2015年12月英语四级阅读答案点评第一套长篇阅读1
第一篇
参考答案及解析
61题,定位到第一段最后一句“varies byculture”,所以答案选A——They areculture-related.
62题,由题干的大写名词Russian定位到第二段和第三段。第二段的“Russian, for example, began towake up about a half-hour later each day”这一句是干扰句,起得晚不一定睡得早,所以答案推不出“他们比其他地方的人睡得更久”。然后看到第三段“Russia’sother late nights and early mornings generally coincided withpublic holidays”,所以答案为C——They don’t sleep much onholidays。
63题,题干问的是欧洲人缺乏睡眠的major cause主要原因是什么,由题干的大写名词Europeans’loss定位到倒数第二段的“comparedto Germans, Italians, and the French, who stayed up around an hourand a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch theCup”,原文的Germans, Italians, and theFrench就是题干中“Europeans”的同义改写,而他们stayed up就是为了to watch theCup,所以说他们缺乏睡眠的原因便是C选项——The World Cup。
64题,问的是富有的人使用设备来记录他们的睡眠模式的原因。由rich people以及device定位到最后一段第一句,定位句只说到了记录的事实,而非其原因。按照四级阅读金三句原则看到定位句的下一句“And people who elect to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person”,记录睡眠的人是想要得到比普通人更多的睡眠,所以答案是B——Theywant to get sufficient sleep.
65题,问的是作者在最后一段所表达的观点,定位到最后一句If the most healthconscious among us have such deep swings in our shuteye levels throughout the year, how much sleep are the rest of us losing? 作者提到了health-conscious,人们对健康的意识是缺乏的,对健康是视而不见的,所以答案选B——Fewpeople really know the importance of sleep.
