Text 1

My husband and I got married in 1981 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work

My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.

After several weeks of looking for a job, I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends. “My clever little wife can run that company she’d working for.”

But as his joking statement approached truth, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I’m now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our joined incomes, my husband and I can do many things we had always dreamed of doing, but we don’t do these things because he is very unhappy.

We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think it is possible that our marriage may come to an end.

I love my husband very much, and I don’t want him to feel inferior, but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don’t know how. Who can give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?

16. When was the passage most probably written?

A) In 1991 B) Around 1996

C) In 1981 D) Four years ago

A) praised her for all the housework she had done

A) It only took several days for her to find the job she is now doing.

B) For the first time since their marriage, the writer doesn’t think her

husband is as kind as before.

C) Her husband stopped talking to her about her job when her career was

approaching success.

D) Her husband has been proud of her for every success she has won on

the job.

19. As she was making more money, _______.

A) she did a lot of things she had dreamed of

After-sales service and guarantee become an integral and essential part of a “good brand” on both local and regional levels, and the provision of such also produces solid ground for customer loyalty.

Customers today are a lot more demanding than before. Being able to find after-sales service creates a feeling of convenience and a sense of responsibility from the manufacturer. This is very important to build customer loyalty and explains why more 24-hour hotline centers are available nowadays.

Product guarantee is also one of the major factors when a potential customer decides to make a purchase. Whether this be in the form of a written guarantee or a guarantee based on reputation, the importance to the consumer is self-evident. A brand’s research & development, an unavoidable investment, usually back up safety guarantees for marketers nowadays. Product testing and refinement are conducted for both new and existing products. With the help of computerized machinery, quality control has achieved the highest level than ever before to enable consistency in production. For the consumer this means a quality of guarantee for that brand whether it be available at home or abroad.

Just two months ago, Ana, a teenager, was preparing for an important exam. Winners would receive scholarships and be able to study in the United States. Ana knew her grades were excellent, but she realized that she must do well on the exams in order to qualify for the $3,000 stipend (津贴). Although Ana had worried about the interview portion of the exam, she came through with flying colors (轻松地). She spoke to the American interviewers about her family background and discussed her educational plans with them. Her hard work paid off, for she was one of twenty awarded a four-year scholarship earlier this month.

Now Ana cannot believe that she is sitting in a business management class at the University of California at Los Angeles.

The term "culture shock" has already begun to creep into the popular vocabulary. Culture shock is the effect that involvement in a strange culture has on the unprepared visitor. Culture shock is what happens when a traveler suddenly finds himself in a place where yes may mean no, where a "fixed price" is negotiable, where to be kept waiting in an outer office is no cause for insult, where laughter may signify (意味) anger.

The culture shock phenomenon causes a breakdown in communication, a misreading of reality, an inability to cope. Yet culture shock is relatively mild in comparison with the much more serious malady（弊病）, future shock. Future shock is brought on by the premature arrival of the future. It may well be the most important disease of tomorrow.

Take an individual out of his own culture and set him down suddenly in an environment sharply different from his own, with a different set of cues to react to — different conceptions (概念) of time, space, work, love, religion, sex, and everything else, then the dislocation he suffers will be severe. Given few clues as to what kind of behavior is rational under the radically new circumstances, the victim may well become a danger to himself and others.

Now imagine not merely an individual but an entire society, an entire generation —including its weakest, least intelligent, and most irrational members — suddenly transported into this new world. The result is mass disorientation (迷失方向), future shock on a grand scale.

This is the prospect that man now faces. Change is avalanching （把……淹没）upon our heads and most people are unprepared to cope with it.

31. Culture shock occurs when ________.

A. one loses all hopes of returning to his home environment

B. one expresses ideas and emotions contrary to what he intends to express

C. one cannot make accurate judgment using one's own value standards

D. one cannot conduct negotiations for goods of fixed prices

32. Future shock is much more serious than culture shock as ________.

A. it concerns the problems of the future

B. it affects people on a grand scale

C. it causes mass casualties (伤亡)

D. it destroys the foundation of the society

33. The word "cue" in Para. 3 most probably refers to something that

________.

A. disorients an individual

B. disturbs an individual's normal way of life

C. helps an individual to function in society

D. arouses an individual's interest in the new culture

34. One of the good measures to prevent future shock is to ________.

A. get people well-prepared for the future changes

B. keep people well-informed of the cultures in different places

C. make people fight against the possible future changes

D. acquaint people with the harm of the future changes

35. It can be inferred that the author's tone in the passage is ________.

A. humorous

B. exaggerated

C. ironic (讽刺的)

D. serious

Air Pollution

(Clean air is important to good health.) We need clean air every minute. If the air contains impurities, they may be absorbed by our bodies and make us ill. Without clean air man could not be in good health.

(But, throughout the world, air pollution is generally present in all cities.) More and more factories are being set up every year and theses factories pour millions upon millions of tons of harmful gases into the air. Power plants that burn coal add greatly to air pollution. Cars, which are out on the street, take in air and replace it with poisonous gases.

(Now, more and more people are realizing the importance of clean air and trying hard to prevent and control air pollution.) Schools are now teaching about the pollution problem. Much money has been spent in cleaning up the air. Industries are beginning to help clean up. They are installing special equipment to clean up their smoke. Scientists and engineers are trying to develop cleaner engines for cars. The day will come when people will be able to take in clean air in cities.

(完整版)英语四级阅读试题及答案详解1

英语四级阅读试题及答案详解1 Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts __1__ questions, and so on. For most of the time this “conversation” goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however, we become __2__ of it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between __3__ and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our question of the text continues at the unconscious level. Different people __4__ with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page, others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension which is __5__ in the text. The latter represents __6__ levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers. There is another conversation which from our point of view is __7__ important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a “process” conversation as __8__ to a “content” conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the __9__ we employ in reading.

Colleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid Good grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid. But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars. George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago. Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008. Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willing to pay whatever they must for a big-name school. For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running. But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,”says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum. Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it. “As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,”says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Repor t’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17. Merit aid, which benefited about 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about $ 1 million a year, “served us well,”Inzer says, but “to be

The so-called “mean” by Confucius doesn’t mean “compromise” but a “moderate” and “just-right” way when understanding and handling objective things. Confucius advocated that this thought should not only be treated as a way to understand and deal with things but also be integrated into one’s daily conduct to make it a virtue through self-cultivation and training. The Doctrine of the Mean is not only the core of Confucianism but also an important component of traditional Chinese culture. From the time it came into being to the present, it has played an invaluable role in the construction of national spirit, the transmission of national wisdom, and the development of national culture.
