2025年 考研英语一阅读理解（四选一） 第 4 篇 · 36–40 题答案与解析

题干 The author mentions the artifacts from the past to 用「mention X to do」结构，问的是举例服务于哪一个论点。

题干 The author mentions the artifacts from the past to 是一个待补全句，主干为 The author mentions ... to + 选项动词原形，to 引出目的状语，无陷阱。

• A)把例子当主题的典型干扰

  introduce the collection of antiques 把作者引子里 antiques store 当成主题；可作者讲古董店只是借场景举例，全文真正主题是保存，不是收藏。

• B)无中生有

  contrast them with everyday items 提到的「与日常物对比」原文从未出现，第一段只把 artifacts 视为留存样本，没有任何 everyday items 出现。

• C)✓ 正确
  • Yet these objects aren't truly ephemeral, because they're still here, decades, even centuries later. Why? Because they're tangible.↔bring up the issue of preservation

  预判「引出保存议题」与 bring up the issue of preservation 在动词（引出 vs bring up）与宾语（议题 vs the issue of preservation）上一一对应，直接锁定 C。

• D)偷换概念

  comment on their historical value 谈历史价值；原文 Yet these objects aren't truly ephemeral 讨论的是「为何能留存」，不是「它们有多少历史价值」。

题干 Compared with digital objects, tangible artifacts 不含 infer/imply 等推断信号，问的是作者直接陈述的对比属性。

题干 Compared with digital objects, tangible artifacts 中 Compared with digital objects 是过去分词短语作状语，逻辑主语是 tangible artifacts，主干仍是 tangible artifacts + 选项谓语。

• A)与原文相反

  are less subject to their creators' neglect 称有形物较少被创作者忽视；原文 often despite their original creators' neglect 恰恰说有形物常在创作者疏忽下仍然留存，并未说创作者对它们更上心。

• B)✓ 正确
  • The thing itself is the medium that delivers the information.↔convey information in a more direct way

  其它三项谈的是 neglect/preservation/damage，全在「保存难度」维度，与定位句「传递机制」不在同一语义场，故 B 是唯一与预判匹配的。

• C)与原文相反

  require more intentional preservation 称有形物需要更刻意的保存；原文 At the time of creation, no attempts were made at intentional preservation 恰说创作时没有刻意保存的努力，与选项相反。

• D)无中生有

  are less likely to suffer serious damage 说有形物不易受损；原文未在「受损程度」上比较有形与数字，第二段谈的是创作者保存意图与留存机会，不涉及损伤难度。

librarians' work may result in 问的是行为带来的具体结果，是段内客观信息的直接转述。

题干 According to Paragraph 3, librarians' work may result in 主干 work may result in + 选项名词性短语；情态动词 may 仅是缓和语气，不是推断信号。

• A)答非所问

  oversupply of materials 指材料供过于求；原文 embarrassment of historical riches, which brings its own needle-and-haystack problems 谈的是「检索难」（大海捞针），而非数量上的供过于求。且该句在第二段，不属于 Q38 限定的 Paragraph 3。

• B)✓ 正确
  • libraries are less vital for researchers today↔undervaluation of libraries

  预判「让用户贬低图书馆的价值」与 undervaluation of libraries 在主体（libraries）和动作（贬低/低估）上完全对应，因此锁 B。

• C)无中生有

  researchers' underperformance 称研究者表现不佳；第三段只说用户「认为图书馆不重要」，未评价研究者本身的表现高低。

• D)偷换概念

  users' overreliance on technology 把矛头对准「用户过度依赖科技」；原文谈的是用户因此低估图书馆的价值，而不是评价用户依赖科技本身是好是坏。

The "ZIP disk" is cited as an example to show 直接点明本题问举例的目的。

题干 The "ZIP disk" is cited as an example to show 中被动语态 is cited 的施事是作者，to show 引出目的状语，主语 ZIP disk 加引号强调原词出现。

• A)过度推断

  the hazard of retrieving files through unusual means 暗示作者警告「用非常手段取文件存在危险」；原文只问 how do I get the files off this，没有提及 unusual means 或 hazard 这类延伸。

• B)与原文相反

  the infeasibility of constantly migrating digital assets 说「持续迁移数字资产不可行」；原文 Without constant migration of digital assets 把持续迁移视为解决办法而非「不可行」，逻辑相反。

• C)✓ 正确
  • As technology advances and a format becomes obsolete, the object is useless.↔the possibility of losing information in obsolete formats
  • Have you ever stared helplessly at a ZIP disk, thinking: how do I get the files off this?↔the possibility of losing information in obsolete formats

  C 项 obsolete formats 与原文 a format becomes obsolete 直接对应，losing information 又能解释「文件取不出」的具体场景，是预判到答案的直接落点。

• D)张冠李戴

  the inconvenience of storing information on analog devices 把不便归到 analog devices；ZIP disk 是数字载体（digital），原文也专谈数字物的脆弱，张冠李戴。

Which of the following statements best summarizes the text 直接问全文主旨。

题干 Which of the following statements best summarizes the text 是疑问句，主语 Which of the following statements，谓语 best summarizes，宾语 the text，结构清晰，无陷阱。

• A)以偏概全

  Hard work should be done to preserve artifacts. 用泛泛的 artifacts 代替「数字记录」，没有点出数字时代这个核心矛盾；且文章主线不是泛泛号召 hard work，而是揭示数字保存的难处与图书馆员角色。

• B)以偏概全

  Contributions of librarians should be recognized. 只截取第三段「图书馆员被低估」一面，没覆盖第四段 ZIP disk 例子与第五段表态；文章主旨是数字记录保存的挑战，图书馆员的贡献只是论证中的一环。

• C)无中生有

  Accessing databases is essential to researchers. 谈数据库访问的必要性；原文 universality of access 只是作为「用户低估图书馆」的引子，文章并未论证数据库访问对研究者的必要性。

• D)✓ 正确
  • a nightmare about the foreseeable future is what keeps historians up at night: a historical record that abruptly stops when digital replaces analog↔Keeping digital historical records is a challenge.
  • I'd be lying if I said a comprehensive preservation solution currently exists↔Keeping digital historical records is a challenge.

  D 项把全文「难」+ 「可努力」的态度合在「a challenge」一个词里，覆盖 P2–P5 全部内容，且与作者既忧又持希望的口吻一致。
