Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A) , B) , C) and D) . You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will spboil your house, destroy your belongings3, bark excessively,fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly4 normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems us learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behaviorto outlets5 that are acceptable in the domestic setting.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself isto obedience6 train (驯服) it. Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem.Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of "come here, sit," it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack (群) by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate (从属的)role by teaching it to showsubmission7 to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog.It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well |trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.21.Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______.A) be just part of their natureB) worsen in modern societyC) occure when they go wildD) present a threat to the community22. The primary purpose of obedience training is to _______.A) teach the dog to perform clever tricksB) make the dog aware fo its owner's authorityC) provide the dog with outlets for its wild behaviorD) enable the dog to regain9 its normal behavior23. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _______.A) essential to solving the dog's behavior problemsB) the foundation for dogs to perform tasksC) a good way to teach the dog new tricksD) an extreme measure in obedience training24. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?A) To avoid being punished.B) To show their affection for their masters.C) To win leadership of the dog pack.D) To show their willingness to obey.25. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _______.A) can give the dog more rewardsB) will enjoy a better family lifeC) can give the dog more freedomD) will have more confidence in himselfPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In highschool I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department,famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that's not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal |arts(文科) university that doesn't even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility10 and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren't studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineerng "factories" where they didn't care if youhad values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist(人文学者) all in one.Now I'm not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调) engineering with liberal |arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student isthat engineering and the liberal arts simply don't mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways; together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.26. The author chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university becausehe _______.A) wanted to be an example of practicality and rationalityB) intended to be a combination of engineer and humanistC) wanted to coordinate11 engineering with liberal-arts courses in collegeD) intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals27. According to the author, by interacting with people who study liberal arts,engineering students can _______.A) balance engineering and the liberal artsB) receive guidance in their careersC) become noble idealistsD) broaden their horizons28. In the eyes of the author, a successful engineering student is expected_______.A) to have an excellent academic recordB) to be wise and matureC) to be imaginative with a value system to guide himD) to be a technical genius with a wide vision29. The author's experience shows that he was _______.A) creative B) ambitious C) unrealistic D) irrational30. The word "they" in "... together they threaten to confuse." (Line 3, Para. 5)refers to _______.A) engineering and the liberal arts B) reality and noble idealsC) flexibility and a value system D) practicality and rationalityPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Priscilla Ouchida's "energy |efficient" house turned out to be a horrible dream. When she and her engineer husband married a few years ago, they built a $100,000, three -bedroom home in California. Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks,the house was equipped with small double |paned(双层玻璃的) windows and several other energy |saving features. Problems began as soon as the couple moved in, however. Priscilla's eyes burned. Her throat was constantly dry. She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep. It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illness.Experts finally traced the cause of her illness. The leyel of of formaldehyde(甲醛) gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers. The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets and wall |to |wall carpeting.The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution, which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nation's drive to save energy. The problem itself isn't new. "The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along," says Moschandreas, a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland. "Energy conservation has tended toaccentuate12 the situation in some cases."The problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homes rather than old ones. Back in the days when energy was cheap, home builders didn't worry much about unsealed cracks. Because of such leaks, the air in an average home was replaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour. As a result, the pollutants13 generated in most households seldom built up to dangerous levels.31. It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas' house_______.A) is well worth the money spent on its constructionB) is almost faultless from the point of energy conservationC) failed to meet energy conservation standardsD) was designed and constructed in a scientific way32. What made the Ouchidas' new house a horrible dream?A) Lack of fresh air.B) Poor quality of buildig materials.C) Gas leakage14 in the kitchen.D) The newly painted walls33. The word "accentuate"(Line 4, Para. 3) most probably means "________".A) relieveB) accelerateC) worsenD) improve34. Why were cracks in old houses not a big concern?A) Because indoor cleanness was not emphasized.B) Because energy used to be inexpensive.C) Because environmental protection was given top priority.D) Because they were technically15 unavoidable.35. This passage is most probably taken from an article entitled "________" .A) Energy Conservation B) House Building CrisisC) Air Pollution Indoors D) Traps in Building ConsructionPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.In 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a depositon beverage16(饮料) containers. Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum17 cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound up buried in landfills (垃圾填埋场). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second |hand plastic.Today, one out of five plastic soda18 bottles is recycled (回收利用) in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc.As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separatingvaluable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains19 a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life-and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials.Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste|management option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to savings20 of more than $100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates21 the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.36. What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beyerage containers?A) Beverage companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discardedplastic soda bottles.B) Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.C) A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.D) Consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get their money back onreturning them.37. The returned plastic bottles in New York used to _______.A) end up somewhere undergroundB) be turned into raw materialsC) have a second |life valueD) be separated from other rubbish38. The key problem in dealing22 with returned plastic beverage containers is_______.A) to sell them at a profitable priceB) how to turn them into useful thingsC) how to reduce their recycling costsD) to lower the prices for used materials39. Recycling has become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because _______.A) local governments find it easy to manageB) recycling has great appeal for the joblessC) recycling causes little pollutionD) other methods are more expensive40. It can be concluded from the passage that _______.A) rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materialsB) local governments in the U.S. can expect big profits from recyclingC) recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentallyD) lanfills will still be widely used for waste disposalPart ⅢVocabulary and Structure (20 minutes) Section ADirections: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Readthe passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank isidentified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in thebank more than once.Super realistic masks are made from flexible materials such as silicone and are designed to imitate real human faces -down to every last detail.In a study by the Universities of York and Kyoto, researchers asked participants to look at pairs of photographs and decide which showed a 26 face and which showed a person wearing a mask.Surprisingly, participants made the wrong call in one -in -five cases.The 20% error rate 27 in the study likely underestimates the extent to which people would struggle to tell an 28 face from the real thing outside of the lab.The researchers collected data from participants from both the UK and Japan to 29 any differences according to race. When trial participants were asked to choose between photographs of faces of a different race from theirs, response times were slower and selections were 5% less 30.There are now dozens of criminal cases in which offenders have 31 themselves off as people of a different age, race or gender, sending police investigations down the wrong path.In one recent case, an international gang used an 32 realistic mask to pose as a French minister, 33 business executives out of millions of pounds.Dr. Jet Sanders, who worked on the study while a PhD student at the University of York, said: "Failure to detect synthetic faces may have important implications for security and crime prevention as super realistic masks may 34 the key characteristics of a person's appearance to be 35 identified."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 from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by markingthecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Stop thinking and start doingA) Most people have a dream in life, a vision of who or what they'd like to be in the future. At a minimum, everyone has interests and values that determine what they want out of their lives. Even so, trying to set achievable goals that you'll work for over the course of many years can be extremely challenging. It can be hard to know where to even begin, and the things you hope to achieve may seem impossible. But, if you're well prepared you may be able to set goals for your life that are just as fulfilling to work toward as to achieve.B) We all have goals that we want to achieve in our lives. These goals may include learning a newlanguage, eating healthier and losing weight, becoming a better parent, saving more money, and so on. It can be easy to assume that the gap between where you are now and where you want to be in the future is caused by a lack of knowledge. This is why we buy courses on how to start a business or how to lose weight fast or how to learn a new language in three months. We assume that if we knew about a better strategy, then we would get better results. We believe that a new result requires new knowledge.C) What I'm starting to realize, however, is that new knowledge does not necessarily drive newresults. In fact, learning something new can actually be a waste of time if your goal is to make progress and not simply gain additional knowledge.D) It all comes down to the difference between learning and practicing. Thomas Sterner, in his bookThe Practicing Mind, explains the key difference between practicing and learning. He says: “When we practice something, we are involved in the deliberate repetition of a process with the intention of reaching a specific goal." Here the words " deliberate" and "intention" are key, because they define the difference between actively practicing something and passively learning it.E) Learning something new and practicing something new may seem very similar, but these twomethods can have profoundly different results. Here are some additional ways to think about the difference. Let's say your goal is to get stronger and more fit. You can research the best instructions on weight lifting technique, but the only way to build strength is to practice lifting weights. Let's say your goal is to grow your startup. You can learn about the best way to make a sales pitch, but the only way to actually land customers is to practice making sales calls. Let'ssay your goal is to write a book. You can talk to a best-selling author about writing, but the only way to become a better writer is to practice publishing consistently.F) Passive learning creates knowledge. Active practice creates skill. Let's consider a couple morereasons to prioritize active practice over passive learning. First, passive learning can be a stick that supports inaction. In many cases, learing is actually a way to avoid taking action on the goals and interests that we say are important to us. For example, let's say you want to learn a foreign language. Reading a book on how to learn a foreign language quickly allows you to feel like you are making progress ("Hey, I'm figuring out the best way to do this!"). Of course, you're not actually practicing the action that would deliver your desired outcome (speaking the foreign language).G) In situations like this one, we often claim that we are preparing or researching the best method,but these rationalizations allow us to feel like we are moving forward when we are merely spinning our wheels. We make the mistake of being in motion rather than taking action.Learning is valuable until it becomes a form of procrastination（拖延).H) Another point to consider is that practice is learning, but learning is not practice. Passivelearning is not a form of practice because although you gain new knowledge, you are not discovering how to apply that knowledge. Active practice, meanwhile, is one of the greatest forms of learning because the mistakes you make while practicing reveal important insights.I) Even more importantly, practice is the only way to make a meaningful contribution with yourknowledge. You can watch an online course about how to build a business or read an article about a terrible disaster in a developing nation, but that knowledge is unproductive unless you actually launch your business or donate to those in need. Learning by itself can be valuable for you, but if you want to be valuable to others, then you have to express your knowledge in some way.J) The last important point to consider is that practice focuses your energy on the process. Thomas Sterner once said, "Progress is a natural result of staying focused on the process of doing anything." The state of your life right now is a result of the habits and beliefs that you have been practicing each day. When you realize this and begin to direct your focus toward practicing better habits day-in and day-out, continual progress will be the logical outcome. It is not the things we learn nor the dreams we visualize that determine our results, but rather the habits that we practice each day. Fall in love with boredom and focus your energy on the process, not theproduct.K) What does this all mean? Is passive learning useless? Of course not. In many cases, learning for the sake of learning can be a beautiful thing. Not to mention that soaking up new information can help you make more informed decisions when you do decide to take action. That said, the main point of this article is that learning by itself does not lead to progress. We often hide behind information and use learning as an excuse to delay the more difficult and more important choice of actually doing something. Spend less time passively learning and more time actively practicing. Stop thinking and start doing.36. Acquisition of new knowledge may not guarantee the progress that you aim to make.37. Your current situation in life is built on the beliefs and habits you have been practicing daily.38. Knowing the best way to learn a foreign language will not enable you to speak it without actualpractice.39. People may find it demanding to create a goal which will take a long time to achieve.40. Learning and practicing seem to be very much alike, but the two processes can lead to quitedifferent outcomes.41. Absorbing new information is helpful in making better decisions prior to action.42. Sometimes we may feel like we are making progress by doing some research or makingpreparations, but actually we are staying at the starting point.43. We are inclined to think that a lack of knowledge prevents us from advancing to a better future.44. Learning can benefit you by itself, but only practice can turn what you learn into meaningfulcontributions.45. Practice involves repeating a process intentionally to attain a particular objective.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) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Research in human-vehicle interaction has shown even systems designed to automate drivingare far from being error-proof. Recent evidence points to drivers' limited understanding of what these systems can and cannot do as a contributing factor to system misuse. A recent study tackles the issue of over-trusting drivers and the resulting system misuse from a legal viewpoint. It looks at what the manufacturers of self-driving cars should legally do to ensure that drivers understand how to use the vehicles appropriately.One solution suggested in the study involves requiring buyers to sign end-user license agreements (EULAs),similar to the terms and conditions that require agreement when using new software products. But this is far from ideal. The agreement may not provide enough information to the driver, leading to confusion about the nature of the requests for agreement and their implications. Further, most end users don't read EULAs. A 2017 study shows 91 percent of people agree to them without reading. Among young people, 97 percent agree without reviewing the terms.The issue is that, unlike using a smartphone app, operating a car has serious safety risks, whether the driver is human or software. And human drivers need to consent to take responsibility for the outcomes of the software and hardware."Warning fatigue" and distracted driving are also causes for concern. For example, a driver, annoyed after receiving continuous warnings, could decide to just ignore the message. Or, if the message is presented while the vehicle is in motion, it could represent a distraction. Given these limitations and concerns, even if this mode of obtaining consent is to move forward, it likely won't fully protect automakers from their legal liability should the system malfunction(发生故障)or an accident occur.Driver training for self-driving vehicles can help ensure that drivers fully understand system capabilities and limitations. This needs to occur beyond the vehicle purchase. Recent evidence shows even relying on the information provided by the seller is not going to answer many questions. All of this considered, the road forward for self-driving cars is not going to be a smooth ride after all.46.

If so, you are likely among the millions of people in search of more protein-rich diets.Protein-enriched products are found everywhere. But contrary to all the publicity that everyone needs more protein, most Americans get twice as much as they need.Many of us living in the most developed countries are buying into a myth of protein deficiency created by food companies and self-identified health experts. Global retail sales of protein supplement products reached an astonishing US$ 18.9 billion in 2020.But are we really in need of more protein? Physicians in the U.S. have never actually examined a patient with protein deficiency because simply by eating an adequate number of daily calories weare also most likely getting enough protein.In fact, Americans currently consume almost twice the National Academy of Medicine's recommended daily intake of protein although the most desirable protein intake may vary depending on age and activity level.For example, if you're a dedicated athlete you might need to consume higher quantities of protein. Generally, though, a 140-pound person should not exceed 120 grams of protein per day, particularly because a high protein diet can strain kidney and liver function and increase risks of developing heart disease and cancer.While fats and sugar have taken the beating in turns since over a century ago, protein has managed to remain our red-hot favorite.In the 1970s through the 1990s, protein products remained visible but moved back somewhat with the dietary spotlight firmly fixed on low-calorie, low-fat, sugar-free snack foods and beverages following the publication of studies linking sugar and saturated(饱和的）fat consumption to heart disease.Later research in 2003, however, suggested high-protein diets could aid in weight loss, and protein quickly regained its former nutrient-superstar status.Now most people living in high-income nations are consuming enough protein. When we replace meals with a protein bar or drink, we also risk missing out on the rich sources of antioxidants(抗氧化剂), vitamins and many other benefits of real food.51. What do we learn about publicity over protein in America?A) It has helped to create the myth of protein deficiency.B) It has helped Americans in search of protein-rich diets.C) It has raised a lot of health concerns among the public.D) It has been funded by food companies and health experts.52. Why have physicians in the U.S. never actually examined a patient with protein deficiency?A) Americans can purchase many kinds of protein-rich foods everywhere.B) Americans can absorb the number of calories recommended by food experts.C) Americans can get sufficient protein just by cating adequate foods daily.D) Americans can rely on food supplements to prevent protein deficiency.53. What should people take into consideration in deciding on the most preferable protein intake?A) How healthy they are and what food they eatB) How old they are and what activities they do.C) How much protein they consume and what their body weight is.D) How serious their protein deficiency is and what remedies they use.54. What foods have been largely out of favor for more than a century?A) Sugar-free snacks.B) Protein-rich foods.C) Both red and white meats.D) Sugary and fatty foods.55. What does the author imply people in developed countries should do to keep healthy?A) Enjoy natural food.B) Eat vegetarian diets.C) Consume enough protein daily.D) Replace meals with protein bars.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

2001年1月英语四级阅读
2001年1月英语四级阅读The 2001 January English CET-4 reading test is a challenging and important exam for Chinese students. The test consists of various reading passages, each with a set of questions designed to assess the students' comprehension and analytical skills. Many students find this test particularly difficult due to the complex language and unfamiliar topics presented in the reading passages.One of the main challenges of the 2001 January English CET-4 reading test is the language barrier. The passages are written in a formal and academic style, which can be difficult for students who are not used to reading such complex English. This can make it hard for students to understand the main ideas and details presented in the passages, leading to confusion and frustration.Another difficulty of the test is the unfamiliar topics that are often presented in the reading passages. The passages cover a wide range of subjects, from science andtechnology to history and literature, which may be outside the students' areas of interest or expertise. This can make it challenging for students to connect with the material and comprehend the main ideas and arguments presented in the passages.Furthermore, the time constraints of the test can add to the pressure and difficulty for students. The test is timed, and students are required to read the passages and answer the questions within a limited amount of time. This can be stressful for students, especially if they struggle with the language and find it difficult to comprehend the passages quickly and accurately.In addition, the multiple-choice format of the questions can be tricky for students. The questions often require students to make inferences and draw conclusions based on the information presented in the passages. This can be challenging for students who are not used to this type of critical thinking and analytical reasoning, leading to uncertainty and second-guessing when answering the questions.Overall, the 2001 January English CET-4 reading test presents a variety of challenges for Chinese students, from the language barrier and unfamiliar topics to the time constraints and critical thinking required. Despite these difficulties, many students work hard to prepare for the test and improve their English reading skills, demonstrating resilience and determination in the face of adversity.。
