(45) ____________________________________________. I really like these old episodes of "The Twilight Zone" because the stories are fascinating. (46) _________________________.Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)Section AQuestions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.Walking, if you do it vigorously enough, is the overall best exercise for regular physical activity. It requires no equipment, everyone knows how to do it and it carries the 47 risk of injury. The human body is designed to walk. You can walk in parks or along a river or in your neighborhood. To get 48 benefit from walking, aim for 45 minutes a day, an average of five days a week.Strength training is another important 49 of physical activity. Its purpose is to build and 50 bone and muscle mass, both of which shrink with age. In general, you will want to do strength training two or three days a week, 51 recovery days between sessions.Finally, flexibility and balance training are 52 important as the body ages. Aches and pains are high on the list of complaints in old age. The result of constant muscle tension and stiffness of joints, many of them are 53 , and simple flexibility training can 54 these by making muscles stronger and keeping joints lubricated (润滑). Some of this you do whenever you stretch. If you watch dogs and cats, you’ll get an idea of how natural it is. The general 55 is simple: whenever the body has been in one position for a while, it is good to 56 stretch it in an opposite position.Section BPassage One Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Junk food is everywhere. We’re eating way too much of it. Most of us know what we’re doing and yet we do it anyway.So here’s a suggestion offered by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lesson from alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is sold and how it’s displayed?“Many policy measures to control obesity（肥胖症）assume that people consciously and rationally choose what and how much they eat and therefore focus on providing information and more access to healthier foods,” note the two researchers.“In contrast,” the researchers continue, “many regulations that don’t assume people make rational choices have been successfully applied to control alcohol, a substance — like food — of which immoderate consumption leads to serious health problems.”The research references studies of people’s behavior with food and alcohol and results of alcohol restrictions, and then lists five regulations that the researchers think might be promising if applied to junk foods. Among them:Density restrictions: licenses to sell alcohol aren’t handed out unplanned to all comers but are allotted （分配）based on the number of places in an area that already sell alcohol. These make alcohol less easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to drink.Similarly, the researchers say, being presented with junk food stimulates our desire to eat it. So why not limit the density of food outlets, particularly ones that sell food rich in empty calories? And why not limit sale of food in places that aren’t primarily food stores?Display and sales restrictions: California has a rule prohibiting alcohol displays near the cash registers in gas stations, and in most pla ces you can’t buy alcohol at drive-through facilities. At supermarkets, food companies pay to have their wares in places where they’re easily seen. One could remove junk food to theback of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines. The other measures include restricting portion sizes, taxing and prohibiting special price deals for junk foods, and placing warning labels on the products.57. What does the author say about junk food?A) People should be educated not to eat too much. B) It is widely consumed despite its ill reputation.C) Its temptation is too strong for people to resist. D) It causes more harm than is generally realized.58. What do the Rand researchers think of many of the policy measures to control obesity?A) They should be implemented effectively. B) They provide misleading information.C) They are based on wrong assumptions. D) They help people make rational choices.59. Why do policymakers of alcohol control place density restrictions?A) Few peop le are able to resist alcohol’s temptations.B) There are already too many stores selling alcohol.C) Drinking strong alcohol can cause social problems.D) Easy access leads to customers’ over-consumption.60. What is the purpose of California’s rule a bout alcohol display in gas stations?A) To effectively limit the density of alcohol outlets.B) To help drivers to give up the habit of drinking.C) To prevent possible traffic jams in nearby areas. D) To get alcohol out of drivers’ immediate sight.61. What is the general guideline the Rand researchers suggest about junk food control?A) Guiding people to make rational choices about food.B) Enhancing people’s awareness of their own health.C) Borrowing ideas from alcohol control measures.D) Resorting to economic, legal and psychological means.Passage Two Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Kodak’s decision to file for bankruptcy（破产）protection is a sad, though not unexpected, turning point for a leading American corporation that pioneered consumer photography and dominated the film market for decades, but ultimately failed to adapt to the digital revolution.Although many attribu te Kodak’s downfall to “complacency(自满) ,” that explanation doesn’t acknow-ledge the lengths to which the company went to reinvent itself. Decades ago, Kodak anticipated that digital photography would overtake film — and in fact, Kodak invented the first digital camera in 1975 —but in a fateful decision, the company chose to shelf its new discovery to focus on its traditional film business.It wasn’t that Kodak was blind to the future, said Rebecca Henderson, a professor at Harvard Business School, but rather that it failed to execute on a strategy to confront it. By the time the company realized its mistake, it was too late.Kodak is an example of a firm that was very much aware that they had to adapt, and spent a lot of money trying to do so, but ultimately failed. Large companies have a difficult time switching into new markets because there is a temptation to put existing assets into the new businesses.Although Kodak anticipated the inevitable rise of digital photography, its corporate（企业的）culture was too rooted in the successes of the past for it to make the clean break necessary to fully embrace the future. They were a company stuck in time. Their history was so important to them. Now their history has become a liability.Kodak’s downfall over the last several decades was dramatic. In 1976, the company commanded 90% of the market for photographic film and 85% of the market for cameras. But the 1980s brought new competition from Japanese film company Fuji Photo, which undermined Kodak by offering lower prices for film and photo supplies. Kodak’s decision not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was a major miscalculation. The bid went instead to Fuji, which exploited its sponsorship to win apermanent foothold in the marketplace.62. What do we learn about Kodak?A) It went bankrupt all of a sudden. B) It is approaching its downfall.C) It initiated the digital revolution in the film industry.D) It is playing a dominant role in the film market.63. Why do es the author mention Kodak’s invention of the first digital camera?A) To show its early attempt to reinvent itself. B) To show its effort to overcome complacency.C) To show its quick adaptation to the digital revolution.D) To show its will to com pete with Japan’s Fuji photo.64. Why do large companies have difficulty switching to new markets?A) They find it costly to give up their existing assets.B) They tend to be slow in confronting new challenges.C) They are unwilling to invest in new technology.D) They are deeply stuck in their glorious past.65. What does the author say Kodak’s history has become?A) A burden. B) A mirror. C) A joke. D) A challenge.66. What was Kodak’s fatal mistake?A) Its blind faith in traditional photography. B) Its failure to see Fuji photo’s emergence.C) Its refusal to sponsor the 1984 Olympics. D) Its overconfidence in its corporate culture.Part VI Translation (5 minutes)87.

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Can Digital Textbook Truly Replace the Print Kind?The shortcomings of traditional print edition textbooks are obvious: For starters they’re heavy, with the average physics textbook weighing 3.6 pounds. They’re also expensive, especially when you factor in the average college student’s limited budget, typically costing hundre ds of dollars every semester.But the worst part is that print version of textbooks are constantly undergoing revisions. Many professors require that their students use only the latest versions in the classroom, essentially rendering older texts unusable. For students, it means they’re basically stuck with a four pound paper-weight that they can’t sell back.Which is why digital textbooks, if they live up to their promise, could help ease many of these shortcomings. But till now, they’ve been something li ke a mirage（幻影）in the distance, more like a hazy（模糊的）dream than an actual reality. Imagine the promise: Carrying all your textbooks in a 1.3 pound iPad? It sounds almost too good to be true.But there are a few pilot schools already making the transition（过渡）over to digital books. Universities like Cornell and Brown have jumped onboard. And one medical program at the University of California, Irvine, gave their entire class iPads with which to download textbooks just last year.But not all were eager to jump aboard.“People were tired of using the iPad textbook besides using it for reading,” says Kalpit Shah, who will be going into his second year at Irvine’s medical program this fall. “They weren’t using it as a source of communication because they couldn’t read or write in it. So a third of the people in my program were using the iPad in class to take notes, the other third were using laptops and the last third were using paper and pencil.”The reason it hasn’t caught on yet, he tells me, is that the fun ctionality of e-edition textbooks is incredibly limited, and some students just aren’t motivated to learn new study behavior.But a new application called Inkling might change all that. The company just released an updated version last week, and it’ll be utilized in over 50 undergraduate and graduate classrooms this coming school year.“Digital textbooks are not going to catch on,” says Inkling CEO Matt Maclnnis as he’s giving me a demo（演⽰）over coffee.“What I mean by that is the current perspective of th e digital textbook is it’s an exact copy of the print book. There’s Course Smart, etc., these guys who take any image of the page and put it on a screen. If that’s how we’re defining digital textbooks, there’s no hope of that becoming a mainstream product.”He calls Inkling a platform for publishers to build rich multimedia content from the ground up, with a heavy emphasis on real-world functionality. The traditional textbook merely serves as a skeleton.At first glance Inkling is an impressive experience. After swiping（敲击）into the iPad app (应⽤软件), which you can get for free here, he opens up a few different types of textbooks.Up first is a chemistry book. The boot time is pretty fast, and he navigates through (浏览) afew chapters before swiping into a fully rendered 3D molecule that can be spun around to view its various building blocks.“Publishers give us all of the source media, artwork, videos,” he says, “We help them think through how to actually build something for this platform.”Next he pulls u p a music composition textbook, complete with playable demos. It’s a learning experience that attacks you from multiple sensory directions. It’s clear why this would be something a music major would love.But the most exciting part about Inkling, to me, is its notation（批注）system. Here’s how it works!When you purchase a used print book, it comes with its previous owner’s highlights and notes in the margins. It uses the experience of someone who already went through the class to help improve your reading (how much you trust each notation is obviously up to you).But with lnkling, you can highlight a piece of content and make notes. Here’s where things get interesting, though: If a particularly important passage is highlighted by multiple lnkling users, that information is stored on the cloud and is available for anyone reading the same textbook to come across. That means users have access to notes from not only their classmates and Facebook friends, but anyone who purchased the book across the country. The best comments are then sorted democratically by a voting system, meaning that your social learning experience is shared with the best and brightest thinkers.As a bonus, professors can even chime in (插话) on discussions. They’ll be able to answer the questions of students who are in their class directly via the interactive book.Of course, Inkling addresses several of the other shortcomings in traditional print as well. Textbook versions are constanly updated, motivating publishers by minimizing production costs (the big ones like McGraw-Hill are already onboard). Furthermore, students will be able to purchase sections of the text instead of buying the whole thing, with individual chapters costing as little as $2.99.There are, however, challenges.“It takes efforts to build each book,” Maclnnis tells me. And it’s clear why.Each interactive textbook is a media-heavy experience built from the ground up, and you can tell that it takes a respectable amount of manpower to put together each one.For now the app is also iPad-exclusive, and though a few of these educational institutions are giving the hardware away for free, for other students who don’t have such a luxury it’s an added layer of cost — and an expensive one at that.But this much is clear. The traditional textbook model is and has been broken for quite some time. Whether digitally interactive ones like Inkling actually take off or not remains to be seen, and we probably won’t have a definite answer for the next few years.However the solution to any problem begins with a step in a direction. And at least for now, that hazy mirage in the distance?A little more tangible (可触摸的), a little less of a dream.1. The biggest problem with traditional print textbooks is that _____. A)A) they are not reused once a new edition comes outB) they cost hundreds of dollars every semesterC) they are too heavy to carry aroundD) they take a longer time to revise2. What does the author say about digital textbooks?A) It’s not likely t hey will replace traditional textbooks.B) They haven’t fixed all the shortcomings of print books.C) Very few of them are available in the market.D) Many people still have difficulty using them.3. According to Kalpit Shah, some students still use paper and pencil because _____.A) they find it troublesome to take notes with an iPadB) they are unwilling to change their study behaviorC) they have get tired of reading on the iPadD) they are not used to reading on the screen4. Inkling CEO Matt Maclnnis explains that the problem with Course Smart’s current digital textbooks is that _____.A) they have to be revised repeatedlyB) they are inconvenient to use in classC) they are different from most mainstream productsD) they are no more than print versions put on a screen5. Matt Maclnnis describes the updated version of lnkling as _____.A) a good example of the mainstream productsB) a marvelous product of many creative ideasC) a platform for building multimedia contentD) a mere skeleton of traditional textbooks6. The author is most excited about lnkling’s notation system because one can_____.A) share his learning experience with the best and brightest thinkersB) participate in discussions with classmates and Facebook friendsC) vote for the best learners democraticallyD) store information on the cloud7. One additional advantage of the interactive digital textbook is that _____.A) students can switch to different discussions at any pointB) students can download relevant critical commentsC) professors can join in students’ online discussionsD) professors can give prompt feedback to students’ homework8. One of the challenges to build an interactive digital textbook from the ground up is that is takesa great deal of _____.9.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Junk food is everywhere. We’re eating way too much of it. Most of us know what we’re doing and yet we do it anyway.So here’s a suggestion offered by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lesson from alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is sold and how it’s displayed?“Many policy measures to control obesity（肥胖症）assume that people consciously and rationally choose what and how much they eat and therefore focus on providing information and mor e access to healthier foods,” note the two researchers.“In contrast,” the researchers continue, “many regulations that don’t assume people make rational choices have been successfully applied to control alcohol, a substance — like food — of which immoder ate consumption leads to serious health problems.”The research references studies of people’s behavior with food and alcohol and results of alcohol restrictions, and then lists five regulations that the researchers think might be promising if applied to junk foods. Among them:Density restrictions: licenses to sell alcohol aren’t handed out unplanned to all comers but are allotted（分配）based on the number of places in an area that already sell alcohol. These make alcohol less easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to drink.Similarly, the researchers say, being presented with junk food stimulates our desire to eat it. So why not limit the density of food outlets, particularly ones that sell food rich in empty calories? And why not limit sa le of food in places that aren’t primarily food stores?Display and sales restrictions: California has a rule prohibiting alcohol displays near the cash registers in gas stations, and in most places you can’t buy alcohol at drive-through facilities. At su permarkets, food companies pay to have their wares in places where they’re easily seen. One could remove junk food to the back of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines. The other measures include restricting portion sizes, taxing and prohibiting special price deals for junk foods, and placing warning labels on the products.57. What does the author say about junk food?A) People should be educated not to eat too much.B) It is widely consumed despite its ill reputation.C) Its temptation is too strong for people to resist.D) It causes more harm than is generally realized.58. What do the Rand researchers think of many of the policy measures to control obesity?A) They should be implemented effectively.B) They provide misleading information.C) They are based on wrong assumptions.D) They help people make rational choices.59. Why do policymakers of alcohol control place density restrictions?A) Few people are able to resist alcohol’s temptations.B) There are already too many stores selling alcohol.C) Drinking strong alcohol can cause social problems.D) Easy access leads to customers’ over-consumption.60. What is the purpose of California’s rule about alcohol display in gas stations?A) To effectively limit the density of alcohol outlets.B) To help drivers to give up the habit of drinking.C) To prevent possible traffic jams in nearby areas.D) To get alcohol out of drivers’ immediate sight.61. What is the general guideline the Rand researchers suggest about junk food control?A) Guiding people to make rational choices about food.B) Enhancing people’s awareness of their own health.C) Borrowing ideas from alcohol control measures.D) Resorting to economic, legal and psychological means.Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Kodak’s decision to file for bankruptcy（破产）protection is a sad, though not unexpected, turning point for a leading American corporation that pioneered consumer photography and dominated the film market for decades, but ultimately failed to adapt to the digital revolution.Although many attribute Kodak’s downfall to “complacency(⾃满) ,” that explanation doesn’t acknow-ledge the lengths to which the company went to reinvent itself. Decades ago, Kodak anticipated that digital photography would overtake film —and in fact, Kodak invented the first digital camera in 1975 — but in a fateful decision, the company chose to shelf its new discovery to focus on its traditional film business.It wasn’t that Kodak was blin d to the future, said Rebecca Henderson, a professor at Harvard Business School, but rather that it failed to execute on a strategy to confront it. By the time the company realized its mistake, it was too late.Kodak is an example of a firm that was very much aware that they had to adapt, and spent a lot of money trying to do so, but ultimately failed. Large companies have a difficult time switching into new markets because there is a temptation to put existing assets into the new businesses.Although Kodak anticipated the inevitable rise of digital photography, its corporate（企业的）culture was too rooted in the successes of the past for it to make the clean break necessary to fully embrace the future. They were a company stuck in time. Their history was so important to them. Now their history has become a liability.Kodak’s downfall over the last several decades was dramatic. In 1976, the company commanded 90% of the market for photographic film and 85% of the market for cameras. But the 1980s brought new competition from Japanese film company Fuji Photo, which undermined Kodak by offering lower prices for film and photo supplies. Kodak’s decision not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was a major miscalculation. The bid went instead to Fuji, which exploited its sponsorship to win a permanent foothold in the marketplace.62. What do we learn about Kodak?A) It went bankrupt all of a sudden.B) It is approaching its downfall.C) It initiated the digital revolution in the film industry.D) It is playing a dominant role in the film market.63. Why does the author mention Kodak’s invention of the first digital camera?A) To show its early attempt to reinvent itself.B) To show its effort to overcome complacency.C) To show its quick adaptation to the digital revolution.D) To show its will to compete with Japan’s Fuji photo.64. Why do large companies have difficulty switching to new markets?A) They find it costly to give up their existing assets.B) They tend to be slow in confronting new challenges.C) They are unwilling to invest in new technology.D) They are deeply stuck in their glorious past.65. What does the author say Kodak’s history has become?A) A burden.B) A mirror.C) A joke.D) A challenge.66. What was Kodak’s fatal mistake?A) Its blind faith in traditional photography.B) Its failure to see Fuji photo’s emergence.C) Its refusal to sponsor the 1984 Olympics.D) Its overconfidence in its corporate culture.Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Whether you think you need daytime rest or not, picking up a nap（午睡）habit is a smart, healthy move. The Mayo Clinic says naps 67 relaxation, better mood and alertness, and a sharper working 68 .

2013年6月英语四级真题及答案【全】Part I Writing对白：儿子： Dad, I'm a bit worried about disposing of nuclear waste（处理核废料）爸爸： If you can empty the dustbin（垃圾筒） here, you can do anything！范文：The picture shows us a dialogue between a father and a son. The son told his father, “Dad, I’m a bit worried about disposing of nuclear waste”. While his father told him, “If you can empty the dustbin here you can do anything”. It reveals the importance of doing small things well before undertaking something big. There is also an old Chinese saying to go with this that a person can’t sweep the world before he can sweep his own room.Unquestionably, doing small things is the first step of success and will layroot for doing something big. By doing something small, we are enabled to accumulate experience, master skills and train ourselves to be more patient. In other word, we can be well prepared for further challenges in the course of fulfilling small things. By contrast, those who set out to do something big will be constantly haunted by disappointment, frustrations or even failures. As when opportunity “something big” appears, they can hardly seize them because of the lack of experience and confidence stems from doing small things.Taking the picture presented above as a case in point, how can the little boy succeedin disposing of nuclear weapons if he even doesn’t know how to empty the dustbin?From my perspective, under no circumstances should we undervalue the power of doing small things. Instead, we should regard small things as the source of experience, skills and the prerequisite of success. “Great achievement only belongs to those who can do small things perfectly.”Aristotle once said.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1.A. they are not rescued once a new edition comes out2.

⽆忧考为⼤家整理了专四考试真题：2013年英语专业四级真题及答案(友版)，仅供参考！！【听写（络版）】 What is a dream for One theory is that we dream to release the deep, secret desires. We do not express these desires in real life because of the rules of polite society. Another theory is that dreams allow us to solve problems that we can't solve in real life. We go to sleep with a problem and wake up with the solution. This may be a way to use our dreams rather than a purpose of dreaming. If you believe that your dreams are important then analysing them may help you to focus on the problem and help you to find the solution.The modern image is that dreams are the brain's way of cleaning up the computer’s hard disk. Dreams organize the events of the day into folders and delete what is not needed. But we all know that very little of what we dream is concerned with what happened to us that day.Everyone knows that taxation is necessary in a modern state: Without it, it would not be possible to pay the soldiers and policemen who protect us；nor the workers in government offices who look after our health, our food, our water, and all the other things that we cannot do for ourselves；nor the ministers and members of parliament(国会) who govern the country for us. By means of taxation, we pay for things that we need just as much as we need somewhere to live and something to eat. But everyone knows that taxation is necessary, different people have different ideas about how taxation should be arranged. Should each person have to pay a certain amount of money to the government each year? Or should there be tax on things that people buy and sell? If the first kind of taxation is used, should everyone pay the same tax, whether he is rich or poor? If the second kind of tax is preferred, should everything be taxed equally? In most countries, a direct tax on persons, which is called income tax, exists. It is arranged in such a way that the poorest people pay nothing, and the percentage of tax grows greater as the taxpayer’s income grows. In England, for example, the tax on the richest people goes up as high as ninety-five percent! But countries with direct taxation nearly always have indirect taxation too. Many things imported into the country have to pay taxes or “duties”. Of course, it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops who really have to pay the duties, in the form of higher prices. In some countries, too, there is a tax on things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected, but the poor people suffer most. If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed, less money is got but the tax is fairer, as the rich pay it. Probably this last kind of indirect tax, together with a direct tax on incomes which is low for the poor and high for the rich, is the best arrangement. 【语法部分真题及答案解析】51.

It's like a challenge to see if we can understand English and use it to talk, write, and read. It's a bit tough, but it's also a chance for us to show what we've learned.Now, let's talk about the average scores. The average score tells us how well students, on average, did in the exam. It's like the middle point of all the scores. If the average score is high, it means most students did well. If it's low, it means we need to work harder.So, what is the average score? Well, it changes every year. The average score depends on how difficult the exam is and how much we study. In recent years, the average score for the National College English Major Band 4 Exam has been around 450 points out of 710. That's not too bad, right?But remember, the average score is just a number. It doesn't mean that everyone gets that score. Some students do better, and some may not do as well. The important thing is to try our best and improve our English skills.Now, you might be wondering why this average score is important. Well, it helps the teachers and schools understand how well they are teaching English. If the average score is low, it means they may need to change their teaching methods. It's a way for them to know if they are doing a good job or if they need to make some changes.For us students, the average score can also motivate us to study harder. If we see that the average score is high, it means we can do it too! It gives us a goal to aim for and shows us what is possible.In conclusion, the average score of the National College English Major Band 4 Exam is an important number that tells us how well students, on average, did in the exam. It helps teachersimprove their teaching methods and motivates us students to work harder. So, let's keep studying English and aim for a high average score!I hope you enjoyed reading this article! Keep learning and never give up! Good luck with your studies!篇2English is Soooo Cool!Hi friends! Today I'm going to tell you all about the big English test that college students have to take. It's called the National English Major Level 4 Exam. Sounds super important, right?I don't actually take that test yet since I'm just a kid. But my older cousin Jerry is a college student, and he had to take it last year. He told me all about it, and I thought it was really fascinating!Jerry said the test was really, really long and tough. It had listening, reading, writing, and speaking sections. He had to listen to recordings and answer questions, read passages and show he understood, write an essay, and even have aconversation with a teacher! Phew, that's a lot of English crammed into one test.But Jerry worked really hard to prepare. He took practice tests, studied vocabulary, and even joined an English club on campus to get more speaking practice. He said preparing for the test helped him get much better at all areas of English.When the big test day came, Jerry was superrrr nervous. He said his palms were sweating and his heart was racing. But he took some deep breaths and tried to stay calm and focused. The test was definitely challenging, but Jerry felt prepared after all his hard work.A few weeks later, Jerry got his score report in the mail. He scored in the 80th percentile, which is really good! That means he did better than 80% of all the other test takers across the whole country. Go Jerry!Jerry wasn't the only one though. His university actually had some of the highest average scores in the nation on that exam. The average score for English majors at his school was 88 out of 100! Can you believe that? Those students must be English superstars!Some other universities had really high average scores too. Like Beijing Foreign Studies University, their average was 92. And Nanjing University's average was 90. Those are some crazy high numbers!On the flip side, there were some schools that didn't do as well. The national average score was only 72, which is still a passing score but not that high. And at a few universities, the average was even lower, like in the 60s. Those students probably struggled a lot with the exam.From what Jerry told me, doing well on that big test is super important for English majors. The scores can impact their future job prospects after graduation. Employers really pay attention to them.So if you dream of becoming an amazing English speaker and want to study it in college someday, you'll need to work really hard! Study those vocabulary words, practice your listening and speaking, and get ready to blow that Level 4 exam out of the water. If Jerry can do it, so can you!Okay, that's all I've got to share about that crazy English test. Thanks for reading my article! English is just so fascinating to me.I can't wait until I'm older and get to take big, important tests like that too. Though I'll definitely be nervous, just like Jerry!For now, I'm working on mastering all the basics at my level - reading fun stories, building my vocabulary, and practicing speaking and pronunciation. One day, I'll be the English superstar taking that Level 4 exam. You just wait and see!Talk to you all again soon. Bye-bye!篇3The Average Scores of the National College English Test for English MajorsHello, everyone! Today, I want to share some interesting information with you. Do you know about the National College English Test for English Majors? It's a big test that students who study English in college need to take. And guess what? I found out the average scores for this exam!The National College English Test for English Majors, also known as the CET-4, is an important exam for English students all over the country. It measures our English language proficiency in listening, reading, writing, and translation. The higher the score, the better we are at English.Now, let's talk about the average scores. Last year, the average score for the CET-4 exam was 75 out of 100. Isn't thatamazing? It means that on average, students got 75 questions right out of 100. That's like getting a solid B grade!But wait, there's more! The average scores have been improving over the years. Five years ago, the average score was only 70. So, it's clear that students are working hard and getting better at English. Isn't that great news?You might be wondering why these scores are important. Well, the CET-4 exam is not only a test of our English skills but also a requirement for graduation. Many colleges and universities set a passing score for this exam, and if we don't reach that score, we have to take the test again. So, it's crucial for us to do well.How do students prepare for the CET-4 exam? Well, we study English grammar, vocabulary, and practice our listening and reading skills a lot. We also take mock exams to get a feel for the real test. It can be challenging, but with hard work and determination, we can achieve good scores.Remember, the average scores are just numbers. They don't define our abilities or determine our future success. What matters most is our passion for learning and our willingness to improve. English is a fun and useful language, and by studying hard, we can become fluent speakers and skilled communicators.In conclusion, the average score for the National College English Test for English Majors is 75. It shows that students are making progress and becoming better at English. Let's keep up the good work and continue to improve our language skills. Remember, practice makes perfect!I hope you enjoyed learning about the average scores of the CET-4 exam. Keep working hard and never stop learning!篇4The Big English Test for College KidsHi there! My name is Lily and I'm 8 years old. I love learning about all sorts of things, especially if they have to do with kids a little older than me. Today I want to tell you about a really big test that college students have to take if they are studying English.It's called the TEM-4 which I think stands for Test for English Majors Level 4. I'm not totally sure what that means, but I know it's a nationwide exam that almost all college kids majoring in English have to take before they can graduate. Kinda like how we have to take those big standardized tests in elementary school, but this one is just for older English students.From what I've heard, the TEM-4 tests you on pretty much everything related to the English language - reading, writing, listening, speaking, translation, you name it! It covers all the grammar rules, vocabulary words, famous writers and literature, and even some linguistics stuff about how languages work. No wonder English majors have to study so hard!Every year, hundreds of thousands of college students take this big exam. I can't even imagine having to know that much English all at once. Just learning the basics of it in school is hard enough for me sometimes! The test is supposed to make sure students meet national standards before getting their English degrees.Anyway, you're probably wondering how students do on this huge test each year. Well, based on the statistics I found, the average scores aren't too bad! Last year, the mean score nationwide was 68.23 out of 100 points. That's pretty good considering how difficult the exam is supposed to be. Though I guess a 68 isn't an A+...more like a B+ or something.The scores varied a bit between different provinces and cities though. Students in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai tended to score higher, with averages in the 70s. While some of themore rural provinces had means in the 60s. That makes sense since the top universities are located in those major cities.There were also differences depending on the university level. Students at prestigious universities like Tsinghua and Peking University had much higher average TEM-4 scores, some even in the 80s! The exam must be easier for them since they're at the best schools. Key universities were next with scores around 75 on average. Regular universities and colleges had averages closer to 65.Strangely, the statistics showed that female students tended to perform a little better than males on the TEM-4, but only by a tiny bit. Their average was like 68.9 compared to 67.4 for boys. I'm not sure why there's that small difference, but good job girls!No matter the province, university, or gender though, getting a high score on the TEM-4 is a big accomplishment. From what I've read, a score of 80 or higher is considered excellent. Only about 15% of test takers managed to reach that level last year. An 80 would be an A for sure!On the flip side, any score below 60 is considered a fail. About 25% of students didn't meet that minimum last year and had to retake the test. That must be so disappointing afterstudying English for four whole years! I really hope I don't flunk that many tests when I get to college.Those are the basics when it comes to the TEM-4 average scores across China. It's crazy to think there's one standardized test that almost all English majors nationwide have to take. Can you imagine having to prove your skills in an entire language before graduating? I'm honestly not sure if I'd be able to pass it or not. Yeesh!I still have a long ways to go before worrying about any huge college exams though. For now, I'm just focused on learning the fundamentals - vocabulary, grammar, reading simple books. Who knows, maybe understanding the TEM-4 now will help motivate me to become an English expert when I'm older! Anywho, I'm getting a little sick of talking about tests, so I'm gonna go play outside. Let me know if you need me to explain any other confusing grown-up stuff!篇5The Average Score of National College English Major Level-4 ExaminationHello everyone! Today, I want to talk about something very important – the average score of the National College EnglishMajor Level-4 Examination. It may sound like a mouthful, but don't worry, I'll explain everything in a way that even a primary school student can understand!So, what is the National College English Major Level-4 Examination? Well, it's a big test that college students in China take to show their English skills. It's like a challenge to see how well they can read, write, listen, and speak in English. Just like when we take tests in school, they have to study and prepare for this special test.Now, let's talk about the average score. The average score is the total of all the scores that students get on the test, divided by the number of students who took the test. It's like finding the middle point or the balance of all the scores. It helps us understand how well students, on average, are doing in the test.In recent years, the average score of the National College English Major Level-4 Examination has been improving. This is really good news because it means that students are working hard and getting better at English! The average score shows that more and more students are achieving good results in the test.But why is it important to know the average score? Well, the average score helps us understand how students are performing overall. It also helps universities and colleges make decisionsabout their English programs. If the average score is low, it might mean that changes need to be made to improve the teaching and learning of English. On the other hand, if the average score is high, it shows that students are doing well and the English programs are effective.So, how do students prepare for the National College English Major Level-4 Examination? They study hard, practice a lot, and use different resources to improve their English skills. They attend English classes, read English books, watch English movies, and listen to English songs. Some students even form study groups and help each other prepare for the test. It's all about dedication and perseverance.Remember, the average score is just a number. It doesn't define a person's worth or intelligence. Some students may get higher scores, and some may get lower scores, but what matters is that they tried their best. The most important thing is to keep learning and improving, no matter what the score is.In conclusion, the average score of the National College English Major Level-4 Examination is a way to understand how well students are doing in the test. It shows that students are working hard and getting better at English. Remember, it's not just about the score, but about the effort and dedicationstudents put into learning English. So, keep studying, keep practicing, and keep improving! Good luck to all the students taking the test!I hope you enjoyed reading this article!篇6全国高校英语专业四级考试成绩平均分嗨，大家好！我是小明，一个小学生。

影响学生大学英语四级考试成绩的因素与对策作者：于翠叶来源：《疯狂英语·教师版》2013年第02期摘要：大学英语四级考试是一项大规模的外语考试，受到了来自于师生、学校和社会的极大关注。

本文通过问卷调查分析影响大学英语四级考试成绩的因素，作者提出大学英语教师要帮助学生打好英语基础，培养良好的学习习惯；帮助学生消除过度的考试焦虑感，培养学生学习英语的内在动机；帮助学生端正学习态度，培养自主学习能力；改进教学方法，有效指导学生进行四级复习。

只有这样才能提高大学英语教学效率，使学生在大学英语四级考试中取得好成绩。

关键词：大学英语；四级考试；学习动机；学习态度；教学效率[中图分类号]H319.3[文献标识码]A[文章编号]1006-2831（2013）05-0062-4 doi：10.3969/j.issn.1006-2831.2013.02.0171 . 引言大学英语四级考试于1987年正式实施，它是由国家教育部高教司主持的一种标准化考试，在我国外语教学界产生了重大影响。

不少高校把四级考试成绩和学士学位挂钩，各种评估机构对学校办学水平进行评估时也把四级通过率作为重要指标之一，许多用人单位在招聘员工时也非常重视应聘者的英语水平。

大学英语四级考试是一项大规模的外语考试，受到了来自于师生、学校和社会的极大关注，它关系到学生的前途和学校的名望。

在这样一种大环境的影响下，郑州大学西亚斯国际学院也特别重视学生的四级通过率，采取了一些针对教师和学生的激励措施，但每次四级考试的总体成绩还不够理想。

因此，我们课题组成员进行了为期一年的调查研究，旨在找出影响非英语专业大学生四级考试成绩的因素，探讨提高四级通过率的对策，从而提高大学英语教学效率。

2 . 影响学生四级考试成绩的因素调查与分析为了调查影响非英语专业学生四级考试成绩的因素，课题组对西亚斯国际学院大学英语教学部的70位老师进行了分组访谈，他们都工作在教学第一线，所教学生基本上都参加过四级考试，对本校学生英语学习状况和大学英语四级考试情况比较了解，多数老师就此问题以教研室为单位展开了热烈深入的讨论；另外，我们课题组还对其他院系的10名有教学经验的老师进行了个别访谈，他们对大学英语教学以及四级考试也非常感兴趣，并提出了宝贵的建议。
