Part III Reading Comprehension

Section A Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.

Thanks giving is America’s national holiday for giving thanks to God. Thanksgiving Day has s special 26 for Americans because it is traced back to that group of people who were among the first to come to the New World in search of freedom.

In 1620, 102 sea weary(疲倦的) Pilgrims landed on the peninsula of Cape Cod. Their ship, the Mayflower, had 27 to go to Virginia, but it made its landfall far to the north. After some weeks of 28 they decided not to make the trip to Virginia but to remain where they were. But when they stepped ashore in this 29 alien world, they were totally isolated from any outside 30 and knew no means of livelihood. And the greater trouble is that in the woods live Indians, some of whom were 31 . This added to the hardship of daily life. But the vast 32 of forests gave them a hope. In this way, the nation’s forefathers not only 33 the first severe winter, but also saw the first harvest of crops in the next autumn. Their Indian friends were also invited to join their festival.

This story is told every year to young children in schools as Thanksgiving Day (the fourth Thursday of November) 34 .

Today, in US Thanksgiving Day is celebrated by many Americas whose roots do not stem from Britain. Now it is marked by families gathering together to enjoy a 35 dinner for roast turkey, and to tell the things for which they are thankful.

Section B

Wireless Health Care

A.Is it possible that among all the advertisements about Apple’s iPad, one potential use has been

overlooked? Larry Nathanson, head of emergency-medicine “informatics”at one of Harvard Medical School’s hospitals, has experimented with using the device in the patients’ rooms. He writes that “initial tests with our clinical applications went amazingly well...the EKG s (心电图) look better on screen than on paper. It was great having all of the clinical information right at the bedside to discuss with the patient.”

B.Dr. Nathanson’s enthusiasm hints at the potential of wireless instruments to improve health care, and to

ensure more personalized treatment in particular. Experts have long predicted that advances in genetics will bring in a golden age of individually tailored therapies. But in fact it is much lower-tech wireless devices and Internet-based health software that are speeding up the mass personalization of health care, and creating entirely new business models in the process.

C.Wireless health is “becoming universal”in hospitals, according to Kalorama Information, a

market-research firm. It estimates that the market for such devices and services in America alone will grow from $2.7 billion in 2007 to $9.6 billion in 2012. Don Jones of Qualcomm, a maker of networking technology, argues that the trend speeds diagnosis and tr eatment, and saves doctors’ and nurses’ time. GE, an industrial giant, and Sprint, an American mobile operator, have joined forces to offer hospitals such services. GE’s software allows the secure monitoring of patients’ health via mobile phones, as does rival software from Airstrip.

D.Doctors are an obvious early target for wireless health. A forthcoming report by the California Health

Care Foundation (CHCF), a think tank, estimates that two-thirds of American physicians already have smart-phones. Over one-third of American doctors use Epocrates, a program for mobiles and laptops which offers instant information on drug-to-drug interactions, treatment recommendations and so on.

The software will soon be able to access electronic health records (EHRs) via mobiles—which the author of the CHCF’s report thinks could be “the killer application” of wireless health.

E.The hope is that nimble new technologies, from smart-phones to EHRs to health-monitoring devices,

will give more power to patients and doctors, and thus improve outcomes while cutting costs. The popularization of mobile phones is the chief reason to think this optimistic thought may come true.

Patients with smart-phones can certainly benefit from interactive “wellness” applications that track diet, exercise and important signs.

F.But Carolyn Buck-Luce of Ernst & Young, a consultancy, points out that “Mobile Health”is

transforming health care in poor countries as well as rich ones. Medical Home, a Mexican team that provides medical consultations by mobile, already has millions of customers. Paul Meyer of V oxiva, an

American technology firm that has set up Mobile Health systems in Rwanda and Peru, among other places, says that such schemes have been so successful in the developing world that they are now being adopted in the rich world, too. His firm has helped the American government with its recent launch of “Information Baby”, a public-health movement to educate pregnant mothers (they receive free text messages with medical advice) that will soon become the biggest such effort in the world.

G.What is more, mobile phones are but one part of a broader wireless trend in health care that McKinsey, a

consultancy, estimates may soon be worth up to $60 billion globally. Many companies are coming up with “home health”devices based on the wireless technology. Some are obviously used in clinical.

Medtronic, a devices giant, is developing a bedside monitor that wirelessly tracks the blood sugar levels in diabetic children sleeping nearby. GE has come up with “body sensor networks”, tiny wireless devices that track the vital signs of those who wear them.

H.The most successful devices may be, as Eric Dishman of Intel puts it, “secret”. His firm, a big chipmaker,

is investing in devices to track the health of the elderly, such as “magic carpets” that sense erratic (不稳定的) movements and thus can predict a fall. Continua, an industry group, is developing shared standards so that blood-pressure monitors and scales can wirelessly trans fer readings to doctors’ offices or personal EHR services like Google Health.

I.All these devices and services do not just allow doctors to make more accurate diagnoses, prescribe more

effective treatments and keep better track of patients’ conditions. They also allow health services to tailor treatments depending on patients’ personal preferences and behavioral shortcomings. Studies show, for example, that although some patients with long-standing diseases are not caring about taking pills properly, others are careless or forgetful. Some prefer efficient electronic reminders, whereas others respond best when a nurse calls home. A global consumer survey released on April 6th by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC), a consultant company, finds that the elderly prefer high-quality care with lots of personal attention, whereas younger types prefer low-cost care and health schemes.

J.Many health systems, PWC’s report finds, are beginning to divide customers into different categories to arrange treatments accordingly. For example, Discovery Health, a South African insurer, uses a variety of different methods to get patients with diseases to follow through on their treatments, from text messages reminding them to take their pills to rewards for good behavior.

K. A similar scheme run by Health Media, a health firm owned by Johnson & Johnson, a big drugs firm, uses online tools (it calls them “digital health coaches”) to help patients manage diabetes and lose weight.

Its studies suggest that half of the digitally directed people do lose weight. And the improved health of those with chronic conditions is worth $1000 a year to their employers. Virgin Health Miles, an American rival, has taken the same idea a step further, using online social networks, through which co-workers or family members can cheer on or remind patients electronically, in order to encourage exercise or weight loss. Patients seem to like this kind of thing: one patient who suffers from heart disease, for example, has created a forum for fellow sufferers that can be accessed through an iPhone application.

L.All these measures are particularly promising because they help bring about behavioral change, normally the hardest element of any treatment. Patients often ignore doctors’ lectures, but are more inclined to listen to supportive friends and family. By the same token, doctors and nurses are not always on hand to encourage healthy behavior, but mobile phones and other wireless gadgets can be. That is something that even personalized genetic therapies could not offer.

36. According to PWC, the elderly prefer high-quality care while the young prefer low-cost care.

37. Patients often ignore doctors’ lecture, but are more likely to follow the advice of supportive friends and

family.

38. The main aim of “magic carpets” is to predict when the elderly will fall.

39. According to PWC’s report, many health systems are starting to divide customers into different categories

so that they can arrange treatments accordingly.

40. People believe nimble new technologies will help patients and doctors greatly because mobile phones are

widely used.

41. According to Don Jones, the wide use of wireless health devices in hospitals quickens diagnosis and

treatment.

42. According to Larry Nathanson, iPad can be used in clinical applications.

43. At the beginning, wireless health aims at doctors in the hospital.

44. The scheme run by Health Media suggests that half of the people who use its online tools do lose weight.

45. The lower-tech wireless devices and Internet-based health software promote the mass personalization of

health care.

Section C

Passage One Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

Academic qualification’s value in the workplace is a big issue for students, policymakers and taxpayers, especially as the rising numbers of students in higher education make them less distinctive. In the latest annual report on education by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), a rich-country think-tank, the answer is clear: the pay-off from tertiary education(高等教育) is still good, both for the individual and the economy. Most graduates take jobs fitting their qualifications, earn more than non-graduates, and thus tend to pay more in taxes.

The workforce is smartening up. In the OECD 35% of the 25- to 34-year-old workforce has completed tertiary education, compared with 20% of the cohort approaching retirement. Countries such as Japan and South Korea have invested so heavily in educating their young that more than half now hold post-school qualifications. Norway, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands are close behind. Andreas Schleicher, the OECD’s chief of education research, reckons that these countries may well become more competitive as a result.

The OECD’s compendium (概要) also shows that graduate jobs fared better during the global recession. Data show those who had completed tertiary education were more likely to be employed, and less likely to be unemployed in 2008. Earnings data are from the middle of the decade, so it is not yet clear how the downturn has hit graduate pay.

The “education is good” mantra does not work everywhere. In some countries many students have to be content with the intellectual rewards of study. In Spain, for example, 44% of college- and university-educated youngsters are working in low-skill jobs. America, Canada and Britain also have high shares of graduates working in jobs for which they are overqualified. In lucky Luxembourg hardly any graduates end up in menial jobs.

Salaries vary sharply too. Poland has fewer graduates in non-graduate jobs than America, but the gross earnings of 25- to 34-year-olds with tertiary qualifications in that country is $11,800 compared with $56,200 in the land of the free. Hardly surprising therefore that Polish graduates hanker after jobs in America and that American companies like investing in places such as Poland and Hungary, where they can hire highly qualified labour for far less money than at home.

46. Why does academic qualifications’ value become an important issue?

A. People can find a good job without a good qualification.

B. More and more access to colleges and universities.

C. An increasing number of students lose their own characteristic.

D. Most graduates can find good jobs and pay much more in taxes.

47. Why does the author say the workforce is smartening up?

A. There are many old people approaching retirement.

B. A lot of money is put on the basic education.

C. Some countries are very competitive in education.

D. More people have finished higher education.

48. What is unclear in the third higher education?

A. Whether the earning data are accurate. C. How graduate pay has been affected.

B. How graduates look for jobs. D. Whether more graduates lose their jobs.

49. Why does not the “education is good” mantra work everywhere?

A. In some countries some graduates often lose their jobs.

B. In some countries some graduates cannot find suitable jobs.

C. In some countries some graduates are underqualified.

D. In some countries some graduates can be highly paid.

50. What is hardly surprising according to the author?

A. Graduates in Poland earn more money than those in America.

B. Graduates from Poland would like to look for a job in America.

C. Graduates in Poland are more qualified than those in America.

D. Graduates from Poland always do the low-skilled jobs in America.

Passage Two Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

The two economists call their paper “Mental Retirement,” and their argument has aroused the interest of behavioral researchers. Data from the United States, England and 11 other European countries suggest that the earlier people retire, the more quickly their memories decline.

“It’s incredibly interesting and exciting,” said Laura Carstensen, director of the Center on Longevity at Stanford University. “It suggests work actually provides an important component of the environment that keeps people functioning optimally (最佳地).”

While not everyone is convinced by the new analysis, published recently in T he Journal of Economic Perspectives, a number of leading researchers say the study is, at least, a bit of evidence for a hypothesis that is widely believed but surprisingly difficult to demonstrate.

Researchers repeatedly find that retired people as a group tend to do less well on cognitive (认知的) tests than people who are still working. But, they note, that could be because people whose memories and thinking skills are declining may be more likely to retire than people whose cognitive skills remain sharp.

And research has failed to support the premise that mastering activities like memory exercises, crossword puzzles and games like Sudoku carry over into real life, improve overall functioning.

“If you do crossword puzzles, you get better at crossword puzzles,” said Lisa Berkman, director of the Center for Population and Development Studies at Harvard University. “If you do Sudoku, you get better at Sudoku. You get better at one narrow task. But you don’t get better at cognitive behavior in life.”

The study was possible, explains one of its authors, Robert Willis, a professor of economics at the University of Michigan, because the National Institute on Aging began a large study in the United States

nearly 20 years ago. Called the Health and Retirement Study, it surveys more than 22,000 Americans over age 50 every two years, and administers memory tests.

51. According to the data from America and some European countries, retired people ___________.

A. have aroused the interest of many psychologists

B. are more forgetful than they were at work

C. don’t have a functioning mind any more

D. can have much better cognitive skills

52. In Laura L. Carstensen’s opinion, what is the relationship between work and mental function?

A. Work has nothing to do with people’s mental function.

B. Work has a positive effect on people’s mental function.

C. People’s mental function decreases gradually after work.

D. People’s mental function has no influence on people’s work.

53. Lisa Berkman claimed that Sudoku could ____________.

A. improve man’s overall functioning greatly C. help develop man’s cognitive skills

B. make people good at this narrow task D. help people live much longer

54. What can we learn about the Health and Retirement Study?

A. It has been carried out for about 20 years.

B. It surveys Americans under the age of 50.

C. It is led by Robert Willis in the National Institute.

D. It gets support from the University of Michigan.

55. According to the passage, what does “mental Retirement mean”?

A. People are reluctant to retire at an early age.

B. People have to retire earlier than expected.

C. People’s mental functions will decline even though they are still working.

D. People’s memories and reasoning abilities decline if they are not working.

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

While drinking tea, people also take delight in the essence of tea itself. Chatting over a pot of tea is a very popular way of pastime among Chinese. In the past, they would start the day with a visit to a well-known teahouse. Chinese teahouses would be the equivalent of French cafes and English pubs. People come here not just for tea, but also to discuss local news or to have furious political debates. 难点注释 1.汉语形散神聚，英文结构紧凑。处理第一句时，可以将几个小短句合译为一句结构严谨的英文。先确定句子的主谓宾，其中Tea thinking作句子主语，is可作系动词，本句中有两个并列表语，即“仪式”和“展示”，分别译为：ritual，demonstration。 2.第二句中，“领略”可以译为：take delight in;“品茶的情趣之意”可以译为：the essence of tea itself。 3.第三句中的“打发时间的方式”可以理解为“消遣、娱乐方式”，可译为：a way of pastime. 4.第四句中的“相当于”可以用短语be the equivalent of来表达。 搜索公众微信号""，获取最新四六级报名、备考信息！

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
