TEM4---英语专业四级语法词汇+答案详解03-13
TEM4---英语专业四级语法词汇+答案详解03-132013年51. Facing the board of directors, he didn’t deny ________ breaking the agreement.A. himB. itC. hisD. its解析:动名词可以有自己的逻辑主语,一般可以用名词所有格Tom's,代词宾格如him(口语),书面语情况下一般用物主代词his,their。
本题选C。
52. Xinchun returned from abroad a different man. The italicized part functions as a (n) _______.A. appositive (同位语)B. objectC. adverbialD. complement.解析:这些一般语法书也会提到,但是题目里的都不是这种现象,很多语法书对主语补语的介绍也就到此为止。
好在这本书多介绍了一点,但情况很微妙。
此书又说More problematic is the constituent following other verbs that could be used intransitively with the same meaning, as in: Saint Ethelbert was born a Saxon princess. (she was born) He returned a broken man. (he returned) He died young. (he died) We shall consider such constituents as Complements on the strength of the possible paraphrase containing be (When he returned he was a broken man; When he died he was young). 这部分恰好就是本题所代表的类型,但是从该书作者表述来看,他们也承认这样的句子很不一般,不太容易轻易判定是否为主语补语,在本书里,作者认为可以看作是主语补语,因为大概可以改写成含有系动词be的句子,但作者的措辞显然没有那么肯定,有待商榷的意思。
冠词的用法详解(附真题练习及答案解析)
冠词的用法详解(附真题练习及答案解析)1. 不定冠词的用法冠词本身不能单独使用,也没有词义,它用在名词的前面,帮助指明名词的含义。
英语中的冠词有三种,一种是定冠词,另一种是不定冠词,还有一种是零冠词。
不定冠词a (an)与数词one 同源,是“一个”的意思。
a用于辅音音素前,而an则用于元音音素前。
1)表示“一个”,意为one;指某人或某物。
例如:A Mr. Ling is waiting for you. 有位姓凌的先生在等你。
2)代表一类人或物。
例如:A knife is a tool for cutting with. 刀是切割的工具。
Mr. Smith is an engineer. 史密斯先生是工程师。
3)组成词组或成语,如:a little / a few / a lot / a type of / a pile / a great many / many a / as a rule / in a hurry / in a minute / in a word / in a short while / after a while / have a cold / have a try /keep an eye on / all of a sudden等。
2. 定冠词的用法定冠词the与指示代词this,that同源,有“那(这)个”的意思,但意义较弱,可以和一个名词连用,来表示某个或某些特定的人或东西。
1)特指双方都明白的人或物。
例如:Take the medicine. 把药吃了。
2)上文提到过的人或事。
例如:He bought a house. I’ve been to the house.他买了幢房子。
我去过那幢房子。
3)指世上独一无二的事物,如:the sun,the sky,the moon,the earth等。
4)与单数名词连用表示一类事或物,如:the dollar 美元; the fox 狐狸;或与形容词或分词连用,表示一类人:the rich 富人; the living 生者。

英语四级长篇阅读段落信息匹配题练习附答案和解析(3)
英语四级长篇阅读段落信息匹配题练习附答案和解析(3)Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Endangered PeoplesA) Today, it is not distance, but culture that separates the peoples of the world. The central question of our time may be how to deal with cultural differences. So begins the book, Endangered Peoples, by Art Davidson. It is an attempt to provide understanding of the issues affecting the world's native peoples. This book tells the stories of 21 tribes, cultures, and cultural areas that are struggling to survive. It tells each story through the voice of a member of the tribe .Mr. Davidson recorded their words. Art Wolfe and John Isaac took pictures of them. The organization called the Sierra Club published thebook.B) The native groups live far apart in North America or South America, Africa or Asia. Yet their situations are similar. They are fighting the march of progress in an effort to keep themselves and their cultures alive. Some of them follow ancient ways most of the time. Some follow modern ways most of the time. They have one foot in ancient world and one foot in modern world. They hope to continue to balance between these two worlds. Yet the pressures to forget their traditions and join the modern world may be too great.C) Rigoberta Menchu of Guatemala, the Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1992, offers her thoughts in the beginning of the book Endangered Peoples. She notes that many people claim that native people are like stories from the past. They are ruins that have died. She disagrees strongly. She says native communities are not remains of the past. They have a future, and they have much wisdom and richness to offer the rest of the world.D) Art Davidson traveled thousands of miles around the world while working on the book. He talked to many people to gather their thoughts and feelings. Mr. Davidson notes that their desires are the same. People want to remain themselves~he says. They want to raise their children the way they were raised. They want their children to speak their mother tongue, their own language. They want them to have their parents' values and customs. Mr. Davidson says the people's cries are the same: "Does our culture have to die? Do we have to disappear as a people?"E) Art Davidson lived for more than 25 years among native people in the American state of Alaska. He says his interest in native peoples began his boyhood when he found an ancient stone arrowhead. The arrowhead was used as a weapon to hunt food. The hunter was an American Indian, long dead. Mr. Davidson realized then that Indians had lived in the state of Colorado, right where he was standing. And it was then, he says, that he first wondered: "Where are they? Where did they go? "He found answers to his early question. Many of the native peoples had disappeared. They were forced off their lands. Or they were killed in battle. Or they died from diseases brought by new settlers. Other native peoples remained, but they had to fight to survive the pressures of the modern world.F) The Gwich'in are an example of the survivors. They have lived in what is now Alaska and Canada for 10,000 years. Now about 5,000 Gwich'in remain. They are mainly hunters. They huntthe caribou, a large deer with big horns that travels across the huge spaces of the far north. For centuries, they have used all parts of the caribou: the meat for food, the skins for clothes, the bones for tools. Hunting caribou is the way of life of the Gwich'in.G) One Gwich'in told Art Davidson of memories from his childhood. It was a time when the tribe lived quietly in its own corner of the world. He spoke to Mr. Davidson in these words: "As long as I can remember, someone would sit by a fire on the hilltop every spring and autumn. His job was to look for caribou. If he saw a caribou, he would wave his arms or he would make his fire to give off more smoke. Then the village would come to life! People ran up to the hilltop. The tribes seemed to be at its best at these gatherings. We were all filled with happiness and sharing!"H) About ten years ago, the modern world invaded the quiet world of the Gwich' in. Oil companies wanted to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Preserve. This area was the please where the caribou gave birth to their young. The Gwich'in feared the caribou would disappear. One Gwich' in woman describes the situation in these words: "Oil development threatens the caribou. If the caribou are threatened, then thepeople are threatened. Oil company official and American lawmakers do not seem to understand. They do not come into our homes and share our food. They have never tried to understand the feeling expressed in our songs and our prayers. They have not seen the old people cry. Our elders have seen parts of our culture destroyed. They worry that our people may disappear forever."I) A scientist with a British oil company dismisses (驳回,打消) the fears of the Gwich'in. He also says they have no choice. They will have to change. The Gwich' in, however, are resisting. They took legal action to stop the oil companies. But they won only a temporary ban on oil development in the Arctic National Wildlife Preserve. Pressures continue on other native people, as Art Davidson describes in his book. The pressures come from expanding populations, dam projects that flood tribal lands, and political and economic conflicts threaten the culture, lands, and lives of such groups as the Quechua of Peru, the Malagasy of Madagascar and the Ainu of Japan.J) The organization called Cultural Survival has been in existence for 22 years. It tries to protect the rights and cultures of peoples throughout the world. It has about 12,000members. And it receives help from a large number of students who work without pay. Theodore MacDonald is director of the Cultural Survival Research Center. He says the organization has three main jobs. It does research and publishes information. It works with native people directly. And it creates markets for goods produced by native communities.K) Late last year, Cultural Survival published a book called State of the Peoples: a Global Human Rights Report on Societies in Danger. The book contains reports from researchers who work for Cultural Survival, from experts on native peoples, and from native peoples themselves. The book describes the conditions of different native and minority groups. It includes longer reports about several threatened societies, including the Penan of Malaysia and the Anishina be of North American. And it provides the names of organizations similar to Cultural Survival for activists, researchers and the press.L) David May bury-Lewis started the Cultural Survival organization. Mr. May bury-Lewis believes powerful groups rob native peoples of their lives, lands, or resources. About 6,000 groups are left in the world. A native group is one that has its own langue. It has a long-term link to a homeland. And it has governed itself. Theodore MacDonald says Cultural Survivalworks to protect the rights of groups, not just individual people. He says the organization would like to develop a system of early warnings when these rights are threatened .Mr. MacDonald notes that conflicts between different groups within a country have been going on forever and will continue. Such conflicts, he says, cannot be prevented. But they do not have to become violent. What Cultural Survival wants is to help set up methods that lead to peaceful negotiations of traditional differences. These methods, he says, are a lot less costly than war.46. Rigoberta Menchu, the Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1992, writes preface for the book Endangered Peoples.47. The book Endangered Peoples contents not only words, but also pictures.48. Art Davidson's initial interest in native people was aroused by an ancient stone arrowhead he found in his childhood, which was once used by an American Indian hunter.49. The native groups are trying very hard to balance between the ancient world and the modern world.50. By talking with them, Art Davidson finds that the native people throughout the world desire to remain themselves.51. Most of the Gwich'in are hunters, who live on huntingcaribou.52. Cultural Survival is an organization which aims at protecting the rights and cultures of peoples throughout the world.53. According to Theodore MacDonald, the Cultural Survival organization .would like to develop a system of early warnings when a society's rights are to be violated.54. The book State of the Peoples: a Global Human Rights Report on Societies in Danger describes the conditions of different native and minority groups.55. The Gwich' in tried to stop oil companies from drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Preserve for fear that it should drive the caribou away.答案详解:A)现在,是文化而非距离将世界各民族分隔开。

Many doctors, toget her with their patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems. In large hospitals and research centers, modern methods of therapy see m to focus on the physical disease without considering the patients' mental state. Patients may feel that they are being treated impersonally, like broken machines. S ome doctors have recognized this as a problem. They are now using psychological therapy with patients to use their own minds to fight their diseases. Because the patient is working with the medicine and the doctors against the disease, his or he r attitude changes. The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cur e him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fight.Mental therapyThe doctor knows that a disease affects a patient's body physically. The body of the patient (in this case, a man) changes because of the disease. He is not o nly physically affected, but as the physician knows, he also has an emotional resp onse to the disease. Because his mind is affected, his attitude and behavior chang e. The medical treatment might cure the patient's physical problems, but the patient 's mind must fight the emotional ones. For example, the studies of one doctor, Car l Simonton, M. D., have shown that a typical cancer patient (in this case, a woma n) has predictable attitudes. She typically feels depressed, upset, and angry. Her s elf-image is poor and she feels self-pity. As a result, her behavior changes. Becau se of her constant depression, she acts unfriendly toward her family, friends, doctor s, and nurses. Such attitudes and behaviors prevent the patient from getting well. Therefore, a doctor's treatment must help the patient change her attitudes. Simonton's method emphasizes treatment of the whole patient by treating both the body an d the mind.The attitude of a cancer patient who is receiving radiation therapy, an X-ray tr eatment, can become more positive. The physician who is following Simonton's psy chological treatment plan suggests that the patient imagine that he or she can see the tumor(肿瘤)in the body. In the mental picture, the patient "sees" a powerful beam of radiation like a million bullets of energy. The patient imagines the beam hi tting the tumor cells and causing them to shrink. For another cancer patient, Dr. Si monton might make another suggestion. This patient, with a different kind of cancer, needs to take capsules and pills several times a day. The doctor asks the patient to imagine the medicine going from the stomach into the bloodstream and to the cancer cells. The patient imagines that the medicine is like an army fighting the dis eased cells and sees the cancer cells gradually dying. His or her blood carries aw ay the dead cells. Both the medical therapy and the patient's positive attitude fight the disease.Doctors are not certain why this mental therapy works. However, this use of p sychology does help some patients because their attitudes about themselves chang e. They become more confident because they use the power within their own mind s to help stop the disease.Suggestion therapyAnother application of using the mind to help cure disease is the use of sugg estion therapy. Before making the suggestion, the doctor helps the patient to conce ntrate deeply. The patient (in this case, a man)thinks only about one thing. He bec omes so unaware of other things around him that he seems to be asleep. He is s aid to be in a trance (催眠状态). Then the physician makes "a suggestion" to the patient about the medical problem. The patient's mind responds to the suggestion even after the patient is no longer in the trance.. In this way, the patient uses his mind to help his body respond to treatment.Suggestion therapy helpful for both adults and childrenDoctors have learned that this use of psychology is helpful for both adults and children. For example, physicians have used suggestion to help adults deal with t he strong pain of some disease. Furthermore, sometimes the adult patient(in this c ase, a woman) worries about her illness so much That the anxiety keeps her from getting well. The right suggestions may help the patient to stop being anxious. Su ch treatment may help the patient with a chronic(慢性的)diseases. Asthma (哮喘)is an example of a chronic disorder. Asthma is a disease that causes the patient t o have difficulty in breathing. The patient starts to cough and sometimes has to fig ht to get the air that he or she needs. Psychology can help relieve the symptoms of this disorder. After suggestion therapy, the asthma patient breathes more easily.Physicians have learned that the psychological method is very useful in treatin g children. Children respond quickly to the treatment because they are fascinated b y it. For example, Dr. Basil R. Collison has worked with 121 asthmatic children in Sydney, Australia, and had good results. Twenty-five of the children had excellent r esults. They were able to breathe more easily, and they did not need medication. Another forty-three were also helped. The symptoms of the asthma occurred less fr equently, and when they did, they were not as strong. Most of the children also fel t better about themselves. Doctors have also used suggestion to change habits like nail-biting, thumb-sucking, and sleep-related problems.Response from the medical worldMany professional medical groups have accepted the medical use of psycholo gy because they recognize its value. Nobody knows how suggestion works; howeve r, doctors have learned that psychology has important applications in medicine.1. What does the passage mainly discuss?A) How to use the mind against disease.B) How modern methods of therapy focuses on the physical disease.C) Response from the medical world.D) How suggestion therapy benefits to adults and children.2. How does psychological therapy work?A) The patient waits for the medicine and treatment to cure him.B) The doctor uses medical treatment to cure the patient's problems.C) The doctor, the medicine, and the patient work together to fight disease.D) The patient uses his minds to cure himself.3. What can we learn from the studies of Carl Simonton, M. D.?A) The medical treatment can cure the patient's mental disease.B)The treatment of a patient by treating the body and the mind is necessary.C)The mental treatment is more important than medical treatment.D)Few patients have emotional response to the disease.4. The use of psychological therapy is helpful to some patients in that .A) the medical effect is better with psychological therapy than without itB) the patients can see a powerful beam of radiation hitting their tumor cellsC) the patients' attitudes towards themselves have changedD) the patients are easy to accept the methods the doctors use to treat them5. , the patient can use his mind to help his body respond to treatment.A) In medical treatmentB) In mental therapyC) In the tumor operationD) In suggestion therapy6.
