2012级四级模拟考试二答案Part I Writing (15%)Sample:This picture shows us a satirical fairy tale. During recruitment (job interview) in the forest, a cat wearing a graduation cap (mortar board) is interviewed for a job by a tiger. The cat says arrogantly, “Since I have such an excellent degree, I should be king of the forest.”The picture means to show that the cat can‟t evaluate his own abilities accurately. He attaches too much importance to his diploma while neglecting what he is actually capable of, thereby becoming blindly proud and wants to become the kind of the forest.This is a reflection of the real world. We often see people who achieved high marks in college but are incapable of applying in real life what they have learned. Some people have PhDs in medicine but can‟t treat patients. Some have master‟s degrees in finance but can‟t even use a cash register. This phenomenon can be seen in almost all fields, and it has already had a profoundly negative impact. If left unresolved, this problem will hinder the development of the society.We, as the architects of our country, should lay emphasis not only on diplomas, but also on personal capabilities. Employers should also be reminded not to continue their common practice of concentrating only on diplomas during the hiring process.Part II Reading Comprehension (Long Passage) (10%)1- 5 F I D E L 6-10 B C J H EPart III Listening Comprehension (35%)11-15 C C D B B 16-20 C A D C A 21-25 B A C B A26-30 A A D C B 31-35 A D C B B36) views 37) spirit 38) situation 39) illustrate 40) yield to41) particularly 42) ignore 43) abides by 44) arrest 45) figure outPart IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25%)46-50 M D O J E 51-55 I G B C K56-60 C D A C B 61-65 A D A C BPart V Translation (15%)Chinese knot is a unique Chinese handicraft with a long history. Its origin can be traced back to ancient times, when knots were not only necessary tools in people‟s daily life, but they were also used to record events and thus were considered sacred in the eyes of ancient Chinese. In Chinese culture “knot”has a special meaning. The Chinese character “knot”means reunion, friendliness, peace, warmth, marriage, love, etc. Chinese knots are often used to express good wishes, including happiness, prosperity, love and the absence of evil. There are many shops selling Chinese knots before the Spring Festival. It is said that Chinese knots can bring people good luck.听力原文Part III Listening ComprehensionSection A[01:14.77]11. M: This terrible weather has ruined our weekend plan.[01:21.68]W: Anyhow, we might as well have a dinner at the Grand Restaurant and then go to the Broadway Theater instead of a picnic and camping at the beach.[01:32.22]Q: What does the woman imply?[01:48.73]12. M: Did you hear Eva‟s presentation in the meeting last night?[01:55.70]W: Y es. How she could be so calm in front of such a large audience is really beyond me.[02:03.29]Q: What do we learn about Eva?[02:20.13]13. W: Hi, John, how‟s your project going?[02:26.45]M: Oh, just so so. Y ou know, it seems less difficult to get financial support for the project than to get trained men.[02:37.03]Q: What does the man mean?[02:53.71]14. M: Was your brother hurt in the accident?[02:59.99]W: He was shaken by the experience, but he‟s all right, physically. The car is a wreck though.[03:07.55]Q: What do we learn from the conversation?[03:24.95]15. M: Carl earned a lot of money over the summer vacation as a consultant to that company.[03:35.09]W: I don‟t doubt it. What surprises me is that he‟s still working there now that classes are about to start again.[03:44.24]Q: What does the woman imply?[04:00.95]16. W: I gained 10 pounds in the last 3 months, none of my clothes fit any more. [04:10.19]M: But you look much better. In fact, you can gain another 5 pounds and still look good.[04:18.10]Q: What does the man mean?[04:34.79]17. M: Do you mind coming back by coach instead of by train?[04:42.76]W: No, I don‟t mind at all. It takes a lot longer, but it is very comfortable and much cheaper.[04:51.45]Q: What will the woman do?[05:08.43]18. W: Well, I‟m still feeling a little homesick and so many things seem strange to me.[05:18.09]M: Y ou‟re bound to feel that way at first, I guess.[05:23.08]Q: What does the man imply?11-15 C C D B B 16-18 C A DConversation One[05:48.15]M: Come on, Judy, how are we going to convince everybody that my car wash idea is the best way to raise money for the Thanksgiving party at the student center?[06:01.63]W: It won‟t be easy.[06:03.91]M: Thanks a lot![06:05.76]W: Oh, I‟m just kidding. Actually, I think once we show how much money it could bring in, we‟ll be sure to convince everyone on campus to pitch in.[06:17.36]M: Well... how are we going to get the message out?[06:21.96]W: One thing I was thinking of is to hang up posters on the bulletin boards.[06:28.02]M: But that‟s not going to attract much attention. We need to do somethinginteresting.[06:35.11]W: Let me finish: I know someone who works at the campus print shop. Last week he said he could get hold of materials to make a big banner. That‟ll attract the attention of a lot of students if we can hang it in front of the student center.[06:52.93]M: Nice work![06:54.79]W: I‟ve also arranged to have an article published in the school paper next Wednesday. That way you can get the message out to the entire campus.[07:05.75]M: Uh-oh, that means I had better come up with an article pretty quickly.How about if I write it up and I‟ll let you be the first to read it? How about after English class tomorrow?[07:21.81]W: Sounds like a plan. I‟ll see you then.[07:25.70]M: Y ou‟re the greatest. I don‟t think I would have known what to do without your help.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard. C A B[07:41.33]19. What are the two speakers mainly talking about?[08:00.39]20. What can the woman‟s friend who works at the campus print shop help to do? [08:20.69]21. What does the man think of the woman?Conversation Two[08:41.69]M: Last time we talked about the history of paper, but do you know what paper is used for?[08:49.15]W: Oh, that‟s an easy question. Paper is used for newspapers, books, writing paper, envelopes, wrapping paper, paper bags...[09:00.44]M: Y es, actually only half of the paper that is made is used for such purposes. Have you got an idea about other uses of paper?[09:12.66]W: No, I‟m afraid not.[09:15.29]M: There are many other uses. Paper is very good for keeping you warm. Houses are often prevented against cold by paper. Y ou have perhaps seen homeless people asleep on a large number of newspapers.[09:33.53]W: Yes, I have. So they are preventing themselves against cold.[09:39.25]M: Y ou are right. In Finland, it is very cold in winter. It is sometimes 40 degrees Centigrade below zero. The farmers wear paper boots in the snow. Nothing could be warmer. [09:55.06]W: Oh, that‟s unbelievable.[09:57.90]M: Now more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper plates, cups and dishes for a long time. But now we hear that chairs, tables, and even beds can be made of paper.[10:12.66]W: Amazing![10:14.81]M: People have made paper boats, but they have not yet made paper planes or cars. Just wait, they probably will.[10:24.22]W: Well, you have become an expert on paper. How do you know all that?[10:30.43]M: Y ou know, I‟m preparing for a presentation on paper, so I‟ve looked up a lot of material.[10:38.48]W: Well, I‟m sure your presentation will go really well.[10:42.51]M: Thank you.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. A C B A[10:53.23]22. What function does paper perform in house-building?[11:12.53]23. Why do farmers of Finland wear paper boots in winter?[11:32.40]24. What do we learn about paper planes and cars?[11:51.62]25. How has the man got to know so much about paper?[12:10.78]Section B Passages[12:43.80]Passage One[12:45.78]When I was 11, I loved rock …n‟ roll, and more than anything else.[12:52.23]I wanted a record player for Christmas. Dad‟s army salary went only so far, [12:59.53]so he took a 1-dollar-an-hour job in the Post Exchange, swallowing his pride and working to buy me that record player.[13:10.22]A couple of months later, my father needed to have a heart surgery.[13:15.89]Tragically, the doctor made a mistake and gave him the blood of wrong type, and Dad‟s organs broke down, one by one. For five days he knew he was dying.[13:30.24]On his last day he wrote me a letter.[13:33.47]Mom handed me this letter only after I was honored along with other kids[13:39.73]at a seventh- and eighth-grade awards dinner.[13:43.85]When my dad died in my mother‟s arms, the last thing he said to her was,[13:50.12] “Make sure Jimmy gets to that dinner and don‟t tell him about this until it‟s over.”[13:56.67]Mom and Dad had only one serious argument.[14:01.07]He wanted mortgage insurance on our home.[14:04.68]He said, “It‟s the only investment we have, and if anything happens to me,[14:10.25]you and the kids will have the house.”“We can‟t afford it,” Mom said.[14:15.81]Six months after this argument, Dad died, and Mom thought we‟d lose the house. But three weeks later the insurance company sent an employee[14:26.86]with a check for the entire mortgage.[14:29.79]My father had somehow scraped the money together.[14:33.18]He was the most remarkable man I have ever known,[14:37.31]and he cared for his family above all.[14:42.53]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. A A D[14:50.02]26. How did the speaker‟s father manage to buy him the record player?[15:10.67]27. Why did the father‟s heart surgery fail?[15:29.39]28. What do we learn about the father‟s investment?[15:48.29]Passage Two[15:51.16]As a young man, Howard White of Portland, Oregon, was a basketball star at the University of Maryland and was drafted by the NBA, but knee injuries interrupted his career. [16:04.98]White is now vice-president of Jordan Brand for Nike Inc.[16:10.68]He considers himself a fortunate man[16:13.50]and thinks that his good fortune has been aided by his belief,[16:17.74]that is, small things in life, such as a simple polite greeting, can lead to large outcomes.[16:25.83]He works at a company where there are thousands of employees.[16:30.27]Though he doesn‟t know them all by name, he knows a fair share of them.[16:35.41]And almost all of them know him. It‟s all based on one simple principle:[16:42.26]he believes every single person deserves to be acknowledged.[16:46.72]For him, that begins with “hello.”[16:51.26]One day when White was about 10 years old, he was walking down the street with his mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee.[17:01.14]White was busy trying to hit the “O” in the stop sign with a rock and didn‟t pay any attention to Mr. Lee. After they passed Mr. Lee his mother said something that has stuck with him from then on.[17:16.25]She said, “Y ou let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody[17:22.14]and not open up your mouth to speak,[17:25.07]because even a dog can wave its tail when it passes you on the street.”[17:30.96]That phrase sounds simple but it‟s been a guideline for Howard White[17:35.72]and the foundation of who he is.[17:41.13]Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard. C B A D [17:48.40]29. What do we learn about Howard White?[18:07.03]30. What is the belief that contributes to Howard White‟s good fortune?[18:25.98]31. Why could most of the employees in the company know Howard White? [18:45.63]32. Why did White‟s mother blame him?[19:03.32]Passage Three[19:05.52]Many deaths from home fires are the result of burns and panic,[19:11.57]but most are caused by deadly smoke and gases.[19:16.20]These fatal fires are often caused by such careless acts as throwing away a lighted match or cigarette, allowing rubbish to pile up, overloading electrical wires, or misuse of heating and cooking equipment.[19:35.70]Few families go to bed at night without first checking to make sure that the doors and windows are locked, but they overlook a very basic fire safety rule.[19:48.83]This rule states that people should sleep with their bedroom doors closed.[19:55.18]Nighttime fires are most serious because the family is asleep and the discovery of fire is usually too late.[20:04.99]A closed bedroom door gives extra protection by delaying the gases and fire, thus giving the family a few minutes to escape.[20:16.31]Not everyone flees quickly from a burning home.[20:20.19]Children often panic and hide in closets or under beds.[20:26.12]Being prepared or knowing what to do in case fire breaks out can mean the difference between life and death.[20:35.46]All members of the family should know certain basic steps.[20:40.75]Everyone should know an escape route and second route from each room in the house.[20:48.38]A family should determine a way in which any members can sound an alarm. [20:55.12]And family members should be taught not to waste time getting dressed or collecting valuable possessions. Speed is necessary in escaping from fire.[21:10.81]Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. C B B [21:18.28]33. What is the main cause of death during home fires?[21:38.26]34. What is the basic fire safety rule before people go to bed at night?[21:59.34]35. How do children often react in case of fire?Section C Spot DictationWhat does it mean to obey the law? That depends on where you are. Different cultureshave very different 36) views of obeying the law. In some cultures, law-abiding citizens try to keep the letter of the law. That is, whatever the law says, they do. In other cultures, good citizens live by the 37) spirit of the law. They see the law only as a general guideline. Often they obey the law only when someone official is looking. The 38) situation in America fits into the first category. That doesn‟t mean all Americans keep the law. But American culture teaches people to respect the law—even to the smallest detail.Driving habits 39) illustrate American respect for the law. A driver will usually stop for a red light, even when there are no other cars around. People treat the lines marking streets and roads as definite boundaries, not just decorations. V ehicles 40) yield to those with the right of way—41) particularly pedestrians. Actually, though, drivers don‟t always keep traffic rules. For example, many drivers 42) ignore freeway speed limits. But Americans generally drive with careful attention to the traffic rules.Of course, not everyone in America 43) abides by the law. Crime is a growing problem. For that reason, law enforcement officials will never be out of a job. Police officers have their hands full trying to 44) arrest lawbreakers. Detective agencies spend countless hours trying to 45) figure out unsolved crimes. Nevertheless, most Americans still like to believe that the law will eventually catch the bad guys.。

四级标准听力测试模拟二SectionB答案解析

四级标准听力测试模拟二SectionB答案解析

Section B Passage One Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school. And, by the time that the average child finishes high school, he or she will have spent 18,000 hours in front of a television set as opposed to 12,000 hours in a classroom. Parents are concerned about these figures. They are also concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Even if it is unreal — a cartoon cat beating up a cartoon mouse with a baseball bat — this violence may have a negative effect on the young minds exposed to it. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure. Parents are also concerned about the commercials that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers. Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is “Sesame Street”, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live. Even though most parents and educators give “Sesame Street” and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television a day turns children into bored and passive consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. What is the main idea of the passage? 【解析】选[C]。

modeltest2 答案分析及听力原文---------------------------------------T est 2Part ⅠWriting参考范文:Internet, a T wo edged SwordInternet is playing an increasingly important role in people's life. As a newborn information delivering system, Internet has made diverse information available at our finger's tip. Besides, Internet serves as the most convenient means for communication. Through Internet, people can discuss various problems and make friends who share common views. Internet is also a faithful aid in our daily life since people can go shopping and get medical services online. So Internet is indeed one of the most interesting and important invention ever made.But Internet also has its own drawbacks which should not be neglected. First, it costs an alarming amount of money to construct the system and thus it is costly to most Chinese consumers. Second, it is sometimes difficult for people to find the right information they are looking for since there is much rubbish on the net. Finally, it is also difficult to prevent the net from theinvasion of hackers and viruses.Nevertheless, we should not give up eating for fear of choking. I think we should further develop the net and also exert stronger supervision over it so that we can make full use of it.Part ⅠReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)文章大意:本文主要讨论的是梦,涉及到四个方面:做梦的原因,做梦与睡眠的关系,怎样提高对梦的记忆及对一些梦境的解析。

Should Smoking Be Completely BannedPart II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quicklyand answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-7,choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A],[B],[C]and [D]. For questions 8-10,completethe sentences with the information given in the passage.Space Our Future in Space: It Has Already Begun!We are all space travelers. But we’ve stayed close to home until now. One day,we may leave our “mother ship”Earth to make our home among the stars.A giant, spherical “spaceship”, about 8,000 miles in diameter, is speedingthrough the solar system right now. It is cruising at an incredible 66,600 milesper hour.It’s not a giant, Star Wars mother ship. It’s spaceship Earth, the home ofover four billion people. This water coated spaceship has been traveling throughthe universe for about five billion years. Only within the past 25 years, however,have some of its passengers broken free of Earth’s gravityBut 25 years from now, many people, including you, might live in an orbitingspace station 200 miles above the Earth.Space CitiesScientists have already designed special space factories. These factories will take advantage of the absence of gravity (zero gravity) to produce everything from life saving drugs to perfect ball bearings.Other scientists have designed space colonies, complete with farms, schools,and artificial day and night. Hundreds, or even thousands, of people will live, work,play—even go toschool, far above the Earth.Our conquest of space, of course, has already begun. We have explored part of the Moon, sent robot spaceships onto the surface of Venus and Mars, and aimed space probes past the planets of Jupiter and Saturn.Last June, one robot ship, Pioneer 10, left our solar system forever. Andastronauts from both the Soviet Union and the United States have lived in spacestations.The conquest of space, without question, is one of the greatest adventures human beings have ever set out on. But it may be more than a great adventure. Some scientiststhink the conquest of space may be a necessity for survival of the human species.We are tearing up more and more of the Earth to get raw materials for industry.And we are polluting the air and water as we manufacture products that we need or want. Almost everything that seems to make our lives more comfortable, and fromelectricity to pesticides, uses up or alters a piece of our planet’s natural environment.Why Go into Space?Yet our solar system is full of resources. The moon is chockfull of valuable metals. So are the asteroids, the small, rocky, planet like bodies orbiting the sun most of them between Mars and Jupiter. These metals, if we can get them, could be used to build factories and space stations.Also, in space, there is no atmosphere to filter out the sun’s energy. There is plenty of solar energy to be turned into electricity for manufacturing, for creating comfortable living conditions.Getting away from Earth has other advantages, too. Modern industry uses manykinds of metal alloys (mixtures of metal thatare better for certain purposes thanpure metals). Yet some metal alloys either can’t be made or are very expensive to make on Earth because of gravity. For instance, certain metals don’t mix well onEarth. But in zero gravity, molten (hot, liquid) metals mix more evenly. This is because there is no gravity to pull the heavier metals down, while the lighter ones float on top.From space, too, we can look down on the Earth and study the atmosphere, its weather, and the effects of air pollution.And because there is no strong gravity to break free from, our future homes away from Earth will be convenient starting points for travel to distant planets.But, while going into space might solve some problems, outer space can also be a dangerous place. For example, in outer space, we have to protect ourselves from the dangers of ultraviolet light and cosmic rays. Ultraviolet light from the sun can give us bad sunburns right here on Earth. Yet, Earth’s atmosphere screens out most of that harmful radiation. Cosmic rays are tiny high energy particles from outer space. Again, the Earth shields us from most of them.At Home in Space?But in space, without special protection, we would be exposed to much stronger radiation from ultraviolet light and cosmic rays. Also, in the zero gravity of outer space, our bones will lose calcium and become weaker. This will be more of a problem the longer people stay out in space. Doctors are looking for a way to keep our bones from losing calcium in outer space. And a small spaceship just might “drive you batty” after a while. But even on a short trip in outer space, you might not feelas well as you’d like to. Space travel could make you seasick!Yet, these risks won’t keep people from going into space. Eventually, an Earth like environment will be built in space. And they will be populated by people with many different interests: medicine, construction, farming, teaching, mining, and so on.The next hundred years will be filled with other worldly adventures, exciting scientific discoveries, and danger, as humans leave Earth—perhaps forever.Aging in SpaceSuppose a space traveler is moving at a velocity of 186,200 miles per second.For every hour that passes for him, 30 hours pass on Earth. If he travels for a year in this fashion (having accelerated instantaneously) and then turns around and comes back at this speed (having turned around instantaneously), he will find that while he has seemed to himself to have traveled two years, the men on Earth would claim he had been absent for 30 years.Suppose the space traveler had left at the age of 30, leaving behind a twin brother also aged 30. When he returned he would be 32, but his stay at home twinbrother would be 60. That is why the “clock paradox”, is sometimes called the “twin paradox”.Of course it takes quite a long while to accelerate to a high speed, and a long while to make a turn and head back again, so conditions aren’t quite as clear cut as just described.1.The giant, spherical spaceship mentioned in the passage is.[A]the outer space[B]a man made spaceship[C]the planet Earth[D]the Star Wars mothe ship2.Some persons have traveled into outer space after conquering within the past 25years.[A]the universe[B]Earth’s gravity[C]the earth[D]outer space3.We have explored or sent robot spaceships to the following space except.[A]the moon[B]Venus[C]Jupiter[D]Mars4.Why is the conquest of space more than a great adventure?[A]Because it is full of challenges for human beings.[B]Because it may be necessary for human beings to survive.[C]Because it is the greatest adventure in human history.[D]Because it is more exciting than any other adventures.5.The moon and the asteroids are alike with respect to their .[A]size and moving ways[B]comfortable living conditions[C]rich and valuable metals[D]solar energy6.Why can’t ultraviolet light scorch our skin on Earth as seriously as it does in space places?[A]Because the Earth’s atmosphere can make ultraviolet light less harmful.[B]Because ultraviolet can’t reach the Earth at all.[C]Because the Earth is far away from those planets radiating ultraviolet light.[D]Because other space places is near from those planets radiating ultravioletlight.7.In spite of many risks, scientists will finally build in space suitable for humans to live.[A]an environment without ultraviolet light[B]a lot of homes[C]an Earth like environment[D]an environment with atmosphere8.The reason some metal alloys can’t be made on Earth is that the heavier metals together with the lighter ones.9.In space, there is no atmosphere to filter out the sun’s energy. There is plentyof solar energy to be turned into, for creating comfortable living conditions.10.According to the author, will be caused to a man in gravity free space.Part III Listening Comprehension(35 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.
