审题谋篇

本次四级作文主题为“绿色校园”，这是一个看似简单普通的话题，写起来却不是那么容易。因为很多考生对于“绿色校园”所表达的内涵感觉比较生僻。假如对“绿色校园”这一主题感到难以把握，考生可以从作文提纲入手进行分析以获取对“绿色校园”这一概念的相关信息。根据作文提示2，可以看出此处的“绿色校园”指的决不仅仅是青青的草地和高大的树木构成的校园绿色风景，也不仅仅指对校园环境的珍视和爱护，而是指一种环境保护的文化氛围和师生具有的环境素养，以及由此带来的和谐的人文环境和社会绩效。在深入理解概念的基础上，考生还应对 “绿色校园”的重要性进行剖析，这时，考生可以从多个角度组织素材，比如从校园的环境问题出发，进而扩展到师生的环境意识对“绿色校园”所产生的长远意义以及为未来环境改善所做的贡献。最后是阐述建设“绿色校园”所要采取的措施。需要注意的就是作文给分的重点在于考生如何用恰当的语言词汇表达自己的思想观点。而不是写得越多，得分就越高。一般分成三个自然段，大概十句话，基本的分布为首段、末段合起来五句或六句，中间段五句或四句，做到结构清楚，重点突出，就可以了。来源:考试大-英语四级考试 参考范文

近来，随着建设并保持“绿色地球”的观念成为社会关注的焦点，“绿色校园”也成为校园里流行的话题。这无疑会给我们的校园和社会带来长远的利益。

“绿色校园”不仅仅指绿色的环境，还包括人们头脑中的环境意识。学校在培养年轻一代上起着关键作用，“绿色校园”的意识必定会对学生毕业后的环境保护意识产生长远影响。更为重要的是，年轻一代面临着严重的环境污染，有太多问题等待他们去解决。

为使“绿色校园”成为现实，首先应该制定出可持续发展、可长远发展的有效政策。其次，还需要人们对环境污染的严肃性有正确认识并采取实际行动切实减少污染。最后但同样重要的是，有必要加强学校和社会的联系以便在全社会共同努力下使“绿色校园”顺利实施。

范文点评

范文以“绿色校园”开篇，保证了文章切题。第一段开门见山，强调当今环保理念下构建“绿色校园”的长远意义。第二段，着重讨论“绿色校园”的含义，指出“绿色校园”不仅指校园中的绿化，还指生活在校园中的人们的绿色和环保意识，把校园这个小环境和社会这个大环境结合起来，说理更加深刻。第三段是谈及具体的做法，分一、二、三点进行论述，无疑是使“绿色校园”的理念落在实处。结构完整，首尾呼应，用词准确。关系词的正确使用让句与句之间、段与段之间衔接紧凑，思想表达成熟有深度。

避错指导

本次作文在题材上，虽然仍然延续了我们所熟悉校园类话题，但与社会背景有很大关系。刚刚闭幕的哥本哈根世界气候大会使环保减排这个主题成为焦点，在全世界都提倡可持续发展、和谐发展这一背景下的“绿色校园”，同时也是一个社会热点话题，这是我们审题时所必须考虑的。另外开篇时，切忌拖泥带水，应直截了当，使阅卷老师对文章主题一目了然。

除正确审题之外，考生还应注意语言的准确运用，不落俗套。不同句型之间转换时，考生应对句子结构全面掌握，避免句式错误造成扣分。

最后，应尽量避免单词拼写错误。本次作文常见的卷面拼写错误如下表：

正确拼写 词性及词义 错误的拼写

focus n.焦点 focuse

effect n.影响 effection /affect

environment n.环境 envirment/invironment

burden n.负担 burdon

solve v.解决 slove

serious a.严肃的 serous

true a.真的 ture

society n.社会 soceity

theory n.理论 thery

总之，考生在构思和写作过程中要尽可能做到思路完整，恰如其分地选择词汇。毕竟，无错表达才是四级语言表达合格的核心。

大学重新审视奖学金的价值

许多大学给予学生经济资助时，最重要的依据仍然是学生良好的评估等级和较高的试卷分数。

但是在未来几年里，预计低收入家庭的学生数占大学生总数的比例越来越大。一些学校正在重新考虑奖学金是否是利用大学宝贵的资金最有效的途径。

例如，华盛顿特区的乔治•华盛顿大学上周公布说将削减约三分之一的奖学金，减少奖学金得主数，而将节省下来的大约250万美元用于助学金。位于宾夕法尼亚州米德维尔的阿勒格尼学院三年前也做出了类似的决定。

纽约克林顿市的哈密尔顿学院说它将逐步淘汰奖学金。该规定不会使现有的奖学金得主失去奖学金，助学金制度将从2008年秋天入学的学生开始实行。

并不是所有的大学都提供奖学金;一般来说，淘汰率越高的学校，越不太可能提供奖学金。例如，哈佛大学和普林斯顿大学慷慨地提供了各种助学金，但是许多不符合助学条件的家庭为了上名牌大学不管付多少钱都愿意。

对于规模较小的地方性学院来说，他们只是努力填满空缺，奖学金只是财政收入的重要来源，因为许多奖学金得主仍需支付比奖学金金额更高的学费，而正是这些学费维持大学的运转。

但是对于有排名意识的学校，奖学金已经成为招收一流学生和改善他们的学术效益的一种主要工具。斯基德莫尔大学的经济学家桑迪•波美说，“他们试图购买学生”。

研究表明奖学金存在一种倾向，即大部分奖学金得主不依靠奖学金仍能支付得起学费。

“展望未来，更迫切需要的助学金投资”，汉密尔顿的入学和助学金办公室主任莫尼卡•英泽说。汉密尔顿大学已提供10年的奖学金。在这段时间里，在《美国新闻和世界报导》对最好的文学院的排名中，它从第25名上升到第17名。

奖学金每年帮助了大约75名学生，或大约4%的学生，花费大约为一年1百万美元，“奖学金给我们带来了好处”，英泽说，但“奖学金这种变相优惠学费的做法对不需要经济援助的家庭来说，似乎不妥。”

助学金目前仍是学生接受资助的主要方式，包括国家助学金、联邦助学金和机构助学金。但是，从总体上和大学层面上来看，主要由学校和州提供的奖学金增长速度很快。

一项由美国宾州州立大学教授唐纳德•海勒主持的研究报告表明，在1995-96和2003-04年之间，仅就大学的奖学金而言，增加了212%，而助学金增加了47%。至少有15个州也提供奖学金，通常是为了在公立大学中招收优等生。

但是近年来，越来越多的批评已经迫使大学开始减少这种做法。汉密尔顿和其他大学最近的决策可能是“一种迹象，表明人们开始意识到这种破坏性的竞争”，波美说。波美与他人合作，共同发表了一份《大学报告》，对于大学资助不是建立在需要的基础之上表示担忧。

明尼苏达私立大学委员会主席大卫•莱尔德认为，很多私立学校想减少奖学金，但害怕这样做，会使优秀学生流失到他们的竞争对手那里去。

“没有人可以采取单方面行动，”莱尔德说。他正在探索是否能获得联邦反托拉斯法的豁免，以使会员大学可以讨论如何共同降低奖学金。“这是一个跑得很快的旋转木马，没有大学相信他们能承受摆脱木马束缚的风险。”

一个复杂因素就是，奖学金已经在不符合助学金条件的中产阶级家庭中变得很受欢迎，结果许多家庭都依靠它。并且，随着学费不断增加，奖助学金之间的界限也变得模糊了。

这是阿勒格尼大学并不打算完全取消奖学金的理由之一。

“我们仍然相信对成绩优异者进行奖励的效用，好学生很重视奖学金”，阿勒格尼大学负责招生的副校长斯科特•弗利达霍夫说。

位于亚特兰大的艾莫利大学以拥有47亿美元的捐赠而自豪。同时该校拟采取新政策。今年，该大学宣布将取消特困生贷款，同时对中产阶级家庭的贷款进行限额，但它将扩大其已有28年历史的奖学金项目。

“是的，我们在玩奖学金游戏，”负责大学本科教育的副院长汤姆兰•卡斯特承认。但这也有它的优势，他说，“事实上，这不仅仅关系到低收入人群，它还关系到无缘问津助学金、普通的美国中产阶级家庭。”

* 关于奖学金制度的几点补充

采集者退散

奖学金是向在某一领域杰出的学生提供的资助，通常是指学术、体育和艺术奖学金。

学术奖学金是以学生在高中阶段的分数，平均成绩和学术表现为基础。它们通常是专门为学生在高中毕业后直接进入大学而设置的。然而，还有为学习成绩格外突出的在校大学生准备的奖学金。这些奖学金通常帮助学生交纳学费，只要他们继续符合条件，每年都可以继续享受。某些情况下，学生在申请过程中可能需要学校或者一位教师推荐。

运动奖学金是为在任何一种体育运动中突出的学生设置的奖学金，从足球到田径项目。本奖学金必须有人推荐，因为杰出的运动表现必须得到教练或裁判的认可。申请者需要寄送包含他们最佳表现的一盘磁带。

艺术奖学金要求申请者在一定艺术领域有突出表现。一般包括创作领域，如艺术、设计、时装、音乐、舞蹈或写作。申请艺术奖学金，通常要求学生提供一个选辑，它可以包括艺术作品集、音乐表演录像或舞蹈的视频

C)Cash a check at a bank.C)在银行兑现支票。

【正确项分析】由but后的money changer可知男生需要换零钱，可快速排除选项B(购物中心)和选项D(停车)二个场景，答案应在选项A、C当中。C选项虽也和“钱”有关，但对话中对该选项中的银行只字未提，由此可知答案为选项A。

【原文及译文】

【正确项分析】女士话语仍具有绝对指导意义，非常简单的建议考点，竟然直接用到了suggest，其后必有答案，女生提到toy train和brand，加上男生说的school boy，可确定答案为选项B。

【干扰项分析】A选项中的son是无中生有，切忌主观猜测。选项D可在听时排除，原文中并无任何涉及关于“还价”或具体金额的内容。

【原文及译文】

M: Can you recommend something that a school boy of 7 or 8 will really like?

W: I‟d suggest this toy train, sir.It‟s an excellent brand.Very popular all over the world these days.Q: What is the man doing?

D)He will ask someone else to help the woman.D)他将找其他人来帮助女士。

【听音指导】此题考查意义解释题加转折题型，此类题型答案多为“听见什么不选什么”。本题需要对考生有一定的实力要求，属于可“失分”的题目。关注动词 move to，provide，show around和ask。

【正确项分析】经典转折考法，直接用but定位答案即可，男生说自己当时还很年轻，言下之意自己对当地情况不够了解。答案为B选项。

【干扰项分析】根据四级听力中短对话“尾词错误原则”，即结尾内容听得越清楚越不能选，可顺利排除A选项。选项C没有提及。选项D与选项B为相似项，其中应有答案，男士并未主动提出找人帮忙，故排除选项D。

B)He is highly ambitious.B)他很有抱负。

【正确项分析】原文是“承担责任前需要积累更多经验”，表明他知道自己的不足之处，与选项D同义。

【干扰项分析】A选项中是rather，与原文的a little 不一致，可排除。C选项原文中未曾提及。

【原文及译文】

W: Aren‟t you disappointed that you didn‟t get the promotion?

M: Maybe a little, but I know I need more experience before I‟m ready for that kind of responsibility.Q: What do we learn about the man from this conversation?

【干扰项分析】男士赞扬女士身材好，但未曾提到她以此闻名，B选项可排除。男士也未称赞她的作法，故排除选项D。

【听音指导】本题选项预读最难，找不出明显的相反或相似选项，听前可暂时确定两组方向。选项A、C与物理有关，选项B、D是导师的建议，待场景明确后再排除。

【正确项分析】首句用到suggest接着说到tutor场景明确，和选项B、D有关，排除选项A、C。首句Professor Clark suggested I get a tutor for advanced physics，可知答案为选项D。

【原文及译文】

W: Professor Clark suggested I get a tutor for advanced physics.M: Well, that might help.Advanced physics is a pretty difficult course.Q: What does the man mean?

女士：克拉克教授建议我得为高等物理找个家庭教师。

男士：嗯，那可能有帮助。高等物理确实是一门比较难的科目。

问题：男士的意思是什么?

【词汇点拨】tutor n.家庭教师;constructive a.有益的，建设性的 18.A)Indifferent.A)漠不关心的。

B)Doubtful.B)怀疑的。

C)Pleased.C)高兴的。

D)Surprised.D)惊奇的。

【听音指导】预读时可排除唯一的“积极”选项C。本题为加了“弦外之音” 意义解释题，同义替换是答案，此类题有较少的明显的语言点可以指示答案，难度较大。听音时关注说话者的语气。

【正确项分析】女士所谓的好消息是谈话的两个人都没有被炒鱿鱼。男士却既不兴奋，也没有表示怀疑，所以轻易排除选项B、C。因为他已经有点厌倦这份工作了，甚至想到要去辞职。与选项A意义相符。

【原文及译文】

W: Bill, have you heard the latest news? It appears we two won‟t be laid off after all.M: Oh, I‟m somewhat tired of working here.I‟ve been wondering whether I should resign.Anyway, the news seems to be good for you.Q: How does the man feel about the news?

女士：比尔，知道最新消息吗?好像我俩都没有被炒鱿鱼。

男士：哦，我在这儿工作有些厌烦了，我一直在考虑我是否应该辞职。无论如何，这个消息对你来说是个好事。

问题：男士对新闻是怎么看的?

【词汇点拨】indifferent a.漠不关心的;doubtful a.持怀疑态度的;lay off 解雇;resign v.辞职;be tired of … 对……厌倦

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19.A)He prefers the smaller evening classes.A)他更喜欢晚上的小班课程。

B)He has signed up for a day course.B)他已经报名参加白天课程。

C)He has to work during the day.C)他白天上班。

D)He finds the evening course cheaper.D)他发现晚上课程更便宜。

【听音指导】预览选项，选项A、D讨论evening class，选项B讲述day course，立刻可推测此长对话与课程有关，且该课程有day class和evening class之分。从这四个选项暗含的意义推测，男士应偏重于evening class，可初步推测，此题考查男士选择evening class的原因。

【正确项分析】原文中男士明确说明it would have to be an evening course since I work during the day，关键词在于since，正所谓“因果必考”，选项C与原文相符。

20.A)Learn a computer language.A)学习一门计算机语言。

B)Learn data processing.B)学习数据处理。

C)Buy some computer software.C)买一些电脑软件。

D)Buy a few course books.D)买一些课本。

【听音指导】行为动作考查题，根据19题推测，本对话涉及报班，由本题四个选项可知，所报课程与电脑有关，因为前三项均与computer有关。可知选项D与其他三项明显不同，可初步排除。本题也为一细节题，在听力过程中，应适时记录相关信息。

【正确项分析】女士先提到了Have you taken any courses in data processing，在其后紧跟着又对其进行了解释data processing is a course you have to take before you can take computer programming。对于data processing在对话中重复出现，且与问题相符，故选择B选项。

21.A)Thursday evening, from 7:00 to 9:45.A)周四晚，7点至9点45分。

B)From September 1 to New Year‟s eve.B)从9月1号至新年前夕。

C)Every Monday, lasting for 12 weeks.C)每周一，持续12周。

D)Three hours a week, 45 hours in total.D)一星期三小时，总共45小时。

【听音指导】由选项即可知本题考查数字的细节题，且考查的数字为持续的时间，初步推测为某一课程所持续的时间。所以如在听力过程中涉及数字都要作笔记，且应注意数字的上下文场景。

【正确项分析】对该问题的回答，信息较分散，最初提到了every Monday, from 7 to 9:45。接下来在let me see停顿之后出现答案12 weeks，from September 1 to Christmas eve.整合以上信息，应选C。

【干扰项分析】选项A错在Thursday evening，原文中明确给出应该是Monday evening。选项B中的New Year‟s eve也是偷梁换柱，应为Christmas eve。选项D涉及小计算，每晚3小时，持续12周，应大约总共36小时才正确。来源：www.xiexiebang.com

22.A)What to bring for registration.A)登记时需要带什么。

B)Where to attend the class.B)到哪里去上课。

C)How he can get to Frost Hall.C)去弗罗斯特大厅怎么走。

D)Whether he can use a check.D)他是否能用支票。

【听音指导】根据“前二后二必考”原则，本题又为本对话的最后一题，此题必在文章后面出题。由四选项的形式可初步推测，本题考查的是问题的内容。

【正确项分析】本题的问题直截了当，在原文中男士给出了明确的提问，Is there anything that I should bring with me? 与选项A同义。

【干扰项分析】许多考生按照常理或主观臆测选定选项B，此项在原文中恰恰没有提到。原文中男士也明确表明I know how to get there，选项C是多余的。文中虽提到checkbook，是女士对男士问题的回答，而非男士的发问，故排除。

【原文及译文】

W: Hello, Parkson College.May I help you?

M: Yes.I‟m looking for information on courses in computer programming.I would need it for the fall semester.W: Do you want a day or evening course?

B)He considers cooking creative.B)他认为烹饪是具有创新性的。

C)He can enjoy healthier food.C)他喜欢健康食物。

采集者退散

D)He thinks take-away is tasteless.D)他觉得外带食品不好吃。

【听音指导】预览选项，可知选项A与其他三项明显不同，可初步排除。本题与食物或烹饪有关。所以在听音过程中，如提及cooking或food，应多加注意，适时记录。

【正确项分析】 听音过程中听到此句I always cook a meal rather than have a take-away，即可知答案就在附近，接下来的一句To do something my brain will regard as creative中，出现了关键词creative，选项B与之相符，故选择B选项。

25.A)It is something inevitable.A)是某种不可避免的事情。

B)It is frustrating sometimes.B)有时候令人沮丧。

C)It takes patience to manage.C)它需要耐心来管理。

D)It can be a good thing.D)它可能是件好事。

【正确项分析】I do actually enjoy an element of uncertainty.只要抓住此句中的一个关键词uncertainty，此题便可轻易而解，选项A正确。

【原文及译文】

W: So, why exactly does your job have a reputation for being stressful?

M: Stress is generally driven by the feeling of being out of control of a situation and the feeling of a situation controlling you.Trading in financial markets combines both.W: How do you relax in the evening?

M: I very rarely do anything work-related so it‟s easy to escape the markets.I generally go to the gym or go for a run, especially if I‟ve had a bad day.I always cook a meal rather than have a take-away.To do something my brain would regard as creative.W: Do you think what you do for relaxation is an effective way to beat stress?

M: I don‟t think there is a specific rule about how to beat stress.I generally find out what I do is effective for me.W: Would you consider changing your job because of the high stress factor?

M: I have considered leaving my job due to stress-related factors.However, I do think that an element of stress is a good thing, and if used the right way, it can actually be a positive thing.W: What do you enjoy about the stressful aspects of your job?

M: Having said all that, I do actually enjoy an element of uncertainty.I enjoy a mental challenge.Trading generates a wide range of emotions second by second.How you deal with and manage those emotions dictates short, medium and long term trading performance and success.23: What is the man‟s job?

24: Why does the man prefer to cook a meal rather than have a take-away?

25: What does the man say about an element of stress in his job?

女士：那么，到底为什么你的工作以紧张出名呢?

男士：当人们束手无策或感觉被控制时，就会有压力感。金融市场上的交易正是这两者的结合。

女士：你晚上如何放松?

男士：我很少做与工作有关的事情，所以很容易逃脱市场。我通常去健身房或是出去跑步。尤其是在我感觉某天很糟糕的时候，更是如此。我总是做饭，而不是叫外卖。做点儿有创意的事。

女士：你认为你放松自己的方法对消除压力有效吗?

男士：消除压力没有特定的法宝。总的来说，我发现我所做的一切对我来说都是有效的。

女士：你是否因压力大而考虑换工作呢?

男士：因为压力的因素我曾考虑过离开我的工作。但是，我认为压力是一件好事。如果运用得当，压力实际上是有益的。

女士：你喜欢工作中的哪些压力?

男士：说了这么多，我的确喜欢不确定因素。我喜欢挑战。交易会在瞬间产生一系列大范围的情绪波动。你如何处理及管理这些情绪支配着中短期及长期交易业绩和成功。

23：男士的工作是什么?

24：为什么男士喜欢做饭，而不是叫外卖?

25：关于工作中的压力感，男士说了什么?

Passage One

篇章结构

本次四级听力篇章从内容难度上来讲，比2009年6月的更难。此篇文章属于天文类，讲的是除地球以外的星球上形成生命的可能性。曾经科学家们认为其他星球上存在生命的可能性不大，但是现在科学家在渐渐地定位那些有可能会形成生命的地方。文章对此举了一个例子，就是木星的一个卫星，叫木卫二。

词汇点拨

fascinated a.着迷的;surface n.表面;bacteria n 细菌;automatically ad.自动地;probe n.探头，探针;evolution n.进化

moon n.卫星，月球

nitrogen n.氮

planet n.行星，星球

volcanic activity 火山活动

难句解析

1.Since early times, people have been fascinated with the idea of life existing somewhere else besides earth.【解析】since early times作时间状语，主句主语为people，谓语为be fascinated with，即“对……着迷”，着迷的对象是idea of life，existing somewhere else besides earth为现在分词作定语修饰名词life。

2.The probes have also made scientists think that under its surface Europa has a rocky core giving off volcanic heat.【解析】本句主句部分谓语成分为make sb.do sth.，让某人做某事，that引出think的从句。从句的主语为Europa，giving off volcanic heat作定语修饰has的宾语a rocky core。

试题详解

26.A)There were no planets without moons.A)除了卫星外没有行星。

B)There was no air or water on Jupiter.B)在木星上没有空气或水。

C)Life was not possible in outer space.C)在外空是没有生命的。

D)The mystery of life could not be resolved D)生命的奥秘是不能解决的。

【听音指导】预览选项，可知本题考查细节事实题。鉴于此题位于本短文的第一题，答案应在最初几句中找到，具体的说，是在开头30秒。选项D与其他三项明显不同，可初步排除。听音时关注no planets，no air or water还是no life。

【正确项分析】第一题问的是科学家曾经(once)相信什么事实?那么根据我们的理解，应该是他们认为外太空不可能存在生命。这个答案出现在原文的第二句，原文是Until recently, scientists believed that life on other planets was just a hopeful dream，意为科学家们认为在其他星球上存在生命只不过是个充满希望的梦。故选择C项。

27.A)It has a number of active volcanoes.A)有很多活火山。

B)It has an atmosphere like the earth‟s.B)有像地球上的大气层。

C)It has a large ocean under its surface.C)在它的表面有一个大海洋。

D)It has deep caves several miles long.D)有几英里长的深洞穴。

【听音指导】通过选项即可确定本题为对于某一事物的细节描述题，所以首先要解决各选项中it所指的内容。由第一题选项可初步推测，本题很可能考查的是对一个星球的描述。

【正确项分析】问题为科学家在木卫二星球上找到什么，那么应该是Space probes have provided evidence that Europa has a large ocean under its surface，意为航空观测镜发现了星球表面下有个大的海洋。C选项与原文一模一样。

28.A)Light is not an essential element to it.A)光不是必备因素。

B)Life can form in very hot temperatures.B)生命在很热的温度下能够形成。

C)Every form of life undergoes evolution.C)每种生命的形成都需要进化。

D)Oxygen is not needed for some life forms.D)氧在生命形成过程中没有必要。

【听音指导】根据惯例，最后一个问题答案出现在篇章结束前三十秒左右，选项均涉及生命形成因素，分别为light，hot temperatures，evolution和oxygen，根据这些信息，可轻易在短文结束前找到答案。

【正确项分析】注意转折连词but前后，原文为Until recently, scientists thought that light was essential.But now, places have been found on earth that are in total blackness such as caves several miles beneath the ocean.And bacteria, primitive forms of life, have been seen there。意为科学家一直以为光是很重要的，但是现在他们发现完全黑暗的地方—比如几英里深的洞里，也有生命，即细菌。可见，光不是必备因素，选项A正确。

原文及译文

Since early times, people have been fascinated with the idea of life existing somewhere else besides earth.Until recently, scientists believed that life on other planets was just a hopeful dream.But now they are beginning to locate places where life could form.In 1997, they saw evidence of planets near other stars like the sun.But scientists now think that life could be even nearer in our own solar system.One planet scientists are studying very closely is Europa, a moon of Jupiter.Space probes have provided evidence that Europa has a large ocean under its surface.The probes have also made the scientists think that under its surface Europa has a rocky core giving off volcanic heat.Water and heat from volcanic activity are two basic conditions needed for life to form.A third is certain basic chemicals such as carbon, oxygen and nitrogen.Scientists believe there might be such chemicals lying at the bottom of Europa‟s ocean.They may have already created life or may be about to.You may wonder if light is also needed for life to form.Until recently, scientists thought that light was essential.But now, places have been found on earth that are in total blackness such as caves several miles beneath the ocean.And bacteria, primitive forms of life have been seen there.So the lack of light in Europa‟s sub-surface ocean doesn‟t automatically rule out life forming.26.What did scientists once believe according to the passage?

27.What have scientists found about Europa, a moon of Jupiter?

28.What have scientists come to know recently about the formation of life?

从很早以前，人们一直迷恋着地球以外的地方也存在生命的想法。直到近来，科学家们认为在其他星球上存在生命只不过是个充满希望的梦。但是，现在他们开始查找可能有生命的地方。1997年，科学家们在恒星附近，例如太阳，发现了行星的踪迹。科学家们现在认为生命可能我们更近，就在太阳系内。科学家们正密切关注的地方是木卫二，木星的一个卫星。太空探测器提供了证据表明木卫二表层之下有一个海洋。探测器也让科学家们认为木卫二表层有散发出火山热的岩石核心。火山活动的水和热量是生命形成的两个基本条件。第三个是一些基本的化学物质，如碳、氧和氮。科学家们认为在木卫二海洋底部可能存在这样的化学成分。他们可能已经创造了生命或即将产生生命。你可能在想光也是生命形成的必要条件。直到最近，科学家们仍认为光是不可或缺的。但现在已经在地球上发现，海洋几英里之下的黑暗的洞穴内有细菌，即原始生命形式的存在。所以不能排除缺乏光的木卫二地下海洋有生命形成的可能性 26.根据短文，科学家曾相信什么?

采集者退散

27.科学家们发现关于木卫二的什么信息?

28.最近，科学家就生命的形成了解到什么?

难句解析

1.Also listening to her were a half a dozen other family members.【解析】此句为倒装句，强调listening to her，主语为a half a dozen other family members。正常语序为：A half a dozen other family members were also listening to her.2.All of them had heard the simple instructions I have given just a few hours before, but they have three or four different versions.【解析】本句两分句由连词but连接，had heard为过去完成时，表示在家人问玛雅医生之前就发生了此动作。I have given just a few hours before做定语修饰the simple instructions，省略连接词that。

试题详解

29.A)Whether they should take the child home.A)他们是否应该将孩子带回家。

B)What Dr.Mayer‟s instructions exactly were.B)玛雅医生的医嘱到底是什么。

C)Who should take care of the child at home.C)谁在家照顾孩子。

D)When the child would completely recover.D)什么时候这个孩子能完全恢复。

【听音指导】浏览四个选项，应注意到都为wh-开头的疑问词，且提到了医生和孩子，take care of 以及recover，可初步推测此题涉及的场景为医院，病人为孩子。

【正确项分析】问题为孩子的家人因为什么而争论，原文为the family asked her to settle an argument they‟d been having over exactly what advice she had given，意为亲属们就医生到底讲过什么建议争论不休，问医生如何解决。选项B中的instructions与原文的advice同义，选项B正确。

30.A)She encourages them to ask questions when in doubt.A)她鼓励他们拿不准时就提问题。

B)She makes them write down all her instructions.B)她让他们记下她的医嘱。

C)She has them act out what they are to do at home.C)她让他们把将在家里做的事情表演出来。

D)She asks them to repeat what are supposed to do.D)她让他们复述要做的事。

【听音指导】由第一题的选项可很有把握地推测she指代的是Doctor Myer，而与医生相对的多半为病人。注意关键词ask question，write down，act out和repeat。

【正确项分析】玛雅医生如何确定病人完全明白了自己的建议呢?原文为She asks them to tell her what they think they are supposed to do，原文的 tell her与选项D中的关键词repeat一致，选项D为正确答案，31.A)It lacks the stability of the printed word.A)它缺乏印刷体的稳定性。

B)It contains many grammatical errors.B)它包含许多语法错误。

C)It is heavily dependent on the context.C)它十分依赖上下文语境。

D)It facilitates interpersonal communication.D)它有助于人际交往。

【听音指导】本题为短文最后一题，应在文章最后出现。需要注意关键字stability，errors，context和communication。

【正确项分析】此题是典型的篇章问题考法。答案出现在结尾处，问题是作者对于人类口语交流(human speech)总结了什么。原文为human speech lacks the stability and permanence of the printed word，与选项A一致。

原文及译文

In her early days as an emergency room physician, Doctor Joanna Mayer treated a child who had suffered a second degree burn.After the child had been treated and was being prepared for discharge, Doctor Mayer talked to the parents about how they should care for the child at home.Also listening to her were a half a dozen other family members.A few hours later, when she came to say goodbye, the family asked her to settle an argument they‟d been having over exactly what advice she had given.“As I talked to them, I was amazed.” she said, “All of them had heard the simple instructions I have given just a few hours before, but they have three or four different versions.The most basic details were unclear and confusing.I was surprised, because these were intelligent people.” This episode gave Doctor Mayer her first clue to something every doctor learns sooner or later----most people just don‟t listen very well.Nowadays, she says she repeats her instructions, and even conducts a reality check with some patients.She asks them to tell her what they think they are supposed to do.She also provides take-home sheets which are computer printouts tailored to the patients‟ situation.Doc.Mayer‟s listeners are not unusual.When new or difficult material is presented, almost all listeners are faced with a challenge because human speech lacks the stability and permanence of the printed word.Oral communication is fast-moving and impermanent.29.What did the child‟s family members argue about in the hospital?

来源：考试大

30.What does Doc.Mayer do to insure her patients understand her instructions?

31.What does the speaker say about human speech?

乔安娜•玛雅是一名急诊室医生。早年，她曾医治了一名二度烧伤的孩子。这个孩子接受完治疗准备出院时，玛雅医生告诉孩子父母在家如何照顾孩子，在场的还有六位家庭其他成员。几小时后，当她来与孩子再见的时候，孩子一家请她解决争论，他们一直争论她的医嘱到底是什么。“因为我已经告诉过他们，所以我很惊讶。”她说，“他们所有的人都在短短几小时前听到了我给出的简单的医嘱，但是他们有三、四个不同的版本。最基本的细节都不清楚且很困惑。我很吃惊，因为这些是聪明人。”这一段插曲给了玛雅医生第一个线索，而这迟早每个医生都会懂得，即大多数人听的不准确。

如今，玛雅说她反复重复医嘱，甚至对一些病人进行现场核查。她要他们告诉她他们应该做的事。她还根据病人的情况提供可带回家的打印文本。玛雅医生的听众都是正常人。当面对新资料或难度较大的资料时，几乎所有的听众都会面临挑战，因为人类口语缺乏书面文字的稳定性和永久性。口头交流速度快但持续时间短。

29.孩子的家庭成员在医院里争论的是什么?

30.为确保病人明白她的医嘱，玛雅医生做了什么?

31.说话者如何评述人类口语?

job security 职业安全感

labor relations 劳资关系

难句解析

1.It‟s logical to suppose that things like good labor relations, good working conditions, good wages and benefits and job security motivate workers, but one expert, Frederick Herzberg argued that such conditions do not motivate workers.【解析】此句结构是由转折连词but引导的两个分句。前面一个分句中，it做形式主语，后面的不定式to suppose是真正主语。That引导宾语从句，介词like以及其引导内容做things的后置定语。后面一个分句中，one expert 与Frederick Herzberg为同位语，that后引导宾语从句。

2.However, even with the development of computers and robotics, there‟re always plenty of boring, repetitive and mechanical jobs and lots of unskilled people who have to do them.【解析】本句主句为there be 句型，常见的短语with the development of作时间状语，意为“随着……的发展”。jobs和people为表语，三个并列形容词boring，repetitive 和 mechanical一起修饰jobs，who引导的定语从句修饰先行词unskilled people

试题详解

32.A)Job security.A)职业安全感。

B)Good labor relations.B)愉快的劳资关系。

C)Challenging work.C)挑战性的工作。

D)Attractive wages and benefits.D)有吸引力的工资和利益。

【听音指导】预览选项中的关键词job security，labor relation，work，和wages and benefits可知，此篇短文主旨与工作有关，可初步推测与人们对工作的满足感有关。

【正确项分析】此题问的是主题，到底什么可以真正激励员工好好工作呢。原文Motivators, in contrast, include things such as having a challenging and interesting job, recognition and responsibility，连接词in contrast附近出现了答案，意为起到激励作用的东西包括工作的挑战性和趣味性，以及工作中需承担的责任即最终获得的认可。所以选选项C，即挑战性的工作。

【干扰项分析】原文首句虽谈及选项A、B、D各项内容，但是but转折后全盘否定but one expert, Frederick Herzberg argued that such conditions do not motivate workers。故可全部排除。

33.A)Many tedious jobs continue to be done manually.A)许多单调工作继续由手工做。

B)More and more unskilled workers will lose jobs.B)越来越多的非技术工人将失业。

C)Computers will change the nature of many jobs.C)电脑将改变很多工作性质。

D)Boring jobs will gradually be made enjoyable.D)无聊的工作将变得快乐。

【听音指导】从选项内容可知，本题考查的是工作的性质，应注意关键提示词—tedious，unskilled and lose job，computer和boring and enjoyable。

【正确项分析】此题问到作者对电脑信息时代总结了什么。从原文中However, even with the development of computers and robotics, there‟re always plenty of boring, repetitive and mechanical jobs and lots of unskilled people who have to do them.，连接词however后出现了答案。意为，尽管电脑和机器人技术不断发展，还是存在无聊的、重复的、机械性的工作，需要人力完成，对应到正确答案A选项中的tedious以及manually。

34.A)Offer them chances of promotion.A)提供给他们晋升机会。

原文及译文

It‟s logical to suppose that things like good labor relations, good working conditions, good wages and benefits and job security motivate workers, but one expert, Frederick Herzberg argued that such conditions do not motivate workers.They are merely satisfiers.Motivators, in contrast, include things such as having a challenging and interesting job, recognition and responsibility.However, even with the development of computers and robotics, there‟re always plenty of boring, repetitive and mechanical jobs and lots of unskilled people who have to do them.So how do managers motivate people in such jobs? One solution is to give them some responsibilities, not as individuals, but as a team.For example, some supermarkets combine office staff, the people who fill the shelves, and the people who work at the checkout into a team, and let them decide what product lines to stock, how to display them and so on.Many people now talk about the importance of a company‟s shared values or culture with which all the staff can identify, for example, being the best hotel chain, or making the best, the most user-friendly or the most reliable products in a particular field.Such values are more likely to motivate workers than financial targets which ultimately only concern a few people.Unfortunately, there‟s only a limited number of such goals to go around and by definition, not all the competing companies in an industry can seriously play in to be the best.32: What can actually motivate workers according to Frederick Herzberg?

33: What does the speaker say about jobs in the computer era?

34: What do some supermarkets do to motivate employees?

35: Why does the speaker say financial targets are less likely to motivate workers?

认为良好的劳资关系、愉悦的工作环境、较高的工资和福利待遇、工作安全性好能够激励员工，这是完全符合逻辑的。然而，专家弗洛迪克•赫兹伯格认为这些条件并不能激励员工，只是让员工得到满足的物质条件而已。相反，激励因素包括挑战性和趣味性的工作、认可和责任等。然而，即使随着计算机技术和机器人技术的发展，仍有大量无聊的、重复的和机械的工作，并且还必须有大量做这些工作的非技术人员。所以管理人员如何激励从事这种工作的人呢? 一种解决办法就是让他们承担责任，不是作为个人，而是作为团队。例如，有些超市把办公室人员、填货人和收银员编成一组，让他们决定进什么货、产品如何陈列等。现在很多人在谈论员工认同的公司的价值观和公司文化的重要性，如怎样成为最好的旅馆连锁，或在某一特定领域做最好的，用户最亲善的或者最可靠的产品。这样的价值观比那些只与少数人有关的财务目标更有可能激励员工。不幸的是，只有个别公司才会有这样的目标，当然，并不是所有的竞争公司在业界都能做成最好的。

32：根据弗洛迪克•赫兹伯格的观点，什么可以激励员工?

33：说话者就计算机时代的工作发表了什么观点?

34：一些超市为激励员工采取了什么措施?

35：为什么说财务目标不太可能激发员工?

原文重现

In the humanities, authors write to inform you in many ways.These methods can be(36)classified into three types of informational writing: factual, descriptive, and process.Factual writing provides(37)background information on an author, composer or artist or on a type of music, literature, or art.Examples of factual writing include notes on a book jacket or(38)album cover and longer pieces, such as an article describing a style of music which you might read in a music(39)appreciation course.This kind of writing provides a(40)context for your study of the humanities.As its name(41)implies, descriptive writing simply describes or provides an(42)image of, a piece of music, art or literature.For example, descriptive writing might list the colors an artist used in a painting or the(43)instruments a composer included in a musical composition, so as to make pictures of sounds in the readers‟ mind by calling up specific details of the work.(44)Descriptive writing in humanity, particularly in literature is often mixed with critical writing.Process writing explains a series of actions that bring about a result.(45)It tells the reader how to do something, for example, explaining the technique used to show a film.This kind of writing is often found in art, where understanding how an art has created a certain effect is important.(46)Authors may actually use more than one type of techniques in the given piece of informational writing.篇章结构

试题详解

36.【听音指导】根据空前后内容，可推测此空意为“归类成……”，轻易可以联想到常考词classified，构成be classified into结构。

37.【听音指导】事实性写作方式会提供什么样的信息，在预读时，很容易将其推测为形容词，但background是常见词，而background information作为背景知识，在日常生活中常常用到。

38.【听音指导】此空中的内容与book，long piece并列，可知此空填写的词为名词，且与book等为一类。album发音特殊，一般不会与其他词相混，应注意拼写。

39.【听音指导】由题意很容易判断此部分应为音乐鉴赏课，此空的难点在于appreciation(“鉴赏”)这个词的拼写。appreciate作动词，意为鉴赏，此空需要其名词形式。

40.【听音指导】为研究人文学科提供环境，其中context是高频词，几乎在每次考试中都能考到，此题不易失分。

41.【听音指导】此句话应理解为“正如名字所显示的那样”，立刻可以联系到show等词，而原文中的imply在以往四级考试中也反复出现。

42.【听音指导】描述性的写作能提供什么?立刻就想到形象、印象。image这个词很容易填出。

43.【听音指导】作曲家所用的音乐器具，自然为musical instrument。然而此空需要注意的是它的复数形式。

44.【听音指导】此段讲述的是descriptive writing，此句位于本段的最后一句，应为总结性话语。答案为Descriptive writing in the humanities, particularly in literature is often mixed with critical writing。particularly可替换为especially，be mixed with意为“与……混合”。也可写为Descriptive writing is mixed with critical writing，那么既保留了句子的大意，而且也能规避如particularly这样的长难词。采分点为descriptive writing和critical writing。

45.【听音指导】此段讲述的是processing writing，按照惯例此句为对其的总结性解释。shoot a film，意为拍电影。采分点为how to do something和 technique。

46.【听音指导】整篇文章为总分式，先总述了三种写作题材，然后分别讲述每种写作题材的适用范围。此空独立成句，很可能论述三部分适用范围的交集。采分点为more than one type of technique is used in

writing。

全文精译

在人文学科中，作者可以通过多种写作方式告知读者信息。这些方法可分为三类信息写作题材：事实性的，描述性的和解说性的。事实性写作提供了一位作家、作曲家或艺术家或者是一种音乐、文学或艺术的背景信息。事实性写作包括封面上的说明和专辑封面，较长的作品如音乐鉴赏课中可能读到的描述一种音乐风格的文章。这种写作题材为人文学科研究提供了依据。

正如它的名字所暗示的，描写性写作指简单的描述或为一段音乐、一种艺术和文学树立一种形象。例如，描写性写作可能介绍一位艺术家在画中用过的色彩，或一位乐器作曲家在音乐作品中所用的乐器。通过具体描述，在读者的脑海里留下声音的图画。人文学科中的描写性写作，特别在文学中，经常与评论式写作共同使用。

解说性写作是解释会带来某种结果的一系列的行动。它告诉读者如何做某事，例如，拍电影的技术。这种写作往往用于艺术中，因为理解艺术家如何创造了一种特定效果是很重要的。在一篇指定的信息写作中，作者可以运用多种写作技巧。

一项新的研究表明，父母都工作的家庭，父亲可能比母亲对于孩子语言的发展有更大的影响力。

研究者们从十一个幼儿护理中心招募了九十二个家庭，他们的孩子都不到一岁，并且逐一询问了他们的收入、受教育状况、孩子的照顾情况。总之，它们都是受过良好教育的中产阶级家庭，父母双亲都和孩子住在一起。

当孩子两岁时，研究人员将他们与父母双方在家自由玩耍的情景录制下来，并记录他们所有的谈话。该研究将发表在《应用发展心理学杂志》第十一期。

科学家们测量了父母亲话语总的数量、使用不同词汇的数量、他们的语句的复杂程度以及他们语言的其他方面。通常，父亲比母亲说的少，但是在话语的长度和问问题的多少方面，他们没有差别。

最后，当孩子们三岁时，研究人员对孩子进行了标准化的语言测试，并对他们的语言进行了分析。测试中，预测高分的指标包括母亲受教育的程度、养育孩子的质量和父亲使用不同词汇的数量。

令研究者们疑惑的是为什么父亲而非母亲的语言对孩子有影响。

该研究的主要作者那达亚•潘克索发说：“大家都公认母亲的语言的确有影响力。”也可能因为在研究中能力强的母亲已经对孩子的语言发展产生了很大的影响。她又讲到，“或者可能母亲起作用的方式在研究中我们没有测量。”

【正确项分析】该句Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices，告诉读者外国人能够给学校业已成立的体系带来新的活力。此意与C选项的意思相近，故选C选项 全文精译

2009年毕业的高中生进入牛津大学的同时，他们也会迎来一个新的面孔，安德鲁 •汉密尔顿，55岁的耶鲁大学教务长。他将入主牛津，职位相当于美国大学的校长。

汉密尔顿并不是第一位跨越大西洋到外国任职的教育家。法国、埃及、新家坡等一些国家的学校近年来纷纷从国外聘请学校的高层管理人员。像其他商业活动一样，如今，高等教育已成为极具竞争力的商业行为，并且日渐国际化。但是人才的流动并不是世界性的。高层的管理人员往往来自一个地方：美国。

其主要原因是许多学校并不真地想从国外引进人才。例如，科罗拉多大学董事会在遴选新校长时，想聘用一个与州政府熟悉的领导人，因为州政府是学校的主要资金来源。“我们不会在全球范围内聘用校长”，帕特立夏•海说，该校最终聘用了布鲁斯•本森，69岁的科罗拉多州商人、政治活动家。他能够胜任现代大学校长的职务：筹措资金。筹措资金为美国大学所特有，因为美国大学的运转主要依赖捐款。筹措资金的能力在很大程度上依靠经验，也是美国校长必须具备的能力。

与此同时，很多欧洲大学仍然依靠政府投入。而政府的投入却没能跟上不断扩大的学生规模。政府投入的减少，使得筹措资金成为学校管理部门的当务之急，于是对美国的人才求贤若渴。

在过去几年里，世界各地的优秀学校都加入了这一行列。2003年，剑桥大学任命前耶鲁大学教务长艾莉森•理查德为副校长。学校公开强调艾莉森之前的工作确保了“耶鲁大学财政状况良好”。

当然，这些外国管理者不仅只是筹措资金。教育全球化意味着更多的大学将要聘用那些具有国际经验的校长，以促进国际间项目的合作，招收留学生。外国人能够给学校业已成立的体系带来新的活力。

Part V Cloze

篇章结构

本次完形填空选自2009年1月20日www.xiexiebang.com

人们需要一个“中年回首”的机会来适应以后的工作生涯，规划退休后的角色转化。这种转化可以发生在五十岁到九十多岁的漫长时间内。应该有更多的资金来保证人们塑造个性和在“第三年龄段”发挥建设性作用。

命题风向标

2009年12月19日的大学英语四级考试已经尘埃落定，纵观本次考试的完形填空题型，难度与往年相比差别不大。

与往年有所不同的是本次考试完形填空首段没有空格，这无疑增加了信息的传达，一定程度上减少了解题的难度。尽管首段没有空格，但考生对于首段应该给予足够的重视，因为往往它就是文章的中心，它体现的观点决定全文的观点，所以多花一点时间看首段是值得的。

词汇辨析仍然是考察的重点，如68，69，75，76，81，83，84，85，86。主要以近义词、形近异义词辨析为主。其中不乏难度词汇：adequate，superior，regulations，stability，ratio，realms，assets等。有关考察逻辑关系的题目出现频率较高，如72，78，80，81，83，85，86，但难度都不是很大，根据上下文语意均可轻松化解。

另外，考生在选择时还要根据上下文的复现或同现以及这些词之间的有机联系来确定答案。由于完形填空的文章是一个意义相关联的语篇，围绕一个话题论述，因此在行文中词语的重复、替代、复现和同现现象是不可避免的。根据这个原则，某一个空格所对应的答案很可能就是在上下文中复现或同现的相关词：原词、同义词、近义词、反义词等。如70 challenges，71题retirement，73题learning等，都是在全文中复现较高的字眼。因此，在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。

Part Ⅵ Translation

87.had followed my instructions/orders

【结构分析】本句的主语是You。谓语动词是would not have failed。if you had followed my instructions是if引导的条件状语从句。

【要点解析】本题考查的是虚拟语气的用法。①if从句的虚拟语气考查，根据语法规定，如果主句中出现would +have的形式，从句中应该采用had+过去分词的结构。②“按照……的指令”可表达为follow my instructions/orders。③ 根据主句的would not have failed 结构就可以推断这是对过去事实的虚拟，那么从句则是had+done 结构，所以答案为you had followed my instructions/orders。

【原句精译】如果你按照我的指令去做，就不会失败了。

88.gave up pursuing knowledge

【结构分析】 本句的主语是Mark。谓语是gave up pursuing knowledge。despite the hardship he encountered是despite引导的状语从句。

【要点解析】本题考查动词give的搭配。①“放弃”可译为give up。②encounter the hardship也是非常重要的固定搭配，意为“遇到困难”。需要填写的部分应该采用过去时。③“对知识的追求”可译为pursuing knowledge.【原句精译】尽管马克遇到困难，但是他从未放弃对知识的追求。

【能力拓展】动词give的常见搭配。①give up放弃，交出 例：When you graduate, will you give up your study? 你毕业后会不会放弃学习? ②give oneself up to献身于，沉溺于，热衷于 例：The boy gives himself up to electronic games.这个男孩沉溺于电子游戏。③give away泄露，出卖 例：He gave my secret away.他泄露了我的秘密。④give in屈服，让步 例：You must give in your examination papers now.你们现在必须把试卷交上来。

89.before we find the methods of curing cancers/ before we find the cure for cancer

【结构分析】本句的主语是Scientists，谓语是agree，that it will be a long time是that引导的宾语从句，before we find the methods of curing cancers是before引导的时间状语从句。

【要点解析】“治愈”可译为cure，而不应译为treat，treat是“治疗”的意思。cure有疗法的意思，所以治愈癌症的方法还可以译为cure for cancer。根据句子的已知部分，可以判断出填写的部分用一般现在时

【原句精译】科学家们认为，要过很长时间才能找到治愈癌症的方法。

【能力拓展】before引导的状语从句。①句型A：it+be+一段时间+before…：意思是“要过很久才会……”。例：The field research will take John and Mike about five months;it will be a long time before we meet them again.实地考察要花约翰和迈克五个月的时间;他们过很久才会再见面。②句型B：it was some time before…：意思是“在……之前过了一段时间”。例：He was told that it would be at least three more months before he could recover and return to work.他被告知至少过三个月才能康复，重返工作岗位。

90.keep pace with the constantly increasing demands of consumers或keep up with the constantly growing needs of consumers

【结构分析】本句的主语是Production，谓语是has to be increased，后面的to keep pace with the constantly increasing demands of consumers是目的状语。

【要点解析】 ① 固定搭配“与……保持同步”，可以翻译为keep pace with 或keep up with。②“不断增长的”，可以翻译为increasing，growing或rising。③“需求”可翻译为demands或needs。④“消费者”翻译为consumer。

【原句精译】只有大幅提高产量才能与消费者不断增长的需求保持同步。

【能力拓展】①keep pace with和……并驾齐驱，跟上 例：We must work hard to keep pace with the development of modern technology.我们必须努力学习才能跟上现代科技的发展。②keep up with赶得上，和……保持联系 例：Students must work hard to keep up with their school work.学生必须努力学习才能跟上功课。

91.the fewer chances you will have of catching a cold

【结构分析】本句的前半部分是从句，后半部分是主句。主句的主语是You。谓语是will have。【要点解析】本题主要考查 the more，the less的用法。其用法与the more，the more一致，可翻译为“越……越……”。①固定搭配“可能做某事”，可翻译为be likely to do sth;②固定搭配“感冒”，可翻译为catch a cold。

【原句精译】锻炼越多，你越不大可能感冒。

【能力拓展】“越……越……”句型：这种句型表达为：the+比较级+句子，the+比较级+句子。若the more修饰名词，则名词要提前，直接置于the more后，如试题中句子：The more exercise you take, the fewer chances you will have of catching a cold

2014年6月英语四级听力真题（第一套）

1.B 本题考查计划或者建议。考点在第二个男士的提议。Use a ladder to help her reach the tea.strain: v.表示拉伸，扭伤，strain your shoulder 拉伤肩膀。

2.D 本题考查对话场景。通过女士提到的“new exhibits”和男士提到的“favorite painters”可推出：Outsidean art gallery.3.B 本题考查语义推断。考点在第二个女士的回应，面对男士的说法，她并没有表示认同，而是婉转表达了质疑。“unfair evaluation”意思是“不公平的评价”。

4.C 2014年6月四级听力短对话解析：本题考查事实细节。考点在第二个男士的话。原文中男士说的 “dosome of them”指的就是修理书架。

5.D 本题考查因果关系。考点在第二个男士所解释的原因。“position”即“职位”，“firm”即“公司”，“turndown”是拒绝的意思，与问题中的“quit”即“放弃，辞职”的意思相同。

6.A 本题考查转折关系。考点在第二个男士语义转折之后的内容。选项 中的“finish”同义替换原文中的 “getit over”，而 “as soon as possible”则改写了

“within this weekend”.7.D 本题考查事实细节。考点在第二个男士所说的话，习惯用语 “dirt cheap”就是“很便宜，白菜价”的意思。选项D中的 “inexpensive”同义改写了“dirt cheap”。

8.B 本题考查语义推断。考点要结合女士的提问和男士的回答。“mechanic”指“机械工”，“busrepairers”指“公车修理师”。Conversation One：

9.2014年6月四级听力长对话解析：前2句都是礼节性问答，第3句开始出现新人物 “Janet Holmes”, 即考点预警信号。关键信息就是女士接下来的回答： submitted a job application提交工作申请，asked her infor an interview 通知她面试，对应A选项：She had a job interview to attend.10.2014年6月四级听力长对话解析：前文刚刚提到“Janet Holmes”所遇到的问题(因面试不能上课交作业)，接着就提到了解决这一问题的方法，关键听取原文中“I’m calling to see whether it would be OK if Igave you her essay.”对应选项C：Submit her roommate’s assignment。

11.2014年6月四级听力长对话解析：从四个选项都以特殊疑问词开头的特征可以预判，本题考点是某人的疑问。关键信息是女士在最后所提到的问题：“And Dr.Ellis, one more thing, could you tell me whereyour office is?”对应选项A.Where Dr.Ellis’s office is located.Conversation Two：

12.2014年6月四级听力长对话解析：第一题完全符合“前3句出考点”的套路，考点信息出现在明显的信号词 “But”之后：“But it’s bearable now that I’ m used to it”。bearable 表示可以忍受的，be used to 表示为习惯做某事。对应选项C：He can handle it quite well.13.2014年6月四级听力长对话解析：本题考查时间细节，所听即所选。关键信息是“It was terrible atfirst, especially getting up before dawn to catch that 6:30 train” 对应选项B：The 6:30 train.14.2014年6月四级听力长对话解析：本题考点再次出现在明显信号词But之后：“But now I quite enjoyit.”对应选项C：The time on the train is enjoyable 15.2014年6月四级听力长对话解析：长对话最后一题往往对应整个对话的结尾部分。女士最后问男士在车上如何消磨时光，男士的回答则是考点信息：“In the morning, I just sit in comfort and read the papersto catch up with the news.”对应选项A：Reading newspapers.Section B 16.2014年6月四级听力短文解析：根据短文理解“前3句出考点”原则，如果本文前1、2句的因果关系没有成为考点，考点则顺延到第3句和第4句，关键信息为“They need to extract as much information aspossible from the first or second reading.” extract表示提取、选取，对应选项D：Get keyinformation by reading just once or twice.17.2014年6月四级听力短文解析：从第二段开始，marking skill被反复提到，无疑是重要考点。就做标记的技巧，作者一共提了3个建议，其中

“Third, decide on your own system for marking”几乎完整地被选项A照搬下来：Choose one's own system of marking.根据所听基本即所选原则，答案就是A。18.2014年6月四级听力短文解析：最后一题考察了转折结构，考点信息出现在明显的信号词 ‘Instead”之后：“Instead, you just need to review your marks and you can save a lot of time.”对应选项B：Byreviewing only the marked parts.19.2014年6月四级听力短文解析：答案出现在明显的信号词 “But”之后，即：“But everyone needs somerest to stay alive.”对应选项D：Everybody needs some sleep for survival.20.2014年6月四级听力短文解析：答案出现在明显的信号词 “But”之后，即：“But a man named AlHerpin turned out to be a rare exception”对应选项C：It is a rare exception.rare表示稀有的，少见的。

21.2014年6月四级听力短文解析：根据顺序出题原则，本题对应文章结尾部分。文章最后提到医生对AlHerpin不用睡觉感到困惑，紧接着就解释了原因。“clue”（表示线索）是本题的考点信号词，随后就是考点信息:“He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he hadbeen born.” 对应选项B：His mother's injury just before his birth.22.2014年6月四级听力短文解析：本题略有难度。考点即没有出现在前3句话，也没有出现在明显的信号词之后，但是只要提前记好了本题关键词，根据“所听基本即所选”原则还是可以找到答案C：She developed a strong interest in finance.该选项对应原文信息

“At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and openedher own bank account.”

23.2014年6月四级听力短文解析：本题略有难度。考点紧跟在上一题考点句之后，即 “Her father diedwhen she was 21 and she inherited 7.5 million dollars.”对应选项D.She inherited a big fortunefrom her father.24.2014年6月四级听力短文解析：本题难度较大。错误选项中的细节有较强干扰性，但如果考生对最后一段的整体结构有所把握，并且知道第一句中提到的“meanness”的意思，即：吝啬，小气，就能理解后文内容都属于次要信息，是对meanness的举例说明。对应选项A.She was extremely mean with her money.25.2014年6月四级听力短文解析：本题考点就是本文最后一句话 “her daughter built a hospital with hermoney”对应选项B.She built a hospital with her mother's money.26.identical 27.approach 28.back and forth 29.opposite 30.indicates 31.referring to 32.parallel to 33.reserved 34.at a right angle 35.embarrassing

第五篇：六月份四级英语的答案

2010年6月英语四级答案完整版四级作文

1、如今不少学生在英语学习中不重视拼写；

2、出现这个现象的原因是

3、为了改变这种状况，我认为

范文：Due Attention Should Be Given to Spelling

They say “mind breeds physiognomy”，which implies the importance of one’s appearance.Similarly, a correct and neat spelling of a composition can not only reflect a success of the composition but embodie the decent disposition of the writer as well.Unfortunately , a great number of students pay little attention to their spelling though their composition turns out quite good either in content or in logic, thus leaving the teacher in a dilemma whether to give a high score or not。Tracing the reasons hidden behind, we can easily find it is mainly because some students are unaware of the importance of the spelling.In their minds, the content absolutely outweighs the form so the attention to spelling can be pleasantly spared.Objectively speaking, in the examination, the limited time and urgent situation make students have no more effort to care about their spelling and the fact is that they have to write as quickly as possible to finish it on time, leaving some characters vague or incorrect。

Just as is said above, spelling, in a sense , mirrors the content, so a direct result of the bad spelling is the low academic score in the exam for it is hard to expect a text full of undistinguishable words toreceive a good appreciation.Further, once the habit of lax spelling was formed, in a long run the quality of being negligence could also be gradually shaped, which would undoubtedly exert negative impact for our future work and life。

点评：

此次的作文主题与以往四级考试有所不同。以往主题主要关注学生的生活、就业、社会问题等，而此次作文主题落脚点与学生的学习本身有关。议论英语学习中忽视单词拼写的问题，这样的主题更好地体现出了英语学习目的与英语考试目的的结合，使考生切身体会到英语学习当中词语拼写的重要性。

这样的作文其实对考生本身来说难度并不大，因为考生自己在英语学习的过程中必然会忽视词汇的拼写，加之日常生活中文字的电子处理手段的日益增多，自动纠错功能更是会让考生不经意间就失去了单词拼写的感觉。因此，对于这样的文章，考生可以从自己的切身体会出发，分析自己在日常的学习中有无此类现象以及产生此类现象的原因，进行简单的构思从而把整篇文章整理出来。

此次的作文还是一篇小型的议论文。按照四级作文的格式要求，第一段我们还是总起说明现在在学生中间存在着忽视英语单词拼写的现象，这种现象给学生的写作带来了很大的问题和影响从而引起了学校和老师的担忧。

第二段主要还是分析产生这种现象的主要原因。首先我们可以从考试制度方面来说，现在的很多考试都是仅仅是因为考试而学习，这必然使得学生在学习的时候仅仅浮于表面而忽视了一些细节问题，如单词的拼写；其次，许多老师在教学过程当中也忽视了单词拼写的重要性，这必然也会在心理上对学生产生影响——即拼写不重要，因此老师也是一个方面的原因；此外，学生自己懒惰不愿背诵单词也是一个很大的原因。

第三段主要写自己怎样去解决问题。此处我们可以根据第二段的原因有针对性地列出几个方法，如可以从考试入手让学生注重拼写，还有就是学校应当建立体制让老师和学生都认识到拼写的重要性，最后就是学生自己也要通过各种途径发现拼写单词的乐趣等等。

此次的作文很贴近考生的日常学习生活，所以对考生来说难度不大，只要做好相应的分析，列出解决的方法，一篇好的作文就不难了。
