Christmas Day

Christmas Day, the 25th of December,/is the biggest festival celebrated in the Christian countries of the world./ Although everyone enjoys Christmas Day, it is particularly enjoyed by children,/who get very excited bemuse of the presents they know they are going to receive./Small children believe that their presents are brought by Father Christmas./Father Christmas is a kind of old man who, / the children are told, lives at the North Pole. / He travels through the sky on a sleigh which is pulled by deer and loaded with presents./Stopping on the roof of houses, he enters by climbing the chimney./When small children go to bed on Christmas Eve,/they hang a stocking at the end of their beds./Their parents warn them not to try to look at Father Christmas,/or he will not leave them anything./When they wake, they find their stockings filled with presents./Children are very excited on Christmas morning and always wake up early.

M. Hi, Lynn. I saw you at registration yesterday. I sailed right through, but you were standing in a long line.

W: (1) Yeah. I waited an hour to sign up for a distance-learning course.

M: Distance-learning? Never heard of it!

W: (1) Well, it's new this semester. It's only open to psychology majors. But I bet it'll catch on elsewhere. Yesterday, over a hundred students signed up.

M: Well, what is it?

W: It's an experimental course. I registered for child psychology. All I have got to do is watch a twelve-week series of televised lessons. The department shows them seven different times a day and in seven different locations.

M: Don't you ever have to meet with professor?

W: Yeah. After each part of the series I have to talk to her and the other students on the phone, you know, about our ideas. (2) Then we'll meet on campus three times for reviews and exams. M: It sounds pretty non-traditional to me. (3) But I guess it makes sense, considering how many students have jobs. It must really help with their schedules, not to mention how it will cut down on traffic.

W: You know, last year my department did a survey and they found out that 80 percent of all psychology majors were employed. That's why they came up with the program.

M: Look, I'll be working three days a week next semester and it was either cut back on my classes or tries this out.

W: So how do I get one?

M: (5) You need two photographs--one for the card and one for the form.

W: There's a photo machine in the post office. It gives you four photos for three pounds. M: So does the one in the library. But I went to a photographer's studio. It was cheaper. W: I don't have to show my passport or my driving license, do I?

(11) We've become really alarmed over the health center by the number of students we are seeing, who are experiencing hearing loss. First, I want to go over some basics about hearing. Then we can take a look at our school environment and see if we can figure out some ways to protect hearing. The leading cause of preventable hearing loss is excessive noise. (12,13) Too much moderate noise for a long time or some types of intense noise for even a short time can damage hearing. Loudness is measured in units called decibels. One decibel is the lowest sound that the average person can hear. Sounds up to 8O decibels generally aren't harmful. That's noise like traffic on a busy street. But any- thing louder than 80 decibels may eventually hurt your hearing. Once sounds are up to around 140 decibels, that's like a jet plane taking off, then you might feel pain in your ears. And pains are sure sign that your hearing's at risk. Even one exposure to a really loud noise at close range can cause hearing loss. So what you need to do is limit your exposure to

harmful levels. If you pass along this handout, we can take a look at the decibel level of some common campus sounds. Notice how loud those horns are that people take to football games. They are really dangerous if blown right behind you. (11) Now, let's try to generate a list of damaging noises.

(2).What kind of sounds is harmful for your hearing?(分数:1.00)

A.Traffic on a busy street.

B.Jet plane taking off. √

C.Sound that the average person can hear.

D.Sounds up to 80 decibels.

B.200 years ago.

C.300 years ago. √

D.400 years ago.

解析:[听力原文]14-16

Moving away from newspapers, let's now focus on magazines. (14) Now the first magazine was a little periodical called the Review and it was started in London in 1704. It looked a lot like the newspapers of the time, but in terms of its contents it was much different. (15) Newspapers were concerned mainly with news events but the Review focused on important domestic issues of the day, as well as the policies of the government. Now, in England at the time, people could still be thrown in jail for publishing articles that were critical of the king. And that is what happened to Daniel Defoe. He was the outspoken founder of the Review. Defoe actually wrote the first issue of the Review from prison. You see, he had been arrested because of his writings that criticized the policies of the Church of England, which was headed by the king. After his release, Defoe continued to produce the Review and the magazine started to appear on a more frequent schedule, about three times a week. It didn't take long for other magazines to start popping up. (16) In 1709, a magazine called the Tattler began publication. This new magazine contained a mixture of news, poetry, political analysis and philosophical essays.

(2).What did the first magazine NOT focus on?(分数:1.00)

A.News events. √

解析:[听力原文]17-20

(17) To finish today's program, I want to tell you about the Waterside Shopping Centre, near Northport, which I visited last week. It's taken three years to build and finally opened three weeks ago, two months later than planned.

(19) Firstly, getting there; there are organized coach trips from most towns in the area but they leave early and come home very late, so I drove. There are 12,000 free parking spaces, so parking is no problem. You can also get there by train, but the station is 15 minutes from Waterside by bus, and the buses are really crowded, so you some- times have a long wait.

(18) One thing to remember is that the shops don't open till 10 a.m. except on Saturday when they open at 9. So don't get there too early on a weekday. They close at 8 p.m. every day except Friday when they're open until 9 p. m.

The shopping centre is arranged on three levels. In fact, if you want to buy a pair of shoes, there are 15 different shops to choose from on levels one and two. (20) When you run out of money, there are seven different banks, flat collect your money before you get to the third level as there aren't any banks up there. On that level, however, there are several restaurants, as well as a cinema with seven screens.

And so that's all for today's program.

(2).When does the shopping center open on the weekday?(分数:1.00)

A.8 a.m.

六、PART Ⅲ CLOZE(总题数:1,分数:20.00)

More and more residences, businesses, and even government agencies are using telephone answering machines to take messages or give in formation or instructions. Sometimes these machines give (31) instructions, or play messages that are difficult to understand. If you (32) telephone calls, you need to be ready to respond when you get a (33) The most common machine is the (34) used in residence. If you call a home (35) there is a telephone answering machine (36) you will hear several rings and then a recorded message that (37) says something like this: "Hello. We can't come to the (38) right now. If you want us to call you back, please leave your name and number after the beep." Then you will hear a "beep," (39) is a brief, high-pitched (40) . After the beep, you can say who you are, whom you want to speak to, and what number the person should call to (41) you, or you can leave a (42) . Some telephone answering machines record for only 20 or 30 seconds after the beep, (43) you must respond quickly. Some large businesses and government agencies are using telephone answering machines to provide information on (44) about which they receive a large volume of (45) Generally speaking, using these systems (46) you to have a touch-tone phone.

You listen (48) you hear the topic you want to learn about, and then you push the (49) button. Immediately after making your (50) , you will hear a recorded message on the topic.

(分数:20.00)

A.disturbing

B.annoying

C.confusing √

D.surprising

解析:语义衔接题。第二句后半部分提到play messages that are difficult to understand。由句中的or可以推知后半句,是对前半句的补充说明,因此应选择confusing,表示录音电话中的指令不清。disturbing意为“干扰的";annoying意为“恼人的,讨厌的";surprising意为“‘晾人的,不可思议的”,surprising放在此处不符合上下文语境。

A.take

B.make √

C.answer

D.receive

解析:固定搭配题。本文论述的是录音电话具有留言功能,结合第33题的选项可知,这里是指给对方打电话,如果对方不在家时,为如何在录音电话中留言做好准备。打电话的固定搭配是to make a call,take calls, answer telephone calls或receive telephone calls都译为“接听电话”,虽然这三个动词均可与telephone calls搭配使用,但此处语义不通。

A.repairing

B.recovering

C.retelling

D.recording √

解析:语义衔接题。根据第32题解析可知,这里是说当你打电话的对象不在时,你会听到录音电话中要求留言的录音指令。recording意为“录音”。repairing意为“修理,修补”。recovering意为“恢复,修复”。 retelling意为“复述”,例如:The retelling of the story is not as interesting as what it was told the first time.那个故事复述起来就不像第一次那样有意思了。这三个词与录音电话无关,均不符合上下文语境。

A.type √

B.kind

C.sort

D.character

解析:名词辨析题。type主要指某一个团体成员的相似特征,这些特征使得该组与其它组有明显的不同。The most common machine表示一般录音电话的种类,很明显此类产品有共同的特征,因此选type,表示与别的录音电话有明显的区别。kind指由于与生俱来的特征联系在一起的成员组成的种类,表示某一类的成员不是非常精确地互相关联着。sort表示某一类的成员之间的相似之处与关系都不十分明确。character 则是指某类成员所独具的性质,强调性质。

A.which

B.where √

C.that

D.when

解析:结构衔接题。If从句中主谓宾齐全,因此there is a telephone answering只能以从句的形式出现在该条件状语从句中。条件状语从句中的宾语是a home,很容易看出这里there is…应该是定语从句,修饰home,因此正确选项是where。that与which在定语从句中作主语或宾语。when是关系副词,在定语从句中引导表示时间的先行词。

A.in hand

B.in detail

C.in operation √

D.in dispute

解析:短语辨析题。in operation意为“在运转着”,句中是指录音电话在工作中,具有录音功能。in hand 意为“在手头,在进行中”;in detail意为“详细地,仔细地”;in dispute意为“在争论中,尚未解决的”。

A.impossibly

B.hardly

C.always

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/a65922802.html,ually √

解析:副词辨析题。通常录音电话都这样说,希望来电者留言,四个选项中只有usually“通常”符合语义。impossibly意为“不可能地,办不到地”;hardly意为“几乎不”,表示否定的含义;always意为“始终,总是”,过于绝对。

A.place

B.phone √

C.home

D.room

解析:语义衔接题。本句提到的是录音电话的留言提示,因此,当时主人一定无法接听电话,这样才提示打电话者留言。因此应选择phone,表示不能接电话之意,别的选项不符合语义要求。

A.that

B.who

C.what

D.which √

解析:结构衔接题。句中需要一个引导定语从句的关系代词,在句中作主语。可以作定语从句中主语的关系代词可为which或that,但该句中beep后由于有逗号分隔,为非限制性定语从句,因此正确选项是which。that不能引导非限制性定语从句。who引导先行词为人的定语从句。what不能引导定语从句,只能引导主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句。

A.tune √

B.noise

C.voice

D.tone

解析:名词辨析题。句中的定语从句是对beep(嘟嘟声)作解释说明。tone意为“声音,音调”,句中的a brief,high-pitched tone是指短促、声调很高的声音。noise意为“噪音”;voice意为“声音,嗓音”;tune意为“曲调”,与tone不同的是,tune是指音乐的调子,而tone是指声音的音调高低。

A.catch

C.reach √

D.meet

解析:语义衔接题。本句中只能用reach,这是表达“联系某人”的固定用法。catch,tell,meet均可以与sb.搭配,但意思不同,分别意为“抓住某人”,“告诉某人”,“见某人”,在此处不符合上下文语境。

A.note

B.record

C.message √

D.speech

解析:语义衔接题。本句是在解释如果打电话找的人不在时如何留言的事情。leave a message意为“留话,留言”。note意为“便条,笔记”,leave a note也可以表示留言,但只用于亲自到别人家没找着人时用。 record意为“记录,记载”;speech意为“演说,讲演”,这两个词放在此处都不能表达留言之意。

A.so √

B.therefore

C.although

D.thus

解析:句子前半部分提到“一些录音电话只在嘟嘟声后有20至30秒的录音时间”,紧接着又提到“必须快速做出回应”,显然这两部分是因果关系,为前因后果。so正确。although表示让步关系;therefore 为表示因果关系的副词,没有连词词性。thus也是表示因果关系的副词。

A.topics √

B.things

C.arguments

D.concerns

解析:语义衔接题。从后面的提示中可以推出,这里是说一些大公司及政府机构使用录音电话提供有关某些话题的信息。因此正确选项是topics。thing意为“事情,情况”;argument意为“争论,争辩”;concern 意为“关切,有利害关系”,这几个词与上下文无语义衔接关系。

A.questions

B.inquiries √

C.problems

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/a65922802.html,plaints

解析:语义衔接题。本段是讲一些商业机构和政府部门提供的录音电话一般是回答人们比较关心的问题,即回答他们收到大量咨询的问题。inquiry意为“质询”,符合语义。question意为“问题”,在商务活动中,对什么事情不清楚的质询应使用inquiry而不是question;problem表示“麻烦”的意思;complaint 表示“抱怨,投诉”,在文中均没有体现。

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/a65922802.html,mands

B.requires √

C.asks

D.requests

解析:动词辨析题。require意为“要求,需要”,可表示某项规章制度或条例的要求,故[B]为答案。command 意为“命令,统帅”,不符合句意。ask,request这两个词都能表示“要求”,但ask及request的主语通常是人,只有require的主语可以是物。

A.push √

B.pull

C.drag

D.throw

解析:语义衔接题。下一句中的push给出了提示,可以确定push正确。pull意为“拉,拔”,电话按键不可能使用往外拔的动作。drag意为“拖,拖曳”;throw意为“扔,投,掷”。

B.after

C.until √

D.before

解析:结构衔接题。本句意思是说你在接听录音电话时,听到某个话题时,就该做某事,因此选择until,表示“一直听到……”的意思。when,after和before虽然都是表示时间关系的连词,但用在句中,不能正确表达句意。

A.correct

B.wrong

C.random

D.appropriate √

解析:形容词辨析题。此处appropriate表示“适当的”,即根据提示来按键。客户可根据提示按键,不可能提示按错误的键,故可排除wrong。也不是随意按键,因此可排除random。与appropriate相比,correct 强调的是正确性,而appropriate则是适合性。规定按哪个键不是正确与否的问题,因此可排除correct。

A.selection √

B.solution

C.experiment

D.decision

解析:语义衔接题。上文提到有几个topics,因此这里是做出选择的意思,故selection正确。solution 意为“解决办法”;experiment意为“试验,实验”;decision意为“决定,决心”,虽然它们都可以与动词make搭配使用,但这几个词在此处均不符合语境。

七、PART Ⅳ GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY(总题数:30,分数:30.00)

4.Going out for a holiday is a good way to relax and refresh yourself, and this is especially true______ it comes to preventing depression.

?[A] since

?[B] before

?[C] after

?[D] when

(分数:1.00)

A.

B.

C.

D. √

解析:习惯搭配题。when it comes to是习惯搭配,表示“当谈到……时,当涉及……时”。其他选项没有此意。

5.______, he is not capable of teaching all subjects. After all, nobody could be an expert on every- thing.

?[A] A teacher as Mike is

?[B] Teacher as Mike is

?[C] As Mike is a teacher

?[D] As is Mike a teacher

(分数:1.00)

A.

B. √

C.

D.

解析:毕竟没有人在各方面都是专家。状语从句题。as来引导让步状语从句强调让步意义。此时,要求将从句中的补语或状语提前至句首。如果由名词充当,前置时不使用任何限定词。因此可排除[A]和[D];同时,如果从句的补语或状语不提前,那么as引导的从句一般表示“原因”或为主句的定语从句,因此可排除[C]。故正[B]正确。

6.Ms. Smith was ______ pleased when heard her daughter failed the Entrance Exam to College again.

?[A] all but

?[B] none but

?[C] anything but

?[D] nothing but

(分数:1.00)

A.

B.

C. √

D.

解析:关联词辨析。选项[C]表示“除了……之外任何事(物),根本不”。all but意思是“几乎,差一点”,none but表示“只有”,主要用于修饰人的情形;nothing but表示“只有,只不过”。

7.See to it that you ______ the solutions to whatever problems you came across in your paper last time.

?[A] found

?[B] find

?[C] will find

?[D] you have found

(分数:1.00)

A.

B. √

C.

D.

解析:动词时态题。在make certain,make sure,see(to it)引导的that从句中,谓语动词所表示的动作因为还未发生,应该使用将来时。但通常情况下,该谓语动词都使用一般现在时代替将来时。故本题正

[B]正确。

8.That customer wanted to return the pens he bought because he said they ______ easily.

?[A] didn't write

?[B] weren't written

?[C] were not writing

?[D] hadn't been writing

(分数:1.00)

A. √

B.

C.

D.

解析:动词语态和时态题。有些动词可以用主动语态表示被动意义,在这样的句子中,主语是动作的承受者,而谓语动词不能用于进行时态。在该句中,pen是write这个动词动作的承受者,虽然二者是被动的关系,但很显然不能使用被动语态。故只有[A]正确。

9.Among all the proposals, it was quite preferable that Mr. Li, a very experienced engineer,______ the task.

?[A] undertook

?[B] undertake

?[C] undertaking

?[D] would undertake

(分数:1.00)

A.

B. √

C.

D.

解析:虚拟语气题。在名词性从句中,当由表示“建议、命令、重要性、可能性、倾向性”等意义的词,如:preferable,crucial,essential,possible,advised,ordered作表语或补语时,that主语从句中动词用“(should+)动词原形”的虚拟形式。故[B]正确。

10.Recently his army was influenced a lot by the soldiers' ______morale which was due to the troubles they came across.

?[A] depressed

?[B] low

?[C] dispiriting

?[D] discontented

(分数:1.00)

A.

B. √

C.

D.

解析:形容词辨析题。depressed意思是“沮丧的,抑郁的”,强调“因失去信心而气馁”,其逻辑主语指“人”; dispiriting意为“使人泄气的”,虽然可以和morale搭配,但不符合上下文的意思,此处指的是“士兵的士气低落”而不是指“士兵的士气使人沮丧”;discontented意为“不满的”,在逻辑上不与morale搭配使用;而 low意为“(情绪、士气等)低落的”。因此根据上下文的意思,只有[B]正确。

11.He'd never have done such a thing if he had been ______at that crucial moment.

?[A] in his right mind

?[B] in two minds

?[C] of one mind

?[D] on his mind

(分数:1.00)

A. √

B.

C.

D.

解析:介词词组辨析题。in one's right mind表示“脑子清醒”;in two minds表示“犹豫不决”;of one mind表示的是“意见一致”;而on one’s mind表示“压在心上,有心事”。根据上下文可知,[A]正确。

12.At that time they did hope to create a new world they had dreamed of ,______of all human sins.

?[A] cleanse

?[B] cleansed

?[C] had cleansed

?[D] cleansing

(分数:1.00)

A.

B. √

C.

D.

解析:非谓语动词题。从上下文可知,cleanse的逻辑主语是a new world,是一种被动关系,因此应使用过去分词来表示,故[B]正确。

13.He expressed ______on the new style of writing which is now quite popular on the Internet in his latest paper.

?[A] blame

?[B] denunciation

?[C] criticism

?[D] accusation

(分数:1.00)

A.

B.

C. √

D.

解析:名词辨析题。四个选项都有“批评”的意思。blame强调“因某人做错事而责怪”的意思;denunciation语气更为强烈,强调“谴责”;accusation则强调“控诉,指责”的含义。而criticism除了指“批评”的意思,还可以指“对……发表评论”。根据上下文可知,他只是针对一个现象表达出自己的想法而已,故[C]正确。

14.I expressed my______ to my colleagues at being unfairly dismissed by our company.

?[A] indignation

?[B] fury

?[C] rage

?[D] wrath

(分数:1.00)

A. √

B.

C.

D.

解析:名词辨析题。该题中的四个选项都有“生气”的意思,但强调各有不同。rage强调“愤怒的爆发”;fury在语气上要比rage强烈,通常接近于“发疯般的狂怒”;而wrath强调“生气时会表现出想要报复或是惩罚的意图”;indignation表示“愤慨、义愤”,强调的是“受到不公正待遇或遭到污蔑后的一种应该有的愤怒”,故正[A]正确。

15.As we all know, thick forests are the natural ______for birds, animals and insects, and we must forbid cutting trees without any limitation.

?[A] habitat

?[B] resort

?[C] residence

?[D] refuge

(分数:1.00)

A. √

B.

C.

D.

解析:名词辨析题。resort通常指“风景,胜地”;residence一般指“人的住所;官员的官邸”;refuge 意为“避难所”;而habitat既可以指“人的居住地”,也可以指“动植物的栖息地”。故[A]正确。

16.No sooner ______ home than my grandfather asked me to read the newspaper for him.

?[A] I arrived

?[B] I had arrived

?[C] did I arrive

?[D] had I arrived

(分数:1.00)

A.

B.

C.

D. √

解析:在no sooner…than…句型中(刚一……就……),no sooner用在句首时,其后主句的主谓部分要部分倒装。在时态上,由于主句的动作其实是发生在从句动作之前,因此常常使用过去完成时,一般不使用其他时态。故本题[D]正确。

17.In the war time, some cities were ______to the ground and thousands of civilians became homeless.

?[A] demolished

?[B] destroyed

?[C] razed

?[D] annihilated

(分数:1.00)

A.

B.

C. √

D.

解析:动词辨析题。该题中的四个选项都有“破坏”的意思。但demolish意思是“毁坏,爆破”;destroy 是一般用词,强调“毁坏的彻底性和破坏力”;raze强调“夷为平地”;而annihilate是这四个词中表示破坏程度最强的一个词,意为“歼灭,彻底消灭”。根据句中的to the ground可知,该句强调的是“城市被夷为平地”,故正[C]正确。

18.My teacher told me seriously that I should keep ______of that fellow who always caused troubles.

?[A] clean

?[B] cleanly

?[C] clear

?[D] clearly

(分数:1.00)

A.

B.

C. √

D.

解析:副词辨析题。该题中的四个选项都可以用作副词。clean意为“径直地,完全地”;cleanly意思是“干净利落地”;clearly意为“清楚地,显然地”;clear用作副词时,表示“隔开,不接触”。从句意上判断,[C]正确。

19.She ______seriously after her stem struck the rocks but fortunately nothing really happened.

?[A] shattered

?[B] scattered

?[C] shuddered

?[D] shivered

(分数:1.00)

A.

B.

C. √

D.

解析:动词辨析题。shatter意思是“被打碎,碎裂”;scatter则指的是“分散,消散”;shiver意思是“颤抖”,也可以指“(船帆)迎风拍动”的意思;而shudder意思则为“(机器、车辆等)突然震动、颤动”。根据后文的stem“船首”可知,该句中的she指的是“船”,因此此处指的是“船”而不是“船帆”的颤动,同时“船也没有被损坏”。故[C]正确。

20.After considering for a second, he ______that this hospital was the best of all in China and said I could believe him for sure.

?[A] asserted

?[B] affirmed

?[C] declared

?[D] announced

(分数:1.00)

A. √

B.

C.

D.

解析:动词辨析题。该题中的四个词都有“宣称,声称”的意思。但affirm通常指“公开地说某事是真的”;declare指“公开地官方宣称某事”;announce意为“公开地宣布某项政策或决定”;assert意为“断言、肯定.地声称某事是真的”。从句中的for sure可知,此处强调的是“非常肯定地说……”,故[A]正确。

21.Until now we have ______many improvements in women's employment.

?[A] brought out

?[B] brought up

?[C] brought forward

?[D] brought about

(分数:1.00)

A.

B.

C.

D. √

解析:动词词组辨析题。bring out表,示“取出;使显出”;bring叩表示“养育;提出(观点、意见等)”;bring forward表示“提前,提出,引证”;bring about表示“引起,使发生,带来……的结果”。根据句子意思可知正[D]正确。

22.In the second round of the elimination match, that famous athlete was ______and didn't enter the final, which was really out of our expectation.

?[A] knocked down

?[B] knocked over

?[C] knocked at

?[D] knocked out

(分数:1.00)

A.

B.

C.

D. √

解析:动词词组辨析题。knock down后可以接表示人的宾语,但意为“击倒,撞倒”;knock over后接表示人的宾语时,意为“撞倒;碾压”;knock at意为“敲(门;窗等)”;而knock out特指“(在淘汰赛中被)淘汰”。

23.By the end of this century intelligent robot ______ to do most of the housework for man.

?[A] is expected to be invented

?[B] will have been expected to be invented

?[C] has been expected to be invented

?[D] is expected to have been invented

英语四级信息匹配(改革后)_

Universities Branch Out A) As never before in their long history, universities have become instruments of national competition as well as instruments of peace. They are the place of the scientific discoveries that move economies forward, and the primary means of educating the talent required to obtain and maintain competitive advantage. But at the same time, the opening of national borders to the flow of goods, services, information and especially people has made universities a powerful force for global integration, mutual understanding and geopolitical stability. B) In response to the same forces that have driven the world economy, universities have become more self-consciously global: seeking students from around the world who represent the entire range of cultures and values, sending their own students abroad to prepare them for global careers, offering courses of study that address the challenges of an interconnected world and collaborative (合作的) research programs to advance science for the benefit of all humanity. C) Of the forces shaping higher education none is more sweeping than the movement across borders. Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, from 800,000 in 1975 to 2.5 million in 2004. Most travel from one developed nation to another, but the flow from developing to developed countries is growing rapidly. The reverse flow, from developed to developing countries, is on the rise, too. Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the doctoral degrees awarded in the United States and 38 percent of those in the United Kingdom. And the number crossing borders for undergraduate study is growing as well, to 8 percent of the undergraduates at America?s best institutions and 10 percent of all undergraduates in the U.K. In the United States, 20 percent of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born, and in China many newly hired faculty members at the top research universities received their graduate education abroad. D) Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduate years in another country. In Europe, more than 140,000 students participate in the Erasmus program each year, taking courses for credit in one of 2,200 participating institutions across the continent. And in the United States, institutions are helping place students in summer internships (实习) abroad to prepare them for global careers. Yale and Harvard have led the way, offering every undergraduate at least one international study or internship opportunity—and providing the financial resources to make it possible. E) Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research center focused on the genetics of human disease at Shanghai?s Fudan University, in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai center has 95

2016英语专四考试改革 解析题型及策略

英语专四考试改革解析题型及”新“备考建议 专四改革说明及“新”备考建议 首先,在考试政策上的一大调整为:即便专四没有通过,同样可以报考专八! 这一消息对各位考生非常有利。因为之前专四不通过就不能报考专八,不但导致不少同学挫败感和压力非常大,而且确实也有不少考生因准备”二战“专四而分散了准备专八的精力。 其次,输入部分的难度降低。具体表现在: 1)听写从原来的15处句子填空,改为10处; 2)听力不再考查新闻听力 新闻听力以前一直是难点,考生心中之痛。因为新闻的语速非常快,但每段材料包含的信息量却非常大,往往考生还没反应出

刚刚听到的是什么内容,该段新闻就结束了。 3)阅读理解取消了完形填空,改为与四、六级类似的15选10; 4)语法题目由原来30道,减少为20道; 相应备考策略变化No.1: 尽量把听力部分的分数冲高! 听力部分用以前难度更高的真题练习,反而有利于当前的考试,“练难考易”是应对考试极佳的一大策略。 阅读部分在没有更多新题目出来以前,不妨多拿六级的15选10进行练手。 虽然六级题目难度略低,但做题的“手感”保持好,也会对考场上的阅读速度提高有不少帮助。

专四阅读在考场上最大的挑战不再是词汇、语法、语篇等的不懂和纠结,而是题量大,阅读速度的一场较量! 3)语法题目题量虽然减少,但是通过历年真题的反复训练,这部分基本是“必得分”。换句话说,这部分只要多练,考场就有机会拿满分。因此,仍然不可轻视。 不过,输出部分比重上升,难度有所提升。具体表现在: 1)听力部分新增听力笔记填空 (gap-filling),不过比专八稍简单的是会提前发试卷,可预读和预判; 2)阅读新增简答题,且回答字数有限制; 3)作文部分需要在两篇既定文章基础上,在30分钟内,写出一篇200词左右的摘要写作型议论文。这一题型在PETS4级最新改革的样卷中也有出现。 相应备考策略变化No.2:

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:

Please write a short essay entitled Commercialization of Campus Music. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. (分数:2.00) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(正确答案: Commercialization of Campus Music In recent years, campus music has been commercialized gradually. More and more enterprises are interested in being the sponsors of college music festivals or awarding competitions of campus singers. The following factors can account for this phenomenon. In the first place, some enterprises' paying more attention to campus music is out of their sense of commitment to the society. They want to set healthy enterprise images before the public. In the second place, nowadays entertainment market is very popular. Enterprises want to utilize entertainment activities to improve their fame and influence. In the third place, college students, as the focus of the whole society, are a good choice for these enterprises. However, induced by fame and wealth, some campus singers try to cater to the taste of the public and lost their own styles gradually. Therefore, in order to make campus music develop more healthily, both the sponsors of music activities and our campus singers should pay more attention to music itself but not profit.) 解析: 3.Directions: College students have long been a social focus.

You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. (分数:2.00) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(正确答案: My Advice to the Undergraduates It is common that each year many college students can't hunt a satisfactory job after graduation. Due to the fierce competition in the job market, it's quite difficult to get a decent job for a college graduate. Many college students complain that graduation means the coming of unemployment. To avoid this dilemma, some advice should be given to the undergraduates. Firstly, study as hard as you can. Surely an applicant with more high marks in his resume will be more likely to get a job. Secondly, get a part-time job which is related to the job you want to get in the future. Thirdly, take part in all sorts of activities in college as possible as you can so as to improve your comprehensive quality. Therefore, in order to avoid unemployment after graduation, the undergraduates have to prepare themselves for the job-hunting long before their graduation. By doing so, they will have more opportunities to find a good job after graduation.) 解析: 4.Directions: Nowadays there is a heated debate about whether we should develop highways or public transportation.
