The oyster tries to protect itself by producing a white 29______ that looks like milk. The oyster covers the sand with a 30______ fluid which protects itself. Later the white liquid becomes hard and forms a shell, or a bead, around the sand. At this time a pearl is beginning to 31_____.

The white pearl grows slowly inside the oyster's shell. Usually, it takes about six or seven years for the oyster to produce a pearl.

Of course, not all oysters produce pearls even though most oysters 32_____ take sand into their shells. Only sand which the oyster cannot get rid of will 33______ it. In other words, if an oyster "swallows" some sand, it will try to "split it out".

statement on Answer Sheet 2.

No, Seriously: No Excuses

A.In the early days of the education reform movement, a decade or so ago, you'd often hear from reformers a powerful rallying cry,"No excuses." For too long, they said, poverty had been

used as an excuse by complacent (自满的) educators and bureaucrats who refused to believe

that poor students could achieve at high levels. Reform-minded school leaders took the

opposite approach, insisting that students in the South Bronx should be held to the same standards as kids in Scarsdale. Amazingly enough, those high expectations often paid off, producing test results at some low-income urban schools that would impress parents in any affluent suburb,

B. Ten years later, you might think that reformers would be feeling triumphant. Spurred in part by the Obama administration's Race to the Top initiative, many states have passed laws reformers have long advocated: allowing for more charter schools, weakening teachers' tenure (终生职

位) protections, compensating teachers in part based on their students performance. But in fact, the mood in the reform camp seems increasingly anxious and defensive.

C. Last month, Diane Ravitch, an education scholar who has emerged as the most potent critic of the reform movement, wrote an Op Ed for this newspaper arguing that raising high poverty schools to consistently high levels of proficiency is much more difficult and less common than reformers make it out to be. When politicians hold up specific schools in low income neighborhoods as success stories, Ravitch wrote, those successes often turn out, on closer examination, to be less spectacular than they appear. She mentioned the Bruce Randolph School in Denver, which President Obama singled out as an example of "what good schools

can do," and the Urban Prep Academy in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood. Each school graduates a very high percentage of its seniors, but, Ravitch said, test scores at those schools suggested that students were below average in the basic academic skills necessary for success

in college and in life.

D. The backlash(激烈反应) was quick and intense. Duncan said that Ravitch was "insulting all of the hardworking teachers, principals and students all across the country who are proving her wrong every day. " Jonathan Alter, a columnist for Bloomberg View, wrote that she was "sliming reformers" and later, when he and Ravitch appeared together on a Denver radio show, accused her of "abusing statistics" in her analysis of the schools achievement test scores.

E. The Bruce Randolph school, Alter explained, "should not be compared to other Colorado schools in affluent neighborhoods" ; to consider Randolph's scores alongside those of white, middle class schools was like "comparing apples and oranges." Instead, he argued, the school should be judged on the "stunning" fact that its ninth grade writing proficiency rates had doubled since 2007, improving to 15 percent of the class from 7 percent, and that its ninth grade math proficiency rates had risen to 14 percent of the class from 5 percent.

F. A week later, the founder of Urban Prep, Tim King, took to the Huffington Post to defend his school against Ravitch's charges. King acknowledged that just 17 percent of his 11th grade students passed the statewide achievement test last year, while in the Chicago public schools

as a whole, the comparable figure was 29 percent. But echoing Alter's fruit metaphor, he wrote thatRavitch was comparing "apples to grapefruits" by holding the students at Urban Prep, who are almost all black males from low-income families, to the standards of " children from all across Chicago. "

Q. To point out the obvious: These are excuses. In fact, they are the very same excuses for failure that the education reform movement was founded to oppose. (If early reformers believed in anything, it was that every student is an apple. ) And not only are they excuses;they aren't

even particularly persuasive ones. By any reasonable measure, students at Bruce Randolph are doing very badly. The average ACT score at Randolph last year was 14, the second lowest average of any high school in Denver, placing students in the bottom 10 percent of ACT test takers nationwide. In the middle school, composite scores on state tests put students at the first percentile(百分位) in reading and writing (meaning that at 99 percent of Colorado schools, students are scoring better, and at the fifth percentile in math.As for Urban Prep: demographic data show that the school's students are not, in fact, disadvantaged grapefruits among well to

do apples when compared with the city's student population as a whole; 84 percent of its students are low income and 99. 8 percent arenonwhite, while in Chicago public schools, 86 percent of students are low income and 91 percent are nonwhite.

H. We can quibble (推托)about fruit all day, but a more productive response would be to recommit to the principle that 15 (or 17) percent proficiency just isn't good enough, no matter where you live. To acknowledge this fact is not to say that reform is doomed; it is not blaming students or insulting teachers. It is merely reminding ourselves that the 83 percent of 11th

grade students at Urban Prep who didn't pass the state exam, and the 85 percent of 9th grade students at Bruce Randolph who didn't pass the state writing test, deserve better.

I. So why are some reformers resorting to excuses? Most likely for the same reason that urban educators from an earlier generation made excuses: successfully educating large numbers of

low income kids is very, very hard. But it is not impossible, as reformers have repeatedly demonstrated on a small scale. To achieve systemwide success, though, we need a shift in strategy.

J. The reformers policy goals are, in most cases, quite worthy. Yes, contracts should be renegotiated so that the best teachers are given incentives (激励，鼓励) to teach in the poorest schools, and yes, school systems should extend the school day and school year for low income students, as many successful charter schools have done. But these changes are not nearly sufficient. As Paul Reville, the Massachusetts secretary of education, wrote recently in Education Week, traditional reform strategies "will not, on average, enable us to overcome the barriers to student learning posed by the conditions of poverty. " Reformers also need to take concrete steps to address the whole range of factors that hold poor students back. That doesn't mean sitting around hoping for Utopian social change. It means supplementing classroom strategies with targeted, evidencebasedinterventions outside the classroom: working intensively with the most disadvantaged families to improve home environments for young children; providing high quality early childhood education to children from the neediest families; and, once school begins, providing low income students with a robust system of emotional and psychological support, as well as academic support.

K. School reformers often portray these efforts as a distraction from their agenda—something for someone else to take care of while they do the real work of wrestling with the teachers unions. But in fact, these strategies are essential to the success of the school reform movement. Pretending they are not is just another kind of excuse.

36. In Chicago public schools, the percentage of low-income students is higher than that of Urban Prep.

37. To acknowledge that 15 (or 17) percent proficiency just isn't good enough is reminding ourselves that those who didn't pass the state exam deserve better.

38. Those strategies for helping low incomes out are essential to the success of the school reform movement.

39. Urban educators from an earlier generation made excuses that successfully educating large numbers of low income kids is very hard but not impossible.

40. The ninthgrade math proficiency rates of Bruce Randolph School had risen by 9 percent.

41. Diane Ravitch was charged with "abusing statistics" on a Denver radio show.

42. Reformers need to provide low income students with a robust system of emotional, psychological supports and academic support.

43. Diane Ravitch thought that raising high-poverty schools to consistently high levels of proficiency is much more difficult and less common than what reformers expect.

44. The students at Urban Prep are almost all black males from low income families.

45. Allowing for more charter schools, weakening teachers' tenure protections and compensating teachers in part based on their students' performance are long-term goals for reformers.

Section C

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 Answer Sheet1 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

What does the typical American or Canadian usually eat? Most people think that the typical North American diet consists of fast foods —hamburgers and French fries. It also includes convenience foods, usually frozen or canned, "junk food", without much food value —candy, potato chips, cereal with lots of sugar but no vitamins — and so on. This diet is very high in sugar, salt, fat, and cholesterol (胆固醇) and the choice of food does not provide much good nutrition. However, eating habits are changing. North Americans are becoming more interested in good health, and nutrition is an important part of health. People are eating less red meat and fewer eggs, and they are eating more chicken and fish. They know that chicken and fish are better for their health than meat or eggs because these foods do not contain much fat or cholesterol. Some foods might cause health problems, and people want to stay away from them.

For health reasons, many people are also buying more fresh vegetables. They may eat them without cooking them first, or they might cook them quickly in very little water because they want to keep the vitamins.

The "typical" North American diet now includes food from many different countries. More ethnic restaurants are opening in big cities in the United States and Canada. Foods from Japan, Thailand, Mexico, West Africa, China, and India are very popular.

How are we going to eat in the future? We will probably continue to eat more fish and vegetables and less meat. We will still buy convenience foods, but frozen foods will be better for our health, and canned foods will have less salt and sugar. Our "junk food" in the future is not really going to be "junk" at all, because instead of candy bars we are going to eat "nutrition bars" with a lot of vitamins and protein. In the future, our diet will probably be even more interesting and healthful than it is now.

46. What does “junk food” refer to?

A) The food which can be served fast. B) The food which cooks well.

C) The food which is short of nutrition. D) The food which contains less sugar.

47. North Americans are changing their eating habits because now ______.

A) they are paying more attention to food nutrition

B) they can produce more chicken and fish

C) food prices are becoming higher and higher

D) food problems are becoming more and more serious

48. What eating habit are some North Americans getting into?

A) Eating fresh vegetables and fruits only.

B) Eating more raw fresh vegetables.

C) Eating food full of vitamins.

D) Eating out in different foreign restaurants.

49. What will happen to the foods in North America in the future?

A) More convenient foods will be produced.

B) The canned foods will be without salt and sugar.

C) The "junk food" will no longer exist.

D) The diet we have will be all healthful.

50. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A) Different Eating Habits B) The Popular Western Foods

C) Foods in North America D) Changes in Diet of North Americans Passage Two

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

For many African people, life changed dramatically in recent years. This is especially true far the Tuareg people of north-central Africa. Historically, the Tuaregs led the life of nomads (游牧民), people without permanent home. They traveled across the Sahara Desert in caravans (商队) of camels, carrying goods between Arab Africa in the north and black Africa in the south.

The Tuaregs were a light-skinned Berber people, with a culture and language of their own. Europeans called them the "blue men" of the desert because they dressed all in blue, even their shoes. They were well known for their great skill in finding their way across the open desert with the only stars to guide them. They were also known for their independent spirit. In fact, they loved the nomad way of life. National borders had no meaning for them in the desert. Duringthe eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Africa was divided up and ruled by various European countries, but this did not affect the Tuaregs, who continued to move freely.

In the middle-twentieth century, however, there were big changes in Africa. In many countries, black Africans began to break free of European rule and set up their own governments. As the new governments gained power, national borders became more important and it became more difficult for the Tuaregs to travel and trade.

At the same time, another big change had come to the area. People were beginning to use motor vehicles for traveling across the desert. Cars and trucks were faster and more efficient than camels. Thus, the Tuaregs caravans lost their important role in the desert. The old way of life was now definitely over.

The question was how could the Tuaregs now make a living? They noticed that the people living near water holes could plant vegetable gardens and suffered less from the drought. Soon Tuaregs began to settle down near the old watering places in the desert. They began to grow vegetables and fruit trees.

Now many of Tuaregs miss their caravan days and some dream of teaching their children the old ways, but instead, they are teaching them to be farmers.

51. Where are Tuareg people living now?

A) In the Sahara Desert. B) In north Africa.

C) In south Africa. D) In north-central Africa.

52. The distinctive feature of the Tuareg people was that______.

A) they had light skin B) they all dressed in blue

C) they spoke their own language D) they led a unique way of life

53. What was the situation of Africa in the middle-twentieth century?

A) Europeans and black Africans set up their own borders.

B) Africa was divided up and controlled by European powers.

C) Many African countries were out of control of Europeans.

D) There were fierce battles between black Africans and Europeans.

54. What is the main factor that made the Tuaregs caravans lose their importance?

A) Black Africans set up their own governments.

B) People used motor vehicles for transportation in the desert.

C) The Tuaregs lost their important traveling tool — camels.

D) National borders became important in Africa.

55. Tuaregs are now living their lives by______.

A) setting down to grow vegetables and fruits

B) moving from one water hole to another

C) carrying goods with cars and trucks

D) teaching their children how to be farmers

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新试题2

大学英语四级考试模拟新试题2 Part ⅠWriting 第1题： For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief account of cases of excessive or unnecessary tests prescribed by some doctors and then explain the reasons and consequences of those irresponsible practices in some hospitals and make your suggestions about it . You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. 参考答案： [参考范文] "You"re in excellent health. I"ll need to run some tests until I find something wrong with you." The caption in the picture reveals an embarrassing fact that patients have to go through many unnecessary tests such as X-rays and ultrasound scan prescribed by the doctor and pay the expensive bills when going to hospital. It"s unbelievable that some doctors should do such things. Regarded as angels who save the wounded and rescue the dying, some doctors only want to earn money in reality. Prescribing many tests for patients is the best way to achieve their goals. As a result, with a surge in medical disputes, conflicts between doctors and patients are increasingly intensified to an unprecedented degree. In my opinion, the government should take measures to tackle this issue. Firstly, the government should regulate and supervise the price of medical examinations and drugs. Secondly, an inspection mechanism should be established to monitor hospitals. Only when the problem of excessive medical tests is solved can doctor-patient relationship be improved. 详细解答： Part ⅡListening Comprehension Section A [听力原文] 听力原文：Rising levels of obesity and unhealthy weights could be linked to 670,000 extra cases of cancer in the next 20 years, a UK report predicts. If current trends continue, experts say, almost three in four adults could be overweight or obese by 2035, bringing a host of health issues. Their work suggests a rise in the number of people who are overweight or obese would contribute to 4.6 million additional cases of type-2 diabetes and 1.6 million extra cases of heart disease by 2035. The report recommends a number of ways to tackle this problem, including introducing a 20 pence per litre tax on sugary drinks and a review of how food is advertised online. Department of Health officials said they had already brought in a ban on adverts featuring junk food during children′s TV programmes and would be launching a childhood obesity strategy shortly.
