11、and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1. 20 Even plants can run a fever, especially when they are under attack by insects or diseases. But 21 humans, plants can have their temperature 22 from 3,000 feet away straight up. A decade ago, 23 the infrared(红外线的 )scanning technology developed for military

12、purpose and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley 24 a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine 25 ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmer 26 target pesticide spraying 27 rain poison on a whole field, which 28 include plants that dont have the pest problem. Even better,

13、Paleys Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problem before they became 29 to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet 30 , an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were 31 into a color-coded map showing 32 plants were running “fevers“. Farmers could then

14、spot spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they 33 would. The bad news is that Paleys company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers 34 the new technology and long-term backers were hard 35 But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrare

15、d scanning, Paley hopes to 36 into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used 37 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States,“ says George Oerther of Texas A alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their

16、 disorganized bosses. Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses convention, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, an

17、d so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps over to a table himself. “Who is that?“ the new arrival asked St. Peter. “Oh, t

18、hats God, “came the reply, “but sometimes he thinks hes a doctor. “ If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and itll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen

19、 food or the chairmans notorious bad taste in ties. With other audiences you mustnt attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent an outsider making disparaging remarks about their canteen of their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the teleph

20、one system. If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natu-ral. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often its the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember

21、 that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light hearted remark. Look for the humor. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist on a familiar quote “If at first you dont succeed, give up“ or a play on words or on a situation. Search for exaggeration and und

22、erstatements. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor. 56 To make your humor work, you should_. ( A) take advantage of different kinds of audience ( B) make fun of the disorganized people ( C) address different problems to different peop

23、le ( D) show sympathy for your listeners 57 The joke about doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are_. ( A) impolite to new arrivals ( B) very conscious of their godlike role ( C) entitled to some privileges ( D) very busy even during lunch hours 58 It can be inferred from the text that

24、public service_. ( A) have benefited many people ( B) are the focus of public attention ( C) are an inappropriate subject for humor ( D) have often been the laughing stock 59 To achieve the desired result, humorous stones should be delivered_. ( A) in well-worded language ( B) as awkwardly as possib

25、le ( C) in exaggerated statements ( D) as casually as possible 60 The best title for the text may be_. ( A) Use Humor Effectively ( B) Various Kinds of Humor ( C) Add Humor to Speech ( D) Different Humor Strategies Part D Directions: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underline

26、d segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. 60 The proportion of works cut for the cinema in Britain dropped from 40 percent when I joined the BBFC in 1975 to less than 4 per cent when I left. But I dont think that 20 years from now it will be possible to r

27、egulate any medium as closely as I regulated film. The internet is, of course, the greatest problem for this century. 61) The world will have to find a means, through some sort of international treaty or United Nations initiative, to control the material thats now going totally unregulated into peop

28、les homes. That said, it will only take one little country like Paraguay to refuse to sign a treaty for transmission to be unstoppable. Parental control is never going to be sufficient. 62) Im still very worried about the impact of violent video games, even though researchers say their impact is mod

29、erated by the fact that players dont so much experience the game as enjoy the technical manoeuvres (策略 )that enable you to win. But in respect of violence in mainstream films, Im more optimistic. Quite suddenly, tastes have changed, and its no longer Stallone or Schwarzenegger who are the top stars,

30、 but: Leonardo DiCaprio that has taken everybody by surprise. 63) Go through the most successful films in Europe and America now and you will find virtually none that are violent. Quentin Tarantino didnt usher in a new, violent generation, and films are becoming much more pre-social than one would h

31、ave expected. Cinemagoing will undoubtedly survive. The new multiplexes are a glorious experience, offering perfect sound and picture and very comfortable seats, things which had died out in the 1980s. 64)I cant believe weve achieved that only to throw it away in favour of huddling around a 14-finch

32、 computer monitor to watch digitally delivered movies at home. It will become increasingly cheap to make films, with cameras becoming smaller and lighter but remaining very precise. 65) That means greater chances for new talent to emerge, as it will be much easier for people to learn how to be bette

33、r film-makers. Peoples working lives will be shorter in the future, and once retired they will spend a lot of time learning to do things that amuse them like making videos. Fifty years on we could well be media-saturated as producers as well as audience: instead of writing letter, one will send litt

34、le home movies entitled My Week. 二、 Section IV Writing (35 minutes) 66 Study the following two pictures carefully and write an essay on them. In your essay, you should ( 1 ) describe the pictures briefly, (2) analyze this situation, and ( 3 ) give your comments. You should write 160-200 words neatly

35、 on ANSWER SHEET 2. 国家公共英语(四级)笔试模拟试卷 286答案与解析 PART A Directions: For Questions 1-5, you will hear a conversation. While you listen, fill out the table with the information you have heard. Some of the information has been given to you in the table. Write only 1 word in each numbered box. You will hea

36、r the recording twice. You now have 25 seconds to read the table below. 1 【听力原文】 YAHOO was the first wonder of the web, and in many respects, it still is. It started in January 1994 when two California graduate students, Jerry Yang and David Filo, started compiling a database of links, mainly for th

37、eir personal use. But well before the end of the year, it had become recognizable as the Yahoo we know today. In the past seven years, Yahoo has expanded its range enormously, partly through a long string of acquisitions. Yahoo now offers almost everything you could want; e-mail, instant messaging,

38、chat, clubs, photo albums, home web pages, file storage, shops, auc-tions, classified ads and more. There are two interesting tensions in the way Yahoo operates. The first is that it has opposite aims: it wants to send surfers away as quickly as possible, but also have them stick around as long as p

39、ossible. The sites original function was to provide users with high-quality links to other websites. The better this works, the less time you spend on Yahoo. But as regular visitor, of course, you may well be tempted to use the other services. You can spend hours doing your email, chatting, shopping

40、, reading the news or listening to Yahoo Radio, all of which may involve receiving lots of banner ads. The other tension is between yahoos image based mainly on its homely beginnings and the corporate reality. Yahoo is not run by amateurs. It is big, rich aggressive multinational corporation. If som

41、eone has a good idea on the web a site that keeps your pictures or coordinates party invitations then pretty soon there is a Yahoo version too. It is possible to compete against Yahoo, but it is not easy. Like Microsoft in the software business, it is big enough to bury you. 1 【正确答案】 January 【试题解析】

42、题目中是 settingup时间,而短文中则以 start来表述,尽管用词不同,意思是相同的。所以答案是 January。注意此类题目会越来越多。 2 【正确答案】 personal 【试题解析】 从 “Jerry Yang and David Filo, started compiling a database of links, mainly fortheir personal use But well before the end of the year, it had become recognizable as theYahoo we know today ”可以知道他们设立这个网站

43、的初衷是为了个人使用。注意连词 but前后内容都可能成为考点。 3 【正确答案】 links 【试题解析】 只要听到 high-quality后面的内容即可,从意思上理解,要提供其他网站,必须有连接。 4 【正确答案】 chat 【试题解析】 雅虎网的功能当然包括聊天,这种熟悉的信息一旦听到就不容易出错,所以听力准备过程中多阅读、多掌握信息是很有帮助的 。 5 【正确答案】 ads 【试题解析】 分类广告也是雅虎的一项服务,与第四题相同,可以根据常识来猜测。但要注意拼写。 PART B Directions: For Questions 6-10, you will hear a passag

44、e. Use not more than 3 words for each answer. You will hear the recording twice. You now have 25 seconds to read the sentences and the questions below. 6 【听力原文】 W: Mm, as a matter of fact, I appreciate your help very much. But, I dont think it desirable. Mm. Do you have other suggestions? I suppose.

45、 M: What did you have in mind? Alternatively, now just a moment, theres another three-day trip going by train. Thats a tiny bit more expensive W: Yeah. how much is that one? M: Thats $100. W: I think Id prefer to go by train. M: Right, now. W: What about the accommodation that goes with that trip? M

46、: Well, that is inclusive. It means its a three-star hotel, which is pretty good quality right in the center of town. It is what we call bed and breakfast though. Would that be all right? W: Oh, that would suit me fine, because Id like to try some of that Scottish food. M: Of course, so when would y

47、ou like to go because this trip, the train, three days, its midweek only . that would be Tuesday , Wednesday, Thursday . would that suit you? W: Wonderful! M: All right. 6 【正确答案】 train 【试题解析】 这是游客和旅行社工作人员之间的对话,文中两次提到坐火 车,因此可认定他们的交通工具是火车。 7 【正确答案】 $100 【试题解析】 此题只要注意问题 “How much is that one?”的答案即可,男的说

48、“Thats $100 ”。 8 【正确答案】 three star hotel 【试题解析】 此题关键要明白前面提到的 accommodation指的是住宿。 9 【正确答案】 Scottish food 【试题解析】 文中女的提到 “Id like to try some of that Scottish food”,由此可得正确答案。 10 【正确答案】 Tuesday 【试题解析】 旅行社工作人员说旅行一共是三天,说明第一个提到的日子是他们出发日期,因此填 Tuesday。注意 Tuesday是专有名词,第一个字母要大写。 PART C Directions: You will hea

49、r three dialogues or monologues. Before listening to each one, you will have 5 seconds to read each of the questions which accompany it. While listening, answer each question by choosing A, B, C or D. After listening, you will have 10 seconds to check your answer to each question.
