The Rialto Bridge is one of thefour bridges spanning the Grand Canal. It is the oldest bridge across the canal,and was the dividing line between the districts of San Marco and San Polo. Buton this day, there was a twist：it was filled with Venetians, not tourists.[B ] “People are cheering and holding their carts in the air, says GiovanniGiorgio, who helped organize the march with a grass-roots organizationcalled Generazione ’90. The carts he refers to are small shopping carts—the symbol of a true Venetian. “It started as a joke,”he says with a laugh. “The idea was to put blades on the wheels! You know? Like Ben Hur. Precisely likethat, you just go around and run people down. ''[C] Venice is one of the hottest tourist destinations in the world. But that's aproblem. Up to 90,000 tourists crowd its streets and canals every day—far outnumbering the 55 ,000 permanent residents. The tourist increase is onekey reason the city's population is down from 175,000 in the 1950s. Theoutnumbered Venetians have been steadily fleeing. And those who stickaround are tired of living in a place where they can 't even get to the marketwithout swimming through a sea of picture-snapping tourists. Imagine,navigating through 50,000 people while on the way to school or to work.[D ] Laura Chigi, a grandmother at the march, says the local and nationalgovernments have failed to do anything about the crowds for decades,because they 're only interested in tourism—the primary industry in Venice,worth more than $3 billion in 2015. “Venice is a cash cow,”she says, “and everyone wants a piece. ''[E]Just beyond St. Mark’s Square, a cruise ship passes, one of hundreds everyyear that appear over their medieval (中世纪的）surroundings. Their massivewake creats waves at the bottom of the sea, weakening the foundations of thecenturies-old buildings themselves. “Every time I see a cruise ship, I feelsad,”Chigi says. “You see the mud it drags；the destruction it leaves in its wake? That hurts the ancient wooden poles holding up the city underwater.One day we '11 see Venice break down.”[F]For a time, UNESCO, the cultural wing of the United Nations, seemed toagree. Two years ago, it put Italy on notice, saying the government was notprotecting Venice. UNESCO considers the entire city a World Heritage Site, agreat honor that means Venice, at the cultural level, belongs to all of theworld's people. In 2014, UNESCO gave Italy two years to manage Venice, sflourishing tourism or the city would be placed on another list—World Heritage In Danger, joining such sites as Aleppo and Palmyra, destroyed bythe war in Syria.[G]Venice's deadline passed with barely a murmur (嘟哝)this summer, just as UNESCO was meeting in Istanbul. Only one representative, Jad Tabet fromLebanon, tried to raise the issue. “For several years, the situation of heritagein Venice has been worsening, and it has now reached a dramatic situation,”Tabet told UNESCO. “We have to act quickly, there is not a moment to waste.''[H]But UNESCO didn't even hold a vote. “It's been postponed until 2017，''says Anna Somers, the founder and CEO of The Art Newspaper and theformer head of Venice in Peril, a group devoted to restoring Venetian art. Shesays the main reason the U. N. cultural organization didn 't vote to declareVenice a World Heritage Site In Danger is because UNESCO has become“intensely politicized. There would have been some back-roomnegotiations.[I]Italy boasts more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country inthe world, granting it considerable power and influence within theorganization. The former head of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, whichoversees heritage sites, is Francesco Bandarin, a Venetian who now serves asUNESCO's assistant director-general for culture.[J]Earlier this year, Italy signed an accord with UNESCO to establish a taskforce of police art detectives and archaeologists (考古学家）to protect cultural heritage from natural disasters and terror groups, such as ISIS. The accordunderlined Italy 's global reputation as a good steward of art and culture.[K]But adding Venice to the UNESCO endangered list—which is dominated by sites in developing and conflict-ridden countries—would be an internationalembarrassment, and could even hurt Italy 's profitable tourism industry. TheItalian Culture Ministry says it is unaware of any government efforts topressure UNESCO. As for the organization itself, it declined a request for aninterview.[L] The city 's current mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, has ridiculed UNESCO and told itto mind its own business, while continuing to support the cruise ship industry,which employs 5,000 Venice residents.[M]As for Venetians, they're beyond frustrated and hoping for a solution soon.“It's a nightmare for me. Some situations are really difficult with touristsaround，”says Giorgio as he navigates around a swelling crowd at the RialtoBridge. “There are just so many of them. They never know where they aregoing, and do not walk in an orderly manner. Navigating the streets can beexhausting. ”[N]Then it hits him: This crowd isn’t made up of tourists. They're Venetians. Giorgio says he’s never experienced the Rialto Bridge this way in all his 22years. “For once, we are the ones who are blocking the traffic，”he says delightedly. “It feels unreal. It feels like we 're some form of endangeredspecies. It's just nice. The feeling is just pure. n But, he worries, if tourism isn'tmanaged and his fellow locals continue to move to the mainland, hisgeneration might be the last who can call themselves native Venetians.36. The passing cruise ships will undermine the foundations of the ancient buildings in Venice.37. The Italian government has just reached an agreement with UNESCO to take measures to protect its cultural heritage.38. The heritage situation in Venice has been deteriorating in the past few years.39. The decrease in the number of permanent residents in Venice is mainly due to the increase of tourists.40. If tourism gets out of control, native Venetians may desert the city altogether one day.41. UNESCO urged the Italian government to undertake its responsibility to protect Venice.42. The participants in the Venetian march used shopping carts to show they were 100% local residents.43. Ignoring UNESCO 's warning, the mayor of Venice maintains his support of the city 's tourism industry.44. One woman says that for decades the Italian government and local authorities have only focused on the revenues from tourism.45. UNESCO has not yet decided to put Venice on the list of World Heritage Sites In Danger.Section CPassage OneLosing your ability to think and remember is pretty scary. We know the risk ofdementia (痴呆症)increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn't worry.There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-relatedmemory loss.After age 50，it's quite common to have trouble remembering the names ofpeople, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham andWomen's Hospital in Boston.The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink, especiallyareas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning.Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions ofthe brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing toworry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don't remember evenseeing it, that's far more concerning, Daffner says.When you forget entire experiences, he says, that's “a red flag that something more serious may be involved”. Forgetting how to operate a familiar objectlike a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friendyou've visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong.But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn't panic. There are many thingsthat can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems liketemporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, ordepression, as well as medications (药物)like antidepressants.You don't have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to yourdoctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that couldbe affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to try toprevent it by building up your brain's cognitive (认知的）reserve, Daffner says. “Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force oneto think in novel ways,”he says. In other words, keep your brain busy andworking. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brainbooster.46. Why does the author say that one needn't be concerned about memoryslips?A) Not all of them are symptoms of dementia.B) They occur only among certain groups of people.C) Not all of them are related to one's age.D) They are quite common among fifty-year-olds.47. What happens as we become aged according to the passage?A) Our interaction skills deteriorate.B) Some parts of our brain stop functioning.C) Communication within our brain weakens.D) Our whole brain starts shrinking.48. Which memory-related symptom should people take seriously?A) Totally forgetting how to do one's daily routines.B) Inability to recall details of one's life experiences.C) Failure to remember the names of movies or actors.D) Occasionally confusing the addresses of one's friends.49. What should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up?A) Check the brain's cognitive reserve.B) Stop medications affecting memory.C) Turn to a professional for assistance.D) Exercise to improve their well-being.50. What is Dr. Daffner's advice for combating memory loss?A) Having regular physical and mental checkups.B) Taking medicine that helps boost one's brain.C) Engaging in known memory repair activities.D) Staying active both physically and mentally.Passage TwoA letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to theSmithsonian Institution Archives (档案馆）by the FBI after being stolen twice.“We realized in the mid-1970s that it was missing，”says Effie Kapsalis, headof the Smithsonian Institution Archives. “It was noted as missing and likelytaken by an intern (实习生），from what the FBI is telling us. Word got out thatit was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes,”and the intern put the letter back. “The intern likely took the letter again oncenobody was watching it. ”Decades passed. Finally, the FBI received a tip that the stolen document waslocated very close to Washington, D. C. Their art crime team recovered theletter but were unable to press charges because the time of limitations hadended. The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letterwas both authentic and definitely Smithsonian 's property.The letter was written by Darwin to thank an American geologist, Dr.Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, for sending him copies of his research into thegeology of the region that would become Yellowstone National Park.The letter is in fairly good condition，in spite of being out of the care of trainedmuseum staff for so long. “It was luckily in good shape, ''says Kapsalis. “and we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it. It hassome glue on it that has colored it slightly, but nothing that will prevent usfrom using it. After it is repaired, we will take digital photos of it and that w ill be available online. One of our goals is to get items of high research value orinterest to the public online. ”It would now be difficult for an intern, visitor or a thief to steal a documentlike this. “Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s，''says Kapsalis, “and we keep our high value documents in a safe that I don't evenhave access to. ''51. What happened to Darwin's letter in the 1970s?A) It was recovered by the FBI.B) It was stolen more than once.C) It was put in the archives for research purposes.D) It was purchased by the Smithsonian Archives.52. What did the FBI do after the recovery of the letter?A) They proved its authenticity.B) They kept it in a special safe.C) They arrested the suspect immediately.D) They pressed criminal charges in vain.53. What is Darwin's letter about?A) The evolution of Yellowstone National Park.B) His cooperation with an American geologist.C) Some geological evidence supporting his theory.D) His acknowledgement of help from a professional.54. What will the Smithsonian Institution Archives do with the letter according to Kapsalis?A) Reserve it for research purposes only.B) Turn it into an object of high interest.C) Keep it a permanent secret.D) Make it available online.55. What has the past half century witnessed according to Kapsalis?A) Growing interest in rare art objects.B) Radical changes in archiving practices.C) Recovery of various missing documents.D) Increases in the value of museum exhibits.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)近年来，中国有越来越多的城市开始建设地铁。

Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Media Selection for AdvertisementsAfter determining the target audience for a product or service, advertising agencies must select the appropriate media for the advertisement. We discuss here the major types of media used in advertising. We focus on attention on seven types of advertising: television, newspapers, radio, magazines, out-of-home, Internet, and direct mail.TelevisionTelevision in an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers mass audiences to advertisers. When you consider that nearly three out of four Americans have seen the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? you can understand the power of television to communicate with a large audience. When advertisers create a brand, for example, they want to impress consumers with the brand and its image. Television provides an ideal vehicle for this type of communication. But television is an expensive medium, and not all advertisers can afford to use it.Television’s influence on advertising is fourfold. First, narrowcasting means that television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience. the Golf Channel, for instance, is watched by people who play golf. Home and Garden Television is seen by those interested in household improvement projects. Thus, audiences are smaller and more homogeneous (具有共同特点的) than they have been in the past. Second, there is an increase in the number of television channels available to viewers, and thus, advertisers. This had also resulted in an increase in the sheer number of advertisements to which audiences are exposed. Third, digital recording devices allow audience members more control over which commercials they watch. Fourth, control over programming is being passed from the networks to local cable operators and satellite programmers.NewspapersAfter television, the medium attracting the next largest annual as revenue is newspapers. The New York Times, which reaches a national audience, accounts for $1 billion in ad revenue annually. It has increased its national circulation (发行量) by 40% and is now available for home delivery in 168 cities. Locally, newspapers are the largest advertising medium.Newspapers are a less expensive advertising medium than television and provide a way for advertisers to communicate a longer, more detailed message to their audience than they can through television. Given new production techniques, advertisements can be printed in about 48 hours, meaning newspapers are also a quick way of getting the message out. Newspapers are often the most important form of news for a local community, and they develop a high degree of loyalty from local readers.RadioAdvertising on radio continues to grow. Radio is often used in conjunction with outdoor bill-boards (广告牌) and the Internet to reach even more customers than television. Advertisers are likely to use radio because it is a less expensive medium than television, which means advertisers can afford to repeat their ads often. Internet companies are also turning to radio advertising. Radio provides a way for advertisers to communicate with audience members at all times of the day. Consumers listen to radio on their way to school or work, at work, on the way home, and in the evening hours.Two major changes—satellite and Internet radio—will force radio advertisers to adapt their methods. Both of these radio forms allow listeners to tune in stations that are more distant than the local stations they could receive in the past. As a result, radio will increasingly attract target audiences who live many miles apart.MagazinesNewsweeklies, women’s titles, a nd business magazines have all seen increases in advertising because they attract the high-end market. Magazines are popular with advertisers because of the narrow market that they deliver. A broadcast medium such as network television attracts all types of audience members, but magazine audiences are more homogeneous. If you read Sports Illustrated, for example, you have such in common with the magazine’s other readers.Advertisers see magazines as an efficient way of reaching target audience members.Advertisers using the print media—magazines and newspapers—will need to adapt to two main changes. First, the Internet will bring larger audiences to local newspapers. These audiences will be more diverse and geographically dispersed分散)than in the past. Second, advertisers will have to understand how to use an increasing number of magazines for their target audiences. Although some magazines will maintain national audiences, a large number of magazines will entertain narrower audiences.Out-of-home advertisingOut-of-home advertising, also called place-based advertising, has become an increasingly effective way of reaching consumers, who are more active than ever before. Many consumers today do not sit at home and watch television. Using billboards, newsstands, and bus shelters for advertising is an effective way of reaching these on-the-go consumers. More consumers travel longer distances to and from work, which also makes out-of-home advertising effective. Technology has changed the nature of the billboard business, making it a more effective medium than in the past. Using the digital printing, billboard companies can print a billboard in 2 hours, compared with 6 days previously. This allows advertisers more variety in the types of messages they create because they can change their messages more quickly.InternetAs consumers become more comfortable with online shopping, advertisers will seek to reach this market. As consumers get more of their news and information from the Internet, the ability of television and radio to get the word out to consumers will decrease. The challenge to Internet advertisers is to create ads that audience members remember.Internet advertising will play a more prominent role in organizations’ advertising in the near future. Internet audiences tend to be quite homogeneous, but small. Advertisers will have to adjust their methods to reach these audiences and will have to adapt their persuasive strategies to the inline medium as well.Direct mailA final adverti sing medium is d irect mail, which uses mailings to consumers to communicate a client’s message. Direct mail includes newsletters, postcards, and special promotion. Direct mail is an effective way to build relationships with consumers. For many businesses, direct mail is the most effective form of advertising.1.Television is an attractive advertising medium in that _________ .A)it has large audiences C) it helps build up a company’s reputationB)it appeals to housewives D) it is affordable to most advertisers2.With the increase in the number of TV channels, _____________ .A)the cost of TV advertising has decreased B) the number of TV viewers has increasedC)advertisers’ interest in other media has decreasedD)the number of TV ads people can see has increasedpare with television, newspapers as an advertising medium ______________ .A)earn a larger annual ad revenue C) use more production techniquesB)convey more detailed messages D) get messages out more effectively4.Advertising on radio continues to grow because ___________ .A)more local radio stations have been set up C) it provides easy access to consumersB)modern technology makes it more entertaining D) it has been revolutionized by Internet radio5.Magazines are seen by advertisers as an efficient way to __________ .A)reach target audiences C) attract diverse audiencesB)appeal to educated people D) convey all kinds of messages6.Out-of-home advertising has become more effective because ______________ .A)billboards can be replaced within two hours C) such ads have been made much more attractiveB)consumers travel more now than ever before D) the pace of urban life is much faster nowadays7.The challenge to Internet advertisers is to create ads that are ________ .A) quick to update B) pleasant to look at C) easy to remember D) convenient to access8.Internet advertisers will have to adjust their methods to reach audiences that tend to be _________ .9.Direct mail is an effective form of advertising for business to develop ___________ .10.This passage discusses how advertisers select ___________ for advertisements.Part III Listening Comprehension (35 minutes) Section A11.A) Given his ankle a good rest.8)Treat his injury immediately.12.A) On a train.

I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly _47_ to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was _48_ to a little college French.I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, _49_ unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems, set up _50_ and do research? It seemed impossible, and with considerable _51_ I sat down to write a letter begging off. Halfway through, a thought can through my mind: you can learn if you don’t try . So I accepted the assignment.There were some bad _52_. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since, I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places, without guiders or even _53_ bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.The point is that the new, the different, is almost by definition _54_. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.I’ve learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a _55_. And I know I’ll go on doing such things. It’s not because I’m braver or more daring than others. I’m not. But I’ll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can _56_ wonders.Section BPassage OneGlobal warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but regardless of whether it is or isn't -we won't do much about it. We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed.Al Gore ca lls global warming an “inconven ient truth,” as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to asolu tion. But the real truth is that we don't know enough to relieve global warming, and - without major technological breakthroughs —we can't do much about it.From 2003 to 2050, the world's population is projected to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase. If energy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (mainly, CO2) will be 42% higher in 2050. but that's too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unle ss we condemn the world's poor to their present poverty and freeze everyone else's living standards. With modest growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050.No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still, politicians want to show they're “doing something.” Consider the Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书). It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn't. But it hasn't reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990), and many signatories (签字国) didn't adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets. A) accomplishB) advancedC) balloonD) claimE) constantly F) declare G) interviews H)limited I) manufacture J) moments K) news L) reduced M) regret N) scary O) totally。

There, they keep other creatures in check, distribute seeds, and cleandead and decaying materials from the ground.Avery small percentage of ants do harm to humans. But those are incrediblychallenging to control. They are small enough to easily slip inside your house,live in colonies that number in the tens of thousands to the hundreds ofthousands, and reproduce quickly. Thatmakes them good at getting in, and hard to kick out. Once they settle in, theseinsects start affecting your home. In addition to biting ants, other speciescan cause different kinds of damage. (17) Some, like carpenter ants, can undermine a home structure, while others interferewith electrical units.Unfortunately, our homes are very attractiveto ants, because they provide everything the colony needs to survive, such asfood, water, and shelter. So how can we prevent ants from getting into ourhomes? (18) Most important of all, avoid giving ants any access to food,particularly sugary food, because ants have a sweet tooth. We also need toclean up spills as soon as they occur and store food in airtight containers.Even garbage attracts ants, so empty yourtrash as often as possible, and storeyour outside garbage in a lidded can, well away from doors and windows.Questions16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16.What does the passage say about ants?17.What do we learn from the passage about carpenter ants?18.What can we do to prevent ants from getting into our homes?答案：16. C) Only a few species cause trouble to humans.17. B) They can cause damageto people's homes.18. A) Deny them access to any food.Passage Two(19)My research focus is on what happens to our immunesystem as we age. So the jobof the immune system is to fight infections. It also protects us from virusesand from auto immune diseases. Weknow that as we get older，it's easier for us toget infections. So older adultshave more chances of falling ill. Thisis evidence that our immune system really doesn't function so well when we age. In most of our work when we're lookingat older adults who've got an illness, we always have to have health controls. So we work very closely with a greatgroup of volunteers called the 1000 elders. Thesevolunteers are all 65 or over but in good health. (20)They come to the university toprovide us with blood samples to be interviewed and help us carry out a wholerange of research. (21)The real impact of our research isgoing to be on health in old age. Atthe moment we're living much longer. Lifeexpectancy is increasing at 2 years for every decade. That means an extra 5 hours a day. I want to make sure that older adultsare still able to enjoy their old age and that they're not spending time in hospitalwith infections feeling unwell and being generally weak. We want people to be healthy even whenthey are old.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage youhave just heard.19. What is the focus of the speaker’s research?20. Whatare the volunteers asked to do in the research?21. Whatdoes the speaker say will be the impact of his research?答案：19. D) The change in people’s immune system as they get older.20. B) Offer blood samples.21. C) Helping improve old people’s health conditions.Passage ThreeWhen Ted Komada started teaching 14 years ago at Kilip Elementaryhe didn't know how to manage a classroom and was struggling to connect with students. (22)He noticed a couple of days afterschool that a group of kids would get together to play chess. " I know how to play chess; let me go and show these kids how to do it," he said. Now Komada coach this school's chessteam. The whole program startedas a safe place for kids to come after school. (23)And this week dozens of thosestudents are getting ready to head out to Nashville Tennessee to compete withabout 5000 other young people at the SuperNationals of chess. The competition only happens every 4 years and the last time the team went, they won the third place in the nation. Komada says chess gives him and hisstudents control. The school hasthe highest number of kids from low-income families. Police frequent the areaday and night as 2 months ago a young man was shot just down the street. (25)Komada likes to teach hisstudents that they should think about their move before they do it. The lessons prove valuable outside theclassroom as well. Many parentssee these lessons translate into the real world. Students are more likely to thinkabout their actions and see whether they will lead to trouble.22.

today.With the improvement of housing conditions,a growing number of young cou-ples choose to live separately from their parents but their connection remains close.Many seniors still help look after

place for you to learn Chinese:the LondonConfucius Institute.There are three reasons for this recommendation.First,the London Confucius Institute possesses top teaching resources.As one of the earliest established Confucius Institutes in the UK,it provides a wide range of courses covering both language training and Chinese culture appreciation.Second,it offers mul-tiple scholarship programs for outstanding students.Third,it is close to where you live.If you take sub-way,you can get to the London Confucius Institute in just20minutes.I think the London Confucius Institute is a perfect

name always comes first,followed by the given name.For thousands of years,the father s family name has been passed on from generation to generation.However,it is not uncommon now for a child to have the mother s familyname.Generally speaking,a given name con-tains one or two Chinese characters,which usually carry the parents expectations for the child.There-fore,it can be inferred from the name what kind of person the parents expect their child to be,or what kind of life to live.Parents attach great importance to naming their children because names usually go with them for a whole life.2019年12⽉⼤学英语四级考试真题(第3套)参考答案PartⅠ⼀Writing(30minutes) Dear Tom,I am glad to receive your letter in which you showed great interest in teaching English in China.Ac-tually,China is fast becoming a

Shang-hai.Parents in Shanghai are more than willing to pay handsomely for their children s adequate language proficiency that can help them in getting higher education in international universities.What s more, Shanghai is a city rich in spectacular views and longhistory,blending Western and Eastern traditions, and being infused with modern culture and arts.Outside the classroom,you
