Passage 1
Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag，and to ensure proper respect for the flag．Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use．All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag．This may vary somewhat from the general rules．The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand．Do not raise the flag while it is folded．Unfold the flag first，and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole．Lower it slowly and with dignity．Place no objects on or over the flag．Do not use the flag as part of a costume or athletic uniform．Do not print it upon cushions，handkerchiefs，paper napkins or boxes．A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag，or badgers of the US．When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument，it shouldn’t serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled．If it is displayed on such occasions，do not allow the flag to fall to the ground，but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony．Take every precaution to prevent the flag from soiled．It should not be allowed to touch the ground or floor，nor to brush against objects．(227 words)

Passage 2
It has been reported that in colleges across the United States，the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become“in”．Between the hours of 11 a．m．and 4：30 p．m．，college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can’t wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters．
Actually，soaps are more than a college favorite；they’re a youth favorite．When school is out，high–school students are in front of their TV sets．One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials．During the 1960’s，it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas．The mood of the sixties was very different from now．It was a time of seriousness，and talk was about social issues of great importance．
Now，seriousness has been replaced by fun．Young people want to be happy．It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera，which is known for showing trouble in people’s lives．But soap opera is enjoyment．Young people can identify with the soap opera character，who，like the colleg e–age viewer，is looking for happy love，and probably not finding it．And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems．(226 words)

A．Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves．
B．Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people．
C．Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters．
D．Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles．19．What can we learn from the passage？
A．College students like soap operas more than any other social groups．
B．Young people of sixties liked soap operas more than people today．
C．Young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now．
D．The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain．

C．The people’s favorites to drama works is changed by the soap opera．
D．The people’s favorites have changed the drama works．
Passage 3
How men first learnt to invent words is unknown；in other words，the origin of language is a mystery．All we really know is that men，unlike animals，somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings，actions and things，so that they could communicate with each other；and that later they agreed upon certain signs，called letters，which could be combined to present those sounds，and which could be written down．Those sounds，whether spoken or written in letters，we call words．
The power of words，then，lies in their associations．the things they bring up before our minds．Words become filled with meaning for US by experience；and the longer we live，the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn，the more the number of words that mean something increases．
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions．This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style．Above all，the real poet is a master of words．He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears．We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately。or they will make our speech silly and vulgar．(239 words)
21．The origin of language is ．
A．a legend handed down from the past
B．a matter that is hidden or secret
C．a question difficult to answer
D．a problem not yet solved
22．What is true about words?
A．They are used to express feelings only．
B．They can not be written down．
C．They are simply sounds．
D．They are mysterious．
23．The real power of words lies in their ．
A．properties B．characteristics
C．peculiarity D．representative function
24．By“association”．the author means ．
A．a special quality
B．a joining of ideas in the mind
C．an appearance which is puzzling
D．a strange feature
25．Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?
A．He is no more than a master of words．
B．He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music．
C．He can move men to tears．
D．His style is always charming．

More and more teachers and parents have noticed another kind of pollution，46 came from the printed papers sold on streets．
These printed things look like newspaper but have hardly anything to do with them．You can only find reading materials badly 47 there—some are too strange for anyone to believe，48 are frightening stories of something even worse．However，many of the young students are getting absorbed in such poisonous reading，which costs them what they should pay for their breakfast and bring them nightmares and immoral ideas 49 return．Homework is left undone，daily games lost．
These sellers shout on streets selling their papers well．The writers，publishers and printers, 50 they are，we never know，are making their silent money．The sheep skinned wolf’s stories seem to have been forgotten once again．
Why not forbid this kind of things at school? Yes，both teachers and parents have 51 each other for more strict control of the young readers．Yet unfortunately，52 you want to forbid it，the more they want to have a look at it．Sometimes you may even find several children share one patched paper，which has traveled from one hand to 53 driven by the curious nature．
It really does harm to our society．It has already formed a sort of moral pollution．The 54 teachers and parents need more powerful support．Meanwhile，the young readers need more interesting books to help them 55 these ugly papers．
46．A．it B．that C．which D．this pollution 47．A．made of B．made up C．made from D．made in
48．A．the others B．others C．the other D．some others 49．A．as B．in C．for D．from 50．A．however B．whoever C．whichever D．however 51．A．warned B．advised C．persuaded D．asked

第三部分：词汇与结构（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）
26—30 DDAAA 31—35 CCCBB 36—40 CCCAC 41—45 DCCCB

31．【答案】C。【解析】anxiety与tension同义，意思为“紧张”；mark“记号，痕迹”；sign“迹象，现象，标记”；remark“评论”。根据句意，应为show signs of tension“表现出
紧张的样子”。
32．【答案】C。【解析】hardly和scarcely意思均为“几乎不”，与题干中的not构成双重否定，不符合句子意思；almost与not连用时，almost常置于not前面，意思为“几乎不”；只有not nearly为正确结构，意思为“相差很远；远非”。
33．【答案】C。【解析】解答该题的关键是要准确区别anything与everything在肯定句中所表达的意义。根据答话人所说内容可以知道，房间里一切都很整洁，含有整体性，应用everything。anything用于肯定句时，表示强调，该句没有强调之意。
34．【答案】B。【解析】根据多个形容词作定语词序排列规律“限定、描绘、大、长、高，形状、年龄和新老，颜色、国籍和材料，作用类别往后靠”。可知，选项中三个限定词分别为small(大、小)，black(颜色)，leather(材料)。

38．【答案】C。【解析】分析句子意思及句子结构，该句为such…as引导的定语从句，不属于such…that引导的结果状语从句，故排除选项A、B；定语从句中的as代替kind在从句中充当主语，故该从句中的谓语动词用is。
39．【答案】A。【解析】分析语境及讲话人意图可知，第一空的内容强调过去的动作，并不表示现在发生的事，故应用一般过去时；第二空应选will，表示即时决定将要做的事，而be gt)ing to表示按计划、安排要做的事。
40．【答案】C。【解析】taste在此用做联系动词，后接形容词作表语，在这一结构中，taste常用一般现在时的主动形式表示被动意义。
41．【答案】D。【解析】解答该题的关键是要注意有些形容词前加上the以后表示一类人用作主语时的主谓一致关系。the young意思为“年轻人”表示复数意义，故谓语动词要用复数形式。
42．【答案】C。【解析】分析句子意思可知，选项部分为让步状语从句，当从句中用作状语的形容词或名词位于句首时，要用as或though。
43．【答案】C。【解析】remaining在There be结构中用作后置定语，由于，remain是不及物动词，故应用现在分词remaining，相当于定语从句that remains；动词settle置于remain 之后，应用动词不定式的被动结构来表示动作还未完成。
44．【答案】C。【解析】根据答句句意“甚至最好的学生哈里考试也没通过了”可知，第一空应选Yes，(it is)．意为“不，物理考试难”；第二空选项动词belong与to构成不及物动词短语，在句中用作定语，故应选现在分词belonging，相当于定语从句who belongs to…，注意句子的主谓结构为Even Harry failed in it。
45．【答案】B。【解析】根据句意可知，选项动词为原因状语，表主动，强调动作的完成性，相当于一个原因状语从句：As I haven’t prepared tomorrow’s lessons…故应选B(Not having prepared)；选项A为现在分词，不表示完成的意思；选项C为不定式的否定结构表目的；选项D为被动结构。要特别注意not．应置于分词being的前面。
第四部分：完型填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
46—50 ADABC 5l一55 AABCD
46．【答案】A。【解析】转换理解题。短文第一句中的真正的主语to visit another country 与A选项。foreign travel同义。
47．【答案】D。【解析】考查句与句之间的逻辑关系。这个并列句只有用转折连接词but 连接才符合句意，即“对游客来说学习他国的语言将是很困难的；但是，他为学好这门语言所付出的努力在他一踏上这个国土就能体会到了”。
48．【答案】A。【解析】考查固定搭配。on one's arrival等于时间状语从句when／as soon as one arrives at the country。
49．【答案】B。【解析】考查词组搭配。order a meal“点菜；订餐”，book a room“预定房间”。其他选项eat／buy a meal词组搭配正确，但是不符合句意。
50．【答案】C。【解析】考查句型。It is +adj．for sb．to do sth．“对某人来说做某事……”。
51．【答案】A。【解析】考查定语从句。在定语从句中主语要用关系代词who替代。
52．【答案】A。【解析】考查句意推断题。“当然，不用语言游客也能参观游览景点；但是景点不是任何一个国家的核心”。
53．【答案】B。【解析】考查主谓一致。Places and things作为主语是复数，同时是一般现在时态，所以B选项正确。
54．【答案】C。【解析】考查词组搭配。a trip to+地点“到某地去旅行”。
55．【答案】C。【解析】考查不定式的用法。这是It is +adj．for sb．to do sth．“对某人来说做某事……”的句型，to是不定式的标记，后接动词原型，所以D选项正确。

Bad Manners in Public
Although we consider ourselves as highly advanced beings living in a civilized society，bad manners can still be found here and there．For example，some cyclists run the red traffic lights，many passengers litter waste papers and plastic bags in public places，and some tourists scrabble in tourist attractions，let alone spit on the street．In the cinema．some audience talk loudly on cell phones in front of others．
I'm strongly against talking loudly in the cinema，for this behaviour shows no respect at all to others；what’s worse，it upsets the audience who are in the mood of having fun．

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

The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte.

Passage 2 A foreigner's first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush-often under pressure. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands(任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. 一个外国人对于美国的第一印象很有可能是每个人都在压力下匆匆忙忙。城市里的人总是表现得匆匆忙忙不知疲倦的，为了尽快做完一件事情，他们会在店里拼命引起店员的注意或者用胳膊肘推搡别人。白天匆忙就餐也是这个国家生活节奏的一个部分。 Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you. 工作时间被认为是很珍贵的。在一些公共饮食场所，其它人会等在你旁边等你吃完，这样大家都可以得到服务，并赶在规定的时间内回去工作。每个人都会尽快给下一个人腾出地方。如果你不这样，侍者会催促你的。 You also find drivers will be abrupt and people will push past you.
