1、2013 年四川大学英语专业(基础英语)真题试卷及答案解析(总分:80.00,做题时间:90 分钟)一、完形填空(总题数:1,分数:40.00)Many people imagine that Alzheimer“s disease, the degenerative disorder that ultimately leaves sufferers with total memory loss, is an inevitable result of aging. This is not so. 【C1】_the risks of contracting the disease increas
2、e with age, there are many elderly people【C2】_memories are perfect. Most of us are so ill-【C3】_about all forms of memory loss that we label everything “Alzheimer“s“. Alzheimer“s disease itself can【C4】_people as young as 30 and can progress either quickly or slowly. It can also【C5】_the blame for othe
3、r non-degenerative conditions such as deep depression. 【C6】_, only an examination of the brain tissue during all autopsy can produce an accurate【C7】_of the disease. The causes of Alzheimer“s are unknown. They may be either【C8】_or environmental. A study in 1996 of 13, 000 people whose parents or sibl
4、ings had the disease showed they had five times【C9】_chance of succumbing【C10】_the age of 80 than those with no family【C11】_of the problem. There are other factors, however. In a study of identical twins, it was found that only about half of the twin pairs developed Alzheimer“s and, when both twins【C
5、12】_it, they did so as【C13】_as 15 years apart. The possibility【C14】_environment plays a part was【C15】_by another 1996 study, this time of two groups of elderly Japanese men.

12、sting and was written in the same style. Olga wasn“t sure, however, whether she should spend part of her savings on Kwan“s latest book, The Newcomer. She hoped the following book reviews in her high school newspaper would help her make a decision. Novel Without a Plot By Carlo Dante I just finished
13、reading Adele Kwan“s latest novel, The Newcomer, and was disappointed. In my opinion the book does not have enough plot to be considered a novel. The newcomer in this book is Violet Wang. She“s fifteen when her family moves from San Francisco“s Chinatown to a small town in Washington State. In this
14、town everyone knows each other, and none of the other residents are Chinese. Violet“s challenge is to fit in. Sensitive and intelligent, she amuses those who know her well but is shy and reserved with strangers. These circumstances could have provided the basis for an interesting story. I particular
15、ly enjoyed learning about Chinese American culture and Violet“s strong family ties. However, this book has no real plot. There is no action to follow. Instead the author emphasizes what is happening in Violet“s head as she finds her way in her new home. We are introduced to new characters and situat
16、ions only as they are viewed by the introspective Violet. When she arrives at her new school, for example, the reader is forced to endure page after page describing Violet“s classrooms, classmates, and teachers, with no excitement to keep us involved in the story. If this had been a historical novel
17、, at least the text could have elucidated what life was like during a past era. If it had been a mystery, I would have had a reason to move from one page to the next. Furthermore, Violet would have had a more intriguing way to demonstrate her intelligence and sensitivity. As it is, I found The Newco
18、mer uninteresting. The lack of plot and the reliance on a single character to support the entire book make for a dull, slow-moving reading experience. Although Ms. Kwan writes well, she has failed to presser a story worth reading. A Book to Cherish By Rachel Blythe In last week“s edition I read “Nov
19、el Without a Plot“ , an unflattering review of Adele Kwan“s latest novel, I too, have read The Newcomer, and I strongly disagree with. Carlo Dante“s evaluation of this fine novel. Dante claims The Newcomer lacks a plot. He fails to recognize that some novels are plot-driven and others are character-
20、centered. Clearly Dante prefers to read the former and feels justified in imposing his preference on all of us. There are many readers who do not require a story to propel us feverishly from one action-packed moment to the next. We are content to get to know an interesting character who encounter ch
21、allenges and tries various ways to overcome them. Violet Wang is a wonderful example of this type of character, and we are fortunate that the novel is told from her point of view. We first experience her world in San Francisco, where she is surrounded by Chinese American traditions and the support o
22、f an extended family. We feel her confusion and traumatic sense of loss as she must leave all that is familiar to her. When Violet arrives in the area that will be her new home, we see its beauty and mystery through her eyes. As she tries to adjust to life in a place where she feels like an outsider
23、, many of us may remember similar times in our own lives. We ache when she hurts and feel triumph in our hearts when she experiences progress. I won“t tell you why. Violet has had to make such a drastic life change or how she comes to terms with it. Unlike Dante, I think that most readers would grea
24、tly enjoy this book. In these times of action-adventure movies and computer games, many have lost the patience to be readers, thinkers, and emotional beings. I think that someone who fails to see the value in this book is missing out on a lot.(分数:10.00)(1).When Olga read Rachel Blythe“s review, she
