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

英语专业四级考试词汇语法真题及解析

2016年英语专业四级考试词汇语法真题 参考答案与解析 11. How can I concentrate if you _________ continually ______ me with silly questions? A. have… interrupted B. are… interrupted C. had… interrupting D. were… interrupting 选A。虽然我觉得更应该说you are continually interrupting me with silly questions。不过这里用现在完成时表示的是一个动作发生过成为过去经历,有可能多次发生,也就是打断一次、两次、三次等等不断重复到现在。 12. Among the four sentences below, Sentence ___ expresses the highest degree of possibility? A. It may take a long time to find a solution to the problem. B. It might take a long time to find a solution to the problem. C. It could take a long time to find a solution to the problem. D. It should take a long time to find a solution to the problem. 选D。四个里把握度最高的是should,其次是may,最后是might和could。 13. She is a better speaker than _____ in the class. A. any boy B. the other boys C. other any girl D. all the girls 选A。主语是she,女的,所以不能选B。C的正确说法是any other girl。 14. Nobody heard him sing, ______? A. did one B. did he C. didn’t they D. did they 选B。根据专四语法出题依据的书《新编英语语法教程》(章振邦)317页,nobody这种附加疑问句,书面语里用he。口语里偶见they。实际上,现代英语里为了避免有语言歧视(为什么只有he,没有she),很多人都避免只用he,而多改为they。 15. I can’t put up with ________. A. that friend of you B. that friend of yours C. the friend of you D. the friend of yours 选B。根据专四语法出题依据的书《新编英语语法教程》(章振邦)57-58页,这种双重属格结构所修饰的名词可带a, any, some等表示非确定特指的限定词,但通常不带定冠词。比如a daughter of Mrs. Green’s, any/some daughters of Mrs/ Green’s。 16. There has been an increasing number of _______ in primary schools in the past few years. A. man teacher B. men teacher C. man teachers D. men teachers 选D。合成名词复数,man/woman这种,两种都要变成复数,比如women drivers。

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .

大学英语四级改革阅读理解新题型—匹配题练习(最新)

大学英语四级改革阅读理解新题型——匹配题 练习1 Caring for elderly parents catches many unprepared [A ] Last July, Julie Baldocchi,s mother had a massive stroke and was paralyzed. Baldocchi suddenly had to become a family caregiver, something that she wasn"t prepared for. “I was flying by the seat of my pants,” says Baldocchi, an employment specialist in San Francisco. Both of her parents are 83, and she knew her father couldn’t handle her mother’s care. The hospital recommended putting her mother in a nursing home. Baldocchi wasn’t willing to do that. But moving her back into her parents’ home created other problems. Baldocchi, 48, is married and lives about a mile away from her parents. She has a full-time job and has back problems that make it difficult for her to lift her mother. “I couldn’t do it all,” she says. “But I didn’t even know how to find help.” [B] With help from the Family Caregiver Alliance, she eventually hired a live-in caregiver. “But even if you plan intellectually and legally, you’re never ready for the emotional impact,” Baldocchi says. In the first two months after her mother’s stroke, she lost about 30 pounds as stress mounted. More than 42 million Americans provide family caregiving for an adult who needs help with daily activities, according to a 2009 survey by the AARP. An additional 61.6 million provided at least some care during the year. And many are unprepared. [C] While many parents lack an advance care directive, it’s the most basic and important step they can take. The directive includes several parts, including: a durable power of attorney, which gives someone legal authority to make financial decisions on another’s behalf; a health care proxy, which is similar to the power of attorney, except it allows someone to make decisions regarding medical treatment; and a living will that outlines instructions for end-of-life care. (For example, parents can say if they want to be kept alive by artificial measures.) “It’s invaluable for the kids, because it’s hard to make those decisions for a parent,”says Jennifer Cona, an elder- law attorney at Genser Dubow Genser & Cona in Melville, N.Y. An advance care directive is the first line of defense if a situation arises, says Kathleen Kelly, executive director of the Family Caregiver Alliance, which supports and educates caregivers. Without an advance directive, the family will have to petition the court to be appointed the parent’s legal guardian, says https://www.wendangku.net/doc/b617129644.html,.

英语专业四级考试介绍

解码英语专业四级和专业八级考试 作者:唐静文章来源:北京新东方学校点击数:1629 更新时间:2006-6-29 11:28:05 【字体:小大】 英语专业学生的考试(TEM, Test for English Majors),它是由国家教育部下属的英语专业教学指导委员会组织实施,主要针对我国英语专业学生的考试,考试证书由教育部颁发,所以具有很高的权威性。 由于其指向性几乎是只对英语专业的学生开放,只有少数非英语专业的学生能够在自己学校许可的情况下参加,专四和专八证书在目前各种英语水平测试中就显得更加神秘。在2004年公布的修订后的高校英语专业四级和八级考试大纲中,考试难度的增加,让专四和专八考试更显得高深莫测。 本文的主要目的是对英语专业考试进行一个简单的介绍,并且试图对专四和专八本身的变化进行对比,同时还试图比较英语专业考试和大学英语考试,让大家对英语专业学生的考试有一个初步了解,从而揭开英语专业考试的神秘面纱。 一、解码 1.专四考试的题型介绍 专四考试主要检测英语专业基础阶段(即英语专业大二下期)学生的水平,主要考查学生英语听、说、读、写等英语基本功。 根据2004年最新修订后的《高校英语专业四级考试大纲》,专四整个考试所需要的时间是130分钟,试卷总分140分,评分时采用记权分式,把得分折算为百分制,以60分为及格标准。考试共分听写、听力理解、完形填空、语法和词汇、阅读理解、写作六个部分。试卷上题型、题数、计分和做题时间如下表:

2.专八考试的题型介绍 专八考试主要针对英语专业高年级阶段(即英语专业大四下期)学生的水平,不但考查学生语言基本功,还要考查学生“学习英语专业知识和相关专业知识,进一步扩大知识面,增加对文化差异的敏感性,提高综合运用英语进行交际的能力”。也就是说,不但要考查学生英语的“听、说、读、写”的基本功,还要考查学生对“英汉互译,英语国家概况,语言学,文学”等各个方面的知识。 根据2004年最新修订后的《高校英语专业八级考试大纲》,专四整个考试所需要的时间是185分钟,试卷总分100分,评分时采用记权分式,把得分折算为百分制,以60分为及格标准。考试共分听力理解、阅读理解、人文知识、改错、翻译和写作六个部分。试卷上题型、题数、计分和做题时间如下表:
