One Way to Solve the Problem

Too many vehicles, such as cars, tracks, motorcycles, have created a lot of serious

problems in our world.Besides congestion, accidents and fast fuel consumption, they are

responsible for a good part of air pollution in big dries.All the time, the vehicles are pumping

huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere.These gases are harmful, causing disease and

even death.One possible solution that may reduce air pollution created by so many vehicles is to

develop modem public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars.If the price of

petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people

will not have private cars.And the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly.People

would find more room to walk, to jog, to perform what they used to do in the open air.Moreover,dirt, noise exhaust, parked cars, and smog would decrease greatly.There is no inherent incompatibility between man in an urban setting and the automobile.But we don't want cars to seize our living space.We take for granted that everyone could enjoy the

pleasure of stretching his legs freely, breathing and sniffing the air cheerfully.On the whole, the

elimination of air pollution needs the co-efforts from the government, the public and the

environments.SECTION BNOTE-WRITING

PARTⅡDICTATION

The Railway in Britain

The success of early railways, such as the lines between big cities, /led to a great increase in railway building in Victorian times./Between 1835 and 1865, about 25 thousand kilometers of track were built, /and over 100 railway companies were created./

Railway travel transformed people's lives./Trains were first designed to can-y goods./However, a law in the 19th century forced railway companies to run one cheap train a day, /which stopped at every station and cost only a penny a mile./Soon working class passengers found they could afford to travel by rail./Cheap day excursion trains became popular and seaside resorts grew rapidly./The railways also provided thousands of new jobs, /building carriages, running the railways, and repairing the tracks./ Railways even changed the time./The need to run railways on time meant the local time was abolished / and clocks showed the same time all over the country.PARTⅢLISTENING COMPREHENSION

Should Private Car Owners Be Taxed for Pollution?

Along with the increasing environmental pollution, the measures for protecting environment are widely taken in the world, among which levying environmental taxes is considered to be effective.Since car sales have reached a historic peak these days, the government suggests that private car owners should be taxed for pollution.As far as I’m concerned, it’s not so much a solution as a gesture，because basically it can’t alleviate the pressing environmental issues.To begin with, though large in number, private car is not the only factor causing environmental pollution.If private car owners were taxed for pollution, other public vehicles, including buses and trains, should be taxed as well for the simple reason that they are also not environmental friendly.If not, complaints will accumulate concerning the unfairness, which thus will damage the harmony of our society.Also, taxing the private car owners fails to decrease the number of cars running on the road as expected.For those who are accustomed to it, an extra tax will never stop them from enjoying the convenience and pleasure of car driving.What’s more, levying a tax may make pollution becomes “reasonable”, because they would think they have paid for it.Obviously, it means nothing to protecting environment.As a result, it’s far from a good solution to tax private car owners for pollution, assuming it will solve environmental problems.On the contrary, immediate actions should be taken to develop new energy so as to cut down car pollution as a whole⑨.SECTION B NOTE-WRITING[10 MIN]

Money

Money is accepted across the world as payment for goods or services.People use money to buy food , clothes , and hundreds of other things.In the past many different things were used as money.People on Pacific islands once exchanged shells for goods.The Chinese used cloth and knives.In Africa , elephant tusks or salt were used.Even today some people in Africa are still paid in salt.Coins were first invented by the Chinese.Originally they were round pieces of metal with a hole in the center , so that a piece string could keep them together.this made doing business much easier , but people still found coins inconvenient to carry when they wanted to buy something expensive.To solve this problem the Chinese again came up with a solution.They began to use paper money for coins.Now paper money notes are used throughout the world.2005年英語專業(yè)四級考試真題Dictation

The Wristwatch

It is generally believed that wristwatches are an exception to the normal sequence in the evolution of men’s jewelry.Reversing the usual order , they were first worn by women and then adopted by men.I n the old days , queens included wristwatches among their crown jewelry.Later they were worn by Swiss workers and farmers.Until World War I , Americans associated the watch with fortune hunters.Then army officers discovered that the wristwatch was most practical for active combat.Race car drivers also loved to wear wristwatches without feeling self-conscious.By 1924 some 30% of men’s watches were worn on the wrist.Today the figure is 90% and they are now worn by both men and women for practical purposes rather than for decoration.07年英語專業(yè)真題聽力 Dictation

Advertising has already become a specialized activity in modern times.In today’s business world, supply is usually greater than demand.There is great competition between manufactures of the same kind of product because they want to persuade customers to buy their particular brand.They always have to remind their customers of the name and qualities of their products by advertising.The manufacture advertises in newspapers and on the radio.He sometimes employs sales girls to distribute

samples of their products.He sometimes advertises on the Internet as well.In addition, he always has advertisements put into television programs that will accept them.Manufactures often spend huge sums of money on advertisements.We buy a

particular product because we think that is the best.We usually think so because the

advertisements say so.People often don’t ask themselves if the advertisements are telling the truth when they buy advertised products from shops.2010年英語專業(yè)四級考試真題Dictation

第五篇：2014年英語專業(yè)四級考試真題

The Victorians had become addicted to speed and, like all speed crazy kids, they wanted to go ever faster.Time was money and efficiency became increasingly important.Although division of labour had been conceived by Adam Smith and illustrated by a pin factory in The Wealth of Nations in 1776, it could now become fully realised.This specialisation andindividualisation of labour was in marked contrast to the rural means of production, in which the family was the means of production, consumption and socialisation.With greater speed came a greater need for industries and businesses to make more and make it quicker.Steam made this possible and changed working life forever.Gone were the days when work was dictated by natural forces: steam engines were servant to neither season nor sunshine.Factories had foremen and life became correspondingly more regimented.The clocking-on machine was invented in 1885 and time and motion studies to increase efficiency would be introduced only some twenty years later.But it was not all bad news.Agricultural incomes depended on variable harvests and weather.Factories provided secure and predictable income, but long hours.Working life was becoming increasingly regulated, and the working week was reorganised to promote ever-greater efficiency.The old custom of St.Mondaywas gradually phased out and to compensate, work stopped around midday on Saturday and did not resume until Monday morning.A new division between 'work' and 'leisure' emerged, and this new block of weekend leisure time coincided with the development of spectator sports like cricket and football, and the rise of music hall entertainment for the new working classes.特性他

After breakfast the boys wandered out into the play-ground.Here the day-boys were gradually assembling.They were sons of the local clergy, of the officers at the Depot, and of such manufacturers or men of business as the old town possessed.Presently a bell rang, and they all trooped into school.This consisted of a large, long room at opposite ends of which two under-masters conducted the second and third forms, and of a smaller one, leading out of it, used by Mr.Watson, who taught the first form.To attach the preparatory to the senior school these three classes were known officially, on speech days and in reports, as upper, middle, and lower second.Philip was put in the last.The master, a red-faced man with a pleasant voice, was called Rice;he had a jolly manner with boys, and the time passed quickly.Philip was surprised when it was a quarter to eleven and they were let out for ten minutes' rest.The whole school rushed noisily into the play-ground.The new boys were told to go into the middle, while the others stationed themselves along opposite walls.They began to play Pig in the Middle.The old boys ran from wall to wall while the new boys tried to catch them: when one was seized and the mystic words saidhe became a prisoner and, turning sides, helped to catch those who were still free.Philip saw a boy running past and tried to catch him, but his limp gave him no chance;and the runners, taking their opportunity, made straight for the ground he covered.Then one of them had the brilliant idea of imitating Philip's clumsy run.Other boys saw it and began to laugh;then they all copied the first;and they ran round Philip, limping

grotesquely, screaming in their treble voices with shrill laughter.They lost their heads with the delight of their new amusement, and choked with helpless merriment.One of them tripped Philip up and he fell, heavily as he always fell, and cut his knee.They laughed all the louder when he got up.A boy pushed him from behind, and he would have fallen again if another had not caught him.The game was forgotten in the entertainment of Philip's deformity.One of them invented an odd, rolling limp that struck the rest as supremely ridiculous, and several of the boys lay down on the ground and rolled about in laughter: Philip was completely scared.He could not make out why they were laughing at him.His heart beat so that he could hardly breathe, and he was more frightened than he had ever been in his life.He stood still stupidly while the boys ran round him, mimicking and laughing;they shouted to him to try and catch them;but he did not move.He did not want them to see him run any more.He was using all his strength to prevent himself from crying.特性同

For parents who send their kids off to college saying, “These will be the best years of your life,” it would be very appropriate to add, “If you can handle the stress of college life.”

Freshmen are showing up already stressed out, according to the latest CIRP Freshman Survey that reported students' emotional health levels at their lowest since the survey started in 1985.While in school, more students are working part-time and near-full-time jobs.At graduation, only 29 percent of seniors have jobs lined up.Pressure to excel often creates stress, and many students are not learning how to effectively handle this stress.1)Stress can make smart people do stupid things: Stress causes what brain researchers call “cortical inhibition.” In simple terms, stress inhibits a part of the brain responsible for decision-making and reaction time and can adversely affect other mental abilities as well.2)The human body doesn't discriminate between a big stressful event and a little one: Any stressful experience will create a cascade of 1,400 biochemical events in your body.If any amount of stress is left unchecked, many things can occur within the body, including premature aging, impaired cognitive function and energy drain.3)Stress can become your new norm: When you regularly experience

negative feelings and high amounts of stress, your brain recognizes this as your normal state.This then becomes the new norm, or baseline for your emotional state.4)Stress can be controlled: Countless studies demonstrate that people can restructure their emotional stateusing emotion-refocusing techniques.These techniques help you recognize how you are feeling and shift to a more positive emotional, mental and physical state.5)Stress less by loving what you study: Barbara Frederickson, a leading international authority on the importance of positive emotions, says humans are genetically programmed to seek positive emotions such as love and joy.It's

suggested to choose a major or career path you love and enjoy.Otherwise, you could end up fighting against your own biology.TEXT C

For anyone who doubts that the texting revolution is upon us, consider this: The average 13-to 17-year-old sends and receives 3,339 texts a month—more than 100 per day, according to the Nielsen Co., the media research firm.Adults are catching up.People from ages 45 to 54 sent and received 323 texts a month in the second quarter of 2010, up 75% from a year ago, Nielsen says.Behind the texting explosion is a fundamental shift in how we view our mobile devices.That they are phones is increasingly beside the point.Part of what's driving the texting surge among adults is the popularity of social media.Sites like Twitter, with postings of no more than 140 characters, are creating and reinforcing the habit of communicating in micro-bursts.
