Academic Dishonesty on Campus

It is shown in the recent surveys that many college students papers from the Internet to save the trouble of doing their homework. In my opinion，this kind of academic dishonesty is very harmful to these students.

First, ing papers from the Internet makes students lazy. Copying papers from the Internet seems easy and can save some time and trouble, therefore, students will do this more and more often and seldom work hard to complete their papers on their own. In other word, students will become lazier and lazier. Second. students can lean little from ing others’ work. Students cannot improve their abilities just by downloading papers from the Internet without their own thinking and working. What’s worse, once students get used to academic cheating, they may also cheat in other cases in the future, which will be very dangerous for them.

To prevent academic dishonesty on campus, some punishment by the school may be necessary. But the most important thing is that teachers should talk to those students, and make them aware of the fact that ing others’ work cannot bring them any knowledge and that only by working hard can they improve themselves.

SECTION B NOTE-WRITING

Dear Amy,

I am so glad to tell you that I have got two tickets of a concert given by a famous band. This band is good at playing classical music which I know you are very fond of. Would you please go to the concert with me tomorrow night? It will begin at 7:00 pm.

The number of applicants for civil servants has increased abruptly in recent years. Many people believe it is an appealing job, while others don't think so. What is your opinion?

In the second part, support your opinion with appropriate details.

In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.

SECTION B NOTE-WRITING

Write on ANSWER SHEET THREE a note of about 50-60 words based on the following situation:

You have just received a phone call from your mother at the" hospital. She is ill and you must get there right away. Write a note to your teacher to ask for leave.

Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness.

范文：

Is Civil Servant an Ideal Job?

Every year the number of applicants for government position vacancies increases sharply. Many people believe that being a civil servant is very nice because working for the government can bring you with comparatively higher and steadier salary, better welfare, and more comfortable working conditions. While others argue that a civil servant's work often prevents one from bringing his strongpoint into full play. In my opinion, civil servant is not a wise choice for some people.

First, civil servant is not an ideal job for those people with active characters. A civil servant's work is somehow regular and boring, so an active person may not stand doing almost the same work day after day and year after year. Second, civil servant is not a good choice for those people with creative talent. These people can do much better and contribute more in a creative job, such as becoming a drawer or a composer. And I cannot imagine what a tragedy it will be if a talented dancer puts away her beloved dance shoes, or a mathematician leaves his lovely numbers, just to rush for a high-paid position of civil servants.

Civil servant positions are not suitable for some people, so please look before you leap to apply for these jobs.

Nowadays, young people tend to celebrate western traditional festivals, such as Valentine's Day, Christmas. Some people worry that western festivals are undermining Chinese culture. What's your opinion?

Are Western Festivals Undermining Chinese Culture?

SECTION A COMPOSITION

Are Western Festivals Undermining Chinese Culture?

In recent years, more and more young people have been fascinated to celebrate western festivals, such as Valentine's Day and Christmas. However, many young people don't remember traditional Chinese festivals like Dragon Boat Festival and Festival of Lanterns. Some people, therefore, worry that western festivals are undermining Chinese culture. But in my opinion, this will not happen.

I believe that Chinese culture will be kept well. First, young people like to celebrate western festivals just because these festivals are fresh and interesting to them. When they get used to them, they will lose their interest in them. While the traditional Chinese festivals will be celebrated no~ matter whether people are interested or not, because it's our own culture. Second, our country has set these traditional Chinese festivals as legal holidays so that people can have several days off from their work. People, especially young ones, like to have holidays on which they don't need to go to school or work. Therefore, they will be counting the days when a traditional Chinese festival is coming and planning how to celebrate the festival.

In one word, western festivals will not undermine Chinese culture, but just add some fun into our daily lives.

SECTION A COMPOSITION

On Dormitories Security

It is reported that recently in quite a few universities, dormitories on campus have been broken into and burglaries have happened every now and then. Students have complained a lot that burglaries are like nightmares in their college years. I think it's high time that both students and universities did something to rece and eliminate this kind of crime.

On the one hand, there are some measures which universities can take. First, universities should have all the dormitory doors and windows checked, find out and repair the broken ones so that thieves cannot go in easily. Second, the number of university security staff should be increased. Security personnel should patrol on campus and cross-question any suspicious person. On the other hand, students should also do something to protect their belongings. First, when they leave their dormitories, they should keep doors and windows locked to keep out sneak thieves. Second, students should lock their valuables up in lockers. In this way, they can rece the risks of burglaries happening.

In one word, both students and universities should do something to rece burglaries in dormitories. And only in a safe dormitory can a student lives and studies happily.

81-90CADBC ABDAB

TEXT A

TEXT B
注：本文摘自 《英语学习四十年精选之异域风情 + 国外风情面面观》

Predicting the future is always risky. But it's probably safe to say that at
least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America's “
Disney era ” . Today, it's certainly difficult to think of any other single
thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that created
Mickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more
widely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the same
way as Disney.

The reasons for Disney's success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the
credit belongs to one person — the man who created the cartoon and built the
company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly
well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest
skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in
Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and
merchandising — something his company still does brilliantly today.

But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his
audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the “ little guy ” , and
made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that
reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American
achievements — Disney's very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silent
Mickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic.
Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed
how, through hard work and helping one's fellow man, or Americans could survive
social and economic crises like the Great Depression.

Disney's other great virtue was the fact that his company — unlike other big
corporations — had a human face. His Hollywood studio — the public heard —
operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on firstname terms and had a
say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because
not only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, ring World War II, studios
made training films for American soldiers.

The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn,
Disney's patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in
1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. He
agreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whom
he suspected were subversives.

But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the
genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Way
of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of
ordinary Americans — in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt,
believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist
for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large,
bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in
which he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.

By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and
the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to
the public at large, he was “ Uncle Walt ”— the man who had entertained them all
their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who
represented all that was good about America.

86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPT
A. painting.
B. creativity
C. management.
D. merchandising.

87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney’s patriotism?
A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films.
B. He supported America’s war efforts in his own way.
C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations.
D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.

88. In the sixth paragraph the sentence “Disney was more or less the genuine
article” means that
A. Disney was a creative and capable person.
B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.
C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way.
D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people.

89. The writer’s attitude toward Walt Disney can best be described as
A. sympathetic.
B. objective.
C. critical.
D. skeptical.

『叁』 英语专四考试阅读题解题技巧

英语专四考试阅读题解题技巧

专业英语四级的阅读考试中，考生的阅读速度是最重要的，那么想要提高阅读速度，正确的阅读方法就是关键了，下面我就给大家介绍一下正确的方法和技巧吧!

一、找出段落的中心思想

任何阅读材料都有主要意思，即大意main idea.。文字材料的大意有不同的层次。一个比较长的句子可以说很多事情，但一般只有一个大意，可以用几个词概括;一个段落包括很多句子，但也只有一个大意，通常是段落的主题句topic sentence.包含段落的大意。通常人们说“大意”指的是整篇材料的中心思想。

非小说体的阅读材料通常有比较明显的大意，其结构也比较清楚。文章的开头部分introction.就比较明确地指出文章的中心思想。文章主体部分的每一段也有主题句，通常在段首或段尾。文章的结尾还要对全文作一个总的概括。

为了找出段落的中心思想，读者应该在了解上下文的基础上，寻求作者对生活所做出的直接或间接的评论。这些评论有时作者直接说出，有时隐含在篇章中，有时通过他人说出。为了便于找出作品的中心思想，阅读中你可以考虑以下问题：

1.作品是否表明了有关社会生活的某种重要的东西?它是否帮助你形成新的生活观?

2.作品是否表明了某个普遍真理?

3.你同意作品的中心思想或作者的观点吗?

二、如何对待阅读中的词汇问题

阅读过程中不可避免地要遇到生词。大纲中规定允许有3%的生词，也就是说2000个词中允许有60左右的生词，但一般不会有这么多的生词。有的人一遇到生词就停下来查字典，有的则读完一两页后查字典，有的人则完全不管生词。其实阅读中遇到生词只要不影响你对篇章主要意思的理解，一般应该继续往下读。如果生词的确影响你对内容的理解，查字典当然是一种办法，但很不方便，而且频繁地查字典不仅影响阅读速度，而且影响对文章内容的整体理解。所以在平时阅读时，遇生词最好的方法是通过上下文猜测。以下几条建议可帮助你猜测词义：

1.看看上下文中有没有生词的另一种说法，即找同义词。有时上下文会对一个生词作解释，或者提供一些暗示。

2.看看生词在文章中的词性，即看这个词是名词、动词、形容词、副词或其他词类。另外再看看这个词在文中与哪些词搭配使用，再根据自己的其他知识，就可以进行正确的猜测。

3.分析生词的构成，尤其是词的前缀和后缀。英语中很多词都是加前缀或后缀而变来的。比如你认识这两个词write和similar，根据前缀re-和后缀-ity的含义，你就可以准确地猜出rewrite和similarity这两个词的意思。

4.看看同一生词是否在上下文的其他地方出现，把两处的语境相比较，也许能更加准确地猜出词义。

5.充分利用你关于所阅读的内容已有的知识。

为了巩固阅读过程中的生词，在读完一篇后，你可以把本篇中最重要的生词查一下字典，准确地了解这生词在文中的意思。因为我们训练的篇章都是大纲规定的题材，在真题中也可能会遇到这方面的文章，甚至单词。

三、推论出段落的隐含意思

有时，为了某种目的，作者往往不直接说出某一意思，而是含蓄地表达。这种隐含的意思有时是篇章的主要意思。所以阅读中经常需要推论making inference.。有时一句话的含义需要推论，有时整个篇章的含义需要推论。以下几条建议可以帮助你进行推论：

1.结合作者的思想观点、写作背景进行推论。

2.寻找作者直接陈述的诸多事件之间的联系。

3.仔细体会某些重要词的含蓄意义及其感情色彩。比如politician和statesman的意思都是“政治家”，但前者有贬义的色彩，即“政客”，后者则没有。

4.从作者的语气、语调、措辞等文体特征，读出作者的“言外之意”reading beyond the lines.。

5.得出某一推断后，尽量从上下文中寻找证据。

6.充分利用自己已有的各方面的知识，把文章中所述的.事情和自己的阅历或熟悉的事情联系起来考虑。

四、预测下文内容

预测下文内容也是提高阅读效率的重要手段。预测与猜测不同。猜测是对自己没有把握的文字意思的假设，预测则是假想下文将会发生什么事情。预测之所以能够提高阅读效率，是因为它使你产生某种“期待”expectations.。带着这种期待去读下文，你会努力为你的假想寻找证据，你的注意力将更加集中在文中的重要内容上。

当然，预测也不是随意的，必须根据已经发生的事情或已了解的内容加上你自己的一般常识进行符合逻辑的预测。当你继续阅读下文时，你的预测要么被肯定，要么被否定。无论是肯定还是否定，都会加深你对原文的理解。以下是几条建议：

1.如果你对段落的主题思想已有初步的了解，想一想关于这一主题通常要描写哪些方面的事情，这些事情在本文中会发生吗?

2.应用你的英语语言知识及语言在具体语境中的习惯用法，预测篇章将要写什么。

(四)归纳概括性题目：要求在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章作出归纳、概括或评价。解这种题目时，不能只凭文中的只言片语而断章取义，比如涉及文章的标题(title)、主题(mainidea)、结论(conclusion)、结局(end)等有关问题，都需要在细读全文的基础上，结合所学语言知识、背景知识、生活常识、专业知识进行逻辑思维推理判断，从而获取文章中内隐的信息。

专四英语阅读题

下面是我给大家提供的`专业四级的英语阅读题及答案，欢迎大家参考练习!

第一篇：

What we know of prenatal development makes all this attempt made by a mother to mold the character of her unborn child by studying poetry, art, or mathematics ring pregnancy seem utterly impossible. How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the child? There is no connection between their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child, because it changes the activity of her glands and so the chemistry her blood. Any chemical change in the mother's blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we can not see how a looking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved in blood and proce a similar liking or genius in the child.

In our discussion of instincts we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behavior. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may be, however, that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a success of that study.

As for musical ability, it may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or the vocal organs connections between nerves and muscles that make it comparatively easy to learn the movements a musician must execute, and particularly vigorous emotions. If these factors are all organized around music, the child may become a musician. The same factors, in other circumstance might be organized about some other center of interest. The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but a certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other undertaking may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.

1. Which of the following statements is not true?

A. Some mothers try to influence their unborn children by studying art and other subjects ring their pregnancy.

B. It is utterly impossible for us to learn anything about prenatal development.

C. The blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly.

D. There are no connection between mother's nervous systems and her unborn child's.

2. A mother will affect her unborn baby on the condition that ____.

A. she is emotionally shocked

B. she has a good knowledge of inheritance

C. she takes part in all kind of activities

D. she sticks to studying

3. According to the passage, a child may inherit____.

A. everything from his mother

B. a knowledge of mathematics

C. a rather general ability that we call intelligence

D. her mother's musical ability

4. If a child inherits something from his mother, such as an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or of the vocal organs, he will ____.

A. surely become musician

B. mostly become a poet

C. possibly become a teacher

D. become a musician on the condition that all these factors are organized around music

5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Role of Inheritance. B. An Unborn Child.

C. Function of instincts. D. Inherited Talents

第二篇：

The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don't go.

But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graates are attending, those who don't fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other's experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graate school. Other find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.

Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn't explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.

Some adventuresome ecators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—may it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.

1.According to the author, ___.

A.people used to question the value of college ecation.

B.people used to have full confidence in higher ecation.

C.all high school graates went to college.

D.very few high school graates chose to go to college.

2.In the 2nd paragraph, "those who don't fit the pattern" refer to___.

A.high school graates who aren't suitable for college ecation.

B.college graates who are selling shoes and driving taxis.

C.college students who aren't any better for their higher ecation.

D.high school graates who failed to be admitted to college.

3.The dropout rate of college students seems to go up because___.

A.young people are disappointed with the conventional way of teaching at college.

B.many people are required to join the army.

C.young people have little motivation in pursuing a higher ecation.

D.young people don't like the intense competition for admission to graate school.

4.According to the passage, the problems of college ecation partly originate in the fact that___.

A.society cannot provide enough jobs for properly trained graates.

B.High school graates do not fit the pattern of college ecation.

C.Too many students have to earn their own living.

D.College administrators encourage students to drop out.

5.In this passage the author argues that___.

A.more and more evidence shows college ecation may not be the best thing for high school graates.

B.College ecation is not enough if one wants to be successful.

C.College ecation benefits only the intelligent, ambitious, and quick-learning people.

D.Intelligent people may learn quicker if they don't go to college.

『捌』 英语专四考试阅读加分试题训练

As the merchant class expanded in the eighteenth?century North American Colonies, the silversmith and the coppersmith businesses rose to serve it. Only a few silversmiths were available in New York or Boston in the late seventeenth century, but in the eighteenth century they could be found in all major colonial cities. No other colonial artisans rivaled the silversmiths’ prestige. They handled the most expensive materials and possessed direct connections to prosperous colonial merchants. Their procts, primarily silver plates and bowls, reflected their exalted status and testified to their customers’ prominence. Silver stood as one of the surest ways to store wealth at a time before neighborhood banks existed. Unlike the silver coins from which they were made, silver articles were readily identifiable. Often formed to indivial specifications, they always carried the silversmith’s distinctive markings and consequently could be traced and retrieved. Customers generally secure the silver for the silver object they ordered. They saved coins, took them to smiths, and discussed the type of pieces they desired. Silversmiths complied with these requests by melting the money in a small furnace, adding a bit of copper to form a stronger alloy, and casting the alloy in rectangular blocks. They hammered these ingots to the appropriate thickness by hand, shaped them and pressed designs into them for adornment. Engraving was also done by hand. In addition to plates and bowls, some customers sought more intricate procts, such as silver teapots. These were made by shaping or casting parts separately and then soldering them together. Colonial coppersmithing also come of age in the early eighteenth century and prospered in northern cities. Copper’s ability to conct heat efficiently and to resist corrosion contributed to its attractiveness. But because it was expensive in colonial America, coppersmiths were never very numerous. Virtually all copper worked by Smiths was imported as sheets or obtained by recycling old copper goods. Copper was used for practical items, but it was not admired for its beauty. Coppersmiths employed it to fashion pots and kettles for the home. They shaped it in much the same manner as silver or melted it in a foundry with lead or tin. They also mixed it with zinc to make brass for maritime and scientific instruments.?

1.According to the passage, which of the following eighteenth century developments had strong impact on silversmiths? ?

A. A decrease in the cost of silver. ?

B. The invention of heat efficient furnaces. ?

2.In colonial America, where did silversmiths usually obtain the material to make silver articles? ?

A. From their own mines. ?

B. From importers. ?

C. From other silversmiths. ?

C. musical instruments ?

D. maritime instruments

4.According to the passage, silversmiths and coppersmiths in colonial America were similar in which of the following ways? ?

C. The cost of the goods they made. ?

D. The practicality of the goods they made.

参考答案：

1. C) 根据文章第一句“As the merchant class expanded in the eighteenth?century North American Colonies,...”可知，随着在十八世纪的北美殖民地商人阶级膨胀起来，也就是说那时的商人财富有了很大的发展，银匠铜匠们有机会发挥他们的.专长了，这与选项C正好相符。?

3. C) 文章末尾在提到铜的用途时惟独没有提到乐器。?

4. B) 根据文章倒数第四行“They shaped it in much the same manner as silver or melted it in a foundry with lead or tin.”可知银匠和铜匠在银器和铜器的塑型方式上是一样的，故选项B为正确答案。
