Zhusuan or the Chinese abacus, is finally listed as a UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage(联合国教科文组织世界非物质文化遗产)！
The Chinese abacus has a history of over 2,500 years. In the past, people used it to do math and calculate numbers. However, as digital(数码的) calculators come out, fewer and fewer people use abacuses in their everyday life. Only few people in the rural areas still use abacuses. Once, lessons on teaching primary school students how to use abacuses were canceled in 2001. But abacus lessons may return to the schools again!
Now, the Chinese abacus has become an important cultural symbol rather than a calculating tool. And it may return to the schools’ teaching plans. Do you know that when scientists created China’s first nuclear bomb(原子弹）, they only used abacuses to solve math problems and calculate all the numbers! Wasn’t that amazing?
Most people believe learning how to use the Chinese abacus can help more and more young children better understand their own culture.
( )41. According to the passage, Zhusuan and the Chinese abacus are both listed as
a UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage.
( )42. More than 2,500 years ago, the ancient Chinese people invented the Chinese abacus.
( )43. Many Chinese students are still using the Chinese abacus as a calculating tool
today.
( )44. China’s first nuclear bomb was created by Chinese scientists who made use of calculators to solve math problems.
( )45. To learn how to use the Chinese abacus is the way to know more about our Chinese culture.

Williams was known as “Harvard girl” when she came into Jefferson High School 18 months ago. She was really hard-working. She dreamed of being a Harvard student. What students don’t know is that she is a homeless girl.
As long as she can remember, Williams has floated(漂泊) from shelters（收容所）to motels（汽车旅馆）with her mother and sister. She has attended 12 schools in 12 years and lived out of garbage bags. Every morning, she had to make sure she didn’t smell before going to school. On the streets, she learned how to find a meal and choose
a safe place to sleep. These are all survival(生存) skills she must learn. But she never wanted other students to know her secret. “I was so proud of being smart. I never wanted people to say,‘You got the easy way out because you are homeless,’”she said. “I never saw it as an excuse.”
Williams graduated on Friday evening with high honors, first in her class. She was accepted by more than 20 universities, including Brown and Columbia. She chose
a full scholarship(奖学金) to Harvard.
In the past six months, Williams has seen her mother only a few times. She looked
for her mother and finally found her in a shelter in Los Angles, sitting on a garbage
bag full of clothes. Proudly, Williams told everything to her mother. Her mother’s face looked brighter. “Look at you,” her mother said. “You’re really going to Harvard, huh?’
“Yeah,” she says. “I’m going to Harvard.”

work.
D. Because she knew everybody would look down upon her.

Qu Wanting was born in Harbin, Heilongjiang. During the past few months, her name
and songs have spread quickly in almost every corner of China. You would be considered totally “out” if you have never heard of her song You Exist in My Song(《你在我
的歌声里》).
At only 16, Qu Wanting left home and went to Canada to study business, starting her life in a foreign country alone. It wasn’t long before she realized that her true talent was in music. She went on to het her degree, but also tried to write songs. She took part-time jobs to make a living, but never gave up her dream of being a musician. In 2009, she became the first Chinese artist signed to the Nettwork, a famous Canadian music company.
In 2011, after hearing the songs she wrote and recorded, the well-known Chinese composer(作曲家)Zhang Yadong got in touch with the young artist. And he expressed the desire to work with her. She agreed. Wanting’s special voice and ability to bring out the simplest and purest beauty of piano and guitar are at the base of her success, yet what truly makes her outstanding(杰出的) is the strength and courage.
With all the successes she has gained, Wanting is recording her first English album(唱片).

A TV program has become popular in China recently. It has made people all over China become interested in writing Chinese characters.
The increasing use of computers and smart phones has left most young people hardly able to write by hand. Many of them are even unable to remember the 10,000 characters(汉字) used in daily life without electronic(电子的) help.
CCTV Started the Chinese Character Dictation Competition to improve the population’s handwriting skills. Contestants(参与者) on the show were school pupils, but it was found that 70％of adults in the audience were unable to remember how to write the word “chan chu”.
Because computers allow people to type characters simply by entering pinyin, they
don’t need to remember how to write them. “The keyboard age has had a big influence on the handwriting of Chinese characters,”Guan Zhengwen, who designed and directed the show, said. “The influence of technology on people’s writing habits is irreversible. There is nothing we can do about it.”However, he added that he hoped to encourage people to keep it alive as an art form.
Educated young Chinese know that they have forgotten how to write all but the most common Chinese words. “I usually write very slowly,”Zang Xiaosong, 29, a newspaper reporter from Nanjing said. “Most of the time, it seems the characters are somewhere in my head, and it’s just that I can’t remember how to write them.” Sometimes I use a computer to help me remember them.”
Hao Mingjian, an editor of a magazine putting his heart into Chinese characters, said, “Learning Chinese characters goes on throughout your life. If you stop using them for a long time, it is likely that you will forget them.”
52. CCTV started the Chinese Character Dictation Competition to _____.
A. get more money
B. become famous
C. improve people’s handwriting skills
D. attract more people to watch it.
53. Contestants on the show were _____.
A. pupils
B. teachers
C. parents
D. workers
54.The underlined word “irreversible”, means “_____” in Chinese.
A. 不可逆转的
B. 不可理解的
C. 不可饶恕的
D. 不可遵守的
55. What can you learn from the passage?
A. Hao Mingjian is 29 years old and works in a school.
B. Zang Xiaosong designed and directed the Chinese character Dictation Competion.
C. Most of the adults in the audience were able to write common Chinese words.
D. Computers have a big influence on the handwriting of Chinese characters.

Ⅷ. 短文填空（共10小题，计10分）
As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as 61 the Nobel Prize. Or they can be small. You just want to become one of the top ten 62 in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to
make your dream 63 ?
Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge.
You may think you’re not very 64 at some school subjects or you can hardly become a writer. These kinds of 65 prevent you from reaching your dream, the book says. In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember the dream in your mind. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep 66 yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is 67 up of many small ones. Please never give 68 up.
There will be difficulties 69 the way to your dreams. 70 the biggest one comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
VIII. 任务型阅读: 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。（共5小题，计10分）Are you a tourist or a traveler?
Now, more and more people are taking time off their busy city life going on a journey. Some even consider travel as a kind of competition. They go to some places that nobody goes to. They eat strange food which most people cannot stand. And they choose to call themselves “travelers” instead of “tourists.”
As a travel writer, I’m thinking about people’s travel habits, and I’d rather divide people into such groups as “relaxers” and “explorers.”
“Relaxers travel just to relax. They don’t want food they can’t eat and people who can’t understand them. They work hard at home. On holidays, they want to have fun. So they go sightseeing and live into hotels. They go to places where bedbugs （臭虫)don’t bite, crowds don’t push, and everything looks clean and easy.
Explorers（探险者), however, will give up some of that relaxation(放松)to get some interesting experiences---something that they haven’t seen before. They’ll live in dirty rooms that are booked at the last minute and eat strange food that no one can explain.
Everyone will have their preference(偏爱). One is not better than the other. I’m mostly an explorer. Relaxation is fine, but I get bored easily. I don’t think that is a better way to travel than going and lying on a beach. It’s just different.
Travelers, however, might disagree.
71. What do some people today think of traveling?
Nowadays, traveling is even regarded as by some people.
72. How does the writer divide people who like traveling?
The writer like to divide people into two groups, and .
73.Why do relaxers go traveling?
Because they .
74.What do explorers go traveling for?
They go traveling for .
75. What do you think is the best title of the text?

II. 听短文，选答案（共5小题，计10分）
本题你将听到一篇短文，读两遍，请从每个小题的三个选项中，选出一个正确答案。
Recently, the haze weather has happened to many cities in the north of China. It brought people so much trouble. For example, the haze weather made people cough. More accidents were caused because drivers couldn’t see clearly in such haze weather. Outdoor activities in the haze weather were not good for people’s health, so schools had to stop PE classes.
I think we must do something to avoid this kind of weather. We should use public
transportation more. We can choose to walk or ride bikes instead of driving cars. Planting more trees is necessary, too. If we make less pollution, we will have a better world to live in.

But there have been times when snow has looked red, green, yellow, or black. There have been snowflakes of almost every color. Think how it would seem to have colored snowflakes coming down all around you. Black snow fell in France one year. Another year grey snow fell in Japan. It was found that the snow was mixed with ashes. his made it look dark. Red snow had come down in other countries. When this happened, the snow was mixed with red dust. Most snow looks white, but it is really the color of ice. Snow is ice that comes from snow cloud. Each snowflake begins with a small drop of frozen water. More water forms around this drop. The way the water freezes gives the snowflakes its shape. No two snowflakes are ever just the same size or shape. Sometimes the snowflakes are broken when they come down. Other snowflakes melt as they fall. All snowflakes are flat and have six
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
