12月英语四级阅读理解真题及答案2
Among the more colorful characters of Leadville’s golden age were H.A.W.Tabor and his second wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as “Baby Doe”. Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West. Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont. With his first wife and two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 to homestead in Kansas. Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking, or perhaps he was lured by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines. At any rate, a few years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. “Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here.” he said.
As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville’s fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco.『It was his custom to “grubstake” prospective miners, in other words, to sup* them with food and supplies, or“grub”, while they looked for ore, in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered.』①He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.
Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for “grub”. Tabor had decided to quit sup*ing it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. “Oh help yourself. One more time won’t make any difference,” He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountain side and began to dig. After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the “Pittsburgh Mine,” made 1 300 000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment.
Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117 000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35 000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieutenant governor of the state.
1. Leadville got its name for the following reasons EXCEPT ______.
A. because Tabor became its leading citizen
B. because great deposits of lead is expected to be found there
C. because it could bring good fortune to Tabor
D. because it was renamed
2. The word “grubstake” in paragraph 2 means ______.
A. to sup* miners with food and supplies
B. to open a general store
C. to do one’s contribution to the development of the mine
D. to sup* miners with food and supplies and in return get a share in the mine, if one was discovered
3. Tabor made his first fortune ______.
A. by sup*ing two prospective miners and getting in return a one-third interest in the findings
B. because he was persuaded by the two miners to quit sup*ing
C. by buying the shares of the other
D. as a land speculator
4. The underlying reason for Tabor’s life career is ______.
A. purely accidental
B. based on the *ysis of miner’s being very poor and their possibility of discovering profitable mining site
C. through the help from his second wife
D. he planned well and accomplished targets step by step
5. If this passage is the first part of an article ,who might be introduced in the following part?
A. Tabor’s life.
B. Tabor’s second wife, Elizabeth McCourt.
C. Other colorful characters.
D. Tabor’s other careers.
答案解析:
1. C 细节题。因为Leadville可以为Tabor带来巨富。这一点不是Leadville得名的原因，因为在文章第二段中，讲到这一点时，提及三个原因：A.因为Tabor成为当地的居民代表人物，B.因为在Leadville有丰富的铅的储藏量。D.因为Leadville是因为Tabor重要而起的名。
2. D 词汇题。第二段中grubstake的词义与D所述内容是相同的，即“供给探矿者资金，衣物，食品以及其他物品”。
3. A 细节题。Tabor第一次真正发财是他为两名矿工提供资助，为此他获得他们矿资源三分之一的股份。见文章第三段4-9行内容：两名开矿者从Tabor那儿借走价值17美元的物品，作为回报，Tabor获得他们矿资源三分之一股份。于是两位开矿者在一座山旁的不毛之地开始挖掘，九天之后，发现了银的富矿，于是Tabor又将两人的股份全买下，这样，银矿属于Tabor一个人所有，这个矿就是后来著名的“匹兹堡”矿。Tabor用17美元的投资换来了130万美元的收获。
4. B 推断题。由原文可知泰勃的财产来源是有一定偶然性的，但是毕竟也是基于他开创“grubstake”模式，因为A、D都不对，C更是没有根据，因为他还没有娶第二位夫人这一切就发生了。分析泰勃的做法，会得出B选项所示的结论。
5. B 推断题。如果本文是一篇文章的第一部分，那么在文章的第二部分将介绍谁呢?可以从文章第一句分析出来，在Leadville的黄金年代，其多彩的特点当中，Tabor及其第二任妻子Elizabeth McCourt是值得大书特书的，接着，文章都在讲述有关H.A.W.Tabor发家致富的历史，如先买下匹兹堡矿，后又买下Matchless矿，最后成为*，代理州长，等等，所以涉及到的全是男主人公，因此下边再讲的话，应成为女主人公即Elizabeth McCourt的天地了，她是Tabor的第二任妻子。这是顺理成章的事。

原文
Beer recipes change over time. Hops, for example—which give many a modern brewski its bitter, citrusy flavor—are a relatively recent addition to the beverage, first mentioned in reference to brewing in the ninth century. Now, researchers have found a surprising ingredient in residue from 5000-year-old beer brewing equipment. While excavating two pits at a site in the central plains of China, scientists discovered pottery fragments from pots, funnels, amphorae, and stoves (stove fragment pictured). The different shapes of the containers suggest they were used to brew, filter, and store beer—they may be ancient “beer-making toolkits,” and the earliest direct evidence of beer brewing in China, the researchers report online today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. To test that hypothesis, the team examined the yellowish, dried dregs inside the vessels. about a third of the starch grains they found were pitted, swollen, folded, or distorted—types of mangling that can occur during the malting and mashing needed to make beer. The majority of the grains—about 80%—were from cereal crops like millet and barley, and about 10% were bits of tubers, including yam and lily, which would have sweetened the brew, the scientists say. Barley was an unexpected find: The crop was domesticated in western Eurasia and didn’t become a staple food in central China until about 2000 years ago, according to the researchers. based on that timing, they suggest barley may have arrived in the region not as food, but as fodder for brewing beer.

The Most Impressive Classmate in My College
Without question, Lisa is the person who has influenced my college life most. She is my classmate, who always leaves a deep impression on you by demonstrating her passion for life and the spirit of never yielding, even in the face of extreme challenges. She is the most courageous person I have ever known。
During my college years, it is Lisa that kept teaching me how to live through setbacks in the life journey. I’ll never forget that when I failed in my English examination and I felt overwhelmed, Lisa taught me that failure teaches success, everyone had to persevere and face up to innumerable setbacks, as long as I face my problems bravely, I would create my own wonderful life . With her help , I finally gained the confidence and passed the exam。
Thanks to Lisa, I have learned the importance of courage, which is the indispensable characteristic in my life. She also let me know the importance of confidence. It means a lot to me and still in my head till this day。
范文译文：
毫无疑问，Lisa是大学里对我影响最深的一名同学。她是我同桌，她对生活的激情以及面临极端困境时永不服输的.精神永远都能给人留下深刻的印象。她是我见过的最勇敢的女生。
在我的大学生涯中，是Lisa一直教导我如何面对生活中的挫折。我永远都不会忘记，当我没通过英语考试，灰心丧气时，是她教给我，失败是成功之母，每个人都会遇到无数的困难，都应坚持，只要我勇敢面对困难，我肯定能迎来自己美好的生活。在她的帮助下，我最终找回了自信，通过了考试。

The Most Impressive Campus Activity
Directions: From this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay about a camp activity that has benefited you most. You should state the reasons and write at least 120 words but more than 180 words。
As a college student, it is full of meaning to participate in various camps which are beneficial for us. Among the camps I involved before, the English Summer camp held by our university with a small group of Chinese college students as well as some friends from English Spoken countries made me the most impressive。
There are two factors for my belief. For one thing, I expanded my scope of knowledge for the lecture made by a professor of the Harvard University. Though I have been learning English for almost ten years, getting knowledge from foreign teachers can still be something inspiring. I really want to know about current English countries’ culture, such as education, economy, politics and so on. In this way I could know more about the world and it would help me make right decisions when I graduate from university whether going abroad for further study or not. And it would also help me understand more about our own country. The second reason for me is that the activities also changed me a lot, including English corner, English drama play, interesting knowledge competition and the like. Undis*dly, all these activities can not only help us learn more skills but improve our English。
In conclusion, it was my great pleasure to take part in this activity. I do believe that other kinds of outdoor activities would bring us a lot of advantages, so I would make effort to participate in such activities in the remaining years of my college study。

大学英语四级阅读练习题及参考答案1
Jordan Retirement
I am here to announce my retirement from the game of basketball. It won’t be another announcement to baseball or anything to that nature1.
Mentally, I’m exhausted; I don’t feel I have a challenge. Physically, I feel great. The last time in 1993 I had other agendas. I felt that I wanted to play baseball and I felt that at my age, it was a good opportunity and time to do it. And with the death of my father, and I was basically trying to deal with that.
Actually I talked to Jerry last year once the season ended and I told Jerry at that time, mentally, I was a little exhausted. I didn’t know if I would play next year. I wanted to put him on awareness so that he could possibly prepare going into next season. And Jerry, once we had our conversation, wanted me to take time as I did in 1993 to make sure that it was the right decision because it was going to be the final decision.
I retired the first time when Phil Jackson was the coach. And I think that even with Phil being the coach I would have had a tough time, mentally finding the challenge for myself. Although he can somehow present challenges for me. I don’t know if he could have presented the challenge for me to continue on to this season. Even though middle way of this season I wanted to continue to play a couple more years, but at the end of this season I was mentally drained and tired. So I can’t say that he would have restored that.
I will support the Chicago Bulls2. I think the game itself is a lot bigger than Michael Jordan. I’ve been given an opportunity by people before me, to name a few, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Doctor J, Jerry West. These guys played the game way before Michael Jordan was born and Michael Jordan came on the heels of3 all that activity. Mr Stern and what he’s done for the league, gave me an opportunity to play the game of basketball. I played it to the best I could play it; I tried to enhance the game itself. I’ve tried to be the best basketball player that I could be.
练习题：
Ⅰ. Fill in each blank with proper choice(s):
1. Before Michael Jordan are famous basketball players.
A. Kareem Abdul Jabbar B. Doctor J
C. Jerry West D. Yao Ming
2. Lillian tried to that no one in this world could live forever.
A. put him on awareness B. awareness
C. awared D. make aware
3. Physically, he is strong; , he is weak.
A. bodily B. mentally C. secretly D. quickly
Ⅱ. Question:
Who is the coach when Jordan wanted to retire the first time?
答案：
Ⅰ. 1. A. B. C 2. A 3 . B
Ⅱ. Phil Jackson.
参考译文：
乔丹退役演说
我在这里宣布从篮球场上退役, 而且这次退役后不会再去从事棒球或其他类似的运动。
由于精神上很疲惫, 我感到自己缺乏挑战力, 体力倒还不错。1993年那次退役时我有其他计划: 想打棒球, 我那个年纪正是从事棒球事业的极佳时机。父亲刚好去世了, 我只想尽力去面对这一切。
事实上, 去年赛季刚结束时, 我和杰里谈过一次。我告诉他我精神上有些疲惫, 不知下一年还能不能打。我想让他意识到这一点, 以便为下一赛季做准备。有一次我们谈到这个问题时, 杰里让我像1993 年那样慎重考虑, 以便做出明智的决定, 因为这将是最后决定。 第一次退役时的教练是费尔· 杰克逊。但我觉得即使本赛季他还担任教练, 我也会很困难, 我从内心已感受到了挑战。当然无论如何, 他都会给我一些应对方法的。我不知道他是否还有办法使我打完这一赛季。在本赛季中我还想着再打几年呢, 但当赛季结束时, 我却感觉精神枯竭, 疲惫。因此, 我确实不能说他会使我恢复精力。
我将支持芝加哥公牛队, 我认为比赛本身比迈克尔· 乔丹重要得多。我的很多机会都是篮球前辈们给的: 贾巴尔, J 博士, 韦思特等等。这些人早在乔丹出生前就在赛场龙腾虎跃了。迈克尔· 乔丹只不过是继承了他们的传统。斯特恩先生以及他为联盟做出的贡献给了我打篮球的机会。我已尽我最大能力打球, 我想努力推动运动本身的发展。我一直在努力, 尽我所能成为最好的球员。

Sex In The Symphony
Say what you will about the liberties the bond string quartet takes with a piece of classical music, you can’t fault its sexually charged performances for being off key. 1 Off color, yes. A bond concert is a melodic lap dance: the four sylphs do energetic things with their orchestral instruments, not to mention their hips, which would compel Stradivari to order an exorcism. 2 One does not learn to straddle a cello that way at a conservatory.
Ever since Thai-Chinese violin sensation Vanessa-Mae was featured on a 1995 album cover as if she had just won a wet-nightgown competition, record companies have been prowling3 for accomplished female musicians capable of playing fiddle at a high, steamy pitch. In bond, U. K. -base Decca Records has found its own variation of Sex in the Symphony.
Released in 2000, the group’s first album, Born, topped clssical music charts around the world, selling more than 1 million copies to date . The genre’s popularity is due in part to the fact, with classical music," there are no language barriers. "Vanessa-Mae and her acolytes reduce the fuddy-duddy4 factor. Kids can relate . In the hand of a group like bond, a classical piece sounds like a palatable pop song that won’t frighten away the folks while pulling in the kids. It makes the music accessible.
And then there are the cool clothes. Bond members deny their slinky nightclub attire and libidinous onstage posturing has much to do with their fame. "Our success is not based on our outfits, "says Ecker, the quartet’s lead violinist."It goes beyond our image. We play great music. "Indeed, we should give the prodigies their props. Bond’s music is not warmed-over Bach. The playlist for their Asian tour contains but one classical cover: Tchaikovshy’s 1812 Overture .
练习题：
Ⅰ. Make sentences with the following words and phrases:
take liberty with — prowl —slink — sneak —
Ⅱ. True or False:
1. The genre becomes popular partly because that there are no language barriers and Vanessa-Mae reduces the fuddy-duddy factor.
2. Bond members agree that their fame has much to do with slinky nightclub attire and onstage posturing.
3. The play list for their Asian tour contains classical music.
4. Vanes-Mae is a Thai-Chinese musician capable of playing fiddle at a high and steamy pitch.
答案：
Ⅰ. 参见导释
Ⅱ. 1. T 2. F 3 . T 4 . T

交响乐的性感演绎
不管你对辣妹四重奏自由演绎古典音乐有何看法, 你没法指摘她们性感妖娆的表演有失音乐水准。只是有些另类。辣妹的音乐会是一场旋律优美的性感舞蹈: 四个窈窕淑女凭着手中的管弦乐器演绎激情, 那随音乐扭动的腰臀足以让人着魔。音乐学院是不会教人这样骑着大提琴演奏的。
轰动一时的中泰混血小提琴手陈美, 在1995 年发行的专集封面上的造型, 就好像她刚刚赢得“性感睡衣”大赛一样。从那以后各家唱片公司一直在暗中寻觅技艺高超, 能把小提琴拉得性感而又令人兴奋的女音乐家。英国的笛卡唱片公司在辣妹组合身上找到了公司自己的“性感交响乐”基调。辣妹组合2000 年发行的首张专集《诞生》, 曾打上世界古典音乐流行榜榜首, 销量已达100 多万张。
这类音乐流行的部分原因在于, 古典音乐没有语言障碍。陈美和她的追随者打破了古典音乐的沉闷, 青少年可以认同。辣妹之类的演奏组合, 将古典音乐演奏得像通俗的流行歌曲, 不会吓跑年长的, 还可以吸引小孩。古典音乐变得*易近人。
还有酷辣的服装。辣妹成员否认她们的成名与她们紧身的夜总会装扮和火辣的台风有关。“我们的成功不是基于我们的服装, ” 第一小提琴手海莉说: “ 我们将音乐玩得极好, 超越了我们的外形。” 的确, 我们该为这些天才说句公道话: 辣妹的音乐不是炒冷饭的巴赫。她们在亚洲巡回演出的曲目只有一首是古典音乐: 柴可夫斯基的《1812 序曲》。

Clothes Going Digital
Here is Northeast, winter means coats and sweaters. And that means plenty of pockets for our growing stock of digital gadgets1. Summer, by contrast, is virtually a pock-free zone. No pockets in T-shirts. No pockets in gym shorts. Those few pockets that are available quickly become crammed2 with gadgets. Mobile phone, pagers, personal digital assistant, MP3 player or CD player, digital camera: It’s enough to rip3 your pants as you walk down the hallway or through the parking lot.

One approach involves clipping the devices to a belt. Cell phones and pagers often go this way. A belt offers handy access when the phone rings or the pager goes off. But gadgets gathered to belt can become uncomfortable when you sit. A variation on the beltcarrier approach is the"fanny pack". This often involves zippers or clasps that can make it difficult to reach for a ringing telephone. An even bulkier option is the common backpack. Vulnerable5 to theft, it’s able to hold quite a pile of electronic gear. Fashion alert: Backpack users look like they’re still in college.
Designers have been puzzling over this problem for a while and at last one company has come up with a possible solution. Called the" Scott eVest", it’s a lightweight vest with more than a dozen pockets. Wearers have plenty of room for mobile phones, PDAs, CD players and much more. Better yet, a build-in wiring system — called a PAN, for " personal area network"— allows wearers to use their gadgets in addition to carrying them about.
Connect the mobile phone to the PAN, for example, and you can answer a phone call by putting in your earpiece and pressing a button through the vest’s fabric. Similarly, the wiring system keeps the headphones for your CD player in place and ready for instant use. Beyond gadgets, the vest has pockets for keys, a pen and even a" cup holder"pocket for beverages.
练习题：
Ⅰ. Answer the following questions with no more than three words:
1. What is our growing stock?
2. What might your digital gadgets do when you walk through the parking lot?
3. What dose PAN stand for?
Ⅱ. Choose answers to the questions:
1. What are the possible methods to hold the digital gadgets?
A. Clipping the devices to a belt. B. Putting them into fanny pack.

2. What are the two functions for Scott eVest?
A. To allow wearer to use digital gadgets. B. To provide electricity.
C. To carry the digital gadgets. D. To fix the digital gadget.
答案：
Ⅰ. 1. Digital gadgets. 2 . Rip my pants. 3. Personal area network.
Ⅱ. 1. A. B. C. D 2 . A. C.
参考译文：
服装也数码
这是在美国东北部, 冬天要穿毛衣和大衣。那就意味着有很多口袋装我们日益增多的数码玩意儿。夏天则相反, 简直就是“ 无袋”地带。T恤上没有口袋。运动短裤也没有口袋。仅有的口袋很快被数码玩意塞满了。手机、呼机、掌上电脑、MP3 播放器或便携式CD机、数码相机: 这些东西都有可能在你穿过走廊或停车场时撑破你的裤子。有人试图减少这种麻烦, 但是收效甚微。
有一种办法就是把这些东西别在皮带上。如手机和呼机。这样的话, 手机或呼机一响很方便就可以够得着。可是皮带上别了这些东西, 坐下的时候就很不方便。另一种方法是放在臀部后的小包里。小包通常要*链和扣子, 接电话就很不方便。更笨的`办法是用双肩包。能装东西, 但不保险。时尚提醒你: 背双肩包看上去总像是在校大学生。
一时间设计师着实为这伤了不少脑筋, 总算有公司拿出了可行之策。这款叫“ 苏格特 ”的轻马甲, 有十几个口袋。穿上它就有足够空间可收纳手机、呼机、便携式CD 机以及更多的东西。更妙的是马甲内置一个“ 个人局域网”——— PAN , 使着装者不但可以携带, 而且可以使用这些玩意儿。
例如, 只要把手机和PAN连接起来, 戴上耳机, 隔着衣服一摁按钮, 就可以接听电话了。同样, 连接上PAN , 个人便携式CD 机可随时供你享用。
除了放数字产品, 这款马甲还设计了口袋放钥匙和一支钢笔, 甚至还有一个“ 杯托”可放饮料。
