20##12月大学英语四级考试真题〔卷1〕答案与分析PartI. WritingThe Most Impressive Campus ActivityEvery university offers numerous kinds of activities to enrich students’extracurricular life. As one of the young college students, I have benefited a lot from all of these well-organized activities, but the one that has benefited me most is the debate petition which I took part in last year.That was a debate petition between different majors and the topic was about theoretical knowledge versus practices.

Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Eachstatement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph fromwhich the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Eachparagraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the correspondingletter on Answer Sheet 2.Ban sugary drinks--that will add fuel to the obesity war[A] On a train last Thursday, I sat opposite a man who was so fat he filled more than one seat. Hewas pale and disfigured and looked sick to death, which he probably was: obesity (肥胖症) leads tomany nasty ways of dying. Looking around the carriage, I saw quite a few people like him, includinga couple of fatty children with swollen cheeks pressing against their eyes. These people are part ofwhat is without exaggeration an epidemic (流行病) of obesity.[B] But it is quite unnecessary: there is a simple idea--far from new--that could spare millions of suchpeople a lifetime of chronic (长期病 ) ill health, and at the same time save the National HealthService (NHS) at least ￡14 billion a year in England and Wales. There would, you might think, beconsiderable public interest in it. This simple idea is that sugar is as good--or as bad--as poisonand should be avoided. It is pure, white and deadly, as Professor John Yudkin described it 40 yearsago in a revolutionary book of that name. The subtitle was How Sugar Is Killing Us.[C] In its countless hidden forms, in ready meals, junk food and sweet drinks, sugar leads to addiction(瘾), to hormonal upsets to the appetite, to metabolic (新陈代谢的) maffunctions and obesity andfrom there to type 2 d/abetes (糖尿病) and its many horrible complications, ff people really graspedthat, they would try to kick the habit, particularly as Britain is the "fat man of Europe". They mighteven feel driven to support government measures to prevent people from consuming this deadlystuff. Yet so far this idea has met little but resistance.[D] It is not difficult to imagine the vested interests (既得利益集团) lined up against any sugar control--all the food and drink manufacturers, processors, promoters and retailers who make such easypickings out of the magic powers of sugar. Then there are the liberals, with whom I would normallyside, who protest that government regulation would be yet another instance of interference in ourlives.[E] That is true, but people should realise that you cannot have a welfare state without a nanny state(保姆国家), to some degree. If we are all to be responsible for one another's health insurance,through socialised medicine, then' we are all closely involved in one another's health, includingeveryone's eating and drinking. That has already been admitted, finally, with smoking. But it has yetto be admittedwith overeating, even though one in four adults in this country is obese and thatnumber is predicted to double by the year 2050. Quite apart from anything else, obesity will cripplethe NHS.[F] Recently, though, there have been signs that the medical establishment is trying to sound the st month the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AMRC．published a report saying that obesity isthe greatest public health issue affecting the UK and urging government to do something.[G] The report offers 10 recommendations, of which the first is imposing a tax of20 percent on sugarydrinks for at least a year, on top of the existing 20 percent value-added tax. That at least would be'an excellent start. The amounts of sugar in soft drinks are horrifying, and turn straight to fat. AsProfessor Terence Stephenson, head of the AMRC, has said, sugary soft drinks are "the ultimate badfood. You are just consuming neat sugar. Your body didn't evolve to handle this kind of thing."[H] Precisely. The risks of eating too much fat or salt(which are very different) pale into insignificancecompared with the harm done by sugar. And it is everywhere.[I ] It is difficult to buy anything in a supermarket, other than plain, unprepared meat, fish or vegetables,that doesn't have a large amount of sugar in it. This has come about because the prevailingscientific views of the 1960s and 1970s ignored the evidence about sugar, and instead saw fat as thereally serious risk, both to the heart and other organs, as well as the cause of obesity.[J] The fashion was to avoid fat. But finding that food with much of its fat removed is not veryappetising, food producers turned to sugar as a magic alternative flavour enhancer, often in theforms of syrups (糖浆) that had recently been developed from corn, and put it generously into mostprepared foods and soft drinks.[K] This stuff is not just fattening. It is addictive. It interferes with the body's metabolism, possibly viathe activity of an appetite-controlling hormone. There's plenty of evidence for this, for those who willaccept the troth.[L] Theoretically, people ought to make"healthy choices" and avoid overeating. But sugar additives arenot easy to identify and are hard to avoid. So the snacking, over-drinldng and over-eating that makespeople fat is not really their own fault: obesity is in large part something that is being done tothem. It should be stopped, or rather the government should stop it.[M] Going round my local supermarket, I am constantly astonished that it is still legal to sell all thepoisons stacked high on the shelves. The problem is that they are worse than useless. They arepoisonous. They are known to be addictive. They are known to make people obese. And giving smallchildren sweet drinks or bottles of fake juice all day long is nothing less than child abuse.[N] Clearly, the sale of such stuff ought to be illegal. I hate to think of yet more government regulation,But a bit of tax on sweet soda and a little more health education, a bit of cooking in schools andbanning vending machines (自动售货机) here and there--as suggested by the AMRC report--is notgoing to achieve very much. Labelling is quite inadequate. What is needed is legislation banning highlevels of sugary syrups used in foods and drinks.[O] In June 2012, the then minister for public health said the government was not scared of the foodindustry and had not ruled out legislation, because of the costs of obesity to the NHS. However,nothing has happened yet. Why not have another Jammie Dodger biscuit and forget about it.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

When it comes to the classmate who has influenced me most in college, undoubtedly. Zhao Lei is the one who comes to my mind first. Zhao Lei is my roommate and my best friend.

In the past two years, I attended a couple of student societies such as mountain-climbing club andliterature society. The most beneficial activity I participated is attending English Comer. First, attending English Comer offers a great opportunity to draw my attention away from busy studies so that 1 can relax, since the Comer is held in a square.

Many of us have heard suggestions like these 27 by parents or others close to us. Such comments often seem quite reasonable.Why, then, should suggestions like these be taken with 28?The reason is they relate to decisions you should make. You are the one who must 29tiieir consequences.One of the worst reasons to follow a particular path in life is that other people want you to. Decisions that affect your life should be your decisions—decisions you make alter you，ve considered various 30 and chosen the path that suits you best.Making your own decisions does not mean that you should 31the suggestions of others.

Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter f or 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 36 to 45 are based on the foUowi吨 passage.One principle of taxation, called the benefits principle, states that people should pay taxes based on the benefits they receive from government services. This principle tries to make public goods similar to 36 goods. It seems reasonable that a person who often goes to the movies pays more in 37 for movie tickets than a person who rarefy goes. And 38 , a person who gets great benefit from a public good should pay more for it than a person who gets little benefit.The gasoline tax, for instance, is sometimes 39 using the benefits principle. In some states,40 from the gasoline tax are used to build and maintain roads. Because those who buy gasoline are the same people who use the roads, the gasoline tax might be viewed as a 41way to pay for this government service.The benefits principle can also be used to argue that wealthy citizens should pay higher taxes than poorer ones, 42 because the wealthy benefit more from public services. Consider, for example, the benefits of police protection from 43 •Citizens with much to protect get greater benefit from police than those with less to protect. Therefore,according to the benefits principle, the wealthy should 44 more than the poor to the cost of 45 the police force. The same argument can be used for many other public services, such as fire protection, national defense, and the court system.A) adapt I) providedB) contribute J) revenuesC) exerting K) similarlyD) expenses L) simplyE) fair M) theftF) justified N) totalG) maintaining0) wealthH) private：....ISection BDirections ：In this section，you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.

You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking thecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Growing Up ColoredA) You wouldn’t know Piedmont anymore—my Piedmont, I mean—the town in West Virginia where Ilearned to be a colored boy.B) The 1950s in Piedmont was a time to remember, or at least to me. People were always proud to befrom Piedmont—lying at the foot of a mountain, on the banks of the mighty Potomac. We knew God gave America no more beautiful location. I never knew colored people anywhere who were crazier about mountains and water, flowers and trees, fishing and hunting. For as long as anyone could remember, we could outhunt, outshoot, and outswim the white boys in the valley.C) The social structure of Piedmont was something we knew like the back of our hands. It was animmigrant town； white Piedmont was Italian and Irish, with a handful of wealthy W A SPs(盡格鲁撒 克逊裔的白人新教徒）on East Hampshire Street, and “ethnic”neighborhoods of working-class people everywhere else, colored and white.D) For as long as anyone can remember, Piedmont’s character has been completely bound up with theWestvaco paper m ill：its prosperous past and doubtM future. At first glance, the town is a typical-2014,12/ 4dyjng mill center. Many once beautiful buildings stand empty, evidencing a bygone time of spirit and pride. The big houses on East Hampshire Street are no longer proud, as they were when I wasa kid.E) Like the Italians and the Irish, most of the colored people migrated to Piedmont at the turn of the20th century to work at the paper m ill, wl^ch opened in 1888. All the colored men at the paper mill worked on “the platformM—loading paper into trucks until the craft unions were finally integrated m 1968. Loading is what Daddy did every working day of his life. Hiafs what almost eveiy colored grown-up I knew did.F) Colored people lived in three neighborhoods that were clearly separated. Welcome to the ColoredZone, a large stretched banner could have said. And it felt good in there, like walking around your house in bare feet and underwear, or snoring(打軒）right out loud on the couch in front of the T V—enveloped by the comforts of home, the warmth of those you love.G) Of course, the colored world was not so much a neighborhood as a condition of existence. Andthough our own world was seemingly self-contained, it impacted on the white world of Piedmont in almost eveiy direction. Certainly, the borders of our world seemed to be impacted on when some white man or woman showed up where he or she did not belong, such as at the black Legion Hall.Our space was violated when one of them showed up at a dance or a party. The rhythms would be off. The music would sound not quite right. Everybody would leave early.H) Before 1955，most white people were just shadowy presences in our world, vague figures of powerlike remote bosses at the mill or clerks at the bank. There were exceptions, of course, the white people who would come into our world in routine, everyday ways we all understood. Mr. Mail Man, Mr. Insurance Man, Mr. White-and-Qiocolate Milk Man, Mr. Landlord Man, Mr. Police Man：we called white people by their trade, like characters in a mysteiy play. Mr. Insurance Man would come by every other week to collect payments on college or death policies, sometimes 50 cents or less.I) “It，s no disgrace to be colored，” Hie black entertainer Bert Williams famously observed early in thecentury，“but it is awfully inconvenient ”For most of my childhood, we couldn’t eat in restaurants or sleep in hotels ? we couldn’t use certain bathrooms or ta y on clothes in stores. Mama insisted that we dress up when we went to shop. She was carefully dressed when she went to clothing stores ?and wore white pads called shields under her arms so her dress or blouse would show no sweat.“We’d like to tiy this on,，’ she’d say carefully, uttering her words precisely and properly. “We don7t buy clothes we can’t try on，”she，d say when they declined, and we’d walk out in Mama’s dignified (有尊严的）manner. She preferred to shop where we had an account and where everyone knew who she was.J) At the Cut-Rate Drug Store，no one colored was allowed to sit down at the counter or tables, with one exception：my father. I don’t know for certain why Carl Dadisman, the owner, wouldn’t stop Daddy from sitting down. But I believe it was in part because Daddy was so light-colored, and in part because, during his shift at the phone company, he picked up orders for food and coffee for the operators. Colored people were supposed to stand at the counter, get their food to go, and leave. Even when Young Doc Bess would set up the basketball team with free Cokes after one of many victories,the colored players had to stand around and drink out of p a q p e r cups while the white players and cheerleaders sat down in comfortable chairs and drank out of glasses.K) I couldn’t have been much older than five or as I sat with my father at the Cut-Rate one afternoon, e i\jo y in g ice cream. Mr. Wilson, a stony-faced Irishman, walked by. “Hello, Mr.Wilson,”my father said.“Hello, Geoi^e. ’’L) I was genuinely puzzled. Mr. Wilson must have confused my father with somebody else, but who?There weren’t any Georges among the colored people in Piedmont. “Why don’t you teli him your name, Daddy?”I asked loudly. “Your name isn't George. ”“He knows my name, boy,”my father said after a long pause. “He calls all colored people George. ”‘M) I knew we wouldn’t talk about it again； even at that age, I was given to understand that there were some subjects it didn’t do to worry to death about. Now that I have children, I realize that what distressed my father wasn’t so much the Mr. Wilsons of the world as the painful obligation to explain the racial facts of life to someone who hadn’t quite learned them yet. Maybe Mr. Wilson couldn’t hurt my father by calling him George；but I hurt him by asking to know why.46. The author felt as a boy that his life in a separated neighborhood was casual and cozy.47. There is every sign of decline at the paper mill now.48. One reason the author’s father could sit and eat at the drug store was that he didn’t look that dark.49. Piedmont was a town of immigrants from different parts of the world.50. In spite of the awful inconveniences caused by racial prejudice, the author's family managed to livea life of dignity.51. The author later realized he had caused great distress to his father by asking why he was wronglyaddressed.52. The author took pride in being from Piedmont because of its natural beauty.53. Colored people caiied white people by the business they did.54. Colored people who lived in Piedmont did heavy manual jobs a t the paper mill.55. The colored people felt uneasy at the presence of the whites in their neighborhoods.Section CDirections ：There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions o r i unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) ancD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnsweiSheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Children are a delight. They are our future. But sadly, hiring someone to take care of them w hil< you go to work is getting more e3q)ensive by the year.Earlier this month, it was reported that the cost of enrolling an infant or small kid at a childcare center rose 3%in 2012, faster than the overall cost of living. There are now large strips of the countr where daycare for an infant costs more than a tentii of the average married couplers income.This is not necessarily a new trend, but it is a somewhat puzzling one. The price of professions childcare has been rising since the 1980s. Yet during that time, pay for professional childcare worker has stood still. Actually caregivers make less today, in real terms, than they did in 1990. Considerini that labor costs are responsible for up to 80% of a daycare center’s expenses，one would expect fla wages to have meant flat prices.So who’s to blame for higher childcare costs?Childcare is a carefully regulated industry. States lay down rules about how many children e a c] employee is allowed to watch over, the space care centers need per child, and other minute details And the stricter the regulations,the higher the costs. If it has to hire a caregiver for every t w< children，it can’t really achieve any economies of scale on labor to save money when other expenses g<? e q p e n s e s .Massachusetup. In Massachusetts，where childcare centers must hire one teacher for every t hree infants, the price of care averaged more than $ 16,000 per year. In Mississippi, where centers m ust h ire one teacher for every five infants, the price of care averaged less than $ 5,000.Unfortunately, I don’t have all the daycare-center regulations handy. But I wouldn't be surprised if as the rules have become more elaborate, prices have risen. The tradeoff (交换）might be worth it in some cases ； after all, the health and safety of children should probably come before cheap service. But certainly , it doesn’t seem to be an accident that some of liie cheapest daycare available is in the least regulated South.56. What problem do parents of small kids have to face?A) The ever-rising childcare prices. C) The balance between work and family.B) The budgeting of family expenses. D) The selection of a good daycare center.57. What does the author feel puzzled about?A) Why the prices of childcare vary greatly from state to state.B) Why increased childcare prices have not led to better service.C) Why childcare workers, pay has not increased with the rising childcare costs.D) Why there is a severe shortage of childcare professionals in a number of states.58. What prevents childcare centers from saving money?A) Steady increase in labor costs. C) Lack of support from the state.B) Strict government regulations. D) High administrative e ^q p e 59. Why is the average cost of childcare in Mississippi much lower than in A) The overall quality of service is not as good.B) Payments for caregivers there are not as high.C) Living expenses there are comparatively low.D) Each teacher is allowed to care for more kids.60. What is the author’s view on daycare service?A) Caregivers should receive regular professional training.B) Less elaborate rules about childcare might lower costs.C) It is crucial to strike a balance between quality and costs.D) It is better for different states to leam from each other.P assage T w oQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Alex Pang’s amusing new book T h e Distraction Addiction addresses those of us who feel panic without a cellphone or computer. And that, he claims, is pretty much all of us. When we're not online, where we spend four months annually, we’re engaged in the stressful work of trying to get online.T h e Distraction Addiction is not framed as a self-help book. It’s a thoughtful examination of the dangers of our computing overdose and a historical overview of how technological advances change consciousness. A w professional futurist，Pang urges an approach which he calls “contemplative (沉思 的）confuting. ” He asks that you pay full attention to “ how your mind and body interact with computers and how your attention and creativity are influenced by technology. ”Pang’s first job is to free you from the common misconception that doing two things at once allows you to get more done. What is commonly called multitasking is, in fact, switch-tasking, and its harmM effects on productivity are well documented. Pang doesn’t advocate returning to a pre-Internet world. Instead，he asks you to “ take a more ecological (生态的）view of your relationships with technologies and look for ways devices or media may be making specific tasks easier or faster but at the same time making your work and life harder. ”T h e Distraction Addiction is particularly fascinating on how technologies have changed certainfields of labor 一often for the worse. For architects, computer-aided design has become essential but i some ways has cheapened the design process. As one architect puts it, a Architecture is first an foremost about thinking…and drawing is a more productive way of thinking” than computer-aide design. Somewhat less amusing are Pang’s solutions for kicking the Internet habit. He recommends th usual behavior-modification approaches, 'familiar to anyone who has completed a quit-smokiii program. Keep logs to study your online profile and decide what you can knock out, download program like Freedom that locks you out of your browser, or take a M digital Sabbath (安息日）” “Unless you，re a reporter or emeigency-department doctor, you’ll discover that your world doesn’t fa apart when you go offline. ”61. Alex Pang’s new book is aimed for readers who _______•A) find their work online too stressfulB) go online mainly for entertainmentC) are fearful about using the cellphone or computerD) can hardly tear themselves away from the Internet62. What does Alex Pang try to do in his new book?A) Offer advice on how to use the Internet effectively.B) Warn people of the possible dangers of Internet use.C) the trend of future technological development.D) e the influence of technology on the human mind.63. What is the common view on multitasking?A) It enables people to work more efficiently.B) It is in a way quite similar to switch-tasking.C) It makes people’s work and life even harder.D) It distracts people’s attention from useful work.64. What does the author think of computer-aided design?A) It considerably cuts down the cost of building design.B) It somewhat restrains architects, productive thinking.C) It is indispensable in architects’ work process.D) It can free architects from laborious drawing.65. What is Alex Pang’s recommendation for Internet users?A) They use the Internet as little as possible.B) They keep a record of their computer use time.C) They exercise self-control over their time online.D) They entertain themselves online on off-days only.Directions ： For this part，you are allowedto translate a passage from Chinese in 越来越多的中国年轻人正对旅游产生兴趣,这是近年来的新趋势。

2014年12月四级真题（第1套）第一套：Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.The rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history,comparable in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph. Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and can communicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere. But the Internet's tremendous impact has only just begun."Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political transformations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,"Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book, The New Digital Age.Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently lack Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the implications of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But ff the book has one major shortcoming, it's that the authors don't spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these sweeping changes.In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes--and more importantly predicts--how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades. They paint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and governments must deal with two realities,one physical, and one virtual.At the core of the book is the idea that"technology is neutral, but people aren't." By using this concept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs. pessimist dichotomy (对立观点) that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they're also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance (监视).注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

渐高分范文 精彩点评A Classmate Who Has Influenced Me Most in College ① Once upon a time, I was not so confident about my study and was subject to being pessimistic when confronted with frustrations. ② However, I found myself gradually changing as Tom, one of my classmates in college, strived to encourage me. ③ I really appreciate his help. ④ I used not to be good at English ； however, whenever I was confused about the teacher’s explanation, he always interpreted it to me in- an explicit way. Gradually, I found English not so difficult and made progress day by day. ⑤ In addition, it was Tom who kept guiding me how to live through all kinds of setbacks in life. ⑥ I’l l never forget the very day when I failed my speech contest and I was overwhelmed and ashamed.⑦ Tom told me that nobody can defeat a person if he is determined to stand upto every failure. ⑧With his encouragement, I regained confidence, realizing that optimism was always the key to success. ⑨ Thanks to Tom, I eventually learned the significance ofself-confidence and optimism. They not only serve as indispensable characteristics of personality but also will benefit people all his life.① ②通过描述那个曾经缺乏自信而且悲观的 “我”渐渐地有所改变引出文章主题——对 “我”影响最大的大学同学，他竭尽全力鼓励“我”。
