20xx年12月英語四級真題及答案解析(參考版)

　　

【正文】 近期的調查還顯示很多醫生讓病人進行癌癥篩查純粹是為了在醫療事故中保護自己，所以這篇反對了人們長期以來的對健康檢查的誤解，即健康檢查并非多多益善。當他們開始叫停50歲以下和74歲以上的婦女的乳腺癌篩查時，受慣例根深蒂固影響的人們掀起了軒然大波。長期以來，人們認為對于老年人來說，隨著年齡的增長，腫瘤生長造成的威脅就越大，所以醫生建議他們進行各類常規的癌癥篩查。根據倒數第二段的最后一句The Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that million people who wanted and were available for work hadn’t looked within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as ，那一部分人已經被排除掉了，所以失業率這個數據是有水分的。 is the key to landing a job according to the author?答案：解析：本題屬于細節考查題。 does the author say about overall job growth?答案： doesn’t have much effect on individual job ：本題繼續考察作者觀點。題干問大部分的職位空缺來自于哪里？根據四個選項，可以用排除法將business expansion排除，因為原文并未提及。包括原文最后一段第一句“So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up.”所以，綜上所述，它不該給你找工作帶來阻礙，引申意思就是該怎么辦就怎么辦，不要在意官方統計的高失業率。題干問在作者看來，高失業率怎么樣？鎖定原文第一段，雖然第一段中的bad for the economy，discouraging，change careers等字眼跟選項ABD當中的詞匯很類似，但是要注意的是，真正表達作者觀點的是第一段最后一句But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you think。今后大家還應當繼續注重一些商務詞匯的表達，如job turnover（人員更替），termination解雇，land jobs找工作，等等。從整體語言難度來說，文章難度不是很大，財經相關的一些詞匯基本都是大家比較熟悉的。and keep going, even after repeated

Much About Paltry Job Growth”，文章主要表達了這樣一種觀點，即找工作的人不必太在意官方提供的高失業率，就業增長等數據，原因在于這些并不等說明現實情況，比如：人員更替帶來了更多的職位空缺，因此，即便是經濟增速緩慢，就業增長為零，依然還是有很多的職位空缺存在。be creative about where and how to look。通過第三段第一句話的后半句可以看出，兒童的每頓飯中要包含冒號之后部分的食物中的至少兩項，所以55空填item，指的是后面的選項。在這句話中是指其他參與將為美國兒童提供更健康的事物的快餐店，也提供各種各樣的菜單選擇。，whether...or, 選項中只有prefer一個課用于比較，上面剛剛講到問顧客是選擇套餐時是更喜歡選牛奶還是蘋果片，這是一種將顧客的需求具體化，所以填specify。 在快餐在兒童中引起肥胖癥的現象受到越來越多關注的背景之下，19家公司宣誓將為兒童提供更多健康的菜單選擇，結合上下文可知空格處應填concern 因為上一段剛剛提到快餐引起兒童肥胖的問題獲得了越來越多的重視，第2段順承上面的內容，講到漢堡王采取的相應措施：。對于考生來說這一話題也并不陌生，從內容上來還是比較容易理解的。Section CTime is, for the average
