真题练习训练：四级简答解题真题剖析二
1999年6月
Directions: In this part, there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. (15 minutes)
For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outside their home is a luxury: they must work to survive. Others face a hard decision.
Perhaps the easiest choice has to do with economics. One husband said, "Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance(豪侈) we couldn"t afford." With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that with babysitters(临时照看小孩的),transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end up with less.Economic factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the family. It is in this area that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing and conflicting feelings.There are many women who find that homeIT is boring or who feel imprisoned(被囚人) if they have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think that homeIT gives them the deepest satisfaction.From my own experience, I would like to suggest that sometimes the decision to go back to work is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more. I wasn"t mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. I regret my impatience to get on with my career. I wish I had allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girl"s eves.Questions: (留意：答题只管即便冗长，跨越10个词要扣分。每条横线限写一个英语单词，标点标记不占格。)S1.

第一题 Which word in the first two paragraphs best explains why many women have to work?
题解：本题为年夜旨类题，要求考生总结出妇女义务的缘故原因。在这两段中都提到了survive，可以晓得妇女出往义务重如果为了糊口生活。所以本题的谜底应该是名词survive。固然，也可以了解为她们是为了挣钱来糊口生活，所以economy或economics也可以看成准确谜底。
要点：留意题目中的which word，因此本题的谜底应为一个单词，而不要答成“They must work to survive”一类的话。
第二题 Why did Marge and her husband think it an extravagance for Marge to go back to work?
题解：此题属于细节类题目。文章第二段：玛基和她丈夫以为她从头外出工尴尬刁难全家来说是一种奢看。他们有两个学龄前的孩子。如果把雇人照看孩子的费用、交通费用和增加的税款加在一同，那么算上去将不但赚不到钱，收进理想上还年夜概淘汰。
要点：（1）本题所问内容从玛基和她丈夫的角度讲是没有发作的事变。即回答的内容与毕竟相反。故谜底均接纳与毕竟相反的假造语气形式。不然是要扣分的。
（2）题目是why，回答时最好用because开头（虽然省略because也不扣分）。
谜底： Because they might end up with less money.
或 Because they would spend more than their earnings.
或 Because their earnings wouldn’t cover the spending.
或 Because they couldn’t afford the extra payments of double-worker family.
或 Because going back to work might cost more money.
第三题 What are the two major considerations in deciding whether women should go out to work?
题解：题干中的consideration是探求谜底的关键词。从文章中可以在第三段找到consider一词，这一句明白地说“Economic factors are usually the first to be considered”，所以这里的economic factors一定是谜底的一个方面。但题目是“the two major considerations”，所以另有另一方面。根据这句话的下一句话，“The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the family”可以挑出来，即“the emotional needs”。
要点：留意构造谜底要范例和完竣，如果Economic factors, emotional needs为谜底的话就不范例，一定不会得满分。
谜底： Economic factors and emotional needs(of each family member)
或One is economic factors, the other is emotional needs.
或They are economic factors and emotional needs.
第四题 Some women would rather do housework and take care of their children than pursue a career because they feel______ .
题解：本题较为简朴，从第四段的对比论述可以晓得谜底在其末了一句话，即homeIT gives them the deepest satisfaction。
要点：本题只答出从句部分即为准确谜底，不要多此一举。
谜底： satisfied with homeIT
或 that homeIT gives them the deepest satisfaction
或that homeIT and being with children give them deepest satisfaction
第五题 If given a second chance, the writer would probably choose to ______ .
题解：此题属于料到类题。在第五段里，作者经由历程本身的体验总结说，不要随便抛却家庭糊口，她对自己迫不及待地出往义务默示后悔，并默示希看能享用一下与自己的孩子在一同看世界的快乐。由此可判定，若无机遇她宁肯与女儿即家人呆在一同，所以谜底为stay home with her little girl或 stay home and enjoy family life.
