Invariably a few hands would go up.“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.“Well, the main th ing was learning how to face an audience ... not to be inhibited( 拘谨 )... not to be nervousExactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’ t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’ re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions.The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ ll read what youwrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and read out to the person at the other end of the line.Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’ re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary -- or at least it’ s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper(1). The topic of the passage is ________A. how to be a good writerB. how to be a good speakerC. how to express yourself with your wordsD. how to get rid of nervousness in public speaking(2). The public speech course mainly teaches students ______A. how to make an attractive speech using perfect grammar and vocabularyB. how to express themselves exactly and vividlyC. how to collect data needed and organize itD. how to get over their nervousness when making a speech(3). The similarity between making a public speech and writing isthat _______A. you have to do a lot of preparation work beforehandB. you should get over your nervous inhibitionsC. you should know grammar and vocabulary well to accomplish themD. both of them have audience(4). In the opinion of the author, public speaking is much easier than writing because _______A. public speaking requires less effort than writingB. it’ s unnecessary for you to write a lot for speech and you can say anything as you likeC. you face the audience directly in public speaking; while writingis otherwiseD. in public speaking, the audience have to listen to you whether they like it or not(5). The author of this passage probably is a ________A. bossB. politicianC. writerD. professor2."The pen is more powerful than the sword (剑)." There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.She was born in the USA in 1811. One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freezing the slaves. The civil warwas the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.This book was named "Uncle Tom''''s Cabin". There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it isstill very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse (唤起) people''''s sympathies (同情). The writer herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the novel, which they said did not at all represent (代表) true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired (激励) by it that they-were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.(1). According to the passage ( ).A. every English-speaking person had read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"B. "Uncle Tom''s Cabin" was not very interestingC. those who don''t speak English can not have read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"D. the book "Uncle Tom''s Cabin" did a great deal in the American Civil War(2).

What do you learn about Mrs. Stowe from the passage? ( )A. AShe had been living in the north of America before the American Civil War.B. She herself encouraged the northern Americans to go to war and set the slaves free.C. She was better as writing as using a sword.D. She had once been a slave.(4). Why could Mrs. Stowe''s book cause a civil war in America? ( )A. She wrote so well that Americans loved her very much.B. She disclosed (揭露) the terrible wrongs that had been done to the slaves in the Southern States.C. The Southern Americans hated the book while the Northern Americans like it.D. The book had been read by many Americans.(5). What can we learn from the passage? ( )A. We needn''t use weapons (武器) to fight things that are wrong.B. writer is more helpful in a war than a soldier.C. We must understand the importance of literature and art.D. No war can be won without such a book as "Uncle Tom''s Cabin".3. The ordinary raindrop is a mighty earth mover with sufficient strength to cut rock. When rainwater collects on the surface of the ground, some of it evaporates and some of it sinks into the earth.The remainder begins to flow downhill, commencing its lengthy journey form brook to stream to lake, or to a river that will carry it to the sea.As water flows along the ground, it picks up sand, pebbles, even boulders. It uses them to gnaw at the sides and bottom of its channel, gradually loosening more earth.By this process enormous amounts of mud and rock are moved from the land to the sea. Each year the Mississippi River carries 730 million tons of solid matter into the Gulf of Mexico.This constant hauling of land into the sea is lowering the United States’ average height above sea level at a rate of about one foot every 9000 years. If erosion continues at the same rate, the United States will be worn completely down to sea level in about 23 million years.(1). Flowing water gradually makes its channel ______.A. narrowerB. deeperC. widerD. both B and C(2). The average height of the United States above sea level ___.A. is being raised each yearB. remains constantC. will reach sea level in 9000 yearsD. is being lowered little by little(3). Erosion by water results in _______.A. wearing down the soilB. building up landC. enriching the soilD. both B and C(4). Implied but not stated: ________A. Millions of years ago the United States was higher than it is nowB. Great amounts of land are moved to the sea by riversC. The water that sinks into the earth also reaches the oceanD. The Gulf of Mexico will be filled up in about 23 million years(5). The best title for this selection is ________.A. How Water Destroys MountainsB. How Rivers Help UsC. The Average Height of the United StatesD. The Mighty Raindrop4. It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it. Then life is no longer difficult. Most people do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent ( 代表 ) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is the process of facing and solving problems and it is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or, loneliness or regret or anger of fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.(1). From the passage, it can be inferred that ( ).A. everybody has problemsB. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lifeC. life is difficult because our problems bring us painD. people like to complain about their problems(2). The writer probably used one short sentence in the first paragraph to ( ).A. save spaceB. persuade readersC. make readers laughD. get readers'' attention(3). The main idea of paragraph three is that ( ).A. most people feel life is easyB. the writer feels life is easyC. the writer likes to complain about his problemsD. Problem solving is part of life(4). According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ( ).A. encourage them to learnB. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problemC. help them learn to deal with painD. teach them how to respect from problems(5). The saying from Benjamin Franklin "Those things that hurt, instruct" suggest that ( ).A. we do not learn from experienceB. we do not learn when we are painC. pain teaches us important lessonsD. pain cannot be avoid答案：一、单项选择题（60分，共 60 题，每小题 1 分）1.

He had a servant. He and the servant loved wine and good food very much. Each time the rich man left his home, the servant would drink the wine and eat up all the nice food in the house. The rich man knew what his servant did, but he had never caught his servant doing that.One morning, when he left home, he said to the servant, “Here are two bottles of poison and some nice food in the house. You must take of them.” With these words, he went out.But the servant knew that the rich man had said was untrue. After the rich man was away from his home, he enjoyed a nice meal.

长江大学继续教育学院《大学英语》课程考试试卷及答案
长江大学继续教育学院 《大学英语》课程考试试卷 考试时间：120 分钟 Part I Reading comprehension (每题2分，共20分) Directions: There are 2 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]. You should decide on the best choice and write the answers on the answer sheet.. Passage I Boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music. Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (阳刚), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform to a stereotype, a US study says. Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to conform to the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man". The findings of the study so against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls. Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being faded by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls. The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills. But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys' learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete inteams to prevent boredom, wrote the study's author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia. Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with "boy-focused"approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around. "Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modem genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes, "James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to conform to a stereotype that men should be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "In mixed schools boys feel compelled to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means, " the study reported.1. The author believes that a single-sex school would ____ .A. force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men"B. help to cultivate masculine aggressiveness in boysC. encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyD. naturally reinforce in boys the traditional image of a man2. It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys _____ .A. Perform relatively better C. behave more responsiblyB. grow up more healthily D. receive a better education3. What does Tony Little say about the British education system?A. It fails more boys than girls academically.B. It focuses more on mixed school education.C. It fails to give boys the attention they need.D. It places more pressure on boys than on girls.4. According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ______.A. teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boysB. boys can focus on their lessons without being distractedC. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inD. teaching can be designed to promote boys' team spirit5. Which of the following is characteristic of boys according to Abigail James' report?A. They enjoy being in charge. C. They have sharper vision.B. They conform to stereotypes. D. They are violent and sexist.Passage IIAdvertising is a way of bringing information to the public for the purpose（目的）of selling a product, a service, an idea, or an event. The information is transmitted by means of the printed word or over the air. It may be presented as a simple statement of fact, or, as is more often the case, it may be given in colorful or even emotional（抒情的）thing, such as to buy a product, order a service, join an organization, attend a meeting, or think sympathetically（同情地）about a situation. Each advertisement is paid for by a person, a group, an organization, or a business enterprise（企业）wanting to advance（推动）his or its goals.In a modern society, everyone uses advertising in one way or another. A person may get a job by answering a classified ad (分类广告). He may decide to join an organization whose advertisements express ideas that interest him. In choosing food products and other items of daily living, he is usually led or influences(影响) by advertising. Advertisements may also influence his choice of a vacation spot(度假地点)，restaurant, or recreational activity(娱乐活动)。

大学英语四级历年真题范文及实践_Word版
大学英语四级历年真题与范文(1991-2007)1999.1 真题Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic. Don't Be Afraid to Say“No”. Y ou should write at least 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:1.别人请求帮助时,在什么情况下我们会说“不”2.为什么有些人在该说“不”的时候不说“不”3.该说“不”时,不说“不”的坏处[范文]Don't Be Afraid to Say “No”Sometimes we have to say “No” to others when they ask us for help. Why? One situation may be that we are not capable of doing the things they ask us to do. The other situation may be that we are unwilling to do what they ask us to do, because their requests may be unreasonable or even illegal. On both occasions we should say directly to them: “No”.But the case is not always the same in our daily life. Some people are afraid to say “No” when they should say so. On the one hand, they are afraid of losing their faces. On the other hand they don't want to hurt others, such as their family members, relatives, friends or colleagues.T o say “Y es” when you should say “No” will ev entually do you some harm. If you say “Y es” but fail to help them in the end because of lack of the ability, they may think you are not worthy of trust. If you help them do something bad or illegal, you will be punished for what you have done. So, don't be afraid to say “N o” if necessary.1999.6 真题Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Reading selectively or extensively? Y ou should write at least 100 words, and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:1.有人认为读书要有选择2.有人认为应当博览群书3.我的看法\[范文\]Reading Selectively Or Extensively?Reading selectively or extensively? What is your choice? Perhaps each of us has our choice. Some people think we should read selectively, for there are so many books for us to read. Thousands of new books are published every day. How can we cover all these books in our limited time? Besides, not all the books are worth reading.Some people, on the contrary, choose to read extensively. They think that reading extensively can broaden their horizons. Through reading extensively they can learn something about their ancestors; through reading extensively they can get insight of great men. Reading extensively can also enable us to adapt to the fast developing society. Because we are living in a knowledge exploding society, if we don't read extensively, we can't get enough information about the modern world, and we can't keep pace with the society.In my opinion, we should read both selectively and extensively. By reading extensively, we can enrich our knowledge of aspects. By reading selectively, we can focus on and learn well the academic knowledge we'll need in our future work.2000.1 真题Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic How I Finance My College Education?

It has been a problem for the students and their families how to finance their college education. In fact, the problem can be dealt with in many ways. The most common way is to get all the money from the parents. If their parents can't produce the tuition and the fees, students can apply a loan from the bank. There is still another way. Students can finance their education by doing some part time jobs in their spare time.As for me, my parents can pay the greater part of the tuition and fees for me. So, I won't have a heavy financial burden, and I can put all my heart into study. I would like to pay the rest by doing a part time job. Although my parents are able to pay all the tuition and fees for me, I just want to know more about the society by my own working experience. Therefore, I choose this way to finance my college education.2001.1 真题Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic How to Succeed in a Job Interview?

It has been three years since we graduated from our university. I miss you very much. I even can't wait to see you. I've made a plan for this holiday. As this is the first time you come to Beijing, I think we'd better have sightseeing around it. W e can visit some famous scenic spots and historical sites, such as Summer Palace, The Forbidden City, The Great W all, etc. W e can do some shopping together. There are many splendid markets and plazas in Beijing. The State Library is also a good place for us to go. By the way, since lots of people will go traveling in this holiday, it must be crowded on the train. So you should take care of your luggage.

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.Passage OneQuestions31 to35 are based on the following passage:A 1987 survey was given to 5,000 high school seniors. It showed that they did not know geography. Students in Boston were questioned. One-third of them could not name six New England states. Students in Baltimore were questioned. Half could not shade in the United States on a map. Here is what another survey showed. Students did not know history. Most did not know the dates of the American Civil War. Many did not know World War II leaders.Someone else asked this question. What did students think of social studies? Their answer: Social studies was not important. They said it was the least important of their studies.What is social studies? It is the study of individuals. It is the study of groups. It is the study of societies. Social studies covers many fields. You have read about history and geography. These are part of social studies. It covers many other areas as well. Let's say you study the way people live together in groups. This is an area of social studies. So is learning about very early people. So is studying government.Is social studies important? Early Americans thought so. Students then learned history and civics.This was to make them good citizens. A report from 1916 set a new goal. It said, "The social studies should cultivate a sense of membership in the world community." The world community is very large. But today it is easy to share ideas in it. We have radio and TV. We have phones. We have computers.Social studies helps us understand the world's people. It helps us know groups and societies. The 1916 goal was important then. It is even more important now. We all need to be good world citizens.31. Social studies ________.A) uses radios, TVs, and computersB) is the study of people, groups, and societiesC) can be understood by questioning studentsD) was first taught in 191632. Which fact supports the statement that students did not know geography?A) A survey questioned 5,000 students.B) Most students did not know when the Civil War was.C) Many students did not know World War II leaders.D) Half of the students from Baltimore couldn't locate the United States on a map.33. This passage makes it clear that ________.A) we are not members of a world communityB) social studies helps make good world citizensC) researchers should question more studentsD) social studies is not important34. The quotation marks around the sentence "The social studies should cultivate a sense of membership in the world community." show that it ________.A) is importantB) is the writer's opinionC) is the exact words from the 1916 reportD) was spoken by a high school students35. The word survey in this passage means a ________.A) general lookB) plan showing boundariesC) formal study or pollD) discussionPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:When you put money in a bank account, your money earns interest. This interest is a payment from the bank for the use of your money. The bank may pay you any interest rate it desires; these days the usual rate is around 5 percent. The basic formula for figuring out how much interest you will earn on an investment is fairly simple. To figure out the interest, multiply three things: the principal (or the amount you invest), the interest rate put into decimal form (5 percent would be written .05), and the time in years. The formula can be written as i = prt.The formula i = prt is for simple interest. It does not help you find interest that is compounded. Compounding occurs when you have your money alone. Then every so often the interest is computed again using a new principal. The formula for compound interest lets you find the value of an investment after some number of years. However, it is a fairly complex formula. If you want to work with it, you'll need a scientific calculator with an exponent（幂数）key.Most people find the compound interest formula perplexing. They ask a bank or other investment service to do the math for them. But there is a simple way to figure out when your money will double in value. This is called the "Rule of 72." If you divide the annual interest rateinto 72, the answer is the number of years it will take to double your savings. So money invested at 5 percent will take more than 14 years to double (72 divided by 5).Now here is a question to ponder. What happens if p equals zero? If you put that value for p into the formula, the answer will be zero. In other words, if you invest no principal, you'll get no interest. And although this is the simplest math of all, it is not a good long-term investment strategy!36. This passage is mostly about ________.A) understanding mathematical formulas useful in investingB) calculating interest from investment based on complicated formulasC) ways to figure out how much money you are earning in a bank accountD) scientific tools needed to work out interest rate37. The "Rule of 72" helps you find ________.A) the changing interest rates within 72 yearsB) the total interest you can get in 72 yearsC) the amount of money you should invest in 72 yearsD) the number of years it takes an investment to double in value38. At 7 percent annual interest, an investment will double in about ________.A) 10 monthsB) 10 yearsC) 72 monthsD) 72 years39. Letters are underlined in three words in the first paragraph in order to show that ________.A) the letters are part of the interest formulaB) the letters should be capitalizedC) the words they are in are spelled incorrectlyD) each letter stands for a number40. The word perplexing in this passage means ________.A) unnecessaryB) longC) confusingD) involving percentsPassage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:A normal conversation between strangers involves more than talk. It also involves the dynamics of space interaction. If one person gets too close, the other person will back up. If the first person invades the other's space again, the other will back up again. The person who finds himself or herself backing up is trying to increase the distance of the comfort zone. The person closing in is trying to decrease that distance. Most likely neither person is fully aware of what is going on.In the 1960s American anthropologist（人类学者）Edward T. Hall was a pioneer in the study of human behavioral use of space. His field of study became known as proxemics. Hall said that personal space for Americans can be defined as having four distinct zones: the intimate zone within 18 inches of your body for whispering and embracing; personal zone of 18 inches to four feet, for talking with close friends; social zone of four to 10 feet, for talking with acquaintances; and the social zone of 10 to 25 feet, for talking to strangers or to a group.Historians say that our standards of personal space began with the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century. In cities such as London and New York, people of different social and economic classes were suddenly crammed together, so they unconsciously developed a commonly understood rule of polite behavior and space to restrict the area around them.People exhibit nonverbal messages of discomfort when their zones are violated. Invaded people might pull at their hair, become rigid, or even become angry. As Hall noted in his work, a comfortable conversation needs to include the range of human personal space.41. This passage is mostly about________.A) nonverbal communicationB) conversation rulesC) Edward T. HallD) distance between speakers42. Edward T. Hall identified ________ personal space.A) oneB) twoC) threeD) four43. If a close friend of yours were taking with you at eight feet away from you, you would probably soon______.A) move closer to himB) move farther away from himC) let him stop talkingD) go on talking at this distance44. The third paragraph provides _______.A) a historical view on personal spaceB) an economic reason for restricting personal spaceC) an overview of Edward T. Hall's field of studyD) a definition of personal space45. The word dynamics means_____.A) difficultiesB) readjustmentsC) distancesD) movementsPassage FourQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:At dawn on January 17, 1995, the city of Kobe was rocked by earthquake tremors. The worst tremors reach 7.2 on the Richter scale. Kobe is Japan's sixth largest city. It is also one of the world's largest ports. Within minutes, Kobe was a disaster area.How bad was the damage? The earthquake was the worst to hit Japan in 72 years. There were more than 6,000 people dead. More than 35,000 were injured, and nearly 310,000 were left homeless. Some 75,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed. Total damage was estimated at $90 billion.Were the Japanese prepared for earthquakes? They thought they were. They were expecting a big earthquake to strike one of their major cities. But they did not know when, where, or how big the earthquake would be. Architects and engineers believed they had designed earthquake-proof buildings, transportation, and public services. Kobe's few minutes of earth tremors shattered that belief.What did people learn from the Kobe earthquake? What happened in Kobe suggests that earthquake hazard was not taken seriously enough. Some people believe that more can be done to reduce damage. They propose the following. More work should be put into quake-proofing buildings. Walls should be built to protect towns on the coast from large waves. Providers of emergency services must be better trained and better prepared. Citizens must be better educated onwhat to do when an earthquake strikes.The major barrier to doing more is cost. Japan finds itself trying balance the cost against the risk of a strong earthquake.46. Which sentence best tells what this passage says?A) Cities can be made earthquake proof.B) More can be done to reduce the damage of earthquake.C) Earthquakes always cause serious damage.D) Nothing can be done to reduce the damage of earthquake.47. How many people died in the Kobe earthquake?A) More than 6,000.B) At least 100,000C) Nearly 310000.D) 75,00048. What is the major difficulty in doing more to reduce the earthquake damage?A) People are not given enough training.B) Engineers do not have the knowledge.C) Protection is too costly.D) No one takes earthquakes seriously.49. The author's attitude in writing this passage is ________.(Only paragraph 1 is chronological!)A) analyticB) blamingC) provocativeD) indifferent50. "Tremors" probably means ________.A) earthquake-proving buildingsB) shaking movementsC) heavy thunderstormsD) natural disastersPart III ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the ONE answer that best fits into the passage.Many consumer products that you buy frequently come in more than one size. We all 51 that you save money if you buy the largest size you can use, and most of the time this assumption 52 to be true. Sometimes, however, the savings may not be significant. So 53 you automatically 54 the largest size of some product, you might want to do 55 math.Assume a product 56 two sizes: the smaller size has 24 ounces and costs $1.19; the larger size is 36 ounces 57 $1.69. To find the savings, if any, on the larger size, you can compute the unit prize. (Units are ounces, pounds, or whatever measure the product is sold in.) 58 , the unit price is the cost per ounce for each size, so use a calculator to divide the price 59 the number of ounces. You can see that the 36 ounce-size has a lower unit price, so it is the better buy.24 ounces for $1.19 $1.19 ÷ 24 ounces = 0.0495 = 4.95 ￠per ounce36 ounces for $1.69 $1.69 ÷ 36 ounces = 0.0469 = 4.69 ￠per ounceBut how much do you actually save 60 buying the larger size? To find out, subtract the two unit prices to 61 them: $0.0495 －$0.0469 = $0.0026. In this example, the difference in the unit prices is about $0.003 - only 62 of a penny! So if you don't really need the larger size of this 63 product, you probably 64 purchase it. 65 the price, another 66 to consider when choosing the size to buy is the expiration date on the product. If you're not likely to 67 the size to buy 68 the expiration date, then you should buy a smaller size.The next time you go to the supermarket, take a pocket calculator 69 you and try finding theunit prices 70 different sizes of some products. You may very well discover that a small size offers you the best value!。
