　　1.[D] 词义理解题。本句说到公司要在地球村和全球市场上竞争，多样性是imperative，由前文“没有取消引起多样性的手段”和下文提到的公司对各种各样有技能的美国人的需求可知，多样性对于企业来说应该“必需的”故D正确。

　　2.[B] 事实细节题。第2段末句指出这种辩论主要存在于政治圈和媒体中，结合上句内容，可知其中的this debate指的就是关于多样性的辩论，故B正确。

　　3.[C] 事实细节题。由第1段第4句可知，公司高层领导人促进多样化的原因是想要在全球市场上更具竞争力，C与此相符。

　　4.[A] 推理判断题。第2段中提到有些人认为在没有多样性的过去照样能做到不拘—格选人才，但作者马上which was never true否定此观点，故A正确。第2段只提到多样性的辩论存在于政治圈和媒体，但并不代 表在这两个圈子里不能接受或从未出现多样性，故排除B、C;D说法过于绝对,且在文中找不到依据，也可排除。

　　5.[D] 推理判断埋。由第1段倒数第2句可知企业expand the pool就意味着向more minorities，more women 和 more immigrants提供技能培训，而expand the pool对应的就是题干中的说的多样性的形成，D中的race 和sex分别对文中minorities和women，故正确。A泛泛而谈，没有说到点子上，不如D具体、准确;B与多样性没有关系，C是利用文中的有关职业的词拼凑而成的干扰项。

　　英语四级阅读理解专练题(二)

　　In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (学会) of each newskill- the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading andwriting. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can setup dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child might be encouraged to learn toread before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a childis left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasmfor life and his desire to find out new things for himself.

　　Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may beespecially strict in money matters. Others are sever over times of coming home at night orpunctuality for meals. In general,the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents andthe values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.

　　As regard the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is veryimportant in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is nofoundation for morality(道德). Also, parents should realize that “ example is better thanprecept ”. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach(说教), their childrenmay grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think forthemselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.

　　A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their moralscan be a dangerous disappointment.

　　英语四级阅读理解专练题答案

　　1.[B] 事实细节题。第1段第1句中的every parent，often等词表明这种做法在父母中是非常普遍的，显然B与之相符。A说法无原文依据，且由原文可看出题干所述现象是很难避免的;C中dangerous—词在原文中本是修饰其他情绪，故C不符;D是过多地让孩子自己一个独处的后果,不是题干所述行为的后果。

　　2.[C] 推理判断题。第1段第2句说明父母逼得太过分，应避免。最后一句则说明对小孩太放任自流同样不利。由这两点，我们可以做出如下判断：父母对孩子的“严”和“松”之间有一个恰当的“度”。C与之相符。

　　3.[C] 事实细节题。文章第2段表明：不同的家长对孩子的管制程度不同;家长对小孩的管制不仅是为了孩子个人的幸福，也反映了父母的需要以及社区的价值观，故C与原文相符。

　　4.[D] 词义理解题。由precept所在句可猜测precept应与example相对，且与下文的preach意思相近，故D正确。

　　5.[A] 推理判断题。第3段提到父母应该避免讲一套做一套，结合最后一段可得出结论：关于思想道德教育问题，父母应以身作则，带头遵循，故A正确。
