江濤英語獨家提供大學英語新四級最后模擬題

Part II

1.F.當出現(xiàn)all這種過于絕對的詞語時，考生應該引起注意。一般這樣的命題多數(shù)是不正確的。首段中有句話：“All spiders produce silk, but only some construct webs to catch their food”命題中all的說法過于絕對。

2.T.該命題是對原文第二段首句話的同義改寫。

3.F.原文中第二段首句中寫到，“of the 600+ spiders in Britain only 12 are strong enough to pierce the human skin”，因此并不是命題中說的當它們刺進人的皮膚會經(jīng)常殺死人。

4.F．原文中說，“Arachne became depressed after this and in the end she hung herself.”注意代詞this指代上面的句子，結(jié)合上一句一起理解，命題顯然是錯誤的。

5. NG.文章中只出現(xiàn)過一次Tim Tegenaria，所以該題很好定位，即最后一段的第二句�？墒俏恼轮胁�沒有出現(xiàn)tarantula spiders。

6.T.該命題定位在最后一段倒數(shù)第三句話處。

7.NG.首先定位Money spiders出現(xiàn)的位置是文章的最后的兩句，可是并沒有提到它是最小的。

8.32000

該題由關(guān)鍵詞species of spider定位在第二段倒數(shù)第二句。

9.looking at their pales

該題定位在倒數(shù)第二段的首句。

10.the Goliath spider

掃讀全文的時候注意有最高級的地方。由此我們可以將該題定位在文章最后一段的首句。

11. M: I forgot to bring my pencil and paper to take notes with in class.

W: That’s all right. I have enough for both of us.

Q: What will the woman most probably do next?

12. W: When is Jason coming?

M: Well, he said he’d be here at seven-thirty, but if you know him, it will be at least eight o’clock.

Q: What do we know about Jason?

13. M: Are you ready to check out?

W: Yes. I’ll pay the bill and you’ll call the desk and have our baggage taken out to the taxi.

Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?

14. M: Remember, you promised to help me with my homework for English class.

W: But I want to watch this program first. It is almost over. Wait a moment, please.

Q: What does the woman mean?

15. M: I was terribly embarrassed when some of the audience got up and left in the middle of the performance.

W: Well, some people just can’t seem to appreciate real-life drama.

Q: What are they talking about?

16. W: Professor Hook was so strange today.

M: I noticed that too. He was talking so quietly and then not giving us any homework at all. Can you believe that?

Q: What can be inferred about Professor Hook?

17. M: This room is so crowded. I can hardly breathe and I can’t see anything.

W: I don’t understand why they didn’t have this show in a bigger place. Do you?

Q: What is the woman complaining about?

18. M: The newspaper says that it’ll be raining today. What do you think?

Passage one

W: Sit down please, Mr. Johnson.

M: Introduce you, ma’am

W: I have read your letter here. You seem to have done very well in school. Can you tell me something about your schoolwork?

M: As you can see, my strongest subjects were art subjects. My best subject was history, and my second best was geography. However, my favorite subject was math, and the results I got in the math paper were quite reasonable..

W: That’ s true. Now, can you tell me why you think these subjects will help you in this job?

M: Well, ms’ am, I understand that you manufacture computers, prepare software, and advise diets on how to use them. Is that right?

W: What’s right.

M: And I’ve been told that working with computers needs a logical mind rather than great skills in mathematics. That’ s especially true, I believe, when it comes to writing programs. So I think my results show that I have some ability in logic and in mathematics, as well.

W: So, you would like to write material for computers, would you?

M: Yes, ma’am. That’s what interests me most about computers, writing programs. But I think the computer industry itself is still expanding enormously. I’ m sure that career prospects in the industry would be very good.

W: I see. Well, thank you. I’ve enjoyed our talk. We’ll be writing to you.

M: 1lmdc you, ms’ am. Good-bye.

Q1: According to the conversation, Mr. Johnson is NOT very strong in which subject?

Q2: Mr. Johnson thinks what can help him a lot in the job?

Q3: What would Mr. Johnson like to work as?

Passage two

M: Well, Cynthia, our first semester at university is almost over. I can’t wait for the holidays.

W: Me, too, Edward! Why don’ t we go somewhere far away and forget about lectures and essays and all that hard work.

M: Sounds good to me. Now, how long will we have before we have to be back here on campus for the next semester?

W: We’ve got about six weeks, I think.

M: How about if we go to the coast? It would be great to do some swimming and surfing.

W: The coast would be good, but let’s look at our other options. There are the mountains. They’re nice and cool at this time of year. And we can do some bush-walking. There’s also the desert, which I really enjoyed last year.

M: What about going to Sydney? I’ve never been there and they say it’s a great city to visit. Lots of things to do there, I’ve heard.

W: I agree Sydney would be good but there are too many tourists there at this time of year. And I’d rather get away from buildings and cars. There are enough of those around here. I vote for mountains.

M: All right, then, let’s do that. Now we have to decide where we’re going to stay and how we’re going to get there.

Q1: Where did the woman go for holiday last year?

Q2: Who are the two speakers?

Q3: Why does the man vote for Sydney?

Q4: What will the two speakers probably do next?

Passage One

An elderly woman yesterday made a legal claim against a department store because it had wrongly accused her of stealing a Christmas card. Ms. Doss white, 72 years old, is claiming $3,000 damages from the store for wrongful arrest and false imprisonment. Ms. White visited the store while doing Christmas shopping, but did not buy anything. She was followed though the town by a store manager. He had been told that a customer saw her take a card and put it in her shopping bag. He stopped her at a bookstore as she was reading a book. Ms. White said, “This man, a total stranger, suddenly grasped my bag and asked if he could look in it.” She was taken back to the store and shut in a small room in full view of shopper for 20 minutes until the police arrived. At the police station she was body-searched and nothing was found. Her lawyer said the department store sent an insincere apology and they insisted that she may have been stealing. The hearing continues today.

Q1. What does the story tell us about the old woman?

Q2. What was said to have been stolen?

Q3. What happened to Ms. White after she was taken back to the store?

Q4. What was now the attitude of the department store in this legal case?
