Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answers on your answer sheet.TEXT AIn the case of mobile phones, change is everything. Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.First. Let ‘ stalk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, thefixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.This has several implications. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the― meeting‖ influencelonger.Peopleneednoto make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longerat 8 ‖ , but― text me around 8 and we‘ ll see where we all are‖ .Texting changes people as well. In their paper, ― insights into the Social and PsychologicalEffects of SMS Text Messaging‖ , two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the― talkers‖― andtextersthe-those‖ who7prefer voice to text message and those whoprefer text to voice. They found that the mobile phone‘ sindividuality and privacy gave texters theability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family wouldbe surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present aself-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There aretwo kinds that people use while speaki ng on the phone. There is the ― speakeasy the:‖ head is held high, in a self- confident way, chatting away. And there is the― spacemaker‖ : these people fo themselves and keep out other people.Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people ‘privacys. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps youneedn ‘ t worry so much. After all, it is good to talk .81.When people plan to meet nowadays, theyA.arrange the meeting place beforehandB.postpone fixing the place till last minuteC.seldom care about when and where to meetD.still love to work out detailed meeting plans.82.According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological effect are mostly likely tobe seen on ______.A. talkersB. the "speakeasy"C. the ― spacemaker ‖D. texters83.We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters areA. quite revealingB. well writtenC. unacceptable by othersD. shocking to others84.According to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?A. talkersB. the speakeasyC. the spacemakerD. texters85.An appropriate title for the passage might be_____.A. the SMS effectB. cultural implication of mobile useC. change in the use of the mobileD. body language and the mobile phone!TEXT BOver the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal-or at least many parts of it have.In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned. Ideasabout social class-whether a person is ― working-class ‖or ― middle-class ‖are one area in whichchanges have been extremely slow.In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachersand doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers ‘jobs were generally much lesssecure, distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence. The typical working manwould collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it8was widely believed,having given his wifeher― housekeeping‖ , would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.The stereotype of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. Hewas-and still is –inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house of theseprovide him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity (orthe education and training) to make such long-term plans.Nowadays, a great deal has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much,if not more, than their middle-class supervisors. Social security and laws to improve century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about. Working―tomorrow-class ‖people seemslowlyto be losing the feeling of inferiority they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendencyin the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.The changes in both life-styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people.They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in havinga good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap betweenthe well-paid (whatever the type of job they may have) and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists,there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the oldconflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.86. Which of the following is seen as the cause of class differences in the past?A. life style and occupationB. Attitude and incomeC. income and job securityD. job security and hobbies87. The writer seems to suggest that the description of __________is closer to truth?A. middle –class ways of spending moneyB. working-class ways of spending theweekendC. working-class drinking habitsD. middle-class attitudes88. According to the passage, which of the following is not a typical feature of the middle -class?A. desiring for securityB. Making long term plansC. having priorities in lifeD. saving money89.Working -class people's sense of security increased as a result of all the following factorexcept_________.A. better social securityB. more job opportunitiesC. higher living standardD. better legal protection.90.Which of the following statement is incorrect?A.Changes are slowly taking place in all sectors of the British society.B.The gap between working -class and middle- class young people is narrowingC.different in income will remain but those in occupation will disappearD.middle-class people may sometimes feel inferior to working-class people9TEXT CFor several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and some times stayed to dinewith him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house,when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile.His changes of mannerdid not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He wassitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile onhis lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned,and asked me,― do you think I‘m handsome, Miss Eyre?‖The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: ?No, sir.‖―Ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.― Sir, I‘m sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn‘t matter, or something like th ―No, you shouldn‘t! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you haveawful faults to counterbalance your few good pointsI thought to myself that he might have too. He s eemed to read my mind, and said quickly,‖ yeyou ‘ re right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, andperhaps wis er. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn‘ tmy character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you ‘ rethesort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you thetic and give‘rethesy m pahope. ‖It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn‘t seem to likethe totalkfinishquickly, aswas the case for the first time.― Don‘bet afraid of me, Miss Eyre. ‖He continued. ― Youdon‘ trelax or laugh very much; perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more naturalwith me, and laugh, and speak freely. You‘re like a bird in a cageyou. Whengetout of the cage,you ‘ ll fly very high. Good night.‖91. At the beginning miss Eyre ‘ s impressions of Mr. Rochester were all except_________A. busyB. sociableC. friendlyD. changeable92.In "....and all my knowledge him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, ⋯‖ .the wordabout means_________A. aroundB. onC. outsideD. concerning93.

At the end of the passage, Mr. Rochester sounded________A. rudeB. coldC. friendlyD. encouraging.TEXT DThe ideal companion machine-the computer- would not only look, feel, and sound friendly butwould also be programmed to behave in a pleasant manner. Those qualities that make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting. In itsfirst encounter it might be somewhat hesitant, but as it came to know the user it would progress to amore relaxed and intimate style. The machine would not be a passive participant but would add its own suggestions, information, and opinions; it would sometimes take the initiative in developing or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own.Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it imitated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another. At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates attachment and intimacy.The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation.After experiencing a wealth of powerful, well-timed friendship indicators, the user would be very likely to accept the computer as far more than a machine and might well come to regard it as a friend.An artificial relationship of this type would provide many of the benefits that could continue from previous discussions. It would have a familiarity with the user ‘lifes as revealed in earlier contact, and it would be understanding and good-humored. The computer‘ s own personality would be lively and impressive, and it would develop in response to that of the user. With features such as these, the machine might indeed become a very attractive social partner.96. Which of the following is not a feature of the ideal companion machine?A. Active in communicationB. Attractive in personality.C. Enjoyable in performanceD. Unpredictable in behavior97. The computer would develop friendships with humans in a (n) _______way.A. quickB. unpredictableC. productiveD. inconspicuous.98.Which of the following aspects is not mentioned when the passage discusses the benefits of artificial relationships?A. Being able to pick up an interesting conversation.B. Being sensitive to earlier contact.C. Being ready to learn about the person's life11D.Having a pleasant and adaptable personality.。

Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.First. Let's talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.This has several implications. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the "meeting" influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer "see you there at 8", but "text me around 8 and we'll see where we all are".Texting changes people as well. In their paper, "insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging", two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the "talkers" and the "texters"-those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text to voice.They found that the mobile phone's individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the "speakeasy": the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the "spacemaker": these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people's privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn't worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.81 when people plan to meet nowadays, theyA: arrange the meeting place beforehandB. postpone fixing the place till last minuteC: seldom care about when and where to meetD: still love to work out detailed meeting plans.82 According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological effect are mostly likely to be seen onA: TALKERSB; the "speakeasy"c. the "spacemaker"D. texters83 We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters areA: quite revealingB: well writtenc: unacceptable by othersd; shocking to others84 according to the passage ,who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobilea: talkersb: the speakeasyc :the spacemakerd: texters85 an appropriate title for the passage might beA: the SMS effectb: cultural implication of mobile usec: change in the use of the mobiled: body language and the mobile phone!TEXT BOver the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal-or at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned. Ideas about social class-whether a person is "working-class" or "middle-class"-are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers' jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her "housekeeping", would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.The stereotype of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-and still is - inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house of these provided him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity （or the education and training）to make such long-term plans.Nowadays, a great deal has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much, if not more, than their middle-class supervisors. Social security and laws to improve century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about "tomorrow". Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.The changes in both life-styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people. They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid （whatever the type of job they may have）and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge,or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.86, which of the following is seen as the cause of class differences in the past?A: life style and occupationB: Attitude and incomeC: income and job securityD: job security and hobbies87 the writer seems to suggest that the description of —— is closer to truth?A: middle -class ways of spending moneyB: working-class ways of spending the weekendC: working-class drinking habitsD: middle-class attitudes88 according to the passage, which of the following is not a typical feature of the middle -class?A: desiring for securityB: Making long term plansC: having priorities in lifeD: saving money89 working -class people's sense of security increased as a resulf of all the follwoing factor except?A: better social securityB: more job opportunitiesC: higher living standardD: better legal protection.90 Which of the following statement is incorrect?A: Changes are slowly taking place in all sectors of the British society.B: The gap between working -class and middle- class young people is narrowingC: different in income will remain but those in occupation will disappearD: middle-class people may sometimes feel inferior to working-class people!TEXT CFor several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighourhood called and some times stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, "do you think I'm handsome, Miss Eyre?"The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: 'No, sir.""ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.""Sir, I'm sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn't matter, or something like that,""no, you shouldn't! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awaful faults to counterbalance your few good pointsI thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly," yes, you're right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn't my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you're sympathetic and give them hope."It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn't seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time."Don't be afraid of me, Miss Eyre." He continued. " you don't relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. You're like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you'll fly very high. Good night."91:at the beginning miss Eyre 's impressions of Mr. Rochester were all exceptA: busyB: sociableC: friendlyD: changeable92, in "……and all my knowledge him was limited to occasional meetings about the house,…".the word about meansA: aroundB: onC: outsideD: concerning.93. why did Mr. Rochester say" ……and the you stab me in the back!" the （7thpara.A: because Jane had intended to kill him with a knifeB: because Jane had intended to be more critical.C: because Jane had regretted having talked to himD: because Jane had said something else to correct herself.94, from what Mr. Rochest told Miss Eyre, we can conclude that he wanted toA: Tell her all his troublesB: tell her his life experience.C: change her opinion of himD change his circumstances95, at the end of the passage , Mr. Rochester soundedA: rudeB: coldC: friendlyD: encouraging.TEXTDThe ideal companion machine-the computer- would not only look, feel, and sound friendly but would also be programmed to behave in a pleasant manner. Those qualities that make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting. In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant, but as it came to know the user it would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style. The machine would not be a passive participant but would add its own suggestions, information, and opinions; it would sometimes take the initiative in developing or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own.Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it imitated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another. At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates attachment and intimacy. The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation. After experiencing a wealth of powerful, well-timed friendship indicators, the user would be very likely to accept the computer as far more than a machine and might well come to regard it as a friend.An artificial relationship of this type would provide many of the benefits that could continue from previous discussions. It would have a familiarity with the user's life as revealed in earlier contact, and it would be understanding and good-humored. The computer's own personality would be lively and impressive, and it would develop in response to that of the user. With features such as these, the machine might indeed become a very attractive social partner.96. Which of the following is not a feature of the ideal companion machine?A: Active in communicationB: Attractive in personality.C: enjoyable in performanceD: unpredictable in behaviour97. The computer would develop friendships with humans in a （n）——way.A: QuickB: unpredictableC: productiveD: inconspicuous.98. Which of the following aspects is not mentioned when the passage discusses the benefits of artificial relationships?A: Being able to pick up an interesting conversation.B: Being sensitive to earlier contact.C: Being ready to learn about the person's lifeD: Having a pleasant and adaptable personality.99 Throughout the passage, the author is _____in his attitude toward the computerA: favorableB: criticalC: vagueD: hesitant100. Which might be the most appropriate title of the passage?A: Articial relationships .B: How to form intimate relationshipsC: The affectionate machineD: Humans and computersPART ⅥWRITINGSection A CompositionRecently a Beijing information company did a survey of student life among more than 700 students in Beijing, Guangzhou, Xi'an, Chengdu, Shanghai, Wuhan, Nanjing, and Shenyang .

2006年text4 考研英语讲解摘要：1.引言：介绍2006 年考研英语（一）阅读Text 4 的文章背景和主题2.文章概述：分析文章的结构和主旨3.艺术家的特质：探讨艺术家被认为奇怪的原因4.艺术家的创作焦点：解释艺术家关注负面情感的原因5.结论：总结文章的主要观点和启示正文：2006 年考研英语（一）阅读Text 4 的文章主题为“艺术家的奇怪之处及其创作焦点”。

文章首先通过一个摘要引出，让人们觉得艺术家是很奇怪的，接着详细分析了艺术家被认为奇怪的原因以及他们为何选择关注负面情感。

在文章的第一段中，作者提到了许多事情都会让人们觉得艺术家是很奇怪的。

但是，最奇怪的事情可能是：艺术家唯一的工作就是探索人的感情，却选择关注那些感觉不好的情感。

在此，作者对“艺术家”的定义并未局限于绘画、雕塑等传统的艺术领域，而是将范围扩展到了探索人类情感的各个领域。

随后，文章通过具体的例子来阐述艺术家被认为奇怪的原因。

首先，艺术家往往具有独特的思维方式和行为举止，这使得他们容易成为社会中的异类。

其次，艺术家的创作过程往往充满了艰辛和痛苦，他们需要不断地对自己的作品进行修改和完善，以达到表达情感的目的。

这些特质使得艺术家在很大程度上与普通人有所区别，从而导致了他们被认为是奇怪的。

在文章的第三段，作者解释了艺术家为何选择关注负面情感。

根据作者的观点，负面情感可以更好地激发艺术家的创作灵感。

在负面情感的驱使下，艺术家们可以更加深入地探索人类的内心世界，挖掘出更加丰富的情感表达方式。

同时，负面情感还可以让艺术家们更好地体现出自己的个性和独特性，从而使作品更具吸引力。

总之，这篇文章让我们深入了解了艺术家的奇怪之处及其创作焦点。

通过分析艺术家的特质和关注负面情感的原因，我们可以更好地理解艺术家的创作过程和动机。

Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well. First. Let‘s talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line fixed-line phone, phone, phone, is is is that that that a a a mobile mobile mobile number number number corresponds corresponds corresponds to to to a a a person, person, person, while while while a a a landline landline landline goes goes goes to to to a a place.If place.If you you you call call call my my my mobile, mobile, mobile, you you you get get get me. me. me. If If If you you you call call call my my my fixed-line fixed-line fixed-line phone, phone, phone, you you you get get get whoever whoever answers it. This has several implications. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the ―meetingǁ influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting meeting place. place. place.

This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well. Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the ―speakeasyǁ: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the ―spacemakerǁ: thes e people focus on themselves and keep out other people. Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people‘s privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn‘t worry so much. After all, it is good to talk. 81 when people plan to meet nowadays, they A: arrange the meeting place beforehand B. postpone fixing the place till last minute C: seldom care about when and where to meet D: still love to work out detailed meeting plans. 82 According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological effect are mostly likely to be seen on A: TALKERS B; the "speakeasy" c. the ―spacemakerǁD. texters 83 We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters are A: quite revealing B: well written c: unacceptable by others d; shocking to others 84 according to the passage ,who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile a: talkers b: the speakeasy c :the spacemaker d: texters 85 an appropriate title for the passage might be A: the SMS effect b: cultural implication of mobile use c: change in the use of the mobile d: body language and the mobile phone!

Working Working-class -class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority they had in the past.

There seems to be much less difference than in previous generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid (whatever the type of job they may have) and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups. 86, which of the following is seen as the cause of class differences in the past?

TEXT C For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighourhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal. During During this this this time, time, time, all all all my my my knowledge knowledge knowledge of of of him him him was was was limited limited limited to to to occasional occasional occasional meetings meetings meetings about about about the the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them. One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, ―do you think I‘m handsome, Miss Eyre?ǁThe answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: ‗No, sir.ǁ“Ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.ǁ“Sir, I‘m sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn‘t matter, or something like that,ǁ“N o, you shouldn‘t!

This has led to some debate over whether students should be given this much power.There are several factors that students consider when choosing a lecturer, including the teaching style of the lecturer, the lecturer's academic background, and the lecturer's reputation among students. The ideal lecturer is one who has an interesting teaching style, a diverse academic background, and a good reputation among students.There are both positive and negative aspects to allowing students to choose their lecturers. Giving students the choice encourages them to take ownership for their classes, and also puts pressure on teachers to improve their teaching quality.However, the factors that students consider might not be the ones that lead to the highest quality of education. Schools might end up with lecturers who teach interesting classes without much content.。

The approach of the Chinese Lunar New Year poses a national issue concerning the necessity of holding the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Its established status is being challenged by a growing number of people, especially by younger generations. It is increasingly difficult to cater for all tastes.
Some individuals deem that it should be canceled or replaced by other programs. These young people focus their attention on other forms of celebration instead of immersing themselves in TV. Despite that, the majority of mid-aged people and senior citizens uphold the importance of the traditional performance.

2006年英语专四作文

2006年英语专四作文英文回答：While the use of social media can be a positive force in society, it also has the potential to lead to a number of negative consequences for individuals. Some of the most commonly cited drawbacks of social media include:Cyberbullying: Social media can provide a platform for bullies to harass and intimidate others anonymously, which can have a devastating impact on the victims' mental and emotional health.Addiction: Social media can be highly addictive, and spending excessive amounts of time on social media can lead to problems with work, school, and relationships.Isolation: While social media can be a way to connect with others, it can also paradoxically lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness if people spend more timeinteracting with their online friends than with people in their real lives.Depression and anxiety: Studies have linked excessive social media use to an increased risk of depression and anxiety, particularly among young people.Spread of misinformation: Social media can be a breeding ground for misinformation and fake news, which can have a negative impact on society and politics.Privacy concerns: Social media companies collect vast amounts of data on their users, which raises concerns about privacy and data security.It is important to note that not everyone who uses social media experiences these negative consequences. However, it is important to be aware of the potential risks and to use social media in moderation.中文回答：社交媒体带来的积极和消极影响。

Built for horse, carriage, and foot traffic, they were usually poorly cared for and too narrow to accommodate ( 容纳) automobiles. With the increase in auto production, private turnpike(收费公路) companies under local authorities began to spring up, and by 1921 there were 387,000 miles of paved roads. Many were built using specifications of 19th century Scottish engineers Thomas Telford and John MacAdam( for whom the macadam surface is named), whose specifications stressed the importance of adequate drainage. Beyond that, there were no national standards for size, weightrestrictions, or commercial signs. During World War I, roads throughout the country were nearly destroyed by the weight of trucks. When General Eisenhower returned from Germany in 1919, after serving in the U. S. Anny's first transcontinental motor convoy (车队), he noted: "The old convoy had started me thinking about good, two-lane highways, but Germany's Autobahn or motorway had made me see the wisdom of broader ribbons across the land. ' It would take another war before the federal government would act on a national highway system. During World War Il ,a tremendous increase in trucks and new roads were required. The war demonstrated how criticalhighways were to the defense effort. Thirteen per cent of defense plants received all their supplies by truck, and almost all other plants shipped more than half of their products by vehicle. The war also revealed that local control of highways had led to a confusing variety of design standards. Even federal and state highways did not follow basic standards. Some states allowed trucks up to 36,000 pounds, while others restricted anything over 7,000 pounds. A government study recommended a national highway system of 33,920 miles, and Congress soon passed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944, which called for strict, centrally controlled design criteria.The interstate highway system was finally launched in 1956 and has been hailed as one of the greatest public works projects of the century. To build its 44,000-mile web of highways, bridges, and tunnels, hundreds of unique engineering designs and solutions had to be worked out. Consider the many geographic features of the country: mountains, steep grades, wetland, rivers, deserts and plains. Variables included the slope of the land, the ability of the pavement to support the load, the intensity of road use, and the nature of the underlying soil. Urban areas wereanother problem. Innovative designs of roadways, tunnels, bridges, overpasses, and interchanges that could run through or bypass urban areas soon began to weave their way across the country, forever altering the face of America.Long-span, segmented-concrete, cable-stayed bridges such as Hale Boggs in Louisiana and the Sunshine Skyway inFlorida, and remarkable tunnels like Fort McHenry in Maryland and Mt. Baker in Washington, met many of the nation's physical challenges. Traffic control systems and methods of construction developed under the interstate program soon influenced highway construction around the world, and were invaluable in improving the condition of urban streetsand traffic patterns.Today, the interstate system links every major city in the U. S. , and the U. S. with Canada and Mexico. Built with safety in mind, the highways have wide lanes and shoulders, dividing medians or barriers, long entry and exit lanes, curves engineered for safe turns, and limited access. The death rate on highways is half that of all other U. S. roads(0.86 deaths per 100 million passenger miles compared to 1.99 deaths per 100 million on all other roads).By opening the North American continent, highways have enabled consumer goods and services to reach people in remote and rural areas of the country, spurred the growth of suburbs, and provided people with greater options in terms of jobs, access to cultural programs, health care, and other benefits. Above all, the interstate system provides individuals with what they cherish most: personal !~eedom of mobility.The interstate system has been an essent-iai element of the nation's economic growth in terms of shipping and job creation: more than 75 per cent of the nation's freight deliveries arrive by truck; and most products that arrive by rail or air use interstates for the last leg of the journey by vehicle. Not only has the highway system affected the American economy by providing shipping routes, it has led to the growth of spin-off industries like service stations, motels, restaurants, and shopping centers. It has allowed the relocation of manufacturing plants and other industries from urban areas to rural.By the end of the century there was an immense network of paved roads, residential streets, expressways, and freeways built to support millions of vehicles. The highway system was officially renamed for Eisenhower to honor his visi0n and leadership. The year construction began he said: "Together, the united forces of our communication and transportation systems are dynamie elements in the very name we bear---United States. Without them, we would be a mere alliance of many separate parts."注意：实考中，8-10题在答题卡1上1. National standards for paved roads were in place by 1921.2.

It is really extraordinary that after all these years, educators and education policymakers have still failed to devise anything more efficient and reliable than examinations to ensure students learn and can apply the material they are taught. For all the pious claims that examinations test what you know, it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of testing one’s memory, or the knack of using short-term memory under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a person's true ability and aptitudes.As a cause of anxiety, examinations are second to none, specifically because so much depends on them in many education systems. They are a mark of success or failure in our society. One’s entir e future may be decided in one fateful day with one fateful examination. The moment a child begins school, he enters a world of harsh competition where success and failure are clearly defined and measured. Can we wonder at the increasing number of drop-outs, and young people who are written off as utter failures before they have even begun a career? Can we be surprised at the suicide rate among young students?A good education should, among other things, train you how to think, and how to think for yourself. The examination system does anything but that. Required material is rigidly laid down by a syllabus, so the student is encouraged to memorize it and reproduce it without critically digesting it. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, but to restrict his readings; they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge, but induce cramming of a narrow set of material. The most successful students, and even the most successful job candidates, are not always the ones with the highest test scores; they are, rather, the best trained in being able to think critically and work under pressure. 2011Should private car owners be taxed for pollution?It was not until recently that the government was able to exact measures to cut carbon dioxide emissions, in which controlling the number of cars and advocating smaller vehicles have played an important role. Imposing a “pollution tax” on private cars, without doubt will have certain effect in pollution control, but only through a more refined and focused scheme can the policy have the power to realize the goal of significantly improving pollution issues.The first thing to consider is the volume of vehicles that belong to the government itself. If the government is going to call for citizens to use public transportation rather than personal vehicles, the “pollution tax” imposed on state-owned vehicles (which are almost all for the personal use of officials) should be more severe than that on private vehicles. Only as the government creates an image of reducing pollution by constraining its volume of vehicles to the necessary extent will the public begin to reduce their use of vehicles, and also focus on environmental protection.There is a further consideration: the tax should not only be levied against vehicles of certain sizes or engine types, simply because not everyone drives the same distances. In other words, the “pollution tax” would be enhanced through other taxes, like an “oil tax.” The introduction of a stronger combined tax portfolio could make tax payments more reasonable to the taxpayer when their individual interests are safeguarded.It is certain that a “pollution tax” could contribute to environmental protection efforts; however, the tax would not have a strong enough effect unless a more comprehensive scheme of policies is adopted.2010Should College Students Hire CleanersIt was recently reported that some college students hired a house cleaner to provide cleaning services for their dormitory room. These students attribute this behavior to limited time to do such cleaning themselves. They claim that it helps them to save time and stay more focused on their studies. In my opinion, such a chain of reasoning is seriously flawed, and they are just making excuses for their laziness. College students should not hire house cleaners to clean their dormitory rooms.First, it is not necessary for college students to hire a cleaner. As boarding school students living in tiny dorms, we don’t have much cleaning to do to begin with. All that is required is a basic tidying of the room, or possibly some light sweeping, which we all have learned to do from childhood. Undoubtedly, we can manage these tasks ourselves. In addition, cleaning such a small dorm room would not take much time. Conversely, it may help us to momentarily divert our attention away from studies and reduce some of our academic pressure. Hence, we don’t need to hire a cleaner to keep our dorms clean.A more important reason why university students should not hire a cleaner is that university education should incorporate both academic learning and opportunities for character-building. While attending a university we should try our best to be independent and self-reliant. Otherwise, we cannot shoulder the great responsibility we are expected to handle when we step into society after graduation. If we are still relying on cleaners for dorm sanitation, how can we seriously expect to earn a living in a future career? Consequently, the most basic thing we should do now is to take care of ourselves and prepare for those future careers instead of evading responsibility by hiring help.In summary, college students should learn to stand on their own two feet. Hiring a cleaner is definitely not a wise choice.2009年Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?In recent years, tourism has developed rapidly in China. Many people believe that tourism produces positive effects on a country’s economic growth and that we should try our best to promote more tourism for this reason. But what these people fail to see is that tourism has potential to negatively impact our environment. I am firmly convinced that this will be the case, due to severalfactors: one is the process of exploiting a new scenic spot, which requires the building of many artificial facilities in order to attract tourists. These facilities usually have certain unfavorable effects on the environment. This process usually harms the ecological balance of the area. In some less developed areas, many trees are being cut down to build hotels and facilities for tourists to see and explore the beauty of the mountains. This type of deforestation often results in landslides and mudflows. Another way in which the promotion of tourism has damaged the environment is caused by the tourists themselves. Some tourists ignorantly leave garbage and waste in the environment, and some others even kill local wildlife, all of which badly damages the balance of the natural environment. It is wrong to sacrifice the environment in the name of tourism. 2008年The Benefits of Service and VolunteeringService and volunteer work have recently become popular and even fashionable., with volunteers ranging from college students to white collar workers. It is reported that China now has 4.5 million registered volunteers having provided more than 4.5 billion hours of volunteer work. Why do so many people like to do volunteer work? Are there benefits to doing this type of service?The answer is absolutely yes. First of all, we can gain more experience through volunteering. Whatever service we do, whether it be as a volunteer teacher for a rural school or an assistant in a retirement home, we can understand and live different lifestyles and broaden our horizons.Second, we can feel the sense of being needed through volunteering. Many people feel frustrated with the travails of life and even feel empty because of the repeated cycle of work and rest. We may gradually become numb and lose the sense of being needed. By joining a volunteer group and offering service to people in need, we may feel happy and fulfilled again.Third, we can develop good qualities in ourselves through volunteering. Volunteer work can be teamwork, which requires the ability to cooperate. We can come to know people with different personalities and different backgrounds through working together on service projects. From our co-volunteers we can learn many good qualities that can help us be better people.In conclusion, volunteering can be of great benefit in that we can gain more experience, acquire a sense of being needed and develop more good personal qualities.2007年范文1 Is It Wise to Make Friends Online?Recently, the public has given a lot of attention to the debate about whether or not it is wise to make friends online. After taking all the favorable and unfavorable aspects into account, I am of the opinion that people can benefit from making friends online. This perspective, I believe, is shared by the majority of the public, a fact that can be explained by the following reasons.: first, communication is regarded as a basic and essential element in our society. Unfortunately, many people around us appear to be apathetic and have no idea how to become acquainted with a stranger. They may be too shy or nervous, or may even be afraid of being rejected by others. But we must remember that no man is an island unto himself, but that every man is a part of a continent, a part of the main. As a consequence, regardless whether you like it or not, we have to be part of the main. The internet, as a mass medium of indirect communication, provides us with a chance to reach out to others. Through the internet, those people who are scared to make friends can talk with others more naturally and confidently online.Second, it is well acknowledged that we can learn a lot from our e-pals. If our friends online are foreigners, we can practice English with him or her, and can have a glimpse of another country’s culture, traditions, and even the customs and geography. From what I have mentioned above, we can come to the conclusion that making friends online can do us some good. And whether we think it to be a good thing or not, online communication is having a great impact on our daily lives.范文2 Is it wise to make friends on the Internet?With the massive development of Internet over the past decades, never has communication been so easy. Online communication tools, such as MSN and QQ, make contact between people totally convenient. However, is it wise to make acquaintances with cyber friends throughout the globe when real identities are hidden? My answer is no.Admittedly, making friends online can bring us a great amount of joy and unimagined stimulation. Nevertheless, as we can only communicate with people though words or images, some people with ulterior motives may use the technology to take advantage of the naïve or ignorant. Just as the joke says, “atwenty-one year-old pretty girl may turn out to be an eighty year-old ugly drunk.”In addition, many people become addicted to these sometimes fictitious relationships, and lose the ability to surviving in a real-life environment. Online communication can never take the place of face-to-face conversation or in-person expressions. What is more, whom do you turn to when an emergency arises? Someone thousands of miles away that you even donot know, or your next door neighbors who smile at you every morning?In conclusion, when we try to make friends online it is necessary to be sensible and to take precautions to ensure our safety, especially meeting online friends in the real world. Only in this way can we enjoy the exciting experiences and extremely convenient interactions the internet can bring to us.2006年专四真题作文范文1 My Idea for Saving MoneyA recent survey, carried out by a Beijing-based information company, shows that two-thirds of today’s Chinese college students favor the idea of saving money for later use, whereas many others deem it better to use tomorrow’s money today. Personally, I side with the former.First, saving money can prevent anxiety in the case of accidents, disease or other mishaps. As we all know, when one faces tragedies like life-threatening disease or incapacitation, one also requires money to sustain through the hardship.Second, saving money can give one a sense of fulfillment. Since most people work hard every day, they are often quite happy and satisfied with the “achievement” of having accumulated a large deposit in the bank.Third, saving money allows one to have opportunities to serve and help other people in need. With money available at a critical moment, one can offer badly needed help to those in temporary financial distress. When those who are suffering from flood, famine, a car accident, or similar circumstances cannot sustain themselves, taking a loan from a bank is often too costly. Thus, timely help from a wise and sensible saver will be rewarded with gratitude. A dependable friendship will eventually be fostered, which can be more important than any amount of money.In sum, saving money does have many advantages. Indeed, it is an important aspect of living a virtuous Chinese life. Therefore, we should all start saving money today!范文2 Using Tomorrow’s Money for Today’s ComfortRecently an information company in Beijing compiled the results of a survey about student life. The survey included more than 700 students, and the results showed that sixty-seven percent of students think that saving money is a good habit, while the rest believed that using tomorrow’s money for t oday is better. Personally, I agree with the latter point of view.Most people may have heard the story about the old Chinese lady and the old American lady. The former spent all her life painstakingly saving enough money to buy a new apartment, and only lived in it for a very short time before she died, while the latter first borrowed money from the bank to buy a new apartment in her youth and lived in it comfortably, spending the rest of her life paying off the loan. In the story, the results are the same: they both bought new apartments, but their life experiences were radically different, the former hardly enjoying the comfort after a life of hard work, while the latter enjoyed living there for quite a long time because she “used tomorrow’s money today.” By comparison, we can clearly see that the latter’s choice of lifestyle was much better than the former’s. If this is so, then why don’t we use tomorrow’s money for today’s comfort?To conclude, I think using tomorrow’s money today is much better than a lways saving money.2005年专四真题作文MY IDEA FOR A UNIVERSITY ARTS FESTIV ALWith only four months to go before our university’s arts festival starts, my fellow students are getting increasingly enthusiastic in brainstorming new and unique ideas for the event. In my opinion, typical activities such as performances, forums and lectures on the arts should also be taken into consideration.The festival itself is an image-creating undertaking. Students should be attracted to participate in the festival in their first impressions of the activities, and so the opening ceremony is of vital importance. Fascinating performances, including pop music, ballet, and live musical performances, ought to be included in this part of the program. If possible, I would invite an orchestra to add life and excitement to the ceremony. But he festival should not end there; performances alone are too superficial. To help students gain a deeper appreciation of the arts, forums and lectures should be held. Forums can be held through BBS, owing to the wide accessibility to the Internet, whereas professors and experts can beinvited to give lectures concerning their respective specialties in the arts, and the role those arts play in their daily lives. However, prior to all the above, professional organization, detailed planning, and effective marketing and advertising are needed to ensure success.A university arts festival, in brief, must include both rich content and careful preparation. Only then can it be successful and allow everyone to enjoy themselves.2004年专四作文真题Letter Writing Will Not Be KilledNowadays, young people choose to call each other on the phone rather write letters. Still, I maintain that letter writing will never be killed off by phones, even though we have progressed fully into the Information Age.Firstly, letters can express your subtle feelings in ways that are difficult when engaging in fast conversation on the phone. With the increase pace of life in modern society, many have found there to be a lack of traditional communication. Because of the lack of communication, sometimes it’s too hard to express your deep feelings, even with people you know, trust, and love. Your throat literally seems to be blocked! In these situations, letters are a good choice. Without any embarrassment, you can just write down your deep feelings and emotions and love on a piece of paper. When you drop the letter into the mailbox, you will feel that what you have sent is not just a letter, but also your deepest emotions, all communicated clearly.Secondly, letters can be kept as records of memory, while phone conversations cannot. Just imagine how you would feel to open an old box of letters and read them years after they were sent and received; a lot of beautiful and indelible memories will be brought back to you. What an irreplaceable feeling that would be! I believe this feeling is something that you can definitely never experience through simple phone calls.All in all, letter writing will survive and may even thrive in the Information Age. Phones can never kill the practice, and neither can anything else.。

A good habit ---saving moneyA new survey about saving money among students showed that nearly 70% of students think it’s a good habit. While others hold the idea that using tomorrow’s money today is better. As for me, I think saving money is a good habit as it can benefit us a lot. So we should develop the habit.As we all know, saving money is a traditional habit that can make us out of trouble especially when we encounter to some emergency. Let’s say, when you are sick and need some money anxiously, if you have saved some then you can take them out to deal with the emergency. Besides, saving money can make one avoid some unnecessary expense. With the development of society, some luxury goods appear in our life some of which are just to joy ourselves. So if one has the sense of saving money, then he would try his best to avoid such unnecessary expense. Also, saving money is helpful to develop one’s sense of independence. For one who saves money surely has realized the importance of not always ask money from his parents and dealing with things by himself. Gradually, he would develop the habit of how to deal with his limited money even also make a plan. These is surely good to make him independent.All in all, I really hope we can herit the tradition of saving money which will benefit us a lot.Passage IINowadays, many students prefer to spend their money without planning while some prefer to save money. When it comes to me, I believe it is better to save a portion of the money for the future.By saving money, we can give ourselves more security. We cannot predict the future; perhaps we will be jobless one day. At that time like this, our saving can spare us a great deal of suffering and help to find a new job through the hard time. In addition, saving money allows us to build up a large sum. We can then buy something more worthwhile than the small things. But if we spend tomorrow’s money today, we may not be able to deal with the trouble or buy expensive products that we want in the future. What’s more, we practice of saving helps us develop the habit of setting goals and planning for our future. In this way, we are bound to lead more meaningful and successful lives.Though nobody likes to wait for the things that he wants, if we learn to save our money, we can gain more advantages in the future. We will lead more secure and, thus, happier lives. In a word, saving money is really a good thing for us to do!For reference1.Saving money is a good habit that will never be out of date no matter what progress the society has made. It has done much good to the development of history, of our country and of ourselves and will remain functioning in our life because of its good points.First, saving money does contribution to the country by way of reducing the waste of resources and energy, which corresponds to the call of “Building an economical society”. Our China has improved a lot since the open-up and reform policy took effect. However, the large population means we could not be too pride of that. Keeping in mind the importance of saving money, each family reduces the waste and so does the country. Second, it is good to ourselves, especially to the young people. The habit of saving money requires restraining of oneself, full-considering of all aspects and respecting of other people’s labor, which effects on us slowly, subtly and meaningfully.A person who restrains himself or herself, considers everything and respects others is likely to succeed.So I’m strongly for the habit of saving money. It is good for the future of our country, ourselves.2.Money is to our life what blood is our body. Nobody could live without money. According to a recent survey conducted by one authoritative information corporation, an estimated 67% of college students think saving money is a good habit. On the contrary, the rest are convinced that spending tomorrow’s money is better. As far as I am concerned, saving money best suits me and renders me the greatest enjoyment.Admittedly, spending tomorrow’s money, as advocated by many, has its active role to play in our economic life. It can spur people to make more money to enjoy life. And consumerism brought about by this trend can of course do a great deal to drive forward our economy. However, there are numerous merits for saving money. First thing first, saving money is a preparation for a secured life. The best way to secure a sage and sound life and be free from poverty, want and anxiety about future is, of course, in current situation, to have a certain amount of money in hand. In our daily life, various things unexpected and emergent may fall upon us. In these cases, if we have savings, we can manage to overcome these crises more easily. In addition, money dissipating and luxurious life can weaken us. By contrast, just as Albert Einstein put it, “a simple and unassuming life is good for everybody, physically and mentally.”In short, saving for the rainy day, a fine tradition of Chinese nationality, can provide us with the greatest security and the best satisfaction of life.3.Today, more and more youth accept a new attitude toward financial management, that is, using tomorrow’s money to pay for the expenses today. Compared the traditional habit of saving money, I prepare the former and think it is a good way to enjoy one’s life.In the past, without the popularization of loan system form the bank in China, people worked hard and saved money to buy a big house nearly at moment before their retirement. However, as it is known, when people stepped into their final stages, decease also came to them. The result was that they had been through hardships the whole life but had neither time nor energy to enjoy their lives when they had money. How tiresome and meaningless it is if one always thinks of working hard and saving money without appreciate the present life!On the other hand, if people use tomorrow’s money today, they will be under pressure to repay the debts. Thus they will be stimulated to work hard and earn more money. Therefore, they will always keep themselves in a vigorous state, at the same time enjoy their wonderful lives.To sum up what I said above, I think using tomorrow’s money today is a better way, especially in modern society. I also believe that with the development of society, more and more people will accept the opinion and benefit form the new mode of life.4.A recent survey, carried out by a Beijing-based information company, has shown that two thirds of the Chinese students today favor the idea of saving money for later use, whereas quite manyothers deem it much better to use tomorrow’s money today. Personally, I side with the former. Firstly, saving money can relieve one’s anxiety in case of accidents, disease or other mishaps. As we all know, when one faces such tragedies as fire damage or fatal diseases, one would need a large amount of money to survive such difficulties. Secondly, saving money can give one a sense of fulfillment. Since most people work hard every day, they will be quite happy and satisfied with his “achievement”when they find they have accumulated a large deposit in the bank. Thirdly, saving money allows one to give a helping hand to others. With money available at the moment, one can offer badly needed help to those in temporary difficulty, say, those who are suffering from flood, famine, a car accident, or things like that. Yet taking a loan from a bank is often too costly. Thus a timely help will be rewarded with gratitude. A dependable friendship will eventually be fostered.To sum up, saving money does have many advantages. Indeed, it is an important aspect of the Chinese conception virtue. Therefore, let’s start saving money from today on.5.A recent survey, carried out by a Beijing-based information company, has shown that two thirds of the Chinese students today favor the idea of saving money for later use, whereas quite many others deem it much better to use tomorrow’s money today.
