　　2024上半年大学英语四级阅读理解模拟题（21）

　　Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

　　We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money, but most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “And Paul — why didn't I pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.

　　Why do we go wrong about our friends — or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You're a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You're a lucky guy” or “You're a lucky gal,” that's being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.

　　“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker　is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.

　　How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does　what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his　eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

　　21.When the writer recalls the things that happened between him and his friends, he ____.

　　A) feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him

　　B) feels he may not have “read” his friends' true feelings correctly

　　C) thinks it was a mistake to view Jim as a friend

　　D) is sorry that his friends let him down

　　22.By saying “You're a lucky dog.”, the speaker ____.

　　A) is just being friendly

　　B) expresses the same meaning as “You're a lucky guy.” or“You ' re a lucky gal.”

　　C) is humorous to apply the word “dog” to people

　　D) has a hidden jealous feeling behind the words

　　23.In listening to a person, the important thing is ____.

　　A) to notice his tone, his posture, and the look in his eye

　　B) to listen to how he pronounces his words

　　C) to check his words against his manner, his tone of voice, and his posture

　　D) not to believe what he says

　　24.If you followed the advice of the writer, you would ____.

　　A) weigh carefully what people say to determine their real meaning

　　B) get along well with people

　　C) trust what other people say

　　D) have no doubts about our friends

　　25.This passage tries to tell you how to ____.

　　A) avoid mistakes about both money and people

　　B) say things elegantly

　　C) avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you

　　D) keep people friendly without trusting them

　　参考答案：

　　21.答案B。第一段倒数第二句说：“当我们回顾往事时，象这样的疑惑 (即猜不透他人 的真正意思 )会使我们感到糟糕。”据此以及第一段中的往事可推知当他回忆他和朋友之间 发生的几件事时，他感到可能没有觉察出朋友们对他的真正感情，故B正确。

　　22.答案D。第二段的倒数第四句说 lucky dog“有点嫉妒之意”，因“dog”有点贬低 人，故 D正确而C错。而“You're a lucky guy.”or“You're a lucky gal.”却表示友好之意，故A和B皆错。

　　23.答案C。见最后一段开头的几个问句。

　　24.答案A。由最后两句话可知，作者建议我们仔细掂量以确定对方的真正含义，所以 应选 A。

　　25.答案C。文章第一段举例说明我们在领会他人真正的意思上犯有错误， 接着举例 说明人们所说的话是怎样掩盖了他们真正的意思，最后一段告诉我们如何领会他人的真 正意思。全文都是围绕“如何领会他人暗含之意”展开的，据此可推知 C正确。
