英語四級仔細閱讀試題(一)

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

　　"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--taxidrivers thinkthe rate for waiting time is too low--but I think he wanted me to learn that even abank robber can't expect unconditional support.

　　英語四級仔細閱讀試題答案

　　1.[A] 推理判斷題。從第2段最后一句的only response可以看出這個司機只問了一個與殺人這件事無關的問題，由此可見，司機對此事毫不關心，態度冷淡。

　　2.[D] 推理判斷題。本題的關鍵在于了解在美國，髙聳的大橋通常是人們自殺的場所。根據這個背景知識，以及第3段中司機說的relax和Don’t worry可推斷出司機以為作者要到華盛頓橋去自殺。

　　3.[B] 事實細節題。本題考查對復雜句的理解。答案可以在文章的最后一句話中找到，破折號后面but引出的轉折句才是作者對司機不愿等人的理解。A是一般出租車司機的想法，由may可知作者并不確定那個司機是否有此考慮,A不對;C和D都無原文依據。

　　4.[C] 推理判斷題。答案可從第3段第1句話中找到,C是該句的同義替換。A中的do whatever you want to過于絕對;B不符合邏輯，因為司機不可能先問乘客是否要自殺才決定要不要載這個乘客;巴基斯坦司機的例子表明司機不都是只為了錢，因此D不正確。

　　5.[C] 主旨大意題。文章開篇第1句話就是整篇文章的主題句，接下來的各段內容都是圍繞此主題展開的，C與之意思相符，故選C。本題最具干擾性的是D,事實上，該選項中的troublesome意為“煩人的”，而不是"陷人麻煩的”，因此不能用該詞形容文中的乘客，故排除D。

　　英語四級仔細閱讀試題(二)

　　Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see onTV —if they everget home in time. There are similarities, of course, but the cops don't thinkmuch of them.

　　The first difference is that a policeman's real life revolves round the law. Most of his training isin criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can beused to prove them in court. He has to know as a professional lawyer, and what is more, hehas to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down an alley after someone he wantsto talk to.

　　Little of his time is spent in chatting to scantily-clad (穿衣不多的) ladies or in dramaticconfrontationswith desperate criminals. He will spend most of his working life typing millions ofwords on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty —ornot —of stupid, petty crimes.

　　Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he's arrested, the story isover. i real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases likemurders and terrorist attacks — where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of thepolice —little effortis spent on searching.

　　Having made an arrest, a detective really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court andto do thathe often has to gather a lot of different evidence. So, as well as being overworked, adetective has to beout at all hours of the day and night interviewing his witnesses andpersuade them usually against their own best interests, to help him.

　　1.The first sentence implies that ________.

　　A.the life of the real policemen and that of the policemen on TV are entirely different

　　B.the real policemen will find the similarities if they can get home in time

　　C.the real policemen seldom can get home in time to watch TV

　　D.the policemen shown on TV can always get home in time

　　2.It is essential for a policeman to be trained in criminal law _____.

　　A.so that he can catch criminals in the streets

　　B.because many of the criminals he has to catch are dangerous

　　C.so that he can justify his arrests in court

　　D.because he has to know nearly as much about law as a professional lawyer

　　3.The everyday life of a policeman or detective is ______.

　　A.exciting and glamorous

　　B. full of danger

　　C.devoted mostly to routine matters

　　D. wasted on unimportant matters

　　4.When murders and terrorist attacks occur,the police______.

　　A.prefer to wait for the criminal to give himself away

　　B.make great efforts to try to track down their man

　　C.The Real Life of a Policeman

　　D.Drama and Reality

　　英語四級仔細閱讀試題答案

　　1.[C] 推理判斷題。本題考查對第1句的理解。if引出的條件狀語從句前的破折號表明這個假設是相對于之前的看電視來說的，而不是相對于整句話的。該句特意用if作補充說明，暗示了一些附加的信息：真實生活中的警察通常很晚回家，連看電視都趕不上。由此可見,C是正確的理解。A說法過于絕對，與原文的hardly不符。

　　2.[C] 推理判斷題。本題考查內在的因果關系。從第2段第3句可以推斷出答案,A毫無原文依據，原文中也并沒有暗示B和D這兩種因果關系。

　　3.[C] 推理判斷題。本題考查對長句的理解。根據第3段第2句可以推斷出答案。本題最具干擾性的是B，按照常識,警察的工作通常都被認為很危險，但是第3段第1句由Little引出的倒裝句表明了他們很少與亡命之徒交鋒，并非充滿危險，因此B不對;而D將在文中用來修飾people的unimportant拿來修飾“事情”,顯然偷換概念，曲解原文。

　　4.[B] 推理判斷題。本題考查對復合句的理解。答題關鍵在于正確理解第4段最后一句，except引出的句子暗示警方只有在遇到特別嚴重的犯罪時追捕罪犯才會花費很大的氣力，B符合文意。本題最具干擾性的是C,由本句第2個破折號后的內容可知此處主要強調“費不費勁”的問題，而C中的make a quick airest并未突顯出原文的關鍵含義，不如B準確。

　　5.[C] 主旨大意題。本文的重點是說瞀察們的現實生活，全文將這種現實生活與電視里面展現的作比較,是為澄清事實，故C可概括全文主題。
