英语四级仔细阅读卷三

一．

36. N. saw 第一空显然缺少谓语，优先考虑动词，结合语义并根据Late November and December可以推出应选择过去式动词，故答案锁定saw.

37. F. decades 根据two，首选复数名词，结合语义，“ for the first time in the two decades”, 二十年来头一次。

38. H. globally 句子为主系表结构，不缺主要成分，所以首选副词和形容词，根据语义，ever表示“一直以来地、向来地”，“十一月向来是全球范围内最温暖的一个月。”

39. D. chances 缺少主语，并且谓语是are，所以首选复数形式的名词，结合前文Enjoy the snow now, “享受现在的雪吧”，因为“时机是好的”。

40. J. occurs 空格前方有主语，且是单数形式，而后面由when引导的时间状语从句的时态是一般现在时，所以主句谓语锁定第三人称单数形式的动词，只能选择occurs.

41. A. specific空格左为定冠词the，空格右为名词，中间只能选形容词，选择“特定的”符合语义。

42. B. associated 空格左为be动词，右边为介词with，中间只能是形容词或动词的过去分词形式，be associated with表示“与…有联系”，符合原意。

43. G. experiences 空格左为主语southern Africa，空格内应该为动词的第三人称单词形式，结合语义，选G，“南非经历着干燥的天气。

44. M. reduce 空格左为情态动词，空格内必须为动词原形，填reduce“减少”符合原题。

45. K. populations 空格与左边的large fish 共同构成动词support的宾语，只能选一个名词来作为名词词组，故选K，“大量的鱼群”。

二．

47. D Shouldn't preparing-and consuming-food be a source of comfort, pride or three-day science projects. I'm talking about simple, easy, everyday meals.

48. B There are plenty of recipes(食谱), how-to videos and cooking classes available to anyone who has a computer, smartphone or television. If anything, the information is overwhelming.

49. F 52% of those 65 or older cook at home five or more times per week; only a third if young people do.

50. O Like any skill, cooking gets easier as you do it more, every time you cook, you advance your level of skills.

51. G Back in the 1950s most of us grew up in households where Mom cooked virtually every night.

52. E My mission is to encourage green hands and those lacking time or money to feed themselves.

53. J by not cooking at home, we're not eating the right things, and the consequences are hard to overstate.

54. M To those Americans for whom money is a concern, my advice is simple: Buy what you can afford, and cook it yourself.

55. C  Nearly two-thirds of us grab fast food once a week, and we get almost 25% of our daily calories from snacks.

56. H Although frozen dinners were invented in the 40s, their popularity didn't boom until televisions became popular a decade or so later.

三、

Passage One

57. A

第一段第一句The wallet is heading for extinction.

58. B

At the most cutting-edge retail stores—Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance—you don't go and stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.

59. D

But earning money isn't quick or easy for most of us. Isn't it a bit weird that spending it should happen in half a blink(眨眼)of an eye?

60.

A

The wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers.

61. D

But I'll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment.

Passage Two

62. A

定位到第一段最后一句“varies by culture”， They are culture-related.

63. C

第三段“Russia’s other late nights and early mornings generally coincided with public holidays”，所以答案为C，They don’t sleep much on holidays

64. C

倒数第二段的“compared to Germans, Italians, and the French, who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the Cup”，原文的Germans, Italians, and the French就是题干中“Europeans”的同义改写，所以说他们缺乏睡眠的原因便是观看世界杯比赛。

65. B

最后一段第一句，说到了富人为何用机器设备记录睡眠的事实，再往下一句看，“And people who elect to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person”，记录睡眠的人是想要得到比普通人更多的睡眠。

66. B

最后一句If the most health-conscious among us have such deep swings in our shut-eye levels throughout the year, how much sleep are the rest of us losing? 作者提到了health-conscious，人们对健康的意识是缺乏的，对健康是视而不见的，因此选B。
