四级模拟试卷(二)答案Part I WritingShould Smoking Be Completely Banned?Some people maintain that smoking should be completely banned. In their opinions, smoking is harmful not only to the smokers but also to the people around. Moreover, smoking is a waste of money. When one smokes a cigarette, he/she is actually burning money.Other people do not agree. They believe that smoking helps to sharpen one’s mind and prevents one from sleeping. And smoking does not seem to shorten one‟s life since many people who smoke live a long life. Also the government gets a lot of money from cigarette taxes.In my view, everyone has the right to choose his/her own way of life, but one does not have the right to impose his/her way of life on other people. So smoking in public places should be banned but in some areas it can be allowed.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1. B)。

Currently over 15% of young people over 6 years old are obese, and obesity is also increasing among children aged 5 and younger.Children are considered to be overweight if the BMI (Body Mass Index) is over 85% of the weight group in their age and sex categories. If it is 95% and over, they are considered to be obese. Adolescents are generally judged according to adult criteria for obesity, although there are other considerations in this population. Ethnic variations, timing of growth spurts, and higher normal fat levels around puberty can cause disparities in these measurements.Causes and Risk Factors for Obesity in ChildrenLifestyle Factors. Without educational or parental guidance, children are extremely vulnerable to the intense cultural pressures that are largely responsible for the obesity epidemic. Neither the media nor the educational system has strong well-financed programs that encourage healthy-alternatives, including exercise and healthy foods. The following are some specific problems created by the culture:* Excessive television watching plays a critical role in obesity in children. Not only is it a sedentary activity, but television also offers innumerable temptations with its advertisements for fast foods, sugar cereals, and unhealthy snacks. In one study obesityrates were lowest in children who watched television one hour or less a day and highest in those who watched four or more hours.* Sugar, particularly from soda, other sweetened beverages, and fruit juice, may be major contributors to childhood obesity. One study reported that drinking soda regularly increases a child’s risk for obesity by 60%.* Less physical exercise and greater sedentary activities play another significant role in obesity in children. A high level of physical, activity—not just using up energy—is important for weight control in young people.Family History. Parental obesity more than doubles the risk that a young child, whether thin or overweight, will become obese as an adult. In older children and teenagers, obesity in parents starts to count less as a predictor for body weight than their own weight. The risk may be due to environmental or genetic factors, or both.Ethnic and Socioeconomic Factors. As in adult populations, children from lower socioeconomic groups and minority populations are at higher risk for obesity. For example, among young Mexican Americans and African Americans, there has been an increase in overweight prevalence of about 13% to over 23%.Factors Surrounding Birth. The following factors surrounding birth are associated with a child’s weight:* Low birth weight is a risk factor for later obesity and diabetes. One theory is that humans have a “thrifty gene” that produces metabolic changes in infants with low birth weight. Such changes affect insulin and fat accumulation in order to produce a “catch-up”weight in these young children as quickly as possible. This rapid weight gain in infancy increases the gain risk for obesity in children and also in young adulthood.* In a study of African American children, having an overweight pregnant mother increased the risk for later weight gain, but low birth weight did not.Although some small studies have reported protection against obesity from breastfeeding, evidence is weak. In a 2003 study, for example, children who were breast fed for three to five months had a lower risk for obesity, but prolonged breastfeeding had no effect. Nevertheless, given the healthful effects of breast feeding and the possibility that it may have even a slight impact on childhood obesity, it is highly recommended.Health Consequences of Childhood ObesityChildren and adolescents who are obese have poorer health than other children. Studies are reporting unhealthy cholesterol levels and high blood pressure in obese children and adolescents. Of great concern is the dramatic increase in type 2 diabetes in young people, which is most certainly largely due to the increase in obesity. Obesity in children is also linked to asthma, gallbladder problems, sleep apnea, and liver abnormalities. Childhood obesity may be partly responsible for the declining age for onset of puberty in girls, with subsequent risks for breast cancer.It is not clear yet how many of these childhood problems persist in people who achieve normal weight as adults. Staying overweight into adulthood certainly confers health risks.Managing Overweight and Obese ChildrenChildhood obesity is best treated by a non-drug, multidisciplinary approach including diet, behavior modification, and exercise. Some evidence suggests that reducing calories by only 200 to 260 per day would prevent weight gain in most overweight children. Here some tips for children who are overweight:* Limit or avoid if possible take-out, fast foods, high-sugar snacks, commercial packaged snacks, soda and sugar sweetened beverages (including too much juice).* Let children snack but make sure the snacks are healthy. Eating small frequent healthy meals (instead of two or three large ones) has been associated with being thinner and having a better cholesterol profile.* Let children choose their own food portions. One study indicated that children naturally ate 25% less than they chose their own portion size. When they were given larger portions their bite sizes were larger and they ate more.* Don’t criticize a child for being overweight. It does not help and such attitud es could put children at risk for eating disorders, which are equal or even greater dangers to health.* Limit television, video games, and computer use to a few hours a week. This can contribute significantly to weight control, regardless of diet and physical activity.* For young children, try the traffic-light diet. Food is designated with stoplight colors depending on their high caloric content: Green for go (low calories); yellow for “eat with caution” (medium calories); red for “stop” (high calori es).* Try a low-glycemic index diet. This may be as beneficial and possibly more than a standard reduced-fat diet in obese children. Such a diet focuses on carbohydrates, suchas dried beans and soy, that raise blood sugar more slowly than others. This diet is sometimes used in diabetes and as a dietary approach in overweight adults.1. Overweight children are those whose BMI is over 85% of the weight group in their age and sex categories.2. The educational system is positive in promoting exercise and healthy foods, according to the passage.3. It is observed that children watching television one hour or less a day tend to be less likely to suffer from obesity.4. The intake of sugar among children is an important contributor to childhood obesity.5. In most cases, obese children tend to have parents suffering obesity, as environmental or genetic factors are the major reasons for childhood obesity.6. Infants with low birth weight may face a risk for obesity as they grow up into childhood and young adulthood.7. For obese children, achieving a healthy weight becomes more difficult as they get older, as the persistence is biological.8. Obese children and adolescents have poorer health, as they are reported to have unhealthy .9. It is suggested that reducing calories would prevent weight gain in most overweight children.10. The author believes that it does not help to criticize children for being overweight, as this may increase the risk for .Part ⅢListening Comprehension(35 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

That was when there were 50 in plenty and the fields were the traditional “fields of the woods” —clearings in the forest—and therefore always tree 51 .It is the trees that lift the water and send 52 into the air so that it may fall as dew or rain further on. Trees reduce the speed of the wind, and provide shelter and shade; the roots 53 minerals in the soil and these are carried to the leaves which, when they have fulfilled their function, return to the earth, giving the soil the combination of minerals that plants require.But through the ages Africa has been 54 . Successive invaders have felled the forest to provide grazing lands for their flocks and herds.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.No one knows when the first calendar was developed. But it seems possible that it was based on lunar months. When people started farming, the sages of the tribes became very important, they studied the sky and gathered enough information to be able to predict when the seasons would change, and were able to announce when it was time to plant crops.The divisions of time we use today were developed in ancient Babylonia 4,000 years ago.Babylonian astronomers believed the sun moved around the Earth every 365 days.They divided the trip into 12 equal parts, each with 30 days. Then they divided each day into 24 equal parts, or hours, and divided each hour into 60 minutes, each minute into 60 seconds.Humans have used many devices to measure time; the sundial (日晷) was one of the earliest and simplest. However, the sundial worked well only when the weather was fine, so other ways of measuring the passing of time were invented. One device was the hourglass(沙漏). By the eighteenth century, people had developed mechanical clocks and watches. So we have devices to mark the passing of time, but what time is it now? Clocksin different parts of the world do not show the same time at the same time, because time on Earth is set by the sun’s positions in the sky above us. As international communications and travel grew, it became clear that a way to establish a common time for all parts of the world was needed. In 1884, an international conference divided the world into 24 time zones, each zone represents one hour. The astronomical observatory in Greenwich, England, was chosen as the starting point for the time zones. Twelve zones are west of Greenwich. Twelve are east. The time at Greenwich measured by the sun is considered by astronomers to be Universal Time, also known as Greenwich Mean Time.57. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A) The Development of Universal Time.B) Different Ways to Measure Time.C) Why We Measure Time the Way We do.D) How the Calendar Came into being.58. What does the example of Babylonia astronomers reveal?A) It reveals Babylonians’wisdom that was absent elsewhere.B) It reveals the origin of our time measurements.C) It reveals the limits of some time measurements.D) It reveals the stability of time measurements.59. The author mentions all of the following ways to measure time EXCEPT .A) sundial B) hourglass C) electric clock D) mechanical clock60. According to the passage, Greenwich Mean Time .A) provides a common time for all parts of the worldB) is calculated from the sunC) is the 12th of the 24 time zonesD) was named after an international conference61. With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?A) Time measurements have changed in response to need and technological development.B) In ancient Babylonia, 12 was the basic division of time.C) The first calendar was developed because the sages of tribes were intelligent.D) Universal Time is so named because it is applicable throughout the universe. Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.For many years, scientists couldn’t figure out how atoms and molecules on the Earth combined to make living things. Plants, fish, dinosaurs, and people are made of atoms and molecules, but they are put together in a more complicated way than the molecules inthe primitive ocean. What’s more, living thi ngs have energy and can reproduce, while the chemicals on the Earth 4 billion years ago were lifeless.After years of study, scientists figured out that living things, including human bodies, are basically made of amino acids and nucleotide bases. These are molecules with millions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms. How could such complicated molecules have been formed in the primitive soup? Scientists were stumped.Then, in 1953, two scientists named Harold Urey and Stanley L. Miller did a very simple experiment to find out what had happened on the Primitive Earth. They set up some tubes and bottles in a closed loop, and put in some of the same gases that were present in the atmosphere 4 billion years ago: water vapor, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen.Then they shot an electric spark through the gases to simulate bolts of lightning on the ancient Earth, circulated the gases through some water, sent them back for more sparks, and so on. After seven days, the water that the gases had been bubbling through had turned brown. Some new chemicals were dissolved in it. When Miller and Urey analyzed the liquid, they found that it contained amino acids—the very kind of molecules found in all living things.62. When did scientists come to realize how the atoms and molecules on the Earth combined to make living thing?A) 4 billion years ago. B) In 1953.C) After seven days. D) Many years later.63. Scientists figured out that human bodies are basically made of .A) amino acidsB) moleculesC) hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen atomsD) water vapor, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen64. Harold Urey and Stanley ler did their experiment in order to .A) find out what had happened on the Earth 4 billion years agoB) simulate bolts of lightning on the ancient EarthC) dissolve some new chemicalsD) analyze a liquid65.

According to the writer, living things on the Earth include .A) atoms and molecules B) chemicalsC) plants, fish, dinosaurs and human beings D) the primitive soup Part ⅤCloze(15 minutes)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Some have sufficient faith that the paid holidays will improve the current tourism pattern. The new holiday scheme will give people more choices to make their holiday plans and thus it will greatly alleviate the pressure of transportation departments, security bodies, shopping malls,ect. during the current holiday boom.Other people wonder if the new system will be available. It is likely to be a dream to have a paid holiday. Because the problem is that many people don’t dare to take long vacations. Competition is fierce. Nobody can afford a long holiday and leave the boss with an impression of not working as hard as others.For me, I think it is necessary for, in future, the state to issue a regulation concerning Chinese workers-paid holidays. Stregthen the employers’ sense of the pai d holidays. If they did so voluntarily, it will attract and retain employees. With these measures, it is expected that more employees in China are entitled to receive holiday pay for time off.Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1. Y 细节题根据信号词“BMI, 85%”寻读到第二段第一句。

But with lots of money.When you think of “millionaire”, what image comes to yo ur mind? For many of us, it?s a flashy Wall Street banker type who flies a private jet, collects cars and lives the kind of decadent lifestyle that would make Donald Trump proud.But many modern millionaires live in middle-class neighborhoods, work full-time and shop in discount stores like the rest of us. What motivatesthem isn?t material possessions but the choices that money can bring. “For the rich, it?s not about getting more stuff. It?s about having the freedom to make almost any decision you want,” says T. Harv Eker, author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind.Wealth means you can send your child to any school or quit a job you don?t like.According to the Spectrem Wealth Study, an annual survey of America?s wealthy, there are more people living the good life than ever before — the number of millionaires nearly doubled in the last decade. And the rich are getting richer. T o make it onto the Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans, a mere billionaire no longer makes the cut. This year you needed a net worth of at least $1.3 billion.If more people are getting richer than ever, why shouldn?t you be one of them? Here are the secrets revealed by the people who have at least a million dollars in liquid assets.1. Set your sights on where you?re goingTwenty years ago, Jeff Harris hardly seemed on the road to wealth. He was a college dropout who struggled to support his wife, DeAnn, and three kids, working as a grocery store clerk and at a junkyard where he melted scrap metal alongside convicts (囚犯). “At times we were so broke that we washed our cloth es in the bathtub because we couldn?t afford the Laundromat.” Now he?s a 49-year-old investment advisor and multimillionaire in York, South Carolina.There was one big reason Jeff pulled ahead of the pack: He always knew he?d be rich. The reality is that 80 percent of Americans worth at least $5 million grew up in middle-class or lesser households, just like Jeff. Wanting to be wealthy is a crucial first step. Eker says, “The biggest obstacle to wealth is fear. People are afraid to think big, but if you think small, you?ll only achieve small things.”It all started for Jeff when he met a stockbroker at a Christmas party. “Talking to him, it felt like discovering fire,” hesays. “I started reading books about investing during my breaks at the grocery store, and I began putting $25 a month in a mutual fund.” Next he taught a class at a local community college on investing. His students became his first clients, which led to his investment practice. “There were lots of struggles,” says Jeff, “but what got me thr ough it was believing with all my heart thatI would succeed.”2. Educate yourselfWhen Steve Maxwell graduated from college, he had an engineering degree and a high-tech job —but he couldn?t balance his checkbook. “I took one finance class in college but dropped it to go on a ski trip,” says the 45-year-old father of three, who lives in Windsor, Colorado. “I actually had to go to my bank and ask them to teach me how to read my statement (结算单).”One of the biggest obstacles to making money is not understanding it:Thousands of us avoid investing because we just don?t get it. But to make money, you must be financially literate. “It bothered me that I didn?t understand this stuff,” says Steve, “so I read books and magazines about money management and investing, and I asked every financial whiz (高手) I knew to explain things to me.”He and his wife started applying the lessons: They made a point to live below their means. They never bought on impulse, always negotiated better deals (on their cars, cable bills, furniture) and stayed in their home long after they could afford a more expensive one. They also put 20 percent of their annual salary into investments.Within ten years, they were millionaires, and people werecoming to Steve for advice. “Someone would say,…I need to refinance my house —what should I do?? A lot of times, I wouldn?t know the answer, but I?d go find it and learn something in the process,” he says.In 2003, Steve quit his job to become part owner of a company that holds personal finance seminars for employees of corporations like Wal-Mart. He also started going to real estate investment seminars, and it?s paid off: He now owns $30 million worth of investment properties, including apartment complexes, a shopping mall and a quarry.“I was an engi neer who never thought this life was possible, but all it truly takes is a little self-education,” says Steve. “You can do anything once you understand the basics.”3. Passion pays offIn 1995, Jill Blashack Strahan and her husband were barely making ends meet. Like so many of us, Jill was eager to discover her purpose, so she splurged on a session with a life coach. “When I told her my goal was to make $30,000 a year, she said I was setting the bar too low. I needed to focus on my passion, not on the paych eck.”Jill, who lives with her son in Alexandria, Minnesota, owned a gift basket company and earned just $15,000 a year. She noticed when she let potential buyers taste the food items, the baskets sold like crazy. Jill thought, Why not sell the food directly to customers in a fun setting? With $6,000 in savings, a bank loan and a friend?s investment, Jill started packaging gourmet foods in a backyard shed and selling them at taste-testin g parties. It wasn?t easy. “I remember sitting outside one day, thinki ng we were three months behind on our house payment, I had two employees I couldn?t pay, and I ought to get a real job. But thenI thought, No, this is your dream. Recommit and get to wo rk.”She stuck with it, even after her husband died three years later. “I live by the law of abundance, meaning that even when there are challenges in life, I look for the win-win,” she says.The positive attitude worked: Jill?s backyard company, Tastefull y Simple, is now a direct-sales business, with $120 million in sales last year.

四级模拟测试二答案Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)【全文翻译】我们都是太空游客。
但是直到如今,我们仍然离家很近。
总有一天,我们会离开我们的“母亲船”——地球——在一些星球上安家落户。
现在,一个直径大约8,000英里的巨大球形“宇宙飞船”正飞驰在太阳系中。
其巡航速度简直不可思议,每小时达66,600英里。
它不是《星球大战》中的母亲船这样的庞然大物,而是地球这艘太空船,上面载有40亿人。
这艘由水覆盖的太空飞船一直在宇宙中遨游了大约50亿年。
然而,就在过去的25年里,有一些乘客摆脱了地球的重力。
今后25年,许多人,包括你,可能会生活在一个距离地球200英里的轨道空间站上。
空间城市科学家们已经设计出特殊的空间工厂。
这些工厂将充分利用无重力(零重力状态)来制造从挽救生命的药物到完美的滚珠轴承的任何东西。
其他科学家也设计出拥有农场、学校和人造昼夜的太空居民区。
成百上千、甚至成千上万的人将会在这些远离地球的太空居民区生活、工作和玩耍。
当然我们对太空的征服已经开始了。
我们已经登上了月球,把机器人宇宙飞船送上了金星和火星,展开了对木星和土星的空间探测。
去年6月,先锋10号机器人飞船飞出了太阳系,苏联和美国的宇航员也居住在了空间站。
毫无疑问,征服太空是人类着手进行的最伟大的历险之一,但它远不止是一个伟大的历险。
科学家们认为,征服太空可能是人类生存的需要。
为了获得工业原料,我们对地球造成越来越多的破坏。
在生产我们所需或想要的产品时,我们污染了空气和水。
几乎所有一切看起来使我们的生活更舒适的东西,从电能到杀虫剂,都部分地消耗或改变了地球的自然环境。
为什么要进入太空?我们的太阳系资源丰富。
月球上储藏着大量的贵重金属,位于火星和木星之间的大多数小行星也如此。
这些小行星类似行星,围绕着太阳旋转,体积小、岩石多。
如果我们能获得这些金属,可以用它们来制造工厂和空间站。
最新大学英语四级考试全真模拟试题二和答案Part ⅣReading Comprehension(Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)Section ADirections: 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 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.A coeducational(男女合校的) school offers children nothing less than a tree version of society in miniature(缩影). Boys and girls are given the 47 to get to know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a position where they can compare themselves with each other in terms of 48 ability, athletic achievement and many of the extracurricular activities which are part of school life. What a practical 49 it is (to give just a small example) to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! What nonsense coeducation makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girls or vice versa. When 50 , boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its 51 place.The greatest contribution of coeducation is 52 the healthy attitude to life it encourages. Boys don’t grow up believing that women are 53 creatures. Girls don’t grow up imagining that men are romantic heroes. Years of living together at school remove illusions of this kind. The awkward stage of adolescence brings into sharp focus some of the physical and 54 problems involved in growing up. These can better be 55 in a coeducational environment. When the time comes for the pupils to leave school, they are fully prepared to 56 society as well-adjusted adults. They have already had years of experience in coping with many of the problems that face men and women. A)advantageB)properC)rewardedD)emotionalE)opportunityF)activityG)overcomeH)academicI)enterJ)mysteriousK)eventuallyL)segregatedM)undoubtedlyN)principleO)advocateSection BDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished 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 center.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Romantic love is a culture trait found primarily in industrialized societies. Elsewhere in the world, pragmatic considerations rather than flights of fancy are often used to make a choice of partner, and romantic love is seen as an unfortunate inconvenience that gets in the way of the ordinary, rational process of mate selection. Traces of this attitude persist in the American upper classes, where daughters are expected to marry “well”-----that is, to a male who is eligible by reason of family background and earning potential. Most Americans, however, see romantic love as essential for a successful marriage, and tend to look askance(轻蔑地)at anyone who marries for a more practical reason in which love plays no part.The phenomenon of romantic love occurs when two young people meet and find one another personally and physically attractive. They become mutually absorbed, start to behave in what appears to be a flighty(充满幻想的), even irrational manner, decide that they are right for one another, and may then enter a marriage whose success is expected to be guaranteed by their enduring love. Behavior of this kind is portrayed and warmly endorsed(赞同)throughout American popular culture, by books, magazines, comics, records, popular songs, movies, and TV. Romantic love is a noble ideal, and it can certainly provide a basis for the spouses to “live happily ever after.” But a marriage can equally well be founded on much more practical considerations”----as indeed they have been in most societies throughout most of history. Why is romantic love of such importance in the modern world? The reason seems to be that it has some basic functions in maintaining the institution of the nuclear family(小家庭).57. Romantic love is less frequently found in many non-industrial societies because people in these societies_______.A ) firmly believe that only money can make the world go roundB ) fail to bring the imaginative power of the mind into full playC ) fondly think that flights of fancy prevent them from making a correct choice of partnerD ) have far more practical considerations to determine who will marry whom58. The word eligible (in Line5, Para. l), could best be replaced by ____.A ) qualifiedB ) availableC ) chosenD ) influential59. According to the passage, most Americans _____.A) expect their daughters to fall in love with a male at first sightB) regard romantic love as the basis for a successful marriageC) look up to those who marry for the sake of wealthD) consider romantic love to be the most desirable thing in the world60. What can we learn from the second paragraph about romantic love?A) It is a common occurrence among the old.B) It is primarily depicted by books.C) It is characterized by mutual attraction and absorption.D) It is rejected as flighty and irrational.61. The author seems to believe that ___________A) romantic love makes people unable to think clearly in the process of mate selectionB) only romantic love can make a marriage happy ever afterC) much more practical considerations can also be the basis for a successful marriageD) romantic love plays an insignificant role in maintaining the institution of the nuclear family Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.The French word renaissance means rebirth. It was first used in 1855 by the historian Jules Michelet in his History of France, then adopted by historians of culture, by art historians, and eventually by music historians, all of whom applied it to European culture during the 150 years spanning 1450-1600. The concept of rebirth was appropriate to this period of European history because of the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout Europe. Scholars and artists of this period wanted to restore the learning and ideals of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome. To these scholars this meant a return to human. Fulfillment in life became a desirable goal, and expressing the entire range of human emotions and enjoying the pleasures of the senses were no longer frowned on. Artists and writers now turned to religious subject matter and sought to make their works understandable and appealing.These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance period --- how people thought about music as well as the way music was composed and experienced. They could see the architectural monuments, sculptures, plays, and poems that were being rediscovered, but they could not actually hear ancient music --- although they could read the writings of classical philosophers, poets, essayists, and music theorists that were becoming available in translation. They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect. For example, the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the learned music of his time. He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors, painters, architects, and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature.The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state of mind than a specific set of musical techniques. Furthermore, music changed so rapidly during this century and a half-though at different rates in different countries---that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.62. What does the author mean by using the word “eventually” in line 3?A) That music historians used the te rm “Renaissance” after the other historians didB) That most music historians used the term “Renaissance”C) The term “Renaissance” became widely used by art historians but not by music historiansD) That music historians used the term “Renaissance” ver y differently than it had been used by Jules Michelet63. The phrase "frowned on" in line 9 is closest in meaning toA) given upB) forgotten aboutC) argued aboutD) disapproved of64. It can be inferred from the passage that thinkers of the Renaissance were seeking a rebirth ofA) communication among artists across EuropeB) spirituality in everyday lifeC) a cultural emphasis on human valuesD) religious themes in art that would accompany the traditional secular themes65. According to the passage, why was Bemardino Cirillo disappointed with the music of his time?A) It was not complex enough to appeal to musicians.B) It had little emotional impact on audiences.C) It was too dependent on the art and literature of his time.D) It did not contain enough religious themes.66. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage as a reason for the absence of a single Renaissance musical style?A) The musical Renaissance was defined by technique rather than style.B) The musical Renaissance was too short to give rise to a new musical style.C) Renaissance musicians adopted the styles of both Greek and Roman musicians.D) During the Renaissance, music never remained the same for very long.Part V Cloze(15 minutes)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.Today the world's economy is going through two great changes, both bigger than an Asian financial crisis here or a European monetary union there.The first change is that a lot of industrial_67_is moving from the United States, Western Europe and Japan to _68 _countries in Latin America, South-East Asia and Eastern Europe.

This is an excellent 27 , but it is often an inefficient method of study. An efficient student must have enough food, rest and 28 . You need to play ball, or sing a song, or go out with friends, see a movie, visit some 29 spots. When you return to your studies your mind will be 30 and you’ll learn more. Shorter, more intense study 31 are more intense than endless hours of 32 over your books.Finally, be realistic. If you set impossible goals for yourself you can only be disappointed in your progress. Psychologists have determined that learning 33 this way: first, you make a lot of progress and you feel very happy. Then your language ability seems to stay the same; this period can last for days or even weeks. But you mustn’t be 34 .Perhaps we can say that learning English is like taking Chinese medicine. We don’t mean that it’s bitter. We mean that, like Chinese medicine, the effects of your study come slowly but surely. So, don’t 35 along the way.Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Age is nothing but a number, according to new research that suggests you’re only as old as you let yourself feel. A study has shown that people who perceive themselves to be old and frail are more 36 to give up activities which could help to keep them young —such assocializing and taking 37 exercise. By contrast, people with a 38 attitude are more likely to continue taking part in these activities which helps them to stay fit and mentally alert. Krystal Warmoth, from the University of Exeter, believes that older people who 39 themselves as elderly and decrepit are more likely to behave as though they are. She interviewed 29 older people in the southwest of England and asked them about their experiences of aging and fragility. She discovered that an elderly person’s 40 could lead to a loss of interest in participating in social and physical activities, poor health, and 41 quality of life. One respondent summed up the findings:“If people think that they are old and frail, they will act like they’re old and frail,” she said. M s. Warmoth also discovered there can be a cycle of decline whereby perceiving oneself as frail can lead to a person disengaging from activities that could reduce the likelihood of frailty — such as physical 42 . This, in turn, makes them more likely to become frail and to have a poor 43 of life. Ms. Warmoth said:“This study gives an insight into the role of 44 factors in older adults’health and activity levels.” However, plenty of elderly people are clearly following Ms Warmoth’s advice. People with a positive attitude are more likely to continue taking part in activities which help them to stay 45 and mentally alert.A)exerciseB) attitudeC) positiveD) likelyE) categorizeF) proportionG) qualityH) fit I) psychological J) reducedK) pressure L) regularM) stretchN) regulatory O) healthSection BSix Secrets of High-Energy PeopleA) There’s an energy crisis in America, and it has nothing to do with fossil fuels. Millions of us get up each morning already weary over the day holds. “I just can’t get started.” People say. But it’s not physical energy that most of us lack. Sure, we could all use extra sleep and a better diet. But in truth, people are healthier today than at any time in history. I can almost guarantee that if you long for more energy, the problem is not with your body.B) What you’re seeking is not physical energy. It’s emotional energy. Yet, sad to say life sometimes seems designed to exhaust our supply. We work too hard. We have family obligations. We encounter emergencies and personal crises. No wonder so many of us suffer from emotional fatigue, a kind of utter exhaustion of the spirit.C) And yet we all know people who are filled with joy, despite the unpleasant circumstances of their lives. Even as a child I observed people who were poor or disabled or ill, but who nonetheless faced life with optimism and vigor. Consider Laura Hillenbrand, who despite an extremely weak body wrote the best-seller Seabiscuit. Hillenbrand barely had enough physical energy to drag herself out of be to write. But she was fueled by having a story she wanted to share. It was emotional energy that helped her succeed.D) Unlike physical energy, which is finite and diminishes with age, emotional energy is unlimited and has nothing to do with genes or upbringing. So how do you get it? You can’t simply tell yourself to be positive. You must take action. Here are six practical strategies that work.1. Do something new.E) Very little that’s new occurs in our lives. The impact of this sameness on our emotional energy is gradual, but huge: It's like a tire with a slow leak. You don’t notice it at first, but eventually you’ll get a flat. It’'s up to you to plug the leak -even though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in your dull routines of life. That’s where Maura, 36, a waitress, found herself a year ago.F) Fortunately, Maura had a lifeline -a group of women friends who meet regularly to discuss their lives. Their lively discussions spurred Maura to make small but nevertheless life altering changes. She joined a gym in the next town. She changed her look with a short haircut and new black T-shirts. Eventually, Maura gathered the courage to quit her job and start her own business.2. Reclaim life’s meaning.G) So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but that somewhere along the line things went state.H) The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it. A case in point is Ivy, 57, a pioneer in investment banking. “I mistakenly believed that all the money I made would mean something.” she says. “But I feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life.” Ivy’s solution? She started a program that shows Wall Streeters how to donate time and money to poor children. In the process, Ivy filled her life with meaning.3. Put yourself in the fun zone.I) Most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived. High-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation.A real estate broker I know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients. “I love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like with alittle tender loving care,”she says. “It’s a challenge -and the least desirable properties are usually the most fun.”J) We all define fun differently, of course, but I can guarantee this: If you put just a bit of it into your day, you energy will increase quickly.4. Bid farewell to guilt and regret.K) Everyone’s past is filled with regrets that still cause pain. But from an emotional energy point of view, they are dead weights that keep us from us from moving forward. While they can’t merely be willed away, I do recommend you remind yourself that whatever happened is in the past, and nothing can change that. Holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present.5. Make up your mind.L) Say you’ve been thinking about cutting your hair short. Will it look stylish—or too extreme? M) You endlessly think it over. Having the decision hanging over your head is a huge energy drain.N) Every time you can’t decide, you burden yourself with alternatives. Quit thinking that you have to make the right decision; instead, make a choice and don’t look back.6. Give to get.O) Emotional energy has a kind of magical quality; the more you give, the more you get back. This is the difference between emotional and physical energy. With the latter, you have to get it to be able to give it. With the former, however, you get it by giving it.P) Start by asking everyone you meet, “How are you?” as if you really want to know, and then listen to the reply. Be the one who hears. Most of us also need to smile more often. If you don’t smile at the person you love as t he first thing in the morning, you’re sucking energy out of your relationship. Finally, help another person — and make the help real, concrete. Give a massage (按摩) to someone you love, or cook her dinner. Then, expand the circle to work. Try asking yourself what you’d do if your goal were to be helpful rather than efficientQ) After all, if it’s true that what goes around comes around, why not make sure that what’s circulating around you is the good stuff?注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
