You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Social isolation poses more health risks than obesity or smoking 15 cigarettes a day, according to research published by Brigham Young University. The 26 is that loneliness is a huge, if silent, risk factor.Loneliness affects physical health in two ways. First, it produces stress hormones that can lead to many health problems. Second, people who live alone are less likely to go to the doctor 27 , to exercise or to eat a healthy diet.Public health experts in many countries are 28 how to address widespread loneliness in our society. Last year Britain even appointed a minister for loneliness. “Loneliness 29 almost every one of us at some point,” its minister for loneliness Baroness Barran said. “It can lead to very serious health 30 for individu als who become isolated and disconnected.”Barran started a “Let's Talk Loneliness” campaign that 31 difficult conversations across Britain. He is now suppor ting “ 32 benches,” which are public seating areas where people are encouraged to go and chat with one another. The minister is also 33 to stop public transportation from being cut in ways that leave people isolated.More than one-fifth of adults in both the United States and Britain said in a 2018 34 that they often or always feel lonely. More than half of American adults are unmarried, and researchers have found that even among those who are married, 30% of relationships are 35 strained. A quarter of Americans now live alone, and as the song says, one is the loneliest number.Section BDirections:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The start of high school doesn’t have to be stressfulA)This month, more than 4 million students across the nation will begin high school. Manywill do well. But many will not. Consider that nearly two-thirds of students will experience the “ninth-grade shock,” which refers to a dramatic drop in a student’s academic performance.Some students cope with this shock by avoiding challenges. For instance, they may drop difficult coursework. Others may experience a hopelessness that results in failing their core classes, such as English, science and math.B)This should matter a great deal to parents, teachers and policymakers. Ultimately it shouldmat ter to the students themselves and society at large, because students’ experience of transitioning (过渡)to the ninth grade can have long-term consequences not only for the students themselves but for their home communities. We make these observations as research psychologists who have studied how schools and families can help young people thrive.C)In the new global economy, students who fail to finish the ninth grade with passing grades incollege preparatory coursework are very unlikely to graduate on time and go on to get jobs.One study has calculated that the lifetime benefit to the local economy for a single additional student who completes high school is half a million dollars or more. This is based on higher earnings and avoided costs in health care, crime, welfare dependence and other things.D)The consequences of doing poorly in the ninth grade can impact more than students’ ability tofind a good job. It can also impact the extent to which they enjoy life. Students lose many of the friends they turned to for support when they move from the eighth to the ninth grade. One study of ninth-grade students found that 50 percent of friendships among ninth graders changed from one month to the next, signaling striking instability in friendships.E)In addition, studies find the first year of high school typically shows one of the greatestincreases in depression of any year over the lifespan. Researchers think that one explanation is that ties to friends are broken while academic demands are rising. Furthermore, most adult cases of clinical depression first emerge in adolescence(青春期). The World Health Organization reports that depression has the greatest burden of disease worldwide, in terms of the total cost of treatment and the loss of productivity.F)Given all tha t’s riding on having a successful ninth grade experience, it pays to explore whatcan be done to meet the academic, social and emotional challenges of the transition to high school. So far, our studies have yielded one main insight: Students’ beliefs about change—their beliefs about whether people are stuck one way forever, or whether people can change their personalities and abilities—are related to their ability to cope, succeed academically and maintain good mental health. Past research has called these beliefs “mindsets (思维模式) ,”with a “fixed mindset” referring to the belief that people cannot change and a “growth mindset”referring to the belief that people can change.G)In one recent study, we examined 360 adolescents’ beliefs about the nature of “smartness”—that is, their fixed mindsets about intelligence. We then assessed biological stress responses for students whose grades were dropping by examining their stress hormones (荷尔蒙). Students who believed that intelligence is fixed—that you are stuck being “not smart” if you struggle in school—showed higher levels of stress hormones when their grades were declining at the beginning of the ninth grade. If students believed that intelligence could improve—that is to say, when they held more of a growth mindset of intelligence—they showed lower levels of stress hormones when their grades were declining. This was an exciting result because it showed that the body’s stress responses are not determined solely by one’s grades. Instead, declining grades only predicted worse stress hormones among students who believed that worsening grades were a permanent and hopeless state of affairs.H)We also investigated the social side of the high school transition. In this study, instead ofteaching students that their smartness can change, we taught them that their social standing—that is, whether they are bullied or excluded or left out—can change over time. We then looked at high school students’ stress responses to daily social difficulties. That is, we taught them a growth mindset about their social lives. In this study, students came into the laboratory and were asked to give a public speech in front of upper-year students. The topic of the speech was what makes one popular in high school. Following this, students had to complete a difficult mental math task in front of the same upper-year students.I)Experiment results showed that students who were not taught that people can change showedpoor stress responses. When these students gave the speech, their blood vessels contracted and their hearts pumped less blood through the body—both responses that the body shows when it is preparing for damage or defeat after a physical threat. Then they gave worse speeches and made more mistakes in math. But when students were taught that people can change, they had better responses to stress, in part because they felt like they had the resources to deal with the demanding situation. Students who got the growth mindset intervention (干预)showed less-contracted blood vessels and their hearts pumped more blood—both of which contributed to more oxygen getting to the brain, and, ultimately, better performance on the speech and mental math tasks.J)These findings lead to several possibilities that we are investigating further. First, we are working to replicate (复制) these findings in more diverse school communities. We want to know in which types of schools and for which kinds of students these growth mindset ideas help young people adapt to the challenges of high school. We also hope to learn how teachers, parents or school counselors can help students keep their ongoing academic or social difficulties in perspective. We wonder what would happen if schools helped to make beliefsabout the potential for change and improvement a larger feature of the overall school culture, especially for students starting the ninth grade.36. The number of people experiencing depression shows a sharp increase in the first year of high school.37. According to one study, students’ academic performance is not the only decisive factor of their stress responses.38. Researchers would like to explore further how parents and schools can help ninth graders by changing their mindset.39. According to one study, each high school graduate contributes at least 500,000 dollars to the local economy.40. In one study, students were told their social position in school is not unchangeable.41. It is reported that depression results in enormous economic losses worldwide.42. One study showed that friendships among ninth graders were far from stable.43. More than half of students will find their academic performance declining sharply when they enter the ninth grade.44. Researchers found through experiments that students could be taught to respond to stress in a more positive way.45. It is beneficial to explore ways to cope with the challenges facing students entering high school.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.Sugar shocked. That describes the reaction of many Americans this week following revelations that, 50 years ago, the sugar industry paid Harvard scientists for research that shifted the focus away from sugar’s role in heart disease — and put the spotlight (注意的中心) squarely on dietary fat.What might surprise consumers is just how many present-day nutrition studies are still funded by the food industry. Nutrition scholar Marion Nestle of New York University spent a year informally tracking industry-funded studies on food. “Roughly 90% of nearly 170 studies f avored the sponsor’s interest,” Nestle tells us. Other systematic reviews support her conclusions.For instance, studies funded by Welch Foods —the brand behind Welch’s 100% Grape Juice — found that drinking Concord grape juice daily may boost brain function. Another, funded by Quaker Oats, concluded, as a Daily Mail story put it, that “hot oatmeal(燕麦粥) breakfast keeps you full for longer.”Last year, The New York Times revealed how Coca-Cola was funding well-known scientists and organizations promoting a message that, in the battle against weight gain, people should paymore attention to exercise and less to what they eat and drink. Coca-Cola also released data detailing its funding of several medical institutions and associations between 2010 and 2015.“It’s certainly a problem that so much research in nutrition and health is funded by industry,” says Bonnie Liebman, director of nutrition at the Center for Science in the Public Interest. “When the food indus try pays for research, it often gets what it pays for.” And what it pays for is often a pro-industry finding.Given this environment, consumers should be skeptical(怀疑的)when reading the latest finding in nutrition science and ignore the latest study that p ops up on your news feed. “Rely on health experts who’ve reviewed all the evidence,” Liebman says, pointing to the official government Dietary Guidelines, which are based on reviews of hundreds of studies.“And that expert advice remains pretty simple, ”says Nestle. “We know what healthy diets are — lots of vegetables, not too much junk food, balanced calories. Everything else is really difficult to do experimentally.”46. What did Harvard scientists do 50 years ago?A) They raised public awareness of the possible causes of heart disease.B) They turned public attention away from the health risks of sugar to fat.C) They placed the sugar industry in the spotlight with their new findings.D) They conducted large-scale research on the role of sugar in people's health.47. What does Marion Nestle say about present-day nutrition studies?A) They took her a full year to track and analyze.B) Most of them are based on systematic reviews.C) They depend on funding from the food industries.D) Nearly all of them serve the purpose of the funders.48. What did Coca-Cola-funded studies claim?A) Exercise is more important to good health than diet.B) Choosing what to eat and drink is key to weight control.C) Drinking Coca-Cola does not contribute to weight gain.D) The food industry plays a major role in fighting obesity.49. What does Liebman say about industry-funded research?A) It simply focuses on nutrition and health.B) It causes confusion among consumers.C) It rarely results in objective findings.D) It runs counter to the public interest.50. What is the author's advice to consumers?A) Follow their intuition in deciding what to eat.B) Be doubtful of diet experts' recommendations.C) Ignore irrelevant information on their news feed.D) Think twice about new nutrition research findings.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Success was once defined as being able to stay at a company for a long time and move up the corporate ladder. The goal was to reach the top, accumulate wealth and retire to a life of ease. My father is a successful senior executive. In 35 years, he worked for only three companies.When I started my career, things were already different. If you weren’t changing companies every three or four years, you simply weren’t getting ahead in your career. But back then, if you were a consultant or freelancer (自由职业者), people would wonder what was wrong with you. They would assume you had problems getting a job.Today, consulting or freelancing for five businesses at the same time is a badge of honor. It shows how valuable an individual is. Many companies now look to these “ultimate professionals” to solve problems their full-time teams can’t. Or they save money by hiring “top-tier (顶尖的) experts” only for particular proje cts.Working at home or in cafes, starting businesses of their own, and even launching business ventures that eventually may fail, all indicate “initiative,” “creativity,” and “adaptability,” which are desirable qualities in today’s workplace. Most importa nt, there is a growing recognition that people who balance work and play, and who work at what they are passionate about, are more focused and productive, delivering greater value to their clients.Who are these people? They are artists, writers, programmers, providers of office services and career advice. What’s needed now is a marketplace platform specifically designed to bring freelancers and clients together. Such platforms then become a place to feature the most experienced, professional, and creative talent. This is where they conduct business, where a sense of community reinforces the culture and values of the gig economy (零工经济), and where success is rewarded with good reviews that encourage more business.Slowly but surely, these platforms create a bridge between traditional enterprises and this emerging economy. Perhaps more important, as the global economy continues to be disrupted by technology and other massive change, the gig economy will itself become an engine of economic and social transformation.Part ⅣTranslation (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.普洱(Pu’er)茶深受中国人喜爱。

2022年6月大学英语四级真题及答案(第一套)一、四级作文部分:WritingDirections: Suppose you are writing a proposal to your school library about improving it' s services, you are writing about its current problems and solutions.Dear Sir or Madam,I hope you are doing great! I am Li Ming, one of the sophomore students in our university. Following my recent experience of using our school library, I have decided to send you some feed-back. In the first place, the librarians there are not very friend-ly and helpful as they often fail to tell us where to find the book we want, and moreover get impatient easily. What’s more, the books available in the library are too old to catch up with the latest development of related disciplines. Finally, the reading rooms are not bright enough as some of the lights have gone dark. All these have brought great inconvenience to us students, which leaves me with no choice but to write you this letter.From my perspective, it would be wise for you to offer all the librarians a training course to familiarize them with the layout of the library and the classifications of the books. If possible, I sincerely hope that you consider the possibility of renewing some of the books and maintaining the facilities properly.Thank you for your time and consideration. Look forward to your favorable reply.Warm regards,Li Ming二、四级听力部分:四级听力原文:Section ANews Report 1原文:[1] A new study finds that beverages containing add ed sugar might be harmfuL In the study, researchers a nalyzed information from over eighty thousand wome n and thirty seven thousand men.

2021年6月大学英语四级考试真题 3

2021年6月大学英语四级考试真题(第3套)Part I Writing (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay titled "Are people becoming addicted to technology?" The statement given below is for your reference. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.Numerous studies claim that addition to technology is real and it has the same effect on the brain as drug addition.PartⅡListening Comprehension (25 minutes)特别说明:由于多题多卷,官方第三套真题的听力试题与第二套真题的一致,只是选项顺序不同,因此,本套试卷不再提供听力部分。

Part III Reading 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 bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Nowadays you can’t buy anything without then being asked to provide a rating of a company’s performance on a five-star scale.I’ve been asked to rate my “store26 ” on the EFTPOS terminal before I can pay. Even the most 27 activities, such as calling Telstra or picking up a parcel from Australia Post, are followed by texts or emails with surveys asking, “How did we do?”Online purchases are 28 followed up by a customer satisfaction survey. Companies are so 29 for a hit of stars that if you delete the survey the company sends you another one.We’re30 to rate our a pps when we’ve barely had a chance to use them. One online course provider I use asks you what you think of the course after you’ve only completed 31 2 per cent of it.Economist Jason Murphy says that companies use customer satisfaction ratings because a 32 display of star feedback has become the nuclear power sources of the modern economy.However, you can’t help but33 if these companies are basing their business on fabrications(捏造的东西). I 34 that with online surveys I just click the 35 that’s closest to my mouse cursor (光标) to get the damn thing off my screen. Often the star rating I give has far more to do with the kind of day I’m having than the purchase I just made.Section BDirections:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Science of setbacks: How failure can improve career prospectsA)How do early career setbacks affect our long-term success? Failures can help us learn andovercome our fears. But disasters can still wound us. They can screw us up and set us back.Wouldn't it be nice if there was genuine, scientifically documented truth to the expression "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"?B)One way social scientists have probed the effects of career setbacks is to look at scientists ofvery similar qualifications. These scientists, for reasons that are mostly arbitrary, either just missed getting a research grant or who just barely made it. In the social sciences, this is known as examining "near misses" and "narrow wins" in areas where merit is subjective. That allows researchers to measure only the effects of being chosen or not. Studies in this area have found conflicting results. In the competitive game of biomedical science, research has been done on scientists who narrowly lost or won grant money. It suggests that narrow winners become even bigger winners down the line. In other words, the rich get richer.C) A 2018 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, for example,followed researchers in the Netherlands. Researchers concluded that those who just barely qualified for a grant were able to get twice as much money within the next eight years as those who just missed out. And the narrow winners were 50 percent more likely to be given a professorship.D)Others in the US have found similar effects with National Institutes of Health early-careerfellowships launching narrow winners far ahead of close losers. The phenomenon is often referred to as the Matthew effect, inspired by the Bible’s wisdom that to those who have, more will be given. There's a good explanation for the phenomenon in the book The Formula: The Universal Laws of Success by Albert Laszlo Barabasi. According to Barabasi, it's easier and less risky for those in positions of power to choose to hand awards and funding to those who've already been so recognized.E)This is bad news for the losers. Small early career setbacks seem to have a disproportionateeffect down the line. What didn't kill them made them weaker. But other studies using the same technique have shown there's sometimes no penalty to a near miss. Students who just miss getting into top high schools or universities do just as well later in life as those who just manage to get accepted. In this case, what didn't kill them simply didn't matter. So is there any evidence that setbacks might actually improve our career prospects? There is now.F)In a study published in Nature Communications, Northwestern University sociologist DashunWang tracked more than 1,100 scientists who were on the border between getting a grant and missing out between 1990 and 2005. He followed various measures of performance over the next decade. These included how many papers they authored and how influential those papers were, as measured by the number of subsequent citations. As expected, there was a much higher rate of attrition (减员) among scientists who didn't get grants. But among those who stayed on, the close losers performed even better than the narrow winners. To make sure this wasn't by chance, Wang conducted additional tests using different performance measures. He examined how many times people were first authors on influential studies, and the like.G)One straightforward reason close losers might outperform narrow winners is that the two groupshave comparable ability. In Wang’s study, he selected the most determined, passionate scientists from the loser group and culled (剔除) what he deemed the weakest members of the winner group. Yet the persevering losers still came out on top. He thinks that being a close loser might give people a psychological boost, or the proverbial kick in the pants.H)Utrecht University sociologist Arnout van de Rijt was lead author on the 2018 paper showingthe rich get richer. He said the new finding is apparently reasonable and worth some attention.His own work showed that although the narrow winners did get much more money in the near future, the actual performance of the close losers was just as good.I)He said the people who should be paying regard to the Wang paper are the funding agents whodistribute government grant money. After all, by continuing to pile riches on the narrow winners, the taxpayers are not getting the maximum bang for their buck if the close losers are performing just as well or even better. There's a huge amount of time and effort that goes into the process of selecting who gets grants, he said, and the latest research shows that the scientific establishment is not very good at distributing money. "Maybe we should spend less money trying to figure out who is better than who," he said, suggesting that some more equal dividing up of money might be more productive and more efficient. Van de Rijt said he's not convinced that losing out gives people a psychological boost. It may yet be a selection effect. Even though Wang tried to account for this by culling the weakest winners, it's impossible to know which of the winners would have quit had they found themselves on the losing side.J)For his part, Wang said that in his own experience, losing did light a motivating fire. He recalleda recent paper he submitted to a journal, which accepted it only to request extensive editing,and then reversed course and rejected it. He submitted the unedited version to a more respect journal and got accepted.K)In sports and many areas of life, we think of failures as evidence of something we could have done better. We regard these disappointments as a fate we could have avoided with more careful preparation, different training, a better strategy, or more focus. And there it makes sense that failures show us the road to success. These papers deal with a kind of failure people have little control over - rejection. Others determine who wins and who loses. But at the very least, theresearch is starting to show that early setbacks don't have to be fatal. They might even make us better at our jobs. Getting paid like a winner, though? That's a different matter.36. Being a close loser could greatly motivate one to persevere in their research.37. Grant awarders tend to favor researchers already recognized in their respective fields.38. Suffering early setbacks might help people improve their job performance.39. Research by social scientists on the effects of career setbacks has produced contradictory findings.40. It is not to the best interest of taxpayers to keep giving money to narrow winners.41. Scientists who persisted in research without receiving a grant made greater achievements than those who got one with luck, as suggested in one study.42. A research paper rejected by one journal may get accepted by another.43. According to one recent study, narrow winners of research grants had better chances to be promoted to professors.44. One research suggests it might be more fruitful to distribute grants on a relatively equal basis.45. Minor setbacks in their early career may have a strong negative effect on the career of close losers.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.Boredom has become trendy. Studies point to how boredom is good for creativity and innovation, as well as mental health. It is found that people are more creative following the completion of a tedious task. When people are bored, they have an increase in “associa tive thought”—the process of making new connections between ideas, which is linked to innovative thinking. These studies are impressive, but in reality, the benefits of boredom may be related to having time to clear your mind, be quiet, or daydream.In our stimulation-rich world, it seems unrealistic that boredom could occur at all. Yet, there are valid reasons boredom may feel so painful. As it turns out, boredom might signal the fact that you have a need that isn’t being met.Our always-on world of social media may result in more connections, but they are superficial and can get in the way of building a real sense of belonging. Feeling bored may signal the desire for a greater sense of community and the feeling that you fit in with others around you. So take the step of joining an organization to build face-to-face relationships. You’ll find depth that you won’t get from your screen no matter how many likes you get on your post.Similar to the need for belonging, bored people often report that they feel a limited sense of meaning. It’s a fundamental human need to have a larger purpose and to feel like we’re part of something bigger than ourselves. When peopl e are bored, they’re more likely to feel less meaningin their lives. If you want to reduce boredom and increase your sense of meaning, seek work where you can make a unique contribution, or find a cause you can support with your time and talents.If your definition of boredom is being quiet, mindful, and reflective, keep it up. But if you’re struggling with real boredom and the emptiness it provokes, consider whether you might seek new connections and more significant challenges. These are the things that will genuinely relieve boredom and make you more effective in the process.46. What have studies found about boredom?A) It facilitates innovative thinking?B) It is a result of doing boring tasks.C) It helps people connect with others.D) It does harm to one’s mental health.47. What does the author say boredom might indicate?A) A need to be left alone.B) A desire to be fulfilled.C) A conflict to be resolved.D) A feeling to be validated.48. What do we learn about social media from the passage?A) It may be an obstacle to expanding one’s connections.B) It may get in the way of enhancing one’s social status.C) It may prevent people from developing a genuine sense of community.D) It may make people feel that they ought to fit in with the outside world.49. What does the author suggest people do to get rid of boredom?A) Count the likes they get on their posts.B) Reflect on how they relate to others.C) Engage in real-life interactions.D) Participate in online discussions.50. What should people do to enhance their sense of meaning?A) Try to do something original.B) Confront significant challenges.C) Define boredom in their unique way.D) Devote themselves to a worthy cause.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Can you remember what you ate yesterday? If asked, most people will be able to give a vague description of their main meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner. But can you be sure you’ve noted every snack bar in your car, or every handful of nuts at your desk? Most people will have a feeling that they’ve missed something out.We originally had this suspicion back in 2016, puzzled by the fact that national statistics showed calorie consumption falling dramatically over past decades. We found reliable evidence that people were drastically under-reporting what they ate.Now the Office for National Statistics has confirmed that we are consuming 50% more calories than our national statistics claim.Why is this happening? We can point to at least three potential causes. One is the rise in obesity levels itself. Under-reporting rates are much higher for obese people, because they simply consume more food, and thus have more to remember.Another cause is that the proportion of people who are trying to lose weight has been increasing over time. People who want to lose weight are more likely to under-report their eating – regardless of whether they are overweight or not. This may be driven partly by self-deception or “wishful thin king”.The final potential cause is an increase in snacking and eating out over recent decades – both in terms of how often they happen and how much they contribute to our overall energy intake. Again, there that food consumed out of the home is one of the most poorly recorded categories in surveys.So, what’s the message conveyed? For statistics, we should invest in more accurate measurement options. For policy, we need to focus on options that make it easy for people to eat fewer calories. If people do not know how much they are eating, it can be really hard for them to stick to a diet. Also, we should be looking for new ways to ensure what they eat wouldn’t have much impact on their waistlines. If this works, it won't matter if they can’t remember what they ate yesterday.51.What did the author suspect back in 2016?A) Calorie consumption had fallen drastically over the decades.B) Most people surveyed were reluctant to reveal what they ate.C) The national statistics did not reflect the actual calorie consumption.D) Most people did not include snacks when reporting their calorie intake.52.What has the Office for National Statistics verified?A) People’s calorie intake was far from accurately reported.B) The missing out of main meals leads to the habit of snacking.C) The nation’s obesity level has much to do with calorie intake.D) Calorie consumption is linked to the amount of snacks one eats.53.What do we learn about obese people from the passage?A) They usually keep their eating habits a secret.B) They overlook the potential causes of obesity.C) They cannot help eating more than they should.D) They have difficulty recalling what they have eaten.54.What often goes unnoticed in surveys on food consumption?A) The growing trend of eating out.B) The potential causes of snacking.C) People’s home energy consumption.D) People’s changing diet over the years.55.What does the author suggest policymakers do about obesity?A) Remind people to cut down on snacking.B) Make sure people eat non-fattening food.C) Ensure people don’t miss their main meals.D) See that people don’t stick to the same diet.Part ⅣTranslation (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.龙井(Longjing)是一种绿茶,主要产自中国东部沿海的浙江省。

At the speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third-floor windows. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to £50. it will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you reversing your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear you seat belt.

This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能) and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed I some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age—using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”26. The team of doctors wanted to find out ________.A) why certain people age sooner than othersB) how to make people live longerC) the size of certain people’s brainsD) which people are most intelligent27. On what are their research findings based?A) A survey of farmers in northern Japan.B) Tests performed on a thousand old people.C) The study of brain volumes of different peopleD) The latest development of computer technology.28. The doctor’s test show that ________.A) our brains shrink as we grow olderB) the front section of the brain does not shrinkC) sixty-year-olds have the better brains than thirty-year-oldsD) some people’s brains have contracted more than other people’s29. The word “subjects” in Paragraph 5means ________.A) something to be consideredB) branches of knowledge studiedC) persons chosen to be studied in an experimentD) any member of a state except the supreme ruler30. According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than the others?A) Lawyers.B) Farmers.C) Clerks.D) Shop assistants.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.On June 17, 1744, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day the refused the offer as follows:We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if your ideas of this kind of education happen not t be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods…they were totally good for nothing.We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send up a dozenof their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them.31. The passage is about ________.A) the talk between the Indians and the officialsB) the colleges of northern provincesC) the educational values of the IndiansD) the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteenth century32. The Indians’ chief purpose in writing the letter seems to be to ________.A) politely refuse a friendly offerB) express their opinion on equal treatmentC) show their prideD) describe Indian customs33. According to the letter, the Indians believed that ________.A) it would be better for their boys to receive some schoolingB) they were being insulted by the offerC) they knew more about science than the officialsD) they had a better way of educating young men34. Different from the officials’ view of education, the Indians though ________.A) young women should also be educatedB) they had different goals of educationC) they taught different branches of scienceD) they should teach the sons of the officials first35. The tone of the letter as a whole is best described as ________.A) angryB) pleasantC) politeD) inquiringPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the earth’s postwar era, there was quite a wide-spread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers arerelieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction (失误).Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.Questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.36. What is the main purpose of this passage?A) To look back to the early days of computers.B) To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.C) To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.D) To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.37. According to the passage, the initial concern about computers was that they might________.A) change our personal livesB) take control of the worldC) create unforeseen problemsD) affect our businesses38. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to ________.A) be reasonably doubtful about themB) check all their answersC) substitute them for basic thinkingD) use them for business purposes only39. The passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is________.A) challengingB) psychologicalC) dramaticD) fundamental40. It can be inferred from the passage that the author would disapprove of ________.A) investment in computersB) the use of on e’s internal computerC) double-check on computersD) complete dependence on computers for decision-makingPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are four Choices marked A), B), C) and D). Choose the ONE that bestcompletes the sentence.

Support your response with specific reasons and examples.Sample Answer:In my opinion, college students should be required to take physical education courses. There are several reasons to support this view.Firstly, physical education courses play a crucial role in promoting students' physical health. In today's society, with the increasing prevalence of sedentary lifestyles and obesity, it is more important than ever for young people to engage in regularphysical activity. By requiring college students to take physical education courses, universities can help instill healthy habits that will benefit students throughout their lives.Secondly, physical education courses can have a positive impact on students' mental health. Exercise has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and can improve cognitive function and overall well-being. By engaging in physical activity, students can take a break from their academic studies and focus on their physical and mental well-being.Lastly, physical education courses can help students develop important social skills. Through team sports and group activities, students can learn how to communicate effectively, work together towards a common goal, and develop leadership skills. These skills are essential for success in both academic and professional settings.Overall, the benefits of requiring college students to take physical education courses far outweigh any potential drawbacks. By promoting physical and mental health, as well as social development, universities can help students lead healthier, happier, and more successful lives.Task 2Directions: Write a response in about 200 words to the following question.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Technology makes people lazier. Support your response with specific examples and explanations.Sample Answer:I partially agree with the statement that technology makes people lazier. While it is true that technology has made certain tasks more convenient and less physically demanding, it has also led to increased productivity and efficiency in many aspects of our lives.On the one hand, technology has made it easier for people to avoid physical exertion. For example, the rise of online shopping and food delivery services means that people no longer have to leave their homes to buy groceries or meals. Additionally, the prevalence of smartphones and other devices has led to a decrease in physical activity, as people spend more time sitting and staring at screens.On the other hand, technology has also provided countless benefits that have improved our quality of life. For instance, advancements in medical technology have led to significantimprovements in healthcare and increased life expectancy. Similarly, technological innovations in communication and transportation have made it easier for people to connect with others and travel long distances in a short amount of time.In conclusion, while technology may contribute to laziness in some aspects of our lives, it also offers numerous advantages that cannot be overlooked. It is important for individuals to strike a balance between utilizing technology for convenience and maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle.。

2024年6月大学英语四级考试真题第四套

2024年6月大学英语四级考试真题第四套全文共10篇示例,供读者参考篇1Hello everyone! Today I wanna share with you guys about the latest College English Test (CET) Level 4 exam that was held in June 2024. As a fourth grader, I am super excited to talk about the questions and how I feel about them.So the first part of the exam was the listening section, where we had to listen to different conversations and answer questions about them. There was a conversation about a student asking for help in finding a library book, and another about a person booking a hotel room. It was kinda hard to catch all the details, but I tried my best to concentrate and answer the questions.The second part was the reading section, where we had to read various passages and answer questions based on them. There was a passage about the benefits of learning a second language, and another about the history of chocolate. I really enjoyed reading these passages because I love learning new things.Finally, there was the writing section where we had to write an essay on a given topic. The topic was about the importance of outdoor activities for children's development. I wrote about how playing outside helps kids stay active and socialize with others. I also mentioned how it can improve their physical and mental health.Overall, I think the exam was challenging but fun. I learned a lot of new words and phrases, and I feel more confident in my English skills now. I can't wait to see how I did on the exam! Thanks for listening to my review of the CET Level 4 exam, and I hope you all do great on your exams too! Keep studying hard and never give up!篇2Oh gosh, I can't believe I'm already in college and taking the English CET-4 exam in June 2024! It feels like just yesterday I was in elementary school learning my ABCs. But hey, time flies when you're having fun, right?So, the exam was pretty tough, but I think I did okay. The reading section had a really interesting passage about climate change and how we can all do our part to help the environment. It made me realize how important it is to take care of our planet.The listening section was a bit tricky, but I tried my best to focus and understand what the people were saying. Some of them had really strong accents, so I had to really concentrate.And don't even get me started on the writing section! I had to write an essay about my favorite book and why I love it so much. I chose "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" because it's been my all-time favorite since I was a little kid. There's just something magical about the world J.K. Rowling created.Overall, the exam was a challenge, but I'm proud of myself for making it through. I know I still have a lot to learn, but I'm excited to see where my English skills will take me in the future. Who knows, maybe I'll even be writing my own bestselling novel someday!篇3Title: My Experience of Taking the 2024 June College English Test Band FourHi friends! Today I want to tell you about my experience of taking the 2024 June College English Test Band Four. It was super hard, but I survived and even did pretty well!First of all, the listening part was so tough! The voices on the recording were really fast, and sometimes I couldn't catch what they were saying. But I tried my best to focus and make educated guesses. I hope I got at least half of them right!Then came the reading part. Oh my goodness, there were so many long passages to read and questions to answer! Some of the words were super hard, but I remembered to use context clues to figure out their meanings. Thank goodness for that tip my teacher gave me!Next was the writing part. I had to write an essay about why I love learning English. Well, that was easy for me because I really do love learning English!

It was the fourth set of questions for the College English Test Band Four, which is a big deal for us university students.The exam had four parts: listening, reading, writing, and translation. The listening part was super tricky because the speakers talked really fast, and they had different accents too. I had to really focus to catch all the details.The reading part was not too bad, but there were some really tough vocabulary words that I had never seen before. I had to guess the meanings from the context of the sentence sometimes.The writing part was my favorite because I got to express my own ideas. I wrote about my dream job and why I wanted topursue it. I also had to write a short essay on a current social issue, which was a bit challenging.The translation part was the hardest for me. I had to translate English sentences into Chinese and vice versa. There were some idioms and expressions that were really difficult to translate accurately.Overall, the exam was tough but I tried my best. I hope I did well and will pass the test this time. English is such an important subject, and I know it will benefit me in the future.That's all for now. Wish me luck! Thanks for listening. Bye!篇5Hey guys, guess what?

You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.When my son completes a task, I can't help but praise him. It's only natural to give praise where praise is due, right? But is there such a thing as too much praise?According to psychologist Katherine Phillip, children don't-benefit from_26 '_praise as much as we'd like to think. “Parents' often praise, believing they are building their child's self-confidence. However,over-praising can have a27effect,”says Phillip.“When we use the same praise 28_,it may become empty and no longer valued by the child. It can also become an expectation that anything they do must be29with praise. This may lead to the child avoiding taking risks due to fear of 30 their parents.”Does this mean we should do away with all the praise? Phillip says no. “The key to healthy praise is to focus on the process rather than the 31_. It is the recognition of a child's attempt, or the process in which they achieved something, that is essential,”she says. “Parents should encourage their child to take the risks needed to learn and grow.”So how do we break the32of praise we're all so accustomed to? Phillip says it's important to 33between “person praise”and “process praise”. “Person praise is34saying how great someone is. It's a form of personal approval. Process praise is acknowledgement of the efforts the personhas just35.Children who receive person praise are more likely to feel shame after losing,”saysPhillip.A)chooseB)constant C)disappointingD)distinguishE)exhaustingF)experiencedG)negativeH)outcomeI)patternJ)plural K)repeatedly L)rewarded M)separately N)simply O)undertakenSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Poverty is a story about us, not themA) Too often still, we think we know what poverty looks like. It's the way we've been taught, the images we've been force-fed for decades. The chronically homeless. The undocumented immigrant.The urban poor, usually personified as a woman of color, the “welfare queen”politicians still too often reference.B) But as income inequality rises to record levels in the UJnited States, even in the midst of a record economic expansion, those familiar images are outdated, hurtful, and counterproductive to focusing attention on solutions and building ladders of opportunity.C) Today's faces of income inequality and lack of opportunity look like all of us. It's Anna Landre, a disabled Georgetown University student fighting to keep health benefits that allow her the freedom to live her life. It's Tiffanie Standard, a counselor fór young women of color in Philadelphia'who want to be tech entrepreneurs-but who must work multiple jobs to stay afloat. It's KenOutlaw, a welder in rural North Carolina whose dream of going back to school at àlocal community college was dashed by Hurricane Florence-just one of the extreme weather events that have tipped the balance for struggling Americans across the nation.D) If these are the central characters of our story about poverty, what layers of perceptions, myths,and realities must we unearth to find meaningful solutions and support? In pursuit of revealing this complicated reality, Mothering Justice, led by women of color, went last year to the state capital in Lansing,Michigan, to lobby on issues that affect working mothers. One of the Mothering Justice 'organizers went to the office of a state representative to talk about the lack of affordable childcare-the vestiges(痕迹)of a system that expected mothers to stay home with their children while their husbands worked. A legislative staffer dismissed the activist's concerns, telling her “my husband took care of that-I stayed home.”E)That comment, says Mothering Justice director Danielle Atkinson, “was meant to shame”and relied on the familiar notion that a woman of color concerned about income inequality and programs that promote mobility must by definition be a single mom, probably with multiple kids. In this case,the Mothering Justice activist happened to be married. And in most cases in the America of 2019,the images that come to mind when we hear the words poverty or income inequality fail miserably inreflecting a complicated reality: poverty touches virtually all of us. The face of income inequality, for all but a very few of us, is the one we each see in the mirror.F) How many of us are poor in the U. S. ? It depends on who you ask. According to the Census Bureau, 38 million people in the U. S. are living below the official poverty thresholds. Taking into account economic need beyond that absolute measure, the Institute for Policy Studies found that 140 million people are poor or low-income. That's almost half the U.S. population.G)Whatever the measure, within that massive group, poverty is extremely diverse. We know that some people are more affected than others, like children, the elderly, people with disabilities,and people of color.H) But the fact that 4 in 10 Americans can't come up with $400 in an emergency is a commonly cited statistic for good reason: economic instability stretches across race, gender, and geography. It even reaches into the middle classes,as real wages have stagnated(不增长)for all but the very wealthy and temporary spells of financial instability are not uncommon.I)Negative images remain of who is living in poverty as well as what is needed to move out of it. The big American myth is that you can pull yourself up by your own efforts and change a bad situation into a good one. The reality is that finding opportunity without help from families, friends, schools, and community is virtually impossible. And the playing field is nothing close to level.J)The FrameWorks Institute, a research group that focuses on public framing of issues, has studied what sustains stereotypes and narratives of poverty in the United Kingdom. “People view economic success and wellbeing in life as a product of choice, willpower, and drive,”says Nat Kendall-Taylor, CEO of FrameWorks. “When we see people who are struggling," he says, those assumptions “lead us to the perception that people in poverty are lazy, they don't care, and they haven't made the right decisions.”K)Does this sound familiar? Similar ideas surround poverty in the U.S. And these assumptions give a false picture of reality. “When people enter into that pattern of thinking,”says Kendall-Taylor,“it's cognitively comfortable to make sense of issues of poverty in that way. It creates a kind of cognitive blindness-all of the factors external to a person's drive and choices that they've made become invisible and fade from view.”L) Those external factors include the difficulties accompanying low-wage work or structural discrimination based on race, gender, or ability. Assumptions get worse when people who are poor use government benefits to help them survive. There is a great tension between “the poor”and those who are receiving what has become a dirty word:“welfare.”M)According to the General Social Survey, 71 percent of respondents believe the country is spending too little on “assistance to the poor.”On the other hand, 22 percent think we are spending too little on “welIfare”: 37 percent believe we are spending too much.N)“Poverty has been interchangeable with people of color-specifically black women and black mothers,”says Atkinson of Mothering Justice. It's true that black mothers are more affected by poverty than many other groups, yet they are disproportionately the face of poverty. For example, Americans routinely overestimate the share of black recipients of public assistance programs.O) In reality, most people will experience some form of financial hardship at some point in their lives. Indeed,people tend to dip in and out of poverty, perhaps due to unexpected obstacles like losing a job, or when hours of a low-wage job fluctuate.P)Something each of us can do is to treat each other with the dignity and sympathy that is deserved and to understand deeply that the issue of poverty touches all of us.36. One legislative staffer assumed that a woman of color who advocated affordable childcare must be a single mother.37. People from different races, genders, and regions all suffer from a lack of financial security.38. According to a survey, while the majority believe too little assistance is given to the poor, more than a third believe too much is spent on welfare.39. A research group has found that Americans who are struggling are thought to be lazy and to have made the wrong decisions.40. Under the old system in America, a mother was supposed to stay home and take care of her children.41. It was found that nearly 50% of Americans are poor or receive low pay.42. Americans usually overestimate the number of blacks receiving welfare benefits.43. It is impossible for Americans to lift themselves out of poverty entirely on their own.44.Nowadays, it seems none of us can get away from income inequality.45. Assumptions about poor people become even more negative when they live on welfare.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.Boredom has, paradoxically, become quite interestingto academics lately. In early May,London's Boring Conference celebrated seven years of delighting in dullness. At this event, people flocked to talks about weather, traffic jams, and vending-machine sounds, among other sleep-inducing topics.What, exactly, is everybody studying? One widely accepted psychological definition of boredom is “the distasteful experience of wanting, but being unable, to engage in satisfying activity.”But how can you quantify a person's boredom level and compare it with someone else's? In 1986, psychologists introduced the Boredom Proneness Scale, designed to measure an individual's overall tendency to feel bored.By contrast, the Multidimensional State Boredom Scale, developed in 2008, measures a person's feelings of boredom in a given situation.Boredom has been linked to behavior issues including inattentive driving, mindless snaçking, excessive drinking, and addictive gambling. In fact, many of us would choose pain over boredom. One team of psychologists discovered that two-thirds of men and a quarter of women would rather self-administer electric shocks than sit alone with their thoughts for 15 minutes. Researching this phenomenon, another team asked volunteers to watch boring, sad, or neutral films, during which they could self-administer electric shocks. The bored volunteers shocked themselves more and harder than the sad or neutral ones did.But boredom isn't all bad. By encouraging self-reflection and daydreaming, it can spur creativity. An early study gave participants abundant time to complete problem-solving and word-association exercises. Once all the obvious answers were exhausted, participants gave more and more inventive answers tocombat boredom. A British study took these findings one step further, asking subjects to complete a creative challenge (coming up with a list of alternative uses for a household item). One group of subjects did a boring activity first, while the others went straight to the creative task. Those whose boredom pumps had been primed were more productive.In our always-connected world, boredom may be a hard-to-define state, but it is a fertile one. Watch paint dry or water boil, or at least put away your smartphone for a while, and you might unlock your next big idea.46. When are people likely to experience boredom, according to an accepted psychological definition?A) When they don't have the chance to do what they want.B)When they don't enjoy the materials they are studying.C) When they experience something unpleasant. .D) When they engage in some routine activities.47. What does the author say boredom can lead to?A)Determination.B)Concentration.C)Mental deterioration.D)Harmful conduct.48. What is the finding of one team of psychologists in their experiment?A) Volunteers prefer watching a boring movie to sitting alone deliberating.B)Many volunteers choose to hurt themselves rather than endure boredom.C) Male volunteers are more immune to the effects of boredom than females.D) Many volunteers are unable to resist boredom longer than fifteen minutes.49. Why does the author say boredom isn't all bad?A) It stimulates memorization.B) It allows time for relaxation.C) It may promote creative thinking.D) It may facilitate independent learning.50. What does the author suggest one do when faced with a challenging problem?A) Stop idling and think big.B) Unlock one's smartphone.C) Look around oneself for stimulation.D) Allow oneself some time to be bored.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Forests in countries like Brazil and the Congo get a lot of attention from environmentalists, and it is easy to see why. South America and sub-Saharan Africa are experiencing deforestation on an enormous scale: every year almost 5 million hectares are lost. But forests are also changing in rich Western countries. They are growing larger, both in the sense that they occupy more land and that the trees in them are bigger. What is going on?Forests are spreading in almost all Western countries, with the fastest growth in places that historically had rather few trees. In 1990 28% of Spain was forested; now the proportion is 37%. In both Greece and Italy, the growth was from 26% to 32% over the same period. Forests are gradually taking more land in America and Australia. Perhaps most astonishing is the trend in Ireland. Roughly 1% of that country was forested when it became independent in 1922. Now forests cover 11% of the land, and the government wants to push the proportion to 18% by the 2040s.Two things are fertilising this growth. The first is the abandonment of farmland, especially in high, dry places where nothing grows terribly well. When farmers give up trying to earn a living from farming or herding, trees simply move in. The second is government policy and subsidy. Throughout history,governments have protected and promoted forests for diverse reasons, ranging from the need for wooden warships to a desire to promote suburban house-building. Nowadays forests are increasingly welcome because they suck in carbon pollution from the air. The justifications change; the desire for more trees remains constant.The greening of the West does not delight everyone. Farmers complain that land is being taken out of use by generously subsidised tree plantations. Parts of Spain and Portugal suffer from terrible forest fires. Others simply dislike the appearance of forests planted in neat rows. They will have to get used to the trees,however.The growth of Western forests seems almost as unstoppable as deforestation elsewhere.51. What is catching environmentalists' attention nowadays?A)Rich countries are stripping poor ones of their resources.B) Forests are fast shrinking in many developing countries.C) Forests are eating away the fertile farmland worldwide.D) Rich countries are doing little to address deforestation.52.

The Yellow River ranks the third longest in Asia and the sixth longest in the world. The word “yellow” describes the muddy water of the river. The Yellow River,one of several rivers for China to live on,originates from Qinghai,flows through nine provinces, and finally pours into the Bohai Sea. The river basin is not only the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilization,but also the most prosperous region in the early history of China.

Fear not, however, for coffee can perk them right up again. During vigorous exercise, our muscles tire as they run out of fuel and build up waste products.Muscle performance can also be affected by a phenomenon called “central fatigue,” in which an imbalance in the body’s chemical messengers prevents the central nervous system from directing muscle movements effectively. It was not known, however, whether central fatigue might also affect motor systems not directly involved in the exercise itself—such as those that move the eyes. To find out, researchers gave 11 volunteers a carbohydrate solution either with a moderate dose of caffeine—which is known to stimulate the central nervous system—or as a placebo without, during 3 hours of cycling. After exercising, the scientists tested the cyclists with eye-tracking cameras to see how well their brains could still control their visual system. The team found that exercise reduced the speed of rapid eye movements by about 8%, preventing their ability to capture new visual information. The caffeine—the equivalent of two strong cups of coffee—was sufficient to counteract this effect, with some cyclists even displaying increased eye movement speeds, the team reports today in Scientific Reports. So it might be a good idea to get someone else to drive you home after that marathon.段落信息匹配36 [H] 题干:Suessful team leaders know exactly where the team should go and are able to take promptaction.37 [D] 题干:Decentralisation of authority was also found to be more effective in military operations.38 [B] 题干:In many panies,the conventional form of organisation is giving way to a work of teams.39 [J] 题干:Members of poorly managed teams are easily distracted from their work.40 [G] 题干:Teamwork is most effective when team members share the same culture.41 [A] 题干:Aording to a report by Deloitte,teamwork is being increasingly popular among panies.42 [F] 题干:Some team members find it hard to agree on questions like membership and the team's purpose.43 [E] 题干:Some scholars think teamwork may not always be reliable,despite its potential to work wonders.44 [I] 题干:To ensure employee's mitment,it is advisable to give them more flexibility as to where and how they work.45 [C] 题干: Product transitions take much less time now than in the past.仔细阅读146 D Britons have developed the habit of saving.47 B It will remain gloomy.48 C Luxurious features add much to the price.49 A They are particular about the quality of toilet paper.50 D Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.仔细阅读251 B She sueeded in quitting smoking abruptly.52 D They were offered nicotine replacements.53 C It is encouraging.54 B needs some practice first.55 A They find it even more difficult.写作:Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an advertisement on your campus website to sell a puter you used at college.

The first type is apparent in people being stressed about the 26 ups and downs of investment markets-actually not so much the ups, but 27 the downs. These people are usually unable or unprepared to endure the long haul.The next common type of financial stress is that caused by debt. In a 28 percentage of cases of debt-induced financial stress, credit cards and loans will be a central element. Often there'll be a car loan and perhaps a mortgage, but credit cards often seem to be the gateway to debt-related financial difficulties for many.29The third type of stress and the least known is inherited financial stress, which is the most destructive. It is experienced by those who have grown up in households where their parents regularly30 and fought about money. Money therefore becomes a stressful topic, and so the thought of sitting down and planning is an unattractive 31Those suffering inherited financial anxiety 32 to follow one of two patterns. Either they put their head in the sand, they would 33 examining their financial statements, budgeting, anddiscussing financial matters with those closest to them. Alternatively, they would go to the other34 , and micro-analyze everything, to the point of complete . They're convinced that whatever decision they make will be the wrong one.A)appearanceF)extreme K)proposition B)arguedG)inaction L)rebelled C)avoidH)incredibly M)statement D)considerableI)normal N)tend E)definitely J)possibly 0)traditionalA)Imagine a drug that could enhance a child's creativity and critical thinking. Imagine that this drug weresimple to make, safe to take, and could be had for free. The nation's leading pediatricians ( JL,H !E. _i.)say this miracle compound exists. In a new clinical report, they are urging doctors to prescribe it liberally to the children in their care.B)"This may seem old-fashioned, but there are skills to be learned when kids aren't told what to do,"said Dr. Michael Yogman, a Harvard Medical School pediatrician who led the drafting of the call to arms. Whether it's rough physical play, outdoor play or pretend play, kids derive important lessons from the chance to make things up as they go, he said.C)The advice, issued Monday by the American Academy of Pediatrics, may come as a shock to someparents. After spending years fretting ( ;l:yf ·t it ) over which toys to buy, which apps to download and which skill-building programs to send their kids to after school, letting them simply play-or better yet, playing with them-could seem like a step backward. The pediatricians insist that it's not. The academy's guidance does not include specific recommendations for the dosing of play. Instead, it asks doctors to advise parents before their babies turn two that play is essential to healthy development.D)"Play is not silly behavior," the academy's report declares. It fosters children's creativity,cooperation, and problem-solving skills-all of which are critical for a 2lst-century workforce. When parents engage in play with their children, it builds a wall against the harmful effects of all kinds of stress, including poverty, the academy says. In the pediatricians' view, essentially every life skill that's valued in adults can be built up with play. "Collaboration, negotiation, decision-making, creativity,leadership, and increased physical activity are just some of the skills and benefits children gain through play," they wrote. The pediatricians' appeal comes as kids are being squeezed by increasing academic demands at school and the constant invasion of digital media.E)The trends have been a long time coming. Between 1981 and 1997, detailed time-use studies showedthat the time children spent at play declined by 25 percent. Since the adoption of sweeping education reforms in 2001, public schools have steadily increased the amount of time devoted to preparing for standardized tests. The focus on academic "skills and drills" has cut deeply into recess (-iJf_ fa] 1;/c..,@:) and other time for free play.Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Doctor's orders: Let children just play35F)By 2009, a study of Los Angeles kindergarten classrooms found that five-year-olds were so burdenedwith academic requirements that they were down to an average of just 19 minutes per day of "choice time," when they were permitted to play freely with blocks, toys or other children. One in four Los Angeles teachers reported there was no time at all for "free play." Increased academic pressures have left 30 percent of U.S. kindergarten classes without any recess. Such findings prompted the American Academy of Pediatrics to issue a policy statement in 2013 on the "crucial role of recess in school." G)Pediatricians aren't the only ones who have noticed. Tn a report titled "Crisis in the Kindergarten," agroup of educators, health professionals and child advocates called the loss of play in early childhood ''a tragedy, both for the children themselves and for our nation and the world." Kids in play-based kindergartens "end up equally good or better at reading and other intellectual skills, and they are more likely to become well-adjusted healthy people," the Alliance for Childhood said in 2009. Indeed, new research demonstrates why playing with blocks might have been time better spent, Yogman said. The trial assessed the effectiveness of an early mathematics intervention ( -tffii) aimed at preschoolers. The results showed almost no gains in math achievement.H)Another playtime thief: the growing proportion of kids' time spent in front of screens and digitaldevices, even among preschoolers. Last year, Common Sense Media reported that children up through age eight spent an average of two hours and 19 minutes in front of screens each day, including an average of 42 minutes a day for those under two. This increase of digital use comes with rising risks of obesity, sleep deprivation and cognitive ( iJ.. 9'11 a-ii ) , language and social-emotional delays, the American Academy of Pediatrics warned in 2016.I)"I respect that parents have busy lives and it's easy to hand a child an iPhone," Yogman said. "Butthere's a cost to that. For young children, it's much too passive. And kids really learn better when they're actively engaged and have to really discover things."J)The decline of play is a special hazard for the roughly 1 in 5 children in the United States who live in poverty. These 14 million children most urgently need to develop the resilience ( -'pJ.1 <J}J ) that is cultivated with play. Instead, Yogman said, they are disproportionately affected by some of the trends that are making play scarce: academic pressures at schools that need to improve test scores, outside play areas that are limited or unsafe, and parents who lack the time or energy to share in playtime. K)Yogman also worries about the pressures that squeeze playtime for more affluent kids. "The notion that as parents we need to schedule every minute of their time is not doing them a great service," he said. Even well-meaning parents may be "robbing them of the opportunity to have that joy of discovery and curiosity-the opportunity to find things out on their own. "L)Play may not be a hard sell to kids. But UCLA pediatrician Carlos Lerner acknowledged that the pediatricians' new prescription may meet with skepticism OZ-iit.) from parents, who are anxious for advice on how to give their kids a leg up in the world. They should welcome the simplicity of the message, Lerner said. "It's liberating to be able to offer them this advice: that you spending time with your child and letting him play is one of the most valuable things you can do," he said. "It doesn't have to involve spending a lot of money or time, or joining a parenting group. It's something we can offer that's achievable. They just don't recognize it right now as particularly valuable."36.Increased use of digital devices steals away children's playtime.37.Since the beginning of this century, an increasing amount of time has been shifted in public schoolsfrom recess to academic activities.。

In your writing, you should1) describe the pie chart and the line graph;2) interpret their data;3) give your opinion.解答范例:The pie chart and the line graph illustrate the distribution of internet users' ages in China and the time spent on the internet per week respectively. As can be seen from the pie chart, the majority of internet users in China are aged between 18 to 30, accounting for 60% of the total, followed by the age group of 31 to 40, which makes up 30%. The rest, 10%, are people over 40. The line graph shows that people aged 18 to 30 spend the most time on the internet, around 25 hours per week, whereas the group aged 31 to 40 spend 15 hours per week on average. Surprisingly, internet users over 40 seem to spend even less time online, only about 10 hours per week. In my opinion, this data shows a clear generation gap in the use of the internet. Younger people, who are more tech-savvy, not only use the internet more frequently but also spend more time online. We should take this into consideration when designing online services to cater to different age groups.Task 2: Directions: Write a letter of about 100-120 words to a company, making suggestions for their services. You should include:1) the reason why you are writing;2) your suggestions.解答范例:Dear Customer Service Team, I am writing to express my concern regarding the recent experience I had with your company's services. I have been a loyal customer for several years, but I was disappointed with the poor quality of the products I received in my last order. I suggest that you improve the product quality control process to ensure all items meet the expected standards before shipping them out. Additionally, I recommend providing a more user-friendly online platform for customers to track their orders and contact customer service easily. I hope you will consider my suggestions and take action to enhance your services. Sincerely, [Your Name]Overall, the answer key for the 2021 June CET-4 exam provides students with a comprehensive guide to scoring well in each section of the test. By reviewing the correct answers and explanations, test-takers can better understand the types of questions asked and the skills needed to succeed on the exam.

You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.How to better work towards long-term goalsA.Hal Hershfield,a psychologist at the UCLA Anderson School of Management,wanted to know whypeople weren’t saving for retirement.Across the board,people are living longer.Logically,they’ll need more money to live comfortably in their post-work years.And yet,savings rates in the U.S.have gone down in recent decades,not up.B.To help explain this seemingly irrational behavior,Hershfield and his team scanned the brains of studyparticipants while asking them to what degree various traits(特征)—like“honorable”or“funny”—applied to their current self,their future self,a current other,or a future other.As participants answered, Hershfield’s team recorded which parts of their brains lit up.Unsurprisingly,people’s brains were most active when thinking about their current selves and least active when thinking about a current other.But the team found that participants’brain activity while considering their future selves more closely resembled their brain activity while thinking about a current other rather than the current self.C.Put in practical terms,when thinking of yourself in a month or a year or a decade,your brain registers thatperson in ways similar to how it would register Taylor Swift or the mailman.Understood in that way, saving for retirement is the equivalent of giving money away to someone else entirely.D.In light of Hershfield’s study,one simple question arises:Is it possible to make our present selves give adamn about our future selves?The answers are anything but simple.E.Seen through the lens of the present self versus the future self,our self-defeating actions—like choosingto watch television rather than go to the gym—suddenly make perfect sense.We get to enjoy the very concrete,immediate benefits of our actions while someone else(namely,our future selves)suffers the hypothetical(假设的),far-off consequences.As a result,the decisions we make for our present selves often look very different from our decisions for our future selves.We believe that tomorrow will be different.We believe that we will be different tomorrow;but in doing so,we prioritize our current mood over the consequences of our inaction for the future self.F.Understanding our procrastination(拖延)through the lens of the present and future selves,we’re left withthree possible solutions:The first is to force your future self to do whatever your present self doesn’t want to do.The second is to convince your present self that your future self is,in fact,still you.If the central problem is that we think of our future selves as other people,it follows that trying to identify more closely with our future selves will encourage us to make better long-term decisions.G.In a follow-up study,Hershfield wanted to explore ways to bridge the disconnect between the present andfuture selves and encourage people to save more for retirement.He and his team took photos of study participants,and then used image processing to visually age their faces.Participants were then placed in a virtual reality setting where they could look into a mirror and see their aged selves looking back at them.Participants who saw their aged selves said they would save30%more of their salary for retirement than the control group.H.Whatever your long-term goals may be—getting in better shape,launching your own business,writing abook—thinking about your deadline in terms of days rather than months or years can help you wrap your mind around how close the future really is.I.The third solution is to forget about your future self and use your present self’s love of instant gratification(满足感)to your advantage.While the two tactics(手段)above can be effective in making better long-term choices,in the end,you’re still struggling against human nature.Our brains are hard-wired for instant gratification.Instead of fighting your present self’s need for immediate rewards,why not use it to your advantage?When most of us set goals,we focus on long-term results we want to see—e.g.,losing weight, getting a promotion,retiring in comfort,etc.While those visions of our future selves can be inspiring, when it comes to actually doing the day-to-day work,it may be more effective to reframe activities in terms of their immediate,or at least very near-term,rewards.J.Take writing this article,for instance.It’s easy for me to imagine how amazing it will feel at the end of the workday to have this article done.This isn’t just my opinion.Research partners Kaitlin Woolley of Cornell University and Ayelet Fishbach of the University of Chicago have made a career out of studying the differences between the goals that people achieve and the ones that fall by the wayside.K.“In one study,we asked people online about the goals they set at the beginning of the year.Most people set goals to achieve delayed,long-term benefits,such as career advancement,debt repayment,or improved health.We asked these individuals how enjoyable it was to pursue their goal,as well as how important their goal was.We also asked whether they were still working on their goals two months after setting them.We found that enjoyment predicted people’s goal persistence two months after setting the goal far more than how important they rated their goal to be,”Woolley said.L.This pattern held true across a wide variety of goals from exercising to studying to eating healthier foods.For example,people ate50%more of a healthy food when directed to focus on the good taste rather than the long-term health benefits.Other studies have shown a greater uptake of exercise in people who were told to think of the enjoyment of doing the exercise now rather than future health gains.M.These findings suggest that when it comes to achieving your goals,enjoying the process itself is more important than wanting the long-term benefits.In other words,present self trumps(战胜)future self.Who says instant gratification has to be a bad thing?By all means,set ambitious long-term goals for your future self,but when it comes to actually following through day-to-day,make sure your present self knows what’s in it for her too.36.Our brains are genetically determined to satisfy immediate desires.37.Taken in a practical way,saving for post-work years is like giving money away to others.38.Research found that,as regards achievement of one’s goals,it is important to focus more on enjoying theprocess than the long-term benefits.39.Regarding our future selves as still being ourselves will help us make better long-term decisions.40.Savings rates in America have dropped in recent decades even though people’s life expectancy hasincreased.41.Researchers found that enjoyment rather than importance enabled people to persist in their goals.42.When making decisions,we give priority to our current frame of mind without thinking much of theconsequences.43.People ate more of a healthy food when they focused on its good taste instead of its long-term benefits.44.As was expected,when people thought of their present selves,their brains were observed to become moreactive.45.Researchers found that participants who saw the images of their aged selves would save more for theirlater years than those who didn’t.Section CDirections:There are2passages 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 Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.People often wonder why some entrepreneurs have greater success than others.Is it habits,connections, luck,work ethic or any other behavior?I believe the key to success is willpower.Willpower is the ability to control yourself.It is a strong determination that allows you to do something difficult.It is a behavior we are born with more than one we learn;however,it is possible to not only learn it,but also strengthen it with constant exercise.Willpower is just like a muscle;to keep it strong you need to constantly exercise it.People with a great amount of willpower have the discipline to develop positive,successful habits.Even with an incredible amount of talent,without the discipline and motivation to create positive habits,it can be difficult to achieve success.Willpower and habits go hand in hand.It is critical to create good habits and take the actions necessary to stick to those habits day in and day out for greater success.Almost half of our daily actions are part of our habits and not decisions,so once the correct habits are in place,you will automatically perform those tasks on a day-to-day basis.The best way to create and stick to a habit is to have strong motivation.It’s easier to change your habits to lose weight if you have a health issue and you want to be around longer for your kids,or if your business is something you’re passionate about.Having a valuable outcome associated with a habit will help you stick to that habit permanently.The art of self-control is one that most successful individuals have mastered.Self-control enables you to avoid behaviors that don’t contribute to your success and adopt those that do.Because there is a delayed satisfaction associated with self-control,it can be easy to get off track. However,if you work on sticking to those small positive habits one day at a time,it becomes easier to stay strong and achieve that delayed reward.Once a reward is achieved,it is much easier to continue sticking to your habits.46.What does the author say we need to do to strengthen our willpower?A.Keep it under control.B.Apply it continuously.C.Learn from entrepreneurs.D.Aim at success determinedly.47.How are almost half of our daily actions performed according to the passage?A.Out of habit.B.With determination.C.Like muscle building.D.By self-discipline.48.What will help people stick to doing something constructive automatically?A.Practising it on a day-to-day basis.B.Associating it with improving health.C.Possessing a reasonable amount of talent.D.Foreseeing the desired outcome it will yield.49.How does the art of self-control help us succeed?A.By allowing us to remain clear-headed permanently.B.By enabling us to alter our behaviors constantly.C.By enabling us to take positive actions.D.By allowing us to avoid taking risks.50.Why can it be difficult for us to maintain self-control?A.Most of us are not in the habit of exercising self-control.B.We may not get immediate rewards from self-control.C.Self-control tends to be associated with pains.D.Self-control only brings about small benefits.Passage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.Today,most scientific research is funded by government grants,companies doing research and development,and non-profit foundations.As a society,we reap the rewards from this science,but we also help pay for it.You indirectly support science through taxes you pay,products and services you purchase,and donations you make.Funding for science has changed with the times.Historically,science has been largely supported through private patronage(资助),church sponsorship,or simply paying for the research yourself.Today,researchers are likely to be funded by a mix of grants from various government agencies,institutions,and foundations. Other research is funded by private companies.Such corporate sponsorship is widespread in some fields. Almost75%of U.S.clinical trials in medicine are paid for by private companies.And,of course,some researchers today still fund small-scale studies out of their own pockets.Most of us can’t afford to do nuclear research as a private hobby,but birdwatchers,rock collectors,and others can do real research on a limited budget.In a perfect world,money wouldn’t matter—all scientific studies would be completely objective.But in the real world,funding may introduce biases.Drug research sponsored by the pharmaceutical(制药的) industry is more likely to end up favoring the drug under consideration than studies sponsored by government grants or charitable organizations.Similarly,nutrition research sponsored by the food industry is more likelyto end up favoring the food under consideration than independently funded research.So what should we make of all this?Should we ignore any research funded by companies or special interest groups?Certainly not.These groups provide invaluable funding for scientific research.Furthermore, science has many safeguards in place to catch instances of bias that affect research outcomes.Ultimately, misleading results will be corrected as science proceeds;however,this process takes time.Meanwhile,it pays to examine studies funded by industry or special interest groups with extra care.Are the results consistent with other independently funded studies?What do other scientists have to say about this research?A little examination can go a long way towards identifying bias associated with the funding source.51.What does the passage mainly discuss regarding scientific research?A.Its foundation.B.Its rewards.C.Its prospect.D.Its funding.52.What do we learn from the passage about researchers like birdwatchers and rock collectors?A.They have little access to government funding.B.They can do research with limited resources.C.They can do amateur work in their own fields.D.They have no means for large-scale research.53.What would scientific studies look like in a perfect world according to the author?A.They would be totally unbiased.B.They would be independently fundedC.They would be responsibly conducted.D.They would be strictly supervised.54.What does the author say about companies and special interest groups?A.They try hard to pull down the safeguards for research.B.They make extra efforts to research their own products.C.They provide valuable resources for scientific research.D.They reap the most benefits from scientific research.55.What does the author think of research funded by industry or special interest groups?A.Its recommendations should be examined for feasibility.B.Its misleading results should be corrected in time.C.Its validity should be checked with additional care.D.Its hidden biases should be identified independently.Part IV Translation(30minutes) Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.You should write your answer on Answer Sheet2.四合院(siheyuan)是中国一种传统的住宅建筑,其特点是房屋建造在一个院子的四周,将院子合围在中间。

Passage Two Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.1/ 7Kodak’s decision to file for bankruptcy(破产)protection is a sad, though not unexpected, turning point for a leading American corporation that pioneered consumer photography and dominated the film market for decades, but ultimately failed to adapt to the digital revolution. Although many attribute Kodak’s downfall to “complacency(自满) ,” that explanation doesn’t acknow-ledge the lengths to which the company went to reinvent itself. Decades ago, Kodak anticipated that digital photography would overtake film — and in fact, Kodak invented the first digital camera in 1975 — but in a fateful decision, the company chose to shelf its new discovery to focus on its traditional film business. It wasn’t that Kodak was blind to the future, said Rebecca Henderson, a professor at Harvard Business School, but rather that it failed to execute on a strategy to confront it. By the time the company realized its mistake, it was too late. Kodak is an example of a firm that was very much aware that they had to adapt, and spent a lot of money trying to do so, but ultimately failed. Large companies have a difficult time switching into new markets because there is a temptation to put existing assets into the new businesses. Although Kodak anticipated the inevitable2/ 7rise of digital photography, its corporate(企业的)culture wastoo rooted in the successes of the past for it to make the clean break necessary to fully embrace the future. They were a company stuck in time. Their history was so important to them. Now their history has become a liability. Kodak’s downfall over the last several decades was dramatic. In 1976, the company commanded 90% of the market for photographic film and 85% of the market for cameras. But the 1980s brought new competition from Japanese film company Fuji Photo, which undermined Kodak by offering lower prices for film and photo supplies. Kodak’s decision not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was a major miscalculation. The bid went instead to Fuji, which exploited its sponsorship to win a permanent foothold in the marketplace. 62. What do we learn about Kodak? A) It went bankrupt all of a sudden. B) It is approaching its downfall. C) It initiated the digital revolution in the film industry. D) It is playing a dominant role in the film market.63. Why does the author mention Kodak’s invention of the first digital camera? A) To show its early attempt to reinvent itself. B) To show its effort to overcome complacency. C) To show its quickadaptation to the digital revolution. D) To show its will to compete3/ 7with Japan’s Fuji photo. 64. Why do large companies havedifficulty switching to new markets? A) They find it costly to give up their existing assets. B) They tend to be slow in confronting new challenges. C) They are unwilling to invest in new technology.D) They are deeply stuck in their glorious past. 65. What does the author say Kodak’s history has become? A) A bu rden. B) A mirror.C) A joke. D) A challenge. 66. What was Kodak’s fatal mistake? A) Its blind faith in traditional photography. B) Its failure to see Fuji photo’s emergence. C) Its refusal to sponsor the 1984 Olympics.D) Its overconfidence in its corporate culture. Part V Cloze (15 minutes) Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Whether you think you need daytime rest or not, picking up a nap(午睡)habit is a smart, healthy move. The Mayo Clinic says naps 67 relaxation, better mood and alertness, and a sharper working 68 . A 20XX年British study found that compared to getting more nighttime sleep, a mid-day nap was the best way to cope 69 the mid-afternoon sleepiness.According to the Harvard Health Letter, several studies have4/ 7shown that people 70 new information better when they take a nap shortly after learning it. And, most 71 , a 20XX年study of nearly 24,000 Greek adults in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that people who napped 72 had a 37 percent reduced risk of dying 73 heart disease compared to people who didn’t nap. Of course, napping isn’t 74 for everyone. If you’re suffering from inability to sleep, naps that are too long or taken too late in the day can 75 with your ability to fall or stay asleep at night. But for most, naps can make you feel sharper and happier. Naps provide different benefits 76 on how long they are.

Surprisingly, the best place to take a nap may be a hammock(吊床)if you have one.

月大学英语四级考试真题2008年12月大学英语四级考试真题Part I Writing (30minutes)Limiting The Use of Disposable Plastic Bags1.一次性塑料袋曾被广泛的使用2.造成的问题3.限制使用的意义Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)That’s enough, kidsIt was a lovely day at the park and Stella Bianchi was enjoying the sunshine with her two children when a young boy, aged aboutfour, approached her two-year-old son and pushed him to the ground.“I’d watched him for a little while and my son was the fourth or fifth ch ild he’d shoved,” she says. “I went over to them, picked up my son, turned to the boy and said, firmly, ‘No, we don’t push,’” What happened next was unexpected.“The boy’s mother ran toward me from across the park,” Stella says, “I thought she was coming over to apologize, but instead she started shouting at me for ‘disciplining her child’. All I did was let him know his behavior was unacceptable. Was I supposed to sit back while her kid did whatever he wanted, hurting other children in the process?”Getting your own children to play nice is difficult enough. Dealing with otherpeople’s children has become a minefield.In my house, jumping on the sofa is not allowed. In my sister’s house it’s encouraged. For her, it’s about kids being kids: “If you can’t do it at three, when can you do it?”Each of these philosophies is valid and, it has to be said, my son loves visiting his aunt’s house. But I find myself saying “no”a lot when her kids are over at mine. That’s OK between sisters but becomes dangerous te rritory when you’re talking to the children of friends or acquaintances.“Kids aren’t all raised the same,” agrees Professor Naomi White of Monash University. “But there’s still an idea that they’re the property of the parent. We see our children as an extension of ourselves, so if you’re saying that my child is behavinginappropriately, then that’s somehow a criticism of me.”In those circumstances, it’s difficult to know whether to approach the child directly or the parent first. There are two schools of thought.“I’d go to the child first,”says Andrew Fuller, author of Tricky Kids. “Usually a quiet reminder that ‘we don’t do that here’is enough. Kids nave finely tuned antennae (直觉) for how to behave in different settings.”He points out bringing it up with the parent first may make them feel neglectful, which could cause problems. Of course, approaching the child first can bring its own headaches, too.This is why White recommends that youapproach the parents first. “Raise your concerns with the pa rents if they’re there and ask them to deal with it,” she says.Asked how to approach a parent in this situation, psychologist Meredith Fuller answers: “Explain your needs as well as stressing the importance of the friendship. Preface your remarks with something like: ‘I know you’ll think I’m silly but in my house I don’t want…’”When it comes to situations where you’re caring for another child, white is straightforward: “common sense must prevail. If things don’t go well, then have a chat.”There’re a couple of new grey areas. Physical punishment, once accepted from any adult, is no longer appropriate. “Now you can’t do it without feeling uneasy aboutit,” White says.Men might also feel uneasy about dealing with other people’s children. “Men feel n ervous,” White says. “A new set of considerations has come to the fore as part of the debate about how we handle children.”For Andrew Fuller, the child-centric nature of our society has affected everyone: “ The rules are different now from when today’s p arents were growing up,” he says, “Adults are scared of saying: ‘Don’t swear’, or asking a child to stand up on a bus. They’re worried that there will be conflict if they point these things out –either from older children, or their parents.”He sees it as a loss of the sense of common public good and public courtesy (礼貌), and says that adults suffer form it as much aschildren.Meredith Fuller agrees: “A code of conduct is hard to create when you’re living in a world in which everyone is exhausted from overwork and lack of sleep, and a world in which nice people are perceived to finish last.”“It’s about what I’m doing and what I need,” Andrew Fuller says. “The days when a kid came home from school and said, “I got into trouble”. And dad said, ‘you proba bly deserved it’. Are over. Now the parents are charging up to the school to have a go at teachers.”This jumping to our children’s defense is part of what fuels the “walking on eggshells”feeling that surrounds our dealings with other people’s children. You know that if you remonstrate(劝诫) with thechild, you’re going to have to deal with the parent. it’s admirable to be protective of our kids, but is it good?“Children have to learn to negotiate the world on their own, within reasonable boundaries,” White says. “I suspect that it’s only certain sectors of the population doing the running to the school –better –educated parents are probably more likely to be too involved.”White believes our notions of a more child-centred society should be challenged. “ Today we have a situation where, in many families, both parents work, so the amount of time children get from parents has diminished,” she says.“Also, sometimes when we talk about being child-centred, it’s a way of talking about treating our children likecommodities(商品). We’re centred on them but in ways that reflect positively on us. We treat them as objects whose appearance and achievements are something we can be proud of, rather than serve the best interests of the children.”One way over-worked, under-resourced parents show commitment to their children is to leap to their defence. Back at the park, Bianchi’s intervention(干预) on her son’s behalf ended in an undignified exchange of insulting words with the other boy’s mother.As Bianchi approached the park bench where she’d been sitting, other mums came up to her and congratulated her on taking a stand. “Apparently the boy had a longstanding reputation for bad behaviour and his mum for even worse behaviour if he was challenged.”Andrew Fuller doesn’t believe that we should be afraid of dealing with other people’s kids. “look at kids that aren’t your own as a potential minefield,” he says. He recommends that we don’t stay silent over inappropriate behaviour, particularly with regular visitors.1.

Books influence the depth and breadth oflife. They meet the natural 47 for freedom, for expression, for creativity and beauty of life. Learners, therefore, must have books, and the right type of book, for the satisfaction of their need. Readers turn 48 to books because their curiosity concerning all manners of things, their eagerness to share in the experiences of others and their need to 49 from their own limited environment lead them to find in books food for the mind and the spirit. Through their reading they find a deeper significance to life as books acquaint them with life in the world as it was and it is now. They are presented with a 50 of human experiences and come to 51 other ways of thought and living. And while 52 their own relationships and responses to life , the readers often find that the 53 in their stories are going through similar adjustments, which help to clarify and give significance to their own.Books provide 54 material for readers’ imagination to grow. Imagination is a valuable quality and a motivating power, and stimulates achievement. While enriching their imagination, books 55 their outlook, develop a fact-finding attitude and train them to use leisure 56 .

According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman.There are many reasons for this-typically, men take more risks than woman and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor.“Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as t hey should, ” says Dr. Gullotta. “This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike.”Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45,it should be at least once a year.Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old ma who had delayed doing anything about his smoker’s cough for a year.“When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer” he says, “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged this life”According to a recent survey, 95%of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctoronce a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.“A lot of men think they are invincible(不可战胜的)”Gullotta says “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think”Geez, if it could happen to him.Then there is the ostrich approach,” some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know, ” says Dr. Ross Cartmill.“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says .He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-upsRegular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain on the public purse,Cartmill says.” But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater: it is called premature death.”57.Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage?A) They are more likely to survive serious diseases today. B) Their average life span has been considerably extended.C) They have lived long enough to read this article. D) They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier live.58.What does the author state is the most important reason men die five years earlier on average than women?A) Men drink and smoke much more thanwomen B) Men don’t seek medical care as often as womenC) Men aren’t as cautions as women in face of danger D) Men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases59. Which of the following best completes the sentence ‘Geez, if it could happen to him,…’(line2,para,8)?A) it could happen to me, tooB) I should avoid playing golfC) I should consider myself luckyD) it would be a big misfortune60. what does Dr. Ross Cartmill mean by “the ostrich approach”(line q para.9)?A) A casual attitude towards one’s health conditionsB) A new therapy for certain psychological problemsC) Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involvedD) Unwillingness to find out about one’s disease because of fear61. What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men?A) They may increase public expensesB) They will save money in the long runC) They may cause psychological strains on men D) They will enable men to live as long as womenPassage twoQuestion 62 to 66 are based on the following passageHigh-quality customer service is preached(宣扬) by many ,but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than doneShoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store, but instead will alert their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers-and anyone who will listen.Store managers are often the last to hear complaints, and often find out only when their regular customers decide to frequent their competitors, according to a study jointly conducted by Verde Group and Wharton school.“Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers,” said Paula C ourtney, President of the Verde Group. “The store loses thecustomer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.”On average, every unhappy customer will complain to at least four other, and will no longer visit the specific store for every dissatisfied customer, a store will lose up to three more due to negative reviews. The resulting “snowball effect” can be disastrous to retailers.According to the research, shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems. ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers.The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered (塞满了的) shelves, over-loaded racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude salespeople.During peak shopping hours, some retailerssolved the parking problems by getting moonlighting (业余兼职的) local police to work as parking attendants. Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty parking spaces. This guidance eliminated the need for customers to circle the parking lot endlessly, and avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space.Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions.Most importantly, salespeople should be diplomatic and polite with angry customers.“Retailers who’re responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who aren’t so friendly.” said ProfessorStephen Hoch. “Maybe something as simpl e as a greeter at the store entrance would help.”Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.62. Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?A) Most customers won’t bother to complain even if they have had unhappy experiences.B) Customers would rather relate their unhappy experiences to people around them.C) Few customers believe the service will be improved.D) Customers have no easy access to store managers.63. What does Paula Courtney imply by saying “ … the shopper must also find a replacement” (Line 2, Para. 4)?A) New customers are bound to replace old ones.B) It is not likely the shopper can find the same products in other stores.C) Most stores provide the same kind of service.D) Not complaining to the manager causes the shopper some trouble too.64. Shop owners often hire moonlighting police as parking attendants so that shoppers_____.A) can stay longer browsing in the storeB) won’t have trouble parking their carsC) won’t have any worries about securityD) can find their cars easily after shopping65. What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers?A) Manners of the salespeopleB) Hiring of efficient employeesC) Huge supply of goods for saleD) Design of the store layout.66. To achieve better shopping experiences, customers are advised to _________.A) exert pressure on stores to improve their service B) settle their disputes with stores in a diplomatic wayC) voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directly D) shop around and make comparisons between storesPart V Cloze (15 minutes)Playing organized sports is such a common experience in the United States that many children and teenagers that them for granted. This is especially true 67 children from families and communities that have the resources needed to organize and 68 sports programs and make sure that there is easy 69 to participation opportunities. Children in low-income families and poor communities are 70 likely to take organizedyouth sports for granted because they often 71 the resources needed to pay for participation 72, equipment, and transportation to practices and games 73 their communities do not have resources to build and 74 sports fields and facilities.Organized youth sports 75 appeared during the early 20th century in the United States and other wealthy nations.
