Section III Reading Comprehension

(60 minutes)

Part A

Directions :

Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.

Text 1

Inflation has just exploded. The real problem is that we have an underlying rate of inflation-an impetus of wages chasing prices-of maybe 9 percent that is heading towards 10 percent. There also have been tremendous shocks in energy ,food and housing prices ,making it worse.

By the end of the year ,we will be in a situation where year in ,year out, we can look forward to at least 10 percent inflation. And the question will be: How much worse will oil ,food and housing prices make that？

The situation has degenerated to the point that the only way to turn it around is to think of some very extreme changes in policy. A policy of gradualism ,where you're talking about a mild re- cession and another l t0 2 million people unemployed ,won't make much difference. Postponing ac-tion just means that inflation presses further and is even more difficult to deal with.

You have to start with revenue and monetary restraint. All the burden now is on monetary poli-cy. We should shift to a much more restrictive revenue policy and an easier monetary policy. To be Significant ,the 1981 budget should be cut by at least 20 billion dollars from 616 billion President Carter proposed. That's a major cut in government programs-and very hard to do. It's impossible if you save defense and all the programs indexed for changes in the cost of living.

So it means cuts across the board in every area-including the indexed programs ,such as So-cial Security and food stamps. State and local-government revenue-sharing programs are another ma-jor candidate. You've also got to reopen the 1980 budget and cut that.

Then I would favor wage and price controls to break the impetus of the wage-price interaction .In order to get quick results ,l 'd set the standard around 5 0r 6 percent for both wages and prices .Basically ,you're aiming to cut the rate of inflation in half the first year. There would be no excep-tions ,but you would focus on large corporations and .major labor settlements.

For the special sectors where the big shocks have occurred ,controls won't work .lnstead ,you need additional policies in each one of those areas.

There are no cheap or easy solutions to the inflation problem. My answer is to take all the things that everybody wants to do ,and instead of choosing among them ,do all of them. We've got to think in terms of a comprehensive program.

41.ln the author's opinion ,the high inflation rate in the US was accompanied by

[ A] energy crises.

[ B ] mounting wages.

[ C] housing shortage.

[ D] shrinking market.

Text 1

Competition for admission to the country's top private schools has always been tough, but this year Elisabeth realized it had reached a new level. Her wake-up call came when a man called the Dalton School in Manhattan, where Elisabeth is admissions director, and inquired about the age cutoff for their kindergarten program. After providing the information, she asked about the age of his child. The man paused for an uncomfortably long time before answering. "Well, we don't have a child yet. We're trying to figure out when to conceive a child so the birthday is not a problem. "

Worries are spreading from Manhattan to the rest of the country. Precise current data on private schools are unavailable, but interviews with representatives of independent schools all told the same story: an oversupply of applicants, higher rejection rates. "We have people calling us for spots two years down the road," said Marilyn of the Seven Hills School in Cincinnati. " We have grandparents calling for pregnant daughters. " Public opinion polls indicate that Americans' No. 1 concern is edu-cation .Now that the long economic boom has given parents more disposable income, many are tuming to private schools, even at price tags of well over $ 10,000 a year. "We're getting appli-cants from a broader area geographically than we ever have in the past," said Betsy of the Latin School of Chicago, which experienced a 20 percent increase in applications this year.

The problem for the applicants is that while demand has increased, supply has not. "Every Year ,there are a few children who do not find places, but this year, for the first time that I know of , there are a significant number without places ,"said Elisabeth.

So what can parents do to give their 4-year-old an edge？ Schools know there is no easy way to pick a class when children are so young. Many schools give preference to children of their gradu- ates. Some make the choice by drawing lots. But most rely on a mix of subjective and objective measures: tests that at best identify developmental maturity and cognitive potential, interviews with parents and observation of applicants in classroom settings. They also want a diverse mix. Children may end up on a waiting list simply because their birthdays fall at the wrong time of year, or be- cause too many applicants were boys.

The worst thing a patent can do is to pressure preschoolers to perform-for example, by push-ing them to read or do math exercises before they're ready. Instead, the experts say, parents should take a breath and look for alternatives. Another year in preschool may be all that's needed.

41. From this text we learn that it is

[A] harder to make a choice between public and private schools.

[B] harder to go to private schools this year than before.

[C] more difficult to go to public schools than to private schools.

[D] as difficult to go to private schools this year as before.

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)2016年6月大学英语四级卷1真题及答案

Section A

Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

Questions 26 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Physical activity does the body good, and there's growing evidence that it helps the brain too. Researchers in the Netherlands report that children who get more exercise, whether at school or on their own,26to have higher GPAs and better scores on standardized tests. In a27of 14 studies that looked at physical activity and academic28, investigators found that the more children moved, the better their grades were in school,29in the basic subjects of math, English and reading.

The data will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over whether physical education classes should be cut as schools struggle to30on smaller budgets. The arguments against physical education have included concerns that gym time may be taking away from study time. With standardized test scores in the U.S.31in recent years, some administrators believe students need to spend more time in the classroom instead of on the playground. But as these findings show, exercise and academics may not be32exclusive. Physical activity can improve blood33to the brain, fueling memory, attention and creativity, which are34to learning. And exercise releases hormones that can improve35and relieve stress, which can also help learning. So while it may seem as if kids are just exercising their bodies when they're running around, they may actually be exercising their brains as well.

A)attendance

B)consequently

C)current

D)depressing

E)dropping

F)essential

G)feasible

H)flow

I)mood

J)mutually

K)particularly

L)performance

M)review

N)survive

O)tend

第5题

听力原文： The American humorist, Will Rogers, used to say, "All I know is what I read in t
he newspapers." This was an exaggeration for humorous purposes, but it is true that newspapers are an important source of information. Many people begin their day by reading the paper. In this way they learn what is going on in the world. Sometimes, however, they don't have time to read the news carefully and must be satisfied with a quick look at the front page; at other times they may be in such a hurry that they have time only to glance at the headlines. There are newspapers to satisfy every reader. In the big cities there are many types of papers, with several different editions every day. In small towns there are fewer newspapers and perhaps only one edition each day. In some areas the paper is printed weekly. Most newspapers have several sections, especially on Sundays when the edition is larger than usual. There are, in addition to the front page with the most important news, the sports section, the society page, the comics, the amusement section, a business page and the editorials. Another type of publication which helps keep the population informed is the magazine. Some magazines are published weekly; others are put out monthly. There are news magazines, literary magazines and magazines for such special interests as photography, sports, art and music. Some are primarily for men, others for women, and there is a selection of children's magazines, too. In the United States, there are publications for every taste and interest.

(30)

A．They are what people read.

B．Many people begin their day by reading newspapers.

C．They are important information sources.

D．They are important because of the front pages.

第6题

The news， at its best， is Often an indulgence， a relief， an escape from one’s own troubles

The news， at its best， is Often an indulgence， a relief， an escape from one’s

own troubles， a flight from the mundane. News is not a civic chore. In fact， to

treat reading the news as a duty is to treat ice cream like mustard greens—to

believe readers must be tricked into eating it， and thus guarantee that they

rarely will.

I’m going to propose that we should read news sites as ice cream—not as an

obligation， but for stimulation， escapism， and even righteousness. At the same

time we must admit to ourselves that—far from being a duty—news in heated times

（and in the age Of Twitter） can often represent a full-tilt compulsion， and thus

a habit to be judiciously managed.

This new avidity and readerly sense of purpose began about a year ago， during

the Psychic upheaval of the presidential primaries， with the repeated shocks to

our society’s manners， morals， and politics. The work of ’being informed’—so

long preached in social studies classes—now felt like the opposite of work. You

didn’t have to force yourself to read the news. You had to force yourself to

take a break.

There is everything to be gained by cultivating a personal stake in the lives of

others， in the future of our nation， and in the world. But reading the front

section as if it were the sports pages， with every line a credit or debit， a

win， or a loss， has hazards. You begin to twist what you read. It’s what happens

when the public’s consumption of news becomes too much about sides， about

winning and losing， and less about empathy for our fellow men.

So how do we combat this？ By increasing our literacy. To become a better reader，

we must borrow practices from higher-order reading， including the reading of

fiction. Remember that the best characters and novels—and every single

flesh-and-blood human and real-life event—mix good and evil. Suspend judgement.

Let yourself be surprised by evidence that doesn’t fit your hypothesis. Take

breaks.

But also， keep reading. It’s quite a story. And you’re part of it.

Based on the passage， which of the following is FALSE？

A.Most people like ice cream

B.Increasing our literacy helps us to become better readers

C.Most people treat reading the news as an interest

D.The author proposes that we should read news sites as ice cream

Why reading news as a habit should be judiciously managed？A.Reading news is an obligation

B.News can often represent a full-tilt compulsion in heated times

C.The news is often an indulgence or a relief

D.The news should be reading with every line a credit or debit

When do you begin to twist what you read？A.Reading the front section as if it is a story.

B.Reading news becomes too much about sides.

C.Being surprised by evidence that doesn’t fit your hypothesis.

D.Being starting higher-order reading

We must borrow practices from higher-order reading indicates that_____.A.The reading of fiction is a kind of higher-order reading

B.A piece of news is a real-life event—mix good and evil.

C.The reading of fiction can teach you which is good or evil.

D.Now a piece of news is quite a story full of fiction

Which of the following is the best summing-up of the passage？A.How to read a new correctly？

B.How to get rid of twistingly reading？

C.How to manage a habit of reading？

D.How to develop an interest of reading？

听力原文：Book reports may be required by teachers who want to know whether their students
have read the books assigned and how well they understand those books. If they are not required, students may as well write one or two for themselves, for writing book reports helps students to improve their reading comprehension and their ability to analyze and evaluate books. Moreover, it is very good writing practice.

Generally speaking, a book report consists of the following three main parts: information about the author and his times, a summary of the book, and comments on it.

A brief account of the author's life should be given together with a description of his times. The latter should include the circumstances that led to the writing of the book under discussion and the historical and social background related to the content of the book.

As has been mentioned in the previous section, a summary should be self-contained, clear, and easy to understand. Above all, it should be objective. Comments on and criticisms of the book should not be mixed with the summary; they can be left to the third part.

Comments on the evaluation of the book form. the third and most important part of a book report. In this part the writer expresses his or her own views on the book, names its merits and demerits, and discusses its relevance to the present time.

Question: What does this passage mainly discuss？

(33)

A．How to read a book.

B．Evaluation of a book.

C．Evaluation of a writer.

D．The contends of a book report.

第10题

People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very
important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends. People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you. Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal(非语言的) communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out(突出) of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. What does the first sentence in Paragraph 1 mean？A. The home matters greatly to Englishmen

B. The castle is more important than the home

C. The home is more important than the castle

D. Englishmen usually live in homes instead of castle

Which of the following is NOT the reason for most British to live in homes？A.They can make changes in houses in which they live

B.They love houses more than gardens

C.They can own private space like the house and the garden

D.They can keep the private space to themselves and friends

According to Paragraph 2, if you spread your books around you in a library, it means:__________A.you want to spread your towels around you further

B.you want to put your coat on the table

C.you can find no space for your books on the seat

D.you wait to tell others the space belongs to you

The writer tried to get back his space by__________A.moving the case off the table

B.taking all his papers out

C.taking up the space of the man opposite

D.showing the books concerned to the man

How did the man opposite to the writer show he owned the whole table？A.He sat in a section for four people
