2013年 6月大學英語四級考試真題(標準卷)
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Junk food is everywhere.We’re eating way too much of it.Most of us know what we’re doing and yet we do it anyway.So here’s a suggestion offered by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lesson from alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is sold and how it’s displayed?“Many policy measures to control obesity(肥胖癥)assume that people consciously and rationally choose what and how much they eat and therefore focus on providing information and more access to healthier foods,” note the two researchers.“In contrast,” the researchers continue, “many regulations that don’t assume people make rational choices have been successfully applied to control alcohol, a substance — like food — of which immoderate consumption leads to serious health problems.”
The research references studies of people’s behavior with food and alcohol and results of alcohol restrictions, and then lists five regulations that the researchers think might be promising if applied to junk foods.Among them:
Density restrictions: licenses to sell alcohol aren’t handed out unplanned to all comers but are allotted(分配)based on the number of places in an area that already sell alcohol.These make alcohol less easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to drink.Similarly, the researchers say, being presented with junk food stimulates our desire to eat it.So why not limit the density of food outlets, particularly ones that sell food rich in empty calories? And why not limit sale of food in places that aren’t primarily food stores?
Display and sales restrictions: California has a rule prohibiting alcohol displays near the cash registers in gas stations, and in most places you can’t buy alcohol at drive-through facilities.At supermarkets, food companies pay to have their wares in places where they’re easily seen.One could remove junk food to the back of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines.The other measures include restricting portion sizes, taxing and prohibiting special price deals for junk foods, and placing warning labels on the products.57.What does the author say about junk food?
A)People should be educated not to eat too much.B)It is widely consumed despite its ill reputation.C)Its temptation is too strong for people to resist.D)It causes more harm than is generally realized.58.What do the Rand researchers think of many of the policy measures to control obesity?
A)They should be implemented effectively.B)They provide misleading information.C)They are based on wrong assumptions.D)They help people make rational choices.59.Why do policymakers of alcohol control place density restrictions?
A)Few people are able to resist alcohol’s temptations.B)There are already too many stores selling alcohol.C)Drinking strong alcohol can cause social problems.D)Easy access leads to customers’ over-consumption.60.What is the purpose of California’s rule about alcohol display in gas stations?
A)To effectively limit the density of alcohol outlets.B)To help drivers to give up the habit of drinking.C)To prevent possible traffic jams in nearby areas.D)To get alcohol out of drivers’ immediate sight.61.What is the general guideline the Rand researchers suggest about junk food control?
A)Guiding people to make rational choices about food.B)Enhancing people’s awareness of their own health.C)Borrowing ideas from alcohol control measures.D)Resorting to economic, legal and psychological means.Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Kodak’s decision to file for bankruptcy(破產(chǎn))protection is a sad, though not unexpected, turning point for a leading American corporation that pioneered consumer photography and dominated the film market for decades, but ultimately failed to adapt to the digital revolution.Although many attribute Kodak’s downfall to “complacency(自滿),” that explanation doesn’t acknow-ledge the lengths to which the company went to reinvent itself.Decades ago, Kodak anticipated that digital photography would overtake film — and in fact, Kodak invented the first digital camera in 1975 — but in a fateful decision, the company chose to shelf its new discovery to focus on its traditional film business.It wasn’t that Kodak was blind to the future, said Rebecca Henderson, a professor at Harvard Business School, but rather that it failed to execute on a strategy to confront it.By the time the company realized its mistake, it was too late.Kodak is an example of a firm that was very much aware that they had to adapt, and spent a lot of money trying to do so, but ultimately failed.Large companies have a difficult time switching into new markets because there is a temptation to put existing assets into the new businesses.Although Kodak anticipated the inevitable rise of digital photography, its corporate(企業(yè)的)culture was too rooted in the successes of the past for it to make the clean break necessary to fully embrace the future.They were a company stuck in time.Their history was so important to them.Now their history has become a liability.Kodak’s downfall over the last several decades was dramatic.In 1976, the company commanded 90% of the market for photographic film and 85% of the market for cameras.But the 1980s brought new competition from Japanese film company Fuji Photo, which undermined Kodak by offering lower prices for film and photo supplies.Kodak’s decision not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was a major miscalculation.The bid went instead to Fuji, which exploited its sponsorship to win a permanent foothold in the marketplace.62.What do we learn about Kodak?
A)It went bankrupt all of a sudden.B)It is approaching its downfall.C)It initiated the digital revolution in the film industry.D)It is playing a dominant role in the film market.63.Why does the author mention Kodak’s invention of the first digital camera?
A)To show its early attempt to reinvent itself.B)To show its effort to overcome complacency.C)To show its quick adaptation to the digital revolution.D)To show its will to compete with Japan’s Fuji photo.64.Why do large companies have difficulty switching to new markets?
A)They find it costly to give up their existing assets.B)They tend to be slow in confronting new challenges.C)They are unwilling to invest in new technology.D)They are deeply stuck in their glorious past.65.What does the author say Kodak’s history has become?
A)A burden.B)A mirror.C)A joke.D)A challenge.66.What was Kodak’s fatal mistake?
A)Its blind faith in traditional photography.B)Its failure to see Fuji photo’s emergence.C)Its refusal to sponsor the 1984 Olympics.D)Its overconfidence in its corporate culture.

On Excessive Packaging
Nowadays the phenomena of excessive packaging of goods are prevailing in our society: clothes swathed in tissue paper, placed in cardboard box and finally wrapped in well-designed plastic bags, imported bottles of grape wine packed in wooden boxes, fruits put in hand-woven baskets, to name but a few.There are several causes of excessive packaging.The first reason is that a large number of companies believe that they can attract customers’ attention and stimulate their purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus gaining more profits.On the other hand, quite a number of consumers mistakenly hold that the more delicate the package is, the better the quality will be, thus encouraging excessive packaging.In my point of view, excessive packaging has disastrous consequences, including the loss of precious resources, excessive consumption of water and energy, and unnecessary extraction of scarce land for landfill.To solve the problem, it’s necessary to take the following measures.First, laws and regulations must be made to restrict excessive packaging of companies.In addition, we need to raise consumer’s awareness that excessive packaging doesn’t equal to high quality and advocate packaging recycling.【解析】

Directions: You're allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will by commenting on the humorous saying, “Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world.I’ve done it hundreds of time.”You'd write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.Outlines:
1.堅強的意志是成功的重要保證。
2.意志堅定的人才能完成偉大的使命,3.學生也是這樣,不刻苦學習,終究不會成為有用之才
Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will
With the coming of a brand new era full of opportunities and innovations, the issue of how to succeed has aroused growing concern in the public.Although there are thousands of ways to success, in my opinion, a strong will is the important guarantee of success, just as a proverb says, “Where there is a will there is a way”.The long history of human being has proved that only those who have a strong will can fulfill great mission and achieve success at last.Nothing succeeds without a strong will.Take Mao Zedong, one of the great founders of the People’s Republic of China, as an example.If without the strong will to save Chinese people from heavy disaster and build a prosperous, democratic and civilized new country, how could he drive Japanese out of China and become such a famous leader in the world?
If we as a student want to be successful in the future, the strong will on hardworking is the most important.Nowadays, we have been entering an information age with rapid update of knowledge.Who firstly seizes and keeps up with the development of advanced information can succeeds at last.Therefore, studying hard to get more knowledge and improve our ability to handle complicated problems as possible is the only way to lay the solid foundation of future success.Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will
“Where there is a will, there is way” is an old proverb which almost everyone knows, but not all understand it so well.Actually, it means that if you are really resolved to do something, no matter how difficult it might be, never give up.In fact, strong will is a kind of good quality which successful people should own.A great man is always one who has a firm resolution and an inflexible spirit.One will never succeed all his life without a firm will to get the final victory.As a rule, great tasks are accomplished by men of strong will.For example, Dr.Sun Yatsen, the founder of the Republic of China, set the Chinese people free from the Manchurian rule through a long period of hard struggle.Many of his attempts failed and many of his followers were killed, but he had an inflexible spirit and stuck to his cause.Finally, he made the revolution of 1911 a success.The same is true of men in all walks of life.It is quite obvious that there is nothing difficult in the world, if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end.That stands to reason.So as for students like us, we should have a good attitude towards failure.Facing with difficulties and failures, keep heads up and never give up.Besides, we should make full preparation, though strong will help us overcome the difficulties, it is not for person who has no preparation.2011年6月大學英語四級考試

Doing Shopping Online
With the development of the Internet, shopping is no longer a tiring thing.Just click your mouse to choose the articles you like, and the purchase is done.You don't even have to step out of the room.It seems all easy and quick.However, people's opinions vary on this trend.Some believe that on line shopping is time and money saving.With plentiful selection options, they can buy whatever they like at any time convenient.Still others insist that mis-purchasing alone is annoying enough, not to mention the credibility of the sellers and the safety of their accounts.In my opinion, the convenience and excitement of on line shopping is beyond all doubts.In the meantime, we must always bear in mind that certain traps do exist, so we'd better make sure the sellers are trustworthy before buying.In addition, we should also guard ourselves from the potential hackers who might steal our account information.文章點評:
這是一篇“中等偏上”的學生作文。本文先對網(wǎng)購熱潮進行簡介,引出全篇;接著對網(wǎng)絡購物的正反兩方面進行對比;最后提出自己的看法結(jié)束全篇。整體看思路清晰,邏輯嚴密,行文流暢,用語較為地道。
下面說一下這篇文章的有待提高之處:
1.文章結(jié)構(gòu)上,能看得出該同學試圖采用議論文的“三段式”(提出問題、分析問題、解決問題)。但是,以“With the development of the Internet”為開首語,有些落入俗套,有硬套模板的嫌疑。稍加注意,應該能寫出更好的句子。

Due Attention Should Be Given to Spelling
1.如今不少學生在英語(論壇)學習中不重視拼寫,2.出現(xiàn)這種現(xiàn)象的原因是…
3.為了改變這種狀況,我認為….Nowadays, students attach little importance to the spelling of words in the process of English study.This phenomenon greatly influences students’ writing and brings on worries among teachers.There are possibly three reasons contributing to this phenomenon.First, exam-oriented education makes students pay little attention to spelling.Second, some teachers should also be responsible for it because they don’t emphasize the importance of spelling during teaching.Last but not least, some students are too lazy to recite words.Since spelling is one of the most important factors in English study, due attention should be given to it.As I see it, first, exams should be modified to add spelling into it.Then, schools should establish effective mechanisms to help teachers as well as students to realize the importance.Finally, students should be interested in word spelling.Only in this way, can we surely realize the importance of spelling and make improvement.2009年12月大學英語四級作文

Education, which gets children ready for challenges in the future, is of vital importance to them.Nowadays, more and more parents tend to send their kids to art classes to make sure that they will maintain an advantageous position in the increasingly fierce competition, which has given rise to a wide range of controversy.Some people support this idea, arguing that it will give the children a well-rounded education.In contrast, those who criticize the idea contend that it will do harm to the children rather than benefit them.From my point of view, the above-mentioned issue should be approached through a thorough analysis of the specific situation at hand.On one handclasses.Firstly, art classes can provide the kids with an effective way to relax themselves after a whole day’s tedious study.By listening to music or drawing some pictures, they can relax themselvesand return to study with renewed vigor.Secondly, children will have more opportunities to learn a different kind of culture if they take art classes.By being exposed to art, they are able to broaden their horizons.As a matter of fact, many subjects are interrelated(at)such a tight level that the study of one subject may help that of another.For example, the practice of drawing pictures may promote children’s understanding of geometry and math.Thirdly, children will have more chance to make different kinds of friends by taking art classes, which is very important to their mental health.On the other hand, parents should never force their children to take art classes if they show no interest or talent in art.Children may feel depressed or even refuse to take other classes if they are forced to learn art lessons against their own will.Only when they are indeed interested in art can we
In conclusion, whether parents should send their children to art classes should be determined by children’s interests.If they like, we may let them take the classes.But if they have no interest, parents should respect their will.(368 words)

Free Admission to Museums?
An increasing number of museums are open to the public for free in our daily life nowadays.However, no consensus is reached among the public on the influence it brings about on the museums and the visitors involved.Some people hold the opinion that free admission to museums will contribute to numerous problems ranging from the spoiling of the environment to the damage to the facilities of the museums.It is known that some visitors will throw away the garbage here and there, which will do great damage to the surroundings of the museums.What’s worse, it will take a lot of time and effort for the museums to fix the facilities destroyed by the little kids who come to the museum without company of their parents.However, there are different opinions on whether visitors should enjoy free admission or not.Some people maintain that visitors can acquire new knowledge and enrich their lives by visiting various museums.As far as I am concerned, just as every coin has two sides, it is true to the above phenomenon.Therefore, we are expected to take measures to educate the public to observe the rules and regulations when visiting the museums.Thus, more and more individuals will enjoy a favorable environment.2008年6月21日四級作文題目:

Recreational Activities
In people’s daily life, there are various recreational activities apart from studying or working, ranging from Karaoke or dancing to computer games or sports games.Such activities are beneficial as well as harmful to us.On one hand, they can help us not only build our body and mind but also improve our communication and understanding with friends because most of these activities are done with others.On the other hand, if we spend too much time on singing, dancing or other games, we might fail to concentrate on our duties such as studying or working, which in turn may lead to further consequences.As far as I’m concerned, recreational activities should be done within a certain limit so that we can keep a proper balance between recreation and studying or working life.

You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words。(注意寫作要求)
[參考范文]
(一)It cannot be denied(There is no denying/doubt)that reading plays a key role in people’s growth and development in any era(年代)。The 21th century is a time of knowledge explosion and reading ability becomes increasingly important。(開頭引出話題)

Based on this concrete and meaningful question,some steps should be taken。First and foremost,the main growth in your reading skill and ability will come from reading as much as you can do。Try to make a book list that you take interest in and make a practical plan。Just as the proverb goes that,“Don’t bite off more than one can chew?!?Furthermore,a mastery(掌握精通)of some reading skills is not only significant,but also indispensable(不可缺少的)。Some books are fit to do extensive(廣泛的)reading while some others are suitable to do intensive reading(精讀)。(In English study,intensive reading must be combined with extensive reading.)Meanwhile,other reading skills like skipping and skimming are also necessary。(中間段闡述如何采取措施/著重分析提升讀書能力的措施)

[評析]
本次四級考試作文難度適中,看得出來四級考試作文越來越和考研作文話題接軌。例如本次考試的話題reading ability 就和2015年考研寫作一的大作文讀書話題不謀而合。按照慣例,仍然是“三段論”,最多不要超過四段,除非提綱中有點明“entitled”字眼,否則標題可寫可不寫,但是寫錯一定會扣分。寫標題時,要遵循寫作格式,標題首字母和實詞首字母大寫,而標題中的虛詞字母是小寫的。
