Part II Reading Comprehension (40%)
Section A
Directions: In this part, you should go over the passage quickly and decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
A lot of my friends are moving out of the city. They’re buying houses in the suburbs because they want to get away from the noise, smog, traffic, and crimes of the city. One friend says, “There’s too much air pollution in the city. I prefer the suburbs, where the air is clean.” Another friend complains about the
traffic: There are too many cars downtown! You can’t find a parking place, and the traffic jams are terrible.” Everyone complains about crime: “The city is full of criminals. I rarely leave my house at
night----it’s too dangerous.”
Before my friends move out of the city, they usually recite the advantages of suburban life: green grass, flowers, swimming pools, barbecues, and so on. Yet after my friends have lived there for a year or so, they realized that suburban life is not so pleasant as they were expecting. What causes this change? Their gardens! They soon learn that one unavoidable part of suburban life is yard work. After they work all weekend in their gardens, they’re much too tired to take a swim in their pools or even to cook some meat on their barbecues. And they have another complaint: they can’t live in suburbs without a car. Most of my friends moved to the suburbs to avoid traffic, but now they have to commute to work downtown. They sit on a busy freeway two hours every day!
My opinions about urban life are very different from my friends’----I live downtown; and I love it! Why? Well, first, I love nature----flowers, trees, and animals. In the city, I have all the advantages of nature: I can walk through the public park, smell the flowers, and sit on the grass under the trees. I can visit the animals in the zoo. Yet I have none of the disadvantages: I don’t have to do yard work or feed the animals. Also, in the city, I can get everywhere by bus; if there’s a traffi c jam, I can walk home.
It seems that everyone is moving to the suburbs to avoid the crime of the big cities. I have a theory about urban crime, however, so I feel safe downtown. The criminal life will reflect changes in society: if people are buying homes in the suburbs, the criminals will soon follow. Criminals want to avoid noise, smog, and pollution, too. Soon overcrowding and crime will be problems of the suburbs instead of the city!
Do the following statements agree with information given in the passage?
21. Many of the writer’s friends have moved out of the city and are enjoying a restful life in the suburbs.
A) Yes B) No C) Not given
22. The writer has decided to join his friends and buy a house in the suburbs.
A) Yes B) No C) Not given
23. After they have lived in the suburbs for over a year, the writer’s friends feel unhappy with their life there.
A) Yes B) No C) Not given
24. The writer’s friends enjoy driving on th e freeway.
A) Yes B) No C) Not given
Section B
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 25 to 28 are based on the following passage:
In the early 1600’s, a group known as Separatists lived in Engl and. They were people who wanted to worship god, study the Bible and pray, but the English laws did not allow them to worship as they desired. They were hunted down, beaten, and locked up.
Eventually, they heard about freedom of religion in Holland, and planned to escape. After much hardship, they were allowed to leave England.
Now called Pilgrims, they lived in Holland for 12 years, but left because they couldn’t stand the hard life, and couldn’t work their own trades. They wanted to find a Kingdom of God for their posterity (后代) to practice religion freely. So they hired the Speedwell and the Mayflower to carry them across the Atlantic to a new land in America.
The Speedwell had many leaks and had to turn back. The Mayflower took in their passengers, making a total of over 100. They sailed two months and three days, exhausted and hungry.
On November 11, 1620, the Mayflower spotted land. They landed in Province town, Massachusetts. For over a month, they sent men to find the perfect place for them to build their colony. When they finally found a place, they called it Plymouth.
Right away they started building homes, knowing winter was near.
Unfortunately, a violent storm hit when the houses were not yet finished. The Pilgrims were forced to stay on cramped (狭窄的) Mayflower for their first winter in the new world. When this winter was over, over half of them had died.
The Pilgrims eventually made a good friend who helped them. His name was Squanto. He showed them where fish swam, how to hunt deer, and how to plant corn.
Squanto was a Native American who was kidnapped early in his life and taken to England. This is why he was able to communicate with the Pilgrims.
With the help of the Native Americans, there was plenty for everyone to eat that first summer, and also plenty to last for the next winter.
The Pilgrims had so much to be thankful for. They gave thanks for good friends, new homes, freedom of religion, and plenty of food in a three-day celebration with their Native American friends.
Today we continue the celebration of the Pilgrims and the Native Americans and call it Thanks-giving.

C) Early English settlements in America.

Passage Two
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the following passage:
Recently, one of my best friends Jennie, with whom I have shared just about everything since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we have both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boy friend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn’t want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn’t believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.
I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for a big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn’t believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boy friend.
By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating that I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apar t to continue our friendship, but I put the power of friendship to the ultimate test. We’d been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.
A Few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boy friend. I just listened on the other end of the phone
with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.

B) She threatened to break up with Jennie if her advice was ignored.
C) She was overcome with pride that Jennie told her about her boy friend.
D) She was very angry with Jennie for choosing such a friend.

B) She felt happy and proud.
C) She felt frustrated and angry.

Passage Three
Questions 33 to 36 are based on the following passage:
It is, everyone agrees, a huge task that the child performs when he learns to speak, and the fact that he does in so short a period of time challenges explanation.
Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instruction some time before they can speak though the word obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative(标示的) of delight, distress, sociability,
and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate they can hardly be regarded as early form of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their repertoire(能发出的全部声音). This self-imitation leads on to deliberate (有意识的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.
33. The first paragraph is mainly about __________.
A) the development of babies’ early forms of language
B) the difficulties of babies in learning to speak
C) babies’ strong desire to communicate
D) babies’ intention to
communicate
34. The author’s purpose in writing the second paragraph is to show that children _________.
A) usually obey without asking questions
B) are passive in the process of learning to speak
C) are born cooperative
D) learn to speak by listening
35. From the passage we learn that ___________.
A) early starters can learn to speak within only six months
B) children show a strong desire role to communicate by making noises
C) imitation plays an important role in learning to speak
D) children have various difficulties in learning to speak
36. The best title for this passage would be __________.
A) How Babies Learn to Speak
B) Early Forms of Language
C) A Huge Task for Children
D) Noise Making and Language Learning
Passage Four
Questions 37 to 40 are based on the following passage:
Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long h ours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years.
I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if I would keep putting my dream to the test ---- even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
37. The passage is meant to __________.
A) warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
B) advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C) show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame
D) encourage young people to pursue a writing career
38. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?
A) He wasn’t able to prod uce a single book.
B) He hadn’t seen a change for the better.
C) He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.
D) He found his dream would never come true.
39. “… people who die wondering, What if?” refers to “ those _________”.
A) who think too much of the dark side of life
B) who regret giving up their career halfway
C) who think a lot without making a decision
D) who are full of imagination even upon death
40. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to __________.
A) the wonderful one often dreams about
B) the bright future that one is looking forward to
C) the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached
D) a world that exists only in one’s imagination

2016 年12 月大学英语四级考试真题及 答案 【篇一：2016 年12 月大学英语四级翻译作文题目及答 案】 翻译一： 在中国文化中，红色通常象征着好运、长寿和幸福。在春节和其他喜庆场合，红色到处可见。人们把现金作为礼物送给家人或亲密朋 友时，通常放在红信封里。红色在中国流行的另一个原因是人们把 它与中国革命和共产党相联系。然而，红色并不总是代表好运与快 乐。因为从前死者的名字常用红色书写，用红墨水写中国人名被看 成是一种冒犯行为。 as a symbol of good luck, longevity and happiness in chinese culture, the color of red can be seen everywhere during springfestive and other festive/ joyous occasions. cash is usually put in red envelopes as gifts for relatives and close/intimate friends. also, red is much-welcomed / fashionable in china because of its association with chinese revolutions and the communist party. however, red does not always represent / equal to good luck and joy. red was previously used to write the names of the deceased so it is seen as an offence to write chinese people ’s names in red ink. 翻译二 随着中国的改革开放，如今很多年轻人都喜欢举行西式婚礼。新娘 在婚礼上穿着白色婚纱，因为白色被认为是纯洁的象征。然而，在 中国传统文化中，白色经常是葬礼上使用的颜色。因此务必记住， 白花一定不要用作祝人康复的礼物，尤其不要送给老年人或危重病 人。同样，礼金也不能装在白色信封里，而要装在红色信封里。 with the reform and opening-up of china, a great many young people nowadays prefer to hold western-style wedding: the bride wears white wedding gown because the color is considered to symbolize purity/is considered as the symbol of purity. however, in tradition chinese culture, white is often used on funerals. so, do bear in mind that white flowers should never be used as a gift to celebrate someone ’s recovery, especially not for the aged or those who are seriously ill.

The sea breezes wake you up and make you eat well and sleep well. The city was planned with straight roads, and these roads cross each other at right angles, making squares as they do in many American cities. Very often you can find yourself on top of a hill in the city, looking down one of these straight roads as it rises and falls on its journey through the town. A good way to travel these roads is by cable car. These are buses that run on rails in the ground up and down the steep hills.

Colleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid Good grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid. But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars. George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago. Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008. Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willing to pay whatever they must for a big-name school. For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running. But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,”says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum. Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it. “As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,”says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Repor t’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17. Merit aid, which benefited about 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about $ 1 million a year, “served us well,”Inzer says, but “to be
