The price remained high until a new proce ss was discovered for refining the metal with the aid of electricity approximat ely three quarters of a century later. The new method was so much cheaper that aluminum because practical for many purposes, one of which was makin g pots and pans.Aluminum is lightweight, rustproof and easily shaped into different forms. By mixing it with other metals, scientists have been able to produce a variety of alloys, some of which have the strength of steel but weigh only one thir d as much.Today, the uses of aluminum are innumerable. Perhaps its most important use is in transportation. Aluminum is found in the engine of automobiles, in the hulls of boats. It is also used in many parts of airplanes. In fact, the hu ge “airbus”planes would probably never have been produced if aluminum did not exist. By making vehicles lighter in weight aluminum has greatly redu ced the amount of fuel needed to move them, Aluminum is also being used extensively in the building industry in some countries.Since aluminum is such a versatile （多用的） metal, it is fortunate that ba uxite （铝土矿）, which is one of its chief sources, is also one of the earth’s most plentiful substances. As the source of aluminum is almost inexhaustible, we can expect that more and more uses will be found for this versatile meta l.6.

The features of aluminum and its functions.B. The process of aluminu m.C. The discovery of aluminum.D. The promising future of aluminum.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:The idea of a special day to honor mothers was first put forward in Amer ica in 1907. two years later a woman, Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, in the state o f Washington proposed a similar day to honor the head of the family—the fat her. Her mother died when she was very young, and her father brought her up. She loved her father very much.In response to Mrs. Dodd’s idea that same year—1909, the state govern or of Washington proclaimed （宣布） the third Sunday in June Father’s Day.The idea was officially approved by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. in 19 24, President Calvin Coolidge recommended national observance of the occasi on “to establish more intimate （亲密） relations between fathers and their ch ildren, and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations.”Th e red or white rose is recognized as the official Father’s Day flower.Father’s Day took longer to establish on a national scale than Mother’s Day, but as the idea grained popularity, tradesmen and manufacturers began to see the commercial possibilities. They encouraged sons and daughters to h onor their fathers with small thank－you presents, such as a tie or pair of soc ks, as well as by sending greeting cards.During the Second World War, American servicemen stationed in Britain b egan to request Father’s Day greeting cards to send home. This generated a response with British card publishers. Though at first the British public was s low to accept this rather artificial day, it’s now well celebrated in Britain on t he third Sunday in June in much the same way as in America.Father’s Day seems to be much less important as occasion than the Mo ther’s Day. Not many of the children offer their fathers some presents. But t he American fathers still think they are much better fated than the fathers of many other countries, who have not even a day for their sake in name only.11. When did Father’s Day officially begin to have national popularity?A. 1907B. 1909C. 1916D. 192412. Who first started the idea of holding the Father’s Day?A. Mrs. John Bruce DoddB.

Which statement is true, a according to this passage?A. It took even longer for Mother’s Day to gain national popularity.B. The businessmen helped to make Father’s Day popular.C. Father’s Day is only celebrated in America.D. Father’s Day is only a trick of the businessmen to make money.15. What was the first reaction of the British publishing towards Father’s Day?A. They thought highly of it and accepted it at once.B. They just accepted it at once without any hesitation.C. They just thought it a joke.D. They thought it was too artificial and took a long time to accept.Passage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Culture shock is an occupational disease （职业病） for people who have b een suddenly transplanted abroad.Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. Those signs are as following: when t o shake hands and what to say when meet people, when and how to give ti ps, how to make purchases, when to accept and refuse invitations, when to t ake statements seriously and when not. These signs, which may be words, ge stures, facial expressions, or customs, are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend on hundreds of these signs for ou r peace of mind and day－to－day efficiency, but we do not carry most at th e level of conscious awareness.Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these fa miliar signs are removed. No matter how broadminded or full of good will y ou may be a series of supports have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling of frustration. When suffering from culture shock people first rej ect the environment which caused discomfort. The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad. When foreigners in a strange land g et together in complain about the host country its people, you can be sure t hat they are suffering from culture shock.16. According to the passage, culture shock is .A. an occupational disease of foreign peopleB. may lead to very serious symptomsC. actually not a diseaseD. incurable17. According to the passage, culture shock result from .A. the sudden change of social atmosphere and customsB. the sudden change of our daily habitsC. the sudden loss of our own signs and symbolsD. the discomfort that we feel when faced with a foreigner18. Which one of the following may not be a symptom of culture shock?A. You don’t know how to express your gratitude.B. You don’t know how to greet other people.C. You suddenly forget what a word means.D. You don’t understand why a foreigner shrugs.19. According to the passage, how would a person who stays abroad mo st probably react when he is frustrated by the culture shock?A. He is most likely to refuse to absorb the strange environment at first.B. He is really to accept the change and adapt himself to the new enviro nment.C. Although he takes the culture difference for granted, he still doesn’t k now how to do with it.D. He may begin to hate the people or things around him.20. The main idea of this passage is that .A. culture shock is an occupational diseaseB. culture shock is caused by the anxiety of living in a strange cultureC. culture shock has peculiar symptomsD. it is very hard to cope with life in a new settingQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, n otions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tas ks and in decisions makes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharin g. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more e asily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a w orld characterized by cooperation rather by the “battle of the sexes”.If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important —and that has happened in some cases—we are as badly off as before, only in reverse.It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Monism”—but we don’t want to exchange it for a “neo－Popism”. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are sings that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more a ware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should n ot receive all the credit—nor the blame. We have almost given up saying tha t a woman’s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze m an’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place on it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child.The family is a co－operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay dow n rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its o wn problems.Excessive authoritarianism （命令主义） has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibi lities is pertinent （相关的,切题的） not only to a healthy democracy, but also t o a healthy family.16. The ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is .A. fundamental to a sound democracyB. not pertinent to healthy family l ifeC. responsible for MonismD. what we have almost given up17. The danger in the sharing of household tasks by the mother and the father is that .A. the role of the father may become an inferior oneB. the role of the mother may become an inferior oneC. the children will grow up believe that life is a battle of sexesD. sharing leads to constant arguing18. The author states that bringing up children .A. is mainly the mother’s jobB. belongs among the duties of the fatherC. is the job of schools and churchesD. involves a partnership of equals19. According to the author, the father’s role in the home is .A. minor because he is an ineffectual parentB. irrelevant to the healthy development of the childC. pertinent to the healthy development of the childD. identical to the role of the child’s mother20. With which of the following statements would the author be most lik ely to agree?A. A healthy, co－operative family is a basic ingredient of a healthy societ y.B. Men are basically opposed to sharing household chores.C. Division of household responsibilities is workable only in theory.D. A woman’s place is always in the home.Part II Vocabulary and Structure （共40小题,每小题1分,共40分）Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences. Each sentenc e is followed by four choices.

Scholar took his first Chinese class in high school seven years ago and made his first trip to Shanghai in 2015 through a study-abroad program when he was a student in New York University.

He also fell in love with the city, where he ate a lot of authentic xiaolongbao, or steamed meat buns, and felt safe walking on the streets at 3 am.Shanghai impresses Scholar as an efficient, modern city calling for greater business prosperity with foreign participation, so he returned two years later, when his career at home was already booming after making commercials for big names such as Coca-Cola and Jaguar.Thanks to a combination of luck and talent, he achieved the goal soon with a Chinese friend as his business partner, and the company has already produced some 15 videos for pop icons, fashionistas, and art museums in merely six months. The video that plays at Times Square, a tourism promotionalfilm for southwest China’s Chongqing city, is the company’s first project contracted(签合同) by a local government in China.1.What did Scholar study in Shanghai? media.B.Technical art.C.Traditional arts.D.The Chinese language.2.What is the author s purpose in writing Paragraph 3 and 4?A.To change to a new topic for writing.B.To make a conclusion of the first 2 paragraphs.C.To dive deeper into the previous topic.D.To add the background information of the video.3.What do we know about Scholars video?A.It was shot at Times Square.B.It showed attractions of Chongqing.C.It was shot in the year 2015.D.it showed his college life in Shanghai.4.What’s the main idea of the text?A.China opens up new routes to international tourists.B.Shanghai attracts an increasing number of foreigners.C.American dream unexpectedly comes true with the great video.D.Young American brings Chinese tourist video to Times Square.3、 Energy sources which are pollution free and environmentally friendly are one of the key challenges ofworld’s future society. A team of roboticists and biologists at IIT—Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Pontedera (Pisa, Italy), found that living plants can help with electricity. Fabian Meder, Barbara Mazzolai and iheir co-workers at IIT discovered that living plants are “ green ” power source,which may :become one of future’s electricity supplies that perfectly produces in natural environments and is accessible all over the world. Results are published on Advanced Functional Materials.They discovered that plants can produce, by a single leaf, more than 150 volts each time the leaf is touched, enough to power 100 LED light bulbs. They also showed that an “hybrid tree” made of natural and artificial leaves can act as an “green” electrical producer transferring wind into electricity.Certain leaf structures are able to transform mechanical(机械的) forces applied at the leaf surface into electrical energy, because of the specific composition that most plant leaves naturally provide. In detail, the leaf is able to gather electric charges on its surface due to a process called contact electrification. These charges are then immediately passed into the inner plant tissue. The plant tissue transports the electricity to other parts of the plant. And then, by simply connecting a “ plug” to the plant stem(茎), the electricity produced can he harvested and used to power electronic devices.The researchers additionally describe for the first time how this effect can be used to transfer wind into electricity by plants. They equipped a Nerum oleander tree(夹竹桃) with artificial leaves that touch the natural Nerum oleander leaves. When wind blows into the plant and moves the leaves, the “hybrid tree” produce s electricity. The electricity produced increases the more leaves are touched. Consequently, it can he easily up-scaled by exploiting the whole surface of I he leaves of a tree or even a forest.1.What can we learn about the discovery of the Italian scientists?A.A living leaf can produce electricity for 100 LED bulbs when touched.B.Artificial plants now serve as an electricity supply in natural environments.C.An artificial leaf can produce electricity for 100 LED bulbs when touched.D.Natural trees can produce electricity by transferring wind in natural environments.2.What does the underlined word in Para. 2 probably mean?A.False.B.Tall.C.Mixed.D.Decorated.3. How does the plant provide electricity for use?a. Electricity is gained from the stem.b. Mechanical forces are put on the leaf.c. Electric charges are gathered by the leaf.d. Electrical energy is passed into the inner parts.e. Mechanical forces are transformed into electric charges.A.d-c-e-b-aB.e-b-c-d-aC.c-d-e-b-aD.b-e-c-d-a4.What did the experiment of the Nerum oleaner tree show?A.How leaves of trees can produce electricity.B.How hybrid trees can transfer wind into electricity.C.How electricity produced by leaves can be harvested.D.How natural leaves can be combined with artificial ones.4、 According to official government figures, there are more than twice as many kangaroos as people in Australia, and many Australians consider them pests(有害动物). Landholding farmers say that the country’s estimated 50 million kangaroos damage their crops and compete with livestock for scarce resources. Australia’s insurance industry says that kangaroos are involved in more than 80 percent of the 20,000-plus vehicle-animal collisionsreported each year. In the country’s underpopulated region, the common bel ief is that kangaroo numbers have swollen to “plague proportions.”In the absence of traditional hunters, the thinking goes, killing kangaroos is critical to balancing the ecology and boosting the rural economy. A government-sanctioned(政府认可的) industry, based on the commercial harvest of kangaroo meat and hides, exported $29 million in products in 2017 and supports about 4,000 jobs. Today meat, hides, and leather from kangaroos have been exported to 56 countries. Global brands such as Nike, Puma, and Adidas buy strong, supple “k-leather” to make athletic gear. And kangaroo meat is finding its way into more and more grocery stores.Advocates point out that low-fat, high-protein kangaroo meat comes from an animal more environmentally friendly than greenhouse gas-emitting sheep and cattle. John Kelly, former executive director of the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia, says, “Harvesting our food and fibers from animals adapted to Australia’s fragile rangelands is extremely wise and sustainable. Many ecologists will tell you that there is no more humane way of producing red meat.”Opponents(反对者) of the industry call the killing inhumane, unsustainable, and unnecessary. Population estimates are highly debatable, they say, but “plague proportions” are biologically implausible. Little kangaroos grow slowly, and many die, so kangaroo populations can expand by only 10 to 15 percent a year, and then only under the best of circumstances. Dwayne Bannon-Harrison, a member of the Yuin people of New South Wales, says the idea that kangaroos are destroying the country is laughable. “They’ve been walking this land a lot longer than people have,” he says. “How could something that’s been here for thousands of years be ‘destroying’ the country? I don’t understand the logic in that.”Can Australians’ conflicting attitudes toward kangaroos be reconciled(和解)?George Wilson says that if kangaroos were privately owned, then graziers(放牧人)—working independently or through wildlife conservancies—would protect the animals, treating them as possessions. They could feed them, lease them, breed them and charge hunter a fee for access. “If you want to conserve something,” Wilson says, “you have to give it a value. Animals that are considered pests don’t have value.”Privatization could also help reduce grazing pressures. If kangaroos were more valuable than cattle or sheep, farmers would keep less live-stock, which could be good for the environment. Under this scheme, landholders would work with the kangaroo industry on branding, marketing and quality control. The government’s role would be oversight and regulation.1.What can be learnt from the first three paragraphs?A. Kangaroo meat is healthier than other red meat.B. Global brands make small profits on kangaroos.C. Kangaroos are more friendly to the environment.D. Overpopulated kangaroos have become a financial burden.2.What does the underlined word “implausible” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Unreasonable.B. Immeasurable.C. Unquestionable.D. Unchangeable.3.Which of the following might be the benefit of p rivatization?A. The popularity of kangaroo hunting.B. The reduction in the number of kangaroos.C. The establishment of more conservation areas.D. The better management of the kangaroo industry.4.The passage is written to ________.A. argue against the killing of kangaroosB. stress the importance of protecting kangaroosC. present different opinions on the kangaroo industryD. provide a solution to the problem caused by kangaroos5、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

4级考前冲刺试题三参考答案及录音文本
4 级考前冲刺试题三参考答案及录音文本参考答案Part I Writing【参考范文一】Students’ Driving to SchoolStudents’ driving to school is no longer as rare as it was two decades ago. According to a news report, in Chongqing University alone, the number of student drivers now reaches over 50. MBA students included, the number will be up to 500.People have different views on students’ driving to school. Some people say it is a natural phenomenon connected with China’s growth — millions of families can afford private cars now. Some consider it improper, since it will cause parking problems in the already crowded school. Still, there are people who worry that driving to school is showing off to some extent and might lead to blind comparison among students.In my opinion, as long as students own cars and get driving licenses, they should be allowed to drive themselves to schools. After all, car is a transportation tool. Like cycling and walking, driving just serves as a way to travel between school and home. Therefore, there is nothing to fuss over driving to school, even if the drivers are college students.【参考范文二】Students’ Driving to SchoolWith the development of society, more and more families possess private cars, and many college students now drive themselves to school. This sparks off a heated debate on students’ driving to school.Some are in favor of students’ driving to school. They claim that it can save time to go to school or go home, especially for those living far off the campus. Besides, driving is a basic skill for future work, which is always required in job recruitment. On the contrary, some are against it. They hold that young drivers, known as road killers,are not careful enough in driving. “Li Gang Gate” incident is a typical lesson and should be prevented forever. What’s more, they believe that it is a way of showing off, an ill mental state.For my part, I object to students’ driving to school. For one thing, driving to school adds a financial burden to many families. For another, parking is a serious problem. As more and more cars are parked in campus, our beautiful schools will be messy parking lots.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1. C)2. A)3. D)4. B)5. C)6. B)7.

W: I’m glad that you win the singing contest. The award money may enable you to travel around Africa thisautumn.M: I wish I could, but I have to save the money to pay for my daily bills for the next year. You know how expensive things are nowadays.Q: What does the man imply?12. W: I haven’t got enough cash for this suit and the discount will end tomorrow.M: That’s all right. The credit card always does in such case.Q: What will the woman most probably do next?13. M: I’d like to book a table for four this evening at 7:00.W: Wait a minute and let me check if there is any table available at that time. You know, we have been busy these days since Christmas.Q: What does the woman mean?14. M: There is nothing I like more than rock and roll music when I listen to the tape. It is really exciting.W: Actually I don’t listen to popular music. I prefer classical music.Q: What does the woman mean?15. W: I have received your school report for this term and you failed in the subject of The Introduction toEconomics.M: You know, this class is so dull. The professor puts us all to sleep with his lectures.Q: What does the man mean?16. W: It is said that you have made a new pretty girlfriend. And we’re having a party tonight. Why not join ustogether with your girlfriend?M: Well…I’m breaking up with Cathy.Q: What does the man mean?17. M: I have studied French for nearly two months. But it is still hard for me to talk with my French friends.W: You see, usually it is hard to start out and it is a long way to master a foreign language.Q: What does the woman mean?18. W: We have been working on this paper for several hours and I feel really tired.M: Why don’t we just stop and breathe some fresh air outdoors? We have plenty of time to finish it tomorrow.Q: What does the man mean?Now you will hear the two long conversations.Conversation OneM: Say, Lisa, what show are you watching?W: An old Japanese film. I figure if I’m going to spend all next year there, I’d better start familiarizing myself with the culture.M: You mean you were accepted into the program?W: Sure.M: That’s wonderful. You must be excited.W: Excited and nervous. You know I owe a lot to Professor Mercheno. He wrote a letter of recommendation for me and he bought me a set of practice tapes and a book that goes with them just so I can work on my basic conversation skills.M: How much Japanese can you understand?W: Not a lot right now. But I signed up for intensive Japanese this semester.M: I wish I were as talented as you are in foreign languages. I’d love to study abroad.W: Then why don’t you? The university has lots of overseas programs that don’t require mastery of a foreign language.The tuition is about the same. You just have to be the kind of person who is receptive to new ways of looking at things and willing to adapt to a different kind of lifestyle.M: I had assumed that all programs require you to know a foreign language. I might check into this.W: You won’t regret it.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What is the woman doing when the man interrupts her?20. Why is the woman so excited?21. Why does the woman feel grateful to Professor Mercheno?22. What does the woman say one needs to have in order to study in a program like hers?Conversation TwoW: I haven’t seen you here for a couple of weeks. Have you stopped eating or something?M: No. Does it look as if I’ve stopped eating? I’ve been spending a lot of time in the library.W: Working on a paper?M: I wish I were working on a paper. I was working on three different papers: anthropology, English literature, and history.W: Wow. That is a lot of work.M: Yeah. And what’s frustrating is that I’m studying 19th-century British Empire in all three classes. But I can’t write a single paper for all the three.W: Why not?M: The professors won’t let me. Even if I make it three times as long as the suggested length.W: Oh. That’s too bad. Could you write your paper on three aspects of one topic?M: Mm. What do you mean? Do you have something in mind?W: Well, let’s see. Maybe you could do something with Romanticism, like — write your anthropology paper on the cultural basis of Romanticism, and your history paper on the influence of the Romantic poets on the British foreign policy, and OK... and your English paper on analysis of some Romantic poems.M: Hey, that’s not a bad idea. I’ve already started the research for one of my papers. So I can use that. Oh, it’s so nice! What can I do to repay you?W: You want to wrap up my chemistry lab for me?M: I’d love to, but I’ve never taken chemistry. So I’m not sure if you will like the results.W: Oh, well, not necessary then. Have a good weekend. And try to get out of the library and get some sleep. You look tired. You have big circles under your eyes.M: OK. I’ll try. See you later.W: See you.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. What has the man been busy doing all week?24. What does the woman suggest the man do to make his work easier?25. Why doesn’t the woman want any help from the man?Section BPassage OneAnimals perform many useful and entertaining jobs. Dogs are particularly valuable in guiding the blind, protecting property, finding lost people, and hunting criminals. Horses are used in guarding herds, carrying men in lands when there are no roads and helping farmers work their lands. Pigeons have long been used to carry messages.Dogs are extremely useful as companions for blind people. When a dog has been properly trained, he will always lead its blind master in the right direction and keep him out of danger. For example, seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming, even if their masters command them to do so.Horses are also able to learn a lot of things. Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never to be frightened of noises, traffic and other disturbances. Therefore it is necessary for those who train them to be very patient and understanding.Pigeons have a natural instinct to return home, even if they are far away and the trip is very hard and dangerous. Men utilize this instinct to send messages on small pieces of paper wh ich are fastened to the pigeon’s backs or legs. In wartime, pigeons have been known to fly as fast as 75 miles an hour and to cover a distance of 500 to 600 miles.People have realized that although animals may not have the intelligence as human beings, they are smart enough to learn many things.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What is the passage mainly about?27. What can be inferred from the passage?28. What is required for trainers of horses used for guard?Passage TwoMany changes are taking place in the way in which men and women look at their roles in society. We see these changes most dramatically in jobs and business situations. It is no longer unusual to find a male nurse or a female construction worker. Years ago, however, a man who worked as a nurse would have been looked down upon for doing a “woman’s job”, and a female construction worker would have been roared off the construction site by her male co-workers. However, the most important changes that have t aken place can be found in men’s and women’s roles in family life.Household work that used to be done by women is now often shared equally by men and women. Men have discovered at last that they too are capable of preparing the family dinner, rather than thinking that they are only capable of taking out the garbage.Perhaps the greatest change that has taken place in the family is in parents’ new attitude towards bringing up children. While it is true that only mothers can breastfeed their infants, nowhere is it written that fathers cannot bathe their own babies or change diapers. And more and more of them are doing just that. These days, being a full-time parent is a job that fathers and mothers both share.As a result of these changes, we no longer insist that little boys play with trucks and grow up to be doctors, while little girls play with dolls and grow up to be housewives. Many men no longer feel that they must maintain a masculine attitude all the time, and many women no longer feel that they should be submissive and obedient. Changes like these do not occur overnight or even in a few years because they involve fundamental changes in attitude and behavior.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. Where do the most importa nt changes of men’s and women’s roles take place?30. What is the greatest change that has taken place in the family?31. What is the passage mainly about?Passage ThreeAn elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer, a contractor, of his plans to leave the house-building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by. The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career. When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said, “my gift to you.” What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well. So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that we would have done it differently. Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one more day, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. The plaque on the wall says, “Life is a do-it-yourself project.” Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. What did the carpenter plan to do?33. How did the contractor plan to deal with the house he asked the carpenter to build?34. What can we know about the last house the carpenter built?35. What does the story intend to tell us?Section CThroughout history the basic unit of almost every human society has been the family. Members of a family live together under the same roof, and they (36) share the economic burdens of life as well as its affectionate (有感情的)joys. It is the family that has primary (37) responsibility for the important task of raising children to (38) adulthood.The family is not a (39) uniform concept in all societies. In many places it is an extended group that (40) includes uncles, aunts, cousins and in-laws. The head of the family usually has (41) considerable influence in arranging marriages, selecting careers and (42) determining all the important moves and purchases by any member of the family. Particularly where the society or the state does not give aid and where (43) consequently the responsibilities of the family are greater, this larger group provides better.In many other societies, including most industrialized ones, the “nuclear family” is the basic social unit. (44) This term refers to a husband and wife united through marriage and their dependent children, whether natural or adopted. Industrialization and urbanization (45) create many specialized jobs which tend to scatter family members among different employers and thus to separate residences as soon as they become wage earners. The small family, with one or perhaps two incomes, (46) is better able to adapt to rapid change and to move when jobs move.。

Even so, more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time.Why? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth. Some people on the earth do not get very much rain. Yet, they still do not become deserts. This is because there are some small green plants growing there. Plants help keep water in the earth. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away. Without plants, the land can become a desert much more easily.A man decides to make a farm in a very dry place. He digs in the earth and takes away the grass and plants that are already growing on the dry land.He makes a farm. He puts plants in rows. The sun is very hot. It makes the land even drier. When the rain comes, it runs between the row of plants. It washes the good dirt away. When the wind comes, it blows between the rows of plants. It blows the good dirt away. Soon the land is not good enough for a farm any more. The man lets his animals eat all the plants on it. Now the land does not have any plants on it. The sun and wind dry the land and all of the good dirt away. Now the land is a desert.1. A desert is probably _____________.A. grassyB. wetC. treelessD. muddy2. Land is becoming desert because of lack of _____________.A. rainB. peopleC. windD. plants3. Which of the following is NOT the reason why small green plants are very important to dry places?A. They keep the earth from becoming even drier.B. They do not let wind blow the earth away.C. They add color to the dry places.D. They hold water.4. It can be inferred from the passage that _____________.A. it is bad to plant in rows in a dry placeB. it is better to raise animals on dry land than to make a farmC. it is bad to make a farm in a dry place, but it is good to raise animals thereD. all lands that don’t get very much rain are deserts5. What’s the writer’s purpose in giving an example of the man?A. To criticize him.B. To tell an interesting story.C. To prove man makes deserts.D. To prove the hot sun makes a desert.Passage TwoFor years, international swimming has been controlled by a small number of powerful nations. The U.S., Russia, Germany and Australia have produced some of the sport’s finest players and have won most of the top competitions and medals. But the results of this month’s world championships, which are being held in the Australian city of Perth, will not be so easy to predict. Since the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, many new names and nationalities have emerged to take on the world leaders.The 1996 Olympics should have been an opportunity for the U.S. to display its great swimming power, but instead it faced some embarrassing defeats. The surprises started on the first day of the competitions, when Fred of Belgium (比利时) set a world record in the competition for 100-metres breast-stroke (蛙泳). Never before had Belgium produced an Olympic champion swimmer. Two other countries also won swimming gold medals for the first time on the opening day. Ireland’s Michell Smith delighted her country with her first of her three gold medals. New Zealand also celebrated with Danyon Loader’s gold in the men’s 200-metre free style. Loader went on to win the 400 meters later in the competition.By late on the second day, the U.S. team’s officials and coaches were starting to be surprised. Penny Heyns of South Africa had broken the women’s 100-metre breast-stroke record in the morning competitions before claiming gold in the final.6. It is hard to predict the results of this month’s championships because _____________.A. players from different countries have sprung up as new championsB. many names of the players haven’t been heardC. a few countries have won international swimming competitionsD. the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta was a success7. What the U.S. had to face at the 1996 Olympics was _____________.A. new swimming powerB. a big successC. several unpleasant failuresD. a great deal of embarrassment8. The player of Belgium broke a world record in 100-metre breast-stroke which _____________.A. it had won beforeB. it has not gained beforeC. it had won many timesD. the U.S. had never won before9. How many gold medals have the other countries won on the opening day?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.10. It can be inferred from the passage that _____________.A. the U.S. is still the only powerful country in swimmingB. the U.S. has been a great swimming powerC. Ireland once controlled international swimmingD. Belgium had won several world swimming championshipsPart Two Listening Comprehension (35’)Section A (1’×15 = 15’)Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

大学英语四级模拟试题三
大学英语四级模拟试题三Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil.Passage 1How do you send a message to a submerged submarine, particularly one carrying mi Water may not look like a barrier to communications, but appearances are deceiving. Water strongly absorbs all electromagnetic waves except blue green light and extremely low frequency radio waves. The very low frequency waves now used to contract submarines penetrates only a short distance into the ocean, so the craft must either surface or send up and antenna (天线) to receive messages, thereby increasing its weakness. A laser system --- accurate over long distances and capable of carrying more data than the very low frequency waves --- would talk to submarine at their normal depths.In the system, a very broad beam spreading out freely in all directions would be scanned (扫描) over thousands of square miles of ocean so that it wouldn't endanger boats, birds or fish——or the submarines it is supposed to reach.Since only a small fraction of the laser system will make its way through the air and ocean, receivers mounted on the submarines must be able not only to detect the laser but also to discriminate between it and sunlight. So, military scientists are now working hard on special filter that allow through only the precise wavelengths emitted by the laser. The filtered light, when transformed into electrical signal, can then be decoded. Militaryplanners are confident that laser communication with submarines is feasible.1. Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss?A. Missiles carried by submerged submarines.B. Messages sent by submerged submarines.C. Blue-green lasers used by submerged submarines.D. The way to send a message to submerged submarines.2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Water is a barrier to radio communication.B. Lasers have found wide application in submarine communication.C. Water absorbs all kinds of electromagnetic waves.D. Very low frequency radio waves cannot be used to contact submarines.3. Which of the following is NOT true of a laser system?A. It is able to make its way through water.B. It is able to communicate with submarines at work.C. Its beam reaches a submerged submarine with the help of an antenna.D. It is able to carry more data than low frequency waves.4. The reference word “it” (Sentence 1, para.3) refers to .A. the airB. the laser beamC. the oceanD. the submarine5. Who would be very much interested in the passage?A. Missile buildersB. Military scientistsC. FishermenD. Ship builderPassage 2The West begun to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous work re-assessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some reputable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first. China's invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where a static society under a relatively benevolent regime of scholar-gentry contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West's mistakes?6. So far, how many volumes have been published?A. Five.B. Four.C. Three.D. None.7. The first volume was published .A. ten years agoB. last yearC. five years agoD. twenty years ago8. In Line 7, the word “skeptical" means .A. doubtfulB. worriedC. sadD. angry9. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. Gunpowder.B. Needle.C. Paddle boats.D. Bridge design.10. The best title for this passage is .A. China's InventionsB. Comparisons Between the East and the WestC. China Is Catching UpD. Situations in ChinaPassage 3Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dustbin would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.The new concept of recycling waste is taking shape at theBritish technological laboratory at Warren Spring, not far from the north of London. Today, the laboratory spends four times as much money in studying recycling as it did five years ago.The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well. Methods have been discovered, for example, for removing the ink from newsprint so that the paper can be used again, and for obtaining valuable oils and gases from old motor car types. All these ideas are already being made use of, but what is new is the idea of combining them on such a large scale in a single plant designed to recycle most types of waste.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal spikes which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that crushers and rollers will break up everything that can be broken finally, and the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; finely the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.The first full-scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. But in some big industrial areas, where rubbish has been dumped for so long that there are no holes left to fill up with rubbish, these new automatic recycling plants may be built sooner. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish tomore distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.11. Projects for recycling waste in Britain .A. will not be started for at least fifteen yearsB. are being developed all over BritainC. have not yet been fully testedD. have been abandoned because they are too expensive12. The purpose of the latest recycling project isA. to prevent people from putting rubbish into holesB. to find a way of destroying all kinds of wasteC. to extract useful raw materials from the wasteD. to find out how much raw materials should be provided of people want to recycle the waste13. The new type of recycling plant will .A. recycle only paper and rubberB. not recycle metals, paper or rubberC. recycle paper, rubber and metalsD. not recycle steel, lead or copper14. The first recycling plants .A. have already been built in large industrial areasB. will not be built for at least fifteen yearsC. will probably be built in the next fifteen yearsD. will be too expensive to build near big cities.15. “Well on with" in the first paragraph probably means .A. finished withB. nearing completionC. getting ready to startD. making improvements on。

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 write the corresponding letter on the space given.Passage OneQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Every time we open our mouths and speak we label ourselves -- I am English, you may be Bulgarian or African. We are all human beings, but sometimes we have communication problems which can lead to suspicion and misunderstanding.If you speak English, you have an advantage. The English language means power and freedom to many. It dominates international relations. It affects nearly all our lives in one way or another, influencing everything from pop music to diplomatic relations. Yet only around 10% of the world's population are native English speakers. Many of you reading now will have struggled to learn the grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation of this very complicated language. But there could be another solution: learning Esperanto.Esperanto, meaning "one who hopes", is an artificial language, said to be the easiest in the world to learn. It was invented in 1887 by Ludwig Zamnehof, a young Polish optician (眼镜商).The usefulness of Esperanto has been recognized the world over. It is now estimated that around eight million people in over 100 countries have at least some knowledge of it.In Esperanto, we have a language that is easy to learn and fair to all speakers because it belongs not to one nation but to us all. Many people who have tried to learn other languages and failed, have succeeded in Esperanto because it is so easy. Although it is often seen as a joke and not as an important living language, it has been considered dangerous and governments are sometimes afraid of it.Your view of the world is largely based on the language you speak. If you are French, you have a French view, if you are Chinese view and so on. Peter Miles, of the Esperanto Translation Service in England, says that speaking Esperanto gives you a truly international view of the world. He regards himself as a citizen of the world looking down from a satellite circling the earth, who is able to communicate with people all over the world in Esperanto.A nice thought!51. What is the best title for the passage?A) Esperanto -- An Artificial LanguageB) Esperanto -- A Language For AllC) Esperanto -- People's HopeD) Esperanto -- A Nice Thought52. Esperanto is ______.A) not an important living languageB) Zamnehof's mother tongueC) accepted by all peopleD) a favorite of some linguists53. It is implied but not stated that ______.A) Zamnehof hated RussianB) English is more difficult to learn than EsperantoC) Peter Miles is an astronautD) Eight million people can speak Esperanto54. Peter Miles is ______.A) from the Esperanto Translation Service in EnglandB) in charge of the Esperanto Translation Organization of BritainC) a member of the Esperanto Translation Organization in BritainD) a member of the Translation Service of Europe55. The author speaks of Esperanto _____.A) in an objective wayB) in a subjective wayC) in an unfavorable wayD) in a favorable wayPassage TwoQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Honeybees cannot live alone. Their body structure and instincts equip them for life in a colony of community, where they have a complex social organization and the various duties are divided among the individuals according to physical fitness andage. An individual worker bee cannot reproduce itself. While it may continue to live if forcibly isolated from its mates, it fails to care for itself adequately, and soon dies. Most insects have the ability to hibernate in winter, but the honeybee seems to have lost this. Since at low temperatures the bee will die, it must have the ability to make its own environment, so far as temperature is concerned. This makes a colony necessity to the bees in winter, so that they may collectively warm each other. Efficiency, if not necessity, demands that the work of colony be divided, and such a division of labor tends to enhance the need to maintain the colony. The physical structure of the honeybee is further suited for the defense of the entire colony rather than for its own defense. The bee's barbed sting is used only once and is made more effective by the fact that it is left behind in the victim. With the loss of the sting, however, the bee dies. This kind of defensive weapon is not of service to the individual, but to the community.56. Bee are fitted for communal life by virtue of their ______.A) flexibility and initiativeB) independence and enduranceC) intelligence and sensitivityD) instincts and form57. A worker bee may survive for a short time even if it is ______.A) deprived of its stingB) isolated from other beesC) denied access to oxygenD) exposed to a wide range of temperatures58. It can be inferred from the passage that at one time beeshad the ability to ______.A) increase their activity in lower temperaturesB) leave cold climates during winterC) remain dormant through periods of cold weatherD) construct insulated hives59. Bees differ from most other communities of insects in their need to _____.A) reproduce in large numbersB) divide the work of their coloniesC) control the temperature where they liveD) have a complex defense system60. Which of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage?A) The Communal Life of BeesB) The Organization of Insect ColoniesC) The Structure of the BeesD) The Life of Social InsectsPassage ThreeQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:One of the most widely discussed subjects these days is the energy crisis. Automobile drivers cannot get gasoline, homeowners may not get enough heating oil, factories are threatened by a fuel shortage.The crisis has raised questions about the large oil companies and windfall (意外收获) profits. Critics of the oil industry charge that the major companies are getting richer because of the oil shortage. Shortage, of course, drives prices up. As oil prices rise,the critics say, the oil companies will make more and more money -- windfall profits -- without doing a thing to earn the extra cash. "Windfall" profits are sudden unearned profits -- profits made because of luck, or some special turn of events.The word itself tells what "windfall" means -- something blown down by the wing, such as trees, or fruit blown from trees. But the world has taken on a special meaning. This meaning -- getting something unearned -- was first used in medieval (中世纪的) England.This is how it started: At that time much of the land was in the hands of a few barons (贵族). The rest of the people, commoners, lived and worked on their vast estates (领地). They planted the seed, cared for the farm animals and harvested the crops. Not all the land, however, was used for farming. Every land baron kept a large private forest for hunting deer and wild boar (野猪).When hungry, the people sometimes would like kill the animals in the lord's forest for food. And there were times when they might cut down trees for fuel. So, strong laws were passed to protect the forest and the animals. Violations were severely punished.But there was one way people could get wood from the forest. If they found trees blown down by the wind -- "windfall" -- they were free to take them for use as fuel in their homes. And that is the meaning that has come down to us -- something gotten by luck or accident.The poor common people of old England must often have prayed for a good strong wind. Critics today complain that the oil industry has also been praying for something just like it -- some political or military storm that might produce a windfall --a rise in oil prices and profits.The oil companies deny that this is so. In congress, critics of the oil companied have proposed a tax on such profits. The debate on rising oil prices will go on for some time, and most likely we will hear more and more about windfall profits.61. "Critics of the companies" in the last paragraph means ______.A) persons from the oil companies who are criticizing othersB) persons criticizing the oil companiesC) critical opinions from the oil companiesD) critical opinions to the oil companies62. Which of the following couldn't the commoners do in the medieval English?A) Do farm workB) Raise animalsC) Live on baron's landD) Kill animals for food63. Which word(s) should be stressed?A) `windfall profitsB) windfall `profitsC) `windfall `profitsD) windfall profits64. The author's attitude towards the "windfall profits" made by the major oil companies seems to be ______.A) sympatheticB) objectiveC) indistinctD) critical65. Which do you think would be the best title for the article?A) Windfall ProfitsB) Energy CrisisC) WindfallD) The Origin of WindfallPassage FourQuestions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:Dear Jack,Thank you for your congratulations, my congratulations to you! I remember Margaret Field very well -- the girl with that wonderful red hair and those beautiful green eyes. She was the most popular girl in the college. You're a very lucky fellow and I'm sure you'll be very happy with her.Brenda and I are very lucky, too. Her father gave us this house as a wedding present, so we haven't to pay rent. The house and furniture are insured already, so I can't help you by giving you that kind of business. I wish I'd known earlier that you were in the insurance business. I'd certainly have asked you to give me a policy for the house and its contents.I'm rather doubtful about the value of life insurance. It's my duty, I know, to see that there will be money for my wife, and later on for the children, in the event of my early death. But I feel that it's wiser to put any money I can save into the shares of good business companies. You say I can get a policy that will provide '50,000 when I'm 65. Yes, but that time is nearly forty years away, and what will '50,000 be worth then? Ever since the First World War the real value of money has been going down. Prices go upa little every year, perhaps only 4% or 5%, but the movement is always up, never down. '50.000 in fifty years from now may be worth only two-thirds or even a half of what it is worth today. Now if I put my savings into the shares of the big oil companies, or aircraft manufacturers, the value of the shares will go up with the rise in costs and prices. So the real value of my money would remain about the same, wouldn't it? I know your answer. You'll say that your life insurance policy provides against my possible death. I've got to balance that possibility against the almost certain fall in the value of money.I'd very much like you to meet Brenda. Can you come for a weekend some time? What about a fortnight next Saturday? If you can manage it, please let me know which train you're coming by, and I'll meet you at the station. We can have a talk about life insurance and perhaps you'll succeed in making me see that life insurance is a good thing.Yours sincerely,Fred66. We can infer from the passage that _____.A) Margaret, Jack and Fred once studied in the same collegeB) Margaret was unfamiliar to FredC) Margaret was Fred's wifeD) Margaret and Brenda were friends67. The word "policy" in paragraph 2 means _____.A) statement of aims and ideas made by a government.B) sensible conductC) written statement of the terms of a contract of insuranceD) art of government68. "In the event of my early death" can be replaced by _____.A) when I should die youngB) if I should die youngC) after I should die youngD) before I should die young69. Which of the following can be used to modify Fred?A) Practical.B) Short-sighted.C) Skeptical.D) Narrow-minded.70. Which of the following statements is not directly mentioned, but implied in this passage?A) Fred admired the beauty of Margaret.B) Fred didn't ask Jack him a policy for the house and its contents.C) Clearly Fred had his doubt about life insurance.D) Fred worried about inflation in his country.Part IV Translation from English into Chinese (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, there are five items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting of one or two sentences. These sentences are all taken from the Reading Passages you have just read in Part III. You are allowed 15 minutes to do the translation. You should refer back to the passage so as to identify their meanings in the context.71.(Passage One)In Esperanto, we have a language that is easy to learn and fair to all speakers because it belongs not to one nation but to usall.72.(Passage Two)The bee's barbed sting is used only once and is made more effective by the fact that it is left behind in the victim.73.(Passage Three)So, strong laws were passed to protect the forests and the animals. Violations were severely punished.74.(Passage Four)It's my duty, I know, to see that there will be money for my wife, and later on for the children, in the event of my early death.75.(Passage Four)I've got to balance that possibly against the almost certain fall in the value of money.Part V Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Animals in three paragraphs. The opening sentence for each paragraph is give to you. Your composition should be no less than 100 words.AnimalsPeople realize that, although animals may not have the same intelligence as human beings, they are smart enough to learn certain things.Furthermore, animals can learn to do many things that, while not necessarily useful, are very amusing to watch.Most important of all, animals are human beings' good friends and can do many things for people.模拟三答案1.

Complaints about time pressure are so common that they have become a common cultural vocabulary. Everybody, it seems, is stresse d out about time, and achieving “balance” has become the Holy Grail (圣杯) of middle-class family life.But maybe balance is the wrong image. Instead, think transformation. Just as businesses are shifting from Industrial Age to networks, so, too, is the American family undergoing a parallel social revolution. Parents and children are no longer onthe same schedule — unlike the way things were a generation ago. With many educated mothers and fathers working longer hours, they are linked to their kids by a web of cell phones and e-mails.At the same time, kids are taking the initiative to pursue more activities and are using information technologies to nurture their own electronic networks of relationships, from friends at school to cousins in distant cities.The networked economy is leading to far different standards and expectations of what it means to be a parent and a child. It?s not simple enough for the young to get an education. Instead, the goal is to raise children to be creative and adaptable, able both to compete successfully and to collaborate with their peers from all over the world. “We have an economy whose functioning depends for the first time on the enhancement of human capability,” says Richard Florida, professor of public policy at George Mason University in Fairfax, V a.How can the typical overworked white-collar American —bombarded(轰炸) by e-mails, troubled with late-night meetings, and confronted with unexpected business trips — at the same time manage at high speed and cope with the new challenges at home? Gradually, a new body of shared rules-of-thumb(经验做法) is emerging, passed along at playgrounds and in offices. Among them: transform technology from an oppressor into a liberator.Others have mastered the art of interweaving work obligations and home life in a way that was not possible before, answering an e-mail from work one minute and helping with homework the next. And the younger members of the family —already far more sophisticated at multitasking and networking than their parents —are getting a chance to see whatapproaches work and what falls flat.Historically, the organization of the family has mirrored, to some degree, the organization of the workplace. Take the classic middle-class family of the 1950s and …60s, the “Golden Age” economy of stro ng productivity growth and abundant gains in real wages. With a secure corporate job, Dad could afford to work not much more than 40 hours a week and Mom could stay at home to raise the children. The family of that era did many things together. The classic example is eating dinner every evening at the kitchen table. The kids also followed their parents when Mom and Dad visited friends. In essence, a family acted like a single unit, with a hierarchy (等级制度) that mirrored the top-down management of factories or large industrial organizations of the day.Fast-forward to the 2000s. Today, both Mom and Dad are more likely to have careers. The combined workweek of a husband and wife in their prime working years with children is 68 hours, up from 59 hours in 1979, according to calculations by the Economic Policy Institute. The better educated the couple, the more hours they put in. At theof being outsourced to foreign countries. Instead, what?s left are the more complicated and creative tasks that can?t be easily reduced to a set of instructions.At home, standards for a healthy, emotionally rich family life are a lot higher tha n they used to be. Schedules during “leisure hours” are filled with music lessons and play dates for the kids, exercise classes for Mom, and occasional golf times for Dad. Parents are aware that colleges and universities look more favorably on high school students with a demonstrated ability to do many things well, not unlike the skills they will need in theworkplace.To achieve these goals, families are learning to turn technology to their advantage. Many time-pressed workers now realize that technology creates greater possibilities for busy families to stay in touch and, at the same time, increase family time. When Ruder went to the work on Saturdays and Sundays, he doesn?t long for “the good old days”. “Because of technology, I probably spend more time working on the weekend now, but it?s easier on me because I can work at home, then take a run, and go out to brunch with friends,” he says.But just as excessive e-mails and conference calls fill up time on the job, there?s te mptation to use the technology to stuff too much in at home as well. Other busy people have found that it?s important to maintain fairly strict boundaries between work and home.It?s important to note that there?s no one-size-fit-all solution for the problem of reconciling long hours at work with a healthy family life. What?s more, individuals can accomplish only so much acting on their own. Schools and other major community institutions still behave as though the 40-hour workweek were the rule rather than the exception. And corporations are still loading new responsibilities and commitments onto managers and professionals, without taking away any of the old ones. Nevertheless, what?s fascinating about the current focus on managing work and family time is th at it?s rooted in an abundance of possibilities. Through trial and error, with many troubles along the way, the networked family is starting to figure out how to take advantage of the many opportunities available today. And that?s progress.1. We learn from the first paragraph that ______.A) middle-class families take achieving balance as the Holy GrailB) time pressure makes it hard for people to balance work and familyC) people are too busy to share the interesting things in their life with each otherD) complaints about time pressure have become ever more common among people2.

For patients, HIT transforms their 48 role into one of collaboration and partnership with their health care team.While the integration (集成) of technology into health care has been 49 than hoped for, the transition is well under way in health care systems around the country. For example: Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are 50 paper records. While many still experience the 51 of a paper-driven system that is only slightly more sophisticated than black-and-white reruns of Marcus Welby, M.D., EHRs give leading health care providers a complete and accurate medical history as well as links to practice guidelines and best practices. Doctors can access a wide range of tools that support 52 , care management and compliance (遵循) with protocols (方案).pharmacy(药房) to patient. It?s not just about sending a prescription electronically to ensure legibility. A good e-Prescrib ing system automatically flags potentially harmful drug interactions and checks a health Plan?s reimbursement (偿还)schedule to 54 costs for patients.Personal Health Records (PHRs) are patient-owned and 55 electronic health records that allow people to store, access and coordinate their complete health history and make 56 parts available to those who need it.

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 thebest 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.With the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most controversial issue across the United States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective deterrent (威慑) to murder, while others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.The principal argument advanced by those opposed to the death penalty, basically, is that it is cruel and inhumanpunishment, that it is the mark of a brutal society, and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as deterrent to crime anyway.In our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary evil. Throughout recorded history there have always been those extreme individuals in every society who were capable of terribly violent crimes such as murder. But some are more extreme than others.For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in a fit of blind rage, but quite another to coldly plot and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of relative degree. While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instance should be merely isolated from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to debate. But the overwhelming majority of penalty deters murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was consistently imposed in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100,000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been imposed only once, and the murder rate has risen to 10.4 murder rate, which began when executions stopped, is no coincidence (巧合). It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does deter many murders. If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is vetoed(否决), innocent people will be murdered —some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is literally a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of innocent people must be protected.57. The principle purpose of this passage is to ______.A) initiate a veto C) criticize the governmentB) speak for the majority D) argue for the value of the death penalty58. The author?s response to those who urge the death penalty for all degrees of murder would most likely be ______ .A) friendly B) hostile C) negative D) supportive59. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that the author thinks that ______ .A) the second type murders should be sentenced to deathB) the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime is not to be debatedC) the veto of the bill reestablishing the death penalty is of little importanceD) the death penalty is the most controversial issue in the United States today60. The passage attempts to establish a relationship between ______.A) executions and murdersB) the effects of execution and the effects of isolationC) the murder rate and the importance of the death penaltyD) the importance of equal rights and that of the death penalty61. The author?s attitude towards death penalty is ______.A) opposing B) supporting C) neutral D) sarcasticPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Many are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment, but fail to take advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy. For example, everyone knows that lights should be switched off when no one is in anoffice. Similarly, when employees are not using a meeting room, there is no need to regulate temperature.Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy. With the help of smart sensing and network technology, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can beenergy use and institute procedures that lead to smarter and more efficient home, building and industrial plants.Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor (传感器) networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain. Battery-powered wireless networks can simplify installation and reduce cost. But their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly to maintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of window sensor batteries in a large building on a regular basis.The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both the data communication and the power supply is eliminated. Doing so requires a true battery-free wireless solution, one that can utilize energy harvested directly from the environment. To facilitate the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, GreenPeak has developed an ultra-low-power communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as light, motion and vibration. This technology, employing on-board power management circuits and computer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use of harvested energy, enables sensors to operate reliably in a battery-free environment.Wireless sensor networks deployed in our offices and homewill have an enormous impact on our daily lives, helping to build a smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized. These wireless platforms, equipped with advanced sensing capability, will enable us to better control our lives, homes and environment, creating a truly connected world that enables people worldwide to live in a more comfortable, safer, and cleaner environment.62. Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because they ______.A) require automatic rechargingB) are difficult and costly to maintainC) have to be replaced from time to timeD) contain metals that pollute the environment63. Battery-free wireless sensor networks are made possible by the fact that ______.A) their maintenance has been greatly simplifiedB) there is energy in the environment to be utilizedC) the cost of using them has been drastically reducedD) modern data communication consumes little energy64. According to the passage, GreenPeak ______.A) supplies batteries operating on harvested energyB) benefits handsomely from communication technologyC) promotes the application of wireless sensor networksD) is the first company to install wireless sensor networks65. The focus of Paragraph 4 is on the ______.A) replacement of batteries in harvestersB) elimination of batteries in sensor networksD) monitoring of energy harvested from the environment66. Wireless sensor networks promise to ______.A) bring businesses high profits C) turn motion into a majorsource of energyB) further develop the sensing technology D) improve the daily lives of people worldwidePart V Cloze (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. Thenmark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.People who are too happy die younger than their more downbeat(消沉的) peers, claims new research.A study which followed children from the 1920s to old age showed that people who were 67 “highly cheerful” by teachers at school died younger than their more 68 classmates.This was because people who were too happy were more likely to suffer from mental 69 such as bipolar(两极情感障碍), making them 70 fearful and more likely, to take risks that increase the 71 of having a fatal accident.Many researchers from a variety of universities worldwide 72 discovered that trying too hard to be happy often ended 73 leaving people feeling more depressed.And magazine articles offering 74 on how to be happy were also blamed for 75 depression.One study saw participants follow one of the tips to see 76 effective it was. Participants then took the advice offered —such as watching an upbeat (积极乐观的) film — often 77 too hard on trying to improve their 78 rather than letting 67. A) placed C) ratedB) ranked D) valued。

Scholar took his first Chinese class in high school seven years ago and made his first trip to Shanghai in 2015 through a study-abroad program when he was a student in New York University. The film and TV major changed his focus from technical art to traditional arts during his study in Shanghai, spending most of the time learning ink-and-wash painting, calligraphy and the guzheng,a traditional Chinese musical instrument. He also fell in love with the city, where he ate a lot of authentic xiaolongbao, or steamed meat buns, and felt safe walking on the streets at 3 am.Shanghai impresses Scholar as an efficient, modern city calling for greater business prosperity with foreign participation, so he returned two years later, when his career at home was already booming after making commercials for big names such as Coca-Cola and Jaguar.Thanks to a combination of luck and talent, he achieved the goal soon witha Chinese friend as his business partner, and the company has already produced some15 videos for pop icons, fashionistas, and art museums in merely six months.

A team of roboticists and biologists at IIT—Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Pontedera (Pisa, Italy), found that living plants can help with electricity. Fabian Meder, Barbara Mazzolai and iheir co-workers at IIT discovered that living plants are “ green ” power source,which may :become one of future’s electricity supplies that perfectly produces in natural environments and is accessible all over the world. Results are published on Advanced Functional Materials.They discovered that plants can produce, by a single leaf, more than 150 volts each time the leaf is touched, enough to power 100 LED light bulbs. They also showed that an “hybrid tree” made of natural and artificial leaves can act as an “green” electrical producer transferring wind into electricity.Certain leaf structures are able to transform mechanical(机械的) forces applied at the leaf surface into electrical energy, because of the specific composition that most plant leaves naturally provide. In detail, the leaf is able to gather electric charges on its surface due to a process called contact electrification. These charges are then immediately passed into the inner plant tissue. The plant tissue transports the electricity to other parts of the plant. And then, by simply connecting a “ plug” to the plant stem(茎), the electricity produced can he harvested and used to power electronic devices.The researchers additionally describe for the first time how this effect can be used to transfer wind into electricity by plants. They equipped a Nerum oleander tree(夹竹桃) with artificial leaves that touch the natural Nerum oleander leaves. When wind blows into the plant and moves the leaves, the “hybrid tree” produce s electricity. The electricity produced increases the more leaves are touched. Consequently, it can he easily up-scaled by exploiting the whole surface of I he leaves of a tree or even a forest.1.What can we learn about the discovery of the Italian scientists?A.A living leaf can produce electricity for 100 LED bulbs when touched.B.Artificial plants now serve as an electricity supply in natural environments.C.An artificial leaf can produce electricity for 100 LED bulbs when touched.D.Natural trees can produce electricity by transferring wind in natural environments.2.What does the underlined word in Para. 2 probably mean?A.False.B.Tall.C.Mixed.D.Decorated.3. How does the plant provide electricity for use?a. Electricity is gained from the stem.b. Mechanical forces are put on the leaf.c. Electric charges are gathered by the leaf.d. Electrical energy is passed into the inner parts.e. Mechanical forces are transformed into electric charges.A.d-c-e-b-aB.e-b-c-d-aC.c-d-e-b-aD.b-e-c-d-a4.What did the experiment of the Nerum oleaner tree show?A.How leaves of trees can produce electricity.B.How hybrid trees can transfer wind into electricity.C.How electricity produced by leaves can be harvested.D.How natural leaves can be combined with artificial ones.4、 According to official government figures, there are more than twice as many kangaroos as people in Australia, and many Australians consider them pests(有害动物). Landholding farmers say that the country’s estimated 50 million kangaroos damage their crops and compete with livestock for scarce resources. Australia’s insurance industry says that kangaroos are involved in more than 80 percent of the 20,000-plus vehicle-animal collisions reported each year. In the country’s underpopulated region, the common belief is that kangaroo numbers have swollen to “plague proportions.”In the absence of traditional hunters, the thinking goes, killing kangaroos is critical to balancing the ecology and boosting the rural economy. A government-sanctioned(政府认可的) industry, based on the commercial harvest of kangaroo meat and hides, exported $29 million in products in 2017 and supports about 4,000 jobs. Today meat, hides, and leather from kangaroos have been exported to 56 countries. Global brands such as Nike, Puma, and Adidas buy strong, supple “k-leather” to make athletic gear. And kangaroo meat is finding its way into more and more grocery stores.Advocates point out that low-fat, high-protein kangaroo meat comes from an animal more environmentally friendly than greenhouse gas-emitting sheep and cattle. John Kelly, former executive director of the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia, says, “Harvesting our food and fibers from animals adapted to Australia’s fragile rangelands is extremely wise and sustainable. Many eco logists will tell you that there is no more humane way of producing red meat.”Opponents(反对者) of the industry call the killing inhumane, unsustainable, and unnecessary. Population estimates are highly debatable, they say, but “plague proportions” are biologically implausible. Little kangaroos grow slowly, and manydie, so kangaroo populations can expand by only 10 to 15 percent a year, and then only under the best of circumstances. Dwayne Bannon-Harrison, a member of the Yuin people of New South Wales, says the idea that kangaroos are destroying the country is laughable. “They’ve been walking this land a lot longer than people have,” he says. “How could something that’s been here for thousands of years be ‘destroying’ the country? I don’t understand the logic in that.”Can Australians’ conflicting attitudes toward kangaroos be reconciled(和解)? George Wilson says that if kangaroos were privately owned, then graziers(放牧人)—working independently or through wildlife conservancies—would protect the animals, treating them as possessions. They could feed them, lease them, breed them and charge hunter a fee for access. “If you want to conserve something,” Wilson says, “you have to give it a value. Animals that are considered pests don’t have value.”Privatization could also help reduce grazing pressures. If kangaroos were more valuable than cattle or sheep, farmers would keep less live-stock, which could be good for the environment. Under this scheme, landholders would work with the kangaroo industry on branding, marketing and quality control. The government’s role would be oversight and regulation.1.What can be learnt from the first three paragraphs?A. Kangaroo meat is healthier than other red meat.B. Global brands make small profits on kangaroos.C. Kangaroos are more friendly to the environment.D. Overpopulated kangaroos have become a financial burden.2.What does the underlined word “implausible” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Unreasonable.B. Immeasurable.C. Unquestionable.D. Unchangeable.3.Which of the following might be the benefit of p rivatization?A. The popularity of kangaroo hunting.B. The reduction in the number of kangaroos.C. The establishment of more conservation areas.D. The better management of the kangaroo industry.4.The passage is written to ________.A. argue against the killing of kangaroosB. stress the importance of protecting kangaroosC. present different opinions on the kangaroo industryD. provide a solution to the problem caused by kangaroos5、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Since the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, many new names and nationalities have emerged to take on the world leaders.The 1996 Olympics should have been an opportunity for the U.S. to display its great swimming power, but instead it faced some embarrassing defeats. The surprises started on the first day of the competitions, when Fred of Belgium (比利时) set a world record in the competition for 100-metres breast-stroke (蛙泳). Never before had Belgium produced an Olympic champion swimmer. Two other countries also won swimming gold medals for the first time on the opening day. Ireland’s Michell Smith delighted her country with her first of her three gold medals. New Zealand also celebrated withDanyon Loader’s gold in the men’s 200-metre free style. Loader went on to win the 400 meters later in the competition.By late on the second day, the U.S. team’s officials and coaches were starting to be surprised. Penny Heyns of South Africa had broken the women’s 100-metre breast-stroke record in the morning competitions before claiming gold in the final.6.
