大学英语四级考试模考参考答案As a person, we must have independent thoughts and personality.大学英语四级考试预测试题答案Part I Writing【范文】Dama square dance culture has generated some controversy recently. In my opinion, square dance has exceptional advantages of enriching senior citizens’ lives.First of all, there is no doubt that Dama square dance can play an important role in improving the elderly’s health. Doing square dance may help cure some chronic diseases, thus lowering the costs of health care for the elderly. Secondly, this group activity has a social function for the lonely and helpless senior citizens, especially those from other cities. It offers a golden opportunity to make friends and communicate with one another. Finally, Damas do not need to spend any money on square dance.In order to avoid disturbing people in the neighborhood, we should impose some restrictions on the “timing” and “music volume” of square dance. For instance, square dance should finish before 7 ., and music volume should be turned down to such an extent so as not to affect other people’s life.Government should also draft relevant regulations as soon as possible.Part II Listening Comprehension1.

He set up private schools, enrolling and educating disciples, and created his own ethics with “benevolence” as the core. It’s said that he had 3,000 disciples and he led some of them to visit various states. His views and dialogues with his disciples were collected and compiled into TheAnalects of Confucius, which has been read through all ages.

英语四级模拟考试附上翻译答案

英语四级模拟考试附上翻译答案

:英语四级模拟考试附上翻译答案Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions:1. For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: The Impact of Social Media on Students. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. 标准范文:The Impact of Social Media on StudentsIn the digital age, social media has become an integral part of students' lives. On one hand, it provides a platform for communication, collaboration, and access to educational resources. Students can easily connect with peers, join study groups, and share knowledge. This interaction can enhance learning experiences and help students stay informed about academic updates.However, the excessive use of social media can negatively impact students' academic performance and mental health. Spending too much time online can lead to distractions, reduce productivity, and cause procrastination. Moreover, the constant exposure to carefully curated images and posts can create unrealistic expectations, leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.Therefore, it is essential for students to use social media wisely. By maintaining a balance between online activities and academic responsibilities, students can harness the benefits of social media while minimizing its negative effects.Part II 阅读理解(40分钟)Section ADirections:1. In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Passage:With the development of technology, social media platforms have become an indispensable part of people's lives. While they provide a means of communication and information sharing, they also have significant impacts on students.Firstly, social media can serve as a powerful tool for education. Many students use social media to connect with their peers, collaborate on projects, and access educational resources. For example, educational groups on Facebook and study communities on platforms like Reddit allow students to share knowledge and study materials.However, the overuse of social media can lead to negative consequences. One of the main concerns is the impact on students' academic performance. Spending too much time on social media can lead to a lack of focus and decreased productivity. Moreover, the constant exposure to online content can result in information overload, which may hinder students' ability to process and retain information.Another issue is the effect of social media on students' mental health. Studies have shown that excessive use of social media can contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. This is particularly concerning for students, as mental health is crucial for their overall well-being and academic success.In conclusion, while social media offers numerous benefits for students, it is important to use it in moderation to avoid its potential negative effects.Word Bank:A) indispensableB) productivityC) communicateD) collaborateE) consequencesF) hinderG) accessH) excessiveI) contentJ) academicK) exposureL) overloadM) retainN) mentalO) concernQuestions:1. Social media platforms have become an _______ part of people's lives.2. Many students use social media to _______ with their peers.3. Overuse of social media can lead to negative _______.4.

The _______ exposure to online content can have negative effects on students.9. _______ health is crucial for students' well-being and academic success.10. Social media can serve as a powerful tool for _______.Section BDirections:In this section, you will read several passages. Each passage is followed by several 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.Passage OneThe rapid advancement of technology has transformed many aspects of modern life, particularly the way we communicate. With the rise of smartphones and social media platforms, people are now able to stay connected with friends and family more easily than ever before. However, these technological developments have also brought about challenges, especially in terms of maintaining privacy and security.One of the most significant concerns is the amount of personal information that people share online. Social media platforms encourage users to share details about their lives, from their daily activities to their personal preferences. While this can be a fun way to keep in touch with others, it also poses risks. For instance, sharing too much information can make individuals vulnerable to identity theft and other cybercrimes.Another issue is the impact of constant connectivity on people's mental health. Studies have shown that excessive use of social media can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. This is partly due to the pressure to present a perfect image online, which can create unrealistic expectations and feelings of inadequacy.Despite these challenges, technology also offers many benefits. For example, it allows people to stay informed about current events, access educational resources, and connect with others who share similar interests. The key is to use technology wisely and be aware of the potential risks.Questions:1. What is one of the main concerns associated with the rise of social media?A) The lack of privacy and security.B) The decline in traditional communication methods.C) The high cost of technology.D) The difficulty in accessing information.2. Why does sharing too much personal information online pose a risk?A) It can lead to unrealistic expectations.B) It can make individuals vulnerable to cybercrimes.C) It can reduce the effectiveness of communication.D) It can create feelings of loneliness.3. What is a negative effect of excessive use of social media on mental health?A) It can increase one's knowledge of current events.B) It can lead to feelings of anxiety and depression.C) It can help people stay connected with friends.D) It can reduce the risk of identity theft.4. What does the author suggest about the use of technology?A) It should be avoided due to its risks.B) It should be used wisely while being aware of the risks.C) It should be encouraged in all aspects of life.D) It should be limited to professional use.Passage TwoAs climate change becomes an increasingly pressing issue, governments around the world are looking for ways to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable practices. One of the most effective strategies is to invest in renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower.Solar energy, in particular, has seen significant growth in recent years. Advances in technology have made solar panels more efficient and affordable, leading to widespread adoption. Similarly, wind energy has also become a major player in the renewable energy market, with large wind farms being established in many countries.However, the transition to renewable energy is not without its challenges. One of the main obstacles is the intermittent nature of these energy sources. Unlike fossil fuels, which can provide a steady supply of energy, solar and wind power are dependent on weather conditions. This makes it difficult to ensure a constant energy supply.Another challenge is the need for significant investment in infrastructure. Building and maintaining renewable energy facilities requires substantial financial resources, which can be a barrier for developing countries.Despite these challenges, the shift towards renewable energy is essential for addressing climate change. By reducing reliance on fossil fuels, countries can decrease their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.Questions:1. What is one of the most effective strategies for reducing carbon emissions?A) Increasing fossil fuel production.B) Investing in renewable energy sources.C) Reducing the use of technology.D) Limiting industrial growth.2 Why has solar energy seen significant growth in recent years?A) It has become more efficient and affordable.B) It is less dependent on weather conditions.C) It requires minimal investment in infrastructure.D) It provides a steady supply of energy.3. What is a major challenge associated with renewable energy?A) It is too expensive for developed countries.B) It is not as efficient as fossil fuels.C) It is dependent on weather conditions.D) It has a higher carbon footprint.4. What does the author suggest about the shift towards renewable energy?A) It is not necessary for addressing climate change.B) It requires a balanced approach with fossil fuels.C) It is essential for promoting sustainable practices.D) It is unlikely to be adopted globally.Passage ThreeAs technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an integral part of many industries. From healthcare to finance, AI is being used to improve efficiency, enhance decision-making, and streamline operations. However, the rise of AI has also raised concerns about job displacement and ethical implications.In the healthcare industry, AI is being used to analyze medical data, diagnose diseases, and even assist in surgeries. This has led to significant improvements in patient care and outcomes. In finance, AI is being used to detect fraud, manage investments, and predict market trends. These applications have helped businesses operate more effectively and reduce risks. Despite these benefits, there are also challenges associated with the widespread use of AI. One of the main concerns is the potential for job displacement. As AI systems become more advanced, they may replace human workers in certain roles, leading to unemployment and social inequality.Another concern is the ethical implications of AI. As AI systems are programmed by humans, they may reflect the biases and prejudices of their creators. This raises questions about fairness and accountability in AI decision-making processes.In conclusion, while AI offers many benefits, it is important to address the challenges it presents to ensure that its use is ethical and equitable.Questions:1. How is AI being used in the healthcare industry?A) To replace doctors and nurses.B) To improve patient care and outcomes.C) To reduce the cost of healthcare.D) To increase the number of medical professionals.2. What is one of the concerns associated with AI?A) It will make healthcare more expensive.B) It will reduce efficiency in finance.C) It may lead to job displacement.D) It will decrease market trends.3. What does the author suggest about the use of AI?A) It should be promoted without any restrictions.B) It should be carefully monitored for ethical implications.C) It should be limited to certain industries.D) It is likely to replace all human workers.Part III Translation (30 minutes)Directions:1. Translate the following passage into Chinese.原文:As the global population continues to grow, the demand for energy is increasing. However, the reliance on fossil fuels has led to environmental degradation and climate change.

Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1~7, markY (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN)if the information is not given in the passage.For questions 8~10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.The T rouble with T elevisionIt is difficult to escape the influence of television. If you fit the statistical averages, by the age of 20 you will have been exposed to at least 20,000 hours of television. Y ou can add10,000 hours for each decade you have lived after the age of 20. The only things Americans do more than watch television are work and sleep.Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelors degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. Y ou could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, youcould be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn t, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it.The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest,the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate onanything. But television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instantgratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television s variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guidedtour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television, typically, the spans allotted arc on theorder of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占)one of the mostprecious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it.Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constantfear of losing anyone s attention—anyone s. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constantstimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite simply, television operates on the appeal to the short attention span.It is simply the easiest way out. But it has come to be regarded as a given, as inherent in the medium itself; as an imperative, as though General Sarnoff, or one of the other augustpioneers of video, had bequeathed(遗留;传于)to us tablets of stone commanding that nothing in television shall ever require more than a few moments Concentration.In its place that is fine. Who can quarrel with a medium that so brilliantly packages escapist entertainment as a mass marketing tool? But I see its values now pervading this nationand its life. It has become fashionable to think that, like fast food, fast ideas are the way to get to a fast moving, impatient public.In the case of news, this practice, in my view, results in inefficient communication. I question how much of television s nightly news effort is really absorbable and understandable.Much of it is what has been aptly described as “machine gunning with scraps.”I think the technique fights coherence. I think it tends to make things ultimately boring (unless theyare accompanied by horrifying pictures) because almost anything is boring if you know almost nothing about it.I believe that TV s appeal to the short attention span is not only inefficient communication but decivilizing as well. Consider the casual assumptions that television tends tocultivate: that complexity must be avoided, that visual stimulation is a substitute for thought, thatverbal precision is an anachronism. It may be old fashioned, but I was taughtthat thought is words, arranged in grammatically precise.There is a crisis of literacy in this country. One study estimates that some 30 million adult Americans are “functionally illiterate” and cannot read or write well enough to answer thewant ad or understand the instructions on a medicine bottle.Literacy may not be an inalienable human right, but it is one that the highly literate Founding Fathers might not have found unreasonable or even unattainable. We are not only notattaining it as a nation, statistically speaking, but we are falling further and further short of attaining it. And, while I would not be so simplistic as to suggest that television is thecause, I believe it contributes and is an influence.Everything about this nation—the structure of the society, its forms of family organization, its economy, its place in the world—has become more complex, not less. Y et itsdominating communications instrument, its principal form of national linkage, is one that sells neat resolutions to human problems that usually have no neat resolutions. It is allsymbolized in my mind by the hugely successful art form that television has made central to the culture, the 30 second commercial: the tiny drama of the earnest housewife whofinds happiness in choosing the right toothpaste.When before in human history has so much humanity collectively surrendered so much of its leisure to one toy, one mass diversion? When before has virtually an entire nationsurrendered itself wholesale to a medium for selling?Some years ago Y ale University law professor Charles L. Black. Jr. wrote: “… forced feeding on trivial fare is not itself a trivial matter. I think this society is being forced, fed with trivialfare, and I fear that the effects on our habits of mind, our language, our tolerance for effort, and our appetite for complexity are only dimly perceived. If I am wrong, we will havedone no harm to look at the issue skeptically and critically, to consider how we should be residing it. I hope yo u will join with me in doing so.”注意:此部分试题在答题卡1上作答;8~10题在答题卡1上。

英语四级模拟试题及答案1Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题,每小题2分,共40分)Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:In Washington D.C., 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a very special address. It is the address of the White House, the home of the president of the United States.Originally the White House was gray and was called the Presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. at this time, the city of Washington itself was being built; it was to be the nation’s new capital city. George Washington, the first president, and Pierre Charles L’Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L’Enfant then planned they city. The presid ent’s home was an important part of the plan.A contest was held to pick a design for the president’s home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone.President Washington never lived in the President Palace. The first president to live there was John Adams, the secondpresident of the United States, and his wife Mrs. Adams did not really like hew new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm!In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. Theu burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace.After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the president’s homes. To co ver the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1.5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.1. The White House was built in Washington .A. because a French engineer was invited to design itB. because President George Washington liked to live in itC. because the British invaders lived in it in 1812-1814D. because it was to be the nation’s capital city2. The Presidential Palace was .A. painted gray and whiteB. made of gray stoneC. made of white stoneD. made very warm in winter3. The president’s home and the city of Washington were .A. built by the American armyB. built by the British troopsC. planned by George WashingtonD. planned by the French4. The original home of the president needed to be rebuilt .A. because John Adam’s wife did not like itB. because it was cold in winter even with 50 fireplacesC. because it had burned down during the warD. because George Washington was not willing to live in it5. The new presidential home was painted white to .A. cover the marks of fireB. attract tourist from FranceC. to please Mrs. John AdamsD. keep it warm in winterPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:There are two kinds of memory: shot-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, and native-speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered, each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s resultssuggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.6. Henning made the experiment in order to study .A. how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memoryB. how students learn English vocabularyC. how to develop students’ ability in EnglishD. how long information in short-term memory is kept7. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.8. From Henning’s result we can see that .A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB. advanced students remember words by their meaningC. it is difficult to remember words that sound alikeD. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning9. The word “subjects” in the passage means .A. memoryB. the theme of listening materialC. a branch of knowledge studiedD. the students experimented onPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:The cowboy is the hero of many movies,. He is, even today, a symbol of courage and adventure. But what was the life of the cowboy really like?The cowboy’s job is clear from the word cowboy. Cowboy were men who took care of cows and other cattle. The cattle were in the West and in Texas. People in the cities of the East wanted beef these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east. But first the cattle had to get to the trains. Part of the cowboy’s job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad town. The trips were called cattle drivers. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode so much, each cowboy brought along about eight horses. A cowboy changed horses several times each day.The cowboys had to make sure that cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive, the cowboys branded the cattle. They burned a mark on the cattle to show who they belonged to. But these marks didn’t stop rustlers, or cattle thieves. Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rustlers. Rustlers made the dangerous trip even more dangerous.Even though their work was very difficult and dangerous, cowboys did not earn much money. They were paid badly. Yet cowboys liked their way of life. They lived in a wild and open country. They lived a life of adventure and freedom.11. A cowboy is a symbol of .A. courage and adventureB. a hard life and big payC. movies in the pastD. cows and other cattle12. The cowboys’ job was .A. to be a hero in real lifeB. to be a hero of the movieC. to take care of cattleD. to be a dangerous rustler13. During a cattle driver, cowboys took a group of cows froma wild and open country to .A. the West states and TexasB. the cities of the East StatesC. the people who eat beef in citiesD. the railroad towns hundred miles away14. On their way of cattle drivers, the cowboys protected the cattle by .A. burning a mark on their cowsB. keeping an eye on cattle thievesC. making the trip more dangerousD. looking after eight cows each person15. Cowboys enjoyed themselves because .A. they liked their way of lifeB. they made a lot of moneyC. they had a vary difficult jobD. they were heroes in moviesPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Successful innovations have driven many older technologies to extinction and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand of raw materials, accelerated flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use each person. The history of industrial development abounds with examples.In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U.S. farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological turn of mind. Had they been “economists”, theywould probably have projected the 1970 horses or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been “technologists”, they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to learn and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.16. According to the passage, what supplied most of the power on U.S. farms in 1870?A. AnimalsB. HumansC. EnginesD. Water17. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a consequence of new technological developments?A. Older technologies die away.B. The quality of life is Improved.C. Overall productivity increase.D. More raw materials become necessary.18. It can be inferred from the passage that by 1870 .A. technology began to be more economicalB. the steam engine had been inventedC. the U.S. horse population was about 10 millionD. a national commission was about 10 million19. In the second paragraph, the author suggests that “economists” would .A. plan the economy through yearly forecastsB. fail to consider the influence of technological innovationC. value the economic contribution of farm animalsD. consult the national commission on the economy20. What is the author’s attitude toward changes brought on by technological innovations?A. He is excited about them.B. He accept them as natural.C. He is disturbed by them.D. He questions their usefulness.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:This semester I began to have a series of teacher nightmares, something that had not happened to me for years, not since my first year of teaching when I was in a perpetual state of dread. I would be rushing to get to class on time, trying to gather up notes from a maelstrom of papers on my desk, not certain what subject we were covering today, indeed not even certain what course I was teaching. My heart was pounding. I was late. I would not find my notes. A hundred people were waiting for me in the classroom, their pens poised to take down my every syllable, and I had nothing to say. Them Mr. Winthrop’s big blonde face with those dark eyes would loom at the door of my office, and with that mocking grin, he would say, “Pro fessor, the class is waiting for you,” and I would faint dead onto the floor. Or sometimes in my dream I would make it to the podium (讲台), start to lecture on some aspect of criminal law or causation, only to have Mr. Winthrop raise his hand, and without even waiting to be called upon, presumably ask a question. Presumably because I could not make out his words. I could see his mouth moving underneath his baseball cap, and muffled sounds resounded in my ears, but I could not understand him. All eyes in the classroom were on me, and my students began to laugh, but not Mr. Winthrop. He continued to move his mouth, and I felt as if I was watching TV with the sound off except that my head was all a buzz with the laughter and the shuffling of feet as my students exited in disgust. Again, I ended the nightmare by fainting dead away onto the floor, and then I would wake up, my sheets damp from desperation. It was enough to make a man get out of bedand mix a drink at four in the morning even if he had the eight o’cl ock class.16. From this passage, it is indicated that .A. the first year of teaching is unforgettable and frightening for me foreverB. nightmares have happened to me more often than not since my first year of teachingC. in my first year of teaching, I was always full of fearsD. as a teacher, I feel uneasy all the time17. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. I was quite clear about the subject I was to deal with before class.B. I would give the lectures on time.C. I prepared the notes carefully before class. However, I forgot to take them with me to the classroom.D. My heart was beating faster and faster before class.18. Mr. Winthrop is .A. a presumable studentB. a baseball loverC. the student who often teases the teacherD. the student who answers the teacher’s question in a humorous way19. In my nightmare, it would happen to me except that .A. I sometimes was very calm to see that my students were in disguiseB. when I gave the lecture, Mr. Minthrop was the only student to ask a questionC. I often fall down to the floor losing my consciousness before I woke upD. I would rather wake up to have a good drink in the earlymorning than have the nightmare20. The tone of this passage is .A. provokingB. sensationalC. desperateD. profoundPart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题,每小题1分,共40分)Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.

For questions 8 to10, com plete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Using the mind to fight diseasesPsychology has a new application in the field of medicine. Many doctors, toget her with their patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems. In large hospitals and research centers, modern methods of therapy see m to focus on the physical disease without considering the patients' mental state. Patients may feel that they are being treated impersonally, like broken machines. S ome doctors have recognized this as a problem. They are now using psychological therapy with patients to use their own minds to fight their diseases. Because the patient is working with the medicine and the doctors against the disease, his or he r attitude changes. The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cur e him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fight.Mental therapyThe doctor knows that a disease affects a patient's body physically. The body of the patient (in this case, a man) changes because of the disease. He is not o nly physically affected, but as the physician knows, he also has an emotional resp onse to the disease. Because his mind is affected, his attitude and behavior chang e. The medical treatment might cure the patient's physical problems, but the patient 's mind must fight the emotional ones. For example, the studies of one doctor, Car l Simonton, M. D., have shown that a typical cancer patient (in this case, a woma n) has predictable attitudes. She typically feels depressed, upset, and angry. Her s elf-image is poor and she feels self-pity. As a result, her behavior changes. Becau se of her constant depression, she acts unfriendly toward her family, friends, doctor s, and nurses. Such attitudes and behaviors prevent the patient from getting well. Therefore, a doctor's treatment must help the patient change her attitudes. Simonton's method emphasizes treatment of the whole patient by treating both the body an d the mind.The attitude of a cancer patient who is receiving radiation therapy, an X-ray tr eatment, can become more positive. The physician who is following Simonton's psy chological treatment plan suggests that the patient imagine that he or she can see the tumor(肿瘤)in the body. In the mental picture, the patient "sees" a powerful beam of radiation like a million bullets of energy. The patient imagines the beam hi tting the tumor cells and causing them to shrink. For another cancer patient, Dr. Si monton might make another suggestion. This patient, with a different kind of cancer, needs to take capsules and pills several times a day. The doctor asks the patient to imagine the medicine going from the stomach into the bloodstream and to the cancer cells. The patient imagines that the medicine is like an army fighting the dis eased cells and sees the cancer cells gradually dying. His or her blood carries aw ay the dead cells. Both the medical therapy and the patient's positive attitude fight the disease.Doctors are not certain why this mental therapy works. However, this use of p sychology does help some patients because their attitudes about themselves chang e. They become more confident because they use the power within their own mind s to help stop the disease.Suggestion therapyAnother application of using the mind to help cure disease is the use of sugg estion therapy. Before making the suggestion, the doctor helps the patient to conce ntrate deeply. The patient (in this case, a man)thinks only about one thing. He bec omes so unaware of other things around him that he seems to be asleep. He is s aid to be in a trance (催眠状态). Then the physician makes "a suggestion" to the patient about the medical problem. The patient's mind responds to the suggestion even after the patient is no longer in the trance.. In this way, the patient uses his mind to help his body respond to treatment.Suggestion therapy helpful for both adults and childrenDoctors have learned that this use of psychology is helpful for both adults and children. For example, physicians have used suggestion to help adults deal with t he strong pain of some disease. Furthermore, sometimes the adult patient(in this c ase, a woman) worries about her illness so much That the anxiety keeps her from getting well. The right suggestions may help the patient to stop being anxious. Su ch treatment may help the patient with a chronic(慢性的)diseases. Asthma (哮喘)is an example of a chronic disorder. Asthma is a disease that causes the patient t o have difficulty in breathing. The patient starts to cough and sometimes has to fig ht to get the air that he or she needs. Psychology can help relieve the symptoms of this disorder. After suggestion therapy, the asthma patient breathes more easily.Physicians have learned that the psychological method is very useful in treatin g children. Children respond quickly to the treatment because they are fascinated b y it. For example, Dr. Basil R. Collison has worked with 121 asthmatic children in Sydney, Australia, and had good results. Twenty-five of the children had excellent r esults. They were able to breathe more easily, and they did not need medication. Another forty-three were also helped. The symptoms of the asthma occurred less fr equently, and when they did, they were not as strong. Most of the children also fel t better about themselves. Doctors have also used suggestion to change habits like nail-biting, thumb-sucking, and sleep-related problems.Response from the medical worldMany professional medical groups have accepted the medical use of psycholo gy because they recognize its value. Nobody knows how suggestion works; howeve r, doctors have learned that psychology has important applications in medicine.1. What does the passage mainly discuss?A) How to use the mind against disease.B) How modern methods of therapy focuses on the physical disease.C) Response from the medical world.D) How suggestion therapy benefits to adults and children.2. How does psychological therapy work?A) The patient waits for the medicine and treatment to cure him.B) The doctor uses medical treatment to cure the patient's problems.C) The doctor, the medicine, and the patient work together to fight disease.D) The patient uses his minds to cure himself.3. What can we learn from the studies of Carl Simonton, M. D.?A) The medical treatment can cure the patient's mental disease.B)The treatment of a patient by treating the body and the mind is necessary.C)The mental treatment is more important than medical treatment.D)Few patients have emotional response to the disease.4. The use of psychological therapy is helpful to some patients in that .A) the medical effect is better with psychological therapy than without itB) the patients can see a powerful beam of radiation hitting their tumor cellsC) the patients' attitudes towards themselves have changedD) the patients are easy to accept the methods the doctors use to treat them5. , the patient can use his mind to help his body respond to treatment.A) In medical treatmentB) In mental therapyC) In the tumor operationD) In suggestion therapy6.

最新完美版大学英语四级模拟试卷答案参考答案及解析Part I WritingJob Hunting for College StudentsWe have been hearing that college graduates are finding it more and more difficult to get a job. The situation seems puzzling. For one thing, college graduates comprise only a limited proportion of the population. They should be highly competitive in the job markets. For another, one country has been developing very quickly and it does need a lot of college graduates.In my opinion, the major reason for the situation is that college graduates nowadays usually have unrealistic hopes when they go to find a job. They mostly want to have an easy job which promises a good salary and all the opportunities to advance their career developments. They are reluctant to start from the routine work, say, in a company.A solution to this problem requires efforts on both the society and the graduates themselves. Our society should learn to value the talents and knowledge of college graduates. By creating a better environment for them, our society can benefit from their contributions. On the other hand, college students should take a more down-to-earth attitude toward their career. They need to be more realistic and prove themselves to be competent in work.Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)1.Y 细节理解题。

Should Private Cars Be Encouraged in China?
As China has greatly developed both in industry and in economy,the number of people who own private cars is on the rise.And there are two different views on this phenomenon.
Some people argue that private cars can bring convenience and mobility to the owners.If more people buy cars,automobile industry will develop dramatically. What’more, the growth of automobile industry can trigger the boom of other important industries such as iron and steel. Energy and technological application. In short, they are in favor of developing private cars.
However, others hold that automobiles will give rise to a series of problems such as more serious environmental pollution, more traffic accidents and more energy consumption. Besides,there are 1.2 billion people in China.If every family own a car, there would be too many cars running on this land, which will certainly lead to traffic congestion and pose threat to the existence of people. Therefore, they are against developing private cars in China.
