2006年6月17日四级考试B卷参考答案和试卷简评 (3)


9. M: We’ve got three women researchers in our group: Mary, Betty and Helen. Do you know them?
W: Sure. Mary is active and sociable. Betty is the most talkative woman I’ve ever met. But guess what? Helen’s just the opposite.
Q: What do we learn from the woman’s remark about Helen?
9. A) Heien is talkative.   B) Helen is active.

C) Helen is sociable.     D) Helen is quiet.

这个题目信息复杂程度有一次提高。三个人的性格进行列举,“Helen’s just the opposite”表明她跟Betty进行了对比。根据Betty既然最健谈,那么Helen最文静。

10.W: Jimmy said that he was going to marry a rich French businesswoman.
M: Don’t be so sure. He once told me that he had bought a big house. Yet he’s still sharing an apartment with Mark.
Q: What does the man imply?

10. A) Jimmy will regret marrying a Frenchwoman.

B) Jimmy is not serious in making decisions.

C) Jimmy is rich enough to buy a big house.

D) Jimmy's words are often not reliable.

这个题目考查了转折的用法。Don’t be so sure意思是告诉对方不要太肯定Jimmy说的话。然后举例子说明Jimmy是如何不厚道,“他曾告诉我他买了大房子,但实际上仍跟人合住一个公寓”。
