2008 6月大学英语四级考试真题答案与精解
(试卷 A
Part Writing
范文:
Abundant recreational activities are available for people to release their strain and stress, ranging
from sports to online activities. There is going on a hot debate arguing whether they are good for
the public or not, especially for college students.
As for such a question, different people hold different views. Some believe that recreation is
helpful if we want to keep healthy physically and mentally. While there also sounds an opposite
voice, which claims that activities also bring many problems. For example, some young people are
easily addicted to the virtual world online, which affects their study seriously and may lead to
worse consequences as well.
  As for me, I hold a belief that recreational activities do more good than harm. They do give
us a good chance, and efficiency too. As long as we can arrange the time reasonably, they will
definitely provide more benefits for us.

D)
15. W: I’m so sorry, sir. And you’ll let me pay to have your jacket cleaned, won’t you?

marks on clothing.

Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea, and while they are out of the room, 19he
steals their money, handbag, whatever, and makes off with it.
M: But you know Jean, it’s partly their own fault. They should never let anyone like that in unless
you are expecting them.
W: It’s all very well to say that, but someone comes to the door and says electricity or gas. And
you automatically think they are ok. Especially if they flashed a card to you.
M: Does this man have an ID then?
W: 20 Yes, that’s just it. It seems he used to work for the electricity board at one time.
According to the paper, 21the police are warning people especially pensioners not to admit
anyone unless they have an appointment. It’s a bit sad. One old lady told them, 22she’s just
been to the post office to draw her pension, when he called, she said he must follow her home.
22He stole the whole lot.
M: but, what does he look like. Surely they must have a description.

bit like you actually.

the big tour operators, and the tourist organizations. 24As I speak Japanese, I had a very big
advantage.

W: Yes, I’ve had a lot. Cruises have become very popular with the Japanese both for holidays and
for business conferences. In fact, the market for all types of luxury holidays for the Japanese has
increased a lot recently.

Section B
Passage One
I think a lot about time and not just because it’s the name of the news organization I work for. Like
most working people, I find time or the lack of it, are never ending frustration and an unwinable
battle. My every day is 26 a race against the clock that I never ever seem to win. This is
hardly a lonesome complaint, according to the families and work institutes, national study of the
changing work force, 26 55% of the employees say they don’t have enough time for
themselves, 63% don’t have enough time for their spouses or partners, and 67% don’t have
enough time for their children. 27It’s also not a new complaint. I bet our ancestors returned
home from hunting wild animals and gathering nuts,27and complained about how little time
they had to paint battle scenes on their cave walls. The difference is that the boss of the animal
hunting and the head of nut gathering probably told them to “Shut up!” or “No survival for you!”
Today’s workers are still demanding control over their time, the difference is: today’s bosses are
listening. I’ve been reading a report issued today called When Work Works, produced jointly by 3
organizations. 28They set out to find and award the employers who employ the most creative
and most effective ways to give their workers flexibility. I found this report worth reading and
suggest every boss should read it for ideas.
26. What is the speaker complaining about?
A)
27. What does the speaker say about our ancestors?
A)
28. Why does the speaker suggest all bosses read the report by the 3 organizations?
D)
Passage Two
Loving a child is a circular business. The more you give, the more you get. The more you want to
give, Penalapy Leach once said. What she said proves to be true of my blended family. I was born
in 1931. As the youngest of six children, I learn to share my parents’ love. Raising 6 children
during the difficult times of the 29Great Depression took its toll on my parents’ relationship
and resulted in their divorce when I was 18 years old. Daddy never had very close relationships
with his children and drifted even farther away from us after the divorce. Several years later, a
wonderful woman came into his life, and they were married. She had two sons. One of them is
still at home. Under her influence we became a blended family and a good relationship developed
between the two families. 30 She always treated us as if we were her own children. It was
because of our other mother, daddy’s second wife, that he became closer to his own children. They
shared over 25 years together before our father passed away. At the time of his death, the question
came up of my mother, daddy’s first wife, attending his funeral. I will never forget the
unconditional love shown by my stepmother, when I asked her if she would object to mother
attending daddy’s funeral. Without giving it a second thought, she immediately replied, “Of course
not, honey, she is the mother of my children.”
29. According to the speaker, what contributed to her parents’ divorce?
B)
30. What brought the father closer to his children?
D)
31. What message does the speaker want to convey in this talk?
B)
Passage Three
