Mice, deer, birds, snakes and frogs are among their victims. They can also harm other wild species through indirect competition, rather than eating them or shrinking their food supply. On one particular United States island,wild pigs themselves became an attractive food source for a species of mainland eagle. [18]The eagles began breeding on the island and also feeding on a species of native fox. The foxes were almost wiped out completely.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage youhave just heard.16. What do we learn about early pigs in North America?17. Why are wild pigs a threat to humans?18. What does the passage say about the native foxes on a US island?Passage Two【听力原文】[19]A pair of entrepreneurs are planning to build and launch a spacecraft that would carry and roast coffee beans in outer space. The craft will use the heat of re-entry to roast coffee beans as they float inside it in a pressurised tank. The effect would be to roast the beans all over and produce perfect coffee. [20]The businessmen say that on earth, beans can easily break apart and get burned in the roaster. But if gravity is removed, the beans float around in a heated oven, received 360 degrees of evenly distributed heat androast to near perfection. The spacecraft will reach a height of around 200 kilometers. The beans would then be roasted in the heat generated by the craft’s 20-minute re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere. Temperatures in the pressurised tank will be kept to around 200°C. Once back on earth, the planet’s first space roasted beans would be used to make coffee that would be sold for the first time in Dubai. This is where the pair’s company is based. It is not clear how much they would charge for a cup. Surprisingly, the Space Roaster concept, should it go ahead, will not be the first attempt to take coffee into space. [21]In 2015, two Italian companies collaborated on the construction of a similar type of spacecraft, which was the first coffee machine designed for use in space.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What are a pair of entrepreneurs planning to do?20. What does the passage say about coffee beans roasted on earth?21. What did the two Italian companies do in 2015? Passage Three【听力原文】In cold and snowy Alaska, there’s a village called Takotna. It has a population of a mere 49 souls.[22]Each March, this tiny village swells up in numbers, because it is located in the middle of a race that takes place every year. It is a seven-day race called the Iditarod Trail. And participants stop at Takotna for their obligatory 24-hour rest. [23]Lucky for them, Takotna is famous for its delicious fruit pies. Weeks before the competitors arrive, the residents of Takotna start preparing for what is without question their biggest event of the year. [24]The whole village chips in to help, including the kids, who end up developing their baking skills at an early age. Exhausted and hungry racers aregreeted with delightful pies of all kinds such as apple, orange, lemon or banana. They consume the pies as stomach-warming race fuel. The toughness of the race allows for racers to eat pretty much whatever they want, the more calories, the better. [25]Takotna has gained a reputation for its dessert-based hospitality since the 1970s. It started with one person, Jan Newton. Jan moved from Idaho with her husband in 1972 and opened a restaurant. Her rich and filling fruit pies quickly got the racer’s attention, and the village gained some fame as a result. Proud residents then started to refer to Jan as “Queen of Takotna”.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. Why do a lot of people come to the village of Takotna every March?23. What is the village of Takotna famous for?24. Who comes to help with the event of the year?25. What does the passage say about Jan Newton?。

2021年英语专业四级真题听力答案听力原文参考The internetThe internet is the most significant progress in the field of communications. Imagine a book that never ends, a library with a million floors, or imagine a research project with thousands of scientists workingaround the clock forever. This is the magic of the internet.Yet the internet has the potential for good and bad. One can find well-organized information-rich websites. At the same time, one can also find wasteful websites. Mostwebsites are known as different internet applications. These include online games, chat rooms and so on. These applications have great power, too. Sometimes, the power can be so great that young people may easily become victimsto their attraction. So we need to recognize the seriousness of the problem. We must work together to use its power for better ends.PART ⅢCLOZE31.B widely 32.C stepping off 33.A If 34.C avoid 35.B keeping36.D Alternatively 37.A make 38.C mark 39.B superstition 40.D misfortune41.B household 42.D unfortunate 43.A falls 44.C indoors 45.B as46.A have originated 47.C associated with 48.A especially 49.B for 50.D broken downPART ⅣGRAMMAR and VOCABULARY51. _D_dull he may be, he is certainly A.very successful top executive.A.AlthoughB.whateverC.AsD.However52.

At the end of each passage, you will hear three or four questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the center.Passage 1(16)A new study carried out by the University of Lincoln has found a link between the personalities of cat owners and the behaviour and wellbeing of their cats. The findings suggest that, just as a parent’s personality can affect the personality of a child, the same is true for a cat and its owner.Owners—defined as individuals with high levels of anxiety, fear, anger, depression and loneliness—were more likely to have cats with behavioural issues.Such cats displayed more aggressive and anxious behavioural styles as well as more stress-related sickness. They were also more likely to have an ongoing medical condition and be overweight.The research also found that mentally well-adjusted owners had calmer, happier and healthier cats.The researchers explained that “Many owners regard their pets as a family member, and form close social bonds with them.”(17)The majority of owners want to provide the best care for their pets and it’s therefore possible that pets could be affected by the way theirowners interact with and manage them. (18)The study highlights an important relationship between our personalities and the wellbeing of our pets. Further research is needed to investigate the causal nature of this relationship and to look at how owners’personalities are directly influencing their pets’ behaviour and wellbeing.It is possible that the wellbeing of pets is driven by the underlying nature of the owner, not simply by their conscious decisions and behaviours.Q16: What do we learn from the new study by the University of Lincoln?A) Owners' personalities a fleet their cats' behaviour and wellbeing.B) Parents' personalities can affect the personalities of their children.C) Parents and cat owners alike experience high levels of anxiety.D) More and more people are treating pet cats like their children.Q17: What does the passage say most pet owners want to do?A) Give their pets behavioural training.B) Provide their pets with the best care.C) Know their pets' feelings and desires.D) Interact with their pets in novel ways.Q18: What does the passage say is still needed to understand the effects of owners’personalities on their pets?A) More convincing explanation.B) More extensive sampling.C) Collection of more data.D) Further investigation.Passage 2(19-1)”One 60-minute run can add seven hours to your life.” This was a claim made by The Times last week. The claim was based on a new review of studies about the effects of running. (19-2)The review concluded that on average runners live three years longer than non-runners and that running does more to extend life than any other form of exercise. But there’s more to running than its health benefits. (20)Research published in recent years has shown that running changes your brain and mind in some fascinating ways, from increasingyour brain function to regulating your emotions. However, the precise effects vary according to whether you engage in short, fast running or long-distance running.For example, in one study, researchers compared participants’ability to learn new words after several minutes of intense running and after 40 minutes of gentle running. Participants were able to learn 20 percent faster after the intense running and they showed a superior memory when tested again a week later.In another study, researchers asked volunteers to jog for 30 minutes and then showed them clips from a sad movie. Participants who usually struggled to handle negative emotions were more intensely affected by the sad clips, just as you’d expect. (21)But crucially, this was less so if they had completed the 30-minute jog. The researchers said moderate exercise appears to have helped those participants to be less vulnerable to the impact of the sad movie.Q19. What did the new review of studies claim?A) People should do more running than mere walking.B) Running is the best exercise lor extending one's life.C) People should exercise at least 60 minutes every day.D)Running is the easiest form of exercise for most people.Q20. What is one effect that running has on people according to recent resear ch?A) Improving their brain function.B) Regulating their breathing rate.C) Slowing down their ageing process.D) Accelerating their blood circulation.Q21. What did another study find about the participants after they had a 30-minute jog?A) They found it easy to control their emotions.B) They struggled to handle negative emotions.C) They were more eager to enjoy a movie.D) They were less a fleeted by sad movies.Passage 3(22-1)Welcome to the tour of the Hill House. This house built in 1904 is one of the most well-known works of Charles Hill, the famous architect. It was designed and built for a local entrepreneur and his family. (22-2)Before starting the tour, let me give you a brief introduction about the design of this amazing building.(23)Prior to beginning his design, the architect spent some time in the client’s old home, observing their life and studying their habits. This meant that he could design the house according to the needs of the family.(24)The client’s main desire was to have a home with the unique design, so the architect was given complete freedom. The building style is radically different from what was the fashion of the period. At the time, most large homes were constructed of timber and brick. This one, however, is made of concrete, a novel construction material in those days. The interior of the house, including fittings and furniture, was also designed by the same person. Most of the furniture you will see is original and in good condition. However, (25)those pieces in the children’s bedrooms are copies built to the designs of the architect. Fortunately, all the blueprints for both the building and its contents have been preserved, so we’ve been able to replace badly damaged furniture. (22-3)Let’s begin our tour, starting from the rooms.22. What do we learn about the speaker?A) He is a tour guide.B) He is a famous architect.C) He is local entrepreneur.D) He is the owner of the Hill House.23.What did the architect do before beginning his design?A) He studied the blueprints of other famous buildings.B) He inquired about his client's family background.C) He observed his client's life and habits.D) He took a tour of his client's old home.24. What did the architect’s client mainly want?A) A house made of timber and brick.B) A house with a lot of free space.C) A house of the current fashion.D) A house of a unique design.25. What do we learn about the pieces of furniture in the children’s bedrooms?A) They are well preserved and in pretty good shape.B) They are copies built to the architect's designs.C) They were designed by another architect.D) They were badly damaged but restored.答案1-7 BCDADAC8-15 BCDCBBDC16-25 ABDBADACDB。

They were meant to be reunited with the pet in their new home city in Texas.But, when they arrived at the United Airlines cargo facility in the southern US state, they found a stranger’s dog waiting in Buddy’s place.Both of the dogs had been sent to the wrong destinations on connecting flights from Denver, with Buddy mistakenly being sent to Japan instead.Buddy was given a physical check-up when he arrived at Tokyo’s International Airport.

The scientific evidence from countries like Australia, Canada, and the USA clearly indicates a decline in the birds' numbers.M: But can anyone be sure if the decline is really caused by the hunting or by climate change?W: It's caused by both in fact. We see more droughts in countries like Australia. Ducks are birds that feed and breed in areas where there is a lot of water, but their habitats have been shrinking in recent decades because of the droughts.5/ 16M: And I guess with fewer places to inhabit, they concentrate in greater numbers in few areas, which surely makes them easier targets for the hunters.W: It does. My grandfather was a duck hunter. He told me hunting ducks and geese began in the 19th century. They were easily found and plentifully available food source in farming areas, especially for poor immigrants.M: What do they use for hunting during that period?W: They use new types of guns, and birds could easily be shot down in flight, and in such great numbers that commercial hunting of ducks and geese became an industry. Yet, there's no commercial farming of these birds nowadays. Their meat is hardly eaten in western countries.M: No, duck hunting seemingly exists as the continuation of a tradition.W: Well, ducks have never been popular with farmers like my grandfather anyway because they sometimes destroy crops. In fact, farmers used to poison them in large numbers.M: That somehow doesn't surprise me. Nobody places much value on the lives of these poor birds or on their meat.Q8: What does the woman find unbelievable?A) The number of ducks has declined sharply in recent years.6/ 16B) Climate change has little effect on the lives of wild ducks.C) Duck meat is not eaten in Australia, Canada and the U.S.D) Duck hunting remains legal in many parts of the world.Q9: What does the woman say has caused the shrinking of ducks' habitats in Australia?A) Droughts.B) Bushfires.C) Farming.D) Hunting.Q10: Why is there no commercial farming of ducks and geese in western countries?A) They are not easy to domesticate.B) Their meat is not that popular.C) It is not environmentally friendly.D) It is not considered cost-effective.Q11: What does the woman say about farmers in her grandfather's time?A) They hunted ducks as a traditional sport.B) They killed wild ducks and geese for food.C) They raised ducks and geese for their eggs.D) They poisoned wild ducks in large numbers.7/ 16Long Conversation 2M: Okay, Miss Bright. I finished calculating. I estimate you have between 210 and 240 square meters of walls and ceiling.W: So how much would the pain job cost?M: That would depend on the quality of paint you choose. We carry two brands -one cost 60 cents every square meter, and the other 90 cents. The second is guaranteed to look great for about 10 years, whereas the cheaper one will start to dull after around 6 or 7 years.W: In that case, we would prefer the more expensive option.M: All right, then. So including labor costs, taxes, and everything, this job would come to $3,000.W: Emm, to be perfectly honest, that's more than I expected.M: Please bear in mind that the price includes moving all the furniture, and the whole task would take 2 days.W: Really? Why?M: Well, we can't paint the walls without clearing all the furniture first. So every time we paint a room, we first have to move the furniture to another room. So that takes more time. Plus, it requires two people, which works out more expensive.W: I see. But does that mean I could not live here in my own house during those 2 days?8/ 16M: That is correct.W: Oh well, that changes everything I'm afraid. I would have to stay with a friend or check into a hotel. I hadn't considered any of that. I'm starting to realize that painting my house is far more troublesome than I had anticipated.M: This is usually the case. Most of our clients go through the same realization.W: I see.M: You have my number. Please feel free to call me for any further questions.W: Thank you.Q12: What is the woman planning to do?A) Have her house repainted.B) Replace some of her old furniture.C) Move into a newly-painted house.D) Calculate the cost of the paint job.Q13: What is the woman's chief concern?A) How long the work will take.B) How much the work will cost.C) How the paint job is to be done.D) How many workers are needed.9/ 16Q14: What does the woman have to do while the paint job is being done?A) Cover up her furniture.B) Ask some friends for help.C)Stay somewhere else.D) Oversee the work herself.Q15: What has the woman come to realize at the end of the conversation?A) She could have asked a friend for help with the paint job.B) Painting a house involves more trouble than she thought.C) she should have repainted her house much earlier.D) Moving her furniture is harder than the paint job.Section CPassage 1Homework is an important part of schooling, but the purposes of giving children homework will change as they grow older. At the primary level, the main aim is to cultivate good habits, like learning to plan and exercising self discipline. During the secondary school years, extending what is learned at school is positively related to academic achievement. So the content of homework becomes more important.So how can you help your child do their best?10/ 16Creating an ideal working environment will make it easier for them to get down to their assignments quickly. Make sure it's free of distractions. And for primary school children at least somewhere near you. So you can answer questions and offer encouragement.You probably have to help younger children plan their session. But it's important that by the end of primary school, it's second nature get them to tell you everything they have to do, then encourage them to establish an order in which they do work.When there are several different assignments, make sure they begin with one they enjoy. So it seems easy to get started. It's best to take on the most difficult task second. Once they're settled, but before they get tired.If older children have more than an hour of homework, encourage them to schedule a short break to stretch.If you encourage them to tell you what they've learned, they'll absorb the information more deeply and remember it more readily.Q16: What is the main aim of homework for primary school kids?A) To cultivate good habits.B) To prepare for secondary school.C) To review what is learned in class.D) To stimulate interest in learning.11/ 16Q17: What does the passage suggest parents do to help their children?A) Discuss their academic achievements with them.B) Create an ideal study environment for them.C) Allow them to learn independently.D) Check their homework promptly.Q18: What should children do to deal with multiple assignments?A) Finish them before they get tired.B) Tackle the most difficult task first.C) Start with something they enjoy.D) Focus on the most important ones.Passage 2Workers at Mexican Oil Company will receive a health incentive of almost $300 a year if they meet certain body weight standards. To qualify for the bonus, they must maintain a healthy weight. For those who are overweight or obese, they can receive the bonus if they reduce their weight by 10 % during the year.Some applaud the policy as fair, because it rewards both individuals who maintain a healthy weight and those who are working towards achieving it.12/ 16But critics say the policy contradicts recommendations by many health experts who warned that a person's weight is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. That means weight can be hard for individuals to control, which makes the bonus unfair.Some experts say the policy is inconsistent with the science of what we know about body weight regulation. These experts argue that focusing on wage is the wrong approach. A more productive method of encouraging health among employees is to promote healthy behaviors. For example, companies can give workers gym memberships, or encourage participation in lectures on healthy eating and living. They can also reduce sweets and provide healthier snacks in the office and healthier meals at the company canteen. Or they can give employees more time during their lunch break to exercise. These are much better and much more productive ways for companies to move forward on their employees’well being.Q19: Who will qualify for the bonus in Mexican Oil Company?A) Workers who meet its body weight standards.B) Workers who can lose 30 pounds in a year.C) Workers who try the hardest to lose weight.D) Workers who are in the top 10% of the slimmest.13/ 16Q20.:What do critics think of Mexican Oil Company's bonus policy?A) Impractical.B) Inconsistent.C) Unmanageable.D) Unfair.Q21: What do experts propose companies do about workers’well being?A) Offer them much fatter bonuses.B) Improve working environment.C) Encourage healthy behaviors.D) Provide free lunch and snacks.Passage 3Campaigners have warned that the British government is not doing enough to prevent left-handed pupils from falling behind their peers. They claim that thousands of children are still being penalized for being left-handed. This is due to a lack of action from ministers who failed to take any meaningful action for years.It is feared that a failure to address early year challenges such as poor handwriting is too much more serious problems down the line with these pupils facing reduced career prospects.14/ 16Studies in recent years show that left-handed children are more likely to suffer with learning difficulties, and their scores are lower on IQ tests.Campaigners feel it's strange that children and British schools are penalized because they happen to be left-handed. They don't understand why successive governments have failed to act on this. They want the Department of Education to record which children areleft-handed and what their educational attainments are since they make up some 10 % of the population.In early year education, left-handed children are struggling and making a mess of their handwriting. Educators don't know how to deal with this. In many cases, there's no active help and a lack of teacher training. Campaigners point out that a high percentage of the prison population is left-handed. They say that these prison numbers are unusually high and ask why it is the case.Q22: Why are some people criticizing the British government?A) It has not done enough to help left-handed children.B) It has treated left-handed children as being disabled.C) It has not built facilities specially for the left-handed.D) It has ignored campaigns on behalf of the left-handed.15/ 16Q23: What do studies in recent years show about left-handed children?A) They are as intelligent as other children.B) They have a distinctive style of handwriting.C) They sometimes have psychological problems.D) They tend to have more difficulties in learning.Q24: What do the campaigners demand the Department of Education do?A) Punish teachers discriminating against left-handed students.B) Lay more emphasis on improving children’s mental health.C) Encourage students to develop various professional skills.D) Keep track of left-handed children’s school performance.Q25: What do the campaigners want to know about left-handed prisoners?A) How they can be reduced in number.B) Why their numbers are so high.C) What percentage they account for.D) If their percentage keeps increasing.答案1-7 CABCDBC 8-15 DABDABCB 16-25 ABCADCADDB16/ 16。

After all, the British weather wasn’t very good, even in summer, so a lot of people left the country for a vacation.In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier on average. As a result, they started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece. Once they arrived at their destination, they met with other groups of young people and had one long party.British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a hotter climate, so people do not need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, going abroad is more expensive. As a result, more British people are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK. 2012年Eco-tourismNowadays many of us try to live in a way that will damage theenvironment as little as possible.

This is why alternative forms of tourism are becoming popular in the world. There are lots of names for these new forms of tourism: responsible tourism, nature tourism, adventure tourism, educational tourism and more.Although everyone may have a different definition, most people agree that these new forms of tourism should do the following: first, they should conserve the wildlife and culture of the area; second, they should benefit the local people; third, they should make a profit without destroying natural resources; and finally they should provide an experience that tourists want to pay for.2013年What is a dream forOne 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 analyzingthem 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.2014年 Limiting the Growth of TechnologyThroughout history man has changed his physical environment to improve his way of life.With the tools of technology man has altered many physical features of the earth.He has transformed woodland into farmland.He has modified the face of the earth by cutting through mountains to build roads and railways.However,these changes in the physical environment have not always had beneficial results.Today,pollution of the air and water is a danger to the health of the planet.Each day thousands of tons of gases come out of vehicles.Smoke from factories pollutes the air of industrialized areas and the surrounding countryside.The air in cities is becoming increasingly unhealthy.The pollution of water is equally harmful.In the sea pollution from oil is killing a lot of sea plants and fish.It is now necessary for man to limit the growth of technology in order to survive on earth.。
