One major decision which faces the American student ready to

begin higher education is the choice of attending a large

university or a small college. The large university provides a

wide range of specialized departments, as well numerous 71. __________

courses within such departments. The small college, therefore, 72. __________

generally provides a limited number of courses and

specializations but offer a better student-faculty ratio, thus 73. __________

permit individualized attention to student. Because of its large 74. __________

student body (often exceeding 20,000) consisting in many 75. __________

people from different countries the university exposes its

students to many different culture, social and out-of-class 76. __________

programmes. On the other hand, the smaller, more

homogeneous(同性质的) student body of the big college 77. __________

affords greater opportunities in such activities. Finally, the

university closely approximates the real world and which 78. __________

provides a relaxed, impersonal, and sometimes anonymous

(隐姓埋名的) existence, on the contrast, the intimate 79. __________

atmosphere of the small college allows the student four years of

structural living in which to expect and preparing for the real 80. __________

world. In making his choice among educational institutions the

student must, there fore, consider a great many factors.

Passage 2

Thomas Malthus published his "Essay on the Principle

of Population" almost 200 years ago. Ever since then,

forecasters have being warning that worldwide famine was S1. _____ just around the next corner. The fast-growing population's

demand for food, they warned, would soon exceed their S2. _____ supply, leading to widespread food shortages and starvation.

But in reality, the world's total grain harvest has risen

steadily over the years. Except for relative isolated trouble S3. _____

spots like present-day Somalia, and occasional years of

good harvests, the world's food crisis has remained just S4. _____ around the corner. Most experts believe this can continue

even as if the population doubles by the mid-21st century, S5. _____ although feeding I0 billion people will not be easy for

politics, economic and environmental reasons. Optimists S6. _____ point to concrete examples of continued improvements

in yield. In Africa, by instance, improved seed, more S7. _____ fertilizer and advanced growing practices have more than

double corn and wheat yields in an experiment. Elsewhere, S8. _____ rice experts in the Philippines are producing a plant with few S9. _____ stems and more seeds. There is no guarantee that plant

Passage 3

The Seattle Times Company is one newspaper firm that

has recognized the need for change and done something about

it. In the newspaper industry, papers must reflect the diversity

of the communities to which they provide information.

It must reflect that diversity with their news coverage or risk S1. _________

losing their readers’ interest and their advertisers’ support.

Operating within Seattle, which has 20 percents racial S2. _________

minorities, the paper has put into place policies and

procedures for hiring and maintain a diverse workforce. The S3. _________

underlying reason for the change is that for information to be

fair, appropriate, and subjective, it should be reported by the S4. _________

same kind of population that reads it.

A diversity committee composed of reporters, editors,

and

photographers meets regularly to value the Seattle Times’S5. _________

content and to educate the rest of the newsroom staff about

diversity issues. In an addition, the paper instituted a content S6. _________

audit (审查) that evaluates the frequency and manner of

representation of woman and people of color in photographs. S7. _________

Early audits showed that minorities were pictured far too

infrequently and were pictured with a disproportionate

number of negative articles. The audit results from S8. _________

improvement in the frequency of majority representation and S9. _________

their portrayal in neutral or positive situations. And, with a S10. _________

result, the Seattle Times has improved as a newspaper.

The diversity training and content audits helped the

Passage 4

A great many cities are experiencing difficulties which

are nothing new in the history of cities, except in their scale.

Some cities have lost their original purpose and have not found

new one. And any large or rich city is going to attract poor S1. __________ immigrants, who flood in, filling with hopes of prosperity S2. __________ which are then often disappointing. There are backward towns

on the edge of Bombay or Brasilia, just as though there were S3. __________ on the edge of seventeenth-century London or early nine-

teenth-century Paris. This is new is the scale. Descriptions S4. __________ written by eighteenth-century travelers of the poor of Mexico

City, and the enormous contrasts that was to be found there, S5. __________ are very dissimilar to descriptions of Mexico City today—the S6. __________ poor can still be numbered in millions.

The whole monstrous growth rests on economic prosper-

ity, but behind it lies two myths: the myth of the city as a S7. __________ promised land, that attracts immigrants from rural poverty S8. __________ and brings it flooding into city centers, and the myth of the S9. __________ country as a Garden of Eden, which, a few generations late, S10. __________ sends them flooding out again to the suburbs.

Passage 5

Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of

hunting behavior. Viewing biologically, the modern S1. __________ footballer is revealed as a member of a disguised hunting

pack. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football

and his prey into a goal-mouth. If his aim is inaccurate and he S2. __________ scores a goal, enjoys the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey.

To understand how this transformation has taken place we S3. __________ must briefly look up at our ancient ancestors. They spent over a S4. __________ million year evolving as co-operative hunters. Their very survival S5. __________ depended on success in the hunting-field. Under this pressure

their whole way of life, even if their bodies, became radicaily S6. __________

changed. They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers,

throwers and prey-killers. They co-operate as skillful male-group S7. __________ attackers.

Then, about ten thousand years ago, when this immensely S8. __________ long formative period of hunting for food, they became

farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old

hunting life, were put to a new use—that of penning (把S9. __________ ……关在圈中), controlling and domesticating their prey. The

food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and

uncertainties of farming were no longer essential for survival. S10.__________

Passage 6

More people die of tuberculosis (结核病) than of any

other disease caused by a single agent. This has probably

been the case in quite a while. During the early stages of 71. __________ the industrial revolution, perhaps one in every seventh 72. __________ deaths in Europe’s crowded cities were caused by th e 73. __________ disease. From now on, though, western eyes, missing the 74. __________ global picture, saw the trouble going into decline. With

occasional breaks for war, the rates of death and

infection in the Europe and America dropped steadily 75. __________ through the 19th and 20th centuries. In the 1950s, the

introduction of antibiotics (抗菌素) strengthened the

trend in rich countries, and the antibiotics were allowed

to be imported to poor countries. Medical researchers 76. __________ declared victory and withdrew.

They are wrong. In the mid-1980s the frequency of 77. __________ infections and deaths started to pick up again around the

world. Where tuberculosis vanished, it came back; in 78. __________ many places where it had never been away, it grew better. 79. __________ The World Health Organization estimates that 1.7

billion people (a third of the earth’s population) suffer

from tuberculosis. Even the infection rate was

falling, population growth kept the number of clinical

cases more or less constantly at 8 million a year. Around 80. __________ 3 million of those people died, nearly all of them in poor

countries.

71. in → for 72. seventh → seven

79. better → worse 80. constantly → constant

Passage 7

When you start talking about good and bad manners you

immediately start meeting difficulties. Many people just cannot

agree what they mean. We asked a lady, who replied that she

thought you could tell a well-manned person on the way they 71. __________ occupied the space around them—for example, when such a

person walks down a street he or she is constantly unaware of 72. __________ others. Such people never bump into other people.

However, a second person thought that this was more a

question of civilized behavior as good manners. Instead, this 73. __________ other person told us a story, it he said was quite well known, 74. __________ about an American who had been invited to an Arab meal at 75. __________ one of the countries of the Middle East. The American hasn’t76. __________ been told very much about the kind of food he might expect. If

he had known about American food, he might have behaved 77. __________ better.

Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that

looked, to him, very much as a napkin（餐巾）. Picking it 78. __________ up, he put it into his collar, so that it falls across his shirt. 79. __________ His Arab host, who had been watching, said of nothing, but 80. __________ immediately copied the action of his guest.

And that, said this second person, was a fine example of

good manners.

71. (on the way) → in the way 72. unaware → aware

73. as → than 74. it → which

75. at → in 76. hasn’t →hadn’t

79. falls → fell 80. of → /

Passage 8

Until the very latest moment of his existence, man has been

bound to the planet on which he originated and devel-

oped. Now he had the capability to leave that planet and move 71. __________ out into the universe to those worlds which he has known

previously only directly. Men have explored parts of the moon. 72. __________ put spaceships in orbit around another planet and possibly within

the decade will land into another planet and explore it. Can we be 73. __________ too bold as to suggest that we may be able to colonize other 74. __________ planet within the not-too-distant future? Some have advocated 75. __________ such a procedure as a solution to the population problem: ship the

excess people off to the moon. But we must keep in head the 76. __________ billions of dollars we might spend in carrying out the project. To

maintain the earth’s population at its present level, we would have

to blast off into space 7,500 people every hour of every day of the

year.

Why are we spending so little money on space ex- 77. __________ ploration? Consider the great need for improving many aspects 78. __________

of the global environment, one is surely justified in his

concern for the money and resources that they are poured into 79. __________ the space exploration efforts. But perhaps we should look at

both sides of the coin before arriving hasty conclusions. 80. __________

71. had → has 72. directly → indirectly

73. into → on 74. too → so

75. planet → planets / worlds 76. head → mind

77. little → much 78. Consider → Considering

79. they → /

80. (arriving) → (arriving) at 或arriving → reaching/drawing/making

Passage 9

Most people work to earn a living and they

Produce goods and services. Goods are either

agricultural (like maize) or manufactured (like

cars). Services are such things like education, 1.________ medicine, and commerce. These people provide 2.________ goods; some provide services. Other people provide

both goods or services. For example, in the same 3.________ garage a man may buy a car or some service which

helps him maintain his car.

The work people do is called as economic 4.________ activity. All economic activities taken together make

up the economic system of a town, a city, a country,

or the world. Such economic system is the sum-total 5._________ of what people do and what they want. The work

people do either provides what they need or provides

the money with that they can by essential 6.________ commodities. Of course, most people hope to have

enough money to buy commodities and services which

are essential but which provide some particular 7.________ personal satisfaction, such as toys for children, visits 8._______ the cinema, and books.

The science of economics is basic upon the facts 9.________ of our everyday lives. Economists study our every day

lives and the general life of our communities in order

to understand the whole economic system of which we

are a part. They try to describe the facts of the

economy in which we live, and to explain how it

works. The economist methods should of course be 10.________ strictly objective and scientific.

Passage 10

Parents can be supportive of suspicions. They

can be helpful to the teacher, or are in need of help 1.

themselves. Sometimes, I think parents are too hard

to their children. I have seen many parents of this 2.

kind. I often have the problem of parents coming in

and telling me what they really treat their kids. They 3.

tell me that they usually stand over their kinds when

they do their homework. They check their work and

make big fuss over the grades. They criticize the kids 4.

over everything having to do with school. My

response usually is: ”well, you know, he is really a

good kid. He is fine in my class. Maybe you should

not be too strict with them.” 5.

We want parents to realize the fact that teachers

are professors at working with children. They have 6.

observed many children and many parents. Because

of this, and because of their specialized training,

teachers can be realistic about children. Teachers

know whether parents want their children to do well 7.

and to behave well. But teachers know less what 8.

children should be able to do at different ages and

stages. They don’t expect the 8-year-olds to do the

work that can only be done by the 12-year-olds.

Parents, in the contrary, often expect their children 9.

to do what is usually beyond their age and ability.

Obviously, this may make great harm to the 10.

children’s development.

Passage 11

Closure is the positive felling you get when you

finish a task. Lack of closure results from the 1.________ panicked feeling that you still have a million things to

do. One way to obtain closure is divide a task into 2.________ manageable goals, list them, and check them off

your list as you finish them. For example, suppose

your historic teacher assigns three chapters to be 3.________ read. If your goal is to read all three chapters, you

may feel discouraged if you don’t complete the

reading at one time. A more effective way to

complete the assignment is to divide the reading into

smaller goals by thinking each chapter as a separate 4.________ goal. Thus you experience success as you complete.

each chapter. While you have completed the overall 5.________ goal, you know you have progressed toward it.

A second block to obtaining closure is unfinished

business. You may have several tasks with the same

deadline. If changing from one task to another serves 6. ________ as a break, changing tasks too often waste time. 7. ________ Each time you switch, you lose momentum. You

may be unable to change mental gears fast enough.

You may find yourself thinking about the old project

when you should be concentrating in the new one. In 8. ________ addition, when you return to your first task, you

have to review where you are and what steps were 9. ________ left for you to finish.

Often you solve this problem by determining

how much time you have free to work. If the time

available is short (i.e. ,an hour or less), you need to

work on only one task. Alternate tasks when you

have more time. Completing one task or a large

portion of a task attributes to the feeling of closure. 10.______

2．is divide －> is to divide

3．historic teacher－> history teacher

4．think each chapter －> think∧of each chapter

5．have completed－> have∧not completed

Passage 12

Oral health care is, these days, a big, boom 1. business. According to Ralph Nader, American 2. spend some $5 billion on dental care each year. Yet,

although the tremendous amounts of money, time 3.

and energy giving over to oral health, dental 4. literature indicates that about half the population in

this country has lost all of his natural teeth by age 5.

65. Nearly half of all people over age 20 wear a bridge

or denture, and more than 30 percent have

complete upper and lower dentures. By age 50, one

out of every two persons have gum disease. 6.

The dental profession blames neglectful

Americans themselves. About half the population, it

claims, fails in visit the dentist regularly and some 30 7. million never did. Critics, on the other hand slam 8. the profession. It can be conservatively estimated

that at least 15 percent of United States dentists are 9. incompetent, honest, or both, says a former 10. Pennsylvania Commissioner of Insurance. Some have

set the figure as high as 50 percent.

大学英语四级训练题参考答案

6月大学英语四级训练题参考答案作文【答案】 Living alone or Living with Roommates Nowadays, there has appeared a heated discussion among the college students as to whether they should live alone outside the campus or l ive together with other roommates in the students’ dormitory. Opinions are divided over the matter. Those who are in favor of Living alone maintain that it is very convenient to live by themselves. They can enjoy absolute freedom in a room of their own. They can have their own timetable without disturbing others. They are also free to equip the room with a personal computer so that they can have easy access to the Internet. But others argue that living with roommates has attractions of its own. With sever al students sharing the same room, each person’s experiences can be greatly enriched. They can learn a lot from talking to one another. By learning to tolerate the differences between individuals, they can become more mature. As far as I’m concerned, I pr efer to live with roommates because I love the feeling of belonging. Besides, it is a lot cheaper to live in a dorm than to rent a apartment outside the campus.

长篇阅读——匹配题 Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2. Passage 1 Paper — More than Meets the Eye A) We are surrounded by so much paper and card that it is easy to forget just how complex it is. There are many varieties and grades of paper materials, and it is fairly easy to spot the varieties, it is far more difficult to spot the grades. B) It needs to be understood that most paper and card is manufactured for a specific purpose, so that whilst the corn-flake packet may look smart, it is clearly not something destined for the archives. It is made to look good, but only needs a limited life span. It is also much cheaper to manufacture than high grade card. C) Paper can be made from an almost endless variety of cellulose（纤维素化合物）-based material which will include many woods, cottons and grasses of which is an example and from where we get the word "paper". Many of these are very specialized, but the of paper making has been from soft wood and cotton or , with the bulk being wood-based. Paper from Wood D) In order to make wood into paper it needs to be broken down into fine strands. Firstly by powerful and then boiled with strong alkalies(碱) such as caustic soda, until a fine of fibers is produced. It is from this pulp that the final product is made, relying on the bonding together of the cellulose into layers. That, in a very small nutshell, is the essence of paper making from wood. However, the reality is rather more complicated. In order to give us our white paper and card, the makers will add and other materials such as china clay and additional chemicals. E) A further problem with wood is that it contains a material that is not cellulose. Something called . This is essential for the tree since it holds the cellulose fibres together, but if it is incorporated into the manufactured paper it presents archivists with a problem. Lignin eventually breaks down and releases acid products into the paper. This will weaken the bond between the cellulose fibers and the paper will become brittle and look rather brown and careworn. We have all seen this in old newspapers and cheap paperback books. It has been estimated that most paperback books will have a life of no greater than fifty years, not what we need for our archives. F) Since the lignin can be removed from the paper pulp during manufacture, the obvious question is "why is it left in the paper". The answer lies in the fact that lignin makes up a considerable part of the tree. By leaving the lignin in the pulp a papermaker can increase his paper yield from a tree to some 95%. Removing it means a yield of only 35%. It is clearly uneconomic to remove the lignin for many paper and card applications. It also means, of course, that lignin-free paper is going to be more expensive. G) However, it is nevertheless what the must look for in his supplies. There is no point whatsoever in carefully placing our valuable artifacts in paper or card that is going to their . Acid is particularly harmful to photographic materials, causing them to fade and in some cases simply vanish! H) So, how do we tell a piece of suitable paper or card from one that is unsuitable You cannot do it by simply looking, and rather disappointingly, you cannot always rely on the label. "Acid-free" might be true inasmuch as a test on the paper may indicate that it is a neutral material at this time. But lignin can take years before it starts the inevitable process of breaking down, and in the right conditions it will speed up enormously. I) Added to this, as I have indicated earlier, paper may also contain other materials added during manufacture such as bleach, china clay, chemical whiteners and size. This looks like a bleak picture, and it would be but for the fact that there are suppliers who will
