Conversations
Conversation 1
M: Hello!
W: Oh, hello! You must be a new student. Did you find us OK?
M: Well, I got a bit lost and I had to ask a stranger, but I got here eventually.
W: Oh, dear! Have you come far today?
M: Only from Brighton. I was staying with my brother.
W: Oh, good. How did you get her?
M: My brother took me to the railway station, and I got a bus at this end. (Q1)
W: Aha, well you’d better tell me your name so I can find your form.
M: It’s Mark Burn.
W: Burn, Burn. Ah, yes. Oh, you’ve changed since this photo. What happened to your beard and mustache? And you are not wearing glasses, either. (Q2)
M: No, I thought I’d better look smarter.
W: Here is the key to your room. It’s 501.
M: Thanks. How do I get there?
W: Go to the end of this corridor. Turn left, and it’s the third door on the right.
M: Thank you. Oh, there is a meeting for new students. What time is that?
W:Half past five in the Common Room on the ground floor at the other end of the corridor. (Q3) M: Thanks a lot. Bye!
Key: 1.C 2.A 3.B
Conversation 2
W: Hi, Steve, how are things?
M: Hi, Maggie. Good, thanks. What’s new with you?
W: Oh, I was just wondering if you wanted to go out tonight.
M: Well, I was thinking of going to the university library to do a bit of study. (Q4) What’ve you got in mind?
W: I thought we could just go for a walk. Maybe down to that part near the beach.
M: Tonight? You must be joking! It’s too cold! (Q5)
W: Oh, yes, it’s too cold (Q5). But I still want to go out somewhere. That new Tom Cruise’s film is on in town. How about that?
M: Ok. What time does it start?
W: Oh, I think it’s half past eight or something. I’ll just get the paper and have a look. Just hang on for a minute. Look, the film got a fantastic review in the paper last week.
M: Ok, Ok. Where’re we going to meet?
W: It’d be easiest if we met at the cinema (Q6).
M: Ok. Where is it?
W: Near the town hall and opposite the bank.
M: Oh, yeah. I know where it is. Ok, look, I’ll meet you there at fifteen past eight.
Key: 4.D 5.B 6.D
Conversation 3
W: What are you reading, Bill?
M: It’s this week’s New Scientist, Why?
W: I was just wondering. It looks interesting. But I’ve never actually read it myself (Q9). It’s for real scientists. Or can ordinary people like me understand it (Q9)?
M: Oh, it’s for anyone really (Q9). It usually has articles and stories about current affairs, about science as well as papers about new development and research. I am reading about a new telephone that allows you to see the person you’re speaking to as well as hearing (Q10).
W: Oh, I’ve heard about it. Is it on the market yet? Can I buy one?
M: No, not this one (Q7). But the company has made other models to try out the business. This one is special because of its color, and the image is moving (Q7).
W: OK, that’s interesting (Q9).
M: You see the first video phones, that’s what they called, were made in Japan. But they can only show a still black-and-white image. So this videophone is much better than that. Mind you I am no sure I want one. Would you?
W: Well, no. I don’t think I would. I bet it costs a lot of money. Does it say how much it costs (Q7)?
M: Yes, the early black-and-white ones cost several hundred pounds. But the one that the story is about costs several thousand pounds (Q8).
W: Mm, why does anybody want one, do you think (Q9)?
M: Business organizations that need to frequently contact overseas organizations would want it.
It’s like a face-to-face conversation, so maybe a lot of overseas travel can be avoided.
W: Yes, I suppose so (Q9).

Passages
Passage 1
If you are in a western country, you often see people walking their dogs. It is still true that the dog is the most useful animal in the world. However, the reason why one keeps a dog has changed (Q13).Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted to help him in the fight against other animals, and the dog listened to him and did what he told him to do. Later people used dogs for hunting other animals (Q11), and dogs did not eat what they got until their master agreed. Dogs were also used for driving sheep and guarding chickens (Q11). But now people in towns and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals anymore. Of course they keep them to fighting thieves, but the most important reason for keeping dogs is that they feel lonely in the city. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young wife, a dog is her child when she does not have her own. For old people, a dog is also a child when their children have grown up and left. Now people do not have to use a dog, but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family (Q12).
Key: 11.D 12.A 13.D
Passage 2
I am going to work in a totally new environment. I’ll have to get used to different working conditions. I am used to working in quite a high-tech sort of industry that’s got lots of machinery and everything. But now I am going to a place that has no machinery as such apart from a typewiter. The place has no electricity at all, no photo copiers. All the things that you just take for
granted here, they just won’t be there anymore (Q14).I’ll be staying near the school in quite a small village, and I will be staying in a teacher’s house, living with two or three other volunteer teachers (Q15). I’ll have to get used to not having the variety of different foods that you have here like 20 different varieties of breakfast serial. And the range of food there is much smaller, not many choices (Q16).I’ll also have to get used to getting water from the well. Not having electricity, which means gas lamp in the evening, which means the difficulty of preparing for the next day’s lessons in poor light.(Q15),which means different ways of getting your clothes washed. There’ll be all sorts of big differences like that I’ll have to get used to when I arrive there (Q17).

Passage 3
The most common type of child abuse, you know, is beating with hands or with an instrument, usually a cane in some places. Nearly a third of the abused children we see are in the age group between 6 and 10, and about 65% of them are boys. This is the age group when children are first expected to study hard(Q18),and parents have great expectations of their progress in school. Boys, of course, attract more abuse such as beating, because once again parental expectations are high and boys tend to be more energetic and difficult to control than girls (Q20). Most experts seem to agree that child abuse is caused by a combination of social and psychological factors. Families who beat their children are not particularly different from other people. The only difference that exists between them is that they lack skills in establishing good relationship with their children. These families too, generally speaking, have other problems such as marriage problems or financial problems(Q19).Some parents are hurting their children because they strongly believe in the use of traditional disciplinary methods, but many of them have emotional problems (Q19). They are often the victims of violence themselves. Sometimes they even bear an unreasonable hatred for a child because they believe that the child has brought the family bad lack. Key: 18.B 19.A 20.C

American coast guard officials in Florida say they have returned to Cuba a group of would-be immigrants (Q21) who tried to make their way to the United States in an unusual vessel---a floating truck(Q22).They said one of their planes spotted the Cubans more than half way through their journey, and the coast guard could not believe their eyes when they saw the vessel.

News Item 6 (29-30)
The Israeli peace camp has launched the biggest protest in years with more than 100,000 people protesting (Q29 & 30) on Saturday and demanding the country leave Gaza(Q30)after Palestinian militants dealt Israel’s army its deadliest blow since 2002. Crowds at Tel Aviv’s main square added to the growing call for withdraw from the war-torn territory. The killing of the 13 soldiers (Q30)by militants in the Gaza strip last week has deepened the already-strong support in Israel for Prime Minister Sharon’s Gaza pullout Plan (Q30), which has been delayed by hardliners in his right wing Likud Party.

2013年英语专四真题及答案解析--汇总 【2013年英语专四真题及答案解析--听写部分参考答案】 What is a dream for One theory is that we dream to release the deep, secret desires. We do not express these desires in real life because of the rules of polite society. Another theory is that dreams allow us to solve problems that we can't solve in real life. We go to sleep with a problem and wake up with the solution. This may be a way to use our dreams rather than a purpose of dreaming. If you believe that your dreams are important, then analyzing them may help you to focus on the problem and help you to find the solution. The modern image is that dreams are the brain's way of cleaning up the computer’s hard disk. Dreams organize the events of the day into folders and delete what is not needed. But we all know that very little of what we dream is concerned with what happened to us that day. 【2013年英语专四真题及答案解析--语法部分】 51.

Please write the whole passage on ANSWER SHEET ONE. In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather wasn’t ver y good, even in summer, so a lot of people left the country for a vacation. In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier on average. As a result, they started to go abroad in groups to places such as Spain and Greece. Once they arrived at their destination, they met with other groups of young people and had one long party. British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a hotter climate, so people do not need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, going abroad is more expensive. As a result, more British people are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.

Last semester I tried to register in that course but all the other people told me not to. W:Why not? M:They said that my lack of knowledge in higher mathematics might be an obstacle in understanding Professor Smith's theory. W:Really?

So you'd better make sure that you are extremely familiar with these formulas if you are seriously considering taking his course. W:What a shame I (2)My friends all told me that Professor Smith has lots of original ideas and he really can stimulate students to think. But I don't think I have the mathematical skills to keep up with the others. M:lf you want to take the course so much, why don't you register in a course in higher mathematics first? W. But I'm afraid that I will miss Professor Smith's course when I finish the mathematics course. M:Hey, I heard that Professor Smith would give the same course in the semester that starts next fall.

⒈用if条件从句表示的虚拟条件，是虚拟条件最普通的方式。 ①虚拟现在时表示与现在事实相反的假设，其if 从句的谓语形式用动词的过去式(be 一般用were)，主句用would/ should/ could/ might +动词原形，例如：If I were in your position I would marry her. ②虚拟过去时是表示与过去事实相反的假设，if 从句的谓语形式用过去完成时即had＋过去分词，主句用would / should / could / might + have +过去分词，例如：If it had not rained so hard yesterday we could have played tennis. ③大多数的虚拟条件句属于上面三种情况的一种，但并不排除存在条件和后果中，一个和现在情况相反，另一个和过去情况相反，例如：If you had followed what the doctor said, you would not have been so painful now.这个句子在高中出现频率颇高。 ④但是，如果后果用了虚拟语气，而条件却用陈述语气，这种用法是错的。 ⒉除了表示虚假条件外，if从句还可以表示对将来的推测，由于是将来还没有发生的，所以谈不上是真实的还是虚假的，只能说这个事情发生的可能性有多大。一般情况下，可以用陈述语气的if从句来表示对一个未来事实的推测，这个事实是完全可能发生的。If从句的谓语形式用一般过去式或用were to / should +动词原形，主句用would / should /could/ might +动词原形，例如：Jean doesn't want to work right away because she thinks that if she were to get a job she probably wouldn't be able to see her friends very often.（1996年1月四级第44题） ⒊有时可以把含有助动词、情态动词、be或have的虚拟条件句中的连词if 省去，而将had , should, were 等词提到主语之前，即用倒装结构,这时候，如果出现not等否定词，否定词需放在主语后面。这种结构在口语中很少使用，但频频出现在各类考试中出现，例如：If it had not rained so hard yesterday we could have played tennis.→Had it not rained so hard yesterday, we could have played tennis. ⒋大多数的虚拟条件通过上面所讲的两种方法表达，但在个别句子中也可以通过介词without和介词短语but for表达，副词otherwise等表达出来。例如：We didn't know his telephone number; otherwise we would have telephoned him.（1995年6月四级第46题）值得注意的是，包含but for的句子，谓语动词必定要用虚拟形式，但包含without等短语的句子，谓语动词未必一定要用虚拟语气。 ⒌有时虚拟条件不是明确地表达出来，而在蕴含在用but引导的从句里，于是便出现了有谓语动词是虚拟语气的主句加上谓语动词是陈述语气的but从句构 成的并列复合句，例如I would have hung you but the telephone was out of order.在这样的句子里，如果主句没有用虚拟语气，或者从句用了虚拟语气，都是错的。 Ⅱ用在宾语从句中的虚拟语气 ⒈在表示愿望的动词wish后的宾语从句中，需用虚拟语气。（wish后的that 常省略），根据主句时态，从句谓语时态相应退后一位，例如：How she wished his family could go with him. ⒉在具有愿望、请求、建议、命令等主观意愿的动词(desire, demand, advice, insist, require, suggest, propo se, order, recommend, decide …) 后的宾语从句中需用虚拟语气。谓语动词用(should) +动词原形。值得注意的是，如果宾语从
