9. ⼈物对某件事物的观点或态度，或考⽣从对话中能获得什么信息或结论。

该类的题难度较⼤，类型也⽐较繁多复杂。

需要考⽣全⾯理解对话内容。

What does the man mean (imply) ? What does the woman’s answer suggest? What can we learn from the conversation? What can be concluded from this conversation? 如： W: You seem to have a lot of work to do at your office. You’re always staying late and working overtime. M: That’s true. But it’s no bother to me. The work is interesting. I don’t mind working extra hours at all. Q: How does the man feel about his job? A: He enjoys it very much. B: He doesn’t care much about it. C: He doesn’t mind even though it’s tedious. D. He hates working overtime. 本题的关键是The work is interesting. 询问对⽅的观点和态度问题中有⼀⼤类是含有虚拟语⽓的。

该类型⼀直是英语四级热门考点。

这就要求同学们了解虚拟语⽓的表意功能，根据虚拟语⽓判断正确选项。

如： W: I’m thinking of going to Austin for a visit. Do you think it’s worth seeing? M: Well, I wish I had been there. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? A. The man is planning a trip to Austin. B. The man has not been to Austin before. C. The man doesn’t like Austin. D. The man has been to Austin before. I wish I had been there.说明说话⼈没有去过。

Finally, when thepassage is read for the third time, you should check what you havewritten.“Don’t take many English courses; they won’t help you get a decent job.”“Sign up for management classes, so you’ll be ready to join the family business when you graduate.”Sound 26 ? Many of us have heard suggestions like these 27 by parents or others close to us. Such comments often seem quite reasonable.Why, then, should suggestions like these be taken with 28 ? The reason is they relate to decisions you should make. You are the one who must 29 their consequences.One of the worst reasons to follow a particular path in life is that other people want you to. Decisions that affect your life should be your decisions—decisions you make after you’ve considered various 30 and chosen the path that suits you best.Making your own decisions does not mean that you should 31 the suggestions of others. For instance, your parents do have their own unique experiences that may make their advice helpful, and having 32 in a great deal of your personal history, they may have a clear view of your strengths and weaknesses.

This principle tries to make public goods similar to 36 goods. It seems reasonable that a person who often goes to the movies pays more in 37 for movie tickets than a person who rarely goes. And 38 , a person who gets great benefit from a public good should pay more for it than a person who gets little benefit.The gasoline tax, for instance, is sometimes 39 using the benefits principle. In some states, 40 from the gasoline tax are used to build and maintain roads. Because those who buy gasoline are the same people who use the roads, the gasoline tax might be viewed as a 41 way to pay for this government service.The benefits principle can also be used to argue that wealthy citizens should pay higher taxes than poorer ones, 42 because the wealthy benefit more from public services. Consider, for example, the benefits of police protection from 43 . Citizens with much to protect get greater benefit from police than those with less to protect. Therefore, according to the benefits principle, the wealthy should 44 more than the poor to the cost of 45 the police force. The same argument can be used for many other public services, such as fire protection, national defense, and the court system.Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.

Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letteron Answer Sheet 2.Grow up Colored[A] You wouldn’t know Piedmont anymore—my Piedmont, I mean—the town inWest Virginia where I learned to be a colored boy.[B] The 1950s in Piedmont was a time to remember, or at least to me. People werealways proud to be from Piedmont—lying at the foot of a mountain, on the banks of the mighty Potomac. We knew God gave America no more beautiful location.I never knew colored people anywhere who were crazier about mountains andwater, flowers and trees, fishing and hunting. For as long as anyone could remember, we could outhunt, outshoot, and outswim the white boys in the valley.[C] The social structure of Piedmont was something we knew like the back of ourhands. It was an immigrant town; white Piedmont was Italian and Irish, with a handful of wealthy WASPs (盎格鲁撒克逊裔的白人新教徒) on East Hampshire Street, and "ethnic" neighborhoods of working-class people everywhere else, colored and white.[D] For as long as anyone can remember, Piedmont’s character has been completelybound up with the Westvaco paper mill: its prosperous past and doubtful future.At first glance, the town is a typical dying mill center. Many once beautiful buildings stand empty, evidencing a bygone time of spirit and pride. The big houses on East Hampshire Street are no longer proud, as they were when I was a kid.[E] Like the Italians and the Irish, most of the colored people migrated to Piedmont atthe turn of the 20th century to work at the paper mill, which opened in 1888. All the colored men at the paper mill worked on “the platform”—loading paper into trucks until the craft unions were finally integrated in 1968. Loading is what Daddy did every working day of his life. That’s what almost every colored grown-up I knew did.[F] Colored people lived in three neighborhoods that were clearly separated. Welcometo the Colored Zone, a large stretched banner could have said. And it felt good in there, like walking around your house in bare feet and underwear, or snoring (打鼾) right out loud on the couch in front of the TV—enveloped by the comforts of home, the warmth of those you love.[G] Of course, the colored world was not so much a neighborhood as a condition ofexistence. And though our own world was seemingly self-contained, it impacted on the white world of Piedmont in almost every direction. Certainly, the borders of our world seemed to be impacted on when some white man or woman showed up where he or she did not belong, such as at the black Legion Hail. Our space was violated when one of them showed up at a dance or a party. The rhythms would be off. The music would sound not quite right. Everybody would leave early.[H] I Before 1955, most white people were just shadowy presences in our world,vague figures of power like remote bosses at the mill or clerks at the bank. There were exceptions, of course, the white people who would come into our world in routine, everyday ways we all understood. Mr. Mail Man, Mr. Insurance Man, Mr.White-and-Chocolate Milk Man, Mr. Landlord Man, Mr. Police Man: we called white people by their trade, like characters in a mystery play. Mr. Insurance Man would come by every other week to collect payments on college or death policies, sometimes 50 cents or less.[I] “It’s no disgrace to be colored,”the black entertainer Bert Williams famouslyobserved early in the century, “but it is awfully inconvenient.”For most of my childhood, we couldn’t eat in restaurants or sleep in hotels, we couldn’t use certain bathrooms or try on clothes in stores. Mama insisted that we dress up when we went to shop. She was carefully dressed when she went to clothing stores, and wore white pads called shields under her arms so her dress or blouse would show no sweat. “We’d like to try this on,” she’d say carefully, uttering her words precisely and properly. “We don’t buy clothes we can’t try on,” she’d say when they declined, and we’d walk out in Mama’s dignified (有尊严的) manner.She preferred to shop where we had an account and where everyone knew who she was.[J] At the Cut-Rate Drug Store, no one colored was allowed to sit down at the counter or tables, with one exception: my father. I don’t know for certain why Carl Dadisman, the owner, wouldn’t stop Daddy from sitting down. But I believe it was in part because Daddy was so light-colored, and in part because, during his shift at the phone company, he picked up orders for food and coffee for the operators. Colored people were supposed to stand at the counter, get their food to go, and leave. Even when Young Doc Bess would set up the basketball team with free Cokes after one of many victories, the colored players had to stand around and drink out of paper cups while the white players and cheerleaders sat down in comfortable chairs and drank out of glasses.[K] I couldn’t have been much older than five or six as I sat with my father at the Cut-Rate one afternoon, enjoying ice cream. Mr. Wilson, a stony-faced Irishman, walked by. “Hello, Mr. Wilson,” my father said.“Hello, George.”[L] I was genuinely puzzled. Mr. Wilson must have confused my father with somebody else, but who? There weren’t any Georges among the colored people in Piedmont. “Why don’t you tell him your name, Daddy?” I asked loudly. “Your name isn’t George.”“He knows my name, boy,”my father said after a long pause. “He calls all colored people George.”[M] I knew we wouldn’t talk about it again; even at that age, I was given to understand that there were some subjects it didn’t do to worry to death about.Now that I have children, I realize that what distressed my father wasn’t so much the Mr. Wilsons of the world as the painful obligation to explain the racial facts of life to someone who hadn’t quite learned them yet. Maybe Mr. Wilson couldn’t hurt my father by calling him George; but I hurt him by asking to know why.46.The author felt as a boy that his life in a separated neighborhood was casual andcozy.47.There is every sign of decline at the paper mill now.48.One reason the author’s father could sit and eat at the drug store was that he didn’tlook that dark.49.Piedmont was a town of immigrants from different parts of the world.50.In spite of the awful inconveniences caused by racial prejudice, the author’sfamily managed to live a life of dignity.51.The author later realized he had caused great distress to his father by asking whyhe was wrongly addressed.52.The author took pride in being from Piedmont because of its natural beauty.53.Colored people called white people by the business they did.54.Colored people who lived in Piedmont did heavy manual jobs at the paper mill.55.The colored people felt uneasy at the presence of the whites in theirneighborhoods.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 fourchoices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choiceand mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single linethrough the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on following passage.Children are a delight. They are our future. But sadly, hiring someone to take care of them while you go to work is getting more expensive by the year.Earlier this month, it was reported that the cost of enrolling an infant or small kid at a childcare center rose 3% in 2012, faster than the overall cost of living. There are now large strips of the country where daycare for an infant costs more than a tenth of the average married couple’s income.This is not necessarily a new trend, but it is a somewhat puzzling one. The price of professional childcare has been rising since the 1980s. Yet during that time, pay for professional childcare workers has stood still. Actually caregivers make less today, in real terms, than they did in 1990. Considering that labor costs are responsible for up to 80% of a daycare center’s expenses, one would expect flat wages to have meant flat prices.So who’s to blame for higher childcare costs?Childcare is a carefully regulated industry. States lay down rules about how many children each employee is allowed to watch over, the space care centers need per child, and other minute details. And the stricter the regulations, the higher the costs. If it has to hire a caregiver for every two children, it can’t really achieve any economies of scale on labor to save money when other expenses go up. In Massachusetts, where childcare centers must hire one teacher for every three infants, the price of care averaged more than $16,000 per year. In Mississippi, where centers must hire one teacher for every five infants, the price of care averaged less than $5,000.Unfortunately, I don’t have all the daycare-center regulations handy. But I wouldn’t be surprised if as the rules have become more elaborate, prices have risen. The tradeoff (交换) might be worth it in some cases; after all, the health and safety of children should probably come before cheap service. But certainly, it doesn’t seem to be an accident that some of the cheapest daycare available is in the least regulated South.56. What problem do parents of small kids have to face?A) The ever-rising childcare prices.B) The budgeting of family expenses.C) The balance between work and family.D) The selection of a good daycare center.57. What does the author feel puzzled about?A) Why the prices of childcare vary greatly from state to state.B) Why increased childcare prices have not led to better service.C) Why childcare workers’ pay has not increased with the rising childcare costs.D) Why there is a severe shortage of childcare professionals in a number ofstates.58. What prevents childcare centers from saving money?A) Steady increase in labor costs.B) Strict government regulations.C) Lack of support from the state.D) High administrative expenses.59. Why is the average cost of childcare in Mississippi much lower than inMassachusetts?A) The overall quality of service is not as good.B) Payments for caregivers there are not as high.C) Living expenses there are comparatively low.D. Each teacher is allowed to care for more kids.60. What is the author’s view on daycare service?A) Caregivers should receive regular professional training.B) Less elaborate rules about childcare might lower costs.C) It is crucial to strike a balance between quality and costs.D) It is better for different states to learn from each other.Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Alex Pang’s amusing new book The Distraction Addiction addresses those of us who feel panic without a cellphone or computer. And that, he claims, is pretty much all of us. When we’re not online, where we spend four months annually, we’re engaged in the stressful work of trying to get online.The Distraction Addiction is not framed as a self-help book. It’s a thoughtful examination of the dangers of our computing overdose and a historical overview of how technological advances change consciousness. A “professional futurist”, Pang urges an approach which he calls “contemplative (沉思的) computing.” He asks that you pay full attention to “how your mind and body interact with computers and how your attention and creativity are influenced by technology.”Pang’s first job is to free you from the common misconception that doing two things at once allows you to get more done. What is commonly called multitasking is,in fact, switch-tasking, and its harmful effects on productivity are well documented. Pang doesn’t advocate returning to a pre-Internet world. Instead, he asks you to “take a more ecological (生态的) view of your relationships with technologies and look for ways devices or media may be making specific tasks easier or faster but at the same time making your work and life harder.”The Distraction Addiction is particularly fascinating on how technologies have changed certain fields of labor-often for the worse. For architects, computer-aided design has become essential but in some ways has cheapened the design process. As one architect puts it, “Architecture is first and foremost about thinking.., and drawing is a more productive way of thinking” than computer-aided design.Somewhat less amusing are Pang’s solutions for kicking the Internet habit. He recommends the usual behavior-modification approaches, familiar to anyone who has completed a not smoking program. Keep logs to study your online profile and decide what you can knock out, download a program like Freedom that locks you out of your browser, or take a “digital Sabbath (安息日)”: “Unless you’re a reporter or emergency-department doctor, you’ll discover that your world doesn’t fall apart when you go offline.”61. Alex Pang’s new book is aimed for readers who ______.A) find their work online too stressfulB) go online mainly for entertainmentC) are fearful about using the cellphone or computerD) can hardly tear themselves away from the Internet62. What does Alex Pang try to do in his new book?A) Offer advice on how to use the Internet effectively.B) Warn people of the possible dangers of Internet use.C) Predict the trend of future technological development.D) Examine the influence of technology on the human mind.63. What is the common view on multitasking?A) It enables people to work more effectively.B) It is in a way quite similar to switch-tasking.C) It makes people’s work and life even harder.D) It distracts people’s attention from useful work.64. What does the author think of computer-aided design?A) It considerably cuts down the cost of building design.B) It somewhat restrains architects’ productive thinking.C) It is indispensable in architects’ work process.D) It can free architects from laborious drawing.65. What is Alex Pang’s recommendation for Internet users?A) They use the Internet as little as possible.B) They keep a record of their computer use time.C) They exercise self-control over their time online.D) They entertain themselves online on off-days only.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.越来越多的中国年轻人正对旅游产生兴趣，这是近年来的新趋势。

2019年6月英语四级听力真题：卷一听力原文2019年6月英语四级听力真题：卷一听力原文2019年6月英语四级听力真题：卷一听力原文News Report 1The International Labor Organization says the number of people without jobs is increasing. In its latest update on global employment trends, the agency says projections of the number of unemployed people this year range from 210 million to nearly 240 million people. The report warns that 200 million poor workers are at risk of joining the ranks of people living on less than 2 dollars per day in the past three years. The director general of the International Labor Organization Juan Somavia notes that some countries have taken measures to address the effects of the global crisis.However, he points out that many countries have not done so. And based on past experiences, it takes four to five years after economic recovery for unemployment to return to pre-crisis levels. Mr. Somavia says the International Labor Organization is proposing a global jobs' agreement to deal with unemployment. 'It's key objective is to play so the center of recovery efforts, measures that would generate high levels of employment and provide basic social protection for the most vulnerable.' Q1. What is the news report mainly about?Q2. What does, Juan Somavia, the director general of the International Labor Organization say?News Report 2Big fast food chains in New York City have started to obey a first of its kind rule, requiring them to post calorie counts right on the menu. Cathy Nurses is with the New York City departmentof health, 'We wanted to give people an opportunity to actually see the calories before they purchased the food and make a decision and inform decision. That if they want to make their healthier choice, if they want to eat fewer calories they can. And we expect this will have a huge impact on obesity. And of course, if it has an impact on obesity, it will have an impact on diabetes and heart disease and high blood pressure. 'The new rules will introduce as a part of anti-obesity campaign. That also includes a recent citywide ban and artificial trans-fats in restaurant food. The menu roll only applies to restaurants that serve standardized potion sizes and have fifty more locations nationwide. Starting last Saturday, chains big enough to fall under the rule will face penalties about 2000 dollars for not showing calorie information in a prominent spot on their menus preferably next to the price.Q3. What are big fast food chains in New York City require to do according to the new rule?Q4. What would happen to big restaurant chains that violate the new rule?News Report 3Almost all companies recognize the importance of innovation today. But not many are able to integrate innovation into their business.A commentary in the Shanghai Daily points out that innovation doesn't mean piles of documents. It is something more practical. The article says many people tend to assume that innovation just means creating something new, butactually it's more than that. It's an attitude of doing things. A company should find ways to innovate not just in products but also in functions, business models and processes.The article cites the global giant Procter & Gamble asan example, saying a real innovative company should developan innovation culture and use it as a primary tool for success. Procter & Gamble has a “Corporate Innovation Fund” which offers big rewards for high-risk ideas that succeed. It also has a special innovation facility for its employees. Sometimes its employees are released from their daily jobsfor weeks and spend their time interacting in the innovation facility instead. In conclusion, the article says innovative ideas alone do not ensure success. It's pointless unlessthere is a repeatable process in place to turn inspiration into financial performance.Q5. What is the problem with many companies according to the news report?Q6. What do many people tend to think of innovation?Q7. What does the company Procter & Gamble owe its success to?Conversation OneM： So, Linzy, do you like to text message on your cell phone?。

D. It's no longer available.
录音原文：
11.
M： Mary, would you join me for dinner tonight?
W： You treated me last weekend. Now it's my turn. Shall we try something Italian?
12. W： Good afternoon. I'm calling to inquire about the four-bedroom house you advertised in the newspaper.
M：I'm sorry, but it's already sold.
解析：
11. B 男士要求女士跟他一起吃晚饭，女士说“上周末你请了我，这次轮到我请你了”，说明这次女士要请男士吃饭，故B准确而D错
误。

女士说“我们尝尝意大利食品好吗?”这仅仅一个提议，并不是A
所说的那样anxious。

C将请客的人物颠倒了。

12. D 女士询问广告中的house的情况，男士说“sorry”,就应
该预感到不妙，而关键是要抓住but后面的信息：“它(这套房子)已
经售出”即D项“买不到了”。

要想答对此题，不但要听懂男士的话，而且要读懂选项：A项中的for rent意为“供租用”，for sale 意为“待售”;B有比较含义，对话中没有比较;C“在重新装修”，与原文
信息无关。
