3、electronic products contain plastics.B.It retains its original strength through reprocessing.C.Recycled plastics can be integrated into new products.D.Plastics will lose flexibility after a certain period of time.3.According to the passage,the term“plastic sandwich“refers toA.a kind of sandwich-shap

4、ed toy made of plasticsB.a kind of plastics with different integration in each layerC.a kind of plastics with maximum strength and flexibilityD.a kind of plastics made of 100%recycled materials4.In the passage,it is implied but NOT stated t h a t.A.disposing the plastics is one of NEC Corp/s busines

5、sesB.magnesium is an ideal material for the case of TVC.21-inch TV with magnesium case isn/t very popular so farD.magnesium must be better than the plastics5.The author writes this passage in order to.A.informB.instructC.predictD.persuadel.C 推理判断题。文章首段提到了电子产品的回收利用与纸张和塑料不同;本段最后一句中的but表明了以上不同点在于电子产品的回

6、收不依靠消费者，而依靠生产者。结合以上两点，可以推断纸张和塑料的回收利用主要靠消费者，因此选项C 为正确答案。2.B事实细节题。本题考查列举处。第 2 段第3 句列举了塑料的特性，对照选项和该句，就能发现文中明确提到选项A、C、D,而选项B 显然与原文意思相反。3.B事实细节题。本题考查复合句的理解。第 2 段第4 句是一个非限制性定语从句，是 plastics sandwich的定义，选项B 是对该定语从句所述事实的总结，因此选项B正确。选 工 真 A 在文中没有提及;选项C 中的maximum是对原文sufficient的曲解;选项D 中的100%这一数据不准确，文中只提到plastics

7、 sandwich里层是100%的再生塑料。4.C推理判断题。本题考查转折处。最后一段倒数第2 句中的Unfortunately一词指出了用镁作机壳的电视机很贵，从而暗示它们并不受消费者欢迎，所以选项 C 正确。选项A 属原文明确表达的意思。本段第2 句只指出镁是一种理想的再生材料(ideal for recycling),因此选项B 不对;全文并未比较塑料和镁哪个更好，因此选项D 不对。6月大学英语四级阅读练习及答案（十）If the salinity（含盐量）of ocean waters is analyzed,it is found to vary onlyslightly from

8、place to place.Nevertheless,some of these small changes are important.There are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity.One of theseis the subtraction of water from the ocean by means of evaporation-conversion ofliquid water to water vapor.In this manner,the salinity is increas

9、ed,since the saltsstaybehind.If this is carried to the extreme,of course,white crystals of salt would beleft behind.The opposite of evaporation is precipitation（降水），such as rain,by which wateris added to the ocean.Here the ocean is being diluted（稀释）so that the salinity isdecreased.This may occur in

10、areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where riversflow into the ocean.Thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water byevaporation,or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation orrunoff（形成地表水部分的降水）.Normally,in tropical regions where the sun is very strong,the ocean

11、salinity issomewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as muchevaporation.Similarly,in coastal regions whererivers dilute the sea,salinity issomewhat lower than in other oceanic areas.A third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with the formationand m

12、elting of sea ice.When seawater is frozen,the dissolved materials are leftbehind.In this manner,seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a highersalinity than it did before the ice appeared.Of course,when this ice melts,it will tendto decrease the salinity of the surrounding water.In the

13、 Weddell Sea,off Antarctica,the densest water in the oceans is formed asa result of this freezingprocess,which increases the salinity of cold water.This heavywater sinks and is found in the deeper portions of the oceans of the world.练习题：Choose correct answers to the question:l.The best title of the

14、passage can be.A.Typical Oceans and Their Respective FeaturesB.The Causes of the Changes in Salinity of Ocean WaterC.Different Oceans Have Different SalinityD.The Precipitation and Evaporation of Oceans2.Which of the following processes will increase salinity of ocean waters?A.Evaporation.B.Precipit

15、ation.C.Melting.D.Dilution.3.According to this passage,the sea _ is likely to have the lowest salinity.A.in tropical areasB.off AntarcticaC.of high rainfallD.with abundant4.The Weddell Sea.A.is a good example of increased salinity in freezing sea waterB.is much larger in area than the Arctic oceansC

16、.has a much lower salinity now than everD.has the denser water in its upper parts5.Coastal regions are mentioned as cases w h e r e.A.sea water is less salty because fresh water joins inB.rivers carry industrial exhaust into seaC.sea ice tends to melt more quickly than in the center of oceansD.heavy

17、 water sinks to the deeper portions of the oceansl .B主旨大意题。本文第1 段第3 句是全文的主题句，告诉读者有三种原因致使海洋盐分变化并逐一介绍这三种原因，选项B 比较全面地归纳了本文的主题。选项A 和 C 中心词为oceans,不妥，选项D 只提及了前面两种原因，不全面。2.A事实细节题。只要明白第1 段第5 句中的in this manner是指第4 句中的evaporation,不难做出正确选择。选项B、C 会使含盐量减少,很容易排除。具体的反证分别出现在第2 段首句、第 3 段尾句和第4 段首句。3.C推理判断题。综合3 种情况，造

18、成海洋含盐量低的原因有：降雨多、日晒少、远离热带和海冰融化，由此可推断选项C 最符合。A 和 D 是使海水含盐量增加的，因此可排除。B 是否一定海水含盐低，文中并未提到。4.A推理判断题。选项A 是对最后一段第1 句的同义改写。同一句可知选项 C 错。选项B 根本没有提及。文章最后一句表明D 正好与事实相反。5.A 推理判断题。coastal regions字眼在文章中提到两遍，分别在第2 段第3 句及第3 段最后一句。只要能够迅速查找到任何一处均可做出正确判断为A。B和 C 无原文支持;D 张冠李戴，原文提及D 内容涉及的是Weddell Sea,而非coastalregionso6月大学英

19、语四级阅读练习及答案（二）It happens to every medical student sooner or later.You get a cough thatpersists for a while.Ordinarily,you would just ignore it-but now,armed with yourrapidly growing medical knowledge,you cant help worrying.The cough could meanjust a cold,but it could also be a sign of lung cancer.For

20、 doctors in training,nurses and medical journalists,hypochondria is anoccupational danger.The feeling usually passes after a while,leaving only a funnystory to tell at a dinner party.But for the tens ofthousands who suffer from truehypochondria they live in constant terror that they are dying of som

21、e awfuldisease,or even several awful diseases at once.Doctors can assure them that there/s nothingwrong,but since the cough is real,the assurances fall on deaf ears.And because nophysician or test can offer a 100%guarantee that one doesnt have cancer,ahypochondriac always has fuel to feed Iris.or he

22、r worst fears.Hypochondriacs dont harm just themselves;they block the whole healthcaresystem.Although they account for only about 6%of the patients who visit doctorsevery year,they tend to burden their physicians with frequent visits that take upexcessive amounts of time.And the problem may be worse

23、,thanks to the popularityof medical information on the Internet.They go on the Web and learn about newdiseases and new presentations of old diseases that they never even knew aboutbefore.Doctors have taken to calling this phenomenon cyberchondria（网络疑病症）.练习题:Choose correct answers to the question:1.A

24、ccording to the passage,if you suffer from hypochondria,A.you must be a medical student,or a medical workerB.you are haunted by a possibly inexistent diseaseC.you will never get rid of this diseaseD.you always tell funny stories at dinner parties2.Which of the following best summarizes the main idea

25、 of the passage?A.Hypochondria happens to everybody sooner or later.B.We needn/t worry about hypochondria since it is not dangerous at all.C.Hypochondria originates from too much knowledge of medicine.D.Not only individuals but also the healthcare system might be disturbed byunnecessary terrors.3.Wh

26、y cant doctors convince the suffers that there is nothing wrong?A.Because the doctors cant cure the minor diseasesB.Because the doctors dont assure them of thatC.Because the sufferers are deaf and cannot hear what the doctors say0.Because lack of absolute guarantee makes the patients doubtfulA.the i

27、ncreasing number of patientsB.the widespread medical knowledge on the InternetC.the patients,regular visits to doctors that occupy too much timeD.new diseases and symptoms emerge constantly5.What does the author most probably think about hypochondria?A.The author considers that hypochondria is an in

28、curable diseaseB.The author thinks that the consequences of hypochondria might be disastrousC.The author suggests that the patients who have hypochondria should set theirhearts at restD.The author sympathizes with the patients who suffer from hypochondrial .B事实细节题。仔细读完第2 段后半部分，不难发现hypochondria只是瞎猜疑，

29、故选项B 正确。时常怀疑自己生病是医务人员的职业病，但为此困扰的并不仅仅是他们，因为第 2 段第 3 句说：“But.who suffer from true hypochondria./,说明医务人员不是真正的疑病症患者,故选项A 不正确。选项C 过于极端。选项D是对原文断章取义。2.D 主旨大意题。第 1 段以举例方式引入主题，第 2 段对hypochondria下定义，第 3 段则论述其对医疗保健体系造成的干扰，选项D 正确全面地概括了文章大意，为正确答案。全文的中心词是hypochondria,在四个选项中，干扰项（选项 A、B、C）都出现了该词，只有正确选项（选项D）没有直接使用该词

30、。3.D 事实细节题。根据文中的because no physician or test can offer a 100%guarantee that one doesnt have cancer.”即可得出选项D 正确。原文虽有表示“咳嗽确实存在，但这并不意味着医生不能治好类似的小毛病，因此选项A 不正确。误选C 是没有正确理解短语fall on deaf ears,该固定表达的意思是 充耳不闻。4.B推理判断题。句中thanks t。是讽刺的用法，引出原因，故选项B 正确。本题考查因果关系，要辨别明显的因果关系，只要关注文中是否有because,reason,due to,thanks t

31、o,result 等词即可。6月大学英语四级阅读练习及答案（五）Long after the 1998 World Cup was won,disappointed fans were still cursing thedisputed refereeing（裁判）decisions that denied victory to their team.A researcherwas appointed to study the performance of some top referees.The researcher organized an experimental tournament

33、takes,a remarkably high number.The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail.Surprisingly,he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close tothe incident.When the officials got it right,theywere,on average,17 meters awayfrom the action.The average dist

34、ance in the case of errors wasl2 meters.Theresearch shows the optimum（的）distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed.Correct decisions came when thereferees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second.The average speedfor errors was 4 meters per second.If FIFA,footbal

35、ls international ruling body,wants to improve the standard ofrefereeing at the next World Cup,it should encourage referees to keep their eyes onthe action from a distance,rather than rushing to keep up with the ball,theresearcher argues.He also says that FIFAs insistence that referees should retire

38、ngs of the experiment show t hat.A.errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ballB.the farther the referee is from the incident,the fewer the errorsC.the more slowly the referee runs,the more likely will errors occurD.errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot4.The word“o

39、fficials”(Line 2,Para.4)most probably refers to.A.the researchers involved in the experimentB.the inspectors of the football tournamentC.the referees of the football tournamentD.the observers at the site of the experiment5.What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?A.The ideal retirem

40、ent age for an experienced football referee is 45.B.Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.C.A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.D.An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physicalcondition.l .B根据第1 段可知，球迷对裁判的裁决不满意，因此

41、A researcher wasappointed to study the performance of some top referees.一名研究员被指定对一些高级裁判的场上执法情况进行研究，再加上文中error一词步直频使用，可见，目的是分析裁判误判的原因，即 B。2.C第 3 段说“在 90分钟的标准赛中，每个裁判几乎犯23个错误，这是一个 remarkably high number”,C 与之一致。3.A 第 4 段第2 句提到，令人惊讶的是，裁判离犯规地点越近，错判的可能性就越大,A 为原文的同义表达，故选A。B 项的干扰性比较大，但由下一句可知，正确判断的平均距离是离犯规处1

42、7米。故并非越远，错判就越少，故排除Bo4.C根据第4 段 officials出现的上下文可以判断是指referees,其实这也是全文主题词.故选Co5.B最后一段提到，如果紧跟着球员跑来跑去显得不那么重要的话，栽判的身体状况也就不那么关键了。所以它的含义应为B在选择足球裁判时，年龄并不是首要考虑的因素。6月大学英语四级阅读练习及答案（八）Questions 36-45 are based on the following passage.Years ago,doctors often said that pain was a normal part of life.In particular
