专业英语四级-89
专业英语四级-89(总分：100.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、 (总题数：3，分数：100.00)Is there a population problem? My answer 1 the question is "YES", there is a problem. The scale of human activities is now so 2 that we are appreciably 3 the climate and ecosystems in our country, the U.S. and the world.The total 4 of people on the environment is 5 to each of two factors:A)The number of people, andB)The 6 impact of each person.If we are to 7 the total impact of people on the global environment, we must address the first, or preferably both, of these 8 .There are many strong forces that will cause 9 growth of the average impact of each person on the global environment. To the extent that people in 10 countries 11 increase their material standard of living to levels more like ours, material consumption per capita will grow. So we are left with the imperative of 12 population growth, and then of studying the question, "Can this 13 population be sustained?"To gain a better appreciation of the seriousness of the problem, let us review some very elementary 14 . Let us consider a 15 that is experiencing steady growth 16 such as 5% per year.First we note that this growing quantity will double 17 in a fixed time. This doubling time is found by 18 70 by the percent growth per year. For example, the doubling time for a steady growth rate of 5% per year is 70/5=14 years.Second, we note that a few doublings can give enormous numbers. It is convenient to remember 19 ten doublings causes the growing quantity to increase in size by a factor of approximately 1000; twenty 20 will cause an increase by a factor of 1,000,000, etc.（分数：40.00）A.ofB.to √C.withD.for解析：[解析] 介词固定搭配题。
answer to the question为固定搭配，所以答案是B。
rge √B.bigC.smallD.little解析：[解析] 语义衔接题。
所填的词需要表达人类活动规模的程度。
根据上下文可知，人类对自然的影响十分大，因此the scale of human activities应立足够大才可以对自然产生影响，故答案为large，而big多用于修饰具体的有形的人或物。
A.effectingB.causingC.affecting √D.affiliating解析：[解析] 动词辨析题。
effect作动词用是“招致，达到目的”；cause后面可直接造成的结果或发生的事情，而本句中的the climate and ecosystems既不是造成的结果也不是发生的事情；affiliate是“使……加入，使成为会员”。
这三个选项都不符合句意，affect是“影响”的意思，符合题意。
A.effectB.influenceC.affectionD.impact √解析：[解析] 名词辨析题。
effect是“结果、影响，作用”；influence是“影响，作用，感化力”，一般强调某人对他人或事物的影响；affection是“喜爱”；impact是“冲击，碰撞，作用”，一般指不良影响。
根据句意，人口对环境造成了不良影响，所以选择impact。
A.connectedB.proportional √C.fundamentalD.essential解析：[解析] 形容词辨析题。
connected是“连接的，相连的”；proportional是“与……成比例的”，后面跟介词to；fundamental是“基本的，根本的”；essential是“根本的，必要的”，后面可以跟介词to，但不符合题意。
最符合题意的是B。
A.average √monC.averagedD.averaging解析：[解析] 语义衔接题。
根据句子结构分析所填词应该是形容词，修饰impact，故答案在A和B中选择，average侧重“平均的，中等的”意思，common是“普通的，一般的，日常的”。
根据each person，可以判定选择average。
A.decreaseB.reduce √C.declineD.deduce解析：[解析] 动词辨析题。
decrease是指“数量，大小的减少”；decline通常指“数目，价格，比率下降”；deduce是“推论，演绎”。
这三个词都不能与impact构成合理的动宾搭配。
reduce可以表示降低价格等，也可以表示程度、影响的降低，故选择B。
A.truthsB.factsC.factors √D.elements解析：[解析] 名词辨析及语义衔接题。
truth是“真理”；fact是“事实”；factors是“方面”；element 是“成分”。
根据上下文，both指是的前面提到的two factors，故选择C。
A.continued √B.continuousC.continualD.continuity解析：[解析] 近义词辨析题。
continued意为“继续不断的”，只能用于名词前；continuous是“连续不断的”，强调动作都没有间断过；continual是“频繁的，反复的”，强调一个动作在某个时期反复出现；continuity是名词，意为“连续性，连贯性”。
该句既不强调这一动作没有间断过，也不强调它在某个时期反复出现，所以选择Continued。
A.developedB.underdeveloped √C.technologicalplicated解析：[解析] 语义衔接题。
动词increase，所以可以确定答案为seek to，表示“追求，寻求”，to是动词不定式标志，后面接动词原形；seek after是“寻找，探索”，seek for是“寻找，寻求”，后面都接名词或动名词。
第一段最后一句our country, the U.S.可知，句中的ours就是指Our country，即美国。
众所周知，美国是发达国家，所以那些想要提高他们生活水平的国家是underdeveloped。
technological 表示“技术的”，complicated表示“复杂的”，均不符合题意。
A.seek to √B.seekC.seek afterD.seek for解析：A.enhancingB.slackingC.rupturingD.halting √解析：[解析] 动词辨析题。
enhance是“加强”；slack是“放松，松弛”；rupture是“破裂，决裂，不和”；halt是“停止，中断”。
句子的意思是“控制人口增长迫在眉睫”，所以应该用halt。
A.stable √B.overabundantC.excessiveD.overwhelming解析：[解析] 语义衔接和形容词辨析题。
stable是“稳定的，稳步的”；overabundant是“过多的，过剩的”；excessive是“过多的，过分的”；overwhelming是“压倒之势的”。
根据上下文，下一段最后一句中出现了steady growth，所填词应该是steady的近义或同义复现，所以选择A。
A.arithmeticianB.arithmeticallyC.aristocraticD.arithmetic √解析：[解析] 同根词辨析题。
arithmetician是名词，“算数家”；arithmetically是副词，“使用算数地”；arithmetic是名词，“运算，算术”；aristocratic是“贵族的，高贵的”，是一个干扰项。
根据语法判断，该空应该填名词，根据语义，应该选择arithmetic。
A.amountB.qualityC.quantity √D.number解析：[解析] 名词词义衔接和辨析题。
句子中的数字5%提示所填的词应该与数量有关，所以可以把答案限定在amount和quantity之间。
由下文多次出现的quantity可以知道此处与数字相关的词应该是quantity。
A.on a rateB.at a rate √C.of a rateD.at rate解析：[解析] 语义衔接题。
与rate搭配的介词通常是at，故可以在at a rate和at rate之间选择，rate 前通常需要加不定冠词，故答案为B。
A.in size √B.in numberC.in amountD.in measurement解析：[解析] 语义衔接题。
联系上下文可知，本句话中的this growing quantity will double...对应最后一段第二句话中的the growing quantity to increase in size...，因此所填词应该是in size，所以答案是A。

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on Answer Sheet Two.TEXT ADo you realize that every time you take a step, the bones in your hip are subjected to forces between four and five times your body weight? When you are running, this force is increased further still. What happens if through disease a hip-joint ceases to be able to resist such forces? For many years hip-joints and other body joints have been replaceable either partially or completely. It is after all a simple ball and socket joint; it has certain loads imposed on it; it needs reliability over a defined life; it must contain materials suitable for the working environment. Any engineer will recognize these ascharacteristic of a typical engineering problem, which doctors and engineers have worked together to solve, in order to bring a fresh lease of life to people who would otherwise be disabled.This typifies the way in which engineers work to help people and create a better quality of life. The fact that this country has the most efficient agricultural industry in the world is another good example. Mechanical engineers have worked with farmers and biologists to produce fertilizers, machinery and harvesting systems. This team effort has now produced crops uniformly waist high or less so that they are better suited to mechanical harvesting. Similar advances with other crops have released people from hard and boring jobs for more creative work, whilst machines harvest crops more efficiently with less waste. Providing more food for the rapidly increasing population is yet another role for the mechanical engineer.81. According to the passage, when would most weight be imposed onhip-joints?A. When one is walking.B. When one is running.C. When one is standing.D. When one is lying down.82. Engineers regard the replacement of hip-joints as a(n) ____ Problem.A. mechanicalB. medicalC. healthD. agricultural83. According to the passage, how do engineers contribute to increasing efficiency of theagricultural industry?A. By working with farmers.B. By working in teams.C. By growing crops of the same height.D. By making agricultural machinery.84. According to the context, "This team effort'" in Paragraph Two refers toA. mechanical engineers.B. doctors and engineers.C. biologists, doctors and farmers.D. farmers, biologists and engineersTEXT BNowadays, a cellphone service is available to everyone, everywhere. Probably thousands of people have already been using it, but I just discovered it, so I'm going to claim it and also name it: Fake Foning.The technology has been working well for me at the office, but there are infinite applications. Virtually in any public space.Say you work at a big university with lots of talky faculty members buzzing about. Now, say you need to use the restroom. The trip down the hall will take approximately one hour, because a person can't walk into those talky people without getting pulled aside for a question, a bit of gossip, a new read on a certain line of Paradise Lost.So, a cellphone. Any cellphone. Just pick it up. Don't dial. Just hold that phone to your face and start talking. Walk confidently down the hall engaged in fake conversation, making sure to tailor both the topic and content to the person standing before you whom you are trying to evade. For standard colleague avoidance, I suggest fake chatting about fake business:"Yes, I'm glad you called, because we really need to hammer out the details. What's that? Yes, I read Page 12, but if you look at the bottom of 4, I think you can see the problem begins right there."Be animated. Be engaged in your fake fone conversation. Make eye contact with the people passing, nod to them, gesture keen interest in talking to them at a later time, point to your phone, shrug and move on.Shoppers should consider fake foning anytime they spot a talky neighbor in the produce departmentpinching (用手捏) unripe peaches. Without your phone at your face, you'd be in for a 20-minute speech on how terrible the world is.One important caution about fake foning. The other day I was fake foning my way past a colleague, and he was actually following me to get my attention. I knew he wanted to ask about a project I had not yet finished.I was trying to buy myself some time, so I continued fake foning with my doctor. "So I don't need the operation? Oh, doctor, that is the best news."And then: Brrrrrrng! Brrrrrmg! Brrrrrmg! My phone started ringing, right there while it was planted on my face. My colleague looked at me, and I at him, and naturally I gasped. "What is the matter with this thing?" I said, pulling the phone away to look at it, and then putting it back to my ear."Hello? Are you still there?"Oops.85. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. Cellphone service is popular among people.B. Cellphone has much use in office.C. Fake foning is a new cellphone service.D. Fake foning is a new discovery.86. What is fake foning?A. A strategy to avoid people.B. A device newly produced.C. A service provided everywhere.D. A skill of communication.87. In the author's opinion, in order to make fake foning look real one has toA. talk about interesting matters.B. behave politely to people passing by.C. hold the phone while walking.D. appear absorbed in conversation.88. What does the last example show?A. One effective way is to fake fone one's doctor.B. One has to be careful while fake foning.C. Fake foning may not deceive people.D. Fake foning is always quite successful.89. After his phone suddenly began ringing, the authorA. immediately started talking to the caller.B. immediately started talking to his colleague.C. put the phone away and stopped talking.D. continued with his fake conversation.90. What is the tone of the passage?A. Critical.B. Humorous.C. Serious.D. Unclear.TEXT CIt was late in the afternoon, and I was putting the final touch on a piece of writing that I was feeling pretty good about. I wanted to save it, but my cursor had frozen. I tried to shut the computer down, and it seized up altogether. Unsure of what else todo, I yanked (用力猛拉) the battery out.Unfortunately, Windows had been in the midst of a delicate and crucial undertaking. The next morning, when I turned my computer back on, it informed me that a file had been corrupted and Windows would not load. Then, it offered to repair itself by using the Windows Setup CD.I opened the special drawer where I keep CDs. But no Windows CD in there.I was forced to call the computer company's Global Support Centre. My call was answered by a woman in some unnamed, far-off land. I find it annoying to make small talk with someone when I don't know what continent they're standing on. Suppose I were to comment on the beautiful weather we've been having when there was a monsoon at the other end of the phone? So I got right to the point."My computer is telling me a file is corrupted and it wants to fix itself, but I don't have the Windows Setup CD.""So you're having a problem with your Windows Setup CD." She has apparently been dozing and, having come to just as the sentence ended, was attempting to cover for her inattention.It quickly became clear that the woman was not a computer technician. Her job was to serve as a gatekeeper, a human shield for the technicians. Her sole duty, as far as I could tell, was to raise global stress levels.To make me disappear, the woman gave me the phone number for Windows' creator, Microsoft. This is like giving someone the phone number for, I don't know, North America. Besides, the CD worked; I just didn't have it. No matter how many times I repeated my story, we came back to the same place. She was calm and resolutely polite.When my voice hit a certain decibel (分贝), I was passed along, like a hot, irritable potato, to a technician."You don't have the Windows Setup CD, ma'am, because you don't need it," he explained cheerfully."Windows came preinstalled on your computer!""But I do need it.""Yes, but you don't have it." We went on like this for a while. Finally, he offered to walk me through the use of a different CD, one that would erase my entire system. "Of course, you'd lose all your e-mail, your documents, your photos." It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache. "You might be able to recover them, but it would be expensive." He sounded delighted. "And it's not covered by the warranty (产品保证书)!" The safe began to seem like a good idea, provided it was full.I hung up the phone and drove my computer to a small, friendly repair place I'd heard about. A smart, helpful man dug out a Windows CD and told me it wouldn't be a problem. An hour later, he called to let me know it was ready. I thanked him, and we chatted about the weather, which was the same outside my window as it was outside his.91. Why did the author shut down her computer abruptly?A. She had saved what she had written.B. She couldn't move the cursor.C. The computer refused to work.D. The computer offered to repair itself.92. Which of the following is the author's opinion about the woman at the Global Support Centre?A. She sounded helpful and knowledgeable.B. She was there to make callers frustrated.C. She was able to solve her computer problem.D. She was quick to pass her along to a technician.93. According to the passage, the solution offered by the technician wasA. effective.B. economical.C. unpractical.D. unacceptable.94. "It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache" in the last but one paragraph means thatA. the technician's proposal would make things even worse.B. the technician's proposal could eventually solve the problem.C. files stored on her computer were like a safe.D. erasing the entire system was like curing a headache.95. It can be inferred from the passage that the differences between the Global Support Centre and the local repair shop lie in all the following EXCEPTA. efficiency.B. location.C. setup CDs.D. attitudeTEXT DNot long ago, a mysterious Christmas card dropped through our mail slot. The envelope was addressed to a man named Raoul, who, I was relatively certain, did not live with us. The envelope wasn't sealed, so I opened it. The inside of the card was blank. Ed, my husband, explained that the card was both from and to the newspaper deliveryman. His name was apparently Raoul, and Raoul wanted a holiday tip. We were meant to put a check inside the card and then drop the envelope in the mail. When your services are rendered at 4 a.m., you can't simply hang around, like a hotel bellboy expecting a tip. You have to be direct.So I wrote a nice holiday greeting to this man who, in my imagination, fires The New York Times from his bike aimed at our front door, causing more noise with mere newsprint than most people manage with sophisticated black market fireworks.With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness but carefully executed spite: I had not tipped Raoul in Christmases past. I honestly hadn't realized I was supposed to. This was the first time he'd used the card tactic. So I got out my checkbook. Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year of services to a Mafia-style protection racket (收取保护费的黑社会组织).Several days later, I was bringing our garbage bins back from the curb when I noticed an envelope taped to one of the lids. The outside of the envelope said MICKEY. It had to be another tip request, this time from our garbage collector. Unlike Raoul, Mickey hadn't enclosed his own Christmas card from me. In a way, I appreciated the directness. "I know you don't care how merry my Christmas is, and that's fine," the gesture said. "I want $30, or I'll 'forget' to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day."I put a check in the envelope and taped it back to the bin. The next morning, Ed noticed that the envelope was gone, though the trash hadn't yet been picked up: "Someone stole Mickey's tip!" Ed was quite certain. He made me call the bank and cancel the check.But Ed had been wrong. Two weeks later, Mickey left a letter from the bank on our steps. The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled. The following Tuesday morning, when Ed saw a truck outside, he ran out with his wallet. "Are you Mickey?"The man looked at him with scorn. "Mickey is the garbageman. I am the recycling." Not only had Ed insulted this man by hinting that he was a garbageman, but he had obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back insidefor more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole transaction. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. "Anyone else?"Had we consulted the website of the Emily Post Institute, this embarrassing breach of etiquette (礼节) could have been avoided. Under "trash/recycling collectors" in the institute's Holiday Tipping Guidelines, it says: "$10 to $30 each." You may or may not wish to know that your pet groomer, hairdresser, mailman and UPS guy all expect a holiday tip.96. The newspaper deliveryman put a blank card inside the envelope becauseA. he forgot to write a few words on it.B. he wanted the couple to send it back.C. he used it to ask for a Christmas tip.D. he was afraid of asking for a tip in person.97. From the passage, we learn that the authorA. didn't like Raoul's way of delivering the paper.B. didn't realize why Raoul delivered the paper that way.C. didn't know that Raoul came very early in the morning.D. didn't feel it necessary to meet Raoul when he came.98. According to the passage, the author felt ____ to give Raoul a holiday tip.A. excitedB. delightedC. embarrassedD. forced99. Which of the following is CORRECT about Mickey, the garbage collector?A. He wrote a letter to the couple afterwards.B. He failed to collect the money from the bank.C. He wanted the couple to send him a Christmas card.D. He collected both the cheek and the garbage that day.100. Ed's encounter with the recycling team shows thatA. Ed was desperate to correct his mistake.B. Ed only wanted to give money to Raoul.C. Ed was unwilling to tip the truck driver.D. Ed no longer wanted to give them money.PART VI WRITING [45 MINI]SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]Tourism is a booming business in China.
