For each of them there are four choicesmarked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and markthe corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through thecenter.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Interest in pursuing international careers has soared in recent years, enhanced by chronic (长久的) personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their home borders for talent.Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity and initiative. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one-or two-page document describing one‟s educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the corporate (公司) culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to embrace two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place to start.●“Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of …cross-border‟ job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not bean adequate description. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience.”●Pay attention to the resume format you use-chronological or reverse-chronological order. Chronological order means listing your …oldest‟work experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most countries have preferences about which format is most acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronologicalformat.”●If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the recipient (收件人) uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions. For example, university education is often referred to as …tertiary education‟ in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the United States. A reader who is unfamiliar with these variations may assume that your resume contains errors.21. Companies are hiring more foreign employees because ________.A) they find foreign employees are usually more talentedB) they need original ideas from employees hired overseasC) they want to expand their business beyond home bordersD) they have difficulty finding qualified personnel at home22. The author believes that an individual who applies to work overseas ________.A) is usually creative and full of initiativeB) aims to improve his foreign language skillsC) is dissatisfied with his own life at homeD) seeks either his own or his children‟s development23. When it comes to resume writing, it is best to ________.A) take cultural factors into considerationB) learn about the company‟s hiring processC) follow appropriate guidelines for job huntingD) know the employer‟s personal likes and dislikes24. When writing about qualifications, applicants are advised to ________.A) stress their academic potential to impress the decision makerB) give the title of the university degree they have earned at homeC) provide a detailed description of their study and work experiencesD) highlight their keen interest in pursuing a …cross-border‟ career25. According to the author‟s last piece of advice, the applicants should be aware of________.A) the different educational systems in the US and the UKB) the differences between the varieties of EnglishC) the recipient‟s preference with regard to the formatD) the distinctive features of American and British culturesQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Passage TwoEducating girls quite possibly yields a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women‟s education may be unusual territory for economists, but enhancing women‟s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its emphasis on incentives (激励), provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of an education.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else‟s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school-the prophecy (预言) becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.26. The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is ________.A) troublesomeB) labor-savingC) rewardingD) expensive27. By saying “... the prophecy becomes self-fulfilling...” (Lines 45, Para. 2). the authormeans that ________.A) girls will turn out to be less valuable than boysB) girls will be capable of realizing their own dreamsC) girls will eventually find their goals in life beyond reachD) girls will be increasingly discontented with their life at home28. The author believes that a vicious circle can turn into a virtuous circle when________.A) women care more about educationB) girls can gain equal access to educationC) a family has fewer but healthier childrenD) parents can afford their daughters‟ education29. What does the author say about women‟s education?A) It deserves greater attention than other social issues.B) It is now given top priority in many developing countries.C) It will yield greater returns than other known investments.D) It has aroused the interest of a growing number of economists.30. The passage mainly discusses ________.A) unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countriesB) the potential earning power of well-educated womenC) the major contributions of educated women to societyD) the economic and social benefits of educating womenPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for an unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobiliser (锁止器), and a radio signal from a control centre miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a micro-processor and memory, and a GPS (全球定位系统) satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicle‟s engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted.In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. …The pattern of vehicle crime has changed,‟ says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won‟t allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting bold of the owner‟s keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system willsend a signal to an operations centre that it has been stolen. The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal.Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicle‟s movements via the car‟s GPS unit.31. What‟s the function of the remote immobilizer fitted to a car?A) To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief.B) To allow the car to lock automatically when stolen.C) To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops.D) To prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car owner.32. By saying “The pattern of vehicle crime has changed” (Lines 1-2. Para. 3), MartynRandall suggests that ________.A) it takes a longer time for the car thief to do the stealingB) self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theftC) the thief has to make use of computer technologyD) the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old33. What is essential in making a modem car tougher to steal?A) A coded ignition key.B) A unique ID card.C) A special cellphone signal.D) A GPS satellite positioning receiver.34. Why does the tracking system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm tothe operations centre?A) To leave time for the operations centre to give an alarm.B) To keep police informed of the car‟s movements.C) To give the driver time to contact the operations centre.D) To allow for possible errors in the GPS system.35. What will the operations centre do first after receiving an alarm?A) Start the tracking system.B) Contact the car owner.C) Block the car engine.D) Locate the missing car.Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Psychiatrists (精神病专家) who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset in child rearing-older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents‟ biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement b ecomes an unobtainable dream.Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he‟s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he‟s learned that young at heart doesn‟t mean young. Lately he‟s been taking afternoon naps (午睡) to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,”says Metcalf. “You can‟t get away from that.”Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they‟ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they‟ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school,” says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigg er one: “that they won‟t be alive long enough to support and protect their child,” she says.Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband. Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.” Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus on parenting.”36. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing?A) Older parents are often better prepared financially.B) Older parents can take better care of their children.C) Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children.D) Older parents can better balance their resources against children‟s demands.37. What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes anunobtainable dream” (Lines 7-8, Para. 1)?A) They are reluctant to retire when they reach their retirement age.B) They can‟t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.C) They can‟t get full pension unless they work some extra years.D) They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.38. The author gives the example of Henry Metcalf to show that ________.A) older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic childrenB) many people are young in spirit despite their advanced ageC) older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodiesD) taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy39. What‟s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist JoanGalst?A) Approaching of death.B) Slowing down of their pace of life.C) Being laughed at by other people.D) Being mistaken for grandparents.40. What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?A) They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment.B) Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children.C) Not until they had the twins did they feel they had formed a family.D) They believed that children born of older parents would be smarter.Part III Vocabulary (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences it: this part.

2024年6月大学英语四级考试真题第四套全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1University English Test Level 4June, 2024Version 4Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: How to Balance Study and Work. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below:1. 现在大学生不仅要学习还要工作,如何平衡学习和工作?2. 你的做法是?3. 你的看法How to Balance Study and WorkIn today's society, many college students need to balance between study and work, as it becomes increasingly difficult forthem to solely focus on their academic studies. However, finding this balance is crucial to their success and well-being.To balance study and work effectively, students should first prioritize their tasks and set clear goals. By dividing their time between study and work, they can better manage their responsibilities and avoid feeling overwhelmed. Additionally, students should create a schedule that allows them to allocate sufficient time for both academic studies and work commitments. This will help them stay organized and on track towards achieving their goals.In my own experience, I have found that setting priorities and creating a schedule have been instrumental in balancing study and work. By staying organized and disciplined, I have been able to successfully manage my academic workload while also excelling in my job. Moreover, I have learned the importance of self-care and taking breaks when needed to avoid burnout.Overall, balancing study and work requires careful planning and self-discipline. By prioritizing tasks, creating a schedule, and practicing self-care, students can effectively manage their responsibilities and achieve success in both areas. It is important for students to remember that finding this balance is a process that requires continuous effort and adaptability.Part II Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Example:(0) point A.regular B. average C. common D. normalAbraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, is known for many things. He led the country through the Civil War, helped to end (1) and was an advocate for the abolition of slavery. Lincoln was also known for his tall and slim stature, his top hat and, of course, his (2) beard. Lincoln's beard became one of the most iconic looks in American history and, to this day, remains a symbol of his (3) and leadership qualities.Although Lincoln is often associated with his beard, it was not something he always had. In fact, Lincoln only grew a beard after receiving a letter from an (4) who suggested he would look better with one. The 11-year-old girl, Grace Bedell, wrote to Lincoln during the presidential campaign of 1860, advising him to grow a beard to improve his appearance. In response, Lincoln began growing his beard, and by the time he was elected president, he had (5) the full beard that would become his signature look.Lincoln's beard not only changed his appearance but also (6) his image in the eyes of the American people. In an era when beards were not common among politicians, Lincoln's beard helped to set him apart and make him more memorable to voters. His beard became a (7) tool in his political career, helping to shape his identity as a strong and capable leader.In conclusion, Lincoln's beard was not just a facial feature; it was a symbol of his character and leadership. The story of how Lincoln came to grow his beard is a reminder of the power of individual choices and the impact they can have on others.

Studies have shown time and time again that children who are exposed to arts programs perform better in school, have higher test scores, and are more likely to attend college.Despite this knowledge, arts programs in schools are often the first to receive cuts when budgets are tight. School administrators and policymakers often view arts programs as non-essential, focusing instead on core subjects like math and science. This mentality severely limits the opportunities availableto children and deprives them of the numerous benefits that arts education can provide.Arts programs play a crucial role in fostering creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Through visual arts, music, dance, and theater, children are able to explore their creativity and express themselves in ways that may not be possible through traditional subjects. Additionally, arts programs help to develop important skills such as communication, teamwork, and self-confidence, which are essential for success in today's society.Furthermore, arts education has been shown to have a positive impact on students' academic performance. Studies have found that students who participate in arts programs tend to have higher grades, better attendance records, and improved social and emotional development. They are also more likely to excel in other subjects and demonstrate higher levels of creativity and critical thinking.In light of these benefits, it is clear that arts education should be considered a vital part of every child's education. By providing children with access to arts programs, we are not only enriching their lives but also preparing them for success in an increasingly complex and competitive world.Questions:9. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The benefits of arts programs in schoolsB. The impact of arts education on children's academic performanceC. The challenges facing arts programs in schoolsD. The importance of arts education in fostering creativity10. Why do school administrators and policymakers often cut arts programs?A. Because arts programs are non-essentialB. Because arts programs are too expensiveC. Because they believe core subjects are more importantD. Because they do not value arts education11. What skills can children develop through arts programs?A. Reading and writing skillsB. Discipline and obedienceC. Creativity and critical thinkingD. Physical fitness and coordination12. How do arts programs impact students' academic performance?A. They have no impact on academic performanceB. They lead to lower grades and attendance recordsC. They result in higher test scores and better gradesD. They are only beneficial for creative students13. Why is arts education important for children?A. It improves their social skillsB. It fosters creativity and critical thinkingC. It prepares them for collegeD. It is required by most schoolsPart III Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

They’re also expen sive, especially when you factor in the average college student’s limited budget, typically costing hundreds of dollars every semester.But the worst part is that print version of textbooks are constantly undergoing revisions. Many professors require that their students use only the latest versions in the classroom, essentially rendering older texts unusable. For students, it means they’re basically stuck with a four pound paper-weight that they can’t sell back.Which is why digital textbooks, if they live up to their promise, could help ease many of these shortcomings. But till now, they’ve been something like a mirage(幻影)in the distance, more like a hazy(模糊的)dream than an actual reality. Imagine the promise: Carrying all your textbooks in a 1.3 pound iPad? It sounds almost too good to be true.But there are a few pilot schools already making the transition(过渡)over to digital books. Universities like Cornell and Brown have jumped onboard. And one medical program at the University of California, Irvine, gave their entire class iPads with which to download textbooks just last year.But not all were eager to jump aboard.“People were tired of using the iPad textbook besides using it for reading,” says Kalpit Shah, who will be going into his second year at I rvine’s medical program this fall. “They weren’t using it as a source of communication because they couldn’t read or write in it. So a third of the people in my program were using the iPad in class to take notes, the other third were using laptops and the last third were using paper and pencil.”The reason it hasn’t caught on yet, he tells me, is that the functionality of e-edition textbooks is incredibly limited, and some students just aren’t motivated to learn new study behavior.But a new application called Inkling might change all that. The company just released an updated version last week, and it’ll be utilized in over 50 undergraduate and graduate classrooms this coming school year.“Digital textbooks are not going to catch on,” says Inkling CEO Matt Maclnnis as he’s giving me a demo(演示)over coffee. “What I mean by that is the current perspective of the digital textbook is it’s an exact copy of the print book. There’s Course Smart, etc., these guys who take any image of the page and put it on a screen. If that’s how we’re defining digital textbooks, there’s no hope of that becoming a mainstream product.”He calls Inkling a platform for publishers to build rich multimedia content from the ground up, with a heavy emphasis on real-world functionality. The traditional textbook merely serves as a skeleton.At first glance Inkling is an impressive experience. After swiping(敲击)into the iPad app (应用软件), which you can get for free here, he opens up a few different types of textbooks.Up first is a chemistry book. The boot time is pretty fast, and he navigates through (浏览) afew chapters before swiping into a fully rendered 3D molecule that can be spun around to view its various building blocks. “Publishers give us all of the source media, artwork, videos,” he says, “We help them think through how to actually build something for this platform.”Next he pulls up a music composition textbook, complete with playable demos. It’s a learning experience that attacks you from multiple sensory directions. It’s clear why this would be something a music major would love.But the most exciting part about Inkling, to me, is its notation(批注)system. Here’s how it works!When you purchase a used print book, it comes with its previous owner’s highlights and notes in the margins. It uses the experience of someone who already went through the class to help improve your reading (how much you trust each notation is obviously up to you).But with lnkling, you can highlight a piece of content and make notes. Here’s where things get interesting, though: If a particularly important passage is highlighted by multiple lnkling users, that information is stored on the cloud and is available for anyone reading the same textbook to come across. That means users have access to notes from not only their classmates and Facebook friends, but anyone who purchased the book across the country. The best comments are then sorted democratically by a voting system, meaning that your social learning experience is shared with the best and brightest thinkers.As a bonus, professors can even chime in (插话) on discussions. They’ll be able to answer the questions of students who are in their class directly via the interactive book.Of course, Inkling addresses several of the other shortcomings in traditional print as well. Textbook versions are constanly updated, motivating publishers by minimizing production costs (the big ones like McGraw-Hill are already onboard). Furthermore, students will be able to purchase sections of the text instead of buying the whole thing, with individual chapters costing as little as $2.99.There are, however, challenges.“It takes efforts to build each book,” Maclnnis tells me. And it’s clear why.Each interactive textbook is a media-heavy experience built from the ground up, and you can tell that it takes a respectable amount of manpower to put together each one.For now the app is also iPad-exclusive, and though a few of these educational institutions are giving the hardware away for free, for other students who don’t have such a luxury it’s an added layer of cost — and an expensive one at that.But this much is clear. The traditional textbook model is and has been broken for quite some time. Whether digitally interactive ones like Inkling actually take off or not remains to be seen, and we probably won’t have a definite answer for the next few years.However the solution to any problem begins with a step in a direction. And at least for now, that hazy mirage in the distance? A little more tangible (可触摸的), a little less of a dream.1. The biggest problem with traditional print textbooks is that _____. A)A) they are not reused once a new edition comes outB) they cost hundreds of dollars every semesterC) they are too heavy to carry aroundD) they take a longer time to revise2. What does the author say about digital textbooks?A) It’s not likely they will replace traditional textbooks.B) Th ey haven’t fixed all the shortcomings of print books.C) Very few of them are available in the market.D) Many people still have difficulty using them.3. According to Kalpit Shah, some students still use paper and pencil because _____.A) they find it troublesome to take notes with an iPadB) they are unwilling to change their study behaviorC) they have get tired of reading on the iPadD) they are not used to reading on the screen4. Inkling CEO Matt Maclnnis explains that the problem with Co urse Smart’s current digital textbooks is that _____.A) they have to be revised repeatedlyB) they are inconvenient to use in classC) they are different from most mainstream productsD) they are no more than print versions put on a screen5. Matt Maclnnis describes the updated version of lnkling as _____.A) a good example of the mainstream productsB) a marvelous product of many creative ideasC) a platform for building multimedia contentD) a mere skeleton of traditional textbooks6. The author is most excited about lnkling’s notation system because one can_____.A) share his learning experience with the best and brightest thinkersB) participate in discussions with classmates and Facebook friendsC) vote for the best learners democraticallyD) store information on the cloud7. One additional advantage of the interactive digital textbook is that _____.A) students can switch to different discussions at any pointB) students can download relevant critical commentsC) professors can join in students’ online discussionsD) professors can give prompt feedback to students’ homework8. One of the challenges to build an interactive digital textbook from the ground up is that is takesa great deal of _____.9.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Junk food is everywhere. We’re eating way too much of it. Most of us know what we’re doing and yet we do it anyway.So here’s a suggestion offered by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lesson from alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is sold and how it’s displayed?“Many policy measures to control obesity(肥胖症)assume that people consciously and rationally choose what and how much they eat and therefore focus on providing information and more access to healthier foods,” note the two researchers.“In contrast,” the researchers continue, “many regulations that don’t assume people make rational choices have been successfully applied to control alcohol, a substance — like food — of which immoderate consumption leads to serious health problems.”The research references studies of people’s behavior with food and alcohol and results of alcohol restrictions, and then lists five regulations that the researchers think might be promising if applied to junk foods. Among them:Density restrictions: licenses to sell alcohol aren’t handed out unplanned to all comers but are allotted(分配)based on the number of places in an area that already sell alcohol. These make alcohol less easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to drink.Similarly, the researchers say, being presented with junk food stimulates our desire to eat it. So why not limit the density of food outlets, particularly ones that sell food rich in empty calories? And why not limit sale of food in places that aren’t primarily food stores?Display and sales restrictions: California has a rule prohibiting alcohol displays near the cash registers in ga s stations, and in most places you can’t buy alcohol at drive-through facilities. At supermarkets, food companies pay to have their wares in places where they’re easily seen. One could remove junk food to the back of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines. The other measures include restricting portion sizes, taxing and prohibiting special price deals for junk foods, and placing warning labels on the products.57. What does the author say about junk food?A) People should be educated not to eat too much.B) It is widely consumed despite its ill reputation.C) Its temptation is too strong for people to resist.D) It causes more harm than is generally realized.58. What do the Rand researchers think of many of the policy measures to control obesity?A) They should be implemented effectively.B) They provide misleading information.C) They are based on wrong assumptions.D) They help people make rational choices.59. Why do policymakers of alcohol control place density restrictions?A) Few people are able to resist alcohol’s temptations.B) There are already too many stores selling alcohol.C) Drinking strong alcohol can cause social problems.D) Easy access leads to customers’ over-consumption.60. What is the purpose of California’s rule about alcohol display in gas stations?A) To effectively limit the density of alcohol outlets.B) To help drivers to give up the habit of drinking.C) To prevent possible traffic jams in nearby areas.D) To get alcohol out of drivers’ immediate sight.61.

Decades ago, Kodak anticipated that digital photography would overtake film — and in fact, Kodak invented the first digital camera in 1975 — but in a fateful decision, the company chose to shelf its new discovery to focus on its traditional film business.It wasn’t that Kodak was blind to the future, said Rebecca Henderson, a professor at Harvard Business School, but rather that it failed to execute on a strategy to confront it. By the time the company realized its mistake, it was too late.Kodak is an example of a firm that was very much aware that they had to adapt, and spent a lot of money trying to do so, but ultimately failed. Large companies have a difficult time switching into new markets because there is a temptation to put existing assets into the new businesses.Although Kodak anticipated the inevitable rise of digital photography, its corporate(企业的)culture was too rooted in the successes of the past for it to make the clean break necessary to fully embrace the future. They were a company stuck in time. Their history was so important to them. Now their history has become a liability.Kodak’s downfall over the last several decades was dramatic. In 1976, the company commanded 90% of the market for photographic film and 85% of the market for cameras. But the 1980s brought new competition from Japanese film company Fuji Photo, which undermined Kodak by offerin g lower prices for film and photo supplies. Kodak’s decision not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was a major miscalculation. The bid went instead to Fuji, which exploited its sponsorship to win a permanent foothold in the marketplace.62. What do we learn about Kodak?A) It went bankrupt all of a sudden.B) It is approaching its downfall.C) It initiated the digital revolution in the film industry.D) It is playing a dominant role in the film market.63. Why does the author mention Kodak’s invention of the first digital camera?A) To show its early attempt to reinvent itself.B) To show its effort to overcome complacency.C) To show its quick adaptation to the digital revolution.D) To show its will to compete with Japan’s Fuji photo.64. Why do large companies have difficulty switching to new markets?A) They find it costly to give up their existing assets.B) They tend to be slow in confronting new challenges.C) They are unwilling to invest in new technology.D) They are deeply stuck in their glorious past.65. What does the author say Kodak’s history has become?A) A burden.B) A mirror.C) A joke.D) A challenge.66. What was Kodak’s fatal mistake?A) Its blind faith in traditional photography.B) Its failure to see Fuji photo’s emergence.C) Its refusal to sponsor the 1984 Olympics.D) Its overconfidence in its corporate culture.Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

2013年6月四级真题仔细阅读部分Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)Section ADirections:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.Walking, if you do it vigorously enough, is the overall best exercise for regular physical activity. It requires no equipment, everyone knows how to do it and it carries the 47 risk of injury. The human body is designed to walk. You can walk in parks or along a river or in your neighborhood. To get 48 benefit from walking, aim for 45 minutes a day, an average of five days a week.Strength training is another important 49 of physical activity. Its purpose is to build and 50 bone and muscle mass, both of which shrink with age. In general, you will want to do strength training two or three days a week, 51 recovery days between sessions.Finally, flexibility and balance training are 52 important as the body ages. Aches and pains are high on the list of complaints in old age. The result of constant muscle tension and stiffness of joints, many of them are 53 , and simple flexibility training can 54 these by making muscles stronger and keeping joints lubricated (润滑). Some of this you do whenever you stretch. If you watch dogs and cats, you’ll get an idea of how natural it is. The general55 is simple: whenever the body has been in one position for a while, it is good to 56 stretch it in an opposite position.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Junk food is everywhere. We’re eating way too much of it. Most of us know what we’re doing and yet we do it anyway.So here’s a suggestion offered by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lesson from alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is sold and how it’s displayed?“Many policy measures to control obesity(肥胖症)assume that people consciously and rationally choose what and how much they eat and therefore focus on providing information and more access to healthier foods,” note the two researchers.“In contrast,” the researchers continue, “many regulations that don’t assume people make rational choices have been successfully applied to control alcohol, a substance — like food — of which immoderate consumption leads to serious health problems.”The re search references studies of people’s behavior with food and alcohol and results of alcohol restrictions, and then lists five regulations that the researchers think might be promising if applied to junk foods. Among them:Density restrictions: licenses to sell alcohol aren’t handed out unplanned to all comers but are allotted(分配)based on the number of places in an area that already sell alcohol. These make alcohol less easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to drink.Similarly, the researchers say, being presented with junk food stimulates our desire to eat it. So why not limit the density of food outlets, particularly ones that sell food rich in empty calories? And why not limit sale of food in places that aren’t primarily food stores?Display and sales restrictions: California has a rule prohibiting alcohol displays near the cash registers in gas stations, and in most places you can’t buy alcohol at drive-through facilities. At supermarkets, food companies pay to have their wares in plac es where they’re easily seen. One could remove junk food to the back of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines. The other measures include restricting portion sizes, taxing and prohibiting special price deals for junk foods, and placing warning labels on the products.57. What does the author say about junk food?A) People should be educated not to eat too much.B) It is widely consumed despite its ill reputation.C) Its temptation is too strong for people to resist.D) It causes more harm than is generally realized.58. What do the Rand researchers think of many of the policy measures to control obesity?A) They should be implemented effectively.B) They provide misleading information.C) They are based on wrong assumptions.D) They help people make rational choices.59. Why do policymakers of alcohol control place density restrictions?A) Few people are able to resist alcohol’s temptations.B) There are already too many stores selling alcohol.C) Drinking strong alcohol can cause social problems.D) Easy access leads to customers’ over-consumption.60. What is the purpose of California’s rule about alcohol display in gas stations?A) To effectively limit the density of alcohol outlets.B) To help drivers to give up the habit of drinking.C) To prevent possible traffic jams in nearby areas.D) To get alcohol out of drivers’ immediate sight.61. What is the general guideline the Rand researchers suggest about junk food control?A) Guiding people to make rational choices about food.B) Enhancing people’s awareness of their own health.C) Borrowing ideas from alcohol control measures.D) Resorting to economic, legal and psychological means.Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Kodak’s dec ision to file for bankruptcy(破产)protection is a sad, though not unexpected,turning point for a leading American corporation that pioneered consumer photography and dominated the film market for decades, but ultimately failed to adapt to the digital revolution.Although many attribute Kodak’s downfall to “complacency(自满) ,” that explanation doesn’t acknow-ledge the lengths to which the company went to reinvent itself.

' It w ould take another w a r before the federal g overnment w ould act on a national hig hw a y sy stem. During WorldWar Il ,a trem endous increase in trucks and new roads w ere required. The w a r demonstrated how critical hig hw a ys w ere to the defense effort. Thirteen per cent of defense plants received a l l their supplies by truck, and a lmost a l lotherplants shipped more than half of their products by vehicle. The w a r a lso revealed that local control of hig hw ay s had ledto a confusing variety of desig n standards. Even federal and state hig hw ay s did not follow basic standards.

Consider the many geographic, features of the country: mountains, steep grades, wetlands, rivers, deserts and plains. Variables included the slope of the land, the ability of the pavement to support the load. Innovative, designs of roadways, tunnels, bridges, overpasses, and interchanges that could run through or bypass urban areas soon began to weave their way across the country, forever altering the face of American.Long-span, segmented-concrete, cable-stayed bridges such as Hale Boggs in Louisiana and the Sunshine Skyway in Florida ,and remarkable tunnels like Fort Mchenry in Maryland and Mr. baker in Washington developed under the nation's physical challenges, Traffic control systems and methods of construction developed under the interstate program soon influenced highway construction around the world, and were invaluable in improving the condition of urban streets and traffic patterns.Today the interstate system links every major city in the U.S, and the U.S with Canada and Mexico. Built with safety in mind the highways have wide lanes and shoulders, dividing medians, or barriers, long entry and exit lanes, our engineered for safe turns, and limited access. The death rate on highways is half that of all other U.S roads (0.86 deaths per 100 million passenger miles compared to 1.99 deaths per 100 million on all other roads)By opening the North American continent, highways have enabled consumer goods and services to reach people in remote and rural areas of jobs, access to the growth options in terms of jobs access to cultural programs health care, and other benefits. Above all, the interstate system provides individu als with what they enrich most: personal freedom of mobility.The interstate system has been an essential element of the nation's economic growth in terms of shipping and job creation: more than 75 percent of the nation's freight deliveries arrive by truck. And most products that arrive by rail or air use interstates for the last leg of the journey by vehicle.Not only has the highway system affected the American economy by providing shipping routes, it has led to the growth of spin-off industries like service stations ,motels, restaurants, and shopping centers. It has allowed the relocation of manufacturing plants and other industries from urban areas to rural.By the end of the century there was an immense network of paved roads, residential streets, expressways, and freeways built to support millions of vehicles. The high way system was officially renamed for Eisenhower to honor his vision and leadership. The year construction began he said: "Together, the united forces of our communication and transportation systems are dynamic elements in the very name we bear -United States. Without them, we would be a mere alliance of many separate parts."1. National standards for paved roads were in place by 1921.2. General Eisenhower felt that the broad German motorways made more sense than the two-lane highways of America.3. It was in the 1950s that the American government finally took action to build a national highway system.5. In spite of safety considerations, the death rate on interstate highways is still higher than that of other American roads.6.

The first study to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails. The fact that emails are automatically recorded-and can come back to haunt(困扰)you appears to be the key to the finding.Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, Mew York, asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation foe each medium .He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 per cent of instant messages,27 per cent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 per cent of phone calls.His resolves to be presented at the conference on human-computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surprised psychologists. Some expected e-mailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable, the detachment(非直接接触)of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of communication.But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether it occurs in real time. People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account, he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.People are also more likely to lie in real time in a instant message or phone call say-than if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock. He fond many lies are spontaneous(脱口而出的)responses to an unexpected demand, such as:“Do you like my dress?"Hancock hopes his research will help companies work our the best ways for their employees to communicate. For instance, the phone might be the best medium foe sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth. But, given his result, work assessment where honesty is a priority, might be best done using email.57.Hancock's study focuses on ____________.A)the consequences of lying in various communications’ media.B)the success of communications technologies in conveying ideas.C)people are less likely to lie in instant messages.D)people 's honesty levels across a range of communications media.58.Hancock's research finding surprised those who believed that________________.A)people are less likely to lie in instant messages. B)people are unlikely to lie in face-to-face interactions.C)people are most likely to lie in email communication D)People are twice as likely to lie in phone conversations.59. According to the passage, why are people more likely to tell the truth through certain media of communication?A)They are afraid of leaving behind traces of their lies. B)They believe that honesty is the best policy.C)They tend to be relaxed when using those media. D)They are most practiced at those forms of communication.60. According to Hancock the telephone is a preferable medium for promoting sales because____________.A)Salesmen can talk directly to their customers. B)Salesmen may feel less restrained to exaggerate.C)Salesmen can impress customers as being trustworthy. D)Salesmen may pass on instant messages effectively.61. It can be inferred from the passage that_____________.A)Honesty should be encouraged in interpersonal communicationsB)more employers will use emails to communicate with their employeesC)suitable media should be chosen for different communication purposesD) email is now the dominant medium of communication within a company.Passage TwoIn a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to come to work and live here? In the wake of the Sept.11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing.On December .11,2001,as part of the effort to increase homeland security ,federal and local authorities in 14 states staged "Operation Safe Travel" -raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification(身份证明).In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests. But those captured were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South American .Authorities said the undocumented worker's illegal status made them open to blank mall(讹诈)by terrorists Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods.Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent. “We’re saying we want you to work in these places, we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are, and then when it's convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept.11, then you’re disposable There are whole fami lies being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons,” Anderson said.If Sept.11 had never happened the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America, probably indefinitely .Ana Castro, a ,manager at a Ben & J erry’s ice cream shop at the airport had been working 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid. Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation(驱逐出境)。

四级考试词汇评点
洛基英语,中国在线英语教育领导品牌相比上次考试,即2008年6月的词汇部分,本次考试应该说难度并没有超过预期,虽然在新四级考试中词汇单选题将销声匿迹,但通过分析本次词汇考试,我们可以在一定程度上洞悉在新四级考试中完形和改错的命题方向。
一对词汇量要求的提高除了46题考察情态动词,其他29题全部考察词和词组的辨析及搭配,其中是难词辨析和形近词辨析共16题。
从2003年开始,四级考试词汇部分命题十分明显地传达了这样一个信息:考试对考生词汇量的要求越来越高,不仅这部分考题比例明显增加,所涉及词汇的难度也呈上升趋势。
如47题Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on July 4, 1826, the fifth ________ of American Independence.A ceremonyB anniversaryC occasionD occurrence该题中不仅涉及的词汇相当复杂,其中难词anniversary更是作为正确答案出现,这在近10年的四级词汇考试中是从未有过的。
另外,词汇辨析部分对词汇掌握的要求也从了解词义向更高层次发展。
如45题My Grandfather had always taken a _____ interest in my work, and I had equal admiration for the stories of his time.A weightyB vagueC keenD splendid (选C)从本题可以看出,对于keen,考点已经从较为常见的词组be keen on/about 转移到 a keen interest, 这是一个在英文新闻通讯和正式文稿中比较常用的一个表达,将其纳入四级词汇考点说明四级考试对考生英语应用能力的要求正在向高层次发展。
二考点重复率依然相当可观通过分析本次四级词汇考试命题,我们不得不再次提醒各位考生,一定要认真对待历年真题。

测试研究Serial No.702014No.3大学英语四级考试真题的词貌特征———基于2006年6月-2013年6月大学英语四级考试真题的统计与分析周加林1(肇庆学院外国语学院,广东肇庆526061)摘要:我国教育部高等教育司2007年颁布的《大学英语课程教学要求》所附带的《大学英语参考词汇表》以及《大学英语积极词汇表》是大学公共英语词汇教学的重要指南。
本研究使用电脑软件对自2006年6月至2013年6月的19套大学英语四级考试真题进行统计和分析,探究四级考试真题的词汇与这两份词汇表的相关度,并研究各真题在词汇的数量、词汇密度、使用跨度和使用频率等方面的应用特征。
其研究结果与相关数据对大学公共英语的词汇教学和应对大学英语四级考试都具有一定的参考价值。
关键词:大学英语四级考试真题;词汇;统计与分析1周加林,讲师,学士,研究方向:英语词汇学、英语教学法1.研究背景我国教育部高等教育司2007年颁布的《大学英语课程教学要求》(以下简称《课程要求》)中所附带的《大学英语参考词汇表》以及《大学英语积极词汇表》,对非英语专业的本科大学生在词汇量上提出了“一般”、“较高”和“更高”三个层面的要求。
该词汇表的“一般要求”还提出了非英语专业的本科大学生在英语词汇量上应掌握《大学英语参考词汇表》中的4795个单词,其中包含《大学英语积极词汇表》2360个“积极词汇”中的2000个单词。
这一指标被业界认为是应对大学英语四级考试的必备词汇,即俗称的“四级词汇”。
多年来,针对大学英语四级考试所做的研究成果众多,而关于“四级词汇”的研究相对较少。
在“中国知网”(CNKI )期刊论文数据库以及维普中文科技期刊数据库的检索结果中共发现:自2000年至2013年,已发表在各类学术期刊上与“四级词汇”研究相关的论文约有39篇。
从论文内容看,这些研究的主要成果大部分与“四级词汇”的记忆、教学以及测试相关。
其中,与四级词汇教学策略相关的论文有12篇,与四级词汇记忆相关的论文有7篇,与四级词汇测试的相关论文也为7篇,其他研究论文13篇,基于使用电脑软件对大学英语四级考试真题中词汇的实际使用情况进行统计分析的研究并不多见。
在“中国知网”论文数据库以及维普中文科技期刊数据库的检索结果中发现曾有刘巧萍、魏小平在《大学英语四级考试词汇分析》一文中对2001—2004年的8套四级考试真题进行过分析研究,该研究表明“四级词汇”在各次四级考试中的覆盖率都很高。
覆盖率最低为84.6%,最高达到了88.9%(刘巧萍,魏小平,2005)。
另有李冬曾撰文对1990年至2010年20年期间的大学英语四级考试词汇做了回顾性分析(李冬,2013)。
此外暂未发现有其他研究者对2006年6月至2013年6月的四级考试真题中的词汇分布以及应用情况做出过统计与研究。
基于上述原因,本研究通过使用电脑软件对2006年6月至2013年6月的19套四级考试真题进行统计,探究自2006年6月至2013年6月的19套大学英语四级考试真题中的词汇是否与《课程要求》所指定的四级词汇以及积极词汇相关,本研究还统计了19套四级考试真题词汇的数量、词汇密度、使用跨度、使用频率,并用表格与文字对研究结果加以说明。
2.研究设计2.1研究的对象本研究的研究对象为2006年6月至2013年6月15次大学英语四级考试的真题,共19套(大学英语四级考试为每年两次,每次一套试题。
但自2012年12月起,为了防止日益猖獗的考试作弊,考试方采取了“多题多卷”的模式,因此在2012年12月和2013年6月的四级考试中分别同时使用了3套试题。
故自2006年6月至2013年6月的四级考试真题共计为19套)。
为了确保研究的有效性,所有真题的数据在统计前均做了必要的处理:各真题中的中文字、阿拉伯数字、一些特殊的符号、中英文的人名以及用汉语拼音标注的地名等均被删除。
听力部分的词汇是四级考试的重要组成部分,所以各套真题中听力考试的原文均被输入到统计材料中。
另外考虑到真题中19篇命题作文的范文可能会有众多版本,故本研究没有将作文范文中可能会包含的词汇列入到统计数据中。
2.2研究的问题本研究主要回答以下四个问题:1)19套四级考试真题中的词汇应用呈何种特征?真题的词汇是否与《课程要求》所规定的“四级词汇”相关?在试题中是否存在“非四级词汇”(以下简称“超纲词汇”)?2)《课程要求》规定的“积极词汇”在19套真题中得到何种程度的应用?3)19套四级考试真题呈现怎样的词汇应用跨度特点?4)19套四级考试真题呈现怎样的词汇使用频率特点?2.3研究的工具、方法与过程1)本研究采用的电脑软件是由新西兰维多利亚大学语言学与应用语言学院的Paul Nation以及Averil Coxhead教授设计,由Alex Heatley编程的免费软件Range。
该软件可通过使用系统自带的、或者是研究人员自制的基础词汇表(Baseword Lists)来分析文本中的词汇情况;可统计出基础词汇表单词在文本中出现的频率(frequency)、单词在不同文本中的使用跨度(range)、还可统计文本材料中的形符(token)数量(形符,指文本中所有出现过的单词,包括重复出现的单词)、类符(type)数量(类符,指文本中不重复的单词)以及词族(word family)数量(词族,指所有同属曲折形式和派生形式的单词)。
此外,Range还可计算文本的类符/形符比(Type-token ratio)。
类符/形符比,简称TTR,是衡量文本词汇密度(lexical density)的一个标准,也是衡量文本词汇使用丰富性的指标之一。
除了以上功能,Range还可以列出文本中所出现的基础词汇表以外的单词。
2)本研究采用两套基础词汇表,第一套基础词表由研究者参照《课程要求》规定非英语专业本科大学生按“一般要求”必须掌握的最基本的4795个“四级词汇”制作而成,该基础词表被放入电脑软件Range中作为统计试题文本的长度、词汇密度以及词汇数量的基准。
另一套基础词表根据《课程要求》中所附带的《大学英语积极词汇表》中的2360个积极词汇制作而成,用于在Range软件中统计分析积极词汇在大学英语四级真题中的应用特征。
3)本研究使用电脑软件Range对19套经过有效处理的大学英语四级考试真题进行逐一以及综合的统计分析,从得出的数据中分析自2006年6月至2013年6月期间四级考试真题的词貌概况。
4)使用Range对19套四级真题中的词汇使用跨度和频率进行了统计与分析。
3.结果与讨论3.119套真题的词貌概况通过使用电脑软件Range对2006年6月至2013年6月的19套四级真题中所使用的词汇的数量进行统计与分析,得出表1数据。

每套真题的类符总数在1520至1670之间,说明试题在词汇量上的要求并不算太高。
19套四级真题的类符/形符比(TTR)也大致相同,基本保持在25%左右。
TTR指数反映出文本的词汇密度及其文本词汇的丰富性(lexical richness),TTR指数越高,说明文本的词汇越丰富。
词汇的密度越大,文本的难度就越大,对读者在词汇量上的要求就越高。
Ure是最早开始研究词汇密度的学者之一,Ure(1971)的研究成果认为书面篇章(written text)的词汇密度会在40%以上,而口语篇章(spoken text)的词汇密度在40%以下。
19套大学英语四级考试真题的词汇密度均保持在25%左右,首先说明考试文本的难度一般,文本的内容属于口语篇章以及非专业性的一般性题材。
其次,这样的数据也说明试题的设计符合《课程要求》对非英语专业的本科大学生在英语能力上所提出的听懂“一般性题材”的讲座,读懂“一般性题材”的文章的“一般要求”。
19套真题在文本长度、词汇密度以及“四级词汇”表内词汇与“超纲词汇”的比例上大致相等,也说明自2006年6月至2013年6月的大学英语四级考试的难度相对稳定。
2)在19套四级真题中,《课程要求》中的“一般要求”词汇(即“四级词汇”)约占试题词汇总量的86%,说明“四级词汇”在真题中的覆盖率比较高,四级真题与“四级词汇”具有显著关联。
考生必须认真学习掌握《课程要求》所指定的、属于“一般要求”范围内的词汇,才有可能较好地应对大学英语四级考试。
另外,每次考试都会出现约14%非四级词汇表内的单词,即“超纲词汇”。
这一数据提示考生不但要掌握好《课程要求》里所指定的“四级词汇”,而且还需要适当扩大自己的词汇量才能取得优异的考试成绩。
