大学英语四级长篇匹配阅读20篇
大学英语四级考试阅读部分试题的第二部分是长篇匹配阅读，要求考生阅读一篇1000词左右的文章并完成10道题目。长篇匹配阅读考查考生运用专门的阅读技能来阅读文章的能力，包括用略读获取文章大意和用查读获取特定信息。
3.1大学英语四级长篇匹配阅读答题攻略
一、题型介绍
1．文章包括两类：带小标题的文章和无小标题的文章
带小标题的文章的每一部分都有一个总括性的小标题,通常这个小标题就是该部分内容的概括性总结，且每一小标题下的内容通常是相对独立的。
无小标题的文章没有明显的内容间隔,对于这类文章，需通过略读找出主题句或主题词，特别要注意每段的句首和句尾。
2．题目类型：句子表述对应文中段落
2006年6月～2007年6月，这部分是快速阅读部分，阅读后的题目为：前面7题为是非判断题，2007年12月～2013年6月的快速阅读部分的前面7题为选择题；后面3题题型不变，为填空题，要求考生根据文章内容把句子补充完整。而在2013年12月的四级考试，快速阅读变为长篇匹配阅读，篇章后附有10
个句子，每句一题。每句所含的信息出自篇章的某一段落，要求考生找出与每句所含信息相匹配的段落。有的段落可能对应两题，有的段落可能不对应任何一题。
二、命题规律
1．长篇匹配阅读题目设置时，将几句话整合或者将段落的大意、段落中的具体信息作为考察点。题目的顺序不再按文章顺序，而是打乱了，需要考生找到题目与文章项匹配的段落。
2．包含时间数字、大写字母、人名、地名、机构名称等特别的信息点处往往是命题的重点。
3．标点符号处常设考点。文章中的标点符号往往是为了更好地解释前面的内容，所以可以利用标点符号，如破折号、小括号、冒号等，推断不认识的单词或句子的含义。
三、定位技巧
长篇阅读篇幅长、时间短，因此如何快速确定答案所在的位置极其关键。选取定位词时有两个标准：特殊性和细节性。文章中多次出现的词汇不是定位词，只有那些出现次数少、具有明显识别性的词才是定位词。长篇匹配阅读的定位技巧与以前的快速阅读时定位类似。
题干中比较容易定位的关键词包括：
1．数字、地点、大写、斜体、人名的单词
数字包括时间、分数、百分数、货币数和普通数值等，这类词容易在原文中找到，可轻松定位。
例：Since the mid-1970s, the enrollment of overseas students has increased at an annual rate of 3.9 percent.（2013年12月样题）
地点一般都具有唯一性，其首字母是大写，考试时应注意原文中的不同地点会对应不同的信息。
例：The number of foreign students applying to U.S. universities decreased sharply after September 11 due to changes in the visa process.（2013年12月样题）
大写单词一般是组织机构等的缩写或是对某事物的特定称谓，在考查该地区、该事件等相关问题时作用时可帮助定位。
例：What kind of organization is Mindsets LLC?（2009年6月）
斜体一般是在考查与斜体相关的信息时出现，可在原文中快速找到。
人名通常是和某个机构名称或其职务连用，如Scott Friedhoff, Allegheny’s vice president，在考查某人的观点态度或研究发现时常利用人名进行定位。
例：What do Hong Kong diners welcome, according to Welsh executive chef David Tamlyn?（2011年6月）
2．拼写较长、以连字符连接的词
这类词在原文中的出现次数很少，因此可根据题干中的长难词有效确定答案的位置。
例：Present-day universities have become a powerful force for global integration.（2013年12月样题）
global integration表示“全球一体化”是常见的搭配，在文中很容易就能找到。3．文章小标题
长篇匹配阅读有时在文章中会出现多个小标题，而每个小标题后都对应特定主题的内容，做题时可根据题干信息找到相应小标题，缩小做题范围。
四、解题技巧
利用定位技巧找到题干在原文中的大体位置后，如何确定题目答案同样有迹可循。
1．注意逻辑关系词
在将题目与原文进行对应时，要学会挑拣有信息的地方精读，其中原文中表示逻辑关系的词要注意：
a.因果关系：as a result, therefore, hence, consequently, because, for, due to等。
b.并列、递进关系：and, or, then, in addition, besides, in other words, moreover 等。
c.转折关系：however, but, yet, in fact等。
d.表示比较：on the contrary; by contrast; compared with, ...than...等。
运用这些词可帮助确定题目的考查点，例如出现表示转折关系的词时，转折的作用一般是对前面的否定，对后面的肯定。
2．运用标点符号
要学会运用小括号、破折号、冒号等。通常这些标点符号是为了进一步解释前面的信息，而快速阅读的词汇相对来说比较简单，可以很容易理解标点前的被解释信息，因此在做题时可将这些符号之后的信息略去不读，从而节省做题时间。
3．同义替换
四级长篇匹配阅读部分，有时题目并不一定是原本的内容，而是使用了同义转换，因此做题时注意原文中换一种说法以后设置的题目。有的题考查文章主旨、段落大意，通常可在文章的首末句子、首末段落处查找。
五、解题步骤
在做长篇匹配阅读时，除了要有较快的阅读速度，还必须掌握一定的做题方法，考生可参照以下步骤进行答题：
1．先看题目定方向
长篇匹配阅读篇幅长、时间短，因此在做题时必须带着目的在原文中有选择有方向地阅读。考生应先看题目再看文章，首先利用题目中的时间、数字、大写、人名等关键词快速定位答案在原文中的位置，接着再读文章。
2．定位判断很轻松
相对于深度阅读而言，长篇匹配阅读中“找”甚于“懂”，因为它不像深度阅读的选项那样具有极强的干扰性，因此只要题干中的某些关键词出现在文中锁定的位置，就可以确定正确答案了。

Passage 1题材：社会生活字数：1170 建议用时：14分钟
Digital Book Is a True Revolution for Blind People
A) No longer do printed books torture me with all the things I’m missing, writes Peter White, who is blind. The book is a familiar theme. Indeed, it came up yet again in this newspaper’s letters pages earlier this week. The point of this latest evil speaking against the rise of the eBook was that physical books leave a trace, can be passed on, enhance a room, reignite a memory. And yet for most of my life, greedy and indiscriminate book reader though I am, the printed book has been nothing but a tease (取笑): a will-o’-the-wisp holding out what might be possible, only to grab it away as soon as I reach for it.
B) I was born blind, and reading for me has always meant braille (盲文). I’ve had much fun and satisfaction from books, but they are the one case where I’ve not been able to stick to my rule of not sorrowing for what I couldn’t have. With only a tiny proportion of books published available in braille—well less than 1%—the world’s literature was not so much offered up to you as hung in front of you.
C) It was a subtle form of torture: just enough to suck you in, no chance to do that reader’s thing, start to finish, in an orgy (狂欢) of excess. And this is where my love-hate relationship with the printed book, and the bookshop, starts. I remember going into them with my mum, running my fingers along the shelves, letting the edges of pages slip through my fingers. Was this, perhaps, Five Go Bungee-Jumping, or William and the Outlaws Learn to Rap? It’s been no better since I’ve been an adult, although instead of Blyton, Crompton and Frank Richards, I’ve obsessed about the latest Sebasti an Faulks, tacky bonkbuster or
political biography. I have all the sensory aspirations of the book-lover—the smell of the paper; the satisfying crack of opening a new book; the pleasingly rounded feel of the spine(脊背)—with none of the satisfaction of reading them.
D) I suppose at this point I had better anticipate stopping the flood of suggestions from puzzled well-wishers, wondering that I have not heard of the talking book. I have, of course, and very good some of them are—but it’s not reading, is it? Yet there’s good news. This column is not to be a sustained complaint. There is a happy ending. I have just spent much of my holiday browsing in bookshops—and not as a form of self-flagellation (自罚), but looking for books I am actually going to be able to read. The much-maligned (被毁谤) technological revolution has come up with the answer I thought I would never live to see: braille books, virtually on demand. It’s now possible, with the right combination of hardware and software, to buy a book at 9am, scan it page by page, and then use a screen-reader to render it either into synthetic speech, or into braille, and be reading it by lunchtime.
E) If this were all, it would be a great advance; but you don’t have to be tied to the computer to read your book. You can download it on to a flash card, which you can insert into a portable braille reader. Result: hundreds of books on each tiny card, at the touch of a button. Again, I know this is not new. It’s been around for at least 15 years. But I am a natural Luddite, and have had to go through the four stages of finding out about it, learning to believe that it had anything to do with me, figuring out physically how to do it, and finally allowing it to revolutionize my life.
F) There are drawbacks, some of which I’ll c ome to, but just let me glory for a little longer in the freedom to browse at all. I am now a familiar figure in the bookshops of Winchester, especially the secondhand ones, of which we’re lucky enough to have quite a few. It has to be mainly secondhand ones, because like a kid in a sweetshop, particularly a kid who wasn’t allowed sweets for a long time, I am in danger of gorging (狼吞虎咽) myself and making myself sick. Secondhand is the only way of keeping my spending under some sort of control.
G) I suspect I’m not a universally popular browser. I need a companion to find the right section, to read titles and reviews and maybe even the beginning of the book—all the things typical browsers do, but not aloud. I don’t find secondhand bookshops tedious—there’s go od-fellowship among book hunters—but even so, I sometimes feel the growing disapproval of the quiet carriage on the train: “We’ll stand one phone call, but not three.”
H) I’m quite happy with my companion-in-chief, a book-loving son who over the years has patiently read and abstracted books for me, and is now trying to decide
whether the role of browser and scanner-in-chief is more or less struggling. Over the past couple of weeks, in the delightful disordered chaos that is secondhand bookshops, I’ve manage d to pick up everything from a cultural survey of the Weimar republic to an essay on goalkeeping, via biographies as disconnected as Marie Antoinette and Kim Philby; try out authors whose names have caught my fancy in reviews, such as Alison Lurie; and make random decisions about what I read, rather than have those decisions made for me by the equally random fancy of the committee that decides what is put into braille. Suddenly, I can pursue impulses, such as my search for Cynthia Asquith’s ghost stories, o r a decent account of the South Africans in England in 1955.
I) It’s not perfect yet. Scanning books page by page is tedious; variations of type and print size can often produce equally variable results, which require skillful editing to make readable; and every time someone upgrades software or changes an operating system, you find yourself back at square one. With books being produced electronically as a matter of course, publishers, authors and agents could be much more helpful. Surely a way of making digital versions of books available to blind people prepared to pay for them, or borrow them under clearly defined conditions, could be devised without bringing down the publishing industry in an explosion of piracy? While we wait for the publishers and the blind organizations to get their fingers out, we blind readers take matters into our own hands, passing our scanned books quietly among ourselves like kids with drugs on street corners. But hey! For a few of us lucky enough to have the equipment, the money and the help, things are so much better today. Now it’s me who is able to take as many books on holiday as I like, all packed on those little cards, while my wife has to limit herself to three or four paperbacks. The days of War and Peace in 21 braille vo lumes, slipping the postman’s disc as he staggers up the path, are nearly over.
1．Now, instead of submitting to the decisions made by the equally random whim of the committee that decides what is put into braille, the author can make random decisions about what he reads.
2．Less less than 1% of books published are available in braille, thus the rise of ebooks will cause the author’s sorrow for the books.
3．The reason why the author mainly chooses the secondhand bookshops is thatin that way he can keep his spending under control.
4．The reason for recent evil speaking against the eBook was that physical books could be passed on and leave a trace while ebook could not.
5．The intention of the author’s spending much of his holiday browsing in bookshops was to look for books that he is able to read.
6．Now it’s the author’s wife who has to limit herself to three or four paperbacks, while the author can take as many books on holiday as he like, all packed on those little cards.
7．Compared with the normal book-lover, t he author can’t enjoy the content of reading the books.
8．The braille reader is not perfect yet for variations of type and print size can often produce equally variable results, which requires skilful editing to make readable.
9．The author chose to use the portable braille reader after 15 years since its invention because he needed some time to get to know it, learn it, and then use it. 10．Though he thinks the secondhand bookshops boring, the author sometimes feels the growing disapproval because of much ring of phones.

2019英语四级长篇阅读段落信息匹配题及答案解析(9) Deborah Kenny's "Born to Rise" Tells Story of Harlem Village Academies A) Deborah Kenny, CEO of the Harlem Village Academies, is frustrated with the nation's current education system. Unlike most, though, she decided to do something about it. Part declaration part record, her book Born to Rise writes down her journey toward creating and running her own system of progressive charter schools in Harlem in New York City. What is your educational philosophy? B) We want our students to receive the same high-quality education as students who are privileged to attend the best private schools in the country. Personally, I believe a progressive education is superior as long as it's delivered by really smart, talented teachers who know how to execute well. It's a sophisticated approach that really only works well in the hands of a really sophisticated educator. We're dealing with a little bit of a challenge because students enter this school from the regular public system. And when they enter in fifth grade, they're not yet well-trained in the basics reading, writing, and math--which means that we have to catch them up on basic math skills, on the 'basics of writing. And many of them come in at a kindergarten, first, second-grade level in reading. So we have to accelerate their mastery of the basics, but we reject the idea that if you do that you can't teach that at a high level. We push ourselves constantly to think about how we can make sure that our students will catch up while we teach at the highest possible

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

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

1、Writing Directions: for this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Is the Ban on Abusive Language Online Helpful? You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below. 1．对网上不文明语言的禁令引起热议 2．有人认为禁令有效，也有人认为禁令无意义 3．我的观点 Is the Ban on Abusive Language Online Helpful? Recently, the topic whether the ban on abusive language on the Internet is helpful or not has aroused great attention and debate. Some people believe it helpful while others doubt its effectiveness. Those in favor of this move state that imposing the ban on online abuse is a counterattack against the deterioration of the communication method on the Internet. More significantly, it’s no doubt that the ban gives positive guidance to either netizens or the public and helps encourage higher morality. However, other people oppose that the ban, as a matter of fact, is unnecessary and difficult to practice, for the users can well disguise their true identity. Furthermore, morality should be something rooted in an individual’s heart so to underline the ban will do nothing to encourage people to be more polite. Personally speaking, I agree with the former opinion. Abusive language online, in most cases illogical, is a desperate insult to suppress others’ ideas. Thus, ban concerning this issue can offer helpful instructions to the netizens. In addition, it also contributes to promoting the moral standards of the whole society.

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
