12月英語四級仔細(xì)閱讀模擬試題 1
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.
Peoples 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 everyones benefit. The commonest thing nowadays is for family groups to motor out to a beautiful spot and park their cars in a lay-by ( 英國的路旁停車帶 ). 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.
56. In Britain it is very risky to __________.
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
57. At the end of the festival, many young fans__________.
A.were arrested by the police
B.had spent most of their money

58. Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large__________.
A.tracks through the open country
B.areas of country without soil
C.areas of countryside not developed
D.expanses of land where nobody works
59. Public pathways are created for people to__________.
A.commute to work
B.enjoy long-distance walking
C. wall to maritime counties
D.visit the historic or scenic sites
60. Family groups nowadays like to__________.
A.have meals out of doors by the road-side
B.go for a walk away from home
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 men simply 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 everyones 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 name implies, 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. "
Now how does a woman go 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 woman may 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.
【參考譯文】
人們對于休閑娛樂的品位大相徑庭。在英國懷特島最近舉辦的一次流行音樂節(jié)上,青少年們成群結(jié)隊地去聽他們最喜愛的歌手和音樂家演唱。[56]他們只買得起去音樂節(jié)的單程火車票,甚至不惜露宿街頭,在英國那種氣候條件下,即便是在八月份,他們的這種行為也是非常危險的。他們像沙丁魚一樣在音樂節(jié)上擠了四天。音樂節(jié)現(xiàn)場有數(shù)不清的盜賊,一伙暴徒幾次三番試圖搗亂,而且到處都是警察。[57]音樂節(jié)結(jié)束后,許多年輕歌迷發(fā)現(xiàn)自己身無分文,想要回家都很困難。大多數(shù)人都會認(rèn)為這種情形簡直像噩夢一樣叫人不爽,但是歌迷們似乎仍樂在其中。
[58]即便是在英國這樣擁擠的國家,也有一大片一大片未遭破壞的鄉(xiāng)村地區(qū),在那里,有著更多傳統(tǒng)品位的人們可以尋求安靜以及他們在同大自然接觸過程中產(chǎn)生的自由感。特別是在國家級公園所在的地區(qū),房產(chǎn)和工業(yè)的現(xiàn)代發(fā)展受到嚴(yán)格限制。游客可以步行幾英里,游覽極度迷人而又十分原始的風(fēng)景,以及大量歷史和科學(xué)景點。[59]一些海濱縣城修建了公路;這些公路沿著懸崖峭壁一直延伸,而這些峭壁則緊挨著大西洋或英吉利海峽。在內(nèi)陸還有另一條公路,沿國北部的山脈修成,被稱作奔寧公路。在這里,遠(yuǎn)途旅行者和熱愛大自然的人能夠收獲不少樂趣一而不會有被大批其他游人打攪的感覺。
國家級公園是為造福公眾而修建的,然而,很少有人能夠充分利用這一資源。[60]現(xiàn)下最為常見的事情就是,全家人一起開車去一個美麗的景點,將車停在路邊的停車帶。他們?nèi)安突@、折疊式桌椅、一把水壺和一臺便攜式火爐,然后在自己車的'附近安頓下來,開始一頓野餐。顯然,他們對娛樂的觀點是呼吸新鮮空氣,身處鄉(xiāng)間,不用行走一步就能欣賞美景,聽聞鄉(xiāng)村之聲。他們似乎很喜歡用耳朵和鼻子去感受鄉(xiāng)問的車馬交通。

Passage Two
【參考譯文】
買衣服對男人和女人來說是不同的經(jīng)歷。[61]男人去購物是因為他需要某些東西。他的目的是既定的,而且提前就做好了決定。他知道自己需要什么,而他的目的就是找到那個東西并買下來,價格倒在其次。[65]男人都是直接走進(jìn)商店,詢問店員自己想要買的東西。如果店里有貨,銷售員能及時找到,而且馬上就能試穿或試用,這一切順利的話,整個交易一般在五分鐘之內(nèi)就可以完成。雖然幾乎沒什么言語交談,但是買賣雙方各自都滿意。
[62]對于男人來說,如果商店沒有他想買的東西或者羞不完全符合他心里的條件,可能會引發(fā)一些小問題。在那種情況下,導(dǎo)購就要像自己的職業(yè)名稱(導(dǎo)“購”)所暗示的那樣,嘗試賣給顧客別的東西:他把跟顧客要求最接近的東西推薦給他。優(yōu)秀的導(dǎo)購都不會貿(mào)然向顧客推薦替代品,他會花一番心思和技巧。比如,他會說:“先生,我知道這件上衣不是您想要的樣式,但您能否試一下,看看大小合不合適。它的顏色剛好符合您的要求!盵63]對于這種情況,男人很少會買賬,他們一般都會說:“也許衣服的顏色和大小都合適,但要是讓我試穿的話:既浪費了你的時間,也浪費了我的。”
現(xiàn)在來看一下女人買衣服的過程是怎樣的呢?每個環(huán)節(jié)差不多都和男人相反。女人購物通常都不是因為有什么需求。她從來都沒完全決定自己想要買什么,只是“四處看看”。[64]女人總是肯聽他人的勸說,她重視女店員的話,甚至是同伴的話。她會什么都試窒一下。在她內(nèi)心深處,她要找的衣服,是所查人都認(rèn)為適合她的。與很多笑話里講的不同,很多女人在買衣服的時候還是精打細(xì)算的。她們總是在尋找意外的超值商品。[65]面對一屋子衣服,她們也許很容易就花上一個小時,一排排瀏覽,來來回回樂此不疲;她們會不時地折返腳步,直到發(fā)現(xiàn)自己想試穿的衣服。這是個累人的過程,但是很顯然,她們很享受這個過程。因此大部分服裝店都為那些等待的丈夫提供座椅。
【答案解析】
61.D
定位:根據(jù)題干信息when a man is buying clothes可將答案定位到文章前兩段。
解析:第一段中提到:“男人去購物是因為他需要某些東西。他的目的是既定的,而且提前就做好了決定。他知道自己需要什么,而他的目的就是找到那個東西并買下來,價格倒在其次!笨梢姡惺坎辉趺磿紤]價格,故選D。

63.B
定位:根據(jù)題干信息cannot get exactly what he wants可將答案定位到第二段第一句。
解析:第二段描述的是如果商店沒有與男人想象的完全一樣的商品時,會出現(xiàn)什么情況。題干的重點在于男人的反應(yīng),因此尋讀到第二段結(jié)尾處,此處作者提到:“對于這種情況,男人很少會買賬,他們一般都會說:‘也許衣服的顏色和大小都合適,但要是讓我試穿的話,既浪費了你的時間,也浪費了我的!薄梢姡谶@種情況下,男人一般是什么都不會買的,故選B。

Many people believe the glare from snow causes snowblindnenss. Yet, dark glasses or not , they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes,and even snowblindness,when exposed to several hours of "snow light" .
The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snowblindness in troops in a snow-covered country.Rather, a mans eyes frequently find nothing to foucs on in a broad expanse of barren snow-covered terrain. So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of tsomething to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never sotp searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature offsets this irritation by producing more and fluid which covers the eyeball. The fluid coversthe eyeball in increasing quantity until vision blurs, then is obsured,and the result is total, even though temporary,snowblindness.
Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape,Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight , dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus . The men following can then see something.Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see,stop scouring the snow-blanketed lanscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time,the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a solid white terrain is overcome.
1.To prevent headaches, watering eyes and blindness caused by the glare from snow, dark glasses are_____.
a.indispensible
b.useful
c.ineffective
d.available
2.When the eyes are sore tears are produced to ________.
a.clear the vision
b.remedy snowblindness
c.ease the irritation
d.loosen the muscles
3.Snowblindness may be avoided by_______.
a.concentrating to the solid white terrain
b.searching for something to look at in snow-covered terrain
c.providing the eyes with something to foucs on
d.covering the eyeballs with fluid
4.The scouts shake snow from evergreen bushes in order to _______.
a.bive the men behind something to see
b.beautify the landscape
c.warm themselves in the cold
d.prevent the men behind from losing their way
5.A suitable title for this passage would be _______.
a.snowblindness and how to overcome it
b.natrues cure for snowblindness
c.soldiers in the snow
d.snow vision
答案:CCCAA

The most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970s was the enthusiasm for refurnishing older building. Obviously, this was not an entirely new phenomenon. What is new is the whole scale in reusing the past, in recycling, in adaptive rehabilitation (更新 ). A few trial efforts, such as Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, proved their financial feasibility in the 1960s, but it was in the 1970s, with strong government support through tax incentives and rapid depreciation (貶值) , as well as growing interest in ecology (生態(tài)) issues, that recycling became a major factor on the urban scene. One of the most comprehensive ventures was the restoration and transformation of Bostons eighteenth century Faneuil Hall and the Quincy Market, designed in 1824. This section had fallen on hard times, but beginning with the construction of a new city hall immediately nearby, it has returned to life with the intelligent reuse of these fine old buildings under the design leadership of Benjamin Thompson. He has provided a marvelous setting for dining, shopping, professional office, and simply walking.
Butler Square, in Minneapolis, serves as an example of major changes in its complex of offices, commercial space, and public amenities carved out of a massive pile designed in 1906 as a hardware warehouse. The exciting interior timber structure of the building was highlighted by cutting light courts through the interior and adding large skylights.
San Antonio, Texas, offers a big object lesson for numerous other cities combating urban decay. Rather than bringing in the bulldozers ( 推土機) , San Antonios leaders rehabilitated existing structures, while simultaneously cleaning up the San Antonio River, which runs through the business district.
26. The main idea of the passage is_______.
A. during the 1970s, old building in many cities were recycled for modern use
B. recent interest in ecology issues has led to the cleaning up of many rivers
C. the San Antonio example shows that bulldozers are not the right way to fight urban decay
D. strong government support has made adaptive rehabilitation a reality in Boston
27. According to the passage, Benjamin Thompson was the designer for a project in
A. Boston B. San Francisco
C. Minneapolis D. San Antonio
28. The space at Quincy Market is now used as_______.
A. Bostons new city hall B. sports and recreational facilities
C. commercial and industrial warehouses D. restaurants, offices, and stores
29. What is the authors opinion of the San Antonios project?
A. It is clearly the best of the projects discussed.
B. It is a good project that could be copied by other cities.
C. The extensive use of bulldozers made the project unnecessarily costly.
D. The work done on the river was more important than work done on the buildings.
30. The passage states that the San Antonio project differed from those in Boston and Minneapolis in that_______.
A. it consisted primarily of new buildings
B. it occurred in the business district
C. it involved the environment as well as buildings
D. it was designed to combat urban decay
答案:26. A 27. A 28. D 29. C 30. B
