But it will fall we know not where.That precise information is beyond even the calculations of scientists and their computers.The best they can tell us is that the space station, weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12 story building, will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a track 100 miles wide and 4,000 miles long.We are again exposed to one of those unexpected adventures, or misadventures, of science that attracts our attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about man’s future.What worries Richard Smith, the Skylab’s director, is the “big pieces”that will come through the atmosphere, Two lumps, weighing 2 tons each, and ten, weighing at least 1,000 pounds each, will come in at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to 100 feet deep.What worries us, with our lack of scientific knowledge and our quick imagination, is both the big and little pieces, although project officials say there is a very small chance that anyone will be injured by them.That’s good to know, but it doesn’t remove the doubts of the millions who still remember the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island. That accident took place in 1979 in spite of what the officials had assured us as to the safely of the nuclear reactor.21. Where the Skylab will fall?A) is kept secretB) has been made publicC) has been predicted by scientistsD) can’t be predicted even by computers22. According to the passage, what does an incident such as the failed Skylab lead us todo?A) Not to believe in officials.B) To think about our future.C) Has been predicted by scientists.D) To fear for our lives.23. The author suggests that ________.A) the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been overestimatedB) it’s useless to worry over things you can’t do anything aboutC) the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been underestimatedD) computers can solve the problem caused by the broken Skylab24. The author refers to Three Mils Island ________.A) because he is doubtful about what the officials saidB) because he fears that a piece of the Skylab may strike a nuclear power plantC) because he is afraid of the use of nuclear powerD) because the nuclear reactor there and the Skylab were both built by the samecompany25. This passage is mainly about the author’s ________.A) interest in the failure of the SkylabB) willingness to give his adviceC) eagerness to see more new scientific discoveriesD) concern that science cannot answer all questionsPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.As supplier of most of the food we eat and of raw materials for many industrial processes, agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy. But the industrial performance of agriculture (the relative efficiency of agricultural production compared to other areas in the economy) is even more important than this. For in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for the production of investment goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most closely to the per capita income (人均收入) of a nation is the fraction of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the world more than half of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 percent in western Europe and less than 4 percent in the United States.In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the performance of farmers. This performance, in turn, depends on how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment, or market structure, within which it functions. In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is appropriate to begin with a consideration of its market structure.26. This passage is most probably ________.A) a news itemB) part of an introduction to a bookC) part of a lectureD) an advertisement27. What is the most important to agriculture is ________.A) the amount of food it producesB) the per capita income of farmersC) its industrial performanceD) the production of investment goods28. The underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to ________.A) the provision of food and raw materialsB) the productivity of farmersC) the production of investment goodsD) the economy as a whole29. The performance of farmers essentially determines ________.A) the size of the working populationB) the organization of agricultureC) the market structureD) the general development of economy30. This passage will most probably be followed by a discussion of ________.A) the structure of American farming populationB) the market structure of American agricultureC) the various functions of American agricultureD) the organization of American agriculturePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Editor:While a new school term is about to begin, perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations. In July, two writers (Letters to the Editor) praised the cancellation of exams because they believe “tests don’t tell the whole story.”As a teacher who has worked in four countries, I have had the experience that a student who earns good marks is ge nerally a good student, and that a student’s final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the year’s work. Of course there are exceptions, but they do not have the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a student’s ability.The simple fact is that proper class work, diligent exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators of a student’s future performance. The opposite is, almost certainly, incompetence.There is no acceptable substitute for competition and examination of quality. How can teachers and future officials determine what a student has learned and remembered? Should we simply take the student’s word for it? Any institution that “liberates” students from fair and formal exams is misguided, if not ignorant. And surely the “graduates” of such institutions will lack trustworthiness, not to mention being rejected by foreign universities for graduate or other studies.When all is said and done, I sense that a fear of failure and a fear of unpleasant comparison with others is at the bottom of most ban-exams (废除考试) talk. Excellence and quality fear nothing. On the contrary, they seek competition and desire the satisfaction of being the best.31. Which of the following will the author of this passage probably agree with?A) Tests are not effective in measuring t he students’ abilities.B) Tests are an effective measure of the students’ abilities.C) Tests can only measure some of the students’ abilities.D) Tests may not be useful for measuring students’ abilities.32. The two writers mentioned in the first paragraph ________.A) opposed judging students by the results of examsB) must have proposed other ways of testing studentsC) regarded exams as a way of punishing studentsD) seemed to be worried about the poor marks of their students33. According to the letter, a student’s final mark ________.A) is often encouragingB) often gives a fair picture of the year’s workC) often proves unreliableD) often tells whether he likes the subject or not34. If a student graduated from a university which does not require exams he would________.A) have to continue his studiesC) be incompetentB) have a feeling of failureD) not be admitted by foreign institutions35. According to the letter, those who dislike the idea of examinations are probablyafraid of ________.A) competing with other studentsC) working too hardB) being graded unfairlyD) being dismissed from schoolPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Time was—and not so many years ago, either—when the average citizen to ok a pretty dim view of banks and banking. That this was so, it should be said, was to no small extent the fault of banks and bankers themselves. Banks used to be—and a few still are—forbidding (令人生畏的) structures. Behind the little barred windows were, more often than not, elderly gentlemen w hose expression of friendliness reflected the size of the customer’s account, and nothing less than a few hundred thousand in the bank could have inspired the suggestion of a smile.And yet the average bank for many years was, to the average citizen, a fearful, if necessary, instrument for dealing with business—usually big business. But somewhere in the 1930’s banks started to grow human, even pleasant, and started to attract the little man. It is possible that this movement beg an in medium-sized towns, or in small towns where people know each other by their first names, and spread to big towns. At any rate, the results have be en remarkable.The movement to “humanize” banks, of course, received a new push during the war, when more and more women were employed to do work previously performed by men. Also more and more “little” people found themselves in need of perso nal loans, as taxes became heavier and as the practice of installment(分期付款) buying broke down the previously long-held concept that there was something almost morally wrong about being in debt. All sorts of people began to discover that the intelligent use of credit (信贷) could be extremely helpful.36. The author believes that the unfriendly atmosphere in banks many years a go waschiefly due to ________.A) the attitude of bankersB) unfriendliness of customers toward banksC) economic pressure of the timeD) the outer appearance of bank buildings37. The banks of many years ago showed interest only in ________.A) rich customersC) friendly businessmenB) regular visitorsD) elderly gentlemen38. When did banks begin to grow human?A) In the last century.C) Sometime before the war.B) A few years ago.D) During the war.39. What helped the “humanization” of banks?A) The elderly gentlemen in banks were replaced by younger men.B) More and more “little” people became customers of banks.C) More banks were set up in small and medium-sized towns.D) The size of the custo mer’s account was greatly increased.40. Ordinary people seldom borrowed money from banks in the past because ________.A) the bank buildings looked forbiddingB) they were comparatively rich before the warC) they thought it was not proper to be in debtD) they rarely spent more than they could earnPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)41.

1994年大学英语四级试题及参考答案（1月）（2）
Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Suppose we built a robot (机器⼈) to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to cease its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.According to the evolutionary (进化的) theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny (否认) that sleep provides some important restorative functions. It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.The evolutionary theory accounts well for differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.21. The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us ______.(A) the differences between robots and men (C) about the need for robots to save power(B) the reason why men need to sleep (D) about the danger of men working at night22. Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him ______.(A) maintain a regular pattern of life (C) avoid danger and inefficient labor(B) prevent trouble that comes looking for him (D) restore his bodily functions23.According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we _____.(A) are worrying about our safety (C) are in a tent(B) are overworked (D) are away from home24.Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats _____.(A) need more time for restoration(B) are unlikely to be attackers(C) are more active than horses when they are awake(D) spend less time eating to get enough energy25.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage? ______.(A) Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking.(B) The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory.(C) Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots.(D) The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage." Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it's a girl."Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good father. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy (怀孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this resocialization process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father's role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother's role. The mother's role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine (⽣活规律) and highly innovative (创新的) adaptation, on the other hand, the father's role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.26. According to the author, being a father _____.(A) brings a feeling of excitement to some men(B) has a different meaning for those who have daughters(C) makes some men feel proud and others uneasy(D) means nothing but more responsibilities27.

Some writers argue that with respect to the change of roles, fathers, compared with mothers, _____.(A) have to shoulder more burdens (C) have an easier job to do(B) have to make more difficult adaptations (D) can usually do a better jobPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this "conversation" goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however, we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a "process" conversation as opposed to a "content" conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies (策略) we employ in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a process conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed. Not so our ability to hold a content conversation. It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.31. Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only when _____.(A) the reader's expectations agree with what is said in the text(B) the reader has trouble understanding what the author says(C) the reader asks questions and gets answers(D) the reader understands a text very well32. At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to _____.(A) read a text slowly (C) interpret a text in their own way(B) read without thinking hard (D) concentrate on the meaning of words only33. A "process" conversation has to do with ______.(A) the application of reading strategies(B) matching our expectations with the meaning of a text(C) the development of our ability to check the details(D) determining the main idea of a text34. According to the passage, it is of great importance for readers at a higher level to maintain a balance between ______.(A) conscious and unconscious levels of comprehension(B) the reader's expectations and the meaning of a text(C) lower and higher levels of comprehension(D) interpreting and criticizing a text35. If we want to develop our reading ability at an advanced level, we should ______.(A) learn to use different approaches in reading different texts(B) make our reading process more conscious(C) pay more attention to the content of a text(D) take a critical attitude towards the author's ideaPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Although April did not bring us the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesn't generally experience the atmospheric sound and lightning that can accompany those rains, it's still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.The reason these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very wellunderstood by adults themselves.

We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to cease its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.According to the evolutionary (进化的) theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny (否认) that sleep provides some important restorative functions. It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.The evolutionary theory accounts well for differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.21. The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us ________.A) the differences between robots and menB) the reason why men need to sleepC) about the need for robots to save powerD) about the danger of men working at night22. Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him ________.A) maintain a regular pattern of lifeB) prevent trouble that comes looking for himC) avoid danger and inefficient laborD) restore his bodily functions23. According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we ________.A) are worrying about our safetyB) are overworkedC) are in a tentD) are away from home24. Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats ________.A) need more time for restorationB) are unlikely to be attackersC) are more active than horses when they are awakeD) spend less time eating to get enough energy25. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage? ________.A) Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping andwaking.B) The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory.C) Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots.D) The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats. Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.“Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it’s a girl.”Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good father. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples,pregnancy (怀孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this resocialization process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role ofa father.It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father’s role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother’s role. The mother’s role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine (生活规律) and highly innovative (创新的) adaptation, on the other hand, the fath er’s role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.26. According to the author, being a father ________.A) brings a feeling of excitement to some menB) has a different meaning for those who have daughtersC) makes some men feel proud and others uneasyD) means nothing but more responsibilities27. It is stated in the passage that ________.A) some parents are not prepared to have a childB) young couples do not like children at allC) working couples do not have much time to take care of their childrenD) many parents look forward to having a boy as their first child28. In the second paragraph, the author ________.A) criticizes fathers for not taking enough responsibilities in bringing up theirchildrenB) excuses the American writers for ignoring the difficulties of being a fatherC) supports the idea that the chief role of a father is to earn money for the familyD) complains about the lack of social programs to help husbands adjust themselvesto being a father29. The transition to the mother’s role requires that the wife ________.A) change her life style in a highly innovative wayB) make a complete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situationC) stay at home to take care of the babyD) help her husband in his resocialization process30. Some writers argue that with respect to the change of roles, fathers, compared withmothers, ________.A) have to shoulder more burdensB) have to make more difficult adaptationsC) have an easier job to doD) can usually do a better jobPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this “conversation” goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however, we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining.

The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, a nd that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a “process” conversation as opposed to a “content” conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies (策略) we employ in reading.

It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.31. Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomesconscious only when ________.A) the reader’s expectations agree with what is said in the textB) the reader has trouble understanding what the author saysC) the reader asks questions and gets answersD) the reader understands a text very well32. At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to ________.A) read a text slowlyB) read without thinking hardC) interpret a text in their own wayD) concentrate on the meaning of words only33. A “process” conversation has to do with ________.A) the application of reading strategiesB) matching our expectations with the meaning of a textC) the development of our ability to check the detailsD) determining the main idea of a text34. According to the passage, it is of great importance for readers at a higher level tomaintain a balance between ________.A) conscious and unconscious levels of comprehensionB) t he reader’s expectations and the meaning of a textC) lower and higher levels of comprehensionD) interpreting and criticizing a text35. If we want to develop our reading ability at an advanced level, we should ________.A) learn to use different approaches in reading different textsB) make our reading process more consciousC) pay more attention to the content of a textD) take a critical attitude towards the author’s ideaPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Although April did not bring us the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesn’t generally experience the atmospheric sound and lightning that can accompany those rains, it’s still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.The reason these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very well understood by adults themselves. For example, did you know that the lightning we see flashing down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth? Our eyes trick us into thinking we see a downward motion when it’s actually the other way around. But then, if we believed only what we think we see, we’d still insist that the su n rises in the morning and sets at night.Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud, and only a relative few can be seen jumping between two cloud or between earth and a cloud. But, with about 2,000 thunderstorms taking place above the earth every m inute of the day and night, there’s enough activity to produce about 100 lightning strikes on earth every second.Parents can use thunder and lightning to help their children learn more about the world around them. When children understand that the light of the lightning flashing reaches their eyes almost at the same moment, but the sound of the thunder takes about 5seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to time the interval between the flash and the crash to learn how close they were to the actual spark.36. According to the author, in the area of the Central Valley, ________.A) rains usually come without thunder and lightningB) it is usually dry in AprilC) children pay no attention to natural phenomenaD) parents are not interested in thunder and lightning37. We believe that lightning is a downward notion because ________.A) we were taught so by our parents from our childhoodB) we are deceived by our sense of visionC) it is a common natural phenomenonD) it is a truth proved by science38. What is TRUE about lightning according to the passage?A) Only a small number of lightning flashes occur on earth.B) Lightning travels 5 minutes faster than thunder.C) Lightning flashes usually jump from one cloud to another.D) There are far more lightning strikes occurring on earth than we imagine.39. The word “activity” (Para. 3, Line 3) is most closely related to the word(s)________.A) “cloud”B) “lightning strikes”C) “lightning flashes”D) “thunderstorms”40. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A) we should not believe what we see or hearB) things moving downward are more noticeableC) people often have wrong concepts about ordinary phenomenaD) adults are not as good as children in observing certain natural phenomenaPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)41.

And my first job when I was six years old was shining shoes for customers. My duties increased as I grew older. By age ten I was clearing tables and washing plates. My father made it clear that I had to meet certain standards. I had to be on time, hard-working and polite to the customers. I was never paid for any work I did. One day I made a mistake of telling Dad I thought he should give me 10 pounds a week. He said, “Ok, then how about you paying me for the three meals a day when you eat here and for the times you bring in your friends for free drinks.” He figured I owed him about 40 pounds a week. This taught me quite a lot.Questions 11 to 14 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What was the speaker’s job before he was 10 years old?12. What was one of the requirements laid down by the boy’s father?13. What did the boy ask his father to do one day?14. Why did the boy’s father refuse to pay him?Passage TwoCambridge is about 90 kilometres northeast of London. It is one of most beautiful places in Britain. Everything about the city of Cambridge reminds you of its famous university: student on bicycles, an atmosphere of learning, traditions and the magnificent buildings of the 30 colleges that are in the University of Cambridge. Most of the colleges stand on the bank of the Cam River a gentle river that flows through the heart of the city. Tourists and students like boating in a kind of flatbottom boat to see the colleges or to relax themselves. If the water traffic reminds the visitor of Venice, the road traffic is more likely to recall Beijing or Amsterdam. The streets are full of bicycles, hundreds and hundreds of them. They provide a cheap form of transport for the students and very conveniently of getting around the Cambridge’s nearer streets.Questions 15 to 17 are based on passage you have just heard.15. What do tourists enjoy doing in Cambridge for relaxation?16. Why does the road traffic in Cambridge remind one of Beijing?17. What is the speaker’s impression of Cambridge?Passage ThreeMr. Foster started his publishing business with only one magazine. It was called “World-news”. Mostly it had summaries of important week events from around the world. But it always included one or two stories about interesting people. Mr. Foster put these in because he believed all people like to read about other people. Several years ago, Mr. Foster started two other magazines. One was called “Enterprise”. It is for business people. And the other was called “Action”, for sportsmen. Like “Worldnews”, they always have two or three stories about interesting people. Five years ago. Mr. Foster got another idea for a magazine. He wanted this one to have even more stories about people than the others and to have more photographs. This one was named “Faces and Places”. From the very beginning, it was a big success.Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.18. Why did Mr. Foster add stories about interesting people to the magazine “Worldnews”?19. Which magazine is a sportsman most likely to buy?20. What is Mr. Foster’s profession?。
1994年英语专业四级TEM4考试真题
1994年英语专业四级真题Part I Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B],[C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage AA Wise ManHe was a funny looking man with a cheerful face, good natured and a great talker. He was described by his student, the great philosopher Plato, as “the best and most just and wisest man. ”Yet, this same man was condemned to death for his beliefs.The man was the Greek philosopher, Socrates, and he was condemned for not believing in the recognized gods and for corrupting young people. The second charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men who came to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him.Socrates‟ method of teaching was to ask quest ions and, by pretending not to know the answers, to press his students into thinking for themselves. His teachings had unsurpassed influence on all the great Greek and Roman schools of philosophy. Yet, for all his fame and influence, Socrates himself never wrote a word.Socrates encouraged new ideas and free thinking in the young, and this was frightening to the conservative people. They wanted him silenced. Yet, many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.Socrates had the right to ask for a lesser penalty, and he probably could have won over enough of the people who had previously condemned him. But Socrates, as a firm believer in law, reasoned that it was proper to submit to the death sentence. So, he calmly accepted his fate and drank a cup of poison hemlock in the presence of his grief-stricken friends and students.1.In the first paragraph, the word yet is used to introduce _______.A.contrastB.a sequenceC.emphasisD.an example2.Socrates was condemned to death because he ______.A.believed in lawB.was a philosopherC.published outspoken philosophical articlesD.advocated original opinions3.The word unsurpassed in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.A.untoldB.unequalledC.unnoticedD.unexpected4.By mentioning that Socrates himself never wrote anything, the writer implies that ______.A.it was surprising that Socrates was so famousB.Socrates was not so learned as he is reputed to have beenC.Socrates used the work of his students in teachingD.the authorities refused to publish Socrates’works5.Socrates accepted the death penalty to show ______.A.his belief in his studentsB.his contempt for conservativesC.his recognition of the legal systemD.that he was not afraid of deathPassage BIn England, along a stretch of the north-east coast which gently curves from Northumberland to the estuary of the river Tees, there was a spot, typical of many on that coast, where sea-coal collected richly and effortlessly. This coal was a coarse powder, clean and brilliant. It seemed to bear little resemblance to the large, filthy lumps put onto the fire. Although it was coal, it was perfectly clean and it was silently deposited at high tide in a glittering carpet a kilometre long for the local community to gather up.The gear needed for sea-coaling expeditions was a curious and traditionally proven assortment which never varied from community to community along the entire north-east coastline. Sacks were essential to put the coal in, and string to tie the neck of each sack when it was full. A wooden rake was used to serape the coal from the beach. The only alternative to the rake was a flat piece of board held in the hand. A flat, broad shovel to lift the raked coal into the bags, completed the portable hardware.But the most crucial item of equipment was a bicycle, a special kind of rusty, stripped down model which was the symbol of the sea-coaling craft. A lady‟s bike was no good because it lacked a crossbar, and that was an essential element in transporting sea-coal. One full sack could be slung through the triangular frame of a man‟s bike, another over the crossbar and, sometimes, even a third on top of that. It not only enabled one to move the sea coal from place to place, but the pressure of the metal bar against the full, wet sacks forced excess water out of the coal while it was being wheeled home. On a good day, the path to the beach was generally a double snailtrack of water that had been forced from each end of a trail of coal sacks.6.The difference between the two types of coal was that ___.A.sea coal burnt betterB.sea coal was cheaperC.sea coal was more finely-grainedD.sea coal came in big pieces7.Certain equipment was used because ______.A.the people were very traditionalB.it could be made by the communities themselvesC.it had proved to be practicalD.the communities had curious habits8.Which piece of equipment was not vital to sea-coal collecting?A.rakeB.A sackC.A lady‟s bikeD.A piece of string9.To carry three sacks of coal on a bicycle it was necessary to ______.A.put one of them on the saddleB.balance them all on the crossbarC.balance two on the crossbarD.put two through the framework10.By using the bicycle _______.A.the collectors could ride homeB.the coal could be moved easily over the sandC.the collectors could sell more coalD.excess liquid could be removedPassage CDid you know that all human beings have a “comfort zone”regulating the distance they stand from someone when they talk? This distance varies in interesting ways among people of different cultures.Greeks, others of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many of those from South America normally stand quite close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 21 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, there is even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space subtly lends an air of dignity and respect. This matter of space is nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe.This difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent to which they lean over one another in conversation, how they move as they argue or make an emphatic point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator; in Paris they take it as it comes!Although North Americans have a relatively wide “comfort zone” for talking, they communicate a great deal with their hands—not only with gesture but also with touch. They put a sympathetic hand on a person‟s shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling or an arm around him in sympathy; they nudge a man in the ribs to emphasize a funny story; they pat an arm in reassurance or stroke a child‟s head in affection; they readily take someone‟s arm to help him across a street or direct him along an unfamiliar route. To many people—especially those from Asia or the Moslem countries—such bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if inadvertently done with the left hand. (The left hand carries no special significance in the U. S.. Many Americans are simply left-handed and use that hand more. )11.In terms of bodily distance, North Americans ______.A.are similar to South AmericansB.stand farthest apartC.feel ill at ease when too closeD.move nearer during conversations12.For Asians, the comfort zone _______.A.is deliberately determinedB.measures 21 inchesC.varies according to statusD.implies esteem13.It can be inferred from the passage that in a crowded elevator, a Frenchman ______.A.would behave in the same way as an American wouldB.would make no particular effort to distance himselfC.would be afraid of bodily contactD.would do his best to leave14.When Americans tell a joke, they often _______.A.pat people on the headB.give people a hugC.dig people in the ribsD.touch people on the arm15.The passage mainly concerns ________.A.distance and bodily contactB.body languageC.cultural differences between the East and the WestD.hand signalsPassage DDo Insects Think?In a recent book entitled The Psychic Life of Insects, Professor Bouvier says that we must be careful not to credit the little winged fellows with intelligence when they behave in what seems like an intelligent manner. They may be only reacting. I would like to confront the Professor with an instance of reasoning power on the part of an insect which cannot be explained away in any other manner.During the summer of 1899, while I was at work on my doctoral thesis, we kept a female wasp at our cottage. It was more like a child of our own than a wasp, except that it looked more like a wasp than a child of our own. That was one of the ways we told the difference.It was still a young wasp when we got it (thirteen or fourteen years old) and for some time we could not get it to eat or drink, it was so shy. Since it was a female we decided to call it Miriam, but soon the children‟s nickname for it—“Pudge”—became a fixture, and“Pudge”it was from that time on.One evening I had been working late in my laboratory fooling around with some gin and other chemicals, and in leaving the room I tripped over. a nine of diamonds which someone had left lying on the floor and knocked over my card index which contained the names and addresses of all the larvae worth knowing in North America. The cards went everywhere.I was too tired to stop to pick them up that night, and went sobbing to bed, just as mad as I could be. As I went, however, I noticed the wasp was flying about in circles over the scattered cards. “Maybe Pudge will pick them up”, I said half laughingly to myself, never thinking for one moment that such would be the case.When I came down the next morning Pudge was still asleep in her box, evidently tired out. And well she might have been. For there on the floor lay the cards scattered all about just as I had left them the night before. The faithful little insect had buzzed about all night trying to come to some decision about picking them up and arranging them in the boxes for me, and then had figured out for herself that, as she knew practically nothing of larvae of any sort except wasp larvae, shewould probably make more of a mess of rearranging them than if she had left them on the floor for me to fix. It was just too much for her to tackle, and, discouraged, she went over and lay down in her box, where she cried herself to sleep.If this is not an answer to Professor Bouvier’s statement, I do not know what is.16.Professor Bouvier believes that insects ______.A.do not have intelligenceB.behave in an intelligent wayC.are capable of reasoningD.are more intelligent than we thought17.On the evening the author fell over, someone _______.A.had moved his card indexB.had been playing card gamesC.had knocked over his boxes containing cardsD.had looked at his collection of diamonds18.When he came to the laboratory the next morning, the author _______.A.saw that his cards had already been rearrangedB.realized that the wasp had been trying to helpC.found evidence of the wasp‟s intelligenceD.found his index cards still scattered about the room19.The author’s account of his wasp’s intelligence _______.A.is imaginaryB.is convincingC.firmly proves his point of viewD.is valuable for insect study20.The purpose of this article is to _______.A.oppose Professor Bouvier’s point of viewB.support Professor Bouvier with his own experienceC.further discuss whether insects are intelligentD.illustrate the working theory behind the author’s thesisPassage EMaybe you‟d like to have a vegetable garden, but you live in a room, an apartment, a townhouse or a mobile home, and you think there is no place at all for such activity. But if you have a doorstep, a balcony or even just a windowsill, you can have your own mini-garden.Mini-gardening with vegetables, fruit trees and herbs can be fascinating fun, and you can mix or match all vegetables or vegetables and flowers. You can grow them in greenhouses, under fluorescent lights, or in a sunny window.Perhaps now, with the prices of fresh vegetables competing with those of meats and dairy products, this is more than ever an important aspect of indoor gardening. But entirely aside from the economic dividends, there is the pleasure of enjoying a truly fresh product, one you grew yourself from plant to plate.Vegetable plants grow better in full sunlight than in the shade. Some vegetables need more light than others. Leafy vegetables (lettuce) can stand more shade than root vegetables (beets). Root vegetables can stand more shade than vegetable fruit plants (cucumbers) which do very poorly inthe shade. Plant your vegetable fruit plants where they will get the most sun, and your leafy vegetables and root vegetables in the shadier areas.21.The passage is mainly concerned with _______.A.fruit growingB.outdoor gardeningC.leafy vegetablesD.indoor gardening22.The author‟s attitude towards the topic in the passage is _______.A.neutralB.positiveC.contradictoryD.indifferentPart II V ocabulary (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

One of the questions that is always asked of me is( 31 ) I became an animal collector in the first( 32 ).The answer is that I have always been interested in animals and zoos. According to my parents, the first word I was able to say with any ( 33 )was not the conventional … mamma‟or… daddy‟,( 34 )the word…zoo‟, which I would( 35 )over and over again with a shrill( 36 )until someone, in order to( 37 )me up, would take me to the zoo.

听力原文1994The American Family (1994)The American family unit is changing. There used to be mainly two types of families, the extended and the nuclear. The former included mother, father, children, and some other relatives such as grandparents, living in the same house or nearby. Then as the economy progressed from agricultural to industrial, people began moving to different parts of the country in order to search for job opportunities. These moves split up the extended family. The nuclear family consisting of only parents and children has therefore become far more wide spread. Today’s family, however, can be composed of diverse combinations. With the divorce rate nearly one in two, there's an increase in single-parent homes—a father or mother living with one or more children. Blended families occur when divorced men and women remarry and combine the children from former marriages into a new family. On the other hand, there is an increase in childless couples while one in rive Americans lives alone.PART ⅢLISTENING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A STA TEMENT1. Ah, are you going to be busy this evening?
