Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle’s husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.
Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a good-bye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them.
Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home—the highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.
To those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.
Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. “It’s typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people’s pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty.”
62.When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle_________.
[A]could not forgive him for taking the children
[B]had been expecting it to happen for some time
[C]could not understand why
[D]blamed herself for what had happened
63. Most people who leave their families behind them___________.
[A]do so without warning [B]do so because of their debts
[C]come back immediately [D]change their names
64. Some people would even prefer the death to the running away of their spouse because __.
[A]their spouse would feel no pain during the death
[B]their spouse’s death would not blow their pride and confidence
[C]a desertion would not bring a feeling of rejection or failure
[D]their spouse’s death would make them feel less painful
65.The man or woman left behind with an unfinished marriage usually______________.
[A]admits responsibility for the situation
[B]wishes the person who has left were dead
[C]comes back within a year
[D]will have no legal marriage life for seven years
66. Paul Brown regards leaving home in such circumstances as___________________.
[A]an act of despair [B]an act of selfishness
[C]the result of a sudden decision [D]the result of the enormous sense of guilt

Section B
Passage One
57.【解析】[C]推断题。本文讨论了友谊的重要性。不论是青少年还是老年人，都需要朋友的陪伴。没有人是孤立的，每个人都是社会的一部分，都需要他人的爱、陪伴和关心。文章第二段表明人都需要陪伴和归属感。文章第二段提到没有朋友的青少年和丧偶的老年人常常会有心理问题，并提到陪伴和归属感是他们共同的需求，所以C为正确答案。答案A和B都过于武断，作者只是说一般而言，并没有说一定会，所以不对。
58.【解析】[C]细节题。“No man is an island” (Line 1, Para. 3) 的意思是，每个人都是社会的一部分。第三段第二句话解释了这句引言的意思， “In other words, we are all parts of society”，所以C为正确答案。
59.【解析】[C]细节推理题。友谊的亲密程度主要取决于人的个性。见第四段第二句，“The degree of intimacy of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals ...”，所以C为正确答案。
60.【解析】[D]细节推理题。作者认为多数人的亲密朋友并不多。见第五段第三句，“Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare”在人生的任何阶段都可以交到亲密的朋友，但数量通常很少，由此推断D为正确答案。
61.【解析】[C]词汇题。“irrespective”(第五段最后一句)这个词语的意思是“不论，不考虑”。见最后一句，“Irrespective of the level of intimacy, all friendships are based on ...”不论亲密的程度如何，任何友谊都是建立在互惠、诚实和一定的友爱和关怀的基础之上的。根据上下文，可推测出这个词语的意思是“不论，不考虑”。所以C为正确答案。
Passage Two
62.【解析】[C]细节题。问题问“当她的丈夫离家出走时，Eileen Doyle怎么样?”根据第一段第二行“Eileen was astonished...”可以断定C“(她)不明白为什么”应该是正确答案。其余三项均不符合文章意思。
63.【解析】[A]细节题。问题问“离开家庭的大多数人”。该题较简单，解题依据应该是文章第二段，其大意为:一年中的每一天都有一小帮男人和女人悄然收拾几件行李，没有留下任何纸条或说一声再见(“...without so much as a note or goodbye...”，其中without so much as为重要句型，表示“甚至……都没有”)，最后一次关上前门离家出走了，把他们的债务、他们的忧虑，还有迷惑不解的家庭抛在身后。A项正确。
64.【解析】[D]细节题。文章第四段第二、三句说明那些被遗弃的人甚至宁愿自己的配偶已经死亡，至少死亡不会意味着自己被抛弃或失败，所以要比被遗弃的感觉好点。B、C两项属于四级考试中典型的陷阱式干扰项，因为B项中的“pride and confidence”及C项中的“rejection or failure”在原文中皆有出现，马虎的考生可能不假思索就选了B或C，正好中了圈套，其实稍微细心一点就会发现B、C和文章所说的并不是一回事。第四段第三句“At least it...”中的it是指death而不是题干中主语所指。
65.【解析】[D]推断题。问题的题干应该在第四段最后一句，所以答案在此“...Worse than that,... an unfinished marriage,...wait seven years before...”，D项正是这种意思。
66.【解析】[B]细节题。依据第五段第二行“It’s typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people’s pain and difficulties.” B项说“这是一种自私行为”，为正确答案。A “这是种绝望行为”;C “这是突然决定的结果”;D “这是沉重负疚感的结果”。
