2015年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀高頻考點(diǎn)：轉(zhuǎn)折邏輯處

　　四六級(jí)大綱在閱讀理解部分都指出：測(cè)試學(xué)生通過(guò)閱讀獲取書(shū)面信息的能力。因此，為了有針對(duì)性的考查大家對(duì)書(shū)面信息的獲取能力，經(jīng)過(guò)對(duì)歷年真題的歸納總結(jié)發(fā)現(xiàn)，四六級(jí)考點(diǎn)出處有一定特征。其中第一大特征就是在邏輯關(guān)系處出考題。

　　通過(guò)做歷年的四級(jí)閱讀真題大家也能發(fā)現(xiàn)，最常見(jiàn)的考點(diǎn)出處就是轉(zhuǎn)折處出考題。常見(jiàn)轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)聯(lián)詞有：but, however, yet, nevertheless, while(然而), on the contrary等等。下面結(jié)合真題，大家可以詳細(xì)的回顧一下。

　　例：I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon (勤雜工) plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I’d be sitting at their table, waiting to be served.

　　54. How did the author feel when waiting tables at the age of 19?

　　A. She felt it unfair to be treated as a mere servant by professional.

　　B. She felt badly hurt when her customers regarded her as a peon.

　　C. She was embarrassed each time her customers joked with her.

　　D. She found it natural for professionals to treat her as inferior.

　　【答案】D

　　【解析】作者19歲時(shí)在飯店當(dāng)招待員，對(duì)于不被顧客尊重，她的看法是“deserved inferior treatment”，即“低人一等是理所當(dāng)然的”。換句話(huà)說(shuō)，作者覺(jué)得有專(zhuān)業(yè)技能的人看低她是十分自然的事，即D選項(xiàng)所述。

　　例：A few months ago, it wasn't unusual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15 hours per day online. She'd wake up early, turn on her laptop and chat on Internet dating sites and instant-messaging programs – leaving her bed for only brief intervals. Her household bills piled up, along with the dishes and dirty laundry, but it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem.(2010.6, cet4 )

　　51. What eventually made Carla Toebe realize she was spending too much time on the Internet?

　　A. The poorly managed state of her house.

　　B. The high financial costs adding up.

　　C. Fatigue resulting from lack of sleep.

　　D. Her daughter's repeated complaints.

　　【答案】D

　　【解析】本段主要描述了Carla Toebe因上網(wǎng)嚴(yán)重影響到生活，最后一句后半句通過(guò)轉(zhuǎn)折指出，是她4個(gè)女兒的不停抱怨才讓她最終意識(shí)到自己有了問(wèn)題(had a problem)，而這一問(wèn)題正是題干中提到的“spending too much time on the Internet”。
