The more you write, the larger vocabulary you will have.Effective and efficient measures should be taken to develop our wiring ability. As the process of output, good writing ability are in need of rich accumulation and therefore we should increase our awareness of spending more time on reading, increasing our language expression ability and accumulating materials as much as possible.Part IV TranslationIn the past, traveling by plane was unimaginable for most Chinese people. With the economic development and the improved living standards, more Chinese people, including many farmersand migrant workers, afford to travel by air. They can fly to all major cities, and many cities are also planning to build airports. Aviation services are constantly improving and special fares are often available. In recent years, there have been increasing numbers of people choosing to travel by air during holidays.2018年6月大学英语四级考试真题（第3套）参考答案Part I WritingThe booming development of economy and society has made it both possible and necessary for us to speak to a large number of people even in just one day. Therefore, speaking ability is becoming increasingly crucial in our daily life.In my eyes, two aspects can be explored to illustrate the above-mentioned point. For one thing, excellent speaking ability is beneficial for leaving a good impression on others, which will contribute to building a harmonious relationship in our general routine of everyday living. For another, this ability proves to be the first step to establish oneself in the fiercely competitive workplace, especially in the service industry. Those who boast outstanding speaking skills tend to win customers’ trust and thus obtain better work performance. On the contrary, those who are poor at speaking are inclined to do less well in dealing with customers.In light of what has been argued so far, speaking ability does matter a lot in our work and daily life. Therefore, schools are supposed to organize more relevant competitions and activities or even open some related courses to cultivate their students’ speaking ability.Part II Listening Comprehension注意：听力一共两套题，故第三套答案略Part IV TranslationBuses used to be the main means of transportation for Chinese people. In recent years, due to the continuous increase in the number of private cars, the traffic problems in cities have become more serious. Many cities have been trying to improve the service quality of buses in order to encourage more people to travel by bus. The facilities of the vehicles are constantly updated and the speed significantly improved, but the bus fare still remains quite low. Now, in most cities, many local elderly citizens can take buses for free.。

That is the strategic plan for Vietnam.Part 3 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)(Each item: 2)Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from thefour choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 71 to 75 are based on the same passage or dialog.At one time a traveler could learn about a region by looking at the houses. For example, he orshe could understand what building materials were available. In areas with many wood houses,the traveler would have guessed that there were nearby forests. Stone houses would haveindicated that stones were easy to get. However, a closer look at the houses would have told thetraveler even more about the area.People used to build houses that fitted the climate of their areas. For example, in desert regionsthere is a big difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures. Therefore, many desertpeople built houses with very thick walls. These thick walls served a useful purpose in thehouses. For example, in the winter the thick walls absorbed the sun's warmth during the dayand radiated the heat at night. Desert people were relatively comfortable in their homes, orresidences, at all times because they built them to fit the desert climate.Then the supply of fuel for electricity became both cheap and easy to get. The effect on housingwas immediate. People began to build their homes according to fashion instead of utility. Housesno longer reflected the availability of building materials or climate.http://211.70.144.17/quiz/take/index.php?QUIZID=40&whatToShow=Full 2014/11/2214/18 Houses with steep roofs could be found in the tropics, the warm regions of the Earth, even thoughthese pointed roofs originated in snowy regions of the world. Heavy snow falls off a slanted() roof. Another example is the use of glass. Houses made almost completely of glasscould be found in very cold places. Yet ordinary glass does not insulate () well because itneither keeps out cold air nor keeps in warm air. As long as fuel was cheap and easy to get,people could build any type of house any place.71. What are two things that a traveler could learn about an area by looking at the housesA. The climate is poor and so are the people living in it.B. The climate in the area and the kind of building materials easy for the people to reach.C. There is a forest nearby and they are on the top of a mountain.D. They are near a house and its owner is not there at the moment.72. The main idea of Paragraph 1 is that ________.A. wood is a forest productB. there are no stones in forestsC. houses used to tell about a regionD. people used to travel to learn about houses73. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that ________.A. thick walls absorb heat from the sunB. people built houses to fit the climateC. people are comfortable in their housesD. in the desert, daytime temperatures are lower than nighttime temperatures74. The main idea of Paragraphs 3 and 4 is that ________.A. heavy snow does not stay on steep roofsB. ordinary glass does not insulate wellC. fuel is used to produce electricityD. the supply of fuel affects home building75. What does "radiate" (Para. 2) meanA. Give off.B. Absorb.http://211.70.144.17/quiz/take/index.php?QUIZID=40&whatToShow=Full 2014/11/2215/18C. Gather.D. Consume.Questions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.The term "culture shock" has already begun to creep into the popular vocabulary. Culture shockis the effect that involvement in a strange culture has on the unprepared visitor. Culture shock iswhat happens when a traveler suddenly finds himself in a place where yes may mean no, wherea "fixed price" is negotiable, where to be kept waiting in an outer office is no cause for insult,where laughter may signify () anger.The culture shock phenomenon causes a breakdown in communication, a misreading of reality,an inability to cope. Yet culture shock is relatively mild in comparison with the much more seriousmalady (), future shock. Future shock is brought on by the premature arrival of the future. Itmay well be the most important disease of tomorrow.Take an individual out of his own culture and set him down suddenly in an environment sharplydifferent from his own, with a different set of cues to react to—different conceptions () oftime, space, work, love, religion, sex, and everything else, then the dislocation he suffers will besevere. Given few clues as to what kind of behavior is rational under the radically newcircumstances, the victim may well become a danger to himself and others.Now imagine not merely an individual but an entire society, an entire generation—including itsweakest, least intelligent, and most irrational members—suddenly transported into this new world.The result is mass disorientation (), future shock on a grand scale.This is the prospect that man now faces. Change is avalanching () upon ourheads and most people are unprepared to cope with it.76. Culture shock occurs when ________.A. one loses all hopes of returning to his home environmentB. one expresses ideas and emotions contrary to what he intends to expressC. one cannot make accurate judgment using one's own value standardsD. one cannot conduct negotiations for goods of fixed prices77. Future shock is much more serious than culture shock as ________.A. it concerns the problems of the futureB. it affects people on a grand scaleC. it causes personal insultshttp://211.70.144.17/quiz/take/index.php?QUIZID=40&whatToShow=Full 2014/11/2216/18D. it destroys the foundation of the society78. The word "cue" in Para. 3 most probably refers to something that ________.A. puzzles an individualB. disturbs an individual's normal way of lifeC. helps an individual to function in societyD. arouses an individual's interest in the new culture79. One effective way to prevent future shock is to ________.A. get people prepared for future changeB. keep people informed of foreign culturesC. have people resist possible future changeD. acquaint people with the harm of future change80. It can be inferred that the author's tone in the passage is ________.A. humorousB. exaggeratedC. radicalD. seriousQuestions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accusedof killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep theirnumbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Huntingconsists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs,followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it ora hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats andwhite trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly isexpensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the lastcouple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutalhttp://211.70.144.17/quiz/take/index.php?QUIZID=40&whatToShow=Full 2014/11/2217/18(), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind ofconfrontation () between hunters and hunt saboteurs (). Sometimes these incidentslead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbingthe trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they arealmost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit () of foxes itself. But this year supporters offox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament,Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wildanimals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under theban in Britain.81. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes ________.A. for recreationB. to limit the fox populationC. in the interests of the farmersD. to display their wealth82. What is special about fox hunting in BritainA. It involves the use of a deadly poison.B. It is a costly event which rarely occurs.C. The hunters have set rules to follow.D. The hunters have to go through strict training.83. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game ________.A. by resorting to violenceB. by taking legal actionC. by confusing the fox huntersD. by demonstrating on the scene84. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ________.A. prohibit farmers from hunting foxesB. forbid hunting foxes with dogsC. stop hunting wild animals in the countrysideD. prevent large-scale fox huntinghttp://211.70.144.17/quiz/take/index.php?QUIZID=40&whatToShow=Full 2014/11/2218/18 85. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. killing foxes with poison is illegalB. limiting the fox population is unnecessaryC. hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violentD. fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the richhttp://211.70.144.17/quiz/take/index.php?QUIZID=40&whatToShow=Full 2014/11/22。

《大学英语四》（重修）练习四.Part I. Reading comprehensionDirections: There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions, with four choices given for each question .Please decide on the best choice.Passage 1Television, the modern wonder of electronics, brings the world into your own home in sight and sound. And the word “television” means seeing far.Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio, sound is changed into electromagnetic waves which are sent through the air. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago. By the 1920s inventors and researches had turned the early theories into working models. Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become industry. The influence of TV on the life of the people is incalculable: it can influence their thoughts and their way of life. It can also add to their store of knowledge. Educational TV stations offer teaching in various subjects. Some hospitals use TV for medical students to get close-up views of operations. At first television programs were broadcast in black-and-white. With the development of science and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national networks were broadcasting most of their programs in color.The programs that people watch are not only local and national ones. Since the launching of the first communications satellite, more and more programs are telecast “live” from all over the world. People in San Francisco were able to watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo. And live telecasts now come from outer space. In 1969, the first astronauts to land on the moon televised their historic “moon walk” to viewers on the earth. Since then, astronauts have regul arly sent telecast to the earth.1. The launching of communications satellites made it possible for people in SanFrancisco to _________A.get close-up views of operationsB.store knowledgeC.watch the 1964 Olympic Games in TokyoD.watch national programs2. The development of science and technology made it possible for television programs to ______.A.be telecast in full colorB. be telecast in San FranciscoC. be telecast in TokyoD.be telecast in blank-and –white3. The word …incalculable‟ means______A.easy to tellB. very greatC. difficult to tellD. very small4. Television is said to be the modern wonder of electronics, because ________.A.it influences people‟s way of lifeB.it makes people see farC.it brings the world into people‟s ow n home in sight and soundD.it works as radio5. Television became an industry in_____A.1950B. the 1960sC. the 1920sD. the 1950sPassage 2It has been thought and said that Africans are born with musical talent. Because music is so important in the lives of many Africans and because so much music is performed in African, we are inclined to think that all Africans are musicians. The impression is strengthened when we look at ourselves and find that we have become largely a society of musical spectators （旁观者）. Music is important to us, but most of us can be considered consumers rather than producers of music. We have records, television, concerts, and radio to fulfill many of our musical needs. In most situations where music is performed in our culture, it is not difficult to distinguish the audience from the performers, but such is often not the case in Africa. Alban Ayipapa，Kasena semiprofessional musician from northern Ghana, says that when his flute and drum ensemble is performing, “an ybody can take part in.” This is true, but Kasena musicians recognize that not all people are equally capable of taking part in the music. Some can sing along with the drummers but relatively few can drum and even few can play the flute along with the ensemble. It is fairly common in Africa for there to be an ensemble of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping, singing, or somehow adding to the totality of musical sound. Performances often take place in an open area (that is, not on the stage) and so the lines between the performing nucleus and the additional performers, active spectators , and passive spectators may be difficult to draw from our point of view .1 The difference between us and Africans, as far as music is concerned, is that _________.A. most of us are consumers while most of them are producers of music.B. We are musical performers and they are semiprofessional musicians.C. Most of us are passive spectators while they are active spectators.D. We are the audience and they are the additional performers.2.
