2020年大学英语四级考试真题及解析(第二套)一、PartⅠWriting(30minutes)1.Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to write an essay on the use of PowerPoint(PPT)in class.You can start your essay with the sentence“The use of PowerPoint is becoming increasingly popular in class”.You should write at least120words but no more than180words.输入答案内容...【答案】【参考范文】In recent years,using PPT is becoming increasingly prevalent among teachers while having classes.PPT can present knowledge in a clearer way, which will be more convenient for students to digest.And for teachers, PPT also rescues them from writing on the blackboard,which is sometimes a heavy work.Besides,PPT can be saved and copied for students to review after class.But for people who prefer the traditional class,they think PPT can never replace the blackboard.As when having class with PPT,students have less time taking notes.Meanwhile,some teachers say preparing PPT is very time-consuming and not efficient at all.From what has been discussed above,PPT does have strengths and weaknesses.But I believe it brings so much convenience for us that we can ignore the few weakness it has.And when using it,we can still take the blackboard as an aid so as to present the class in the best way.【审题构思】本次考查的话题“PowerPoint”贴近于生活,让考生就课堂使用PPT的现象,发表自己的看法。

This not only helps to provide healthy food for urban residents but also reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation and storage of vegetables. In addition, urban farming also promotes a sense of community and encourages people to reconnect with nature even in the midst of concrete jungles.四、写作Part I: Writing an EssayTopic: The Impact of Social Media on Interpersonal CommunicationSocial media has become an integral part of our lives, changing the way we communicate and interact with others. While social media platforms provide numerous benefits, they also have a significant impact on interpersonal communication.One major impact of social media on interpersonal communication is the ease and convenience of staying connected. Social media allows individuals to communicate with friends and family from anywhere, at any time. Whether through messages, video calls, or status updates, social media enables instant communication and the sharing of information. This has greatly improved the ability to stay in touch with loved ones, especially for those who are physically apart.Additionally, social media has expanded our social circles and facilitated the formation of new relationships. Through online communities and interest groups, individuals can connect with likeminded people from around the world. This has opened up opportunities for meaningful interactions and the exchange of ideas. People can now build friendships and professional connections beyond geographical boundaries.However, social media has also posed challenges to interpersonal communication. One particular challenge is the loss of nonverbal cues. Much of communication is nonverbal, including body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice. These nonverbal cues provide vital context and emotional depth to conversations. In online communication, these cues are often absent or misunderstood, leading to misinterpretation and misunderstandings.Moreover, social media has the potential to create a sense of isolation and superficiality in relationships. With the focus on curated online personas and the pressure to present a filtered version of oneself, genuine connections can be overshadowed. The constant comparison and fear of missing out can also lead to feelings of inadequacy and social anxiety. Facetoface interactions, on the other hand, allow for a deeper level of understanding and connection.In conclusion, social media has revolutionized interpersonal communication, providing new avenues for connection and information exchange. However, it is important to recognizethe challenges it presents, such as the loss of nonverbal cues and the potential for superficial relationships. Striking a balance between online and offline interactions is crucial for mntning meaningful connections in the digital age.Part II: Writing a LetterDear Professor Thompson,I am writing to express my appreciation for your passionate and engaging teaching style throughout the semester. Your enthusiasm for the subject matter has made each class a joy to attend, and I have found myself genuinely interested in the topics we have covered.I wanted to specifically highlight your ability to expln complex concepts in a clear and concise manner.

2020年12月大学英语四级考试真题(二)Part ⅡListening ComprehensionNews Report One【听力原文】[1]A waiter has returned a check worth nearly 424,000 dollars to a retired social worker who lost it. The waiter found a bank envelop while cleaning off a table last Saturday at restaurant. He ran outside but the customer was gone. He opened the envelope and got a shock. After an unsuccessful search, the restaurant’s owner called the Daily News for help. The “relieved”customer was reunited with her check On Wednesday. It contained money from her apartment sale, already planned for the down payment on a new home. The customer did not tip the waiter after her meal. [2]Shetried to give him money later on, but he graciously declined. The waiter, who’s working his way through school, didn accept the customer’s apology and gratitude, and said it was happy to have helped her.Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.1. What does the news report say about the waiter?2. What did the customer try to do when she got her check back?News Report Two【听力原文】[3]The village of Maref in Alaska voted on Tuesday to move to the state’s mainland. The move is due to global warming and rising sea levels. Most of the village’s 169 registered voters, took part in the town hall meeting. They decided in a vote of 89 to 78 to move from their land on Sarichef Island, near the Arctic Circle. Maref Council secretary Donna Barr said thevote was largely symbolic. [4]It will be costly financially to the community. “About 15 years ago, they estimated the cost at $180 million. [4]I would figure it’s much higher now,” Barr said, “we don’t see the move happening in our lifetime because of the funding.” The village’s roughly 650 residents have seen warming temperatures melt sea ice and permanently frozen land. This has resulted in houses falling into the water. At least 31 villages in Alaska face “immediate threats” due to climate change, the Government Accountability Office reported in 2009.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.3. What is Maref’s vote on Tuesday about?4. Why did Donna Barr say they wouldn’t see the plan carried out any time soon?News Report Three【听力原文】[5]A man in Halifax Canada wanted to find out if people are thankful for someone holding the door open for them. [7]The social experiment showed that 99 out of 100 people express gratitude. “I didn’t think we were going to get 99. I don’t know why, but I was pleasantly surprised because beyond just ‘thank you’—people got into conversation with us,”said Steve Foran, CEO of Gratitude at W ork. “What we know from research is that from grateful people come good things”, he said.[6]“A simple way to induce gratitude in people is opening doors and so we went to six places and open the doors for people.” For the experiment, Foran’s team went to a shopping center, a mall, two office buildings and a coffee shop. The door was held for 15 to 20 people at a time at each location. “We did have one that didn’t say thank you. We were not here to judge them because on any given day that could be me or you. I suspect that at the 100 people that were probably a bunch of them having a bad day. But grateful peoplemake pe ople grateful”, said Foran.Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.5. What is the purpose of the social experiment?6. What did Steve Foran and his team do in the experiment?7. What do we learn from the experiment?Conversation One【听力原文】W: Raise Solar. Lisa’s speaking. How can I help?M: Hi, my name is Winston. [8]I wish to inquire about solar panel installations.W: Yes, what would you like to know?M: [9]Well, my neighbor installed panels on his roof about a year ago in order to power his hotwater. He tells me it has saved him over $500thus far. Does that sound about right to you? W: Well. I’m not familiar with your neighbor or his particular setup, but that amount is definitely possible. I can tell you that the average four-bedroom house may typically have a roof with fifty square meters of surface area. Four panels on one side of that roof could save a family of four around three hundred dollars a year.M: Ok. That sounds about right then. [9]My house is about the size you described, but my neighbor’s is bigger.I’m not sure how many panels he has up there, [9]but he does have a large family of six.W: Are you interested in installing some solar panels on your roof, sir?M: Yes. I’m considering it.W: If you wish to come into our office, we could show you the different solutions we offer.M: Ok. I might do that. But just quickly, [10]if you don’t mind, could you tell me approximatelyhow much a typical installation costs, like, say,four panels?W: Prices do vary depending on different factors, but as a rough estimate, it’s around $2,000.[11]But you know, a typical household willmake back that initial investment in about fiveyears.M: Ok. I see. Thank you.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.8. What is the man’s purpose for calling the woman?9. What do we learn about the man’s neighbor from the conversation?10. What is one of the man’s chief concerns?11. How long will it take a typical household to make back the initial investment?【答案】DConversation Two【听力原文】M: Good afternoon, Sorry to have kept you waiting. How can I help you?W: Oh, no problem. [12]I am interested in bookinga holiday to Australia and wonder if you couldtell me what deals do you have?M: Sure, are you only looking for flights or package holiday with everything included?W: When you say everything, what do you mean?M:Well,[12]a package holiday will include flights,hotels,meals,day trips to differentplaces of interest and the transport to and fromthe airport.W: [13]Yeah, that sounds pretty good.

Why is the woman interested in package holidays?14. How long does the woman want to go for the holiday?15. What does the woman say she likes about the holiday package?Passage One【听力原文】[16]Tourists taking a holiday in the Indonesian island of Bali are facing a new $14 per person tax when they arrived on the holiday island from next year. But this is a green tax, which Bali governor Wayan Koster had been working on for months and which is designed to help clean up the island natural environment and with good reason, too. [17]Indonesia is drowning in plastics. Recycling is not one of the countries’ strong points. It’snot uncommon to be offered many more plastic bags than one could ever need when visiting the supermarkets and shopping malls. But slowly, things are starting to change for the better.Back in 2016, the medium-sized the city of Banjarmasin banned single-used plastic bags. The city of Bogor followed suit in 2018. A few months ago, [18]Koster announced the plan that would not only ban the single-used plastic bags from supermarkets and convenience stores but plastic bags and straws across the island. The regulation will come into full effect next month. “We received a fast and quick response for the Balinese people, not only positive responses for the Balinese, we received good responses from the central government, other local governments and even from overseas.” Koster told The Sydney Morning Herald this week during an interview. The governor is a determined environmentalist and he has more laws planned to protect the island’s water ways in particular and tosupport the introduction of electric vehicles too.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What will tourists have to do when they visit Indonesia’s Bali Island?17. What does the passage say about Indonesia?18. What is the new plan governor Koster recently announced?Passage Two【听力原文】[19]An endangered species of whale is experiencinga small baby boom of the coast America. The north Atlantic right whale is one of the rarest species on the planet, numbering only about 411. But the Center for Coastal Studies said Friday that it’s aerial survey team spotted a mom with two babies in Cape Cod Bay a day earlier. That brings the number seen in nearby waters alone this year to 3. That’s big news because the whalepopulation has been falling and no baby whales were seen last year. In all, seven baby whales have been spotted so far this year. [20]The whale population has become endangered due to commercial whaling activities in recent years. This is because they are sometimes hunted for their meat or their skin. Over-hunting could lead to the disappearance of the whale population, possibly causing major problems to the global food chain. [21]The whales give birth off the southeast coast of America in the winter and travel to feeding grounds of the northeast coast in the early spring. Northeast coast is a critically important source of food. The animals often feed close to shore. This provides watchers on land with unbeatable views of one of the rarest of marine mammals. It’s illegal to get within 1,500 feet of the animals without federal research permit, so well watchers are discouraged from tempting to get to the whales.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What do we learn from the passage about the North Atlantic right whale?20. What has caused the decline of the whale population in recent years?21. What do the whales travel to the northeast coast of America in the early spring?Passage Three【听力原文】An average person consumes 144 pints of milk a year, but 40% of that is poured on to cereal and 60% of those people are children. But what was once advertised as nutrition is becoming unpopular. [22]Americans drinks 37% less milk than they did in the 1970s. And in the UK, dairy consumption overall has fallen by a third in the past 20 years. [23]Milk is increasingly being described in a negative light. A recent blog suggested:“M aybe people are drinking less milk because it is poisonous to many of us.”[24]Lactose is the sugar found in milk and dairy products. It needs a series of complex proteins to break it down. Without enough of these proteins, the lactose is broken down by bacteria in the human body. This can cause physical pain and produce gas in the stomach. However, after we have finished breast and formula feeding, most of us don’t continue producing the complex proteins in our bodies, which are necessary to break down the lactose. Despite the problems in degisting milk, it does provide many benefits. [25]Milk is nutritious—it contains vitamins A and D as well as protein and isn’t full of calories. You can test yourself by drinking a large glass of milk. If you get sick in your stomach within the next 24 hours, you are lacking the proteins to digest milk.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What does the passage say about Americans?23. How do Americans and British think of milk nowadays?24. Why does drinking milk cause pain in some people?25. What does the passage say is a benefit of milk?。

Children were responsible for the vast majority of cases. 95% of objects removed from noses and 85% from ears. Every year, an averageof 1,218 nose and 2,479 ear removals took place between 2010 and 2016. According to England's hospital episodes statistics, children aged one to four, were the most likely to need help from doctors for a foreign object in their nose, five to nine-year-olds come to the hospital with something in their ears the most. Jewelry items accounted for up to 40% of cases in both the ears and noses of children, paper and plastic toys, where the items removed next most from noses, cotton beds and pencils were also found in ears. According to the study, the occurrence of foreign objects in children is generally attributed to curiosity. Children have an impulse toexplore their noses and ears. This results in the accidental entry of forei gn objects. Any ear, nose and throat surgeon has many weird stories about wonderful objects found in the noses and ears of children and adults. Batteries can pose a particular danger. In all cases, prevention is better than cure. This is why many toys contain warnings about small parts. Recognizing problems early and seeking medical attention is important.Question 16 to 18, are based on the passage you've just heard .16. What does England spend an annual 3 million pounds on?17. What do we learn from England's hospital episodes statistics?18. What is generally believed to account for children putting things in their ears or noses?Passage 2Today, I would like to talk to you about my charity rebicycle. But before that, let me introduce someone. This is Layla Rahimi. She was so scared when she first moved to New Zealand, that she struggled to leave the house and would spend days workingup the courage to walk to the supermarket for basic supplies.After a few months of being quite down and unhappy, she was invited to join a local bike club. At this time, rebicycle got involved and gave Layla a second-hand bicycle. Within weeks, her depression had begun to ease as she cycled. The bicycle totally changed her life, giving her hope and a true feeling of freedom.To date, rebicycle has donated more than 200 bikes to those in need. And there's now expanding bike riding lessons as demand source. With a bike, newcomers here can travel farther, but for almost no cost. The three hours a day, they used to spend walking to and from English language lessons has been reduced to just one hour.Our bike riding lessons are so successful that we are urgently looking for more volunteers, learning to ride a bike is almost always more difficult for an adult, and this can take days and weeks rather than hours. So if any of you have some free time during the weekend, please come join us at re bicycle and make a difference in someone's life.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage. You have just heard 19. What did rebicycle do to help Layla Rahimi?20. What is Rebicycle doing to help those in need?21. What do we learn from the passage about rebicycle?Passage 3Thanks to the international space station, we know quite a bit about the effects of low gravity on the human body, but NASA scientists want to learn more. To that end, they have been studying how other species deal with low gravity, specifically focusing on mice. The results are both interesting and humorous. The scientists first sent some mice and especially designed cage to the international space station. The cage allowed them tostudy the behavior of the mice remotely from earth via video. As you'll notice in the video, the mice definitely seem uncomfortable at the beginning of the experiment. They move around clumsily, drifting within the small confines of the cage, and do their best to figure out which way is up.But without success, however, it's not long before the mice begin to catch on. They adapt remarkably well to their new environment and even use the lack of gravity to their advantage as they push themselves around the cage. That's when things really get wild. The 11th day of the experiment shows the mice are not just dealing with the gravity change, but actually seem to be enjoying it. Several of the mice are observed running around the cage walls. The scientist wanted to see whether the mice would continue doing the same kinds of activities they were observed doing on earth. The study showed thatthe mice kept much of the routines intact, including cleaning themselves and eating when hungry.22 to 25 are based on the paths that you have just heard question.22. What do NASA scientists want to learn about?23. What does the passage say about the mice at the beginning of the experiment?24. What was observed about the mice on the 11th day of the experiment?25. What did the scientists find about the mice from the experiment?二、四级选词填空部分:When my son completes a task, I can't hlep but praise him.26. B. constant27. G. negative28. K. repeatedly29. L. rewarded30.

New applications on transportation emerge abundantly, contributing to the fact that people* s lifestyle has been changed as well.The changes in the way of transportation can be listed as follows. First of all, with the development of technology, the priceof transportation is much cheaper than before. Moreover, compared with traditional ways of buying tickets, transportation applications and websites give passengers the opportunity to book tickets online without going outside to particular ticket offices. Besides, highspeed railways gradually replace the oldfashioned green trains, which can tremendously improve travelers’ comfort during the journey and shorten the time spent on the way.From my perspective, the changes in the way of transportation mainly lie in the good respects. As one of the fortunate passengers who live in the age of internet and can get access to online service of transportation, I can* t help exclaiming: it is the best of times.六、四级翻译部分:春节前夕吃团圆饭是中国人的传统。
