第一篇：2011年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)真題及答案解析完整版

Part I Writing

【標(biāo)準(zhǔn)版】Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will

Nothing runs smoothly in our life.To achieve things successfully, a strong will is essential.Life is like a Marathon.Many people can’t get to the terminal.This is not because they are lack of vitality but because their will of success is not strong enough.To take quitting smoking as an example, some regard it as a piece of cake.They make up their minds to quit it in the morning, but in the evening they feel that the smell of cigarettes is tempting.Their throats are sore, their mouths are thirsty, and their hands are shaking.After the painful mental struggle, they tell themselves that “One cigarette is enough.Just take one, and the next day I will quit it.” By doing this, they surrender to their weak will.In the end, they have quitted smoking “a hundred times”, but in no time they succeed.Just like quitting smoking, nothing succeeds without a strong will.To be successful in one’s life, a strong will means that you know where you go and you will persist on the road you choose.Undoubtedly success belongs to those who overcome their weak will and who hang in there until the last minute.【高分版】Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will

As we have read from above, quitting-smoking seems easy, but in reality it is rarely achieved.There is something provoking and interesting in this paradox, just because sword does not wear the stone as dripping water does.The ability to do something over and over again in a short time may imply its easiness, but in a long run, a lifetime maybe, things turn out to be quite the opposite.Also, as is often the case, one may have obtained all the tools and opportunities to achieve something, but in the end they still fail due to the will shortage.So how could we avoid the dilemma? Here is the prime condition of success: will and perseverance.Concentrate you energy, thought and mind exclusively on the business in which you are engaged, hang on in there and be patient, for, as Emerson put it, no one can cheat you out of your ultimate success but yourself.Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)

Section C

Compound Dictation

Our lives are woven together.As much as I enjoy my own company, I no longer imagine I can get through a single day much less all my life completely on my own.Even if I am on vacation in the mountains, I am eating food someone else has grown, living in a house someone else has built, wearing clothes someone else has sewn from cloth woven by others, using electricity someone else is distributing to my house.Evidence of interdependence is everywhere;we are on this journey together.As I was growing up, I remember being carefully taught that independence not interdependence was everything.“Make your own way”,” Stand on your own two feet” or my mother’s favorite remark when I was face-to-face with consequences of some action: Now that you’ve made your bed, lie on it.Total independence is a dominant thing in our culture.I imagine that what my parents were trying to teach me was to take responsibilities for my actions and my choices.But the teaching was shaped by our cultural imagines.And instead, I grew up believing that I was supposed to be totally independent and consequently became very reluctant to ask for help.I would do almost anything not to be a burden, and not require any help from anybody.PART 4

2012年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)真題答案解析

Part I Writing

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)版：

The above bar chart clearly shows us education pays in 2010.We see that one with higher education background earns more money weekly than those with lower ones.For instance, the college students with no degree get paid$712 per week whereas those with a Bachelor’s degree can earn $1038.Several reasons, in my opinion, can be identified to account for this phenomenon.To begin with, compared with those with comparatively lower education degree, people who have received higher education possess considerably wider knowledge, more remarkable learning and research ability, greater innovation and most of all, resourceful social network, all of which are essential to a high-income work.Also, the higher one’s education degree is, the bigger platform he will have to show his ability.For example, his college, university, or research institute will organize various job fairs for them to communicate face to face with employers.This phenomenon tells us that education is a worthy investment.Therefore, substantial education investment should be strengthened while we, as college students, should study harder to build our country and strive for a better life for ourselves.高分版：

Education Pays

Judging from the table, we can see that people’s income increases along with their education levels.Above all，the average college graduates earn much more than the typical high-school graduates.The fact revealed by these data is obvious: a degree does bring distinctive financial benefits to its holders.But is it true that a degree alone can ensure a bright future? I don’t think so because, on the one hand, the financial value of high education depends heavily on what skills graduates can gain from it instead of the degree itself.After all, an employer only pays for your ability and performance, not for your certificate.On the other hand, the most valuable bless high education brings to graduates is the ability to learn quickly and efficiently.People received more education tend to keep lifelong learning habits after their graduation, which would help them gain more opportunities in their career path.In conclusion, what accounts for education pays is not the degree alone, but the graduate’s ability and leaning habit.作文B：標(biāo)準(zhǔn)版：

Education Pays

The above bar chart clearly shows us education pays in 2010.We see that unemployment rate of those with higher education background is much lower than those with lower education degree.For instance, the unemployment rate of college students with no degree is as high as 14.9% while that of those with doctoral degree is only 1.9%.The followingreason, in my opinion, is the most important one to account for this phenomenon.Compared with those with comparatively lower education degree, people who have received higher education possess considerably wider knowledge, more remarkable learning and research ability, greater innovation and most of all, resourceful social network, all of which make them more qualified and competent for their task.Thus, they are less likely to lose their jobs.This phenomenon tells us that education is a worthy investment.Therefore, education investment should be strengthened while we, as college students, should study harder to avoid unemployment.高分版：

Education Pays

As is shown in the table, the unemployment rate decreases steadily as the education level increases.The fact revealed by the statistics is obvious: graduates with a degree are less likely to be unemployed.What has brought about this effect? I believe there are three main reasons.To begin with, the education level is still the top factor that employers would take into account when selecting job candidates.It is believed that people with a college degree tend to be more intelligent and qualified.In addition, as a result of good learning habit formed during college, job hunters with high education background are also more efficient in acquiring and processing job hunting information.Finally, college education equips graduates with specialized skills, leading to greater attachment to the company they are employed and higher possibility to be reemployed even if they leave their previous company.In conclusion, it is the qualifications, learning habit and specialized skills that high education equip a graduate that make one distinctive in labor market.【標(biāo)準(zhǔn)版點(diǎn)評(píng)】

這次四級(jí)作文出了圖表題，可能讓大家有些意外，但是四六級(jí)考察圖表作文已經(jīng)并不是第一次，早在2002年的時(shí)候就已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)過(guò)，是圖表+提綱的形式，圖表反應(yīng)的是大學(xué)生使用計(jì)算機(jī)的情況。由于備考時(shí)大家只是關(guān)注近幾年的題型，可能沒(méi)有關(guān)注到以往考察過(guò)圖表作文。

我們?cè)趥淇甲魑牡臅r(shí)候，一般會(huì)從以下幾個(gè)方面著手準(zhǔn)備，如何描述現(xiàn)象、如何分析原因、如何分析影響、如何給出解決措施、如何進(jìn)行觀點(diǎn)論戰(zhàn)等。其實(shí)，圖表作文也是從這幾個(gè)方面展開(kāi)，只是將第一段的描述現(xiàn)象改為描述圖表即可?？梢?jiàn)，無(wú)論是考察哪種作文題，我們都可以將它轉(zhuǎn)化為我們熟悉的提綱式。

這次作文題目有兩個(gè)版本。題目都是Educational Pays（教育回報(bào)），一個(gè)版本的圖表顯示的是教育水平越高，收入越高，另一個(gè)版本的圖表顯示的是教育水平越高，失業(yè)率越低。

雖然圖表描述的具體內(nèi)容不同，但主題是一致的：教育是值得投資的。寫(xiě)作思路也是一致的。

兩篇范文都是采取三段式的描述方法。

第一段：描述圖表。先一句話引出圖表總體內(nèi)容The above bar chart clearly shows us ? 然后具體描述現(xiàn)象We see that?。最后用for instance引出一些具體數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)例證現(xiàn)象。

第二段：分析原因。先寫(xiě)一個(gè)引出原因的句子，然后具體列舉一到兩個(gè)原因即可。由于字?jǐn)?shù)限制，原因不必列太多。

第三段：給出建議。先是總結(jié)這個(gè)現(xiàn)象This phenomenon tells us that education is a worthy investment.（教育值得投資）。然后是建議國(guó)家增大教育投資，以及個(gè)人要努力學(xué)習(xí)。

這種三段式的寫(xiě)作模式容易掌握，在考場(chǎng)中比較實(shí)用，建議大家仿寫(xiě)。

【高分版點(diǎn)評(píng)】

本次四級(jí)作文圍繞著同一個(gè)話題，education pay（教育回報(bào)），出現(xiàn)了兩個(gè)版本，一個(gè)是教育和失業(yè)率的關(guān)系，另一個(gè)是教育和收入的關(guān)系。就話題而言，命題難度并不高，選用的是貼近考生實(shí)際生活的熟悉話題。形式上則采取圖表作文的形式，圖表作文在四級(jí)考試中較少出現(xiàn)，很多考生可能剛拿到題目會(huì)束手無(wú)策，但是只要考生仔細(xì)閱讀題目，就不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，除了需要簡(jiǎn)單描述圖表之外，其寫(xiě)作思路和話題作文非常類(lèi)似。

寫(xiě)好這篇作文，主要抓住三點(diǎn)：

首先，描述圖表內(nèi)容。對(duì)于柱狀圖，抓住橫抽和縱軸之間的關(guān)系，對(duì)數(shù)字的變化趨勢(shì)進(jìn)行總體描述即可。用詞不宜超過(guò)總字?jǐn)?shù)的1/3。

其次，要一句話揭示圖表背后的隱含意思，引入文章的立意。

最后，文章的立意可以采取兩種思路，保守的寫(xiě)法是直接闡釋產(chǎn)生現(xiàn)象的原因，如寫(xiě)失業(yè)率那篇范文；另一個(gè)則是，根據(jù)圖表上的結(jié)果，借題發(fā)揮，發(fā)表自己的觀點(diǎn)，如寫(xiě)收入的那篇范文。

Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)

1.B showmanship 細(xì)節(jié)題。這道題的答案對(duì)應(yīng)原文第一句話，從putting on a show 可以推出showmanship。

when it came to putting on a show, nobody else in the computer industry, or any other industry for that matter, could match Steve Jobs.題干與原文的匹配度比較高，仔細(xì)閱讀不難得出選擇是B

2.A

He invented lots of functional gadgets.細(xì)節(jié)題。原文第2段第2句話提到了喬布斯突出的三個(gè)方面，第三句話明確指出最后一個(gè)方面，也就是他在functional gadgets 上的貢獻(xiàn)對(duì)人們的生活影響最大，對(duì)比第二題的選項(xiàng)，應(yīng)選A

He stood out in three ways—as a technologist, as a corporate leader and as somebody who was able to make people love what had previously been impersonal, functional gadgets.Strangely, it is this last quality that may have the deepest effect on the way people live.3.B His keen interest in designing elegant and user-friendly gadgets.細(xì)節(jié)題。答案在第三段第二句，“obsessed with product design and aesthetics, and with making advanced technology simple to use”。講到喬布斯癡迷于產(chǎn)品的設(shè)計(jì)和美學(xué)上，以及使高科技簡(jiǎn)單易用。所以選B

As a technologist, Mr Jobs was different because he was not an engineer—and that was his great strength.Instead he was obsessed with product design and aesthetics, and with making advanced technology simple to use.4.A

One of the greatest chief executives of his time.細(xì)節(jié)題。答案在第4段第一句話的后半句“many of those corporate giants as one of the greatest chief executives of his time.”所以選A，其他的選項(xiàng)均不正確。

Within the wider business world, a man who liked to see himself as a hippy, permanently in revolt against big companies, ended up being hailed by many of those corporate giants as one of the greatest chief executives of his time.5.D an inspiration

細(xì)節(jié)題。答案在第四段第三句話。“is an inspiration to any businessperson”。所以選D

His fall from grace in the 1980s, followed by his return to Apple in 1996 after a period in the wilderness, is an inspiration to any businessperson whose career has taken a turn for the worse.‘

6.C He commanded absolute loyalty from Apple users.細(xì)節(jié)題。由關(guān)鍵詞fanatical loyalty 定位到低段第一句話。所以喬布斯成功最令人震驚的地方在于它獲得了蘋(píng)果用戶的絕對(duì)忠誠(chéng)。選C

But what was perhaps most astonishing about Mr Jobs was the fanatical loyalty he managed to inspire in customers.7.D It originates in the consumer market.細(xì)節(jié)題。由關(guān)鍵詞special report定位到第6段第一句，As our special report in this week's issue(printed before Mr Jobs's death)explains, innovation used to spill over from military and corporate laboratories to the consumer market, but lately this process has gone into reverse.Many people's homes now have more powerful, and more flexible, devices than their offices do;consumer gizmos and online services are smarter and easier to use than most companies' systems.過(guò)去創(chuàng)新是從部隊(duì)和公司實(shí)驗(yàn)室再拓展到消費(fèi)者市場(chǎng)，現(xiàn)在的情況是反過(guò)來(lái)。所以選D

8.closed and inflexible

細(xì)節(jié)題。由關(guān)鍵詞 “critics complained”定位到第七段第一句，可知空格處應(yīng)填寫(xiě)“closed and inflexible”。

Mr Jobs had a reputation as a control freak, and his critics complained that the products and systems he designed were closed and inflexible, in the name of greater ease of use.9.combined

細(xì)節(jié)題，由關(guān)鍵詞“Amazon”定位到原文第8段，所以空格處填combined。

At the recent unveiling of a tablet computer by Jeff Bezos of Amazon, whose company is doing the best job of following Apple's lead in combining hardware, software, content and services in an easy-to-use bundle，10.reshaping entire industries

細(xì)節(jié)題，由關(guān)鍵詞the magic of computing定位到原文最后一段，空格處填reshaping entire industries.But in the end he conjured up a reality of his own, channelling the magic of computing into products that reshaped entire industries.Part III Listening Comprehension

Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard

W: May I see your license, please?

M: But officer, did I do something wrong?

W: Do you mean to say you didn’t see the speed limit sign back there?

M: Um, no, madam, I guess I didn’t.W: In other words, you drove by too fast to read it.The sign says 35m/h.A school is just nearby, you know?

M: Don’t get me wrong, but my speedometer didn’t read much faster than that.W: Then, why is it that my radar showed you are going 45? Let me put it another way.I’m going to give you a ticket.Again, may I see your license, please?

M: Here it is, officer.But let me explain.I was late for an important appointment and I was worried that I wouldn’t make it on time.So...W: Uha, just a minute, here.Your license is no longer valid.You should have renewed it two weeks ago.I’m going to have to write you up for that, too.M: What? Really?

W: Your license becomes invalid on your birthday and that was two weeks ago according to the date here.You are in violation of the law—driving without a valid license.M: I’m sorry, madam.I hadn’t realized that.W: Here’s the ticket for not having a valid license.But I’m only going to give you a warning about exceeding the speed limit.Be careful next time.M: Yes, madam, officer, I will.Thank you.Q22.Where was the man stopped by the police officer?

Since I started working part-time at a grocery store, I have learned that a customer is more than someone who buy something.To me, a customer is a person whose memory fails entirely once he or she starts to push a shopping card.One of the first things customers forget is how to count.There is no other way to explain how so many people get in their express line, which is clearly marked 15 items or less, with 20, 25 or even a cart load of items.Customers also forget why they came to the store in the first place.Just as I finish ringing up an order, a customer will say, “Oops, I forgot to pick up a fresh loaf of bread.I hope you don’t mind waiting while I go get it.” Five minutes later, he’s back with the bread, a bottle of milk, and three rolls of paper towels.Strange is that seems customers also seem to forget that they have to pay for their groceries.Instead of writing a check or looking for a credit card while I am ringing up the groceries, my customers will wait until I announce the total.Then, in surprise, she says, “Oh no, what did I do with my check book?” After 5 minutes of digging through her purse, she borrows my pen because she’s forgotten hers.But I have to be tolerant of customers because they pay my salary, and that’s something I can’t afford to forget.Q26.What does the speaker say about customers’ entering the grocery store?

答案：A.They behave as if their memories have failed totally.Q27.Which customers are supposed to be in the express line?

答案： D.Those with 15 items or less.Q28.What does the speaker say some customers do when they arrive at the check-out counter?

答案：B.Go back and pick up more items.Q29.What does the speaker say about his job at the end of the talk?

答案： A.It requires tolerance.點(diǎn)評(píng)：本篇短文主要講述了作者在一家雜貨店兼職工作的經(jīng)歷和感受，并深刻地體會(huì)到顧客不僅僅是來(lái)商店買(mǎi)東西的人。作者認(rèn)為，當(dāng)顧客推起一輛購(gòu)物車(chē)時(shí)，所有的事情就拋之腦后了。他們不會(huì)算計(jì)一件商品值多少錢(qián)，他們忘了自己來(lái)商店要買(mǎi)什么，他們甚至忘記要為商品付錢(qián)，他們不知道東西買(mǎi)夠沒(méi)有就去收銀臺(tái)排隊(duì)結(jié)賬，當(dāng)收銀員開(kāi)始掃顧客的商品時(shí)，顧客又會(huì)跑回去拿很多商品回來(lái)，更需要收銀員提醒付錢(qián)，但這都是作者作為收銀員所應(yīng)忍受的，因?yàn)椤邦櫩褪巧系邸?，這是作者不敢忘記也是從這次經(jīng)歷中學(xué)到的事情。

這篇文章基本上沒(méi)有生僻的詞匯，以敘述為主。但是其中有幾個(gè)短語(yǔ)需要關(guān)注：grocery store意為“雜貨店”；ring up意為“用收銀機(jī)記錄收入的錢(qián)，收銀機(jī)掃條形碼”；credit card意為“信用卡”。理解了這些詞，對(duì)聽(tīng)力的整體理解會(huì)有提升。Passage 2

The speech delivery style of Europeans and Asians tends to be very formal.Speakers of these cultures often read oral presentations from carefully retain manual scripts.On the other hand, American speakers are generally more informal relative to speakers and other cultures.American audiences prefernatural, spontaneous delivery that conveys a lively sense of communication.They don’t relay well to speakers who read from a manual script.If you use an outline of your ideas instead of a prepare text, your speech will not only sound more natural, but you will also be able to establish better relationship with your listeners and keep their attention.The language and style you use when making an oral presentation should not be the same as the language in style you use when writing.Well retain information, that is meant to be read, does not work aswell when it is heard.It is, therefore, important for you to adapt retain texts or outlines for presentations.Good speakers are much more informal when speaking than when writing.They also use their own words and develop their own speaking styles.Whenever possible, they use short words.Listeners are appreciated when speakers use simple, everyday words in a presentation.One advantage is that it is much easier for speakers to pronounce short words correctly.Another is that long and sophisticated vocabulary choices make listening more difficult.Question 30 to 32

30.What does the speaker say American audiences prefer?

答案：D.A natural and spontaneous style of speech.31.What should one pay attention to when making an oral presentation?

A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time.If corrected too much, he will stop talking.He compares a thousand times a day the difference between language as he uses it and language as those around him use it.Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s.In the same way, kids learning to do all the other things they learn without adult teachers, to walk, run, climb, ride a bike, play games, compare their own performance with what more skilled people do, and slowly make the needed changes.But in school we never give a child a chance to detect his mistakes.We do it all for him.We act as if we thought he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him.Soon he becomes dependent on the expert.We should let him do it himself.Let him figure out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what is the answer to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or that.If right answers need to be given, as in mathematics or science, give him the answer book.Let him correct his own papers.Why should we teachers waste time on such tedious work? Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that they can’t find the way to get the right answer.Question 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q33 How does a child learn to do something according to the speaker?

答案：D.By comparing his performance with others.Q34 What belief do teachers commonly hold according to the speaker?

Section C

Time is, for the average American, of utmost importance.To the foreign visitor, Americans seem to be more concerned with getting things accomplished on time(according to a predetermined schedule)than they are with developing deep interpersonal relations.Schedules, for the American, are meant to be planned and then followed in the smallest detail.It may seem to you that most Americans are completely controlled by the little machines they wear on their wrists, cutting their discussions off abruptly to make it to their next appointment on time.Americans’ language is filled with references to time, giving a clear indication of how much it is valued.Time is something to be “on,” to be “kept,” “filled,” “saved,” “wasted,” “gained,”

“planned,” “given,” “made the most of,” even “killed.”

The international visitor soon learns that it is considered very rude to be late--even by 10 minutes--for an appointment in America.Time is so valued in America, because by considering time to be important one can clearly achieve more than if one “wastes” time and doesn’t keep busy.This philosophy has proven its worth.It has enabled Americans to be extremely productive, and productivity itself is highly valued in America.Many American proverbs stress the value of guarding time, using it wisely, and setting and working toward specific goals.Americans believe in spending their time and energy today so that the fruits of their labor may be enjoyed at a later time.答案：

這是一篇新聞報(bào)道類(lèi)的文章，關(guān)于美國(guó)一些著名餐公司開(kāi)始意識(shí)到快餐對(duì)對(duì)其青少年健康的不良影響，并開(kāi)始采取相應(yīng)措施改變這一現(xiàn)狀。這是美國(guó)最近的熱門(mén)話題，滬江經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人新聞聽(tīng)寫(xiě)12月16日的的聽(tīng)寫(xiě)內(nèi)容關(guān)于麥當(dāng)勞的一篇文章與之就是類(lèi)似的主題。對(duì)于考生來(lái)說(shuō)這一話題也并不陌生，從內(nèi)容上來(lái)還是比較容易理解的。

47.N take a cue from 固定搭配，表示按?的指點(diǎn)行事。

48.D 在快餐在兒童中引起肥胖癥的現(xiàn)象受到越來(lái)越多關(guān)注的背景之下，19家公司宣誓將為兒童提供更多健康的菜單選擇，結(jié)合上下文可知空格處應(yīng)填concern

49.M 因?yàn)樯弦欢蝿倓偺岬娇觳鸵饍和逝值膯?wèn)題獲得了越來(lái)越多的重視，第2段順承上面的內(nèi)容，講到漢堡王采取的相應(yīng)措施：將從本月起停止提供兒童快餐里的炸薯?xiàng)l和蘇打汽水.所以填stop。

50前面說(shuō)了將停止提供兒童快餐里的炸薯?xiàng)l和蘇打汽水，根據(jù)although知道內(nèi)容上應(yīng)該是一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折，所以后面應(yīng)該是still available，仍然可以買(mǎi)得到。

51.這句話涉及到一個(gè)比較，whether...or, 選項(xiàng)中只有prefer一個(gè)課用于比較，所以空格處填prefer.52.這是緊接著上一句的，上面剛剛講到問(wèn)顧客是選擇套餐時(shí)是更喜歡選牛奶還是蘋(píng)果片，這是一種將顧客的需求具體化，所以填specify。

53.a variety of 固定搭配，各種各樣的。在這句話中是指其他參與將為美國(guó)兒童提供更健康的事物的快餐店，也提供各種各樣的菜單選擇。

54.結(jié)合上下文可知，(Kid Live Well)“讓孩子們生活的更好”運(yùn)動(dòng)應(yīng)該是全國(guó)范圍內(nèi)展開(kāi)的一場(chǎng)大型運(yùn)動(dòng)，所以填nationwide。

通過(guò)第三段第一句話的后半句可以看出，兒童的每頓飯中要包含冒號(hào)之后部分的食物中的至少兩項(xiàng)，所以55空填item，指的是后面的選項(xiàng)。

56.前面提到的食物都是低脂、第卡路里的健康食物，最后一句中提到在其他的要求中，餐館提供的附加菜必須滿足同樣的要求, 所以填criteria

Section B

As you are probably aware, the latest job markets news isn’t good: Unemployment is still more than 9 percent, and new job growth has fallen close to zero.That’s bad for the economy, of course.And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now.But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you think.That’s because job growth numbers don’t matter to job hunters as much as job turnover data.After all, existing jobs open up every day due to promotions, resignations, terminations, and retirements.(Yes, people are retiring even in this economy.)In both good times and bad, turnover creates more openings than economic growth does.Even in June of 2007, when the economy was still humming along, job growth was only 132,000, while turnover was 4.7 million!

And as it turns out, even today — with job growth near zero — over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month.I don’t mean to imply that overall job growth doesn’t have an impact on one’s ability to land a job.It’s true that if total employment were higher, it would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from(and compete for).And it’s true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening, regardless of whether it’s a new one or not.But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don’t is their ability to stay motivated.They’re willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills;be creative about where and how to look;learn how to present themselves to potential employers;and keep going, even after repeated rejections.The Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that 2.7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn’t looked within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up.Four million people get hired every month in the U.S.You can be one of them.57.The author tends to believe that high unemployment rate ______?

A)deprives many people of job opportunities.B)prevents many people from changing careers.C)should not stop people from looking for a job.D)does not mean the U.S.economy is worsening.58.Where do most job openings come from?

A)Job growth

B)Job turnover

C)Improved economy

D)Business expansion

59.What does the author say about overall job growth?

A)It doesn’t have much effect on individual job seekers.B)It increases people’s confidence in the economy.C)It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed.D)It doesn’t mean greater job security for the employed.60.What is the key to landing a job according to the author?

A)Education

B)Intelligence

C)Persistence

D)Experience

61.What do we learn from the passage about the unemployment figures in the US?

A)They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is.B)They provide the public with the latest information.C)They warn of the structural problems in the economy.D)They exclude those who have stopped looking for a job.SB__1答案

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本篇文章選自TIME周刊的財(cái)經(jīng)板塊，原文標(biāo)題為“Why Job Hunters Shouldn’t Worry So Much About Paltry Job Growth”，文章主要表達(dá)了這樣一種觀點(diǎn)，即找工作的人不必太在意官方提供的高失業(yè)率，就業(yè)增長(zhǎng)等數(shù)據(jù)，原因在于這些并不等說(shuō)明現(xiàn)實(shí)情況，比如：人員更替帶來(lái)了更多的職位空缺，因此，即便是經(jīng)濟(jì)增速緩慢，就業(yè)增長(zhǎng)為零，依然還是有很多的職位空缺存在。所以，如作者最后點(diǎn)睛所言，So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up.不灰心不放棄。

從整體語(yǔ)言難度來(lái)說(shuō)，文章難度不是很大，財(cái)經(jīng)相關(guān)的一些詞匯基本都是大家比較熟悉的。并沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)過(guò)高難度的長(zhǎng)難句以及詞匯，整體理解起來(lái)也相對(duì)容易。

今后大家還應(yīng)當(dāng)繼續(xù)注重一些商務(wù)詞匯的表達(dá)，如job turnover（人員更替），termination解雇，land jobs找工作，等等。

57.The author tends to believe that high unemployment rate ______?

答案：C.should not stop people from looking for a job.解析：本題重點(diǎn)考察作者觀點(diǎn)。題干問(wèn)在作者看來(lái)，高失業(yè)率怎么樣？鎖定原文第一段，雖然第一段中的bad for the economy，discouraging，change careers等字眼跟選項(xiàng)ABD當(dāng)中的詞匯很類(lèi)似，但是要注意的是，真正表達(dá)作者觀點(diǎn)的是第一段最后一句But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you think。其實(shí)高失業(yè)率跟你沒(méi)太大關(guān)系。包括原文最后一段第一句“So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up.”所以，綜上所述，它不該給你找工作帶來(lái)阻礙，引申意思就是該怎么辦就怎么辦，不要在意官方統(tǒng)計(jì)的高失業(yè)率。

58.Where do most job openings come from?

答案：B.Job turnover

解析：本題屬于細(xì)節(jié)考查題。題干問(wèn)大部分的職位空缺來(lái)自于哪里？根據(jù)四個(gè)選項(xiàng)，可以用排除法將business expansion排除，因?yàn)樵牟⑽刺峒?。再剩下的三個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，根據(jù)原文第二段的第一句job growth numbers don’t matter to job hunters as much asjob turnover data以及turnovercreates more openings than economic growth does.可以確定人員更替（turnover）提供了更多的職位空缺，因此答案為Job turnover。

59.What does the author say about overall job growth?

答案：A.It doesn’t have much effect on individual job seekers.解析：本題繼續(xù)考察作者觀點(diǎn)。題干問(wèn)作者對(duì)于整體就業(yè)增長(zhǎng)（overall job growth）的態(tài)度是怎樣的，可以定位到原文倒數(shù)第三段，關(guān)鍵是第一句：I don’t mean to imply that overall job growth doesn’t have an impact on one’s ability to land a job.此處用到雙重否定，“我并不是說(shuō)整體就業(yè)增長(zhǎng)對(duì)一個(gè)人找工作沒(méi)有絲毫影響”，也就是說(shuō)“有一定影響，但是沒(méi)有那么大”所以答案是A，而B(niǎo)CD選項(xiàng)的confidence，hope，job security原文并未提及。

60.What is the key to landing a job according to the author?

答案：C.Persistence

解析：本題屬于細(xì)節(jié)考查題。定位原文倒數(shù)第二段第一句But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don’t is their ability to stay motivated.關(guān)鍵詞是stay motivated

61.What do we learn from the passage about the unemployment figures in the US?

答案：D.They exclude those who have stopped looking for a job.解析：本題屬于細(xì)節(jié)考查題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的最后一句The Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that 2.7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn’t looked within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.可知答案選D，那一部分人已經(jīng)被排除掉了，所以失業(yè)率這個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)是有水分的。

Our risk of cancer rises dramatically as we age.So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors — or doesn’t it?

While such vigilant（警覺(jué)的）tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly.With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it’s important to weigh the health benefits of screening against the risks and costs of routine testing.In many cases, screening can lead to additional biopsies and surgeries to remove cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not pose serious health problems in patients’ remaining years.But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a riotous reaction among doctors, patients and advocacy groups.It’s hard to uproot deeply held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data.Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment.And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history or prior personal experience with the disease, should continue to get screened regularly.But for the remainder, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like remaining life expectancy（預(yù)期壽命）.A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more objective decisions about who will truly benefit from screening-especially considering the explosion of the elderly that will soon swell our population.It’s not an easy calculation to make, but one that make sense for the whole patient.Dr.Otis Brawley said, “Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to cover themselves.We need to think about the rational use of health care and stop talking about the rationing of health care.”

That means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients, and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better.62.Why do doctors recommend routine cancer screening for elderly people?

A.It is believed to contribute to long life.B.It is part of their health care package.C.The elderly are more sensitive about their health.D.The elderly are in greater danger of tumor growth.63.How do some researchers now look at routine cancer screening for the elderly?

A.It adds too much to their medical bills.B.It helps increase their life expectancy.C.They are doubtful about necessity.D.They think it does more than good.64.What is the conventional view about women screening for breast cancer?

A.It applies to women over 50.B.It is a must for adult women.C.It is optional for young women.D.It doesn’t apply to women over 74.65.Why do many doctors prescribe routine screening for cancer?

A.They want to protect themselves against medical disputes.B.They want to take advantage of the medical care system.C.They want data for medical research.D.They want their patients to suffer less.66.What does the author say is the general view about health care?

A.The more, the better.B.Prevention is better than cure.C.Better early than late.D.Better care, longer life.SB_2 答案

62.D.The elderly are in greater danger of tumor growth.63.C.They are doubtful about its necessity.64.B.It is a must for adult women.65.A.They want to protect themselves against medical disputes.66.A.The more, the better.【點(diǎn)評(píng)】

這是一篇有關(guān)癌癥篩查的文章。長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)，人們認(rèn)為對(duì)于老年人來(lái)說(shuō)，隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng)，腫瘤生長(zhǎng)造成的威脅就越大，所以醫(yī)生建議他們進(jìn)行各類(lèi)常規(guī)的癌癥篩查。但是近來(lái)，研究者開(kāi)始懷疑它的必要性。當(dāng)他們開(kāi)始叫停50歲以下和74歲以上的婦女的乳腺癌篩查時(shí)，受慣例根深蒂固影響的人們掀起了軒然大波。不過(guò)，對(duì)于老年人來(lái)話說(shuō)，癌癥的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)還要和預(yù)期壽命進(jìn)行權(quán)衡。近期的調(diào)查還顯示很多醫(yī)生讓病人進(jìn)行癌癥篩查純粹是為了在醫(yī)療事故中保護(hù)自己，所以這篇反對(duì)了人們長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)的對(duì)健康檢查的誤解，即健康檢查并非多多益善。Part V Cloze

on the back of the shoulder for about one second

providing verbal instructions about the study.Both male and female students who were touched by a female experimenter were

more likely to choose the risky alternative

were those who had not been touched or were patted by male experimenters.The reassuring（寬慰的）touch of a woman may have induced early associations, 78

the same openness to exploration that is observed in young children of

mothers, explains Jonathan Levav, a business professor at Columbia University and lead author of the study.To further

that a woman’s touch links feelings of security

risk taking, the researchers asked a

group of undergraduates to make financial decisions after a writing exercise.Half of them wrote about a time they felt secure and supported, whereas the

half wrote about feeling insecure and alone.Evoking(喚起)a

of insecurity made students in the latter group

receptive to the gentle shoulder pats from female experimenters and much more willing to take a risk—just as a child leaving for a field trip might steal one last reassuring hug

【總評(píng)】完形填空原文源自美國(guó)科普雜志《科學(xué)美國(guó)人》（Scientific American）。原文標(biāo)題為

All about My Mother: How Touch Helps Us Take Risks，作者Ferris Jabr。原文共五段，495字，題目選取了原文前三段并做了細(xì)微修改，共345字。主要講述的是母親與嬰兒間形成的情感紐帶會(huì)影響孩子探索世界的行為。這是一篇典型的議論文，第一段第一句給出論點(diǎn)，指出母親與嬰兒間形成的情感紐帶會(huì)影響人們的行為，接著在第二段和第三段，通過(guò)兩個(gè)已經(jīng)發(fā)表的文章中的實(shí)驗(yàn)來(lái)證明這一觀點(diǎn)。Part VITranslation

翻譯 87.I finally got the job I dreamed about.Never before in my life___________(我感到如此激動(dòng))!

88.Yesterday Jane left the meeting early.Otherwise, she_____________________(可能會(huì)說(shuō)一些后來(lái)會(huì)懊悔的話.)

87.had I felt so excited

【解析】本題考查過(guò)去完成時(shí)及倒裝句。第一句話是過(guò)去時(shí)，第二句話可知其行為發(fā)生在過(guò)去之前，由此得出第二句話為過(guò)去完成時(shí)態(tài)，其結(jié)構(gòu)為“had done”；第二句第一個(gè)詞為“Never”否定詞，因此句子主謂要倒裝。

88.could have said somethingthat she might regret later

【解析】本題考查過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)的虛擬語(yǔ)氣。第二句是對(duì)過(guò)去行為一種推測(cè)，而事實(shí)上行為并未發(fā)生，因第一句話的時(shí)態(tài)是過(guò)去時(shí)，可判斷此句是對(duì)過(guò)去的虛擬，其主句的構(gòu)成為“主語(yǔ)+could+have +過(guò)去分詞”。另外注意本句“后來(lái)會(huì)懊悔的”這個(gè)修飾語(yǔ)，通常翻譯成一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)短的定語(yǔ)從句來(lái)修飾中心詞。

1作文真題范文及點(diǎn)評(píng)

Nothing Scucceeds Without a Strong Willby commenting on the humorous saying, “Quitting smoking is the eaiest thing in the world.I'va done it hundreds of times.” You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.Part I Writing

Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will

本文屬于話題類(lèi)作文，只看題目 “Nothing Succeeds without a strong will”考生會(huì)覺(jué)得比較抽象，難以下手。細(xì)看題目說(shuō)明中給出了提示，要求考生結(jié)合戒煙屢次不成功的幽默引語(yǔ)對(duì)該話題進(jìn)行分析闡述。

總體來(lái)說(shuō)，這是一篇“中等偏上”的考生作文。本文先點(diǎn)題指出“堅(jiān)強(qiáng)意志”的重要性；第二段從反面舉例闡述——具體描寫(xiě)了意志不堅(jiān)定者的心理活動(dòng)，闡述為什么會(huì)戒煙失??；最后從戒煙延伸到生活中的其他事情，并復(fù)述堅(jiān)強(qiáng)意志的內(nèi)涵，點(diǎn)題收尾。

總體上來(lái)看，文章思路清晰，采用了生動(dòng)的比喻和形象的心理描寫(xiě)，語(yǔ)言流暢，用語(yǔ)地道。

但一些重復(fù)表達(dá)（如第二段和第三段中的weak will）顯得單調(diào)，可用shaky ones, weak-willed persons，the strong-willed等靈活表達(dá)。在備考中，多積累不同表達(dá)，相信會(huì)寫(xiě)出更生動(dòng)的文章。

在論述上，敘述略顯羅嗦。第二段心理描寫(xiě)過(guò)多，雖然流暢生動(dòng)，但卻使這篇考場(chǎng)作文超過(guò)了規(guī)定字?jǐn)?shù)，反而成為失分點(diǎn)，這一點(diǎn)要引以為戒。

范文高分版

Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will

本次四級(jí)作文探討的話題是成功與毅力之間的關(guān)系，話題不算新，一般考生對(duì)此都比較熟悉，所以對(duì)考生來(lái)說(shuō)難度不大。寫(xiě)好這篇作文，需要抓住兩點(diǎn)，一是緊跟題目要求，即對(duì)上述幽默性的話語(yǔ)做出評(píng)論，二是在評(píng)論的基礎(chǔ)上要亮出自己的觀點(diǎn)。

范文開(kāi)頭第一句即一針見(jiàn)血地對(duì)上述幽默性話語(yǔ)做出總結(jié)性概括，即戒煙看似簡(jiǎn)單實(shí)則很難，隨后指出該話語(yǔ)本質(zhì)上是一個(gè)悖論，并且以一個(gè)“水滴石穿”的俗語(yǔ)來(lái)指出困難所在，這句也是本文的一個(gè)亮點(diǎn)，體現(xiàn)作者在西方俗語(yǔ)方面豐富的知識(shí)儲(chǔ)備。

第二段作者則進(jìn)一步深入分析該話語(yǔ)，指出做某事在短期看來(lái)很容易，長(zhǎng)期來(lái)看，恰恰相反，人們做事的結(jié)果也因此總是失敗，原因則在最后一句點(diǎn)出：缺乏毅力。

第三段作者進(jìn)一步給出了自己的觀點(diǎn)，告訴大家如何避免陷入這種兩難境地：首要條件即需要堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志和長(zhǎng)期的堅(jiān)持。最后再以艾默生的一句名言 “沒(méi)人能夠騙你遠(yuǎn)離你最終的成功，除非你自己承認(rèn)失敗”來(lái)總結(jié)全文，切中主題，鏗鏘有力。

快速閱讀真題及答案

What is Integrity?

“Integrity” is defined as “adherence to moral and ethical principles;honesty.” The key to integrity is consistency--not only setting high personal standards for oneself(honesty, responsibility, respect for others, fairness)but also living up to those standards each day.One who by and follows moral and ethical standards even when making life's hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation.What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disappointed in ourselves and ashamed.But a lapse of integrity also affects our relationships with others.Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional.Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus, integrity must be one of our most important goals.Risky Business

We are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure.The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then exploring ways to avoid similar problems in the future.Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems.We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can't see the risks we're taking, we can't make responsible choices.To identify risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts.For example, one who doesn't know the rules about plagiarism may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit, or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as required.But the fact that such a violation is “unintentional” does not excuse the misconduct.Ignorance is not a defense.“But Everybody Does It”

Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to fool themselves about the risks they're taking by using excuses: “Everyone else does it,” “I'm not hurting anyone,” or “I really need this grade.” Excuses can get very elaborate: “I know I'm looking at another's exam, even though I'm supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that's not cheating because I'm just checking my answers, not copying.” We must be honest about our actions, and avoid excuses.If we fool ourselves into believing we're not doing anything wrong, we can't see the real choice we're making--and that leads to bad decisions.To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over your shoulder.Would you feel proud or ashamed of your actions? If you'd rather hide your actions, that's a good indication that you're rationalizing it to yourself.Evaluating Risks

To decide whether a risk is worth taking, you must examine the consequences, in the future as well as right now, negative as well as positive, and to others as well as to yourself.Those who take risks they later regret usually focus on immediate benefits(“what's in it for me”), and simply haven't considered what might go wrong.The consequences of getting caught are serious, and may include a “0” on a test or assignment;an “F” in the class;Suspension or Dismissal from school;transcript notation;and a tarnished reputation.In fact, when you break a rule or law, you lose control over your life, and give others the power to impose punishment: you have no control over what that punishment might be.This is an extremely precarious and vulnerable position.There may be some matters of life and death, or highest principle, which might justify such a risk, but there aren't many things that fall in this category.Getting Away With It--Or Not

Those who don't get caught pay an even higher price.A cheater doesn't learn from the test, depriving him/herself of an education.Cheating undermines confidence and independence: the cheater is a fraud, and knows that without dishonesty, he/she would have failed.Cheating destroys self-esteem and integrity, leaving the cheater ashamed, guilty, and afraid of getting caught.Worst of all, a cheater who doesn't get caught the first time usually cheats again, not only because he/she is farther behind, but also because it seems “easier.” This slippery slope of eroding ethics and bigger risks leads only to disaster.Eventually, the cheater gets caught, and the later he/she gets caught, the worse the consequences.Students have been dismissed from school because they didn't get this simple message: Honesty is the ONLY policy that works.Cheating Hurts Others, Too

Cheaters often feel invisible, as if their actions “don't count” and don't really hurt anyone.But individual choices have a profound cumulative effect.Cheating can spread like a disease, and a cheater can encourage others just by being seen from across the room.Recent statistics suggest 30% or more of college students cheat.If a class is graded on a curve, cheating hurts others' grades.Even if there is no curve, cheating “poisons” the classroom, and others may feel pressured to join in.(“If I don't cheat, I can't compete with those who do.”)Cheating also has a destructive impact on teachers.The real reward of good teaching is seeing students learn, but a cheater says, “I'm not interested in what you're trying to teach;all I care about is stealing a grade, regardless of the effect on others.” The and destructive attack on the quality of your education.Finally, cheating can hurt the reputation of the University, and harm those who worked hard for their degree.Why Integrity Matters

If cheating becomes the norm, then we are in big trouble.We must rely on the honesty and good faith of others every day.If not, we couldn't put money in the bank, buy food, clothing, or medicine from others, drive across a bridge, get on a plane, go to the dentist--the list is endless.There are many examples of the vast harm that is caused when individuals forget or ignore the effect their dishonesty can have.The savings and loan scandal, the stock market and junk bond swindles, and, of course, Watergate, have undermined the faith of many Americans in the integrity of political and economic leaders and society as a whole.Such incidents take a tremendous toll on our nation's economy and our individual well-being.For example, but for the savings and loan debacle, there might be funds available to reduce the national debt and pay for education.In sum, we all have a common stake in our school, our community, and our society.Our actions do matter.It is essential that we act with integrity in order to build the kind of world in which we want to live.Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)1.A person of integrity not only sets high moral and ethical standards but also _______.A)sticks to them in their daily life B)makes them known to others C)understands their true values D)sees that others also follow them 2.What role does integrity play in personal and professional relationships?

M: Well, it is cold ,very cold in winter.Sometimes it is cold as 26 degrees below centigrade.And of course when you go out, you’ll wrap up warm.But inside in the houses it’s always very warm, much warmer than at home.Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter.W: And what about the darkness?

Passage One

While Gail Obcamp, an American artist was giving a speech on the art of Japanese brush painting to an audience that included visitors from Japan, she was confused to see that many of her Japanese listeners have their eyes closed.Were they tuned off because an American had the nerve to instruct Japanese in their own art form or they deliberately tried to signal their rejection of her? Obcamp later found out that her listeners were not being disrespectful.Japanese listeners sometimes closed their eyes to enhance concentration.Her listeners were showing their respect for her by chewing on her words.Some day you may be either a speaker or a listener in a situation involving people from other countries or members of minority group in North America.Learning how different cultures signal respect can help you avoid misunderstandings.Here are some examples.In the deaf culture of North America, many listeners show applause not by clapping their hands but by waving them in the air.In some cultures, both overseas and in some minority groups in North America, listeners are considered disrespectful if they look directly at the speaker.Respect is shown by looking in the general direction but avoiding direct eye contact.In some countries, whistling by listeners is a sign of approval while in other courtiers it is a form of insult.Questions:

26, What did Obcamp’s speech focus on?

27, Why do Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes while listening to a speech?

28, What does the speaker try to explain? Passage Two

Chris is in charge of purchasing and maintaining equipment in his Division at Taxlong Company.He is soon going to have an evaluation interview with his supervisor and the personnel director to discuss the work he has done in the past year.Salary, promotion and plans for the coming year will also be discussed at the meeting.Chris has made several changes for his Division in the past year.First, he bought new equipment for one of the departments.He has been particularly happy about the new equipment because many of the employees have told him how much it has helped them.Along with improving the equipment, Chris began a program to train employees to use equipment better and do simple maintenance themselves.The training saved time for the employees and money for the company.Unfortunately, one serious problem developed during the year.Two employees the Chris hired were stealing, and he had to fire them.Chris knows that a new job for a purchasing and maintenance manager for the whole company will be open in a few months, and he would like to be promoted to the job.Chris knows, however, that someone else wants that new job, too.Kim is in charge of purchasing and maintenance in another Division of the company.She has also made several changes over the year.Chris knows that his boss likes Kim’s work, and he expects that his work will be compared with hers.Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.29.What is Chris’s main responsibility at Taxlong Company?

30.What problem did Chris encounter in his Division?

31.What does Chris hope for in the near future?

32.What do we learn about Kim from the passage? Passage Three

Proverbs, sometimes called sayings, are examples of folk wisdom.They are little lessons which older people of a culture pass down to the younger people to teach them about life.Many proverbs remind people of the values that are important in the culture.Values teach people how to act, what is right, and what is wrong.Because the values of each culture are different, understanding the values of another culture helps explain how people think and act.Understanding your own culture values is important too.If you can accept that people from other cultures act according to their values, not yours, getting along with them will be much easier.Many proverbs are very old.So some of the values they teach may not be as important in the culture as they once were.For example, Americans today do not pay much attention to the proverb “Haste makes waste”, because patience is not important to them.But if you know about past values, it helps you to understand the present and many of the older values are still strong today.Benjamin Franklin, a famous American diplomat, writer and scientist, died in 1790, but his proverb “Time is money” is taken more seriously by Americans of today than ever before.A study of proverbs from around the world shows that some values are shared by many cultures.In many cases though, the same idea is expressed differently.Questions 33-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33.Why are proverbs so important?

34.According to the speaker what happens to some proverbs with the passage of time?

What do we learn from the study of proverbs from around the world? Section C

Compound Dictation

本次聽(tīng)力考試長(zhǎng)對(duì)話第一篇難度略低與以往水平，話題關(guān)于瑞典的天氣和生活方式，對(duì)話以man speaker提供信息為主，woman speaker穿針引線，所以大家集中精力聽(tīng)man speaker的話即可。

文章大意：對(duì)話先談?wù)摿巳鸬涞募竟?jié)，冬天異常寒冷，低至零下26度，但是室內(nèi)非常溫暖，所以瑞典人到了英國(guó)會(huì)抱怨室內(nèi)溫度低。接下來(lái)討論了不同季節(jié)的日光長(zhǎng)度，圣誕節(jié)期間每天只有1小時(shí)光照，而五月到七月，直到午夜還有還有日照，所以瑞典享有“The Land of Mid-night Sun”的美譽(yù)。瑞典人夏季很早上班，下午2，3點(diǎn)就下班，享受漫長(zhǎng)的夏季夜晚。他們的生活方式用原文中的一句話來(lái)概述就是“They like to work hard, but play hard too.”。

出題點(diǎn)有4處，全部為細(xì)節(jié)題，第19題：“What do we learn about the man from the conversation?”，答案出現(xiàn)在對(duì)話開(kāi)篇。第20題: “What do Swedish people complain about when they visit England in winter?”，答案出現(xiàn)在文中，瑞典人拜訪英國(guó)會(huì)抱怨英國(guó)人的室內(nèi)很冷。第21題“How does the man describe the short hour of daylight around Christmas in Sweden？”，man speaker 的評(píng)論是 “a bit depressing ”.第22題“What does the man say about the Swedish people?”，瑞典人工作努力，也很會(huì)享受盛會(huì)。

考場(chǎng)上，大家只要能follow the man speaker’s track，抓住細(xì)節(jié)，就一定會(huì)找出答案。Wish all of you good luck!

本次四級(jí)第二篇長(zhǎng)對(duì)話難度不高，話題是考生很熟悉的校園學(xué)習(xí)類(lèi)。從對(duì)話的語(yǔ)氣中可以猜出是學(xué)妹在請(qǐng)教學(xué)長(zhǎng)關(guān)于工作所需的教育背景。

考查長(zhǎng)對(duì)話一般是看兩人談話會(huì)有幾個(gè)話題，換一個(gè)話題就會(huì)相應(yīng)地?fù)Q一個(gè)問(wèn)題。這篇考試也不例外，三個(gè)問(wèn)題分別是1.男人的專(zhuān)業(yè)？2.男人在中學(xué)的工作？3.男人上諾丁漢大學(xué)的原因？1和3尤其好辨別，相信同學(xué)們做對(duì)基本的2道題是肯定沒(méi)有問(wèn)題的。

抓住了“話題轉(zhuǎn)換有考題”的技巧后，再運(yùn)用我們課上反復(fù)強(qiáng)調(diào)的“聽(tīng)到什么選什么”的技巧，那答案就呼之欲出了。比如1應(yīng)該是French, 2 是career work, 3是campus environment.再加上我們上課教的學(xué)習(xí)場(chǎng)景詞匯中的高頻詞degree, secondary school, administration, literature, campus, major。如果考生在考場(chǎng)上能及時(shí)激活，那文章的大意一定非常明了。

Passage 2 難度適中，話題是升職，屬于商務(wù)工作場(chǎng)景，大意是Chris 作為公司的采購(gòu)部的職員希望得到提升，但是遇到了同是采購(gòu)部的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手Kim，Kim受到領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的喜歡而且表現(xiàn)也不錯(cuò)。原文描述了Chris和Kim在公司中的表現(xiàn)。涉及到的?？荚~匯有：purchase, maintenance, interview，salary, promotion, equipment, employee, responsibility。這些詞匯在聽(tīng)力商務(wù)場(chǎng)景中講過(guò)，要求大家必背的。在閱讀課上商務(wù)類(lèi)文章中也講過(guò)數(shù)次。接下來(lái)我們看看具體的題目和答案所在處。Question 29: what is Chris’s main responsibility at Texalon company? 我們課堂上說(shuō)篇章一般開(kāi)頭30秒會(huì)有一題的答案，這題的答案在第一句話。

Chris is in charge of purchasing and maintaining equipment in his division at Texalon company.In charge 管理和負(fù)責(zé)的意思。Purchase采購(gòu)，maintenance 維修。Question 30: what problem did Chris encounter in his division? Unfortunately, one serious problem develops during the year.Two employees that Chris hired were stealing and he had to fire them.此題答案在文章中間部分，關(guān)鍵是problem 這個(gè)詞。Question 31: what does Chris hope for in the near future? He would like to be promoted to the job.Promote 升職。Would like to 想要。Question 32: what do we learn about Kim from the passage? 原文：Chris knows, however, someone else wants the new job too.Kim is in charge of purchasing and maintenance in another division of the company.Kim這個(gè)女人也是負(fù)責(zé)采購(gòu)和維修的，她希望得到這個(gè)工作。
