 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 大学英语四级分类模拟题92 Reading Comprehension Halloween A. On October 31st, dozens of children dressed in costumes knock on their neighbors' doors and yell \"Trick or Treat\" when the door opens. Pirates and princesses, ghosts and popular heroes of the day all hold bags open to catch the candy or other goodies that the neighbors drop in. As they give each child a treat, the neighbors exclaim over the costumes and try to guess who is under the masks. Since the 800's November 1st is a religions holiday known as All Saints' Day. The Mass that was said on this day was called Allhallowmas. The evening before became known as All Hakki-we'en, or Halloween. Like some other American celebrations, its origins lie in both pre-Christian and Christian customs. B. October 31st was the eve of the Celtic new year. The Celts were the ancestors of the present-day Irish, Welsh and 1 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 Scottish people. On this day ghosts walked and mingled with the living, or so the Celts thought. The townspeople baked food all that day and when night fell they dressed up and tried to resemble the souls of the dead. Hoping that the ghosts would leave peacefully before midnight of the new year. Much later, when Christianity spread throughout Ireland and October 31st was no longer the last day of the year, Halloween became a celebration mostly for children. \"Ghosts\" went from door to door asking for treats, or else a trick would be played on the owners of the house. When millions of Irish people immigrated to the United States in the 1840s the tradition came with them. C. Today school dances and neighborhood parties called \"block parties\" are popular among young and old alike. More and more adults celebrate Halloween. They dress up like historical or political figures and go to masquerade parties (化装舞会). In larger cities, costumed children and their parents gather at shopping malls early in the evening. Stores and businesses give parties with games and treats for the children. Teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more outrageous the costume the better! Certain pranks (恶作剧) such as soaping car windows and tipping over garbage 2 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 cans are expected. But partying and pranks are not the only things that Halloweeners enjoy doing. Some collect money to buy food and medicine for needy children around the world. D. Halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits. Witches flying on broomsticks with black cats, ghosts, goblins (小精灵) and skeletons have all evolved as symbols of Halloween. They are popular trick-or-treat costumes and decorations for greeting cards and windows. Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night. In the weeks before October 31st, Americans decorate windows of houses and schools with silhouettes (轮廓) of witches and black cats. E. Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween. The pumpkin is an orange-colored squash, and orange has become the other traditional Halloween color. Carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns is a Halloween custom also dating back to Ireland. A legend grew up about a man named Jack who was so mean that he was not allowed into heaven when he died, because he was a miser (吝啬鬼). He couldn't enter hell either because he had played jokes on the devil. As a result, Jack had to walk the earth with his lantern until Judgement Day. The 3 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 Irish people carved scary faces out of turnips (芜菁根), beets (甜菜根) or potatoes representing \"Jack of the Lantern,\" or Jack-o'-lantern. When the Irish brought their customs to the United States, they carved faces, on pumpkins because in the autumn they were more plentiful than turnips. Today jack-o'-lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are goodie (糖果) waiting if they knock and say \"Trick or Treat!\" Dried Pumpkin Seeds F. After carving your pumpkin, separate the pulp from the seeds. Rinse the seeds and spread them out to dry. The next day, add enough melted butter or margarine (人造黄油) to coat each seed. Spread the seeds onto a cookie sheet (甜酥饼干) and bake for 20 minutes in a 300 degree oven or until they are slightly brown. Caramel (饴糖) Apples G. Take the paper wrapping off about 100 caramels and put them in a saucepan (炖锅). Put the saucepan over a pan of boiling water. Boil the water until the caramels melt. Put a wooden stick into the top of each apple, dip the apple into the caramel. Let them cool on wax paper and enjoy! Scary stories H. No Halloween party is complete without at least one 4 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 scary story. Usually one person talks in a low voice while everyone else crowds together on the floor or around a fire. The following is a retelling of a tale told in Britain and in North Carolina and Virginia. I. There was an old woman who lived all by herself, and she was very lonely. Sitting in the kitchen one night, she said, \"Oh, I wish I had some company.\" No sooner had she spoken than down the chimney tumbled two feet from which the flesh had rotted. The old woman's eyes bulged with terror. Then two legs dropped to the hearth (壁炉地面) and attached themselves to the feet. Then a body tumbled down, then two arms, and a man's head. As the old woman watched, the parts came together into a great, tall man. The man danced around and around the room. Faster and faster he went. Then he stopped, and he looked into her eyes. \"What do you come for?\" She asked in a small voice that shivered and shook. \"What do I come for?\" he said. \"I come for YOU!\" The narrator shouts and jumps at the person near him! 1. Besides attending parties and playing tricks, people also collect money for the needy children in Halloween. 答案:C[解析] 本题与万圣节的传统有关，故应定位在全文的前三段。再根据关键词collect money及needy children可定位至C段最后 5 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 两句。该部分提到，人不仅仅在万圣节开舞会和恶作剧，同时也为世界各地贫困的孩子筹钱，这与本题所述相符，故确定C正确。 2. The windows of a house decorated with jack-o'-lanterns mean children can get candies from the house. 答案:E[解析] 本题的关键词jack-o'-lanterns“南瓜灯”是万圣节的象征，文章的D、E段有关万圣节的象征，故定位锁定在这两段。其中E段最后一句提到，房子的窗户挂上南瓜灯是为了让装扮了的孩子知道他们有糖果可以领，与本题所述相符，故E段为本题出处。 3. Halloween was celebrated at night, which made black one traditional Halloween color. 答案:D[解析] 本题与万圣节的传统象征相关，定位应锁定在D、E段之间。再根据black可定位至D段倒数第2句。该句提到，黑色是万圣节的传统颜色，可能是因为万圣节的庆祝活动是在晚上，这与原文所述相符，故为D为答案。 4. October 31st was originally celebrated as the eve of the Celtic new year. 答案:B[解析] 本题有关万圣节的起源，文章只有前三段出现相关内容，故答案锁定在这部分。再根据时间名词October 31st迅速定位至B段首句。原文提到10月31日是凯尔特人的新年除夕，故本题答案为B。 5. When the neighbors give the child candies, they would try to shout out to guess who is under the masks. 6 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 答案:A[解析] 本题有关万圣节的传统，应该在A至C段中定位。再根据guess who is under the masks可定位至A段第3句，该句提到当邻居“款待”小孩时，他们会尝试猜到底面具下的人是谁，这与本所述相符，故为答案。 6. The storyteller in Halloween party talks in low voice to create the scary atmosphere. 答案:H[解析] 本题是万圣节的恐怖故事有关，据此可将定位锁定在小标题Scary stories下的H及I段。其中H段说没有恐怖故事的万圣节派对是不完整的。在派对上，当人们挤在一起席地而坐或围着篝火而坐时，通常就有人低声讲起恐怖故事来。由此可见用低沉的声音讲恐怖故事是为了营造恐怖气氛，故题目所述与原文相符。 7. Before the Irish people moved to America, they celebrated Halloween by carving faces on turnips, beets or potatoes. 答案:E[解析] 根据难词turnips及beets可快速定位至E段倒数第3句。该句提到爱尔兰人在turnips，beets，potatoes和pumpkins上雕刻面孔的做法，而倒数第2句的时间状语从句表明爱尔兰人在移居到美国之后，开始把面孔雕刻在南瓜上，故题目所述与原文信息一致。 8. The Halloween tradition was brought to the United States by Irish immigrants. 答案:B[解析] 本题与万圣节的传统及来源有关，故应将定位锁定在前三段。根据关键词United States及Irish immigrants可定位至B 7 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 段最后一句。该句提到，19世纪40年代，上百万的爱尔兰人移居美国，而这一传统(指万圣节传统)也被他们带到了美国。 9. When making caramel apples, boiling water is used to melt the caramels. 答案:G[解析] 根据题目中的caramel apples可快速定位至小标题Caramel Apples下的G段。该段提到将炖锅放在盛有沸水的平底锅上，一直加热，直至饴糖融化，故本题沸水是用来融化饴糖的说法与本段信息相符，答案为G。 10. When adults go to masquerade parties, they wear costumes which make them look like historical or political figures. 答案:C[解析] 本题与万圣节的舞会有关，属于万圣节的习俗，故可将范围缩小至A至C段。再根据关键词historical or political figures可快速定位至C段第3句，该句说他们装扮成历史或政治人物去化装舞会，这与本题所述一致，故C段为本题出处。 Secrets of Grade-A Parents A. When Carey Graham started Grade One, he got a very special teacher. \"She recognized my passion for learning,\" says the now 20-year-old. \"Every morning we'd sit down with workbooks and do writing and math exercises. And any time during the day, she could always be counted on to read to me. She always encouraged me to learn all I could about 8 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 everything.\" This extraordinary teacher was his morn, Jeanne Lambert, who homeschooled Graham until high school. He's now in his second year in the University of Toronto's Peace and Conflict Studies program, having received a provincial \"Aiming for the Top\" scholarship. Graham is considering a law degree or a master's in political science down the road. He attributes his academic success to the foundation laid by his parents. B. \"You can't be a parent without being a teacher,\" says Bruce Arai, a professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario. \"Perhaps the most important teaching in a child's life is done by his parents, not by some professional with certificates,\" he says. Homeschooling isn't about sitting your kids down in the kitchen and teaching them in the formal sense, says Arai, but about \"making sure the resources and opportunities for learning are available to them.\" And that, any parent can do. Here, then, are some methods that parents who would never consider homeschooling can pick up from those who do. Lesson 1 Think Outside the Classroom C. When homeschooler Kerri Paquette, a mother of six, was building a house in Lansdowne, she saw it as a learning 9 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 opportunity. \"They learned math as we measured, about soil as we dug the foundation, about water while we did the plumbing, and about electricity when we did the electrical work. My children make the subjects come alive as much I do,\" says Paquette. Her kids, aged three to 13, continue to view the world as their classroom. They study food and plant growth through their organic garden. They learn about cows by talking to the neighboring farmers. And they learn math, measuring and science while helping Paquette cook. \"The other day my nine-year-old, Maddison, started learning a new educational computer program. The section on fractions was all new, but she knew it from when we bake.\" Every activity, says Paquette, can include a lesson. Lesson 2 Eliminate Learning Limits D. A teacher with a class of 25 students can't continue a unit on, say, the body just because one child is still keen—but you can. \"We don't have a time frame that restricts our investigations, and we don't have a daily schedule,\" says Linda Clement, who homeschools her two daughters in Victoria. When her 14-year-old showed an interest in the human body, the curious student read dozens of relevant books and surfed web sites. Janet's curiosity took her in all sorts of directions: a 10 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 dictionary of poisons and antidotes, an encyclopedia of medicine, books about human personality and much more. E. The benefit to your child goes beyond a thorough knowledge of a subject. Studying deeply a topic builds independent research skills and a love of learning. \"If my children are interested in a subject,\" says Clement, \"we can go as far into the subject, answering as many questions as they have, for as long as is necessary. This freedom encourages their investigations.\" Lesson 3 Teach Your Kids Their Way F. Some children are visual learners (they absorb best when they see something), some are auditory (they need to hear it), some are kinesthetic (they need hands-on experience) and some are a combination. Uncovering how your child learns best will increase your effectiveness in helping him or her with schoolwork. Unsure of your child's learning style? Ask his teacher. G. The way Melissa Cowl's six children, aged three to 15, pick up on math highlights the great differences in learning styles. \"Our ten-year-old, Matthew, needs everything in black and white: Tell him what to do and how to do it, and it's done,\" says the mother. \"He had a math text that was too colorful, 11 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 with a layout that was difficult to follow. I switched to a text that was more step-by-step, more concrete. Now he does math tests with no trouble. Our eight-year-old, Ryan, however, is very hands-on. For math, he uses a variety of colorful pens to figure out things like addition and fractions. He needs to see it and feel it. Not one of my kids learns the same way as the others.\" Lesson 4 Let Them See You Learn H. One of the best parts of homeschooling is that you can continue your own education—and your kids can see you doing it and pick up on your love of learning. The same principle can be applied by any parent. \"Learning never ends,\" says Julia Goforth, a homeschooling mother of four. \"We try new things all the time, whether I'm reading something new or we're all tasting foods we'd never normally eat.\" Reversing the roles also has benefits, giving kids a sense of pride in their own newfound knowledge. \"Today my 12-year-old daughter, Denise, explained to me how she figured out a math problem. She'd wound up with the right answer, but I didn't understand how she managed it,\" says homeschooler Gina Rozon of La Ronge, Sask. \"Our kids are teaching us all the time.\" I. Learning doesn't always go smoothly, for kids and adults 12 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 alike, which is why it's important for children to see their parents struggle with something new. \"My children watched me turn my life around by trying new things,\" says Goforth. \"I went from being a fearful, stay-at-home mom to an adventurous artist's model and public speaker. Learning belly dance and play the violin is on my to-do list this year.\" Lesson 5 \"Own\" Your Children's Education J. \"Helping them isn't about showing your kids how to do the work. It's about being genuinely interested and having regular conversations about what they're learning,\" says J. Gary Knowles, a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. Rozon has many suggestions for how to get more involved. \"Get to know the teacher. Discuss ways to design the assignments to your child's learning style. Spend time in the classroom. Ask for outlines of unit studies so you can find additional materials at the library or through videos. Read your child's textbooks: If you work a few pages ahead, you'll be able to help them with problems they encounter.\" K. Reading is another must, says Rozon. \"Even after your children can read themselves, hearing somebody else read aloud is important. We nearly always bring a book wherever we go; we read for at least a half hour before bedtime.\" The 13 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 more engaged a parent is, the more the child benefits, adds Bruce Arai. \"The evidence is clear. Parental involvement is one of the most important factors in school success. The hours children spend in class are but one element of their education.\" 11. Children who learn best from hands-on participation can be classified as kinesthetic learners. 答案:F[解析] 题目中的关键词hands-on，kinesthetic在文中较为突出，可以直接定位在F段。该段主要讲因材施教的重要性，举例表明小孩获得最佳学习效果的方式各有不同，这包括视觉学习、听觉学习以及题目中提到的动手学习。 12. Seeing their parents struggle with something new can make the children understand that learning doesn't always go smoothly. 答案:I[解析] 题目后半部分learning doesn't always go smoothly与I段的第1句吻合，属于第四课“让他们看见你学习”所表现的第二个方面：让孩子看到父母艰难学习新东西是很重要的，因此答案选I。 13. Matthew had difficulty with math when the math text was too colorful. 答案:G[解析] Matthew是作为例子来说明第三课“因材施教”的，文中只有G段提到Matthew这个人物。题目后半部分与G段第3 14 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 句...a math text that was too colorful吻合。而该段第5句又表明换掉了花哨的数学课本而改用循序渐进的课本时，Matthew的数学测试“with no trouble”，这也可以从侧面反映出题目前半部分提到的had difficulty，故选G。 14. Graham thinks that his academic success is due to the foundation laid by his parents. 答案:A[解析] 根据Graham，直接定位A段。该段以Graham为例引出homeschooling的教学方法。本段最后一句的主语he即为Graham，意为“他将学业上的成功归咎于其父母给其打下的基础”，题目信息与此相符，故选A。 15. Parental engagement plays an important role in children's academic success. 答案:K[解析] 题目谈到Parental engagement，文中第5课与此相关，故可以将范围缩小至J段和K段。K段最后一句的Parental involvement对应题目中的主语，而其中的is one of...important factors则与题目的plays an important role in同义，故可知题目信息来源于此。 16. As for taking up homeschooling, it is suggested that the resources and chances for learning should be provided in homeschooling. 答案:B[解析] 根据题目的关键词resources and chances可以快速定位到B段第3句末尾，原文的resources and opportunities与 15 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 之同义，题干的be provided则对应原文的are available to，故选B。 17. While providing homeschooling for children, parents can also continue their own education. 答案:H[解析] 定位辞解跟“家庭教育”有关的信息主要出现在B段和H段。B段是大致介绍家庭教育的理念。而H段第1句则明确表明它的优点是——你能让你继续受教育(continue your own education)的同时，也会让孩子注意到你对学习的热爱。题目所述与此相同，故选H。 18. According to Rozon's suggestion, reading a few pages ahead of your children's textbooks enables you to help them with problems better. 答案:J[解析] Rozon主要出现在H段以及第五课的J、K段。快速浏览这几段，可以在J段最后一句找到题目中提到的a few pages和help...with problems等词，由此可知，题目信息来自于J段。 19. Getting a thorough knowledge of a particular subject can bring a lot of benefits to your child. 答案:E[解析] 题目关键词a thorough knowledge属于第二课“消除学习的限制”里谈到的内容：对于小孩子的好处不仅仅是全面了解一门科目，深入学习一门课程也培养了孩子的独立研究技能和对学习的热爱。题目信息与此相符，故选E。 20. Julia Goforth believes that learning never ends, so she is 16 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 going to learn belly dance and play the violin this year. 答案:I[解析] 文中只有一个地方提到belly dance，故要找出本题的出处并不难。I段最后1句表示学跳肚皮舞和弹小提琴在我今年要学习的目录之中，这里的my指的就是上句提到的Goforth，故选I。 A Nice Cup of Tea The Legendary Origins of Tea A. The story of tea began in ancient China over 5,000 years ago. According to legend, Shen Nung, an early emperor was a skilled ruler, creative scientist and lover of the arts. One summer day while visiting a distant region of his realm, he and the court stopped to rest. The servants began to boil water for the court to drink. Dried leaves from the nearby bush fell into the boiling water, and a brown liquid was infused into the water. As a scientist, the Emperor was interested in the new liquid, drank some, and found it very refreshing. And so, according to legend, tea was created. B. Tea consumption spread throughout the Chinese culture reaching into every aspect of the society. In 800 A.D. Lu Yu wrote the first definitive book on tea, the Ch'a Ching. This amazing man was an orphan and raised by scholarly Buddhist monks in one of China's finest monasteries. However, as a young man, he rebelled against the discipline of priestly 17 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 training which had made him a skilled observer. His fame as a performer increased with each year, but he felt his life lacked meaning. Finally, in mid-life, he retired for five years into seclusion. Drawing from his vast memory of observed events and places, he codified (编撰) the various methods of tea cultivation and preparation in ancient China. The vast definitive nature of his work, projected him into near sainthood within his own lifetime. Patronized by the Emperor himself, his work clearly showed the Zen Buddhist philosophy to which he was exposed as a child. It was this form of tea service that Zen Buddhist missionaries would later introduce to imperial Japan. Europe Learns of Tea C. While tea was at this high level of development in both Japan and China, information concerning this then unknown beverage began to filter back to Europe. Earlier caravan leaders had mentioned it, but were unclear as to its service format or appearance. (One reference suggests the leaves be boiled, salted, buttered, and eaten!) The first European to personally encounter tea and write about it was the Portuguese Jesuit Father Jasper de Cruz in 1560. Portugal, with her technologically advanced navy, had been successful in 18 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 gaining the first right of trade with China. It was as a missionary on that first commercial mission that Father de Cruz had tasted tea four years before. D. The Portuguese developed a trade route by which they shipped their tea to Lisbon, and then Dutch ships transported it to France, Holland, and the Baltic countries. (At that time Holland was politically affiliated with Portugal. When this alliance was altered in 1602, Holland, with her excellent navy, entered into full Pacific trade in her own right.) Great Britain was the last of the three great sea-faring nations to break into the Chinese and East Indian trade routes. This was due in part to the unsteady ascension to the throne of the Stuarts and the Cromwellian Civil War. The first samples of tea reached England between 1652 and 1654. Tea quickly proved popular enough to replace ale as the national drink of England. E. As in Holland, it was the nobility that provided the necessary stamp of approval and so insured its acceptance. King Charles II had married, while in exile, the Portuguese Infanta Catherine de Braganza (1662). Charles himself had grown up in the Dutch capital. As a result, both he and his Portuguese bride were confirmed tea drinkers. When the monarchy was re-established, the two rulers brought this 19 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 foreign tea tradition to England with them. As early as 1600 Elizabeth I had founded the John Company for the purpose of promoting Asian trade. When Catherine de Braganza married Charles she brought as part of her dowry the territories of Tangier and Bombay. Suddenly, the John Company had a base of operations. F. Tea mania swept across England as it had earlier spread throughout France and Holland. Tea importation rose from 40,000 pounds in 1699 to an annual average of 240,000 pounds by 1708. Tea was drunk by all levels of society. G. Prior to the introduction of tea into Britain, the English had two main meals—breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was ale, bread and beef. Dinner was a long, massive meal at the end of the day. It was no wonder that Anna, the Duchess of Bedford (1788-1861) experienced a \"sinking feeling\" in the late afternoon. Adopting the European tea service format, she invited friends to join her for an additional afternoon meal at five o'clock in her rooms at Belvoir Castle. The menu centered around small cakes, bread and butter sandwiches, assorted sweets, and, of course, tea. This summer practice proved so popular, the Duchess continued it when she returned to London, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her 20 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 for \"tea and a walking the fields.\" (London at that time still contained large open meadows within the city.) The practice of inviting friends to come for tea in the afternoon was quickly picked up by other social hostesses. A common pattern of service soon merged. The first pot of tea was made in the kitchen and carried to the lady of the house who waited with her invited guests, surrounded by fine porcelain from China. The first pot was warmed by the hostess from a second pot (usually silver) that was kept heated over a small flame. Food and tea was then passed among the guests, the main purpose of the visiting being conversation. Tea Cuisine H. Tea cuisine quickly expanded in range to quickly include wafer thin crustless sandwiches, shrimp or fish paste, toasted breads with jams, and regional British pastries such as scones (Scottish) and crumpets (English). At this time two distinct forms of tea services evolved: \"High\" and \"Low\". \"Low\" Tea (served in the low part of the afternoon) was served in aristocratic homes of the wealthy and featured small delicious food rather than solid meals. The emphasis was on presentation and conversation. \"High\" Tea or \"Meat Tea\" was the main or \"High\" meal of the day. It was the major meal of 21 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 the middle and lower classes and consisted of mostly full dinner items such as roast beef, mashed potatoes, peas, and of course, tea. I. Tea was the major beverage served in the coffee houses, but they were so named because coffee arrived in England some years before tea. Exclusively for men, they were called \"Penny Universities\" because for a penny any man could obtain a pot of tea, a copy of the newspaper, and engage in conversation with the sharpest wits of the day. The various houses specialized in selected areas of interest, some serving attorneys, some authors, others the military. They were the forerunner of the English gentlemen's private club. One such beverage house was owned by Edward Lloyd and was favored by shipowners, merchants and marine insurers. That simple shop was the origin of Lloyd's, the worldwide insurance firm. Attempts to close the coffee houses were made throughout the eighteenth century because of the free speech they encouraged, but such measures proved so unpopular they were always quickly revoked. J. Experiencing the Dutch \"tavern garden teas\developed the idea of Tea Gardens. Here ladies and gentlemen took their tea out of doors surrounded by entertainment such 22 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 as orchestras, hidden arbors, flowered walks, bowling greens, concerts, gambling, or fireworks at night. It was at just such a Tea Garden that Lord Nelson, who defeated Napoleon by sea, met the great love of his life, Emma, later Lady Hamilton. Women were permitted to enter a mixed, public gathering for the first time without social criticism. As the gardens were public, British society mixed here freely for the first time, cutting across lines of class and birth. 21. Throughout the eighteenth century, coffee houses were once forced to close because they encouraged the free speech. 答案:I[解析] 根据题目的coffee houses和free speech可定位到I段。该段最后一句说到，咖啡馆里鼓励自由言论，在18世纪当局曾几次试图关闭咖啡馆，题目意思与此相同，故选I。 22. Before tea was shipped to England, its national drink was ale. 答案:D[解析] 根据题目的关键信息national drink，ale可定位到D段。该段最后两句谈到，第一批茶在运到英国后，迅速流行并代替麦芽啤酒成为英国的国饮，题目信息与此相符。 23. The practice of arranging an additional afternoon meal, raised by Anna, was soon spread to other social hostesses. 答案:G[解析] 根据题目中的人名Anna可定位到G段，该段倒数第5句的The practice...picked up by...与题目的The practice...spread 23 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 to...表达的意思相近，故选G。 24. The coffee houses, also called \"Penny Universities\offered tea as the major beverage. 答案:I[解析] 根据题目的专有名词“Penny Universities”可定位到I段，该段首句提到，茶是咖啡馆主要的饮品，而第2句提到咖啡馆被称为Penny Universities，结合这两句，即为题目信息。 25. A tea service called \"Low\" tea was provided in aristocratic homes of the wealthy in the afternoon. 答案:H[解析] H段介绍了“高”茶和“低”茶两种不同的饮茶形式。题目跟该段第3句的意思相同，只是将原文的served改为了provided，故选H。 26. When Lu Yu was a child, he was greatly influenced by the Buddhist philosophy. 答案:B[解析] 根据题目中的人名Lu Yu可定位到B段。该段倒数第2句中说到，陆羽在《茶经》中明显表露出了他在孩童时代就接触到的禅宗哲学，由此可看出他他在孩童时代就深受佛学的影响，故选B。 27. It was in the Tea Garden that British society mixed freely for the first time, regardless of class and birth. 答案:J[解析] 根据关键词Tea Garden不难定位到J段，该段最后一句表示在茶园各阶层可以自由交流，其中across lines of class and birth对应题目中的regardless of class and birth，故选J。 28. In order to improve Asian trade, Queen Elizabeth I 24 / 25 [大学英语考试复习资料]大学英语四级分类模拟题92 established the John Company. 答案:E[解析] 根据题目中的Queen Elizabeth I，John Company等关键词可定位到E段，该段倒数第3句提到，伊丽莎白一世成立约翰公司以促进亚洲贸易，由此可看出题目信息来自本段，应选E。 29. Tea, drunk by all levels of society, swept across England quickly as it landed in the country. 答案:F[解析] 根据题目的关键信息all levels of society，swept across England可定位到F段。F段第一句就表明了茶在英国的狂热形势，再结合F段最后一句的内容即为本题的意思。 30. A Portuguese priest was the first person to write about tea in Europe. 答案:C[解析] 根据Portuguese以及he first person可迅速定位到C段，该段倒数第8句中的Father指的是“神父”，题目的priest是对其的同义改写。 25 / 25
