4级考前最新命制试卷一参考答案及录音文本参考答案Part I Writing【参考范文一】How to Relieve StressIn today’s fast-paced world,stress is our constant companion.We may face stress from our jobs,families,peers, etc.Though stress adds flavor and challenge to life,too much stress can seriously affect people’s physical and mental well-being,so it’s necessary to handle stress properly.When it comes to relieving stress,people vary in their ways.Some people talk with someone,perhaps a friend or a family member,about their anxieties and worries.Some allow themselves a mental“get-away”:a quiet country scene can divert them from the tension of a stressful situation to a more relaxing frame of mind.There are also people who seek a sense of peace by reading a good book.The effective way for me is different—I have several relaxation techniques.For example,when stress occurs,I would take a deep breath and exhale and if possible,I would take a warm bath.Exercise also works.They prove to be very helpful to calm my mind.【参考范文二】How to Relieve StressStress is an inevitable part in our life.Many kinds of big events,such as natural disasters,wars and death,can cause great stress.On a day-to-day basis,most people may suffer from stress resulting from trivial things:taking anexam,waiting in a line,etc.Various ways can help people relieve stress.Some try physical activities which proved to be a great way of getting rid of pressure.For others,sparing time for fun such as reading humorous books or listening to light music also helps to drive away bad moods.Still,a good cry can be an effective way to bring relief to one’s anxiety in a short time.As far as I am concerned,when stress does occur,I prefer to practicing yoga,which helps me relax and keep a very peaceful mind.I strongly oppose the negative ways such as taking sleeping pills,drinking heavily or fighting. When it comes to stress,it’s better to recognize and deal with it rather than escaping from it.Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)1.C)2.D)3.C)4.B)5.B)6.B)7.A)8.only twice a day9.the more that’s expected of you10.booksPart III Listening Comprehension11.C)12.A)13.C)14.B)15.D)16.D)17.B)18.B)19.D)20.C)21.B)22.C)23.B)24.C)25.C)26.A)27.C)28.B)29.A)30.D)31.B)32.C)33.B)34.C)35.A)Section C36.importance37.agreement38.categoriestter40.designed41.persuasive42.entertainment43.generally44.This means that popular newspapers are easier for a native speaker to understand45.Popular papers are generally smaller with fewer columns per page than quality onesrger headlines,pictures and positions on the page all serve to draw the reader’s attentionPart IV Reading Comprehension(Reading in Depth)47.I)48.B)49.G)50.C)51.K)52.L)53.E)54.F)55.H)56.O)57.D)58.B)59.B)60.A)61.B)62.C)63.B)64.A)65.D)66.A)Part V Cloze67.D)68.A)69.C)70.B)71.D)72.B)73.C)74.B)75.A)76.C)77.D)78.B)79.A)80.D)81.B)82.A)83.C)84.A)85.D)86.C)Part VI Translation87.never give up wanting to be a leader88.does he speak Italian89.hardly keep pace with modern trends90.suggested that she(should)not go there91.(in)selling their goods at a good price录音文本Part III Listening Comprehension Section A11.W:Excuse me.I bought this overcoat yesterday.Here is the receipt.As soon as I put it on the sleeve fell off.AndI’ve just noticed that the collar is coming off too!M:Why don’t you just sew them back on?Q:What can be inferred from the conversation?12.M:Mary doesn’t want me to take the job.She says our child is too young.And the job requires much traveling.W:You should talk to her again and see if you can find a way out.Think about the gains and losses before you make a decision.Q:What do we learn from the conversation?13.W:Let’s eat out,shall we?I want to try something new.M:I know some place you’ve never been before.But I’m broke.I’ve gone through my paycheck for the week already.Q:What does the man mean?14.M:I want to get into that class.But there are so many people on the waiting list.W:I wouldn’t say that!Many people might drop the class and then there will be some openings.You never know.Q:What are the speakers talking about?15.W:Wow,James!That’s quite a stack of books.It looks like you’re studying for an exam.M:Oh,I’m studying,but not for an exam.I’ve been doing some research at the company library for a report on psychological investing.Q:What is the man doing?16.M:Excuse me!I’d like to see Mr.Jones this afternoon,please.W:I’m sorry,Mr.Jones will be busy the whole afternoon.Can you manage at10:30tomorrow morning?Q:What can we learn about Mr.Jones?17.W:Prof.Reagan,you look smart today!Anything special?M:I’m going to attend my cousin’s wedding.So it’s a big day.Q:What do we learn about Prof.Reagan?18.W:Wow,spring officially arrived last night and the days are getting longer now.M:And none too soon!Now if only the temperature would cooperate.I’m tired of wearing winter clothes.Q:What does the man imply?Now you will hear the two long conversations.Conversation OneM:What’s wrong,Cindy?You look very sad.W:Thanks for asking,Jim.I am worried about my high school chemistry teacher.My mom told me that he is in hospital,very sick!M:I am sorry to hear that.But…how old is he?W:Oh,I don’t exactly know Mr.Amald’s age.I don’t think he is very old.He retired two years ago.Every summer I went to see him.He seemed to be enjoying a great time when I saw him last month.M:It’s kind of unusual for a chemistry teacher to be his or her students’favorite.W:No,not with him.He was everybody’s favorite teacher.He could not only make things clear but also was always patient with his students,more patient with slow learners.M:He reminds me of Miss Stiff.W:Who’s that?One of your teachers?M:Yes,my math teacher.I hated mathematics until I got to be in her class.W:Did she joke like Mr.Cobette?M:No,she didn’t.As a matter of fact,I don’t remember her smiling.She looked very serious.But somehow,she let us know that she thought we could all do excellent work and she always had a high expectation of us.W:We are lucky to have such good teachers.M:I couldn’t agree more.Good teachers make a difference in our life.Questions19to22are based on the conversation you have just heard.19.Why is the woman sad?20.How does the woman describe her high school teacher?man’’s favorite high school teacher?21.Who was the man22.How do the man and woman feel about their teachers?Conversation TwoM:Well,Claudia,how is your first day on campus working out?W:Actually I’m overwhelmed.This campus is too large.I am not really sure how to get around it.How about you? M:Yeah,I’m having the same problem.That’s why we should leave a bit early to get to our biology class on time. W:That sounds like a good plan to me!It’s9:30right now.I think our class starts at10:00.M:Actually it starts at10:15,which leaves us45minutes to find it.The schedule says the class is at the Darwin Building,but I can’t seem to find it on the map.W:Since we both don’t know where we are going,why don’t you ask that woman sitting on the bench?She seems to know her way around here.M:All right,it can’t hurt to ask.M:Excuse me,Miss,could you tell us how to get to the Darwin Building?W:The Darwin Building?Oh yes,I remember.Do you see that building to our right there?That’s the East Dormitory.Next to it is the Science Library.What you should do is follow the path between those two buildings until you reach the other side.Then take the left-hand path and follow it to the end.It leads straight to the Darwin Building.Got it?M:I think so.After we pass the Dorm in the Library,we follow the path to the left until the end of the road,then we should be there,right?W:Yes,that’s perfect.M:Thank you very much,indeed.W:You are welcome.Questions23to25are based on the conversation you have just heard.students’’first impression of the campus?23.What is the two students24.What are the two students going to do?25.What time does their biology class begin according to the man?Section BPassage OneDriving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance.It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected.When alcohol is consumed,it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant,damaging eyesight,judgment and co-ordination,slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents.Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain.Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice.To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:●50milligrams of alcohol per100ml of blood;or●22micrograms of alcohol per100ml of breath;or●67milligrams of alcohol per100ml of urine(尿液)Drivers who cause traffic accidents,or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged.The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK$25,000and be sentenced to up to3years in prison and punished for10driving-offence points;or temporarily banned from driving.The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens(样本)for breath,blood or urine tests without good excuse.Questions26to28are based on the passage you have just heard.26.What does the speaker tell us at the beginning of the passage?27.What do we learn from the passage?28.What do we learn about any driver suspected of drink driving?Passage TwoIn the fall of1985,I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University,aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere.Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma,an amazing woman,graduated from college at the age of65.But one year after I started college,she developed cancer.I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her.Then I got married with another dream:building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children.In1999,we adopted our first son.A year later came our second adopted boy.Then followed son No.3.In 2003,I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became,raising four boys under the age of8!Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo.Not surprising,I never did make it back to college full-time.But I never gave up on the dream either.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys.They often wanted me to stay home with them.There certainly were times I wanted to quit,but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In2007,I graduated from the University of North Carolina.It took me over21years to get my college degree.It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge,but when you’re in the midst of it,it just seems normal.Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day.It’s a process.Remember:little steps add up to big dreams.Questions29to32are based on the passage you have just heard.speaker’’s dream to be when she went to Howard University?29.What was the speaker30.Why did the speaker quit school in her second year of college?31.What do we learn about the speaker from her tale?32.What does the speaker mostly want to tell us at the end of her tale?Passage ThreeThey are the sort of friends who are so close they trust each other with their lives.If one fails,the other is there to catch him.They are Wellman,whose legs were permanently injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing accident,and Corbett,an experienced rock climber.Together,they climbed up Half Dome,the famous2,000-foot rock in the Yosemite National Park,through one of the most difficult routes.During the climb,Corbett took the lead,hit in the metal spikes(a pointed piece of metal)that guided the ropes and climbed up.Then,after Wellman pulled himself up the rope,Corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up again.This process was repeated time and again,inch by inch,for13days.Wellman’s job was not easy either.He got himself up the rope through upper body strength alone.In all, Wellman figured that he had done5,000pull-ups up the rope on the climb.However,when the two men first met,they never talked about climbing.“He knew that was how I got injured.”Wellman said.Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training.Their climb of Half Dome was not all smooth.At one point,pieces of rock gave way,and Corbett dropped down quickly.Wellman locked their rope in place,stopping the fall at20feet.His quick action probably saved his friend’s life.“Your partner can save your life—you can save your partner’s life,”Wellman said as the pair received congratulations from friends.“There are real close ties.”Questions33to35are based on the passage you have just heard.33.Why did the two men never talk about climbing when they first met?34.What do we know about Wellman?35.What does the passage mainly want to tell us?Section CThere are five basic functions of a newspaper:to inform,to review,to persuade,to instruct and to entertain.You may think that this list of functions is in order of importance.But,if so,you would not be in agreement with the majority of the reading public.Of the two categories of newspaper,the popular and the quality,the former have a readership of millions,while the latter,only hundreds of thousands.Yet the popular papers seem largely designed for recreation and light-hearted human interest stories.Their news coverage contains lots of comments and persuasive language:the information content is low,and instruction is minor.However,the quality newspapers put a much lower emphasis on entertainment.It is not only in content that the two types of paper differ.There is a difference,too,in the style in which the articles are written.The popular papers generally use more dramatic language with a lot of wordplay.This means that popular newspapers are easier for a native speaker to understand.In order to decide whether a newspaper is a quality or a popular one,it is not even necessary to read it,since you can tell simply by the way it looks.Popular papers are generally smaller with fewer columns per page than quality ones.They have bigger headlines and more photographs. There is a greater variety of typeface and printed symbols.Such devices are not only used to make the paper more attractive;they may also influence what the reader rger headlines,pictures and positions on the page all serve to draw the reader’s attention.11。
