Passage 2

Americans this year will swallow 15, 000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. As the most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap.

Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, aspirin tablets(片剂) were available in the United States.

For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works.

A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.

6. This article discusses __________.

A. the multiple functions of aspirin

B. how and why aspirin was invented

C. the history and the features of aspirin

D. how to take aspirin properly

7. According to the second paragraph, salicylates is __________.

Passage 3

Packaging is a very important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate people to buy products. For example, a little child might ask for a breakfast food contained in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy products - or to ask their parents to buy for them.

Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.

The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size” or “Family Size” printed on it. This suggests that the larger size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find it out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.

The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.

11.“A buyer will get something for nothing” in paragraph 2 may tell us the following except _______.

A. a buyer will not get what he pays for

B. a buyer will get more than what he pays for

C. a buyer will get something useful free of charge

D. a buyer will get more but pay less

12. From the passage we know the buyer pays more attention to ________.

A. the size of a container

B. a container with attractive picture

C. a well-designed container

D. a plain container with low cost

13. What suggestion does the writer give in the passage?

A. It's not good to buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish.

B. The quality of a container has nothing to do with the quality of the product.

C. The best choice for a buyer is to buy a product in a plain package.

D. A buyer should buy what he needs most rather than a well-designed package.

7 / 18

《大学英语(四)》期末复习题

14. Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage?

A. In fact glasses or dishes used for packaging do not cost money at all.

B. “Family Size” printed on the package means that it is rather economic.

C. To a child, even to an adult, the form is far more important than the content.

D. Words and pictures written on the package are thought to be an advertisement.

15. What do you think is the best title for the passage?

A. Packaging Makes a Product.

B. Packaging Makes an Advertisement.

C. How to sell Product.

D. How to Attract More Buyers.

Passage 4

In Lusaka, Zambia, a young man applying for a job was told to see the manager. He leaned over the receptionist’s desk and asked. “What tribe(部落) is he?”When the receptionist told him that the manager was a Mashona, the applicant replied, “Then I'll never get the job.”

This phenomenon is called tribalism(部落主义). There are more than 2,000 tribes in black Africa. Each has its own language, customs, and physical characteristics that make its members almost immediately recognizable to a person from another tribe. To the Westerner, tribalism is one of the most difficult of African customs to understand. It makes many people think of savagery, warfare, or old-fashioned customs.

However, to most Africans, tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group. It is a force that can be both good and bad. By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group tribesman. To give a job to a fellow is not wrong; it is an obligation. Similarly, for a politician or military leader, it is considered good common sense to choose his closest advisers from people of his own tribe. This ensures security, continuity, and authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion—from sergeant to captain, from clerk to manager—within a very short time.

8 / 18

《大学英语(四)》期末复习题

Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions. Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.

16. In paragraph 1, why did the young man believe his job application will be refused?

A. His behavior was not appropriate.

B. He belonged to the same tribe with the manager.

C. He didn’t belong to the same tribe with the manager.

D. His questions annoyed the receptionist.

17. The situation in the first paragraph is an example of_______.

A. the difficulty of getting a job in Africa

B. the disagreement on tribalism among Africans

C. the great numbers of tribes in Africa

D. the importance of tribalism in Africa

18. What might be the common attitudes of Westerners towards tribalism?

A. positive

B. indifferent

C. negative

D. none of the above

19. According to the article, which of the following is NOT an evidence of tribalism?

A. Sergeants maintain security in his own tribe.

B. Politicians choose men from his own tribe as intimate advisers.

C. Military leaders promote fellow tribesmen to higher positions.

D. Managers give jobs to fellow tribesmen.

20. What would be the future of tribalism?

A. It will soon be destroyed by modern politicians.

B. It will remain as strong as it is today and never be changed.

C. It will gradually disappear as the society develops.

D. It will speed up further division of tribes.

The benefits of household chores on child

Many parents may see children as less capable, preferring to finish the housework as quickly and efficiently as possible. Personally, I don not agree with the viewpoint since they overlook the many positive benefits of giving kids chores.

Firstly, chores help kids learn responsibility and self-reliance. Assigning children regular chores helps teach them responsibility. Tasks that personally affect your kids, such as cleaning their room or doing their own laundry, can help them become more self-reliant

16 / 18

《大学英语(四)》期末复习题

at the same time. Your kids or grandkids may also take pride in being considered mature enough to take care of themselves.

Secondly, chores help improve planning and time management skills. It feels like there are a million things to do in the day, and fitting it all into our diaries is a challenge! Chores can help older kids and teens build good habits early. Juggling schoolwork deadlines, housework and their social lives helps them learn to set priorities and manage their time, important skills for the working world.

Lastly, chores give families a chance to bond. People often lament that chores take up time they could be spending with their kids or grandkids. But chores can actually create special moments between children and adults. Little ones who always want to help will feel important and receive a self-esteem boost, and moody teens may decide to open up over a shared task.
