It has 26from Detroit to Silicon Valley,where self-driving vehicles are coming to life.In a 27 to take production back to Detroit,Michigan lawmakers have introduced 28 that could make their state the best place in the country,if not the world,to develop self-driving vehicles and put them on the road.“Michigan’s 29 in auto research and development is under attack from several states and countries which desire to 30 our leadership in transportation. We can’t let that happen,”says Senator Mike Kowall,the lead 31 of four bills recently introduced.If all four bills pass as written,they would 32 a substantial update of Michigan’s 2013 law that allowed the testing of self-driving vehicles in limited conditions. Manufacturers would have nearly total freedom to test their self-driving technology on public roads. They would be allowed to send groups of self-driving cars on cross-state road trips,and even set up on-demand 33 of self-driving cars,like the one General Motors and Lyft are building.Lawmakers in Michigan clearly want to make the state ready for the commercial application of self-driving technology.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which theinformation 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 Work Will Change When Most of Us Live to 100A) Today in the United States there are 72,000 centenarians(百岁老人). Worldwide,probably 450,000. If current trends continue,then by 2050 there will be more than a million in the US alone. According to the work of Professor James Vaupel and his co-researchers,50% of babies born in the US in 2007 have a life expectancy of 104 or more. Broadly the same holds for the UK,Germany,France,Italy and Canada,and for Japan 50% of 2007 babies can expect to live to 107.B) Understandably,there are concerns about what this means for public finances given the associated health and pension challenges. These challenges are real,and society urgently needs to address them. But it is also important to look at the wider picture of what happens when so many people live for 100 years. It is a mistake to simply equate longevity(长寿) with issues of old age. Longer lives have implications for all of life,not just the end of it.C) Our view is that if many people are living for longer,and are healthier for longer,then this will result in an inevitable redesign ofwork and life. When people live longer,they are not only older for longer,but also younger for longer. There is some truth in the saying that “70 is the new 60”or “40 the new 30.”If you age more slowly over a longer time period,then you are in some sense younger for longer.D) But the changes go further than that. Take,for instance,the age at which people make commitments such as buying a house,getting married,having children,or starting a career. These are all fundamental commitments that are now occurring later in life. In 1962,50% of Americans were married by age 21. By 2014,that milestone(里程碑) had shifted to age 29.E) While there are numerous factors behind these shifts,one factor is surely a growing realization for the young that they are going to live longer. Options are more valuable the longer they can be held. So if you believe you will live longer,then options become more valuable,and early commitment becomes less attractive. The result is that the commitments that previously characterized the beginning of adulthood are now being delayed,and new patterns of behavior and a new stage of life are emerging for those in their twenties.F) Longevity also pushes back the age of retirement,and not only for financial reasons. Yes,unless people are prepared to save a lot more,our calculations suggest that if you are now in your mid-40s,then you are likely to work until your early 70s; and if you are in your early 20s,there is a real chance you will need to work until your late 70s or possibly even into your 80s. But even if people are able to economically support a retirement at 65,over thirty years of potential inactivity is harmful to cognitive(认知的) and emotional vitality. Many people may simply not want to do it.G) And yet that does not mean that simply extending our careers is appealing. Just lengthening that second stage of full-time work may secure the financial assets needed for a 100-year life,but such persistent work will inevitably exhaust precious intangible assets such as productive skills,vitality,happiness,and friendship.H) The same is true for education. It is impossible that a single shot of education,administered in childhood and early adulthood,will be able to support a sustained,60-year career. If you factor in the projected rates of technological change,either your skills will become unnecessary,or your industry outdated. That means that everyone will,at some point in their life,have to make a number of major reinvestments in their skills.I) It seems likely,then,that the traditional three-stage life will evolve into multiple stages containing two,three,or oven more different careers. Each of these stages could potentially be different. Inone the focus could be on building financial success and personal achievement,in another on creating a better work/life balance,still another on exploring and understanding options more fully,or becoming an independent producer,yet another on making a social contribution. These stages will span sectors,take people to different cities,and provide a foundation for building a wide variety of skills.J) Transitions between stages could be marked with sabbaticals(休假) as people find time to rest and recharge their health,re-invest in their relationships,or improve their skills. At times,these breaks and transitions will be self-determined,at others they will be forced as existing roles,firms,or industries cease to exist.K) A multi-stage life will have profound changes not just in how you manage your career,but also in your approach to life. An increasingly important skill will be your ability to deal with change and even welcome it. A three-stage life has few transitions,while a multi-stage life has many. That is why being self-aware,investing in broader networks of friends,and being open to new ideas will become even more crucial skills.L) These multi-stage lives will create extraordinary variety across groups of people simply because there are so many ways of sequencing the stages. More stages mean more possible sequences.M) With this variety will come the end of the close association of age and stage. In a three-stage life,people leave university at the same time and the same age,they tend to start their careers and family at the same age,they proceed through middle management all roughly the same time,and then move into retirement within a few years of each other. In a multi-stage life,you could be an undergraduate at 20,40,or 60; a manager at 30,50,or 70; and become an independent producer at any age.N) Current life structures,career paths,educational choices,and social norms are out of tune with the emerging reality of longer lifespans. The three-stage life of full-time education,followed by continuous work,and then complete retirement may have worked for our parents or even grandparents,but it is not relevant today. We believe that to focus on longevity as primarily an issue of aging is to miss its full implications. Longevity is not necessarily about being older for longer. It is about living longer,being older later,and being younger longer.36. An extended lifespan in the future will allow people to have more careers than now.37. Just extending one’s career may have both positive and negative effects.38. Nowadays,many Americans have on average delayed their marriage by some eight years.39. Because of their longer lifespan,young people today no longer follow the pattern of life of their parents or grandparents.40. Many more people will be expected to live over 100 by themid-21st century.41. A longer life will cause radical changes in people’s approach to life.42. Fast technological change makes it necessary for one to constantly upgrade their skills.43. Many people may not want to retire early because it would do harm to their mental and emotional well-being.44. The close link between age and stage may cease to exist in a multi-stage life.45. People living a longer and healthier life will have to rearrange their work and life.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.In the classic marriage vow(誓约),couples promise to stay together in sickness and in health. But a new study finds that the risk of divorce among older couples rises when the wife—not the husband—becomes seriously ill.“Married women diagnosed with a serious health condition may find themselves struggling with the impact of their disease while also experiencing the stress of divorce,”said researcher Amelia Karraker.Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham analyzed 20 years of data on 2,717 marriages from a study conducted by Indiana University since 1992. At the time of the first interview,at least one of the partners was over the age of 50.The researchers examined how the onset(发生) of four serious physical illnesses affected marriages. They found that,overall,31% of marriages ended in divorce over the period studied. The incidence of new chronic(慢性的) illness onset increased over time as well,with more husbands than wives developing serious health problems.“We found that women are doubly vulnerable to marital break-up in the face of illness,”Karraker said. “They’re more likely to be widowed,and if they’re the ones who become ill,they’re more likely to get divorced.”While the study didn’t assess why divorce is more likely when wives but not husbands become seriously ill,Karraker offers a few possible reasons. “Gender norms and social expectations about caregiving may make it more difficult for men to provide care to sick spouses,”Karraker said. “And because of the imbalance in marriage markets,especially in older ages,divorced men have more choices among prospective partners than divorced women.”Given the increasing concern about health care costs for the aging population,Karraker believes policymakers should be aware of the relationship between disease and risk of divorce.“Offering support services to spouses caring for their other halves may reduce marital stress and prevent divorce at older ages,”she said. “But it’s also important to recognize that the pressure to divorce may be health-related and that sick ex-wives may need additional care and services to prevent worsening health and increased health costs.”46. What can we learn about marriage vows from the passage?A) They may not guarantee a lasting marriage.B) They are as binding as they used to be.C) They are not taken seriously any more.D) They may help couples tide over hard times.47. What did Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham find about elderly husbands?A) They are generally not good at taking care of themselves.B) They can become increasingly vulnerable to serious illnesses.C) They can develop different kinds of illnesses just like their wives.D) They are more likely to contract serious illnesses than their wives.48. What does Karraker say about women who fall ill?A) They are more likely to be widowed.B) They are more likely to get divorced.C) They are less likely to receive good care.D) They are less likely to bother their spouses.49. Why is it more difficult for men to take care of their sick spouses according to Karraker?A) They are more accustomed to receiving care.B) They find it more important to make money for the family.C) They think it more urgent to fulfill their social obligations.D) They expect society to do more of the job.50. What does Karraker think is also important?A) Reducing marital stress on wives.B) Stabilizing old couples’relations.C) Providing extra care for divorced women.D) Making men pay for their wives’health costs.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.If you were like most children,you probably got upset when your mother called you by a sibling’s(兄弟姐妹的) name. How could she not know you? Did it mean she loved you less?Probably not. According to the first research to tackle this topic head-on,misnaming the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive(认知的) error that has to do with how our memories classify and store familiar names.The study,published online in April in the journal Memory and Cognition,found that the “wrong”name is not random but is invariably fished out from the same relationship pond: children,siblings,friends. The study did not examine the possibility of deep psychological significance to the mistake,says psychologist David Rubin,“but it does tell us who’s in and who’s out of the group.”The study also found that within that group,misnamings occurred where the names shared initial or internal sounds,like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob. Physical resemblance between people was not a factor. Nor was gender.The researchers conducted five separate surveys of more than 1,700 people. Some of the surveys included only college students; others weredone with a mixed-age population. Some asked subjects about incidents where someone close to them—family or friend—had called them by another person’s name. The other surveys asked about times when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name. All the surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren,friends and siblings but hardly ever crossed these boundaries.In general,the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people to make this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and women made the mistake slightly more often,but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix up than parents have children. Also,mothers may call on their children more often than fathers,given traditional gender norms. There was no evidence that errors occurred more when the misnamer was frustrated,tired or angry.51. How might people often feel when they were misnamed?A) Unwanted.B) Unhappy.C) Confused.D) Indifferent.52. What did David Rubin’s research find about misnaming?A) It is related to the way our memories work.B) It is a possible indicator of a faulty memory.C) It occurs mostly between kids and their friends.D) It often causes misunderstandings among people.53. What is most likely the cause of misnaming?A) Similar personality traits.B) Similar spellings of names.C) Similar physical appearance.D) Similar pronunciation of names.54. What did the surveys of more than 1,700 subjects find about misnaming?A) It more often than not hurts relationships.B) It hardly occurs across gender boundaries.C) It is most frequently found in extended families.D) It most often occurs within a relationship group.55. Why do mothers misname their children more often than fathers?A) They suffer more frustrations.B) They become worn out more often.C) They communicate more with their children.D) They generally take on more work at home.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

2023年大学英语四级真题答案与解析

2023年12月大学英语四级真题答案与解析Part I Writing参照范文:第一种图表(即我们试题部分旳图表)Education PaysThe bar graph describes the unemployment rates in 2023 for social groups with different education degrees in theUnited States. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics,the better you are educated,the more likely you are to get employed. For example,there are only about 1.9% and 4% of people with doctoral degree and master s degree respectively who are unemployed,while people with only a high school diploma or less suffer a much higher unemployment rate (14.9% and 10.3% respectively).These data clearly indicate that education pays in the long run and it is a worthy investment. In this IT age especially,when knowledge of science and technology is power,people need to be well equipped with knowledge and skills in order to be competitive in job hunting and be better paid. A higher degree is definitely an advantage in the first place in the job market.It must be added,however,a high degree alone is not enough. It will not ensure a better employment opportunity. In order to succeed in the career,people must also develop practical skills and techniques as well as good communication,teamwork and social experience.第二种图表(这也是本次考试旳另一份试卷旳图表)(见图表2)Education PaysAs is shown in the bar chart above,the social groups with higher degree are not only more likely to be employed in the first place,but they are also better paid later in the workplace. Those with doctoral and professional degrees enjoy a much higher weekly median earning ($1551 and 1665 respectively)and suffer a much lower unemployment rate (2.5% and 2.4%). On the other hand,those with less education suffer a considerably higher unemployment rate and have a much lower weekly income. For example,there are a total of 23.5% (9.4%+14.1%)of people unemployed with high school diploma or less,who have only a median weekly income of $545,as compared with the average $797.These data clearly indicate that education pays in the long run and it is a worthy investment. In this IT age especially,when knowledge of science and technology is power,people need to be well equipped with knowledge and skills in order to be competitive in job hunting and be better paid. A higher degree is definitely an advantage in the first place in the job market and a competitive edge for workplace promotions.It must be added,however,a high degree alone is not enough. It will not ensure a better employment opportunity and higher salary. In order to succeed in the career,people must also develop practical skills and techniques as well as good communication,teamwork and social experience.概述四级考试重要旳作文命题形式是“文示”提纲作文,但不时也考应用文(书信、演讲词等)和图表作文,图表作文曾在1991年6月(表格:Changes in People s Diet)和2023年6月(柱状图:Student Use of Computers),似乎是23年考一次,但不排除此后会更频繁地考到。

Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.The center of American automobile innovation has in the past decade moved 2,000 miles away. It has 26from Detroit to Silicon Valley, where self-driving vehicles are coming to life.In a 27 to take production back to Detroit, Michigan lawmakers have introduced 28 that could make their state the best place in the country, if not the world, to develop self-driving vehicles and put them on the road.“Michigan’s 29 in auto research and development is under attack from several states and countries which desire to 30 our leadership in transportation.

Manufacturers would have nearly total freedom to test their self-driving technology on public roads. They would be allowed to send groups of self-driving cars on cross-state road trips,and even set up on-demand 33 of self-driving cars, like the one General Motors and Lyft are building.Lawmakers in Michigan clearly want to make the state ready for the commercial application of self-driving technology.

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 Work Will Change When Most of Us Live to 100A) Today in the United States there are 72,000 centenarians(百岁老人). Worldwide, probably 450,000. If current trends continue, then by 2050 there will be more than a million in the US alone. According to the work of Professor James Vaupel and his co-researchers, 50% of babies born in the US in 2007 have a life expectancy of 104 or more. Broadly the same holds for the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Canada, and for Japan 50% of 2007 babies can expect to live to 107.B) Understandably, there are concerns about what this means for public finances given the associated health and pension challenges. These challenges are real, and society urgently needs to address them. But it is also important to look at the wider picture of what happens when so many people live for 100 years. It is a mistake to simply equate longevity(长寿) with issues of old age. Longer lives have implications for all of life, not just the end of it.C) Our view is that if many people are living for longer, and are healthier for longer, then this will result in an inevitable redesign of work and life. When people live longer, they are not only older for longer, but also younger for longer. There is some truth in the saying that “70 is the new 60” or “40 the new 30.” If you age more slowly over a longer time period, then you are in some sense younger for longer.D) But the changes go further than that. Take, for instance, the age at which people make commitments such as buying a house,getting married, having children, or starting a career. These are all fundamental commitments that are now occurring later in life. In 1962, 50% of Americans were married by age 21. By 2014, that milestone(里程碑) had shifted to age 29.E) While there are numerous factors behind these shifts, one factor is surely a growing realization for the young that they are going to live longer. Options are more valuable the longer they can be held. So if you believe you will live longer, then options become more valuable, and early commitment becomes less attractive. The result is that the commitments that previously characterized the beginning of adulthood are now being delayed, and new patterns of behavior and a new stage of life are emerging for those in their twenties.F) Longevity also pushes back the age of retirement, and not only for financial reasons. Yes, unless people are prepared to save a lot more, our calculations suggest that if you are now in your mid-40s,then you are likely to work until your early 70s; and if you are in your early 20s, there is a real chance you will need to work until your late 70s or possibly even into your 80s. But even if people are able to economically support a retirement at 65, over thirty years of potentialinactivity is harmful to cognitive(认知的) and emotional vitality. Many people may simply not want to do it.G) And yet that does not mean that simply extending our careers is appealing. Just lengthening that second stage of full-time work may secure the financial assets needed for a 100-year life, but such persistent work will inevitably exhaust precious intangible assets such as productive skills, vitality, happiness, and friendship.H) The same is true for education. It is impossible that a single shot of education, administered in childhood and early adulthood, will be able to support a sustained, 60-year career. If you factor in the projected rates of technological change, either your skills will become unnecessary, or your industry outdated. That means that everyone will, at some point in their life, have to make a number of major reinvestments in their skills.I) It seems likely, then, that the traditional three-stage life will evolve into multiple stages containing two, three, or oven more different careers. Each of these stages could potentially be different. In one the focus could be on building financial success and personal achievement, in another on creating a better work/life balance, still another on exploring and understanding options more fully, or becoming an independent producer, yet another on making a socialcontribution. These stages will span sectors, take people to different cities, and provide a foundation for building a wide variety of skills.J) Transitions between stages could be marked with sabbaticals(休假) as people find time to rest and recharge their health, re-invest in their relationships, or improve their skills. At times, these breaks and transitions will be self-determined, at others they will be forced as existing roles, firms, or industries cease to exist.K) A multi-stage life will have profound changes not just in how you manage your career, but also in your approach to life. An increasingly important skill will be your ability to deal with change and even welcome it. A three-stage life has few transitions, while a multi-stage life has many. That is why being self-aware, investing in broader networks of friends, and being open to new ideas will become even more crucial skills.L) These multi-stage lives will create extraordinary variety across groups of people simply because there are so many ways of sequencing the stages. More stages mean more possible sequences.M) With this variety will come the end of the close association of age and stage. In a three-stage life, people leave university at the same time and the same age, they tend to start their careers andfamily at the same age, they proceed through middle management all roughly the same time, and then move into retirement within a few years of each other. In a multi-stage life, you could be an undergraduate at 20, 40, or 60; a manager at 30, 50, or 70; and become an independent producer at any age.N) Current life structures, career paths, educational choices,and social norms are out of tune with the emerging reality of longer lifespans. The three-stage life of full-time education, followed by continuous work, and then complete retirement may have worked for our parents or even grandparents, but it is not relevant today. We believe that to focus on longevity as primarily an issue of aging is to miss its full implications. Longevity is not necessarily about being older for longer. It is about living longer, being older later, and being younger longer.36. An extended lifespan in the future will allow people to have more careers than now.37. Just extending one’s career may have both positive and negative effects.38. Nowadays, many Americans have on average delayed their marriage by some eight years.39. Because of their longer lifespan, young people today no longer follow the pattern of life of their parents or grandparents.40. Many more people will be expected to live over 100 by the mid-21st century.41. A longer life will cause radical changes in people’s approach to life.42. Fast technological change makes it necessary for one to constantly upgrade their skills.43. Many people may not want to retire early because it would do harm to their mental and emotional well-being.44. The close link between age and stage may cease to exist in a multi-stage life.45. People living a longer and healthier life will have to rearrange their work and life.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 decideon 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.In the classic marriage vow(誓约), couples promise to stay together in sickness and in health. But a new study finds that the risk of divorce among older couples rises when the wife—not the husband—becomes seriously ill.“Married women diagnosed with a serious health condition may find themselves struggling with the impact of their disease while also experiencing the stress of divorce,” said researcher Amelia Karraker.Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham analyzed 20 years of data on 2,717 marriages from a study conducted by Indiana University since 1992. At the time of the first interview, at least one of the partners was over the age of 50.The researchers examined how the onset(发生) of four serious physical illnesses affected marriages. They found that, overall, 31% of marriages ended in divorce over the period studied. The incidence ofnew chronic(慢性的) illness onset increased over time as well, with more husbands than wives developing serious health problems.“We found that women are doubly vulnerable to marital break-up in the face of illness,” Karraker said. “They’re more likely to be widowed, and if they’re the ones who become ill, they’re more likely to get divorced.”While the study didn’t assess why divorce is more likely when wives but not husbands become seriously ill, Karraker offers a few possible reasons. “Gender norms and social expectations about caregiving may make it more difficult for men to provide care to sick spouses,” Karraker said. “And because of the imbalance in marriage markets, especially in older ages, divorced men have more choices among prospective partners than divorced women.”Given the increasing concern about health care costs for the aging population, Karraker believes policymakers should be aware of the relationship between disease and risk of divorce.“Offering support services to spouses caring for their other halves may reduce marital stress and prevent divorce at older ages,” she said. “But it’s also important to recognize that the pressure to divorcemay be health-related and that sick ex-wives may need additional care and services to prevent worsening health and increased health costs.”46. What can we learn about marriage vows from the passage?A) They may not guarantee a lasting marriage.B) They are as binding as they used to be.C) They are not taken seriously any more.D) They may help couples tide over hard times.47. What did Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham find about elderly husbands?A) They are generally not good at taking care of themselves.B) They can become increasingly vulnerable to serious illnesses.C) They can develop different kinds of illnesses just like their wives.D) They are more likely to contract serious illnesses than their wives.48. What does Karraker say about women who fall ill?A) They are more likely to be widowed.B) They are more likely to get divorced.C) They are less likely to receive good care.D) They are less likely to bother their spouses.49. Why is it more difficult for men to take care of their sick spouses according to Karraker?A) They are more accustomed to receiving care.B) They find it more important to make money for the family.C) They think it more urgent to fulfill their social obligations.D) They expect society to do more of the job.50. What does Karraker think is also important?A) Reducing marital stress on wives.B) Stabilizing old couples’ relations.C) Providing extra care for divorced women.D) Making men pay for their wives’ health costs.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.If you were like most children, you probably got upset when your mother called you by a sibling’s(兄弟姐妹的) name. How could she not know you Did it mean she loved you lessProbably not. According to the first research to tackle this topic head-on, misnaming the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive(认知的) error that has to do with how our memories classify and store familiar names.The study, published online in April in the journal Memory and Cognition, found that the “wrong” name is not random but is invariably fished out from the same relationship pond: children,siblings, friends. The study did not examine the possibility of deep psychological significance to the mistake, says psychologist David Rubin,“but it does tell us who’s in and who’s out of the group.”The study also found that within that group, misnamings occurred where the names shared initial or internal sounds, like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob. Physical resemblance between people was not a factor. Nor was gender.The researchers conducted five separate surveys of more than 1,700 people. Some of the surveys included only college students; others were done with a mixed-age population. Some asked subjects aboutincidents where someone close to them—family or friend—had called them by another person’s name. The other surveys asked about times when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name. All the surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren, friends and siblings but hardly ever crossed these boundaries.In general, the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people to make this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and women made the mistake slightly more often, but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix up than parents have children. Also, mothers may call on their children more often than fathers, given traditional gender norms. There was no evidence that errors occurred more when the misnamer was frustrated, tired or angry.51. How might people often feel when they were misnamed?A) Unwanted.B) Unhappy.C) Confused.D) Indifferent.52. What did David Rubin’s research find about misnaming?A) It is related to the way our memories work.B) It is a possible indicator of a faulty memory.C) It occurs mostly between kids and their friends.D) It often causes misunderstandings among people.53. What is most likely the cause of misnaming?A) Similar personality traits.B) Similar spellings of names.C) Similar physical appearance.D) Similar pronunciation of names.54. What did the surveys of more than 1,700 subjects find about misnaming?A) It more often than not hurts relationships.B) It hardly occurs across gender boundaries.C) It is most frequently found in extended families.D) It most often occurs within a relationship group.55. Why do mothers misname their children more often than fathers?A) They suffer more frustrations.B) They become worn out more often.C) They communicate more with their children.D) They generally take on more work at home.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

英语四级考试试题--巨微《四级真题.逐句精解》

英语四级考试试题--巨微《四级真题.逐句精解》

英语四级考试试题—巨微《四级真题/逐句精解》2016年上半年的英语四级考试也已经结束,下一次的考试也悄悄来临,相信很多人已经开始准备起来了,特别是上次没考好的和基础不好的同学应该早早都提上了日程。

今天就给大家介绍一本英语四级考试试题——巨微英语《四级真题/逐句精解》,赶紧看吧!英语四级考试试题——巨微英语《四级真题/逐句精解》首先,注重“听力”,开篇有益。

作为考试中的第一个模块,听力做的好坏大体决定了你整套试卷的成败,所以一定要高度重视。

大家要明确一点,要想提高听力,必须要多听多练!基础好的,词汇量5000以上的,可以试着去听长文章,找一些外国新闻来听,比如VOA(美国慢速英语),BBC等,跟真题的语速差不多,听的时候也可以跟着读,了解适当的语法知识,语速建议由慢到快,反复听,有那种可以调语速的音频播放器,我当时用的QQ影音就可以,语速你自己掌握,记得要慢慢加快。

对于基础差点的,我建议先不要听长文章,先听短对话短句子练习一下,大家知道现在四级听力改革了,没有短对话了,但是建议基础差的还是从短对话开始练。

音频大家可以去百度“零元课”,里面有历年的听力短对话可以下载。

还有免费视频课可以看一下。

睡觉前也可以练习一下听力,我当时是下载的扇贝听力APP在手机上,睡觉前会拿出来听20分钟。

等你练习到听句子很顺畅了,能听的很清楚了,你就可以开始尝试听长文章和新闻了,我上面说到了。

记住练习一篇听力要练到能听出来所有的词汇为止,只有这样才能提高考场上的反应能力,真正听明白词义和句义。

其次,练习“翻译”,扎好马步。

很多同学不是太重视四六级的翻译,认为即使提前准备也不会有太大提高,其实并不是。

四六级的翻译也是可以快速提分的,因为它考察内容有很多重复的地方,比如:词汇,句式结构,文章题材。

去年12月的四级就考察了:中餐,中国结,茶文化等中国传统文化的相关内容,很多词语是相通的;同一句式结构会反复考察,比如not only...but also...。

Mark the best choice for each blank on your answer sheet.People thinking about the origin of language for the first time usually arrive at the conclusion that it developed gradually as a system of grunts, hisses and cries and ( 26 ) a very simple affair in the beginning.( 27 ), when we observe the language behaviour of ( 28 )we regard as primitive cultures, we find it ( 29 )complicated. It was believed thatan Eskimo must have the tip of his tongue a vocabulary of more than 10,000 words( 30 ) to get along reasonably well, much larger than the active vocabulary of an average businessman who speaks English.( 31 ), these Eskimo words are far more highly infleeted (词尾变化的 ) than ( 32 ) of any of the well -known European languages, for a( 33 )noun can be spoken or written in ( 34 )hundred different forms, each ( 35 )a precise meaning different from that of any other.The forms of the verbs are even more ( 36 ). The Eskimo language is, therefore,one of the most difficult in the world to learn,( 37 ) the result that almost no tradersor explorers have( 38 )tried to learn it. Consequently, there has grown up, in communication between Eskimos and whites, a jargon ( 39 )to the pidgin Englishused in Old China, with a vocabulary of from 300 to 600 uninflected words. Most of them are derived from Eskimo but some are derived from English, Danish, Spanish, Hawaiian and other languages. It is this jargon that is usually( 40 ) by travellers as“ the Eskimo language ”.26.A. must be B. must have beenC. ought to be27.A. However B. ThereforeC. ProbablyD. Undoubtedly28.

Choose the onethat you think is the best answer.TEXT AMany of the home electric goods which are advertised as liberating the modernwoman tend to have the opposite effect, because they simple change the nature ofwork instead of eliminating it. Machines have a certain novelty value, like toys foradults. It is certainly less tiring to put clothes in a washing machine, but the timesaved does not really amount to much: the machine has to be watched, the clotheshave to be carefully sorted out first, stains removed by hand, buttons pushed andwater changed, clothes taken out, aired and ironed. It would be more liberating topack it all off to a laundry and not necessarily more expensive, since no capitalinvestment is required. Similarly, if you really want to save time you do not makecakes with an electric mixer, you buy one in a shop. Ifone compares the image of thewoman in the women ’ s magazine with the goods advertised by those periodicals; onerealizes how useful a projected image can be commercially. A careful balance has tobe struck: if you show a labour-saving device, follow it up with a complicated’ recipe on the next page; on no account hint at the notion that a woman could get herself a job,but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness, emphasizing the creative aspect ofher function as a housewife. So we get cake mixes where the cook simply adds an eggherself, to produce “ thatlovely homo-baked flavour the family love ”and, knittingpatterns that can be made by hand, or worse still, on knitting machines, which became tremendously fashionable when they were first introduced. Automatic cookers areadvertised by pictures of pretty young mothers taking their children to the park, notby professional women presetting the dinner before leaving home for work.66.According to the passage, many of the home electric goods which are supposedC. save the housewife ’ s time but not her moneyD. lent to other people68.TEXT BThe “ standardof living”of any country means the average person’share of thegoods and services which the country produces. A country ’sstandard of living,therefore, depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth.“ Wealt this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money canbuy: “ goods”such as food and clothing, and “ services such” as transport andentertainment.A country ’ s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most ofwhichhave an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country ’snatural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on.Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have afertile soil and a favourable climate; other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. Some countriesare perhaps well off in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil andexternal wars, and for this and other reasons have been unable to develop theirresources. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion,enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and toproduce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less wellordered. Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country ’peoples.Industrialized countries that have trained numerous skilled workers and techniciansare better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largelyunskilled.A country ’standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that isproduced and consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is indirectlyproduced through international trade. For example, Britain ’althswein foodstuffs andother agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on thosegrown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus manufactured goods to betraded abroad for the agricultural products that would otherwise be lacking. Acountry ’wealths is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity,provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.69.A. its goods and services70. A country ’capacitys to produce wealth depends on all the factors EXCEPTA. people ’share of its goodsB. political and social stabilityC. qualities of itsworkers D. use of natural resources71. According to the passage,___ play an equally important rule in determining aA. farm productsB. industrial .goodsC. foodstuffsD. export and importTEXT Cour teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content toaccept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will beable to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently andwithout embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress.A barber today does not cut a boy ’ s hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do notmake up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisersshow us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure tofollow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity orjust the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats, for example. Incold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well asoutside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in theAmerican hat industry by not wearing hats: more American men followed his example.There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America,short skirts became fashionable. After World War Two, they dropped to ankle length.Then they got shorter and shorter the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years,skirts became longer again.Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longernecessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or doyour hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion.The popularity of jeans and the “ untidy look” seems to be a reaction against theincreasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then wemust choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in alaw firm wearing jeans and a sweater; and it would be discourteous to visit somedistinguished scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club.However, you need never feel depressed if you don’ t look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you’ ll see that no one else does either!72.A. satisfied with their appearance精品文档73.A. confidence in lifeB. personal dressC. individual hair style74.A. uniformB. variedC. unknownD. inexplicable.75.Present-day society is much freer and easier because it emphasizes___.A. uniformity B76.C. Ignoring appearance in informal situations.D. Ignoring appearance in all situations.TEXT Dunderway. Whether it ’ones of London’parks full of people playing softball, andRussians taking up rugby, or the Superbowl rivaling the British Football Cup Final asa televised spectator event in Britain, the patterns of players and spectators arechanging beyond recognition. We are witnessing a globalization of our sportingculture.That annual bicycle race, the Tour de France, much loved by the French is a good case in point. Just a few years back it was a strictly continental affair withFrance, Belgium and Holland, Spain and Italy taking part. But in recent years it hasbeen dominated by Colombian mountain climbers, and American and Irish riders.The people who really matter welcome the shift toward globalization. Peugeot, Michelin and Panasonic are multi-national corporations that want worldwide returnsfor the millions they invest in teams. So it does them literally a world of good to seethis unofficial world championship become just that.This is undoubtedly an economic-based revolution we are witnessing here, one made possible by communications technology, but made to happen because ofmarketing considerations. Sell the game and you can sell Cola or Budweiser as well.The skilful way in which American football has been sold to Europe is a good example of how all sports will develop. The aim of course is notreally to spread the sport for its own sake, but to increase the number of peopleinterested in the major money-making events. The economics of the Superbowl arealready astronomical. With seats at US $125, gate receipts alone were a staggering$ 10,000,000. The most important statistic of the day, however, was the$ 100,000,000 in TV advertising fees. Imagine how much that becomes when the eyes of the world are watching.So it came as a terrible shock, but not really as a surprise, to learn that some people are now suggesting that soccer change from being a game of two 45-minutehalves, to one of four 25-minute quarters. The idea is unashamedly to capture more精品文档advertising revenue, without giving any thought for the integrity of asport whichrelies for its essence on the flowing nature of the action.Moreover, as sports expand into world markets, and as our choice of sports as consumers also grows, so we will demand to see them played at a higher and higher level. In boxing we have already seen numerous, dubious world title categoriesbecause people will not pay to see anything less than a “ World Tideand”thisfight,means that the titlefights have to be held in different countries around the world!77.Globalization of sporting culture means that ___.B. traditional sport78.Which of the following is NOT related to the massive changes?A. Good economic returns.B. Revival of sportsC. Communications technology.D. Marketing strategies.79.What is the author ’ s attitude towards the suggestion to change soccer into one of four 25-minute quarters?A. Favourable.B. Unclear.C. Reserved.D. Critical.80.People want to see higher-C. there exist few world-class championshipsD. sports events are exciting and stimulating精品文档听力原文及解析PART II DICTATIONThe world ’ s forests are disappearing. As much as 1/3 of the total tree cover hasbeen lost since agriculture began some 10,000 years ago. The remaining forests arehome to half of the world ’species, thus becoming the chief resource for theirsurvival. Tropical rain forests once covered 12% of the land of the planet, as well assupporting at least half of the world s species of’plants and animals. These rain forestsare home to millions of people. But there are other demands on them. For example,much has been cut for timber. An increasing amount of forest land has been used forindustrial purposes or for agricultural development such as crop-growing. By the1990’ s less than half of the earth’ s original rain forests remained, and they continued to disappear at an alarming rate every year.

As far as I amconcerned, the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology.According to some surveys, nowadays, most patients are not physically sick butmentally ill.

前言
一、备考三大法则:立足真题,基础优先,重视技巧
整天猛背单词,还是看不懂试题?做了各种单项训练,还是考不好?学了各种解题技巧,答题时依然一筹莫展?上了很多辅导班,效果依旧很差?……最可气的是,自己百读不通、屡考不过,而有些同学却轻松地高分过关!这究竟是为什么?多年的研究和经验证明,原因主要有三点:
其一,没有立足于真题书。

首先,很多考生忽视真题,习惯性地选用模拟题、预测题或者各种模拟、预测性质的单项训练用书。

岂不知四级真题是全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会诸多一流专家严格按照考试大纲的要求,反复筛选、测试和论证的结果,其规范性、权威性是其他任何资料无可比拟的。

在考点分布上,真题具有“重者恒重、轻者恒轻”的规律;在命题思路和命题方法上,各套真题之间具有高度的一致性和传承性。

因此,反复专研四级真题是有效把握重要考点、洞悉命题规律和总结解题思路的最佳捷径。

相比之下,模拟题或者预测题与之相去甚远:其文章选取往往不够规范,难以涵盖四级考试涉及的重要语法和词汇;其题目设置不够严谨,考生难以借其全面把握四级考试命题专家的命题思路。

其次,还有很多考生不结合真题语境,单纯地死记硬背词汇书,这也是不行的。

这种做法不仅效率低、效果差,前记后忘,而且无法掌握特定单词在具体语境中的运用方法。

从上述两方面可以看出,立足真题是高效备考四级的重要前提。

其二,没有做到基础优先。

在技巧横行、功利心切的今天,基础的重要性早已被湮没。

殊不知,基础——且只有基础,才是英语学习和使用的根本所在。

在英语应试的两大基础中,词汇是前提,句法是关键。

词汇是语言的基石,是篇章的最基本单元,没有一定的词汇量,阅读文章就无从谈起。

但是,掌握充足的词汇并不等于看懂文章,在四级试题句子结构日趋复杂的现实前提下,考生必须从句法入手,掌握各种长难句的典型结构。

无数的成功实践证明,句法才是突破英语基础的关键所在——句法通了,阅读、翻译、写作等才能一通百通。

正因为如此,考生在应试备考的过程中应当直指句法这一最为关键的因素,并在此基础上顺带解决词汇的记忆问题。

这样一种战略,既能直击句法这一英语学习的要害,也能一并解决单纯记忆词汇所导致的语境缺失问题,因而是快速夯实基础、大幅提升成绩的破局之点。

更何况,只有拥有坚实的基础,满分技巧才有发挥作用的空间。

由此可见,只有摒弃幻想、恶补基础,才有可能在四级考试中披荆斩棘,夺取高分。

其三,没有系统掌握技巧。

不少考生备考伊始就迷恋各种“投机技巧”。

然而,目前市场上多数图书所罗列的解题技巧要么断章取义、不成体系,要么互不兼容、相互矛盾。

学习此类技巧不仅无法提高解题速度和正确率,反而会使考生乱了章法。

加之很多考生未先夯实词汇和句法基础,三番五次、反复折腾之后极易丧失信心。

所以,在夯实基础的前提下分题型、分考点地系统学习和掌握满分解题技巧,才是正确途径。

为了解决上述问题,巨微英语坚持“立足真题、基础优先和重视技巧”的图书编著理念,并做到一书多用:其先逐词逐句精解“老6套”真题文章,帮助考生恶补句法和
词汇基础;再按照题型类别开设专题,系统讲解四级考试满分答题技巧,让考生在演练“新12套”真题试卷的过程中验证和掌握满分技巧。

由此还衍生出了旨在将四级备考程式化、进而帮助更多基础薄弱者实现高效备考的“巨微英语128备考法”(即“一书、两步、八周”备考法)。

二、基础优先:利用“老6套”真题文章恶补基础
巨微英语《四级真题·逐句精解》一书最大的特点在于:它专为基础薄弱考生“恶补基础”而编著。

书籍立足于四级真题,直击英语基础的关键——句法,并在逐句研读真题句法的同时,一并解决英语基础的前提——核心词汇的记忆问题。

其能从根本上解决阅读文章读不懂、理解不透之难,顺便解决写作表达枯燥、遣词低级,听力听不透、句群看不懂,翻译句式转换困难、表达干瘪等问题,从而彻底夯实英语基础。

其一,恶补句法,逐句研读句法。

本书首开逐句研读真题句法之先河,运用“结构图示+文字说明”和“文字描述”之法,将历年四级真题中的文章一句一句地掰开揉碎,对其句法进行深入细致地剖析。

这无疑是四级真题出版史上的一个重要里程碑。

与一般真题书籍相比,该书抓住了英语基础的要害,最大化地挖掘了真题书籍的潜在功能(用真题夯实语法基础),是快速、精准、有效夯实句法基础的绝杀武器。

其二,恶补词汇,逐句精讲词汇。

本书首开逐句精讲真题词汇之先河,系统注释了真题文章中每个句子的核心词汇,全面列举了单词的词性、文中词义、常见词义、熟词僻意、派生词、近义词、反义词、常用词组等,并配有经典例句。

讲解详尽度和专业度绝对赶超市场上的常规词汇书籍。

此外,在真题环境下识记词汇,会实现记忆效率最大化。

本书逐句研读句法、逐句精讲词汇,无疑能够满足基础薄弱考生在备考初期“恶补语言基础”的强烈需求。

正因为精细,一书在手,考生从此无需借助任何词汇、语法书,便能“一次性、无悬念”地夯实四级语言基础,进而为高分通过四级考试奠定基石!
三、重视技巧:利用“新12套”真题试卷演练技巧
句法和词汇是四级考试的基石,满分解题技巧是获取高分的助推器。

巨微英语《四级真题·逐句精解》一书开设专题,系统总结四级考试的满分答题技巧(所选例子均出自真题),并配备12套真题及精准解析。

如此编排的目的在于,让考生系统研习四大题型的满分解题技巧,并通过真题演练对其进行验证和强化,最终达到准确、快速解题,获取高分的目的。

其一,系统掌握满分技巧。

巨微英语团队对迄今为止各类辅导用书及培训机构所倡导的有效答题技巧进行了系统、全面的梳理,“取其精华,去其糟粕”,最终凝练为四本“满分兵法大总结”小册子,旨在为基础薄弱的考生提供实用、有效的方法论体系。

高分考生的成功经验也不断证明:四本“满分兵法大总结”小册子所萃取的各个题型满分答题技巧精准、快速、有效,是基础薄弱考生规避自身短板、实现一次性、无悬念、高分闪过的必备武器。

其二,全面践行满分技巧。

本书配备2014年12月以来的12套真题,解析精准权威、详略得当,质量明显赶超市场同类真题书。

其实践意义在于:验证技巧,提升答对率。

真题演练能够为基础薄弱考生提供充分实践和验证满分技巧的机会,确保其能够熟练、扎实地掌握所学技巧,提升试题答对率。

此外,本书还具有两项重要作用:其一,演练最新12套真题,能够帮助考生培养考试状态、把握设题规律;其二,帮助考生检验“恶补基础”环节的词汇和句法学习成果,以便考生及时查漏补缺。

因此,操练真题既是对满分技巧的实践,也是对语言基础的查漏补缺。

四级真题所具有的高度内在一致性决定了其在考点上的相对恒定性,先夯实基础、再掌握满分技巧,可以帮助考生实现“一次性、无悬念、高分通过”英语四级考试的夙愿。
