1、大学英语四级模拟试卷 607及答案与解析 一、 Part I Writing (30 minutes) 1 For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled College Students sense of Responsibility. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese: 1有的大学生有很强的责任意识,有的却连最基本的责任感都没有; 2大学生肩负些哪责任; 3大学阶段是大学生成

2、长的重要阶段,呼吁大学生加强责任感。 二、 Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes) Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions attached to the passage. For questions 1-7, mark: Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the informati

3、on given in the passage; N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage. 1 The Sixth Sense When you were a child, did you ever wonder how your mother knew when you were writing on the wall with crayons (

4、蜡笔 ), even though she couldnt possibly see or hear you? . Or why she always came outside and called you just as you headed for forbidden territory? How did she know? If you asked her, she probably told you that it was her “mothers intuition“. That never really explained anything, but it gave you som

5、ething to think about. Just exactly what is a mothers intuition? Unfortunately, not even mothers who profess to having it can explain exactly what it is. Some would say it was a “sixth sense“ or a funny feeling that prompted them to check on their childrens whereabouts and activities. Others have cl

6、aimed to hear a voice inside their heads that called their childrens names or had a “flash vision“ of what their children were doing. In any event, almost every mother seems to have it and will swear by its reliability. A typical example of this ability is the case of a woman who claims that her int

7、uition prevented each of her five children from serious mishaps. Once she awoke in the middle of the night and felt the need to check on her son Paul, who was three years old at the time. He wasnt in his bed, so she raced down the stairs to fend him. She found him outside, sleepwalking, headed strai

8、ght toward a flight of concrete steps. Then again, there was a time when one of her daughters fell off a horse and broke her arm. The child neither cried nor yelled for help. But the mother, sensing that something was wrong, came out of the house and found her in a field just minutes after the accid

9、ent. How did she know? “Just a feeling,“ she said, “that something was wrong. “ The concept that people are capable of having a sixth sense is not a new one. Numerous studies of ESP ( extra sensory perception ) have been under way for decades. What they have revealed only supports the theory that pe

10、ople are capable of having and using another sense beyond sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. But no single group of people seems to have this ability as consistently as mothers do. Why is this? Some theorize that the close and intimate relationship that mother and child have for the first years o

11、f a childs life sets up an empathy (感情移入 ) that no other relationship could possibly duplicate. In other words, a mother “tunes in“ to the thoughts and behavior of her child more than any other person could. Therefore, even though she may be preoccupied with household chores or social activities, a

12、part of her is constantly alert for her childs safety. Not an unreasonable theory-since most of us are the product of our mothers devotion. But how does this explain why a mother will know that her child is in danger, even though the child itself may not be aware of it? This is the question which ha

13、s kept mothers intuition a mystery. Something beyond that which we can logically explain somehow seems to warn a mother when her child approaches danger. An interesting illustration of this sixth sense involves the famous escape artist, Houdini. As the story goes, Houdini was planning to perform an

14、escape from a steel trunk wrapped in chains and dropped into a frozen river. Because the river was so cold, hed only have a few minutes to escape in order to survive. They wrapped Houdini in a straight jacket, locked him into the trunk, secured the chains, and then dropped him into the river through

15、 a hole cut into the ice. Minutes passed and Houdini did not appear. When enough time had passed to make it apparent that Houdinis escape had failed, the grief-stricken party left the scene and reported that Houdini had died. One friend remained at the hole in the ice, not yet convinced that Houdini

16、 had drowned. To his utter amazement, Houdini did indeed surface at the spot. When the half-frozen artist had recovered enough, he told his friend that he had not accounted for the current of the river under the ice. The river had carried the trunk downstream and when he got out of the trunk, he cou

17、ldnt find the hole cut into the ice. He managed to get oxygen from air pockets caught between the ice and the water, but he had no way of finding the hole through the thick ice. Then he heard his mothers voice calling him. He followed her voice, and it led him to the hole in the ice where his friend

18、 was waiting. This was amazing, first, because his mother lived in another city and was nowhere near the scene of the frozen river. But more amazing than that was the fact that, when Houdini tried to call his mother, he was informed that she had died just hours before. What had told Houdinis mother

19、that he was in danger-even beyond the grave? How had she been able to protect her child in spite of the fact that she was no longer living? Someday, perhaps, we will know. Someday we may understand the kind of communication that exists between mother and child and be able to expand on that knowledge

20、 to a better form of communication in all relationships. There is no doubt that such a thing as a mothers intuition exists.
