2010年6月四级深度阅读答案解析(文都)

二、篇章理解

Passage two
62. B It is based on the concept of positive thinking
63. A Encouraging positive thinking may do more harm than good
64. C You are emphasizing the fact that he is not intelligent
65. B Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem
66. C Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy

点评：这是一篇不那么积极的文章，从文章中感觉到一些无奈。从难度的角度分析，除了64题以外，另外四题难度适中。现在我们来分析分析这个让我们不那么爽的64题。

64 What does the author mean by “… you’re just underlining his faults”(Line 4, Para.3)?
A: You are not taking his mistakes seriously enough.
B: You are pointing out the errors he has committed.
C: You are emphasizing the fact that he is not intelligent.
D: You are trying to make him feel better about his faults.
这道题有不少考生选择了B，可惜了。

解题思路如下：

按照解题方法，根据题干找回原文。

The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaithey Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults.

本题关键是理解两个考点单词“underline”与“dim”，underline = emphasize强调，dim有笨的意思，也就是“not intelligent”。
所以选C You are emphasizing the fact that he is not intelligent.

三、快速阅读

提醒考生，因为存在AB卷，所以不同的试卷答案顺序不一样，请考生重点看选项的具体内容。

1.A Her daughters’ repeated complaints
2.D People haven’t yet reached agreement on its definition
3.C can realize what is important in life
4.A it seriously affected family relationships
5.C depressed
6B His family had intervened(干涉)
7.B curb his desire for online gaming

填空题部分，注意单词形式（主要是语法的问题）。
8. had an Internet Addiction 提醒考生，写成has则错误，因为这里是指过去的事情。
9. for professional help 提醒考生，由于seek既可作为及物动词，又可作为不及物动词，所以for可用，也可不用。
10. online dating
