2015年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀高頻考點(diǎn)：因果關(guān)系處

　　四六級(jí)大綱在閱讀理解部分都指出：測(cè)試學(xué)生通過(guò)閱讀獲取書(shū)面信息的能力

　　常見(jiàn)表因果的詞語(yǔ)：because, why, the reason, for, so, since, as a result等。

　　同樣值得注意的是：當(dāng)why引導(dǎo)一個(gè)問(wèn)句時(shí)，考點(diǎn)出處往往是緊接著回答此問(wèn)題的句子或相鄰的幾個(gè)羅列點(diǎn)或相連幾段話的首句。

　　例：(因果)American tourists, however, shouldn’t expect any relief soon. The dollar lost strength the way many marriages break up- slowly, and then all at once. And currencies don’t turn on a dime. So if you want to avoid the pain inflicted by the increasingly pathetic dollar, cancel that summer vacation to England and look to New England. There, the dollar is still treated with a little respect.

　　55. What is the author’s advice to Americans?

　　A. They treat the dollar with a little respect

　　B. They try to win in the weak-dollar gamble

　　C. They vacation at home rather than abroad

　　D. They treasure their marriages all the more.

　　【答案】C

　　【解析】面對(duì)美元貶值給美國(guó)人帶來(lái)的民族自尊上的困擾，作者給美國(guó)人提出建議：如果想要避免困擾，最好取消去英國(guó)的旅行，轉(zhuǎn)而前往新英格蘭(美國(guó)的一個(gè)地區(qū))旅行。換句話說(shuō)，作者建議取消去國(guó)外的旅行，轉(zhuǎn)而在國(guó)內(nèi)旅行。
