I asked them to deliver the things as soon as possible, but they said that they wereunable to send them out until 20 days later. After about 3 weeks, I received only the curtains and table lamps. I was a little disappointed when I didn’t receive all the items I had bought. But nevertheless, I was eager to see what the curtains and lamps looked like. I first opened the package with the curtains. I had bought a lovely light blue, and instead they had sent me a horrible dark purple. Well, you can just imagine how angry I was. Then I opened the boxes with the lamps. They were exactly what I’d ordered. But one of the lamp shades was damaged. The next thing I did was to telephone them to complain. They promised to come and pick them up immediately and also to replace them with the correct order. It has been two weeks since my complaint. They have neither picked up the wrong items nor sent me the rest of my order.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16.

His wife had to make the family’s clothes, teach her children, and help her husband in the fields. She kept a rifle behind the door to protect her children from wild animals. And she knew how to use it. Such was life in the Old West.Those early Americans were not afraid to work. Men who didn’t work didn’t eat. Workwas necessary and honorable.

The manager of my hotel gave me a map of the city and told me that the best way to get to the museum was by subway. I didn’t know where the nearest subway was. But I was sure I would find it if I walked a little. After an hour I was still walking. I was completely lost. Just then a policeman came over and showed me the nearest station. I looked at the subway map and wall and didn’t know which line to take. In fact I wasn’t shown which station I was in. Most people would give up in that situation but not me. After I thought it over, I knew exactly what to do. I went upstairs and took a taxi.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. Why did the speaker go to the Mexico City?23.

大学英语四级考试模拟卷十六(总分：100.00，做题时间：125分钟)Listening Comprehension(总题数：0，分数：0.00)Section A(总题数：7，分数：0.00).Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.1.（分数：8.00）A.Roast duck.B.Fried potatoes.C.Oven-roasted turkey.√D.Fried turkey.解析：[听力原文]Ask the majority of Americans about the highlight of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, and they think of oven-roasted turkey. But with the increased popularity in outdoor cooking, many Americans have moved out of the kitchen. And they are diving into huge pots of nearly boiling oil. Well, not the cooks, but their Thanksgiving turkeys. In recent years, some Thanksgiving dinners feature a turkey immersed in a fryer filled with hot cooking oil. Also called Cajun fried turkey, this type of cooking originated in the American south. Outdoor turkey frying started in Louisiana and Kentucky in the 1930s, according to Esquire magazine. Fried turkey at Thanksgiving started to become popular in the 1980s. This Cajun cooking rage spread into the north United States quickly. Newspapers in New York and Ohio printed Cajun fried turkey recipes. Celebrities like Martha Stewart and Emeril Lagasse made bird-frying wildly popular.What is the highlight of Thanksgiving dinner in America?.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.3.（分数：8.00）A.Americans buy costumes for their pet dogs nowadays.√B.People purchase Halloween costumes for cats.C.Dogs are Americans' best friends.D.Pet costumes are popular in Hollywood.解析：[听力原文]Nowadays, about 15 percent of Americans will buy costumes for their pet dogs. Time magazine reports that more people are purchasing Halloween costumes for their dog—up 24 percent since 2010. Spending has increased by 40 percent in the past two years.

Processed meat is meat that has been preserved by curing, salting, smoking, drying or canning. Experts from the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France, studied 800 cases. IARC researchers linked processed meat, such as hot dogs and ham, to bowel cancer, as well as pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer. The IARC has included processed meat in its group 1 list, for which there is "sufficient evidence" of links to cancer. Tobacco, asbestos, and diesel fumes are also on the group 1 list. WHO experts also called red meat, including beef, lamb and pork, "probably" carcinogenic to humans. Dr. Kurt Straif is with the IARC. He said in a statement that the risk of cancer increases with the amount of meat a person eats. A person who consumes 50 grams of processed meat per day—about two pieces of bacon—increases his or her risk of bowel cancer by 18 percent.What can cause cancer according to WHO experts?Section B(总题数：8，分数：0.00).Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1.（分数：16.00）A.To make a survey of smoking.B.To arouse public attention to the dangers of smoking.C.To help people quit using tobacco products.√D.To help women realize the dangers of smoking.解析：[听力原文]W: People in all parts of the world are observing "No Tobacco Day." What does it mean anyway?M: It's the day when the World Health Organization appeals to people to stop using tobacco products. The WHO insists if people stop smoking cigarettes for one day, they will stop forever.W: So, what is the target of this year's "No Tobacco Day"?M: The target for this year's "No Tobacco Day" is women. Organizers want to make sure women know the dangers of smoking.W: But why do many people find it difficult to stop smoking?M: The reason is nicotine, a substance found in cigarettes. The effects of nicotine are similar to the effects of cocaine and heroin.W: And what are people supposed to do during this day?M: "No Tobacco Day" is aimed at smokers and those who earn money from tobacco sales. So businesses are asked to stop selling tobacco products for 24 hours. Newspapers are asked not to publish advertisements for cigarettes.W: Does it show any improvement?M: Well, generally, yes. In industrial countries, the number of smokers has been falling about 1% a year.W: What about in developing countries?M: In developing countries, the number has been rising 2% a year. I think this is the result of increased efforts by tobacco companies to sell their products in developing countries.W: So, is there any international effort to help the developing countries?M: Yeah, in fact, several plans have been approved. One urges governments to offer tobacco farmers the chance to earn money by growing other crops. Another involves improved public information campaigns about the dangers of smoking.What is the purpose of "No Tobacco Day"?.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.5.（分数：16.00）A.Future development of children.B.Better ways to educate children.C.The relationship between parents and children.D.Issues of raising children.√解析：[听力原文]W: Today, in our studio, we are talking about child-rearing, and we have Dr. Smith here. He is a famous expert in this field, and he has been a teacher for many years. Hello, Dr. Smith, welcome.M: Hello, I'm glad to be here to talk about this topic, and I'm ready to answer questions.W: OK, Dr. Smith. American parents seem to give children allowance each week, for example, $10 a week. What do you think of it?M: Well, on the one hand, children may learn to budget their money through the allowance given by parents, but on the other hand, they may not understand the idea of "No pains, no gains."W: Do you have a better way for parents?M: In fact, it might be a better way if children earn money for themselves than from their parents. I mean, for example, if the children clean their rooms every day, they may get one dollar from their parents. By doing this, the children will have a better understanding of the value of money.W: Well, Dr. Smith, you know nowadays computers are popular among every family. What's the influence of the Internet on children in your opinion?M: You know, every coin has two sides. We get many conveniences from surfing the Internet, but for children, things may be different. You see, in most cases, children play computer games instead of searching information they need. And in the worst cases, children may be addicted to games so much that they can't concentrate on what they should do.W: Thank you, Dr. Smith. We take a rest first and then answer questions from our listeners.M: OK.What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Section C(总题数：10，分数：0.00).Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.1.（分数：16.00）A.It is mainly provided by Western countries.B.It can't eliminate poverty in the world.C.It is an international way to reduce poverty.√D.It makes poor countries develop faster.解析：[听力原文]Foreign aid is an important part of international efforts to reduce poverty. The UnitedStates Agency for International Development has an estimate of the amount given since the early 1950s. It says 70 countries have received more than $10 trillion in payments and loans from Western nations. But does foreign aid work? Reporter Aida recently discussed the issue with several experts. Michael Robinson is a researcher at the World Policy Institute in New York. He says foreign aid can lead to "all the wrong economic policies that made those countries poor in the first place." Mr. Robinson argues that it does not help the majority of poor people in a country. Instead, it strengthens the officials in power who are generally unelected. Other experts say foreign aid has produced mixed results, depending on where and how the money is spent. They note successful examples like South Korea, who has become wealthy enough to give foreign aid itself. UN experts agree that foreign aid faces difficulties in parts of the world without much democracy. In Southern Africa, poverty rates increased from 41% in 1981 to 46% in 2001. Yet there are calls for new methods of giving. George Smith is a Ghanaian-born economics professor at American University in Washington. He says Western countries should give less aid, but remove trade barriers so they import more goods from developing nations. Prof. Smith also suggests that donor nations direct how they want their money spent.What does the speaker say about foreign aid?.Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.5.（分数：12.00）A.It doesn't need the same standard.B.Individual states are responsible for education.√C.Experts don't agree with each other.D.There is no law on education.解析：[听力原文]Americans are considering national education standards recently developed by teachers and other education experts. The United States, unlike other nations, has never had the same school standards across the country. What's the reason? Education is not discussed in the Constitution. That document limits the responsibilities of the federal government. Other responsibilities, like education, fall to the individual states. Local control of education probably was a good idea 200 years ago. People stayed in the same place and schools knew what students needed to learn. But today, people move to different cities. And some people work at jobs that did not exist even 20 years ago. The standards deal with language and mathematics in every grade from kindergarten through high school. Forty-eight states have already shown approval for the standards. Two states reject the idea. Critics say that working towards the same standards in every state will not guarantee excellence for all. Some educators in Massachusetts say adopting the proposal will hurt their students because the state standards are even higher. Others say the change will be too costly, requiring new textbooks and different kinds of training for teachers. Still, others fear federal interference or control. Supporters say the standards are goals and do not tell states or teachers how to teach. They also say the federal government is not forcing acceptance. However, approving the standards will help states qualify for some federal-grant money.Why does the US have no universal education standards?.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.8.（分数：12.00）A.It is the name of a riverboat.B.It is a pen name of a famous writer.C.It is a term of communication among pilots.D.It is a measure for the depth of water.√解析：[听力原文]The writer who became Mark Twain was born as Samuel Langhorne Clemens in 1835. After his father died in 1847, young Samuel went to work as an assistant to a publisher. Ten years later, he became a pilot on a steamboat that sailed on the Mississippi. He heard the riverboat workers call out the words "mark twain," which was a measure for the depth of water. Later, he wrote funny stories and called himself Mark Twain. Twain also travelled a lot and began writing books about his travels. His stories about a trip to Europe and the Middle East were published in The Innocents Abroad. And his stories about life in the western United States became the book called Roughing It. After he got married, he wrote books for children, such as The Prince and the Pauper. It tells about a poor boy who trades identities with a member of England's ruling family. Twain also wrote Life on the Mississippi, which describes his days as a steamboat pilot and his return to the river 20 years later. Mark Twain was already a successful writer before he became famous as a public speaker. Over the years, he had invested a lot of money in unsuccessful businesses. In 1893, he found himself deeply in debt. To earn money, he travelled around the world giving humorous talks. His speeches made people laugh and remember those events they had experienced.What does "mark twain" mean originally?。
