19、“逐一询问”在逻辑意义上不符。48. 【快速解题】动词辨义题。J【火眼金睛】空格处在with短语中，且应该作宾语parents的补足语。根据句意可知此处应为“研究人员将他们与父母双方在家自由玩耍的情景录制下来，并记录他们所有的谈话。”可以看出此处需填一个动名词，并含有“记录”的意思，备选动词中recording符合题意。49. 【快速解题】动词辨义题。L【火眼金睛】空格位于the与number之间，可知此处需填入一个形容词作定语。备选形容词中total符合题意，意为“父母亲话语总的数量”。50. 【快速解题】名词辨义题。C【火眼金睛】空格位于other之后，可知此处需填入名词，备选名词只有as

20、pects符合题意，意为“科学家们测量了父母亲话语总的数量，使用不同词汇的数量，他们的语句的复杂程度以及他们语言的其他方面。”51. 【快速解题】动词辨义题。B【火眼金睛】空格在主语theresearchers之后，可知此处应填入谓语动词的过去时态。剩余的备选动词中analyzed符合题意，意为“最后，当孩子们三岁时，研究者们对孩子进行了标准化的语言测试，并对他们的语言进行了分析。”52. 【快速解题】名词辨义题。H【火眼金睛】空格处前后分别为the与of,可知此处需填入名词，根据上下文可知该句意为“测试中，预测高分的指标包括母亲受教育的程度，养育孩子的质量，父亲使用不同词汇的数量。”备选名词

21、中quality符合题意。53. 【快速解题】形容词辨义题。N【火眼金睛】空格位于be动词与why从句之间，可知需填入形容词或过去分词，以构成系表结构。动词中的剩余词汇，均不能使句意通顺。备选形容词中unsure可使句意通顺，意为“令研究者们疑惑的是为什么父亲而非母亲的语言对孩子有影响。”54. 【快速解题】动词辨义题。G【火眼金睛】空格处在iswell和that从句之间，此处需要填入过去分词。备选动词中established符合题意，其中itiswellestablishedthat，意为“大家公认”。55. 【快速解题】副词辨义题。A【火眼金睛】本句结构完整，空格处需填入一个副词。空格前后

22、的had并不相同，前面的had是构成过去完成时态的助动词，后面的had是短语haveastronginfluenceon，结合句意，备选副词中already符合题意。56. 【快速解题】动词辨义题。E【火眼金睛】纵观全句，空格处应填入现在分词，与are构成现在进行时态。根据句意“最终对于整个学校的文化氛围都会产生有益的影响”。备选动词中contributing符合题意，意为“可能母亲起作用的方式在研究中我们没有测量。”2009年6月英语四级考试真题与答案Questions47to56arebasedonthefollowingpassage.Everyyearinthefirstweekofm
