1992年1月试题
1992年1月大学英语四级(CET-4)真题试卷Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A)，B)，C), and D). You shoulddecide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a singleline through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Time was—and not so many years ago, either—when the average citizen took a pretty dim view of banks and Banking. That this was so, it should be said, was to no small extent the fault of banks and bankers themselves. Banks used to be—and a few still are—forbidding structures. Behind the little barred windows were, more often than not, elderly gentlemen whose expression of friendliness reflected the size of the customer’s account, and nothing less than a few hundred thousand in the bank could have inspired the suggestion of a smile.And yet the average bank for many year was, to the average citizen, a fearful, if necessary, instrument for dealing with business—usually big business. But somewhere in the past quarter century, banks Began to grow human, even pleasant, and started to attract the little man. It is possible that this movement began in medium-sized towns, or in small towns where people know each other by their first names, and spread to big towns. At any rate, the results have been remarkable.The movement to “humanize” hanks, of course, received a big push during t he war, when more and more women were employed to do work previously performed by men. Also more and more “little” people found themselves in need of personal loans, as taxes became heavier and as the practice of installment (分期付款) buying broke down the previously long—held concept that there was something almost morally wrong about being in debt. All sorts of people began to discover that the intelligent use of credit (信贷) could be extremely helpful.21. The author believes that the unfriendly atmosphere in banks many years ago was chiefly due to________.A) the outer appearance of bank buildings B) unfriendliness of customers toward banksC) economic pressure of the time D) the attitude of hankers22. The banks of many years ago showed interest only in ________.A) regular visitors B) rich customers C) friendly businessmen D) elderly gentlemen23. When did banks begin to grow human?A) Sometime before the war. B) A few years ago. C) During the war. D) In the last century.24. What helped to push the “humanization” of banks?A) More and more “little” people became customers of banks.B) The elderly gentlemen in banks were replaced by women.C) More banks were set up in small and medium-sized towns.D) T he size of the customer’s account was greatly increased.25. Average People seldom borrowed money from bank in the bank because ________.A) the bank buildings looked forbidding B) they were comparatively rich before the warC) they thought it was not proper to be in debt D) they rarely spent more than they could earnPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Last summer, Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole announced a new rule: Unless states representing two-thirds of the country’s population pass compulsory (强制性的) seat-belt-use laws by April 1989, all new vehicles will have to be fitted with air bags or automatic seat belts.The rule wouldn’t have been necessary but for one simple fact. Even though seat belts could pre vent nearly half of the deaths in fatal car accidents, 85 percent of the population simply won’t wear them.Why not? Behavioral engineers have found that there are all sorts of reasons—usually unstated. These are some of the most popular. It’s safer to be thrown from a car man trapped. According to E. Scott Geller, that’s a faulty argument. “In fact”, he says, “being thrown from a car is twenty-five times more dangerous than being trapped”.It won’t happen to me; I’m a good driver. But what about the other person who may be a terrible driver? The data show that the average incidence (发生率) for all accidents in one per driver every 10 years.My car will end up underwater or on fire, and I won’t be able to get out. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), only 0.5 percent of all injury-producing accidents occur under these conditions. “If you’re wearing a belt, you’ve got a better chance of being conscious and not having your legs broken—distinct advantages in getting out of a dan gerous situation”.I’m only going a few blocks. Yet 80 percent of accidents happen at speeds or less that 25 miles per hour, 75 percent happen within 25 miles of home.26. Before 1989, in the United States ________.A) the use of seat belts was not compulsory for the majority of the populationB) a new law requiring the use of seat belts had just been passedC) people had to choose between the use of seat belts or the use of air bagsD) almost fifty percent of the people involved in car accidents were saved by seat Belts27. The word “trapped” (Para. 3, Line 3) means to be ________.A) held up in a traffic jam B) confined in the car C) caught in an accident D) pulled into a car28. One of the reasons why many drivers refuse to wear seat belts is because ________.A) they don’t think that it is comfortable to wear seat beltsB) they don’t believe that an accident involving a terrible driver is highly probableC) they believe that no danger is involved in just driving a few blocksD) they think that few drivers are willing to wear seat belts29. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A) seat belts should be replaced by air bagsB) eighty-five percent of all drivers are likely to Break traffic rulesC) all drivers, whether good or bad, are liable to have an accident at one time or anotherD) wearing seat belts will get drivers out of dangerous situations30. The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is ________.A) to urge the government to pass the law sooner B) to tell how dangerous car-driving can beC) to criticise those who refuse to use seat belts D) to prove the necessity of the new rulePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.For well over 2000 years the world’s great religions have taught the virtues of a trusting heart. Now there is another reason to merit the wisdom of the ages: scientific evidence indicates that those with trusting hearts will live longer, healthier lives.As a result of the work published in the 1970s by two pioneering heart specialists, Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman, nearly every American is aware that blood Type. A people are impatient, and easily moved to hostility and anger. Many have come to believe that Type As are at a much higher risk of suffering heart attack or dying of heart disease than others.The driving force behind hostility is a cynical (愤世嫉俗) mistrust of others. If we expect others to mistreat us, we are seldom disappointed. This generates anger and leads us to respond with hostility.The most characteristic attitude of a cynic is being suspicious of the motives of people he doesn’t know. Imagine you are waiting for an elevator and it stops two floors above for longer than usual. How inconsiderate (不替别人着想的) You think. In a few seconds, you have drawn hostile conclusions about unseen people and their motives.Meanwhile, your cynical mistrust is leading to noticeable physical consequences. Your voice rises. The rate and depth of your breathing increases. Your heart is beating faster and harder, and the muscles of your arms and legs become t ight. You feel “charged up”, ready for action.If you frequently experience these feelings, you may be at increased risk of developing serious health problems. Anger can add to the risk of heart and other diseases.31. According to the author, people with trusting hearts are ________.A) usually intelligent and wise B) usually very religiousC) less likely to get heart diseases D) not likely to be mistreated by others32. The book by Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman most probably discusses ________.A) friendliness and hostility B) trust and mistrust of peopleC) heart diseases and death rate D) people’s characters and their blood types33. According to the passage, if you have a fixed idea in mind that people will mistreat you, you willalways find it ________.A) to be disappointing B) to be pleasing C) to be wrong D) to be so34. A cynic, in the passage, is a person ________.A) who is always ready to fightB) who usually has doubts about the people around himC) whose behaviour usually leads to serious health problemsD) whose behaviour usually seems strange to the people he knows35. The author’s intention in writing the passage is to ________.A) advise people to be patientB) analyze the danger of heart diseasesC) persuade people to be trustfulD) praise the wisdom of the old peoplePassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.“Time is a problem for kids,” states a news report for a new Swiss watch. Children in some countries “learn time slowly” because “they don’t wear watches” and “parents don’t really know how to teach them time”. The kids grow up with this handicap and become adults—and then can’t get to work on time. Is there an answer to this problem? of course—it’s the Flik Flak, made by a famous Swis s watch company.The Flik Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10. The watch itself does not teach kids how to tell time, of course it merely “captures their imagination” by presenting the “hour” hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the “minute” hand as a tall blue boy named Flik. Flik points to corresponding “blue“ minutes on the dial, while Flak points to red hour numbers. The characters and the colors combined with parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time.The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band. Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flik Flak, calls it Kidproof: if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine.” The produ ct is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25. Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing for kids to tell time; it’s quite another for them to be on time.36. From the news report we know that ________.A) parents are patient when teaching children time B) parents have little idea of how to teachchildren timeC) children tend to learn time quickly D) children enjoy wearing the Flik Flak watch37. The author doesn’t seem to believe ________.A) children will be on time if they have learnt how to tell timeB) a Flik Flak can help parents teach their children how to tell timeC) the Flik Flak can capture children’s imaginationD) children usua lly have trouble telling time if they don’t wear watches38. The word “handicap” (Para. 1, Line 4) means ________.A) displeasure B) discouragement C) disappointment D) disadvantage39. Flik and Flak in the passage stand for ________.A) a tall boy and a beautiful girl B) the minute hand and the hour handC) the Swiss watch company D) the designers of the watch40. The United States sales manager calls the new watch kidproof because ________.A) it is designed to teach children to be on time B) it proves to be effective in teaching childrentimeC) it is made so as not to be easily damaged by children D) it is the children’s favourite watchPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Why she say this? Why he do that? Sometimes the reason is obvious, for example, someone is driving down the street, the light turns red, they stop, why?W: Because they have to, legally I mean.M: Exactly! In this case the reason is obvious, so we usually don’t question it. But when the reason is not so obvious and especially when the behavior could have negative consequences, we’ll more likely to feel a need to explain the causes of the behavior. Social psychologists have a term for this, for the process of explaining the causes of behavior, it’s called causal attribution. And one theory suggests, there’s a pattern in the way we go about attributing causes to people’s behavior. According to this theory, there are two categories of reasons: internal factors and external factors. Again, Lisa, say you’re driving down the road and all of a sudden some guy turn into the lane right in front of you, and you have to slam on your brake to avoid an accident. How do you react?W: I’ll probably get very angry.M: Because….W: Well, he’s not paying attention, he’s a bad driver.M: So you automatically attribute the driver’s behavior to an internal factor. He himself is to blame because he is careless.W: So if I said it was because of heavy traffic or something, I’d be attributing his behavior to an external factor, something beyond his control. M: Good. Now how do you usually explain our own negative behavior?W: We blame external factors.M: That’s right.35．A．Judging people’s behavior.B．Common causes of anger.C．Changing people’s attitudes.D．The effects of negative behavior.正确答案：A解析：What?is?the?main?topic?of?the?discussion?36．A．When they’re unable to control the person’s behavior.B．When the causes of the behavior are obvious.C．When the consequences of the behavior are unpleasant.D．When the behavior is expected.正确答案：C解析：According?to?the?Professor,?when?are?people?likely?to?try?to?explain?someone?els e’s?behavior?37．A．It’s not always clear why people behave in certain ways.B．People usually blame others for their mistakes.C．Certain conditions cause drivers to behave strangely.D．The reason for some behavior is obvious.正确答案：D解析：The?Professor?mentions?an?example?of?a?driver?who?stops?at?a?red?light.?What? does?he?use?the?example?to?demonstrate??38．A．They usually accept responsibility.B．They blame factors beyond their controlC．They complain about their personal problems.D．They compare their behavior to the behavior of others.正确答案：B解析：According?to?the?discussion,?how?do?most?people?explain?their?own?negative?be havior?听力原文：Today, I’d like to talk about some of the changes land can undergo, specifically desertification, that’s the process through which land becomes part of a desert. Now a desert is defined as a place that receives a certain maximum amount of rainfall. But you may not know that it usually takes more than just a lack of water to turn productive land into a desert. There are several specific human activities that when combined with a lack of rainfall encourage desertification. For example, over cultivation, growing more crops than soil can support. The soil loses its nutrients, so it needs either to be fertilized or to be left unused for at least a season. But if neither of these things happens, if these nutrients in the soil don’t get replaced, the damaged soil stops producing. Another cause of desertification is overgrazing. That’s when the grasses and trees and shrubs of an area are expected to feed more animals than they reasonably can. Too many animals eating in the same area will kill the vegetation. And because it’s the roots of this vegetation that hold much of the soil together, when too much of the vegetation dies, the soil erodes. But maybe the most ironic example of human behavior that can lead to desertification is irrigation. It may seem to run counter to common sense to say that introducing water into an area can cause it to become more like a desert. But there are plenty of bad irrigation practices that do just that. Bringing in too much salty water and then not providing adequate drainage for it will fill the soil with salt, and turn the area into a desert.39．A．Settlement patterns in desert.B．Causes of desertification.C．Plant adaptation to desert conditions:D．Regions most affected by desertification.正确答案：B解析：What?is?the?main?topic?of?the?talk?40．A．It receives more nutrients than it can absorb.B．It becomes oversaturated with water.C．It loses the ability to support insect lite.D．It loses nutrients that aren’t replaced.正确答案：D解析：How?is?the?soil?damaged?by?over?cultivation??41．A．Too many animals eating the plants ill one small area.B．Planting too much vegetation in one small area.C．Too many people building houses in one small area.D．Bringing together the wrong kinds of animals and plants.正确答案：A解析：What?is?over?grazing?42．A．The animals overfertilize the soil.B．Dead plant roots can’t hold the soil together.C．The wrong types of plants are left standing.D．There is a buildup of plant and animal matter.正确答案：B解析：How?does?over?grazing?damage?soil?43．A．It can cause flooding in anB．It can carry diseases that affect animals.C．It can introduce too much salt into the soil.D．It can divert water from important crops.正确答案：C解析：According?to?the?speaker,?what?is?the?main?problem?with?irrigation??听力原文：I’ve mentioned how DNA have solved many mysteries in biology. And today I want to talk about how it might relate to hypothesis about the travels of the green turtle. Every winter some green turtles make a 2000 km journey from Brazil to Ascension Island in the middle of Atlantic, where they mate and lay eggs. But the question is why do they travel so far to lay their eggs? One researcher hypothesized that there are two parts to the explanation. One is natal homing, the instinct that drives green turtles to always return to the beach where they were hatched.The second part has to do with continental drift, the theory that the positions of earth continents have changed considerably overtime. Brazil and Ascension Island were once much closer together, and continental drift drove them apart. But the turtles kept on going back to the island where they hatched. However another scientist question this explanation on the ground that it would be very unlikely that conditions would allowe generations of turtles over hundreds of millions of years to keep going back to the same nesting ground every single year. So, what is the connection to DNA? Well, there are groups of green turtles that nest in locations other than the Ascension Island. If green turtles always return to the place where they were hatched, then the turtles that have been going to the Ascension Island to nest would’ve been genetically isolated long enough to have DNA that was very different from the green turtles that nest else where. But when scientists examine DNA from these turtles, their DNA wasn’t that different from the DNA of the turtles that go to Ascension Island. Do you have a shock? Well, we still don’t know the answer to the question about why a certain group of turtles go to Ascension Island, but this study was a nice example of the usefulness of DNA analysis to biology.44．A．A possible explanation for why green turtles nest in certain locations.B．Physical differences among various groups of green turtles.C．Several examples of mating behavior in green turtles.D．The impact of continental drift on the diet of green turtles.正确答案：A解析：What?does?the?Prof?mainly?discuss?45．A．Teach their young how to swim.B．Mate and lay eggs.C．Hide from predators.D．Eat different kinds of fish.正确答案：B解析：What?do?green?turtles?do?when?they?get?to?Ascension?Island?46．A．Its geography is similar to Brazil’s.B．Their instinct leads them to the place they were hatched.C．There are other species of turtles located there.D．Its climate is milder than Brazil’s.正确答案：B解析：According?to?one?hypothesis,?why?do?green?turtles?go?to?Ascension?Island?47．A．To discover how long their ancestors lived.B．To analyze how their appearance has evolved.C．To find out how a disease has spreadD．To determine how closely groups of turtles are related.正确答案：D解析：How?is?DNA?used?in?the research?on?green?turtles?听力原文：As I am sure you are aware, history is full of people who were so admired that over the centuries they become almost mythical figures. George Washington is a good example. Everyone knows this story about his chopping down the cherry tree when he was young and bravely confessing to his mischief later. People greatly admired Washington’s integrity. And so, out of that, this story evolved, even though no one knows for sure whether the incident ever occurred. Then there is the American Indian, Poke Hunters, beloved by history for making peace between the English Colonies and the American Indians. The history of her life has also become somewhat mythical. At the historical society exhibit next week, we’ll see many artistic works depicting the major events of her life. And while we are there, keeping in mind that much of what you’ll see in the paintings reflects how much she was admired, but not necessarily the fact of her life. For instance, one painting shows her saving the life of Jon Smith, an English Colonist, who had been captured by her tribe. Smith, so the story goes, was about to be executed when twelve-years-old Poke Hunters lay her head on top of his. Tells you a lot about her courage. But Jon Smith himself related this story only years after Poke Hunters had become famous, which suggests that he may have embellished the truth a little bit, as many of the works that we’ll see in next week may have done. Something else to remember: paintings portrait her physical appearance in many different ways, but always flattening ways. Yet only one picture of her was ever painted while she was living.48．A．To demonstrate George Washington’s survival skills.B．To show that some stories about famous people may be historically inaccurate.C．To describe a historical event that was portrayed in a painting.D．To tell a story that George Washington told about himself.正确答案：B解析：Why?does?the?speaker?mention?the?story?about?George?Washington?and?the?cherr y?tree?49．A．She led her tribe to victory against the colonistsB．She was considered to be extremely beautiful.C．She created popular American Indian art.D．She helped establish peace between her tribe and the colonists正确答案：D解析：According?the?speaker,?why?is?Poke?Hunters?famous??50．A．They have only recently been discovered.B．They were painted by the colonists who knew her.C．Most of them portray her as a child.D．They might not reflect her true appearance.正确答案：D解析：What?does?the?speaker?imply?about?most?of?the?paintings?of?Poke?Hunters?Sections Two：Structure & Written Expression51．______ crumbles readily when exposed to a moist, acid atmosphere, but the stone is durable in a dry atmosphere.A．The surface of marble isB．The surface of marble, whichC．Although the surfitce of marbleD．The surface of marble正确答案：D52．By using their trunks, elephants can tell the shape of all object and ______ is rough or smooth, or hot or cold.A．itB．whether itC．howD．since it正确答案：B53．In 1989 Carret Hongo was chosen as ______ for the Pulitzer Prize in poetry.A．his being one of the finalistsB．to be one of the finalistsC．one of the finalistsD．the one finalist who正确答案：C54．The Moon is much closer to Earth ______ is the Sun, and thus it had greater influence on the tides.A．unlikeB．thanC．butD．where正确答案：B55．The brain of an average adult is one of the largest organs of the body ______ about three pounds.A．weighsB．is weighedC．weighingD．to weigh it正确答案：C56．Throughout history ______ different representations for numbers and for the basic process of counting.A．have been manyB．them have been manyC．manyD．when many正确答案：B57．Democratic governments constantly face the problem of balancing ______ the individual with the needs of society.A．the rights ofB．to the rights forC．for the rights toD．with the rights by正确答案：A58．Connecticut was the fifth of the original thirteen states ______ the Constitution of the United States.A．ratifiedB．ratifyC．to ratifyD．have ratified正确答案：C59．The chemical composition of sandstone is the same as ______A．that of sandB．that sand isC．sand is thatD．what of sand正确答案：A60．Hydrofoils can exceed 75 miles per hour, as compared with conventional watercraft, whose maximum speeds ______ approach 50 miles per hour.A．are rarelyB．rarelyC．of rarelyD．they rarely正确答案：B61．It was novelist and poet ______ in 1968 founded Jackson State University’s institute for the Study of the History, Life, and Culture of Black People.A．Margaret Walker didB．Margaret WalkerC．Margaret Walker whoD．Margaret Walker and正确答案：C62．Before the Europeans arrived, American Indians were using virgin copper ______ into ornaments, knives, and other artifacts.A．Which was hammeringB．which hammeredC．was hammeredD．hammered正确答案：D63．In western North America ______ form the Great Divide, which separates the areas from which waters flow either eastward to the Atlantic or westward to the Pacific.A．the Rocky MountainsB．where the Rocky MountainsC．the Rocky Mountains in whichD．there are the Rocky Mountains。

It is difficult to imagine today the dark depression years when gloom hung over the land and a third of our population was unemployed, destitute and hungry. The nation that Roosevelt inherited in 1933 was in the depths of its most serious economic setback, (The Great Depression).How did he work, what methods got us out the Depression, and by what means did he manage to remove the gloom and build a never, more prosperous nation?

There is no time for boredom. Pascal Brukner says that many people avoid this state of mind by "interrupt-ing their life by filling it with nonsense." He complains that time has become a joke and 一the worst of it is wives and children are always around demanding attention.There is no place to hide, the day doesn’t cost the effort of dressing up.

Each of the passags below is fnllowed by some questions. For each question four answersare given. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions.Put your choice in the ANSWER SIIEET. (30 points)1It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the mst ofpetrol and the quick pace of modem life,but manners on the roads are beaoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men beemonsters behind the wheel. It is aU vvy well, again, tohave a tiger in the tank, but to have onein the driver's seat is arnother matter altogether. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rudeand inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule.Perhaps the situation calls for a 'Be Kind to OtherDrivers' campaign, otherwise it may get -pletely out of hand.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headedand good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized be-havior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions ofmotoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helpsto create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modem tralfic conditions. Butsuch acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don't evenseem able to recognize politeness when they see it. However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver whobrakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a sidestreet at solne hazard to following traffic,when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across azebra crossing into the path of oning vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The samegoes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It always a-mazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.A veteran driver, whose mallners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists leamt tofilter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give riseto bad temper.

考研真题1992考研英语一真题
考研真题1992考研英语一真题考研，对于许多学子来说，是一场充满挑战和机遇的旅程。
而研究历年的考研真题，无疑是备考过程中的重要环节。
今天，我们就来深入探讨一下 1992 年考研英语一真题。
首先，让我们从阅读理解部分说起。
这部分的文章题材多样，涵盖了科技、文化、社会等多个领域。
其中，有一篇关于环境保护的文章令人印象深刻。
它不仅考察了我们对于英语词汇和语法的掌握，更重要的是，考验了我们理解复杂信息、提取关键要点以及推理判断的能力。
比如，在其中的一道题目中，要求我们理解作者对于某一环保措施的态度。
这就需要我们仔细揣摩文章中的用词和语气，捕捉那些微妙的情感暗示。
如果只是单纯地追求阅读速度，而忽略了对细节的把握，很容易就会出错。
再来看完形填空部分。
这一部分主要考查的是词汇的运用和上下文的理解。
1992 年的真题中，出现了一些较为常见但容易混淆的词汇，需要我们凭借扎实的词汇基础和对语境的敏感度来做出正确的选择。
例如，有一道题涉及到几个近义词的辨析，需要我们根据文章的具体情境来判断哪个词最为恰当。
这就要求我们在平时的学习中，不仅要记住单词的意思，还要了解它们的用法和搭配。
翻译部分也是不容忽视的。
那年的翻译题目，句子结构较为复杂，包含了各种从句和短语。
要准确地翻译出这些句子，不仅需要我们熟悉英语的语法规则，还需要有良好的中文表达能力。
比如，有一个句子中包含了一个长定语从句，我们需要先理清句子的逻辑关系，然后用通顺、符合中文习惯的语言表达出来。
这对于我们的语言转换能力是一个很大的挑战。
写作部分，题目通常会要求我们就某个话题发表自己的观点。
在1992 年的真题中，可能是关于教育、社会现象或者个人成长等方面的话题。
要写好作文，清晰的逻辑结构和丰富的词汇表达是关键。
我们需要在开头明确地提出自己的观点，然后在主体部分用具体的例子和论据来支持观点，最后在结尾进行总结和升华。
同时，要注意避免语法错误和拼写错误，保证语言的准确性。
