1、大学英语四级改革适用(阅读)模拟试卷 173及答案与解析 Section A 0 Adults who had been fed plenty of fruit when they were children are less likely to suffer from certain types of cancer, British scientists said on Wednesday. A medical study of【 C1】 _4,000 men and women showed that the more fruits the adults had eaten when th
2、ey were【 C2】 _the less likely they were to suffer from lung, bowel and breast cancer. “This study shows that childhood fruit consumption may have a long term【 C3】_effect on cancer risk in adulthood,“ Dr. Maria Maynard of the Medical Research Council in London said. All of the adults in the study had
3、 filled in a food【 C4】 _during the 1930s for a research study looking into the eating habits of families in【 C5】 _and urban areas of England and Scotland. Maynard and her colleagues studied the medical records of the group up to July 2000, by which time 483 cases of cancer had been【 C6】 _. In additi
4、on to fewer cases of cancer, a high consumption of fruit was【 C7】 _with a lower death rate from all causes. Fruits are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins and other nutrients, which can help to prevent genetic【 C8】 _that can lead to the development of cancer. The scientists also studied the【 C9】 _of
5、vitamins C, E and beta carotene on cancer but they did not find any【 C10】 _that individual antioxidants were as protective as fruit. A. impact B. efficiency C. associated D. insert E. protective F. furthermore G. decent H. diagnosed I. damage J. young K. inventory L. rural M. nearly N. evidence O. g
6、rab 1 【 C1】 2 【 C2】 3 【 C3】 4 【 C4】 5 【 C5】 6 【 C6】 7 【 C7】 8 【 C8】 9 【 C9】 10 【 C10】 Section B 10 Things You Cant Say in Canada A) Attacking our sacred cows (things or people that cannot be criticized) may turn you into one looked down upon by all others but it can also be a lot of fun. Every cultu
7、re has its unacknowledged taboos the things you are forbidden to say or do in polite company, the accepted truths you are not allowed to doubt. You might think that a liberal, open-minded country like Canada would be free of such taboos, but youd be wrong. In spite of our belief in our own civilized
8、 tolerance, some things are simply not open to debate. If you try, youre bound to shock the neighbors. B) Its risky to question the wisdom of the tribe. You might get stoned. On the other hand, some people might walk secretly up to you afterwards and tell you that they secretly agree. So heres a cha
9、llenge to a few of our nations most widely held beliefs. You say these things in public at your own danger. I will be elaborating on these points over the months to come. Feel free to stone me or secretly agree or, even better, add to the list. At the very least, theyre sure to start a good dinner-p
10、arty fight. C) Margaret Atwood writes some really awful books. The queen of Canadian literature dominates the literary world like a giant. Nobody has won more awards than she has, and nobody is more feared. There is no such a thing as a bad review of a Margaret Atwood book in Canada Thats too bad, b
11、ecause many of her books are tedious and unreadable, full of unpleasant characters and plot filled with torture. Why will no one say so? Because were grateful that she has put us on the global map. And because if they do, theyll never work in this country again. D) Recycling is a waste of time and m
12、oney. Once upon a time it was easy to put out the trash. Today, the Garbage Gestapo rules our lives. Every household has become a mini version of the village dump, and every one of us has become a garbage picker, carefully separating our organic waste from our bottles and papers, and worrying about
13、where our different kinds of garbage are supposed to go. Dont try to sort a wine bottle into the wrong bag! The trash police will punish you. The truth about recycling is that its a giant waste of dollars and doesnt help the environment. But dont tell your kids. They wont believe you. Theyve been br
14、ainwashed. E) Only private enterprise can save public health care. Tommy Douglas, the CBCs Greatest Canadian, brought us universal health care. But even his plan didnt originally pay for everybodys minor diseases, such as ingrown toenails. His primary goal was to make sure nobody faced financial rui
15、n if they got sick. Today we have a system where controlling costs is more important than treating patients, and where ideology is disabling us. In some places, including Toronto, people go blind waiting for cataract (白内障 ) surgery. The government could restore their sight tomorrow simply by sending
16、 them to a private clinic instead of to a hospital. The cost to the government would be exactly the same. But in Canada, “private“ is a dirty word, and so the government would rather you go blind. Poor Tommy would be spinning in his grave. F) David Suzuki is bad for the environment. From global warm
17、ing to farmed salmon and genetically modified crops, David Suzuki has just one message: The end is near. He is our homegrown prophet of doom, who can predict what will happen in the future. He advocates the essential wickedness of the human race. Like a modern Savonarola, he warns that unless we cas
18、t our material possessions into the bonfire, were all going to hell. The trouble with this predicting vision is that people are starting to isolate from the environment. And our hugely expensive investment in the unworkable Kyoto treaty, which Mr. Suzuki tells us doesnt go nearly far enough, will wi
19、pe out more practical measures to cut smog and clean up our waste sites. G) A national daycare program wont do a thing to help poor kids. Cheap national daycare! Who could be against it? Its supposed to give kids a better start in life, and nobody can object to that. But in Quebec, where the program
20、 started, universal daycare has turned out to be nothing more than a giant (and extremely costly) subsidy for relatively well-off middle-class parents. Few poor parents use the system. No doubt convenient daycare is a gift sent by god for many people. But so far there is no definitive evidence that
21、kids who go to daycare go on to do better in school or in life. So if we want to invest billions in helping kids, why are we spending it on the kids who need help the least? H) Group of Seven artists are overexposed genre (类型 ) painters. I like A.Y. Jackson as much as you do. His paintings remind me
22、 of when I went to summer camp. I grew up with a reproduction of The West Wind hanging in our living room. (That was by Tom Thomson, who wasnt really a member of Group of Seven, but never mind.) Group of Seven were the first artists to depict the wild Canadian landscape, and they were bold young reb
23、els in their time. But that time was 80 years ago. Today their work is the essence of bourgeois picture-postcard art the kind of art its safe to take your mother to see. Enough, already. Maybe its time we moved on. I) The United States is the greatest force for ever the world has ever known. Of all
24、the shocking things you can say around the dinner table, this is the most shocking one. After all, America-criticizing is part of our national identity. At best, we see our neighbor as a well-intentioned but arrogant and wrong-doing bully (欺负弱小者 ) that throws its weight around too much. At worst, we
