Part II Reading Comprehension (15 minutes)
(1)Directions : In this part, you will have 15 minutes to .go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1 - 7, mark Y (for YES ) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO ) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.For questions 8 - 10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Build up Your V ocabularyExactly what do you do during a normal day? How do you spend your time? Paul T. Rankin very much wanted an answer to that question To get it, he asked sixty-eight individuals to keep an accurate, detailed record of what they did every minute of their waking hours. When he consolidated his findings, he discovered that the average individual spent 70 percent of his waking time doing one thing only communication. That meant either reading, writing, speaking or listening.Put that evidence alongside of the research findings uncovered by the Human Engineering Laboratories. In exploring aptitudes and careers involving, among other things, data from 30,000 vocabulary tests given yearly, they discovered that big incomes and big vocabularies go together. V ocabulary, more than any other factors yet known, predicts financial success.And it all fits. Each word you add to your vocabulary makes you a better reader, writer, speaker and listener. Furthermore, linguistic scientists are quick to point out that we actually think with words. If that is so, new words make us better thinkers as well as communicators. No wonder more words are likely to mean more money. What better reason for beginning right now to extend your vocabulary? Take reading. What exactly do you read? Common sense says you read words. Research confirms that fact. "Vocabulary in context" contributes 39 percent to comprehension. That's more than any other factor isolated and studied even more than intelligence. And "word in parts" contributes more to speed of reading than any other factor. In short, your efforts to improve vocabulary will pay off in both comprehension and speed.Suppose, as you're reading along, you come across a strange word lumtebs.Did you find yourself stopping for a closer look at lumtebs? Pardon the spelling slip. That's actually the word stumble (偶然发现).The letters just got mixed around. Obviously you now know that strange words do slow you down -- or even stop derstand, "eschew
garrulity" or "avoiding talking too much".What you need is a vital, dynamic approach to vocabulary building. Hybrid ( 混合种) corn combines the best qualities of several varieties to ensure maximum productivity. A hybrid approach to vocabulary should, in the same way, ensure maximum results. That's why you should use the CPD formula.Through ContextWhen students in a college class were as
(2)Researchers in the Human Engineering Laboratories discovered the evidence that big vocabulary means big financial success.[Y．N．NG．]
(3)Reading through "vocabulary in context" is more effective than reading through "word in parts”.[Y．N．NG．]
(4)Hybrid corn is not like a hybrid approach to vocabulary in that hybrid com doesn't ensure maximum results which the latter ensures.[Y．N．NG．]
(5)In reading, most college students will consult the dictionary when they encounter a new word,which offers greater help.[Y．N．NG．]
(6)Often, reading through familiar word parts definitely helps understand the meaning of unfamiliar words one reads.[Y．N．NG．]
(7)This passage is meant to teach readers how to enlarge their vocabularies by means of the CPD Formula.[Y．N．NG．]
(8)It is advised that you not consult the dictionary before you go through the mental gymnastics to get__________
(9)Compared with consulting the dictionary, readers heightened interest' in using context and word parts will lead to________ of word and meaning.
(10)The benefits of using__________ will be similar to depositing money in the bank.

(1)Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions{TSE}are based on the following passage.The traditional wedding VOW "to stay together till death do us part" is becoming outdated in most western countries as divorce rates continue to rise steadily. In the US, for example, the1 for1978 show one divorce for every two marriages; in that year, over a million couples had their marriages2, often at high financial and social cost.One factor behind the3rise in divorce, rotes, according to sociologists, is the changing status of women, More and more women are continuing to work after marriage, thus remaining4 independent. What's more, they are becoming5tolerant of husbands who treat them as subordinates. Another important factor is the6relaxation of divorce law in many states. It is now7easy to obtain a divorce on the8of irretrievable breakdown of marriage. While divorce is often the only satisfactory solution married couples who can no longer stand the sight of each other, it can have a 9 effect on their kids. It is10that one in four children in the United States currently lives with only one parent. Many such children grew up to be emotionally unstable to cope with the pressures of modern society. They are the principal victims of divorce.

Part IV Reading Comprehension Reading in Depth (35 minutes)
(1)Questions {TSE} are based on the following passage.Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or Calculated the length of the year, or manured(施肥于) a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers.People think a great deal of them, so much that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight, so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently -- this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done -- is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some ways of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And not only has it won, but, because it has won, it has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right.That is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or mutilated. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets -- while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life -- nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.{TS}The first sentence of the passage tells us that___________
A. most history books were written by conquerors, generals and soldiers
B. those who really helped civilization forward are not mentioned in any history book
C. conquerors, generals and- soldiers should not be mentioned in history books
D. history books tells us far more about conquerors and soldiers than about those who really helped civilization forward
(2)According to the passage, most people believe that the greatest countries are those that___________
A. built the highest pillars for their conquerors
B. were ruled by the greatest number of conquerors
C. won the greatest number of battles against other countries
D. were beaten in battle by the greatest number of other countries
(3)In the author' s opinion, the countries that ruled over a large number of other countries are __________
A. certainly not the greatest in any way
B. neither the greatest nor the most civilized
C. possibly the most civilized but not the greatest
D. possibly the greatest in some sense but not the most civilized
(4)The author says that civilized people should___________
A. not have any quarrels to settle
B. settle their quarrels without fighting
C. not fight when there are no quarrels to Settle
D. settle their quarrels by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side
(5)Which of the following is closest in meaning to the sentence "For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right." ?
A. Only those who are powerful should go to wa
B. In a war only those who are powerful will wi
C. Those who are right should fight against those who are wron
D. Those who fight believe that the winner is right and the loser wron
(6)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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Questions{TSE}are based on the following passage. A strange thing, about humans is their capacity for blind rage. Rage is presumably an emotion resulting from survival instinct, but the surprising thing about it is that we do not deploy (对付) it against other animals. If we encounter a dangerous wild animal " a poisonous snake or a wild cat-- we do not fly into a temper. If we are unarmed, we show fear and attempt to back away; if we are suitably armed, we attack, but in a rational manner not in a rage. We reserve rage for our own species. It is hard to see any survival value in attacking one's own, but if we take account of the long competition which must have existed between our own subspecies" and others like Neanderthal man- indeed others still-more remote from us than Neanderthal man -- human rage becomes more comprehensible.In our everyday language and behavior there are many reminders of those early struggles. We are always using the words "us and them". "Our" side is perpetually trying to do down the "other" side. In games we artificially create other subspecies we can attack. The opposition of "us" and them" is the touchstone of the two party system of "democratic" politics. Although there are no very serious consequences to many of these modem psychological representations of the "us and them" emotion, it is as well to remember that the original aim was not to beat the other subspecies in a game but to exterminate it. The readiness
with which humans allow themselves to be regimented(严密编组) has permitted large armies to be formed, which, taken together with the "us and them" blind rage, has led to destructive(毁灭性的) clashes within our subspecies itself. The First World War is an example in which Europe divided itself into two imaginary subspecies. And there is a similar extermination battle now in Northern Ireland．The idea that there is a religious basis for this clash is illusory, for not even the Pope has been able to control it. The clash is much more primitive than the Christian religion, much older in its emotional origin. The conflict in Ireland is unlikely to stop until a greater primitive fear is imposed from outside the community, or until the combatants become exhausted.{TS}According to the author, the surprising aspect of human anger is________
A. that we reserve anger for mankind
B. its lengthy and complex development
C. that we do not fly into a temper more often
D. a conflict that is now going on in Northern Ireland
(7)The passage suggests that_________
A. the emotional origin of the war in Ireland is lost in time
B. B historically, we have created an "us" versus "them" society
C. humans have had a natural disinclination toward formal grouping
D. the First World War is an example of how man has always avoided domination
(8)From the passage we can infer that__________
A. games are psychologically unhealthy
B. any artificially-created suBspecies would Be our enemy
C. the artificial creation of a suBspecies unlike us is something that never happens
D. the real or imagined existence of an opposing suBspecies is inherent in man's activities
(9)The author Believes that a religious explanation for the war in Northern Ireland is_________
A. founded in historical fact
B. apparent
C. misleading
D. proBaBly accurate
(10)The Best title for this passage would Be________
A. Man's Anger Against Rage
B. Early Struggles of Angry Man
C. The Human Capacity for Rage
D. Why Human Armies Are Formed

(3)Directions : There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.More surprising, perhaps, than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and1. As Skolnick notes, Americans are a marrying people --2to Europeans, more of us marry and we marry at a younger age.3, after a decline in the early 1970s, the4of marriage in the United States is now5. Even the divorce rate needs to be taken in this pro-marriage context -- some 80 percent of6individuals remarry.7, marriage remains by far the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our remarry. What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family. Twenty-five years ago, the8 American family consisted of a husband, a wife, and two or three children.9, there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children. And there are many marriages where at10some of the children are from the wife's11 marriage, or the husband's, or both. Sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the12marriage;13they are shared between the two former parents. Thus, one can find every type of family arrangement. There are marriages14children; marriages with children from only the15 marriage; marriages with " full-time" children from both the present and former marriage; 16with "full-time" children from the present marriage and "part-time" children from former marriages. It is not all that17for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents! These are18changes from the traditional nuclear family.19 even so, even in the midst of all this,20one constant: most Americans spend most of their adult lives married.{TS}

(1) :
【线索词】Paul T．Rankin 【定位处】首段最后两句
【解析】Y。本题的线索信息是Paul T．Rankin，从而将题目出处定位到文章首段。该段最后两句引出了Paul T．Rankin的调查结果：人们平均把一天当中70%的清醒时间用于读、写、说、听。题千正是对这两句话的概括，用most替代了70 percent，故答案为Y。
【设题处】数字处设题(2) :
【线索词】Human Engineering Laboratories 【定位处】第二段最后两句
【解析】Y。本题的线索信息是Human Engineering Laboratories，从而将题目出处定位到文章第二段。该段第二句引出研究结果：丰富的词汇量与丰厚的收入是并肩而行的，即丰富的词汇量就意味着经济上的巨大成功。题干表述与此一致，故答案为Y。末句更加证明了这一研究结果。
【设题处】观点处设题(3) :
【线索词】“vocabulary in context”；“word in parts”【定位处】第四段第五至七句
【解析】NG。本题的线索信息是“vocabulary in context”和“word in parts”，从而将题目出处定位到文章第四段。该段第五句提到：“根据上下文理解词义”(“vocabulary in context”)在促进文章理解方面起的作用最大；而后又指出：”根据词根推测词义”(“word in parts”)能加快阅读速度。可见，“vocabulary in context”和“word in parts”在阅读过程中所起的作用分别体现在不同的方面，所以二者没有可比性，更无从判断哪个效果更好，故答案为NG。【设题处】对比处设题(4) :
【线索词】Hybrid corn；hybrid approach 【定位处】第七段第二、三句
【解析】N。本题涉及到Hybrid corn和hybrid approach to vocabulary的异同，从而将题目出处定位到文章第七段。该段第三句提到：采用混合方法解决词汇问题同样可以带来最大的效果，in the same way是说这与第二句提到的“杂交玉米结合了所有品种的优良品质道理相同，所以可以保证最大产量”，可见二者之间是存在一致性的，题干表述与此矛盾，故答案为N。【设题处】举例处设题(5) :
【线索词】most college students 【定位处】Through Context下首段
【僻析】N。本题涉及大学生遇到生词时的习惯反应，从而将题目出处定位到Through Context 部分。该部分首段提到：84％的大学生都习惯遇到生词时直接查字典，题干的主句部分与此相符；但接下来作者指出了这种做法存在的弊端：一遇到生词就查字典的做法避开了主动思考的过程，而这一过程恰恰是最能使努力产生效果的。题干中的从句部分是说遇到生词就查字典的做法对学生帮助更大，这与原文的意思相悖，故答案为N。(6) :
【线索词】word parts 【定位处】Through Word Parts下首段第二句和末段
【解析】Y。本题与词根(word parts)有关，从而将题目出处定位到Through Word Parts部分。该部分首段提到：生词里经常会包含一些词根，认识这些词根对理解生词确实有帮助；该部分末段也指出：即使熟悉的词根不能体现生词的确切含义，也可以让阅读者的猜测与词义更加接近，题干表述的意思与此一致，故答案为Y.
【设题处】事实处设题(7) :
【线索词】This passage；meant to 【定位处】全文
【解析】Y。本题考查文章的写作意图，需通读全文后进行归纳概括。文章前七段介绍了词汇学习的重要性，并最终引入正题：That，s why you should use the CPD formula。接下来文章分别介绍了CPD词汇学习法的三个方面。最后两段中，作者先是强调如何通过CPD Formula获得词汇学习的最大效率，继而发出使用CPD Formula的倡议。可见本文的写作目的就是为了教授学习者如何通过CPD Formula扩大词汇量，故答案为Y.
【设题处】主旨处设题(8) :
【线索词】not consult the dictionary before 【定位处】Through the Dictionary下首段末句【解析】a tentative definition。本题涉及到有关查字典的建议，从而将题目出处定位到Through the Dictionary部分。该部分首段末句提到：只有经过思考，尝试着给出生词的释义之后才能查字典证实。自己是否正确。题干中的is advised that you not consult the dictionary before为原文中的倒装结构Only after…should you的同义转述：用before替代afar调换了两个步骤的先后顺序，用get替换了come up with，故本空应填a tentative definition.
【设题处】倒装处设题(9) :
【线索词】consulting the dictionary 【定位处】Through the Dictionary下第二段首句和第四句
【解析】a better memory。本题的线索信息是consulting the dictionary，从而将题目出处定位到Though the Dictionary部分。该部分第二段首句提到：联系上下文(context)和由词根{word parts)推测两个步骤比查看字典上的解释更能激发学习者的兴趣；第四句提到这种高昂的兴
趣可以促使学习者更好地记住单词和词义。题干将这两句综合到了一起，答案即在后句中：a better memory。
【设题处】因果处设题(10) :
【线索词】money in the bank 【定位处】末段
【解析】the CPD Formula。本题的线索信息是money in the bank，从而将题目出处定位到文章末段。末段先是介绍了CPD Formula对词汇学习的实际益处(The exercise that follow will…)，最后又将其比喻成银行里的存款(The results will be like the money in the bank).题干中的benefits对应文中的results，be similar to对应be like，很明显空中应填the CPD Formula. 【设题处】对比处设题Part IV Reading Comprehension Reading in Depth (35 minutes) (1) :
【解析】选[M]。空前的定冠词the表明此处应填一名词。上句提到西方国家的结婚率持续上升，那么此句以美国为例列举其离婚率，one divorce for every two marriages提示此处应与“数据”有关。[M]statistics强调“统计数据，统计资料”，而[D]data却只强调简单而未经统计的数据，故答案为[M]。(2) :

【解析】选[O]。此句是说，妇女现在不能容忍男人把她们当作附属品，也就是说，妇女地位没有提高之前，是被当作男人的附属品的，那么根据推理，妇女现在是不能容忍这种情况，故答案为[O]less。[B]more为强干扰项。(6) :

【解析】选[K]。空前的定冠词the表明此处应填一名词。0n the grounds of意为“因为，由于”。此句意为：对于无可挽救的破碎的婚姻来说，离婚变得相对容易，故答案为[K]。(9) : 【解析】选[F]。空前的a及空后的effect表明此处应填一形容词。此句提到离婚对孩子的负面影响，[F]shocking(可怕的，过分的)和[L]destructive(破坏性的)修饰effect都是指负面的影响，而[L]destructive程度过重，可排除，故答案为[F]。(10) :
【解析】选[E]。此句中that引导的从句是真正的主语，为主语从句，而It为形式主语。0ne in four children表明此处描述的是美国离婚家庭的孩子的生活状况，那么这个数据应该是被“估计”的，故答案为[E]estimated。Part IV Reading Comprehension Reading in Depth (35 minutes)

【解析】选[C]。语义衔接题。由句意可知，所填词与marriage和decline形成语义场共现，[C]rate符合文意，表示二十世纪七十年代早期美国结婚率下降。(7) :B
【解析】选[B]。语义衔接题。本句的主、从句之间是对比关系。前一句讲到七十年代结婚率下降，故本句应该是结婚率上升了，比率的上升用increase。improve表示“改善，改进”。raise表示“上升，举起”，通常不与rate连用。(8) :A
【解析】选[A]。语义衔接题。由空后的remarry可知，主语应是离过婚的人，故选[A]。
[B]separated“分开的”；[C] isolated“孤立的”；[D]broken“破碎的”。(9) :D
【解析】选[D]。逻辑衔接题。空前的句子提到结婚率上升，空后的句子提到婚姻仍是大多数人所喜欢的生活方式，故前后两个句子之间是因果关系，只有[O]Thus构成因果关系，故为答案。(10) :A
【解析】选[A]。语义衔接题。上句提到比婚姻(marry)变化更大的是核心家庭，即小家庭(the nuclear family)。与此相比，在25年前由丈夫、妻子和两三个孩子组成的家庭应该是典型的美国家庭，故选[A]。[B]conservative“保守的”：[C]traditional“传统的”；[D]fashionable “时尚的”。(11) :D
【解析】选[D]。逻辑衔接题。前面提到25年前典型的美国家庭一般有两三个孩子，空后提到许多夫妻决定不要孩子，这是在拿过去和现在作对比，故[D]为答案。(12) :A
【解析】选[A]。语义衔接题。根据上下文可推知，许多家庭里至少有几个孩子是来自其父母以前的婚姻家庭，这里考查的是对at构成的短语的辨析。at least“至少”；at most“最多”；at best“至多”；at worst“最坏”，故[A]符合文意。(13) :C
【解析】选[C]。语义衔接题。根据上下文推测，该句是说许多孩子来自父母以前的婚姻家庭，故[C]previous“早先的，以前的”符合文意。[A]primitive“原始的，古老的”；[B]prior “优先的，在前的”；[D]preliminary“预备的，初步的”。(14) :D
【解析】选[D]。语义衔接题。该句中的these children指的是那些离婚家庭的孩子，他们所跟的父母应是原有婚姻中的一方，故答案为[D]former。(15) :B
【解析】选[B]。语义衔接题。由该空前边的分号可知该空前后的两个分句是并列关系，前一个分句中出现了some－times，后一个分句应该与其对应，也用sometimes，故选[B]。(16) :C 【解析】选[C]。语义衔接题。该空所在句与后面几个分句之间用分号隔开表明，它们之间是并列关系，介绍的都是家庭的类型。后面几个句子介绍的都是有孩子的家庭，并提到了孩子的来源。该句没有讲到孩子来自何处，故可知这里介绍的是没有孩子的家庭，故选[C]without。(17) :C
【解析】选[C]。语义衔接题。经分析可知这四个分句是按照孩子的情况由简单到复杂的顺序来排列的。上一句讲到没有孩子的家庭，后边两句讲到既有现在的婚姻中生的孩子，又有原来的婚姻中生的孩子的情况，依次递进。因此这里应该讲目前婚姻中生的孩子，故选[C]present。(18) :D
【解析】选[D]。语义衔接题。本段介绍在不同婚姻状态下孩子的情况，故[D]为答案。
[A]affection“感情”、[B] happiness“幸福”、[C]loves“爱情”均不符合文意。(19) :B
【解析】选[B]。语义衔接题。从文中所列举的多种婚姻状况来看，一个孩子有四个父母和八个祖父母的事情是不足为奇的，故选[B]unusual。(20) :A
【解析】选[A]。语义衔接题。从文章中所描述的现代婚姻的情况来看，现在的家庭和传统的核心家庭已经有了很大的变化，[A]enormous“巨大的，极大的”符合文意。[B]considerable“相当大的”，通常与不可数名词或amount之类表数量的词连用。[C]numerous“许多的，无数的”，通常指数量。[D]giant“巨大的”，一般用来修饰体积。Part ⅥTranslation (5 minute)
(1) :
【答案】Despite the wonderful acting/In spite of the wonderful acting
【解析】本题考查对despite和in spite of用法白勺掌握。“精妙的演技”与后面的well-developed plot(构思巧妙的情节)是由and连接的并列成分．由此可知，本句中的“尽管”不能用连词来表达，而只能用介词despite或介词短语in spite of。(2) :
【答案】the extent of the damage caused by the fire/the extent of the damage that the fu-e caused 【解析】本题考查对定语从句或过去分词作定语的掌握。表示“损害的程度”，一般用the extent of the damage；“火灾造成的”可以翻译成定语从句，也可以直接用过去分词作后置定语。(3) : 【答案】do the nurses want a pay increase
【解析】本题考查对倒装结构的掌握。含有否定意义的词或短语在句中作状语时，如位于句首，则其所在句要求部分倒装。本句中not only(不仅)明显含有否定意义，故其所在的句子需要部分倒装，应将助动词do提到主语the nurses之前.(4) :
【答案】otherwise we would have telephoned him
【解析】本题考查对虚拟语气的掌握。句中的0therwise?否则”是对前面所述事实的否定，实际上相当于一个与过去事实相反的虚拟条件句，即：If we had known his telephone number，因此后面句子应该采用相应的虚拟语气，谓语动词用would have done的形式。(5) :
【答案】had interrupted me that evening
【解析】本题考查对interrupt用法的掌握。interrupt意为“打断(某人)的讲话，打扰”，“打扰某人”可用interrupt sb．来表达：因为interrupt发生在本句中的动词was之前，所以用had interrupted。

2洛基英语，中国在线英语教育领导品牌 2007.12阅读第一篇 Passage One Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage. In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year. As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface. A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?”“No,”she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.” I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided”by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it. Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting (借用) my daughter’s experience. While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough a way to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices. 注意：此部分试题请*考试&大在答题卡2上作答。 57. What do we learn from the first paragraph? A) A lot of distractions compete for children’s time nowadays. B) Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities. C) Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time. D) Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing. 58. What did the author say about her own writing experience? A) She was constantly under pressure of writing more. B) Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers. C) She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer. D) Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations.

大学英语4级题型分析大全 第一部分：听力长对话 题型分析 听力长对话（Long Conversations）的长度一般在6-20句之间，字数在120-25 0字之间。针对每篇长对话的问题可能会有2-5个。与短对话相比，长对话涉及的内容更深入，人物态度，语气，情感变化更复杂，一般不能简单依赖某个关键词来判断整篇对话的含义。一人一句的短对话涉及的只是一个“点”，而长对话涉及的是一个“面”。短对话的答案一般是“显而易见”的，而长对话有时更依赖于推断和判断。尽管如此，长对话必然有一个中心议题，中心议题正是该“面”的凝聚点，对话双方都是围绕该中心而展开话题，对于长对话而言，做出正确选择的关键就是把握住对话的中心思想。 由于对话较多，长对话的场景就显得格外重要，准确判断对话的场景（situati on），对把握对话的中心思想是非常有帮助的。这里所谈到的场景，是指人物，身份或职业，议论的问题，时间，地点等等的综合概念。清晰的场景会在考生头脑中形成氛围，容易把握对话的发展脉络，使对话情节的发展更加顺理成章。 对长对话的题型分析，不易于采取诸如：“关键词，因果关系，But转折，情感，态度”等分类方法。根据多年的实践经验，依据场景的不同，对长对话进行分类，有助于考生对“面’的把握能力的提高。下面是对长对话经常涉及到的几种情况做了归类，主要分成三大类：学习相关类，生活相关类和工作相关类。顾名思义，学习相关类与学习有密切联系，比如：选课，考试，论文等；生活相关类主要涉及到家庭，校院生活，娱乐，运动等；生活相关类多是找工作，面试等题材。下面列举几个常用典型场景的题型。 学习相关类 学习相关类往往是长对话的重点。内容粗略可分为教务场景，选课场景，补课场景和论文场景等。 （1）教务场景 场景人物：由教师（导师）或学监等教务人员向学生说明一些学校课程的安排情况。 场景涉及内容：学期计划，调课信息，考试安排，课程介绍等。 解题思路：教务人员总是细致地描述各项事务的细节问题，时间，地点，计划推迟或变更的原因往往是考查的重点。 经常出现的问题和答案 Q: Who is the speaker?

如何合理分配英语四级考试各个题型所用的时间想要顺利通过英语四六级考试，平时积累是一方面，考试技巧在很大程度上也起着关键性因素。只有将平时掌握的知识合理而且巧妙的运用到考试中，才能达到事半功倍的效果。 其实这点相对来说是最重要的，因为你现在在考先很难再提高基本实力了，考试策略非常非常重要，大家首先要知道，四级考试8点45分左右可以入场，9点钟之后考生就不能再入场了，9点10分考试是正式开始，开始写作部分，这一点我把总的需要注意的地方说一下。写作部分一定要用黑色铅字笔答题，你用其他颜色的笔有可能万一扫描不出来，因为现在全是网上阅卷，可能会影响你的得分。写作部分是30分钟，这部分你是无法进行时间上和其他题型的调整，不过30分钟不能全写，六级写150字就够了，四级写120字就够了，大概写25分钟左右，尽量把你写的作文花个四、五分钟时间再检查一次。因为我发现很多同学如果再检查一遍的话这样对得分有很重要的影响。 写完作文之后从9点40分开始做快速阅读，这部分是15分钟，也就是9点55分结束，这个基本上也没有办法和后面的试题做策略上的调整，不过要提醒大家做快速阅读的时候一定不能把全文都看了，一定要根据后面的10个题目中的重点信息迅速定位原文，如果看不懂的地方就不要看了。这部分作文之后9点55分就收答题卡1了，这上面有作文和快速阅读。然后10点钟听力考试就开始了，从听力
考试开始大家注意策略上就比较重要了，因为我刚才也提到听力考试大概是35分钟时间左右，每次考试可能有一、两分钟的调整，前面三部分短对话、长对话和文章都是选择题，这一部分而且只放一遍，肯定要听一下，这个也不能调整顺序。但是到第四部分对大部分人来说很难得到分数，也就是最后一部分相当于10%的听写部分，这部分我建议大家稍微听一下，听一遍，或者一遍半，就是你把前面7到8个单词尽量写一下，这个单词听两遍，这个单词听完之后后面的句子其实对大部分人来说，虽然说它占6分左右，但是很难得到分数。所以说还不如把这部分时间至少省5到7、8分钟以上，把这部分省下的时间放在后面的阅读理解部分，这部分很重要。 大概从10点半左右开始，也就是说听力你如果省一部分时间出来的话，从10点半开始做15选10，然后是完型填空，然后是翻译，15选10做5到10分钟，不要作为重点，因为它只有5分，相当于5分，而且它比较难，你花大量时间也不一定能做对，这个时间自己可以算一下，最多不能超过10分钟。 完型填空做10分钟时间左右，不要超过10分钟。再其次是做翻译题型，翻译题型占5%，算在写作部分，这5道题目但是不要求你写全句，只要求写半句，这5道题花的时间也最多不能超过5分钟，合理的时间是在3到5分钟之内，翻译题型耽搁太多时间，迅速在3到5分钟左右做完，然后把这三个题型，15选10，完型填空，然后是翻
2019大学英语四级考试阅读专项练习(6) Passage 2 America's most famous woman is the Goddess of Liberty, i. e. the Statue of Liberty.

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .
