    2019年6月CET4閱讀理解練習(1)
    In the early nineteen fifties，researchers found that people scored lower on intelligence tests if they spoke more than one language.Research in the sixties found the opposite.So which is it?
    Researchers presented their newest studies last month at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.The latest evidence shows that being bilingual (雙語的)does not necessarily make people smarter.But researcher Ellen Bialystock says it probably does make you better at certain skills.She says bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention—a function called the executive(執(zhí)行的)control system.
    Ms Bialystock is a psychology professor at York University in Toronto，Canada. She says the best method to measure the executive control system is called the Stroop Test.A person is shown words in different colors.The person has to ignore the word but say the color.The problem is that the words are all names of colors.
    Her work shows that bilingual people continually practice this function.They have to，because both languages are active in their brain at the same time.They need to limit one to be able to speak in the other.
    This mental exercise might help in other ways，too.Researchers say bilingual children are better able to separate a word from its meaning，and more likely to have friends from different cultures.Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in developing dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
    Foreign language study has increased in the United States.But linguist Alison Mackey at Georgetown University points out that English-speaking countries are still far behind the rest of the world.In England，like in the United States，bilingualism is seen as something special and unique and something to be commented on and perhaps work towards，while in many other parts of the world being bilingual is just seen as a natural part of life.
    1. Being bilingual can make people ______.
    A. smarter than others
    B. better at all skills
    C. better at controlling their attention
    D. higher in intelligence
    2. Bilingual children more likely to ______.
    A. be healthier than others
    B. make more friends from different countries
    C. develop dementia or Alzheimer's disease
    D. recognize a word from its meaning
    3. The last paragraph suggests that ______.
    A. bilingualism is just seen as a natural part of life in the United States
    B. foreign language study needs improving in English-speaking countries
    C. bilingualism is seen as something special and unique all over the world
    D. English-speaking countries do better than others in foreign language study
    4. The text is most probably a ______.
    A. science fiction storyB. newspaper ad
    C. book reviewD. science news report
    參考答案及解析
    【答案】 (1)C (2)B (3)B (4)D
    【解析】(1)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段可知，學雙語的人不一定比別人更聰明，但是在某些技能方面可能會做得更好。在控制他們的注意力方面學雙語的人就做得比較好。由此可知C項正確。
    (2)細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段第二句話“Researchers say bilingual children are better able to separate a word from its meaning，and more likely to have friends from different cultures.”可知，學雙語的孩子更可能與不同文化的人交朋友。所以答案應該是B項。A項文中沒有提及;C項是對原文的曲解;D項應該是“separate a word from its meaning”才正確。
    (3)推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“...English-speaking countries are still far behind the rest of the world.”可知，說英語的國家在外語學習方面落后于世界其他地方，所以需要提高。同時也說明D項是錯誤的。根據(jù)最后一句“...in many other parts of the world being bilingual is just seen as a natural part of life.”可知A和C項錯誤。
    (4)推理判斷題。整篇文章講的是根據(jù)研究說雙語的人在某些方面可能會具有優(yōu)勢。所以這篇文章應該是一份科學新聞報告。
    2019年6月CET4閱讀理解練習(2)
    My husband is a lord.We have one house in the countryside and one in London.I spend my days running the household.I oversee servants' work and my three daughters' education：They learn to play piano，sing，and dance.There are so many rules to follow. For example，I must always be polite and calm.I have to wear proper clothes.
    Maid
    I was born on a farm in the north of England，but my family couldn't support me.My cousin helped me get a job as a maid in a big，fancy London house.There is so much work to do and some rules to follow here.Monday is washing day.I have to get up earlier than usual—about 4：30 am—to heat the water，wash and iron the clothes.The work is hard and I earn about $ 50 a year.But my master spends $ 1000 a year on his carriage alone.
    Gentleman
    I'm a lawyer living in London.But I'm in love with a servant，because she's not like her own class at all，but like mine.When I take her to theatres，we meet outside，pretend not to know each other and enter by a side door.I have to maintain my honour as rules.I want to marry my girl，but maybe only in secret.
    Factory man
    I've been working in factories since I was 10.Right now，I make iron for the railroad. It's 14 hours a day from 5：30 am to 7：30 pm.It's hard work，but at least I have my freedom despite the fact that there are so many rules，and I have to wear a uniform.
    These days，I like to have a drink and smoke my pipe in the pub with my friends from work.I go in there a couple of times a week if I can，to discuss politics，find out news and listen to music.
    1. What may be the title for the first paragraph?
    A. HousewifeB. LadyC. WomanD. Owner
    2. According to the passage，it's implied that ______.
    A. as a lord's wife，she must be polite and calm
    B. the maid has a busier day on weekends
    C. the factory man is quite satisfied with his present job
    D. people from different classes then couldn't be married
    3. The four persons give a glimpse of lives of ______.
    A. low society of LondonB. top classes of London
    C. typical LondonersD. Londoners from all corners
    參考答案及解析
    【答案】 (1)B (2)D (3)C
    【解析】(1)推理判斷題。根據(jù)本段的大意，可確定刻畫的是有身份的女士，故選B項。
    (2)推理判斷題。A項為原文信息，而不是暗示;B項與原文“Monday is washing day”不符;根據(jù)最后一部分的描述可得知the factory man 并不是很滿意目前的工作;故根據(jù)第三部分的gentleman只能偷偷地與心愛的女友結合，可推斷出D項符合題意。
    (3)主旨大意題。本文通過對四位不同社會層次、不同身份職業(yè)的人物的描寫，反映了當時倫敦的一個大致的社會生活面貌，雖不夠全面，但比較有代表性，故選C項。
