篇二：阅读理解
2011年6月四级
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
Several recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性) of conflict.
Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and compel students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.
An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.
In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."
Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences. According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.
An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.
Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.
At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing.
"One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration."
"I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring cultural confrontations."
The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race. Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
57. What can we learn from some recent studies?
Conflicts between students of different races are unavoidable.
Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.
Interracial lodging does more harm than good.
Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.
58. What does Sam Boakye's remark mean?
White students tend to look down upon their black peers.
Black students can compete with their white peers academically.
Black students feel somewhat embarrassed among white peers during the freshman year. Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.
59. What does the Indiana University study show?
Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.
Few white students like sharing a room with a black peer.
Roommates of different races just don't get along.
Assigning students' lodging randomly is not a good policy.
60. What does Alec Webley consider to be the "definition of integration"?
Students of different races are required to share a room.
Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.
Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.
The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.
61. What does Grace Kao say about interracial lodging?
It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.
Schools should be cautious when making decisions about student lodging.
Students' racial background should be considered before lodging is assigned.
Experienced resident advisors should be assigned to handle the problems.
Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic
losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.
The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster, population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良) and heat-related health problems.
But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.
Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor
countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.
Roger Pielke Jr., a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies
disaster trends, said the Forum's report was "a methodological embarrassment" because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic
development in vulnerable (易受伤害的) regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention.” But the report, he said, "will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的)." However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.
In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their
vulnerability to climate hazards while still curbing the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor
countries, according to the report.
62. What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?
Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.
Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.
Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.
Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.
63. What do we learn about the Forum's report from the passage?
It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.
It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.
It was warmly received by environmentalists.
It caused a big stir in developing countries.
64. What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum's report?
Its statistics look embarrassing. C) It deserves our closest attention.
It is invalid in terms of methodology. D) Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.
65. What is Soren Andreasen's view of the report?
Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.
It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.
It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.
Its rough estimates are meant to draw the attention of world leaders.
66. What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference? How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming.
How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.
How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.
How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.
Passage One
57. What can we learn from some recent studies?
答案：D. Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.
关键词：recent studies, but also
定位：题干中some recent studies提示答案定位在第一段第一句话。
解析：问题提问从最近的研究中我们可以了解到什么？第一段第一句中Several recent studies found that…与题干对应，由此可知that后的就是recent studies的内容，即being randomly assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood of conflict。其中“being randomly assigned to a roommate of another race”对应了选项D中的“interracial lodging”，“can… but also…”说明了interracial lodging是有利有弊的。因此D选项符合文意。而C选项“弊大于利”不符合文意, A“不同种族学生之间的争执是不可避免的”选项与B“不同种族的学生相互存在偏见”原文中没有明确提及
58. What does Sam Boakye's remark mean?
答案：D. Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.
关键词：surrounded, something to prove
定位：题干中出现的人名Sam Boakye提示答案定位在第四段第一句话。
解析：问题提问Sam Boakye的话是什么意思？通过定位可以找到Sam Boakye的那段话，即if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove. 这句话前面的插入语-the only black student on his freshman year floor- 介绍了Sam Boakye作为黑人学生的背景，帮助我们
理解之前那句话：如果你的周围都是白人，那么一定会去证明些什么，言下之意就是选项D“白人同伴的存在会激励黑人学生更加努力地去取得成功”。而选项A, B, C在文中没有明确提及。本题选项C有个干扰信息“the freshman year”，在原文中出现。某些考生看到这个词，不假思索就选择了这个选项，但没有搞懂原文的意思，导致错误选择。请考生留意。
59. What does the Indian University study show?
答案：A. Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.
关键词：Indian University, more likely,
定位：题干中出现的机构名称Indian University提示答案定位在第七段第一句话。
解析：问题提问Indian University的研究显示了什么？通过定位可以发现研究结果显示Interracial roommate were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together，与选项A中的more likely to fall out 对应，因此选择D。此处，fall out 应该理解为“散伙，分开”有些考生可能因为不理解意思而产生歧义，请考生留意。
60. What does Alec Webley consider to be the “definition of integration”?
答案：D. The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.
关键词：Alec Webley, definition of integration
定位：题干出现的人名Alec Webley提示答案定位在第十段第一句。
解析：通过定位找到人名，人名后出现“This is the definition of integration”，由“this”可知人名前就是我们要找的答案，即the process throws you together randomly，“throw you together randomly”与“randomly assign”对应。意思与选项D符合。因此，此处选择D。
61. What does Grace Kao say about interracial lodging?
答案：A. It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.
关键词：Grace Kao, generalizations
定位：题干中出现的人名Grace Kao以及generalizations提示答案定位在文章最后一段。根据最后一段意思：要得出Interracial lodging的一般规律，需要对学生的背景特征有更多的研究，与选项D的意思相同。而选项ABC在文中没有明确提及。
Passage Two
本篇文章主要是围绕一份来自Global Humanitarian Forum的报告展开的，在解题之前，通过对5个题干的浏览，以及在原文中的定位，可以发现，这篇文章是严格按照顺序原则来出题的。每一个题干中都有大写的字母，这些首字母大写的单词既是关键词，也是定位词，可以有效地帮助我们到原文中准确定位，节省答题时间。
62. What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?
答案：B. Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.
关键词：Global Humanitarian Forum
定位：第一段、第二段
解析：一般而言，四级的阅读题目大致遵循顺序原则，此篇文章正好是遵循此规律的。在文章的
第一段，第一行，我们看到“… 300,000 deaths and about $ 125 billion …”,根据这里，我们可以把答案锁定在选项A（economic）和选项B (Rates of death)，然后我们接着往下看，可以发现，
第二段就没有再提到金钱方面了，而都是在讲死亡和疾病的话题，如第二段的第三行“… death rates from illnesses … ”。所以，最后正确的选项是B。
63. What do we learn about the Forum's report from the passage?
答案：A. It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.
关键词：learn 、Forum's report
定位：第三段
解析：根据顺序原则，我们在接下来的第三段里就找到了63题的答案。第三段的第一行就讲到“the
report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk”，这和A选项是完全相一致的，challenged是criticism的同义替换。B选项中的“interest”表示“兴趣”，主要用于好的事物，这里讲的都是对the Forum's repor的批评，显然就不合适了。C选项表达的意思跟原文正好相反，这个是肯定要排除的。然后，有的同学可能会选到D选项，可能是受到文中第四段“… primarily in poor countries ,were being seriously effected …”这句话的影响。但是D选项中“a big stir”“一阵巨大的骚乱”文中是完全没有提到的。
64. What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum's report?
答案：B. It is invalid in terms of methodology.
关键词：Dr. Pielke、say
定位：第五段
解析：在第五段，我们可以很快找到Pielke，然后找到他说的话，第二行“the Forum's report was ?a methodological embarrassment'”,然后在第六行“but the report, he said?will harm the … it is so deeply flawed'”。根据这两句话，选项中invalid 是flawed的同义替换， 我们可以很容易地选到B。
65. What is Soren Andreasen's view of the report?
答案：D. Its rough estimates are meant to draw the attention of world leaders.
关键词：Soren Andreasen
定位：第六段
解析：在第六段的第二行和第三行，可以看到“the number were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders … ”,根据这两句话，我们就能较轻松地将正确答案锁定在D选项。
66. What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?
答案：D. How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.
关键词：Kofi Annan、focus of the Copenhagen conference
定位：第七段（即文中的最后一段）
解析：最后一段是Kofi Annan说的一段话。我们在最后一段的第二行，focus on后面“… from rich to poor regions to help reduce … ”后面的内容就无需再花时间去看了，因为他focus（关注）的地方，在此就已经陈述清楚了，正确答案就是D。
2011年12月四级
57, C encourage boys to express their emotions freely
58, A perform relatively better
59, C It fails to give boys the attention they need
60, A teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys
61, C They have sharper vision
【解析】这篇文章针对传统的男女生一起上学，一起接受教育提出了质疑。作者从文章一开头就表明了自己的看法：对于男生而言，单性教育，即男生们一起上学会对男生的身心发展更为有利。文中出现一个短语，received wisdom，即是“人们普遍的看法，公认的看法”。也是作者所批判的一种观点。传统观点认为，男生和女生混合教育会对男生发展更有利。
但是作者认为单性教育对男生有以下几个好处：可以让男生们更自由地表达自己的情感，可以学习自己感兴趣的艺术，舞蹈，音乐等学科。不用去遵守人们在传统印象中对男生的期盼。而且单性教育可以针对男生的身心发展特点而制定学习计划。
