英語(yǔ)四級(jí)的閱讀是考試的一個(gè)難點(diǎn)之一，我們需要多做練習(xí)。下面是小編分享的英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀鞏固練習(xí)題，一起來(lái)看一下吧。
英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀鞏固練習(xí)題篇一：
Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.
Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.
People who take part in hunting think of as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.
It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal (殘酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (沖突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻攔者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.
Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament toapprove a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.

英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀鞏固練習(xí)題篇二：
The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the paininevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment(承擔(dān)的義務(wù)), self improvement.
Ask a bachelor(單身漢) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying.If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quitepainful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or three-day vacation. I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase ourhappiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increaseour happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who arealways having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

參考答案
1.[A] 第3段第2句解釋了單身漢為什么不愿結(jié)婚的原因，A項(xiàng)的reluctant to take on family responsibilities是對(duì)原文中afraid of making a commitment的同義替換,故選A。本題中D項(xiàng)的干擾性比較強(qiáng)，但這不是單身漢不愿結(jié)婚的直接原因，且文中也說(shuō)到Marriage has such moments,所以put an end的說(shuō)法也不正確，故排除。
2.[C] 原文第4段中說(shuō)，雖然養(yǎng)孩子的過(guò)程實(shí)在不能算是“有趣”,但決定不要孩子的夫婦們永遠(yuǎn)也不能了解看著孩子長(zhǎng)大的那種歡樂(lè)以及與孫兒一起玩耍的歡樂(lè)。換言之，在作者看來(lái)，養(yǎng)孩子雖辛苦，但也是值得的，故答案為C。
3.[B] 文章最后一段最后一句說(shuō)它還讓我們從嫉妒中解脫出來(lái)：我們現(xiàn)在了解到那些總有很多樂(lè)趣的人也許根本就不幸福。這說(shuō)明我們嫉妒別人是誤以為那些總有很多樂(lè)趣的人很幸福，這是一種誤解，故選B。
4.[D] 由文章第1段和最后一段第1句可看出要理解真正的幸福就要把fun和happiness區(qū)分開(kāi)，故選D。
5.[A] 本題是主旨題。主旨題的答案常位于首段或結(jié)尾段。本題的答案可以在文章第1段最后一句找到：通往幸福的路上多半會(huì)涉及到痛苦，因此本題選A。D中雖也提到pain,但對(duì)分強(qiáng)調(diào)pain對(duì)幸福的作用，故錯(cuò)誤。
