Model Test4

Part One Reading Comprehension

Passage One

Questions1to5are based on the following passage.

When I was learning calligraphy（书法）,my teacher told me a story.

A calligrapher taught handwriting.One of his students who often practiced handwriting with old sheets of newspaper complained that he made very little progress though he had learned it with the calligrapher for a long time.His teacher said to him,“Try to use the best paper.Maybe you’11write better.”

The student did as he was told.It really worked.He made headway not long afterwards and felt curious.He asked his teacher about the reason.The calligrapher answered,“When you used old newspaper to practice handwriting,you would think you were writing a draft.It didn’t matter if you wrote badly as old newspaper was plenty in supply.In that case you wouldn’t pay much attention to it.Now you use the best paper and you’11 treasure it.Each time you write you feel strongly about the rarity of chances and you’11devote to it with all your heart and soul;you’11do the handwriting much more attentively than practicing.Of course you’ve made rapid progress.”

Indeed,we spend our ordinary days just as they are worthless“old newspaper”.We don’t care if we scrawl and waste it,thinking that it will come endlessly----the“old newspaper”is inexhaustible.In such a mood we may each day pass by opportunities but fail to catch any of them.

Life is not a military exercise but an actual war in which real weapons are used.In everyday life there’s no chance for us to draft.That’s because what we call“draft”actually is the answer sheet we write that cannot be changed.

Every day of our life is something new.Let us take every day as a sheet of the best paper.

1.The calligrapher in the story told the student to write on the best paper because he thought__________.

A)the student would practice more carefully on the best paper

B)it was comfortable to write on the best paper

C)the student had enough money to buy the hest paper

2.The student didn't make much progress at first because______

A)he didn't follow his teacher’s advice

B)he was too poor to buy better paper to write on

C)he regarded his writing on old newspaper just as a draft

D)he was not used to the calligrapher’s teaching manner

3.We learn from the passage that________.

A)the student finally gave up

B)the student made rapid progress by practicing more carefully

C)the calligrapher was strict with his students

D)Old newspaper is not useful

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

5.The writer wants to tell us that________

A)there are some good ways to practice handwriting

C)we should learn from the student in the story

D)life will not give us a chance to draw a draft

Passage Two

Questions6to10are based on the following passage.

The Carnegie Foundation report says that many colleges have tried to be“all things to all people”.In doing so,they have increasingly catered to a narrow-minded careerism（野心；追求名利）while failing to cultivate a global vision among their students.The current crisis does not derive from a legitimate desire to put learning to productive ends.The problem is that in too many academic fields,the work has no context;skills,rather than means,have become ends.Students are offered a variety of options and allowed to pick their way to a degree.In short,driven by careerism,“the nation’s colleges and universities are more successful in providing credentials （文凭）than in providing a quality education for their students.”The report concludes that the special challenge confronting the undergraduate college is one of shaping an“integrated core”of common learning.Such a core would introduce students“to essential knowledge,to connections across the disciplines,and in the end,to application of knowledge to life beyond the campus.”

Although the key to a good college is a high-quality faculty,the Carnegie study found that most colleges do very little to encourage good teaching.In fact,they do much to undermine it.As one professor observed “Teaching is important,we are told,and yet faculty know that research and publication matter most.”Not surprisingly,over the last twenty years colleges and universities have failed to graduate half of their four-year degree candidates.Faculty members who dedicate themselves to teaching soon discover that they will not be granted tenure（终身任期）,promotion,or substantial salary increases.Yet70percent of all faculty say their interests lie more in teaching than in research.Additionally,a frequent complaint among young scholars is that “There is pressure to publish,although there is virtually no interest among administrators or colleagues in the content of the publications.”

6.When a college tries to be“all things to all people”,it aims to_____

A)satisfy the needs of all kinds of students simultaneously

B)focus on training students in various skills

C)encourage students to take as many courses as possible

D)make learning serve academic rather than productive ends

7.By saying that“in too many academic fields,the work has no context”the author means that the teaching in these areas______.

A)ignores the actual situation

B)is not based on the right perspective

C)only focuses on an integrated core of common learning

D)gives priority to the cultivation of a global vision among students

8.One of the reasons for the current crisis in American colleges and universities is that______

A)a narrow vocationalism has come to dominate many colleges

B)students don't have enough freedom in choosing what they want to learn

C)skills are being taught as a means to an end

D)students are only interested in obtaining credentials

9.American colleges and universities failed to graduate half of their four-year degree candidates because ________

A)most of them lack high-quality faculties

B)the interests of most faculty members lie in research

C)there are not enough incentives for students to study hard

D)they attach greater importance to research and publication than to teaching

10.It can be inferred from the passage that high-quality college education calls for________

A)putting academic work in the proper context

B)a commitment to students and effective teaching

C)the practice of putting learning to productive ends

D)dedication to research in frontier areas of knowledge

Passage Four

Questions16to20are based on the following passage.

After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in1994,earthquake scientists had good news to report: The damage and death toll（死亡人数）could have been much worse.

More than60people died in this earthquake.By comparison,an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in1988claimed25,000victims.

Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at4:31a.m.on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways.In addition,changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles

during the last20years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways,making them more resistant to quakes.

Despite the good news,civil engineers aren't resting on their successes.Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints（蓝图）for improved quake-resistant buildings.The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.

In the past,making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials,such as steel and wood,that bend without https://www.doczj.com/doc/117742804.html,ter,people tried to lift a building off its foundation,and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations.The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports.Called smart buildings,the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations.When the ground shakes and the building tips forward,the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.

The new smart structures could be very expensive to build.However,they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.

16.One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that_______.

A)new computers had been installed in the buildings

B)it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highways

C)large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holiday

D)improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways

17.The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to____.

A)counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the building

B)predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracy

C)help strengthen the foundation of the building

D)measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations

18.The smart buildings discussed in the passage________.

A)would cause serious financial problems

B)would be worthwhile though costly

C)would increase the complexity of architectural design

D)can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes

19.It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on________.

A)the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital construction

B)the development of flexible building materials

C)the reduction of the impact of ground vibrations

D)early forecasts of earthquakes

20.The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to______.

A)compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U.S.

B)encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computers

C)outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materials

D)report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildings

2012年12月英语四级真题答案

2012年12月英语四级真题答案 一、作文 Education Pay From the bar chart given above, we can observe that it reflects the statistics of income among people of different educational background. Those who possess a doctoral degree earn 1,551dollars median weekly, ranking first among people of other education level. The median weekly earnings of people with associate degree and below can not reach the average of 797 dollars, ranking from 768 dollars to 451 dollars. As for the unemployment rate, 2.5 % of people with doctoral degree will suffer form unemployment. However, the unemployment rate of people with some college, no degree and lower degree surpass the mean value of 7.6%，ranking from 8.7% to 14.1%。 The bar chart of Education Pays reveals a phenomenon that there exits some difference in incomes and unemployment rate among people with different educational level. Quite a few reasons can account for this phenomenon: for one thing, with the advancement of technology and the adjustment of industrial structure, quite a few high-tech industries emerge overnight, which leads to a soar demand of workforces with high educational degree, thus, it is natural that graduates with bachelor’ and higher degree get a h igh pay-packet and enjoy a stable job. Additionally, those with educational background under associate degree are easily dismissed and paid by low salary. They can be replaced any time due to the fact that their jobs are easy and can be finished by average people。 Definitely, the higher education degree you get, the more likely you are to enjoy a competitive edge in the employment market. Thus, the authorities should enforce some policies to ensure the equity of education. Only in this way can more people lead a stable and comfortable life。 二、快速阅读 三、听力理解 Part III Listening Comprehension Section A 11.W: I just heard about a really beautiful park in the east end of the town.

湖南自考学位英语模拟试题及答案详解(一)

2013湖南学位英语仿真模拟试题 试题（一） Part I Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three 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 center. Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. What exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself.” In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debt and y ou don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this rally a lie? Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying. (76)According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly w hen telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks awful. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intension of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way. Research has also be en done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. T o the trained observer th ey are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now.” They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressures make it itch. Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book Manwatching calls “the mouth cover”.(77)He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the mouth. Such a gesture
