Part ⅢReading Comprehension (40 minutes) Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bankfollowing the passage. Read the passage through carefully before makingyour choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please markthe corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single linethrough the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more thanonce.An office tower on Miller Street in Manchester is completely covered in solar panels. They areused to create some of the energy used by the insurance company inside. When the tower wasfirst 26 in 1962, it was covered with thin square stones. These small square stones becamea problem for the building and continued to fall off the face for 40 years until a major renovationwas 27 . During this renovation the building’s owners, CIS, 28 the solar panel company,Solarcentury. They agreed to cover the entire building in solar panels. In 2004, the completed CIStower became Europe’s largest 29 of vertical solar panels. A vertical solar project on such alarge 30 has never been repeated since.Covering a skyscraper with solar panels had never been done before, and the CIS tower waschosen as one ofthe “10 best green energy projects”. For a long time after this renovation project,it was the tallest building in the United Kingdom, but it was 31 overtaken by the Millbank Tower.Green buildings like this aren’t 32 cost-efficient for the investor, but it does produce muchless pollution than that caused by energy 33 through fossil fuels. As solar panels get 34 ,the world is likely to see more skyscrapers covered in solar panels, collecting energy much liketrees do. Imagine a world where building the tallest skyscraper wasn’t a race of 35 , but ratherone to collect the most solar energy.Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statementsattached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of theparagraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is markedwith a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2.Some College Students Are Angry That They Have to Pay to Do Their HomeworkA) Digital learning systems now charge students for access codes needed to complete coursework,take quizzes, and turn in homework. As universities go digital, students are complaining of anew hit to their finances that’s replacing—and sometimes joining—expensive textbooks: priceyonline access codes that are required to complete coursework and submit assignments.B) The codes—which typically range in price from $80 to $155 per course—give students onlineaccess to systems developed by education companies like McGraw Hill and Pearson. Thesecompanies, which long reaped big profits as textbook publishers, have boasted that their newonline offerings, when pushed to students through universities they partner with, represent thefuture of the industry.C) But critics say the digital access codes represent the same profit-seeking ethos (观念) of thetextbook business, and are even harder for students to opt out of. While they could once buysecond-hand textbooks, or share copies with friends, the digital systems are essentially impossible to avoid.D) “When we talk about the access code we see it as the new face of the textbook monopoly (垄断), a new way to lock students around this system,” said Ethan Senack, the higher educationadvocate for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, to BuzzFeed News. “Rather than $250(for a print textbook) you’re paying $120,” said Senack. “But because it’s all digital it eliminates the used book market and eliminates any sharing and because homework and tests arethrough an access code, it eliminates any ability to opt out.”E) Sarina Harper, a 19-year-old student at Virginia Tech, was faced with a tough dilemma whenshe first started college in 2015—pay rent or pay to turn in her chemistry homework. She toldBuzzFeed News that her freshman chemistry class required her to use Connect, a systemprovided by McGraw Hill where students can submit homework, take exams and track theirgrades. But the code to access the program cost $120—a big sum for Harper, who hadalready put down $450 for textbooks, and had rent day approaching.F) She decided to wait for her next work-study paycheck, which was typically $150-$200, topay for the code. She knew that her chemistry grade may take a dive as a result. “It’s abalancing act,”she said. “Can I really afford these access codes now?” She didn’t hand in herfirst two assignments for chemistry, which started her out in the class with a failing grade.G) The access codes may be another financial headache for students, but for textbook businesses,they’re the future. McGraw Hill, which controls 21% of the higher education market, reportedin March that its digital content sales exceeded print sales for the first time in 2015. Thecompany said that 45% of its $140 million revenue in 2015 “was derived from digital products.”H) A Pearson spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that “digital materials are less expensive and agood investment”that offer new features, like audio texts, personalized knowledge checks andexpert videos. Its digital course materials save students up to 60% compared to traditionalprinted textbooks, the company added. McGraw Hill didn’t respond to a request for comment,but its CEO David Levin told the Financial Times in August that “in higher education, the era ofthe printed textbook is now over.”I) The textbook industry insists the online systems represent a better deal for students.“Thesedigital products aren’t just mechanisms for students to submit homework, they offer all kindsof features,”David Anderson, the executive director of higher education with the Associationof American Publishers, told BuzzFeed News. “It helps students understand in a way that youcan’t do with print homework assignments.”J) David Hunt, an associate professor in sociology at Augusta University, which has rolled outdigital textbooks across its math and psychology departments, told BuzzFeed News that heunderstands the utility of using systems that require access codes. But he doesn’t require hisstudents to buy access to a learning program that controls the class assignments. “I try tomake things as inexpensive as possible,” said Hunt, who uses free digital textbooks for hisclasses but designs his own curriculum.“The online systems may make my life a lot easier butI feel like I’m giving up control. The discussions are the things where my expertise can benefitthe students most.”K) A 20-year-old junior at Georgia Southern University told BuzzFeed News that she normallyspends $500-$600 on access codes for class. In one case, the professor didn’t require students to buy a textbook, just an access code to turn in homework. This year she said she spent$900 on access codes to books and programs. “That’s two months of rent,”she said. “Youcan’t sell any of it back. With a traditional textbook you can sell it for $30-$50 and that helpsto pay for your new semester’s books. With an access code, you’re out of that money.”L) Benjamin Wolverton, a 19-year-old student at the University of South Carolina, told BuzzFeedNews that “it’s ridiculous that after paying tens of thousands in tuition we have to pay for allthese access codes to do our homework.”Many of the access codes he’s purchased havebeen required simply to complete homework or quizzes.“Often it’s only 10% of your grade inclass,” he said. “You’re paying so much money for something that hardly affects your grade—but if you didn’t have it, it would affect your grade enough. It would be bad to start out at a Bor C.” Wolverton said he spent $500 on access codes for digital books and programs thissemester.M) Harper, a poultry (家禽) science major, is taking chemistry again this year and had to buy anew access code to hand in her homework. She rented her economics and statistics textbooksfor about $20 each. But her access codes for homework, which can’t be rented or boughtsecond-hand, were her most expensive purchases: $120 and $85.N) She still remembers the sting of her first experience skipping an assignment due to the highprices. “We don’t really have a missed assignment policy,” she said. “If youmiss it, you justmiss it. I just got zeros on a couple of first assignments. I managed to pull everything back up.But as a scared freshman looking at their grades, it’s not fun.”36. A student’s yearly expenses on access codes may amount to their rent for twomonths.37. The online access codes may be seen as a way to tie the students to the digitalsystem.38. If a student takes a course again, they may have to buy a new access code tosubmit theirassignments.39. McGraw Hill accounts for over one-fifth of the market share of college textbooks.40. Many traditional textbook publishers are now offering online digital products,which theybelieve will be the future of the publishing business.41. One student complained that they now had to pay for access codes in addition tothe hightuition.42. Digital materials can cost students less than half the price of traditional printedbooks accordingto a publisher.43. One student decided not to buy her access code until she received the pay for herpart-time job.44. Online systems may deprive teachers of opportunities to make the best use of theirexpertisefor their students.45. Digital access codes are criticized because they are profit-driven just like thetextbook business.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2with a single line through thecentre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is toexplain it to someone else. “While we teach, we learn,”said Roman philosopher Seneca. Nowscientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date. They’re documenting why teaching is sucha fruitful way to learn, and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction.Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understandthe material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higheron tests than pupils who’re learning only for their own sake. But how can children, still learningthemselves, teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids, Some studies have found that first-born children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings (兄弟姐妹). This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects. They engage college undergraduatesto teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students onthe topic.But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the “teachable agent”—a computerizedcharacter who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated (动画的) figure called Betty’s Brain, who has been“taught”about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers aremotivated to help Betty master certain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize theirknowledge and improve their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, theyidentify problems in their own thinking.Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors’learning. The agents’ questions compel student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching theagent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.Above all, it’s the emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning. Student tutorsfeel upset when their teachable agents fail, but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as theyderive pride and satisfaction from someone else’s accomplishment.46. What are researchers rediscovering through their studies?A) Seneca’s thinking is still applicable today.B) Better learners will become better teachers.C) Human intelligence tends to grow with age.D) Philosophical thinking improves instruction.47. What do we learn about Betty’s Brain?A) It is a character in a popular animation.B) It is a teaching tool under development.C) It is a cutting-edge app in digital games.D) It is a tutor for computer science students.48. How does teaching others benefit student tutors?A) It makes them aware of what they are strong at.B) It motivates them to try novel ways of teaching.C) It helps them learn their academic subjects better.D) It enables them to better understand their teachers.49. What do students do to teach their teachable agents?A) They motivate them to think independently.B) They ask them to design their own questions.C) They encourage them to give prompt feedback.D) They use various ways to explain the materials.50. What is the key factor that eases student tutors’ learning?A) Their sense of responsibility. C) The learning strategy acquired.B) Their emotional involvement. D) The teaching experience gained.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.A new batch of young women—members of the so-called Millennial(千禧的) generation—has been entering the workforce for the past decade. At the starting line of their careers, they arebetter educated than their mothers and grandmothers had been—or than their young male counterparts are now. But when they look ahead, they see roadblocks to their success. They believe thatwomen are paid less than men for doing the same job. They think it’s easier for men to get topexecutive jobs than it is for them. And they assume that if and when they have children, it will beeven harder for them to advance in their careers.While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20-30 years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say this country needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with57% of Millennial men. Even so, relatively few young women (15%) say they have been discriminated against at work because of their gender.As Millennial women come of age they share many of the same views and values about workas their male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they placerelatively little importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women are lesslikely than men to aim at top management jobs: 34% say they’re not interested in becoming a bossor top manager; only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap on this question is evenwider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs that gowith work and motherhood.These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2,002 adults, including 810Millennials (ages 18-32), conducted Oct. 7-27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recentdecades, young women view this as a man’s world—just as middle-aged and older women do.51. What do we learn from the first paragraph about Millennial women starting theircareers?A) They can get ahead only by striving harder.B) They expect to succeed just like Millennial men.C) They are generally quite optimistic about their future.D) They are better educated than their male counterparts.52. How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace?A) They are the target of discrimination. C) They think it needs further improving.B) They find it satisfactory on the whole. D) They find their complaints ignored.53. What do Millennial women value most when coming of age?A) A sense of accomplishment. C) Rewards and promotions.B) Job stability and flexibility. D) Joy derived from work.54. What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about?A) The welfare of their children. C) The fulfillment of their dreams in life.B) The narrowing of the gender gap. D) The balance between work and family.55. What conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey?A) They still view this world as one dominated by males.B) They account for half the workforce in the job market.C) They see the world differently from older generations.D) They do better in work than their male counterparts.Part ⅣTranslation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

But when they look ahead, they see roadblocks to their success. They believe that women arepaid less than men for doing the same job. They think it ’ s easier forexm e cutiventogetjobstopthan it is for them. And they assume that if and when they have children, it will be even harder for them to advance in their careers.While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20-30 years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say this country needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with 57% of Millennial men. Even so, relatively few young women (15%) say they have been discriminated against at work because of their gender.As Millennial women come of age they share many of the same views and values about work as their male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they place relatively little importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women are less likely than men to aim at top management jobs: 34% say they ’ renot interested in becoming a boss or top manager; only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap on this question is even wider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs that go with work and motherhood.These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2,002 adults, including 810 Millennials (ages 18-32), conducted Oct. 7-27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recent decades, young women view this as a man ’ s —worldjust as middle-aged and older women do.51.What do we learn from the first paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers?A)They can get ahead only by striving harder.B)They expect to succeed just like Millennial men.C)They are generally quite optimistic about their future.D)They are better educated than their male counterparts.52.How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace?A) They are the target of discrimination.C) They think it needs further improving.B) They find it satisfactory on the whole.D) They find their complaints ignored.53.What do Millennial women value most when coming of age?A) A sense of accomplishment.C) Rewards and promotions.B) Job stability and flexibility.D) Joy derived from work.54.What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about?A) The welfare of their children.C) The fulfillment of their dreams in life.B) The narrowing of the gender gap.D) The balance between work and family.55.What conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey?A)They still view this world as one dominated by males.B)They account for half the workforce in the job market.C)They see the world differently from older generations.D) They do better in work than their male counterparts.Part ⅣTranslation(30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

Nowadays, people usually pay more attention to their speaking ability, believing that better speaking means better communication. There is some truth in this statement, the ability to speak well is an important factor for successful communication.For my perspectives, effective communication should be carefully planned. Firstly, speak slowly and briefly so as to make others understand completely. Secondly, we need to express ourselves in all sincerity and with warmth. Thirdly, we should focus on what other says and appreciate his opinions. Meanwhile, we also need to give positive feedback by nodding or smiling while listening.In conclusion, learning to speak well seems like making a great building. We can tell that people with strong ability in speaking enjoy more opportunities to promote and express oneself, and people who lack of such capability would fail to achieve that.2.写作能力的重要性范文:The picture illustrates the importance of writing ability. When observing the world from a personal perspective, it is deducible that the ability of writing is playing an important role and hence becomes a great concern of society. However, how we can develop this ability is the problem that literally everyone needs to face.The first approach to develop our writing is to read more widely. This is because the enlargement of our knowledge pool can enrich our understanding at those fields. The second useful method of improving our writing is by learning from others’ writing techniques and then practicing them by ourselves. Last but not least, it can be beneficial for us to communicate with classmates who write well. This communication can be reached by exchanging essays. Ask one of them for his or her suggestions in order to capture your mistakes and shortcomings.In a word, society should focus on educating people with their writing ability as long as the attention has been drawn. Only in this way can our world continue to prosper in the future.3.阅读能力的重要性范文: As is described in the picture, the teacher istelling her student that it is through reading thatpeople install new software,namely newknowledge, into their brains. I approve of suchstatement because reading is of greatsignificance in our life.First and foremost, reading is the basic way inwhich we acquire knowledge of the world.Although we can obtain new information throughvarious means, for example, watching TV, westill gain most knowledge directly or indirectly bymeans of reading. Secondly, books are thestepping stones to human progress. Being therecord of human experience, books open a worldof knowledge and wisdom for us. Throughreading we can grasp abundant knowledge andstep forward. In addition, reading is also animportant way of recreation. From reading wecan get pleasure and relaxation. When we areengrossed in reading, we enter a world of ourownleaving all the troubles behindTo sum up, reading is a necessity for our life.Young people should focus more on reading, nomatter when or where.阅读理解第一套选词填空26.

When night falls, red and blue and other colors 26 a hazy (雾蒙蒙的) glow over a city lit up by tens of thousands of neon signs. But many of them are going dark, 27 by more practical, but less romantic, LEDs (发光二极管).Changing building codes, evolving tastes, and the high cost of maintaining those wonderful old signs have businesses embracing LEDs, which are energy 28 , but still carry great cost. "To me, neon represents memories of the past," says photographer Sharon Blance, whose series Hong Kong Neon celebrates the city's famous signs. "Looking at the signs now I get a feeling of amazement, mixed with sadness."Building a neon sign is an art practiced by 29 trained on the job to mold glass tubes into 30 shapes and letters. They fill these tubes with gases that glowwhen 31 . Neon makes orange, while other gases make yellow or blue. It takes many hours to craft a single sign.Blance spent a week in Hong Kong and 32 more than 60 signs; 22 of them appear in the series that capture the signs lighting up lonely streets—an 33 that makes it easy to admire their colors and craftsmanship. "I love the beautiful, handcrafted,old-fashioned 34 of neon," says Blance.

Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.New Jersey School District Eases Pressure on Students—Baring an Ethnic DivideA) This fall, David Aderhold, the chief of a high-achieving school district near Princeton, New Jersey, sent parents an alarming 16-page letter. The school district, he said, was facing a crisis. Its students were overburdened and stressed out, having to cope with too much work and too many demands. In the previous school year, 120 middle and high school students were recommended for mental health assessments and 40 were hospitalized. And on a survey administered by the district, students wrote things like, "I hate going to school," and "Coming out of 12 years in this district, I have learned one thing: that a grade, a percentage or even a point is to be valued over anything else."B) With his letter, Aderhold inserted West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District into a national discussion about the intense focus on achievement at elite schools, and whether it has gone too far. At follow-up meetings, he urged parents to join him in advocating a "whole child" approach to schooling that respects "social-emotional development" and "deep and meaningful learning" over academics alone. The alternative, he suggested, was to face the prospect of becoming another Palo Alto, California, where outsize stress on teenage students is believed to have contributed to a number of suicides in the last six years.C) But instead of bringing families together, Aderhold's letter revealed a divide in the district, which has 9,700 students, and one that broke down roughly along racial lines. On one side are white parents like Catherine Foley, a former president of the Parent-Teacher-Student Association at her daughter's middle school, who has come to see the district's increasingly pressured atmosphere as opposed to learning. "My son was in fourth grade and told me, 'I'm not going to amount to anything because I have nothing to put on my resume,'" she said. On the other side are parents like Mike Jia, one of the thousands of Asian-American professionals who have moved to the district in the past decade, who said Aderhold's reforms would amount to a "dumbing down" of his children's education. "What is happening here reflects a national anti-intellectual trend that will not prepare our children for the future," Jia said.D) About 10 minutes from Princeton and an hour and a half from New York City, West Windsor and Plainsboro have become popular bedroom communities for technology entrepreneurs, researchers and engineers, drawn in large part by the public schools. From the last three graduating classes, 16 seniors were admitted to MIT. It produces Science Olympiad winners, classically trained musicians and students with perfect SA T scores.E) The district has become increasingly popular with immigrant families from China, India and Korea. This year, 65 percent of its students are Asian-American, compared with 44 percent in 2007. Many of them are the first in their families born in the United States. They have had a growing influence on the district. Asian-American parents are enthusiastic supporters of the competitive instrumental music program. They have been huge supporters of the district's advanced mathematics program, which once began in the fourth grade but will now start in the sixth. The change to the program, in which 90 percent of the participating students areAsian-American, is one of Aderhold's reforms.F) Asian-American students have been eager participants in a state program that permits them to take summer classes off campus for high school credit, allowing them to maximize the number of honors and Advanced Placement classes they can take, another practice that Aderhold is limiting this school year. With many Asian-American children attending supplementary instructional programs, there is a perception among some white families that the elementary school curriculum is being sped up to accommodate them.G) Both Asian-American and white families say the tension between the two groups has grown steadily over the past few years, as the number of Asian families has risen. But the division has become more obvious in recent months as Aderhold has made changes, including no-homework nights, an end to high school midterms and finals, and an initiative that made it easier to participate in the music program.H) Jennifer Lee, professor of sociology at the University of California, Irvine, and an author of the Asian American Achievement Paradox, says misunderstanding between first-generationAsian-American parents and those who have been in this country longer are common. What white middle-class parents do not always understand, she said, is how much pressure recent immigrants feel to boost their children into the middle class. "They don't have the same chances to get their children internships (实习职位) or jobs at law firms," Lee said. "So what they believe is that their children must excel and beat their white peers in academic settings so they have the same chances to excel later. "I) The issue of the stresses felt by students in elite school districts has gained attention in recent years as schools in places like Newton, Massachusetts, and Palo Alto have reported a number of suicides. West Windsor-Plainsboro has not had a teenage suicide in recent years, but Aderhold, who has worked in the district for seven years and been chief for the last three years, said he had seen troubling signs. In a recent art assignments, a middle school student depicted (描绘) an overburdened child who was being scolded for earning an A, rather than an A+ , on a math exam. In the image, the mother scolds the student with the words, "Shame on you!" Further, he said, the New Jersey Education Department has flagged at least two pieces of writing on state English language assessments in which students expressed suicidal thoughts.J) The survey commissioned by the district found that 68 percent of high school honor and Advanced Placement students reported feeling stressed about school "always or most of the time." "We need to bring back some balance," Aderhold said. "You don't want to wait until it's too late to do something. "K) Not all public opinion has fallen along racial lines. Karen Sue, the Chinese-American mother of a fifth-grader and an eighth-grader, believes the competition within the district has gotten out of control. Sue, who was born in the United States to immigrant parents, wants her peers to dial it back. "It's become an arms race, an educational arms race," she said. "We all want our kids to achieve and be successful. The question is, at what cost?"36. Aderhold is limiting the extra classes that students are allowed to take off campus.37. White and Asian-American parents responded differently to Aderhold's appeal.38. Suicidal thoughts have appeared in some students' writings.39. Aderhold's reform of the advanced mathematics program will affect Asian-American students most.40. Aderhold appealed for parents' support in promoting an all-round development of children, instead of focusing only on their academic performance.41. One Chinese-American parent thinks the competition in the district has gone too far.42. Immigrant parents believe that academic excellence will allow their children equal chances to succeed in the future.43. Many businessmen and professionals have moved to West Windsor and Plainsboro because of the public schools there.44. A number of students in Aderhold's school district were found to have stress-induced mental health problems.45. The tension between Asian-American and white families has increased in recent years.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 and 50 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it to someone else. "While we teach, we learn," said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date. They're documenting why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn, and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction.Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understand the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who're learning only for their own sake. But how can children, still learning themselves, teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids. Some studies have found that first-born children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings (兄弟姐妹). This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects. They engage college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the "teachable agent"—a computerized character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated (动画的) figure called Betty's Brain, who has been "taught" about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers aremotivated to help Betty master certain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize their knowledge and improve their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they identify problems in their own thinking.Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors' learning. The agents' questions compel student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching the agent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.Above all, it's the emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning. Student tutors feel upset when their teachable agents fail, but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as they derive pride and satisfaction from someone else's accomplishment.46. What are researchers rediscovering through their studies?A) Seneca's thinking is still applicable today.B) Better learners will become better teachers.C) Human intelligence tends to grow with age.D) Philosophical thinking improves instruction.47. What do we learn about Betty's Brain?A) It is a character in a popular animation.B) It is a teaching tool under development.C) It is a cutting-edge app in digital games.D) It is a tutor for computer science students.48. How does teaching others benefit student tutors?A) It makes them aware of what they are strong at.B) It motivates them to try novel ways of teaching.C) It helps them learn their academic subjects better.D) It enables them to better understand their teachers.49. What do students do to teach their teachable agents?A) They motivate them to think independently.B) They ask them to design their own questions.C) They encourage them to give prompt feedback.D) They use various ways to explain the materials.50. What is the key factor that eases student tutors' learning?A) Their sense of responsibility.B) Their emotional involvement.C) The learning strategy acquired.D) The teaching experience gained.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.A new batch of young women—members of the so-called Millennial (千禧的) generation—has been entering the workforce for the past decade. At the starting line of their careers, they are better educated than their mothers and grandmothers had been—or than their young male counterparts are now. But when they look ahead, they see roadblocks to their success. They believe that women are paid less than men for doing the same job. They think it's easier for men to get top executive jobs than it is for them. And they assume that if and when they have children, it will be even harder for them to advance in their careers.While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20-30 years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say this country needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with 57% of Millennial men. Even so, relatively few young women (15%) say they have been discriminated against at work because of their gender.As Millennial women come of age they share many of the same views and values about work as their male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they place relatively little importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women are less likely than men to aim at top management jobs: 34% say they're not interested in becoming a boss or top manager; only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap on this question is even wider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs that go with work and motherhood.These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2,002 adults, including 810 Millennials (ages 18-32), conducted Oct. 7-27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recent decades, young women view this as a man's world—just as middle-aged and older women do.51. What do we learn from the first paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers?A) They can get ahead only by striving harder.B) They expect to succeed just like Millennial men.C) They are generally quite optimistic about their future.D) They are better educated than their male counterparts.52. How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace?A) They are the target of discrimination.B) They find it satisfactory on the whole.C) They think it needs further improving.D) They find their complaints ignored.53. What do Millennial women value most when coming of age?A) A sense of accomplishment.B) Job stability and flexibility.C) Rewards and promotions.D) Joy derived from work.54. What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about?A) The welfare of their children.B) The narrowing of the gender gap.C) The fulfillment of their dreams in life.D) The balance between work and family.55. What conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey?A) They still view this world as one dominated by males.B) They account for half the workforce in the job market.C) They see the world differently from older generations.D) They do better in work than their male counterparts.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30minutes to translate a passage from Chi nese into English.

Each paragraph is marked with aletter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Some College Students Are Angry That They Have to Pay to Do Their Homework[A ] Digital learning systems now charge students for access codes needed to complete coursework, takequizzes, and turn in homework. As universities go digital, students are complaining of a new hit totheir finances that 's replacing一and sometimes joining—expensive textbooks: pricey online accesscodes that are required to complete coursework and submit assignments.[B]The codes—which typically range in price from $80 to $ 155 per course—give students online accessto systems developed by education companies like McGraw Hill and Pearson. These companies,which long reaped big profits as textbook publishers, have boasted that their new online offerings,when pushed to students through universities they partner with,represent the future of the industry.[C]But critics say the digital access codes represent the same profit-seeking ethos (观念)of the textbookbusiness, and are even harder for students to opt out of. While they could once buy second-handtextbooks, or share copies with friends, the digital systems are essentially impossible to avoid.[D]“When we talk about access code we see it as the new face of the textbook monopoly (垄断),a new2完整版月大学英语四级真题试题二年20186() 页10 共页第way to lock students around this system,”said Ethan Senack,the higher education advocate forthe U. S. Public Interest Research Group, to BuzzFeed News. “Rather than $250 ( for a print textbook)you,re paying $120,”said Senack. But because it,s all digital it eliminates the used book marketand eliminates any sharing and because homework and tests are through an access code, it eliminatesany ability to opt out.[E]Sanna Harper, a 19-year-old student at Virginia Tech, was faced with a tough dilemma when she firststarted college in 2015—pay rent or pay to turn in her chemistry homework. She told BuzzFeedNews that her freshman chemistry class required her to use Connect, a system provided by McGrawHill where students can submit homework, take exams and track their grades. But the code to accessthe program cost $ 120—a big sum for Harper, who had already put down $ 450 for textbooks, andhad rent day approaching.[F]She decided to wait for her next work-study paycheck, which was typically $150 -$200, to pay for thecode. She knew that her chemistry grade may take a dive as a result. “It's a balancing act,”she said.“Can I really afford these access codes now?”She didn 't hand in her first two assignments forchemistry, which started her out in the class with a failing grade.[G ] The access codes may be another financial headache for students, but for textbook businesses, they'rethe future. McGraw Hill, which controls 21% of the higher education market, reported in March thatits digital content sales exceeded print sales for the first time in 2015. The company said that 45% ofits $140 million revenue in 2015 “was derived from digital products”.[H]A Pearson spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that “digital materials are less expensive and a goodinvestment”that offer new features, like audio texts, personalized knowledge checks and expertvideos. Its digital course materials save students up to 60% compared to traditional printed textbooks,the company added. McGraw Hill didn't respond to a request for comment, but its CEO David Levintold the Financial Times in August that “in higher education, the era of the printed textbook is nowover”.[I]The textbook industry insists the online systems represent a better deal for students. “These digital3完整版月大学英语四级真题试题二年20186() 页10 共页第products aren 't just mechanisms for students to submit homework, they offer all kinds of features,nDavid Anderson, the executive director of higher education with the Association of AmericanPublishers, told BuzzFeed News. w It helps students understand in a way that you can 't do with printhomework assignments. ”[J]David Hunt, an associate professor in sociology at Augusta University, which has rolled out digitaltextbooks across its math and psychology departments, told BuzzFeed News that he understands theutility of using systems that require access codes. But he doesn't require his students to buy access toa learning program that controls the class assignments. “I try to make things as inexpensive aspossible,”said Hunt, who uses free digital textbooks for his classes but designs his own curriculum.“The online systems may make my life a lot easier but I feel like I 'm giving up control. Thediscussions are the things where my expertise can benefit the students most. ”K] A 20-year-old junior at Georgia Southern University told BuzzFeed News that she normally spends$500 - $600 on access codes for class. In one case, the professor didn't require students to buy atextbook, just an access code to turn in homework. This year she said she spent $900 on access codesto books and programs. “That's two months of rent,”she said. “You can't sell any of it back. With atraditional textbook you can sell it for $30 - $50 and that helps to pay for your new semester's books.With an access code, you're out of that money. ''[L]Benjamin Wolverton, a 19-year-old student at the University of South Carolina, told BuzzFeed Newsthat “it 's ridiculous that after paying tens of thousands in tuition we have to pay for all these accesscodes to do our homework”? Many of the access codes he 's purchased have been required simply tocomplete homework or quizzes. “Often it's only 10% of your grade in class,”he said. “You'repaying so much money for something that hardly affects your grade一but if you didn 't have it,itwould affect your grade enough. It would be bad to start out at a B or C. n Wolverton said he spent$500 on access codes for digital books and programs this semester.[M] Harper, a poultry (家禽)science major, is taking chemistry again this year and had to buy a newaccess code to hand in her homework. She rented her economics and statistics textbooks for about$20 each. But her access codes for homework, which can't be rented or bought second-hand, were her4完整版月大学英语四级真题试题二年20186() 页10 共页第most expensive purchases: $120 and $85.[N ] She still remembers the sting of her first experience skipping an assignment due to the high prices.“We don't really have a missed assignment policy,”she said. “If you miss it,you just miss it. I justgot zeros on a couple of first assignments. I managed to pull everything back up. But as a scaredfreshman looking at their grades,it's not fun.”36.A student's yearly expenses on access codes may amount to their rent for twomonths.37.The online access codes may be seen as a way to tie the students to the digital system.38.If a student takes a course again, they may have to buy a new access code to submit their assignments.39.McGraw Hill accounts for over one-fifth of the market share of college textbooks.40.Many traditional textbook publishers are now offering online digital products, which they believe willbe the future of the publishing business.41.One student complained that they now had to pay for access codes in addition to the high tuition.42.Digital materials can cost students less than half the price of traditional printed books according to apublisher.43.One student decided not to buy her access code until she received the pay for her part-time job.44.Online systems may deprive teachers of opportunities to make the best use of their expertise for theirstudents.45.Digital access codes are criticized because they are profit-driven just like the textbook business.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You shoulddecide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line throughthe centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it5完整版月大学英语四级真题试题二年20186() 页10 共页第to someone else. While we teach,we learn,”said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists arebringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date. They re documenting why teaching is such a fruitful way tolearn, and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction. Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understand thematerial, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachersscore higher on teststhan pupils who 're learning only for their own sake. But how can children, still learning themselves,teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids. Some studies have found that first-born childrenare more intelligent than their later-bom siblings (兄弟姐妹).This suggests their higher IQs result fromthe time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply thismodel to academic subjects. They engage college undergraduates to teach computer science to highschool students, who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the “teachable agent ”—a computerizedcharacter who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computerscientists have created an animated (动画的)figure called Betty's Brain, who has been “taught”aboutenvironmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers are motivated to helpBetty master certain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize their knowledge and improve theirown understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they identify problems in their ownthinking.Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors 'learning. The agents 'questionscompel student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching the agent solveproblems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.Above all,it 's the emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning. Student tutors feelupset when their teachable agents fail,but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as they derive prideand satisfaction from someone else 's accomplishment.46. What are researchers rediscovering through their studies?A)Seneca's thinking is still applicable today.B)Better learners will become better teachers.C)Human intelligence tends to grow with age.D)Philosophical thinking improves instruction.6完整版月大学英语四级真题试题二年20186() 页10 共页第47.

At the starting line of their careers, they are better educatedthan their mothers and grandmothers had been—or than their young male counterparts are now. But whenthey look ahead,they see roadblocks to their success. They believe that women are paid less than menfor doing the same job. They think it's easier for men to get top executive jobs than it is for them. And7完整版月大学英语四级真题试题二年20186() 页10 共页第they assume that if and when they have children, it will be even harder for them to advance in theircareers.While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20 - 30years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say this country needs tocontinue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with 57% of Millennialmen. Even so, relatively few young women (15%) say they have been discriminated against at workbecause of their gender.As Millennial women come of age they share many of the same views and values about work astheir male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they place relativelylittle importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women are less likely than mento aim at top management jobs: 34% say they' re not interested in becoming a boss or top manager;only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap on this question is even wider among workingadults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs that go with work and motherhood.These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2,002 adults, including 810Millennial (ages 18 -32),conducted Oct. 7 - 27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramaticgains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recent decades, youngwomen view this as a man's world—just as middle-aged and older women do.51.What do we learn from the first paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers?A)They can get ahead only by striving harder.B)They expect to succeed just like Millennial men.C)They are generally quite optimistic about their future.D)They are better educated than their male counterparts.52.How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace?A)They are the target of discrimination.B)They find it satisfactory on the whole.8完整版月大学英语四级真题试题二年20186() 页10 共页第C)They think it needs further improving.D)They find their complaints ignored.53.What do Millennial women value most when coming of age?A)A sense of accomplishment.B)Job stability and flexibility.C)Rewards and promotions.D)Joy derived from work.54.What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about?A)The welfare of their children.B)The narrowing of the gender gap.C)The fulfillment of their dreams in life.D)The balance between work and family.55.What conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey?A)They still view this world as one dominated by males.B)They account for half the workforce in the job market.C)They see the world differently from older generations.D)They do better in work than their male counterparts.9完整版月大学英语四级真题试题二年20186() 页10 共页第art IV Translation (30 minutes)PDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish.

At the starting line of their careers, they arebetter educated than their mothers and grandmothers had been —or than their young male counterparts are now.

Inthose years, just after World War I, the military wan ted to build an America nhighway system for n ati onal defe nse. Such a system could, if n ecessary, move troops quickly from one area to another. It could also get people out of cities in dan ger of being bombed. So-called roads of n ati onal importa nee were designated, but they were mostly small country roads. In 1944, Congresspassed a bill to upgrade the system, but did not fund the pla n right away .Inthe 1950s, the plan began to become a reality. Over $25 billion was appropriated by con gress, and con struct ion bega n on about 40,000 miles ofnew roads. The idea was to connect the new system to exist ing expressways and freeways. And though the system was built mostly to make car travel easier, defe nse was not forgotte n. For in sta nee, highway overpasses had to be high eno ugh to allow trailers carry ing military missiles to pass un der them.By 1974, this system was mostly completed.

This sounds like a widespread disease but it's onethat tech no logy may now helped cure. T.J. Evarts, a 20- year-oldinven tor, has come up with a novel soluti on that could easily put text ing drivers on no tice. It's called Smart Wheel, and it's desig ned to fit over the steeri ng wheel of most sta ndard vehicles to track whether or not the driver has two hands on the wheel at all times. Evarts ' invention warns the driverswith the light and the sound when they hold the wheel with one handonly, but as soon as they place the other hand back on the wheel the light turns back to gree n and the sound stops. It also watches for what's called“lose by hands ”,where both hands are close together n ear the top of thewheel so the driver can type with both thumbs and drive at the same time. All the data Smart Wheel collects is also sent to a conn ected app. Soany pare nts who in stall Smart Wheel can keep track of the tee ns ' drivi ng habits. If they try to remove or damage the cover, that's reported as well.Questi ons 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What is a major cause of road deaths among young America ns?23. What is Smart Wheel?24. What happe ns if the driver has one hand on the wheel?25.

Nowadays, people usually pay more attention to their speaking ability, believing that better speaking means better communication. There is sometruth in this statement, the ability to speak well is an important factor for successful communication.For my perspectives, effective communication should be carefully planned. Firstly, speak slowly and briefly so as to makeothers understand completely. Secondly, we need to express ourselvesin all sincerity and with warmth. Thirdly, we should focus onwhat other says and appreciate his opinions. Meanwhile, wealso need to give positive feedback by nodding or smilingwhile listening.In conclusion, learning to speak well seems like making a great building. We can tell that people with strong ability in speaking enjoy more opportunities to promote and express oneself, and people who lack of such capability would fail to achieve that.2.写作能力的重要性范文:The pictur e illustrate s the importanc e of writing abilit y. Whe nobserving the world from apersonal perspective, it is deducible thatthe ability of writing is playin g an important role and hencebecomesa great concern of society. However, how we can developthis ability is the problem that literally everyone needs toface.The first approach to develop our writing is to read more widely. Thi s is because the enlargement of our knowledge pool canenrich our understanding at those fields. The second useful method of improvingour writing is bylearning from others ’ writing techniques and thenpracticing them by ourselves. Last but not least, it can be beneficialfor us to communicat e wit h classmates wh o write well. This communication can be reached by exchanging essays. Ask one of them for his or her suggestions in order to capture your mistakesand shortcomings.I n a word, society should focus oneducating people with theirwriting abilit y as long as the attention has been drawn. Only in this way can our world continue to prosper in the future.3. 阅读能力的重要性范文:As is described in the picture, the teacher istelling herstudent that it is through reading thatpeople install newsoftware ,namely newknowledge, into their brains. I approve of suchstatement because reading is of greatsignificance in ourlife.First and foremost,readingis the basic way inwhich weacquireknowledge of the world.Although we can obtain new informationthroughvarious means, for example, watching TV, westill gain mostknowledge directly or indirectly bymeansofreading.Secondly,booksare thestepping stones to human progress. Being therecord of humanexperience, books open a worldof knowledge and wisdom for us. Throughreading we can grasp abundant knowledge andstep forward.

As universities go digital, students are complaining of anew hit to their finances that's replacing—and sometimes joining—expensive textbooks: priceyonline access codes that are required to complete coursework and submit assignments.B)The codes—which typically range in price from MYM80 to MYM155 per course—give students onlineaccess tosystems developed by education companies like McGraw Hill and Pearson. Thesecompanies, which long reaped big profits as textbook publishers, have boasted that their newonline offerings , when pushed to students through universities they partner with, represent thefuture of the industry.C)But critics say the digital access codes represent the same profit-seeking ethos (观念)of thetextbook business ,and are even harder for students to opt out of. W压le they could once buysecond-hand textbooks, or share copies with friends, the digital systems are essentially impossible to avoid.D)"When we talk about the access code we see it as the new face of the textbook monopoly (垄断),a new way tolock students around this system," said Ethan Senack, the higher educationadvocate for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, to BuzzFeed News. "Rather than MYM250(for a print textbook) you're paying MYM120,"said Senack. " B ut because it's all digital it eliminates the used book market and eliminates any sharing and because homework and tests arethrough an access code, it eliminates any ability to opt out. "E)Sarina Harper, a 19-year-old student at Virginia Tech, was faced with a tough dilemma whenshe first startedcollege in 2015—pay rent or pay to tum in her chemistry homework. She toldBuzzFeed News that her freshman chemistry class required her to use Connect, a systemprovided by McGraw Hill where students can submit homework, take exams and track theirgrades. But the code to access the program cost MYM120—a big sum for Harper, who hadalready put down MYM450 for textbooks, and had rent day approaching.F)She decided to wait for her next work-study paycheck, which was typically MYM150-MYM200, topay for thecode. She knew that her chemistry grade may take a dive as a result. "It's abalancing act, "she said. " C an I really afford these access codes now?" She didn't hand in herfI T st two assignments for chemistry, which started her out in the class with a failing grade.G)The access codes may be another financial headache for students, but for textbook businesses, t hey're the future.McGraw Hill, which controls 21 %of the higher education market, reportedin March that its digital content sales exceeded print sales for the first time in 2015. Thecompany said that 45% of its MYM140 million revenue in 2015 "was derived from digital products. "H)A Pearson spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that "digital materials are less expensive and agood investment"that offer new features, like audio texts, personalized knowledge checks andexpert videos. Its digital course materials save students up to 60% compared to traditionalprinted textbooks, the company added. McGraw Hill didn't respond to a request for comment, b ut its CEO David Levin told the Financial Times in August that "in higher education ,the era ofthe printed textbook is now over. "I)The textbook industry insists the online systems represent a better deal for students. "Thesedigital products aren't just mechanisms for students to submit homework, they offer all kindsof features, "David Anderson, theexecutive director of higher education with the Associationof American Publishers, told BuzzFeed News. "It helps students understand in a way that youcan't do with print homework assignments. "J)David Hunt, an associate professor in sociology at Augusta University, which has rolled outdigital textbooks across its math and psychology departments, told BuzzFeed News that heunderstands the utility of u sing systems that require access codes. But he doesn't require hisstudents to buy access to a learning program that controls the class assignments. "I try tomake things as inexpensive as possible, "said Hunt, who uses free digital textbooks for hisclasses but designs his own curriculum. "The online systems may make my life a lot easier butl feel like I'm giving up control. The discussions are the things where my expertise can benefitthe students most. "K)A 20-year-old junior at Georgia Southern University told BuzzFeed News that she normallyspends MYM500-MYM600 on access codes for class. In one case, the professor didn't require students to buy a textbook, just an access code to tum in homework. This year she said she spentMYM900 on access codes to books and programs."That's two months of r ent," she said. "Youcan't sell any ofit back. With a traditional textbook you can sell it for MYM30-MYM50 and that helpsto pay for your new semester's books. With an access code, you're out of that money. "L)Benjamin Wolverton, a 19-year-old student at the University of South Carolina, told BuzzFeedNews that "it's ridiculous that after paying tens of thousands in tuition we have to pay for allthese access codes to do our homework. "Many of the access codes he's purchased havebeen required simply to complete homework or quizzes. "Often it's only 10% of y our grade inclass," he said. "You're paying so much money for something that hardly affects your grade—but if y ou didn't have it, it would affect your grade enough. It would be bad to start out at a Bor C." Wolverton said he spent MYM500 on access codes for digital books and programs thissemester.M)Harper, a poultry (家禽)science major, is taking chemistry again this year and had to buy anew access code to hand in her homework. She rented her economics and statistics textbooksfor about MYM20 each. But her access codes for homework, which can't be rented or boughtsecond-hand, were her most expensive purchases: MYM120 and MYM85.N)She still remembers the sting of h er frrst experience skipping an assignment due to the highprices. "We don't really have a missed assignment policy," she said. "If you miss it, you justmiss it. I just got zeros on a couple of frrst assignments. I managed to pull everything back up. B ut as a scared freshman looking at their grades, it's not fun."36.A student's yearly expenses on access codes may amount to their rent for two months.37.The online access codes may be seen as a way to tie the students to the digital system.38.If a student takes a course again, they may have to buy a new access code to submit theirassignments.39.McGraw Hill accounts for over one-fifth of t he market share of c ollege textbooks.40.Many traditional textbook publishers are now offering online digital products, which theybelieve will be thefuture of t he publishing business.41.One student complained that they now had to pay for access codes in addition to the hightuition.42.Digital materials can cost students less than half t he price of t raditional printed books accordingto a publisher.43.One student decided not to buy her access code until she received the pay for her part-time job.44.Online systems may deprive teachers of o pportunities to make the best use of th eir expertisefor their students.45.Digital access codes are criticized because they are profit-driven just like the textbook business. Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is toexplain it to someone else. "While we teach, we learn," said Roman philosopher Seneca. Nowscientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date. They're documenting why teaching is sucha fruitful way to learn, and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction.Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understandthe material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higheron tests than pupils who're learning only for their own sake. But how can children, still learningthemselves, teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids, Some studies have found that frrst-bom children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings (兄弟姐妹). This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects. They engage college undergraduatesto teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students onthe topic.But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the "teachable agent"—a computerizedcharacter who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks q uestions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated (动画的)figure called Betty's Brain, who has been "taught" about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers aremotivated to help Betty master certain materials. W压le preparing to teach, they organize theirknowledge and improve their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, theyidentify problems in their own thinking.Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors'learning. The agents'questions compel student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching theagent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.Above all, it's the emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning. Student tutorsfeel upset when their teachable agents fail, but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as theyderive pride and satisfaction from someone else's accomplishment.46.What are researchers rediscovering through their studies?A)Seneca's thinking is still applicable today.B)Better learners will become better teachers.C)Human intelligence tends to grow with age.D)Philosophical thinking improves instruction.47.What do we learn about Betty's Brain?A)It is a character in a popular animation.B)It is a teaching tool under development.C)It is a cutting-edge app in digital games.D)It is a tutor for computer science students.48.How does teaching others benefit student tutors?A)It makes them aware of what they are strong at.B)It motivates them to try novel ways of teaching.C)It helps them learn their academic subjects better.D)It enables them to better understand their teachers.49.What do students do to teach their teachable agents?A)They motivate them to think independently.B)They ask them to design their own q uestions.C)They encourage them to give prompt feedback.D)They use various ways to explain the materials.50.What is the key factor that eases student tutors'learning?eir emotlonal involvement.A)Their sense of responsibility.B)Th· C)The learning strategy acquired.D) Passage Two Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The teaching expenence gained.A new batch of young women —members of the so-called Millennial (千禧的)generation —has been entering the workforce for the past decade. At the starting line of their careers, they arebetter educated than their mothers and grandmothers had been —or than their young male counterparts are now. But when they look ahead, they see roadblocks to their success. They believe thatwomen are paid less than men for doing the same job. They think it's easier for men to get topexecutive jobs than it is for them. And they assume that if and when they have children, itwi且beeven harder for them to advance in their careers.While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20-30 years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say this country needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with57% of Millennial men. Even so, relatively few young women (15%) say they have been discriminated against at work because of their gender.As Millennial women come of age they share many of the same views and values about workas their male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they placerelatively little importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women are lesslikely than men to aim at top management jobs: 34% say they're not interested in becoming a bossor top manager; only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap on this question is evenwider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs that gowith work and motherhood. These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2 , 002 adults, including 8 l OMillennials (ages 18-32), conducted Oct. 7-27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recentdecades , young women view this as a man's world —j ustas middle-aged and older women do. 51.What do we learn from the frrst paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers?A)They can get ahead only by striving harder.B)They expect to succeed just like Millennial men.C)They are generally quite optimistic about their future.D)They are better educated than their male counterparts.52.How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace?A)They are the target of discrimination.B)They find it satisfactory on the whole.C)They think it needs further improving.D)They find their complaints ignored.53.What do Millennial women value most when coming of age?A)A sense of accomplishment.B)Job stability and flexibility.C)Rewards and promotions.D)Joy derived from work.54.What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about?A)The welfare of their children.B)The narrowing of the gender gap.C)The fulfillment of their dreams in life.D)The balance between work and family.55.What conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey?A)They still view this world as one dominated by males.B)They account for half the workforce in the j ob market.C)They see the world differently from older g enerations.D)They do better in work than their male counte rp arts.Part IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions : 的r this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage f rom Chinese into English.

Especially, the capability of writing has gained great attention during the process of leaning a language.A person in possession with good writing ability will have benefits on various fronts listed below. For one thing, excellent wiring ability is beneficial to people’s logical think and analytic ability. This is due to the fact that in order to create a good layout of an essay, we have to collect and arrange a sea of writing materials systematically, during which logicality is gradually cultivated. For another, excellent ability of writing makes good contribution to strengthening the usage of words and enlarging our vocabulary. The more you write, the larger vocabulary you will have.Effective and efficient measures should be taken to develop our wiring ability.

In recent years, there have been increasing numbers of people choosing to travel by air during holidays.2018年6月大学英语四级考试真题(第3套)参考答案Part I WritingThe booming development of economy and society has made it both possible and necessary for us to speak to a large number of people even in just one day. Therefore, speaking ability is becoming increasingly crucial in our daily life.In my eyes, two aspects can be explored to illustrate the above-mentioned point. For one thing, excellent speaking ability is beneficial for leaving a good impression on others, which will contribute to building a harmonious relationship in our general routine of everyday living. For another, this ability proves to be the first step to establish oneself in the fiercely competitive workplace, especially in the service industry. Those who boast outstanding speaking skills tend to win customers’ trust and thus obtain better work performance. On the contrary, those who are poor at speaking are inclined to do less well in dealing with customers.In light of what has been argued so far, speaking ability does matter a lot in our work and daily life. Therefore, schools are supposed to organize more relevant competitions and activities or even open some related courses to cultivate their students’ speaking ability.Part II Listening Comprehension注意:听力一共两套题,故第三套答案略Part IV TranslationBuses used to be the main means of transportation for Chinese people.

She told BuzzFeed News that her freshman chemistry class required her to use Connect, a system provided by McGraw Hill where students can submit homework, take exams and track their grades. But the code to access the program cost $ 120—a big sum for Harper, who had already put down $ 450 for textbooks, and had rent day approaching.[F]She decided to wait for her next work-study paycheck, which was typically $150 - $200, to pay for thecode. She knew that her chemistry grade may take a dive as a result. “It's a balancing act,” she said.“ Can I really afford these access codes now?” She didn 't hand in her first two assignments for chemistry, which started her out in the class with a failing grade.[G ] The access codes may be another financial headache for students, but for textbook businesses, they'rethe future. McGraw Hill, which controls 21% of the higher education market, reported in March that its digital content sales exceeded print sales for the first time in 2015. The company said that 45% of its $140 million revenue in 2015 “was derived from digital products”.[H]A Pearson spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that “digital materials are less expensive and a goodinvestment” that offer new features, like audio texts, personalized knowledge checks and expert videos. Its digital course materials save students up to 60% compared to traditional printed textbooks, the company added. McGraw Hill didn't respond to a request for comment, but its CEO David Levin told the Financial Times in August that “ in higher education, the era of the printed textbo ok is now over”.[I]The textbook industry insists the online systems represent a better deal for students. “These digitalproducts aren 't just mechanisms for students to submit homework, they offer all kinds of features,n David Anderson, the executive director of higher education with the Association of American Publishers, told BuzzFeed News. w It helps students understand in a way that you can 't do with print homework assignments. ”[J]David Hunt, an associate professor in sociology at Augusta University, which has rolled out digital textbooks across its math and psychology departments, told BuzzFeed News that he understands the utility of using systems that require access codes. But he doesn't require his students to buy access toa learning program that controls the class assignments. “I try to make things as inexpensive aspossible,” said Hunt, who uses free digital textbooks for his classes but designs his own curriculum.“ The online systems may make my life a lot ea sier but I feel like I 'm giving up control. The discussions are the things where my expertise can benefit the students most. ”K] A 20-year-old junior at Georgia Southern University told BuzzFeed News that she normally spends $500 - $600 on access codes for class. In one case, the professor didn't require students to buy a textbook, just an access code to turn in homework. This year she said she spent $900 on access codes to books and programs. “That's two months of rent,” she said. “You can't sell any of it back. With a traditional textbook you can sell it for $30 - $50 and that helps to pay for your new semester's books.With an access code, you're out of that money. ''[L]Benjamin Wolverton, a 19-year-old student at the University of South Carolina, told BuzzFeed News that “ it 's ridiculous that after paying tens of thousands in tuition we have to pay for all these access codes to do our homework” • Many of the access codes he 's purchased have been required simply to complete homework or quizzes. “Often it's only 10% of your grade in class,” he said. “You're paying so much money for something that hardly affects your grade一but if you didn 't have it,it would affect your grade enough. It would be bad to start out at a B or C. n Wolverton said he spent $500 on access codes for digital books and programs this semester.[M] Harper, a poultry (家禽)science major, is taking chemistry again this year and had to buy a new access code to hand in her homework. She rented her economics and statistics textbooks for about $20 each. But her access codes for homework, which can't be rented or bought second-hand, were hermost expensive purchases: $120 and $85.[N ] She still remembers the sting of her first experience skipping an assignment due to the high prices.“We don't really have a missed assignment policy,” she said. “If you miss it,you just miss it. I just got zeros on a couple of first assignments. I managed to pull everything back up. But as a scared freshman looking at their grades,it's not fun.”36.A student's yearly expenses on access codes may amount to their rent for two months.37.The online access codes may be seen as a way to tie the students to the digital system.38.If a student takes a course again, they may have to buy a new access code to submit their assignments.39.McGraw Hill accounts for over one-fifth of the market share of college textbooks.40.Many traditional textbook publishers are now offering online digital products, which they believe will be the future of the publishing business.41.One student complained that they now had to pay for access codes in addition to the high tuition.42.Digital materials can cost students less than half the price of traditional printed books according to a publisher.43.One student decided not to buy her access code until she received the pay for her part-time job.44.Online systems may deprive teachers of opportunities to make the best use of their expertise for their students.45.Digital access codes are criticized because they are profit-driven just like the textbook business. Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain itto someone else. While we teach,we learn,”said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date. They re documenting why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn, and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction.Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understand the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who 're learning only for their own sake. But how can children, still learning themselves, teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids. Some studies have found that first-born children are more intelligent than their later-bom siblings (兄弟姐妹).This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects. They engage college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the “ teachable agent ” —a computerized character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated (动画的)figure called Betty's Brain, who has been “taught” about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers are motivated to help Betty master certain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize their knowledge and improve their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they identify problems in their own thinking.Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors 'learning. The agents 'questions compel student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching the agent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.Above all,it 's the emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning. Student tutors feel upset when their teachable agents fail,but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as they derive pride and satisfaction from someone else 's accomplishment.46. What are researchers rediscovering through their studies?A)Seneca's thinking is still applicable today.B)Better learners will become better teachers.C)Human intelligence tends to grow with age.D)Philosophical thinking improves instruction.47. What do we learn about Betty's Brain?A)It is a character in a popular animation.B)It is a teaching tool under development.C)It is a cutting-edge app in digital games.D)It is a tutor for computer science students.48. How does teaching others benefit student tutors?A)It makes them aware of what they are strong at.B)It motivates them to try novel ways of teaching.C)It helps them learn their academic subjects better.D)It enables them to better understand their teachers.49.What do students do to teach their teachable agents?A)They motivate them to think independently.B)They ask them to design their own questions.C)They encourage them to give prompt feedback.D)They use various ways to explain the materials.50.What is the key factor that eases student tutors' learning?A)Their sense of responsibility.B)Their emotional involvement.C)The learning strategy acquired.D)The teaching experience gained.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.A new batch of young women—members of the so-called Millennial (千禧的)generation has been entering the workforce for the past decade. At the starting line of their careers, they are better educated than their mothers and grandmothers had been—or than their young male counterparts are now. But when they look ahead,they see roadblocks to their success. They believe that women are paid less than men for doing the same j ob. They think it’s easier for men to get top executive jobs than it is for them. Andthey assume that if and when they have children, it will be even harder for them to advance in their careers.While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20 - 30 years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say this country needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with 57% of Millennial men. Even so, relatively few young women (15%) say they have been discriminated against at work because of their gender.As Millennial women come of age they share many of the same views and values about work as their male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they place relatively little importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women are less likely than men to aim at top management jobs: 34% say they’ re not interested in becoming a boss or top manager;only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap on this question is even wider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs that go with work and motherhood.These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2,002 adults, including 810 Millennial (ages 18 -32),conducted Oct. 7 - 27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recent decades, young women view this as a man’s world—just as middle-aged and older women do.51.What do we learn from the first paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers?A)They can get ahead only by striving harder.B)They expect to succeed just like Millennial men.C)They are generally quite optimistic about their future.D)They are better educated than their male counterparts.52.How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace?A)They are the target of discrimination.B)They find it satisfactory on the whole.C)They think it needs further improving.D)They find their complaints ignored.53.What do Millennial women value most when coming of age?A)A sense of accomplishment.B)Job stability and flexibility.C)Rewards and promotions.D)Joy derived from work.54.What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about?A)The welfare of their children.B)The narrowing of the gender gap.C)The fulfillment of their dreams in life.D)The balance between work and family.55.What conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey?A)They still view this world as one dominated by males.B)They account for half the workforce in the job market.C)They see the world differently from older generations.D)They do better in work than their male counterparts.P art IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.New Jersey School District Eases Pressure on Students – Baring an Ethnic DivideA) This fall, David Aderhold, the chief of a high-achieving school district near Princeton, New Jersey, sent parents an alarming 16-page letter. The school district, he said, was facing a crisis. Its students were overburdened and stressed out, having to cope with too much work and too many demands. In the previous school year, 120 middle and high school students were recommended for mental health assessments and 40 were hospitalized. And on a survey administered by the district, students wrote things like, “I hate going to school,” and “Coming out of 12 years in this district, I have learned one thing: that a grade, a percentage or even a point is to be valued over anything else.”B) With his letter, Aderhold inserted West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District into a national discussion about the intense focus on achievement at elite schools, and whether it has gone too far. At follow-up meetings, he urged parents to join him in advocating a “whole child” approach to schooling that respects “social-emotional development” and “deep and meaningful learning” over academics alone. The alternative, he suggested, was to face the prospect of becoming another Palo Alto, California, where outsize stress on teenage students is believedto have contributed to a number of suicides in the last six years.C) But instead of bringing families together, Aderhold’s letter revealed a divide in the district, which has 9,700 students, and one that broke down roughly along racial lines. On one side are white parents like Catherine Foley, a former president of the Parent-Teacher-Student Association at her daughter’s middle school, who has come to see the district’s increasingly pressured atmosphere as opposed to learning. “My son was in fourth grade and told me, ‘I’m not going to amount to anything because I have nothing to put on my résumé,’” she said. On the other side are parents like Mike Jia, one of the thousands of Asian-American professionals who have moved to the district in the past decade, who said Aderhold’s reforms would amount to a “dumbing down” of his children’s education. “What is happening here reflects a national anti-intellectual trend that will not prepare our children for the future,” Jia said.D) About 10 minutes from Princeton and an hour and a half from New York City, West Windsor and Plainsboro have become popular bedroom communities for technology entrepreneurs, researchers and engineers, drawn in large part by the public schools. From the last three graduating classes, 16 seniors were admitted to MIT. It produces Science Olympiad winners, classically trained musicians and students with perfect SAT scores.E) The district has become increasingly popular with immigrant families from China, India and Korea. This year, 65 percent of its students are Asian-American, compared with 44 percent in 2007. Many of them are the first in their families born in the United States. They have had a growing influence on the district. Asian-American parents are enthusiastic supporters of the competitive instrumental music program. They have been huge supporters of the district’s advanced mathematics program, which once began in the fourth grade but will now start in the sixth. The change to the program, in which 90 percent of the participating students are Asian-American, is one of Aderhold’s reforms.F) Asian-American students have been eager participants in a state program that permits them to take summer classes off campus for high school credit, allowing them to maximize the number of honors and Advanced Placement classes they can take, another practice that Aderhold is limiting this school year. With many Asian-American children attending supplementary instructional programs, there is a perception among some white families that the elementary school curriculum is being sped up to accommodate them.G) Both Asian-American and white families say the tension between the two groups has grown steadily over the past few years, as the number of Asian families has risen. But the division has become more obvious in recent months as Aderhold has made changes,including no-homework nights, an end to high school midterms and finals, and an initiative that made it easier to participate in the music program.H) Jennifer Lee, professor of sociology at the University of California, Irvine, and an author of The Asian American Achievement Paradox, says misunderstandings between first-generation Asian-American parents and those who have been in this country longer are common. What white middle-class parents do not always understand, she said, is how much pressure recent immigrants feel to boost their children into the middle class. “They don’t have the same chances to get their children internships (实习职位) or jobs at law firms,” Lee said. “So what they believe is that their children must excel and beat their white peers in academic settings so they have the same chances to excel later.”I) The issue of the stresses felt by students in elite school districts has gained attention in recent years as schools in places like Newton, Massachusetts, and Palo Alto have reported a number of suicides. West Windsor-Plainsboro has not had a teenage suicide in recent years, but Aderhold, who has worked in the district for seven years and been chief for the last three years, said he had seen troubling signs. In a recent art assignment, a middle school student depicted ( 描绘 ) an overburdened child who was being scolded for earning an A, rather than an A+, on a math exam. In the image, the m other scolds the student with the words, “Shame on you!” Further, he said, the New Jersey Education Department has flagged at least two pieces of writing on state English language assessments in which students expressed suicidal thoughts.J) The survey commissioned by the district found that 68 percent of high school honor and Advanced Placement students reported feeling stressed about school “always or most of the time.” “We need to bring back some balance,” Aderhold said. “You don’t want to wait until it’s too late to do something.”K) Not all public opinion has fallen along racial lines. Karen Sue, the Chinese-American mother of a fifth-grader and an eighth-grader, believes the competition within the district has gotten out of control. Sue, who was born in the United States to immigrant parents, wants her peers to dial it back. “It’s become an arms race, an educational arms race,” she said. “We all want our kids to achieve and be successful. The question is, at what cost?”36. Aderhold is limiting the extra classes that students are allowed to take off campus.37. White and Asian-American parents responded differently to Aderhold’s appeal.38. Suicidal thoughts have appeared in some students' writings.39. Aderhold’s reform of the advanced mathematics program will affect Asian-American students most.40. Aderhold appealed for parents’ support in promoting an all-round development of children, instead of focusing only on their academic performance.41. One Chinese-American parent thinks the competition in the district has gone too far.42. Immigrant parents believe that academic excellence will allow their children equal chances to succeed in the future.43. Many businessmen and professionals have moved to West Windsor and Plainsboro because of the public schools there.44. A number of students in Aderhold’s school district were found to have stress-induced mental health problems.45. The tension between Asian-American and white families has increased in recent years.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section.
