今年上半年的四级长阅读考查的是题为“人类活至百岁,工作变至如何”的一篇文章。整篇文章段落较多,但内容并不是太难,只要掌握一定的段落匹配题技巧,得高分甚至得满分都不是难事。现在,文都四六级辅导老师带领大家一起做题并为大家提供相应解析。

I. 根据题干中的定位词“extend lifespan”,“more careers”回文定位至第I段中“containing two, three, or even more different careers”一句。
G. 根据题干中的定位词“extending careers”,“positive and negative effects”回文定位至第G段中“that doesn’t mean that simply extending our careers is appealing”。这句话的逻辑即指正反两方面,再看后文两句,正好印证了题干内容。
D. 根据题干中的定位词“Americans”,“delay marriage”,“by eight years”回文定位至第D段最后一句,两个年龄(21 & 29)是明显的提示处。
N. 根据题干中的定位词“young people”,“no longer”“pattern of life”“parents and grandparents”回文定位至第N段中间部分“The three-stage life of...may have worked for our parents and grandparents, but it is not relevant today.”
A. 根据题干中的定位词“live over 100”,“the mid-21st century”回文定位至第A段中的中文“百岁老人”“by 2015”,进一步验证之后可以确定该题对应A段。
K. 根据题干中的定位词“radical change”,“approach to life”回文定位至第K段首句的“profound change”“approach to life”,略读该句意思后可确定该题对应K段。
H. 根据题干中的定位词“technological change”,“necessary”,“update skills”回文定位至第H段“technological change”“have to make a number of major investments in their skills”.
F. 根据题干中的定位词“not want to retire”,“do harm to”“mental and emotional well-being”回文定位至第F段首句“Longevity also pushes back the age of retirement”,以及尾句“Many people may simply not want to do it”.
M. 根据题干中的定位词“link between age and stage”,“cease to exist”,“multi-stage life”回文定位至第M段首句“with the variety will come the end of the close association of age and stage”,再看段内出现“multi-stage life”,可确定该题对应M段。
C.  根据题干中的定位词“longer and healthier”,“rearrange work and life”回文定位至第C段首句“if many people are living for longer...healthier, then this will...redesign of work and life”。故可确定该题对应C段。
