近五年英语四级阅读理解
2018年英语四级阅读理解试题及答案3
工资烂慎数孝者
It is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement because once you are inside, the organizational constraints (约束) influence wage increases. One thing, however, is certain: your chances of getting the raise you feel you deserve are less if you don’t at least ask for it. Men tend to ask for more, and they get more, and this holds true with other resources, not just pay increases. Consider Beth’s story:
I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We had cubicle (小饥首隔间) offices and window offices.I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles, several males who were hired after me also went to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.
It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit, but “nice” isn’t a quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay, you’ll probablyhave to ask for it.
Performance is your best bargaining chip (筹码) when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to demonstrate that you deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs (a new client or a sizable contract, for example) just before merit pay decisions are beingmade, you are more likely to get the raise you want.
Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market. What will someone else pay for your services?
Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared touse communication style to guide the direction of the interaction.
练习题：
Choose correct answers to the question:
1. According to the passage, before taking a job, a person should ________.
A. demonstrate his capability
B. give his boss a good impression
C. ask for as much money as he can
D. ask for the salary he hopes to get
2. What can be inferred from Beth’s story?
A. Prejudice against women still exists in some organizations.
B. If people want what they deserve, they have to ask for it.
C. People should not be content with what they have got.
D. People should be careful when negotiating for a job.
3. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. unfairness exists in salary increases
B. most people are overworked and underpaid
C. one should avoid overstating one’s performance
D. most organizations give their staff automatic pay raises
4. To get a pay raise, a person should ________.
A. advertise himself on the job market
B. persuade his boss to sign a long-term contract
C) try to get inside information about the organization
D) do something to impress his boss just before merit pay decisions
5. To be successful in negotiations, one must ________.
A. meet his boss at the appropriate time
B. arrive at the negotiation table punctually
C. be good at influencing the outcome of the interaction
D. be familiar with what the boss likes and dislikes
1.[D] 推理判断题。根据文章第1句。开头立论：“It is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement在进入公司以前就谈妥你的最初工资要求要更容易些”。因此，在接受一份工作前应该先提出期望薪金要求，即D。注意C中as much…as he can意思太绝对，不妥。
2.[B] 推理判断题。Beth的故事是为了证明第1段提出的观点，主要依据第2段第1句，第3段最后一句再次印证。核心词为ask for。
3.[A] 推理判断题。从Beth的故事中不难总结出：如果你要求加薪或提升，你可能就会得到满足;你如果不要求，老板就可能不予考虑。因此在salary increase中含有很大的主观因素，故而unfair。直接依据为第3段第1句。
4.[D] 事实细节题。根据倒数第3段，performance“工作表现”，timing“抓住时机”和information“利用信息”是加薪的三大筹码。D与其中对timing的阐述一致。
5.[C] 事实细节题。最后一段指出，带着准备好的筹码去跟老板商谈加薪，并在合适的时候拿出来,而且要运用一定的交际手段引导谈判的发展方向，即C。注意其中place your chips on the table at the appropriate time “在适当的时候拿出筹码”不等于A中的meet his boss at the appropriate time。

⑵ 英语四级阅读理解技巧和方法
英语四级作为当今大学生必过的科目，有许多大学生因为做题的技巧不对或是哗禅毁理解的不深导致失分过多，以下是由我为大家整理的“英语四级阅读理解技巧和方法”，仅供参考，欢迎大家阅读。
大学英语四级阅读理解5大技巧
答题技巧一： 详略得当
对于大学英语四级阅读来说，根据题目的“题眼”快速在文章中找到答案是最关键的，这样我们就要在阅读时注意详略得当。克服精读精益求精的习惯，做到有信息处精读，无信息处略读，略读处一扫而过。题目中数字、人名等信息(题眼)在原文中对应的部分必须详读。而对所要解释或证明的观点的细节举例处或者通常有数个名词的并列项，它们不是完整的主谓宾的句子，因此无法与问题对应的详细列举处，都可以略读。
答题技巧二：显性信息
查读的信息通常是显性信息，只要将问题在原文中进行准确定位就能得到正确答案，一般不需要做推理。特别提示：考生对于以袭扮下一些显性信息也应注意
(1) 表示因果关系的词或词组：because， reason， e to， since， so that， therefore等。
(2) 表示目的关系的词或词组：in order to， so as to， by等。
(3) 表示转折关系的词或词组：but， however， yet等。
(4) 表示对比关系的词或词组：contrary to， unlike， like等。
答题技巧三：题文同序
英语四级考试的阅读部分，问题顺序与原文顺序一致(有时顺序不一致)，这就要求考生应该按照题目的顺序依次做题。
答题技巧四：分解对应
分解对应四分法：快速将问题分解成4个部分(主A 谓B宾C+其他D)，与原文进行对比。
答题技巧五：选小不选大
四级阅读中，问题的范围必须小于原文范围，反之则不选。
不能选的选项为：
(1) 选项的信息与原文内容相反。
(2) 选项将原文的意思张冠李戴。
(3) 将原文中的不确定因素转化为确定因素。
(4) 改变原文中的条件、范围等。
拓展阅读：英语四级考试时间分配
1、一般情况下，按照顺序答题。首先应该是短文写作题。看清题目，想清楚立意后，尽量早些动笔，如果对自己的写作信心不够的同学，建议写草稿。不过最好通过平时训练直接写到答题卡上，这样节省时间，注意书写一定要正解清楚。写作建议用时30分钟，写作占试卷总分的15%。
2、9:35的时候可能老师会提醒还有5分钟就开始听力。这时候不要紧张，如果还有一两句就可以完成写作，那就写完，如果还有很多内容，那么放下写作先听听力，因为听力毕竟只有一次机会，而且分数占到35%。至于听力的时间分配，我只想说听过之后不要再浪费时间思考，因为你思考不出不存在客观题目的答案的。时间和放音时间一样，30分钟。
3、听力完成后如果写作稍有疏漏，可以用乱备一两分钟时间弥补，另外尽快进入答阅读题的环节。因为四级时间很紧，根本没办法分心几分钟。阅读题有三个部分，选词填空，长阅读和精细阅读，三部分总工时间建议40分钟，可以延长到45分钟，但是绝不能超过。阅读部分占总分的35%。具体建议选词填空6分钟左右，长阅读11分钟，精细阅读23分钟到25分钟。
4、完成阅读后，开始进入汉译英，也就是段落翻译。段落翻译分数占据总分的15%左右，处于难度以及分数考虑，给出25-30分钟的时间进行段落翻译。翻译是注重意译，千万不要逐字逐句排列，那样会很生硬，分数可能也不高。
到达11:15的时候，就应该停笔了。按照安排的时间，大概130分钟答题，最后剩下五分钟可以解决一些遗留问题，比如涂卡，比如检查个人信息，比如查缺补漏等。
⑶ 四级英语阅读理解解题技巧及分析
四级英语阅读理解解题技巧及分析如下：
第一步，读题干并找出关键词。由于仔细阅读的文章较长县考试时间有限，建议太家先从读题开始，明白题丛饥目问的是什么了，再到文章中找答案。
第三步，仔细分析定位段落内容，选择正确选项。找出定位段落后，大家就可以开始对照选项了，排除干扰项，腊郑明选出与原文表达一致的选项即可。需轮告要大家注意的是，选项中可能会出现同义替换的情况，如用教高级的词汇替换原文中出现的词汇，此时就需要大家用到平时的积累，并仔细对比、分析了。
那么对于无法定位到特定段落的主旨大意题，同学们要如何处理呢?其实我们同样不需要阅读完整篇文章，一般只需阅读每段的首、尾句就可以知道每一段的大意，整合起来也就知道全文大意了。
⑷ 大学英语四级的阅读理解技巧
一、大纲的要求，对主体细节推理以及态度题有所把握，对阅读速度的要求：每分钟70个单词。
二、四级文章本身的特点：
1、结构：
1)文科文章常有的一些结构
A、现象解释型(文章一开始给出一个现象然后对现象进行解释，一般都会在第一段的末句是一个问句，段末是问号。就是要我们寻找回答，问题就是一个现象，我们就要寻找解释，来做主题。)解释即为文章的主题所在。常被考到的有：现象本身;解释;作者对解释的评价。
理科文章解释主题常有两种方式：1)罗列式的 2)用实验来解释主题
文中加引号的词，表明该词在原文中有特定的含义，表达并非最表面的意思
问题中出现了一开始就提到的现象时，答案通常针对文章主题。
B、问题解决方案型(文章一开始给出一个问题，对问题给出一个解决方案。典型的文章：2001年6月的第一篇文章。问题—problem 第一问题本身考一道题，第二造成问题的原因是，第三问题的解决方案是，第四作者对解决方案的态度，正评价还是副评价，肯定还是否定。思路比较固定，只要是解决方案一般都是不行的。)
C、结论解释型(在文科文章的数量是最大的。文章一开始给出一结论，然后对结论进行解释，数量极多。)
2)理科文章的结构
A、现象解释型(结构与文科文章不一样，理科文章首句出问号，常暗示指现象，有现象就要寻找解释。)
B、问题解决方案型(成果型在理科文章里很多，2001-6)
C、实验型文章(文科文章可以颠三倒四的把问题反复地说，理科文章一般比较客观，要说明问题一般用实验来说。)
2、体裁，以说明和议论为主。
原因：四级和四级以上的文章具有的特征——academic学术性的，学术性的文章用记叙文说不清楚，只能用说明和议论。说明文：作者没有太多的观点，只给出一些数据和事实，让你自己去推理、综合。
启发：1、关注重点不同。对于说明文而言注意文中的定义、概念、重要数据和细节。对于议论文而言注意作者的结论和观点。主要是看作者支持什么反对什么。
2、文章的重心。四级文章无论说明议论，四级文章的重心一般靠前。两种模式：A、一根主线，一开始就摆出文章的主题。对一个方面进行具体论述。B、花开两朵，各表一枝。文章一开始就出现两个概念或者两个方面，文章论述两个方面一般答案里也包含两个方面。
3、句子结构复杂
常见的难句类型：1、多重复合句，重点是以it为形式主语的复合句。要很开地看出重心，主要注意抓主干和断句。(主谓宾)
2)多重并列句，一般并列句可以用and来连接，另一种是肯定否定形式的并列句，比如：not……but ， not only……but also， but 和but also 后面的才是作者强调的。
3)经典被动句
4)倒装句典型结构主要是主系表结构倒装为表系主结构。方法：第一看系动词，第二看第一个词，如果第一个词有形容词性而又不修饰别的词，就肯定是个表语。一般是为了强调表语，所以倒装。This is of great importance. 倒装为 ： Of great importance is …… of great 是形容词变名词。
5)双重否定=肯定
6)比较结构 more……than 在more之后才是重点 ， less……than 在than后面的是重点.
段首出现比较级一般都会出题的。
三、如何准备英语四级阅读
1、练习阅读方法，提高阅读速度。
传统的三种方法：1)先看文章后作题。是用这种方法应注意三点：①注意文章中心与作者基本观点，即抓大的放小的。②注意重要细节的位置，第一遍阅读时在了解主题之后知道某个东西在哪里，胜过你知道他是什么。③阅读速度稍快。不能过分沉迷于原文，速度要快一点。
2)先看问题再读文章 要抓对重点适用于文章：①难度较大的文章 ②只包含一两段的流水账文章。流水账文章段落少层次感较差，可以先看题目看清问题，确定大概的位置。③细节题较多的文章。缺点：对主题把握不够明确。
3)读一层意思做一道题，读文章做题交叉进行。
本方法适用于：1、段落较多的文章 2、阅读速度较慢的同学。
注意事项：①每次阅读一小段或者一长段的一半;②阅读速度比第一种阅读方法要稍慢一些，力求弄清本段意思3每次读新的内容之前，最好把接下来要回答的问题要先看一下。每篇文章为9分钟，读原文要5分钟，做题要4分钟
注意不良的阅读习惯：1. 逐词指读(正确方法要读意群) 2.出声阅读
2、分析句子结构注意句子的主干，其他可以不看
3、熟悉体型
主题 (main mainly primary primarily中心思想 写作目的 标题)
细节(定位原文关注考试原则)
词意(包括指带 上下文推断词义词根 )
推理(细节性推理题 infer题型 conclude题型)
态度(表示态度的首段选项的含义)
⑸ 2019年6月大学英语四级阅读理解训练三篇
2019年6月大学英语四级阅配歼读理解培猛冲训练：梦
Of all the components of a good night's sleep, dreams seem to be least within our control. In dreams, a window opens into a world where logic is suspended and dead people speak. A century ago, Freud formulated his revolutionary theory that dreams were the disguised shadows of our unconscious desires and fears; by thelate 1970s, neurologists had switched to thinking of them as just "mental noise"-the random byprocts of the neural repair work that goes on ring sleep. Now researchers suspect that dreams are part of the mind's emotional thermostat, regulating moods while the brain is "off line." And one leading authority says that these intensely powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but actually brought under conscious control, to help us sleep and feel better. "It's your dream," says Rosalind Cartwright, chair of psychologyat Chicago's Medical Center, "if you don't like it, change it."
he link between dreams and emotions shows up among the patients in Cartwright's clinic. Most people seem to have more bad dreams early in the night, progressing toward happier ones before awakening, suggesting that they are working through negative feelings generated ring the day. Because our conscious mind is occupied with daily life we don't always think about the emotional significance of the day's events-until, it appears, we begin to dream.
知脊And this process need not be left to the unconscious. Cartwright believes one can exercise conscious control over recurring bad dreams. As soon as you awaken, identify what is upsetting about the dream. Visualizehow you would like it to end instead; the next time it occurs, try to wake up just enough to control its course. With much practice people can learn to, literally, do it in their sleep.
At the end of the day, there's probably little reason to pay attention to our dreams at all unless they keep us from sleeping or "we wake up in panic," Cartwright says. Terrorism, economic uncertainties and general feelings of insecurity have increased people's anxiety. Those suffering from persistent nightmares should seek help from a therapist. For the rest of us, the brain has its ways of working through bad feelings.Sleep-or rather dream-on it and you'll feel better in the morning.
练习题：
Choose correct answers to the question:
1.By saying that “dreams are part of the mind's emotional thermostat," (Lines 4-5, Para. 1) the researchers mean that _______.
A.we can think logically in the dreams too
B.dreams can be brought under conscious control
C.dreams represent our unconscious desires and fears
D.dreams can help us keep our mood comparatively stable
2.What did Cartwright find in her clinic?
A.Most bad dreams were followed by happier ones.
B.Divorced couples usually have more bad dreams.
C.One’s dreaming process is related to his emotion.
D.People having negative feelings dream more often.
3.Cartwright believed with much practice，we can learn to _____.
A.control what dreams to dream
B.sleep well without any dreams
C.wake up in time to stop the bad dreams
D.identify what is upsetting about the dreams
4.The author points out that a person who has constant bad dreams should ______
A.learn to control his dreams
B.consult a doctor
C.sleep and dream on it
D.get rid of anxiety first
5.The author most probably thinks that controlling dreams is ______.
A.a good practice
B.a new discovery
C.helpful for everyone
D.not essential for everyone
参考答案及解析
1.[D] 词义理解题。在第1段第4句中，逗号后面的regulating moods是对emotional thermostat的功能进行解释说明，因此可以推断出选项D正确。
2.[C] 事实细节题。最具干扰的是选项A，因为其陈述与第2段第2句的陈述有点相似,但是，此长句说的是大多数人上半夜做噩梦，之后都会做好梦，而不是像选项A中所说大多数噩梦之后是好梦。而且，根据本段第1 句，很明显，选项C是这一句的近义替换。
3 [C] 推理判断题。本题考査对代词的理解。在第3段的最后一句中，代词it应指上文说到的控制噩梦，及时醒来等做法，因此只有选项C涉及了其中一个做法。选项A太泛了，选项B和D在文中并无提及。
4.[B] 事实细节题。本题考查根据构词法猜测词义的能力。解题关键是推断最后一段第3句中therapist的意义，在考纲词汇表中，therapy是“治疗”的意思，因此，therapist应该是专门负责某种治疗的医生，由此可见，选项B是对原文seek help from a therapist的近义替换。
5.[D] 观点态度题。根据最后一句可以推断作者认为如无必要，梦还是不要控制的好。做梦会让你早上感觉舒服一些，因此本题应选D。
2019年6月大学英语四级阅读理解训练：机器人跳舞
The dancers stand motionless at their position and the room grows silent. But as the music starts, they began to move, bending, turning and waving their fans gracefully as they perform. a traditional Japanese dance. Yoshihiro Kuroki watches in silence, occasionally making notes. But as the dance ends, he beams with happiness. The performance has been flawless.
There have been many performances of traditional Japanese dances over the centuries, but this one is unique,because it is performed not by human dancers but by robots. And the performance takes place not in a dance studio but in a laboratory of Sony Corp.'s Entertainment Robot Co. in Shinagawa, Japan, where Kuroki isgeneral manager. He is the mastermind behind a series of even more capable humanoid entertainment robots,starting with the Sony Dream Robot, or SDR, in 1997, up to the current QRIO in 2003.
These delightful machines are only 58 cm tall, about the size of a newborn infant, weigh about 7 kg, and move with 38 degrees of freedom, each with its own servomotor(辅助马达).
QRIO's predecessor, the SDR4X, announced in 2002, can walk, dance, sing, speak, recognize faces, and understand continuous speech. Each robot has two charge-coupled-device cameras to detect color and position andcan locate a colored ball, move toward it, and kick it into a goal. It also has contact sensors in severaljoints to avoid pinching real human fingers. Seeing the robot perform, it is difficult to remember that there is no sentience(知觉)behind those glass eyes.
练习题：
Choose correct answers to the question:
1.Which of the following is the most suitable title of this passage?
A.New Entertainment Robots Proced in Japan.
B.QRIO the Robot Dancers.
C.Robots Man's Best Friend.
D.An Extraordinary Performance in Sony's Lab.
2.Yoshihiro Kuroki ______.
A.is excited when the robots are performing a traditional Japanese dance
B.keeps silent because he is a little unsatisfied with the new proct
C.witnesses the creation of a series of entertainment robots
D.is an executive manager of Sony Corp.
3.Which aspect of the robots is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.The vividness of their motion.
B.Their pleasant appearance.
C.Their smart designing principles.
D.Their communicative ability.
4.The Sony Dream Robot was___
A.the first human-like entertainment robot developed by the Sony Corp
B.as capable as the QRIO of speaking,dancing,singing and walking
C.largest among all the entertainment robot developed by the Sony Corp
D.the first entertainment robot sold at the market by the Sony Corp
5.The robot can locate colored balls by mens of ____
A.a charge-coupled device
B.two cameras
C.two contacts sensors
D.a digital detector
参考答案及解析
1.[A] 主旨大意题。标题需要既全面又突出地概括文章的主题。本文先是描述“舞蹈演员”，然后揭晓这是些“机器人”(第2段第1句)，接着对Sony公司的一些机器人产品进行详细介绍。选项A比较全面地概括了文章内容。选项B、D只是涉及细节，不能全面地概括本文的内容。而C又过于笼统，不具有针对性。
2.[C] 事实细节题。选项C符合第2段最后一句“He is the mastermind behind a series of... robots...”。仔细阅读有关的细节信息会发现,第1段第3句可帮助否定选项A。第1段最后两句可帮助否定选项B。另外，根据第2段倒数第2句可否定选项D。
3.[D] 事实细节题。全文分四段，分别讨论机器人三方面的特点：第1段和第2段描述机器人舞蹈演员栩栩如生的表演，即选项A;第3段描写它们的外表，即选项B;第4段介绍它们巧妙的设计，即选项C;只有选项D是没有提到的，故为答案。
4.[A] 推理判断题。该句中的分词结构“starting with...”表明the Sony Dream Robot是第一个人形娱乐机器人，因此选项A正确。文章在最后一段的第1句提到两种能说话、跳舞的机器人，但没有提到SDR是否和它们一样，由此可否定选项B。在第3段讨论机器人大小的时候也没有提到SDR体型最大，因此选项C不正确。选项D在文中没有讨论到。
5.[B] 事实细节题。该句中“two…cameras to...”的结构表明这两个摄像头可以用于定位，所以选项B正确。选项A在该句中也有提到，但它只是摄像机的工作机制，而不是用于定位的装置。选项C在下一句提到，但与题干提到的定位功能无关。选项D在文中并未提及。
2019年6月大学英语四级阅读理解训练：决定婴儿性别
Henry III didn't know much about biology. He went through six wives back in the 1500s, looking for one whocould bear him a son. Scientists now know that it's the father's sperm, not the mother's egg, which determines whether a baby is a boy or a girl. And last week researchers at the Genetics and IVF Institute, a private fertility(生育能力)center in Virginia, announced a new technique that will allow parents to choose the sex of their baby-to-be, before it has even been conceived. The scientist used a tiny laser detector to measure the DNA in millions of sperm cells as they pass single file through a narrow tube, like cattle being herded through a corral(牲口栏). In a study published last week, "girl sperm," which has more DNA—the genetic material— in each cell, was collected, while "boy sperm" was discarded. And when purified girl sperm was used to impregnate(使受孕)a group of mothers, 15 of 17 resulting babies turned out to be girls.
The researchers say that "sex selection" can also double a mother's chance of having a son and can be usedto avoid genetic diseases that affect only one gender, such as hemophilia(血友病). But some experts, like New York University fertility specialist Dr. Jamie Grifo, worry that sex selection could lead to a kind ofin uteri(子宫)discrimination, especially in cultures where sons are considered superior to daughters. "It's valuing one gender' over another," Grifo says. "I don't think that's something we should be doing." So far, patients at the institute have been asking for both boys and girls, in order to "balance" their families. And some ethics experts say that's fine, as long as parents are just looking for a little gender variety. "If you have three boys, and you want a girl," says University of Texas reproctive-law professor John Robertson, "that's not gender bias at all."
练习题：
Choose correct answers to the question:
1.The DNA in the sperm cells can be measured ______.
A.in the same way how the cattle are herded
B.when they pass through a tube one behind the other
C.after they pass through a laser tube
D.when they are scanned by a laser detector all at a time
2.The gender of the baby is decided by ______.
A.the father's DNA
B.the mother's DNA
C.the father's sperm
D.the mother's egg
3.According to this passage, the practice of "sex selection" ______.
A.can help to prevent all genetic problems
B.is totally unacceptable to ethics experts
C.was already realized five hundred years ago
D.will benefit families with certain inheritable diseases
4.Girl sperm was preferred to boy sperm in the research most probably because____
A.girl sperm contains more genetic material
B.more mother want to have girl babies
C.girl sperm is healthier and more active
D.girl sperm is more easily purified
5.It can be concluded from the passage that author’s toward”sex selection”is____
A.negative
B.positive
C.neutral
D.favorable
参考答案及解析
1.[B] 推理判断题。解答本题的关键在于推断single file的意思。该句把精子通过试管的情形与牛群被赶入牲口圈的情形作对比，结合single一词本身的意思，可以推断single file是“一个接一个”的意思，只有选项B能表达这个意思，由此也可否定选项D。选项A最具干扰性，原句是把精子通过试管的情形比作牛群被赶人牲口圈的情形，而选项A说的是测定精子内DNA的方法与放牧的方法相同，显然选项A只是引用了原文的某些词语，但表达的意思与原文却截然不同。
2.[C] 事实细节题。第1段第3句which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰的是the father's sperm，而不是插入语the mother’s egg,因此选项C正确。
3.[D] 推理判断题。第2段第1句中的genetic暗示有些疾病是遗传的，即如选项D所述。第2段第1句同时表明选项A的说法是不全面的。选项B与第2段最后两句正好相反。第1段前两句说明选项C是错误的。
4.[A] 事实细节题。第1段倒数第2句中的由which引导的定语从句表明选项A的叙述正确。
5.[C] 观点态度题。文章第2段中作者给出了一些反对者和赞成者的观点，但是没有加以评论，可以看出作者的态度是中立的，故选项C正确。

Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it's a girl."
Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experiencewith them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy wasan accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.
Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to ecate fathers in this reconciliation (协调) process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of fathers.
It is argued by some writers that the change to the father's role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the change the wife must take to the mother's role. The mother's role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative(创新的) adaptation. On the other hand, the father's role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.
【篇二】2020年9月大学英语四级阅读理解
Americans are pound of their variety and indiviality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity (身份) thanto step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-dectible (可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more rable than civilian clothes.
Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of indiviality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, theytend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.
Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.
【篇三】2020年9月大学英语四级阅读理解
Taste is such a subjective matter that we don't usually conct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyone's preference, is that it's one person's opinion. But because the two big cola(可乐) companies Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed aggressively, we've wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either C0ca-Cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting.
We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic (传统型)or Pepsi, Diet (低糖的)Coke, or Diet Pepsi-These were people who thought they'd have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand. We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers.
We eventually located 19regular cola drinkers and 27diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentifiedsamples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked themto tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants 'choices with what mere gum-work would have accomplished.
Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7out of19regular cola drinkers correctly identified theirbrand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse -only 7of27identified all four samples correctly.
While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so fatigue, or taste burn out, was not a factor. Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.
⑺ 四级英语阅读理解的技巧和方法
四级英语阅读理解的技巧和方法如下：
一、重点读文章的开头句和结尾句
一般来说，文章的开头句和结尾句就是文章内容的概括，所以应多注重文章的开头部分和结尾部分，对于一些文章的段落总结的题型一般考查的就是这方面的题型。
二、文章中表示绝对意思的词汇一般不是正确选项
例如：must，always，never，the most，all，only，have to，any，very，completely，none，hardly等。只要文章中有这类词汇一般可以进行排除了。而选项中含有不确定，可能的词汇一般就是正确的选项，例如：can，could，may，should，usually，might，be likely to，possible，whether or，not necessarily 等
四级英语：
原快速阅读理解调整为长篇阅读理解，篇章长度和难度不变。篇章后附有10个句子，每句一题。每句所含的信息出自篇章的兄和某一段落，要求考生找出与每句所含信息相匹配的段落。有的段落可能对应两题，有的段落可能不对应任何一题。
大学英语四、六级考试的原始分数在经过加权、等值处理后，参照常模转换为晌枣均值为500、标准羡谨盯差为70的常模正态分数。同时，四、六级考试不设及格线，考试合格证书改为成绩报告单。
⑻ 把四级近五年的仔细阅读刷一遍有用嘛
有用。
英语四级会保证难度有一个变化，但是在可以接受的范围之内变动。而且，对于每一个人的题感来说，很难说题目是否是每年都一样难。但是万变不离其宗，如果把近几年的题都刷一下，而且能掌握，肯定再考试是有很大帮助的。
英语四级一般指大学英语四级考试。 大学英语四级考试，即CET-4，College English Test Band 4的缩写，是由国家教育部高等教育司主持的全国性英语考试。考试的主要对象是根据教育大纲修完大学英语四级的在校专科生、本科生或研究生。

幽默烂慎数与魅力饥首
Leaders Who Use Humour and Charm to Reach the Top
Humour and charm are a surprisingly powerful combination as a means of ascent in life.
I have met a number of entrepreneurs who have built fortunes on the back of their wit and general popularity -and not much else. They disarm us with self-deprecation, we enjoy their company-so why wouldn't we want to do business with them? Of course, it all has to be done well; sycophancy and flat jokes do not weave the same spell.
The British feel that some light relief amid the drudgery is essential for existence to be tolerable. It seems to be a cornerstone of our psychology and culture. In London, to say someone has no sense of humour is to condemn them utterly. Many important meetings I attend start with a little friendly banter to break the ice, a ritual to remind us that we are all human-rather than simply robots of commerce.
I am sure foreigners must think our levity is baffling. My defence is that Brits subscribe to Horace's view: "A jest often decides matters of importance more effectively and happily than seriousness."
Some years ago, a partner of mine practised what I called "management by laughter". He motivated and inspired by making the atmosphere at work fun, rather than the bullying and intimidation common in many workplaces.
But the 21st-century office can be a minefield for the amateur who enjoys a giggle. I was recently warned about a trap being sprung by a professional gang from eastern Europe. They plant an attractive female staff member in an organisation. At roughly the same time, a male co-conspirator also gets a job; the connection between them is unknown to the employer. After a little while, he sends a series of highly suggestive internet jokes to the pretty female. She complains of harassment and threatens to bring an embarrassing employment tribunal involving sexual discrimination-and, once she reveals that she has hired expert legal advisers and PR agents, the victim business settles quickly.
In these litigious, politically correct times, the perils of making cheap gags can be considerable. Recently, I attended a dinner at a trade conference. The speaker was a well-known executive who told a number of jokes in poor taste, some at the expense of influential figures in the room. Just as a vulgar best man's speech at a wedding can strike the wrong note, so I sensed as we chatted after the speech that the jibes would not be swiftly forgotten.
Some one once said: "Brains, integrity and force may be all very well, but what you need today is charm." This is the age of celebrity, even in the boardroom, and none of us is impervious to the presence of those legendary characters when they switch on the full blast of their glittering personality. Perhaps it is their reputation, perhaps their smile, perhaps their brilliance with words-or possibly their rapt attention.
I am often struck how often young children utter the phrase "Look at me!" They want appreciation, and fundamentally not much changes, even when we are 50. Genuine approval from the boss can taste better than anything-even a pay rise.
Are charm and a sense of humour acquired traits? They certainly improve with effort and practice. Ronald Reagan used his years in showbiz to hone his performance skills before succeeding in politics.
I have sat with stand-up comics before they go on stage. The most brilliant appear almost nonchalant, rather than rehearsed or anxious, and their acts are mostly learnt word-perfect yet appear spontaneous.
So it is with outstanding business leaders who persuade their teams to laugh and try harder: they apply themselves assiously to the task. Most world-class chief executives possess charisma-really a captivating blend of charm and wit. And, believe me, they graft at it far more than they admit.
领导靠幽默与魅力发迹
作为人生发迹的手段之一，幽默和魅力是一对效力惊人的组合。
我遇见过许多凭借风趣机智和好人缘白手起家的企业家。他们谦和自敛，让我们生不起气来。我们与他们相处愉快一一所以我们为什么不与他们做生意呢?当然，这里面必须讲求技巧。一味溜颈拍马，开一些干巴巴的玩笑，不会产生同样的魔力。
英国人认为，人生在世，就得苦中作乐。这似乎是我们心理学和文化的一条基本原则。在伦敦，说一个人缺乏幽默感，等于是说他一无是处。我出席的许多重要会议，都以一些善意的玩笑开场，以此打破沉默。这种惯例提醒我们，我们都是凡人，而不完全是商业机器。
外国人肯定认为我们的轻浮举止不可理喻。要让我说，我们英国人是赞同贺拉斯的观点：“遇到大事，比起一本正经的态度，开开玩笑固能够更有效、也更开心地解决问题。”
几年前，我的一位合伙人实行我所说的“欢笑管理”。他鼓舞和激励士气的方法，是营造充满乐趣的工作氛围，不同于许多工作场所常见的威逼和胁迫的氛围。
然而，对于喜欢逗笑取乐的人来说，21世纪的职场可能会是个雷区。我最近听到警告，说一个来自东欧的专业犯罪团伙会设下这样的圈套：在一家机构安插一名漂亮迷人的女员工，再让一名男同伙也混进去。两人前后脚进入这家公司，他们的关系不为人所知。不久后，他就向那位美女发送了一堆黄色网络笑话。于是她投诉遭到骚扰，并威胁要以性别歧视为由，告到让人头大的就业法庭。而一旦她透露出已聘请了专业法律顾问和公关代理，受害企业就会赶紧花钱了事。
在这种动辄法庭上见、政治上正确的时代，讲低级笑话可能会相当危险。我最近出席了一个贸易会议举办的晚宴，席间一位颇有名气的高管发表了演讲。他讲了许多低级趣味的笑话，有些还是取笑在座的显要人物。演讲后我们在闲聊时，我感觉到，他的那些话不会被很快忘记，这与婚礼上伴郎讲话粗俗不合时宜一样。
曾有人说：“拥有才智、诚实和力量固然不错，但当今你需要的是魅力。” 这是一个名人的时代，即使在董事会也是如此。那些鼎鼎大名的人物一旦全力展现他们迷人的个性或者是名声、或者是微笑、或者是口才，又或者是专注的神情，投入能够抵御。
小孩子常常会说“看我的!”，对此我常常感到惊讶。他们想要得到赞赏。这一点在长大后基本上也不会改变，即使到了50岁。老板真心的称赞比什么——甚至加薪，都更让人觉得受用。
魅力和幽默感能够后天培养吗?努力练习肯定会有作用。罗纳德·里根早年在演艺界干过，练得一身表演才能，后来才进入政界，成就了一番事业。
我曾经在一些笑星登台前与他们坐在一起。最出色的笑星出场前几乎都显得若无其事，既没有背台词，也没有焦虑不安。他们表演的内容基本上都是事先背下来的，但却显得像是即兴发挥。
杰出的企业领导能够让他的团队既开心又卖力工作：他们自己会勤于工作。世界级的首席执行官大多魅力非凡——这实际上是吸引力和风趣机智的迷人组合。另外，请相信我，他们花费在这上面的心力，远远超过他们所承认的。

⑽ 求近年的英语四级阅读理解题的中文翻译
看那翻译没什么用的 ..
我在考四级之前就只练了一套四级题.
真的不是说平时做题多就好。要找对考试方法.
首先说做题的先后。当然听力跟快阅没有办法,它是在之前的几十分钟就要做完交的.
后面的话就要先做分值大的,即阅读跟作文;像选词填空,完型和翻译句子分值小,就后做,如果底子不好的话,这些能有时间做最好,没时间就放弃.
做题:
听力的话,首先在听之前把每个题包括题目和选项里面重要的单词划出来,然后一听那道题的时候你就有侧重了.
你听到什么很肯定的回答,就偏选跟它相反的。那些出题的人都喜欢麻痹人,太简单的了不会放到四级里面来考你. 有时候一整段实在点都没听懂,就根据几道题的选项来选,因为几个小题之间都是有连贯性的.
因为听力都是只念一遍。所以在发了卷子后马上就要看题。把那些划出来. 人家读题干的时候看一下那些单词马上就一目了然了。大概就知道它要说什么..
我举个例子:
how is teacher Li's class?
A) Extremely tedious.
B) Hard to understand.
C) Lacking a good plot.
D) Not worth seeing twice.
这句就把 class , tedious , understand,good ,not worth划上。听的时候就有针对性了. 等等之类..
还有就前8道一定要听好。首先它在听力中的分值最高。其次它是四级的开头,做不好会影响后面做题的质量.
快速阅读.快阅整篇文章长的要死,而且生词量很好大。几乎看不懂。等慢慢看懂了都交卷子了,所以就要反着做.. 根据题目再从文章中找答案,看一道做一道.
还有就是快阅的题一定是严格根据先后次序的,比如,第一题一定在开头那一二段,你找到了这道题的答案,后面那道题就在它后面,决不要往前找.
最后那几个填空一般在最后那段,而且找得到原句,即使不是原句,要填的也是原句里面的.
注意:快速阅读根本就不需要懂得文章的意思,直接从题入手找答案.
还有快阅和阅读都是。像那些复杂的名词,比如地点,名字都直接pass,没见过的单词也是,根据上下文和生活常识理解全文意思的大概就行了.
阅读我也不知道怎么说。有一点很重要,四个选项中有意思相近的选项,就坚决不选..
还有就是养成一种习惯。读文章的时候把重要的句,尤其是概括和有作者主观感情的句子化横线.. 这样在做题的时候返回去找句子也方便多了.
作文它一般给你一个写作范围,或者是话题。只要你是围绕它写,随便写就对了.
不一定要有好丰富的词组,很重要的是:
书写工整。错了的就划个斜线;
尽量保证单词的正确性。不会的单词用其它的几个单词代替;
中间内容真的不重要。把开头和结尾写好. 用那么2-3个很有技巧性的短语就显得你的作文有档次了. 这是得分点也是亮点.
我又举个例子:
1.长假给大学生带来的好处；
2.长假可能给大学生带来的问题；
3.我应当怎样利用好长假
这篇作文它已经提示你该写些什么了.. 对于1点,就先表述长假给学生带来了好处。总括.然后分写有哪些好处..这里就穿插一个短语。on the one hand .好处1.for the second 好处2. 一般阅卷老师会找on the other hand .但是你用其他的代替了,这就是一种技巧...对于2 也是.重起一段。前面不是说好处吗,现在来个急转弯..But every coin has two sides. 然后继续说它产生的问题了.. 记住是在段首用华美的句子,也就是不常见的...一般都是说到三,那现在再换成 at last ,finally .in the end .就更好了,又出乎阅卷老师的意外.
有一点很值得一说的是:因为一般英语作文都是流水式的文章,千篇一律,你还没有写,人家老师就知道你要咋个写了。背都背的出来.如果你跟其他人表达不一样,老师自然会另眼相看了啊.
英语作文简单的很,就把你心里面想的最简单的小学作文或者是口水话写进去,在我跟你说的那些地方有亮点就很ok了.
记住要总结做题的方法. 考场就是应用了,而不是现场给你时间总结这道题该如何做,那一道又咋弄..
要有侧重点.. 像完形填空耗时间又多分值又不高,实在做不完就眯着眼睛乱选...也许比你读了再选对的还多些..
最后一个月着重：
练习听力。注意方法;
阅读。练习速度;
作文。写作.
我四级成绩505(其中听力:168 阅读189 翻译和作文112,个人觉得综合分运气占得比较大)
