一、作文
　　【作文(一)】
　　The Impact of the Mobile Phone in People’s Life
　　The thought-provoking drawing mirrors a common phenomenon in contemporary society that
there is the negative influence of mobile phone. As is subtly shown in the picture，so many
people are too much addicted to cell phones that they use walking sticks to see the road. What a
meaningful cartoon!
　　It is to me that indulging in mobile phones produces native influences on body and mind.
First and foremost, overusing mobile phones is detrimental to physical health for watching
mobiles for a long stretch definitely impairs one’s eyesight. Suppose that a man is addicted in cell
phones in whatever situation, it will be very disadvantageous for him to concentrate on his work,
learning, or daily life and is very likely to hurt him. Furthermore, overusing cell phones adversely
affects state of mind. An addict may stay inside his bubble instead of pursuing other endeavors,
which eventually prevents the growth of think skills.
　　It is high time that we took effective measures to curb this trend. I cherish a belief that cell
phones themselves are not good or bad and we can benefit a lot from it as long as we take a good
control over them.
　　【作文(二)】
　　The Impact of the Internet on the Way People Communicate
　　网络对人们沟通产生的影响
　　Internet does exert such a profound effect on our life that it revolutionizes the way of
people’s living and thinking. As is subtly revealed in the portrayal，there are two parents sitting
in the front of computer，who are chatting with their child on the internet. What a meaningful
picture!
　　From my perspective, the electronic contact cannot replace face to face communication
owing to the following factors. To begin with, over-reliance on electronic contact will damage the
interpersonal relationship, for the cold machine never replaces a warm-hearted greeting face to
face. For example, the aged parents would like their only son who works far away home to come
back home more often rather than to talk with him on the internet occasionally. What’s more, face
to face communication is preferable because it is beneficial to build a harmonious society, for it
attaches more importance on human affection and feelings instead of convenience and speed.
　　Hence, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way. After all, Internet is invented
to connect you and me, and to bring conveniences to our life rather than set a barrier to keep
people beyond reach. If we want to keep our interpersonal relationship more effectively, we
should spend more time with them face to face in real life. Only in this way can we not only make
full use of the communication tool on the net but also make our relationship tighter.
二、听力测试（原文）
　　2013 年12 月大学英语四级听力真题 原文：听力短对话
　　Question 1
　　M: After high school, I’d like to go to college and major in business administration.
　　W: But I’d rather spend my college days finding out how children learn.
　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
　　Question 2
　　W: Is everything ready for the conference?
　　M: The only thing left to do is set up the microphones and speakers. They'll be here in a few
minutes.
　　Q: What preparations have yet to be made?
　　Question 3
　　W: Is it almost time to go home now? I'm so tired. I can hardly see straight.
　　M: Just a few more minutes, then we can go.
　　Q: What is the woman’s problem?
　　Question 4
　　W: I'm not sure what I’m in a mood for. Ice-cream or sandwiches? They are both really good
here.
　　M: The movie starts in an hour. And we still have to get there and park. So just make a
decision.
　　Q: What does the man mean?
　　Question 5
　　W: Tom said he would come to repair our solar heater when he has time.
　　M: He often says he is willing to help, but he never seems to have time.
　　Q: What does the man imply about Tom?
　　Question 6
　　W: So you know that Sam turns down the job offered by the travel agency.
　　M: Yes. The hours were convenient. But if he had accepted it, he wouldn’t be able to make
ends meet.
　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
　　Question 7
　　M: Could you tell me a bit about the business your company is doing?
　　W: We mainly deal with large volume buyers from western countries and our products have
been well received.

　　【四级听力长对话原文 1】
　　M: Excuse me, I need some information about some of the towns near here.
　　W: What would you like to know?
　　M: Well, first, I'd like directions to go to Norwalk. I believe there is an interesting museum
there. It isn't far, is it?
　　W: No, not at all. Norwalk is about eighteen miles east of here on Route 7. And you're right.
It's a wonderful little museum.
　　M: Oh good. Now what about Amitsville? I have some friends. I'd like to visit there and I
also want to get to Newton. They are near each other, aren't they?
　　W: Hmm... well, they are actually in opposite directions. Amitsville is northeast. It's about
thirty five miles northeast of here.
　　M: Huh-uh, thirty five miles northeast. And how about Newton?
　　W: Well, Newton is in the other direction. It's southwest, so it isn't really very close to
Amitsville at all and it's a long drive. It's about fifty five miles southwest from here and the road is
not at all straight.
　　M: Fifty five miles southwest! Well, maybe I won't go there this time.
　　W: I'd recommend visiting Westfield or Great Town. They are both very close. Westfield is
just seven miles west of here and Great Town is about five miles south. They are really pretty little
towns with lots of old houses and beautiful tree-lined streets.
　　M: I see. Seven miles west to Westfield and five miles south to Great Town. Good. Well, I
think that's all the information I need for a while. Thank you. You've been very helpful.
　　W: You're welcome, sir. I hope you enjoy your stay.
　　Q9: What does the man know about Norwalk?
　　Q10: What does the woman say about Amitsville and Newton?
　　Q11: What do we learn about Westfield and Great Town?
　　【四级听力长对话原文 2】
　　M: Err... Sandra, I've finished with Mr. Gordon now. Do you think you could pop through in
bringing me up-to-date on their arrangements for the Italian trip?
　　W: Certainly, Mr. Wilkinson. I'll bring everything with me.
　　M: Right, take a seat. Now my first meeting is when?
　　W: Your first meeting is on Monday the 21st at 9a.m. with Dr. Gucci of Bancos en Piedra in
Milan.
　　M: OK, so can I fly out early Monday morning?
　　W: Well, there is a flight to Lenarty Airport which leaves at six thirty London time and gets
in at eight thirty Italian time.
　　M: Yeah, but that only leaves me thirty minutes to clear customs in getting to the city center
and it means I have to check in by five thirty, which means leaving home at about four fifteen.
　　W: I'm afraid so.
　　M: Hmm... not so keen on that. What's the program for the rest of that day?
　　W: It's quite full, I'm afraid. At eleven, you're seeing Jeana Rivard at Meg Star and then you'll
have a lunch engagement with Gaven from the Chamber of Commerce at one.
　　M: Where's that?
　　W: You're meeting him at his office and then he's taking you somewhere.
　　M: Good, that sounds fine. What about the afternoon?
　　W: Well, at three thirty, you're seeing our sales representative there and then you're free till
evening.
　　M: I see. I seem to remember that I'm having a dinner with someone from Bergamo.
　　W: That's right. And Mr. Betty from SAP Industries at eight.
　　Q12: What would the man like the woman to do?
　　Q13: At what time is Mr. Wilkinson going to leave home for the airport?
　　Q14: Who is Mr. Wilkinson going to have a lunch with on Monday?

　　Listening Passage 1
　　Donna Fredrick’s served with the Peace Corps for two years in Brazil. She joined the Peace
Corps after she graduated from the college because she wanted to do something to help other
people. She had been brought up on a farm, so the Peace Corps assigned her to a agricultural
project. Before she went to Brazil, she studied Portuguese for three months. She also learnt a great
deal about its history and culture. During her two years with the Peace Corps, Donna lived in a
village in northeast Brazil. That part of Brazil is very dry and farming is often difficult there.
Donna helped the people of the village to organise an arrigation project, and she also advised them
on planting corps. They didn’t require much water. When Donna returned to the States, she
couldn’t settle down. She tried several jobs, but they seemed very boring to her. She couldn’t get
Brazil out of her mind. Finally, one day she got on an plane and went back to Brazil. She wasn’t
sure what she’s going to do. She just wanted to be there. After a few weeks, Donna found a job as
an English teacher, teaching five classes a day. Like most of the teachers, she doesn’t make much
money. She shares a small apartment with another teacher. And she makes a little extra money by
sending stories to newspapers in the States. Eventually she wants to quit teaching and work as a
full-time journalist.

　　Listening Passage 2
　　Results of a recent Harry’s pool on free time showed that the average work week for many
Americans is 50 hours. With the time spent eating, sleeping and taking care of the household
duties, there’s little time left for leisure activities for many Americans. However, having free time
to relax and pursue hobbies is important. People need time away from the pressures of study or
work to relax and enjoy time with friends and family. In many countries free time is spent in
different ways. The results of a Harry’s pool showed that reading was the most popular spare time
activity in the US. This was followed by watching TV. In a UK survey on leisure time activities,
watching TV and videos was the most popular. Listening to the radio came second. In a similar
survey conducted in Japan, the most popular free time activity was eating out. The second most
popular activity was driving. There were also differences in the most popular outdoor pursuits
between the three countries. The most popular outdoor activity for Americans was gardening. In
the UK, it was going to the pub. In Japan, going to bars ranked eighth in popularity and gardening
ranked ninth. Although people around the world may enjoy doing similar things in their free time,
there’s evidence to suggest that these interests are changing. In the US, for example, the popularity
of computer activities is increasing. Many more people in the States are spending their free time
surfing the web, emailing friends or playing games online.
　　Question 20
　　What is the recent Harry Pole about?
　　Question 21
　　What was the most popular leisure activity in the US?
　　Question 22
　　What was the most popular outdoor pursuit in the UK?
　　Listening Passage 3
　　On March 13th, while on duty Charles Mclaughlin, a very careless driver employed by the
company Lummis was involved in another accident. The accident occurred in Riverside
California. Not paying attention to his driving, Mclaughlin turned right on main street and 33rd
street and hit Volkswagen rabbit. This caused minor damage to his truck and serious damage to
the car. On the basis of the police report, the Lummis accident committee correctly determined
that Mclaughlin had been quite careless. As a result of the committee’s conclusion, the branch
manager Mr. David Rossi reported that he had talked with Mclaughlin about his extremely poor
driving record. Further evidence of Mclaughlin's irresponsibility occurred on May 6th when he
was returning from his shift. That day he ran into a roll-up door at the Lummis facility in Valero,
causing significant damage to the door. Damage to the truck, however, was minor. Finally, on
June 7th, Mclaughlin once again demonstrated his carelessness by knocking down several mail
boxes near the edge of the company’s parking lot. There was damage to the mailboxes and minor
damage to the truck. Mr. David Rossi stated that he had spoken with Mclaughlin on several
occasions about his driving record. He added that he had warned Mclaughlin that three
preventable accidents in one year could lead to his discharge, as indeed it should.
　　23. What did the Lummis accident committee find out about the accident that occurred on
March 13th?
　　24. What did Mclaughlin do on June 7th near the edge of the company’s parking lot?
　　25. What is most probably going to happen to Mclaughlin?
　　【听力填空】：
　　When Captain Cook asked the chiefs in Tahiti why they always ate apart and alone, they
replied, “Because it is right.” If we ask Americans why they eat with knives and forks, or why
their men wear pants instead of skirts or why they may be married to only one person at a time, we
are likely to get similar and very uninformative answers because it’s right, because that’s the way
it’s done, because it’s the custom or even I don’t know. The reason for these and countless other
patterns of social behavior is that they are controlled by social norms shared rules or guide lines
which prescribe the behavior that is appropriate in a given situation. Norms define how people
ought to behave under particular circumstances in a particular society. We conform to norms so
readily that we are hardly aware they exist. In fact we are much more likely to notice departures
from norms than conformity to them. You will not be surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands
when you were introduced, but you might be a little startled if they bowed, started to stroke you or
kissed you on both cheeks. Yet each of these other forms of greeting is appropriate in other parts
of the world. When we visit another society whose norms are different, we quickly become aware
that things we do this way, they do that way.
【四级长对话】
　　9. B) It has an interesting museum.
　　10. A) They are in opposite directions.
　　11. C) They have lots of old houses.
　　点评：
　　显然长对话第一篇属于比较常见的“问路”话题。因此考生在考试中听到开头一两句
之后可以在试题册空白之处画一个简单的方位图或画一张 list，在介绍景点时，可以在相应
方位把地名和距离迅速对号入座地记下。避免听时候，因为信息量过大头脑一片混乱。
