This system of learned behavior patterns characteristic of the members of a given society is constantly shaped by a set of dynamic variables: language, religion, values and attitudes, manners and customs, aesthetics, technology, education, and social institutions. To cope with this system, an internationalmanager needs both factual and interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge can be learned; its interpretation comes only through experience.The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment stem from the fact that one cannot learn culture—one has to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the business world on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is that business is business the world around, following the model of Pepsi and McDonald’s. In some cases, globalization is a fact of life; however, cultural differences are still far from converging.The other school proposes that companies must tailor business approaches to individual cultures. Setting up policies and procedures in each country has been compared to an organ transplant; the critical question centers around acceptance or rejection. The major challenge to the international manager is to make sure that rejection is not a result of cultural myopia or even blindness.Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large companies that earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas. The internationally successful companies all share an important quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but rather built their operations carefully by following the most basic business principles. These principles are to know your adversary, know your audience, and know your customer.1.According to the passage, which of the following is true?[A]All international managers can learn culture.[B]Business diversity is not necessary.[C]Views differ on how to treat culture in business world.[D]Most people do not know foreign culture well.2.According to the author, the model of Pepsi .[A]is in line with the theories that the business is business the world around[B]is different from the model of McDonald’s[C]shows the reverse of globalization[D]has converged cultural differences3.The two schools of thought .[A]both propose that companies should tailor business approaches to individual cultures[B]both advocate that different policies be set up in different countries[C]admit the existence of cultural diversity in business world[D]both A and B4.This article is supposed to be most useful for those .[A]who are interested in researching the topic of cultural diversity[B]who have connections to more than one type of culture[C]who want to travel abroad[D]who want to run business on International Scale5.According to Fortune, successful internationalcompanies .[A]earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas[B]all have the quality of patience[C]will follow the overseas local cultures[D]adopt the policy of internationalization1小题>、【正确答案】：C2小题>、【正确答案】：A3小题>、【正确答案】：C4小题>、【正确答案】：D5小题>、【正确答案】：D【参考解析】：无第3题：Most shoplifters (商店扒手)agree that the January sales offer wonderful opportunities for the hard-working thief. With the shops so crowded and the staff so busy, it does not require any extraordinary talent to help you to take one or two little things and escape unnoticed. It is known, in the business, as "hoisting".But the hoisting game is not what it used to be. Even at the height of the sales, shoplifters today never know if they are being watched by one of those evil little balls that hang from the ceilings of so many department stores above the most desirable goods.As if that was not trouble enough for them, they can now be filmed at work and obliged to attend a showing of their performance in court.Selfridges was the first big London store to install closed-circuit videotape equipment to watch its sales floors. In October last year the store won its first court case for shoplifting using a evidence a videotape clearly showing a couple stealing dresses. It was an important test case which encouraged other stores to install similar equipment.When the balls, called sputniks, first make an appearance in shops, it was widely believed that their only function was to frighten shoplifters. Their somewhat ridiculous appearances, the curious holes and red lights going on and off, certainly make the theory believable.It did not take long, however, for serious shoplifters to start showing suitable respect. Soon after the equipment was in operation at Selfridges, store detective Brian Chadwick was sitting in the control room watching a woman secretly putting bottles of perfume into her bag."As she turned to go," Chadwick recalled, "she suddenly looked up at the 'sputnik' and stopped. She could not possibly have seen that the camera was trained on her because it is completely hidden, but she must have had a feeling that I was looking at her.""For a moment she paused, but then she returned to counter and started putting everything back. When she had finished, she opened her bag towards the camera to show it was empty and hurried out of the store."1. January is a good month for shoplifters because ________.[A] they don't need to wait for staff to serve them[B] they don't need any previous experience as thieves[C] there are so many people in the store[D] January sales offer wonderful opportunities for them2. The sputniks hanging from the ceiling are intended ________.[A] to watch the most desirable goods [C] to frighten shoplifters by their appearance[B] to make films that can be used as evidence [D] to be used as evidence against shoplifters3. The case last October was important because ________ .[A] the store got the dresses back[B] the equipment was able to frighten shoplifters[C] other shops found out about the equipment[D] the kind of evidence supplied was accepted by court4. The woman stealing perfume ________.[A] guessed what the sputniks were for [C] could see the camera filming her[B] was frightened by its shape [D] knew that the detective had seen her5. The woman's action before leaving the store shows that she ________.[A] was sorry for what she had done[B] was afraid she would be arrested[C]decided she didn't want what she had picked up[D] wanted to prove she had not intended to steal anything1小题>、【正确答案】：C2小题>、【正确答案】：B3小题>、【正确答案】：D4小题>、【正确答案】：A5小题>、【正确答案】：B【参考解析】：无三、完型填空第4题：Who won the World Cup 1994 football game?

The problem might be solved by another ambitious plan, says Roel Boumans, a coastal scientist at the University of Vermont in Burlington who did his ph.D. at LSU: shoring up the lowest land with a slurry of sediment piped in from the river. The majority of the buildings in the flooded areas will have to be razed anyway, he says, "so why not take this opportunity to fix the root of the problem?" The river could deposit enough sediment to raise the bottom of the New Orleans bowl to sea level "in 50 to 60 years," he estimates. In the meantime, people could live in these areas Venice-style, with buildings built on stilts. Boumans even takes it a step further: "You would have to raise everything about 30 centimeters once every 30 years, so why not make the job easier by making houses that can float."Whether that is technically or politically feasible—Day, for one, calls it "not likely" —remains to be seen, especially because until now, the poorest residents lived in the lowest parts of the city. Any decision on how best to protect the city in the future will be tied to how many people will live there, and where. "there may be a large contingent of residents and businesses who choose not to return," says Bill Good, an environmental scientist at LSU and manager of the Louisiana Geological Survey's Coastal Processes section. It is also not yet clear how decisions about the reconstruction will be made, says Good, "Since there is no precedent of comparable magnitude." Every level of government is sure to be involved, and "the process is likely to be ad hoc."Even with the inevitable mingling of science and politics, we still have "a unique chance to back out of some bad decisions," says Good, who grew up in New Orleans. "I hope that we don't let this once-in-history opportunity slip through our fingers in the rush to rebuild the city:"1. The passage gives a general description of the suggestions to reconstruct New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.2. Two examples to deal with water are Netherlands and Venice.3. The canals have nothing to do with the flooding.4. The levees will be shored up further with clear long-term fate.5. The basic problem for New Orleans is the subsidence of Mississippi River delta.6. The key component of Coast 2050 is wetland restoration.7. The plan of Coast 2050 will get billions of federal funding.8. New Orleans will likely sink ________________ by 2100.9. Another ambitious plan is to shoring up the lowest land with a slurry of sediment ________________.10. How decisions about the reconstruction will be made is also ________________.1小题>【参考答案】：略五、翻译第6题：There’s a man at the rece ption desk who see, ms very angry and I think he means (想找麻烦).【参考答案】：to make trouble第7题：Why didn’t you tell me you could lend me the money?

Everyone arrived on time, and Alex ‟s presentation went extremely well. He decided to end the meeting with the conversation about the importance of the district managers to the company‟s plans. “I believe we are going to continue to increase our share of market,” the market,” he he began, “because of t he quality of people the people in in this room. The district manager is the key to the success of the sales representatives in hisdistrict. He sets the term for everyone else. If he has ambitious goals and is willing to put in long hours, everyone in his unit will follow his example.” When Alex was finished, he received polite applauses, but hardly the warm response he hadhoped for. Later he spoke with one of the senior managers. “Things were going so well until the end”, Alex said disappointedly. “Obviously, I said the wrong thing.” “Yes”, the district manager replied. “Half of our managers are women. Most have worked their way up from sales representatives, and they are very proud of the role they played in the company‟s growth. They don‟t care at all about polit ical correctness. But they were definitely surprised and distressed to be referred to as …he‟ in your speech.”Q26 Who did Alex Gordon speak to at the first meeting?Q27 What did Alex want to emphasize at the end of his presentation?Q28 What do we learn about the audience at the meeting?Q29 Why did Alex fail to receive the warm response he had hoped for?Passage 2The way to complain is to act business-like and important. If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager. When the manager comes, ask his or her name. And then state your problem and what you expect to have done about it. Be polite! Shouting or acting rude will get you nowhere. But also be firm in making your complaint. Besides, act important. This doesn‟t mean to put on airs and say “do you know who I am?” What it means is that people are often treated the way they expect to be treated. If you act like someone who expects a fair request to be chances granted, chances are are it will be granted. The worst way complain to complain is is over thetelephone. You are speaking to a voice coming from someone you cannot see. So you can‟t tell how the person on the line is reacting. It is easy for that person to give you the run-around. Complaining in person or by letter is generally moreeffective. If your complaint doesn‟t require an immediate response, it often helps to complain by letter. If you have an appliance that doesn‟t work, send a letter to the store that sold it. Be business-like a nd stick to the point. Don‟t spend a paragraph on how your uncle John tried to fix the problem and couldn‟t.Q30 What does the speaker suggest you do when you are not served properly at a restaurant?Q31 Why does the speaker say the worst way to complain is over the telephone? Q32 What should you do if you make a complaint by letter?Passage 3Barbara Sanders is a wife and the mother of two children, ages 2 and 4. Herhusband, Tom, is an engineer and makes an excellent salary. Before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government, designing government housing. She quit her job when she became pregnant, but is now interested in returning to work. She's been offered an excellent job with the government. Her husband feels it's unnecessary for her to work since the family does not need the added income. He also thinks that a woman should stay home with her children. If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week. Barbara, on the other hand, hasmissed the excitement of her profession and does not feel she would be satisfied doing volunteer work. She would also like to have her own income, so she does not have to ask her husband for money whenever she wants to buy something. She does not think it's necessary to stay home every day with the children and she knows a very reliable babysitter who's willing to come to her house. Tom does not think a babysitter can replace a mother and thinks it's a bad idea for the children to spend so much time with someone who's not part of the family.Q33 What was Barbara's profession before she had children?Q34 What does Barbara's husband suggest she do if she wants to work?Q35 What does Tom think about hiring a babysitter?Section CAlmost every child, on the first day he sets foot in the school building, is smarter, more curious，less afraid of what he doesn't know, better at finding and figuring things out, more confident, resourceful, persistent and independent, than he will either be again in his schooling or, unless he is very unusual and very lucky, for the rest of his life.Already, by paying close attention to and interacting with the world and people around him, and without any school-type formal instruction, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated and abstract than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years-he has solved the mystery of language. He has discovered it. Babies don't even know that language exists.And he has found out how it works and learnt to use it appropriately. He has done it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing his own model of the grammar of language, by trying it out and seeing whether it works, by gradually changing it and refining it until it does work.And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, including many of the concepts that the schools think only they can teach him, and many that are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach him.短对话短对话11.

2010年6月19日大学英语四级考试(A卷)参考答案
2010年6月19日大学英语四级考试参考答案I、写作：Due Attention Should Be Given to Spelling1.如今不少学生在英语学习中不重视拼写2.出现这种情况的原因3.这种现象导致的结果参考范文：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 to word-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.II、快速阅读：1. A) her daughters' repeated complains2.

If he is going to be at your Christmas party, I just won’t come.W: I’m sorry you feel that way, but my mother insists that he come.Q: What does the woman imply?17. W: You’re taking a course with Professor Johnson. What’s your impression so far?M: Well, many students could hardly stay awake in his class without first drinking a cup of coffee.Q: What does the man imply?18.

So I have to work very unsocial hours.W: And do you have to work at the weekend?M: Oh, yes, that’s our busiest time. I get Wednesdays of f.W: What are the things you have to do and the things you don’t have to do? M: Uh, I don’t have to do the washing-up, so that’s good. I have to wear white, and I have to keep everything in the kitchen totally clean.W: What’s hard about the job?M: You are standing up all the time. When we are busy, people get angry and sharp, but that’s normal.W: How did you learn the profession?M: Well, I did a two-year course at college. In the first year we had to learn the basics, and then we had to take exams.W: Was it easy to find a job?M: I wrote to about six hotels and one of them gave me my first job, so I didn’t have to wait too long.W: And what’s the secret of being good at your job?M: Attention to detail. You have to love it. You have to show passion for it. W: And what are your plans for the future?M: I want to have my own place when the time is right.Q19. What does the man say about his job?Q 20.

Conversation 2W: Now you’ve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get?M: Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I don’t quite understand t he column entitled change. Can you explain what it means?W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. I am not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 70p to 90p is a rise of 25 percent. M: Oh yes, I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison.W: Yes. why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation? M: I am sorry I’ve no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were not better off in 2001 than the y were in 2002. That’s strange, isn’t it? And they seem to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is.M: Yes, I don’t understand that at all.W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them? M: I don’t know. I think I’ll probably give them 2 pounds a week.W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?M: Well, out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn’texpect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.W: Yes, by the way, do most children in your country get pocket money?M: Yeah, they do.Q23 What is the table of figures about?Q24 What do we learn from the conversation about British children’s pocket money?Q25 Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do withtheir pocket money?IV、仔细阅读：Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)Section A47 G --- incredibly48 K --- replace49 J --- reduced50 L --- sense51 H --- powering52 D --- exceptions53 E --- expand54 O --- vast55 F --- historic56 I --- protectSection BPassage 157.C --- Its ability to ward off （抗御）disaster is incredible58.D --- Data for analyzing the cause of the crash59.D --- The early models often got damaged in the crash60.B --- To make them easily identifiable61.A --- There is still a good chance of their being recoveredPassage 262.

You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:1. 如今不少学生在英语学习中不重视拼写2. 出现这种情况的原因3. 为了改变这种状况，我认为…Due Attention Should Be Given To Spelling______________________________________________________________________Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes) Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Caught in the WebA few months ago, it wasn't unusual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15 hours per day online. She'd wake up early, turn on her laptop and chat on Internet dating sites and instant-messaging programs – leaving her bed for only brief intervals. Her household bills piled up, along with the dishes and dirty laundry, but it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem."I was starting to feel like my whole world was falling apart – kind of slipping into a depression," said Carla. "I knew that if I didn't get off the dating sites, I'd just keep going," detaching (使脱离) herself further from the outside world.Toebe's conclusion: She felt like she was "addicted" to the Internet. She's not alone.Concern about excessive Internet use isn't new. As far back as 1995, articles in medical journals and the establishment of a Pennsylvania treatment center for overusers generated interest in the subject. There's still no consensus on how much time online constitutes too much or whether addiction is possible.But as reliance on the Web grows, there are signs that the question is getting more serious attention: Last month, a study published in CNS Spectrums claimed to be the first large-scale look at excessive Internet use. The American Psychiatric Association may consider listing Internet addiction in the next edition of its diagnostic manual. And scores of online discussion boards have popped up on which people discuss negative experiences tied to too much time on the Web."There's no question that there're people who're seriously in trouble because they're overdoing their Internet involvement," said psychiatrist (精神科医生) Ivan Goldberg. Goldberg calls the problem a disorder rather than a true addiction.Jonathan Bishop, a researcher in Wales specializing in online communities, is more skeptical. "The Internet is an environment," he said. "You can't be addicted to the environment." Bishop describes the problem as simply a matter of priorities, which can be solved by encouraging people to prioritize other life goals and plans in place of time spent online.The new CNS Spectrums study was based on results of a nationwide telephone survey of more than 2,500 adults. Like the 2005 survey, this one was conducted by Stanford University researchers.About 6% of respondents reported that "their relationships suffered because of excessiveInternet use." About 9% attempted to conceal "nonessential Internet use," and nearly 4% reported feeling "preoccupied by the Internet when offline."About 8% said they used the Internet as a way to escape problems, and almost 14% reported they "found it hard to stay away from the Internet for several days at a time.""The Internet problem is still in its infancy," said Elias Aboujaoude, a Stanford professor. No single online activity is to blame for excessive use, he said. "They're online in chat rooms, checking e-mail, or writing blogs. [The problem is] not limited to porn (色情) or gambling" websites.Excessive Internet use should be defined not by the number of hours spent online but "in terms of losses," said Maressa Orzack, a Harvard University professor. "If it's a loss [where] you're not getting to work, and family relationships are breaking down as a result, then it's too much."Since the early 1990s, several clinics have been established in the U. S. to treat heavy Internet users. They include the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery and the Center for Internet Behavior.The website for Orzack's center lists the following among the psychological symptoms of computer addiction:● Having a sense of well-being (幸福) or excitement while at the computer.● Longing for more and mor e time at the computer.● Neglect of family and friends.● Feeling empty, depressed or irritable when not at the computer.● Lying to employers and family about activities.● Inability to stop the activity.● Problems with school or job.Physical symptoms listed include dry eyes, backaches, skipping meals, poor personal hygiene (卫生) and sleep disturbances.People who struggle with excessive Internet use maybe depressed or have other mood disorders, Orzack said. When she discusses Internet habits with her patients, they often report that being online offers a "sense of belonging, and escape, excitement [and] fun," she said. "Some people say relief…because they find themselves so relaxed."Some parts of the Internet seem to draw people in more than others. Internet gamers spend countless hours competing in games against people from all over the world. One such game, called World of Warcraft, is cited on many sites by posters complaining of a "gaming addiction."Andrew Heidrich, an education network administrator from Sacramento, plays World of Warcraft for about two to four hours every other night, but that's nothing compared with the 40 to 60 hours a week he spent playing online games when he was in college. He cut back only after a full-scale family intervention (干预), in which relatives told him he'd gained weight."There's this whole culture of competition that sucks people in" with online gaming, said Heidrich, now a father of two. "People do it at the expense of everything that was a constant in their lives." Heidrich now visits websites that discuss gaming addiction regularly "to remind myself to keep my love for online games in check."Toebe also regularly visits a site where posters discuss Internet overuse. In August, when she first realized she had a problem, she posted a message on a Yahoo Internet addiction group with the subject line: "I have an Internet Addiction.""I'm self-employed and need the Internet for my work, but I'm failing to accomplish my work,to take care of my home, to give attention to my children," she wrote in a message sent to the group."I have no money or insurance to get professional help; I can't even pay my mortgage (抵押贷款) and face losing everything."Since then, Toebe said, she has kept her promise to herself to cut back on her Internet use. "I have a boyfriend now, and I'm not interested in online dating," she said by phone last week. "It's a lot better now."注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

2010年6月大学英语四级考试答案及解析
2010年6月大学英语四级考试答案及解析作文参考(A)Nowadays, students attach less importance to the spelling of words in the process of English study. This phenomenon greatly influences students’ writing and brings on worries among teachers.There are possibly three reasons contributing to this phenomenon. First, exam-oriented education makes the students pay less attention to spelling. Second, some teachers should also be responsible for it because they don’t emphasize the importance of spelling during teaching. Last but not least, some students are too lazy to recite words.Since spelling is one of the most important factors in English study, due attention should be given to it. As for me, I think, first, exams should be modified to add some factors into it, which would help students pay more attention to spelling. Then, schools should also set effective mechanisms to help teachers as well as the students to realize the importance. Finally, for students themselves, they can, through other ways, make them be interested in word spelling. Only by these can we surly realize the importance of spelling and make improvement.(B)What is hot for 2010 in our colleges? It is the spelling mistakes. Countless students lack due attention to spelling. Taking a look around, we can find examples too numerous to list, the one may be “challenge”. Freshman and sophomore almost write this word as “challenge”. How careless they are!Why such a phenomenon sweeps every university? Some experts attribute it to students’ inattention, because students always pay no attention to spelling. However, other experts argue,the teachers should be blamed for this situation. In my opinion, it is far beyond any reasonable doubt that both of them should exert themselves to change the spelling mistakes.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.快速阅读1.

Part I作文2010年6月大学英语四级真题答案及解析完整版——作文范文四级作文范文参考：Due Attention Should Be Given to Spelling1．如今不少学生在英语学习中不重视拼写2．出现这种现象的原因3．我认为……（措施）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 to word-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.四级作文解析：（昂立阿古琳娜）此次四级作文仍是考的热点话题现象，此前在我们昂立的课堂上一直向四级考生强调该种类型议论文的重要性。

Everyone arrived on time, and Alex ?s prese ntati on went extremely well. He decided to end the meeti ng with the con versati on about the importa nee of the district man agers to the compa ny?s pla ns. "I believe we are going to continue to in crease our share of the market, "he began, “ because of the quality of the people in this room. Thedistrict manager is the key to the success of the sales representatives in his district. He sets the term for every one else. If he has ambitious goals and is willi ng to put in long hours, every one in his unit will follow his example. " When Alex wasfinished, he received polite applauses, but hardly the warm response he had hoped for. Later he spoke with one of the senior managers. “ Things were going sowell until the end " , Alex said disappointedly. “ Obviously, I said the wrong thing. “ Yes" , the district manager replied. “ Half of our managers are women. Most have worked their way up from sales represe ntatives, and they are very proud of the role they played in the compa ny?s growth. They don?t care at all about polit icalcorrect ness. But they were defi nitely surprised and distressed to be referred to as ,he? in your speech. "Q26 Who did Alex Gordo n speak to at the first meet ing?Q27 What did Alex want to emphasize at the end of his prese ntati on?Q28 What do we lear n about the audie nee at the meeti ng?Q29 Why did Alex fail to receive the warm resp onse he had hoped for?Passage 2The way to compla in is to act bus in ess-like and importa nt. If your compla int is immediate, suppose you gotthe wrong order at a restaura nt, make a polite but firm request to see the man ager. Whe n the man ager comes, ask his or her n ame. And the n state your problem and what you expect to have done about it. Bepolite! Shouti ng or acting rude will get you no where. But also be firm in making your compla int. Besides, act importa nt. This does n?t mean to put on airs and say you know who I am? ” What it means is that people“do are ofte n treated the way they expect to be treated. If you act like some one who expects a fair request to begra nted, cha nces are it will be gran ted. The worst way to compla in is over theteleph one. You are speak ing to a voice coming from some one you cannot see. So you can?t tell how thepers on on the line is react in g. It is easy for that pers on to give you the run-around. Complai ning in pers onor by letter is gen erally moreeffective. If your compla int does n?t require an immediate resp on se, it ofte n helps to complain by letter. Ifyou have an appliance that doesn?t work, send a letter tothe store that sold it. Be bus in ess-like and stick to the point. Don?t spe nd a paragraph on how your uncleJohn tried to fix the problem and couldn?t.Q30 What does the speaker suggest you do whe n you are not served properly at a restaura nt?Q31 Why does the speaker say the worst way to compla in is over the telepho ne?Q32 What should you do if you make a complaint by letter?Passage 3Barbara Sanders is a wife and the mother of two children, ages 2 and 4. Herhusba nd, Tom, is an engin eer and makes an excelle nt salary. Before Barbara had childre n, she worked asan architect for the gover nment, desig ning gover nment hous ing. She quit her job whe n she became preg nant, but is now in terested in returni ng to work. She's bee n offered an excelle nt job with the gover nment.Her husba nd feels it's unn ecessary for her to work since the family does not n eed the added in come. Healso thinks that a woma n should stay home with her childre n.If Barbara feels the n eed to do socially importa nt work, he thinks that she shoulddo volunteer work one or two days a week. Barbara, on the other hand, hasmissed the excitement of her profession and does not feel she would be satisfied doing volun teer work. She would also like to have her own in come, so she does not have to ask her husba nd for money whe never she wants to buy someth ing. She does not think it's n ecessary to stay home every day with the childre n and she knows a very reliable babysitter who's willing to come to her house. Tom does not think a babysitter canreplace a mother and thinks it's a bad idea for the childre n to spe nd so much time with some one who's notpart of the family.Q33 What was Barbara's professi on before she had childre n?Q34 What does Barbara's husba nd suggest she do if she wants to work?Q35 What does Tom think about hiri ng a babysitter?Section CAlmost every child, on the first day he sets foot in the school building, is smarter, more curious , less afraid of what he does n't know, better at finding and figuri ng things out, more con fide nt, resourceful, persiste nt and in depe ndent, tha n he will either be aga in in his schooli ng or, uni ess he is very unu sual and very lucky, for the rest of his life.Already, by pay ing close atte nti on to and in teract ing with the world and people around him, and without any school-type formal in struct ion, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated and abstract tha n anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years-he has solved themystery of Ian guage. He has discovered it. Babies don't even know that Ian guage exists.And he has found out how it works and learnt to use it appropriately. He has done it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing his own model of the grammar of Ian guage, by trying it out and see ing whether it works, by gradually cha nging it and refining it until it does work.And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well,in cludi ng many of the con cepts that the schools think only they can teach him, and many that are more complicated tha n the ones they do try to teach him.短对话11.

2010年6月英语四级试卷真题(B卷)
2010年6月英语四级试卷真题（B卷）2010年6月英语四级答案(B卷)作文范文：Due Attention Should Be Given To SpellingCorrect spelling is a basic skill in English study. However, nowadays many students do not pay much attention to it.They have their own reasons for misspelling. First of all, they like an easy way of studying, which causes some omissions and changes in spelling. Second, the teachers might not be very strict in students’ spelling. In China, teachers seem to be more concerned with grammar and vocabulary but not spelling.To change this situation, in my opinion, the teachers and the students should work together. On one hand, the teachers should give more attention to students’ spelling, asking the students to be conscious of the importance of correct spelling from the very beginning of their English study. On the other hand, the students themselves are supposed to be aware that correct spelling is a must in English study.To sum up, correct spelling is so important that both students and the teachers should spare no efforts to achieve correct spelling.快速阅读答案1.

2010年6月英语四级考试真题1及答案
2010年6月英语四级考试真题1及答案Dquestions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Caught in the WebA few months ago, it wasn't unusual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15 hours per day online. She'd wake up early, turn on her laptop and chat on Internet dating sites and instant-messaging programs –leaving her bed for only brief intervals. Her household bills piled up, along with the dishes and dirty laundry, but it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem."I was starting to feel like my whole world was falling apart –kind of slipping into a depression," said Carla. "I knew that if I didn't get off the dating sites, I'd just keep going," detaching (使脱离) herself further from the outside world.Toebe's conclusion: She felt like she was "addicted" to the Internet. She's not alone.Concern about excessive Internet use isn't new. As far back as 1995, articles in medicaljournals and the establishment of a Pennsylvania treatment center for overusers generated interest in the subject. There's still no consensus on how much time online constitutes too much or whether addiction is possible.But as reliance on the Web grows, there are signs that the question is getting more serious attention: Last month, a study published in CNS Spectrums claimed to be the first large-scale look at excessive Internet use. The American Psychiatric Association may consider listing Internet addiction in the next edition of its diagnostic manual. And scores of online discussion boards have popped up on which people discuss negative experiences tied to too much time on the Web."There's no question that there're people who're seriously in trouble because they're overdoing their Internet involvement," said psychiatrist (精神科医生) Ivan Goldberg. Goldberg calls the problem a disorder rather than a true addiction.Jonathan Bishop, a researcher in Wales specializing in online communities, is more skeptical. "The Internet is an environment," he said. "You can't be addicted to the environment." Bishop describes the problem as simply a matter of priorities, which can be solved by encouraging people to prioritize other life goals and plans in place of time spent online.The new CNS Spectrums study was based on results of a nationwide telephone survey of more than 2,500 adults. Like the 2005 survey, this one was conducted by Stanford University researchers.About 6% of respondents reported that "their relationships suffered because of excessive Internet use." About 9% attempted to conceal "nonessential Internet use," and nearly 4% reported feeling "preoccupied by the Internet when offline."About 8% said they used the Internet as a way to escape problems, and almost 14% reported they "found it hard to stay away from the Internet for several days at a time.""The Internet problem is still in its infancy," said Elias Aboujaoude, a Stanford professor. No single online activity is to blame for excessive use, he said. "They're online in chat rooms, checking e-mail, or writing blogs. [The problem is] not limited to porn (色情) or gambling" websites.Excessive Internet use should be defined not by the number of hours spent online but "in terms of losses," said Maressa Orzack, a Harvard University professor. "If it's a loss [where] you're not getting to work, and family relationships are breaking down as a result, then it's too much."Since the early 1990s, several clinics have been established in the U. S. to treat heavy Internet users. They include the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery and the Center for Internet Behavior.The website for Orzack's center lists the following among the psychological symptoms of computer addiction:● Having a sense of well-being (幸福) or excitement while at the computer.● Longing for more and more time at the computer.● Neglect of family and friends.● Feeling empty, depressed or irritable when not at the computer.● Lying to employers and family about activities.● Inability to stop the activity.● Problems w ith school or job.Physical symptoms listed include dry eyes, backaches, skipping meals, poor personal hygiene (卫生) and sleep disturbances.People who struggle with excessive Internet use maybe depressed or have other mood disorders, Orzack said. When she discusses Internet habits with her patients, they often report that being online offers a "sense of belonging, and escape, excitement [and] fun," she said. "Some people say relief…because they find themselves so relaxed."Some parts of the Internet seem to draw people in more than others. Internet gamers spend countless hours competing in games against people from all over the world. One such game, called World of Warcraft, is cited on many sites by posters complaining of a "gaming addiction."Andrew Heidrich, an education network administrator from Sacramento, plays World of Warcraft for about two to four hours every other night, but that's nothing compared with the 40 to 60 hours a week he spent playing online games when he was in college. He cut back only after a full-scale family intervention (干预), in which relatives told him he'd gained weight."There's this whole culture of competition that sucks people in" with online gaming, said Heidrich, now a father of two. "People do it at the expense of everything that was a constant in their lives." Heidrich now visits websites that discuss gaming addiction regularly "to remindmyself to keep my love for online games in check."Toebe also regularly visits a site where posters discuss Internet overuse. In August, when she first realized she had a problem, she posted a message on a Yahoo Internet addiction group with the subject line: "I have an Internet Addiction.""I'm self-employed and need the Internet for my work, but I'm failing to accomplish my work,to take care of my home, to give attention to my children," she wrote in a message sent to the group."I have no money or insurance to get professional help; I can't even pay my mortgage (抵押贷款) and face losing everything."Since then, Toebe said, she has kept her promise to herself to cut back on her Internet use. "I have a boyfriend now, and I'm not interested in online dating," she said by phone last week. "It's a lot better now."注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

Everyone arrived arrived on on on time, time, time, and and and Alex‟s Alex‟s presentation went extremely well. He decided to end the meeting with the conversation about the importance of the district managers to the company‟s plans. “I believe we are going to continue to increase our share of the market,” he began, “because of the quality of the people in this room. The district manager is the key to the success of the sales representatives in his district. He sets the term for everyone else.

Q31 Why does the speaker say the worst way to complain is over the telephone? Q32 What should you do if you make a complaint by letter?

2010年六月大学英语四级答案四级作文：1、如今不少学生在学习中不重视拼写；2、出现这个现象的原因是3、为了改变这种状况，我认为......Due Attention Should Be Given to SpellingThey say “mind breeds physiognomy”, which implies the importance of one’s appearance. Similarly, a correct and neat spelling of a composition can not only reflect a success of the composition but embodie the decent disposition of the writer as well . Unfortunately , a great number of students pay little attention to their spelling though their composition turns out quite good either in content or in logic, thus leaving the teacher in a dilemma whether to give a high score or not.Tracing the reasons hidden behind, we can easily find it is mainly because some students are unaware of the importance of the spelling. In their minds, the content absolutely outweighs the form so the attention to spelling can be pleasantly spared. Objectively speaking, in the examination, the limited time and urgent situation make students have no more effort to care about their spelling and the fact is that they have to write as quickly as possible to finish it on time, leaving some characters vague or incorrect.Just as is said above, spelling, in a sense , mirrors the content, so a direct result of the bad spelling is the low academic score in the exam for it is hard to expect a text full of undistinguishable words to receive a good appreciation. Further, once the habit of lax spelling was formed, in a long run the quality of being negligence could also be gradually shaped, which would undoubtedly exert negative impact for our future work and life.四级听力：对话部分答案：11.
