We understand a port as a center of land-sea exchange, and as a major source of livelihood and a major force for cultural mixing. But do ports all produce a range of common urban characteristics which justify classifying port cities together under a single generic label? Do they have enough in common to warrant distinguishing them from other kinds of cities?A port must be distinguished from a harbor. They are two very different things. Most ports have poor harbors, and many fine harbor see few ships. Harbors is a physical concept, a shelter for ships; port is an economic concept, a center of land-sea exchange which requires good access to hinterland(内地) even more than a sea-linked foreland前陆(与内地相对而言). It is landward access, which is productive of goods for export and which demands imports, that is critical. Poor harbors can be improved with breakwaters(防浪堤), and dredging(挖泥)if there is a demand for port. Madras and Colombo are examples of harbors expensively improved by enlarging, dredging and building breakwaters.Port cities become industrial, financial and service centers and political capitals because of their water connections and the urban concentration which arises there and later draws to its railways, highways and air routes. Water transport means cheap access, the chief basis of all port cities. Many of the world’s biggest cities, for example, London, New York, Shanghai, Istanbul, Buenos Air es, Tokyo, Jakarta, Calcutta, Philadelphia and San Francisco began as ports ― that is, with land-sea exchange as their major function ― but they have since grown disproportionately in other respects so that their port functions are no longer dominant. They remain different kinds of places from non-port cities and their port functions account for that difference.Port functions, more than anything else, make a city cosmopolitan. A port city is open to the world. In it races, cultures, and ideas, as well as goods from a variety of places, mix and enrich each other and the life of the city. The smell of the sea and the harbor, the sound of the boat whistles or the moving tides are symbols of their multiple links with a wide world samples of which are present in microcosm(微观世界) within their own urban areas.Sea ports have been transformed by the advent of powered vessels, whose size and draught have increased. Many formerly important ports have become economically and physically less accessible as a result. By passed by most of their former enriching flow of exchange, they have become cultural and economic backwaters or have acquired the character of museums of the past.Much domestic port trade has not been recorded. What evidence we have suggests that domestic trade was greater at all periods than external trade. Shanghai, for example, did most of its trade with other Chinese ports and inland cities. Calcutta traded mainly with other parts of India and so on. Most of any city’s population is engaged in pro viding goods and services for the city itself. Trade outside the city is its basic function. But each basic worker requires food, housing, clothing and other services. Estimates of the ratio of basic workers to service ones range from 1:4 to 1:8.No city can be simply a port but must be involved in a variety of other activities. The port function of the city draws to it raw materials and distributes them in many other forms. Ports take advantage of the need for breaking up the bulk material where water and land transport meet and where loading and unloading costs can be minimized by refining raw materials or turning them into finished goods. The major examples here are oil refining and ore refining which are commonlySFLEP College English (New Edition) Achievement Test (Band 4) 3located at ports. It is not easy to draw a line around what is and is not a port function. All ports handle, unload, sort, alter, process, repack and reship most of what they receive. A city may still be regarded as a port city when it becomes involved in a range of functions not immediately involved with ships or docks.Cities which began as ports retain the chief commercial and administrative center of the city close to the waterfront. The center of New York is in lower Manhattan between two river mouths, the City of London is on the Thames, Shanghai along the Bund. This proximity to water is also true of Boston, Philadelphia, Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, Singapore, Bangkok and Hong Kong, where the commercial, financial, and administrative centers are still grouped around their harbors even though each city has expanded into a metropolis. Even a casual visitor cannot mistake them as anything but port cities.1. A port is different from a harbor in that harbor is a physical concept, while port is an economicconcept.2.Madras and Colombo were originally poor harbors to be improved later on with breakwaters anddredging.3.Shanghai is as important a port city to China as New York to the United States.4.Many formerly important ports have been rendered economically and financially less accessiblesimply because more sea routes have been discovered.5.The majority of any city’s population deals with manufacturing and farming, while the majorityof the population in those ports are engaged in transportation.6.The port functions including separating the bulk material where water and land transport meetand then refining those raw materials to minimize the loading or unloading costs.7.

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank follow- ing the passage. Readthe passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank isidentified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the center. Y ou may not use any of the words in thebank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.As a bicycle kingdom gearing up to become an automobile society, China, the world's third largest car manufacturing base, is facing a serious problem of automobile-related pollution and soaring levels of petrol 47 .China already 48 third among the world's automobile manufacturing countries, with a voracious(饥渴的) domestic demand that has attracted all major automobile manufacturers to 49 . Statistics from the State Environmental Protection Administration show that China will have 33 million automobiles by 2005 and over 131 million by 2020.As the market 50 , so are serious pollution problems. Vehicles have become the biggest carbon monoxide(一氧化碳) and nitrogen oxide(亚硝酰氯) emitters in big cities like Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. In China's 14 largest cities, air pollution takes its 51 on 50,000 newborn babies and causes 400,000 cases of respiratory(呼吸的) illness every year, according to the Ministry of Science and Technology.Not only do vehicles create stress on the environment and human health, a growing automobile society also threatens to 52 China's oil resources. In 2000, vehicles in China consumed 65.6 million tons of oil, one-third of total demand. This expected to rise to 138 million tons annually by 2010 and 53 for 43 per cent of the nation's total oil demand. This figure projected to rise further to 256 million tons by 2020, accounting for 57 per cent of total demandAs a result, China will depend ever more heavily on oil imports ― since the country's domestic oil reserves are quite limited ―the nation's energy security will be greatly affected and the economical development seriously 54 . China's overall oil demand is 55 to be 450 million8外教社®《大学英语》（全新版）4级学业测试tons annually by 2020, with imports providing more than half. With overcrowded roads and worsening 56 jams, Chinese cities are urgently seeking solutions to the automobile pollutionSection 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 AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.In a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver? I began studying this question and found the answers interesting.One morning I got into three different taxis and announced, “Well, it’s my first day back in New York in seven years. I’ve been prison.” Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. “Yeah, I shot a man in Reno.” I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, but nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghan anian driver, “Reno? That is in Nevada?”Taxi drivers were uniformly(一致地) sympathetic when I said I’d just been fired. “This is America,” a Haitian driver said. “One door is closed. Another is open.” He argued against my plan to burn down my boss’s house: “If you do something silly and they put you away, you cannot look for another job.” A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope: He refused to take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge, a $20 trip. “Why you want to go there? Go home and relax. Don’t worry. Take a new job.”One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red skin mask and holding a stuffed(塞满的) pillowcase with the word “BANK” on it, I tried hailing(招呼) a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up every time. My ride with Guy Caaude Thevenain, a Haitian driver, was typical of the superb(一流的) assistance I received.“Is anyone following us?”“No,” said the driver, looking in his rearview mirror at traffic and me.“Let’s go across the park,” I said. “I just robbed the bank there. I got $ 25,000.”SFLEP College English (New Edition) Achievement Test (Band 4)9“$25,000?” he asked.“Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it?”“No, man. I wo rk 8 hours and I earn just $70. If I can do that, I do it too.”As we approached 86, Lexington Street, I pointed to the Chemical Bank.“Hey, there’s another bank,” I said, “Could you wait here a minute while I go inside?”“No, I can’t wait. Pay me now.” Hi s reluctance may have something to do with money -- taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low, but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support.57. From the Ghanaian driver’s response, we can infer that ________.A) he was not caring about the killingB) he was frightened to hear what the writer saidC) he thought the writer was a criminalD) he thought the writer was crazy58. Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to give the writer a ride ?A) He didn’t want to help the writer get over his career crisis.B) He was in a hurry to go home and relax.C) The place was far away.D) He thought the writer was going to kill himself.59. What is the author’s interpretation of the driver’s reluctance “ to wait outside the ChemicalBank”?A) The driver thought that the rate for waiting time was too low.B) The driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally.C) The driver was frightened and wanted to leave him as soon as possible.D) The driver did not want to help a suspect to escape from a bank robbery.60. Which of the following statements is true about New York taxi drivers?A) They are ready to help you do whatever you want to.B) They refuse to pick up those who would kill themselves.C) They are sympathetic with those who are out of work.D) They work only for money.61. The passage mainly discuss ___________________ .A) how to please taxi ridersB) how to deal with taxi ridersC) the attitudes of taxi drivers towards riders in personal troubleD) the attitudes of taxi drivers towards the government.Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Tight-lipped elders used to say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get.”Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and10外教社®《大学英语》（全新版）4级学业测试each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menus, make a shopping list, and decide which food to cook first and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served.Likewise, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services.This account of yourself is actually a sketch of your working life and should include education, experience and references. Such an account is valuable. It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. While talking to you, your could-be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications will pay him to employ you and your “ware” and abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner.When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell. Then you are ready to hunt for a job. Get all the possible information about your could-be job. Make inquiries as to the details regarding the job and the firm. Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment. Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Securing a job is your job now.62.What do the elders mean when they say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what youget?”A) You’ll certa inly get what you want.B)It’s no use dreaming.C)You should be dissatisfied with what you have.D)It’s essential to set a goal for yourself.63. WA blueprint made before inviting a friend to dinner is used in this passage as________________.A) an illustration of how to write an application for a jobB) an indication how to secure a good jobC) a guideline for job descriptionD) a principle for job evaluation64. According to the passage, one must write an account of himself before starting to find a jobbecause ___________________.A) that is the first step to please the employerB) that is the requirement of the employerC) it enables him to know when to sell his servicesD) it forces him to become clearly aware of himself65. When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something_______________.A) definite to offer B) imaginary to provideC) practical to supply D) desirable to present66. In the author’s standpoint, which of the following items is not among the things that you coulddo after having prepared a blueprint for yourself?SFLEP College English (New Edition) Achievement Test (Band 4)11A) You could gather information about suitable job vacancies in accordance with your blueprint.B) You could find newspaper clippings about the company that is offering your preferred jobs.C) You should make inquiries to the company that are offering jobs or your friends who mayprovide you with some employment information so as to learn the details regarding the job and the firm.D) You should send out your resume to as many companies as possible regardless of thecompany business and job natures.Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONEthat best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2with a single line through the centre.12外教社®《大学英语》（全新版）4级学业测试Part VI Translation (5 minutes)Directions:Complete the sentences on Answer Sheet 2by translating into English the Chinese given in the brackets.87. ______________________ (骄兵必败) is a paraphrase of an ancient Hebrew Proverb, designedto warn that excessive pride will often cause one to fall or fail.88.

Study shows that these conflicts make the excitement of campus life grow grey and have bad effects on both their living and learning.Roommate conflicts often spring from daily trivial things such as time when to turn off the light and space where to store luggage or personal belongings. When personalities don’t mix, the specifics can tear roommates apart and sometimes even lead to serious conflicts. Besides, the fact that roommates hold different attitudes towards certain issue is another factor causing these conflicts.Roommate conflicts are harmful and need to be settled. Though many people think that school discipline can soften the conflicts, I believe learning to be tolerant with each other can play a more constructive role because it teaches students flexibility and the art of compromise. Meanwhile, communication contributes to the solution to this problem since many of these conflicts stem from misunderstanding.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1. Y2. Y3. NG4. N5.

Mother‘s (rather than father‘s) own educational achievements have long been thought to be the key to children‘s progress at school. But government-funded research suggests that mothers can compensate for their lack of exam success if they offer their under-fives activities linked to literacy and numeracy.Researchers from Oxford, Cardiff and London universities, who measured the attainments of65316426.doc 2more than 2,000 children at the ages of three and five, found that their mothers‘education is important in accounting for differences between children. But what the mother did with the child was even more important. Those who talked frequently to their children, who played games with numbers and letters, read to them, took them to the library and taught them songs and nursery rhymes had a significant effect on their attainment both at the ages of three and five. Professor Pam Sammons of London University‘s Institute of Education, said, ―Children‘s progress is not completely determined by social disadvantages. What parents do with children is critically important. Parents who have no educational qualifications can still do many things to help their children. We need to encourage parents, particularly younger ones, to play with children and to talk to them. Sammons said the findings emphasized the importance of policies for supporting families of under-threes, for example, the government‘s Sure Start program. MPs on the Select Committee for Education are investigating early years education. Ministers have provided a nursery, playgroup or school place for every four-year-old, but critics say that too many children are now in school reception classes, which are not equipped for them. There are more staff workers for each child in nurseries than in reception classes. The researchers, comparing children‘s achievements in math and literacy, found that playgroupsand private day nurseries tended to do much less well than nursery schools, which combined education, day care and reception classes.This research is consistent with previous studies that show the benefit of mother play in other areas such as in a child‘s creativity and social development using other devices such as music and toys. Music helps children connect the outer world of movement and sound with the inner world of feelings and observations. Children learn music the same way they learn language – by listening and imitating. Finger play promotes language development, motor skills and coordination, as well as self-esteem. Young children are proud when they sing a song and can do the accompanying finger movements. Listening to music also teaches important pre-reading skills. As youngsters use small drums or other percussion instruments (homemade or store-bought), they can play the rhythmic pattern of words.Babies become social beings through watching their parents, and through interacting with them and the rest of the family and later with others. It is a crucial time to begin teaching by example how people should behave toward one another. Toys that help babies with social development are stuffed animals, animal mobiles and dolls. Even very small babies can socialize with them. The infant will often converse with animal prancing on the crib bumpers or revolving on a mobile. Later, books and opportunities for make-believe and dress-up play also help children to develop social skills.In the beginning, babies‘ hand movements are totally random. But within a few months those tiny hands will move with more purpose and control. A mother has a particularly important role in the development of purposeful movement by giving her baby‘s hands plenty freedom; rather than keeping them swaddled or tucked under a blanket (except outdoor in cold weather). Researchers suggest providing a variety of objects that are easy for small hands to pick up and manipulate, and that don‘t require fine dexterity. And since young babies usually won‘t grasp objects that are directly in front of them, a mother should offer these objects from the side.Researchers suggest that mother give babies ample opportunity for ―hands-on‖ experience with the following:Rattles that fit small hands comfortably. Those with two handles or grasping surfaces allow a baby to pass them from hand to hand, an important skill, and those that baby can put their mouth on will help bring relief when teething begins. 65316426.doc 3They also suggest mothers use cradle gyms (they fit across a carriage, playpen or crib) that have a variety of parts for baby to grab hold of, spin, pull and poke. Beware of those, however, with strings more than six inches long, and take any gym down once your baby is able to sit up.Another useful play device is an activity board that requires a wide range of hand movements to operate, many of which your baby won‘t be able to intentionally maneuver for a while, but some of which even a young infant can set in motion accidentally with a swipe of a hand or foot. Besides the spinning, dialing, pushing, and pressing skills these toys encourage, they also teach the concept of cause and effect.1.Mothers, either well-educated or badly-educated, can help their young children succeedacademically.2.Young babies at all ages benefit from mothers who talk and play games with them.3.Even if a mother has no educational qualifications, she should play and talk with her child.4.There is no shortage of nurseries, playgroup or school places.5.Listening to music can teach children important pre-reading skills.6.Babies can move their tiny hands within a few months after they are born.7.If you give an object to a baby you‘d better not offer it from the side of the baby.1.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕2.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕3. 〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕4.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕5.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕6. 〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕7.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕8.

Each choice in the bank isidentified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.A new study says walking is just as (47) as more difficult exercise in reducing the risk of heart disease in women. It suggests that even (48) amounts of exercise can be good for women‘s health. Federal researchers in the United States (49) the study. The research is part of the federal government‘s Women‘s Health Initiative. Researchers are studying many health questions important to older women.The researchers (50) almost 74,000 women during a six-year period. The women were between the ages of 50 and 79. They answered questions about their activity (51) . The researchers divided the women into five groups, from the (52) activity to themost activity.The study found that fast walking for about two-and-one-half hours a week cut the risk of heart disease (53) one-third. This good effect was about the same in women who spent an (54) amount of time doing more difficult exercise. The good effects (55) as the women spent more time and energy taking part in such exercises.The study also found that sitting in a chair for at least sixteen hours each day could increase the risk of heart disease (56) a person exercised or not. The results were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.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 four choices marked A), B), C) and D).You should decide on the best choic.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.The human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do.The left side of the brain controls language and number; it analyses and reasons. The right side65316426.doc 8controls our imagination; it controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is the right side of our brain which daydreams.Great artists and great scientists are similar. They both use the two sides of their brains. It is well-known that Albert Einstein (1879 –1955), as a great scientist, also enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer‘s day while sitting on a hill. He imagined he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve. He got this idea by using his imagination. He then used the left side of brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.Traditional, established education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. However, we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectly good legs! Then why don‘t we give more value to visual thinking?In fact, we all need both sides of our brains. We need to use our imaginations to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to survive day by day.57. According to the passage, the left side of the brain ________.A) controls language and numberB) controls our imaginationC) daydreamsD) controls our sense of rhythm58. What does the author want to show by using the example of Einstein?A) Great scientists are also great artists.B) The left side of Einstein‘s brain is very powerful.C) Einstein is a genius whose two sides of the brain are strong.D) The two sides of the brain are equally important.59. What do we learn about Einstein from the passage?A) He could play the violin well.B) He said his scientific discoveries are acquired by analysis rather than by daydreaming.C) He was the first person to discover the track of the sun.D) He was disgusted at language.60. What does the author mean by saying ―we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectlygood legs‖ (Para. 4) ?A)We needn‘t hop because we are healthy.B)Only those who have something wrong in their legs can be encouraged to hop.C)It‘s foolish of us to hop when we have two perfectly good legs.D)We should use both sides of the brain.61. The author believes that the right side of our brain is as important as the left side because65316426.doc 9________.A) it controls our appreciation of music and sense of rhythmB) it enables us to make scientific discoveriesC) it is more important to analyze and organize in order to surviveD) the imaginations may provide solutions to problems and enable us to enjoy emotional andartistic experiencesPassage TwoQuestion 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be irritating. If they get excited or upset then they may become more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and straightforward.―Good morning, Mum. This is Fiona, your daughter. It is eight o‘clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs.‖When the elderly person makes confused statements e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: ―You don‘t work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes?‖We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, scrap books, and addresses or shopping list could help in individual case.62. Why can‘t we always keep calm in front of old people?A)Because old people sometimes annoy us.B)Because old people sometimes don‘t understand us.C)Because we are sometimes in a bad mood.D)Because we are sometimes in a hurry.63. What happens to elderly people‘s memory according to the passage?A)Their memory becomes worse and recalls basic things as granted.B)Their memory becomes worse and can‘t remember basic things.C)They can‘t remember their failures.D)They can only remember past failures.64. Paragraph 3 gives an example illustrating ________.65316426.doc10A)how to provide simple, direct informationB) a daughter‘s care for her motherC) a daughter‘s duty to her motherD)the right procedure of helping the old65. Why are old people encouraged to use diaries?A)Because diaries can replace reminder boarders.B)Because diaries are the best way to record important events.C)Because diaries help make up for poor memory.D)Because diaries can label the contents of cupboards.66. What is the main idea of the passage?A)What happens to old people with failing memory.B)How to help old people with failing memory.C)Why old people have poor memory.D)How to improve bad memory.Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

In fact, the Internet is becoming a dominant element in modern life.The advantages of the Internet are very prominent. First, it can transmit information with surprising speed, and thus distances have been shortened. Second, with the Internet, life has become clearer. On-line chatting and various kinds of news give us access to knowledge from every corner of the world. Third, the Internet has completely changed people‘s mode of living. For example, on-line shopping, both convenient and cheap, is becoming more and more popular.However, the Internet has also brought some problems. First, its surprising speed can promote the spread of viruses as well. And virtual space has also provided opportunities for criminal activities. Third, many young people spend time on the Internet which should be devoted to homework.Overall, just as a coin has two sides, the Internet has both good and bad influences. Used wisely, the Internet will contribute to a brilliant future for us.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1.Y2. NG3. Y4. N5. Y6. NG7.

This suggests that politicians who claim environmentalism is yesterday's issue may be seriously misjudging the public mood.A report from Mintel, the market research organization, says that despite recession and financial pressures, more people than ever want to buy environmentally frie ndly products and a “green wave” has swept through consumerism, taking in people previously untouched by environmental concerns. The recently published report also predicts that the process will repeat itself with “ethical” concerns, involving issues such as fair trade with the Third World and the social record of businesses. Companies will have to be more honest and open in response to this mood.Mintel‟s survey, based on nearly 1,000 consumers, found that the proportion who look for green products and are prepared to pay more for them has climbed from 53 per cent in 1990 to around 60 per cent in 1994. On average, they will pay 13 per cent more for such products, although this percentage is higher among women, managerial and professional groups and those aged 35 to 44.Between 1990 and 1994 the proportion of consumers claiming to be unaware of or unconcerned about green issues fell from 18 to 10 percent but the number of green spenders among older people and manual workers has risen substantially. Regions such as Scotland have also caught up with the south of England in their environmental concerns. According to Mintel, an image of green consumerism as associated in the past with the more eccentric members of society has virtually disappeared. The consumer research manager for Mintel, Angela Hughes, said it had become firmly established as a mainstream market. She explained that as far as the average person is concerned environmentalism has not …gone off the boil‟. In fact, it has spread across a much wider range of consumer groups, ages and occupations.Mintel‟s 1994 survey found that 13 per cent of consumers are “very dark green”, nearly always buying environmentally friendly products, 28 per cent are “dark green”, trying “as far as possible” to buy such prod ucts, and 21 per cent are “pale green” —tending to buy green products if they see them. Another 26 per cent are “armchair greens”; they said they care about environmental issues but their concern does not affect their spending habits. Only 10 per cent say they do not care about green issues.Four in ten people are “ethical spenders”, buying goods which do not, for example, involve dealings with oppressive regimes. This figure is the same as in 1990, although the number of' armchair ethical has risen from 28 to 35 per cent and only 22 per cent say they are unconcerned now, against 30 per cent in 1990. Hughes claims that in the twenty-first century, consumers will be encouraged to think more about the entire history of the products and services they buy, including the policies of the companies that provide them and that this will require a greater degree of honesty with consumers.Among green consumers, animal testing is the top issue—48 per cent said they would be deterred from buying a product if it had been tested on animals—followed by concerns regarding irresponsible selling, the ozone layer (臭氧层), river and sea pollution, forest destruction, recycling and factory farming. However, concern for specific issues is lower than in 1990, suggesting thatSFLEP College English (New Edition) Achievement Test (Band 4) 3many consumers feel that government and business have taken on the environmental agenda.1.

When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read forthe second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with theexact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are requiredto fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact wordsyou have just heard or write down the main points in your own words.

It might be called the aggressive approach.(45)_________________________________________________________. Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the job in view.There is no doubt, however, that (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 bank following the passage. Readthe passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank isidentified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.Major tourist attractions include large cities, seashores areas in warm climates and ski 47 . Indeed, it seems that almost any place can become a tourist 48 as long as it is different from the place where the traveler usually lives. Paris may not be a tourist attraction to a Parisian, but for a New Yorker, it may have many 49 . People travel for any number of reasons, and there are numerous attractions that 50 to a wide variety of tastes.In addition to being major business centers, the large cities offer attractions and entertainment for all kinds of people. Cultural events occur 51 including theatrical and operatic 52 , concerts, ballet, and art exhibitions, to name a few. At the 53 end of the scale, there is a greatSFLEP College English (New Edition) Achievement Test (Band 4)7variety of night life in urban centers to choose from, and there is also a wide selection of restaurants. Shopping is an attraction for many visitors, whether in the great department stores of New York and Tokyo or in the boutiques (流行小店)of Paris and London. The big cities also offer a unique atmosphere and history. The flower vendors and cable cars of San Francisco are part of the unusual atmosphere of that city. And in Paris, the Louvre is not only a museum, but also the 54 of important events in French history.One of the advantages of the big cities is their ability to 55 large numbers of tourists. These cities have an existing infrastructure (基础设施)that is capable of caring for the needs of millions of people; and many of the attractions that tourists visit have been developed primarily for the benefit of the inhabitants. Therefore, tourism is an economic plus for many big cities because it increases income from existing 56 , both public and private.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 four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.What might driving on an automated highway be like? The answer depends on what land of system is ultimately adopted. Two distinct types are on the drawing board. The first is a special purpose lane system, in which certain lanes are reserved for automated vehicles. The second is a mixed traffic system: fully automated vehicles would share the road with partially automated or manual driven cars. A special purpose lane system would require more extensive physical modifications to existing highways, but it promises the greatest gains in freeway capacity.Under either scheme, the driver would specify the desired destination, furnishing this information to a computer in the car at the beginning of the trip or perhaps just before reaching the automated highway. If a mixed traffic system way was in place, automated driving could begin whenever the driver was on suitably equipped roads. If special purpose lanes were available, the car could enter them and join existing traffic in two different ways. One method would use a special onramp. As the driver approached the point of entry for the highway, devices installed on8外教社®《大学英语》（全新版）4级学业测试the roadside would electronically check the vehicle to determine its destination and to ascertain that it had the proper automation equipment in good working order. Assuming it passed such tests, the driver would then be guided through a gate and toward an automated lane. In this case, the transition from manual to automated control would take place on the entrance ramp. An alternative technique could employ conventional lanes, which would be shared by automated and regular vehicles. The driver would steer onto the highway and move in normal fashion to a “transition”lane. The vehicle would then shift under computer control onto a lane reserved for automated traffic. (The limitation of these lanes to automated traffic would, presumably, be well respected, because all trespassers (非法进入者) could be swiftly identified by authorities.) Either approach to joining a lane of automated traffic would harmonize the movement of newly entering vehicles with those already traveling. Automatic control here should allow for smooth merging without the usual uncertainties and potential for accidents. And once a vehicle had settled into automated travel, the driver would be free to release the wheel, open the morning paper or just relax.57. We learn from the first paragraph that two systems of automated highways____.A) are being planned B) are being modifiedC) are now in wide use D) are under construction58. A special purpose lane system is probably advantageous in that ______.A) it would require only minor changes to existing highwaysB) it would achieve the greatest highway traffic efficiencyC) it has a lane for both automated and partially automated vehiclesD) it offers more lanes for automated vehicles59. Which of the following is TRUE about driving on an automated highway?A) Vehicles traveling on it are assigned different lanes according to their destinations.B) A car can join existing traffic any time in a mixed lane system.C) The driver should inform his car computer of his destination before driving onto it.D) The driver should share the automated lane with those of regular vehicles.60. We know from the passage that a car can enter a special purpose lane______.A) by smoothly merging with cars on the conventional laneB) by way of a ramp with electronic control devicesC) through a specially guarded gateD) after all trespassers are identified and removed61. When driving in an automated lane, the driver_______.A) should harmonize with newly entering carsB) doesn‟t have to rely on his computer systemC) should watch out for potential accidentsD) doesn‟t have to hold on to the steering wheelPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.SFLEP College English (New Edition) Achievement Test (Band 4)9The process of perceiving other people is rarely translated (to ourselves or others) into cold, objective terms. “She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt.” More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas and characters. Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly—perhaps with a two-second glance.We try to obtain information about others in many ways. Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others: watching, without being noticed, a person interacting with others, particularly with others who are known to you so you can compare the observed person‟s behavior with the known others‟ behavior, observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for, deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person‟s responses to specific stimuli; asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about him or her; and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person—questions, self-disclosures(自我表露), and so on. Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise. You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him. If we accept the idea that we won‟t ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions. It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior. Ironically, those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e.g., secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of a satisfying relationship as the things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e.g., disclosures and truthful statements).62.The word “pinpoint” (Line 3, Para. 1) basically means______.A) appreciate B) obtain C)interpret D) identify63. What do we learn from the first paragraph?A) People are better described in cold, objective terms.B) The difficulty of getting to know a person is usually underestimated.C) One should not judge people by their appearances.D) One is usually subjective when assessing other people‟s personality.64.It can be inferred from Berger‟s suggestions that ______.A) people do not reveal their true self on every occasionB) in most cases we should avoid contacting the observed person directlyC) the best way to know a person is by making comparisonsD) face-to-face interaction is the best strategy to uncover information about a person65. In developing personal relationships, secrets and deceptions, in the author‟s opinion, are_____.A) personal matters that should be seriously dealt withB) barriers that should be done away withC) as significant as disclosures and truthful statementsD) things people should guard against10外教社®《大学英语》（全新版）4级学业测试66. The author‟s purpose in writing the passage is ______.A) to give advice on appropriate conduct for social occasionsB) to provide ways of how to obtain information about occasionsC) to call the reader‟s attention to the negative side of people‟s charactersD) to discuss the various aspects of getting to know peoplePart V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

People have to waste more time on their way home or to work and even might be involved in an accident. With the development of industry and population expansion, this problem becomes more and more serious.One solution is to lay down more roads. The solution has many advantages. For example, it can efficiently decrease the number of buses and trucks in many main streets. But it will take up so much land that crowded cities become even more crowded. Another solution is to open more bus lines. If more bus lines should be opened up, the number of bicycles and cars in the main streets would be greatly decreased. But the disadvantage of this solution is that many people would not feel so convenient as they used to.In my opinion, the right solution to the problem is the combination of the two, that is, to lay down more roads in spacious areas and to open up more bus lines in downtown areas.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1.Y2.

Mother‘s (rather than father‘s) own educational achievements have long been thought to be the key to children‘s progress at school. But government-funded research suggests that mothers can compensate for their lack of exam success if they offer their under-fives activities linked to literacy and numeracy.Researchers from Oxford, Cardiff and London universities, who measured the attainments of65316426.doc 2more than 2,000 children at the ages of three and five, found that their mothers‘education is important in accounting for differences between children. But what the mother did with the child was even more important. Those who talked frequently to their children, who played games with numbers and letters, read to them, took them to the library and taught them songs and nursery rhymes had a significant effect on their attainment both at the ages of three and five. Professor Pam Sammons of London University‘s Institute of Education, said, ―Children‘s progress is not completely determined by social disadvantages. What parents do with children is critically important. Parents who have no educational qualifications can still do many things to help their children. We need to encourage parents, particularly younger ones, to play with children and to talk to them.Sammons said the findings emphasized the importance of policies for supporting families of under-threes, for example, the government‘s Sure Start program. MPs on the Select Committee for Education are investigating early years education. Ministers have provided a nursery, playgroup or school place for every four-year-old, but critics say that too many children are now in school reception classes, which are not equipped for them. There are more staff workers for each child in nurseries than in reception classes. The researchers, comparing children‘s achievements in math and literacy, found that playgroups and private day nurseries tended to do much less well than nursery schools, which combined education, day care and reception classes.This research is consistent with previous studies that show the benefit of mother play in other areas such as in a child‘s creativity and social development using other devices such as music and toys. Music helps children connect the outer world of movement and sound with the inner world of feelings and observations. Children learn music the same way they learn language – by listening and imitating. Finger play promotes language development, motor skills and coordination, as well as self-esteem. Young children are proud when they sing a song and can do the accompanying finger movements. Listening to music also teaches important pre-reading skills. As youngsters use small drums or other percussion instruments (homemade or store-bought), they can play the rhythmic pattern of words.Babies become social beings through watching their parents, and through interacting with them and the rest of the family and later with others. It is a crucial time to begin teaching by example how people should behave toward one another. Toys that help babies with social development are stuffed animals, animal mobiles and dolls. Even very small babies can socialize with them. The infant will often converse with animal prancing on the crib bumpers or revolving on a mobile. Later, books and opportunities for make-believe and dress-up play also help children to develop social skills.In the beginning, babies‘ hand movements are totally random. But within a few months those tiny hands will move with more purpose and control. A mother has a particularly important role in the development of purposeful movement by giving her baby‘s hands plenty freedom; rather than keeping them swaddled or tucked under a blanket (except outdoor in cold weather). Researchers suggest providing a variety of objects that are easy for small hands to pick up and manipulate, and that don‘t require fine dexterity. And since young babies usually won‘t grasp objects that are directly in front of them, a mother should offer these objects from the side.Researchers suggest that mother give babies ample opportunity for ―hands-on‖ experience with the following:Rattles that fit small hands comfortably. Those with two handles or grasping surfaces allow a baby to pass them from hand to hand, an important skill, and those that baby can put their mouth on will help bring relief when teething begins.65316426.doc 3They also suggest mothers use cradle gyms (they fit across a carriage, playpen or crib) that have a variety of parts for baby to grab hold of, spin, pull and poke. Beware of those, however, with strings more than six inches long, and take any gym down once your baby is able to sit up.Another useful play device is an activity board that requires a wide range of hand movements to operate, many of which your baby won‘t be able to intentionally maneuver for a while, but some of which even a young infant can set in motion accidentally with a swipe of a hand or foot.

You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.A new study says walking is just as (47) as more difficult exercise in reducing the risk of heart disease in women. It suggests that even (48) amounts of exercise can be good for women‘s health. Federal researchers in the United States (49) the study. The research is part of the federal government‘s Women‘s Health Initiative. Researchers are studying many health questions important to older women.The researchers (50) almost 74,000 women during a six-year period. The women were between the ages of 50 and 79. They answered questions about their activity (51) . The researchers divided the women into five groups, from the (52) activity to the most activity.The study found that fast walking for about two-and-one-half hours a week cut the risk of heart disease (53) one-third. This good effect was about the same in women who spent an (54) amount of time doing more difficult exercise. The good effects (55) as the women spent more time and energy taking part in such exercises.The study also found that sitting in a chair for at least sixteen hours each day could increase the risk of heart disease (56) a person exercised or not. The results were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.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 four choices marked A), B), C) and D).You should decide on the best choic.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.The human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do.The left side of the brain controls language and number; it analyses and reasons. The right side65316426.doc 8controls our imagination; it controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is the right side of our brain which daydreams.Great artists and great scientists are similar. They both use the two sides of their brains. It is well-known that Albert Einstein (1879 –1955), as a great scientist, also enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer‘s day while sitting on a hill. He imagined he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve. He got this idea by using his imagination. He then used the left side of brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.Traditional, established education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. However, we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectly good legs! Then why don‘t we give more value to visual thinking?In fact, we all need both sides of our brains. We need to use our imaginations to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to survive day by day.57. According to the passage, the left side of the brain ________.A) controls language and numberB) controls our imaginationC) daydreamsD) controls our sense of rhythm58. What does the author want to show by using the example of Einstein?A) Great scientists are also great artists.B) The left side of Einstein‘s brain is very powerful.C) Einstein is a genius whose two sides of the brain are strong.D) The two sides of the brain are equally important.59. What do we learn about Einstein from the passage?A) He could play the violin well.B) He said his scientific discoveries are acquired by analysis rather than by daydreaming.C) He was the first person to discover the track of the sun.D) He was disgusted at language.60. What does the author mean by saying ―we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectlygood legs‖ (Para. 4) ?A)We needn‘t hop because we are healthy.B)Only those who have something wrong in their legs can be encouraged to hop.C)It‘s foolish of us to hop when we have two perfectly good legs.D)We should use both sides of the brain.61. The author believes that the right side of our brain is as important as the left side because65316426.doc 9________.A) it controls our appreciation of music and sense of rhythmB) it enables us to make scientific discoveriesC) it is more important to analyze and organize in order to surviveD) the imaginations may provide solutions to problems and enable us to enjoy emotional andartistic experiencesPassage TwoQuestion 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be irritating. If they get excited or upset then they may become more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and straightforward.―Good morning, Mum. This is Fiona, your daughter. It is eight o‘clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs.‖When the elderly person makes confused statements e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: ―You don‘t work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes?‖We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, scrap books, and addresses or shopping list could help in individual case.62. Why can‘t we always keep calm in front of old people?A)Because old people sometimes annoy us.B)Because old people sometimes don‘t understand us.C)Because we are sometimes in a bad mood.D)Because we are sometimes in a hurry.63. What happens to elderly people‘s memory according to the passage?A)Their memory becomes worse and recalls basic things as granted.B)Their memory becomes worse and can‘t remember basic things.C)They can‘t remember their failures.D)They can only remember past failures.64. Paragraph 3 gives an example illustrating ________.65316426.doc10A)how to provide simple, direct informationB) a daughter‘s care for her motherC) a daughter‘s duty to her motherD)the right procedure of helping the old65. Why are old people encouraged to use diaries?A)Because diaries can replace reminder boarders.B)Because diaries are the best way to record important events.C)Because diaries help make up for poor memory.D)Because diaries can label the contents of cupboards.66. What is the main idea of the passage?A)What happens to old people with failing memory.B)How to help old people with failing memory.C)Why old people have poor memory.D)How to improve bad memory.Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

In fact, the Internet is becoming a dominant element in modern life.The advantages of the Internet are very prominent. First, it can transmit information with surprising speed, and thus distances have been shortened. Second, with the Internet, life has become clearer. On-line chatting and various kinds of news give us access to knowledge from every corner of the world. Third, the Internet has completely changed people‘s mode of living. For example, on-line shopping, both convenient and cheap, is becoming more and more popular.However, the Internet has also brought some problems. First, its surprising speed can promote the spread of viruses as well. And virtual space has also provided opportunities for criminal activities. Third, many young people spend time on the Internet which should be devoted to homework.Overall, just as a coin has two sides, the Internet has both good and bad influences. Used wisely, the Internet will contribute to a brilliant future for us.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1.Y2. NG3. Y4. N5. Y6. NG7.

The Argentina side of 1986 was functional and hard-working but it was Maradona who fired them to the final and then set up two of the goals in their 3-2 win over West Germany in the final.In 1990, a barely-fit Maradona fought his way to the final where the Germans took their revenge. Few people shared Diego’s post-match tears. In fact many rejoiced that such an ugly brute of a team had lost.Eight years before, in Spain, Maradona, then newly arrived at Barcelona, disgraced himself by being sent off in a Second Phase game with Brazil. Even four years before that the 18-year-old Maradona was a source of great controversy when he was left Out of the victorious squad that won on home ground.USA 1994 was the end for Maradona as a player. Right after the Nigeria game, he was picked for drugs-screening and tested positive for banned stimulant ephedrine (麻黄硷).He was banned from the rest of the tournament and the team fell apart, going out in the second round to Romania.21.

According to the passage, Maradona is a man _________.A. full of ideasB. with cruel behaviorsC. having good luckD. of great controversyPassage TwoA material which usually keeps animals and people warm is providing an oil clean-up service for the environment. Wool from sheep proved to be an effective “sponge” to soak up oil from the waters of the Persian Gulf after the Gulf War in 1991. The absorbent qualities of wool were used to good effect in wool poles which swept across the surface of the water and cleaned up the oil.（加）Now the same absorbent qualities are being used by railways in the Netherlands. Wool mats produced by Rhanex Wools of New Zealand have been laid between the rails at eight major Dutch railway stations to soak up diesel oil dropping from locomotives. Dutch authorities were worried that diesel oil was seeping (渗入) through the ground into the water-table, which is used for farm irrigation and to supply drinking water. The mats can be regularly squeezed to extract the diesel oil from them, and then reused.Similar wool mats are being used in inner city car parking lots in Sydney, Australia, to soak up oil dropping from parked cars. One parking lot owner believed that the value of his land could be reduced by oil pollution.The environmental friendly qualities of wool are also being put to good use to protect wool itself. High value Merino sheep in Australia and Canada are wearing wool covers to protect their fleece (羊毛).65316475.doc 426. Which of the following is not one of wool’s advan tages?A. It has absorbent quality.B. It could be squeezed and reused.C. It can be used to avoid pollution.D. It could increase the price of land.27.

To prevent the cars from turning over.B. To absorb oil leaking from the parked cars.C. To attract more drivers to park their cars.D. To ask for a higher price when the lands are sold.30. Which function of wool is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Storing up oil.B. Material for making clothes.C. Absorbing oil.D. Protecting sheep themselves.Passage ThreeDaily social relations in France have always been dominated by family ties. The family has bee n the focus of the individual’s loyalty and affection, of his economic interest, and even of his legal duty. Many an older Frenchman has spent his youth in a world where he was expected to regard cousins, uncles and grandparents as more important to him than friends of his own age, and where the family’s needs and de mands were put before those of the local community or even of the State.The main change since the war is that the focus of loyalty has been steadily narrowing from the “extended family”to the “nuclear family”, i.e. the home cell of parents and children. In the rural areas the traditionally big peasant families have been losing their influence as the young drift away to the town. As property gives way to income and family management disappears, the tight network of the big family gath ering has become less necessary for the individual’s future, and also less easy to maintain. Many younger couples today prefer pleasure travelling, or a weekend cottage shared with a few friends, to the traditional big family reunions on Sundays and in August.But old values are still there. Clan (氏族) loyalties towards more distant relatives may become weak, an adult’s ties with his own parents and even with their parents often remain remarkably strong. And if many younger people are today trying to lead more emotionally independent lives, it is often not without a sense of guilt, or an awareness of the pain it causes to their parents. This may be so in any country: it is especially sharp in France.31. In France, people used to _________.A. value more their families than the countryB. attach most importance to their friendsC. regard their cousins and uncles more important than their parentsD. consider the local community prior to the state32. The “nuclear family” will not include _________.A. fatherB. motherC. childrenD. grandparents33. The rural families are growing smaller because _________.65316475.doc 5A. many young men and women were killed in the warB. more and more people choose to stay singleC. more and more families have only one childD. many young men and women are leaving the country for cities34. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The French have given up their clan loyalties to independence.B. Family gathering has become less necessary nowadays.C. Many younger couples spend weekends and holidays themselves or with a few friends.D. The old values still have their influence today.35. What does “this” in the last sentence of the passage refer to ?A.Loyalty to the family.B. Emotionally independence.C. Sense of guilt.D. Difference between old values and new values.Passage FourWhen it comes to walking off those excesses, a lengthy hike once a day will do you far more good than nipping down to (一溜烟跑) the shops every couple of hours — even if the short walks add up to the same amount of time, say exercise researchers in Britain. But walks of any length beat sitting at home with your feet up and watching television, they stress.Some researchers in Britain reached these conclusions after putting 56 couch potatoes through an 18-week course of daily walks.They found that longer walks produce the most beneficial changes to the composition of blood fats, but walks of any length improve the fitness of the heart.In the study, the normally inactive subjects were divided into three roughly equal groups. The “long walkers” took a hike of between 20 and 40 minutes every day. “Intermediate walkers” had two rounds of jogging of 10 to 15 minutes, and “short walkers” did three stints of 90 to 110 minutes. The controls sat at home, as usual.At the start and end of the 18 weeks, the health and fitness of each group were measured and it was found that the long walkers were healthiest, as measured by altered fat profiles in their blood.At the end, each litre of blood from the long walkers contained an average 0. 05 grains less apolipoprotein (阿朴脂蛋白) II, a “bad” fat that is linked with heart disease. This was more than twice the drop seen in the intermediate walkers, and five times that in short walkers. In the controls, the level of this fat stayed the same. The drop in apolipoprotein II in the long walkers was matched by a rise in the blood level of apolipoprotein I, a “good” fat that is associated with smooth arteries.36. According to the researchers, _________ is least beneficial to your health.A. taking a lengthy hike once a dayB. going shopping several times every dayC. doing jogging every morningD. sitting in the sofa watching TV every evening37. “Couch potato” is used to refer to a kind of _________.A. farmersB. vegetablesC. movie-goersD. TV viewers38. Which of the following statement is FALSE?A. Longer walks benefit our composition of blood fats.B. The subjects in the study all often watch TV.C. Only longer walks benefit our health.D. The subjects in the study may not like exercises.39. The subjects are divided into ________ groups.65316475.doc 6A. 4B. 3C. 2D. 140. Why is long walk beneficial to our heart?A. It help us lose weight.B. It leads to the drop in apolipoprotein I.C. It leads to the drop in apolipoprotein II.D. It keeps us from watching TV.III．Vocabulary and Structure (15%)41. No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements, for they exert a ________ influence on us.A. darkB. subtleC. lightD. vague42.

They arrived in China in 1275 and stayed until 1292 when they left the country as escorts for a Mongol princess traveling by sea to Persia. In 1298 when Venice was at war, Marco Polo wa taken prisoner. During his imprisonment, he dictated to a fellow prisoner the detailed accounts of his travels. His literary work, The Travels of Marco Polo, is perhaps the most famous and influenctial travel book in history. With a wealth of vivid details, it gave medieval Europe its first consequential knowledge of China and other countries. For a long time it was the only existing source in Europe for information on the geography and life in the Far East. The bok became the basis for some of the first accurate maps of Asia made in Europe.1-5 CBCCA 6-10 BCDBA11-15 CDAAB 16-20 CDDAA21-25 BCACC 26-30 CACBBModel Test 2Universal Language on the InternetIn general, the universal language on the Internet is English, or more exactly a vague collection of languages called “English”because their common origin is the n ational language spoken in England by the English. That national language has spread over the world, and several variants such as American English, Australian English, exist. A great number of peoplewhose native language is none of the variants know English as a foreign language. They typically use a more or less simplified variant, e.g. excluding most of the idioms of British, American, and Australian English. Of course, they make mistakes, and sometimes the "English" used by people as a foreign language on the Internet is almost incomprehensible to anyone else. In addition, people who use English as their native language do not know how to spell difficult words, since they basically know English as a spoken language. Thus, roughly speaking, the universal language of the Internet is clumsy, coarse and misspelled "English".1-5 DCDBA 6-10 CDDCA11-15 BCDBD 16-20 ACCBA21-25 ACDCB 26-30 CDADCModel Test 3HoneyHoney, the wonderfully rich golden liquid, is the miraculous product of honey bees. The fascinating process of making honey begins when the bees feast on flowers. Although it is available throughout the year, it is an exceptional treat in the summer and fall when it has just been harvested and is at its freshest. For many centuries, honey was regarded as sacred due to its wonderfully sweet properties as well as its rarity. It was used mainly in religious ceremonies topay tribute to the gods. Honey was also used for a variety of medicinal and cosmetic purposes. In the time of the ancient Olympics, athletes were reported to eat honey to enhance their sports performance. Althogh honey makes a good replacement for sugar in most recipes, for a long time in history, its use in cooking was reserved only for the wealthy since it was soexpensive that only they could afford it.1-5 BDDCD 6-10 ABCDA11-15 DDCCD 16-20 CCDCC21-25 CBADB 26-30 BBCCCModel Test 4Macy’s Thanksgiving Day ParadeFor over 75 years, Macy’s department store has given us a tradition which both celebrates America and calls forth Christmas. It actually stems from European traditions. In the 1920’s, many of Macy’s employees were first-generation immigrants. Proud of their new American heritage, they wanted to celebrate the American holiday with the type of festival they loved in Europe. They dressed up as clowns, cowboys and knights ad marched throug the street. With an audience of over a quarter of a million people, the parade was a hit! With nationwide television, the parade assumed its hold on the entire nation in the 1950’s. The parade has always been known for its policy of going on rain or shine. Even in 1962, less than a week after President Kennedy’s assassination, it went on so as not to disappoint the millions of children. The Macy’s Thankgiving Day Parade is a true New York experience that is magical for both children and adults.1-5 DCDBC 6-10 BBCBA11-15 DDCBA 16-20 CDCDC21-25 BDBCA 26-30 CCDDBModel Test 5LonelinessMost people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. For some people, loneliness can last for years. Recently, researchers say there are three different types ofloneliness.The first kind is temporary. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second is called situational loneliness. It’s a natural result of a particular situation, such as a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, it does not last for more than a year. The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Chronic loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific reasons. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and keeping close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their conditions.1-5 BADDB 6-10 AACAC11-15 DBCDA 16-20 CBCDB21-25 BCBDA 26-30 ADCDB。

德语专业四级考试听力模拟

德语专业四级考试听力模拟1.Mit der Gründung der ersten Alpenschule Europas wollte ein Österreicher zwei Ideen realisieren: Erstens wollte er Stadtkindern die Natur näher bringen, zweitens wollte er den Bauern zu einem weiteren Einkommen verhelfen. Seit drei Jahren funktioniert das Konzept der Alpenschule mit großem Erfolg: Kinder aus der Großstadt leben bei Bauernfamilien und lernen das Leben auf dem Bauernhof kennen. Außerdem können die Kleinen auch vieles über Berge, Wälder und Tiere erfahren. Neben den Bauernfamilien sind auch die Studenten an der Betreuung der Kinder beteiligt. In einigen Jahren soll das Projekt im gesamten deutschsprachigen Raum undspäter in allen EU- Ländern angeboten werden. In der nächsten Zeit reist der Österreicher nach Holland, um dort seine Idee vorzustellen und das Projekt …Leben auf dem Bauernhof" aufzubauen.2.Experten schätzen, dass in Deutschland zwei bis fünf Prozent der Kinder eines Geburtsjahrgangs hochbegabt sind. Oft wird dies aber zu spät erkannt:Obwohl sie besonders intelligent sind, haben sie Lernprobleme. Viele reagieren agressiv. Der Grund : Sie sind unterfordert. Die Eltern von Hans zum Beispiel fragten zunächst mehrere Kinderpsychologen um Rat, nachdem weder Lehrer noch Erzieher sein auffälliges Verhalten erklären konnten. Aber erst durch einen Intelligenztest wurde die Ursache gefunden. Bücher und Kongresse über hochbegabte Kinder stoßen auf immer größeres Interesse. Dennoch gibt es bisher noch zu wenig spezielle Programme, die diese Kinder fordern. Eine Ausnahme ist ein Kindergarten, wo etwa 40 hochbegabte Kinder gemeinsam mit normal begabten Kindern betreut werden. Die Kinder werden nicht in getrennten Gruppen betreut, damit sie die gesellschaftliche Realität erleben.3.Das Hauptargument der Eltern beim Kauf ist, dass die Computer vor allem dem Zweck des Lernens dienen. Die Realität ist, dass die meisten Kinder ihren Computer zum Spielenbenützen. Dann aber bietet der elektronische Lehrer sehr viele Vorteile:Durch verschiedene Arten von Belohnungen werden die Kinder zum Weiteriemen motiviert. Computer sind auch geduldiger als Lehrer,wenn man etwas nicht gleich kann. Außerdem lassen sich verschiedene Lehrinhalte durch die technischen Möglichkeiten ganz deutlich veranschaulichen.Aus diesen Gründen sollte man den Computer nicht von Anfang an ablehnen. Es gibt zwar Angst vieler Eltern, dass Kinder vor dem Computer vereinsamen, aber man kann das verhindern, indem man die Spiel- und Lemdauer vorher genau festlegt.4.Familie heuteIn Österreich leben 8, 1 Millionen Menschen. Das Bevölkerungswachstum entwickelt sich sehr langsam. In der Volkszählung vom Jahr 2001 weist die Statistik aus, dass es in Österreich 2. 2 Millionen Familien gibt. Die Bedeutung der klassischen Ehe sowie der Ehe mit Kindern geht zurück.Andere Formen des Zusammenlebens treten an die Stelle der Ehe auf Lebenszeit.Diese Veränderung zeigt sich einerseits in der steigenden Scheidungsrare:Im Landesdurchschnitt werden 44. 4% der Ehen geschieden. Andererseits gibt es in Österreich eine hohe Zahl an unehelich geborenen Kindern: 33, 8% aller Geburten sind unehelich. Etwa 25% der Familien mit Kindern sind sogenannte Teilfamilien:Mütter erziehen in mehr als 300 000 Fällen ihre Kinder allein, in etwa 50 000 Fällen leben die Väter mit ihren Kindern allein.5.Wofür geben die Österreicher ihr Geld aus? Vor wenigen Wochen wurde in Salzburg eine Umfrage durchgeführt. 3000 Österreicher wurden danach gefragt,wo sie persönlich in diesem Jahr am meisten sparen. Sehr viele Österreicher müssen sehr sparen, obwohl die Umsätze in der Computerbranche in den ersten sechs Monaten dieses Jahres erstaunlicherweise zugenommen haben.Der Umfrage zufolge wurde dieses Jahr bedeutend weniger Geld für den Kauf von Autos ausgegeben als vergleichsweise im vergangenen Jahr. Herr und Frau Österreicher gehen lieber weniger oft aus. Auch den Urlaub verbringen viele aus Spargründen zu Hause. Bei schöner Kleidung und Spielzeug für die Kinder und beim Sport wird noch nicht gespart. Jedoch wird beim Essen gespart. Viele Österreicher kaufen ihre Lebensmittel billiger ein. Auf eine Mahlzeit in einem Restaurant wird immer öfter verzichtet.。
