大学四级考试阅读训练题答案
26.答案C。本题可用排除法。根据第一段可知创造力的含 义是“使事物产生”，“致使事物存在”。而它三个方面的表现可参考“短文大意”，据此，C为正确答案。
27.答案B。此题的解答需要在理解文章大意及细节基础上进行。选项B意为“创造力在一定程度上取决于非凡的洞察力。”根据最后一段，可知这是一种“天赋”，故正确。这样就可确定B为正确答案。
28.答案C。此题可在正确理解句子含义的基础上采取“排除法”来解答。根据上下文可以得知：此句的真正含义是“任何新事物的产生都是建立在原有事物基础之上的”。据此，A项认为“我们很少能创造新事物”，显然只是句子的字面意思，不正确。B项“创造新事物 是一个神话”，也为字面理解。再看C项“只有在原有事物基础之上才能创造新事物”，这不正是我们分析得出的结论吗?而D项“我们几乎不可能看到新事物”，更是差之甚远。这样就 可确定C项为正确答案无疑。
29.答案C。先找有关细节。此问题涉及到对文章第三段最 后一句的理解。作者认为“获得新思想并不意味着就能够将其付诸实践，暗含“知易行难”的意义。这样，我们就可对 选项进行分析选弃了。这样就可确定C 为正确答案无疑。

大学四级考试阅读训练题(二)
When I was studying at Yale, some phenomena puzzled me greatly. I found that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.
I was impressed by the role of the professor in the seminar(讨论会). The professor didn’t act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a reseac her looking for answers to questions together with the students. One lingui stic(语言的) feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal(情态的) verbs—far more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he usually said, “This is my personal opinion and it could be wrong.” or “You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting.”
In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct di rections. Therefore, students always expect the professor to give an answer to th e question. I still remember how frustrated they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher than that of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they w ere sure about it.
Education in China is valued for united thinking. I remember American teachers who taught in our university complaining about the fact that Chinese students u niformly expressed the same idea in their English composition. The examinations in America usually do not test a student’s ability to memorize the material but his ability to analyze and solve problems. Education in America is valued not on ly as a means to obtain employment but as a process of enhancing critical thinking.
31.In the USA, when the students are in class, ____.
A.a Chinese student tends to be very active B.an American student likes to make trouble
C.a Chinese student likes to puzzle the teacher D.an American student tends to be vigorous
32.A teacher in the USA prefers to ____ when he answers questions.
A.be very sincere B.be very direct
C.be very self confident D.be very indifferent
33.What is the opinion of the author concerning the difference of teachin g methods between China and the USA?
A.He thinks that Chinese teaching metods can make students learn more.
B.He holds that the major purpose of Chinese teaching methods is to impro ve students’ remembrance.
C.He thinks that American teaching is ability oriented.
D.He holds that American teachers hate to give a test.
34.The author thinks that the relationship between the student and the te acher is ____.
A.more intimate in China B.closer in China C.looser in USA D.more harmonious in USA
35.The education in USA may produce some ____ graduates.
A.talkative B.conventional C.creative D.imaginative
大学四级考试阅读训练题答案
31.答案D。在文章中找到有关的细节为解此题的关键。从文章第一段的最后两句可得知“中国留学生在课堂上表现很有礼貌和节制，而美国学生则非常主动和活跃。”据此看D项 “美国学生经 常表现得非常活跃”，正是我们与作者得出的结论，所以是选项无疑。解答此题也给了我们一个启示：某些干扰项迷惑性很大，不能一眼识别，所以在选择时可能需要进行反复比较思考 ，方能断定其正确与否。
32.答案A。文章第二段是解答问题的关键。此段主要谈论 “美国教授在上课时扮演的是与学生平等的角色”，并介绍了“这种情况的种种表现”。现在，我们来看选项。A项“ 非常诚恳”，符合事实，先标出，看有没有更合适的。B项“非常直接”，显然不对，即使 美国老师语气委婉，也只是“不直接”。C项意为“非常自信”，文章没有提到这一点，也不能选。再看D项“非常冷淡”，更是荒谬。这样也就只能选A。
33.答案C。解答此类题目，首先也必须象解答“有关文章主要内容题目”一样，首先应掌握全文的主旨和大意，据此才能在理解作者观点时，不致管中窥豹，以致偏颇。迅速通读全文，可知作者意在抨击中国教育方式的弊端。这样，作者的观点也就昭然若揭了。现在看选项。C项“美国教育重在培养学生能力”。 作者在对中国教育抨击的同时，也对美国教育的某些做法表示赞成，而这一点正是作者对美国教育考查后得出的结论之一，所以正确。
34.答案D。推理(断)题属于要求较高的题型。它要求学生不仅能正确理解文章(或某些细节)，也要能据此进一步推测其中暗含的意思。D项说“美国师生之间关系和谐”，正合作者的看法，所以只能选D。
35.答案C。此题的问题太宽泛，只能根据选项，结合文章，进行取舍。C项是“具有创造力的”，美国平 等式的、自由、宽松的教育方式，鼓励学生培养独立分析、解决问题的能力，这样培养出来的学生势必多具有“创造力”，符合事实。所以选项为C。
