Passage 1

People have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term-quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.

Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. Y ou could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.

6、________ leads to people's deeper understanding of health.

A:Common knowledge

B:Progress in scientific research

C:Better conditions of living

D:Quality of life

7、According to the passage, to people of today, health means ________.

A:absence of illness

B:a long life

C:good conditions of living

D:overall satisfaction with life

8、The emphasis of health has shifted nowadays because _________.

A:people enjoy better conditions of living and they can live longer

B:people pay more attention to their physical health, not their mental health

C:people have realized the importance of mental well-being

D:people are inspired by medical advances

9、We can infer from the passage __________.

A:nowadays the emphasis of health has a broader focus because of improvements in the quality of food

B:the overall quality of people's lives improved greatly in the 20th century

C:those who never fall ill are the truly healthy people

D:those who were born before 1900 could not have lived until now

10、This passage is mainly about __________.

A:different understandings of the term "health"

B:improving the quality of life

C:the importance of quality living

D:people's expectations of a long and healthy life

Passage 2

Some people have the feeling that nothing can be done about their poor reading ability(能力). They feel hopeless about it. Can you learn to read better, or must you agree that nothing can be done about it?

To be sure, people are different. You cannot do everything as well as certain other people do. If all the students in a class tried out for basketball, some would be very good players; others would be very poor; and many would be in between. But even the very poor players can become much better players if they are guided in the right way, and with plenty of practice. It is the same with reading. Some seem to enjoy reading and to read well without any special help. Others find reading a slow and tiring job. In between, there are all degrees of reading ability.

Many experiments have shown that just about every poor reader can improve his reading ability. In these experiments, the poor readers were given tests of reading ability. After some of the causes of their poor reading were discovered, they were given special instruction and practice in reading. After a few months, another test of the same kind was given. In nearly all cases, these people had raised their reading scores.

11. With the example of basketball players, the author shows _____.

A. why certain people are poor readers

B. that there are differences in people’s abilities

C. why some people are good basketball players

D. that good basketball players can be good readers

12.To improve their reading ability, people should _____.

A. work long and hard

B. take different forms of tests

C. have special help and practice

D. try different reading materials

13.The experiments mentioned in the text show that _____.

A. good readers seem to enjoy reading

B. almost all poor readers can make progress

C. causes of poor reading are difficult to find out

D. tests help people improve their reading ability

14. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Nothing can be done about poor reading ability.

B. People are different.

C. Poor basketball players can be very good ones.

D. Reading ability can be improved.

15. What is the author’s attitude towards reading ability improvement?

A. positive

B. negative

C. neutral

D. indifferent

Passage 3

People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man's release of completely new and often artificial (人造的) substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance (物质), such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.

Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up there or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy thing we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (处理) of the products we use in our daily lives.

16. The main cause of pollution is _____.

A. the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment

B. the production of new industrial goods

C. increased amounts of a natural substance

D. our ever-increasing population

17. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only _____.

A. people would pay more attention to the problem

B. governments would take effective measures

C. all sides concerned would make more efforts

D. farmers would use less artificial fertilizers

18. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause _____.

A. air and water pollution

B. both a litter problem and a waste of resources

C. to pay for the service

D. to produce the receipt

19. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution?

A. Cutting out unnecessary buying

B. Eating less

C. Reduce excess use

D. Carefully dispose our daily products.

20. What does the underlined word "litter" mean in paragraph 2 ?

A. not many

B. serious problem

C. bits of waste things

D. industrial pollution

Passage 1

A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his fiancée (未婚妻). The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to make her a present on her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it, as he had very little money. The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things there: gold watches, diamond… but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he could not take his eyes off. It was a beautiful vase. That was a suitable present for his fiancée. He had been looking at the vase for half an hour when the manager of the shop noticed him. The young man looked so pale, sad and unhappy that the manager asked what had happened to him.

The young man told him everything. The manager felt sorry for him and decided to help him.

A bright idea struck him. The manager pointed to the corner of the shop. To his great surprise the young man saw a vase broken into many pieces. The manager said: "When the servant enters the room, he will drop it."

On the birthday of his fiancée the young man was very excited.

Passage 2

There are many factors which may have an influence on adults and children being able to lead a healthy life.

Nowadays, people are very busy. Often, both parents work outside the home. Children are expected to take on more responsibility at home to help their parents. They also have sporting and leisure activities as well as school expectations.

The busyness also adds another factor: the need to use cars to get from one place to another quickly.

Today, society places a lot of emphasis on technology. Computers, DVDs. CDs, television, PlayStations and Xboxes have become major leisure activities, rather than traditional more active pursuits. This has led to a more sedentary lifestyle.

The media provide entertainment and information. Unfortunately, they also promote fast food which fits easily into busy lifestyles. It is much more convenient at times to buy a quick takeaway rather than prepare a meal. The media constantly bombard(轰炸) their audience with ‘perfect’ body images, the need to buy the most fashionable clothes, the most up-to-date computer games, the best places to visit and the best things to do.

Environments vary. We may be exposed to pollution, such as cigarette smoke. This can be harmful to people who suffer from breathing difficulties. Environments where passive smoking is unavoidable make it difficult to lead a healthy life.

It is important for everyone to be accepted and cared about by family and friends. Both of these groups can influence people--positively and negatively.

Negatively feelings can lead people to adopt an unhealthy lifestyle.

Perhaps the most important factor influencing healthy lifestyles is motivation. Or the desire to be healthy. Any person who wants to be healthy will find a way to be healthy —if he/she is motivated enough!

11. The passage is mainly about _____.

A. benefits of a healthy life style

B. demands of daily life

C. factors affecting a healthy lifestyle

D. a positive approach to healthy living

12. The word “sedentary” in Paragraph 4 probable means _____.

A. having a lot of things to do

B. involving little exercise or physical activity

C. being isolated from the outside world

D. experiencing a lot of stress

13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a factor leading to the popularity of fast food?

A. Cheap price.

B. The media.

C. Busy lifestyle.

D. Convenience

14. Which is NOT listed as a factor influencing the ability to have a healthy lifestyle?

A. Pollution.

B. Economic factors.

C. Dependence upon cars.

D. Influence of family or friends.

15. According to the author, ____may be the most important factor influencing healthy l ifestyles.

A. technology

B. cultural background

C. environment

D. the desire to be healthy

Passage 3

In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early postwar era, there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction.

Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone awry. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.

16. What is the main purpose of this passage?

A. To look back to the early days of computers.

B. To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.

C. To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.

D. To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.

17. According to the passage, initial concerns about computers were that they might__________.

A. lead us into the post-war era

B. be quite widespread

C. take control

D. take over routine tasks

18. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to__________.

A. be reasonably skeptical abort them

B. check all their answers

C. substitute them for basic thinking

D. use them for business purposes only

19. An “internal computer” is__________.

A. a computer uses exclusively by one company for its own problems

B. a person’s store of knowledge and the ability to process it

C. the most up-to-date in-house computer a company can buy

D. a computer from the post-war era which is very reliable

20. The passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is__________.

A. challenging

B. psychological

C. dramatic

D. malfunctioning

Passage 1

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Toady, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the world’s population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.

In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s needs in the future.

The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor.

Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind.

Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largely solved.

A. Needs of Man.

B. Sea Harvest and Food

Passage 2

When I begin to look back on all friends whom I have had, I quickly came to the conclusion that Jerry was the most important and had the greatest effect upon my life. His family moved to my block when I was only 10. Jerry was 15 at the time, but the fact that he was so much older than me seemed to make no difference to him. I was very glad that he liked me. We took long walks together, on which he would tell me stories he had heard form TV and radio programs.

But as months went by, a change came into our friendship. Jerry almost stopped coming by the house, and every time I went to his house or telephoned, he put me off with some excuses such as "I'm studying now" or "I've got some jobs to do for Mum". When we passed on the street, he would still give me a warm smile and friendly wave with a "Hi, kid", but he would hardly ever stop to talk. Finally I realized that he was no longer interested in me and that his taste had changed.

I noticed him with a girl once in a while and several times saw him going out in his family's c ar on

a Friday or Saturday night. I simply couldn't understand what was so great about girls and parties.

But I was hurt when he finally made me know that our friendship was at an end. Of course he didn't really mean to hurt me, but it was a long time before I realized that it was an age problem that caused the break. There were a world of differences between the ideas and interests of a

17-year-old and a 12-year-old. Now that I'm over sixteen myself, I realized this, and the hurt I got then has become happy memories of the good times we were once together. I wonder if millions of other boys and girls have had a similar experience.

11、When the writer and Jerry first met, Jerry was ______.

A:10 years old

B:5 years older than the writer

C:of the same age as the writer

D:the writer's classmate

12、Their friendship lasted for ______.

D:a few hours

13、Jerry stopped playing with the writer because ______.

A:the writer had changed

B:he was busy with his study

C:he has some jobs to do

D:he was not interested in the writer

14、When a change came in their friendship, the writer ______.

A:accepted it at once

B:couldn't understand his friend for a long time

C:stopped visiting his friend

D:started going to parties with girls

15、The main idea of the passage is that ______.

A:the age difference plays a part in friendship

B:friendship is the most important thing for children

C:many boys and girls have a similar experience as the writer

D:"friends are made in wine and tested in tears"

Passage 3

In the water around New York city is a very small island called Liberty Island. On Liberty Island there is a very special statue called the Statue of Liberty. It is one of the most famous sights in the world.

The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Liberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of U.S independence from England. The statue was built in France, taken apart piece by piece, and then rebuilt in the United States. It was opened for the public on October 28, 1886.

As you might expect, the statue is very big. Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue. If they want, they can then walk up 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjoy the beautiful sight of the city of New York.

大学英语四级模拟试题四(附含答案解析)

大学英语四级模拟题四 Part One Reading Comprehension (2’×10 = 20’) Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. 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 Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow”from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory(呼吸的)diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases. Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility (能见度). There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals are apt(易于的)to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers. Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes(腐蚀)our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control. 1. Air pollution may lead to airplane accidents because . A. it may cause pilots to be ill B. engines may fail from the air-borne dirt C. visibility is reduced D. it brings a lot of black snow 2. Scientists are trying to find a link between pollution and . A. intelligence levels B. birth problems C. man’s behavior D. the nervous system 3. Scientists have not yet determined . A. all of the effects of pollution on the human body B. how pollution can be controlled successfully C. when the atmosphere first became polluted D. how some snow becomes black 4. The author suggests that before air pollution becomes more serious, . A. factories will be forced to stop operating B. buildings should be protected C. the earth will begin to grow colder D. more money should be spent to solve the problem 5. We can conclude that . A. civilization may be ruined if pollution is not controlled B. pollution is more serious in Europe than it is in America C. most people do not know that pollution is a serious problem D. we should learn all the answers before we begin to control pollution Passage Two Stiletto heels could be banned from the workplace because of health and safety reasons, according to British Trade Union bosses. The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear “sensible shoes”with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference. The motion states: “Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely in appropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Feet bear the burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders. Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints. Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code. More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected.” Nadline Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticized the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace. “I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye,”she said. “If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me. The Trade Union leaders need to get real, stop using obvious sexist tactics by discussing women’s

Sometimes I can’t believe these people. Jay: What do you mean? I thought you loved it here. Steve: Yeah, I don’t know. The work is good. I love promotions work. But, man, the system here is driving me nuts.They have so many rules! Jay: Yeah, they kind of do. But it’s just different, you know? You’ll get used to it. I promise. Steve: Really? Well, different is fine, but sometimes I think I’m going to snap. They’re so strict, especially my boss. Jay: Mr. Takahashi? Steve: Yeah, I mean, he’s a really good boss, very smart about business, but he never really tells me what he’s thinking Jay: Sometimes bosses are quiet like that. Steve: But I can feel his eyes, man. It’s like he’s watching me all the time. I have to be at work right on time, not a second late. Jay: Yeah. Being on time is really important here. Steve: And meeting people is so formal. That drives me nuts. I never know what to do. Should I bow? Should I shake hands? Should I shake hands and bow at the same time? Should I say shitsurei-shimasu? Jay: Actually, that might help if you learn a little Japanese. Steve: It just seems that everyone is too polite all the time. Can’t they just relax a little bit? Everyone here is so uptight. They all sort of run around and bow and shrink whenever Takahashi comes into the office. Jay: Well, they just have different ways of doing things, I guess. And I think they’ll relax after you get to know them a bit. Part 2 Alan: Takahashi-san, how is the new person in the promotions department doing? T: You mean, Steve-san? Alan: Yeah, Steve Jones. How’s he doing? Is he adjust ing to the company working style OK? T: Mm. So desu-ne. Alan: So, still on a learning curve? T: Mm. He’s very talented, very intelligent. And good spirit.

大英2英语口语测试题及答案

U1 TOPIC 1 Famous Universities 1.What kind of universities are good universities in your eyes? First of all, it should have a strong studying atmosphere. I hope students there can talk about their own opinions with freedom. Secondly, the teachers should be high standard and responsible. Then, the teaching equipment should be good, which will contribute to our study. 2.Do you think universities should try their best to provide their students with more scholarships? Why or why not? I don’t think more scholarships are necessary. Merit-based(基于优秀的;以业绩为基础的)scholarships, which are mainly awarded by universities, aim to encourage the students to learn more. It’s a motivation, or a reputation. Students who have financial problems could apply for need-based scholarships. So it’s not necessary for universities to provide more scholarships. 3.Which is more important in your college life, study or working experience? Why? In my opinion, we students should put study in the first place. Only by learning enough knowledge and skills now can we get a good job in the future. Our main task is to lay a solid(可靠的;坚实的) foundation for the future. So, it’s out of question that study is more important in college life. 4.If you had the opportunity to further your study in famous universities either at home or abroad, which would you choose?Why? T o be honest, I’d like to go abroad. First, I want to broaden my horizon. I have been dreaming about something quite different. Second, the academic atmosphere is freer abroad. Finally, I hope to meet more friends from all over the world. So, if possible, I’d like to go out to experience the study life there. 5.What is the aim for your college life?Explain. Above all, it’s beyond question that I want to acquire the knowledge and skills I expected. We can surely gain some working and even social experience. But they should not be our main aim. We should respect our university, the last place from where we get system education. So, my aim for college life is to learn as much as I can. 6.Do you think having a part-time job might affect your academic performance? Why or why not? Personally I think it will. It’s certain that taking a part-time job will occupy some study time. Study is not just doing homework. It requires many practices. Having a part-time job may affect our further study and our academic performance. Section Two Please have a group discussion on the following topic: What can make a university famous? Please give as many examples as possible. In my view, a famous university should have excellent teachers、tutors、professors and all of them and the managements should be responsible for their students. In addition the school should provide good facilities and enough support for the students, such as libraries, museums and scientific collections. U2 TOPIC 1 Jobs and Careers 1.What kind of jobs do you think will be the most popular in the future? It is no surprise that one of the fastest growing areas of employment in recent years relates to computer technology. Technological advance and the continued integration of IT and digital communications into the workplace throughout the private, public

2012级普通班翻译材料 (一)节日 练习1 农历的正月初一是春节,即农历的新年。据说春节是由冬天的祭拜活动(Sacrifice)发展而来的。在远古社会,冬祭是人们的一种习俗。在所有的节日当中,春节对我们来说是最重要的。在春节到来的前几天,我们便把房子打扫得干干净净并装饰一新(spring-clean:大扫除)。老人们说必须干干净净过春节,这样来年才会幸福、交好运。根据中国的传统,中国人年年过春节,家家都要贴春联(Spring Festival couplet),以表达对新年的祝愿。(167字) 练习2 当公历到了6月份,我们发觉一年的时间已经过去了一半。然而,农历(lunar calendar)五月份才刚刚开始,在中国,人们正准备欢度一个传统节日——端午节。几千年以来,端午节的标志是吃粽子(Zongzi)和划龙舟(dragon boat)。在中国古代,人们认为龙是掌管水的神,而水对日常生活和农业生产至关重要。端午节那天,人们划龙船是为了用粽子款待水神,使他快乐。目的是期望神保佑人们一年四季风调雨顺。(163字) 练习3 每年除夕这一天,家家户户门上贴着红色春联(Spring Festival couplet)。晚上全家欢聚一堂共进晚餐。人们无论离家多远,都总是想法设法赶回家分享这顿团圆饭。家庭聚餐之后,全家人围坐在一起,观看中央电视台的春节联欢晚会。父母或祖父母给孩子们压岁钱,鼓励他们来年学习更好。当孩子睡着之后,有的父母把压岁钱放在他们的枕头下。作为新年礼物的压岁钱象征两件事:一是希望孩子在新的一年里平平安安成长,二是增加节日气氛。(191字) (二)饮食 练习4 我们中国人在互致问候时,尤其在过去,倾向于问“你吃了吗?”这就是为什么我们说中国文化是以饮食为主的。中国人民过去非常关注饮食,因为饥荒在中国烹饪
