大學四級考試閱讀訓練題答案
26.答案C。本題可用排除法。根據第一段可知創造力的含 義是“使事物產生”，“致使事物存在”。而它三個方面的表現可參考“短文大意”，據此，C為正確答案。
27.答案B。此題的解答需要在理解文章大意及細節基礎上進行。選項B意為“創造力在一定程度上取決于非凡的洞察力。”根據最后一段，可知這是一種“天賦”，故正確。這樣就可確定B為正確答案。
28.答案C。此題可在正確理解句子含義的基礎上采取“排除法”來解答。根據上下文可以得知：此句的真正含義是“任何新事物的產生都是建立在原有事物基礎之上的”。據此，A項認為“我們很少能創造新事物”，顯然只是句子的字面意思，不正確。B項“創造新事物 是一個神話”，也為字面理解。再看C項“只有在原有事物基礎之上才能創造新事物”，這不正是我們分析得出的結論嗎?而D項“我們幾乎不可能看到新事物”，更是差之甚遠。這樣就 可確定C項為正確答案無疑。
29.答案C。先找有關細節。此問題涉及到對文章第三段最 后一句的理解。作者認為“獲得新思想并不意味著就能夠將其付諸實踐，暗含“知易行難”的意義。這樣，我們就可對 選項進行分析選棄了。這樣就可確定C 為正確答案無疑。

大學四級考試閱讀訓練題(二)
When I was studying at Yale, some phenomena puzzled me greatly. I found that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.
I was impressed by the role of the professor in the seminar(討論會). The professor didn’t act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a reseac her looking for answers to questions together with the students. One lingui stic(語言的) feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal(情態的) verbs—far more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he usually said, “This is my personal opinion and it could be wrong.” or “You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting.”
In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct di rections. Therefore, students always expect the professor to give an answer to th e question. I still remember how frustrated they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher than that of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they w ere sure about it.
Education in China is valued for united thinking. I remember American teachers who taught in our university complaining about the fact that Chinese students u niformly expressed the same idea in their English composition. The examinations in America usually do not test a student’s ability to memorize the material but his ability to analyze and solve problems. Education in America is valued not on ly as a means to obtain employment but as a process of enhancing critical thinking.
31.In the USA, when the students are in class, ____.
A.a Chinese student tends to be very active B.an American student likes to make trouble
C.a Chinese student likes to puzzle the teacher D.an American student tends to be vigorous
32.A teacher in the USA prefers to ____ when he answers questions.
A.be very sincere B.be very direct
C.be very self confident D.be very indifferent
33.What is the opinion of the author concerning the difference of teachin g methods between China and the USA?
A.He thinks that Chinese teaching metods can make students learn more.
B.He holds that the major purpose of Chinese teaching methods is to impro ve students’ remembrance.
C.He thinks that American teaching is ability oriented.
D.He holds that American teachers hate to give a test.
34.The author thinks that the relationship between the student and the te acher is ____.
A.more intimate in China B.closer in China C.looser in USA D.more harmonious in USA
35.The education in USA may produce some ____ graduates.
A.talkative B.conventional C.creative D.imaginative
大學四級考試閱讀訓練題答案
31.答案D。在文章中找到有關的細節為解此題的關鍵。從文章第一段的最后兩句可得知“中國留學生在課堂上表現很有禮貌和節制，而美國學生則非常主動和活躍。”據此看D項 “美國學生經 常表現得非常活躍”，正是我們與作者得出的結論，所以是選項無疑。解答此題也給了我們一個啟示：某些干擾項迷惑性很大，不能一眼識別，所以在選擇時可能需要進行反復比較思考 ，方能斷定其正確與否。
32.答案A。文章第二段是解答問題的關鍵。此段主要談論 “美國教授在上課時扮演的是與學生平等的角色”，并介紹了“這種情況的種種表現”。現在，我們來看選項。A項“ 非常誠懇”，符合事實，先標出，看有沒有更合適的。B項“非常直接”，顯然不對，即使 美國老師語氣委婉，也只是“不直接”。C項意為“非常自信”，文章沒有提到這一點，也不能選。再看D項“非常冷淡”，更是荒謬。這樣也就只能選A。
33.答案C。解答此類題目，首先也必須象解答“有關文章主要內容題目”一樣，首先應掌握全文的主旨和大意，據此才能在理解作者觀點時，不致管中窺豹，以致偏頗。迅速通讀全文，可知作者意在抨擊中國教育方式的弊端。這樣，作者的觀點也就昭然若揭了。現在看選項。C項“美國教育重在培養學生能力”。 作者在對中國教育抨擊的同時，也對美國教育的某些做法表示贊成，而這一點正是作者對美國教育考查后得出的結論之一，所以正確。
34.答案D。推理(斷)題屬于要求較高的題型。它要求學生不僅能正確理解文章(或某些細節)，也要能據此進一步推測其中暗含的意思。D項說“美國師生之間關系和諧”，正合作者的看法，所以只能選D。
35.答案C。此題的問題太寬泛，只能根據選項，結合文章，進行取舍。C項是“具有創造力的”，美國平 等式的、自由、寬松的教育方式，鼓勵學生培養獨立分析、解決問題的能力，這樣培養出來的學生勢必多具有“創造力”，符合事實。所以選項為C。
