Section C

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each is followed

by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are

four choices marked A ),B., C.and D ). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.

People's tastes in recreation differ widely.At a recent festival

of pop-music in the Isle of Wight,crowds of teenagers flocked to listen

to their favorite singers and musicians. They went with single railway

tickets and slept in the open, a very risky thing to do in the climate

of Britain, even in August. They were packed together like sardines for

four days. There were innumerable thieves, a gang of roughs tried several times to break things up, and police were everywhere. At the end of the

festival many young fans found themselves broke, with no money left,and

they had difficulty in getting back home. Most people would consider these conditions a nightmare of discomfort; the fans appeared to enjoy it all enormously.

Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large tracts of

open un-spoilt country,where people with more traditional tastes can go for quiet, and for the sense of freedom they derive from contact with

nature. In the national parks especially, modern development of housing

and industry is strictly controlled.Visitors may walk for miles through landscape of the greatest beauty and wildness, and often of considerable historic or scientific interest.Along the coasts of some of the maritime counties,public pathways have been created;these paths stretch for many miles along cliffs that look out on the Atlantic Ocean or the English

Channel. Another path,lying inland,goes along the range of mountains in the north of England. It is called the Pennine Way. Here, the long-distance waller and the nature-lover can find much to enjoy, without

feeling disturbed by large numbers of their fellows.

Yet few people make full use of the national parks established for everyone's benefit. The commonest thing nowadays is for family groups to motor out to a beautiful spot and park their cars in a lay-by (英国的路旁停车带 ). A picnic basket is produced, along with a folding table and chairs, a kettle and a portable stove. They then settle down to a picnic in the lay-by beside the car. Apparently their idea of enjoyment is to

get into the fresh air and amongst the country sights and sounds without having to wall a yard. They seem almost to like to hear and to smell

the traffic.

A.go with a single railway ticket

B.listen to pop-music at the festival

C. sleep in the open

D.pack together in crowds

C.drive out past the beautiful places

D.hear and smell the animals

Passage Two

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is

for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose

is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his

objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration.

All mensimply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the

business of trying it on proceeds at once. All being well, the deal can

be and often is completed in less than five minutes,with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.

For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants,or does not have eactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the nameimplies,tries to sell the customer something else--he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out

such a substitute bluntly;he does so with skill and polish."I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for

size? It happens to be the color you mentioned. " Few men have patience

with this treatment, and the usual response is: "This is the right color

and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by

trying it on. "

Nowhow does a womango about buying clothes?In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way.

Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her

mind what she wants,and she is only"having a look around".She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman

tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number

of things.Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have

an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes.They are always on the look-out for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a womanmay easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps,before selecting the dresses she wants to try

on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. So most

dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

61. When a man is buying clothes, __________.

A.he chooses things that others recormnend

B.he buys cheap things, regardless of quality

C.he buys good things, so long as they are not too expensive D.

he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things

62.In commerce a good salesman is one who__________.

A.sells something a customer does not particularly want

B.always has in stock the thing the customer wants

C.can find out quickly the goods required

D.does not waste his time on difficult customers

63.What does a man do when he cannot get exactly what he wants?

A.He buys something that is similar enough to the ideal one.

B.He usually does not buy anything.

C.At least two of his reqnirements must be met before he buys.

D.So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.

64.According to this passage, when shopping for clothes, women__________.

A.often buy things without thinking

B.seldom buy cheap clothes

C.welcome suggestions from anyone

D.never take any advice

65. What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers'? A.The fact that men do not try clothes on in a shop.

B.Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not.

C.Women stand up while shopping, but men sit down.

D. The time they take over buying clothes.

Passage One

【参考译文】

人们对于休闲娱乐的品位大相径庭。在英国怀特岛最近举办的一次流行音乐节上,青少年们成群结队地去听他们最喜爱的歌手和音乐家演唱。 [56] 他们只买得起去音乐节的单程火车票,甚至不惜露宿街头,在英国那种气候条件下,即便是在八月份,他们的这种行为也是非常危险的。他们像沙丁鱼一样在音乐节

上挤了四天。音乐节现场有数不清的盗贼,一伙暴徒几次三番试图捣乱,而且到处都是警察。 [57] 音乐节结束后,许多年轻歌迷发现自己身无分文,想要回家都很困难。大多数人都会认为这种情形简直像噩梦一样叫人不爽,但是歌迷们似乎仍乐在其中。

[58]即便是在英国这样拥挤的国家,也有一大片一大片未遭破坏的乡村地区,在那里,有着更多传统品位的人们可以寻求安静以及他们在同大自然接触过程中

产生的自由感。特别是在国家级公园所在的地区,房产和工业的现代发展

受到严格限制。游客可以步行几英里,游览极度迷人而又十分原始的风景,以及大量历史和科学景点。 [59] 一些海滨县城修建了公路;这些公路沿着悬崖峭壁一直延伸,而这些峭壁则紧挨着大西洋或英吉利海峡。在内陆还有另一条公路,

沿国北部的山脉修成,被称作奔宁公路。在这里,远途旅行者和热爱大自然的

人能够收获不少乐趣一而不会有被大批其他游人打搅的感觉。

国家级公园是为造福公众而修建的,然而,很少有人能够充分利用这一资源。[60] 现下最为常见的事情就是,全家人一起开车去一个美丽的景点,将车停在路边的停车带。他们全生野餐篮、折叠式桌椅、一把水壶和一台便携式火炉,然后在自己车的附近安顿下来,开始一顿野餐。显然,他们对娱乐的观点是呼吸新鲜空气,身处乡间,不用行走一步就能欣赏美景,听闻乡村之声。他们似乎很喜欢用耳朵和鼻子去感受乡问的车马交通。

56.C

定位:根据题干信息词risky可将答案定位到第一段第三句。

解析:该句提到:“他们 ( 青少年们 ) 只买得起去音乐节的单程火车票,甚至不惜露宿街头,在英国那种气候条件下,即便是在八月份,他们的这种行为也是非常危险的。”故选 C。

57.D

定位:根据题干信息 atthe end ofthefestival 可将答案定位到第一段倒数第二句。

解析:该句提到:“音乐节结束后,许多年轻歌迷发现自己身无分文,想要回家

都很困。”故 D。becamequite penniless即意“身无分文”,是broke

和 with no money left的同述。

58.C

定位:根据干信息 even in the overcrowded United Kingdom可将答案定位到第二段第一句。

解析:原文提到:“ Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large tracts of open Hrl—spoilt country?( 即便是在英国的国家,也有

一大片一大片未遭破坏的村地区??) ” C 中的 not developed是原文中tin . spoilt 的同述,故正确答案。

59.B

定位:根据干信息 public pathways可将答案定位到第二段第四句。

解析:原文提到,一些海城修建了公路,在内,沿英国北部的山脉也有一条公路。途旅行者和大自然的人能收不少趣,而且不会有被大批其他游人打的感。可,开

辟公路就是了人能享受足,享受自然,故 B。

60.A

定位:根据干信息 family groups nowadays 可将答案定位到第三段第二句。解析:原文提到,下最常的事情就是,全家人一起开去一个美的景点,将停在路的停。

Passage Two

【参考文】

衣服男人和女人来是不同的。 [61] 男人去物是因他需要某些西。他的目

的是既定的,而且提前就做好了决定。他知道自己需要什么,而他的目的就是找到那

个西并下来,价格倒在其次。 [65] 男人都是直接走商店,店自己想要的西。如

果店里有,售能及找到,而且上就能穿或用,一切利的,整个交易一般在五分

之内就可以完成。然几乎没什么言交,但是双方各自都意。

[62]于男人来,如果商店没有他想的西或者羞不完全符合他心里的条件,可能会引一些小。在那种情况下,就要像自己的名称 ( “ ” ) 所暗示的那,客的西:他把跟客要求最接近的西

推荐他。秀的都不会然向客推荐替代品,他会花一番心思和技巧。比如,他会:“先生,我知道件上衣不是您想要的式,但您能否一下,

看看大小合不合适。它的色好符合您的要求。” [63] 于种情况,男人很少会,他一般都会:“也衣服的色和大小都合适,但要是我穿的:既浪了你的,也浪了我的。”

在来看一下女人衣服的程是怎的呢 ?每个差不多都和男人相反。女人物通常都不是因有什么需求。她从来都没完全决定自己想要什么,只是“四看看”。 [64] 女人是肯听他人的,她重女店的,甚至是同伴的。她会什么都窒一下。在她内心深,她要找的衣服,是所人都适合她的。与很多笑里的不同,很多女人在衣服的

候是精打

算的。她是在找意外的超商品。 [65] 面一屋子衣服,她也很容易就花上一个小,一排排,来来回回此不疲;她会不地折返脚步,

直到发现自己想试穿的衣服。这是个累人的过程,但是很显然,她们很享受这个过程。因此大部分服装店都为那些等待的丈夫提供座椅。

【答案解析】

61.D

定位:根据题干信息 when a man is buying clothes 可将答案定位到文章前两段。

解析:第一段中提到:“男人去购物是因为他需要某些东西。他的目的是既定的,而且提前就做好了决定。他知道自己需要什么,而他的目的就是找到那个东西并买下来,价格倒在其次。”可见,男士不怎么会考虑价格,故选D。

62.A

定位:根据题干信息agood salesman 可将答案定位到第二段第二句。

解析:第二段开头提到:“对于男人来说,如果商店没有他想买的东西或者并

不完全符合他心里的条件,可能会引发一些小问题。在那种情况下,导购就要像自己的职业名称 ( 导‘购’ ) 所暗示的那样,尝试卖给顾客别的东西:他把跟顾客要求最接近的东西推荐给他。”可见,一名优秀的导购是能成功将其他东西推

销给顾客的,故选A。

63.B

定位:根据题干信息cannot get exactly what he wants可将答案定位到第二段第一句。

解析:第二段描述的是如果商店没有与男人想象的完全一样的商品时,会出现

什么情况。题干的重点在于男人的反应,因此寻读到第二段结尾处,此处作者提到:“对于这种情况,男人很少会买账,他们一般都会说:‘也许衣服的颜色

和大小都合适,但要是让我试穿的话,既浪费了你的时间,也浪费了我的。”’

可见,在这种情况下,男人一般是什么都不会买的,故选 B。

64.C

定位:根据题干信息when shopping for clothes,women可将答案定位到第三段。

解析:第三段中提到:“女人总是肯听他人的劝说,她重视女店员的话,甚至是同

伴的话。她会什么都试穿一下。在她内心深处,她要找的衣服,是所有人都认

为适合她的。”可见,女士很容易听取他人的建议.故 C 项为正确答案,65.D

定位:根据题干信息the most obvious difference between men and women

可知解答本题需通观全文,但由于涉及女性的购物特点,因此可到第三段寻找线索。

解析:在讲男人买衣服的情况时,作者提到:“如果店里有货,销售员能及时

找到,而且马上就能试穿或试用.这一切顺利的话,整个交易一般在五分钟之内就可以完成。”在讲女人买衣服的情况时,作者提到:“面对一屋子衣服,她

们也许很容易就花上一个小时,一排排浏览,来来回回乐此不疲;她们会不时地折返脚步,直到发现自己想试穿的衣服。”因此,男人与女人在买衣服问题上最主要的区别就很明显了,故本题应选 D。

2020年大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案

As the pace of life continues to increase ,we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift,being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is an natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. In fact ,it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be .A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation adn give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress,and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress,in whatever form,we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme,but however little the stress,it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long,through continued exposure to stress,that health becomes endangered.Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress.Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could),we need to find ways to deal with it. 1.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____. a.they do not know how to enjoy themselves b.they do not believe that relaxation is important for health c.they are travelling fast all the time d.they are becoming busier with their work 2.According to the writer ,the most important character for a good manager is his ________. a.not fearing stress b.knowing the art of relaxation c.high sense of responsibility d.having control over performance 3.Which of the follwing statements is ture? a.We can find some ways to avoid stress b.Stress is always harmful to people

What is Integrity? "Integrity" is defined as "adherence to moral and ethical principles; honesty."The key to integrity is consistency--not only setting high personal standards for oneself (honesty, r esponsibility, respect for others, fairness) but also living up to those standards each day. One who has integrity is bound by and follows moral and ethical standards even when m aking life's hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation. What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disap pointed in ourselves and ashamed. But a lapse of integrity also affects our relationships w ith others. Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional. Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus, integrity must be one of our most important goals. Risky Business We are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then explorin g ways to avoid similar problems in the future. Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can't see the risks we're taking, we can't make responsi ble choices. To identify risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn't know the rules about plagiarism may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit, or one who fails to keep careful research notes may

大学英语四级阅读理解(1)We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(把......按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning. In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyse and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every

Despit occasional alarms, the country escaped any postwar depression and lived in a state of boom. A n economic survey of the year 1955, a typical year of the 1950’s, may be typical as illustrating the rapid economic growth of the decade. The national output was value at 10 percent above that of 1954 (1955 output was estimated at 392 billion dollars). The production of manufacturers was about 40 percent more than it had averaged in the years immediately following World War 2. The country’s business spent about 30billion dollars for new factories and machinery. National income available for spending was almost a third greater than it had been it had been in 1950.

大学英语四级考试中快速阅读的答题技巧 一:测试目的 快速阅读,顾名思义,它的目的在于测试考生单位时间当中的阅读量,其实四级对速度的考查是近几 年一直延续的一种结果。在2002年的时候,我们四级阅读平均每一篇文章阅读量是284个单词,2003年6月,每篇文章阅读量是300个单词。2005年一月份和六月份,平均阅读量是320到333个单词。这说明 一点,四级考试委员会对阅读速度这个能力早就有一个延续性的逐步的提高。同时,在解答题目方面,快 速阅读并不强调一定要像精读文章那样通篇认真研究,相反,快速阅读题目更强调测试考生在实践语言环 境中查询有效信息的能力,这也反映出四六级考试试图提升考生实际应用能力的改革方向。 二:测试形式 快速阅读要求考生在15分钟内完 成一篇1100字左右的文章和后面的10道题。前面7个题是判断正误(包括NOT GIVEN),后3个是填空题填根据阅读的理解,填三到四个单词(答案基本都是原文中出现的原词)。快速阅读的文章一般分为小标题+题目和无小标题+题目两种类型。这反映出四级考试从单纯的模仿托福的形式转向托福和雅思学习的融合。该题型需要通过略读和寻读法,乃至文章逻辑关系、标点符/号等方面的综合运用,实现对随后的题目有效的判断和填写。 三:基本要求 1.快速阅读的文章基本都是专业题材的文章,很多考生可能会觉得很陌生,但是对于CET-4 的快速阅读开始来说,只要求考生对题目所提到的信息在原文中能够找到即可,只是有时需要简 单的同义词替换 2.略读(Skimming)和寻读(Scanning)的能力在大学英语四级考试中显得尤为重要 3.快速阅读要求考生的阅读速度是每分钟110-140词

英语四级真题快速阅读题 Small Schools Rising This years list of the top 100 high schools shows that today, those with fewer students are flourishing. Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big, modern, suburban high schools with students counted in the thousands. As baby boomers(二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人) came of high-school age, big schools promised economic efficiency. A greater choice of courses, and, of course, better football teams. Only years later did we understand the trade-offs this involved: the creation of excessive bureaucracies(官僚机构),the difficulty of forging personal connections between teachers and students.SAT scores began dropping in 1963;today,on average,30% of students do not complete high school in four years, a figure that rises to 50% in poor urban neighborhoods. While the emphasis on teaching to higher, test-driven standards as set in No Child Left Behind resulted in significantly better performance in elementary(and some middle)schools, high schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress. Size isnt everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable countertrend toward smaller schools.

3 大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案(四) 十六 Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , fortunately,the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of obergrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way. First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseaed or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air. One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but itis a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the desease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hurs and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts yu make will bleed. If this does happen,it is, of course,impossible to paint them properly. 1.Pruning should be done to ______. a.make the tree grow taller
