You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.?
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:?
American Indians played a central role in the war known as the American Revolution. To them, however, the dispute between the colonists and England was peripheral. For American Indians the conflict was a war for American Indian independence, and whichever side they chose, they lost it. Mary Brant was a powerful influence among the Iroquois. She was a Mohawk, the leader of the society of all Iroquois matrons, and the widow of Sir William Johnson, Superintendent of Indian Affairs. Her brother, Joseph Brant, is the best?known American Indian warrior of the Revolution, yet she may have exerted even more influence in the confederacy than he did. She used her influence to keep the western tribes of Iroquois loyal to the English king, George Ⅲ. When the colonists won the war, she and her tribe had to abandon their lands and retreat to Canada. On the other side, Nancy Ward held positions of authority in the Cherokee nation. She had fought as a warrior in the war against the Creeks and as a reward for her heroism was made “Beloved Woman” of the tribe. This office made her chief of the women’s council and a member of the council of chiefs. She was friendly with the white settlers and supported the Patriots during the Revolution. Yet the Cherokees too lost their land.

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.?
Born in 1830 in rural Amherst, Massachusetts, Emily Dickinson spent her entire life in the household of her parents. Between 1858 and 1862, it was later discovered, she wrote like a person possessed, often producing a poem a day. It was also during this period that her life was transformed into the myth of Amherst. Withdrawing more and more, keeping to her room, sometimes even refusing to see visitors who called, she began to dress only in white—a habit that added to her reputation as an eccentric.
In their determination to read Dickinson’s life in terms of a traditional romantic plot, biographers have missed the unique pattern of her life—her struggle to create a female life not yet imagined by the culture in which she lived. Dickinson was not the innocent, lovelorn and emotionally fragile girl sentimentalized by the Dickinson myth and popularized by William Luce’s 1976 play, the Belle of Amherst. Her decision to shut the door on Amherst society in the 1850’s transformed her house into a kind of magical realm in which she was free to engage her poetic genius. Her seclusion was not the result of a failed love affair, but rather a part of a more general pattern of renunciation through which she, in her quest for self?sovereignty, carried on an argument with the puritan fathers, attacking with wit and irony their cheerless Calvinist doctrine, their stern patriarchal God, and their rigid notions of “true womanhood”.
26.What’s the author’s main purpose in the passage?
A.To interpret Emily Dickinson’s eccentric behavior.
B.To promote the popular myth of Emily Dickinson.
C.To discuss Emily Dickinson’s failed love affair.
D.To describe the religious climate in Emily Dickinson’s time.
27.Which of the following is not mentioned as being one of Emily Dickinson’s eccentricities?
A.Refusing to eat. B.Wearing only white.
C.Avoiding visitors. D.Staying in her room.
28.According to the passage, biographers of Emily Dickinson have traditionally ____.
A.criticized most of her poems
B.ignored her innocence and emotional fragility
C.seen her life in romantic terms
D.blaming her parents for restricting her activities
29.The author implies that many people attribute Emily Dickinson’s seclusion to ____.
A.physical illness B.a failed love affair
C.religious fervor D.her dislike of people
30.It can be inferred from the passage that Emily Dickinson lived in a society that was characterized by ____.
A.strong Puritan beliefs
B.equality of men and women
C.the encouragement of nonconformity
D.the appreciation of poetic creativity
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.?
The railroad industry could not have grown as large as it did without steel. The first rails were made of iron. But iron rails were not strong enough to support heavy trains running at high speeds. Railroad executives wanted to replace them with steel rails because steel was ten or fifteen times stronger and lasted twenty times longer. Before the 1870’s, however, steel was too expensive to be widely used. It was made by a slow and expensive process of heating, stirring and reheating iron ore.
Then the inventor Henry Bessemer discovered that directing a blast of air at melted iron in a furnace would burn out the impurities that made the iron brittle. As the air shot through the furnace, the bubbling metal would erupt in showers of sparks. When the fire cooled, the metal had been changed, or converted to steel. The Bessemer converter made possible the mass production of steel. Now three to five tons of iron could be changed into steel in a matter of minutes.
Just when the demand for more and more steel developed, prospectors discovered huge new deposits of iron ore in the Mesabi Range, a 120?long region in Minnesota near Lake Superior. The Mesabi deposits were so near the surface that they could be mined with steam shovels.
Barges and steamers carried the iron ore through Lake Superior to depots on the southern shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie. With dizzying speed Gary, Indiana, and Toledo, Youngstown, and Cleveland, Ohio, became major steel?manufacturing centers. Pittsburgh was the greatest steel city of all.
Steel was the basic building material of the industrial age. Production skyrocketed from seventy?seven thousand tons in 1870 to over eleven million tons in 1900.
31.According to the passage, the railroad industry preferred steel to iron because steel was ____.
A.cheaper and more plentiful
B.lighter and easier to mold
C.cleaner and easier to mine
D.stronger and more durable
32.According to the passage, how did Bessemer method make the mass production of steel possible?
A.It directed air at melted iron in a furnace, removing all impurities.
B.It slowly heated iron ore then stirred it and heated it again.
C.It changed iron ore into iron which was a substitute for steel.
D.It could quickly find deposits of iron ore under the ground.
33.According to the passage, where were large deposits of iron uncovered?
A.In Pittsburgh. ?B.In the Mesabi Range.
C.Near Lake Michigan.?D.Near Lake Erie.
34.The words “Barges and steamers” could best be replaced by which of the following?
A.Trains.B.Planes.?C.Boats.?D.Trucks.
35.It can be inferred from the passage that the mass production of steel caused ____.
A.a decline in the railroad industry
B.a revolution in the industrial world
C.an increase in the price of steel
D.a feeling of discontent among steel workers
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
There were two widely divergent influences on the early development of statistical methods. Statistics had a mother who was dedicated to keeping orderly records of governmental units (state and statistics come from the same Latin root, status) and a gentlemanly gambling father who relied on mathematics to increase his skill at playing the odds in games of chance. The influence of the mother on the offspring, statistics, is represented by counting, measuring, describing, tabulating, ordering, and the taking of censuses—all of which led to modern descriptive statistics. From the influence of the father came modern inferential statistics, which is based squarely on theories of probability.
Descripitive statistics involves tabulating, depicting, and describing collections of data. These data may be either quantitative, such as measures of height, intelligence, or grand level—variables that are characterized by an underlying continuum—or the data may represent qualitative variables, such as sex, college major, or personality type. Large masses of data must generally undergo a process of summarization or reduction before they are comprehensible. Descriptive statistics is a tool for describing or summarizing or reducing to comprehensible from the properties of an otherwise unwieldy mass of data.
Inferential statistics is a formalized body of methods for solving another class of problems that present great difficulties for the unaided human mind. This general class of problems characteristically involves attempts to make prediction using a sample of observations. For example, a school superintendent wishes to determine of the proportion of children in a large school system who come to school without breakfast, have been vaccinated for flu, or whatever. Having a little knowledge of statistics, the superintendent would know that it is unnecessary and inefficient to question each child; the proportion for the entire district could be estimated fairly accurately from a sample of as few as 100 children. Thus, the purpose of inferential statistics is to predict or estimate characteristics of a population from a knowledge of the characteristics of only a sample of the population.
36.With what is the passage mainly concerned?
A.The drawbacks of descriptive and inferential statistics.
B.Applications of inferential statistics.
C.The development and use of statistics.
D.How to use descriptive statistics.
37.Why does the author mention the “mother” and “father” in the first paragraph?
A.To point out that parents can teach their children statistics.
B.To introduce inferential statistics.
C.To explain that there are different kinds of variables.
D.To present the background of statistics in a humorous and understandable way.
38.Which of the following is NOT given as an example of qualitative variable?
A.Gender. B.Height.
C.College major. D.Type of personality.
39.Which of the following statements about descriptive statistics is best supported by the passage?
A.It simplifies unwieldy masses of data.
B.It leads to increased variability.
C.It solves all numerical problems.
D.It changes qualitative variables to quantitative variables.
40.According to the passage which is the purpose of examining a sample of a population?
A.To compare different groups.
B.To predict characteristics of the entire population.
C.To consider all the quantitative variables.
D.To tabulate collections of data.

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation.To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words.In 1 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 2 can mean the difference between success and failure.Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 3 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 4 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 5 in the actual stuff of language itself-words.Taken individually, words have 6 meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. 7 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words.He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 8 words or passages.Regression, the tendency to look back over 9 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading.Another habit which 10 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 11 reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 12 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed.The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 13 the reader finds comfortable, in order to“stretch”him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 14 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first 15 is sacrificed for speed.But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 16 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 17 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 18 Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 19 the training,now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute.He is delighted that how he can 20 a lot more reading material in a short period of time.

Cloze Test 4答案
1.【答案】D
【解析】本句意思是“誰如果想謀得一份差事”。applying需加for,意思是“申請”；B.doing做；C.offering提供此三項均不符題意， 只有D.getting(獲得)適合。
2.【答案】A
【解析】本句意為“快速閱讀與理解的能力，是關系到成敗的關鍵所在”只有quickly與原意吻合。easily(容易地)；roughly (粗略地)； decidedly(果斷地)均與原文內(nèi)容不符。
3.【答案】C
【解析】英語中，閱讀速度快的人稱為good reader，反之，就是poor reader。
根據(jù)上下文的內(nèi)容，多數(shù)人都屬于poor reader，因此選poor(差的)。其它選項不妥。
4.【答案】B
【解析】此處的意思是“大多數(shù)人早期養(yǎng)成看書慢的習
慣”因此選habits(習慣)。training (訓練，培訓)；situations(形勢)；custom(風俗習慣)。
5.【答案】A
【解析】此處說的是“主要的困難在于語言的自身要素，即單詞”。combines聯(lián)合；touches接觸；involves包括，這三項的詞義與原文不符。而lies與in構成搭配，意為“在于”。
6.【答案】C
【解析】這里的意思是“如果單個地看這些字，它們并沒有什么意義”。some有點；A lot許多；dull單調的。此三項不合題意。只有l(wèi)ittle(很少)是否定詞，合乎邏輯。
7.【答案】D
【解析】此句意為“作者對未受過閱讀訓練的人的不良習慣感到遺憾”。
Fortunately幸運地；In fact事實上；Logically合乎邏輯地,均不妥。
Unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句義。
8.【答案】B
【解析】此句意為“在閱讀時經(jīng)常重讀(反復讀)”因此，選reread重讀。reuse再使用；Rewrite改寫；recite背誦。
9.【答案】A
【解析】此處所填的'詞既是look back over的賓語，又是you have just read的賓語，只有what能充當這種雙重成分。
10.【答案】C 【解析】scales down按比例減少；cuts down削減；此兩項不合題意。
measures不能與down搭配。只有slow與down搭配的意思“放慢”，在此合適。
11.【答案】B
【解析】本段前文已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)you，在此選one(泛指人們，我們，你)來代替you。some one無此用法。如果用reader，前面應加定冠詞。he不能與該段邏輯一致。
12.【答案】A
【解析】此句意為“訓練快速閱讀所使用的工具必然與提高閱讀速度有關”，因此選accelerator (快讀器)。actor演員；amplifier放大器；observer觀察者。
13.【答案】D
【解析】前面的faster決定了應當選than，構成比較級。
14.【答案】C
【解析】此句意為“快速閱讀器迫使你加快閱讀速度，使你再也不能逐字閱讀，回顧前文內(nèi)容或者默讀”。enabling相當于making possible；leading引導；indicating指出，表明。都不合題意。只有making (使，使得)最合適。
15.【答案】B
【解析】這里的意思是“速讀最初會影響理解”，所以選comprehension(理解力)。meaning意義，意思，指詞或詞組表示的意義；gist大意，要旨regression回顧
16.【答案】A
【解析】與前半句中的not only相呼應，構成句式“不僅……，而且……”，只有選but，而nor；or或for均不能構成固定用法。
17.【答案】C
【解析】本句中的主語是第三人稱復數(shù)，物主代詞必然是their。
18.【答案】B
【解析】take與后面的for instance構成短語，意為：“以……例”，其它三項不能構成搭配。
19.【答案】D
【解析】這里提到受訓之前與受訓之后進行比較,對比，因此選before。
20.【答案】D
【解析】此處意為：在較短時間內(nèi)，讀完眾多的材料。master掌握；go over復習；present呈現(xiàn)，展現(xiàn)；此三項均不妥；只有get through (讀完)最恰當。

6月大學英語四級考試模擬題 篇10
In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答問卷者)listed “to give children a good start academically”as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.
In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (強調個性發(fā)展的)Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.
Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children‘s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.
16.We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe ________.
A) Japanese parents are more involved in preschool education than American parents
B) Japan‘s economic success is a result of its scientific achievements
C) Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instruction
D) Japan‘s higher education is superior to theirs
17.Most Americans surveyed believe that preschools should also attach importance to ________.
A) problem solving
B) group experience
C) parental guidance
D) individually-oriented development
18.In Japan‘s preschool education, the focus is on ________.
A) preparing children academically
B) developing children‘s artistic interests
C) tapping children‘s potential
D) shaping children‘s character
19.Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in order to ________.
A) broaden children‘s horizon
B) cultivate children‘s creativity
C) lighten children‘s study load
D) enrich children‘s knowledge
20.Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university -based kindergartens?
A) They can do better in their future studies.
B) They can accumulate more group experience there.
C) They can be individually oriented when they grow up.
D) They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education.
6月大學英語四級考試模擬題 篇11
Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to “l(fā)ight”beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. The Centers for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to shed pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet.
In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure charts:for example, one would have to briskly walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry (小甜餅). Even exercise professionals concede half a point here. “Exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight, ”says York Onnen, program director of the President‘s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.
Still, exercise‘s supporting role in weight reduction is vital. A study at the Boston University Medical Center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.
If you have been sedentary (極少活動的)and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year‘s time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.
26.What is said about the average American in the passage?
A) They tend to exaggerate the healthful effect of “l(fā)ight”beer.
B) They usually ignore the effect of exercise on losing weight.
C) They prefer “l(fā)ight”beer and low-calorie bread to other drinks and food.
D) They know the factors that play a positive role in keeping down body weight.
27.Some people dislike exercise because ________.
A) they think it is physically exhausting
B) they find it hard to exercise while on a diet
C) they don‘t think it possible to walk 3 miles every day
D) they find consulting caloric-expenditure charts troublesome
28.“Even exercise professionals concede half a point here”(Line 3, Para. 2)means “They ________”.
A) agree that the calories in a small piece of pastry can be difficult to work off by exercise
B) partially believe diet plays a supporting role in weight reduction
C) are not fully convinced that dieting can help maintain one‘s new weight
D) are not sufficiently informed of the positive role of exercise in losing weight
29.What was confirmed by the Boston University Medical Center‘s study?
A) Controlling one‘s calorie intake is more important than doing exercise.
B) Even occasional exercise can help reduce weight.
C) Weight reduction is impossible without exercise.
D) One could lose ten pounds in a year‘s time if there‘s no increase in food intake.
30.What is the author‘s purpose in writing this article?
A) To justify the study of the Boston University Medical Center.
B) To stress the importance of maintaining proper weight.
C) To support the statement made by York Onnen.
D) To show the most effective way to lose weight.

6月大學英語四級考試模擬題 篇12
For centuries, in the countries of south and Southeast Asia the elephant has been an intimate part of the culture, economy and religion, and nowhere more so than in Thailand. Unlike its African cousin, the Asian elephant is easily domesticated (馴化). The rare so-called white elephants have actually lent the authority of kingship to its rulers and until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background.To the early Western visitors the country’s romantic name was “Land of the White Elephant”.
Today, however, the story is very different. Out of work and out of land, the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs it. The elephant has found itself more or less abandoned by previous owners who have moved on to a different economic world and a westernized society. And while the elephant’s problems began many years ago, now it rates a very low national priority.
How this reversal from national icon (圣像) to neglected animal came about is a tale of worsening environmental and the changing lives of the Thais themselves. According to Richard Lair, Thailand’s experts on the Asian elephant and author of the report Gone Astray, at the turn of the century there may well have beenas many as 100,000 domestic elephants in the country. In the north of Thailand alone it was estimated that more than 20,000 elephants were employed in transport, 1,000 of them alone on the road between the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Saen. This was at a time when 90 per cent of Thailand was still forest—a habitat (棲息地) that not only supported the animals but also made them necessary to carry goods and people. Nothing ploughs through dense forest better than a massive but sure-footed elephant.
By 1950 the elephant population had dropped to a still substantial 13,397, but today there are probably nomore than 3,800, with another 1,350 roaming free in the national parks. But now, Thailand’s forest coversonly 20 per cent of the land. This deforestation (采伐森林) is the central point of the elephant’s difficult situation, for it has effectively put the animals out of work. This century, as the road network grew, so the elephant’s role as a beast of burden declined.

1.[B] 事實細節(jié)題。本題考查對比處。根據(jù)文章第l段第3句：和非洲象不同，亞洲象容易馴養(yǎng)，言下之意就是：非洲象不易馴養(yǎng)。答案中用tame替代原文的domesticate，意思相同。選項A與原文意思正好相反;選項C，D原文根本未提到。
2.[B] 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第l段第4句中的“until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background.”可知當時白象是泰國的國家象征，因此B為正確選項。本題最具干擾性的是選項D，在形式上，選項D與第1段最后一句極為相似，但是，游客這樣稱呼泰國，原因也是因為白象是泰國的象征，而不只是因為這個名字浪漫，因此，選項D是對原文的曲解;選項A和選項C雖然也來自文章，但不是原因，不能回答所提問題。
3.[A] 推理判斷題。文章有幾處解釋了大象失業(yè)的原因，如第2段的第2句“a nation that no longer needs it (Thai elephant)”及最后一段的最后一句“the elephant’s role as a beast of burden declined”等。選項A是對這些解釋的一個基本概括。選項B中westernized和neglect雖在文章中出現(xiàn)，但選項B只是對想像的描述，不能解釋大象“失業(yè)”的`原因。選項C來自第2段最后一句話，但這句話只能說明大象不再受重視，不能作為大象“失業(yè)”的理由。選項D原文未提及，而且，從第3、4段可以看出：大象的數(shù)量急劇下降，談不上“太多”。
4.[D] 事實細節(jié)題。此題考查的是大象數(shù)量變化的情況。四個選項中的數(shù)字惟有選項D沒有直接出現(xiàn)，但根據(jù)第4段第l句很容易推算出來。選項A和B雖用了原文的數(shù)據(jù)，但選項A忽略了may這個詞，而且未點明泰國，故不妥。B則忽略了in the north of Thailand及more than這兩處。選項C中的small與原文substantial(大量的)沖突，也不對。
5.[C] 主旨大意題。從本文所用的大量客觀的數(shù)據(jù)和數(shù)字可以推斷這是一篇研究報告。本文趣味性不足，因此不能選A。選項B不能選，是因為歷史書不可能如此大篇幅的描述大象的問題。選項D也不是正確答案，因為政府公告通常是一些規(guī)定，而不是客觀的陳述。

6月大學英語四級考試模擬題 篇14
Lead deposits, which accumulated in soil and snow during the 1960‘s and 70‘s, were primarily the result of leaded gasoline emissions originating in the United States. In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated unleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation worldwide has decreased significantly.
A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic (北極的)snow were declining.
In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian and Canadian gasolines and thus enabled scientists to differentiate (區(qū)分)the lead sources. The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from the United States.
In a study published in the journal Ambio, scientists found that lead levels in soil in the Northeastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline.
Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period.
The authors of the Ambio study examined samples of the upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990 The forest environment processed and redistributed the lead faster than the scientists had expected.
Scientists say both studies demonstrate that certain parts of the ecosystem (生態(tài)系統(tǒng))respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findings should not be used as a license to pollute.
21.The study published in the journal Nature indicates that ________.
A) the Clean Air Act has not produced the desired results
B) lead deposits in arctic snow are on the increase
C) lead will stay in soil and snow longer than expected
D) the US is the major source of lead pollution in arctic snow
22.Lead accumulation worldwide decreased significantly after the use of unleaded gas in the US ________.
A) was discouraged
B) was enforced by law
C) was prohibited by law
D) was introduced
23.How did scientists discover the source of lead pollution in Greenland?
A) By analyzing the data published in journals like Nature and Ambio.
B) By observing the lead accumulations in different parts of the arctic area.
C) By studying the chemical elements of soil and snow in Northeastern America.
D) By comparing the chemical compositions of leaded gasoline used in various countries.
24.The authors of the Ambio study have found that ________.
A) forests get rid of lead pollution faster than expected
B) lead accumulations in forests are more difficult to deal with
C) lead deposits are widely distributed in the forests of the US
D) the upper layers of soil in forests are easily polluted by lead emissions
25.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that scientists ________.
A) are puzzled by the mystery of forest pollution
B) feel relieved by the use of unleaded gasoline
C) still consider lead pollution a problem
D) lack sufficient means to combat lead pollution
6月大學英語四級考試模擬題 篇15
About 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet.
The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture writing and pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. Some of these pictures are like modern comic strip stories. It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip. But, for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people could not understand it. By the year 1,000 BC, people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign, or letter, represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greek alphabet. The Romans copied the idea, and the Roman alphabet is now used all over the world.
These days, we can write down a story, or record information, without using pictures. But we still need pictures of all kinds: drawing, photographs, signs and diagrams. We find them everywhere: in books and newspapers, in the street, and on the walls of the places where we live and work. Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily, and they can make a story much more interesting.
1. Pictures of animals were painted on the walls of caves in France and Spain because______.
A. the hunters wanted to see the pictures B. the painters were animal lovers
C. the painters wanted to show imagination D. the pictures were thought to be helpful
2. The Greek alphabet was simpler than the Egyptian system for all the following reasons EXCEPT that______.
A. the former was easy to write
B. there were fewer signs in the former C. the former was easy to pronounce D. each sign stood for only one sound
3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The Egyptian signs later became a particular alphabet. B. The Egyptians liked to write comic strip stories.
C. The Roman alphabet was developed from the Egyptian one. D. The Greeks copied their writing system from the Egyptians.
4. In the last paragraph, the author thinks that pictures ______.
A. should be made comprehensible B. should be made interesting C. are of much use in our life D. have disappeared from our life
答案解析
1. D) 根據(jù)文章第一段第五行“Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals.”可知古代人以為在墻上畫畫會對他們有所幫助，故選項D為正確答案。
2. C) 在做此類題時要注意題干的要求。通過閱讀文章第四段很清楚就知道選項C “前者容易發(fā)音”在文中沒有提及，故為正確答案。
3. A) 可用排除法來做本題。通過閱讀文章很清楚選項B和D為錯誤陳述。選項C “羅馬字母是從埃及字母發(fā)展而來的`”根據(jù)文章第四段第四，五句可知為錯誤論述，因此只有選項A為正確答案。
4. C) 文章最后一段講述了圖畫在今天的用途，故選項C為正確答案
