国家公共英语(四级)口试模拟试卷2(题后含答案及解析)题型有:1. 考生个人情况介绍 2. 考生相互问答 3. 继续性问答考生个人情况介绍1.E First of all, we’d like to know something about you, so I’m going to ask some questions about yourselves.E Are you satisfied with the environment you are living in?E Has your university done anything to protect the campus environment? (If yes, what has it done? /If not, why not?)E Why is environmental protection important?E Is environmental pollution a local or global problem? (Please explain) E Which do you think is more important, environmental protection or economic development?正确答案:E First of all, we’d like to know something about you, so I’m going to ask some questions about yourselves.E Are you satisfied with the environment you are living in?A I’m dissatisfied with the environment I’m living in now. I’m a university student in Beijing. Actually I think the environment on campus is very good, because there are many trees and plenty of grass on campus. For example, at dusk, we can see many birds flying over the campus. It’s very beautiful. What makes me dissatisfied is the environment of Beijing. Some of Beijing’s rivers are very dirty and smell feculent. Beijing also has sensible sandstorms. This environment problem is getting more and more serious. As the suffusing dust blocks out the sky, enshrouding the cities, the storm brings much inconvenience and trouble to people’s daily life and work, and even claim lives in regions where the problem is more serious.E Has your university done anything to protect the campus environment? (If yes, what has it done? /If not, why not?)A Yes, my university attaches great importance to the campus environment. There are many lawns and trees in my university. Workers often mow the lawns and clean the streets on campus. So, the campus’s always kept tidy. There is a very beautiful lake on campus. After lunch, students and teachers always go there to have a walk. Three years ago, the water of this lake was very dirty, and teachers and students often complained about it. Then, my university mobilized all the students and teachers to clean this lake. Firstly, they drained all the water. Secondly, they scooped out the garbage that sunk to the bottom of the lake. Finally, they pumped clean water into the lake. Now the lake has restored its beauty. This is one example of what is being done to protect the campus environment, from which we can see all teachers and students are contributing to the campus environment at protection.E Why is environmental protection important?A To know the importance of environmental protection, you should know the damage done by pollution. Pollution is harmful to human beings. Polluted water causes many kinds of diseases. And sometimes these diseases kill people’s lives. Dirty air or garbage causes stinging eyes and running noses. Pollutants are destructive. They eat away the stone and cause iron to rust. Environmental pollution is more serious in some areas.E Is environmental pollution alocal or global problem? (Please explain) B In my opinion, environmental pollution is both a local and global problem. Environmental pollution does great damage to people’s health and drives a growing number of people into poverty. So in many nations, environmental degradation is now recognized as a key barrier to governments’ability to meet basic needs and sustain living standard. At the global level, almost all of the indicators are negative. Each year now, the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reaches a new high, and the ozone layer grows thinner. Thousands of plant and animal species no longer exist. The world environmental protection has, in a sense, been under way for more than two decades. Grass-roots environmental organizations proliferated in these years. Environmental pollution is a serious problem that needs to be solved by all human beings both on a local and global level.E Which do you think is more important, environmental protection or economic development?B Some people think that the most urgent task is to develop economy on a large scale because many people, especially in rural areas, are living in poverty. They believe only by further balancing and developing our economy can we get rid of poverty and gain overall prosperity. On the other hand, many people insist that environmental protection should be top priority. We have only one mother earth. If our ecological environment is heavily polluted or ruined, we could not survive on this planet. In my opinion, both economy and environment protection are urgent tasks. Without economic development, we would remain backward and possibly be conquered or bullied by other powerful countries. On the other hand without environmental protection, we would lose our home. Therefore, the best solution is to develop environmental-protection-oriented industries and agriculture, killing two birds with one stone.考生相互问答2.E Now, I’d like you to talk about something between yourselves. You should take care to share the opportunity of speaking.正确答案:A I think the best way to avoid traffic accidents is to obey the traffic rules. As long as you do so, every vehicle can run smoothly and orderly in the street, and no traffic accidents will happen. For example, at the crossing, everyone should obey the traffic lights.B Yes, it’s very important to obey traffic rules. But if your vehicle is in poor condition and it breaks down suddenly in the street, a traffic accident will also happen. So, I think we should keep our vehicles in good condition, and it’s the best way to avoid traffic accidents.A As far as I know, there are many traffic accidents caused by violation of traffic rules. Some people ride bicycles with another person sitting at the back seat; some drivers drink too much alcohol before driving; some pedestrians cross the street against the traffic lights.B I think we should obey traffic rules to avoid traffic accidents.A But there are still traffic accidents taking place although we obey the traffic rules and keep our vehicles in good condition. If the weather is bad, or if the street is narrow, we can’t avoid and traffic accidents. What can we do?B We still can do something to solve this problem. Drivers shouldkeep alert and show consideration for others especially in bad weather and a narrow street.A Yes. Moreover, pedestrians should also keep alert and show consideration for others. For example, they should look to the left and right when they step off thepavement. B Sure, all of what you said is right. I just think all that you said can be found in the traffic rules. So, as long as we obey the traffic rules, there will be no traffic accidents. It’s the best way. Besides, our country should strengthen the supervision of transportation, such as speed limits on the highway in bad weather, broadening the street, forbidding the booths at the sides of streets, etc.B What can we do as citizens to help reduce traffic accidents?A I think it depends on the role a citizen plays in the city. If you are a driver, certainly you should not drink alcohol before driving and be aware of the fatal consequences of your carelessness; if you are a pedestrian, then please obey the traffic rules and be careful of the vehicles running in the street. Certainly, no matter which role a citizen plays in his daily life, a driver or a pedestrian, it’s a must for him to obey traffic rules.A What do you think of bicycles as a means of transportation in big cities?B I think bicycle is a good means of transportation in big cities. Firstly, you need not take the crowded bus and subway. You need not wait for your bus at the bus station for a long time. Besides, riding a bicycle can avoid traffic congestion. Sometimes a bicycle is faster than a bus or taxi because of the traffic congestion. I think most of us must have had such an experience. And a bicycle is so convenient for riding and parking in crowded streets. You can go anywhere at any time.B What measures has the government taken to reduce traffic accidents in cities? A Our government has taken many measures to reduce traffic accidents in cities. Firstly, the government invested much more money in the construction of transportation, such as broadening the streets and building new streets, because traffic accidents are caused by the narrow or crowded streets. Secondly, government has strengthened the supervision of traffic. If it’s in bad weather, the speed of vehicles would be limited especially on highways. The government can also invest money into the education to make people conscious of traffic rules. For example, in the street, we can see some advertisements about traffic accidents.继续性问答3.E I’m going to give each of you a picture and I’d like you to first briefly describe and then give your comment on what you see in the picture. Candidate A, this is your picture. You have three minutes to talk about it.E Thank you. Now, candidate B, could you please ask your partner a question?E OK. Candidate B, here is your picture. You also have three minutes to talk about your picture.E Thank you. Now, candidate A, could you please ask your partner a question?正确答案:E I’m going to give each of you a picture and I’d like you to first briefly describe and then give your comment on what you see in the picture. Candidate A, this is your picture. You have three minutes to talk about it.A The picture shows us a prospect of family reunion. The whole family is getting together and having a wonderful supper. In holidays they choose to stay home to enjoy andrelax with the family. Each member of the family appears to be happy and they are toasting to each other’s health. In China family reunion is a traditional way of observing holidays.E Thank you. Now, candidate B, could you please ask your partner a question?B Do you think we should spend our own festivals or western ones?A I’m a more traditional person. I’ve also noticed the change and my attitude toward this phenomenon is just live-and-let-live. People can have their own way of life. If they want to celebrate the western festivals, then just let them do so. But for myself, I prefer celebrating our traditional ones. Chinese are more reserved. And being reserved is not a fault in our character. We just show our love in our own way. It may not be spoken out, but one can feel it. And usually it’s the deepest, and the strongest love. Under the more reserved appearance, there is often a more colorful and richer inner world. So it’s still more important to celebrate our own festivals.E OK. Candidate B, here is your picture. You also have three minutes to talk about your picture.B In the left of pictures, groups of people, mostly women, are shopping in the stories. They are purchasing all kinds of clothes. In holidays people usually stroll along the streets. There are usually many sales for them to get a good bargain. In the right picture, a boy indulges himself in the net. Surfing the net seems to have brought great satisfaction to him. Indeed surfing the net is convenient, but we should be aware of the problems as well. The web can be dangerous because it can be addictive and violent sites are easily accessible and can pollute young minds. Additionally, it influences your working and studying play if you spend too much time on it. So, people should be careful not to be misled.E Thank you. Now, candidate A, could you please ask your partner a question?A What should we do to encounter these phenomenon?B In my opinion, at present, we have two urgent tasks at hand. One is to develop our economy quickly, and it can help us win back the youth. The other is to publicize and give more attention to our own culture. We can create a kind of atmosphere with the help of government, and our mass media. We should learn from the foreigners but we should have our own understanding to these festivals. For example, we could have a candle supper with our lovers without rose or chocolate, and we could express the same feeling by our own ways.。

大学英语四级测验模拟试卷及参考答案(第一套)————————————————————————————————作者:————————————————————————————————日期:大学英语四级考试模拟试卷及参考答案(第一套)Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is foll owed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fou r choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and ma rk the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method o f answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships betwee n observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to o rganize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniq ues, and procedures for implementing the finding of science.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progr ess in each.Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comp rehend the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy an d certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or disli kes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover m ay shock or anger people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution. But even an unple asant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of re fusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology; we do not have the choiceof refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying ove rhead; we do not have the option of refusing to breathe polluted air; and we do not have the option of living in a non-atomic age. Unlike science progress, te chnology must be measured in terms of the human factor. The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themsel ves. Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world.21. The difference between science and technology lies in that _____.A) the former provides answers to theoretical questions while the latter to practical problemsB) the former seeks to comprehend the universe while the latter helps chang e the material worldC) the former aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and the rules that explain them while the latter, to discover new designs and ways of making the things we use in our daily lifeD) all of the above22. Which of the following may be representative of science?A) The improvement of people's life.B) The theory of people's life.C) Farming tools.D) Mass production.23. According to the author, scientific theories _____.A) must be strictly objectiveB) usually take into consideration people's likes and dislikesC) should conform to popular opinionsD) always appear in perfect and finished forms24. The author states that technology itself _____.A) is responsible for widespread pollution and resource exhaustionB) should serve those who wish to gain advantage for themselvesC) will lead to a better world if put to wise useD) will inevitably be for bad purpose25. The tone of the author in this passage is _____.A) positive B) negative C) factual D) critical Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Americans have always been ambivalent in their attitudes toward education. On the one hand, free and universal public education was seen as necessary in a democracy, for how else would citizens learn how to govern themselves in a res ponsible way? On the other hand, America was always a country that offered fina ncial opportunities for which education was not needed: on the road from rags t o riches, schooling-beyond the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic-was a n unnecessary detour.Even today, it is still possible for people to achieve financial success wi thout much education, but the number of situations in which this is possible is decreasing. In today's more complex world, the opportunities for financial suc cess is closely related to the need for education, especially higher education.Our society is rapidly becoming one whose chief product is information, and dealing with this information requires more and more specialized education. In other words, we grow up learning more and more about fewer and fewer subjects.In the future, this trend is likely to continue. Tomorrow's world will be e ven more complex than today's world, and, to manage this complexity, even more specialized education will be needed.26. The topic treated in this passage is _____.A) education in general B) Americans' attitudesC) higher education D) American education27. Americans' attitudes toward education have always been _____.A) certain B) contradictory C) ambitious D) unclear28. Today, financial success is closely related to the need for _____.A) higher education B) public education C) responsible citizens D) learning the basics29. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _____.A) information is our only productB) education in the future will be specializedC) we are entering an age of informationD) we are living in an age of information30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) The History of American Education.B) The Need for Specialized Education.C) The Future of the American Educational System.D) Attitudes toward American Education. Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.A growing world population and the discoveries of science may alter this pa ttern of distribution in the future. As men slowly learn to master diseases, co ntrol floods, prevent famines, and stop wars, fewer people die every year; andin consequence the population of the world is steadily increasing. In 1925 ther e were about 2,000 million people in the world; by the end of the century there may well be over 4,000 million.When numbers rise the extra mouths must be fed. New lands must be brought u nder cultivation, or land already farmed made to yield larger crops. In some ar eas the accessible land is so intensively cultivated that it will be difficult to make it provide more food. In some areas the population is so dense that the land is parceled out in units too tiny to allow for much improvement in farmin g methods. Were a large part of this farming population drawn off into industri al occupations, the land might be farmed much more productively by modern metho ds. There is now a race for science, technology, and industry to keep the outpu t of food rising faster than the number of people to be fed. New strains of cro ps are being developed which will thrive in unfavorable climates: there are now farms beyond the Arctic Circle in Siberia and North America; irrigation and dr y-farming methods bring arid lands under the plough, dams hold back the waters of great rivers to ensure water for the fields in all seasons and to provide el ectric power for new industries; industrial chemistry provides fertilizers to s uit particular soils; aeroplanes spray crops to destroy locusts and many plant diseases. Every year some new means is devised to increase or to protect the fo od of the world.31. The author says that the world population is growing because _____.A) there are many rich valleys and fertile plainsB) the pattern of distribution is being alteredC) people are living longerD) new land is being brought under cultivation32. The author says that in densely populated areas the land might be more productively farmed if _____.A) the plots were subdividedB) a large part of the people moved to a different part of the countryC) industrial methods were used in farmingD) the units of land were made much larger33. We are told that there are now farms beyond the Arctic Circle. This has been made possible by _____.A) producing new strains of cropsB) irrigation and dry-farming methodsC) providing fertilizersD) destroying pests and disease34. Which of these words is nearest in meaning to the word "strains"?A) types B) sizes C) seeds D) harvests35. The author's main purpose is to _____.A) argue for a belief B) describe a phenomenonC) entertain D) propose a conclusion Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies-and other creatu res-learn to do things because certain acts lead to "rewards"; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological(生理的) "drives" as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, no t otherwise.It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways th at produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome.Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to "reward" the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning th e head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned respon se with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the children's responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as you ng as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movem ent "switched on" a display of lights-and indeed that they were capable of lear ning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.Papousek's light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to wat ch the lights closely although they would "smile and bubble" when the display c ame on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights wh ich pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control.36. According to the author, babies learn to do things which . A) are direc tly related to pleasure B) will meet their physical needsC) will bring them a feeling of success D) will satisfy their curiosity37. Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby .A) would make learned responses when it saw the milkB) would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drinkC) would continue the simple movements without being given milkD) would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink38. In Papousek's experiment babies make learned movements of the head in o rder to .A) have the lights turned onB) be rewarded with milkC) please their parentsD) be praised39. The babies would "smile and bubble" at the lights because .A) the lights were directly related to some basic "drives"B) the sight of the lights was interestingC) they need not turn back to watch the lightsD) they succeeded in "switching on" the lights40. According to Papousek, the pleasure babies get in achieving something i s a reflection of .A) a basic human desire to understand and control the worldB) the satisfaction of certain physiological needsC) their strong desire to solve complex problemsD) a fundamental human urge to display their learned skillsPart III Vocabulary (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

TranslationPart I Writing (30 minutes)1.For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Is Celebrating Western Holidays Acceptable? You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:1. 越来越多的人喜欢过“洋节日”2.人们在讨论“中国人过‘洋节日’的做法是否可以接受?”3.你的观点是什么,说明理由正确答案:Is Celebrating Western Holidays Acceptable? It’s true that more and more people in China, especially young people, start to celebrate some Western holidays. And the topic “Is Celebrating Western Holidays Acceptable?”is under discussion. Some people think celebrating Western holidays is unacceptable simply because we are Chinese. Others believe that celebrating some Western holidays, such as Mothers’ Day, Fathers’ Day, Thanksgiving Day and so on, is acceptable, because it’s fun and we can learn something useful by doing so. In my opinion, celebrating Western holidays is acceptable for the following reasons. First of all, that people in China celebrate some Western holidays doesn’t mean fully accepting the Western culture and value, and it has nothing to do with religious belief. In addition, that people in China celebrate some Western holidays can enrich the life, giving people more opportunities to enjoy themselves. Thirdly, besides the people who like to celebrate the Western holidays, the business people are also very happy during the holidays. Therefore, we may say celebrating Western holidays may promote the development of our economy. Final]y; globalization is universally accepted, and celebrating Western holidays can make us better understand the Western culture. Therefore I think celebrating Western holidays is acceptable.解析:该题目属于“选择论证型”作文。
答案解析Part ⅠWritingLiving alone or Living with RoommatesNowadays, there has appeared a heated discussion among the college students as to whether they should live alone outside the campus or live together with other roommates in the students’ dormitory. Opinions are divided over the matter.Those who are in favor of Living alone maintain that it is very convenient to live by themselves. They can enjoy absolute freedom in a room of their own. They can have their own timetable without disturbing others. They are also free to equip the room with a personal computer so that they can have easy access to the Internet.But others argue that living with roommates has attractions of its own. With several students sharing the same room, each person’s experienc es can be greatly enriched. They can learn a lot from talking to one another. By learning to tolerate the differences between individuals, they can become more mature.As far as I’m concerned, I prefer to live with roommates because I love the feeling of belonging. Besides, it is a lot cheaper to live in a dorm than to rent a apartment outside the campus.独居或与室友的生活独居或与室友的生活如今,出现了高校学生之间的激烈讨论是否应独居校外或住在一起的室友在学生宿舍。
对这件事意见分歧。
那些赞成独居认为这是非常方便自己生活。
他们可以享受绝对的自由,在一个房间里。
他们可以有他们自己的时间表,而不会干扰他人。
他们也可以装备与个人电脑室,让他们可以更容易地访问互联网。
但也有人认为,与室友的生活有自己的吸引力。
有几个学生共用一个房间,每个人的经验可以极大的丰富。
他们可以学到很多东西,从彼此交谈。
通过学习容忍个人之间的差别,他们可以变得更加成熟。
就我而言,我更喜欢与室友住,因为我爱的归属感。
此外,它是便宜了很多生活在一个宿舍比校园外租公寓。
点评:本文与校园生活密切相关,也是近年来出现的现象,人们对此的看法各异,2003年后,四级作文考查加大了学校生活类题目的考查,因为这类题材不存在地域的差异,不同地域的同学都有话可说。
本预测题即为校园生活类话题,与刚考完的四级作文话题类似,符合命题者出题思路,值得引起重视。

It’s in the courtyard and it’s made of pieces of aluminium that moves slowly in the air. It’s really impressive.M: That was in the article too. [25]It said that original was steel and it weighed so much that it wasn’t safe to hand.W: Right. They did it over in aluminium so it wouldn’t come crashing down on someone’s head.M: You know the article went into that in detail. There was even an interview with the sculptor.W: I’d like to read that. Would you mind if I borrow the magazine sometime? M: No, I wouldn’t mind if I haven’t thrown it out yet.23. How had the man learned about the museum?24. According to the woman, what do the paving stones, skylights and mobile avein common?25. What was the problem with the original mobile?Section BPassage One[26]We don’t know how the first was made, Early fires on the earth were certainly caused by nature, not by man. Some were caused by lightning in a storm; others, perhaps by one hot material which came of a volcano. Quite possibly ,at times, the beat of the sun set light to some dry grass or leaves. [27]At first, man, like other animals, was probably afraid of fire. He saw that fire could destroy a forest; he knew that fire could hurt his baby. So great was the power ofFire that he feared it and worshipped it. Gradually, however, with his better powers of thinking, be overcame his fear. Probably he overcame most of his fear when he discovered how to make fire for himself. Throughout the ages he has learned more about fire, how to control it, and how to use it in many ways. Now fire is no longer a master or a god, it is a servant. Again, at some early date, man found how fire could be used to make, certain metals from rocks. [28]Some time later, he found out how to make the metal which we now call bronze. This is a mixture of copper and tin. Bronze was a very useful metal. It was hard and tough, but he could shape it by hammering (probably with heavy stones). He could make a tool with a sharp edge f or cutting. It isn’t so easy to get iron from its ore and this metal was probably not discovered until very much later.26. What do we know about early fires on the earth?27. What was probably man’s response to the first fire?28. What is bronze made of?Passage TwoUnlike most of the other holidays, the history of April Fool’s Day is not totally clear. [29]The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France, Before that year, the new year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25 and lasting until April 1. With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX, a news or refused, and New Year’s was moved to January 1. However, many people did not receive the news or refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. These backward folk were labeled as “fools” by the general public. They were often sent on “fool’s errands” or were made the target of other practical jokes. This evolved, over time, into a tradition of jokepiaying on the first day of April.[30]The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the 18th century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. Jokes performed on April Fool’s Day range from t he simple (such as saying,“Your shoe’s untied!”),to the elaborate. Setting a roommate’s alarm clock back an hour is a common trick. Whatever the joke, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, “April Fool!” Practical jokes are a common practi ce on April Fool’s Day. [31]Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown April Fool’s Day was a fairly detailed documenta ry about “noodle farmers” and how they harvest their crop from the noodle tress. April Fool’s Day is a “for-fun-only” celebration. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their “significant other” out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work o r school. It’s simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever alert, for he may be the next April Fool!29. When was the new year celebrated in France before 1582?30. When did the tradition of April Fool’s Day spread to Englan d?31. What do we know from the passage ?Passage Three[32]/[33]A South African businessman is refusing to leave Croatia until he finds a girl who he saw across a crowded bar. Keith Van Der Spuy has never even spoken to the girl but says she was the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. He has cancelled his flight home and taken out advertisements in local newspapers in the port town of Split. [33]Mr. Van Der Spuy says he was having a drink in the bar when he saw the pretty girl smile at him across the bar. While he was trying to look at her closely she disappeared. But he’s convinced she was a local because he heard her calling to a female friend shortly before he lost sight of her. Van Der Spuy, who is also the head of the South African water-polo association, said he could not get her out of his mind and when be got to the airport, then he realized he could not board the plane. He has already extended his holiday for four months, and says he is prepared to stay in Split for as long as it takes.“I will not leave this place for years if I have to.[34]When I saw her and she looked at me I knew she was the one.There was pure chemistry between us. I can’t get her out of my head. I just want to meet her and see her long dark hair and beautiful smile again. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.”[35]“If she is married or is not interested I can accept it-but I have to know. I have to see her one more time, and I have even bought a diamond ring for her.”32. How long has the man decided to stay in Split?33. Where was the man when he saw the pretty girl?34. What do we know from the passage?35. What will the man do if the woman is not interested in him?Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)(25 minutes)Section A【答案】47.选O。
