2005年英语专四真题解析

　　PART V READING COMPREHENSION

　　TEXT A

　　81.正确答案为C)。首先，由文中第一段作者回忆的情况My marks in school were miserable and the thing was, I didn’t know enough to really care可排除B)。其次，文章并没有交代 his brother 的成绩，所以A)不对。从后面的描述：We watched TV every night及电视片后I love lucy以及Mister Ed可知，他放学后，花了很多时间看电视。

　　82.正确答案为A)。从第一段第二句If lived with Mone in a dingy multi-family house和作者对所生活环境的嘈杂，杂乱的描写，可知他不可能来自于Middle-class family.

　　83.正确答案为D)。从母亲关掉电视机，带我们去图书馆可知母亲是很坚定的要改变我(I will drive you to the library, determined)

　　84.正确答案为B)。第四段“I wandered reluctantly among...”可知作者当时的态度。第四段的首句中的peevish一词可知答案.

　　85.正确答案为C)。答案在第六段. 首句…but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes知道A和B揭示了作者后来喜欢读书的另一个原因. 末句的意思是”我可以再翻看前面的内容”而不是C选项所说的:我可以回图书馆再去看那本书. 所以C选项不是作者喜欢上读书的原因.

　　TEXT B

　　86.正确答案为A)。从第二段第一句话可知，该段内容为the reasons for Disney's success，

　　所以该题的答案就在这一段中。文中说： He was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising — something his company still does brilliantly today。因此，可知他有management和merchandising的能力;single-handedly pioneered也说明他有creativity。但是，Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. 所以， 他没有高超的绘画技巧。因此，正确答案为A)。

　　87.正确答案为B)。从第四段最后一句话He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers可知，Disney被认为是一个patriot的原因有二：his cartoons celebrate America和made training films for American soldiers。故B)是正确答案，即He supported America’s war efforts in his own way。

　　88.正确答案为D)。该句中的apart from his affiliations with the FBI 承上启下，而后半部分Disney was more or less the genuine article 则为该段的主题句。接下来的句子应该支持这一思想。作者说一本新出版的书confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans就表明D)为正确答案。

　　89. 正确答案为B)。阅读考试中有一类题要求考生推测作者对某人或者某物的态度。这类题一般要通过作者的语言或者行文去判断。文章客观地描述了Walt Disney的为人. 既介绍了他的才华,爱国主义精神和他对普通老百姓的态度,也解释了他生平不光彩的一笔(第五段),并没有主观地表达作者的倾向性.

　　TEXT C

　　90.正确答案为B)。该段中作者罗列出了人们听音乐的多种原因，并说Answers to this question would be many and diverse。这句话中的many和选项B)中的varied是同义词。所以，正确答案为B)，即reasons for listening to music are varied。

　　91.正确答案为A)。第二段中有This book explores ways of achieving these objectives一句。我们看看前面几句，就知道these objectives所指为the enjoyment of music。这是音乐听众(listeners)的做法，而不是composers，musicians或者directors的所为。所以A)为正确答案。

　　92.正确答案为D)。该题涉及的是人们听音乐的目的，所以答案肯定还在第二段。该段第一句the enjoyment of music does not remain at a standstill表明，人们对音乐的感悟不断增长。因此，正确答案为D)，即understand music better。

　　93.正确答案为C)。第二段指出：Although everyone hears music differently, there is a common ground from which all musical experiences grow. That source is sound itself。所以，正确答案为C)。

　　94.正确答案为C)。最后一段对的后半部分提到了将movement in music和the physical movement作比较. “We are stirred by impressions of movement because our very lives are constantly in movement: Breathing, the action of the pulse, growth, decay…, as well as the constant flow of physical action…更印证了答案C.

　　TEXT D

　　95.正确答案为B)。Gut feelings就是我们所说的“跟着感觉走”中的“感觉”。从第三段“Gut feelings can occur without person being consciously aware of them可得出正确答案为B)。

　　96.正确答案为D)。由第五段最后一句But if he evaluates his (gut) feelings, he can change them一句可以看出，只要人了解了自己的gut feelings，人就可以改变之。故，正确答案为D)，即one may control them。

　　97.正确答案为A)。我们知道，名词spice的意思是“调味品”。该词在此用作动词，意思就是add spice to，即“增添味道”。那么，Bad as well as good moods spice life and build character一句的含义就是：心情时好时坏，即给生活增添了意义，有可以锻炼人的品性。因此，A)add interest to为正确答案。

　　98.正确答案为C)。Mood Management一部分第一段中明确指出：We often have little control over when we are swept by emotion. But we can have some say in how long that emotion will last。看来，我们虽然无法control自己的情绪，但是我们可以通过努力来决定how long that emotion will last。故，正确答案为we can determine the duration of mood，即C)。

　　99.正确答案为B)。Mood Management部分第四段指出：A more effective technique is “reforming”, which means consciously reinterpreting a situation in a more positive light。其中reinterpreting a situation in a more positive light就是要有一个positive attitude。故，正确答案为B)。

　　100.正确答案为B)。这篇文章的结构比较完整。因此，这类考查对文章整体的把握能力的试题的答案一般都可以在文章的开头部分(introduction)找到。本题的答案就在Following are two of the major qualities that make up emotional intelligence, and how they can be developed一句。四个选项中，B最为全面，而其它选项的覆盖面太小，仅仅是文章某段或者某个部分的主要内容。
