What is it about Americans and food? We love to

eat ,but we feel 1 about it afterward. We say we want o

nly the best, but we strangely enjoy junkfood.We’re 2 with health and weight loss but face an unprec

edented epidemic of obesity(肥

胖 ). Perhaps the 3 to this ambivalence(矛盾情

结) lies in our history. The first Europeans cameto

this continent searching for new spices but went i

n vain. The first cash crop(经济作

物)wasn’t eaten but smoked. Then there was Prohibi

tion, intended to prohibit drinking butactually enc

ouraging more 4 ways of doing it.

The immigrant experience, too, has been one of inha

rmony. Do as Romans do meanseating what“real Amer icans ” eat, but our nation ’s food has come to be

5 by imports—pizza,say, or hot dogs. And some of t

he country ’s most treasured cooking comes from peo ple whoarrived here in shackles.

Perhaps it should come as no surprise then that foo

d has been a medium for th

e nation ’sdefining strug gles, whether at the Boston Tea Party or the sit?in

s at southern lunch counters.It is integral to our

concepts of health and even morality whether one

re frains from alcohol forreligious reasons or evades

meat for political 6

But strong opinions have not brought 7 . Americans

are ambivalent about what they putin their mouths.

We have become 8 of our foods, especially as we

lea rn more about what theycontain.

The 9 in food is still prosperous in the American c onsciousness. It ’s no coincidence, then,that the f irst Thanksgiving holds the American imagination in such bondage( 束

缚 ). It ’s whatwe eat—and how we 10 it with friend

s, family, and strangers—that help define America

as acommunity today.

A. answer I. creative

B. result J. belief

C. share K. suspicious

D. guilty L. certainty

E. constant M. obsessed

F. defined N. identify

G. vanish O. ideals

H. adapted

【答案及解】

1.D feel 是一个系，可以判断此填入一个形

容，通上下文意思，以及后面介about, 可以确定

D guilty,短feel guilty about sth.“ ??

感到有愧”。全句的意思“我很吃，但是往往在吃完

之后又有罪感”。

2.M be obsessed with固定搭配，原意“被??

附上 / 住 / 迷住心”，放在本句表示“十分重”。全句

的意思“我很关心健康和减肥，但肥胖却又空前地在蔓

延”。

3. A本句缺一个名作主，并且根据和介to 的搭配，可以推断出正确answer.

4.I 本句根据 more 和 ways 可以判断出需要填入一个形容

构成比，根据上下文，表示“旨在禁止酗酒的禁酒

令，却激了更多新奇的方法来酗酒”，可以确定 I 正确。

5.F 本。根据 be 和 by 确定填入一个去分。再根据上下文，上文表示“ 吃典型的美国人吃的食物”，下文通 but 折，表

示上“美国的食物已被如比和狗的舶来品所了”，因此可以确定

F正确。

6.B 政治果，可根据宗教原因religious reasons来推断此填政治果。

7. L由于横后面没有，可以确定不是形成bring 的短，本句所缺的一名，做bring的。根据

下文解，“美国人他所吃的食物的度是矛盾的”，可以推出本句意“ 定的点也不是确定不的”。因

此可以确定L 正确。

8.K 系 become后填入一个形容，和后面介

of 形成短 be/become suspicious o f “ ??感到

疑”。

9. J本句缺一个名作主，并且根据和介in 的搭配，可以推断出正确belief，

(have)belief in sth. “相信??”。

10.C 本句是一般现在时，缺一个动词，且和with 搭

配，确定选项为share, share sth.withsb.,“与某人分享某事”。

答案： DCBAB

贝克尔和哈特曼报道说，“睡眠少的人”在未进入少年

期之前，其正常睡眠时间大致与所需要的时间差不多。但到

了 15 岁左右，由于学校、工作或其它活动的地压力，他们就故意地减少了夜间睡眠的时间。这些人持有这样的观点：

夜间睡眠是一件令人讨厌的事情，打断了日常事务。

总的说来，这些“睡眠少的人”表现得雄心勃勃、积极

活跃、精力充沛、无意识乐观豁达、立场坚定，对自己职业

的选择胸有成竹。他们往往同时从事几项工作，或者一边

上学读书，一边从事专职或兼职工作。其中许多人有强烈愿望，想在朋友和熟人面前表现得“正常”或“合群”。

当让他们回忆梦境时，“睡眠少的人”回忆不起什么

来。更有甚者，他们似乎情愿什么都记不住。类似的情况是

他们通常处理心理问题的方式：不承认问题的存在，希望只要忙忙碌碌，麻烦总会过去的。

“睡眠少的人”的睡眠模式与被划入疯子之类精神病

患者的睡眠模式十分相似，只不过没有那么严重而已。

“睡眠多的人”情形则大不相同。贝克尔和哈特曼报道

说，这些年轻人从小的，有抱负的睡眠就一直很长。他们好

像注重睡眠，不让睡眠受打搅。偶尔没有所需的 9 个小时夜间

卧床休息，他们便会十分不安。他们比“睡眠少的人”

要更能回忆得起梦的内容。许多“睡眠多的人”腼腆、焦躁、内向、压抑、消极和稍微有点儿沮丧，尤其在社交场合缺乏自信。好几个人坦言，睡眠是摆脱每天烦恼的一种方式。

【阅读练习】

Upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between

1 8and 21 years), children are encouraged, but not fo

rced, to“leave the nest” and begin anindependent life.

After children leave home they often find so

cial relationship and financialsupport outside the

family. Parents do not arrange marriages for their

children, nor do childrenusually ask permission of

their parents to get married, Romantic love is most

often the basisfor marriage in the United States;

young adults meet their future spouses (配

偶) through otherfriends, at jobs, and in organizat

ions and religious institutions, Although children

choose theirown spouses, they still hope their

pare nts will approve of their choices.

In many families, parents feel that children should

make major life decisions bythemselves. A parent m

ay try to influence a child to follow a particular

profession but the childis free to choose another c

areer. Sometimes children do precisely the opposite

of what theirparents wish in order to assert their independence. A son may deliberately decide not to

gointo his father ’s business because of a fear th

at he will lose his autonomy in his father ’sworkpl ace. This independence from parents is not an indic

ation that parents and children donot love each oth

er. Strong love between parents and children is uni

versal and this is noexception in the American fami

ly Coexisting with such love in the American family

are culturalvalues of self – reliance and indepen dence.

1.The writer discusses the marriage of young adult

s in order to show which of thefollowing?

A)They enjoy the freedom of choosing their spouses .

B)They want to win the permission of their parents

.

C)They have a strong desire to become independent.

D)They want to challenge the authority of their pa rents.

2.Most young adults in the U.S. get married for th

e sake o

f ____.

A)love

B)financial concern

C)their parents

D)family background

3.Based on the passage, it can be assumed that ___

___.

A)American young adults are likely to follow the

s uit of their parents

B)most American people never make major decisions

for their children

C)American young adults possess cultural values of independence

D)once a young person steps into his twenties,

he will leave his home permanently

4. A son is unwilling to work in his father ’s busi ness mainly because _____.

.

A)he wishes to make full use of what he has learnt

in school

B)he wants to prove his independence

C)he wishes to do the opposite of what his parents

approve of

D)he wants to show his love for his parents

【答案及详解】

答案：CACBA

子女一旦到适当年龄( 通常是 18 至 21 岁) ，要鼓励而不是强迫他们“离开窝的，财政的巢”，开始独立生活。小孩

离开家后，往往在外能够与人交往，并自谋出路。父母不为子女安排婚姻，子女结婚也通常无需获得父母同意。在美

国，浪漫的爱情往往是婚姻的基础，青年人通过朋友在学校、

单位、组织以及宗教团体认识自己的，爱情的未来的伴侣。尽管子女自己择偶，他们仍然希望父母能认同他们的选择。

许多家庭的父母认为，应由子女自己来做他们生活中的

重大决定。家长可能会设法影响子女去从事某一职业，但子

女也有选择其它职业的自由。有时为了证实自己的独立性，子女从事的工作正好与父母希望的相反。儿子可能执意不去

父亲的企业工作，因为担心在那里就不能独立自主。这种不

依靠父母的独立性并不意味着父母与子女之间缺乏爱心。父

母和子女之间普遍都有挚爱，美国家庭也毫不例外。只不过

在美国家庭之中，还融合了自主、独立的文化价值观念。

英语四级阅读理解练习题及解析(4)

【阅读练习】

Now let us look at how we read. When we read a prin

tedtext, our eyes move across a page in short, jerk

y movement. We recognize words usually whenour eyes

are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate,

we see a group of words. This isknown as the recog nition span or the visual span. The length of time ofr which the eyes stop ---the duration of the fixa tion ---

-varies considerably from person to person.

It also vaies withinany one person according to hi

s purpose in reading and his familiarity with the t ext.Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors

as lighting and tiredness.

Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvemen t courses have concentrated toomuch on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasison the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to tr ain theeyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed onto

a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a sec ond. One of the exercises has requiredstudents to f

ix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such wordpatterns are often c onstructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes inmore and more words at each suc

cessive fixation. All these exercises are very clev

er, but it ’sone thing to improve a person ’s abili ty to see words and quite another thing to improve hisability to read a text efficiently. Reading requ

ires the ability to understand the relationshipbetw

een words. Consequently, for these reasons, many ex perts have now begun to questionthe usefulness of e

ye training, especially since any approach which

trains a person to read isolated words and phrases

would seem unlikely to help him inreading a continu ous text.

Q:

1.The time of the recognition span can be affected

by the following facts except________ .

A.one’s familiarity with the text

B.one’s purpose in reading

C.the length of a group of words

D.lighting and tiredness

2. The author may believe that reading ______.

A. requires a reader to take in more words at

each fixation

B. requires a reader to see words more quickly

C. demands an deeply-participating mind

D. demands more mind than eyes

3 What does the author mean by saying“but it ’s o ne thing to improve a person ’s ability tosee words and quite another thing to improve his ability to

read a text efficiently.” in thesecond parapraph?

A. The ability to see words is not needed when an e

fficient reading is conducted.

B. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to i mprove both the ability to see and tocomprehend

wor ds.

C. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to i mprove an efficient reading.

D. The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s ability to seewords.

4.Which of the following is NOT true?

A.The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.

B.Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.

C.The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is mis leading.

D.The eye training will help readers in reading a c ontinuous text.

5.The tune of the author in writing this article

i s ________

A critical

B neutral

C prssimistic

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .

1. When I was growing up, the whole world was Jewish. The heroes were Jewish and the villains were Jewish. The landlord, the doctor, the grocer, your best friend, the village idiot, and the neighborhood bully: all Jewish. We were working class and immigrants as well, but that just come with the territory. Essentially we were Jews on the streets of New York. We learned to be kind, cruel, and smart and feeling in a mixture of language and gesture that was part street slang, part grade-school English, part kitchen Yiddish. One Sunday evening when I was eight years old my parents and I were riding in the back seat of my rich uncle's car. We had been out for a ride and now we were back in the Bronx, headed for home. Suddenly, another car sideswiped us. My mother and aunt shrieked. My uncle swore softly. My father, in whose lap I was sitting, said out the window at the speeding car, “That's all right. Nothing but a few Jews in here.” In an instant I knew everything. I knew there was a world beyond our streets, and in that world my father was a humiliated man, without power or standing. When I was sixteen a girl in the next building had her nose straightened; we all went together to see Selma Shapiro lying in state, wrapped in bandages from which would emerge a person fit for life beyond the block. Three buildings away a boy went downtown for a job, and on his application he wrote “Anold Brown”instead of “Anold Braunowiitz.”The news swept through the neighborhood like a wild fire. A name change? What was happening here? It was awful; it was wonderful. It was frightening; it was delicious. Whatever it was, it wasn't standstill.Thing felt lively and active. Self-confidence was on the rise, passivity on the wane. We were going to experience challenges. That's what it meant to be in the new world. For the first time we could imagine ourselves out there. But whom exactly do I mean when I say we? I mean Arinie, not Selma. I mean my brother, not me. I mean the boys, not the girls. My mother stood behind me, pushing me forward. “The girls goes to college, too,” she said. And I did. But my going to college would not mean the same thing as my brother's going to college, and we all knew it. For my brother, college meant going from the Bronx to Manhattan. But for me? From the time I was fourteen I yearned to get out of the Bronx, but get out into what? I did not actually imagine myself a working person alo ne in Manhattan and nobody else did either. What I did imagine was that I would marry, and that the man I married would get me downtown. He would break the perils of class and race, and some how I'd be there alongside him. 1.In the passage, we can find the author was____.

大学英语四级阅读理解（1）We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(把......按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning. In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyse and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every
