47、WhichofthefollowingstatementsisTRUE,accordingtotheauthor?

A、Everyonehasarighttoholdhisownopinion.

B、Freeexpressionofopinionsoftenleadstoconfusion.

C、Mostpeopletendtobecarelessinformingtheiropinions.

D、Casualuseoftheword"opinion'1oftenbringsaboutquarrels.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：细节题。文章最后一段说"Iseveryoneentitledtohisopinion?Of

course,thisisnotonlypermitted»butguaranteed".其中，beentitledto是“有权享

受'’的意思。因此，选项A中的havearightloslh.与beentilledloslh.同义。所以

A为正确答案。

48、Accordingtotheauthor,whoofthefollowingwouldbelabeledasintolerant?

A、Someonewhoturnsadeafeartoothers'opinions.

Someonewhocan'tputupwithotherstastes.

C>Someonewhovaluesonlytheirownopinions.

D、Someonewhoseopinionsharmotherpeople.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。依据第一段最后一句话说"Infact,anyonewhowould

challengeanother'sopinionislikelytobebrandedintolerant0,challenge的意思是

“向...发出挑战”，与选项B中的Can'tputupwith及intolerant意思相符,所以选

择B项为答案。

49>ThenewFordcarsarecitedasanexampletoshowthat.

A、itisfoolishtocriticizeafamousbrand

B、oneshouldnetalwaysagreetoothers'opinions

C、personaltastesarcnotsomethingtobechallenged

D、itisunwisetoexpressone'slikesanddislikesinpublic

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推理题。艰据文章第二段后半部分可知，福特牌轿车的例子说明

opinion指的是个人的喜好，是个人品位问题，因此不应遭到质疑。可见福特的例

子用以说明个人的品位是不该质疑的事情，所以选项C是正确答案。

50、Consideredjudgmentisdifferentfrompersonalpreferenceinthat.

A、ilisstatedbyjudgesinthecourt

B、itreflectspubliclikesanddislikes

C、itisaresultofalotofcontroversy

D、itisbasedoncarefulthought

标准答案：D:

知识点解析：推断题。艰据文章第三段内容"Theystatedtheirconsideredjudgment,

painstakinglyarrivedatafterthoroughinquiryanddeliberation".而considered

judgment”慎重考虑的结论“同"painstakinglyarrivedatafterthoroughinquiryand

deliberation"意思相近，也就是说经过深思熟虑的判断(basedoncarefulthought)>据

此，正确答案是D。

51>Asindicatedinthepassage,beingfreetoactonone'sopinion.

A>meansthatonecanignoreotherpeople'scriticism

B、meansthatonecanimposehispreferencesonothers

C、doesn'tmeanthatonehasthefighttodothingsatwill

D、doesn'tmeanthatonehastherighttochargeotherswithoutevidence

标准答案：C

知识点解析：观点态度题。文章最后一句提到了"Wearefreetoactonouropinions

onlysolongas,indoingso,wedonotharmothers".即按自己的观点去做事,必须

要以不损害他人为前提。即：不能为所欲为，选项C符合题意。选项A、B是不受

任何制约的做法，可能会损害到他人，故与原文不符；选项D谈到的是质疑别人

的权力，与文章内容不符。

52、Whydoestheauthorcongratulatehismalereadersatthebeginningofthepassage?

A、Theyaremorelikelytosurviveseriousdiseasestoday.

B、Theiraveragelifespanhasbeenconsiderablyextended.

C、Theyhavelivedlongenoughtoreadthisarticle.

D^Theyaresuretoenjoyalongerandhappierlife.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：推理题。定位到文章第一段，文章第一段讲述了男性往往比女性更容

易患病早亡，并列举了一些数据。因此如果男性读者能够读到第一段，便是有幸躲

过严重疾病的人。对应的正确答案为［A］,即因为他们现在更有可能在经历了严重

的疾病之后活下来。|B|和|D|选项错误在于文章并没有提及寿命的延长；［C］为强

干扰性选项，错在仅重复了文章首句的字面意思，而没有深入理解作者的意图。

53、Whatdoestheauthorstateisthemostimportantreasonmendiefiveyearsearlieron

averagethanwomen?

A、Mendrinkandsmokemuchmorethanwomen.

B、Mendon'tseekmedicalcareasoftenaswomen.

C、Menaren'tascautiousaswomeninfaceofdanger.

D、Menaremorelikelytosufferfromfataldiseases.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。定位到文章第二段最后一句话。原文中的moreimportantly

对应题干中的mostimportantreasono本题考查的是对比关系，答案选［B］“男人不像

女人一样频繁地求助于医疗”。文章第二段提到mentakemorerisksthanwomenand

arcmorelikelytodrinkandsmoke,但是注意本题问的是themostimportantreason,

由破折号及其后的butperhapsmoreimportantly,可以轻松排除［A］和［C］；而选项

［D］的内容在原文中与题干内容是并列关系，而非因果关系。

54、Whichofthefollowingbestcompletesthesentence"Geez,ifitcouldhappento

him,..."（Line2,Paragraph8）?

A^itcouldhappentome,too

B、shouldavoidplayinggolf

C、Ishouldconsidermyselflucky

D、itwouldbeabigmisfortune

标准答案：A

知识点解析：推理题。本题考查对句子隐含意思的理解。根据原文的意思，可以判

断本句是条件关系，因此可以判断“如果会在他身上发生“，后面省略的应该是“也

会在我身上发生"，故［A］选项为正确答案。该题属于四级阅读中并不多见的把句子

补充完整的考法，其实质是考查考生对句子意思的推断性理解。

55>WhatdoesDr.RossCartmillmeanby"theostrichapproach"（Line1,Paragraph9）?

A、Acasualattitudetowardsone'shealthconditions.

B、Anewtherapyforcertainpsychologicalproblems.

C>Refusaltogetmedicaltreatmentforfearofthepaininvolved.

D、Unwillingnesstofindoutaboutone'sdiseasebecauseoffcar.

标准答案：D

知识点解析；语义题。艰据题干信息定位到原文第九段。语义题的做法是根据相邻

的句子判断所考查单词、词组或句子的意思。osirichapproach后面的句子对这个词

组进行了解释，［D］选项与其构成同义替换，即原文中的scaredof对应选项中的

fear,wouldrathernotknow对应unwillingnesstofindout（不愿意发现），所以选

|D|o

56、WhatdoesCartmillsayaboutregularcheck-upsformen?

A^Theymayincreasepublicexpenses.

B、Theywillsavemoneyinthelongrun.

C、Theymaycausepsychologicalstrainsonmen.

D、Theywillenablemen.toliveaslongaswomen.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。对应文章最后一段。［B］选项与原文最后一段中Cartmill的

话构成了同义替换,即savemoney对应cheaper。［A］选项与原文意思相反；［C］选

项中psychological（心理的）一词原文并未提及；|D］选项根据原文意思无法推出。

该题考查的是转折关系，四级考查转折关系时，答案往往出现在转折词之后。

十一、完型填空（本题共20题，每题7.0分，共20
