参考范文:Learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission. This is a proverb full of logic. In other words, learning is significant in our whole life. Indeed, we can learn many things from it. If you understand it and apply it to your study or work, you’ll necessarily benefit a lot from it.There are many reasons which can explain this phenomenon and the following are the typical ones. The first reason is that learning can light our road in the coming future. There is no denying the fact that the society is developing increasingly fast and we are often easily surpassed by the people around. The only way to avoid this is to learn to improve ourselves. As an illustration, I’d like to take myself as an example. After graduation from college, my life has been full of working pressure, which contributes to my decision of pursuing further education. That’s why I can make my own way in such a competitive society.The effect of learning can be boiled down to two major ones. First, with the spirit of learning, we are more capable of overcoming the difficulties in the future. More importantly, we can enrich our spare time life by learning. No matter who you are, you must remember that learning is the basic skill in our life.写作第二版:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying"Listening is more important than talking."

2021年大学英语四级考试试题答案与详解

1月大学英语四级考试试题答案与详解41. By the time you get to New York,I ____ for London.A) would be leaving B) am leavingC) have already left D) shall have leftD)。

【译文】当你到达纽约时,我已经离开纽约,前去伦敦了。

【解析】动词时态题。

普通来说,状语从句用普通当前时,主句要用将来某种时态。

而时间状语by the time决定了主句要用将来完毕时。

本句没有与事实相反假设,因此不用虚拟式,故排除A);选项B)形式可以表达将来动作,但不是将来完毕时;C)只要普通当前完毕时,不是将来完毕时。

42. The article suggests that when a person ____ under unusual stress he should be especially careful to have a well-balanced diet.A) is B) were C) be D) wasA)。

【译文】这篇文章建议说,当一种人处在非同寻常压力之下时,她特别应当注意保持均衡饮食。

【解析】动词时态题。

Suggest后接宾语从句时,如果suggest意为“建议”,宾语从句谓语动词应用虚拟语调;should + 动词原形或动词原形。

但是本题suggest引导宾语从句中,主句是he should be…,用是should + 动词原形形式,而空格处需要填入是when引导时间状语从句中动词,因此不必用虚拟语调。

并且从句说是普通规律性事情,用动词普通当前时就可以了。

43. The lawyer advised him to drop the ____ since he stands little chance to win.A) event B) incident C) case D) affairC)。

2021年英语四级作文模拟试题及答案(卷四)

2021年英语四级作文模拟试题及答案(卷四)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:1. 现在某些高校校园禁止车辆驶入,2. 这种规定的考虑,3. 谈谈你的看法。

Should cars be allowed into College Campus?With the rapid development of our national economy, private cars have become in large number; of course, quite a few cars are heavily driven into College Campus.In a significant way, these cars do not take up students’places for study, but actually affect their daily life and study-- for instance, this crowd of cars may make noise and emit filthy gas to choke us to death. And the campus is jammed with lines of cars and seems to be parking lot instead of an academic institute. So cars have been strictly prohibited into many College Campuses. It seems that this is not convenience to some persons, indeed, but this is for the sake of our safety. Thus when someone enjoys convenience from modern tools, don't forget that it is dangerous to the students in the College Campus. Therefore, I agree that cars are not allowed into College Campus.By and large, with the price of cars falling significantly, cars willenter average families, and most Chinese will enjoy a luxurious lifestyle in their life. However, they are still prohibited to drive their cars into College Campus, which , I think, is a hard truth in the eyes of most people.点评:随着人们物质生活的提高,私家车发展迅猛,越来越多的私家车停放在校园,由此产生了一些问题,如空间被占、噪音污染、环境污染等,为此许多学校禁止车辆驶入校园。

For questions 1-7, choose thebest answer from the four choices marked A),B),C) and D). For questions8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.How Do You See Diversity?As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise.He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice.“It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes.“I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,”Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.”Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions .Hire AdvantageAt a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots .A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .“During my Mindsets coaching session ,I was taught how to recruit a diversified workforce. I recruited people from different cultures and skill sets .The agents were able to utilize their full potential and experiences to build up the company .When the real estate market began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to stay in the real estate market much longer than others in the same profession.”Blinded by GenderDale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops on supervising a diverse workforce . “Through one of the sessions ,I discovered my personal bias ,” he recalls . “I learned I had not been looking at a person as a whole person , and being open to differences .” In his case , the blindness was not about culture but rather gender .“I had a management position open in my department ;and the two finalists were a man and a woman . Had I not attended this workshop , I would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel . My reasoning would have been that even though both candidates were great and could have been successful in the position , I assumed the woman would have wanted to be home with her children and not travel .”Dale’s assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits an organization’s ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse workforce .“I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation , I needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision .” Dale credits the workshop , “because it helped me make decisions based on fairness .”Year of the Know-It-AllDoug is another supervisor who attended one of my workshops .He recalls a major lesson learned from his own employee.“One of my most embarrassing moments was when I had a Chinese-American employee put in a request to take time off to celebrate Chinese New Year . In my ignorance , I assumed he had his dates wrong , as the first of January had just passed . When I advised him of this , I gave him a long talking-to about turning in requests earlywith the proper dates .“He patiently waited , then when I was done , he said he would like Chinese New Year did not begin January first , and that Chinese New Year ,which is tied to the lunar cycle ,is one of the most celebrated holidays on the Chinese calendar . Needless to say , I felt very embarrassed in assuming he had his dates mixed up . But I learned a great deal about assumptions , and that the timing of holidays varies considerably from culture to culture .“Attending the diversity workshop helped me realize how much I could learn by simply asking questions and creating dialogues with my employees , rather than making assumptions and trying to be a know-it-all ,” Doug admits . “The biggest thing I took away from the workshop is learning how to be more ‘inclusive’ to differences.”A better Bottom LineAn open mind about diversity not only improves organizations internally , it is profitable as well . These comments from a customer service representative show how an inclusive attitude can improve sales .”Most of my customers speak English as a second language . One of the best things my company has done is to contract with a language service that offers translations over the phone . It wasn’t until my boss received Mindsets’ training that she was able to understand how important inclusiveness was to customer service . As result , our customer base has increased .”Once we start to see people as individuals . and discard the stereotypes , we can move positively toward inclusiveness for everyone . Diversity is about coming together and taking advantage of our differences and similarities . It is about building better communities and organizations that enhance us as individuals and reinforce our shared humanity .When we begin to question our assumptions and challenge what we think we have learned from our past , from the media, peers , family , friends , etc , we begin to realize that some of our conclusions are flawed(有缺陷的) or contrary to our fundamental values . We need to train our-selves to think differently , shift our mindsets and realize that diversity opens doors for all of us ,creating opportunities in organizations and communities that benefit everyone .1.What bothered Tiffany during an interview with her candidate?A)He just wouldn’t look her in the eye.B)He was slow in answering her questions.C)His answers to some of her questions were irrelevant.D)His answers to some of her questions were irrelevant .2. Tiffany’s misjudgment about the candidate stemmed from .A) Racial stereotypes. C) Racial stereotypes.B) Invalid personal bias . D) Emphasis on physical appearance3. What is becoming essential in the course of economic globalization accordingto the author?A) Hiring qualified technical and management personnel.B) Increasing understanding of people of other cultures.C) Constantly updating knowledge and equipment.D) Expanding domestic and international markets.4. What kind of organization is Mindsets LLC?A) A real estate agency. C) A cultural exchange organization.B) A personnel training company. D) A hi-tech company5. After one of the workshops ,account executive Dale realized that .A) He had hired the wrong person.B) He could have done more for his company.C) He had not managed his workforce well.D) He must get rid of his gender bias.6. What did Dale think of Mindsets LLC’s workshop?A) It was well-intentioned but poorly conducted.B) It tapped into the executives’ full potential.C) It helped him make fair decisions.D) It met participants’ diverse needs.7.

For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you havejust heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, whenthe passage is read for the third time, you should check what you havewritten .Around 120 years ago, Ebbinghaus began his study of memory. He(36) .on studying how quickly the human mind can remember (37) . One result of his research is known as the total time hypothesis(假设), which simply means the amount you learn (38) on the time you spend trying to learn it . This can be taken as our first rule of learning.Although it is usually true that studying for four hours is better than studying for one, there is still the question of how we should use the four hours. For example, is it better to study for four hours (39) or to study for one hour a day for four days in a (40) ?. The answer, as you may have (41) , is that it is better to spread out the study times. This (42) , through which we can learn more (43) .by dividing our practice time, is known as the distribution of practice effect. Thus, (44).But we’re not finished yet. We haven’t considered how we should study over very short periods of time. (45).Should you look at the same word in rapid succession, or look at the word and then have some delay before you look at it again ?(46).Part IV Reading Comprehension (reading in depth) (25 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 bankfollowing the passage. Read the passage through carefully before makingyour choices. Each choice in bank is identified by a letter. Please markthe corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a singleline through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bankmore than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.Every year in the first week of my English class, some students inform me that writhing is too hard. They never write, unless assignments 47 it . They fine the writing process 48 and difficult.How awful to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it- 49 English , with its rich vocabulary . Being able to speak but not write is like living in an 50 mansion(豪宅) and never leaving one small room . When I meet students who think they can’t write, I know as a teacher my 51 is to show them the rest of the rooms . My task is to build fluency while providing the opportunity inherent in any writing activity to 52 the moral and emotional development of my students . One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal in class every day.Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done 53 , just like exercise ; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise , writing skills improve quickly with writing practice. I often see a rise in student confidence and 54 after only a few weeks of journal writing .Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole student. When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future academic, political, and 55 lives . They build skills so that some day they might write a great novel, a piece of sorely needed legislation, or the perfect love letter. Every day that they write in their journals puts them a step 56 to fluency , eloquence (雄辩), and command of language .Section BDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fourchoices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choiceand mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single linethrough the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.The January fashion show, called FutureFashion , exemplified how far green design has come. Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines.The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to fine . “Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren’t comparable fabrics that can just replace what you’re doing and shat your customers are used to,” he says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents.Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs(企业家) who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable . It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional(过渡型的) cottonat higher prices , thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material . “Mainstream is about to occur,” says Hahn.Some analysts(分析师) are less sure . Among consumers, only 18%are even aware that ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer, when asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: “Not that I’m aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’s on the hunt for “cute stuff that isn’t too expensive.” By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her mind. But –thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers –one day it will be.57. What is said about FutureFashion?A) It inspired many leading designers to start going green.B) It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.C) It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized.D) It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable.58. According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic isthat .A) much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materials .B) they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materials .C) customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materials .D) quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available .59. We learn from Paragraph 3 that designers who undertake green fashion .A) can attend various trade shows free .B) are readily recognized by the fashion worldC) can buy organic cotton at favorable prices .D) are gaining more and more support .60. What is Natalie Hormilla’s attitude toward ecofashion?A) She doesn’t seem to care about it. C) She is doubtful of its practical value.B) She doesn’t think it is sustainable D) She is very much opposed to the idea61. What does the author think of green fashion?A) Green products will soon go mainstream.B) It has a very promising future.C) Consumers have the final say.D) It will appeal more to young people.Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Scientists have devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived using a strand(缕) of hair , a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims .The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in people’s hair.“You’re what you eat and drink, and that’s recorded in you hair,” said Thure Cerling, a geologist at the University of Utah.While U.S diet is relatively identical, water supplies vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as raid clouds move.Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable , but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素) . The heaviest raid falls first .As a result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah.Similar patterns exist throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair corresponds to about two months.Cerling’s team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a mop of the regional differences. They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber shops.They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of raid systems.“It’s not good for pinpointing (精确定位),” Cerling said . “It’s good for eliminating many possibilities.”Todd Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake.The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones, a T-shirt and several strands of hair.When Park heard about the research, he gave the hair samples to the researchers. Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about every two months.She stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.“It’s still a substantial area,” Park said “But it narrows it way down for me.”62. What is the scientists’ new discovery?A) One’s hair growth has to do with the amount of water they drink.B) A person’s hair may reveal where they have lived.C) Hair analysis accurately identifies criminal suspects.D) The chemical composition of hair varies from person to person.63. What does the author mean by “You’re what you eat and drink” (Line 1, Para.3)?A) Food and drink affect one’s personality development.B) Food and drink preferences vary with individuals.C) Food and drink leave traces in one’s body tissues.D) Food and drink are indispensable to one’s existence.64. What is said about the rainfall in America’s West?A) There is much more rainfall in California than in Utah.B) The water it delivers becomes lighter when it moves inland.C) Its chemical composition is less stable than in other areas.D) It gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward.65. What did Cerling’s team produce in their research?A) A map showing the regional differences of tap water.B) A collection of hair samples from various barber shops.C) A method to measure the amount of water in human hair.D) A chart illustrating the movement of the rain system.66. What is the practical value of Cerling’s research?A) It helps analyze the quality of water in different regions.B) It helps the police determine where a crime is committed.C) It helps the police narrow down possibilities in detective work.D) It helps identify the drinking habits of the person under investigation.Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Kimiyuki Suda should be a perfect customer for Japan’s car-makers.

2021年1月大学英语四级考试阅读附试题和答案Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.More than 30,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year. At the speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third-floor windows. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to £50. it will not be up to the drivers to make sure youwear your belt. But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you reversing your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear you seat belt. Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it.21. This text is taken from ________.A) a medical magazineB) a police reportC) a legal documentD) a government information booklet(D)22. Wearing a seat belt in a vehicle ________.A) reduces road accidents by more than halfB) saves lives while driving at a speed up to 30 miles per hourC) reduces the death rate in traffic accidentsD) saves more than 15,000 lives each year(C)23. It is the driver’s responsibility to ________.A) make the front seat passenger wear a seat beltB) make the front seat children under 14 wear a seat beltC) stop children riding in the front seatD) wear a seat belt each time he drives(B)24. According to the text, which of the following people riding in the front dos not have to wear a seat belt?A) Someone who is backing into a parking space.B) Someone who is picking up the children from the local school.C) Someone who is delivering invitation letters.D) Someone who is under 14.(A)25. For some people, it may be better ________.A) to wear a seat belt for health reasonsB) not to wear a seat belt for health reasonsC) to get valid medical certificate before wearing a seat beltD) to pay a fine rather than wear a seat belt(B)Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能) and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does notcontract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed I some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds. Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age—using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,”he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t relyon pocket calculators.”26. The team of doctors wanted to find out ________.A) why certain people age sooner than othersB) how to make people live longerC) the size of certain people’s brainsD) which people are most intelligent(A)27. On what are their research findings based?A) A survey of farmers in northern Japan.B) Tests performed on a thousand old people.C) The study of brain volumes of different peopleD) The latest development of computer technology.(C)28. The doctor’s test show that ________.A) our brains shrink as we grow olderB) the front section of the brain does not shrinkC) sixty-year-olds have the better brains than thirty-year-oldsD) some people’s brains have contracted more than other people’s(D)29. The word “subjects” in Paragraph 5means ________.A) something to be consideredB) branches of knowledge studiedC) persons chosen to be studied in an experimentD) any member of a state except the supreme ruler(C)30. According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than the others?A) Lawyers.B) Farmers.C) Clerks.D) Shop assistants.(A)Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.On June 17, 1744, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day the refused the offer as follows:We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if your ideas of this kind of education happen not t be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods… they were totally good for nothing.We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send up a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them.31. The passage is about ________.A) the talk between the Indians and the officialsB) the colleges of northern provincesC) the educational values of the IndiansD) the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteenth century (C)32. The Indians’ chief purpose in writing the letter seems to be to ________.A) politely refuse a friendly offerB) express their opinion on equal treatmentC) show their prideD) describe Indian customs(A)33. According to the letter, the Indians believed that ________.A) it would be better for their boys to receive some schoolingB) they were being insulted by the offerC) they knew more about science than the officialsD) they had a better way of educating young men(D)34. Different from the officials’ view of education, the Indians though ________.A) young women should also be educatedB) they had different goals of educationC) they taught different branches of scienceD) they should teach the sons of the officials first(B)35. The tone of the letter as a whole is best described as ________.A) angryB) pleasantC) politeD) inquiring(C)Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the earth’s postwar era, there was quite a wide-spread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrongbuttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction (失误).Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.Questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.36. What is the main purpose of this passage?A) To look back to the early days of computers.B) To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.C) To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.D) To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.(D)37. According to the passage, the initial concern about computers was that they might ________.A) change our personal livesB) take control of the worldC) create unforeseen problemsD) affect our businesses(B)38. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to ________.A) be reasonably doubtful about themB) check all their answersC) substitute them for basic thinkingD) use them for business purposes only(A)39. The passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is ________.A) challengingB) psychologicalC) dramaticD) fundamental(B)40. It can be inferred from the passage that the author would disapprove of ________.A) investment in computersB) the use of one’s internal computerC) double-check on computersD) complete dependence on computers for decision-making(D)。

Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life.”It follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but aounting.Interest in teaching, social servi ___ and the “altruistic” fields is at a low. On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and puter scien ___ is way up.That’s no surprise either. A friend of mine (a sales representative for a chemical pany) was ___ twi ___ the salary of her college instructors her first year on the job-even before she pleted her two-year associate degree.While it’s true that we all need a career, it is equally true that our civilization has aumulated an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed from our own and that we are better for our understanding of these other contributions m be they scientific or artistic. It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More important, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs.Weekly we read of unions who went on strike for higher wages, only to drive their employer out of business. No pany; no job. How shortsighted in the long run!But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the aumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense. I saw a cartoon re ___ntly which shows a group of busines ___en looking puzzled as they sit around a conferen ___ table; one of them is talking on the inter (对讲机): “Miss Baxter,” he says, “could you please send in someone who can distinguish right from wrong?”From the long-term point of view, that’s what education really ought to be about.16. Aording to the author’s observation, college students _______.A) have never been so ___terialistic as todayB) have never been so interested in the artsC) have never been so financially well off as todayD) have never attached so much importan ___ to moral sense17. The students’ criteria for selecting ___jors today have much to do with _______.A) the influen ___s of their instructorsB) the financial goals they seek in lifeC) their own interpretations of the coursesD) their understanding of the contributions of others18. By saying “While it’s true that ... be theyscientific or artistic” (Lines 1-3, Para. 5), the author means that _______.A) business ___nagement should be included in educational programsB) hu ___n wisdom has aumulated at an extraordinarily high speedC) hu ___n in ___ectual development has reached new heightsD) the importan ___ of a broad education should not be overlooked19. Studying the diverse wisdom of others can ________.A) create varying artistic interestsB) help people see things in their right perspectiveC) help improve connections among peopleD) regulate the behavior of modern people20. Which of the following statements is true aording to the passage?A) Busines ___en absorbed in their career are narrow-minded.B) Managers often find it hard to ___ right from wrong.C) People engaged in technical jobs lead a more rewarding life.D) Career seekers should not focus on immediate interests only.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:New technology links the world as never before. Our pla has shrunk. It’s now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or sa ___ite link. And. of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech munications equipment is greatly enhan ___d by foreign language skills.Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern___rkets, suess overseas often helps support domestic business efforts.Overseas assig ___ents are being increasingly important to advan ___ment within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be surethat the overseas effort is ___ntral to the pany’s planfor suess, and that promotions often follow or aompany anassig ___ent abroad. If an employee can sueed in adifficult assig ___ent overseas, superiors will have greater confiden ___ in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are being more and more prevalent (普遍的).Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive munications devi ___s with business applications, even s ___ll businesses in the United States are able to get into international ___rkets.English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equalThe employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward___rtain negotiations, and cam have the cultural insight toknow when it is better to move more slowly.

With the increased use of high-tech munications equipment, businesspeople ______.A) have to get familiar with modern technologyB) are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operationsC) are attaching more importan ___ to their overseas businessD) are eager to work overseas23.

Foreign travel is a national passion; this summer alone,one in 10 citizens will go abroad. Exposed to higher standards of servi ___ elsewhere, Israelis are returning home expecting the same. American firms have also begun arriving in large numbers. Chains such as KFC, McDonald’s and Pizza Hut are setting a new standard of customer servi ___, using strict employee training and constant monitoring to ensure the friendliness of frontline staff. Even the American habit of ___ing departing customers to “Have a ni ___ day” has caught on all over Israel. “Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, ‘Let’s be ni ___r,’” saysItsik Cohen, director of a consulting firm. “Nothing happens without petition.”Privatization, or the threat of it, is a motivation as well. Monopolies (垄断者) that until re ___ntly have been free to take their customers for granted now fear what Michael Perry, a ___rketing professor, calls “the revengeful (报复的) consumer.” When the gover ___ent opened up petition with Bezaq, the phone pany, its international branch lost 40% of its ___rket share, even while offering petitive rates. Says Perry, “People wanted revenge for all the years of bad servi ___.” The electricpany, whose monopoly ___y be short-lived, has suddenly mopped requiring users to wait half a day for a repair___n.

Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Media Selection for AdvertisementsAfter determining the target audience for a product or service,advertising agencies must select the appropriate media for the advertisement. We discuss here the major types of media used in advertising. We focus on attention on seven types of advertising:television,newspapers,radio,magazines,out-of-home,Internet,and direct mail.TelevisionTelevision in an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers mass audiences to advertisers. When you consider that nearly three out of four Americans have seen the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?you can understand the power of television to communicate with a large audience. When advertisers create a brand,for example,they want to impress consumers with the brand and its image. Television provides an ideal vehicle for this type of communication. But television is an expensive medium,and not all advertisers can afford to use it.Television’s influence on advertising is fourfold. First,narrowcasting means that television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience. the Golf Channel,for instance,is watched by people who play golf. Home and Garden Television is seen by those interested in household improvement projects. Thus,audiences are smaller and more homogeneous (具备共同特点) than they have been in the past. Second,there is an increase in the number of television channels available to viewers,and thus,advertisers. This had also resulted in an increase in the sheer number of advertisements to which audiences are exposed. Third,digital recording devices allow audience members more control over which commercials they watch. Fourth,control over programming is being passed from the networks to local cable operators and satellite programmers.NewspapersAfter television,the medium attracting the next largest annual as revenue is newspapers. The New York Times,which reaches a national audience,accounts for $1 billion in ad revenue annually. It has increased its national circulation (发行量) by 40% and is now available for home delivery in 168 cities. Locally,newspapers are the largest advertising medium.Newspapers are a less expensive advertising medium than television and provide a way for advertisers to communicate a longer,more detailed message to their audience than they can through television. Given new production techniques,advertisements can be printed in about 48 hours,meaning newspapers are also a quick way of getting the message out. Newspapers are often the most important form of news for a local community,and they develop a high degree of loyalty from local readers.RadioAdvertising on radio continues to grow. Radio is often used in conjunction with outdoor bill-boards (广告牌) and the Internet to reach even more customers than television. Advertisers are likely to use radio because it is a less expensive medium than television,which means advertisers can afford to repeat their ads often. Internet companies are also turning to radio advertising. Radio provides a way for advertisers to communicate with audience members at all times of the day. Consumers listen to radio on their way to school or work,at work,on the way home,and in the evening hours.Two major changes—satellite and Internet radio—will force radio advertisers to adapt their methods. Both of these radio forms allow listeners to tune in stations that are more distant than the local stations they could receive in the past. As a result,radio will increasingly attract target audiences who live many miles apart.MagazinesNewsweeklies,women’s titles,and business magazines have all seen increases in advertising because they attract the high-end market. Magazines are popular with advertisers because of the narrow market that they deliver. A broadcast medium such as network television attracts all types of audience members,but magazine audiences are more homogeneous. If you read Sports Illustrated,for example,you have such in common with the magazine’s other readers. Advertisers see magazines as an efficient way of reaching target audience members.Advertisers using the print media—magazines and newspapers—will need to adapt to two main changes. First,the Internet will bring larger audiences to local newspapers. These audiences will be more diverse and geographically dispersed (分散) than in the past. Second,advertisers will have to understand how to use an increasing number ofmagazines for their target audiences. Although some magazines will maintain national audiences,a large number of magazines will entertain narrower audiences.Out-of-home advertisingOut-of-home advertising,also called place-based advertising,has become an increasingly effective way of reaching consumers,who are more active than ever before. Many consumers today do not sit at home and watch television. Using billboards,newsstands,and bus shelters for advertising is an effective way of reaching these on-the-go consumers. More consumers travel longer distances to and from work,which also makes out-of-home advertising effective. Technology has changed the nature of the billboard business,making it a more effective medium than in the past. Using the digital printing,billboard companies can print a billboard in 2 hours,compared with 6 days previously. This allows advertisers more variety in the types of messages they create because they can change their messages more quickly.InternetAs consumers become more comfortable with online shopping,advertisers will seek to reach this market. As consumers get more of their news and information from the Internet,the ability of television and radio to get the word out to consumers will decrease. The challenge to Internet advertisers is to create ads that audience members remember.Internet advertising will play a more prominent role in organizations’ advertising in the near future. Internet audiences tend to be quite homogeneous,but small. Advertisers will have to adjust their methods to reach these audiences and will have to adapt their persuasive strategies to the inline medium as well.Direct mailA final advertising medium is direct mail,which uses mailings to consumers to communicate a client’s message. Direct mail includes newsletters,postcards,and special promotion. Direct mail is an effective way to build relationships with consumers. For many businesses,direct mail is the most effective form of advertising.1. Television is an attractive advertising medium in that ________.A) it has large audiencesB) it appeals to housewives C) it helps build up a company’s reputationD) it is affordable to most advertisers2. With the increase in the number of TV channels,________.A) the cost of TV advertising has decreased B) the number of TV viewers has increasedC) advertisers’ interest in other media has decreasedD) the number of TV ads people can see has increased3.

Magazines are seen by advertisers as an efficient way to _______.A) reach target audiencesB) appeal to educated people C) attract diverse audiencesD) convey all kinds of messages6.

I had been abroad a couple of times,but I could hardly _47_ to know my way around the continent. Moreover,my knowledge of foreign languages was _48_ to a little college French.I hesitated. How would I,unable to speak the language,_49_ unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems,set up _50_ and do research?It seemed impossible,and with considerable _51_ I sat down to write a letter begging off. Halfway through,a thought can through my mind:you can learn if you don’t try. So I accepted the assignment.There were some bad _52_. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler.

We will argue over it and may even,as a nation,make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem,the less likely they are to be observed.Al Gore calls globa l warming an “inconven ient truth,” as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to asolution. But the real truth is that we don’t know enough to relieve global warming,and –without major technological breakthroughs—we can’t do much about it.From to 2050,the world’s population is projected to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion,a 42% increase. If energy use per person and technology remain the same,total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (mainly,CO2) will be 42% higher in 2050. but that’s too low,because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unless we condemn the world’s poor to their present poverty and freeze everyone else’s living standards. With modest growth,energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050.No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage,driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still,politicians want to show they’re “doing something.” Consider the Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书). It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn’t. But it hasn’t reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990),and many signatories (签字国) didn’t adopt tough enough policies to hit their - targets.The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster,the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it.The trouble with the global warming debate i s that it has become a moral problem when it’s really an engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we don’t solve the engineering problem,we’re helpless.57. What is said about global warming in the first paragraph?A) It may not prove an environmental crisis at all.B) It is an issue requiring world wide commitments. C) Serious steps have been taken to avoid or stop it.D) Very little will be done to bring it under control.58. According to the author’s understanding,what is Al Gore’s view on g lobal warming?A) It is a reality both people and politicians are unaware of.B) It is a phenomenon that causes us many inconveniences.C) It is a problem that can be solved once it is recognized.D) It is an area we actually have little knowledge about.59. Green house emissions will more than double by 2050 because of _______.A) economic growthB) the widening gap between the rich and poor C) wasteful use of energyD) the rapid advances of science and technology60. The author believes that,since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol,________.A) politicians have started to do something to better the situationB) few nations have adopted real tough measures to limit energy useC) reductions in energy consumption have greatly cut back global warmingD) international cooperation has contributed to solving environmental problems61. What is the message the author intends to convey?A) Global warming is more of a moral issue than a practical one.B) The ultimate solution to global warming lies in new technologyC) The debate over global warming will lead to technological breakthroughs.D) People have to give up certain material comforts to stop global warming.Passage TwoSomeday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Websites you’v e visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchase or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact,it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission?It might be a spouse,a girlfriend,a marketing company,a boss,a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is,they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen — the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy,that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends,family and lovers in stages,at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are,where you are and what you like. In some cases,a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not,increasingly we live in a world where you simple cannot keep a secret.The key question is:Does that matter?When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy,most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy,with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away,and that bothers me.”But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券).But privacy does matter – at least sometimes. It’s like health:When you have it,you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.62. What does the author mean by saying “the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked ”(Lines 3-4,Para.2)?A) People’s personal infor mation is easily accessed without their knowledge.B) In the 21st century people try every means to look into others’ secrets.C) People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.D) Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.63. What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?A) Friends should open their hearts to each other.B) Friends should always be faithful to each other. C) There should be a distance even between friends.D) There should be fewer disputes between friends.64. Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simple cannot keep a secret” (Line 5,Para.3)?A) Modern society has finally evolved into an open society.B) People leave traces around when using modern technology.C) There are always people who are curious about others’ affairs.D) Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities.65. What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?A) They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.B) They use various loyalty cards for business transactions.C) They rely more and more on electronic devices. D) They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.66. According to the passage,privacy is like health in that ________.A) people will make every effort to keep itB) its importance is rarely understood C) it is something that can easily be lostD) people don’t cherish it until they lose itPart V Cloze (15 minutes)Universities are institution that teach a wide variety of subjects at advanced levels.

6月英语四级答案及解析完整版(沪江网校版)06月大学英语四级考试完整版答案及解析Part I Writing原则版Doing Shopping OnlineWith the development of the Internet,shopping is no longer a tiring thing. Just click your mouse to choose the articles you like,and the purchase is done. You don't even have to step out of the room. It seems all easy and quick.However,people's opinions vary on this trend. Some believe that on line shopping is time and money saving. With plentiful selection options,they can buy whatever they like at any time convenient. Still others insist that mis-purchasing alone is annoying enough,not to mention the credibility of the sellers and the safety of their accounts.In my opinion,the convenience and excitement of on line shopping is beyond all doubts. In the meantime,we must always bear in mind that certain traps do exist,so we'd better make sure the sellers are trustworthy before buying. In addition,we should also guard ourselves from the potential hackers who might steal our account information.文章点评:这是一篇“中档偏上”学生作文。

Passage Two Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. Exercise is one of the few factors with a
positive role in long-term ___intenan ___ of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to "light" beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. The Centers for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight ___s who were trying to shed pounds said they were bining exercise with their ___t.

much by caloric-expenditure charts; for example, one would have to briskly&nbs

In a year’s time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distan ___ of your walks gradually and ___ other ___tary adjustments, you ___y lose even more weight.
