Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.
Global warming is a trend toward warmer conditions around the world. Part of the warming is natural; we have experienced a 20 000-year-long warming as the last ice age ended and the ice 36 away. However, we have already reached temperatures that are in ___37____ with other minimum-ice periods, so continued warming is likely not natural. We are ___38___ to a predicted worldwide increase in temperatures ___39 ___ between 1℃ and 6℃ over the next 100 years. The warming will be more ___40____ in some areas, less in others, and some places may even cool off. Likewise, the___41____ of this warming will be very different depending on where you are coastal areas must worry about rising sea levels, while Siberia and northern Canada may become more habitable(宜居的)and 42 for humans than these areas are now.
The fact remains, however, that it will likely get warmer, on___43____, everywhere. Scientists are in general agreement that the warmer conditions we have been experiencing are at least in part the result of a human-induced global warming trend. Some scientists ___44____ that the changes we are seeing fall within the range of random(無規(guī)律的)variation—some years are cold, others warm, and we have just had an unremarkable string of warm years ___45___ but that is becoming an increasingly rare interpretation in the face of continued and increasing warm conditions.

Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
The End of the Book?
A) Amazon, by far the largest bookseller in the country, reported on May 19 that it is now selling more books in its electronic Kindle format than in the old paper-and-ink format. That is remarkable, considering that the Kindle has only been around for four years. E-books now account for 14 percent of all book sales in this country and arc increasing far faster than overall book sales. E-book sales are up 146 percent over last year, while hardback sales increased 6 percent and paperbacks decreased 8 percent.
B) Does this spell the doom of the physical book? Certainly not immediately, and perhaps not at all. What it does mean is that the book business will go through a transformation in the next decade or so more profound than any it has seen since Gutenberg introduced printing from moveable type in the 1450s.
C) Physical books will surely become much rarer in the marketplace. Mass market paperbacks, which have been declining for years anyway, will probably disappear, as will hardbacks for mysteries, thrillers, “ romance fiction,” etc. Such books, which only rarely end up in permanent collections, either private or public, will probably only be available as e-books within a few years. Hardback and trade paperbacks for “serious” nonfiction and fiction will surely last longer. Perhaps it will become the mark of an author to reckon with that he or she is still published in hard copy.
D) As for children’s books, who knows? Children’s books are like dog food in that the purchasers are not the consumers, so the market (and the marketing) is inherently strange.
E) For clues to the book’s future. Jet’s look at some examples of technological change and see what happened to the old technology.
F) One technology replaces another only because the new technology is better, cheaper, or both. The greater the difference, the sooner and more thoroughly the new technology replaces the old. Printing with moveable type on paper dramatically reduced the cost of producing a book compared with the old-fashioned ones handwritten on vellum, which comes from sheepskin. A Bible—to be sure, a long book—required vellum made from 300 sheepskins and countless man-hours of labor. Before printing arrived, a Bible cost more than a middle-class house. There were perhaps 50 000 books in all of Europe in 1450. By 1500 there were 10 million.
G) But while printing quickly caused the handwritten book to die out. handwriting lingered on(繼續(xù)存在)well into the 16th century. Very special books are still occasionally produced on vellum, but they are one-of-a-kind show pieces.
H) Sometimes a new technology doesn’t drive the old one out. but only parts of it while forcing the rest to evolve. The movies were widely predicted to drive live theater out of the marketplace, but they didn’t, because theater turned out to have qualities movies could not reproduce. Equally, TV was supposed to replace movies but, again, did not.
I) Movies did, however, fatally impact some parts of live theater. And while TV didn’t kill movies, it did kill second-rate pictures, shorts, and cartoons.
J) Nor did TV kill radio. Comedy and drama shows (“Jack Benny,” “Amos and Andy.” “The Shadow”)all migrated to television. But because you can’t drive a car and watch television at the same time, rush hour became radio’s prime time, while music, talk, and news radio greatly enlarged their audiences. Radio is today a very different business than in the late 1940s and a much larger one.
K) Sometimes old technology lingers for centuries because of its symbolic power. Mounted cavalry (騎兵)replaced the chariot (二輪戰(zhàn)車)on the battlefield around 1000 BC. But chariots maintained their place in parades and triumphs right up until the end of the Roman Empire 1 500 years later. The sword hasn’t had a military function for a hundred years, but is still part of an officer’s full-dress uniform, precisely because a sword always symbolized “an officer and a gentleman. ”
L) Sometimes new technology is a little cranky (不穩(wěn)定的)at first. Television repairman was a common occupation in the 1950s, for instance. And so the old technology remains as a backup. Steamships captured the North Atlantic passenger business from sail in the 1840s because of its much greater speed. But steamships didn’t lose their sails until the 1880s, because early marine engines had a nasty habit of breaking down. Until ships became large enough (and engines small enough) to mount two engines side by side, they needed to keep sails. (The high cost of steam and the lesser need for speed kept the majority of the world’s ocean freight moving by sail until the early years of the 20th century.)
M) Then there is the fireplace. Central heating was present in every upper- and middle-class home by the second half of the 19th century. But functioning fireplaces remain to this day a powerful selling point in a house or apartment. I suspect the reason is a deep-rooted love of fire. Fire was one of the earliest major technological advances for humankind, providing heat, protection, and cooked food (which is much easier to cat and digest). Human control of fire goes back far enough (over a million years) that evolution could have produced a genetic leaning towards fire as a control aspect of human life.
N) Books—especially books the average person could afford—haven’t been around long enough to produce evolutionary change in humans. But they have a powerful hold on many people nonetheless, a hold extending far beyond their literary content. At their best, they arc works of art and there is a tactile(觸覺的)pleasure in books necessarily lost in e-book versions. The ability to quickly thumb through pages is also lost. And a room with books in it induces, at least in some, a feeling not dissimilar to that of a fire in the fireplace on a cold winter’s night.
O) For these reasons I think physical books will have a longer existence as a commercial product than some currently predict. Like swords, books have symbolic power. Like fireplaces, they induce a sense of comfort and warmth. And, perhaps, similar to sails, they make a useful backup for when the lights go out.

Section C
Directions: 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 centre.
Passage One
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education isn’t an either or proposition (命題), although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.
The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also asserts that the study of the humanities (人文學(xué)科) and social sciences must remain central components of America’s educational system at all levels. Both areas arc critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society. become innovative (創(chuàng)新的)leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.
Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’ job prospects as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs. Under these circumstances, it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the problem: “Major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run. Indeed, according to surveys, employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, and communicate easily.
Moreover, students should be prepared not just for their first job. but for their 4th and 5th jobs, as there’s little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers. The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible. The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight—-picked up from science, arts, and technology to solve the problems of the future, and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves, will be helpful to them and the United States.

B) The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.
C) The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students’ spiritual life.

A) Their interest in relevant subjects. C) The quality of education to receive.
B) The academic value of the courses. D) Their chances of getting a good job.
58. What does the author say about the so-called soft subjects?

B) They broaden students’ range of interests.
C) They improve students’ communication skills.

B) Try to take a variety of practical courses. D) Adopt a flexible approach to solving problems.
Passage Two
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
Energy independence. It has a nice ring to it. doesn’t it? If you think so, you’re not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American presidents for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession.
“Energy independence” and its rhetorical (修辭的)companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concepts that arc rarely thought through. What is it we want independence from, exactly?
Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that oil from elsewhere.
The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle (涓涓細(xì)流)of biofuel (生物燃料)available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.
Second, Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection. To what extent arc Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?
Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit. And although you don’t read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.
There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and. in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy. When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices. At the same time, we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.

2014年6月英語四級(jí)閱讀理解真題答案
【選詞填空】
36. I) melted
本空是謂語，需要?jiǎng)釉~，且空前并列成分謂語用的是過去式ended，因此需要過去式。備選的有melted(融化)和resolved(決心)，能與空前ice構(gòu)成合理意思、且與空后away構(gòu)成搭配的只有melted，表示“冰川融化”。
37. G) line
本空空前是介詞，因此需要名詞性成分，且要考慮與空后的with構(gòu)成搭配。符合要求的只有l(wèi)ine(in line with，與……一致)。意思是我們已經(jīng)接近“與其他最小冰川期時(shí)一致的溫度”。
38. C) contributing
前句用完成時(shí)表示已經(jīng)達(dá)到的狀態(tài)，本句we are描述的則是正在發(fā)生的過程，需要?jiǎng)釉~的ing形式，且要考慮與空后的介詞to構(gòu)成搭配。備選的有appealing to(呼吁、上訴)、contributing to(促成、導(dǎo)致)，ranging后不直接與介詞to構(gòu)成搭配。意思合理的只有contributing，為“我們正促成世界范圍內(nèi)氣溫的升高”。
39. K) ranging
本空引領(lǐng)的是temperature的后置定語，需要?jiǎng)釉~分詞。備選的有appealing(呼吁、上訴)、ranging(范圍在……)和resolved(決心)。空后的between 1℃ and 6 ℃明顯是范圍區(qū)間，因此ranging合乎語義。range between/from A and B為常用搭配。
40. D) dramatic
本空作為表語，且空前有more，提示了本空需要形容詞。備選的有appealing(有吸引力的)、dramatic(戲劇性的、突發(fā)的)和sensible(明智的)。這里描述的是氣候變化的效果，因此dramatic意思更合適，意為“某些地方的氣候變化會(huì)更加戲劇化”。后半句提到的有些地方可能cool off(變冷)也是暗示氣候變化的突發(fā)及劇烈。
41. F) impact
空前的the暗示本空需要名詞。備選的有average(平均)、impact(影響)和shock(震驚)。impact和shock都能用于與warming構(gòu)成搭配，但后面提到的different depending on where you are提示了本空應(yīng)當(dāng)是一個(gè)較為寬泛的概念，故impact更合適，意為“氣候變暖的影響因所在地不同而不同”。
42. A) appealing
空前的and提示了本空與and前的habitable(宜居的)同詞性且義相近。因此本空需要形容詞，備選的有appealing(有吸引力的)和sensible(明智的)。意思上與habitable更能并列、描述本句所說的Siberia and northern Canada的影視appealing，表示“西伯利亞和加拿大北部可能會(huì)變得更宜居、更吸引人”。
43. B) average
空前介詞on提示了本空需要名詞性成分與之構(gòu)成搭配。備選的有average(平均)和shock(震驚)。這里意思更合理的是average，且on average是固定搭配“平均地”。
44. H) maintain
本空需要謂語，且前句所用為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，考慮到本句主語為復(fù)數(shù)scientists，因此本空需要?jiǎng)釉~原形。備選的有maintain(維持、堅(jiān)稱)、persist(堅(jiān)持)和shock(震驚)。但persist為不及物動(dòng)詞，而本空后有賓語從句;shock意思不合適是且一般后面接人。因此只能選maintain。意為“有些科學(xué)家堅(jiān)稱……”。
45. L) recently
本空所在句不缺其它成分，本空需要副詞。備選的又frequently(頻繁地)和recently(最近)�？涨疤岬娇茖W(xué)家認(rèn)為氣候變化無規(guī)律，有些年冷、有些年熱(some years are cold, others warm)。本空所在的we have just had an unremarkable string of warm years應(yīng)當(dāng)是順著科學(xué)家的觀點(diǎn)而來，解釋我們現(xiàn)在所處的正好是偏熱的年份期。因此本空用recently強(qiáng)調(diào)當(dāng)下更佳。若選frequently表示“我們頻繁處在偏熱的年份”，則與科學(xué)家所持的氣溫冷熱無規(guī)律交替的觀點(diǎn)不相符合。

【仔細(xì)閱讀一】
56.B
本題屬于觀點(diǎn)型細(xì)節(jié)題，問最近的一次國會(huì)報(bào)告提出了什么建議。根據(jù)題干定位詞latest congressional report定位到文章第二段第一句。Acknowledge意為“承認(rèn)”，引出觀點(diǎn)。前半句非常簡單，“最近的一次國會(huì)報(bào)告承認(rèn)了技術(shù)訓(xùn)練的關(guān)鍵性”，后半句以but進(jìn)行語義轉(zhuǎn)折，意為“但是他們也認(rèn)為關(guān)于人文學(xué)科和社會(huì)科學(xué)的研究都必須在任何等級(jí)的美國教育系統(tǒng)中作為核心部分”。之后的both areas are critical to…都是在描述這兩門學(xué)科對(duì)塑造人才的積極影響，可以略讀。
再來看四個(gè)選項(xiàng)。
A. STEM在第一段有解釋，分別由science, technology, engineering和maths的首字母組成，意為“科學(xué)”，“技術(shù)”，“工程學(xué)”和“數(shù)學(xué)”。所以A選項(xiàng)的意思是“與STEM相關(guān)的學(xué)科可以幫助學(xué)生在信息社會(huì)找到工作”。文章對(duì)于STEM的影響的描述只出現(xiàn)在第二段的最后一句話，但沒有提及能幫助找工作，屬于無中生有，排除。
B. 意思是“人文學(xué)科和STEM應(yīng)該被給與相同的重要性”。通過第二段第一句話but后面的內(nèi)容可以確定B為正選。選項(xiàng)唯一的難點(diǎn)是STEM在文中是以social science進(jìn)行同義替換的方式出現(xiàn)的。Should be given equal importance和原文的must remain central components of …對(duì)應(yīng)。
C. “高等教育的文科能幫助學(xué)生豐富精神世界”。C選項(xiàng)的干擾性同樣來自于第二段的最后一句，但需要注意的是原文所說的spiritual enrichment是由reflection on the great ideas of mankind提供而非選項(xiàng)所指的liberal arts. 故C排除。
D. “高等教育應(yīng)該適用于社會(huì)的實(shí)際需求”。這個(gè)選項(xiàng)屬于無中生有，比較容易排除。
57.D
題目問學(xué)生選擇專業(yè)時(shí)主要關(guān)心什么。結(jié)合順序原則可以大致定位到第三段，本段前兩句話講述了家長和學(xué)生們?cè)跒楦叩冉逃龀鼍薮笸顿Y之后所以擔(dān)心的問題就是市場的變化可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致孩子們將來就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)變少以及工資降低。并且根據(jù)這個(gè)大背景提出了一個(gè)公認(rèn)的解決的辦法，也就是由題干中的major定位到的本段第三句，“Major in a subject designed to get you a job”seems the obvious answer to some,… 意思是“選擇一個(gè)為給你找到工作而設(shè)計(jì)的專業(yè)是大部分人認(rèn)可大答案”。
A.“對(duì)相關(guān)專業(yè)的興趣�！�
B.“課程的學(xué)術(shù)價(jià)值�！�
C.“接受的教育的質(zhì)量�！�
D.“找到工作的機(jī)會(huì)�！痹牡耐x改寫，鎖定D答案。
58.A
問作者如何評(píng)價(jià)所謂的“軟”學(xué)科。本題答案依然出自于第三段，57題定位句的后半句，即though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run.本句的disciplines與subjects都是“學(xué)科”的意思，所以這句話可以翻譯成“盡管他們忽略一個(gè)事實(shí)，那就是人文學(xué)科中那些被描述成“軟”學(xué)科的，通常能夠能夠促成將來的就業(yè)和成功”。
A.“他們會(huì)在將來的生活使學(xué)生受益�！眀enefit與原文的lead to employment and success對(duì)應(yīng)，in their future與原文的in the long run對(duì)應(yīng)。A為正選。
B.“他們能擴(kuò)大學(xué)生的興趣�！�
C.“他們能提高學(xué)生的交流能力�！�
D.“他們對(duì)于學(xué)生的健康成長至關(guān)重要�！盉CD均為無中生有，直接排除。
58.D
問老板想找什么類型的應(yīng)聘者。答案出自第三段最后一句話，employers have expressed a preference for students who received a broadly-based education that has taught them how to write well, think carefully, research creatively, and communicate easily. 這句話非常直白地告訴我們老板所偏愛的員工是接受過broadly-based education的人，即“全方位教育”，所以與這句話有相同描述的選項(xiàng)即為正選。
A.“那些有強(qiáng)烈責(zé)任感的人。”
B.“那些能夠解決實(shí)際問題的人�！�
C.“那些有可能成為有創(chuàng)新力的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的人�！�
D.“那些接受過全方位教育的人�！眞ell-rounded是broadly-based的同義改寫，所以D為正選。
60.C
問作者給大學(xué)生提了什么建議。全文只有四段話，前三段都已經(jīng)用于解決之前的四道題，所以最后一題自然而然地定位到最后一段。并且由第一句里的students should…可以看出這段話主要是在討論相關(guān)的建議。由于沒有具體的定位詞可以參考，所以一般情況下咱們需要快速讀完整段話再一一對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng)看有沒有符合的內(nèi)容。
A.“尋找機(jī)會(huì)開發(fā)自己的潛力�！�
B.“試著參加各種實(shí)際課程�！�
C.“為不同的工作選擇做好準(zhǔn)備�！�
D.“采取靈活的方法來解決問題�！�
本題選擇D。答案出自于本段的最后兩句話。意思是“能在這種環(huán)境下做到最好的一定是那些已經(jīng)讓自己做好隨時(shí)變通的準(zhǔn)備的人�！币约白詈笞髡哌�評(píng)價(jià)“能夠利用任何可用的工具——不管是來自己于哪個(gè)學(xué)科，去解決問題，并且利用機(jī)會(huì)表現(xiàn)自己”的能力會(huì)產(chǎn)生很大的幫助。D選項(xiàng)就是對(duì)原文的歸納和總結(jié)，ABC屬于無中生有的干擾項(xiàng)。
【仔細(xì)閱讀二】
61、A 此題并非主旨題，按順序原則及題干信息定位首段。 “If you think so, you’re not alone”表明作者持有同樣想法，答案往“so”前面找——“Energy independence. It has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?” have a nice ring to sth.表示“聽起來不錯(cuò)，令人向往”的意思，選項(xiàng)A的attractive是其同義改寫。即使不了解短語，根據(jù)nice可判斷正態(tài)度，答案選A。
62、D 由題干信息biofuels定位在第四段落。定位句本身出現(xiàn)but強(qiáng)調(diào)：“but most biofuels are a Faustian bargain, causing economic waste and environmental destruction. ”but后面的強(qiáng)調(diào)才是作者對(duì)于biofuels的真正想法——causing economic waste and environmental destruction。選項(xiàng)中AB選項(xiàng)均為正態(tài)度，與原文不符直接排除。原文中C選項(xiàng)為干擾選項(xiàng)，“可持續(xù)的能源供給”，文章未提及。
63 、C 按照閱讀出題的“順序原則”直接看到下一段(第五段)。首句“Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil. ”美國人不愿意自己產(chǎn)油，是63題題干信息當(dāng)中“…America rely on heavily on oil imports”的同義改寫。根據(jù)“金三句原則”定位到定位句的下一句“the American people…decided that they value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. ”相比從國外進(jìn)口石油，美國人更看重環(huán)境質(zhì)量，由此判斷，答案選C——“keep environment intact”。
64、B 根據(jù)定位詞oil trade以及順序原則定位到文章最后一段。根據(jù)文章主旨和前文內(nèi)容，或者是根據(jù)定位段信息可知“United States imports a great of energy”，讓能源輸出國有利可圖，而同時(shí)“At the same time”，美國本身也有自身利益——“we derive massive economic benefits…when we engage in energy trade around the world.”，答案選B——“It proves profitable to both sides”。
65、A 問作者寫作意圖，即問全文主旨。根據(jù)各段首句以及串聯(lián)五個(gè)題干信息可得知，文章主要討論“America”的“energy independence”，就可以直接排除BCD選項(xiàng)了。為做題保險(xiǎn)，還要進(jìn)一步確認(rèn)。由文章末端的結(jié)尾“At the same time, we derive massive economic benefits…when we engage in energy trade around the world.” 可得知作者態(tài)度還是站在“oil imports”這一邊的，因?yàn)榭梢缘玫健癿assive economic benefits”，所以作者還是在為“oil imports”而申辯的。答案選A。
