2022年12月英语四级阅读真题及答案解析(新东方在线版)新

2022年12月英语四级阅读真题及答案解析(新东方在线版)新

2022年12月英语四级阅读真题及答案解析(新东方在线版)无论是选词填空、长篇阅读还是认真阅读,与在四级课堂上讲到的解题技巧都有很高的契合度。

首先一起来谈谈选词填空这个题型。

总的来说,考点仍旧是课堂上反复跟大家强调的,用我们上课讲到的快速解题法则很快能得到正确答案。

首先第一步分析选项词性。

今年名词考2个,动词考5个,形容词考1个,副词2个。

如此一来,我们很快把15选1缩小到了最多是7选1,最少的状况是1选1。

另外,请留意,名词通过单复数,动词通过时态和非谓语动词还可以进一步缩小范围。

选词填空答案如下:26. F Damage27. B associated28 .M sources29 .D constant30 .G described31 .E control32 .H equals33 .K regularly34. I exclusively35 .O vehicles长篇阅读难度持平,用定位法则快速找定位即可,特殊要留意的是题干中只消失的大写专出名词、数字、时间、连词符和只消失过一次的表达。

今年的匹配题比较难,少数题干消失了同义替换的现象,大多数还是根据我们说的用到的是类似的表达和词性的替换。

匹配题答案如下:36-40 DBGFI 41-45 FCJEG36. More than half of the food Americans eat is factory-produced37.There is a special program that assigns doctors to give advice to shoppers in food stores.38.There is growing evidence from research that food helps patients recover from various illnesses.39. A healthy breakfast can be prepared quickly and easily.40.Training a patient to prepare healthy fod can change their life.41. One food-as-medicine program not only prescribes food for treatment but teaches patientshow to cook it.42. Scott is nat keen on cooking food herself thinking it would simply be a waste of time43. Diabetes patients are advised to eat more plant-based fooding food as medicine is no novel idea but the movement is making headway these days.45. Americans high rates of various illesses result from the way they eat.再来谈谈认真阅读部分。

In some cases, it might be the one piece of 2_____ that gets a suspect charged and eventually convicted. But what if it’s a false match?

And while two or more people may share a couple of individual characteristics, the 6_____ of those people sharing 20 0r 30 individual characteristics is so unlikely that many handwriting analysts would say it’s impossible.When comparing two 7_____- one by a known author and the other unknown, the process of handwriting analysis starts not with checking for similarities, but with checking for 8_____. It’s the differences that initially determine if it’s possible that the same person wrote both pieces of text. If there are key differences in enough9_____ characteristics, and those differences do not appear to be the result of simulation, then the two documents were not written by the same person.
