Directions: There are two passages in this section. Each passage is

followed by some questions or unfinished statements. There are four choices for each question and you should decide on the best choice.

Passage 1

Questions 50 to 54 are based on the following passage.

As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased. The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities. Industrialization and the diversification of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon qualifications and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility. Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society.

The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling. By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly lengthened. Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants. Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies.

Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of specific populations. Immigrant women were one such population. Schools tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home. Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American education gave homemaking a new definition. In

pre-industrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included

income-producing activities both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States, however, overproduction rather than shortage was becoming a problem. Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer. Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children "efficiently" in their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others.

Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date.

50. It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing importance of education in the United States

was____________

(A) the growing number of schools in frontier communities

(B) an increase in the number of trained teachers

(C) the expanding economic problems of schools

(D) the increased urbanization of the entire country

51. The phrase "coincided with" in line 8 is closest in meaning

to____________

(A) was influenced by

(B) happened at the same time as

(C) began to grow rapidly

(D) ensured the success of

52. According to the passage, one important change in United States education by the 1920's was that_____________

(A) most places required children to attend school

(B) the amount of time spent on formal education was limited

(C) new regulations were imposed on nontraditional education

(D) adults and children studied in the same classes

53. Vacation schools and extracurricular activities are mentioned in lines 12 to illustrate_______________

(A) alternatives to formal education provided by public schools

(B) the importance of educational changes

(C) activities that competed to attract new immigrants to their programs.

(D) the increased impact of public schools on students.

54. According to the passage, early-twentieth century education reformers believed that_______________

(A) different groups needed different kinds of education

(B) special programs should be set up in frontier communities to modernize them

(C) corporations and other organizations damaged educational progress

(D) more women should be involved in education and industry

The test consists of 3 sections with different types of tasks to te st your abilities of English listening, speaking, writing and reading.I t will take approximately 2 hours to complete.

Passage 2

Questions 55 to 59 are based on the following passage.

According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group in the United States. In the family traditional cultural patterns place leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment (招募).

Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce consistent

evidence that there is any category o f “natural leaders.” It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group.

Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader, research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things done.” Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-beings of a social group’s members. Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them. Group members expect expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and provide support to individual members.

Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They give others and may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of the group’s goals. Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline, are quick to lighten a serious moment with humor,

and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the difference in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect.

55. What does the passage mainly discuss?

(A) The problems faced by leaders.

(B) How leadership differs in small and large groups.

(C) How social groups determine who will lead them.

(D) The role of leaders in social groups.

56. The passage mentions all of the following ways by which people can become leaders EXCEPT ___________.

(A) recruitment

(B) formal election process

(C) specific leadership training

(D) traditional cultural patterns

57. In mentioning “natural leaders” in line 9, the author is making the point that __________.

(A) few people qualify as “natural leaders”.

(B) there is no proof that “natural leaders” exist.

(C) “natural leaders” are easily accepted by the members of a group.

(D) “natural leaders” share a similar set of characteri stics.

大学英语四级模拟试题四(附含答案解析)

大学英语四级模拟题四 Part One Reading Comprehension (2’×10 = 20’) 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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow”from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory(呼吸的)diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases. Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility (能见度). There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals are apt(易于的)to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers. Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes(腐蚀)our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control. 1. Air pollution may lead to airplane accidents because . A. it may cause pilots to be ill B. engines may fail from the air-borne dirt C. visibility is reduced D. it brings a lot of black snow 2. Scientists are trying to find a link between pollution and . A. intelligence levels B. birth problems C. man’s behavior D. the nervous system 3. Scientists have not yet determined . A. all of the effects of pollution on the human body B. how pollution can be controlled successfully C. when the atmosphere first became polluted D. how some snow becomes black 4. The author suggests that before air pollution becomes more serious, . A. factories will be forced to stop operating B. buildings should be protected C. the earth will begin to grow colder D. more money should be spent to solve the problem 5. We can conclude that . A. civilization may be ruined if pollution is not controlled B. pollution is more serious in Europe than it is in America C. most people do not know that pollution is a serious problem D. we should learn all the answers before we begin to control pollution Passage Two Stiletto heels could be banned from the workplace because of health and safety reasons, according to British Trade Union bosses. The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear “sensible shoes”with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference. The motion states: “Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely in appropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Feet bear the burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders. Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints. Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code. More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected.” Nadline Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticized the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace. “I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye,”she said. “If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me. The Trade Union leaders need to get real, stop using obvious sexist tactics by discussing women’s

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite

大学英语四级口语应试技巧汇编 由于近年来,参加口语考试的门槛进一步降低,每年都有更多的考生获得参加口语考试的机会。那么如何准备口语考试呢? 技巧1:考前热身,了解你的搭档 考试之前,考官会对所有考生进行随机分组,通常三个人一组,会给一定时间让你们交流,这就是所谓热身。 千万不要小瞧你的搭档,大家要抓紧时间交流,这样等到正式考试时,大家才能有好的配合。 比如,我在考口语的时候,有一个搭档是个内向的女生。我在听她的发音时比较累,有时只能猜测。最后一个部分是一个商业宣传的案例,结果我们做的策划是两个截然不同的方向,她大概也没有经历过类似的考试,根本不与我配合,于是到最后也没有达成一致意见。 技巧2:精心准备自我介绍 考前有一个自我介绍,你要准备得有特色,生动一点,因为这关系到第一印象的问题,你在第一时间内所展现出来的个性特征很可能在主考老师的心里持续到最后一分钟。 你不要把自我介绍弄得太冗长,不要为了使用某些夸张的语句,而使本该简短的文字变得复杂。 技巧3:悉心倾听同伴发言 口语测试中的专心应该是从始至终的,最好能做到悉心倾听每一个搭档的发言。

因为考官很有可能突然点名让你发表意见,如果你没有专心听懂其他人的观点,那么你就可能不知道自己该说点什么。我考试的时候遇到的另一位搭档是研究生,但他的口语基本上在初中水平,但是幸亏我当时一直认真地听着他的发言,不然当考官突然让我接下话题时,我就可能不知道自己该说些什么了。 技巧4:学会解释开放性问题 要学会对问题进行开放性解释,不要只给出简单的答案。这个也许是个很个人的问题,是个习惯问题。但考试是有时间限定的,老师也许会示意你做进一步阐述,所以见到问题的时候就应该有比较完善的,综合各方面因素的理解。 但不要给出让人过于吃惊的回答,尤其不要拿出新生代人物对一切都毫不在乎的态度,最好是表现得成熟一点,有条理,有逻辑,有道理。因为大家都是接受过高等教育的人,不要在一些简单问题上显得幼稚和无知。 技巧5:六招教你快速提高四六级口语 相对于雅思考试中的其他单项,口语是不少考生的弱势项目。除备考要细致,考试时的一些细节也要引起考生注意,提醒大家尤其要注意以下八个细节问题。 Keep eye contact.保持眼神交流 中国考生在答题时往往眼睑自然下垂,是一种内敛的表现。可在欧美人看来,这种回避的眼光可能是一种缺少安全感、不自信的表现。在雅思口语考试中,考官提问时会一直与考生保持眼

大学英语四级考试模拟试卷及参考答案(第一套)

大学英语四级考试模拟试卷及参考答案(第 一套) Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is foll owed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fou r choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and ma rk the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method o f answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships betwee n observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to o rganize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniq ues, and procedures for implementing the finding of science. Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progr ess in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comp rehend the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy an d certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or disli kes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover m ay shock or anger people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution. But even an unple asant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of re fusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology; we do not have the choice

(屏幕显示以下文字) Many people would list San Francisco as one of the most delightful cities in the world. Sitting on the Pacific coast, it gives you a feeling of the sea. The sea breezes wake you up and make you eat well and sleep well. The city was planned with straight roads, and these roads cross each other at right angles, making squares as they do in many American cities. Very often you can find yourself on top of a hill in the city, looking down one of these straight roads as it rises and falls on its journey through the town. A good way to travel these roads is by cable car. These are buses that run on rails in the ground up and down the steep hills.

2015年英语四级阅读模拟试题及答案 (精品试卷一) Section C Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each 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 Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage. People's tastes in recreation differ widely. At a recent festival of pop-music in the Isle of Wight, crowds of teenagers flocked to listen to their favorite singers and musicians. They went with single railway tickets and slept in the open, a very risky thing to do in the climate of Britain, even in August. They were packed together like sardines for four days. There were innumerable thieves, a gang of roughs tried several times to break things up, and police were everywhere. At the end of the festival many young fans found themselves broke, with no money left,and they had difficulty in getting back home. Most people would consider these conditions a nightmare of discomfort; the fans appeared to enjoy it all enormously. Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large tracts of open un-spoilt country, where people with more traditional tastes can go for quiet, and for the sense of freedom they derive from contact with nature. In the national parks especially, modern development of housing and industry is strictly controlled. Visitors may walk for miles through landscape of the greatest beauty and wildness, and often of considerable historic or scientific interest. Along the coasts of some of the maritime counties, public pathways have been created; these paths stretch for many miles along cliffs that look out on the Atlantic Ocean or the English Channel. Another path,lying inland, goes along the range of mountains in the north of England. It is called the Pennine Way. Here, the long-distance waller and the nature-lover can find much to enjoy, without feeling disturbed by large numbers of their fellows.
