Part I Writing

【标准版】Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will

Nothing runs smoothly in our life.To achieve things successfully, a strong will is essential.Life is like a Marathon.Many people can’t get to the terminal.This is not because they are lack of vitality but because their will of success is not strong enough.To take quitting smoking as an example, some regard it as a piece of cake.They make up their minds to quit it in the morning, but in the evening they feel that the smell of cigarettes is tempting.Their throats are sore, their mouths are thirsty, and their hands are shaking.After the painful mental struggle, they tell themselves that “One cigarette is enough.Just take one, and the next day I will quit it.” By doing this, they surrender to their weak will.In the end, they have quitted smoking “a hundred times”, but in no time they succeed.Just like quitting smoking, nothing succeeds without a strong will.To be successful in one’s life, a strong will means that you know where you go and you will persist on the road you choose.Undoubtedly success belongs to those who overcome their weak will and who hang in there until the last minute.【高分版】Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will

As we have read from above, quitting-smoking seems easy, but in reality it is rarely achieved.There is something provoking and interesting in this paradox, just because sword does not wear the stone as dripping water does.The ability to do something over and over again in a short time may imply its easiness, but in a long run, a lifetime maybe, things turn out to be quite the opposite.Also, as is often the case, one may have obtained all the tools and opportunities to achieve something, but in the end they still fail due to the will shortage.So how could we avoid the dilemma? Here is the prime condition of success: will and perseverance.Concentrate you energy, thought and mind exclusively on the business in which you are engaged, hang on in there and be patient, for, as Emerson put it, no one can cheat you out of your ultimate success but yourself.Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)

Compound Dictation

Our lives are woven together.As much as I enjoy my own company, I no longer imagine I can get through a single day much less all my life completely on my own.Even if I am on vacation in the mountains, I am eating food someone else has grown, living in a house someone else has built, wearing clothes someone else has sewn from cloth woven by others, using electricity someone else is distributing to my house.Evidence of interdependence is everywhere;we are on this journey together.As I was growing up, I remember being carefully taught that independence not interdependence was everything.“Make your own way”,” Stand on your own two feet” or my mother’s favorite remark when I was face-to-face with consequences of some action: Now that you’ve made your bed, lie on it.Total independence is a dominant thing in our culture.I imagine that what my parents were trying to teach me was to take responsibilities for my actions and my choices.But the teaching was shaped by our cultural imagines.And instead, I grew up believing that I was supposed to be totally independent and consequently became very reluctant to ask for help.I would do almost anything not to be a burden, and not require any help from anybody.PART 4

13.W: Airport, please.I’m running a little late.So just take the fastest way even if it’s not the most direct.M: Sure, but there is a lot of traffic everywhere today because of the football game.Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?

15.W: now one more question if you don’t mind, what position in the company appeals to you most?

M: When I say I live in Sweden, people always want to know about the seasons.W: The seasons?

M: Yeah, you know how cold it is in winter? What is it like when the days are so short?

W: So what is it like?

M: Well, it is cold ,very cold in winter.Sometimes it is cold as 26 degrees below centigrade.And of course when you go out, you’ll wrap up warm.But inside in the houses it’s always very warm, much warmer than at home.Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter.W: And what about the darkness?

M: Well, yeah, around Christmas time there’s only one hour of daylight, so you really looks forward to the spring.It is sometimes a bit depressing.But you see the summers are amazing, from May to July in the North of Sweden the sun never sets.It’s still light in the midnight.You can walk in the mountains and read a newspaper.W: Oh, yeah, the land of the midnight sun.M: Yeah, that’s right, but it’s wonderful.You won’t stay up all night.And the Swedes makes most of it often they started work earlier in summer and then leave at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so that they can really enjoy the long summer evenings.They’d like to work hard, but play hard, too.I think Londoners work longer hours, but I’m not sure this is a good thing.Q19: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?

M: Yes, from the Woolen District.Q23.What was the man’s major at university?

Q24: What was the man’s job in secondary schools? Q25: What attracted the man to Nottingham University? Section B

Passage One

While Gail Obcamp, an American artist was giving a speech on the art of Japanese brush painting to an audience that included visitors from Japan, she was confused to see that many of her Japanese listeners have their eyes closed.Were they tuned off because an American had the nerve to instruct Japanese in their own art form or they deliberately tried to signal their rejection of her? Obcamp later found out that her listeners were not being disrespectful.Japanese listeners sometimes closed their eyes to enhance concentration.Her listeners were showing their respect for her by chewing on her words.Some day you may be either a speaker or a listener in a situation involving people from other countries or members of minority group in North America.Learning how different cultures signal respect can help you avoid misunderstandings.Here are some examples.In the deaf culture of North America, many listeners show applause not by clapping their hands but by waving them in the air.In some cultures, both overseas and in some minority groups in North America, listeners are considered disrespectful if they look directly at the speaker.Respect is shown by looking in the general direction but avoiding direct eye contact.In some countries, whistling by listeners is a sign of approval while in other courtiers it is a form of insult.Questions:

26, What did Obcamp’s speech focus on?

27, Why do Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes while listening to a speech? 28, What does the speaker try to explain? Passage Two

Chris is in charge of purchasing and maintaining equipment in his Division at Taxlong Company.He is soon going to have an evaluation interview with his supervisor and the personnel director to discuss the work he has done in the past year.Salary, promotion and plans for the coming year will also be discussed at the meeting.Chris has made several changes for his Division in the past year.First, he bought new equipment for one of the departments.He has been particularly happy about the new equipment because many of the employees have told him how much it has helped them.Along with improving the equipment, Chris began a program to train employees to use equipment better and do simple maintenance themselves.The training saved time for the employees and money for the company.Unfortunately, one serious problem developed during the year.Two employees the Chris hired were stealing, and he had to fire them.Chris knows that a new job for a purchasing and maintenance manager for the whole company will be open in a few months, and he would like to be promoted to the job.Chris knows, however, that someone else wants that new job, too.Kim is in charge of purchasing and maintenance in another Division of the company.She has also made several changes over the year.Chris knows that his boss likes Kim’s work, and he expects that his work will be compared with hers.Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.29.What is Chris’s main responsibility at Taxlong Company?

30.What problem did Chris encounter in his Division?

31.What does Chris hope for in the near future?

32.What do we learn about Kim from the passage?

Passage Three

Proverbs, sometimes called sayings, are examples of folk wisdom.They are little lessons which older people of a culture pass down to the younger people to teach them about life.Many proverbs remind people of the values that are important in the culture.Values teach people how to act, what is right, and what is wrong.Because the values of each culture are different, understanding the values of another culture helps explain how people think and act.Understanding your own culture values is important too.If you can accept that people from other cultures act according to their values, not yours, getting along with them will be much easier.Many proverbs are very old.So some of the values they teach may not be as important in the culture as they once were.For example, Americans today do not pay much attention to the proverb “Haste makes waste”, because patience is not important to them.But if you know about past values, it helps you to understand the present and many of the older values are still strong today.Benjamin Franklin, a famous American diplomat, writer and scientist, died in 1790, but his proverb “Time is money” is taken more seriously by Americans of today than ever before.A study of proverbs from around the world shows that some values are shared by many cultures.In many cases though, the same idea is expressed differently.Questions 33-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33.Why are proverbs so important?

34.According to the speaker what happens to some proverbs with the passage of time?

What do we learn from the study of proverbs from around the world?

篇4：2011年12月英语四级真题及答案

短对话

短对话在历年的四级听力考试中都属于难度偏低的题型，多以日常生活中常见的场景和话题为主，并无过于复杂和深奥的词汇。但就近几年四级听力真题来看，短对话的难度在悄悄增加，其难点主要体现在考查考生能否根据简短的对话内容揣摩出说话人的言外之意。很多考生在听短对话时都有这样的感受：听力录音中的单词和词组都不陌生，但一旦连词成句，整句话的意思或其在文中所起的作用就难以捉摸。所以，能否把握住说话人的意图是考生解决短对话题目的关键所在。

通过观察和总结历年短对话的录音材料，笔者发现这样一个规律：几乎所有短对话的考点都集中在第二个人说的话上。通常来说，第一个人说的话所起的作用是把考生引入到一个场景中，而能否准确理解第二个人的话会直接影响考生答题的准确率。第二个人说话时一般多使用转折句、建议句、强调句等来表达自己的想法或感受，所以考生要特别注重对这些句式的理解。这几类常考句式在此次四级听力短对话中体现得尤为明显。下面我们来看以转折句为考点的第12题：

12. What does the man mean?

A. He was looking forward to seeing the giraffes.

B. He enjoyed watching the animal performance.

C. He got home too late to see the TV special.

D. He fell asleep in the middle of the TV program.

解析：在这道题的录音中，第一个说话人(woman)的话不难理解，通过其提到的“TV special (特别节目)”可知对话探讨的话题为电视节目，这类场景在短对话中经常出现。对话的关键点是第二个说话人(man)所说的话：“… but I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see the whole thing.”通过转折词but及其后出现的表示与现在事实相反的虚拟语气，考生可以推测出此题的感情色彩转向了消极的方向，即第二个说话人可能没有观看此节目，而原因就是没有stay awake，言外之意是说第二个说话人在观看节目的过程中睡着了。因而选项D为正确答案。

这种通过转折句引出关键考点的题目在此次考试中很常见。同样类型的题目还有第13、14和16题，占了短对话题目的一半之多。解决此类题目的关键在于抓住三个要点：①捕捉到第二个说话人话中的转折词；②仔细体会转折词后录音内容的言外之意；③在选项中找出能表达这一言外之意的选项。

下面我们来看以建议句为考点的第11题：

11. What does the man suggest the woman do?

A. Read the notice on the window.

B. Go and ask the staff.

C. Get a new bus schedule.

D. Board the bus to Cleveland.

解析：在这道题的录音中，通过第一个说话人(woman)所说的bus schedule、leave等词，考生很容易听出这道题讨论的是“发车”问题。答题的关键在于理解第二个说话人说的话：“Why don’t you just go to the ticket window and ask?”这句话表面上是反问的口气，实则是建议第一个说话人去ticket window询问一下，正确答案显然为选项B。虽然选项A、C、D中分别出现了对话中的词汇window、bus schedule和Cleveland，但只是片面地表达了某些细节，目的是想迷惑考生。因此，考生在做题时不要一看到选项中出现了自己听到的词汇就妄加选择，而是要对选项进行仔细分析。此次短对话的第17题同样也考查建议句。对于这类题型，考生要注意掌握常见的建议句式，仔细体会建议的具体内容。

此次短对话以常规题型为主，考点多是考生较为熟悉的内容。但同时，短对话考查的角度有所拓展，出现了新的出题思路，也增加了对口语或俚语的考查，以短对话的第18题为例。

18. What do we learn about the speakers from

the conversation?

A. They were camping this time last year.

B. They didn’t quite enjoy their last picnic.

C. They learned to cooperate under harsh conditions.

D. They weren’t experienced in organizing picnics.

解析：该题的难点体现在其与众不同的出题思路上。短对话题多是针对对话中某一个人的话提问，而该题是针对整个对话提问，加大了考生的分析难度。解答此题的关键在于理解第一个说话人(woman)的话：“This picnic should beat the last one we went to, doesn’t it?”考点就体现在beat一词上。Beat是口语中常用的词汇，词组“beat sth./sb.”表示“在某一方面胜过或优于某事(人)”。通过第二个说话人的回答(Oh, yeah, we had to spend the whole time inside. Good thing, the weather was cooperative this time)，考生可推断出对话中的两人都认为“今年的野餐胜过去年的”，言外之意就是“去年的野餐不太理想”，由此可知正确答案为选项B。

这种与实用的口语表达相结合的考查方式较为新颖，也许会成为今后短对话的一种考查趋势，这就要求考生平时多积累常用的口语表达。

长对话

此次听力考试的两个长对话难度都不大，第一个对话探讨英国和瑞士两国的气候和人文方面的问题；第二个对话则为经典的工作面试场景。虽然篇幅比短对话稍长，题材也更为专业，但两个长对话的题目难度较小，符合听力考试一贯遵循的“题文平衡性原则”(即如果听力录音材料的篇幅长、难度大，题目就相对简单)。所以，只要考生能够掌握好大致的行文逻辑，把握好对话节奏，对重要的细节信息进行记忆，答案还是比较容易判断的。下面我们来看长对话中的题目。

第一个长对话是关于英国和瑞士两国气候和人文方面的讨论。虽说此类题材在长对话中并不多见，但题目相对简单，考生可主要依据“视听基本一致”原则解题。所谓“视听基本一致”，是指与录音材料中的内容越接近的选项，其作为正确答案的可能性越高，可简单理解为“听到什么，就选什么”。下面来看第20题。

20. What do Swedish people complain about when they visit England in winter?

nlc202309031051

A. The bad weather.

B. The gloomy winter.

C. The cold houses.

D. The long night.

解析：这道题对应第一个长对话的前半部分，题目中没有生僻词汇，考生可凭对话中的句子“Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter”找到答案。通过这句话，考生不难判断Swedish people抱怨的内容为“the houses are cold”。根据“视听基本一致”原则，与该内容最为吻合的选项为选项C，由此可知选项C为正确答案。

第二个长对话考查的是工作面试场景。通过分析历年听力考试中出现的此类场景，我们可以找到大致的出题思路：考点主要集中在被面试人的背景(包括教育程度、文凭种类、所修专业、工作经历等)、申请工作的原因(包括个人的主观选择和客观因素)以及求职的意向(包括申请职位、晋升等)等方面。只要考生熟悉这些考点，抓住对应信息，答题便不是问题。下面我们来看第23题。

23. What was the man’s major at university?

A. English Literature. B. Management.

C. French. D. Public Administration.

解析：这道题询问的是面试者的专业。在此类有关面试场景的对话中，被面试人的个人信息通常出现在对话的开头部分。掌握了这一特点，考生可直接在对话开头寻找答案。根据对话开头的句子“I did a degree in French at Nottingham”，考生很容易判断此题的正确答案为选项C。

综上所述，长对话的题目设置并不难，只要考生把握好长对话的结构，抓住重点信息，结合“视听基本一致”原则，注意区分干扰选项，攻下此题型并非难事。

短文理解题

四级听力考试的难点多集中在短文理解题目上。这一方面是由于短文听力材料本身的难度较大，另一方面是由于听力考试到此已进行到中间时段，考生的注意力难免会有些分散，这为其听记文章带来了额外的困难。但就此次短文理解题目来说，题目难度比较适中，只要考生掌握一些常见的应对策略，还是能够攻克这一难关的。

长对话中提及的“视听基本一致”原则同样适用于解答短文理解题。此外，考生还可结合“题文同序”原则来解答该题型。所谓“题文同序”原则，是指在短文理解题目中，题目的顺序与其答案信息在录音材料中出现的顺序通常是一致的。一般情况下，短文开头的前三句话必出一题，中间位置出1～2道题，结尾处出一题。根据这一原则，考生就可以提高定位的准确性，有针对性地集中精力听辨考点内容。下面来看第29题。

29. What is Chris’ main responsibility at Taxlong Company?

A. Directing personnel evaluation.

B. Buying and maintaining equipment.

C. Drawing up plans for in-service training.

D. Interviewing and recruiting employees.

解析：这道题为第二篇短文的第一题，所以考生可依据“题文同序”原则，将注意力集中在短文的开头部分。根据录音材料中的第一句话“Chris is in charge of purchasing and maintaining equipment in his division at Taxlong Company”，结合“视听基本一致”原则，考生可确定正确答案应为选项B。选项B中的buying正是录音中purchasing的同义替换。

考生需要注意的是，“视听基本一致”原则并不一定局限在选项内容与录音内容在文字上的高度吻合，还包括选项内容与录音内容在意思上的高度吻合。因为录音中的内容有时会在选项中以“同义替换”的形式出现，所以考生在利用这一原则解题时，不仅要能辨别文字上的一致，还要学会辨别意思上的一致。

复合式听写

此次复合式听写文章的题材不是以往常见的科技文，而是记叙文，所以整体难度不高。单词听写部分需要填入的单词多为名词，并且没有涉及单复数变化，考生只要足够细心即可。唯一有些难度的是第40题，该题要求考生填入sewn (sew的过去式)一词，有些考生对该词不太熟悉，结果在此处失分。

复合式听写的句子听写部分稍有难度，因为每个句子中都会出现一些长词或难词，比如independence、interdependence、responsibilities、burden等词。虽说有三次机会记录，但如果考生对这些词汇的含义或拼写不够熟悉的话，很容易在这些词上浪费时间，影响后面的听写。针对这些长词或难词，建议考生在听第一遍录音时只写下这些词的一半或大半，或是利用辅音记忆法来记下单词(例如responsibilities可写成rspsbltys)，以节省时间；等到听第二遍录音时，考生再将这些词补全。当然，要想熟练运用这种方法，考生还需在平时多加练习。

【翻译原文】

信息技术(Information Technology)，正在飞速的发展，中国公民也越来越重视信息技术，有些学校甚至将信息技术作为必修课程，对这一现象大家持不同观点。一部分人认为这是没有必要的，学生就应该学习传统的课程。另一部分人认为这是应该的，中国就应该与时俱进。不管怎样，信息技术引起广大人民的重视是一件好事。

【点评】

今年的大学英语六级考试题型改革后，翻译题从之前的单句汉译英“换装”为段落汉译英，这对于考生来说，无疑是一个更大的挑战。很多考生一看到整段的汉译英题目就头疼，因为他们对于这个题目太陌生了。从单句到段落的翻译，标志着国家对于考生英语水平的要求已经提高到了一个全新的层面。段落翻译考查的是考生的英语综合水平。

但从真题的出题角度来看，这次考试还是对考生相当得仁慈，考题要比考试样章中的题目来得简单得多。整篇翻译题就像是一篇四级作文，属于观点对立型的。主要是针对学校是否应该将信息技术这门课作为学生的必修课。其中阐述了两类人群的不同观点，这像极了我们四级考试作文题。比作文题还要简单的是，段落翻译已经给出了考生写作的思想，考生只需将其翻译成英文即可。

从真题的出题内容来看，这次的翻译题也没有考那些考生不熟悉的话题，而是对考生特别熟悉的信息技术进行了考查。而且，整篇翻译原文中并没有特别长的句子和特别难的表达。相信考生肯定可以从容应对的。
