1、大学英语四级分类模拟题 467 及答案解析(总分：248.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Part Writing(总题数：1，分数：106.50)1. （分数：106.50）_二、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology (意识形态) that biology is destiny (命运). According to the ideology, basic biological and psyc
2、hological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life. Women are the weaker sexboth physically and emotionally. Thus, they are naturally suited much more so than men, to the performance of domestic duties. A woman“s place, under norm
3、al circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home. Nature has determined that women play care-taker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker. On the other hand men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be t
4、aken on. Men are to be the providers; women and children are “dependents“. The idea also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex. It is thus appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as
5、nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, household helpers, and clerks and secretaries. These positions are simply an extension of women“s domestic role. Informal distinctions between “women“s work“ and “men“s work“ in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional re
6、flection of the basic differences between the sexes. Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce. Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of
7、their physical appearance. So goes the ideology. It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life. There is much evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences that
8、 do exist are largely learned. But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society, sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.（分数：20.00）(1).“Biology is destiny“ in the first sentence means
9、that _.（分数：4.00）A.biological differences determine sex rolesB.one“s sex is determined before his/her birthC.human cannot control their own fateD.human beings can“t change their sex(2).Jobs such as nursing and teaching are considered suitable for women because _.（分数：4.00）A.women are physically and em

11、een the sexesB.men and women can make different contributions to societyC.men and women must survive in cooperationD.men and women acquire them from their cultures(4).Which of the following can sum up the main idea of the whole passage?（分数：4.00）A.Is Biology Destiny?B.An Important Ideology.C.Differen
12、ces between the Sexes.D.Sex Roles.(5).The author looks at sex-defined roles with _.（分数：4.00）A.enthusiastic approvalB.partial acceptanceC.strong disagreementD.bitter criticism五、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：15.00)In The Birth Order Book: Why You Are the Way You Are, Dr. Kevin Leman notes that 21 of the first
13、23 Americans in space were first-born males or only children. More than half of United States presidents have been first-borns or first-born boys. It“s a pretty significant finding historically, because families used to be bigger than they are today. In addition, older children generally have higher
14、 IQs and achievements than younger ones. Researchers have noted that the more kids a family has, the lower each child“s individual IQ tends to be. They give a few reasons for this. Parents only have so much time, attention, and money. The more kids they have, the more these things are divided. First
15、-borns initially get the entire parental time. What“s more, the ratio of grown-ups to kids decreases with each new baby. So the younger ones are surrounded by more children“s language on average than the older kids. Some researchers think parental attention is the key to personality birth-order diff
16、erences. In his book Born to Rebel, psychologist Frank Sulloway says competition for Mom and Dad“s attention is the thing that really shapes our personalities and, in fact has shaped history. He argues that we adapt our personalities as part of our strategy to seek favor from Morn and Dad. Younger s
17、iblings (兄弟姐妹) tend to become rebels. Sulloway studied political activists and found that later-born activists were more radical than their first-born peers. The conclusion of his book is that sibling competition for parental attention can affect society as a whole in times of revolution. Thomas Jef
18、ferson, Karl Marx, and Fidel Castro were all younger siblings, for example. As compelling as this all is, it“s also something we should probably take with caution. There are other things that happen to us in life besides the addition of siblings to our families. A parent can die; a hurricane can lea
19、ve us homeless; we can catch a life-threatening disease. Any one of these things will probably have more of an effect on our personalities than the presence of siblings. A 2002 study bore this out. After interviewing 535 undergraduates, researchers concluded that personality differences related to b
20、irth order were “folklore“, although IQ and achievement differences were widely supported by research.（分数：15.00）(1).What do we learn from the third paragraph?（分数：3.00）A.Younger children need parental attention rather than siblings“.B.Younger children“s language mostly is taught by the older ones.C.Y
21、ounger children feel uncomfortable with more siblings.D.Younger children have less chance to talk with their parents.(2).What statements will Frank Sulloway agree with?（分数：3.00）A.Competition for parental attention is the key to one“s personality formation.B.People“s personalities are the critical fa

26、 （分数：106.50）_大学英语四级分类模拟题 467 答案解析(总分：248.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Part Writing(总题数：1，分数：106.50)1. （分数：106.50）_正确答案：()解析：Internet and the Distance among PeopleAs we can see from the picture, Internet connects the human society together, but sadly, walls of barrier are restricting people in their own space. It
27、 is undeniable that Internet has changed the way people live. With many programs such as instant messaging, online communities, micro-blogs and so forth, communication can nearly be carded out everywhere at any time. But despite the great convenience, we find the distance among people becomes farthe
28、r, instead of nearer. We play online games and forget to call the family; we sit alone surfing the net with mobile phones when classmates are gathering together; children today often play with the tablet computers , rather than with other kids from the neighborhood. In my view, we should use the Int
29、ernet reasonably, and keep in mind that the real life is much more meaningful than the virtual one. To be closer to other people, we should talk with them, using our voice, instead of finger tips. And we should pass this idea on to the younger generation.二、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、Passage
30、One(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology (意识形态) that biology is destiny (命运). According to the ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life. Women are th

But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and
37、women to make different contributions to society, sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.（分数：20.00）(1).“Biology is destiny“ in the first sentence means that _.（分数：4.00）A.biological differences determine sex roles B.one“s sex is determined before his/her birthC.human cannot control thei
38、r own fateD.human beings can“t change their sex解析：解析 词义推断题。根据第 1 句可知，这个说法应与本句开头的 sex prejudices 相关，另外，第2,3 句是对“biology is destiny”这种意识形态的解释，对比四个选项，只有选项 A 是与“胜别偏见”有关的，因此是正确答案。(2).Jobs such as nursing and teaching are considered suitable for women because _.（分数：4.00）A.women are physically and emotiona
39、lly weakerB.men are not suited for such jobsC.such jobs grow out of their position in the home D.distinctions are made between “women“s work“ and “men“s work“解析：解析 事实细节题。根据第 2 段第 3 句，可知选项 C 是本句说法的近义替换。本题最具干扰性的是选项 A，该选项出现在第 1 段，用于解释为何女性更适合承担家庭内的责任，因此，它并不是针对本题的直接原因，故不能选。(3).The author most probably be
40、lieves role differences exist because _.（分数：4.00）A.there are biological and psychological differences between the sexesB.men and women can make different contributions to societyC.men and women must survive in cooperationD.men and women acquire them from their cultures 解析：解析 推理判断题。根据第 3 段结尾句可以推断出答案。
41、选项 A 并非是作者的观点，选项 B 颠倒了因果关系，选项 C 虽然是事实但并非此问题的原因。(4).Which of the following can sum up the main idea of the whole passage?（分数：4.00）A.Is Biology Destiny?B.An Important Ideology.C.Differences between the Sexes.D.Sex Roles. 解析：解析 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文讨论了男女两种性别的不同社会角色。本题最具干扰性的是选项 A，事实上，作者并没有对“biology is destiny
42、(生理决定命运)”这一观点提出质疑，只是客观地陈述这一观点，故选项 A 不对。选项 B 不够准确，意义太模糊，选项 C 只是本文讨论的一部分。(5).The author looks at sex-defined roles with _.（分数：4.00）A.enthusiastic approvalB.partial acceptance C.strong disagreementD.bitter criticism解析：解析 观点态度题。文章第 3 段倒数第 2 句是一个以 It 引导的主语从句，虽然这句话表明 sex-defined roles 这种观点不正确，但最后一段却表明作者在某
43、种程度上接受这种说法，对照这两方面的态度，可见作者对 sex-defined roles 既不完全赞成，也不完全反对，由此可推断 B 为正确选项。五、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：15.00)In The Birth Order Book: Why You Are the Way You Are, Dr. Kevin Leman notes that 21 of the first 23 Americans in space were first-born males or only children.
