Model Test 1DictationMaking a ComplaintComplaning about faulty goods or bad services is never easy. / But if something you have bought is faulty or of poor quality, / you have to ask for a favor to get it right. / Complaints should be made to a responsible person. / Go back to the shop where you bought the goods, / taking with you any receipt you may have. / In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so youcan complain directly. / In a chain store, ask the manager. / If you telephone, ask the name of the person who handles your enquiry; / otherwise you may never find out who dealt with the complaint later. / If you do not want to do it in person, write a letter. / Stick to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. / At this stage you should give any receipt numbers, / but you do not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article.CompositionAn Electronic Dictionary or a Traditional Paper One?Dictionaries play a very important role in language study. When it comes to whether to choose an electronic dictionary or a traditional paper one, different people will offer different opinions. Though electronic dictionaries are more popular now and often quicker and easier to use, traditonal paper dictionaries are the better tool for study, especially of a foreign language.Traditional dictionaries, by providing more detailed definitions and examples, have greater capacity of vocabulary and better serve for study purposes. Some famous publishing houses have issued a lot of authoritative dictionaries like Oxford and Webster. People can choose any paper format from many different publishers as a study tool while there are frequently many errors in electronic ones. In addition, electronic dictionaries do not necessarily provide enough detail to provide accurate information.Though paper dictionaries are generally much heavier than electronic ones, students can use them at any time and in any place because they do not rely on electricity. Though the size of the letters in some dictionaries is very small, it does not consume energy unless some count the energy a person uses to carry it around! Think of all the money people could save on batteries, too!When people travel, an electronic dictionary may be more convenient. However, if somebody wants to read a book in a foreign language, a traditional dictionary is the perfect tool. Paper dictionaries are not merely a tool to check the meaning of words, but also a book which can be used to increase your vocabulary.Note-writingMarch 2, 2012 Dear Mr. Maxim,I take great pleasure in sending my most ardent and earnest congratulations on your promotion to professor at the university! You are absolutely worthy of this new professional title since your lectures are always academically interesting and easy to understand. My best wishes for you continued success!Yours,JohnModel Test 2DictationComputersA computer is a machine that is able to handle information very quickly. / Hundreds of problems can be solved in just a few seconds with it. / The information that is needed to solve a problem is translated into numbers by the computer. / The computer solves the problem, and then the answer is translated into words. / Special machines are used to put information and instructions into the computer. / The computer records the information and stores it. / A large amount of information can be stored in a very small space. / This information is stored in the computer’s memeory unit. / Computers are used in many different ways. / Business and banks use computers to keep financial records. / In many industries computers are used to control other machines that make products. / Governments, hospitals, schools, and communication companies work with computers. / Special computers have been developed for rockets, airplanes, ships, and cars. / Some people have small computer systems in their homes. / Because computers have so many uses, the computer industry has become one of the largest industries in the world.CompositionLiving on Campus or Living Outside School?Nowadays, choosing a right living place became an important issue for college students. Some of them prefer to live alone by renting a room near school, while others prefer to live with classmates on campus. As for me, I like to live with classmates in group domitory on campus.There are several vital reasons for my opinion. First, it is very convenient to ask classmates questions about courses and have various discussions with them. The main task of students is to achieve outstanding academic performance rather than anything else. Living on campus benefits not only me but also my classmates as we can help each other. Second, it can make me have better personal relations. It is not enough to communicate with classmates and friends just in classroom. Instead we need see and talk to each other frequently in spare time so as to maintain friendship. Third, it can save me much time. Living outside school will absolutely cost me more time to go to classes and get back. Put all the wasted time together, and that is really a considerable amount. With the saved time, I can study longer to improve my GPA (Grade Point Average平均绩点；平均分). Meanwhile, I can also participate in more association activities in order to make new friends and enrich my school life.In conclusion, living on campus is the best choice for college students. It helps them to perform better in study and establish better personal relations. Contrarily, living off campus would produce adverse impact and therefore should be avoided.Note-writingJan. 2, 2012 Dear Bill,As the Spring Festival is drawing near, I am very gald to invite you to a dinner party with several other friends of ours. Would you like to come on time at 5: 00 pm today, to Room 6 ofHoliday Inn Hotel? I’m sure we will have a very good time and enjoy ourselves thoroughly.Yours,Fred。

(8)_____ among these are problems relating to the theory of art as form and (9)_____ the distinction between representation and expression.

(15)_____, it is devoted to articulating the response to the aesthetic object and to (16)_____ a particular way of perceiving it.Over the years, aesthetics has developed into a broad field of knowledge and inquiry. The concerns of contemporary aesthetics include such (17)_____ problems as the nature of style and its aesthetic significance; the relation of aesthetic judgment to culture; the (18)_____ of a history of art; the (19)_____ of Freudian psychology and other forms of psychological study to criticism; and the place of aesthetic judgment in practical (20)_____ in the conduct of everyday affairs.1.A. forB. asC. toD. with2.A.

The modern eye can derive aesthetic as well as antiquarian satisfaction (5)_____ the15,000-year-old cave murals of Lascaux -- some examples (6)_____ to the considerable powers of draftsmanship of these early artists. And painting, like other arts, exhibits universal qualities that (7)_____ for viewers of all nations and civilizations to understand and appreciate.The major (8)_____ examples of early painting anywhere in the world are found in Western Europe and the Soviet Union.

(10)_____, Western shared a European cultural tradition -- the Middle East and Mediterranean Basin and, later, the countries of the New World.Western painting is in general distinguished by its concentration (11)_____ the representation of the human (12)_____, whether in the heroic context of antiquity or the religious context of the early Christian and medieval world. The Renaissance (13)_____ this tradition through a (14)_____ examination of the natural world and an investigation of balance, harmony, and perspective in the visible world, linking painting (15)_____ the developing sciences of anatomy and optics. The first real (16)_____ from figurative painting came with the growth of landscape painting in the 17th and 18th centuries. The landscape and figurative traditions developed together in the 19th century in an atmosphere that was increasingly (17)_____ "painterly" qualities of the (18)_____ of light and color and the expressive qualities of paint handling. In the 20th century these interests (19)_____ to the development of a third major tradition in Western painting, abstract painting, which sought to (20)_____ and express the true nature of paint and painting through action and form.1.A. may have beenB. that may haveC. may haveD. that mayhave been2.A. seekB. soughtC. seek forD. sought for3.A. emergingB. emergencyC. mergingD. merger4.A.

The purpose of simulation is not to completely substitute (1)_____ actual flight training but to thoroughly familiarize students with the vehicle (2)_____ before they (3)_____ extensive and possibly dangerous actual flight training. Simulations also is useful for review and for familiarizing pilots with new (4)_____ to existing craft.Two early flight simulators appeared in England within a decade after the first flight of Orville and Wilbur Wright. They were designed to enable pilots to stimulate simple aircraft (5)_____ in three dimensions: nose up or down; left wing high and right low, or vice versa; and (6)_____ to left or right. It took until 1929, however, for a truly effective simulator, the Link Trainer, to appear, devised by Edwin A. Link, a self-educated aviator and inventor from Binghamton, New Y ork. (7)_____, airplane instrumentation had been developed sufficiently to permit "blind" flying on instruments alone, but training pilots to do so involved (8)_____ risk. Link built a model of an airplane cockpit equipped (9)_____ instrument panel and controls that could realistically stimulate all the movements of an airplane. Pilots could use the device for instrument training, manipulating the controls (10)_____ instrument readings so as to maintain straight and level flight or (11)_____ climb or descent with no visual reference (12)_____ any horizon except for the artificial one on the instrument panel. The trainer was modified (13)_____ aircraft technology advanced. Commercial airlines began to use the Link Trainer for pilot training, and the US government began purchasing them in 1934, (14)_____ thousands more as World War II approached.Technological advances during the war, particularly in electronics, helped to make the flight simulator increasingly (15)_____. The use of efficient analog computers in the early 1950s led to further improvements. Airplane cockpits, controls, and instrument displays had by then become so individualized that it was no longer feasible to use a generalized trainer to prepare pilots to fly anything (16)_____ the simplest light planes. By the 1950s, the US Air Force was using simulators that precisely(17)_____ the cockpits of its planes. During the early 1960s(18)_____ digital and hybrid computers were adopted, and their speed and flexibility revolutionized simulation systems. Further advances in computer and (19)_____ technology, notably the development of virtual-reality simulation, have made it possible to (20)_____ highly complex real-life conditions.1.

TEM-4

加强记忆和速记能力。有时候，听的内容都懂了，但由于记忆的问题或时间的问题没写下来，因此在平时的训练中，有意识地不是以单个的词而是以意群为单位进行理解和记忆；在短暂的停顿空间，如果时间来不及，可以选用自己熟悉的缩写形式或符号记录，等以后有时间时再复原。这种速记能力也要靠平时的多练，才能获得。
如果听到生词，或者是一个词突然记不起来怎么写了，不要慌，先留个位子，接着往后写。写完后，念第三、四遍的时候再回忆。如果实在是写不出来这个单词，不能留空，可以自己杜撰一个符合上下文语境的词。如果留了空，一句话不完整，就算做是一个broken sentence，这一句话都不能得分的。而写错了一个单词只扣0.5分
Passage
在听力过程中，语言信息通过考生具备的听力速度、听力素质及记忆力，及时、准确、完整地传递到大脑。大脑对语言信息进行分捡、提炼，揭示出其表层和深层的意思，然后通过文字再现出来，这个过程就是听力理解。理解力的强弱直接影响到答案的选择。从听力测试的内容、问题设计和四个选择项的表现形式看，理解主要在两个水平上：一是对语言信息表层意思的理解；二是对语言信息深层含义的理解。表层意思的理解取决于对信息表达形式的理解，属于思维的初级活动。深层含义的理解则需要对信息进行分析和提炼方能实现，属高级思维活动。听力测试的三个部分同时包含着这两种思维活动。
根据评分方式，学会取舍。因为听写的评分不是根据写出的单词个数多少而是以是否表达清楚原文的主要意思为依据，然后以是否有小的错误，如单复数?大小写?定冠词等分层次扣分，也就是说，扣分有主要和次要信息之分，因此听的时候也要分清重点和非重点；另外听写的全部内容根据意群分成15分，每个意群最多扣一分，如果在听的过程中有个别词或词组一下反应不出来，就不要苦苦纠缠单个的词，要跟着录音进行下一意群的听写，避免个别词或句的错漏影响对其它内容的听音。

TEM4写作资料

TEM 4写作资料PART I ESSAY WRITING1. Sample EssayThe Hazards of Movie-goingAlthough I love movies, I’ve found that there are drawbacks to movie-going. One problem is just the inconvenience of it all. To get to the theater, I have to drive for at least fifteen minutes, or more if traffic is bad. It can take forever to find a parking spot, and then I have to walk across a huge parking lot to the theater. There I encounter long lines, sold-out shows, and ever-increasing prices. And I hate sitting with my feet sticking to the floor because of other people ’s spilled snacks. Another problem is my lack of self-control at the theater. I often stuff myself with unhealthy calorie-laden snacks. My choices might include a bucket of popcorn, a box of Milk Duds, a giant soda, or all three. The worst problem is some of the other moviegoers. Kids run up and down the aisle. Teenagers laugh and shout at the screen. People of all ages drop soda cups and popcorn tubs, cough and burp, and talk to one another. All in all, I would rather stay home and wait to see the latest movie hits on cable TV in the comfort of my own living room.Introduction BodyConclusion2. Exercise for Topic Sentence Writinga)Storms are bad.b)The speed limit near my home is 65 miles per hour.c)Studying with others has several benefits, but it also has drawbacks and can be difficultto schedule.d)Many people have different opinions on whether people under 21 should be permitted todrink alcohol, and I agree with some of them.e)I like dogs better than cats.f)The four children in my family have completely different personalities.3. Unity Exercise ICigarette smoke is unhealthy even for people who don’t have the nicotine habit themselves. Secondhand smoke can cause asthmatics and sufferers of sinusitis serious problems. Doctors regularly advise heart patients to avoid confined smoky areas because coronary attacks might be triggered by the lack of clean air. Moreover, having the smell of smoke in one’s hair and clothes is a real nuisance. Even if a person is without any health problems, exhaled smoke doubles the amount of carbon monoxide in the air, a condition that may cause lung problems in the future.4. Unity Exercise II5. Coherence ExerciseFill in the blanks by using various forms of the key word.Thinking: A Neglected ArtWhat have we Americans done to promote the art of 1 ? Certainly we make no room for 2 in our daily lives. Suppose a man were to say to his friends, “I’m not going to PTA tonight (or choir practice or the baseball game) because I need som e time to myself, some time to 3 ”? Such a man would be shunned by his neighbors; his family would be ashamed of him. What if a teenager were to say, “I’m not going to the dance tonight because I need some time to 4 ”? His parents would immediately start looking in the Yellow Pages for a psychiatrist. We are all too much like Julius Caesar: we fear and distrust people who 5 too much. We believe that almost anything is more important than 6 .6. Coherence Exercise IIPlease rewrite the following paragraph by repeating the italicised words with their synonyms.We had a very good evening on Friday. After a meal at a very good Italian restaurant we went to a good film. I liked it because the actors were all so good and the plot was a good one as well. After-words we were in such a good mood that we decided to visit some good friends of ours and tell them all about our evening. They were very good about our calling round so late and I was glad that I was able to do them a good turn by mending their clockwhile we were there.I had a very nice childhood. I went to a very nice school in Scotland where the teacherswere all nice to the children and the lessons were always nice. It was in a very nice part of the country and it seems to me now that the weather was always nice. I thought it was especially nice in winter when it was nice to play in the snow. Our school uniform was very nice and school dinners were always nice. I wonder if it was really as nice as I think now or if I am just becoming old?7. Coherence Exercise IIIPlease revise the following paragraph to make it more coherent.Dear Joan,I’m sitting here at my desk writing to you. A big lawn surrounded by trees is outside my window and a flower bed is in the middle of the lawn. It was full of daffodils and tulips in the spring. You’d love it here. You must come and stay sometime; we’ve got plenty of room.Love Sally8. Sentence Writing ExercisePlease combine each group of short sentences into one lengthy sentence.a)Shakespeare has been the subject of study.The study is of enormous amount.Shakespeare has been studied by many nations.He has been studied through many generations.b)We have been studying him.Our study is in connection with Elizabethan drama.His work was a part of Elizabethan drama.c)Travel necessarily broadens a man’s mind.It is ridiculous to suggest such an idea under certain conditions.Many people just do not notice things.They do not know what there is for them to see.d)They want to find out the reasons for ideas.The ideas are new to them.They are interested enough to do so.9. Please rewrite the following paragraph to make it more coherent.Working in the neighborhood grocery store as a checker was one of the worst jobs I’ve ever had. I had to wear an ugly, scratchy uniform. It was cut at least three inches too short.My schedule of working hours was inconvenient. My hours changed each week. It was impossible to make plans in advance. Getting a day off was out of the question. The lack of working space bothered me. Except for a half-hour break, I was restricted to three square feet of room behind the counter. I felt like a cog in the cash register.PART II NOTE WRITINGTEM 2001:Yesterday you failed to turn up for the appointment with your teacher, Profess Wang.

模拟题：专业四级TEM-4练习2阅读B—专业英语考试【精编】

模拟题：专业四级TEM-4练习2阅读B—专业英语考试【精编】模拟题:专业四级TEM-4练习2阅读B—专业英语考试ReadingDirections: There are 11 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A)， B)， C) and D)。

Passage 1Questions 1 to 3 are based on the following passage:Canals are watercourses constructed to improve and extend natural waterways. They are generally built to facilitate transportation，but from the beginning they have been used for many additional purposes including draining swamps， irrigating land for cultivation，and promoting economic development.Canals are often classified by the size of vessel they can accommodate. Some small local canals， which are able to float only 100 to 300 ton boats or small rafts of timber， may be only 3 feet deep. Major barge canals generally range from 6 to 9 feet in depth，and some are as much as 10 or 12 feet deep. These canals can carry 1，350 to 2，000 ton craft. Ship canals are 25 feet or more deep and are capable of accommodating large vessels in the seagoing class.Canals may also be classified as either water level or lock canals. Water level canals do not vary in height along their courses. The best known of these is the Suez Canal， which is at sea level.Lock canals， which include most modern waterways， contain locks，or special devices for raising and lowering boats along their courses by changing the depth of the water. Each lock is a stretch of water enclosed by gates at each end. After a boat enters the lock，wateris let or drained out until it reaches approximately the same level as the water ahead.1. What does the passage mainly discuss,A. How canals are constructed.B. Common types of canal boats and barges.C. The world‘s largest canals.D. How canals are used and classified.正确答案是2. What is the purpose of a canal lock,A. To keep out boats that are too large for the canal.B. To measure the tonnage of canal boats.C. To load and unload the cargo.D. To change the depth of the water.正确答案是3. The Suez Canal is mentioned as an example of a ______.A. modern canalB. water level canalC. lock canalD. irrigation canal正确答案是Passage 2Questions 4 to 7 are based on the following passage:Glacier National Park in Montana shares boundaries with Canada，an American Indian reservation， and a national forest. Along the North Fork of the Flathead River， the park also borders about 17，000 acres of private lands that are currently used for ranching，timber， and agriculture. This land is an important part of the habitat and migratory routes for several endangered species that frequent the park. These private lands are essentially the only ones available for development in the region.With encouragement from the park， local landowners initiated a land use planning effort to guide the future of the North Fork. The park is a partner in an inter-local agreement that calls for resource managing agencies to work together and with the more than 400 private owners in the area. A draft plan has been prepared， with objective of maintaining traditional economic uses but limiting new development that would damage park resources. Voluntary action by landowners， incooperation with the park and the county， is helping to restrict small lot subdivisions， maintain wildlife corridors， and minimizeany harmful impact on the environment.The willingness of local landowners to participate in this protection effort may have been stimulated by concerns that congress would impose a legislative solution. Nevertheless， many local residents want to retain the existing character of the area. Meetings between park officials and landowners have led to a dramatically improved understanding of all concerns.4. The passage mainly discusses ______.A. the endangered species in Glacier National ParkB. the protection of lands surrounding Glacier National ParkC. conservation laws imposed by the state of MontanaD. conservation laws imposed by Congress正确答案是5. Why are the private lands surrounding Glacier National Park so important,A. They function as a hunting preserve.B. They are restricted to government use.C. They are heavily populated.D. They contain natural habitats of threatened species.正确答案是6. The relationship between park officials and neighboring landowners ma y best be described as _____.A. indifferentB. intimateC. cooperativeD. disappointing正确答案是7. It can be inferred from the passage that a major interest of the officials of Glacier National Park is to ______.A. limit land development around the parkB. establish a new park in MontanaC. influence national legislationD. settle border disputes with Canada正确答案是Passage 3Questions 8 to 11 are based on the following passage:Most earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earth‘s surface. But earthquakes can and do occur at all depths to about 460 miles. Their number decreases as the depth increases. At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years. Near the surface earthquakes may run as high as 100 in a month， but the yearlyaverage does not vary much. In comparison with the total number of earthquakes each year， the number of disastrous earthquakes is very small.The extent of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors. If you carefully build a toy house with an erect set， it will still stand no matter how much you shake the table. But if you build a toy house with a pack of cards， a slight shake of the tablewill make it fall. An earthquake in Agadir， Morocco， was notstrongenough to be recorded on distant instruments， but it completely destroyed the city. Many stronger earthquakes have donecomparatively little damage. If a building is well constructed and built on solid ground， it will resist an earthquake. Most deaths in earthquakes have been due to faulty building construction or poor building sites.A third and very serious factor is panic. When people rush out into narrow streets， more deaths will result.The United Nations has played an important part in reducing the damage done by earthquakes. It has sent a team of experts to all countries known to be affected by earthquakes. Working with local geologists and engineers， the experts have studied the nature of the ground and the type of most practical building code for the local area. If followed， these suggestions will make disastrousearthquakes almost a thing of the past.There is one type of earthquake disaster that little can be done about. This is the disaster caused by seismic sea waves， or tsunamis.(These are often called tidal waves， but the name is incorrect.They have nothing to do with tides.) In certain areas， earthquakes take place beneath the sea. These submarine earthquakes sometimes give rise to seismic sea waves. The waves are not noticeable out at sea because of their long wave length. But when they roll into harbors，they pile up into walls of water 6 to 60 feet high. The Japanese call them “tsunamis”，meaning “harbor waves”， becausethey reach a sizable height only in harbors. Tsunamis travel fairly slowly， at speeds up to 500 miles an hour. An adequate warning systemis in use to warn all shores likely to be reached by the waves. But this only enables people to leave the threatened shores for higher ground. There is no way to stop the oncoming wave.8. Which of the following CAN NOT be concluded from the passage,A. The number of earthquakes is closely related to depth.B. Roughly the same number of earthquakes occur each year.C. Earthquakes are impossible at depths over 460 miles.D. Earthquakes are most likely to occur near the surfaces.正确答案是9. The destruction of Agadir is an example of ______.A. faulty building constructionB. an earthquake‘s strengthC. widespread panic in earthquakesD. ineffective instruments正确答案是10. The Uni ted Nations‘ experts are supposed to ______.A. construct strong buildingsB. put forward proposalsC. detect disastrous earthquakesD. monitor earthquakes正确答案是11. The significance of the slow speed of tsunamis is that peoplemay ______.A. notice them out at seaB. find ways to stop themC. be warned early enoughD. develop warning systems正确答案是Passage 4Questions 12 to 15 are based on the following passage:Before the mid-1860‘s， the impact of the railroads in the United States was limited， in the sense that the tracks ended at this Missouri River， approximately the center of the country. At the point the trains turned their freight， mail， and passengers over to steamboats，wagons， and stagecoaches. This meant that wagon freighting， stage-coaching， and steam-boating did not come to an end when the first train appeared; rather they became supplements or feeders. Each new “end-of-track” became a center for animal drawnor waterborne transportation. The major effect of the railroad wastoshorten the distance that had to be covered by the older， slower，and more costly means. Wagon freighters continued operating throughout the 1870’s and 1880‘s and into the 1890’s. Although over constantly shrinking routes， and coaches and wagons continued to crisscross the West wherever the rails hadnot yet been laid. The beginning of a major change was foreshadowed in the later 1860‘s， when the Union Pacific Railroadat last began to build westward from the Central Plains city of Omaha to meet the Central Pacific Railroad advancing eastward from California through the formidable barrier of the Sierra Nevada. Although President Abraham Lincoln signed the original Pacific Railroad bill in 1862 and a revised， financially much more generousversion in 1864， little construction was completed until 1865 onthe Central Pacific and 1866 on the Union Pacific. The primary reason was skepticism that a Railroad built through so challenging and thinly settled a stretch of desert， mountain， and semiarid plain could paya profit. In the words of an economist， this was a case of“premature enterprise”， where not only the cost of construction but also the very high risk deterred private investment. In discussing the Pacific Railroad bill， the chair of the congressional committee bluntly stated that without government subsidy no onewould undertake so unpromising a venture; yet it was a national necessityto link East and West together.12. The author refers to the impact of railroads before the late 1860‘s as “limited” because ______.A. the track did not take the direct route from one city to the nextB. passengers and freight had to transfer to other modes of transportation to reach western destinationsC. passengers preferred stagecoachesD. railroad travel was quite expensive正确答案是13. What can be inferred about coaches and wagon freighters as the railroad expanded,A. They developed competing routes.B. Their drivers refused to work for the railroads.C. They began to specialize in private investment.D. There were insufficient numbers of trained people to operate them.正确答案是14. Why does the author mention the Sierra Nevada in line 17,A. To argue that a more direct route to the West could have been taken.B. To identify a historically significant mountain range in the West.C. To point out the location of a serious train accident.D. To give an example of an obstacle faced by the central pacific.正确答案是15. The word “subsidy” in line 27 is closest in meaning to ______.A. persuasionB. financingC. explanationD. penalty正确答案是Passage 5Questions 16 to 19 are based on the following passage:Certainly no creature in the sea is odder than the common sea cucumber. All living creature， especially human beings， have their peculiarities， but everything about the little sea cucumber seems unusual. What else can be said about a bizarre animal that， among other eccentricities， eats mud， feeds almost continuously day and night but can live without eating for long periods， and can be poisonous but is considered supremely edible by gourmets,For some fifty million years， despite all its eccentricities，the sea cucumber has subsisted on its diet of mud. It is adaptable enough to live attached to rocks by its tube feet， under rocks in shallow water， or on the surface of mud flats. Common in cool water on both Atlantic and Pacific shores， it has the ability to suck up mud or sand and digest whatever nutrients are present.Sea cucumbers come in a variety of colors， ranging from black to reddish brown to sand color and nearly white. One form even hasvivid purple tentacles. Usually the creatures are cucumber shaped ——bhence their name —— and because they are typically rockinhabitants， this shape， combined with flexibility， enables them to squeeze into crevices where they are safe from predators and ocean currents.Although they have voracious appetites， eating day and night，sea cucumbers have the capacity to become quiescent and live at alow metabolic rate feeding sparingly or not at all for long periods， so that the marine organisms that provide their food have a chance to multiply. If it were not for this faculty， they would devour all the food available in a short time and would probably starve themselves out of existence.But the most spectacular thing about the sea cucumber is the way it defends itself. Its major enemies are fish and crabs， when attacked， it squirts all its internal organs into water. It also casts off attached structures such as tentacles. The sea cucumber will eviscerate and regenerate itself if it is attacked or even touched; it will do the same if the surrounding water temperature is too high or if the water becomes too polluted.16. According to the passage， why is the shape of sea cucumbersimportant,A. It helps them to digest their food.B. It helps them to protect themselves from danger.C. It makes it easier for them to move through the mud.D. It makes them attractive to fish.正确答案是17. The fourth paragraph of the passage primarily discusses ______.A. the reproduction of sea cucumbersB. the food sources of sea cucumbersC. the eating habits of sea cucumbersD. threats to sea cucumbers‘ existence正确答案是18. What can be inferred about the defense mechanisms of the seacucumber,A. They are very sensitive to surrounding stimuli.B. They are almost useless.C. They require group cooperation.D. They are similar to those of most sea creatures.正确答案是19. Which of the following would NOT cause a sea cucumber to release its internal organs into the water,A. A touch.B. Food.C. Unusually warm water.D. Pollution.正确答案是Passage 6Questions 20 to 21 are based on the following passage:Human beings have used tools for a very long time. In some parts of the world you can still find tools that people used more than two million years ago. They made these tools by hitting one stone against another. In this way， they broke off pieces from one of the stones. These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side. People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals， and also for makingother tools out of wood. Human beings needed to use tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat eating animals， such as lions and tigers. Tools helped people to get food more easily.Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence. The human brain grew bigger， and human beings began to invent more and more tools and machines. The stone chip was one of the first tools that people used， and perhaps it is the most important. Some scientists say that it was the key to success of mankind.Since 1960 a new kind of tool has appeared. This is the siliconchip —— a little chip of silicon crystal. It is smaller than a finger nail，but it can store more than a million “bits” ofinformation. It is an electronic brain.Every year these chips get cleverer， but their size gets smaller，and their cost gets less. They are used in watches， calculators and intelligent machines that we can use in many ways.In the future we will not need to work with tools in the old way. Machines will do everything for us. They will even talk and play games with us. People will have plenty of spare time. But what will they do with it,Human beings used stone chips for more than two million years，but human life changed very little in that time. We have usedsilicon chips for only a few years， but life is changing faster every day.What will life be like twenty years from now, What will the world belike two million years from now,20. The stone chip is thought to be the most important tool because it ______.A. was one of the first toolsB. developed human capabilitiesC. led to the invention of machinesD. was crucial to the development of mankind正确答案是21. At the end of the passage the author seems to suggest that life in future is ______.A. disastrousB. unpredictableC. excitingD. colorful正确答案是Passage 7Questions 22 to 26 are based on the following passage:California is a land of variety and contrast. Almost every type of physical land feature， sort of arctic ice fields and tropical jungles can be found within its borders. Sharply contrasting types of land often lie very close to one another.People living in Bakersfield， for instance， can visit thePacific Ocean and the coastal plain， the fertile San Joaquin Valley，the arid Mojave Desert， and the high Sierra Nevada， all within a radius of about 100 miles. In other areas it is possible to go snow skiing in the morning and surfing in the evening of the same day，without having to travel long distance.Contrast abounds in California. The highest point in the United States (outside Alaska ) is in California， and so is the lowest point (including Alaska)。

英语专业四级（TEM4）考试过关大攻略（完整版）

英语专业四级（TEM4）考试过关大攻略（完整版）提高听力水平的建议1. 首先要克服心理障碍：由于考场的紧张气氛，听力的瞬间、暂时性，考生在听之前，生怕听不懂，听觉紧张，越怕就越不能专心，或有个别词汇一下子听不出，而苦苦绞尽脑汁的想，而影响对下边的内容的注意力。

因此，考生平时要有意识地训练自己的心理素质，参加一些模拟考试，培养对考场的适应能力，扫除恐惧心理，训练自己整体理解而非逐字逐句理解的意识，用上下文进行推测的能力。

从而做到“精神集中而不紧张，注意力专注但不停留”。

2. 听力测试考生获取口头信息的能力，而英语可分成诸如书面语、正式、非正式、口语体等语域，它们在用词、句法等方面都有所不同，因此考生不仅要熟悉英、美不同的语音、语调、单词，而且在学习书面语的同时，注意口头语的表达方式、用词、句型结构、升降调所表示的不同的感情色彩。

只有坚持不懈的长期进行泛听，听不同题材、不同内容、不同性别、不同语音语调，甚至于同一单词的不同读音，才能稳步提高听力技能。

3. 在各部分题目前试题册上都印有一段题目指令，磁带上也录有相应指令，由于每年考试这部分指令都基本相同，考生只要熟悉这些内容，就可以节约下录有指令的这段时间，利用其提前阅读试题的问题及干扰项。

4. 有目的的听：听力与语法、阅读不同，可以读完再回读，她的内容是暂时、一次性的，因此学会抓要点、关键词，以意群为单位理解全文，就变的相当重要。

在四级考试的听力部分中，问题都已印在考卷上，考生先看了问题，心中有数，就知道有针对性的有选择地听原文，听的时候，抓相关信息，滤除不相关的内容，从而减轻听的负担，以提高听的有效性，同时，通过阅读干扰项，多些背景提示，再分析四个选择项的异同，以此作为线索，听的时候，有的放矢。

5. 培养用英语思维的习惯：由于受母语的干扰，中国学生在听的过程中习惯于在大脑中先把英语翻译成母语进行理解，然后再翻译成英语回答，而听的内容常常一瞬即逝，因此在平时学习中，考生要用英英字典，用英语的概念去解释诠释，从而避免把英语翻译成母语，再翻译成英语的习惯。

英语4级考试真题2023年12月第二套全文共10篇示例，供读者参考篇1Hey guys, do you want to hear about my experience taking the English Level 4 exam in December 2023? It was pretty intense, but I managed to get through it with flying colors!So, the exam had a bunch of sections like listening, reading, writing, and speaking. The listening part was kind of tricky because they played some recordings and I had to answer questions about them. But I listened carefully and did my best to understand what was being said.The reading section was not too bad, I think I did pretty well on that part. They gave us some passages to read and then asked us questions about them.
