2018年12月份的英語(yǔ)四級(jí)已經(jīng)進(jìn)入關(guān)鍵階段,為了幫助廣大的考生們備考復(fù)習(xí),小編整理了英語(yǔ)四級(jí)真題的相關(guān)信息,希望對(duì)參加英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試的同學(xué)有所幫助。

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 in increase in temperatures__39__betweem 1℃ and 6℃ over the next 100 years. The warming will be more__40__in some areas, less in other, 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(wú)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.

【參考答案】

? ? ? 36. I) melted

  本空是謂語(yǔ),需要?jiǎng)釉~,且空前并列成分謂語(yǔ)用的是過(guò)去式ended,因此需要過(guò)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(guò)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(yǔ),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(yǔ)義。range between/from A and B為常用搭配。

  40. D) dramatic

  本空作為表語(yǔ),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(shuō)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(yǔ),且前句所用為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),考慮到本句主語(yǔ)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(yǔ)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)。空前提到科學(xué)家認(rèn)為氣候變化無(wú)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(lái),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(wú)規(guī)律交替的觀點(diǎn)不相符合。

好了,以上是小編整理的英語(yǔ)四級(jí)真題的選詞填空部分(不含聽(tīng)力與作文)。在選詞匯時(shí)一定要結(jié)合句子上下文仔細(xì)斟酌,注意辨析詞匯。如果自學(xué)吃力,不妨試試專業(yè)老師的指導(dǎo),早日拿下四級(jí)。
