Flight of Young Adults Is Causing Alarm UpstateUpstate (州的北部) New York is staggering from an accelerating exodus (大批的离去) of young adults, new census results show. The migration is turning many communities grayer, threatening the long term viability of ailing cities and raising concerns about the state s future tax base.From 1990 to 2004, the number of 25 to 34 year old residents in the 52 counties north of Rockland and Putnam declined by more than 25 percent. In 13 counties that include cities like Buffalo, Syracuse and Binghamton, the population of young adults fell by more than 30 percent. In Tioga County, 42 percent fewer young adults were counted in 2004 than in 1990.“Make no mistake: this is not business as usual,” Robert G. Wilmers, the chairman of M & T Bank in Buffalo, told his shareholders this spring. “The magnitude and duration of population loss among the young is unprecedented in our history. There has never been a previous 10 year period in the history of the upstate region when there has been any decline in this most vital portion of our pop ulation.”In New York City and the five suburban counties in New York State, the number of people aged 18 to 44 increased by 1.5 percent in the 1990 s. Upstate, it declined by 10 percent. Over all, the state population grew by 1.1 percent in the 1990 s —slower than the rate for any state except West Virginia and North Dakota.Population growth upstate might have lagged even more but for the flow of 21,000 prison inmates (囚犯), who accounted for 30 percent of new residents. During the first half of the current decade, the pace of depopulation actually increased in many places.In almost every place upstate, emigration rates were highest among college graduates, producing a brain drain, according to separate analysis of census results for The New York Times by two demographers (人口统计学专家), William Frey of the Brookings Institution and Andrew A. Beveridge of Queens College of the City University of New York. Among the nation s large metropolitan areas, Professor Frey said, Buffalo and Rochester had the highest rates of what he called “bright flight”.Matthew O Brien, a graduate of Siena College in Loudonville, N.Y., was 26 when he left his home in Troy, just northeast of Albany, a decade ago for a better job offer down South. He first moved to South Carolina, and now lives with his wife, Melissa, a Rochester expatriate (移民), and their two children in Tampa, Fla., where he handles manufacturing operations for the company that makes Bubble Wrap packaging.“I guess if I look back and think of the people I went to high schoo l with, they all went away to college, and that might have been a steppingstone to building a career,” Mr. O Brien said. “Not a lot did come back.”Some of the decline in the number of young adults may also have reflected children who left in the 1970 s or 1980 s with their parents. Mr. O Brien s

parents still live in Troy, which was known in the 19th century for the manufacture of detachable (可分离的) collars and also led the nation at one point in iron and steel production. All but two of his eight siblings moved away, though. While the chronic economic woes (悲哀) upstate have been of growing concern for a decade or more, the accelerating departure of young people is considered particularly alarming.It has already been injected into this year s campaign for governor, with both major candidates, Eliot Spitzer and John Faso, highlighting population stagnation there and the need to help spur business https://www.sodocs.net/doc/5710076887.html,st month, after graduating with a master s degree in engineering from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Andrew Allen, 23, returned to his parents home in Greece, a Rochester suburb. He is weighing job possibilities and may pursue a doctoral degree.But staying in Rochester, where his father works at Kodak, the city s second largest employer, is pr obably not one of his options. “Rochester is on the list, but do I think I ll work here? Probably not,” he said. “When you think Rochester, you think Kodak. But you also think layoffs.”Of eight close friends of Mr. Allen s from high school, one is finishing graduate school in Rochester and one has decided to start a career there, he said. The others have left. As more young people depart, the population is aging. In Broome County, the median age rose to 38.2 in 2004 from 33.3 in 1990.“The number of upstate residents 45 or older increased by 15.3 percent, even as the number of young people, on whom they rely to hold jobs and pay taxes, went down sharply,” Mr. Wilmers of M & T Bank said.

Moving OutThe number of young adults was expected to decline naturally as baby boomers, some of whom were younger than 35 in 1990, grew older. Only two counties in the state — Manhattan and Queens — actually gained young adults from 1990 to 2000. From 1990 to 2004, all but one of the state s 62 counties recorded a decline in 25 to 34 year olds, ranging from 1 percent in Manhattan to 42 percent in Tioga.In the Rochester area, Andrew Allen s older sister, Laura Jeanne Hammond, 26, returned to her hometown after graduating in 2001 from the University of Missouri with a journalism degree. She was hired as managing editor of Next Step Magazine, which is distributed in school guidance offices, and also founded a social group, Rochester Area 20 Somethings. “My friends escaped to New York City for a life of poverty and I bought a house and started a family,” she said.Since people in a specific age group in 1990 are not the same people counted in 2004, it would be imprecise to say that the population declines in the 25 to 34 age group represented people who necessarily moved out. In 1999, upstate residents were asked in a poll for M & T Bank if they intended to move to another state in the next five years. Fully 40 percent of 18 to 30 year olds replied yes. Most people said they would head to the South or the West. But among young adults, a high percentage said they were uncertain where they would wind up. Among all people who left Erie County, according to an analysis by M & T Bank of data from 2003 tax returns, about half moved elsewhere in the state. About as many moved to Los Angeles County as moved to either Manhattan or Brooklyn.Rolf Pendall, a Cornell University professor who studied population losses for the Brookings Institution, said: “Upstate New York and the great bulk of the territory of Pennsylvania are unusual in the United States in that this is an urbanized region, with 15 million residents in a couple dozen census defined metropolitan areas. The Upper Great Plains, Lower Mississippi Delta and Appalachia are also regions that have lost population — and have in fact bled people for decades — but they are rural. They share, of course, issues of serious and long term economic transition and transformation.”

Watching too much TV can do more harm than good to teenagers. A new study suggests that teenagers who are 47 active in any way are less likely than their TV watching peers to smoke, drink or take other 48 risks. Researchers found that compared with teens who spent much of their free time in front of the TV, those who were active often had 49 self esteem, and were less prone to 50 behavior like taking drugs, smoking, drinking or having se x. “Across the board, children who engaged in any kind of activity were better off than kids who watched a lot of TV,” said study 51, Dr. Penny Gordon Larsen of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Other studies have linked certain 52 of television programs, such as violence and sex, to children s behavior. But beyond this issue, Gordon Larsen told Reuters Health, kids who spend hours watching TV “miss opportunities” to socialize, develop skills, learn teamwork and have other experiences that their more active peers 53from. That doesn t mean, however, that kids have to be on the football team. The study found that “54” activities like skating and skateboarding —which adults sometimes frown upon —were also related to better self esteem an d less risk taking. Not only should parents 55 their kids to engage in the physical activities they enjoy, Gordon Larsen said, but schools and communities should also do more to 56opportunities for children to be active.

Section B

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］, ［D］. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Mobile office is the mutual product of economic, scientific, and social progress. Mobile office has become a solution that provides users with convenient, prompt, safe, reliable, and reasonably priced communications and office faculty anywhere anytime via the support of mobile interconnection platform (MIP) and its application systems.When you leave your office to attend meetings or travel on business, what would happen to your business routine? Of course, faxes and e mail would be still sent to your fax machine or e mail box, but you cannot read them and make prompt reaction timely. When your clients need you to make some urgent modifications on your work and you are neither in the office nor carrying relevant documents, what can you do? Maybe you have to say “sorry” to the clients.

But, your business will be affected, the clients will be unhappy and disappointed because of your delay, and you will lose a lot of business opportunities.In fact, very frequently, you need to check, reply, distribute, display, modify, or read some materials when you are not in your office. You must get out of this dilemma. The best solution to normally handle your business anywhere anytime and not to disappoint your clients is to let your office “move” with you. Thus, you can have convenient, prompt, safe, reliable, and reasonably priced communications and office faculty anywhere anytime. With the development of communications technology, network application, and wireless interconnection, mobile office has become simpler and smaller, and even can be realized via one mobile phone with data communications function. Thus, mobile office has already been put into your pocket, and office mobility has been realized.Mobile office has provided people with convenient, casual working environment, but at the same time it still has some unsatisfactory aspects such as mismatching equipment interface(接口，界面) and inadequate battery. Nevertheless, we believe that with technical progress, people can certainly overcome all kinds of difficulties. Mobile office will make your career successful, and will realize the dream of completely free communication. Users will enjoy more colorful life and better working environment, and users living standard, working efficiency, and even enterprises production efficiency will certainly be immensely raised.

［365 words］

57. It can be inferred from the passage that .

［A］the cost of communications through mobile office is very high

［B］with the development of science, mobile office comes to our life inevitably

［C］people had no convenient and reliable communications and office faculty before

［A］has some fatal shortcomings ［B］is too expensive to afford

［C］will be realized in the future［D］will be perfected despite difficulties

Passage Two

Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient institution which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was

always wicked and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity has changed this. Either man will abolish war, or war will abolish man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the greatest danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer a greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing, but by arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change age old mental habits, but that is what must be attempted.There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a profound error. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic assertions which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their supporters believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them.The movement of world opinion during the past two years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the international sphere, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we should live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West, but between Man and the H bomb.

［346 words］

62. The first passage implies that .

［A］war now is more dangerous than in the past

［B］war has existed ever since mankind came to birth

［C］today s world is actually a battle between forces

［D］peace goes along with various wars

63. According to the author, .

［A］it is important to make justice out of war

［B］it is easy to abolish war with agreed principles of law

［C］war must be abolished if man wants to survive

［D］war should be advocated

64. The author believes that the only way to abolish war is to .

［A］change people s ideology

［B］let the stronger side take over the world

［C］improve bacteriological and chemical weapons

［D］settle international issues through negotiations

65. The last paragraph suggests that .

［A］nuclear war will definitely not take place

［B］international agreements are now reached more and more easily

［C］man is beginning to realize that nuclear war is his greatest enemy

［D］people hold different opinions about nuclear war

66. What does the author think about the adoption of some ideology?

［A］It is the best way to prevent war.

［B］It helps people get along with each other peacefully.

［C］It brings about evil thoughts among people.

［D］It sometimes leads to war.Part VCloze (15 minutes)

How to Avoid Quarrel in Dormitory?When high school graduates first went into universities, they might be confronted with many problems, the most obvious of which may be quarrel among roommates.（描述问题段）

The harm brought by quarrel can not be overestimated. On the one hand, quarrel is bad for the harmony in dormitory and it makes the cultivation of emotion among roommates impossible. On the other hand, quarrel may directly affect students normal life and study. Now that the quarrel among roommates is so harmful, it is high time that we found ways to solve this problem. （说明危害段）First of all, all members in a dormitory should keep in mind the truth that compromise will make a conflict much easier to resolve.

Part II【文章大意】本文主要介绍了纽约州北部地区的年轻人大批离开的现象，以及可能造成的问题。文章列出了人口变化的实际统计数据，分别介绍了大学毕业生、银行家、人口统计学研究人员等人的观点，并给出了作者自己的分析。

1．【定位】根据题干中的关键信息New York及出题顺序可定位在第一段。

【解析】选［A］。该段第一句指出，新的人口普查结果显示，upstate New York正staggering

from an accelerating exodus of young adults（因年轻人的大批离去而变得摇摇欲坠），也就是说upstate New York正面临着young adult residents（年轻居民）加速减少的问题，故答案为［A］。

2．【定位】根据题干中的关键信息1990，2004，Tioga County可定位在第二段。

【解析】选［B］。该段最后一句指出，在Tioga County，2004年的young adults比1990年少了42 percent，故答案为［B］。

3．【定位】根据题干中的关键信息Robert G. Wilmers可定位在第三段。

【解析】选［A］。该段第二句中Robert G. Wilmers指出，the magnitude and duration of population loss...（年轻人口数量减少的幅度和持续时间）在我们的历史上是unprecedented （空前的），［A］has never happened before in the history是对unprecedented in our history的同义转述，故为答案。

4．【定位】根据题干中的关键信息aged 18 to 44, in the 1990 s 可定位在第四段。

【解析】选［D］。该段首先指出，在1990 s，New York City和New York State的five suburban counties（5个郊县）中，the number of people aged 18 to 44增加了1.5 percent，而州北部则declined by 10 percent，但总体而言，整个New York State，年龄在18至40岁之间的人口增长率是1.1 percent。该段最后一句破折号后的内容是对其前内容的进一步说明。由该部分内容可知，New York State的人口增长率除了比West Virginia和North Dakota高以外，比其他州都要低，也就是说，New York State的人口增长率比most of the states都要低，故答案为［D］。5．【定位】根据题干中的关键信息population growth，lagging可定位在第五段。

【解析】选［C］。该段第一句中的虚拟句式表明，如果没有the flow of 21,000 prison inmates，那么州北部的population growth可能会lagged even more（落后得更多），由此可知，正是the flow of 21,000 prison inmates阻止了州北部的population growth落后得更多，故答案为［C］。6．【定位】根据题干中的关键信息college graduates，emigration rates,professor Frey可定位在第六段。

【解析】选［D］。结合该段第一句可知，该段最后一句中的“bright flight”指的就是college graduates的emigration，由此可知，Buffalo和Rochester是美国主要城市地区的college graduates的emigration rates最高的两个城市，故答案为［D］。

7．【定位】根据题干中的关键信息Matthew O Brien，Troy可定位在第七段。

【解析】选［A］。该段第一句中表明，Matthew O Brie n在26岁，也就是10年前，离开Troy而去了South（南部）的原因是为了a better job offer，故答案为［A］。

8．【定位】根据题目中的关键信息Matthew O Brien，the company可定位在第七段。

【解析】manufacturing operations。该段最后一句中where引导的定语从句表明，Matthew O Brien主要负责公司的manufacturing operations（生产运作）方面的事宜。

9．【定位】根据题目中的关键信息19th century，Troy可定位在第十段。

【解析】detachable collars。该段第一句中which引导的定语从句表明，Troy在19th世纪以the manufacture of detachable collars（可拆式衣领的生产）而known（出名），题目中的famous 对应known；production对应manufacture，由此可知答案为detachable collars。

10．【定位】根据题目中的关键信息Andrew Allen可定位在第十二段。

【解析】a doctoral degree。该段指出，毕业后Andrew Allen回到了Greece，目前他正在weighing job possibilities（权衡工作机会），很可能会pursue a doctoral degree（继续攻读博士学位），故答案为a doctoral degree。题目中的study further是pursue的同义表达。【文章译文】年轻人流失给北部地区敲响警钟

［1］一项新的人口普查结果显示，纽约州北部因为越来越多的年轻人离去而摇摇欲坠。移居使得很多社区愈发萧条，威胁到了境况不佳的城市的长期稳定，并且引起了大众对纽约州

未来计税基数的关注。自1990年到2004年，罗克兰和帕特南北部52个县的25到34岁居民的数量减少了超过25%。在包括水牛城、锡拉丘兹和宾厄姆顿等城市的13个县里，年轻人的人口数量减少了超过30%。［2］在泰奥加县，2004年统计在内的年轻人的数量比1990年少42%。“不会错的：这与以往不同，”［3］水牛城M&T银行行长罗伯特·G·威尔默斯今年春天对他的股东说：“年轻人大量持续的流失是史无前例的。古往今来，北部地区人口中最重要的这一部分从没有在已往的任何一个十年里有任何减少。”［4］在纽约市和纽约州的五个郊县里，18到44岁人口的数量在20世纪90年代增加了1.5%，而在纽约州北部地区这一数量则减少了10%。总体上讲，20世纪90年代全州的人口增长了1.1%——这比除了西弗吉尼亚州和北达科他州之外的其它州都要慢。［5］如果没有那些占新居民总数30%的21,000名囚犯，州北部的人口增长可能会更加缓慢。在上一个十年间的前五年里，人口减少的速度实际上在很多地区都提高了。［6］人口统计学专家布鲁金斯学会的威廉姆·弗雷和纽约城市大学皇后学院的安德鲁·A·贝弗里奇为《纽约时报》对人口普查结果进行了分别分析，指出州北部几乎每个地方的移居率最高的都是大学毕业生，这造成了人才流失。弗雷教授表示，在全国最大的大都市中，水牛城和罗切斯特是他们称之为“光明旅途”比例最高的地方。［7］纽约州劳登维尔市锡耶那大学的毕业生马修·奥布莱恩10年前在自己26岁的时候离开了奥尔巴尼东北部的特洛伊的家，去南部寻找更好的工作。［8］他首先到了南卡罗来纳州，而现在与从罗切斯特移民过来的妻子梅丽莎和他们的两个孩子一起住在佛罗里达州的坦帕市，在一家制造气泡包装纸的公司管理生产工作。“我想如果我回首往事，想到那些和我一同上高中的同学，他们都去别的地方上大学了，这或许是开创一番事业的垫脚石，”奥布莱恩先生说道：“没多少人回来。”部分年轻人的减少或许也反映了那些20世纪70年代到80年代期间与父母一起离开的孩子们。［9］奥布莱恩先生的父母仍然住在特洛伊，特洛伊19世纪时由于制造可拆式衣领以及一度引领全国的钢铁制造业而闻名。尽管如此，但他的8个兄弟姐妹中也只有两人没有搬出这座城市。尽管在近十年甚至更长一段时间里，人们对北部长年惨淡的经济越来越关注，但越来越多年轻人的离去尤其使人担忧。这一点已经成为了今年两位主要的州长候选人埃利奥特·史匹哲和约翰·法索竞选中的元素之一，他们强调该地区人口增长停滞以及刺激经济活跃的需求问题。［10］上个月，在从克里夫兰的凯斯西储大学工程学硕士毕业后，23岁的安德鲁·艾伦回到了位于希腊罗切斯特郊区的父母家。他目前正在考虑工作，并且可能攻读博士学位。尽管他父亲在罗切斯特市内第二大的公司——柯达公司任职，但他大概不会选择留在罗切斯特。艾伦说：“罗切斯特是选择之一，但我想在这儿工作吗？大概不想。想到罗切斯特就会想到柯达，但同时也会想到裁员。”艾伦先生说，在他高中时代起的8个亲密好友中，有一位在罗切斯特即将研究生毕业，还有一位已经决定在当地工作，而其他人都走了。随着越来越多的年轻人离开，人口逐渐老龄化。在布鲁姆县，平均年龄由1990年的33.3岁升至2004年的38.2岁。M&T银行的威尔默斯先生说：“北部地区45岁及45岁以上的居民数量增长了15.3%，恰恰在这个时候年轻人的数量大幅度减少，而年轻人是工作和付税的中坚力量。”

搬走年轻人的数量预计会随着生育高峰期出生的孩子变老而既然减少，这些孩子中有一部分在1990年时不足35岁。州内只有两个县的年轻人数量在1990年到2000年间增长了——曼哈顿和皇后区。1990年到2004年，纽约州的62个县中，除了一个县，其它县的记录都显示出了25到34岁的人数量减少，由曼哈顿的1%到泰奥加的42%。在罗切斯特地区，安德鲁·艾伦26岁的姐姐劳拉·珍妮·哈蒙德2001年从密苏里大学获得新闻学位毕业后回到了家乡。她被聘用为《下一步杂志》的主编，该杂志通常在校领导办公室传阅。同时她还建立了一个社会团体：“罗切斯特地区20多岁的年轻人”。她说：“由于生活贫困，我的朋友们逃到了纽约市，而我也买了房子成了家。”由于1990年特定年龄段的人与2004年被统计的人不是同一群人，所以25岁到34岁的人数量减少与那些搬走的人有关的说法是不准确的。1999

年，在一次M&T银行的民意调查中，北部居民被问到在未来的5年内是否希望搬到其它州。整整40%的18到30岁之间的人回答是。大部分人表示他们会去南方或者西部。但在年轻人中，很大比例的人表示他们不确定最终会去哪儿。M&T银行的一份2003年纳税申报单数据的分析报告显示，在所有离开伊利县的人当中，约有一半人去了州内的其它地方。移居到洛杉矶县的人与移居到曼哈顿或布鲁克林的人基本一样多。康奈尔大学教授罗尔夫彭达利曾为布鲁金斯学会对人口流失进行过研究，他说：“纽约州北部以及宾夕法尼亚州辽阔的土地在美国是很特殊的，因为这是个城市化的地区，有一千五百万居民住在许多人口普查所定义的大都市地区。北部大平原、南部密西西比三角洲以及阿帕拉契也同样存在人口流失——事实上它们已经榨取百姓钱财几十年之久——但这些都是乡村地区。当然，这些地区在重要的长期经济变迁和改革的问题上观点相同。”Part IIISection A

M: Hi, let s just put the facts together and then we ll write the report.

W: That s a good idea. ［19①］English is becoming the world s first truly universal language. It is the native language of some 400 million people in twelve countries.

M: That is a lot fewer than the 800 million who speak English as a second language. English is certainly more widespread geographically. It s more genuinely universal.

W: ［19②］English prevails in transportation and the media. The travel and communication language of the international airwaves is English. Pilots and air traffic controllers speak English at all international airports, and so on.

M: Sure. We say English is the language of media, some broadcasters —CBX, NBC, ABC, the BBC, and the CBC —reach a potential audience of about 300 million people through English broadcast.

W: ［19③］Another important point we shouldn t forget is that English is also the language of the information age, for computers talk to each other in English. As I know, eighty five percent of international telephone conversations are conducted in English. ［20］Computer program instructions are often supplied only in English.

M: Over half the world s technical and scientific periodicals are in English, which is also the language of medicine, electronics, and space technology.

W: ［19④］Last but not the least, English is the language of international business. When a businessman strikes a deal anywhere in Europe, the negotiations were conducted in English.

M: Oh, we have more than enough to cover a five minute report.

W: We still have one more important fact to add. English is replacing the dominant European languages of centuries past. ［21］English has replaced French as the language of diplomacy; it is the official language of international aid organizations.【答案解析】

Passage Three【听力原文】［35①］150 years ago, the position of women in U.S. society was very different from their position today. At that time, women were completely subordinate to men. ［32①］Society did not encourage women to have a career outside the home. ［33］Although they received an education at elementary school and high school, they were not allowed to attend college or university. Even if a married woman did work outside the home, she could not keep the money she earned. The law required her to give the money to her husband. ［32②］Society expected women to do the housekeeping, to raise the children, and to obey their husbands. That was their role in society. They did not have the right to vote. In many ways, they were almost

like slaves.However, ［35②］this situation began to change slowly after 1848. Small groups of women began to protest the lack of equality and justice in U.S. society. For many years, their attempts to improve women s 【答案解析】

Slowly, however, more and more people began to share their ideas and support their demands. ［34］Until 1920 women were given the right to vote in a national election. It s really a moment that we should remember.【解析】选［A］。主旨题。文章首先介绍了150年前美国妇女的position，接着又指出在1848年后妇女的地位开始发生变化，并最终赢得了大选的选举权，由此可见本文以时间为序，介绍了美国妇女在社会上的changing role，故答案为［A］。

Section C

【听力原文】First aid is the care given to the injured or sick as soon as possible after an (36) accident or illness. It is this immediate care and (37) attention before the arrival of the ambulance that sometimes means the difference between life and death, or a full or (38) partial recovery. First aid has (39) limitations, as not everybody is a doctor or expert, but it is a key element of the total (40) medical system. The principle to be (41) adopted in first aid is immediate action. Bystanders or relatives not knowing what to do, or being too (42) fearful to try, have (43) unwisely contributed to unnecessary deaths and worse injuries.(44) It is important that any action taken by the first aid provider is started as quickly as possible.Quick action is necessary to save life and parts of the body. One who is not breathing effectively, or is bleeding heavily, requires immediate help. (45) If quick effective first aid is provided, then the injured or sick will have a better chance of a good recovery.But it should be remembered that any action taken is to be most careful, and panic by the first aid provider will not be good to the whole thing. Try to remain calm and think your actions through. (46) A calm and controlled first aider will give everyone confidence that the event is being handled efficiently and effectively.【答案解析】

36．空前的不定冠词an和空后的并列连词or提示所填词应为以元音音素开头的单数可数名词，与illness构成并列结构。根据并列连词or及其前后的First aid，illness推测所填词很可能表示导致first aid急需进行的“事件”。accident意为“意外事故”。

37．由句子结构及空前的并列连词and可知所填词应为名词，与care构成并列结构。attention 意为“关心，注意”。

38．空前的并列连词or和空后的名词recovery提示所填词应为形容词，与full并列修饰recovery。full recovery表示全部康复，结合or的特点可推测，所填词很可能是表示“部分的”这一含义。partial意为“部分的，局部的”。

39．分析句子结构可知，所填词为句子的宾语，故应为名词。由后面的as not…（因为并非每个人都是医生或专家）以及but转折句中对first aid重要性的描述可推测，此处很可能是

说first aid存在“不足”或“局限性”。limitations意为“局限性”。

40．空前形容词total和空后的名词system提示所填词应为名词或形容词。由but后的分句可知，本句是说first aid是the total (40) system中的重要因素，根据常理可知，急救是属于医疗系统的，故所填词很可能表示“医疗的，医药的”这一含义。medical意为“医学的，医药的”。

41．空前的to be提示所填词应为动词的过去分词或形容词。adopted意为“采用”。

Part IVSection A

【文章大意】本文主要讲的是过多看电视对青少年身体健康的不利影响。文章主要通过两种不同类型的青少年（把大部分时间花费在看电视上的青少年和积极参加体育运动的青少年）之间的对比，说明积极参加体育运动能避免青少年危险行为的发生，促使他们更加健康地成长。【词性归类】

名词：［D］alternative（可供选择的方法或事物）；［E］health（健康）；［G］co author （合著者）；［K］benefit（利益）；［M］content（内容）；［O］composer（作曲家）

动词：［A］alternate（交换，轮流）；［C］lower(降低，跌落）；［H］encourage（鼓励）；［I］create（创造）；［K］benefit（有益于）；［M］content（使满足）；［N］compel（强迫）

形容词：［A］alternate（交替的，轮流的）；［B］higher（更高的）；［C］lower（更低的）；［D］alternative（选择性的）；［J］risky（危险的）；［M］content（满足的，满意的）

副词：［F］psychologically（心理上地）；［L］physically（身体上地）47．【解析】选［L］。空前的系动词及空后的形容词提示所填词应为副词。由比较结构…than…可知，本句是在两种不同的青少年之间进行对比，即teenagers who are 47active in any way和TV watching peers。由下文中的engaged in any kind of activity、activities like skating and skateboarding和engage in the physical activities they enjoy可以判断所填副词应与“体育活动”有关。故答案为［L］physically（身体上地）。physically active 在这里表示“积极运动”。

48．【解析】选［E］。空前的形容词和空后的名词提示所填词可能为形容词或名词。空前的other表明smoke，drink都属于48risks的范畴。根据常识可知，smoke和drink都有害于健康，都和健康相关，故答案为［E］health（健康）。

49．【解析】选［B］。空后的名词提示所填词可能为形容词或名词，但and连接的分句中的比较词less提示所填词应为形容词比较级，备选项中［B］higher和［C］lower符合这一要求。但由修饰主语的定语从句who were active可知，所填形容词应能说明积极参加运动的人的优点，故答案为［B］higher（较高的）。

50．【解析】选［J］。分析此处结构和句意可知，所填词应该是用来限定名词beharior,故可能为形容词或名词。空后的介词like表明taking drugs，drinking和having sex是对50behavior 的列举。而由taking drugs，drinking和having sex可以确定所填词应能表现这些不良行为的

性质，备选形容词和名词中只有［J］risky（危险的）符合要求，故答案为［J］。51．【解析】选［G］。分析句子结构可知，所填词应为名词，充当said的主语。由谓语动词said可知，study51是said的实施者，而空后的内容Dr. Penny Gordon Larsen…很显然应该是study51的同位语，由此推测，study51应该表示Dr. Penny Gordon Larsen的身份。备选名词中表示某人身份的只有［G］co author（合著者）和［O］composer(作曲家)，显然［O］composer 不符合此处语境，故答案为［G］。

52．【解析】选［M］。空前的形容词和空后的介词提示所填词应为名词。空后的such as表列举，表明violence和sex都属于52 of television programs的范畴，根据常识可知，violence 和sex都是电视节目的内容，故答案为［M］content（内容）。

53．【解析】选［K］。分析句子结构可知，本定语从句缺少谓语动词，故所填词应为动词。kids who spend hours watching TV和their more active peers是两种不同类型的青少年，二者之间存在对比性。由本句的前半部分可知，对那些总是看电视的孩子们来说，他们失去了融入社会、发展自身技能、学习团结合作等机会，而对那些积极的青少年来说，他们则能从这些机会中受益。备选项中表示“受益”且能与from搭配的只有［K］benefit（受益），故答案为［K］。

54．【解析】选［D］。空后的名词提示所填词可能为形容词或名词。前一句指出青少年不一定非得参加足球运动，而本句中则指出skating and skateboarding也对青少年有利，由此可以判断此处表达的是有多种活动可供选择，备选项中［D］alternative（选择性的）符合句意，故为答案。［A］alternate为强干扰项，它意为“交替的，轮流的”。

55．【解析】选［H］。空前的助动词should和空后的名词提示所填词应为及物动词原形。综合整句话可知，本句主要是讲怎样让孩子多参加运动。符合本句句意的动词有［H］encourage 和［N］compel，但修饰physical activities的定语从句they enjoy提示，我们可以将表示消极意义的［N］compel排除，故答案为［H］encourage（鼓励）。

56．【解析】选［I］。不定式符号to及空后名词提示所填词应为及物动词原形。根据句中的parents，schools和communities可知本句主要侧重于大人应怎样做才能帮助孩子更多地参加运动。浏览备选项中的动词可知，［I］create（创造）最符合句意，故为答案。【文章译文】看电视太多对青少年弊大于利。一项最新的研究显示，积极参加体育活动的青少年与爱看电视的同龄人相比，吸烟、饮酒以及进行其他有健康隐患的行为的机率更低。研究者发现，与花很多时间看电视的青少年相比，活跃的人往往自尊心更强，而且更不容易进行吸毒、吸烟、饮酒或性行为等有风险的活动。研究报告合著者、教堂山的北卡罗来纳大学的潘尼·戈登·拉森博士表示：“全面地讲，进行了体育活动的孩子，不管形式如何，都比那些看电视很多的孩子状况好。”其它研究将电视节目的一些特定内容，如暴力与性，和孩子的行为联系到一起。但除此之外，戈登·拉森告诉路透社健康版，长时间看电视的孩子“错失”了交际、增长技能、学习团队合作以及令那些更活跃的同龄人受益匪浅的经验的“良机”。然而，这并不是说孩子们就必须参加橄榄球队。研究发现，“替代”活动，如滑冰和滑板——有时候成年人对此嗤之以鼻——也可以增强自尊心并且风险更小。戈登·拉森说，家长们不仅应该鼓励孩子参加他们喜欢的体育运动，而且学校和社区也应该采取更多措施为孩子们进行体育活动提供机会。Section B

Passage One

【文章大意】本文开头提出了移动办公室的概念；接下来指出它为人们提供了更加方便快捷的工作环境，但也有一些不足之处；最后作者展望了它的美好未来。

57．【解析】选［D］。推理判断题。文章第一段第二句提到，mobile office（移动办公室）是通过MIP（无线互联平台）及其application system（应用系统）的支持才得以实现的，由此可推断MIP和application system是移动办公室的core（核心），故答案为［D］。

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

英语四级阅读试题及答案详解1 Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts __1__ questions, and so on. For most of the time this “conversation” goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however, we become __2__ of it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between __3__ and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our question of the text continues at the unconscious level. Different people __4__ with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page, others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension which is __5__ in the text. The latter represents __6__ levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers. There is another conversation which from our point of view is __7__ important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a “process” conversation as __8__ to a “content” conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the __9__ we employ in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a

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.
