The use of translation apps is

On the one hand, these

for those who have no knowledge of a foreign

have a variety of difficulties or
troubles in
learning English, but with the assistance of these

Conversation 1
M:How do
you like your new flexible work in arrangement? Do
you enjoy working
from home?
W:Yes and
no, I find an isolation challenging at times,
apart from my mother,
not too many people I
know, have time for phone chat during working
hour. I tried
the library but found I wasn’t
really keen on working there.
M:No, neither
would I. I find the library a bit too quiet. I’d
lack inspiration
or stimulation, which would
be counter-productive to getting a lot of work
done.
W:I found the same thing. So, lately,
I’ve been going out to Cafes occasionally,
I
love the noise, the people, the busyness of a
Café, the sense of being out in the
world.
M: Coffee shops seem to have affectively
become off spaces for so many people
in this
digital age. Though I’m not sure how Café owners
feel about it - having
so many people who go
to that places to work rather than drink and eat.
W:Yes, some people seem to spend a
lot of time there and not order much. The
most
annoying one for Café owners must truly be those,
usually only two of them,
who occupy a table
for six with their laptops and paperwork.
M:They should sit at a table for two, not the
table for six. Some obviously
stay so long,
they need to plug the laptops into a power
adapter. I nearly tripped
over someone’s
computer electrical lead the other day in my local
café.
W:It’s a double-edged sword, no doubt
about that, for a Café owner. While remote
workers help to keep the café full in quiet
times, they can take up valuable table
space
and busy period.

Conversation 2
W: I’m going to start working for another job. I
can’t see myself getting an
opportunity to
progress on my company anytime in the near future.
And I really think
my skills and abilities
deserve a higher salary.
M: You are not
going to quit, are you?
W: I’m thinking I
might as well. Then I can devote more time and
energy to find
me a better position at another
company.
M: But you’ve been in your present
company less than two years, haven’t you?
This
would be the third time you’ve left your job in
the last five years. If you
do several jobs in
a relatively short span of time, perspective
employers might see
that you lack loyalty.
That could make them worry and reluctant to employ
you.
W: Unfortunately, loyalty doesn’t pay.
Even if I get a promotion at my company,
it’s
likely to be less sizeable than if I were to get a
job elsewhere. And even
if I get a promotion,
I’m not guaranteed to get a raise. I had that
experience at
another company I worked up.
M: They want you to take on more work
and responsibility but for the same amount
of
money?
W: More or less, yes. The way I see
it, through having different jobs, I’ve
got a
lot of experience, and different jobs and in
different industries.
M: But potential
employers might worry about that experience is not
deep, or
thorough enough.
W: Perhaps,
but I feel pretty confident that I can sell
myself. You know what
they say, fortune favors
the brave.
Q12: What makes the woman think
about changing her job?
Q13: What does the

Q15: What benefit has the woman

Passage one
There is a
saying that goes something along the lines of ‘You
must love yourself
first before you can love
someone else.’ Similarly, I personally believe
that you
must be comfortable and happy in your
own company before you can truly be yourself
in the company of others. There is a massive
difference between being lonely and
being
alone. Loneliness is a horrible feeling. However,
you don’t have to actually
be alone to feel
that way. Many times, I’ve felt lonely when
surrounded by a big
group of people. In
contrast, being alone can actually be a blessing,
particularly,
when you’ve actively chosen it.
In my experience, being bored and alone is
dangerous
and can easily lead to the feeling
of loneliness. The trick is to be active. Get
outside, stretch your legs, do something
cultural, buy yourself something tasty to
eat
or something pretty to wear. You don’t have to
take anyone else into consideration
and can do
whatever you please. Spending time alone also
allows you to more
efficiently take care of
problems. And then, when it’s time to be social
and meet
up with your friends, you will be
fully there, because you won’t have too much other
stuff floating around in your mind. Having
been alone for a bit, you will also
appreciate
your friends’ company more and chances are your
time spent together will
be more worthwhile.
Question 16: What does the speaker say about
being alone?
Question 17: What does the
speaker say how to reduce one’s feeling of
loneliness?
Question 18: What is an
advantage of spending one’s time alone?

Watching more than
3 hours of television a day doubles memory loss in
older people,
a new study of more than 3,000
adults suggests. Scientist at University College
London used memory and fluency tests on the
same group of people 6 years apart. They
found
that those who watched on average less than 3
hours television a day showed
a decline ever
round 4 to 5 percent, while those who tended to
watch more than 3
hours a day declined by an
average of 8 to 10 percent. The research team say
they
believe the alert but passive nature of
television watching maybe creating stress
on
the mind, which contributes to memory decline.
Older people who watch more television are
also less likely to undertake
activities
knowing to preserve mental functioning, such as
reading or interactive
screen base pursuits,
such as using the internet or playing video games.
The
researchers say that television viewing
maybe a risk factor for all Alzheimer’s
disease, but more researches needed to
establish a link.
While watching television
may have educational benefits and relaxation
benefits,
the researchers advise that adults
over the age of 50 should try and ensure that
television viewing is balanced with other
contrasting activities. If you’re
concerned
that the amount of television you’re watching
could have a negative impact
on your health,
you should eliminate the amount of TV watch each
day and undertake
some healthy hobbies.
问题:
22. By what means does scientist at
University College London measure memory
lost?
23. What contributed to memory decline in
the participants?
24. What did the
researchers say about their finding concerning the
link between
TV viewing and xxx this disease?
25. What do the researchers suggest older
people do?

When I turned
twelve, I worked summers at my father’s small
brick cleaning
business. I remember the harsh
acid smell of the cleaning solution, and the
scraping
sound of stiff iron brushes against
rough brick. It was tempting to have your job
just finish. But anybody who worked for
Thomas Kahoon had to meet his standards,
and
that include of me. If I messed up, he made me
stay late until I got it right.
My father
wasn’t been me. He demanded the same at himself.
Every brick he cleaned
on the house stood out
like a red jewel in a white setting. It was his
signature.
In 1970, when I was twenty, I got
married. I moved out my parent's modest place
into a housing project.
Drugs and gang
violent were just beginning to plague the
projects.
Some of my friend went to jail.
Some were killed. My wife Verllen, was 18, and
nobody gave our marriage a chance. But we
believed in each other. And our faith made
us
strong.
When we married, I worked as a stock
clerk at Southwest Super Food. It was hard,
tedious work. Each Friday night a truck came,
with cases of food that had to be

priced and placed on shelves.
Most of stock
clerks try to get Friday night off. But I was
always ready to work.
By Saturday morning, all

Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage
with ten blanks. You are required
to select
one word for each blank from a list of choices
given in a word bank following
the passage.
Read the passage through carefully before making
your choices. Each
choice in the bank is
identified by a letter. Please mark the
corresponding letter
for each item on Answer
Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You
may not
use any of the words in the bank more

Questions 26 to 35 are based on
the following passage.
“Science and everyday
life cannot and should not be were the
words
uttered by pioneering British scientist Rosalind
Franklin, who firmly believed
that the pursuit
of science should be (26) to all.
As a woman
working in the first half of the 20th century,
Franklin’.s
contributions to some of the
greatest scientific discoveries of our time -
including
the structure of DNA - were sadly
(27) in her lifetime. One of my proudest
moments in my role as universities and
science
minister was being able to go some way to redress
this injustice last month,
by unveiling the
new Mars rover named after this brilliant British
scientist.
Today, on International Women’ s
Day, it is only right that we recognize the
important work of female scientists like
Franklin and seek to honour her memory by
inspiring more women and girls to follow in
her footsteps.
More than 60 years after
Franklin’ s death, we are (28) living in a
different
world, where women play an important
part in every echelon of our society-not least
in science, innovation, higher education and
research.
UK universities are world leaders
when it comes to advancing and (29) gender
equality. The Athena SWAN charter, initially
established to improve the
representation of
women in scientific disciplines in higher
education, now has 145
members. It has also
expanded to promote gender equality in multiple
disciplines-including the arts, social
sciences, humanities, business and law.
In
the past decade, we have seen a (30) increase in
England in the number of
women accepted on to
full-time undergraduate degrees in science,
technology,
engineering and maths (Stem
subjects). And in the last academic year, women
(31)
for more than half of all Stem
postgraduates at UK universities. The government
is
taking further steps to improve women’ s
representation in science and has today
awarded nine inspiring women ?50,000 to
develop inventions to tackle the challenges
and seize the opportunities we face as
a society. From new materials to cut down
on
plastics pollution to special devices to improve
posture and comfort for
wheelchair users,
these women are at the forefront of creating the
new technology
for tomorrow.
This is
significant progress, but access to higher
education is only half of
the equation. To
have real equality in the sector, we need to
ensure talented women
are able to progress
into the academic and leadership roles they
desire, and get
the remuneration they deserve.
Data shows us the (32) to success gets
harder for women to climb the further
up they
go.
Although women make up the majority of
undergraduates in our universities, just
under
half of academic staff are female. At (33) levels,
only a quarter of professors
are women, and
black women make up less than 2% of all female
academic staff.
I welcome the introduction
of pro-active strategies like the new initiative
at
the University of
Leicester, which I
am visiting today, to increase the number of
female professors
by 1.5% each year,with the
overall goal of having 30% professorships held by
women
by 2020.
There are also stark
differences in pay across grades. The gender pay
gap based
on median salaries across the sector
in 2016-17 was 13.7%, (34) there is still some
way to go to ensure women are rising through
the ranks to higher grade positions
and being
paid (35) .
答案:
26. A) accessible
27. J) overlooked

四级仔细阅读考试真题
仔细阅读:
第一篇:
It’s late in the evening: time to close
the book and turn off the computer.
You’re
done for the day. What you may not realize,
however, is that the learning
process actually
continues—in your might sound like science
fiction, but
researchers are increasingly
focusing on the relationship between the knowledge
and
skills our brains absorb during the day
and the fragmented, often bizarre imaginings
they generate at night. Scientists have found
that dreaming about a task we’ve
learned is
associated with improved performance in that
activity (suggesting that
there’s some truth
to the popular notion that we’re “getting” a
foreign language
once we begin dreaming in
it). What’s more, researchers are coming to
recognize
that dreaming is an essential part
of understanding, organizing and retaining what
we learn—and that dreams may even hold out the
possibility of directing our learning
as we
we sleep, research indicates, the brain replays
the patterns of
activity it experienced during
waking hours, allowing us to enter what one
psychologist calls a neural (神经的) virtual
reality. A vivid example of such
reenactment
can be seen in this video , made as part of a 2011
study by researchers
in the Sleep Disorders
Unit at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris. They
taught a
series of dance moves to a group of
patients with conditions like sleepwalking, in
which the sleeper engages in the kind of
physical movement that is normally inhibited
during slumber. They then videotaped the
subjects as they slept. Lying in bed, eyes
closed, the woman on the tape does a faithful
rendition of the dance moves she learned
earlier—“the first direct and unambiguous
demonstration of overt behavioral replay
of a
recently learned skill during human sleep,” writes
lead author Delphine
course, most of us are
not quite so energetic during sleep—but our
brains are busy nonetheless. While our bodies
are at rest, scientists theorize, our
brains
are extracting what’s important from the
information and events we’ve
recently
encountered, then integrating that data into the
vast store of what we
already know—perhaps
explaining why dreams are such an odd mixture of
fresh
experiences and old memories. A dream
about something we’ve just learned seems to
be
a sign that the new knowledge has been processed
effectively. In a 2010 study
published in the
journal Current Biology, researchers at Harvard
Medical School
reported that college students
who dreamed about a computer maze task they had
learned showed a 10-fold improvement in their
ability to navigate the maze compared
to participants who did not dream about
the Stickgold, one of the Harvard
researchers, suggests that studying right
before bedtime or taking a nap following
a
study session in the afternoon might increase the
odds of dreaming about the
material. But some
scientists are pushing the notion of enhancing
learning through
dreaming even further, asking
sleepers to mentally practice skills while they
slumber. In a pilot study published in The
Sport Psychologist journal in 2010,
University
of Bern psychologist Daniel Erlacher instructed
participants to dream
about tossing coins into
a cup. Those who successfully dreamed about the
task showed
significant improvement in their
real-life coin-tossing abilities. Experiments like
Erlacher’s raise the possibility that we could
train ourselves to cultivate skills
while we
slumber. Think about that as your head hits the
pillow tonight.
51. What is scientists’
finding about dreaming?
A) It involves
disconnected, weird images.
B) It resembles
fragments of science fiction.
C) Dreaming
about a learned task betters its performance.
D) Dreaming about things being learned disturbs
one’s sleep.
52. What happens when one
enters a dream state?
A) The body continues
to act as if the sleeper were awake.
B) The
neural activity of the brain will become
intensified.
C) The brain behaves as if it
were playing a virtual reality video game.
D) The brain once again experiences the learning
activities of the day.
53. What does the
brain do while we are sleeping?
A) It
systematizes all the data collected during the
day.
B) It substitutes old information with
new data.
C) It processes and absorbs newly
acquired data.
D) It classifies information
and places it in different files.
