You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.Part II Listening Comprehension (25 minutes)说明:2017年6月大学英语四级考试全国共考了两套听力.本套的听力内容与第二套相同,因此本套听力部分不再重复给出。

Part ⅢReading Comprehension (40 minutes) Section ADirections: 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. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices, Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.As if you needed another reason to hate the gym, it now turns out that exercise can exhaust not only your muscles, but also your eyes. Fear not, however, for coffee can stimulate them again. During (26)_______ exercise, our muscles tire as they run out of fuel and build up waste products. Muscle performance can also be affected by a (27)_______ called "central fatigue,” in which an imbalance in the body’s chemical messengers prevents th e central nervous system from directing muscle movements(28)_______. It was not known, however, whether central fatigue might also affect motor systems not directly (29) _______ in the exercise itself, such as those that move the eyes. To find out, researchers gave 11 volunteer cyclists a carbohydrate (碳水化合物的)(30)_______ either with a moderate dose of caffeine(咖啡因),which is known to stimulate the central nervous system, or as a placebo(安慰剂)without, during 3 hours of (31)_______ . After exercising, the scientists tested the cyclists with eyetracking cameras to see how well their brains could still (32)_______ their visual system. The team found that exercisereduced the speed of rapid eye movements by about 8%, (33)_______ their ability to capture new visual information. The caffeine, the equivalent of two strong cups of coffee, was (34)_______ to reverse this effect, with some cyclists even displaying (35)_______ eye movement speeds. So it might be a good idea to get someone else to drive you home after that marathon.Section BDirections:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Team spirit[A] Teams have become the basic building blocks of organizations. Recruitment advertisements routinely call for “team players”. Business schools grade their students in part on their performance in group projects. Office managers knock down walls to encourage team building. Teams are as old as civilization, of course: even Jesus had 12 co-workers. But a new report by Delo itte, “Global Human Capital Trends”,based on a survey of more than 7,000 executives in over 130 countries, suggests that the fashion for teamwork has reached a new high. Almost half of those surveyed said their companies were either in the middle of restructuring or about to embark on (开始)it; and for the most part, restructuring meant putting more emphasis on teams.[B] Companies are abandoning conventional functional departments and organising employees into cross-disciplinary teams that focus on particular products, problems or customers. These teams are gaining more power to run their own affairs. They are also spending more time working with each other rather than reporting upwards. Deloitte argues that a new organisational form is on the rise: a network of teams is replacing the conventional hierarchy (等级体制).[C] The fashion for teams is driven by a sense that the old way of organising people is too rigid for both the modem marketplace and the expectations of employees. Technological innovation places greater value on agility (灵活性).John Chambers, chairman of Cisco Systems Inc., a worldwide leader in electronics products, says that “we compete against market transitions (过渡),not competitors. Product transitions used to take five or seven years; now they take one or two. ” Digital technology also makes it easier for people to co-ordinate their activities without resorting to hierarch y. The “millennials” (千禧一代) who will soon make up half the workforce in rich countries were raised from nursery school onwards to work in groups.[D] The fashion for teams is also spreading from the usual corporate suspects (such as GE and IBM) to some more unusual ones. The Cleveland Clinic, a hospital operator, has reorganised its medical staff into teams to focus on particular treatment areas; consultants, nurses and others collaborate closely instead of being separated by speciality (专业)and rank. The US Army has gone the same way. In his book, “Team of Teams' General Stanley McChrystal describes how the army’s hierarchical structure hindered its operations during the early stages of the Iraq war. His solution was to learn something from the insurgents it was fighting: decentralise authority to self-organising teams.[E] A good rule of thumb is that as soon as generals and hospital administrators jump on a management bandwagon, it is time to ask questions. Leigh Thompson of Kellogg School of Management in Illinois warns that, ‘Teams are not always the answer—teams may provide insight, creativity and knowledge in a way that a person working independently cannot; but teamwork may also lead to confusion, delay and poor decision-making.” The late Richard Hackman of Harvard University once argued, “I have no question that when you have a team, the possibility exists that it will generate magic, producing something extraor dinary... But don’t coun t on it.”[F] Hackman (who died in 2013) noted that teams are hampered by problems of co-ordination and motivation that chip away at the benefits of collaboration. High-flyers forced to work in teams may be undervalued and free-riders empowered. Groupthink may be unavoidable. In a study of 120 teams of senior executives, he discovered that less than 10% of their supposed members agreed on who exactly was on the team. If it is hard enough to define a team’s membership, agreeing on its purpose is harder still.[G] Profound changes in the workforce are making teams trickier to manage. Teams work best if their members have a strong common culture. This is hard to achieve when, as is now thecase in many big firms, a large proportion of staff are temporary contractors. Teamwork improves with time: America’s National Transportation Safety Board found that 73% of the incidents in its civil-aviation database occurred on a crew’s first day of flying together. However, as Amy Edmondson of Harvard points out, organisati ons increasingly use “team” as a verb rather than a noun: they form teams for specific purposes and then quickly disband them.[H] The least that can be concluded from this research is that companies need to think harder about managing teams. They need to rid their minds of sentimentalism (感情用事):the most successful teams have leaders who are able to set an overall direction and take immediate action. They need to keep teams small and focused: giving in to pressure to be more “inclusive” is a guarantee of dy sfunction. Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s boss, says that “If I see more than two pizzas for lunch, the team is too big.” They need to immunize teams against group-think: Hackman argued that the best ones contain “deviants” (离经叛道者)who are willing to do something that maybe upsetting to others.[I] A new study of 12,000 workers in 17 countries by Steelcase, a furniture-maker which also does consulting, finds that the best way to ensure employees are “engaged” is to give them more control over where and how they do the ir work―which may mean liberating them from having to do everything in collaboration with others.[J] However, organisations need to learn something bigger than how to manage teams better: they need to be in the habit of asking themselves whether teams are the best tools for the job. Teambuilding skills are in short supply: Deloitte reports that only 12% of the executives they contacted feel they understand the way people work together in networks and only 21% feel confident in their ability to build cross-functional teams. Loosely managed teams can become hotbeds of distraction―employees routinely complain that they can’t get their work done because they are forced to spend too much time in meetings or compelled to work in noisy offices. Even in the age of open-plan offices and social networks some work is best left to the individual.36.Successful team leaders know exactly where the team should go and are able to take prompt action.37.Decentralisation of authority was also found to be more effective in military operations.38.In many companies, the conventional form of organisation is giving way to a network of teams.39.Members of poorly managed teams are easily distracted from their work.40.Teamwork is most effective when team members share the same culture.41.According to a report by Deloitte, teamwork is becoming increasingly popular among companies.42.Some team members find it hard to agree on questions like membership and the team’s purpose.43.Some scholars think teamwork may not always be reliable, despite its potential to work wonders.44.To ensure employees’ commitment, it is advisable to give them more flexibility as towhere and how they work.45.Product transitions take much less time now than in the past.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 2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.The Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money, research has shown.Penny-pinching UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl rather than luxury alternatives.This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from £1.19 billion in 2011 to £1.12 billion in 2015,according to a new report from market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to £1.11 billion in 2016.In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from £43 in 2014 to £41 in 2015.Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper—including facial tissue and kitchen roll―to save money. “Strength,softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns of perfume,said Mintel analystJack Duckett. ''These extra features are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.”While consumers are spending less on t oilet paper, they remain fussy―in theory at least—when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons’ toilet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%).One in 10 buyers rand toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufacturers, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.46.The market sales of toilet paper have decreased because _____________.A)Britons have cut their spending on itB)its prices have gone up over the yearsC)its quality has seen marked improvementD)Britons have developed the habit of saving47.What does the author think of the future of the tissue paper market in the UK?A)It will expend in time.B)It will remain gloomy.C)It will experience ups and downs.D)It will recover as population grows.48.What does Jack Duckett say about toilet paper?A)Special offers would promote its sales.B)Consumers are loyal to certain brands.C) Luxurious features add much to the price.D) Consumers have a variety to choose from.49. What do we learn about Britons concerning toilet paper?A) They are particular about the quality of toilet paper.B) They emphasize the strength of toilet paper the most.C) They prefer cheap toilet paper to recycled toilet paper.D) They reject using toilet paper with unnecessary features.50. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A) More and more Britons buy recycled toiler paper to protect the environment.B) Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales.C) Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve product quality.D) Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.“One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger,” says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.By studying about 700 adult smokers, she found out that her mom quit the right way—by stopping abruptly and completely.In her study, participants were randomly (随机地)assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine (尼古丁)patches before they quit, in addition to a second form of nicotine replacement, like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.Six months out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it—more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they’d rather cut down gradually before quitting. “If you’re training for a marathon, you wouldn’t expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think,‘Well,if I gradually reduce, it’s like practice,’” says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasn’t the case.Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings (瘾)and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point.“Regardless of your stated preference, if you’re ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective,”says Dr. Gabriela Ferreira. “When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that’s compelling. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it,’’Ferreira says.People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.51. What does Lindson-Hawley say about her mother?A) She quit smoking with her daughter’s help.B) She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly.C) She was also a researcher of tobacco and health.D) She studied the smoking patterns of adult smokers.52.What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawley’s study?A) They were given physical training.B) They were looked after by physicians.C) They were encouraged by psychologists.D) They were offered nicotine replacements.53. How does Dr. Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley’s experiment?A) It is idealized.B) It is unexpected.C) It is encouraging.D) It is misleading.54. The idea of “a marathon”(Line 2, Para. 5) illustrates the popular belief that quitting smokingA) is something few can accomplishB) needs some practice firstC) requires a lot of patienceD) is a challenge at the beginning55. What happens when people try to quit smoking gradually?A) They find it even more difficult.B) They are simply unable to make it.C) They show fewer withdrawal symptoms.D) They feel much less pain in the process.Part IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.黄河是亚洲第三、世界第六长的河流。

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of building a harmonious society. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.The Importance of Building a Harmonious SocietyBuilding a harmonious society plays a significant role in the development of a nation. A harmonious society refers to a community where people live in peace and harmony, without conflicts or discrimination. It is essential for the well-being and progress of a country and its citizens.First, a harmonious society fosters social stability and unity. When there is mutual respect and understanding among citizens, social tensions and conflicts can be minimized, and people will be more willing to work together towards common goals. This unity creates a positive atmosphere that encourages economic development and social progress.Second, a harmonious society ensures fairness and justice. In such a society, everyone's rights and interests are protected, and no one is discriminated against based on their gender, ethnicity, or social status. This promotes equality and enhances social justice, creating a favorable environment for individuals to reach their full potential.Third, a harmonious society promotes cultural diversity and tolerance. By embracing and respecting different cultures, a society can learn from each other and foster cultural exchange. This enriches the social fabric and enables people to appreciate and accept cultural differences, leading to a more inclusive and vibrant society.In conclusion, building a harmonious society is crucial for the progress and prosperity of a nation. It fosters social stability, ensures fairness, and promotes cultural diversity. As individuals, we should strive to contribute to the building of a harmonious society by promoting understanding, tolerance, and respect for one another. Only by working together can we create a harmonious and prosperous future.以上就是2017年四级考试试题的答案。

2017年12月大学英语六级听力真题原文及参考答案

2017年12月大学英语六级听力真题原文及参考答案【完整版】本次2017年12月大学英语六级考试听力部分共25个小题,包括短对话8个小题,长对话2篇共7个小题和听力讲座3篇共10个小题,以下是听力音频、真题、原文及参考答案完整版。

【第二部分:听力时间:30分钟】Part II Listening Comprehension (30 minutes)Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide which the best answer is. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.听力音频在线收听:2017年12月大学英语六级听力材料音频在线收听及MP3下载Section AConversation 1M: And now, for the lighter side of the news, Europe is setting an example for the rest of the world when it comes to food waste.W: That’s right John. This week the Italian government pass legislation that aims to dramatically reduce the amount of food wasted in the country. New laws have been put into place that would make it easier for farms and supermarkets to donate unsold foods to those who are in need.M: Yes. And in addition to this, businesses would now be rewarded for successful efforts to cut food waste.W: Italy is not the only country to focus on reducing food waste. Just earlier this year, the European Parliament voted in favor of legislation that would stop grocery giants from unfair trading practices that result in overproduction, thus creating waste.M: In France, the government has banned supermarkets from throwing away edible foods and imposed harsh penalties on businesses that fail to comply with the regulations.W: While there is still much progress to be made, other countries could learn a thing or two from the example set by France and Italy. In the United States, up to forty percent of all food goes uneaten. Despite the fact that one in seven American households lacks regular access to good food, one major cause of this problem is the confusion over food expiration labels, which are currently not regulated by the government.M: All this could change soon. This wave of new laws in Europe will definitely put more pressure on law makers to reduce food waste here. We turn now to a spokesperson from Harvard University’s Food Law and Policy Clinic for more on the story. And now, let’s welcome Prof. Edward Becker to speak to us.Question 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. What does the woman say about the new laws in Italy?A) They reward businesses that eliminate food waste.B) They prohibit the sale of foods that have gone stale.C) They facilitate the donation of unsold foods to the needy.D) They forbid businesses to produce more foods than needed.答案:C) They facilitate the donation of unsold foods to the needy.2. What did the European Parliament do reduce food waste?A) It imposed penalties on businesses that waste food.B) It passed a law aiming to stop overproduction.C) It voted against food import from outside Europe.D) It prohibited the promotion of bulk food sales.答案:B) It passed a law aiming to stop overproduction.3. What has the French government done recently?A) It has warned its people against possible food shortages.B) It has penalized businesses that keep overproducing foods.C) It has started a nationwide campaign against food waste.D) It has banned supermarkets from dumping edible foods.答案:D) It has banned supermarkets from dumping edible foods.4. What is the major cause of food waste in the United States?A) The confusion over food expiration labels.B) The surplus resulting from overproduction.C) Americans’habit of buying food in bulk.D) A lack of regulation on food consumption.答案:A) The confusion over food expiration labels.解析:长对话1主要讲的欧洲在处理食物浪费问题上为别的地方树立的典范。

W: Just imagine! We have to finish reading 300 pages before Monday! How can the professor expect us to do it in such a short time?M: Y eah, but what troubles me is that I can‟t find the book in the library or in the university bookstore.Q: What does the man mean?2. M: Do you think I could borrow your car to go grocery shopping? The supermarkets outside the city are so much cheaper. I‟d also be happy to pick up anything you need.W: Well, I don‟t like to let anyone else drive my car. Tell you what, why don‟t we go together? Q: What does the woman mean?3. M: Forgive the mess in here, we have a party last night. There were a lot of people and they all brought food.W: Yeah, I can tell. Well, I guess it‟s pretty obvious what you‟ll be doing most of today.Q: What does the woman think the man will do?4. W: What time would suit you for the first round talks with John Smith?M: Well, you know my schedule. Other than this Friday, one day is as good as the next.Q: What does the man mean?5. M: This TV set cost me $500. I paid too much for it.W: Oh, no! TV sets of the same type are more expensive in other shops.Q: How does the woman feel about the TV set the man bought?In the U.S. today, not enough respect is given to people who are truly dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. This is true through out the educational system. Parents of elementary school pupils are unhappy if their child wants to spend too much time reading, or doing other intellectual activities. At a university, the brightest and most hardworking undergraduates are not the most popular. In fact, the top students are often looked down upon as “nerds” and “geeks”.The same thing is true in the world of work. Professional athletes receive huge salaries and are held up as role models. On the other hand, professors, even at the top academic institutions, are not highly paid or well-known. This anti-intellectualism is sure to have a negative effect on America in the future. Rival nations will develop better technologies and the U.S. will not be able to compete. America must do away with words such as “nerds” and “geek” and start giving more respect to the people who are dedicated to learning and teaching.Test 5PartⅠListeningSection A: short conversation1-5 B B A C BSection B: blank filling6. previously7. ignorant8. presence9. for 10. support 11. threw 12. crept 13. treated 14. as15. afterwardsPart II VocabularySection A:16. prevail 17. dimension 18. venture 19. confident 20. roar 21. newcomer 22. wisdom 23. spoil 24. chase 25. creepSection B:26.

I‟d feel that way too if I were you.Q: What does the man imply?2. M: I reall y can‟t stand the way David controls the conversation all the time. If he is going to beat your Christmas party, I just won‟t come.W: I‟m sorry you feel that way, but my mother insists that he come.Q: What does the woman imply?3. W: Y ou‟re taking a course with Professor Johnson. What‟s your impression so far?M: Well, many students could hardly stay awake in his class without first drinking a cup of coffee. Q: What does the man imply?4. W: Have you ever put a computer together before?M: No, never. B ut I think if we follow these instructions exactly, we won‟t have much trouble.Q: What are the speakers going to do?5. W: Y es, sir. Can I help you?M: Y es. I wonder if you could cash some traveler‟s cheques for me.W: Of course, sir. How much did you want to change?M: Well, it depends on the exchange rate really. What is it today in Swiss francs?W: Just a moment, sir. Y es, here it is. It‟s five point eight to the pound.Q: Where does this conversation probably take place?It was not easy being the first black student in a previously all-white school. Some of the other students, who were ignorant about black people, were quite nasty to me, and many of the teachers simply ignored my presence. I was very lucky to have a liberal woman such as Dorothy Bean as a teacher. Day after day, Miss Bean challenged me to work hard and think for myself. Among other things, she asked my opinion about historical events and she expected me to give reasons to support my answer.One day, when I was not concentrating, she threw an eraser at me. By chance, it hit me right in the hand and sent my pencil flying. She gasped and I crept hurriedly after my pencil as the class roared with laughter. Because Miss Bean treated me just like every one else, the other students started to see me as one of them. I was shocked when she threw the eraser at me, but afterwards I was glad to be just another kid in school.Test 6PartⅠSection A1-5.

When the personal computer was first introduced, the only people interested in it were technologists. But over time, the PC has become an essential part of our modern society. Today, reliable computer applications are crucial to international business. And everyday people use the PC to go on-line and communicate with millions of other Internet users around the world.Now a new revolution is beginning. Once again we are heading into unexplored territory. We can only speculate about/on all the changes which new technology will bring about in the coming years. The purpose of The Road Ahead is to make sure that common people are able to take part in debates about these new technologies. This book is intended to stimulate discussion about what the new technologies should do and how they should operate. Making the right decisions now —or at least asking the right questions —is necessary in order to ensure that electronic needs are met in the future.Test 71--5 ABABD6--15lonely, hesitant, performance worse, graduated, discovered, delighted, attracted, seriously, journalist16—25 private, accust0rmed fierce, rely, awaken, odd, campaign, victim, honesty, abundant,26--30CBDEA31.

Thank you, sir.Q: How will the man pay?Churchill's childhood was an unhappy and lonely one. A speech defect (缺陷), which he never entirely overcame, made him a shy and hesitant child, and his only refuge was the friendship of Mrs. Everest, his beloved nurse. His poor performance at school led his disappointed father to send him to the Royal Military College –and to make matters worse, Winston failed the entrance exam (入学考试) twice before finally managing to pass it. Once there, however, hisabundant talent for the art of war became clear, and he graduated 20th in a class of 130. In 1895, the year his father died, he entered the army and was sent to Cuba, where he discovered his talent for writing. Churchill was delighted when his reports on the Cuban War of Independence (古巴独立战争) attracted wide attention, and he seriously contemplated a career as a journalist.Test 8PartⅠListening:15′Section A: short conversation(5′)1-5 D C D A DSection B: blank filling(10′)6. immigrant7. obligation8. motivated9. widespread10. however11. discrimination12. guilty13. horrified14. repay15. owePart II Vocabulary:20′Section A:(5′)16. succession17. exclusion18. prejudice19. criticism20. obligation21. ingredient22. horrify23. reorganize24. vacation25. spanSection B:(5′)26-30 D E A C BSection C: translation(10′)31. attribute their failures to lack of ability32.

M: Lisa, I was wondering if you could come to my birthday party this Saturday evening?W: I‟d love to, but my cousin is arriving from Chicago that day.M: That‟s n o problem. The more the merrier.Q: What does the man imply?William Liu, who came to the United States as a youngster in 1946, views the Asian-American experience somewhat differently. As a new immigrant, he says, he felt a lot of pressure to excel, but for different reasons than Stevenson mentions. “Stevenson‟s studies discuss the Confucian-style sense of obligation to one‟s parents, whereas I was largely motivated by prejudice,” he says. “Anti-Asian feeling was quite widespread in America at that time. I couldn‟t be just average; if I wasn‟t obviously better than other people, I was considered worse.”Liu‟s point is a compelling one; however, it doesn‟t explain everything. Liu is now learning that his children grew up with similar feelings of pressure, although the wartime discrimination against Asians had become largely a thing of the past before they were born. “My son is studying medicine, but I knew he really wanted to be a banker,” Liu says. “One day I asked him why he chose medical school instead of banking. He told me, …All my life I heard you congratulating friends whose kids got into medical school. So I felt guilty. I didn‟t have any choice.‟” Liu was horrified. “I never meant to make my children feel they had to repay me for anything. But this sense that you owe your parents everything seems nearly irresistible.”Test 9PartⅠListening1.C2.A3.

Sending it parcel post would be cheaper, but it‟ll take longer. The rate would be … $8.10.M: Oh, I want it to get there quickly. And I want to insure it.W: That‟ll be $4.00 more.Q: How much will the man pay?The biggest problem that “cultural translators” have to solve is caused by very subtle cultural differences. Among the most troublesome cultural conflicts that international joint ventures have to cope with is the process by which decisions are made. The biggest difficulty is simply understanding that decision-making is a cultural issue. Since very few people are actually conscious of the decision-making norms that those norms are far from universal. So when they run into a different decision-making style they become first confused, then impatient with the other parties‟ “inability” to make a dec ision. “What‟s wrong with t hem —are they crazy or just stupid?!” The next phase is most often a determination to each the other side “the right way” to make a decision —that is, their way. But since the other side (whoever it is) feels exactly the same way about their “right way”,the results of this teaching effort are usually profoundly non-educational. That‟s when the situation becomes truly ugly, escalating into a total cultural war in which both parties accuse the other side of incompetence and non-cooperation.。

Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet1 with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Scientists have identified thousands of known ants species around the w orld. And only a few of them bug humans. Most ants live in the woods, or out in nature. There, they keep other creatures in check, distribute seed s, and clean dead and decaying materials from the ground. A very small p ercentage of ants do harm to humans. But those are incredibly challengi ng to control. They are small enough to easily slip inside your house. Liv e in colonies that number in the tens of thousands to the hundreds of thou sands, and reproduce quickly. That makes them good at getting in, and h ard to kick out. Once they settle in, these insects start affecting your hom e. In addition to barging ants, other species can cause different kinds of damage. Some, like carpenter ants, can undermine a home structure, w hile others interfere with the electrical units. Unfortunately, our homes ar e very attractive to ants, because it provides everything the colony need s to survive, such as food, water, and shelter.So, how can we prevent a nts from getting into our homes? Most important of all, avoid giving ants a ny access to food, particularly sugary food because ants have a sweet too th. We also need to clean up spills as soon as they occur and store food i n air-tight containers. Even garbage attracts ants, so empty your trash as often as possible. And store your outside garbage in a lidded can, while a way from doors and windows.16. What does the passage say about ants?A) They help farmers keep diseases incheck.B) Many species remain unknown toscientists.C) Only a few species cause trouble tohumans.D) They live in incredibly well-organizedcolonies.17. What do we learn from the passage about carpenter ants?A) They are larger than many other species.B) They can cause damage to people’s homes.C) They can survive a long time withoutwater.D) They like to form colonies in electricalunits.18. What can we do to prevent ants from getting into our homes?A) Deny them access to any food.B) Keep doors and windows shut.C) Destroy their colonies close by.D) Refrain from eating sugary food.Passage 2My research focus is on what happens to our immune system as we age. So the job of the immune system is to fight infections. It also protects us f rom viruses and from autoimmune diseases. We know that as we get olde r, it's easier for us to get infections. So older adults have more chances of falling ill. This is evidence that our immune system really doesn't functi on so well when we age. In most of our work, when we were looking at ol der adults who've got an illness, we always have to have health controls. So we work very closely with a great group of volunteers called the One T housand Elders, these volunteers are all 65 or over but in good health. Th ey come to the university to provide us with blood samples to be interview ed and to help us to carry out a whole range of research. The real impact of our research is going to be on health in old age. At the moment, we ar e living much longer. Life expectancy is increasing at 2 years for every de cade, that means an extra 5 hours a day. I want to make sure that older a dults are still able to enjoy their old age, and that they are not spending time in hospital with infections, feeling unwell and being generally weak. W e want people to be healthy even when they are old.19. What is the focus of the speaker’s research?A) The function of the human immune system.B) The cause of various auto-immunediseases.C) The viruses that may infect the humanimmune system.D) The chan ge in people’s immune system asthey get older.20. What are the volunteers asked to do in the research?A) Report their illnesses.B) Offer blood samples.C) Act as research assistants.D) Help to interview patients.21. What does the speaker say will be the impact of his research?A) Strengthening people’s immunity to infection.B) Better understanding patients’ immunesystem.C) Helping improve old people’s healthconditions.D) Further reducing old patients’ medicalexpenses.Passage 3When Ted Komada started teaching 14 years ago at Kilip Elementary, he didn't know how to manage a classroom and was struggling to connect wit h students, he noticed a couple of days after school that a group of kid wo uld get together to play chess."I know how to play chess, let me go and show these kids how to do it," h e said.

And they all appear to be uninjured, said Jessica Verfuss, the emergency department’s assistant director.Crews have managed to provide heat packs and blankets to the miners so that they can keep warm during the rescue operation, Verfuss said. Details about wha t led to the workers’ being trapped in the elevator went immediately available. The mine, along New York’s Cayuga Lake, processes salt used for road treatment.

We want to be self-sufficient. So like any other business you have to make choices.”Dean Granholm the vice president for delivery and post office operations said the first waves of closings would begin this fall.

What about?A: One of the press operators arrived an hour and a half late.B: But that's a straightforward affair. He will simply lose part of his pay. That's why we have a clock-in system.A: But the point is the man was clocked-in at 8 o'clock. We have John standing by the time clock, and he swears he saw nothing irregular.B: Is John reliable?A: Yes, he is. That's why we chose him for the job.B: Have you spoken to the man who was late?A: Not yet. I thought I'd have a word with you first. He's a difficult man, and I think there's been some trouble on the shop floor. I've got a feeling that trade union representative is behind this. The manager told me that Jack Green's been very active around the shop the last few days.B: Well, what do you want me to do?A: I was wondering if you'd see Smith, the man who was late, because you are so much better at handling things like this.B: Oh, alright. I'll see him. I must say I agree with you about there being bad feelings in the works. I've had the idea for some time that Jack Green's been busy stirring things up in connection with the latest wage claim. He's always trying to make trouble. Well, I'll get the manager to send Smith up here.Q8. What will happen to the press operator who was late for the work according to the woman?Q9. What does the man say about John who stands by the time clock?Q10. Why does the man suggest the woman see the worker who was late?Q11. What does the woman say about Jack Green?Conversation 2A: Our topic today is about somethings that foreigners nearly always say when they visit Britain. It's 'Why are the British so cold?' And they're talking about the British personality –the famous British 'reserve'. It means that we aren't very friendly, we aren't very open.B: So do you think it's true?A: It's a difficult one. So many people who visit Britain say it'sdifficult to make friends with British people. They say we're cold, reserved, unfriendly...B: I think it's true. Look at Americans or Australians. They speak the same language, but they're much more open. And you see it when you travel, people - I mean strangers - speak to you on the street or on the train. British people seldom speak on the train. Or the bus. Not in London, anyway.A: 'Not in London'. That's it. Capital cities are full of tourists and are never very friendly. People are different in other parts of the country.B: Not completely. I met a woman once, an Italian. She's been working in Manchester for two years,and no one - not one of her colleagues - had ever invited her to their home. They were friendly to her at work, but nothing else. She couldn't believe it. She said that would never happen in Italy.A: You know what they say – 'an Englishman's home is his castle'. It’s really difficult to get inside.B: Yeah. It's about being private. You go home to your house and your garden and you close the door. It's your place.A: That's why the British don't like flats. They prefer to live in houses.B: That’s true.Q12. What do foreigners generally think of British people according to the woman?Q13. What may British people typically do one the train according to the man?Q14. What does the man say about the Italian woman working in Manchester?Q15.

There were no injuries. It is not the first time one of Google's famed self-driving cars has been involved in a crash, but it may be the first time it has caused one.On February 14th, the self-driving car, travelling at two miles per hour, pulled out in front of a public bus going fifteen miles per hour.The man in the Google vehicle reported that he assumed the bus would slow down to let the car out, and so he did not switch to the manual mode.In a statement, Google said: "We clearly bear some responsibility, because if our car hadn't moved, there wouldn't have been a crash."“That said, our test driver believed the bus was going to slow or stop to allow us to merge into the traffic, and that there would be sufficient space to do that.”The company's self-driving cars have done well over a million miles across various states in the US, and until now have only reported minor accidents.1. According to Google, what was the cause of the accident?2. How have Google’s self-driving cars performed so far?Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.Thousands of bees left a town after landing on the back of a car when their queen got stuck in its boot. Tom Moses, who works at a nearby national park, noticed a “brown patch” on the back of the car after the owner parked it to do some shopping. When he looked closer he realized it was a huge group of bees.Moses said: “I have never seen that many bees in one spot. It was very unusual. They were very close together and there was a lot of noise and movement. “It was interesting to see such a strange sight, but there were a lot of people around and I was a bit worried of the bees and the people stopping to look. I thought that someone might do something stupid.”Moses called two local bees specialists who helped remove the bees by attracting them into a box. Moses spent three hours looking after the bees -- and was stung five times.He said: “My stings are a bit painful, but I am pleased that all worked out and I could help. People need to realize that bees are valuable and they should be looked after.3. What do we learn about Tom Moses?4. What do we know about the bees on the back of the car?Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.A new species of snake has been discovered on a remote island in the Bahamas.Scientists identified 20 of the one meter-long snakes during two trips to the Caribbean islands. The second trip was made in October last year.One of the creatures made a dramatic appearance by moving on to the head of the team leader as he slept.The snake has been named silver boa because it is metallic colored and the first specimen found was climbing a silver palm tree.The team was led by Dr. Graham Reynolds, from Harvard University. The scientist confirmed the snake was a previously unknown species after conducting a genetic analysis of tissue samples.Commenting on the find, snake expert Robert Henderson from the Milwaukee Museum of Natural History, said: “Worldwide new species of frogs are being discovered and described quite regularity. New species of snakes, however, are much rarer.”5. What is the news report mainly about?6. What do we learn about the scientific team leader?7. How did the newly discovered creature get its name?Section BQuestions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.W: Did you enjoy your stay with us, Mr. Brown?M: Yes, very much. I had a wonderful time here. Now I'm going to the airport. My flight leaves in less than two hours, so could you tell me what is the quickest way to get there?W: Well, we can call a taxi for you. We also have a free airport shuttle service.M: That sounds great, but will the shuttle get me to the airport in time?W: Yes, it should. The next shuttle leaves in 15 minutes. And it takes some 25 minutes to get to the airport.M: Fantastic! I'll just wait in the lobby. Will you please let me know when it's leaving?W: Of course, sir.M: Now, I would like to settle my mini-bar bill. How much is that?W: Let's see. It comes to 37 dollars and 50 cents. How would you like to pay for it?M: I'll pay with my credit card. Thanks. But I'll need a receipt, so I can charge it to my company. W: Absolutely! Here you are, sir. If you like, I can leave your bags with the porter. And he can load them onto the shuttle for you when it arrives.M: That would be great. Thank you.W: Would you like to leave a comment on our webpage when you have time?M: Sure. I had a really good stay here, and I'd like to recommend your hotel to my friends and colleagues.W: That’s very kind of you. Thank you again for staying at Sheraton Hotel.8. Why does the man ask about the quickest way to the airport?9. How is the man going to pay his bill?10. What did the man ask the woman to do?11. What favor does the woman ask of the man?Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.M: You know, Ben’s given up making those terrible faces he used to make. The other day, he came home from school almost in tears. His teacher said if he went on like that, his face would get stuck when the winds changed.W: And he believed her?M: Yeah, he’s only a little boy. Don’t you remember all those things we used to believe when we were little? I remember my aunt Mary used to say if you swallow a cherry stone, a tree would grow out of your mouth. And I’m still terrified today, sort of subconsciously. You know, if I swallow one by mistake…W: Yeah, I suppose you're right. The one that used to get me was that swans could break your leg when they blow of the wing.M: They can, can’t they? I always thought they could.W: No, they are not that strong. But there’s another one even more terrifying. That is, if you put a post stamp on upside down, you will go to prison.M: No, never heard of that. But my grandmother was a terror for that kind of thing. For example, she would say, you will get a spot on your tongue if you tell a lie. If you eat stale bread, your hair will curl. And here is one more. We went on a campaign trip once in Italy, and my wife spent the whole time worrying about bats getting into her hair. She said her grandmother reckoned you had to shave your head to get it out. My wife was really terrified.W: Silly, isn’t it? But that’s how some parents try to keep their kids from doing the wrong thing or getting into trouble.12. What does the man say about Ben?13. What did aunt Marry used to do when the man was a child?14. What does the woman believe swans could do?15. What did the grandmother of the man’s wife say?Section CQuestions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.If I could go back in history and live when I liked, I wouldn't go back very far. In fact, I'd like to relive a period I've already lived -- the 1960s.I was in my twenties, and everything was being renewed. People would come in out of a formal and almost Victorian attitude, and you really felt anything was possible. Meeting people was the thing, and you went to coffee bars where you met friends and spent the evening. The cinema, the theater, all that was every exciting with new things coming out. In fact, we seemed to be out all the time! I don't really remember working --of course, I was a student --or sitting around at home very much. That just wasn't where the scene was, even eating! It was the first time ordinary people started going out to eat. We were beginning to be adventurous about food, but we were more interested in meeting people than in eating or drinking. And dress, yes, that was the revolution. I mean, girls went around in really short skirts, and wore flowers in their hair. And men were in jeans, and could wear their hair long too. It was a wonderful period. It was like living in an age you could never have imagined, and that never has come back. We didn't have much money, but it didn't matter. And there was plenty of opportunity to do whatever you felt like doing.16. Why does the speaker say he would like to relive the 1960s?17. What does the speaker say was the most popular thing to do at that time?18. What do we learn about the speaker?Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.Dogs, man's best friends, have a clear strategy for dealing with angry owners—they look away. New research shows that dogs limit their eye contact with angry humans. The scientists suggest this may be an attempt to calm humans down. This behavior may have evolved as dogs gradually learn they could benefit from avoiding conflicts with humans.To conduct the tests, the University of Helsinki researchers trained 31 dogs to rest in front of a video screen. Facial photos of dogs and humans were displayed on the screen for 1.5 seconds. They showed threatening, pleasant and neutral expressions. Nearby cameras tracked the dogs' eye movements.Dogs in the study looked most at the eyes of humans and other dogs to sense their emotions. When dogs looked at expressions of angry dogs, their eyes rested more on the mouth, perhaps to interpret the threatening expressions. And when looking at angry humans, they tended to turn away their gaze.Dogs may have learned to detect threat signs from humans and respond by trying to make peace. According to researcher Sanni Somppi, avoiding conflicts may have helped dogs develop better bonds with humans.The researchers also note that dogs scan faces as a whole to sense how people are feeling, instead of focusing on a given feature. They suggest this indicates that dogs aren't sensing emotions from a single feature, but piecing together information from all facial features just as humans do.19. What do dogs do when they are faced with angry humans?20. What does a dog do when it sees the expressions of angry dogs?21. How does a dog sense people's feelings?Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Winter in many places is very cold. There is lots of snow around, and the ground freezes, which can make life difficult for animals. People in cold places live in warm houses and have learned to adapt. What do animals do? There are three main ways that animals survive the cold in winter -- sleep, adapt or migrate.Some animals, such as bears, frogs and snakes, sleep all winter. They sleep very deeply and need little or no food. While sleeping, their body temperature drops, and their heartbeat slows down. To prepare for this before winter, these animals eat extra food to become fat, which gives them the energy they need while they sleep.Other animals adapt, for example, by staying active in winter. It is often hard for them to find food. So some animals, such as mice, collect extra food before winter, and hide it. When winter comes, they return to their hiding places to eat the food. Some animals grow thicker fur, or live in tree holes or underground to stay warm.Some birds migrate by flying to a warmer place for the winter, where they can find more food. Some fly very long distances, including one kind of bird that flies from the remote north of the world all the way to the distant south. Some birds fly in groups for safety, while others fly alone.22. What does the speaker say about animals in winter?23. What do we learn about animals that sleep through winter?24. How do animals like mice adapt to the severe winter?25. Why do some birds fly in groups when migrating according to the speaker?2017年6月大学英语四级考试真题听力原文及参考答案(第2套)Part I WritingSelling Second-hand Course BooksSecond-hand course books are being sold now.

Still, 60% drivers would like to get some kind of self-driving feature, such as automatic braking or self-parking the next time they buy a new car. The attitudes are published in a new AAA survey of 1,800 drivers. Advocates of self-driving cars argue they would be safer than in cars driven by humans because they can’t get distracted or drive when tired. But those surveyed by AAA say they trust their own driving skills. Many feel the technology is too new and unproven. John Nielsen, AAA’s managing director of automotive engineering and repair, said tests suggest drivers may be overestimating their own abilities. He also believes they will be more likely to trust self-driving cars as they become more familiar with features such as automatic braking or parking. He estimated that the “comfort level” will increase in five to ten years.1. What is the finding of the AAA survey?2. What does John Nielsen say about self-driving cars?Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.One dog has been killed and multiple dogs have been injured by a snowmobile driver in what appears to be an intentional attack on competitors in the Iditarod Race in Alaska. Aliy Zirkle was the first to report an attack. A snowmobile driver had “repeatedly attempted to harm her and her team,” and one of Zirkle’s dogs had received a non-life-threatening injury. Zirkle reported the attack when she arrived in Nulato, Alaska, in the early hour of the morning. Then Jeff King, a four-time champion reported a similar attack. His team was hit by a snowmobile driver, injuring several dogs and killing a 3-year-old male dog.Reporter Zachariah Hughe says that neither King nor Zirkle was injured. Although this incident very much alters the race of the two participants competing for a win, both are going to continue on their way toward the finish line.Alaska State Troopers released a statement saying they’ve arrested Arnold Demoski, 26. He faces trial on several charges.3. What is the news report mainly about?4. What do we learn about Jeff King?Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.A tour boat turned over off the coast of Nicaragua, killing at least 13 people and leaving more passengers missing, officials said.The boat was carrying 32 people -- 25 Costa Ricans, 4 Americans and 3 Nicaraguans. The 13 dead were all Costa Rican, the foreign ministry said. The boat, traveling between Nicaragua’s Big Corn Island and Little Corn Island, turned over Saturday near the larger island.Some passengers remain missing, the Costa Rican foreign ministry said, but did not specify how many. A local radio said an unspecified number of people were rescued, including the tour boat’s owner, Hilario Blandon.Nicaraguan naval authorities had banned sea travel in the area because of bad weather and strong winds, but the tour boat proceeded anyway. Blandon, the boat’s owner, has been arrested by Nicaraguan authorities, the state-run news agency said. Both he and a crew member are being investigated for unintentional murder and exposing people to danger, according to police.5. What happened to the tour boat sailing off the Nicaraguan coast?6. How many people was the boat sailing?7. What do we know about the owner of the boat?Section BQuestions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.M: Hi, Susan, you are looking very smart today.W: I always look smart, James. Actually, I’m on my way to a job interview.M: What job? Oh, you mean for the summer holidays?W: Yeah, there’s only two weeks to go. I’ve got a second interview with that big foreign accountancy firm in the city center. You know the one.M: That’s fantastic!W: The work is just helping out with data input. You know, but the pay isn’t too bad. It might suit you too. I know they have at least two temporary positions available. And I don’t think they have anyone else yet.M: Um, if they take you on, tell them you know a friend who’d be really good too. I really need the money and the experience will look good on my resume. Maybe we’ll be working together --the dream team!W: Ok, we’ll do. If the boss likes me, I’ll mention it. It will be good to have someone around who I know. I’ll phone you afterwards. But perhaps you should put in an application anyway.M: Thanks Susan, that’s great. Listen, do you want a lift to the city? I have my dad’s car today and nothing else to do this morning.W: Sure, thanks James.M: Let’s go then. The car is over there.W: By the way, how is your knowledge of accountancy? The interviewer may ask you about it. M: No problem. I think I can survive. I might just have to review a few accountancy terms. Maybe you can give me a practice interview first.W: Of course, let’s go then. Don’t want to be late.8. Where will Susan probably get a job?9. What will Susan’s future job involve?10. Why does James want the job in that company?11. What does James say he would have to do to prepare for the interview?Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.W: There is new data out today that confirms that many Americans are not good at Math. And when it comes to everyday technology skills, we are dead last when compared to other developed countries. Here’s Gabriel Emanuel of National Public Radio.M: Let’s start with the bad news that Americans are terrible at technology skills -- using email, naming the file on a computer, using the link on a webpage or just texting someone.W: No country scored below the U.S.?M: Only one country. Poland performed as poorly as we did. Who came out the first? Japan did the best, and then Finland. If you look at data about reading and math, you’ll notice something interesting. Young adults who went to college or graduate school were doing pretty well. In literacy, they were actually doing better than their peers in other countries.W: So that’s a bit of good news.M: But when you look at Americans who have a high school diploma, they look a lot like other countries’ high school dropouts. We have a lot of work to do. That is especially true, when it comes to math. You go to the store and there is a sale. Buy one; get the second one half off. You decide to buy two. How much do you pay?W: You mean high school graduates can’t do this task in general?M: You are right. What does that tell us about our education system? Well, it tells us that we need to think about the preparedness of our students, as they are leaving high school.W: Right. And schools, employers, in fact, we all need to do something about it. Thank you, Gabrielle.12. What does the man say about Americans?13. Who performed the best in technology skills according to the man?14. In what aspect did American college students perform well?15. What do we learn from the conversation about American high school education?Section CQuestions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.Wild carrots probably evolved with the other flowering plants about 360 million years ago. Like apples, carrots are native to Central Asia. That’s why horses, which also come from Central Asia, like both apples and carrots so much.With wild carrots, the roots are white, small and skinny, so you’d have to pick a lot of wild carrots to get enough to eat. Doctors used carrot seeds and roots as medicine on the theory that foods that taste bad must be good for you.Around 800 AD, people in Central Asia managed to develop a new kind of carrot -- a purple carrot that attracted more interest from international traders. Then in the late 1500s, food scientists in the Netherlands cultivated large, straight, sweet, red carrots like the ones we eat today. But people still mostly fed carrots to horses, donkeys and pigs, and didn’t eat them themselves.In the 1600s, people in China used carrots as medicine, but they also ate carrots boiled in soup. The red color was popular for Chinese New Year celebrations.But carrots got their biggest boost during the two World Wars when food shortages forced people to eat them, and governments told everyone how healthy carrots were. Today, cooler countries grow most of the world’s carrots. Machines do most of the planting and picking, and carrots are easy to store and ship, so they are cheap almost everywhere.16. What do we learn from the talk about wild carrots?17. What does the speaker say about carrots in the late 1500s?18. Why did people turn to carrots for food during the two world wars?Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.Katherine loved Facebook. With Facebook, she could stay connected with her family no matter how far away they were. She could see their photos and read their status updates. With Facebook, she could keep her relatives up-to-date on what she was doing.Another thing Katherine loved about Facebook was that she didn’t have to think about time zones when updating family. Whenever she called her parents or other relatives, she always had to think about the time difference so that she wouldn’t wake someone up or call when she knew they were in church. Facebook was so convenient.When Catherine joined Facebook, some of her classmates at high school started to add her as a friend. At first, this didn’t bother her. She loved learning about the success of people she knew when she was just a teenager. She loved finding out people were getting married, having babies and travelling.Soon however, Katherine found herself comparing herself with the people she was reading about on Facebook. It began to make her feel bad that some people seem to be doing so much better than she was. She was also spending a lot of time on Facebook. It took a lot of time and energy to keep up with everyone’s status updates.Katherine started to think. She looked at the list of over 500 friends she had on Facebook and realized some of them were not really friends at all.19. What was one particular convenience Katherine loved of Facebook?20. How did Katherine feel when her classmates added her as a Facebook friend?21. What made Katherine feel bad about herself later on?Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Do you know where a mule comes from? It is the child of a donkey and a horse.Mules have strong muscles like horses but they eat less, can work longer, and are gentler like donkeys.George Washington was the first person in the United States to own mules. He had heard that mules made good farm animals and he contacted the U.S. ambassador in Spain to ask about them. In 1785, King Charles III of Spain sent Washington a male donkey as a gift. That male donkey became the father of the mule industry in the U.S.Every April, Maury County holds a Mule Day celebration. Held in Columbia, Tennessee, Mule Day had its beginnings as “Breeder’s Day” in the 1840s. Farmers and farm animal breeders would bring their animals to market every April to show, buy and trade. This was an important business before the days of tractors when many families made a living from farming, and mules were used as work animals. Eventually, tractors began to replace mules, making them less in demand.A parade was added to Mule Day in 1934 to attract more people. Over the years, other activities have been added. And today more than 200,000 people show up each year to watch and participate. If you visit during Mule Day celebrations, you might see mule-driving contests, square dances, horn shows, or even tree-cutting competitions.22. What does the speaker say about mules?23. What do we learn about the donkey which is said to be the father of the US mule industry?24. What did farmers usually do on Mule day in the 1840s?25. What made mules less in demand in America?2017年6月大学英语四级考试真题听力原文及参考答案(第3套)Part I WritingComputer for SaleAs I am about to graduate and leave the campus, I am going to sell my personal laptop at a low price.It is a Lenovo ThinkPad that I bought in June, 2015. It is not big but very functional. It has a four-core CPU, an independent display card of 2G, a hard disk of 500G and a screen of 15.6 inches.For the last two years, the laptop has served as my faithful aid and helped me finish most of my assignments and my thesis.

Now I will sell it at 1500 yuan or less. Anyone interested in it can contact me via email, and my mailbox is ***@.Part II Listening Comprehension注意:听力一共两套题,故第三套答案略Part IV TranslationThe Yellow River is the third longest river in Asia and the sixth longest in the world. The word “yellow” describes the color of the muddy water in the Yellow River. Originating in Qinghai province, it flows through nine provinces and finally flows into the Bohai Sea. Yellow is one of several rivers which Chinese people rely on for existence. The river basin of the Yellow River was both the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilization and the most prosperous region in early Chinese history.
