大学英语四级考试5套标准模拟答案解析 The Key to Model Test One Writing Part( ______. O参考范文 My Views on Group Purchasing In recent years,group purchasing becomes increasingly popular in our life. However, in my opinion, although it is cheaper and more convenient, we should be discreet when facing group purchasing. There are two main reasons why I say so. For one thing, you might lose more money on group purchasing because you will buy something you don't really need once you cannot resist the temptation of the low price. That will turn into another way of waste of money although you intended to save money.For another, the products of group purchasing are usually not of good quality as those sold at the market price. Just as the old saying goes, you get what you pay. Therefore, don't follow the group purchasing hastily until you carefully think what you really need and the quality of the goods. So please keep an eye on your wallet. Part Listening Comprehension 三 Section A News Report One (1)Millions of people across the eastern United States are clearing up after one of the biggest winter storms in decades. Government offices in Washington and many schools will be closed on Monday.From West Virginia to southern Maine, millions of people have been digging out after one of the worst winter storms ever recorded. Over 70 centimeters of snow fell in Washington.Officials hope to have the public transport system and the city's two main airports open again for the start of the working week.(2)New York is also recovering from its second largest snowfall. Travel restrictions have been lifted, although the public has been warned to make only essential journeys to help emergency vehicles with the clear-up. Medical centers say they are getting ready to respond to heart attacks and broken bones as residents shovel snow away from their pathways. 1. What is the news report mainly about? C) 2. Which city suffers from its second largest snow? D) News Report Two (3)The founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg has announced the birth of his first child,a girl called Max,and he has vowed to donate most of his fortune to make the world a better place for her to grow up in. Our Los Angeles correspondent David Lee looks at who might be the recipients of his fortune. "They are going to direct into education, and into equality. We don't know precisely where that money is gonna go initially.(4)What is particularly interesting is that he seems to be separating this effort from Facebook,Some of his previous initiatives have been about connecting the Internet and improving perhaps Facebook's user base. There seems to be a very clear gap here between Mark Zuckerberg's personal desire to spend money on these things and what Facebook, the business, will be doing in charitable ways." 3. What decision has Zuckerberg made after the baby's birth? A) 4. What is particularly interesting about Zuckerberg? C) News Report Three This summer, the latest version of Google's self-driving car will make its first appearance on public roads. The 四级 11two-seat vehicle does not need a gas pedal or steering wheel.(5)The prototype can drive,brake and recognize road dangers without human involvement. Google says the car is the first vehicle built for the purpose of self-driving. However, the new vehicle is not designed for long trips.(6)It does not have air bags or other safety devices required by the federal government. It cannot go more than 40 kilometers per hour. The vehicle is electric and has to be recharged after 130 kilometers. And it can only drive in areas that have been thoroughly mapped by Google. Google will first build and test 25 driverless vehicles in areas around the company's headquarters in Mountain View,California.(7)Then, the company plans to build more and expand testing to areas that have more hills and more rain. Google hopes to have its driverless cars available in the next five years. 5. What could the new vehicle do? B) 6. What is the disadvantage of the new vehicle? D) 7. What does Google plan to do? C) Section B .Conversation One W: Hi,Sid,(8)I loved your concert last night! How are you? M:I'm a little bit tired. We didn't go to bed until five o'clock in the morning. And I injured my ankle before the show. I slept all morning. How did you like the show? W:I loved it.(8)Your singing was great. When are you playing next? M:We have our next show here in New York at the Roxie Theater this Thursday. W: I would love to go, but(10)I have to stay and work here at the store. M: Well, maybe you can see us next week when we play in Washington. W:Yeah, maybe.(11)But I'm planning to go to San Francisco on vacation in April,so I may not be able to travel to Washington. M:Really?(11)We were invited to play at the Rock Music Festival in San Francisco in April,(9)but we don't have a way of getting there. It's a long way from New York. W:Well,(9)a friend and I are driving across the country in a big van,and we might have room for you and your band. M:(9)That would be great! Let me talk to the band members and I'll call you later this week. W:OK.I'm looking forward to hearing from you.(10)Do you need help looking for any records in the store today? M: Yeah,I was looking for an album of John Coltrane. Do you have any in stock? W: No, I'm afraid not. But we can order one for you. M: Oh, thanks a lot. I'll give you a call later this week. W: Good,see you later. 8. What did the man do last night? C) 9. How will the man probably go to San Francisco? C) 10. Where is the woman working? C) 11. What can we learn about the man from the conversation? D) .Conversation Two M:I've been waiting here in the conference room for ten minutes already. What time does our meeting start? Where is everyone anyway? W:Didn't you hear about that? Our meeting was postponed until Friday. M: What?(12)The meeting was postponed? No one told me anything about it. W:(12)Didn't you get the memo? M:(12)What memo? There haven't been any memos this whole week.I check my inbox every day,and Ihaven't seen anything. W:The memo went out three days ago. It should have made it into your inbox, but maybe it got lost in all the mess on your desk. M: You know how things get piled up on my desk when I am busy.(14)I know that sometimes I do misplace things. but I always read all the memos that go around. They go directly to my inbox.Are you sure it was sent to the whole office? 四级1—2W:It should have gone around to everybody.(13)They also posted a copy of the memo on the break room. Don't you ever look at the messages posted on the bulletin board? M:(13)Iam usually too busy to take a bunch of coffee breaks.Anyway,I am sure the memo never got to my inbox. (15)Ill have to talk to my secretary about it. W: That's right. You never know what you're missing out if you don't read the memos. M: Yeah, you are right. 12. Why didn't the man know the meeting was postponed? C) 13. Why didn't the man see the copy memo? B) 14. What can we infer about the man? B) 15. What will the man probably do next? A) SectionC .Passage One (16)Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end—with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window.Your sleep is equal to turning the television off. The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you've traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed—new houses,new buildings,sometimes even a new road.The bus driver has a style of driving and it is fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story.(17)Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you've got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops. The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there's a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you've sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests—even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit. 16. Why does the speaker feel long bus rides are like TV shows? B) 17. How do we spend the middle hours of the ride according to the passage? C) 18. What is the purpose of this passage? A) .Passage Two "Family"is of course a flexible word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of"family"in its narrow, particularly European sense of mother,father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus,every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one's parents and starting one's own life. (19)The man's first duty will then be to his wife. He will be entirely responsible for his wife's financial support while the wife for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. (20)Neither the wife's parents nor the husband's parents, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they decide everything in a family. (21)Readers of novels like Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was arranged by the girl's parents—that is, it was the parents'duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter,preferably a rich one, and lead him eventually to marry their daughter.It is very different today.(22)Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has two results.A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no money from her parents when she gets married. 19. What is the husband's first duty for an English family? A) 20. Who decides everything in an English family? B) 21. What can we know from the book Pride and Prejudice about wealthy families in former times? A) 22. What is the difference between present girls and former girls according to the passage? C) Passage Three (23)Over time animals have developed many ways to stay away from predators(捕食性动物).A predator is an animal that kills and eats other animals. Hiding is one of the best ways to stay alive. Some animals hide by looking like 四级1—3the places where they live. To see how this works, let's look at the sea dragon. It is a master of disguise.(24)The sea dragon is covered with skin that looks like leaves. The skin helps the dragon look like a piece of seaweed. A hungry meat-eater would stay away from anything that looks like seaweed.Other animals stay safe by showing their colors. They want other animals to see them. Scientists call these bright colors warning colors. You have probably seen animals that have warning colors. Some grasshoppers(蝗虫)show off their own bright colors. Those colors don't just look attractive. They tell the enemies to stay away.Of course, hungry predators sometimes ignore the warning. They still go after the grasshopper. If that happens,the grasshopper has a backup defense.It makes lots of foam. The foam tastes so bad that the predator won't do it again.Color doesn't offer enough protection for some other animals. They have different defenses that help them survive in the wild.(25)Many fish live in groups. That's because there is safety in numbers. At the first sign of trouble, schooling fish swim as close together as they can get. Then the school of fish makes lots of twists and turns. All that movement makes it hard for predators to see individuals in a large group. 23. What is the speaker mainly talking about? C) 24. What protects the sea dragon from a meat-eater's attack? B) 25. According to the passage, why do many fish stay in groups? A) Parte( Reading Comprehension Section A ◎选项归类 名 词∶ A)account(描述;账户) D)indicators(指标) K)security((安全;保护) 动 词∶A)account(for)(占;说明) C) calculate(计算,核算) E)injured(使受伤) F) integrate(使结合)

无论该项研究的整体结果令人多么沮丧,都没有反驳的理由,但增加一占.儿该地.区的历 中背景或许能让人们更好 地解释这些结果。有必要指出的是,任何一位学习南方历史的学生对该研究的结果都不会感到惊讶。 南方长期以来都 是公众健康的重灾区,在涉及死亡和各种健康风险指标的数据排行榜上,该地区的人口在一个半世纪以来都位居榜首。 在这些方面,该地区受到质疑的排名与财富、贫穷、教育成就以及其他社会经济指标紧密相关。 在过去的一百五十年里,该地区中等的收入水平、严重的贫穷状况以及不佳的公众健康状态以各种方式表现出来, 其中就包括在美西战争、第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战中的高退兵率。这几次事件中被退兵的最大原因都和体重 有关。 Section B 危于解,牛

Domestic and foreign researches have reached a consensus that swimming originated from ancient people who lived near rivers, lakes and the seashore. They had to hunt waterfowl and fish as food in the water for survival. Thus,through observing and imitating the movement of fish and frogs in the water, they gradually learnt how to swim. In all ages, swimming is a critical survival skill no matter whether it is for hunting, escaping from wild animals, or self-rescue in shipwreck. 四级1-8______ The Key to Model Test Two Writing Part(. 参考范文 My Views on Cosmetic Surgery Cosmetic surgery has become a controversial issue in recent years as more and more people, especally celebrities, choose to take it. However,I don't think it's a good idea to beautify oneself via operations. First and foremost, cosmetic surgery brings about artificial beauty that confuses many young people about the true value of beauty so that quite a few of them focus much on their appearance instead of virtues or personalities. Besides, once cosmetic surgery is widely accepted by the public, it is unfair to those who have the plain look but work hard for their dreams. Finally,despite the advances of technology, there are still many risks in cosmetic surgery. As a result,I don't support young people to take advantage of cosmetic surgery although it might bring about benefits for the time being. The true beauty which is worth our respect should be connected with inner heart and appropriate bchavior.

The trial took more than a third of the city's three million private cars off the road, easing congestion. However, it is not clear whether it has helped to bring down pollution. Delhi has experienced hazardous levels of pollution this winter. The local government announced the scheme after a court ordered authorities to tackle pollution levels which stood at more than 10 times the World Health Organization's safe limits. Authorities said the trial had resulted in a more than 50?op in air pollution primarily caused by vehicular traffic. Emergency vehicles like ambulances,police cars,fire engines and taxis were exempt from the campaign,and single women were also allowed to drive their cars every day. The government hired private buses to provide shuttle services.(7)Schools were shut during the trial so their buses could also be used as public transport. 5. What is Delhi try doing recently?

Passage One Here's a parable of two young children and a white-bearded wise man that lived alone in the mountains. (16)The man was highly respected by the local residents; however, the two young children just shrugged it off. One day, (17)the kids, intending to test this man,decided to play a joke on him to see his so-called wisdom. This was their marvelous plan. They would catch a small bird,put their hands behind their back and ask the man if the bird was dead or alive. If the wise man says the bird is alive, they will crush it. If the wise man says it is dead, they can let it live. So having captured the bird they went to the mountains to find the wise man. When they finally came across him, one of the youngsters laughed and asked,"Hi, wise man,can you tell us whether the bird I am holding in my hands is dead or alive?"(18)To their surprise, the wise man just smiled and responded,"Young boys, the future of the bird is in your hands."There are many extremely smart people around that can grasp many issues at once. Perhaps the guy sitting next to you always mentions something that you didn't think about or something that at the last minute made you change your mind about the resolution of a case under discussion.(19)So be ethical, be respectful, be smart and it is your opportunity to really make a difference in the world. 16.

A) 。Passage Two With its fast food restaurants, churches and strip malls, this city in southeast Florida looks like much of America. But on a sunny day last month,(20)city official Hector Castro talked about its resemblance to Italy's slowly sinking Venice."At some point in the future,some places may be uninhabitable,"said Castro. "Maybe people could live in the top part of buildings. But what do you do about the roads?"These predictions about an underwater city may sound horrible,(21)but officials here say they are already changing infrastructure with climate change in mind. Recent storms hit the 4.4-square-mile city to such a degree that some homes were abandoned for the first time.It was the kind of heavy rainfall that could become more frequent with climate change, even though scientists say no weather event can be tied to warming temperatures. Simultaneously.(22)the city's freshwater supply is being contaminated by saltwater intrusion—a problem that was not created by climate change,but that is likely being accelerated by it. So city officials are spending some $16 million to move the city's entire drinking supply to the west to get out of the way of the ocean. It is a temporary fix for a problem that is projected to get worse as time goes on.There may be limits on how much to protect the city from flooding and saltwater intrusion with existing technologies. No one knows how long serious trouble will come—it could be 30 years or so,or it could be later. 20. In what aspect does the city in Florida resemble Venice in Italy? A) 21. How do the local governments react to the city's sinking? D) 22. What does the speaker say about the city's freshwater supply? D) 四级 2——3。Passage Three Crazed doggy parents will eagerly tell you that their dogs are able to understand and communicate, and are surely capable of basic levels of human cognition.(23)It turns out that these doggy parents may not be so crazy after all. (24)Dogs, like human babies, read our facial expressions. They don't just rely on verbal cues to ascertain what humans want. They also use eye contact to anticipate our desires. In a recent study, the dogs were shown a video of a woman who would call them, stare straight at them to get their attention,and then look down at an object beside her. Then the dogs were shown a second video in which the woman would silently turn her head and stare at the object without ever making direct eye contact. In most cases, the dogs followed the woman's gaze in the first video. In the second video, in which she made no direct eye contact, the dogs didn't follow her gaze. Similar experiments have been conducted with babies, and 6-month-old infants exhibited the same behavior as the dogs.(25)Experts think it's a trait that the animals developed as they worked and bonded with generations of humans. Dogs have evolved to sharing their lives with humans,and they gained new skills that support their social interaction with humans.This should reinforce that if we want our dogs'attention, we should be clear about it. For those people who talk to their dog in a baby-talk voice, they should keep it up. 23. What does the speaker say about crazed doggy parents? C) 24. What do we learn from the study? B) 25. How do dogs learn to interact with humans according to some experts?

Different from other sport events,the competitiveness of mountaineering lies not in the competition and combat among athletes but the athletes'contending against nature, which is a symbol of human vitality. It is of many benefits for people to participate in mountain climbing and camping frequently,such as the consumption of superfluous fat in the body and the delay of human body aging. 四级2-8___________ The Key to Model Test Three Part Writing _. )参考范文 The Importance of Independence of Mind There is a saying that goes,"Create your own life."What this concise aphorism tries to convey is that we should live according to our own will rather than live as what others expect us. In other words,i_n_de_pe_n_de_n_ce of mind is needed to live happily. For one thing, with independence of mind, you could clearly know who you are and what you really need, so that you won't compare unrealistically with others who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth. That's where true happiness and contentment derives from. For another, independence of mind could detach you from the complex world and give you the power to face criticism and gossip from other people.Thus, you won't lose yourself in the mess of life. To conclude,the quality of life isn't dependent on what we have been given but what mindset we bear. As long as we work hard and enjoy what we have possessed, we will create out own life. Part( Listening Comprehension SectionA .News Report One (1)There were 6 million cyber-attacks recorded last year in Kenya. That is more than double the number recorded in 2013. Most of the attacks involved financial crimes or targeted information infrastructure like computer systems. The targets were Kenyan government agencies,other groups and private citizens. Many computer users wonder what they should be doing to guard against possible online attacks. Felix Ngugi is a 22-year-old information technology student.He is taking a two-year-long class. The course helps students learn how to secure information stored on computers. It tells them about computer hacking and tests their anti-hacking proficiency.(2)"Why we are learning this is to be able to secure the people who are innocently being attacked by people who know computers and to protect their data and information from getting out to the open." 1.

A) Section C 。Passage One (16)Technology can bring lasting change to society, and one change it brought in the 19th century was the widespread use of color in art and commerce. A printing process began in Germany and then spread to America, where brightly-colored printing transformed popular culture. An exhibition called The Color Explosion at the Huntington Library illustrates the changes. The 19th century is often remembered through stiffly posed, black and white photographs of people dressed in shades of gray. Much of the century, however, was excess in color,especially in America,where brightly-colored prints found a place on boxes, cans as well as calendars and posters. David Smith, curator of the Huntington exhibition,(17)says the mass production of color was enabled by a groundbreaking process called lithography."It had a tremendous visual impact on people who, up to this time, really had not seen much color before.(17)So lithography,one of its major impacts, was to colorize America and bring color to every community and every home,affordable." Lithographic artists used grease crayons to sketch images on a block of limestone. The printer applied water and ink, and the ink adhered to the greasy image. The stone block was then used to mass- produce printed copies. Black and white lithography was invented in Germany in the 1790s,(18)and it spread to France and England, and then made its way to America with German immigrants. Smith says that after a few decades, printers started using colored ink,as the process expanded from city to city in the country's westward expansion. 16. What change did technology bring in the 19th century? C) 17. What's the great impact of lithography? A) 18. How did black and white lithography appear in America? C) .Passage Two (19)The reason people count sheep, as opposed to bluebirds or sailboats,is uncertain; some authorities think it may have to do with a tallying system devised by shepherds in ancient Britain. But there is no question that the phrase has entered the language.And its meaning is clear enough—the sheer monotony(单调)of the task is meant to lull you to sleep. But does it work? Scientists at Oxford University put it to the test. In their study, which appeared in the journal of Behavior Research and Therapy,two sleep researchers recruited insomniacs and split them into groups. Then they monitored them as they tried different techniques for falling asleep on various nights.(20)What they found was that subjects took slightly longer to fall asleep on nights when they were instructed to distract themselves by counting sheep or were given no instructions at all. But when they were told to imagine a relaxing scene—a beach,for example—they fell asleep an average of 20 minutes sooner than they did on other nights. Counting sheep, the scientists suggested, may simply be too boring to do for very long, while images of a soothing shoreline or tranquil stream are engrossing enough to concentrate on,In other studies at Oxford,scientists compared"good"sleepers with insomniacs and found distinct differences in their pre-sleep thoughts. Insomniacs pictured less scenery of any kind and had more thoughts of unpleasant images, worries, noises in the environment,"intimate relationships"and things they had done during the day.(21)So don't count sheep; instead, try picturing relaxing images. 19. Why has the phrase "count sheep" come into shape? D) 20. What does the test carried out by scientists at Oxford University show? C) 21. What does the speaker suggest to those who have difficulty falling asleep? D) 四级3—3Passage Three (22)Australia has experienced its warmest August on record,as winter temperatures soared. Australia's Bureau of Meteorology says that August was a"most extraordinary month"with mean temperatures almost 2.5 degrees above the long-term average. August in Australia culminated in a record-breaking heatwave across much of the continent.Blair Trewin from the National Climate Center says the past month brought unprecedented weather."Early last week we saw a number of locations in northern New South Wales and southern Queensland break their August record-high temperatures by four or five degrees,"Trewin said."And to break records by that sort of margin is something which is extremely rare."(23)Scientists think that such unseasonal temperatures are the result of both global warming and natural climate variability. There are warnings that spring in this part of the southern hemisphere is likely to bring more hot weather, causing a long drought.Parts of Australia have seen below-average rainfall for several years and the outlook for many parched communities is not good. (24)Australia is a major food exporter,and if the drought dramatically cuts yields, that could cause global prices for grain,meat and other foods to rise.(25)The warm, dry conditions have prompted the authorities to warn that Australia's annual bushfire season is again likely to be severe.

Skating not only can strengthen the body's balance ability and flexibility, but also can enhance the function of heart and lung. It has a pretty good effect on weight loss too. For adolescents,skating helps build the cerebellums. When running around freely on the ice, you can gain both a relaxed mood and the fun of integrating into nature. 四级3—8_____ _____ The Key to Model Test Four Part Writing )参考范文 On the Independence of Young People In the picture, the son asks his father to save money not only for his education but also for his retirement. Despite a bit of exaggeration, the picture is a vivid description of a widespread phenomenon that nowadays many young people tend to rely on their parents for their life and career,particularly for the financial support. However,I strongly suggest that young people stand on their own two feet. Self-reliance is a basic living skill for a person to survive. Although it seems to be reasonable to depend on parents in such an intensely competitive society,young people cannot count on their parents forever. The sooner they start to support themselves, the more social experience they can gain,and the greater success they will achieve. Besides, just as the old saying goes, giving is much better than receiving. It is time for young people to shoulder their own responsibilities to support their families and to return their parents'love. In summary, young people should learn to do everything by themselves rather than count on their parents. The only way to success is to hold future in one's own hands.

Recently, researchers studied more than 55 000 adults. About one-fourth of the adults reported they ran regularly. The study found these runners were considerably less likely than non-runners to die of any form of disease. including heart disease.(4)In fact, the runners lived, on average,three years longer than the non-runners.

First, consider the cost of human life.(5)The World Health Organization says about 10 people die of a tobacco-linked disease every minute. That rate adds up to almost six million people dying from such diseases every year. (6)For most people,stopping smoking is hard. Many began smoking as teenagers. They are used to it. Studies show people who want to stop smoking can do so with different treatments. Other experts and former smokers offer even more effective advice:If you are considering starting smoking, don't. Smoking costs more than the life of an individual. It can affect the health of an entire country.(7)The World Health Organization says low-income countries depend heavily on taxes from cigarettes. They use the money, in part, to pay the costs of health care for tobacco-related diseases. But the illegal trade in tobacco products is further testing the economies of low-income countries. 5.

W: OK, well, what kind of place is your town where you grew up? M:It's actually a very nice and prosperous town. People often travel out from Brentwood into London and they work in the city, because it's a pleasant place to live in. W: Oh, it sounds nice. Well, now if you live in a little town near London,will it be really expensive? M:Yes, because it's a desirable place to live in Brentwood and(10)the closeness to London also makes the housing quite expensive. W: Oh, really.

A) Section C Passage One (16)It is what failed dieters have long suspected: Fat people really can't keep the weight off. Scientists have confirmed that the majority of overweight people who try to lose weight either by cutting calories or exercising will return to their former size.Fewer than 10 percent of the 12 million Britons who go on a diet each year succeed in losing significant amounts of weight and most of those who do put it all back on again within a vear.The scientists, from the Medical Research Council's National Survey of Health and Development,followed 5 362 men and women from their birth in 1946 and 20 000 from birth in 1958, measuring their weight and blood pressure and assessing their lifestyles. They found both groups began gaining weight in the 1980s and had steadily increased in size ever since. Dr. Rebecca Hardy,the council's program leader on body size,(17)said,"Once people become overweight, they continue relentlessly upwards. They hardly ever go back down. It is better to avoid getting fat in the first place. For men,weight goes up steadily through life.For women,it starts slowly and accelerates in the mid-thirties."Experts have suggested evolution means we are programmed to put on weight rather than lose it.(18)Dieting can make this tendency worse as decreasing calorie intake triggers the body to go into starvation mode and reduce the amount of energy it naturally expends,making it even harder to lose weight.But the study's findings do not mean dieting is pointless, so eating less and taking more exercise can increase fitness and lower blood pressure. 16. What have the failed dieters suspected? C) 17. What do scientists find after the long-time observation? D) 18. What role does dieting play in losing weight according to the passage? A) 。Passage Two A common challenge for many teachers is keeping their students focused in class. After all, many children can become distracted,bored or confused in a classroom setting,or abandon their concentration on a lesson plan.There are various ways teachers can encourage their students to stay focused and make learning more interesting. Based on a lack of students'focus, teachers are sometimes given the impression that their lesson plan is not motivating or interesting to their students. (19)However, the problem might simply be that the students need change and movement. It often helps for teachers to alternate quiet activities in class with more active and exciting lessons. Something changing the pace of your lessons and activities can make all the difference in helping your students stay focused,and ultimately enjoy the lesson you've prepared for them. Children tend to remain more focused when interactive teaching tools are involved. For instance,(20)an interactive whiteboard in the classroom can help children feel included, and thus stay more focused. What's more, it's an effective teaching tool, helping instructors enhance lesson plans and students'learning. So remember, the slightest change in how vou deliver vour lesson plans can make a world of difference when it comes to keeping your students focused. Above all,(21)to reach the best effect in class, the first thing for teachers is to know the students'ability to maintain attention—for instance,based on their age group—and enhance lessons accordingly for optimal focus and fun in the classroom. 四级4—319. What should teachers do to make students enjoy the class? C) 20. What is the function of the whiteboard in the class? A) 21. What should teachers know first to have the best effect in class? C) 。Passage Three (22)A few degrees can make a big difference when it comes to food storage. Food can go bad if they get too warm. But for many of the world's poor,finding a good way to keep food cool is difficult.Refrigerators are costly and they need electricity.(23)Yet spoiled food not only creates health risks but also economic losses. Farmers lose money when they have to throw away products that they cannot sell quickly. But in 1995, a teacher in northern Nigeria named Mohammed Bah Abba found a solution. He developed the"Pot-in-Pot Preservation"or "Cooling System."It uses two round containers made of clay(黏土).A smaller pot is placed inside a larger one. The space between the two pots is filled with wet sand. The inner pot can be filled with fruit, vegetables or drinks. A wet cloth covers the whole cooling system.(24)Food in the smaller pot is kept from spoiling through a simple evaporation process. Water in the sand between the two pots evaporates through the surface of the larger pot,where drier outside air is moving.The evaporation process creates a drop in temperature of several degrees.This cools the inner pot and helps keep food safe from harmful bacteria. The invention became popular with farmers in other African countries. (25)Mohammed Bah Abba personally financed the first 5 000 pot-in-pot svstems for his own community and five villages nearby.In 2000,the Rolex Watch Company of Switzerland honored him with the Rolex Award for Enterprise. This award recognizes people trying to develop projects aimed at improving human knowledge and wel-being. 22. What is an important factor in food storage? D) 23. Why does the speaker say spoiled food can create economic losses? B) 24. How does the pot-in-pot system work? B) 25. What can we learn about Mohammed Bah Abba?

More than 2 000 years ago, there emerged in China Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius, and Taoism represented by Laozi and Zhuangzi as well as many other theories and schools that figured prominently in the history of Chinese thought. This is the famous"The Hundred Schools of Thought".From Confucius to Sun Yat-sen,the traditional culture of Chinese nation presents many precious ideas and qualities, which are essentially populist and democratic. For example, they lay stress on the kindness and love, on the community, and on the world that belongs to all. 四级4-—8______ ___ The Key to Model Test Five Part Writing 参考范文 Too Many Burdens to Bear As is illustrated in the picture, the newborn baby is expected to learn to walk, speak and read at 12 months old, an age when babies can barely make meaningful utterances. This picture vividly shows that fierce competition in modern time is imposing heavier and heavier burdens on children, who are now deprived of the right to enjoy a carefree childhood. It is not difficult to observe the heavy pressures imposed on children nowadays. The time has come to change our philosophy of education.On the one hand, too many pressures are likely to twist children's mental health, which is definitely detrimental to their long-term development. On the other hand,readiness to learn should be prioritized over other factors in that interest is the most potent driving force to learn. One is more likely to succeed when he is motivated than when he is forced to learn. It is true that children should start learning at an early age to keep pace with their peers. Nonetheless, they should not bear excessive pressures, which will hinder their growth. Parte ⅢListening Comprehension Section A 。News Report One Architects, engineers and building supervisors will soon be able to quickly collect information that once took weeks to measure and process. (1)Scientists have developed a device to gather information about building interiors— the design and exact measurements of a building. The device requires only one pass through a building to create a three-dimensional model of the structure. In other words, the model shows an object's height,width and depth. The device is also able to collect other valuable information related to the building's energy usage.(2)The first thing you need to know is the exact shape of all rooms in the building. You have to consider the size and position of heating and cooling equipment,windows and doors. Another consideration is the placement of electrical outlets—the areas where electrically-operated equipment can be connected to the power supply. 1. What is the news report mainly about? B) 2.What is the first thing you should know? A) .News Report Two It is not a secret that spending time outdoors is good for our health. The more we learn about the benefits of being in nature, the more sense it makes to get outside.This could be especially important for school children.(3)New research suggests that kids may learn better when they are surrounded by greener spaces.Green spaces are spaces filled with vegetation—like trees,flowers and other plants. But these days,outdoor time is competing for a child's attention with indoor activities.Children may find it difficult to resist computers,television and electronic games. In many parts of the world, children are spending less and less time outdoors.(4)All these indoor activities can hurt a child's physical and mental health. But can it affect how well they do in school? Researchers are trying to answer that question. 四级5—13. What does the new research suggest? C) 4. What does the news item say about those indoor activities? C) .News Report Three (5)While flying high above the Earth's surface, jet fighter pilots may suffer loss of eyesight for brief periods. Some pilots may even lose consciousness—not being able to recognize what is happening around them. These experiences.commonly called "blackouts," can lead to tragic results. Researchers say two different situations can lead to a pilot's loss of consciousness.One is"G-LOC" or G-force induced loss of consciousness, and the other one is hypoxia,which is lack of oxygen to the brain.(6)"G-LOC" happens when the airplane is making a sharp turn or speeding up very quickly. During these periods, centrifugal force reduces the normal flow of blood to the pilot's brain. At high speed, loss of control of the aircraft has proved deadly for many pilots.(7)Hypoxia,or lack of oxygen, can affect anyone at extreme heights. That is why passenger planes are equipped with oxygen masks.Passengers are always told before flving to put on the masks in case of a sudden loss of air pressure. 5. What is the news report mainly about? D) 6. When does "G-LOC" usually happen? B) 7. Why are passenger planes equipped with oxygen masks? D) Section B Conversation One W: Do you think families have changed much in the last 50 years? M: I think families everywhere have changed a lot in the last five decades. W: What do you think is the biggest change? M:(8)Well,in the past,three or four generations would live together under the same roof. Nowadays,relatives living in the same city have become rare. W: That's true. You know, some husbands and wives don't even live in the same city any more. M: Would you ever consider having your parents live with you when they get older? W:(9)I guess I'm a bit old-fashioned. I'd rather have my parents live with me than live in a retirement home. M:(10)That's very respectable, but I could never live with my parents. I usually only see them at our Christmas celebration and that's enough! W: How about your other siblings? Do they spend a lot of time with your parents? M: Two of my sisters still live at home, even though they have already graduated from university and had jobs. (10)They enjoy spending their free time with my parents. I guess in that respect,I'm the black sheep of the family. W: I see. Do your parents ever ask you to come home to visit them more often? M:(11)They're always asking me to come home,but I think our relationship is better if we keep a distance from each other. Whenever we see each other, all we do is fight. W: Well, you know what they say,"You can choose your friends, but not your family." 8. What does the man think is the biggest change for families?

D) 。Conversation Two W:(12)How is your house hunting going? M: Not very well. I haven't found anything within my price range yet. W: How much do you want to spend? M:I can only afford about E 300 a month. W:(14)Looks like you're not going to get more than a bedroom in a shared flat with that. M: Really? That's a lot of money to pay for one room.Do you know anyone who needs a roommate? W:Well, if you want to live in London, you have to pay the price! I can ask around at work. Do you have a preference for smokers or non-smokers? 四级5—2M:(13)I'd prefer non-smoking roommates, but I guess I'll have to take what I can get! W: How long do you want to sign a contract for? M: I can sign a contract up to a year. I don't know where I'll be after that. W:Do you need a furnished or unfurnished apartment? M:(14)I don't have any furniture,so it would be great if it were furnished. W: You know that you'll have to pay utilities on top of the rent,right? M: No, I thought that would be included in the rent. W:It's not usually included, so you'll have to factor in about f 100 more each month for utilities. M:I don't think I can afford that. W:Don't worry.(15)Sometimes people will give you a discount if you promise to do the cleaning or take care of the lawn. M: That's a good idea. I'll look into finding something like that. 12.

A) Section C Passage One Passion fruit is the edible fruit of the passionflower.(16)Spanish explorers coined the name passion fruit in honor of the passion of Christ. For them, the appearance of the passionflower symbolized many Christian beliefs. Passion fruit grows on a vine in its native tropical and subtropical regions.(17)Commercially, it's grown in Brazil, the Caribbean,Australia,Africa and some areas of the southern United States. Because of its beautiful flower and the high demand for the fruit, passion fruit is successfully cultivated in native as well as non-native areas. (18)There are two types of passion fruit: purple passion fruit and yellow passion fruit. They are different in appearance but taste the same. The former one is about the size of a large egg, oval shaped with a purple-brown skin.(18)The latter one is a bit larger, round and about the size of an orange. This type is bright yellow on the outside. Both contain a jelly-like pulp inside with hundreds of small black seeds. Passion fruit is popular in gourmet cooking. It is used in many desserts, such as passion fruit mango mousse and passion fruit brulee. Some jams are made of passion fruit. Passion fruit is also used in main dishes, such as lobster with passion fruit butter sauce. Juice,punch, liqueurs and cocktails have a tropical flair when made with it. 16. Why do Spanish people call the fruit passion fruit? C) 17. Which of the following is the growth place of passion fruit? B) 18. What do we know about the yellow passion fruit? D) Passage Two I had spent my last day in London visiting friends, taking pictures, and doing some shopping. I had bought some presents: a shirt for my brother,a book for my sister,(19)and a clock for my father.After travelling in a crowded bus and waiting in the noisy airport building, I was glad to be sitting on the plane at last. In a few minutes, we would be asked to fasten our seat belts and to stop smoking, and then we would soon be up in the sky on our flight to Berlin. But I was mistaken. (20)Ten minutes later, instead of enjoying the beauty of the evening sky from high above the clouds,I was forced to sit in a smoke-filled room with an airline official and a police officer at my side. On the table in front of me was one of my suitcases. The officials were very polite. They asked me to show them my passport, my ticket, and my baggage check. Then I was requested to open the suitcase and to spread out its contents on the table. I did as I was told.The moment I placed the alarm clock on the table, the two officials looked at each other and smiled. (21)Hcaring the clock ticking away merrily,I suddenly understood.

B) 四级 5-—3,Passage Three (22)Sports have unwritten rules,so does business—and violators are often punished just as swiftly. Here are some of them. First of all,(23)never dress above your position.Everybody knows that dressing for succss is important. It's also the surest way to draw the not-so-friendly fire of colleagues. Dress slightly "better"if you want—but just slightly.Otherwise you'll be perceived as a shameless climber. The only time this doesn't apply is if you run your own business, but even then you should dress in a way that enhances your image while ensuring customers feel comfortable. Besides, never embarrass a peer in a meeting. (24)A colleague proposes an idea. It stinks. Not your job to say so, though. If you're a supervisor and another supervisor makes a terrible suggestion that doesn't affect your area or your employees,sit tight.(24)Let somcone else, preferably someone above you, shoot it down. Then jump in if you can to modify the idea so it is more workable,giving credit to the other supervisor for raising an important issue,of course. Bad ideas come and go, but professional relationships should be forever. Furthermore, never"borrow"someone's idea. Business owner,CEO, supervisor,entry-level employee...It doesn't matter.(25)Always give credit where credit is due. Steal an idea,and the victim never forgets. And don't fall back on the old,"Well, they work for me,and we're a team...so I was just raising the idea on behalf of the team."No one goes for that excuse but you. 22. According to the speaker, what is the similarity between sports and business? A) 23. What will happen when someone dresses improperly in the company? D) 24.

组织受伤或感染会产生过氧化氢。对此,血液细胞中的白细胞首先产生反应,自动导引到伤口消灭感染源,清除伤 口污物,并重新修复受损组织。最初是组织发炎,但是当伤口被清理干净并且组织不断被修复后,炎症会消退。目前, 对斑马鱼的一项研究显示肿瘤细胞也参与并支持了这一过程。 赫尔斯通和他的同事们改变了斑马鱼的基因结构,使其表皮细胞和白细胞在紫外线照射下呈现不同的颜色。为使 一些斑马鱼产生癌变的表皮细胞,也对它们进行了改变。 研究小组发现癌变的表皮细胞分泌过氧化氢,这能够召集助其一直长成肿瘤的白细胞。 当研究小组抑制斑马鱼中 过氧化氢的产生时,白细胞不再受癌细胞吸引,从而癌细胞群落数量减少。 更令人担忧的是,研究人员发现临近癌变细胞的正常表皮细胞也会产生过氧化氢,这表明癌细胞用某种方法指派 正常表皮细胞诱发炎症。 Section B 氧诵刊潮讯
