firefighters resorted to spraying hot, pressurized water to get rid of the sticky substance.The local TV also noted that the cleanup spanned more than a mile,because drivers simply drove through the chocolate after the crash, leaving a long chocolate trail.But despite the sticky situation, firefighters and police attending to the cleanup were reportedly cheerful about the long task ahead.After

Say hello to a TV show called“Tidying Up with Marie Kondo”.A home improvement show based on her widely popular book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up.In the show,Marie Kondo acts as a tiny garbage fairy for messy people,visiting their houses to share the wisdom of the"KonMari"method.This method is simple in theory but can be endlessly complex in practice.You divide all the stuff in your house–all of it–into several categories,and then examine each item--all of them–to see if it sparks joy.If it does,you keep it.If it doesn't,you thank it,and neatly discard it.So,is the TV show inspiring people to tidy up?Firsthand accounts seem to indicate a small wave of people bringing piles of donation bags to used good stores.One store received thousands of bags of used possessions in one day.January is usually the store’s slow season for donations,because it's cold and people don't want to bother.But not this January.People seemed determined to clean up their homes.One used bookstore received a month's worth of books in donations in a week when a man gave over50boxes of books from his home.It seems Marie’s TV show is having a big impact after all.Q16.What is Maire Kondo’s TV show about?Q17.What things can be kept in one’s home,according to Maire Kondo?Q18.What do we learn about one used bookstore this January?Section CPassage2At just twelve years old,Mike Hannon is making a difference in his community—one lunch at a time.“Mike’s Lunches of Love”has fed more than2,000of the town’s most vulnerable residents.Mike delivers meals to the homeless.“It’s like a way to give people joy,maybe spark something in them that can change them,”Mike told WBZ-TV.The mayor of Mike’s town feels that Mike is a great community leader,especially in such times of so much negative news.While his father commented on how proud he was of his son,yet Mike isn’t looking for praise, but kindness in return.He hopes his active charity will influence others to spread positive actions in their own towns.Mike includes a handwritten message of joy on each bag.His message and star power has spread all over the country.To date,his online page to raise funds has brought in more than44,000dollars and counting,raising more than17,000dollars in just one day,with the hope of many famous actors and others.People from all over the county are sending special handcraft bags to help the young man with his mission to help those in need.Many are hoping the simple active kindness spreads.Mike is seemed as the hope for the future of the town,the country and the world.Q19:What does Mike Hannon do to help people in his town?Q20:What does Mike hope others will do?Q21:How are people all over the country responding to what Mike is doing?Section CPassage3In a recent study carried out by psychologists on the disruptive effects of smart phones,two groups of college students were given word-search puzzles.The first group was told to complete the puzzles with its participants'smart phones in their line of sight.The second group,however,was told that thephones would interfere with the equipment in the experiment and would need be moved away from the testing area.Midway through the second group's solving of the puzzles,the experiment called one of the phones and let it ring for a while before hanging up.Many of the students in that group were unable to focus from then on,becoming anxious and performing more poorly than the first group.Use of electronics has also been known to lead to a decline in human interactions.Rather than having real-life conversations, many express emotions and engage in deep conversations through social media sites.Many students use their phones and computers during class for non-academic activities,which leads to poor grades.Perhaps the most dramatic impact is the reduction in amount of sleep,which lead to poor health and weight gain.Technology is a great tool.However,it's important to recognize its ck of sleep,reduction of productivity,and weight gain are only a few.If we are not careful about all these mind problems right now,the effect on the future generation is going to be much bigger.Q22What were the college students in both groups required to do in the study?Q23What do we learn about many of the students in the second test group after the phone ring?Q24According to the passage,what is the most dramatic impact of smart phone use?Q25What does the speaker suggest people do?参考答案第一套：1.BA)Warm currents in the oceanB)Ship traffic in the AtlanticC)Particles emitted by power plantsD)Exhaust from cars in Europe2.CA)They need to be taken seriouslyB)They have a huge effect on fisheryC)They may be affecting the world’s climateD)They might be causing trouble to air flightsQuestions3to4are based on the new report you have just heard。

When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact word(s) you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.In Britain there are a number of (50) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ of higher education. (51) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , of course, there are the universities. (52) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Oxford and Cambridge, the two oldest universities in England. But, of course, there is a large number of other universities, many of (53) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . The latest of these is the Open University, a unique institution, which, (54) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , is open to all. Students of the Open University are not obliged to (55) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . All the students are (56) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and taught (57) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , although they do (58) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ through centers located near their own homes. The first graduates were (59) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .Section EDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the missing information. You can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.All of us communicate with one another nonverbally, as well as with words. Most of the time we’re not (60) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ that we’re doing it. We gesture with eyebrows or a hand, meet someone (61) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ eyes and look away, change positions in a chair. These actions we assume are (62) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . However, in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as (63) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and understandable as language.One important kind of body language is eye (64) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . Americans are careful about how and when they meet one another’s eyes. In our (65) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ conversation, each eye contact lasts only about a second before one or both of us look away. When two Americans look (66) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ into each other’s eyes, they become more intimate. Therefore, we carefully avoid this, except in suitable situations.Researchers who are engaged in the study of communication through body movement (67) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing something. But there are other possible interpretations, too.

Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage OneEverybody knows that the hamburger is a very popular American food. However, people in the United States learned to make hamburgers from Germans. The Germans got the idea from Russia.In the thirteenth century the Tartar people from Central Asia moved into Russia and parts of Europe. They fought the Russians and won. They ate something like hamburger meat, but it was raw. This raw meat was beef, lamb, goat meat, or horsemeat. Soon the Russians started to eat raw meat too. Germans from Hamburg and other northern cities learned to eat this food from the Russians. However, they added salt, pepper, a raw egg, and then cooked it.Between 1830 and 1900 thousands of Germans went to live in the United States. They took the hamburger with them. People called it hamburg steak.In 1904 at the World’s Fair in St Louis, a man from Texas sold hamburger steak in a roll. Then people could eat it with their hands, like a sandwich. This was the first real hamburger like the hamburgers we eat today.31. From whom did the Russians learn to make the hamburger?32. Where was the hamburger meat raw?33. What was special about the hamburger sold by a man from Texas?34. The passage is mainly concerned with ________.Passage TwoHow did the first people on earth communicate with each other? They didn’t talk to each other. They didn’t use words at all. They probably used signs or pointed to things they wanted. For example, perhaps they rubbed their stomachs to show that they were hungry. These early people had thoughts and ideas, but they didn’t communicate them in words.Nobody knows for certain when people first began to use words, but according to some scientists language may be about one million years old. What were the first words in the human vocabulary? They probably named things that were common and important. Perhaps the first words were short, simple sounds for things that humans saw or touched such as the sun, the moon, a tree, a stone, rain, water, and so on. Words for basic human emotions such as love, dislike, fear, and pain were probably part of the earliest vocabulary.35. How did the first people communicate with each other?36. When, according to some scientists, did people first begin to use words?37. What words were probably the first words in the human vocabulary?38. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as basic human emotions?Passage ThreeIs there a dark side to the computer revolution? Do computers do harm to our health or our society?It c ertainly doesn’t seem that way on the surface. You don’t expect your home computer to turn its game gun on you. And how can machine be harmful?The truth of the matter, however, is that any new technology, computer included, has a dark side.Computers will change the way the nation works. But the computer revolution will also bring problems along with it.Many jobs, for example, will be taken over by robots and computer-controlled machinery. Since many of these jobs are tiresome and even dangerous, that seems like a step in the right direction. But it’s a big worry to the people whose jobs are threatened.39. What is the passage mainly about?40. How does the writer think of new technology?41. What is the writer’s opinion of the computer revolut ion?42. What jobs might probably be taken over by computer-controlled machinery?43. According to the passage, who might be worried about the computer revolution?Passage FourAre you afraid to raise your hand in class even when you know the answer? If you are, most people would say that you are shy. If you feel shy, you are not alone. Nine out of ten people are at least a little shy. But however shy you are, scientific evidence seems to show that it isn’t your fault. You may have been born that way. How do psychologists measure shyness? One way is by observation. They keep detailed records of people’s actions, like how often these people speak to others or how long it takes someone to say hello to a stranger. Another way to measure shyness is to ask pe ople questions. The test only takes about ten minutes. It asks questions like: “Do you like going out a lot?” and: “Do you have many friends?” People must answer either yes or no. These questions can predict how people actually behave in social situations. Suppose the test tells you that someone is shy, chances are good that that person will act shy. When scientists measure shyness, they are really comparing degrees of shyness. In other words, when researchers saypeople are shy, they really mean that they are shyer than others.44. Why does the speaker say that it isn’t a fault to be shy?45. What is one of the ways suggested by psychologists for measuring shyness?46. What is the purpose of the psychologists in asking questions?Passage FiveAgnes Mill er was one of the earliest leaders of the women’s liberation movement in the United States. She was born on a farm in Missouri in 1892. Strangely enough she had a very happy life as a child.She was the only daughter and the youngest child of five. Her pare nts and her brothers always treated her as their favorite. In 1896 the family moved to Chicago. In 1890 they moved back to St Louis where Agnes spent the rest of her childhood. She enjoyed her years in school and was an outstanding student of mathematics. She also was quite skillful as a painter.It was in 1900 that Agnes went off to college. Here she first became aware that women were not treated as equals. She didn’t like being treated unequally but she tried not to notice it. After graduating from college she tried to get a job in her major field: physics. She soon found it was almost impossible for a woman. Agnes spent a full year looking for a job. Finally she gave up in anger. She began writing letters of protest to various newspapers. An editor in New York liked her ideas very much. He especially liked her style. He asked her to do a series of stories on the difficulties women had in finding a job.47. Which of the following is NOT true?48. Miller was good at ________.49. When did Miller first discover that women were looked down upon?Section DDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact word(s) you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.In Britain there are a number of (50) different kinds of institutions of higher education. (51) First of all , of course, there are the universities. (52) Nobody can have failed to hear of Oxford and Cambridge, the two oldest universities in England. But, of course, there is a large number of other universities, many of (53) which have opened since the war . The latest of these is the Open University, a unique institution, which, (54) as its name suggests , is open to all. Students of the Open University are not obliged to (55) have any previous qualifications . All the students are (56) part-time and taught (57) through the medium of television and radio , although they do (58) receive some personal tuition as well through centers located near their own homes. The first graduates were (59) awarded their degrees in 1973 .Section EDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the missing information. You can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.All of us communicate with one another nonverbally, as well as with words. Most of the time we’re not (60) aware that we’re doing it. We gesture with eyebrows or a hand, meet someone (61) else’s eyes and look away, change positions in a chair. These actions we assume are (62) occasional . However, in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them。

These were a red meat diet which is primarily beef,a white meat diet which is mostly chicken and turkey,and a vegetarian protein diet.Each diet period was four weeks.Between the diet periods,participants had a break during which they ate their regular foods.In addition,participants had blood tests at the start and finish of each new diet.The results showed that white and red meat diets had the same effects on blood cholesterol levels.Further,both diets increased blood cholesterol levels compared to the diet built on vegetarian protein sources.The team acknowledged that it is possible that white meat is better for our health than red meat,despite their findings.This is because other effects of red meat consumption could contribute to heart disease,independent of cholesterol.Their main recommendations are that people eat less of both kinds of meat.And more vegetarian protein.听力原文新闻1像鸡肉这样的白肉可能会像红肉一样能提高血液中的胆固醇水平做这一发现让研究人员感到惊讶，他们承认他们并没有预料到这一点吃白肉会导致血液中的胆固醇水平升高。

专业英语四级-9（总分：100.00 ，做题时间：90 分钟）一、GRAMMAR AND VOCABULA总题数：40 ,分数：100.00）1. Which of the following italicized parts is used as an object complement?（分数： 2.50 ）A. He is often heardreading English.B. I wish you togive me a hand. VC. The old man was foundweak.D. Dad had bought me anew book.解析：［解析］A、C中斜体部分属于主语补足语，它通常位于主语之前或谓语动词被动语态的过去分词之后；D中斜体部分为直接宾语；只有选项B中的不定式作宾语you的补足语。
2. Which of the following sentences is INCORRECT?（分数： 2.50 ）A. Todays temperature is higher than yesterdays.B. These are Johns and Toms desks.C. She is the two children mother. VD. This is England and Americas problem.解析：［解析］考查所有格。
常见的所有格有“s”如A）和“of+名词”（如C）两种形式，其中A省略了重复的temperature. 完整表达应为yesterdays temperature 。
当表示各自的所有关系时，名词末尾均需要加上s,如B则意为“这些是约翰和汤姆各自的书桌”。
而当表示他们共同的所有关系时，则仅需在最后一词末尾加s,如D则意为“这是英美共同的问题”。
只有C错误，虽然当一般情况下，复形名词末尾仅需加上即可表示名词所有格，但在不规则复形名词之后，则需加上s 来表示，即正确句型为She is the twochildrens mother.3. Joan said she ____ that there was something wrong with the machine.（分数： 2.50 ）A. had found VB. has foundC. findsD. would find解析：［解析］考查从句的时态。
主句是一般过去时，而从句中的动作发生在主句的动作之前，因此要用过去完成时，A 项had found 正确。
4. He appreciated ___ the chance to deliver his thesis in the annual symposium on ComparativeLiterature.（分数： 2.50 ）A. having givenB. to have been givenC. to have givenD. having been given V解析：［解析］appreciate 后面必须接名词或动名词，He与give逻辑上的存在被动关系，故选D项havingbeen given 。
5. Which of the following sentences is INCORRECT?（分数： 2.50 ）A. He dare not tell her the truth.B. She can be not so silly. VC. He doesn dare to tell her the truth.D. She can not be so silly.解析：［解析］考查句子的否定形式。
dare 既可作助动词，也可作实义动词。
作助动词用时，其否定形式是将not 置于其后；作实义动词时，则用do/does/did not 置于其前，因此A C正确。
当句子既有助动词，又有be动词时，其否定形式是将not放在助动词与be动词之间，因此B不正确。
6. He ordered that everything ___ kept in its original form before his aunt left.（分数： 2.50 ）A. would beB. must beC. ought to beD. should be V解析：［解析］虚拟语气。
that 从句在command, demand, desire, insist, order, request, suggest 等表不要求或命令的引述动词后充当宾语从句时，或是在desire, order, proposal, suggestion 等表示要求或命令的名词后充当同位语从句或补语从句时，从句中的谓语动词应使用“ should+ 动词原形”，其中should 可以省略。
本句中的that ，从句在order 后充当宾语从句，故答案为D。
7. Railway is to a country ____ blood vessel is to a mans body.（分数： 2.50 ）A. what VB. asC. thatD. like解析：［解析］语法结构。
what可以作为一个关系代词，表示“就像.... 一样"，用于句型X is to Y whatX1 is to Y1 ，表示“ X之于Y正如X1之于Y1”，因此答案为A8. ____ James wanted to go camping with his classmates at the weekend, he had to stay behindto help his mom do the housework.（分数： 2.50 ）A. As muchB. Much as VC. Much althoughD. Though much解析：［解析］让步状语从句多由although 和though 引导，当把让步成分（形容词、副词、动词）置于句首时，此时用连词as 或though ，而although 无此用法，答案为 B 项Much as。
9. They were caught in the forest, and ___ made matter worse was that it kept raining cats anddogs.（分数： 2.50 ）A. itB. whichC. what VD. that解析：［解析］空格处需填入一个关系代词既引导主语从句，又在从句中作主语，故选what。
it 不是关系代词，which 和that 不能在主语从句充当主语。
10. _______________ All the flights because of the snowstorm, we had to take the train instead.（分数： 2.50 ）A. were canceledB. had been canceledC. having canceledD. having been canceled VD存在被动解析：［解析］逗号前后句子无连词连接，因此前半句应用独立主格结构作状语，故排除A、B。
由于动作关系，因此用完成式被动语态，答案为cancel 与flights 发生在过去，且．11.Scientists have been calculating the likelihood of a small planet to _____ with the Earthin the year 2182.（分数： 2.50 ）A. coincideB. stumbleC. tumbleD. collide V解析：12.
