英语四级练习题（1）

江湖上，每每侠客想要救人或是寻求某物都会有这样那样的闯关之说，想想我们考研的一干人等在通关考研这个环节也与江湖规则有相似之处。侠客必会使出所学绝活勇闯关门，当然考研人也一样需要掌握必备的闯关术。我作为通关成功之士就在这里献上我的三大“闯关术”，以期对后来志士有所帮助吧!

闯关术之英语：重视真题，早下手多努力

首先，一定要重视真题，特别是其中的阅读部分，至少要做五遍以上，对于其中的经典文章，比较好要能背诵。具体言之，第一遍主要是自测(可保留近几年的真题)，可在单词背完一到二遍后进行，先做题(阅读部分)，一定要在规定时间内完成，然后对答案。注意在第一遍做题的时候比较好把答案写在草稿纸上，而不要直接写在试题上。对完答案后，自己想对也做对的可不用去管，自己想错但做对的在题目前标注“?”，自己做错的在题目前标注“X”,这样，之后再看的时候就重点看自己当初做错的和稀里糊涂做对的题目。对完答案后，一定要仔细比照试题解析从“单词、长难句、篇章结构、试题”四个方面仔细研究试题。另外应把真题中好的句子和句式摘录下来以备以后作文使用。第三遍看的时候可结合一些有关命题规律的书从“题型”的角度去把握试题，争取会做一道题就会做一种类型的题。

其次，英语要天天看。英语的学习是一个日积月累的过程，只有天天不间断的看英语才能确保英语水平的稳步提高，因此每天都要拿出一段时间来看英语，比较好是养成早读的习惯，可读单词，看读真题。特别应指出的是，后一个月间，每两天或一天都要做一套题(阅读部分)，比较好是尚未做过的历年真题，以防止手生，保持题感。总之，只有 天天学英语，才能保持语感，终保持题感。

后，关于单词：不间断，反复看，尤其注意单词的常考含义和生僻含义，通过真题记忆单词。关于语法：不必专门复习，遇到不清楚的，随时查阅，广泛阅读足以弥补在这方面的不足。关于新题型：万变不离其宗，后一段时间练习一下即可。关于完型、翻译：一般重视即可，包含于阅读之中，在于平时积累，短时间内难以提高。关于阅读：单词是基础，方法是关键;精做历年真题以研究答题方法和出题思路。关于作文：注意从历年真题阅读中挖掘写作资源，记模板，记句型，反复用，经常写(后一个月争取两天一篇)。总之，对于英语，要早下手，多努力，只有坚持不懈，方能水滴石穿。去看看 考研英语学习妙招

闯关术之政治：重视基础，理解基础多记忆

首先，一定要重视基础，把一些基本的概念都要搞懂弄透，因为试题考查的都是一些很基础的东西。其次，一定要好好的利用历年真题。我政治复习开始的较晚，看的时间也较少，因此能考到85分着实出乎我的意料，现在想来，之所以能考这么多分实则是沾了真题的光。后一段时间，我每天都会拿出一个小时来研究政治真题(特别是主观题)的答题思路，后我发现政治主观题的答题秘诀有二：一是答主观题时一定要先解释题目中的概念。例如，“从精神文明的角度，谈谈依法治国与和谐社会的关系”，那么首先就要对“精神文明”“依法治国”“和谐社会”这三个概念进行解释，这样就先得了一半以上的分数。二是要多答要点，少展开论述，因为判卷是踩点给分。

写作方法与文章大意

这是一篇论及“博士生辍学”的文章。采用对比和因果手法。文章一开始就提出教育工作者严重关注博士生辍学达50%的问题。而调查报告证明，只有31%。辍学造成不良后果，有人建议中途退学者回炉再念博士学位学业。研究表明不行。列出理由并加以分析。

答案详解

许多教育工作者感到应采取步骤让辍学者回校学习，特别是有些学科。这在第三段后一句话：“有些人建议高级专家和大学教师短缺现象可以通过劝说辍学者返回校园完成博士学位来减少。”

辍学者应回到稍第几的学校去完成学业。 有博士学位的人一般比辍学者具有较好的适应性。 高辍学率主要原因在于教师方面缺乏刺激鼓励。这三项文内没有提。

约三分之一开始就读博士学位的人没有完成学业取得学位。第二段第一句：“辍学率为31%。大多数情况下，辍学人不能完成博士学位学业，就去从事生产性工作”。

辍学者的经济收入比博士生低许多。这是错的。见倒数第二段：“作为辍学者干得真不错的证明，统计图表说明2%人文学科的辍学者年收入为20XX0多没劲，没有一个同样背景的博士生达到这个数字。7000至15000美元年收入水平为博士生的78%，辍学者仅为50%。” 在博士学习中刺激因素较小。 博士预备生如果中途退学很可能改变其专业领域。

博士生应达到外语要求的水平是许多博士生课程的一个基本组成部分。这在第四段有所表示：“约75%的退学者说，他们决定退学并不是处于学术的原因，而处于学术原因的退学者提出：难以通过资格考试，难以完成研究，通不过外语考试”。这里看出外语是博士生课程的基本组成部分。

它是退学频繁的原因。 它对理科博士生比文科博士应考生更难。 它在大学中的难度并没有不同。

读完这篇文章，人们不会有这种结论。这在第三段末和后一段。第三段末：“我们研究的结果并不支持这些一件(包括返回校园之意见)：⑴缺乏动力是退学的主要原因。⑵大多数退学者在博士课程上已经达到和他们的能力水平和专业水平相一致的水平。⑶大多数退学者现在从事的工作和他们所受教育和动机相一致。”后一段：“至于返回校园的可能性，前景不乐观。至少有25%的退学生可能考虑返回研究生院就读，条件是确保他们保留现有的收入水平，有些还要保留他们目前的工作。”

博士生退学者，大体而论，并不具备得到学位所需要的一切。 学院和大学雇佣了许多退学生。 博士生在非学术岗位上没有挣到他们应得的钱。、两项文内没提。不对，参见难句译注4。

博士生的工资太低。见第四题的译注和难句译注4。

学术要求太高。这只是某些因学术原因辍学者之强调点。 辍学者工资太高。不是太高而是有一部分高于博士生。见第二题D项注释。 职位低。文内没有提。

英语四级练习题（3）

1.[D] 根据文章第1段，老虎被捕杀是其数量剧减的根本原因，因此使老虎免于被杀是野生动物保护基金会的最终目的，故选D。

2.[B] 第3段第2句说，但研究表明老虎捕捉猎物的成功率仅为1/20，B与之相符。第2段说到老虎一般会避免领土之争，C与之不符，故排除;A、D在原文中并未提及均可排除。

3.[A] 第2段第2句提到，研究表明，一头雄老虎依年龄、体型及力量可以控制10至20公里的'狩猎领地，随着老虎的长大，其体型及力量都在增大，其占领的狩猎领地的面积自然也就增大，故A正确。

4.[C] 文章第4段首句说,许多人近来开始担心老虎项目过于成功，C项是该句的同义替换，故为答案。

5.[B] 纵观全文，作者对于老虎保护项目没有加入个人的主观色彩，他持的是一种客观的态度，故选B。

Iraqi President Fouad Massoum has asked a deputy speaker of parliament to form a new government. If he is successful, Haider al-Abadi would take the place of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

Kurds, Sunnis and his fellow Shiites have asked Mr. Maliki to leave office. But he says he will seek a third term as Prime Minister.

Egypt helped the two sides reach the cease-fire agreement. It took effect early Monday. Both sides are now meeting in Cairo to try to reach a long-term agreement to end the fighting.

An earlier 72-hour cease-fire ended Friday with no progress toward a longer-term truce. It ended with Hamas restarting its rocket attacks on Israel and the Israeli military carrying out new airstrikes in Gaza.
