2017年12月英语四级考试真题全解析（第一套）

第一部分：写作

题目解析：

审题：

四级写作的第一步即读懂题目要求。读题目时我们需要在题干中去找“关键词”。本次作文中读完题目，建议同学们用笔勾画出来五个关键词，即五个要点，顺序依次是“30 minutes”、“essay”、“how”、“the relationship between doctors andpatients”、“write at least 120 words but no more than180 words”其中关于考试时间和作文字数的要求每年都一致。接下来审题的重点：这次写作要求我们写一篇常见的议论文，并且去简述如何处理医生和病人的关系。读完题目之后，我们了解到这次的写作主题即“医患关系（the relationship between doctors andpatients）”。

谋篇：

四级写作的第二步即布局三段结构，这次写作中强调“如何处理医患关系”，所以我们在第二段写作时，可以从两个维度出发—医生和患者—去叙述如何正确处理两个主体之间的关系。

框架：全文分为三个段落。第一段为话题引出段（可结合情景作文第一段，先表明自己的观点）；第二段为原因分析段（主要从医生/患者两个方面进行原因论述）；第三段为意义阐述段。

具体的范文如下，仅做参考：

In the present age,it is generally acknowledged that the relationship between doctors and patients is playing indispensable roles inour lives.As far as I am concerned,we should balance this kind of relationship from two aspects,doctorsand patients.

The causes of this perspective are multiple.In the first place,the reason hasbeen cited as a major reason that doctorscannot be understood,for patients always maintain doctors can cure all kindsof disease.This is mainly due to the fact that although medical technology and science are advanced at an amazingrate,there exists a multitude of various kinds of diseases we cannot cure.Furthermore,the reason can contribute this perspective that patients are believed to be lack of thefundamental medical knowledge,which results in this relationship are worried.Plenty of evidence has shown that anincreasing number of patients often go to extremes if their diseases cannot be cureinstantly.

When it comes to ourmodern society,it is universally acknowledged that dealing

with the relationship between doctors and patients in areasonable way plays a vitally important role in our lives.Undoubtedly,ifwe spare no efforts to do so,our future will be hopeful and promising.

New report 1

1.答案:B)Her little brother.

2.答案:C)By selling lemonade andpictures.

题目解析：

第1题：

Q:Who did Edison raise money for?

此题用新闻首句原则,了解大致内容是Edison卖柠檬水和画画为生病需要做心脏手术(surgery)的弟弟筹资。第一道题给考生来了个下马威,难度系数比较高,需要考生自己分类信息再听取问题作答,这种题型称为模棱两可型题目,考察学生听力和反应能力。A)Her friend Erika.根据顺序原则,A选项在新闻最后才出现且与问题不符，先不作考虑。C/D选项是Edison祖母猜测Edison偷听到祖父的对话,从而得知弟弟生病,与问题无关,故排除。

第2题：

Q:How did Edison raisemoney?

这道题难度中等,根据选项形式都是by,可得知问题一定是问how,因此,可预先考虑应该紧抓文章中的“方式”,再根据视听一致原则即可得出答案。

四级写作的第一步即读懂题目要求。读题目时我们需要在题干中去找“关键词”。本次作文中读完题目，建议同学们用笔勾画出来五个关键词，即五个要点，顺序依次是“30 minutes”、“essay”、“how”、“the relationship between doctors andpatients”、“write at least 120 words but no more than180 words”其中关于考试时间和作文字数的要求每年都一致。接下来审题的重点：这次写作要求我们写一篇常见的议论文，并且去简述如何处理医生和病人的关系。读完题目之后，我们了解到这次的写作主题即“医患关系（the relationship between doctors andpatients）”。

原文：

Last week,France announced that the countrywill pave 621 miles of road with solar panels over the next five years,withthe goal of providing cheap,renewable energy to five million people.

Called“the Wattway,”the roads will be builtthrough joint efforts with the French road-building company Colas and theNational Institute of Solar Energy.The company spent the last five yearsdeveloping solar panels that are only about a quarter of an inch thick and are strongenough to stand up to heavy highway traffic without breaking or making theroads more slippery.The panels are also designed so that they can be installeddirectly on top of existing roadways,making them relativelycheap and easy to install.

Franceisn’t the first country to kick around the idea of paving its roads with solarpanels.In November 2015,the Netherlands completed a 229-foot-long bike pathpaved with solar panels as a test for future projects.However,this is thefirst time a panel has been designed to be laid directly on top of existingroads and the first project to install the panels on public highways.

Lions have disappeared from much of Africa,but for the past few years scientists have wondered if the big cats werehanging on in remote parts of Sudan and Ethiopia.Continuous fighting in theregion has made surveys difficult.But scientists released a report Mondaydocumenting,with hard evidence,the discovery of"lost lions."

A team with Oxford University’s WildlifeConservation Research Unit,supported by a charity organization,spent twonights in November camping in the National Park in northwest Ethiopia,on theEthiopia-Sudan border.The researchers set out six camera traps capturingimages of lions,and they identified lion tracks.

The scientists concluded that lions are alsolikely to live in the neighbouring National Park across the border in Sudan.The International Union for Conservation of Nature had previously consideredthe area a"possible range"for the species,and local people hadreported seeing lions in the area,but no one presented convincing evidence.

Section C

Passage One

46.What did researchers find puzzling about the first-night effect?

答案：D)In what way it can be beneficial.

此题为细节题。题干关键词为first-nighteffect，researchers,puzzling。据此定位到第二段第二句“The puzzle was what benefitwould be gained from it”，句子大意为：（研究者的）困惑是将会从中获得什么利益、好处。可见，D选项为正确答案，“beneficial”是对原文中“benefit”的同义替换。A选项借第一段第一句“troublesleeping”干扰，该句是first-night effect的定义，且不在定位范围内；B选项借第二段第一句“howhuman evolved”干扰，不是puzzle的内容；C选项借第三段第一句的“thesurrounding environment”干扰，是实验相关内容，不在定位范围内。

47.What do we learn about Dr.Yuka Sasaki doing her research?

答案：C)She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins

此题为推理题。题干关键词为Dr.Yuka Sasaki doing her research，因关键词为全文话题，定位价值不大，所以可用反证法通过选项关键词来定位，选项共同的关键词为birdsand dolphins。据此定位到第二段第三句“She also knew from previous workconducted on birds and dolphins…”，句子大意为她可从之前对鸟类和海豚的研究中得出一些成果，这让她想研究人是否也会做同样的事。可见，C选项为正确答案，是对原文的同义替换。A 选项的错误在于asleep（熟睡的）与原文“puthalf of their brains to sleep”（半睡的状态），意思不符；BD选项的错误在于“sleepingway”和“sleepingpattern”表述不够具体、清楚。

48.What did Dr.Sasaki do when she first did her experiment?

A)She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment.

此题为细节题。题干关键词为Dr.Sasaki,first experiment,do（做法）。“firstexperiment”在原文中没有原词复现，但根据句意，可知定位处在第二段第四句“thisled her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing”后。根据后面原文“The participants…monitored with techniques that looked at the activity oftheir brains.”可知，A选项为正确答案。B选项将原文的“35healthy people”和“Department of Psychological Sciences”杂糅;C选项的错误在于原文并没有分析大脑的两半的区别；D选项是研究的目的，而非实验中的做法，答非所问。

49.What did Dr.Sasaki do when re-running her experiment?

答案：C)She exposed her participants to two different stimuli.

此题为细节题。题干关键词为Dr.Sasaki和re-runingher experiment。据此定位到第三段第一句话后半段“while presenting the sleepingparticipants with a mix of regularly timed beeps of the same and irreugularbeeps of a different tone”,C选项是对该句的概括，符合文意。A选项的错误在于干扰睡眠的是irregularbeeps,而非irregulartones;B选项的错误在于没有提及记录实验参与者对变化环境的适应；D选项的错误在于原文未提及不同的实验参与者。

50.What did Dr.Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment?

答案：B)They tended to perceive irregular beeps as a threat.

此题为细节题。题干关键词为Dr.Sasaki,the participants,find（研究结果）。据此定位到“sheworked out that…”后，根据“itwould react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep”可知不规律的蜂鸣声会扰乱睡眠，B选项符合文意。A选项的错误在于原文并没有说tones对睡眠有影响；C选项的错误在于sleepy（困乏的），无中生有；D选项的错误在于原文并未提及不同的人对不规律的音调的容忍度不同。

Passage Two

51.What does the author say is the problem with women?

答案：D)They tend to push themselves beyond the limits of theirability.

此题为细节题。题干关键词为problem,women。据此定位到第一段第一、二句，“beingoverworked or over-committed at home and on the job will not get you where youwant to be in life”,该句大意为“女性为家庭、为工作过度付出将不会使她们过上想要的生活”，D选项符合文意。A选项的错误在于原文并没有说女性不清楚自己的职业目标；B选项的错误在于原文并没有将女性对家庭和对工作的付出做比较；C选项的错误在于

over-optimistic（过度乐观）无中生有。

52.Why do working women of child-bearing age tend to feel drainedof energy?

答案：A)They struggle to satisfy the demands of both work and home.

此题为细节题。题干关键词为workingwomen of child-bearing age,feel drained of energy,why（原因）。据此定位到第三段第二句“onereason women may feel exhausted is that…”后，根据“womenwant to be able to do it all…”，可知，A选项符合文意，女性努力满足工作和家庭需求。B选项只强调过分投入工作，以偏概全；C选项的错误在于借第三段likedby their colleagues干扰，但与同事合作原文并未提及；D选项，过度推理，文中并没有说女性的责任太多。

53.What may hinder the future prospects of career women?

答案：A)Their unwillingness to say“no”.

此题为细节题。题干关键词为futureprospect,career women,hinder（阻碍因素）。据此定位到第三段第二句，“Unfortunately，thisinability to say“no”may be hurting women’s health as well as their career.A选项符合文意。BCD原文未提及。

道路极其危险。然而，希望长寿大人却经常上山，因为山上生长着许多草药，特别是一些稀有的草药。自上世纪90年代安装缆车以来，参观人数大大增加。

译文：

Locatedin Huayin City,Mount Hua is 120 kilometers away from Xi’an.Mount Hua is apart of Qinling Mountains,which not only separates the southern and northernparts of Shaanxi but also the South and North China.Unlike Taishan Mountain,where people often go to worship,there used to be few people going to MountHua as the roads to the mountains are extremely dangerous.However,people whowish to live longer often climb mountains as there are many herbs on them,especially some rare ones.Since cable cars were installed in the 1990s,thenumber of visitors has increased dramatically.

题目解析：

乍一看，这篇翻译有点难，其实里面很多单词在以前的真题中都出现过。比如说，华南（SouthChina)，华北（NorthChina).，稀有的药草(rareherbs)，某地位于什么地方(belocated in)等等。

第一句：华山位于华阴市，距西安120公里。Locatedin Huayin City,Mount Hua is 120 kilometers away from Xi’an.

第二句：华山是秦岭的一部分，秦岭不仅分隔陕南与陕北，也分隔华南与华北。MountHua is a part of Qinling Mountains,which not only separates the southern andnorthern parts of Shaanxi but also the South and North China.秦岭直接译为QinlingMountains，陕南与陕北就是指陕西的南部和北部the southern and northern partsof Shaanxi

第三句：与从前人们常去朝拜的泰山不同，华山过去很少有人光临，因为上山的道路极其危险。UnlikeTaishan Mountain,where people often go to worship,there used to be few peoplegoing to Mount Hua as the roads to the mountains are extremely dangerous.

第四句：然而，希望长寿的人去经常上山，因为山上生长着许多药草，特别是一些稀有的药草。However,people who wish to live longer often climb mountains as there are many herbs onthem,especially some rare ones.

第五句：自上世纪90年代安装缆车以来，参加人数大大增加。

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots .

To begin with, family in growing numbers has only one child; therefore, parents oftentimes focus all their attentions on that child and exert much pressure on him or her(原因一). Moreover, numerous parents intend to realize their unfulfilled dreams by letting their children learn what they failed to learn and apply for the college by which they failed to be accepted, because they have become richer and they believe that they have the power to make what they wanted and want come true now(原因二). For instance, my uncle used to be a poor man and his dream that one day he would become a violinist was broken because of lack of money. But he made a fortune by selling coals, and then forced his son, my younger brother to practice playing violin. My brother was a huge fan of sports, but now he has to play violin everyday unwillingly and ofter quarrels with their parents(举例：原来-然后-结局).

Rice has long occupied so significant a position in the diet of Chinese that there is a proverb “ Even a clever housewife cannot cook a me al without rice”. Rice is grown mostly in southern China where people usually take rice as their staple food, while it cannot be planted in northern China where the climate is either too cold or too dry for rice to grow. As a result, the main crop in the north is wheat.
