我看到一些网上流传的试题和答案,加上自己做的情况,稍微分析一下,希望能给大家一点帮助,至少可以对有没有通过起个参考作用.
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique - a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering
work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world’s only liberal arts university for deaf people.
When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.
Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语 ). But Stokoe believed the “hand talk“ his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that lan-
guage be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf peopie dismissed their signing as “substandard“. Stokoe’s idea was academic heresy (异端邪说 ).
It is 37 years later. Stokoe - now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture - is having lunch at a caf6 near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed
language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. “What I said,“ Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuff- it’s brain stuff.“

Passage Two
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
A is for always getting to work on time.
B is for being extremely busy.
C is for the conscientious ( 勤勤恳恳的 ) way you do your job.
You may be all these things at’the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts’ Say, the ABcs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.
Dale Carnegie suggested as’much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure Career advancemen. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the’scefies. Yet,’ despite the ovious rewards Of engaging in office politics - a better job, a raise, praise- many people are still unable or unwilling - to “play the game.“
“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior,“ says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derives from the word ’polite’. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying, to please your superior, and then’expecting something in return.“
In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment - not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.
“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,“ says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or shelikes best. It’s simple human nature.“
Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics withfiattery 奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.
Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.

Passage Three
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip co Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross’s campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriv!ng in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. “I knew the statistics,“ she said. “But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13- year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her.“
The Princess concluded with a simple message: “We must stop landmines“. And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.
But, back in London, her views were not’ shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack On the Princess in the press. They described her as “very ill-informed“ and a “loose cannon (乱放跑的人)
The Princess responded by brushing aside the Criticisms: “This is a distraction ( 干扰) we do not need. All I’m trying to do is help.“
Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their Support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess’s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-inf0rmed about both the situa-tion in Angola and the British government’s policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.
To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkidnd, claimed that the Princess’s views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was “working towards“ a worldwide ban. The Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was “a misinterpretation or misunderstanding.“ -
For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn countrywas an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems.

Passage Four
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
As soon as it was revealed that a reporter for Progressive magazine had discovered how to make a hydrogen bomb, a group offirearm ( 火器 ) fans formed the National Hydrogen Bomb Association, and they are now lobbying against any legislation to stop Americans from owning one.
“The Constitution,“ said the association’s spokesman, “gives everyone the right to own arms. It doesn’t spell out what kind of arms. But since anyone can now make a hydrogen bomb, the public should be able to buy it to protect themselves.“
“Don’t you think it’s dangerous to have one in the house, particularly where there are children around?“
“The National Hydrogen Bomb Association hopes to educate people in the safe handling of this type of weapon. We are instructing owners to keep the bomb in a locked cabinet and the fuse (导火索 ) separately in a drawer.“
“Some people consider the hydrogen bomb a very fatal weapon which could kill somebody.“
The spokesman said, “Hydrogen bombs don’t kill people - people kill people. The bomb is for self-protection and it also has a deterrent effect. If somebody knows you have a nuclear weapon in your house, they’re going to think twice about breaking in.“
“But those who want to ban the bomb for American citizens claim that ifyou have one locked in the cabinet, with the fuse in a drawer, you would never be able to assemble it in time to stop an intruder ( 侵入者）“
“Another argument against allowing people to own a bomb is that at the moment it is very expensive to build one. So what your association is backing is a program which would allow the middle and upper classes to acquire a bomb while poor people will be left defenseless with just handguns.“
26. According to the passage, some people started a national association so as to

完形填空就不多讲,我对了一下,大概错了五个左右,也谈不出什么原因,不过最后一题没有看到过答案,我选的是A,and.
整个试卷我觉得阅读比上次考的要简单一点,词汇也简单一点.以前我没有考过四级,不知道听力怎么样,我感觉这次的听力比较难,讲得很快,而且我们是用大广播放,不清楚,我也有点紧张,听力可能要错到八个左右.
作文我没有复习,也无从下手,临考前背了几个句子,一个也没有用上.随便写了一点,回来和我老婆(她是专业八级),她认为我大概拿不到及格分,据说作文不及格就要不及格,这样不是太冤枉了.
另外,至于泄题的事情,我相信这样的事是有的,在我们这个国家,有什么不可能.其实大家也不要太气愤,只要你能真正学好,就算重考怕什么.如果我这次能通过,我会把我学习的一些经验写下来和大家交流一下,虽然我现在水平还很菜.不过你要知道,我连高中英语都没有上过,工作以后英语就扔下来了,半年前我看新概念二都有问题,听初一英语学生上的书都听不懂.
很辛苦搞出来的东西,请版主留情.
