1、星火：2008 年 12 月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀理解預(yù)測(cè)Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words

2、 on Answer Sheet 2.Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.Swiss Re Tower is a typical example of green architecture in London, and what is most remarkable about this building is its energy efficiency. Thanks to its artful design and some fancy technology, it is expected to consume up

3、to 50% less energy than a comparable conventional office building. Green architecture is changing the way building are designed, built and run.Green architecture, a term which only came into use in the 1990s, has its origins in the energy crisis of the 1970s, when architects began to question the wi

4、sdom of building enclosed glass and steel boxes that required massive heating and cooling systems.The forward looking architects began to explore designs that focused on the long term environmental impact of maintaining and operating a building. This approach has since been formalized in a number of

5、 assessment and rating systems, such as the BREEAM standard introduced in Britain in 1990, and the LEED standard developed by the United States Green Building Council starting in 2000.Going green saves money by reducing long term energy costs; a survey of 99 green buildings in America found that on

6、average, they use 30% less energy than comparably conventional buildings.Green buildings can also have other benefits. The use of natural daylight in office buildings, for example, as well as reducing energy costs, also seems to make workers more productive. Lockheed Martin, an aerospace（航空宇宙 ） firm

7、,found that absenteeism（ 曠工） fell by 15% after it moved 2 500 employees into a new green building in Sunnyvale, California.47. Owing to its delicate design and advanced technology, Swiss Re Tower in London uses less energy than those traditional office buildings by .48. Green architecture could date

8、 back to .49. Today, when assessing and rating architecture, the long term environmental effect in the maintenance of the building has been .50. Green architectures can reduce expenditure on the maintenance by .51. Besides the benefit of saving money, green buildings can also bring .Section BDirecti

9、ons: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B) , C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the ce

10、ntre.Passage OneQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.Television is often viewed as an anti intellectual medium. But truly clever people know how to use even themost unpromising material, and that is what Val Curtis and her colleagues at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medi

11、cine have done. They employed the mass market appeal of TV to test a long held, but unproven, hypothesis（假設(shè)）: thatthe emotion of disgust evolved to protect people from disease.They set up their experiment in October 2007, by publicizing it on a BBC program called Human Instincts. Viewers were invite

12、d to visit a website and, after giving a few biographical（ 個(gè)人介紹的 ）details, to view a series of 20 pictures and rate each of them for disgustingness on a scale of one to five. They were also asked to choose, from a list of possible candidates, with whom they would least like to share a toothbrush.The

13、 results showed that in all seven pairs, the disease distinct pictures were more disgusting than their counterparts. For things like the apparent depiction of bodily fluids, or of a face that had been enhanced with spots, that may come as no surprise. But a crowded railway carriage was more distingu

14、ishing than an empty one, and a louse more disgusting than a wasp.These last results confirmed Dr Curtiss suspicion that disgust is not, as many disgust researchers believe, just a way of avoiding eating disease bearing materials. Rather, it extends to threats that might be contagious( 傳染性的 ). Indee

15、d, one result of the study was to show that the young are easier to disgust than the old. Another result was that women are more easily disgusted than men. Both of these make evolutionary sense. The young have more reproductive potential than the old, so should be more careful about what they touch

16、and eat. And women are usually burdened with bringing up the children, so have to be disgusted on their offsprings behalf, as well as their own.The results of the toothbrush study made similar sense. Strangers are more likely to carry new bacteria than acquaintances. Hence, of the available choices

17、of toothbrush partner, a postman came off worst, and a lover best. A brush notionally belonging to a weatherman was, however, preferred to the bosss. Clearly the British feel more intimacy with the former than the later. Perhaps it might have been instructive to include a famous television personali

18、ty among the choices?52. In the first paragraph television is mentioned to .A) prove that what some intellectuals had claimed iswrongB) show that TV is an essential part of British peoplesdaily lifeC) demonstrate that mass media is a very profitableindustryD) introduce the media through which the su

19、rvey was advertised53. The experiment is chiefly done by .A) watching the TV program called Human Instincts and filling out feedback formsB) visiting different websites and making matches between pictures and numbersC) rating various photos with numbers and selecting from a choice listD) filling in

20、biographical details and choosing a toothbrush54. Which of the following is true about the result of the experiment?A) A spotted face is more disgusting than a picture of bodily fluids.B) A full packed subway is more disgusting than a louse.C) A bleeding face is the most disgusting one.D) A wasp mak

21、es people feel better than a louse.55. The results of the experiment make evolutionary sense in that .A) old people are less likely to produce goods for the society than the youngB) peoples emotion of disgust is often related to the safety of their childrenC) women are more likely to bring up childr

22、en independent of mens helpD) old people are more likely to be disgusted than women56. The results of the toothbrush experiment show that .A) a boss is normally less clean and healthy than a weathermanB) a postman is often dirtier than a loverC) a public figure is often more popular than a boss in B

23、ritainD) a famous television personality is the best toothbrush partnerPassage TwoQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.When it comes to health, the poor are doubly cursed.Not only are they more prone to deadly infectious diseases than the rich, but they have far less access to the m

24、eans of improvement. Twenty years ago, Paul Farmer, an American doctor and anthropologist（ 人類學(xué)者 ）, set out to do something about this. Amid the political turmoil（混舌 L ）and poverty of ruralHaiti, he created a community based health care system called Zanmi Lasante, or Partners in Health. It not only

25、delivers appropriate, affordable medical treatment to thousands of poor people, but goes beyond the clinic to address the social causes making them sick and keeping them from gettingbetter.As Dr. Farmer argues, improving the health of the poor is not just a medical challenge, but a question of human

26、 rights. Tackling the inequality, racism, sexism and other forms of structural violence which oppress the poor is as critical as extending the drugs. Or as his Haiti patients put it, medicine without food is like washing ones hands and drying them in the dirt.Unfortunately, Dr. Farmers powerful mess

27、age is often weakened by his books academic tone. It does, however, scream out in passages describing the human face ofstructural violence. It is these personal stories that make Dr. Farmers anger at such stupid deaths so compelling.The good doctors motives and methods are better described in Mounta

28、ins Beyond Mountains. This biography by Tracy Kidder traces Dr. Farmer from his unconventional upbringing and unusual education, shuttling （來(lái)回穿梭于 ）between the shacks of central Haiti and the halls of Harvard Medical School, to his later work around the world. Though well written, Mr. Kidders book al

29、so makes for uncomfortable reading. The author is clearly close to his subject, having traveled with Dr. Farmer from the green poverty of Haiti to the tubercular whiteness of Russia. Too close, perhaps. The biographer seems to be seeking his subjects approval, rather than the other way round. Mr. Ki

30、dder writes, rather disturbingly, about his fear of disappointing Dr. Farmer, his own pain at wounding him with a critical remark and his relief at the doctors forgiveness.When Mr. Kidders health falls, this dependence becomes all the more intense. But rather than compromise the books equity（ 公正 ）,

31、this intimacy serves to highlight Dr. Farmers admirable, yet ultimately irritating, character. As Mr. Kidder observes, Farmer wasnt put on earth to make anyone feel comfortable, except those lucky enough to be his patients or those unlucky enough to need him.57. What makes the Partners in Health sys

32、tem unique compared with traditional hospitals?A) It makes attempts to help the poor on a social level.B) It is aimed at treating poor people for free.C) It is designed to help the poor rise from poverty.D) It offers community help to those who are poor.58. What can be inferred from the last sentenc

33、e of the second paragraph?A) Hands should not be dried in the dirt after washing.B) Medicine is also needed for cleaning hands.C) Medicine is not a long term cure to their poor health.D) Food can cure their disease better than any medicine.59. The disadvantage of Dr. Farmers book seems to be that.A)

34、 the plots in the book are not attractive enoughB) the way he tells the stories is not compellingenoughC) the anger he expresses at stupid deaths is toostrongD) the tone is not strong enough to arouse peoples attention60. Mr. Kidders book also makes for uncomfortable reading because .A) Mr. Kidder h

35、imself has never been involved in Dr. Farmers lifeB) Mr. Kidder is afraid of making true comments on Dr. FarmerC) Mr. Kidders emotions prevent him from independent writingD) Mr. Kidder is always waiting for Dr. Farmers forgiveness61. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A) Dr. Farmer onl

36、y helped those who are lucky enoughB) Dr. Farmer may have severely criticized the societyC) Dr. Farmer was not actually making his patients comfortableD) Dr. Farmers job is not to make people comfortablePart IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) Section A隨著全球能源緊張和環(huán)境污染日益嚴(yán)重，綠色建筑逐漸成為 全世界共同關(guān)注的話題。其

37、特點(diǎn)為減少能源和資源消耗，并盡可能采 用新技術(shù)和新材料。47. nearly 50%定位 根據(jù)題干中的 Swiss Re Tower 可以定位到第一段第二 句： Thanks to its artful design and some fancy technology, it is expected to consume up to 50% less energy than a comparable conventional office building.精解 題目問(wèn)的是得益于其精良的設(shè)計(jì)、先進(jìn)的技術(shù)， Swiss Re Tower 比傳統(tǒng)辦公大樓能節(jié)省多少能源。該句意為 由于其設(shè)計(jì)精 良，

38、技術(shù)先進(jìn)， Swiss Re Tower 有望比傳統(tǒng)建筑節(jié)能近 50% 。題干 中的 owing to 與原文中 thanks to 的同義， traditional 與 conventional 同義。 by 在此句中為介詞，表程度相差多少的意思， 后面應(yīng)接數(shù)字。故答案為 nearly 50% 。48. the energy crisis of the 1970s定位 根據(jù)題干中的 green architecture 可以定位到第二段 Green architecture, .has its origins in the energy crisis of the 1970s精解 由該段可知

39、：綠色建筑的來(lái)源要追溯到 20 世紀(jì) 70 年 代的能源危機(jī)。 題目中的 could date back to 是對(duì) has its origins in the energy crisis of the 1970s 的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，故答案為 the energy crisis of the 1970s 。49. widely taken into consideration in the developedworld定位根據(jù)題干中提到的assessing and rating可以定位到第三段第二句： This approach has si nee bee n formalized in a n

40、u mber of assessme nt and rat ing systems, such as the BREEAM sta ndard in troduced in Brita in in 1990, and the LEED sta ndard developed by the Un ited States Gree n Buildi ng Coun cil start ing in 2000.精解本題考查在一系列建筑評(píng)估體系中，建筑的維修和保 養(yǎng)對(duì)環(huán)境的長(zhǎng)期影響也在評(píng)估之列。根據(jù)This approach has sincebee n formalized in a nu mber

41、 of assessme nt and rat ing systems 可知，這一原則已被成文化，而且下文舉例提到了英國(guó)的 BREEAM和 美國(guó)的LEED standard，據(jù)此可知，這一規(guī)則已被發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家引起重視。 空格處缺少謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，且位于 has been之后，故答案應(yīng)為 widely take n into con siderati on in the developed world。50. cutt ing long term en ergy costs定位由題干中的green, reduce 將答案定位到原文第四段第一句： Going green saves money by red

42、ucing longtermen ergy costs;.精解題目問(wèn)的是綠色建筑怎樣降低了成本。題干中的reduce expenditure是對(duì) saves money 的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，by 在句中作原因狀語(yǔ)，后應(yīng)接動(dòng)詞的現(xiàn)在分詞形式，即cutt ing long termenergy costs 。51. economic benefits定位 根據(jù) benefit 可以定位到第五段第二句： The use of natural daylight in office buildings, for example, as well as reducing energy costs, also se

43、ems to make workers more productive.精解題目問(wèn)的是除了節(jié)省成本，綠色建筑還有哪些優(yōu)勢(shì)。 根據(jù)下面提到的 make workers more productive可知，它還可以為企業(yè)帶來(lái)經(jīng)濟(jì)效益，故答案為 economic benefitsSection BPassage One(52) 電視通常被認(rèn)為是不利于智力的媒介。但是真正聰明的 人知道怎樣利用最沒(méi)有價(jià)值的東西，而這就是在倫敦衛(wèi)生和熱帶醫(yī)藥 學(xué)校的 Val Curtis 和她的同事們所做的事。 (52)她們借助具有大眾市 場(chǎng)吸引力的電視來(lái)測(cè)試一個(gè)提出已久卻沒(méi)有被證實(shí)的假設(shè)：惡心的感 覺(jué)是人們?yōu)榱祟A(yù)防疾病

45、is大夫的懷疑，即惡心不像很多 研究惡心的學(xué)者認(rèn)為的只是一種避免吃帶有疾病的物質(zhì)的方式。其實(shí),惡心可以延伸到可能造成傳染的威脅上。實(shí)際上，該研究的一個(gè)結(jié)果 證實(shí)了年輕人比老年人更容易惡心。另外一個(gè)結(jié)果是女性比男性更容 易惡心。這兩點(diǎn)都有著進(jìn)化方面的意義。(55)年輕人比老年人更具有 繁殖能力，所以應(yīng)該更注意他們接觸什么和吃些什么。而婦女通常是 負(fù)有養(yǎng)育孩子的擔(dān)子，所以也必須為了后代和自身的利益去惡心。牙刷試驗(yàn)的結(jié)果也有同樣的道理。陌生人比熟人更容易攜帶 新的病菌。因此，在與之共用牙刷的可選擇項(xiàng)中，郵遞員是最令人惡 心的，而愛(ài)人則是最不令人惡心的。然而人們好像寧肯和天氣預(yù)報(bào)員 共用牙刷也不愿意和

53、作 Zanmi Lasante 或健康之友 。它不僅 給數(shù)以千計(jì)的窮人提供適當(dāng)?shù)目梢灾Ц兜闷鸬闹委煟?(57)而且還越過(guò) 醫(yī)療層面，想要解決讓窮人得病或很難康復(fù)的社會(huì)原因。正如 Farmer 大夫所說(shuō)，改善窮人的健康不是單純的醫(yī)學(xué)挑 戰(zhàn)，而是人權(quán)問(wèn)題。它與不平等、種族主義、性別歧視和其他形式的 結(jié)構(gòu)型暴力 等壓迫窮人的現(xiàn)象作斗爭(zhēng)和發(fā)放藥品一樣緊迫。 或者就像 他的海地病人的描述， (58) 提供了藥品而沒(méi)有食品， 就像洗完了手 在灰塵中晾干 。(59)遺憾的是，F(xiàn)armer大夫的強(qiáng)有力的信息通常被他所寫的 書中的學(xué)術(shù)口吻給減弱了。 然而該書確實(shí)在一些描寫人類面臨 結(jié)構(gòu)型 暴力的篇章中高聲吶喊。

54、但是還是那些他親身經(jīng)歷的故事讓他對(duì)愚蠢的死亡 的憤怒表達(dá)得鏗鏘有力。這位善良的醫(yī)生的動(dòng)機(jī)和方法在山外有山一書中得到了 更好的描述。這本由 Tracy Kidder 撰寫的傳記，追溯了 Farmer 大 夫非同尋常的成長(zhǎng)和教育背景，文字穿梭于海地中部的棚屋、哈佛大 學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)院的禮堂和他后來(lái)在全世界所做的工作之間。盡管寫得不錯(cuò)， 但是 Kidder 先生的書讀起來(lái)并不舒服。作者本人很明顯和他所寫的 人物關(guān)系緊密，他和 Farmer 大夫一起到過(guò)溫暖而貧困的海地，也到 過(guò)寒冷而易得結(jié)核病的俄羅斯。 (60)可能是因?yàn)殛P(guān)系太親密了，作者 好像一直在尋求被描寫對(duì)象的贊同。他非?？鄲赖孛枋隽怂ε伦?Far

55、mer 大夫失望的恐懼和用批評(píng)的字眼傷害大夫的痛苦，以及對(duì)大 夫的諒解所感到的欣慰。當(dāng) Kidder 先生的健康每況愈下時(shí)，對(duì)大夫的這種依賴性就 更加嚴(yán)重。但是，這不但沒(méi)有使這本書有失公正，這種親密倒突出了 Farmer 大夫那令人欽佩而又令人憤怒的性格。 正如 Kidder 先生所寫：(61)Farmer 不是到這個(gè)世界上讓任何人都感到舒適的，除了那些幸 運(yùn)地成為他的病人的人，或者那些完全不幸地需要他的人。 57.
