2019年大學(xué)英語四級考試閱讀模擬試題：如何寫作
Learning how to write is like taking a course in public speaking. I'd ask whether anyone in class had evertaken such a course. Always a few hands would go up.
"What did you learn in that course?" I'd ask.
"Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audience: not to be inhibited (拘謹(jǐn))... not to be nervous. "
Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don't hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead. you're taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script. how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions.
The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ll read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter of dictating machine and read out to the person at the other end of the line.
Of course, in public speaking with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can lookat them and talk to them directly. In writing, you 're alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary or at least it' s necessary until you've reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously "talk on paper".

參考答案及解析
1.[C] 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。原文第4段,特別是第4段的最后一句表明c為正確選項(xiàng)。本題稍具干擾性的是D，該選項(xiàng)中的live一詞在第4段第2句末尾也有出現(xiàn)，但事實(shí)上D與該句的意思不相同。
2.[A] 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查對比處。第5段第1句表明下一句就是演講和寫作的相似之處，而A就是對該句的同義替換。其他選項(xiàng)并未按照題目的要求對比演講與寫作，只是說明了寫作必須做的，因此都不正確。
3.[A] 推理判斷題。本題考查對比處。結(jié)尾段對比了演講和寫作的不同之處，第1、2句和第3、4句形成了內(nèi)在的對比關(guān)系，由此可推斷寫作比演講更需要經(jīng)驗(yàn)和努力，因此可確定A正確，而C不正確。雖然在這一段可找到effort和naturally等詞，但原文并沒有從是否要付出同樣多的努力(B)或是否自然(D)等方面對比演講與寫作，因此B和D也不正確。
4.[D] 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一句中的“在紙上說話”,可推斷作者認(rèn)為寫作如在紙上作演講一樣，因此D正確。A中的Few students與事實(shí)不符;B中的speak with a script在文中未有提及;C中的separated by a barrier錯誤。
5.[D] 主旨大意題。文章的開頭句就是全文的主題句，作者在前四段說明如何演講，從第5段開始，作者轉(zhuǎn)向說明如何寫作,文章的結(jié)尾句對開頭句做出了呼應(yīng)。作者之所以將演講和寫作過程做比較是為了讓自己的觀點(diǎn)更容易、更生動地被讀者明白和接受，因此本文的中心內(nèi)容是圍繞寫作，而不是演講。其余選項(xiàng)雖然文中都有提及，但只是各個具體的側(cè)面內(nèi)容，不能概括全文大意。
2019年大學(xué)英語四級考試閱讀模擬試題：農(nóng)業(yè)技術(shù)
Even plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or
disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away-straight up. A decade ago, adapting the infrared (紅外線) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide(殺蟲劑) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don't have pest(害蟲) problems.
Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems
before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night ,an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running "fevers".Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.
The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find.But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation.Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. "This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, "says George Oerther of Texas A&M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks.remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.
這是一篇說明文。文章一開頭就介紹了原用于軍事和衛(wèi)星的紅外線掃描技術(shù)，如今被用在農(nóng)業(yè)上。通過遠(yuǎn)距離測量植物的溫度來判斷農(nóng)作物是否遭受蟲害和疾病。在第二段中指出，物理學(xué)家帕里組建了帕里遠(yuǎn)紅外掃描服務(wù)公司，來專門探測農(nóng)業(yè)方面的情況。最后他的公司在三年后被迫關(guān)閉，主要是因?yàn)槿狈Y金。另外，農(nóng)民們也一時不能接受這種新技術(shù)。作者期待將來有一天可以解決財(cái)政困難，將這一新技術(shù)重新用到農(nóng)業(yè)上去。

參考答案及解析
1、[答案及分析]：[C]。詞組理解題。本文第一段的第一句話談到：“Even plants can run fever...by insects or disease.”這就告訴了我們植物升高溫度的原因。本句所問的也正是這個原因。因此，C正告訴了我們這一點(diǎn)，所以C是正確答案。
2、[答案及分析]：[D]詞匯理解題。在第一段的原文中“The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide spraying...”其中的意思是“確定”(蟲害發(fā)生的地方)”而答案D是說“要確定問題所在地區(qū)”，信息與本文相符，故D為正確答案;而A、B、C都與本文不符。
3、[答案及分析]：[A]。判斷題。問農(nóng)民通過何種方式可節(jié)省殺蟲劑。在文章的第二段中談到帕里遠(yuǎn)紅外線掃描服務(wù)公司利用飛機(jī)上的遠(yuǎn)紅外線掃描儀夜間在3000英尺的高度探測到莊稼的情況，然后可將這些情況提供給農(nóng)民，農(nóng)民可噴灑農(nóng)藥，這樣只使用原來農(nóng)藥量的50%-70%就足夠了。故答案A的信息與本文相符;而B、C、D均不正確。
4、[答案及分析]：[C]。詞匯理解題。問遠(yuǎn)紅外掃描技術(shù)用于農(nóng)業(yè)上時遇到的阻力，原因何在。在本文最后段中指出：1984年，帕里公司被迫關(guān)閉的原因一資金缺乏。并呼吁說：“But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10years ago.”其中financial backing的意思與本題C的“financial support”相同。所以答案C正確。
5、[答案及分析]：[B]。正誤判斷題。問遠(yuǎn)紅外掃描技術(shù)有可能重新用于農(nóng)業(yè)，原因何在。在文章最后一段中說“But with the renewed concern...to get back into operation”由此可明顯看出，B的信息與本文內(nèi)容相符，所以答案B是正確的;而A、C、D都與本文不符。
