part ⅱreading comprehension

passage one

这是一篇人文类说明文。

第一段中作者提出长期困扰社会科学家的问题，即死亡率遵循一种一成不变的模式。在第二段中作者引用加拿大心理学家gerald wilde的risk homeostasis（体内风险平衡）理论分析了原因，并以交通事故为例，指出如果驾驶时系了安全带，这方面原因导致的车祸会降低，但另一方面驾车人因为感到安全可能会开快车，开鲁莽车，从而发生死亡事故。第三段讨论了影响寿命的因素，文中提到，保持长寿，不仅要注意饮食、不抽烟、谨慎驾驶，更要有乐观的生活态度。

11. b) 语义理解题 问的是长期困扰社会科学家的问题是什么，本题依据是第一段最后一句“it just happens that they follow a consistent pattern year after year”，与选项b)“死亡人数年复一年保持稳定”相吻合。

12. d) 细节推论题 本题题干出现在第二段第二句，意思说：虽然有技术进步和安全标准的提高，西方世界的暴力和意外死亡率在整个世纪中保持着奇怪的恒定（static），由此判断，技术进步和安全标准的提高并未降低各种原因的死亡人数，d项正确。

13. a) 细节理解题 问题是“根据体内风险平衡理论，某些交通事故是由于什么原因”，a)“我们天生的冒险欲望”；b)“开快车，开鲁莽车”；c)“无视安全带的好处”；d)“对超速行驶的本能兴趣”。在第二段靠后，作者先列举交通事故例子，然后在最后一句得出结论：it appears, then, that we have an innate need for danger. 符合a项意思。

14. c) 句意理解题 本句大体意思是：从数字统计的角度说，（开快车开鲁莽车导致的死亡人数的增加）抵消了系保险带（引起的死亡人数减少）的好处。cancel out解释为“抵消，对消”。所以c项“因为其他原因引起的死亡对消了系保险带的好处”符合题意。a和d都包含系保险带没有好处，不对，系保险带有benefits，会降低这方面原因导致的死亡事故。b)“系安全带与不系安全带的死亡人数一样”，无此意。

15. c) 语义理解题 问什么有助于长寿，依据最后一段。a)“对别人信任不要怀疑”，不对，倒数第二句是说疑惑心重的人比乐观豁达的人早逝；b项不对，文中说“eating the right foods”，并不等于低脂食物；c项正确，“an optimistic personality and never losing heart”都是“a sunny disposition”的特征；d项后半部分不对。

passage two

这是一篇新闻报道类议论文。

文章报道了美国加州就是否对能源价格进行控制这一问题进行的辩论，一方面，加州管理者、公用事业公司和州长都强烈要求对加州的能源价格实施限制，另一方面，联邦能源管理委员会坚决反对，认为以前取消价格限制的目的是为了让市场来调节供求，不会再人为干预价格（not to re-regulate）。文中许多地方采用直接引语，反映各自观点。

16. a) 细节理解题 题目是“加州人和联邦管理者之间的斗争是关于什么”，依据第一段，加州人要求“to cap spot market prices(控制现货市场价格)”，但联邦管理者拒绝了，a项正确；b)“取消价格控制的必要性”；c)“提高加州的能源价格”；d)“对电力供应的调节”，均与第一段不符。

17. d) 语义理解题 题干中的“dissatisfied with”与第二段中的“not happy with”是一致的，第二段字面理解为“他们生活在象牙塔中，如果他们的支付账单像圣第亚哥的人那样不断增加，他们就会理解这确实是个问题”，gray davis州长并非真的说联邦管理者生活优越或者不了解加州的问题（文章最后一段提及他们知道情况），而是说他们对加州的问题熟视无睹，不愿采取措施。

18. c) 细节理解题 本题题干对应第三段第一句，以前取消价格控制的目的是“to allow for a free market”，“free market”的含义在第六段进一步阐述为“to enable the markets to catch up to current supply and demand problems(让市场来解决目前的供求问题)”，所以答案为c。

19. c) 细节判断题 题干“为了有助于抑制价格的进一步上涨，加州的个人和团体干什么”，从全文特别是第一段可以判断，他们敦促联邦当局采取措施，c项正确。a)“实施合理的价格控制”，是要求政府做而不是他们自己做，不对；b)“敲打联邦管理者的门”，文中是比喻说法，并非真的敲门；d)“与政府提高价格的政策进行斗争”，与文章不符。

20. b) 观点判断题 问的是反对价格控制的专家们的观点。a)“除非有价格控制，否则加州目前的局面将会继续”，这是赞成价格控制者的观点，不对；b)“目前的危机部分归咎于以前指令控制政策”，正确，依据是第六段“command and control regulation that has helped to produce the current crisis”；c)“价格控制只能暂时解决一个州的能源问题”，不对，文章在最后一段最后一句说“they never work”；d项中后半句“将采取措施”，与原文不符。

passage three

这是一篇关于非言语交际的说明文。

本文在第一段谈及非言语交际的另外一种因素，即距离。文章提到，美国人在非正式场合交流时，一般保持“臂长的距离”，拉丁或阿拉伯文化背景的人则靠得较近，甚至常常互相触摸。第二段讨论了言语交际时表情的使用，美国人把“保持眼神接触”看作是“真诚和诚实”的表示，但同时指出盯着陌生人看被认为是粗鲁的。

21.d) 推论题 题目的意思是：在先前的章节中作者最有可能讨论了什么。依据文章的第一句选择答案：“非言语交际的另外一个文化方面是你可能想不到的：交际距离”，既然是另外一个文化方面（another cultural aspect），说明在前面章节中讨论了其他的文化方面，所以本题答案是d。

22. b) 细节理解题 问的是“人们谈话时彼此保持的距离与什么密切相关”，参看第一段第五句“but the size of a person’s ‘comfort zone’ depends on his cultural ethnic origin.（一个人“舒服距离”的大小取决于他的来自什么民族文化）”，“cultural ethnic origin”连在一起理解为来自什么民族文化，而不是指a)“出生；起源”；c)“习俗”；d)“国籍”。

23. c) 细节推断题 题目要求判断意大利人与阿拉伯人在非正式交流时的情况。第一段倒数第二句提到“拉丁或阿拉伯文化背景的人靠得非常近，甚至常常互相触摸”。意大利属于拉丁文化，所以c)“喜欢保持较近的距离”符合句意。

24. d) 词汇理解题 a “poker face”后的定语从句“whose emotions are hidden by a deadpan expression（其情感被没有表情所掩盖）”，但deadpan可能是生词，那就退回去看上一句：美国人为了表示强调会显示出各种表情，本句应该理解为“那么什么样的人会招致怀疑”，应该是没有表情，答案为d项。

25. a) 细节理解题 第二段提到“whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening,americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty”,“genuineness and honesty”与题干中的“sincere and truthful”是同义，答案是a。

passage four

这是一篇科普类说明文。

文章提到，dna可以用来识别个人身份。宗谱学利用遗传标记所提供的独有识别特征将人连成家族树。对于家族信息缺失的人来说，通过研究他们的遗传标记，可以使他们的家谱研究取得突破。宗谱学研究小组（the molecular genealogy research group）建立一个由10万基因样本组成的数据库，其最终目的是帮助解决仅靠传统文字资料不能完全解决的有关宗谱的问题。

26.b) 单句理解推断题 题干的意思是对第一句中“there are also regions of the dna strand（也有一些区域具有同样的dna线索）”的改写，原因就是前面提到的“because it is inherited（dna具有遗传性）”，既然是遗传，那么可以推断出具有同样dna特征的人必定有同样的祖先。比较四个选项，b符合这样的意思。

27. c) 语义理解推断题 基于第一段第二、三句，我们知道遗传标记提供独有的识别特征（unique identification）把人们连接在一起，形成家族树。换句话说，能对家族树进行研究，是因为遗传标记的独有特征可以用来判断一个人的基因身份以及与他人之间的关系，c项正确。a)“遗传学取得突破”和b)“包含在dna中的基因信息现在可以揭示出来”没有回答进行家族树研究依据什么基础这样的问题；而d项强调“用dna证明有多远（how distant）”与文章相孛。

28. a) 细节理解题 题干问的是建数据库的目的，对照第二段中“help in solving many issues regarding genealogies that could not be done by relying only…(有助于解决仅靠…不能解决的宗谱有关的许多问题)”。四个选项：a)“解决宗谱有关的问题时提供帮助”，正确；b)“无须依赖传统文字资料解决许多问题”；c)“提供代表世界基因构成的家谱树”；d)“获得10万份世界各地个人dna样本”均不正确。

29. b) 细节推断题 题干的表述相当于第三段第二句的“if two men sharing the same last name believe that they are related”，做题依据是本句的后半句“we can verify this possibility by collecting a sample of dna from both and looking for common markers(通过采集两个人的dna样本寻找共同的遗传标记来确定这种可能性)”，b项符合。c)“比较他们y染色体的不同”，并非要强调不同，错误。

30. c) 篇章推断题 a)“我们的方方面面记录着我们的祖先”，可以推断，因为dna具有遗传特性；b)“许多美国黑奴不知道他们的祖先”，正确，依据是第一段最后一句；c)“收养的孩子或者孤儿与他们的家族树没有关系”，不正确，因为他们与家族树的关系是基因特征而不是其他因素决定的；d)“宗谱学能用来证明人与人之间的关系”，识别和证明人的身份关系是宗谱学的目的，正确。

62. a) give away此处解释为“送掉，赠送”，a项正确。give out“公布，发表；用完”；give over“移交；停止（做某事）”；give off“发出（气味、信号等）”。

63. b)项正确。前半句意思是“食品银行实行复杂而先进的仓储式运作”，后半句是定语从句，由where引导，相当于during which。

64. d)根据前后动词的意义确定该题选项，前面是“收集食品”，后面是“再分发食品”，中间应该取sort“对食品进行分类”，而不是process“对食品加工”，d项正确。

65. b)下文提到通过机构网络提供服务，而不是直接发送食品，选b。

66. a)those in need意为“穷人”，符合上下文意思，a项正确。

67. c)前半句为否定，后半句是肯定，中间用instead连接。c项正确。

68. d)an extensive network意为“庞大的网络”，d项正确。

69. b)根据句意，各个机构服务各自的社区，应选respective。

70. d)参照上一句，community正确。

71. a)从上下文意思判断，此处表示结果（therefore），而不是转折（nevertheless），让步（still）或对比（conversely），a正确。

72. c) a number of后接复数名词，a quantity of虽然也表示“大量”，一般不用于指人，如a quantity of meat,a quantity of vegetables，c项正确。

73. b)下文提到食品银行还经营儿童快餐和社区农业项目，所以本题选other。

74. d) range from…to…是固定搭配：“从…到…不等；涉及从…到…”。

75. a)儿童快餐是课外食品供应项目的一部分，a项正确。

76. c)raise funds是词组，意为“筹集资金”。

77. b)项正确，注意句末关键词hungry，所以用feed“提供食物”。

78. c)参看逗号前a hunger advocate“主张存在饥饿现象者”，后面应该是对饥饿现象的研究，选c。

79. a)本处的意思为“国内饥饿现象这一问题”，应选issue，a项正确。

80. d)economic boom“经济繁荣”，形容词作定语。

写作提示：本文要求写一封贷款信。理由要充分，对学生来说，由于家庭困难而无法支付学费是不错的话题。在行文时需注意句子结构的变化，简单句、并列句和复杂句尽可能交叉使用。在涉及词语的使用时，注意有意识的变化，比如“主修”可以表述为“major in”或“specialize in”；“学费”可以用expenses、tuition、fees等等；“经济困难”使用“financial burden/pressure/difficulties”。

a letter applying for a bank loan

mar. 1

dear sir/madame,

i am a sophomore in shanghai university, majoring in computer software. in the previous one and a half years i have been a model student and monitor of my class.

however, since i registered here, the expenses have become a burden for my average family. you know, my parents are both laid－off workers, and, to make matters worse, my mother has suddenly fallen ill and is expecting a major operation. it will be beyond their ability to finance me through my remaining education. it is now a must for me to help relieve their financial pressure. so i’m applying to your bank for a loan of 10,000 yuan. if my application is approved, all the money will go to my tuition and fees for the coming academic years.

i’ve made a detailed plan to arrange my school life. a part-time job as a family tutor will not be difficult to find and some work-study programs for students like me are also provided in our university. from these sources i will be able to earn more than enough to support myself. i guarantee that i will repay the loan within five years, that is, within two years after my graduation. please have confidence in me: i have a very good credit record.

i would be greatly obliged if my application is granted. many thanks.

yours sincerely,

liuliu

英语四级试题答案

Section A

Directions：In this section， there is a passage with ten blanks。 You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage。 Read the passage through carefully before making your choices。 Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter。 Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre。 You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once。

Questions 26 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Physical activity does the body good, and there’s growing evidence that it helps the brain too. Researchers in the Netherlands report that children who get more exercise, whether at school or on their own,  26 to have higher GPAs and better scores on standardized tests. In a  27  of 14 studies that looked at physical activity and academic 28 , investigators found that the more children moved, the better their grades were in school,  29  in the basic subjects of math, English and reading.

The data will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over whether physical education classes should be cut as schools struggle to  30  on smaller budgets. The arguments against physical education have included concerns that gym time may be taking away from study time. With standardized test scores in the U.S.  31  in recent years, some administrators believe students need to spend more time in the classroom instead of on the playground. But as these findings show, exercise and academics may not be  32  exclusive. Physical activity can improve blood  33  to the brain, fueling memory, attention and creativity, which are  34  to learning. And exercise releases hormones that can improve  35  and relieve stress, which can also help learning. So while it may seem as if kids are just exercising their bodies when they’re running around, they may actually be exercising their brains as well.

Section B

Directions： In this section， you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it。 Each statement 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 marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2。

Finding the Right Home—and Contentment, Too

[A] When your elderly relative needs to enter some sort of long-term care facility—a moment few parents or children approach without fear—what you would like is to have everything made clear.

[B] Does assisted living really mark a great improvement over a nursing home, or has the industry simply hired better interior designers? Are nursing homes as bad as people fear, or is that an out-moded stereotype (固定看法)? Can doing one’s homework really steer families to the best places? It is genuinely hard to know.

[C] I am about to make things more complicated by suggesting that what kind of facility an older person lives in may matter less than we have assumed. And that the characteristics adult children look for when they begin the search are not necessarily the things that make a difference to the people who are going to move in. I am not talking about the quality of care, let me hastily add. Nobody flourishes in a gloomy environment with irresponsible staff and a poor safety record. But an accumulating body of research indicates that some distinctions between one type of elder care and another have little real bearing on how well residents do.

[D]The most recent of these studies, published in The journal of Applied Gerontology, surveyed 150 Connecticut residents of assisted living, nursing homes and smaller residential care homes (known in some states as board and care homes or adult care homes). Researchers from the University of Connecticut Health Center asked the residents a large number of questions about their quality of life, emotional well-being and social interaction, as well as about the quality of the facilities.

[E]“We thought we would see differences based on the housing types,” said the lead author of the study, Julie Robison, an associate professor of medicine at the university. A reasonable assumption—don’t families struggle to avoid nursing homes and suffer real guilt if they can’t?

[F] In the initial results, assisted living residents did paint the most positive picture. They were less likely to report symptoms of depression than those in the other facilities, for instance, and less likely to be bored or lonely. They scored higher on social interaction.

[G] But when the researchers plugged in a number of other variables, such differences disappeared. It is not the housing type, they found, that creates differences in residents’ responses. “It is the characteristics of the specific environment they are in, combined with their own personal characteristics—how healthy they feel they are, their age and marital status,” Dr. Robison explained. Whether residents felt involved in the decision to move and how long they had lived there also proved significant.

[H] An elderly person who describes herself as in poor health, therefore, might be no less depressed in assisted living (even if her children preferred it) than in a nursing home. A person who bad input into where he would move and has had time to adapt to it might do as well in a nursing home as in a small residential care home, other factors being equal. It is an interaction between the person and the place, not the sort of place in itself, that leads to better or worse experiences. “You can’t just say, ‘Let’s put this person in a residential care home instead of a nursing home—she will be much better off,” Dr. Robison said. What matters, she added, “is a combination of what people bring in with them, and what they find there.”

[I] Such findings, which run counter to common sense, have surfaced before. In a multi-state study of assisted living, for instance, University of North Carolina researchers found that a host of variables—the facility’s type, size or age; whether a chain owned it; how attractive the neighborhood was—had no significant relationship to how the residents fared in terms of illness, mental decline, hospitalizations or mortality. What mattered most was the residents’ physical health and mental status. What people were like when they came in had greater consequence than what happened one they were there.

[J] As I was considering all this, a press release from a respected research firm crossed my desk, announcing that the five-star rating system that Medicare developed in to help families compare nursing home quality also has little relationship to how satisfied its residents or their family members are. As a matter of fact, consumers expressed higher satisfaction with the one-star facilities, the lowest rated, than with the five-star ones. (More on this study and the star ratings will appear in a subsequent post.)

[K] Before we collectively tear our hair out—how are we supposed to find our way in a landscape this confusing?—here is a thought from Dr. Philip Sloane, a geriatrician（老年病学专家）at the University of North Carolina：“In a way, that could be liberating for families.”

[L] Of course, sons and daughters want to visit the facilities, talk to the administrators and residents and other families, and do everything possible to fulfill their duties. But perhaps they don’t have to turn themselves into private investigators or Congressional subcommittees. “Families can look a bit more for where the residents are going to be happy，” Dr. Sloane said. And involving the future resident in the process can be very important.

[M] We all have our own ideas about what would bring our parents happiness. They have their ideas, too. A friend recently took her mother to visit an expensive assisted living/nursing home near my town. I have seen this place—it is elegant, inside and out. But nobody greeted the daughter and mother when they arrived, though the visit had been planned; nobody introduced them to the other residents. When they had lunch in the dining room, they sat alone at a table.

[N] The daughter feared her mother would be ignored there, and so she decided to move her into a more welcoming facility. Based on what is emerging from some of this research, that might have been as rational a way as any to reach a decision.

36. Many people feel guilty when they cannot find a place other than a nursing home for their parents.

37.Though it helps for children to investigate care facilities, involving their parents in the decision-making process may prove very important.

38.It is really difficult to tell if assisted living is better than a nursing home.

39.How a resident feels depends on an interaction between themselves and the care facility they live in.

40.The author thinks her friend made a rational decision in choosing a more hospitable place over an apparently elegant assisted living home.

41.The system Medicare developed to rate nursing home quality is of little help to finding a satisfactory place.

42.At first the researchers of the most recent study found residents in assisted living facilities gave higher scores on social interaction.

43.What kind of care facility old people live in may be less important than we think.

44.The findings of the latest research were similar to an earlier multi-state study of assisted living.

45.A resident’s satisfaction with a care facility has much to do with whether they had participated in the decision to move in and how long they had stayed there.

2022年6月英语四级试题答案

一、四级作文部分：

Writing

Write proposals for the service of school hospital

范文：

Dear Sir or Madam,

I hope you are doing great. I am Li Ming, a sophomore majoru001Fing in English Language education. I am writing to make sugu001Fgestions on making an application for improving our school clinic' s services.

The first feature of the application is a website that enables students to express their dissatisfaction about the doctor s attitude. Due to the large number of patients, it is quite easy for students to encounter the doctor' s impatience, which leads to mental discomfort in the process of seeing a doctor. Moreover, booking a doctor in advance is another useful aspect of this application. With the help of this feature, stuu001Fdents can avoid wasting time waiting for the call of doctors, because they need to arrive in the clinic at the time they booked before.

Thank you for your consideration and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,

Li Ming

四、四级翻译部分：

从前，有个农夫正在地里耕作，突然看见一只免子飞奔而过，撞在一棵大树上死了。农夫毫不费力就吃到了兔肉，心里非常高兴。他想，“如果总是这样该多好啊!”于是，不再耕作，每天守候在那棵树旁，等待着能再捡到撞死在树上的免子。他等呀等，等了一天又一天，田地也荒芜了，却再也没有等到第二只免子。人们因而都嘲笑他把偶然当成必然。

Once upon a time,a farmer, who was working in the field, suddenly saw a hare running past, hitting a large tree and killing itself. He was so pleased to eat its meat easily that he thought, “What a wonderful thing to have this all the time!” From then on, he stopped working and waited by the tree for more hares that would crash. He waited and waited one day after another, in vain,only to have a desert-ed field. Therefore,people laughed at him for taking the ac-cidental for the inevitable.

篇5：6月英语四级模拟试题及答案

Passage Four

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies-and other creatures-learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards”; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological(生理的) “drives” as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.

It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome.

Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward” the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the children's responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “switched on” a display of lights-and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.

Papousek's light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble” when the display came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control.

A) are directly related to pleasure

38. In Papousek's experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to .

A) the lights were directly related to some basic “drives”

B) the sight of the lights was interesting

C) they need not turn back to watch the lights

D) they succeeded in “switching on” the lights

40. According to Papousek, the pleasure babies get in achieving something is a reflection of .

A) a basic human desire to understand and control the world

B) the satisfaction of certain physiological needs

C) their strong desire to solve complex problems

D) a fundamental human urge to display their learned skills

part ⅱ reading comprehension(35 minutes)

directions: there are 4 passages in this part. 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 one

questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.

the predictability of our mortality rates is something that has long puzzled social scientists. after all, there is no natural reason why 2,500 people should accidentally shoot themselves each year or why 7,000 should drown or 55,000 die in their cars. no one establishes a quota for each type of death. it just happens that they follow a consistent pattern year after year.

a few years ago a canadian psychologist named gerald wilde became interested in this phenomenon. he noticed that mortality rates for violent and accidental deaths throughout the western world have remained oddly static throughout the whole of the century, despite all the technological advances and increases in safety standards that have happened in that time. wilde developed an intriguing theory called “risk homeostasis”. according to this theory, people instinctively live with a certain level of risk. when something is made safer, people will get around the measure in some way to reassert the original level of danger. if, for instance, they are required to wear seat belts, they will feel safer and thus will drive a little faster and a little more recklessly, thereby statistically canceling out the benefits that the seat belt confers. other studies have shown that where an intersection is made safer, the accident rate invariably falls there but rises to a compensating level elsewhere along the same stretch of road. it appears, then, that we have an innate need for danger.

in all events, it is becoming clearer and clearer to scientists that the factors influencing our lifespan are far more subtle and complex than had been previously thought. it now appears that if you wish to live a long life, it isn’t simply a matter of adhering to certain precautions … eating the right foods, not smoking, driving with care. you must also have the right attitude. scientists at the duke university medical center made a 15-year study of 500 persons personalities and found, somewhat to their surprise, that people with a suspicious or mistrustful nature die prematurely far more often than people with a sunny disposition. looking on the bright side, it seems, can add years to your life span.

11. what social scientists have long felt puzzled about is why .

a) the mortality rate can not be predicted

b) the death toll remained stable year after year

c) a quota for each type of death has not come into being

d) people lost their lives every year for this or that reason

12. in his research, gerald wilde finds that technological advances and increases in safety standards .

a) have helped solve the problem of so high death rate

b) have oddly accounted for mortality rates in the past century

c) have reduced mortality rates for violent and accidental deaths

d) have achieved no effect in bringing down the number of deaths

13. according to the theory of “risk homeostasis”, some traffic accidents result from .

a) our innate desire for risk

b) our fast and reckless driving

c) our ignorance of seat belt benefits

d) our instinctive interest in speeding

14. by saying “…statistically canceling out the benefits that the seat belt confers” (para. 2),the author means .

a) wearing seat belts does not have any benefits from the statistic point of view

b) deaths from wearing seat belts are the same as those from not wearing them

c) deaths from other reasons counterbalance the benefits of wearing seat belts

d) wearing seat belts does not necessarily reduce deaths from traffic accidents

15. which of the following may contribute to a longer life span?

a) showing adequate trust instead of suspicion of others

b) eating the food low in fat and driving with great care

c) cultivating an optimistic personality and never losing heart

d) looking on the bright side and developing a balanced level of risk

passage two

questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.

in california the regulators, the utilities and the governor all want the federal energy regulatory commission to cap spot (现货的) market prices. the californians claim it will rein in outrageous prices. federal regulators have refused. the battle is on.

governor gray davis says,“i’m not happy with the federal regulatory commission at all. they’re living in an ivory tower. if their bills were going up like the people in san diego, they would know that this is a real problem in the real world.”

as part of deregulation, price caps were removed to allow for a free market. timing is everything; natural gas prices had already skyrocketed. demand was high from california’s booming economy. no new power plants had been built here in ten years, and power producers had the right to hike prices along with demand. and hike them they did.

loretta lynch of the public utilities commission says,” this commission and all of california was beating down the door of federal regulators to say‘help us impose reasonable price caps to help to keep our market stable.”

federal regulators did ask for longer-term contracts between power producers and the utilities to stabilize prices. the federal commission, unavailable for comment on this story, released a recent statement defending its position not to re-regulate.

federal energy regulatory commission dec. 15,: “the commissions intention is to enable the markets to catch up to current supply and demand problems and not to reintroduce command and control regulation that has helped to produce the current crisis.”

some energy experts believe that, without temporary price caps, the crisis will continue.

severin borenstein of the u.c. energy institute says,“some federal regulators have a blind commitment to making the market work and i think part of the problem is they really dont understand whats going on.”

gary ackerman of the western power trading forum says,“he’s dead wrong about that. the federal regulators understand far better than any individual state that, though it might be painful and it certainly is painful in california, price caps don’t work. they never work.”

16. the battle between californians and federal regulators is about .

a) control over the price of power

b) necessity of removing price caps

c) hiking the energy prices in california

d) a regulation concerning power supply

17. governor gray davis was dissatisfied with the federal regulatory commission because .

a) they did not know what the real problem was

b) they were living an easy life in an ivory tower

c) they could not experience the life in san diego

18. the federal commission uncapped the energy price with the intention to .

a) help california’s economy booming steadily

b) prevent power price from going up any further

c) enable the market to deal with supply and demand problems

c) price caps can temporarily solve energy problems an individual state meets with

d) they do understand what is going on in california and will take proper measures

passage three

questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

another cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not think about: space. every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surrounding his physical body. when someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. when he bumps onto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. but the size of a person’s “comfort zone” depends on his cultural ethnic origin. for example, in casual conversation, many americans stand about four feet apart. in other words, they like to keep each other “at arms length”,people in latin or arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and touch each other often. if someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an american while in conversation, the american may feel uncomfortable and back away.

when americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. to americans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement or disgust, shock or sadness. people with a “poker face”, whose emotions are hidden by a deadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. americans also indicate their attentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely and maintaining good eye contact. whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening, americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. if a person doesn’t look you in the eye, american might say, you should question his motives—or assume that he doesn’t like you. yet with all the concern for eye contact, americans still consider staring—especially at strangers—to be rude.

21. what the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about .

a) classification of nonverbal communication

b) the reasons why people should think about space

c) the relationship between communication and space

d) some other cultural aspects of nonverbal communication

22. how far people keep to each other while talking is closely associated with their .

b) “comfort zone” does not exist

c) keeping close enough is preferred

d) communication barriers may emerge

24. a “poker face” (line 3,para. 2) refers to a face which is .

a) attentive b) emotional c) suspicious d) expressionless

25. in a conversation between friends, americans regard it as sincere and truthful to .

a) maintain direct eye contact

b) hide emotions with a deadpan expression

c) display excitement or disgust, shock or sadness

d) raise their eyebrows,nod and smile politely

passage four

questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

we all know that dna has the ability to identify individuals but, because it is inherited, there are also regions of the dna strand which can relate an individual to his or her family (immediate and extended), tribal group and even an entire population. molecular genealogy (宗谱学) can use this unique identification provided by the genetic markers to link people together into family trees. pedigrees (家谱) based on such genetic markers can mean a breakthrough for family trees where information is incomplete or missing due to adoption, illegitimacy or lack of records. there are many communities and populations which have lost precious records due to tragic events such as the fire in the irish courts during civil war in 1921 or american slaves for whom many records were never kept in the first place.

the main objective of the molecular genealogy research group is to build a database containing over 100,000 dna samples from individuals all over the world. these individuals will have provided a pedigree chart of at least four generations and a small blood sample. once the database has enough samples to represent the world genetic make-up, it will eventually help in solving many issues regarding genealogies that could not be done by relying only on traditional written records. theoretically, any individual will someday be able to trace his or her family origins through this database.

in the meantime, as the database is being created, molecular genealogy can already verify possible or suspected relationships between individuals. “for example, if two men sharing the same last name believe that they are related, but no written record proves this relationship, we can verify this possibility by collecting a sample of dna from both and looking for common markers (in this case we can look primarily at the y chromosome (染色体)),” explains ugo a. perego, a member of the byu molecular genealogy research team.

26. people in a large area may possess the same dna thread because .

a) dna is characteristic of a region

b) they are beyond doubt of common ancestry

c) dna strand has the ability to identify individuals

d) their unique identification can be provided via dna

27. the possible research of family trees is based on the fact that .

a) genetics has achieved a breakthrough

b) genetic information contained in dna can be revealed now

c) each individual carries a unique record of who he is and how he is related to others

d) we can use dna to prove how distant an individual is to a family, a group or a population

28. the molecular genealogy research group is building a database for the purpose of .

a) offering assistance in working out genealogy-related problems

b) solving many issues without relying on traditional written records

c) providing a pedigree chart of at least four generations in the world

d) confirming the assumption that all individuals are of the same origin

29. if two men suspected for some reason they have a common ancestor, .

a) we can decide according to their family tree

b) we can find the truth from their genetic markers

Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer sheet1.

The Sky's Limit

Air travel is a rapidly growing source of greenhouse gases. But it is also an indispensable way of travel. The new A380 The double-decker A380, the biggest airliner the world has seen, landed at Heathrow last month to test whether London's main airport could handle the new 550-seater, due to enter commercial service at the end of this year. It was a proud moment for Britain's Rolls-Royce, the makers of the aircraft's Trent 900 engines. Rolls-Royce says the four Trents on the A380 are as clean and efficient as any jet engine, and produce “as much power as 3,500 family cars”. A simple calculation shows that the equivalent of more than six cars is needed to fly each passenger.

Take the calculation further: flying a fully laden A380 is, in terms of energy, like a 14km (nine-mile) queue of traffic on the road below. And that is just one aircraft. In 20 years, Airbus reckons, 1,500 such planes will be in the air. By then, the total number of airliners is expected to have doubled, to 22,000. The huge airplane alone would be pumping out carbon dioxide (CO2) at the same rate as 5 million cars.

That may not seem much compared with the 60 million vehicles that pour off assembly lines every year―or the 1 billion vehicles already on the world's roads. But whereas cars are used roughly for about an hour or so a day, jet airliners are on the move for at least 10 hours a day. And they burn tax-free, highoctane (1) 高能量的) fuel, which dumps hundreds of millions of tonnes of CO2 into the most sensitive part of the atmosphere.

Aviation is a relatively small source of the emissions blamed for global warming, but its share is growing the fastest. The evidence is strong. As a result, aviation is increasingly attracting the attention of environmentalists and politicians. Amid much controversy, CO2caps (最高限制) and carbon-trading could soon be used to help curb aircraft emissions.

Frequent flyers, free riders

Airlines are accused of having a free ride in terms of air pollution because they pay no tax on the fuel they use for international flights. Even though today's aircraft are about 70% more efficient than those of 40 years ago, concerns over emissions have grown. Despite booming demand for air travel, many airlines are losing money. Now green campaigners want people to think twice before they fly. The opposing voice is particularly loud in Europe, where low-cost carriers are expanding fast on busy shorthaul (2) 短距离) routes. The European Parliament will vote in July on a proposal to limit aircraft emissions.

America is deeply unhappy at the prospect of its airlines being affected. Sharon Pinkerton, a senior representative of the Federal Aviation Administration insisted, on a visit to Brussels last year, that American carriers should be exempted from the scheme. This sets the scene for another transatlantic aviation dispute, to add to the two bitter and long-running disputes over subsidies to Europe's Airbus and the liberalisation of air traffic between the two continents.

The airlines are growing nervous. The big international carriers represented by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) would rather Europe waited for the deliberations of a United Nations body, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), which has set technical, legal and safety rules for more than 50 years. International aviation was excluded from the Kyoto protocol on global warming, but only on condition that, by theend of 2007, countries and airlines worked under the umbrella of ICAO to come up with a way of reducing emissions through a trading scheme.

Soon after the end of the Second World War the member governments of ICAO agreed that airlines should be free of fuel taxes. Some say this was to outlaw unilateral taxes that could distort markets, but others reckon it was done to boost the fledgling airline industry emerging from the fighting. The corollary was that aviation, unlike motor traffic and other forms of transport, would pay in a transparent manner for the infrastructure and services it required-air-traffic management, landing charges, flyover rights and so on. That was supposed to take care of the external costs. But no one in those days thought much about the environment. Counting the cost It was not until 1999 that the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) attempted to reduce the effect of aviation on the environment. Transport as a whole was judged to be responsible for about a quarter of the world's CO2 discharges. That makes it one of the biggest sources, alongside power generation and households, as a source of the gas. Within transport, aviation accounts for about 13%. Its contribution to total man-made emissions worldwide is said to be around 3%. So why all the fuss about so little? One reason is that high-altitude emissions are probably disproportionately damaging to the environment. The nitrogen oxides from jet-engine exhausts lead to the formation of ozone, another greenhouse gas. Contrails (飞行云) are also suspected of enhancing the formation of cirrus clouds, which some scientists think adds to the global warming effect. The IPCC estimated that the overall impact on global warming of aircraft could be between two and four times that of their CO2 emissions alone, though there is no scientific consensus about the size of this multiplier.

Naturally, the airlines choose to measure the greenhouse gases they produce in the way that casts them in the best light ― a trick they deploy on safety statistics, too. For instance, over half of aircraft accidents occur around take-off and landing. So accidents per passenger-mile compare very favourably with other means of transport. But at least one study has shown that, if accidents are measured per journey instead, aircraft are the second-most dangerous way of travelling, after motorcycles.

Likewise on greenhouse gases. IATA says an aircraft's fuel consumption is about the same as that of a family car, at 3.5 litres per 100 passenger-kilometres. So CO2 emissions are similar. But that is true only if the aircraft is full and the car's passenger seats are empty. And even then, a jumbo jet flying from London to Sydney would be like nearly 400 Volkswagen Polos each travelling just over 16,000km―the average distance a European drives in a year. In other words, although cars and aircraft discharge roughly the same amount of CO2for each passenger-kilometre, the aircraft travel an awful lot farther. Waiting to land

Crowded airports compound the problem. Busy runways at places such as Heathrow mean aeroplanes have to circle wastefully. The possibility of being held up ensures that pilots carry extra fuel, thereby increasing the aircraft's weight and, hence, its consumption of fuel. Other small changes could further save fuel and avoid carbon emissions: aircraft could be towed everywhere on the ground by electric vehicles. Consumers, too, can take a stand by voluntarily offsetting the carbon emissions associated with flying by paying, for instance, to have trees planted.

This week IATA said the net loss of the world's airlines in the past six years would amount to almost $44 billion. Carriers have been hit by terrorism, war, recession, the respiratory disease SAILS and soaring oil prices. There were hopes the industry could make a small profit in 2007, but having to pay for environmental costs could change that. Yet global warming is not something that airlines, or any other industry, can shake off for ever. Sooner or later, aviation will have to shoulder the burden it imposes on the planet.

1. This passage is mainly about how the development of airline industry has affected the environment through its greenhouse gases emission.

2. It is predicted that in 20 years, the huge airplanes alone would be pumping out carbon dioxide at the same rate as 5 million cars.

3. The author compares the effect of airliners on the environment and that of the cars and concluded that the effect ofthe former is less because the number of airplanes is much smaller than that of the cars.

4. In the past, aviation industry was the smallest source of greenhouse gases emission and thus did not attract people's attention.

5. Many airlines are having less profit today although there are more demand for air travel. 6. America is proposing an alternative plan to solve the problem of emission from airliners.

7. The airlines are mom and more nervous, and they want the problem be considered by IATA, a United Nations body.

8. ______as a whole was judged to be responsible for about a quarter of the world's carbon dioxide discharges.

9. Although aviation accounts for only 3% of the total man-made emission, its______ are believed to be disproportionately damaging to the environment.

10. During the past six years, airline industry has been hit by terrorism, war, ______which made the industry suffer a total loss of $44 billion.

Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)

Section A

Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. The American Revolution was not a revolution in the sense of a radical or total change. It was not a sudden and (47) overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in France and Russia, (48) both were already independent nations. Significant changes were ushered in, (49) they were not breathtaking. What happened was accelerated (50) rather than outright revolution. During the conflict, people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Most of them were not (51) disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.

America's War of Independence heralded the birth of three modem nations. One was Canada, which (52) its first large influx of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the United States; (53) was Australia, which became a penal colony now that America was no longer (54) for prisoners and debtors; the third newcomer―the United States ― based itself squarely on republican principles.

Yet even the political overturn was not so (55) as one might suppose. In some states, notably Connecticut and Rhode Island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule already existing. British officials, everywhere ousted, were (56) by a home-grown governing class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and parliament.

Directions: 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] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

A study of facts and figures on development demonstrates that China has made remarkable social progress in a range of significant areas in the last 45 years.

China feeds and clothes 22 percent of the world's population with only seven percent of the world's farmland. The necessities of life food, clothing, goods for everyday use ― are now within reach of the majority of the Chinese people. Nutrition has improved greatly for both urban and rural residents.

The Chinese government has taken a series of measures to eliminate or reduce poverty, bringing down the number of poor in the rural population from 250 million in 1978 to only 80 million in 1994, even though this was a period in which China's population increased by over 100 million.

The per capita living area in cities and towns increased from 3.6 square meters in 1978 to 7.5 square meters in 1993. In rural areas the per capita housing has reached 20.8 square meters.

Educational developments have liberated millions of Chinese people from ignorance and illiteracy. In 1986 China instituted nine years of compulsory schooling, with the result that by 1993 school enrolment had reached 97.7 percent. Today, illiteracy among young and middle-aged people has dropped to only seven percent.

The state is taking measures to keep its labor force fully employed. In recent years the urban unemployment rate has remained between two and three percent. China has put strict controls on industrial pollution in an effort to improve the overall urban environment. Ecological methods of farming are being promoted and afforestation is being speeded up. In 1993 the country's forest coverage was 13.9 percent and 766 nature reserves covered a total of 661, 800 square kilometers.

China is working toward the goal of health care for everyone by the year 2000. In 1993 there were two hospital beds for every 833 people and two doctors for every 1,266 people. By now the immunization of children has reached 85 percent, and increased efforts are being made to monitor and control AIDS and venereal diseases.
