2026年大学英语四级考试阅读理解真题及答案考试时间:______分钟总分:______分姓名:______阅读理解Directions:Read the following passages and answer the questions by choosing the correct option(s)for each question.Mark your answers on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1 The rise of artificial intelligence(AI)has brought both immense opportunities and significant challenges to the global workforce.While AI technologies promise to automate routine tasks,enhance productivity,and create new industries,they also raise concerns about job displacement and the widening skills gap.Governments,businesses,and educational institutions are grappling with how to prepare the workforce for the future of work in an AI-driven economy.One of the key challenges is the potential displacement of workers in certain sectors,particularly those involving repetitive or predictable tasks.Studies have shown that jobs in manufacturing,data entry,and even some areas of customer service are at higher risk of automation.This could lead to significant unemployment and economic disruption if proper safeguards are not put in place.However,AI also creates new job opportunities,such as AI developers,data scientists,and AI ethicists,requiring a different set of skills.To mitigate the negative impacts of AI and maximize its benefits,proactive measures are needed.Education systems must be reformed to focus more on skills that are difficult for AI to replicate,such as critical thinking,creativity,emotional intelligence,and complex problem-solving.Lifelong learning programs should be encouraged and supported,allowing workers to continuously update their skills throughout their careers.Additionally,governments may need to consider policies like retraining initiatives,universal basic income,or enhanced social safety nets to support those who may lose their jobs due to automation.Questions:1.What is the main topic of the passage?(A)The economic benefits of AI technology.(B)The potential risks of AI to the workforce.(C)The challenges and opportunities presented by AI in the global workforce.(D)The role of governments in regulating AI development.2.According to the passage,which jobs are most likely to be affected by AI?(A)Jobs requiring emotional intelligence.(B)Jobs involving repetitive tasks.(C)Jobs in creative industries.(D)Jobs requiring high levels of physical labor.3.What solutions does the passage suggest to prepare the workforce for the future of work with AI?(A)Increasing the number of jobs in manufacturing.(B)Encouraging lifelong learning and skill development.(C)Providing universal basic income to all workers.(D)Restricting the development of AI technologies.4.What is the author’s attitude towards the impact of AI on the workforce?(A)Entirely positive,seeing only opportunities.(B)Entirely negative,viewing it as a threat.(C)Neutral,acknowledging both benefits and challenges.(D)Cautious,emphasizing the need for careful management.5.Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?(A)AI will replace all human jobs in the future.(B)Education systems do not need to change in the age of AI.(C)Workers need to continuously update their skills to remain competitive.(D)Governments should avoid any intervention in the AI industry.Passage 2 Sustainable urban development has become a critical focus for city planners and policymakers worldwide.As populations continue to urbanize,cities are faced with the challenge of meeting the growing demand for housing,transportation,and infrastructure while minimizing environmental impact.Sustainable urban development aims to create cities that are environmentally sound,socially equitable,and economically viable.One of the key principles of sustainable urban development is the promotion of green spaces within cities.Green spaces,such as parks,gardens,and urban forests,provide numerous benefits,including improving air and water quality,reducing urban heat islands,and enhancing the overall well-being of residents.Integrating green spaces into urban planning can also help to connect communities and provide recreational opportunities.For example,the transformation of abandoned industrial sites into public parks has been a successful strategy in many cities.Another important aspect of sustainable urban development is the adoption of renewable energy sources and energy-efficient building practices.Cities can significantly reduce their carbon footprint by encouraging the use of solar,wind,and other renewable energy technologies.Energy-efficient buildings,equipped with smart systems for heating,cooling,and lighting,can also contribute to energy savings.Additionally,promoting public transportation and cycling infrastructure can reduce reliance on private vehicles,further lowering greenhouse gas emissions.Social equity is also a fundamental component of sustainable urban development.This involves ensuring that all residents have access to essential services,such as affordable housing,clean water,healthcare,and education.Sustainable cities should be designed to be inclusive and provide opportunities for all,regardless of income level or background.Community participation in the planning process is essential to ensure that the needs and perspectives of all residents are taken into account.Questions:6.What is the primary purpose of the passage?(A)To argue against urbanization and promote rural living.(B)To highlight the benefits of green spaces in urban areas.(C)To outline the key principles of sustainable urban development.(D)To criticize the lack of renewable energy use in cities.7.According to the passage,why are green spaces important in cities?(A)They increase the value of real estate.(B)They provide aesthetic value only.(C)They offer environmental and social benefits.(D)They are primarily for recreational use.8.What measures does the passage suggest to promote sustainable urban development in terms of energy?(A)Increasing the use of private vehicles.(B)Encouraging the use of renewable energy and energy-efficient buildings.(C)Building more power plants to meet urban demand.(D)Reducing public transportation services.9.What does the passage emphasize regarding social equity in sustainable urban development?(A)Only wealthy residents should benefit from urban development.(B)All residents should have equal access to essential services.(C)Social equity is less important than environmental concerns.(D)Community participation is unnecessary for social equity.10.Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?(A)Sustainable urban development is only possible in developed countries.(B)Green spaces have no impact on reducing urban heat islands.(C)Energy-efficient buildings can significantly contribute to energy savings.(D)Public transportation should be replaced by private vehicles to reduce emissions.Passage 3 The impact of social media on mental health has been a topic of significant concern and debate in recent years.While social media platforms offer numerous benefits,such as facilitating communication,sharing information,and providing entertainment,they also raise questions about their potential negative effects on users’mental well-being.Studies have explored various aspects of this relationship,including social comparison,cyberbullying,and the addictive nature of social media use.One of the primary concerns regarding social media and mental health is the phenomenon of social comparison.Users often compare their own lives to the idealized versions of others’lives that are presented on social media.This can lead to feelings of inadequacy,envy,and low self-esteem,particularly among younger users who are more susceptible to these influences.The constant exposure to carefully curated images and achievements can create unrealistic expectations and foster a sense of competition rather than connection.Cyberbullying is another significant issue associated with social media.The anonymity and distance provided by online platforms can embolden individuals to engage in harmful behaviors,such as posting embarrassing content,making derogatory comments,or spreading rumors.Victims of cyberbullying may experience psychological distress,anxiety,depression,and in severe cases,even suicidal thoughts.The pervasive nature of social media means that cyberbullying can follow victims wherever they go,making it a persistent and damaging form of harassment.The addictive nature of social media is also a cause for concern.Many social media platforms are designed with features that encourage continuous engagement,such as infinite scrolling,notifications,and personalized content feeds.These features can create a cycle of compulsive checking and scrolling,leading to excessive use and negatively impacting users’daily lives,including their sleep patterns,academic performance,and social interactions.The fear of missing out(FOMO)is a common driver of social media addiction,compelling users to spend more time online to stay connected and informed.While the negative impacts of social media on mental health are significant,it is important to acknowledge that social media is not inherently harmful.The relationship between social media use and mental health is complex and influenced by various factors,including individual differences,usage patterns,and the specific platforms used.Promoting digital literacy,fostering healthy social media habits,and providing support for those who are negatively affected are crucial steps in mitigating the potential harms of social media.Questions:11.What is the main focus of the passage?(A)The benefits of social media for communication and entertainment.(B)The positive impact of social media on mental health.(C)The potential negative effects of social media on mental health.(D)The role of social media in promoting digital literacy.12.According to the passage,what is a primary concern related to social comparison on social media?(A)It encourages users to share more personal information.(B)It leads to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem.(C)It promotes unrealistic expectations for social interactions.(D)It fosters a sense of community and belonging.13.What issues does the passage associate with cyberbullying on social media?(A)Improved social skills among users.(B)Increased awareness of online safety.(C)Psychological distress and harassment.(D)Greater connectivity and friendship formation.14.What factors contribute to the addictive nature of social media,according to the passage?(A)The variety of content available on different platforms.(B)Features designed to encourage continuous engagement.(C)The ease of accessing social media on mobile devices.(D)The presence of social comparison and fear of missing out.15.What is the author’s concluding thought on the relationship between social media and mental health?(A)Social media is inherently harmful and should be avoided.(B)The negative impacts of social media are overstated and exaggerated.(C)The relationship between social media use and mental health is complex and influenced by various factors.(D)Social media should be used more extensively to improve mental health.试卷答案1.(C)解析:文章首段提出AI带来机遇和挑战,第二段讨论工作displacement和new jobs,第三段提出应对措施。选项C“提出的挑战和机遇”最能概括全文主旨。选项A片面,选项B只涉及挑战的一部分,选项D未提及监管。2.(B)解析:根据第二段第二句“Jobs in manufacturing,data entry,and even some areas of
