Part II Reading Comprehension(30 points)
Directions:There are several passages in this part. 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
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
During the nineteenth century, the mechanization of farming and the fencing of rangeland opened the agricultural heart of North America to intensive development. As the natural geographic center of this region, Chicago became the crossroads of a vast transportation network. The great waterway systems of the Mississippi valley and the Great Lakes were linked in Chicago in 1847, when the Illinois-Michigan Canal was opened to traffic. Within the next year, rail lines began to operate trains to and from the city. The rise of agricultural activity demanded facilities for the storage and milling of grain, the slaughtering of cattle, and the processing and shipment of meat. The manufacture of farm machinery branched out into the basic metal-fabricating and wood working industries. This soon attracted banks and other financial institutions. Four years after the end of the Civil War, Chicago was already established as the focal point of the largest system of inland waterways in the world and the hub of a rail network that extended to the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts. The productive potential of the city was unparalleled, and the pace of its industrial expansion reached explosive (激增的) proportions.
21. What is the main topic of passage?
A) The effects of the Civil War on the development of Chicago.
B) The effects of intensive farming in North America.
C) The evolution of Chicago as an industrial center.
D) The impact of agriculture on industrial development.
22. Why did Chicago initially begin to grow?
A) It was located in the middle of a productive area.
B) Its industries attracted jobless people.
C) It could provide food for a large local population.
D) Its wealthy inhabitants invested their money there.
23. When did Chicago’s first railroad service begin?
A) 1846.
B) 1847.
C) 1848.
D) 1849.
24. Chicago was primarily important to the cattle industry as a ________.
A) market for meat
B) breeding center
C) center of metal-fabricating and woodworking industries
D) place to finance cattle purchases
25. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a major factor in Chicago’s growth?
A) New railroad lines.
B) Innovative farm equipment.
C) Increased water transportation networks.
D) Rising demand for the manufacture of explosives.
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
Shanghai, literally the “City on the Sea”, has in the 1990s become the center of China’s economic development. Lying on the Yangzi River delta (三角洲), it marks the point where Asia’s longest and most important river completes its 5,500km journey to the Pacific. Until 1842, Shanghai’s location made it merely a small fishing village. After the First Opium War, the British named Shanghai a treaty (缔约) port, forcing the city’s opening to foreign involvement.
The village was soon turned into a city and in its best time, it was known for the best culture and arts in Asia, the greatest architecture, the strongest business. Today Shanghai has once again become one of China’s most open cities. It now hosts the nation’s stock market,accounts for one-sixth of the country’s GNP, and houses the most important industrial base in the nation.
Shanghai’s open policy has also made the city the new hot attraction for foreign investors. As millions of dollars pour in, especially to Pudong, Shanghai has again become home to tens of thousands of foreigners. Foreign influence has made today’s Shanghai a Chinese consumer’s heaven. With higher salaries, more goods, and more and more means for entertainment, it’s not surprising, then, that the Shanghainese enjoy one of the highest living standards in China.
26. In the early nineteenth century, Shanghai was ________.
A) only a small village
B) a prosperous city
C) forced to open to foreign ships
D) an important port in China

C) Shanghai’s location is very poor
D) Shanghai is near the Pacific
28. Which description of today’s Shanghai is NOT true?
A) It is one o f China’s open cities.
B) It is an ideal place for consumers.
C) It boasts the nation’s stock market.
D) It hosts most of the nation’s industrial bases.
29. Foreign investors come to Shanghai for ________.
A) its unique location
B) its preferential policies
C) its vast area
D) its glorious history
30. Which of the following sentences can be used as a best example to support the sentence “Foreign influence has made today’s Shanghai a Chinese consumer’s heaven”?
A) World-famous brands can be found here and there.
B) Many foreigners pour into Shanghai.
C) Many Shanghaineses go to study abroad.
D) Foreign films are on show in many theatres.
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
At present, there are many ways to travel, that is, we can choose different ways to got to some place.
In China, more and more people have their own cars. Therefore, the roads are getting busier and busier sometimes there are many traffic jams, especially in the big cities. How can we solve this problem? On the earth the population is growing larger and larger and there will be less and less space. So some scientists are trying to make a new kind of car---a flying car. A flying car is a car that not only runs on the road, but also flies in the sky whenever there is heavy traffic. It is just like a bat, as it has wings. When the car runs on the ground, the wings are folded. However, when it flies, the wings are unfolded. It can fly at the height of 1,500-3,000 metres, and it can fly at the speed of 600 kilometers per hour.
There will be another kind of train in the future. Maybe it will be called the “flying train”---it looks like a plane, but it has no wings. It can run near the ground but it doesn’t touch the ground. It will be much faster than any train currently available. A Japanese scientist says this kind of flying train can be made by the year 2020.
So perhaps it is possible that cars and trains can fly in the sky in the future. Actually, the future plane may fly not only in the sky, but also under-ground. Yes, it will be called the “under-ground plane.” At present, it is still just an idea in scientist’s mind. According to the idea, an underground plane has two storeys . It can hold 400 people. The plane will be 50 meters long, four meters tall and over two meters wide. It will be a rectangle(长方形). Its wings are in the middle of the plane. At the bottom, there are two pairs of wheels. They are used when the plane lands. When the plane is flying, it is one meter above the ground. Some scientists think that this kind of plane is better than the airplanes we have now.
31. Why do scientists want to make “flying car” and flying train”?
A) Because the roads are getting more and more crowded.
B) Because the population on earth is increasing.
C) Because we will have less and less space.
D) Because people need new modes of transportation.
32. A flying car .
A) folds its wings when it runs on the ground
B) flies in the sky as its name indicates
C) keeps its wings unfolded
D) is even faster than future planes
33. Which of the following statements is true about the “flying train” ?
A) It looks just like a plane with no wings.
B) It can fly or run directly on the ground.
C) A Japanese is hopeful of making one such train.

A) It flies underground as well as in the sky.
B) It has two storeys in the shape of a square.
C) It has two pairs of wheels in the middle.

Part II Reading Comprehension(30 points)
Directions:There are several passages in this part. 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
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
Nearly everyo ne agrees that money doesn’t buy as much as it used to, no matter where you want to spend it. This is certainly true of the paper money that passes so quietly through one’s hands. Inflation steadily eats away its buying power. But what about coins? Unlike notes, metal money becomes more valuable the longer it is held, especially if it is put away where it won’t get scratched or worn. Why is this? One reason is that coins, being more durable, fall more readily into a category for collectors. Naturally, the rarer gold pieces must become more valuable as the price of this metal goes up.
But, curiously, one of the rarest coins in the world is not made of gold, but of the relatively cheaper silver. In 1804, the United States mint struck 19,570 silver dollars. That is what its records show. Today only six of this original number remains and these six are unlikely ever to reach the auction (拍卖) market. So what happened to some 19,564 large silver coins, not the easiest sort of things to lose? One of the more romantic theories is that they were part of the payment to Napoleon (拿破仑) for the American territory then known as Louisiana. But they never reached France. Somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico, the ship transporting them was sunk, either by a storm or by pirates (海盗). The probable answer to the mystery is that they were melted down since the silver value was greater than the actual value of the coin. What really happened to the rest will probably always remain a mystery. What is known is that whoever can come up with one will find himself instantly rich.
21. People agree that paper money buys ________.
A) as much as it used to
B) less than it used to
C) more than it used to
D) nearly as much as it used to
22. The value of coins ________.
A) increases with time
B) increases wherever it changes hand
C) never changes
D) decreases with time
23. One of the rarest coins in the World is ________.
A) gold
B) silver
C) nickel
D) an alloy
24. Something happened to the other silver dollars. Which of the following answer is TRUE?
A) They went to France.
B) They went down with a ship in bad weather.
C) They were melted down.
D) Nobody knows the truth.
25. The best title for the passage should be ________.
A) The Value of Money
B) Paper Money
C) Metal Money
D) Coin-Collecting
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book lover or only there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive design is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather uninteresting book. You soon become lost in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must hurry to keep some forgotten appointment --- without buying a book, of course.
The opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can go to such places as much as you wish. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting: “Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop, an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. You may want to find out where a particular section is. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. But when he has led you there, the assistant should leave politely and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.
26. The best title for this passage may be “________”.
A) The Attraction of Bookshops
B) How to Spend Your Time
C) Bookshops and Their Assistants
D) Buying Books
27. According to the author, the best way to escape the realities of everyday life is ________.
A) to chat with assistants in a bookshop
B) to take a walk in the streets
C) to make some appointment in a bookshop
D) to stay reading books of various kinds in a bookshop
28. In a good bookshop, ________.
A) all the books there are interesting
B) you enjoy yourself very much
C) you can find shelter from a shower
D) you need to buy something you don’t want
29. An assistant in a bookshop helps you ________.
A) on your entering the shop
B) just before you finish reading
C) only when you want to find out where a particular section is
D) when you are reading
30. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A) Time spent in a bookshop can be enjoyable only for book lovers.
B) There are only a few places where it is possible to escape the realities of life.
C) People go to bookshops only to buy books.
D) A book with an attractive design must be an interesting one.

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

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

Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. 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 center. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids (小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists. Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids (流星) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth. Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course. Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn’t be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk re: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare—but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It’s that simple.” The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday (毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,” said a New York Times article. 21. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids? A) They are heavenly bodies different in composition. B) They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.
英语4级模拟测试及答案
模拟测试试题参考答案 作文 Will E-books replace traditional books? Recent decades have seen the rapid development of information technology, and thereby E-books have wound their way into our daily life. Because of the wide and quick popularity of E-books, there has been an increasing controversy over the question of whether E-books will replace traditional books or not. Many people hold the idea that it will not take long for E-books to replace traditional books because E-books have quite a few advantages over traditional ones. First, E-books are more accessible to readers, because the readers just need to log onto the internet and read online. Second, thanks to the advanced technology, the cost of E-books is much lower, so it takes readers far less money to buy E-books. Last but not the least, reading E-books has developed into part of our daily life, which is particularly appealing to young users, who are the body part of the users of electronic products. As far as I’m concerned, it is not likely for E-books to replace traditional books for lots of reasons. For example, long time of reading E-books will do more harm to our eyes, and readers will find themselves more accessible to printed materials because computers and the internet haven’t yet been popularized to ever y corner of our life. 阅读 1.
