2013年12月大学英语四级阅读理解改革新题型匹配题(附答案与解析)最新版

作文部分：范文一： The modern technology has greatly altered the mode of communication among people. With the help of the Internet, people can easily contact each other anytime anywhere. However, the side effect is that many people have become over-dependent on the Internet and neglected face-to-face communication.As far as I'm concerned, electronic communication cannot fully replace the direct contact among people. Although it seems to bring everyone together, it actually estranges people and decreases the effectiveness of communication. A typical example is that, traditionally, people working in the same office simply walk to others and talk. Today, however, co-workers tend to send e-mails or instant messages through the Internet even when they are sitting next to each other. As words can never convey the full message, it usually takes much more time and rounds of conversation than face-to-face communication, in which people can discuss more directly with less loss of information.To conclude, the Internet enables more effective communication in some situations, but over-dependence on it actually pulls people apart.范文二：It is frequently observed that many people keep looking down at their mobile phones whatever they are doing. It is true that mobile phones have brought great convenience to us as we can send short messages, check e-mails, surf the Internet, or watch videos almost anywhere. However, the overuse of mobile phones also leads to some serious problems.The over-dependence on mobile phones can harm the relationship among friends and family. With mobile phones, people do not talk as much as before. For example, sometimes at dinner tables, instead of chatting and laughing with each other, many people choose to chat with other friends online. In other words, mobile phones help people contacting friends far away more easily at the expense of reducing the communication with those who are sitting right next to them.In conclusion, mobile phone can be a useful tool in modern life, but overusing it damages interpersonal relationship. There is no point to lose our intimacy with friends and family to modern technology.范文三：The impact of the Internet on learningExplain why education doesn’t simply mean learning to obtain informationIn the age of knowledge explosion, the Internet opens a magical portal for leaners to get access to seemingly incessant information. But is information equal to knowledge? “Once I learn how to use google, isn't that all the education I really need?” This question fully embodies the prejudiced opinion that as long as people acquire abundant information, they will get proper education.The rea son why education doesn’t simply mean learning to obtain information is that education is not limited to the hard facts or theories students can learn from their textbooks or the Internet. It relates to a wider scope ranging from the obtainment of practical skills to the development of characters, which are hard for students to learn simply by googling. Consequently, comprehensive learning in schools that includes learning knowledge, conducting experiments and communicating with peers is what true education is.In a word, the Internet does provide valuable information for learners, but people should be fully conscious of the essence of education and learn to tell the right from the wrong.听力部分：1.

TranslationPart I Writing1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the following topic. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. Companies should encourage old employees(55 years old)to retire, in order to give opportunities to the new generation. To what extent do you agree or disagree?正确答案：Companies Should Encourage Old Employees to Retire Nowadays, a large number of employees who are more than 55 years old must retire because of the company policy; therefore, many people think that the development of a company cannot be separated from the number of young employees. I approve of this viewpoint based on the following reasons. The main reason is that plenty of young employees mean that the company is infused with lots of fresh blood. With the development of technology, more and more new technological products have been developed. The new generation masters advanced technology and have the energy to explore. Another reason is that old employees cannot adapt themselves to the fast pace. Old employees find it difficult to learn new things rapidly. So old employees are not a patch on young employees, which means not only intellect but also physical strength. Last but not the least reason is that old employees have already worked for more than half of their lifetime; they have paid out too much in order to look after their families and careers, hence, they should retire to enjoy life. In conclusion, old employees shouldn’t continue working for themselves. Moreover, advancement of society needs a new generation.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文：M: Hello, Mrs. White, what can I do for you? W: I don’ t know what’s the matter with me?

TranslationPart I Writing1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then express your views on generation gap. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.正确答案：Let’s Get to Know and Accept Each Other Generation gaps exist in various times. In the illustration, the boy says to his father that he will allow his father watching cartoons with him only when his father doesn’t ask him to explain the cartoons. The generation gaps seem to be pulled widely apart with the advancement of the times. Therefore, both the seniors and the juniors should take some measures to bridge the gaps. Parents should learn to keep their mind open to the new things around them. In this way, they will keep their ideas fresh, know what their children are experiencing and will have new topics to talk with their children. And patience and tolerance always smooth the communication between parents and children. As to children, they should learn to show their respect and understanding to their parents, for example, explaining the new things patiently to their parents. In conclusion, only by the efforts of both parents and children can we narrow the generation gaps. So let’s start to know and accept each other so that better communications can be promoted.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文：W: Tom, you really must take school more seriously.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresp onding letter on An swer Sheet 2 with a sin gle line through the cen tre.Passage OneQuesti ons 56 to 60 are based on the follow ing passage.In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food in take are in flue need by a large nu mber of factors besides our biological n eed forenergy, including our eating environment and our perception of the food in front of us.Studies have show n, for in sta nee, that eati ng in front of the TV (or a similardistract ion) can in crease both hun ger and the amount of food con sumed. Even simplevisual cues, like plate size and light ing, have bee n show n to affect portion size and con sumpti on.A new study suggested that our short-term memoryalso mayplay a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they ' d eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them —in other words, how much they remembered eati ng.This disparity (盖弃) suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger in flue nee on our appetite tha n the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brun strom, a professor of experime ntal psychology at the Uni versity of Bristol."Hun ger isn't con trolled solely by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. Wehave identified an independent role for memory for that meal，" Brunstrom says."This shows that the relati on ship betwee n hun ger and food in take is more complex than we thought."These findings echo earlier research that suggests our percepti on of food can sometimes trick our body' s response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instanee, people who drank the same3S0-calorie (卡路里)milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones (荷尔蒙),depending on whetherthe shake' s label said it contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they'd consumed a higher-calorie shake.What does this mean for our eat ing habits? Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eati ng less, the new findings do highlight the ben efits offocus ing on our food and avoidi ng TV and multitask ing while eat ing.The so-called min dful-eat ing strategies can fight distract ions and help us con trol our appetite, Brun strom says.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

大学英语四级（2013年12月考试改革适用）模拟试卷104(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. Writing 2. Listening Comprehension 3. 4. Reading Comprehension 5. TranslationPart I Writing1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay. You should start your essay with a brief account of student’s increasing reliance on technology to solve problems, and then explain the consequence of over-dependence on it. You should write at least120 words but no more than 180 words. “You have to solve this problem by yourself. You can’t call tech support.”正确答案：Technology Can’t Solve Every Problem As shown in the picture, a kid is trying to get the answer of a simple calculation from his smart phone. Unfortunately, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Students rely so much on technology to solve problems these days that they seek answers from Internet for their daily homework, examination and even graduation paper that needs deep thought and critical thinking. Though technology has brought much convenience to us, overuse of it, especially for students, does more harm than good. First, the “Google has it all” notion tempts student into laziness, and leads to their loss of basic skills. For example, many students now can’t spell correctly “thanks to”the spelling checking software. Second, technology can’t teach students critical thinking. Solving practical problems is far more complicated than copy-and-paste. Q and A websites don’t tell us the exact solution for every problem, and students need to learn the ability to think and analyze instead of copying the information technology mechanically provides. Advanced technology is certainly a blessing for students. Nevertheless, once overused, it can become a devil that kills our diligence and creativity.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文：W: We’ve already bought an oven, a washing machine, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator.
