2015年12月英语四级真题及答案（卷二）
作者：网编整理&&来源：新东方论坛&&时间：
　　Part I Writing
　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying "Learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission." You can cite examples to illustrate the importance of lifelong learning. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
　　参考译文：
　　指令：对于本部分，允许你使用30分钟，针对“学习是一种日常经历和一种终生使命”这句话，写一篇短论文。你可以引用例子来阐释终身学习的重要性。你应该写至少120词，但不多于180词。
　　参考范文：
　　Currently in this constantly changing world, learning becomes a seemingly convenient but actually more complex matter. As an old saying goes,” Learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission”. Apparently, the meaning of this saying is that if we truly desire to learn something, we are supposed to devote our life to it.
　　There are several reasons accounting for this viewpoint. For one thing, learning itself is an actually complicated and painful matter, and as a result, it is advisable for us to commit much more time even our whole life to it. For another, it is exceedingly obvious that we are easy to forget what we learned, and accordingly, the significance of lifetime learning cannot be ignored. For example, memorizing vocabulary is commonly the first step of preparing for an English test. However, it is pretty difficult for us to put a huge number of new words in our mind. Therefore, we can divide these words into some groups and spend some hours each day on it in order to remember and understand these words.
　　To sum up, lifelong learning lays a solid foundation to the development of ourselves, and only when we realize the significance of lifetime learning can we understand the essence of learning.

　　M: Oh, all languages are difficult to learn. But English does have two great advantages.
　　W: What are they?

　　W: Why is that?
　　M: Well, partly because English speakers have travelled a lot. They bring back words with them, so English really does have an international vocabulary.

　　W: Why is that?
　　M: Well, it's quite interesting actually. It's because of the French. When the French ruled England, French was the official language and only the common people spoke English. They try to make the language as simple as possible, so they made the grammar easier.

　　Q: What does the speaker say about kites?
　　No one knows for sure just how old kites are. In fact, they have been in use for centuries. 25 centuries ago, kites were well-known in China. These first kites were probably made of wood. They may even have been covered with silk, because silk was used a lot at that time.
　　Early kites were built for certain uses. In ancient China, they were used to carry ropes across rivers. Once across, the ropes were tied down and wooden bridges were hung from them. Legend tales of one general who flew musical kites over the enemy’s camp. The enemy fled, believing the sounds to be the warning voices of angels. By the 15th centuries, many people flew kites in Europe. Marco Polo may have brought the kite back from his visit to China. The kite has been linked to great names and events. For instance, Benjamin Franklin used the kite to prove that lightening is electricity. He flew the kite in a storm. He did this in order to draw lightening from the clouds. He tied a metal key and a strip of silk to the kite line. The silk ribbon would stop the lightening from passing through his body. Benjamin’s idea was first laughed at, but later on it led to the invention of the lightening rod.
　　With such grand history, kite flying is sure to remain an entertaining and popular sport.

　　Passage Two
　　Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.
　　Question 19
　　【选项】
　　A.She enjoys teaching languages.
　　B.She can speak several languages.
　　C.She was trained to be an interpreter.
　　D.She was born with a talent for languages.
　　【答案】B
　　Q: What does the speaker say about herself?
　　I have learned many languages, but I have not mastered them the way a professional interpreter or translator has. Still, they have opened doors for me. They have allowed me the opportunity to seek jobs in international contexts and help me get those jobs. Like many people who have lived overseas for a while, I simply got crazy about it. I can’t imagine living my professional or social life without international interactions. Since 1977, I have spent much more time abroad than in the United States. I like going to new places, eating new foods and experiencing new cultures. If you can speak the language, it’s easier to get to know the country and its people. If I had the time and money, I would live for a year in as many countries as possible.
　　Beyond my career, my facility with languages has given me a few rare opportunities. Once just after I returned from my year in Vienna, I was asked to translate for a German judge at an Olympic level horse event. I learned a lot about the sport. In Japan, once when I was in the studio audience of a TV cooking show, I was asked to go up on the stage and taste the beef dish that was being prepared and tell what I thought. They asked, "Was it as good as American beef?" It was very exciting for me to be on Japanese TV speaking in Japanese about how delicious the beef was.
　　Question 20
　　【选项】
　　A.They acquire an immunity to culture shock.
　　B.They would like to live abroad permanently.
　　C.They want to learn as many foreign languages as possible.
　　D.They have an intense interest in cross-cultural interactions.

　　Q: How does the speaker’s experience of living in Vienna benefit her?
　　I have learned many languages, but I have not mastered them the way a professional interpreter or translator has. Still, they have opened doors for me. They have allowed me the opportunity to seek jobs in international contexts and help me get those jobs. Like many people who have lived overseas for a while, I simply got crazy about it. I can’t imagine living my professional or social life without international interactions. Since 1977, I have spent much more time abroad than in the United States. I like going to new places, eating new foods and experiencing new cultures. If you can speak the language, it’s easier to get to know the country and its people. If I had the time and money, I would live for a year in as many countries as possible.
　　Beyond my career, my facility with languages has given me a few rare opportunities. Once just after I returned from my year in Vienna, I was asked to translate for a German judge at an Olympic level horse event. I learned a lot about the sport. In Japan, once when I was in the studio audience of a TV cooking show, I was asked to go up on the stage and taste the beef dish that was being prepared and tell what I thought. They asked, "Was it as good as American beef?" It was very exciting for me to be on Japanese TV speaking in Japanese about how delicious the beef was.
　　Question 22

　　B.Take part in a cooking competition.
　　C.Teach vocabulary for food in.

　　Q: What do we learn about Ben Carson?
　　Doctor Ben Carson grew up in a poor single parent household in Detroit. His mother, who had only a third-grade education, worked two jobs cleaning bathrooms. To his classmates and even to his teachers, he was thought of as the dumbest kid in the class, according to his own not so fond memories. He had a terrible temper, and once threatened to kill another child. Doctor Carson was headed down a path of self-destruction until a critical moment in his youth. His mother, convinced that she had to do something dramatic to prevent him from leading a life of failure, laid down some rules. He could not watch television except for two programs a week, could not play with his friends after school until he finished his homework, and had to read two books a week and write book reports about them. His mother’s strategy worked. "Of course, I didn’t know she couldn’t read, so there I was submitting these reports." He said. "She would put check marks on them like she had been reading them. As I began to read about scientists, economists and philosophers, I started imaging myself in their shoes. As he got in the habit of hard work, his grades began to soar. Ultimately, he received a scholarship to attend Yale University. And later, he was admitted to the University of Michigan Medical School. He is now a leading surgeon at John’s Hopkins Medical School, and he’s also the author of three books.

　　Section B
　　Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
　　Joy: A Subject Schools Lack
　　Becoming educated should not require giving up pleasure.
　　A) When Jonathan Swift proposed, in 1729, that the people of Ireland eat their children, he insisted it would solve three problems at once: feed the hungry masses, reduce the population during a severe depression, and stimulate the restaurant business. Even as a satire (讽刺), it seems disgusting and shocking in America with its child-centered culture. But actually, the country is closer to his proposal than you might think.
　　B) If you spend much time with educators and policy makers, you’ll hear a lot of the following words: “standards,” “results,” “skills,” “self-control,” “accountability,” and so on. I have visited some of the newer supposedly “effective” schools, where children shout slogans in order to lean self-control or must stand behind their desk when they can’t sit still.
　　C) A look at what goes in in most classrooms these days makes it abundantly clear that when people think about education, they are not thinking about what it feels like to be a child, or what makes childhood an important and valuable stage of life in its own right.
　　D) I’m a mother of three, a teacher, and a developmental psychologist. So I’ve watched a lot of children-talking, playing, arguing, eating, studying, and being young. Here’s what I’ve come to understand. The thing that sets children apart from adults is not their ignorance, nor their lack of skills. It’s their enormous capacity for joy. Think of a 3-year-old lost in the pleasures of finding out what he can and cannot sink in the bathtub, a 5-year-old beside herself with the thrill of putting together strings of nonsensical words with her best friends, or an 11-year-old completely absorbed in a fascinating comic strip. A child’s ability to become deeply absorbed in something, and derive intense pleasure from that absorption, is something adults spend the rest of their lives trying to return to.
　　E) A friend told me the following story. One day, when he went to get his 7-year-old son from soccer practice, his kid greeted him with a downcast face and a sad voice. The coach had criticized him for not focusing on his soccer drills. The little boy walked out of the school with his head and shoulders hanging down. He seemed wrapped in sadness. But just before he reached the car door, he suddenly stopped, crouching (蹲伏) down to peer at something on the sidewalk. His face went down lower and lower, and then, with complete joy he called out, “Dad. Come here. This is the strangest bug I’ve ever seen. It has, like, a million legs. Look at this. It’s amazing.” He looked up at his father, his features overflowing with all those legs. This is the coolest ever.”
　　F) The traditional view of such moments is that they constitute a charming but irrelevant byproduct of youth——something to be pushed aside to make room for more important qualities, like perseverance (坚持不懈), obligation, and practicality. Yet moments like this one are just the kind of intense absorption and pleasure adults spend the rest of their lives seeking. Human lives are governed by the desire to experience joy. Becoming educated should not require giving up joy but rather lead to finding joy in new kinds of things: reading novels instead of playing with small figures, conducting experiments instead of sinking cups in the bathtub, and debating serious issues rather than stringing together nonsense words, for example. In some cases, schools should help children find new, more grown-up ways of doing the same things that are constant sources of joy: making art, making friends, making decisions.
　　G) Building on a child’s ability to feel joy, rather than pushing it aside, wouldn’t be that hard. It would just require a shift in the education world’s mindset (思维模式). Instead of trying to get children to work hard, why not focus on getting them to take pleasure in meaningful, productive activity, like marking things, working with others, exploring ideas, and solving problems? These focuses are not so different from the things in which they delight.
　　H) Before you brush this argument aside as rubbish, or think of joy as an unaffordable luxury in a nation where there is awful poverty, low academic achievement, and high dropout rates, think again. The more horrible the school circumstances, the more important pleasure is to achieving any educational success.
　　I) Many of the assignments and rules teachers come up with, often because they are pressured by their administrators, treat pleasure and joy as the enemies of competence and responsibility. The assumption is that children shouldn’t chat in the classroom because
instead, they should learn to delay gratification (快乐) so that they can pursue abstract goals, like going to college.
　　J) Not only is this a boring and awful way to treat children, it makes no sense educationally. Decades of research have shown that in order to acquire skills and real knowledge in school, kids need to want to learn. You can force a child to stay in his or her seat, fill out a worksheet, or practice division. But you can’t force the child to think carefully, enjoy books, digest complex information, or develop a taste for learning. To make that happen, you have to help the child find pleasure in learning——to see school as a source of joy.
　　K) Adults tend to talk about learning as unpleasant, but necessary and good for you. Why not instead think of learning as if it were food——something so valuable to humans that they have evolved to experience it as a pleasure?
　　注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
　　46. It will not be difficult to make learning a source of joy if educators change their way of thinking.
　　47. What distinguishes children from adults is their strong ability to derive joy from what they are doing.
　　48. Children in America are being treated with shocking cruelty.
　　49. It is human nature to seek joy in life.
　　50. Grown-ups are likely to think that learning to children is what medicine is to patients.
　　51. Bad school conditions make it all the more important to turn learning into a joyful experience.
　　52. Adults do not consider children’s feeling when it comes to education.
　　53. Administrators seem to believe that only hard work will lead children to their educational goals.
　　54. In the so-called “effective” schools, children are taught self-control under a set of strict rules.
　　55. To make learning effective, educators have to ensure that children want to learn.
　　参考答案：
　　46. G 该选项第一句和第二句明确指出，“培养小孩子感受快乐的能力不难，只需要改变教育的思维模式就可以哒”。
　　47. D 从该选项的“The thing that sets children apart from adults is not… It’s their enormous capacity for joy”一句便可看出。
　　48. A 该选项先举例说“曾经爱尔兰对儿童很残忍”，最后指出“美国其实也差不多啦”。

　　50. K 从该选项的第一句“Adults tend to talk about learning as if it were medicine”便可看出哒。
　　51. H 从该选项最后一句便可看出。
　　52. C 该选项的一句“when people think about education, they are not thinking about what it feels like to be a child…”证明其适合。
　　53. I 该选项指出，“学校的管理人员给教师施压，让他们给学生制定严格的规则和布置大量的作业”，所以可知他们觉得hard work是至关重要的。
　　54. B 该空很好找呀，所有选项只有一个B选项提到了effective schools，而且分析该选项，发现其整体也非常符合。
　　55. J 从该选项的第二句“Decades of research have…, kids need to want to learn”便可选出。
　　Passage One
　　Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
　　The wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping－where you hand over notes and count out change in return　now happens only in the most minor of our retail encounters，like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a comer shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. 　　And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge retail stores—Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance—you don’t go and stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.
　　Which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. But earning money isn’t quick or easy for most of us. Isn’t it a bit weird that spending it should happen in half a blink (眨眼) of an eye? Doesn’t a wallet—that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness—represent something that matters?
　　But I’ll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet—the way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets—is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone of an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as pebble (鹅卵石). Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.
　　56. What is happening to the wallet?
　　A) It is disappearing. C) it is becoming costly.
　　B) It is being fattened. D) It is changing in style.
　　57. How are business transactions done in big modern stores?
　　A) Individually. C) In the abstract.
　　B) Electronically. D) Via a cash register.
　　58. What makes the author feel uncomfortable nowadays?
　　A) Saving money is becoming a thing of the past.
　　B) The pleasing Friday-night feeling is fading.
　　C) Earning money is getting more difficult.
　　D) Spending money is so fast and easy.
　　59. Why does the author choose to write about what’s happening to the wallet?
　　A) It represents a change in the modern world.
　　B) It has something to do with everybody’s life.
　　C) It marks the end of a time-honoured tradition.
　　D) It is the concern of contemporary economists.
　　60.What can we infer from the passage about the author?
　　A)He is resistant to social changes.
　　B)He is against technological progress.
　　C)He feels reluctant to part with the traditional wallet.
　　D)He fells insecure in the ever-changing modern world.
　　参考答案
　　56.A——it isdisappearing
　　57.B——Electronically
　　58.D——Spending money isso fast and easy
　　59.A——It represents achange in the modern world
　　60.D——He feels insecurein ever-changing modern world
　　Passage Two
　　Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
　　Everybody sleeps—so goes the Sesame Street song meant for obstinately awake children。 That may be true， but what people stay up late to catch—or wake up early in order not to miss—varies by culture。
　　Around the world, people changed sleep patterns thanks to the start or end of daylight savings time. Russians, for example, began to wake up about a half-hour later each day after President Vladimir Putin shifted the country permanently to “winter time”starting on October 26.
　　Russia’s other late nights and early mornings generally correspond to public holidays. On New Year’s Eve, Russians have the world’s latest bedtime, hitting the hay at around 3:30 am.
　　Russians also get up an hour later on International Women’s Day, the day for treating and celebrating female relatives.
　　Similarly, Americans’ late nights late mornings, and longest sleeps fall on three-day weekends.
　　Canada got the least sleep of the year the night it beat Sweden in the Olympic hockey(冰球）final.
　　The World Cup is also chiefly responsible for sleep deprivation(剥夺）, The worst night for sleep in the U.K. was the night of the England-Italy match on June 14. Brits stayed up a half-hour later to watch it, and then they woke up earlier than usual the next morning thanks to summer nights, the phenomenon in which the sun barely sets in northern countries in the summertime. That was nothing, though, compared to　Germans, Italians, and the French, who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the Cup.
　　It should be made clear that not everyone has a device to record their sleep patterns, in some of these nations, it’s likely that only the richest people do. And people who elect to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person. Even if that’s the case, though, the above findings are still striking, If the most health-conscious among us have such deep swings in our shut-eye levels throughout the year, how much sleep are the rest of us losing?
　　61. What does the author say about people’s sleeping habits?
　　A) They are culture-related C)They change with the seasons.
　　B) They affect people’s health. D)They vary from person to person.
　　62.What do we learn about the Russians regarding sleep?
　　A) They don’t fall asleep until very late.
　　B) They don’t sleep much on weekends.
　　C) They get less sleep on public holidays.
　　D) They sleep longer than people elsewhere.
　　63.What is the major cause for Europeans’ loss of sleep?
　　A) The daylight savings time.
　　B) The colorful night life.
　　C) The World Cup.
　　D) The summertime.
　　64.What is the most probable reason for some rich people to use a device to record their patterns?
　　A) They have trouble falling asleep.
　　B) They want to get sufficient sleep.
　　C) They are involved in a sleep research.
　　D) They want to go to bed on regular hours.
　　65. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
　　A) Sleeplessness does harm to people’s health.
　　B) Few people really know the importance of sleep.
　　C) It is important to study our sleep patterns.
　　D) Average people probably sleep less than the rich.
　　参考答案及解析
　　61题，定位到第一段最后一句“varies by culture”，所以答案选A——They are culture-related。
　　62题，由题干的大写名词Russian定位到第二段和第三段。第二段的“Russian， for example， began to wake up about a half-hour later each day”这一句是干扰句，起得晚不一定睡得早，所以答案推不出“他们比其他地方的人睡得更久”。然后看到第三段“Russia’s other late nights and early mornings generally coincided with public holidays”，所以答案为C——They don’t sleep much on holidays。
　　63题，题干问的是欧洲人缺乏睡眠的major cause主要原因是什么，由题干的大写名词Europeans’ loss定位到倒数第二段的“compared to Germans， Italians， and the French， who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the Cup”，原文的Germans， Italians， and the French就是题干中“Europeans”的同义改写，而他们stayed up就是为了to watch the Cup，所以说他们缺乏睡眠的原因便是C选项——The World Cup。
　　64题，问的是富有的人使用设备来记录他们的睡眠模式的原因。由rich people以及device定位到最后一段第一句，定位句只说到了记录的事实，而非其原因。按照四级阅读金三句原则看到定位句的下一句“And people who elect to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person”，记录睡眠的人是想要得到比普通人更多的睡眠，所以答案是B——They want to get sufficient sleep。
　　65题，问的是作者在最后一段所表达的观点，定位到最后一句If the most healthconscious among us have such deep swings in our shuteye levels throughout the year， how much sleep are the rest of us losing？ 作者提到了health-conscious，人们对健康的意识是缺乏的，对健康是视而不见的，所以答案选B——Few people really know the importance of sleep。
