W: I’m going to leave work early today. There’s a debate this evening at 6 o’clock. So I’m going to get an early dinner and head over there. M: Who’s debating about what?
W: The two candidates for the State Senate are going to answer questions from reporters. The Daily News is sponsoring the event. Members of the audience will also have a chance to ask questions一so maybe I’ll speak, too.
M: Oh, so you’re interested in politics. Are you helping one of them?
W: No. I just want to learn more about the candidates so that I can make an informed decision. M: Well, I don’t think I’ll be voting, so I guess I won’t bother with that. W: Why aren’t you going to vote? M: Oh. my vote doesn’t matter. W: Sure it does!
M: Well... besides that... I don’t think any of the politicians these days represent my ideas. I’d like to see the government support guaranteed loans for people who want to start small businesses. I’ve wanted to open my own bakery for years and I can’t get a loan.
W: You know what? That’s one of the issues they’ll probably discuss tonight. One of the candidates wants tax breaks for large companies. He says that will create more jobs. The other candidate owns a restaurant. She wants to start programmes to promote more small businesses. M: Hmm... What do you know? Maybe I should show up there myself. 23.

The British education system can be very confusing to an outsider. It is often not understood very well by the British themselves. This is because Britain does not really have an education system. Most of the control over the organization of education is in the hands of local, not central government. The result is that the system can vary from area to area.
大 学 英 语 四 级 十 套 模 拟 题 答 案 6 C C E T All children, however, have to go to school at the age of five, and they stay there until they reach the school leaving age, which is sixteen.
Children start their education in a primary school, where they usually stay until they are eleven. They then move to a comprehensive school. In some areas, however, they go to a middle school at about the age of ten, and then move to a comprehensive school when they are thirteen. Middle schools are larger than primary schools, but smaller than comprehensive schools. They aim to prepare students for the larger, more formal comprehensive schools.

In China it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the West this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true of women, and even more so if the enquirer is a man.
However, it is very normal to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind being asked either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to reveal their age, especially if they feel they look young for their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a direct question like “How old are you?” If elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily bring up the topic themselves, and ask the other person to guess how old they are. In such a situation, it is quite acceptable to discuss age freely. They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though, rather than to be told that they look very old!
29. What is thought to be impolite in the West, according to this passage?
B 文中第一段第一句话表明，在西方，询问年龄通常会被认为是不礼貌的。 30. Why do some elderly people like to reveal their age?
A 文中第二段第二句话表明，如果老人认为自己比实际年龄看起来年轻时，就很愿意透露自己的年龄。
31. What do people expect to be told when talking about age?
C 文中最后一句话表明，人们通常希望别人恭维自己看起来很年轻。 Passage Three
Many people believe that Americans love their cars almost more than anything else. It may be true. From the time youngsters become fourteen years old they are likely to dream of having their own car. Many young people work after school during their last year of high school in order to buy a car. Learning to drive and obtaining a driver’s license may be one of the most exciting times of a young person’s life.
People who almost never go to a doctor when they are sick will take their cars to a mechanic at the first sign of a problem. Those who do not like to work around the home on Saturdays may devote most of that day to washing and waxing their cars.
For some families it’s not enough to have one car. They often have two or even three ----- one for work and

Section C
Listening is an extremely complex communicative activity. In his book Principles and Implications of Cognitive Psychology, Neisser defines listening as “a temporally extended activity”, in which the listener continuously (36) develops more or less specific readiness for what will come next. In other words, an (37) effective listener is constantly setting up hypothesis in his mind, and also, he is constantly testing his hypothesis by matching it with what he has heard in reality. If he hears what he has expected, he receives the information. But if what he hears is totally out of his (38) expectation, he fails to get the message. The skill to (39) anticipate what is coming in listening comprehension depends largely on the listener’s (40) familiarity with the theme of the message. It also depends on the listener’s (41) knowledge of the speaker as well as the setting.
Obviously, when we listen to something that we already have some information about, it is generally a lot easier for us to take in the new information. Therefore, pre-listening (42) preparation seems to have a big role to play in (43) enhancing listening comprehension. Before actual listening, (44) we could perhaps first give some thought to the topic, discuss it with others, read some related materials and do some vocabulary work. If we could make ourselves fully oriented for the forthcoming talks or lectures, we are more likely to become effective listeners.
Of course, readiness beforehand is not at all enough. (45) Active thinking must take place all the way through. In fact, we should always try to think ahead of the speaker. The ability to anticipate helps us in logical and intelligent guesswork. (46) It does not only enable us to know generally what a person is going to talk about in a certain situation, but also sometimes even exactly what a person’s next utterance is going to be in a discussion. 8

Passage One
57. D raise chickens 【精解】文章第一段讲述印度尼西亚人和鸡的密切关系：鸡带来经济收益，同时使他们精神放松。在印尼，鸡与人们的日常生活密不可分。D符合文意。【排除】A\卖鸡\和B \吃鸡\都不够确切：村民养了鸡不一定要卖；另一方面，村民养鸡并不一定是为了自己食用。C是比较大的干扰项。文章说到, It’s not unusual for Indonesians to sleep with their birds...但not unusual在语义上与usually并不等同。【点拨】理解关键语句的隐藏含义。
58. D International public-health experts come to Indonesia to give their hands. 【精解】文章第二段在讲完禽流感疫情的严峻状况后，第三段紧接着讲述印尼以及国际社会对此采取的措施。印尼政府下拨资金抗击禽流感，美国和农业部一道成立流感专项基金，调遣兽医专家教育和帮助农民抗击禽流感。由此可知，国际公共卫生专家奔赴印尼，协助抗击禽流感的说法是正确的。【排除】A \该流行性疾病已经得到控制\明显错误。B \人对禽流感有免疫力\的说法根据常识即可判断是错误的。C \世界范围内已有79人死于禽流感\的说法和文章内容不符，文章第二段说到，印尼有79人死于禽流感，比其他国家的死亡病例多，那么可知世界范围的总数字一定大于79。【点拨】文章题材是社会热点问题，结合常识和文章内容进行判断。 59.

A If the villagers in Indonesia go back to the old habit of sleeping with birds, bird flu will spread worldwide. 【精解】上文说到，国际社会在携手帮助印尼对付禽流感，但禽流感全面爆发的可能性依然存在。根据语义逻辑可知，此处是说如果印尼人继续和鸡共栖，那么禽流感会在世界范围爆发。A正确。【排除】B\禽流感停止的时候，世界上的所有国家将会为其危害买单。\不符合文意，因为文章并没有提到流感停止，而是对流感全面爆发表示担忧。C \如果人们和鸡共栖，人会感染流感。”该句话本身是正确的，但并不是题干所表达的意思，因为该选项没有说流感在世界范围内爆发的严峻性。D \当鸡入室栖息，流感会影响到印尼人民。”该句话本身是正确的，但不符合题干的意思，题干是说禽流感会波及全球。【点拨】准确理解题干，注意题支要和题干匹配。 Passage Two
62. C Nature allows people to choose self-preservation. 【精解】该题目的解题线索在文章首段。该段首句指明：自我保护是最强大的本能。第二句和第三句话进一步阐释，否定自我保护就是否定人的天性。第四句话笔锋一转，转而讲到：为了保护别人的生命而放弃自保本能时，个人所需要做的心理准备：个人要勇于自我牺牲，并且明白自己此时可能甚至必须要付出生命。C \天性使人进行自我保护\是符合该段前三句话的意思的。【排除】A是具体事件，在首段中没有体现。B \超人认为死亡是可能的\是对首段第四句话的片面理解。该句话是说，在保护别人生命的时候，人必须有可能会牺牲的思想意识，而不是说超人的生死观。D \英雄愿意自我牺牲\同样是对首段第四句话的片面理解。该句话是说愿意自我牺牲是个人在保护他人生命的时候所需要的心理准备，而不是说英雄就愿意牺牲自己的生命。【点拨】对所考查的关键段落分层次理解，把握中心内容。
63. C He is an employee of a tour company 【精解】由题支可知，此题是考查故事主人公身份的，故解题线索定位在文章第二段。该段第三句明确指出：Seol是一家旅行社的实习生，帮助韩国游客从北京回国。因此，C \他受雇于一家旅行社\正确。【排除】A \他是从中国返回的游客\他是一家旅行社的雇主” 和D\他是从韩国返回的乘客\均不正确。【点拨】确定解题线索，准确理解细节。 64.
