It seems individual cancer cells send out the same distress signals as wounds, tricking immune cells into helping them grow into tumours. The finding suggests that anti-inflammatory drugs could help to combat or prevent 四级模拟卷二 2 cancer. “Lifelong,if you take a small quantity of something that26 inflammation (炎症), such as aspirin,it could reduce the risk of cancer,”says Adam Hurlstone of the University of Manchester, UK. When tissueis wounded or infected it produces hydrogen peroxide. White blood cells called leukocytes (白血球) are among the first cells to react to this 27, homing in to kill the infectious agent, clean up the mess and rebuild28tissue. At first, the tissue becomes inflamed, but this subsides as the wound is cleared and rebuilding continues. Now, a study in zebra fish shows that this process is also instigated (唆使) and sustained by tumour cells. Hurlstone and colleagues29 engineered zebra fish so that skin cells and leukocytes would slow different 30 under ultraviolet light. Some zebra fish were also engineered to have cancerous skincells. The team found that the cancerous skin cells secreted (分泌) hydrogen peroxide (过氧化氢), 31 leukocytes which helped them on their way to becoming a tumour. When the team32hydrogen peroxide production in the zebra fish, the leukocytes were no longer attracted to cancerous cells and the cancer colonies reduced in 33 . More alarmingly, the researchers found that healthy skin cells 34 to the cancerous ones also produced hydrogen peroxide, suggesting that cancer cells 35 co-opt them into triggering inflammation. A. adjacent B. blocked C. changed D. colors E. damaged F. figure G. genetically H. hue I. hurtful J. number K. somehow L. somewhat M. summoning N. suppresses O.trigger Section B A. The Gulf Between College Students and Librarians Students rarely ask librarians for help, even when they need it. This is one of the sobering (令人警醒的) truths the librarians have learned over the course of a two-year, five-campus ethnographic (人种学的) study examining how students view and use their campus libraries. The idea of a librarian as an academic expert who is available to talk about assignments and hold their hands through the research process is, in fact, foreign to most students. Those who even have the word “librarian”in their vocabularies often think library staff are only good for pointing to different sections of the stacks. The ERIAL (Ethnographic Research in Illinois Academic Libraries) projectcontains a series of studies conducted at Illinois Wesleyan, DePaul University, and Northeastern Illinois University, and the University of Illinois?s Chicago and Springfield campuses. Instead of relying on surveys, the libraries included two anthropologists (人类学家), along with their own staff members, to collect data using open-ended interviews and direct observation, among other methods. The goal was to generate data that, rather than being statistically significant but shallow, provided deep, subjective accounts of what students, librarians and professors think of the library and each other at those five institutions. The most alarming finding in the ERIAL studies was perhaps the most predictable: when it comes to findingand evaluating sources in the Internet age, students are extremely Internet-dependent. Only 7 out of 30 students whom anthropologists observed at Illinois Wesleyan “conducted what a librarian might consider a reasonably well-executed search,” wrote Duke and Andrew Asher, an anthropology professor at Bucknell University, who led the project. Throughout the interviews, students mentioned Google 115 times -- more than twice as many times as any other database. The prevalence of Google in student research is well-documented, but the Illinois researchers found something they did not expect: students were not very good at using Google. They were basically clueless about the logic underlying how the search engine organizes and displays itsresults. Consequently, the students did not 四级模拟卷二 3 B. C. D. know how to build a search that would return good sources. “I think it really exploded this myth of the ?digital native,? ”Asher said. “Just because you?ve grown up searching things in Google doesn?t mean you know how to use Google as a good research tool.”E. Even when students turned to more scholarly resources, it did not necessarily solve the problem. Many seemed confused about where in the constellation (云集) of library databases they should turn to locate sources for their particular research topic: Half wound up using databases a librarian “would most likely never recommend for their topic.”For example, “Students regularly used JSTOR, thesecond-most frequently mentioned database in student interviews, to try to find current research on a topic, not realizing that JSTOR does not provide access to the most recently published articles.”Unsurprisingly, students using this method got either too many search results or too few. Frequently, students would be so discouraged they would change their research topic to something that requires a simple search. F. “Many students described experiences of anxiety and confusion when looking for resources -- an observation that seems to be widespread among students at the five institutions involved in this study,” Duke and Asher wrote. There was just one problem, Duke and Asher noted: “Students showed an almost complete lack of interest in seekingassistance from librarians during the search process.”Of all the students they observed -- many of whom struggled to find good sources, to the point of despair -- not one asked a librarian for help. G. In a separate study of students at DePaul, Illinois-Chicago, and Northeastern Illinois, other ERIAL researchers deduced several possible reasons for this. The most basic was that students were just as unaware of the extent of their own information illiteracy as everyone else. Some others overestimated their ability or knowledge. Another possible reason was that students seek help from sources they know and trust, and they do not know librarians. Many do not even know what the librarians are there for. Other students imagined librariansto have more research-oriented knowledge of the library but still thought of them as glorified ushers.H. However, the researchers did not place the blame solely on students. Librarians and professors are also partially to blame for the gulf that has opened between students and the library employees who are supposed to help them, the ERIAL researchers say. Instead of librarians, whose relationship to any given student is typically ill-defined, students seeking help often turn to a more logical source: the person who gave them the assignment—and who, ultimately, will be grading their work. Because librarians hold little sway with students, they can do only so much to reshape students? habits. They need professors? help. Unfortunately,faculty may have low expectations for librarians, and consequently students may not be connected to librarians or see why working with librarians may be helpful. On the other hand, librarians tend to overestimate the research skills of some of their students, which can result in interactions that leave students feeling intimidated and alienated (疏远的). Some professors make similar assumptions, and fail to require that their students visit with a librarian before carrying on research projects. And both professors and librarians are liable to project an idealistic view of the research process onto students who often are not willing or able to fulfill it. I. By financial necessity, many of today?s students have limited time to devote to theirresearch. Showing students the pool and then shoving them into the deep end is more likely to foster despair than self-reliance. Now more than ever, academic librarians should seek to “save time for the reader”. Before they can do that, of course, they will have to actually get students to ask for help. “That means understanding why students are not asking for help and knowing that kind of help they need,” say the librarians. J. “This study has changed, profoundly, how I see my role at the university and my understanding of who our students are”, says Lynda Duke, an academic librarian at Illinois Wesleyan. “It?s been life-changing, truly.”36. None of the students observed in the ERIAL project asked a librarian for helpwas when searching resources, even when they were in despair. 四级模拟卷二 4 37. The librarians learned from a two-year, five-campus ethnographic study that students rarely turn to librarians for help. 38. The most important reason why students did not ask librarians for help was that they did not realize their own information illiteracy. 39. Open-ended interviews and direct observation were used in the ERIAL project to make a deep and subjective report. 40. Besides students, librarians and professors are also responsible for the gap between students and library employees. 41. Students rely heavily on the Internet to find sources. 42. Professors fail to connect students to librarians, because they have low expectationsfor librarians. 43. It surprised Illinois researchers that students were not good at using Google. 44. Before librarians can realize the goal of “saving time for the reader”, they first should get students to ask for help. 45. Due to the absence of the newest articles, the frequently used database JSTOR does not necessarily help students solve their problems. Section C Passage one Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.A new study shows that students learn much better through an active, iterative (反复的) process that involves working through their misconceptions with fellow students and getting immediate feedback from the instructor. The research was conducted by a team at the University of British Columbia(UBC), Vancouver,in Canada, led by physics Nobelist Carl Wieman. In this study, Wieman trained a postdoc, Louis Deslauriers, and a graduate student, Ellen Schelew, in an educational approach, called “deliberate practice,?? that asks students to think like scientists and puzzle out problems during class. For 1 week, Deslauriers and Schelew took over one section of an introductory physics course for engineering majors, which met three times for 1 hour. A tenured physics professor continued to teach another large section using the standard lecture format. The results were dramatic: After the intervention, the students in the deliberate practice section did more than twice as well on a 12-question multiple-choice test of the material as did those in the control section．They were also moreengaged and a post—study survey found that nearly all said they would have liked the entire 15-Week course to have been taught in the more interactive manner. “It?s almost certainly the case that lectures have been ineffective for centuries. But now we?ve figured out a better way to teach” that makes students an active participant in the process, Wieman says. The “deliberate practice”method begins with the instructor giving students a multiple-choice question on a particular concept, which the students discuss in small groups before answering electronically. Their answers reveal their grasp of the topic, which the instructor deals with in a short class discussion before repeating the process with the next concept. While previousstudies have shown that this student-centered method can be more effective than teacher-1ed instruction, Wieman says this study attempted to provide “a particularly clean comparison...to measure exactly what can be learned inside the classroom.” He hopes the study persuades faculty members to stop delivering traditional lectures and ??switch over?? to a more interactive approach．More than 55 courses at Colorado across several departments now offer that approach, he says, and the same thing is happening gradually at UBC.46. What do we know about the study led by Carl Wieman in the second paragraph? A. Students need to turn to scientists for help if they have trouble. B. An introductory physics course was given to physicsmajors. 四级模拟卷二 5。

You should write at least 120words following the outline given bellow:1.竞争无处不在2.竞争与合作之间的关系3.由此我们应该……Part II Reading 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 American CharacterWhen visitors from abroad undertake to describe the American character, the results are frequently puzzling to Americans.“All Americans are Puritans; that’s what’s wrong with them,” says one.“They’re always thinking about enjoying themselves,” says another.“They spend too much time at work,” a distinguished visitor tells us. “They don’t know how to play.”“Natural as little beasts. They have no manners, no respect for their elders.”There is, of course, no single pattern of American character any more than there is a single English or Turkish or Chinese character. Personality in America is further complicated by our diverse racial and origins, by successive waves of immigration from all parts of the world, by our regional diversities. It is complicated by several hundred varieties of religious beliefs with their varying impact on the believers. It is further diversified by the generation to which the person belongs—first generation immigrant, second generation child of immigrants, and on down the line.The temptation is strong to lump all Americans together. Yet those who look a little deeper are puzzled by the seeming contradictions in American life. It is true that Americans as a whole work hard. But they also play hard. They spend more time and money in traveling, camping, hunting, watching sports, drinking, smoking, going to movies, watching television and reading newspapers and magazines than any other people in the world. Yet they also spend more money on churches, social services, hospitals and all kinds of charities. They are always in a hurry, yet they spend more time relaxing.Success as a GoalOne thing almost everyone is agreed on, including Americans, is that they place a very high valuation upon success. Success does not necessarily mean material rewards, but recognition of some sort—preferably measurable.In history, there was the richness of opportunity in a land waiting to be settled. There was the lack of a settled society with fixed ranks and classes, so that a man was certain to rise through achievement. So not to strive, not to take advantage of the opportunities in such a world, not tosucceed where success was so available—these things naturally became a sort of crime against the state. To develop the resources of a new country required energetic people, bent upon using their energies—not only for the rewards that would result to themselves, but even more important, to the community. Therefore, material success in the United States is not looked upon as selfish. Its results are seen to have commercial value.A society which values competition so highly is inevitably an aggressive one, even though the laws carefully limit the forms aggression may take. It has a toughness which is good for the development of the economy. Since high respects are given to the successful, the rewards are high. Money is rarely cherished for itself in America; it is rather a symbol and a tool. As a man’s status rises, the demands upon him also increase. He is expected to give generously to the hundreds of voluntary associations, which serve the community. Look at the Who’s Who entry for any prominent businessman, and you are likely to find him involved in an amazing number of committees and associations organized for the public good.Since there are no limits of class, there are, in theory, no limits to what he can achieve. As any boy can become President, striving is a moral obligation. Achievement, not class, is the standard by which men are judged. The real test is how far you climb from where you started.Americans love work. It is meat and drink to them. In recent years they have learned how to play, but they make work of that too. If it’s skiing, they throw themselves at it with an effort that would kill a horse. If it’s a vacation, they travel at sixty miles an hour, pause only long enough to snap pictures, and then discover what it was they went to see when they get home and look at the photographs.Americans like to be handy at all things. Nearly everyone knows how to use tools, make simple repairs to plumbing or electrical fixtures, refinish furniture or paint a wall. Far from being thought a disgrace if he performs these “unskilled” tasks, a man is thought ridiculous if he does not know how to perform them.Along with this urge to be jack-of-all-trades goes a willingness to change from one occupation to another. It surprises no one in America when the banker’s son becomes a farmer or vice versa. Or when a college professor shifts into industry, or a young man who starts out with a truck purchased on credit ends up running an enterprise with fleets of trucks spanning several states.What is an American?“I can’t make you out,” Henry James has Mrs. Tristram say to the American, “whether you are very simple or very deep.” This is a dilemma, which has often confronted Europeans. Usually they conclude that Americans are childish. But one cannot accurately call one society mature, another immature. Each has its own logic.What is it then that makes Americans recognizable wherever they go? Free from the social restraints which would make them act very differently at home, they are bent on making the most of this freedom. Americans carry with them an appearance, which is more a result of attitude than of clothing. This attitude combines a lack of class consciousness, a somewhat cheerful optimism and an inquisitiveness(好打听别人的事情) which look to the European like naivety. Also a liking for facts and figures, and above all a desire to be friendly.To sum up, American characteristics are the product of response to an unusually competitive situation combined with unusual opportunity.Americans are a peculiar people. They work like mad, then give away much of what theyearn. They play until they are exhausted, and call this a vacation. They love to think of themselves as tough-minded businessmen, yet they are pushovers(易于征服的人) for any hard luck story. They have the biggest of nearly everything including government, motorcars and debts, yet they are afraid of bigness. They also have the most traffic deaths, the most waste, the most racketeering(敲诈勒索).There is, of course, no typical American. But if you added them all together and then divided by 226,000,000 they would look something like what this essay has tried to portray. Questions:1. Unlike the English, Turkish, or Chinese, Americans don’t have a uniform pattern of character.2. Americans attach great importance to success though they don’t equate success with materials rewards.3. Generally speaking, Americans don’t think there is anything wrong with personal material success.4.Americans like skiing better than any other physical activity.5.People in different societies have different patterns of character. There is no way to decidewhich society is superior.6.Americans attribute the forming of their characteristics to the influence of different cultures.7.From the passage, we can come to a conclusion that there is little or no glory attached to beingborn wealthy or privileged in the United States8.Americans spend _____________on entertainment than people elsewhere in the world.9.It is _______________that makes Americans recognizable wherever they go.10.Besides naïve, Europeans use another word to describe Americans.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D .You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OnePersonality is to a large extent inherent—A-type parents usually bring about A-type off-spring. But the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor in the lives of their children.School is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the “win at all costs”moral standard and measure their success by academic achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A types seem in some way better than their B-type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences.By far the worst form of competition in schools is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change into B’s. Schools should allow pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The world needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child’s personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.If the preoccupation of schools with academic work was lessened, more time might be spent teaching children surer values. Perhaps selection for the caring professions, especially medicine,could be made less by good grades in chemistry and more by such considerations as sensitivity and sympathy. It is surely a mistake to choose our doctors exclusively from A-type stock. B’s are important and should be encouraged.57.According to the passage, A-type individuals are usually __________.A) impatient B) considerateC) aggressive D) agreeable58.Why is the author strongly opposed to the practice of examinations at schools?A)The pressure is too great on the studentsB)Failure rates are too high.C)The priority of a school is to let pupils get prepared for their future careers.D)The results of examinations are doubtful.59.The selection of medical professionals are currently based on ______________.A) candidates’ sensitivity B) academic achievementsC) competitive spirit D) surer values60.From the passage we can draw the conclusion that__________.A)B-type persons can find no place in a competitive society.B)The personality of a child is well established at birth.C)Schools dominate the shaping of one’s personality.D)The development of one’s personality is due to many factors.61.What does the word “disproportionate” ( Para. 3)mean?A) inappropriate B) unimportantC) out of proportion D) improperPassage TwoConsumers are frequently unaware that about 30 percent of nation wide department stores are franchised(给予经销权) with numerous outlets. Chain stores are a group of retail stores that are supervised or coordinated by centralized management. From a business perspective, chain stores have numerous advantages over independent stores, one of which is that the parent company almost always has the credit to purchase large quantities of goods to supply to its outlets and to receive a discount for placing such an order. Through the centralized system of distribution, chain stores can absorb the cost and price differential and attract consumers with various physical and psychological needs. They can also distribute their operating costs for accounting, advertising, marketing, merchandising, and transportation.In general, approximately 50 percent of gross product cost results from the associated marketing research and distribution. While research focuses on the probable market segments, it strongly considers consumer behavior and cognitive motives rather than the actual prices of goods. Similarly, the cost increase in the multiple channels of distribution accounts for about 23 percent of the unit price. By combining their marketing resources and distribution and networks, franchise outlets can avoid performing whole stages of marketing studies and layers of distribution networks to reduce unit prices. It is the central company that conducts marketing and communicates with manufacturers, thus controlling production decisions and the pricing policy. Franchises operate according to their contracts with the parent company and pay it a fraction of their net gains. They symbolize a brand name and identify their goods with a particular range of quality that sets it apart from other similar products. Essentially, chain stores convert consumer brand name loyalty into profit; this factor determines franchise proliferation and results in a relatively low degree offailure.62.What is the passage mainly about?A)The Marketing of Chain Store ProductsB)Marketing Studies and Distribution NetworksC)The Mechanism of Chain StoresD)Pricing and Distribution63.It can be inferred from the passage that chain stores____________.A)are more profitable than department storesB)can reduce their operating costs by the centralized management systemC)enjoy more freedom in pricing.D) have a greater appeal than the parent company64.Who is responsible for the marketing and communicating with the manufacturers according to the passage?A)The parent companyB)RetailersC)Chain storesD)Independent outlets65.What does “ a fraction of their net gains”(Para.2) mean?A) a certain amount of their net profitB) a small amount of their net profitC)part of their net profitD) a large amount of their net profit66.It can be inferred from the passage that the parent company probably dictates__________.A)what sales personnel are employedB)what profit an outlet makesC)how products are soldD)how goods are advisedPart V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

大学英语四级全真模拟答案(二)

洛基英语，中国在线英语教育领导品牌答案及详解Part I WritingDear Editor,I'd like to write to share my opinion on the reemployment of laid-off workers which is the topic from last week.We all know that the market economy has brought China problems as well as benefits. One of the major problems is that of finding new jobs for laid-off workers. The problem is quite serious as the workers are mostly middle-aged and poorly equipped with the computer technology, coupled with the already competitive job market for new college graduates every year.Still we can manage to find some solutions to it. To begin with, priority should be given to the expansion of the service industry because the service sector can create a great number of positions with few restrictions on age, education, and skills etc.. In addition, the laid-off workers have to update their skills to meet the demands of society. Just as the old saying goes, "God helps those who help themselves."Lastly, they should stop relying on the state and throw away any worries about their face while doing some odd jobs such as washing dishes at restaurants or sending newspapers to households.As a college student still on campus, I realize that I have the great chance and responsibility to prepare myself better for future work, like learning English harder and taking computer courses more seriously. No one is entitled to idle time away.Best wishes!Yours,MingmingPart IIReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1．Y 文章第一段第七句谈到了Most people，与题目中的the majority of people等同，该句意为Most people在无工作情况下的状态是"at a loss"，与该题"have no idea ..."表达意思相同。

四级模拟试卷（二）答案Part I WritingShould Smoking Be Completely Banned?Some people maintain that smoking should be completely banned. In their opinions, smoking is harmful not only to the smokers but also to the people around. Moreover, smoking is a waste of money. When one smokes a cigarette, he/she is actually burning money.Other people do not agree. They believe that smoking helps to sharpen one’s mind and prevents one from sleeping. And smoking does not seem to shorten one‟s life since many people who smoke live a long life. Also the government gets a lot of money from cigarette taxes.In my view, everyone has the right to choose his/her own way of life, but one does not have the right to impose his/her way of life on other people. So smoking in public places should be banned but in some areas it can be allowed.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1. B)。

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Secrets of Self-Made MillionairesThey?re just like you. But with lots of money.When you think of “millionaire”, what image comes to yo ur mind? For many of us, it?s a flashy Wall Street banker type who flies a private jet, collects cars and lives the kind of decadent lifestyle that would make Donald Trump proud.But many modern millionaires live in middle-class neighborhoods, work full-time and shop in discount stores like the rest of us. What motivatesthem isn?t material possessions but the choices that money can bring. “For the rich, it?s not about getting more stuff. It?s about having the freedom to make almost any decision you want,” says T. Harv Eker, author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind.Wealth means you can send your child to any school or quit a job you don?t like.According to the Spectrem Wealth Study, an annual survey of America?s wealthy, there are more people living the good life than ever before — the number of millionaires nearly doubled in the last decade. And the rich are getting richer. T o make it onto the Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans, a mere billionaire no longer makes the cut. This year you needed a net worth of at least $1.3 billion.If more people are getting richer than ever, why shouldn?t you be one of them? Here are the secrets revealed by the people who have at least a million dollars in liquid assets.1. Set your sights on where you?re goingTwenty years ago, Jeff Harris hardly seemed on the road to wealth. He was a college dropout who struggled to support his wife, DeAnn, and three kids, working as a grocery store clerk and at a junkyard where he melted scrap metal alongside convicts (囚犯). “At times we were so broke that we washed our cloth es in the bathtub because we couldn?t afford the Laundromat.” Now he?s a 49-year-old investment advisor and multimillionaire in York, South Carolina.There was one big reason Jeff pulled ahead of the pack: He always knew he?d be rich. The reality is that 80 percent of Americans worth at least $5 million grew up in middle-class or lesser households, just like Jeff. Wanting to be wealthy is a crucial first step. Eker says, “The biggest obstacle to wealth is fear. People are afraid to think big, but if you think small, you?ll only achieve small things.”It all started for Jeff when he met a stockbroker at a Christmas party. “Talking to him, it felt like discovering fire,” hesays. “I started reading books about investing during my breaks at the grocery store, and I began putting $25 a month in a mutual fund.” Next he taught a class at a local community college on investing. His students became his first clients, which led to his investment practice. “There were lots of struggles,” says Jeff, “but what got me thr ough it was believing with all my heart thatI would succeed.”2. Educate yourselfWhen Steve Maxwell graduated from college, he had an engineering degree and a high-tech job —but he couldn?t balance his checkbook. “I took one finance class in college but dropped it to go on a ski trip,” says the 45-year-old father of three, who lives in Windsor, Colorado. “I actually had to go to my bank and ask them to teach me how to read my statement (结算单).”One of the biggest obstacles to making money is not understanding it:Thousands of us avoid investing because we just don?t get it. But to make money, you must be financially literate. “It bothered me that I didn?t understand this stuff,” says Steve, “so I read books and magazines about money management and investing, and I asked every financial whiz (高手) I knew to explain things to me.”He and his wife started applying the lessons: They made a point to live below their means. They never bought on impulse, always negotiated better deals (on their cars, cable bills, furniture) and stayed in their home long after they could afford a more expensive one. They also put 20 percent of their annual salary into investments.Within ten years, they were millionaires, and people werecoming to Steve for advice. “Someone would say,…I need to refinance my house —what should I do?? A lot of times, I wouldn?t know the answer, but I?d go find it and learn something in the process,” he says.In 2003, Steve quit his job to become part owner of a company that holds personal finance seminars for employees of corporations like Wal-Mart. He also started going to real estate investment seminars, and it?s paid off: He now owns $30 million worth of investment properties, including apartment complexes, a shopping mall and a quarry.“I was an engi neer who never thought this life was possible, but all it truly takes is a little self-education,” says Steve. “You can do anything once you understand the basics.”3. Passion pays offIn 1995, Jill Blashack Strahan and her husband were barely making ends meet. Like so many of us, Jill was eager to discover her purpose, so she splurged on a session with a life coach. “When I told her my goal was to make $30,000 a year, she said I was setting the bar too low. I needed to focus on my passion, not on the paych eck.”Jill, who lives with her son in Alexandria, Minnesota, owned a gift basket company and earned just $15,000 a year. She noticed when she let potential buyers taste the food items, the baskets sold like crazy. Jill thought, Why not sell the food directly to customers in a fun setting? With $6,000 in savings, a bank loan and a friend?s investment, Jill started packaging gourmet foods in a backyard shed and selling them at taste-testin g parties. It wasn?t easy. “I remember sitting outside one day, thinki ng we were three months behind on our house payment, I had two employees I couldn?t pay, and I ought to get a real job. But thenI thought, No, this is your dream. Recommit and get to wo rk.”She stuck with it, even after her husband died three years later. “I live by the law of abundance, meaning that even when there are challenges in life, I look for the win-win,” she says.The positive attitude worked: Jill?s backyard company, Tastefull y Simple, is now a direct-sales business, with $120 million in sales last year.

Should Smoking Be Completely BannedPart II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quicklyand answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-7,choose the best answer from the four choices marked ［A］,［B］,［C］and ［D］. For questions 8-10,completethe sentences with the information given in the passage.Space Our Future in Space: It Has Already Begun!We are all space travelers. But we’ve stayed close to home until now. One day,we may leave our “mother ship”Earth to make our home among the stars.A giant, spherical “spaceship”, about 8,000 miles in diameter, is speedingthrough the solar system right now. It is cruising at an incredible 66,600 milesper hour.It’s not a giant, Star Wars mother ship. It’s spaceship Earth, the home ofover four billion people. This water coated spaceship has been traveling throughthe universe for about five billion years. Only within the past 25 years, however,have some of its passengers broken free of Earth’s gravityBut 25 years from now, many people, including you, might live in an orbitingspace station 200 miles above the Earth.Space CitiesScientists have already designed special space factories. These factories will take advantage of the absence of gravity (zero gravity) to produce everything from life saving drugs to perfect ball bearings.Other scientists have designed space colonies, complete with farms, schools,and artificial day and night. Hundreds, or even thousands, of people will live, work,play—even go toschool, far above the Earth.Our conquest of space, of course, has already begun. We have explored part of the Moon, sent robot spaceships onto the surface of Venus and Mars, and aimed space probes past the planets of Jupiter and Saturn.Last June, one robot ship, Pioneer 10, left our solar system forever. Andastronauts from both the Soviet Union and the United States have lived in spacestations.The conquest of space, without question, is one of the greatest adventures human beings have ever set out on. But it may be more than a great adventure. Some scientiststhink the conquest of space may be a necessity for survival of the human species.We are tearing up more and more of the Earth to get raw materials for industry.And we are polluting the air and water as we manufacture products that we need or want. Almost everything that seems to make our lives more comfortable, and fromelectricity to pesticides, uses up or alters a piece of our planet’s natural environment.Why Go into Space?Yet our solar system is full of resources. The moon is chockfull of valuable metals. So are the asteroids, the small, rocky, planet like bodies orbiting the sun most of them between Mars and Jupiter. These metals, if we can get them, could be used to build factories and space stations.Also, in space, there is no atmosphere to filter out the sun’s energy. There is plenty of solar energy to be turned into electricity for manufacturing, for creating comfortable living conditions.Getting away from Earth has other advantages, too. Modern industry uses manykinds of metal alloys (mixtures of metal thatare better for certain purposes thanpure metals). Yet some metal alloys either can’t be made or are very expensive to make on Earth because of gravity. For instance, certain metals don’t mix well onEarth. But in zero gravity, molten (hot, liquid) metals mix more evenly. This is because there is no gravity to pull the heavier metals down, while the lighter ones float on top.From space, too, we can look down on the Earth and study the atmosphere, its weather, and the effects of air pollution.And because there is no strong gravity to break free from, our future homes away from Earth will be convenient starting points for travel to distant planets.But, while going into space might solve some problems, outer space can also be a dangerous place. For example, in outer space, we have to protect ourselves from the dangers of ultraviolet light and cosmic rays. Ultraviolet light from the sun can give us bad sunburns right here on Earth. Yet, Earth’s atmosphere screens out most of that harmful radiation. Cosmic rays are tiny high energy particles from outer space. Again, the Earth shields us from most of them.At Home in Space?But in space, without special protection, we would be exposed to much stronger radiation from ultraviolet light and cosmic rays. Also, in the zero gravity of outer space, our bones will lose calcium and become weaker. This will be more of a problem the longer people stay out in space. Doctors are looking for a way to keep our bones from losing calcium in outer space. And a small spaceship just might “drive you batty” after a while. But even on a short trip in outer space, you might not feelas well as you’d like to. Space travel could make you seasick!Yet, these risks won’t keep people from going into space. Eventually, an Earth like environment will be built in space. And they will be populated by people with many different interests: medicine, construction, farming, teaching, mining, and so on.The next hundred years will be filled with other worldly adventures, exciting scientific discoveries, and danger, as humans leave Earth—perhaps forever.Aging in SpaceSuppose a space traveler is moving at a velocity of 186,200 miles per second.For every hour that passes for him, 30 hours pass on Earth. If he travels for a year in this fashion (having accelerated instantaneously) and then turns around and comes back at this speed (having turned around instantaneously), he will find that while he has seemed to himself to have traveled two years, the men on Earth would claim he had been absent for 30 years.Suppose the space traveler had left at the age of 30, leaving behind a twin brother also aged 30. When he returned he would be 32, but his stay at home twinbrother would be 60. That is why the “clock paradox”, is sometimes called the “twin paradox”.Of course it takes quite a long while to accelerate to a high speed, and a long while to make a turn and head back again, so conditions aren’t quite as clear cut as just described.1.The giant, spherical spaceship mentioned in the passage is.［A］the outer space［B］a man made spaceship［C］the planet Earth［D］the Star Wars mothe ship2.Some persons have traveled into outer space after conquering within the past 25years.［A］the universe［B］Earth’s gravity［C］the earth［D］outer space3.We have explored or sent robot spaceships to the following space except.［A］the moon［B］Venus［C］Jupiter［D］Mars4.Why is the conquest of space more than a great adventure?［A］Because it is full of challenges for human beings.［B］Because it may be necessary for human beings to survive.［C］Because it is the greatest adventure in human history.［D］Because it is more exciting than any other adventures.5.The moon and the asteroids are alike with respect to their .［A］size and moving ways［B］comfortable living conditions［C］rich and valuable metals［D］solar energy6.Why can’t ultraviolet light scorch our skin on Earth as seriously as it does in space places?［A］Because the Earth’s atmosphere can make ultraviolet light less harmful.［B］Because ultraviolet can’t reach the Earth at all.［C］Because the Earth is far away from those planets radiating ultraviolet light.［D］Because other space places is near from those planets radiating ultravioletlight.7.In spite of many risks, scientists will finally build in space suitable for humans to live.［A］an environment without ultraviolet light［B］a lot of homes［C］an Earth like environment［D］an environment with atmosphere8.The reason some metal alloys can’t be made on Earth is that the heavier metals together with the lighter ones.9.In space, there is no atmosphere to filter out the sun’s energy.

四级模拟测试二答案Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)【全文翻译】我们都是太空游客。

但是直到如今，我们仍然离家很近。

总有一天，我们会离开我们的“母亲船”——地球——在一些星球上安家落户。

现在，一个直径大约8,000英里的巨大球形“宇宙飞船”正飞驰在太阳系中。

其巡航速度简直不可思议，每小时达66,600英里。

它不是《星球大战》中的母亲船这样的庞然大物，而是地球这艘太空船，上面载有40亿人。

这艘由水覆盖的太空飞船一直在宇宙中遨游了大约50亿年。

然而，就在过去的25年里，有一些乘客摆脱了地球的重力。

今后25年，许多人，包括你，可能会生活在一个距离地球200英里的轨道空间站上。

空间城市科学家们已经设计出特殊的空间工厂。

这些工厂将充分利用无重力(零重力状态)来制造从挽救生命的药物到完美的滚珠轴承的任何东西。

其他科学家也设计出拥有农场、学校和人造昼夜的太空居民区。

成百上千、甚至成千上万的人将会在这些远离地球的太空居民区生活、工作和玩耍。

当然我们对太空的征服已经开始了。

我们已经登上了月球，把机器人宇宙飞船送上了金星和火星，展开了对木星和土星的空间探测。

去年6月，先锋10号机器人飞船飞出了太阳系，苏联和美国的宇航员也居住在了空间站。

毫无疑问，征服太空是人类着手进行的最伟大的历险之一，但它远不止是一个伟大的历险。

科学家们认为，征服太空可能是人类生存的需要。

为了获得工业原料，我们对地球造成越来越多的破坏。

在生产我们所需或想要的产品时，我们污染了空气和水。

几乎所有一切看起来使我们的生活更舒适的东西，从电能到杀虫剂，都部分地消耗或改变了地球的自然环境。

为什么要进入太空?我们的太阳系资源丰富。

月球上储藏着大量的贵重金属，位于火星和木星之间的大多数小行星也如此。

这些小行星类似行星，围绕着太阳旋转，体积小、岩石多。

如果我们能获得这些金属，可以用它们来制造工厂和空间站。

）Story ReaderAbout Story ReaderParents dearly hope their children learn to read well. They also hope their children learn to read quickly and easily, so that they’re ready for the demands put on them by school and the world.Kids want to learn how to read, but they also crave entertainment, whether it’s quiet and passive or dynamic and interactive. The aims of the Story Reader line of electronic books are to entertain children and to introduce them to the process of learning how to read in a gentle and enjoyable way. In this article, we’ll show you how Story Reader works and if it accomplishes that goal.Story Reader is a compact, roughly 12-inch-by-12-inch plastic case (with a carrying handle ) that opens to reveal an actual book that fits snugly（紧紧地）into the Reader itself. Story Reader’s core feature is that it "reads" the book aloud to a child as he follows along. The child turns the pages when prompted by the Story Reader or at his own pace.Books have both text and illustrations. The electro nic book responds to the child’s wishes. The Story Reader speaks the text for the current page. If the child turns back a few pages, the Reader recognizes that page and reads it again. Kids react well to this interactivity because it instills a sense of control over the story.There are Three Story Reader ProductsThe basic Story Reader, introduced in 2003, is as described above and is intended for kids three years of age and older.The device has a volume control but no on/off switch--a deliberate choice so kids can simply open it up and begin reading. It takes four AAA batteries (or operates on household current with an optional adaptor（电源适配器）) and retails for around $20.Find out more information about the more than 60 titles at the Story Reader website.Early in 2006, Publications International, Ltd.--Story Reader’s publisher--introduced My First Story Reader, designed for newborns to kids up to age three. As with the original, a narrator reads thestory aloud, this time from a 12-page book made from a heavier paperstock that includes sound effects and music to enliven the experience.My First Story Reader features two play modes, one with narration, the other that asks questions about the images on each page. The child can press any of three buttons to answer basic questions about shapes and colors. The last two pages of each My First Story Reader book features a sing-along rhyming melody. My First Story Reader retails for about $20.Late in 2006, Publications International introduced a video version of Story Reader called Story Reader Video Plus for kids up to the age of seven. Retailing for about $35, it combines a stand-alone Story Reader with an "Animated Story Mode" that plays through your television and includes a "Learning Game Mode".The Animated Story Mode works just as it sounds--when you connect it to your television through color-coded cables, the story appears on screen and changes as your child turns the pages. Kids get to the Learning Game Mode by turning to the last page of the book. There, they can choose from five educational games. While it depends on the story, generally there are pattern games, memory games, and platform games. Similar to Nintendo games like Super Mario Brothers, in a platform game the child uses the included controller to guide him through the environment and conquer obstacles.Story Reader Video Plus isn’t a video game, technically, and Publications International bills the Story Reader line more as electronic books than toys. This reassures many parents, and it’s why Story Reader is sold in bookstores and in the book section of major retailers.What about the Educational Underpinnings（基础）of Story Reader?Studies show an alarming decline in reading rates among all age groups in America, especially among the young. Children are bombarded on a daily basis with multiple forms of entertainment that compete with traditional learning.Kids naturally emulate（模仿）the adults in their lives, and seeing their parents and other family members enjoy reading is a powerful motivator. Establishing and keeping a Read-At-Home Night helps families spend time together and helps form lifelong reading habits in children.Here’s how you do it:· Set aside one night a week in your household and call it "Read-At-Home Hour"--or anything you prefer. Establish a time allotment that works for your family, for example, 30 minutes or an hour.·Minimize interruptions from the TV, computer, and video games--and turn on the telephone answering machine.· Choose one book for the entire family to read aloud together, or encourage individual family members to choose their own books to read quietly. Electronic books can work in this context, as well.· Finally, sit down, relax, and read.注意：1-7题答案填涂在答题卡上；8-10题答案写在答题纸上。

大学英语四级模拟试题（二）答案解析PartⅠWriting【参考范文】In the past two years of my college life，1have never ceased to think what kind of work I shall take up upon graduation.Although my ideas are not consistent，I have now decided to start a business of my own as my lifelong career.A variety of factors have led me to make this decision over other more lucrative ones.To begin with，running my own business means freedom and independence.As a person having my own business，it can fully express myself and make my own decisions，a privilege not everyone can have，even those with highly-paid positions.More importantly，I like starting my own business in that it combines with interest and work.A person can only devote himself to doing the best when he is really interested in one thing.What's more，start a business of my own offers a certain peace of mind.No more rushing to catch a morning bus，no more worries about when I will get fired，no more anxious to please a boss.I do not want to miss this entrepreneurial era，and nothing，not even a big salary，can equal for the satisfaction of being your own boss and a gentle peace of life.PartⅡListening Comprehension1~5B D C D C6~10A D B C A11~15B A B C A16~20D A C A C21~25B D B D CSection ANews Report OneNew York State plans to shut off the thundering waters of Niagara Falls-gain.At least,the American side of the falls.This“once in a lifetime”event actually may take place twice in some folks’lives.[1]The New York State parks system wants to turn off the falls on the American side sometime in the next two to three years to replace two115-year-old stone bridges that allow pedestrians,park vehicles and utilities access to Goat Island.[2]The American side of the falls were shut off in1969to study the buildup of rock at the base of the falls.When that happened,people came from all over the world to see the falls turned off. People are curious by nature.They want to see what’s underneath.In fact,those who first came to have a look did see something.[2]They found millions of coins on the bottom.Questions1and2are based on the news report you have just heard.1.Why does New York State want to turn off Niagara Falls?2.What did people find when Niagara Falls were shut off in1969?News Report TwoThe Tunisian government said Monday that45people have been killed after gunmen attacked a town near the border with Libya.[3]The Interior and Defense ministries said that the Tunisian government has closed its two border crossings with Libya because of the attack.The Tunisian military has sent reinforcements and helicopters to the area,and authorities have been hunting several attackers who were still at large.The violence came amid increasing international concern about Islamic State extremists in Libya. Officials of the Tunisian government are especially worried after dozens of tourists were killed in the attacks in Tunisia last year.[4]Defense Minister Farhat Horchani said last week that German and American security experts were expected to come to help Tunisia devise a new electronic video supervision system on its border with Libya.Tunisia was targeted last year by three attacks that left70people dead and were claimed by Islamic State.Questions3and4are based on the news report you have just heard.3.What did the Tunisian government do after the gunmen's attack?4.What were German and American security experts expected to do in Tunisia?News Report Three[5]Three university students in Santiago,Chile,have developed a plant-powered device to charge their mobile phones.[6]The three engineering students got the idea for the device while sitting in their school's courtyard.Their invention is a small biological circuit they call E-Kaia.[7]It captures the energy which plants produce during photosynthesis-a process of converting sunlight into energy.A plant uses only a small part of the energy produced by that process.The rest goes into the soil. E-Kaia collects that energy.The device plugs into the ground and then into a mobile phone.The E-Kaia solved two problems for the engineering students.They needed an idea for a class project.They also needed an outlet to plug in their phones.One of the student inventors,Camila Rupcich,says the device changes the energy released from the plant into low-level power to charge phones.The E-Kaia is able to fully recharge a mobile phone in less than two hours.Questions5to7are based on the news report you have just heard.5.What did the three university students invent?6.When did they get the idea for the invention?7.What does the speaker say about the invention?Section BConversation OneM:Good morning.What can I do for you?W:Good morning.Could I talk to Jeffry Harding please?M:Speaking.W:Hello,Jeff.It's Helen.[8]I got your message on the answering machine.What's the problem?

It's great to build a memory for them too.There are not a lot of these ice-cream trucks around anymore.The parents come opt barefoot and screaming,ready to buy ice-cream;they remember when they were kids and they saw a truck,"she said.While the treats may be ice cold,Maria has a warm heart for little faces.[18]Her truck features a donation bucket for kids who don't have money for ice-cream."When there are three kids and only two of them have money,I always make sure the third one gets something because I can't drive away and have that third one not have something,"she said. Questions16to18are based on the passage you have just heard.16.What does the speaker say about Maria McCartney?17.Why does Maria go into the mobile ice-cream business?18.Why does Maria put a donation bucket in her truck?Passage TwoWe know we have to pay for what we get.If we buy food,we have to pay for it.If a doctor treats us,we know there will be a bill to pay.These are private bills.But there are also public bills to be paid.They are paid by the government.In turn we get the needed services.[19]We pay for these services through taxes.What would happen if everyone stopped paying taxes?The water supply would stop;the streets might not be cleaned;schools would be closed.We would not want to live in such a city.[20]The chief duty of every government is to protect persons and property.More than three-fourths of government expenses are used for this purpose.The next largest amount of public money goes to teach and train our citizens.Billions of dollars each year are spent on schools and libraries.Also,a large amount of public funds is spent on roads.Most of the needed funds is raised by taxes.The law orders us to pay taxes.We have no choice in the matter.[21]Years ago the government made money by selling public lands.But most of the best public lands have now been sold.There are still some public lands that contain oil,coal and other natural resources.They could be sold,but we want to save them for future years.[19]So,we all must pay our share for the services that make our lives comfortable.Questions19to21are based on the passage you have just heard.19.What does the speaker mainly talk about?20.What is most of the government money used for?21.How did the government raise money to pay public bills in the past?Passage Three[25]Did you know that,besides larger places like France and Germany,Europe is home to several extremely tiny countries?One of these countries contains less than a square mile of land. Another is surrounded on all sides by Italy.Yet each is an independent land,with its own government, trade and customs.[22]One of the best known of these small countries IS Monaco.It is situated on the Mediterranean Sea and surrounded by;France on three sides.[23]Monaco became familiar to Americans when its ruler,Prince Rainier,married the American actress Grace Kelly.Rainier's family has ruled Monaco almost continuously since1297.The land has been independent for over three hundred years.[24]Andorra,with an area of some200square miles,is considerably larger than Monaco.This country is located in the Pyrenees Mountains,with France on one side and Spain on the other. Potatoes and tobacco are grown in Andorra's steep mountain valleys.[24]One of the products it exports is clothing.Andorra is also known for its excellent skiing locations.Within the Alps in Central Europe is Liechtenstein,a tiny country of about30,000people who speak mostly German.Liechtenstein uses the same money as its neighbor Switzerland,but it has been an independent country since the1860s.Taxes are low,so many businesses have their headquarters here.The country makes and export a lot of machinery.[25]Other small,independent states in Europe are San Marino and Luxembourg.Each of these has unique qualities as well.Questions22to25are based on the passage you have just heard.22.What does the speaker say about Monaco?23.Why did Monaco become familiar to Americans according to the speaker?24.What is one of the products Andorra exports?25.What does the speaker mainly talk about?PartⅢReading Comprehension26~30K O J D G31~35B E M L C36~40C J G D K41~45E B H F I46~50C A D A B51~55D D B A CSection A当有人犯罪时，我们总希望惩罚与罪行相当。

大学英语四级模拟测试（二）（附答案）

听力（略）Part II Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D),and you should decide which is the best choice. (40 points)Passage 1Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:An unusual cooperation between the local university and other education providers in East Anglia has seen the establishment of Norwich's new Learning Shop. At the city center shop, local people can look through booklets and leaflets to find out about learning opportunities ranging from evening classes to postgraduates（研究生）degrees. Skilled staff are on hand to give accurate information about courses and training in the region.More than 11,000 people have visited the shop since it opened in 1997. The majority of inquiries have been about courses in further education, but 17 percent have related to higher education in general.Customer feedback（反馈）confirms how valuable the resource is. A woman's comment is typical: "It's a brilliant idea ―less daunting than going to the different institutions." A seller told us: "This really gives you hope you can get back into something."Fellow institutions are welcome to set up exhibitions and events at the shop: to date, these have included poetry readings, a recorder concert and numerous exhibitions and displays. The shop is staffed by two advisers and other colleagues from the fellow institutions in the region.Speaking at the "Norwich as a Learning City" conference, Prof. Mike Campell at the local university, said the first barrier（障碍）to learning was lack of information. The Learning Shop aims to break down that barrier.26. For what purpose is the Learning Shop set up?A) To help people know more about higher education.B) To sell booklets and leaflets of the institutions.C) To provide educational opportunities to old people.D) To promote courses and training in the region.27. The word "daunting" (Line 2, Para. 3) is close to________ in meaning.A) disappointingB) boringC) worryingD) discouraging28. What are the visitors to the Learning Shop mainly interested in?A) Further education courses.B) University degree courses.C) Evening classes.D) Part-time courses.29. The events we can find in the Learning Shop include the following EXCEPT ________.A) recorder concertsB) local conferencesC) poetry readingsD) displays and exhibitions30. Which of the following is TRUE according to Prof. Mike Campell?A) The city authorities should run more learning shops.B) People have difficulties in finding out about learning opportunities.C) The staff should provide customers with accurate information.D) Most people want to go back to college.Passage 2Question 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Not all language is verbal. Some of our communication occurs without words. We often useour entire bodies for communication. We may raise our eyebrows（眉毛）to indicate surprise. Perhaps we nod our heads to show that we agree with something. There are hundreds of nonverbal signals that can be used to communicate. These signals are part of language, and they are governed by rules in the same way that our spoken language is. For this reason, people who speak different languages often use different nonverbal signals as well.In addition to verbal communication and the type of nonverbal communication discussed above, there are other message systems that we use to communicate. When we speak to some people, we may stand very close to them, while we may stand far away from other people. Use of space, then, is a way we can communicate the relationship we feel with another person. The waywe dress can also communicate for us. The person who wears dirty jeans and a T-shirt communicates a different attitude from a person who wears neat trousers and an attractive shirt.We can even use time to communicate. The person who is on time for an appointment shows a different attitude from the person who is an hour late does. Can you think of other message systems we use in communication?31. Language, according to the passage, is actually ________.A) verbal onlyB) verbal and nonverbal as wellC) the use of our bodiesD) nonverbal signals32. Nonverbal signals ________.A) have few rulesB) are more useful than speechC) are often used in communicationD) are entirely separate from language33. If a person wears a suit and a tie, it is a matter of ________.A) attitudeB) relationshipC) formalityD) habit34. People who do not speak the same language ________.A) have no nonverbal signals in commonB) cannot communicate with nonverbal signalsC) often have different nonverbal signalsD) use the same nonverbal signals35. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a form of nonverbal communication?A) Pace.B) Time.C) Dressing.D) Space.Passage 3Question 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:The market is a concept. If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale, you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbors and some to the manager of alocal store. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you may stop producing.If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing service for the market. If your father is a steelworker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or services for the market.When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. If you spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations, and restaurants, you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck（送货车）, he is buying your labor in the labor market.The market is everywhere, and it's very real. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won't be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It's telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn't want you to do.36. When we are producing for the market, ______.A) our life will become much easierB) we can help others in a better wayC) our efforts are directed by the marketD) we can avoid much waste of money37.

What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A) To show what the market can do.B) To explain what the market consists of.C) To indicate how to succeed in the market.D) To argue for the necessity of the market.Passage 4Question 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:It is important to point out that the electronic universe is not without problems. Sometimesdata bank producers do not make their products up-to-date as frequently as they should; other on-line systems seem to be forever responding to a single command. In addition, despite the simplicity of concept, no one would argue that the search for information is easy. It can be difficult, for example, to locate the data bank that most likely contains the information you seek.On the other hand, the electronic universe is still young. For all its practical purpose, it is only a decade old, and like our own physical universe, it is constantly expanding. According to Cuadra Associates, publisher of an authoritative directory（指南）of data banks, many new data banks become available on-line each business day.There is every reason to believe that this trend will continue. Indeed, I have long been convinced that in the future, communications and on-line information retrieval（检索）may well be seen as the single most important result of the revolution in personal computers. Indeed, the electronic universe holds as yet unimagined possibilities.41. Which of the following is mentioned as a problem concerning the electronic universe?A) There is no authoritative directory for the use of data banks.B) Data bank producers do not modernize their products as needed.C) The electronic universe is expanding too fast.D) On-line data banks can not meet the needs of a single command.42.

What will be expected to be the most significant achievement in the revolution in personal computers?A) Locating the data bank containing your information.B) Up-to-date information and rapid communications.C) Communications and on-line information retrieval.D) Frequent responses to computers' command.45. The passage mainly discusses ________.A) the increase of on-line informationB) the improvement of personal computersC) the expansion of electronic universeD) the new ways of communicationsPart III Vocabulary and StructureDirections: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part.

大学英语考试四级最新模拟试题（二）_四六级_

大学英语考试四级最新模拟试题（二）Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil.Passage 1How do you send a message to a submerged submarine, particularly one carrying mi Water may not look like a barrier to communications, but appearances are deceiving. Water strongly absorbs all electromagnetic waves except blue green light and extremely low frequency radio waves. The very low frequency waves now used to contract submarines penetrates only a short distance into the ocean, so the craft must either surface or send up and antenna (天线) to receive messages, thereby increasing its weakness. A laser system --- accurate over long distances and capable of carrying more data than the very low frequency waves --- would talk to submarine at their normal depths.In the system, a very broad beam spreading out freely in all directions would be scanned (扫描) over thousands of square miles of ocean so that it wouldn't endanger boats, birds or fish——or the submarines it is supposed to reach.Since only a small fraction of the laser system will make its way through the air and ocean, receivers mounted on the submarines must be able not only to detect the laser but also to discriminate between it and sunlight. So, military scientists are now working hard on special filter that allow through only the precise wavelengths emitted by the laser. The filtered light, whentransformed into electrical signal, can then be decoded. Military planners are confident that laser communication with submarines is feasible.1. Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss?A. Missiles carried by submerged submarines.B. Messages sent by submerged submarines.C. Blue-green lasers used by submerged submarines.D. The way to send a message to submerged submarines.2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Water is a barrier to radio communication.B. Lasers have found wide application in submarine communication.C. Water absorbs all kinds of electromagnetic waves.D. Very low frequency radio waves cannot be used to contact submarines.3. Which of the following is NOT true of a laser system?A. It is able to make its way through water.B. It is able to communicate with submarines at work.C. Its beam reaches a submerged submarine with the help of an antenna.D. It is able to carry more data than low frequency waves.4. The reference word“it”(Sentence 1, para.3) refers to .A. the airB. the laser beamC. the oceanD. the submarine5. Who would be very much interested in the passage?A. Missile buildersB. Military scientistsC. FishermenD. Ship builderPassage 2The West begun to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous work re-assessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians hadclaimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some reputable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first. China's invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where a static society under a relatively benevolent regime of scholar-gentry contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West's mistakes?6. So far, how many volumes have been published?A. Five.B. Four.C. Three.D. None.7. The first volume was published .A. ten years agoB. last yearC. five years agoD. twenty years ago8. In Line 7, the word“skeptical" means .A. doubtfulB. worriedC. sadD. angry9. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. Gunpowder.B. Needle.C. Paddle boats.D. Bridge design.10. The best title for this passage is .A. China's InventionsB. Comparisons Between the East and the WestC. China Is Catching UpD. Situations in China Passage 3Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dustbin would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.The new concept of recycling waste is taking shape at the British technological laboratory at Warren Spring, not far from the north of London. Today, the laboratory spends four times as much money in studying recycling as it did five years ago.The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well. Methods have been discovered, for example, for removing the ink from newsprint so that the paper can be used again, and for obtaining valuable oils and gases from old motor car types. All these ideas are already being made use of, but what is new is the idea of combining them on such a large scale in a single plant designed to recycle most types of waste.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal spikes which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through apowerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that crushers and rollers will break up everything that can be broken finally, and the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; finely the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.The first full-scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. But in some big industrial areas, where rubbish has been dumped for so long that there are no holes left to fill up with rubbish, these new automatic recycling plants may be built sooner. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.11. Projects for recycling waste in Britain .A. will not be started for at least fifteen yearsB. are being developed all over BritainC. have not yet been fully testedD. have been abandoned because they are too expensive12. The purpose of the latest recycling project isA. to prevent people from putting rubbish into holesB. to find a way of destroying all kinds of wasteC. to extract useful raw materials from the wasteD. to find out how much raw materials should be provided of people want to recycle the waste13. The new type of recycling plant will .A. recycle only paper and rubberB. not recycle metals, paper or rubberC. recycle paper, rubber and metalsD. not recycle steel, lead or copper14. The first recycling plants .A. have already been built in large industrial areasB. will not be built for at least fifteen yearsC. will probably be built in the next fifteen yearsD. will be too expensive to build near big cities.15.“Well on with" in the first paragraph probably means .A. finished withB. nearing completionC. getting ready to startD. making improvements onPassage 4People with disabilities comprise a large part of the population. It is estimated that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are“developmental", i.e., they occur prior to the individual's twenty-second birthday, often from genetic conditions, and are severe enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc. Most other disabilities are considered“adventitious", i.e., accidental or caused by outside forces.Prior to the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unfortunately, these basics are often not available. Civil liberties such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and gain employment have historically been denied on the basis of disability.In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these infringements of civil rights. Congress responded by passing major legislation recognizing people with disabilities as a protected class under civil rights statutes.Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently. It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do work are underemployed. About two-thirds live ator below the official poverty level.Significant barriers, especially in transportation and public awareness, prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer prohibited by law from marrying, a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.It will only be when public attitudes advance as far as laws have that disabled people will be fully able to take their rightful place in society.16. A“developmental" disability .A. develops very slowly over timeB. is caused forcesC. occurs in youth and affects developmentD. is getting more and more severe17. Most disabled people used to die early because .A. disabilities destroyed major bodily functionsB. they were not very well looked afterC. medical techniques were not availableD. they were too poor to get proper treatment18. In the author's opinion, to enable the disabled people to take their rightful place in society.A. more laws should be passedB. public attitudes should be changedC. government should provide more aidsD. more public facilities should be set up19. Which of the following cannot be inferred from the passage ?A. Many disabled people may remain single for their whole life.B. The public tends to look down upon the disabled people.C. The disabled people feel inferior to those surrounding them.D. Discriminatory laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others.20. The best title for this passage might be .A. Handicaps of People with DisabilitiesB. The difficulties of the DisabledC. The Causes for DisabilitiesD.
