They made these tools by hitting one stone against another. In this way, they broke off pieces from one of the stones. These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side. People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals, and also for making other tools out of wood.Human beings needed to use tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat eating animals, such as lions and tigers. Tools helped people to get food more easily. Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence. The human brain grew bigger, and human beings began to invent more and more tools and machines. The stone chip was one of the first tools that people used, and perhaps it is the most important.

专业四级考试阅读理解模拟练习试题

专业四级考试阅读理解模拟练习试题As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were building with adobe －sun baked brick plastered with mud. Their homes looked remarkably1 like modern apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people, along with store rooms for grain and other goods. These buildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense2 against enemies. They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have realized since they called them pueblos3 , which is Spanish for town.The people of the pueblos raised what are called the three sisters - corn, beans, and squash. They made excellent pottery4 and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold water. The Southwest has always been a dry country, where water is scarce. The Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches. Water was so important that it played a major role in their religion. They developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain.The way of life of less settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature. Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. They gathered seeds and hunted small animals such as small rabbits and snakes. In the Far North the ancestors of today s Inuit hunted seals, walruses5, and the great whales. They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of blocks of packed snow. When summer came, they fished for salmon6 and hunted the lordly caribou7.The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived on the grasslands8 between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. They hunted bison, commonly called the buffalo9. Its meat was the chief food of these tribes, and its hide was used to make their clothing and covering of their tents and tipis.16. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The architecture of early American Indian buildings. B. The movement of American Indians across North America. C. Ceremonies and rituals of American Indians. D. The way of life of American Indian tribes in early North America.17. It can be inferred from the passage that thedwellings10 of the Hopi and Zuni were______. A. very smallB. highly advanced ?C. difficult to defend ?D. quickly constructed参考答案及解析：16. D) 根据阅读短文可知，作者主要描述了北美地区不同印第安部落的不同的生活方式。

Students are working hard to get certificates like CET-4 and CET-6. Company staff and even some officials go back to school for the certificates to meet various needs. It seems everyone is striving for certificates. Why are certificates so important and attractive? It can be explained from two aspects. Firstly, certificate education is an indispensable supplement to curricular education. Extracurricular study for certificates help develop one’s skills for future use, most of which cannot be acquired from the regular classroom study. What’s more, the craze for certificates arises from the demand of the competitive society, where certificates play an important part in job hunting. The more certificates one has, the more job opportunities one will have In my opinion, while it is true that certificates are essential to one’s future career, it doesn’t follow that certificates mean everything. one’s ability behind certificates matters much more. It is, therefore, suggested that more emphasis should be put on the process of getting a certificate than on the purpose.解析：用词亮点：(1) 在第一段首句中，Nowadays意思为“现在”，通常用于引出现象。

英语专业四级阅读理解模拟题及参考答案Within that exclusive group of literary characters who have survived through the centuries--from Hamlet to Huckleberry Finn--few can rival the cultural impact of Sherlock Holmes.Since his first public appearance20years ago,the gentleman with the curved pipe and a taste for cocaine,the master of deductive reasoning and elaborate disguise,has left his mark everywhere--in crime literature,film and television,cartoons and comic books.At Holmes'side,of course,was his trusted friend Dr.Watson.Looming even larger,however,was another doctor,one whose medical practice was so slow it allowed him plenty of time to pursue his literary ambition.His name:Arthur Conan Doyle.As the creator of these fictional icons, Conan Doyle has himself become something of a cult figure,the object of countless critical studies,biographies and fan clubs.Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh in1859,in a respectable middle-class Catholic family.Still, it was far from an easy life.There was never enough money;they moved frequently in search of lower rents;and his father,a civil servant and illustrator was an alcoholic who had to be institutionalized.Yet the early letters he wrote to his mother are surprisingly optimistic,concerned mainly with food,clothes,allowances and schoolwork.At14came his first unforgettable visit to London,including Madame Tussaud's,where he was"delighted with the room of Horrors,and the images of the murderers."A superb student,Conan Doyle went on to medical school,where he was attracted by Dr.Joseph Bell,a professor with an uncanny ability to diagnose patients even before they opened their mouths.For a time he worked as Bell's outpatient clerk and would watch,amazed,at how the location of a callus could reveal a man's profession,or how a quick look at a skin rash told Bell that the patient had once lived in Bermuda.In1886,Conan Doyle outlined his first novel,A Study in Scarlet,which he described as"a simple tale of mystery to make a little extra money."Its main character,initially called Sherringford Hope and later called Sherlock Holmes,was based largely on Bell.But Holmes'first appearance went almost unnoticed,and the struggling doctor devoted nearly all of his spare time to writing long historical novels in the style of Sir Walter Scott—novels that he was convinced would make his reputation.It wasn't to be.In1888,Holmes reappeared in A Scandal in Bohemia,a short story in Strand Magazine.And this time,its hero took an immediate hit and Conan Doyle's life would never be the same.1.The typical features of Sherlock Holmes were all EXCEPTA.rational.B.sociable.C.intelligent.D.cunning.2.Which of the following is NOT true about Conan Doyle and his family?A.He came from a middle-class family.B.They led a hard life in Edinburgh.C.His father was addicted to drinking.D.His mother had received little education.3.How did Conan Doyle feel about his first visit to London?A.It was horrible.B.It was pleasant.C.It was awful.D.It was memorable.4.We can infer from the last paragraph thatA.the more calluses a person has,the more professional he would be.B.writers often base their writing on personal experiences.C.Conan Doyle has gone through a period of hardship on his way to success.D.inspiration was very important for a person to create something.5.Conan Doyle's short story"A Scandai in Bohemia"has proved to be__at last.A.successfulB.powerfulC.ridiculousD.frustrating参考答案与解析：1．[B]细节判断题。

专业英语四级(阅读)模拟试卷180(题后含答案及解析)

专业英语四级（阅读）模拟试卷180(题后含答案及解析)题型有： 5. READING COMPREHENSIONPART V READING COMPREHENSIONSECTION AIn this section there are several passages followed by ten multiple-choice questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.(1) The Clyde whom Samuel Griffiths described as having met at the Union League Club in Chicago, was a somewhat modified version of the one who had fled from Kansas City three years before. He was now twenty, a little taller and more firmly but scarcely any more robustly built, and considerably more experienced, of course. (2) For since leaving his home and work in Kansas City and coming in contact with some rough usage in the world—humble tasks, wretched rooms, no intimates to speak of, plus the compulsion to make his own way as best he might—he had developed a kind of self-reliance and smoothness of address such as one would scarcely have credited him with three years before. There was about him now, although he was not nearly so smartly dressed as when he left Kansas City, a kind of conscious gentility (文雅) of manner which pleased, even though it did not at first arrest attention. Also, and this was considerably different from the Clyde who had crept away from Kansas City in a box car, he had much more of an air of caution and reserve. (3) For ever since he had fled from Kansas City, and by one humble device and another forced to make his way, he had been coming to the conclusion that on himself alone depended his future. His family, as he now definitely sensed, could do nothing for him. They were too impractical and too poor—his mother, father, Esta, all of them. (4) At the same time, in spite of all their difficulties, he could not now help but feel drawn to them, his mother in particular, and the old home life that had surrounded him as a boy—his brother and sisters, Esta included, since she, too, as he now saw it, had been brought no lower than he by circumstances over which she probably had no more control. And often, his thoughts and mood had gone back with a definite and disconcerting pang (一阵剧痛) because of the way in which he had treated his mother as well as the way in which his career in Kansas City had been suddenly interrupted—his loss of Hortense Briggs—a severe blow; the troubles that had come to him since; the trouble that must have come to his mother and Esta because of him. (5) On reaching St. Louis two days later after his flight, and after having been most painfully bundled out (赶，匆忙打发) into the snow a hundred miles from Kansas City in the gray of a winter morning, and at the same time relieved of his watch and overcoat by two brakemen who had found him hiding in the car, he had picked up a Kansas City paper—The Star—only to realize that his worst fear in regard to all that had occurred had come true. For there, under a two-column head, and with fully a column and a half of reading matter below, was the full story of all that hadhappened; a little girl, the eleven-year-old daughter of a well-to-do (小康的) Kansas City family, knocked down and almost instantly killed—she had died an hour later; Sparser and Miss Sipe in a hospital and under arrest at the same time, guarded by a policeman sitting in the hospital awaiting their recovery; a splendid car very seriously damaged; Sparser’s father, in the absence of the owner of the car for whom he worked, at once incensed (激怒) and made terribly unhappy by the folly and seeming criminality (犯罪行为) and recklessness of his son. (6) But what was worse, the unfortunate Sparser had already been charged with larceny (盗窃) and homicide (杀人), and wishing, no doubt, to minimize his own share in this grave catastrophe, had not only revealed the names of all who were with him in the car—the youths in particular and their hotel address—but had charged that they along with him were equally guilty, since they had urged him to make speed at the time and against his will —a claim which was true enough, as Clyde knew. And Mr. Squires, on being interviewed at the hotel, had furnished the police and the newspapers with the names of their parents and their home addresses. (7) This last was the sharpest blow of all. For there followed disturbing pictures of how their respective parents or relatives had taken it on being informed of their sins.1．What can be concluded from Para. 2 about Clyde?A．He was a dependent young man when in Kansas City.B．He is dressed better than three years ago.C．He acts quite differently from the past.D．He is more cautious and reserved than before.正确答案：A解析：推断题。

英语四级考试阅读模拟题(一)Where do pesticides fit into the picture of environmental disease? We have seen that they now pollute soil,water and food, that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world: We know that even single exposures to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farmworkers, and others exposed to sufficient quantities of pesticides is very sad and should not occur. For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our world.Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative over long periods of time, and that the danger to individual may depend on the sum of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these veryreasons the danger is easily ignored. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a threat of future disaster. Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs, says a wise physician, Dr Rene Dubos, yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them unnoticed.练习题：Choose correct answers to the question:1.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the sentence Manis part of nature (Para. 1, Lines 3-4)?A. Man appears indifferent to what happens in nature.B. Man acts as if he does not belong to nature.C. Man can avoid the effects of environmental pollution.D. Man can escape his responsibilities for environmental effects of pesticides?2. What is the authors attitude toward the environmental effects of pesticides?A. PessimisticB. IndifferentC. DefensiveD. Concerned3. In the authors view, the sudden death caused by exposure to large amounts of pesticides _____.A. is not the worst of the negative consequences resulting from the use of pesticidesB. now occurs most frequently among all accidental deathsC. has sharply increased so as to become the center of public attentionD. is unavoidable because people cant do without pesticides in farming4. People tend to ignore the delayed effects of exposure to chemical because _____.A. limited exposure to them does little harm to peoples healthB. the present is more important for them than the futureC. the danger does not become apparent immediatelyD. humans are capable of withstanding small amounts of poisoning5. It can be concluded from Dr. Dubos remarks that _____.A. people find invisible diseases difficult to deal withB. attacks by hidden enemies tend to be fatalC. diseases with obvious signs are easy to cureD. people tend to overlook hidden dangers caused by pesticides英语四级考试阅读模拟题答案1.[B] 题干的句子是文章第1段第3句，这是一个带有插入语的简洁句，contrary在此表示跟part of nature相反，因此答案为B。

The latest British Social Attitudes survey shows just how widespread negative views of vulnerable groups in society are, but also makes clear that much of this shift in public opinion has been caused by current and previous government policies. So, should we expect better measures of child poverty as a result of the consultation? Not better for the children growing up in low-income families for sure. And given the broader costs to society of child poverty, not better for anyone else—except, perhaps, a government that we suspect may be trying to avoid being held to account.1．What will NOT lead vulnerable families to poverty according to the first paragraph?A．Sharp decline in tax credits.B．A three-year freeze in child benefit.C．Increasing unemployment benefits.D．The adoption of RPI instead of CPI.正确答案：D解析：细节题。

专业英语四级阅读理解分类模拟418专业英语四级阅读理解分类模拟418READING COMPREHENSIONSection A MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONSIn this section there are several passages followed by ten multiple-choice questions. For each multiple-choice question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.Passage One(1) A few months ago I was nominated for Governor of the great State of New York, to run against Mr. John T. Smith and Mr. Blank J. Blank on an independent ticket. I somehow felt that I had one prominent advantage over these gentlemen, and that was—good character. It was easy to see by the newspapers that if ever they had known what it was to bear a good name, that time had gone by. It was plain that in these latter years they had become familiar with all manner of shameful crimes. But at the very moment that I was exalting my advantage and joying in it in secret, there was a muddy undercurrent of discomfort "riling" the deeps of my happiness—and that was the having to hear my name bandied about in familiar connection with those of such people.(2) But, after all, I could not recede. I was fully committed, and must go on with the fight. As I was looking listlessly over the papers at breakfast I came across this paragraph, and I may truly say I never was so confounded before:(3) PERJURY. —Perhaps, now that Mr. Mark Twain is before the people as a candidate for Governor, he will condescend toexplain how he came to be convicted of perjury by thirty-four witnesses in Wakawak, Cochin China, in 1863, the intent of which perjury being to rob a poor native widow and her helpless family of a meager plantain-patch, their only stay and support in their bereavement and desolation. Mr. Twain owes it to himself, as well as to the great people whose suffrages he asks, to clear this matter up. Will he do it?(4) I thought I should burst with amazement! Such a cruel, heartless charge! I never had seen Cochin China! I never had heard of Wakawak! I didn't know a plantain-patch from a kangaroo! I did not know what to do. I was crazed and helpless.I let the day slip away without doing anything at all.(5) [Mem. —During the rest of the campaign this paper never referred to me in any other way thanas "the infamous perjurer Twain."](6) Next came the Gazette, with this:(7) WANTED TO KNOW. —Will the new candidate for Governor deign to explain to certain of his fellow-citizens (who are suffering to vote for him!) the little circumstance of his cabin-mates in Montana losing small valuables from time to time, until at last, these things having been invariably found on Mr. Twain's person or in his "trunk" (newspaper he rolled his traps in), they felt compelled to give him a friendly admonition for his own good, and so tarred and feathered him, and rode him on a rail; and then advised him to leave a permanent vacuum in the place he usually occupied in the camp. Will he do this?(8) Could anything be more deliberately malicious than that? For I never was in Montana in my life.(9) I After this, this journal customarily spoke of me as, "Twain, the Montana Thief."(10) I got to picking up papers apprehensively—much as one would lift a desired blanket which he had some idea might havea rattlesnake under it.(11) By this time anonymous letters were getting to be an important part of my mail matter. This form was common:(12) How about that old woman you kiked of your premises which was begging. POL. PRY.(13) Shortly the principal Republican journal "convicted" me of wholesale bribery, and the leading Democratic paper "nailed" an aggravated case of blackmailing to me.(14) [In this way I acquired two additional names: "Twain the Filthy Corruptionist" and "Twain the Loathsome Embracer."](15) There was no possible way of getting out of it, and so, in deep humiliation, I set about preparing to "answer" a mass of baseless charges and mean and wicked falsehoods. But I never finished the task, for the very next morning a paper came out with a new horror, a fresh malignity and seriously charged me with burning a lunatic asylum with all its inmates, because it obstructed the view from my house. This threw me into a sort of panic. And at last, as a due and fitting climax to the shameless persecution that party rancor had inflicted upon me, nine little toddling children, of all shades of color and degrees of raggedness, were taught to rush onto the platform at a public meeting, and clasp me around the legs and call me PA!(16) I gave up. I hauled down my colors and surrendered. I was not equal to the requirements of a Gubernatorial campaign in the State of New York, and so I sent in my withdrawal from the candidacy, and in bitterness of spirit signed it, "Truly yours," once a decent man, but now "MARK TWAIN, I. P., M.T., B. S., D.T., F.C., and L. E."(本文改编自Running For Governor)Passage Two(1) Most adults in the U. S. who screen positive for depression are not being treated for depression, according to results from Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys (MEPS).(2) "With the recent increase in prescribing of antidepressant medications, many physicians might assume that undertreatment of depression is no longer a widespread problem," Dr. Mark Olfson from College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute in New York City told Reuters Health by e-mail. "This study makes clear, however, that most American adults who screen positive for depression receive no treatment for their symptoms."(3) Surveys from the early 2000s show that about half of U. S. adults with a lifetime medical history of major depressive disorder had never received treatment for depression. Still, little is known about the extent to which adults with depression in the U. S. receive depression care and the extent to which such patients are matched based on their illness severity to appropriate treatments and health care professionals.(4) Dr. Olfson and colleagues used data from the 2012 and 2013 MEPS to examine the prevalence and treatment of adults with screen-positive depression. They also assessed whether serious psychological distress was associated with more intensive treatment.(5) About 1 in 12 adults (8.4%) screened positive for depression, but the prevalence varied widely from 18% among adults in the lowest income group to 3.7% in the highest income group. Only 28.7% of those who screened positive for depressionreceived any depression treatment during the survey year, although 78.5% of those with screen-positive depression who received no depression treatment made at least one medical visit during that time, according to the August 29th JAMA Internal Medicine online report.(6) "Some groups, such as men and adults with less education, as well as ethnic and racial minorities, were especially unlikely to receive any treatment for their depressive symptoms," Dr. Olfson said. (7) Overall, 8.1% of adults received treatment for depression, but only a minority of those had screen positive depression (29.9%) or serious psychological distress (21.8%). The most common treatments for depression were antidepressants (87.0%), followed by psychotherapy (23.2%), anxiolytics (13.5%), antipsychotics (7.0%), and mood stabilizers (5.1%).(8) Patients with more serious distress were less likely than less distressed patients to be treated with。

Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But thats not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts (文科) university that doesnt even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who werent studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised mefor such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering "factories" where they didnt care if you have values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist (人文学者) all in one.Now Im not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调) engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply dont mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways; together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.配套练习：1. The author chose to study engineering at a smallliberal-arts university because he ________.A) wanted to be an example of practicality and rationalityB) intended to be a combination of engineer and humanistC) wanted to coordinate engineering with liberal-arts courses in collegeD) intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals2. According to the author, by interacting with people who study liberal arts, engineering students can ________.A) balance engineering and the liberal artsB) receive guidance in their careersC) become noble idealistsD) broaden their horizons3. In the eyes of the author, a successful engineering student is expected ________.A) to have an excellent academic recordB) to be wise and matureC) to be imaginative with a value system to guide himD) to be a technical genius with a wide vision4. The authors experience shows that he was ________.A) creativeB) ambitiousC) unrealisticD) irrational5. The word "they" in "...together they threaten to confuse." (Line 3, Para. 5) refers to ________.A) engineering and the liberal artsB) reality and noble idealsC) flexibility and a value systemD) practicality and rationalityDogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train it. Obedience training doesnt solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training pens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social rankorder. When your dog obeys a simple request of "come here, sit," it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack (群) by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate (从属的) role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.配套练习：1. Behavior problems of dogs are believe to ________.A) be just part of their natureB) worsen in modern societyC) occur when they go wildD) present a threat to the community2. The primary purpose of obedience training is to ________.A) teach the dog to perform clever tricksB) make the dog aware of its owners authorityC) provide the dog with outlets for its wild behaviorD) enable the dog to regain its normal behavior3. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is ________.A) essential to solving the dogs behavior problemsB) the foundation for dogs to perform tasksC) a good way to teach the dog new tricksD) an extreme measure in obedience training4. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?A) To avoid being punished.B) To show their affection for their masters.C) To win leadership of the dog pack.D) To show their willingness to obey.5. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner ________.A) can give the dog more rewardsB) will enjoy a better family lifeC) can give the dog more freedomD) will have more confidence in himself。

英语四级阅读理解模拟练习及答案详解

英语四级阅读理解模拟练习及答案详解在英语学习过程中，阅读理解力量是学习者进展语言力量的基础和手段。

国内的各类英语考试中几乎都有阅读理解题型，高校英语四级考试也不例外。

高校英语四级阅读理解试题是试卷中分值最重的题型，为了提高大家的阅读水平，下面是我为大家带来英语四级阅读理解模拟练习及答案详解，盼望对大家的学习有所关心!Directions:There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage 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 OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns. It is sometimes placed among "situations vacant', although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among "situations wanted', although it is not placed by someone looking for a job, either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job."Contact us before writing your application', or "Make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae or job history', is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparentsuccess of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae (or job history), with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right.There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. "Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams', was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. "Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for', was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the job interview.There is no doubt, however, that it is increasing number ofapplicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.57. The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspaper columns .A) informs job hunters of the opportunities availableB) promises to offer useful advice to those looking for employmentC) divides available jobs into various typesD) informs employers of the people available for work58. Nowadays a demand for this specialized type of service has been created because .A) there is a lack of jobs available for artistic peopleB) there are so many top?level jobs availableC) there are so many people out of workD) the job history is considered to be a work of art59. In the past it was expected that first job hunters would .A) write an initial letter giving their life historyB) pass some exams before applying for a jobC) have no qualifications other than being able to read and writeD) keep any detailed information until they obtained aninterview60. Later, as one went on to apply for more important jobs, one was advised to include in the letter .A) something that would distinguish one from other applicantsB) hinted information about the personality of the applicantC) ones advantages over others in applying for the jobD) an occasional trick with the aggressive approach61. The curriculum vitae has become such an important document because .A) there has been an increase in the number of jobs advertisedB) there has been an increase in the number of applicants with degreesC) jobs are becoming much more complicated nowadaysD) the other processes of applying for jobs are more complicatedPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that aftera long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rentcontrolled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, lowpaying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if "other things are equal'. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.62. There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may .A) cause a shortage of apartmentsB) worry those who rent apartments as homesC) increase the profits of landlordsD) encourage landlords to invest in building apartment63. According to the critics, rent control .A) will always benefit those who rent apartmentsB) is unnecessaryC) will bring negative effects in the long runD) is necessary under all circumstances64. The problem of unemployment will arise .A) if the minimum wage is set too highB) if the minimum wage is set too lowC) if the workers are unskilledD) if the maximum wage is set65. The passage tells us .A) the relationship between supply and demandB) the possible results of government controlsC) the necessity of government controlD) the urgency of getting rid of government controls66. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) The results of economic decisions can not always be predicted.B) Minimum wage can not always protect employees.C) Economic theory can predict the results of economic decisions if other factors are not changing.D) Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.答案详解：57.

英语四级的阅读理解模拟试题及解析

英语四级的阅读理解模拟试题及解析在英语四级考试中，阅读理解部分是一个重要的组成部分。

为了帮助考生更好地应对此类题型，以下是一篇关于英语四级阅读理解模拟试题及解析的文章。

Passage 1：Overfishing is a serious problem that is affecting our oceans and marine life. Many fish species are being severely depleted, and some are even on the brink of extinction. This is due to the increasing demand for seafood, as well as the advancement of fishing technologies. As responsible individuals, we must take action to address this issue and protect our oceans.One way to combat overfishing is to establish more marine protected areas. These areas would serve as sanctuaries for marine life, where fishing is prohibited. By creating protected environments, we can allow fish populations to recover and reproduce naturally. This would not only benefit the ecosystem but also ensure a sustainable supply of seafood in the long run.Furthermore, governments should implement stricter fishing regulations and enforce them effectively. Currently, many countries have laws and regulations in place, but they are often poorly enforced. By strengthening the enforcement of these regulations, illegal fishing activities can be reduced, helping to mitigate the problem of overfishing.Another important solution is to promote responsible fishing practices among fishermen. Educating fishermen about sustainable fishing methods and the importance of conserving fish stocks can make a significantdifference. Encouraging the use of selective fishing techniques and promoting the release of undersized fish can help maintain a balance in the ecosystem.In conclusion, overfishing poses a significant threat to our oceans and marine life. Through the establishment of marine protected areas, stricter fishing regulations, and promotion of responsible fishing practices, we can work towards preserving our oceans and ensuring a sustainable future for both fish populations and the fishing industry.Passage 2:Global warming is an urgent issue that requires immediate attention. The consequences of climate change are already evident, with rising temperatures and extreme weather events occurring around the world. It is crucial for us to take action and mitigate the effects of global warming.Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is one of the most effective ways to combat global warming. Governments and industries should invest in renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, which produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels. Additionally, individuals can contribute by reducing their energy consumption and opting for energy-efficient appliances.Furthermore, reforestation plays a vital role in fighting global warming. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, acting as natural carbon sinks. By increasing the number of trees through reforestation efforts, we can help offset the carbon emissions that contribute to global warming.Promoting sustainable transportation is another important step towards mitigating global warming. Encouraging the use of public transport, walking, and cycling can reduce the reliance on cars, which are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Governments should also invest in developing efficient and accessible public transport systems to make sustainable transportation options more convenient for the public.In conclusion, global warming is a pressing issue that requires collective efforts to address. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting reforestation, and encouraging sustainable transportation, we can make significant progress in mitigating the effects of climate change and preserving the environment for future generations.以上是关于英语四级阅读理解模拟试题及解析的文章，希望能帮助考生备考英语四级考试。

专业英语四级阅读模拟试卷202

专业英语四级阅读模拟试卷202全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Professional English CET-4 Reading Practice Test 202Part I Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage 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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Humans have been altering the world's ecosystems for thousands of years. Usually, changes have happened at a relatively slow pace, giving other creatures time to adapt. However, in the last 300 years, human activity has caused much more rapid and extensive alterations in the natural world. The rapid rate of change is causing problems for many species and ecosystems. The extinction rate of species is now 100 to 1000times greater than the rate before human beings began altering the environment.The rapid rate of extinction has been caused mainly by the destruction of habitats. Habitat can be destroyed in many ways, such as logging, mining, farming, and urban expansion. The expansion of farming and urbanization has meant that many habitats are fragmented into much smaller areas. Small areas of habitat, which may be too small to support a viable population, have a high risk of disappearing altogether. Moreover, the removal of a single species may have implications for many others. A species does not live in isolation; instead, it occupies a web of interactions with other species. Humans have the ability to greatly affect other species by removing just one of the members of an ecosystem.1. According to the passage, how does the rate of extinction now compare with the rate before human beings began altering the environment?A. It has decreased significantly.B. It has increased slightly.C. It has remained the same.D. It has increased substantially.2. What is the main cause of the rapid rate of extinction mentioned in the passage?A. Overpopulation of certain species.B. Pollution of ecosystems.C. Destruction of habitats.D. Climate change.3. Why are habitats being fragmented into smaller areas?A. Due to natural causes.B. Because of the expansion of farming and urbanization.C. To enable easier access for humans.D. To facilitate the breeding of species.4. What is the implication of the removal of a single species from an ecosystem?A. It has no impact on the remaining species.B. It leads to the eventual extinction of all species.C. It disrupts the web of interactions within the ecosystem.D. It improves the overall health of the ecosystem.Passage 2Symbiotic relationships are common in nature, with many species relying on each other for survival. One example of symbiosis is the relationship between the clownfish and the sea anemone. The clownfish is able to live among the sea anemone's tentacles without being harmed by its venomous sting. In turn, the clownfish protects the sea anemone from predators, such as butterflyfish, that feed on them. This mutually beneficial relationship is known as mutualism, where both species benefit from the interaction.Another example of symbiosis is the relationship between bees and flowers. Bees pollinate flowers as they collect nectar for food. Pollination is essential for the reproduction of many plant species, making bees important pollinators. In return, the flowers provide the bees with nectar, which is their main source of energy. This relationship is an example of mutualism as well, where both bees and flowers benefit from the interaction.5. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The importance of symbiotic relationships in nature.B. The competition between species for resources.C. The dangers of venomous marine life.D. The impact of pollution on ecosystems.6. What is mutualism?A. A symbiotic relationship where one species benefits at the expense of another.B. A relationship where both species benefit from the interaction.C. A relationship where one species preys on another for survival.D. A relationship where both species are harmed by the interaction.7. Why are bees important pollinators?A. They collect nectar for food.B. They protect flowers from predators.C. They reproduce plant species.D. They provide energy for the flowers.8. What does the clownfish do to protect the sea anemone?A. It feeds on the sea anemone's predators.B. It lives among the sea anemone's tentacles.C. It competes with the sea anemone for food.D. It creates barriers around the sea anemone.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (10 points)Directions: There are thirty incomplete sentences in this part.

2022年大学英语专业四级阅读理解模拟试题含答案

PART V READING COMPREHENSION [25 MIN]In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.TEXT ARacket, din clamor, noise, whatever you want to call it, unwanted sound is America's most widespread nuisance. But noise is more than just a nuisance. It constitutes a real and present danger to people's health. Day and night, at home, at work, and at play, noise can produce serious physical and psychological stress. No one is immune to this stress. Though we seem to adjust to noise by ignoring it, the ear, in fact, never closes and the body still responds—sometimes with extreme tension, as to a strange sound in the night.The annoyance we feel when faced with noise is the most common outward symptom of the stress building up inside us. Indeed, because irritability is so apparent, legislators have made public annoyance the basis of many noise abatement programs. The more subtle and more serious health hazards associated with stress caused by noise traditionally have been given much less attention. Nevertheless, when we are annoyed or made irritable by noise, we should consider these symptoms fair warning that other thing may be happening to us, some of which may be damaging to our health.Of many health hazards to noise, hearing loss is the most clearly observable and measurable by health professionals. The other hazards are harder to pin down. For many of us, there may be a risk that exposure to the stress of noise increases susceptibility to disease and infection. The more susceptible among us may experience noise as a complicating factor in heart problems and other diseases. Noise that causes annoyance and irritability in health persons may have serious consequences for these already ill in mind or body.Noise affects us throughout our lives. For example, there are indications of effects on the unborn child when mothers are exposed to industrial and environmental noise. During infancy and childhood, youngsters exposed to high noise levels may have trouble falling asleep and obtaining necessary amounts of rest.Why, then, is there not greater alarm about these dangers? Perhaps it is because the link between noise and many disabilities or diseases has not yet been conclusively demonstrated. Perhaps it is because we tend to dismiss annoyance as a price to pay for living in the modern world. It may also be because we still think of hearing loss as only an occupational hazard.1.In Paragraph 1, the phrase "immune to" are used to mean ___.2. A.unaffected by3. B.hurt by4. C.unlikely to be seen by5. D.unknown by6.The author's attitude toward noise would best be described as ___.7. A.unrealistic8. B.traditional9. C.concerned10.D.hysterical11.Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?12.A.Noise is a major problem; most people recognize its importance.13.B.Although noise can be annoying, it is not a major problem.14.C.Noise is a major problem and has not yet been recognized assuch.15.D.Noise is a major problem about which nothing can be done.16.The author condemns noise essentially because it ___.17.A.is against the law18.B.can make some people irritable19.C.is a nuisance20.D.in a ganger to people's health21.The author would probably consider research about the effectsnoise has on people to be ___.22.A.unimportant23.B.impossible.24.C.a waste of money25.D.essentialTEXT BWhat we know of prenatal development makes all this attempt made by a mother to mold the character of her unborn child by studying poetry, art, or mathematics during pregnancy seem utterly impossible. How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the child? There is no connection between their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child, because it changes the activity of her glands and so the chemistry her blood. Any chemical change in the mother's blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we can not see how a looking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child.In our discussion of instincts we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behavior. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may be, however, that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a success of that study.As for musical ability, it may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or the vocalorgans connections between nerves and muscles that make it comparatively easy to learn the movements a musician must execute, and particularly vigorous emotions. If these factors are all organized around music, the child may become a musician. The same factors, in other circumstance might be organized about some other center of interest. The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but a certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other undertaking may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.26.Which of the following statements is not true?27.A. Some mothers try to influence their unborn children by studying artand other subjects during their pregnancy.28.B. It is utterly impossible for us to learn anything about prenataldevelopment.29.C. The blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly.30.D. There are no connection between mother's nervous systems andher unborn child's.31.A mother will affect her unborn baby on the condition that ____.32.A. she is emotionally shocked33.B.she has a good knowledge of inheritance34.C. she takes part in all kind of activities35.D. she sticks to studying36.According to the passage, a child may inherit____.37.A. everything from his mother38.B. a knowledge of mathematics39.C. a rather general ability that we call intelligence40.D. her mother's musical ability41.If a child inherits something from his mother, such as an especiallysensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or of the vocal organs, he will ____.42.A. surely become musician43.B. mostly become a poet44.C. possibly become a teacher45.D. become a musician on the condition that all these factors areorganized around music46.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?47.A. Role of Inheritance.48. B. An Unborn Child.49.C. Function of instincts.50.D. Inherited Talents.TEXT CThere are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differconsiderably , some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an individual is handicapped(不利) environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster(抚养) homes. Peter was raised by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's I. Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.51.This selection can best be titled____________.52.A. Measuring Your Intelligence53.B. Intelligence and Environment54.C. The Case of Peter and Mark55.D. How the Brain Influences Intelligence56.The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that _______.57.A. human brains differ considerably58.B. the brain a person is born with is important in determining hisintelligence59.C. environment is crucial in determining a person's intelligence60.D. persons having identical brains will have roughly the sameintelligence61.According to the passage, the average I. Q. is_______.62.A. 85 . B. 100 C. 110 D. 12563.The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusionthat_______.64.A. individuals with identical brains seldom test at the same level65.B. an individual's intelligence is determined only by his environment66.C. lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence67.D. changes of environment produce changes in the structure of thebrain68.This passage suggests that an individual's I. Q. _______.69.A. can be predicted at birth70.B. stays the same throughout his life71.C. can be increased by education72.D. is determined by his childhoodTEXT DPersonality is，to large extent, inherent --A-type parents usually bring about A-type offspring. But the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is improtant to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor lives of their children.One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the "win at all costs" moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A types seem in some way better than their B-type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences:remember that Pheidippides ,the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying:"Rejoice, we conquer!".By far the worst form of competition in school is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations . It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well.The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change into 'B's. The would needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child's personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.73.According to the author, what factors contribute to the building ofpersonality?74.A. inheritance75.b. inheritance, competition and environment76.c. competition77.d. environment78.Which of the following statements is not true according to the authorof the passage?79.A.Schools usually adopt severe competitive policies.80.B. Students are often divided by competition results.81.C. School is place where children cultivate their characteristics.82.D. The stronger desire for winning, the better.83.The phrase "soak up" is closest in meaning to ____.84.A. pull up85.b. take up86.c. take in87.d. pull in88.What attitude does the author hold toward examinations in schools?89.A. positive90.b. negative91.c. doubtful92.d. neutral93.what suggestion does the author make concerning themanagement of schools?94.A.

大学英语专业四级阅读理解模考试题及答案

大学英语专业四级阅读理解模考试题及答案When I was growing up, the whole world was Jewish. The heroes were Jewish and the villains were Jewish. The landlord, the doctor, the grocer, your best friend, the village idiot, and the neighborhood bully: all Jewish. We were working class and immigrants as well, but that just came with territory. Essentially we were Jews on thestreets of New York. We learned to be kind, cruel, smart and feeling in a mixture of language and gesture that was part street slang, part grade school English, part kitchen Yiddish.? One Sunday evening when I was eight years old my parents and I were riding in the back seat of my rich uncles car. We had been out for a ride and now we were back in the Bronx, headed forhome. Suddenly, another car sideswiped us. My mother and aunt shrieked. My uncle swore softly. My father, in whose lap I was sitting, said out the window at the speeding car, “Thats all right. Nothing but a few Jews in here.〞 In an instant I knew everything. I knew there was a world beyond our streets, and in that world myfather was humiliated man, without power or standing.? When I was sixteen,a girl in the next building had her nose straightened; we all went together to see Selma Shapiro lying in state, wrapped in bandages from which would emerge a person fit for life beyond the block. Three buildings away a boy went downtown for a job, and on his application he wrote “Arnold Brown〞instead of “Arnold Braunowiitz〞. The news swept through the neighborhood like a wild fire. A nose job? A name change? What was happening here? It was awful; it was wonderful. It was frightening; it was delicious. Whatever it was, it wasnt standstill. Things felt lively and active. Self?confidence was on the rise, passivity on the wane. We were goingto experience challenges. Thats what it meant to be in the new world. For the first time we could imagine ourselves out there.But who exactly do I mean when I say we? I mean Arnie, not Selma.I mean my brother, not me. I mean the boys, not the girls. My mother stood behind me, pushing me forward. “The girl goes to college, too,〞 she said. And I did. But my going to college would not mean the same thing as my mothers going to college, and we all knew it. For my brother, college meant going from the Bronx to Manhattan. But for me From the time I was fourteen I yearned to get out of the Bronx, but get out into what? I did not actually imagine myself a working person alone in Manhattan and nobody else did either. What I did imagine was that I would marry, and that the man I married would get me downtown. He would brave the perils of class and race, and somehow Id be there alongside him.24. In the passage, we can find the author was ______A. quite satisfied with her lifeB. a poor Jewish girlC. born in a middle class familyD. a resident in a rich area in New York25. Selma Shapiro had her nose straightened because she wanted______A. to look her bestB. to find a new job in the neighborhoodC. to live a new life in other placesD. to marry very soon26. Arnold Brown changed his name because ______A. there was racial discrimination in employmentB. Brown was just the same as BraunowiitzC. it was easy to writeD. Brown sounds better27. From the passage we can infer that ______A. the Jews were satisfied with their life in the BronxB. the Jewish immigrants could not be richC. all the immigrants were very poorD. the young Jews didnt accept the stern reality参考答案24. B) 根据文章第一段和最后一段可以很明显判断出“I〞是一位贫穷的.犹太小女孩。

For each question, there are four suggested answers marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.(1) In walks these three girls in nothing but bathing suits. I’m in the third check-out slot, with my back to the door, so I don’t see them until they’re over by the bread. The one that caught my eye first was the one in the plaid green two-piece. She was a chunky kid, with a good tan and a sweet broad soft-looking can with those two crescents of white just under it, where the sun never seems to hit, at the top of the backs of her legs. I stood there with my hand on a box of HiHo crackers trying to remember if I rang it up or not. I ring it up again and the customer starts giving me hell. She’s one of these cash-register-watchers, a witch about fifty with rouge on her cheekbones and no eyebrows, and I know it made her day to trip me up. She’d been watching cash registers forty years and probably never seen a mistake before. (2) By the time I got her feathers smoothed and her goodies into a bag—she gives me a little snort in passing, if she’d been born at the right time they would have burned her over in Salem—by the time I get her on her way the girls had circled around the bread and were coming back, without a pushcart, back my way along the counters, in the aisle between the check-outs and the Special bins. They didn’t even have shoes on. There was this chunky one, with the two-piece—it was bright green and the seams on the bra were still sharp and her belly was still pretty pale so I guessed she just got it (the suit)—there was this one, with one of those chubby berry-faces, the lips all bunched together under her nose, this one, and a tall one, with black hair that hadn’t quite frizzed right, and one of these sunburns right across under the eyes, and a chin that was too long—you know, the kind of girl other girls think is very “striking” and “attractive” but never quite makes it, as they very well know, which is why they like her so much—and then the third one, that wasn’t quite so tail. She was the queen. She kind of led them, the other two peeking around and making their shoulders round. She didn’t look around, not this queen, she just walked straight on slowly, on these long white prima donna legs. She came down a little hard on her heels, as if she didn’t walk in her bare feet that much, putting down her heels and then letting the weight move along to her toes as if she was testing the floor with every step, putting a little deliberate extra action into it. You never know for sure how girls’ minds work (do you really think it’s a mind in there or just a little buzz like a bee in a glass jar?) but you got the idea she had talked the other two into coming in here with her, and now she was showing them how to do it, walk slow and hold yourself straight. (3) She had on a kind of dirty-pink—beige maybe, I don’t know—bathing suit with a little nubbleall over it and, what got me, the straps were down. They were off her shoulders looped loose around the cool tops of her arms, and I guess as a result the suit had slipped a little on her, so all around the top of the cloth there was this shining rim. If it hadn’t been there you wouldn’t have known there could have been anything whiter than those shoulders. With the straps pushed off, there was nothing between the top of the suit and the top of her head except just her, this clean bare plane of the top of her chest down from the shoulder bones like a dented sheet of metal tilted in the light. I mean, it was more than pretty. (4) She had sort of oaky hair that the sun and salt had bleached, done up in a bun that was unraveling, and a kind of prim face. Walking into the A&P with your straps down, I suppose it’s the only kind of face you can have. She held her head so high her neck, coming up out of those white shoulders, looked kind of stretched, but I didn’t mind. The longer her neck was, the more of her there was.1．It can be inferred from Para. 1 that “I” probably is______.A．a cash registerB．a government officialC．a professional athleteD．a college student正确答案：A解析：细节题。

专业英语四级阅读理解分类模拟418READING COMPREHENSIONSection A MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONSIn this section there are several passages followed by ten multiple-choice questions. For each multiple-choice question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.Passage One(1) A few months ago I was nominated for Governor of the great State of New York, to run against Mr. John T. Smith and Mr. Blank J. Blank on an independent ticket. I somehow felt that I had one prominent advantage over these gentlemen, and that was—good character. It was easy to see by the newspapers that if ever they had known what it was to bear a good name, that time had gone by. It was plain that in these latter years they had become familiar with all manner of shameful crimes. But at the very moment that I was exalting my advantage and joying in it in secret, there was a muddy undercurrent of discomfort "riling" the deeps of my happiness—and that was the having to hear my name bandied about in familiar connection with those of such people.(2) But, after all, I could not recede. I was fully committed, and must go on with the fight. As I was looking listlessly over the papers at breakfast I came across this paragraph, and I may truly say I never was so confounded before:(3) PERJURY. —Perhaps, now that Mr. Mark Twain is before the people as a candidate for Governor, he will condescend to explain how he came to be convicted of perjury by thirty-four witnesses in Wakawak, Cochin China, in 1863, the intent of which perjury being to rob a poor native widow and her helpless family of a meager plantain-patch, their only stay and support in their bereavement and desolation. Mr. Twain owes it to himself, as well as to the great people whose suffrages he asks, to clear this matter up. Will he do it?(4) I thought I should burst with amazement! Such a cruel, heartless charge! I never had seen Cochin China! I never had heard of Wakawak! I didn't know a plantain-patch from a kangaroo! I did not know what to do. I was crazed and helpless. I let the day slip away without doing anything at all.(5) [Mem. —During the rest of the campaign this paper never referred to me in any other way thanas "the infamous perjurer Twain."](6) Next came the Gazette, with this:(7) WANTED TO KNOW. —Will the new candidate for Governor deign to explain to certain of his fellow-citizens (who are suffering to vote for him!) the little circumstance of his cabin-mates in Montana losing small valuables from time to time, until at last, these things having been invariably found on Mr. Twain's person or in his "trunk" (newspaper he rolled his traps in), they felt compelled to give him a friendly admonition for his own good, and so tarred and feathered him, and rode him on a rail; and then advised him to leave a permanent vacuum in the place he usually occupied in the camp. Will he do this?(8) Could anything be more deliberately malicious than that? For I never was in Montana in my life.(9) I After this, this journal customarily spoke of me as, "Twain, the Montana Thief."(10) I got to picking up papers apprehensively—much as one would lift a desired blanket which he had some idea might have a rattlesnake under it.(11) By this time anonymous letters were getting to be an important part of my mail matter. This form was common:(12) How about that old woman you kiked of your premises which was begging. POL. PRY.(13) Shortly the principal Republican journal "convicted" me of wholesale bribery, and the leading Democratic paper "nailed" an aggravated case of blackmailing to me.(14) [In this way I acquired two additional names: "Twain the Filthy Corruptionist" and "Twain the Loathsome Embracer."](15) There was no possible way of getting out of it, and so, in deep humiliation, I set about preparing to "answer" a mass of baseless charges and mean and wicked falsehoods. But I never finished the task, for the very next morning a paper came out with a new horror, a fresh malignity and seriously charged me with burning a lunatic asylum with all its inmates, because it obstructed the view from my house. This threw me into a sort of panic. And at last, as a due and fitting climax to the shameless persecution that party rancor had inflicted upon me, nine little toddling children, of all shades of color and degrees of raggedness, were taught to rush onto the platform at a public meeting, and clasp me around the legs and call me PA!(16) I gave up. I hauled down my colors and surrendered. I was not equal to the requirements of a Gubernatorial campaign in the State of New York, and so I sent in my withdrawal from the candidacy, and in bitterness of spirit signed it, "Truly yours," once a decent man, but now "MARK TWAIN, I. P., M.T., B. S., D.T., F.C., and L. E."(本文改编自Running For Governor)Passage Two(1) Most adults in the U. S. who screen positive for depression are not being treated for depression, according to results from Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys (MEPS).(2) "With the recent increase in prescribing of antidepressant medications, many physicians might assume that undertreatment of depression is no longer a widespread problem," Dr. Mark Olfson from College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute in New York City told Reuters Health by e-mail. "This study makes clear, however, that most American adults who screen positive for depression receive no treatment for their symptoms."(3) Surveys from the early 2000s show that about half of U. S. adults with a lifetime medical history of major depressive disorder had never received treatment for depression. Still, little is known about the extent to which adults with depression in the U. S. receive depression care and the extent to which such patients are matched based on their illness severity to appropriate treatments and health care professionals.(4) Dr. Olfson and colleagues used data from the 2012 and 2013 MEPS to examine the prevalence and treatment of adults with screen-positive depression. They also assessed whether serious psychological distress was associated with more intensive treatment.(5) About 1 in 12 adults (8.4%) screened positive for depression, but the prevalence varied widely from 18% among adults in the lowest income group to 3.7% in the highest income group. Only 28.7% of those who screened positive for depression received any depression treatment during the survey year, although 78.5% of those with screen-positive depression who received no depression treatment made at least one medical visit during that time, according to the August 29th JAMA Internal Medicine online report.(6) "Some groups, such as men and adults with less education, as well as ethnic and racial minorities, were especially unlikely to receive any treatment for their depressive symptoms," Dr. Olfson said. (7) Overall, 8.1% of adults received treatment for depression, but only a minority of those had screen positive depression (29.9%) or serious psychological distress (21.8%). The most common treatments for depression were antidepressants (87.0%), followed by psychotherapy (23.2%), anxiolytics (13.5%), antipsychotics (7.0%), and mood stabilizers (5.1%).(8) Patients with more serious distress were less likely than less distressed patients to be treated with。
