2015年英语四级阅读模拟试题及答案（精品试卷五）Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage isfollowed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of themthere are four choices markedA．,B．, C． and D．. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much,he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differencebetween the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bitby bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like otherpeople's. In the same way, when children learn to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ridea bicycle--compare those performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a childa chance to find out his own mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never noticea mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he wasmade t o. Soon he becomes d ependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, whatthis word says, what answer is to that problem, whether this is a goodway of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics orscience, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Whyshould we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be tohelp the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let's end this nonsense of grades, exams,marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that thereis a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest ofone's life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, "But suppose they fail to learnsomething essential, something they will need to get in the world?"Don't worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.56. What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things? A． By imitating what other people do.B． By making mistakes and having them corrected.C． By listening to explanations from skilled people.D． By asking a great many questions.57.

The title of this passage could probably be__________.A． Let Teachers Stop WorkB． Let Us Make Children LearnC． Let Children Correct Their Own PapersD． Let Children Learn by ThemselvesPassage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of thebest ways to make an important decision, such as choosing a universityto attend or a business to invest in, involves the utilization of adecision worksheet.Psychologists who study optimization ( 最优化 ) compare the actual decisions made b y people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how s imilar they are. Proponents (支持者) of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions. Although there areseveral variations on the exact format that worksheets can take,they are all similar in their essential aspects. Worksheets require defining theproblem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the pertinent (相关的) considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined. Each consideration isassigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together. Thealternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision.Since most important problems are multifaceted (多层面的), there are several alternatives to choose from,each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One o f the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average, people cankeep about seven ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can beespecially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships.

2015年12月四级英语考试真题与答案解析作文（一）周思远题目：For this part，you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying “Learning is a daily experience and a lifelong mission。

”You can cite examples to illustrate the importance of lifelong learning。

You should write at least 120 words，no more than 180 words。

参考范文：Currently in this constantly changing world，learning becomes a seemingly convenient but actually more complex matter。

As an old saying goes，”Learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission”。

Apparently，the meaning of this saying is that if we truly desire to learn something，we are supposed to devote our life to it。

There are several reasons accounting for this viewpoint。

For one thing，learning itself is an actually complicated and painful matter，and as a result，it is advisable for us to commit much more time even our whole life to it。

15年英语四级大学模拟考试—解析

15年英语四级大学模拟考试——解析Part Ⅱ 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 singleline through the centre.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Every year 100 million holiday—makers are drawn to the Mediterranean. With one third of the world's tourist trade, it is the most popular of all the holiday destinations; it is also the most polluted.It has only 1 per cent of the world's sea surface, but carries more than half the oil and tar floating on the waters. Thousands of factories pour their poison into the Mediterranean, and almost every city, town and village on the coast sends its sewage, untreated, into the sea. The result is that the Mediterranean, which nurtured so many civilizations, is gravely ill—the first of the seas to fall victim to the abilities and attitudes that evolved around it. And the pollution does not merely keep back life of the sea—it threatens the people who inhabit and visit its shores. The mournful form of disease is caused by sewage.Eighty five per cent of the waste from the Mediterranean's 120 coastal cities is pushed out in to the waters where their people and visitors bathe and fish. What is more, most cities just drop it in straight off the beach; rare indeed are the places like Cannes and Tel Aviv which pipe it even half a mile offshore. Not surprisingly, vast areas of the shallows are awash with bacteria and it doesn't take long for these to reach people. Professor William Brumfitt of the Royal Free Hospital once calculated that anyone who goes for a swim in the Mediterranean has a one in seven chance of getting some sort of disease. Other scientists say this is an overestimate; but almost all of them agree that bathers are at risk. Industry adds its own poisons. Factories cluster round the coastline, and even the most modern rarely has proper waste treatment plant. They do as much damage to the sea as sewage. But the good news is that the countries of the Mediterranean have been coming together to work out how to save their common sea. 21. The causes of the Mediterranean's pollution is____. A) the oil and tar floating on the water B) many factories put their poison into the sea C) untreated sewage from the factories and coastal cities D) there are some sorts of diseases in the sea 22. Which of following consequence of a polluted sea is not true according to the passage? A) Bring up so many civilizations. B) Various diseases in the sea. C) It threatens the inhabitants and travelers. D) One in seven chance of getting some sort of disease swimming in the sea. 23. The word “sewage”refer to ____. A) poison C) liquid material B) waste D) solid material 24. Why does industry do much damage to the sea? A) Because most factories have proper waste treatment plants. B) Because many factories have not properwaste treatment plants even the most modern one. C) Because just the modern factory has a waste treatment plant. D) Because neither ordinary factories nor most modern ones have p roper waste treatment plants. 25. What is the passage mainly about? A) Save the world. B) How the people live in the Mediterranean sea. C) How the industry dangers the sea. D) Beware the dirty sea.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: THE CLASSROOM is a man's world, where boys gettwo thirds of the teachers' attention — even when they are in a minority— taunt (辱骂) the girls without punishment, and receive praise for sloppy work that would not be tolerated from girls. They are accustomed to being teachers' pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, they will protest eagerly and even wreck lessons. These claims are made in a book out this week, written by Dale Spender, a lecturer at the London University Institute of Education. She argues that discrimination against girls is so deeply in co educational schools that single sex classes are the only answer.Her case is based on tape recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons. Many of them, like Spender, had deliberately set out to give girls a fair chance.“Sometimes,” says Spender, “I have even thought I have gone too far and have spent more time with the girls than the boys.” The tapes proved otherwise. In 10 taped lessons (in secondary school and college), Spender never gave the girlsmore than 42 per cent of her attention (the average was 38 percent) and never gave the boys less than 58 percent. There were similar results for other teachers, both male and female. In other words, when teachers give girls more than a third of their time, they feel that they are cheating the boys of their rightful share. And so do the boys themselves. “She always asks the girls all the questions,” said one boy in a classroom where 34 per cent of the teachers' time was allocate d to girls. “She doesn't like boys, and just listens to the girls.” said a boy in another class, where his sex got 63 per cent of teacher attention. Boys regarded two thirds of the teacher's time as a fair deal — and when they got less they caused trouble in class and even complained to higher authority. “It's important to keep their attention,” said one teacher, “Otherwise, they play you up something awful.” Spender concludes that, in mixed classes, if the girls are as boisterous and pushy as the boys, they are considered “unladylike”, if they are docile and quiet, they are ignored. 26. If boys are better treated in class, ____ would be better. A) single sex classes and co educational classes B) co educational classes C) single sex classes D) None of the above 27. Dale Spender obtained the evidence for her claims by ____ . A) her own lessons in secondary school and college B) the other teachers' tape recordings C) both male and female teachers D) tape recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons 28. What are the boy's reactions when girls are given more attention? A) They will keep the teachers' attention again. B) They will make some trouble and complain to the headmaster. C) They will play up the teacher something awful. D) They will feel they are cheated by teachers. 29. The word “boisterous” in the last paragraph probably means ____. A) rough B) brave C)troublesome D) emotional 30. The best title for this passage would be ____. A) boys are teachers' pets B) boys do better in co educational classes C) single sex classes are better than co eduationedclasses D) girls do better than boysQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: Gestures aren't the only area in which the unwary traveler can get tripped up. Foreign cultures adhere to different business customs and behavior. For example: Caffeine junkies should restrain themselves in the Middle East.“Three cups of tea or coffee isusually the polite limit in offices and during social calls,” counsels “Travel Pak,” a free publication of Alia, the Royal Jordanian Airline.“But if your host keeps going, you also may continue sipping. If you've had your fill, give your empty cup a quick twist a sort of wiggle—as you hand it back. That means “No more, thank you.” Middle East visitors also should not be surprised “if others barge right into the office in the middle of your conversation with the person you are seeing,” notes “Travel Pak.” An old Arab custom calls for keeping an “open office.” The British, however, consider it impolite to interrupt a visitor, even after all business has been transacted. The commercial caller is expected to be sensitive to this point, know when to stop, and initiate his or her own departure. In Japan certain guests at evening business gatheringswill leave early. They should be allowed to leave without effusive good byes. The Japanese consider formal departures to be disruptive in such cases and disturbing to remaining guests. In Scandinavia and Finland business guests may be asked to shed their clothes and join their hosts in a sauna. The invitation is a sign that a good working relationship has been established. In the Arab world, the word “no” must be mentioned three times before it is accepted. In contrast, it is considered good business manners to make many and long efforts to pick up the check. In the People's Republic of China, gift giving is considered an insult, says Patrick J. Lewis, President of Club Universe, a Los Angeles tour operator. “If you want to give someone a gift, make sure it's modest in value. This will not be considered offensive, but it may be declined, ” The Chinese manner of expressing friendship and welcome is to clap. Lewis adds. “You may be greeted with clapping when entering a factory, hospital, commune, or school.Politeness dictates that you respond with applause, even though it may seem like you're clapping for yourself.” 31. In the Middle East, it is considered ____. A) impolite to drink at least 3 cups of coffee B) impolite to drink more than 3 cups of coffee unless your host drinks more C) polite to ask the host to give you as more as he can D) polite to leave a party as early as you want 32. In Japan, the guest at an evening party will ____. A) leave early without saying good bye B) stay as long as he can C) stay to have a swimming with the host D) present their business cards immediately 33. In Finland, business guests may ____.

How could Afro Americans contribute anything to American history when they were just slaves and servants? This is the image which many of us are taught when we go to school. This is the image many Afro Americans have of themselves also. The Afro Americans need to remake their real historical image so that it is known and accepted in its truthfulness by themselves and the rest of the world. Men and women of darker color are human beings entitled to respect and acceptance in history. When we think of famous scientists and inventors we immediately think of men such as Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison and Jonas E.Salk. This is because we associate famous people with the Anglo Saxon race. But what about theAfro American inventors and scientists? How many men during World War Ⅰ owe their lives to Garrett Morgan who inventedthe gas mask? Garrett Morgan also invented the traffic light which saves numerous lives on our streets. Daniel Hale Williams was the first successful heart surgeon. Charles Drew saved hundreds of thousands of lives during World War II by his discovery of the ways and means of preserving blood plasma. Percy Julian has helped millions suffering from the excruciating pain of arthritis. These men and others should be as easily recognized as Bell, Edison and Salk. America is made up of many different blends of cultures. These many cultures have come to enrich and diversify the American way of life. We should not think, because history has neglected to include the background of a particular culture, that these people have an inferior history. We should search for the truth and set the record straight against the slanders, the stereotyping and false images which have identified these people. We should understand each of the cultures and learn of their specific contribution to America's lifestory. Only after we are taught the complete and accurate history of our great country and learn that the blending of cultures and backgrounds gives us ourstrength, can we go forward on the path to peace. 36. The function of the first paragraph is to ____. A) present the main idea or the summary of the essay B) present an introduction to the topic C) provide background to the main theme D) present many cultures have contributed to American history 37. Which of the following statements is true? A) Graham Bell, T.Edison and J.E.Salk are not very important people. B) Black people who contribute to society should have equal recognition with their white colleagues. C) We should not associate famous people with the Anglo Saxon race only. D) G.Morgan, D.H.Williams and Charles Drew were not Afro Americans. 38. Paragraph three tells us that ____. A) we should oppose slander and stereotyping B) the American way of life is richer because it is made up of many cultures C) some cultures have been completely neglected D) Afro Americans have an inferior history 39. The word “image” refers to ____. A) picture B) portray C) impression D) similar 40. The main idea of the passage is ____. A) There are many Afro Americans who are famous asscientists and inventors B) Many Afro Americans have devoted to American history C) Afro American experience to American history D) Afro American history must be recognized as an important part of American historyPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Google is even reportedly working on eyeglasses that could one day recognize faces and supply details about whoever you're looking at. But new research shows that outsourcing our memory –and expecting that information will be continually and instantaneously available --is changing our cognitive habits.Research conducted by Betsy Sparrow, an assistant professor of psychology at Columbia University, has identified three new realities about how we process information in the Internet age. First, her experiments showed that when we don't know the answer to a question, we nowthink about where we can find the nearest Web connection instead of the subject of the question itself. A second revelation is that when we expect to be able to find information again later on, we don't remember it as well as when we think it might become unavailable. And then there is the researchers' final observation: the expectation that we'll he able to locate inf orination down the line leads us to form a memory not of the fact itself but of where we'II be able to find it.But this handoff comes with a downside. Skills like critical thinking and analysis must develop in the context of facts: we need something to think and reason about, after all. And these facts can't be Googled as we go;they need to be stored in the original hard drive, our long-term memory. Especially in the case of children, "factual knowledge must precede skill," says Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology, at the University of Virginia -- meaning that the days of drilling the multiplication table and memorizing the names of the Presidents aren't over quite yet. Adults, too, need to recruit a supply of stored knowledge in order to situate and evaluate new information they encounter. You can't Google context.Last, there's the possibility, increasingly terrifying to contemplate, that our machines fail us. As Sparrow puts it, "The experience of losing our Internet connection becomes more and more like losing a friend." If you're going to keep your memory on your smart phone, better make sure it's fully charged.81. Google’s eyeglasses are supposed to _ __.[A]improve our memory[B]function like memory[C]help us see faces better[D]work like smart phones82. According to the passage, “cognitive habits” refers to _ __.[A] how we deal with information[B] functions of human memory[C] the amount of information[D] the availability of information83. Which of the following statements about Sparrow’s research is CORRECT?[A] We remember people and things as much as before.[B] We remember more Internet connections than before.[C] We pay equal attention to location and content of information.[D]We tend to remember location rather than the core of facts.84. What does the author mean by “context”?[A]It refers to long-term memory.[B]It refers to a new situation.[C]It refers to a store of knowledge.[D]It refers to the search engine.85. What is the implied message of the author?[A]Web connections aid our memory.[B]People differ in what to remember.[C]People keep memory on smart phones.[D]People need to exercise their memory.Text BI was a second-year medical student at the university, and was on my second day of rounds at a nearby hospital. My university's philosophy was to get students seeing patients early in their education. Nice idea,but it overlooked one detail:second-year students know next to nothing about medicine.Assigned to my team that day was an attending - a senior faculty member who was there mostly to make patients feel they weren't in the hands of amateurs. Many attendings were researchers who didn't have much recent hospital experience. Mine was actually an arthritis specialist. Also along was a resident (the real boss, with a staggering mastery of medicine, at least to a rookie like myself). In addition there were two interns(住院实习医生). These guys were just as green as I was，but in a scarier way: they had recently graduated from the medical school, so they were technically MDs.I began the day at 6:30 am. An intern and I did a quick check of our eight patients; later, we were to present our findings to the resident and then to the attending. I had three patients and the intern had the other five - piece of cake.But when I arrived in the room of 71-year-old Mr. Adams，he was sitting up in bed, sweating heavily and panting (喘气). He'd just had a hip operation and looked terrible. I listened to his lungs with my stethoscope, but they sounded clear. Next I checked the logof his vital signs and saw that his respiration and heart rate had been climbing, but his temperature was steady. It didn't seem like heart failure, nor did it appear to be pneumonia. So I asked Mr. Adams what he thought was going on."It's really hot in here, Doc," he replied.So I attributed his condition to the stuffy room and told him the rest of the team would return in a few hours. He smiled and feebly waved goodbye.At 8:40 am., during our team meeting, "Code Blue Room 307!" blared from the loudspeaker. I froze.That was Mr. Adams's room.When we arrived, he was motionless.The autopsy (尸体解剖) later found Mr. Adams had suffered a massive pulmonary embolism (肺部栓塞). A blood clot had formed in his leg, worked its way to his lungs, and cut his breathing capacity in half. His symptoms had been textbook: heavy perspiration and shortness of breath despite clear lungs. The only thing was: I hadn't read that chapter in the textbook yet. And I was too scared, insecure, and proud to ask a real doctor for help.This mistake has haunted me for nearly 30 years, but what'sparticularly frustrating is that the same medical education system persists. Who knows how many people have died or suffered harm at the hands of students as naive as I, and how many more will?86. Why was the author doing rounds in a hospital? ?[A]He himself wanted to have practice.[B]Students of all majors had to do so.[C]It was part of his medical training.[D]He was on a research team.87. We learn that the author’s team members had __.[A]much practical experience[B]adequate knowledge[C]long been working there [D]some professional deficiency88. While the author was examining Mr. Adams, all the following symptoms caught hisattention EXCEPT __ __.[A]moving difficulty [B]steady temperature[C]faster heart rate [D]breathing problem89. “His symptoms had been textbook” means that his symptoms were _ ___.[A]part of the textbook[B]no longer in the textbook[C]recently included in the textbook[D]explained in the textbook90. At the end of the passage, the author expresses __ __ about the medical education system.[A]optimism[B]hesitation[C]concern[D]supportTEXT CThe war on smoking, now five decades old and counting, is one of the nation's greatest public health success stories - but not for everyone.As a whole, the country has made amazing progress. In 1964,four in ten adults in the US smoked; today fewer than two in ten do. But some states - Kentucky, South Dakota and Alabama to name just a few - seem to have missed the message that smoking is deadly.Their failure is the greatest disappointment in an effort to save lives that was started on Jan. 11, 1964, by the first Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health. Its finding that smoking is a cause of lung cancer and other diseases was major news then. The hazards of smoking were just starting to emerge.The report led to cigarette warning labels, a ban on TV ads and eventually ananti-smoking movement that shifted the nation's attitude on smoking. Then, smokers were cool. Today, many are outcasts, rejected by restaurants, bars, public buildings and even their own workplaces. Millions of lives have been saved.The formula for success is no longer guesswork: Adopt tough warning labels, air public service ads, fund smoking cessation programs and impose smoke-free laws. But the surest way to prevent smoking, particularly among price-sensitive teens, is to raise taxes. If you can stop them from smoking, you've won the war. Few people start smoking after turning 19.The real-life evidence of taxing power is powerful. The 10 states with the lowest adult smoking rates slap an average tax of $ on every pack -- three times the average tax in the states with the highest smoking rates.New York has the highest cigarette tax in the country, at $ per pack, and just 12 percent of teens smoke, far below the national average of 18 percent. Compare that with Kentucky, where taxes are low (60 cents), smoking restrictions are weak and the teen smoking rate is double New York's. Other low-tax states havesimilarly dismal records.Enemies of high tobacco taxes cling to the tired argument that they fall disproportionately on the poor. True, but so do the deadly effects of smoking, far worse than a tax. The effect of the taxes is amplified further when the revenue is used to fund initiatives that help smokers quit or persuade teens not to start.Anti-smoking forces have plenty to celebrate this week, having helped avoid 8 million premature deaths in the past 50 years. But as long as 3,000 adolescents and teens take their first puff each day, the war is not won.91. What does "counting" mean in the context?[A] Continuing. [B] Including.[C] Calculating. [D] Relying on.92. According to the context, "Their failure" refers to__ _____.[A] those adults who continue to smoke[B] those states that missed the message[C] findings of the report[D] hazards of smoking93. The following are all efforts that led to the change of attitude on smoking EXCEPT_____.[A] rejecting by the public[B] cigarette warning labels[C] anti-smoking campaigns[D] anti-smoking legislation94. According to the author, raising tax on cigarettes___ ____.[A] is unfair to the poor [B] is an effective measure[C] increases public revenue [D] fails to solve the problem95. What is the passage mainly about? ?[A] How to stage anti-smoking campaigns.[B] The effects of the report on smoking and health.[C] Tax as the surest path to cut smoking.[D] The efforts to cut down on teenage smoking.TEXT DAttachment Parenting is not Indulgent Parenting. Attachment parents do not "spoil" their children. Spoiling is done when a child is given everything that they want regardless of what they need and regardless of what is practical. Indulgent parents give toys for tantrums(发脾气), ice cream for breakfast. Attachment parents don't give their children everything that they want, they give their children everything that they need. Attachment parents believe that love and comfort are free and necessary. Not sweets or toys.Attachment Parenting is not "afraid of tears" parenting. Our kids cry. The difference is that we understand that tantrums and tears come from emotions and not manipulation. And our children understand this too, They cry and have tantrums sometimes, of course. But they do this because their emotions are so overwhelming that they need to get it out. They do not expect to be "rewarded" for their strong negative emotions; they simply expect that we will listen. We pick up our babies when they cry, and we respond to the tears of our older children because we believefirmly that comfort is free, love is free, and that when a child has need for comfort and love, it is our job to provide those things. We are not afraid of tears. We don't avoid them. We hold our children through them and teach them that when they are hurt or frustrated we are here to comfort them and help them work through their emotions.Attachment Parenting is not Clingy Parenting. I do not cling to my children, In feet, I'm pretty free-range. As soon as they can move they usually move away from me and let me set up a chase as they crawl, run, skip and hop on their merry way to explore the world, Sure, I carry them and hug them and chase them andkiss them and rock them and sleep with them, But this is not me following them everywhere and pulling them back to me. This is me being a home base. The "attachment" comes from their being allowed to attach to us, not from us attaching to them like parental leeches.Attachment Parenting is not Selfish Parenting. It is also not selfless parenting, We are not doing it for us, and we are not doing it to torment ourselves,Attachment parenting is not Helicopter Parenting. I don't hover, I supervise, I follow, I teach, I demonstrate, I explain. I don't slap curious hands away, I show how to do things safely, I let my child do the things that my child wishes to do, first with help and then with supervision and finally with trust, I don't insist that my 23 month old hold my hand when we walk on the sidewalk because I know that I can recall him with my voice because he trusts me to allow him to explore and he trusts me to explain when something is dangerous and to help him satisfy his curiosities safely.Most of the negative things that I hear about "attachment parents" are completely off-base and describe something that is entirely unlike Attachment Parenting. Attachment Parenting is child-centric and focuses on the needs of the child. Children need structure, rules, and boundaries. Attachment Parents simply believe that the child and the parent are allies, not adversaries, And that children are taught, not trained.96. What makes attachment parents different from indulgent parents is that they ? .A. show more love to their childrenB. think love is more importantC. prefer both love and toys in parentingD. dislike ice cream or sweets97. According to the author, what should parents do when their kids cry??A. Providing comfort and love.B. Trying to stop kids crying.C. Holding them till they stop.D. Rewarding kids with toys.98. What does “free-range” mean according to the passage?A. Fond of providing a home base.B. Ready to play games with my kids.C. Curious to watch what games they play.D. Willing to give kids freedom of movement.99. Which of the following is NOT attachment parenting? ?A. Fostering their curiosity.B. Standing by and protecting.C. Showing them how things are done.D. Helping them do the right thing.100. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to foster love in children.B. How to build child confidence.C. Different types of parenting.D. Parent-child relationships.答案解析：PART I DICTATIONMale and Female Roles in MarriageIn the traditional marriage, the man worked to earn money for the family. / The woman stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. / In recent years, many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of this kind. / Some。

2015年6月大学英语四级考试全真模拟题及答案

2015年6月大学英语四级考试模拟题及答案听力原文及答案Part I Writing 写作范文Being connected to some great friends of mine in college is really a wonderful feeling. Like most college undergraduates, I happened to meet a good member of good friends when I set foot on my university’s beautiful campus. They are all helpful, energetic and intelligent. So, I have trouble pointing my finger at one particular friend who is the most inspiring one to me. After long deliberation, I decide to write about Jim, who is such a guy in some sense.I do have my reasons to take him as the most inspiring friend in the past three years of college. Firstly, he has an ability to manage his time and his priorities very well every day, so he is a good example in this sense to me, a lazy guy who is always desperate to fulfill my schedule. Secondly, Jim helps or leads me to success in my study, by encouraging and sometimes pushing me to form good learning habits. Thirdly, he has a positive attitude towards life, never complaining and always seeing thebright sides of things. I really want to learn to be a guy just like that.In the deep of my mind, I take Jim as one of my best friends.I learned a great deal from him. I feel comfortable staying and studying together with him. Rather, I should say, I am immensely motivated and inspired by him, in a serious sense.Part II Listening Comprehension 听力原文Section A1. W: When was the last time you bought me a flower? After our graduation from college and having been working for ten years, do you remember?M: Oh, sorry, darling. Which year did we finish our college?Q: What does the man imply?2. W: Come along, Jack, there’s a taxi coming to us.M: Ok, let’s hurry to catch it before others do. It’s hard to get one at this time of the rush hour in the morning.Q: What does the man most probably mean?3. M: A nita, it seems you’re heading for the library. Do you have much homework to do these days?W: Yes, I can’t complain. But, I have to finish reading those books on my reading list and hand in my term paper on American literature within two days.Q: What do we learn about the woman?4. W: Dealing with the statistics really bores me to death.I hope I can get done with it sooner.M: Relax! You know, we all have the same task. Just do it step by step. It will be done finally.Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?5. W: Larry, you said you’d file your article to me before leaving yesterday. I didn’t find it in my inbox.M: I’m awfully sorry. I’m doing the final touch to the article. I promise, it will be good in a few minutes.Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?6. M: I’m not surprised that you didn’t take interest in these programs of Spring Festival Gala. I know, you usually don’t like noisy TV programs.W: Don’t talk about me. It appears to me that you enjo yed them very much, indeed.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?7. M: My life experience makes me realize that honesty always is the best policy.W: It seems you have an excessively positive understanding of that word.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?8. M: How many gifts should I prepare for our daughter’s graduation ceremony? She said she’d give one to each of her classmates.W: I think thirty five will do. Wait a second. Let’s get 5 more for her teachers.Q: What are the two speakers talking about? Conversation OneM: Have you heard about the too-pretty-to-work case on TV?A girl who is very pretty is actually fired by her employer. Can you believe that?W: That’s really weird. By law, one can’t be fired for hi s or her appearance. Employers can’t fire someone based on race, gender, age or disabilities.M: But, that happens frequently in our workplace. If one female employee’s clothes are too revealing, and her boss doesn’t like it, she’ll be somehow fired.W: There’s no accounting for tastes. But, it’s illegal to do that, firing someone for inappropriate clothes. I guess, there’re many similar cases like that.M: That’s for certain. It’s unacceptable in the eyes of some employers if one’s too attractive.But, being ugly is also not good by some employers’ standard.W: By the same line of reasoning, being too fat may also be a problem.M: That’s true. Employers refuse to hire or promote overweight people because of their body weight, especially overweight women.W: If that happens, those employers can also be criticized for their discrimination against women, not only for their illegal discrimination based on body weight.M: Other cases may open your eyes further. I have been told three times that someone is fired for his shoes, for being too short, and even for being too young.W: Wow, how can we deal with these sorts of discrimination? Maybe, it’s advisable for us to ask help from an employment lawyer before starting to hunt for a job.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.9. What has law said about employers’ firing employees?10. Why are overweight women more likely to be fired than overweight male employees?11. What’s the woman’s suggestion to one who’s facing workplace discrimination?Conversation TwoW: Cycling in modern cities is very dangerous. A cyclist may run into traffic accidents and get seriously hurt. However, cycling has many potential plus points.M: As far as I know, the increase in the number of people who cycle, rather than drive, could not only reduce air pollution and green gas emissions, but also lower people’s risk of developing a number of diseases.W: Besides that, many studies in Copenhagen also found positive benefits of cycling. They found people who did not cycle to work experienced a 39% higher death rate than those who did. In other words, cycling extends people’s life span.M: That’s true. But, as you mentioned just now, cycling through heavy traffic may be rather dangerous. The question is, how can large cities do to make cycling safer and more attractive to people.W: The first idea occurring to me is that large cities have to do some work on urban design and relevant policies.M: I heard European cities like Paris have done a lot in these fields, to make cycling safe. Though many of the streets in Paris are centuries old, and comparatively speaking, very narrow, bike lanes have been prominently planned and marked. Although some lanes are often crazily disconnected, disappearing and appearing again in a seemingly random, it can be seen that Paris has achieved much in urban design.W: How about relevant policies in Paris? Are there policies established in favor of cycling?M: Yes, Paris did very well in this aspect. For example, by law, cars are required to drive under a speed limit of 30 kph. Otherwise, the driver will be fined heavily for speeding. It makes cyclists feel much safer, even cycling close to cars on the road.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12. What’s the dangerous side of cycling in modern cities?13. What can cycling help our environment?14. What’s true about bike lanes in Paris?15. What policy does Paris adopt for the benefit of cyclists?Section BPassage OneIt takes time and effort to nurture the parent-child relationship. As is well known, the quality of the relationship between parents and their children is often threatened by long, non-traditional work hours and the influence of social media. Spending more quality time with your child, engaged in activity or conversation, can help mend a troubled relationship.Research shows that effective communication is essential in building a strong parent-child relationship. Effective communication involves both speaking and listening to what others have to say. Parents of young children can effectively communicate with their children by inquiring about events in their lives and using play activities to strengthen communication. Adolescents can benefit from instructional, yet empathetic, discussions with parents, and they may resist parental communication that is overly authoritarian.Besides, improved communication and quality time spent between you and your child can enhance your relationship. On the contrary, a lack of attention can cause problems, including displays of acting-out behaviors, in the parent-child relationship, says child development assistant specialist Deborah Richardson. Acting out includes the demonstration of disruptive behaviors, such as violence toward others and defiance toward authority.What’s more, parents can use disciplinary strategies that teach their teens how to make wise choices as they become more independent, as opposed to simply utilizing strategies designed to keep teens obey their orders. Adolescence can be a frustrating time for both parents and teens, as parents realize that old disciplinary strategies no longer work, and teens struggle to balance their need for independence alongside parental rules.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What may lead up to a bad parent-child relationship?17. How can parents communicate effectively with their children?18. What’s mentioned about disciplinary strategies?Passage TwoDoes exercise slow the aging process? A study in 2008 found a big difference in the cells of those who enjoyed leisure time exercise compared to those who lounged on the couch in their spare time. The most active people showed a slowing of cell changes associated with aging: their cells appeared the same as sedentary people who were 10 years younger. This adds to the growing body of evidence that regular physical exercise cuts risks for aging-related illnesses such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.The study looked at the lifestyles and cells of 2,401 twins. By studying twins, the researchers knew they were looking at people who had similar genetic factors. They charted physical activity, smoking, socioeconomic status, differences in body mass index, weight, smoking and physical activity at work over the past 12 months. Then they looked within twins’ white blood cells. As people age, those cells get ragged and leads to damageof the genes. Previous research leads scientists to believe that the life of white blood cells gets shorter as people age, and it may be used as a marker for aging.The more active a participant was, the longer the life of white blood cells was when compared to those of a similar age who were less active. This finding stood up when comparing twin to twin when one was more active than the other. And, the active twin had healthier white blood cells, which means being 4 years younger, than their inactive twin.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What does the 2008 study tell us about active people?20. What can be concluded from the process of studying twins?21. What is said of white blood cells?Passage ThreeDo you know what the largest desert is in the world? To be considered a desert, an area must have less than 250 millimeters of annual rainfall. By that criterion, the continent ofAntarctica is the largest desert on Earth. Antarctica is the southernmost continent. At 14.0 million square km, it is the fifth-largest continent in area and the smallest by population. About 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice, which averages 1.6 km. Antarctica is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent. It is considered a desert because its annual rainfall can be less than 51 millimeters in the interior. And there is little or no tall plants on its surface. There are no permanent human residents, but anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 researchers inhabit the research stations scattered across the continent. Only cold-adapted plants and animals survive here: penguins, seals, and so on.If you think that a desert cannot be covered in ice and snow, then the Sahara Desert would be the largest desert. The Sahara is what most people imagine when they think of a desert. It is the world’s largest hot weather desert, covering over9,400,000 square km. It is nearly as large as the United States. Some of the sand hills are 180 meters in height. Unlike Antarctica, the Sahara region is heavily populated. It is home to a number of people and languages. Arabic is the most widely spoken language. The Berber people are found from western Egypt to Morocco and the Beja live in the Red Sea Hills.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What’s said about Antarc tic?23. What’s mentioned about human residents on Antarctic?24. What’s true about the Sahara Desert?25. What’s the major difference between Antarctic and the Sahara Desert?Section CAs a parent, you may realize the crucial importance education has in our lives. However, your child may be 26. reluctant to listen to any of your arguments, thoughts, and ideas. A student 27. disinterested in education will miss college lectures and perform extremely poorly in assessments tests. In the worst cases, students may stop attending the school or college, and sit at home without any 28. concern for their career, education, and life. In order to motivate the students back to their college life and career, parents should first find out the 29. root causes of this lack of motivation.As listed below, there are two of the 30. prominent reasons that can cause students to be demotivated.Firstly, poor self-esteem. Low self-esteem in students forces them to 31. quit challenges and accept the path of least resistance. Even if these students try and complete some tasks, they are clouded by many negative thinking patterns that block the flow of confidence in their 32. personalities.Secondly, lack of love at home. Home is the first school for a kid, and every student expects a lot of support and love from parents. The environment of a home shapes a child’s attitude in the 33. initial years of life. A home where curiosity and education is given importance will 34. definitely motivate students to pursue academic challenges. If the parents are away from their kids, and are unaware of what their kid is doing in the school, then even the child feels neglected and 35. steps back from taking responsibilities and challenges. After all, parents are the biggest motivators.答案1. B2. C3. A4. B5. C6. D7. C8. B9. D 10. A11. C12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C16. A 17. B 18. C19. A 20.D21. C22. C 23. A 24. A 25.

Seven themed tours were recently launched in Hainan province by the local government to provide tourists an alternative to inland Silk Road travel.

2015年大学英语四级阅读理解题及解析

2015年大学英语四级阅读理解题及解析Merchant and passenger ships are generally required to have a life preserver for every person aboard and in many cases, a certain percentage of smaller sizes for children. According to United States requirements, life preservers must design, reversible capable of being quickly adjusted to fit the uninitiated individual, and must be so designed as to support the wearer in the water in an upright or slightly backward position.Sufficient buoyancy(浮力) to support the wearer should be retained by the life preserver after 48 hours in the water, and it should be reliable even after long period of storage. Thus it should be made of materials resistant to sunlight, gasoline, and oils, and it should be not easily set on fire.?The position in which the life preserver will support a person who jumps or falls into the water is most important, as is its tendency to turn the wearer in the water from a face-down position to an upright or slightly backward position, with his face clear of the water, even when the wearer is exhausted or unconscious.The method of adjustment to the body should be simple, and self-evident to uninitiated persons even in the dark under the confused conditions, which follow a disaster. Thus, the life be reversible that it is nearly impossible to get it on wrong. Catches, straps, and ties should be kept to a minimum. In addition, the life preserver must be adjustable to the wide variety of shapes and sizes of wearers, since this greatly affects the position of floating and the self-righting qualities. A suitable life also be comfortable to wear at all times, in and out of the water, not so heavy as to encourage to take it off on shipboard while the ship is in danger, nor so burdensome that it hinders a person in the water whiletrying to swim.1. The passage is mainly about____.A) the uses of life preserversB) the design of life preserversC) the materials for life preserversD) the buoyancy of life preservers2. According to the passage, a life be first of all ____.A) adjustable B) comfortable C) self-evident D) self-righting3. United States Coast Guard does NOT require the life preserver to be made ____.A) with as few strings as possibleB) capable of being worn on both sidesC) according to each wearer's sizeD) comfortable and light to wear4. By “the uninitiated individual” (Para. 1, Line. 4) the author refers to the person ____.A) who has not been instructed how to use a life preserverB) who has a little experience in using a life preserverC) who uses a life preserver without permissionD) who becomes nervous before a disaster5. What would happen if a person were supported by the life preserver in a wrong position?A) The waves would move him backwards.B) The water would choke him.C) He would immediately sink to the bottom.D) He would be exhausted or unconscious.答案与解析：1. B文章主要讲述了救生衣的设计。

2015年12月英语四级阅读答案解析

2015年12月英语四级阅读答案解析2015年12月英语四级阅读答案解析【阅读】选词填空第一篇For manyAmericans, 2013 ended with an unusually bitter cold snap. LateNovember and December saw early snow and bone-chilling temperaturesin much of the country, part of a year when—for the first time intwo decades—record-cold days will likely turn out to haveoutnumbered record-warm ones. But the U.S. was the exception:November was the warmest ever globally, and the provisional dataindicates that 2013 is likely to have been the fourth-hottest yearon record.Enjoy thesnow now, because chances are good that 2014 will be evenhotter—perhaps the hottest year since records have been kept.That’s because,scientists are predicting, 2014 wi ll be an El Niño year.El Niño,Spanish for “the child”, occurs when surface ocean waters in thesouthern Pacific become abnormally warm. So large is the Pacific,covering 30% of the planet’s surface, that the specific energygenerated by its warming is enough to touch off a series of weatherchanges around the world. El Niño are associated with abnormallydry conditions in the Southeast Asia and Australia. They can leadto extreme rain in parts of North and South America, even assouthern Africa experiences dry weather. Marine life may beaffected too: El Niño the rising of the cold, nutrient-rich waterthat supports large fish populations, and the unusually warm oceantemperatures can destroy coral.参考答案36. N. saw 第一空显然缺少谓语，优先考虑动词，结合语义并根据Late November andDecember可以推出应选择过去式动词，故答案锁定saw.37. F. decades 根据two，首选复数名词，结合语义，“for the first time in the two decades”,二十年来头一次。
