大学英语四级改革适用(听力)-试卷286
大学英语四级改革适用（听力）-试卷286(总分：50.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、 Listening Comprehension(总题数：12，分数：50.00)1.Part II Listening Comprehension__________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析：2.Section A__________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析：（分数：4.00）A.It was proposed by a group of senators. √B.The US president had carried out the reform.C.Illegal immigrants would soon be given citizenship.D.The reform failed to improve the current system.解析：解析：新闻开头提到，美国总统表示，对美国移民制度进行检讨的时机已经成熟。
接着说他在拉斯维加斯的一所高中谈到了这一事件，而前一天参议员拟定了(outlined)改革的框架。
由此可知A“移民改革是参议员提出的”正确。
移民改革在奥巴马三年前的计划中有所反映，但did not go far表明并未实施，故B“奥巴马已实施改革”不对。
根据三年前的蓝图，非法移民成为合法永久居民要八年，最终成为公民还须再等五年，C“非法移民很快会获取公民身份”与之不符。
移民改革还未实施，故D“改革没有改善现在的系统”不正确。
A.Eight years.B.Five years.C.Thirteen years. √D.Eleven years.解析：解析：录音最后提到，根据三年前的计划，非法移民成为合法永久居民要八年，最终成为公民还须再等五年，因此一共需要13年。
（分数：4.00）A.15 schools have started social studies.B.15 schools have used digital textbooks.C.Digital textbooks are used for social studies. √D.Students are ready to use electronic resources.解析：解析：录音提到“这个学年，初中和高中社会学科的课本从硬皮纸质课本换成了电子课本”，C正确，选项中的digital是新闻中electronic的同义改写。
A“15所学校已开设社会学科”利用social studies制造干扰。
B“15所学校已使用电子课本”、D“学生已准备好使用电子资源”是去年的事，题目问的是这个学年(this school year)。
A.$1 million.B.$2 million. √C.$3 million.D.$4 million.解析：解析：录音提到“通常买纸质书总共约花费800万美元，而网络课本花费不到600万美元”，所以使用电子课本学校可节省约200万美元，正确答案是B。
（分数：6.00）A.People in Dubai celebrated the New Year.B.Fireworks went on as planned in Dubai.C.Fire broke out in a luxury hotel on New Year's Eve. √D.Thousands of security personnel were on duty in Dubai.解析：解析：新闻开篇首先提到，人们从一家豪华酒店中撤离，之后提到迪拜一家酒店在新年前一晚起火了，之后提到起火的原因和火势，以及人员撤离的情况，故新闻关注的是“酒店起火”，C为答案。
其他三项都有在新闻中提到，但都只是细节内容，不是全篇新闻关注的重点。
A.It broke out at night. √B.It was put out within 30 minutes.C.It burned down the whole building.D.It was caused by the fireworks.解析：解析：新闻中提到，起火时间约在晚上九点半(9：30 p．m．)，故A正确。
新闻中有提到，30分钟火势仍继续，烧到了酒店的塔楼，故B说的“30分钟内被扑灭”不对。
C“把整座酒店烧毁了”没有在新闻中提到，新闻中只是说“酒店的一些燃烧的碎片掉到地面”。
虽然新闻中有提到，起火时在发焰火，但并没有说酒店的火灾是由引起的焰火引起的，D错误。
A.There were not enough security personnel in downtown areaB.Authorities worked in downtown area to keep orders.C.Lots of people were crowded into the downtown area. √D.New Year's events were cut off due to the fire.解析：解析：新闻的最后提到，目击者称，成千上万上在市中心附近聚集(tens of thousands of people were crowded into the downtown area)，C复现原文。
A与新闻末尾所述相反，新闻提到当晚有数千名安保人员在场。
新闻并没有提到“官员亲自到市中心维持秩序”，故B错误。
D“新年活动因大火而终止”与事实相反，新闻说到焰火没因大火而中断，还是按计划放(Fireworks went on as planned)。
3.Section B__________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析：（分数：8.00）A.They are from the same town.B.They both work on the school magazine.C.They are in the same class. √D.They are both teaching assistants.解析：解析：四个选项都是关于They的，从same，both来看，似乎在问他们“一同”、“都”怎么样。
推断题。
根据男士一开始自我介绍时所说的“It's Bill Parker from your calculus class．”可知答案为C。
对话开头常设考点。
A.Because she has to take an exam.B.Because she has swimming practice. √C.Because she has a biology lesson.D.Because she is reading a magazine.解析：解析：男士问女士现在是否有空，女士说几分钟后得进行游泳练习，可见选B。
女士游泳过后得为生物考试复习，并非立马要考试，故排除A；对话没有提到女士要上生物课，C不对；男士说到要开会时提到校园杂志，不是女士在看杂志，D也不对。
A.The woman would like to work on itB.The woman has never heard of it √C.The man dislikes reading it.D.The man first read it last month.解析：解析：推断题。
当男生提到杂志The Signal时，女士反问了一句“The what?”这表明女士对杂志不熟，所以她才道歉，并且解释说自己今年刚转学来这里，由此可推出答案为B。
A、D未提及，C与对话内容相反。
反问处必有玄机。
A.Try to contact the teaching assistant again.B.Go to have a swim.C.Study for a biology exam.D.Go to a meeting. √解析：解析：四个动词原形预示着将提问“干什么”或“为什么”。
细节题，Bill晚饭后将干什么?Sue建议两人晚饭后见面，Bill回答说“Uh，that's bad for me--I have a meeting for The Signal．”据此，选D。
“Uh”语气词出现，后面的内容十分重要。
B、C是女士打算做的事情，均不正确。
在长对话的测试里，细节题是大量存在的，而且不好对付，因为既要考你听懂了没有，还要考你的记忆力，所以要适当做笔记。
（分数：8.00）A.Hurricanes. √ up-date.s of hurricanes.D.Wind velocity.解析：解析：对话开头女士就说到，“这是一张飓风路线图”，之后两人就一直讨论飓风问题，故A正确。
对话提到过几个飓风的名字，也说到风速是区别热带低压(tropical depressions)、暴风(storm)与飓风(hurricane)的指标，最后还提到电视上会有对飓风的最新报道，B、C、D均是一些细节，但它们都不是对话的主题，都不对。
正确答案特征：在对话开头就会提及，往往在对话中多次提到。
A.A storm and a hurricane differ in the time they land.B.A storm and a hurricane differ in the speed wind travels. √C.A hurricane is the least serious.D.A storm is less serious than a depression.解析：解析：对话中女士提到了低气压、暴风和飓风，男士就问“它们有什么区别”，女士说，其区别在风速。
故B正确。
A中的the time they land应改为wind velocity或the speed wind travels；C中的least应改为most，D中的less应改为more。
A.Those people discovered the hurricanes first.B.It's easy to tell hurricanes apart √C.Those people are pop stars.D.Those people are the weather forecasters.解析：解析：男士在问到地图上的人名时，女士解释说：“天气预报工作者给飓风取上人的名字，以便使它们容易区别开来。

One of its founders Steve Pankhurst explained in an email that the platform was still used by “a handful of members” but that it was “no longer used for the purpose it was built for”. Friends Reunited launched in the year 2000 and was bought by broadcaster ITV for ￡175m in 2005. However, it failed to keep pace with other social networks. It was sold to comic publisher DC Thomson for only ￡25m in 2009 and Mr Pankhurst wrote in a blog post that the company had offered it back to him a couple of years ago. Pankhurst and business partner Jason Porter agreed to take on the site for a trial period to see if they could refresh it “It became clear that most of the actual users coming to the site were (4)using it purely as a message board,”wrote Mr. Pankhurst. 3.

But on Thursday, Sears’CEO Eddie Lampert cast blame on the company’s retirees—specifically, pension plan payouts—for draining company coffers.The statements came in a blog post by Lampert in which he outlined that since 2005, Sears has contributed over $4.5 billion to its pension fund.“Had the company been able to employ those billions of dollars in its operations, we would have been in a better position to compete with other large retail companies, many of which don’t have large pension plans, and thus have not been required to allocate billions of dollars to these liabilities,”he wrote.One way Sears has stayed buoyant in recent years: partnerships with Amazon. At the end of August, Sears announced it would expand the pilot program that enables Sears to install and balance automobile tires that consumers purchase through Amazon. The deal seems like a win-win for both retailers, as well as customers. Amazon shoppers who buy tires, including Sears’Die-Hard brand, can ship the tires to a nearby Sears Auto Centre for installation.Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.5.

What’s up?M: I am planning a summer vacation, trying to coordinate schedules with friends and family, but maybe there’s another way, even a better way, to take a vacation.W: What do you mean?M: I mean maybe I should travel alone this time. Nowadays, people are travelling alone in record numbers.W: There are many places that people have longed to go. But I often hear them say they have nobody to go with.M: True. I should travel alone. Last year, my editor sent me to Paris to explore the city by myself. That was the assignment. On my own, thousands of miles from home, I could slow down. I began to really enjoy all of the marvelous, everyday things I miss when talking with or looking after companions.W: Sounds to me so amazing. By travelling alone, we are able to zero in on details because there is no one to distract us, no one to tell us to hurry along, to stop lingering on some shopping centres to buy things you don’t want.M: Definitely. And you have the freedom to pursue your particular interests. You can develop your aesthetic sense at your own pace. You can explore art and design shops, places that may inspire a new hobby or a creative endeavor.W: Alone, we can be reflective, like the day I took myself to a tea ceremony in Tokyo. We can step outside our comfort zone. Alone, we can climb a hill on an autumn afternoon, and consider how we are living our life and how we want to live it in the future- a process that can get inhibited when other people are around.M: Indeed.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.8. What is the man busy with?9. What does the man say about his assignment in Paris?10. Why is travelling alone so beneficial according to the speakers?11.

I read a study days ago which showed that highly creative adults grew up in families where their parents argued more, not only argued more, but argued reasonably in front of their children.W: As a mom, I just thought that was something you’re never supposed to do.M: Well, the more I read about this research, the more I realized that if you never disagree in front of your kids, they think there’s one right answer to everything, whereas if they see you argue, they realize that there might be multiple perspectives on a problem, and they have to learn to think for themselves.W: I see. Are there any rules for this sort of arguing?M: Yes, there are a few rules for good arguing. One is to argue like you’re right, but listen like you’re wrong. Instead of arguing to win, you can argue to learn. And the key is you have to acknowledge when your opponent has made a good point.W: I think most of us are terrible at hearing criticism. Think about what happens to you physically. Your shoulders start to tense. Your body tightens up. Your heart races. And you just feel like you’re being physically attacked.M: Yes. I have advice on this. And it only takes 23 words: “I am giving you these comments because I have very high expectations of you, and I am confident that you can reach them.”It changes the conversation. Instead of saying “this person is about to attack me,”the person receiving the feedback says “this person is trying to help me.”W: Sounds quite enlightening!Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12.

Well, a test can estimate the age of your ticker, as well as revealing how long you can expect to live without having a heart attack or a stroke. But a new update to the 16-question tool offers advice and interventions to help lower the vital organ’s age and keep you alive for longer.Produced by NHS Choices and the British Heart Foundation, the Heart Age Tool asks for information about your age, gender, height and weight. It also seeks to know where you live, whether you’re an active smoker and your ethnicity—all factors that impact the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. The free tool-initially launched last year—also searches for information about your cholesterol levels, blood pressure and whether or not you have any other conditions that increase your risk. It is designed to work on people aged 30 or older who have not already been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. The updated tool comes after new research found four in five people have hearts much older than they are due to a poor lifestyle.In the worst cases, men and women in their mid-40s had hearts typical of 60-year-olds, scientists found. A worrying 89% of men below 40 had unhealthy hearts, compared with just 41% of women, researchers discovered.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16.

The brain disease causes people to slowly lose their memory and mental abilities as they grow old. Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, said he has given $50 million to the Dementia Discovery Fund. The London-based fund aims to bring business and government together to seek treatments for the brain-wasting disease. Another $50 million will go to start-up groups working in Alzheimer’s research, Gates said. The money is a personal donation and not from his charitable organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.“The disease is a huge problem, a growing problem, and the scale of the tragedy—even for the people who stay alive—is very high,”Gates told the Reuters news agency. Despite many years of research, scientists have not found a treatment that can slow the progression of Alzheimer’s. Current drugs can do no more than ease some of the effects. But Gates said he is hopeful that treatments can be found, even if they might still be more than 10 years away. Gates’usual health focus is on helping fight infectious diseases in poorer countries. He said Alzheimer’s became his mission partly for personal reasons, and partly because it has been so difficult to find effectivetreatment. Some men in his family have suffered from Alzheimer’s, he said. In a blog post about the investments, Gates wrote, “I know how awful it is to watch people you love struggle as the disease robs them of their mental capacity. It feels a lot like you’re experiencing a gradual death of the person that you knew.”Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What does the Dementia Discovery Fund aim to do?23. How much did Bill Gates give to start-up groups working in Alzheimer’s research?24. What does the speaker say about the research on Alzheimer’s?25.

大学英语四级改革适用（听力）模拟试卷287(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. Who found the suspicious item at the airport?2. What do we learn about the airport from the news report?1．A．FBI agents.B．TSA agents.C．The police.D．Passengers.正确答案：B解析：根据录音，运输安全管理特工(TSA agent)发现(spot)可疑物，B正确。
录音两次提到FBI(联邦调查局)，一次是FBI发言人说在机场安检处X光扫描时发现Atwater的随身包中有可疑物，另一次提及FBI和TSA都没能确认爆炸物。
录音只提到“可疑物现在警方手中”，也没有提到passenger等字眼，由此排除A、C、D。

新闻中提到，可疑物现在警方手中(in the possession of the police)，所以机场现在并不是处于危险状态，A错误。
新闻还提到机场临时关闭(temporarily closed)候机楼，对机场内部进行全面彻底的搜查(conducted a sweep)，故B“候机楼稍后仍保持开放状态”和C“对机场外部进行了彻底搜查”与新闻内容相反。
