2020年9月19日大学英语四级选词填空真题OpinionThe three types of financial stressBy Paul BensonNovember 7, 2018 - 12.00amThere are three main types of financial stress that I come across on a regular basis. The first is inherited, the second is debt, and the third is longevity.Inherited financial stress is the most common and debilitating. It is experienced by those who have grown up in households where their parents regularly argued and fought about money. Money therefore becomes a stressful topic, and so the thought of sitting down and planning is about as attractive as volunteering to have a root canal done by a trainee dentist.Financial stress can make you broke, like a vicious circle.Credit:ShutterstockThose suffering inherited financial stress tend to follow one of two patterns. Either they put their head in the sand - they don't open their superannuation statements, don't budget, and certainly don't discuss financial matters with their loved ones.Alternatively they go to the other extreme, and micro-analyse everything, to the point of complete paralysis. They're convinced that whatever decision they make, it will be the wrong one.AdvertisementThe next common type of financial stress is that caused by debt. In 99 out of 100 cases of debt-induced financial stress, credit cards will be a central element. And yes, that is intentionally plural - there's never just one. Often there'll be a car loan and perhaps a mortgage, but credit cards certainly seem to be the gateway drug to debt-related financial stress.The final form of financial stress, that I see, I've somewhat imperfectly termed longevity. This manifests itself in being stressed about the normal ups and downs of investment markets - actually not so much the ups, but definitely the downs.So what can you do to prevent financial stress from holding you back?The first thing to do is have a separate bank account for your bills and regular expenses, and have an automatic transfer from your everyday account every time you get paid, to top it up.With this system up and running, you will know that whenever a bill comes in, you have the money sitting there waiting to pay it. This means, a) no more stress, and b) no need to hit the credit card.AdvertisementRelated ArticleOpinionHousehold debtThe pressure of living under the weight of debtThe next thing is to clear your unproductive debts. Determine which debt is the most expensive and focus all your attention on getting rid of it. Again, use automatic transfers as much as possible to avoid the risk of weakened willpower.Another useful way to alleviate financial stress is to have some projections done, so you have a good sense what the long-term outlook is. You'll find your super fund website will have a projection tool so you can get an estimate of where your retirement savings will end, and sites like the government's Money Smart has some good calculators for this purpose too.Worst-case planning is another great way to reduce worry. This is where you list out the biggest worries you have, and then determine what action you'd take if those things occurred. The actions may not always be pleasant, but just knowing you have a plan can remove that dark cloud floating around in the back of your brain.Finally, don't be afraid to talk about your finances with your partner or other loved ones. Especially for couples; you're a team, and chances are if you're worried about your finances but are too afraid to discuss it, so is your partner. Don't pass your inherited financial stress down to your kids.26: l normal27:E definitely28: D considerable29: Jpossibly30：B argued31: K proposition32:N tend33: C avoid34: F extreme35:G inaction2020年9月19日大学英语四级长篇阅读真题Doctor's orders:Let children just playWhether it's rough-and-tumble physical play, outdoor play, or social or pretend play, kids derive important lessons from the chance to make things up as they go, a pediatrician said.Imagine a drug that could enhance a child's creativity, critical thinking and resilience. Imagine that this drug were simple to make, safe to take and could be had for free.The nation's leading pediatricians say this miracle compound exists. In a new clinical report, they are urging doctors to prescribe it liberally to the children in their care.What is this wonder drug? Play."This may seem old-fashioned, but there are skills to be learned when kids aren't told what to do," said Dr. Michael Yogman, a Harvard Medical School pediatrician who led the drafting of the call to arms. Whether it's rough-and-tumble physical play, outdoor play, or social or pretend play, kids derive important lessons from the chance to make things up as they go, he said.The advice, issued in August by the American Academy of Pediatrics, may come as a shock to some parents. After spending years fretting over which toys to buy, which apps to download and which skill-building programs to send their kids to after school, letting them simply play - or better yet, playing with them - could seem like a step backward.The pediatricians insist that it's not. The academy's guidance does not include specific recommendations for the dosing of play. Instead, it asks doctors to advise parents before their babies turn 2 that play is essential to healthy development. It also advocates for the restoration of play in schools."Play is not frivolous," the academy's report declares. It nurtures children's ingenuity, cooperation and problem-solving skills - all of which are critical for a 21st-century workforce. It lays the neural groundwork that helps us "pursue goals and ignore distractions."When parents engage in play with their children, it deepens relationships and builds a bulwark against the toxic effects of all kinds of stress, including poverty, the academy says.In the pediatricians' view, essentially every life skill valued in adults can be built up with play."Collaboration, negotiation, conflict resolution, self-advocacy, decision-making, a sense of agency, creativity, leadership, and increased physical activity are just some of the skills and benefits children gain through play," they wrote.The pediatricians' appeal comes as American kids are being squeezed by escalating academic demands at school, the relentless encroachment of digital media and parents who either load up their schedules with organized activities or who are themselves too busy or stressed to play.The trends have been a long time coming. Between 1981 and 1997, detailed time-use studies showed that the time children spent at play declined by 25 percent. Since the adoption of sweeping education reforms in 2001, public schools have steadily increased the amount of time devoted to preparing for standardized tests.The focus on academic "skills and drills" has cut deeply into recess and other time for free play.By 2009, a study of Los Angeles kindergarten classrooms found that 5-year-olds were so burdened with academic requirements that they were down to an average of just 19 minutes per day of "choice time," when they were permitted to play freely with blocks, toys or other children. One in 4 Los Angeles teachers reported there was no time at all for "free play."Increased academic pressures have left 30 percent of U.S. kindergarten classes without any recess. Such findings prompted the American Academy of Pediatrics to issue a policy statement in 2013 on the "crucial role of recess in school."Pediatricians aren't the only ones who have noticed.In a report titled "Crisis in the Kindergarten," a consortium of educators, health professionals and child advocates called the loss of play in early childhood "a tragedy, both for the children themselves and for our nation and world." Kids in play-based kindergartens "end up equally good or better at reading and other intellectual skills, and they are more likelyto become well-adjusted healthy people," the Alliance for Childhood said in 2009.Indeed, new research demonstrates why playing with blocks might have been time better spent, Yogman said. The trial assessed the effectiveness of an early mathematics intervention aimed at preschoolers. The results showed almost no gains in math achievement.Another playtime thief: the proportion of kids' time spent in front of screens and digital devices, even among preschoolers.Last year, Common Sense Media reported that children up through age 8 spent an average of two hours and 19 minutes in front of screens each day, including an average of 42 minutes a day for those under 2.This escalation of digital use comes with rising risks of obesity, sleep deprivation and cognitive, language and social-emotional delays, the American Academy of Pediatrics warned in 2016.Yogman acknowledged that many screen-based activities can nurture some of the same areas that kids get through free play: problem-solving, spatial skills and persistence.But in young kids, especially, they are often crowding out games of make-believe, not to mention face-to-face time with peers and parents, Yogman said."I respect that parents have busy lives and it's easy to hand a child an iPhone," he said. "But there's a cost to that. For young children, it's much too passive. And kids really learn better when they're actively engaged and have to really discover things."The decline of play is a special hazard for the roughly 1 in 5 children in the U.S. who live in poverty. These 14 million children most urgently need to develop the resilience that is nurtured with play. Instead, Yogman said, they are disproportionately affected by some of the trends that are making play scarce: academic pressures at schools that need to improve test scores, outside play areas that are limited or unsafe, and parents who lack the time or energy to share in playtime."We're not the only species that plays," said Temple University psychologist Kathy Hirsh-Pasek. "Dogs, cats, monkeys, whales and even octopuses play, and when you have something that prevalent in the animal kingdom, it probably has a purpose."Yogman also worries about the pressures that squeeze playtime for more affluent kids. "The notion that as parents we need to schedule every minute of their time is not doing them a great service," he said. Even well-meaning parents may be "robbing them of the opportunity to have that joy of discovery and curiosity."Section B36. [H] Another playtime thief: the growing proportion of kids’ time spent in front of screens and digital devices.37. [E] The focus on academic “skills and drills” has cut deeply into recess and other time for free play.38. [] 缺失原文和选项39. [G] a consortium of educators, health professionals and child advocates called the loss of play in early childhood “a tragedy, both for the children themselves and for our nation and world.”40. [D] When parents engage in play with their children, it deepens relationships and builds a bulwark against the toxic effects of all kinds of stress.41. [I] And kids really learn better when they’re actively engaged and have to really discover things.42. [C] letting them simply play — or better yet, playing with them — could seem like a step backward.43. [K] Yogman also worries about the pressures that squeeze playtime for more affluent kids.44. [F] By 2009, a study of Los Angeles kindergarten classrooms found that 5-year-olds were so burdened with academic requirements that they were down to an average of just 19 minutes per day of “choice time,” when they were permitted to play freely with blocks, toys or other children.45. [B] This may seem old-fashioned，but there are skills to be leaned when kids aren’t told what to do.解析：36题的选项中出现了steals away, 可以根据H段的首句playtime thief以及digital devices定位得出。

2020年9月英语六级真题及参考答案【完整版】四六级试卷采用多题多卷形式，大家核对答案时，请找具体选项内容，忽略套数。

【网络综合版】听力：Section ALong Conversation OneM:You are a professor of Physics at the University of Oxford.You are a senior advisor at the European Organization for Nuclear Research.You also seem to tour the global tirelessly,giving talks. And in addition,you have your own weekly TV show On Science. Where do you get the energy?W:Oh,well.【Q1】I just love what I do.I am extremely fortunate to have this life,doing what I love doing.M:Professor,what exactly is your goal?Why do you do all of these?W:well,as you said,I do have different things going on.But these I think can be divided into【Q2】two groups:the education of science,and the further understanding of science.M:Don't these two things get in the way of each other?What I mean is,doesn't giving lectures take time away from the lab?W:Not really,no.I love teaching,and I don’t mind spending more time doing that now than in the past.Also,what I will say is, that【Q3】teaching a subject helps me comprehend it better myself.I find that it furthers my own knowledge when I have to explain something clearly,when I have to aid others understanding it,and when I have to answer questions about it. Teaching at a high level can be very stimulating for anyone,no matter how much expertise they may already have in the field they are instructing.M:Are there any scientific breakthroughs that you see on the near horizon?A significant discovery or invention we can expect soon.W:【Q4】The world is always conducting science.And there're constantly new things being discovered.In fact,right now,we have too much data sitting in computers.For example,we havethousands of photos of planet Mars taken by telescopes that nobody has ever seen.We have them,yet nobody has had time to look at them with their own eyes,let alone analyze them.Q1:Why does the woman say she can be so energetic?Q2:What has the woman been engaged in?Q3:What does the woman say about the benefit teaching brings to her?Q4:How does the woman say new scientific breakthroughs can be made possible?Section AConversation2M:Do you think dreams【Q5】have special meanings?W:No.I don't think they do.M:I don't either,but some people do.I would say people who believe that dreams have special meanings are superstitious, especially nowadays.In the past,during the times of ancient Egypt,Greece or China,people used to believe that dreams could foresee the future.But today,with all the scientificknowledge that we have,I think it's much harder to believe in these sorts of things.W:My grandmother is superstitious,and she thinks dreams can predict the future.Once,【Q6】she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashed.Can you guess what she did?She didn't take that flight.She didn't even bother to go to the airport the following day.Instead,she took the same flight but a week later.And everything was fine of course.No plane ever crashed.M:How funny!Did you know that flying is actually safer than any other mode of transport?It's been statistically proven.People can be so irrational sometimes.W:Yes,absolutely.But,even if we think they are ridiculous,【Q7】emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.M:Exactly.People do all sorts of crazy things because of their irrational feelings.But in fact,some psychologists believe that our dreams are the result of our emotions and memories from that day.I think it was Sigmund Freud who said that children's dreams were usually simple representations of their wishes, thingsthey wished would happen.【Q8】But in adults',dreams are much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.W:Isn't it interesting how psychologists try to understand using the scientific method something as bazaar as dreams? Psychology is like the rational study of irrational feelings.Q5:What do both speakers think of dreams?Q6:Why didn't the woman's grandmother take her scheduled flight?Q7:What does the woman say about people's emotions?Q8:What did psychologist Sigmund Freud say about adults' dreams?Section BPassage1While some scientists explore the surface of the Antarctic, others are learning more about a giant body of water--four kilometers beneath the ice pack.Scientists first discovered Lake Vostok in the1970s by using radio waves that penetrate the ice.Since then,they have used sound waves and even satellites to map this massive body of water.How does the water in Lake Vostok remained liquid beneath an ice sheet?“The thick glacier above acts like insulating blanket and keeps the water from freezing,”said Martin Siegert,a glaciologist from the university of Wales.In addition,geothermal heat from the deep within the earth may warm the hidden lake.The scientists suspect that microorganisms may be living in Lake Vostok,closed off from the outside world for more than two million years.Anything found that will be totally alien to what’s on the surface of the earth,said Siegert.Scientists are trying to find a way to drill into the ice and draw water samples without causing contamination.Again,robots might be the solution.If all goes as planned,a drill-shift robot will melt through the surface ice.When it reaches the lake,it will release another robot that can swim in the lake,take pictures and look for signs of life.The scientists hope that discoveries will shed light on life in outer space,which might exist in similar dark and airless conditions.Recently closed-up pictures of Jupiter’s moon, Europa,shows signs of water beneath the icy surface.Once tested the Antarctic,robots could be set to Europa to search for life there,too.Q9:What did the scientists first use to discover Lake Vostok in the1970s?Q10:What did scientists think about Lake Vostok?Q11:What do the scientists hope their discoveries will do?Section BPassage2The idea to study the American Indian tribe–Tarahumaras, came to James Copeland in1984when【Q12】he discovered that very little research had been done on their language.He contacted the tribe member through a social worker who workedwith the tribes in Mexico.At first,the tribe member named Gonzalez was very reluctant to cooperate.He told Copeland that no amount of money could buy his language.But after Copeland explained to him what he intended to do with his research and how it would benefit the Tarahumaras,Gonzalez agreed to help.【Q13】He took Copeland to his village and served as an intermediary.Copeland says,thanks to him,the Tarahumaras understood what their mission was and started trusting us.【Q14】Entering the world of Tarahumaras has been a laborious project for Copeland.To reach their homeland,hemust strive two and half days from Huston Taxes.He loads up his vehicle with goods that the tribe’s men can’t easily get and gives the goods to them as a gesture of friendship.The Tarahumaras,who don’t believe any humiliating wealth,take the food and share among themselves.For Copeland,the experience has not only been academically satisfying but also has enriched his life in several ways.【Q15】“I see people rejecting technology and living a very hard,traditional life,which offers me another notion about the meaning of progress in the western tradition,”he says,“I experienced the simplicity of living in nature that I would otherwise only be able to read about.I see a lot of beauty and their sense of sharing and concern for each other.”Q12:Why did James Copeland want to study the American Indian tribe--Tarahumaras?Q13:How did Gonzalez help James Copeland?Q14:What does the speaker say about James Copeland’s trip to the Tarahumaras village?Q15:What impresses James Copeland about the Tarahumaras tribe?Section CRecording1What is a radical?It seems today that people are terrified of the term,particularly of having the label attach to them.【Q16】Accusing individuals or groups of being radical often serves to silence them into submission,thereby,maintaining the existing state of affairs,and,more important,preserving the power of a select minority,who are mostly wealthy white males in western society.Feminism is a perfect example of this phenomenon.The women's movement has been plagued by stereotypes, misrepresentations by the media,and accusations of man-hating and radicalism.When the basic foundation of feminism is simply that women deserve equal rights in all facets of life.When faced with the threat of being labelled radical,women back down from their worthy calls and consequently,participate in their own oppression.It has gotten to the point that many women are afraid to call themselves feminists because of a stigma attached to the word. If people refused to be controlled,and intimidated by stigmas, the stigmas lose all their power,without fear on which they feed, such stigmas can only die.To me,【Q17】a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm when advocates a change in the existing state of affairs. On close inspection,it becomes clear that the norm is constantly involving,and therefore,is not a constant entity.So why then,is deviation from the present situation such a threat, when the state of affairs itself is unstable and subject to relentless transformation?It all goes back to maintaining the power of those who have it and preventing the right of those who don't.In fact,when we look at the word"radical"in a historical context,nearly every figure we now hold up as a hero was considered a radical in his or her time.Radicals are people who affect change.They are the people about whom history is written.Abolitionists were radicals, civil rights activists were radicals,【Q18】even the founders of our country in their fight to win independence from England were radicals.Their presence in history has changed the way our society functions,mainly by shifting the balance of power that previously existed.Of course,there are some radicals who've made a negative impact on humanity,【Q18】but undeniably, there would simply be no progress without radicals.That beensaid,next time someone calls me a radical,I would accept that label with pride.Q16:What usually happens when people are accused of being radical?Q17:What is the speaker's definition of a radical?Q18:What does the speaker think of most radicals in the American history?Recording2We are very susceptible to the influence of the people around us.For instance,you may have known somebody who has gone overseas for a year or so and has returned with an accent perhaps.We become part of our immediate environment.None of us are immune to the influences of our own world and let us not kid ourselves that we are untouched by the things and people in our life.Fred goes off to his new job at a factory.Fred takes histen-minute coffee break,but the other workers take half an hour. Fred says,“What’s the matter with you guys?”Two weeks later, Fred is taking twenty-minute breaks.A month later,Fred takeshis half hour.Fred is saying“If you can’t be them,join them. Why should I work any harder than the next guy?”The fascinating thing about being human is that generally we are unaware that there are changes taking place in our mentality.It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh air. Only then do we realize that we’ve become accustomed to the nasty smells.Mix with critical people and we learn to criticize. Mix with happy people,and we learn about happiness.What this means is that we need to decide what we want from life and then choose our company accordingly.You may well say,"That is going to take some effort.It may not be comfortable.I may offend some of my present company."Right,but it is your life. Fred may say,"I’m always broke,frequently depressed.I’m going nowhere and I never do anything exciting."Then we discover that Fred’s best friends are always broke,frequently depressed,going nowhere and wishing that life was more exciting.This is not coincidence,nor is it our business to stand in judgement of Fred?However,if Fred ever wants to improve his quality of life,the first thing he'll need to do is recognize what has been going on all these years.It’s no surprise that doctors as a profession suffer a lot of ill health,because they spend their life around sick people.Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons.Traditionally,nine out of ten children whose parents smoke,smoke themselves.Obesity is in part an environmental problem.Successful people have successful friends,and so the story goes on.Q19What does the speaker say about us as human beings?Q20What does the speaker say Fred should do first to improve his quality of life?Q21What does the speaker say about the psychiatrists?Section CLecture3Virtually every American can recognize a dollar bill at a mere glance.Many can identify it by its sound or texture.But【Q22】few people indeed can accurately describe the world's most powerful,important currency.The American dollar bill is colored with black ink on one side and green on the other;【Q23】the exact composition of the paper and ink is a closely guarded government secret.Despite its weighty importance,the dollar bill actually weighs little.Itrequires nearly500bills to tip the scales at a pound.Not only is the dollar bill lightweight,but it also has a brief life span.Few dollar bills survive longer than18months.The word"dollar"is taken from the German word"taler,"the name for the world's most important currency in the16th century.The taler was a silver coin first minted in1518under the reign of Charles V,Emperor of Germany.The concept of paper money is a relatively recent innovation in the history of American currency.When the Constitution was signed,people had little regard for paper money because of its steadily decreasing value during the colonial era.【Q24】Because of this lack of faith,the new American government minted only coins for common currency.Interest-bearing bank notes were issued at the same time,but their purpose was limited to providing money for urgent government crises,such as American involvement in the War of1812.The first noninterest-bearing paper currency was authorized by Congress in1862,at the height of the Civil War.At this point, citizens'old fears of devalued paper currency had calmed,and the dollar bill was born.The new green colored paper money quickly earned the nickname"greenback."Today,the American dollar bill is a product of the Federal Reserve and is issued from the twelve Federal Reserve banks around the United States.The government keeps a steady supply of approximately two billion bills in circulation at all times.Controversy continues to surround the true value of the dollar bill.【Q25】American history has seen generations of politicians argue in favor of a gold standard for American currency. However,for the present,the American dollar bill holds the value that is printed on it,and little more.The only other guarantee on the bill is a Federal Reserve pledge of as a confirmation in the form of government securities.Q22:What does the speaker say about the American dollar bill?Q23:What does the speaker say about the exact composition of the American dollar bill?Q24:Why did the new American government mint only coins for common currency?Q25:What have generations of American politicians argued for?参考答案1.A)She can devote all her life to pursing her passion.2.D)Science education and scientific research.3.A)A better understanding of a subject.4.B)By making full use of the existing data.5.B)They have no special meanings.6.C)She dreamed of a plane crash.7.D)They can have an impact as great as rational thinking8.C)They reflect their complicated emotions.9.A)Radio waves.10.B)It may have micro—organisms living in it.11.D)Shed light on possible life in outer space.12.A)He found there had been little research on their anguage.13.D)He acted as an intermediary between Copel and the villagers.14.C)Laborious15.B)Their sense of sharing and caring.16.A)They tend to be silenced into submission.17.D)One who rebels against the existing social orser.18.C)They served as a driving force for progress.19.B)It is impossible for us to be immune from outside influence.20.D)Recognize the negative impact of his coworkers.21.A)They are quite susceptible to suicide.22.B)Few people can describe it precisely.23.C)It is a well—protected government secret.24.A)People had little faith in paper money.25.C)It is awell—protected government secret.翻译：《水浒传》(Water Margin)是中国文学四大经典小说之一。
