2016英语四级听力考试模拟试题20

M: I know what you mean. There are a million of books in this place and I can never find what I need。

Q: Where are the speakers?

12. W: Can I see you sometime this week? I missed part of your explanation on this week’s chemistry experiment。我要收藏

M: Ok, come to my office tomorrow around one o’clock。

Q: Who is the woman probably talking to?

13. W: What are the requirements for the course?

M: There will be weekly quizzes and a final exam. You will have to go to the language lab at least two hours a week。

Q: What kind of course is this?

14. W: I’m sorry. We are just not happy with these plans for the living room。

M: Would you like me to draw up another set of blueprints?

Q: What is the man’s job?

15. M: Julie, have you heard the one about the two bears

having a drink at a bar?

W: Oh, no, Norman. Not another ridiculous joke。

Q: Why is the woman refusing to listen to the man?

16. M: I’m not sure whether I should tell that story about Mr. Leeds at the Awards Dinner. What do you think?

W: Well, you are a good storyteller, but I’m not sure people would find it all that interesting. When in doubt, leave it out。

Q: What does the woman mean?

17. M: Since you won’t be joining the Antarctica expedition this year, would you reconsider our offer to join the staff here?

W: Thank you again for the offer, but I still don’t think I’m cut out for teaching。

Q: What is the woman refusing?

18. M; In view of the fact that people are ignoring the importance of the ecology of the polar regions, I think we are headed for catastrophe。

W: You mean like a worldwide drought caused by global warming or severe flooding in coastal cities?

Q: What is the man implying?

Now you’ll hear two long conversations。

Conversation One

W: Why is it that some children perform better than others at school?

M: Obviously, certain children are brighter than others. But it is not that simple. A lot of emphasis is placed on intelligence measured by tests。

W: The so-called IQ tests?

M: Yes. Basically they are intended to test language and numerical ability, so some children are bound to suffer. This is very unfortunate. A child with an average IQ may turn out to be successful when he grows up。

W: What you are saying is that some children have abilities that are not easy to measure。

M: Exactly. If these abilities are not discovered early, they cannot be developed. That’s why there are so many unhappy parents in the world. They are not doing the things they are best at。

W: I see。

M: But at school, only those who are good with words and numbers will probably do well in exams。

W: Right. Is there anything a parent can do to help in this case?

M: Yes. In my opinion, a child should be judged on his individual talents. After all, being happy in life is putting your skills to good use, no matter what they are.

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard。

19. What is the basic purpose of IQ tests?

20. According to the conversation, why are there so many unhappy parents in the world?

21.According to the conversation, why can’t some children do well in school examinations?

22. Which of the following statements is true according to the conversation?

Colleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid Good grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid. But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars. George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago. Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008. Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willing to pay whatever they must for a big-name school. For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running. But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,”says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum. Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it. “As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,”says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Repor t’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17. Merit aid, which benefited about 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about $ 1 million a year, “served us well,”Inzer says, but “to be

2016 年 12 月大学英语四级考试真题（第一套） Part I Writing (30 minutes)( 请于正式开考后半小时内完成该部分，之后将进行听 力考试 ) Directions:For this part,you are allowed30 minutes to write an essay.Suppose you have two options upon graduation:one is to take a job in a company and the other to go to a graduate school.You are to make a choice between the two.Write an essay to explain the reasons for your choice. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. Much controversy has been aroused about whether the students should find a job or start their own business after graduation.Taking a look around,we can find that some graduates bustle around job markets,while others choose to run a shop on TMall. However, I prefer the former choice. From my perspective, there are good reasons to find a job in the first several years after their graduation.First and foremost, if a graduate intends to accumulate working experience and learn from the seniors, it is advisable for him to find a job. It is an undeniable fact that the theoretical knowledge will provide the graduates with the ability to consider things comprehensively,however,only under the integration with practice can the rigid knowledge be useful for their future development. Inevitably, doing something small is the premise of undertaking something great. Take Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba and taobao, for example. He also finds some jobs before establishing his own career,laying a solid foundation for his later success. Consequently,it is of great necessity to find a job after graduation.I firmly believe that it will continue to bring about more returns to our life and future.
