Are Families Demanding Too Much from Their Children?

Most families demand too much from their children. Usually parents will hope their

children to become a musician or a scientist or something else. The children are asked to play the piano and do extra homework everyday.

But the parents often ignore the interests of their children, who could not do well because

they have to choose what they hate to do. All parents love their children and try to give

them their best love. They expect a very successful child. But the problem is, most of the time, their love may be painful for their children.

Each child is born unique. Do not force them. Give them their own sky and space, and children have to be themselves. Every child is different. Every child has his/her own position

in the world. It is the parents’ responsibility to give them the best advice.

66. A. 根据文义，小男孩虽然不知道Information Please是查询台，但在受伤而家中又无

人的情况下，能自己打电话寻求帮助和安慰，因此说明他是一个聪明的孩子。

Section A Understanding Conversations

Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will

be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and

decide which is the best answer, then write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet 2.

Short Conversations

11. W: When does the next bus leave for New York?

M: Buses leave for New York every two hours. You just missed the 9:30 bus by ten

minutes.

Q: What time is it now?

12. M: Shall we go dancing tonight to relax ourselves? You’ve been writing your term paper

all these days.

W: I still have to collect some data, but maybe a break would do me good.

Q: What will the woman probably do?

13. M: I can’t figure out what’s wrong with my watch. It was just a month ago that I had it

repaired.

W: Don’t waste your time and money any more. It’s a very old watch and is quite worn out. Q: What does the woman mean?

14. M: Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?

W: I’d like to, but I have an appointment with my friend.

Q: What does the woman mean?

15. M: How much are these clothes?

W: They are on sale today, sir. 30 dollars for each jacket and 25 dollars for each T-shirt. Q: How much does one jacket and two T-shirts cost?

16. M: How will you spend your Saturday evening? Shall we go to the movies?

W: That’s exactly what I have been thinking about. Do you know what’s on tonight?

Q: What does the woman mean?

17. W: Yesterday’s play was quite good. The part of the secretary was played wonderfully, but I think the man who played the boss was too dramatic to be realistic.

158 Model Test 1

M: I couldn’t agree more.

Q: What does the man mean?

18. M: This TV set is not working properly. I suppose we should buy a new one, but I don’t see how we can afford it right now.

W: Why not borrow some money from your friends?

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

Long Conversations

Conversation One

M: Hello?

W: Hi, it’s me.

M: Oh, hi! How was the job interview?

W: Well, he hired me.

M: You got the job? The management job? Oh, that’s great!

W: No, I didn’t say I got the management job. He hired me for a job in customer service, selling tours to Asia.

M: Just customer service? But what about the management position? You were perfect

for that job. You can supervise people. You understand the business.

W: I know. I showed him my resume. I told him that I worked in travel management

for five years back home, and that I even got a degree in Business Management

here in the U.S.

M: Oh, I can’t believe that. You’re perfectly qualified for that management position.

W: That’s what I thought. It’s not fair! Why did I bother going to college here?

M: Wait, wait a minute. Did he know that you were applying for the management position?

W: Of course. But he didn’t give me that job.

M: Why?

W: He said that everyone really expects the manager to be someone from the local community. The person they hired is from New York. And she’s a woman, t oo, so

it’s not because I am a woman. So that means the problem is my English. I’m not a

native speaker, and I guess that’s what they want for the management job.

M: Well, you know, you spend a little time at the customer service job and then you

can work your way up to the management position.

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

19. What are the two speakers talking about?

20. What job does the woman get?

21. Why doesn’t the woman get the job she wanted?

22. What’s the pro bable relationship between the two speakers?

Conversation Two

M: Gee. You’ve hardly got anything on your tray.

W: Yeah. I guess I’m just not that hungry.

Band Two 159

M: What’s the matter? Aren’t you feeling well?

W: well, I’ve been really worried. It’s my car. It’s in the shop again.

M: Really? What’s wrong this time?

W: I don’t know exactly. Something’s wrong with the brakes, I think.

M: Well, at least that shouldn’t cost you much to fix. Parts are cheaper for all the

American cars like yours. Did the mechanic say how much it would cost?

W: He said he would call me with an estimate later on today.

M: Watch out he doesn’t try to take advantage of you.

W: What do you mean?

M: Well, some car mechanics, if they think that someone doesn’t know much about

cars, they might try to overcharge that person.

W: Maybe so. But I trust this guy. He was recommended by one of my neighbors. He

has done some for me in the past and his price seemed to be reasonable.

M: Oh, that’s good to know. Maybe I’ll try using him in the f uture. By the way, do you

need a ride home after class today?

W: Oh, I’d sure appreciate it. It’s really tough getting around without a car when you

live off campus.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

23. What do we learn from the conversation?

24. What does the woman imply about the mechanic?

25. What will the man probably do after class?

Section B Understanding Passages

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passages and the questions will be spoken only once. After you

hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C

and D. Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet 2.

Passage One

A university professor recently made several experiments with different animals to

find out which was the most intelligent. He found out that monkeys were more intelligent

than other animals.

In one experiment the professor put a monkey in a room where there were several

small boxes. Some boxes were inside other boxes. One small box had some food inside

of it. The professor wanted to watch the monkey and to find out how long it would take

the monkey to find the food. The professor left the room. He waited a few minutes outside

the door. Then he knelt down and put his eye to the keyhole. What did he see? To

his surprise he found himself looking directly into the eye of the monkey. The monkey

was looking at the professor through the keyhole on the other side of the door.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. What was the purpose of the professor’s experiments?

160 Model Test 1

27. What was the result of the professor’s experiments?

28. How did the professor watch the monkey?

Passage Two

There are many different kinds of cars in this world. My cousin thinks this is because

cars are like their drivers. He says, “Rich people have expensive cars, big people

have large cars, and old people drive old cars.” But I don’t agree with him. My ne ighbor,

Mrs. Hill, is 82 years old. She drives only on Tuesdays, and then she drives only to the

bank. She never drives more than 30 kilometers an hour. Do you think Mrs. Hill has a very

old and small car? No! Her car is new. It’s very large and it can go 200 kilometers per hour!

My friend, Mike, is an artist. He paints beautiful pictures with lots of colors. But

his car is black! Mrs. Bates has a very old car. It often has engine trouble. Does she drive

that kind of car because she is poor? NO, she has four restaurants and two million

dollars in the bank. My uncle Joe has a very small car. Every Sunday, he drives to the

country with his wife, his three children, his mother and their dog.

Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.

29. H ow does the speaker think about his cousin’s opinion about cars?

30. What kind of car does Mrs. Hill have?

31. Why does Mrs. Bates drive a very old car?

32. How many people are there in Joe’s car when Joe drives to the country every

Sunday?

Passage Three

I flew to San Francisco to take care of some business with Mr. Jordan. But as soon

as I arrived, I got sick and couldn’t meet with him. I had to call our appointment off.

Then when I felt better, I thought about visiting him at his home, but he lived too far

away. I tried to telephone him during office hours but he was busy. The receptionist

said that Mr. Jordan would call me back. But he didn’t. I gave up trying to make a new

appointment because it would take more time and effort than I wanted to spend. A few

days later, I saw a man on the street who looked like Mr. Jordan and I called out to him.

It was someone else. When I returned to my hotel that day, I found a message which

said that Mr. Jordan had gone out of town on some sudden unexpected business. I was

sorry I had missed seeing him, but I really enjoyed my sightseeing.

Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

33. How did the speaker go to San Francisco?

34. Why couldn’t the speaker meet Mr. Jordan when he got to San Francisco?

35. Why did the speaker give up making a new appointment?

Band Two 161

Section C Compound Dictation

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time,

you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information.

For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main

points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check

what you have written.

When my interest (36) shifted from space to the sea, I never (37) expected it would cause

such (38) confusion among my friends, yet I can understand their feelings. As I have been

writing and talking about space flight for the best part of 20 years, a sudden (39) switch of

interest to the depth of the sea do es seem peculiar. To explain, I’d like to share my reasons behind

this (40) unusual change of mind. The first excuse I give is an (41) economic one. Underwater

(42) exploration is so much cheaper than space flight. The first round-trip ticket to the

moon is going to cost at least 10 billion dollars if you include research and (43) development.

By the end of this century, the cost will be down to a few million. (44) On the other hand,

the diving suit and a set of basic tools needed for skin-diving can be bought for 20 dollars. My

second argument is more philosophical. (45) The ocean, surprisingly enough, has many things

in common with space. In their different ways, both sea and space are equally hostile. (46) If we

wish to survive in either for any length of time, we need to have mechanical aids. The diving

suit helped the design of the space suit. The feelings and the emotions of a man beneath the

sea will be much like those of a man beyond the atmosphere.

My View on the Reform of CET-4

As we all know, the reform of CET-4 is being carried out in some areas now. This

phenomenon has aroused a heated argument. Different people have different views on

“Should CET-4 be reformed?”. Some people think that it is nec essary and it can benefit

students because they believe it can improve students’ English level, especially in today’s society.

While others argue that the reform of CET-4 is not necessary and it can have negative effect on students. They think the reform of CET-4 can bring students more stress.

As far as I am concerned, I’m in favor of the reform of CET-4. For one thing, the new

type of CET-4 is more difficult than the previous one, so it can make students learn English

harder. For another, it trains studen ts’ comprehensive ability to apply English, especially

their hearing ability, which makes them be able to use English easily to carry on the

oral communication. Moreover, the reform of CET-4 is not just a reform of examination,

but a reform of university English education on the nation-wide scale.

Taking all these factors into consideration, we may safely come to the conclusion that

it is wise to reform the CET-4, and it is a good thing. Only if we make our efforts can we succeed in CET-4.

Section A

46. A. 本题考查动词短语define ... as ...。此处的... be defined as ... 为动词短语define ... as ... 的被动语态，意为“被定义为??”。

从语法角度分析，此处所填的词应为名词；再结合这句话要表达的意思“??改变

英国人的生活方式”，故只有N符合句意。

本文主要介绍了贝都因人民的光荣传统——忠诚，即对家族和部落的忠诚。

56. C. 事实细节题。文章第一段最后一句话提到，对贝都因人来说，忠诚就意味着要忠于家族和部落。四个选项中只有C符合题意，故答案为C。

57. D. 事实细节题。文中第四段提到了贝都因人保护他的家族荣誉的几种方式，A, B, C 三个选项都被提到了，故正确答案为D。

58. D. 事实细节题。从文中第三段第一句话可知，在贝都因人当中，一个人的地位取决于他的祖先、亲戚和部落同胞，故正确答案为D。

59. C. 推理判断题。文章最后一段提到，贝都因妇女不会给她的家族带来荣誉，但却会给她的家族带来耻辱，即便她只是看起来好像做错事了，她也可能会被处死，她

164 Model Test 2

家族的荣誉取决于她的美德，由此可推断出C为正确答案。

60. B. 推理判断题。由文中可知，贝都因人对家族和部落极为忠诚，由此可推断出他们的生命是以家族为中心的，故选B。

Passage Two

本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在美国，一个被逮捕的美国人所拥有的权利。

61. B. 事实细节和数字辨析题。文章第一段第一句就提到每年大约有四百万美国人被指控犯有各种不同的罪，小到偷窃、违反交通规则，大到谋杀。四个选项中只有B符

合题意，故答案为B。

62. B. 语义理解题。文章第一段第二句提到最高法院已做出决定，任何被指控有罪的人在法律之下都有某种权利。要正确回答本题，必须理解rule的意思，该词在本句

中意为“做出决定”，相当于decide，故选B。

63. C. 事实细节题。文章第二、三、四、五段分别介绍了在美国一个被逮捕的美国人所拥有的四种权利：保持沉默的权利；请律师的权利；不必做任何违背自己意愿的

陈述的权利；拒绝因同样的罪行而被审讯两次的权利。四个选项中只有C未被提

到，故答案为C。

64. C. 事实细节题。文章第三段提到，对于犯罪嫌疑人请不起律师的案件，州政府或市政府将请律师去接受此案件，故选C。

65. D. 事实细节和主旨题。文章最后一段提到，如果一个人被发现是无罪的，他就不能因同样的罪而再被逮捕，再被带到法庭，再被审讯。A, B和C三个选项都正确，选

项D是关于这篇文章的主旨，由文章第一段最后一句可知本文主要介绍了在美国

一个被逮捕的美国人所拥有的四种权利，而D选项中却说是三种权利，因此D选

项不正确，故选D。

Part V. Cloze

66. C. 固定搭配题。model与on或upon连用，意为“以??为榜样；仿效，模仿”，本句意为“孩子很大程度上是在模仿父母”，只有C项可与model构成固定搭配model oneself on/upon ...，其它三项都不能和model搭配，故选C。

67. B. 固定搭配题。identify与with 连用，意为“把??和??联系起来”，即孩子总把父

母和自己联系起来，这与第一句model themselves largely on their parents “模仿父

母”是一致的。其它三项都不能和identify搭配。

68. A. 语篇理解题。前一句The things parents do and say 是“父母的言行举止”，与第二个and后的短语构成并列主语，语义上也应该是并列的，并且从下文的behave也

可以看出这里是说“父母言行举止的方式”，所以应该选way “方式” 。其它三项B. method “方法”，C. expression “表情”和D. gesture“手势”都与上文语义不符。

69. D. 语篇理解题。从下文紧接的parents must consistently behave like ... 可以推断这里的空格应该是与下面的behave相照应的，故选D. behavior “行为”，即“父母的言

行举止强烈影响孩子的行为” 。其它三项A. words “言语”，B. mood “情绪，心情”

和C. reactions “反应”都不符合句意。

70. A. 语篇理解题。空格处需一副词，修饰谓语动词behave，本句想要表达“父母必须始

终如一地表现出想让他们的孩子成为的那种类型的人” 之意，故答案应是A. consistently “始终如一地”，而其它三项B. continually “频繁地，屡次地”，C. continuously

“连续不断地”和D. never“从不”都不符合句意。

Band Two 165

71. D. 语篇理解题。前面是说父母的言行会强烈地影响孩子的行为，而本句中，从also

一词可知，前后句间的逻辑关系是递进关系，故可推测这句应该是说“父母的言

行也影响孩子的自我形象”，选项中只有D. affect“影响”符合句意，其它三项A.

change “改变”，B. caus e “引起” 和C. weaken“削弱”都不合题意。

72. B. 语篇理解题。从句意来分析... identification是a child forms self-image “形成自我

形象” 的途径、手段，因此空格处的介词应和identification形成富有此意的搭

配。只有B. through有“通过”的意思，即“通过鉴别身份”，故答案为B，其它三项

都不合题意。

73. A. 固定搭配题。上一句说“父母影响孩子形成自我形象”，故能导致“那些从父母身

上看到优良品质的孩子以积极的方式来看待自己”，“以??方式” 是固定搭配，

应为“in ... way”，故答案为A。

74. C. 语篇理解题。有上句who see mainly positive qualities ... in a positive way, 及本句后

部分的have difficulty ... positive qualities可看出上下两句是语义相反的对比句，故

可推测出此处要选positive的反义词negative，故答案为C。

75. D. 固定搭配题。由于空格处是一名词短语，故此处需填动词或介词，由已知选项可

知应是动词；而空前又是have difficulty，故很容易想到have difficulty (in) doing

sth.这一固定短语，故选D。

76. A. 语篇题。由however可看出这句话的意思是对前面“子女的自我形象受到父母的

言行影响” 的转折，故空格处应是与“受影响” 语义相反的词。四个选项中只有A.

modify符合题意，其它三项都不合题意。

77. C. 语篇理解题。由题意可知，此空格处需一副词，修饰谓语influenced，由上下文可

推断出，该句想要表达“越来越多地受同龄人的影响” 之意。四个选项中只有C符

合题意，故选C. increasingly“越来越多地”。

78. C. 语篇题。本题应从下文中的有关内容找isolated events “孤立事件” 和dramatic ones “戏剧性事件” 之间的关系。而C项用来加强语气，意为“甚至”，说明dramatic

events是一个更深程度的事件。

79. D. 固定搭配题。上段A parent’s actions ... affect the self-image 和本句都是在解释家

长对孩子的影响这一观点，故两者在语义上应是连贯的，本句很明显是考查固定短

语，空上需一介词，该介词可与have effect ... 形成固定词组，故正确答案为D。

80. B. 语篇理解题。根据后一句... if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events ... a sign of rejection or punishment 可知，前后两句在意思上是相对立的，既然后句

讲“觉得自己不被父母所爱的孩子...”，那么前一句就应说“知道自己被父母所爱的孩子??”，故正确答案为B，其它三项都不合题意。

81. B. 语篇题。Children who know they are loved can accept ... 是对前句... according to

their established attitudes and previous training 的解释，很显然是举例说明，故选B。

82. A. 语篇题。根据对上下文的理解可知，本句与上句之间应是转折关系，故正确答案

为A.。

83. A. 固定搭配题。此空是考查和interpret搭配的介词，interpret ... as ... 这一固定搭配

意为“??理解为??”，故选A。

84. C. 语篇题。由第一句可判断此句是和上段内容相连的，即由于孩子固有的性情或早

期的培养经历不同，他们对于同一事件的反应也是不同的。故此处应选C. alike

“同样地”。

85. A. 固定搭配题。case常与介词in连用，构成固定短语in the case of ... “在??的情况下”，故正确答案为A。

Long Conversations

Conversation One

W: What are pubs?

M: Pubs in England are friendly and warm places where you can have a drink and

usually a simple meal.

W: What kind of drinks do people get?

M: You can get wine in most pubs. Many also serve coffee. You go to the counter to

order and pay for your drink.

W: When do people go to the pubs?

M: Pubs are not open all day. They can decide when to open. Most open for 3 or 4

hours at lunchtime and again from about 6:00pm-11:00pm. In busy areas, pubs

may stay open from 11:00am-11:00pm. Are there pubs in China?

W: Yes. Most of the goers are young people. They like to stay with their friends after

work and have a fun time.

M: It is against the law in England to go into a pub if you are under the age of 14. So,

many pubs provide a special room for children.

W: Doesn’t your wife work at a bank?

M: She did, but she was accepted this fall at Harvard so she’s taking some time off to

get a master’s d egree.

W: Good for her.

M: By the way, Lan, do you know of anyone who does cabinetwork? We’re looking for someone to build kitchen and bathroom cabinets…someone reasonable.

W: I’ve got a friend who’s a cabinetmaker. He’d be able to do a super job on your

apartment.

M: Oh, well, I’d really like to talk to him.

W: I’m not sure if he can do it right away though. I just happened to have lunch with

him today, and he told me the fellow he worked with was leaving town. But I’ll

give you his number, and you can give him a call yourself.

Section B Understanding Passages

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passages and the questions will be spoken only once. After you

hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C

and D. Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet 2.

Passage One

Strikes are very common in Britain. They are extremely harmful to its industry. In

fact, there are other countries in Western Europe that lose more working days through

strikes every year than Britain. The trouble with strikes in Britain is that they occur in

essential industries. There are 495 unions in Britain. Some unions are very small. Over

20 have more than 100 000 members. Unions do not exist only to demand higher

wages, they also educate their members. They provide benefits for the sick and have

tried to improve working conditions in the last hundred years. It is now against the law

for union members to go on strike without the support of their union. This kind of

strike is called an unofficial strike and these were common until recently. Employers feel

that unofficial strikers are the most harmful because they can not be predicted. However,

these still occur from time to time and some unions have also refused to cooperate

with the law. As a result, the general picture of the relations between workers and

employers in Britain has gone from bad to worse.

Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. How many unions are there that have less than 100 000 members in Britain?

27. In what way are strikes in Britain different from those in other European countries?

28. What can be inferred about British unions from the passage?

29. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?

Passage Two

Alfred Nobel, the great Swedish inventor and industrialist, was a man of many

contrasts. He was the son of bankrupt parents but became a millionaire, a scientist with

a love of literature, an industrialist who managed to remain an idealist. He made a

fortune but lived a simple life. A lover of mankind, he never had a wife or family to love

him; a patriotic son of his native land, he died alone on foreign soil. He invented a new

explosive dynamite to improve the peacetime industries of mining and road building, but

170 Model Test 2

saw it used as a weapon of war to kill and injure his fellow men. During his useful life he

often felt he was useless: “Alfred Nobel, ” he once wrote to himself, “ought to have been

put to death by a kind doctor as soon as, with a cry, he entered life.” World-famous for

his works, he was never personally well known, for throughout his life he avoided

publicity. “I do not see,” he once said, “I have deserved any fame and I have no taste for

it.” But since his death, his name has brought fame and glory to others.

Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.

30. Where was Alfred Nobel born?

31. Why was he not well-known in his lifetime?

32. Which of the following is TRUE?

Passage Three

Life on earth depends on the sun. Day after day we see its light and feel its

warmth, but we do not often consider its origin. Yet there are many remarkable things

about the sun. One is its distance from the earth. That is, about 93 million miles. A

journey of this distance, even if it could be made, would take several hundred years even

in the fastest rocket.

The sun makes us feel hot, even at a distance of 93 million miles. This is not

surprising. The temperature on the sun is about ten thousand degrees Fahrenheit. But

we receive only a small part of this heat. The total heat of the sun could melt a column

of ice two and a quarter miles thick and 93 million miles high in one second.

The brightness of the sun is equally astonishing. As we said earlier, we receive

only a very small part of the sun’s heat. We also receive only a very small part of its light.

This is sufficient for the growth of trees and plants, and for the existence of living

creatures on earth. Too much heat and light would destroy the balance of life. The heat

and light from the sun come in just the right quantities for life on earth.

Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

33. What is the size of the column of ice that the total heat of the sun could melt

in one second?

34. What is the temperature of the sun?

35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

Section C Compound Dictation

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact

words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 45 you are required to fill in

the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just

heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read

for the third time, you should check what you have written.

Band Two 171

The great ship, Titanic, sailed for New York from Southampton on April

10th, 1912. She was carrying 1 316 (36) passengers and a crew of (37) 891. Even

by modern standards, the 46 000 ton Titanic was a colossal (38) ship. At that time,

however, she was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, but was

(39) regarded as unsinkable, for she had sixteen watertight compartments. Even if

two of these were flooded, she would still be able to float. The (40) tragic sinking

of this great liner will always be remembered, for she went down on her first (41)

voyage with heavy loss of life.

Four days after (42) setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy

waters of the North Atlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted by a lookout.

After the alarm had been given, the great ship turned (43) sharply to avoid a

direct collision. The Titanic turned just in time, narrowly missing the immense

wall of ice which rose over 100 feet out of the water beside her. Suddenly, there

was a slight trembling sound from below, and the captain went down to see what

had happened. (44) The noise had been so faint that no one thought that the

ship had been damaged. Below, the captain realized to his horror that the Titanic

was sinking rapidly, for five of her sixteen watertight compartments had already

been flooded! (45) The order to abandon ship was given and hundreds of people

plunged into the icy water. As there were not enough lifeboats for everybody, 1

500 lives were lost.

Computer Games on Campus

Today, college students like playing computer games. Maybe playing computer games

can be beneficial to studen ts to some extent. It brings fun and trains one’s reactivity, determination, and attention.

However, too many college students are absorbed in playing computer games, which

brings some negative effects. First, it is very time-consuming to play computer games. The game fans have sacrificed almost all their time thus they have no time to attend class, to

take exercises, or even to date. Second, those who play computer games excessively would easily fall victim to various illnesses. For example, game fans always fix their eyes on the screen; therefore they are likely to be near-sighted.

In my opinion, as students we should devote ourselves to our study instead of spending

too much time playing computer games, so that we will not regret that they have wasted

the precious college time on nothing upon graduation.

W: Oh, yeah? What happened?

M: Well, when I got to the airport, I realized I didn’t have my passport. So I called

a friend. He broke into my house, got my passport and brought it to me. But I

missed that flight so I had to stay overnight in San Francisco.

W: Oh, that’s too bad.

M: Yeah. So I got the flight the next day. On the way we had engine trouble, so we had

to stop in Mexico City. I was stuck there for another 22 hours.

W: Oh, my gosh.

M: And I mean stuck. They wouldn’t even let us out of the airport.

W: You are kidding.

M: I’m telling you. Finally we get to Costa Rica two days late and…

Mr. Smith was a wealthy industrialist, but he was not satisfied with his life. He didn’

t sleep well and his food did not agree with him. This situation lasted for some time.

Finally, he decided to consult his doctor. The doctor advised a change of surroundings.

“Go abroad,” he said. “But I’m not good at foreign language,” said Mr. Smith. “It doesn’

t matter,” said the doctor, “Go on a voyage. Take plenty of exercise. Try to reduce your

weight. ”

Mr. Smith went to Switzerland. He did not know French or German, and had to

communicate through gestures. He attended a physical training course. To strengthen

his muscles, he had to lie on the ground and raise his right and left legs alternately. After

a time, he refreshed and forgot the troublesome problems of his factory. He even began

In the United States and in many other countries around the world, there are four

main ways for people to be informed about developments in the news: newspapers, magazines, radio and television news broadcasts. A person may use one, or all, of these

sources for information. Each source is useful in its own way.

Newspapers and magazines can give much information about a particular event.

They may provide some history of the event, the reason for it being told, some of its

effects, or perhaps give an opinion or point of view on a particular development. Radio

and television can help a person to be well-informed about what is happening each day.

It is also possible to listen to radio or watch TV and do something else at the same time.

Many people can listen to the news on their car radio while driving somewhere.

In the local newspaper of my community recently there was a story about a man

named Virgle Spears. He lived in a small town about 40 miles from my home. He had

served five years in a New York prison for robbing a restaurant. When he returned to

his family, Mr. Spears couldn’t find a job. Everyone knew he had been in pr ison and

nobody trusted him. Finally in desperation, he calmly walked into a local barbershop

where he was well-known, pulled out a gun and took all the money the barber had. Up

to this point it had been a fairly routine crime. But then something unusual happened.

Mr. Spears didn’t try to get away. He got into his car, drove slowly out of his town and

waited for the police. When they called him, he made only one request. He turned to

the arresting policemen and said, “Would you please ask the court to put m y family on

welfare just as soon as possible?”

This has not always been true. In the (41) ancient Olympics the winner got only

a wreath of olive leaves (橄榄叶花环). Even though the winners became (42) national

heroes, the games (43) remained amateur for centuries. Athletes won fame, not money.

As time passed, however, (44) the contests became increasingly less amateur and cities

began to hire athletes to represent them. By the fourth century A.D., (45) the Olympics

were ruined, and were ended soon after that. In 1896, the Olympic games were revived

paid their athletes to train year-round. (46) Now Olympic athletes are eager to sell their

names to companies that make everything from ski equipment to fast food. Even the

games themselves have become a huge business. Countries fight to hold the Olympics

not only for honor, but also for money.

Is Frustration a Bad Thing?

Frustration, according to The New Oxford Dictionary of English , means the feeling

of being upset or annoyed, especially because of inability to change or achieve something.

It seems to prompt a negative effect, so some people may regard it a bad thing. They think

that frequent frustration may give rise to serious mental diseases. People who suffer from

such mental illness would have a tendency to do some violence or commit crimes. That

would be a big threat to people’s life. Hence, they regard frustration a bad thing.

But, just like a coin has two sides, others do n’t think it is a bad thing. They believe

that it is very beneficial to people. It always accompanies success. It can make people have press and motivation to deal with all kinds of difficulties and reach their final success. To some extent, people with this thought even hold the view that there is no success without frustration.

In my opinion, frustration itself can not be regarded as good or bad. What matters a

lot is people’s attitude toward it. Undoubtedly, frustration is everywhere in our life. If we

are slaves to it, we are easy to be pessimistic about everything and our life would be in a mess. But if we overcome it and take it as our valuable source of life experience, we may finally enjoy the happiness of success.

46. N. 本题考查习惯用法。从语法角度分析，此处所填的词应为名词；再从语义角度来看，in return为习语，意为“作为回报，作为报答”，所以N符合。

47. E. 本题考查名词辨析；再结合语义，其它名词均不符合题意。选项E已在上文中提及，即他们期望从朋友那儿得到什么，符合上下文题意，故正确。

48. I. 本题考查动词辨析。此处所填的词应为动词，且本句上下文提到了友谊看来是人

类结合关系的一种独一无二的形式，紧接着讲，友谊不像婚姻或父母与孩子们之

间的纽带关系，它不是由法律来界定和调节的，根据上下文照应关系原则，应选

bind，其意为“捆绑、联结”，符合题意。

49. D. 本题考查搭配关系。play roles（扮演角色）为习惯搭配，故D正确。

50. O. 本题考查动词的词义辨析。promote 意思是“推动，推进”，根据语意只有O符合，故选O。

51. G. 本题考查名词辨析。of 介词后为一杂志出版物名称，issue 用作名词时有“报刊、杂志某一期”之义，符合该上下文题意，故G为正确答案。

52. B. 本题考查动词的词义辨析。confirm意思是“证实”，符合题意。

53. F. 本题考查形容词辨析。profitable 意思为“取得利润的”；neutral意思为“中立的”；central意思为“中心的，关键的”。本句句意为：调查研究结果证明信任和背叛对

友谊很关键，显然F符合题意，be central to意为“对??关键”，故选F。

54. J. 本题考查比较级。本句句意为：调查结果也表明，读者不仅在志趣相投的人中找

朋友，也在种族、宗教背景不同的人中找朋友。根据题意，这里应选J。

55. C. 本题考查上下文逻辑关系。根据上下文，此处应为转折关系。只有C符合句意。Section B

Passage One

本文主要描述了Laura因丈夫吸毒而经常被殴打，最终在一些保护妇女组织的帮助下

离开家而重新生活的故事。

56. A. 此题考查细节定位、推理。根据文章第一段第三句she was afraid to ask her husband to leave, 可推断出A为答案。

57. C. 此题考查上下文逻辑分析。根据第三段推断出答案应为C。

58. A. 此题考查总体分析能力。因为她丈夫经常打她，所以答案应为A。

59. D. 此题考查信息正误判断。从短文最后一段可知，D项为错误的。其它三项与文章

是相符合的。

60. D. 此题考查主题思想判断。综合分析可得出D为答案。

Passage Two

本文是一则新闻，主要描述了一场空难的发生。

182 Model Test 4

61. D. 此题考查细节定位、词句理解。从文章第一段第一句及最后一句可得D最为接近。

62. C. 此题考查细节定位。由第一段第二句可得出C为答案。

63. D. 此题考查细节定位。由第一段when the engines suddenly cut out and all contact

was lost…，其中cut out（终止、停机）与D中的broke down意思相近。

64. C. 此题考查细节定位、推理。A未提到，B，D不是直接原因。

65. A. 此题考查细节定位、推理。从逻辑上可排除B、C、D；文章第三段和第四段均有

相关提示，可确认A 的正确性。

Section A Understanding Conversations

Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will

be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and

decide which is the best answer. Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet 2. Short Conversations

11. M: The 5:35 train is more expensive but faster.

W: To save 5 dollars, I’ll wait 20 minutes for the 5:55.

Q: Why does the woman want to wait for the 5:55 train?

12. W: Is this prescription really workable?

M: I’m afraid so, Miss Jones. You’ll see some results soon.

Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?

13. W: Who is your new secretary, John?

M: Miss Brow n. I’m very pleased with the work she’s been doing so far.

Q: What do we know about John’s secretary?

14. M: Oh dear, there’s something wrong with our TV set. Shall I ask Tom to take it?

W: Well, I’d suggest you take it over to the repair store to have a c heck.

Q: What does the woman suggest?

15. M: I’m going to fix these parts. But I don’t understand the instructions.

They’re in English.

W: Don’t worry. I’ll write them down in Chinese for you.

Q: What does the woman offer to do?

16. W: Do you mind my closing the window?

M: As a matter of fact, I’m feeling a bit hot.

Q: What does the man want the woman to do?

17. M: Mary told me you didn’t buy that coat. Was it too expensive?

W: No, not very expensive. They didn’t have my size.

Q: Why didn’t the woman buy th e coat?

18. M: I’m sorry that you didn’t place an order with us. The quality of our products are guaranteed.

184 Model Test 4

W: Well, I’d like to if you could reduce the price by 5%.

Q: Why doesn’t the woman place an order?

Long Conversations

Conversation One

M: Frankly, Sandra, I’m not very pleased with you. I don’t know —it’s something

about the way you approach your work, your attitude to it, that worries me.

W: Oh really? How do you mean?

M: Well, you don’t seem to respond to me very well. In fact I find that you’re not easy

to work with. Yes, really Sandra, I find you rather difficult.

W: I’m sorry you think that way.

M: The point is —and I think I should be truthful with you, I can’t honestly recommend somebody for promotion who doesn’t take an acti ve interest in their work.

You can see that, can’t you?

W: Er... yes, I can and I’m sorry. I thought I was doing my best.

M: Maybe, but you don’t seem to enjoy your work. I mean, are you happy at LTV? Perhaps you need a change. Have you ever thought about working somewhere

else? You know, a different sort of job.

W: Well, no. It’s not that. I like it here. I like working for LTV. I think television is exciting. It’s just that my job, what I do, seems so boring, so repetitive. I don’t feel as

if I’m getting anywhere.

M: I see. Yes, I think I understand how you feel. I’m glad you told me. But you’ve got

to realize, Sandra, that we can’t all do exciting work all the time.

W: Yes, I know that.

M: Look, this is what I think we’d better do. Bill Fletcher who deals with audience reaction and research wants someone to help him on door-to-door interviews and so

on. We might be able to fit you in somewhere there. What do you think about that? Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

19. Wha t makes the man worry about Sandra’s work?

20. How can you describe the man talking to Sandra?

21. What job does the man recommend Sandra do?

22. What’s the relationship between the two speakers?

Conversation Two

W: Why don’t we go abroad for a change? Where I’d like to go is France, Spain, or

Italy even.

M: Mm. I’m not all that keen really. I’d rather stay at home.

W: Oh, come on, Steve. Think of the sun!

M: Yes, but think of the cost! Going abroad is very expensive.

W: Oh, it isn’t, Steve. Not these days.

M: Of course it is, Juliet. The best thing about having a holiday here in Britain is that

it’s cheaper. And another thing, the traveling would be easier. No boats, planes or

anything.

Band Two 185

W: Even so, we’ve been to most of the interesting places in Britain already. What’s the

point in seeing them again? Anyway, we can travel round Britain whenever we like.

There’s no point in wasting our summer holiday here.

M: Mm, I suppose you’re right. Nevertheless, what I can’t stand is all the bother with

foreign currency, changing money and all that when we go abroad. I hate all that.

And it’s so confusing.

W: Oh, don’t be silly, Steve.

M: And what’s more, I can’t speak any of the languages —you know that. It’s all right

for you. You can speak foreign languages.

W: Exactly. You see, what I’d really like to do is practice my French and Spanish. It

would help me a lot at work.

M: Mm, but that’s no use to me.

W: But just think of the new places we’d see, the people we’d meet!

M: But look, if we stayed here, we wo uldn’t have to plan very much.

W: I’m sorry, Steve. No. I just don’t fancy another cold English summer.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

23. What are the two speakers planning for?

24. Which of the following is NOT the reason that the man doesn’t want to travel

abroad?

25. What language would the woman like to practice?

Section B Understanding Passages

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passages and the questions will be spoken only once. After you

hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C,

and D. Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet 2.

Passage One

Probably every town in the United States has a post office. Some are very small,

and you may also find them in the corner of a shop. Others are large buildings. They are

open five days a week and Saturday morning. From Monday to Friday they are usually

open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

If you know how much the postage is for your letter, you can buy stamps at any

window. In some post offices you can buy stamps from machines. Stamps are sold at

many different prices, from one cent to many dollars. If you are not sure how much

postage is needed for your letter, you can ask the clerk. He or she will give you the

stamps you need.

At a post office you can also buy postcards. A postcard is cheaper than a letter.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. Where can you find a post office in the United States?

27. When are post offices usually open?

186 Model Test 4

28. Why do people want to use postcards?

Passage Two

Computers are causing a new revolution on university campuses today. At this

moment, students throughout North America are editing term papers on computers.

They are calculating statistics. They are writing reports. They are designing new

products — all on personal computers.

Today’s computer revolution is a major force on campus. In fact, students who
