Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.

The festive break is fast becoming a distant memory and for many, New Year fitness regimes are too. Despite2.6m people starting diets on New Year's Day, research suggests that by the end of

the week 92 percent of dieters gave up,36exercise and gorging on comfort food.

Findings37 by weightloss firm XLS-Medical, suggest that the 38 majority are unsuccessful at sticking to their diets for more than five days a week. Two out of l0 dieters 39 they have their first diet relapse (退步) just four to five days in, with hunger cited as the main cause. Boredom and alcohol were40 blamed for people failing to keep their health kick on track.

Dr. Matt Capehorn, Clinical Director of the National Obesity Forum, 41 that just one day off from dieting can undo a week's worth of hard work. He told Female First: "A healthy diet, aimed at losing llb per week, relies on saving 3500 calories a week by having 500 calories less each day." "A day off the diet should mean that you eat the correct amount, but many dieters see it as an excuse to binge (大吃大喝 ) and have thousands of calories more than they need. "

The results suggest that a 42590,000 could already have43to stick to New Year diet resolutions. And a vast majority are unaware of the negative impact a single day off can have on their weight loss efforts.

Section B

Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.

You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.

A University Degree No Longer Confers Financial Security

A．Millions of school-leavers in the rich world are about to bid a tearful goodbye to their parents and start a new life at university. Some are inspired by a pure love of learning. But most also believe that spending three or four years at university--and accumulating huge debts in the process--will boost their chances of landing a well-paid and secure job.

B．Their elders have always told them that education is the best way to equip themselves to thrive in a globalised world. Blue-collar workers will see their jobs outsourced and automated, the familiar argument goes. School dropouts will have to cope with a life of cash-strapped (资金

紧张的) insecurity. But the graduate elite will have the world at its feet. There is some evidence to support this view. A recent study from Georgetown University's Centre on Education and the Workforce argues that"obtaining a post-secondary credential ( 证书) is almost always worth it." Educational qualifications are tightly correlated with earnings: an American with a professional degree can expect to pocket $3.6m over a lifetime; one with merely a high- school diploma can expect only $1.3m. The gap between more- and less-educated earners may be widening. A study in 2002 found that someone with a bachelor's degree could expect to earn 75% more over a lifetime than someone with only a high-school diploma. Today the disparity is even greater.

C．But is the past a reliable guide to the future? Or are we at the beginning of a new phase in the relationship between jobs and education? There are good reasons for thinking that old patterns are about to change--and that the current recession-driven downturn (衰退) in the demand for Western graduates will morph (改变) into something structural. The strong wind of creative destruction that has shaken so many blue-collar workers over the past few decades is beginning to shake the cognitive elite as well.

D．The supply of university graduates is increasing rapidly. The Chronicle of Higher Education calculates that between 1990 and 2007 the number of students going to university increased by 22% in North America, 74% in Europe, 144% in Latin America and 203% in Asia. In 2007 150m people attended university around the world, including 70m in Asia. Emerging economies—specially China--are pouring resources into building universities that can compete with the elite of America and Europe. They are also producing professional- services firms snch as Tata Consulting Services and Infosys that take fresh graduates and turn them into world-class computer programmers and consultants. The best and the brightest of the rich world must increasingly compete with the best and the brightest from poorer countries who are willing to work harder for less money.

E. At the same time, the demand for educated labor is being reconfigured (重新配置) by technology, in much the same way that the demand for agricultural labor was reconfigured in the 19th century and that for factory labor in the 20th. Computers can not only perform repetitive mental tasks much faster than human beings. They can also empower amateurs to do what professionals once did: why hire a flesh-and-blood accountant to complete your tax return when Turbotax (a software package ) will do the job at a fraction of the cost? And the variety of jobs that computers can do is multiplying as programmers teach them to deal with tone and linguistic ambiguity.

F.Several economists, including Paul Krugman, have begun to argue that post-industrial societies will be characterized not by a relentless rise in demand for the educated but by a great "hollowing out", as mid-level jobs are destroyed by smart machines and high-level job growth slows. David Autor, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), points out that the main effect of automation in the computer era is not that it destroys blue-collar jobs but that it destroys any job that can be reduced to a routine. Alan Blinder of Princeton University, argues that the jobs graduates have traditionally performed are if anything more "offshorable" than low-wage ones.

A plumber or lorry-driver's job cannot be outsourced to India. A computer programmer's can. G. A university education is still a prerequisite for entering some of the great industries, such as medicine, law and academia (学术界), that provide secure and well-paying jobs. Over the 20th century these industries did a wonderful job of raising barriers to entry--sometimes for good reasons (nobody wants to be operated on by a barber) and sometimes for self-interested ones. But these industries are beginning to bend the roles. Newspapers are fighting a losing battle with

the blogosphere. Universities are replacing tenure-track professors with non-tenured staff. Law firms are contracting out routine work such as"discovery" (digging up documents relevant to a lawsuit) to computerized-search specialists such as Blackstone Discovery. Even doctors are threatened, as patients find advice online and treatment in Walmart's new health centers. H.Thomas Malone of MIT argues that these changes--automation, globalizafion and deregulation--may be part of a bigger change: the application of the division of labor to brain-work. Adam Smith's factory managers broke the production of pins into 18 components. In the same way, companies are increasingly breaking the production of brain-work into ever tinier slices. TopCoder chops up IT projects into bite-sized chunks and then serves them up to a worldwide workforce of freelance coders.

I.These changes will undoubtedly improve the productivity of brain-workers. They will allow consumers to sidestep (规避 ) the professional industries that have extracted high rents for their services. And they will empower many brain-workers to focus on what they are at and contract out more tedious tasks to others. But the reconfiguration of brain-work will also make life far less cozy and predictable for the next generation of graduates.

46. The creative destruction that has happened to blue-collar workers in the past also starts to affect the cognitive elite.

47. For the next generation of graduates, life will be far less comfortable and predictable with brain-work reconfigured.

48. After computers are taught by programmers to deal with tone and linguistic ambiguity, the variety of jobs they can do will increase dramatically.

49. Most school-leavers believe that, despite the huge debts they owe, going to university will increase their chances of getting secure jobs with high salaries.

50. Modern companies are more likely to break the production of intellectual work into ever tinier slices.

51. A scholar of Princeton University claims that the jobs traditionally taken by graduates are more likely to be offshored than low-wage ones.

52. The income gap between an American professional degree holder and an American high-school graduate shows income is closely related to educational qualifications.

53. The changes in the division of brain-work will save consumers some high service fees the professional organizations charge.

54. Some students have always been told that. to achieve success in a globalised world, it is most advisable to equip themselves with education.

55. Emerging economies are providing a lot of resources to build universities to compete with the elite of America and Europe.

Section C

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each 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 Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.

People's tastes in recreation differ widely. At a recent festival of pop-music in the Isle of

Wight, crowds of teenagers flocked to listen to their favorite singers and musicians. They went with single railway tickets and slept in the open, a very risky thing to do in the climate of Britain, even in August. They were packed together like sardines for four days. There were innumerable thieves, a gang of roughs tried several times to break things up, and police were everywhere. At the end of the festival many young fans found themselves broke, with no money left,and they had difficulty in getting back home. Most people would consider these conditions a nightmare of discomfort; the fans appeared to enjoy it all enormously.

Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large tracts of open un-spoilt country, where people with more traditional tastes can go for quiet, and for the sense of freedom they derive from contact with nature. In the national parks especially, modern development of housing and industry is strictly controlled. Visitors may walk for miles through landscape of the greatest beauty and wildness, and often of considerable historic or scientific interest. Along the coasts of some of the maritime counties, public pathways have been created; these paths for many miles along cliffs that look out on the Atlantic Ocean or the English Channel. Another path,lying inland, goes along the range of mountains in the north of England. It is called the Pennine Way. Here, the long-distance waller and the nature-lover can find much to enjoy, without feeling disturbed by large numbers of their fellows.

Yet few people make full use of the national parks established for everyone's benefit. The commonest thing nowadays is for family groups to motor out to a beautiful spot and park their cars in a lay-by ( 英国的路旁停车带 ). A picnic basket is produced, along with a folding table and chairs, a kettle and a portable stove. They then settle down to a picnic in the lay-by beside the car. Apparently their idea of enjoyment is to get into the fresh air and amongst the country sights and sounds without having to wall a yard. They seem almost to like to hear and to smell the traffic.

56. In Britain it is very risky to __________.

A．go with a single railway ticket

B．listen to pop-music at the festival

C. sleep in the open

D．pack together in crowds

57. At the end of the festival, many young fans__________.

A．were arrested by the police

B．had spent most of their money

C．were sleeping out

D．became quite penniless

58. Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large__________.

A．tracks through the open country

B．areas of country without soil

C．areas of countryside not developed

D．expanses of land where nobody works

59. Public pathways are created for people to__________.

A．commute to work

B．enjoy long-distance walking

C. wall to maritime counties

D．visit the historic or scenic sites

60. Family groups nowadays like to__________.

A．have meals out of doors by the road-side

B．go for a walk away from home

C．drive out past the beautiful places

D．hear and smell the animals

Passage Two

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. All well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.

For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have eactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else--he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute bluntly; he does so with skill and polish. "I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned. " Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: "This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on. "

Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way.

Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only"having a look around". She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the look-out for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps,before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. So most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

61. When a man is buying clothes, __________.

A．he chooses things that others recormnend

B．he buys cheap things, regardless of quality

C．he buys good things, so long as they are not too expensive

D. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things

62. In commerce a good salesman is one who__________.

A．sells something a customer does not particularly want

B．always has in stock the thing the customer wants

C．can find out quickly the goods required

D．does not waste his time on difficult customers

63. What does a man do when he cannot get exactly what he wants?

A．He buys something that is similar enough to the ideal one.

B．He usually does not buy anything.

C．At least two of his reqnirements must be met before he buys.

D．So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.

64. According to this passage, when shopping for clothes, women__________.

A．often buy things without thinking

B．seldom buy cheap clothes

C．welcome suggestions from anyone

D．never take any advice

65. What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers'?

A．The fact that men do not try clothes on in a shop.

B．Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not.

C．Women stand up while shopping, but men sit down.

D. The time they take over buying clothes.

大学英语四级考试预测试题一答案精析

Part IWriting

【范文】

Internet and the Distance among People

As we can see from the picture, Internet connects the human society together, but sadly, walls of barrier are estricting people in their own space.

It is undeniable that Internet has changed the way people live. With many programs such as instant messaging, online communities, micro.blogs and so forth, communication can nearly be carried out everywhere at any time. But despite the great convenience, we find the distance among people becomes farther, instead of nearer. We play online games and forget to call the family; we sit alone surfing the net with mobile phones when classmates are gathering together; children today often play with the tablet computers, rather than with other kids from the neighborhood.

In my view, we should use the Internet reasonably, and keep in mind that the real life is much more meaningful than the virtual one. To be closer to other people, we should talk with them, using our voice, instead offinger tips. And we should pass this idea on to the younger generation. 【译文】

互联网与人们之间的距离

正如我们从图片中所看到的，互联网将人类社会联系在一起，但悲哀的是，重重阻隔将人们只限制在自己的空间。

无可否认，互联网改变了人们的生活方式，有了即时通讯软件、网络社区、微博等等，交流可以随时随地实现。但尽管互联网带来了如此大的便利，我们却发现人与人之间的距离变得越来越疏远，而不是越来越

亲近。我们可能只顾着玩网络游戏而忘了给家人打电话，也可能在同学聚会的时候独自坐在角落里用手机上网；如今的小孩经常是在玩平板电脑，而不是和邻居家的小孩一起玩。

在我看来，我们应该合理使用互联网，并且记住：真实世界要比虚拟世界更有意义。为了拉近与他人的距离，我们应该多用声音而不是用指尖与他们交流。而且我们应该将这一理念传递给年轻的一代。

【句法点评】

1．As we can see from the picture，Internet connects the human society together，but sadly…首段描述图画的内容，用connect…together表示“联系在一起”，用but sadly转入相反方面的事实。2．It is undeniable that Internet has changed the way people live．

本句为it引导的主语从句，真正的主语是that后面的内容。Itisundeniable意为“无可否认的是……”，也可以替换为undoubtedly。

3．But despite the great convenience，we fmd the distance among people becomes farther，instead of nearer．despite意为“尽管”，表示让步，其后面可以直接接名词或名词短语。farther与nearer相对。instead of意为“而不是”。有强调的作用。

4．．．．children today often play with the tablet computers，rather than with other kids from the neighborhood．ratherthan后面为避免重复，承前省略了play。“邻居家的孩子”即为kidsfromtheneighborhood。

【解析】女士说：“看外面，雪多漂亮!”男士回答说：“So we did get SnOW after all．(我们终究还是看到

下雪了。)”题目问男士原本是怎么以为的，从男士的回答可以看出他此前还以为他们看不到下雪了，故选C。

8．D

W: Has the technician called about the repairs yet?

M: When he does, I'll have you talk to hhn.

Q: What does the man mean?

【听前预测】

1．两项以thewoman开头。

Conversatioil One

W: I've been reading about a new healthful snack food. [9] It's made from fish. Have you heard anything about it?

M: No, I haven't. [9] But I don't like fish very much anyway.

W: Not to worry. Although it's made primarily from fish, it actually doesn't have a fishy taste. In fact it can be flavored with tomato, cheese, or chocolate for instance.

M: [9] How could it not taste fishy? Do you know how this snack food is made?

W: First, the fish is minced, cooked and fermented, then water and starch are added to make a dough.

M: It sounds awful.

W: Actually the dough is very bland at that point. So the flavorings are added to give it some taste.

M: Well, it still sounds a little strange. [10] But I suppose this product will at least be low calorie and high protein, like a health food.

W: Yes, you could call it that. And it has a long shelf life, so it won't spoil quickly. It is also easy to digest and can be made from types of fish that usually aren't eaten or from high grade fish byproducts.

M: Have you got any samples? I might be willing to try the cheese-flavored variety.

W: No. [11 ] None of these seems to be available yet. As I understand it, this fish snack food probably won't be in the stores for another couple of years. So you have a while to get used to the whole idea.

M: A couple of years, ha? It may just take me that long, but thanks for telling me about it.

9.What seems to surprise the man about the new product?

10. What would be a good reason for buying the product?

11. When will the new product be available?

9．D

【听前预测】

1．三项以its开头。

2．三项含有与性状有关的词；(colors，texture，ingredient)。

结论：本题可能与某事物的特征有关。

【解析】女士向男士谈及一种新的健康食品，是用鱼肉做成的。男士第一次听说，但对这种新产品的第一反应是他不喜欢鱼，因此不会太喜欢。接着女士向他解释说这种食品虽然是由鱼制成的，但并没有鱼味，而是添加了多种口味，如：西红柿、奶酪、巧克力等等。男士随后提出的问题是“How coulditnot tastefishy?”可见男士对制成这种新产品的原料最为好奇，故选D。

10．B

【听前预测】

1．四项均以its开头。

2．四项均含有形容词(10w，good，wide，high)。

3．四项均为正面评价。

结论：本题可能考查某事物的优点：

【解析】在女士向男士介绍了这种食品的做法之后，男士说它听起来仍然有点奇怪，但他认为这种食品至少是低热量、高蛋白的(lowcalorieandlli曲protein)。可见这种食品的卖点之一在于它的营养价值，故选B。

11．C

【听前预测】

1．四项均以in开头。

2．四项均表示一段时间。

结论：本题可能考查时间间隔，应注意听与时间有关的信息。

【解析】在听了女士的介绍之后，男士表示对奶酪口味的比较有兴趣，这时女士说“None ofthese seems to be availablevet．(无论哪种口味目前都还没有上市。)”想要买到的话可能还要等几年。选项C中的several years是对原文中another couple of years的同义转述，故选C。

Conversation Two

M: Hello.

W: Hello, this is Emily Wood. May I speak to Robert Gilbank please?

M: Hi, Emily, it's Robert. What can I do for you?

W: Well, I'm calling about the theater group I belong to, the Princeton Players. We are looking for more people to join us, especially men. 1121 And I thought you might be interested.

M: Oh, gosh, [12 ] you know how much I love acting, [14 ] but I'm taking some very hard courses.

I might be able to learn my part, but I would hardly have time to come to the rehearsals. W: Well, actually, [13] we rehearse only one night a week, Thursdays from seven to ten, though we would have to put in extra time before performance.

M: Only once a week, you say, Well, could you give me some time to think it over?

W: Sure, but look, [15 ] why don't you come and watch our rehearsal next Thursday? I think you will like the way we work. When you see how much fun it is, you will want to join right away. M: 1151 Okay, I'll come to a rehearsal, but I can't promise more than that.

W: Great. I'll give you a call on Wednesday to remind you. Talk to you then, bye now.

M: Bye, Emily.

12. Why does Emily invite Robert to join in the theater group?

13. How often does the group rehearse?

14. Why does Robert ask for time to think about whether he will join the group?

15. What does Emily expect Robert to do?

12．C

【听前预测】

1．三项含有he，一项含有his。

2．三项含有与表演有关的词汇(actors，acting，actingjoB．。

结论：对话可能与男士及表演有关。

【解析】女士给男士打电话，邀请他加入剧团，因为女士觉得男士可能会比较感兴趣。对此男士的回答是“Oh，gosh，youknowhowmuchIlove acting．(哦，天哪，你知道我有多喜欢表演。)”可见，埃米莉邀请罗伯特加入剧团正是因为她知道罗伯特喜欢表演。

13．A

【听前预测】

1.两项以every开头。

2．两项以aweek结尾。

3．四项都是表示频率的短语。

结论：本题可能与某件事发生的频率有关。

【解析】动词rehearse意为“排练”，其名词形式为rehearsal。本题问的是埃米莉所在的剧团多久会进行一次排练。对话中明确提到，她们每周只在周四晚7点到l0点排练一次，可见选项A所说的“onenight a week(每周一次)”是正确的。选项C具有一定的迷惑性，因为对话中的确提到了Thursday，但该选项所说的every otherThumday意思是“每隔一周的周四”，故表述不正确。

14．B

【听前预测】

1．三项以he开头，一项以his开头。

2．三项含有与时间有关的词汇(schedule，time)。

结论：本题可能考查与男士的时间安排有关的内容。

【解析】在女士邀请男士的时候，男士回答说他的确很喜欢表演，但之后又提到“but l’m taking some very hard courses．(我选了一些非常难的课程。)”可见男士由于学业繁重无法分太多的精力给剧团活动，故选B。

15．C

【听前预测】

1．四项均以动词原形开头(see，learn，enjoy，pick)。

2．两项以时间结尾(Wednesday，Thursday)。

3．两项含有与表演有关的词汇(part，rehearsal)。

结论：本题可能考查在未来某一时间要做的事情。

【解析】男士无法立即作出决定，于是女士建议男士周四先去看看她们排练，当他发现其中的乐趣之后，自然会决定加入。可见，女士希望男士会喜欢剧团的排练，从而成为剧团的一员，故本题选C。

Section B

Passage One

【听力原文】

Good afternoon. I'm Celia Kim, housing director here at the university. [ 16] I'm visiting all the dormitories this week to inform students about check-out procedures. I know you have a lot on your minds with finals coming up, but there are a few things you need to be aware of as you prepare to leave for vacation. This dormitory will be closed during the summer months and will reopen on September 1st. You must vacate your room by June 3rd. Even if you're registered for classes during the summer, you must leave this dorm by June 3rd. If this poses a problem for you, you should contact my office as soon as possible. You should remember to turn in your room key before you leave. Failure to return your key can result in a 20-dollar fine. [17 ] You must also make sure that all of your personal property has been cleared out of your room. [18] I'll be passing out a form for you to fill out concerning the condition of your room. You should report on the form any damage to your room which has occurred over the last year, such as holes in the room's walls, doors, windows or cabinets. That way, our summer maintenance crew will know where to make repairs before the next school year starts. If you have any questions during the next few days, please ask your resident advisors or call my office. Now please take one of the forms as they are passed around.

16. What does the speaker mainly discuss?

17. Before leaving their dorm rooms, what must the students do?

18. What must students report on the forms?

16．D

【解题思路】四项均为名词短语，相互之间关联度不高，且该题目为此段短文的第一题，因此很可能考查短文的主旨。

【解析】讲话者在开头就进行了自我介绍，表明自已是“housing director here atthe university(大学的住宿主管)，其讲话内容也围绕学生宿舍在暑期的各项管理规定展开，可见该短文的主旨是暑期前的各项退宿手续，故选D。check-out意为“离开房间；退房结账”，其反义短语为“check-in(办理入住；登记，报到)”。

17．C

【解题思路】

1．四项均以动词原形开头(register，repair，remove，call)。

2．三项属于学生可能需要做的事情(register for summer school，remove personal property，call the housing office)。

结论：本题可能考查学生需要做的事情，应留意与动作有关的信息。

【解析】本题是问学生在离开宿舍前必须要做的事情。housing director重点强调了三件事情：一是学生

必须在6月3日之前搬离宿舍，如有困难，需与宿管部门联系；二是学生在离校之前要交出钥匙；三是要确保将自己的个人财物带出自己的房间。没有选项提及搬离或交钥匙的事情，故正确答案只能是C。

18．B

【解题思路】

1．四项均为名词性短语。

2．两项含有与假期有关的词汇(summer addresses，leave)，分别涉及地点和时间。

结论：应注意听与假期有关的名词，可能是需要听众提供某种信息。

【解析】本题是问学生在表格里应该填写什么信息。讲话者提到，学生需要填写一个关于房间状况的表格，写明在过去的一年当中房屋设施有哪些损坏，比如墙、门、窗、柜子等等。故选B。

Passage Two

【听力原文】

Good evening. I am doctor Winkle, saying hello to you from the school radio station. Do you have trouble sleeping at night? Tossing and turning in your bed can be a very painful Then maybe this is for you.

[ 19 ] When you worry about needing sleep and twisting around, trying to find a comfortable position, you're probably only making matters worse. What happens is that your heart rate actually increases, making it more difficult to relax. You may also have some bad habits that contribute to the problem.[20] Do you rest frequently during the day? Do you get virtually no exercise, or do you exercise strenuously late in the day?

Do you think about sleeping a lot or sleeping late on weekends? Any or all of these factors might be leading to your insomnia by disrupting your body's natural rhythm. What should you do then on those sleepless nights? [21 ] Don't bother with sleeping pills. They can actually cause worse insomnia later. The best thing to do is to drink milk or eat cheese or tuna fish. They are all rich in the amino acid that helps produce in the brain a neurotransmitter that induces sleep. This neurotransmitter will help you relax, and you'll be on the way to get a good night's sleep. Until tomorrow's broadcast, this has been another in the series "Hints for Good Health" by Doctor Winkle.

19. What happens when you turn and twist to get comfortable?

20. What sometimes causes people to have trouble sleeping?

21. What does the speaker say about sleeping pills?

19．B

【解题思路】

1．四项均为句子。

2．三项含有与睡眠、休息有关词汇(relax，sleep，sleeping)。

3．四项均提及第二人称(your，you)。

结论：本题可能考查对睡眠情况的描述，从句式来看，可能是谈到某种影响。

【解析】短文在开始部分提到，如果担心自己难以入睡，一直辗转反侧试图找一个舒服的姿势的话，你很可能只会使情况更糟，因为这时候心率会加快，从而使人更难以放松、入睡，故选B：

20．C

【解题思路】

1．四项均为名词短语。

2．两项含有与缺少有关的词汇(failure，lack)。

3．三项含有与睡眠、休息有关的词汇(rest，sleep，goingto beD．。

结论：本题可能是问什么因素会导致失眠。

【解析】短文提到，“可能还有其他一些不好的习惯会导致失眠。你白天是不是经常休息?你是不是一点都不锻炼?抑或是你很晚的时候还做剧烈运动?你周末的时候是不是想多睡一会或睡懒觉?其中任何一个因素或者所有这些因素都可能导致失眠，因为它们会打乱你身体的自然节奏。”将各选项中的叙述与短文提及的内容比对即可得出正确选项为c。D(睡前吃奶酪)在后文中虽有提及，但却属于有助于睡眠的做法。21．A

【解题思路】

1．三项以they开头，需先判定they的指代对象。

2．三项含有与产生影响有关的动词(cause，help，make)。

结论：本题可能考查某种东西会产生何种影响。

【解析】题干问讲话者(即温克尔博士)对于安眠药持怎样的观点。温克尔博士提到：“当晚上失眠的时候，你应该做些什么呢?不要吃安眠药，因为安眠药会引起以后更糟糕的失眠。最好是喝点牛奶，吃些奶酪或者金枪鱼。”故选A。

Passage Three

【听力原文】

[22] We've just discussed how most snakes move, but there are some notable exceptions. One is the snake called the "American side-winder". From its name, you can probably guess that it moves sideways rather than in a straight line. This is because it lives in the desert where the sand slips and slides. [23] With nothing firm to push against for traction, the side-winder has had to adapt its way of movement to the shifting sand. It pushes against the sand with the entire side of its body, and then move sideways or sidesteps. Think about how a skier climbs a slope on skies. The skier places the skies at an angle of approximately 90 degrees to the direction of movement. The skier then moves each ski by taking a step to the side up the slope. The side-winder snake moves in much the same manner. It lays its body at about 60 degree angle to the direction in which it wants to go. By doing this, the snake has more sand to push against. Then it points its head in the direction it wants to go and leaps to a parallel spot. Contractions down the length of the snake's body force the remainder of the body to follow. [24] If you see the tracks left by a side-winder in loose sand, you'll see a series of paralleled lines. !251 An added advantage gained from this method of moving may be that the snake's body is kept cooler by the breaking of contact with the hot sand during its leaps.

22. What is the main topic of the talk?

23. Why does the side-winder move the way it does?

24. What do the side-winder's tracks look like?

25. What may be a special advantage of the side-winder's method of moving?

22．C

【解题思路】

1．四项均为名词性短语，且相互之间关联度不高。

2．两项合有与沙漠有关的词汇(sand，desert)。

结论：本题可能考查短文的主旨。

【解析】讲话者在开头处就提到：“刚刚我们已经讲了大多数蛇的移动方式，但是还有一些明显的特例，American side—winder(北美斜行蛇)就是其中的一种。”接下来，讲话者详细介绍了这种蛇的移动方式。故选C。

23．B

【解题思路】四项均为以to开头的不定式短语。而不定式短语通常可以表示目的。因此本题很可能考查某种做法的目的是什么。

【解析】题干问这种斜行蛇为什么要这样移动。短文中提到：“With no thing fu'rn to push against for traction，the side—winder has had to adapt its way of movement to the shifting sand．(由于找不到坚硬的东西来提供支撑摩擦力，斜行蛇只能使其移动的方式适应松软的细沙环境。)”接着，讲话者将这种蛇的移动方式与滑雪者的行进路线进行了类比，故选B。

24．D

【解题思路】

1．四项均以lines结尾。

2．修饰lines的均为表示形状的形容词(wavy，circular，perpendicular，parallel)。

结论：本题可能考查这种蛇移动路线的具体形状，需重点关注与lines有关的内容。

【解析】短文中明确提到，如果你观察斜行蛇在细沙中留下的痕迹，就会发现它的行迹是平行线的形状，故选D。其他三项wavy(波浪形)、circular(圆形)、perpendicular(垂直线形)均未提及，可以排除。25．A

【解题思路】

1．四项均为名词短语。

2．三项以比较级开头(10wer，greater，wider)。

3．四项均含有与动物的生理状态有关的词或短语(body temperatures，energy consumption，conceal itself,vision)。

结论：本题可能考查斜行蛇特殊的移动方式对于其在沙漠中的生存有什么好处。

【解析】讲话者在结尾处指出，这种移动方式在行进的过程中有短时离开地面的时候，因此能够使斜行蛇在灼热的沙漠里保持较低的体温，故选A。

Section C

【听力原文】

The northern Italian city of Milan banned all traffic from its streets for 10 hours on Sunday [ 26 ] in an attempt to reduce smog.

The measure which was first imposed on a trial basis in the year 2007 is [ 27 ] triggered whenever pollution exceeds the statutory limit for 12 [28] consecutive days.

Satellite imagery shows Milan to be one of the most polluted cities in Europe. An estimated 120,000 [29]vehicles will be affected by the move, according to the major daily newspaper in the city. The most polluting vehicles have [30 ] been banned from driving through the city center since Thursday. But on Sunday, there was supposed to be no traffic between 8:00 and 18:00.

The ban is imposed when pollution [31 ] exceeds 50 micrograms of particulates per cubic meter of air over 12 days. The last time the full ban was [32] in force was in February.

The move is not popular with all environmentalists, who argue that the city's public transport

system should be improved to [33 ] discourage people from using their cars. Local Green Party councilor Enrico Fedrighini said cars with three or four people inside should be offered free parking, for example. "One or two car-free Sundays

each month will not do anything to [34] tackle the smog crisis," he told the daily newspaper in the city.

Public transport was to be bolstered during the day, with an [35] extra metro trains and buses operating.

Part ⅢReading Comprehension

Section A

【参考译文】

新年假期会很快成为遥远的回忆，而对很多人来说，新年的减肥计划也会很快被抛之脑后。调查显示，尽管有260万人在新年第一天开始节食，但在该星期结束时，已有92％的节食减肥者放弃，[36]不再运动。而且开始大吃大喝。

减重中心XLS医院[37]发布的这项调查结果表明，[38]大多数人都无法在制定节食减肥计划的一周内坚持五天以上。五分之一的节食减肥者[39]承认自己在第四五天的时候就坚持不住了，他们提到的主要原因是饥饿。单调乏味和酒精的刺激[40]也让他们无法坚持瘦身计划。

国家肥胖论坛医疗主任马特·凯普霍恩博士[4l]强调说，仅仅一天不坚持节食就会毁掉一周的努力。他告诉《女士优先》杂志说：“健康的节食是一星期减去1磅，这需要一周内减少3500卡路里的摄取，而一天减少500卡路里的摄取即可。”“一天不节食应该意味着你摄入正确的食量，而很多节食者却把它当做大吃大喝的理由，摄取的卡路里数量比需要的多出好几千。”

调查结果显示，有[42]多达59万人可能已经[43]放弃了新年减肥计划。而且还有很多人不清楚一天不坚持节食对其减肥计划有何负面影响。然而[44]总的来说，仅有5％的女性能坚持到最后，直到[45]达到目标体重。

【答案解析】

36．E

语法判断：exercise后是and，而and前后应为并列结构(又称平行结构)，因为and后为gorging on comfortfood，所以前面也应当是现在分词短语，因此应填入现在分词。备选项中只有shunning是现在分词，因此答案很明确。

语义判断：shun：(故意或习惯地)避免；回避，躲开。从语义上判断也是正确的。

37.G

语法判断：此处应为定语来修饰fmdings，后为by，而过去分词既表示被动又可用作后置宾语，所以此处应填入过去分词。

语义判断：备选的过去分词或过去式有reached、highlighted、blamed、released、lost、admitted、treated、

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

T o begin with, family in growing numbers has only one child; therefore, parents oft entimes focus all their attentions on that child and exert much pressure on him o r her(原因一).
