四年級閱讀力訓練答案英語
下面是我整理的，希望對大家有幫助。
When one looks back upon the fifteen hundred years that are the life span of the English language, he should be able to notice a number of significant truths. The history of our language has always been a history of constant change—at times a slow, almost imperceptible change, at other times a violent collision between two languages. Our language has always been a living growing organi *** , it has never been static. Another significant truth that emerges from such a study is that language at all times has been the possession not of one class or group but of many. 『At one extreme it has been the property of the mon, ignorant folk, who have used it in the daily business of their living, much as they have used their animals or the kitchen pots and pans.』① At the other extreme it has been the treasure of those who have respected it as an instrument and a sign of civilization, and who have struggled by writing it down to give it some permanence, order, dignity, and if possible, a little beauty.
As we consider our changing language, we should note here two developments that are of special and immediate importance to us. One is that since the time of the Anglo-Saxons there has been an almost plete reversal of the different devices for showing the relationship of words in a sentence. Anglo-Saxon ***old English*** was a language of many inflections. Modern English has few inflections. We must now depend largely on word order and function words to convey the meanings that the older language did by means of changes in the forms of words. Function words, you should understand, are words such as prepositions, conjunctions, and a few others that are used primarily to show relationships among other words. A few inflections, however, have survived. And when some word inflections e into conflict with word order, there may be trouble for the users of the language, as we shall see later when we turn our attention to such maters as WHO or WHOM and ME or I. The second fact we must consider is that as language itself changes, our attitudes toward language forms change also. 『The eighteenth century, for example, proced from various sources a tendency to fix the language into patterns not always set in and grew, until at the present time there is a strong tendency to restudy and re-evaluate language practices in terms of the ways in which people speak and write.』②
1.In contrast to the earlier linguists, modern linguists tend to .
A. attempt to continue the standardization of the language
B. evaluate language practices in terms of current speech rather than standards or proper patterns
C. be more concerned about the improvement of the language than its *** ysis or history
D. be more aware of the rules of the language usage
2.Choose the appropriate meaning for the word 「inflection」 used in line 4 of paragraph 2.
A. Changes in the forms of words.
B. Changes in sentence structures.
C. Changes in spelling rules.
D. Words that have similar meanings.
3.Which of the following statements is not mentioned in the passage? A. It is generally believed that the year 1500 can be set as the beginning of the modern English language.
B. Some other languages had great influence on the English language at some stages of its development.
C. The English language has been and still in a state of relatively constant change.
D. Many classes or groups have contributed to the development of the English language.
4. The author of these paragraphs is probably a***an*** .
A. historian B. philosopher C. anthropologist D. linguist
5.Which of the following can be best used as the title of the passage? A. The history of the English language.
B. Our changing attitude towards the English language.
C. Our changing language.
D. Some characteristics of modern English.

長難句解析
①【解析】「who」引導非限制性定語從句，修飾「the mon, ignorant folk」。「much as」引導狀語從句。「kitchen pots and pans」意為「鍋碗瓢盆」。【譯文】一方面它是那些普通人甚至無知民眾的財產，他們每天都像使喚他們的牲畜和鍋碗瓢盆一樣用著語言。
②【解析】 此句為一個復合倒裝句。「until」引導一個並列句，前一句的主語是「a tendency」，「to fix the language into patterns not always set in and grew」作「tendency」的定語，第二句的主語也是「a tendency」，
「to」後面的句子作「tendency」的定語，「in which」引導的定語從句修飾「ways」。 【譯文】例如在18世紀一種產生於各種來源的趨勢把語言固定在一個不常使用和不利於語言發展的模式中，而到了當今，主流是要反復研究、評價人們說話、寫作中的語言實踐。
答案與詳解
【短文大意】本文主要講述英語演變過程的一些特點，指出了古英語與現代英語的不同，以及語言學家對待語言形式的態度的變化。
1.B細節題。根據題干回原文中定位，閱讀文章時注意首末段及各段開頭的句子，這往往都是考點所在。這篇文章講的主要是英語語言演變的一些特點，指出了古英語與現代英語的不同，以及語言學家態度的轉變。本題問的正是現代語言學家與早期語言學家不同的傾向。根據文章末尾The eighteenth century, for example, proced from various sources a tendency to fix the language into patterns not always set in and grew, until at the present time there is a strong tendency to restudy and re-evaluate language practices in terms of the ways in which people speak and write. 現代語言學家傾向於根據人們說和寫的方式評價語言實踐，而不是像早期的語言學家根據一定的模式評價語言。選項B符合文章的意思。
2.A詞彙題。要根據上下文的資訊判斷單詞的意思。文章在第二段中間再次提到inflection時說，A few inflections, however, have survived. 後面文章又舉了WHO/WHOM和ME/I為例說明inflection，這是一篇關於語言學的文章，從例子可以看出inflection的意思應該是「單詞的變形」，選項A正確。
3.A細節題。根據文章的內容，選項A「普遍認為1500年是現代英語的起點」在文章中沒有提及，故為正確答案。文章第二句說The history of our language has always been a history of constant change - at times a slow, almost imperceptible change, at other times a violent collision between two languages. 我們語言的歷史是一個不斷變化的歷史——在一些時間里緩慢得幾乎難以察覺，在另一些時間里則是兩種語言的激烈碰撞。由此可以推斷一些其他的語言對英語的發展有重大影響，選項B符合文章的意思。
4.D詞彙題。此題考查考生的推測能力和詞彙量，文章講述的是英國語言演進的具體細節，最適當的答案應該是D。作者很可能是一位語言學家。A答案***歷史學家***和C答案***人類學家***也可以有點迷惑性。B答案***哲學家***是最不符合的。
5.C主旨題。本文從各個方面談及英語作為一種語言的發展變化，但並不是講述英語的歷史。所以選項A不對，選項C作為文章的題目最為貼切。選項B只是文章闡述的一個方面，不夠全面。文章是在談到英語的不斷變化的時候談到了現代英語的一些特點，所以選項D也失之於片面。
Culture is one of the most challenging elements of the international marketplace. 『This system of learned behavior patterns characteristic of the members of a given society is constantly shaped by a set of dynamic variables: language, religion, values and attitudes, manners and customs, aesthetics, technology, ecation, and social institutions.』① To cope with this system, an international manager needs both factual and interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge can be learned; its interpretation es only through experience.
The most plicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment stem from the fact that one cannot learn culture—one has to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the business world on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is that business is business the world around, following the model of Pepsi and McDonald』s. In some cases, globalization is a fact of life; however, cultural differences are still far from converging.
The other school proposes that panies must tailor business approaches to indivial cultures. Setting up policies and proceres in each country has been pared to an organ transplant; the critical question centers around acceptance or rejection. The major challenge to the international manager is to make sure that rejection is not a result of cultural myopia or even blindness.
Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large panies that earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas. The internationally successful panies all share an important quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but rather built their operations carefully by following the most basic business principles. These principles are to know your adversary, know your audience, and know your customer.
1. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. All international managers can learn culture.
B. Business diversity is not necessary.
C. Views differ on how to treat culture in business world.
D. Most people do not know foreign culture well.
2. According to the author, the model of Pepsi .
A. is in line with the theories of the school advocating the business is business the world around
B. is different from the model of McDonald』s
C. shows the reverse of globalization
D. has converged cultural differences
3. The two schools of thought .
A. both propose that panies should tailor business approaches to indivial cultures
B. both advocate that different policies be set up in different countries C. admit the existence of cultural diversity in business world
D. Both A and B
4. This article is supposed to be most useful for those .
A. who are interested in researching the topic of cultural diversity
B. who have connections to more than one type of culture
C. who want to travel abroad
D. who want to run business on International Scale
5. According to Fortune, successful international panies .
A. earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas
B. all have the quality of patience
C. will follow the overseas local cultures
D. adopt the policy of internationalization
Vocabulary
1. dynamic adj. 動態的 2. variable n. 變數
aesthetics n. 美學 4. factual adj. 事實的
5. interpretative adj. 解釋的 6. converge v. 聚合
7. transplant v. 移植8. myopia n. 近視 9. adversary n. 對手
長難句解析
①【解析】此句雖然很長，但考生只要認清它的主幹，就很容易了解本句的意思。這個句子為一個簡單句，主語為：「this system」，謂語為「is shaped」。
【譯文】特定社會成員特點構成的行為方式體系不斷地被一系列動態變數所左右：如語言、信仰、價值與態度、禮儀與風俗、審美、技術、教育及社會體制。
答案與詳解
【短文大意】本文主要講述文化背景對商業運作的影響，文中列舉了商界中存在的對於文化多樣性的兩種觀點。
C推斷題。意為「對在商業中怎樣對待文化有著不同意見」。 文化在商業中是一個很具挑戰性的因素。不同的國家與地區可能會有不同的文化體系。在商業中，應該怎樣對待不同的文化，商業界存在著不同的看法。
2. A細節題。意為「……與同意世界商業一體化的派別的主張是一致的」。 Pepsi採納的是國際化的商業風格，這與那些主張國際化的派別的意見是相一致的。
3. C推斷題。意為「承認商業世界中文化的多元性」。兩個派別都承認商業世界中文化的多元性。他們的不同在於，應該對待不同的文化，應該搞國際化還是對不同的文化採取不同的策略。
4. D主旨題。由文中的例子可以知道，作者主要關心的並不是研究多種文化形態，而是文化背景對商業運作的影響。所以D是正確答案。
5. B細節題。意為「都具有耐心這一素質」。並非所有成功的國際公司的海外收入都占總收入的20%或以上。它們也不一定全都接納海外的當地文化，或是採納國際化策略。

兩只青蛙
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, did you not hear us? The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

另一隻青蛙繼續使勁地跳。那群青蛙再次向他大喊，要他放棄努力等死算了。他卻跳得更歡，最終跳了出來。在他出來之後，其餘的青蛙問他：「你沒聽到我們的話嗎？」這只青蛙解釋說他是個聾子，以為他們一直在鼓勵他呢。

China has been a powerful country for the most part of the past three thousand years. China is now rising again. Why is that so surprising to people? History is the best evidence. The rise of China is just a matter of when, not if. Plus, do you want $100 jeans? Do you want $200 shoes? Do you want $3000 computers? If the answers are NO, you\'d better thank China and appreciate the benefits that it brings to your daily life.
中國在過去3000年歷史中大部分時間當中都是個強大的國家。中國現在再次崛起，為什麼人們會感到如此奇怪？歷史是最好的證明。中國崛起只是個時間問題，而不是是否能崛起的問題。另外，你希望賣100美元一條的牛仔褲，200美元一雙鞋，3000美元的電腦嗎？如果不願意，你必須要感謝中國，感謝中國為你日常生活做出的貢獻。
Keep Your Direction 堅持你的方向
What would you do if you failed? Many people may choose to give up. However, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.
On your way to success, you must keep your direction. It is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way. Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.
Direction means objectives. You can get nowhere without an objective in life.
You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. In this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.
翻譯：
如果失敗了你會怎麼做？很多人可能會選擇放棄。然而，要想成功，最可靠的方法就是堅持你的方向和目標。
在通往成功的路上，你必須堅持你的方向。它就像一盞燈，在黑暗中為你指路，幫助你度過難關。否則，你很容易就會迷失方向或猶豫不前。
方向意味著目標。人生如果沒有目標，將一事無成。
你可以試著把你的目標寫在紙上，並制定實現目標的計劃。這樣，你就會懂得如何合理安排時間，如何正確地支配時間。而且你還要有這樣的信念：只要你一直堅持自己的方向，你就一定可以成功。

Passage Eight (The Improving Economic Situation In Greece)
Greece, economically, is in the black. With very little to export other than such farm procts as tobacco, cotton and fruit, the country earns enough from 『invisible earnings』 to pay for its needed, growing imports. From the sending out of things the Greeks, earn only $285 million; from tourism, shipping and the remittances of Greeks abroad, the country takes in an additional #375 million and this washes out the almost $400 million by which imports exceed exports.
It has a balanced budget. Although more than one drachma out of four goes for defense, the government ended a recent year with a slight surplus -- $66 million. Greece has a decent reserve of almost a third of a billion dollars in gold and foreign exchange. It has a government not dependent on coalescing incompatible parties to obtain parliamentary majorities.
In thus summarizing a few happy highlights, I don』t mean to minimize the vast extent of Greece』s problems. It is the poorest country by a wide margin in Free Europe, and poverty is widespread. At best an annual income of $60 to $70 is the lot of many a peasant, and substantial unemployment plagues the countryside, cities, and towns of Greece. There are few natural resources on which to build any substantial instrial base. Some years ago I wrote here:
「Greek statesmanship will have to create an atmosphere in which home and foreign savings will willingly seek investment opportunities in the back ward economy of Greece. So far, most American and other foreign attempt have bogged down in the Greek government』s red tape and shrewdness about small points.」
Great strides have been made. As far back as 1956, expanding tourism seemed a logical way to bring needed foreign currencies and additional jobs to Greece. At that time I talked with the Hilton Hotel people, who had been examining hotel possibilities, and to the Greek government division responsible for this area of the economy. They were hopelessly deadlocked in almost total differences of opinion and outlook.
Today most of the incredibly varied, beautiful, historical sights of Greece have new, if in many cases modest, tourist facilities. Tourism itself has jumped from approximately $31 million to over $90 million. There is both a magnificent new Hilton Hotel in Athens and a completely modernized, greatly expanded Grande Bretagne, as well as other first-rate new hotels. And the advent of jets has made Athens as accessible as Paris or Rome – without the sky-high prices of traffic-choked streets of either.

寫作方法與文章大意
這是一篇以過去和現在對比的手法，論述了希臘經濟，主要是旅遊業的發展。過去，希臘以無形資產贏得之利潤，來消除赤字，還可稍有節余。但貧窮、事業情況嚴重，政府辦事拖拉、繁瑣也影響國外的投資，雖然早在1956年就准備擴展旅遊業，但意見分歧。現在，情況大變，就旅遊一項年收入由3100萬增至9000萬美元。
答案詳解
1. B 希臘經濟形式的改善。文章圍繞這一中心而寫。文章一開始就提出希臘出口除了農產品之外，沒有什麼東西，而無形資產如旅遊、運輸和國外的匯款等可掙得37500萬美元。兩項加在一起來抵消入超赤字近4億美元，稍有結余。第三段指出，希臘是自由歐洲最窮的國家，許多農民年收入為60－70美元。失業現象席捲城市鄉鎮，建立工業基地的自然資源極少。政府的繁瑣事務程序，關注瑣事等情況使美國和其他國家試圖展開工作陷於停滯狀態。第四段開始指出1956年起開拓旅遊業，不過意見還是分歧。第五斷提出今天驚人的變化，美麗的.歷史古城呈現新貌，就旅遊一項收入由3100萬增至9000萬美元。旅館面貌大變。
A.希臘的收支。C.旅遊的價值。D.軍事費用。
2. B少於2美元一星期。文章第三段第三句：最佳情況，年收入為60－70美元使大多數農民的份額。所以B項最接近年收入。
A.60美元一星期。C.一天一美元。D.一個月10美元。
3. A 百分之25以上用於軍事。第二段：雖然四個德拉克馬中有一個用於國防，政府最終還稍有結余――6600萬美元。
B.比收入的還多。C.十億金子中的三分之一。D.少於百分之25。
4. C單一大黨。第二段：希臘的政府不依靠水火不相容的政黨之間的合作來取得一會的多數席位，這說明是單一大黨。
A.獨裁、專政。B.君主政體。D.太多的繁瑣程序。
5. A總計幾乎在7億美元左右。第一段中提到希臘出口商品價值28500萬美元，而進口超出出口4億美元。兩者相加為6億2千5百萬美元，相當於幾乎在7億美元左右。
B.和出口平衡。C.由旅遊者支付。D.花費6600萬美元。
