Part ⅡReading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)Directions:In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Consumer Recycling and Waste Reduction TipsThe following information provides simple tips on how to recycle and reduce waste as a consumer. Grocery StoresMany supermarkets sponsor redemption centers(回收中心)that will buy back California Redemption Value(CRV) containers for recycling and may accept other materials like steel cans, glass jars and newspapers. Some stores have reverse vending machines, which give you money back as CRV containers are fed into them.Many grocery stores in the San Diego area also have a place to recycle used plastic grocery bags and film containers (plastic canisters that package the film):Albertsons (also take newspaper wrappers, dry cleaning bags, or any type of LDPE plastic bag) ·Ralphs·Vons·Wal Mart·Whole Foods MarketAs for the question “Paper or plastic?” why not bring your own reusable cloth shopping bags instead. The cloth bags hold a lot more, so there are fewer trips back and forth from the car and the cloth carrying handles are more comfortable on your hands than paper or plastic handles. Some stores even give a small discount when you bring reusable cloth bags or reuse old shopping bags to carry out your new purchases.Tip: If you bring your own canvas, plastic, or paper bags, be sure to ask the store to credit your bill. Many stores take 5 cents off each bag provided by the customer, even if the store does not recycle plastic bags.And if you buy just one or two items, try going without a bag altogether. The store pays for its bags, which means so do you, and in the end, so does the environment.Dry CleanersMany dry cleaners take back their plastic clothes bags. When you get home and hang up yourclothes, keep the plastic covers and recycle them on your next trip to the dry cleaners—rather than throw them away. Some stores will also reuse clean hangers.Reusing by DonatingThere are many items that even the most active recycler may throw away because they are uncommon recyclables. Some of these items include mattresses, furniture, clothing, appliances, electronics or art materials. They can often be donated to local thrift stores and nonprofit groups to be repaired and reused. Visit , San Diego s resource for thrift stores, second hand, rummage sales, recycling, retro, and more. Plus a calendar of events.Source Reduction—Make It Recyclable and ReusableWhile shopping, you can help the environment by selecting products that use less packaging and are reusable or readily recyclable in your community. When buying a product, stop and think, “Can this item be recycled or reused?” If not, is there an alternati ve brand or product that you can buy? By making these choices, you are using your purchasing power to reward manufacturers that make recyclable and reusable products, not products that are only disposable.Try These Reusable Alternatives:·Use a sponge instead of throwaway wipes·Buy rechargeable batteries·Buy cloth napkins that you can wash instead of paper you throw away·Buy washable plates and cups for picnics instead of disposables·Buy razors with replaceable blades·Seek out reusable or refillable containers that hold shampoo, soap, etc.·Use plastic containers with lids instead of aluminum foil, plastic bags or plastic wrap·Rinse plastic bags and reuse them Buy Products Made of Recycled MaterialsA phone directory featuring local recycled products is available by calling Environmental Services at(858)694 7000. No recycling program is truly successful unless recyclables collected are transformed into marketable products and then purchased by you! To create a demand for recycled products, make sure to purchase products that contain recycled materials. Ask store managers to stock products made with recycled materials and write to the manufacturers of the products you buy and tell them you prefer that they use recycled materials.When shopping, buy those items that say, “made from recycled materials”and have the highest percentage of post consumer recycled content. (Post consumer content means any material that the public has already used or recycled.) California law requires that any consumer goods labeled “Recycled”must contain at least 10% post consumer content. And beware, claims such as “environmentally friendly”, “eco safe”, “safe for the environment”or “natural”do not necessarily mean that the product can be recycled or contains recycled material!Thanks to today s technology and manufacturing, these products are as high a quality as(if not higher than) products that don t contain recycled materials, and they look just as nice. Look for these items for your home or business in your community:·Clothing and shoes·Children s toys and playground equipment·Garden tools·Carpet pads·Plastic lumber for planters, decks and benches·Motor oil·Floors and countertops·Rain gutters·Packaging materials·Paper products like tissue and towels·Cleaning supplies·Writing or computer paper and envelopesYour choices and efforts can make a significant difference in the success of San Diego and our nation s recycling programs! Avoid Excess Packaging and Buy in Bulk(批量购买)While it s true that some packaging is necessary for health and shelf life considerations, all too many manufacturers over package their products. This excess packaging costs consumers more money, costs our environment more resources and energy, and costs our landfills valuable space.So take a little extra care before you buy. Look for an alternative product without packaging or the least amount of packaging and send a message that you don t like waste. Also, avoid single serving items that are overly wrapped.When it makes sense, buy in bulk, but only purchase the amount you will use within a reasonable time. You will avoid over packaging and save money, since larger quantities are generally discounted. Try these alternatives next time you shop:·Large box of cereal vs. individually wrapped snack pack of mini boxes of cereal·Pudding in a box vs. pudding in plastic cups which are then held together by a cardboard carton ·Fresh vegetables you buy by the pound vs. shrink wrapped vegetables in Styrofoam containers ·1 gallon water jugs vs. 6 pack of individual 12 ounce plastic bottles·Condensed can of soup vs. microwavable single portion soups注意:此部分试题在答题卡1上作答;8~10题在答题卡1上。

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C, or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1The Catholic Church is changing in America at its most visible point: the parish church where believers pray, sing and clasp hands across pews to share the peace of God. Today there are fewer parishes and fewer priests than in 1990 and fewer of the nation's 65 million Catholics in those pews. And there's no sign of return.Some blame the explosive 2002 clergy sexual abuse scandal and its financial price tag. But a study of 176 Roman Catholic dioceses shows no statistically significant link between the decline in priests and parishes and the $772 million the church has spent to date on dealing with the scandal.Rather, the changes are driven by a constellation of factors:• Catholics are moving from cities in the Northeast and Midwest to the suburbs, South and Southwest.• Mass attendance has fallen as each generation has become less religiously observant.• Bishops —trained to bless, not to budget —lack the managerial skills to govern multimillion-dollar institutions.All these trends had begun years before the scandal piled on financial pressures to cover settlements, legal costs, care and counseling for victims and abusers. The Archdiocese of Boston, epicenter of the crisis, sold chancery property to cover $85 million in settlements last year, and this year will close 67 churches and recast 16 others as new parishes or worship sites without a full-time priest. Archbishop Sean O'Malley has said the crisis and the reconfiguration plan are "in no way" related. He cites demographic shifts, the priest shortage and aging, crumbling buildings too costly to keep up. Fargo, N.D., which spent $821,000 on the abuse crisis, will close 23 parishes, but it's because the diocese is short more than 50 priests for its 158 parishes, some with fewer than a dozen families attending Mass.They know how this feels in Milwaukee. That archdiocese shuttered about one in five parishes from 1995 to 2003. The city consolidations "gave some people who had been driving back into the city from new homes in the suburbs a chance to say they had no loyalty to a new parish and begin going to one near their home," says Noreen Welte, director of parish planning for the MilwaukeeArchdiocese. "It gave some people who already were mad at the church for one reason or another an excuse to stop going altogether."21. Which of the following reflects the change of Catholic Church ?A. Fewer prayers in the church.B. Fewer pews in the parish.C. Fewer Catholics in AmericaD. Fewer signs in the peace of God22. The relationship between the first two paragraphs can be described as _____________.A. the Catholic Church of the past compared with that of todayB. the problem with the Catholic Church revealed and explainedC. the reform of the Catholic Church argued for and againstD. the practice of the Catholic Church introduced and condemned23. Attendance of the Church has declined because ____________________.A. there are fewer parishes and priests nowB. few Catholics observe religious rulesC. people are losing enthusiasm for religionD. the financial pressures are overwhelming24. T he “reconfiguration plan” (para. 4) probably refers to ___________________.A. selling the Church propertyB. covering the cost of settlementsC. shutting and remolding churchesD. keeping up crumbling buildings25. Noreen Welte seems to suggest that some people ________________________.A. had difficulty adopting a new parishB. preferred to go to the church near their homeC. disliked the church for several reasonsD. meant to escape the churchText 2House-price falls are gathering momentum and are spreading across the UK, according to a monthly poll of surveyors which on Monday delivered its gloomiest reading for nearly 12 years.Fifty-six per cent of surveyors contacted by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors reported price falls in the three months to October. Only 3 per cent saw prices rise in their area, compared with 58 per cent as recently as May.There was further evidence of slowing activity in the property market as the number of sales per surveyor dived to a nine-year low. Unsold stock on agents' books has increased 10 per cent since the summer. Ian Perry, Rics' national housing spokesman, said it was now very clear that buyers were unsettled by higher interest rates.The Bank of England raised rates five times to 4.75 per cent over the last year to cool the property boom.But he also blamed comments by Mervyn King, the Bank's governor, and misleading media headlines for “injecting additional uncertainty into the market by continued speculation over more serious price declines”.“Mervyn King presumably felt that he had to be more explicit in the summer when peoplewere still buying. His warnings of a drop in property prices then have had the desired effect.“But our concern now is that the pendulum is swinging too far,” he said.Last week, the Bank's monetary policy committee predicted for the first time that “house prices may fall modestly for a period” in its November inflation report. The Nationwide and Halifax mortgage lenders both showed a modest monthly decline in house prices in their latest loan approval data.Although the majority of surveyors expect prices to fall further in the next three months, Mr. Perry stressed there were signs of stabilising demand from buyers in London.“London tends to be ahead of the rest of the market. And agents are telling us that more peop le are looking to buy. It is much better than it was,” Mr Perry said.However, falling prices continued to spread from the South of England as surveyors reported the first clear decline in prices in Yorkshire and the Humber, the north and the north-west. Scotland remained the only region with rising prices.26. We learn from the passage that ____________________.A. the present house price falls are at most a momentary phenomenonB. the property market is experiencing its most depressing time over the decadeC. 58 percent of surveyors contacted started to encounter house price falls in MayD. Rics' widely-followed headline indicator began to fall since Dec. 199227. Paragraphs 2 and 3 are written to _______________.A. justify the author’s observation in the first paragraphB. contrast the present situation with that in the pastC. highlight the discouraging situation of home marketD. explain the reasons of slowing activity in the market28. By “the pendulum is swinging too far”, Ian Perry probably means _______________.A. the number of houses sold by each agent is the lowest in historyB. the house market is bound to suffer because of the high interest ratesC. both Mr. King and the media worried too much over the price fallsD. the Bank and the media are helping push the house prices further down29. In terms of the future of the property market, Mr. Perry seems _________________.A. optimisticB. uncertainC. pessimisticD. indifferent30. The author probably believes that ____________________.A. the house-price falls may continue for a whileB. people’s uncertainty about the market is ungroundedC. there was always exception to the rule of rising pricesD. people are certainly ready to buy more than beforeText 3Fiercely independent, 90 year-old Vincenzia Rinaldi wouldn't consider a home health aide or nursing home. So Louis Critelli, her nephew had to coax the widowed homemaker into assisted living, the nation's growing long-term care option for the elderly. For $1,100 a month, Rinaldibecame the reluctant resident of an efficiency unit where she could still simmer her much-loved tomato sauce and where caregivers would make sure she took her pills.Instead, 30 months later, she died. Not because she was old. But because aides at her new home, Loretto Utica Center, one of the modern, hotel-style facilities that have sprouted across the country over the past decade, mistakenly gave her another resident's prescription medication. That error led to her death, state inspectors concluded.Neither the state nor Loretto told her nephew about the cause of death. Critelli, thinking his aunt had been properly cared for, only learned of the finding years later from USA TODAY. "When they find something blatant like that, you'd think they'd tell the family," the shaken nephew told a reporter after a long pause.A USA TODAY investigation shows that Rinaldi's death represents the tragic extreme in a pattern of mistakes and violations that lead to scores of injuries and occasional deaths among the estimated 1 million elderly residents of assisted living facilities. The centers are the state-regulated, largely private-pay residences that help seniors with medication and other activities of daily life.In a wide-ranging analysis, USA TODAY reviewed two years of inspection records within 2000-02 for more than 5,300 assisted living facilities in seven states: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, New York and Texas. The precise time period varied slightly from state to state. The analysis covered a broad range — from mom-and-pop facilities with just a few residents to corporate-run centers with scores of beds and many levels of care. It is the first time such data have been gathered and analyzed across so many states. The review included less-detailed data from five other states and focused on broad quality-of-care categories to compensate for variations in regulations from state to state.As affluent and middle-class Americans cope with the infirmities of age, many turn to assisted living as an alternative to a nursing home industry that has been periodically plagued by abuse or neglect scandals. Even though assisted living facilities generally don't provide 24-hour skilled medical care, they increasingly serve seniors who only a decade ago might have been in nursing homes.31. The first paragraph implies that ___________.A. life in the nursing homes is largely regulated by caregivers.B. old people are very much unsatisfied with life cared by a home health aide.C. Rinaldi knew better than to live in an efficiency unit with caregivers.D. the nation's long-term care options for the elderly are limited.32. Critelli’s response to the real cause of her aunt’s death was ___________________.A. disbeliefB. indignationC. disapprovalD. intensity33. The author mentioned Rinaldi’s death in the text in order to ________________.A. show sympathy for Critelli’s misfortuneB. reveal problems in assisted living facilitiesC. demonstrate inefficiency of caretakersD. exhibit the reliability of USA Today34. It can be inferred from the text that _______________.A. assisted living facilities are mostly state-owned residencesB. USA Today conducted the first inspection of assisted living facilities in USAC. data collected and reviewed are not detailed and regulated enoughD. previous analyses of inspection records covered limited areas35. We learn from the text that _______________.A. nursing home industry will ultimately disappear from the societyB. 24 hour skilled medical care will come into being in the near futureC. assisted living is the first choice for many seniors with a good incomeD. serious problems have always accompanied the assisted living unitsText 4You could benefit from flipping through the pages of I Can't Believe You Asked That, a book by author Phillip Milano that's subtitled, A No-Holds-Barred Q&A About Race, Sex, Religion, and Other Terrifying Topics.For the past seven years, Milano — who describes himself as "a straight, white middle-class married guy raised in an affluent suburb of Chicago" — has operated , a Web site that was created to get us talking. Through the posting of probing, provocative and sometimes simply inane questions and the answers they generate, people are encouraged to have a no-holds-barred exchange on topics across racial, ethnic and cultural lines. More often than not, the questions grow out of our biases and fears and the stereotypes that fuel misunderstanding among us.As with the Web site, Milano hopes his book will be a social and cultural elixir. "The time is right for a new 'culture of curiosity' to begin to unfold, with people finally breaking down the last barrier to improve race and cultural relations" by actually talking to each other about their differences, Milano said in an e-mail message to me. Milano wisely used the Internet to spark these conversations. In seven years, it has generated 50,000 postings — many of them questions that people find hard to ask in a face-to-face exchange with the subjects of their inquiries.But in his book, which was published earlier this month, Milano gives readers an opportunity to read the questions and a mix of answers that made it onto his Web site. "I am curious about what people who have been blind from birth 'see' in their dreams," a 13-year-old boy wanted to know. "Why do so many mentally disabled people have such poor-looking haircuts and 'nerdy' clothes?" a woman asked. "How do African-Americans perceive God?" a white teenager wanted to know. "Do they pray to a white God or a black God?"Like I said, these questions can generate a range of emotions and reactions. But the point of Milano's Web site, and his book, is not to get people mad, but to inform us "about the lives and experiences" of others. Though many of the answers that people offered to the questions posed in his book are conflicting, these responses are balanced by the comments of experts whose responses to the queries also appear in the book.Getting people to openly say what they are thinking about things that give rise to stereotypes and bigotry has never been easy. Most of us save those conversations for gatherings of people who look or think like us.36. The purpose of the website is to ______________.A. give people a chance to speak outB. prepare materials for a bookC. get people exchanging ideas freelyD. solve the social and cultural problems37. The “last barrier” (para. 3) mentioned in Melano’s e-mail refers to ________________.A. the old culture of curiosityB. lack of direct communicationC. racial and cultural relationsD. the differences between people38. The quotations in paragraph 4 are intended to ________________.A. illustrate the questions posted on the websiteB. justify the stereotypes existing in people’s mindsC. indicate different concerns of different groups of peopleD. show the possible emotions and reactions of the readers39. The author’s positive attitude towards Milano’s work is shown in _______________.A. his confirmation of Milano’s hope about his bookB. his explanation of the purpose of Milano’s websiteC. his description of various emotions and responsesD. his quotation of the comments made by the experts40. What is the main idea of this passage ?A. A website narrows the gap between different cultures.B. A final barrier breaks down after continuous efforts.C. A man devotes himself to understanding among people.D. A book of tough questions helps confront stereotypes.Part BDirections:The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order. For questions 41-45, you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list A-G to fill in each numbered box. The first and last paragraphs have been placed for you in boxes. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. ( 10 points )[A] All very traditional. But what about the common complaint that reservations preserve the cultural heritage of Native Americans only at the cost of keeping them away in what are, in effect, poor rural quarters?[B] The county, one of two on the Cheyenne river Indian reservation, has a poverty rate of 49.1%, the highest of any of the 3,141 “counties or county equivalents” in the United States. The reservation covers 2.8m acres of rolling prairie under an expansive sky, yet the homes can be as overcrowded as any city housing project. Agriculture is still the mainstay of the economy. The skyline of Dupree (population 450) is dominated by a grain elevator.[C] In popular opinion, the prosperity of native Americans no longer depends on either land or livestock. Casinos (gambling houses) are meant to be the “new buffalo (cattle in North America)”.According to a 2002 study by William Evans and Julie Topoleski of the University of Maryland, employment rises by an average of 26% in counties that open a casino. But the “new buffalo” on the Cheyenne River reservation are, well, buffalo.[D] But Indians own only about half of the reservation's land. And those acres are themselves only one fragment of the Great Sioux reservation, which in the 19th century spanned both North and South Dakota. In 1877, the Sioux were deprived of the gold-rich Black Hills and in 1889, the remainder of the reservation was dismembered into six parts. The Cheyenne river reservation, one of those six fragments, was destined to become smaller still. It lost more than 100,000 acres beneath the waters of Lake Oahe, a reservoir created in 1962 by the Army Corps of Engineers.[E] The tribe has won recognition from Harvard University for its project to restore the prairie grasslands on which the animals thrive. Its herd of about 2,000 is admired by conservationists and tourists alike. Should they want to take one home with them, visitors can also pay $3,000 for the right to hunt a bull (and another $300 to have it skinned and quartered).[F] The village of Red Scaffold in Ziebach County, South Dakota, can be reached only by laboring through the deep trenches of an unpaved, gravel road. Cars, built for a world of asphalt and white lines, do not have an easy life here. The corners of many housing plots serve as a kind of knacker's yard for broken vehicles.[G] Scholars at Harvard's Project on American Indian Economic Development argue that some of the most successful tribes are actually the most culturally conservative. Tribes that have preserved their native tongue and circumscribed their membership also run better timber ventures and housing projects, says Miriam Jorgensen in a study published in 2000. Tribal languages and “blood quantum” rules—which specify how closely related to the tribe a member must be—serve as useful proxies for the kind of social cohesion necessary for development. Reservations are not ghettos from which the poor must escape, but small, land-locked nations, which must take charge of their own affairs and find a niche in the wider economy. And buffalo tourism is not a bad way to begin.Order:(F)——(41. )——(42. )——(43. )——(44. )——(45. )——(G)Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.

market. it has been 26by fear, and it is creating even more fear as money problems and uncertainty grow. however, at its core is love, and a sacrifice to protect those most 27to the coronavirus(冠状病毒) effects—the elderly, people with compromised immune systems, and those whose life-saving resources would be used up by a 28 epidemic.americans make life-saving decisions every day as a matter of course. we cut food into bite-sized pieces, we wear seatbelts, and we take care not to exceed the speed limit. but social distancing is 29in that it is completely self- sacrificing. those who will benefit may be the elderly relatives of the 30 person w e didn’t pass in starbucks, on the subway, or in the elevator.social distancing is millions of people making hundreds of sacrifices to keep the elderly alive. it doesn’t include the 31to run from society or make an excuse to avoid one’s obligations—such as life-saving medical work or the parental obligation to buy groceries. what it does include is applying lovethrough caution. and in doing so, it offers an 32opportunity for those who care about the elderly to find new ways to love theif we’re no t 33as much in our normal work or school, we have extra time to call parents and grandparents. we can also ask elderly relatives how to best support them 34and use our sacrifices as an opportunity to bring us, our community and the

in this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. you may choose a paragraph more than once. each paragraph is marked with a letter. answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on answer sheet 2.why lifelong learning is the international passport to successa) picture yourself at a college graduation day, with a fresh cohort(一群) of students about to set sail for new horizons. what are they thinking while they throw their caps in the air? what is it with this thin sheet of paperthat makes it so precious? it’s not only the proof of acquired knowledge but plays into the reputation game of where you were trained. being a graduatefrom harvard law school carries that extra glamour, doesn’t it? yet take a closer look, and the diploma is the perfect ending to the modern tragedy of education.b) why? because universities and curricula are designed along the three unities of french classical tragedy: time, action, and place. students meet at the university campus (unity of place) for classes (unity of action) duringtheir 20s (unity of time). this classical model has traditionally produced prestigious universities, but it is now challenged by the digitalisation of society—which allows everybody who is connected to the internet to access learning—and by the need to acquire skills in step with a fast-changing world. u niversities must realise that learning in your 20s won’t be enough. if technological diffusion and implementation develop faster, workers will haveto constantly refresh their skills.c) the university model needs to evolve. it must equip students with the right skills and knowledge to compete in a world ‘where value will be derived largely from human interaction and the ability to invent and interpret things that machines cannot’, as the english futurist richard watson puts it. by teaching foundational knowledge and up-to-date skills, universities willprovide students with the future-proof skills of lifelong learning, not justget them ‘job-ready’.d) some universities already play a critical role in lifelong learning as they want to keep the value of their diplomas. this new role comes with a huge set of challenges, and needs largely to be invented. one way to start this transformation process could be to go beyond the ‘five-year diploma model’to adapt curricula to lifelong learning. we call this model the lifelong passport.e) the bachelor’s degree could be your passport to lifelong learning. for the first few years, students would ‘learn to learn’and get endowed with reasoning skills that remain with them for the rest of their lives. for instance, physics allows you to observe and rationalise the world, but also to integrate observations into models and, sometimes, models into theories orlaws that can be used to make predictions. mathematics is the language used to formulate the laws of physics or economy, and to make rigorous computations that turn into predictions. these two disciplines naturally form the foundational pillars of education in technical universities.f) recent advances in computational methods and data science push us into rethinking science and engineering. computers increasingly become principal actors in leveraging data to formulate questions,which requires radically new ways of reasoning. therefore, a new discipline blending computer science, programming, statistics and machine learning should be added to thetraditional foundational topics of mathematics and physics. these threepillars would allow you to keep learning complex technical subjects all your life because numeracy(计算) is the foundation upon which everything else is eventually built.g) according to this new model, the master of science (msc) would become the first stamp in the lifelong learning journey. the msc curriculum should prepare students for their professional career by allowing them to focus on acquiring practical skills through projects.h) those projects are then interwoven with fast-paced technical modules(模块)learned ‘on-the-fly’and ‘at will’ depending on the nature of the project. if, for instance, your project is developing an integrated circuit, you will have to take a module on advanced concepts in microelectronics. the most critical skills will be developed before the project even starts, in the form of boot camps (短期强化训练), while the rest can be fostered along with the project, putting them to immediate use and thus providing a rich learning context.i) in addition to technical capabilities, the very nature of projects develops social and entrepreneurial skills, such as design thinking,initiative taking, team leading, activity reporting or resource planning. not only will those skills be actually integrated into the curriculum but theywill be very important to have in the future because they are difficult to automate.j) after the msc diploma is earned, there would be many more stamps of lifelong learning over the years. if universities decide to engage in this learning model, they will have to cope with many organisational challengesthat might shake their unity of place and action. first, the number of students would be unpredic table. if all of a university’s alumni (往届毕业生)were to become students again, the student body would be much bigger than itis now, and it could become unsustainable for the campus in terms of both size and resources. second, freshly graduated students would mix withprofessionally experienced ones. this would change the classroom dynamics, perhaps for the best. project-based learning with a mixed team reflects the reality of the professional world and could therefore be a better preparation for it.k) sound like science fiction? in many countries, part-time studying is not exceptional: on average across oecd countries, part-time students in represented 20 per cent of enrolment in tertiary education. in many countries, this share is higher and can exceed 40 per cent in australia, new zealand and sweden.l) if lifelong learning were to become a priority and the new norm, diplomas, just like passports, could be revalidated periodically. a time-determined revalidation would ease administration for everybody. universities as well as employers and employees would know when they have to retrain. for instance, graduates from the year would have to come back in .m) this could fix the main organisational challenges for the university, but not for the learners, due to lack of time, family obligations or funds. here, online learning might be an option because it allows you to save your‘travel time’, but it has its limits. so far, none of the major employers associated with online learning platforms such as coursera and udacity has committed to hire or even interview graduates of their new online programmes.n) even if time were not an issue, who will pay for lifelong learning? that’s the eternal debate: should it be the learner’s responsibility, that of his employer, or of the state? for example, in massachusetts, the healthcare professions require continuing education credits, which are carefully evidenced and documented. yet the same state’s lawyers don’t require continuing legal education, although most lawyers do participate in it informally. one explanation is that technology is less of a factor in law than it is in healthcare.o) europe has many scenarios, but the french and swiss ones areinteresting to compare. in france, every individual has a right to lifelong learning organised via a personal learning account that is credited as you work. in switzerland, lifelong learning is a personal responsibility and not agovernment one. however, employers and the state encourage continuing education either by funding parts of it or by allowing employees to attend it.p) universities have a fundamental role to play in this journey, andhigher education is in for a change. just like classical theatre, the old university model produced talent and value for society. we are not advocating its abolition but rather calling for the adaptation of its characteristics to meet the needs of today.36. students should develop the key skills before they start a project.37. by acquiring reasoning skills in the first few years of college, students can lay a foundation for lifelong learning.38. the easy access to learning and rapid technological changes have brought the traditional model of education under challenge.39. unbelievable as it may seem, part-time students constitute a considerable portion of the student body in many universities across the world.40. some social and managerial skills, which are not easily automated,will be of great importance t o students’future careers.41. a new model of college education should provide students with the knowledge and skills that will make them more inventive and capable oflifelong learning.42. a mixed student body may change the classroom dynamics and benefit learning.43. the question of who will bear the cost of lifelong learning is a topic of constant debate.44. to the traditional subjects of math and physics should be added a new discipline which combines computer science with statistics and other components.45. students who are burdened with family duties might choose to take online courses.section cdirections: there are 2 passages in this section. each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. for each of them there are fourchoices marked a), b), c) and d). you should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on answer sheet 2with a single line through the centre.passage onequestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.why does social media trigger feelings of loneliness and inadequacy? because instead of being real life, it is, for the most part, impression management, a way of marketing yourself, carefully choosing and filtering the pictures and words to put your best face forward.online “friends” made through social media do not follow the normal psychological progression of an interpersonal relationship. you share neither physical time nor emotional conversations over the internet. you simply communicate photographs and catchy posts to a diverse group of people whom you have “friended” or “followed” based on an accidental inter action. this isnot to say that your social media friends can’t be real friends. theyabsolutely can, but the two are not synonymous. generally speaking, there areno unfiltered comments or casually taken photos on our social media pages. and, rightfully s o, because it wouldn’t feel safe to be completely authentic and vulnerable with some of our “friends” whom we don’t actually know or with whom trust has yet to be built.social media can certainly be an escape from the daily grind, but we mustbe cauti oned against the negative effects, such as addiction, on a person’s overall psychological well-being.as humans, we yearn for social connection. scrolling (滚动) through pagesof pictures and comments, however, does not provide the same degree offulfill ment as face to face interactions do. also, we tend to idealize others’ lives and compare our downfalls to their greatest accomplishments, ending in feelings of loneliness and inadequacy.social media can lead people on the unhealthy quest for perfection. some people begin to attend certain events or travel to different places so thatthey can snap that “perfect” photo. they begin to seek validation throughthe number of people who “like” their posts. in order for it to play a psychologically healthy role in your social life, social media should supplement an already healthy social network. pictures and posts should be byproducts of life’s treasured moments and fun times, not the planned andcalculated image that one is putting out into cyberspace in an attempt to fill insecurities or unmet needs.ultimately, social media has increased our ability to connect with various types of people all over the globe. it has opened doors for businesses and allowed us to stay connected to people whom we may not otherwise get to follow. however, social media should feel like a fun experience, not one that contributes to negative thoughts and feelings. if the latter is the case, increasing face-to-face time with trusted friends, and minimizing timescrolling online, will prove to be a reminder that your social network is much more rewarding than any “like,” “follow” or “share” can be.46. what does the author imply social media may do to our life?a) it may facilitate our interpersonal relationships.b) it may filter our negative impressions of others.c) it may make us feel isolated and incompetent.d) it may render us vulnerable and inauthentic.47. why do people post comments selectively on social media?a) they do not find all their online friends trustworthy.b) they want to avoid offending any of their audience.c) they do not want to lose their followers.d) they are eager to boost their popularity.48. what are humans inclined to do according to the passage?a) exa ggerate their life’s accomplishments.b) strive for perfection regardless of the cost.c) paint a rosy picture of other people’s lives.d) learn lessons from other people’s downfalls.49. what is the author’s view of pictures and posts on s ocial media?a) they should record the memorable moments in people’s lives.b) they should be carefully edited so as to present the best image.c) they should be shown in a way that meets one’s security needs.d) they should keep people from the unhealthy quest for perfection.50. what does the author advise people to do when they find their online experience unconstructive?a) use social media to increase their ability to connect with various types of people.b) stay connected to those whom they may not otherwise get to know and befriend.c) try to prevent negative thoughts and feelings from getting into the online pages.d) strengthen ties with real-life friends instead of caring about their online image.passage twoquestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.imagine that an alien species landed on earth and, through their mere presence, those aliens caused our art to vanish, our music to homogenize, and our technological know-how to disappear. that is effectively what humans have been doing to our closest relatives—chimps (大猩猩) .back in , a team of scientists led by andrew whiten showed that chimps from different parts of africa behave very differently from one another. some groups would get each other’s attention by rapping branches with their knuckles(指关节), while others did it by loudly ripping leaves with their teeth. the team identified 39 of these traditions that are practiced by some communities but not others—a pattern that, at the time, hadn’t been seen in any animal except humans. it was evidence, the team said, that chimps have their own cultures.it took a long time to convince skeptics that such cultures exist, but now we have plenty of examples of animals learning local traditions from one another.but just when many scientists have come to accept the existence of animal cultures, many of those cultures might vanish. ammie kalan and her colleagues have shown, through years of intensive fieldwork, that the very presence ofhumans has eroded the diversity of chimp behavior. where we flourish, their cultures wither. it is a bitterly ironic thing to learn on the 20thanniversary of whiten’s classic study.“it’s amazing to think that just 60 years ago, we knew next to nothingof the behavior of our sister species in the wild,”whiten says. “but now,just as we are truly getting to know our primate(灵长类) cousins, the actionsof humans are closing the window on all we have discovered.”“sometimes in the rush to conserve the species, i think we forget aboutthe individuals,” says cat hobaiter, a professor at the university of st. andrews. “each population, each community, even each generation of chimps is unique. an event might only have a small impact on the total population of chimps, but it may wipe out an entire community—an entire culture. no matter what we do to restore habitat or support population growth, we may never beable to restore that culture.”no one knows whether the destruction of chimp culture is getting worse.few places have tracked chimp behavior over long periods, and those that haveare also more likely to have protected their animals from human influence.obviously conservationists need to think about saving species in a completely new way—by preserving animal traditions as well as bodies and genes. “instead of focusing only on the c onservation of genetically based entities like species, we now need to also consider culturally based entities,” says andrew whiten.51. what does the author say we humans have been doing to chimps?a) ruining their culture.b) accelerating their extinction.c) treating them as alien species.d) homogenizing their living habits.52. what is the finding of andrew whiten’s team?a) chimps demonstrate highly developed skills of communication.b) chimps rely heavily upon their body language to communicate.c) chimps behave in ways quite similar to those of human beings.d) different chimp groups differ in their way of communication.53. what did ammie kalan and her colleagues find through their intensive fieldwork?a) whiten’s classic study has little impact on the diversity of chimp behavior.b) chimp behavior becomes less varied with the increase of human activity.c) chimps alter their culture to quickly adapt to the changed environment.d) it might already be too late to prevent animal cultures from extinction.54. what does cat hobaiter think we should do for chimp conservation?a) try to understand our sister species’ behavior in the wild.b) make efforts to preserve each individual chimp community.c) study the unique characteristics of each generation of chimps.d) endeavor to restore chimp habitats to expand its total population.55. what does the author suggest conservationists do?a) focus entirely on culturally-based entities rather than genetically-based ones.b) place more stress on animal traditions than on their physical conservation.c) conserve animal species in a novel and all-round way.d) explore the cultures of species, before they vanish.part iv translation

K) eroded L) temperature M) amazement N) changes O) clever Section B Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage. It is 4 o’clock in the early morning.Everything but the computing room on the campus of the university appears as quiet and misty as the mysterious hell. In the computing room, 30 students crumpled with blurred eyes, sit still at their desk, thumping the dirty and worn keys. Staring at the colorful screen, they tap continuously for hours. For the other parts in the world, it might be in the midst of the night, nevertheless here time represents nothing. It is an utterly enclosed field. These young computer "hackers" are tracing a sort of stimulus; a drive so exciting and absorbing it downplays nearly anything else in their lives and founds as the focus their being. They are compelled computer programmers. Some of these students have been glued to the console for no less than twenty hours even with no break for meals or rest. Some have been sleeping on sofas and lounge chairs in the computing room, trying to struggle for a few moments’rest but hate to get too far away from their addicted machines. It is no necessary for most of these students to be at the computing room in the middle of the night. What they are working belong to no assignments. They remain there because they desire to be-they can not resist the attraction of the computers. Furthermore they are in groups instead of alone. There are hackers at computing rooms all over the country. In the unimaginable way, they focus on nothing but computer. They escape from schooling and live beyond friendship; they might have difficulty being employed, choosing to travel from one computing room to another. They may even abandon personal health. "There is one hacker in my memory. We actually had to lift him away from his chair to feed him and arrange him to rest and sleep. We truly worried about his health," says a computing science professor at California University. Professors of computer science are nowadays shedding more light on this hacker phenomenon and are on the watch for latent hackers and more and more severe computer addictives. They are sober that hackers are not simply resulted from the close relationship with a machine. It is the result of social relationship with the attractive thinking machines, which are becoming nearly universal. 57. We can learn from the passage that those at the computing room in the middle of the night are . A) students working on a program B) students using computers to amuse themselves C) hard-working computer science majors D) students deeply fascinated by the computer 58. Which of the following is NOT true of those young computer "hackers"? A) Most of them are top students majoring in computer programming. B) For them, computer programming is the sole purpose for their life. C) They can stay with the computer at the centre for nearly two days on end. D) Their "love" for the computer is so deep that they want to be near their machines even when they sleep. 59. It can be reasonably inferred from the passage that . A) the"hacker"phenomenon exists only at university computing rooms B) university computing rooms are open to almost everyone C) university computing rooms are expecting outstanding programmers out of the"hackers" D) the"hacker"phenomenon is partly attributable to the deficiency of the computing rooms 60.The author’s attitude towards the "hacker" phenomenon can be described as . A) affirmative B) contemptuous C) anxious D) disgusted 61. Which of the following may be the most appropriate title for the passage? A) The Charm of Computer Science B) A New Type of Electronic Toys C) Compulsive Computer Programmers D) Computer Addicts Passage Two Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage. Very few commenters have a better point of that forbidding exchanging media called E-mail than John Moon, the CEO of E-mail management company Talk Labs. Moon examines a network that deals with 5.0 million letters everyday. The servers run and fixed by Talk Labs manage mail delivery and routing for many companies, including Security Company of England and Malshef Business. As a matter of fact, all of Talk Labs’customers are madeup of companies whose daily E-mail outflow and inflow have substantially increased with the expansion of the Web. "E-mail usage has significantly risen recently," he says. Indeed, Talk Labs estimates that it has risen from 20 a day each employee as lately as three years ago to 30 or 40 at present. The implications for Corporate America are equally huge. As E-mail researcher and consultant Jack Blour believes, companies can be in the expectation of the volume of E-mail rising through their servers to grow 70% to 90% in 2002. And as individual messages soar it is most likely that they contain memory-companies could finally pay 100% to 150% more simply this year on systems in the store and management of those messages. That’s the reason why tech consultancy Tadigul Group predicts demand for software manageing E-mail, such as Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes, to grow from $2.6 billion in sales today to $4.4 billion by 2005. Controlling pure junk will cost too much money. About 20% of the E-mail Talk Labs manages is uninvited, according to Moon-who further states that about 1.25% of all the E-mail his company cancels includes useless files. It is estimated that handling spam(垃圾邮件) costs $8.6 billion throughout the world, according to a 2001 Japanese study. And some companies has been worried that the jam of pornographic spam may urge employees to sue on grounds of disturbance due to brought discomfort. 62.The first sentence of this passage "Very few commenters have a better point of that forbidding exchanging media called E-mail than John Moon..."most probably means . A) John Moon clearly know the E-mail is wasting resources B) no one knows the fact that E-mail is gossip exchanging way but John Moon C) John Moon does not know anything about the E-mail D) the John Moon always concentrated on the ocean of the junk E-mail 63. Which of the following is NOT true about Talk Labs? A) It is an E-mail management company. B) All of Talk Labs’customers are corporations. C) John Moon is the chief technology officer of Talk Labs. D) The company puts the great emphasis on dealing with the junk E-mail. 64. The word "that" in the last sentence of the third paragraph most possibly means . A) it is expected that Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes grow from $2.6 billion in sales today to $4.4 billion by 2005 B) the junk E-mail has been overloaded in the Internet C) the increase of individual messages needs more staff D) the company has paid 100% to 150% for individual message storage 65.The following statements about the E-mail have been mentioned EXCEPT . A) Moon examines a network that processes 5.0 million letters each day B) according to Jack Blour, companies can expect the volume of E-mail passing through their servers to grow not more than 50% in 2002 C) too much money has been spent in controlling the junk E-mail D) some employees might take legal action in accordance with annoyance arising from exposure to some unpleasant resources. 66. What is the best title for the passage? A) The E-mail Monster B) Talk Labs Business Introduction C) To Avoid E-mail Surge D) E-mail Destroys Everything。
2006年6月恩波英语四级模考(一)2
A few years ago a young mother watched her husband diaper(给……换尿布) their firstborn son. “You done not have to be unhappy about it,” she protested. “You can talk to him and smile a little.” The father, who happened to be a psychologist, answered firmly, “He has nothing to say to me, and I have nothing to say to him.” Psychologist now know how wrong that father was. From the moment of birth, a baby has a great deal to say to his parent and they to him. But a decade or so ago, these experts wear describing the newborn as a primitive creature who reacted only by reflex, a helpless victim of its environment without capacity to influence it. And mothers accepted the truth. Most thought (and some still do) that a new infant could see only blurry(模糊的) shadows, that his other senses were undeveloped, and that all he required was nourishment, clean diapers, and a warm bassinet. Today university laboratories across the country are studying newborns in their first month of life. As a result, psychologists now describe the new baby as perceptive , with remarkable learning abilities and an even more remarkable capacity to shape his or her environment including the attitudes and actions of his parents. Some researchers believe that the neonatal period may even be the most significant four weeks in an entire lifetime. Far from being helpless, the newborn knows what he likes and rejects what he doesn’t. He shut out unpleasant sensations by closing his eyes or averting his face. He is a glutton for novelty. He prefers animate things over inanimate and likes people more than anything. When a more nine minutes out, an infant prefers a human face to a head-shaped outline. He makes the choice despite the fact that, with delivery room attendants masked and gowned, he has never seen a human face before. By the time he’s twelve hours old, his entire body moves in precise synchrony (同时发⽣) to the sound of a human voice, as if he were dancing. A non-human sound, such as a tapping noise, brings no such response. 16.The author points out that the father diapering his first-born son was wrong because________. A. he believed the baby was not able to hear him B. he thought the baby didn’t have the power of speech C. he was a psychologist unworthy of his profession D. he thought the baby was not capable of any response 17. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. A new infant can see only blurry shadows. B. A new infant’s senses are undeveloped C. All a new infant requires is nourishment, clean diapers, and a warm bassinet. D. A new infant is actually able to influence his or her environment 18. What does the sentence “He is a glutton for novelty” probably mean? A. The newborn is greedy for new food B. The newborn tends to overeat C. The newborn always loves things that are new to him D. The newborn’s appetite is a constant topic in novels 19.According to the passage, it’s groundless to think that newborns prefer________. A. a human face to a head-shaped outline B. animate things to inanimate ones C. human voice to non-human sounds D. nourishment to a warm bassinet 20. What is the passage mainly discussing about? A. What people know about newborns B. How wrong parents are when they handle their babies C. How much newborns have progressed in about a decade’s time D. Why the first month of life is the most significant four weeks in a lifetime。

Most books on interviewing are not con ___rned aboutjournalistic kind because ________ . A) most people like to read broadcasting interviews B) most western people are seemingly familiar with journalistic interviews C) journalistic interviews are too professional for most people D) texts about journalistic interview don’t deal with the “how to” aspects 25. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an oasion of interview? A) Going to see a doctor. B) Reading an article. C) Negotiating with a client. D) Looking for a job.Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: A scientist who does research in economic psychology and who wants to predict the way in which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on resour ___s of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage ordiscourage money spending. If an economist was asked which of three groups borrow most, people with rising ines, stable ines, or declining ines--he would probably answer: those with declining ines. Actually, in the years 1947--1950, the answer was: people with rising ines. People with declining ines were next and pe ople with stable ines borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect pri ___s to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect pri ___s to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising pri ___s, "In a few months, " she said, "we'll have to pay more for meat and milk; we'll have less to spend on other things." Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in pri ___s that has already taken pla ___ ___y be resented and buyer's resistan ___ ___y be evoked. This is shown by the following typical ment: "I just don't pay these pri ___s; they are too high." The investigations mentioned above werecarried out in America. Investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were more in agreement with traditional assumptions about saving and spending patterns. The condition mostconducive(有助于) to spending appears to be pri ___ stability. If pri ___s have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the mon business policy of ___intaining stable pri ___s is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology.26. It can be inferred from the passage that if one wants to predict the way consumers will spend their money, he should ________. A) rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spending B) try to encourage or discourage consumers to spend money C) carry our investigations on consumer behavior and obtain data on consumers' ines and money spending motives D) do researches in consumer psychology in a laboratory 27. Aording to Paragraph 2, research s urveys have proved that ________. A) pri ___ increases always stimulate people to hasten to buy things B) rising pri ___s ___y ___ke people put off their purchaseof ___rtain things C) women are more sensitive to therising in pri ___s than men D) the expectations of pri ___ increases often ___ke buyers feel angry 28. The results of the investigations on consumer psychology carried out in America were ________ those of the investigations ___de at the same time in Great Britain. A) somewhat different from B) exactly the same as C) much better than D) not as good as 29. From the results of the surveys, the writer of this article ________. A) concludes that the saving and spending patterns in Great Britain are better than those in America.B) concludes that the consumers always expect pri ___s to re ___in stable C) concludes that ___intaining stable pri ___s is a correct business policy D) does not draw any conclusion 30. Which of the following statements is always TRUE aording to the surveys mentioned in the passage? A) Consumers will put off buying things if they expect pri___s to decrease. B) Consumers will spend their money quickly if they expect pri ___s to increase. C) The pri ___ condition has an influen ___ on consumer behavior. D) Traditional assumptions about earning and spending are reliable.Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a wo ___n and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn't help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point, the wo ___n asked: "So, how have you been?" And the boy―who could not have been more than seven or eight years old―replied , "Frankly, I've been feeling a little depressed lately.'' This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn't find out we were "depressed" until we were in high school. The eviden ___ of a change in children has increased steadily in re ___nt years. Children don't seem childlike any more. Children speak more like ___s, dress more like ___s and behave more like ___s than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it ___rtainly is different. Childhood as it on ___ was no longer exists. Why? Hu ___n development is based not only on innate (天生的) biological states, but also on patterns of aess to social knowledge. Movement from one social root to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught___ secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we___ sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders. In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) ___chine has been installed in 98 per ___nt of American homes. It is called television. Television passes infor___tion, and indiscriminately (不加区分地), to all viewers alike, no ___tter they are children or ___s. Unable to resist the temptation, ___ny children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures. Communication through print, as a ___tter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social infor ___tion to which children have aess. Reading and writing involve a plex code of symbols that must be memorized and practi ___d. Children must read ___ books before they can read plex ___terials.31. Aording to the author, feeling depressed is ________.A) a sure sign of a psychological problem in a child B) somethin g hardly to be expected in a young child C) an inevitable sign of children's mental development D) a mental scale present in all hu ___ns, including children 32. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the___ world ________. A) through contact with society C) naturally and by biological instinct B) gradually and under guidan ___ D)through exposure to social infor ___tion 33. The phenomenon that today's children seem ___-like is attributed by the author to _ . A) the widespread influen ___ of television B) the poor arrangement of teaching content C) the fast pa ___ of hu ___n in ___ectual development D) the constantly rising standard of living 34. Why is the author in favor of munication through print for children? A) It enables children to gain more social infor ___tion. B) It develops children's interest in reading and writing. C) It helps children to memorize and practi ___ more. D) It can control what children are to learn. 35. What does the author think of the change in today's children? A) He feels amused by their pre ___ture behavior.B) He thinks it is a phenomenon worthy of note. C) He considers it a positive development. D) He seems to be upset about it.Passage Four Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. "Opinion" is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to ___tters of taste, belief, andjudgment. This casual use would probably cause little confusion if people didn't attach too much importan ___ to opinion. Unfortunately, most do attach great importan ___ to it. "I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours, '' and ''Everyone's ent itled to his opinion, '' are mon expressions. In fact, anyone who would challenge another's opinion is likely to be branded intolerant.模板,内容仅供参考。

Test Paper Two Part Ⅳ Short Answer Questions (15 minutes) Directions: In this part there is a short passage with eight questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words(not exceeding 10 words) Mark Twain once remarked that the most impressive quality of weather was its dazzling(使⼈眼花缭乱的)uncertainty. More than a century later, we are still struggling to precisely predict, much less control, the atmospheric conditions around us. Yet researchers are at work on many fronts in the attempt to master the weather. For instance, we’ve made some progress in getting clouds to rain more or less on command. Recent studies show that water-absorbing salts scattered by aircraft may bring about a rainfall more effectively than dry ice. The crystals attract water droplets that otherwise would form around tiny specks of dust and remain too small and light to plunge to earth. We can’t yet “make” rain, but under the right conditions, a touch of airborne salt increases rainfall by 12 to 14 percent. Many people, on the other hand, are more interested in knowing whether it will rain at all –or rain so hard that they might expect some damage. Most forecasts are reasonably accurate from about 12 hours out to around five days. Any forecasts closer than that—or more remote –are problematic. But progress is being made in both directions. Nationwide, for instance, there’s growing interest in “nowcasting”—creating highly detailed forecasts for areas that extend out a mere 30 minutes or so. This is a tough task. Looking only at a growing thunderstorm itself doesn’t give you enough information to accurately predict its development and path. You have to understand the environment the storm is in, including storms around it, atmospheric stability, and other factors. Long—term forecasts are also improving thanks to more powerful computers, improved modeling, and satellite and ocean—sensor data. We’ll probably never be able to say that a storm will hit Seattle one year from now, but we’re learning about different weather cycles and their implications. What about actually changing the weather? “The idea of controlling the weather is science fiction,” snorts Professor Roni Avissar at Rutgers University. Nevertheless, people may one day have to seriously consider ways to reverse a different, unintended weather experiment: global warming caused by excess “greenhouse” gases from burnjing fossil fuels (矿物燃料)。
2009年6月英语四级考试模拟试卷及参考答案(恩波5)20
M: Do you think young people are given too much freedom nowadays, and that as a result they've lost respect for their parents and their elders generally? W: I don't thinks so. My parents never interfered with my plans too much. They advised me but never forced me to do anything I didn't want to do. I was allowed to take up the career I wanted. I think I respect and love them more for this. M: Are you quite independent of them now? W: Yes. As soon as I left school and started my studies as a nurse I became independent financially. I have a government grant. It is enough for my daily life. But I still stay with them a lot, as you know. M: You seem very close to your parents. W: I am. Many young people today say they have nothing in common with their parents but I'm rather lucky because I get on very well with mine. What about you? M: Well, we value family life very much in my country. I'm very fond of my family, but I don't always get on very well with them. They try to control me too much. W: But they allow you to come to study in England on your own. M: Yes, but only after a lot of persuasion! Your parents treat you as an adult; my parents treat me as a child. W: As I said, I'm lucky. Some English parents are like yours. They interfere too much and they just refuse to understand our generation. Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 19. According to the woman, why does she respect their parents? 20. What happened when the woman began to study nursing? 21. What attitude did the man's parents have towards his study abroad? 22. Which of the following statements is true according to the conversation? Conversation Two W: You don't look smart this morning. I can see you're not happy. M: I had never expected this would have happened to me. We had a power failure at home last night. W: How come? Did anyone in the family do anything wrong? M: You've guessed it. It was all my father's fault. W: What did he do? M: I was just watching a wonderful football feature program on TV when the lights suddenly went out. W: Why was that? M: You see, we'd just had our dinner. My mother was washing my jeans in the washing machine. And the air-conditioners were on in both rooms. I was in my room watching TV. W: What was your father doing then? M: He wanted to warm his tea in the microwave oven. He plugged it in and the fuse broke.And everything stopped all of a sudden. W: Your next-door neighbor is an electrician, isn't he? M: Yes. Luckily, he happened to be at home. He came and fixed it up. But it was half an hour later. I had already missed a lot. W: It was an annoying experience for a sports fan like you. But don't miss the basketball final this evening. Make sure there is no power failure tonight. Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 23.Why does the man look depressed this morning? 24. What was the immediate cause of the power failure? 25.What will the man probably do tonight? Section B 26. B 27. D 28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A 32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D Passage One We know little about how primitive people came to use the money,but we do know some of the articles which have been used as money. During the days of ancient Rome, salt was hard to obtain. Salt for the preparation of food was considered so precious that soldiers were paid with it. This salt money was known as salarium, and from it we get our word salary. In some regions of Asia, tin was used for money; and the American Indian used a variety of shell beads which he called wampum. In some places special kinds of sea-shells, bird feathers, or nuts were used. Perhaps the most common money of all was an animal of some kind. In some places today, cows are still used as a kind of money. So you see, things highly valued by everybody may serve as money. The Chinese were the first people to use coins as money. Today most coins are round; but the coins of ancient peoples were of many shapes. Some were round, some were square or rectangular, and others were even egg-shaped or had square holes in their centers. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26.What did ancient Rome use as money? 27.Who first used coins as money? 28.What is the main idea of the passage? Passage Two I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He seemed quite hysterical and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadn't the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go. It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn't know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had already died."She meant more to me than anyone...even my own wife!" he said. I could see that he had been crying. I assumed a terrible tragedy had taken place with the overtones of a possible scandal. I must admit I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn."I wouldn't leave her out in the cold!"he said. Milly had clearly been a secret sweetheart of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door and pointed his torch at a motionless shaps on the straw."She was such a good cow! I wouldn't let anyone but a doctor touch her!"he said, and burst into tears again. Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. Why did the speaker say that she obviously had to go? 30. What was the weather like that day? 31. Who did the speaker think Milly was when she saw the farmer? Passage Three What does the word "library"mean to you?Do you think a library is a large, silent room containing hundreds of books? It may surprise you to learn that there are other kinds of libraries. Most libraries do lend books, but some also lend art, music, and even toys! In some libraries, you can borrow an excellent reproduction of a famous painting for your home for several weeks. Then, you can return it and bring another one home. This is also true for records. You may choose your favorite record and take it home. There you may listen to it as often as you like. Later you may return it and try something else. Toy-lending is a new idea in libraries. In a toy library children's toys and games are classified by age groups just as books usually are. Children may play with anything in the library, and instead of demanding silence, toy libraries encourage children to make noise! Toy libraries not only provide toys and games for children, but also give them a place to come and meet and play with other children. Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 32. What are some of the things that you can borrow from an art library? 33. What is toy-lending? 34. In what kind of library can children make as much noise as they want? 35. Apart from toys and games, what else do toy libraries provide for children? Section C The automobile has many advantages. Above all, it (36) offers people freedom to go where they want when they want to. To most people, cars are also personal (37) fantasy machines that serve as (38) symbols of power, success, speed, excitement, and (39) adventure. In (40) addition, much of the world's economy is built on producing vehicles and supplying roads, services, and repairs of vehicles. Half of the world's paychecks are (41) auto-related. In spite of their advantages, motor vehicles have many harmful effects on human lives and on air, water, land and wildlife resources. Though we (42) tend to deny it, (43) riding in cars is one of the most dangerous things we do in our daily lives. Every year, (44) cars and trucks worldwide kill an average of 250,000 people, and they injure or permanently disable ten million more. (45) Half of the world's people will be involved in an auto accident at sometime in their lives. Motor vehicles are the largest sources of air pollution, producing a haze of smog over the world's cities. (46)In some countries, they produce at least 50% of the countries-air pollution.。

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in fewest possible words. Your answer may be a word, a phrase, a short sentence, or fewest possible words. Write your answers in thespaces provided on the right of the page.Sports is one of the world’s largest industries, and most athletes are professionals who are paid for their efforts. Because an athlete succeeds by achievement only—not by economic background or family connections—sports can be a fast route to wealth, and many athletes play only for money than for love.This has not always been true. In the ancient Olympics the winner got only a wreath of olive leaves (橄榄叶花环). Even though the winners became national heroes, the games remained amateur for centuries. Athletes won fame, but no money. As time passed, however, the contests became increasingly less amateur and cities began to hire athletes to represent them. By the fourth century A.D., the Olympics were ruined, and they were soon ended.In 1896, the Olympic games were revived (使再度兴起)with the same goal of pure amateur competition. The rules bar athletes who have ever received a $50 prize or an athletic scholars or who have spent four weeks in a training camp. At least one competitor in the 1896 games met these qualifications. He was Spiridon Loues, a water carrier who won the marathon race, After race, a rich Athenian offered him anything he wanted. A true amateur, Loues accepted only a cart and a horse. Then he gave up running forever. But Loues was an exception and now, as the Chairman of the German Olympic Committee said, “Nobody pays any attention to these rules.” Many countries pay their athletes to train year-round, and Olympic athletes are eager to sell their names to companies that make everything from ski equipment to fast food.Even the games themselves have become a huge business. Countries fight to hold the Olympics not only for honor,but for money. The 1972 games in Munich cost the Germans 545 million dollars, but by selling medal symbols, TV rights, food, drink ,hotel rooms, and souvenirs (纪念品), they managed to make a profit. Appropriately, the symbol of victory in the Olympic games is no longer a simple olive wreath—it is a gold medal.Questions:S1. To many people, sports today is nothing S1._______________but ____S1____. S1._______________ S2. What do most athletes of today go after? S2.________________S3. What reward could an ancient Greek athleteexpect?S3___ S3._________________S4.

大学英语四级考试参考答案
大学英语四级考试参考答案恩波英语模考答案-Part ⅠWritingMy View on DUI OffencesEvery year, thousands upon thousands of people are killed or injured in road accidents. A large proportion of these are alcohol related. Studies show that the use of alcohol results in decreased driving ability and increased risk of car crashes. People who drive under the influence of alcohol are nicknamed “highway killers”.Unfortunately, DUI remains a serious problem in China today in spite of some progress. Why is it so difficult to stop “highway killing”? What makes the DUI offenders reckless of the risk? I think the first reason may be the drivers failure to recognize the consequence. When they drink before driving, they think “just one drink won t hurt,”turning a blind eye to the danger. The second but more important reason is the drivers disregard for the law. They totally ignore their responsibility for road safety and are not deterred by the legal punishment because it is not severer enough.It is Irish time to take critical steps to prevent DUI offences. Apart from an education campaign to call for responsible driving and raise public awareness, there is an urgent need for more effective supervision, such as more frequent random breath testing to spot DUI offenders and stifferpenalties including revocation of driving licenses, heavy fines and even jail sentences. Only with these measures taken, can we prevent more tragedies from happening.Part ⅡReading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)1. D2. C3. A4. B5. A6. D7.

M: I know that short hair is fashionable these days, but you looked so much nicer with long hair.W: Long hair may look nice, but during the summer it s so uncomfortable.

M: Yes, they have been searching the area for hours, but they haven t found anybody else. They ll keep searching until night falls.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?13. M: How about going to the movies tonight, Helen?W: I d love to. But my mother is going to New Zealand to visit my brother, and I have to drive her to the airport. How about some other time, Henry?Q: What will Helen do tonight?14. M: I m really exhausted, but I don t want to miss that feature film that comes on at midnight.W: If I were you, I d skip it. We both have to get up early tomorrow morning and anyway I ve heard it s not that exciting.Q: What does the woman think the man should do?15. M: While you re having your hair done, I might as well do the shopping.W: Good, it will take at least a week to get to Denmark. Buy some stamps while you are there, and some airmail envelopes, will you?Q: What is the man planning to do now?16. M: I have to type my term paper for history until late into the night, but I m afraid my roommate won t be able to go to sleep.W: That certainly is true. Why don t you try the typing room in the basement? It is soundproof.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?17.

Actually I think once we show everyone how well you did as a junior class treasurer, you will win easily.M: How do we do that? Meet with all three thousand people who are members of the Student Union?W: Come on. What I m thinking of first is hanging campaign posters in all the hallways, where most of the students are sure to see them.M: That sounds good. But everyone puts up posters. What can we do to make that different?W: (21)The campus radio station is willing to let you have five minutes tomorrow morning at seven o clock to outline your plans for the year.Lots of students will be listening, then.M: That s a great idea!W: I ve also arranged for you to give a speech during dinner tomorrow.

It talked about the type of things that record companies have to be careful with when they come out with new CDs.M: What do you mean?W: Well, (23)they have to be very careful not to offend people—especially parents with young kids who might buy a CD that contained violent content or used strong language.M: How can that be avoided?W: Well, don t you remember when that woman—some senator s wife, I think, made a fuss over this issue? It s not really a law, (24)but music companies are now encouraged to put a warning label on albums that describe violence or use strong language.M: I don t understand. Doesn t that reduce the musician s freedom of speech?W: Not really. (25)Musicians still have a right to free speech, but the message on the label says, “Buyer, be careful:if you get upset by violence and ugly language, don t buy this album. ”You agree with that, don t you?M:I don t know. I still think the whole thing is funny and unreasonable. Musicians should have the right to say what they want to say without having to have a warning label put on their music, I mean, who gets to decide what is considered offensive and what isn t, we don t need a sticker to tell us what to do!23. What was the topic of the program that the woman saw last night?24. What is the result of that senator s wife making a fuss over the issue?25. What is the man’s opinion about the warning label on the music? Passage OneSpaceships travel around the earth, go to the moon, and return home safely.The astronauts carry important supplies with them on the spaceship—food, water, and air. Sometimes there are problems on the spaceship, and the astronauts have to understand how the spaceship works in order to repair the problems.In a way, all of us are really on a spaceship, the planet Earth. (27)We move around the sun at 18 miles per second and never stop. On our spaceship we have four billion people and a limited supply of air, water, and land. These supplies, just like the limited supplies on the astronauts spaceship, have to be used carefully because we can t buy new air, water, or land from anywhere else. Everyone needs air, water, and land to live—this is our environment.The environment on our planet is a closed system; nothing new is ever added. Nature recycles its resources. Water, for example, evaporates and rises to form clouds. This same water returns to the earth as rain or snow. The rain that falls today is actually the same water that fell on the dinosaurs 70 million years ago.Over the years, people have changed the environment. We have poured back into the land, air, and water more wastes than nature can clean. So we have pollution today.To continue to survive, we must learn how to use the Earth s resources wisely without destroying them. To save the spaceship Earth, we must cooperate with nature and learn better ways to use, not abuse, ourenvironment.26. What is the best title for this passage?27. Which of the following is true according to the passage?28. What can we conclude from the passage?Passage Two(29)There are three types of noise that can block communication. The first, external noise includes those obvious things that make it difficult to hear, as well as many other kinds of distractions. For instance, too much cigarette smoke in a crowded room might make it hard for you to pay attention to another person, and sitting in the rear of an auditorium might make a speaker s remarks unclear. External noise can interrupt communication almost anywhere in our model—in the sender, channel, message, or receiver.The second type of noise is physiological. (30)A hearing disorder is probably the most obvious type of physiological barrier, although many more exist. Consider, for instance, the difficulty you experience as a listener when you are suffering from a cold or are very tired. In the same way you might speak less when you have a sore throat or a headache. (31)Psychological noise refers to forces within the sender or receiver that make these people less able to express or understand the message clearly. For instance, a fisherman might exaggerate the size and number of fish in order to convince himself and others of his talents. In the same way, astudent might become so upset upon learning that she failed a test that she would be unable to clearly understand where she went wrong.29. What is the passage mainly about?30. What does a hearing disorder belong to?31. What does psychological noise mean?Passage ThreeThe New York Public Library is a very special place. Even though it is in the busiest part of the city, it has grass and trees around it, and benches for people to sit on. Even more unusual in crowded New York, (32)its rooms are very large. The roof of the main reading room is 51 feet high. Here a reader can sit and think, and work and comfort. The library has 30 million books and paintings. (33)It owns one of the first copies of a Shakespeare play, a Bible printed in the 15th century, and a letter written by Columbus in which he tells of the finding of the New World. Every New Yorker can see and use the library s riches free, but the cost of running the library has risen rapidly in recent years. (34)And the library does not have enough money to continue its work. (35)In the past it was open every evening, and also on Saturdays and Sundays. Now it is closed at those times to save money. The library is trying in every possible way to raise more money to meet its increasing costs. Well known New York writers and artists are trying to help, so are the universities whose students use the library, and the governments of New York City and New York State. But the problemsremain serious. Yet ways must be found to save the public library. Because as one writer said, the public library is one of the most important buildings in New York City, it contains all our knowledge.32. According to the passage, what is the most unusual feature of the New York Public Library?33. Which of the following is collected in the library?34. What is the main problem of the New York Public Library?35. When is the library open?。

大学英语四级考试参考答案Part ⅠWritingHoliday EconomyAs we see, the extended holidays have caused unexpected great travel craze and brisk economic activities. But there are many debates on the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of holiday economy. Many people, especially some economists, are in favor of the holiday economy. They believe that tourism based holiday economy has raised consumption and helped to spur the domestic demands. In addition, transportation, catering, hotels and service industries become flourishing during long holidays. However, many others argue that the holiday economy do more harm than good. First, the travel craze puts a heavy burden on the traffic system. Second, thousands of tourists flock to scenic spots causing over crowdedness and safetyproblems.As to me, I believe the advantages of holiday economy outweigh its disadvantages. After all, holiday economy greatly benefits the development of our overall economy. Besides, consumers can enjoy more colourful commodities and more preferential policies provided by the merchants. But the government should take effective measures to reduce the side effects of holiday economy. Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1. C2. D3. B4.C5. A6. D7.

However,even if the pictures are taken automatically, someone still has to do all the paperwork of issuing fines. But now a British company called EEV has come up with a computerized video system that can do it all automatically.They suggest that all number plates have a bar code as well as the usual number. The bar codes are just strips of lines like those you see on food packets but bigger. EEV s high speed video camera system can read a bar coded number plate even if the car is doing over 100 miles per hour. The computer controlling the system could then use the information from the bar code to find out thename and address of the driver from the car records, print out the fine and send it off automatically. The inventors also suggest that the system could watch traffic to help catch stolen cars.The new electronic system could be watching everyone that passes the cameras! Many people find the idea that “big brother is watching you” is more of a worry than a few motorists getting away with driving too fast.Besides, some people will be very unhappy to realize that with new system the police could find out where a particular car has been.26.

Knowing he couldn t live on his pension, he took his chicken recipe in hand, got behind the wheel of his van, and set out to make his fortune. His first plan was to sell his chicken recipe to restaurant owners, who would in turn pay him some money for every piece of chicken they sold—5 cents per chicken. The first restaurant he called on turned him down. So did the second.So did the third.In fact, the first 1008 sales calls Colonel Sanders made ended in rejection. Still, he continued to call on owners as he traveled across the USA, sleeping in his car to save money. Prospect number 1009 gave him his first “yes”.After two years of making daily sales he had signed up a total of fiverestaurants. Still the Colonel pressed on, knowing that he had a great chicken recipe and that someday the idea would catch on.Of course, you know how the story ends. The idea DID catch on.
