2021年6月英语四级考试答案解析
Part I Writing
Free Admission to Museums
In recently years it has become increasingly popular for more and more museums to offer free admission to visitors,be them children or adults,citizens or tourists.The purposes for this,as I see them,are quite straightforward.First,free admission to museums is a feasible and effective way to enhance the public’s awareness of our cultural and historical heritage.Second,free access to museums provides a good educational opportunity;as visitors look at those invaluable treasures,they will feel the urge to learn.Besides,free admission to museums also promotes and popularizes Chinese culture both home and abroad.
However,free admission to museums may also cause some problems.There may be huge crowds of visitors on holidays or for some exhibitions,which may cause disturbance or chaos;the presence of large crowds may also cause damage to the things on display,for example,some visitors often use flash lights where they are not supposed to.What’s more,free admission and the crowds that follow is a test to the museums’finance,maintenance,and management abilities.
This being said,I still believe free admission to museums is a plausible idea;only certain measures need to be taken to ensure that museums get enough funds to maintain and manage their exhibitions,and that the flow of visitors is controlled and their behaviors regulated.This way free admission to museums can be a lasting and beneficial practice.
Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)
原文分析:
本文是一篇说明文,讲述人们对文化diversity〔多元性〕应该有兼容并包的态度。本文结构非常清晰,开篇用Tiffany面试错过最正确候选人的例子来引出人们因为对不同文化的误解(misunderstanding)或假设(assumption)而经常犯错误;文中的每个小标题都是一种错误,并都用diversity workshop参与者的切身经历来例证。结尾局部,作者提出人们都应该正视自己思想模式的缺陷,用开放的态度对待文化多元性。
快速阅读不要求仔细通读全文,只要对文章的结构有大概了解,通过浏览定位关键词找答案。本文段落繁多,但结构清晰,小标题清楚指出每一局部的主题,而且题目的定位词非常明确,只需根据题目在原文对应段落中找到定位词即可。需要注意的是考题都是按顺序出现的,这就可以缩小定位范围,同时也意味着最后三个填空题都出现在文章的最后局部。
1.A此题定位词为“Tiffany,interview,bother〞。答案在第一段,but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said“untrustworthy〞。所以选A。第一段中两次强调了这一事实,she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact.
2.C此题紧随上一题,问的是Tiffany对自己错误的反思,答案也紧随第一题答案在第二段,即What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s“different〞behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding.所以选C。
3.B此题定位词“essential,economic globalization〞,在原文开头局部的结尾,即it is becoming essential to expand our understanding of others and to re-examine some of our false assumptions,B选项与黑体局部同义。
4.B此题的定位词为Mindsets LLC。专有名词十分显眼,在第一个小标题下的第一段有对这家公司的描述:helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots,结合上下文给出的例子,选B。
5.D Dale这个名字出现在小标题“Blinded by Gender〞局部,其实即可以判断答案为D。原文对应的句子为:I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases〔不应该存有性别偏见〕into the situation,I needed to…
6.C此题与上题问的都是Dale参加完workshop的收获,答案也在一起,即Dale credits〔称赞〕the workshop,“because it helped me make decisions based on fairness.〞,选C,It helped him make fair decisions。
7.A Doug这个名字出现在小标题“Year of Know-it-all〞局部,当他的美籍华裔员工向他请假过春节时,他的第一反响是I assumed he had his dates wrong,并且gave him a long talking-to about turning in requests early with the proper dates。
8.embarrassed此题答案非常明确,原文为I(Dough)felt very embarrassed in assuming he had his dates mixed up.
9.inclusiveness此题稍带总结性,在“Year of Know-it-all〞以及“A Better Bottom Line〞两局部,参与者都提到了inclusiveness的重要性:Doug admits.“The biggest thing I took away from the workshop is learning how to be more‘inclusive’to differences.〞,以及These comments from a customer service representative show how an inclusive attitude can improve sales.而在倒数第二段,作者也作了总结:Once we start to see people as individuals and discard the stereotypes,we can move positively toward inclusiveness for everyone.
