In my opinion, college education is more advisable for most people. First, college education is systematic and students can learn a lot in many aspects, unlike vocational education, which tends to focus on just one job skill, college education enables students to develop different potentials. Second, to obtain a higher degree, such as a master’s degree, one has to go through college education to get a bachelor’s degree first.

大学英语四级考试模拟试题7（标准答案）Part I WritingComputer Games on CampusToday, many college students are absorbed in playing computer games. Maybe there is some truth in the statement that computer games are fun and will train one's reactivity, determination, and attention.However, the merits of computer games can never compensate for the negative effects they have. First, it is very time-consuming to play computer games. The game fans have sacrificed almost all their time thus they have no time to attend class, to take exercises, or even to date. Upon graduation many will regret that they have wasted the precious college time on nothing. Second, those who play computer games excessively would easily fall victim to various illnesses. For example, game fans always fix their eyes on the screen; therefore, they are likely to be near-sighted. Third, the game fans, who spend their time before the lifeless computers, usually overlook their relationship with others. They would find that they have some mental or psychic problems.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)这篇文章向人们介绍了在五一外出度假期间怎样保持女人漂亮本色。
外语测试的分类
外语测试的分类2009/03/27 15:16[英语教育类 ]考试的定义为“用来获取某些行为的方法，其目的是从这些行为中推断出个人具有的某些特征。
”四种语言测试法包括写作-翻译法、结构主义/心理测量法、综合法和交际法。
一、按学习阶段来分1、编班测试（placement test）也叫分级测试。
我们都知道学生程度不齐。
教师难教,学生也难学。
所以常常需要将学生按程度分班，以利教学。
分班测试就是为这一目的而设计的。
它要考查的是学生目前现有的语言能力，所以水平测试的题目常可作分班测试用。
有时上一个学期的成绩测试结果也可作为下一个学期的分班依据。
由于分班测试往往时间紧迫，没有太多的时间准备试题和改卷，所以常选用间接测试的客观试题，如多项选择题和完型填空等。
2、随堂测试（classroom tests）教完一课书之后进行的小型测验。
测试的分量小，时间短，内容可以多样：拼写、听写、填空、释义、翻译等。
题目不宜过难，大部分项目是复习本课的内容。
3、期中测试（mid-term tests）4、期末测试（mid-term test）三个目的：促使学生巩固所学的知识，评价一学期的教学效果，调整下学期的教学安排。
二、按照用途来分1、水平测试（proficiency tests）衡量受试者综合运用外语能力的测试。
它的目的是确定受试者目前是否具有所需要的外语水平。
它的特点是并不限制任何一个教学大纲或任何一本教材命题。
要考查的不是对所教的课程学得怎样，而是根据未来对外语的使用要求考查受测者目前的外语熟练程度。
典型的水平测试例子有中国的EPT，大学英语四六级、英语专业四八级、美国的TOEFL和英语的ELTS。
2、成就测试（achievement tests）成就测试的目的是评价、衡量学生在掌握所学教材方面取得的进展。
通过成就测试，我们能确定学生在其所在班级中的相对位置，了解其掌握知识的程度和应达到的学业标准之间的差异，并达到巩固所学知识的目的。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice.PASSAGE 1Another cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not think about: space. Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surrounding his physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bumps onto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a person’s“ comfort zone” depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each othe r“ at arms length”, people in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and touch each other often. If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an American while in conversation, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away.When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. To Americans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement or disgust, shock or sadness. People with a “poker face”, whose emotions are hidden by a deadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate their attentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely and maintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesn’t look you in the eye, American might say, you should question his motives—or assume that he doesn’t like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still consider staring — especially at strangers —to be rude.1. What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about.A. classification of nonverbal communicationB. the reasons why people should think about spaceC. the relationship between communication and spaceD. some other cultural aspects of nonverbal communication2. How far people keep to each other while talking is closely associated with their _________ .A. originB. cultureC. customD. nationality3. When an Italian talks to an Arabian on informal occasions,.A. he stands about four feet awayB. “comfort zone” does not existC. keeping close enough is preferredD. communication barriers may emerge4. A “poker face” (Line 3,Para. 2) refers to a face whic h is .A. attentiveB. emotionalC. suspiciousD. expressionless5. In a conversation between friends, Americans regard it as sincere and truthful to .A. maintain direct eye contactB. hide emotions with a deadpan expressionC. display excitement or disgust, shock or sadnessD. raise their eyebrows, nod and smile politelyPASSAGE 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.We all know that DNA has the ability to identify individuals but, because it is inherited, there are also regions of the DNA strand which can relate an individual to his or her family (immediate and extended), tribal group and even an entire population. Molecular Genealogy (宗谱学) can use this unique identification provided by the genetic markers to link people together into family trees. Pedigrees (家谱) based on such genetic markers can mean a breakthrough for family trees whereinformation is incomplete or missing due to adoption, illegitimacy or lack of records. There are many communities and populations which have lost precious records due to tragic events such as the fire in the Irish courts during Civil War in 1921 or American slaves for whom many records were never kept in the first place.The main objective of the Molecular Genealogy Research Group is to build a database containing over 100,000 DNA samples from individuals all over the world. These individuals will have provided a pedigree chart of at least four generationsand a small blood sample. Once the database has enough samples to represent the world genetic make-up, it will eventually help in solving many issues regarding genealogies that could not be done by relying only on traditional written records. Theoretically, any individual will someday be able to trace his or her family origins through this database.In the meantime, as the database is being created, molecular genealogy can already verify possible or suspected relationships between individuals“. For example, if two men sharing the same last name believe that they are related, but no written record proves this relationship, we can verify this possibility by collecting a sample of DNA from both and looking for common markers (in this case we can look primarilyat the Y chromosome (染色体)),” explains Ugo A. Perego, a member of the BYU Molecular Genealogy research team.6. People in a large area may possess the same DNA thread becauseA. DNA is characteristic of a regionB. they are beyond doubt of common ancestryC. DNA strand has the ability to identify individualsD. their unique identification can be provided via DNA7. The possible research of family trees is based on the fact thatA. genetics has achieved a breakthroughB. genetic information contained in DNA can be revealed nowC. each individual carries a unique record of who he is and how he is related to othersD. we can use DNA to prove how distant an individual is to a family, a group or a population8. The Molecular Genealogy Research Group is building a database for the purpose ofA. offering assistance in working out genealogy-related problemsB. solving many issues without relying on traditional written recordsC. providing a pedigree chart of at least four generations in the worldD. confirming the assumption that all individuals are of the same origin9. If two men suspected for some reason they have a common ancestor,A. we can decide according to their family treeB.we can find the truth from their genetic markersC. we can compare the differences in their Y chromosomeD. we can look for written records to prove their relationship10. Which of the following CANNOT be inferred from the passage?A. We are a walking, living, breathing record of our ancestorsB. Many American slaves did not know who their ancestors were.C. An adopted child generally lacks enough information to prove his identity.D. Molecular genealogy can be used to prove a relationship between individuals. PASSAGE 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In recent years, teachers of introductory courses in Asian American studies have been facing a dilemma nonexistent a few decades ago, when hardly any texts in that field were available. Today, excellent anthologies（文选）and other introductory texts exist, and books on individual Asian Americans are published almost weekly. Even professors who are experts in the field find it difficult to decide which of these to assign to students; non-experts who teach in related areas and are looking for writings for and by Asian American to include in survey courses are in an even worse position.A complicating factor has been the continuing lack of specialized one-volume reference works on Asian Americans, such as biographical dictionaries or desktop encyclopedias. Such works would enable students taking Asian American studies courses (and professors in related fields) to look up basic information on Asian American individuals, institutions, history, and culture without having to wade through mountains of primary source material. In addition, given such works. Asian American studies professors might feel more free to include more challenging AsianAmerican material in their introductory reading lists, since good reference works allow students to acquire on their own the background information necessary to interpret difficult or unfamiliar material.11. The author is primarily concerned with ______.A. responding to a criticismB. describing a course of studyC. discussing a problemD. evaluating a past course of action12. The “dilemma”(Line 2, Para.1) can best be characterized as being caused by the necessity to make a choice when faced with a ______.A. lack of acceptable alternativesB. lack of strict standards for evaluating alternativesC. preponderance of bad alternatives as compared to goodD. multitude of different alternatives13. Biographical dictionaries and desktop encyclopedias are _____A. primary source materialsB. introductory textsC. excellent anthologiesD. reference materials14. Which of the following is implied about the introductory courses in Asian American studies a few decades ago?A. The range of different textbooks that could be assigned for such courses was extremely limitedB. The texts assigned as readings in such courses were often not very challenging for studentsC. Students often complained about the texts assigned to them in such coursesD. Such courses were offered only at schools whose libraries were rich in primary sources15. According to the passage, the existence of good one-volume reference works about Asian Americans could result in ______.A. increased agreement among professors of Asian American studies regarding the quality of the sources available in their fieldB. an increase in the number of students sighing up for introductory courses in Asian American studiesC. increased accuracy in writings that concern Asian American history and cultureD. the inclusion of a wider range of Asian American material in introductory reading lists in Asian American studiesIV Translate the following paragraph into English. ( 25 points )汉语中“关系”一词，有时可以用来表示“网络”。

You may not use any of the words in the word bank more than once.The development of modern technology has had a great impact on ourdaily lives. One of the most significant changes is in the way we communicate. With the _(25)_ of the Internet and mobile phones, we can now communicate with people all over the world instantly. This has made the world seem smaller and has brought people closer together.However, this also has some _(26)_ effects. For example, people may become too _(27)_ on electronic devices and neglect face - to - face communication. In addition, the _(28)_ of false information on the Internet has become a serious problem.Another area where technology has had a major impact is in transportation. New forms of transportation such as high - speed trains and electric cars are becoming more and more _(29)_. These new technologies are more environmentally friendly and can help reduce _(30)_ emissions.In the field of education, technology has also brought many changes. Online courses are now widely available, which allows people to study at their own _(31)_ and from anywhere in the world. However, some people worry that this may lead to a decrease in the quality of education as there may be less _(32)_ interaction between teachers and students.Overall, while modern technology has brought many benefits, we also need to be aware of its _(33)_ and take steps to address them.Word Bank:A) advent.B) addicted.C) adverse.D) availability.E) carbon.F) close.G) convenient.H) direct.I) disadvantages.J) emergence.K) environmental.L) pace.M) pollution.N) prevalent.O) spread.25.

Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Future of Work.A) The world of work is changing rapidly. Technological advancements such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation are transforming the way we work. These changes are not only affecting the types of jobsthat are available but also the skills that are required for success in the workplace.B) One of the most significant changes is the increasing automation of routine tasks. Machines are now able to perform many jobs that were previously done by humans, such as data entry, manufacturing, and customerservice. This has led to concerns about job losses, especially inindustries that rely heavily on manual labor.C) However, while some jobs may be disappearing, new jobs are alsobeing created. For example, the development of artificial intelligence has led to the emergence of new fields such as machine learning and data analytics. These fields require highly skilled workers who can develop, manage, and interpret complex algorithms.D) Another trend in the future of work is the increasing importance of soft skills. Soft skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem - solving are becoming more and more essential in the workplace. This is because as machines take over routine tasks, humans will need to focus on tasks that require human interaction and creativity.E) The rise of the gig economy is also changing the nature of work. In the gig economy, people work on a freelance or contract basis, oftenthrough online platforms. This gives workers more flexibility and control over their work, but it also means that they may not have the same job security or benefits as traditional employees.F) Technology is also enabling more remote work. With the developmentof high - speed Internet and communication tools, more and more people are able to work from home or other locations outside of the traditional office. This can improve work - life balance for employees and also reduce costsfor employers.G) However, remote work also has its challenges. For example, it can be difficult to maintain team cohesion and communication when employees arenot physically in the same location. Employers need to find ways to overcome these challenges, such as through the use of video conferencingand project management tools.H) In order to succeed in the future of work, individuals need to be adaptable and continuously learn new skills. Lifelong learning will be essential as the skills required for work are constantly evolving. Educational institutions and employers also need to play a role in providing training and development opportunities for workers.I) The future of work is likely to be more globalized. With the increasing ease of communication and transportation, companies are more likely to hire workers from all over the world. This means that individuals will need to be able to work effectively in a multicultural environment.J) Overall, the future of work is full of opportunities and challenges. While technological advancements are changing the nature of work, they also offer the potential for new jobs, greater flexibility, and improved productivity.34. Machines are taking over many jobs that were previously done by humans. B.35. New fields like machine learning and data analytics are emerging due to artificial intelligence. C.36. Soft skills are becoming more important as machines do routine tasks. D.37. The gig economy gives workers more flexibility but less job security. E.38. Remote work can improve work - life balance but has challenges in communication. F.39. Lifelong learning is necessary for individuals to succeed in the future of work. H.40. Companies are more likely to hire globally in the future. I.41. The future of work has both opportunities and challenges. J.42. Automation is not only affecting job types but also required skills.A.43. Employers need to use tools to overcome remote work challenges. G.Section C.Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. 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.Passage 1.The concept of "green jobs" has become increasingly popular in recent years. Green jobs are those that contribute to environmental protection and sustainable development. These jobs can be found in a variety of sectors, such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, waste management, and sustainable agriculture.One of the main drivers of the growth of green jobs is the increasing concern about climate change. As countries around the world strive toreduce their carbon emissions, they are investing in renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydro power. This has led to the creationof many jobs in the renewable energy sector, from research and developmentto installation and maintenance.In addition to renewable energy, energy efficiency is also an important area for green jobs. Improving the energy efficiency of buildings, for example, can reduce energy consumption and costs. Jobs in this area includeenergy auditors, who assess the energy use of buildings and recommend improvements, and insulation installers, who install energy - saving materials in buildings.Waste management is another sector with significant potential for green jobs. Recycling and composting are two important waste management methods that can reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. Jobs in waste management include waste collectors, recyclers, and composting operators.Sustainable agriculture is also an emerging area for green jobs. Organic farming, for example, uses natural fertilizers and pesticides, which are better for the environment. Jobs in sustainable agriculture include farmers, agricultural technicians, and food processors who work with organic products.44.

You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below:1. 现在大学生不仅要学习还要工作，如何平衡学习和工作？2. 你的做法是？3. 你的看法How to Balance Study and WorkIn today's society, many college students need to balance between study and work, as it becomes increasingly difficult forthem to solely focus on their academic studies. However, finding this balance is crucial to their success and well-being.To balance study and work effectively, students should first prioritize their tasks and set clear goals. By dividing their time between study and work, they can better manage their responsibilities and avoid feeling overwhelmed. Additionally, students should create a schedule that allows them to allocate sufficient time for both academic studies and work commitments. This will help them stay organized and on track towards achieving their goals.In my own experience, I have found that setting priorities and creating a schedule have been instrumental in balancing study and work. By staying organized and disciplined, I have been able to successfully manage my academic workload while also excelling in my job. Moreover, I have learned the importance of self-care and taking breaks when needed to avoid burnout.Overall, balancing study and work requires careful planning and self-discipline. By prioritizing tasks, creating a schedule, and practicing self-care, students can effectively manage their responsibilities and achieve success in both areas. It is important for students to remember that finding this balance is a process that requires continuous effort and adaptability.Part II Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

You should answer the questions based on the information given in the passage.For years people have been aware that arts programs are highly beneficial to children's education. Studies have shown time and time again that children who are exposed to arts programs perform better in school, have higher test scores, and are more likely to attend college.Despite this knowledge, arts programs in schools are often the first to receive cuts when budgets are tight. School administrators and policymakers often view arts programs as non-essential, focusing instead on core subjects like math and science. This mentality severely limits the opportunities availableto children and deprives them of the numerous benefits that arts education can provide.Arts programs play a crucial role in fostering creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Through visual arts, music, dance, and theater, children are able to explore their creativity and express themselves in ways that may not be possible through traditional subjects. Additionally, arts programs help to develop important skills such as communication, teamwork, and self-confidence, which are essential for success in today's society.Furthermore, arts education has been shown to have a positive impact on students' academic performance. Studies have found that students who participate in arts programs tend to have higher grades, better attendance records, and improved social and emotional development. They are also more likely to excel in other subjects and demonstrate higher levels of creativity and critical thinking.In light of these benefits, it is clear that arts education should be considered a vital part of every child's education. By providing children with access to arts programs, we are not only enriching their lives but also preparing them for success in an increasingly complex and competitive world.Questions:9. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The benefits of arts programs in schoolsB. The impact of arts education on children's academic performanceC. The challenges facing arts programs in schoolsD. The importance of arts education in fostering creativity10. Why do school administrators and policymakers often cut arts programs?A. Because arts programs are non-essentialB. Because arts programs are too expensiveC. Because they believe core subjects are more importantD. Because they do not value arts education11. What skills can children develop through arts programs?A.
