2015年6月·第3套 英语四级阅读理解（四选一） 第 2 篇 · 51–55 题答案与解析

题干 What does the author say about vacationing? 是对作者某一具体表态的提问，没有 infer / imply / mainly about 等推断或主旨信号。

题干 What does the author say about vacationing? 是标准 wh- 疑问句：what 作 say 的宾语，about vacationing 是介词短语作 say 的状语修饰，主干清晰、无陷阱。

• A)无中生有

  原文只说衰退期可能不去度假，并未说衰退期反而更享受度假；enjoy it all the more during a recession 是无中生有。

• B)偷换概念

  原文是说作者认为辛苦工作”应当”换来度假，并未说”只有努力工作才能负担得起”；Few people can afford it without working hard 把作者的价值主张偷换成了一句关于”经济可负担性”的客观规律。

• C)✓ 正确
  • we work hard and what's the point if you can't go on holiday↔It makes all the hard work worthwhile
  • we work hard↔all the hard work

  预判说”度假让辛苦工作有意义”，C 项 It makes all the hard work worthwhile 与之完全对应——主语 it 指 vacationing，谓语 makes…worthwhile 即”使……值得”。

• D)过度推断

  P1 仅写”我”和伴侣关于度假的小争论，且明言今年衰退反倒不会再吵；P2 才把家庭最大矛盾归到 money 上。把度假说成”家庭纠纷的首要原因”是范围与因果的双重夸大。

题干 What does the author mean by saying "money is known…to bring a relationship to its knees" 正是要求对一句带习语意味的原句作释义。

What does the author mean by saying "…"? 中 by saying 是方式状语，引号内 money is known to bring a relationship to its knees 用了习语 bring sb./sth. to its knees（使……屈服／陷入困境），主语 money 配 be known to do（被普遍认为会…）。基础薄弱考生易被 to its knees 直译为”跪下”而误解。

• A)偷换概念

  原句说的是金钱会”摧毁关系”，并未给金钱本身做善恶定性；A 借用了俗语 "money is the root of all evils"（金钱是万恶之源），偷换概念。

• B)无中生有

  原文谈的是金钱对关系的破坏，未涉及”为金钱牺牲尊严”；Some people sacrifice their dignity for money 是无中生有。

• C)偷换概念

  原句讲金钱摧毁关系，而非人抵抗不住金钱诱惑；Few people can resist the temptation of money 把”破坏关系的力量”偷换为”诱惑力”。

• D)✓ 正确
  • money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees↔Disputes over money may ruin a relationship
  • most likely to↔may

  预判”金钱会让关系垮掉”几乎逐字对应 Disputes over money may ruin a relationship，是隐喻直译型答案。

题干 The YouGov poll of 2,000 people indicates that in a recession ______ 是对一项具体调查结论的客观转述。

题干是补全句：主语 The YouGov poll of 2,000 people 配谓语 indicates，宾语从句 that in a recession ______ 待补全。in a recession 是从句内的时间状语，不能丢。

• A)✓ 正确
  • arguing more with their partners↔conflicts between couples tend to rise
  • 22% said they were arguing more↔tend to rise

  预判”伴侣间冲突上升”几乎逐字对应 conflicts between couples tend to rise，是数据题的标准抽象型答案。

• B)张冠李戴

  financial pressures mean couples argue more but make splitting up less affordable 确实提到分手成本变高，但这是作者紧跟在调查结果之后给出的另一层分析，不是 YouGov poll 的结论。题干限定主语是 The YouGov poll，故 B 张冠李戴。

• C)与原文相反

  原文说伴侣因钱争吵更多，与选项 couples show more concern for each other（更关心对方）极性正相反。

• D)与原文相反

  原文 What's less clear is whether divorce and separation rates rise in a recession 明言离婚/分居率是否上升尚不清楚；选项 divorce and separation rates increase 把”不清楚”直接断定为”上升”，与原文相反。

题干 What does Kim Stephenson believe? 询问具体人物的具体观点，不涉及推断或主旨。

标准 wh- 疑问句，主语 Kim Stephenson，谓语 believe，宾语 what 提前；结构平铺直叙，无陷阱。

• A)以偏概全

  men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status 仅是 Stephenson 用来说明男女差异的一个例子，且 status 只属男性视角；选项 Money is often a symbol of a person's status 把它升格成”对所有人而言金钱即地位”，是 Stephenson 论点的偏移。

• B)偷换概念

  原文重心是”对男女意味不同”，而非”对男女都很重要”；Money means a great deal to both men and women 抹平了 Stephenson 想强调的差异性。

• C)偷换概念

  Stephenson 谈的是金钱的象征意义对男女不同（视角/含义），不是”实际花钱去买的东西不同”（行为／用途）；选项把象征层偏移到了消费层。

• D)✓ 正确
  • what it symbolises, which may be different things to men and women↔Men and women view money in different ways

  预判”男女看待金钱方式不同”几乎逐字对应 Men and women view money in different ways。

题干 The author suggests at the end of the passage that couples should ______ 限定在末段，问的是具体建议，不需跨段整合。

题干为待补全句：主干 The author suggests…that couples should ______；插入语 at the end of the passage 仅作定位提示。that 引导宾语从句，主语 couples、情态动词 should 后跟原形动词的位置正是答案要填的部分。

• A)与原文相反

  末段 who's paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately 显示作者认同”既有共同账户也有各自留存”的安排，而非要求把钱完全合并；put their money together instead of keeping it separately 与原文倾向相反。

• B)与原文相反

  原文 you don't have to agree about money 明言”不必达成一致”；make efforts to reach agreement on their family budgets 把”不必一致”翻转成”努力达成一致”。

• C)✓ 正确
  • you have to talk about it↔discuss money matters to maintain a healthy relationship
  • In a healthy relationship↔to maintain a healthy relationship

  预判”必须就金钱进行沟通以维持健康关系”逐字对应 discuss money matters to maintain a healthy relationship。

• D)偷换概念

  原文建议主动 talk about 金钱以维持健康关系；avoid arguing about money matters to remain romantic 把”沟通”偷换为”回避争论”——回避正是作者反对的（more of a taboo about talking about money than about death 即是在批评回避）。
