You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identifiedby a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once．A team of researchers led by Priyanka Joshi examined the degree to which men and women relied on “communicative abstraction” to verbally convey their ideas and emotions. Communicative abstraction, according to the researchers, reflects the tendency of people to use “abstract speech that focuses on the broader pi cture and 26 purpose of action rather than concrete speech focusing on details and the means of 27 action.” Interestingly, they found that men were far more likely to speak in the abstract than were women.To arrive at this 28 , the researchers examined the linguistic (语言的) patterns of men and women in over 600,000 blog posts written on websites. To do this, the researchers computed abstractness ratings for 29 40,000 commonly used words in the English language. Words conside red to be concrete could be easily visualized, such as “table” or “chair”. Words that were more 30 to visualize, for example, “justice” or “morality” were considered to be more abstract. They found that men used 31 more abstract language in their blog posts.What is the 32 of this effect? The researchers suggest that power differences between the genders— that is, men having more power in society—might be a key determinant (决定因素). For instance, in a follow-up study conducted with a sample of 300 students, the researchers 33 power dynamics in an interpersonal setting to see if this would influence communicative abstraction. They found that participants in a high-power interviewer role were more likely to give abstract descriptions of behaviors than were participants in a low-power interviewee role. This suggests that communicating more abstractly does not reflect a 34 tendency of men or women but rather 35 within specific contexts.Section BDirections:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.How to better work towards long-term goalsA)Hal Hershfield, a psychologist at the UCLA Anderson School of Management, wanted toknow why people weren’t saving for retirement. Across the board, people are living longer.Logically, they’ll need more money to live comfortably in their post-work years. And yet, savings rates in the U.S. have gone down in recent decades, not up.B)To help explain this seemingly irrational behavior, Hershfield and his team scanned thebrains of study participants while asking them to what degree various traits (特征)—like “honorable”or “funny”—applied to their current self, their future self, a current other, or a future other. As participants answered, Hershfield’s team recorded which parts of their brains lit up. Unsurprisingly, people’s brains were most active when thinking about their current selves and least active when thinking about a current other. But the team found that participants’ brain activity while considering their future selves more closely resembled their brain activity while thinking about a current other rather than the current self.C)Put in practical terms, when thinking of yourself in a month or a year or a decade, yourbrain registers that person in ways similar to how it would register Taylor Swift or the mailman. Understood in that way, saving for retirement is the equivalent of giving money away to someone else entirely.D)In light of Hershfield’s study, one simple question arises: Is it possible to make our presentselves give a damn about our future selves? The answers are anything but simple.E)Seen through the lens of the present self versus the future self, our self-defeating actions—like choosing to watch television rather than go to the gym—suddenly make perfect sense.We get to enjoy the very concrete, immediate benefits of our actions while someone else (namely, our future selves) suffers the hypothetical(假设的), far-off consequences. As a result, the decisions we make for our present selves often look very different from our decisions for our future selves. We believe that tomorrow will be different. We believe that we will be different tomorrow; but in doing so, we prioritize our current mood over the consequences of our inaction for the future self.F)Understanding our procrastination (拖延) through the lens of the present and future selves,we’re left with three possible solutions: The first is to force your future self to do whatever your present self doesn’t want to do. The second is to convince your present self that your future self is, in fact, still you. If the central problem is that we think of our future selves as other people, it follows that trying to identify more closely with our future selves will encourage us to make better long-term decisions.G)In a follow-up study, Hershfield wanted to explore ways to bridge the disconnect betweenthe present and future selves and encourage people to save more for retirement. He and his team took photos of study participants, and then used image processing to visually age their faces. Participants were then placed in a virtual reality setting where they could look into a mirror and see their aged selves looking back at them. Participants who saw their aged selves said they would save 30% more of their salary for retirement than the control group.H)Whatever your long-term goals may be—getting in better shape, launching your ownbusiness, writing a book—thinking about your deadline in terms of days rather than months or years can help you wrap your mind around how close the future really is.I)The third solution is to forget about your future self and use your present self’s love ofinstant gratification (满足感) to your advantage. While the two tactics (手段) above can be effective in making better long-term choices, in the end, you’re still struggling againsthuman nature. Our brains are hard-wired for instant gratification. Instead of fighting your present self’s need for immediate rewards, why not use it to your advantage? When most of us set goals, we focus on long-term results we want to see—e.g., losing weight, gettinga promotion, retiring in comfort, etc. While those visions of our future selves can beinspiring, when it comes to actually doing the day-to-day work, it may be more effective to reframe activities in terms of their immediate, or at least very near-term, rewards.J)Take writing this article, for instance. It’s easy for me to imagine how amazing it will feel at the end of the workday to have this article done. This isn’t just my opinion. Research partners Kaitlin Woolley of Cornell University and Ayelet Fishbach of the University of Chicago have made a career out of studying the differences between the goals that people achieve and the ones that fall to the wayside.K)“In one study, we asked people online about the goals they set at the beginning of the year.Most people set goals to achieve delayed, long-term benefits, such as career advancement, debt repayment, or improved health. We asked these individuals how enjoyable it was to pursue their goal, as well as how important their goal was. We also asked whether they were still working on their goals two months after setting them. We found that enjoyment predicted people’s goal persistence two months after setting the goal far more than how important they rated their goal to be,” Woolley said.L)This pattern held true across a wide variety of goals from exercising to studying to eating healthier foods. For example, people ate 50% more of a healthy food when directed to focus on the good taste rather than the long-term health benefits. Other studies have shown a greater uptake of exercise in people who were told to think of the enjoyment of doing the exercise now rather than future health gains.M)These findings suggest that when it comes to achieving your goals, enjoying the process itself is more important than wanting the long-term benefits. In other words, present self trumps (战胜) future self. Who says instant gratification has to be a bad thing? By all means, set ambitious long-term goals for your future self, but when it comes to actually following through day-to-day, make sure your present self knows what’s in it for her too.36. Our brains are genetically determined to satisfy immediate desires.37. Taken in a practical way, saving for post-work years is like giving money away to others.38. Research found that, as regards achievement of one’s goals, it is important to focus more on enjoying the process than the long-term benefits.39. Regarding our future selves as still being ourselves will help us make better long-term decisions.40. Savings rates in America have dropped in recent decades even though people’s life expectancy has increased.41. Researchers found that enjoyment rather than importance enabled people to persist in their goals.42. When making decisions, we give priority to our current frame of mind without thinking much of the consequences.43. People ate more of a healthy food when they focused on its good taste instead of its long-term benefits.44. As was expected, when people thought of their present selves, their brains were observed to become more active.45. Researchers found that participants who saw the images of their aged selves would save more for their later years than those who didn’t.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. 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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.People often wonder why some entrepreneurs have greater success than others. Is it habits, connections, luck, work ethic or any other behavior? I believe the key to success is willpower. Willpower is the ability to control yourself. It is a strong determination that allows you to do something difficult. It is a behavior we are born with more than one we learn; however, it is possible to not only learn it, but also strengthen it with constant exercise.Willpower is just like a muscle; to keep it strong you need to constantly exercise it. People with a great amount of willpower have the discipline to develop positive, successful habits. Even with an incredible amount of talent, without the discipline and motivation to create positive habits, it can be difficult to achieve success.Willpower and habits go hand in hand. It is critical to create good habits and take the actions necessary to stick to those habits day in and day out for greater success. Almost half of our daily actions are part of our habits and not decisions, so once the correct habits are in place, you will automatically perform those tasks on a day-today basis.The best way to create and stick to a habit is to have strong motivation. It’s easier to change your habits to lose weight if you have a health issue and you want to be around longer for your kids, or if your business is somethin g you’re passionate about. Having a valuable outcome associated with a habit will help you stick to that habit permanently.The art of self-control is one that most successful individuals have mastered. Self-control enables you to avoid behaviors that don’t contribute to your success and adopt those that do.Because there is a delayed satisfaction associated with self-control, it can be easy to get off track. However, if you work on sticking to those small positive habits one day at a time, it becomes easier to stay strong and achieve that delayed reward. Once a reward is achieved, it is much easier to continue sticking to your habits.46. What does the author say we need to do to strengthen our willpower?A) Keep it under control. C) Learn from entrepreneurs.B) Apply it continuously. D) Aim at success determinedly.47. How are almost half of our daily actions performed according to the passage?A) Out of habit. C) Like muscle building.B) With determination. D) By self-discipline.48. What will help people stick to doing something constructive automatically?A) Practising it on a day-to-day basis. C) Possessing a reasonable amount of talent.B) Associating it with improving health. D) Foreseeing the desired outcome it will yield.49. How does the art of self-control help us succeed?A) By allowing us to remain clear-headed permanently.B) By enabling us to alter our behaviors constantly.C) By enabling us to take positive actions.D) By allowing us to avoid taking risks.50. Why can it be difficult for us to maintain self-control?A) Most of us are not in the habit of exercising self-control.B) We may not get immediate rewards from self-control.C) Self-control tends to be associated with pains.D) Self-control only brings about small benefits.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Today, most scientific research is funded by government grants, companies doing research and development, and non-profit foundations. As a society, we reap the rewards from this science, but we also help pay for it. You indirectly support science through taxes you pay, products and services you purchase, and donations you make.Funding for science has changed with the times. Historically, science has been largely supported through private patronage(资助), church sponsorship, or simply paying for the research yourself. Today, researchers are likely to be funded by a mix of grants from various government agencies, institutions, and foundations. Other research is funded by private companies. Such corporate sponsorship is widespread in some fields. Almost 75% of U.S. clinical trials in medicine are paid for by private companies. And, of course, some researchers today still fund small-scale studies out of their own pockets. Most of us can’t afford to do nuclear research as a private hobby, but birdwatchers, rock collectors, and others can do real research on a limited budget.In a perfect world, money wouldn’t matter—all scientific studies would be completely objective. But in the real world, funding may introduce biases. Drug research sponsored by the pharmaceutical (制药的) industry is more likely to end up favoring the drug under consideration than studies sponsored by government grants or charitable organizations. Similarly, nutrition research sponsored by the food industry is more likely to end up favoring the food under consideration than independently funded research.So what should we make of all this? Should we ignore any research funded by companies or special interest groups? Certainly not. These groups provide invaluable funding for scientific research. Furthermore, science has many safeguards in place to catch instances of bias that affect research outcomes. Ultimately, misleading results will be corrected as science proceeds; however, this process takes time. Meanwhile, it pays to examine studies funded by industry or special interest groups with extra care. Are the results consistent with other independently funded studies? What do other scientists have to say about this research? A little examination can go a long way towards identifying bias associated with the funding source.51. What does the passage mainly discuss regarding scientific research?A) Its foundation.B) Its rewards.C) Its prospect.D) Its funding.52. What do we learn from the passage about researchers like birdwatchers and rock collectors?A) They have little access to government funding.B) They can do research with limited resources.C) They can do amateur work in their own fields.D) They have no means for large-scale research.53. What would scientific studies look like in a perfect world according to the author?A) They would be totally unbiased.B) They would be independently funded.C) They would be responsibly conducted.D) They would be strictly supervised.54. What does the author say about companies and special interest groups?A) They try hard to pull down the safeguards for research.B) They make extra efforts to research their own products.C) They provide valuable resources for scientific research.D) They reap the most benefits from scientific research.55. What does the author think of research funded by industry or special interest groups?A) Its recommendations should be examined for feasibility.B) Its misleading results should be corrected in time.C) Its validity should be checked with additional care.D) Its hidden biases should be identified independently.Part ⅣTranslation (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.农历（the lunar calendar）起源于数千年前的中国，根据太阳和月亮的运行规律制定。

This not only helps to provide healthy food for urban residents but also reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation and storage of vegetables. In addition, urban farming also promotes a sense of community and encourages people to reconnect with nature even in the midst of concrete jungles.四、写作Part I: Writing an EssayTopic: The Impact of Social Media on Interpersonal CommunicationSocial media has become an integral part of our lives, changing the way we communicate and interact with others. While social media platforms provide numerous benefits, they also have a significant impact on interpersonal communication.One major impact of social media on interpersonal communication is the ease and convenience of staying connected. Social media allows individuals to communicate with friends and family from anywhere, at any time. Whether through messages, video calls, or status updates, social media enables instant communication and the sharing of information. This has greatly improved the ability to stay in touch with loved ones, especially for those who are physically apart.Additionally, social media has expanded our social circles and facilitated the formation of new relationships. Through online communities and interest groups, individuals can connect with likeminded people from around the world. This has opened up opportunities for meaningful interactions and the exchange of ideas. People can now build friendships and professional connections beyond geographical boundaries.However, social media has also posed challenges to interpersonal communication. One particular challenge is the loss of nonverbal cues. Much of communication is nonverbal, including body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice. These nonverbal cues provide vital context and emotional depth to conversations. In online communication, these cues are often absent or misunderstood, leading to misinterpretation and misunderstandings.Moreover, social media has the potential to create a sense of isolation and superficiality in relationships. With the focus on curated online personas and the pressure to present a filtered version of oneself, genuine connections can be overshadowed. The constant comparison and fear of missing out can also lead to feelings of inadequacy and social anxiety. Facetoface interactions, on the other hand, allow for a deeper level of understanding and connection.In conclusion, social media has revolutionized interpersonal communication, providing new avenues for connection and information exchange. However, it is important to recognizethe challenges it presents, such as the loss of nonverbal cues and the potential for superficial relationships. Striking a balance between online and offline interactions is crucial for mntning meaningful connections in the digital age.Part II: Writing a LetterDear Professor Thompson,I am writing to express my appreciation for your passionate and engaging teaching style throughout the semester.

Numbers of male nurses increased between 2011 and 2014, and reached a peak of 7,168. This figure has dropped to only 6,924 in 2017. The UK Health Secretary said, “This is clearly a cultural problem, and probably one that exists in many parts of the world. But we can make efforts to change that now. We want to persuade males to think about career options of going into nursing. There is absolutely no reason why men can’t go into this profession.”The Health Secretary said that the government already has plans to attract a more varied workforce into nursing. She stated, “We are leading the way on workforce planning. We will become the first nation in Europe to publish a national health and care workforce plan.”Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.1. What problem is Britain facing?2.

2023年12月大学英语四级真题和答案解析第二套
2023年12月大学英语四级真题和答案解析第二套第一部分：阅读理解Passage 1题目：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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Throughout history societies have struggled with a basic problem: how to ensure that enough people work when the forces against working are so strong. There are two kinds of forces against working—an individual’s desire to enjoy leisure, and the population’s ability to enjoy the fruits of other people’s labor because of the human ability to produce far more than we need to survive. Therefore, work has not always been necessary for survival.Until about 10,000 years ago most living was done by hunting and gathering. Individuals spent, on average, only about 20 hours a week collecting food. Hunting and gathering societies enjoyed an abundance of leisure time. But thesesocieties also had very limited resources to support population growth. Over time, the combination of population growth and low individual productivity created a powerful need for more efficient forms of labor. In the last 500 years this need was met by the Industrial Revolution. Society began investing more heavily in science, technology, and especially machinery, which increased productivity and made work more valuable.Question 1:1.According to the passage, why do societies needpeople to work?A)To ensure survival.B)To increase population growth.C)To invest in machinery.D)To enjoy the fruits of other people’s labor.Question 2:2.Why did hunting and gathering societies haveleisure time?A)They worked very efficiently.B)They could survive without working all the time.C)They had plenty of resources to support populationgrowth.D)They had plenty of leisure facilities.Question 3:3.What does the passage imply about the Industrial Revolution?A)It satisfied the society’s desire for leisure time.B)It provided efficient methods for hunting and gathering.C)It helped the society invest more in science and technology.D)It increased the resources to support population growth.Question 4:4.What can we infer from the passage about the history of human labor?A)It started 10,000 years ago with the Industrial Revolution.B)It emerged as a need when resources were limited.C)It has always been necessary for survival.D)It brought about a scarcity of resources. Question 5:5.What was a significant effect of the IndustrialRevolution?A)Increased individual productivity.B)Reduced the desire for leisure time.C)Decreased the population growth.D)Limited the resources for hunting and gathering.Passage 2题目：Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Passage TwoThe middle class is the cornerstone of a strong, stable society. The absence of a substantial middle class is a recipe for social and economic instability.Middle class families do not depend on government assistance to enjoy a decent life, and they do not rely on welfare programs. Members of the middle class are independent and self-sufficient. They contribute to the economy by working hard and owning businesses, and they also pay taxes that fund the government.Unfortunately, the middle class is shrinking in many countries around the world. This is a serious problem for society because it leads to an unfair distribution of wealth. Insocieties with a small middle class and a large lower class, the rich become richer while the poor become poorer. This creates a sense of unfairness and a lack of social cohesion.In order to strengthen the middle class, governments must implement policies that promote job creation and education. By creating more job opportunities, governments can help lift people out of poverty and into the middle class. Additionally, investing in education can also contribute to the growth of the middle class as it provides individuals with the skills they need to thrive in the economy.Question 6:6.What does the passage say about the middle class?A)It depends on government assistance.B)It leads to social and economic instability.C)It relies on welfare programs for survival.D)It is self-sufficient and independent.Question 7:7.Why is the shrinking middle class a problem forsociety?A)It leads to an unfair distribution of wealth.B)It creates a stable and strong society.C)It eliminates social cohesion.D)It benefits the rich while harming the poor. Question 8:8.What is one solution proposed in the passage to strengthen the middle class?A)Investing in education.B)Reducing taxes for the rich.C)Implementing welfare programs.D)Decreasing job opportunities.Question 9:9.How can job creation help strengthen the middle class?A)It provides individuals with necessary skills.B)It increases the number of wealthy individuals.C)It reduces the burden on welfare programs.D)It contributes to social cohesion.Question 10:10.What benefit does investing in education bring to the middle class?A)It promotes job creation.B)It leads to an unfair distribution of wealth.C)It helps individuals become self-sufficient.D)It eliminates the lower class in society.第二部分：听力理解Section A题目：A) A magazine article.B) A news report.C) A radio drama.D) A TV program.A)How to solve a technical problem.B)How to look for a job.C)How to buy a car.D)How to prepare for an interview.A)The man should apply for the position.B)The man has no chance of getting the job.C)The woman is not qualified for the job.D)The woman wants the man to work with her.A)Accountant.

2023年12月全国大学英语CET四级真题和答案解析(第二套)
2023年12月全国大学英语CET四级真题和答案解析（第二套）一、阅读理解阅读理解一题目Welcome to the World of Virtual Reality!文章Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that simulates a user’s physical presence in a virtual environment. By wearing a VR headset, users are immersed in a three-dimensional computer-generated world, which can be a realistic representation of an existing location or an imaginary world. Virtual reality has gained popularity in recent years, with various applications in entertainment, education, and healthcare.One of the main uses of virtual reality is in the field of entertainment. VR gaming allows users to experience gameplay in a fully immersive and interactive manner. Withthe help of motion tracking sensors, users can move aroundand interact with virtual objects as if they were in the game themselves. This adds a new level of excitement and realism to gaming, making it a favorite among many enthusiasts.In addition to entertainment, virtual reality has also found applications in the field of education. Virtual realitysimulations can provide students with a more engaging and interactive learning experience. For example, instead of reading about ancient civilizations in a textbook, students can explore virtual ancient ruins and interact with virtual characters from that time period. This hands-on approach to learning helps students retain information better and makes learning more enjoyable.Virtual reality is also being used in healthcare to assist in the treatment of certain medical conditions. For example, VR therapy has been found to be beneficial in the treatment of anxiety disorders and phobias.

As a typical application, the use of PPT in class is becoming increasingly popular.As we know, every coin has two sides. On one hand, the use of PPT in class expands knowledge and makes teaching easy, wonderful and vivid. In place of complex explanation output by teachers, show of text, sound, image and video in PPT stimulates students’ interests and help them understand intuitively especially in face of abstract concepts. Lesson study becomes more effective and interesting for students.On the other hand, relying too much on PPT weakens teachers’ ability. Many teachers read PPT directly lacking communications with students. Besides, some design of PPT is overwhelming which distracts students’ attention.As far as I am concerned, PPT is just a kind of teaching assistant. Teachers is expected to use it appropriately rather than pursuit its effects excessively.【选词填空第2套】26.I normal27.E definitely28.D considerable29.J possibly30.B argued31.K proposition32.N tend33.C avoid34.F extreme35.G inaction【信息匹配第2套】Why are Asian Americans Missing from out textbook?36.

2010年6月英语四级考试真题答案Part I Writing (15%)Nowadays fewer and fewer students pay attention to their word-spelling. According to a recent survey, there is a dramatic increase in the number of students who can only imitate the pronunciation of a word but be incapable of spelling it. In this essay I will discuss the factors of this phenomenon and offer my own view on it.There are a number of factors can be accountable for this situation. One of the most common factors is that fewer and fewer students need to write English essays. Besides, the goal of most students to learn English is to speak it and pass the examination which means they just need to select the similar words according to the listening materials and passages. Perhaps the most contributing factor is the wide use of electronic devices such as e-dictionaries and computers and students no longer need to correct the words by themselves.As far as I’m concerned, I firmly argue that we need to attach great importance toword-spelling. To the students, they should write English as much as they can. Meanwhile, to the teachers, the dictations should be reinforced in the class.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and scanning) (10%)1. A) her daughters' repeated complains2.
