考試吧恩波：2008年12月四級(jí)預(yù)測(cè)試卷及解析(四)

　　6. NG 先從文章中找到 Bellavance 這個(gè)名字，然后細(xì)讀會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)文章并沒(méi)有明確提及他提高自己的計(jì)算技能。

　　7. N 根據(jù)domestic affairs可基本確定此題信息出自標(biāo)題Family matters中的內(nèi)容，在第一段找到對(duì)應(yīng)句“In addition to pursuing training or volunteering, some displaced careerists use their time off work to attend to family matters.”，由此可以斷定他們只是更多地參與到家庭事務(wù)中，絕非全權(quán)掌管家事，所以陳述不對(duì)。

　　8. a huge boost/increase in confidence 陳述中的人名就是關(guān)鍵信息詞，內(nèi)容屬于標(biāo)題Family matters中的事例，在最后一段第一句話提到“One of the unexpected benefits was the huge boost in confidence he gained from his role as caregiver.”，所以Mr. Rappaport意外的收獲就是信心大增。

　　9. scriptwriting and the movie business 同樣根據(jù)人名鎖定陳述對(duì)應(yīng)的句子在標(biāo)題Discovery and Exploration的第二段“Michael Ross…recently spent his 10 months of unemployment playing guitar and exploring his lifelong interest in scriptwriting and the movie business.”，直接填空即可。

　　10. shoring up family bonds 本題為全文“unemployment ‘blessings’”的總結(jié)，自然應(yīng)該在文章最后一段尋找相關(guān)內(nèi)容，對(duì)應(yīng)的句子是“These job seekers pursued service, continuing education and shoring up family bonds”，同樣可以直接填空。

　　Q: How far must the man walk to get to the bank?

　　12. W: I’m crazy about the blue woolen sweater in the window. Could I see it, please?
