The children attended a small elementary school (often of just one room) to that they had to walk 79. every day, possibly for a few miles. The school term was short so that the children could not help on the farm. 80. Although the whole family worked, and life was not easy , farmers as a class were self - reliant and independent .1. D2.

In the eighteenth century farmers were quiteself-sufficient. The farm family grew and made almost nothing it needed. Thesurplus crop (71) would be sold to buy a few items in the local generalstore.In 1860, because some of the farmpopulation had (72) moved to the city, yet eightypercent of the American population was still in the country. In the latenineteen century, farm work and life were not much changed from that theyhad been in the old days. The farmer aroused at (74) dawn or before and hadmuch work to do, with his own muscles like his chief source of power. Heused axes, (76) spades and other complicated tools.In his house cooking(77) was done in wood-burning stoves, and the kerosene lamp was the onlyimprovement on the candle. The family’s recreation and social life chieflyconsisted a drive in the (78) wagon to the nearby small town or village totransact some business as well as to chat with neighbors who had also come totown. The children attended a small elementary school (often of just oneroom) to that they had to walk (79) every day, possibly for a few miles.The school term was short so that the children could not help on the farm.(80)Although the whole family worked, and lifewas not easy, farmers as a class were self-reliant and independent.71. nothing→ everything72. because→ although73. nineteen→ nineteenth74. that→ what75. aroused→ arose76. like→ as/being77. complicated→ simple78.

Yourpredictions of what will happen this year.加一个图表Yourcomposition should be no less than 120 words and you should quote as fewfigures as possible.作文范文：The graph shows the changing rate of caraccidents in Walton city in 1990. The first two months of 1990 showed anincreasing trend. The rate rose to 32 in March but fell to 26 in June. FromJune on the rate was rising again and reached the peak point 39 in August.After August the rate began to decline, and eventually dropped to the lowestpoint 16 at the end of the year.The highest rate in August was due tounfavorable weather conditions. Humidity and high temperature make driversimpatient, which easily leads to car accidents. The high rate in the first halfof 1990 was also caused by the bad weather condition. In Walton Citythe excessive rain comes at early spring. The rain made road slippery, whichoften resulted in car accidents.This year the pattern is expected to change.The city government has raised fund to improve the road condition. Two newroads will be finished at the beginning of this year and are expected to opento traffic soon. Furthermore, the new road regulation provides that in summer everycar must be air-conditioned. With all these precautions, I’m sure that the rateof car accidents will be much lower this year.。

1991年6月英语四级作文题及范文1991年6月英语四级题及范文Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition of no less than 100 words on Changes in People's Diet. Study the following table carefully and your composition must be based on the information given in the table. Write three paragraphs to:1, state the changes in people's diet (饮食) in the past five years;2, give possible reasons for the changes3, draw your own conclusions.4, you should quote as few figures as possible.范文：From the chart we can see that during the past five years there have been great changes in people’s diet. The greatest change occurs in grain consumption, which has dropped 4% from 49% in 1986 to 45% in 1990 in total food consumption. The second greatest change is in milk consumption, which increased from 10% in 1986 to 13% in 1990. But on the other hand, two trends can be observed in the consumption of meat and fruit and vegetables. From 1986 to 1989, meat consumption increased from 17% to 23% while that of fruit and vegetables dropped from 24% to 20%. From 1989 to 1990, meat consumption dropped a little to 21%, while that of fruit and vegetables increased a little to 21%.What has caused the great changes in people’s diet? The main reason, I think, lies in the improvement in people’s income level. With the development of our society, people are becoming richer and richer, which enables them to purchase morenutritious food such as meat and milk. In the meantime, grain consumption in people’s diet consequently dropped.So from the analysis, we can draw a conclusion that our society is progressing and people are living a better life than ever before. We are now able to purchase more delicious and nutritious food, resulting in an improvement in our health.。

According to United States Coast Guard requirements, life preservers must be simple in design, reversible, capable of being quickly adjusted to fit the uninitiated individual, and must be so designed as to support the wearer in the water in an upright or slightly backward position.Sufficient buoyancy (浮力) to support the wearer should be retained by the life preserver after 48 hour in the water, and it should be reliable even after long period of storage. Thus it should be made of materials resistant to sunlight, gasoline, and oils, and it should be not easily set on fire.The position in which the life preserver will support a person who jumps or falls into the water is most important, as is its tendency to turn the wearer in the water from a face-down position to an upright or slightly backward position, with his face clear of the water, even when the wearer is exhausted or unconscious.The method of adjustment to the body should be simple, and self-evident to uninitiated persons even in the dark under the confused conditions which follow a disaster. Thus, the life preserver should be reversible, so that it is nearly impossible to set it on wrong. Catches, straps, and ties should be kept to a minimum. In addition, the life preserver must be adjustable to the wide variety of shapes and sizes of wearers, since this greatlyaffects the position of floating and the self-righting qualities. A suitable life preserver should also be comfortable to wear at all times, in and out of the water, not so heavy as to encourage to take it off on shipboard while the ship is in danger, nor so burdensome that it hinders a person in the water while trying to swim.21. The passage is mainly about ________.A) the uses of life preserversB) the design of life preserversC) the materials for life preserversD) the buoyancy of life preservers22. According to the passage, a life preserver should be first of all, ________.A) adjustableB) comfortableC) self-evidentD) self-righting23. United States Coast Guard does NOT require the life preserver to the made________.A) with as few strings as possibleB) capable of being worn on both sides。

1991年1月阅读一：商业的船只和客船一般都需要为每个人准备一个救生圈，在大多数情况下，需要给孩子准备一定比例的小尺寸的。
根据美国海岸警备队的要求，救生圈必须设计简单、可逆，能够是被迅速调整以使外行人适用，并且它必须这样设计来支持它的使用者在水中保持直立或者稍稍向后的位置。
在水中48小时候救生圈还应为使用者提供足够的浮力，并且经过长时间的存储它的性能还应该是可靠的。
因此他应该使用耐阳光、汽油和其他油类的材料来制作，并且不应该容易着火。
救生圈来支持一个跳入水中或落入水中的人最重要的是它的位置，因为它倾向于把在水中的使用者由面朝下变为直立或者稍稍向后倾的位置，使他的脸离开水面，即使是使用者已经筋疲力尽或者无意识了。
调整身体的方法对外行来说应该是简单、不言而喻的，即使是在由灾难引起的混乱的黑暗情况下。
因此，救生圈应该是可逆的，因此基本不可能设置错误。
渔获量、肩带和纽带应该保持在最低限度。
另外，救生圈必须能对各种各样的体型和尺寸的使用者适用，因为这大大影响着漂浮的位置和自我调整的质量，一个合适的救生圈应该在任何时候都戴着很舒服，不管在水里或不在水里，当船遇到危险时，不会因为太重而在促使使用者将它脱下来，也不会成为阻碍一个想在水中游泳的人的负担。
阅读二：一百年前，经济学家已经假定并科学地“证明”社会法律会产生大量的由穷人和失业人员构成的军队，以保持经济的持续。
今天，几乎没有人敢提这条原则，人们普遍接受，任何人都不应该被富裕的西方工业化国家所排斥，一个保险制度已经出台，来保证在失业、生病和老年的情况下每个人的最低生活费用。
我想进一步说，即使这些情况都不存在，每个人都有权得到维持生活的手段，换句话说，他可以不需要任何理由来索赔这笔最低生活维持费。
但是，我建议这应该限制在一定的时间内，比如说两年，以避免鼓励那些拒绝任何社会责任的不正常态度的出现。
这听起来像个梦幻般的建议，但是我认为，我们的保险制度已经在一百年前被敲响，反对这项计划的主要是如果每个人都有权获得最低限度的支援，人们将不会再工作。

They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humour, at least in parent-child relationships.I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honour. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be resp onsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially parents, into doing things the ways you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.21. The author is primarily addressing ________.A) parents of teenagersB) newspaper readersC) those who give advice to teenagersD) teenagers22. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A) the teenagers’ criticism of their parentsB) misunderstandings between teenagers and their parentsC) the dominance of the parents over their childrenD) the teenagers’ ability to deal with crises23. Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they ________.A) want to show their existence by creating a culture of their ownB) have a strong desire to be leaders in style and tasteC) have no other way to enjoy themselves betterD) want to irritate their parents24. Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they________.A) have already been accepted into the adult worldB) feel that they are superior in a small way to the adultsC) are not likely to win over the adultsD) have a desire to be independent25. To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be ________.A) obedientB) responsibleC) co-operativeD) independentQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The long years of food shortage in this country have suddenly given way to apparent abundance. Stores and shops are choked with food. Rationing (定量供应) is virtually suspended, and overseas suppliers have been asked to hold back deliveries. Yet, instead of joy, there is widespread uneasiness and confusion. Why do food prices keep on rising, when there seems to be so much more food about? Is the abundance only temporary, or has it come to stay? Does it mean that we need to think less now about producing more food at home? No one knows what to expect.The recent growth of export surpluses on the world food market has certainly been unexpectedly great, partly because a strange sequence of two successful grain harvests. North America is now being followed by a third. Most of Britain’s overs eas suppliers of meat, too, are offering more this year and home production has also risen.But the effect of all this on the food situation in this country has been made worse by a simultaneous rise in food prices, due chiefly to the gradual cutting down of government support for food. The shops are overstocked with food not only because there is more food available, but also because people, frightened by high prices, are buying less of it.Moreover, the rise in domestic prices has come at a time when world prices have begun to fall, with the result that imported food, with the exception of grain, is often cheaper than the home-produced variety. And now grain prices, too, are falling.Consumers are beginning to ask why they should not be enabled to benefit from this trend.The significance of these developments is not lost on farmers. The older generation have seen it all happen before. Despite the present price and market guarantees, farmers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheap food imports and a shrinking home market. Present production is running at 51 per cent above pre-war levels, and the government has called for an expansion to 60 per cent by 1956; but repeated Ministerial advice is carrying little weight and the expansion programme is not working very well.26. Why is there “wide-spread uneasiness and confusion about the food situation inBritain?”A) The abundant food supply is not expected to last.B) Britain is importing less food.C) Despite the abundance, food prices keep rising.D) Britain will cut back on its production of food.27. The main reason for the rise in food prices is that ________.A) people are buying less foodB) the government is providing less financial support for agricultureC) domestic food production has decreasedD) imported food is driving prices higher28. Why didn’t the government’s expansion programme work very well?A) Because the farmers were uncertain about the financial support the governmentguaranteed.B) Because the farmers were uncertain about the benefits of expanding production.C) Because the farmers were uncertain about whether foreign markets could be foundfor their produce.D) Because the older generation of farmers were strongly against the programmer.29. The decrease in world food price was a result of ________.A) a sharp fall in the purchasing power of the consumersB) a sharp fall in the cost of food productionC) the overproduction of food in the food-importing countriesD) the overproduction on the part of the main food-exporting countries30. What did the future look like for Britain’s food production at the time this articlewas written?A) The fall in world food prices would benefit British food producers.B) An expansion of food production was at hand.C) British food producers would receive more government financial support.D) It looks depressing despite government guarantees.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.It is hard to predict how science is going to turn out, and if it is really good science it is impossible to predict. If the things to be found are actually new, they are by definition unknown in advance. You cannot make choices in this matter. You either have science or you don’t, and if you have it you are obliged to accept the surprising and disturbing pieces of information, along with the neat and promptly useful bits.The only solid piece of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It is, in its way, an illumination piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment (启蒙运动) to be told by any of us how little we know and how bewildering seems the way ahead. It is this sudden confrontation with the depth and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of the 20th century science to the human intellect. In earlier times, we either pretended to understand how things worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up stories to fill the gaps. Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are getting glimpses of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered. Because of this, we are depressed. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant; the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-bad spots, but no true light at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels that can yet be trusted.But we are making a beginning, and there ought to be some satisfaction. There are probably no questions we can think up that can’t be answered, sooner or later, including even the matter of consciousness. To be sure, there may well be questions we can’t think up, ever, and therefore limits to the reach of human intellect, but that is another matter. Within our limits, we should be able to work our way through to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, and pay attention.31. According to the author, really good science ________.A) would surprise the brightest minds of the 18th century EnlightenmentB) will produce results which cannot be foreseenC) will help people to make the right choice in advanceD) will bring about disturbing results32. It can be inferred from the passage that scientists of the 18th century ________.A) thought that they knew a great deal and could solve most problems of scienceB) were afraid of facing up to the realities of scientific researchC) knew that they were ignorant and wanted to know more about natureD) did more harm than good in promoting man’s understanding of nature33. Which of the following statements is NOT true of scientists in earlier times?A) They invented false theories to explain things they didn’t understand.B) They falsely claimed to know all about nature.C) They did not believe in results from scientific observation.D) They paid little attention to the problems they didn’t understand.34. What is the author’s attitude towards sci ence?A) He is depressed because of the ignorance of scientists.B) He is doubtful because of the enormous difficulties confronting it.C) He is confident though he is aware of the enormous difficulties confrontingit.D) He is delighted because of the illuminating scientific findings.35. The author believes that ________.A) man can find solutions to whatever questions concerning nature he can thinkupB) man can not solve all the problems he can think up because of the limits ofhuman intellectC) sooner or later man can think up all the questions concerning nature and answerthemD) questions concerning consciousness are outside the scope of scientificresearchDQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Greenspace facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present, it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of greenspaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right way, this does not mean, however, that sufficient details are known about the functions of greenspace in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants are using these spaces. As to this rather complex subject I shall, within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative function of greenspace facilities.The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighbourhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air hasto begin at the street-door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect.The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street-door of your house is closed after you.36. According to the author, the importance of greenspaces in the urban environment________.A) is still unknownB) is usually neglectedC) is being closely studiedD) has been fully recognized37. The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to________.A) the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighbourhoodB) the location of recreation facilities far from homeC) relatively little attention for recreative possibilitiesD) the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighbourhood38. The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of green space should beprovided ________.A) in special areasB) in the suburbsC) in the neighbourhood of the houseD) in gardens and parks39. According to the author, greenspace facilities should be designed in such a waythat ________.A) more obligatory activities might take on a recreative aspectB) more and more people might have access to themC) an increasing number of recreative activities might be developedD) recreative activities might be brought into our homes40. The main idea of this passage is that ________.A) better use of greenspace facilities should be made so as to improve the qualityof our lifeB) attention must be directed to the improvement of recreative possibilitiesC) the urban environment is providing more recreation activities than it did manyyears agoD) priority must be given to the development of obligatory activitiesPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)41.

In the eighteenth century farmers were quite self-sufficient. The farm family grew and made almost nothing it needed. The surplus crop (71) would be sold to buy a few items in the local general store.In 1860, because some of the farm population had (72) moved to the city, yet eighty percent of the American population was still in the country. In the late nineteen century, farm work and life were not much changed from that they had been in the old days. The farmer aroused at (74) dawn or before and had much work to do, with his own muscles like his chief source of power. He used axes, (76) spades and other complicated tools. In his house cooking (77) was done in wood-burning stoves, and the kerosene lamp was the only improvement on the candle. Th e family’s recreation and social life chiefly consisted a drive in the (78) wagon to the nearby small town or village to transact some business as well as to chat with neighbors who had also come to town. The children attended a small elementary school (often of just one room) to that they had to walk (79) every day, possibly for a few miles. The school term was short so that the children could not help on the farm. (80)Although the whole family worked, and life was not easy, farmers as a class were self-reliant and independent.Part V Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition write a composition based on the graph below.Outline:1.

The rate rose to 32 in March but fell to 26 in June. From June on the rate was rising again and reached the peak point 39 in August. After August the rate began to decline, and eventually dropped to the lowest point 16 at the end of the year.The highest rate in August was due to unfavorable weather conditions. Humidity and high temperature make drivers impatient, which easily leads to car accidents. The high rate in the first half of 1990 was also caused by the bad weather condition. In Walton City the excessive rain comes at early spring. The rain made road slippery, which often resulted in car accidents.This year the pattern is expected to change. The city government has raised fund to improve the road condition. Two new roads will be finished at the beginning of this year and are expected to open to traffic soon. Furthermore, the new road regulation provides that in summer every car must be air-conditioned. With all these precautions, I’m sure that the rate of car accidents will be m uch lower this year.1991年6月六级听力原文Section A1. M: Now, what’s your problem, Madam?W: Oh, yes.

This is a difficult and unpleasant business and few animals would survive if they had to start from the beginning and learn about the world wholly by trial and error, for there are the have possible decisions which would prove fatal. So we find, in practice, that the game is always arranged in favour of the young animal in one way or another. Either the animal is protected during the early stages of its learning about the world around it, or the knowledge of which way to respond is built into its nervous system from the start. The fact that animals behave sensibly can be attributed partly to what we might call genetic(遗传的) learning, to distinguish it from the individual learning that an animal does in the course of its own life time. Genetic learning is learning by a species as a whole, and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to behave in the right way. How- ever, genetic learning depends upon a prediction that the future will more or less exactly resemble the past. The more variable individual experience is likely to be, the less efficient is genetic learning as a means of getting over the problems of the survival game. It is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning. In the great majority of animals, behaviour is a compound of individual experience and genetic learning to behave in particular ways. 26. According to the first paragraph, the survival game is considered potentially very dangerous because A) animals are constantly threatened by attacks B) wrong decisions will lead to the disappearance of a species C) decisions made by an animal may turn out to be fatal D) few animals can survive in their struggle with the environment 27. It is implied but not directly stated in the passage that most animals A) are likely to make wrong decisions B) have made correct decisions for their survival C) depend entirely on their parents in learning about the world around them D) survive by means of individual learning 28. Genetic learning is effective only if A) the survival game is arranged in favour of the young animals B) the animals can adapt themselves to the changing surroundings C) circumstances remain more or less the same D) the animals have varied individual experiences 29. The best TITLE for this passage would be A) The Decision - Making Ability of Animals B) Survival and Environment C) Reward and Penalty for Animals D) Behaviour and Survival 30. How is genetic leaning achieved? A) It is inherited from animals with keen observation. B) It is passed down from those animals that behave in the correct way. C) It is taught to the young generation. D) It is learned by the new generation through trial and error。

Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Lecturing as a method of teaching is so frequently under attack today from educational psychologists and by students that some justification is needed to keep it. Critics believe that is results in passive methods of learning which tend to be less effective than those which fully engage the learner. They also maintain that students have no opportunity to ask questions and must all receive the same content at the same pace, that they are exposed only to one teacher' s interpretation of subject matter which will certainly be limited and that, anyway, few lectures rise above dullness. Nevertheless, in a number of inquiries this pessimistic evaluation of lecturing as a teaching method proves not to be general among students although they do fairly often comment on poor lecturing techniques. Students praise lectures which are clear and orderly outlines in which basic principles are emphasised but dislike too numberous digressions(离题) or lectures which consist in part of the contents of a textbook. Students of science subjects consider that a lecture is a good way to in- traduce a new subject, putting it in its value as a period of discussion of problems and possible solutions with their lecturer. They do not look for inspiration(灵感) -this is more commenly mentioned by teachers - but arts students look for originality in lectures. Medical and dental students who have reports on teaching methods, or specifically on lecturing, suggest that there should be fewer lectures or that, at the least, more would be unpopular. 21. The passage states that A) few students dislike lecturing as a teaching method B) lecturing is a good method of teaching C) lecturing as a teaching method proves to be uninspiring D) most students like lectures because they can fully engage the learner 22. According to the critics, A) lectures can't make students active in their studies B) some lecturers' knowledge of their subjects limited C) most lectures are similar in content D) few lectures are dull 23. According to this passage, students dislike lectures which A) introduce mat la[ not included in the texbook B) present many problems for discussion C) always wander from the subject D) stress the main points 24. Lecturing as a teaching method is less appreciated by A) dental teachers B) medical students C) arts lecturers D) science learners 25. According to the author, the evaluation of lecturing as a teaching method by educational psychologists is A) defonsive B) conservative C) realistic D) negative Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: From the moment that an animal is born it has to make decisions. It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating, and which are to be avoided when to attack and when to run away. The animal is, in effect, playing a complicated and potentially very dangerous game with its environment, discomfort or destruction.。
