2014年12月全国大学英语四级考试第三套参考答案【作文范文】A Campus Activity that Benefited Me MostUniversity provides many interesting activities to enrich our life on campus. In the past two years, I attended a couple of student societies such as mountain-climbing club and literature society. The most beneficial activity I participated is attending English Comer.First, attending English Comer offers a great opportunity to draw my attention away from busy studies so that 1 can relax, since the Comer is held in a square. As a college student, most of my time is killed in the classroom and library. At the Corner, I can talk in English with my peers on topics of our interest, so it's a relaxation in tedious school life.Second, joining English Corner significantly improved my oral English as well as English listening comprehension. It's the most efficient way for me to practice spoken English because mine is far better now than before.Third, it is a terrific way of socializing. I can get to know unacquainted students, and make friends with them.Therefore, it is safe to conclude that, attending English Corner has benefited me most among campus activities.1-8：BDCCCBAA9-11：CBD12-15：BCBC16-18：ADC19-21：ADA22-25：CDAB26. land on27.

You should state the reasons and write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words．Part II Listening Comprehension (30 minutes)略Part ⅢReading Comprehension (40 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefullybefore making your choices.

You maynot use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.For decades, Americans have taken for granted the United States' position in the development of new technologies. The innovations (创新) resulted from research and development during World War II and afterwards were __36__ to the prosperity of the nation in the second half of the 20th century. Those innovations, upon which virtually all aspects of __37__ society now depend, were possible because the United States __38__ then the world in mathematics and science education. Today, however, despite increasing demand for workers with strong skills in mathematics and science, the __39__ of degrees awarded in science, math, and engineering are decreasing.The decline in degree production in what are called the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and math) seems to be __40__ related to the comparatively weak performance by U.S. schoolchildren on international assessments of math and science.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which theinformation is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked witha letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Ban sugary drinks that will add fuel to the obesity warA)On a train last Thursday, I sat opposite a man who was so fat he filled more than one seat. He was pale anddisfigured and looked sick to death, which he probably was: obesity(肥胖的)leads to many nasty ways of dying. Looking around the carriage, I saw quite a few people like him, including a couple of fatty children with swollen checks pressing against their eyes. These people are part of what is without exaggeration an epidemic(流行病)of obesity.B)But it is quite unnecessary: there is a simple idea- far from new- that could spare millions of such people alifetime of chronic(长期的)ill health, and at the same time save the National Health Service(NHS)at least ￡14 billion a year in England and Wales. There would, you might think, be considerable public interest in it.This simple idea is that sugar is as good- or as bad- as poison and should be avoided. It is pure, white and deadly, as Professor John Yudkin described it 40 years ago in a revolutionary book of that name. The subtitle was How Sugar Is Killing Us.C)In its countless hidden forms, in ready meals, junk food and sweet drinks, sugar leads to addiction(瘾), tohormonal upsets to the appetite, to metabolic(新陈代谢的)malfunctions and obesity and from there to type 2 diabetes(糖尿病)and its many horrible complication. If people really grasped that, they would try to kick the habit, particularly as Britain is the ― fat man of Europe‖ . They might even feel driven to support government measures to prevent people from consuming this deadly stuff. Yet so far this idea has met little but resistance.D)It is not difficult to imagine the vested interests(既得利益集团)lined up against any sugar control- all thefood and drink manufacturers, processors, promoters and retailers who make such easy pickings out of the magic powers of sugar. Then there are the liberals, with whom I would normally side, who protest that government regulation would be yet another instance of interference in our lives.E)That is true, but people should realize that you cannot have a welfare state without a nanny state(保姆国家),to some degree. If we are all to be responsible for one another’s health insurance, through socialized medicine, then we are all closely involved in one another’s health, including everyone’s eating and drinking.That has already been admitted, finally, with smoking. But it has yet to be admitted with overeating, even though one in four adults in this country is obese and that number is predicted to double by the year 2050.Quite apart from anything else, obesity will cripple the NHS.F)Recently, though, there have been signs that the medical establishment is trying to sound the alarm. Lastmonth the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges(AMRC)published a report saying that obesity is the greatest public health issue affecting the UK and urging government to do something.G)The report offers 10 recommendations, of which the first is imposing a tax of 20 percent on sugary drinks forat least a year, on top of the existing 20 percent value-added tax. That at least would be an excellent start. The amounts of sugar in soft drinks are horrifying, and turn straight to fat. As Professor Terence Stephenson, head of the AMRC, has said, sugary soft drinks are ―the ultimate bad food. You are just consuming neat sugar.Your body didn’t evolve to handle this kind of thing.‖H)Precisely. The risks of eating too much fat or salt(which are very different)pale into insignificant comparedwith the harm done by sugar. And it is everywhere.I)It is difficult to buy anything in a supermarket, other than plain, unprepared meat, fish or vegetables, thatdoesn’t have a large amount of sugar in it. This has come about because the prevailing scientific views of the 1960s and 1970s ignored the evidence about sugar, and instead saw fat as the really serious risk, both to the heart and other organs, as well as the cause of obesity.J)The fashion was to avoid fat. But finding that food with much of its fat removed is not very appetizing, food producers turned to sugar as a magic alternative flavor enhancer, often in the forms of syrups(糖浆)that had recently been developed from corn, and put it generously into most prepared foods and soft drinks.K)This stuff is not just fattening. It is addictive. It interferes with the body’s metabolism, possibly via the activity of an appetite-controlling hormone. There’s plenty of evidence for this, for those who will accept the truth.L)Theoretically, people ought to make “healthy choices”and avoid overeating. But sugar additives are not easy to identify and are hard to avoid. So the snacking, over-drinking and over eating that makes people fat is not really their own fault: obesity is in large part something that is being done to them. It should be stopped, or rather the government should stop it.M)Going round my local supermarket, I am constantly astonished that it is still legal to sell all the poisons stacked high on the shelves. The problem is that they are worse than useless. They are poisonous. They are known to be addictive. They are known to make people obese. And giving small children sweet drinks or bottles of fake juice all day long is nothing less than child abuse.N)Clearly, the sale of such stuff ought to be illegal. I hate to think of yet more government regulation. But a bit of tax on sweet soda and a little more health education, a bit of cooking in schools and banning vending machines(自动售货机)here and there —as suggested try the AMRC report — is not going to achieve very much. Labelling is quite inadequate. What is needed is legislation banning high levels of sugary syrups used in foods and drinks.O)In June 2012, the then minister for public health said the government was not scared of the food industry and had not ruled out legislation, because of the costs of obesity to the NHS. However, nothing has happened yet.Why not have another Jammie Dodger biscuit and forget about it.46.Avoiding over-consumption of sugar can improve people’s health as w ell as save medical expenses．47. Laws should be passed to make it illegal to produce overly sweet foods or drinks．48.Giving small children sweet juices to drink all the time is equal to child abuse．49．Looking around．the author found obesity quite widespread．50．The number of obese people is expected to increase quickly in the next few decades51．If people really understood the horrible consequences of sugary foods and drinks，they would support government measures against sugar consumption.52．It would be a very good beginning to impose an additional tax on sugary drinks53. The government has not yet taken any action to regulate sugar consumption although it Indicated its intention to do so some time ago．54．Sugar is far more harmful to health than fat and salt55．Consumers of sweet foods are not really to blame because they cannot tell what food is sugary．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 four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide onthe best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through thecentre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.The rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history, comparable in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph. Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and can communicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere. But the Internet’s tremendous impacts has only just begun.“Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political transformations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,”Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book. The New Digital Age.Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently lackInternet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the implications of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But if the book has one major shortcomin g, it’s that authors don’t spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these weeping changes.In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes —and more importantly predicts —how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades. They paint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and governments must deal with two realities, one physical, and one virtual.At the core of the book is the idea that “technology is neutral, but people aren’t.”By using this concept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs. pessimist dichotomy(对立观点)that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they’re also realistic about the ri sks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance(监视).56．In what way is the rise of the Internet similar to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph?A) It transforms human historyB)It facilitates daily communication．C)It is adopted by all humanity．D)It revolutioniz es people’s thinking．57. How do Schmidt and Cohen describe the effects of the internet ?A)They are immeasurableB)They are worldwide．C)They are un predictable．D)They ale contaminating．58. In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequate?A)It fails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology.B)It fails to look into the social implications of the Internet.C) It 1acks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businesses.D) It does not address the technical aspects of Internet communication.59. What will the future be like when everybody gets online?A)People will be living in two different realities．B)People will have equal access to information．C)People don’t have to travel to see the world．D)People don't have to communicate face to face60. What does the passage say about the authors of The New Digital Age?A)They leave many questions unanswered concerning the InternetB)They are optimistic about the future of the Internet revolution．C)They have explored the unknown territories of the virtual world．D)They don't take sides in analyzing the effects of the Internet．Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.In 1950, a young man would have found it much easier than it is today to get and keep a job in the auto industry. And in that year the average autoworker could meet monthly mortgage(抵押贷款)payments on an average home with just 13.4 percent of his take-home pay. Today a similar mortgage would claim more than twice that share of his monthly eamings.Other members of the autoworker’s family, however might be less inclined to tried the present f or the past.His retired parents would certainly have had less economic security back then. Through-out much of the 1960s, more than a quarter of men and women and women age 65 and older lived below the poverty level, compared to less than 10 percent in 2010.In most stales, his wife could not have taken out a loan or a card in her own name. In 42 states, a homemaker had no legal claim on the earnings of her husband. And nowhere did a wife have legal protection against family violence.Most black workers would not want to return to a time when, on average they earned 40 percent less than their white counterparts(职位相当的人),white racially restrictive agreements largely prevented them from buying into the suburban neighborhoods being built for white working –class families.Today, new problems have emerged in the process of resolving old ones, but the solution is not to go back to the past. Some people may long for an era when divorce was still hard to come by. The spread of no -fault divorce has reduced the bargaining power of whichever spouse is more interested in continuing the relationship. And the breakup of such marriages has caused pain for many families.The growing diversity of family life comes with new possibilities as well as new challenges. According to a recent poll, more than 80 percent of Americans believe that their current family is as close as the one in which they grew up, or closer. Finding ways to imaginary golden age.61. What do we learn about American autoworkers in 1950?A)They had less job security than they do today．B)It was not too difficult for them to buy a house．C)Their earning were worth twice as much as today．D)They were better off than workers in other industries．62.What does the author say about retired people today?A)They invariably long to return to the golden past．B)They do not depend so much on social welfare.C)They feel more secure economically than in the past．D)They are usually unwilling to live with their children63 Why couldn't black workers buy a house in a white suburban neighborhood?A)They lacked the means of transportation．B)They were subjected to racial inequality．C)They were afraid to break the law．D)They were too poor to afford it．64．What is the result of no-fault divorce?A)Divorce is easier to obtain．B)Domestic violence is lessenedC)It causes little pain to either side．D)It contributes to social unrest65 What does the author suggest society do?A)Get prepared to face any new challenges．B)Try to better the current social security net．C)Narrow the gap between blacks and whites．D)Improve the lives of families with problems．Part ⅣTranslation (30 minutes) Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

This has come about because the prevailing scientific views of the 1960s and 1970s ignored the evidence about sugar, and instead saw fat as the really serious risk, both to the heart and other organs, as well as the cause of obesity.[J]The fashion was to avoid fat. But finding that food with much of its fat removed is not very appetizing, food producers turned to sugar as a magic alternative flavor enhancer, often in the forms of syrups(糖浆)that had recently been developed from corn, and put it generously into most prepared foods and soft drinks.[K]This stuff is not just fattening. It is addictive. It interferes with the body’s metabolism, possibly via the activity of an appetite-controlling hormone. There’s plenty of evidence for this, for those who will accept the truth.[L]Theoretically, people ought to make “healthy choices”and avoid overeating. But sugar additives are not easy to identify and are hard to avoid. So the snacking, over-drinking and over eating that makes people fat is not really their own fault: obesity is in large part something that is being done to them. It should be stopped, or rather the government should stop it.[M]Going round my local supermarket, I am constantly astonished that it is still legal to sell all the poisons stacked high on the shelves. The problem is that they are worse than useless. They are poisonous. They are known to be addictive. They are known to make people obese. And giving small children sweet drinks or bottles of fake juice all day long is nothing less than child abuse.[N]Clearly, the sale of such stuff ought to be illegal. I hate to think of yet more government regulation. But a bit of tax on sweet soda and a little more health education, a bit of cooking in schools and banning vending machines(自动售货机)here and there —as suggested try the AMRC report —is not going to achieve very much. Labelling is quite inadequate. What is needed is legislation banning high levels of sugary syrups used in foods and drinks.[O]In June 2012, the then minister for public health said the government was not scared of the food industry and had not ruled out legislation, because of the costs of obesity to the NHS. However, nothing has happened yet. Whynot have another Jammie Dodger biscuit and forget about it.46、Avoiding over-consumption of sugar can improve people’s health as well as save medical expenses.47、Laws should be passed to make it illegal to produce overly sweet foods or drinks.48、Giving small children sweet juices to drink all the time is equal to child abuse.59、Looking around, the author found obesity quite widespread.50、The number of obese people is expected to increase quickly in the next few decades.51、If people really understood the horrible consequences of sugary foods and drinks, they would support government measures against sugar consumption.52、It would be a very good beginning wo improve an additional tax on sugary drinks.53、The government has not yet taken any action to regulate sugar consumption although it indicated its intention to do so some time ago.54、Sugar is far more harmful to health than fat and salt.55、Consumers of sweet foods are not really to blame because they cannot tell what food is sugary.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 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.The rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history, comparable in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph. Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and can communicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere. But the Internet’s tremendous impacts has only just begun.“Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political transformations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,”Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book. The New Digital Age.Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently lack Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the implications of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But if the book has one major shortcoming, it’s that authors don’t spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these weeping changes.In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes —and more importantlypredicts —how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades. They paint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and governments must deal with two realities, one physical, and one virtual.At the core of the book is the idea that “technology is neutral, but people aren’t.”By using this concept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs. pessimist dichotomy(对立观点)that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they’re also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance(监视).56、In what way is the rise of the Internet similar to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph?A.It transforms human history.B.It facilitates daily communication.C.It is adopted by all humanity.D.It revolutionizes people's thinking.57、How do Schmidt and Cohen describe the effects of the Internet?A.They are immeasurable.B.They are worldwide.C.They are unpredictable.D.They are contaminating.58、In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequate?A.It fails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology.B.It fails to look into the social implications of the Internet.C.It lacks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businesses.D.It does not address the technical aspects of Internet communication.59、What will the future be like when everybody gets online?A.People will be living in two different realities.B.People will have equal access to information.C.People don’t have to travel to see the world.D.People don’t have to communicate face to face.60、What does the passage say about the authors of The New Digital Age?A.They leave many questions unanswered concerning the Internet.B.They are optimistic about the future of the Internet revolution.C.They have explored the unknown territories of the virtual world.D.They don’t take sides in analyzing the effects of the Internet.In 1950, a young man would have found it much easier than it is today to get and keep a job in the auto industry. And in that year the average autoworker could meet monthly mortgage(抵押贷款)payments on an average home with just 13.4 percent of his take-home pay. Today a similar mortgage would claim more than twice that share of his monthly eamings.Other members of the autoworker’s family, however might be less inclined to tried the present for the past. His retired parents would certainly have had less economic security back then. Through-out much of the 1960s,more than a quarter of men and women and women age 65 and older lived below the poverty level, compared to less than 10 percent in 2010.In most stales, his wife could not have taken out a loan or a card in her own name. In 42 states, a homemaker had no legal claim on the earnings of her husband. And nowhere did a wife have legal protection against family violence.Most black workers would not want to return to a time when, on average they earned 40 percent less than their white counterparts(职位相当的人),white racially restrictive agreements largely prevented them from buying into the suburban neighborhoods being built for white working –class families.Today, new problems have emerged in the process of resolving old ones, but the solution is not to go back to the past. Some people may long for an era when divorce was still hard to come by. The spread of no -fault divorce has reduced the bargaining power of whichever spouse is more interested in continuing the relationship. And the breakup of such marriages has caused pain for many families.The growing diversity of family life comes with new possibilities as well as new challenges. According to a recent poll, more than 80 percent of Americans believe that their current family is as close as the one in which they grew up, or closer. Finding ways to imaginary golden age.61、What do we learn about American autoworkers in 1950?A.They had less job security than they do today.B.It was not too difficult for them to buy a house.C.Their earnings were worth twice as much as today.D.They were better off than workers in other industries.62、What does the author about retired people today?A.They invariably long to return to the golden past.B.They do not depend so much on social welfare.C.They feel more secure economically than in the past.D.They are usually unwilling to live with their children.63、Why couldn’t black workers buy a house in a whitc suburban neighborhood ?A.They lacked the means of transportation.B.They were subjected to racial inequality.C.They were afraid to break the law.D.They were too poor to afford it.64、What is the result of no-fault divorce ?A.Divorce is easier to obtain.B.Domestic violence is lessened.C.It causes little pain to either side.D.It contributes to social unrest.65 、What does the author suggest society do?A.Get prepared to face any new challenges.B.Try to better the current social security.C.Narrow the gap between blacks and whites.D.Improve the lives of families with problemsPart IV TranslationDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.翻译题一：大熊猫是一种温顺的动物，长着独特的黑白皮毛。

D) Chemical erosion.Stunt people (替身演员) are not movie stars, but they are the hidden heroes of many movies.They were around long before films. Even Shakespeare may have used them in fight scenes. To be good, a fight scene has to look real. Punches must __26__ enemies'jaws. Sword fights must be fought with __27__ swords. Several actors arc usually in a fight scene. Their moves must be set up so that no one gets hurt. It is almost like planning a dance performance.If a movie scene is dangerous, stunt people usually __28__ the stars. You may think you see Tom Cruise running along the top of a train. But it is __29__ his stunt double. Stunt people must __30__ the stars they stand in for. Their height and build should be about the same. But when close-ups are needed, the film __31__ the star. Some stunt people __32__ in certain kinds of scenes. For instance, a stunt woman named Jan Davis does all kinds of jumps. She has leapt from planes and even off the top of a waterfall. Each jump required careful planning and expert __33__.Yakima Canutt was a famous cowboy stunt man. Among other stunts, he could jump from a second story window onto a horse's back. He __34__ the famous trick of sliding under a moving stagecoach. Canutt also __35__ a new way to make a punch look real. He was the only stunt man ever to get an Oscar.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.One principle of taxation, called the benefit principle, states that people should pay taxes based on the benefits they receive from government services. This principle tries to make public goods similar to __36__ goods. It seems reasonable that a person who often goes to the movies pays more in __37__ for movie tickets than a person who rarely goes. And __38__ a person who gets great benefit from a public good should pay more for it than a person who gets little benefit.The gasoline tax, for instance, is sometimes __39__ using the benefits principle. In some states, __40__ from the gasoline tax are used to build and maintain roads. Because those who buy gasoline are the same people who use the roads, the gasoline tax might be viewed as a __41__ way to pay this government service.The benefits principle can also be used to argue that wealthy citizens should pay higher taxes than poorer ones, __42__ because the wealthy benefit more from public services. Consider, for example, the benefits of police protection from __43__. Citizens with much to protect get greater benefit from police than those with less to protect. Therefore, according to the benefits principle, the wealthy should __44__ more than the poor to the cost of __45__ the police force. The same argument can be used for many other public services, such as fire protection, national defense, andA) adapt B) contribute C) exerting D) expensesE) fair F) justified G) maintaining H) privateI) provided J) revenues K) similarly L) simplyM) theft N) total O) wealthGrowing Up Colored[A] You wouldn't know Piedmont anymore—my Piedmont, I mean—the town in West Virginiawhere I learned to be a colored boy.[B] The 1950s in Piedmont was a time to remember, or at least to me. People were always proud tobe from Piedmont—lying at the foot of a mountain, on the banks of the mighty Potomac. We knew God gave America no more beautiful location. I never knew colored people anywhere who were crazier about mountains and water, flowers and trees, fishing and hunting. For as long as anyone could remember, we could outhunt, outshoot, and outswim the white boys in the valley.[C] The social structure of Piedmont was something we knew like the back of our hands. It was animmigrant town; white Piedmont was Italian and Irish, with a handful of wealthy WASPs (盎格鲁撒克逊裔的白人新教徒) on East Hampshire Street, and "ethnic" neighborhoods of working-class people everywhere else, colored and white.[D] For as long as anyone can remember, Piedmont's character has been completely bound up withthe Westvaco paper mill: its prosperous past and doubtful future. At first glance, the town is a typical dying mill center. Many once beautiful buildings stand empty, evidencing a bygone time of spirit and pride. The big houses on East Hampshire Street are no longer proud, as they were when I [E] Like the Italians and the Irish, most of the colored people migrated to Piedmont at the turn ofthe 20th century to work at the paper mill, which opened in 1888. All the colored men at the paper mill worked on "the platform"—loading paper into trucks until the craft unions were finally integrated in 1968. Loading is what Daddy did every working day of his life. That's what almost every colored grown-up I knew did.[F] Colored people lived in three neighborhoods that were clearly separated. Welcome to theColored Zone, a large stretched banner could have said. And it felt good in there, like walking around your house in bare feet and underwear, or snoring right out loud on the couch in front of the TV—enveloped by the comforts of home, the warmth of those you love.[G] Of course, the colored world was not so much a neighborhood as a condition of existence. Andthough our own world was seemingly self-contained, it impacted on the white world of Piedmont in almost every direction. Certainly, the borders of our world seemed to be impacted on when some white man or woman showed up where he or she did not belong, such as at the black Legion Hall. Our space was violated when one of them showed up at a dance or a party.The rhythms would be off. The music would sound not quite right: attempts to pat the beat off just so. Everybody would leave early.[H] Before 1955, most white people were just shadowy presences in our world, vague figures ofpower like remote bosses at the mill or tellers at the bank. There were exceptions, of course, the white people who would come into our world in ritualized, everyday ways we all understood. Mr. Mail Man, Mr. Insurance Man, Mr. White-and-Chocolate Milk Man, Mr.Landlord Man, Mr. Police Man: we called white people by their trade, like characters in a mystery play. Mr. Insurance Man would come by every other week to collect premiums on college or death policies, sometimes 50 cents or less.[I] "It's no disgrace to be colored," the black entertainer Bert Williams famously observed early inthe century, "but it is awfully inconvenient." For most of my childhood, we couldn't cat in restaurants or sleep in hotels, we couldn't use certain bathrooms or try on clothes in stores.Mama insisted that we dress up when we went to shop. She was carefully dressed when she went to clothing stores, and wore white pads called shields under her arms so her dress or blouse would show no sweat. "We'd like to try this on," she'd say carefully, uttering her wordsprecisely and properly. "We don't buy clothes we can't try on," she'd say when they declined, and we'd walk out in Mama's dignified (有尊严的) manner. She preferred to shop where we had an account and where everyone knew who she was.[J] At the Cut-Rate Drug Store, no one colored was allowed to sit down at the counter or tables, with one exception: my father. I don't know for certain why Carl Dadisman, the owner, wouldn't stop Daddy from sitting down. But I believe it was in part because Daddy was so light-colored, and in part because, during his shift at the phone company, he picked up orders for food and coffee for the operators. Colored people were supposed to stand at the counter, get their food to go, and leave. Even when Young Doc Bess would set up the basketball team with free Cokes after one of many victories, the colored players had to stand around and drink out of paper cups while the white players and cheerleaders sat down in comfortable chairs and drank out of glasses.[K] I couldn't have been much older than five or six as I sat with my father at the Cut-Rate one afternoon, enjoying two scoops of caramel ice cream. Mr. Wilson, a stony-faced, brooding Irishman, walked by."Hello, Mr. Wilson," my father said."Hello, George."[L] I was genuinely puzzled. Mr. Wilson must have confused my father with somebody else, but who? There weren't any Georges among the colored people in Piedmont. "Why don't you tell him your name, Daddy?" I asked loudly. "Your name isn't George.""He knows my name, boy," my father said after a long pause. "He calls all colored people George."[M] I knew we wouldn't talk about it again; even at that age, 1 was given to understand that there were some subjects it didn't do to worry to death about. Now that I have children, I realize that what distressed my father wasn't so much the Mr. Wilsons of the world as the painful obligation to explain the racial facts of life to someone who hadn't quite learned them yet.Maybe Mr. Wilson couldn't hurt my father by calling him George; but I hurt him by asking to know why.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
2014年12月英语四级仔细阅读真题(总三套题)及问题详解
2014年12月四级真题（第1套）第一套：Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.The rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history,comparable in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph. Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and can communicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere. But the Internet's tremendous impact has only just begun."Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political transformations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,"Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book, The New Digital Age.Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently lack Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the implications of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But ff the book has one major shortcoming, it's that the authors don't spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these sweeping changes.In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes--and more importantly predicts--how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades. They paint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and governments must deal with two realities,one physical, and one virtual.At the core of the book is the idea that"technology is neutral, but people aren't." By using this concept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs. pessimist dichotomy (对立观点) that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they're also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance (监视).注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

Ea ch paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding lett er on Answer Sheet 2. Ban sugary drinks that will add fuel to the obesity war [A] On a train last Thursday, I sat opposite a man who was so fat he filled more than on e seat. He was pale and disfigured and looked sick to death, which he probably was: obesity(肥胖的)leads to many nasty ways of dying. Looking around the carriage, I saw quite a few peo ple like him, including a couple of fatty children with swollen checks pressing against thei r eyes. These people are part of what is without exaggeration an epidemic(流行病)of obesity. [B] But it is quite unnecessary: there is a simple idea- far from new- that could spare millions of such people a lifetime of chronic(长期的)ill health, and at the same time save t he National Health Service(NHS)at least ￡14 billion a year in England and Wales. There woul d, you might think, be considerable public interest in it. This simple idea is that sugar is as good- or as bad- as poison and should be avoided. It is pure, white and deadly, as Profes sor John Yudkin described it 40 years ago in a revolutionary book of that name. The subtitle was How Sugar Is Killing Us. [C] In its countless hidden forms, in ready meals, junk food and sweet drinks, sugar lea ds to addiction(瘾), to hormonal upsets to the appetite, to metabolic(新陈代谢的)malfunction s and obesity and from there to type 2 diabetes(糖尿病)and its many horrible complication. I f people really grasped that, they would try to kick the habit, particularly as Britain is t he “ fat man of Europe” . They might even feel driven to support government measures to pr event people from consuming this deadly stuff. Yet so far this idea has met little but resis tance. [D] It is not difficult to imagine the vested interests(既得利益集团)lined up against an y sugar control- all the food and drink manufacturers, processors, promoters and retailers w ho make such easy pickings out of the magic powers of sugar. Then there are the liberals, wi th whom I would normally side, who protest that government regulation would be yet another i nstance of interference in our lives. [E]That is true, but people should realize that you cannot have a welfare state without a nanny state(保姆国家), to some degree. If we are all to be responsible for one another’s health insurance, through socialized medicine, then we are all closely involved in one anoth er’s health, including everyone’s eating and drinking. That has already been admitted, fin ally, with smoking. But it has yet to be admitted with overeating, even though one in four a dults in this country is obese and that number is predicted to double by the year 2050.Quite apart from anything else, obesity will cripple the NHS. [F]Recently, though, there have been signs that the medical establishment is trying to s ound the alarm. Last month the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges(AMRC)published a report say ing that obesity is the greatest public health issue affecting the UK and urging government to do something. [G]The report offers 10 recommendations, of which the first is imposing a tax of 20 perc ent on sugary drinks for at least a year, on top of the existing 20 percent value-added tax. That at least would be an excellent start. The amounts of sugar in soft drinks are horrifyin g, and turn straight to fat. As Professor Terence Stephenson, head of the AMRC, has said, su gary soft drinks are “the ultimate bad food. You are just consuming neat sugar. Your body d idn’t evolve to handle this kind of thing.” [H]Precisely. The risks of eating too much fat or salt(which are very different)pale int o insignificant compared with the harm done by sugar. And it is everywhere. [I]It is difficult to buy anything in a supermarket, other than plain, unprepared meat, fish or vegetables, that doesn’t have a large amount of sugar in it. This has come about because the prevailing scientific views of the 1960s and 1970s ignored the evidence about suga r, and instead saw fat as the really serious risk, both to the heart and other organs, as we ll as the cause of obesity. [J]The fashion was to avoid fat. But finding that food with much of its fat removed is n ot very appetizing, food producers turned to sugar as a magic alternative flavor enhancer, o ften in the forms of syrups(糖浆)that had recently been developed from corn, and put it gene rously into most prepared foods and soft drinks. [K]This stuff is not just fattening. It is addictive. It interferes with the body’s met abolism, possibly via the activity of an appetite-controlling hormone. There’s plenty of ev idence for this, for those who will accept the truth. [L]Theoretically, people ought to make “healthy choices” and avoid overeating. But sug ar additives are not easy to identify and are hard to avoid. So the snacking, over-drinking and over eating that makes people fat is not really their own fault: obesity is in large par t something that is being done to them. It should be stopped, or rather the government shoul d stop it. [M]Going round my local supermarket, I am constantly astonished that it is still legal t o sell all the poisons stacked high on the shelves. The problem is that they are worse than useless. They are poisonous. They are known to be addictive. They are known to make people o bese. And giving small children sweet drinks or bottles of fake juice all day long is nothin g less than child abuse. [N]Clearly, the sale of such stuff ought to be illegal. I hate to think of yet more gove rnment regulation. But a bit of tax on sweet soda and a little more health education, a bit of cooking in schools and banning vending machines(自动售货机)here and there — as suggested try the AMRC report — is not going to achieve very much. Labelling is quite inadequate. Wha t is needed is legislation banning high levels of sugary syrups used in foods and drinks. [O]In June 2012, the then minister for public health said the government was not scared of the food industry and had not ruled out legislation, because of the costs of obesity to t he NHS. However, nothing has happened yet. Why not have another Jammie Dodger biscuit and fo rget about it.46、Avoiding over-consumption of sugar can improve people’s health as well as save medical expenses.47、Laws should be passed to make it illegal to produce overly sweet foods or drinks.48、Giving small children sweet juices to drink all the time is equal to child abuse.59、Looking around, the author found obesity quite widespread.50、The number of obese people is expected to increase quickly in the next few decades.51、If people really understood the horrible consequences of sugary foods and drinks, they w ould support government measures against sugar consumption.52、It would be a very good beginning wo improve an additional tax on sugary drinks.53、The government has not yet taken any action to regulate sugar consumption although it in dicated its intention to do so some time ago.54、Sugar is far more harmful to health than fat and salt.55、Consumers of sweet foods are not really to blame because they cannot tell what food is s ugary.Section C Directions：There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some quest ions 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. The rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human h istory, comparable in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph. Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, an d can communicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they c arry everywhere. But the Internet’s tremendous impacts has only just begun. “Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, a nd political transformations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,” Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book. The New Digital Age. Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who c urrently lack Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the i mplications of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like t he news media. But if the book has one major shortcoming, it’s that authors don’t spend en ough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these weeping change s. In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes — and more importantly predicts — how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming deca des. They paint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and gove rnments must deal with two realities, one physical, and one virtual. At the core of the book is the idea that “technology is neutral, but people aren’t.” By using this concept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar o ptimist vs. pessimist dichotomy(对立观点)that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview w ith TIME earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about ma ny aspects of the Internet, they’re also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahe ad when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal priv acy and state surveillance(监视). 56、In what way is the rise of the Internet similar to the invention of the printing pre ss and the telegraph? A.It transforms human history. B.It facilitates daily communication. C.It is adopted by all humanity. D.It revolutionizes people's thinking. 57、How do Schmidt and Cohen describe the effects of the Internet? A.They are immeasurable. B.They are worldwide. C.They are unpredictable. D.They are contaminating. 58、In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequate? A.It fails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology. B.It fails to look into the social implications of the Internet. C.It lacks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businesses. D.It does not address the technical aspects of Internet communication. 59、What will the future be like when everybody gets online? A.People will be living in two different realities. B.People will have equal access to information. C.People don’t have to travel to see the world. D.People don’t have to communicate face to face. 60、What does the passage say about the authors of The New Digital Age? A.They leave many questions unanswered concerning the Internet. B.They are optimistic about the future of the Internet revolution. C.They have explored the unknown territories of the virtual world. D.They don’t take sides in analyzing the effects of the Internet. In 1950, a young man would have found it much easier than it is today to get and keep a job in the auto industry. And in that year the average autoworker could meet monthly mortgag e(抵押贷款)payments on an average home with just 13.4 percent of his take-home pay. Today a similar mortgage would claim more than twice that share of his monthly eamings. Other members of the autoworker’s family, however might be less inclined to tried the present for the past. His retired parents would certainly have had less economic security bac k then. Through-out much of the 1960s,more than a quarter of men and women and women age 65 and older lived below the poverty level, compared to less than 10 percent in 2010. In most stales, his wife could not have taken out a loan or a card in her own name. In 4 2 states, a homemaker had no legal claim on the earnings of her husband. And nowhere did a w ife have legal protection against family violence. Most black workers would not want to return to a time when, on average they earned 40 pe rcent less than their white counterparts(职位相当的人),white racially restrictive agreements largely prevented them from buying into the suburban neighborhoods being built for white wor king –class families.Today, new problems have emerged in the process of resolving old ones, but the solution is n ot to go back to the past. Some people may long for an era when divorce was still hard to co me by. The spread of no -fault divorce has reduced the bargaining power of whichever spouse is more interested in continuing the relationship. And the breakup of such marriages has cau sed pain for many families. The growing diversity of family life comes with new possibilities as well as new challen ges. According to a recent poll, more than 80 percent of Americans believe that their curren t family is as close as the one in which they grew up, or closer. Finding ways to imaginary golden age. 61、What do we learn about American autoworkers in 1950? A.They had less job security than they do today. B.It was not too difficult for them to buy a house. C.Their earnings were worth twice as much as today. D.They were better off than workers in other industries. 62、What does the author about retired people today? A.They invariably long to return to the golden past. B.They do not depend so much on social welfare. C.They feel more secure economically than in the past. D.They are usually unwilling to live with their children. 63、Why couldn’t black workers buy a house in a whitc suburban neighborhood ? A.They lacked the means of transportation. B.They were subjected to racial inequality. C.They were afraid to break the law. D.They were too poor to afford it. 64、What is the result of no-fault divorce ? A.Divorce is easier to obtain. B.Domestic violence is lessened. C.It causes little pain to either side. D.It contributes to social unrest. 65 、What does the author suggest society do? A.Get prepared to face any new challenges. B.Try to better the current social security. C.Narrow the gap between blacks and whites. D.Improve the lives of families with problemsPart IV Translation Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chines e into English.

He was the only stunt man ever to get an Oscar.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.As an Alaskan fisherman, Timothy June, 54, used to think that he was safe from industrial pollutants (污染物) at his home in Haines —a town with a population of 2,400 people and 4,000 eagles, with 8 million acres of protected wild land nearby. But in early 2007, June agreed to take part in a __36__ of 35 Americans from seven states. It was a biomonitoring project, in which people's blood and urine (尿) were tested for __37__ of chemicals —in this case, three potentially dangerous classes of compounds found in common household __38__ like face cream, tin cans, and shower curtains. The results —__39__ in November in a report called "Is It in Us?" by an environmental group —were rather worrying. Every one of the participants, __40__ from an Illinois state senator to a Massachusetts minister, tested positive for all three classes of pollutants. And while the __41__ presence of these chemicals does not __42__ indicate a health risk, the fact that typical Americans carry these chemicals at all __43__ June and his fellow participants. Clearly, there are chemicals in our bodies that don't __44__ there. A large, ongoing study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found 148 chemicals in Americans of all ages. And in 2005, the Environmental Working Group found an __45__ of 200 chemicals in the blood of 10 new-borns. "Our babies are being born pre-polluted," says Sharyle Patton of Commonweal, which cosponsored "Is It in Us?" "This is going to be the next big environmental issue after climate change."In Hard Economy for All Ages, Older Isn't Better... It's Brutal[A] Young graduates are in debt, out of work and on their parents' couches. People in their 30s and40s can't afford to buy homes or have children. Retirees are earning near-zero interest on their savings.[B] In the current listless (缺乏活力的) economy, every generation has a claim to having been mostinjured. But the Labor Department's latest jobs reports and other recent data present a strong case for crowning baby boomers (二战后生育高峰期出生的人) A) as the greatest victims of the recession and its dreadful consequences.[C] These Americans in their 50s and early 60s — those near retirement age who do not yet haveaccess to Medicare and Social Security — have lost the most earnings power of any age group, with their household incomes 10 percent below what they made when the recovery began three years ago, according to Sentier Research, a data analysis company. Their retirement savings and home values fell sharply at the worst possible time: just before they needed to cash out.They are supporting both aged parents and unemployed young-adult children, earning them the unlucky nickname "Generation Squeeze."[D] New research suggests that they may die sooner, because their health, income security andmental well-being were battered (重创) by recession at a crucial time in their lives. A recent study by economists at Wellesley College found that people who lost their jobs in the few years before becoming qualified for Social Security lost up to three years from their life expectancy (预期寿命), largely because they no longer had access to affordable health care. [E] Unemployment rates for Americans nearing retirement are far lower than those for youngpeople, who are recently out of school, with fewer skills and a shorter work history. But once out of a job, older workers have a much harder time finding another one. Over the last year, the average duration of unemployment for older people was 53 weeks, compared with 19 weeks for teenagers, according to the Labor Department's jobs report released on Friday.[F] The lengthy process is partly because older workers are more likely to have been laid off fromindustries that are downsizing, like manufacturing. Compared with the rest of the population, older people are also more likely to own their own homes and be less mobile than renters, who can move to new job markets.[G] Older workers are more likely to have a disability of some sort, perhaps limiting the range ofjobs that offer realistic choices. They may also be less inclined, at least initially, to take jobs that pay far less than their old positions.[H] Displaced boomers also believe they are victims of age discrimination, because employers caneasily find a young, energetic worker who will accept lower pay and who can potentially stick around for decades rather than a few years.[I] In a survey by the center of older workers who were laid off during the recession, just one in sixhad found another job, and half of that group had accepted pay cuts. 14% of the re-employedsaid the pay in their new job was less than half what they earned in their previous job. "I just say to myself: 'Why me? What have 1 done to deserve this?'" said John Agati, 56, whose last full-time job, as a product developer, ended four years ago when his employer went out of business. That position paid $90,000, and his resume lists jobs at companies like American Express, Disney and USA Networks. Since being laid off, though, he has worked a series of part-time, low-wage, temporary positions, including selling shoes at Lord & Taylor and making sales calls for a car company.[J] The last few years have taken a toll not only on his family's finances, but also on his feelings of self-worth. "You just get sad," Mr. Agati said. "I see people getting up in the morning, going out to their careers and going home. I just wish I was doing that. Some people don't like their jobs, or they have problems with their jobs, but at least they're working. I just wish I was in their shoes." He said he cannot afford to go back to school, as many younger people without jobs have done. Even if he could afford it, economists say it is unclear whether older workers like him benefit much from more education.[K] "It just doesn't make sense to offer retraining for people 55 and older," said Daniel Hamermesh, an economics professor. "Discrimination by age, long-term unemployment, and the fact that they're now at the end of the hiring queue just don't make it sensible to invest in them."[L] Many displaced older workers are taking this message to heart and leaving the labor force entirely. The share of older people applying for Social Security early rose quickly during the recession as people sought whatever income they could find. The penalty they will pay is permanent, as retirees who take benefits at age 62 will receive as much as 30% less in each month's check for the rest of their lives than they would if they had waited until full retirement age (66 for those born after 1942).[M] Those not yet eligible for Social Security are increasingly applying for another, comparable kind of income support that often goes to people who expect never to work again: disability benefits. More than one in eight people in their late 50s is now on some form of federal disability insurance program, according to Mark Duggan, chairman of the department of business economics and public policy at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. [N] The very oldest Americans, of course, were battered by some of the same ill winds that tormented those now nearing retirement, but at least the most senior were cushioned by a more readily available social safety net. More important, in a statistical twist, they may have actually benefited from the financial crisis in the most fundamental way: prolonged lives.[O] Death rates for people over 65 have historically fallen during recessions, according to a November 2011 study by economists at the University of California, Davis. Why? The researchers argue that weak job markets push more workers into accepting relatively undesirable work at nursing homes, leading to better care for residents.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

2014年12月20日全国大学英语四级写作题一：印象最深的一门大学课程范文（一）：The Most Impressive Course in My CollegeWhen it comes to a course that leaves the deepest impression in university,different people stand on different grounds.As for me,the most impressive course in college is“Appreciation of English Movies”,which I like best.I prefer this curriculum to others owing to the following factors.On one hand,the professor in charge of this course has impressed me most because she is not only knowledgeable but also patient.More importantly,it is this respectab le teacher who spurs my interest to English harder and broadens my horizon as well.Until now,what she said in the class often occurs to my mind.On the other hand,there are many discussions in the classroom when we have lessons.We are allowed to talk freely about a movie,the topic ranging from the theme of a film to its casting.So,durin g the talk,we become increasingly open-minded.And undoubtedly a brain open to everything carries great importance to study,work and life.Generally speaking,the course on appreciating English films has impressed me most for it is not only instructive but also entertaining.And therefore,I suggest that mor e similar courses should be offered in the university.【参考译文】当谈及到令人印象深刻的大学课程时，人们各持己见。

2014年12月四级真题(第3套)Part III Reading Comprehension(40minutes) Section ADirections:In this section,there is a passage with ten blanks.You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage through carefullybefore making your choices.Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter.Please mark thecorresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.You maynot use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions36to45are based on the following passage.One principle of taxation,called the benefits principle,states that people should pay taxes based on the benefits they receive from government services.This principle tries to make public goods similar to36goods.It seems reasonable that a person who often goes to the movies pays more in37for movie tickets than a person who rarely goes.And38,a person who gets great benefit from a public good should pay more for it than a person who gets little benefit.The gasoline tax,for instance,is sometimes39using the benefits principle.In some states,40from the gasoline tax are used to build and maintain roads.Because those who buy gasoline are the same people who use the roads,the gasoline tax might be viewed as a41way to pay for this government service.The benefits principle can also be used to argue that wealthy citizens should pay higher taxes than poorer ones, 42because the wealthy benefit more from public services.Consider,for example,the benefits of police protection from43.Citizens with much to protect get greater benefit from police than those with less to protect. Therefore,according to the benefits principle,the wealthy should44more than the poor to the cost of 45the police force.The same argument can be used for many other public services,such as fire protection,national defense,and the court system.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

mean—the town in West Virginia where I learned tobe a colored boy.[B]The1950s in Piedmont was a time to remember,or at least to me.People were always proud to be fromPiedmont—lying at the foot of a mountain,on the banks of the mighty Potomac.We knew God gave America no more beautiful location.I never knew colored people anywhere who were crazier about mountains and water,flowers and trees,fishing and hunting.For as long as anyone could remember,we could outhunt, outshoot,and outswim the white boys in the valley.[C]The social structure of Piedmont was something we knew like the back of our hands.It was animmigrant town;white Piedmont was Italian and Irish,with a handful of wealthy WASPs(盎格鲁撒克逊裔的白人新教徒).on East Hampshire Street,and"ethnic"neighborhoods of working-class people everywhere else,colored and white.[D]For as long as anyone can remember,Piedmont's character has been completely bound up with the Westvacopaper mill:its prosperous past and doubtful future.At first glance,the town is a typical dying mill center.Many once beautiful buildings stand empty,evidencing a bygone time of spirit and pride.The big houses on East Hampshire Street are no longer proud,as they were when I was a kid.[E]Like the Italians and the Irish,most of the colored people migrated to Piedmont at the turn of the20th centuryto work at the paper mill,which opened in1888.All the colored men at the paper mill worked on"the platform"—loading paper into trucks until the craft unions were finally integrated in1968.Loading is what Daddy did every working day of his life.That's what almost every colored grown-up I knew did.[F]Colored people lived in three neighborhoods that were clearly separated.Welcome to the ColoredZone,a largestretched banner could have said.And it felt good in there,like walking around your house in bare feet and underwear,or snoring(打鼾.right out loud on the couch in front of the TV—enveloped by the comforts of home,the warmth of those you love.[G]Of course,the colored world was not so much a neighborhood as a condition of existence.And though our ownworld was seemingly self-contained,it impacted on the white world of Piedmont in almost every direction.Certainly,the borders of our world seemed to be impacted on when some white man or woman showed up where he or she did not belong,such as at the black Legion Hail.Our space was violated when one of them showed up at a dance or a party.The rhythms would be off.The music would sound not quite right.Everybody would leave early.[HI Before1955,most white people were just shadowy presences in our world,vague figures of power like remote bosses at the mill or clerks at the bank.There were exceptions,of course,the white people who would come into our world in routine,everyday ways we all understood.Mr.Mail Man,Mr.Insurance Man,Mr.White-and-Chocolate Milk Man,ndlord Man,Mr.Police Man:we called white people by their trade, like characters in a mystery play.Mr.Insurance Man would come by every other week to collect payments on college or death policies,sometimes50cents or less.[I]"It's no disgrace to be colored,"the black entertainer Bert Williams famously observed early in the century,"but it is awfully inconvenient."For most of my childhood,we couldn't eat in restaurants or sleep in hotels,we couldn't use certain bathrooms or try on clothes in stores.Mama insisted that we dress up when we went to shop.She was carefully dressed when she went to clothing stores,and wore white pads called shields under her arms so her dress or blouse would show no sweat."We'd like to try this on,"she'd say carefully,uttering her words precisely and properly."We don't buy clothes we can't try on,"she'd say when they declined,and we'd walk out in Mama's dignified(有尊严的)manner.She preferred to shop where we had an account and where everyone knew who she was.[J]At the Cut-Rate Drug Store,no one colored was allowed to sit down at the counter or tables,with one exception: my father.I don't know for certain why Carl Dadisman,the owner,wouldn't stop Daddy from sitting down.But I believe it was in part because Daddy was so light-colored,and in part because,during his shift at thephone company,he picked up orders for food and coffee for the operators.Colored people were supposed to stand at the counter,get their food to go,and leave.Even when Young Doc Bess would set up the basketball team with free Cokes after one of many victories,the colored players had to stand around and drink out of paper cups while the white players and cheerleaders sat down in comfortable chairs and drank out of glasses. [K]I couldn't have been much older than five or six as I sat with my father at the Cut-Rate one afternoon,enjoying ice cream.Mr.Wilson,a stony-faced Irishman,walked by."Hello,Mr.Wilson,"my father said"Hello, George".[L]I was genuinely puzzled.Mr.Wilson must have confused my father with somebody else,but who?There weren't any Georges among the colored people in Piedmont."Why don't you tell him your name,Daddy?"I asked loudly."Your name isn't George.""He knows my name,boy,"my father said after a long pause."He calls all colored people George."[M]I knew we wouldn't talk about it again;even at that age,I was given to understand that there were some subjects it didn't do to worry to death about.Now that I have children,I realize that what distressed my father wasn't so much the Mr.Wilsons of the world as the painful obligation to explain the racial facts of life to someone who hadn't quite learned them yet.Maybe Mr.Wilson couldn't hurt my father by calling him George;but I hurt him by asking to know why.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
