Recently researchers have found that even in late adulthood, exercise, strict training with weights and better food can help【 B8】_indiv

17、iduals significantly improve their health and add happiness to their life. We know much more about preventive health today than our parents and grandparents did in the past giving us the opportunity to avoid some of the health problems that have troubled them. And this new knowledge can be【 B9】 _to

24、 in the Media A)Images of female bodies are everywhere. Womenand their body partssell everything from food to cars. Popular film and television actresses are becoming younger, taller and thinner. Some have even been known to faint on the set from lack of food. Women s magazines are full of articles

25、urging that if they can just lose those last twenty pounds, theyll have it allthe perfect marriage, loving children, great sex, and a rewarding career. B)Why are standards of beauty being imposed on women, the majority of whom are naturally larger and more mature than any of the models? The roots, s

26、ome analysts say, are economic. By presenting an ideal difficult to achieve and maintain, the cosmetic and diet product industries are assured of growth and profits. And its no accident that youth is increasingly promoted, along with thinness, as an essential criterion of beauty. If not all women ne

27、ed to lose weight, for sure theyre all aging, says the Quebec Action Network for Womens Health in its 2001 report. And, according to the industry, age is a disaster that needs to be dealt with. C)The stakes are huge. On the one hand, women who are insecure about their bodies are more likely to buy b

28、eauty products, new clothes, and diet aids. It is estimated that the diet industry alone is worth anywhere between 40 to 100 billion(U.S.)a year selling temporary weight loss(90% to 95% of dieters regain the lost weight). On the other hand, research indicates that exposure to images of thin, young,

29、air-brushed female bodies is linked to depression, loss of self-esteem and the development of unhealthy eating habits in women and girls. D)The American research group Anorexia Nervosa why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, w

30、hich in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. One entire information and entertainment industry would collapse. 57 What is the main idea of this passage? （ A

31、） Wearing uniforms has both advantages and disadvantages. （ B） Wearing uniforms should be promoted strongly. （ C） Wearing uniforms will destroy economy. （ D） Wearing uniforms has many negative effects. 58 According to the author, if a person wears a uniform, he will lose his_. （ A） importance （ B） m

32、eaning （ C） self-value （ D） pride 59 In the author s opinion, which is the most important thing? （ A） Society. （ B） Individuality. （ C） One s image. （ D） Dignity. 60 The word “incentive“ in Line 10, Para. 2 probably means_. （ A） efforts （ B） motivation （ C） skills （ D） attempts 61 The writer s attit

33、ude of this passage is apparently_. （ A） disapproved （ B） positive （ C） pessimistic （ D） sarcastic 61 It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their

34、 parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problemsand that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents of

35、ten underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young. Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not y

36、et been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are lea

37、ders in style and taste. Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you cant win but at least you can kee

38、p your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself. If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be

39、part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do. 62 The author is primarily addressing_. （ A） parents of t

40、eenagers （ B） newspaper readers （ C） teenagers （ D） those who give advice to teenagers 63 The first paragraph is mainly about_. （ A） the teenagers criticism of their parents （ B） misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents （ C） the dominance of the parents over their children （ D） the teen

41、agers ability to deal with crises 64 Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they_. （ A） want to irritate their parents （ B） have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste （ C） have no other way to enjoy themselves better （ D） want to show their existence by creating a c

42、ulture of their own 65 Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they_. （ A） have a desire to be independent （ B） feel that they are superior in a small way to the adults （ C） are not likely to win over the adults （ D） have already been accepted into the adult world

43、66 To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be_. （ A） obedient （ B） responsible （ C） independent （ D） co-operative 二、 Part Translation 67 人类最好的朋友因为咬坏了主人最喜欢的拖鞋而挨骂的时候，看起来好像很自责的样子，但是科学家说狗狗根本就不会感受到内疚。如果你养过狗，那你肯定知道狗狗们的 “内疚脸 ”：耳朵朝后，脑袋瑟瑟发抖，尾巴蜷成一团。 74的狗主人相信他们的狗狗会觉得内疚，但是动物行为学专家称狗狗没有感到愧

44、疚这项功能。他们说这种 “内疚脸 ”就是摆给你看的。 大学英语四级（ 2013年 12月考试改 革适用）模拟试卷 95答案与解析 一、 Part I Writing 1 【正确答案】 Automobiles Bring Us More Advantages The current hot issues include the one of weighing the advantages and disadvantages of the automobile. In my opinion, its advantages outstrip its disadvantages for two maj

45、or reasons: impact on society and economic impact. Firstly, the development of automobiles has had an enormous effect on people s way of life throughout the world. The automobile has given people freedom of movement. It influences where people live and work and how they spend their leisure time. Bes

46、ides, the automobile itself is time-saving, which is consistent with the fast pace of modern life. Secondly, many nations depend on automobile production to provide jobs for millions of workers. Filling stations, restaurants, and other businesses that serve automobile travelers are of major importan

47、ce to a countrys economy. In addition, many developing nations have begun making automobiles stimulate industry. It is true that automobiles produce terrible air pollution that endangers people s health. But in many countries, steps have been taken to control air pollution caused by automobiles. In
