2018年12月份的英语四级已经进入重要阶段，你筹备好了吗？虽然现阶段不少同学都已经开始不想做题了，但历年四级真题还是要看一眼的，可能就会有意料之外的收成。所以，今天一块儿做英语四级真题复习资料吧。
Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Britain is not just one country and one people; even if some of its inhabitants think so. Britain is, in fact, a nation which can be divided into several parts, each part being an individual country with its own language, character and cultural . Thus Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales do not claim to to "England" because their inhabitants are not "English". They are Scottish, Irish or Welsh and many of them prefer to speak their own native tongue, which in turn is to the others.
These cultural minorities have been Britain's original inhabitants. In varying degrees they have managed to their national characteristics, and their particular customs and way of life. This is probably even more true of the areas where traditional life has not been so affected by the of industrialism as the border areas have been. The Celtic races are said to be more emotional by nature than the English. An Irish temper is legendary. The Scots would rather about their reputation for excessive thrift and prefer to be remembered for their folk songs and dances, while the Welsh are famous for their singing. The Celtic as a whole produces humorous writers and artists, such as the Irish Bernard Shaw, the Scottish Robert Bums, and the WelshDylan Thomas, to mention but a few.

I) preserve
J) strictly
K) traditions
L) reserve
M) growth
N) apply

【参考答案】
26.【分析】 D。此处应填形容词，修饰名词parts。文章首句即提出看法Britain is notjust one country and one people“英国不仅仅是一个国家和一个民族”，又从后文的divided int0，each part与individual corn.时可知英国被分成几个离别的部分，选项中只有separate表达了这个意思，故D正确。
27.【分析】 K。此处应填名词。选项中有四个词temper temperament，traditions和growth，能和language和character并列且能被cultural修饰只有traditions，其他几个名词不符合文意。
28.【分析】 0。此处应填动词原形。前文中说明英国被分成独立的几部分，各自保留我们的文化传统;后文中“because…”说明苏格兰、北爱尔兰与威尔士的居民否认自己是“English”，说明他们并否认自己是“England”，故这里应该选择belon9。apply也可以和t0连用，但apply t0表示“将……应用于”，不符合上下文意思。
29.【分析】 J。此处应填形容词或副词修饰English。选项中的副词有generally和strictly，文中要表达的意思是由于这几个部分都有我们的语言和文化传统，所以严格来讲，他们不是“English”，但他们都是English。故strictly符合文意。generally“通常地，大体地”放在原文意义上不够严谨。三个形容词不可以使语义通顺。
30.I分析l A。此处应填形容词。以前文中“prefer to speak their own native tongue”，即苏格兰语、爱尔兰语和威尔士语，而这类语言对the others来讲是陌生的，听不懂的。那样就不难从选项中的in le和understandable中选择前者，故incomprehensible“不可以理解的”正确。
31.【分析】I。由manage t0结构可知此处要填的是动词原形。选项中的动词原形还有forget，preserve，和apply。从下文中“traditional life has not been SO affected”可知他们成功地保留了我们的传统，排除forget和apply;reserve和preserve都有“保留”的意思，前者指存留起来以派别的用场，后者指想方法维持原样，强调抵制破坏原因，故preserve符合文意。
32.【分析】C。此处应填形容词修饰areas。从后文“where traditional life has not been SO affected by the…of industrialism…大家的传统生活受工业化……的影响没那样大的地方”可以推知，这类地方是比较偏远的地方，选项中的remote。偏僻的，遥远的”符合上下文意思。
33.【分析】 M。此处应填名词。border area“边界区域”的工业化进步比remote area要快，所以此处要填的词是表示上升、增长的词，表示工业化的进步，选项9rowth“增长，进步”符合上下文意思。
34.【分析】F。此处应填动词原形。would rather和prefer意思相同，表示“宁可”的意思。前面说的是过分节俭的坏名声，后面说的是宁可叫人记住他们的民歌与舞蹈。所以填入动词的意思应该与remember意思相反，选项中的forget符合上下文意思。
35.【分析】 H。此处应填名词。选项中剩下的名词还有temper和temperament。前者指脾气，指情绪上的主要特点，后者指特点、风韵，尤指带感情色彩的个性和在社交上的个性。这里指的是整个凯尔特民族的特点，故temperament正确。
好了，以上是我们收拾的英语四级真题的选词填空部分（不含听力与作文）。在选词语时必须要结合句子上下文仔细斟酌，注意辨析词语。最后预祝大伙都能顺利通过英语四级考试！
