps every university? Some experts attribute it to students’ inattention, because students always pay no attention to spelling. However, other experts argue, the teachers should be blamed for this situation. In my opinion, it is far beyond any reasonable doubt that both of them should exert themselves to change the spelling mistakes.     As far as I’m concerned, I firmly argue that we need to attach great importance to word-spelling. To the students, they should write English as much as they can. Meanwhile, to the teachers, the dictations should be reinforced in the class. 快速阅读 1.

C) He cannot get access to the assigned book. 由对话可知，该男士认为令他烦恼的是无论是在图书馆还是在书店他都找不到那本书，由此得出答案。get access to指“获得，走近，接近，能够利用某物”。 12.

C) Tidy up the place. 由文中” I guess it’s pretty obvious what you’ll be doing most of today”可知，很显然她想让他打扫房间。 14. A) The talks can be held any day except this Friday. 本题考查one day is as good as the next的意思，该短语指的是任何一天都行。因此男士的意思是除了本周五，其它任何一天都可以。 15. A) He understands the woman’s feelings.文中男士认为，” I’d feel that way too if I were you.”，“如果我是你的话我也会那样（感到很生气）。”因此她赞同女士的想法，表示理解女士的感受。 16.

C) Many students find Prof. Johnson’s lectures boring. 由男士的话可得知，很多同学如果课前没喝咖啡的话，几乎很难保持清醒状态，忍不住犯困，也就是说学生们都觉得Prof. Johnson的课很无聊。 18. D) Assemble a computer. 本文中主要是考assemble的意思，如果同学知道assemble意为“组装，装配”，便不难得出答案。”put a computer together”指“组装电脑”。 19. B) It requires him to work long hours. 男士开头便说”I have to work very long hours”，因此选B。 20. D) It demands physical endurance and patience. 女士问及工作哪个部分会比较难时，男士回答道他需要一直站着，同时在他们忙的时候，别人会变得易怒，也就是说这份工作需要体力和耐心。 21. D) In a hotel. 由文中” I wrote to about six hotels and one of them gave me my first job”可得出答案。 22. B) Paying attention to every detail. 由男士的回答” Attention to detail”可得知，B选项恰好与”attention to detail”同义。 23. A) The pocket money British children get. 原题为 What is the table of figures about? 意思是：这个表格是关于什么的？根据第一句话Now you’ve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get? 我们可以知道这个表格是关于英国孩子的零花钱情况的。 24. C) It often rises higher than inflation. 原题为What do we learn from the conversation about British children’s pocket money? 意思是：从对话中我们可以了解到有关英国孩子零花钱的哪些信息？原文中女性说话人说“Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation? ”意思是：“你觉得为什么零花钱通常要比通货膨胀涨的更高呢？”据此我们可以判断英国孩子的零花钱比通货膨胀涨的更高，答案应选C. 25. B) Pay for small personal things. 原题为Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their pocket money? 对话中男性说话人说“…out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn’t expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.”意思是“我希望他们用零花钱去买一些小的个人物品，但我不希望他们把钱存起来去买他们自己的短袜等”。据此我们可以判断答案选B. 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（痛苦的，苦恼的），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 此题比较简单，原文中提到在餐馆遇到上错菜时，应该“make a polite but firm request to see the manage”,和C项所说完全一致。 31 D) You can’t tell how the person on the line is reacting 此题相对简单，答案基本上是原句，“So you can’t tell how the person on the line is reacting.” 32 D) Stick to the point 此题属于原文再现，原文最后建议写投诉信时，应当“be business-like and stick to the point”，即围绕自己的要点来说，而不要说些无关紧要的废话，因此应该选D项。 33. B) Architect 从原文“Before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government, designing government housing”可以得知。 34. A) Do some volunteer work. 从原文“If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week.”可以得知。 35. C) A baby-sitter is no replacement for a mother. 从原文“Tom does not think a baby-sitter can replace a mother”可以得知。 深度阅读 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from……to……, 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. Section B Passage 1 57. D) It is an indispensable device on an airplane. ward off指“避开，防止”。黑匣子并不能避免灾难发生，因此C选项不正确。indispensable，不能缺少的，文中多次举例黑匣子在事故发生后起到至关重要的作用，因此此选项正确。 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, they’re 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”（出现），即被探测人员发现。故选A。 Passage 2 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. C) You are emphasizing the fact that he is not intelligent. 细节理解题 本题问作者说“… you’re just underlining his faults”的含义是什么。文中前面说到有时说的过分，反而会让人感觉更糟，然后又说告诉朋友有爱因斯坦那样的潜能，自然会让朋友感觉有点夸张，反而会觉得是在说自己不聪明。 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 (心理治疗) 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。 完型填空 67.B differ 选项中，常与from搭配的有differ和derive。根据上下文不难看出，上文先说的是电子商务与电话银行等商务形式没有本质区别，与下文”the difference lies in”（区别在于）相呼应。 68.B via via fax：通过传真 69.B used models used: 所采用的形式。选项中，appear为不及物动词，此处应选填一个及物动词的过去分词作后置定语。 70.B lies lie in: 在于 71.B of consist of: 由…组成 72.D selects select an item: 挑选商品 73.A sends in send in: 递送; 呈报 74.A visible visible: 看得见的；明显的。网上购物时，商品目录会在网上呈现在顾客眼前。 75.B over 76.D allows 其中，admit做及物动词时，一般作“允许进入；承认；可容纳”解。allow sb to do，常用词组，容许某人做某事 77.A after 78.D insignificant 与下文的mainstream相对应。 79.C corporations 与下文businesses相呼应。 80.D only 81.B later 注意，latter意为，“后面的，后者的”。 82.D provided provide sb with sth，固定词组，为某人提供某物。 83.D besides besides意为，“此外，除此之外”。 84.A 珷眲蓿맨怂䐔ס曮 顺承关系，用and。 85.C widespread 网上银行流行起来了。widespread，分布广泛的。 86.A acquired acquire，及物动词，意为，“获得”。网上购物时，顾客能够获得更优质的商品和更周到的服务。 翻译 87. (in) concentrating on the experiment/ focusing her attention on the experiment. 本题考查两个短语的用法，一个是have difficulty (in) doing sth，该短语中，后面的动词要用现在分词形式。第二个短语是集中注意力，与此对应的有多个短语，如：focus/fix one’s attention on, concentrate on。翻译时需和前面短语的用法结合起来，把动词变成ing形式。 88. did she become angry/did she lose her temper before. 本题考查neither的倒装用法，以及发脾气这个短语，发脾气可以说become angry，也可以用lose one’s temper。 89. being invited to attend the opening ceremony. 本题考查look forward to的用法，后面要跟名词或者动词的ing形式，而且要注意后边是被邀请所以要用被动语态。 90. (should) be fixed/installed by the window 本题考查It is suggested that结构中主语从句中要用虚拟语气的用法，即should + 动词原形，should可以省略。 91. the strong opposition of her parents/ her parents’ strong opposition. 本题考查despite的用法，注意despite是介词，后边应该跟名词或者名词短语。 听力原文 Section A Short Conversation 11. W: Just imagine! We have to finish reading 300 pages before Monday! How can the professor expect us to do it in such a short time? M: Yeah, but what troubles me is that I can’t find the book in the library or in the university bookstore. Q: What does the man mean? 12. M: Do you think I could borrow your car to go grocery shopping? The supermarkets outside the city are so much cheaper. I’d also be happy to pick up anything you need.

W: What time would suit you for the first round talks with John Smith? M: Well, you know my schedule. Other than this Friday, one day is as good as the next. Q: What does the man mean? 15. W: I was so angry yesterday! My biology teacher did not even let me explain why I missed the field trip. He just wouldn’t let me pass! M: That doesn’t seem fair. I’d feel that way too if I were you. Q: What does the man imply? 16. M: I really can’t stand the way David controls the conversation all the time. If he is going to be at your Christmas party, I just won’t come. W: I’m sorry you feel that way, but my mother insists that he come. Q: What does the woman imply? 17. W: You’re taking a course with Professor Johnson. What’s your impression so far? M: Well, many students could hardly stay awake in his class without first drinking a cup of coffee. Q: What does the man imply? 18. W: Have you ever put a computer together before? M: No, never. But I think if we follow these instructions exactly, we won’t have much trouble. Q: What are the speakers going to do? Long Conversations Conversation 1 W: What sort of hours do you work, Steve? M: Well I have to work very long hours, about eleven hours a day. W: What time do you start? M: I work 9 to 3, then I start again at 5:30 and work until 11, six days a week.

W: What are the things you have to do and the things you don’t have to do? M: Uh, I don’t have to do the washing-up, so that’s good. I have to wear white, and I have to keep everything in the kitchen totally clean. W: What’s hard about the job? M: You are standing up all the time. When we are busy, people get angry and sharp, but that’s normal. W: How did you learn the profession? M: Well, I did a two-year course at college. In the first year we had to learn the basics, and then we had to take exams. W: Was it easy to find a job?
