大学英语四级[常识]

大学四级[常识] Growing up as an Asian in Britain is much more than a question of facing discrimination and trying to find a decent job -- especially for a girl. She has to keep a delicate 47 between two cultures: her own and the British. Seetha Crishna has written a booklet called Girls of Asian Origin in Britain. In it the girls she is most concerned with are those who are 48 different because they have gone through the British educational system and have therefore emerged with an 49 which is distinct from that of their parents. They speak English with regional English accents, they look 50 in Western clothes, and they so not necessarily choose to work in a factory. But they are unmistakably Asian and they are still held by their Asian 51 roots. At home, Asian girl may find herself conforming to the traditions and values of her parents, while at school she tends to 52 the attitudes and appetites of her British contemporaries. As a result, Seetha Crishna found girls existing at two levels -- and inclined to 53 both. "But unless they can successfully accept both, they will 54 constantly from one level to the other, feeling trapped between the two at 55 cost to their own confidence and happiness." For teenage girls, the main 56 is to match the social life which their parents expect them to live with that enjoyed by their schoolmates.

The author of the report(对医院的问非常了解) Because he has been working there for many years. 2(The father pleaded with his son (少带点麻烦) to his mother. 3(The murder(混在人群中) with an attempt to shot at the Prince Minister whenever he seized a chance. 4.(为了最大限度减少盗窃案发生的可能性) we install a good alarm system. 5.Scientists will have to(提出增加世界粮食供应量的新办法) 作文:Write a poster recruiting volunteer. 1、校学生会将组织一次暑假志愿者活动，现招募志愿者。 2、本次志愿者活动的目的，活动安排等。 3、报名条件及联系方式。 47.K 根据结构，空格处应该填入名词，并可以用delicate来修饰。Between示该词为两者间的一种状态，两者是指Asian cultures和British culture，两种文化间的关系应该是“平衡的”，因此只能选balance, keep balance表示“保持平衡”。 48.F 根据句子结构，空格处应填入副词用来修饰different，选项里只能从definitely和scarcely中做出选择，前者表示肯定意义，后者表示否定意义。该句中because引导原因状语从句，“gone through the British educational system”和“distinct from that of their parents”说明这些 女孩子应该是不同于其他女孩子的，因此应选definitely。而scarcely表示“几乎不，简直没有”，不符合题意，故排除。 49. I 空格前的不定冠词an表明所填写的词语应为名词，其后的which引导的定语从句用来修饰该词，只有identity才能是“is distinct from that of their parents”,而且谓语emerged with可以与identity形成合理的动宾搭配，前半句中的different也与identity形成对应关系。 50. O look 为感官动词，气候通常接形容词，故空格处应填入形容词。词句中三个句子为并列句，并由and链接，故意义上应保持一致。前一句说道“她们说带有地方口音的英语”，后半句说“她们没有必要在工厂里工作”，说明他们表现出英国文化的一面，因此该句中“in western clothes”与“look”之间的关系应该是协调的，舒适的，只有comfortable符合题意。 51. A 根据句子结构，空格处应该填入形容词用来修饰roots，句首的but充分表明该句所表达的意思与上举构成转折关系。该句中and连接两个并列的句子，“they are unmistakably Asian”说明她们很显然是亚洲人，所以只能填入culture，Asian cultural roots表示“亚洲文化根源”，该并列据的意义正好与上一句相反。 52. N 根据tend to do sth.可知空格处应填入动词，while连接两个句子，表现前后两句话是转折关系，前半句说“在家里，亚洲女孩子可能会发现自己遵循着父母的传统和价值观”，后半句的“at school”的情况应该与前面正好相反，因此所填入的动词与“the attitudes and appetites of her British contemporaries”的关系应该是积极的，发展的，只有develop符合题意。 53. C 根据inclined to do sth.句型中可知空格处应填入动词，后句中but表示句意的转折，所填词语与successfully accept意义相反，因此选question。而issue表示“争论，议题，”不符合题意，故排除。 54. G 根据句子结构，空格处缺少谓语，应填入动词，其后的结构from one„ to the other表示该动词与活动的范围有关，选项中只有动词swing符合题意，表示“摆动，从„转向„”。 55. L at„cost 表示“以„为代价”，cost前多用表示程度的形容词来修饰，选项中只有considerable符合题意。 The Importance of keeping A Good Mood. 1. 人们每天都生活在压力之下 2. 所以说保持一个好的心情是十分重要的 3. 我的观点和原因 Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated ____47 ___?

The Importance of Keeping A Good Mood In today's increasingly competitive world it is essential to maintain a positive attitude towards life. To put it in a metaphor, keeping a good mood is a foundation upon which our life is built. Keeping a good mood is important because it can help us solve various problems in life. The following two situations can enable us to clearly see how a positive attitude helps us cope with unpleasant things. Take English learning for example. In our effort to grasp English, mistakes are unavoidable. From one perspective mistakes are annoying, but a positive attitude can make us realize that only through making mistakes can a learner be expected to make progress. Sometimes one may come down with a serious cold, feeling depressed. But a change in attitude will enable us to look at the matter from a positive perspective. The illness may teach us the importance of health. As we can see, keeping a good mood can help us to deal with mistakes in the right way and find comfort in time of sorrow. Its importance cannot be denied. 47. E 结合句意“当别人对你________时，你是否曾经不敢反驳?”在备选项的副词中，E(不公平地)最符合文章。 48. C 结合句意“我们整个________的目的就是让人们怀疑自己„”，再根据备选项中的名词释义，C最符合文章。且文章的下两句都是对这一system的解释。 49. L 下文提到的These superiors即指空格所缺，故L正确。 50. H 该空应填入动词原形。由上文提到的Many people are afraid to assert themselves和下文提到的"assertiveness training" courses可推知，H最符合文意。 51. D 结合句意“他们(科学家)________‘自信训练’课程”来看选项，D最符合文意。 52. B 上文和空格所在句都提到通过学习课程能给人们带来很多益处，由此推测该空应填入一个含积极之意的形容词，故B(活跃的)符合文章。 53. M 结合句意“在某种程度上，学会大声说出来的目的就是________恐惧心理”可知，M(战胜)最符合句意。 54. G 结合句意“但AT采用一个更为强大的________，即互相分享的需要”来看选项，G(动机)最符合文意。 55. A 结合常理和上文提到的If someone you face is more"important"than you, you may feel less of a person可推知，此时人很容易怀疑自我，故A符合文意。 56. J 该空应填入名词，结构句意“你依照别人的________行事”和下文对此的否定可推知，J最符合文意。 87. Thanks to a kind-hearted taxi driver thanks to 后跟名词或名词性成分，意为“多亏了„，由于„”，在本句的翻译中，直接跟“出租车司机”就行了，不必再翻译“遇到”。 88.
