专四完形填空新题型模拟题(1)Complaints should be made to a responsible person. Go back to the shop where you bought the goods, taking with you any (36) you may have. Ask to see the buyer in a large store. In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain (37). In a chain store ask to see the manager.Even the bravest person finds it difficult to complain face to face, so if you do not want to do it in (38) , write a letter. Be sure to(39)to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. At this stage you should give any receipt numbers, but you should not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article. If you are not (40) with the answer you get, or if you do not get a reply, write to the managing director of the firm, shop, or organization. Be sure to keep copies of your own letters and any you receive.If your complaint is a just one, the shopkeeper may offer to (41) or repair the faulty article. You may find this an (42) solution. In certain cases you may have the right to refuse the goods and ask for your money back , but this is only where you have hardly used the goods and have acted at once. Even when you cannot refuse the goods you may be able to get some money back as well. And if you have suffered some (43) loss, if for example a new washing machine tears your clothes, you might receive money to replace them. If the shopkeeper offers you a credit note to be used to buy goods in the same shops but you would rather have money, say so. If you accept a credit note remember that later you will not be able to ask for your money. If the shopkeeper refuses to give you money, ask for (44) from your Citizens' Advice Bureau before you accept a credit note. In some cases the shopkeeper does not have to give you your money back--if, for example, hechanges an article simply because you don't like it or it does not fit.

In this (36), every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us.To the professional anthropologist (人类学家), there is no intrinsic(37)of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy(等级制度) among languages.People once thought of the languages of backward groups as (38) and undeveloped forms of speech, consisting largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of "backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex, delicate, and ingenious pieces of machinery for the (39) of ideas. They fall behind our Western languages not in their sound patterns or (40 ) structures, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which(41)the objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this department, however, two things are to be noted: 1. All languages seem to (42) the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. 2. The objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in "backward" languages, while different from ours, are often surprisingly (43) and complicated.This study of language, in turn, (44) a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to be viewed (45), and without ideas of rank or hierarchy.A. savageB. superiorityC. conceiveD. transferE. identificationF. grammaticalG. reflectH. revealsI. numerous J . independentlyK. exclusive L. casts M. sense N. confidentially O. possess专四完形填空新题型模拟题(3)In the second half of the twentieth century, many countries of the South began to send students to the industrialized countries for further education. They (36) needed supplies of highly trained personnel to (37) a concept of development based on modernization. But many of these students decided to stay on in the developed countries when they had finished their training.In the 1960s, some Latin American countries tried to solve this problem by setting up special "return" programs to encourage their professionals to come back home. These programs received support from international bodies such as the International Organization for Migration, which in 1974enabled over 1,600(38)scientists and technicians to return to Latin America.In the 1980s and 1990s, "temporary return" programs were set up in order to make the best use of trained personnel (39) strategic positions in the developed countries. This gave rise to the United Nations Development Program's Transfer of Knowledge through Expatriate Nationals, which encourages technicians and scientists to work in their own countries for short periods. But the brain drain from these countries may well increase in (40) to the new laws of the international market in knowledge.Recent studies (41) that the most developed countries are going to need more and more highly qualified professionals around twice as many as their educational systems will be able to produce, or so it is thought. As a (42) there is an urgent need for developing countries which send students abroad to give (43) to fields where they need competent people to give muscle to their own institutions, instead of encouraging the training of people who may not come back because there are no professional outlets for them. And the countries of the South must not be content with institutional structures that simply take back professionals sent abroad; they must introduce (44) administrative procedures to encourage them to return. If they do not do this, the brain drain is (45) to continue.A. forecastB. flexibleC. neutrallyD. preferenceE. detachF. boundG. implementH. consequenceI. qualifiedJ. dismissingK. result L.occupying M. urgently N . skeptical O . response专四完形填空新题型模拟题(4)Complaints should be made to a responsible person.

They have developed a hitlist of our main fears: natural resources are(1)out? the population is ever growing, leaving less and less to eat? species are becoming (2)in vast numbers, and the planet's air and water are becoming ever more polluted.But a quick look at the facts shows a different picture. First, energy and other natural resources have become more(3)not less so, since the book 'The Limits to Growth' was published in 1972 by a group of scientists. Second, more food is now produced per 4 of the world's population than at any time in history. Fewer people are (5) . Third, although species are indeed becoming extinct, only about 0.7% of them are expected to disappear in the next 50 years, not 25~50%, as has so often been(6). And finally, most forms of environmental pollution either appear to have been (7), or are transient - associated with the early stages of industrialization and therefore best cured not by restricting economic growth, but by(8)it. One form of pollution - the release of greenhouse gases that causes global warming - does appear to be a phenomenon that is going to extend well into our future, but its total impact is unlikely to(9)a devastating (令人心神不安的) problem. A bigger problem may well turn out to be an inappropriate response to it.Yet opinion polls suggest that many people nurture the belief that environmental standards are declining and some factors seem to cause this disjunction between (10)and reality.A) pose B) exaggerated C) acceleratingD) extinct E) exist F) perceptionG) wealthy H) magnified I) starvingJ) head K) running L) predictedM) abundantN) conceptionO) reducing专四完形填空新题型模拟题(6)During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, migrations have taken place within (11) countries; the cities with their industries have attracted people away from the country. The possibility of earning a fixed (12) in a factory or office was more attractive than the possibility of staying on the farm and having one's work (13) by frost, storms, or droughts. Furthermore, thedevelopment of agricultural machinery made it possible for fewer people to do the same (14) of work.Thus, at the same time when the industrial revolution made it possible to produce goods more (15) and more quickly in factories, agricultural revolution also took place. Instead of leaving fields empty every third year, farmers began to plant clover or some other crop that would (16) the soil. Instead of using only animal fertilizer, farmers began to use chemical fertilizers to keep the soil rich. These methods have enabled French farmers, for example, to get five times as much wheat as was (17) from the same land two centuries ago.In many countries farmers find it more (18) to raise only one crop or one kind of animal. They choose the kind that gives the best results. Then they sell all that they produce, instead of trying to grow a little of everything and consume what they grow. This is a more feasible type of (19) because modern methods and machinery are adapted to specific animals and specific crops. Therefore, it would be too expensive to do all the work by hand, or to buy the (20) needed for several different kinds of farming.A. salary E. deserted I. equivalent M. destroyedB. freely F. operation J. enrich N. certainC. profitable G.amount K. fruitful O. cheaplyD. obtained H. payment L. equipment专四完形填空新题型模拟题(7)Like most parents, geologist Brain Atwater worries about his daughter's safety. But these days, he has an unusual concern; The public school she (11) in Seattle has unreinforced brick walls, a (12) being easy to collapse during earthquakes. The same (13) of walls crushed hundreds of thousands of people during the 1976 Tangshan quake in China.A decade ago, Atwater would have paid little notice to schoolroom walls. But over the last several years, he and other scientists have found (14) signs that the Pacific Northwest has experienced giant quakes in the distant past and that the area may be headed for a destructive shock in the near future.At a meeting of the American Geophysical Union in December, researchers discussed the (15) uncovered evidence of quake potential in the Pacific Northwest. While someremain unconvinced that huge earthquakes—with magnitudes of 8 or higher—do indeed (16) this region, a growing number consider such shocks a serious possibility.What's worrisome, they say, is that northwestern cities such as Portland, Seattle and Vancouver have not prepared for earthquakes of this magnitude, which could shake the region's (17) centers with enough force to make the recent San Francisco area damage seem (18) in comparison."I think it's quite true to say that nothing has really been designed with one of these earthquakes in mind," says seismologist Paul Somerville of Woodward. At the meeting, Somerville and his colleagues (19) estimates of the degree of shaking.

There may still be a trillion barrels of recoverable oil in the Middle East. But the oil crisis of 1974 has (11) to renewed interest in coal and to a search for (12)sources of energy. Solar, geothermal, and nuclear energy will play a large role in the years to come.Solar energy is available in (13)forms. Buildings can be heated and cooled by direct use of solar radiation, crops and trees, which are the most efficient converters of sunlight into energy, can be grown for their energy potential, wastes can be burned as(14), sunlight can be converted into DC (direct current) electricity, electric power can be (15)from the sun-warmed surface waters of the ocean, and lastly, solar radiation can be converted into heat that will drive electric power generators. Serious problems still remain as to (16)and storage of solar energy.Geothermal energy is the energy contained within the earth. Heat is abundantly available deep in the earth's core and is constantly being produced. However, this heat is usually located at too deep a level for (17)exploitation. In short, very little is known on the use of geothermal energy, and it has (18)been exploited.Nuclear energy is produced in nuclear power plants. At these plants atoms of uranium are split, thus (19)masses of energy. Another source of energy under development is the nuclear fusion of certain atoms of hydrogen. This could eventually (20)natural gas as a source of energy.A. rarelyB.transformationC.fuelD.replaceE. ledF.alternativemercial H.briefly I. derivedJ.various K.relieving L.releasingM. transportation N.financial O.described专四完形填空新题型模拟题(9)The economy of the United States after 1952 was the economy of a well-fed, almost fully employed people. Despite (11)alarms, the country escaped any postwar depression and lived in a (12)of boom. An economic survey of the year 1955, a typical year of the 1950's, may be typical as (13)the rapid economic growth of thedecade. The national output was (14)at 10 percent above that of 1954(1955 output was estimated at 392 billion dollars). The production of manufactures was about 40 percent more than it had (15)in the years immediately following World War I . The country's business spent about 30 billion dollars for new factories and machinery. National income (16)for spending was almost a third greater than it had been in 1950. Consumers spent about 256 billion dollars; that is about 700 million dollars a day, or about twenty-five million dollars every hour, all round the (17) . Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than two million wanted jobs but could not find them. Only agriculture(18 )that it was not sharing in the boom. To some observers this was a sad reflection of the mid-1920's. As farmers' share of their products (19), marketing costs rose. But there were, among the observers of the national economy, a few who were not as confident as the majority. Those few seemed to fear that the boom could not last long and would(20)lead to the opposite—depression.A. eventuallyB.averagedC.graduallyD.stateE. valuedF.formG.declinedH.occasionalI. casual J.argued K.descended plainedM. clock N.available O.illustrating专四完形填空新题型模拟题(10)Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now (11) . Just a few years ago, it was (12)impolite behaviorfor a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a (13)of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it (14)? What about table manners? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should you leave one in your lap, or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also (15)a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time.

The 11 in these rings relates to the physical conditions which the tree experiences. Thus, trees grown in a 12 area and time each develop a pattern or configuration of their rings.This 13 was of little significance until Andrew E. Douglas began to study tree rings in Arizona in 1900. Using a technique called cross dating, he was able to employ tree rings to the study of archaeological sites and date theruins with 14 . Some were as old as 6700 B. C. ! This study of tree rings is called dendrochronology.In time the cross dating was 15 by a carbon 14 process. This approach measured the amount of carbon 14 radiating from a piece of wood and 16 to determine the age of that wood. Further use of the carbon 14 technique has shown that the radiation process is more plex and less 17 than hadbeen at first thought.The most 18 aspect of tree ring research is now calleddendroclimatology.

A.excursion B.travel C.journey D.Trip1.【答案】A【解析】根据下一句及随后的内容,作者讲的是怎样成为动物爱好者的(从小就喜欢动物),应当选择A.how。
2.【答案】C【解析】in the first place是固定短语,意思是“首先”。
此句意思是:别人经常问到的问题之一,是当初我是如何爱上动物的。
3.【答案】A【解析】这句话的意思是:作者在呀呀学语之时,最早发清楚的音是“zoo”(动物园),而不是“妈妈”,“爸爸”,因此,应选clarity“清晰”。
填入其他选项emotion (感情),sentiment(多愁善感),affection(友爱)不合逻辑。
4.【答案】B【解析】but在此处连接另一个句子(it was the word“zoo”,“it was”被省略),表示转折,意为“而是”,Except,except for,but for的用法接近,表示“除了……”。
例如:We go there every day except Sunday.He answered all the questions except for the last one.For a year the dam remained complete but for the generators.从意思上,逻辑上,都应当选but。
5.【答案】D【解析】根据后面的over and over again,应选“repeat”6.【答案】C【解析】小孩想去动物园,便不停地发出尖叫声,故选“voice”。
A shrill voice与scream的意思接近。
volume(音量);noise(噪音);pitch(音调)均不合要求。
7.【答案】B【解析】shut sb.up是指让某人住口,为了让孩子停止尖叫,只好带他去动物园。
8.【答案】A【解析】根据后面主句的时态,此处只能用一般过去时。
9.【答案】C【解析】a great many后直接跟可数名词的复数形式;a great / large amount of后跟不可数名词;只有a great /large number of后可以跟可数名词的复数形式。
例如:I read a great many English books.A large amount of money is spent on tobacco every year.A great number of civilians were murdered in cold blood.10.【答案】D【解析】living后必须接介词in,意为“居住”;cultivating耕种;reclaiming 开垦;只有exploring有探察的意思。
11.【答案】C【解析】add to相当于increase,增加。
其余选项后面都不接to。
12.【答案】A【解析】later on为固定短语,“后来”。
13.【答案】D【解析】attendant仆人;keeper可理解为“饲养员”,但是a student keeper 容易被误解为“收留学生的人”;aide有“助手”之义。
作者一边上学,一边在动物园里打工,只能当助手。
14.【答案】D【解析】which在此引导定语从句,修饰前面列出的动物。
15.【答案】D【解析】因为钱是在动物园打工挣的,选successfully更能体现其含义。
16.【答案】D【解析】finance my first trip意为“支付我的旅行费用”;pay后应接介词for;其他选项的意思相差甚远。
17.【答案】B【解析】此句为现在完成进行时态,选regularly比较贴切。
18.【答案】D【解析】此句是由though引导的让步状语从句,应与主句意思相对立。
选项中,sorrows和disappointments与主句的appeal to相对立,但sorrows 的分量太重。
19.【答案】C【解析】appeal to为成语,意思是“吸引”。
20.【答案】B【解析】excursion短途旅行;journey(从一地到另一地的)长距离,具体的旅途;travel旅行,旅游,海外旅行;trip旅行,远足。
