2018年英语四级阅读理解试题及答案9
2018年英语四级阅读理解试题及答案9 技能多样性 It’s very interesting to note where the debate about diversity(多样化) is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate(公司的) leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place,diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool of potential employees. And in looking at where birth rates are growing andat where the population is shifting, corporate America understands that expanding the pool means promotingpolicies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that does not occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need. Likewise, I don’t hear people in the academy saying.”Let’s go backward. Let’s go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy(不拘一格选人才)” (which was never true-we never had a meritocracy, although we’ve come closer to it in the last 30 years.) I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus has doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is betterbecause corporate board rooms or on college campuses. 练习题： Choose correct answers to the question: 1.The word”imperative”(Line5,Para.1) most probably refers to something _____ A.Superficial B.remarkable C.debatable D.essential 2.Which of the following groups of people still differ in their views on diversity?

2014年12月英语四级阅读新题型深度解析
一、段落信息匹配题
应对策略
1. 先看题目后看文章。尽管信息匹配题在考细节，但是题干涉及的细节信息往往反映文章的主旨或段落主题，所以，通过快速浏览题干中的若干条细节信息，考生可以迅速把握文章的主旨，从而能够在回头阅读原文时加快定位速度，节省阅读时间。
2. 先易后难，步步为营。采用由易到难的解题策略，可以提升考生的解题信心。对于那些能迅速找出定位信息返回的句子，考生不妨先做。而对于答题线索较少的题目，考生可留在最后再解答。
二、选词填空
应对策略
1. 精读文章开头部分文字，尤其是第一句，确定本文主题。文章主旨的确定对于篇章语境的整体把握意义重大。
2. 确定各单词的基本词性。这里所说的基本词性是指该单词最常见的词性。例如，turn一般作动词，但在动词短语at the turn of the century中，它也可以用作名词。不过，其最常用的情况是作动词，那么我们就把其归于动词类。如果做题时，我们发现空格处在一个介词后面，而介词后面是宾语，即介词后面应该是名词，若其它名词不能与之搭配，我们再考虑像turn这样既能用作动词又能用作名词的单词。
3. 设定词性类别：名，动，形，副，现在分词。本次考试与历年考试一致，所涉及的词性类别只局限于上述五类，四级考试该题型中，从未涉及指代词，介词，定冠词等虚词的填写。
4. 按照各单词的基本词性将15个单词逐一分别归类。
5. 根据基本的句法常识和逻辑意义进行填写。填写时，注意，上下文是否合乎语法，句子内部各成分间的搭配是否逻辑，句子与句子之间是否连贯一致。
三、深度阅读
应对策略
深度阅读总体上可以划分为主旨类题目和细节类题目。笔者发现，从05年开始，主旨类题目的比重大幅下降，细节题已然成为主流。
1. 一切以立足原文为基准。
2. 以文章信息为主导来选择一个原文表述一致的信息或者是同义改写的信息，以提高选项的正确率。
3. 务必确定答案所在位置.题干和答案紧密结合，构成一个独立完整不可分割的意义单位。我们在找答案的时候，绝对不能脱离题干。
4. 服从主旨原则。此处所谈的主旨包括段落主旨和全文主旨。把握文章主题，是正确快捷的解决阅读中的难题，取得阅读高分的基本前提。
5. 熟悉错误选项的设置方式，谨防干扰。
(1) 颠倒黑白。即选项和原文的基本观点或者事实相反，原文说西，选项说东，原文说坏，选项说好。
(2) 无中生有。即选项的内容在原文中根本就不存在。
(3) 张冠李戴：即原文说甲事物具有某特征，选项却张冠李戴。

Section B Directions: 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. 37、根据下列材料，请回答37-46题： How Your Language Affects Your Wealth and Health A. Does the language we speak determine how healthy and rich we will be? New research by Keith Chen of Yale Business School suggests so. The structure of languages affects our judgments and decisions about the future and this might have dramatic long-term consequences. B. There has been a lot of research into how we deal with the future. For example, the famous marshmallow (棉花软糖. studies of Walter Mischel and colleagues showed that being able to resist temptation is predictive of future success. Four-year-old kids were given a marshmallow and were told that if they did not eat that marshmallow and waited for the experimenter to come back, they would get two marshmallows instead of one. Follow-up studies showed that the kids who were able to wait for the bigger future reward became more successful young adults. C. Resisting our impulses for immediate pleasure is often the only way to attain the outcomes that are important to us. We want to keep a slim figure but we ~o want that last slice of pizza. Some people are better at delaying satisfaction than others. Those people have a better chance of accumulating wealth and keeping a healthy life style. They are less likely to be impulse buyers or smokers. D. Chen's recent, findings suggest that an unlikely factor, language, strongly affects our future-oriented behavior. Some languages strongly distinguish the present and the future. Other languages only weakly distinguish the present and the future. Chen's recent research suggests that people who speak languages that weakly distinguish the present and the future are better prepared for the future. They accumulate more wealth and they are better able to maintain their health. The way these people conceptualize (概念. the future is similar to the way they conceptualize the present As a result, the future does not feel very distant and it is easier for them to act in accordance with their future interests. E. Different languages have different ways of talking about the future. Some languages, such as English, require their speakers m refer to the future explicitly. Every time English-speaker stalk about the future, they have to use future markers such as "will". In other languages, such as Mandarin (汉语普通话., future markers are not obligatory. The future is often talked about similar to the way present is talked about and the meaning is understood from the context. Languages such as English constantly remind their speakers that future events are distant. For speakersof languages such as Mandarin, future feels closer. As aconsequent, resisting immediate impulses and investing for the future is easier for Mandarin speakers. F. Chen analyzed individual-level data from 76 developed and developing countries. Tiffs data includes people's economic decisions, such as whether they saved arty money last year, the languages they speak athome, demographics (人口统计特征., and cultural factors such as "saving is an important cultural value for me". He also analyzed indvidual-level data on people's retirement assets, smoking and exercising habits, and general health in older age. Lastly. he analyzed national-level data that includes national savings rates, country GDP and GDP growth rates, country demographics, and proportions of people speaking different languages. G. People's savings rates are affected by various factors such as their income, education level, age, religious affiliation(隶属关系. their countries' legal systems , and their cultural values. After those factors were accounted for, the effect of language on people's savings rates turned out to be big. Speaking a language that has obligatory future markers, such as English , makes people 30 percent less likely to save money for the future. This effect is as large as the effect of unemployment. Being unemployed decreases the likelihood of saving by about 30 percent as well. H. Similar analyses showed that speaking a language that does not have obligatory future markers, such as Mandarin, makes people accumulate more retirement assets, smoke less, exercise more, and generally be healthier in older age. Countries' national savings rates are also affected by language. Having a larger proportion of people speaking a language that does not have obligatory future marker smakes national savings rates higher.
