3、 money is divided, more than two-thirds of the districts, or 8,843, will not receive as much financing as before.The analysis, based on data from the department, was made by the Center on Education Policy, a group advocating for public schools. A similar study by the group last year showed that 55 p

4、ercent of the schools would receive less money than they did in the previous year.“ Its an alarming number, ” said Tom Fagan, a former department official who c onducted the analysis. “ It s clear that the amount of overall increase is not keeping pace with the number of poor kids. ”Susan Aspey, a d

5、epartment spokeswoman, defended thespending levels for Title Isaying,President Bush andCongress have invested record amounts of funding to help the nation s neediest students. ”But Mr. Fagan said the increasing number of districts that are losing money is making it harder for the schools to meet the

That is giving critics of the program more grounds to accuse the administration of not sufficiently financing the program w

13、句，選項(xiàng)C中show的行為主體應(yīng)為similar study 。.D 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查因果關(guān)系。第2段第 2 句指出有三個(gè)原因造成超過(guò)2/3的地區(qū)得到的資金減少，選項(xiàng) A、B C是對(duì)這三 個(gè)原因的近義改寫，但其中選項(xiàng) C 與原句的形式分別，容易造成誤選。.B觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。本題考查文人物的觀點(diǎn)。蘇珊阿斯貝的觀 點(diǎn)態(tài)度只能從第 5 段推斷出，從這個(gè)段中的 defended 和 record amount of funding可知她對(duì)教育部的撥款數(shù)是認(rèn)同的。選項(xiàng) A和C者B是貶義詞，不可 能表達(dá)她的觀點(diǎn)；選項(xiàng)D雖是褒義詞，但蘇珊是在陳述 已發(fā)生的事實(shí)，而不是發(fā)表對(duì)教育部的期望。.B 推理判斷題。本

14、題考查對(duì)復(fù)合句的理解。由文中第 6段第 1 句中的harder. to meet.可知選項(xiàng)B準(zhǔn)確。選項(xiàng)C干擾性，要排除這個(gè)干擾，關(guān)鍵是要理解第 6 段第 1 句中由 which 引導(dǎo)的非限制性 定語(yǔ)從句的作 用。這個(gè)從句是對(duì)前面“ the Bush administrationssignature education program ”的附加事實(shí)信息，不屬于湯姆法甘 的看法。.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第6段第1句可知選項(xiàng)A和D與事實(shí)不 符。最后一段倒數(shù)第 2 句中的 anger 和 tension 兩詞，可推斷人們對(duì) 此表示不滿。【篇二】 2021 年上半年英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試閱讀理解To understa

26、與此意思一致，故C準(zhǔn)確。重新恢復(fù)了經(jīng)典口味可樂(lè)的這個(gè)例子很好地闡述了什么 ?A）商品的設(shè)計(jì)應(yīng)該貼合消費(fèi)者的口味。B）那些口味保守的消費(fèi)者最難取悅。C） 一種新的產(chǎn)品為公眾所接受是需要時(shí)間的。D）傳統(tǒng)型產(chǎn)品對(duì)于絕大部分人來(lái)說(shuō)有著更強(qiáng)的吸引力。A 文章第 3 段提到“成功的商人和生產(chǎn)者意識(shí)到了解和迎合顧客的口味是贏利的根本保證。有一個(gè)典型的例子能夠證明滿足顧客需要的重要性”，而接下來(lái)文中舉的就是可口可樂(lè)公司重新恢復(fù)經(jīng)典口味可樂(lè)的例子，由此推斷，恢復(fù)配方是為了迎合顧客的口味，A 與此觀點(diǎn)一致。在討論市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷理念的時(shí)候，作者主要注重 。A）其社會(huì)影響B(tài)）其理論基礎(chǔ)C）其可能帶來(lái)的后果D）其主要特點(diǎn)從全

27、文來(lái)看，作者旨在向讀者介紹市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷這個(gè)概念的基本特征，即根據(jù)顧客的需求組織生產(chǎn)，并通過(guò)講述可口可樂(lè)公司恢復(fù)原配方這個(gè)讓人印象深刻的例子強(qiáng)化了讀者對(duì)其基本特征的了解。所以， A、 B和C均與所陳述的內(nèi)容無(wú)關(guān)，只有 D準(zhǔn)確?！酒?2021 年上半年英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試閱讀理解Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality ， but when it comes to mycollege education I am an idealist and a fool.

32、ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses,I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile（ 協(xié)調(diào) ） engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path
