Part I Writing Computer for Sale As I am about to graduate and leave the campus, I am going to sell my personal laptop at a low price. It is a Lenovo ThinkPad that I bought in June, 2015. It is not big, but very functional. It has a four-core CPU, an independent display card of 2G, a hard disk of 500G and a screen of 15.6 inches. For the last two years, the laptop has served as my faithful aid and helped me finish most of my assignments and my thesis. There has appeared no fault in the process. I owe so much to it. But as my workplace has already offered me a more advanced working laptop, I find there is no necessity for me to have two. And I know that there must be some of my schoolmates who are more in need of the ThinkPad. Therefore, I determined to sell it. I bought the laptop as the price of 3500 yuan. Now I will sell it at 1500 yuan or less. Anyone interested can contact me via email, and my mailbox is ***@sina.com.
这次的四级作文属于应用文，是近年来不多见的题型。这是近五年第二次考到应用文。第一次是去年6月的感谢信。但这一次考的是出售个人物品的广告，基本上算告示。比较突出的注意事项就是需要有标题。当然，不写标题也不会影响很多分数，主要还是看正文的语言质量。难点在于，对于笔记本电脑应该有一定的硬件方面的了解，有一些专业的词需要会说。而且，更重要的是应该能够发挥合理想象，说出除了电脑本身之外的一些内容。而且这提示我们以后也应该注重四六级考察应用文的可能。欢迎关注新东方四六级考试微博平台，及时获取解析资讯。
Part II Listening Comprehension Section A News Report News Report One One of Google's self-driving cars crashed into a bus in California last month. There were no injuries. It is not the first time one of Google's famed self-driving cars has been involved in a crash, but it may be the first time it has caused one. On February 14th the self-driving car, traveling at 2mph (3km/h), pulled out in front of a public bus going 15mph (24km/h). The man in the Google vehicle reported that he assumed the bus would slow down to let the car out, and so he did not switch to the manual mode. In a statement, Google said: "We clearly bear some responsibility, because if our car hadn't moved, there wouldn't have been a crash." That said, our test driver believed the bus was going to slow or stop to allow us to merge into the traffic, and that there would be sufficient space to do that." The company's self-driving cars have done well over a million miles across various states in the US, and until now have only reported minor accidents. 1. A) The man in the car was absent-minded. B) The test driver made a wrong judgement C) The self-driving system was faulty D) The car was moving at a fast speed
Q1: According to Google, what was the cause of the accident? 解析：根据新闻第一句话，这篇新闻主要报道的是谷歌无人自动驾驶汽车与一辆公交车发生 碰撞这一事故。根据原文 “The man in the Google vehicle reported that he assumed the bus would slow down to let the car out, and so he did not switch to the manual mode.” 选项B是正确选项，是对原文的同义替换，题目较难。
2. A) They have done better than conventional cars. B) They have caused several severe crashes C) They have posed a threat to other drivers D) They have generally done quite well.
Q2: How have Google’s self-driving cars performed so far? 解析：根据原文 “The company's self-driving cars have done well over a million miles across various states in the US, and until now have only reported minor accidents.” 选项D是对原文的同义替换。题目相对较难。 News Report Two
Thousands of bees left a town after landing on the back of a car when their queen got stuck in its boot. Tom Moses who works at a nearby national park, noticed a “brown patch” on the back of the car after the owner parked it to do some shopping. When he looked closer he realized it was a huge group of bees. Moses said: “I have never seen that many bees in one spot. It was very unusual. They were very close together and there was a lot of noise and movements, it was interesting to see such a strange sight. But there were a lot of people around and I was a bit worried about the bees and the people stopping to look. I thought that someone might do something stupid. Moses called two local bees specialists who helped removed the bees by attracting them into a box. Moses spent three hours looking after the bees and was stung five times, he said, “my stings are a bit painful but I am pleased that all worked out and I could help, people need to realize that bees are valuable and they should be looked after.”
3. A) He works at a national park B) He is a queen been specialist C) He removed the beyond from the boot

6月大学英语四级阅读部分答案（卷一）2017年6月全国大学英语四级考试在今天早上正式结束，同学们赶紧过来看看真题答案吧，以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的2017年6月大学英语四级阅读部分答案(卷一)，希望能给大家带来帮助!阅读部分答案选词填空部分答案26.O vigorous27.I phenomenon28.E effectively29.G involved30.M solution31.D cycling32.C control33. J preventing34. N sufficient35. F increased【原文】As if you needed another reason to hate the gym, it now turns out that exercise can exhaust not only your muscles, but also your eyes. Fear not, however, for coffee can perk them right up again. During vigorous exercise, our muscles tire as they run out of fuel and build up waste products. Muscle performance can also be affected by a phenomenon called “central fatigue,” in which an imbalance in the body’s chemical messengers prevents the central nervous system from directing muscle movements effectively. It was not known, however, whether central fatigue might also affect motor systems not directly involved in the exercise itself—such as those that move the eyes. To find out, researchers gave 11 volunteers a carbohydratesolution either with a moderate dose of caffeine—which is known to stimulate the central nervous system—or as a placebo without, during 3 hours of cycling. After exercising, the scientists tested the cyclists with eye-tracking cameras to see how well their brains could still control their visual system. The team found that exercise reduced the speed of rapid eye movements by about 8%, preventing their ability to capture new visual information. The caffeine—the equivalent of two strong cups of coffee—was sufficient to counteract this effect, with some cyclists even displaying increased eye movement speeds, the team reports today in Scientific Reports. So it might be a good idea to get someone else to drive you home after that marathon.【答案解析】26. 本题是在文中的第三句话中出现，根据该句的语法结构，发现26题所在处的单词词性应为形容词，修饰exercise，联系上文中提到“锻炼可以消耗身体中的肌肉”，由此得知本句的意思为经过大量锻炼后，我们的肌肉变得疲惫，因此此处应填入“vigorous”表示“剧烈的运动”。

The second trip was made in October last year.One of the creatures made a dramatic appearance by moving on to the head of the team leader as he slept.The snake has been named silver boa because it is metallic colored and the first specimen found was climbing a silver palm tree.The team was led by Dr. Graham Reynolds, from Harvard University. The scientist confirmed the snake was a previously unknown species after conducting a genetic analysis of tissue samples.Commenting on the find, snake expert Robert Henderson from the Milwaukee Museum of Natural History, said: “Worldwide new species of frogs are being discovered and described quite regularity. New species of snakes, however, are much rarer.”5. What is the news report mainly about?6. What do we learn about the scientific team leader?7.

We also have a free airport shuttle service.M: That sounds great, but will the shuttle get me to the airport in time?W: Yes, it should. The next shuttle leaves in 15 minutes.

Thank you.W: Would you like to leave a comment on our webpage when you have time?M: Sure.

The other day, he came home from school almost in tears. His teacher said if he went on like that, his face would get stuck when the winds changed.W: And he believed her?M: Yeah, he’s only a little boy. Don’t you remember all those things we used to believe when we were little? I remember my aunt Mary used to say if you swallow a cherry stone, a tree would grow out of your mouth. And I’m still terrified today, sort of subconsciously. You know, if I swallow one by mistake…W: Yeah, I suppose you're right. The one that used to get me was that swans could break your leg when they blow of the wing.M: They can, can’t they? I always thought they could.W: No, they are not that strong. But there’s another one even more terrifying. That is, if you put a post stamp on upside down, you will go to prison.M: No, never heard of that. But my grandmother was a terror for that kind of thing. For example, she would say, you will get a spot on your tongue if you tell a lie. If you eat stale bread, your hair will curl. And here is one more. We went on a campaign trip once in Italy, and my wife spent the whole time worrying about bats getting into her hair. She said her grandmother reckoned you had to shave your head to get it out. My wife was really terrified.W: Silly, isn’t it? But that’s how some parents try to keep their kids from doing the wrong thing or getting into trouble.12. What does the man say about Ben?13. What did aunt Marry used to do when the man was a child?14. What does the woman believe swans could do?15. What did the grandmother of the man’s wife say?Section CQuestions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.If I could go back in history and live when I liked, I wouldn't go back very far. In fact, I'd like to relive a period I've already lived -- the 1960s.I was in my twenties, and everything was being renewed. People would come in out of a formal and almost Victorian attitude, and you really felt anything was possible. Meeting people was the thing, and you went to coffee bars where you met friends and spent the evening. The cinema, the theater, all that was every exciting with new things coming out. In fact, we seemed to be out all the time! I don't really remember working --of course, I was a student --or sitting around at home very much. That just wasn't where the scene was, even eating! It was the first time ordinary people started going out to eat. We were beginning to be adventurous about food, but we were more interested in meeting people than in eating or drinking. And dress, yes, that was the revolution. I mean, girls went around in really short skirts, and wore flowers in their hair. And men were in jeans, and could wear their hair long too. It was a wonderful period. It was like living in an age you could never have imagined, and that never has come back. We didn't have much money, but it didn't matter. And there was plenty of opportunity to do whatever you felt like doing.16. Why does the speaker say he would like to relive the 1960s?17. What does the speaker say was the most popular thing to do at that time?18. What do we learn about the speaker?Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.Dogs, man's best friends, have a clear strategy for dealing with angry owners—they look away. New research shows that dogs limit their eye contact with angry humans. The scientists suggest this may be an attempt to calm humans down. This behavior may have evolved as dogs gradually learn they could benefit from avoiding conflicts with humans.To conduct the tests, the University of Helsinki researchers trained 31 dogs to rest in front of a video screen. Facial photos of dogs and humans were displayed on the screen for 1.5 seconds. They showed threatening, pleasant and neutral expressions. Nearby cameras tracked the dogs' eye movements.Dogs in the study looked most at the eyes of humans and other dogs to sense their emotions. When dogs looked at expressions of angry dogs, their eyes rested more on the mouth, perhaps to interpret the threatening expressions. And when looking at angry humans, they tended to turn away their gaze.Dogs may have learned to detect threat signs from humans and respond by trying to make peace. According to researcher Sanni Somppi, avoiding conflicts may have helped dogs develop better bonds with humans.The researchers also note that dogs scan faces as a whole to sense how people are feeling, instead of focusing on a given feature. They suggest this indicates that dogs aren't sensing emotions from a single feature, but piecing together information from all facial features just as humans do.19. What do dogs do when they are faced with angry humans?20. What does a dog do when it sees the expressions of angry dogs?21. How does a dog sense people's feelings?Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Winter in many places is very cold. There is lots of snow around, and the ground freezes, which can make life difficult for animals. People in cold places live in warm houses and have learned to adapt. What do animals do? There are three main ways that animals survive the cold in winter -- sleep, adapt or migrate.Some animals, such as bears, frogs and snakes, sleep all winter. They sleep very deeply and need little or no food. While sleeping, their body temperature drops, and their heartbeat slows down. To prepare for this before winter, these animals eat extra food to become fat, which gives them the energy they need while they sleep.Other animals adapt, for example, by staying active in winter. It is often hard for them to find food. So some animals, such as mice, collect extra food before winter, and hide it. When winter comes, they return to their hiding places to eat the food. Some animals grow thicker fur, or live in tree holes or underground to stay warm.Some birds migrate by flying to a warmer place for the winter, where they can find more food. Some fly very long distances, including one kind of bird that flies from the remote north of the world all the way to the distant south. Some birds fly in groups for safety, while others fly alone.22. What does the speaker say about animals in winter?23. What do we learn about animals that sleep through winter?24. How do animals like mice adapt to the severe winter?25. Why do some birds fly in groups when migrating according to the speaker?2017年6月大学英语四级考试真题听力原文及参考答案（第２套）Part I WritingSelling Second-hand Course BooksSecond-hand course books are being sold now.

Still, 60% drivers would like to get some kind of self-driving feature, such as automatic braking or self-parking the next time they buy a new car. The attitudes are published in a new AAA survey of 1,800 drivers. Advocates of self-driving cars argue they would be safer than in cars driven by humans because they can’t get distracted or drive when tired. But those surveyed by AAA say they trust their own driving skills. Many feel the technology is too new and unproven. John Nielsen, AAA’s managing director of automotive engineering and repair, said tests suggest drivers may be overestimating their own abilities. He also believes they will be more likely to trust self-driving cars as they become more familiar with features such as automatic braking or parking. He estimated that the “comfort level” will increase in five to ten years.1. What is the finding of the AAA survey?2. What does John Nielsen say about self-driving cars?Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.One dog has been killed and multiple dogs have been injured by a snowmobile driver in what appears to be an intentional attack on competitors in the Iditarod Race in Alaska. Aliy Zirkle was the first to report an attack. A snowmobile driver had “repeatedly attempted to harm her and her team,” and one of Zirkle’s dogs had received a non-life-threatening injury. Zirkle reported the attack when she arrived in Nulato, Alaska, in the early hour of the morning. Then Jeff King, a four-time champion reported a similar attack. His team was hit by a snowmobile driver, injuring several dogs and killing a 3-year-old male dog.Reporter Zachariah Hughe says that neither King nor Zirkle was injured. Although this incident very much alters the race of the two participants competing for a win, both are going to continue on their way toward the finish line.Alaska State Troopers released a statement saying they’ve arrested Arnold Demoski, 26. He faces trial on several charges.3. What is the news report mainly about?4. What do we learn about Jeff King?Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.A tour boat turned over off the coast of Nicaragua, killing at least 13 people and leaving more passengers missing, officials said.The boat was carrying 32 people -- 25 Costa Ricans, 4 Americans and 3 Nicaraguans. The 13 dead were all Costa Rican, the foreign ministry said. The boat, traveling between Nicaragua’s Big Corn Island and Little Corn Island, turned over Saturday near the larger island.Some passengers remain missing, the Costa Rican foreign ministry said, but did not specify how many. A local radio said an unspecified number of people were rescued, including the tour boat’s owner, Hilario Blandon.Nicaraguan naval authorities had banned sea travel in the area because of bad weather and strong winds, but the tour boat proceeded anyway. Blandon, the boat’s owner, has been arrested by Nicaraguan authorities, the state-run news agency said. Both he and a crew member are being investigated for unintentional murder and exposing people to danger, according to police.5. What happened to the tour boat sailing off the Nicaraguan coast?6. How many people was the boat sailing?7. What do we know about the owner of the boat?Section BQuestions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.M: Hi, Susan, you are looking very smart today.W: I always look smart, James. Actually, I’m on my way to a job interview.M: What job? Oh, you mean for the summer holidays?W: Yeah, there’s only two weeks to go. I’ve got a second interview with that big foreign accountancy firm in the city center. You know the one.M: That’s fantastic!W: The work is just helping out with data input. You know, but the pay isn’t too bad. It might suit you too. I know they have at least two temporary positions available. And I don’t think they have anyone else yet.M: Um, if they take you on, tell them you know a friend who’d be really good too. I really need the money and the experience will look good on my resume. Maybe we’ll be working together --the dream team!W: Ok, we’ll do. If the boss likes me, I’ll mention it. It will be good to have someone around who I know. I’ll phone you afterwards. But perhaps you should put in an application anyway.M: Thanks Susan, that’s great. Listen, do you want a lift to the city? I have my dad’s car today and nothing else to do this morning.W: Sure, thanks James.M: Let’s go then. The car is over there.W: By the way, how is your knowledge of accountancy? The interviewer may ask you about it. M: No problem. I think I can survive. I might just have to review a few accountancy terms. Maybe you can give me a practice interview first.W: Of course, let’s go then. Don’t want to be late.8. Where will Susan probably get a job?9. What will Susan’s future job involve?10. Why does James want the job in that company?11. What does James say he would have to do to prepare for the interview?Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.W: There is new data out today that confirms that many Americans are not good at Math. And when it comes to everyday technology skills, we are dead last when compared to other developed countries. Here’s Gabriel Emanuel of National Public Radio.M: Let’s start with the bad news that Americans are terrible at technology skills -- using email, naming the file on a computer, using the link on a webpage or just texting someone.W: No country scored below the U.S.?M: Only one country. Poland performed as poorly as we did. Who came out the first? Japan did the best, and then Finland. If you look at data about reading and math, you’ll notice something interesting. Young adults who went to college or graduate school were doing pretty well. In literacy, they were actually doing better than their peers in other countries.W: So that’s a bit of good news.M: But when you look at Americans who have a high school diploma, they look a lot like other countries’ high school dropouts. We have a lot of work to do. That is especially true, when it comes to math. You go to the store and there is a sale. Buy one; get the second one half off. You decide to buy two. How much do you pay?W: You mean high school graduates can’t do this task in general?M: You are right. What does that tell us about our education system? Well, it tells us that we need to think about the preparedness of our students, as they are leaving high school.W: Right. And schools, employers, in fact, we all need to do something about it. Thank you, Gabrielle.12. What does the man say about Americans?13. Who performed the best in technology skills according to the man?14. In what aspect did American college students perform well?15. What do we learn from the conversation about American high school education?Section CQuestions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.Wild carrots probably evolved with the other flowering plants about 360 million years ago. Like apples, carrots are native to Central Asia. That’s why horses, which also come from Central Asia, like both apples and carrots so much.With wild carrots, the roots are white, small and skinny, so you’d have to pick a lot of wild carrots to get enough to eat. Doctors used carrot seeds and roots as medicine on the theory that foods that taste bad must be good for you.Around 800 AD, people in Central Asia managed to develop a new kind of carrot -- a purple carrot that attracted more interest from international traders. Then in the late 1500s, food scientists in the Netherlands cultivated large, straight, sweet, red carrots like the ones we eat today. But people still mostly fed carrots to horses, donkeys and pigs, and didn’t eat them themselves.In the 1600s, people in China used carrots as medicine, but they also ate carrots boiled in soup. The red color was popular for Chinese New Year celebrations.But carrots got their biggest boost during the two World Wars when food shortages forced people to eat them, and governments told everyone how healthy carrots were. Today, cooler countries grow most of the world’s carrots. Machines do most of the planting and picking, and carrots are easy to store and ship, so they are cheap almost everywhere.16. What do we learn from the talk about wild carrots?17. What does the speaker say about carrots in the late 1500s?18. Why did people turn to carrots for food during the two world wars?Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.Katherine loved Facebook. With Facebook, she could stay connected with her family no matter how far away they were. She could see their photos and read their status updates. With Facebook, she could keep her relatives up-to-date on what she was doing.Another thing Katherine loved about Facebook was that she didn’t have to think about time zones when updating family. Whenever she called her parents or other relatives, she always had to think about the time difference so that she wouldn’t wake someone up or call when she knew they were in church. Facebook was so convenient.When Catherine joined Facebook, some of her classmates at high school started to add her as a friend. At first, this didn’t bother her. She loved learning about the success of people she knew when she was just a teenager. She loved finding out people were getting married, having babies and travelling.Soon however, Katherine found herself comparing herself with the people she was reading about on Facebook. It began to make her feel bad that some people seem to be doing so much better than she was. She was also spending a lot of time on Facebook. It took a lot of time and energy to keep up with everyone’s status updates.Katherine started to think. She looked at the list of over 500 friends she had on Facebook and realized some of them were not really friends at all.19. What was one particular convenience Katherine loved of Facebook?20. How did Katherine feel when her classmates added her as a Facebook friend?21. What made Katherine feel bad about herself later on?Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Do you know where a mule comes from? It is the child of a donkey and a horse.Mules have strong muscles like horses but they eat less, can work longer, and are gentler like donkeys.George Washington was the first person in the United States to own mules. He had heard that mules made good farm animals and he contacted the U.S. ambassador in Spain to ask about them. In 1785, King Charles III of Spain sent Washington a male donkey as a gift. That male donkey became the father of the mule industry in the U.S.Every April, Maury County holds a Mule Day celebration. Held in Columbia, Tennessee, Mule Day had its beginnings as “Breeder’s Day” in the 1840s. Farmers and farm animal breeders would bring their animals to market every April to show, buy and trade. This was an important business before the days of tractors when many families made a living from farming, and mules were used as work animals. Eventually, tractors began to replace mules, making them less in demand.A parade was added to Mule Day in 1934 to attract more people. Over the years, other activities have been added. And today more than 200,000 people show up each year to watch and participate. If you visit during Mule Day celebrations, you might see mule-driving contests, square dances, horn shows, or even tree-cutting competitions.22. What does the speaker say about mules?23. What do we learn about the donkey which is said to be the father of the US mule industry?24. What did farmers usually do on Mule day in the 1840s?25. What made mules less in demand in America?2017年6月大学英语四级考试真题听力原文及参考答案（第３套）Part I WritingComputer for SaleAs I am about to graduate and leave the campus, I am going to sell my personal laptop at a low price.It is a Lenovo ThinkPad that I bought in June, 2015.

Fear not, however, for coffee can perk them right up again. During vigorous exercise, our muscles tire as they run out of fuel and build up waste products. Muscle performance can also be affected by a phenomenon called “central fatigue,” in which an imbalance in the body’s chemical messengers prevents the central nervous system from directing muscle movements effectively. It was not known, however, whether central fatigue might also affect motor systems not directly involved in the exercise itself—such as those that move the eyes. To find out, researchers gave 11 volunteers a carbohydrate solution either with a moderate dose of caffeine—which is known to stimulate the central nervous system—or as a placebo without, during 3 hours of cycling. After exercising, the scientists tested the cyclists with eye-tracking cameras to see how well their brains could still control their visual system. The team found that exercise reduced the speed of rapid eye movements by about 8%, preventing their ability to capture new visual information. The caffeine—the equivalent of two strong cups of coffee—was sufficient to counteract this effect, with some cyclists evendisplaying increased eye movement speeds, the team reports today in Scientific Reports. So it might be a good idea to get someone else to drive you home after that marathon.段落信息匹配36 [H] 题干：Successful team leaders know exactly where the team should go and are able to take promptaction.37 [D] 题干：Decentralisation of authority was also found to be more effective in military operations.38 [B] 题干：In many companies,the conventional form of organisation is giving way to a network of teams.39 [J] 题干：Members of poorly managed teams are easily distracted from their work.40 [G] 题干：Teamwork is most effective when team members share the same culture.41 [A] 题干：According to a report by Deloitte,teamwork is becoming increasingly popular among companies.42 [F] 题干：Some team members find it hard to agree on questions like membership and the team's purpose.43 [E] 题干：Some scholars think teamwork may not always be reliable,despite its potential to work wonders.44 [I] 题干：T o ensure employee's commitment,it is advisable to give them more flexibility as to where and how they work.45 [C] 题干：Product transitions take much less time now than in the past.仔细阅读146 D Britons have developed the habit of saving.47 B It will remain gloomy.48 C Luxurious features add much to the price.49 A They are particular about the quality of toilet paper.50 D Environmental protection is not much of a concernwhen Britons buy toilet paper.仔细阅读251 B She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly.52 D They were offered nicotine replacements.53 C It is encouraging.54 B needs some practice first.55 A They find it even more difficult.写作：Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an advertisement on your campus website to sell a computer you used at college.
