In some states only one house in five has people living in it who have been there for more than five years. One may be born in one city, and go to school in another. He may finish his middle school education in two or three cities and attend a college far across the country. And when he has entered business, he may possibly move from job to job. Moving from job to job, or job- hopping, is a very common practice in the United States.This practice is not good by and large. Yet every chance to change a job offers the worker an opportunity to move up to a higher position and to get better wages. And job-hopping also gives employers—the bosses, the managers the—chance to benefit from the new ideas and skills that different people bring to their firms or factories. Then, most Americans love traveling. People often drive their automobiles 120 to 160 kilometers just to have dinner with a friend or even fly to Europe and back just for watching a football match. It is because of this—the fact that Americans are in constant motion and, in this way, it is also easy for you to become friends with Americans. And the friendship can be close and strong for a while, but then disappears as soon as the individuals move away from each other. But if these people should meet again, even years later, they would be delighted to continue the friendship. So don‟t be unhappy when you fail to find lifetime friendships or relationships in the United States.“Job-hopping” mea ns _______.A. moving from place to placeB. looking for workC. hoping to get a jobD. moving from job to jobWhy do Americans change their jobs so frequently? Because _______.A. they have the habits of movingB. they want a higher position and better wagesC. job-hopping benefits the bossesD. it gives them a good opportunity of travelingIt is inferred that _______.A. Americans like to make friends but don‟t specially attach importance to itB. it‟s impossible to find lifetime friendships or rela tionships in the United StatesC. Americans ignore friendships and relationships with othersD. Americans make friends just for funPersonally, the author______ job-hopping.A. is againstB. thinks well ofC. wants to stopD. doesn‟t go along withWhat‟s the meaning of “delighted”?______A. happyB. sadC.depressedD. MovingDBABA文章2:John Smith was lazy. He had finished his education and was happy to sit in his room and listen to the radio all day long.

I gave you one week‟s time.”In the next few days Johnny began to change. He still stayed in his room all day, but spent his time writing letters and reading through the newspapers. More and more posts began to arrive for him. He bought a new suit for himself and invited his parents to the theatre and for dinner afterwards at the most expensive restaurant in town. When his proud parents arrived home after their evening hour, a policeman was waiting at the front door.“John Smith,” he said as he banded him a piece of paper, “I‟ll see you in the court tomorrow.”When he got outside, Johnny told his parents everything.“When you told me to earn some money, 1 decided to put an advertisement in the newspaper saying, …New way to money fast! Send me $ 5 and I‟ll tell you my secret.‟ When I received the money I wrote back telling people to do as I do.”Johnny was fined $ 250 by the court and was ordered to pay all the people back.

I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said.

Sick people don’t have to pay to see the doctor, or to stay in hospital, and they only pay part of the cost of their medicines. The bad news is that the NHS is always running out of money. The British government spends even less on health than the American government. And in the USA sick people also have to pay every time they see a doctor. The NHS has been admired and enjoyed by British people since 1946 when it started. The idea then was to look after people “from the cradle to the grave”. Free medicine was part of the “welfare state”, which gave free education to the young, money to the unemployed, and pensions to the old.Slowly, as the years pass, problems have grown up. Governments are finding that the bills are getting bigger and bigger. In 1982, £14,000 million was spent on health. One reason for this is that there are many more old people now than there were in 1946. Forty percent of NHS money goes to looking after the old. Some people say that the NHS is a luxury Britain can not afford. They want to bring back more private medicine, for which people would pay. Free medicine, theysay, should be given only to the poor. Other people, including many doctors, disagree. Everyone, they say, has the right to the same medical help. In a two-part system, the rich would always get the best. This would not be fair. People also disagree about how NHS money should be spent. Should £15,000 be spent on each heart transplant operation, when there are not enough beds for thousands of old people in pain? Should abortions be paid for by the NHS? Should more money be spent on the mentally ill? Shouldn’t doctors and nurses be better paid?The questions go on and on—but so does the NHS. And millions of British people are thankful that it’s there.(10分)(1)In Britain sick people have to pay some money to__________.(2分)see a doctorstay in a hospitalget some medicinehave an operation正确答案C您的答案是未作答回答错误展开(2)In Britain more money is spent on health than before because__________.(2分)more people get illthere are more old peoplemedicines become more expensivedoctors and nurses are better paid正确答案B您的答案是未作答回答错误展开(3)Some people want to have more private medicine in Britain because they__________.(2分)don’t trust the NHSwant better medical treatmentdon’t thin k Britain can afford free medicine for allbelieve that everyone has the right to medical help正确答案C您的答案是未作答回答错误展开(4)What is the biggest problem the NHS is facing?(2分)Shortage of money.Criticisms from the people.Arguments about its function.Pressure from the government.正确答案A您的答案是未作答回答错误展开(5)Which of the following is a controversial issue concerning the NHS?(2分)Whether it’s necessary or not to provide beds for old people in pain.Whether there should be free medical care for the mentally ill.Whether people should ever be cared for from birth to death.Whether money should be spent on more critical cases.正确答案D您的答案是未作答回答错误展开2.It is estimated that some seven hundred million people are unable to read and write, and there are probably two hundred and fifty million more whose level of attainment is so slight that it barely qualifies literacy (读写能力).Recently the attack on illiteracy has been stepped up. A world plan has been drawn up by a committee of UNESCO experts in Paris, as part of the UNESCO Nations Development Decade, and an international conference on the subject has also been held. UNESCO stresses that functional literacy is the aim. People must learn thebasic skills of responsible citizenship: the ability to read notices, newspapers, timetables, letters, price-lists, to keep simple records and accounts, to sort out the significance of the information gathered, and to fill in forms.The major areas of illiteracy are in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. In Africa there are at least one hundred million illiterates, comprising eighty to eighty-five per cent of the total population. In Europe the figure is about twenty-four million, most of them in Southern Europe, with Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Yugoslavia heading the list (the United Kingdom has about seven hundred thousand).

For the price of a five-cent subway ride and seventy-five-cent admission fee, some fifty-seven attendees could sample personally “the wonders of contemporary life.”<br/>Since the middle of the nineteenth century, industrial states had held periodic expositions to showcase the goods produced by their nationals and by others. Although London’s Great Exhibition of 1851 had led the way, it was the French who were to produce such international displays of culture and machinery most frequently during the next half-century. American expositions tied the French example to the celebration of key historical anniversaries. Thebest-remembered example is the Chicago Exposition of 1893, which marked the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus’s arrival—one year late. The New York World’s Fair of 1939 was inspired by the 150th anniversary of the inauguration (就职典礼) of George Washington. <br/>What took place at these showcases of modern architecture, national pride, and international commercial competition? The 1893 Chicago Fair boasted its entertainment “Midway”as well as scientific exhibits, and visitors to the New York Fair in 1939 may well have been more impressed by the simulated (模拟的) 250-foot parachute jump than by the first speech by a president to be shown on television, or the first color film for home movie cameras. <br/>(10分)(1)How much did a ticket to the 1939-40 New York Fair cost?(2分)5 cents.75 cents.57 cents.80 cents.正确答案B您的答案是未作答回答错误展开The word “showcase” in paragraph 2 probably means _______.(2分)displaybe put in a casepurchasebe bought正确答案A您的答案是未作答回答错误展开(3)Which nation organized most of the international exhibitions between 1850 and 1900?(2分)Great Britain.The United States.England.France.正确答案D您的答案是未作答回答错误展开(4)We can conclude from the passage that the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus’s arrival should have been celebrated in _______________.(2分)189218941895正确答案B您的答案是未作答回答错误展开(5)What was one important feature of the 1893 Chicago Exposition?(2分)Entertainment and scientific displays.Historical conference.Athletic competition.Presidential speech.正确答案A您的答案是未作答回答错误展开4.When I was in public high school in Texas in the 1950s, one of the last things a girl wanted was a reputation as a good student. Girls who got good grades were “brains,”and brains were socially handicapped. Most girls strived to cultivate the June Allyson image: a follower, not a leader; cute and not too smart, or at least not so smart that the guys felt threatened.Apparently—despite the women’s movement and the presence of significant numbers of successful women as role models—it is stillconsidered inappropriate in most schools and colleges for girls to seem “smart.”As a female student recently explained, “I make straight A’s, but I never talk about it…It’s cool to do really badly.”In elite(精英)institutions, where students are chosen for their academic ability, girls are more willing to challenge the boys academically than they are in non-selective schools and colleges. But with the demise(消亡)of most single-sex girls’schools and colleges, there are now even fewer institutions where girls can be leaders and achievers without feeling like freaks (怪人). The popular culture—through television, movies, magazines, and video—incessantly drums in the message to young women that it is better to be popular, sexy, and “cool”than to be intelligent, accomplished, and outspoken: Madonna has replaced June Allyson.In 1986 researchers Signithia Fordham and John U. Ogbu found a similar anti-academic ethos among both male and female students at an all-black high school in Washington, D.C. They noted that able students faced strong peer pressure not to succeed in school.

2025年全国大学英语CET四级考试复习试题及解答参考一、写作(15分)题目:Write an essay on the topic of “The Impact of the Internet on Interpersonal Communication”Example Essay:In the digital age, the internet has become an indispensable part of our daily lives. It has transformed the way we communicate with others, both online and offline. While the internet has brought about many benefits, such as facilitating communication and providing access to information, it has also had a profound impact on interpersonal communication.One of the most significant changes brought about by the internet is the rise of online communication. With the advent of social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, people can now connect with each other instantly, regardless of geographical barriers. This has made communication more convenient and accessible, but it has also led to a decline in face-to-face interactions. People may feel more comfortable writing messages or chatting online than having real conversations, which can lead to misunderstandings and a lack of empathy.Another impact of the internet on interpersonal communication is the proliferation of digital communication tools. Email, instant messaging apps, and video conferencing platforms have made it easier to stay in touch with friends and family, but they have also made it possible for people to avoid difficult conversations. Instead of facing their problems directly, people can choose to hide behind a screen and avoid confrontation.Despite these challenges, the internet still offers many opportunities for improving interpersonal communication. Online platforms provide a space for people to express their thoughts and feelings, and they can receive feedback from others. This can help people better understand each other and build stronger relationships. Additionally, online communication can connect people from different cultures and backgrounds, promoting cross-cultural understanding and tolerance.In conclusion, the impact of the internet on interpersonal communication is complex. While it has brought about many benefits, such as making communication more convenient and accessible, it has also led to a decline in face-to-face interactions and a rise in digital communication. To make the most of the internet’s potential, people should strive to maintain a balance between online and offline communication, being mindful of the potential pitfalls of digital communication and making an effort to have meaningful, face-to-face interactions.Analysis:This essay effectively addresses the topic of the impact of the internet on interpersonal communication by presenting both sides of the argument. The writer acknowledges the benefits of the internet, such as making communication more convenient and accessible, but also points out the potential negative effects, such as a decline in face-to-face interactions and a rise in digital communication.The essay is well-structured, with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. Each paragraph focuses on a specific aspect of the topic, and the writer provides examples and evidence to support their points.The writing style is clear and concise, with appropriate use of grammar and vocabulary. The writer also demonstrates an understanding of the topic, showing critical thinking and a thoughtful approach to the subject matter.Overall, this essay is an excellent example of how to approach the topic of the impact of the internet on interpersonal communication. It iswell-organized, clearly articulated, and demonstrates a thoughtful and critical perspective.二、听力理解-短篇新闻(选择题,共7分)第一题The following is a short news article.

We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how manyof us know the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was setup in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down, the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system could keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers had become cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made "surfing" the Internet more convenient.Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mails is more and more popular among students.The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.问题:1. When was the Internet set up?In the 1960s.2. Who first used the Internet?The government.3. How did scientists make "surfing" the Internet more convenient?They developed software.4. What is more and more popular among students?Sending e-mails.5. What does the passage mainly tell us?The history of the Internet.(二)、阅读理解(是非题)共5题阅读下面短文。

For most people back then,however,the workweek was six days 1ong.Automobile maker Henry Ford was the first major employer in the United States to establish a workweek of five days.He did that in 1926. He thought that, if working people had more free time,they would spend more money.And that would be good for the economy.One thing helped the idea spread rapidly.It was the Great Depression in the 1930s.Americans had little money to buy things during the depression,so there was 1ess demand for goods and services.This in turn 1ed to reduced working-hours for those who still had jobs.By the 1940s,it had become common for most Americans to work eight hours a day,five days a week. Work ended Friday evening. It did not begin again until Monday morning.Today the 1ives of most Americans are organized that way.Five days of work or school are followed by two days of rest.For many people,Saturday night is the high point at the weekend because the night does not fo11ow or come before a day of work.So it is the night for going out and having fun.1.Decide whether the following statements are true or false:Some people in the United States dislike Monday. ()A. TrueB. False2. For most people in the 1870s, the workweek was 6 days long. ()A. TrueB. False3. Most Americans take care of their house, car or garden on weekend. ()A. TrueB. False4.

The Great Depression in the 1930s helped the idea of five-day workweek spread rapidly. ()A. TrueB. False8. For most Americans, work ended Friday evening, and started again Monday morning by the 1940s. ()A. TrueB. False150.A Successful StudentJane attended language classes three times a week for a period of three hours each time in Canada. The content of teaching was grammar as well as conversation. Jane said that it was only through classroom teaching that she got an insight into the structure of the language. She thought it was fairly easy to learn some grammar aspects, such as tenses, as she heard them being actually used outside the classroom.She lived with people from several countries. It offered a good environment in which English was the only language they could share. Among them, there was a native speaker who liked to talk to her. Talking with native speakers is the best way to improve one’s listening and speaking. She said, “ I often listen to the radio and watch TV too. It helps me a lot.”Speaking and listening are just two skills. One can learn them much more easily if he keeps on practicing them in a real situation every day.In reply to the question of whether she thought she had a gift for languages, Jane said that she had good ears and also a talent of imitation. Her pronunciation is perfect for a second language learner.When Jane was asked to tell which factor she would consider to be the most influential in her language studies, she emphasized that talking with native speakers of English was of great help.1.Decide whether the following statements are true or false:She thought English grammar such as tenses was difficult to learn.()A.

It is easy to learn speaking and listening if one keeps on practicing them in a real situation every day. ()A. TrueB. False8. Jane’s ears look beautiful.()A. TrueB. False9.
