第一篇:2014年6月英语四级阅读模拟练习
放弃人生的电梯吧!成功是没有捷径的在纽约有一座很有名的帝国大厦,相信很多读者都曾经听说过,或是在电影上看到过。这座帝国大厦营建的时间相当的久,而且有一半的时间是用在建造地下层的部分。
同样的,在台北的新光摩天大楼,相信有读者也曾经到它的顶层参观、俯看整个大台北。但是在它落成之前,当时经常路过台北火车站的朋友,一定觉得相当奇怪:为什么这栋大楼要花3年左右的时间在打地基的工程上?等到看到如此高的大厦盖起,成为台北的新地标时,当初的疑惑便都清楚了:万丈高楼平地起,愈高的大楼,需要愈稳固的基础。
成功没有捷径,它需要脚踏实地。近年来几乎年年居畅销排行榜前几名的作家林清玄谈到自己的写作时说:“我是个农夫的儿子,家里世代务农,在农家就有一个体会:每年只能收成一次,但天天都得下田工作。而作家的精神也是如此,这也是我给自己的规范。”20年来,他不断地写作,从未间断。我想不只是作家,从事每一种行业,都应该学习农夫的精神,每日耕耘,时候到了,总会看到收成。
我曾经到过关国的首都华盛顿,华盛顿有个重要的地标,就是华盛顿纪念碑,许多观光客都会到这边来游玩。
当时我看到很多人排队在等电梯,但同时也看到有一些人走楼梯上去。这时候,领队就问我们说:“你们要搭电梯还是走楼梯上去?”他也告诉我们,走楼梯虽然比较辛苦,但是反而比较快。“那么我们爬楼梯吧!”于是我们全体非常积极地爬楼梯上去。等我们参观完、爬完楼梯下来时,看到很多人还继续在队伍里苦苦等待,因为等电梯的人大多了,他们根本没有机会上去。

Directions: Read the following passage and then answer the questions.For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Questions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Engineers of the Woods
In the forests of North America, where the winters are often long and cold, small lakes can be found along the streams.Sometimes these lakes are natural, sometimes they are man-made, and sometimes they are the constructions of beavers(海狸).You can tell a beaver lake by its dam.To make the dams, the beavers lay sticks and branches on top of each other to form an effective barrier against the water of the stream.Near the dam the beavers lay sticks and branches.Usually this barrier is similar to a small island in a lake.This is the house where a beaver family spends the winter, protecting themselves from enemies and from the cold.The beavers are able to keep dry in the center of the house, which is above water level.The beavers work hard to make their house.They cut down trees, gather branches and put them together with mud.Most of the summer is spent on this kind of work, but in winter the beavers' work pays off.Their house protects them from bears as well as the cold.The beaver is related to animals such as rats and mice.The beaver, however, is much bigger than his relatives.An adult beaver may weigh more than 50 pounds, and his body may be about three feet long.His tail will add ten to twelve more inches to his length.His back feet are webbed, which help him swim rapidly.His front feet are similar to a pair of strong hands.With them he can carry wood and stones.His eyes, nose and ears are small, but he has two huge front teeth.These teeth are always growing, and he must keep them sharp by constant use.The teeth of an adult beaver are yellow from the bark of trees that he bites.Men attach great value to the beaver because beavers can be sold to make expensive clothing.Beavers have almost disappeared from Europe because trappers(设阱捕兽者)have killed so many of them.Beavers might easily have become extinct in America, too, but laws were passed to protect them before they were all killed.The beaver likes family life, and lives with the same mate all his life.Several young—usually two to five—are born every year.The little beavers stay with their parents for two years before mating and setting out on their own.They share the work of building dams, constructing homes and raising the young.When there are too many beavers in one place, some of them will group together in another place.They usually choose a spot near some fairly deep lake or river, where there are trees.The bark of trees is eaten as food.Then the wood is used for building.Sometimes the lodges are built on the bank of the water, but usually they are built on an island in the water.If there is no island already there, the beavers make one by piling sticks and mud on the bed of the river until the top is a few inches above the level of the water.The top 1 is carpeted with small pieces of wood leaves.A roof of sticks and lots of mud is then built over this “floor”.Food for the winter is taken to the lodge before the weather gets too cold.Some of it—the larger pieces—is stored on the bottom of the lake or river, near the entrance to a tunnel leading up to the lodge.There are sometimes several such entrances, under the surface of the water.Wood that is kept under water may be stuck in the mud, or weighted down with stones.Beavers prefer to work at night.One beaver, on a single night, can cut down a tree that is eight inches around.After cutting down the tree, the beaver cuts the trunk into pieces that can be carried.He uses these as the base for the dam.A small dam may be enlarged after several years, in order to flood a large surface and provide living space for more beavers.Under favorable conditions, a dam may last for a hundred years or more.Naturally, other animals use these dams as bridges, forcing the beavers to keep the dams in good repair.The dams must be strong enough to hold up against the pressure of ice in spring and sometimes, holes are made by the beavers, after heavy rains, to allow excess water to run off.Another type of work beavers do is canal digging.When they have used up the good trees near their home, they must bring more wood from farther away.To accomplish this, they may dig a canal(运河)to float the trees to the place where they are needed.Beaver dams help people because they prevent floods and bring water to farms.It is fortunate that these animals have not been allowed to disappear completely.1.The stick and branch dams made by beavers are similar to ________________.A.houses where people spend the winter B.small islands in a lake C.barriers against the water of the stream D.dams that are man-made 2.Beavers spend most of the summer ________________.A.hiding from bears B.making their house C.keeping cold D.looking for mice and rats 3.To help it swim quickly, a beaver has ________________.A.small ears B.strong front feet C.a long tail D.webbed back feet 4.________________ have(has)protected beavers from becoming extinct.A.Family life B.Europe C.Laws D.Trappers 5.Beavers usually choose to live ________________.2 A.in one place B.near some deep lakes or rivers with food C.near some deep lakes or rivers with trees D.near the dams of rivers 6.On the bottom of the lake or river, beavers store ________________.A.large pieces of food B.small pieces of wood leaves C.wood and stones D.sticks and lots of mud 7.In only one night, a beaver can ________________.A.build a small dam B.cut down a tree C.repair a dam D.make more living space 8.9.10.Preventing floods and bringing water to farms are two ways that beaver dams.Beavers dig canals to from the places farther away to the places where they are needed.After heavy rains, beavers make holes in the dam to let excess water.Part 2 Understanding Short Conversations

Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 59 to 63 are based on the same passage or dialog.Another example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as “beri-beri”(脚气病), which used to affect large numbers of Eastern peoples who lived mainly on rice.In the early years of the 20th century, a Dutch scientist named Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of beri-beri.At first he thought it was transmitted(传送)by a germ(细菌).He was working in a Japanese hospital, where the patients were fed on rice which had had the external husk(壳)removed from the grain, called “white rice.” It was thought this would be 8 easier for weak, sick people to digest.Eijkman thought his germ theory was confirmed when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard, which were fed on scraps(碎片)from the patients' plates, were also showing signs of the disease.He then tried to isolate the germ he thought was causing the disease, but his experiments were interrupted by a hospital official, who ruled that the huskless polished rice was too good for chickens.The chickens should be fed cheap rice with the external covering still on the grain, called “brown rice.” Eijkman noticed that the chickens began to recover on the new diet.He began to consider the possibility that eating brown rice somehow prevented or cured beri-beri—even that a lack of some ingredient in the husk might be the cause of the disease.Indeed this was the case.The element needed to prevent beri-beri was shortly afterwards isolated from rice husks and is now known as Vitamin B.The white rice, though more expensive, was keeping alive the disease the hospital was trying to cure.59 From the context, what do you think the author mentions in the paragraph that is just before this first paragraph? A.One example of the importance of vitamins.B.One example of the benefits of eating healthy foods.C.One example of the dangers of a restricted diet.D.One example of the benefits of various vitamins.60 The disease “beri-beri” ________.A.kills large numbers of Western peoples B.is a vitamin deficiency disease C.is transmitted by diseased rice D.can be caught from diseased chickens
The chickens Eijkman noticed in the hospital yard ________.A.couldn't digest the huskless rice B.proved beri-beri is transmitted by germs C.were later cooked for the patients' food D.were suffering from vitamin deficiency
Huskless, white rice ________.A.was cheaper than brown rice B.was less beneficial to the body than brown rice C.was more beneficial to the body than brown rice D.cured beri-beri
The ingredient missing from white rice ________.A.was Vitamin B B.did not affect the chickens C.was named the Eijkman vitamin D.has never been accurately identified 9
Questions 64 to 68 are based on the same passage or dialog.A department store's inputs include the land upon which the building is located;the labor of the employees;capital in the form of building, equipment and products they sell;and the management skills of the store managers.On a farm, the operation system is the transformation that occurs when a farmer's inputs(land, equipment, labor, etc.)are changed into such outputs(产出)as corn, wheat or milk.The exact process is different from industry to industry, but it is an economic phenomenon that exists in every industry.Economists refer to this change of resources into goods and services as the production function.For all operation systems, the general goal is to create some kind of value-added outputs that are worth more to consumers than just the sum of the individual inputs.To the consumers, the resulting products offer usefulness due to the form, the time, or the place they are available.However, the process is subject to unpredictable fluctuations(波动).Unplanned or uncontrollable influences may cause the actual output to be different from planned output.Unpredictable fluctuations can arise from external problems(fire, floods or lightning, for example)or from internal problems that are part of the process that change them into useful goods.Variability of equipment, material imperfections, and human mistakes all affect output quality.In fact, unpredictable variations are the rule rather than the exception in the production processes;therefore, reducing variation becomes a major management task.The function of the feedback(反馈)is to provide information connection.Without some feedback of information, management personnel cannot control operations because they don't know the results of their directions.64 What is included in a store's inputs? A.Its equipment.B.Its workers.C.Its managers.D.Its departments.65 Which of the following is a farmer's output? A.Operation system.B.Wheat and corn.C.His labor.D.Transformation.66 The production function is ________.A.the random fluctuation that can be eliminated B.the transformation of resources into other things C.the goods and services that are used by people D.the value added to items that have been transformed 67.A.Quality of output will always be reduced some.What is the effect of unplanned or uncontrollable influences? 10 B.Actual output can be different from planned output.C.Random fluctuations can arise from external sources.D.New rules can be put in place to manage them.68 What is the effect of not having feedback? A.Management has new tasks to accomplish.B.Management has trouble reducing variation.C.Management cannot control operations.D.Management cannot give instructions.Part 8 Cloze(with four choices provided)

How to Deal with Cheating?
Many students tend to cheat in the exams.Some will copy the answers from their books.Some will talk with each other to share the right answers.Besides, some even write down the information on their skin.There are several causes leading to cheating.Some students want to get high scores without efforts.Secondly, some are under great pressure and they fear to fail the exams.Once the students are found cheating, the teachers should punish them severely and explain the harm of cheating to them.There are at least two ways to eliminate cheating.On the one hand, we should explain the harm of cheating to our students.On the other hand, strict measures should be taken against cheating.As a result, the fair play in the exams can be achieved and students can pay attention to study instead of cheating.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Heated Match, Fair Play.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

Heated Match, Fair Play
Dear fellow students,Good evening.Here comes the coverage of the final basketball match of our school league.The match was held in the school stadium in the morning.One team was from the English Department, and the other from the Maths Department.The game began at 8:30.All the players brought their potential into full play.Both teams took the lead by turns.The biggest margin was less than ten points.It was really the closest game I have ever watched.When there was 5 seconds left, the team from the English Department lagged narrowly behind by two points.At the last second, Li Qiang scored a three pointer and put the English team in lead by one point.The audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers.At last, the English team screwed a 7574 win over the Maths team.All of the players on both teams played marvelously, with the leading scorer Li Qiang.He scored 26 points, 10 of them in the decisive final quarter.Besides, he also snatched 9 rebounds.No wonder he was elected the MVP of the game.That’s the exciting report on the game.Thank you.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic A Letter to the University President about the Goods Promotion on Campus.You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline given below in Chinese:

A Letter to the University President
about the Goods Promotion on Campus April 21, 2006
Dear Mr.President,Nowadays the goods promotion on campus is on the rise.When you are taking a nap on the dormitory, you will be disturbed by knocks on the door by a salesman.Most of those goods promoted are of poor quality.Worse still, this poses a potential danger on the security of the dormitory.Why is the goods promotion so pervasive on campus? Firstly, many salesmen believe that college students are naive and can be easily deceived.Secondly, a number of students, especially the freshmen, are in great need of various necessities at the beginning of each semester.Thirdly, some students want to take part-time jobs and earn some money.As for this kind of phenomenon, I’d like to put forward some suggestions.On the one hand, those professional salesmen should not be allowed to enter the dormitory to promote their goods.On the other hand, no promotion activity should be allowed during noon break.I hope in this way our campus life will be left undisturbed.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic A Letter of Application for a School Loan.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

College Graduates Work as Village Officials
Nowadays many college graduates choose to work as village officials in the remote areas.To this, people’s attitudes differ sharply.Some hold the positive view while others are against it.As far as I am concerned, I believe that it is a wise choice.Above all, college graduates can contribute a lot to the development of the countryside.First, they can apply their professional knowledge there.Secondly, they can introduce new concepts to the countryside and speed the development of rural culture.As a result, the gap between the city and the countryside can well be bridged.In addition, these graduates can benefit a lot from working as village officials.While too many college graduates are fighting for the handful of positions in big cities, these graduates can find themselves a wider stage of development and realize their value.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: How to Keep Psychologically Healthy.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

On a Harmonious Dormitory Life
Dormitory life is an indispensable part of college life.But sometimes the harmony in the dormitory will be disturbed in one way or another.For example, some members listen to music late into the night and make those light sleepers restless.Worse still, the smell of some students socks is powerful enough to drive other members out of the room.As is known to all, a harmonious dormitory life is important to college students and benefits all the members.On one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study.On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together.In contrast, an unharmonious life will be depressing and counterproductive.There are several ways to create and maintain a harmonious dormitory life.Firstly, you have to evaluate your life style and try to get rid of your dirty habits, if there are any.Secondly, when an annoying situation arises, you’ll just have to learn to tolerate each other and coexist.Thirdly, you’ll have to share with each other and make good friends.In conclusion, we should try our best to build a harmonious dormitory life for the purpose of good study and good life.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic How to Deal with Sub health.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

Study under a Work study Program
Nowadays more and more college students are taking part time jobs as they have more time at their disposal.Some are eager to gain experience and improve their practical skills.Others want to earn some money and relieve the financial burden on their families.But every coin has two sides.On the one hand, part time jobs do much good for us.We can develop our skills and improve our material life as well.On the other hand, we may not be able to put our heart into study in the “gold rush”.Worse still, those who fail to resist the temptation from society will take a wrong road, and even end up in prison.In conclusion, the outcome of study under a work study program depends on how we handle it.We should allot plenty of time to our study, keeping in mind that study should have priority over anything else for us college students, and money is not our purpose but a means to provide us with comfort.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic A Job searching Experience.You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline given below in Chinese:

Should Universities Lower Admission Requirements for Celebrities?
In recent years, many famous universities lower admission requirements for celebrities.More and more celebrities, especially sports stars, have been admitted to famous universities even without an entrance examination.This phenomenon has become a subject of controversy.Some people object strongly that universities lower admission requirements for celebrities.They hold that this admission pattern will damage the basic fairness rule of education.In addition, they say that if a person who has not enough academic ability is admitted to the university, it would be an insult on college education.However, still other people think it acceptable.They say that these celebrities deserve this privilege because they have proved their abilities in their field.Besides, in their opinion, these celebrities to some extent set a good model for other young people.Weighing these two arguments, I prefer the latter one.For one thing, these celebrities have sacrificed a lot of learning time for their work, so they should be offered a better chance for learning.For another, if they accept advanced education, they could serve the society better.Therefore, I suggest that people should pay more attention to these celebrities’ efforts and contributions rather than the special treatment they enjoy.Writing Task 2

Attending TV PK Shows Does No Good to Young People
Nowadays TV PK shows are great hits in China and have attracted many young people.Some youngsters even give up their studies to attend these shows in the hope of becoming famous overnight.Some people think these shows provide young people with more chance to show talents, while others believe that attending these shows does no good to the young people.As for me, I prefer the latter opinion.It should be admitted that some young people, like Li Yuchun, have stood out from the numerous participants in the PK show, but that doesn’t mean attending the PK shows is a good way to become successful for young people.The following reasons can support my view.Firstly, TV PK shows breed restlessness and induce young people to hunt after fame at whatever cost.Secondly, TV PK shows can subvert the youngsters’ values.They think attending the PK shows is a shortcut to success, so they may despise the way of achieving success by hard work.Finally, if the young people fail in these shows, they will suffer a psychological unbalance.In a word, entering for TV PK shows is not a good way for young people to achieve success.I suggest young people should think twice before deciding to attend PK shows.
