2010年6月英语四级考试真题Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questi ons 8-10, complete the senten ces with the in formati on give n in the passage.Caught in the WebA few mon ths ago, it was n't unu sual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spe nd 15 hours per day on li ne. She'd wake up early, tur n on her laptop and chat on Internet dati ng sites and in sta nt-messag ing programs -leavi ng her bed for only brief intervals. Her household bills piled up, along with the dishes and dirty laundry, but it took near-constant compla ints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem."I was start ing to feel like my whole world was falli ng apart —kind of slipp ing into a depressi on," said Carla. "I knew that if I did n't get off the dat ing sites, I'd just keep goin g," detachi ng ( 使脱离)herself further from the outside world.Toebe's con clusi on: She felt like she was "addicted" to the Intern et. She's not alone.Concern about excessive Internet use isn't new. As far back as 1995, articles in medical journals and the establishme nt of a Penn sylva nia treatme nt cen ter for overusers gen erated in terest in the subject. There's still no consen sus on how much time on li ne con stitutes too much or whether addict ion is possible.But as relia nee on the Web grows, there are sig ns that the questi on is gett ing more serious atte nti on: Last mon th, a study published in CNS Spectrums claimed to be the first large-scale look at excessive Internet use. The American Psychiatric Associati on may con sider listi ng Internet addict ion in the next editi on of its diag no stic manu al. And scores of on li ne discussi on boards have popped up on which people discuss n egative experie nces tied to too much time on the Web."There's no question that there're people who're seriously in trouble because they're overdoing their Internet involvement," said psychiatrist ( 精神科医生)Ivan Goldberg. Goldberg calls the problem a disorder rather than a true addict ion.Jon atha n Bishop, a researcher in Wales specializ ing in on li ne com mun ities, is more skeptical. "The Internet is an en vir onmen t," he said. "You can't be addicted to the environmen t." Bishop describes the problem as simply a matter of priorities, which can be solved by encouraging people to prioritize other life goals and plans in place of time spent on li ne.The new CNS Spectrums study was based on results of a n ati on wide teleph one survey of more tha n 2,500 adults. Like the 2005 survey, this one was con ducted by Stanford Uni versity researchers.About 6% of resp ondents reported that "their relati on ships suffered because of excessive Internet use." About 9% attempted to con ceal "non esse ntial Internet use," and n early 4% reported feeli ng "preoccupied by the Internet whe n offli ne."About 8% said they used the Internet as a way to escape problems, and almost 14% reported they "found it hard to stay away from the Internet for several days at a time.""The Internet problem is still in its infan cy," said Elias Aboujaoude, a Sta nford professor. No sin gle on li ne activity is to blame for excessive use, he said. "They're on li ne in chat rooms, check ing e-mail, or writ ing blogs. [The problem is] not limited to porn ( 色情)or gambling" websites.Excessive Internet use should be defi ned not by the nu mber of hours spe nt on li ne but "i n terms of losses," said Maressa Orzack, a Harvard University professor. "If it's a loss [where] you're not getting to work, and family relati on ships are break ing dow n as a result, the n it's too much."Si nee the early 1990s, several clinics have bee n established in the U. S. to treat heavy Internet users. They in elude the Center for Internet Addictio n Recovery and the Cen ter for Internet Behavior.The website for Orzack's cen ter lists the followi ng among the psychological symptoms of computer addicti on:•Havi ng a sense of wel-be ing (幸福) or exciteme nt while at the computer.•Longing for more and more time at the computer.•Neglect of family and frien ds.•Feeli ng empty, depressed or irritable whe n not at the computer.•Lying to employers and family about activities.•In ability to stop the activity.•Problems with school or job.Physical symptoms listed in clude dry eyes, backaches, skipp ing meals, poor pers onal hygie ne ( 卫生)and sleep disturba nces.People who struggle with excessive Internet use maybe depressed or have other mood disorders, Orzack said.When she discusses Internet habits with her patie nts, they ofte n report that being on li ne offers a "se nse of bel onging,and escape, excitement [and] fun," she said. "Some people say relief …because they find themselves so rela Some parts of the Internet seem to draw people in more than others. Internet gamers spend countless hourscompeti ng in games aga inst people from all over the world. One such game, called World of Warcraft, is cited on many sites by posters compla ining of a "gam ing addicti on."An drew Heidrich, an educati on n etwork adm ini strator from Sacrame nto, plays World of Warcraft for about two tofour hours every other ni ght, but that's no thi ng compared with the 40 to 60 hours a week he spe nt play ing on li ne games whe n he was in college. He cut back only after a full-scale family in terve ntio n ( 干预),i n which relatives told him he'd gained weight."There's this whole culture of competiti on that sucks people in" with on li ne gam ing, said Heidrich, now a father oftwo. "People do it at the expe nse of everyth ing that was a con sta nt in their lives." Heidrich now visits websites thatdiscuss gam ing addict ion regularly "to remi nd myself to keep my love for on li ne games in check."Toebe also regularly visits a site where posters discuss Internet overuse. In August, whe n she first realized she hada problem, she posted a message on a Yahoo Internet addict ion group with the subject line: "I have an InternetAddictio n.""I'm self-employed and n eed the Internet for my work, but rm faili ng to accomplish my work,to take care of myhome, to give atte nti on to my childre n," she wrote in a message sent to the group."I have no money or in sura nee to get professi onal help; I can't even pay my mortgage ( 抵押贷款)and face los ing everyth in g."Since the n, Toebe said, she has kept her promise to herself to cut back on her Internet use.

Millions of us get up each morning already wear y over the day holds. “I just can’t get started,” p eople say. But it’s not physical energy that most of us lack. Sure, we could all use extra sleep and a better diet. But in truth, people are healthier today than at any time in history. I can almost guarantee that if you long for more energy, the problem is not with your body.What you’re seeking is not physical energy. It’s emotional energy. Yet, sad to say, life sometimes seems designed to exhaust our supply. We work too hard. We have family obligations. We encounter emergencies and personal crises. No wonder so many of us suffer from emotionalfatigue, a kind of utter exhaustion of the spirit.And yet we all know people who are filled with joy, despite the unpleasant circumstances of their lives. Even as a child, I observed people who were poor, or disabled, or ill, but who nonetheless faced life with optimism and vigor. Consider Laura Hillenbrand, who despite an extremely weak body, wrote the best-seller Seabiscuit. Hillenbrand barely had enough physical energy to drag herself out of bed to write. But she was fueled by having a story she wanted to share. It was emotional energy that helped her succeed.Unlike physical energy, which is finite and diminishes with age, emotional energy is unlimited and has no thing to do with genes or upbringing. So how do you get it? You can’t simply tell yourself to be positive. You must take action. Here are six practical strategies that work.1. Do something new.Very little that’s new occurs in our lives. The impact of thi s sameness on our emotional energy is gradual, but huge: It’s like a tire with a slow leak. You don’t notice it at first, but eventually you’ll get a flat. It’s up to you to plug the leak—even though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in your d ull routines of life. That’s where Maura, 36, a waitress, found herself a year ago.Fortunately, Maura had a lifeline—a group of women friends who meet regularly to discuss their lives. Their lively discussions spurred Maura to make small but nevertheless life altering changes. She joined a gym in the next town. She changed her look with a short haircut and new black T-shirts. Eventually, Maura gathered the courage to quit her job and start her own business.Here’s a challenge: If it’s something you wouldn’t ordinarily do, do it. Try a dish you’ve never eaten. Listen to music you’d ordinarily tune out. You’ll discover these small things add to your emotional energy.2. Reclaim life’s meaning.So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but that somewhere along the line things went stale.The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it. A case in point is Ivy, 57, a pioneer in investment banking. “I mistakenly believed that all the money I made would mean something,” she says. “But I feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life.” Ivy’s solution? She started a program that shows Wall Streeters how to donate time and money to poor children. In the process, Ivy filled her life with meaning.3. Put yourself in the fun zone.Most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived. High-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation. A real estate broker I know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients. “I love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like with a little tender loving care,” she says. “It’s a challenge—and the least desirable properties are usually the most fun.”We all define fun differently, of course, but I can guarantee this: If you put just a bit of it into your day, you energy will increase quickly.4. Bid farewell to guilt and regret.Everyone’s pa st is filled with regrets that still cause pain. But from an emotional energy point of view, they are dead weights that keep us from moving forward. While they can’t merely be willed away, I do recommend you remind yourself that whatever happened is in the past, and nothing can change that. Holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present.5. Make up your mind.Say you’ve been thinking about cutting your hair short. Will it look stylish—or too extreme?You endlessly think it over. Having the decision hanging over your head is a huge energy drain.Every time you can’t decide, you burden yourself with alternatives. Quit thinking that you have to make the right decision; instead, make a choice and don’t look back.6. Give to get.Emotional energy has a kind of magical quality; the more you give, the more you get back. This is the difference between emotional and physical energy. With the latter, you have to get it to be able to give it. With the former, however, you get it by giving it.Start by asking everyone you meet, “How are you?” as if you really want to know, then listen to the reply. Be the one who hears. Most of us also need to smile more often. If you don’t smile at the person you love first thing in the morning, you’re sucki ng energy out of your relationship. Finally, help another person—and make the help real, concrete. Give a massage (按摩) to someone you love, or cook her dinner. Then, expand the circle to work. Try asking yourself what you’d do if your goal were to be helpful rather than efficient.After all, if it’s true that what goes around comes around, why not make sure that what’s circulating around you is the good stuff?注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

When we designed America's first so-called "green" office building in New York two decades 71, we felt very alone. But today, thousands of people come to green building conferences, and the 72 that buildings can be good for people and the environment will be increasingly influential in years to 73 .Back in 1984 we discovered that most manufactured products for decoration weren't designed for 74 use.

I’ve been 71 only once – for a woman who had merely fainted. But the 72 made me quite curious about how 73 this kind of thing happens I wondered what I would do if 74 with a real midair medical emergency-with out access 75 a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment.

Most of them are not 80;fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints. 81 13% of them –roughly four a day – are serious enough to 82 a pilot to change course. The most common of the serious emergencies 83 heart trouble. strokes, and difficulty breathing.Let’s face it: plane r ides are 84.For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly 85 they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level.

Not everyone who picks up a fishing rod or goes out with a gun is a sportsman. The sportsman first of all obeys the fish and game laws, not because he is liable to be punished as a violator, but because he knows that in the main these laws are made for his best interests.The following are some of the things that those who would qualify for membership in the sportsmanship fraternity (圈内人) will do.1. Take no more game than the bag limit provided for by the fish and game laws. The person who comes back from a trip boasting about the large number of fish or game taken is not a sportsman buta game hog (贪得无厌的捕猎者) .2. Observe the unwritten rules of fair play. This means shooting game birds only when the birds are “on the wing”. For the same reason, do not use a shotgun to shoot a rabbit or similar animal while it is sitting or standing still.3. Be careful in removing illegal or undersized fish from the hook. This should be done only after wetting the hands. This is necessary because the body of the fish is covered with a thin, protective film which will stick to your dry hands. If the hands are dry when the fish is handled, the film is torn from the body of the fish. Without the protective film, the fish is more easily attacked by diseases.

We can sometimes even solve problems in our sleep. Or can we? Many experts disagree on exactly what the purpose of our dreams might be. Are they strictly random brain impulses, or are our brains actually working through issues from our daily life while we sleep -- as a sort of coping mechanism? Should we even bother to interpret our dreams? Manysay yes, that we have a great deal to learn from our dreams.Why do we Dream?For centuries, we've tried to figure out just why our brains play these nightly shows for us. Early civilizations thought dream worlds were real, physical worlds that they could enter only from their dream state. Researchers continue to toss around many theories about dreaming. Those theories essentially fall into two categories:●The idea that dreams are only physiological stimulations●The idea that dreams are psychologically necessaryPhysiological theories are based on the idea that we dream in order to exercise various neural connections that some researchers believe affect certain types of learning. Psychological theories are based on the idea that dreaming allows us to sort through problems, events of the day or things that are requiring a lot of our attention. Some of these theorists think dreams might be prophetic. Many researchers and scientists also believe that perhaps it is a combination of the two theories.Dreaming and the BrainWhen we sleep, we go through five sleep stages. The first stage is a very light sleep from which it is easy to wake up. The second stage moves into a slightly deeper sleep, and stages three and four represent our deepest sleep. Our brain activity throughout these stages is gradually slowing down so that by deep sleep, we experience nothing but delta brain waves -- the slowest brain waves. About 90 minutes after we go to sleep and after the fourth sleep stage, we begin REM sleep. Rapid eye movement (REM) was discovered in 1953 by University of Chicago researchers Eugene Aserinsky, a graduate student in physiology, and Nathaniel Kleitman, Ph.D., chair of physiology. REM sleep is primarily characterized by movements of the eyes and is the fifth stage of sleep.How to Improve Y our Dream RecallIt is said that five minutes after the end of a dream, we have forgotten 50 percent of the dream's content. Ten minutes later, we've forgotten 90 percent of its content. Why is that? We don't forget our daily actions that quickly. The fact that they are so hard to remember makes their importance seem less.There are many resources both on the Web and in print that will give you tips on how to improve your recall of dreams. Those who believe we have a lot to learn about ourselves from our dreams are big proponents of dream journals. Here are some steps you can take to increase your dream recall:●When you go to bed, tell yourself you will remember your dreams.●Set your alarm to go off every hour and half so you'll wake up around the times that you leave REM sleep -- when you're most likely to remember your dreams. (Or, drink a lot of water before you go to bed to ensure you have to wake up at least once in the middle of the night!)●Keep a pad and pencil next to your bed.●Try to wake up slowly to remain within the "mood" of your last dream.Common Dream Themes and Their Interpretations●Being naked in publicMost of us have had the dream at some point that we're at school, work or some social event, and we suddenly realize we forgot to put on clothes! Experts say this means:◆We're trying to hide something (and without clothes we have a hard time doing that).◆We're not prepared for something, like a presentation or test (and now everyone is going to know -- we're exposed!).If we're naked but no one notices, then the interpretation is that whatever we're afraid of is unfounded. If we don't care that we're naked, the interpretation is that we're comfortable with who we are.●FallingY ou're falling, falling, falling... and then you wake up. This is a very common dream and is said to symbolize insecurities and anxiety. Something in your life is essentially out of control and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Another interpretation is that you have a sense of failure about something. Maybe you're not doing well in school or at work and are afraid you're going to be fired or expelled. Again, you feel that you can't control the situation.●Being chasedThe ever-popular chase dream can be extremely frightening. What it usually symbolizes is that you're running away from your problems. What that problem is depends on who is chasing you. It may be a problem at work, or it may be something about yourself that you know is destructive. For example, you may be drinking too much, and your dream may be telling you that your drinking is becoming a real problem.●Taking an exam (or forgetting that you have one)This is another very common dream. You suddenly realize you are supposed to be taking an exam at that very moment. Y ou might be running through the hallways and can't find the classroom. This type of dream can have several variations that have similar meanings. (Maybe your pen won't write, so you can't finish writing your answers.) What experts say this may mean is that you're being scrutinized about something or feel you're being tested -- maybe you're facing a challenge you don't think you're up to. Y ou don't feel prepared or able to hold up to the scrutiny. It may also mean there is something you've neglected that you know needs your attention.●FlyingMany flying dreams are the result of lucid dreaming (清醒梦). Not all flying dreams are, however. Typically, dreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things. Y ou are in control of the things that matter to you. Or, maybe you've just gained a new perspective on things. It may also mean you are strong willed and feel like no one and nothing can defeat you. If you are having problems maintaining your flight, someone or something may be standing in the way of you having control. If you are afraid while flying, you may have challenges that you don't feel up to.●Running, but going nowhereThis theme can also be part of the chasing dream. Y ou're trying to run, but either your legs won't move or you simply aren't going anywhere -- as if you were on a treadmill (踏车). According to some, this dream means you have too much on your plate. Y ou're trying to do too many things at once and can't catch up or ever get ahead.1. This passage mainly discusses different theories about why we have dreams at night.2. Early theories held that dreams were reflection of people’s real, physical worlds.3. According to physiological theories, dreaming allows us to sort through problems or events of the day that require our attention.4. REM occurs at the third and fourth stage during which we experience the deepest sleep.5. The reason why dreams do not seem important is that they are very difficult to remember.6. Trying to get recorded what you said or did in your dream can help increase your dream recall.7. If a person dreams he is naked but is not noticed by others, it means what he is afraid of is groundless.注意：此部分试题在答题卡1上作答；8－10题在答题卡1上。
