2017年6月英语四级阅读理解100篇精析汇总
It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a
trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross campaign for a total ban on all
anti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens
around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in
explosions caused by landmines. "I knew the statistics," she said. "But putting
a face to those figures broughtthe reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a
13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her."
The Princess concluded with a simple message: "We must stop landmines". And
she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.
But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the
British government, which refused tosupport a ban on these weapons. Angry
politicians launched an attack On the Princess in the press. They described her
as "very ill-informed" and a "loose cannon (乱放炮的人)
The Princess responded by brushing aside the Criticisms: "This is a
distraction (干扰) we do not need. AllI’m trying to do is help."
Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their
Support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon
emerged that the Princess trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that
she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the
British governments policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe
embarrassment for the government.
To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkidnd,
claimed that the Princess views on landmines were not very different from
government policy, and that it was "working towards" a worldwide ban.The Defence
Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was "a misinterpretation or
misunderstanding." -
For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent
opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and
suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her
the chance to get closer to people and their problems.

参考答案
1.
根据题干中的时间、人名可以马上找到信息源为文章第1句,其中的不定式正好与选项的形式一致,表示目的,只要将选项内容与原文第1句中的不定式结构内容相对照即可得出答案为A。
2. 此题考查语义及逻辑推理能力,关键在于理解brought the reality home to sb. (使某人了解到现实)及I knew
the statistics,
but...的隐含义“我知道统计数字,但是(没想到会这么严重)”。再结合上文可知D的表述正确。C错在黛安娜不是亲身看到那些受害者之后才相信该统计数字的。
3. 第3段第1句指出,回到伦敦,她的观点并没有得到英国政府的一些官员的认可。黛安娜是支持banning
landmines(禁止地雷)的,故英国政府的一些官员是反对禁止地雷,因此答案选B。而从第5段第2句“……黛安娜王妃出访已获英国外交部批准,而且事实上她对安哥拉的形势和英国政府有关地雷的政策都很了解。’’可知A、C、D的说法均不正确。
4. 此题关键在于理解第4段第1句中brush aside“无视,不顾,漠视”这个短语,A的paid no attention与brush
aside同义,故选A。
5. 根据文章最后一句,黛安娜总结其出访安哥拉的意义,B中的brought her closer to the ordinary
people是原文get closer to people and their problems的同义改写。
