Choose the one th at you think is the correct answer. Mark your choice on your answer sheet.TEXT ASurprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospit als, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are jus t not kept. We know that more than 850.000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education wh ile in hospital. We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital.Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital t eaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part-time teacher. The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have som e contact with a hospital teacher—and that contact may be as little as two hour s a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If the re was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and m aintaining the habit of school to keeping achild occupied, and the latter is of ten all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summ ed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady” or just “the helper”. Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school w ork. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can.Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to e ase the anxiety上一页[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] ... 下一页>>上一页[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] ... 下一页>>英语专业四级考试全真试卷及答案[上]about falling behind expressed by many of the children interview ed.66． The author points out at the beginning that___.A. every child in hospital receives some teachingB. not enough is known about hospital teachingC. hospital teaching is of poor qualityD. the special children’s hospitals are worst off67. It can be inferred from the latest survey that___.A.hospital teaching across the country is similarB. each hospital has at least one part-time teacherC. all hospitals surveyed offer education to childrenD.only one-fourth of the hospitals have full-time teachers68. Children in hospital usual1y turn to___in order to catch up with the ir school work.A. hospital teachersB. schoolmatesC. parentsD. school teachers69. We can conclude from the passage that the author is___.A. unfavourable towards children receiving education inhospitalsB. in favour of the present state of teaching in hospitalsC. unsatisfied with the present state of hospital teachingD. satisfied with the results of the latest surveyTEXT BComputer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become “computer-l iterate”, in other words, to learn t o understand computers and what makes them t ick. Not all experts agree, however, that is a good idea.One pioneer, in particular. who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Compu tertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring peopl e closer to the computer, Daviddoes not see it that way. He says that Computert own UK was formedfor just the opposite reason, to bring computers to the people and make them “people-literate”.David first got the idea w hen he visited one of America’sbest-known computer “g uru” figure, Bob Albrecht，in the small university town of Palo Alto in Northern California. Albrecht had started a project called Computertown USA in the local library, andthe local children used to call round every Wednesday to borrow so me time on the computers there, instead of borrowing library books. Albrecht was always on hand to answer any questions and to help the children discover about computers in their own way.Over here, in Britain，Computertowns have taken off in a big way，and there are now about 40 scattered over the country. David Tebbutt thinks they are most succ essful when tied to a computer club. He insists there is a vast and important di fference between the two, although they complement each other. The clubs cater f or the enthusiasts, with some computer knowledge already, who get together arid eventually form an expert computer group. This frightens awaynon-experts, who a re happier going to Computertowns where there are computers available for them t o experiment on, with expertsavailable to encourage them and answer any questions; they are nottold what to do, they find out.David Tehbutt finds it interesting to see the two different approaches working s ide by side. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about compute rs, but have to be able to explain the answers to the questions that people real ly want to know. In some Computertowns there are question sessions, rather like radio phone-ins, where the experts listen to a lot of questions and thentry to work out some structure to answer them. People are not havingto learn computer jargons, but the experts are having to translate computer mysteries into easily understood terms; the computers are becoming “people-literate”.70. According to David Tebbutt, the purpose of Computertown UKis to___A. train people to understand how computers workB. make more computers available to peopleC. enable more people to fix computers themselvesD. help people find out more about computers71. We Learn from the passage that Computertown USA was a___.A.town B. project C. library D. school72. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. Computertowns in the UK have become popular.B. Computertowns and clubs cater for different people.C.&nb上一页[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] ... 下一页>>上一页[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] ... 下一页>>英语专业四级考试全真试卷及答案[上]sp; Computertowns are more successful than clubs.D. It’s better that computertowns and clubs work together.73. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computertowns?A. Experts give lectures and talks on computers.B. Experts are on hand to answer people’s questions.C. People are left to discover computers on their own.D. There are computers around for people to practise on.TEXT CThere must be few questions on which responsible opinion is so utterly divided a s on that of how much sleep we ought to have. There are some who think we can le ave the body to regulate these mattersfor itself. “The answer is easy,” says Dr . A. Burton. “With the right amount of sleep you should wake up fresh and alert five minutes before the alarm rings.” If he is right many people must be undersl eeping, including myself. But we must remember that some people havea greater i nertia than others.This is not meant rudely. They switch on slowly, and they a re reluctant to switch off. They are alert at bedtime and sleepy when it is time to get up, and this may have nothing to do with how fatigued their bodies are, or how much sleep they must take to lose their fatigue.Other people feel sure that the present trend is towards too little sleep. To qu ote one medical opinion, thousands of peopledrift through life suffering from the effects of too little sleep;the reason is not that they can’t sleep. Like a dvancing c olonists, we do seem to be grasping ever more of the land of sleep for our waking needs, pushing the boundary back and reaching, apparently, for a poi nt in our evolution where we will sleep no more. This in itself, of course, need not be a bad thing. What could be disastrous, however, is that we should press too quickly towards this goal, sacrificing sleep only to gain more time in which to jeopardize our civilization by actions and decisions made weak by fatigue. Then,to complete the picture, there are those who believe that most people are persuaded to sleep too much. Dr H. Roberts, writing in Every Manin Health, asse rts: “It may safely be stated that, just as the majority eat too much, so the ma jority sleep too much.” One can see the point of this also. It would be a pity t o retard our development by holding back those people who are gifted enough to w ork and play well with less than the average amount of sleep, if indeed it does them no harm. If one of the trends of evolution is that more of thelife span i s to be spent in gainful waking activity, then surely these people are in the va n of this advance.74. The author seems to indicate that___.A. there are many controversial issues like the right amount of sleepB. among many issues the right amount of sleep is the least controversialC. people are now moving towards solving many controversial issuesD. the right amount of sleep is a topic of much controversy among doctors75. The author disagrees with Dr. Burton because___.A. few people can wake up feeling fresh and alertB. some people still feel tired with enough sleepC. some people still feel sleepy with enough sleepD. some people go to bed very late at night76. In the last paragraph the author points out that___.A. sleeping less is good for human developmentB. people ought to be persuaded to sleep less than beforeC. it is incorrect to say that people sleep too littleD. those who can sleep less should be encouraged77. We learn from the passage that the author___.A. comments on three different opinionsB. favours one of the three opinionsC. explains an opinion of his ownD. revises someone else’s opinionTEXT DMigration is usually defined as “permanent or semipermanent change of residence. ” This broad definition, of course, would include a move across the street or ac ross a city. Our concern is with movement between nations, not with internal mig ration within nations, although such movements often exceed international moveme nts in volume. Today, the motives of people who move short distances are very si milar to those of international migrants.Students of human migration speak of “push” and “pull” factors, which influence an individual’s de上一页[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] ... 下一页>>上一页[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] ... 下一页>>英语专业四级考试全真试卷及答案[上]cision to move from one place to another. Push factors are ass ociated with the place of origin. A push factor can be as simple and mild a matt er as difficulty in finding a suitable job. or as traumatic as war, or severe fa mine. Obviously, refugees who leave their homes with guns pointed at their heads are motivated almost entirely by push factors (although pull factors do influen ce their choice of destination).Pull factors are those associated with the place of destination. Most often thes e are economic，such as better job opportunities or the availability of good lan d to farm. The latter was an important factor in attracting settlers to the Unit ed States during the 19th century. In general, pull factors add up to an apparen tly better chance for a good life and material well-beingthan is offered by the place of origin. When there is a choice between several attractive potential de stinations, the decidingfactor might be a non-economic consideration such as th e presence of relatives, friends, or at least fellow countrymen already established in the new place who are willing to help the newcomers settle in. Considerat ions of this sort cad to the development of migrationflow.Besides push and pull actors, there are what the sociologists call “intervening obstacles” Even if push and(or) pull factors are very strong they still may be ou tweighed by intervening obstacles, such as the distance of the move, the trouble and cost of moving, the difficulty of entering the new country, and the problem s likelyto be encountered on arrival. The decision to move is also influenced by “personal factors” of the potential m igrant. The same push-pull factors and obstacles operate differently on different people, sometimes because they are at different stages of their lives, or just because of their varying abilities and personalities. The prospect of packing u p everything and moving to a new andperhaps very strange environment may appear interesting and challenging to an unmarried young man and appallingly difficult to a slightly older man with a wife and small kids. Similarly, the need to lear n a new language and customs may excite one person and frighten another. Regardless of why people move, migration of large numbersof people causes confl ict. The United States and other western countries have experienced adjustment p roblems with each new wave of immigrants. The newest arrivals are usually given the lowest-paidjobs and are resented by native people who may have to compete w ith them for those jobs. It has usually taken several decades for each group to be accepted into the mainstream of society in the host country.。

The studies have been compiled by one of the wprld’s leading research bodies monitoring climate change, the Hadley Centre in Britain. This latest prediction from the Hadley Centre brings the prospect of devastating change much closer. He challenges the assumption that severe warming is a threat only for future generations. A four degree average temperature rise by the 2050s would bring increases of 10 degrees or more in some areas such as the Arctic and Africa. It could mean a sharp decline in rainfall in some areas, flooding in others and extinction of about half of all the world’s animal and plant species.1．According to the Hadley Centre, what is going to happen by the 2050s?A．The climate would be little different.B．The temperature would increase dramatically.C．Most of world’s animal and plant species will die.D．The temperature would be a sharp decline.正确答案：B解析：细节题。

Today, I would like to talk about the magic power of believing that you can improve. I would begin with a story in Chicago. I heard about a high school in Chicago where students had to pass a certain number of courses to graduate, and if they didn’t pass a course, they got the grade “Not Yet”. I thought that was fantastic, because if you get the grade “Failing”, you think, I’m nothing, I’m nowhere. But if you get the grade “Not Yet”, you understand that you’re on a learning curve. It gives you a path into the future. “Not Yet”also gave me insight into my early study which was a real turning point in my career. I wanted to see how children coped with challenge and difficulty, so I gave 10-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. Some of them reacted in a positive way. They said things like, “I love the challenge.”They understood that their abilities could be developed. They had what I call a growth mindset. But other students felt it was tragic. From their more fixed mindset perspective, their intelligence had been up for judgment, and they failed. I’ll tell you what they do next. In one study, they told us they would probably cheat next time if they failed a test. In another study, after a failure, they looked for someone who did worse than they did so they could feel really good about themselves. And in study after study, they have run from difficulty. So what can we do? Here are some things we can do. First of all, we can praise wisely. Do not praise intelligence or talent. But praise the process that kids engage in, their effort, their strategies, their focus, their perseverance, their improvement. This process praise creates kids who are hardy and resilient. Secondly, we can find other ways to reward “yet”. We recently created a new online math game that rewarded “yet”. In this game, students were rewarded for effort, strategy and progress. The usual math game rewards you for getting answers right, right now, but this game rewarded process. And we got more effort, more strategies, more engagement over longer periods of time, and more perseverance when they hit really, really hard problems. Thirdly, just give the comments “yet”or “not yet”. We find these words give kids greater confidence, give them a path into the future that creates greater persistence. And we can actually change students’mindsets. In one study, we taught them that every time they push out of their comfort zone to learn something new and difficult, the neurons in their brain can form new, stronger connections, and over time, they can get smarter. These are very significant. If we can change students’ mindsets with these, we can then achieve equality. In our country, there are groups of students who chronically underperform, for example,children in inner cities. And they’ve done so poorly for so long that many people think it’s inevitable. But when educators create growth mindset classrooms steeped in “yet”, equality happens. This happened because the meaning of effort and difficulty were transformed. Before, effort and difficulty made them feel dumb, made them feel like giving up, but now, effort and difficulty, that’s when their neurons are making new connections. That’s when they’re getting smarter. To sum up, when you are faced with difficulty, you should think you have just not solved it yet and believe that you can improve. If you believe, then you are capable of great growth. Next time, I would like to talk about my further study about the growth mindset.The Power of Believing that You Can Improve Introduction - The story in Chicago —If students didn’t 【T1】______, they got the grade “Not Yet”instead of 【T1】______ “Failing”.

M: Good morning, Mrs. Smith. Be seated, please. W: Thank you. Mr. Brown, I’d like to talk with you about something that is getting to be a problem. M: What is it, Mrs. Smith? W: It’s about the quality of 300 cartons of dried mushrooms. They reached us two weeks ago, and were immediately examined after they arrived. To our astonishment, about 20% of them were moldy and in many cartons there were even small brown bugs crawling in and out of the half-eaten mushrooms. We can’t accept them in this state. M: Is that so? So far we haven’t had any complaint of this kind. Our mushrooms have enjoyed a good reputation for years. Have you any evidence? W: Certainly. Here’s a survey report by a well-known lab in London. M: Though everything may be as you say, there are many factors involved. What’s more, your surveyors have not mentioned any cause for the damage. W: It is stated on the surveyor’s report that external conditions of goods at the time of survey are all sound and intact. So it is obvious the cause of the damage is that the mushrooms were not completely dried before packaging. M: As you know, before shipment, the Commodity Inspection Bureau inspected the mushrooms. They concluded that the goods were welldehydrated and choice material was up to standard for export. W: I think they only selected a few packages. The 20% in question, most probably, escaped their attention.I think it is only reasonable that you should compensate us for the loss. M: But we both agreed on a random selection of 20% of the consignment beforehand. We do not accept any claims for compensation for loss incurred in transit. You know, the goods were bought on FOB basis. In my opinion, your claim should be referred to the insurance company for compensation. W: Actually, we’ve already got in touch with the underwriter. But they refused. They attributed the accident to the effects of dampness during the long sea voyage. M: Then I’m afraid I have to insist that you approach the insurance company for settlement, that is, if you have covered this risk in your coverage. W: To my regret, we failed to cover contamination. This is an unfortunate oversight on our part. M: Oh, I feel sorry for you. W: Well. It seems we’ll have to waive the claim. M: Okay. I hope everything will be smooth in our future business. W: I hope so. Er…Goodbye, Mr. Brown. M: Goodbye, Mrs. Smith. Questions 1 to 5 are based on Conversation One. 1. Where is possibly the conversation held? 2.

If you live in a place where home prices have gone up 30 percent in the last couple of years, you probably want to make sure that you are at least gonna live in this home for a long enough period of time. Then you don’t have to worry if prices come down a little bit. M: The next one is kind of interesting. “Are you better off renting?”And I always thought, you are always better off buying, but not true? W: Not necessarily. You have to remember there is a cost to the transaction there you gotta pay the broker. There’s a cost for moving service. If you are not gonna be in this home at least 3 to 5 years, you may wanna look at renting at this period of time. M: How much can you afford as a female house buyer? W: It’s not just a question of the mortgage, the interest, the taxes and the insurance. That would be your big nut for a new home. But you’ve gotta remember that you are likely to need a percentage of the value of the home for maintenance each year. M: You say it’s important to find whether your FICO score is good enough. What’s a FICO score? W: Your FICO score is your credit score, and basically it’s an indication of how much of a risk you will be to the bank. If you’ve got a great FICO score, you’re gonna be able to log in a mortgage under 6 percent over 30 years. If it’s not so good, it’s gonna cost you 4 percent more, and that’s significant money. M: And then there are a lot of mortgages out there, different kinds of mortgages. You have to ask which one is best for you. W: Right, you need a suitable mortgage. You can get yourself a planned 30-year mortgage or 15-year mortgage or other kinds. M: All right. Jean Chatzky,good to see you. W: Thank you. Questions 6 to 10 are based on Conversation Two. 6.

TranslationPart I Writing (30 minutes)1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled What 3G Brings to the Campus. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below. 1．3G网络的建设和使用让手机又有了新的功能2．3G手机是否会快速进入校园3．面对日益更新的手机技术，在校生应该采取什么样的态度What 3G Brings to the Campus正确答案：What 3G Brings to the Campus With the employment of 3G networks by the telecommunication service providers, the functions of mobile phones are greatly enriched. Besides phone calls and messages, video calls, broadband Internet service and TV programs are also what 3G networks can offer. As the advocates of almost all the new inventions and technology, college students will surely welcome the coming of 3G networks. Putting the price of the phones and the monthly service fees aside, they will love the idea of holding a 3G phone in hand. In my opinion, I really suggest they have a second thought. As students, we don’t have so many contacts to contact with and so much time to surf on the Internet. Watching TV is also a luxurious hobby since our time is so valuable. Science and technology will keep up the high speed of development and there’s no way that we can always be at the front. It will be very wise for us not to be always in fashion, but to choose what we do need.解析：①审题及布局。
