大學(xué)英語四級完形填空練習(xí)題六（附答案詳解）閱 From childhood to old age，we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us。When humans first 1，they were like newborn children，unable to use this 2tool。Yet once language developed，the possibilities for human kinds future 3and cultural growth increased。Many linguists believe that evolution is 4for our ability to produce and use language。They 5that our highly evolved brain provides us 6an innate language ability not found in lower 7。Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 8for language is inborn，but that language itself develops gradually，9a function of the growth of the brain during childhood。Therefore there are critical 10times for language development。Current 11of innateness theory are mixed，however，evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable。12，more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 13grades。Young children often can learn several languages by being 14to them，while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 15of their first language have become firmly fixed。16some aspects of language are undeniably innate，language does not develop automatically in a vacuum。Children who have been 17from other human beings do not possess language。This demonstrates that 18with other human beings is necessary for proper language development。Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 19than any innate capacities。These theorists view language as imitative，learned behavior。20，children learn language from their parents by imitating them。Parents gradually shape their childs language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones。1。A。generated B。evolved C。born D。originated2。A。valuable B。appropriate C。convenient D。favorite3。A。attainments B。feasibilityC。entertainments D。evolution4。A。essential B。available

（bear的過去分詞）不能作謂語動詞；originated起源，不能用first修飾。2?！敬鸢浮緼【解析】根據(jù)語法分析，答案應(yīng)用來修飾語言的。valuable珍貴的；appropriate合適的，適當(dāng)?shù)模籧onvenient方便的，便利的；favorite最喜歡的。語言并不是人類選擇的結(jié)果，而是人類在進(jìn)化過程中慢慢發(fā)展起來的，對人類來說，應(yīng)當(dāng)是珍貴的。3?！敬鸢浮緼【解析】此處意思是：語言的發(fā)展增加了人類未來的成就和文化進(jìn)步的可能性。attainments成就；feasibility可行性；entertainments娛樂；evolution進(jìn)化。4?！敬鸢浮緿【解析】此處意為：許多語言學(xué)家認(rèn)為進(jìn)化使人們產(chǎn)生和具備了語言的能力。固定短語be responsible for對負(fù)責(zé)，是的原由。其它選項不與for搭配。5?！敬鸢浮緾【解析】根據(jù)語法分析，空格后應(yīng)是一個賓語從句，而A，B，D三項后都不能接從句做直接賓語。confirm（確認(rèn)）+名詞；inform（通知）sb。of sth。；convince（使某人確信）sb。of sth。6?！敬鸢浮緿【解析】固定搭配provide sb。with sth。意為“向（人）提供（物）”7?！敬鸢浮緽【解析】此處意為：我們高度發(fā)達(dá)的大腦是我們具備了其它低等動物所不具備的語言能力。顯然，這里是把人和低等動物相比較。因此選organisms有機體，生物體。8?！敬鸢浮緼【解析】此句意思是：人類的語言能力是與生俱來的，但語言本身也在逐漸發(fā)展，所以這種能力應(yīng)該是潛在的。potential潛力；performa nce履行；preference偏愛；passion激情。9。【答案】A【解析】此句句義是：語言本身作為童年時期大腦生長的一種功能，其發(fā)展是緩慢的。as （作為，當(dāng)作）合乎題意。Like作為介詞的意思是“像一樣”。10?！敬鸢浮緽【解析】此句意為：語言的發(fā)展有一個關(guān)鍵期，人體的成長是生物變化的過程。biological生物的；ideological思想上的；social社會的；psychological心理的。11?！敬鸢浮緼【解析】此處意為：目前人們對“先天論”評論觀點不一，但是支持某些天生能力的證據(jù)卻是確鑿無疑的。reviews評論；reference參考；reaction反應(yīng)；recommendation推薦。12。【答案】C【解析】從11題可看出，作者是傾向于先天論的，為了進(jìn)一步證明先天論是有道理的，作者選擇了以學(xué)校為例加以說明，因此這里應(yīng)填一個表示遞進(jìn)關(guān)系的詞Indeed（甚至）。13?！敬鸢浮緿【解析】此處意思是：越來越多的學(xué)校發(fā)現(xiàn)在什么年級學(xué)外語較容易，根據(jù)常識（低年級學(xué)外語較容易）以及后文的Young children often can learn several languages by being 14to them，while adults可以選定答案。14。【答案】B【解析】此處意為：通過接觸多種語言，孩子們可以學(xué)會好幾種語言。be exposed to是固定搭配，接觸到。reveal（顯露）sth。to sb，不合題意，因本題中的them指languages。其余選項不與to搭配。engage in從事；be involved in參與。15?！敬鸢浮緾【解析】此句意思是：一旦母語的規(guī)則被深深印入腦海中，成年人就很難再學(xué)好另一種語言。rules規(guī)則，規(guī)律；regulations規(guī)定；formations構(gòu)成，構(gòu)造；constitutions憲法，章程。16。【答案】A【解析】分析上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，從句意思是：語言的某些方面肯定是先天的。主句意思是：語言不會在與人隔絕的狀況下自行發(fā)展。前后應(yīng)為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。17?！敬鸢浮緿【解析】此句意為：與人隔絕的兒童不能掌握好一門語言。isolated孤立的，與人隔絕的；distinguished區(qū)別的，杰出的；different不同的；protected受到保護(hù)的。18?！敬鸢浮緿【解析】此句總結(jié)前幾句，意為：必須通過與他人交往，語言才能夠發(fā)展。interaction相互作用；exposition暴露；comparison比較；contrast對比。19?！敬鸢浮緼【解析】根據(jù)分析，本句中的“this”和“even more basic”分別指代上句的“interaction with other human beings”和“necessary”，此處所填詞對應(yīng)上文中的language development。也就是說，language acquisition語言習(xí)得。appreciation欣賞，感激；requirement要求；alternative轉(zhuǎn)移，轉(zhuǎn)變，轉(zhuǎn)換。20?！敬鸢浮緾【解析】本句功能是以另一種方式解釋前文中的“imitative，learned behavior。（模仿性的后天行為）”。In other words換言之，換句話說；As a result結(jié)果是；After all畢竟；Above all首先。英語四級考試完形填空試題及答案解析 There are more than forty universities in Britainnearly twice as many as in 1960.During the 1960s eight completely new ones were founded， and

is always asked of me is 1 I became an animal collector in the first 2 .The answer is that I have always been interested in animals and zoos.According to my parents， the first word I was able to say with any 3 was not the conventional“mamma”or“daddy”，4 the word“zoo”， which I would 5 over and over again with a shrill 6 until someone， insgroupsto 7 me up， would take me to the zoo.When I 8 a little older， we lived in Greece and I had a great 9 of pets， ranging from owls to seahorses， and I spent all my spare time 10 the countryside in search of fresh specimens to 11 to my collection of pets.12 on I went for a year to the City Zoo， as a student 13 ， to get experience of the large animals， such as lions， bears， bison and ostriches，14 were not easy to keep at home.When I left， I 15 had enough money of my own to be able to 16 my first trip and I have been going 17 ever since then.Though a collectors job is not an easy one and is full of 18 ，it is certainly a job which will appeal 19 all

B.travel C.journey D.Trip1.【答案】A【解析】根據(jù)下一句及隨后的內(nèi)容，作者講的是怎樣成為動物愛好者的（從小就喜歡動物），應(yīng)當(dāng)選擇A.how。2.【答案】C【解析】in the first place是固定短語，意思是“首先”。此句意思是：別人經(jīng)常問到的問題之一，是當(dāng)初我是如何愛上動物的。3.【答案】A【解析】這句話的意思是：作者在呀呀學(xué)語之時，最早發(fā)清楚的音是“zoo”（動物園），而不是“媽媽”，“爸爸”，因此，應(yīng)選clarity“清晰”。填入其他選項emotion （感情），sentiment（多愁善感），affection（友愛）不合邏輯。4.【答案】B【解析】but在此處連接另一個句子（it was the word“zoo”，“it was”被省略），表示轉(zhuǎn)折，意為“而是”，Except，except for，but for的用法接近，表示“除了”。例如：We go there every day except Sunday.He answered all the questions except for the last one.For a year the dam remained complete but for the generators.從意思上，邏輯上，都應(yīng)當(dāng)選but。5.【答案】D【解析】根據(jù)后面的over and over again，應(yīng)選“repeat”6.【答案】C【解析】小孩想去動物園，便不停地發(fā)出尖叫聲，故選“voice”。A shrill voice與scream的意思接近。volume（音量）；noise（噪音）；pitch（音調(diào)）均不合要求。7.【答案】B【解析】shut sb.up是指讓某人住口，為了讓孩子停止尖叫，只好帶他去動物園。8.【答案】A【解析】根據(jù)后面主句的時態(tài)，此處只能用一般過去時。9.【答案】C【解析】a great many后直接跟可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式；a great / large amount of后跟不可數(shù)名詞；只有a great /large number of后可以跟可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式。例如：I read a great many English books.A large amount of money is spent on tobacco every year.A great number of civilians were murdered in cold blood.10.【答案】D【解析】living后必須接介詞in，意為“居住”；cultivating耕種；reclaiming開墾；只有exploring有探察的意思。11.【答案】C【解析】add to相當(dāng)于increase，增加。其余選項后面都不接to。12.【答案】A【解析】later on為固定短語，“后來”。13.【答案】D【解析】attendant仆人；keeper可理解為“飼養(yǎng)員”，但是a student keeper容易被誤解為“收留學(xué)生的人”；aide有“助手”之義。作者一邊上學(xué)，一邊在動物園里打工，只能當(dāng)助手。14.【答案】D【解析】which在此引導(dǎo)定語從句，修飾前面列出的動物。15.【答案】D【解析】因為錢是在動物園打工掙的，選successfully更能體現(xiàn)其含義。16.【答案】D【解析】finance my first trip意為“支付我的旅行費用”；pay后應(yīng)接介詞for；其他選項的意思相差甚遠(yuǎn)。17.【答案】B【解析】此句為現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時態(tài)，選regularly比較貼切。18.【答案】D【解析】此句是由though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句，應(yīng)與主句意思相對立。選項中，sorrows和disappointments與主句的appeal to相對立，但sorrows的分量太重。19.【答案】C【解析】appeal to為成語，意思是“吸引”。20.【答案】B【解析】excursion短途旅行；journey（從一地到另一地的）長距離，具體的旅途；travel旅行，旅游，海外旅行；trip旅行，遠(yuǎn)足。2011年英語四級完形填空模擬試題及答案(三) 東方網(wǎng)教育 2011年04月26日09：11 來源：考試吧
