第一篇：2011年12月英語四級真題及答案

Passage One

Boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and are more likely to get involved in activities such as art, dance and music, according to research released today.Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity in which students either sink or swim, the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform to a stereotype, the US study says.Boys at single sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to conform to the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls.He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys' learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study's author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with specifically “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them.Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around.“Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine and prefer the modern genre in which violence and sexism are major themes,” James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to conform to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships.“In mixed schools, boys feel compelled to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,” the study reported.57.The author believes that a single-sex school would _____________________.A force boys to hide their emotions to be “real man”

B help to cultivate masculine aggressiveness in boys

C encourage boys to express their emotions more freely

D naturally reinforce in boys that traditional image of a man

58.It is commonly believed that in a mixed schools boys ____________________.A perform relatively betterB grow up more healthily

C behave more responsiblyD receive a better education

59.What does Tony Little say about the British education system?

A It fails more boys than girls academicallyB It focuses more on mixed school education

C It fails to give boys the attention they need

D It places more pressure on boys than on girls

60.According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ______________.A teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys

B boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted

C boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in

D teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spirit

61.Which of the following is characteristic of boys according to Abigail James’ report?

A They enjoy being in chargeB They conform to stereotypes

C They have sharper visionD They are violent and sexist

Passage Two

It's an annual argument.Do we or do we not go on holiday? My partner says no because the boiler could go, or the roof fall off, and we have no savings to save us.I say that you only live once and we work hard and what's the point if you can't go on holiday.The joy of a recession means no argument next year – we just won't go.Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful.For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday.A YouGov poll of 2,000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money.What's less clear is whether divorce and separation rates rise in a recession – financial pressures mean couples argue more but make splitting up less affordable.A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples.Disputes were characterized by intense verbal aggression, tended to be repeated and not resolved, and made men, more than women, extremely angry.Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money is such a big deal because of what it symbolizes, which may be different things to men and women.“People can say the same things about money but have different conceptions of what it is for,” he explains.“They will say it's to save, to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them” He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they've achieved something.“The biggest problem is that couples assume each other knows what is going on with their finances, but they don't.There seems to be more of a taboo about talking about money than talking about death.But you both need to know what you are doing, who is paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately.In a healthy relationship you don't have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.”

62.What does the author say about vacationing?

A People enjoy it all the more during a recession

B Few people can afford it without working hard

C It makes all the hard work worthwhile

D It is the chief cause of family disputes

63.What does the author mean by saying “money is known… to bring a relationship to its knees”(Line1 Para.2)？

A Money is considered to be the root of all evils

B Some people sacrifice their dignity for money

C Few people can resist the temptation of money

D Disputes over money may ruin a relationship

64.The YouGov poll of 2000 people indicates that in a recession _________________.A conflicts between couples tend to rise

B it is more expensive for couples to split up

C couples show more concern for each other

D divorce and separation rates increase

65.What does Kim Stephenson believe?

A Money is often a symbol of a person’s status

B Money means a great deal to both men and women

C Men and women spend money on different things

D Men and women view money in different ways

66.The author suggests at the end of the passage that couples should ________________

A put their money together instead of keeping it separately

B make efforts to reach agreement on their family budgets

C discuss money matters to maintain a healthy relationship

D avoid arguing about money matters to remain romantic

翻譯一：2014年6月英語四級翻譯答案(教育公平)

為了促進教育公平，中國投入360億元，用于改善農村地區教育設施和加強中西部農村義務教育(compulsory education)。這些基金用于改善教學設施，購買書籍，使116萬多所中小學受益。資金還用于購置音樂和繪畫器材，現在農村和山區的兒童可以與沿海城市的兒童一樣上音樂和繪畫課。一些為接受更好教育而轉往城市上學的學生如今又回到本地農村學校就讀。

【參考譯文】

In order to promote the justice in education, China has already invested 36 billion RMB, which is used to enhance the teaching facilities of the countryside and compulsory education of rural area of mid-west.These funds can be used to improve the teaching aids and to purchase books, benefiting 16,000 middle schools and primary schools.Furthermore, these funds can also be used to purchase instrument for music and paintings.Nowadays, children from countryside and mountain areas can enjoy music class and painting class like the children in coastal areas do.Some students who were previously transferred to cities for better education now return to local areas to study.翻譯二：2014年6月英語四級翻譯答案(核電站)

中國進一步發展核能，因為核電目前只占其總發電量的2%。該比例在所有核國家中居第30位，幾乎是最低的。

2011年3月日本核電站事故后，中國的核能開發停了下來，中止審批新的核電站，并開展全國性的核安全檢查。到2012年10月，審批才又謹慎地恢復。

隨著技術和安全措施的改進，發生事故的可能性完全可以降低到最低程度。換句話說，核能是可以安全開發和利用的。

【參考譯文】

China should develop the energy of nuclear more, for nuclear power only accounts for 2% of the gross electrical power output, which makes China the least, the 30th, in the list of countries which own nuclear power.After the Japan’s accidents in March 2011, the exploration of nuclear power has been suspended, including halting the examining and approving new nuclear power stations as well as safety inspection of all the nuclear stations in the country.The approval didn’t recover until October, 2012.With the improvement of technology and safety arrangement, the possibilities of nuclear accidents could be reduced to the minimum degree.That is to say, nuclear power could be developed and utilized without accidents.翻譯三：2014年6月英語四級翻譯答案(閱讀)

中國的教育工作者早就認識到讀書對于國家的意義。有些教育工作者2003年就建議設立全民讀書日。他們強調，人們應當讀好書，尤其是經典著作。通過閱讀，人們能更好的學會感恩、有責任心和與人合作，而教育的目的正是要培養這些基本素質。閱讀對于中小學生尤為重要，假如他們沒有在這個關鍵時期培養閱讀的興趣，以后要培養成閱讀的習慣就跟難了。

【參考譯文】

Chinese education workers have already realized the significance of reading for a nation.Some workers suggested that we should have a national reading day in 2003.They emphasized that people should read good books especially the classical ones.Through reading, people can learn better how to be grateful, responsible and cooperative.The goal of education is to cultivate these basic personalities.Reading is especially important for middle and primary school students.Suppose they don't nurture the interest of reading at that key moment, it will be harder to develop a habit to read books.

第五篇：英語四級近三年真題作文及答案

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minute to write a short essay on the topic of students selecting their lectures.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given bellow: 1.越來越多的博物館免費對外開放的目的是什么？ 2.也會帶來一些問題 3.你的看法？

Free admission to museums

參考答案

Part I Writing Free Admission to Museums（滿分版）

Nowadays, an increasing number of museums are admission-free to visitors home and abroad.The hidden reason behind this is not hard to analyze as there’s a growing awareness for the authorities regarding the urgency of popularization of culture, knowledge and history with every average person in our society.Only with free access to this live ‘database’, can most people fully enjoy what museums could offer to them.However, free admission to museums might lead to some social problems as well.The most obvious problem is that it might give museums a very heavy economic burden which directly impedes the sustainable development of these organizations.As a result, our government has to work out other ways to collect funds from different channels, which might be difficult to operate or control.On the other hand, free admission attracts too many visitors, some of which might not be well-purposed and do some conscious or unconscious damage to the valuable treasures which used to be well-preserved in the museums.As a university student, I am in favor of the free-admission conduct.Yet it is proposed that some measures should be taken to solve the potential problems caused by it.For example, museums can make some regulations to guide the behavior of visitors or set some ‘closed’ days for museums for regular maintenance.Only in this way can free-admission to museums become a long-lasting phenomenon and have sustainable development.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic of Creating a Green Campus.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:

1.建設綠色校園很重要

2.綠色校園不僅指綠色的環境??

3.為了建設綠色校園，我們應該??

Creating a Green Campus Creating a Green Campus

Recently, with the idea of making and maintaining “a green earth” being the focus of the society, “green campus” has become a more and more popular concept in universities or colleges, which, undoubtedly, will bring us an ever-lasting benefit to both our campus and our society.The concept of “green campus” does not only mean a green environment but also refers to an environmental sense in people’s mind.Campus plays a crucial role in educating the young generation and the consciousness of “green campus” will definitely produce a profound effect on students’ various environmental protection activities after their graduation.What’s more, the young generation is under the burden of severe environmental pollution and there are many problems waiting for them to solve.To make “green campus” come true, firstly, it is necessary to work out effective principles for the development of sustainable and recyclable campus.Secondly, it calls for people’s awareness of the serious pollution around us and actual action to reduce the waste.Last but not least, it is necessary to strengthen the ties between campus and society, so as to ensure that “green campus” can work smoothly with the co-effort of the whole society.建設綠色校園

近來，隨著建設并保持“綠色地球”的觀念成為社會關注的焦點，“綠色校園”也成為校園里流行的話題。這無疑會給我們的校園和社會帶來長遠的利益。

“綠色校園”不僅僅指綠色的環境，還包括人們頭腦中的環境意識。學校在培養年輕一代上起著關鍵作用，“綠色校園”的意識必定會對學生畢業后的環境保護意識產生長遠影響。更為重要的是，年輕一代面臨著嚴重的環境污染，有太多問題等待他們去解決。

為使“綠色校園”成為現實，首先應該制定出可持續發展、可長遠發展的有效政策。其次，還需要人們對環境污染的嚴肅性有正確認識并采取實際行動切實減少污染。最后但同樣重要的是，有必要加強學校和社會的聯系以便在全社會共同努力下使“綠色校園”順利實施。

范文點評

范文以“綠色校園”開篇，保證了文章切題。第一段開門見山，強調當今環保理念下構建“綠色校園”的長遠意義。第二段，著重討論“綠色校園”的含義，指出“綠色校園”不僅指校園中的綠化，還指生活在校園中的人們的綠色和環保意識，把校園這個小環境和社會這個大環境結合起來，說理更加深刻。第三段是談及具體的做法，分一、二、三點進行論述，無疑是使“綠色校園”的理念落在實處。結構完整，首尾呼應，用詞準確。關系詞的正確使用讓句與句之間、段與段之間銜接緊湊，思想表達成熟有深度。

【生動的用詞】 maintain保持;concept概念;profound長遠的;sustainable可持續的;recyclable可循環的。

【豐富的短語】bring benefit to帶來利益;play a crucial role in發揮關鍵作用;under the burden of在??重負下;come true實現;call for要求。

【多變的句式】

范文中長句、短句、簡單句、復雜句交叉使用。不同句型之間的轉換，能讓閱卷老師更好地了解考生對句子結構的掌握運用，從而獲得高分。

避錯指導

本次作文在題材上，雖然仍然延續了我們所熟悉校園類話題，但與社會背景有很大關系。剛剛閉幕的哥本哈根世界氣候大會使環保減排這個主題成為焦點，在全世界都提倡可持續發展、和諧發展這一背景下的“綠色校園”，同時也是一個社會熱點話題，這是我們審題時所必須考慮的。另外開篇時，切忌拖泥帶水，應直截了當，使閱卷老師對文章主題一目了然。

除正確審題之外，考生還應注意語言的準確運用，不落俗套。不同句型之間轉換時，考生應對句子結構全面掌握，避免句式錯誤造成扣分。

最后，應盡量避免單詞拼寫錯誤。本次作文常見的卷面拼寫錯誤如下表：

正確拼寫 詞性及詞義 錯誤的拼寫

focus n.焦點 focuse

effect n.影響 effection /affect

environment n.環境 envirment/invironment

burden n.負擔 burdon

solve v.解決 slove

serious a.嚴肅的 serous

true a.真的 ture

society n.社會 soceity

theory n.理論 thery

總之，考生在構思和寫作過程中要盡可能做到思路完整，恰如其分地選擇詞匯。畢竟，無錯表達才是四級語言表達合格的核心。

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic of Due Attention Should Be Given To Spelling.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:

1.如今不少學生在英語學習中不重視拼寫

2.出現這種情況的原因

3.為了改變這種狀況，我認為?

Due Attention Should Be Given To Spelling

_______________________________________________________________________________ 作文范文：

Due Attention Should Be Given To Spelling

Correct spelling is a basic skill in English study.However, nowadays many students do not pay much attention to it.They have their own reasons for misspelling.First of all, they like an easy way of studying, which causes some omissions and changes in spelling.Second, the teachers might not be very strict in students’ spelling.In China, teachers seem to be more concerned with grammar and vocabulary but not spelling.To change this situation, in my opinion, the teachers and the students should work together.On one and, the teachers should give more attention to students’ spelling, asking the students to be conscious of the importance of correct spelling from the very beginning of their English study.On the other hand, the students themselves are supposed to be aware that correct spelling is a must in English study.To sum up, correct spelling is so important that both students and the teachers should spare no efforts to achieve correct spelling.
