The overusing of cell phones
This picture portrays an ironic
situation: on the road, stands a man,
who is completely concentrating on his
cellphone whereas using a stick for
direction, which implies the
unprecedented popularity or even
overusing cell phones nowadays.
Exaggerated as the picture is, the
phenomenon behind it is rather
thought-provoking. With the
development of high-tech equipment,
especially smart phones, people in
growing numbers tend to become
addicted to the excessive use of them.
According to a survey carried out in
China Daily several days ago, almost 47%
of citizens explain that they would
experience certain kind of anxiety
without cellphones at hand. Meanwhile,
the overusing cellphones, firstly would

exert detrimental impact on the health
of us. What's worse, it would perform a
negative character in interpersonal
relationship since we have less time to
communicate.
Judging from the evidence above,
certain measures should be taken.
Firstly, certain institutions in China
should launch relevant campaigns to
limit the excessive use of cellphones.
Moreover, we, as college students,
should put emphasis on it right from
ourselves as a start.

As the drawing presents, there is a man
walking across the street absorbedly
focusing on his cell phone without
noticing the surroundings. This sort of
phenomenon is not uncommon and rare
in some metropolis, especially among
the youngsters.

What the picture illustrates is the
prevailing situation that has long existed
in today's China. That is the mobile
phone obsession. With the advent of
information age, people are becoming
increasingly fascinated on the electronic
products, especially the cell phones. Not
surprisingly, you could easily notice that
most of us are obsessed in sending
messages, playing online games with
their mobile phones. It cannot be denied
that this phenomenon may negatively
impact the relationship among people,
and therefore they will become
estranged and isolated.
Personally, in view of the overuse of
mobile phones, I hold that we
individuals should raise the necessary
awareness that good relationship are
reinforced by sincere and face-to-face
communication.

【四级听力长对话原文1】
M: Excuse me, I need some information
about some of the towns near here.

W: What would you like to know?
M: Well, first, I'd like directions to go to
Norwalk. I believe there is an interesting
museum there. It isn't far, is it?
W: No, not at all. Norwalk is about
eighteen miles east of here on Route 7.
And you're right. It's a wonderful little
museum.
M: Oh good. Now what about Amitsville?
I have some friends. I'd like to visit there
and I also want to get to Newton. They are
near each other, aren't they?
W: Hmm... well, they are actually in
opposite directions. Amitsville is northeast.
It's about thirty five miles northeast of
here.
M: Huh-uh, thirty five miles northeast.
And how about Newton?
W: Well, Newton is in the other direction.
It's southwest, so it isn't really very close
to Amitsville at all and it's a long drive. It's

about fifty five miles southwest from here
and the road is not at all straight.
M: Fifty five miles southwest! Well,
maybe I won't go there this time.
W: I'd recommend visiting Westfield or
Great Town. They are both very close.
Westfield is just seven miles west of here
and Great Town is about five miles south.
They are really pretty little towns with lots
of old houses and beautiful tree-lined
streets.
M: I see. Seven miles west to Westfield
and five miles south to Great Town. Good.
Well, I think that's all the information I
need for a while. Thank you. You've been
very helpful.
W: You're welcome, sir. I hope you enjoy
your stay.

and Great Town?
【答案】

【点评】
该对话属于比较常见“问路”话题。因此
考生在考试中听到开头一两句之后可以
在草稿 纸上画一个东西南北的方位箭头
图，中心点是男士所在的地方。这样听
到后面介绍其它景点时， 可以立刻在相
应方位把地名缩写和距离数字很快记下。
避免听到很多不同地名和数字时候头脑< br>一片混乱。
三个问题都是考查事实细节。但没有考
查Norwalk，Amitsville and Newton，
Westfield and Great Town这几个地方
的具体距离及 位置，因此题目比较容易。

因此该话题备考一方面有意识记下数字
和方位以防万 一考查具体点，另一方面
要注意理解对话的中出现的一些中心句。
如“…they are actually in opposite
directions.”

Airport which leaves at six thirty London
time and gets in at eight thirty Italian time.

minutes to clear customs in getting to the
city center and it means I have to check in

at about four fifteen.

M: Hmm... not so keen on that. What's the
program for the rest of that day?

Part III Listening Comprehension
Listening Passage 1
Donna Fredrick’s served with the Peace
Corps for two years in Brazil. She joined
the Peace Corps after she graduated from
the college because she wanted to do
something to help other people. She had

been brought up on a farm, so the Peace
Corps assigned her to a agricultural project.
Before she went to Brazil, she studied
Portuguese for three months. She also
learnt a great deal about its history and
culture. During her two years with the
Peace Corps, Donna lived in a village in
northeast Brazil. That part of Brazil is very
dry and farming is often difficult there.
Donna helped the people of the village to
organise an arrigation project, and she also
advised them on planting corps. They
didn’t require much water. When Donna
returned to the States, she couldn’t settle
down. She tried several jobs, but they
seemed very boring to her. She couldn’t
get Brazil out of her mind. Finally, one
day she got on an plane and went back to
Brazil. She wasn’t sure what she’s going
to do. She just wanted to be there. After a
few weeks, Donna found a job as an
English teacher, teaching five classes a day.
Like most of the teachers, she doesn’t
make much money. She shares a small
apartment with another teacher. And she

makes a little extra money by sending
stories to newspapers in the States.
Eventually she wants to quit teaching and
work as a full-time journalist.
Question 16

she graduated from college?

again?

17. B Work on an agricultural
project.

职业发展，大学毕业之后加入和平队
（the Peace Corps） ，参加农业项目，
两年的时间她住在巴西的东北部，开展
灌溉项目，帮助当地居民种植无需很多
水的农作物。回到美国之后尝试了几个

会影响做题，只需将其定义为一个组织
名，中间涉及的Brazil，Portugu ese也
都是大家较熟悉的单词。四个题目都是
考查考生对事实细节的抓取能力。

Passage 2
Results of a recent Harry’s pool on free
time showed that the average work week
for many Americans is 50 hours. With the
time spent eating, sleeping and taking care
of the household duties, there’s little time
left for leisure activities for many
Americans. However, having free time to
relax and pursue hobbies is important.
People need time away from the pressures
of study or work to relax and enjoy time
with friends and family. In many countries
free time is spent in different ways. The
results of a Harry’s pool showed that
reading was the most popular spare time
activity in the US. This was followed by
watching TV. In a UK survey on leisure
time activities, watching TV and videos
was the most popular. Listening to the
radio came second. In a similar survey
conducted in Japan, the most popular free
time activity was eating out. The second
most popular activity was driving. There
were also differences in the most popular

outdoor pursuits between the three
countries. The most popular outdoor
activity for Americans was gardening. In
the UK, it was going to the pub. In Japan,
going to bars ranked eighth in popularity
and gardening ranked ninth. Although
people around the world may enjoy doing
similar things in their free time, there’s
evidence to suggest that these interests are
changing. In the US, for example, the
popularity of computer activities is
increasing. Many more people in the States
are spending their free time surfing the
web, emailing friends or playing games
online.
Question 20
What is the recent Harry Pole about?
Question 21
What was the most popular leisure activity
in the US?
Question 22

What was the most popular outdoor
pursuit in the UK?
答案：
20. C Time spent on leisure activities.
21. A Reading.
22. C Going to the pub.
【点评】
本篇短文围绕休闲娱乐活动展开，是大
家熟悉的话题。Harry最近一次 民意调
查结果表明许多美国人没有多少时间用
于休闲活动。但是人们需要一些休息时
间 来调节学习工作压力。接着文章举例
子说明不同国家的休闲活动不同。美国
最流行的休闲活动是 阅读，而在英国是
看电视，在日本是外出吃饭；而且这三
国最流行的户外活动也有所不同。最后
指出虽然全世界的人们有着相似的休闲
活动，但是有证据表明这些兴趣正在改
变。 < /p>

本篇难度不大，题目都是考查学生对于
原文事实细节的理解，第二个题目是问美国最流行的娱乐活动，而第三个题目
是问英国最流行的户外活动，考生要区
别开来，避免 混淆。其中关注下几个单
词：poll民意测验；household家庭的；
leisure 空闲；popularity流行；pursuit
追求；outdoor户外的；spare多余的。
Passage 3
On March 13, while on duty Charles
Mclaughlin, a very careless driver
employed by the company Lummis was
involved in another accident. The accident
occurred in Riverside California. Not
paying attention to his driving, Mclaughlin
rd
turned right on main street and 33 street
and hit Volkswagen rabbit. This caused
minor damage to his truck and serious
damage to the car. On the basis of the
police report, the Lummis accident
committee correctly determined that
Mclaughlin had been quite careless. As a
result of the committee’s conclusion, the
th

branch manager Mr. David Rossi reported
that he had talked with Mclaughlin about
his extremely poor driving record. Further
evidence of Mclaughlin's irresponsibility
th
occurred on May 6 when he was
returning from his shift. That day he ran
into a roll-up door at the Lummis facility
in Valero, causing significant damage to
the door. Damage to the truck, however,
th
was minor. Finally, on June 7,
Mclaughlin once again demonstrated his
carelessness by knocking down several
mail boxes near the edge of the company’s
parking lot. There was damage to the
mailboxes and minor damage to the truck.
Mr. David Rossi stated that he had spoken
with Mclaughlin on several occasions
about his driving record. He added that he
had warned Mclaughlin that three
preventable accidents in one year could
lead to his discharge, as indeed it should.
23. What did the Lummis accident
committee find out about the accident that
th
occurred on March 13?

24. What did Mclaughlin do on June 7
near the edge of the company’s parking
lot?
25. What is most probably going to happen
to Mclaughlin?
23. 答案：D) Mclaughlin's carelessness
resulted in the collision.
24. 答案：B) He knocked down several
mailboxes.
25. 答案：A) He will lose his job.

听力填空
When Captain Cook asked the chiefs in
Tahiti why they always ate apart and alone,
they replied, “Because it is right.” If we
ask Americans why they eat with knives
and forks, or why their men wear pants
instead of skirts or why they may be
married to only one person at a time, we
are likely to get similar and very
uninformative answers because it’s right,
because that’s the way it’s done, because
it’s the custom or even I don’t know. The
reason for these and countless other
patterns of social behavior is that they are
controlled by social norms shared rules or
guide lines which prescribe the behavior
that is appropriate in a given situation.
Norms define how people ought to behave
under particular circumstances in a
particular society. We conform to norms
so readily that we are hardly aware they

exist. In fact we are much more likely to
notice departures from norms than
conformity to them. You will not be
surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands
when you were introduced, but you might
be a little startled if they bowed, started to
stroke you or kissed you on both cheeks.
Yet each of these other forms of greeting
is appropriate in other parts of the world.
When we visit another society whose
norms are different, we quickly become
aware that things we do this way, they do
that way.
