A
For some years，my mother worked for a charity as President and Secretary.Selling raffle tickets(兑奖券) was her main means of bringing in the charity’s much-needed funds.We girls would accompany her，selling tickets with great success.My father made and donated beautiful wooden toys，jewellery boxes and other lovely items as prizes.
Now my sister was always coming up with “good ideas”，most of which didn’t work out to plan.But that didn’t deter her.She had many just waiting to be tested.When she was eight and I was just five，we had a wonderful idea for a business adventure.We decided we would sell raffle tickets for charity，and that charity was us!
So one afternoon，we told our mother we were going to play in the park with our cousins as we did most days after school.But instead，we walked around the streets armed with a raffle book，a pen and a large cloth bag to carry the money.
We’d accompanied our mother many times when she sold tickets，so people were familiar with us when we appeared at their doors.Despite the blank looks they received when asking about the prizes on offer，they were very generous.Although there were no actual prizes，our mother’s previous track record enabled us to sell nearly the whole book of raffle tickets.
Like a little pair of lottery(彩票) winners，we walked home and proudly showed off our takings.But our enjoyment of this sudden wealth was short-lived，and our plans for spending it
quickly failed.Our angry mother took us back to every ticket buyer，making us apologise and give the money back.Thankfully，our sweet neighbours didn’t make a big deal of our “clever”misbehavior and thus my mother’s fundraising career could continue safely.We were taught a good lesson by our mother that day.Also I remember my sister’s entrepreneurial(企业家的) spirit dried up a bit after that.

The striking bright blues，yellows，and oranges of poison tree frogs are a classic example of warning coloration，sending a message to predators(捕食者) to stay away.But somewhat counterintuitively(反直觉地)，these colors may be helping the frogs hide in plain sight，according to a new study.
These frogs live on the forest floor in the lowland rainforests of South America’s Guiana Shield.The frogs are blue-black with a bright yellow ring around their head and back，which may be broken or joined to form a figure eight.Like a fingerprint，the pattern is unique to each frog.
Predators generally learn that such brightly colored frogs are poisonous and tend to avoid them.But this doesn’t always work.Foolish predators ignore the warning，while some birds and snakes seem to be able to eat poisonous frogs with few ill effects.
So researchers wondered whether these poison frogs have another way of protecting
themselves—camouflage(保护色)．To find out，they first tested computational models of predator vision on pictures of the frogs.Their results suggested that although the frogs are obvious at close range，their colors and patterns blend(融合) with the rainforest background as viewing distance increases.
To test those results，they placed model frogs on different backgrounds in a rainforest to see how wild predators reacted.Predators attacked the frogs more often when they were placed atop(在……的顶上) a picture of plain soil or a colored paper square，but less often when they were on the actual rainforest floor.
And humans seem to fall for the trick，too：People who saw pictures of frogs in the rainforest took longer to spot the real frogs at a distance than a frog that had been altered(使变样) so that it didn’t have the same colors and patterns.Together，this suggests that although these poison frogs are highly visible at close range，from far away their colors blend together for the perfect rainforest camouflage.The researchers consider that the frog’s pattern is made up of a specific distribution of colors to give it the best of both worlds.
25．What does the new study about poison tree frogs focus on?
A．How their predators catch them.
B．How their bright colors protect them.
C．What their bright colors are.
D．What their predators are.
26．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A．Summarize the previous paragraph.
B．Use examples to support the topic.
C．Add some background information.
D．Introduce a new topic for discussion.
27．What can be learnt about the results achieved by the researchers?
A．They confirmed their assumption.
B．They changed their research direction.
C．They needed more research data support.
D．They disagreed with previous research findings.
C
In the United States，the baby boomer generation(婴儿潮一代) include those who were born in the time after World War Ⅱ.Those babies have retired or are now reaching the retirement age.As these adults age，many of their adult children worry about how to take care of their aging parents.In the United States it is not common for several generations to live under one roof.Once children grow up and get married，they move out，leaving their aging parents to care for themselves.When
these aging parents can no longer take care of themselves because of age or illness，it is not uncommon for adult children in the US to place their elderly parents in a nursing home.
A nursing home is a place that offers care for the elderly and ill.As the name suggests，nursing homes have professionals including nurses，doctors and social workers to help aging adults deal with the challenges of daily life.And their mental health could be guaranteed for elderly people to get relaxed，accompanied by those of the same age.Most nursing homes also have social activities for the elderly to participate in and keep active.These activities range from games to dance classes，and movie nights.Nursing homes are supposed to provide three nutritious meals for their residents(住户)．
Nursing homes are controversial，however.There have been cases across the country of staff in nursing homes treating the elderly residents badly and even robbing them.There are different states and federal agencies that are supposed to oversee(监管) nursing homes.
Some people feel that it should be the responsibility of family members，especially adult children，to care for their aging or sick parents.However，many adult children have their own children and families to take care of，and do not have the means to care for their elderly parents；others worry about medical skills needed if their elderly parents are seriously ill.And these problems of caring for parents are bothering more and more adults in the US at present. 28．What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A．When the baby boomer generation in the US were born.
B．Whether the elderly and their children should live together.
C．Why Americans put their elderly parents in nursing homes.
D．How Americans look after their aging parents differently.
29．How many advantages of nursing homes are mentioned?
A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.
30．What’s the purpose of the text?
A．To discuss how to care for aging parents.
B．To ask the government to oversee nursing homes.
C．To prove nursing homes do more harm than good.
D．To show problems faced by American adult children.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you’re leading a group of people towards success，you must learn how to motivate others.Try one or more of the following ways of motivating people.
Treat people kindly.As a leader，you need to treat others helping you with the utmost respect
and kindness. 31 You might not know it，but it’s a big motivation booster when people are treated right.People enjoy knowing that they’re doing a good job and enjoy working with people that treat them with kindness.
32When people are fully responsible，they’ll be more likely to find the motivation to complete the task.This is because，as a part of a group，they may not feel like their hard work matters，but when they’re responsible it certainly matters.They also know that they make a difference to the success of the project.
Be a good listener.No one likes to feel like they don’t matter.Having the final say doesn’t mean that you needn’t get any help with important decision making. 33 Always keep an open ear and you’ll be motivating your team to come up with good solutions and creative ideas.
Set realistic goals.Think long and hard about how your goal setting abilities can teach you to motivate others.You don’t want to set goals that are too easy.Your team might reach them quickly but they won’t be pushed to become the best they can be. 34 Your team will quickly lose motivation because they’ll never get the feeling of having met their goals.
Get to know your people.Keep lines of communication open and get to know your team by paying attention to their wants，needs，strengths and weaknesses. 35 So they’ll certainly be more motivated to work hard for somebody that cares about them.
A．Offer a nice clean working environment.
B．Give people responsibility.
C．People enjoy feeling like they’re making a difference.
D．People are smart and they will know when they have a leader that cares and a leader that doesn’t.
E．Hand out praise when it’s necessary.
F．A trustworthy neighbor also provides a safe place to run in case of a fire.
G．Meanwhile，you don’t want to set goals that are impossible to achieve，either.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I have worked within team environments for many years.But，I learned about teamwork many years before the term became a popular word in organizations.Are large organizations the only places where teamwork exists?
When I was a teenager，I had the opportunity to visit many country farms along with my father who taught music lessons to many farm kids.I always remember one farm in particular where both of the farmer’s sons took guitar lessons from my father.
The farm on which the boys lived was a small dairy farm where milking the cows was a daily routine both in the early morning and at night.The farm was big enough，so that one person，the farmer，could not manage it alone and certainly could not do all the tasks by himself as well as plant the crops in the early spring and harvest them for his cows both in late June and in early September.This meant that if the farm was to grow and support the family，everyone had to work and help.This meant that all family members，including the farmer’s wife，had a set of clear responsibilities on a daily basis，seven days a week.As you may know，dairy cows must be milked every day including Saturday and Sunday—there is no rest on a farm—no days off—no sick time—nor any holidays.
So，what developed through necessity was the original teamwork—teamwork that meant survival，growth and enough money to feed the family，but the necessary farm supplies like tools and machines.If there was no teamwork，there would be no farm—it was that simple.
If you have a chance sometime in the future，I would encourage you to visit a working farm like this.It is too bad that more people couldn’t experience the original team on a farm before they start to talk about what teams are and how they should operate—they may learn more than they might first realize.

答案精析
21．A[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My father made and donated beautiful wooden toys，jewellery boxes and other lovely items as prizes.”可知，父亲会准备兑奖券上的奖品。]
22．C[词义猜测题。由转折词But以及下文提到的姐姐继续具体实施她的想法可知，之前的失败并没有阻止姐姐。deter意为“阻止”。]
23．D[推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Although there were no actual prizes，our mother’s previous track record enabled us to sell nearly the whole book of raffle tickets.”可知，姐妹俩利用人们对妈妈的信任得以出售出很多兑奖券。]
24．A[推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Our angry mother...making us apologise and give the money back...We were taught a good lesson by our mother that day.”可知，妈妈对于姐妹俩故作聪明的小把戏非常气愤，命令二人向奖券购买者道歉，并退还所得。根据故事情节推断，妈妈应是教姐妹俩做人要诚实。]
25．B[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“these colors may be helping the frogs hide in plain sight，according to a new study”可知，B项正确。]
26．C[写作目的题。第二段中作者介绍了毒树蛙的生活地点以及皮肤颜色的构成，作者写本段的目的是提供背景知识。]
27．A[推理判断题。根据第四段及第五段的内容可知，研究者们设想毒树蛙用鲜艳的皮肤颜色作为保护色，使自己与雨林融为一体来保护自己。为了验证这一设想，研究人员进行了两次科学实验，实验结果均证实了这一设想。]
28．C[段落大意题。文章第一段说明了生育高峰期出生的一代人都渐渐变老，并且在美国，几代人同住一个屋檐下的情况很少见，因此养老问题日趋迫切，一些成年子女们将年迈的父母送到养老院。因此本段主要讲了这一行为的历史原因和文化原因。]
29．B[细节理解题。文章第二段介绍了养老院的基本情况和四个优势：有专业人员负责老人们的身体健康；与同龄人轻松相处保障了老年人的良好心理状况；多种多样的社交活动；营养美味的饭菜。]
30．D[写作意图题。通读全文可以看出，文章主要反映了美国成年子女们所面对的“养老问题”。]
31．E[根据本段最后一句“People enjoy knowing that they’re doing a good job and enjoy working with people that treat them with kindness.”可知人们喜欢知道他们表现很好，也就是说喜欢受到表扬，故E项“Hand out praise when it’s necessary.(必要的时候表扬别人)”符合上下文语境。]
32．B[根据空后一句“When people are fully responsible，they’ll be more likely to find the motivation to complete the task.”可知当人们有责任心的时候，他们会更有动力去完成自己的任务，故B项“Give people responsibility.(赋予人们责任)”符合上下文语境。]
33．C[根据本段内容尤其是第二句“No one likes to feel like they don’t matter.”可知，人们都喜欢被重视的感觉，因此C项“People enjoy feeling like they’re making a difference.”符合上下文语境。]
34．G[由本段第一句“Set realistic goals(设立现实的目标)”可知我们设立的目标必须是能够实现的目标，不能过难也不能过于容易。由空前“设立太容易的目标，难以激发队员们的潜力”
及空后内容“得不到达成目标的满足感会失去动力”可知，空处是说设立难以实现的目标，故G项与本段中心思想一致，符合上下文语境。]
35．D[根据空前一句“Keep lines of communication open and get to know your team by paying attention to their wants，needs，strengths and weaknesses.”可知，要让人们知道他们有一个很体贴的领导，这样他们才会更加努力地工作。D项“People are smart and they will know when they have a leader that cares and a leader that doesn’t.”符合上下文语境。]
36．C[根据空后的“helps them discover new things”可知是“提高”想象力，故选C。] 37．D[一个恰当的例子是来自爱荷华州迪比克的13岁的卢克。此处指的是一个“案例”，故选D。]

44．B[根据语境，可知，此处指很容易地通过楼梯“进入”，故选B。access到达，进入。] 45．A[虽然卢克做了研究，并学会了如何做所有的工作，但他在整个过程中都得到了父亲
的帮助。research研究，调查，符合语境。]
46．B[参见上题解析。故选B。]
47．C[他的儿子学会了保持预算和与成年人交流，他非常高兴。budget预算，故选C。] 48．D[上文提到他的儿子学会了保持预算和与成年人打交道，而下文的“he had some simple rules when Luke the house”说明前后表示“转折”，故选D。]

58．the[考查冠词。形容词最高级前需用定冠词the。]
59．did[考查动词的时态。由“over 300 years ago”可知设空处所表示的动作发生在过去，故用一般过去时。故填did。]
60．rising[考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处需用动词-ing形式作状语，故填rising。] 61．patterns[考查名词复数。pattern是可数名词，由changing可知此处应填其复数形式。] 62．than[考查连词。由“two-and-a-half times more people”可知，此处指超重的人是营养不良的人的2.5倍，故需填than。]

参考范文
I worked on this particular farm from time to time for a couple of years and I certainly found out a lot.I found out how hard the work is.I found out what time meant when you needed to milk a cow at a set time，feed them at a certain time，and finish one task completely in a short time period because there was another one waiting to be done.I found out the importance of teamwork on the farm where family members all work together to make an operation a success.
Farms have become even bigger business today.No longer are there the small farms unless of
course those that are only hobby farms.And，as farms grew，the machines to work them have become even more expensive.Farmers have to gain more knowledge of seeds，crops，fertilizers，and how to survive by investing in the markets.However，if there was no teamwork，there would be no farm.
英语专业四级考试1993年——203年听写原文 1993 Package Holidays Package holidays, covering a two weeks' stay in an attractive place, are increasingly popular. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination．Everything is laid on for you．There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother to arrange anything yourselves．You make friends and have a good time. But there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people．This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time traveling．Of course, there are carefully planned stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient. But time is always short．There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend you holiday with a group of people you have never met before． (1994) The American Family The American family unit is changing. There used to be mainly two types of families, the extended and the nuclear. The former included mother, father, children, and some other relatives such as grandparents, living in the same house or nearby. Then as the economy progressed from agricultural to industrial, people began moving to different parts of the country in order to search for job opportunities. These moves split up the extended family. The nuclear family consisting of only parents and children has therefore become far more wide spread. Today’s family, however, can be composed of diverse co mbinations. With the divorce rate nearly one in two, there's an increase in single-parent homes—a father or mother living with one or more children. Blended families occur when divorced men and women remarry and combine the children from former marriages into a new family. On the other hand, there is an increase in childless couples while one in rive Americans lives alone. (1995) Unidentified Flying Objects There are many explanations for why UFOs visit the Earth. / The most popular one is that they maybe visitors from other planets./ To fly such aircraft, their builders must develop different forms of aviation,/because they seem to fly much faster than normal aircraft./ The UFOs, it is believed, must contain scientists/ from other planets who are studying life on earth./ It is even believed that several such aircraft may have landed on earth/ and the space visitors may be living amongst us./ But there are also less fantastic explanations available./ Although some sightings of UFOs are difficult to explain, most can be explained quite easily./ In many cases the observers might have made a mistake./ They might have seen a weather balloon or an aircraft./ Or the light they saw in the sky might have been light from the ground,/ reflected on to the clouds./ However, the exact cause of many sightings still remained a mystery.

2．专八考试的题型介绍 专八考试主要针对英语专业高年级阶段（即英语专业大四下期）学生的水平，不但考查学生语言基本功，还要考查学生“学习英语专业知识和相关专业知识，进一步扩大知识面，增加对文化差异的敏感性，提高综合运用英语进行交际的能力”。也就是说，不但要考查学生英语的“听、说、读、写”的基本功，还要考查学生对“英汉互译，英语国家概况，语言学，文学”等各个方面的知识。 根据2004年最新修订后的《高校英语专业八级考试大纲》，专四整个考试所需要的时间是185分钟，试卷总分100分，评分时采用记权分式，把得分折算为百分制，以60分为及格标准。考试共分听力理解、阅读理解、人文知识、改错、翻译和写作六个部分。试卷上题型、题数、计分和做题时间如下表：
英语专业四级考试真题听写原文2005年 The Wrist Watch It is generally believed that wrist watches are an exception / to the normal sequence in the evolution of man's jewelry. / Reversing the usual order, they were first worn by women, / and then adopted by men. / In the old days, queens included wrist watches among their crown jewelry. / Later, they were worn by Swiss workers and farmers. / Until World War I, Americans associated the watch with fortune hunters. / Then army officers discovered that the wrist watch was most practical for active combat. / Race car drivers also loved to wear wrist watches, / and pilots found them most useful while flying. / Soon men dared to wear wrist watches without feeling self-conscious. / By 1924, some 30 percent of man's watches were worn on the wrist. / Today, the figure is 90 percent. / And they are now worn by both men and women / for practical purposes rather than for decoration. 2006年 The internet The internet is the most significant progress in the field of communications.Imagine a book that never rend, a library with milion floors,or imagine a research project with thousands of sientists working around the clock forever.This is the magic of the internet.
英语专业四级听写50篇 前言 听写在英语专业四级统考中占有15％的比重，是考试的重要组成部分。 说起听写，正在准备和已经参加过英语专业四级考试的同学会说： “我能明白听写的内容，可写的时候就是跟不上！”“短文大意我明白，可是有的语我不 会写。” 这只反映出了问题的两个方面。一是听写速度不够快。二是词汇量不够或词汇掌握得不够准确。这些无疑是影响听写成绩的重要因素。但是，这些不是问题的全部。在从事听写教学及听写问卷过程中，很容易发现学生失分的具体问题： （1）没听懂，没听好，听写速度跟不上，写出的内容断断续续不连贯，学生因此大量失分； （2）有的词汇没听懂，拼写不够准确，这导致听写失分； （3）时态错误导致失分； （4）单复数不准确导致失分； （5）没有注意断句或专有名词，句子开头单词或专有名词错误使用大小写导致失分； （6）没有注意原文冠词的使用，书写时漏掉冠词导 致失分； （7）没有注意单数第三人称形式导致失分； （8）没有注意单数复数名词的形式导致失分。 上述问题的产生有的是缺乏训练造成的，如书写速度跟不上。有的则是语言基础较 差造成的，如听力较差没有完全听懂或没有掌握好词汇。而单复数、大小写、冠词漏写 等则多是粗心大意造成的。 听写部分能提高吗？ 当然能！而且提高的空间很大。 笔者从事英语专业基础教学与研究，从一开始所带的教学班参加四级考试超过全国 院校平均通过率28．2个百分点，超过全国专业外语院校平均通过率12．5个百分点开始，所带的教学班在全国英语专业④级统考中通过率始终ito％，平均成绩、优秀率始终名列 前茅。最近一次所带的教学班参加四级统考，又考出了很好的成绩，通过率超过全国院 校平均水平26石个百分点，超过全国专业外语院校13．6个百分点，而且在十几个平行 班中平均成绩是最高的，优秀人数也是最多的。在四级考试中，听写一项的成绩也不例外，每次均位居第一，本项目满分15分，所带班级平均成绩能够达到14分。 是不是学生基础很好？统计表明，和平行班相比所带班级入学时并不存在什么特别 优势。 教学经验表明，听写成功的关键是训练方法和体现训练方法的训练材料。 听写训练过程中无论是老师还是学生都有必要注意以下几点： 二．扭握淤轿肘虚度大纲要求第一遍用正常速

Please write the whole passage on ANSWER SHEET ONE. In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather wasn’t very good, even in summer, so a lot of people left the country for a vacation. In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier on average. As a result, they started to go abroad in groups to places such as Spain and Greece. Once they arrived at their destination, they met with other groups of young people and had one long party. British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a hotter climate, so people do not need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, going abroad is more expensive. As a result, more British people are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.
