英语四级阅读强化练习题答案
1.[C] 事实细节题。只要知道第1段第2句中的关键词accelerate意为speed up“加速,加快”,就可以排除其他选项。
2.[B] 事实细节题。本题考査对比处。作者在第1段第5句中通过previously将过去与现在作对比,指出现在传递消息的途径与过去不一样了,由此可判断B为正确选项。本题最具干扰性的是选项C,第1段倒数第3句提到以 后邮递员将会消失,但这并不意味着人们不再写信和寄信,以后可能会有新的送信方式,因此选项C是不对的。
3.[C] 词义推断题。they所在的句子是第1段倒数第2句,本句中两个they的指代是一样的,因此,只要找到第一个they的指代就能找到答案了。根据本段倒数第3句中“Not only postmen but also clerks andsecretaries will vanish”及倒数第2句中的“All the routine tasks they perform...”可推断,they是指上一句中的postmen,clerks 和secretaries 。
4.[B] 推理判断题。本题考査列举处。在第2段,作者列举了律师、医生、教师将会受到的新技术的影响,第3句指出医生的电子竞争者会做出更快更准的诊断,从而确定选项B说法正确,而选项A和C与原文不符,选项D言过其实,且缺乏合理的原文依据。
5.[A] 观点态度题。作者举出了大量实例暗示和告诫人们:正因为人类技术的发展日新月异,许多职业的存在都将受到威胁,人们应该采取积极态度以应对这种变化。选项B显然与第1段最后一句相悖;选项C无合理的推 断依据;文中虽提到新技术会在多方面影响人类,但并不能由此推断机器会控制人类,所以选项D不对。
