第4题：
问答题Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing a maximum of three words from the passage to fill in the spaces 76 - 80. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions 1- 5 are based on the following passage. Lack of culture, or rather an excess of the wrong sort of culture, is often considered to be synonymous with disadvantage. Most commonly associated with low cultural standards are low levels of reading, and some thirteen per cent of all twenty-three-year-olds feel they have trouble with reading and writing. One way of compensating such disadvantaged young people is thought to be to provide them with the culture they lack: in particular, high quality reading material. Whereas forty to fifty per cent of young people aged sixteen to twenty rarely read a book, the majority appear to read comics. In 1991 sales of Viz, a UK comic exceeded one million copies per issue, making it the fourth best-selling periodical in Britain. The reading of comics, however, is not restricted to young people: by 1992 it was estimated that two out of three men aged eighteen to fifty-three read Viz. The number of imitators of this comic has spawned, including Zit, Gas, BrainDamageand Swiz,indicates the extent of the influence it wields. The reading of comics was traditionally regarded by the educational establishment with considerable suspicion. Whereas the received arts were always assumed to exert an improving or civilizing influence, comics were thought to “rot children’s brains”, to lower educational standards and to threaten morality. They were, and are, assumed to be an inferior cultural form; their readers assumed to come from the lower social classes, to be low educational attainers and to be easily led astray. Over the past decade, perceptions of comics have shifted. Since the 1970s, the comic format has been commonly used to represent the interests of various disenfranchises groups—community groups, the unemployed, welfare recipients of—who became more conscious of a climate conditioned by other contemporary movements such as civil rights, consumerism, self-help and de-institutionalization. As cultural signifiers, comics have become the subject matter of academic courses in cultural and media studies. Indeed, young people’s cultural activities, grounded in the commercial rather than the subsidized sector, are beginning to merit the attention of the arts establishment. Summary: Low cultural standards，such as 1 of reading，a difficulty experienced by many young adults, are often associated with disadvantage. While around half of sixteen to twenty-year-olds rarely read books，most will read comics. Although many comics in Britain are 2 and have lots of readers，the educational establishment sill considers them to be an 3 appealing only to the lower levels of society. However, attitudes are beginning to change as the format has been adopted to 4 of disenfranchised groups. Certain comics have been included in the courses of 5 studies. Young people’s cultural activities are beginning to attract the attention of the arts establishment.正确答案：
1.low levels 第一段中间提到Most commonly associated with ... they have trouble with reading and writing.与低文化标准相关联的往往是较低的阅读水平,在年龄为23岁的年轻人中有大约13%的人感觉他们在读写方面有困难。
2.best-selling periodicals 摘要中空格的后半句提到and have lots of readers,由此可知空格处应该填与其意思相同的词。文章的第二段指出漫画的销售量很好。所以应该填best-selling periodicals。
3.inferior cultural form 文章的第三段提到The reading of comics was traditionally regarded by the educational establishment with considerable suspicion...They were, and are, assumed to be an inferior cultural form,教育家对人们读漫画书持怀疑态度,漫画书被认为是一种次等的表现文化的形式,漫画书腐蚀人们的心灵,漫画书的阅读者被人们认为来自于较低的社会阶层。由此可知摘要中应该填inferior cultural form。
4.represent the interests 本题答案在文章最后指出“漫画书代表了许多无选举权的团体的利益”,即represent the interests。
5.cultural and media 文章最后一段倒数第二句指出comics have become the subject matter of academic courses in cultural and media studies.漫画已经成为文化和媒体领域中的一门重要课程。故答案为cultural and media。解析： 暂无解析 -

正确答案： D解析：
推理判断题。题干意思为“从整篇文章可以推断出以下哪个选项?” 两段分别介绍了知识的不同形态，并鼓励大学生不能只关注课本知识，因此B项“学校和书本不是学习知识的唯一途径”正确。A项夸大其词，第一段第二句the college student will find that every craftsman (工匠) has something he can teach是说大学生都会从木匠那里学到知识，并非“我们要邀请工匠来大学上课”。C项“科学的发现以个人经验为依据”，D项“发现与再发现是大学生获得知识的重要途径”原文均没有涉及。 -

He didn’t always greet new experiments in cooking with glee.”可知，“父亲的习惯常年不变，不喜欢尝试新食物。”而后文提到“我刚开始学习烹饪，喜欢邀请父母品尝新手艺，”该段的最后一句话说到：Dad would look at his plate suspiciously and ask, “Am I the ‘guinea pig’ for this meal?”由此可见，当父亲看到盘子中的菜时，怀疑自己是女儿实验用的“小白鼠”，而不愿意吃其中的食物，因此父亲拒绝品尝新手艺。 -

填空题What conclusion can we draw about working at home from the passage?Working at home is getting popular but most people need to meet their colleagues ____.正确答案： face to face.解析：
主旨题。由录音中的最后一句话可知，实际上，人们不能只在家工作而不面对面地接触同事。所以此处应填face to face。
【录音原文】
With the increasing use of the Internet, it is becoming more and more common for people to work at home. There appear to be many advantages to this. First, it saves time and money normally spent on traveling. It also reduces pollution. In addition, you have the opportunity to choose when and how you work. It’s not necessary that everyone stick to a nine-to-five working day. You can be your own boss. However, there just isn’t enough human interaction if you only work at home. Real communication seems to be absent. Perhaps younger people don’t have this problem as they can use online communication techniques. But employees who work at home seem to spend too much time online trying to find people to meet face to face. In fact, most people are not able to work just at home without meeting their colleagues face to face sometimes.
Q 11: why are more and more people able to work at home?
Q 12: What are the advantages of working at home?
Q 13: What is another advantage of working at home?
Q 14: What is the problem with working at home only?
Q 15: What conclusion can we draw about working at home from the passage? -

BThe alphabet is to blame for the failure of Zoë Zysman.
CCustomers often pay a lot of attention to companies’ names.
DSome form of discrimination is too subtle to recognize.
正确答案： C解析：
推论题。前三段主要讲述了字母歧视并举例证明其存在，第二段和第三段举例证明主题，用“a suspiciously large number of top people have surnames beginning with letters between A and K”以及很多名人的首字母是前几位字母的事实，这些事实说明虽然这种歧视很细微，人们可能观察不到，但它们的确说明了字母歧视的存在。A, B过于绝对，文章只是指出名字靠前的人具有优势，并没有说这是人们成功的根源，也没有说名字靠后是失败的根源。C文中未提及。
