2019年6月英语四级阅读答案及解析（卷二新东方版）
46 What is
the common view of mental function?
A.
It varies from person to person.
B. It
weakens in one’s later years.
C. It
gradually expands with age.
D. It
indicates one’s health condition.
答案：B [It
weakens in one’s later years]
难度：易
原文：Declining mental function is often seen as
a problem of
old age, but certain aspects of
brain function actually begin
their decline in
young adulthood, a new study suggests.
解析：题干问对mental function（精神状态功能）的common
view
（大众看法）是什么样的？
根据顺序原则（即第一题对应原文第一段）以及题干中的mental
function很快能够定位到原文第一段Declining mental function
is
often seen as a problem of old age,
原文这里的often seen
as对应题干中的common
view，所以能够判定答案一定和old
age相
关，据此排除A和D；再根据but（表示转折）后面说新的研究发现
mental
function在年轻时代已经慢慢减退，又but前后文内容相反，
所以在新的研究出来之前的co
mmon view认为“人老的时候，mental
function才减退”，所以答案选B
(later’s years)
47. What does the new
study find about mental function?
A. Some diseases inevitably lead to their
decline.
B. They reach a peak at the
age of 20 for most people.
C. They are
closely related to physical and mental
exercise.
D. Some of them begin to
decline when people are still
young.
答案：D [Some of them begin to decline when
people are still
young]
难度：易
原文：The study, which followed more than 2,000
healthy
adults between the ages of 18 and 60,
found that certain
mental functions-including
measures of abstract reasoning,
mental speed
and puzzle-solving-started to dull as early as
age 27.
解析：根据题干中的new study found以及顺序原则
（第二题对应原
文第二段）很快能够定位到原文第二段（根据主干和枝干的关系以及
标点符号的
作用可将第二段简化为）The study found that certain
mental
functions started to dull as early as age 27（）,这里<
br>也就是这个题的答案句，然后看一下选项，只有D选项是和该句意义
最接近的，其他选项在该句找
不到任何一句。
48. What does Timothy Salthouse
say about people’s minds in
most cases?
A. They tend to decline in people’s later
years.
B. Their flexibility determines
one’s abilities.
C. They function quite
well even in old age.
D. Their
functioning is still a puzzle to be solved.
答案：C [They function quite well in old age]
难度：易
原文：The results do not mean that
young adults need to start
worrying about
their memories. Most people’s minds function
at a high level even in their later years,
according to
researcher Timothy Salthouse.
解析：题干问Timothy Salthouse对绝大部分情况下的人的思维说了
什么？
根据题干中的人名Timothy Salthouse以及顺序原则能够很快定位到
原文第5段的末尾，这个时候一定要坚信答案不跨段，所以往第五段
前面看，往前看一句发现原文说M
ost people’s minds function at
a high level
even in their later
years，绝大部分人的脑子即便
到了老年还思维清晰，据此能够判定选C。
49. Although people’s minds may function less
flexibly as
they age, they_____
A.
may be better at solving puzzles
B. can
memorize things with more case
C. may
have greater facility in abstract reasoning
D. can put what they have learnt into more
effective use
答案：D [can put what they have
learnt into more effective
use]
难度：易
原文：“These patterns suggest that
some types of mental
flexibility decrease
relatively early in adulthood, but the
amount
of knowledge one has, and the effectiveness of
integrating it with one’s abilities, may
increase throughout
all of adulthood if there
are no diseases,”Salthouse said in
a news
release.
解析：题干问即使当人老的时候，人的思维可能变得不灵活，但是他
们怎么怎么着？
根据题干中的flexibility以及顺序原则，很快能够定位原文第6段
These
patterns suggest that some types of mental
flexibility
decrease relatively early in
adulthood, but that the amount
of knowledge
one has, and the effectiveness of integrating it
with one’s ability…原文这里出现了一个but，全宇宙人都知道
but
表示转折，而且转折后面是重点，所以答案就在but后面，你不用
理解它原文什么意思，抠一下字眼，
反正准确答案一定和knowledge，
effectiveness of
integrating相关，然后看一下选项，只有D里面
的effective use。
50. According to Salthouse, their study
may help us
_________
A. find ways
to slow down our mental decline
B. find
ways to boost our memories
C.
understand the complex process of mental
functioning
D. understand the relation
between physical and mental
health
答案：C [understand the complex process of mental
functioning]
难度：易
原文：The
findings shed light on normal age-related changes
in mental function, which could aid in
understanding the
process of
dementia(痴呆)，according to the researchers.
解析：题干问，根据Salthouse，他们的研究能够协助我们怎么着（干
什么？）
因为这是最后一题，所以我们先回原文最后一段定位，尝试找答案。
最后一段，上来
就是finding，这是我上课的时候给学生补充的关键词，
它出现时，后面一般会跟着重要信息，换
句话说就是答案。仔细看一
下原文，The findings shed light on
normal age-related changes
in mental function，
这个句话是主干，在四级阅读中，主干往往包
含重要信息，这时候看一下选项ABCD，发现做不出答案
，所以必须继
续往下读，后面是which could aid in understanding
the process
of 痴呆（which表示某种从句，从句的作用是对前文实行解释和补<
br>充），这时候看一下选项，只有C是符合原文这句的。
第二套
Section C Passage 2
Pre-kindergarten
education 篇
南京新东方卜银
南京新东方袁静
51. What does the author say about pre-
kindergarten education?
A. It should
cater to the needs of individual children.
B. It is essential to a person’s future
academic success.
C. Scholars and
policymakers have different opinions about
it.
D. Parents regard it as
the first phase of children’s
development.
答案：C
难度：易
原文：But it get
complicated. The concept has multiple forms,
and scholars policymakers argue about the
shape, scope, and
cost of the ideal
program.
解析：题干问关于学前教育，作者说了什么。根据题干中的pre-
kindergarten
education以及顺序原则（第一题对应原文第一段），
很快定位到原文第一段，但是发现做不出
来答案，所以继续往第二段
读，第二段开头就是but，因为but表示转折，转折之后是重点，不需<
br>要太多理解，反正答案一定和scholars and
policymakers相关，看
一下选项，只有C同时包含这两个，所以选C
52 What does the new Peabody study find?
A. Pre-K achievements usually do not last
long.
B. The third grade marks a new
phase of learning.
C. The third grade
is critical to children’s development.
D. Quality has not been the top concern of pre-K
programs.
答案：A
原文：A new Peabody
study of the Tennessee Voluntary Pre-K
program
reports that pre-K works, but the gains are not
sustained through the third grade.
难度：中
解析： 根据题干中的Peabody study
以及顺序原则，很快能够定位到
原文第四段，原文Peabody study出来之后，以of结构对
其实行介绍，
但介绍本身不重要，继续往后看到but，but表示转折，转折之后是重
点，t
he gains are not sustained through the third
grade.意思
是成果“战斗力不足、不持久”，所以选A。
53.
When does the author think pre-K works the
best?
A. When it is accessible to kids of
all families
B. When it is made part of
kid’s education
C. When it is no longer
considered a luxury.
D. When it is made
fun and enjoyable to kids
答案：B
原文：Pre-K is controversial. Some critics say it
is a luxury
and shouldn’t be free to families
able to pay. Pre-K
advocates insist it is
proven and will succeed if integrated
with the
rest of the child’s schooling. I lean toward the
latter view.
难度：中
解析：题干问，作者认为pre-K学前教育什么时候效果？根据顺序原
则能够定位到原文第5
段，来看一下这个段结构，作者开头就说Pre-K
是有争议的，然后给出了两种对立的观点，然后作者
表了态，说I
lean toward the latter
view我倾向于后一个观点，而后一个观点说
如果和孩子的学校教育结合的话，Pre-
K就会成功，所以答案就应该选
B（当Pre-K成为孩子教育的一部分）
54
What do we learn about Mayor Meagan Barry?
答案：A
难度：易
原文：This is,
in any case, the right conversation to be
having now as Mayor Megan Barry takes office.
She was the
first candidate to speak out for
strong pre-K programming.
This important thing
is for all of us to keep in mind the
real goal
and the longer, bigger picture.
解析：根据题干中的人名Mayor Megan
Barry能够很快定位到原文第5
段，当Mayor Megan
Barry出现时，原文对她的身份实行的介绍，介
绍本身不重要，所以往后读，This
important thing…后面的内容提
示我们，答案一定与real
goal相关，看一下选项，只有A对。
55. What does the
author think is critical to kid’s
education?
A. Teaching method.
B. Kids’ interest.
C. Early
intervention
D. Parents’ involvement.
答案：A
难度：中
原文：For this
purpose, our schools need both the talent and
the organization to educate each child who
arrives at the
schoolhouse door. Some show up
ready, but many do not at this
critical time
when young brains are developing rapidly.
根据以上解析，我们清楚的看到，绝大部分的仔细阅读题，主要还是
靠定位，此处附上定位的标准步骤以
及仔细阅读的做法：
定位方法
读题干，划出定位词
(名词(专名)人名引言关键性动词原因三个
为佳)，然后按照顺序原则(即第一题对应第一段，以此类
推)定位到原
文的相对应段落，然后精读分析，后答题。
仔细阅读做法
①先读题，了解题干信息→②划定位词（大写人名关键性动词名词）
→③按顺序原则
回原文定位，找到区间，答案不跨段，一定在定位区
间附近，所以上读读，下读读→④根据区间分析选项
→⑤综合使用阅
