2019年6月大学英语四级真题及答案完整版（卷二）
Part I Writing
【题干】Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a news report
to your campus newspaper on a visit to a local farm organized by your Student Union.
You should write at least 120 words but no more than180 words.
【答案】An Impressive Activities-Visiting
In order to help us students to enrich life and broaden horizon, the Student Union
organized a meaningful activity on last weekend--visiting the local farm, by which
we grasped much useful knowledge about agriculture.
The farm we visited is located in the suburb of Beijing and far away from our school,
which covers an area of 1000 square feet. Along with native foods like rice and
potatoes, the farmers on the farm grow many organic vegetables, including corn,
cucumbers, tomatoes and so forth. Besides, the farm breeds a host of local species
such as dairy cattle, geese, chicken by modern scientific technique. One of the most
impressive things for us is that by means of green farming methods, the problem of
environmental pollution has been effectively alleviated.
This outdoors activity has a really deep impression for us. Not only did it get us
closer to the nature and relieve pressure from us, it also enhance our professional
knowledge about husbandry technology.[page]

A California television station in Fresno reported Tuesday that James Savage set
a record as the youngest swimmer to make the journey to the former prison.
The TV station reported that by completing the swim, the fourth-grader student from
Los Banos broke a record previously held by a 10-year-old boy.
James said that waves in the San Francisco Bay hitting him in the face 30 minutes
into his swim made him want to give up.
(2) His father said he had offered his son $$100 as a reward. To encourage his
struggling son, he doubled it to $$200.

News 2
On the 1st of January, new regulations will come into effect which eliminate an annual
leave bonus for people who put off marrying until the age of 23 for women, and 25
for men, the South China Morning Post reports. (3) The holiday bonus was designed
to encourage young people to delay getting married in line with China’s one child
policy. But with that policy now being abolished, this holiday incentive is no longer
necessary, the government says.
In Shanghai, a young couple at a marriage registration office told the paper that
they decided to register their marriage as soon as possible to take advantage of
the existing policy, because an extra holiday was a big deal for them. In Beijing,
one registration office had about 300 couples seeking to get married the day after
the changes were announced, rather than the usual number of between 70 and 80. (4)
But one lawyer tells the paper that the changes still have to be adopted by local
governments and these procedures take time, so people who are rushing to register
for marriage can relax.
Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.
Question 3: What was the purpose of the annual leave bonus in China?
A)To end the one-child policy.
B)To encourage late marriage.
C)To increase working efficiency.
D)To give people more time to travel.
答案：B
Question 4: What do we learn about the new regulations?
A)They will not be welcomed by young people.
B)They will help to popularize early marriage.
C)They will boost China’s economic growth.
D)They will not com into immediate effect.

Conversation 1
W: Kyle, how did your (8) driver's theory exam go? It was yesterday, right?
M: Yes, I prepared it as much as I could, but I was so nervous since it was my second
try. The people who worked at the test center were very kind, though. We had a little
conversation which calmed me down a bit, and that was just what I needed. Then, after
the exam, they printed out my result, but I was afraid to open it until I was outside.
It was such a relief to pass.
W: Congratulations! I knew you could do it! (9) I guess you underestimated how
difficult it would be the first time, didn't you? I hear a lot of people make that
mistake and go in underprepared. But good job in passing the second time. I'm so
proud of you. Now all you have to do next is your road test. Have you had any lessons
yet?
M: (10) Yes, thanks. I'm so happy to be actually on the road now. I've only had two
driving lessons so far and my instructor is very understanding. So I'm really
enjoying it and I can't wait for my next session although the lessons are rather
expensive. Twenty pounds an hour, and the instructor says, I'll need about 30 to

环球网校官网
40 lessons in total. That's what--six to eight hundred pounds! (11) So this time
I'll need to make a lot more effort and hopefully will be successful the first time.
M: Well, good luck!

Long conversation 2
M: Emma, I got accepted to the University of Leeds. Since you're going to university
in England, (12) do you know how much it is for international students to study there?
W: Congratulations! Yes, I believe for international students, you'll have to pay
around 13,000 pounds a year. It's just a bit more than the local students.
M: Ok, so that's about 17,000 dollars for the tuition and fees. (13) Anyway, I'm
only going to be there for a year doing my masters, so it's pretty good. If I stayed
in the US, it'd take two years and cost at least 50,000 dollars in tuition alone.
(14) Also, I have a good chance of winning a scholarship at Leeds, which will be
pretty awesome, the benefits of being a music genius.
W: (14) Yeah, I heard you're a talented piano player. So you're doing a post- graduate
degree now? I'm still in my last year graduating next June. Finally I'll be done
with my studies and can go on to earn in loads of money.
M: Are you still planning on being a teacher? No money in that job then?
W: You'd be surprised. (15) I'm still going to be a teacher. But the plan is to work
at an international school overseas after I get a year or so of experience in England.
It's better paid and I get to travel, which reminds me I'm late for my class and
I've got some documents I need to print out first. I'd better run.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
Question 12. What does the man want to know?

Section C
Directions: In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage,
you will hear three or four questions. Both the passage and the questions will be
spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from
the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on
Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.
Short passage 1
Scientists have identified thousands of known ant species around the world. And only
a few of them bug humans. Most ants live in the woods or out in nature, there they
keep other creatures in check, distribute seeds and clean dead and decaying materials
from the ground. (16) A very small percentage of ants do harm to humans. But those
are incredibly challenging to control. They are small enough to easily slip inside
your house, live in colonies that number in the tens of thousands to the hundreds
of thousands, and reproduce quickly. That makes them good at getting in and hard
to kick out. Once they settle in, these insects start affecting your home. In addition
to biting ants, other species can cause different kinds of damage. (17)Some, like
carpenter ants can undermine a home structure, while others interfere with
electrical units. Unfortunately our homes are very attractive to ants because they
provide everything the colony needs to survive, such as food, water and shelter.
So how can we prevent ants from getting into our homes? (18)Most important of all,
avoid giving ants any access to food, particularly sugary food because ants have
a sweet tooth. We also need to clean up spills as soon as they occur and store food
in airtight containers. Even garbage attracts ants, so empty your trash as often
as possible, and store your outside garbage in a lidded can well away from doors
and windows.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Question 16. What does the passage say about ants?
A) They help farmers keep diseases in check.
B) Many species remain unknown to scientists.
C) Only a few species cause trouble to humans.
D) They live in incredibly well-organized colonies.

答案：C
Question 17. What do we learn from the passage about carpenter ants?
A) They are larger than many other species.
B) They can cause damage to people’s homes.
C) They can survive a long time without water.
D) They like to form colonies in electrical units.
答案：B
Question 18. What can we do to prevent ants from getting into our homes?
A) Deny them access to any food.
B) Keep doors and windows shut.
C) Destroy their colonies close by.
D) Refrain from eating sugary food.
答案：A
Passage 2
(19) My research focus is on what happens to our immune system as we age. So the
job of the immune system is to fight infections. It also protects us from viruses,
and from autoimmune diseases. We know that as we get older, it’s easier for us to
get infections. So older adults have more chances of falling ill. This is evidence
that our immune system really doesn’t function so well when we age. In most of our
work, when we’re looking at older adults who’ve got an illness, we always have
to have health controls. So we work very closely with a great group of volunteers
called the ‘One Thousand Elders’. These volunteers are all 65 or over, but in good
health. (20) They come to the university to provide us with blood samples, to be
interviewed, and to help us carry out a whole range of research. (21) The real impact
of our research is going to be on health in old age. At the moment, we’re living
much longer. Life expectancy is increasing at two years for every decade. That means
an extra five hours a day. I want to make sure that older adults are still able to
enjoy their old age, and that they’re not spending time in hospital with infections,

feeling unwell and being generally weak. (21) We want people to be healthy, even
when they’re old.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Question 19. What is the focus of the speaker’s research?
A) The function of the human immune system.
B) The cause of various auto-immune diseases.
C) The viruses that may infect the human immune system.
D) The change in people’s immune system as they get older.
答案：D
Question 20. What are the volunteers asked to do in the research?
A) Report their illnesses.
B) Offer blood samples.
C) Act as research assistants.
D) Help to interview patients.
答案：B
Question 21. What does the speaker say will be the impact of his research?
A) Strengthening people’s immunity to infection.
B) Better understanding patients’ immune system.
C) Helping improve old people’s health conditions.
D) Further reducing old patients’ medical expenses.
答案：C

When Ted Camarda started teaching 14 years ago at Killip elementary, he didn’t know
how to manage a classroom and was struggling to connect with students. (22)He noticed
a couple of days after school, that a group of kids would get together to play chess.
“I know how to play chess, let me go and show these kids how to do it”, he said.
Now Camarda coaches the school’s chess team. The whole program started as a safe
place for kids to come after school.
(23)And this week, dozens of those students are getting ready to head out to Nashville,
Tennessee to compete with about 5000 other young people at the Super Nationals of
Chess. The competition only happens every four years and the last time the team went,
they won the third place in the nation. Camarda says chess gives him and his students’
control. (24)The school has the highest number of kids from low income families.
Police frequent the area day and night. As two months ago, a young man was shot just
down the street, Camarda likes to teach his students that they should think about
their move before they do it. The lessons prove valuable outside the classroom as
well. Many parents see these lessons translate into the real world. (25)Students
are more likely to think about their actions and see whether they will lead to
trouble.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Question 22 What did Ted Camarda notice one day after he started teaching at Killip
elementary?
A) His students had trouble getting on with each other.
B) A lot of kids stayed at school to do their homework.
C) His students were struggling to follow his lessons.
D) A group of kids were playing chess after school.
答案：D
Question 23 What are dozens of students from Camarda’s school going to do this week?

Section B
Make Stuff, Fail, And Learn While You're At It
[A] We've always been a hands-on, do-it-yourself kind of nation. Ben Franklin, one
of America's founding fathers, didn't just invent the lightning rod. His creations
include glasses, innovative stoves and more.
[B] Franklin, who was largely self- taught, may have been a genius, but he wasn't
really an exception when it comes to American making and creativity.
[C] The personal computing revolution and philosophy of disruptive innovation of
Silicon Valley grew, in part, out of the creations of the Homebrew Computer Club,
Which was founded in a garage in Menlo Park, California, in the mid-1970s. Members
— including guys named Jobs and Wozniak — started making and inventing things they
couldn't buy.
[D] So it's no surprise that the Maker Movement today is thriving in communities
and some schools across America. Making is available to ordinary people who aren't
扫二维码下载 环球网校移动课堂APP 移动学习 职达未来

环球网校官网
tied to big companies, big defense labs or research universities. The maker
philosophy echoes old ideas advocated by John Dewey, Montessori, and even ancient
Greek philosophers, as we pointed out recently.
[E] These maker spaces are often outside of classrooms, and are serving an important
educational function. The Maker Movement is rediscovering learning by doing, which
is Dewey's phrase from 100 years ago. We are rediscovering Dewey and Montessori and
a lot of the practices that they pioneered that have been forgotten or at least put
aside. A maker space is a place which can be in a school, but it doesn't look like
a classroom. It can be in a library. It can be out in the community. It has tools
and materials. It's a place where you get to make things based on your interest and
on what you're learning to do.
[F] Ideas about learning by doing have struggled to become mainstream educationally,
despite being old concepts from Dewey and Montessori, Plato and Aristotle, and in
the American Contcxt, Ralph Emerson, on the value of experience and self- reliance.
It's not necessarily an efficient way to learn. We learn, in a sense, by trial and
error. Learning from experience is something that takes time and patience. It's very
individualized. If your goal is to have standardized approaches to learning, where
everybody learns the same thing at the same time in the same way, then learning by
doing doesn't really fit that mold anymore. It's not the world of textbooks. It's
not the world of testing.
[G] Learning by doing may not be efficient, but it is effective. Project-based
learning has grown in popularity with teachers and administrators. However,
project-based learning is not making. Although there is a connection, there is also
a distinction. The difference lies in whether the project is in a sense defined and
developed by the student or whether it's assigned by a teacher. We'll all get the
kids to build a small boat. We are all going to learn about X, Y, and Z. That tends
to be one form of project-based learning.
[H] I really believe the core idea of making is to have an idea within your head
— or you just borrow it from someone — and begin to develop it , repeat it and
improve it. Then, realize that idea somehow. That thing that you make is valuable
to you and you can share it with others. I'm interested in how these things are
expressions of that person, their ideas, and their interactions with the world.
[I] In some ways, a lot of forms of making in school trivialize(使变得无足轻重)making.
The thing that you make has no value to you. Once you are done demonstrating whatever
concept was in the textbook, you throw away the pipe cleaners, the cardboard tubes.
扫二维码下载 环球网校移动课堂APP 移动学习 职达未来

环球网校官网
[J] Making should be student-directed and student-led, otherwise it's boring. It
doesn't have the motivation of the student. I'm not saying that students should not
learn concepts or not learn skills. They do. But to really harness their motivation
is to build upon their interest. It's to let them be in control and to drive the
car.
[K] Teachers should aim to build a supportive, creative environment for students
to do this work. A very social environment, where they are learning from each other.
When they have a problem, it isn't the teacher necessarily coming in to solve it.
They are responsible for working through that problem. It might be they have to talk
to other students in the class to help get an answer.
[L] The teacher's role is more of a coach or observer. Sometimes, to people, it sounds
like this is a diminished rote for teachers. I think it's a heightened role. You're
ereating this environment, like a maker space. You have 20 kids doing different
things. You are watching them and really it's the human behaviors you're looking
at. Are they engaged? A they developing and repeating their project? Are they
stumbling (受挫)? Do they need something that they don't have? Can you help them
be aware of where they are?
[M] My belief is that the goal of making is not to get every kid to be hands-on,
but it enable us to be good learners. It's not the knowledge that is valuable, It's
the practice of learning new things and understanding how things work. These are
processes that you are developing so that you are able, over time, to tackle more
interesting problems, more challenging problems—problems that require many people
instead of one person, and many skills instead of one.
[N] If teachers keep it form- free and student-led, it can still be tied to a
curriculum and an educational plan. I think a maker space is more like a like a library
in that there are multiple subjects and multiple things that you can learn. What
seems to be missing in school is how these subjects integrate, how they fit together
in any meaningful way. Rather than saying, ‘This is science, over here is history,'
I see schools taking this idea of projects and looking at: How do they support
children in higher level learning?
[O] I feel like this is a shift away form a subject matter-based curriculum to a
more experiential curriculum or learning. It's still in its early stages, but I think
it's shifting around not what kids learn but how they learn.
36.【题干】A maker space is where people make things according to their personal
interests.

Section C
Passage One
Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
In the classic marriage vow(誓约), couples promise to stay together in sickness and
in health. But a new study finds that the risk of divorce among older couples rises
when the wife-not the husband—becomes seriously ill.

struggling with the impact of their disease while also experiencing the stress of
divorce,
Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham analyzed 20 years of data on 2,717 marriages
from a study conducted by Indiana University since 1992. At the time of the first
interview, at least one of the partners was over the age of 50.
The researchers examined how the onset(发生)of four serious physical illnesses
affected marriages. They found that, overall, 31% of marriages ended in divorce over
the period studied. The incidence of new chronic(慢性的)illness onset increased over
time as will, with more husbands than wives developing serious health problems.

illness,Karraker said. more likely to be widowed, and if they're the noes
who become ill, they're more likely to get divorced.

While the study didn't assess why divorce in more likely when wives but not husbands
become seriously ill, Karraker offers a few possible reasons.
social expectations about caregiving many make it more difficult for men to provide
care to sick spouses,
markets, especially in older ages, divorced men have more choices among prospective
partners than divorced women.
Given the increasing concern about health care costs for the aging population,
Karraker believes policymakers should be aware of the relationship between disease
and risk of divorce.

【答案】C
Passage Two
Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.
If you were like most children, you probably got upset when your mother called you
by a sibling's(兄弟姐妹的)name. How could she not know you? Did it mean she loved
you less?
Probably not. According to the first research to tackle this topic head-on, misnaming
the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive(认知的)error that has
to do with how our memories classify and store familiar names.
The study, published online in April in the journal Memory and Cognition, found that
the name is not random but is invariably fished out from the same relationship
pond: children, siblings, friends. The study did not examine the possibility of deep
psychological significance to the mistake, says psychologist David Rubin,
does tell us who's in and who's out of the group.
The study also found that within that group, misnamings occurred where the names
shared initial or internal sounds, like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob. Physical
resemblance between people was not a factor. Nor was gender.
The researchers conducted five separate surveys of more than 1,700 people. Some of
the surveys included only college students; others were done with a mixed-age
population. Some asked subjects about incidents where someone close to them—family
or friend—had called them by another person's name. The other surveys asked about
times when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name.
All the surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such
as grandchildren, friends and siblings but hardly ever crossed these boundaries.
In general, the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people
to make this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and this mistake and
men as likely as women. Older people and women made the mistake slightly more often,
but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix up than parents
have children. Also, mothers may call on their children more often than fathers,
given traditional gender norms. There was no evidence that errors occurred more when
the misnamer was frustrated, tired or angry.
