英語四級完型填空練習(xí)(10)
A language is a signaling system which operates with symbolic vocal sounds (語聲), and which is used by a group of people for the purpose of communication.
Let’s look at this 61 in more detail because it is language, more than anything else, 62 distinguishes man from the rest of the 63 world.
Other animals, it is true, communicate with one another by 64 of cries: for example, many birds utter 65 calls at the approach of danger; monkeys utter 66 cries, such as expressions of anger, fear and pleasure. 67 these various means of communication differ in important ways 68 human language. For instance, animals’ cries do not 69 thoughts and feelings clearly. This means, basically, that they lack structure. They lack the kind of structure that 70 us to divide a human utterance into 71.
We can change an utterance by 72 one word in it with 73: a good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g., “tanks approaching from the north”, 74 who can change one word and say “aircraft approaching from the north” or “tanks approaching from the west”; but a bird has a single alarm cry, 75 means “danger!”
This is why the number of 76 that an animal can make is very limited: the great tit (山雀) is a case 77 point; it has about twenty different calls, 78 in human language the number of possible utterances is 79. It also explains why animal cries are very 80 in meaning.

【答案】：
61.B 62.C 63.C 64.B 65.C
66.C 67.A 68.C 69.D 70.B
71.C 72.A 73.C 74.B 75.C
76.C 77.A 78.A 79.C 80.B
【答案解析】：
61.B 此題考查普通詞匯。上文給出的明顯是語言的定義，因此，答案選definition。
62.C 此題考查的語法點是定語從句。從空缺前的逗號可以推斷出，這是個非限定性定語從句，四個選項中，能作為非限定性定語從句的關(guān)系代詞的只有as，表達“正如語言將人類和其他物質(zhì)區(qū)分開來的一樣�！�
63.C 此題考查上下文理解。語言將人和物質(zhì)世界的其他物質(zhì)區(qū)分開來。
64.B 此處考查固定搭配，by means of表示“通過……方式或途徑”。因此，選B。
65.C 此處考查詞匯和上下文理解，在危險來臨之際，鳥兒們發(fā)出的應(yīng)該是警告聲。故選warning。
66.C 從后文可得知，猴子能通過聲音表達憤怒、恐懼和高興。由此推斷可知，猴子發(fā)出的叫聲應(yīng)該是不同的。故選C。
67.A 此處考查介詞及上下文理解，作者旨在拿動物發(fā)出的聲音和人類的語言進行比較。前文敘述動物也能發(fā)出不同的聲音，這里說的是動物的交流方式與人類語言在幾個重大的方面是不同，前后文為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。故選but。
68.C 此處考查固定搭配：differ from(與……不同)。
69.D infer表示“推斷”，explain指“解釋”，interpret表示“解釋、說明”。這里選express(表達)最符合文意。
70.B 見71題。
71.C 這兩題放在一起來分析。原文意思應(yīng)是：“人類擁有能把話語細分成單詞的某種結(jié)構(gòu)，而動物卻沒有�！�70題的encourage(勇敢)，enforce(強迫)，ensure(保證)都不符合題意。而71題，比話語更小的單位應(yīng)該是words。故此題選C。
72.A 此題考查上下文理解。下文舉例說明的部分提到將一句話的某個詞換成另外的詞，由此推斷可知，此處選擇replace(代替)。
73.C 表達用另一個詞代替，用another。
74.B 此題考查上下文理解，會說一句話和能夠把這句話里的某個單詞用別的詞替換，這之間表達的應(yīng)是一種并列關(guān)系。故選B。
75.C 此題考查非限定性定語從句，必須用which。
76.C 動物發(fā)出的聲音不能形容為“標記”、“記號”或是“手勢”，因此，只有signal信號才是正確選擇。
77.A 此處考查固定搭配。in point指“適用的，相關(guān)的”
78.A 作者將山雀能發(fā)出20種叫聲與人類語言能發(fā)出更多的聲音相比較，這里應(yīng)該選擇轉(zhuǎn)折連詞：whereas(然而)。
79.C 參照上題，此處將人能發(fā)出的聲音數(shù)量與動物進行比較。boundless(無界限的)，changeable(多變的)，ceaseless(不停歇的)，因此，正確選項是C。
80.B 根據(jù)上文，動物只能發(fā)出有限的聲音，那它們。

小結(jié)：
從以上這幾個表格可以總結(jié)，近幾年的大學(xué)英語四級考試的完型填空部分重點考查詞匯，其次是固定搭配，然后是某些常用連詞和介詞的用法，最后可能涉及某一個語法結(jié)構(gòu)，而定語從句的關(guān)系代詞又是最�？嫉�。
而這次考查的固定搭配是：by means of(以……的'方式)，differ from(與……不同)和in point(相關(guān)的)。連詞包括：but，and，whereas，其中以表達轉(zhuǎn)折的連詞考的居多。

答案與解析：
1.A
根據(jù)下一句及隨后的內(nèi)容，本文講的是怎樣成為動物愛好者的(從小就喜歡動物)，應(yīng)當選擇A.how。
2.C
in the first place是固定短語,意思是“首先”。此句意思是：別人經(jīng)常問到的問題之一，是當初我是如何愛上動物的。
3.A
這句話的意思是：作者在呀呀學(xué)語之時,最早發(fā)清楚的音是“zoo”(動物園),而不是“媽媽”,“爸爸”,因此,應(yīng)選clarity“清晰”。填入其他選項emotion(感情),sentiment(多愁善感),affection(友愛)不合邏輯。
4.B
but在此處連接另一個句子(it was the word“zoo”,“it was”被省略)，表示轉(zhuǎn)折，意為“而是”，Except,except for,but for的用法接近，表示“除了……”。
從意思上，邏輯上，都應(yīng)當選but。
5.D
根據(jù)后面的over and over again,應(yīng)選“repeat”
6.C
小孩想去動物園,便不停地發(fā)出尖叫聲,故選“voice”。A shrill voice與scream的意思接近。volume(音量)；noise(噪音)；pitch(音調(diào))均不合要求。
7.B
shut sb.up是指讓某人住口，為了讓孩子停止尖叫，只好帶他去動物園。
8.A
根據(jù)后面主句的時態(tài)，此處只能用一般過去時。
9.C
a great many后直接跟可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式；a great / large amount of后跟不可數(shù)名詞；只有a great /large number of后可以跟可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式。
10.D
living后必須接介詞in，意為“居住”；cultivating耕種；reclaiming開墾；只有exploring有探察的意思。
11.C
add to相當于increase，增加。其余選項后面都不接to。
12.A
later on為固定短語，“后來”。
13.D
attendant仆人；keeper可理解為“飼養(yǎng)員”，但是a student keeper容易被誤解為“收留學(xué)生的人”；aide有“助手”之義。作者一邊上學(xué)，一邊在動物園里打工，只能當助手。
14.D
which在此引導(dǎo)定語從句，修飾前面列出的動物。
15.D
因為錢是在動物園打工掙的，選successfully更能體現(xiàn)其含義。
16.D
finance my first trip意為“支付我的旅行費用”；pay后應(yīng)接介詞for；其他選項的意思相差遠。
17.B
此句為現(xiàn)在完成進行時態(tài),選regularly比較貼切。
18.D
此句是由though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句，應(yīng)與主句意思相對立。選項中，sorrows和disappointments與主句的appeal to相對立，但sorrows的分量太重。
19.C
appeal to為成語，意思是“吸引”。
20.B
excursion短途旅行；journey(從一地到另一地的)長距離，具體的旅途；travel旅行，旅游，海外旅行；trip旅行，遠足。
