For each multiple choice question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.PASSAGE ONE(1)When I was twenty-seven years old, I was a mining-broker's clerk in SanFrancisco, and an expert in all the details of stock traffic. I was alone in the world, and had nothing to depend upon but my wits and a clean reputation; but these were setting my feet in the road to eventual fortune, and I was content with the prospect. My time was my own after the afternoon board, Saturdays, and I was accustomed to putting it in on a little sail-boat on the bay. One day I ventured too far, and was carried out to sea. Just at nightfall, when hope was about gone, I was picked up by a small ship which was bound for London. It was a long and stormy voyage, and they made me work my passage without pay, as a common sailor.When I stepped ashore in London my clothes were ragged and shabby, and I had only a dollar in my pocket. This money fedand sheltered me twenty-four hours.During the next twenty-four I went without food and shelter.(2)About ten o'clock on the following morning, dirty and hungry, I was dragging myself along Portland Place, when a child that was passing, towed by a nurse-maid, tossed a big pear -minus one bite - into the gutter. I stopped, of course, and fastened my desiring eye on that muddy treasure. My mouth watered for it, my stomach craved it, my whole being, begged for it. But every time I made a move to get it some passing eye detected my purpose, and of course I straightened up then, and looked indifferent and pretended that I hadn't been thinking about the pear at all. This same thing kept happening and happening, and I couldn't get the pear. (3)I was just getting desperate enough to brave all the shame, and to seize it, when a window behind me was raised, and a gentleman spoke out of it, saying: "Step in here, please."(4)I was admitted by a man servant, and shown into a sumptuous room where a couple of elderly gentlemen were sitting. They sent away the servant, and made me sit down. They had just finished their breakfast, and the sight of the remains of it almost overpowered me. I could hardly keep my wits together in the presence of that food, but as I was not asked to sample it,I had to bear my trouble as best as I could.(5)Now, something had been happening there a little before, which I did not know anything about until a good many days afterwards, but I will tell you about it now. Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything.(6)You will remember that the Bank of England once issuedtwo notes of amillion pounds each, to be used for a special purpose connected with some public transaction with a foreign country. For some reason or other only one of these had been used and canceled; the other still lay in the vaults of the Bank. Well, the brothers, chatting along, happened to get to wondering what might be the fate of a perfectly honest and intelligent stranger who should be turned adrift in London without a friend, and with no money but that million-pound bank-note, and no way to account for his being in possession of it. Brother A said he would starve to death; Brother B said he wouldn't. Brother A said he couldn't offer it at a bank or anywhere else, because he would be arrested on the spot. So they went on disputing till Brother B said he would bet twenty thousand pounds that the man would live thirty days, anyway, on that million, and keep out of jail, too. Brother A took him up. Brother B went down to the Bank and bought that note. Then he dictated a letter, which one of his clerks wrote out in a beautiful round hand, and then the two brothers sat at the window a whole day watching for the right man to give it to.(7)I finally became the pick of them.41. In Para. 1, the phrase "set my feet" probably means___________.A. put me asideB. start my journeyC. prepare meD. let me walk42. It can be concluded from Para. 2 that___________.A. the man wanted to maintain dignity though starvedB. the man could not get a proper chance to eat the pearC. the man did not really want the pear since it was dirtyD. it was very difficult for the man to get the pear43. Compared with Brother A, Brother B was more ___________ towards the effect of the one-million-pound bank-note on a total stranger.A. neutralB. negativeC. reservedD. positivePASSAGE TWO(1)The concept of peace is a very important one in cultures all over the world.Think about how we greet people. In some languages, the phrases for greetings contain the word for peace. In some cultures we greet people by shaking hands or with another gesture to show that we are not carrying weapons—that we come in peace. And there are certain symbols which people in very different cultures recognize as representing peace. Let's look at a few of them.The dove(2)The dove has been a symbol of peace and innocence for thousands of years inmany different cultures. In ancient Greek mythology it was a symbol of love and the renewal of life. In ancient Japan a dove carrying a sword symbolized the end of war.(3)There was a tradition in Europe that if a dove flew arounda house wheresomeone was dying then their soul would be at peace. And there are legends which say that the devil can turn himself into any bird except for a dove. In Christian art, the dove was used tosymbolize the Holy Ghost and was often painted above Christ's head.(4)But it was Pablo Picasso who made the dove a modern symbol of peace when he used it on a poster for the World Peace Congress in 1949.The rainbow(5)The rainbow is another ancient and universal symbol, often representing the connection between human beings and their gods. In Greek mythology it was associated with Iris, the goddess who brought messages from the gods on Mount Olympus. In Scandinavian mythology the rainbow was a bridge between the gods and the earth. In the Bible a rainbow showed Noah that the Biblical flood was finally over, and that God had forgiven his people. In the Chinese tradition, the rainbow is a common symbol for marriage because the colours represent the union of yin and yang. Nowadays the rainbow is used by many popular movements for peace and the environment, representing the possibility of a better world in the future and promising sunshine after the rain.Mistletoe(6)This plant was sacred in many cultures, generally representing peace and love. Most people know of the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe at Christmas time, which probably comes from Scandinavian mythology. The goddess Freya's son was killed by an arrow made of mistletoe, so, in honour of him, she declared that it would always be a symbol of peace. It was often hung in doorways as a sign offriendship.(7)The ancient Druids believed that hanging mistletoe in your doorway protected you from evil spirits. Tribes would stopfighting for a period of time if they found a tree with mistletoe. But you will never see mistletoe in a Christian church - it is banned because of its associations with pagan religion and superstition.The olive branch(8)The olive tree has always been a valuable source of food and oil. In Greek mythology, the goddess Athena gave the olive tree to the people of Athens, who showed their gratitude by naming the city after her. But no one knows for sure when or why it began to symbolize peace. There is probably a connection with ancient Greece. Wars between states were suspended during the Olympic Games, and the winners were given crowns of olive branches. The symbolism may come from the fact that the olive tree takes a long time to produce fruit, so olives could only be cultivated successfully in long periods of peace. Whatever the history, the olive branch is a part of many modern flags symbolizing peace and unity. One well-known example is the United Nations symbol.The ankh(9)The ankh is an ancient symbol which was adopted by the hippie movement in the 1960s to represent peace and love. It was found in many Asian cultures, but is generally associated with ancient Egypt. It represented life and immortality. Egyptians were buried with an ankh, so that they could continue to live in the "afterworld". The symbol was also found along the sides of the Nile, which gave life to the people. They believed that the ankh could control the flow of the riverand make sure that there was always enough water.44. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Concept of Peace.B. Origin of Peace Symbols.C. Popular Peace Symbols.D. Cultural Difference of Peace.45. The rainbow represents the connection between human beings and their gods in all the following countries EXCEPT___________.A. SwedenB. GreeceC. FinlandD. China46. In North Europe mistletoe was often hung in doorways to indicate___________.A. friendshipB. loveC. kinshipD. honour47. The origin of the ankh can date back to___________.A. the NileB. the "afterworld"C. the hippie movementD. ancient EgyptPASSAGE THREE(1)Two sides almost never change: That you can manipulate people intoself-sufficiency and that you can punish them into good citizenship.(2)The first manifests itself in our tireless search for the magical level at whichwelfare grants are big enough to meet basic needs but small enough to make low-paid work attractive. The second has uslooking to the criminal justice system to cure behavior that is as much as anything the result of despair.(3)The welfare example is well known. We don't want poor people to live in squaloror their children to be malnourished. But we also don't want to subsidize the indolence of people who are too lazy to work. The first impulse leads us to provide housing, food stamps, medical care and a cash stipend for families in need. The second gets us to think about "workforce".(4)We've been thinking about it for two reasons: the "nanny" problems of twohigh-ranking government officials (who hired undocumented foreigners as household helpers, presumably because they couldn't find Americans to do the work) and President Clinton's proposal to put a two-year limit on welfare.(5)Maybe something useful will come of Clinton's idea, but I'm not all that hopeful.It looks to me like one more example of trying to manipulate people into taking care of themselves.(6)On the criminal justice side, we hope to make punishment tough enough todiscourage crime but not so tough as to clog our prisons with relatively minor offenders. T oo short a sentence, we fear, will create contempt for the law. Too longa sentence will take up costly space better used for the violent and unremorseful.。

The answer may depend in part on whom you are around.A study found that negative thinking can be contagious in some cases. For example, the researchers studied 103 college roommates. They measured each roommate’s tendency towards negative thinking. It was found that thinking patterns can be contagious. Students with a negative thinking roommate became more depressed themselves and students with more positive thinking roommates were more likely to become more positive as well.2016年英语专业四级考试（听力）答案 1.D.procedure 2.A.job 3.C.presentation pany 5.B.11 thursday 6.C.Handle 7.A.increased 6 to 8.B.first 9.D.withdraw10.A.charitable2016年英语专业四级考试（语言知识）答案 PART III LANGUGAGE KNOWLEDGE11-30 :A D A D B D B A B C A D A B A C D B D C2016年英语专业四级考试（完形填空）答案31-40: H L I E D K O C M G2016年英语专业四级考试（阅读理解）答案 PART V READING COMPREHENSION 41-50: BADBD ADCBD 51.Keep wits together in the presence of that food. 52.The author was given the million-pound bank-note. 53.It symbolizes peace and unity. 54.Meeting basic needs and making low-paid work. 55.Good things will happen by taking care of the present.2016年英语专业四级考试（作文）答案 When it comes to whether parents should take their children to spend holidays during term-time, views on the issue vary from person toperson. Parents claim that by doing so, they can save a lot of money born of busy school holidays. Educational officials strongly oppose this tendency on the ground that it encourages truancy, which in turn damages a child’s education. From my perspective, the merits of banning term-time holidays outweigh its demerits. To begin with, taking tough measures on this kind of truancy is conducive to the normal teaching process, one of the key elements to guarantee kid’s academic performance. As we know, currently, teachers have the discretion to approve a certain time of absence from school for each child, which is supposed to be for illness and is not supposed to be granted for holidays. By definitely abolishing the right of head teachers to “authorize absence” from the classroom, those teachers can rarely be pestered by parents who want to take children to go on a holiday just to save money, which severely disrupts teaching process. What ‘s more, without strict penalties imposed on the parents who lead to their kid’s playing truant, those parents can gradually view asking for holiday leave as a right. Once this cultural expectation is formed, the level of truancy will dramatically increase. Accordingly, the growing trend of term-time holidays should be banned with no delay. In this way, teachers can impart knowledge without disturbance and parents will be deterred from saving money at the expense of sacrificing their kid’s education.。

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.England's highest main-line railway station hangs on to life by a thread: deserted and unmanned (无人的)since it was officially closed in 1970. Dent, 36 high in the hills of Yorkshire, wakes up On six summer weekends each year, when a special charter train unloads walkers, sightseers and people who37want to catch a train from the highest station, on to its platform. But even this limited existence may soon be brought to an end.Dent station is situated on the Settle to Carlisle railway line, said to be the most38in the country. But no amount of scenic beauty can save the line from British Rail's cash problems. This year, for the 39 of economy, the express trains which used to pass through Dent station have been put on to another route.It is now an open secret that British Rail sees no future for this railway line. Most of its trains disappeared some time ago. Its bridge, built on a grand 40 a century ago, is falling down. It is not alone. Half-a-dozen railway routes in the north of Englandare facing a similar threat. The problem is a worn-out system and an almost 41 lack of cash to repair it. Bridges and tunnels are showing their age, the wooden supports for the tracks are rotting and engines and coaches are getting old. On42lines between large cities, the problem is not too bad. These lines still make a profit and cash can be found to43 them. But on the country branch line, the story is different. As track wears out, it is not replaced. Instead speed limits are introduced, making journeys longer than necessary and discouraging customers.If a bridge is dangerous, there is often only one thing for British Rail to do: go out and find money from another44. This is exactly what it did a few months ago when a bridge at Bridlington station was threatening to fail down. Repairs were45 at 200,000--just for one bridge--and British Rail was delighted, and rather surprised, when two local councils offered half that amount between them.A. maintainB. scenicC. transcendD. sourceE. estimatedF. sakeG. complexH.simplyI. consolidationJ. situatedK. respectivelyL. totalM. majorN. restrainedO. scale英格兰铁路主干线上海拔最高的火车站命悬一线：自从1970年正式关闭后，它已经被废弃，也没人管理了。

Once you are in habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often 12 to be. A certain amount of stress is 13 to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor 14 and ill health.The amount of stress a person can 15 depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are 16 prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of 17 difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so 18 , but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued 19 to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links withstress. Since we cannot 20 stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could) , we need to find ways to deal with it.A.cancelB. paceC. extremeD. automaticallyE.removeF. vitalG. performanceH. supposedI.rate J. exposure K. achievement L. unusualMobviously N withstand O harsh参考答案11.

If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who 11 life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You 12 to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us, among other 13 , that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up—we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colors do 14 our moods—there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is 15 .A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the 16 of more suicides than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell 17 ; perhaps it would have fallen even more ifthe bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and 18 colors make people not only happier but more active.

are between three thousand and four thousand years old-older than the earliest coins of the eastern Mediterranean.Nowadays,coins and notes have38nearly all the more picturesque39of money,andAlthough

mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods.Black cats are generally considered lucky in Britain,even though they are(39)with witchcraft……itis(40)lucky if a black cat crosses your path-although in

O)equivalentA person's home is as much a reflection of his personality as the clothes he wears,the food heeats and the friends with whom he spends his time.Depending on personality,most have in mind a(n)"31home".But in general,and especially for the student or new wage earners,there arepractical limitations of cash and location on achieving that idea.Cash shortage,in fact,often means that the only way of getting along when you leave school is to stay at home for a while until things32financially.There are obvious advantages ofliving at home–personal laundry is usually33done along with the family wash;meals areprovided and there will be a well-established circle of friends to call upon.And there is34theresponsibility for paying bills,rates,etc.On the other hand,much depends on how a family gets on.Do your parents like your friends?You may love your family–but do you like them?Are you prepared to be35when your parents ask where you are going in the evening and what time you expect

alternation with some 16-17hours'wakefulness and that the sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness.Ourpresent concern is with how easily and to what extent this31can be modified.The question is no mere academic one.The ease with which people can change from working in the day to working at night is a32of growing importance in industry where automation callsfor round-the-clock working of machines.It normally33from five days to one week for aperson to adapt to a reserved routine of sleep and wakefulness,sleeping during the day andworking at night.34,it is often the case in industry that shifts are changed every week.Thismeans that no sooner has he got used to one routine35he has to change to another,so thatmuch of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very36.One answer would seem to be37periods on each shift,a month,or even three months.However,,recent research has shown that people on such systems will revert to go back to their38habits of sleep and wakefulness during the week-end and that this is quite enough todestroy any39to night work built up during the week.The only real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to those permanent night workers whose40may persist through all week-ends and holidays.第十二篇A)flavor B)massively C)largely D)identical E)same F)distinguishable G)buys H)diverting I)distinctive J)stripped K)commodity L)peeled M)switching N)as O)ensureDuring McDonald's early years French fries were made from scratch every day.Russet Burbank potatoes were31,cut into shoestrings,and fried in its kitchens.32the chain expanded nationwide,in the mid-1960s,it sought to cut labour costs,reduce the number of suppliers,and33that its fries tasted the same at every restaurant.McDonald's began34to frozen French fries in1966–and few customers noticed the difference.Nevertheless,the change had a profound effect on the nation's agriculture and diet.A familiar food had been transformed into a highly processed industrial35.McDonald's fries now come from huge manufacturing plants that can process two million pounds of potatoes a day.The expansion of McDonald's and the popularity of its low-cost,mass-produced fries changed the way Americans eat.The taste of McDonald's French fries played a crucial role in the chain's success–fries are much more profitable than hamburgers–and was long praised by customers,competitors,and even food critics.Their36taste does not stem from the kind of potatoes that McDonald's37, the technology that processes them,or the restaurant equipment that fries them:other chains use Russet Burbank,buy their French fries from the38large processing companies,and have similar fryers in their restaurant kitchens.The taste of a French fry is39determined by the cooking oil.For decades McDonald's cooked its French fries in a mixture of about7per cent cottonseed oil and93per cent beef fat.The mixture gave the fries their unique40.第十三篇A)however B)therefore C)what D)sufficiently E)surprisingly F)singular G)moreover H)uncountable I)single J)relevant K)having L)referred to M)numerous N)similar O)evenPeople thinking about the origin of language for the first time usually arrive at the conclusion that it developed gradually as a system of grunts,hisses and cries and must have been a very simple affair in the beginning.31,when we observe the language behaviour of32we regard as primitive cultures,we find it33complicated.It was believed that an Eskimo must have the tip of his tongue a vocabulary of more than10,000words so as to get along reasonably well,much larger than the active vocabulary of an average businessman who speaks English. 34,these Eskimo words are far more highly infleeted(词尾变化的)than those of any of the well-known European languages,for a35noun can be spoken or written in several hundred different forms,each36a precise meaning different from that of any other.The forms of the verbs are even more37.The Eskimo language is,therefore,one of the most difficult in the world to learn,with the result that almost no traders or explorers have38 tried to learn it.Consequently,there has grown up,in communication between Eskimos and whites,a jargon39to the pidgin English used in Old China,with a vocabulary of from300 to600uninflected words.Most of them are derived from Eskimo but some are derived from English,Danish,Spanish,Hawaiian and other languages.It is this jargon that is usually40 by travellers as"the Eskimo language".第十四篇A)use B)applies C)should D)qualities E)acquaintance F)distinctions

in the handling of his target language,which will be his mother tongue or language of habitual31and a knowledge and understanding of the latest subject-matter in his field of specialization.This is,as it were,his professional equipment.In addition to this,it is desirable that he should have an inquiring mind,wide interests,a good memory and the ability to grasp quickly the basic principles of new developments.He should be willing to work of is own,often at high speeds,but should be humble enough to consult others32his own knowledge not always prove adequate to the task in hand.He should be able to type fairly quickly and accurately and,if he is working mainly for publication,should have more than a nodding33with printing techniques and proof-reading.If he is working basically as an information translator,let us say,for an industrial firm,he should have the flexibility of mind to enable him to34rapidly from one source language to another,as well as from one subject-matter to another,since this ability is frequently35of him in such work.Bearing in mind the nature of the translator's work,i.e.the processing of the written word,it is,strictly speaking,36that he should be able to speak the language he is dealing with.If he does speak them,it is an advantage37a hindrance,but this skill is in many ways a luxury that he can do away with.It is,38,desirable that he should have an approximate idea about the pronunciation of his source languages even if this is restricted to knowing how proper names and place names are pronounced.The same39to an ability to write his

temperature and pressure commonly found at the surface of the Earth.A liquid can be kept in an open container and31it to the level of a free surface.A gas forms no free surface but32to diffuse throughout the space available;it must33be kept in a closed container,as34a planet's atmosphere.The distinction was a prominent feature of early theories describing the phases of matter.In the nineteenth century,for example,one theory maintained that a liquid could be "dissolved"in a vapor without losing its identity,and another theory held that the two phases are 35different kinds of molecules(分子).The theories now prevailing36a quite different approach by emphasizing what liquids and gases have in common.They are both forms of matter that have no permanent structure,and they both flow easily.They are fluids.The37similarly of liquids and gases becomes clearly apparent when the temperature and pressure are raised somewhat.Suppose a closed container partially filled with a liquid is heated. The liquid expands or in other words,becomes less dense;some of it evaporates.38,the vapor above the liquid surface becomes denser as the evaporated molecules are added to it.The combination of temperature and pressure at which the densities become equal is39the criticalpoint.Above the critical point the liquid and the gas can no longer be40;there is a single, undifferentiated fluid phase of uniform density.第十六篇A)earned B)provided C)adapted D)match E)however F)rival G)adapted H)deserved I)available J)bestowed K)developed L)generated M)endowed N)accustomed O)doomedOur ape-men forefathers had no obvious natural weapons in the struggle for survival in the open.They had neither the powerful teeth nor the strong claws of the big cats.They could not31 with the bear,whose strength,speed and claws32an impressive‘small-fire'weaponry.They could not even defend themselves by running swiftly like the horses,zebras or small animals.If the ape-man had attempted to compete on those terms in the open,they would have been33to failure and extinction.But they were34with enormous concealed advantages of a kind not possessed by any of their competitors.In the search of the pickings of the forest,the ape-men had35efficient stereoscopic vision and a sense of color that the animals of the grasslands did not possess.The ability to see clearly at close range permitted the ape-men to study practical problems in a way that lay far beyond the reach of the original inhabitants of the grassland.Good long-distance sight was quite another matter.Lack of long-distance vision had not been a problem for forest-dwelling apes and monkeys because the higher the viewpoint,the greater the range of sight–so all they had had to do was climb a tree.Out in the open,however,this simple solution was not36.Climbing a hill would have helped,but in many places the ground was flat.The ape-men37the only possible solution.They reared up as high as possible on their hind limbs and began to walk upright.This vital change of physical position brought about considerable disadvantages.It was extremely unstable and it meant that the already slow ape-men became slower still.38,they persevered and their bone structure graduallyBecause39to the new,unstable position that40them the name Homo erectus,upright man.第十七篇A)working B)claim C)innocently D)have E)yet F)request G)fitness H)expansion I)wider J)coped K)rapidly L)instantly M)faced N)ampler O)cultivationThe way that people spend their money,and the objects on which they spend it,are the last areas where free choice and individuality can be expressed.The choice reflects personal taste,the way people see themselves and the fantasies they31about their lives,the restrictions on money available to them,the presence of others in the family with a32on that money,and the influence of current convention,33,surroundings and locality.Shopping is an important human activity.Yet shoppers are34with a confusing situation and a(n)35changing one.The confusion arises from the claims made by adverting,from inadequate information about new products,new materials,new places to shop–a confusion enhanced by rising prices and a(n) 36choice of goods than ever before.The search for the right purchase is based on ignorance of one’s own needs and ignorance of the product's37for those needs.When choosing any particular item,there are several lines of communication which might provide some guidance.38none of these is entirely satisfactory.
