W: Well, not that quickly.Look, here is the picture of the Colorado River. See way down at the bottom ofthe canyon, that river and its branches have been wearing the canyon floor awayfor ten million years.
M: Then the canyon is theresult of soil erosion. I'll bet geologists have made some interestingdiscoveries there.
W: [23] Not only thegeologists, archaeologists have found the bones of extinct animals in caves inthe canyon walls. [24] In a cave one hundred and forty feet above the river,they found driftwood that dates back as far as thirty seven thousand years. M: That means the river musthave been a hundred and forty feet higher up when it
carried the drift woodinto the cave.

passage two
【听力原文】
Good evening. Welcome to"Travelogue Night". [29] Tonight our spotlight is on Santa CatalinaIsland, located 26 miles up the southern California coast. For years the islandwith its tiny resort town of Avalon, has been a haven for campers, fishers andswimmers. The island was discovered by a Portuguese explorer in 1542.During itshistory, Santa Catalina passed through the hands of many nations. [30] In 1919,after a fire destroyed much of Avalon, chewing-gum magnate William Wrigley Jr.purchased the island with three million dollars. [31] Wrigley bought the islandprimarily as the training camp for his baseball team, the Chicago Cubs. Soon, however,the millionaire became interested in developing Catalina further as a beautifulpeaceful retreat with something for everyone. During the next ten years, hotelswere constructed, the golf course enlarged, and even a special steamer theCatalina was built to carry 2,000 passengers. In 1928, Mr. Wrigley decided tobuild a huge dance hall called the Casino Ball Room. With the ball room dancecraze sweeping the country then the casino became the favorite venue of bigname band leaders. [32] The most famous musicians and singers of the 1930s and1940s played there for those who enjoyed dancing to their big band tunes. Youcan see for yourself what Catalina looks like as we turn down the lights now.

Passage Three
【听力原文】
[33] Did you ever have someone's name on thetip of your tongue and yet you were unable to recall it? When this happensagain, do not try to recall it. Do something else for a couple of minutes, andthe name may come into your head. The name is there since you have met thisperson and learned his name. It only has to be dug out. [35] The initial effortto recall prepares the mind for operation, but it is the subconsciousactivities that go to work to dig up a dim memory. Forcing yourself to recallalmost never helps because it doesn't loosen your memory; it only tightens it.Students find the preparatory method helpful in the examinations. They read overthe questions before trying to answer any of them. [34] Then they answer firstthe ones of which they are most confident. Meanwhile, deeper mental activitiesin the subconscious mind are taking place; work is being done on the moredifficult questions. By the time the easier questions are answered, answers tothe more difficult ones will usually begin to come into consciousness. It isoften just a question of waiting for recall to come to the memory.
33. What's the passage about?
34. According to the passage,what kind of order do students usually follow when they answer questions inexams?
35. Which of the following isTRUE according to the passage?

2．三项含有与人的意识有关的词汇(recalling，memory，conscience，mind)。
结论：本题可能考查短文的主旨，其内容与意识有关。
【解析】不少人都有过这样的经历：当你想叫出某人的名字时。却突然想不起来了。本篇短文以此为引子，介绍了唤醒记忆的方法，并以学生在考试时答题的过程为例进行具体讲解，可见短文主要论述的是如何唤醒记忆。故选A。
34．D
【解题思路】
1．四项均为from…to…结构。
2．四项均提及0nes，其中两项包含一对反义词(short/long，complicated／easy)。结论：本题可能考查做某事的先后顺序，需注意辨别ones指代何物。
【解析】题干问学生在考试答题时往往依照怎样的顺序。短文后半部分提到，学生总是先做那些自己最有把握的题目，等这些比较简单的题目答完了，那些较难题目的答案也就想起来了。可见学生答题的顺序是由易到难，故选D。A项中的familiar表述不够准确，可排除。
35．C
【解题思路】
1．四项均为成分完整的句子，其中两项以when开头。
2．三项含有第二人称代词(you，yourself)。
3．四项均含有与记忆、回忆相关的词汇(recall，mind，subconscious，memory)。结论：结合以上三点以及选项的结构来看，本题可能考查说法正误，需结合原文信息——进行辨别。
【解析】短文中间部分提到，最初试图进行回忆的努力使意识准备好开始运转，但是，是潜意识活动负责去挖掘模糊的记忆。强迫自己去回忆几乎从来都不会奏效，因为这样做非但不会使你的意识放松。而且会使其更紧张。故选C。Section C

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunde rstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive
大学英语四级模拟试题四(附含答案解析)
大学英语四级模拟题四 Part One Reading Comprehension (2’×10 = 20’) Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow”from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory（呼吸的）diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases. Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility （能见度）. There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals are apt（易于的）to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers. Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes（腐蚀）our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control. 1. Air pollution may lead to airplane accidents because . A. it may cause pilots to be ill B. engines may fail from the air-borne dirt C. visibility is reduced D. it brings a lot of black snow 2. Scientists are trying to find a link between pollution and . A. intelligence levels B. birth problems C. man’s behavior D. the nervous system 3. Scientists have not yet determined . A. all of the effects of pollution on the human body B. how pollution can be controlled successfully C. when the atmosphere first became polluted D. how some snow becomes black 4. The author suggests that before air pollution becomes more serious, . A. factories will be forced to stop operating B. buildings should be protected C. the earth will begin to grow colder D. more money should be spent to solve the problem 5. We can conclude that . A. civilization may be ruined if pollution is not controlled B. pollution is more serious in Europe than it is in America C. most people do not know that pollution is a serious problem D. we should learn all the answers before we begin to control pollution Passage Two Stiletto heels could be banned from the workplace because of health and safety reasons, according to British Trade Union bosses. The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear “sensible shoes”with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference. The motion states: “Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely in appropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Feet bear the burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders. Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints. Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code. More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected.” Nadline Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticized the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace. “I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye,”she said. “If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me.

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .

Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids (小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists. Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids (流星) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth. Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course. Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn’t be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk re: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare—but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It’s that simple.” The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday (毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,” said a New York Times article. 21. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids? A) They are heavenly bodies different in composition. B) They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.
