2015年6月大学英语四级考试真题答案与详解

(第2套)

Part I Writing

这是一篇四级考试中常见的议论文。此次通过漫画所呈现出的话题computer(电脑)是考生日常生活中耳熟能详的话题，因此写起来并不难。行文中，考生应将重点放在第二段阐述电脑与日常生活的关系上。联系实际分析可知，二者关系为：电脑为日常生活提供了便利，但不能完全占据人们的日常生活。

一、提出观点：电脑在日常生活中虽然重要但并非必不可少(an important but not indispensable role)

现代生活

漫画中是一个人，一天当中他无时无刻不在使用电脑，不论是在工作时、在家时、玩游戏时，还是在睡眠中。这幅漫画生动地描述了一种普遍现象：电脑现在深深地渗透到我们的日常生活中，我们甚至一分钟都不能没有它。尽管如此，在我看来，电脑在现代生活中虽然重要但并非必不可少。

诚然，电脑使我们的生活方便，并提供及时帮助。但它并非生活必需品。首先，过度沉迷于电脑对我们的健康不利。我们可能着迷于电脑上五花八门的内容而忽略了在业余时间锻炼身体。此外，过度使用电脑会将我们隔离在社交圈之外。因为我们可以通过电脑与虚拟世界中的朋友交谈，所以我们可能不会费心去与身边的亲朋好友交流。

总之，作为高科技的产物，电脑确实改善了我们的生活。但是我们不应该在电脑上花费过多的时间而舍弃享受美好的生活．

find a few that can be reduced．

短文评分软件给教授减压

A)设想参加一次大学考试，做完试题后不是上交考卷并在几个星期后拿到教授的评分，而是点击“发送’’按钮并立即收到一个分数——一个由软件程序对你短文的评分。然后，设想考试不是就此结束，而是系统立即让你重新答题以取得更好的成绩。

B)EDX——由哈佛大学和麻省理工学院共同成立的提供在线课程的非营利性组织——已经引入了这样一个系统，并将在网上推出免费的自动化软件供任何想要使用的机构使用。(47)该软件利用人工智能对学生的短文和简答题进行评分，从而将教授们解放出来以开展其他工作。

C)这一新的服务将会使教育联盟陷入有关自动化在教育中所扮演角色的更激烈的争论。(49)虽然现在针对选择题和判断正误题的自动评分系统已经非常普遍，但利用人工智能技术对短文进行评分尚未得到教育工作者的广泛认可，而且批评声也很多。

D)EDX总裁兼电子工程师阿南特·阿加瓦尔预测说，即时评分软件将会是一个有益的教学工具，可以让学生反复测试和写作，并提高答案的质量。他表示，相比于传统的课堂系统——学生通常要等数天乃至数周才能拿到分数，该技术有着明显的优势。(55)“学习中即时反馈有着巨大价值，”阿加瓦尔博士说，“学生们告诉我们说有了即时反馈，他们学得更好。”

E)但怀疑人士表示，自动化系统比不上活生生的老师。莱斯·佩雷尔曼就是一位长期的批评者，并曾多次引起全国关注，原因是他将文理不通的短文组合在一起，而软件评分程序不明就里，给出了很高的分数。(50)此外，对于有关软件评分优于人力评分的研究，他也持强烈的批评态度。

F)(46)从上个月起，由教育工作者组成的一个团体开始散发反对自动化评估软件的请愿书，而他就是其中的参与者之一。该团体自称是“反对重要测试中使用机器对学生作文进行评分的专业人士”，现已收集到了近2，000个签名，其中也包括一些知名人士，如诺姆·乔姆斯基等。

G)“让我们面对自动化短文评分的事实，”该团体声明中有部分写道，“计算机不能‘阅读’。(52)它们无法衡量有效书面表达的基本要素：准确性、逻辑、充足的论据、完整的意义、伦理立场、令人信服的论证、有意义的结构和清晰性等等。”

H)但EDX期望它的软件能够为学校和大学广泛采用。EDX提供哈佛大学、麻省理工学院和加州大学伯克利分校的免费在线课程；今年秋天，它还将增加卫尔斯利学院、乔治城大学和得克萨斯大学的课程。总计有12所大学参与EDX，它提供结业证书，并表示计划在明年继续扩大规模，包括增加国际学校。

I)EDX评估工具需要实实在在的老师或评分者首先评判100份短文或问答题。然后，该系统利用多种机器学习技术进行自我培训，以便以一种近乎即时的方式对众多短文或答案进行自动评分。该软件会基于老师所创建的评分系统给予一个分数，可能是字母等级，也可能是数字分数。

J)EDX并不是最先使用自动化评估技术的机构，这种技术可追溯到20世纪60年代的早期计算机。目前，一系列公司已经推出了书面阅卷的商用程序，而且四个州——路易斯安那、北达科他、犹他和西弗吉尼亚——已经在中学使用该技术的某种形式。第五个州——印第安纳州已经开始试行。(54)在某些情况下，该软件充当了“第二阅卷者”的角色，用来检验人工评分的可靠性。

K)但是，EDX集团设定标准的影响力的上升可能会推进这一技术的应用。周二，斯坦福大学宣布它将会与EDX合作开发一个联合教育系统，并将利用自动化评估技术。

L)此外，近期成立的Coursera和Udacity是斯坦福大学教职人员为创建“大型公开在线课程”(MOOCs)而成立的两家新兴机构，鉴于即时反馈的价值，它们也承诺采用自动化评估系统。“它会对学生的功课做出即时反馈，这样一来，学习就会变成一种游戏，自然而然地吸引学生反复提交作业，直到正确为止，”计算机科学家、Coursera公司创始人达芙妮·科勒说。

M)(48)去年，休利特基金会——由惠普公司创始人之一及其妻子成立的捐赠型组织——赞助了两个l0万美元的奖项，旨在对短文和简答题评分软件进行改进。每个奖项的参赛团队都超过了150个。此次休利特竞赛之一的获胜者维克·帕鲁丘里被EdX聘去帮助设计评估软件。N)“我们的关注点之一是帮助孩子们学会批判性思考，”休利特基金会项目官员维克多．维奇克说。“选择题测试不可能达到那种效果。挑战在于，这需要人力评分，所以成本更大，而且耗费时间也更长。”

O)俄亥俄州阿克伦大学教授马克·D．舍米斯是休利特基金会短文自动评分竞赛的监督者，而且还就这次试验写过一篇论文。在他看来，这一技术虽然并不完美，但在教育环境中还是占有一席之地的。

P)(53)他说，随着班级规模的不断扩大，大多数老师都不太可能就学生的作文给出有意义的反馈。另外，他还指出，关于该技术的批评者多来自全美顶尖大学，那里的教学水平要比大多数学校高得多。

Q)“他们通常都来自非常著名的机构，事实上，他们给出的反馈的确优于机器的反馈，”舍米斯博士说。(51)“但是他们似乎缺乏对现实世界中真实情况的了解。”

Some professionals in education are collecting signatures to voice their opposition to automated essay grading．

F)He iS anlong a group of educators who last month began circulating a petition (呼吁) opposing automated assessment software．The group，which calls itseff Professionals Against Machine Scoring of Student Essays in High—Stakes Assessment，has collected nearly 2，000 signatures，including some from famous people like Noanl Chomsky．

47．Using software to grade students’essays saves teachers time for other work．

B)EDX．the nonprofit enterprise founded by Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of TechnologY(MIT)to offer courses on the Internet．has just introduced such a system and will make its automated(自动的)software available free on the Web to any institution that wants to use it． The software uses artificial intelligence to grade student essays and short written answers,freeing professors for other tasks

48．The Hewlett contests aim at improving essay grading software．

M)Last year the Hewlett Foundation，a grant—making organization set up by one of the Hewlett—Packard founders and his wife． sponsored two $100．000 prizes aimed at improving software that grades essays and short answers．More than 150 teams entered each category．A winner of one of the Hewlett contests，Vik Paruchuri，was hired by EDX to help design its assessment software．

49．Though the automated grading system is widely used in multiple—choice tests automated essay grading is still criticized by many educators．

C)The new service will bring the educational consortium(联盟)into a growing conflict over the role of automation in education．Although automated grading systems for multiple．．choice and true—false tests are now widespread，the use of artificial intelligence technology to grade essay answer．Has not yet received widespread acceptance by educators and has many critics．

50．Some people don’t befieve the software grading system can do as good a job as human graders．

E)But skeptics(怀疑者)say the automated system is no match for live teachers． One longtime critic，Les Perelman，has drawn national attention several times for putting together nonsense essays that have fooled software grading programs into giving high marks．He has also been highly critical of studies claiming that the software c0mpares well to human graders．

51．Critics of automated essay scoring do not seem to know the true realities in less famous universities．

Q)“Often they come from very famous institutions where， in fact，they do a much better job of providing feedback than a machine ever could，”Dr．Shermissaid．"There seems t0 bealack 0f appreciation of What is actually going on in the real world"．

52．Critics argue many important aspects of effective writing cannot be measured by computer rating programs．

G)“Let’S face the realities of automatic essay scorin9，”the group’S statement reads in part．“Computers cannot ‘read’T hey cannot measure the essentials o effectivewrittenc0mmnicati0n；accuracy, reas0，ningade quacy of evidence,good sense,ethical (伦理的)position，convincing argument，meaningful organization,and clarity among others．"．

53．As class size grows，most teachers are unable to give students valuable comments as to how to improve their writin9．

P)Withincreasingly large classes,it is impossible for m0stteachersto9ivestudents meaningful feed backon writing assignments,he said．Plus，he noted，critics of the technology have tended to come from the nation’S best universities，where the level of teaching is much better than at most schools．

54．The automated assessment technology is sometimes used to double check the work of human graders．

J)EDX is not the first to use the automated assessnlent technology，which dates to early computers in the l960s． There is now a range of companies offering commercial programs to grade written test answers．and four states Louisiana，North Dakota，Utah and West Virginia--are using some form of the technology in secondary schools． A fifth。Indiana．has experimented with it．In some cases the software is used as a"second reader,"to check the reliability of the human graders．

55．Students find instant feedback helps improve their learning considerably．

D)Anant Agarwal，an electrical engineer who is president of EDX． predicted that the instant—grading software would be a useful teaching tool，enabling students to take tests and write essays over and over and improve the quality of their answers．He said the technology would offer distinct advantages over the traditional classroom systern．where students often wait days or weeks for grades．“There is a huge value in learning with instant feedback，”Dr．Agarwal said．“Students are telling as they learn much better with instant feedback．”

(56)关于“工作-生活平衡”的无休止的争论经常包括一个给人希望的注释，那就是全职父亲。如果美国社会和企业不会给那些决定当妈妈的未来女性领导者更多方便的话，仍然能够带来一丝希望的是越来越多的全职父亲会给她们更多便利。(57)但是基于现在的社会经济趋势，不幸的是，这种希望是被误导的。

(57)近十年里放弃工作成为全职父亲的人数翻倍的确是事实，但是这个数字仍然很小：已婚家庭中只有0．8％的全职父亲能够坚持离开工作岗位长达一年时间。甚至这个比率中还包含着因为企业精简裁员而不得不退居家庭的男士。要减少社会污名，这个群体根本不够大，而且需要迫使做出其他必要的调整来支持男性做出这个决定，即使是在相对短的时间内。对于上班族父亲而言，即使是更短一点时间不工作都是困难的。一项研究发现85％的新生儿父亲会在孩子刚出生之后休息一段时间——但总共仅仅几天，最多一至两个星期。同时，产后的女性平均会休息十周以上的时间：

(58)这样的选择会影响到那些在组织中希望晋升的人。当你离开的时候，其他人会承担你的工作，替你完成销售，照顾你的客户。这些并不能有助于你的工作。这只能伤害你。当然，女性在很长时间的脱岗之后回岗会面临相同的问题。(59)但是，由于相比男性，会有更多的女性选择完全离职来照顾家庭，所以休完延长的产假之后堕归工作的女性所引起的惊讶并不会多于男性。

如果女性员工离开工作而不切断自己的职业轨迹的话，或者高薪职业更有利于家庭生活，她们会得到更多。(60)在可以预见的未来，全职父亲可能会给个体家庭带来改变，但是他们的存在并不能减少那些在工作和家庭之间被迫做选择的很有潜力的女性的数量。

世界上一些最重要的问题从来没有上过新闻头条。农业就是一个例子，(61)因食物引发的暴乱和饥饿是大新闻。但是这些事情背后的发展趋势却很少被提及，即一些世界主要农作物产量增长速度减缓。明尼苏达大学和蒙特利尔的麦吉尔大学开展的一项新研究调查了这种减缓发生的区域和程度。

研究者采集了水稻、小麦、玉米和大豆这四种最重要的农作物的大量数据。他们发现，在所有被开垦的土地中．24％到39％的土地在20世纪80年代之前产量增加，而在20世纪90年代和21世纪初产量下降。

此次减缓有两个令人担心的特点。(62)一个是在印度和中国这两个世界人口最多的国家产量增速下降得尤其剧烈。它们养活自己的能力是保证两国内和世界粮食市场相对稳定的重要来源。如果增速持续减缓或者严量下降，这种自给自足不能被看作是理所应当的。

第二，小麦和水稻产量的增速比玉米和大豆的增速更缓慢。这一点很棘手，因为小麦和水稻是更重要的粮食作物，约占人们所消耗卡路里总数的一半。玉米和大豆更重要的是作为喂养饲料。(63)研究者们指出，“我们偏向专注于提高喂养动物和为汽车提供能源的农作物的产量，而不是能养活人类、作为世界大部分地区食物保障基础的作物。”(64)该报告对另外一篇新论文更乐观的发现做了修正。这篇新论文提出，正如联合国粮食农业组织所认为的，为了养活到2060年的90亿人口，人们不需要再开垦更多的土地来耕种。

相反，它认为，由于人口增速的减缓，当前被开垦的农田也许能够退耕还林。这是有可能的。

2014年6月英语四级仔细阅读真题(总三套题)及答案

2014年6月英语四级仔细阅读真题（第一套）及答案 Passage One Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage. When young women were found to make only 82 percent of what their male peers do just one year out of college, many were at a loss to explain it. All the traditional reasons put forward to interpret the pay gap-that women fall behind when they leave the workforce to raise kids, for example, or that they don't seek as many management roles-failed to justify this one. These young women didn't have kids yet. And because they were just one year removed from their undergraduate degrees, few of these women yet had the chance to go after (much less decline) leadership roles. But there are other reasons why the pay gap remains so persistent. The first is that no matter how many women may be getting college degrees, the university experience is still an unequal one. The second is that our higher education system is not designed to focus on the economic consequences of our students' years on campus. Now that women are the majority of college students and surpass men in both the number of undergraduate and advanced degrees awarded, one might think the college campus is a pretty equal place. It is not. Studies show that while girls do better than boys in high school, they start to trail off during their college years. They enroll in different kinds of classes, tend to major in less rigorous (非常严格的) subjects, and generally head off with less ambitious plans. As a result, it's not surprising that even the best educated young women enter the workplace with a slight disadvantage. Their college experience leaves them somewhat confused, still stumbling (栽倒) over the dilemmas their grandmothers' generation sought to destroy. Are they supposed to be pretty or smart? Strong or sexy (性感的) All their lives, today's young women have been pushed to embrace both perfection and passion-to pursue science and sports, math and theater-and do it all as well as they possibly can. No wonder they are not negotiating for higher salaries as soon as they get out of school. They are too exhausted, and too scared of failing. 56. Traditionally, it is believed that women earn less than men because ______. A) they have failed to take as many rigorous courses B) they do not feel as fit for management roles C) they feel obliged to take care of their kids at home D) they do not exhibit the needed leadership qualities 57. What does the author say about America's higher education system? A) It does not offer specific career counseling to women. B) It does not consider its economic impact on graduates. C) It does not take care of women students' special needs. D) It does not encourage women to take rigorous subjects. 58. What does the author say about today's college experience? A) It is different for male and female students. B) It is not the same as that of earlier generations. C) It is more exhausting than most women expect. D) It is not so satisfying to many American students. 59. What does the author say about women students in college? A) They have no idea how to bring out their best. B) They drop a course when they find it too rigorous. C) They are not as practical as men in choosing courses. D) They don't perform as well as they did in high school. 60. How does the author explain the pay gap between men and women fresh from college?

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