You should write at least 120 words following the outline given bellow:1. 越来越多旳博物馆免费对外开放旳目旳是什么？2. 也会带来某些问题3. 你旳见解？Free admission to museums参照范文Free Admission to Museums（满分版）Nowadays, an increasing number of museums are admission-free to visitors home and abroad. The hidden reason behind this is not hard to analyze as there’s a growing awareness for the authorities regarding the urgency of popularization of culture, knowledge and history with every average person in our society. Only wi th free access to this live ‘database’, can most people fully enjoy what museums could offer to them.However, free admission to museums might lead to some social problems as well. The most obvious problem is that it might give museums a very heavy economic burden which directly impedes the sustainable development of these organizations. As a result, our government has to work out other ways to collect funds from different channels, which might be difficult to operate or control. On the other hand, free admission attracts too many visitors,some of which might not be well-purposed and do some conscious or unconscious damage to the valuable treasures which used to be well-preserved in the museums.As a university student, I am in favor of the free-admission conduct. Yet it is proposed that some measures should be taken to solve the potential problems caused by it. For example, museums can make some regulations to guide the behavior of visitors or set some ‘closed’ days for museums for regular maintenance. Only in this way can free-admission to museums become a long-lasting phenomenon and have sustainable development.改错参照答案：（Ⅰ）1. rest → remaining2. therefore → however3. and → but4. to → for5. companion → company6. times ∧ to → not7. that → which8. low → lower9. the →／10. to → /（Ⅱ）1．that→which2．danger→endanger 3．Although→Since4．hour→an hour5．with→without6．work→working7．can adjust→can not adjust 8．fill→filling9．by→for10．too→either（Ⅲ）1．lowly→low2．likely→alike3．writing→written4．of→from5．of→for6．They→It7．that→those8．contains→在contains前加it9．like→unlike10．if→unlessMan is the soul of the universe.人是万物之灵。

大学英语四级仔细阅读专项强化真题试卷4(题后含答案及解析)

大学英语四级仔细阅读专项强化真题试卷4(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift. It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn’t seem to be a clear generational divide. The public overall is split on whether they’d like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not. The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how transformative the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now—and no one can get one yet—but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly engaged. Actually, this isn’t surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Older adults, especially those with limited mobility or difficulty driving on their own, are one of the classic usecases for driverless cars. This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones. When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are more pronounced based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education: 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less. Where a person lives matters, too. More people who lived in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas. While there’s reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board, a person’s age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become mainstream. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.1．What happens when a new technology emerges?A．It further widens the gap between the old and the young.B．It often leads to innovations in other related fields.C．It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a whole.D．It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.正确答案：D解析：推理判断题。

2023年12月英语四级考试模拟题及答案

Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled “How to Conduct Patriotic Education Among the Youth of Today”. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:1. 我国爱国主义教育旳现实状况;2. 爱国主义教育旳重要意义;3. 怎样在青少年中开展爱国主义教育?Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Work-life balance: Ways to restore harmony and reduce stressFinding work-life balance in today’s frenetically (疯狂) paced world is no simple task.Spend more time at work than at home, and you miss out on a rewarding personal life. Then again, when you face challenges in your personal life, such as caring for an aging parent or coping with marital problems, concentrating on your job can be difficult.Whether the problem is too much focus on work or too little, when your work life andyour personal life feel out of balance, stress — along with its harmful effects — is the result.The good news is that you can take control of your work-life balance — and giveyourself the time to do the things that are most important to you. The first step is to recognize how the world of work has changed. Then you can evaluate your relationship to work and apply some specific strategies for striking a healthier balance.How work invades your personal lifeThere was a time when employees showed up for work Monday through Friday and workedeight- to nine-hour days. The boundaries between work and home were fairly clear then. But the world has changed and, unfortunately, the boundaries have blurred for many workers. Here’s why:●Global economy. As more skilled workers enter the global labor market and companies outsource or move more jobs to reduce labor costs, people feel pressured to work longer and produce more just to protect their jobs.●International business. Work continues around the world 24 hours a day for some people. If you work in an international organization, you might be on call around the clock for troubleshooting or consulting.●Advanced communication technology. Many people now have the ability to work anywhere — from their home, from their car and even on vacation. And some managers expect this.●Longer hours. Employers commonly ask employees to work longer hours than they’re scheduled. Often, overtime is mandatory (强制性旳). If you hope to move up the career ladder, you may find yourself regularly working more than 40 hours a week to achieve and exceed expectations.●Changes in family roles. Today’s marrie d worker is typically part of a dual-career couple, which makes it difficult to find time to meet commitments to family, friends and community.Married to your workIt can be tempting to rack up the hours at work —especially if you’re trying to earna promotion or some extra money for a child’s education or a dream vacation. For others, working more hours feels necessary in order to manage the workload.But if you’re spending most of your time at work, your home life will likely pay the price. Consider the pros and cons of working extra hours on your work-life balance:●Fatigue. Your ability to think and your eye-hand coordination decrease when you’re tired. This means you’re less productive and may make more mistakes. These mistakes canlead to injury or rework and negatively impact your professional reputation.●Family. You may miss out on important events, such as your child’s first bike ride, your father’s 60th birthday or your high-school reunion. Missing out on important milestones may harm relationships with your loved ones.●Friends. Trusted friends are a key part of your support system. But if you’re spending time at the office instead of with them, you’ll find it difficult to nurture those friendships.●Expectations. If you regularly wo rk extra hours, you may be given more responsibility. This could create a never-ending and increasing cycle, causing more concerns and challenges.Sometimes working overtime is important. If you work for a company that requires mandatory overtime, you wo n’t be able to avoid it, but you can learn to manage it. Most importantly, say no when you’re too tired, when it’s affecting your health or when you have crucial family obligations.Striking the best work-life balanceFor most people, juggling (巧妙处理) the demands of career and personal life is an ongoing challenge. With so many demands on your time — from overtime to family obligations — it can feel difficult to strike this balance. The goal is to make time for the activities that are the most important to you.Here are some ideas to help you find the balance that’s best for you:●Learn to say no. Whether it’s a co-worker asking you to spearhead (充当先锋) an extra project or your child’s teacher asking you to manage the class play, remember that it’s OK to respectfully say no. When you quit doing the things you only do out of guilt or a false sense of obligation, you’ll make more room in your life for the activities that are meaningful to you and bring you joy.●Leave work at work. Make a conscious deci sion to separate work time from personal time. When with your family, for instance, turn off your cell phone and put away your laptop computer.●Manage your time. Organize household tasks efficiently. Do one or two loads of laundry every day, rather than saving it all for your day off. A weekly family calendar of important dates and a daily list of to-dos will help you avoid deadline panic. If your employer offersa course in time management, sign up for it.●Get enough sleep. There’s nothing as stressful and potentially dangerous as working when you’re sleep-deprived. Not only is your productivity affected, but also you can make costly mistakes. You may then have to work even more hours to make up for these mistakes.●Communicate clearly. Limit time-consuming misunderstandings by communicating clearly and listening carefully. Take notes if necessary.●Nurture yourself. Set aside time each day for an activity that you enjoy, such as walking, working out or listening to music.●Set aside one night each week for recreation. Take the phone off the hook, power down the computer and turn off the TV. Discover activities you can do with your partner, family or friends, such as playing golf, fishing or canoeing. Making time for activities you enjoy will rejuvenate (使年轻) you.Remember, striking a work-life balance isn’t a one-shot deal. Creating balance in your life is a continuous process. Balance doesn’t mean doing everything. Examine yourpriorities and set boundaries. Be firm in what you can and cannot do. Only you can restore harmony to your lifestyle.1. What will happen if your work life and personal life feel out of balance?A) You will have little time to finish your work.B) You may feel stress, which will affect you negatively.C) You will have a lot of time to share with your family.D) You will never balance the combination of life and work.2. The boundaries between work and home have blurred for the following reasons, EXCEPT _______.A) global economy B) changes in family rolesC) advanced communication technology D) high divorce rate3. What will happen if you’re spending most of your time at work?A) You will lose both health and wealth. B) You will be hated by your loved ones.C) You will lose all your friends. D) You may be given more responsibility.4. According to the passage, you’d better say no to mandatory overtime when_______________.A) you get bored with the work B) you are not interested in the workC) you can’t get additional allowance D) you have crucial fa mily obligations5. What does the underlined sentence mean?A) You should do the things people ask you to do without feeling guilty.B) You shouldn’t do the things people ask you to do if you don’t want to.C) To do things people ask you to do can bring you a lot of joy.D) To do things for yourself is more meaningful than to do things for others.6. What will NOT happen if you don’t get enough sleep?A) You will feel stressed while working. B) You will have no sense of exhaustion.C) You can make costly mistakes. D) You will have low productivity.7. What does the real balance mean according to the author?A) Examining priorities and deciding what is the most important to you.B) Doing everything you want to do whether you can do it or not.C) Saying yes to everybody in order to maintain good relationships.D) Being firm that working overtime will strike a work-life balance.8. Spend more time at work than at home, and you won’t have enough time to enjoy your _______________.9. You have slow responses and your eye-hand coordination decreases when you’re________.10. You can save a lot of time and avoid misunderstandings if you communicate clearly and____________.Part III Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)■ Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 11 to 20 are based on the following passage.Major retailers and car manufacturers have slashed (削减) their marketing budgets in the six months to October, 2023, as the financial crisis has taken its toll, while supermarkets have 11 advertising spending in a battle to prove that they offer the most 12 prices.According to new research undertaken for The Daily Telegraph by Nielsen Media Research, in the six months to September 30, 2023, Marks & Spencer’s advertising spend fell 20.3pc to ￡25.3m, 13 with the same period in 2023.While the retailer has spent heavily on a campaign 14 celebrities in the past two years, it is understood to be cutting back on celebrity spending in 2023. The retailer is, however, still the UK’s 25th largest spender on advertising,15 being at 17th place in the six months to September 30, 2023.Car manufacturers have also significantly 16 back on marketing spending, believed to be a result of the financial crisis. According to Nielsen, Ford spent ￡26.6m in the six months to September 30, 2023, down 21pc from the same period last year. Vauxhall also 17 spending by 15.6pc in the period to ￡26.5m.For supermarkets, however, a significant increase in advertising spending, it appears,is a 18 as they seek to woo (追求) increasingly price- 19 customers. The leading supermarkets have 20 an aggressive price war in the past six months as consumers have been faced with news of higher food prices.A) conscientious I) necessityB) conscious J) contributionC) against K) reducedD) despite L) moreoverE) comparing M) scaledF) compared N) competitiveG) launched O) featuringH) boosted■ Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.There are more than 2,000 different kinds of mosquitoes. Female mosquitoes bite people to drink their blood. Male mosquitoes do not drink blood. They drink fluids from plants. Thefemale mosquito uses its thin sucking tube to break the skin, find blood and inject the victim with a substance that keeps blood flowing.The female mosquito drinks the blood and uses it to produce as many as 250 eggs. The insect leaves the eggs in any standing water.The eggs produce worm-like creatures called larvae (幼虫) in two days to a few months. However, some eggs can stay in water for years until conditions are right for development. The larvae feed on organisms in the water. After four to ten days, they change again, into creatures called pupas (蛹). The pupas rise to the surface of the water. Adult mosquitoes pull themselves out of the pupas and fly away.The World Health Organization (WHO) says mosquitoes carry organisms that cause disease and death for millions of people throughout the world. The most important disease spread by mosquitoes is malaria (疟疾). The WHO says 247 million people became infected with malaria in 2023. Malaria caused almost one million deaths, mostly among children in Africa. The disease is found in more than one hundred countries in Africa, Asia, the western Pacific Ocean, the Middle East and Central and South America.Malaria parasites (寄生虫) enter a person’s blood through a mosquito bite. These organisms travel to the liver. They grow and divide there. After a week or two, the parasites invade red blood cells and reproduce thousands of times. They cause the person’s body temperature to rise. They also may destroy major organs. People with malaria may suffer kidney failure or loss of red blood cells.Some medicines are generally effective in preventing and treating malaria. They are designed to prevent the parasites from developing in the body. People die from malaria because they are not treated for the disease or the treatment is delayed.21. According to the passage, we can infer that _________.A) female mosquitoes don’t bite animalsB) female mosquitoes bite people for a substance that keeps blood flowingC) malaria is found everywhere in the worldD) countries in Europe and North America have low malaria death rate22. What is the right order in which mosquitoes grow?a. Adult mosquitoes pull themselves out of the pupas and fly away.b. The larvae change into creatures called pupas.c. The insect leaves the eggs in any standing water.d. The eggs produce worm-like creatures called larvae.A) c, a, b, d B) d, c, b, a C) c, d, b, a D) d, b, c, a23. According to the WHO, the organisms carried by mosquitoes __________.A) are the food for larvaeB) have led to the death of millions of people in the worldC) invade red blood cells first and then destroy major organsD) can enter a person’s brain through the mosquito’s bite24. According to the passage, malaria medicines are generally designed to _______.A) keep people’s bo dy temperature at a normal levelB) prevent parasites from entering people’s skinsC) stop parasites from growing inside the bodyD) stop parasites from invading red blood cells25. What is the passage mainly talking about?A) The growing process of mosquitoes and the diseases spread by them.B) The medicines used in preventing and treating malaria.C) The kinds of mosquitoes in the world today.D) The larvae of mosquitoes feed on organisms in the water.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Conservationists call them hot spots — habitats that cover just 1.4 percent of the earth’s land surface but are so rich in biological diversity that preserving them could keep an astonishing number of plant and animal species off the endangered list.Since 1988, when Dr. Norman Myers and his colleagues began describing these hot spots in a series of scientific papers and arguing for their protection, they have become a focus of worldwide conservation efforts. Private organizations and government agencies, including the World Bank, have made preserving 25 such ecological arks a top priority for financing and protective legislation. But a growing chorus of scientists is warning that directing conservation funds to hot spots may be a recipe for major losses in the future. Of species that live on land, nearly half of all plants and more than a third of all animals are found only in the hot spots. But they do not include many rare species and major animal groupsthat live in l ess biologically rich regions (“cold spots”). And the hot-spot concept does not factor in the importance of some ecosystems to human beings, the scientists argue.This debate has been simmering quietly among biologists for years; however, it is coming to a boil now with the publication of an article in the current issue of American Scientist arguing that “calls to direct conservation funding to the world’s biodiversity hot spots may be bad investment advice.” “The hot-spot concept has grown so popular in recent years within the larger conservation community that it now risks eclipsing all other approaches,” write the authors of the paper. “The officers and directors of all too many foundations, non-governmental organizations and international agencies have been seduced by thesimplicity of the hot spot idea,” they go on. “We worry that the initially appealing idea of getting the most species per unit area is, in fact, a thoroughly misleading strategy.”But hot spots have their ardent defenders, notably Dr. Norman Myers and Dr. Russell Mittermeier. Dr. Myers says hot spots have been successful at attracting attention and financing for conservation in tropical countries. “And that has been good,” he said. “No one is suggesting that one invest solely in hot spots, but if you want to avoid extinctions, you have to invest in them.”26. The best title for this passage would be ________.A) A Debate on Preserving Hot Spots B) An Introduction to Hot SpotsC) Hot Spots vs. Cold Spots D) How to Finance Hot Spots27. Hot spots occupy a small percentage of the earth’s land surface with _____________.A) a third of all plants B) many major animal groups living in cold spotsC) rich biological diversity D) many rare species living in cold spots28. Critics of hot spots hold the opinion that ________.A) hot spots are always as important as cold spotsB) it is unwise to invest largely in hot spotsC) governments should choose the best time to invest in hot spotsD) the hot-spot approach is a misleading strategy from the very beginning29. According to Dr. Norman Myers, _________.A) protecting and investing in hot spots can save species from extinctionB) conservation efforts should not center on hot spotsC) governments should invest most in cold spotsD) the hot-spot approach now is not as good as it was in the past30. What is the writer’s attitude towards the hot-spot approach?A) Critical. B) Neutral. C) Supportive. D) Doubtful.Part IV Cloze (15 minutes)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.Two million years ago, just as the Earth’s primitive apemen were evolving into big-brained humans, a pair of supernovae explosions occurred near Earth. Our planet was buffeted (冲击) with blasts of radiation —with 31 effects. “These supernovae would 32 away our protective ozone layer,” said Dr Narciso Benitez of Johns Hopkins University. Earth lostits protection 33 ultraviolet light. All sorts of mutational (突变) damage to animals’ DNAwould have occurred. New species could have emerged 34 . It is possible that Homo sapiens (智人) may have been one of these.The likely 35 of a supernova’s radiation led scient ists in the past 36 that one may have affected 37 on Earth. Benitez now believes that 38 two supernovae occurred near Earth two million years ago: The first would have blasted space free 39 interstellar particles; and the second would have struck Earth at full force, 40 its ozone layer.Observations of space around our Sun have revealed that, 41 the rest of the galaxy, space near us has little interstellar gas in it. “ 42 it is missing much of its dust and gas —just as if a supernova 43 it out,” added Maíz-Apellániz. 44 , our tiny corner of the galaxy appears to have been swept clean by a supernova brush about two million years ago; and intriguingly, at just this time, a set of extinctions — known as the Pliocene (上新世) / Pleistocene (更新世) extinctions — is also known 45 .It was also around this time that mankind’s direct ancestor, Homo erectus, the species 46 to be the first true human being, appeared in Africa and Asia after 47 more primitiveape-like creatures. These beings may have been some of the lucky few who were able to 48 advantage of conditions in these hazardous, radioactive 49 . This triumph only occurred thanks to this celestial (上天旳) 50 , however.31. A) devastate B) devastating C) devastated D) devastation32. A) blow B) have blown C) blew D) be blowing34.

According to some official reports, many patriotic education centers have been closed down or kept open to the public for other more profitable purposes, while many of our national heroes have given way to today’s pop stars in youth’s minds. If this current is allowed to run its course, I am afraid, things are bound to turn for the worse, with less and less sense of patriotism left in the youth.The significance of patriotic education to our society can be seen from the following perspectives: Patriotic education can make youth more aware of the glorious history and culture of our nation, thus building up their sense of pride as Chinese. Furthermore, patriotic education helps youth value today’s hard-earned life so as to hold dearer their golden chances of enriching themselves with knowledge in peace.So the most pressing issue for us now is how to effectively instill patriotism in the youth of today. In my opinion, the first step should be focused upon giving fuller play to the potential of patriotic education centers instead of running them for the purpose of making money. Then, greater efforts must be made to integrate patriotic education into the curriculums throughout a student’s education. In short, where there is effective patriotic education of youth, there is a greater enhancement of national cohesion.Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)1. B)。

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read thepassage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identifiedby a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2with asingle line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.Exercising for just 10 minutes a week is linked to a longer life, according to a new study published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine.Several recent studies have found that even low-intensity exercise, done for a short amount of time, can have a meaningful 26 on health. Still, the idea that exercising for just 10 minutes a week may be enough to increase your lifespan is novel. It’s also somewhat 27 , since the federal physical activity guidelines recommend getting at least 75 minutes of vigorous exercise or 150 minutes of 28 exercise each week.The study was based on data from more than 88,000 U.S. adults who 29 in the National Health Interview Survey between 1997 and 2008.Contrary to some research that has found an 30 limit to the amount of exercise that is healthy, the researchers found that there was 31 no limit to the longevity (长寿) benefits of exercise. Even the small group of people who got 10 times the amount of exercise recommended by the federal government had a 46% lower 32 of death than the least active group.Still, observational studies like this one cannot prove cause and effect; they can only find 33 . The researchers also were not able to 34 for certain lifestyle factors that could affect lifespan, including dietary habits and changes in physical activity over time. Despite these 35 , the study’s results are yet another indication of the power of physical activity, even in small amounts.Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Eachstatement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph fromwhich the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Eachparagraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letteron Answer Sheet 2.How Climate Change Will Affect What You EatA) Earlier this year, scientists warmed that one in six animal species could go extinct (灭绝的) due toclimate change. Could the same thing happen to our crops and other foodstuffs too?B) It’s clear that farmers in many parts of the world are going to find things harder in the comingdecades. Last week, BBC Future explored one scientist’s efforts to help crops cope with the increased probability of droughts. By using the genes from resurrection (复活) plants, Jill Farrant of the University of Cape Town is exploring whether she can design crops to survive for much longer periods without water.C) But if we can’t find ways to protect other foods, will they survive climate change? Fortunately, thereis some good news on this front. Despite alarmist headlines about “foods that are going extinct,” there is no evidence that major food types like beans, chocolate, wine, corn or wheat will cease to exist.D) But that doesn’t mean it’s all good news for future food. We will probably have to change where wegrow certain crops, as some regions get too hot. The disadvantage, obviously, is that local farmers will suffer under this situation. And some people may struggle to get the same access to certain foods. “Even if overall food production may be unaffected, food security can still be impacted,” says Margaret Walsh, a scientist at the US Department of Agriculture’s Climate Change Program Office. In other words, even if a certain food is still grown on some corner of the Earth, it doesn’t mean that everyone will continue to have the same degree of access as today.E) Overall, the yields of many foods, from staples to life-enhancing extras such as coffee and chocolate,will likely be impacted by climate change too. How those decreases will be felt will depend on the degree of warming and the crop in question, but in general, “anything over about 30°C is very bad for crops,” says Wolfram Schlenker, an associate professor of international and public affairs at Columbia University. For example, statistical studies that he and a colleague built of corn and soybean (大豆) production in the US show a steep decline after crossing the 30°C temperature threshold (临界点).F) In the US —the world’s largest producer of corn and soybeans—farms can move north to somedegree, Schlenker says. But eventually, yields will likely suffer because the soil north ofIowadeclines in quality-a legacy of glacial (冰川的) expansion. Other studies, including studies of wheat in India and corm in Africa, also found that there is a threshold above which yields sharply decline: crops can adapt and move, but only to a point. “What’s common to all studies is the finding that extreme heat is damaging to crop growth, although exact cutoffs vary by crop,” Schlenker says. “If predictions for the end of the century are true, though, I think a lot of agricultural areas in the US will see significant hits.”G) Under current conditions, about 4% of the world’s croplands experience drought in any given year,but by the end of the century those conditions are forecasted to jump to about 18% per year. Some studies indicate that horticulture crops—generally, everything besides staples—may be impacted most severely, largely because they tend to be confined to a smaller geographic area. Researcher Andrew Jarvis and his colleagues found that 80% of coffee-growing zones in Central America and Brazil could become unsuitable by 2050, for example, while climate change will likely have “great impacts” on cocoa (可可粉) production in West Africa. “High quality chocolate will be less available in the future, and if you want it, you’ll have to pay a lot more for it,” Jarvis says.H) This means that for those who can afford it, some foods will simply cost them more in the future. Butfor poorer people, those same price jumps will likely cause certain foods to go extinct from their diets.“The more you reduce, the shorter the supply, and the higher the price will jump,” Schlenker says.I) Another potential climate change induced problem is our dependence on commodity crops—wheat,soybeans, corn and rice—which currently provide humanity with 75% of its calories, either directly or indirectly through the animals we raise on those crops. Jarvis and his colleagues also found that, over the past five decades, the world has seen an increasing standardisation of diets; the foods we eat globally today are 36% more similar than they were in 1961. While this can be good news for the world’s poorest people who now consume more calories, protein and fat than in the past, homogeneity (同一性) and over-dependence on a handful of staples leaves us vulnerable to threats such as drought, disease and pests- all of which are predicted to worsen in many parts of the world asa result of climate change.J) There are ways we could soften the coming blow to the global food supply, however. Like Farrant’s work with resurrection crops, a number of companies, organisations and researchers are aiming to create drought-and temperature-resistant crops through genetic engineering and conventional breeding. For now, the jury is still out as to how successful those endeavours will be. “The people at Monsanto who I’ve talked to are much more optimistic that they’ll be able to engineer heat-tolerant crops,” Schlenker says. “On the other hand, scientists at the USDA who I’ve spoken with are much more cautious.”K) Until genetic engineering comes to fruition, other strategies might also help in some places, including applying more fertiliser, implementing better irrigation, using machinery that gets crops out of the field faster or installing storage facilities to delay spoilage. “Many places could benefit a great deal just by using technologies that already exist,” Walsh says. “General farm management can go a long way toward easing changes.”L) Finally, diversifying our diet away from heat-sensitive wheat, corn, rice and other crops could also help. “We’ve seen profound changes in the last decades in what we eat largely as a result of international trade, and I think that trend toward more diversification will continue,” Jarvis says.“Depending on a greater number of plant species creates a more vigorous and less risky food system—and one that provides a broader range of nutritional requirements.”36. O ne consequence of climate change is that some people may not have adequate access to certainfoods.37. P eople around the world are eating foods more similar than what they used to eat.38. A recent news report talked about scientific efforts to help crops survive droughts through geneticengineering.39. I t is predicted that climate change will affect the availability and price of quality chocolate.40. P eople wonder if certain crops and foodstuffs could disappear like some animal species due toclimate change.41. A lthough farms in the US can move a bit northward, crop yields may decrease.42. O ne possible solution to the food security problem is diversification of diet.43. I t remains unsettled whether the global food supply problem can be solved by creating heat-tolerantcrops through genetic engineering.44. P oor people may have to give up eating certain foods because of their high prices.45. A number of existing farming technologies could be used to reduce the negative effect of climatechange on food production.Section CDirections: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). Youshould decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 witha single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.One of my bad habits is saying “busy” when people ask me how I’m doing. Sometimes it’s because I actually am busy, but other times it’s because that’s what I think I’m supposed to say. That’s what important people say. That’s what people who get promoted say. But working long hours doesn’t drive better results. Never taking a vacation won’t lead to a promotion. So why are we so proud to talk about how busy we are all the time?In 2016, researchers from Columbia, Harvard, and Georgetown conducted a study to figure it out. They found busy people are perceived to be of high status, and interestingly, these status attributions are heavily influenced by our own beliefs about social mobility. In other words, the more we believe that one has the opportunity for success based on hard work, the more we tend to think that people who skip leisure and work all the time are of higher standing.That’s why we feel like we have to appear busy, and there’s a real perception that if someone is knee-deep in meetings, emails, and stress, then they’re probably a big deal. This culture of busyness is making it hard for employees to find work-life balance. According to a recent study, one in five highly engaged employees is at risk of burnout (精疲力竭).Personally, I’m going to stop saying “busy” when people ask me how 1 am. It sounds self-righteous (自以为是的) and sets the wrong tone. Phrases like “I have limited access to email” and “I’ll respond as soon as I get back” sound like you’re being held against your will from working as opposed to making the most of your time off.That’s why we recently launched the Out of Office Email Generator, a free tool you can use before your next long weekend or trip. You can share loud and proud that you won’t be checking email until you’re back. Managers need to think twice about emailing their teams on the weekend and talking abouthow busy they are. Leaders should take time off themselves and encourage employees to do the same.46. What is a reason for the author to be in the habit of saying “busy” when asked how he is doing?A. He just follows successful people’s example.B. He is actually proud to be fully occupied.C. He thinks everyone should be devoted to work.D. He believes busyness ensures accomplishments.47. Why do we tend to think that busy people are of high status?A. Our status can be attributed to our social mobility.B. We hold the belief that hard work leads to success.C. Our own opportunity for success never comes easily.D. We find few people of high status have time for leisure.48. What do we learn about the culture of busyness from a recent study?A. It places employees in endless meetings, emails and stress.B. It compels some 20% of employees to appear always busy.C. It distorts many employees’ belief of what a satisfying life is.D. It does much harm to many busy employees’ well-being.49. What do such utterances as “I have limited access to email” sound like according to the author?A. One is too busy to check all emails in time.B. One is opposed to the prevailing work culture.C. One is forced by circumstances to stop working.D. One is simply enjoying their time off work.50. Why did the author and his colleagues launch the Out of office Email Generator?A. To enable busy employees to spend less time checking emails.B. To ensure employees as well as employers truly have time off.C. To stop managers from talking about how busy their teams usually are.D. To encourage both employers and employees to answer emails promptly.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Female employees consistently pay lower airfares than men do for the same flights because they tend to book earlier.We compared the airfare paid by employees in the same position within a company for the same class of travel and used a common statistical technique to account for other factors that might affect differences in airfares. We found that women paid on average $18 less per ticket than their male colleagues. Further investigation allowed us to conclude that this gap is largely explained by the fact that women tended to book earlier than men, 1.8 days on average.We wanted to determine what was causing these gender differences in booking business trips so we tested a variety of possible explanations, such as women choosing to plan ahead or male frequent travelers being inclined to book late. None of these explained away the gender gap, so we applied data collected from surveys that express consumer preferences that play a central role in economic decisions, such as patience and risk avoidance.We found that only the concept of “negative reciprocity”—in which an employee who feels unfairly treated engages in negative behaviors, such as spending their company’s money less carefully—explains these differences. The surveys showed men tend to exhibit more of these negative behaviors than women. This isn’t to say that all men engage in these behaviors—or that booking relatively late is a sign of abnormal behavior. It only means that the gender gap disappears when we plug in the negative reciprocityvariable.Prior research on negative reciprocity among workers found that it can result in lower employee motivation, business performance and workplace morale (士气) and culture.Our results show another way these negative behaviors can manifest themselves, like in airline bookings, and add to evidence that women are less likely to engage in them.Companies spend significant sums of money on business travel. While that $18 difference per ticket may seem small, it adds up. Our analysis suggests early booking by women can translate into savings of $1 million a year for a large multinational company with 20,000 regular travelers.51. What did the author’s team conclude about the gender difference in airfares from their furtherinvestigation?A. It is largely attributed to women booking earlier than men.B. It is largely explained by women’s choosing cheaper fights.C. It is mainly accounted for by male employees’ readiness to pay more.D. It is due to the fact that women care more about their company’s money.52. What did the researchers want to determine by testing a variety of possible explanations?A. What made male frequent travelers book air tickets late.B. What caused women to plan ahead in booking business trips.C. What motivated women to book cheaper flights.D. What accounted for the gender gap in airfares.53. What happened when the negative reciprocity variable was taken into account?A. Both men and women were found to engage in negative behaviors.B. Neither men nor women viewed booking late as a bad behavior.C. The gender difference in airfare expenses no longer existed.D. The gender gap tended to narrow to a significant degree.54. What did prior research on negative reciprocity among workers find?A. It can do more harm to the workplace than to employees.B. It contributes to the male-female divide in the workplace.C. It proves to be counterproductive in a number of ways.D. It can result in increasing labor-management conflicts.55. What does the author emphasize about their analysis in the last paragraph?A. It can help companies increase their savings significantly.B. It can duly contribute to companies’ business performance.C. It can translate women’s booking practice into men’s behavior.D. It can enhance large multinational companies’ competitiveness.Part IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.中国政府十分重视人民的健康饮食(diet)。

Today I want to share my experience with the 2023 December CET-4 exam. It was my first time taking the CET-4 exam, and I was really nervous but also excited to see how well I could do.The exam had four parts: listening, reading, writing, and translation. The listening part was the first one, and it was a bit tricky because the speakers talked really fast! But I tried my best to focus and answer the questions. The reading part was next, and it had a lot of passages to read and questions to answer. Some of the questions were pretty tough, but I used the strategies I learned in class to help me find the answers.After the reading part, I had to do the writing section. I had to write an essay about my favorite book and why I liked it. I chose to write about Harry Potter because it's one of my favorites. I talked about the characters, the magic, and theadventures they go on. I had to make sure my grammar and spelling were correct, so I double-checked everything before I finished.The last part of the exam was the translation part. I had to translate some English sentences into Chinese. This part was challenging because I had to think quickly and remember all the vocabulary and grammar rules I had studied. But I tried my best and finished every question.Finally, the exam was over, and I felt relieved but also proud of myself for completing it. I don't know how well I did yet, but I know that I worked hard and did my best. I hope I pass and can move on to the next level of English learning!In conclusion, the 2023 December CET-4 exam was a tough challenge, but I believe that with hard work and practice, anyone can succeed. I'm grateful for the opportunity to take the exam and test my English skills. I can't wait to see how I did and continue to improve my English in the future. Thank you for reading my experience!篇8Oh my gosh, guess what guys? I just took the College English Test Level 4 in December 2023, and let me tell you, it was a roller coaster of a ride!The first part of the test was the listening section, and oh boy, was it tricky! They played these recordings of people speaking in different accents, and I swear I could barely understand a word they were saying. But I did my best to concentrate and answer the questions, so fingers crossed I did okay on that part.Next up was the reading section, and let me tell you, those passages were no joke. They were all about super boring stuff like economics and history, and I had to really pay attention to the details to answer the questions. But hey, at least I learned a little something new, right?Then came the writing section, and oh man, that was probably the most stressful part of the whole test. They gave us these crazy prompts like "Is technology making us lazy?" and we had to write a whole essay about it. I just hoped my grammar and vocabulary were on point because there was no turning back once I started writing.Finally, the speaking section rolled around, and I gotta say, that was actually kind of fun! I had to talk about my favorite hobby and why I love it, and it was cool to just chat aboutsomething I'm passionate about. Plus, the examiners were super nice and encouraging, so that helped calm my nerves.Overall, I think I did pretty okay on the test. I definitely struggled in some parts, but I gave it my all and that's all that matters, right? Now all I can do is wait for the results and keep my fingers crossed that I passed. Fingers crossed for me, guys!篇9Hey guys! So, today I want to talk about the 2023 December CET-4 exam. I know it sounds super boring, but trust me, it's actually pretty important. You see, passing this exam can help you graduate from college and even open up more job opportunities in the future!The exam had four parts: listening, reading, writing, and translation. The listening part was really tough this time, there were lots of fast speakers and tricky questions. But if you practiced listening to English songs or watching English movies, it would have been easier for you.The reading part was all about reading comprehension. There were passages about different topics like history, science, and even social issues. The key was to read carefully and understand the main ideas of each passage. Don't worry if youdidn't know every single word, just focus on getting the main points.Now, let's talk about the writing part. This was my favorite because I love writing stories and essays. The topics were pretty interesting this time, like "should college students be allowed to have part-time jobs" or "how to reduce plastic waste". I'm sure you all did great on this part!Last but not least, the translation part. This was always the trickiest for me because translating between English and Chinese can be tough sometimes. But if you practiced translating different kinds of sentences or passages, you would have been just fine.Overall, I think the exam was challenging but manageable if you prepared well. Remember, practice makes perfect! So keep studying hard and I'm sure you'll ace the next CET-4 exam! Good luck, everyone!篇10Oh my gosh, guess what? I just took the big University English Level 4 test in December 2023! It was sooo exciting and a little bit scary too, but I think I did pretty well! Let me tell you all about it.First off, the test had a bunch of different parts. There were listening, reading, writing, and speaking sections. The listening part was tricky because they played recordings really fast and I had to listen super carefully to answer the questions. But I think I got most of them right!The reading part was okay, but some of the passages were really long and had a lot of big words. I had to read them over and over to make sure I understood everything. The questions were tricky too, but I tried my best to answer them.The writing part was my favorite because I got to write a whole essay! I wrote about my favorite holiday and why it's special to me. I made sure to use lots of good vocabulary and sentence structures. I also checked my grammar and spelling before I finished.Finally, the speaking part was the scariest for me. I had to talk to a teacher for a few minutes about a topic they gave me. I was so nervous, but I tried to speak clearly and use good English.I think I did okay, but it was really hard to think of things to say!Overall, the test was tough, but I had a lot of fun. I hope I passed and can move on to the next level. English is so important, and I want to keep improving my skills. I can't wait to see my score and find out how I did! Wish me luck!。

Some people are already concerned about the implications of internet-connected microphones listening in every room and from every smartphone.Not all audio is sent to the cloud—devices wait for a trigger phrase(“Alexa”,“OK,Google”,“Hey,Cortana”,or“Hey,Siri”)before they start relaying the user’s voice to the servers that actually handle the requests—but when it comes to storing audio,it is unclear who keeps what and when.[I]Police investigating a murder in Arkansas,which may have been overheard by an Amazon Echo,have asked the company for access to any audio that might have been captured.Amazon has refused to co-operate, arguing(with the backing of privacy advocates)that the legal status of such requests is unclear.The situation is analogous(相似)to Apple’s refusal in2016to help FBI investigators unlock a terrorist’s iPhone;both cases highlight the need for rules that specify when and what intrusions into personal privacy are justified in the interests of security.[J]Consumers will adopt voice computing even if such issues remain unresolved.In many situations voice is far more convenient and natural than any other means of communication.Uniquely,it can also be used while doing something else(driving,working out or walking down the street).It can extend the power of computing to people unable,for one reason or another,to use screens and keyboards.And it could have a dramatic impact not just on computing,but on the use of language puterized simultaneous translation could render the need to speak a foreign language irrelevant for many people;and in a world where machines can talk,minor languages may be more likely to survive.The arrival of the touchscreen was the last big shift in the way humans interact with computers.The leap to speech matters more.36.Despite the issue of invasion of privacy,voice-computing’s irresistible convenience is already receivingwide adoption.37.Conventional forms of input and output will not be entirely replaced by voice command.38.Deep learning revolutionizes speech technologies,enabling computers to process any natural language.39.Screens and keyboards of computers are not necessarily indispensable because of the invention of voicecomputing.40.Deep learning has real successes,but is not enough to understand the meaning of language.41.The convenience brought by voice computing can come at a risk of privacy or security.ws that apply to privacy and security issues for voice technology are needed in light of the two cases inAmerica.43.Despite its simple appearance,voice is capable of changing computing,by bypassing the physical realm.44.Thanks to voice computing,several devices such as smartphones have already done some tasks by voiceorders.45.To fully explore the potential of voice technology,more things need to be done to tackle the gaps betweenconvenience and privacy.Section CDirections:There are2passages 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 Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.Police officers may hope that their presence in schools will help them build strong relationships with students, improving police-community relations over the long term.But achieving that goal may require rethinking law enforcement’s role in education,a new report suggests.Looking at federal data from the2012-2014school year,researchers at Education Week found that students in schools with at least one school resource officer(STO)were1.5times likely to be arrested than their peers in schools that did not have a police presence.The disparity is particularly stark for black students,possibly because police presence is concentrated in districts with a higher proportion of minority students.Black buys were three times more likely to be arrested at school than white boys,the report found.Rather than building relationships and improving outcomes,students who are arrested or referred to law enforcement can see a drop in school performance and are disproportionately more likely to get involved with the law again as adults,researchers say.Racial bias means that outcomes are particularly poor in communities of color.Spurred by rising fears of violent crime during the1980s and1990s,some schools began turning to police to increase safety on campus.With federal funding,their presence only grew.Following tragedies like the school shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado,an increasing number of parents called for security measures like metal detectors and armed officers.By2013-2014,44,000“school resource officers”worked in schools on a full-or part-time basis.In some cases,hiring these officers has resulted in an impressive drop in incidents.But the national picture is less positive.Particularly in schools with a high proportion of minorities,the SROs are overused,taking on disciplinary functions that classroom teachers have traditionally performed,experts say.Arresting students,rather than having a classroom teacher discipline them,brings financial and emotional costs.An American Civil Liberties Union report found that arrested students were twice as likely to drop out of high school—and for those who appeared in court,that figure doubled.Compounding the problem,the cost of employing school resource officers means many schools with a police presence are less likely to have school counselors who can keep an eye on the psychological and developmental effects of arrests on children,Education Week reported.Detaining students also drains the budget of money that could be used to educate them.So how can police officers help ensure safety without becoming disciplinarians(纪律严明者)who grease the school-to-prison pipeline?Training is key,National Association of School Resource Officers executive director Mo Canady told Education Week.SROs should see themselves not only as members of law enforcement,but also embrace their role as educators on issues like drug prevention and as informal counselors for students,Mr.Canady said.46.The federal data quoted in Paragraph Two indicate that_____.A)schools in minority district are in need of SROsB)police officers tend to arrest minority studentsC)the existence of SROs intensified campus violenceD)the SROs may have failed to function as expected47.What may be the negative effect of deploying SROs?A)It exerted more law enforcement than necessary.B)It disturbed the normal teaching practices.C)It posed risks to students’psychological health.D)It frustrated the enthusiasm of faculty members.48.What does the author think of the measure of employing SRO?A)Its real effect remains to be seen.B)It should be vigorously promoted.C)There’s still room for improvement.D)It causes more harm than good.49.What does“grease the school-to-prison pipeline”(Line2,Para.8)most probably mean?A)To effectively prevent juvenile crime.B)To lead more students to be arrested.C)To help ensure the safety on campus.D)To tighten the school-to-prison link.50.In the last paragraph,the author advises the SROs to______.A)work harder to ensure school safety B)reinforce their roles as disciplinariansC)adjust their function in education D)care more about students’mental healthPassage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.Clear Macro CEO Mike Simcock,who has25years of professional asset management experience,says he started the company to help investment managers that were drowning in a deluge of data.There has been a massive explosion in data sources,many offering the prospect of more timely information and more impactful signals.But the big data revolution is actually compounding a problem that was already there, says Simcock.Advancements in technology are making analytical processes accessible beyond the world of hedge funds（对冲基金）and CTAs(交易顾问)；things like back testing tools and ways of aggregating information and visualizing information in a really efficient way.Clear Macro is building a“Wikipedia of investment strategies”.It applies strategic,tactical and systematic asset allocation strategies,alongside a combination of select data sets providing real time macro insights,from text media and now-casting to cross border central bank liquidity statistics.Simcock suggests a less is more approach to data.“We are not scraping the internet for data.We are doing aggregation in the sense that we are sourcing what we call best quality data sets for the categories of information that we think decision makers care about holistically,as well as tools to back test and gain conviction over what works and what doesn’t.“He said big data sets within the hedge fund space tend to be really focused on tactical, higher frequency,shorter term decision making,such as trying to gain an edge on payrolls or the next move in inflation,or company results.The industry is very quickly going to move much further toward data driven automated research and investible strategies.“Funds or products that are essentially driven more and more by rules,and can be delivered in different ways,whether it’s an ETF structure or simply connecting to interactive brokers.”Suddenly all sorts of owners of data are realizing the power of their data sets.“We are completely unaware of whether we use traditional data or new data.If we can demonstrate it adds some value then that can justify paying for it.”Data does not come cheap:all sorts of entities are offering to sell their data,from anywhere between￡25K and￡250K,and upward.“The value of data is in the eyes of the beholder,”said Simcock.“Typically I think the way that data sales work is that everything is up for negotiation,”he said.“Some of the things we are finding is a lot of the classic data sets are delivering better performance when you build them into strategies.The message I would give to someone asking how should I deal with this landscape—embrace technologies that can make your job easier and take your time.”51.It is indicated in the first two paragraphs that_____.A)Simcock himself is an investment consultantB)Simcock’s company offers timely messageC)it’s hard to make a selection in data explosionD)high-tech provides ne analytic tools for CTAs52.What can we learn about the“Wikipedia of investment strategies”?A)It makes investment suggestions.B)It sorts and analyzes timely data.C)It provides macro data reports.D)It predicts the statistics of banks.53.According to Simcock,the key to an efficient process with the data is_____.A)aggregation B)allocation C)combination D)simplification54.What opinion does Simcock express in the last paragraph?A)The price of data may soar up in the future.B)Any kind of data can be sold out nowadays.C)Classic data can provide better information.D)It’s worth time to get adapted to new tech.55.What can be the best title of this passage?A)How to Avoid Drowning in Data C)How to Apply Investment StrategiesB)How to Respond to Data Explosion D)How to a Systematic Data SetPartⅣTranslation(30minutes)Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish.You should write
