2020年7月大学英语四级cet4试题及答案解析
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the use
of translation apps. You can start your essay with the sentence
translation apps is becomging increasingly popular. You should write at least 120
words but no more than 180 words.
破题思路:
首段:很多人在用翻译APP(现象)
中间段:翻译APP的利弊
尾段:我的建议
参考范文1:
The use of translation apps is becoming increasingly popular. Why? Admittedly,
in the contemporay society, an increasing number of people, with the help of
translation apps, find it convenient to read foreign literature or essays.
On the one hand, these apps can bring users greater efficiency and help them
save more time or energy, particularly for those who have no knowledge of a foreign
language. For instance, a host of people may have a variety of difficulties or
troubles in learning English, but with the assistance of these apps, it will not
be difficult for them to read and understand English materials. On the other hand,
it is these apps that cuase some learners to lose motivation for studying. With Apps
in hand, they are not willing to do their utmost to memorize new words, pratice
speaking or writing skills every day. Fianlly, they will fail to get a good command
of any foreign language.
I, as a college student, deem that it is of great necessity for youngsters to
use translations apps in a rational way. We should bear in mind that any translation
app is merely a tool. Provided that one intends to master a foreign language, it
is advisabel to practice each day instead of relying on translation apps.
译文:
翻译APP的使用变得越来越普遍流 行。为什么呢?不得不承认,在当今社会,在翻译APP

' this is what he said to us. The orange warning may be raised to red in some areas.
That is a warning for snow that has never been seen since the modern system came
into place in Scotland. The orange warning has been extended until 6 p.m. on Thursday.
Trains, planes and ferries are also likely to be affected, with wind chill that could
see parts of Britain feeling as cold as -15℃. The head of road policing said, 'I
would urge drivers to take extra care on the roads for their journeys. Drivers should
make sure they are prepared for their journey with warm clothing, food and drink,
sufficient fuel and a charged mobile phone. There could be significant traffic delays,
so please start to plan your journey now to consider if you really need to travel

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.
Questions
8. What does the woman say is the disadvantage of working from home?
9. What does the man say is counter-productive to getting work done in the
library?
10. What does the woman like about doing one’s work in a café?

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 man say about people who keep changing their jobs?
Q14: What does the woman say would happen even if she got promoted in her current
company?
Q15: What benefit has the woman gain from changing her jobs frequently?
——听力篇章(孤独感)
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
unloaded, 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 the kinds and drawers in my aisle would place with a label
facing smartly out, like a line of soldiers on review. That was my signature. I took
pride in a job nobody wanted.
19. What do we learn about the speaker’s father?
20. What does the speak say about the housing project?
21. What do we learn about the speaker as a stock clerk?

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)
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 than once.
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
28. O) thankfully
29. K) promoting
30. E) considerable
31. B) accounted
32. G) ladder
33. L) senior


34. N) suggesting
35. D) appropriately

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.
