Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Some College Students Are Angry That They Have to Pay to Do Their Homework[A ] Digital learning systems now charge students for access codes needed to complete coursework, takequizzes, and turn in homework. As universities go digital, students are complaining of a new hit totheir finances that 's replacing一and sometimes joining—expensive textbooks: pricey online accesscodes that are required to complete coursework and submit assignments.[B]The codes—which typically range in price from $80 to $ 155 per course—give students online accessto systems developed by education companies like McGraw Hill and Pearson. These companies,which long reaped big profits as textbook publishers, have boasted that their new online offerings,when pushed to students through universities they partner with,represent the future of the industry.[C]But critics say the digital access codes represent the same profit-seeking ethos (观念)of the textbookbusiness, and are even harder for students to opt out of. While they could once buy second-handtextbooks, or share copies with friends, the digital systems are essentially impossible to avoid.[D]“When we talk about access code we see it as the new face of the textbook monopoly (垄断),a new2完整版月大学英语四级真题试题二年20186() 页10 共页第way to lock students around this system,”said Ethan Senack,the higher education advocate forthe U. S. Public Interest Research Group, to BuzzFeed News. “Rather than $250 ( for a print textbook)you,re paying $120,”said Senack. But because it,s all digital it eliminates the used book marketand eliminates any sharing and because homework and tests are through an access code, it eliminatesany ability to opt out.[E]Sanna Harper, a 19-year-old student at Virginia Tech, was faced with a tough dilemma when she firststarted college in 2015—pay rent or pay to turn in her chemistry homework. She told BuzzFeedNews that her freshman chemistry class required her to use Connect, a system provided by McGrawHill where students can submit homework, take exams and track their grades. But the code to accessthe program cost $ 120—a big sum for Harper, who had already put down $ 450 for textbooks, andhad rent day approaching.[F]She decided to wait for her next work-study paycheck, which was typically $150 -$200, to pay for thecode. She knew that her chemistry grade may take a dive as a result. “It's a balancing act,”she said.“Can I really afford these access codes now?”She didn 't hand in her first two assignments forchemistry, which started her out in the class with a failing grade.[G ] The access codes may be another financial headache for students, but for textbook businesses, they'rethe future. McGraw Hill, which controls 21% of the higher education market, reported in March thatits digital content sales exceeded print sales for the first time in 2015. The company said that 45% ofits $140 million revenue in 2015 “was derived from digital products”.[H]A Pearson spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that “digital materials are less expensive and a goodinvestment”that offer new features, like audio texts, personalized knowledge checks and expertvideos. Its digital course materials save students up to 60% compared to traditional printed textbooks,the company added. McGraw Hill didn't respond to a request for comment, but its CEO David Levintold the Financial Times in August that “in higher education, the era of the printed textbook is nowover”.[I]The textbook industry insists the online systems represent a better deal for students. “These digital3完整版月大学英语四级真题试题二年20186() 页10 共页第products aren 't just mechanisms for students to submit homework, they offer all kinds of features,nDavid Anderson, the executive director of higher education with the Association of AmericanPublishers, told BuzzFeed News. w It helps students understand in a way that you can 't do with printhomework assignments. ”[J]David Hunt, an associate professor in sociology at Augusta University, which has rolled out digitaltextbooks across its math and psychology departments, told BuzzFeed News that he understands theutility of using systems that require access codes. But he doesn't require his students to buy access toa learning program that controls the class assignments. “I try to make things as inexpensive aspossible,”said Hunt, who uses free digital textbooks for his classes but designs his own curriculum.“The online systems may make my life a lot easier but I feel like I 'm giving up control. Thediscussions are the things where my expertise can benefit the students most. ”K] A 20-year-old junior at Georgia Southern University told BuzzFeed News that she normally spends$500 - $600 on access codes for class. In one case, the professor didn't require students to buy atextbook, just an access code to turn in homework. This year she said she spent $900 on access codesto books and programs. “That's two months of rent,”she said. “You can't sell any of it back. With atraditional textbook you can sell it for $30 - $50 and that helps to pay for your new semester's books.With an access code, you're out of that money. ''[L]Benjamin Wolverton, a 19-year-old student at the University of South Carolina, told BuzzFeed Newsthat “it 's ridiculous that after paying tens of thousands in tuition we have to pay for all these accesscodes to do our homework”? Many of the access codes he 's purchased have been required simply tocomplete homework or quizzes. “Often it's only 10% of your grade in class,”he said. “You'repaying so much money for something that hardly affects your grade一but if you didn 't have it,itwould affect your grade enough. It would be bad to start out at a B or C. n Wolverton said he spent$500 on access codes for digital books and programs this semester.[M] Harper, a poultry (家禽)science major, is taking chemistry again this year and had to buy a newaccess code to hand in her homework. She rented her economics and statistics textbooks for about$20 each. But her access codes for homework, which can't be rented or bought second-hand, were her4完整版月大学英语四级真题试题二年20186() 页10 共页第most expensive purchases: $120 and $85.[N ] She still remembers the sting of her first experience skipping an assignment due to the high prices.“We don't really have a missed assignment policy,”she said. “If you miss it,you just miss it. I justgot zeros on a couple of first assignments. I managed to pull everything back up. But as a scaredfreshman looking at their grades,it's not fun.”36.A student's yearly expenses on access codes may amount to their rent for twomonths.37.The online access codes may be seen as a way to tie the students to the digital system.38.If a student takes a course again, they may have to buy a new access code to submit their assignments.39.McGraw Hill accounts for over one-fifth of the market share of college textbooks.40.Many traditional textbook publishers are now offering online digital products, which they believe willbe the future of the publishing business.41.One student complained that they now had to pay for access codes in addition to the high tuition.42.Digital materials can cost students less than half the price of traditional printed books according to apublisher.43.One student decided not to buy her access code until she received the pay for her part-time job.44.Online systems may deprive teachers of opportunities to make the best use of their expertise for theirstudents.45.Digital access codes are criticized because they are profit-driven just like the textbook business.Section CDirections: 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 shoulddecide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line throughthe centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it5完整版月大学英语四级真题试题二年20186() 页10 共页第to someone else. While we teach,we learn,”said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists arebringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date. They re documenting why teaching is such a fruitful way tolearn, and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction. Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understand thematerial, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachersscore higher on teststhan pupils who 're learning only for their own sake. But how can children, still learning themselves,teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids. Some studies have found that first-born childrenare more intelligent than their later-bom siblings (兄弟姐妹).This suggests their higher IQs result fromthe time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply thismodel to academic subjects. They engage college undergraduates to teach computer science to highschool students, who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the “teachable agent ”—a computerizedcharacter who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computerscientists have created an animated (动画的)figure called Betty's Brain, who has been “taught”aboutenvironmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers are motivated to helpBetty master certain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize their knowledge and improve theirown understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they identify problems in their ownthinking.Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors 'learning. The agents 'questionscompel student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching the agent solveproblems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.Above all,it 's the emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning. Student tutors feelupset when their teachable agents fail,but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as they derive prideand satisfaction from someone else 's accomplishment.46. What are researchers rediscovering through their studies?A)Seneca's thinking is still applicable today.B)Better learners will become better teachers.C)Human intelligence tends to grow with age.D)Philosophical thinking improves instruction.6完整版月大学英语四级真题试题二年20186() 页10 共页第47.

How does teaching others benefit student tutors?A)It makes them aware of what they are strong at.B)It motivates them to try novel ways of teaching.C)It helps them learn their academic subjects better.D)It enables them to better understand their teachers.49.What do students do to teach their teachable agents?A)They motivate them to think independently.B)They ask them to design their own questions.C)They encourage them to give prompt feedback.D)They use various ways to explain the materials.50.What is the key factor that eases student tutors' learning?A)Their sense of responsibility.B)Their emotional involvement.C)The learning strategy acquired.D)The teaching experience gained.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.A new batch of young women—members of the so-called Millennial (千禧的)generation has beenentering the workforce for the past decade. At the starting line of their careers, they are better educatedthan their mothers and grandmothers had been—or than their young male counterparts are now. But whenthey look ahead,they see roadblocks to their success. They believe that women are paid less than menfor doing the same job. They think it's easier for men to get top executive jobs than it is for them. And7完整版月大学英语四级真题试题二年20186() 页10 共页第they assume that if and when they have children, it will be even harder for them to advance in theircareers.While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20 - 30years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say this country needs tocontinue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with 57% of Millennialmen. Even so, relatively few young women (15%) say they have been discriminated against at workbecause of their gender.As Millennial women come of age they share many of the same views and values about work astheir male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they place relativelylittle importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women are less likely than mento aim at top management jobs: 34% say they' re not interested in becoming a boss or top manager;only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap on this question is even wider among workingadults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs that go with work and motherhood.These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2,002 adults, including 810Millennial (ages 18 -32),conducted Oct. 7 - 27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramaticgains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recent decades, youngwomen view this as a man's world—just as middle-aged and older women do.51.What do we learn from the first paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers?A)They can get ahead only by striving harder.B)They expect to succeed just like Millennial men.C)They are generally quite optimistic about their future.D)They are better educated than their male counterparts.52.How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace?A)They are the target of discrimination.B)They find it satisfactory on the whole.8完整版月大学英语四级真题试题二年20186() 页10 共页第C)They think it needs further improving.D)They find their complaints ignored.53.What do Millennial women value most when coming of age?A)A sense of accomplishment.B)Job stability and flexibility.C)Rewards and promotions.D)Joy derived from work.54.What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about?A)The welfare of their children.B)The narrowing of the gender gap.C)The fulfillment of their dreams in life.D)The balance between work and family.55.What conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey?A)They still view this world as one dominated by males.B)They account for half the workforce in the job market.C)They see the world differently from older generations.D)They do better in work than their male counterparts.9完整版月大学英语四级真题试题二年20186() 页10 共页第art IV Translation (30 minutes)PDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish.

The school district, he said, was facinga crisis. Its students were overburdened and stressed out, having to cope with too much workand too many demands. In the previous school year, 120 middle and high school students were recommended for mental health assessments and 40 were hospitalized. And on a surveyadministered by the district, students wrote things like, "I hate going to school," and "Comingout of 12 years in this district, I have learned one thing: that a grade, a percentage or evena point is to be valued over anything else."B) With his letter, Aderhold inserted West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District intoa national discussion about the intense focus on achievement at elite schools, and whetherit has gone too far. At follow-up meetings, he urged parents to join him in advocating a "whole child" approach to schooling that respects "social-emotional development" and "deep and meaningful learning" over academics alone. The alternative, he suggested, was to face the prospect of becoming another Palo Alto, California, where outsize stress on teenage studentsis believed to have contributed to a number of suicides in the last six years.C) But instead of bringing families together, Aderhold's letter revealed a divide in thedistrict, which has 9,700 students, and one that broke down roughly along racial lines. Onone side are white parents like Catherine Foley, a former president of theParent-Teacher-Student Association at her daughter's middle school, who has come to see thedistrict's increasingly pressured atmosphere as opposed to learning. "My son was in fourthgrade and told me, 'I'm not going to amount to anything because I have nothing to put on my resume,'" she said. On the other side are parents like Mike Jia, one of the thousands ofAsian-American professionals who have moved to the district in the past decade, who said Aderhold's reforms would amount to a "dumbing down" of his children's education. "What ishappening here reflects a national anti-intellectual trend that will not prepare our children for the future," Jia said.D) About 10 minutes from Princeton and an hour and a half from New York City, West Windsor and Plainsboro have become popular bedroom communities for technology entrepreneurs, researchers and engineers, drawn in large part by the public schools. From the last three graduating classes, 16 seniors were admitted to MIT. It produces Science Olympiad winners, classically trained musicians and students with perfect SAT scores.E) The district has become increasingly popular with immigrant families from China, India and Korea. This year, 65 percent of its students are Asian-American, compared with 44 percent in 2007. Many of them are the first in their families born in the United States. They have had a growing influence on the district. Asian-American parents are enthusiastic supporters of the competitive instrumental music program. They have been huge supporters of the district's advanced mathematics program, which once began in the fourth grade but will now start in the sixth. The change to the program, in which 90 percent of the participating students are Asian-American, is one of Aderhold's reforms.F) Asian-American students have been eager participants in a state program that permits them to take summer classes off campus for high school credit, allowing them to maximize the number of honors and Advanced Placement classes they can take, another practice that Aderhold is limiting this school year. With many Asian-American children attending supplementary instructional programs, there is a perception among some white families that the elementary school curriculum is being sped up to accommodate them.G) Both Asian-American and white families say the tension between the two groups has grown steadily over the past few years, as the number of Asian families has risen. But the division has become more obvious in recent months as Aderhold has made changes, including no-homework nights, an end to high school midterms and finals, and an initiative that made it easier to participate in the music program.H)Jennifer Lee, professor of sociology at the University of California, Irvine, and an author of the Asian American Achievement Paradox, says misunderstanding between first-generation Asian-American parents and those who have been in this country longer are common. What white middle-class parents do not always understand, she said, is how much pressure recent immigrants feel to boost their children into the middle class. "They don't have the same chances to get their children internships (实习职位) or jobs at law firms," Lee said. "So what they believe is that their children must excel and beat their white peers in academic settings so they have the same chances to excel later. "I) The issue of the stresses felt by students in elite school districts has gained attention in recent years as schools in places like Newton, Massachusetts, and Palo Alto have reported a number of suicides. West Windsor-Plainsboro has not had a teenage suicide in recent years,but Aderhold, who has worked in the district for seven years and been chief for the last three years, said he had seen troubling signs. In a recent art assignments, a middle school student depicted (描绘) an overburdened child who was being scolded for earning an A, rather than an A+ , on a math exam. In the image, the mother scolds the student with the words, "Shame on you!" Further, he said, the New Jersey Education Department has flagged at least two pieces of writing on state English language assessments in which students expressed suicidal thoughts. J) The survey commissioned by the district found that 68 percent of high school honor and Advanced Placement students reported feeling stressed about school "always or most of the time." "We need to bring back some balance," Aderhold said. "You don't want to wait until it's too late to do something. "K) Not all public opinion has fallen along racial lines. Karen Sue, the Chinese-American mother of a fifth-grader and an eighth-grader, believes the competition within the district has gotten out of control. Sue, who was born in the United States to immigrant parents, wants her peers to dial it back. "It's become an arms race, an educational arms race," she said. "We all want our kids to achieve and be successful. The question is, at what cost?"36. Aderhold is limiting the extra classes that students are allowed to take off campus.37. White and Asian-American parents responded differently to Aderhold's appeal.38. Suicidal thoughts have appeared in some students' writings.39. Aderhold's reform of the advanced mathematics program will affect Asian-American students most.40. Aderhold appealed for parents' support in promoting an all-round development of children, instead of focusing only on their academic performance.41. One Chinese-American parent thinks the competition in the district has gone too far.42. Immigrant parents believe that academic excellence will allow their children equal chances to succeed in the future.43. Many businessmen and professionals have moved to West Windsor and Plainsboro because of the public schools there.44. A number of students in Aderhold's school district were found to have stress-induced mental health problems.45. The tension between Asian-American and white families has increased in recent years.

The gender gap on this question is even wider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs that go with work and motherhood.These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2,002 adults, including 810 Millennials (ages 18-32), conducted Oct. 7-27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recent decades, young women view this as a man's world—just as middle-aged and older women do.51. What do we learn from the first paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers?A) They can get ahead only by striving harder.B) They expect to succeed just like Millennial men.C) They are generally quite optimistic about their future.D) They are better educated than their male counterparts.52. How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace?A) They are the target of discrimination.B) They find it satisfactory on the whole.C) They think it needs further improving.D) They find their complaints ignored.53. What do Millennial women value most when coming of age?A) A sense of accomplishment.B) Job stability and flexibility.C) Rewards and promotions.D) Joy derived from work.54. What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about?A) The welfare of their children.B) The narrowing of the gender gap.C) The fulfillment of their dreams in life.D) The balance between work and family.55. What conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey?A) They still view this world as one dominated by males.B) They account for half the workforce in the job market.C) They see the world differently from older generations.D) They do better in work than their male counterparts.Part IV Translation (30 minutes )Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

2018年6月英语四级考试真题及考试答案(卷二)【写作】【题干】Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the importance of writing ability and how to develop it. 120-180 words.【答案】Writing is a skill tested in all major standardized educational tests, including CET-4/6, TOEFL, IELTS, and so on. But there has been no shortage of reports from different sources that a large proportion of students, especially college students, have ill-performed writing skills, earning relatively low scores in tests as well as on school assignments.In my opinion, writing is a crucial skill for students. It is a reliable way by which one impart knowledge, suggest plans, fight for one’s idea, refute a theory, and many other purposes. So if you are good at writing, then you are able to fulfill the tasks above mentioned more effectively. Besides, noted writes, be they novelists, poets or editors-in-chief enlighten every generation of readers with new experiences. That’s why readers today still discuss on and share their opinions on great books such as A Dream in Red Mansions.In a nutshell, few skills are more important than writing in the current society. So my suggest would be that every one, college students particular, takes time to hone writing skills, get more practice in it, so that we can live up to the social expectation of becoming socialist successors.【解析】第一段提出问题,第二段描述事实,第三段得出结论或给出建议。

The long lost message was discovered by Clint Buffington of Utah while he was vacationing. Buffington says he found a soda bottle half-buried in the sand that looked like it had been there since the beginning of time.The note inside the bottle said, "Return to 419 Ocean Street and receive a reward of $150 from Richard and Tina Pierce, owners of the beach Comber motel.The motel was owned by the Paula Pierce in 1960. Her father had written the notes as a joke and had thrown it into the Atlantic Ocean. Buffington flew to New Hampshire to deliver that message to Pola Pierce. She held up to her father's promise giving Buffington that reward. But the biggest reward is the message in a bottle finding its way back home.Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.1. What is the news report mainly about?2. Why did Paula Pierce give Clint Buffington the reward?News Report TwoMillions of bees have died in South Carolina during aerial insect spraying operations that were carried out to combat the Zika virus. The insects spraying over the weekend left more than 2 million bees dead on the spot in Dorchester county South Carolina, where four travel-related cases of Zika disease have been confirmed in the area. Most of the deaths came from Flower Town Bee farm, a company in Somerville that sells bees and honey products. Juanita Stanley who owns the company said the farm looks like it's been destroyed. The farm lost about 2.5 million bees. Dorchester county officials apologized for the accidental mass killing of bees. Dorchester County is aware that some beekeepers in the area that was sprayed on Sunday lost their bee colonies. County manager Jason Ward said in a statement. “I'm not pleased that so many bees were killed.”Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.3. Why was spraying operations carried out in Dorchester County?4. What does the news reports say about Flower Town Bee farm?News Report ThreeThe world's largest aircraft has taken to the skies for the first time. The Airlander 10 spent nearly 2 hours in the air having taken off from Coddington airfield in Bedfordshire. During its flight it reached 3000 feet and performed a series of gentle turns all over a safe area. The aircraft is massive as long as a football field and as tall as 6 double decker buses and capable of flying for up to 5 days. It was first developed for the US government as a long range spy aircraft, but was abandoned following budget cutbacks. The aircraft cost 25 million pounds and can carry heavier loads than huge jet planes while also producing less noise and omitting less pollution. The makers believe it's the future of aircraft and one day we'll be using them to go places. But there's still a long way to go. The Airlander will need to have 200 hours flying time before being allowed to fly by the aviation administration if it passes though we can hope we'll all get some extra legroom.Questions 5 and 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.5. What do we learn about the first flight of the Airlander 10?6. What caused the US government to abandon theAirlander 10 as a spy aircraft?7.

What do we learn about Katherine’schoolmate Bree?Section CPassage OneHave you ever felt like you would do just about anything to satisfy your hunger? A new study in mice may help to explain why hunger can feel like such a powerful motivating force. In the study, researchers found that hunger outweighed other physical drives, including fear, thirst and social needs.To determine which feeling won out, the researchers did a series of experiments. In one experiment, the mice were both hungry and thirsty. When given the choice of either eating food or drinking water, the micewent for the food, the researchers found. However, when the mice were well-fed but thirsty, they opted to drink, according to the study. In the second experiment meant to pit the mice's hunger against their fear, hungry mice were placed in a cage that had certain "fox-scented" areas and other places that smelled safer (in other words, not like an animal that could eat them) but also had food. It turned out that, when the mice were hungry, they ventured into the unsafe areas for food. But when the mice were well-fed, they stayed in areas of the cage that were considered "safe." Hunger also outweighed the mice's social needs, the researchers found. Mice are usually social animals and prefer to be in the company of other mice, according to the study. When the mice were hungry, they opted to leave the company of other mice to go get food.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard. 16. What is the researchers’ purpose in carrying out the serious experiment with mice?17. In what circumstances, do mice venture into unsafe areas?18. What is said about mice at the end of the passage?Passage TwoThe United States has one of the best highway systems in the world. Interstate highways connect just about every large and mid-sized city in the country. Did you ever wonder why such a complete system of excellent roads exists? For an answer,you would have to go back to the early 1920s. In those years, just after World War I, the military wanted to build an American highway system for national defense. Such a system could, if necessary, move troops quickly from one area to another. It could also get people out of cities in danger of being bombed. So-called roads of national importance were designated, but they were mostly small country roads. In 1944, Congress passed a bill to upgrade the system, but did not fund the plan right away. In the 1950s, the plan began to become a reality. Over $25 billion was appropriated by congress, and construction began on about 40,000 miles of new roads. The idea was to connect the new system to existing expressways and freeways. And though the system was built mostly to make car travel easier, defense was not forgotten. For instance, highway overpasses had to be high enough to allow trailers carrying military missiles to pass under them. By 1974, this system was mostly completed. A few additional roads would come later. Quick and easy travel between all parts of the country was now possible.Questions 19 and 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What does the speaker say about the American highway system?20. What was the original purpose of building a highway system?21. When was the interstate highway system mostly completed?Passage ThreeTexting while driving was listed as a major cause of road deaths among young Americans back in 2013. A recent study said that 40% of American teens claim to have been in a car when the driver used a cell phone in a way that put people in danger. This sounds like a widespread disease but it's one that technology may now helped cure. T.J. Evarts, a 20- year-old inventor, has come up with a novel solution that could easily put texting drivers on notice. It's called Smart Wheel, and it's designed to fit over the steering wheel of most standard vehicles to track whether or not the driver has two hands on the wheel at all times. Evarts’invention warns the drivers with the light and the sound when they hold the wheel with one hand only, but as soon as they place the other hand back on the wheel the light turns back to green and the sound stops. It also watches for what's called “close by hands”, where both hands are close together near the top of the wheel so the driver can type with both thumbs anddrive at the same time. All the data Smart Wheel collects is also sent to a connected app. So any parents who install Smart Wheel can keep track of the teens’driving habits. If they try to remove or damage the cover, that's reported as well.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What is a major cause of road deaths among young Americans?23. What is Smart Wheel?24. What happens if the driver has one hand on the wheel?25. How do parents keep track of their teens’driving habits?参考答案:ABBCA CDADC BDCAD BACDB ABACB2听力第二套参考答案:Section A1.
