In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on your answer sheet.

TEXT A

If you like the idea of staying with a family, living in house might be the answer. Good

landladies---those who are superb cooks and launderers, are figures as popular in fiction as the bad ones who terrorize their guest and overcharge them at the slightest opportunity. The truth is probably somewhere between the two extremes. If you are lucky, the food will be adequate, some of your laundry may be done for you and you will have a reasonable amount of comfort and companionship .For the less fortune ,house rules may restrict the freedom to invite friends to visit,

版权归教育部所有，仅供学习和研究之用。任何利用本文所做的赢利性活动都将受到法律追究

and shared cooking and bathroom facilities can be frustrating and row-provoking if tidy and untidy guest are living under the same roof.

The same disadvantages can apply to flat sharing, with the added difficulties that arise from deciding who pays for what, and in what proportion. One person may spend hours on the phone, while another rarely makes calls. If you want privacy with guest , how do you persuade the others to go out; how do you persuade them to leave you in peace, especially if you are student and want to study?

Conversely, flat sharing can be very cheap, there will always be someone to talk to and go out with, and the chores, in theory, can be shared.

81. According to the passage, landladies are ________ A. usually strict. B. always mean. C. adequately competent. D. very popular with their guest. 82. What is the additional disadvantage of flat sharing ? A. Problems of sharing and paying. B. Differences in living habits. C. Shared cooking and bathroom facilities. D. Restriction to invite friends to visit. 83. What is NOT mentioned as a benefit of flat sharing? A. Rent is affordable B. There is companionship. C. Housework. D. There is peace and quiet.

TEXT B

(1) Traveling through the country a couple of weeks ago on business, I was listening to the talk of the late UK writer Douglas Adams’ master work “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” on the radio and thought-I know, I’ll pick up the next hitchhikers I see and ask them what the state of real hitching is today in Britain.

(2)I drove and drove on main roads and side roads for the next few days and never saw a single one.

(3)When I was in my teens and 20s, hitchhiking was a main form of long-distance transport. The kindness or curiosity of strangers took me all over Europe, North America, Asia and southern Africa, Some of the lift-givers became friends, many provided hospitality on the road.

(4)Not only did you find out much more about a country than when traveling by train or plane, but there was that elements of excitement about where you would finish up that night.

Hitchhiking featured importantly in Western culture. It has books and songs about it .So what has happened to it?

(5)A few years ago, I was asked the same question about hitching in a column of a newspaper. Hundreds of people from all over the world responded with their view on the state of hitchhiking.

(6)Rural Ireland was recommended as f friendly place for hitching, as was Quebec, Canada-“if you don’t mind being criticized for not speaking French”.

(7)But while hitchhiking was clearly still alive and well in some places, the general feeling

版权归教育部所有，仅供学习和研究之用。任何利用本文所做的赢利性活动都将受到法律追究

was that throughout much of the west it was doomed.

(8)With so much news about crime in the media, people assumed that anyone on the open road without the money for even a bus ticket must present a danger. But do we need to be so wary both to hitch and to give a lift?

(9)In Poland in the 1960s,according to a Polish woman who e-mail me ,＂the authorities introduced the Hitchhiker’s Booklet. The booklet contained coupons for drivers, so each time a driver picked somebody; he or she received a coupon. At the end of the season, drivers who had picked up the most hikers were rewarded with various prizes. Everyone was hitchhiking then”. (10)Surely this is a good idea for society. Hitchhiking would increase respect by breaking down barriers between strangers. It would help fight global warming by cutting down on fuel consumption as hitchhikers would be using existing fuels. It would also improve educational standards by delivering instant lessons in geography, history, politics and sociology.

(11)A century before Douglas Adams wrote his “Hitchhiker’s Guide”, another adventure story writer, Robert Louis Stevenson, gave us that what should be the hitchhiker’s motto:＂To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.” What better time than putting a holiday weekend into practice. Either put it to the test yourself, or help out someone who is trying to travel hopefully with thumb outstretched.

84. In which paragraph(s) does the writer comment on his experience of hitchhiking? A. (3) B. (4) C. (3) and (4) D. (4) and (5) 85. What is the current situation of hitchhiking? A. It is popular in some parts of the world. B. It is popular throughout the west. C. It is popular in Poland.

86. What is the writer’s attitude towards the practice in Poland? A. Critical. B. Unclear. C. Somewhat favorable. D. Strongly favorable. 87. The writer has mentioned all the following benefits of hitchhiking EXCEPT A. promoting mutual respect between strangers. B. increasing one’s confidence in strangers. C. protecting environment. D. enrich one’s knowledge. 88.＂Either put it to the test yourself…”in Paragraph (11) means A. to experience the hopefulness. B. to read Adams’ book. C. to offer someone a lift. D. to be a hitchhiker.

TEXT C

I am afraid to sleep. I have been afraid to sleep for the last few weeks. I am so tired that, finally, I do sleep, but only for a few minutes. It is not a bad dream that wakes me ; it is the reality I took with me into sleep . I try to think of something else.

Immediately the woman in the marketplace comes into my mind.

I was on my way to dinner last night when I saw her . She was selling skirts. She moved

版权归教育部所有，仅供学习和研究之用。任何利用本文所做的赢利性活动都将受到法律追究

with the same ease and loveliness I often saw in the women of Laos. Her long black hair was as shiny as the black silk of the skirts she was selling. In her hair, she wore three silk ribbons, blue, green, and white. They reminded me of my childhood and how my girlfriends and I used to spend hours braiding ribbons into our hair.

I don’t know the word for “ribbons”, so I put my hand to my own hair and , with three fingers against my head , I looked at her ribbons and said “Beautiful.” She lowered her eyes and said nothing. I wasn’t sure if she understood me (I don’t speak Laotian very well).

I looked back down at the skirts. They had designs in them: squares and triangles and circles of pink and green silk. They were very pretty. I decided to buy one of those skirts, and I began to bargain with her over the price. It is the custom to bargain in Asia. In Laos bargaining is done in soft voices and easy moves with the sort of quiet peacefulness.

She smiled, more with her eyes than with her lips. She was pleased by the few words I was able to say in her language, although they were mostly numbers, and she saw that I understood something about the soft playfulness of bargaining. We shook our heads in disagreement over the price; then, immediately, we made another offer and then another shake of the head. She was so pleased that unexpectedly, she accepted the last offer I made. But it was too soon. The price was too low. She was being too generous and wouldn’t make enough money. I moved quickly and picked up two more skirts and paid for all three at the price set; that way I was able to pay her three times as much before she had a chance to lower the price for the larger purchase. She smiled openly then, and, for the first time in months, my spirit lifted. I almost felt happy.

The feeling stayed with me while she wrapped the skirts in a newspaper and handed them to me. When I left, though, the feeling left, too. It was as though it stayed behind in marketplace. I left tears in my throat. I wanted to cry. I didn’t, of course.

I have learned to defend myself against what is hard; without knowing it, I have also learned to defend myself against what is soft and what should be easy.

I get up, light a candle and want to look at the skirts. They are still in the newspaper that the woman wrapped them in. I remove the paper, and raise the skirts up to look at them again before I pack them. Something falls to floor. I reach down and feel something cool in my hand. I move close to the candlelight to see what I have. There are five long silk ribbons in my hand, all different colors. The woman in the marketplace! She has given these ribbons to me!

There is no defense against a generous spirit, and this time I cry, and very hard, as if I could make up for all the months that I didn’t cry. 90. Which of the following in NOT correct? A. The writer was not used to bargaining.

B. People in Asia always bargain when buying things. C. Bargaining in Laos was quiet and peaceful.

D. The writer was ready to bargain with the woman.

91. The writer assumed that the woman accepted the last offer mainly because woman

版权归教育部所有，仅供学习和研究之用。任何利用本文所做的赢利性活动都将受到法律追究

A. thought that the last offer was reasonable. B. thought she could still make much money.

C. was glad that the writer knew their way of bargaining. D. was tired of bargaining with the writer any more. 92. Why did the writer finally decide to buy three skirts? A. The skirts were cheap and pretty. B. She liked the patterns on the skirts.

C. She wanted to do something as compensation.

D. She was fed up with further bargaining with the woman.

93. When did the writer left the marketplace, she wanted to cry, but did not because A. she had learned to stay cool and unfeeling. B. she was afraid of crying in public.

C. she had learned to face difficulties bravely. D. she had to show in public that she was strong.

94. Why did the writer cry eventually when she looked at the skirts again? A. she suddenly felt very sad. B. she liked the ribbons so much. C. she was overcome by emotion. D. she felt sorry for the woman.

TEXT D

The kids are hanging out. I pass small bands of students, in my way to work these mornings. They have become a familiar part of the summer landscape.

These kids are not old enough for jobs. Nor are they rich enough for camp. They are school children without school. The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago. Once supervised by teachers and principals, they now appear to be “self care”.

Passing them is like passing through a time zone. For much of our history, after all, Americans arranged the school year around the needs of work and family. In 19th-century cities, schools were open seven or eight hours a day, 11 months a year. In rural America, the year was arranged around the growing season. Now, only 3 percent of families follow the agricultural model, but nearly all schools are scheduled as if our children went home early to milk the cows and took months off to work the crops. Now, three-quarters of the mothers of school-age children work, but the calendar is written as if they were home waiting for the school bus.

The six-hour day, the 180-day school year is regarded as something holy. But when parents work an eight-hour day and a 240-day year, it means something different. It means that many kids go home to empty houses. It means that, in the summer, they hang out.

“We have a huge mismatch between the school calendar and realities of family life,” says Dr. Ernest Boyer, head of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.

Dr. Boyer is one of many who believe that a radical revision of the school calendar is inevitable.＂School, whether we like it or not, is educational. It always has been.”

His is not popular idea. Schools are routinely burdened with the job of solving all our social

版权归教育部所有，仅供学习和研究之用。任何利用本文所做的赢利性活动都将受到法律追究

problems. Can they be asked to meet the needs of our work and family lives?

It may be easier to promote a linger school year on its educational merits and, indeed, the educational case is compelling. Despite the complaints and studies about our kids’ lack of learning, the United State still has a shorter school year than any industrial nation. In most of Europe, the school year is 220 days. In Japan, it is 240 days long. While classroom time alone doesn’t produce a well-educated child, learning takes time and more learning takes more time. The long summers of forgetting take a toll.

The opposition to a longer school year comes from families that want to and can provide other experiences for their children. It comes from teachers. It comes from tradition. And surely from kids. But the most important part of the conflict has been over the money. 95. Which of the following is an opinion of the author? A.＂The kids are hanging out.”

B.＂They are school children without school.” C.＂These kids are not old enough for jobs.”

D. “The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago.”

96. The current American school calendar was developed in the 19th century according to A. the growing season on nation’s form. B. the labour demands of the industrial age. C. teachers’ demands for more vacation time.

D. parents’ demands for other experiences for their kids. 97. The author thinks that the current school calendar A. is still valid. B. is out of date. C. can not be revised. D. can not be defended. 98. Why was Dr. Boy’s idea unpopular?

A. He argues for the role of school in solving social problems. B. He supports the current school calendar.

C. He thinks that school year and family life should be considered separately. D. He strongly believes in the educational role of school.

99.“The long summers of forgetting take a toll ”in the last paragraph but one means that A. long summer vacation slows down the progress go learning. B. long summer vacation has been abandoned in Europe. C. long summers result in less learning time. D. long summers are a result of tradition. 100. The main purpose of the passage is

A. to describe how American children spend their summer. B. to explain the needs of the modern working families. C. to discuss the problems of the current school calendar. D. to persuade parents to stay at home to look after their kids.

I know a lot of you have bikes. First, when you get your bike, whether it’s new or second hand, bring it as soon as possible to us. There will be able to stamp it with a serial number. We actually stamp it into the metal. We’ll register the number, put it on our list. This can frighten criminals away if they realize there is a number stamped on it.

Second, make sure you buy a good lock. It can be expensive. But it’s never a waste of

money. If you have an expensive bike, it’s worth buying two locks. Do spend money on the good lock, because the cheap ones can be very very easy to cut. Also, make sure you lock the bike to something permanent, though do be considerate to pedestrians. And if the worst happens—you lose your bike.

成时. 句意: 如果那个病人不使用抗生素而是采用其他疗法,他现在可能还活着呢.

料,只能是对未发生的进行预料,所以只能选一般将来时. 句意:委员会已经预料到那些问题将在道路建设方案中提起.

59. 正确答案为 A). 发现难以理解这个动作先于”说”之前发生,故用过去完成时.

60. 正确答案为C). had就是have的过去式了,没有had had to的说法. 且but后面的句子是

单纯叙述过去发生的事情,用一般过去式.

61. 正确答案为B). than后面是省略了it,还原应该是..than it has been put in. than作为专四语法的重点,考试中出现很多次了.常见的考法有如下两种:

• 连词 than 引导比较状语从句，有时省去部分谓语，保留了主语和助动词，此时助动词

可以移到主语前。如：John drives much more carefully than does his father. (=than his father drives)

• 连词 than 引导比较状语从句，常省去主语，保留谓语部分，这种结构多见于正式文体

中。如：Don’t eat more than is good for you.

62. 正确答案为B). 本题是该年专四考试中语法较难的一题. not more…than的意思是与其

说…倒不如说…这里意思是: 人口过多对人类的威胁还不如对环境的破坏更为严重。A选项的意思是: 人口过多跟环境破坏一样对人类构不成什么威胁。通过这道题,试比较如下两句句子:John is not better than Tom约翰不如汤姆好。 (但是两人都不错) John is no better than Tom约翰比汤姆好不了多少。 (两个人都不怎么样)

63. 正确答案为 D).专四考试中两个常见there用法: for there to be, of there being. (即:有介词

for一律用to be,其他介词用there being)

71. 正确答案为A). becomes常见的意思是变为,成为, 殊不知,它还有另外一个少见的意思:

适合(某人),与…相称.<牛津高阶词典—第六版>就有这么一句话:Such behavior did not become her.这种举止与她的身份不相称. fit:适合于,合适(大小,尺寸,形状). 这道题目如果能正确排除BCD也就不难选出A了.

72. 正确答案为B). incidentally顺便说一句,Accidentally意想不到地. Eventually最终地,

naturally自然地句意: 我现在不得不走了. 顺便说一句,如果你要那本书的话下次我会带来的.

73. 正确答案为D). get round to doing sth腾出时间来做某事,开始做某事. get away with sth侥

的,普遍的”的意思,并非说好房东和坏房东都受欢迎. C选项虽未明确给出,但第四句中提到the food will be adequate, some of your laundry may be done之后又提到less fortunate的时候,知识提到房东给房客设置一些规定. 由此得知,房东应该是可以胜任的.

82. 正确答案为A). 从第二段deciding who pays for what, and in what proportion这里和后面的例子可以看出问题是源于分担和付费上. B选项的living habits文章中没有说到, C和D选项都只是例子中的某个细节.

83. 正确答案为D). 最后一段中ABC三者作为flat sharing的优点都有提及,唯独D没有提及,并且这也是一个跨段选项,出现在第二段最后,作为学生需要安静来学习,所以排除. TEXT B

84. 正确答案为C).问题问的是作者的评价，第三段和第四段中都有出现评价性的形容词，如：The kindness or curiosity of strangers，hospitality，that element of excitement；第5段只是提到了一些事实，无评价性的形容词。

85. 正确答案为A)。根据第7段 “But while hitchhiking was…it was doomed.” （虽然搭便车在一些地方仍然存在和普遍，但基本上人们感觉在西方大部分地方这种现象却不复存在了。）B选项与原文矛盾, C选项过于绝对, D选项不符文章内容,是推测.

86. 正确答案为 D)。第10段， “Surely this is a good idea for society.” （显然这对社会来说是一个不错的主意。）之后就叙述了它的好处.

87. 正确答案为 B). 根据第10段。 “Hitchhiking would increase respect…politics and sociology.” (搭便车可以打破陌生人之间的障碍；因为搭便车的人使用的是正在使用的燃料，它可以通过减少燃料消耗而帮助解决全球变暖的问题；它还可以通过地理、历史、政治和社会学的快速课程提高教育水平。) ACD选项都是正面提到了,而B选项与breaking down barriers between strangers有失偏颇.

88. 正确答案为 D)。根据最后一句话： “Either put it to the test yourself, or help out someone who is trying to travel hopefully with thumb outstretched.”（你可以自己尝试，也可以帮助那些想去旅行而满怀希望伸出大拇指的人。）

TEXT C

. 正确答案为 B)。根据第3段对她的细节描写。 “She moved with the same ease and loveliness …I used to spend hours braiding ribbons into our hair.” 由此可见，作者对她的印象是愉快的。

90. 正确答案为A)。第5段 “It is the custom to bargain in Asia. In Laos bargaining is done in soft voices and easy moves with the sort of quiet peacefulness.” （在亚洲，人们有讨价还价的习俗。在老挝，人们讨价还价时总是轻言细语），由此可知，B、C、D是正确的。

91. 正确答案为C). 从第六段she saw that I understood something about the soft playfulness of bargaining中可以得知woman看出我懂她们那里的交易方式. 也就从侧面说明卖裙子的妇女享受这样的讨价还价过程. 其他选项则明显错误. A选项文章没有提及, B选项明显与作者表述有悖: She was being too generous and wouldn’t make enough money. D选项也未涉及.

92. 正确答案为C). 第6段: that way I was able to pay her three times as much before she had a chance to lower the price for the larger purchase.”由此可知，作者因为价格很低，所以想多买几件作为对卖裙子的妇女的一种补偿。

93. 正确答案为A)。第8段：“I have learned to defend myself against what is hard; without knowing it, I have also learned to defend myself against what is soft and what should be easy.”（我学会了抗拒困难，不知不觉中，我也学会了不被温柔和轻松俘获。）由此可知，作者没有哭是因为她已经学会控制自己的情绪不会轻易受到影响，所以选A。C选项的干扰性较强,虽然表述正确,但是由于作者提到市场中的经历是温柔和轻松的感受,而非困难,故排除. 注意

题干中的did not because省略的是cry, 完整的题干应该是she wanted to cry, but did not cry because…不少同学对题干意思的产生误解.以至于错选B或D.

94. 正确答案为C). 最后一段：“There is no defense against a generous spirit, and this time I cry…”（对于一颗慷慨的心是无法防备的，所以这次我哭了，…）由此可知我哭是因为被卖丝绸裙子的妇女感动了。 TEXT D

95. 正确答案为A). The kids are hanging out. 作者的观点是现在的孩子上学的时间太短，很多时间都在外闲逛，无所事事。这里的hang out是指在某地逗留，浪费时间。B、C、D是客观事实陈述，并不是作者观点。

96. 正确答案为 A). 第三段提到：“In rural America…took months off to work the crops. (19世纪的时候，上学时间是根据农时来决定的。现在虽然只有3%的家庭从事农业，但几乎所有的学校的校历安排似乎是让孩子们早早回家去挤牛奶或是花上几个月时间去地里种庄稼.) BC选项未提及, D选项是末段提到的家长反对延长学年的理由,跨段选项排除.

97. 正确答案为B). 从第三段末尾的几个句子中,可以看到作者是认为这school calendar是不合时宜的了, Now, only 3 percent of families…waiting for the school bus.

98. 正确答案为D)。从第六段最后一句话可以得出答案D. A和B明显与文章不符。A指的是大众的观点；B选项Dr. Boy是不赞同现有的校历的。C选项与文章相反.

99. 正确答案为C). learning takes time more learning takes more time, the long summer's forgetting take a toll.” take a toll意思是造成损失或有不良的影响。这句话意思是：“学习要时间,更多学习要更多时间,而长时间的暑假会影响(它),会对(它)造成不好影响—即学习时间的减少.

100. 正确答案为C)。整篇文章讨论的是现有的校历安排存在的问题。文章只在前两段描述了孩子们在街头游荡的现象,所以排除A. 第三段简要介绍了现在家庭的需要,是文章的细节内容,故排除. D选项文章没有提到. PART IV WRITING

SECTION A COMPOSITION 参考范文

Is It Wise to Make Friends Online?

Internet, as one of the most important inventions of the twentieth century, has greatly changed our life. Nowadays, more and more young people have many friends online, which, as far as I am concerned, has more benefits than negative efforts.

Firstly, Internet enlarges our circle of friends considerably. No other ways of communication enable us to makes friends all around the world as easily as Internet does. As long as we can speak English or other foreign languages, we are able to chat with Americans, Japanese as well as European people, and therefore, to broaden our views by exposing ourselves to various cultures and experiences. Apart from that, we tend to be more honest and straightforward when we make online friends than in real life. Since in the cyberspace, we cannot see others’ faces, we do not have to worry about the negative results brought by direct communication. For instance, we are free to air our opinions on some sensitive issues of the society, and share our little secrets with our online friends with ease. In this way, online friendship gives rise to more openness and less stress or pressure at the same time.

While many people argue that making friends online is not stable or even dangerous, I posit that embracing this technological innovation by becoming a true netizen is definitely a wise choice.

专四写作评分标准

• 测试要求:

(a) 作文: 能根据所给的作文题目提纲或图表数据等,写一篇200个单词左右的作文.能做到内容切题完整,条理清楚,结构严谨,语法正确,语言通顺,表达得体.考试时间35分钟.

(b) 便条: 能根据所给提示写50至60个单词的便条通知请贴等.能做到格式正确,语言得体.考试时间10分钟.

（一）评分原则

• 专业四级作文题采用总体评分方法。阅卷人员就总的印象给出奖励分，而不是按语言点的错误数目扣分。

• 从内容和语言两个方面对作文进行综合评判。内容和语言是一个统一体，作文应表达题目所规定的内容，而内容要通过语言来表达。要考虑作文是否切题，是否充分表达思想，也要考虑是否用英语清楚而确切地表达思想，即考虑语言上的错误是否造成理解上的障碍。

• 避免趋中倾向。该给高分的给高分，包括满分；该给低分的给低分，包括零分，一

名阅卷人员在所阅的全部作文卷中不应只给中间的几种分数。

• 英语专业四级考试委员会要求阅卷人员评分时综合考虑以下四个问题： ➢ 作文是否体现主题思想：文章切题，全文统一，无不相关细节内容。

➢ 组织结构是否合理：全文条理清楚、组织连贯和谐、善于使用衔接语以增强文章的

逻辑性。

➢ 语法文字是否有重大错误：正确使用英语语法是英语学习的一个重要目的，而体现

在写作中，则是语句合乎英语语法习惯，一篇充斥着语法错误的习作让人难以下读，也不可能获得高分。

➢ 卷面布局是否整洁：字体端正清晰、易于辨识；规范大小写；词间空格；段前缩进；

正确使用标点符号；避免拼写错误、减少涂改。 • （二）评分标准

➢ 14分：切题。表达思想清楚，文字通顺，连贯性较好，基本无语言错误。 ➢ 11分：切题。表达思想清楚，文字连贯，但有少量语言错误。

➢ 8分：基本切题。表达思想比较清楚，文字上连贯，但语言错误较多，其中有少量

严重错误。

➢ 5分：基本切题。表达思想不够清楚，文字连贯性差，有较严重的语言错误。 ➢ 2分：条理不清，思想紊乱，语言支离破碎或大部分句子均有错误，且多数为严重

错误。

➢ 交白卷者，或作文与题目毫不相关，或只写几个单词。 ➢ 评分中对字数也有要求：累计字数在150－170之间，扣1分；累计字数在130－150

之间，扣2分；累计字数在110－130之间，扣3分；累计字数在90－110之间，扣4分；累计字数在90分以下，至多给5分。

注：如照抄提示中原句，均不得计入所写字数。只写一段者：0－4分；只写两段者：0－9分（指规定三段的作文）；按规定，考生作文若为0分，无论其总分是否高于60分，均作不及格处理；若其作文分高于0分，低于6分，报导成绩时，需从总分中减去6分，再加上实得作文分。便条
