【范文】
Young Volunteers Visited a Nursing Home
Volunteers from
our university visited a nursing home located in
Hangzhou on June 14th,
which was highly
appraised by the elderly there.
Upon the students’ arrival,
tears of joy glistened in the seniors’ eyes when
the young students
presented them with
well-prepared gifts. Then, the students talked to
them one-on-one with
kindness. Both the
youth and the aged were willing to share their
life stories, immersing in an
atmosphere of joy. When it was time for
the youngsters to leave, the elderly thanked them
over and
over again. And the volunteers
expressed that they learned a lot and were all
stunned by the
optimism their elderly
friends had for their future.
According to Winston
Churchill, a British statesman, “we make a living
by what we get, but we
make a life by
what we give.” The visit not only enriches the
seniors’ daily life, but also provides the
youth with an opportunity to learn some
important life lessons from the elderly residents.

【点评】
写作试题是考查考生综合运用英语语言的能力，
四级写作试题对
考生的要求也越来越高。
今年考
查了新闻报道这一新的文章体裁
，
这也就意味着出题人更加强调学生把考场作文和真实生活中的写作
联系在一起，对于学生观察生活的能力提出了更高的要求
——
注意到新闻的格式和内容安排的特点。
一方面，新闻报道需要写出标题和落款，标题注
意简洁明了，落款既要写出人名还要按照新闻报道的
格式写出
b
y sb.
，最后还要写出所在的新闻机构。另一方面，在内容上，分三段进行写作，第
一段写
导语，点明事件的基本情况
(
时
间、地点、事件、人物、目的或意义
);
第二段写经过
(
一般按照时间顺
序进行书写，同时可以对其中
一个小事进行特写，中间还可以穿插人物采访
);
第三段写对这
一事件，
人物的看法、想法和观点。
在体裁上虽然不同于以往四级命题的规律，
< br>但是万变不离其宗的是仍然把学生对英语语言能力的
运用能力作为考查重点。
综观近五年的四级写作命题趋势，
无论是要说明理由、
解释原因、
阐明影响，
第一段的功能始终都是引入，
这跟新闻报道的第一段写导语是一致的，
所以考生可以结合以往
作文的
行文思路作为切入点书写新闻报道。
第二段是浓墨重彩的
一段，
而新闻报道与普通作文的区别是更侧
重事实，所以要求考
生在书写的时候只需要客观写出事情的起因、经过、结果即可。第三段无论是以
往的作文
还是新闻报道，都需要给出总结
(
对事件的看法和观点
)
，在新闻报道的结尾段作出对事件的
评价和写
出所的感悟就可以了。
今年考查的话题是养老院、农场和当地小学，与考生的生活比较贴近，在写作时，列举的例子应<
/p>
较为典型，这样阅卷老师很容明白考生文中所描述的内容。同时，考生对这个例子也应很熟
悉，能够
熟练运用一些有关的词或短语，
这样下笔时才会有话可
说，
从而将相关的背景知识与正确的语言表达
有效地结合起来。
这些话题与大学生的生活息息相关。这些话题对于考生而言都会有话可说，并且能
够提出
一定的看法和观点。
Part 2 Listening Comprehension(25
minutes)
本次四级听力
难度适中，就听力文本的主题而言，难度略有下降。因为今年这套听力的内容和大
学生生
活较为贴近，
主题以校园，
生活类为主，
没有难度较大的政治，
经济，
科技，
科普之类的主题，
因而，对听力较好的同学而言，应该会感受到比往年题目听到的生词少
。
但题
目设置上的难度并没有降低
(
没有题目，
红色字体为猜测出题点
)
。
由于目前
还没有试卷选项，
单就原文和出题位置来看，出题位置符合我们上课讲的
“
头尾重点
”“
逻辑
”
处等考点，考生在应试时若
把握好这这些内容
，应能较快反应出对应的答案。

bonus for people who put off marriage

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, often between 70 and 80, but one
lawyer tell the paper the changes still have to

W: Carl, how di

right?
M: Yes, I’ve prepared as much as I
could. But I was so nervous since it was my second
trial.
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. I
was such a relief that I passed.
W: Congratulations! I knew
you could do it. I think 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:
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. I can’t
wait for my next
session. Although the
lessons are rather expensi
ve. 20 pounds
an hour, and the instructor says I’ll
need above 30
—40 lessons in
total, that’s what? 6—8 hundred pounds. So, this
time, I’ll need to
make a lot more
effort, and hopefully, I’ll be successful the
first time.
W: Well, good luck.

M:
Emma, I’ve got accepted to the university of
Leads. Since you’re going to university in
England, 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 l
ocal
students.
M:
OK, that’s about 17,000 dollars for the tuition
and fees. Anyway, I’m only going to be there
for a year, doing my masters. So it’s
pretty good. If I stayed in the U.S., it’d take 2
years, and cost at
least 50,000 dollars
in tuition alone. Also, I have a good chance of
winning a scholarship at Leads,
which
would be pretty awesome, the benefit of being a
music genius.
W: Yeah, I heard you are a talented
piano player. So you are 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 could
go on to earning
lots of money.
M: Are you still planning on being a
teacher? No money at that job then.
W: You’d be surprised, 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 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’ve
got to

原文：
Scientists have identified thousands of
known ants 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. 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 barging ants,
other species can cause different kinds
of damage. Some, like carpenter ants, can
undermine a
home structure, while
others interfere with the electrical units.
Unfortunately,
our homes are very attractive to ants, because it
provides everything the colony
needs to
survive, such as food, water, and shelter. So, how
can we prevent ants from getting into
our homes? 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 air-tight
containers. Even garbage attracts ants, so empty
your trash as often as possible.
And
store your outside garbage in a lidded can, while
away from doors and windows.

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 affections.
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 were
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. They come to the
university to provide us with blood
samples to be interviewed and to help us to carry
out a whole
range of research. The real
impact of our research is going to be on health in
old age. At the
moment, we are living
much longer. Life expectancy is increasing at 2
years for every decade, that
means an
extra 5 hours a day. I want to make sure that
older adults are still able to enjoy their old
age, and that they are not spending
time in hospital with infection. Felling unwell
and being
generally weak we want people
to be healthy even when they are old.

When Ted Komada started teaching 14
years ago at Kilip Elementary, he didn’t know how
to
manage a classroom and was
struggling to connect with students, he noticed a
couple of days after
school that a
group of kid would ge
t together to play
chess. “I know how to play chess, let me go
and show these kids how to do it,” he
said. Now, Komada coaches the school’s chess team.
The
whole program started as a safe
place for kids to come after school. 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. Komada says Chess
gives him
and his students control. The
school has the highest number of kids from low-
income families.
Police frequent the
area day and night. As 2 months ago, a young man
was shot just down the
street. Komada
likes to teach his students that they should think
about their move before they do it.
The
lessons proved valuable outside the classroom as
well. Many parents see these lessons
translate into the real world. Students
are more likely to think about their actions and
see whether
they will lead to trouble.

【答案解析】
26.
根据空格位置，
marine
此处形容词，可判断出
26
题应为名词。
marine
< br>的意思是
“
海生的，
海运的
”
固定搭配
“marine habita
t”
海洋栖息地。所以本题答案为
“G”habitat“
栖息地
”
。
27.
根据空格位置，词性应该为动词的被动态。本篇文章对
A300
持有肯定态度，所以此句想表
达
“A300”
< br>对环境没有任何潜在的坏处，故答案应为
“M”, “be stripped
of”
意为
“
剥夺
”
。
28.
此题空格前有
“will”,
所以此处应填动词原形。选项中动词原形有
“A”
和
“H”,
根据句意得知，
沉没的飞机可以让人工珊瑚长的更好。所以本题答案为
“A”
，
create“
创造，产生
”
。
29.
此处应填动词原形，主语为
“
plane”
，故谓语动词应为单三形式。所以答案是
“L”,
stretches
意
为
“
延伸
”
，此处指
“
飞机机身总长为
54
米
”
。
30.
此处应填副词，用来修饰后面的
“be able to
venture”,
答案应锁定在
“C”eventuall
y
和
“L”intentionally

“C”eventuall
y“
最终地
”
，更
符合句意。
31.
此处应填名词形式，因为空格前为
“plane’s”
。名词选项有
“F”
< br>和
“N”
。空格处前半句是时候水
肺式潜水者能够在船舱内冒险，所以后半句应该为他们也可以在船舱外面冒险。故答案为
“F”exterior“
外部，表面
”
。
32.
因为空格前为
“on tha
t”...
所以此处应为名词。本句话的大意是：买这架飞机花了很多钱，所
以他们希望通过旅游业能够看到自己投资的回报。所以答案为
“J”inv
estment“
投资
”
。
33.

空格后的内容为
“
严重的致命恐怖袭击
”
，
所以空格处应为
victim“
受害者

。
故答案为
“O”
。
34.
此处应为副词形式。因为副词修饰形容词
“largest”
。副词只剩
“I”intent
ionally
有目的性地，故
意地，修饰后面
sunk,
所以本题答案为
“I”
< br>。
35.
此题应为
v.-ing
形式，与
and
前的
“taking a trip underwater”
保持并列。
< br>“E”exploring
和
“K”revealing
都是
v.-ing
形式。根据本句句意
，
“E”exploring“
探索
”
更符合句意。本句话的意思是
“
水下<
/p>
旅行和探索沉没的
A300
的内部都会是
一场冒险
”
。
Section B
Directions: In
this section, you are going to read a passage with
ten statements attached to it.
Each
statement contains information given in one of the
paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from
which the information is derived. You
may choose a paragraph more than once. Each
paragraph is
marked with a letter.
Answer the questions by marking the corresponding
letter on Answer Sheet 2.
Resilience Is About How You Recharge,
Not How You Endure
[A] As constant travelers and parents
of a 2-year-old, we sometimes fantasize about how
much
work we can do when one of us gets
on a plane, undistracted by phones, friends, or
movies. We
race to get all our ground
work done: packing, going through security, doing
a last-minute work call,
calling each
other, then boarding the plane. Then, when we try
to have that amazing work session
in
flight, we get nothing done. Even worse, after
refreshing our email or reading the same studies
over and over, we are too exhausted
when we land to soldier on with
(
继续处理
) the emails that
have inevitably still piled up.
[B] Why should
flying deplete us? We’re just sitting there doing
nothing. Why can’t we be
tougher, more
resilient (
有复原力的
) and
determined in our work so we can accomplish all of
the
goals we set for ourselves? Based
on our current research, we have come to realize
that the
problem is not our hectic
schedule or the plane travel itself; the problem
comes from a
misconception of what it
means to be resilient, and the resulting impact of
overworking.
[C] We often take a militaristic,
“tough” approach to resilience and determination
like a Marine
pulling himself through
the mud, a boxer going one more round, or a
football player picking himself
up off
the ground for one more play. We believe that the
longer we tough it out, the tougher we are,
and therefore the more successful we
will be. However, this entire conception is
scientifically
inaccurate.
[D] The very lack of a
recovery period is dramatically holding back our
collective ability to be
resilient and
successful. Research has found that there is a
direct correlation between lack of
recovery and increased incidence of
health and safety problems. And lack of
recovery
—
whether by
disrupting sleep with thoughts of work
or having continuous cognitive arousal by watching
our
phones
—
is
costing our companies $$62 billion a year in lost
productivity.
[E] And just because work stops, it
doesn’t mean we are recovering. We “stop” work
sometimes at 5pm, but then we spend the
night wrestling with solutions to work problems,
talking
