洛基英语，中国在线英语教育领导品牌一、快速阅读If it weren’t for nicotine, people wouldn’t smoke tobacco. Why? Because of the more than 4000 chemicals in tobacco smoke, nicotine is the primary one that acts on the brain, altering people’s moods, appetites and alertness in ways they find pleasant and beneficial. Unfortunately, as it is widely known, nicotine has a dark side: it is highly addictive. Once smokers become hooked on it, they must get their fix of it regularly, sometimes several dozen times a day. Cigarette smoke contains 43 known carcinogens, which means that long-term smoking can amount to a death sentence. In the US alone, 420,000 Americans die every year from tobacco-related illnesses.Breaking nicotine addiction is not easy. Each year, nearly 35 million people make a concerted effort to quit smoking. Sadly, less than 7 percent succeed in abstaining for more than a year; most start smoking again within days. So what is nicotine and how does it insinuate itself into the smoker’s brain and very being?The nicotine found in tobacco is a potent drug and smokers, and even some scientists, say it offers certain benefits. One is enhance performance. One study found that non-smokers given doses of nicotine typed about 5 percent faster than they did without it. To greater or lesser degrees, users also say nicotine helps them to maintain concentration, reduce anxiety, relieve pain, and even dampen their appetites (thus helping in weight control). Unfortunately, nicotine can also produce deleterious effects beyond addiction. At high doses, as are achieved from tobacco products, it can cause high blood pressure, distress in the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems and an increase in susceptibility to seizures and hypothermia.First isolated as a compound in 1828, in its pure form nicotine is a clear liquid that turns brown when burned and smells like tobacco when exposed to air. It is found in several species of plants, including tobacco and, perhaps surprisingly, in tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplant (though in extremely low quantities that are pharmacologically insignificant for humans).As simple as it looks, the cigarette is highly engineered nicotine delivery device. For instance, when tobacco researchers found that much of the nicotine in a cigarette wasn’t released when burned but rather remained chemically bound within the tobacco leaf, they began adding substances such as ammonia to cigarette tobacco to release more nicotine. Ammonia helps keep nicotine in its basic form, which is more readily vaporised by the intense heat of the burning cigarette than the acidic form. Most cigarettes for sale in the US today contain 10 milligrams or more of nicotine. By inhaling smoke from a lighted cigarette, the average smoker takes 1 or 2 milligrams of vaporised nicotine per cigarette. Today we know that only a minisculeamount of nicotine is needed to fuel addiction. Research shows that manufacturers would have to cut nicotine levels in a typical cigarette by 95% to forestall its power to addict. When a smoker puffs on a lighted cigarette, smoke, including vaporised nicotine, is drawn into the mouth. The skin and lining of the mouth immediately absorb some nicotine, but the remainder flows straight down into the lungs, where it easily diffuses into the blood vessels lining the lung walls. The blood vessels carry the nicotine to the heart, which then pumps it directly to the brain. While most of the effects a smoker seeks occur in the brain, the heart takes a hit as well. Studies have shown that a smoker’s first cigarette of the day can increase his or her heart rate by 10 to 20 beats a minute. Scientists have found that a smoked substance reaches the brain more quickly than one swallowed, snorted (such as cocaine powder) or even injected. Indeed, a nicotine molecule inhaled in smoke will reach the brain within 10 seconds. The nicotine travels through blood vessels, which branch out into capillaries within the brain. Capillaries normally carry nutrients but they readily accommodate nicotine molecules as well. Once inside the brain, nicotine, like most addictive drugs, triggers the release of chemicals associated with euphoria and pleasure.Just as it moves rapidly from the lungs into the bloodstream, nicotine also easily diffuses through capillary walls. It then migrates to the spaces surrounding neurones –ganglion cells that transmit nerve impulses throughout the nervous system. These impulses are the basis for our thoughts, feelings, and moods. To transmit nerve impulses to its neighbour, a neurone releases chemical messengers known as neurotransmitters. Like nicotine molecules, the neurotransmitters drift into the so-called synaptic space between neurones, ready to latch onto the receiving neurone and thus deliver a chemical “message”that triggers an electrical impulse.The neurotransmitters bind onto receptors on the surface of the recipient neurone. This opens channels in the cell surface through which enter ions, or charged atoms, of sodium. This generates a current across the membrane of the receiving cell, which completes delivery of the “message”. An accomplished mimic, nicotine competes with the neurotransmitters to bind to the receptors. It wins and, like the vanquished chemical, opens ion channels that let sodium ions into the cell. But there’s a lot more nicotine around than the original transmitter, so a much larger current spreads across the membrane. This bigger current causes increased electrical impulses to travel along certain neurones. With repeated smoking, the neurones adapt to this increased electrical activity, and the smoker becomes dependent on the nicotine.Questions 1 –71. Although nicotine is probably the well-known chemical in cigarettes, it is not necessarily the one that changes the psyche of the smoker when cigarettes are smoked.2. In spite of the difficulties, according to the text more than thirty-fivemillion people a year give up smoking.3. It has been shown that nicotine in cigarettes can improve people’s abilities to perform some actions more quickly.4. Added ammonia in cigarettes allows smokers to inhale more nicotine.5. Snorted substances reach the brain faster than injected substances.6. Nicotine dilates the blood vessels that carry it around the body.7. Nicotine molecules allow greater electrical charges to pass between neurones.Questions 8 - 108. Cigarette companies would have to cut the nicotine content in cigarettes by _________ to prevent them from being addictive.9. According to the passage, a cigarette can raise a smoker’s heart rate by _________ a minute.10. In order to transmit nerve impulses to its neighbour, a neurone sends _________ known as neurotransmitters.二、长对话Conversation 119.

In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 2 that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference 3 unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic device such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation（航空）industry, has recommended that all airlines ban（禁止）such devices from being used during “4 ”stages of flight, 5 take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are 6 to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.The difficulty is 7 how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft’s computers. Experts know that portable device emit radiation which 8 those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable（易受损的）to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation 9 . As worrying, though, is the passenger who can’t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music’s too 10 .A) definiteB) incidentsC) effectsD) remainsE) criticalF) particularlyG) reluctantH) refreshingI) portableJ) enormousK) predictingL) liberalM) affectsN) equipmentO) loud四、改错Most people work to earn a living and theyproduce goods and services.

This article served as a basis for the academy that he founded. The academy was a private secondary school, which offered a practical curriculum that included a variety of subjects and useful skills. English grammar, classic, composition, rhetoric(修辞学), and public speaking were to be the chief language studies rather than Latin and Greek. Students could also choose a second language based on their vocational interests. For example, prospective clergyman might study Latin and Greek; physicians could choose Latin, Greek, and French; businessmen might elect French, German, and Spanish. Mathematics was to be taught for its practical application to book-keeping rather than as an abstract intellectual exercise. History would be the chief ethical(伦理的) study. By studying biographies of great men, students were to learn moral and ethical principles. Franklin’s curricular proposal was especially noteworthy because it brought many practical skills into theformal school that so far had been ignored. They included carpentry, ship-building, engraving, printing, painting, cabinetmaking, farming, and carving. With a prophetic(先知的) insight into the course of civilization and education, Franklin suggested that special attention be given to science, invention, and technology.By the mid-nineteenth century, there were many academies functioning throughout the nation, especially at the secondary level. These academies offered a wide variety of curricula and courses, ranging from traditional Latin and Greek to very practical and utilitarian(实用的) studies. The late nineteenth and twentieth centuries saw the emergence of high school and the junior high or middle school, which incorporated utilitarianism, vocationalism, and commercialism, such as Franklin had recommended in his proposals of the mid-eighteenth century.Questions:1. Why did Franklin write “Proposals Relating to the Education of Youth in Pennsylvania”?________________________________________________________2. What did the chief language studies exclude?_______________________________________________________3. What was the main purpose of the ethical study?_______________________________________________________4. Which word in the first paragraph could be used to describe the curriculum offered at the academy?_______________________________________________________5. What did the formal school overlook?_______________________________________________________六、翻译1.

Are there any comments about it?M: Well, to begin with, I was surprised to find out there was so much going on in bones. I always assumed they were pretty lifeless.W: Well, that’s an assumption many people make. But the fact is bones are made of dynamic living tissue that requires continuous maintenance and repair.M: Right. That’s one of the things I found so fascinating about the article the way the bones repair themselves.W: Ok. So can you tell us how the bones repair themselves?M: Sure. See, there are two groups of different types of specialized cells in the bone that work together to do it. The first group goes to an area of the bone that needs repair. This group of cells produce the chemical that actually breaks down the bone tissue, and leaves a hole in it. After that the second group of specialized cells comes and produces the new tissue that fills in the hole that was made by the first group.W: Very good. This is a very complex process. In fact, the scientists who study human bones don’t completely understand it yet. They are still trying to find out how it all actually works. Specifically, because sometimes after the first group of cells leaves a hole in the bone tissue, for some reason, the second group doesn’t completely fill in the hole. And this can cause real problems. It can actually lead to a disease in which the bone becomes weak and is easily broken.M: Ok, I get it. So if the scientists can figure out what makes the specialized cells work, maybe they can find a way to make sure the second group of cells completely fills the hole in the bone tissue every time. That’ll prevent the disease from ever occurring.19. What is the discussion mainly about?20. What is the function of the first group of specialized cells discussed in the talk?21. What does the professor say about scientists who study the specialized cells in human bones?22.According to the student, what is one important purpose of studying specialized cells in human bones?Conversation 2答案：CBD原文：M: Hi Diana, mind if I sit down?W: Not at all, Jerry. How have you been?M: Good. But I’m surprised to see you on the city bus. Your car in the shop?W: No. I’ve just been thinking a lot about the environment lately. So I decided the air will be a lot cleaner if we all use public transportation when we could.M: I’m sure you are right. The diesel bus isn’t exactly pollution free.W: True. They’ll be running a lot cleaner soon. We were just talking about that in my environmental engineering class.M: What could the city do? Install pollution filters in all their buses?W: They could, but those filters make the engines work harder and really cut down on the fuel efficiency. Instead they found a way to make their engines more efficient.M: How?W: Well, there is a material that’s a really good insulator. And a thin coat of it gets sprayed on the certain part of the engine.M: An insulator?W: Yeah. What it does is reflect back the heat of burning fuel. So the fuel will burn much hotter and burn up more completely.M: So a lot less unburned fuel comes out to pollute the air.W: And the bus will need less fuel. So with the saving on fuel cost, they say this will all pay for itself in just six months.M: Sounds like people should all go out and get some this stuff to spray their car engines.W: Well, it’s not really that easy. You see, normally, the materials are fine powder. To melt it so you can spray a coat of it on the engine parts, you first have to heat it over 10000 degrees and then, well, you get the idea. It’s not something you orI will be able to do ourselves.23. What is the conversation mainly about?24. Why did the woman decide to ride the city bus?25. What is the new material?三、选词填空1. I)2. B)3.

While social media has its benefits, such as connecting people from all around the world and providing a platform for sharing information and ideas, it also has negative impacts on society.One of the positive aspects of social media is its ability to bring people together. It allows individuals to stay in touch with friends and family, no matter where they are located. Social media also provides a platform for sharing news and information quickly and easily, which can be beneficial in emergency situations.However, social media also has negative impacts on society. One of the biggest concerns is the spread of fake news and misinformation. With the rise of social media, it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish between reliable sources and fake news. This can lead to a misinformed public and have serious consequences for society.Furthermore, social media can have a negative impact on mental health. Studies have shown that excessive use of social media can lead to feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. The constant comparison to others on social media can also lead to low self-esteem and self-worth.In conclusion, while social media has its benefits, such as connecting people and sharing information, it also has negative impacts on society, such as the spread of fake news and negative effects on mental health. It is important for individuals to use social media responsibly and critically evaluate the information they see online.以上是一份英语四级考试题目模拟及答案，希望对大家备考有所帮助。

The cases were confirmed after strict tests in the World Health Organization (WHO) laboratories were completed, a spokesperson of the ministry said.One of the patient, a 20-year-old restaurant waitress, has been discharged from the hospital after full recovery. None of the people that have contacted with her show SARS symptoms and all of them have been released from quarantine, according to the spokesperson. She was identified as a suspected case on January 8.The other patient, a 35-year-old private businessman, is in a stable situation and has maintained a normal temperature for 11 days, the spokesperson said. He was identified as a SARS suspect January 13.The ministry has informed WHO on the latest developments and Guangdong health authorities have also notified Hong Kong and Macao authorities on the current SARS situation.The spokesperson pointed out that, up to now, Guangdong has reported three SARS cases since the epidemic was declared contained last July, but none of them is highly infectious and recovered quickly.However, the spokesperson warned against negligence over the disease and called on all level of governments to be on high alert, taking all kinds of measures to prevent another SARS outbreak.The season's first confirmed case, a 32-year-old television producer, was released from hospital last week.WHO says SARS comes from animalsAll three recent SARS related cases in Guangzhou are believed to have been infected with the potentially deadly virus by animals, WHO experts say.Dr Robert Breiman: No repeat of last year's outbreak.A joint-team of experts on a mission to track down the deadly virus source believed it has traced the cause of the infection in the first confirmed SARS case.The research team consists of members of the WHO, the Chinese Ministry of Health,China Centre of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Guangdong CDC. The South China University of Agriculture is also on board."We have good reason to believe that animals are the reservoir of the ultimate source of SARS,'' Dr Robert Breiman, an epidemiologist with WHO and the United States CDC, said on Friday. Breiman is the team leader. The WHO team will head for Beijing on Saturday after spending a week on its investigation in Guangzhou.The SARS virus has been detected in animal-holding cages in the restaurant in which the 20-year-old restaurant waitress had worked, Breiman said.It was also found in the two wild animals trading markets in the nearby area. And the female patient served dishes made from civets and other animals, Breiman said.The virus separated from the confirmed SARS patient was nearly identical with that from civet samples, according to Guangdong CDC. Civets are a species of wild cats caught and served at area restaurants as a delicacy. Amazingly, the restaurant owner, who has cooked wild animals like the civet for decades, was quarantined for observation but never showed signs of SARS.Up to now, there is no record of the third patient having contacts with wild animals. However, scientists deduce that animals are the most possible source of the disease. “By and large, most of the diseases that have appeared in the past 10 years have, in the end, turned out to be from an animal source,” Breiman said.“Understanding the potential of animal reservoirs for disease is an important part in any investigation for the new diseases,” he added.The SARS that has infected the known patients this year has seemed a less virulent form than last year, the researcher said, infecting people who come into contact with animals, but not always.“Very possibly, it's a variation virus that isn't transmittable from person to person,” he said.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答；8－10题在答题卡1上。

He was pale and disfigured and looked sick to de ath, which he probably was: obesity(肥胖旳)leads to many nasty ways of dyi ng. Looking around the carriage, I saw quite a few people like him, includ ing a couple of fatty children with swollen checks pressing against their eyes. These people are part of what is without exaggeration an epidemic(流行病)of obesity.[B] But it is quite unnecessary: there is a simple idea- far from new- that could spare millions of such people a lifetime of chronic(长期旳)ill health, and at the same time save the National Health Service(NHS)at leas t ￡14 billion a year in England and Wales. There would, you might think, be considerable public interest in it. This simple idea is that sugar is as good- or as bad- as poison and should be avoided. It is pure, white and deadly, as Professor John Yudkin described it 40 years ago in a revolution ary book of that name. The subtitle was How Sugar Is Killing Us.[C] In its countless hidden forms, in ready meals, junk food and sweet drinks, sugar leads to addiction(瘾), to hormonal upsets to the appetite, to metabolic(新陈代谢旳)malfunctions and obesity and from there to type 2 diabetes(糖尿病)and its many horrible complication. If people really gras ped that, they would try to kick the habit, particularly as Britain is the “ fat man of Europe” . They might even feel driven to support government measures to prevent people from consuming this deadly stuff. Yet so far t his idea has met little but resistance.[D] It is not difficult to imagine the vested interests(既得利益集团)l ined up against any sugar control- all the food and drink manufacturers, p rocessors, promoters and retailers who make such easy pickings out of the magic powers of sugar. Then there are the liberals, with whom I would norm ally side, who protest that government regulation would be yet another ins tance of interference in our lives.[E]That is true, but people should realize that you cannot have a welf are state without a nanny state(保姆国家), to some degree. If we are all to be responsible for one another’s health insurance, through socialized me dicine, then we are all closely involved in one another’s health, includin g everyone’s eating and drinking. That has already been admitted, finally, with smoking. But it has yet to be admitted with overeating, even though one in four adults in this country is obese and that number is predicted t o double by the year apart from anything else, obesity will cripple the N HS.[F]Recently, though, there have been signs that the medical establishm ent is trying to sound the alarm. Last month the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges(AMRC)published a report saying that obesity is the greatest publi c health issue affecting the UK and urging government to do something.[G]The report offers 10 recommendations, of which the first is imposin g a tax of 20 percent on sugary drinks for at least a year, on top of the existing 20 percent value-added tax. That at least would be an excellent s tart. The amounts of sugar in soft drinks are horrifying, and turn straigh t to fat. As Professor Terence Stephenson, head of the AMRC, has said, sug ary soft drinks are “the ultimate bad food. You are just consuming neat su gar. Your body didn’t evolve to handle this kind of thing.”[H]Precisely. The risks of eating too much fat or salt(which are very different)pale into insignificant compared with the harm done by sugar. An d it is everywhere.[I]It is difficult to buy anything in a supermarket, other than plain, unprepared meat, fish or veg etables, that doesn’t have a large amount of sugar in it. This has come about because the prevailing scientific views o f the 1960s and 1970s ignored the evidence about sugar, and instead saw fa t as the really serious risk, both to the heart and other organs, as well as the cause of obesity.[J]The fashion was to avoid fat. But finding that food with much of it s fat removed is not very appetizing, food producers turned to sugar as a magic alternative flavor enhancer, often in the forms of syrups(糖浆)that had recently been developed from corn, and put it generously into most pre pared foods and soft drinks.[K]This stuff is not just fattening. It is addictive. It interferes wi th the body’s metabolism, possibly via the activity of an appetite-control ling horm one. There’s plenty of evidence for this, for those who will acce pt the truth.[L]Theoretically, people ought to make “healthy choices” and avoid ov ereating. But sugar additives are not easy to identify and are hard to avo id. So the snacking, over-drinking and over eating that makes people fat i s not really their own fault: obesity is in large part something that is b eing done to them. It should be stopped, or rather the government should s top it.[M]Going round my local supermarket, I am constantly astonished that i t is still legal to sell all the poisons stacked high on the shelves. The problem is that they are worse than useless. They are poisonous. They are known to be addictive. They are known to make people obese. And giving sma ll children sweet drinks or bottles of fake juice all day long is nothing less than child abuse.[N]Clearly, the sale of such stuff ought to be illegal. I hate to thin k of yet more government regulation. But a bit of tax on sweet soda and a little more health education, a bit of cooking in schools and banning vend ing machines(自动售货机)here and there — as suggested try the AMRC report — is not going to achieve very much. Labelling is quite inadequate. What is needed is legislation banning high levels of sugary syrups used in foo ds and drinks.[O]In June , the then minister for public health said the government w as not scared of the food industry and had not ruled out legislation, beca use of the costs of obesity to the NHS. However, nothing has happened yet. Why not have another Jammie Dodger biscuit and forget about it.46、Avoiding over-consumption of sugar can improve people’s health as well as save medical expenses.47、Laws should be passed to make it illegal to produce overly sweet foods or drinks.48、Giving small children sweet juices to drink all the time is equal to ch ild abuse.59、Looking around, the author found obesity quite widespread.50、The number of obese people is expected to increase quickly in the next few decades.51、If people really understood the horrible consequences of sugary foods a nd drinks, they would support government measures against sugar consumptio n.52、It would be a very good beginning wo improve an additional tax on sugar y drinks.53、The government has not yet taken any action to regulate sugar consumpti on although it indicated its intention to do so some time ago.54、Sugar is far more harmful to health than fat and salt.55、Consumers of sweet foods are not really to blame because they cannot te ll what food is sugary.Section CDirections：There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is follo wed 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 choic e and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line t hrough the centre.The rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative devel opments in human history, comparable in impact to the invention of the pri nting press and the telegraph. Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and can communicate wi th each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they car ry everywhere. But the Internet’s tremendous impacts has only just begu n.？“Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting soc ial, cultural, and political transformations in history, and unlike earlie r periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,” Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book. The New Digital Age.Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently lack Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the implications of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But i f the book has one major shortcoming, it’s that authors don’t spend enoug h time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these weeping changes.In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to da te that describes — and more importantly predicts — how the Internet wil l shape our lives in the coming decades. They paint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and governments must deal wi th two realities, one physical, and one virtual.At the core of the book is the idea that “technology is neutral, but p eople aren’t.” By using this concept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs. pessimist dichotomy(对立观点) that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the I nternet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with T IME earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimi stic about many aspects of the Internet, they’re also re alistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance (监视).56、In what way is the rise of the Internet similar to the invention of the printing press and the telegraphtransforms human history.facilitates daily communication.is adopted by all humanity.revolutionizes people's thinking.57、How do Schmidt and Cohen describe the effects of the Internetare immeasurable.are worldwide.are unpredictable.are contaminating.58、In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequa tefails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology.fails to look into the social implications of the Internet.lacks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businesses.does not address the technical aspects of Internet communication.59、What will the future be like when everybody gets onlinewill be living in two different realities.will have equal access to information.don’t have to travel to see the world.don’t have to communicate face to face.60、What does the passage say about the authors of The New Digital Ageleave many questions unanswered concerning the Internet.are optimistic about the future of the Internet revolution.have explored the unknown territories of the virtual world.don’t take sides in analyzing the effects of the Internet.In 1950, a young man would have found it much easier than it is today to get and keep a job in the auto industry. And in that year the average a utoworker could meet monthly mortgage(抵押贷款)payments on an average home with just percent of his take-home pay. Today a similar mortgage would c laim more than twice that share of his monthly eamings.Other members of the autoworker’s family, however might be less inclin ed to tried the present for the past. His retired parents would certainly have had less economic security back then. Through-out much of the 1960s,m ore than a quarter of men and women and women age 65 and older lived below the poverty level, compared to less than 10 percent in .In most stales, his wife could not have taken out a loan or a card inher own name. In 42 states, a homemaker had no legal claim on the earnings of her husband. And nowhere did a wife have legal protection against fami ly violence.Most black workers would not want to return to a time when, on average they earned 40 percent less than their white counterparts(职位相称旳人),w hite racially restrictive agreements largely prevented them from buying in to the suburban neighborhoods being built for white working –class famili es.Today, new problems have emerged in the process of resolving old ones, but the solution is not to go back to the past. Some people may long for an e ra when divorce was still hard to come by. The spread of no -fault divorce has reduced the bargaining power of whichever spouse is more interested i n continuing the relationship. And the breakup of such marriages has cause d pain for many families.The growing diversity of family life comes with new possibilities as w ell as new challenges. According to a recent poll, more than 80 percent of Americans believe that their current family is as close as the one in whi ch they grew up, or closer. Finding ways to imaginary golden age.61、What do we learn about American autoworkers in 1950had less job security than they do today.was not too difficult for them to buy a house.earnings were worth twice as much as today.were better off than workers in other industries.62、What does the author about retired people todayinvariably long to return to the golden past.do not depend so much on social welfare.feel more secure economically than in the past.are usually unwilling to live with their children.63、Why couldn’t black workers buy a house in a whitc suburban neighbo rhoodlacked the means of transportation.were subjected to racial inequality.were afraid to break the law.were too poor to afford it.64、What is the result of no-fault divorceis easier to obtain.violence is lessened.causes little pain to either side.contributes to social unrest.65 、What does the author suggest society doprepared to face any new challenges.to better the current social security.the gap between blacks and whites.the lives of families with problemsPart IV TranslationDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a p assage from Chinese into English.
