US-DPRK( Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) relations have become a factor that affects the stability in Asia, with the talks on DPRK’s nuclear programme issue travelling along a bumpy road. Revolving around the nuclear issue, disputes between the United States and the Republic of Korea crop up frequently, estranging the two allies. Sins-US relations are getting increasingly complex and different schools of thought inside the United States clash with each other over how to deal with a fast “rising China”. The China policy, to a certain extent, has evolved into a bottleneck for the United States’Asia policy. The Taiwan question becomes ever pressing in the post-Cold-War period, but the United States has so far failed to come up with an effective way to address the situation. In Southeast Asia and South Asia, the US anti-terror campaigns have achieved little, and instead served to distance the United States from the Muslim masses in the region. Thousands upon thousands of US troops are stuck in the quagmire of Iraq. There seems no light at the end of the tunnel on theissue of Iran’s nuclear undertakings. In the face of all this, US Asia experts have voiced their dissatisfaction over US Asia policy. They generally come to the conclusion that the US Asia policy lags behind the developments and that the definition of the US role in Asia is disorientated. The conclusion is drawn against the background of Asia’s fast changing political, economic and security situations. Strong bias has always blurred the US analysis of international politics, often leading to misjudgement and miscalculation. Confrontation, for example, dominated Sino-US relations for 22 years after 1949, when the People’s Republic of China was founded. This is because US policy-makers understood the event as an outcome of the Soviet Union’s exporting of revolution, thinking China would go along steadily with the “Big Brother” concept for decades to come. The United States paid dearly for the confrontation. The US involvement in Viet Nam offers another example. Ho Chih Minh’s drive for national unification was misread as the expansion of communism in Southeast Asia. Large numbers of American troops were committed to “contain”the “expansion.”Again, the United States paid dearly. The United States, it seems to me, is now misreading China’s fast development. China’s high-speed economic growth is bringing wealth and prosperity to one-fifth of the world’s population. But some American political elite think the rise of China poses a threat and challenge to the US supremacy. They are haunted by how to come up with the best way to deal with China’s rise, and hence the hesitation between engagement and containment. This, in turn, helps explain the volatility of US-China relations. Apart from its misjudgement of the outside world, the wrong definition of its role in Asia is also responsible for policy errors. Desire for hegemony has dominated US Asia policy since World War II. Seeking supremacy is at the core of policy-making considerations. During the Cold War period, Washington claimed “containment of communism,”but they were actually in pursuit of US hegemony. Driven by these hegemonic impulses, the United States got involved first in the Korean War and then the Viet Nam War, taking upon itself commitments that far outstripped its strength. After the failure of Viet Nam, the United States had to reshape its Asia policy, seeking strategic balance instead of supremacy. The change of role helped free it from a predicament. When the Cold War ended in the early 1990s, the United States faced the test again in terms of defining its role in Asia. The Clinton administration wanted to use US values, US models of development and security concepts, the so-called “soft power”, to shape regional politics, economics and security. It can be interpreted as applying new tools to play a leading role in Asia. After President George W. Bush assumed power, the United States’role was defined as a unilateral leader, which was intended to guard against any rising powers. The advent of the September 11 terrorist attacks changed the priorities of the US strategic agenda, but not the Bush administration’s yearning for US supremacy. All this helps bring about the situation that the United States’ Asia policy is increasingly distanced from the fast changing reality in Asia. The United States’ constructive role in Asian affairs would be in the interest of Asian countries as well as in its own. Correct US assessment of the reality in Asia is thus called for. First, it should be understood that Asian countries’co-operation in political and security affairs among themselves is being strengthened. They axe increasingly reluctant to be told what to do by outsiders. This kind of co-operation will help alter the political and economic landscapes of Asia and will also have a great impact on US-Asian relations. The economic co-operation among the 10+3(10 countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations plus China, Japan and the Republic of Korea) framework and the planned East Asia Summit are but just two examples in Asian countries’ intention of forming, a single community. Second, China’s development will not follow the old path of the newly emerging power replacing the old one, and will, therefore, not bring about the situation in which a hysteric arms race is set in motion because the parties involved fear to be left in a weaker position. Using the old-fashioned containment mentality to handle China-and Asia-related affairs is bound to end in tears. Third, Asian countries are becoming increasingly interdependent, whether in terms of economic co-operation or anti-terror campaigns. On the other hand, the United States is getting more and more dependent on other countries in many ways. This requires it to adapt to the fast changing situation in Asia. Fourth, the United States is powerful but not omnipotent. It won a war in Iraq but did not win peace. The United States cannot settle all the questions in Asia, let alone if it tries to do it all in its own way.2．The dispute on DPRK’s nuclear programme issue gives a negative influence on US-DPRK relations.A．YB．NC．NG正确答案：A解析：文章第二段指出围绕朝鲜核问题的谈判疏远了两国的关系，显然本题的论断说得也是这个意思。

洛基英语，中国在线英语教育领导品牌答案及详解Part ⅠWritingOn Chinese Workers'Paid HolidaysIn 2007, the Chinese government released a draft that all employees of government organs, civil organizations, enterprises, and public-service institutions are entitled to take paid vacation after serving the same employer for one year. Some have sufficient faith that the paid holidays will improve the current tourism pattern. The new holiday scheme will give people more choices to make their holiday plans and thus it will greatly alleviate the pressure of transportation departments, security bodies, shopping malls,ect. during the current holiday boom.Other people wonder if the new system will be available. It is likely to be a dream to have a paid holiday. Because the problem is that many people don't dare to take long vacations. Competition is fierce. Nobody can afford a long holiday and leave the boss with an impression of not working as hard as others.For me, I think it is necessary for, in future, the state to issue a regulation concerning Chinese workers-paid holidays. Stregthen the employers' sense of the paid holidays. If they did so voluntarily, it will attract and retain employees. With these measures, it is expected that more employees in China are entitled to receive holiday pay for time off.Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1. Y 细节题根据信号词"BMI, 85%"寻读到第二段第一句。

The Silk Road concept refers to both the terrestrial and the maritime routes connecting Asia with Africa, the Middle East and southern Europe. The Silk Road played a significant role in the civilization development of China. It was through the Silk Road that Chinese silk, tea and porcelain spread all over the world. On 22 June, 2014, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) named the Silk Road a World Heritage Site at the 38th Conference on World Heritage.【听力原文】Section AN e w s R e p o r t O n eThe number of suspected cases of cholera resulting from an epidemic in war-torn Yemen has reached 500,000, the World Health Organization (WHO) says.At least 1,975 people have died since the waterborne disease began to spread rapidly at the end of April. The WHO said the overall caseload had declined since July, but that 5,000 people a day were still being infected. The disease spread due to deteriorating hygiene and sanitation conditions and disruptions to the water supply.More than 14 million people are cut off from regular access to clean water and sanitation in Yemen, and waste collection has ceased in major cities.Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal infection caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio cholera. Most of those infected will have no or mild symptoms but, in severe cases, the disease can kill within hours if left untreated. More than a quarter of those who have died and 41% of those who have been infected have been children, according to the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs.heard.Q1.

In recent years, butterflies that were once only found in southern Britain have crossed the border in Scotland, including the comma and the small and Essex skippers. Within Scotland, species such as the ringlet, orange tip and peacock have moved rapidly north and into the Highlands.heard.Q3. When was white-letter hairstreak seen in Scotland for the first time?Q4.

The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) began investigating Uber following allegations about the God View program in the media in 2014. After the investigation started, Uber developed an automated system for monitoring employee access to customer and driver personal data.However, the FTC said the company had stopped using it eight months after it had been put in place. “Uber failed consumers in twokey ways: first by misrepresenting the extent to which it monitored its employees’ access to personal information about users and drivers, and second by misrepresenting that it took reasonable steps to secure that data,” said FTC acting chairman Maureen Ohlhausen, who presided over the settlement.Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.Q5.

Six 4-H girls worked to clean the 72 foot curbside that was covered with weeds, rocks and trash.Each member volunteered to clean up and to dig in plot, five flats of flowers. They also took turns in watering, weeding and maintaining the plot.Participation in this project helped the girls develop a new attitude towards their parents of their own homes; they’ve learned how to work with tools, and improve their work habits. One mother said that before her daughter was involved in this project, she would not even pull the weed. The experience on Main Street stimulated self-improvement, and encouraged members to take pride in their home grounds and the total community.City officials cooperated with the 4-H members in planting trees, building cooking facilities, picnic tables, swings and public restrooms. The 4-H girls planted trees and took care of them during the early stages of growth. The total park project needed more plantings in the following years. Members of the 4-H club agreed to follow the project through to completion, because they receive satisfaction from the results of constructive work.The project is a growing one and is spread from the park to the school and the shopping center. Trees and flowers have all been planted in the shopping center, making the atmosphere pleasant.Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q16. What do we learn about Main Street in Farmington?Q17. What do the 4-H club members do about the curbside?Q18. What have the 4-H girls learned from the project?Q19. Why do the 4-H girls agree to follow the park project through to completion?P a s s a g e T w oAccording to a survey on reading conducted in 2001 by the U.S. National Education Association (NEA), young Americans say reading is important, more important than computers and science.Over 50% of the 12 to 18 years old interviewed say they enjoy reading a lot. 79% find it stimulating and interesting. And 87% think it is relaxing. About 68% of those surveyed disagreed with the opinion that reading is boring or old-fashioned.Over half teenagers interviewed said they read more than ten books a year. The results also show that middle school students read more books than high schoolers. Over 66% of teens like to read fiction, such as novels and stories. Over 26% are interested in non-fiction, such as history books. 64% of students listed reading stories about people my own age. That’s a favorite topic. Mysteries and detective stories came second on the list at 53%. Just under 50% said they were interested in reading about their own culture in tradition.Of the teenagers who participated in the survey, 49% said thatlibraries are where they get most of their books. However, many complain that their school libraries do not have enough up-to-date interesting books and magazines.Even though many teenagers in the US enjoy reading, they still have other interests. When asked which activity would be the most difficult to give up for a week, 48% said listening to music. TV would be difficult to give up for 25% of those surveyed.Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q20. What does the survey on teenager reading show?Q21. What books are most popular among teenagers according to the survey?Q22. What activity do teenagers find the most difficult to give up for a week?P a s s a g e T h r e eThank you for coming, everyone. Today’s presentation will show how we see the development of the motor car in the short to medium term, and that is why we have invited all of you here today.Le t’s start with power. It’s clear that petrol-driven engines have no future. Already there are many alternative fuel vehicles on the market, powered by anything from solar power to natural gas. Some independent thinkers have even produced cars that run on vegetableoil. But as we all know, of all these alternative fuel vehicles, the most practical are electric vehicles. Sure, in the past electric vehicles have their problems, namely, a limited driving range, and very few recharging points, which limited their use. Now, however, recent developments in electric vehicle technology mean they can match conventional petrol engines in terms of performance and safety. Let’s not forget that electric vehicles are cleaner. Plus, importantly, the power source is rechargeable, so this does not involve using any valuable resources.Moving on to communications, very soon, cars will be linked to GPS satellites, so they’ll do all the driving for you. What controls remain for the users will be audio-based, so, for example, you’ll just have to say “a bit warmer”, and the air conditioning will adjust automatically. You’ll also be able to receive email, music and movies, all via an internet link. So just type in the destination you want, sit back, sleep, and watch your movie, whatever.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q23. What is the presentation mainly about?Q24. What used to restrict the use of electric vehicles?Q25. What does the speaker say about electric vehicles of today?。

大学英语四级试卷模拟五试卷答案对照版(二)
大学英语四级试卷模拟五试卷答案对照版（二）After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report; The damage and death toll (死亡人数) could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims:Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city's highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city's buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren't resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图的) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake's vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.31. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that _______?A) new computers had been installed in the buildingsB) it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC) large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD) improvements had been made in the construction ofbuildings and highways32. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to _______.A) counterbalance an earthquake's action on the buildingB) predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC) help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD) measure the impact of an earthquake's vibrations33. The smart buildings discussed in the passage _______.A) would cause serious financial problemsB) would be worthwhile though costlyC) would increase the complexity of architectural designD) can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes34. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on _______.A) the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB) the development of flexible building materialsC) the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD) early forecasts of earthquakes35. The author's main purpose in writing the passage is to _______.A) compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U. S.B) encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computers.C) outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materials.D) report new developments in constructing quake resistant building.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Even plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away straight up.A decade ago, adapting the infrared (红外线) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones areunder stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (杀虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don't have pest (害虫) problems.Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running "fevers". Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. "This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States," says George Oerther of Texas A M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture. He thinks remote infrared cropscanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.36. Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are _______.A) sprayed with pesticidesB) facing an infrared scannerC) in poor physical conditionD) exposed to excessive sun rays37. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to _______.A) estimate the damage to the cropsB) measure the size of the affected areaC) draw a color-coded mapD) locate the problem area38. Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by _______.A) resorting to spot-sprayingB) consulting infrared scanning expertsC) transforming poisoned rainD) detecting crop problems at an early stage39. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties -- _______.A) the lack of official supportB) its high costC) the lack of financial backingD) its failure to help increase production40. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of _______.A) the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce.B) growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on cropsC) the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureD) full support from agricultural expertsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

大学英语四级试卷模拟五试卷答案对照版(二)
大学英语四级试卷模拟五试卷答案对照版（二）Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report; The damageand death toll (死亡人数) could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in1988 claimed 25,000 victims:Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city's highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angelesduring the last 20 years have strengthened the city's buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren't resting ontheir successes. Pinned to their drawing boards areblueprints (蓝图的) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security tocities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake resistant meant firmyet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a buildingoff its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake's vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force thebuilding to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be lesslikely to be damaged during earthquakes.31. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that _______?A) new computers had been installed in the buildingsB) it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC) large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD) improvements had been made in the construction ofbuildings and highways32. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to _______.A) counterbalance an earthquake's action on the buildingB) predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC) help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD) measure the impact of an earthquake's vibrations33. The smart buildings discussed in the passage _______.A) would cause serious financial problemsB) would be worthwhile though costlyC) would increase the complexity of architectural designD) can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes34. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on _______.A) the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB) the development of flexible building materialsC) the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD) early forecasts of earthquakes35. The author's main purpose in writing the passage is to_______.A) compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U. S.B) encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computers.C) outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materials.D) report new developments in constructing quake resistant building.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. Even plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away straight up. A decade ago, adapting the infrared (红外线) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmersprecisely target pesticide (杀虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don't have pest (害虫) problems.Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, aninfrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running "fevers". Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, andrefinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. "This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States," says George Oerther of Texas A&M. Ray Jackson, who recently retiredfrom the Department of Agriculture. He thinks remoteinfrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.36. Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are _______.A) sprayed with pesticidesB) facing an infrared scannerC) in poor physical conditionD) exposed to excessive sun rays37. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to _______.A) estimate the damage to the cropsB) measure the size of the affected areaC) draw a color-coded mapD) locate the problem area38. Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by _______.A) resorting to spot-sprayingB) consulting infrared scanning expertsC) transforming poisoned rainD) detecting crop problems at an early stage39. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties -- _______.A) the lack of official supportB) its high costC) the lack of financial backingD) its failure to help increase production40. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of _______.A) the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce.B) growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on cropsC) the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureD) full support from agricultural expertsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendshiop and understanding,and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoy sport.One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games,however,has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied.Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athlets should not be excluded.1.The first games for the desabled were held _____ after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.A.40 yearsB.21 yearsC.10 yearsD.9 years2.Besides Stoke Mandeville,surely the games for the disabled were once held in _____.A.New YorkB.LondonC.RomeD.Los Angeles3.In Paragraph 3,the word "athletes" means _____.A.people who support the gamesB.people who watch the gamesC.people who organize the gamesD.people who compete in the games4.Which of the following statements in NOT true?A.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an early organizer of the games for the disabled.B.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an injured soldier.C.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is from Germany.D.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is welcomed by the British government.5.From the ,we may conclude that the writer is _____.A.one of the organizers of the games for the disabledB.a disabled person who once took part in the gamesC.against holding the games for the disabledD.in favour of holding the games for the disabled四、书面表达：请起草一份中学学校通知，用一段话说明以下要点：参观日期： 3月25日，星期天时间：早上8点钟出发。

But fortunately, 20) .Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.The fridge is considered a necessity. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food first appeared with the label: "store in the refrigerator."In my fridge less fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily. The milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher (肉商), the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus (剩余) bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. A variety of well-tried techniques already existed -- natural cooling, drying, smoking salting, sugaring, bottling...What refrigeration did promote was marketing -- marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a good price.Consequently, most of the world's fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificiallyheated house-while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.The fridge's effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant, If you don't believe me, try it yourself, invest in a food cabinet and turn off your fridge next winter. You may miss the hamburgers (汉堡包), but at least you'll get rid of that terrible hum.21. The statement "In my fridge lees fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily."?(Line 1, Para. 2) suggests that _______.A) the author was well-fed and healthy even without a fridge in his fiftiesB) the author was not accustomed to use fridges even in his fiftiesC) there was no fridge in the author's home in the 1950sD) the fridge was in its early stage of development in the 1950s22. Why does the author say that nothing was wasted before the invention of fridges?A) People would not buy more food than was necessary.B) Food was delivered to people two or three times a week.C) Food was sold fresh and did not get rotten easily.D) People had effective ways to preserve their food.23. Who benefited the least from fridges according to the author?A) Inventors.B) Consumers.C) Manufacturers.D) Traveling salesmen.24. Which of the following phrases in the fifth paragraph indicates the fridge's negative effect on the environment?A) "Hum away continuously"B) "Climatically almost unnecessary"C) "Artificially cooled space"D) "With mild temperatures"25. What is the author's overall attitude toward fridges?A) NeutralB) CriticalC) ObjectiveD) CompromisingQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with humanlike ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software (软件) or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise first to rival and then exceed their human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon's long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to withstand environments, harmful to ourselves. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.26. In what way can we make a machine intelligent?A) By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space.B) By working hard for 10 or 20 years.C) By either properly programming it or changing its structure.D) By reproducing it.27. What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability?A) He believes they will be useful to human beings.B) He believes that they will control us in the future.C) He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us.D) He doesn't consider the construction of such machines possible.28. The word carbon (Line 4, para. 2) stands for "_______"A) intelligent robotsB) a chemical elementC) an organic substanceD) human beings29. A robot can be used to expand our frontiers when _______.A) its intelligence and cost are beyond questionB) it is able to bear the rough environmentC) it is made as complex as the human brainD) its architecture is different from that of the present ones30. It can be inferred from the passage that _______A) after the installation of a great number of cells and connections, robots will be capable of self reproduction.B) with the rapid development of technology, people have come to realize the possibility of making a machine withhuman-like ability.C) once we make a machine as complex as the human brain, it will possess intelligence.D) robots will have control of the vast, man-made world in space.大学英语四级试卷模拟五试卷答案对照版（一）相关内容:。

Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer sheet 1.Bears in the WoodsDespite the troubled markets, the world economy is still relatively strong. Just don't bet your house on it. The woods and the marketIf you meet a bear in the woods, try not to panic or scream; on no account should you turn your back and run. As markets around the world have turned grizzly over the past two weeks, some investors seem to have forgotten the old hikers' maxim. After three years of big gains, many stockmarkets have dropped by 10% or more in less than ten days. The loudest complaints have echoed around emerging markets and commodities. Europe has surrendered most of this year's gains. Americans have so far escaped lightly, but they would be unwise to take comfort. Their housing market, the recent rock of their economy, is where a much grizzlier creature lies in wait.Most investors tend to look first at equity marketsand they have certainly had a good run virtually everywhere. Yet a repeat of the slump after the bursting of the dotcom bubble in 2001—4)2 remains highly unlikely. In 2000 shares were wildly overvalued. Today price/eamings ratios in most stockmarkets are near, if not below, their long-term averages. This suggests that the slide in shares could be short-lived.Inflation or interest rates?So what has caused this burst of volatility? One popular explanation points to the fears of rising inflation and hence higher interest rates. Yet this sits oddly with the decrease in bond yields and the gold price over the past week: if inflation were the reason, you would expect both to have risen. The real puzzle is not why volatility has suddenly increased, but why it had been so low in the past year or so. The answer seems to be an abundance of cheap money, which attracted investors into satisfaction. Now they are starting to demand higher returns on riskier assets. Emerging-market equities, not (generally safer) bonds, suffered the biggest loss in the past week. It could be a healthy correction, though.What helped us to achieve growth with low inflation?Indeed, the recent sensitivity need not harm the world economy, which even bears admit has performed greatly. World GDP has grown at an annual rate of more than 4% for 11 consecutive quarters. This is the strongest upturn for more than 30 years. Yet global inflation remains historically low. Strong growth with mild inflation is all the more amazing given the tripling of oil prices since 2003. Past off-price shocks have caused stagflation.The world has so far shrugged off higher oil prices with the help of two powerful economic forces. The first is the opening up and integration into the world economy of China, India and other emerging economies, This has given the biggest boost to global supply since the industrial revolution.That, in mm, has magnified the second stimulus. Since the bursting of the dotcom bubble, central banks have pumped out cheap money. In 2003 average short-term interest rates in the G7 economies fell to their lowest in recorded history. Because inflation remained low, the central banks have been slow to mop up the excess liquidity. Cheap money has encouraged households, especially American ones, to borrow and spend lavishly. It is not just house prices that have surged ahead; cheap money has encouraged investors across the world to take bigger risks, creating several smaller bubbles. Together the huge boost to supply (from emerging economies) and the huge boost to demand (from easy money) have offset the burden of higher oil prices, creating the once-impossible combination of robust growth and modest inflation.Don*t panicThe era of cheap money is nearing an end. For the first time in 15 years, the three big central banks are now all tightening monetary policy. The European Central Bank has already followed the Federal Reserve's lead in raising interestrates. Only now are the markets realising that interest rates may rise by more than they had expected. In the long term, rates should be roughly equal to nominal GDP growth, but in America and elsewhere they are still well below it. Optimists argue that America's economy is coping well with rising interest rates, but it isn't really aware of tight money yet. Without easy credit, dear oil will cause more pain.Until recently, financial markets appeared to be betting that the Goldilocks economy一neither too hot, nor too cold 一was safe from the bears. The troubled markets are a reminder that sooner or later growth will slow or inflation will rise. Inflation is not about to spiral upwards but with diminishing spare capacity, it could gradually rise. America has an extra risk because Wall Street suspects that Ben Bernanke, the Fed's new chairman, may be a soft touch on inflation. If that suspicion persists, he will need to raise interest rates by more than otherwise一or investors will do the tightening for him by pushing up bond yields. That would make other assets look expensive.It is in the American housing market that the bear may growl loudest. By borrowing against the surging prices of their homes, American consumers have been able to keep on spending. The housing market is already coming off the boil. If prices merely flatten, the economy could slow sharply as consumer spending and construction are squeezed. If house prices fall as a result of higher bond yields, the American economy could even dip into recession. Less spending and more saving is just what America needs to reduce its current-account deficit, but for American households used to years of plenty it will hurt.The confidenceFor the world, it is best that America slows today. Later, imbalances will loom even larger. A few years ago, Japan and the euro-area economies were flat on their backs. Now they are growing "above trend", so the world depends less on America than it once did. The boost to the world economy from China and India will last into the future, even allowing for mishaps. Wise investors should resist the urge to flee, reduce their holdings of risky assets and stare down the bear.1.As it is true that people should not turn their back and run when coming across a bear in woods, they should remember not to divert their money away from the market when possible problems occur.2.Despite a recent drop of about 10% in many stock markets, the world economy is still experiencing gains.3.During the recent economic down turn, South American countries have almost lost all their gains in the previous years of robust development.4.The author does not believe inflation causes the slow-down because it is believed that the interest rates should have risen if it is so.5.According to the passage, recent troubles do not harm the world economy because some statistics show that the world economy is performing well.6.The author thought it was strange to see strong growth with mild inflation because the oil price, which was a reason causing stagflation, tripled in 2003.7.American families are encouraged by cheap money to borrow and spend lavishly.8.The world has so far shrugged off higher oil prices with the help the opening up and integration into the world economy of China, India and.9.For the first time in 15 years, the three big central banks are now all.10.and more saving is just what America needs to reduce its current-account deficit.Part IH Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said.

Millions of children and adults are exposed over a lifetime to consistent negative and stereotypical portrayals of certain populations in our diverse society. Such portrayals lead to prejudice, which in turn leads to discrimination and unnecessary conflict, adversely affecting the entire nation. Millions of politicians, government officials, parents, teachers and others in positions of authority are consistently portrayed as fools and bumbling idiots in Hollywood movies (the Hollywood antiauthority themes). Millions of Arabs and Arab-Americans, African-Americans, Latinos, Women, Gays/ Lesbians, German-Americans, Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, Asian-Americans, Native Americans, Southerners and others have been victimized by Hollywood prejudice expressed through the consistent negative and stereotypical portrayals of these populations. Millions of Christians and Muslims are also regularly portrayed in a negative and stereotypical manner in Hollywood films.Thousands of large and small investors foolishly believe that they will be treated fairly by Hollywood deal makers and accounting practices. Hundreds of small independent producers cannot get their movies into decent theaters because they are squeezed out of the marketplace by the releases of the major studio/ distributors, whose movies are not always of better quality, but who use anti-competitive business practices to gain leverage over the exhibitors.Moviegoers of all types who are regularly misled into thinking certain movies are worth seeing and are wrongfully separated from their money by massive and misleading Hollywood advertising.Many members of the many racial, religious, ethnic, cultural groups and regional groups in America cannot make their important cultural stories onto the screen because of the prejudice held by those who control the industry.57.What is the main idea of this passage?[A] Remark on a book. [B] Many examples to disprove a point made by a book.[C] Ways to solve problems in Hollywood. [D] Film-making and audience response.58.According to the passage, where does the prejudice among children and adults come from?[A] Denial of access to movies. [B] Discrimination in selecting actors of films.[C]Stereotypical portrayal of certain groups of population in the movies.[D]Only rich people are allowed to produce films.59.What do major distributors do to push small independent producers out of market?[A] Persuasion. [B] Government relationships. [C] Anti-competitive business practices. [D] Adequate finance.60.Why are politicians, government officials and parents are consistently portrayed as fools in Hollywood movies?[A] To demonstrate their anti-authority themes. [B] To show the reality.[C] To make people laugh. [D] To help people build their confidence.61.What is the organization of this passage?[A] A summary with supporting details. [B] An explanation with specific reference.[C] A point of view with detailed evidence. [D] A proposition with sound reasoning.Passage TwoThe next time you attend a social function or go to a place where people meet and interact, take note of the number of people who have adopted the identical gestures and posture of the person with whom they are talking. This "carbon copying" is a means by which one person tells the other that he is in agreement with his ideas and attitudes. By this method, one is non-verbally saying to the other, "As you can see, I think the same as you, so I will copy your posture and gesture."This unconscious mimicry is quite interesting to observe. Take for example, the two men standing at the hotel bar. They have mirrored each other's gestures and it is reasonable to assume that they are discussing a topic upon which they have the same thoughts and feelings. If one man uncrosses his arms and legs or stands on the other foot, the other will follow, If one puts his hand in his pocket, the other will copy and this mimicry will continue for as long as the two men are in agreement.This copying also occurs among good friends or people at the same status level and it is common to see married couples walk, stand, sit and move in identical ways. People who are strangers, however, studiously avoid holding mutual positions.The significance of carbon copying can be one of the most important non-verbal lessons we can learn, for this is one way that others tell us that they agree with us or like us. It is also a way for us to tell others that we like them, by simply copying their gestures.If an employer wishes to develop an immediate rapport and create a relaxing atmosphere with an employee, he needs to copy the employee's posture to achieve the end. Similarly, an up-and-coming employee may be seen copying his boss* gestures in an attempt to show agreement. Using the knowledge, it is possible to influence a face-to-face encounter by copying the positive gestures and postures of the other person. This has the effect of putting the other person in a receptive and relaxed frame of mind and he can "see" that you understand his point of view.62.What is an appropriate title for this passage?[A] Appropriate Social Behavior. [B] How to Make Gestures.[C] Carbon Copying: Showing Agreement Through Gestures. [D] How to Avoid Carbon Copying.63.What is "carbon copying" according to the passage?[A] To adopt identical gesture of others. [B] To repeat what others have said.[C] To show agreement with others. [D] To mock others.64.Among which group m the following are carbon copying NOT frequently seen?[A] Married couples. [B] Good friends. [C] People not familiar with each other. [D] People at the same* status.65.What should an employer do to create a relaxing atmosphere for employee?[A] Be polite. [B] Copy the gesture of the employee.[C] Be helpful. [D] Avoid copying the employee's gesture.66.What is a way for the prospective employee to show his/her agreement with the boss?[A] Copy the gesture of the boss. [B] Be submissive. [C] Repeat what the boss has said. [D] Be innovative.Part V ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D] on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS, 典)，which has no known cure for (67) afflicted by it, has brought widespread panic to Singaporeans and has (68) altered the pattern of their daily life. The famous saying of President F.D. Roosevelt that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself aptly described the present (69) of mind of a large cross-section of Singaporeans and those in the worst-hit areas like Guangdong and Hong Kong. How does this much fearful illness impinge on the collective psyche of Singaporeans and how do they (70) with it? It is, I believe, fair to say that it has (71) both the nobler and weaker sides of the Singaporean character. First, the well-deserved praise for the (72) and caring healthcare givers, both in the public and private sectors. They have (73) the pressure of it, especially during the early stage, with some of them (74) it and some are still fighting for their lives (75) the much higher risks of contamination, they have continued to put their own safety aside, and that of their families too, and have (76) to perform their professional responsibilities to the fullest. On the (77) side, numerous fellow Singaporeans have treated their healthcare professionals like plague. Our nurses, who (78) wear their uniforms in public with pride, had to endure taunts and hostile stares. Some even (79) them consciously. There were other overt discriminatory treatments meted out to medical staffs, which were utterly (80) and inexcusable. Fortunately, these unthinking Singaporeans were the (81) .Nonetheless, their attitudes have brought shame to the nation. At the other extreme, a large number of Singaporeans have already totally abstained (82) social activitieswith the coming of SARS. The repeated use of the term "super-infector” （83） the health authorities and the media to emphasize the transmission of this disease from one patient to numerous others was rather unfortunate and showed the （84） of sensitivity to the feelings of this poor victims and their family, especially when they were （85） agents in such transmission process. The transmission cycle could have （86）in a more sympathetic way which would still get the message across, and yet not stigmatize the unfortunate victims, who would have to live with this traumatic memory permanently.67.

First of all, living in a local family provides me the opportunity to communicate with native people and thus to get to be more familiar with their language and culture. After all, when one is going abroad to study, one has to learn its language and culture. And in both aspects, living with a local family outside campus is better. Secondly, living outside campus makes it possible for me to have more privacy than living in dormitories on campus. I can have my own room and my own timetable while most of those have to be compromised in dormitories. Thirdly, living with a family can be more colorful. For example, I can watch TV and cook with them. Dormitories in universities might provide fewer facilities such as those.No doubt living on campus has its advantages. For example, one can have closer access to school library and other important learning resources. That is why I emphasized the distance at the beginning. Although ! choose living outside campus, I do not want to be too far away from campus for the reason mentioned above.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1. A2. B3. C4. A5. A6. C7.

The 26 at which cities are growing in the less developed countries is 27 . Between 1920 and 1960 big cities in 28 increased two and a half times in size, but in other parts of the world the growth was eight times their size.The sheer size of growth is bad enough, but there are now also very 29 signs of trouble in the comparison of percentage of people living in towns and percentages of people working in industry, during the 30 century cities grew as a result of the growth of industry. In Europe, the proportion of people living in cities was always smaller than that of the 31 working in factories. Now, however, the 32 is almost always true in the newly industrialized world. The percentage of people living in cities is 33 the percentage working in industry. Without a base of people working in industry, these cities cannot pay for their growth. There is not enough money to build adequate houses for the people that live there, let alone the new arrivals.There has been little 34 to build water supplies or other facilities. So the figures for the growth of towns and cities represent proportional growth of unemployment and underemployment, a growth 35 hopeless and despairing parents and starving children.Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Section ADirections:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

Each statement contains information given in out of theparagraphs. Identify the paragraph which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked witha letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter onthe Answer Sheet.Media Selection for AdvertisementsA) After determining the target audience for a product or service, advertisingagencies must select the appropriate media for the advertisement. We discuss here the major types of media used in advertising. We focus our attention on seven types of advertising: television, newspapers, radio, magazines, out-of-home, Internet, and direct mail.B) Television is an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers massaudiences to advertisers. When you consider that nearly three out of four Americans have seen the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? You can understand the power of television to communicate with a large audience. When advertisers create a brand, for example, they want to impress consumers with the brand and its image. Television provides an ideal vehicle for this type of communication. But television is an expensive medium, and not all advertisers can afford to use it.C) Television's influence on advertising is fourfold. First, narrowcasting meansthat television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience. The Golf Channel, for instance, is watched by people who play golf.Home and Garden Television is seen by those interested in household improvement projects. Thus, audiences are smallerand more homogeneous (具有共同特点的) than they have been in the past. Second, there is an increase in the number of television channels available to viewers, and thus, advertisers. This has also resulted in an increase in the sheer number of advertisements to which audiences are exposed. Third, digital recording devices allow audience members more control over which commercials they watch. Fourth, control over programming is being passed from the networks to local cable operators and satellite programmers.D) After television, the medium attracting the next largest annual ad revenueis newspapers. The New York Times, which reaches a national audience, accounts for $1 billion in ad revenue annually. It has increased its national circulation (发行量) by 40% and is now available for home delivery in 168 cities. Locally, newspapers are the largest advertising medium.E) Newspapers are a less expensive advertising medium than television and providea way for advertisers to communicate a longer, more detailed message to theiraudience than they can through television. Given new production techniques,advertisements can be printed in newspapers in about 48 hours, meaning newspapers are also a quick way of getting the message out. Newspapers are often the most important form of news for a local community, and they develop a high degree of loyalty from local readers.F) Advertising on radio continues to grow. Radio is often used in conjunctionwith outdoor billboards(广告牌) and the Internet to reacheven more customers than television. Advertisers are likely to use radio because it is a less expensive medium than television, which means advertisers can afford to repeat their ads often. Internet companies are also turning to radio advertising.Radio provides a way for advertisers to communicate with audience members at all times of the day. Consumers listen to radio on their way to school or work, at work, on the way home, and in the evening hours.G) Two major changes—satellite and Internet radio—will force radio advertisersto adapt their methods. Both of these radio forms allow listeners to tune in stations that are more distant than the local stations they could receive in the past. As a result, radio will increasingly attract target audiences who live many miles apart.H) Newsweeklies, women’s titles, and business magazines have all seen increasesin advertising because they attract the high-end market. Magazines are popular with advertisers because of the narrow market that they deliver. A broadcastmedium such as network television attracts all types of audience members, but magazine audiences are more homogeneous. If you read Sports Illustrated, for example, you have much in common with the magazine’s other reader s.Advertisers see magazines as an efficient way of reaching target audience members.I) Advertiser using the print media-magazines and newspapers will need to adaptto two main changes. First, the Internet will bring larger audiences to local newspapers. These audiences will be more diverse and geographically dispersed （分散）than in the past.Second, advertisers will have to understand how to use an increasing number of magazines for their target audiences. Although some magazines will maintain national audiences, a large number of magazines will entertain narrower audiences.J) Out-of-home advertising, also called place-based advertising, has become an increasingly effective way of reaching consumers, who are more active than ever before. Many consumers today do not sit at home and watch television. Using billboards, newsstands, and bus shelters for advertising is an effective way of reaching these on-the-go consumers. More consumers travel longer distances to and from work, which also makes out-of-home advertising effective.Technology has changed the nature of the billboard business, making it a more effective medium than in the past. Using digital printing, billboard companiescan print a billboard in 2 hours, compared with 6 days previously. This allows advertisers more variety in the types of messages they create because they can change their messages more quickly.K) As consumers become more comfortable with online shopping, advertisers will seek to reach this market. As consumers get more of their news and information from the Internet, the ability of television and radio to get the word out to consumers will decrease. The challenge to Internet advertisers is to create ads that audience members remember.L) Internet advertising will play a more prominent role in organizations' advertising in the near future. Internet audiences tend to be quite homogeneous, but small. Advertisers will have to adjust their methods to reach these audiences and will have to adapt their persuasive strategies to the online medium as well.M) A final advertising medium is direct mail, which uses mailings to consumers to communicate a client's message. Direct mail includes newsletters, postcards and special promotions. Direct mail is an effective way to build relationships with consumers. For many businesses, direct mail is the most effective form of advertising.46. Television is an attractive advertising medium in that it has largeaudiences.47. The challenge to Internet advertisers is to create ads that are easy to remember.48. Compared with television, newspapers as an advertising medium convey moredetailed messages.49. Magazines are seen by advertisers as an efficient way to reach target audiences.50. Advertising on radio continues to grow because it provides easy access toconsumers.51. Out-of-home advertising has become more effective because consumers travelmore now than ever.52. With the increase in the number of TV channels, the number of TV ads peoplecan see has increased. 53. Newspaper ranks the second among all the media which attract annual adrevenue.54. Direct mail is an effective form of advertising for businesses to developrelationships with consumers.55. Internet advertisers will have to adjust their methods to reach audiencesthat tend to be quite homogeneous, but small.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fourchoices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choiceand mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single linethrough the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.In Britain there is a National Health Service (NHS) which is paid for by taxesand National Insurance, and in general people do not have to pay for medical treatment. Every person is registered with a doctor in his or her local area, known as a general practitioner (全科医生) or GP. This means that their names are on the GP’s list, and they may make an appointment to see the doctor or may call the doctor out to visit them if they are ill. People sometimes do have to pay part of the cost of drugs that the doctor prescribes. GPs are trained in general medicine but are not specialists in any particular subject. If a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, they must first go to their GP and then the GP will make an appointment for the patient to see a specialist at a hospital or clinic.Although everyone in Britain can have free treatment under the NHS, it is also impossible for him to have treatment doneprivately, for which he has to pay. Some people have private health insurance to help them pay for private treatment. Under the NHS, people who need to go to hospital may have to wait for a long time on a waiting list for their treatment. Anyone who is very ill can call an ambulance （救护车）and get taken to hospital for free urgent medical treatment. Ambulances are a free service in Britain.56. In Britain, the National Health Service refers to____________.A) a local hospitalB) a medicine supplierC) a medical care systemD) an insurance company57. Under the National Health Service, British citizens _________.A) are all registered with a general practitionerB) do not need to buy private health insuranceC) can only go to see a general practitionerD) cannot call in a general practitioner58. People buy private health insurance in order to ___________.A) pay for the ambulance serviceB) receive free urgent treatmentC) see a general practitionerD) have private treatment59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A) People in Britain do not have to pay for any kind of medical care.B) People in Britain may wait long for their free medical treatment.C) In Britain you have to pay for ambulance service.D) British private medical insurance is free.60. What is this passage mainly about?A) Private medical care in Britain.B) Roles of general practitioners.C) Taxes and free medical care.D) Health services in Britain.Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom (生育高峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nation’s elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. “In addition to the doctors, we’re going to need more sociologis ts, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,” says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California’s (USC) School of Gerontology (老年学).Lawyers can specialize in “elder law,” which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who combines an expert kno wledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,” one professor says.Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She begancollege as a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria.” So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”61. “…Old is suddenly in” (Line 1, Para. 1) most probably means “______________”.A) America has suddenly become a nation of old peopleB) gerontology has suddenly become popularC) more elderly professors are found on American campusesD) American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students62. With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit _________________.A) from the adoption of the “elder law”B) from rendering special services to the elderlyC) by enriching their professional knowledgeD) by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests63. Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market?A) Retirees are more generous in spending money.B) They can employ more gerontologists.C) The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power.D) There are more elderly people working than before.64. Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage?A) Retirees who are business-minded.B) The volunteer workers in retirement homes.C) College graduates with an MBA or law degree.D) Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology.65. It can be seen from the passage that the expansion of America’s elderlypopulation ________.A) will provide good job opportunities in many areasB) will impose an unbearable burden on societyC) may lead to nursing home abuse and age discriminationD) will create new fields of study in universitiesPart IV Translation (20 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 20 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English and write your version in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.世界钻石委员会（The World Diamond Council）成立于2000年，来抵制消除非洲的非法钻石交易。

大学英语四级考试第5期及答案Part I WritingCity ProblemsNowsdays, millions of migrant workers flock into cities in search of jobs and better living. However, with the sharp rise in the urban population, many problems arise in the development of cities.Firstly, cities become more and more crowded, putting much pressure upon transportation, housing, sanitation, education, employment and so on. City services and facilities have been strained to a breaking point. Secondly, a growing number of private cars emit a huge amount of carbon dioxide, leaving the air mercilessly polluted. What is more, the city is also threatened by an increase in crime. There is not a single day passing without the report of someone being robbed, kidnapped or even murdered.Last but not least, city-dwellers are not only separated from the nature but also isolated from each other, even not knowing name of their next-door neighbor.All these problems have harmed the attractiveness of the city.

Then imagine dust storms sweeping up toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers from the dry seabed and spewing them across towns and villages.Seem like a scene from a movie about the end of the world? For people living near the Aral Sea in Central Asia, it's all too real. Thirty years ago, government planners diverted the rivers that flow into the sea in order to irrigate（provide water for）farmland. As a result, the sea has shrunk to half its original size, stranding ships on dry land. The seawater has tripled in salt content and become polluted, killing all 24 native species of fish.Similar large scale efforts to redirect water in other parts of the world have also ended in ecological crisis, according to numerous environmental groups. But many countries continue to build massive dams and irrigation systems, even though such projects can create more problems than they fix. Why? People in many parts of the world are desperate for water, and more people will need more water in the next century."Growing populations will worsen problems with water," says Peter H. Gleick, an environmental scientist at the Pacific Institute for studies in Development, Environment, and Security, a research organization in California. He fears that by the year 2025, as many as one third of the world's projected 8.3 billion people will suffer from water shortages.Where Water GoesOnly 2.5 percent of all water on Earth is freshwater, water suitable for drinking and growing food, says Sandra Postel, director of the Global Water Policy Project in Amherst, Mass. Two thirds of this freshwater is locked in glaciers and ice caps. In fact, only a tiny percentage of freshwater is part of the water cycle, in which water evaporates and rises into the atmosphere, then condenses and falls back to Earth as precipitation（rain or snow）.Some precipitation runs off land to lakes and oceans, and some becomes groundwater, water that seeps into the earth. Much of this renewable freshwater ends up in remote places like the Amazon river basin in Brazil, where few people live. In fact, the world's population has access to only 12,500 cubic kilometers of freshwater-about the amount of water in Lake Superior. And people use half of this amount already. "If water demand continues to climb rapidly," says Postel, "therewill be severe shortages and damage to the aquatic environment."Close to HomeWater woes may seem remote to people living in rich countries like the United States. But Americans could face serious water shortages, too especially in areas that rely on groundwater. Groundwater accumulates in aquifers, layers of sand and gravel that lie between soil and bedrock. （For every liter of surface water, more than 90 liters are hidden underground）.Although the United States has large aquifers, farmers, ranchers, and cities are tapping many of them for water faster than nature can replenish it. In northwest Texas, for example, over pumping has shrunk groundwater supplies by 25 percent, according to Postel.Americans may face even more urgent problems from pollution. Drinking water in the United States is generally safe and meets high standards. Nevertheless, one in five Americans every day unknowingly drinks tap water contaminated with bacteria and chemical wastes, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. In Milwaukee, 400,000 people fell ill in 1993 after drinking tap water tainted with cryptosporidium, a microbe that causes fever, diarrhea and vomiting.The SourceWhere so contaminants come from? In developing countries, people dump raw sewage into the same streams and rivers from which they draw water for drinking and cooking; about 250 million people a year get sick from water borne diseases.In developed countries, manufacturers use 100,000 chemical compounds to make a wide range of products. Toxic chemicals pollute water when released untreated into rivers and lakes. (Certain compounds, such as polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, have been banned in the United States.）But almost everyone contributes to water pollution. People often pour household cleaners, car antifreeze, and paint thinners down the drain; All of these contain hazardous chemicals. Scientists studying water in the San Francisco Bay reported in 1996 that 70 percent of the pollutants could be traced to household waste.Farmers have been criticized for overusing herbicides and pesticides, chemicals that kill weeds and insects but insects but that pollutes water as well. Farmers also use nitrates, nitrogen rich fertilizer that helps plants grow but that can wreak havoc on the environment. Nitrates are swept away by surface runoff to lakes and seas. Too many nitrates "over enrich" these bodies of water, encouraging the buildup of algae, or microscopic plants that live on the surface of the water. Algae deprive the water of oxygen that fish need to survive, at times choking off life in an entire body of water.What's the Solution?Water expert Gleick advocates conservation and local solutions to water related problems; governments, for instance, would be better off building small scale dams rather than huge and disruptive projects like the one that ruined the Aral Sea."More than 1 billion people worldwide don't have access to basic clean drinking water," says Gleick. "There has to be a strong push on the part of everyone governments and ordinary people-to make sure we have a resource so fundamental to life."1. That the huge water projects have diverted the rivers causes the Aral Sea to shrink.2. The construction of massive dams and irrigation projects does more good than harm.3. The chief causes of water shortage are population growth and water pollution.4. The problems Americans face concerning water are ground water shrinkage and tap water pollution.5. According to the passage all water pollutants come from household waste.6. The people living in the United States will not be faced with water shortages.7. Water expert Gleick has come up with the best solution to water related problems.1.［Y］［N］［NG］2.［Y］［N］［NG］3.［Y］［N］［NG］4.［Y］［N］［NG］5.［Y］［N］［NG］6.［Y］［N］［NG］7.［Y］［N］［NG］8. According to Peter H. Gleick, by the year 2025, as many as of the world's people will suffer from water shortages.9.Two thirds of the freshwater on Earth is locked in.10.In developed countries, before toxic chemicals are released into rivers and lakes, they should be treated in order to avoid.Part III Listening Comprehension(35 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

Main Street was always the heart of a town. This street was lined on the both sides with many 48 businesses. Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries. Inaddition, some shops offered 49 . There shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. But in the 1950s, a change began to 50 place. Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street while too few parking places were 51 to shoppers. Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with interest at the open spaces outside the city limits. Open space is what their car driving customers needed. And open space is what they got when the first shopping centre was built. Shopping centers, or rather malls, 52 as a collection of small new stores away from crowded city centers. 53 by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from 54 areas to outlying malls. And the growing 55 of shopping centers led in turn to the building of bigger and better stocked stores. By the late 1970s, many shopping malls had almost developed into small cities themselves. In addition to providing the 56 of the stop shopping, malls were transformed into landscaped parks, with benches, fountains, and outdoor entertainment.［A］designed ［F］convenience ［K］cosmetics［B］take ［G］services ［L］started［C］Early ［H］fame ［M］downtown［D］Attracted ［I］various ［N］available［E］though ［J］popularity ［O］cheapnessSection BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked ［A］, ［B］, ［C］and ［D］.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Culture is one of the most challenging elements of the international marketplace. This system of learned behavior patterns characteristic of the members of a given society is constantly shaped by a set of dynamic variables: language, religion, values and attitudes, manners and customs, aesthetics, technology, education, and social institutions. To cope with this system, an international manager needs both factual and interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge can be learned; its interpretation comes only through experience.The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment stem from the fact that one cannot learn culture one has to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the business world on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is that business is business the world around, following the model of Pepsi and McDonald's. In some cases, globalization is a fact of life; however, cultural differences are still far from converging.The other school proposes that companies must tailor business approaches to individual cultures. Setting up policies and procedures in each country has been compared to an organ transplant; the critical question centers around acceptance or rejection. The major challenge to the international manager is to make sure that rejection is not a result of cultural myopia or even blindness. Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large companies that earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas. The internationally successful companies all share an important quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but rather built their operations carefully by following the most basic business principles. These principles are to know your adversary, know your audience, and know your customer.57. According to the passage, which of the following is true?［A］All international managers can learn culture.［B］Business diversity is not necessary.［C］Views differ on how to treat culture in business world.［D］Most people do not know foreign culture well.58. According to the author, the model of Pepsi.［A］is in line with the theories of the school advocating the business is business the world around.［B］is different from the model of McDonald's［C］shows the reverse of globalization［D］has converged cultural differences59. The two schools of thought.［A］both propose that companies should tailor business approaches to individual cultures［B］both advocate that different policies be set up in different countries［C］admit the existence of cultural diversity in business world［D］Both A and B60. This article is supposed to be most useful for those.［A］who are interested in researching the topic of cultural diversity［B］who have connections to more than one type of culture［C］who want to travel abroad［D］who want to run business on International Scale61. According to Fortune, successful international companies.［A］earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas［B］all have the quality of patience［C］will follow the overseas local cultures［D］adopt the policy of internationalizationPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.There are people in Italy who can't stand soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey. A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They tell you it's a game better suited to the 19th century, slow, quiet, and gentlemanly. These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there's the sport that glorifies "the hit".By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still.On TV the game is fractured into a dozen perspectives, replays, close ups. The geometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. The TV won't do it for you.Take, for example, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base dugout and you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed. His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. But watch what happensevery time the pitcher throws: the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or bring the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman's position. Suppose the pitch is a ball. "Nothing happened," you say. "I could have had my eyes closed."The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of horsehide on wood. If football is a symphony of movement and theatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking of notes, chores and responses.62.The passage is mainly concerned with .［A］the different tastes of people for sports ［B］the different characteristics of sports［C］the attraction of football ［D］the attraction of baseball63.Those who don't like baseball may complain that.［A］it is only to the taste of the old ［B］it involves fewer players than football［C］it is not exciting enough ［D］it is pretentious and looks funny64.The author admits that.［A］baseball is too peaceful for the young ［B］baseball may seem boring when watched on TV ［C］football is more attracting than baseball ［D］baseball is more interesting than football 65.By stating "I could have had my eyes closed." the author means (4th paragraph last sentence). ［A］The third baseman would rather sleep than play the game［B］Even if the third baseman closed his eyes a moment ago, it could make no different to the result［C］The third baseman is so good at baseball that he could finish the game with eyes closed all the time and do his work well［D］The consequent was too bad he could not bear to see it66.We can safely conclude that the author.［A］likes football ［B］hates football ［C］hates baseball ［D］likes baseballPart ⅤCloze （15 minutes）Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked ［A］, ［B］, ［C］and ［D］on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Who won the World Cup 1994 football game? What happened at the United Nations? How did the critics like the new play? 67 an event takes place; newspapers are on the streets 68 the details. Wherever anything happens in the world, reports are on the spot to 69 the news.Newspapers have one basic 70 , to get the news as quickly as possible from its source, from those who make it to those who want to 71 it. Radio, telegraph, television, and 72 inventions brought competition for newspapers.

They quickly made use of the newer and faster means of communication to improve the 74 and thus the efficiency of their own operations. Today more newspapers are 75 and read than ever before.

大学英语四级考试第5期及答案Part I WritingCity ProblemsNowsdays, millions of migrant workers flock into cities in search of jobs and better living. However, with the sharp rise in the urban population, many problems arise in the development of cities.Firstly, cities become more and more crowded, putting much pressure upon transportation, housing, sanitation, education, employment and so on. City services and facilities have been strained to a breaking point. Secondly, a growing number of private cars emit a huge amount of carbon dioxide, leaving the air mercilessly polluted. What is more, the city is also threatened by an increase in crime. There is not a single day passing without the report of someone being robbed, kidnapped or even murdered.Last but not least, city-dwellers are not only separated from the nature but also isolated from each other, even not knowing name of their next-door neighbor.All these problems have harmed the attractiveness of the city. More people may seek to live in the suburbs if there is n’t any improvement.Part II Reading Comprehension （Skimming and Scanning）1—7 Y Y N N Y Y NG 8.another meter 9.piped in from the river. 10.not yet clear Part III Listening Comprehension11---15 DBBCB 16---20 BAAAB 21---25 CABDA26---30 BCABA31---35 DCBDA36.programs 37.enrollments 38. offering 39. demand 40.professions41. repair 42. increased 43.avoided44.Advanced technology is the most important reason for the rise in adult education.45.V arious courses are offered, among which foreign languages, computers and communication courses are popular.46.

88. If I were you有句意可知”如果我是你”表示的是一种假设的情况,故用if 引导的条件状语从句来表示虚拟语气。
用if 一道条件状语从句表虚拟时,如果表示现在的情况,谓语动词要用过去式(be 动词用were);如果表示将来的情况,谓语动词要用would (could等)或were to+ 动词原形的形式。
89. postponing the conference to the end of this quarter在这句话中,mind作动词,意为”介意,在乎”,其后应跟dong 的形式。
另外,应注意”季度”的英文表达是quarter。
90. With various factors considered已给出的部分句子结构是完整的。
所以中文部分可译成短语或从句来作整句的状语。
由于主句用的是被动语态,并没有明确指出施动者,所以所译的部分最好比买内使用含有施动者的主动句形式。
在次可使用介词with来引导这一结构,而”考虑”和”因素”之间是动宾关系,所以应使用动词的过去分词来表示被动。
91. After having his hair cut待译部分强调的是”理发完成”这个结果,而非理发的执行者,故可用have sth. done 的结构。
还应注意have sb. do sth.这个结构,也意为”让摸人做某事”,但此时,要指出动作的发出者是谁。
2010年冬大学英语四级考试模拟题二答案Part I WritingWill Phones Kill Letter Writing？Today, with the quick pace of life, people, especially young people, usually do not have as much time to write letters as before. They communicate with each other through the electric line. They are becoming so dependent on telephones that some people say that one day phones will kill letter writing. But I don’t think it is the case.It is true that communicating by letters is not as convenient as by telephone. However, letter writing makes people think clearly. When a person writes, he must organize his thoughts and express his ideas and feelings more logically. In addition, letters give you a chance to read them again. Isn’t it exciting to receive a letter from your parents or your friends？Isn’t it pleasant to red the letter again and to feel again the excitement and the pleasantness？So if you have time, write a letter right now, and you will certainly give your friends and your family a pleasant surprise.Part II Reading Comprehension （Skimming and Scanning）1—7.

When the waiter offered us the chopsticks, my friend asked him to change one-off ones for him. Although the waiter explained that the chopsticks of the restaurant had been washed and sterilized, my friend was not satisfied and insisted that they replace them with one-off chopsticks.I tried to persuade my friend into using the chopsticks provided by the restaurant, because I think the use of one-off chopsticks is such a waste of wood. Our country is short of natural resources, including forest, so we should try to preserve them. It is reported that a lot of trees will be saved.Additionally, we should be aware of the fact that natural resources, especially those that cannot be regenerated, are the treasure of all human beings.
