第一篇：2011年12月大学英语四级考试试题及答案详析

2011年12月大学英语四级考试

Directions: You're allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will by commenting on the humorous saying, “Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world.I've done it hundreds of time.”You'd write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.Outlines:

1.坚强的意志是成功的重要保证。

2.意志坚定的人才能完成伟大的使命

3.学生也是这样，不刻苦学习，终究不会成为有用之才

Nothing succeeds without a strong will

There is a prevalent joke around young people saying that ‘quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world, and I’ve done it for hundreds of times.’ This seemingly funny statement ironically reflects the fact that the determination of most youngsters is oftentimes started with enthusiasm, but the passion becomes increasingly weaker each day, and then diminishes as if there has been no such thing at all.It is obvious that their failure in ‘quitting smoking’ and decline of determination are all ascribed to their lack of will.Initially, every success involves several stages of setbacks and risks, and we need to summon up our will to conquer them.Moreover, there are enormous temptation in our path of pursuit of success.For instance, when we plan to quit smoking, our roommates may smoke freely in front of us;when we are eager to keep fit, our close friends may invite us to have late night snacks.Under these occasions, only strong will can assist us to resist the temptation, and persist in chasing our goals until we triumphantly realize them.In short, no dream will successfully come true if we do not have strong will.An old famous proverb says that ‘ where there is a will, there is a way’.Let us bear this motton in mind no matter how many thunders and thorns are on our roads ahead, then we will be successful with such precious and powerful spirit.Listening Comprehension短对话 Section A 11.W: This crazy bus schedule has got me completely confused.I can’t figure out when my bus to Cleveland leaves? M: Why don’t you just go to the ticket window and ask? Q: What does the man suggest the woman do? 【答案】B)Go and ask the staff.【解析】这是一道事实细节题。从对话中可知，女士搞不清楚列车时刻表，男士建议她去售票窗口咨询。ticket window售票窗口。12.W: I really enjoyed the TV special about drafts last night.Did you get home in time to see it? W: Oh, yes, but I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see the whole thing.Q: What does the man mean? 【答案】A)He fell asleep in the middle of the TV program.【解析】这是道推理判断题，考查男士的言下之意以及虚拟语气。could have done意为本可以做某事，但未做。从对话中可知，男士确实回家看了电视节目，但是他说道：I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see the whole thing.我真希望自己当时能再晚点睡着，这样我就可以看完整场节目了。说明他没有看完整场节目就睡着了。13.W: Airport, please.I’m running a little late.So just take the fastest way even if it’s not the most direct.M: Sure, but there is a lot of traffic everywhere today because of the football game.Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation? 【答案】B)She is worried about missing her flight.【解析】这是道场景题，略有难度。刚开始，我们还无法很快判断出该对话发生的场景，很多同学一听到airport可能会误以为对话发生在机场，但如果我们继续听下去，就会发现，该对话应该发生在出租车上，因为女士说了句“请选择最快的路”，而男士说“因为有球赛，所以到处都交通拥堵”可以帮助我们再次确认对话发生的场景。选项A不对，原文是说要挑the fastest way哪怕不是the most direct way;选项C也不准确，才刚上车，并没有拥堵，司机只是提前说明因为球赛会碰到拥堵;选项D错误，女士是为了赶去乘飞机的，而不是去看球赛。14.W: May I make a recommendation, sir? Our seafood with this special sauce is very good.M: Thank you, but I don’t eat shellfish.I’m allergic to it.Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place? 【答案】A)In a restaurant 【解析】这是道场景题，较为简单。从对话中可知，女士希望向男士推荐一道菜，从首句中即可推断出该对话最有可能发生在餐馆中，男士说，他过敏，不吃贝壳类海鲜，可以帮助我们再次确认对话发生的场景。15.W: Now one more question if you don’t mind, what position in the company appeals to you most? M: Well, I’d like the position of sales manager if that position is still vacant.Q: What do we learn about the man? 【答案】A)He is being interviewed for a job.【解析】这是较为简单的细节推理题。从position, company这几个关键词中，我们就可以快速判断出此题的场景为面试，因此男士应该正在接受一场面试。C选项错误，他想要销售经理的职位，但并不表示他本身就是销售经理。16.M: I don’t think I want to live in the dormitory next year.I need more privacy.W: I know what you mean.But check out the cost if renting an apartment first.I won’t be surprised if you change your mind.Q: What does the woman imply? 【答案】B)The man is unlikely to move out of the dormitory.【解析】这是推理判断题，询问女士的言下之意。最后一句，女士表示“你改变主意的话，我不会觉得奇怪”，可知，男士不太可能搬出宿舍。A选项是个干扰项，虽然该选项看上去意思和B选项差不多，但对话中并没有提到男士想找一个更安静的地方，他想搬离寝室，是为了更多的个人空间。17.M: You’re on the right track.I just think you need to narrow the topic down.W: Yeah, you’re right.I always start by choosing two boarder topics when I’m doing a research paper.Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 【答案】D)The woman is going to make her topic more focused.【解析】这是推理判断题。从对话中可知，男士希望女士缩小主题的范围，女士回答“你是对的。”说明女士会采纳男士的建议，缩小主题。18.W: This picnic should beat the last one we went to, doesn’t it? M: Oh, yeah, we had to spend the whole time inside.Good thing, the weather was cooperative this time.Q: What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation? 【答案】B)They didn’t quite enjoy their last picnic.【解析】这是推理判断题。beat一词是个难点，beat本意有“打败”的意思，这次的野餐打败了上次，即这次比上次好，下文中，男士说“上次我们不得不呆在室内，但这次天气不错。”可以再次确认他们不喜欢上次的野餐，因此，正确答案为B。Listening Comprehension长对话2 Conversation One 听力原文

M: When I say I live in Sweden, people always want to know about the seasons.W: The seasons? M: Yeah, you know how cold it is in winter? What is it like when the days are so short? W: So what is it like? M: Well, it is cold, very cold in winter.Sometimes it is cold as 26 degrees below centigrade.And of course when you go out, you’ll wrap up warm.But inside in the houses it’s always very warm, much warmer than at home.Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter.W: And what about the darkness? M: Well, yeah, around Christmas time there’s only one hour of daylight, so you really looks forward to the spring.It is sometimes a bit depressing.But you see the summers are amazing, from May to July in the North of Sweden the sun never sets.It’s still light in the midnight.You can walk in the mountains and read a newspaper.W: Oh, yeah, the land of the midnight sun.M: Yeah, that’s right, but it’s wonderful.You want to stay up all night, and the Sweden’s made most of it.Often they.And the Swedes makes most of it often they started work earlier in summer and then leave at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so that they can really enjoy the long summer evenings.They’d like to work hard, but play hard, too.I think Londoners work longer hours, but I’m not sure this is a good thing.19.A)He likes Sweden better than England.B)He prefers hot weather to cold weather.C)He is an English living in Sweden.D)He visits London nearly every winter.19.What do we learn about the man from the conversation? B)He prefers hot weather to cold weather.解析：本题为推断题。根据文章大意可推断得出。整篇文章中，分别有两处暗示信息，一处是男士说，“Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter.”，瑞典人在冬天去拜访英格兰时，会抱怨英格兰室温太冷。另一处是男士在谈到冬天天气时，说道：“It is sometimes a bit depressing.”长时间寒冷的天气令人沮丧。因此可推断得出，男士更喜欢hot weather，热天气。所以，答案为：He prefers hot weather to cold weather.20.A)The bad weather B)The cold houses.C)The gloomy winter.D)The long night.20.What do Swedish people complain about when they visit England in winter? B)The cold houses.解析：对话中，当男士介绍瑞典的极寒天气时，谈到只要穿暖，出门很暖，而室内更暖和，为了强调这一观点，男士继续说道：“Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter.”说是瑞典人在冬天去拜访英格兰时，会抱怨英格兰室温太冷。所以，答案为：The cold houses.21.A)Delightful.B)Painful.C)Depressing.D)Refreshing.21.How does the man describe the short hour of daylight around Christmas in Sweden? C)Depressing.解析：

女士问：“And what about the darkness?”男士答道：“around Christmas time there’s only one hour of daylight, so you really looks forward to the spring.”临近圣诞节的时候，每天仅有一小时为白天，所以人们都非常向往春天，希望春天快点到来。然后，进一步强调性地评论道：“It is sometimes a bit depressing.”有时候真有点令人沮丧。因此，本题答案为：Depressing.22.A)They often stay up late reading.B)They work hard and play hard.C)They like to go camping in summer.D)They try to earn more and spend more.22.What does the man say about the Swedish people? B)They work hard and play hard.解析：

男士在谈到瑞典的极昼天气时，着重谈了瑞典人在极昼天气的工作情况，并进一步对瑞典人的工作习惯进行了评价。男士说道：“They’d like to work hard, but play hard, too.”瑞典人既能在工作时努力工作，又能在能玩时拼命玩。所以，本题答案为：They work hard and play hard.这篇长对话是围绕瑞典的天气展开，主要谈到瑞典冬天的极寒和夏天的极昼天气。文章一开头即说到人们喜欢询问瑞典的季节情况。接下来对具体情况进行了描述，包括：极寒天气下的气温、室外和室内温度状况，另外，就瑞典室温与英国室温进行了对比，再次强调证明瑞典室温很高;而极昼天气则谈的是瑞典人的工作时间和工作习惯，另外，就瑞典人工作时认真忙、能玩时拼命玩的习惯和英国人工作勤奋、工作时间长进行了对比。

这篇对话考查细节信息抓取能力。整体难度不大，并且以男士提供的信息为主。但许多考生可能因为对瑞典(Sweden)和与瑞典相关的一系列名词不熟悉而纠结，因此忽略了真正需要听清的其实并不太难的关键信息。这就提醒大家在做题时，切勿因为个别词语不熟悉，而慌张。

Conversation Two 听力原文

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.W: What kind of training does one need to go into this type of job? M: That’s a very good question.I don’t think there is any, specifically.W: For example, in your case, what was your educational background? M: Well, I did a degree in French at Nottingham.After that, I did careers work in secondary schools like the careers guidance people here is in the university.Then I went into local government because I found I was more interested in the administrative side.Then progressed on to universities.So there wasn’t any plan and there was no specific training.There are plenty of training courses in management techniques and committee work which you can attend now.W: But in the first place, you did a French degree.M: In my time, there wasn’t a degree you could do for administration.I think most of the administrators I’ve come across have degrees and all sorts of things.W: Well, I know in my case, I did an English literature degree and I didn’t really expect to end up doing what I am doing now.M: Quite.W: But you are local to Nottingham, actually? Is there any reason why you went to Nottingham University? M: No, no, I come from the north of England, from west Yorkshire.Nottingham was one of the universities I put on my list.And I like the look of it.The campus is just beautiful.W: Yes, indeed.Let’s see.Were you from the industrial part of Yorkshire? M: Yes, from the Woolen District.23.A)Management.B)French C)English literature D)Public Administration 23.What was the man’s major at university? 答案：B)French.解析：细节题。在第二轮对话中，女士问，“what was your educational background?”你是什么教育背景，男士回答说：“I did a degree in French at Nottingham.” 我在诺丁汉大学攻读了法语学位，所以男士的专业是French。24.A)English teaching.B)Staff training.C)Careers guidance.D)Psychological counseling 24.What was the man’s job in secondary schools? 答案：C)careers guidance.解析：细节题。在说完“I did a degree in French at Nottingham.”之后，男士又接着说“After that, I did careers guidance in secondary schools.”因此，此题的答案应为：careers guidance。25.A)Its pleasant environment.B)Its worldwide fame.C)Its generous scholarship.D)Its well-designed courses.25.What attracted the man to Nottingham University? 答案：B)Its pleasant environment.解析：细节题。女士问：“Is there any reason why you went to Nottingham University?”你去诺丁汉大学是出于什么原因?男士在回答中说到，诺丁汉是我心中理想大学之一。紧接着他就说道：“And I like the look of it.”还进一步补充说明道：“ The campus is just beautiful.”因此，男士是因被其优雅环境所吸引而选择去诺丁汉大学。所以，本题的答案为：Its pleasant environment.这篇长对话围绕男士的教育背景和职业发展展开。按顺序分别谈到男士从诺丁汉大学法语专业，毕业之后去了中学和政府工作，然后又进入了大学管理层。这期间，他并没有刻意做过任何的职业发展计划，也没有接受过专门的相关职业培训，主要是因为在他的读书时代，并没有可攻读的管理学学位。对话最后谈到了男士去诺丁汉大学读书的原因是被其校园的优美风景所吸引。这篇对话有一定难度。特别是关于男士职业的说法，考生未必熟悉。但考生不必紧张，因为主要的细节考查中，专业是法语、因为环境优雅所以选择诺丁汉大学这两题都不难听出。Listening Comprehension短文 Section B Passage One While Gail Obcamp, an American artist was giving a speech on the art of Japanese brush painting to an audience that included visitors from Japan, she was confused to see that many of her Japanese listeners have their eyes closed.Were they tuned off because an American had the nerve to instruct Japanese in their own art form? Were they deliberately tried to signal their rejection of her? Obcamp later found out that her listeners were not being disrespectful.Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes to enhance concentration.Her listeners were showing their respect for her by chewing on her words.Some day you may be either a speaker or a listener in a situation involving people from other countries or members of a minority group in North America.Learning how different cultures signal respect can help you avoid misunderstandings.Here are some examples.In the deaf culture of North America, Many listeners show applause not by clapping their hands but by waving them in the air.In some cultures, both overseas and in some minority groups in North America, listeners are considered disrespectful if they look directly at the speaker.Respect is shown by looking in the general direction but avoiding direct eye contact.In some countries, whistling by listeners is a sign of approval while in other courtiers it is a form of insult.听力点睛：

本文主要介绍不同文化中都是如何表示尊重的，以及如何利用这点来避免跨文化交流中的误会产生。一开始先用一位美国艺术家Gail Obcamp做演讲的故事来举例子，引出对闭上眼睛这样一种动作不同的理解;继而发表了作者的看法：在和不同文化的人交流的时候，如果你懂得其他文化中是如何表达尊重的，可以避免误会;接着又是例子，是关于北美洲聋哑人是如何用动作来交流的。还有一些国家，对同样的手势会有截然不同的理解，进一步验证了作者的观点。做这篇题目的重点在于能够迅速拎出来作者的观点。

这篇文章讲述了Chris在职场上的一次经历。

Chris在Taxlong公司负责采购和维修设备。他即将要和领导针对过去一年的工作进行一个回顾总结，他心里希望可以得到晋升。在过去这一年里，他也做了不少贡献，买了许多能够提高效率的设备，但是他手下有两个职员因为偷窃而被开除了。除此以外，公司里面还有一个女同事Kim，是他这次晋级的竞争对手，她也一样很优秀。这篇文章没有什么生词，难度较低。题目中考察细节问题比较多，需要同学们可以准确地在看到题目之后locate文章中对应题目的是哪一部分。

这篇文章是一篇说明文。

从科学客观的角度讲述了Proverb谚语的一些知识。包括它的定义-----是老一辈人传给后代的生活经验，生活价值观。不同国家，不同文化中的谚语往往可以揭示不同的价值观。如果能够理解其他文化的谚语，价值观，那么会在跨文化交际中避免很多麻烦。作者又提到，一些谚语年代久远。其中包含的价值观随着时代的变迁可能重要性也发生了改变。并且举了Haste makes waste.和Time is money.这样两个例子。

作者最后再次表明，通过学习不同国家的谚语，会发现一些国家会有相同或者相似的价值观，只是有可能表达的方式有所不同而已。这篇说明文对考生的要求在于快速划分出作者想说明的几个点。一般通常写说明文章的顺序都是先说明要点，然后用一些事实来进一步说明。

Questions 32-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33 Why are proverbs so important? A)They help us see the important values of a culture.B)They guide us in handling human relationships.C)They help us express ourselves more effectively.D)They are an infinite source of human knowledge.答案：A)They help us see the important values of a culture.34 According to the speaker what happens to some proverbs with the passage of time? A)Their wordings may become different.B)The values they reflect may change.C)Their origins can no longer be traced.D)They may be misinterpreted.答案：B)The values they reflect may change.35 What do we learn from the study of proverbs from around the world? Section C

Compound Dictation

Our lives are woven together.As much as I enjoy my own company, I no longer imagine I can get through a single day much less all my life completely on my own.Even if I am on vacation in the mountains, I am eating food someone else has grown, living in a house someone else has built, wearing clothes someone else has sewn from cloth woven by others, using electricity someone else is distributing to my house.Evidence of interdependence is everywhere;we are on this journey together.As I was growing up, I remember being carefully taught that independence not interdependence was everything.“Make your own way”,” Stand on your own two feet” or my mother’s favorite remark when I was face-to-face with consequences of some action: Now that you’ve made your bed, lie on it.Total independence is a dominant thing in our culture.I imagine that what my parents were trying to teach me was to take responsibilities for my actions and my choices.But the teaching was shaped by our cultural imagines.And instead, I grew up believing that I was supposed to be totally independent and consequently became very reluctant to ask for help.I would do almost anything not to be a burden, and not require any help from anybody.Reading Comprehension阅读汇总

【解析】这是一篇讨论能源资源的说明文，话题是考生比较熟悉的能源问题，不断增长的人口与可再生资源的矛盾该如何解决。文中指出能源的一些可替代形式如生物能源、风能太阳能等可再生资源将在未来发挥越来越重要的作用。但是专家指出，即使这些资源储备量惊人，但是到2050年也只能满足世界30%的需求。文章最后两段探讨了各能源在市场上的需求，以及解决未来能源需求的其他方案。

总体来说，这篇文章理解难度不大，填空难度适中，所选词汇也都是四级考纲的词汇。选项较具有干扰项，多为c和s开头的单词，考生在考试时要特别注意。

Section B

Passage One

57, C encourage boys to express their emotions freely

58, A perform relatively better

59, C It fails to give boys the attention they need

60, A teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys

61, C They have sharper vision

【解析】这篇文章针对传统的男女生一起上学，一起接受教育提出了质疑。作者从文章一开头就表明了自己的看法：对于男生而言，单性教育，即男生们一起上学会对男生的身心发展更为有利。文中出现一个短语，received wisdom，即是“人们普遍的看法，公认的看法”。也是作者所批判的一种观点。传统观点认为，男生和女生混合教育会对男生发展更有利。

但是作者认为单性教育对男生有以下几个好处：可以让男生们更自由地表达自己的情感，可以学习自己感兴趣的艺术，舞蹈，音乐等学科。不用去遵守人们在传统印象中对男生的期盼。而且单性教育可以针对男生的身心发展特点而制定学习计划。

并且作者觉得，目前英国教育把女生当做关注重点，忽视了对男生的重视。

Passage Two

62.C.It makes all the hard work worthwhile.63.D.Disputes over money may ruin a relationship.64.A.conflicts between couples tend to rise

65.D.men and women view money in different ways.66.C.discuss money matters to maintain a healthy relationship.【解析】这是一篇关于金钱对夫妻关系的影响的文章。文中第一段主要通过度假这件事来体现不同人对待金钱的不同态度。作者认为人只能活一次，如果不能去度假的话，那么工作再努力也没有意义。第二段主要谈到了大萧条时期，不太良好的经济状况常常会影响夫妻关系，可能会导致争吵，甚至会导致离婚或者分居的成本增加，对夫妻感情造成伤害。第三段讲了Kim Stephenson，一个心理学家的观点，即男人和女人对待金钱的态度是不一样的，男人把金钱看作是得到社会地位的途径，看作向父母展现自己成功的一种方式。第四段，作者建议夫妻可以对金钱持有不同的观点，但是不可以对它采取回避的态度，避而不谈。

相对来说，这篇文章的难度比较大。文章看懂并不难，但是题目中，推理题和大意题比较多，需要在充分理解作者意图，了解文章主旨的基础上，才能选出正确答案。Part V Cloze

【评析】这是一篇讨论“雇主和他们所需要的大学生技能” 的文章。今年四级的完型填空，涉及5处名词，2处介词，6处动词，4处形容词和3处副词。第82题稍难，像80和85都可以通过上下文判断出来，其余部分只要在句子内部或者句子之间进行上下文逻辑比对或语法搭配，即可完成。词义辨析考查较多，考查学生词汇的储备量，因此，考生要特别注意四级词汇的牢固掌握。

67.【答案】reveals

【解析】第一段提出话题，“据一项最新调查显示，现在的雇主们害怕他们雇不到符合要求的毕业生”，launch意思为“发起一场运动”，submit意为“提交，服从”，generate生成，reveal透露，揭露，显示。这里根据段意，reveal最合适。

68.【答案】staff

【解析】根据句意，基本有一半的组织机构告诉调查者他们在努力寻找具有四个方面(科学、技术、工程和数学)才能的职员。这里partners，audience, officials显然不符合题意。

69.【答案】while

【解析】这里和前面已经叙述的事实构成并列，“同时，更多公司预测，接下来的三年他们都将会遭遇雇员四缺现象(科学、技术、工程和数学知识技能欠缺)”，因此排除其他三项。选while。

70.【答案】shortages

【解析】由第二段句首struggling可判断，机构组织寻找这些人才非常不易，那么这种人才显然是不够的，短缺的。absence是表示“缺席，不在”，不能描述短缺，因此排除。此题的另一个关键是确定experience的词性，动词。

71.【答案】surveyed

【解析】第三段用一句话简介经过工业联盟调查了69个行业和组织，首先排除D和C，search是指搜查;细查某处以搜寻某人或某物，搜索;而survey是指调查某部分人的行为、意见等(通常以询问方式进行)，符合题意。

72.【答案】private

【解析】根据上一题的意思，调查在公共和私人部门中展开，后面一句的together暗示and后面的这个空是和“公共的”对立的，因此填private。

73.【答案】concerned

【解析】第四段描写了这个调查的具体情况。有一半人…，这里缺少动词，confront一般和with连用，conform 符合，遵照，confuse 使混乱，使困惑，这里根据上下文的意思，雇主们都担心这种现象的发生，因此选concerned, be concerned 担心的，烦恼的，忧虑的。

74.【答案】recruit

【解析】本题考查词义辨析，三分之一的被调查者坦言他们可能顾不到符合相应资质的雇员，只有recruit符合题意。

75.【答案】As

【解析】根据句子结构判断，前半句是一个伴随状语，“随着…的深入进行，…需求越来越强”，而不是条件状语或让步状语。

76.【答案】for

【解析】这里考查介词搭配。这里侧重于描述执行进展的计划的目的，选for。

77.【答案】intensify

【解析】本题考查词义辨析。根据前文，这种需求是不断增加的，intensify 增强，强化，变激烈;dominate指在…中占主导地位，这里并没有给出一个具体的范围，不符合句意。enforce 实施，执行;stretch 伸展。

78.【答案】technical

【解析】本题比较简单，属于送分题。前卖第二段已经指出在四个方面技能欠缺，选项中显然只有technical符合文意。

79.【答案】priority

【解析】这里考查短语固定搭配。make…a top priority 让…成为首要任务，当务之急。

80.【答案】subjects

【解析】这里鼓励年轻人学习科学相关的学科，从倒数第二段也可判断。academy 学院，研究院;procedure 步骤，程序，thought 思想，不符题意，排除。81.【答案】if

【解析】这里考查考生对前后两个完整的句子的关系的理解，主句中的would是一个虚拟语气的标志词，据此代入选项if，通读上下文，符合题意之后确定。

82.【答案】rate

【解析】词义辨析题。rate评定某人、某事物的价值;order 命令，整理;discuss 讨论，论述，observe 观察，遵守。根据文意，雇主们认为A-levels中价值最低的学科是心理学和社会学，因此选rate。

83.【答案】particular

【解析】文章指出现在雇主们需要的是具备Stem四方面素质的人才，因此许多雇主们不赞成对某一特殊学科的专业学位，而非typical典型的，general一般的，或者是积极的positive。

84.【答案】highlighted

【解析】词义辨析题。根据最后一句，该研究“强调” 对…的担忧, focus一般和on连用，其余两项意义不符。

85.【答案】workforce

【解析】词义辨析题。“提高英国劳动力的基本技能”，masses 民众，faculty 全体教员，community 社区，团体;整篇文章都在讨论就业和雇佣，显然选workforce。

86.【答案】where

【解析】考查定语关系副词。这个定语从句完整，由此判断缺少关系副词，首先排除A,B两个关系代词,再根据意思排除why。

Part VI Translation

87.Charity groups organized various activities to raise money for the survivors of the earthquake.(为地震幸存者筹款)

【解析】本题考察动词raise的用法。raise money 表示“筹款”。同时考生要注意survivor(幸存者)的拼写。

88.Linda couldn’t have received my e-mail(不可能收到我的电子邮件), otherwise, she could have replied.【解析】本题考察混合型虚拟语气。otherwise提示我们句子后半句是与过去事实相反(事实是Linda没有回复)，因此用could+have+过去分词。句子前半句是在陈述一种事实，从句子后半句could have +过去分词我们可以推断前面“没有收到我的电子邮件”也是在发生在过去，且对现在产生了影响(还没有收到回信)，因此这里用现在完成时，could have +过去分词。

89.It’s my mother who/that keeps encouraging me not to lose heart(一直鼓励我不要灰心)when I have difficulties in my study.【解析】本题考察了强调句型和动词encourage的搭配。①强调句型it’s … that/who… ②encourage sb.(not)to do sth.鼓励某人(不)做某事。

90.The publishing house has to consider the popularity of this novel.(考虑这本小说的受欢迎程度)。

【解析】本题考察了“考虑”的表达，可以用动词consider，也可以用词组take… into consideration。同时考生要注意名词popularity(受欢迎程度)的拼写。

91.It’s wrong to define happiness only by money.(仅仅以金钱来定义幸福)

【解析】本题考察了“定义”的表达，为define。

1,语境题.本题的解答有赖于对上下文的理解.文章开头的第一句是主题句,意思是作为一个到过很多地方的医生,我在飞机上花费了很多时间,听到了那样的可怕的事情 “飞机上有医生吗?”.而第二句是讲自己曾经经历过一次这样的事情.作者作为医生,是被叫到去救人的.所以考察四个选项,call是做合适的.2,语境题.分析上下文可知,该题所填入的词是指上一句中我经历的那件事,考察四个选项,可知应该选accident,其意思为事故,意外的事情.本题有可能误选condition,这是由于受到中文表达的影响,只要分析上下文的语态,就可以排除condition.3,语境题.本题首先应该明确四个选项词汇各表示什么.how soon指在多长时间之后,how long指多长的时段,how many值数量的多少,how often指事情发生的频率.在分析本句话how __3__ this kind of thing happens.由this kind of thing可以首先排除how many,再根据中文表达习惯,可以确定应该选择how often,意思为这样的事情多长时间会发生一次.4,词汇搭配题.本题所填入的词汇须满足两个条件,首先可以和介词with搭配,其次符合上下文的意思.由此可以确定应该选择confront.confront with的意思为使面临, 使面对,本句意思为当遇到这样的半空中的医疗事故.5,词汇搭配题.本题考查access与介词构成短语的意思的辨析.由此可以确定正确答案为access to,意思为接近;通向…的入口.本句话的意思为在没有医护人员和通常的急救设备的情况下.6,语境题.对本题所在的句子完整分析后,前半句话在句中作状语,并且是做时间状语,所以应该选择when.注意在引导时间状语从句时when和while的区别.when，while都有―当……时候‖的意思.when既可表示某一点时间,也可以表示某一段时间.在when引导的时间状语从句中,其谓语动词可以是延续性的,也可以是非延续性的,可与主句中的谓语动词同时发生,也可在其后发生.while只能表示某一段时间,不能表示某一点时间.在while引导的时间状语从句中,其谓语动词只能是延续性的,而且也只能与主句中的谓语动词同时发生或存在.另外,when和while的区别还在于：while引导的时间状语从句多用进行时态,而when引导的时间状语从句多用一般时态.7,词汇搭配题.分析本句话,the New England Journal of Medicine last week __7__ a study about in flight medical events.其主语为the New England Journal of Medicine,宾语为a study,由此可以确定应该选择含有发布意思的publish.8,词汇搭配题.本题考查固定搭配with interest,其意思为有兴趣地,带利息,通过某种关系.9,语境题.本题的解答有赖于对本句话理解,注意到本句中的estimate和every day,并且考察四个选项后,可知应该选择average,即平均每天有三十个空中医疗事件发生.10,语境题.本题乍一看并不知道所填入的形容词到底是什么,但当看到下一句后就可以确定答案.fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints,其意思为昏厥和头昏是最经常发生的疾病.由此可知这些医疗时间都是不太严重的,由此可以确定第十题应该选serious.11,语境题.本题主要考察两个句子之间的逻辑关系,需要综合考虑上下文.上句中说他们中的大部分都不严重,下一句又说他们中的13%严重到要求飞行员改变航线.由此可以确定两句话之间是转折的关系,应该选择but.12,词汇搭配题.本题所填入的词汇需要满足连个条件,首先可以构成*(动词)sb.to do sth.,其次还要符合上下埃文的意思.由此首先可以排除B和C两个选项.require比command的语气要弱,require只是要求,而command含有命令的意思,对于如此紧急的时间,应该选用command.13,语境题.分析本句话The most common of the serious emergencies __13__ heart trouble, strokes, and difficulty breathing.前面总述the serious emergencies,后面是分述几种疾病,由此可以确定应该选择include,其意思为含有,包括.14,语境题.本题乍一看并不知道所填入的形容词到底是什么,但当看到下一句后就可以确定答案.下文中讲如果你在高于海平面5000到8000英尺的地方机舱内的压力就会粗暴的袭击他们自己.由此可以判断出前面所填入的形容词是stressful,意思为有压力的,急迫的.15,语境题.本题考查定语从句的关系代词,分析可知从句的先行词为they,由此可知应该选择who.16,语境题.本题的解答需要考查下一句话.由下句话开头的but可知,前后两个分句的意思是相反的.后面将由心脏病的乘客会由于其血液中的含氧量的降低而发病,说明这些心脏病人很难忍受这种压力.由此可以推断出正常人可以很轻松的应对这种压力,由此可知正确答案为easily.17,词汇搭配题.分析可知,本句话中的主语passengers with heart disease __17__ experience chest pains.其中心语为passengers,其后为其定语,由experience并考察四个选项,确定应该选择used to,意思为过去习惯于…,过去经常….18,词汇搭配题.分析本句话__18__ common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis.注意到句中的problem和is,考察四个选项,首先可以排除any,由于前面没有one,所以可以排除other和another.所以正确答案为one.19,语境题.前面句子讲在飞行中的一个常见问题是所谓的经济舱综合症,再分析本句话__19__ happens, don’t panic....发生,都不要恐慌.句中的__19__ happens为让步状语.由于此处为特指经济舱综合症所以可以排除whatever,所以可以确定正确答案为whenever.20,语境题.分析本句话flights with at __20__ one attendant are starting to install emergency medical kits to treat heart attacks.注意到句中的one attendant,由此可以确定应该选择at least,表示至少.1,didn’t do anything 2,play indispensable roles 3,Even so 4,are being developed 5,remembering all my life

第三篇：大学英语四级考试

大学英语四级考试流程

8：50---9：00试音时间

9：00---9：10播放考场指令，发放作文考卷

9：10取下耳机，开始作文考试

9：35发放含有快速阅读的试题册（但9：40才允许开始做）

9：40---9：55做快速阅读

9：55---10：00收答题卡一（即作文和快速阅读）

9：55---10：00重新戴上耳机，试音寻台，准备听力考试

10：00开始听力考试，电台开始放音

听力结束后完成剩余考项。

11：20全部考试结束。

注释:

1，标准分满分710分=听力248.5＋阅读248.5＋综合测试106.5＋写作106.5。

2，从听力、阅读部分的换算表可以看出，错前两分的时候，标准分扣分严重，1分扣10.5分，错到第3分的时候，标准分扣分有所降低-7分，扣到10分以后，标准分扣分就更低（3分），可见，标准分换算目的是把同学的成绩档次拉开，让特别优秀的同学脱颖而出，要想总分取得630分以上，必须保证很高的正确率，卷面扣的前几分在标准分的权重相当大。这也就解释了为什么考630分以上的同学这么少！据换算，要考630分，阅读和听力部分卷面每部分扣分在3分左右。

3，综合测试的分数权重不大，卷面错1分在标准分中扣的分也相对较少，而且完型填空题量大，得分率不高，在考场上建议大家不要把完型填空耗费掉太多的时间，得不偿失！

4.当你拿到成绩单，上面写着290，那么恭喜你，你的卷面成绩为0分。如果425+，就算顺利通过

第五篇：2012年6月大学英语四级考试答案

2012年6月大学英语四级考试答案

作文参考(A)Nowadays, students attach less importance to the spelling of words in the process of English study.This phenomenon greatly influences students’ writing and brings on worries among teachers.There are possibly three reasons contributing to this phenomenon.First, exam-oriented education makes the students pay less attention to spelling.Second, some teachers should also be responsible for it because they don’t emphasize the importance of spelling during teaching.Last but not least, some students are too lazy to recite words.Since spelling is one of the most important factors in English study, due attention should be given to it.As for me, I think, first, exams should be modified to add some factors into it, which would help students pay more attention to spelling.Then, schools should also set effective mechanisms to help teachers as well as the students to realize the importance.Finally, for students themselves, they can, through other ways, make them be interested in word spelling.Only by these can we surly realize the importance of spelling and make improvement.(B)What is hot for 2012 in our colleges? It is the spelling mistakes.Countless students lack due attention to spelling.Taking a look around, we can find examples too numerous to list, the one may be “challenge”.Freshman and sophomore almost write this word as “challenge”.How careless they are!

Why such a phenomenon sweeps every university? Some experts attribute it to students’ inattention, because students always pay no attention to spelling.However, other experts argue, the teachers should be blamed for this situation.In my opinion, it is far beyond any reasonable doubt that both of them should exert themselves to change the spelling mistakes.As far as I’m concerned, I firmly argue that we need to attach great importance to word-spelling.To the students, they should write English as much as they can.Meanwhile, to the teachers, the dictations should be reinforced in the class.快速阅读

1.A)her daughers' repeated complains 根据第一段最后一句”but it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem.” 直到她的四个女儿不停的抱怨，她才意识到自己出了问题。

2.D)People haven't yet reached agreement on its definition 据第四段最后一句，对此，人们还未达成共识。3.C)can realize what is important in life 据第七段最后一句，”…can be solved by encouraging people to prioritize other life goals 鯊উ茝䢩�ᰔ寛http://bulo.hjenglish.com/q/©版权所有沪江网寛ᰔ�䢩茝উ鯊and plans…” 解决这个问题的办法就是将生命中其他的目标和计划摆到重要位置。4.A)it seriously affected family relationships 根据第十一段最后一句，”if it’s a loss…and family relationships are breaking down…it’s too much.” 5.C)depressed 根据第十五段第一句话，”People who struggle with excessive Internet use may be depressed…” 6.B)His family had intervened 根据倒数第五段，”he cut back only after a full-scale family intervention…”

7.B)curb his desire for online gaming 根据倒数第四段最后一句，”to remind myself to keep my love for online games in check.” 其中，keep … in check意为，“制止;控制”。8.had an Internet addiction 根据倒数第三段最后一句。9.professional help 根据倒数第二段最后一句，”I have no money or insurance to get professional help…”: 10.online dating 根据最后一段，”I have a boyfriend now, and I’m not interested in online dating.” 听力

11.C)He cannot get access to the assigned book.由对话可知，该男士认为令他烦恼的是无论是在图书馆还是在书店他都找不到那本书，由此得出答案。get access to指“获得，走近，接近，能够利用某物”。

12.A)She will drive the man to the supermarket.由文中女士说她不喜欢别人开她的车以及” why don’t we go together?”可得知女士将开车与男士一同去超市。13.C)Tidy up the place.由文中” I guess it’s pretty obvious what you’ll be doing most of today”可知，很显然她想让他打扫房间。

14.A)The talks can be held any day except this Friday.本题考查one day is as good as the next的意思，该短语指的是任何一天都行。因此男士的意思是除了本周五，其它任何一天都可以。15.A)He understands the woman’s feelings.文中男士认为，” I’d feel that way too if I were you.”，“如果我是你的话我也会那样（感到很生气）。”因此她赞同女士的想法，表示理解女士的感受。16.D)She has to invite David to the party.从文中女士的话可得知，女士的母亲执意要David去参加圣诞party，因此她不得不请David。

17.C)Many students find Prof.Johnson’s lectures boring.由男士的话可得知，很多同学如果课前没喝咖啡的话，几乎很难保持清醒状态，忍不住犯困，也就是说学生们都觉得Prof.Johnson的课很无聊。

18.D)Assemble a computer.本文中主要是考assemble的意思，如果同学知道assemble意为“组装，装配”，便不难得出答案。”put a computer together”指“组装电脑”。19.B)It requires him to work long hours.男士开头便说”I have to work very long hours”，因此选B。20.D)It demands physical endurance and patience.女士问及工作哪个部分会比较难时，男士回答道他需要一直站着，同时在他们忙的时候，别人会变得易怒，也就是说这份工作需要体力和耐心。21.D)In a hotel.由文中” I wrote to about six hotels 耪쿷䗩쏔ﺹ늇탿http://bulo.hjenglish.com/q/©版权所有沪江网탿늇ﺹ쏔䗩쿷耪and one of them gave me my first job”可得出答案。22.B)Paying attention to every detail.由男士的回答” Attention to detail”可得知，B选项恰好与”attention to detail”同义。23.A)The pocket money British children get.原题为 What is the table of figures about? 意思是：这个表格是关于什么的？根据第一句话Now you’ve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get? 我们可以知道这个表格是关于英国孩子的零花钱情况的。

24.C)It often rises higher than inflation.原题为What do we learn from the conversation about British children’s pocket money? 意思是：从对话中我们可以了解到有关英国孩子零花钱的哪些信息？原文中女性说话人说“Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation? ”意思是：“你觉得为什么零花钱通常要比通货膨胀涨的更高呢？”据此我们可以判断英国孩子的零花钱比通货膨胀涨的更高，答案应选C.25.B)Pay for small personal things.原题为Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their pocket money? 对话中男性说话人说“…out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn’t expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.”意思是“我希望他们用零花钱去买一些小的个人物品，但我不希望他们把钱存起来去买他们自己的短袜等”。据此我们可以判断答案选B.26 A)District managers 该题比较简单，文章开头说到Alex期盼着与district managers的会议，因此正确答案为A项。27 D)The important part played by district managers 文章中提到在会议结束时，Alex打算以“the conversation about the importance of the district managers to the company plans”来结束会议，可见他打算强调district managers在公司计划中所起的重要作用。因此D项正确。B)Fifty percent of them were female 此题比较简单，文章中后面说道“Half of our managers are women”，而参加会议的基本上都是那些district managers，由此可判断，会议的听众有一半是女性，所以此题选B项。29 B)He was not gender sensitive 文章最后一句说这些女性district managers听到Alex总用“he”来指代“district managers”感到surprised和distressed（痛苦的，苦恼的），由此可见Alex失败的原因是由于他对于涉及到性别的用词不够敏感所造成的。C)Ask to see the manager politely but firmly 此题比较简单，原文中提到在餐馆遇到上错菜时，应该“make a polite but firm request to see the manage”,和C项所说完全一致。31 D)You can’t tell how the person on the line is reacting

此题相对简单，答案基本上是原句，“So you can’t tell how the person on the line is reacting.” 32 D)Stick to the point 此题属于原文再现，原文最后建议写投诉信时，应当“be business-like and stick to the point”，即围绕自己的要点来说，而不要说些无关紧要的废话，因此应该选D项。33.B)Architect 从原文“Before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government, designing government housing”可以得知。34.A)Do some volunteer work.从原文“If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week.”可以得知。35.C)A baby-sitter is no replacement for a mother.从原文“Tom does not think a baby-sitter can replace a mother”可以得知。36 curious

仔细阅读 section A 文章大意：本文关注的是绿色建筑与对待现存房屋的问题。根据文意，所谓绿色建筑即为节能减排的建筑。绿色建筑在节能减排方面意义重大，但是将所有现存房屋替换成绿色建筑是否可行呢？文章给出的答案是不可行的，因为推倒这些房屋进行重建也需要大量能量。那么，如何处理这些能耗大的旧房屋呢？文末给出的建议是对它们进行整修和升级。47.G incredibly 首先这里需要的是一个副词。根据文意，将这些房屋推倒代之以绿色建筑是极度浪费的。因此选incredibly.48.K replace

replace A with B, 意思是用B 替换A.这里是用绿色建筑取代现存房屋。49.J reduced 这一句话较难理解，翻译成中文即：绿色建筑带来的碳排放量的减少平均需要65年才能够补偿推倒房屋所用掉的能量。reduced, 这里用作形容词，指减少了的。50.L sense in the broadest sense, 在最广义上，这里是一个固定搭配。51.H powering

这里的and 引导的是平行结构，因此横线上需要填入一个动词的ing形式。在根据句意可知这里选powering，指为某物提供动力，使某物得以运行。52.D exceptions 联系下文可知本段意思是老房子基本上是最不节能的。但话不能说得这么绝对，因此用 with some exceptions, 指除一些特殊情况外。53.E expand tiny cracks and gaps 指的是小的缝隙和缺口。小的缝隙和缺口随着时间流逝，会扩大，从而使得外面空气流入，因而加大了能耗。这里选expand表示扩展，增大。54.O vast a number of 表示大量的，number前面可加一些形容词，如great等，表示数量极大的。这里填入vast，意为数量巨大的。55.F historic

句中有from……to……, 从什么到什么，联系整句话，意思是从一些历史上的古老建筑到你自己的战后的房子。postwar 指二战后，是一个较近的时间，与之对应的则是historic.56.I protect 首先，从句意判断，可知这一分句仍是陈述为老房屋进行升级的好处。此外，后半句中有介词from.据此我们可以判断，此处应填入的词是protect.Section B Passage 1 57.D)It is an indispensable device on an airplane.ward off指“避开，防止”。黑匣子并不能避免灾难发生，因此C选项不正确。indispensable，不能缺少的，文中多次举例黑匣子在事故发生后起到至关重要的作用，因此此选项正确。58.A)Data for analyzing the cause of the crash.本文第二段介绍了黑匣子在对于探寻Yemeni airliner坠毁原因上所起到的重大作用。由第二段第二行”the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong”以及后面由于法国一潜艇找到黑匣子这一发现”marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy”可以推断出答案。

59.C)The early models often got damaged in the crash.文中第三自然段第三行，由”Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned…”可得知，1965年黑匣子重新设计的原因是之前的黑匣子在坠机时容易遭到破坏。withstand意为“承受，经受”。60.C)To make them easily identifiable.由文中得知黑匣子被漆成橙色或黄色的原因是” to aid visibility”。Visibility是visible的名词形式，意为“能见度，可见度”，因此，漆成橙色或黄色主要是因为希望黑匣子可见度高，比较明显，容易被发现，故选C。

61.A)There is still a good chance for their being recovered.作者举出Air France Flight 447的例子主要是用来证明其前面的论点”When submerged, they’re also able to emit signals form depths of 20,000 ft.”意为黑匣子即使被埋于深处仍然能够发射信号以被察觉。Air France Flight 447的黑匣子处于水下深处，但数据显示他们仍能”turn up”（出现），即被探测人员发现。故选A。Passage 2 62.B)It is based on the concept of positive thinking 细节理解题

本题是问从文章第一段中我们能够了解自我帮助产业的哪些情况。文章第一句就说自我帮助产业是建立在把消极思考转化为积极思考的基础之上，因此B项是正确的。虽然文章一开始虽然说自我帮助产业的规模有110亿美元，但这只是说产业规模，并没有提到该行业具有很高的利润率，因此不能由此判断A项就是正确的。文章中只说Norman Vincent是积极思考的倡导者，并没有说该行业是由他创立的，因此C项不正确。第一段末尾作者就质疑积极思考是否真的有效，因此D项不是正确选项。

63.A)Encouraging positive thinking may do more harm than good 细节归纳题

本题问加拿大研究学者的发现是什么，文章第二段提到他们发表的文章里说让人们更积极地思考实际上会产生相反的效果，只会起到强调人们又多不开心的作用。后面又用实验来说明了这个观点，在文章的第三段和第五段也都再次说到积极思考会起到相反作用，使人们更不开心。因此本题选A项。

64.C)You are emphasizing the fact that he is not intelligent.细节理解题

本题问作者说“… you’re just underlining his faults”的含义是什么。文中前面说到有时说的过分，反而会让人感觉更糟，然后又说告诉朋友有爱因斯坦那样的潜能，自然会让朋友感觉有点夸张，反而会觉得是在说自己不聪明。65.C)Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem 细节理解题

本题问从Wood的实验中我们可以了解些什么。此题与63题有一定关联。答案应在对实验结果进行分析说明的段落来找，即文章的第五段。文章第五段说实验者在被迫进行多次自我肯定后，自卑的情况并没有得到改善，反而加重了。因此此题应该选C项。

66.B)Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy(心理治疗)细节理解题

本题问从文章最后一段我们可以了解些什么，毫无疑问答案自然是在文章最后一段。在这一段里，作者说文章还推荐人们把静思作为一种心理治疗的方法，因此应当选B项。文章只是说静思可以帮助人们学会接受自己的不足，把自己的不足放到更广泛的层面去思考，但并没有说静思可以使人们避免犯错误。因此D项不正确。完型填空 67.B differ 选项中，常与from搭配的有differ和derive。根据上下文不难看出，上文先说的是电子商务与电话银行等商务形式没有本质区别，与下文”the difference lies in”（区别在于）相呼应。68.B via via fax：通过传真 69.B used models used: 所采用的形式。选项中，appear为不及物动词，此处应选填一个及物动词的过去分词作后置定语。70.B lies lie in: 在于 71.B of consist of: 由…组成 72.D selects select an item: 挑选商品 73.A sends in send in: 递送;呈报 74.A visible visible: 看得见的；明显的。网上购物时，商品目录会在网上呈现在顾客眼前。75.B over 76.D allows 其中，admit做及物动词时，一般作“允许进入；承认；可容纳”解。allow sb to do，常用词组，容许某人做某事 77.A after 78.D insignificant 与下文的mainstream相对应。79.C corporations 与下文businesses相呼应。80.D only 81.B later 注意，latter意为，“后面的，后者的”。82.D provided provide sb with sth，固定词组，为某人提供某物。83.D besides besides意为，“此外，除此之外”。

84.A 珷眲蓿맨怂䐔ס曮http://bulo.hjenglish.com/myfeed/©版权所有沪江网曮ס䐔怂맨蓿眲珷and 顺承关系，用and。85.C widespread 网上银行流行起来了。widespread，分布广泛的。86.A acquired acquire，及物动词，意为，“获得”。网上购物时，顾客能够获得更优质的商品和更周到的服务。

翻译

87.(in)concentrating on the experiment/ focusing her attention on the experiment.本题考查两个短语的用法，一个是have difficulty(in)doing sth，该短语中，后面的动词要用现在分词形式。第二个短语是集中注意力，与此对应的有多个短语，如：focus/fix one’s attention on, concentrate on。翻译时需和前面短语的用法结合起来，把动词变成ing形式。88.did she become angry/did she lose her temper before.本题考查neither的倒装用法，以及发脾气这个短语，发脾气可以说become angry，也可以用lose one’s temper。89.being invited to attend the opening ceremony.本题考查look forward to的用法，后面要跟名词或者动词的ing形式，而且要注意后边是被邀请所以要用被动语态。90.(should)be fixed/installed by the window 本题考查It is suggested that结构中主语从句中要用虚拟语气的用法，即should + 动词原形，should可以省略。

91.the strong opposition of her parents/ her parents’ strong opposition.本题考查despite的用法，注意despite是介词，后边应该跟名词或者名词短语。

M: I am sorry I’ve no idea.Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.W: Perhaps they are.But it looks as if children were not better off in 2001 than they were in 2002.That’s strange, isn’t it?

M: Yeah, they do.Q23 What is the table of figures about? Q24 What do we learn from the conversation about British children’s pocket money? Q25 Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their pocket money? Passage 1 As the new sales director for a national computer firm, Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the company’s district managers.Everyone arrived on time, and Alex’s presentation went extremely well.He decided to end the meeting with the conversation about the importance of the district managers to the company’s plans.“I believe we are going to continue to increase our share of the market,” he began, “because of the quality of the people in this room.The district manager is the key to the success of the sales representatives in his district.He sets the term for everyone else.If he has ambitious goals and is willing to put in long hours, everyone in his unit will follow his example.” When Alex was finished, he received polite applauses, but hardly the warm response he had hoped for.Later he spoke with one of the senior managers.“Things were going so well until the end”, Alex said disappointedly.“Obviously, I said the wrong thing.” “Yes”, the district manager replied.“Half of our managers are women.Most have worked their way up from sales representatives, and they are very proud of the role they played in the company’s growth.They don’t care at all about political correctness.But they were definitely surprised and distressed to be referred to as ‘he’ in your speech.”

Q26 Who did Alex Gordon speak to at the first meeting? Q27 What did Alex want to emphasize at the end of his presentation? Q28 What do we learn about the audience at the meeting? Q29 Why did Alex fail to receive the warm response he had hoped for? Passage 2 The way to complain is to act business-like and important.If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager.When the manager comes, ask his or her name.And then state your problem and what you expect to have done about it.Be polite!Shouting or acting rude will get you nowhere.But also be firm in making your complaint.Besides, act important.This doesn’t mean to put on airs and say “do you know who I am?” What it means is that people are often treated the way they expect to be treated.If you act like someone who expects a fair request to be granted, chances are it will be granted.The worst way to complain is over the telephone.You are speaking to a voice coming from someone you cannot see.So you can’t tell how the person on the line is reacting.It is easy for that person to give you the run-around.Complaining in person or by letter is generally more effective.If your complaint doesn’t require an immediate response, it often helps to complain by letter.If you have an appliance that doesn’t work, send a letter to the store that sold it.Be business-like and stick to the point.Don’t spend a paragraph on how your uncle John tried to fix the problem and couldn’t.Q30 What does the speaker suggest you do when you are not served properly at a restaurant? Q31 Why does the speaker say the worst way to complain is over the telephone? Q32 What should you do if you make a complaint by letter? Passage 3 Barbara Sanders is a wife and the mother of two children, ages 2 and 4.Her husband, Tom, is an engineer and makes an excellent salary.Before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government, designing government housing.She quit her job when she became pregnant, but is now interested in returning to work.She's been offered an excellent job with the government.Her husband feels it's unnecessary for her to work since the family does not need the added income.He also thinks that a woman should stay home with her children.If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week.Barbara, on the other hand, has missed the excitement of her profession and does not feel she would be satisfied doing volunteer work.She would also like to have her own income, so she does not have to ask her husband for money whenever she wants to buy something.She does not think it's necessary to stay home every day with the children and she knows a very reliable babysitter who's willing to come to her house.Tom does not think a babysitter can replace a mother and thinks it's a bad idea for the children to spend so much time with someone who's not part of the family.Q33 What was Barbara's profession before she had children? Q34 What does Barbara's husband suggest she do if she wants to work? Q35 What does Tom think about hiring a babysitter? Almost every child, on the first day he sets foot in the school building, is smarter, more curious，less afraid of what he doesn't know, better at finding and figuring things out, more confident, resourceful, persistent and independent, than he will either be again in his schooling or, unless he is very unusual and very lucky, for the rest of his life.Already, by paying close attention to and interacting with the world and people around him, and without any school-type formal instruction, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated and abstract than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years-he has solved the mystery of language.He has discovered it.Babies don't even know that language exists.And he has found out how it works and learnt to use it appropriately.He has done it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing his own model of the grammar of language, by trying it out and seeing whether it works, by gradually changing it and refining it until it does work.And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, including many of the concepts that the schools think only they can teach him, and many that are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach him.
