大学英语四级试练习卷一、阅读理解Passage 1Black AmericansAbout twenty-seven million people, or a little more than one-tenth of all United States citizens, are descended from people brought across the Atlantic from Africa between 150 and 300 years ago as slave. The consequences of this ancient trade have brought trouble and embarrassment to the American Republic from the time of its foundation. From the beginning the colonists in Pennsylvania, New York, and New England stayed out of the slave trade, but they could not stop the plantation owners of the South from buying slaves from Africa—a trade shared by the West Indies and the southern continent. Towards 1800 the southern states stopped the trade, and from then onwards no more slave ships came in, except for a few which came illegally. But by then there were nearly a million slaves in plantation of the South, and the U. S. Constitution had not changed their status. Southern slavery was ended only with the victory of the northern states in the civil war of 1861-1865. The U. S. constitution was amended so as to outlaw slavery, and to grant automatic citizenship and the equal protection of the laws to any person born in the United States.But long after 1865 the dominant whites in most of the South were still finding ways of excluding black citizens from real equality. Several of these devices, particularly those affecting voting rights, were found at various dates to be unconstitutional after argument before the Supreme Court of the United States. But even in the 1950s there were cases of southern black people being intimidated (恐吓) when they came to register as voters; and in the South there were still separate school, separate seats in local buses, even separate hospital car parks—and whites-only facilities of many kinds. Black opposition to discrimination was led by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with strong support from liberally-minded whites. The 1950s brought the beginning of major change.Back in 1896 the Supreme Court had ruled that if an education authority provided separate school of black and white children, there was no denial of the equal protection of the laws, as guaranteed by the Constitution —provided that the separate school were of equal quality. In 1954 the Court ruled that experience showed that separate school could not be of equal quality, so the "equal protection" clause of the fourteenth amendment could not allow states to provide separate education.At this time a black clergyman, Martin Luther King, became the informal leader of active movements of non-violent protest against racial segregation of all kinds, and he gained admiring support from whiteAmericans in the South as well as in the North. King came to the center of the stage at the time when television was becoming widely available. When defenders of the white supremacist traditions of the South reacted violently against a peaceful campaign for equal treatment, television showed the unpleasant scenes which they provoked. When the University of Mississippi admitted its first black student in 1962, he met with such threats of violence that he had to be protected by large groups of armed soldiers wherever he went. The people responsible for this intimidation soon learned that their actions were seen on television with hostile commentary, throughout the world. They could see that they brought shame, not just upon themselves, but upon their country.After the assassination of John Kennedy in 1963, his successor as President, Lyndon Johnson, expanded his ideas and led Congress to pass laws to eliminate racial discrimination. Southern racism was soon in full retreat, and its downfall owed much to the charisma (号召力) of Luther King, the symbol of the crusade against it. In 1969, Luther King became a martyr too, and like Kennedy and his brother, he was assassinated. Later the U. S. Congress set aside one day each year as a national holiday in his memory—an honor given to only one other man, George Washington, the nation's first President.By the 1970s blacks were registered as voters in the South in almost thesame proportion as whites. Soon many were elected to important offices in the southern states, and the South's most important city, Atlanta, had a black mayor. Blacks have been elected as mayors of several of the nation's biggest cities and hundreds of smaller ones; others have been elected or appointed to many of the highest national and state offices in the South as well as in the North, including the cabinet and the Supreme Court. There are now some thousands of black millionaires, not only athletes and entertainers but also in business and the professions as well.Except for a few pockets of resistance, segregation and race discrimination in the South had ceased to be a special problem by around 1970. But this did not mean that the conditions of blacks everywhere had become altogether happy,particularly in the northern cities. For several decades blacks moved in large numbers from the southern states to find work in the industries of the northern cities. Although this northward movement has lately been reduced as a result of improved civil rights and material prosperity in the South, there are by now more blacks in the North than In the South. Their condition in the North is by no means free of social problems. The average earnings of blacks are relatively low, and they are in general the first to become unemployed. In the 1960s and for some time afterwards, the gap between white and black earnings and unemployment was progressively narrowed, but more recently thestill-surviving gap has remained, and unemployment is still high among those young black people who leave school without educational qualifications.Discrimination against blacks, both in admission to all public places and in employment, is now illegal, Indeed, some employers have a deliberate policy of "affirmative action" discriminating in their favor. In some police forces and many northern and southern state and national government departments, black have been systematically and openly favored for promotion, and where there have been promotion examinations to be passed, the minimum grade has been set at a lower level for blacks than for whites. Universities have done the same in admitting students.1. The passage is primarily concerned with the black Americans' source and their struggle for equal rights with whites.2. The American civil war of 1861-1865 brought an end to discrimination against black people.3. In American history, Martin Luther King was as important as president Washington.4. White students are required to reach a higher level than blacks to be admitted by universities.5. In some cities there are whole areas which are inhabited by blacks or foreign immigrants.6. There are more blacks living in the North of America than in theSouth.7. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People were in charge of doing away with separate school for blacks.8. The U. S. has a population of about______people.9. Martin Luther King was noted for ______ movements of protest against racialsegregation of all sorts.10. The 1960s saw the______ of the gaps between whiteand black earnings and unemployment.Passage 2Perhaps it was only during the dawn of the human race that women 11 stood equal with men. At the beginning, I think both sexes shared equal responsibility for the 12 of the race. Men and women shared in the hunt and in wars. Traces of this ancient tradition can be found, for example, in the Achinese society in North Sumatra, where women fought alongside men against the invading Dutch colonial 13 during the Achinese wars in the 19th century. Some women even became admirals of the Achinese fleet. Other cultures in other parts of the world have had the 14 tradition.Perhaps the invention of agriculture 15 the beginning of adifferentiation between men's and women's roles. Men continued to hunt,and women became food gatherers and tended the field. Men 16 became agriculturists as well, when the hunt no longer provided enough sustenance for the community. The biological fact that women 17 children, and that each time they give birth they are 18 , for a time, fully to play their role in the provision of sustenance and other work for the family, slowly gave rise to more distinct men's and women's roles. Men who are physically stronger 19 on such " natural" roles as warriors, and in most cases men became chiefs, commanders, and kings. In the 20 of history, as matriarchal systems became minorities in many cultures, the roles of men and women in many societies became increasinglygender-oriented and differentiated.A. reallyB. policeC. bearD. courseE. survivalF. laterG. forces H. unableI. lately J. processK. remarked L. markedM. same N. tookO. unstablePassage 3Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent polls (民意测验) sixty to seventy percent ofAmericans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those with a good sex life are happier in general, but those who have a loving, affectionate relationship are happier than those who rely on sex alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factor.It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods are not necessarily happier adults.The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop the ability to tolerate frustration, to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.21. It can be inferred from the passage that______.A. happiness is predictableB. a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happyC. the rich are likely to be happier than the middle-income groupD. happiness is not necessarily connected to one's situation in society22. People with college education______.A. are not happier than those who have only an education at high schoolB. are much happier than those who did not graduate from high schoolC. have less opportunity to control their livesD. have more opportunity to control their lives23. According to the article, happiness is greatly dependentupon______.A. a happy childhoodB. great wealthC. a feeling that conditions are becoming for the betterD. a college degree24. Which of the following is most likely to contribute to happiness?A. Being exceptionally good-looking.B. Having a loving, affectionate relationship.C. Having a good paying job.D. Meeting lots of people.25. Which of the following attitudes or feelings is most likely to be found in happy people?A. Having self-esteem.B. Being sure of keeping everything they already have.C. Never being jealous.D. Knowing how to be charming.Passage 4Agriculture is the number one industry in the United States and agricultural products are the country's leading export. American farmers manage to feed not only the total population of the United States, but also millions of other people throughout the rest of the world. Corn and soybean exports alone account for approximately 75 percent of the amount sold in world markets.This productivity, however, has its price. Intensive cultivation exposes the earth to the damaging forces of nature. Every year wind and waterremove tons of rich soil from the nation's croplands.Each field is covered by a limited amount of topsoil, the upper layer of earth which is richest in the nutrients and minerals necessary for growing crops. Ever since the first farmers arrived in the Midwest almost 200 years ago，cultivation and, consequently, erosion have been decreasing the supply of topsoil. In the 1830s, nearly two feet of rich, black top soil covered the Midwest. Today the average depth is only eight inches, and every decade another inch is blown or washed away. This erosion is steadily decreasing the productivity of valuable cropland.A United States Agricultural Department survey states that if erosion continues at its present rate, corn and soybean yields in the Midwest may drop as much as 30 percent over the next 50 years.So far, farmers have been able to compensate for the loss of fertile topsoil by applying more chemical fertilizers to their fields; however, while this practice has increased crop yields, it has been devastating for ecology. Agriculture has become one of the biggest polluters of the nation's precious water supply. Rivers, lakes, and underground reserves of water are being filled in and poisoned by soil and chemicals carried by drainage from eroding fields. Furthermore, fertilizers only replenish the soils they do not prevent its loss.26. The last sentence in the first paragraph gives an example to show_______.A. that American farmers manage to feed the total population of the U. S.B. the leading position of the U. S. farming in the worldC. how important American people consider their farmingD. that many people in the world rely on the export of the agricultural products of the U. S. A.27. In order to compensate for the loss of fertile topsoil, farmers have been_______.A. planting less corn and soybeanB. putting fertilizers on their fieldsC. preventing soil erosionD. decreasing the supply of top soil28. At the present rate, approximately how many years later the black top soil now covering the Midwest will completely be blown or washed away?A. 120 years later.B. 80 years later.C. 50 years later.D. 100 years later.29. "This practice" in Paragraph 4 refers to_______.A. that farmers have lowered the yield of corn and soybeanB. that farmers have expanded croplandsC. that farmers have applied more chemical fertilizersD. that the top soil has been decreased greatly30. All of the following are statements about the disadvantages offertilizers EXCEPT thatA. they replenish the soilB. they do not prevent the loss of soilC. they are destroying the ecologyD. they pollute the nation's water supply二、完型填空More and more students want to study in“hot”majors. 1 a result, many students want to 2 their interests and study in these 3 such as foreign languages, international business and law, et C.Fewer and fewer students choose scientific majors, 4 maths, physics and biology, and art majors, 5 history, Chinese and philosophy.6 students can study in these“hot”majors, because the number of these“hot”majors 7 limite D.

The Rialto Bridge is one of the four bridges spanning the Gran d Canal.It is the oldest bridge across the canal, and was the dividing line between the di stricts of SanMarco and San Polo. But on this day, there was a twist: it was filled with V enetians, nottourists.B)"People are cheering and holding their carts in the air," says Giovanni Giorgio, who helpe d organize the march with a grass-roots organization called Generazione '90. The carts herefers to are small shopping carts—the symbol of a true Venetian."It started as a joke," hesays with a laugh."The idea was to put blades on the wheels! You know? Like Ben Hur.Precisely like that, y ou just go around and run people down."C) Venice is one of the hottest tourist destinations in the world. But that's a problem. Up to90,000 tourists crowd its streets and canals every day—far outnumbering the 55,000 permanent residents. The tourist increase is one key reason the city's population is do wnfrom 175,000 in the 1950s. The outnumbered Venetians have been steadily fleeing. Andthose who stick around 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, navigatin g through50,000 people while on the way to school or to work.D) Laura Chigi, a grandmother at the march, says the local and national governments ha vefailed 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 every year that appear over their medieval (中世纪的) surroundings. Their massive wake creates waves atthe bottom of the sea, weakeni ng the foundations of the centuries-old buildings themselves."Every time I see a cruise ship, I feel sad," Chigi says."You see the mud it drags; the destruction it leaves in its wake? That hurts the ancient wooden poles holding up the cityunderwater. One day we'll see Venice break down." F) For a time, UNESCO, the cultural wing of the United Nations, seemed to agree. Two y earsago, it put Italy on notice, saying the government was not protecting Venice. UNESC Oconsiders the entire city a World Heritage Site, a great honor that means Venice, at the cultural level, belongs to all of the world's people. In 2014, UNESCO gave Italy two yearstomanage Venice's flourishing tourism or the city would be placed on another list—Worl dHeritage In Danger, joining such sites as Aleppo and Palmyra, destroyed by the war in Syria.G) Venice's deadline passed with barely a murmur (嘟哝) this summer, just as UNESCO wasmeeting in Istanbul. Only one representative, Jad Tabet from Lebanon, tried to raise the issue."For several years, the situation of heritage in Venice has been worsening, and it hasnow reached a dramatic situation," Tabet told UNESCO."We have to act quickly—there isnot 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 Ne wspaper and the former head of Venice in Peril, a group devoted to restoring Venetian a rt. She says the main reason the U.N. cultural organizationdidn't vote to declare Venice a World Heritage Site In Danger is because UNESCO hasbecome "intensely politicized. Th ere would have been some back-room negotiations."I) Italy boasts more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country in the world,g ranting it considerable power and influence within the organization. The former head of theUNESCO World Heritage Centre, which oversees heritage sites, is Francesco Bandari n, aVenetian who now serves as UNESCO's assistant director-general for culture.J) Earlier this year, Italy signed an accord with UNESCO to establish a task force of polic e artdetectives and archaeologists (考古学家) to protect cultural heritage from natural disastersand terror groups, such as ISIS. T he accord underlined Italy's global reputation as a goodsteward of art and culture. K) But adding Venice to the UNESCO endangered list—which is dominated by sites indev eloping and conflict-ridden countries—would be an international embarrassment, andc ould even hurt Italy's profitable tourism industry. The Italian Culture Ministry says it is unaware of any government efforts to pressure UNESCO. As for the organization itself, it declined a request for an interview.L) The city's current mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, has ridiculed UNESCO and told it to mind it s ownbusiness, while continuing to support the cruise ship industry, which employs 5,00 0 Veniceresidents.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 tourists around," says Giorgio ashe navigates around a swelling crowd at the Rialto Bridge."There are just so many of them.They never know where they are going, and do not wal k in an orderly manner. Navigatingthe streets can be exhausting."N) Then it hits him: This crowd isn't made up of tourists. They're Venetians. Giorgio says he'snever experienced the Rialto Bridge this way in all his 22 years."For once, we are the oneswho are blocking the traffic," he says delightedly."It feels unreal. It feels like we're someform of endangered species. It's just nice. The f eeling is just pure." But, he worries, iftourism isn't managed and his fellow locals continu e to move to the mainland, his generationmight be the last who can call themselves nati ve Venetians.36. The passing cruise ships will undermine the foundations of the ancient buildings inV enice.37. The Italian government has just reached an agreement with UNESCO to take measur es 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 thein crease of tourists.40. If tourism gets out of control, native Venetians may desert the city altogether one d ay.41. UNESCO urged the Italian government to undertake its responsibility to protect Ven ice.42. The participants in the Venetian march used shopping carts to show they were 100% localresidents.43. Ignoring UNESCO's warning, the mayor of Venice maintains his support of the city'st ourism industry.44. One woman says that for decades the Italian government and local authorities have onlyfocused on the revenues from tourism.45. UNESCO has not yet decided to put Venice on the list of World Heritage Sites In Dan ger.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding l etter on Answer Sheet2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 and 50 are based on the following passage.Living in an urban area with green spaces has a long-lasting positive impact on pe ople's mental well-being, a study has suggested. UK researchers found moving to a green spacehad a sustained positive effect, unlike pay rises or promotions, which o nly provided a short-term boost. Co-author Mathew White, from the University of E xeter, UK, explained that thestudy showed people living in greener urban areas wer e displaying fewer signs of depression or anxiety."There could be a number of reasons," he said,"for example,people do many things to make themselves happier: they strive for pr omotion or pay rises,or they get married. But the trouble with those things is that within six months to a year,people are back to their original baseline levels of well-being. So, these things are notsustainable; they don't make us happy in the long ter m. We found that for some lottery (彩票) winners who had won more than ￡500,000 the positive effect was definitely ther e, butafter six months to a year, they were back to the baseline."Dr. White said his team wanted to see whether living in greener urban areas had a l asting positive effect on people's sense of well-being or whether the effect also disap peared after aperiod of time. To do this, the team used data from the British Househ old Panel Surveycompiled by the University of Essex.Explaining what the data revealed, he said:"What you see is that even after three years,mental health is still better, which is u nlike many other things that we think will make ushappy." He observed that people l iving in green spaces were less stressed, and less stressedpeople made more sensi ble decisions and communicated better.With a growing body of evidence establishing a link between urban green spaces a nd apositive impact on human well-being, Dr. White said,"There's growing interest among publicpolicy officials, but the trouble is who funds i t. What we really need at a policy level is todecide where the money will come from to help support good quality local green spaces."46. According to one study, what do green spaces do to people?A) Improve their work efficiency.B) Add to their sustained happiness.C) Help them build a positive attitude towards life.D) Lessen their concerns about material well-being.47. What does Dr. White say people usually do to make themselves happier?A) Earn more money.B) Settle in an urban area.C) Gain fame and popularity.D) Live in a green environment.48. What does Dr. White try to find out about living in a greener urban area?A) How it affects different people.B) How strong its positive effect is.C) How long its positive effect lasts.D) How it benefits people physically.49. What did Dr. White's research reveal about people living in a green environme nt?A) Their stress was more apparent than real.B) Their decisions required less deliberation.C) Their memories were greatly strengthened.D) Their communication with others improved.50. According to Dr. White, what should the government do to build more green spa ces incities?A) Find financial support.B) Improve urban planning.C) Involve local residents in the effort.D) Raise public awareness of the issue.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.You probably know about the Titanic, but it was actually just one of three state-of-th e-art (先进的) ocean ships back in the day. The Olympic class ships were built by the Harland & amp;Wolff ship makers in Northern Ireland for the White Star Line company. The Ol ympic classincluded the Olympic, the Britannic and the Titanic. What you may not kn ow is that the Titanicwasn't even the flagship of this class. All in all, the Olympic clas s ships were marvels of seaengineering, but they seemed cursed to suffer disastrou s fates.The Olympic launched first in 1910, followed by the Titanic in 1911, and lastly the Br itannic in1914. The ships had nine decks, and White Star Line decided to focus on m aking them themost luxurious ships on the water.Stretching 269.13 meters, the Olympic class ships were wonders of naval technolog y, andeveryone thought that they would continue to be so for quite some time. How ever, allsuffered terrible accidents on the open seas. The Olympic got wrecked befor e the Titanic did,but it was the only one to survive and maintain a successful careerof 24 years. The Titanicwas the first to sink after famously hitting a huge iceberg in 1912. Following this disaster,the Britannic hit a naval mine in 1916 and subsequen tly sank as well.Each ship was coal-powered by several boilers constantly kept running by exhauste d crewsbelow deck. Most recognizable of the ship designs are the ship's smoke sta cks, but thefourth stack was actually just artistic in nature and served no function al purpose. While twoof these ships sank, they were all designed with double hulls (船体) believed to make them"unsinkable", perhaps a mistaken idea that led to the Tita nic's and the Britannic's tragic end.The Olympic suffered two crashes with other ships and went on to serve as a hospita l ship andtroop transport in World War I. Eventually, she was taken out of service i n 1935, ending theera of the luxurious Olympic class ocean liners.51. What does the passage say about the three Olympic class ships?A) They performed marvellously on the sea.B) They could all break the ice in their way.C) They all experienced terrible misfortunes.D) They were models of modern engineering.52. What did White Star Line have in mind when it purchased the three ships?A) Their capacity of sailing across all waters.B) The utmost comfort passengers could enjoy.C) Their ability to survive disasters of any kind.D) The long voyages they were able to undertake.53. What is said about the fourth stack of the ships?A) It was a mere piece of decoration.B) It was the work of a famous artist.C) It was designed to let out extra smoke.D) It was easily identifiable from afar.54. What might have led to the tragic end of the Titanic and the Britannic?A) Their unscientific designs.B) Their captains' misjudgment.C) The assumption that they were built with the latest technology.D) The belief that they could never sink with a double-layer body.55. What happened to the ship Olympic in the end?A) She was used to carry troops.B) She was sunk in World War I.C) She was converted into a hospital ship.D) She was retired after her naval service.Part IV Translation (30minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30minutes to translate a passage from Ch ineseinto English.

Forquestions 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 informationgiven in the passage.How Do You See Diversity?As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for someof the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed thatthe candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhatdisappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but thefact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so shedecided to offer the job to her second choice.“It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized theperson we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. Whatshe hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s“different”behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-Americanraised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown byaverting(避开) your eyes.“I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it wascultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss thatopportunity again.”Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive asdifferent. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse,it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and toreexamine some of our false assumptions .Hire AdvantageAt a time when hiring qualified people is becoming moredifficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from theprocess have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helpsorganizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estaterecruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference suchtraining can make .“During my Mindsets coaching session ,I was taught how to recruit a diversified workforce. I recruited people from different cultures and skill sets .The agents were able to utilize their full potential and experiences to build up the company .When the real estate market began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to stay in the real estate market much longer than others in the same profession.”Blinded by GenderDale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops onsu pervising a diverse workforce . “Through one of the sessions ,I discovered my personal bias ,” he recalls . “I learned I had not been looking at a person as a whole person , and being open to differences .” In his case , the blindness was not about culture but rather gender.“I had a management position open in my department ;and the two finalists were a man and a woman . Had I not attended this workshop , I would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel . My reasoning would have been that even though both candidates were great and could have been successful in the position , I assumed the woman would have wanted to be home with her children and not travel .”Dale’s assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits an organization’s ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse workforce.“I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation , I needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision .” Dale credits the workshop , “because it helped me make decisions based on fairness .”Year of the Know-It-AllDoug is another supervisor who attended one of my workshops .He recalls a major lesson learned from his own employee.“One of my most embarrassing moments was when I had a Chinese-American employee put in a request to take time off to celebrate Chinese New Year . In my ignorance , I assumed he had his dates wrong , as the first of January had just passed . When I advised him of this , I gave him a long talking-to about turning in requests early with the proper dates .“He pati ently waited , then when I was done , he said he would like Chinese New Year did not begin January first , and that Chinese New Year ,which is tied to the lunar cycle ,is one of the most celebrated holidays on theChinese calendar . Needless to say , I felt very embarrassed in assuminghe had his dates mixed up . But I learned a great deal about assumptions ,and that the timing of holidays varies considerably from culture toculture .“Attending the diversity workshop helped me realize how much I couldlearn by simply asking questions and creating dialogues with my employees ,rather than making assumptions and trying to be a know-it-all ,” Dougadmits . “The biggest thing I took away from the workshop is learninghow to be more ‘inclusive’ to differences.A better Bottom LineAn open mind about diversity not only improves organizationsinternally , it is profitable as well . These comments from a customerservice representative show how an inclusive attitude can improvesales .”Most of my customers speak English as a second language . Oneof the best things my company has done is to contract with a languageservice that offers translations over the phone . It wasn’t until my bossreceived Mindsets’ training that she was able to understand how importantinclusiveness was to customer service . As result , our customer base hasincreased .”Once we start to see people as individuals . and discard thestereotypes , we can move positively toward inclusiveness for everyone .Diversity is about coming together and taking advantage of our differencesand similarities . It is about building better communities andorganizations that enhance us as individuals and reinforce our sharedhumanity .When we begin to question our assumptions and challenge what we think wehave learned from our past , from the media, peers , family , friends ,etc , we begin to realize that some of our conclusions are flawed(有缺陷的) or contrary to our fundamental values . We need to train our-selvesto think differently , shift our mindsets and realize that diversity opensdoors for all of us ,creating opportunities in organizations andcommunities that benefit everyone.1. What bothered Tiffany during an interview with her candidate?A) He just wouldn’t look her in the eye.B) He was slow in answering her questions.C) His answers to some of her questions were irrelevant.D) His answers to some of her questions were irrelevant.2.

2. 网上购物的优点和缺点。

【参考范文】（仅供参考，自己所写内容会有所不同）Online ShoppingWith the development of the Internet, online shopping has become increasingly popular. People can buy almost everything they need online without leaving their homes. The convenience and variety of choices make online shopping very attractive.One advantage of online shopping is that it saves time and effort. Instead of going to physical stores and standing in long lines, people can shop online with just a few clicks. Moreover, online shopping provides a wider selection of products compared to traditional shopping.

Despite having a brain no bigger than the 28 ofyour index finger, pigeons have a very impressive 29__ memory. Recently it was shown that they could be trained to be as accurate as humans at detecting breast cancer in images.Rats are often 30 with spreading disease rather than 31 it, but this long-tailed animal is highly 32 . Inside a rat's nose are up to 1,000 different types of olfactory receptors （嗅觉感受器）, whereas humans only have 100 to 200 types. This gives rats the ability to detect __33 smells.

Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Do In-Class Exams Make Students Study Harder?Research suggests they may study more broadly for the unexpected rather than search for answers.[A] I have always been a poor test-taker. So it may seem rather strange that I have returned to college to finish the degree I left undone some four decades ago. I am making my way through Columbia University, surrounded by students who quickly supply the verbal answer while I am still processing the question.[B] Since there is no way for me to avoid exams, I am currently questioning what kind are the most taxing and ultimately beneficial. I have already sweated through numerous in-class midterms and finals, and now I have a professor who issues take-home ones. I was excited when I learned this, figuring I had a full week to do the research, read the texts, and write it all up. In fact, I was still rewriting my midterm the morning it was due. To say I had lost the thread is putting it mildly.[C] As I was suffering through my week of anxiety, overthinking the material and guessing my grasp of it, I did some of my own polling among students and professors. David Eisenbach, who teaches a popular class on U.S. presidents at Columbia, prefers the in-class variety. He believes students ultimately learn more and encourages them to form study groups. “That way they socialize over history outside the class, which wouldn’t happen without the pressure of an in-class exam,” he explained, “Furthermore, in-class exams force students to learn how to perform under pressure, and essential work skill.”[D] He also says there is less chance of cheating with the in-class variety. In 2012, 125 students at Harvard were caught up in a scandalwhen it was discovered they had cheated on a take-home exam for a class entitled “Introduction To Congress.” Some colleges have what they call an “honor code,” though if you are smart enough to get into these schools, you are either smart enough to get around any codes or hopefully, too ethical to consider doing so. As I sat blocked and clueless for two solid days, I momentarily wondered if I couldn’t just call an expert on the subject matter which I was tackling, or someone who took the class previously, to get me going.[E] Following the Harvard scandal, Mary Miller, the former dean of students at Yale, made an impassioned appeal to her school’s professors to refrain from take-hone exams. “Students risk health and well being, as well as performance in other end-of-term work, when faculty offerstake-home exams without clear, time-limited boundaries,” she told me. “Research now shows that regular quizzes, short essays, and other assignments over the course of a term better enhance learning and retention.”[F] Most college professors agree the kind of exam they choose largely depends on the subject. A quantitative-based one, for example, is unlikely to be sent home, where one could ask their older brothers and sisters to help. Vocational-type classes, such as computer science or journalism, on the other hand, are often more research-oriented and lend themselves to take-home testing. Chris Koch, who teaches “History of Broadcast Journalism” at Montgomery Community College in Rockville, Maryland, points out that reporting is about investigation rather than the memorization of minute details. “In my field, it’s not what you know—it’s what you know how to find out,” says Koch. “There is way too much information, and more coming all the time, for anyone toremember. I want my students to search out the answers to questions by using all the resources available to them.[G] Students’ test-form preferences vary, too, often depending on the subject and course difficulty. “I prefer take-home essays because it is then really about the writing, so you have time to edit and do more research,” says Elizabeth Dresser, a junior at Barnard. Then there is the stress factor. Francesca Haass, a senior at Middlebury, says, “I find thein-class ones are more stressful in the short term, but there is immediate relief as you swallow information like mad, and then you get to forget it all. Take-homes require thoughtful engagement which can lead to longer term stress as there is never a moment when the time is up.” Meanwhile, Olivia Rubin, a sophomore at Emory, says she hardly even considerstake-homes true exams. “If you understand the material and have the ability to articulate (说出) your thoughts, they should be a breeze.”[H] How students ultimately handle stress may depend on their personal test-taking abilities. There are people who always wait until the last minute, and make it much harder than it needs to be. And then there those who, not knowing what questions are coming at them, and having no resources to refer to, can freeze. And then there are we rare folks who fit both those descriptions.[I] Yes, my advanced age must factor into the equation (等式), in part because of my inability toaccess the information as quickly. As another returning student at Columbia, Kate Marber, toldme, “We are learning not only all this information, but essentially how to learn again. Ourfellow students have just come out of high school. A lot has changed since we were last inschool.”[J] If nothing else, the situation has given my college son and me something to share, When Iasked his opinion on this matter, he responded, “I like in-class exams because the time isalready reserved, as opposed to using my free time at home to work on a test,” he responded.It seems to me that a compromise would be receiving the exam questions a day or two inadvance, and then doing the actual test in class the ticking clock overhead.[K] Better yet, how about what one Hunter College professor reportedly did recently for her finalexam: She encouraged the class not to stress or even study, promising that, “It is going to be apiece of cake.” When the students came in, sharpened pencils in hand, there was not a bluebook in sight. Rather, they saw a large chocolate cake and they each were given a slice.36. Elderly students find it hard to keep up with the rapid changes in education.37. Some believe take-home exams may affect students' performance in other courses.38. Certain professors believe in-class exams are ultimately more helpful to students.39. In-class exams are believed to discourage cheating in exams.40. The author was happy to learn she could do some exams at home.41. Students who put off their work until the last moment often find the exams more difficult thanthey actually are.42. Different students may prefer different types of exams.43. Most professors agree whether to give an in-class or atake-home exam depends on type ofcourse being taught.44. The author dropped out of college some forty years ago.45. Some students think take-home exams will eat up their free time.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 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 OneQuestions 46 and 50 are based on the following passage.That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the “first-night”effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect.Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators (捕食者). This led her towonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if theleft hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.46. What did researchers find puzzling about the first-night effect?A) To what extent it can trouble people. C) What circumstances may trigger it.B) What role it has played in evolution. D) In what way it can be beneficial.47. What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research?A) She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep.B) She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way.C) She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphinsD) She conducted studies on birds’ and dolphins’ sleeping patterns.48. What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment?A) She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment.B) She recruited 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences.C) She studied the differences between the two sides of participants’ brains.D) She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects.49. What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment?A) She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains.B) She recorded participants’ adaptation to changed environment.C) She exposed her participants to two different stimuli.D) She compared the responses of different participants.50. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment?A) They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others.B) They tended to perceive irregular beeps as a threat.C) They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps.D) They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.It’s time to reevaluate how women handle conflict at work. Being overworked or over-committed at home and on the job will not get you where you want to be in life. It will only slow you down and hinder your career goals.Did you know women are more likely than men to feel exhausted? Nearly twice as many women than men ages 18-44 reported feeling “very tired” or “exhausted”, according to a recent study.This may not be surprising given that this is the age range when women have children. It's also the age range when many women are trying to balance careers and home. One reason women may feel exhausted is that they have a hard time saying "no." Women want to be able todo it all volunteer for school parties or cook delicious meals-and so their answer to any request is often “Yes, I can.”Women struggle to say “no” in the workplace for similar reasons, including the desire to be liked by their colleagues. Unfortunately, this inability to say "no" may be hurting women's heath as well as their career.At the workplace, men use conflict as a way to position themselves, while women often avoid conflict or strive to be the peacemaker, because they don't want to be viewed as aggressive or disruptive at work. For example, there’s a problem that needs to be addressed immediately, resulting in a dispute over should be the one to fix it. Men are more likely to face that dispute from the perspective of what benefits them most, whereas women may approach the same dispute from the perspective of what's the easiest and quickest way to resolve the problem-evenif that means doing the boring work themselves.This difference in handling conflict could be the deciding factor on who gets promoted to a leadership position and who does not. Leaders have to be able to delegate and manage resources wisely – including staff expertise. Shouldering more of the workload may not earn you that promotion. Instead, it may highlight your inability to delegate effectively.51. What does the author say is the problem with women?A) They are often unclear about the career goals to reach.B) They are usually more committed at home than on the job.C) They tend to be over-optimistic about how far they could go.D) They tend to push themselves beyond the limits of their ability.52. Why do working women of child-bearing age tend to feel drained of energy?A) They struggle to satisfy the demands of both work and home.B) They are too devoted to work and unable to relax as a result.C) They do their best to cooperate with their workmates.D) They are obliged to take up too many responsibilities.53. What may hinder the future prospects of career women?A) Their unwillingness to say “no”.B) Their desire to be considered powerful.C) An underestimate of their own ability.D) A lack of courage to face challenges.54. Men and woman differ in their approach to resolving workplace conflicts in that______.A) women tend to be easily satisfiedB) men are generally more persuasiveC) men tend to put their personal interests firstD) women are much more ready to compromise55. What is important to a good leader?A) A dominant personality. C) The courage to admit failureB) The ability to delegate. D) A strong sense of responsibility.Part Ⅳ Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish.
