Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension ( 40 minutes )
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten
blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from
a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each
choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the
corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the
bank more than once.
A rat or pigeon might not be the obvious choice to tend to
someone w ho is sick, but these creatures have some 26 skills that could help the treatment of human diseases.
Pigeons are often seen as dirty birds and an urban 27 , but
they are just the latest in a long line of animals that have been found to have abilities to help humans. Despite having a brain
no bigger than the 28 of your index finger, pigeons have a very impressive 29__ memory. Recently it was shown that they could be trained to be as accurate as humans at detecting breast cancer
in images.
Rats are often 30 with spreading disease rather than 31 it,
but this long-tailed animal is highly 32 . Inside a rat's nose
are up to 1,000 different types of olfactory receptors （嗅觉感受器）, whereas humans only have 100 to 200 types. This gives
rats the ability to detect __33 smells. As a result, some rats
are being put to work to detect TB（肺结核）. When the rats detect the smell, they stop and rub their legs to 34 a sample is infected.
Traditionally, a hundred samples would take lab technicians
more than two days to 35 , but for a rat it takes less than 20
minutes. This rat detection method doesn't rely on specialist
equipment. It is also more accurate — the rats are able to find
more TB infections and, therefore, save more lives.
A) associated I) slight
B) examine J) specify
C) indicate K) superior
D) nuisance L) suspicious
E) peak M) tip
F) preventing N) treated
G) prohibiting O) visual
H) sensitive
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.
Do In-Class Exams Make Students Study Harder?
Research suggests they may study more broadly for the
unexpected rather than search for answers.
[A] I have always been a poor test-taker. So it may s eem r ather strange that I have returned to college to finish the degree I
left undone some four decades ago. I am making my way through Columbia University, surrounded by students who quickly supply
the verbal answer while I am still processing the question.
[B] Since there is no way for me t o avoid exams, I am c urrently questioning what kind are the most taxing and ultimately
beneficial. I have already sweated through numerous in-class
midterms and finals, and now I have a professor who issues
take-home ones. I was excited when I learned this, figuring I had a full week to do the research, read the texts, and write it all
up. In fact, I was still rewriting my midterm the morning it was
due. To say I had lost the thread is putting it mildly.
[C] As I was suffering through my week of anxiety,
overthinking the material and guessing my grasp of it, I did some
of my o wn polling among s tudents and professors. David Eisenbach, who teaches a popular class on U.S. presidents at Columbia,
prefers the in-class variety. He believes students ultimately
learn more and encourages them to form study groups. “That way they socialize over history outside the class, which wouldn’t happen without the pressure of an in-class exam,” he explained, “Furthermore, in-class exams force students to learn how to
perform under pressure, and essential work skill.”
[D] He also says there is less chance of cheating with the
in-class variety. In 2012, 125 students at Harvard were caught
up in a scandal when it was discovered they had cheated on a
take-home e xam for a class entitled “Introduction To Congress.” Some colleges have what they call an “honor code,” th ough if you are smart enough to get into these schools, you are either
smart enough to get around any codes or hopefully, too ethical
to consider doing so. As I sat blocked and clueless for two solid days, I momentarily wondered if I couldn’t just call an expert on the subject matter which I was tackling, or someone who took
the class previously, to get me going.
[E] Following the Harvard scandal, Mary Miller, the former
dean of students at Yale, made an impassioned appeal to her
school’s professors to refrain from take-hone exams. “Students risk health and well being, as well as performance in other
end-of-term work, when faculty offers take-home exams without
clear, time-limited boundaries,” she told me. “Research now shows that regular quizzes, short essays, and other assignments
over the course of a term better enhance learning and retention.”
[F] Most college professors agree the kind of exam t hey choose largely depends on the subject. A quantitative-based one, for
example, is unlikely to be sent home, where one could ask their
older brothers and sisters to help. Vocational-type classes, such as computer science or journalism, on the other hand, are often
more research-oriented and lend themselves to take-home testing. Chris Koch, who teaches “History of Broadcast Journalism” at Montgomery Community College in Rockville, Maryland, points out
that reporting is about investigation rather than the
memorization of minute details. “In my field, it’s not what you know—it’s what you know how to find out,” says Koch. “There is way too much information, and more coming all the time, for
anyone to remember. I want my students to search out the answers
to questions by using all the resources available to them.
[G] Students’ test-form preferences vary, too, often
depending on the subject and course difficulty. “Ｉ prefer
take-home essays because it is then really about the writing, so you have time to edit and do more research,” says Elizabeth Dresser, a junior at Barnard. Then there is the stress factor.
Francesca Haass, a senior at Middlebury, says, “I find the
in-class ones are more stressful in the short term, but there is
immediate relief as you swallow information like mad, and then
you get to forget it all. Take-homes require thoughtful engagement which can lead to longer term stress as there is never a moment
when the time is up.” Meanwhile, Olivia Rubin, a sophomore at Emory, says she hardly even considers take-homes t rue exams. “If you understand the material and have the ability to articulate
(说出) your thoughts, they should be a breeze.”
[H] How s tudents ultimately handle stress may d epend on their personal test-taking abilities. There are people who always wait until the last minute, and make it much harder than it needs to
be. And t hen there those who, not knowing what questions are coming at them, and having no resources to refer to, can freeze. And then there are we rare folks who fit both those descriptions.
-
[I] Yes, my advanced age must factor into the equation (等式), in part because of my inability to
access the information as quickly. As another returning
student at Columbia, Kate Marber, told
me, “We are learning not only all this information, but
essentially how to learn again. Our
fellow students have just come out of high school. A lot has
changed since we were last in
school.”
[J] If nothing else, the situation has given my college son
and me something to share, When I
asked his opinion on this matter, he responded, “I like
in-class exams because the time is
already reserved, as opposed to using my free time at home
to work on a t est,” he responded.
It seems to me that a compromise would be receiving the exam questions a day or two in
advance, and then doing the actual test in class the ticking clock overhead.
[K] Better yet, how about what one Hunter College professor reportedly did recently for her final
exam: She encouraged the class not to stress or even study, promising that, “It is going to be a
piece of cake.” When the students came in, sharpened pencils in hand, there was not a blue
book in sight. Rather, they saw a large chocolate cake and
they each were given a slice.
36. Elderly students find it hard to keep up with the rapid
changes in education.
37. Some believe take-home exams may affect students' performance in other courses.
38. Certain professors believe in-class exams are ultimately more helpful to students.
39. In-class exams are believed to discourage cheating in
exams.
40. The author was happy to learn she could do some exams at home.
41. Students who p ut off their work until the last moment o ften find the exams more difficult than
they actually are.
42. Different students may prefer different types of exams.
43. Most professors agree whether to give an in-class or a
take-home exam depends on type of
course being taught.
44. The author dropped out of college some forty years ago.
45. Some students think take-home exams w ill eat up their free time.
Section C
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on
Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 46 and 50 are based on the following passage.
That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the
“first-night” effect. If a person stays in the same room the
following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the
origins of this effect.
Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would
be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and
dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at
a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators (捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same t hing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the
university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The
participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity
of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants
slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less
overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night
only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep
nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.
Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake
to process information detected in the surrounding environment,
Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same t one and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to
keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the
irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore
the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.
46. What did researchers find puzzling about the first-night effect?
A) To what extent it can trouble people. C) What circumstances may trigger it.
2016 年12 月大学英语四级考试真题及 答案 【篇一：2016 年12 月大学英语四级翻译作文题目及答 案】 翻译一： 在中国文化中，红色通常象征着好运、长寿和幸福。在春节和其他喜庆场合，红色到处可见。人们把现金作为礼物送给家人或亲密朋 友时，通常放在红信封里。红色在中国流行的另一个原因是人们把 它与中国革命和共产党相联系。然而，红色并不总是代表好运与快 乐。因为从前死者的名字常用红色书写，用红墨水写中国人名被看 成是一种冒犯行为。 as a symbol of good luck, longevity and happiness in chinese culture, the color of red can be seen everywhere during springfestive and other festive/ joyous occasions. cash is usually put in red envelopes as gifts for relatives and close/intimate friends. also, red is much-welcomed / fashionable in china because of its association with chinese revolutions and the communist party. however, red does not always represent / equal to good luck and joy. red was previously used to write the names of the deceased so it is seen as an offence to write chinese people ’s names in red ink. 翻译二 随着中国的改革开放，如今很多年轻人都喜欢举行西式婚礼。新娘 在婚礼上穿着白色婚纱，因为白色被认为是纯洁的象征。然而，在 中国传统文化中，白色经常是葬礼上使用的颜色。因此务必记住， 白花一定不要用作祝人康复的礼物，尤其不要送给老年人或危重病 人。同样，礼金也不能装在白色信封里，而要装在红色信封里。 with the reform and opening-up of china, a great many young people nowadays prefer to hold western-style wedding: the bride wears white wedding gown because the color is considered to symbolize purity/is considered as the symbol of purity. however, in tradition chinese culture, white is often used on funerals. so, do bear in mind that white flowers should never be used as a gift to celebrate someone ’s recovery, especially not for the aged or those who are seriously ill.

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite
