解析：由competewithsomeofitsneighbouringcountries可以定位到原文第6段，theyweren'tlookingfor…,theywerelookingfor…,thisprioritizationofquantityoverqualityprevailedfordecades.可见他们对数量的追求高于质量，因此选B。
4.C.allkindsofoverseasvisitors
解析：由题干关键词culinary定位到原文第7段，根据最后一句…itsabilitytopleasethetastesofanyinternationalvisitor.而anyinternationalvisitor就等同于答案allkindsofoverseasvisitors。故选C.
5.C.Newideasandpresentations
解析：问题是按照DavidTamlyn的观点，香港的饮食者喜欢什么。先根据DavidTamlyn这个人名定位到原文第八段，再根据最后一句话HongKongdinersareextremelyresponsivetonewideasorpresentations,…这里的areextremelyresponsiveto在意思上等于题干中的welcome。
6.D.maintainBritishtraditionaltastes
解析：一些饭店修改菜谱，采用新样式，而另外一些则保留英式口味，再根据Tamlynisinthesecondcamp，可知Tamlyn属于后者，即保留原汁原味。故答案选D。
7.B.Theyareproducedonexcellentorganicfarms
解析：由NeilTomes定位到原文第12段，根据最后两句话…Ithasexcellentorganicfarms,beautifullycraftedcheeses,high-qualitymeats可选出答案B，NeilTomes喜欢英国原料的原因就在于原料产于优秀的有机农场。
8.thelocalmarkets
解析：根据原文，…whichmeanswetakeourvegetablesfromthelocalmarkets,…即除了从英国直接进口，还有部分蔬菜从本地市场购买的。
9.inaBritishway
解析：先定位到ThePhoenix那一段，再找到下一段，Weusealotofingredientsthatpeoplewouldn'tperhapsassociateasBritish,butarepresentedinaBritishway.

W:Oh,thatpoorguy!Hereallyshouldshavehimselfeveryotherdayatleastandputonsomethingclean.
Q:WhatdowelearnaboutShawn
答案：A.Heiscarelessabouthisappearance.
解析：男生首先对肖恩能否找到工作表示怀疑，因为他邋遢。女生接着提到肖恩不修边幅，又说他应该每隔一天刮一次胡子，把自己弄得整洁干净一点。由此可知，肖恩是一个对仪容仪表不太注重，比较粗线条的人shave，刮胡子；becarelessabout不在乎，不介意；

Q:Whatdoesthemanimply
答案：A.Janemaybecaughtinatrafficjam.
男生又说：“Iagree.Butshedoeshavetodrivethroughveryheavytraffictogethere.”（我同意。但是她到这里的确要遭受很拥堵的交通。）由此得出，男生对此事的态度是理解或宽容的。Jane可能被堵在半路了。

M:Congratulations!IheardyourbaseballteamisgoingtotheMiddleAtlanticChampionship.
W:Yeah,we'reallworkingrealhardrightnow!
Q:Whatisthewoman'steamdoing
答案：A.TrainingfortheMid-AtlanticChampionship.
解析：对话开头男生提到女生所在的棒球队要参加Mid-AtlanticChampionship.女生说：“we'reallworkingrealhardrightnow!”（我们现在正紧锣密鼓地练习呢！）由此可知，女生所在的棒球队正在进行赛前训练。
此题还有一个迷惑选项B,Makingpreparationsforatrans-Atlantictrip,必须注意的是：这里并不是准备旅行，而是准备参赛。

M:Oh,that'sterrible.Andyouknowhisfatherpassedawaylastyear.
Q:WhatdowelearnaboutJohn
答案：D.Hehasbeenhavingahardtime.
解析：根据听力原文可知，“John'smotherisinthehospitalandhisfatherdiedlastyear.”（约翰的母亲出车祸住院了，父亲两年前也过世了）由此可见，John的近况还是蛮悲惨的；答案也就显而易见了。

W:Well,Idon'tknow.Infact,Ithinkit'sbeenalongtimesinceI'veheardanyoneisgood.
Q:Whatdowelearnfromtheconversation
答案：DThewomanthinkshighlyofthespeaker
解析：根据听力原文可知，男生觉得演讲无趣，女生却很淡定地说：“其实我已经很久没有听到那么好的发言了”。由此可见，女生对发言还是很肯定的。选项D中“thinkshighlyof”即“对…评价高”，故D是正确答案。
16.

答案：C.Thewomanshouldseekhelpfromtutoringservices.
解析：首先女生说她逻辑学得很辛苦，接受不了老师的讲课方式也理解不了课程内容。
而后男生说学校有辅导班，他在参加之前几乎要挂科了，辅导班帮了他大忙。言下之意是推荐女生也去上辅导班。

答案：C.Jillworetheovercoatlastweek.
解析：首先男生问女生上周是否穿过拉风外套，然后女生说：“ThatwasmysisterJill.She'sinyourclass.”（那是我姐姐Jill，她和你同班）也就是说男生很有可能看到的那个穿着拉风外套的人是女生的姐姐Jill。

答案：B.Animaginarysituation.
解析：根据原文录音可知，对话开头男生讲到：“Jane,supposeyoulostallyourmoneywhiletakingavacationoverseas,whatwouldyoudo”这里的"suppose"表明“假定、料想”由此可见，两人谈论的是一个虚拟场景。

Q20:Whatproblemdoesthemanhavewhileworkingonhispaper
Q21:Whatdoesthewomansayiscommoninwritingpapers
A)Newideascomeupasyouwrite.
19.D)Asportheparticipatesin
解析：题目问的是，男生论文的主题是什么，从talkaboutwhatparticularsportmeanstomewhenIparticipatein一句中，可得对应选项D。C选项是一个干扰项，painandpleasureinsports,意为运动中的痛苦与快乐，其中sports一词范围太大，对话中只谈到了cross-countryskiing,因此，C选项错。
20.D)Hecan'tdecidewhethertoincludetheeffortpartofskiing.
解析：当男生打算将越野滑雪的艰辛剔除出论文时，教授说了一句“Thenyou'llhavetoincludethatinyourpoint.”对应选项D
解析：在对话的最后，教授提到“Partofyourpointyouknewbeforehandbutpartyoudiscoveredasyouwrote.That'scommon,right”这句话意思是说，在写论文之前，论点的一部分我们已经有了，但另一部分在写的过程中才会发现，因此，对应选项A。A选项与D选项较易混淆，但从教授的话中，我们可以看出，不是论点发生变化，而是在写作过程中，会有新的想法产生。

B)Therestaurantatmosphere
22.D)Hostessoftheweekly“BusinessWorld”
解析：从对话中可以听出，这是一个访谈节目，因此这个女性是节目主持人。
23.B)Heandhiswifedideverythingbythemselves.
解析：题目问的是，刚开始的时候，Angeleno的生意怎么样？对话中提到，Ididallthecookingmyselfandmywifewaitedontables.Angeleno负责做菜，他妻子负责接待，对应选项B。
24.B)Headvertisesalotonradioandinnewspapers.
解析：从ButIadvertisealotonradioandinlocalnewspapers.一句中，可以得到对应选项。
25.B)Therestaurantatomsphere
解析：题目问的是，什么有助于餐厅的成功？对话中提到，IalwaysservethefreshestpossiblefoodandImaketheatmosphereascomfortableandaspleasantasIcan,sothatmycustomerswillwanttocomeback.可见，Angeleno会提供尽可能新鲜的食物和舒适的用餐环境以吸引顾客，因此，对应选项B，也许，有童鞋会问，为什么不选C？注意，C选项是指各种各样的食物，与文意中“新鲜的食物”不符，是错误选项。

篇章类型及提要：论证文
听力点睛：
26.Whatdoesthespeakerwanttotellusabouteyesight
答案：C）Therearemanyfalsenotionsaboutit.
解析：从"eyesight"可以把答案定位于第一段，关键词有"weakenstheeyes""lossofvision".注意题目中是问speaker要告诉我们的，所以不要被somepeoplebelieve...误导，看清题目要问什么很重要。容易混淆的是A选项，文中提到如果孩子戴不合适的眼镜会使孩子的视力减弱，但并没有提到孩子经常忽视保护视力。B、D选项文中没有提及，可以排除。
27.Whatdostudiesaboutwearingthewrongglassesshow

31.Accordingtothepassage,whatmustcaregiverslearntodo
答案：C）Befrankandseekhelpfromothers.
解析：关键词"caregivers""learntodo"，问看护人应该要学会做的事情，然后迅速定位于最后部分，"Oneconsiderationistoask..."，"Caregiversmustalsolearntostate..."主要有两件事情，C选项是其中一个，另外一个选项中没有，排除A、B和D选项。

答案：C）Toprotestagainstthepoorworkingconditions.
解析：推理题。本题容易误选D选项。因为是heatingsystem出了故障。但通过下文"tooembarrassed""hadtheheatingsystemreplacedrightaway"从老板的反应及采取的措施可以推断出，员工们穿滑雪服地原因其实为对差的工作环境向老板提出抗议。

本文提要：
答案：
36.survive
37.distant
解析：这个空在future前面，所以预判该填形容词常用搭配无非near，close，distant等，根据听力原文，如上所述，确定是遥远的未来；填distant。
38.backward
39.discovered
解析：空缺部分作后置定语，从音频可知是发现(discovered)，用其过去完成时态。
40.scientific
解析：该空后接名词，应为形容词，scientific。
41.motion
解析：
42.predicted
解析：爱因斯坦在1905年时作出预测，用过去时predicted。
43.introduced
44.thatmoveataspeedgreaterthanlight,andtherefore,mightserveasourpassportstothepast.
解析：当下进行的研究旨在证实，是否有这样的物质，即能以超光速运行，并可以作为我们回归过去的“通行证”。填句只需意思相近就可以，关键抓住核心：超光速运行，可帮助人类回到过去。

47.tendto固定搭配；表示“倾向于；”符合句意；
49.根据推测，该处应该填入一个副词，题目给出的副词有efficiently,definitely,formally；前面提到，老年人在睡觉的时候更容易被打断，而后面用while提出一个对比的概念，年轻人相比起来能获得更_______的睡眠；综合起来，选用efficiently（最有效率的）最为准确。
50.beassociatedwith固定搭配；表示“与…联系在一起”；本句话表示“更多的睡眠通常都与健康度联系在一起”；
52.根据判断，此处应该填入一个动词，剩下的动词有cling,function；整句话的意思是“当我们上了年纪的时候，我们一觉睡到天亮的能力下降了，但是，我们需要…的睡眠量并没有改变；”空格后的单词是well，cling在这里并不合适，一般与to连用；选用function最为适合；
53.作者在首段已经提出这个观点是一个myth，那么显而易见最后一段中出现的myth是作为一种强调手段，应填入definitely；
54.空格的前面是whentheywere…，“当他们年轻的时候”；应填入younger；
55.本句的意思是“我们的数据显示老年人将从…获益；”空格的后面是“得到和他们在三十多岁的时候能得到的睡眠一样多”；根据上下文意思，该处应填入“continuing”；

总的说来，建议大家在做题之前对所给的所有词汇进行一下简单的词性分类，这样，更有助于考生快速有效地从最小的范围内选出答案。
答案：D.Interraciallodgingmayhavediverseoutcomes.
关键词：recentstudies,butalso
定位：题干中somerecentstudies提示答案定位在第一段第一句话。
解析：问题提问从最近的研究中我们可以了解到什么？第一段第一句中Severalrecentstudiesfoundthat…与题干对应，由此可知that后的就是recentstudies的内容，即beingrandomlyassignedtoaroommateofanotherracecanleadtoincreasedtolerancebutalsotoagreaterlikelihoodofconflict。其中“beingrandomlyassignedtoaroommateofanotherrace”对应了选项D中的“interraciallodging”，“can…butalso…”说明了interraciallodging是有利有弊的。因此D选项符合文意。而C选项“弊大于利”不符合文意,A“不同种族学生之间的争执是不可避免的”选项与B“不同种族的学生相互存在偏见”原文中没有明确提及
答案：D.Beingsurroundedbywhitepeersmotivatesablackstudenttoworkhardertosucceed.
关键词：surrounded,somethingtoprove
定位：题干中出现的人名SamBoakye提示答案定位在第四段第一句话。
解析：问题提问SamBoakye的话是什么意思？通过定位可以找到SamBoakye的那段话，即ifyou'resurroundedbywhites,youhavesomethingtoprove.这句话前面的插入语-theonlyblackstudentonhisfreshmanyearfloor-介绍了SamBoakye作为黑人学生的背景，帮助我们理解之前那句话：如果你的周围都是白人，那么一定会去证明些什么，言下之意就是选项D“白人同伴的存在会激励黑人学生更加努力地去取得成功”。而选项A,B,C在文中没有明确提及。本题选项C有个干扰信息“thefreshmanyear”，在原文中出现。某些考生看到这个词，不假思索就选择了这个选项，但没有搞懂原文的意思，导致错误选择。请考生留意。
59.WhatdoestheIndianUniversitystudyshow
答案：A.Interracialroommatesaremorelikelytofallout.
关键词：IndianUniversity,morelikely,
定位：题干中出现的机构名称IndianUniversity提示答案定位在第七段第一句话。
解析：问题提问IndianUniversity的研究显示了什么？通过定位可以发现研究结果显示Interracialroommatewerethreetimesaslikelyastwowhiteroommatestonolongerlivetogether，与选项A中的morelikelytofallout对应，因此选择D。此处，fallout应该理解为“散伙，分开”有些考生可能因为不理解意思而产生歧义，请考生留意。
60.WhatdoesAlecWebleyconsidertobethe“definitionofintegration”
答案：D.Theschoolrandomlyassignsroommateswithoutregardtorace.
关键词：AlecWebley,definitionofintegration
定位：题干出现的人名AlecWebley提示答案定位在第十段第一句。
解析：通过定位找到人名，人名后出现“Thisisthedefinitionofintegration”，由“this”可知人名前就是我们要找的答案，即theprocessthrowsyoutogetherrandomly，“throwyoutogetherrandomly”与“randomlyassign”对应。意思与选项D符合。因此，此处选择D。
答案：A.Itisunscientifictomakegeneralizationsaboutitwithoutfurtherstudy.
关键词：GraceKao,generalizations
答案：B.Ratesofdeathfromillnesseshaverisenduetoglobalwarming.
关键词：GlobalHumanitarianForum
定位：第一段、第二段
答案：A.Itwaschallengedbysomeclimateandriskexperts.
关键词：learn、Forum'sreport
定位：第三段
解析：根据顺序原则，我们在接下来的第三段里就找到了63题的答案。第三段的第一行就讲到“thereportdrewcriticismfromsomeexpertsonclimateandrisk”，这和A选项是完全相一致的，challenged是criticism的同义替换。B选项中的“interest”表示“兴趣”，主要用于好的事物，这里讲的都是对theForum'srepor的批评，显然就不合适了。C选项表达的意思跟原文正好相反，这个是肯定要排除的。然后，有的同学可能会选到D选项，可能是受到文中第四段“…primarilyinpoorcountries,werebeingseriouslyeffected…”这句话的影响。但是D选项中“abigstir”“一阵巨大的骚乱”文中是完全没有提到的。
答案：B.Itisinvalidintermsofmethodology.
关键词：Dr.Pielke、say
定位：第五段
解析：在第五段，我们可以很快找到Pielke，然后找到他说的话，第二行“theForum'sreportwas‘amethodologicalembarrassment'”,然后在第六行“butthereport,hesaid‘willharmthe…itissodeeplyflawed'”。根据这两句话，选项中invalid是flawed的同义替换，我们可以很容易地选到B。
答案：D.Itsroughestimatesaremeanttodrawtheattentionofworldleaders.
关键词：SorenAndreasen
定位：第六段
解析：在第六段的第二行和第三行，可以看到“thenumberwereroughestimates.Hesaidthereportwasaimedatworldleaders…”,根据这两句话，我们就能较轻松地将正确答案锁定在D选项。
答案：D.Howrichcountriescanbetterhelppoorregionsreduceclimatehazards.
关键词：KofiAnnan、focusoftheCopenhagenconference

这是一篇关于科学饮食的科技新闻。
从第一段中，我们可以获得全文主旨：科学饮食的真谛是从大处着眼，
67.第二段首句有个定语从句：科学饮食远不止分析每一口放到嘴里的饭。这里要选择一个介词，lift的原意是高举，在这里的意思就是“放到嘴边”，to表示方向。between表示在某某之间，不合题意。inside表示静态，与lift这个动作相矛盾。同理，B选项through，表示穿过，lift这个动作，到嘴边就结束了，并没有穿过嘴巴。
68.按照原文的逻辑，接下来的一句话，表达过去人们如何如何，是为了给出“靶子”加以批评，所以，我们需要继续往后读，读到作者提倡的做法，然后反向理解一下，便可选出答案。
69.根据语法搭配，只有key才可以和后面的to相搭配，所以选择A选项。
70.句首的but，是题眼，表达对比之意，所以，下文开始讲述“另一种”“不同的”饮食习惯。因此，选择B选项，different。
71.这里是个不定式短语，需要一个动词，由宾语heartdisease可知，“prevent”（预防）是最佳搭配。
72.考察和general搭配的介词，只有in符合语法。
73.需要一个动词和on搭配，语法上四个选项都可以搭配，只能从词义上判断，turnon表示打开，focuson表示注重，puton表示穿衣，carryon表示执行。根据宾语，“更广的层面”，可知应该选择focuson。
75.这里表示“是什么而不是什么”，应该用ratherthan才能准确达意。
76.这是个分词短语作后置定语修饰前面的“thisorthat”，这里的thisorthat代指食物。convey是表达，不搭配。enter可以表示“输入，记下”，也不和食物搭配。和食物搭配的只有B和D，consume表示，消费或消耗。exhaust表示耗尽。很明显，这里的食物并不会耗尽，所以只能选B选项。
77.需要个形容词，做后置定语，和forgoodhealth搭配，这里只有vital能和for搭配，表示“对…重要”。
78.这里是一个Themore…themore的固定表达，表示“越……越……”，这里用amazed表达科研人员，对新发现所产生的“惊奇之感”。
79.这里的they表示食物，结合后面的动词，构成定语从句，修饰“必备营养元素”，这里的用contain才能准确达意，“食物包含必备营养元素”
80.需要一个动词和with搭配，只能选择A和B，但从语义上判断，必备营养元素之间会相互反应，肯定不会相互干扰。因此只能选择interact。
81.这里需要一个介词和track搭配，只有ontherighttrack才符合语法
82.这里根据题意，“蔬菜、水果和谷物构成了饭菜的四分之三”，这里makeup表达“构成”之意。
83.这里需要一个动词，宾语是“剩余的四分之一”，从语义上理解，我们需要选择“填充”，因此，fillin是符合语法的。
84.这里需要一个动词，结合题意，这个空应该表达“不吃”，才能和前面的eat形成对比，这里的avoid，表达避免的意思，比delete（删除）更切题。
86.这里需要一个名词，和on搭配，只有impact符合题意。
总之，今年四级的完型填空，涉及3处名词，5处介词，7处动词，4处形容词和1处副词。
只有1题（第68题）需要整体把握，其余部分只要在句子内部或者句子之间进行上下文逻辑比对或语法搭配，即可完成。
PartVITranslation
87.Theuniversityauthoritiesdidnotapprovetheregulation,nordidtheymakeanyexplanation/nordidtheygivethereasonfordoingso(也没有解释为什么).
解析：本题考察了两个知识点。①nor的倒装句用法，后半句表示“也不”的否定意义，注意助动词的时态与上半句保持一致；②对某事做出解释的表达，考察了汉译英中动词转名词的技巧，explain→explanation，或者nordidtheygivethereasonfordoingso同样可以。
88.Janeistiredofdealingwithcustomercomplaintsandwishesthatshecouldbeassigned(to)anotherjob（能被分配做另一项工作）
解析：本题考察了wish从句的虚拟语气用法（can→could）和“分配某人做某事”的词组搭配，assignsb.tosth.或者assignsb.sth.
89.Johnrescuedthedrowningchildattheriskofhisownlife(冒着自己生命危险).
解析：本题考察了“冒着…的危险/风险做某事”的词组搭配，可以用attherisk/expenseofone'sownlife（冒着某人的生命危险做某事）
91.Althoughhewasinterestedinphilosophy,hisfatherpersuadedhiminto/talkedhiminto（他的父亲说服他）majoringinlaw.
解析：本题考察“说服某人做某事”的表达，persuade/talksb.intodoingsth.
整体评价：今年6月的翻译题难度适中，89和91题的词组搭配是拿分题，而87题的倒装结构和88题的虚拟语气用法也是广大四级考生的“老朋友”，不熟悉实在说不过去~
