The finding suggest that just as a parent's personality can affect the personality of a child, the same is true for a cat and its owner.Owners to find as individuals with high levels of anxiety, fear, anger, depression, and loneliness were more likely to have anxious, behavioral issues. Such cats displayed more aggressive and anxious behavioral styles as well as more stress related sickness. They were also more likely to have an ongoing medical condition and be overweight.The research also found that mentally well adjusted voters had calmer, happier, and healthier cats. The researchers explained that many owners regard their pets as a family member and form close social bonds with them. (17) The majority of owners want to provide the best care for their pets and is therefore possible that pets could be affected by the way their owners interactwith and manage them. The study highlights an important relationship between our personalities and the well being of our pets. (18) Further research is needed to investigate the cause or nature of this relationship, and to look at how owners’personalities are directly influencing their pets behavior and well being.

This was a claim made by the times last week. The claim was based on a new review of studies about the effects of running. The review concluded that on average, runners live 3 years longer than not runners, and that running does more to extend life than any other form of exercise. But there's more to running than its health benefits. (20)Research published in recent years has shown that running changes your brain and mind in some fascinating ways from increasing your brain function to regulating your emotions.However, the precise effects vary according to whether you engage in short, fast running or long distance running. For example, in one study, researchers compared participants ability to learn new words after several minutes of intense running and after 40 minutes of gentle running, participants were able to learn 20 % faster after the intense running. They showed a superior memory when tested again a week later. (21)In another study, researchers asked volunteers to jog for 30 minutes and then show them clips from a sad movie. Participants who usually struggled to handle negative emotions were more intensely affected by the sad clips, just as you expect, but crucially, this was less. So it happened.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you just heard.Question 19. What does the new review of studies claim?Question 20. What is one effect that running has on people according to recent research?Question 21. What did another study find about the participants after they had a 30 minute jog?【P a s s a g e3】Welcome to the tour of the Hill House. This house, built in 1904, is one of the most well known works of Charles Hill, the famous architect. It was designed and built for a local entrepreneur at his family.(22) Before starting the tour, let me give you a brief introduction about the design of this amazing building. (23) Prior to beginning his design, the architect spent some time in the client's old home, observing their life and studying their habits. This meant that he could design the house according to the needs of the family. (24) The client's main desire was to have a home with a unique design. So the architect was given complete freedom.The building style is radically different from what was the fashion of the period. At the time, most large homes were constructed of timber and brick. This one, however, is made of concrete, a novel construction material in those days. The interior of the house, including fittings and furniture, was alsodesigned by the same person. Most of the furniture you will see is original and in good condition. (25) However, those pieces in the children's bedrooms are copies, built to the designs of the architect. Fortunately, all the blueprints for both the building and its contents have been preserved. So we've been able to replace badly damaged furniture. Let's begin our tour starting from the rooms.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 22: What do we learn about the speaker?Question 23: What did the architect do before beginning his design? Question 24: What did the architect’s client mainly want?Question 25: What do we learn about the pieces of furniture in the children's bedrooms?四级听力参考答案第一套1.

2021年12月英语四级作文真题范文 第1套-生活在大城市里的挑战
2021年12月英语四级作文真题范文第1套:生活在大城市里的挑战Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the challenges of living in a big city. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.The Challenges of Living in a Big City①With the development of economy and urbanization, the number of big cities is constantly increasing in China. ②While big cities are attracting more and more people, they also bring many challenges, such as traffic jam and pollution, just to namea few.③The first problem that really bothers me is the traffic congestion during rush hours. I hate waiting for buses and being late for school or work. ④The next problem is that the large population in big cities makes them so crowded that we can hardly find a peaceful place unless staying at home. Supermarkets are always crowded, so are cinemas and parks. ⑤Another consequence of the large population is that it intensifies the inadequacy of high-quality medical andeducational resources, thus decreasing residents' sense of happiness.⑥As a result, although I am frequently asked whether I like to live in a big city or not, my answer is always: "no, definitely not." What about you?。

Finally, the reading rooms are not bright enough as some ofthe lights have gone dark. All these have brought great inconvenience tousstudents, which leaves me with no choice but to write you this letter.From my perspective, it would be wise for you to offer all the librariansatraining course to familiarize them with the layout of the library and theclassifications of the books.

回家后他对家人说道:“今天可以真把我没命了!但我总算使禾苗一下子短低了。
”儿子至地里回去一看，禾苗都已经死光了。
现在有些家长急于让孩子成功，往往步那个农夫的后尘，搞得孩子苦不堪言，却不见孩子学业长进。
这样的家长是否该对这个问题有所醒悟，让孩子自然成长呢?Once upon a timea farmerwho felt unhappy with the slow growth of theseedlings went to the field and pulled them up a bit one by one.Returning homehe told his family,“ am exhausted today! However I finally made those seed lingsgrow taller all at once.” His son hurried to the field only to find that theseedlings had died out.Nowadays, some parents are so eager for their children’s success that theywill repeat the tragedy of the farmer, making their kids suffer greatly andmeanwhile seeing no progress of them Should such parents wake up to this realityand give their children space for natural growth?四级必修单词1.alter v. 改变，改动，变更2.burst vi.,n. 忽然出现，着火3.dispose vi. 除掉;处置;解决;处理(of)4.blast n. 核爆;气流 vi. 炸，炸毁5.consume v. 消耗，耗尽6.split v. 打碎;错位;对立 a.碎裂的7.spit v. 吐(唾液等);唾弃8.spill v. 外溢，飞溅，好像出来9.slip v. 滑动，滑落;忽略10.slide v. 滑动，跌落 n. 滑动;4滑面;幻灯片11.bacteria n. 细菌12.breed n. 种，品种 v. 产卵，产仔13.budget n. 预算 v. 编预算，作安排14.candidate n. 候选人15.campus n. 校园16.liberal a. 无私的;多样的;民主自由的17.transform v. 转变，变革;变换18.transmit v. 传播，播放;传达19.transplant v. 移植20.transport vt. 运输，载运 n. 运输，运输工具21.shift v. 转移;转动;转变22.vary v. 变化，发生改变;并使多样化23.vanish vi. 消灭，不见24.swallow v. 吃掉，咽下 n. 燕子25.suspicion n. 怀疑，疑心26.suspicious a. 猜测的，蹊跷的d a. 温暖的，暖和的;温柔的，味淡的28.tender a. 柔情的;虚弱的29.nuisance n. 损害，妨害，讨厌(的人或事物)30.insignificant a. 并无意义的，无足轻重的;并无价值的31.accelerate vt. 加速，促进32.absolute a. 绝对的，无条件的;全然的33.boundary n. 分界线，边界34.brake n. 刹车，制动器 v. 动真格(车)35.catalog n. 目录(册) v. 编目36.vague a. 模糊不清的，不明晰的37.vain n. 徒劳，白费38.extinct a. 绝种的，点燃的39.extraordinary a. 不平常的，特别的，非凡的40.extreme a. 极度的，极端的 n. 极端，过分41.agent n. 代理人，代理商;动因，原因42.alcohol n. 含酒精的饮料，酒精43.appeal n./vi. 呼吁，恳求44.appreciate vt. 注重，器重，观赏45.approve v. 赞成，同意，批准46.stimulate vt. 提振，鞭策47.acquire vt. 取得，获得;学到48.accomplish vt .顺利完成，抵达;推行work n. 网状物;广播网，电视网;网络50.tide n. 潮汐;潮流51.tidy a. 整洁的，整齐的52.trace vt. 跟踪，找出 n. 痕迹，踪迹53.torture n./vt. 拷打，折磨54.wander vi. 漫游，散步55.wax n. 蜡56.weave v. 绣，编成57.preserve v. 保护，保存，保持，维持61. abuse v. 误用，性虐待;辱骂62. academic a. 学术的;高等院校的;研究院的63. academy n.
