For questions 8-10,complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Small Schools RisingThis year’s list of the top 100 high schools shows that today, those with fewer students are flourishing.Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big, modern, suburban high schools with students counted in the thousands. As baby boomers(二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人) came of high-school age, big schools promised economic efficiency. A greater choice of courses, and, of course, better football teams. Only years later did we understand the trade-offs this involved: the creation of excessive bureaucracies(官僚机构)，the difficulty of forging personal connections between teachers and students.SAT scores began dropping in 1963;today,on average,30% of students do not complete high school in four years, a figure that rises to 50% in poor urban neighborhoods. While the emphasis on teaching to higher, test-driven standards as set in No Child Left Behind resulted in significantly better performance in elementary(and some middle)schools, high schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress.Size isn’t everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable countertrend toward smaller schools. This has been due ,in part ,to theBill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools-most of them with about 400 kids each with an average enrollment of only 150 per grade, About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all over the country are taking notice, along with mayors in cities like New York, Chicago and San Diego. The movement includes independent public charter schools, such as No.1 BASIS in Tucson, with only 120 high-schoolers and 18 graduates this year. It embraces district-sanctioned magnet schools, such as the Talented and Gifted School, with 198 students, and the Science and Engineering Magnet,with383,which share a building in Dallas, as well as the City Honors School in Buffalo, N.Y., which grew out of volunteer evening seminars for students. And it includes alternative schools with students selected by lottery(抽签)，such as H-B Woodlawn in Arlington, Va. And most noticeable of all, there is the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up into smaller units of a few hundred, generally housed in the same grounds that once boasted thousands of students all marching to the same band.Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, Calif, is one of those, ranking No.423—among the top 2% in the country—on Newsweek’s annual ranking of America’s top high schools. The success of small schools is apparent in the listings. Ten years ago, when the first Newsweek list based on college-level test participation was published, only three of the top 100 schools had graduating Classes smaller than 100 students. This year there are 22. Nearly 250 schools on the full ,Newsweek list of the top 5% of schools nationally had fewer than 200 graduates in 2007.Although many of Hillsdale’s students came from wealthy households, by the late 1990 average test scores were sliding and it had earned the unaffectionate nickname (绰号) “Hillsjail. ” Jeff Gilbert. A Hillsdale teacher who became principal last year, remembers sitting with other teachers watching students file out of a graduation ceremony and asking one another in astonishment, “How did that student graduate?”So in 2003 Hillsdale remade itself into three “houses,” romantically named Florence, Marrakech and Kyoto. Each of the 300 arriving ninth graders are randomly(随机地) assigned to one of the houses. Where they will keep the same four core subject teachers for two years, before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. The closeness this system cultivates is reinforced by the institution of “advisory”classes Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents,so they are deeply invested in the students’ success.“We’re constantly talking about one another’s advisers,” says English teacher Chris Crockett. “If you hear that yours isn’t doing well in math, or see them sitting outside the dean’s office, it’s like a personal failure.” Along with the new structure came a more demanding academic program, the percentage of freshmen taking biology jumped from 17 to 95.“It was rough for some. But by senior year, two-thirds have moved up to physics,”says Gilbert “Our kids are coming to school in part because they know there are adults here who know them and care for them.”But not all schools show advances after downsizing, and it remains to be seen whether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution.The Newsweek list of top U.S. high schools was made this year, as in years past, according to a single metric, the proportion of students taking college-level exams. Over the years this system has come in for its share of criticism for its simplicity. But that is also its strength: it’s easy for readers to understand, and to do the arithmetic for their own schools if they’d like.Ranking schools is always controversial, and this year a group of 38 superintendents(地区教育主管)from five states wrote to ask that their schools be excluded from the calculation.“It is impossible to know which high schools are ‘the best’ in the nation, ”their letter read. in part. “Determining whether different schools do or don’t offer a high quality of education requires a look at man different measures, including students’ overall academic accomplishments and their subsequent performance in college. And taking into consideration the unique needs of their communities.”In the end, the superintendents agreed to provide the data we sought, which is, after all, public information. There is, in our view, no real dispute here, we are all seeking the same thing, which is schools that better serve our children and our nation by encouraging students to tackle tough subjects under the guidance of gifted teachers. And if we keep working toward that goal, someday, perhaps a list won’t be necessary.注意：此部分试题请在答卡1上作答.1． Fifty years ago. big. Modern.

The company spent the last five years developing solar panels that are only about a quarter of an inch thick and are strong enough to stand up to heavy highway traffic without breaking or making the roads more slippery. The panels are also designed so that they can be installed directly on top of existing roadways, making them relatively cheap and easy to install.France isn’t the first country to kick around the idea of paving its roads with solar panels. In November 2015, the Netherlands completed a 229-foot-long bike path paved with solar panels as a test for future projects. However, this is the first time a panel has been designed to be laid directly on top of existing roads and the first project to install the panels on public highways.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.Q3： What was France's purpose of constructing the Wattway?A)Finding cheaper ways of highway construction.B)Generating electric power for passing vehicles.C)Providing clean energy to five million people.D)Testing the efficiency of the new solar panel.答案：C) Providing clean energy to five million people.Q4： What is special about the solar panels used in the Wattway?A)They can stand the wear and tear of natural elements.B)They can be laid right on top of existing highways.C)They can only about half an inch thick.D)They are made from cheap materials.答案：B) They can be laid right on top of existing highways.News 3：Lions have disappeared from much of Africa, but for the past few years scientists have wondered if the big cats were hanging on in remote parts of Sudan and Ethiopia. Continuous fighting in the region has made surveys difficult.But scientists released a report Monday documenting, with hard evidence, the discovery of "lost lions."A team with Oxford University’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, supported by a charity organization, spent two nights in November camping in the National Park in northwest Ethiopia, on the Ethiopia-Sudan border. The researchers set out six camera traps capturing images of lions, and they identified lion tracks.The scientists concluded that lions are also likely to live in the neighbouring National Park across the border in Sudan. The International Union for Conservation of Nature had previously considered the area a "possible range" for the species, and local people had reported seeing lions in the area, but no one presented convincing evidence.Questions 5 and 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.Q5： What has made it difficult to survey lions in remote parts in Sudan and Ethiopia?A)Endless fighting in the region.B)The hazards from the desert.C)Inadequate funding for research.D)The lack of clues about the species.答案：A) Endless fighting in the region.Q6： What was the main purpose of the research?A)To observe the wildlife in the two national parks.B)To identify the reasons for the lions’ disappearance.C)To study the habitat of lions in Sudan and Ethiopia.D)To find evidence of the existence of the “lost lions”.答案：D) To find evidence of the existence of the "lost lions".Q7： What did the researchers find in the National Park?A) Lions walking.

How did you know?M： David told me you had a special birthday coming up.W：Oh…yeah that's right. This year will be my golden birthday.M： What does that mean? I've never heard of a golden birthday.W： I've actually just learnt this concept myself. Fortunately, just in time to celebrate. A golden or lucky birthday is when one turns the age of their birth date. So,for example, my sister's birthday is December 9th and her golden birthday would have been the year she turned nineyears old. Come to think of it, my parents did throw her a surprise party that year.M： Interesting. Too bad I missed mine. My golden birthday would've been four years ago. I assume you got big plans then.W： Actually yes. My husband is planning a surprise holiday for the two of us next week. I have no idea what he's got in mind, but I'm excited to find out. Has he mentioned anything to you?M： He might have.W： Anything you'd like to share? I'm dying to know what kind of trip he has planned on where we're going.M： You know nothing at all?W：Not a clue. Hard to imagine, isn’t it? Though I must say I think he's been having even more fun keeping the secret from me in the past few weeks.M： I'm sure both of you will have a fantastic time. Happy golden birthday! I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q8. What is the woman looking forward to?A) Her ‘lucky birthday’ C) Her wedding anniversary.B) A call from her dad. D) A special gift from the man.答案：A) Her 'lucky birthday'.Q9.

What does the man say at the end of the conversation?A) He will be glad to be a guide for the couple’s holiday trip.B) He will tell the woman the secret if her husband agrees.C) He is eager to learn how the couple’s holiday turns out.D) He wants to find out about the couple’s holiday plan.答案： C) He is eager to learn how the couple's holiday turns out.Passage 2W： Mr. Green, what do you think makes a successful negotiator?M：Well, that’s hard to define. But I think successful negotiators have several things in common. They are always polite and rational people. They are firm but flexible. They can recognize power and know how to use it. They aresensitive to the dynamics of the negotiation. The way ofrises and falls and how it may change direction. They project the image of confidence, and perhaps most importantly, they know when to stop.W： And, what about an unsuccessful negotiator?M： Well, this is probably all of us when we start out. We are probably immature and over-trusting. Too emotional or aggressive. We are unsure of ourselves and we want to beliked by everyone. Good negotiators learn fast. Poor negotiators remain like that and go on losing negotiations.W： In your opinion, can the skills of negotiation be taught?M： Well, you can teach someone how to prepare for a negotiation. There are perhaps six stages in every negotiation. Get to know the other side. State your goals. Start the process. Clarify areas of disagreement or conflict. Reassess your position. Making acceptable compromises. And finally, reach some agreement in principle. These stages canbe studied. And strategies to be used in each can be planned beforehand. But I think, the really successful negotiator is probably born with six sense about responding appropriatelyto the situation at hand.W：The artistic sense you’ve just described?M：Yes. That’s rig ht.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q12： What does the man say about good negotiators?A) They are sensitive to the dynamics of a negotiation.B) They see the importance of making compromises.C) They know when to adopt a tough attitude.D) They take the rival’s attitude into account.答案：A) They are sensitive to the dynamics of a negotiation.Q13： What does the man say may be the most important thing to a successful negotiator?A) They know how to adapt. C) They know when to make compromises.B) They know when to stop. D) They know how to control their emotion.答案：B) They know when to stop.Q14： How is a good negotiator different from a poor one?A) They are patient. C) They learn quickly.B) They are good at expression. D) They uphold their principles.答案： C) They learn quickly.Q15： What is the first stage of negotiation according to the man?A) Make clear one’s intentions. C) Formulate one’s strategy.B) Clarify items of negotiation. D) Get to know the other side.答案：D) Get to know the other side.Section CDirections： In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear three or four questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C), D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Some people wonder why countries spend millions of dollars on space projects. They want to know how space research helps people on Earth. Actually space technology helps people on Earth every day. This is called "spin-off technology."Spin-off technology is space technology that is now used on Earth.In early space programs, such as the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s, and in the Space Shuttle missions today, scientists developed objects for the astronauts to use on the moon and in space. We now use some of these objects every day.For example, we have Quartz crystal clocks and watches accurate to within one minute a year. We purify the water we drink with a water filter designed for the astronauts' use in space.The cordless, hand-held tools we use in our homes, such as vacuum cleaners, flashlights, drills and saws came fromthe technology of these early space programs.On cold winter days we can stay warm with battery-operated gloves and socks, and specially made coats and jackets. All of these clothes are similar to the spacesuit designs that kept astronauts comfortable in the temperatures of the moon, and are spin-offs from space technology.These products are only a few examples of the many ways space technology helps us in our everyday lives. No one knows how new spin-off technology from the International Space Station will help us in the future.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you havejust heard.Q16： What do some people want to know about space exploration?A) When America’s earliest space program started.B) When the International Space Station was built.C) How many space shuttle missions there will be.D) How space research benefits people on Earth.答案： D) How space research benefits people on Earth.Q17： What did scientists do for the space shuttle missions?A) They accurately calculated the speed of the orbiting shuttles.B) They developed objects for astronauts to use in outer space.C) They tried to meet astronauts’ specific requirements.D) They tried to make best use of the latest technology.答案：B) They developed objects for astronauts to use in outer space.Q18： What does the speaker say about Quartz crystal clocks and watches?A) They are extremely accurate. C) They were first made in space.B) They are expensive to make. D) They were invented in the 1970s.答案：A) They are extremely accurate.Passage 2Well, if I could go back in history and live, I'd like to go back to the 18th century and perhaps in colonial America in Yankee, New England, where one of my ancestors lived, because it was the beginning of something.By the 18th century, there was a feeling of community that had grown. My ancestor was a preacher, traveling around the countryside. People lived in small communities. There were fishermen and farmers who provided fresh food that tasted and looked like food, unlike that in today's supermarkets, and there were small towns, and New York wasn't that far away. I'm deeply attached to the Puritan tradition, not in a religious sense, but they believed in working for something, working for goals, and I like that.They worked hard at whatever they did, but they had a sense of achievement. They believed in goodness in community and helping one another. I love the colonial fabrics, all the silver work, the furnishings, the combination of elegance and simplicity. I love it. The printing, the books, I'm very attached to all that kind of thing that may not all be very entertaining in the modern sense of the world. But I would have enjoyed spending my evenings in that environment, discussing new ideas, building a new world. And I can see myself sitting on a small chair by the fire doing needlework.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you havejust heard.Q19： Why does the speaker say she would like to go back and live in the 18th century America?A) It was when her ancestors came to America.B) People had plenty of land to cultivate then.C) It marked the beginning of something new.D) Everything was natural and genuine then.答案：C) It marked the beginning of something new.Q20： What does the speaker say about the Puritans?A) They believed in working for goals. C) They had all kinds of entertainment.B) They enjoyed living a life of ease. D) They were known to be creative.20. A) They believed working for goals.答案：What would the speaker like doing if she could go back to the past?21.What would the speaker like doing if she could go back to the past?A)Chatting with her ancestors.B)Furnishing her country house.C)Polishing all the silver work.D)Doing needlework by the fire.答案：D) Doing needlework by the fire.Passage 3If you are lost in the woods, a little knowledge can turn what some people call a hardship into an enjoyable stay away from the troubles of modern society. When you think youare lost, sit down on a log, or a rock, or lean against a tree, and recite something that you have memorized, to bring you mind to a point where it’s under control. Don’t run blindly. If you must move, don’t follow a stream unless you know it, and in that case, you are not lost. Streams, normally flow through wetland before they reach a lake or a river. Though there are more eatable plants, there may also be wild animals, poisonous snakes, and other hazards. Many experts feel that it’s wisest to walk uphill. At the top of most hills and mountains, are trails leading back to civilization. If there are no trails, you are much easier to be seen on top of a hill, and you may even spot a highway, or a railroad from this point. Nowadays, the first way someone will search for you is by air. In a wetland, or in dense growth, you are very hard to spot. Anytime you go into the woods, somebody should know where you are going, and when you expect to return. Also, when someone comes looking, you should be able to signal to them.Questions 22-25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What does the speaker advise you to do first if you are lost in the woods?A)Use a map to identify your location.B)Call your family or friends for help.C)Sit down and try to calm yourself.D)Try to follow your footprints back.答案：C) Sit down and try to calm yourself23. What will happen if you follow an unknown stream in the woods?A)You may find a way out without your knowing it.B)You may expose yourself to unexpected dangers.C)You may get drowned in a sudden flood.D)You may end up entering a wonderland.答案： B)You may expose yourself to unexpected dangers.24. What do many experts think is the wisest thing to do if you are lost in the woods?A)Look for food.B)Wait patiently.C)Start a fire.D)Walk uphill.答案：D)Walk uphill.25. What should you do before you go into the woods?A)Inform somebody of your plan.B)Prepare enough food and drink.C)Check the local weather.D)Find a map and a compass.答案：A) Inform somebody of your plan.12月四六级真题答案去哪找？12月16日锁定###四六级频道，超全四级真题及答案考试结束后免费供应，想第一时间查答案的小朋友快来查看！！！！更多四级真题答案请见>>>。

The number of people watching TV.英语四级听力材料Television now plays such an important part in so many people's lives that it is essential for us to try to decide whether it is a blessing or a curse. Obviously television hasboth advantages and disadvantages. But do the former outweigh the latter? In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. They just sit comfortably at home and enjoy endless series of programs rather than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere. Some people, however, maintain that this is precisely where the danger lies. The television viewer needs to do nothing. [26]He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part. Secondly, television keeps one informed about current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical fascination for us. [26]We get so used to looking at its movements, so dependent on its pictures that it begins to dominate our lives. There are many other arguments for and against television. [26]The poor quality of its program is often criticized. But it is undoubtedly a great comfort to many lonely elderly people. And does it corrupt or instruct our children? [27]I think we must realize that television initself is neither good nor bad. [28]It is the uses to whichit is put that determine its value to society.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.英语四级听力参考答案：26. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the disadvantages of TV?准确答案：A解析：本文分析电视的利弊，它带来益处的同时也有潜在的弊端。

These ceremonies are a time for family and friends to gather and celebrate a student's completion of an academic degree. Most ceremonies are traditional. The students wear caps and gowns over their clothing. One by one, their names are called. They go to the front, shake hands with school officials and receive a document of some kind. But first they must sit and listen to speeches. Colleges and universities often invite famous guests or former students who have been successful.

Because she doesn't want to dine far from the office.C. Because she doesn't care what people think of her.D. Because they would believe she is doing business.英语四级听力材料In the world of business, it is not always easy for women to do the same things as men. Consider the working dinner.In order to do your job well, it's important to sometimes see clients and business contacts away from the office. [26]In a more relaxed atmosphere, you can get to know your business partner better. In the end, after all, people do business with people they like.Women start out at a disadvantage because it's tough to invite men out for a game of golf or tennis. Men usually prefer to play sports with other men.You might think that restaurants are the perfect playing field. But they can be dangerous ground. [27]If people from the office see two men they know having dinner together, they think it's business. If colleagues see a woman dining with a man, they often wonder if it's another kind of business.One answer is to take another colleague or client to dinner. Of course, this isn't always convenient. So when I can't do this, I take guys out to dinner one-to-one-to places where I'm most likely to see colleagues. [28]The more your colleagues see you having working dinners with different men, the more they know it is part of your business style.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. According to the passage, why do people like to see clients away from the office?准确答案：A解析：选项以To开头表目的。

参考答案2019.12第三套真题参考范文Dear Jack ,I am delighted to hear that you are going to learn Chinese in a Chinese university. Since you have asked for my advice about choosing which university, I will try to give you some useful suggestions here.It is well known that Peking University is a great place to learn Chinese. There are several factors accounting for this choice and the following are the most typical ones. First and foremost, Peking University is one of the top universities in China and the birthplace of many great minds. Therefore, it can provide high-quality teaching resources, which is essential for a foreigner learner.In addition, Beijing is the capital of China and there are various historic buildings. They provide foreign students a good chance to know Chinese culture and history.I hope you will find these suggestions helpful and wish you all the best.Yours,Li Ming26-30 OADCG 31-35 HKNEF36-40 FIDGB 41-45 EHAJC46-50 BCDBA 51-55 DDABA参考翻译The full name of China's Han ethnic group is made up of family name and given name. One characteristic of the Chinese name is that the family name always comes first, followed by given name. For thousands of years, the father's family name has been passed on from generation to generation. However, it is not uncommon now for a child to have the mother’s family name. Generally speaking, a given name contains one or two Chinese characters, which carries the parents' hope for the kid. Therefore, it's easy to infer from the name what kind of person the parents expect their child to be, or what kind of life to lead. Parents attach great importance to naming their kid as names usually go with them for a whole life.资料来源于网络，大学生资源共享平台收集整理。

And only a few of them bug humans. Most ants live in the woods, or out in nature. There, they keep other creatures in check, distribute seed s, and clean dead and decaying materials from the ground. A very small p ercentage of ants do harm to humans. But those are incredibly challengi ng to control. They are small enough to easily slip inside your house. Liv e in colonies that number in the tens of thousands to the hundreds of thou sands, and reproduce quickly. That makes them good at getting in, and h ard to kick out. Once they settle in, these insects start affecting your hom e. In addition to barging ants, other species can cause different kinds of damage. Some, like carpenter ants, can undermine a home structure, w hile others interfere with the electrical units. Unfortunately, our homes ar e very attractive to ants, because it provides everything the colony need s to survive, such as food, water, and shelter.So, how can we prevent a nts from getting into our homes? Most important of all, avoid giving ants a ny access to food, particularly sugary food because ants have a sweet too th. We also need to clean up spills as soon as they occur and store food i n air-tight containers. Even garbage attracts ants, so empty your trash as often as possible. And store your outside garbage in a lidded can, while a way from doors and windows.16. What does the passage say about ants?A) They help farmers keep diseases incheck.B) Many species remain unknown toscientists.C) Only a few species cause trouble tohumans.D) They live in incredibly well-organizedcolonies.17. What do we learn from the passage about carpenter ants?A) They are larger than many other species.B) They can cause damage to people’s homes.C) They can survive a long time withoutwater.D) They like to form colonies in electricalunits.18. What can we do to prevent ants from getting into our homes?A) Deny them access to any food.B) Keep doors and windows shut.C) Destroy their colonies close by.D) Refrain from eating sugary food.Passage 2My research focus is on what happens to our immune system as we age. So the job of the immune system is to fight infections. It also protects us f rom viruses and from autoimmune diseases. We know that as we get olde r, it's easier for us to get infections. So older adults have more chances of falling ill. This is evidence that our immune system really doesn't functi on so well when we age. In most of our work, when we were looking at ol der adults who've got an illness, we always have to have health controls. So we work very closely with a great group of volunteers called the One T housand Elders, these volunteers are all 65 or over but in good health. Th ey come to the university to provide us with blood samples to be interview ed and to help us to carry out a whole range of research. The real impact of our research is going to be on health in old age. At the moment, we ar e living much longer. Life expectancy is increasing at 2 years for every de cade, that means an extra 5 hours a day. I want to make sure that older a dults are still able to enjoy their old age, and that they are not spending time in hospital with infections, feeling unwell and being generally weak. W e want people to be healthy even when they are old.19. What is the focus of the speaker’s research?A) The function of the human immune system.B) The cause of various auto-immunediseases.C) The viruses that may infect the humanimmune system.D) The chan ge in people’s immune system asthey get older.20.

英语四级听力材料
In the world of business, it is not always easy for women to do the same things as men. Consider the working dinner.
In order to do your job well, it's important to sometimes see clients and business contacts away from the office. [26]In a more relaxed atmosphere, you can get to know your business partner better. In the end, after all, people do business with people they like.
Women start out at a disadvantage because it's tough to invite men out for a game of golf or tennis. Men usually prefer to play sports with other men.
You might think that restaurants are the perfect playing field. But they can be dangerous ground. [27]If people from the office see two men they know having dinner together, they think it's business. If colleagues see a woman dining with a man, they often wonder if it's another kind of business.
One answer is to take another colleague or client to dinner. Of course, this isn't always convenient. So when I can't do this, I take guys out to dinner one-to-one-to places where I'm most likely to see colleagues. [28]The more your colleagues see you having working dinners with different men, the more they know it is part of your business style.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have
just heard.
26. According to the passage, why do people like to see clients away from the office?
准确答案：A
