2018年6月英语四级试题英语四级阅读练习

【参考答案】
51.C） They all experienced terrible misfortunes. 　　
解析：题干关键词the three Olympic class ships。根据顺序原则回原文定位到第一段最后一句话 “All in all， the Olympic class ships were marvels of sea engineering， but they seemed cursed to suffer disastrous fates。”重点在but转折后，文意这三艘船似乎都被诅咒遭遇遭遇灾难性的命运。故答案选择C.terrible misfortunes是 disastrous fates的同义转换。　
52.B） The utmost comfort passengers could enjoy. 　　
解析：题干大意白星航运公司在购买三艘船时考虑到了什么？定位句：“White Star Line decided to focus on marking them the most luxurious ships on the water。”想要他们成为水上最奢华的船。据此答案选择B。
53.A） It was a mere piece of decoration。 　　
解析：根据关键词 the fourth stack of the ships。定位到“but the fourth stack was actually just artistic in nature and served no functional purpose。 ”文意第四个栈有艺术感但是没有任何功能性的用途。故答案选择A。 　　
54.A） Their unscientific designs.　
解析：题干大意是什么可能导致了Titanic和Britannic的悲剧。定位到原文 “they were all designed with double hulls （船体） believed to make them “unsinkable”， perhaps a mistaken idea that led to the Titanic‘s and the Britannic’s tragic end。” 故选择A，正是这种不科学的设计导致其覆亡。原文double hulls指双船体，选项D中为double layer body为双层船体，二者不是同一概念，故排除选项D。 　　
55.D） She was retired after her naval service。
解析：问题奥林匹克船最后发生了什么。定位句“Eventually， she was taken out of service in 1935。”taken out of service和retired 同义词转换，故选择D。
