I wonder if I should visit a doctor.W: Well, it could be due to muscle injuries. To play it safe, I think you should.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?12.M: Thomas is always late when we have a meeting. Maybe one of us should give him a ring each time.W: That’s really annoying. But I’ll volunteer.Q: What will the woman probably do?13.M: The restaurant doesn’t seem to be making ends meet this year. Don’t you think so?W: Yes, but there’s no competitor along this street. So it’s probably worthwhile to keep it running.Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?14.M: Would you like to drink another cup of tea?W: I’d be overdoing it if I had one more.Q: What does the woman mean?15.M: Will you be able to give me the report by tomorrow?W: Well, it still takes time to estimate the budget. But hopefully I will pull everything together.Q: What does the woman imply?16.M: Oh, my god, the soup dried up so fast!W: I told you not to keep the heat on high, didn’t I?Q: What did the woman suggest that the man do?17.M: That’s an awfully bad color for the bedroom.W: Well, that’s the color Tommy and Alice insisted on. You know how hard it is for them to make the same decision.Q: What does the woman imply about Tommy and Alice?18.M: The novel’s been selling like hot cakes since it was launched last month.W: I understand they will be running a second print soon.Q: What can be inferred about the book?Now you’ll hear two long conversations.Conversation OneM: Hi Janice, please come in and take a seat.W: Well, you would like to check the progress of the website-design, right?M: Yes, but it seems that we’ve got some problems with the BBS. The part-time web designer was not as good as what we had thought before. She informed us just now that she could not complete this task.W: Well, didn’t you talk with her about what she should do at the beginning?M: Not really. She was recommended by Jason and from what he told me, she sounded to be pretty qualified to do the job. I’m not asking for a terrific web design but to build up a structure with all the basic elements of web design.W: Did you ask her why she wasn’t frank with you in the beginning if she couldn’t do the BBS?M: I did. But she said it was a communication problem.W: So now what do you plan to do since she got the job half done?M: On one side, I will not pay her full fees since she wasn’t honest with me in the beginning. On the other side, I have to search around for another guy to complete the job.W: Agreed. That should also teach her a lesson. For us, I think we had better turn to our Part-time Job Center for help. There, we can get a professional to work at it.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. Why hasn’t the website been completed?20. What was the website designer not honest about?21. How did the man deal with the dishonest website designer?22. What does the woman suggest about the following steps to be taken?Conversation TwoM: Look at all the equipment here. They must be used for some kind of sport.W: You are right. They are for climbing mountains. Have you ever tried that before?M: No, never, have you?W: Almost for two years.M: Two years? Wow! What was it like the first time?W: Well, you’ve got to take it step by step even though you are anxious to do certain indoor practice at first.M: Isn’t it a bit dangerous? I heard that a 20-year-old colleague student lost his life when climbing the cliff the other day.W: Yes, it does happen from time to time, most often by people who just trywhen they are not yet ready for any risk.M: Are there any climbing clubs for freshmen to join then?W: Yes, for sure. But you need time to pick out the best one. Nowadays, too many of these climbing clubs are too eager to initiate trips without checking properly the skill levels of the climbers.M: Well, anyway, Katrina, thanks for your kind suggestion. I have to leave for class now.W: My pleasure. See you then.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. Where did the conversation probably take place?24. According to the woman, why do most climbing accidents occur?25. What is important for freshmen to do before climbing?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneStress comes in all shapes and sizes and it’s hard to get through a day without hearing or reading something about stress. Some doctors refer to stress as some kind of new plague. However, numerous surveys confirm that the problem has been progressively serious since the 1980s. Stress is an unavoidable consequence of life. Without stress, there could be no life. However, just as distress can cause disease, there are good stresses that offset this, and promote wellness. Increased stress results in increased productivity – up to a point. However, this level differs for each of us. We all need to find the proper level of stress that promotes optimal performance. Good health is more than just the absence of illness. Rather, it is a very robust state of physical and emotional well being that acknowledges the importance and inseparability of mind and body relationships. Later, in the nextprogram, I hope you will join me in the pursuit of learning how to harness stress, so that it can work for you and make you more productive.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What aspect of stress is the talk mainly about?27. How can we deal with stress according to the doctor?28. What will the doctor do in the next program?Passage TwoMany people think that sitting is easier on their backs than standing or lifting. Not true. People whose jobs require them to sit for long periods of time suffer as much from back pain as people who lift all day long. Many world-class researchers believe that the huge increase in back pain over the past couple of decades – and it is huge – has a lot to do with the fact that more and more of us are spending our work days in chairs. A lot of people have the notion that, if their back pain gets bad enough, they can always resort to surgery. Nothing could be further from the truth. The amount of pain someone has has very little to do with whether or not he or she would benefit from surgery. One British researcher has estimated that for every 10,000 people who experience back pain, only four need surgery. Not very many years ago, back pain patients were routinely put to bed, sometimes for weeks or months. No longer. Two or three days of bed-rest is now the norm. After that, people are advised to return to their normal activities, gradually if necessary. The reasons for the 180°shift are interesting. For starters, if you stay in bed, your muscle strength can decline by as much as three percent a day.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. What misunderstanding about back pain do people hold in the beginning?30. What role does surgery play in curing back pain?31. Why don’t back pain patients get put to bed for more than two or three days?Passage ThreeNo one knows who made the first ice cream. Some people think that water ices and milk ices may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and fourthousand years ago. In time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, may have passed on the secret to the Arabs and the Persians. The Persians called their dish sharbat, from which our word sherbet comes. Marco Polo, an Italian who traveled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular, first in Venice and then throughout Italy. In 1533, when Catherine de Medici left Italy to marry the future Kind Henry Ⅱof France, she took her cooks with her. They made desserts the French had never tasted before. Among them was “ice cream”. For each day of the wedding festivities Catherine’s cooks prepared a different flavor of her favorite dessert - “ice cream”. At first ice cream was a luxury in France. Only rich people had the money to buy it. Then, in 1660, a young man from Sicily, Francisco Procopio, arrived in Paris. He opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could afford. Procopio’s “ice cream parlor” became so popular that other shops were opened. About 1640, King CharlesⅠintroduced ice cream to England. He had heard it was the rage in Italy and France. He served ice cream for dessert at a banquet. The surprise dish was a great success. The king ordered his cook to keep the recipe for ice cream a secret. Charles felt that only royalty should be served the dessert. But the secret soon leaked out. Ice cream quickly became the rage in England too.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. What is the passage mainly about?33. According to the passage, who made the first ice cream?34. When did ice cream become popular in Italy?35. Why did Charles order his cook to keep the recipe for ice cream a secret?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main pointsin your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.The Romans built great “aqueducts” to carry fresh water from the mountains to the cities. Many of these aqueducts are still standing today. The Roman (36) Emperors even set up a (37) government health service. They built the first great public hospitals in Europe, and they paid doctors to look after poor people.When the Roman Empire fell to pieces, these (38) civilized methods of treatment (39) disappeared from most of Europe, for more than a thousand years. People went back to the old ways. They lived in dirty conditions, which helped to cause diseases; and they asked God to cure the (40) diseases. They shut up (41) mentally sick people in prisons. Or they burnt them alive because they were supposed to have (42) magic powers. But the work of the Greek and Roman doctors was not lost.Over a thousand years ago, the Arabs moved into many of the (43) Mediterranean countries. They took big parts of the old Roman lands. (44) They translated the Greek and Roman medical books into Arabic. Arab doctors themselves made many new discoveries.(45) When civilization at last came back to Europe, men once again translated the Greek and Roman works on medicine into Latin. Slowly, European doctors discovered again the things that the Greeks and Romans had known so long ago. (46) Slowly, they began to make new discoveries and found out more about the way the body works.。

You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline below:1. 社交媒体的定义及其普及程度2. 社交媒体对个人生活的影响3. 社交媒体对社会交流的影响4. 你对社交媒体的看法The Influence of Social MediaSocial media refers to the websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking. In recent years, social media has become increasingly popular and widely used. It has had a significant impact on both individuals and society.Firstly, social media has greatly influenced personal lives. People can now easily connect with friends and family, no matter the distance between them. They can share their thoughts, photos, and videos instantly, which enhances communication and strengthens relationships. However, excessive reliance on social media can also lead to a sense of isolation and addiction. Many people find themselves spending too much time scrolling through social media feeds, neglecting real-life interactions.Secondly, social media has revolutionized social communication. It provides a platform for people to express their opinions and raise awarenessabout important issues. Social media plays a pivotal role in sparking social movements and promoting activism. Furthermore, businesses and organizations utilize social media to connect with their audience and advertise their products or services.In my opinion, social media is a double-edged sword. While it brings convenience and opportunities for connection, it also poses risks to personal privacy and mental health. It is crucial for individuals to maintain a balanced and healthy relationship with social media, using it as a tool to enhance their lives rather than as a substitute for real-life interactions. Meanwhile, society should also be aware of the negative impacts of social media and take measures to ensure its responsible use.Overall, the influence of social media is undeniable. It has changed the way we communicate, share information, and view the world. As users of social media, we should embrace its benefits while being mindful of its potential drawbacks.。

Putting them directly in front of the window would be a good idea.Q: What does the woman imply?13.M: Oh, I am terribly sorry. I will pay the bill for your new blouse’s cleaning.W: Don’t worry about it. It could happen to anyone…you didn’t do it deliberately. And I am sure that orange juice won’t stain the fiber.Q: What can be inferred about the woman?14.M: You haven’t seen a black notebook, have you? I really hope I didn’t leave it in the classroom.W: Did you check that pile of books and papers you put on the desk last night?Q: What does the woman imply?15.W: I have been in bed for days because of a bad cold. Fortunately, some interesting and uptodate magazines have accompanied me.M: Well, I will rush into the bookstore and buy you more.Q: What will the man probably do?16.W: I need a place to live next term. The ride back and forth to class everyday makes me very tired.M: Did you check out the North Dorm? The rooms are large and with good equipment. What’s more, the rent is very reasonable.Q: What does the man mean?17.W: I hope I will be able to find Tina’s little sister at the bus station. All I know is that she is seven years old and has long hair.M:I could go with you. I met her a couple of years ago.Q: What does the man imply about Tina’s little sister?18.W: We got a thank-you note from Julie this morning. She said she has already received the T-shirt we sent.M: That’s great. But I am not very sure if she likes the color red.Q: What does the man care about?Now you will hear the two long conversations.Conversation One:M: I really have no idea what to do during this summer holiday. I can’t bear to just sit around, and there seem to be no jobs available.W: Why don’t you try house-sitting? Last summer my friend Tom house-sat forthe Alexanders when they went away on vacation. Mr. Alexander hired Tom to stay in their house because he didn’t want it left empty.M: You mean the Alexanders paid Tom just to live in their house?W: It certainly wasn’t that easy. He had to mow the lawn and water the houseplants and also feed the pets. And when Boris house-sat for Mr. Alexander, he had to help him with his farm.M: I heard about baby-sitting, and house-sitting sounds just like it---except you’re taking care of a house instead of children. It may be a suitable job for me.W: The student employment office still has a few jobs posted.M: Do I just have to fill out an application form?W: Yes, and Tom and Boris had to interview with the homeowners and provide three references each.M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.W: Well, the homeowners want some guarantee that they can trust the house-sitter. You know, they want to make sure you’re not the type who’ll throw wild parties in their house, or move a group of friends in with you.M: House-sitters who do that sort of thing probably aren’t paid then.W: Usually they’re paid anyway just because the homeowners don’t want to make a fuss. But if the homeowner reported it, then the house-sitter wouldn’t be able to get another job. So why don’t you give it a try?M: Yeah, I think I will.Questions 19-22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What does the man want to do this summer?20. What did the Alexanders do when they went away on holiday last summer?21. What is one responsibility the house-sitter probably wouldn’t have?22. How do homeowners determine the reliability of a house-sitter?Conversation Two:W: Good morning, sir.M: Good morning. I wonder if you can help. I have lost my coat.W: Where did you lose it, sir?M: Er… I left it on the …um… on the ground yesterday morning.W: Can you describe it?M: Well, it’s a full-length brown overcoat with a checkered pattern on it. It’s got a wide belt, and one of those thick furry collars that keep your ears warm. It’s a very nice coat, actually.W: Hmm. I’m afraid we haven’t got anything like that, sir. Sorry.M: Well, to tell you the truth, I lost another coat last week. On the bus. It’s a three-quarter length coat- it’s grey, with big black buttons and a black belt.W: Sorry, sir. Nothing like that.M: Hmm. And then only this morning I left my white raincoat in a park. It’s got a silk lining…W: Look, sir. I’m very busy now. If you really need a coat so badly, there’s a very good second-hand clothes shop just round the corner…Questions 23-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. Where did the conversation probably happen?24. What can we infer about the man?25. What did the woman think of the man?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneJudo is a sport for two players. The sport is governed by strict rules of politeness. Before and after a match the players must bow to each other. A match is won on points or superior play. A player wins a point when he holds his opponent on his back so that he is unable to move for thirty seconds; when he forces his opponent to give up by using strangleholds or armlocks; and when he makes a clean throw. Aplayer wins a half point when he holds his opponent down for only twenty-five seconds. Kicking, hitting, and gouging are not allowed. A referee watches the players and decides who wins each point. The player who wins the necessary amount of points first wins the match. A contest or match may last up to twenty minutes.Judo requires much physical training and instruction. Training takes place in a dojo, or gym area. In the Orient, players practice on straw mats. In Western countries a canvas wrestling mat can be used. The players wear cotton jackets and trousers circled by colored belts. A beginner wears a white belt and a more accomplished player a brown belt. Experts wear a black belt.Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. According to the following statements, which one is not the way to wina point for a Judo player in a match?27. Which action is allowed in a Judo match?28. How does a player win in a Judo match?29. Which kind of belt would an expert Judo player wear in a match?Passage TwoOne of the most important fields in veterinary medicine is medical research. Experiments with animals have led to discoveries that save many human lives. Cancer, heart disease, and other crippling illnesses are studied in animals. Vaccines and serums are always tested on animals before they are used on humans. Vaccines for tetanus, measles, and polio were used first on animals.Veterinarians have made many life-saving discoveries. For example, the research of one veterinarian, on the sweet-clover disease in cattle, led to the discovery of dicoumarol. Dicoumarol prevents blood from clotting and is used in treating human heart disease.Veterinarians have made many contributions to the exploration of space. Dogs, mice, and chimpanzees are often used to test the effects of varying atmospheric pressure on animal life before human beings are sent into space. Veterinarians study the animals carefully for the effects of space travel on their bodies. The results of these studies are used in preparing men to go into space and contribute to thesafety of the astronauts.Veterinarians share responsibility for the health and safety of our food. Their work in the cure and prevention of animal diseases has done a great deal to ensure us wholesome poultry, meat, and milk.Veterinarians are also important in the fur industry, for animals must be healthy and well cared for if they are to grow glossy coats. Veterinarians are needed to take care of the animals in zoos and circuses. At racetracks, they inspect the dogs and horses to make sure that they have not been drugged or abused. Frequently, veterinarians are employed by the government to treat and study the wildlife in national parks and game preserves.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30. Which is the most important field in veterinary medicine?31. Before sending astronauts into space, what must be done in advance for veterinarians in a veterinary lab to help to test the safety?32. According to the passage, for what kind of animals do veterinarians not take necessary responsibility?Passage ThreeHotels go far back into history. There may have been inns as long ago as 500 B.C., when adventurous Greeks began to roam the world. There were hotels at Pompeii, too. Their damaged foundations were discovered in the 1800’s, but they tell very little of how these hotels were operated.We have information about hotels in the Orient in the thirteenth century. Trade routes from Egypt and Europe into Asia were well traveled by merchants and their followers. Places in which these travelers could find shelter for the night gradually grew up along the way. At first they were only plots of ground near a spring. A little later the plots of ground were enclosed within high walls for the protection of the travelers. Still later, roofs were built over the walls. As civilization progressed, so did hotels. In time, they began to serve food and drink.During the early Middle Ages, inns were extremely important. When civilization was centered in southern Europe and in the East, travelers who livedat great distances from one another met in inns. Travel then was a leisurely affair, and people spent days exchanging news and comments. They discussed the customs of their different countries and told one another facts, fables, poems, and stories. This word- of- mouth exchange played a great part in the spread of civilization.The first inn to be identified by a particular name was the Great St. Bernard, established about 962 A.D. It was located in the Alps for the convenience of weary pilgrims on their way to Rome. It was a massive stone structure offering shelter for approximately three hundred people and capable of supplying beds for seventy to eighty travelers. The Great St. Bernard was first in another way too. It was the first inn to offer special service to travelers—in this case, the famous dogs kept by the monks to track down travelers who had lost their way.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. To when can the earliest hotel be traced back?34. According to the passage, when civilization was centered in southern Europe and in the East, which of the functions was the most important for the hotels?35. In the first inn with a particular name, what was the special service for travelers?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.City traffic is a great problem. More cars are produced every year and the streets are getting more and more crowded. So during “rush hour”, when people are going to or from their work, traffic is brought to a (36)standstill. It has been suggested that (37)commuters should share their cars and give each other lifts. Soeach car would carry four or five people instead of only one. It is an excellent idea; however, so far nobody has been able to think of a way to(38) compel people to do so.To (39)discourage motorists from leaving their cars on the streets all day,(40)parking meters are used. When you park at a meter, you must put a coin in the(41)slot. This pays for a certain amount of time. The meter (42)records this and it shows when the time that you have paid for is expired. If the car is still there, you have to pay a fine.Traffic (43)wardens look after the meters. They walk around the streets and check that every meter shows that money has been paid for the car parked there. (44)If a meter registers “Time expired”, the motorist who has left his car will be fined. Of course, the traffic warden cannot wait for the owner of the car to return. (45)He carries a block of printed forms, and on one of these he writes down all the details, such as the amount the driver must pay and to where he must send the money. He leaves this form on the car where the driver will be able to see it easily. (46)He usually pushes it under one of the wind shield wipers so that it will not blow away. And in case it rains before the motorist returns, the form is put in a little plastic envelope to protect it. When the driver comes back, he gets an unpleasant surprise, but it is his own fault for leaving his car for too long at a parking meter.。

W: It’s nearly ten o’clock. Let’s listen to the weather forecast.M: Here’s the weather forecast. Fog is spreading from the east and will affect all areas by midnight. It’ll be heavy in certain places.Q: What is the weather forecast?15. M: This cake’s delicious! Did you make it yourself?W: You must be kidding! My sister got it from the bakery.Q: What does the woman mean?16. W: I’m worried about those classes I missed whenI was sick.M: I’ll try to bring you up to date on what we’ve done.Q: What does the man mean?17. W: Roger, your voice teacher called to ask why you were not at practice for your concert program.M: I was there but I was standing with a large group and he didn’t see me.Q: Why did the teacher not see Roger at the practice?18. M: The telegram just came from Mary. She will arrive at 2 o’clock.W: Oh, good. She can rest a few hours before the concert.Q: What can Mary do before the concert?Now you’ll hear two long conversations.Conversation OneW: Could you tell me how big a class is?M: In this department, a class could be as small as 5 students or as large as over 200. The largest classes are lecture classes, usually in introductory courses at the undergraduate level. The normal size of a class is 20 to 40 students who meet 3times a week for about one hour or twice a week for about one hour and a half.W: In what forms are classes given?M: Generally speaking, classes are given in three formats---lectures, seminars and laboratory work. Lecture courses usually include two lecture sessions and one discussion group per week. Lectures are given by professors who will talk on specific topic for one class period. Students have little chance to ask questions. Discussions are conducted by postgraduates and provide the opportunity for questions about the lecture topics.W: How about seminars?M: Seminars involve a small group of students and place more responsibility on them. The professor leading a seminar may assign projects, post questions, make suggestions or describe specific cases that demand a solution. Students are free to exchange their ideas. The seminar challenges students’reasoning and organizing abilities.W: And laboratory work?M: Laboratory work gives students opportunities to develop their skills with the use of certain tools or sophisticated lab equipment and to improve their labtechniques.W: They all sound interesting to me. Do you know how we’re assessed?M: Some professors give quizzes or short examinations during the course to test on a particular aspect of the subject. Other course examinations are mid-term exams and final exams, which include multiple-choice questions, short answer questions and essay questions. Research papers are another form of examination. Have I made myself clear to you?W: Yes. I understand now. Thank you. Dr. Wilson.M: You’re welcome.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19.

I’m doing okay, but school has been really hard these days, and I haven’t had time to relax.W: By the way, what’s your major anyway?M: Hotel management.W: Well, what do you want to do after you graduate?M: Uh... I haven’t decided for sure, but I think I’d like to work for a hotel or travel agency in this area. How about you?W: Well, when I first started college, I wanted to major in French, but I realized I might have a hard time finding a job using the language, so I changed to computer science. With the right skills, landing a job in the computer industry shouldn’t be as difficult.M: So do you have a part-time job to support yourself through school?W: Well, fortunately for me, I received a four-year academic scholarship that pays for all of my tuition and books.M: Wow, that’s great.W: Yeah. How about you? Are you working your way through school?M: Yeah. I work three times a week all at a restaurant near campus.W: Oh. What do you do there?M: I’m a cook.W: How do you like your job?M: It’s okay. The other workers are friendly, and the pay isn’t bad.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.22. What does the man want to do after he graduates?23. Why did the woman change her major?24. How does the woman pay for college?25. What can be learnt about the man’s part-time job?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OneIn phone booths in the U. S., there are usually directions for using the telephone. All phone numbers haveseven digits, though letters and numbers are sometimes used in combination. There may be phonebooks or directories under the telephone.There are two main kinds of long distance calls:dial-direct and operator-assisted. You can make dial direct calls in most parts of the U.S. Look in the white page directory for long distance rates or more information on making long distance calls. Or you can call the operator for help. If you need a phone number that is not in your phone book, call Directory Assistance.To make a long distance call, you’ll need to know the three-digit area code. Dial 1 plus the area code plus the number, and an operator or a computer voice will tell you how much money to deposit. On operator assisted calls, the operator will ask you to deposit more money before your time is up. On dial-direct calls you’ll be cut off at the end of the time you paid for unless you put more money in the slot.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What do all telephone numbers have?27. What should you do to make a long distance call?28. What can you find in the white pages of atelephone book?Passage TwoMost people think that the older you get, the harder it is to learn a new language. That is why they believe that children learn more easily than adults. Thus, at some point in our lives, maybe around age twelve or thirteen we lose the ability to learn language well. Is it true that children learn a foreign language more easily than adults? One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish, showed that the teenagers learned more, in less time, than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed that the ability to learn a language increases as the age increases from childhood to adulthood. There are several possible explanations for these results. For one thing, adults know more about the world and therefore are able to understand meanings more easily than children. Moreover, adults can use logical thinking to help themselves in learning a new language. Finally adults have more self-control than children.Therefore, it seems that the common belief that children are better learners than adults may not be true.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. According to this talk, what’s the common belief about learning a new language?30. Name the two reports mentioned in the talk.31. What qualities do adults have that make learning a new language easier for them?Passage ThreeToday I would like to continue our discussion of American diplomatic history of the 18th century by talking about the pioneer named William Johnson. Sir William Johnson helped to establish friendly relations between the British colonists and the Iroquois nation during the middle of the 18th century. Johnson came to New York State from England in 1737 and soon became a large land-holder. He got along well with the Iroquois. Some of them lived on his land and it became a center of trade. Johnson sought land and furs, but was generous to his neighbors. With his skill of a diplomat Johnson often spent time negotiating among the various Indian groups. Largely because of his work the Iroquois aided the British in their struggles against the French in 1756. Later, however, there was a disagreement with the Iroquois. Johnson, who had been an official in the colonial government, was called in to negotiate a treaty regarding land boundary between theIroquois and the English and French settlers in the area. Since Johnson died in 1774 he did not have to face the turmoil of the American Revolution.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. What is the main topic of the lecture?33. Where was Johnson born?34. What was the treaty with the Iroquois about?35. When did Johnson die?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered form 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.In November 1965, New York was blacked out by anelectricity failure. The (36) authorities promised that it would not happen again. Pessimists were certain that it would occur again within five years at the latest. In July 1977, there was a repeat performance which (37) produced varying degrees of chaos throughout the city of eight million people. In 1965, the failure occurred in the cool autumn and at a time of (38) comparative prosperity. In 1977, the disaster was much more serious because it came when unemployment was high and the city was suffering from one of its worst heat waves.In 1965, there was little crime or looting during the darkness, and fewer than a hundred people were (39) arrested. In 1977, hundreds of stores were broken into and looted. Looters (40) smashed shop windows and helped themselves to (41) jewelry, clothes or television sets. Nearly 4,000 people were arrested but far more (42) disappeared into the darkness of the night. The number of policemen available was quite (43) inadequate and they wisely refrained from using their guns against mobs (44) which far outnumbered them and included armed men.Hospitals had to treat hundreds of people cut by glass from shop windows. Banks and most businesses remained closed the next day. (45) The blackout started at 9:30 p. m.,when lightning hit and knocked out vital cables. Many stores were thus caught by surprise.The vast majority of New Yorkers, however, were not involved in looting. (46) They helped strangers, distributed candles and batteries, and tried to survive in a nightmare world without traffic lights, refrigerators, elevators, water and electrical power. For twenty-four hours, New York realized how helpless it was without electricity.【《。

Each passage is followed bysome questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:According to Forrester Research, 8.6 million online shoppers access the Internetvia a high-speed connection, compared to 12 million using dial-up. Taken alone,those findings are hardly groundbreaking. What’s noteworthy is the rest of thepicture that emerges from that study: Those broadband users are younger, richer, and better informed than their narrowband counterparts. They spend more time and money online and are more likely to buy customized products and services.So why hasn’t the Internet become the focus for broadband companies seeking toestablish relationships with a demographic that has demonstrated a preference for their product? Simply put, until recently, their attempts fell flat.Just over a year ago, our agency launched an online performance-based e-marketing campaign to promote a broadband service. Despite engaging creative and a compelling offer, it met with resounding silence. Six months later, the response was only marginally better.So we were only cautiously optimistic two months later when we launched anothercampaign for the same advertiser, using the same offer. This time, it was a success. Response rates tripled and the customer acquisition cost dropped from $300 to under $100.Clearly, the floodgates have opened and the most sought-after consumers are rushing through to broadband. And while the surge in response wasn’t a complete surprise given the emphasis placed on marketing broadband services, it was enough to make us curious about what other factors were at play.What we discovered was a scenario where so many people have experienced broadband’s superiority at work, school, and even in friends’homes that they know what they’re missing.According to U.S. News & World Report, some 20 million households nationwide nowhave broadband, with another 100,000 signing up each week. That saturation hascreated a market of increasingly discontent dial-up subscribers for broadband companies to reach.Imagine the impact when -- as dial-up users impatiently wait for Web pages to load -- an ad pops up promising lightning-fast access. Their response starts an ongoing relationship managed through newsletters and other e-mail communications designed to keep them informed about value-added services, special promotions, etc. Not only is it a demographic pre-disposed to online CRM, it is also one that isfar from oversold. In fact, less than one-third of U.S. households will subscribe to a broadband service by 2006. And as services designed specifically for broadband increase and support for dial-up declines, the 42 percent of Internet users who said they didn’t need broadband will become receptive to a well-focused CRM program. But it won’t last forever. While the window of opportunity to reach broadband buyers online is open, it’s not likely to stay that way. Broadband may be the current heir apparent for connectivity, but wireless has given every indication it will be a sleeper hit, emerging from nowhere to take the top spot.In short, the time for broadband companies to establish online customer relationships is now -- before the window slams shut.21. What is NOT mentioned as the result of Forrester Research in the first paragraph? A) A lot of online shoppers access the Internet by broadband.B) Broadband users get more information than the dial-up users.C) It is probable for broadband users to buy the products specially made for them. D) It is the first time for people to find out the number of broadband and narrowband users.22. What did the online performance-based e-marketing campaign bring at first?A) The promotion of a broadband service.B) Cautious responses.C) No response at all.D) Some marginal responses.23. Why did another campaign become a success later?A) Because the agency has used a compelling offer.B) Because people have enjoyed the broadband’s advantages in their daily life.C) Because the agency has spent a lot of money on the advertisements.D) Because people become curious about the broadband.24. It can be inferred from the passage that____.A) Few is likely to use dial-up in the future.B) Broadband companies should establish online customer relationships now.C) About 20 million households nationwide now have broadband.D) People design more services specially for broadband.25. What is the main idea of this passage?A) How Forrester Research got the valuable information.B) Why people want to use broadband.C) How broadband services find success in online CRM.D) Broadband services have great influence on people.Passage 2Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:The following passage is an opening speech by Lord Weidenfeld, founder of the Europaeum and Chairman, Weidenfeld and Nicolson Publishers I am very privileged and gratified to talk to you today. I think it is most appropriate to have this meeting at the Humboldt University, Berlin, because of the impulse to the creation to the European network, to the sequence of events, and that great turning point of history, which is symbolised by the fall of the Berlin wall. It was that particular impulse that started an enterprise to bring together teachers and students in, first of all, Western European Universities to offer resources to those universities which had only recently emerged in other parts of Europe. So we started the Europaeum network. Six universities joined us initially. We then approached the University of Prague to join us for the beginning of an enlargement, which would also to include universities previously behind the Iron Curtain. The group that we assembled around the Europaeum logo is by no means exclusive and we would very much like to enlarge it. The term ’variable geometry’ is very fashionable in international politics, but I think it also applies to our intentions, we want it to expand and include other universities either as full members or associates so free standing research institutes.Thanks to the generosity of our German sponsor DaimlerChrysler, particularly theDavies Group of the organization, Dr Klaus Mangold and Dr Bensel, we are now engaging in a study of the roles of the universities in the future. We have a number of ideas regarding how to set about answering these three major questions: What is the future role of the university? If we have established what it is, how do we equip it to produce the resources and do its job and what role does it play in our society? We hope to have a number of ongoing conferences and exchanges of views on the subject thanks to the friendly and co-operation of Humboldt University.We are now in a new era since 11 September. I think that one day we will regardthat approximate decade from the fall of the wall in Berlin and the destructionof the World Trade Centre in New York. Here it is important that we play our role. In what we now see in the plateau of Central Southeast Asia, a holy alliance of barbarism, fanaticism and high tech product of the information society. The University, by having as a component an important dosage of humanism, makes all the difference between a Robespierre like revolution or a continuation of the human spirit with the new resources and tools, carefully husbanded, monitored and controlled.Thanks to President of Humboldt University, Professor Michael Kreile, ProfessorPera, Paul Flather and colleagues.26. What is the attitude of the speaker toward the development of Europaeum?A) Europaeum is open to almost all universities.B) Europaeum is exclusive to some enterprises.C) Europaeum is open only to research institutes.D) Europaeum is exclusive to any other universities.27. What can be concluded about the Europaeum logo from the first paragraph?A) Being no exclusive.B) Bringing together teachers and students in Western European Universities.C) Enlarging Europaeum.D) Having variable geometry.28. What is the subject of this conference?A) How to equip a university to produce the resources.B) How to enlarge a university to some extent.C) How to cooperate with other universities.D) A study of the roles of the universities in the future.29. What kind of organization does the speaker hope to have?A) An organization in which they play an important role.B) An organization full of humanism.C) An organization of revolution.D) An organization full of information.30. What is the purpose of the organization?A) To continue and develop human spirit with new resources and tools.B) To exchange views with different universities.C) To unite universities and enterprises.D) To create the European network to continue humanism.Passage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:When a heart-lung machine was invented that could take over the job of the heart, put oxygen into the blood and keep the circulation going during surgery, surgeons could stop the heart while they were cutting and suturing. Recently, in certain cases, some surgeons have begun operating without the pump while the heart continues to beat.“The benefits of off-pump surgery are tremendous for patients who meet the criteria for this procedure,” says Dr. Jim Zellner with the Alliance of Cardiac, Thoracic and Vascular Surgeons. “There is less need for blood products, less chance of complicati ons during and after surgery, earlier recovery and earlier return to regular activity.”Seawood Murray feels he was led by God to find Dr. Zellner and Memorial Hospitaland to have off-pump surgery.A veteran of the United States Navy as a nuclear weapons security officer and commanding officer of a mine assembly group for more than 31 years, Seawood has never complained about stress or pain. He saw three tours of duty off the coast ofVietnam.However, after suffering from chest pain for almost a year and being misdiagnosed with chronic heartburn, Seawood knew something was seriously wrong. At the Veteran’s hospital in Murfreesboro, he learned he had heart disease and was told to come back in six weeks.“I didn’t want to wait that long and asked for a referral to The Chattanooga Heart Institute,”Seawood says. “Dr. Noel Hunt found that 40% of my heart was not getting the amount of blood it needed to operate properly.”Four days later, Seawood was undergoing off-pump triple bypass surgery at Memorial Hospital under the hand of Dr. Zellner.“I was sitting up that evening, walking around the second day and feeling goodenough to go home the third day, but I stayed till the fourth morning,” Seawoodsays. “Two others who had on-pump bypass surgery the same day I had mine off-pump were barely walking when I left.”31. How do surgeons usually operate on a heart-attacker according to the passage?A) They operate without a pump.B) They operate with a heart-lung machine.C) They operate by stopping the heart.D) They operate with nothing but cutting and suturing.32. Which of the following statements is NOT the benefit of off-pump surgery?A) The heart-attack patients will be recovered in one day.B) There are fewer chances for heart-attack patients to suffer from other new diseases during the course of hear attack.C) Off-pump surgery needs fewer blood products.D) The heart-attack patients will be well again earlier.33. What’s wrong with Seawood Murray?A) He suffered from chronic heartburn.B) He suffered from heart attack.C) He had three tours of duty off the coast of Vietnam.D) His heart couldn’t get blood it needed to operate.34. What did Dr. Zellner do for Seawood Murray’s disease?A) Dr. Zellner gave him a surgery with a heart-lung machine..B) Dr. Zellner diagnosed his disease as chronic heartburn.C) Dr. Zellner gave him an off-pump triple bypass surgery.D) Dr. Zellner referred him to another hospital.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A) Seawood Murray could hardly walk four days after the surgery.B) Seawood Murray got recovered more slowly than other patients.C) Seawood Murray felt well and went home the third day after the surgery.D) Seawood Murray went home the fourth day after the surgery.Passage 4Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:The key element to successful interviewing is not your experience, your grades,what classes you took, your extracurricular activities, or any of the other basic necessities. Those skills are what got you the interview. The key element to uccessful interviewing can be summed up in one word: attitude. If you want to rise above others with better experience, better grades, orbetter anything, you will need to work on developing a highly positive work attitude.Your attitude determines whether you will “make the cut” or be discarded. Remember, there are plenty of competitors with the ability to do almost any given job-- especially at the entry level. The way most employers differentiate at the entry level is b y candidates’ attitudes toward the job. Your attitude is often what recruiters will remember when the dust has settled after reviewing ten, twenty, or even one hundred candidates--the one who was sincerely willing to put forth his very best effort. If you have the attitude of wanting to do your very best for the company, of being focused on the company’s needs, of putting yourself forth as the person who will be committed and dedicated to fulfilling their needs, you will likely be the one chosen.Why is attitude so important? Because most companies already have their full share of multi-talented superstars who care about no one but themselves. Ask any manager who the most valuable member of his team is, and he will point not to the overrated superstar, but to the person who has the “can do” attitude, the person who can be counted on in any situation, the person who truly strives for excellence. Give me a team player who is achieving at 99% and I will take her over a flashy superstar who is running at 50% efficiency any day of the week. And so will 99% of all hiring managers.So don’t worry if you are not “superstar”quality. If you can show me, in your words and actions, that you are ready to put forth your very best effort toward achieving excellence, you will be chosen over the superstar.You can show your winning attitude in the way you present yourself. Incorporatethe actual words “positive attitude,” “excellence,” and “striving to be mybest” into your interview language. Then show by your stories and examples howthese words positively affect your life. Show me when and where and how you haveput forth extra effort above and beyond the call of duty. Show me how you beata deadline, how you excelled in a project, or how you made a difference by goingthe extra mile.If you can show me, by words and examples, your “can do” attitude, it is you I will hire, while all of the superstars will receive polite rejection letters toadd to their growing collections.36.

Section B Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B) C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center. Passage One Besides private bills, there are also public bills that must be paid. Public bills are paid for by the government. In turn, we get these services through taxes. What would happen if everyone in the city stopped paying taxes? The water supply would stop. Water might even become unclean and impure. The streets might not be cleaned. There would be no police force to protect people and property. Schools would be closed. People would become sick and diseases might spread. We would not want to live in such a city. We all want pure water and food, clean streets and good schools. We want the police to protect us from crime. The chief duty of every government is to protect persons and property. More than three fourths of the money spent by our government is used for this purpose. The next large amount of public money goes to teach and train our citizens. Billions of dollars each year are spent on schools and libraries. Public money is used to pay the teachers and all the public officials. Also, a large amount of public funds is spent on roads. The greatest part of the needed funds is raised by taxes. Tax is money that we all must pay to support the government. The law orders us to pay taxes. We have no choice in this matter. Almost everyone pays some tax in one form or another. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. How does the government pay for public bills? 27. According to the speaker, what would happen if nobody in the city paid taxes? 28. Which of the following costs the largest amount of public money according to the speaker? Passage Two America’s national symbol, the bald eagle, almost went extinct twenty years ago, but it has made a comeback. In fact, the U.S. Fish and Wild Life Service is considering the possibility of taking it off the Endangered Species List. Once, more than fifty thousand pairs of bald eagles nested across the country, but by 1960 that number had fallen below four hundred. The chief killer was the widely used DDT. Fish soaked up DDT, died, and were washed up on the shores, where bald eagles feasted on them. DDT prevented eagle eggshells from thickening. The shells became so thin that they shattered before the babies hatched. Fortunately, in 1972, a law was passed to ban DDT, which saved the bald eagle from total wipeout. And since then, wild-life biologists have reintroduced bald eagles from Canada to America. The result was that last year, U.S. bird watchers counted eleven thousand six hundred and ten bald eagles in the country. If it were dropped from the Endangered Species List, the bald eagle would still be a threatened species. That means the bird would continue to get the same protection. No hunting allowed, and no disturbing of nests. But bald eagles still face tough times. The destruction of their natural homes could be the next DDT causing eagle numbers to drop quickly. Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. What was the main harmful effect of the pest killer DDT on bald eagles? 30. What measure did wild-life biologists take to increase the number of bald eagles? 31. According to the speaker, what is the possible danger facing bald eagles? Passage Three A few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap, a division between young people and their elders. Parents complained that their children did not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life-styles. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and approve of and often to continue the family occupation. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, and choose occupations different from those of their parents. In our modern society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did; to find better jobs, to make moremoney, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. But often they discover that they have very little in common with each other. Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight. The best way to narrow the gap is that parents and children should be mutually respected. Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 32. What does this passage mainly tell us? 33. Which one is the most important cause of the generation gap? 34. What are children expected to do in a more traditional society? 35. How do we narrow the gap?。
《英语周报》大学版四级模拟试题与2010年12月18日四级真题对比分析报告大学版四、六级责编张晓红一、写作《英语周报》大学版2010—2011学年上学期共有十套四级模拟题,其中三套是关于父母与子女关系的写作题目,它们分别是四级模拟试题(五)、四级模拟试题(七)和四级模拟试题(八),并分别从低幼儿童应该由父母自己照看还是送进幼儿园、成年孩子是否应与父母同住,以及“啃老族”三个阶段来讨论如何培养孩子的独立问题,虽然侧重点有所不同,但主题都是一致的;而2010年12月18日的四级真题作文题目恰恰是对这三个阶段的一个归纳:父母如何帮助孩子学会独立。
下面,我们来对比分析一下三套模拟试题与真题的异同之处:模拟一:Should Children Be Taken Care of at Home?1. Some people think children should be taken care of at home by their parents;2. Others argue that it would be good for them if they were sent to the kindergarten;3. What’s your opinion?参考范文:Should Children Be Taken Care of at Home?There has been a heated discussion about whether of not children should be taken care of at home by their parents.Some people argue that taking care of children at home has a number of advantages. Firstly, parents may be able to provide a more practical education for their children than kindergartens. Secondly, home is likely to provide a more relaxed atmosphere than any other place. Besides, parents can keep their children from negative influences.Many other people, however, insist that children should be sent to the kindergarten. First, in kindergartens children are given more opportunities to develop in a social context and become accustomed to communicating with peers independently. Next, kindergartens offer professional trained teachers and all kinds of educational facilities from which children can benefit.In my opinion, I believe that children should be taken care of in kindergartens instead of being educated at home. Only in this way can both children and parents get benefits, as parents are able to advance their careers; at the same time, children will get better education, learn to be independent and solve problems by themselves.模拟二:Should Parents Live with Their Adult Children?Some people think that when people become old, they often feel very lonely; therefore, adult children should live with their parents. Do you agree with this opinion?参考范文:Should Parents Live with Their Adult Children?One of the topics of daily life is whether or not older people should live with their adultchildren. My answer for this question is that it is better for them not to do so.Firstly, people of different ages have different ways of living. Many old people like a quiet, peaceful and regular life whereas the young prefer noisy and unrestrained enjoyment. Secondly, people of different generations have different views and values. When they live together, they may disagree with each other on matters ranging from minor domestic matters to national and international issues. Consequently, family life may be unpleasant or even unbearable to both the old and the young. Last but not least, adult children, like their parents, love independence and freedom, but their parents still take them as children and unintentionally interfere in their affairs. The situation could be worse if the children are already married. For old people’s interference, many couples may have conflicts every day, even leading to a divorce.From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that if the parents and their adult children do not live together, both the old and the young enjoy complete independence and freedom, lead a life they like and keep their affections for each other.模拟三:NEET Group Phenomenon1. 社会上出现“啃老族”:已经成年、有劳动能力的年轻人,仍依靠父母供养。

At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OneIn phone booths in the U. S., there are usually directions for using the telephone. All phone numbers have seven digits, though letters and numbers are sometimes used in combination. There may be phonebooks or directories under the telephone.There are two main kinds of long distance calls: dial-direct and operator-assisted. You can make dial direct calls in most parts of the U.S. Look in the white page directory for long distance rates or more information on making long distance calls. Or you can call the operator for help. If you need a phone number that is not in your phone book, call Directory Assistance.To make a long distance call, you’ll need to know the three-digit area code. Dial 1 plus the area code plus the number, and an operator or a computer voice will tell you how much money to deposit. On operator assisted calls, the operator will ask you to deposit more money before your time is up. On dial-direct calls you’ll be cut off at the end of the time you paid for unless you put more money in the slot.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What do all telephone numbers have?27. What should you do to make a long distance call?28. What can you find in the white pages of a telephone book?Passage TwoMost people think that the older you get, the harder it is to learn a new language. That is why they believe that children learn more easily than adults. Thus, at some point in our lives, maybe around age twelve or thirteen we lose the ability to learn language well. Is it true that children learn a foreign language more easily than adults? One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish, showed that the teenagers learned more, in less time, than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed that the ability to learn a language increases as the age increases from childhood to adulthood. There are several possibleexplanations for these results. For one thing, adults know more about the world and therefore are able to understand meanings more easily than children. Moreover, adults can use logical thinking to help themselves in learning a new language. Finally adults have more self-control than children.Therefore, it seems that the common belief that children are better learners than adults may not be true.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. According to this talk, what’s the common belief about learning a new language?30. Name the two reports mentioned in the talk.31. What qualities do adults have that make learning a new language easier for them?Passage ThreeToday I would like to continue our discussion of American diplomatic history of the 18th century by talking about the pioneer named William Johnson. Sir William Johnson helped to establish friendly relations between the British colonists and the Iroquois nation during the middle of the 18th century. Johnson came to New York State from England in 1737 and soon became a large land-holder. He got along well with the Iroquois. Some of them lived on his land and it became a center of trade. Johnson sought land and furs, but was generous to his neighbors. With his skill of a diplomat Johnson often spent time negotiating among the various Indian groups. Largely because of his work the Iroquois aided the British in their struggles against the French in 1756. Later, however, there was a disagreement with the Iroquois. Johnson, who had been an official in the colonial government, was called in to negotiate a treaty regarding land boundary between the Iroquois and the English and French settlers in the area. Since Johnson died in 1774 he did not have to face the turmoil of the American Revolution.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. What is the main topic of the lecture?33. Where was Johnson born?34. What was the treaty with the Iroquois about?35. When did Johnson die?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered form 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.In November 1965, New York was blacked out by an electricity failure. The (36) authorities promised that it would not happen again. Pessimists were certain that it would occur again within five years at the latest. In July 1977, there was a repeat performance which (37) produced varying degrees of chaos throughout the city of eight million people. In 1965, the failure occurred in the cool autumn and at a time of (38) comparative prosperity. In 1977, the disaster was much more serious because it came when unemployment was high and the city was suffering from one of its worst heat waves.In 1965, there was little crime or looting during the darkness, and fewer than a hundred people were (39) arrested. In 1977, hundreds of stores were broken into and looted. Looters (40) smashed shop windows and helped themselves to (41) jewelry, clothes or television sets. Nearly 4,000 people were arrested but far more (42) disappeared into the darkness of the night. The number of policemen available was quite (43) inadequate and they wisely refrained from using their guns against mobs (44) which far outnumbered them and included armed men.Hospitals had to treat hundreds of people cut by glass from shop windows. Banks and most businesses remained closed the next day. (45) The blackout started at 9:30 p. m., when lightning hit and knocked out vital cables. Many stores were thus caught by surprise.The vast majority of New Yorkers, however, were not involved in looting. (46) They helped strangers, distributed candles and batteries, and tried to survive in a nightmare world without traffic lights, refrigerators, elevators, water and electrical power. For twenty-four hours, New York realized how helpless it was without electricity.。

For example, if the girl orders a coffee it might mean that she wants her parents to leave her alone with the boy, while a milk shows that she wants them to stay.Sometimes the matchmaking is not always so formal, which the introduction being made by friends.But whether through friends or families, there is hardly a Korean man or woman in the country who 梦⾥花落 1has not gone through this process—sometimes six or seven times.1、The word “matchmaking” in this passage means .A、a very formal ritual (仪式) attended by boys and girlsB、introducing boys and girls to know each other for the purpose of marriageC、producing matches to make a fire or light a cigaretteD、arranging games between mean and women2、The fact that the first meeting is repeated again and again in coffee shops in this main hotels suggests that .A、Koreans like drinking coffee in coffee shops very muchB、men and women want to meet as many times as possibleC、they are busy with communicating with different peopleD、marriage is seen as a business contract instead of something sacred3、Why does the matchmaking still exist in Korea?B、Because most people try to avoid romance and keep the bloodline pure.C、Because most people regard marriage as continuing family lineage and romance.D、Because most people try to break family lineage and bloodlines.4、Which of the following is true according to the passage?A、Almost every man or woman in Korea has to go through the matchmaking.B、From the signal the boy’s parents know whether their son is interested in the girl or not.C、At present young Koreans no longer need matchmaking to help them find parents.D、Only a girl and a boy will appear in the first arranged meeting.5、The passage is mainly about .A、the practice of matchmaking in KoreaB、the importance of a business contractC、the work of professional matchmakersD、the first meeting between men and womenPassage Two/Three (暂缺)12、The main reason that people like their acquaintances in books is .A、they are like human friends exactlyB、they never bore us in comparison with our human friends2C、they never hurt our feelingsD、they give human beings friendship, sympathy and encouragement13、We forget our surroundings and even our identity because .A、the reading environment is very goodB、the book is extremely interesting and attractiveC、we are alone and no one interrupts usD、we are asked to return the book the second day14、Which of the following is NOT true?A、All of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books.B、We can travel by book free of charge to our heart’s content.C、We should rely on reading to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life.D、Valuable experiences can be obtained from reading good books.15、”The whole world is ours for the asking” implies that .A、the world is more accessible in books than in realityB、the world is easy to travel around as long as we walkC、the world belongs to us whenever we askD、round-the-world trips can be made by everyonePassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Drunken driving—sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder—has become a national epidemic. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past decade.Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American macho (男⼦汉) image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach then to resist peer pressure to drink.梦⾥花落 3Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern (酒栈) in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more brandies to a customer who was “obviously intoxicated” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy. As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoo ver called the “noble experiment”. They forget that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade, there is no easy solution.16、Drunken driving has become a serious problem in America because .A. most drunken drivers drive their cars at top speedB. most drivers regard heavy drinking as part of the American macho imageC. fatalities caused by drunken driving have been greatly increasedD. about 25,000 people on average are killed every year by drunken drivers17. Why have the public changed their opinion about drunken driving?A. Because detailed statistics on drunken slaughter are now available.B. Because they are no longer tolerant of the drunken slaughter.C. Because judges usually give more severe sentences to drunken drivers.D. Because drunken drivers are more conscious of their image.18. The statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that .A. many drunken drivers were not of legal ageB. many young people were in no way qualified driversC. raising the legal drinking age would have little effect on the reduction of tragediesD. raising the legal drinking age would reduce the fatalities caused by drunken dr ivers19. Laws recently introduced in some states have .A. reduced the number of convictionsB. resulted in fewer fatalities of traffic accidentsC. prevented bars from serving drunken driversD. specified the amount drivers can drink20.

英语四六级模拟考试绝密押题试卷测试时间:考生号; 姓名:本试卷公共部分四六级相同阅读简单部分:请四级学生答“十五选十”,六级学生答“阅读简答”试卷难度系数为基础六级难度但历年四级有时候题出难了的时候和这个难度基本上是一样的,不要看到六级难度的卷纸就放弃不练,四级和六级除了单词量要求不同外是没有任何区别的,然而近年来四级和六级的单词量界限已经越来越模糊,没有人能做到根据一堆四级单词立即写出一篇阅读来,真正的四级考试都是选自《经济学人》的纯英文读物,根本无法保证里面只有四级词汇,所以希望大家不要把四六级弄的界限那么轻,四六级四六级,从来不分家,四级题出难了就是六级题,六级题出简单了也可以当做四级题。
——新东方赵丽Writing Directions:1) show your understanding of the symbolic meaning of the picture below,2) give a specific example, and3) give your suggestion as to the best way to show love.Y ou should write about 120 words on ANSWER SHEET 1. (15 points,30min)快读阅读:1-7:8 9 10Reading ASpecialization can be seen as a response to the problem of an increasing accumulation of scientific knowledge. By splitting up the subject matter into smaller units, one man could continue to handle the information and use it as the basis for further research. But specialization was only one of a series of related developments in science affecting the process of communication. Another was the growing professionalisation of scientific activity.No clear-cut distinction can be drawn between professionals and amateurs in science: exceptions can be found to any rule. Nevertheless, the word “amateur” does carry a connotation that the person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and, in particular, may not fully share its values. The growth of specialization in the nineteenth century, with itsconsequent requirement of a longer, more complex training, implied greater problems for amateur participation in science. The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training, and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom.A comparison of British geological publications over the last century and a half reveals not simply an increasing emphasis on the primacy of research, but also a changing definition of what constitutes an acceptable research paper. Thus, in the nineteenth century, local geological studies represented worthwhile research in their own right; but, in the twentieth century, local studies have increasingly become acceptable to professionals only if they incorporate, and reflect on, the wider geological picture. Amateurs, on the other hand, have continued to pursue local studies in the old way. The overall result has been to make entrance to professional geological journals harder for amateurs, a result that has been reinforced by the widespread introduction of refereeing, first by national journals in the nineteenth century and then by several local geological journals in the twentieth century. As a logical consequence of this development, separate journals have now appeared aimed mainly towards either professional or amateur readership. A rather similar process of differentiation has led to professional geologists coming together nationally within one or two specific societies, whereas the amateurs have tended either to remain in local societies or to come together nationally in a different way.Although the process of professionalisation and specialization was already well under way in British geology during the nineteenth century, its full consequences were thus delayed until the twentieth century. In science generally, however, the nineteenth century must be reckoned as the crucial period for this change in the structure of science.1.By splitting up the subject matter into , one man could continue to handle the information and use it as the basis for further research.A. smaller unitsB.structure of scienceC. psychologyD. crucial period2.No clear-cut distinction can be drawn between No clear-cut distinction can be drawn between in science .A.professionals and amateursparison and British geologicalC.twentieth century and the other.D.none3.In the century, local geological studies represented worthwhile research in their own rightstB.nineteenthC.eighteenthD.5th4.The growth of specialization in the 19th century might be more clearly seen in sciences such as ________.A. sociology and chemistryB. physics and psychologyC. sociology and psychologyD. physics and chemistry5 W e can infer from the passage that ________.A. there is little distinction between specialization and professionalisationB. amateurs can compete with professionals in some areas of scienceC. professionals tend to welcome amateurs into the scientific communityD. amateurs have national academic societies but no local ones6.
