TranslationPart I Writing1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the following topic. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. Companies should encourage old employees(55 years old)to retire, in order to give opportunities to the new generation. To what extent do you agree or disagree?正确答案：Companies Should Encourage Old Employees to Retire Nowadays, a large number of employees who are more than 55 years old must retire because of the company policy; therefore, many people think that the development of a company cannot be separated from the number of young employees. I approve of this viewpoint based on the following reasons. The main reason is that plenty of young employees mean that the company is infused with lots of fresh blood. With the development of technology, more and more new technological products have been developed. The new generation masters advanced technology and have the energy to explore. Another reason is that old employees cannot adapt themselves to the fast pace. Old employees find it difficult to learn new things rapidly. So old employees are not a patch on young employees, which means not only intellect but also physical strength. Last but not the least reason is that old employees have already worked for more than half of their lifetime; they have paid out too much in order to look after their families and careers, hence, they should retire to enjoy life. In conclusion, old employees shouldn’t continue working for themselves. Moreover, advancement of society needs a new generation.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文：M: Hello, Mrs. White, what can I do for you? W: I don’ t know what’s the matter with me?

大学英语四级(2013年12月考试改革适用)模拟试卷150(题后含答案及解析)

大学英语四级（2013年12月考试改革适用）模拟试卷150(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. Writing 2. Listening Comprehension 3. 4. Reading Comprehension 5. TranslationPart I Writing1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay. You should start your essay with a brief account of student’s increasing reliance on technology to solve problems, and then explain the consequence of over-dependence on it. You should write at least120 words but no more than 180 words. “You have to solve this problem by yourself. You can’t call tech support.”正确答案：Technology Can’t Solve Every Problem As shown in the picture, a kid is trying to get the answer of a simple calculation from his smart phone. Unfortunately, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Students rely so much on technology to solve problems these days that they seek answers from Internet for their daily homework, examination and even graduation paper that needs deep thought and critical thinking. Though technology has brought much convenience to us, overuse of it, especially for students, does more harm than good. First, the “Google has it all” notion tempts student into laziness, and leads to their loss of basic skills. For example, many students now can’t spell correctly “thanks to”the spelling checking software. Second, technology can’t teach students critical thinking. Solving practical problems is far more complicated than copy-and-paste. Q and A websites don’t tell us the exact solution for every problem, and students need to learn the ability to think and analyze instead of copying the information technology mechanically provides. Advanced technology is certainly a blessing for students. Nevertheless, once overused, it can become a devil that kills our diligence and creativity.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文：W: We’ve already bought an oven, a washing machine, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator. We don’t have much money left, do we? M: There’s still more than enough money for you to buy kitchen equipment.

大学英语四级（2013年12月考试改革适用）模拟试卷80(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. Writing 2. Listening Comprehension 3. 4. Reading Comprehension 5. TranslationPart I Writing1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then express your views on the secret to happiness. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.”The secret to happiness is to blame other people for your troubles. “正确答案：The Secret to Happiness As is shown in the picture, after a long trip a young man finally gets the secret to happiness from an old man, that is, “to blame other people for your troubles”, which was quite beyond his expectations. I strongly disapprove of this negative attitude towards life and happiness. In my opinion, the secret to happiness is to stop blaming others and bravely face up to our own problems. There is no blame, complaints or regrets on the road to happiness, let alone blaming others for your own problems, which is a kind of disgraceful coward behavior. People make mistakes. A courageous man faces up to his own faults and takes responsibility when things go wrong. Of course he will get applause and happiness in return in that only a man of integrity deserves happiness and blessing. Furthermore, blame is to happiness what poison is to human. One cannot obtain happiness unless he stops blaming others, which might lead to misunderstanding, anger, and even hatred. In short, happiness is the ever-lasting pursuit of mankind, easy to obtain and equal to everyone. Just stop blaming others and tell them it’s no big deal because you can handle it.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文：W: I’m glad that you win the singing contest. The award money may enable you to travel around Africa this autumn.M: I wish I could, but I have to save the money to pay for my daily bills for the next year. You know how expensive things are nowadays.Q: What does the man imply?2．A．He has decided how to spend his money.B．He has no idea about the cost of living.C．He has already saved enough money to go around Africa.D．He has decided to use the money to pay his tuition next year.正确答案：A解析：女士提到男士在歌唱比赛中获胜所得的奖金可以供他今年秋天周游非洲了，男士则说他必须把钱省下来作为明年的生活费用，因为现在的生活成本太高了。

At a recent festivalof pop-music in the Isle of Wight, crowds of teenagers flocked to listen totheir favorite singers and musicians. They went with single railway tickets andslept in the open, a very risky thing to do in the climate of Britain, even inAugust. They were packed together like sardines for four days. There wereinnumerable thieves, a gang of roughs tried several times to break things up,and police were everywhere. At the end of the festival many young fans foundthemselves broke, with no money left, and they had difficulty in getting backhome. Most people would consider these conditions a nightmare of discomfort;the fans appeared to enjoy it all enormously.Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large tracts ofopen un-spoilt country, where people with more traditional tastes can go forquiet, and for the sense of freedom they derive from contact with nature. Inthe national parks especially, modem development of housing and industry isstrictly controlled. Visitors may walk for miles through landscape of thegreatest beauty and wildness, and often of considerable historic or scientific interest.Along the coasts of some of the maritime counties, public pathways have beencreated; these paths stretch for many miles along cliffs that look out on theAtlantic Ocean or the English Channel. Another path,lying inland, goes alongthe range of mountains in the north of England. It is called the Pennine Way.Here, the long-distance walker and the nature-lover can find much to enjoy,without feeling disturbed by large numbers of their fellows.Yet few people make full use of the national parks established foreveryone's benefit. The commonest thing nowadays is for family groups to motorout to a beautiful spot and park their cars in a lay-by ( 英国的路旁停车带). A picnic basket isproduced, along with a folding table and chairs, a kettle and a portable stove.They thensettle down to a picnic in the lay-by beside the car. Apparentlytheir idea of enjoyment is to get into the fresh air and amongst the countrysights and sounds without having to walk a yard. They seem almost to like tohear and to smell the traffic.57.

For questions 8-20, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Community College SqueezeEighteen-year-old Jenna Tibbitts has a near-perfect GPA(Grade Point Average), and her parents can afford to send her to the four-year university of her choice. But the New Jersey senior is opting instead to attend nearby Atlantic Cape Community College on a scholarship for two years before transferring to a four-year school so that she can reduce the overall cost of her education. "It just makes more sense," Tibbitts says.Similarly, Sarah Tibbling, 18, an honor student from Vernon, N.J., plans to attend Sussex County Community College next fall,a move she sees as a stepping-stone on the way to getting her degree at a four-year institution. "Community college is more popular with students these days," she says, and that's reduced some of the negative stigma (污名)." It's no longer considered a place for lower-level students."Like Tibbling and Tibbitts, high-achieving high-school graduates nationwide are increasingly putting four-year institutions on hold and enrolling at community colleges for part of their education. According to a survey from the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, nearly one-fifth of private colleges and universities reported a smaller than anticipated freshman class this fall. At the same time, the American Association of Community Colleges reports that community-college enrollment rose 8 to 10 percent. That's not unexpected--community-college enrollment usually climbs during a down economy as newly unemployed workers look to get additional training. But normally, the age of the average student rises, whereas this time around, the average age on campus has remained low because there are so many more traditional-aged students, say administrators. "The segment of fresh high-school graduates is growing fast," says Anson Smith, public relations coordinator for Housatonic Community College in Bridgeport, Conn.Community-college administrators are thrilled to attract top performers,but they also worry that the influx (涌进) of students who can afford other options is squeezing out the disadvantaged students such schools were built to serve. Most community colleges have open admission--no SAT(Scholastic Aptitude Test)or GPA required--but classroom slots fill up on a rolling basis. "Unfortunately for students who can't make plans in advance, they will get to the doors and find out there is no room," says Northern Virginia Community College President Robert Templin. Many students typically register for classes later on because they're unprepared to navigate the system, he says, and they're often first-generation college students or coming from underperforming high schools. While administrators like Templin have made efforts to reach out to less-advantaged students earlier in high school,he says it's difficult to offer individualized support to a burgeoning (生机勃勃的) prospective student population. "Many community-colleges administrators are very fearful that middle class students will come and squeeze out poorer and moderate-income students," he says.At most schools, the pressure is mounting. Community-college enrollment spiked this fall, but the schools were already experiencing a trend of increased enrollment. From 2000 to 2006, enrollment grew 10 percent, according to the most recent data from the National Center for Education Statistics. George Boggs, president of the American Association of Community Colleges, attributes the growth to changes in the general perception of community colleges. "Our reputation has continued to improve," he says. According to a 2008 report from the Department of Education, the proportion of high-school seniors with high standardized-test scores and strong overall qualifications enrolling in community colleges has grown since 1992.The report also found that two-thirds of students who apply to community colleges intend to go on to earn a four- year degree at another institution. Still, some college counselors remain wary about advising high-performing students to take this route. "The community college may not be a good academic fit for all students," says Bob Bardwell, a guidance counselor in Monson,Mass. "Some complain it's not challengingenough." Furthermore, he adds, students often find it's not as easy to transfer into the four-year schools they want as they might have thought.But just when their profile is improving and demand is climbing, community colleges are seeing their resources disappear. The struggling economy has prompted state and local government, the main revenue source for most community colleges, to cut back on budgets, which means freezing new hires and slashing class sections. "The funding gets cut at the worst possible time," says Boggs. According to a 2007 survey conducted by the National Council of State Directors of Community Colleges, 16 states reported that they lacked the capacity to meet the projected community- college needs of high-school graduates in their states. Leo Chavez, president of Sierra College in Rocklin, Calif., is bracing for further budget cuts, though he already had to turn away many prospective students this fall. "We have students coming to us in droves," he says."It's really a crisis. Applications are rising dramatically and, at the same time, we are reducing what we can offer."As is the case nationwide, in California, applications are already pouring in for the fall 2009 semester; the state's Community College League estimates that up to 250,000 students will have to be turned away. Simone The lemaque, 24, of Palo Alto,Calif. ,knows that frustration firsthand. She worked as a waitress to save enough money for classes at nearby Foothill College. But when she went to register in July, two months before the start of the semester, she was already too late. Her math and English classes were already at capacity. "It's really discouraging," she says. Unlike some other students,she can't afford to take classes anywhere else. But Thelemaque hasn't given up. She's hoping to get the classes this upcoming semester and if she can't, she'll try again next year. She's determined to get a college degree, because it's what she needs to get her dream job:she wants to be a teacher.1.Why does Jenna Tibbitts choose to attend Atlantic Cape Community College first instead of the four-year university'?A) She has a near-perfect GPA. B) Her parents are worried about her safety.C) She wants to reduce the cost. D) She is not ready to go to university.2.What does Sarah Tibbling say about community college?A) It's just a stepping-stone to society.B) It's more popular than a four-year institution.C) It's the only way to getting a higher degree.D) It was once considered a place for poor-achieving students. 3.What did the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities find about some private colleges and universities?A) Their enrollments decrease.

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank followingthe passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre .You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Species can respond to global warming in two ways: adapt and survive, or die. Biologists foresee climate change driving many species to (47) over the next century,especially those that are unable to adjust (48) enough. Plants and animals evolved to (49) in specific ecological environment, and while some may adapt to new environments--and many have already--for many others, it will take time. But the changes driven by human-generated greenhouse gases may be coming on too fast.That's exactly what appears to be happening with the worldwide lizard (蜥蜴) population. A few years ago, a team of herpetologists (爬虫学家) first noticed a suspicious pattern of extinctions among populations of European lizards. At the time,it wasn't (50) why they were dying--it could have been global warming,but it also could have been disease or loss of habitat. So researchers set out to get the hard evidence, ultimately launching a global study that (51) drew in more than two dozen scientists from around the world.The results,appearing in the May 14 issue of Science, are (52) :populations of lizards have been lost on five continents over the past few decades, and based on these extinction patterns--and the current (53) of global warming--scientists (54) that by 2080 nearly 40% of all lizard populations and 20% of lizard species could vanish. Given that lizards are a key (55) of food for many birds, snakes and other animals, and are important predators of insects,the (56) of these animals could have major influence up and down the food chain.A) clear I) predictB) distinguish J) disappearanceC) extinction K) expectD) vividly L) surviveE) eventually M) sourceF) believable N) dramaticG) rapidly O) rateH) originSection BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A ), B), C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage One"Do you know what the most complex mass of protoplasm (原生质) on earth is?"Marian Diamond asks her students on the first day of anatomy class as she casually opens a flowery hatbox and lifts out a preserved human brain. "This mass only weighs 3 lb., and yet it has the capacity to conceive of a universe a billion light-years across. Isn't that marvelous?"Diamond is an esteemed neuroanatomist (神经解剖学家) and one of the most admired professors at the University of California, Berkeley. It would be a privilege for anyone to sit in on her lectures. And, in fact, anyone can. Videos of her popular course are available free online, part of a growing movement by academic institutions worldwide to open their once exclusive halls to all who want to peek inside. In March,YouTube launched an education hub called YouTube Edu, dedicated exclusively to videos from the more than 100 schools--ranging from Grand Rapids Community College to Harvard Business School--that have set up official channels on the site. Liberated from the stew of pop-culture vlogs (视频博客) and silly cat videos, the collection highlights how much free education is out there.The bigger question is, why have colleges started posting all this stuff at no charge? "Schools have always wanted to have their own area where they could be among their peer institutions and help with the discovery of their content," says Obadiah Greenberg,who leads the project at YouTube.The volume of YouTube Edu's content, which includes campus tours and other nonacademic material, can be overwhelming, but the view-count sorting feature helps users quickly locate must-see videos, which they can comment on and rate on a five-star scale.There is clearly a big appetite for all kinds of online lectures. But one of the most interesting consequences of open courseware may be its impact on teachers,who have a new way to get feedback--and exposure."It used to be that research was No. 1. Now people are working harder to be better teachers," Diamond says. Sifting through e-mails, the 82-year-old professor reads overmessages she's saved from students and teachers who watched her lectures from as far away as England and Egypt. "At this time of life, when everybody else is retiring and stepping aside, thinking they've done it all, you're getting this worldwide connection. It's beautiful."57. Why can anyone have the privilege to listen to Diamond's lecture?A) Everyone can have the opportunity to tour around the campus.B) Her university opens its door to all who want to study there.C) Videos of her courses are now available to people online.D) She has been touring around the world to give lectures.58. What do we know about YouTube Edu?A) It is aimed to open lectures to all who want to have a look.B) It helps many schools to set up official channels online.C) Viewers can comment on the videos of courses on the site.D) It is a collection of pop-culture vlogs and fun videos.59.According to Greenberg,colleges post the courses online for free to______.A) claim its status in a particular area B) attract potential studentsC) follow the innovation in education D) share their intellectual property60.According to the passage, how could students find the most popular videos quickly in YouTube Edu?A) By entering the title of the video. B) By referring to the view-count sorting.C) By reading the viewers' comments. D) By using an open courseware.61.What is the positive influence the online video courses have on teachers?A) They can pay more attention to research.B) They can know better about students' responses.C) They can delay their retiring time.D) They can connect worldwide teachers together.Passage TwoAdmit it: at some point in your life, you've been completely obsessed. Obsessed with a particular project perhaps, or a great author,or that hot senior who smiled at you once when you were a freshman. Obsession is common and typically harmless, often a powerful motivator and a source of artistic inspiration. Yet its extremes are also feared and criticized, because they form the foundation for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a disease that has apparently exploded in prevalence in recent decades. How exactly can we reconcile two conflicting notions of the same phenomenon?Perhaps we can't--but we can gain some insight by taking a closer look at society's complex history with obsession, Lennard J. Davis assumes in his new book. Since the 18th century our understanding of obsession has evolved from believing it to be an incurable "madness", thought to afflict a small number of people who were typically poor, to a potentially curable disease afflicting many, including the upper classes.Mental illnesses such as OCD and depression (or at least the tendencies toward them)have practically become a hallmark of passion. This association could partially explain why such illnesses are now so commonly diagnosed, Davis maintains since 1970 diagnoses of OCD have increased at least 40-fold.Davis's book also provides biographies of famous artists and psychiatrists with obsessive tendencies. Those who have a purely scientific interest in OCD, however, may find themselves a little bored at times. However, Davis makes several interesting points. For one thing, he says, the difference between OCD and healthy obsession may simply be self- perception. People with OCD feel they are abnormal and wish they could change; obsessive people who do not have OCD--including people with "obsessive-compulsive personality", considered by psychiatrists to be normal--feel just fine.Considering the close relation between OCD and "healthy obsessions" ,Davis argues that we tend to draw too strong a line between the healthy and the pathological (病态的). Many people have careers that require repetitive-almost obsessive—attention,and most of us take notice of warnings to take careful precautions in our daily routines to stay healthy and protect ourselves. "We suffer from many requirements of modern life that make us focus on one thing, or many single things," Davis writes. OCD, he explains, is simply a subcategory (子范畴) of what we all do every single day.62. How does the author understand obsession?A) It is a popular project that improves people's feeling.B) It is a h~rmless thing that motivates and inspires people.C) It is a kind of mental illness which is fearful and prevalent.D) It is a symptom that will certainly develop into OCD.63.What is Lennard J. Davis's opinion towards the reconciliation of the two notions?A) People are definitely unable to reconcile the two notions.B) People today have to look at the OCD closely.C) It's not difficult to reconcile the two notions.D) People can comprehend them through history observation.64.How do people's views about obsession evolve?A) People nowadays believe obsessions may be generally curable.B) People in the past believed it was madness carried by all classes.C) People in the past believed it was an incurable physical disease.D) People nowadays believe only upper class carry the disease.65.What may be the difference between obsessive people and people with OCD according to Davis?A) People with OCD behave abnormally but think they are normal.B) The two kinds of people just have different self-perceptions.C) People with OCD have obsessive-compulsive personality.D) Obsessive people think they are better than people with OCD.66. What attitude to OCD and healthy obsession should people take in life?A) People should draw a line between OCD and healthy obsession.B) People would better take careful measures to fight OCD.C) People should not make a fuss of obsession.D) People with careers requiring obsessive attention should worry about themselves.Part ⅤClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.There is not much new about people's doubts about organic food. Many are beginning to believe that organic food is not all that it is cracked up to be and they (67) having to pay a premium for it. The British have always (68) price to quality when it comes (69) food, and with no new scandal to (70)our fears and minds,we have reverted (恢复, 重提) to type.The organic movement itself has not helped matters much. There is such an absurd proliferation (增值,繁茂) of (71)licensed to declare products as organic, each with differing (72) for what constitutes organic.There will always be a very small sector of the market which will buy organic products on an ethical (73) , and another which remains convinced by the health arguments,(74)these remain tiny in (75) to the food market as a whole. The conversion of the mass market to the organic way depended on either a) continuing food scares~or b) strongly 76 benefits (77) quality and flavor if it was to ride over the (78) British obsession with price.Well,we have run out of food scares for the time being, and the trouble is that the qualitative differences between organic and non-organic foods are not (79)obvious. There were, are, some splendid products, but far too many were badly (80) , (81) made or simply (82) . The differential in price is not (83) by a visible improvement 84 quality.In the end, (85) ,whether or not the organic sector (86) or fades will not depend on public demand or public skepticism. It will depend on what the supermarkets decide to sell us.67. A) like B) resent C) resemble D) reside68. A) preferred B) liked C) increased D) chose69. A) in B) with C) about D) to70.

In recent years, various epidemics, such as bird flu, swine flu and foot-and-month disease, have appeared to threaten people’s lives. They have brought much trouble to our work and life. It’s high time that we made efforts to prevent their spread. To prevent the spread of infectious diseases, on the one hand, local governments should try their best to clearly inform the public how to Lower the risks of being infected through all types of mass media in time. On the other hand, every individual should also try to keep healthy and strong by exercising regularly, taking sufficient sleep, having nutritious food, and staying away from the crowd. Besides, appropriate hygiene practices, like frequent hand-washing and clothes-changing, should be followed at all times. When governments and individuals work together, I am sure that we can succeed in preventing the spread of epidemics.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文：M: Hi, Sophia.

Oh, and love stories, I never miss one on TV.M: Fondly enough, I don’t like those kinds of films at all. But to come back to this one, I p ersonally didn’t think it was very good .

What class do you go to?W: Car maintenance.M: What night of the week it on?W: Wednesday night.M: And how long does it last?M: Well, it supposed to start at 6, but that’s a bit of problem because people have difficulty getting thro ugh the traffic. So we start at 6: 30 and then it goes on until 9 o’clock.M: And what was your reason for wanting to do the class?W: Well, I just bought my first car and I don’t know anything about cars. So I thought it was a good opportunity to learn. I guess most of the people in the class are in the same situation.M: Um, and what do you actually do? Do you bring the car along to the class?W: Yes, we do. And in the first part of the lesson, the first half hour, the man who runs the class will go though some particular part of the car, and we’ll learn about it. And then we spend the rest of the time, actually working on my own cars, the same problem.M: And how many people are there in the class?W: Mm, I think 16, but 3 quarters of them are women. It’s quite interesting because the man is obviously used to teaching man. And he always starts his sentence by saying, ” Wow, you chaps were slow.” And then he stops and says “Oh, any woman, you ladies, but...ur..”M: Mm..sounds funny.Q:22. What does the woman say about her evening class?23. Why did the woman want to attend to the class?24.What do the people who attend the class do in the first part of the lesson?25. What do we learn about the participants in the class?Section B PassagesPassage 1We don’t choose friends on the basis of how much money they have, of course, but lots of differences can be disturbing to both sides. Aaron, for example, was single, and earns a very good salary. Her friend, Pat, the divorced mother of three, is struggling to make ends meet. “We are both frequent theater-goers,” Aaron explains, “ and I’ll gladly pay for two tickets, just to have Pat’s company at plays in concerts , but she won’t go anywhere unless she can pay her own way. I hate to go a lone, so we both stay home. It all seems so silly.” Pat sees the situation differently. After her unhappy marriage to a man who was trying to control her without considering her wishes and feelings, she says, “ it’s very important to me to carry my own weight. I’m not comfortable in any relationship where all I do is take. ”The difficult situation finally changed when Aaron moved recently. Pat’s children were with their father, so she took a picnic lunch to her friend’s new place, then spent the day helping her unpack and get settled. “ I was so grateful, ” Aarons says, “ but I persuaded Pat to let me return the favour in my own way with season tickets to our little theater group. I think she’s beginni ng to recognize that she contributes as much to our friendship as I do”26. What do we learn about Pat?27. What draws Aaron and Pat together?28. What does Aaron do to return Pat’s favor?29. What do we learn friendship from the passage?Passage 2Sun School in the town of Ashbert in England is a day school for children age 10 to 18.It is based on the value of social equality between students and staff, and has few rules. Sun School believes that the healthy growth of the child is more important than academic success. It offers a variety of lessons and activities for students to choose from and free time for children to follow their own interests. Classes are small, and based on the individual needs of each child. The timetable is fixed. But democratically decided, and students are expected to attend. The weekly school meeting is at the center of the way sun school is organized. It makes all the decisions that affect the school, including rules, the timetable and accepting or rejecting new students and teachers. Participating in these meetings gives the children an understanding of democraticdecision making and helps them develop their skills of argument and persuasion. The most important advantage of the school meeting is that it shows the children that the school is really theirs. They have the right to decide on changes. And the school’s success or failure depends on their decisions and their behavior. Sun School employs no cooking or cleaning staff, These jobs are done by students and teachers. Decorating and simple repairs are also done by students, it is believed that for the school to truly belong to those who use it, they must take responsibility for its maintenance.30. What value is Sun School based on?31. What is characteristic of the school’s decision-making process?32. Why does sun school ask the students to do the maintenance?Passage 3Well, to continue, as I mentioned earlier, there is also research that demonstrates that individuals perform worse, not better, on tasks when other people are there. R.W.Harburt did an interesting experiment. He had his subjects learn a finger maze. This is a game in which you indicate with your finger the way through a complex system of passages or paths. The subjects who had an audience did worse than the subjects who did alone.Now how can we explain these very different results? It seemed very confusing for a long time. Social psychologist, John Roberts, finally cleared up the confusion about why people sometimes perform better and sometimes worse in front of an audience. Roberts found that the presence of an audience facilitates what you already know how to do. That is, if you know what you are doing, having an audience helps you do it better. But if you don’t already know how to do something, you will probably make some mistakes and you will make mistakes for a longer time if you have an audience. That’s exactly what happened to the subjects who were learning the finger maze.So, if you are doing well, having an audience increases the chances that you will continue to do well. If you are doing badly, having an audience increases the chances that you will continue to do badly. Roberts cleverly pointed out that when you are first learning something, you are better off working alone than practicing with other people.33. What did the speaker probably discuss before coming to this part of the talk?34. When does the presence of an audience facilitate your performance according to Roberts?35. What does Roberts think is a better way to learn new things?Section C Compound DictationAmericans today have different eating habits than they had in the past. There is a wide selection of food available. They have a broader knowledge of nutrition, so they buy more fresh fruit and vegetables than ever before. At the same time, Americans purchase increasing quantities of sweets and sodas.Statistics show that the way people live determines the way they eat. American life-styles have changed. There are now growing numbers of people who live alone, single parents and children, and double-income families. These changing life styles are responsible for the increasing number of people who must rush meals or sometimes simply go without them. Many Americans have less time than ever before to spend preparing food. Partly as a consequence of this limited time, over half of all American homes now have microwave ovens. Moreover, Americans eat out nearly four times a week on average. It is easy to study the amounts and kinds of food that people consume. The United States Department of Agriculture and the food industry collect sales statistics and keep accurate records. This information not only tells us what people are eating but also tells us about the changes in attitudes and tastes. Red meat, which used to be the most popular choice for dinner, is no longer an American favorite. Instead, chicken, turkey, and fish have become more popular. Sales of these foods have greatly increased in recent years.。

2013年6月英语四级模拟试卷及答案Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic." One Way to Solve the Problem. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese."1.机动车被看作是空气污染的首要原因2.提出解决这一问题的方法3.并说明原因Part ⅠWritingOne Way to Solve the ProblemTo deal with the air pollution caused by vehicles in cities is a challenging job. My suggestion is to produce vehicles powered by solar energy.Compared with mineral fuels such as gasoline, solar energy is inexhaustible in supply. The growth of cities and increase of vehicles call for more supply of energy, but there is a limit to the reserve of mineral fuels. So solar energy with its endless supply is one of our solutions to energy crisis. The second advantage of solar energy is its cleanliness. Traditional vehicles operating on gasoline give of exhaust, causing damage to human health and polluting the air. From the perspective of environmental protection, solar energy is a much better choice. After the new technology becomes economically feasible, the sky over cities will be brighter, and the air will no longer be a threat to our health.Because of the two benefits of using solar energy as a new fuel, we should spend more money on the research which can make our dream come true.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked E A I, I B 3, I C I and IDa. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.About Story ReaderParents dearly hope their children learn to read well. They also hope their children learn to read quickly and easily, so that they’re ready for the demands put on them by school and the world.Kids want to learn how to read, but they also crave entertainment, whether it’s quiet and passive or dynamic and interactive. The aims of the Story Reader line of electronic books are to entertain children and to introduce them to the processof learning how to read in a gentle and enjoyable way. In this article, we’ll show you how Story Reader works and if it accomplishes that goal.Story Reader is a compact, roughly 12-inch-by-12-inch plastic case (with a carrying handle ) that opens to reveal an actual book that fits snugly into the Reader itself. Story Reader’s core feature is that it "reads" the book aloud to a child as he follows along. The child turns the pages when prompted by the Story Reader or at his own pace.Books have both text and illustrations. The electronic book responds to the child’s wishes. The Story Reader speaks the text for the current page. If the child turns back a few pages, the Reader recognizes that page and reads it again. Kids react well to this interactivity because it instills a sense of cuntrol over the story.There are Three Story Reader ProductsThe basic Story Reader, introduced in 2003, is as described above and is intended for kids three years of age and older.Each book has a small companion cartridge that slides into a port on the case and contains the audio encoded into its memory for the story.The device has a volume control but no on/off switch--a deliberate choice so kids can simply open it up and begin reading. It takes four AAA batteries (or operates on household current with an optional adaptor) and retails for around $20.Find out more information about the more than 60 titles at the Story Reader website.Early in 2006, Publications International, Ltd.--Story Reader’s publisher--introduced My First Story Reader, designed for newborns to kids up to age three. As with the original, a narrator reads the story aloud, this time from a 12-page book made from a heavier paperstock that includes sound effects and music to enliven the experience.My First Story Reader features two play modes, one with narration, the other that asks questions about the images on each page. The child can press any of three buttons to answer basic questions about shapes and colors. The last two pages ofeach My First Story Reader book features a sing-along rhyming melody. My First Story Reader retails for about $20.Late in 2006, Publications International introduced a video version of Story Reader called Story Reader Video Plus for kids up to the age of seven. Retailing for about $35, it combines a stand-alone Story Reader with an "Animated Story Mode"that plays through your television and includes a "Learning Game Mode".The Animated Story Mode works just as it sounds--when you connect it to your television through color-coded cables, the story appears on screen and changes as your child turns the pages. Kids get to the Learning Game Mode by turning to thelast page of the book. There, they can choose from five educational games. While it depends on the story, generally there are pattern games, memory games, and platform games. Similar to Nintendo games like Super Mario Brothers, in a platform game the child uses the included controller to guide him through the environment and conquer obstacles.Story Reader Video Plus isn’t a video game, technically, and Publications International bills the Story Reader line more as electronic books than toys. This reassures many parents, and it’s why Story Reader is sold in bookstores and in the book section of major retailers.What about the Educational Underpinnings of Story Reader?Studies show an alarming decline in reading rates among all age groups in America, especially among the young.Children are bombarded on a daily basis with multiple forms of entertainment that compete with traditional learning.Kids naturally emulate the adults in their lives, and seeing their parents and other family members enjoy reading is a powerful motivator. Establishing and keeping a Read-At-Home Night helps families spend time together and helps form lifelong reading habits in children.Here’s how you do it:· Set aside one night a week in your household and call it "Read-At-Home Hour"--or anything you prefer. Establish a time allotment that works for your family, for example, 30 minutes or an hour.· Minimize interruptions from the TV, computer, and video games--and turn on the telephone answering machine.· Choose one book for the entire family to read aloud together, or encourage individual family members to choose their own books to read quietly. Electronic books can work in this context, as well.· Finally, sit down, relax, and read.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答;8-10题在答题卡1上。

Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1~7, markY (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN)if the information is not given in the passage.For questions 8~10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.The T rouble with T elevisionIt is difficult to escape the influence of television. If you fit the statistical averages, by the age of 20 you will have been exposed to at least 20,000 hours of television. Y ou can add10,000 hours for each decade you have lived after the age of 20. The only things Americans do more than watch television are work and sleep.Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelors degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. Y ou could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, youcould be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn t, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it.The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest,the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate onanything. But television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instantgratification（满意）. It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television s variety becomes a narcotic（麻醉的）, nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic （万花筒般的）exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guidedtour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television, typically, the spans allotted arc on theorder of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps（篡夺；侵占）one of the mostprecious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it.Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constantfear of losing anyone s attention—anyone s. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constantstimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite simply, television operates on the appeal to the short attention span.It is simply the easiest way out. But it has come to be regarded as a given, as inherent in the medium itself; as an imperative, as though General Sarnoff, or one of the other augustpioneers of video, had bequeathed（遗留；传于）to us tablets of stone commanding that nothing in television shall ever require more than a few moments Concentration.In its place that is fine. Who can quarrel with a medium that so brilliantly packages escapist entertainment as a mass marketing tool? But I see its values now pervading this nationand its life. It has become fashionable to think that, like fast food, fast ideas are the way to get to a fast moving, impatient public.In the case of news, this practice, in my view, results in inefficient communication. I question how much of television s nightly news effort is really absorbable and understandable.Much of it is what has been aptly described as “machine gunning with scraps.”I think the technique fights coherence. I think it tends to make things ultimately boring (unless theyare accompanied by horrifying pictures) because almost anything is boring if you know almost nothing about it.I believe that TV s appeal to the short attention span is not only inefficient communication but decivilizing as well. Consider the casual assumptions that television tends tocultivate: that complexity must be avoided, that visual stimulation is a substitute for thought, thatverbal precision is an anachronism. It may be old fashioned, but I was taughtthat thought is words, arranged in grammatically precise.There is a crisis of literacy in this country. One study estimates that some 30 million adult Americans are “functionally illiterate” and cannot read or write well enough to answer thewant ad or understand the instructions on a medicine bottle.Literacy may not be an inalienable human right, but it is one that the highly literate Founding Fathers might not have found unreasonable or even unattainable. We are not only notattaining it as a nation, statistically speaking, but we are falling further and further short of attaining it. And, while I would not be so simplistic as to suggest that television is thecause, I believe it contributes and is an influence.Everything about this nation—the structure of the society, its forms of family organization, its economy, its place in the world—has become more complex, not less. Y et itsdominating communications instrument, its principal form of national linkage, is one that sells neat resolutions to human problems that usually have no neat resolutions. It is allsymbolized in my mind by the hugely successful art form that television has made central to the culture, the 30 second commercial: the tiny drama of the earnest housewife whofinds happiness in choosing the right toothpaste.When before in human history has so much humanity collectively surrendered so much of its leisure to one toy, one mass diversion? When before has virtually an entire nationsurrendered itself wholesale to a medium for selling?Some years ago Y ale University law professor Charles L. Black. Jr. wrote: “… forced feeding on trivial fare is not itself a trivial matter. I think this society is being forced, fed with trivialfare, and I fear that the effects on our habits of mind, our language, our tolerance for effort, and our appetite for complexity are only dimly perceived. If I am wrong, we will havedone no harm to look at the issue skeptically and critically, to consider how we should be residing it. I hope yo u will join with me in doing so.”注意：此部分试题在答题卡1上作答；8~10题在答题卡1上。

恩波大学英语四级模考参考答案Part Ⅰ WritingHoliday EconomyAs we see, the extended holidays have caused unexpected great travel craze and brisk economic activities.But there are many debates on the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of holiday economy. Many people, especially some economists, are in favor of the holiday economy. They believe that tourism based holiday economy has raised consumption and helped to spur the domestic demands. In addition, transportation, catering, hotels and service industries become flourishing during long holidays. However, many others argue that the holiday economy do more harm than good. First, the travel craze puts a heavy burden on the traffic system. Second, thousands of tourists flock to scenic spots causing over crowdedness and safety problems.As to me, I believe the advantages of holiday economy outweigh its disadvantages. After all, holiday economy greatly benefits the development of our overall economy. Besides, consumers can enjoy more colorful commodities and more preferential policies provided by the merchants. But the government should take effective measures to reduce the side effects of holiday economy.Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1. C2. D3. B4.C5. A6. D7.

大学英语四级（2013年12月考试改革适用）模拟试卷105(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. Writing 2. Listening Comprehension 3. 4. Reading Comprehension 5. TranslationPart I Writing1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to unite a short essay entitled Do One Thing at a Time, And Do It Well by commenting on the saying, “I can do many things well at a time if given chances.”You should write at least120 words but no more than 180 words. Do One Thing at a Time, And Do It Well 正确答案：Do One Thing at a Time, And Do It Well Though many of us often boast that “I can do many things well at a time if given chances”, in most cases, we would ultimately mess things up when we really have to handle many things at the same time. Such failure drives us to follow the principle that “do one thing at a time, and do it well”. At first glance, multitasking seems to be productive, but it actually splits our attention, making our work ineffective and unsuccessful. Image a student trying to win an English speech contest, play in the college football team, take an internship and write a graduation thesis in one single term. Rather than getting several things half-done, why not try to get one thing handsomely done? Once we fully concentrate on one thing without distraction, we can finish the task faster and better. And the previous good performance will give us more confidence to move forward, thereby creating a healthy circle. Success doesn’t depend on how many things we have done, but on how well we can get things done.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文：W: Excuse me, where can I find the series Hairy Potter?

TranslationPart I Writing1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then express your views on the impact of social networking websites. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.”I’m the least popular boy in school. I only have 545 Weibo friends!”正确答案：The Impact of Social Networking Websites From the cartoon given above, we can observe that a boy is complaining to his mother that he is the least popular boy in school only because he has a small number of Weibo friends. The recent decade has witnessed an explosive growth in the number of teenage users of social networking websites such as Facebook and Sina Weibo on account of their convenience in contacting old friends as well as making new friends. However, every coin has two sides. Besides the social and entertaining functions, social networking websites have also brought many problems such as personal information security risk among teenagers. Some young people who are addicted to social websites isolate themselves in their virtual world and even have difficulty in communicating with people in real world. In a word, social networking websites pose both opportunities and challenges to our modern life. Only by making reasonable use of them can we best benefit our life and health.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文：M: I much prefer Mrs. Brown’s lessons.

TranslationPart I Writing1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the following topic. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. It is very common in college that many students are absent from the class and some teachers tend not to care about it. What do you think of this phenomenon?正确答案：Should Class Attendance Be Strictly Required in College?(1)When many college students come into a university and begin an independent life for the first time, they are so attracted by the colorful world that attending cl ass is no longer the priority to them. So many people think th at class attendance should be strictly required in college.(2)However, I do not think that there is a necessity to make class attendance mandatory in universities. (3)Among many factors which influence my choice, there are three conspicuous aspects as follows.(4)Firstly, students are no longer children by the time they enter universities. As growing-up adults, they should learn how to manage their time properly and take responsibility for their own actions.(5)Secondly, the knowledge that a college student needs is not limited to books and classes any more. College students should not only put what they have learnt into the social practice, but also learn how to communicate and cooperate with other people outside the campus.(6)Thirdly, some courses in the university are too outdated and useless to attract the students. (7)In conclusion, rather than setting rigid requirement to the class attendance, universities should think about how to reform their curriculum to help their students get prepared for the future life.解析：(1)介绍本文的写作背景，学生上大学之后被缤纷的世界所吸引，因此逃课现象时有发生。

大学英语四级（2013年12月考试改革适用）模拟试卷1(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. Writing 2. Listening Comprehension 3. 4. Reading Comprehension 5. TranslationPart I Writing1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then express your views on generation gap. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.正确答案：Let’s Get to Know and Accept Each Other Generation gaps exist in various times. In the illustration, the boy says to his father that he will allow his father watching cartoons with him only when his father doesn’t ask him to explain the cartoons. The generation gaps seem to be pulled widely apart with the advancement of the times. Therefore, both the seniors and the juniors should take some measures to bridge the gaps. Parents should learn to keep their mind open to the new things around them. In this way, they will keep their ideas fresh, know what their children are experiencing and will have new topics to talk with their children. And patience and tolerance always smooth the communication between parents and children. As to children, they should learn to show their respect and understanding to their parents, for example, explaining the new things patiently to their parents. In conclusion, only by the efforts of both parents and children can we narrow the generation gaps. So let’s start to know and accept each other so that better communications can be promoted.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文：W: Tom, you really must take school more seriously.

大学英语四级考试参考答案Part ⅠWritingAdvantages and Disadvantages of InternetIn the picture a girl is asking a question online. Answers from different netizens differ so greatly that the girl is very confused about whom she should follow. It is becoming a fashion for people to ask questions online when confronting a dilemma．The implication in the drawing can be elaborated as follows. On the one hand，the Internet has provided us with great convenience. For example，we can get knowledge about nearly all aspects on the Internet. On the other hand，with an explosive amount of information on the Internet，it can be difficult to tell good information from bad. For example，teenagers and adolescents may mistake the bad information online as good，the result of which can be rather devastating. In conclusion，it is important for us to take full advantage of Internet to enhance our efficiency and save our time. However，effective steps should be taken to educate people to avoid inappropriate data online so as not to be misguided. Only in this way can the net better serve for our life，study and work．Part ⅡListening ComprehensionSection1—5DCDCC6—10BABBC11—15CADBDSection16—20CBDDC21—25BCADBSection26. hardships27. hatch into28. journey29. rapids30. starved31. still32. covers33. reproduction 34. break forth from35. on their ownPart ⅢReading ComprehensionSection36—40IACOM41—45HFEBJSection46—50DBIEF51—55HLNCJSection56—60BCCDA61—65BABDCPart ⅣTranslationIn 2013，The Nobel Prize for literature was awarded to Alice Munro，82 years old and a Canadian writer，which to a great extent/degree disappointed those people who thought The Nobel Prize preferred the writers whose writings demonstrated/ indicated/ illustrated the political elements.

Why can t Susan go to the concert with Harry？15. What does Connie promise to do？SectionPassage OneSome farmers are having a hard time picking their crops. There are not enough workers to help them with the harvest. One farmer used to grow peaches，but will soon switch to growing almonds. Peaches require more labor to harvest. They are fragile，and must be picked by hand. Machines would damage the ripe peaches. Then the farmer could not sell them. He is using a bulldozer to remove his peach trees. Then he will plant almond trees in their place．Almonds are harvested differently. It does not take as many workers to pick them because a machine shakes thealmond trees. The almonds fall on the ground and then are gathered up. The farmer does not have to hire many workers to pick the almonds off the trees. Some farmers think there are two reasons why there is a shortage of farm workers. One reason is that there are a lot of construction jobs in the area. These jobs pay higher wages. Many workers are taking construction jobs instead of picking fruit. Another reason is that it has become more difficult to cross the border from Mexico into California. Many farm workers come from Mexico. Fewer are able to cross the border in order to work on the fruit farms. One solution might be to allow Mexican workers to work here as guests. That would help them to provide for their family and help farmers harvest their crops. Farmers say that unless things change，more produce will come from other countries. This is because labor is cheaper in other nations than it is in the United States．16. Why will the farmer change to grow almonds？17. What is one of the reasons that there s a shortage of farm workers in California？18. What do farmers say according to the end of the passage？Passage TwoAustralians always take great pride in displaying their mate ship to others. This was built up bit by bit when the first settlers began to explore a living on the vast，wild land. At that time，convicts and free immigrants had to fight together against the changeable nature which could put them on the verge of risks and disasters at any time. For survival s sake，they united closely together to share sufferings and happiness. Gradually，they became good friends who kindly helped each other and often demonstrated cooperation in exploring. Later as more and more lands were explored，people began to scatter in the great interior individually. They no longer had any helpful neighbors nearby. Sometimes，it would be months before they met a passing stranger. Feeling lonely，they would of course be delighted to see each other and greet each other friendly and politely regardless of their background．Nowadays，this mate ship has been extended: when your car breaks down on the highway，especially with an old man or child，passing cars will surely stop to offer help. If your car needs a mechanic，they will seek aids for you in a nearby police station. If，for instance，you are wondering along a street with a worried look on your face，someone may come up to you and ask，“Anything wrong？Can I help you？”When you are found really sick，kind Australians will accompany you to a hospital．19. What can we learn about the ancestors of Australians？20. Why did Australians no longer have helpful neighbors nearby later？21. Which of the following is mentioned to reflect the extended Australian mate ship？Passage ThreeWell，I manage a small branch of a large supermarket，and we lose a lot of money through shoplifting. I have to try to prevent it，or else I ll lose all my profits. A lot of shoplifting is done by young people，teenagers in groups. They do it for fun. They are not frightened，so we have to make it difficult for them. Obviously a supermarket can t have chains or alarms on the goods，so we have store detectives，who walk around like ordinary shoppers，otherwise they ll be recognized. We have big signs up，saying “shoplifters will be prosecuted”，but that doesn t help much. We ve started putting cash desks at all the exits，we ve found we have to do that，or else the shoplifters will walk straight out with things. Of course，that worries the ordinary shopper who hasn t found what he wanted. We also use closed circuit television，but that s expensive. In fact，all good methods of prevention are quite expensive，and naturally they make our prices higher. But it has to be done，otherwise shoplifting itself will make all the prices even higher，and the public doesn t want that! I really hope the measures can take effect．22. What s the speaker s problem？23. Why do the teenagers do shoplifting in the supermarkets，according to the passage？24. Which of the following measures has been taken by the speaker to prevent shoplifting？25. What is the effect of putting the cash desks at all the exits？。
