二、听力技巧
四级听力一直困扰着我们每一位考生，听不懂磁带中的内容是什么，不知道该如何选择，而听力在英语四级考试中又占很大一部分比重，掌握好英语四级听力技巧才能快速提高英语成绩，以下总结出几点有关英语四级听力技巧。
听力技巧一：学会取舍，理解内容
听力考试中最忌讳的就是词词计较，力求听懂所有词。其实，听懂所有词首先没必要，其次也不可能。我们在日常生活中听中文时，无论听什么，注意力都不会在每一个字或词上面，而是对文段或对话内容的整体的理解上。何况我们听的是英文，在英文句子中，对不同的词本身就有弱读和重读。
听力技巧二：扫视材料，预测内容
当广播中朗读听力要求时，我们要充分利用这个时间，迅速扫视书面文字中的题干及选项，通过扫视联系上下文，有根据地预测文段发生的时间、场所、人物，并预测出谈话的大致内容。并且，在扫视中我们对提出的问题尤其要注意。这样做的结果是听录音时我们可以有的放矢，做到有备而来，心中有数。
听力技巧三：注重首句，抓住主旨
在听长文段时，由于信息多，而且听力不同于阅读，朗读速度非常快，需要我们快速做出反应，所以在听的时候就更应当注意主旨大意。在阅读中我们知道作者一般会在首句或首段道出文段的中心大意、或对所阐述内容进行概括，有些作者也会在结尾时再一次点题。文 2
滴水渐累成沧海，拳石频移成泰山 祝大家顺利过级 段中间部分主要是细节，或是作者为了证实自己的观点，进一步举出例证，这一部分基本上是事实或是细节。了解了这个特点后，我们在听录音材料时就可以有目的地听。如果为了解答主旨问题就要着眼于首句，如果为了回答细节问题就要注意中间部分。
听力技巧四：简单记录，便于辨认
长文段听力中细节很多，所以只靠脑子记忆确实有困难。我们在做长文段听力时可以做一些简单的记录。这种记录要非常简练，要记重要环节。如文中提及的人物、事件、时间、地点、原因、方式、程度、数字、选择等信息都非常重要。笔记要提纲挈领，达到帮助记忆、推断和答题的目的即可。记录的方法多种多样。可以使用符号、画图、缩写形式等，只要自己能辨认就可以了。
听力技巧五：连贯记忆，准确推理
听录音时，既要不断输入、理解、存贮信息，又要不打断听的过程；既要集中精力听，又要用心记；紧扣话题，把握说话者的思路，捕捉信号词，连贯记忆主要信息。听完试题后，要前后联系，利用后面听到的信息补充前面漏听的或有疑问的信息，并对听前、听中的预测和判断加以推理、分析、修正，以使理解的准确性更高。最后提醒大家，在做听力考试试题时，要消除紧张情绪，集中注意力。听力考试对我们不仅仅是听的能力的考查，同时是对我们心理素质的测验。所以在做听力题前要放松自己的情绪，以愉快轻松的状态应对考试。只要我们加强训练，训练得法，掌握一些必要的应试技巧就能够在高考听力中取得高分。
三、短对话
考查方式：一共8个短对话，每个对话一个问题。2个长对话，共7个问题。每个对话念一遍，结束之后提出问题。
1．But 题型
形式：A:??
B:??，but ??.
重点听第二个说话人B说话，but 后面所说的话为重点，出题点往往在but后面。四级听力题中，But 后面的为重点的占95%,之前的为重点的占5%。
2. 场景题
（1） 每一类场景，常考出题思路——用于解题
（2） 线索词
场景题提问方式：
（1） what (过去，现在，将来)
（2） Where is the conversation taking place? / Where does the conversation take place?
（3） When is the conversation taking place?
（4） Who——>where (location) 问人是谁，可以从他所在的地方来判断。
各类场景（把各类场景容易出现的词给记住，选选项时往常考思路上靠）
3.重复反问题型
形式：A:??
B:??（形容词，重复A部分的话），??.
Q:??
直接把B所说的形容词加深程度的选项为正确选项。
3
滴水渐累成沧海，拳石频移成泰山 祝大家顺利过级 例1：A：It’s a little bit warm out today.
B: Warm. You could fry an egg on the sidewalk.
正确选项应是强调warm的。
例2：A: Mary sees happy with her grades.
B: Happy. She could hardly contain herself.她简直乐翻了。
正确选项应该是强调happy的。
4．态度方向题 Yes/ No?
A:讲述一个idea/opinion（一般疑问句）。
B:Yes/No,??(阐述理由)。
选项特点: 有两个两两相反的选项（另外提醒一下，在听力题四个选项中，如果有其中两个选项说的内容刚好是相反的，那么正确答案必定为其中一个）。
5．建议题
A:??trouble??(讲述一个trouble)
B1: Advice.
B2: Don’t worry. / Calm down. / Take it easy.
B: 先安慰，后给advice.
表示建议的表达方式
You should?./ shouldn’t?.
You ought to?.
Why not?/ why don’t??
If I were you, I would?.
How about doing?/ What about doing??
It’s (about/high) time that ?(用过去时)。
虚拟语气：
1）might have, could have, should have本应该
2）表与现在相反If I were you, I would ?=You should?.
语气词
1）表示糟糕的语气
It’s too bad. / It’s tough. / Oh, no. / What a pity. / Tough luck. / Uh-oh.小麻烦
2）表示惊讶的语气
Boy. / Oh, boy. / Oh, mine. / My God. / My Goodness. / WOW! 非常惊讶
3）表示赞美的语气
Wonderful. / Terrific. / My favorite. = My fav.我的最爱。 / Cool. / Super cool. 酷呆了。/Ultra cool.酷毙了。
4）表示肯定的语气
Yeah. = Yes. / You bet. / Uh-huh. / And? / I’ll say. / You said it. / You can say that again. / And how. / Isn’t it (though). / Aren’t they (though).
5）表示否定的语气
nope.(升调)=no./ But. / Are you kidding? / Are you joking? / Are you serious? / No kidding. / no joking. / Who told you that? / Says who. / Says you.

篇二：专家解析大学英语四级考试历年阅读真题
专家解析大学英语四级考试历年阅读真题
2007.12阅读第一篇
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year.
As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn?t win the contest again? That?s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.
A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, “Don?t you want to win again?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”
I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.
Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting (借用) my daughter?s experience.
While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough a way to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.

这篇文章讲述了一个作家母亲指导女儿写作的故事，通过作者的亲身经历向人们揭示出当今社会的子女教育问题。这种个人化风格较强的文章在以学术性、科技类、说明性文章为主要材料来源的四级阅读题中还是比较少见的;但文章的中心思想还是借作者的个人故事向人们揭示社会问题，具有较强的实用性。全文一共六个自然段，第一段交待了女儿忙于参加写作比赛的事实;第二段作者回顾了自身写作历程的艰辛，引出要为女儿修改作文的动机;第三、四、五段详细讲述了作者修改女儿作文的过程，作者最终的失败使其对子女教育问题有所领悟;最后一段，作者具体说明了父母应该如何帮助子女成长的观点。
这篇文章个人写作风格明显，语言平易，因而词汇量不大，句子结构也较简单，理解起来并不存在太大的问题，较少见到明显的疑难部分。

题目解析
题目问从第一段可以得知什么。第一段的大意如下：在这个网络聊天、视频游戏和电视真人秀的时代，供孩子们消遣的无聊活动当然也不会少。但我8岁的女儿丽贝卡却把空闲时间用来写短篇小说。她想要拿出一篇小说来参加一个写作大赛。在去年的上一届比赛中，她获得了优胜。
A，如今大量娱乐活动在为儿童竞争(即现在的儿童有充足的娱乐活动)。文章开篇的In this age of 词组与A中的nowadays在时间上相互呼应。there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied中的 shortage是“少”的意思，但no shortage of并不仅指有一些，而是“较为丰富”，如there is no shortage of tall buildings here，这里的高楼可不少。从这一句可以看出，供孩子们消遣娱乐的活动确实很多，可以由此推出A的结论。
B， 孩子们确实在许多无聊活动中得到了乐趣。作者只是指出供孩子选择的娱乐活动很多，但没有指明孩子们是否从中得到了乐趣。从mindless(没头脑的, 不用脑子的)一词可以看出，作者对这些活动至少是持有怀疑态度的。另外，从文中可知作者的女儿对这些活动没有兴趣，当然也谈不上乐趣，可以作为一个反例。
C，丽贝卡太忙而不能享受空余时间。文中只说丽贝卡把空闲时间用来写小
说，是不是真的太忙不能确定。另外写小说本身也许即是丽贝卡的享受空闲时间的方式，那样的话她也就是在完全地享受自己的空闲时间，C的叙述不对。D，丽贝卡从网络上汲取了很多写作材料。这句话和文意相去甚远，只要理解了第一段的意思，相信排除该选项不会太难。
58. What did the author say about her own writing experience?
A) She was constantly under pressure of writing more.
B) Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.
C) She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.
D) Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations.
题目问作者讲了自己的哪些写作经历。
作者介绍自己的写作经历是在文章的第二段前半部分。大意是：“作为一个作家，我享受过夺得竞赛优胜的喜悦，也品尝过失败的滋味。我知道辛辛苦苦写出来一个故事、结果却得到一张出版商的退稿信时的感受。我同样知道夺得优胜后再想保住这份荣誉的压力。”
A， 她经常处在要写作更多作品的压力之下。文中只说作者在卫冕比赛优胜时有压力，而不是写作新作品时，因此A的说法不对。
B， 她大部分小说都被出版商退稿了。文中说作者的稿件被退过，没有提到是否大部分都被退稿。从文章大体可以推断出作者是一个成功的作家，一个成功作家不可能大部分作品都被退稿。
C，作为作家，她对保住荣誉并不在意。从I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories一句可以看出，作者为保住荣誉承受过很大压力，C的说法与文意恰好相反。
D，她的成功之路充满痛苦和挫折。根据第二段前半部分的叙述可知，作者品尝过失败，体验过小说被退稿的感受，承受过保住荣誉的压力，恰好可以由D的说法来概括。
59. Why did Rebecca want to enter this year?s writing contest?
A) She had won a prize in the previous contest.
B) She wanted to share her stories with readers.
C) She was sure of winning with her mother?s help.
D) She believed she possessed real talent for writing.
题目问丽贝卡想要参加今年的写作比赛的原因。
A， 她在上一届比赛中获得了优胜。言下之意是她是为了卫冕而参加比赛，但文中的对话“Don?t you want to win again?” “No,”显示，丽贝卡对能否夺冠并不在意。因此A的说法站不住脚。
B， 她想和读者分享她的故事。文中有一句话——she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”意思是她想告诉人们一个上小学一年级的天使的故事，也即想与人们(至少是读到它的人)分享这个故事，这与B的说法是一致的。
C，她自信在妈妈的帮助下可以获得优胜。这一点与文意不符。首先，从对A的分析可知，她并不在意是否获得优胜;其次，从文中大体可知她早已决定参加比赛，妈妈的帮助应该是后来的事情，那么在决定参加比赛时她就不一定考虑过妈妈的帮助。
D，她相信自己具备真正的写作才能。文章没有任何一处地方提及类似内容，也就无从判断是否如此，因此不能选D。
60. The author took great pains to refine her daughter?s stories because ________.
A) she wanted to help Rebecca realize her dreams of becoming a writer
B) she was afraid Rebecca?s imagination might run wild while writing
C) she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so much
D) she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance题目问作者花费了很多心力去修改女儿的故事，原因是什么。
文章讲述作者帮助女儿修改文章是在第四段，开头便说：I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them，我用了几个星期帮她修改文章。之后则叙述了作者如何帮助女儿修改文章。四个选项的意思是：A，她想帮助丽贝卡实现当作家的梦想。
B，她担心丽贝卡写作时的想象力过于狂野。
C，她不想在丽贝卡如此渴望帮助时使她失望。
D，她相信自己的知识和经验可以提供指导。
某权威机构提供的答案是A，但存在两个疑点，第一，文中并未指明丽贝卡有当作家的梦想，从文中可知她写作的目的只是要分享她的故事而已，甚至连写作比赛的优胜都不在意。文中虽有guiding the young writer across the hall这句，似乎作者是想把女儿培养成作家，但这只是作者为了说明自己当时的心情而打的比方而已。第二，即便有这样的梦想，也不可能仅仅通过修改一篇作文就能实现。因此A并不正确。
B所说的想象力过于丰富和C所说的女儿非常需要作者的帮助，这些在文中都没有交代过，可以说是生造出来的，可以排除。
第四段第二句说作者自认为是一个有经验的作家，之后写到女儿的作品被作者按自己的经验、想法改造成了另外一个故事，进而把比赛当成了自己的比赛。由此可见，作者当初之所以要主动指导女儿，是自信自己的知识和经验可以对女儿提供帮助，只是结果不尽如人意。D的叙述是正确的。
61. What?s the author?s advice for parents?
A) Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions.
B) Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in.
C) Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience.
D) A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue.
题目问作者给了父母们哪些建议。给出建议是第四段的内容，这段的大意是：第一步，我不再干扰孩子，而后，给她空间的同时又能在需要时随时提供帮助。作者随时提醒自己，孩子需要尝试、成长以及表达自我的空间。
A， 孩子应被给予每一个表达自我的机会。原文说要给予孩子表达自我的空间，既然使用了“空间”一词，也就意味着不是所有的机会都可以交给孩子。而A暗含的意思是无论孩子想要表达什么，都不要有所限制，与文意并不相符。B， 父母应该密切关注孩子们参与的活动。文中作者给出的建议是给孩子留有空间，又不离得太远，使得在他们需要帮助时可以随时提供帮助。而B中的keep an eye是始终密切关注的意思，与文意不符。
C，孩子应被给予通过经历实现成长的自由。第四段里的children need room to experiment是这句话的最好注解。
D，写作这个职业虽然吸引人，但并不是所有的孩子都适合去追求。作者的建议是关于子女教育问题的，并没有评价写作作为职业是否适合所有孩子的问题。
Passage Two
I don?t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it?s like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don?t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn?t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don?t study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women?s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how may of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don?t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don?t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that?s a sight worth talking about.
62. Why doesn?t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?
A) She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.
B) She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination.
C) She is not good at telling stories of the kind.
D) She finds space research more important.(B)
63. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute the author?s failures to ________.
A) the very fact that she is a woman
B) her involvement in gender politics
C) her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist
D) the burden she bears in a male-dominated society(A)
64. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research?
A) Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.
B) Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.
C) People?s stereotyped attitude toward female scientists.
D) Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurtured.(C)

第三段: 得出结论
此文章写作时可以全面参照有道考神四级写作课程中“功能句”的讲解。
参考范文： Learning is a daily experience and a lifetimemission. This is a proverb full of logic. Inother words, learning is significant in our whole life. Indeed, wecan learn many things from it. If you understand it and apply it toyour study or work, you’ll necessarily benefit a lot from it.
There are many reasons which can explain this phenomenon and thefollowing are the typical ones. The first reason is that learningcan light our road in the coming future. There is no denying thefact that the society is developing increasingly fast and we areoften easily surpassed by the people around. The only way to avoidthis is to learn to improve ourselves. As an illustration, I’d liketo take myself as an example. After graduation from college, mylife has been full of working pressure, which contributes to mydecision of pursuing further education. That’s why I can make myown way in such a competitive society.
The effect of learning can be boiled down to two major ones. First,with the spirit of learning, we are more capable of overcoming thedifficulties in the future. More importantly, we can eich ourspare time life by learning. No matter who you are, you mustremember that learning is the basic skill in our life.

选词填空：
36. N. saw 第一空显然缺少谓语，优先考虑动词，结合语义并根据Late November and December可以推出应选择过去式动词，故答案锁定saw.
37. F. decades 根据two，首选复数名词，结合语义，“ for the first time in the two decades”, 二十年来头一次。
38. H. globally 句子为主系表结构，不缺主要成分，所以首选副词和形容词，根据语
义，ever表示“一直以来地、向来地”，“十一月向来是全球范围内最温暖的一个月。”
39. D. chances 缺少主语，并且谓语是are，所以首选复数形式的名词，结合前文Enjoy the snow now, “享受现在的雪吧”，因为“时机是好的”。
40. J. occurs 空格前方有主语，且是单数形式，而后面由when引导的时间状语从句的时态是一般现在时，所以主句谓语锁定第三人称单数形式的动词，只能选择occurs.
41. A. specific空格左为定冠词the，
42. B. associated 空格左为be动词，右边为介词with，中间只能是形容词或动词的过去分词形式，be associated with表示“与?有联系”，符合原意。
43. G. experiences 空格左为主语southern Africa，空格内应该为动词的第三人称单词形式，结合语义，选G，“南非经历着干燥的天气。
44. M. reduce 空格左为情态动词，空格内必须为动词原形，填reduce“减少”符合原题。
45. K. populations 空格与左边的large fish 共同构成动词support的宾语，只能选一个名词来作为名词词组，故选K，“大量的鱼群”。
段落匹配：
46. I，根据关键信息“figures of speech”定位到I段，原文中该词组前面的形容词是“irrelevant”，和句中的“improper”为同义替换关系。
47. C，根据关键信息“flaws”可定位至C段，同义替换关系句“my mother and her red pen showed me how deeply flawed a flawlessessay could be.”
48. K，该句意思为“为了达到完美，作家应该反复地修改他的文章”，对应K段中的“Perhaps the point of writing theflawless essay was not to give up, but to never willingly finish.”
49. E，该句大意为“某些时间段里，作家可能会感觉什么都写不出来了”，对应E段中的“I was not able to produceanything for 3 years.”。
50. B， 该句意为“当老师认为作者的文章没有瑕疵时，他并不惊讶”，对应B段的“so I was only slightly takenaback that I had achieved perfection at the tender age of
14.”该句中的“taken aback”意为“惊讶”。
51. F，该句意为“对别人的演讲品头论足总比自己做一个更棒的演讲容易”，对应F段的“It is a thing of no greatdifficulty,” according to Plutarch, “to raise objections against another man’sspeech, it is a very easy matter; but to produce a better in its place is awork extremely troublesome.”。
52. A，该句意为“作者视其母为最严格和最细心的老师”，对应A段的“She cared about me, and my intellectual life, even when I didn’t.Her expectations were high impossibly so. She was an English teacher. She wasalso my mother.”。
53. H，该句意为“作者从其母处得到的批评改变了作者的人格”，对应H段的“That was
when true criticism, thetype that changed me as a person, began.”。
54. J，该句意为“作者通过避免使用华而不实的语言慢慢地提升自己的作品”，对应J段的“So I stopped shouting and bluffing,and slowly my writing improved.”。
55. G，该局意为“有建设性的评判能让作家在提升作品方面有一个好的开始”，对应G段“Genuine criticism creates a precious opening for an author to becomebetter on this own terms—a process that is often extremely painful, but alsoalmost always meaningful.
”。
仔细阅读：
56. A
此题难度不大，根据题干中的“Silicon Valley”可定位第一段，第一段尾句“is there something unique about it?”直接把答案引向第二段。精读第二段“it wouldn’t be surprising if it were hard to reproduce in othercountries”，可知该句与A选项“Its success is hard to copy anywhere else.”为同义替换关系，故选A，其他三项均为无中生有。
57. B
此题难度不大，根据题干中“Miami”可定位至原文第五段，该段表明迈阿密只有有钱人，而缺少“痴迷于技术的人”，所以无法成为科技中心，该含义对应B选项，为统一替换关系，选项中的“the right kind oftalents”替换了原文的“nerds”。
58. A
此题难度不高，根据题干中的“Carnegie-Mellon”和“Stanford”，“Berkeley”，“MIT”容易定位到原文第六段，第六段段位抛出问题，所以顺势往第七段找答案。第七段中详细描述了卡内基梅隆大学所在的匹兹堡的不同之处：“The weather is terrible”，“rich people don’t want to live in Pittsburgh or Ithaca”，这些信息都指向了A选项，为高度概括关系。
59. D
该题难度较高，根据题干中的“Boston”可定位至原文的第七段。原文提到Boston的句子为“as there is in Boston”，as在这里表对比，意为“波士顿却有”，那么前文一定指出了匹兹堡没有某物，所以关键句在于具体是什么，故往前文查找，发现前文提到的是“and there’s no interesting old city to make up for it”，意思是匹兹堡不仅天气恶劣，而且也没有有趣的老城区，但是波士顿却与之相反，固选择D，表示“波士顿有着很多历史古迹”。
60. C
本题难度不高，根据核心名词概念“startup investors”可定位到原文最后一段，原文清晰地表述了，startup investors不仅能够提供资金帮助，还能提供很多建议，所以C选项“他们不仅能提供资金”是最好的答案，和原文关系为高度概括。
61. C
该题难度不大，根据“like-minded people”定位到首段，首段指出这类人可以给人信息并令人感到舒服，后面用“unfortunately”表转折，后面的表述“这种舒服会让你意识不到你可以扩大你的公司和事业”，对应C选项，同义替换。
62. B
本题不难。根据核心名词“leaders”定位到第三段，作者给leader的建议是“虽然建立一个自由言论的环境不容易，但是俗话说灵感从争论中迸发”，意思是领导者需要建立这样能的环境，固选择B项，高度概括。
63. A
本题难度不大。根据关键信息“purpose of holding adebate”定位到原文倒数第三段，原文“objective”对应“purpose”，后面跟的即为答案：“isnot to win but to get the truth that will allow you to move faster, farther,and better.”，对应A选项。
64. D
该题难度较大。根据关键信息“fierce debate”定位到原文倒数第二段，原文给出观点“用微笑和幽默表明这是一个友好的讨论，大家的目标都是一样的”，对应D选项，该题强干扰项为B，B选项中的“respect”容易让同学们产生好感从而错选B，而实际上B选项错在“other’s beliefs”上，原文并没有提到尊重他人的信念和观点，属于无中生有。
65. D
根据题干“rival”对应到最后一段的“sparring partners”，原文给出“让他们知道对他们的付出你很感激”，对应D选项“肯定他们的付出”，为同义替换关系。翻译
