Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark 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.Antarctica has actually become a kind of space station—a unique observation post for detecting important changes in the world’s environment.S1 Remote from major sourc es of pollution and the complex geological and ecological systems that prevail elsewhere, Antarctica makes possible scientific measurements that are often sharper and easier to interpret than those made in other parts of the world.Growing numbers of scientists therefore see Antarctica as a distant early warning sensor, where potentially dangerous global trends may be spotted before they show up to the north. One promising field of investigation is glaciology. Scholars from the United States, Switzerland, and France are pursuing seven separate but related projects that reflect their concern for the health of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet—a concern they believe the world at large should share.The Transantarctic Mountain, some of them more than 14,000 feet high, divide the continent into two very different regions. The part of the continent to the “east” of the mountains is a high plateau covered by an ice sheet nearly two miles thick. “West” of the mountain, the half of the continent south of the Americas is also covered by an ice sheet, but there the ice rests on rock that is mostly well below sea level. If theWest Antarctic Ice Sheet disappeared, the western part of the continent would be reduced to a sparse cluster of island.While ice and snow are obviously central to many environmental experiments, others focus on the mysterious“dry valley”of Antarctica, valleys that contain little ice or snow even in the depths of winter. Slashed through the mountains of southern Victoria land, these valleys once held enormous glaciers that descend 9,000 feet from the polar plateau to the Ross Sea.Now the glaciers are gone, perhaps a casualty of the global warming trend during the 10,000 years since the ice age. Even the snow that falls in the dry valleys is blasted out by vicious winds that roar down from the polar plateau to the sea. Left bare are spectacular gorges, rippled fields of sand dunes, clusters of boulders(大圆石)sculptured into fantastic shapes by 100mile an hour winds, and an aura of extraterrestrial desolation.Despite the unearthly aspect of the dry valleys, some scientists believe that they may carry a message of hope for the verdant(草木繁茂的)parts of the earth. Some scientists believe that in some cases the dry valleys may soak up pollutants faster than pollutants enter them.21.Antarctica is scientifically important in that ____.A) it is a space stationB) it is an ideal place for the investigation of glaciologyC) there is the mysterious dry valleyD) it can help people detect global environmental changes22.The reason for the disappearance of glaciers in the dry valley is ____.A) that they’ve desended to the Ross seaB) that they’ve been blasted out by vicious windsC) the global warming trend ever since the ice ageD) that they’ve been change d into gorges,sand dunes and boulders23.When the author calls Antarctica “distant early warning sensor”, heactually means that ____.A) such equipment has been set up for scientific purposeB) the research groups there are like such kind of sensorsC) potential global changes can be seen on Antarctica firstD) Antarctica is remote from other parts of the earth24.Which of the following statements is true according to the article?A) There is a cluster of island west of the Transantartic Mountain.B) Scientific research on Antarctica only centers on the ice and snow there.C) Dry valleys may be a place to dispose of our pollutants.D) All the countries on earth should be concerned about the health of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.25.The word “spotted”(2nd paragraph)can best be replaced by____.A) placedB) noticedC) fixedD) judgedPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The Carnegie Foundation report says that many colleges have tried to be “all things to all people”. In doing so, they have increasingly catered to a narrow minded careerism while failingto cultivate a global vision among their students.The current crisis, it contends, does not derive from a legitimate desire to put learning to productive ends. The problem is that in too many academic fields,the work has no context; skills, rather than being means, have become ends.Students are offered a variety of options and allowed to pick their way to a degree. In short, driven by careerism, “the nation’s colleges and universities are more successful in providing credentials(文凭)than in providing a quality education for their students.” The report concludes that the special challenge confronting the undergraduate college is one of shaping an “integrated core” of common learning. Such a core would introduce students “to essential knowledge, to connections across the disciplines, and in the end, to application of knowledge to life beyond the campus.”Although the key to a good college is a high quality faculty, the Carnegie study found that most colleges do very little to encourage good teaching. In fact, they do much to undermine it. As one professor observed:“Teaching is important, we are told, and yet faculty know that research and publication matter most.” Not surprisingly, over the last twenty years colleges and universities have failed to graduate half of their four year degree candidates. Faculty members who dedicate themselves to teaching soon discover that they will not be granted tenure (终身任期), promotion, or substantial salary increases. Yet 70 percent of all faculty say their interests lie more in teaching than in research. Additionally, a frequent complaint among young scholars is that “There is pressure to publish, although there isvirtually no interest among administrators or colleagues in the content of the publications.”26.When a college tries to be “all things to all people”(lines 2, Para. Ⅰ), it aims to ____.A) satisfy the needs of all kinds of students simultaneouslyB) focus on training students in various skillsC) encourage all sorts of people to attend collegeD) make learning serve academic rather than productive ends27.The word “core”(lines 15, 1st paragraph) might mean____.A) aimB) unitC) centerD) course28.One of the reasons for the current crisis in American colleges and universities is that ____.A) a narrow vocationalism has come to dominate many collegesB) students don’t have enough freedom in choosing what they want to learnC) skills are being taught as a means to an endD) students are not interested in learning29.American colleges and universities failed to graduate half of their fouryear degree candidates because ____.A) most of them lack high quality faculitesB) students are becoming more and more lazyC) there are not enough incentives for students to study hardD) they attach greater importance to research and publication than to teaching30.It can be inferred from the passage that high quality college educationcalls for ____.A) high quality facultiesB) a commitment to students and effective teachingC) the cultivation of students’ interest in learningD) dedication to research in frontier areas of knowledgePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The U.S. birthrate began to decline in the middle 1950’s, resulting in a smallercollege age population starting in the middle 1970’s.S4 Something else happened in the 1970’s: the price of oil increased tremendously, driving up the price of almost everything and making Americans aware that their large automobiles used a lot of gasoline. At the same time, foreign car manufacturers had begun to produce small fuel efficient cars in large quantities for the export market. Suddenly, the large, gas guzzling American cars were no longer attractive to American buyers, who began buying foreign cars by the thousands. The American automobile industry went into a recession. Thousands of automotive workers were laid off, as were thousands of people in industries indirectly connected with the auto industry. People who are laid off tend to keep what money they have for necessities, like food and housing. They do not have the extra money needed to send their children to college. Their children cannot pay their own college costs, because during a recession they cannot find jobs. Highunemployment means that more state funds must be used for social service—unemployment benefits and to aid dependent children, for example—than during more prosperous times. It also means, that the states have fewer funds than usual, because people are paying fewer taxes. Institutions of higher education depend on two major sources of income to keep them functioning: tuition from students and funds from the states. At the present time, there are fewer students than in the past and fewer state funds available for higher education. The colleges and universities are in trouble.31.What is the main idea of this passage?A) The rising of oil price drove up the price of everything.B) There were many reasons why higher education was in trouble in the 1970’s.C) Birthrate began to decline in the USA in 1950’s.D) High unemployment caused a lot of social problems.32.The phrase “laid off” can best be replaced by which of the following?A) Poor .B) Got rid of.C) Removed.D) Unemployed.33.American cars were not popular in their domestic markets because they were____.A) smallB) gas consumingC) fuel efficientD) not attractive34.The colleges and universities were in trouble because of the following reasons except that ____.A) they couldn’t get enough income to keep them runningB) young people couldn’t afford the tuition feesC) keeping them running at the same level would cost much moreD) social services need more state funds because of the recession35.All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ____.A) young people couldn’t afford their own tuition in the 1970’sB) it’s difficult for graduates from colleges to find a job in the 1970’sC) fewer parents could afford to send their children to college because ofthe recession in 1970’sD) Birthrate dropped in the 1970’s because of the recessionPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything that goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to findout how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recyclingwaste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metalsuch as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after thatgrounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken. Finally the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.The first full scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, somebig cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.36.The main purpose of the passage is ____.A) to show us a future way of recycling wastesB) to tell the importance of recycling wastesC) to warn people the danger of some wastesD) to introduce a new recycling plant37.How many stages are there in the recycling process?A) 3.B) 4.C) 5.D) 6.38.What is the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?A) To deal with wastes in a better way.B) It’s a good way to gain profits.C) It’s more economical than to dump wastes in some distant places.D) Energy can be got at a lower price.39.The first full—scale huge recycling plants ____.A) have been in existence for 15 yearsB) takes 15 years to buildC) can’t be built until 15 years laterD) will remain functioning for 15 years40.Which of the following statements is true?A) The word “rubbish” will soon disappear from dictionaries.B) Dangerous wastes can be recycled into nothing but energy.C) T o recycle paper and rubber will still be impossible even with the new recycling methods.D) Big cities will soon have their own recycling plants.PartⅢVocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

P.Richard Weinerman, professor of medicine and public health. Dr. Weinerman’s sharp indictment o f the automobile came in a discussion of human environment on Yale Reports, a radio program broadcast by Station WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut. The program opened a three part series on “Staying Alive”.“For the first time in human history, the problem of m an’s survival has to do with his control of man made hazards,” Dr. Weinerman said.“Before this, the problem had been the control of natural hazards.”Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.11.What is the main idea of the passage?12.Why could automobiles cause heart disease?13.For the 1st time,what does the problem of man’s survival have to do with?Passage TwoA small dog brought disaster to a small English town last week.

大学英语四级考试练习题一答案分析Part I WritingShould College Students Hold Credit Cards?With the rapid development of the economy, credit cards have been winding their way into campus life. According to a recent survey, the number of college students who possess one or more credit cards has been increasing continually during the past five years.With credit cards, college students can buy a wide variety of goods, especially those of great and urgent needs, such as daily necessities, electronic products, stationery and books. That can help to improve the quality of students9 life. However, holding a credit card may also make one purchase on impulse, which may result in a heavy financial burden and even a credit crisis.As far as I'm concerned, credit cards are not necessities for college students. And for those who already have a credit card, I think it is quite important to set up a concept of rational consumption.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1. A2. C3. C4. D5. B6. A7.

中国名校英语四级密卷（1）Part ⅡReading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark 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.Antarctica has actually become a kind of space station—a unique observation post for detecting important chan ges in the world’s environment.S1 Remote from major sources of pollution and the complex geological and ecological systems that prevail elsewhere, Antarctica makes possible scientific measurements that are often sharper and easier to interpret than those made in other parts of the world.Growing numbers of scientists therefore see Antarctica as a distant early warning sensor, where potentially dangerous global trends may be spotted before they show up to the north. One promising field of investigation is glaciology. Scholars from the United States, Switzerland, and France are pursuing seven separate but related projects that reflect their concern for the health of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet—a concern they believe the world at large should share.The Transantarctic Mountain, some of them more than 14,000 feet high, divide the continent into two very different regions. The part of the continent to the “east” of the mountains is a high plateau covered by an ice sheet nearly two miles thick. “West” of the mountain, the half of the continent south of the Americas is also covered by an ice sheet, but there the ice rests on rock that is mostly well below sea level. If the West Antarctic Ice Sheet disappeared, the western part of the continent would be reduced to a sparse cluster of island.While ice and snow are obviously central to many environmental experiments, others focus on the mysterious“dry valley”of Antarctica, valleys that contain little ice or snow even in the depths of winter. Slashed through the mountains of southern Victoria land, these valleys once held enormous glaciers that descend 9,000 feet from the polar plateau to the Ross Sea.Now the glaciers are gone, perhaps a casualty of the global warming trend during the 10,000 years since the ice age. Even the snow that falls in the dry valleys is blasted out by vicious winds that roar down from the polar plateau to the sea. Left bare are spectacular gorges, rippled fields of sand dunes, clusters of boulders(大圆石)sculptured into fantastic shapes by 100 mile an hour winds, and an aura of extraterrestrial desolation.Despite the unearthly aspect of the dry valleys, some scientists believe that they may carry a message of hope for the verdant(草木繁茂的)parts of the earth. Some scientists believe that in some cases the dry valleys may soak up pollutantsfaster than pollutants enter them.21.Antarctica is scientifically important in that ____.A) it is a space stationB) it is an ideal place for the investigation of glaciologyC) there is the mysterious dry valleyD) it can help people detect global environmental changes22.The reason for the disappearance of glaciers in the dry valley is ____.A) that they’ve desended to the Ross seaB) that they’ve been blasted out by vicious windsC) the global warming trend ever since the ice ageD) that they’ve been changed into gorges,sand dunes and boulders23.When the author calls Antarctica “distant early warning sensor”, he actually means that ____.A) such equipment has been set up for scientific purposeB) the research groups there are like such kind of sensorsC) potential global changes can be seen on Antarctica firstD) Antarctica is remote from other parts of the earth24.Which of the following statements is true according to the article?A) There is a cluster of island west of the Transantartic Mountain.B) Scientific research on Antarctica only centers on the ice and snow there.C) Dry valleys may be a place to dispose of our pollutants.D) All the countries on earth should be concerned about the health of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.25.The word “spotted”(2nd paragraph)can best be replaced by____.A) placedB) noticedC) fixedD) judgedPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The Carnegie Foundation repo rt says that many colleges have tried to be “all things to all people”. In doing so, they have increasingly catered to a narrow minded careerism while failing to cultivate a global vision among their students.The current crisis, it contends, does not derive from a legitimate desire to put learning to productive ends. The problem is that in too many academic fields, the work has no context; skills, rather than being means, have become ends.Students are offered a variety of options and allowed to pick their way to a degree. In short, driven by careerism, “the nation’s colleges and universities are more successful in providing credentials(文凭)than in providing a quality education for their students.” The report c oncludes that the special challenge confronting the undergraduate college is one of shaping an “integrated core” of common learning. Such a core would introduce students “to essential knowledge, to connections across the disciplines, and in the end, to application of knowledge to life beyond the campus.”Although the key to a good college is a high quality faculty, the Carnegie study found that most colleges do very little to encourage good teaching. In fact, they do much to undermine it. As one professor observed:“Teaching is important, we are told, and yet faculty know that research and publication matter most.” Not surprisingly, over the last twenty years colleges and universities have failed to graduate half of their four year degree candidates. Faculty members who dedicate themselves to teaching soon discover that they will not be granted tenure(终身任期), promotion, or substantial salary increases. Yet 70 percent of all faculty say their interests lie more in teaching than in research. Additionally, a frequent complaint among young scholars is that “The re is pressure to publish, although there is virtually no interest among administrators or colleagues in the content of the publications.”26.When a college tries to be “all things to all people”(lines 2, Para. Ⅰ), it aims to ____.A) satisfy the needs of all kinds of students simultaneouslyB) focus on training students in various skillsC) encourage all sorts of people to attend collegeD) make learning serve academic rather than productive ends27.The word “core”(lines 15, 1st paragraph) might mean____.A) aimB) unitC) centerD) course28.One of the reasons for the current crisis in American colleges and universities is that ____.A) a narrow vocationalism has come to dominate many collegesB) students don’t have enough freedom in choosing what they want to learnC) skills are being taught as a means to an endD) students are not interested in learning29.American colleges and universities failed to graduate half of their fouryear degree candidates because ____.A) most of them lack high quality faculitesB) students are becoming more and more lazyC) there are not enough incentives for students to study hardD) they attach greater importance to research and publication than to teaching30.It can be inferred from the passage that high quality college education calls for ____.A) high quality facultiesB) a commitment to students and effective teachingC) the cultivation of students’ interest in learningD) dedication to research in frontier areas of knowledgePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The U.S. birthrate began to decline in the middle 1950’s, resulting in a smaller college age population starting in the middle 1970’s.S4 Something else happened in the 1970’s: the price of oil increased tremendously, driving up the price of almost everything and making Americans aware that their large automobiles used a lot of gasoline. At the same time, foreign car manufacturers had begun to produce small fuel efficient cars in large quantities for the export market. Suddenly, the large, gas guzzling American cars were no longer attractive to American buyers, who began buying foreign cars by the thousands. The American automobile industry went into a recession. Thousands of automotive workers were laid off, as were thousands of people in industries indirectly connected with the auto industry. People who are laid off tend to keep what money they have for necessities, like food and housing. They do not have the extra money needed to send their children to college. Their children cannot pay their own college costs, because during a recession they cannot find jobs. High unemployment means that more state funds must be used for social service—unemployment benefits and to aid dependent children, for example—than during more prosperous times. It also means, that the states have fewer funds than usual, because people are paying fewer taxes. Institutions of higher education depend on two major sources of income to keep them functioning: tuition from students and funds from the states. At the present time, there are fewer students than in the past and fewer state funds available for higher education. The colleges and universities are in trouble.31.What is the main idea of this passage?A) The rising of oil price drove up the price of everything.B) There were many reasons why higher education was in trouble in the 1970’s.C) Birthrate began to decline in the USA in 1950’s.D) High unemployment caused a lot of social problems.32.The phrase “laid off” can best be replaced by which of the following?A) Poor .B) Got rid of.C) Removed.D) Unemployed.33.American cars were not popular in their domestic markets because they were____.A) smallB) gas consumingC) fuel efficientD) not attractive34.The colleges and universities were in trouble because of the following reasons except that ____.A) they couldn’t get enough income to keep them runningB) young people couldn’t afford the tuition feesC) keeping them running at the same level would cost much moreD) social services need more state funds because of the recession35.All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ____.A) young people couldn’t afford their own tuition in the 1970’sB) it’s difficult for graduates from colleges to find a job in the 1970’sC) fewer parents could afford to send their children to college because ofthe recession in 1970’sD) Birthrate dropped in the 1970’s because of the recessionPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything that goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to findout how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that grounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken. Finally the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.The first full scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away.Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.36.The main purpose of the passage is ____.A) to show us a future way of recycling wastesB) to tell the importance of recycling wastesC) to warn people the danger of some wastesD) to introduce a new recycling plant37.How many stages are there in the recycling process?A) 3.B) 4.C) 5.D) 6.38.What is the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?A) To deal with wastes in a better way.B) It’s a good way to gain profits.C) It’s more economical than to dump wastes in some distant places.D) Energy can be got at a lower price.39.The first full—scale huge recycling plants ____.A) have been in existence for 15 yearsB) takes 15 years to buildC) can’t be built until 15 years laterD) will remain functioning for 15 years40.Which of the following statements is true?A) The word “rubbish” will soon disappear from dictionaries.B) Dangerous wastes can be recycled into nothing but energy.C) To recycle paper and rubber will still be impossible even with the new recycling methods.D) Big cities will soon have their own recycling plants.PartⅢVocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

P. Richard Weinerman, profe ssor of medicine and public health. Dr. Weinerman’s sharp indictment of the automobile came in a discussion of human environment on Yale Reports, a radio program broadcast by Station WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut. The program opened a three part series on “Staying Alive”.“For the first time in human history, the problem of man’s survival has to do with his control of man made hazards,” Dr. Weinerman said.“Before this, the problem had been the control of natural hazards.”Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.11.What is the main idea of the passage?12.Why could automobiles cause heart disease?13.For the 1st time,what does the problem of man’s survival have to do with?Passage TwoA small dog brought disaster to a small English town last week.

You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year.A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington, concluded from other men’s work and his own among people in different climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall is the next best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking.Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.18.What is the passage mainly about?19.What is the best season for thinking?20.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?答案与详解Part Ⅰ Listening ComprehensionSection A1. 【答案】C【试题分析】推理判断题。
