I wonder if I should visit a doctor.W: Well, it could be due to muscle injuries. To play it safe, I think you should.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?12.M: Thomas is always late when we have a meeting. Maybe one of us should give him a ring each time.W: That’s really annoying. But I’ll volunteer.Q: What will the woman probably do?13.M: The restaurant doesn’t seem to be making ends meet this year. Don’t you think so?W: Yes, but there’s no competitor along this street. So it’s probably worthwhile to keep it running.Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?14.M: Would you like to drink another cup of tea?W: I’d be overdoing it if I had one more.Q: What does the woman mean?15.M: Will you be able to give me the report by tomorrow?W: Well, it still takes time to estimate the budget.

The part-time web designer was not as good as what we had thought before. She informed us just now that she could not complete this task.W: Well, didn’t you talk with her about what she should do at the beginning?M: Not really. She was recommended by Jason and from what he told me, she sounded to be pretty qualified to do the job. I’m not asking for a terrific web design but to build up a structure with all the basic elements of web design.W: Did you ask her why she wasn’t frank with you in the beginning if she couldn’t do the BBS？M: I did. But she said it was a communication problem.W: So now what do you plan to do since she got the job half done?M: On one side, I will not pay her full fees since she wasn’t honest with me in the beginning. On the other side, I have to search around for another guy to complete the job.W: Agreed. That should also teach her a lesson. For us, I think we had better turn to our Part-time Job Center for help. There, we can get a professional to work at it.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. Why hasn’t the website been completed?20. What was the website designer not honest about?21. How did the man deal with the dishonest website designer?22. What does the woman suggest about the following steps to be taken?Conversation TwoM: Look at all the equipment here. They must be used for some kind of sport.W: You are right. They are for climbing mountains. Have you ever tried that before?M: No, never, have you?W: Almost for two years.M: Two years? Wow! What was it like the first time?W: Well, you’ve got to take it step by step even though you are anxious to do certain indoor practice at first.M: Isn’t it a bit dangerous? I heard that a 20-year-old colleague student lost his life when climbing the cliff the other day.W: Yes, it does happen from time to time, most often by people who just trywhen they are not yet ready for any risk.M: Are there any climbing clubs for freshmen to join then?W: Yes, for sure. But you need time to pick out the best one. Nowadays, too many of these climbing clubs are too eager to initiate trips without checking properly the skill levels of the climbers.M: Well, anyway, Katrina, thanks for your kind suggestion. I have to leave for class now.W: My pleasure. See you then.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. Where did the conversation probably take place?24. According to the woman, why do most climbing accidents occur?25. What is important for freshmen to do before climbing?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneStress comes in all shapes and sizes and it’s hard to get through a day without hearing or reading something about stress. Some doctors refer to stress as some kind of new plague. However, numerous surveys confirm that the problem has been progressively serious since the 1980s. Stress is an unavoidable consequence of life. Without stress, there could be no life. However, just as distress can cause disease, there are good stresses that offset this, and promote wellness. Increased stress results in increased productivity – up to a point. However, this level differs for each of us. We all need to find the proper level of stress that promotes optimal performance. Good health is more than just the absence of illness. Rather, it is a very robust state of physical and emotional well being that acknowledges the importance and inseparability of mind and body relationships. Later, in the nextprogram, I hope you will join me in the pursuit of learning how to harness stress, so that it can work for you and make you more productive.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What aspect of stress is the talk mainly about?27. How can we deal with stress according to the doctor?28. What will the doctor do in the next program?Passage TwoMany people think that sitting is easier on their backs than standing or lifting. Not true. People whose jobs require them to sit for long periods of time suffer as much from back pain as people who lift all day long. Many world-class researchers believe that the huge increase in back pain over the past couple of decades – and it is huge – has a lot to do with the fact that more and more of us are spending our work days in chairs. A lot of people have the notion that, if their back pain gets bad enough, they can always resort to surgery. Nothing could be further from the truth. The amount of pain someone has has very little to do with whether or not he or she would benefit from surgery. One British researcher has estimated that for every 10,000 people who experience back pain, only four need surgery. Not very many years ago, back pain patients were routinely put to bed, sometimes for weeks or months. No longer. Two or three days of bed-rest is now the norm. After that, people are advised to return to their normal activities, gradually if necessary. The reasons for the 180°shift are interesting. For starters, if you stay in bed, your muscle strength can decline by as much as three percent a day.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. What misunderstanding about back pain do people hold in the beginning?30. What role does surgery play in curing back pain?31. Why don’t back pain patients get put to bed for more than two or three days?Passage ThreeNo one knows who made the first ice cream. Some people think that water ices and milk ices may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and fourthousand years ago. In time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, may have passed on the secret to the Arabs and the Persians. The Persians called their dish sharbat, from which our word sherbet comes. Marco Polo, an Italian who traveled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular, first in Venice and then throughout Italy. In 1533, when Catherine de Medici left Italy to marry the future Kind Henry Ⅱof France, she took her cooks with her. They made desserts the French had never tasted before. Among them was “ice cream”. For each day of the wedding festivities Catherine’s cooks prepared a different flavor of her favorite dessert - “ice cream”. At first ice cream was a luxury in France. Only rich people had the money to buy it. Then, in 1660, a young man from Sicily, Francisco Procopio, arrived in Paris. He opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could afford. Procopio’s “ice cream parlor” became so popular that other shops were opened. About 1640, King CharlesⅠintroduced ice cream to England. He had heard it was the rage in Italy and France. He served ice cream for dessert at a banquet. The surprise dish was a great success. The king ordered his cook to keep the recipe for ice cream a secret. Charles felt that only royalty should be served the dessert. But the secret soon leaked out. Ice cream quickly became the rage in England too.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. What is the passage mainly about?33. According to the passage, who made the first ice cream?34. When did ice cream become popular in Italy?35. Why did Charles order his cook to keep the recipe for ice cream a secret?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main pointsin your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.The Romans built great “aqueducts” to carry fresh water from the mountains to the cities. Many of these aqueducts are still standing today. The Roman (36) Emperors even set up a (37) government health service. They built the first great public hospitals in Europe, and they paid doctors to look after poor people.When the Roman Empire fell to pieces, these (38) civilized methods of treatment (39) disappeared from most of Europe, for more than a thousand years. People went back to the old ways. They lived in dirty conditions, which helped to cause diseases; and they asked God to cure the (40) diseases. They shut up (41) mentally sick people in prisons. Or they burnt them alive because they were supposed to have (42) magic powers. But the work of the Greek and Roman doctors was not lost.Over a thousand years ago, the Arabs moved into many of the (43) Mediterranean countries. They took big parts of the old Roman lands. (44) They translated the Greek and Roman medical books into Arabic. Arab doctors themselves made many new discoveries.(45) When civilization at last came back to Europe, men once again translated the Greek and Roman works on medicine into Latin. Slowly, European doctors discovered again the things that the Greeks and Romans had known so long ago. (46) Slowly, they began to make new discoveries and found out more about the way the body works.。

During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B)，C) and D), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.11. W: Look at the monkeys and zebras around therocks.M: Yes, their environment seems to suit them very well. Let’s go over and see the bears now.Q: Where are the man and woman?12.

It’ll be heavy in certain places.Q: What is the weather forecast?15. M: This cake’s delicious! Did you make it yourself?W: You must be kidding!

M: The telegram just came from Mary. She will arrive at 2 o’clock.W: Oh, good. She can rest a few hours before the concert.Q: What can Mary do before the concert?Now you’ll hear two long conversations.Conversation OneW: Could you tell me how big a class is?M: In this department, a class could be as small as 5 students or as large as over 200. The largest classes are lecture classes, usually in introductory courses at the undergraduate level. The normal size of a class is 20 to 40 students who meet 3times a week for about one hour or twice a week for about one hour and a half.W: In what forms are classes given?M: Generally speaking, classes are given in three formats---lectures, seminars and laboratory work. Lecture courses usually include two lecture sessions and one discussion group per week. Lectures are given by professors who will talk on specific topic for one class period. Students have little chance to ask questions. Discussions are conducted by postgraduates and provide the opportunity for questions about the lecture topics.W: How about seminars?M: Seminars involve a small group of students and place more responsibility on them.

The seminar challenges students’reasoning and organizing abilities.W: And laboratory work?M: Laboratory work gives students opportunities to develop their skills with the use of certain tools or sophisticated lab equipment and to improve their labtechniques.W: They all sound interesting to me.

I’m doing okay, but school has been really hard these days, and I haven’t had time to relax.W: By the way, what’s your major anyway?M: Hotel management.W: Well, what do you want to do after you graduate?M: Uh... I haven’t decided for sure, but I think I’d like to work for a hotel or travel agency in this area. How about you?W: Well, when I first started college, I wanted to major in French, but I realized I might have a hard time finding a job using the language, so I changed to computer science. With the right skills, landing a job in the computer industry shouldn’t be as difficult.M: So do you have a part-time job to support yourself through school?W: Well, fortunately for me, I received a four-year academic scholarship that pays for all of my tuition and books.M: Wow, that’s great.W: Yeah. How about you? Are you working your way through school?M: Yeah. I work three times a week all at a restaurant near campus.W: Oh.

At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OneIn phone booths in the U. S., there are usually directions for using the telephone. All phone numbers haveseven digits, though letters and numbers are sometimes used in combination. There may be phonebooks or directories under the telephone.There are two main kinds of long distance calls:dial-direct and operator-assisted. You can make dial direct calls in most parts of the U.S. Look in the white page directory for long distance rates or more information on making long distance calls. Or you can call the operator for help. If you need a phone number that is not in your phone book, call Directory Assistance.To make a long distance call, you’ll need to know the three-digit area code. Dial 1 plus the area code plus the number, and an operator or a computer voice will tell you how much money to deposit. On operator assisted calls, the operator will ask you to deposit more money before your time is up. On dial-direct calls you’ll be cut off at the end of the time you paid for unless you put more money in the slot.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What do all telephone numbers have?27. What should you do to make a long distance call?28. What can you find in the white pages of atelephone book?Passage TwoMost people think that the older you get, the harder it is to learn a new language. That is why they believe that children learn more easily than adults. Thus, at some point in our lives, maybe around age twelve or thirteen we lose the ability to learn language well. Is it true that children learn a foreign language more easily than adults? One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish, showed that the teenagers learned more, in less time, than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed that the ability to learn a language increases as the age increases from childhood to adulthood. There are several possible explanations for these results. For one thing, adults know more about the world and therefore are able to understand meanings more easily than children. Moreover, adults can use logical thinking to help themselves in learning a new language. Finally adults have more self-control than children.Therefore, it seems that the common belief that children are better learners than adults may not be true.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. According to this talk, what’s the common belief about learning a new language?30. Name the two reports mentioned in the talk.31. What qualities do adults have that make learning a new language easier for them?Passage ThreeToday I would like to continue our discussion of American diplomatic history of the 18th century by talking about the pioneer named William Johnson. Sir William Johnson helped to establish friendly relations between the British colonists and the Iroquois nation during the middle of the 18th century. Johnson came to New York State from England in 1737 and soon became a large land-holder. He got along well with the Iroquois. Some of them lived on his land and it became a center of trade. Johnson sought land and furs, but was generous to his neighbors. With his skill of a diplomat Johnson often spent time negotiating among the various Indian groups. Largely because of his work the Iroquois aided the British in their struggles against the French in 1756. Later, however, there was a disagreement with the Iroquois. Johnson, who had been an official in the colonial government, was called in to negotiate a treaty regarding land boundary between theIroquois and the English and French settlers in the area. Since Johnson died in 1774 he did not have to face the turmoil of the American Revolution.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. What is the main topic of the lecture?33. Where was Johnson born?34. What was the treaty with the Iroquois about?35. When did Johnson die?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered form 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.In November 1965, New York was blacked out by anelectricity failure. The (36) authorities promised that it would not happen again. Pessimists were certain that it would occur again within five years at the latest. In July 1977, there was a repeat performance which (37) produced varying degrees of chaos throughout the city of eight million people. In 1965, the failure occurred in the cool autumn and at a time of (38) comparative prosperity. In 1977, the disaster was much more serious because it came when unemployment was high and the city was suffering from one of its worst heat waves.In 1965, there was little crime or looting during the darkness, and fewer than a hundred people were (39) arrested. In 1977, hundreds of stores were broken into and looted. Looters (40) smashed shop windows and helped themselves to (41) jewelry, clothes or television sets. Nearly 4,000 people were arrested but far more (42) disappeared into the darkness of the night. The number of policemen available was quite (43) inadequate and they wisely refrained from using their guns against mobs (44) which far outnumbered them and included armed men.Hospitals had to treat hundreds of people cut by glass from shop windows. Banks and most businesses remained closed the next day. (45) The blackout started at 9:30 p. m.,when lightning hit and knocked out vital cables. Many stores were thus caught by surprise.The vast majority of New Yorkers, however, were not involved in looting. (46) They helped strangers, distributed candles and batteries, and tried to survive in a nightmare world without traffic lights, refrigerators, elevators, water and electrical power. For twenty-four hours, New York realized how helpless it was without electricity.【《。

下面，我们来对比分析一下三套模拟试题与真题的异同之处：模拟一：Should Children Be Taken Care of at Home?1. Some people think children should be taken care of at home by their parents;2. Others argue that it would be good for them if they were sent to the kindergarten;3. What’s your opinion?参考范文：Should Children Be Taken Care of at Home?There has been a heated discussion about whether of not children should be taken care of at home by their parents.Some people argue that taking care of children at home has a number of advantages. Firstly, parents may be able to provide a more practical education for their children than kindergartens. Secondly, home is likely to provide a more relaxed atmosphere than any other place. Besides, parents can keep their children from negative influences.Many other people, however, insist that children should be sent to the kindergarten. First, in kindergartens children are given more opportunities to develop in a social context and become accustomed to communicating with peers independently. Next, kindergartens offer professional trained teachers and all kinds of educational facilities from which children can benefit.In my opinion, I believe that children should be taken care of in kindergartens instead of being educated at home. Only in this way can both children and parents get benefits, as parents are able to advance their careers; at the same time, children will get better education, learn to be independent and solve problems by themselves.模拟二：Should Parents Live with Their Adult Children?Some people think that when people become old, they often feel very lonely; therefore, adult children should live with their parents. Do you agree with this opinion?参考范文：Should Parents Live with Their Adult Children?One of the topics of daily life is whether or not older people should live with their adultchildren. My answer for this question is that it is better for them not to do so.Firstly, people of different ages have different ways of living. Many old people like a quiet, peaceful and regular life whereas the young prefer noisy and unrestrained enjoyment. Secondly, people of different generations have different views and values. When they live together, they may disagree with each other on matters ranging from minor domestic matters to national and international issues. Consequently, family life may be unpleasant or even unbearable to both the old and the young. Last but not least, adult children, like their parents, love independence and freedom, but their parents still take them as children and unintentionally interfere in their affairs. The situation could be worse if the children are already married. For old people’s interference, many couples may have conflicts every day, even leading to a divorce.From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that if the parents and their adult children do not live together, both the old and the young enjoy complete independence and freedom, lead a life they like and keep their affections for each other.模拟三：NEET Group Phenomenon1. 社会上出现“啃老族”：已经成年、有劳动能力的年轻人，仍依靠父母供养。

《英语周报》英语四级考试听力模拟试题五English Weekly CET-4 Listening Practice Test ⅩⅣPart III Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B)， C) and D), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.11.W: Look at the monkeys and zebras around the rocks.M: Yes, their environment seems to suit them very well. Let’s go over and see the bears now.Q: Where are the man and woman?12.W: I promised my sister I would attend the show if I didn’t have work due the next day.M: Why not take me along?Q: Why will the woman go to the show?13.M: I’d like to go sailing, but sometimes I get scared on the water. How long would we be out?W: Not too long. And besides, we’ll be close to the shore the whole time.Q: What is the man afraid of?14. W: It’s nearly ten o’clock. Let’s listen to the weather forecast.M: Here’s the weather forecast. Fog is spreading from the east and will affectall areas by midnight. It’ll be heavy in certain places.Q: What is the weather forecast?15.M: This cake’s delicious! Did you make it yourself?W: You must be kidding! My sister got it from the bakery.Q: What does the woman mean?16.W: I’m worried about those classes I missed when I was sick.M: I’ll try to bring you up to date on what we’ve done.Q: What does the man mean?17.W: Roger, your voice teacher called to ask why you were not at practice for your concert program.M: I was there but I was standing with a large group and he didn’t see me.Q: Why did the teacher not see Roger at the practice?18.M: The telegram just came from Mary. She will arrive at 2 o’clock.W: Oh, good. She can rest a few hours before the concert.Q: What can Mary do before the concert?Now you’ll hear two long conversations.Conversation OneW: Could you tell me how big a class is?M: In this department, a class could be as small as 5 students or as large as over 200. The largest classes are lecture classes, usually in introductory courses at the undergraduate level. The normal size of a class is 20 to 40 students who meet 3 times a week for about one hour or twice a week for about one hour and a half.W: In what forms are classes given?M: Generally speaking, classes are given in three formats---lectures, seminars and laboratory work. Lecture courses usually include two lecture sessions and one discussion group per week. Lectures are given by professors who will talkon specific topic for one class period. Students have little chance to ask questions. Discussions are conducted by postgraduates and provide the opportunity for questions about the lecture topics.W: How about seminars?M: Seminars involve a small group of students and place more responsibility on them. The professor leading a seminar may assign projects, post questions, make suggestions or describe specific cases that demand a solution. Students are free to exchange their ideas. The seminar challenges students’ reasoning and organizing abilities.W: And laboratory work?M: Laboratory work gives students opportunities to develop their skills with the use of certain tools or sophisticated lab equipment and to improve their lab techniques.W: They all sound interesting to me. Do you know how we’re assessed?M: Some professors give quizzes or short examinations during the course to test on a particular aspect of the subject. Other course examinations are mid-term exams and final exams, which include multiple-choice questions, short answer questions and essay questions. Research papers are another form of examination. Have I made myself clear to you?W: Yes. I understand now. Thank you. Dr. Wilson.M: You’re welcome.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. Which of the following is true of a big class?20. What can be learnt from this dialogue about the course formats?21. Which of the following is true about the professors’ evaluation of students’ work?Conversation TwoM: Oh, hi, Maria, long time no see! How have you been?W: Oh, not bad. And you?M: Oh. I’m doing okay, but school has been really hard these days, and Ihaven’t had time to relax.W: By the way, what’s your major anyway?M: Hotel management.W: Well, what do you want to do after you graduate?M: Uh... I haven’t decided for sure, but I think I’d like to work for a hotel or travel agency in this area. How about you?W: Well, when I first started college, I wanted to major in French, but I realized I might have a hard time finding a job using the language, so I changed to computer science. With the right skills, landing a job in the computer industry shouldn’t be as difficult.M: So do you have a part-time job to support yourself through school?W: Well, fortunately for me, I received a four-year academic scholarship that pays for all of my tuition and books.M: Wow, that’s great.W: Yeah. How about you? Are you working your way through school?M: Yeah. I work three times a week all at a restaurant near campus.W: Oh. What do you do there?M: I’m a cook.W: How do you like your job?M: It’s okay. The other workers are friendly, and the pay isn’t bad.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.22. What does the man want to do after he graduates?23. Why did the woman change her major?24. How does the woman pay for college?25. What can be learnt about the man’s part-time job?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OneIn phone booths in the U. S., there are usually directions for using the telephone. All phone numbers have seven digits, though letters and numbers are sometimes used in combination. There may be phonebooks or directories under the telephone.There are two main kinds of long distance calls: dial-direct and operator-assisted. You can make dial direct calls in most parts of the U.S. Look in the white page directory for long distance rates or more information on making long distance calls. Or you can call the operator for help. If you need a phone number that is not in your phone book, call Directory Assistance.To make a long distance call, you’ll need to know the three-digit area code. Dial 1 plus the area code plus the number, and an operator or a computer voice will tell you how much money to deposit. On operator assisted calls, the operator will ask you to deposit more money before your time is up. On dial-direct calls you’ll be cut off at the end of the time you paid for unless you put more money in the slot.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What do all telephone numbers have?27. What should you do to make a long distance call?28. What can you find in the white pages of a telephone book?Passage TwoMost people think that the older you get, the harder it is to learn a new language. That is why they believe that children learn more easily than adults. Thus, at some point in our lives, maybe around age twelve or thirteen we lose the ability to learn language well. Is it true that children learn a foreign language more easily than adults? One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish, showed that the teenagers learned more, in less time, than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed that the ability to learn a language increases as the age increases from childhood to adulthood. There are several possibleexplanations for these results. For one thing, adults know more about the world and therefore are able to understand meanings more easily than children. Moreover, adults can use logical thinking to help themselves in learning a new language. Finally adults have more self-control than children.Therefore, it seems that the common belief that children are better learners than adults may not be true.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. According to this talk, what’s the common belief about learning a new language?30. Name the two reports mentioned in the talk.31. What qualities do adults have that make learning a new language easier for them?Passage ThreeToday I would like to continue our discussion of American diplomatic history of the 18th century by talking about the pioneer named William Johnson. Sir William Johnson helped to establish friendly relations between the British colonists and the Iroquois nation during the middle of the 18th century. Johnson came to New York State from England in 1737 and soon became a large land-holder. He got along well with the Iroquois. Some of them lived on his land and it became a center of trade. Johnson sought land and furs, but was generous to his neighbors. With his skill of a diplomat Johnson often spent time negotiating among the various Indian groups. Largely because of his work the Iroquois aided the British in their struggles against the French in 1756. Later, however, there was a disagreement with the Iroquois. Johnson, who had been an official in the colonial government, was called in to negotiate a treaty regarding land boundary between the Iroquois and the English and French settlers in the area. Since Johnson died in 1774 he did not have to face the turmoil of the American Revolution.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. What is the main topic of the lecture?33. Where was Johnson born?34. What was the treaty with the Iroquois about?35. When did Johnson die?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered form 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.In November 1965, New York was blacked out by an electricity failure. The (36) authorities promised that it would not happen again. Pessimists were certain that it would occur again within five years at the latest. In July 1977, there was a repeat performance which (37) produced varying degrees of chaos throughout the city of eight million people. In 1965, the failure occurred in the cool autumn and at a time of (38) comparative prosperity. In 1977, the disaster was much more serious because it came when unemployment was high and the city was suffering from one of its worst heat waves.In 1965, there was little crime or looting during the darkness, and fewer than a hundred people were (39) arrested. In 1977, hundreds of stores were broken into and looted. Looters (40) smashed shop windows and helped themselves to (41) jewelry, clothes or television sets. Nearly 4,000 people were arrested but far more (42) disappeared into the darkness of the night. The number of policemen available was quite (43) inadequate and they wisely refrained from using their guns against mobs (44) which far outnumbered them and included armed men.Hospitals had to treat hundreds of people cut by glass from shop windows. Banks and most businesses remained closed the next day. (45) The blackout started at 9:30 p. m., when lightning hit and knocked out vital cables. Many stores were thus caught by surprise.The vast majority of New Yorkers, however, were not involved in looting. (46) They helped strangers, distributed candles and batteries, and tried to survive in a nightmare world without traffic lights, refrigerators, elevators, water and electrical power. For twenty-four hours, New York realized how helpless it was without electricity.。

英语周报2019仿真试题英语周报第四期周报第四期AIn 1995,Sunsan Boyle went to Glasgow to audition (试演) for My Kind of People, a televised talent show popular in the UK. She was nervous during the audition, and felt she didn’t perform well, but her pother said that she was rejected because of her plain looks. Boyle was not discouraged and continued to sing at church and at the karaoke nights in a local pub.Boyle suffered a personal loss in 1997, when her father passed away. After his death, Boyle put her big dreams on hold to care for her sick mother Bridget Susan ’s possible fame. Bridget Boyle encouraged her daughter to take part in singing petition. “She was the one who said I should enter Britain’s Got Talent. We used to watch it together, ” Susan later told reporters. “She thought I would win. ”In 1999,Boyle used all of her savings to pay for a professional demo （样本唱片）tape, which she sent to recordpanies. In xx, Boyle began taking singing lessons from voice coach Fred O’Neil.In xx,Boyle’s mother passed away at the age of 91.A neighbor reported that when Bridget Boyle died, her daughter “wouldn ’t e out for three of four days or answer the door or phone”. She lived alone with her cat, Pebbles. For over a year, she refused to sing. But in August of xx, O’Neil urged her to try out for Britain ’s Got Talent. Convinced that the performance would be an honor to her mother, Boyle auditioned in Glasgow, Scotland. She sang I Dreamed A Dream, a hit song from the musical Les Miserables （《悲惨世界》），in the first round of the show, which was aired on 11 April xx.The 47-year-old Scottish woman’s plain looks provided a sharp contrast （对比）to her powerfully beautiful voice. The performance astonished the audience and the judges. Online videos of her performance totaled over 40 million views within a week.

Just 28% of rare birds have decreased over the same period, pared with four out of every 10 mon birds. The rare birds described in the assessment with increasing populations include the osprey （鹗）and corncrake (秧鸡).All of these birds are subject to conservation action.The declining mon birds include the nightingale, swift （雨燕），house sparrow and red grouse （苏格兰雷鸟）.These are suffering declines for a variety of reasons, including changes in farming practices.Dr David Noble, from the British Trust for Ornithology, said: “That some of our rarer birds have responded to targeted conservation action is great news. It shows just what can be achieved. What we need to do now is to continue the good work and use some of the lessons we have learned to help our more mon birds.”Dr Mark Avery, the conservation director of the Royal Society for the Protection of Bird(RSPB),said: “Over the last decade we’ve enjoyed some great conservation species from the World Conservation Union’s Red List of Threatened Animals and increasing the populations of red kite, osprey, etc. However, these suesses are countered （抵消） by continued declines of some widespread species.”The overview of xx native birds has been produced by a group of conservation organizations, to mark the publication of The State of the UK ’s Birds report, whichis in its 10 year. The report was published by the RSPB for a group of conservation organizations.31. Which of the following is TRUE aording to the passage?A.

Half of mon birds have decreased in the past ten years in the UK.32.

Which of the following can best explain Dr Mark Avery’s words?A. The UK should not be satisfied with what they have achieved.B. The UK should share their experience with other countries.C. What conservation organizations do is far from satisfactory.D. The RSPB is responsible for the decrease of mon birds.34. The passage is most likely to be found in a book about______.A. pupular scienceB. historical eventsC. natureD. society35. The author’s purpose of writing this article is to tell people_____.A. some good ways to protect rare birdsB. the differences between rare birds and mon birdsC. the number of rare birds has increased over the last decadeD. some widespread birds in the UK are in great need of helpthCThere is a joke among flu researchers: “If you ’ve seen one flu season, you ’ve seen one flu season. ” The joke is about the unpredictable nature of the flu virus. Every year itlooks different, and every strain (类型) follows its own pattern-it ’s the reason why new strains like H1N1 are extremely difficult to predict.Dr. Michael Osterholm is a former adviser to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. “I know less about influenza today than I did 10 years ago,” he says in a joking away. “Every stone we’ve turned over, we get more questions.”The flu returns every season and the world experiences terrible pandemics (全国或全世界范围流行的疾病), but researchers still do not understand why some strains infect people and others do not, they are not entirely sure about how the flu is transmitted; nor do they understand why some patients bee seriously ill while others develop mild symptoms (症状). As a result, when a new strain shows up-like H1N1-they often have little information to fall back on, and the lessons of previouspandemics are only somewhat helpful. While researchers are still putting together a plete picture of H1N1, for example,its most striking difference from the seasonal flu is that the elderly are not the most vulnerable (易受攻击的)population.Influenza ’s unpredictable nature makes it a moving target for researchers, say researcher Allison Aiello at the University of Michigan. “Even if we had plete seasonal flu data from the past, it wouldn’t be much helpful for a new strain of influenza,”she explains.While researchers are frustrated by the the holes in their knowledge, they say, however, that the public-health munity is generally doing a very good job responding to H1N1 with seasons flu data that do exist. Studying influenza, say Osterholm , is “like looking through the windows of house you can ’t get into because the door is locked.” Gathering the data researchers do have is like “looking through the windows to get a pretty good picture of what the inside looks like.”One thing researchers do know for sure: the best way for people to protect against H1N1 is to get the vaine once it bees available to them.36. What do we learn about H1N1 from the passage?A. In fact it is not a kind of influenza virus.B. Its pattern is followed by other strains.C. Old people are more likely to contract it thanD. Receiving vaines will be effective to protect against it.37. H1N1 flu can be described as all the following EXCEPT_____.A. unpredictableB. pandemicC. transmittableD. movable38. The underlined phrase “fall back on” in Para.3 probably means____.A. rely onB. pass onC. collectD. exchange39. What do we know about previous seasonal flu data?A. It is useless to study them.B. It is still necessary to study them.C. They are misleading most of the time.D. They are much more helpful than expected.40. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A. Outpeaks of the fluB. Symptoms of the fluC. Mysteries of the fluD. Risks of the fluDFor most of us, the rain that falls on our roof runs off into the ground of the sewer (下水道)system. But if you want to save a little water and reuse it on yourlawns （草坪）or plants-or even use it for laundry, dishes, or other needs-collecting rainwater from your gutters ’downspouts（檐槽的水落管）is a no-painer.Aording to John C. David, writing in E/The Environmental Magazine, just about any homeowner can collect rainwater, given that the roof and gutters do most of the work. And since an inch of rain falling on a 2,000-square-foot roof produces some 1,200 gallons of water, you can harvest enough to water your lawn or garden.Plants and grass actually do better when fed rainwater instead of tap water, which is usually treated with substances that can hold back plant growth. Using rainwater can also extend the life of pipes, since the salts added to tap water may gradually damage the pipes. However, homeowners should set up a water purification (净化) system if they do plan to use rainwater for inside needs. Rainwater harvesting can also be good for the local munity, as it reduces the erosion, flooding, and pollution associated with heavy rainfall, and reduces dependence on public water systems in their local munities.Many varieties of rain barrel (桶) systems, starting at just $100, are available for home use. A typical setup is simply a rain barrel positioned under a gutter’s downspout. Skillful homeowners can make their own water harvesting systems, butbuying one is a lot easier. Most garden centers offer a range of choices as well as tips.41. The underlined word “no-painer ” in Para.1 probably means something that___.A. is very easyB. is hard to deal withC. deserves more attentionD. is of no real value42. Compared with rainwater, tap water____.A. contains less saltsB. is better for plant growthC. is more likely to damage the pipesD. can make the life of the pipes last longer43. The underlined word “it ” in Para.4 refers to _____.A. heavy rainfallB. water purification systemC. rainwater harvestingD. local munity44. From Para.3, we can learn_____.A. how to set up a water harvesting systemB. how a rain barrel system tap waterC. some advice on saving tap waterD. the benefits of using rainwater45. What is the topic of passage?A. Wastewater treatment systems.B. Roof rainwater collection.C. Water-saving techniques.D. Basic gardening skills.内容仅供参考。

Section B Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B) C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center. Passage One Besides private bills, there are also public bills that must be paid. Public bills are paid for by the government. In turn, we get these services through taxes. What would happen if everyone in the city stopped paying taxes? The water supply would stop. Water might even become unclean and impure. The streets might not be cleaned. There would be no police force to protect people and property. Schools would be closed. People would become sick and diseases might spread. We would not want to live in such a city. We all want pure water and food, clean streets and good schools. We want the police to protect us from crime. The chief duty of every government is to protect persons and property. More than three fourths of the money spent by our government is used for this purpose. The next large amount of public money goes to teach and train our citizens. Billions of dollars each year are spent on schools and libraries. Public money is used to pay the teachers and all the public officials. Also, a large amount of public funds is spent on roads. The greatest part of the needed funds is raised by taxes. Tax is money that we all must pay to support the government. The law orders us to pay taxes. We have no choice in this matter. Almost everyone pays some tax in one form or another. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. How does the government pay for public bills? 27. According to the speaker, what would happen if nobody in the city paid taxes? 28. Which of the following costs the largest amount of public money according to the speaker? Passage Two America’s national symbol, the bald eagle, almost went extinct twenty years ago, but it has made a comeback. In fact, the U.S. Fish and Wild Life Service is considering the possibility of taking it off the Endangered Species List. Once, more than fifty thousand pairs of bald eagles nested across the country, but by 1960 that number had fallen below four hundred. The chief killer was the widely used DDT. Fish soaked up DDT, died, and were washed up on the shores, where bald eagles feasted on them. DDT prevented eagle eggshells from thickening. The shells became so thin that they shattered before the babies hatched. Fortunately, in 1972, a law was passed to ban DDT, which saved the bald eagle from total wipeout. And since then, wild-life biologists have reintroduced bald eagles from Canada to America. The result was that last year, U.S. bird watchers counted eleven thousand six hundred and ten bald eagles in the country. If it were dropped from the Endangered Species List, the bald eagle would still be a threatened species. That means the bird would continue to get the same protection. No hunting allowed, and no disturbing of nests. But bald eagles still face tough times. The destruction of their natural homes could be the next DDT causing eagle numbers to drop quickly. Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. What was the main harmful effect of the pest killer DDT on bald eagles? 30. What measure did wild-life biologists take to increase the number of bald eagles? 31. According to the speaker, what is the possible danger facing bald eagles? Passage Three A few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap, a division between young people and their elders. Parents complained that their children did not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life-styles. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and approve of and often to continue the family occupation. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, and choose occupations different from those of their parents. In our modern society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did; to find better jobs, to make moremoney, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. But often they discover that they have very little in common with each other. Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight. The best way to narrow the gap is that parents and children should be mutually respected. Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 32. What does this passage mainly tell us? 33. Which one is the most important cause of the generation gap? 34. What are children expected to do in a more traditional society? 35. How do we narrow the gap?。
