2025年6月·第3套 英语四级阅读理解（四选一） 第 1 篇 · 46–50 题答案与解析

What do we learn about American society from the first paragraph? 是 what...learn 型客观信息问答，且范围锁定首段，属于典型细节题。

Q46 主干是 What do we learn about American society，from the first paragraph 是状语限定信息来源；句子平铺直叙、无陷阱。

• A)无中生有

  It sees lots of personal income wasted on beauty products. 把 over $722 each year on their appearance 的客观花费篡改为 "被浪费"，原文从未做此评价。

• B)✓ 正确
  • places a high value on physical beauty↔considers one's physical appearance very important

  预判 "美国社会把外貌看得很重要" 与 considers one's physical appearance very important 字面贴合，无需推断。

• C)偷换概念

  places a high value on the physical fitness of stars 把 "看重外貌" 的主体悄悄换成 "明星的 physical fitness"；原文 One in ten Americans has tried to look like a star 只说有人想模仿明星，未谈明星本身的体魄。

• D)过度推断

  It expects every individual to look their very best. 把 Our society places a high value on physical beauty 升级为 "要求每一个人都做到最好"，强度与范围都被拔高。

What happens when people strive to look better? 询问某动作引发的客观后果，是典型的因果型细节题。

Q47 主干 What happens 后接 when 引导的时间状语从句，提示发生条件；结构简单无陷阱。

• A)张冠李戴

  They have to get prepared for resentment and bitter court battles. 把第 4 段说明影星案例的 resentment and bitter court battles 强行移植到 Q47 的情境中，但原文从未把这描述为追求外表的 "必然准备"。

• B)与原文相反

  They are better able to gain attention, love, and personal connection. 把原文 what we think will bring attention, love, and connection 中 "我们以为会带来" 的主观期待包装成客观事实，方向恰好与作者批评意图相反。

• C)✓ 正确
  • fail to attend to ourselves in a way that would move us toward deeper intimacy, fulfillment, and meaning↔neglect to cultivate the inner qualities that matter more

  预判 "疏于关照内在更要紧的部分" 几乎逐字对应 neglect to cultivate the inner qualities that matter more。

• D)偷换概念

  They feel much of their precious time, energy and resources is wasted. 把作者对 time, energy, and money 的客观描述换成 "他们自己觉得被浪费"，主体变成 they feel；原文未提及当事人有此自觉。

What does the author say about outer beauty? 询问作者就某概念的明确陈述，归入细节题。

Q48 主干 What does the author say，about outer beauty 是介词短语状语；无难句结构。

• A)无中生有

  It may be inherited or cultivated. 谈外貌的来源（遗传/后天培养），原文从未讨论外貌的获得方式。

• B)偷换概念

  It may lead to bad as well as good habits. 把 Outer beauty can be as much of a curse as a blessing. 改成 "导致好坏习惯"，对象层面从 "对人生整体的祸福" 缩到 "习惯"。原文确实提到 develop a habit，但说的是 "只关注外表的习惯"，并非 "好习惯/坏习惯" 的对照。

• C)与原文相反

  It may create connection or isolation. 称外貌可能创造 connection；但 P5 P6 都说 connection 来自 inner qualities / meeting of inner worlds，外貌不直接创造 connection。

• D)✓ 正确
  • as much of a curse as a blessing↔do as much harm as good

  预判 "坏处与好处一样多" 直接命中 do as much harm as good，无需推断。

What brings about spiritual connection? 询问导致某结果的原因，对应原文中一处明确的因→果叙述。

Q49 主干 What brings about spiritual connection，brings about=cause/lead to，是一个三个单词的简单疑问句。

• A)✓ 正确
  • the meeting of our inner worlds↔Meeting of minds.

  预判 "内在世界相遇" 几乎逐字对应 Meeting of minds.。

• B)与原文相反

  Attraction at first sight. 对应 our initial attraction，但原文明确说这只是 "in part" 的初始吸引，并非 spiritual connection 的来源。

• C)与原文相反

  Physical chemistry. 直接抓取 physical chemistry 这一原词，但原文用 While 让步结构说明它只贡献 initial attraction，不是 spiritual connection 的来源。

• D)无中生有

  Frequent interaction. 谈交往频率，原文从未提及 spiritual connection 来自频繁互动。

What happens when we take the path toward cultivating inner beauty? 仍是 what happens when 的因果型问法，问的是文章对此动作所述的结果。

Q50 主干 What happens，when 从句中 take the path toward cultivating inner beauty 用了介词短语作 path 的修饰，toward 后接动名词 cultivating，提示这是个比喻：把培养内在美比作走一条路。

• A)与原文相反

  We may find a route toward other people's souls. 让 "我们走向别人的灵魂"；原文 P7 描述的是别人走向真实的我们，方向与重点都不一致。

• B)以偏概全

  We may be appreciated more by people around us. 把 "被那些契合的人欣赏" 扩大为 "被周围所有人更多地欣赏"；原文紧前一句明说 Not everyone will see us and appreciate us，恰好否定 "被周围人普遍更欣赏"。

• C)✓ 正确
  • Eventually we'll find those compatible souls who appreciate us as we are.↔We will meet people who value us for who we are.

  预判 "最终遇到欣赏真实自我的人" 与 We will meet people who value us for who we are. 几乎逐字对应。

• D)与原文相反

  We will be discouraged from revealing our true selves. 称我们会被打消展露真我的念头；但原文 if they don't, it is their loss, not ours 是鼓励继续展露自我，与选项方向相反。
