新題型：英語(yǔ)四級(jí)真題及詳解精講版(2006年6月)

　　Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　22. A) She’s worried about the seminar. A) 她在為研討會(huì)擔(dān)心。

　　B) The man keeps interrupting her. B) 男士總打擾她。

　　C) She finds it too hard. C) 她覺(jué)得太難。

　　D) She lacks interest in it. D) 她對(duì)書(shū)不感興趣。

　　【解題核心】本題為原因推斷題。由選項(xiàng)中的seminar及其course, major等詞可推測(cè)本題中it應(yīng)該與某一課程有關(guān)。B選項(xiàng)與其他三項(xiàng)明顯不同，可初步排除。

　　【正確項(xiàng)分析】男士用否定疑問(wèn)句問(wèn)及女士是否對(duì)書(shū)不感興趣時(shí)，女士坦白地講到“No, not really.”即“不感興趣”。與選項(xiàng)D一致。

　　【干擾項(xiàng)分析】原文雖提及seminar，但意在表示若不是為了研討會(huì)，她不會(huì)看書(shū)的。與選項(xiàng)A不符。選項(xiàng)B、C可能是原因，但文中并沒(méi)有表明，主要原因應(yīng)為缺乏興趣。

　　23. A) The lecturers are boring. A) 講座太枯燥。

　　B) The course is poorly designed. B) 課程設(shè)置不好。

　　C) She prefers Philosophy to English. C) 比起英語(yǔ)她更喜歡哲學(xué)。

　　D) She enjoys literature more. D) 她更喜歡文學(xué)。

　　【解題核心】選項(xiàng)中boring，poorly designed與prefer，enjoy表明本題很可能是關(guān)于卡倫對(duì)該課程缺乏興趣的原因有關(guān)。問(wèn)題應(yīng)該是卡倫主觀方面的原因引起的。因此本題的答案應(yīng)主要在選項(xiàng)C和選項(xiàng)D之間選擇，重點(diǎn)辨別卡倫是更喜歡philosophy還是更喜歡literature。

　　【正確項(xiàng)分析】聽(tīng)力原文中，女士明確提到“I want to do philosophy rather than English”，與選項(xiàng)C相符。

　　【干擾項(xiàng)分析】聽(tīng)力原文中提到course與lecture，但選項(xiàng)A、B與原文都不符合。選項(xiàng)C和選項(xiàng)D存在矛盾關(guān)系，即語(yǔ)義上互相矛盾，兩者不能同時(shí)為真命題。選項(xiàng)C正確，則選項(xiàng)D排除。此外，文中并沒(méi)有提及文學(xué)，也可排除選項(xiàng)D。

　　24. A) Karen’s friend. A) 卡倫的朋友。

　　B) Karen’s parents. B) 卡倫的父母。

　　C) Karen’s lecturers. C) 卡倫的老師。

　　D) Karen’s herself. D) 卡倫自己。

　　【解題核心】當(dāng)選項(xiàng)是人、名詞短語(yǔ)、時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)等非句子結(jié)構(gòu)時(shí)，應(yīng)該邊聽(tīng)邊記與各選項(xiàng)有關(guān)的信息。選項(xiàng)均為人物角色表明本題是針對(duì)“who”進(jìn)行提問(wèn)。聯(lián)系對(duì)話(huà)主題，本題很可能與影響卡倫對(duì)課程或?qū)�業(yè)的喜好或選擇的人有關(guān)。聽(tīng)音時(shí)注意辨認(rèn)選項(xiàng)中的關(guān)鍵詞。

　　【正確項(xiàng)分析】卡倫最后一番話(huà)是在評(píng)論自己的父母，其中她提到他們認(rèn)為她如果學(xué)哲學(xué)的話(huà)“job prospects”會(huì)比較“l(fā)imited”，這與題干中的“l(fā)imited opportunity”相符。

　　25. A) Changing her major. A) 換專(zhuān)業(yè)。

　　B) Spending less of her parents’ money. B) 少花父母的錢(qián)。

　　C) Getting transferred to the English Department. C) 轉(zhuǎn)到英語(yǔ)系。

　　D) Leaving the university. D) 退學(xué)。

　　【解題核心】選項(xiàng)均為現(xiàn)在分詞表明本題為考查“行為活動(dòng)”類(lèi)型。B選項(xiàng)與對(duì)其他選項(xiàng)均無(wú)關(guān)系，故可初步排除。D選項(xiàng)是說(shuō)要退出大學(xué)，而根據(jù)對(duì)主題的分析，對(duì)話(huà)主要涉及的是專(zhuān)業(yè)問(wèn)題，沒(méi)有提到要退學(xué)的問(wèn)題，故本題答案更可能在選項(xiàng)A和C之間選擇。

　　【正確項(xiàng)分析】對(duì)話(huà)中多次透露女士想換專(zhuān)業(yè)。她想學(xué)哲學(xué)，但耐不住父母的勸說(shuō)，她選擇了英語(yǔ)，這使她學(xué)得不開(kāi)心。所以她一直想要的就是A選項(xiàng)，換專(zhuān)業(yè)。

　　【干擾項(xiàng)分析】雖然選項(xiàng)A、C都有“換專(zhuān)業(yè)”的意思，但女士現(xiàn)在是英語(yǔ)專(zhuān)業(yè)，不存在選項(xiàng)C中的“轉(zhuǎn)入英語(yǔ)系”的問(wèn)題。選項(xiàng)B在對(duì)話(huà)中沒(méi)有提及。對(duì)話(huà)中最后說(shuō)的是“退出英語(yǔ)系”而不是選項(xiàng)D所說(shuō)的退學(xué)。

　　【原文及譯文】

　　M: Hey, Karen, you are not really reading it, are you?

　　W: Pardon?

　　M: The book! You haven’t turned the page in the last ten minutes.

　　W: No, Jim. I suppose I haven’t. I need to get through it, though, but I keep drifting away.

　　M: So it doesn’t really hold your interest?

　　W: No, not really. I wouldn’t bother with it, to be honest, but I have to read it for a seminar. I’m at a university.

　　M: It’s a labor of labor then rather than a labor of love.

　　W: I should say I don’t like Dickens at all really, the author; indeed, I am starting to like the whole course less and less.

　　M: It’s not just the book. It’s the course as well?

　　W: Yeah, in a way, although the course itself isn’t really that bad, a lot of it is pretty good, in fact, and the lecturer is fine. As to me, I suppose, you see, I want to do philosophy rather than English, but my parents took me out of it.

　　M: So the courses are OK as such. It’s just that if it had been left to you, you would choose a different one.

　　W: Oh, they had my best interest and heart of course, my parents. They always do, don’t they? They believe that my job prospect would be pretty limited with the degree of philosophy. Plus, they give me a really generous allowance, but I am beginning to feel that I’m wasting my time and their money. They would be so disappointed though if I told them I was quitting.

　　22. Why can’t Karen concentrate on the book?

　　23. Why is Karen starting to like the course less and less?

　　24. Who thinks Philosophy graduates have limited job opportunities?

　　25. What is Karen thinking of doing?
