1.2022年6月大学英语四级阅读理解范文

　　In a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver? I began studyingthis question and found the answers interesting.

　　One morning I got into three different taxis and announced, "Well, it's my first day back in New York in seven years. I've been in prison." Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. "Yeah, I shot a man in Reno." I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, but nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghanaian driver, "Reno? That is in Nevada?"

　　Taxi drivers were uniformly sympathetic when I said I'd just been fired. "This is America," a Haitian driver said. "One door is closed. Another is open." He argued against my plan to burn down my boss's house. A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope; he refused to take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge--a $20 trip. "Why you want to go there? Go home and relax. Don't worry. Take a new job."

　　One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red ski mask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the word"BANK" on it, I tried calling a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up every tie. My ride with a Haitian driver was typical of the superb assistance I received.

　　"Let's go across the park." I said. "I just robbed the bank there. I got $25,000."

　　"$25,0007" he asked.

　　"Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it?"

　　"No, man. I work 8 hours and I don't make almost $70. If I can do that, I do it too."

　　As we approached 86th and Lexington, I pointed to the Chemical Bank.

　　"Hey, there's another bank," I said, "Could you wait here a minute while I go inside?"

　　"No, I can't wait. Pay me now." His reluctance may have had something to do with money--taxi drivers thinkthe rate for waiting time is too low--but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can't expect unconditional support.

　　练习题：

　　Choose correct answers to the question:

　　1. From the Ghanaian driver's response, we can infer that_____

　　A .he was indifferent to the killing

　　B. he was afraid of the author

　　C. he looked clown upon the author

　　D. he thought the author was crazy

　　2. Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to take the author to the middle of the George Washington Bridge?

　　A. Because he was able to help the author to find a new job.

　　B. Because he wanted to go home and relax.

　　C. Because it was far away from his home.

　　D. Because he thought that the author would commit suicide.

　　3. What is the author's interpretation of the driver's reluctance "to wait outside the Chemical Bank"?

　　A. The driver thought that the rate for waiting time was too low.

　　B. The driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally.

　　C. The driver was frightened and wanted to leave him as soon as possible.

　　D. The driver did not want to help a suspect to escape from a bank robbery.

　　4. Which of the following statements is true about New York taxi drivers?

　　A. They are ready to help you do whatever you want to.

　　B. They refuse to pick up those who would kill themselves.

　　C. They are sympathetic with those who are out of work.

　　D. They work only for money.

　　5. The passage mainly discusses _______.

　　A. how to please taxi riders

　　B. how to deal with taxi riders

　　C. the attitudes of taxi drivers towards riders in personal trouble

　　D. the attitudes of taxi drivers towards troublesome taxi riders

　　参考答案

　　1.[A] 推理判断题。从第2段最后一句的only response可以看出这个司机只问了一个与杀 人这件事无关的问题，由此可见，司机对此事毫不关心，态度冷淡。

　　2.[D] 推理判断题。本题的关键在于了解在美国，髙耸的大桥通常是人们自 杀的场所。根据这个背景知识，以及第3段中司机说的relax和Don’t worry可推断出司机以为作者要到华盛顿桥去自 杀。

　　3.[B] 事实细节题。本题考查对复杂句的理解。答案可以在文章的最后一句话中找到，破折号后面but引出的转折句才是作者对司机不愿等人的理解。A是一般出租车司机的想法，由may可知作者并不确定那个司机是否有此考虑,A不对;C和D都无原文依据。

　　4.[C] 推理判断题。答案可从第3段第1句话中找到,C是该句的同义替换。A中的do whatever you want to过于绝对;B不符合逻辑，因为司机不可能先问乘客是否要自 杀才决定要不要载这个乘客;巴基斯坦司机的例子表明司机不都是只为了钱，因此D不正确。

　　5.[C] 主旨大意题。文章开篇第1句话就是整篇文章的主题句，接下来的各段内容都是围绕此主题展开的，C与之意思相符，故选C。本题干扰性的是D,事实上，该选项中的troublesome意为“烦人的”，而不是"陷人麻烦的”，因此不能用该词形容文中的乘客，故排除D。

　　Henry III didn't know much about biology. He went through six wives back in the 1500s, looking for one whocould bear him a son. Scientists now know that it's the father's sperm, not the mother's egg, which determines whether a baby is a boy or a girl. And last week researchers at the Genetics and IVF Institute, a private fertility(生育能力)center in Virginia, announced a new technique that will allow parents to choose the sex of their baby-to-be, before it has even been conceived. The scientist used a tiny laser detector to measure the DNA in millions of sperm cells as they pass single file through a narrow tube, like cattle being herded through a corral(牲口栏). In a study published last week, "girl sperm," which has more DNA—the genetic material— in each cell, was collected, while "boy sperm" was discarded. And when purified girl sperm was used to impregnate(使受孕)a group of mothers, 15 of 17 resulting babies turned out to be girls.

　　The researchers say that "sex selection" can also double a mother's chance of having a son and can be usedto avoid genetic diseases that affect only one gender, such as hemophilia(血友病). But some experts, like New York University fertility specialist Dr. Jamie Grifo, worry that sex selection could lead to a kind ofin uteri(子宫)discrimination, especially in cultures where sons are considered superior to daughters. "It's valuing one gender' over another," Grifo says. "I don't think that's something we should be doing." So far, patients at the institute have been asking for both boys and girls, in order to "balance" their families. And some ethics experts say that's fine, as long as parents are just looking for a little gender variety. "If you have three boys, and you want a girl," says University of Texas reproductive-law professor John Robertson, "that's not gender bias at all."

　　练习题：

　　Choose correct answers to the question:

　　1.The DNA in the sperm cells can be measured ______.

　　A.in the same way how the cattle are herded

　　B.when they pass through a tube one behind the other

　　C.after they pass through a laser tube

　　D.when they are scanned by a laser detector all at a time

　　2.The gender of the baby is decided by ______.

　　A.the father's DNA

　　B.the mother's DNA

　　C.the father's sperm

　　D.the mother's egg

　　3.According to this passage, the practice of "sex selection" ______.

　　A.can help to prevent all genetic problems

　　B.is totally unacceptable to ethics experts

　　C.was already realized five hundred years ago

　　D.will benefit families with certain inheritable diseases

　　4.Girl sperm was preferred to boy sperm in the research most probably because____

　　A.girl sperm contains more genetic material

　　B.more mother want to have girl babies

　　C.girl sperm is healthier and more active

　　D.girl sperm is more easily purified

　　5.It can be concluded from the passage that author’s toward”sex selection”is____

　　A.negative

　　B.positive

　　C.neutral

　　D.favorable

　　参考答案

　　1.[B] 推理判断题。解答本题的关键在于推断single file的意思。该句把精子通过试管的情形与牛群被赶入牲口圈的情形作对比，结合single一词本身的意思，可以推断single file是“一个接一个”的意思，只有选项B能表达这个意思，由此也可否定选项D。选项A干扰性，原句是把精子通过试管的情形比作牛群被赶人牲口圈的情形，而选项A说的是测定精子内DNA的方法与放牧的方法相同，显然选项A只是引用了原文的某些词语，但表达的意思与原文却截然不同。

　　2.[C] 事实细节题。第1段第3句which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰的是the father's sperm，而不是插入语the mother’s egg,因此选项C正确。

　　3.[D] 推理判断题。第2段第1句中的genetic暗示有些疾病是遗传的，即如选项D所述。第2段第1句同时表明选项A的说法是不全面的。选项B与第2段最后两句正好相反。第1段前两句说明选项C是错误的。

　　4.[A] 事实细节题。第1段倒数第2句中的由which引导的定语从句表明选项A的叙述正确。

　　5.[C] 观点态度题。文章第2段中作者给出了一些反对者和赞成者的观点，但是没有加以评论，可以看出作者的态度是中立的，故选项C正确。

3.2022年6月大学英语四级阅读理解范文

　　Hardly a week goes by without some advance in technology that would have seemed incredible 50 years ago. And we can expect the rate of change to accelerate rather than slow down within our lifetime. The developments in technology are bound to have a dramatic effect on the future of work. By 2010, new technology will have revolutionized communications. People will be transmitting messages down telephone lines that previously would have been sent by post. Not only postmen but also clerks and secretaries will vanish in a paper-free society. All the routine tasks they perform will be carried on a tiny silicon chip so that they will be as obsolete(已废弃的) as the horse and cart after the invention of the motorcar. One change will make thousands, if not millions, redundant.

　　Even people in traditional professions, where expert knowledge has been the key, are unlikely to escape the effects of new technology. Instead of going to a solicitor, you might go to a computer that is programmed with all the most up-to-date legal information. Doctors, too, will find that an electronic competitor will be able to carry out a much quicker and more accurate diagnosis and recommend more efficient courses oftreatment. In education, teachers will be largely replaced by teaching machines far more knowledgeable than any human being. Most learning will take place in the home via video conferencing. Children will still go to school though, until another place is created where they can make friends and develop social skills.

　　练习题：

　　Choose correct answers to the question:

　　1.According to the writer, the rate of change in technology______.

　　A.will remain the same

　　B.will slow down

　　C.will speed up

　　D.can not be predicted

　　2.The writer expects that by 2020 new technology will have revolutionized communications and ____

　　A.people needn’t telephone each other

　　B.the present postal system will have disappeared

　　C.people will no longer send letters

　　D. the postmen will have been replaced by silicon chip.

　　3.The word “they” (Line 6，Para. 1) refers to _____.

　　A. the tiny silicon chips

　　B.the letter written on paper

　　C. the postmen, clerks and secretaries

　　D.the routine tasks performed by the postmen

　　4.From the second paragraph, we can infer that _____

　　A. professionals won’t be affected by new technology

　　B.doctor won’t be as efficient by the postmen

　　C. computers cannot replace lawyers

　　D.experts will lose job in the future

　　5.In the writer’s view, _______.

　　A.people should get prepared for the future

　　B.there exists no real threat of unemployment

　　C.the advance of technology is not desirable

　　D.machines will have control over men

答案解析

　　1.[C] 事实细节题。只要知道第1段第2句中的关键词accelerate意为speed up“加速,加快”，就可以排除其他选项。

　　2.[B] 事实细节题。本题考査对比处。作者在第1段第5句中通过previously将过去与现在作对比,指出现在传递消息的途径与过去不一样了，由此可判断B为正确选项。本题干扰性的是选项C，第1段倒数第3句提到以 后邮递员将会消失，但这并不意味着人们不再写信和寄信，以后可能会有新的送信方式，因此选项C是不对的。

　　3.[C] 词义推断题。they所在的句子是第1段倒数第2句，本句中两个they的指代是一样的，因此，只要找到第一个they的指代就能找到答案了。根据本段倒数第3句中“Not only postmen but also clerks and secretaries will vanish”及倒数第2句中的“All the routine tasks they perform...”可推断，they是指上一句中的postmen，clerks 和secretaries 。

　　4.[B] 推理判断题。本题考査列举处。在第2段,作者列举了律师、医生、教师将会受到的新技术的影响，第3句指出医生的电子竞争者会做出更快更准的诊断,从而确定选项B说法正确，而选项A和C与原文不符，选项D言过其实，且缺乏合理的原文依据。

　　5.[A] 观点态度题。作者举出了大量实例暗示和告诫人们：正因为人类技术的发展日新月异，许多职业的存在都将受到威胁，人们应该采取积极态度以应对这种变化。选项B显然与第1段最后一句相悖;选项C无合理的推 断依据;文中虽提到新技术会在多方面影响人类,但并不能由此推断机器会控制人类,所以选项D不对。
