专四模拟试题附参考答案(3)4

专四模拟试题附参考答案 (3) 4For millions of years before the appearance of the electric light，shift work，all-night cable TV and the Internet， Earth’s creatures evolved on a planet with predictable and reassuring 24－hour rhythms. Our biological clocks are set for this daily cycle.Simply put，our bodies want to sleep at night and be awake during the day. Most women and men need between eight and eight and a half hours of sleep a night to function properly throughout their lives. (Contrary to popular belief，humans don’t need less sleep as they age.)But on average，Americans sleep only about seven and a half hours per night，a marked drop from the nine hours day averaged in 1910.what’s worse，nearly one third of all Americans get less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night. For most people， that’s not nearly enough.Finding ways to get more and better sleep can be a challenge. Scientists have identified more than 80 different sleep disorders. Some sleeping disorders are generic.But many problems are caused by staying up late and sleeping in， by traveling frequently between time zones or by working nights. Dr. James. F. Jones at National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver says that sleep disorders are often diagnosed at other discomforts.About one thirdof the patients referred to him with possible chronic fatigue syndrome actually have treatable sleep disorders. “Before we do anything else， we look at their sleep，” Jones says.Sleep experts say that most people would benefit from a good look at their sleep patterns，“My motto (座右铭) is ‘sle ep defensively’，” says Mary Carskadon of Brown University. She says people need to carve out sufficient time to sleep， even if it means giving up other things.Sleep routines－like going to bed and getting up at the same time every day－are important.Pre－bedtime activities also make a difference. As with Elsneer， who used to suffer from sleeplessness， a few lifestyle change－avoiding stimulants and late meals， exercising hours before bedtime， relaxing with a hot bath—yield better sleep.90.What is TRUE of human sleep？A. Most people need less sleep when grow older.B. Most people need seven and a half hours of sleep every night.C. On average， people in the U. S. today sleep less per night than they used to.D. For most people， less than six hours of sleep on a typical worknight is enough.91.For our bodies to function properly， we should .A. sleep for at least eight hours per nightB. believe that we need less sleep as we ageC.adjust our activities to the new inventionsD. be able to predict the rhythms of our biological clocks92.According to the author， many sleeping disorders are causedby .A. other diseasesB.pre－bedtime exercisesC.improper sleep patternsD.Chronic fatigue syndrome93.Which of the following measures can help you sleep better？A. Staying up late.B. Taking a hot bath.C. Having late meals.D. Traveling between time zones.94.“Sleep defensively” means that .A. people should go to a doctor and have their problems diagnosedB.people should exercise immediately before going to bed every nightC. people should sacrifice other things to get enough sleep if necessary.D. People should give up going to bed and going up at the same every day.TEXT DThe word laser was coined as an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Ordinary light， from the Sun or a light bulb， is emitted spontaneously， when atoms or molecules get rid of excess energy by themselves， without any outside intervention.Stimulated emission is different because it occurs when an atom or molecule holding onto excess energy has been stimulated to emit it as light.Albert Einstein was the first to suggest the existence of stimulated emission in a paper published in 1917. However， for many years physicists thought that atoms and molecules always were much more likely to emit light spontaneously and that stimulated emission thus always would be much weaker. It was not until after the Second WorldWar that physicists began trying to make stimulated emission dominate. They sought ways by which one atom or molecule could stimulate many others to emit light， amplifying it to much higher powers.The first to succeed was Charles H. Townes， then at Columbia University in New York. Instead of working with light， however， he worked with microwaves， which have a much longer wavelength， and built a device he called a “maser” ， for Microwave Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation.Although he thought of the key idea in 1951， the first maser was not completed until a couple of years later. Before long， many other physicists were building masers and trying to discover how to produce stimulated mission at even shorter wavelengths.The key concepts emerged about 1957. Townes and Arthur Schawlow，then at Bell Telephone Laboratories， wrote a long paper outlining the conditions needed to amplify stimulated emission of visible light waves. At about the same time， similar ideas crystallized in the mind of Gordon Gould， then a 37-year-old graduate student at Columbia， who wrote them down in a series of notebooks. Townes and Schawlow published their ideas in a scientific journal， Physical Review Letters， but Gould filed a patent application. Some decades later， people still argue about who deserves the credit for the concept of the laser.95.Which of the following statements best describes a laser？A.A device for stimulating atoms and molecules to emit light.B.An atom in a high-energy state.C.A technique for destroying atoms or molecules.D.An instrument for measuring light waves.96.Why was Townes' early work with stimulated emission done with microwaves？A.He was not concerned with light amplification.B.It was easier to work with longer wavelengths.C.His partner Schawlow had already begun work on the laser.D.The laser had already been developed.97.In his research at Columbia University， Charles Townes workedwith all of the following EXCEPT .A.stimulated emissionB.microwavesC.light amplificationD.a maser98.In approximately what year was the first maser built？A.1917.B.1951.C.1953.D.1957.99.Why do people still argue about who deserves the credit for the concept of the laser？A. The researchers' notebooks were lost.B. Several people were developing the idea at the same time.C .No one claimed credit for the development until recently.D. The work is still incomplete.100.According to the passage，Townes，Arthur Schawlow，and Gordon Gould didn't .A. come up with similar ideas about laserB. write their ideas downC.work at Columbia UniversityD. do their share for the study of the laserTEXT EYou may not have thought of it just this way, but the letter you write is part of you,and expression of your personality. Thereforeto write letters that are mere patterns of form is to present a colorless personality.Letters, by their very nature, are too individual to be standardized.A letter may be absolutely perfect according to the standards of good taste and good form; but unless it also expresses something of the writer's personality, it is not a good letter.In other words, don't be satisfied to write letters that are just correct and nothing more. Try to write letters that are correct for you... letters that are warm and alive with reflections of your own personality.And if this sounds like a platitude (陈词滥调), stop for a moment and think back over your recent correspondence.What was the most interesting letter you received?Was it a letter anyone could have written? Or was it a letter that instantly “came alive” as you read it—that brought the personality of the sender right into the room with you. as though you were face to face, listening instead of reading?The fault with too many letters, today as in the past—the reason so many letters are dull and lifeless, and often fail to accomplish the purpose for which they are written is simply this: They sound exactly like the letters everyone else writes.They are neither exciting to receive nor stimulating to read.98. What does the author mean by saying “the letter you write ispart of you”?A. Writing letters plays an important part in your life.B. When you write letters, you should be careful about what to write.C. People can see your personality from the letters you write.D. You should write good letters.99. What does the author want to explain in the fourth paragraph?A. A good letter presents one's personality.B. His opinion is a platitude.C.Letter-writing is interesting.D. Talking face to face is a better way to communicate than writing letters.100. The best title for the passage is___________.A. Letter WritingB. Personality in Letter WritingC. To Write Interesting LettersD. To Write Correct Letters。

专业英语四级(阅读)模拟试卷3(题后含答案及解析)

专业英语四级（阅读）模拟试卷3(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1.5%. Much of the debt that students are taking on is provided or guaranteed by the government. Imposing write-offs on all taxpayers to benefit those with the best job prospects is unfair; and ripping up contracts between borrowers and private lenders is usually a bad idea. That said, student-loan systems in America and elsewhere are often badly designed for an extended period of high unemployment. In contrast to the housing crash, the risk from student debt is not of a sudden explosion in losses but of gradual financial suffocation. The pressure needs to be eased. One option is to change the bankruptcy laws. In America, Britain and elsewhere, these treat student debt as a special case: unlike other forms of debt, it cannot be wiped out. If student debt is not to bound existing graduates and put off future ones, the rules could be changed so that it is dischargeable in bankruptcy. Yet the reasoning behind the current bankruptcy provisions is logical enough; education is an asset that cannot be repossessed and that keeps on benefiting the individual through his or her lifetime. Some worry that graduates would rush to declare bankruptcy, handing losses to taxpayers. So a second option is preferable. Many countries, America included, have designed student debt primarily as a mortgage-like obligation: it is repaid to a fixed schedule. Other places, like Britain and Australia, make student-loan repayments contingent(依情况而定的)on reaching an income threshold so that the prospect of taking on debt is more acceptable to people from poorer backgrounds. That approach makes sense, especially when jobs are scarce. Barack Obama this week proposed to limit loan payments for some struggling American graduates to 10% of discretionary(任意的)income and forgive outstanding debt after 20 years. Income-based repayment ought to become the norm. Both changes would lead to a repricing of student debt. That would be a bad thing for taxpayers, but a good thing overall. If such information were made public, other useful data would follow—on the average financial returns to graduates of specific subjects, for example. Those studying less profitable subjects would have to pay more, or be subsidised more. It would be a controversial approach, but a more educated one.5．We can learn from the first two paragraphs that_____.A．high unemployment rates make it hard for students to get loansB．rising university fees is a valid way to balance the student loansC．student indebtedness has become an increasingly tricky issueD．credit quality has been improved including student debts正确答案：C解析：推理题。

All spiders produce silk, but only some construct webs to catch their homes and to protect their eggs.All spiders possess poison glands but very few of them are dangerous to humans, of the 600+species in Britain only 12 (atleast one of these is a recent human assisted colonist) are strong enough to pierce the human skin, and apart from allergies, none are more dangerous than a common wasp. Most spiders have 8 eyes (though some have 6,4,2 or 0), as well as 8 legs. (by the way if you count the claws as separate leg section [which you shouldn't really] then their legs have 8 parts as well [coxa, trochanter, femur, patella, tibia, tarsus, metatarus, claws]) There are more than 32000 known species of spider in the world. No human being has ever been officially recorder as having died as the result of a 'tarantula' bite. All spiders are carnivorous and feed only on liquids, i.e. their preys natural juices and the breakdown products of external digestion (meaning they spit, exude or inject digestive juices onto/into their prey ad suck up the resulting soup). So why not invite some to your next social do? What's In a NameThe word 'Arachnida' comes from the Greek word 'Arachne' who was the daughter of Idmon of Colophon in Lydia, a dyer by trade. Arachne herself was a weaver, the best in all the known world. However in a foolish moment she challenged Athene, the daughter of Zeus and goddess of, among otherthings, waving to a weaving competition. Arachne wove so perfect a cloth that she tore it to shreds. Arachne became depressed after this and in the end she hung herself. Athene stirred to remorse at the knowledge of what her anger had wrought turned the rope Arachne had used to hang herself into a web and Arachne herself into a spider so that the beauty of her spinning should not be lost to the world ever again.The Great Household Spider SafariThere are just over six hundred different sorts of spider in the British Isles. But of these only a handful are commonly found inhouses. At the front of the head are a pair of what appear to be small legs. These are called palps and are used to guide food to the spider's mouth. The front of the head also has a group of six or eight eyes. On the underside of the body at the rear, are four or six small conical bumps or cylinders. There are the spinnerets from which the spider produces the silk to make its webs.Telling male and female spiders apart is easily done by looking at their palps. Males have swollen ends to their palps which makes them look as if they are wearing boxing gloves, these are often strange shapes if looked at with a hand lens. Females have normal looking palps that are not swollen at the ends.The largest spider is the Goliath spider, the female of which grows to reach a leg span of ten inches. The largest spider in Britain is the Cardinal spider which is a close cousin of Tim Tegenaria. Females can achieve a leg span of four and a half inches. It is known as the Cardinal spider as it was common in Hampton Court when Cardinal Wolsey lived there. The sight of these long legged spiders wandering around the palace at night used to frighten him. So far 32000 different kinds of spider have been discovered from all over the world. Britain has 630 different kinds of spider of which 250 are tiny Money spiders. The smallest of which has a body less than one millimeter long.1.All the silk produced by spiders construct webs to catch their food2.Not all the poison glands possessed by spiders are dangerous to human beings.3.Spiders often kill humans in Britain when they pierce human skin.4.After seeing her enemy commits suicide, Arachne turnedAthena into a spider.5.TimTegenaria spiders are closely related to tarantula spiders; both are found in Britain.6.So far32000 different kinds of spiders have been discovered from all over the world.7.Money spiders are the smallest spiders found in the Arachnids family.8.There are more than known species of spider in the world.9.Telling male and female spiders apart is easily done by .10.The largest spider isPart III Listening Comprehension (35 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.In the early days of the internet, many people worried that as people in the rich world embraced new computing and communications technologies,people in the poor world would be left stranded on thewrong side of a "digital divide." Yet the debate over the digital divide is founded on a myth - hat plugging poor countries into the internet will help them to become rich rapidly.This is highly unlikely, because the digital divide is not a problem in itself, but a symptom of deeper, more important divides: of income, development and literacy. Fewer people in poor countries than in rich ones own computers and have access to the internet simply because they are too poor, are illiterate, or have other more immediate concerns, such as food, health care and security. So even if it were possible to wave a magic wand and cause a computer to appear in every household on earth, it would not achieve very much: a computer is not useful if you have no food or electricity and cannot read. Yet such Wand-waving - through the construction of specific local infrastructure projects such as rural telecenters - is just the sort of thing for which the UN's new fund is intended.This sort of thing is the wrong way to go about addressing the inequality in access to digital technologies: it is treating the symptoms, rather than the underlying causes. The benefits of building rural computing centers, for example, are unclear. Rather than trying to close the divide for the sake of it, the more sensible goal is to determine how best to use technology to promote bottom-up development. And the answer to that question turns out to be remarkably clear: by promoting the spread not of PCs and the Internet, but of mobile phones.57. What is the main idea of this passage?A) Plugging poor countries into the Internet will help them to become rich rapidly.B) Poor countries should be given more basic devices other than advanced ones.C) Rich countries should help poor ones becoming rich.D) People in poor countries cannot afford devices such as computer.58. What did the author mean by referring "digital divide." (Line 3, Para.1)?A) Digital technology will make the gap between rich world and poor world wider.B) Digital technology will divide people into rich and poor world.C) People can be divided digitally.D) To divide people in digital world is wrong.59. We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that.A) people in poor countries cannot use computer because of illiteracy.B) poor people cannot use computers.C) there would be no magic to cause a computer to appear in every household on earth.D) people in poor countries need more basic living conditions thancomputers.60. Considering the following sentences, which one would the author most agree?A) Digital technology is useless.B) Digital divide will help poor countries becoming rich.C) Poor people need more immediate concerns, such as food, health care and security.D) Mobile phones should be promoted firstly.61. The following passage will probably be:A) How to promote using of mobile phones.B) How to use technology to promote bottom-up development.C) The benefits of building rural computing centers.D) How to meet the need of food, health and security in poor countries. Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors (流星 ) but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called "rem". Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 reins has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage - a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will no be discovered until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren.Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of theatmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.62. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that ____.A) it protects him against the harmful rays from spaceB) it provides sufficient light for plant growthC) it supplies the heat necessary for human survivalD) it screens off the falling meteors63. We know from the passage that ____.A) exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatalB) the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in comingC) radiation is avoidable in space explorationD) astronauts in spacesuits needn't worry about radiation damage64. The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members ____A) is significant B) seems overestimatedC) is enormous D) remains unknown65. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.A) the Apollo mission was very successfulB) protection from space radiation is no easy jobC) astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildrenD) radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers66. The best title for this passage would be ____.A) The Atmosphere and Our EnvironmentB) Research on RadiationC) Effects of Space RadiationD) Importance of Protection Against RadiationPart V Cloze (15 minutes)Direction: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

There engines are ___________.(不如我们制造的那些发动机功率大)答案Part IGlobal WarmingIn these times, people all over the world are starting to learn the influence that global warming has on people everywhere. it is a sad truth that this issue is affecting not only merely the weather, but not everyday lives as well.These are numerous reasons to explain this; here I would like to explore some of the most important ones. The development of modern industry mustbe the biggest reason. Carbon dioxide exerted from some factories is believed to be contributing to the accelerated warming our atmosphere. In addition, the way that we are consuming a greater and greater amount of energy in the process of our day-to-day lives is only exacerbating this problem.Talking into consideration those factors discussed above, I believe there are at least two measures we can take: on one hand, the government should come up with more effective and stricter laws for the regulation of industrial emissions and byproducts. On the other hand, as individuals, we need to get into the habit of saving energy. With joint effort from every one of us, we can certainly hope for a lasting solution to this problem one day.Part II1.F.当出现all这种过于绝对的词语时，考生应该引起注意。

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.TEXT ASteve Courtney wrote historical novels. Not, he was quick to explain, over colorful love stories of the kind that made so much money for so many women writer, but novels set, and correctly set, in historical periods. Whatever difference he saw in his own books, his readers did not seem to notice it, and his readers were nearly all women. He had studied at university, but he had not been a particularly good student, and he had never afterwards let any academic knowledge he had gained interfere with his writing.Helen, his wife, who did not have a very high opinion of her husband's ability as a novelist, had been careful to say when she married him that she was not historically minded・Above all, Helen was doubtful whether her relationship with Steve would work at all in the village of Stretton, to which they had just moved・ It was Steve who had wanted to move to the country, and she had been glad of the change, in principle, whatever doubts she was now having about Stretton as a choice・ But she wondered whether Steve would not, before very long, want to live in London again, and what she would do if he did. The Stretton house was not a weekend cottage・ They had moved into it and given up the London flat altogether, partly at least, she suspected, because that she Sieve's idea of what a successful author ought to do. However, she thought he was not going to feel like a successful author half as much in Stretton as he had in London. On the other had, she supposed he might just start dashing up to London for the day to see his agent or have lunch with his publisher, leaving her behind in Stretton, and she thought on the whole she would like that.66.Which of the following is true about Steve's attitude towards women who wrote love stories?A.He had a low opinion of the kind of books they wrote.B・ He was afraid of being compared unfavorably with them.C・ He would have liked to earn as much money as they did.D・ He did not think he could write about the same subjects.67.Helen thought Steve might not be content in Stretton because ___ .A・ his relationship with Helen was changingB.he would not feel so important in StrettonC・ he would not be able to write so well thereD. he would not be lonely without all his friends6&We learn from the passage that Steve's novels were ____ .A. popular but unimportantB・ serious works of literatureC.admired for their historical truthD.written with women readers in mindTEXTBWhen Franklin D・ Roosevelt was elected Preside nt of the United States in 1932, not only the United States but also the rest of the world was in the throes of an economic depression. Following the termination of World War I,Britain and the United States at first experienced a boom in industry. Called the Roaring Twenties, the 1920s ushered in a number of things 一prosperity, greater equality for women in the work world, rising consumption, and easy credit. The outlook for American business was rosy.October 1929 was a month that had catastrophic economic reverberations worldwide. The American stock market witnessed the ''Great Crash/1 as it is called, and the temporary boom in the American economy came to a standstill. Stock prices sank, and panic spread・ The ensuing unemployment figure soared to 12 million by 1932. Germany in the postwar years suffered from burdensome compensation it was obliged to pay to the Allies. The country's industrial capacity had been greatly diminished by the war. Inflation, political instability, and high unemployment were factors helpful to the growth of the initial Nazi party. Germans had lost confidence in their old leaders and heralded the arrival of a messiah-like figure who would lead them out of their economic wilderness. Hitler promised jobs and, once elected, kept his promise by providing employment in the party, in the newly expanded army, and in munitions factories.Roosevelt was elected because he promised a "New Deal” to lift the United States out of the doldrums of the depression. Following the principles advocated by Keynes, a British economist, Roosevelt collected the spending capacities of the federal government to provide welfare, work, and agricultural aid to the millions of down-and-out Americans. Elected President for four terms because of his innovative policies, Roosevelt succeeded in dragging the nation out of the depression before the outbreak of World War II.69.Which of the following was NOT true at the time Roosevelt was elected?A・ Stock prices were recovering slowly・B.The nation was in a deep depression.C.There were 12 million unemployed workers.D・ The nation needed help from the federal government.70.The "'Great Crash n in the passage refers to ____ .A.the end of World War IB.the Great DepressionC・ high unemployment figuresD.a slump in the stock market71.We can infer that the author of this passage ____ ・A. disapproves of Roosevelt's "New Deal HB・ thinks the Depression could have been avoidedC・ blames the Depression on the "Great Crash0D. feels there was some similarity between Roosevelt and Hitler72.The best title for the passage is ___ ・A.The TwentiesB.The Great CrashC・ The DepressionD. The End of World War ITPYT rThe thr ee biggest lies in America are: (1) "The check is in the mail.” (2) "Of course Fll respect you in the morning.11 (3) H It was a computer error/1Of these three little white lies, the worst of the lot by far is the third・ It's the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of '900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say: H It was a computer error.n Nonsense・ The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it. The most irritatingcase of all is when the computerized cash register in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: n It was a computer eiror「It wasnt of course・ That high-tech cash register is really nothing more than an electric eye. The eye reads the Universal Product Code — that ribbon of black and white lines in a comer of the package 一and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, youll be charged accuratel y.Grocery stores update the price list each day — that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow n a computer error11 is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are "electric brains1' with H artificial intelligence/1 At some point there might be a machine with intelligence, but none exists today. The smartest computer on earth right now is no more "intelligent than your average screwdriver. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.73.We are told that a high-tech cash register is really just ___ ・A. an electric instrument of sightB・ a simple adding machineC・ a way to keep employees honestD・ an expensive piece of window dressing74.Grocery store price lists are updated by ____ .A.a seannerB.a telephone hookupC・ an adding machineD. an employee75.Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B・ Computer errors are basically human errors・puters can help department stores update the price list.D.Supermarket price errors are often made through dishonesty.TEXTDAll R&D executives have two major responsibilities: (1) they must ensure that the company is supplied with technically successful projects, and (2) they must select the most promising schemes and ideas for the expenditure of R&D resources. This work is complicated by numerous uncertainties, inasmuch as commercial research and development must be based on market forecasts.If R&D management can provide a regular flow of new and updated products, the company will benefit in a number of ways・ First of all, it will be able to make full use of expensive departmental resources, development engineering and available marketing capacity・ In addition to that, a flow of new market winners will provide the business with steady growth income and profits. This can also be important psychologically, for it is often on this basis that those outside the company assess the quality of its management.The R&D departments job is made more difficult because of the length of time required to complete its research・In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, for example, it may take five to ten years before a product is a technical success and a further six to eight years before it reaches full commercial potential.To achieve results, R&D must define both the areas that should be investigated and the objectives that should be achieved in each area. For this reason, the R&D department must take an interest in all aspects of design,application, efficiency, and use of appropriate materials. There is a difference, however, between the development of new consumer products and the development of new industrial ones・ In specific need, and development is tailored to meet it. In many industrial markets, product development is the result of work down in the research laboratory. This work is often aimed at a general need, such as a new kind of medicine or higher operating speeds for machines. When the new industrial project has been developed, its performance can be analyzed in terms of customer needs.76.How long does it take in some industries before a product achieves full commercial potential?A.From five to ten years.B.From six to eight years・C.From seven to eleven years.D.From eleven to eighteen years.77.From the passage, we are told that consumer products are developed to ____ ・A.make use of appropriate materialsB.assess the management of a companyC.meet a specific needD.meet a general needPART VI WRITING (45 MIN)SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN.]Write a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:MY VIEW ON COLLEGE STUDENTS* PAYING THE TUITION FEEYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state clearly your viewpoint on this issue.In the second part, give one or two reasons to support your point of view・In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusiori・Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriacy.

For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.The Overworked, Networked FamilyBring up work-and-family balance at a neighbor’s barbecue, and the conversation immediately t urns toward tales of rushing out of meetings at breakneck (飞快的) speed to shuttle the kids to soccer practice or struggling to tear ourselves away for a decent vacation. Complaints about time pressure are so common that they have become a common cultural vocabulary. Everybody, it seems, is stressed out about time, and achieving “balance” has become the Holy Grail (圣杯) of middle-class family life.But maybe balance is the wrong image. Instead, think transformation. Just as businesses are shifting from Industrial Age to networks, so, too, is the American family undergoing a parallel social revolution. Parents and children are no longer on the same schedule — unlike the way things were a generation ago. With many educated mothers and fathers working longer hours, they are linked to their kids by a web of cell phones and e-mails.At the same time, kids are taking the initiative to pursue more activities and are using information technologies to nurture their own electronic networks of relationships, from friends at school to cousins in distant cities.The networked economy is leading to far different standards and expectations of what it means to be a parent and a child. It’s not simple enough for the young to get an education. Instead, the goal is to raise children to be creative and adaptable, able both to compete successfully and to collaborate with their peers from all over the world. “We have an economy whose functioning depends for the first time on the enhancement of human capability,” says Richard Florida, professor of public policy at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va.How can the typical overworked white-collar American —bombarded(轰炸) by e-mails, troubled with late-night meetings, and confronted with unexpected business trips — at the same time manage at high speed and cope with the new challenges at home? Gradually, a new body of shared rules-of-thumb (经验做法) is emerging, passed along at playgrounds and in offices. Among them: transform technology from an oppressor into a liberator.Others have mastered the art of interweaving work obligations and home life in a way that was not possible before, answering an e-mail from work one minute and helping with homework the next. And the younger members of the family — already far more sophisticated at multitasking and networking than their parents — are getting a chance to see what approaches work and what falls flat.Historically, the organization of the family has mirrored, to some degree, the organization of the workplace. Take the classic middle-class family of the 1950s and ‘60s, the “Golden Age” economy of stro ng productivity growth and abundant gains in real wages. With a secure corporate job, Dad could afford to work not much more than 40 hours a week and Mom could stay at home to raise the children. The family of that era did many things together. The classic example is eating dinner every evening at the kitchen table. The kids also followed their parents when Mom and Dad visited friends. In essence, a family acted like a single unit, with a hierarchy (等级制度) that mirrored the top-down management of factories or large industrial organizations of the day.Fast-forward to the 2000s. Today, both Mom and Dad are more likely to have careers. The combined workweek of a husband and wife in their prime working years with children is 68 hours, up from 59 hours in 1979, according to calculations by the Economic Policy Institute. The better educated the couple, the more hours they put in. At theof being outsourced to foreign countries. Instead, what’s left are the more complicated and creative tasks that can’t be easily reduced to a set of instructions.At home, standards for a healthy, emotionally rich family life are a lot higher than they used to be. Schedules during “leisure hours” are filled with music lessons and play dates for the kids, exercise classes for Mom, and occasional golf times for Dad. Parents are aware that colleges and universities look more favorably on high school students with a demonstrated ability to do many things well, not unlike the skills they will need in the workplace.To achieve these goals, families are learning to turn technology to their advantage. Many time-pressed workers now realize that technology creates greater possibilities for busy families to stay in touch and, at the same time, increase family time. When Ruder went to the work on Saturdays and Sundays, he doesn’t long for “the good old days”. “Because of technology, I probably spend more time working on the weekend now, but it’s easier on me because I can work at home, then take a run, and go out to brunch with friends,” he says.But just as excessive e-mails and conference calls fill up time on the job, there’s te mptation to use the technology to stuff too much in at home as well. Other busy people have found that it’s important to maintain fairly strict boundaries between work and home.It’s important to note that there’s no one-size-fit-all solution for the problem of reconciling long hours at work with a healthy family life. What’s more, individuals can accomplish only so much acting on their own. Schools and other major community institutions still behave as though the 40-hour workweek were the rule rather than the exception. And corporations are still loading new responsibilities and commitments onto managers and professionals, without taking away any of the old ones. Nevertheless, what’s fascinating about the current focus on managing work and family time is th at it’s rooted in an abundance of possibilities. Through trial and error, with many troubles along the way, the networked family is starting to figure out how to take advantage of the many opportunities available today. And that’s progress.1. We learn from the first paragraph that ______.A) middle-class families take achieving balance as the Holy GrailB) time pressure makes it hard for people to balance work and familyC) people are too busy to share the interesting things in their life with each otherD) complaints about time pressure have become ever more common among people2.

Used (37)_______ in price from several hundred yuan to several thousand, depending on the functions “The electronic dictionary lightens both my school bag and my work (39) _______,”said a middle school student. “Most of my classmates use electronic dictionaries for the (40) _______.” he said.Even some teachers (41) _______ electronic dictionaries. “Electronic dictionaries often allow students to read more,” said an English teacher. “they prefer to look up words they don’t understand without having to (42) _______ through a dictionary. They often find ordinary dictionaries are too complicated.”However, educators have expressed some concerns about the (43) risks of allowing students to useunder way in health care systems around the country. For example:Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are 50 paper records. While many still experience the 51 of a paper-driven system that is only slightly more sophisticated than black-and-white reruns of Marcus Welby, M.D., EHRs give leading health care providers a complete and accurate medical history as well as links to practice guidelines and best practices. Doctors can access a wide range of tools that support 52 , care management and compliance (遵循) with protocols (方案).pharmacy(药房) to patient. It’s not just about sending a prescription electronically to ensure legibility. A good e-Prescrib ing system automatically flags potentially harmful drug interactions and checks a health Plan’s reimbursement (偿还) schedule to 54 costs for patients.Personal Health Records (PHRs) are patient-owned and 55 electronic health records that allow people to store, access and coordinate their complete health history and make 56 parts available to those who need it. The key here is that individuals are in control of their own information.extreme than others.For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in a fit of blind rage, but quite another to coldly plot and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of relative degree. While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instance should be merely isolated from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to debate. But the overwhelming majority ofpenalty deters murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was consistently imposed in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100,000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been imposed only once, and the murder rate has risen to 10.4 murder rate, which began when executions stopped, is no coincidence (巧合). It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does deter many murders. If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is vetoed(否决), innocent people will be murdered —some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is literally a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of innocent people must be protected.57. The principle purpose of this passage is to ______.A) initiate a veto C) criticize the governmentB) speak for the majority D) argue for the value of the death penalty58. The author’s response to those who urge the death penalty for all degrees of murder would most likely be______ .A) friendly B) hostile C) negative D) supportive59. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that the author thinks that ______ .A) the second type murders should be sentenced to deathB) the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime is not to be debatedC) the veto of the bill reestablishing the death penalty is of little importanceD) the death penalty is the most controversial issue in the United States today60. The passage attempts to establish a relationship between ______.A) executions and murdersB) the effects of execution and the effects of isolationC) the murder rate and the importance of the death penaltyD) the importance of equal rights and that of the death penalty61. The author’s attitude towards death penalty is ______.A) opposing B) supporting C) neutral D) sarcasticPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Many are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment, but fail to take advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy. For example, everyone knows that lights should be switched off when no one is in an office. Similarly, when employees are not using a meeting room, there is no need to regulate temperature.Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy. With the help of smart sensing and network technology, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can beenergy use and institute procedures that lead to smarter and more efficient home, building and industrial plants.Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor (传感器) networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain. Battery-powered wireless networks can simplify installation and reduce cost. But their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly to maintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of window sensor batteries in a large building on a regular basis.The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both the data communication and the power supply is eliminated. Doing so requires a true battery-free wireless solution, one that can utilize energy harvested directly from the environment. To facilitate the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, GreenPeak has developed an ultra-low-power communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as light, motion and vibration. This technology, employing on-board power management circuits and computer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use of harvested energy, enables sensors to operate reliably in a battery-free environment.Wireless sensor networks deployed in our offices and home will have an enormous impact on our daily lives, helping to build a smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized. These wireless platforms, equipped with advanced sensing capability, will enable us to better control our lives, homes and environment, creating a truly connected world that enables people worldwide to live in a more comfortable, safer, and cleaner environment.62. Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because they ______.A) require automatic rechargingB) are difficult and costly to maintainC) have to be replaced from time to timeD) contain metals that pollute the environment63. Battery-free wireless sensor networks are made possible by the fact that ______.A) their maintenance has been greatly simplifiedB) there is energy in the environment to be utilizedC) the cost of using them has been drastically reducedD) modern data communication consumes little energy64. According to the passage, GreenPeak ______.A) supplies batteries operating on harvested energyB) benefits handsomely from communication technologyC) promotes the application of wireless sensor networksD) is the first company to install wireless sensor networks65. The focus of Paragraph 4 is on the ______.A) replacement of batteries in harvestersB) elimination of batteries in sensor networksC) impact of sensor networks on power supplyD) monitoring of energy harvested from the environment66. Wireless sensor networks promise to ______.A) bring businesses high profits C) turn motion into a major source of energyB) further develop the sensing technology D) improve the daily lives of people worldwideasthe75One study saw participants follow one of the tips to see 76 effective it was.

Lecture note-taking influences the academic success of all high school and college students./ It is believed that students will have to depend on their ability to take notes/ in order to be successful in the classroom./ Studies about the effect of note-taking on achievement recognize/ that there are two distinct categories of note-taking./ The first category suggests that the notes themselves are valuable./ That's because notes help the learner rehearse the lecture content./ And they can serve as a memory device that can help the student/ to remember parts of the content that were not included in the notes themselves./ The second category suggests that the act of taking notes is important, too./ It increases attention and concentration,/ encourages students to process the material at a deeper level,/ and provides a means of connecting new learning with prior knowledge./ These two categories imply that note-taking can boost achievement/ by acting as a product or as a process.

My View on College Education
We all know the importance of going to college in preparation for the job market or in coping with the rapid changes in technology. Y et while a higher income, better standard of living, and technological literacy might be the most obvious reasons for attending college, they are not necessarily the best, the most reliable, or the most enduring. There are good non-financial reasons to go to college.
First and foremost, college can be a great place for the students to learn about themselves and about society. College is a place where students get a safe chance to mature even as they pursue a degree and a potential career and where visionary ideas go to be challenged, grow, and mature. Next, students may develop self-independence in college, which is essential to their future development. Being away from their own home and living in a dormitory, students often get their first chance at learning to be on their own. In addition, college offers other learning opportunities, too. Much of what students gain in college may come from learning outside the classroom and from participating in campus organizations.
All in all, obtaining a college degree isn't just about making more money . As for society, no one that values freedom can afford to underestimate, even for an instant, the value of higher education.
