2025年6月大学英语四级考试真题(第二套)Part III Reading Comprehension 的 Section B 和 Section C

一、Section B 原文与汉语译文

Is juicing actually good for you?

A) Freshly juiced fruit has become a basic dietary item – especially for busy, health-conscious consumers who can save time on making (and perhaps even chewing) their food without missing out on nutrients. Fruit juice also has been linked to claims that it can help you both lose weight and stay healthy. All of which, of course, has made it highly profitable. The global fruit and vegetable juices market was valued at $154 billion in 2016 and is expected to grow.
B) But is juicing really as healthy as we think? Most foods containing fructose—a naturally occurring sugar found in all fruits and fruit juices—don’t seem to have harmful effects as long as they’re not contributing to excess daily calories. This is because the fibre found in whole fruits is intact, and the sugar is contained within the fruit’s cells. It takes our digestive system a while to break these cells down and for fructose to enter the bloodstream.
C) But this is not the case with fruit juice. Unlike whole fruit, fruit juice has most of the fibre removed. This is why the fructose in fruit juices counts as ‘free sugars’—which also include honey and the sugars added to foods. It’s recommended by the World Health Organisation that adults have no more than 30g of added sugar, the equivalent of 150ml of fruit juice, per day. The problem is that, with the fibre removed, fruit juice’s fructose is absorbed more quickly. Sudden increases in blood sugar cause the release of insulin to bring it back down to a stable level. Over time, this mechanism can wear out increasing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. In 2013, researchers analysed the health data of 100,000 people collected between 1986 and 2009 and found that fruit juice consumption was linked with increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Another study found a relationship between fruit juice and type 2 diabetes after following the diets and diabetes status of more than 70,000 nurses over 18 years. The researchers explain that the possible reason for this may partly have been the lack of the other components found in whole fruit, like fibre.
D) Juices containing vegetables can provide more nutrients and less sugar than juices made up of just fruit — but they still lack valuable fibre. Diets high in fibre have been linked to a lower risk of developing heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and diabetes, and it’s recommended adults consume 30g per day.
E) Aside from the link to type 2 diabetes, many studies agree that fruit juice is harmful if it contributes to an excess in calories. In an analysis of 155 studies, John Sievenpiper, associate professor at the University of Toronto’s Department of Nutritional Sciences, set out to understand if the associations between sugary soft drinks and health — including risk of diabetes and heart disease — were applicable to the food and drink we generally consume as part of a healthy diet. He compared studies looking into the effects of fructose-containing sugars with control diets free from or lower in these sugars. His aim? To isolate the effects of consuming too many calories from the effects of foods containing different sugars.
F) He found negative effects on blood sugar and insulin levels when food provided excess calories from sugars, including fruit juice. However, when the calories weren’t in excess overall, there were some advantages to consuming whole fruit — and even fruit juice. Sievenpiper concludes that the recommended 150ml of fruit juice per day, which is an average serving, is reasonable. The paper concluded that foods containing fructose may have some small benefits for long-term blood sugar control when they don’t lead to over-consumption of calories. But when they do lead to too many calories, they risk raising blood sugar and insulin levels.
G) So while we know that fruit juice can cause diabetes if it’s part of a diet that has more calories overall, it’s less clear how juice affects the long-term health of those who aren’t overweight. But we have a higher risk of consuming more than the recommended daily number of calories (around 2,000 for women and 2,500 for men) on the days we drink juice, according to research. Numerous studies have shown that drinking fruit juice doesn’t make us consume any less of other foods throughout the day.
H) As it is easy to consume large amounts of fruit juice quite quickly, extra calories are taken in. And extra calories can contribute to weight gain. One way we can improve the effects of fruit juice on our health is making sure we select ripe fruit to retain as much of its goodness as possible, according to Roger Clemens, professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Southern California.
I) Another reason for fruit juice’s recent popularity is the argument that it can help to remove poisonous or harmful substances from the body. However, “the whole concept of a juice diet helping to remove poisonous or harmful substances from the body is completely false,” says Clemens. “We consume compounds every day that may be poisonous and our bodies do a wonderful job of removing and eliminating anything harmful from our bodies.”
J) And juice isn’t a cure-all for getting your nutrients, either. “There are a lot of nutrients contained in the parts of the fruits, such as in apple skins, that are excluded when you juice them,” says Heather Ferris, a professor of medicine. “You end up with sugary water with some vitamins.”
K) Plus, she adds, it’s not an ideal way to reach the advised ‘five a day’. “People try to get five servings of fruit and vegetables per day and don’t realise this isn’t just about getting vitamins,” she says. “It’s also about reducing the amount of grain carbs and protein and fats in our diet, and increasing fibre.” So while fruit juice is better than no fruit at all, there are limits. It particularly comes with risks when we consume more than 150ml of free sugars per day, or when it puts us over our recommended calorie intake. It provides us with vitamins — but fruit juice is far from a quick fix.

汉语译文

榨汁真的对你有益吗?

A) 鲜榨果汁已经成为一种基本的饮食项目——对于那些忙碌且注重健康的消费者来说尤其如此,他们既能节省制作(甚至咀嚼)食物的时间,还不会错过营养摄入。果汁还与一些助力减肥和保持健康的说法相关联。当然,所有这一切使其利润十分可观。2016年,全球果蔬汁市场价值为1540亿美元,这一数字预计还将增长。
B) 但是榨汁真的像我们认为的那样健康吗?大多数含有果糖的食物——果糖是一种天然存在于所有水果和果汁中的糖——似乎不会产生有害的影响,只要它们没有导致每日热量过剩。这是因为整个水果中的纤维是完整的,糖分被包含在水果的细胞中。我们的消化系统需要一些时间来分解这些细胞,然后果糖才会进入血液中。
C) 但是如果是果汁的话,情况就不是这样的了。与整个水果不同,果汁中的大部分纤维已被去除。这就是为什么果汁中的果糖属于“游离糖”——这类糖还包括蜂蜜和食品添加剂。世界卫生组织建议,成年人每天摄入的添加糖不应超过30克,相当于150毫升果汁。问题是,纤维被去除后,果汁中的果糖会被更快地吸收。血糖突然上升会导致胰岛素的释放,以将其恢复到稳定水平。随着时间的推移,这种机制可能会损耗,增加患2型糖尿病的风险。2013年,研究人员分析了1986年至2009年间收集的10万人的健康数据,发现果汁摄入与2型糖尿病风险的增加有关。另一项研究在18年内追踪了超过7万名护士的饮食和糖尿病状况后,发现果汁与2型糖尿病之间有关联。研究人员解释称,部分原因可能是整个水果中的其他成分缺失了,比如纤维。
D) 相比纯果汁,果蔬汁富含更多的营养,且含糖量更低——但它们仍然缺乏宝贵的纤维。高纤维饮食与降低患心脏病、中风、高血压和糖尿病的风险存在关联,建议成年人每天摄入30克。
E) 除了与2型糖尿病的关联外,许多研究一致认为,如果果汁导致热量过剩,它就是有害的。在对155项研究的分析中,多伦多大学营养科学系的副教授约翰·西文皮珀旨在弄清楚含糖软饮料与健康(包括糖尿病和心脏病风险)之间的关联,是否适用于我们通常将其作为健康饮食的一部分而摄入的那种食物和饮料。他将有关果糖类糖分摄入影响的研究与不含此类糖分或此类糖分含量较低的对照饮食的研究进行了对比。他的目标是什么呢?是为了将摄入过多热量所带来的影响与含有不同糖分的食物所带来的影响区分开来。
F) 他发现,当食物(包括果汁)中提供的热量过多来自糖分时,会对血糖和胰岛素水平产生负面影响。然而,如果总热量摄入不超标,食用整个水果,甚至是果汁,还是有一些益处的。西文皮珀得出结论:每天推荐的150毫升果汁(这是平均一份的量)是合理的。该论文得出结论:含有果糖的食物在不导致热量摄入过度的情况下,对长期血糖控制可能有一些小的益处。但是当它们确实导致热量摄入过多时,就有升高血糖和胰岛素水平的风险。
G) 因此,尽管我们知道,如果果汁是总体热量超标的饮食的一部分,它会导致糖尿病,但对于体重正常的人来说,果汁对其长期健康的影响还不太明确。但研究显示,在我们喝果汁的时间段内,我们摄入的热量更有可能会超过每日推荐的摄入量(女性约为2000卡路里,男性约为2500卡路里)。大量的研究已经表明,喝果汁不会减少全天其他食物的摄入量。
H) 由于很容易快速喝下大量果汁,人们会摄入额外的热量。而额外的热量可能导致体重增加。南加州大学药物科学教授罗杰·克莱门斯表示,一种办法是,我们可以通过确保选择成熟的水果来榨汁,以保留尽可能多的营养价值,从而改善果汁对健康的影响。
I) 果汁近来受欢迎的另一个原因是它能帮助清除体内有毒或有害物质的说法。然而,“果汁饮食有助于清除体内有毒或有害物质的整个概念完全是错误的,”克莱门斯说。“我们每天都会摄入可能有毒的化合物,而我们的身体在清除体内任何有害物质方面做得非常好。”
J) 果汁也不是获取营养的万能药。“水果的某些部分,如苹果皮中,含有很多营养物质,而这些部分在榨汁时会被过滤掉,”医学教授希瑟·费里斯说。“你最终得到的是含有一些维生素的糖水。”
K) 而且,她补充说,这不是实现建议的“每日五份”的理想方法。“人们试图每天摄入五份水果和蔬菜,却没有意识到这不仅仅是为了获取维生素,”她说。“这也是为了减少我们饮食中的碳水化合物、蛋白质和脂肪的摄入量,并增加纤维的摄入。”所以,尽管喝果汁比完全不吃水果要好,但喝果汁也是需要限量的。当我们每天摄入超过150毫升的游离糖,或者摄入的热量超过推荐的热量摄入时,它尤其会带来风险。果汁能为我们提供维生素,但它绝非一种立竿见影的速效方案。

Section B 答题策略

Section B 是四级阅读中典型的段落信息匹配题,通常文章后有10个陈述句,要求判断信息来自哪一段。它不按顺序出题,难度在于“同义替换”和“定位”。
先读题干,划关键词
不要先通读全文。先看36—45题,每句划出:
人名、机构名、时间、数字
动词短语
形容词最高级
因果关系、转折关系
特殊名词,如 fruit juice、fibre、fructose、calories、type 2 diabetes 等
例如:
36题关键词:fruit juice / whole fruit / less fibre
37题关键词:juice diet / harmful or poisonous substances
39题关键词:health benefits / profitable
41题关键词:fibre / heart disease / diabetes
带着关键词扫读段落
不要逐词翻译。重点看每段:
首句
末句
转折词 however / but / yet
引号内容
数字、专有名词
比较级、最高级
识别同义替换
这是匹配题核心。例如:
much less fibre = most of the fibre removed
rid our body of harmful or poisonous substances = remove poisonous or harmful substances from the body
surplus calories = excess in calories
rendered the industry very profitable = has made it highly profitable
choose ripe fruit = select ripe fruit
reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes = a lower risk of developing heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and diabetes
consumed in reasonable amounts = when they don’t lead to over-consumption of calories
wastes a lot of nutrients = a lot of nutrients... are excluded
takes some time for fruit’s cells to be digested = takes our digestive system a while to break these cells down
does not reduce our daily consumption of other foods = doesn’t make us consume any less of other foods throughout the day
注意“一段可多用”
题干说明“You may choose a paragraph more than once”,所以不要因为某段用过就排除。但本套题中多数段落只对应一题。
先易后难
先做带明显专有名词、数字、引号的题,如:
37题 juice diet → I段
39题 profitable → A段
41题 fibre / heart disease → D段
43题 nutrients / juicing → J段
再做抽象概括题,如:
38题 many studies agree → E段
45题 Numerous studies → G段
控制时间
建议 Section B 用时 10—12分钟。不要在某一段纠结太久。若两个选项都像,优先选有明确同义替换的。
常见干扰
题干中的词在多个段落出现,但逻辑不符。
段落提到同一主题,但并非题干所问的具体信息。
张冠李戴:如把“果汁导致热量过剩”说成“果汁导致糖尿病”。
范围扩大或缩小:如“some studies”变成“all studies”。

二、Section C 原文与汉语译文

Section C 包括两篇 Passage。

Passage One

We all take a little extra effort to look nice for special occasions. But most of us have conflicting feelings about dressing up and feel guilty about taking the time to focus on clothes. Science now suggests the right dress may give ourselves the extra edge in our professional and personal lives.
We hear sayings like “dress for the job you want, not the job you have”. Most people don’t really believe in them, but research into the impact of clothes on behavior now suggests that there may actually be a grain of truth in these sayings. Science says that the clothes we wear affect our behavior, our mood and even the way we interact with others because of the symbolic meaning that we assign to different types of clothing.
We consider some clothes to be powerful some to be fun, and so on. We even evaluate people whom we have just met based on their clothes. We also evaluate ourselves based on what we are wearing because of the way they make us feel. This means that the experience of wearing something affects our attitudes and our choice of behavior.
There’s a reason tailored jackets are associated with being “dressed for success”. It seems that wearing formal office wear puts us in the right frame of mind to conduct business. Wearing power clothing makes us feel more confident and even increases hormones needed for displaying dominance. This in turn helps us become better negotiators and abstract thinkers.
While a good suit works wonders for our performance in the boardroom, wearing formal wear isn’t a great idea when we want to socialize. Studies have found that people tend to be less open and less able to relax when they wear formal clothes.
On the other hand, a casual dress helps us become more friendly and creative. These findings support the idea of wearing business casuals on a Friday, since colleagues are most likely to take out time to socialize on the last work day of the week. I mean, who wants to hang out with people in their suits?

汉语译文

我们都会在特殊场合多花一点心思打扮自己。但是,我们中的大多数人都会对穿衣打扮有着矛盾的情感,并对花时间关注衣着感到愧疚。现在的科学表明,合适的着装可能会给我们的职业和个人生活提供额外的优势。
我们听过诸如此类说法:“为你想要的工作着装,而不是为你现有的工作着装”。大多数人并不真正相信这些话,但有关服装对行为的影响的研究表明,这些说法或许确有几分道理。科学表明,我们的着装会影响我们的行为、情绪,甚至与他人交往的方式,因为我们赋予了不同类型的服装象征性的意义。
我们认为有些衣服是有力量的,有些衣服是有趣的,等等。我们甚至会根据服装来评价初次见面的人。我们也会根据自己的穿着来评价自己,因为它们会影响我们的感觉。这意味着穿某件衣服的体验会影响我们的态度和行为选择。
定制夹克与“为成功着装”联系在一起是有原因的。穿着正式的职业装似乎能让我们以正确心态开展业务。穿上力量型服装会让我们感觉更自信,甚至会增加展现支配力所需的荷尔蒙。这反过来又帮助我们成为更好的谈判者和抽象思维者。
虽然一套好西装能让我们在会议室里表现出色,但当我们想要社交时,穿正装并不是一个好主意。研究发现,人们穿正装时往往没那么放得开,更难放松。
另一方面,休闲装能让我们变得更友好、更具创造力。这些发现支持在周五穿商务便装的想法——因为同事们最有可能在一周的最后一个工作日抽出时间来社交。我的意思是,谁会愿意和穿着西装的人一起出去玩呢?

Passage One 答题策略

文章主题:着装对行为、情绪和社交的影响

Passage Two

With the rise of pop music, jazz, and electronic music, both opera and classical music started to fade away from the public eye. Some people are beginning to wonder whether opera and classical music are still relevant to the modern world of music. Granted, you will not typically see today’s teenagers lending their ears to Bach anytime soon, but there are some major indicators that both opera and classical music are now still quite alive.
The most major indicator of classical music’s importance in society today is the fact that much of the popular music that is currently being produced uses similar beats, harmonies, and melodies as those that were used in some of classical music’s best works. Even so, it can be difficult for those who do not study music theory to see this as an indicator, since it is subtle and just shows the impact symphonic orchestras have had on society’s taste in music.
A better example for the relevance of opera and classical music can be seen in the invention of the rock opera. Opera, in its simplest definition, is telling a story using music as its form. The art of telling a story using music has not faded in the least bit. In fact, sometimes actual orchestras are used for major parts of the opera itself. Some of the world’s greatest hits have been parts of rock operas.
Fans of classical music can also tell you that there are few types of music that are more expressive. So, it should come as no surprise to anyone that classical music pieces are still used as background music in modern movies. Symphonic orchestra compositions have also been created solely for the purpose of being included in major motion pictures. These are often very well received amongst mainstream music fans.
Classical music and opera are the very foundation of what our modern music is based upon. Considering the huge impact they have had on our current society, it is without doubt that we can expect them to continue to remain important for centuries to come.

汉语译文

随着流行音乐、爵士乐和电子音乐的兴起,歌剧和古典音乐都开始淡出公众的视野。有些人开始怀疑,歌剧和古典音乐是否仍与现代音乐世界息息相关。当然,你通常不会看到今天的青少年很快就去聆听巴赫的作品,但有一些重大的迹象表明,歌剧和古典音乐至今仍然充满活力。
古典音乐在当今社会中仍具重要性的最主要标志是,目前制作的许多流行音乐都使用了与古典音乐中一些最佳作品相似的节拍、和声和旋律。即便如此,不学习音乐理论的人可能很难将此视为一个标志,因为它很微妙,只是体现了交响乐团对社会音乐品味的影响。
关于歌剧和古典音乐重要性的一个更好的例子是摇滚歌剧的发明。从最简单的定义看,歌剧就是以音乐为形式讲述故事。用音乐讲故事的艺术丝毫没有衰退。事实上,有时歌剧本身的主要部分会使用真正的管弦乐队。一些世界上最伟大的热门歌曲就出自摇滚歌剧。
古典音乐爱好者也可以告诉你,几乎没有比古典音乐更具表现力的音乐类型了。因此,古典音乐作品仍被用作现代电影的背景音乐也就不足为奇了。交响乐团的作品也是专门为在大型电影中出现而创作的。这些作品往往深受主流音乐爱好者的欢迎。
古典音乐和歌剧正是现代音乐的基础。考虑到它们对当今社会产生的巨大影响,毫无疑问,我们可以期待它们在未来几个世纪中继续保持重要地位。
