A
Rome had the Forum(广场)．London has Speaker’s Corner．Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill．
Liz and Bill，two college graduates in their early 20s，have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street corners．Just talk．
Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says，“Talk to Me”．they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient，and men in business suits．
They don’t collect money．They don’t push religion．So what’s the point?
“T o see what happens，”said Liz．“We simply enjoy life with open communication．”
Shortly after Obama’s election in January 2009，they decided to walk from New York City to Washington，a 270-mile trip．They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return．
“It started as a crazy idea．”Liz said．“We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories．People will talk to us about anything：their jobs，their clothes，their childhood experiences，anything．”
Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take．She had stopped by for the second time in two days，to let the two listeners know how it went．
Marcia had lost her husband because of a serious disease．“That was very heavy on my
mind．”Marcia said，“To be able t o talk about it to total strangers was very good．”she explained．To celebrate a year of talking，the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year．A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters．They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks．Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something they say they’ll consider．
31．What did Liz and Bill start doing after Obama’s election?
A．Chatting with people．B．Setting up street signs．
C．Telling stories to strangers．D．Organizing a speaker’s corner
32．What they have been doing can be described as ．

A．They knew Liz and Bill very well．
B．They happened to meet the writer of the text．
C．They organized the get-together in the city park．
D．They are examples of those who talked to Liz and Bill．

What did you dream about last night? Did your teeth fall out or did you fly? Maybe you died or someone you know did．Or maybe you were back in high school．These are among the most common dreams people have and they all mean something．Here are some of the most common dreams and their interpretations or symbolism．Dreams of flying．Dreams of flying represent feelings of freedom that may result from an instance when you overcome a limitation or obstacle．Usually, children have more flying dreams than adults, because children are
more open to their possibilities, and adults have often accepted limitations imposed by society．Teeth falling out．Food in a dream is symbolic of knowledge because food nourishes the physical body and knowledge nourishes the soul．Teeth are a means to break down food or knowledge．When your teeth fall out in a dream, it could signify that you feel ill-equipped to break down the knowledge that you have available, that the way you break things down has changed．That change can be either positive or negative．High school dreams．High school is a place of learning from the past, and dreaming of being unprepared for a high school test can indicate a struggle to access information you need to handle in your life．
Recurring(重复的) dreams and nightmares．Recurring dreams are your subconscious （潜意识）mind's way of trying to get your attention．A recurring dream is a step down from a nightmare that is a louder, more insistent way your subconscious mind communicates．If you have a recurring dream, try to stop in the dream and identify what the dream is trying to tell you．That could mean asking someone who is chasing you what he or she wants．A woman dreamed for years that an old, haggard (憔悴的)woman was chasing her around her home．When she finally stopped in the dream and asked the old woman what she represented, the old,woman suddenly turned into a beautiful young woman and replied, "I represent your question of ' what if?’ "
35．After you' ve got out of some difficulties, you might have a ____．
A．high school dream B．dream of flying
C．dream of teeth falling out D．a nightmare
36．If you dream of being unprepared for a "high school test, it means ．
A．you' re trying to learn something
B．you will certainly pass the test,for dream is the opposite to reality.
C．you will be scolded by your teacher
D．You lack enough information about the test
37．The underlined word "identify" in the last paragraph most probably means ．
A．break out B．rush out C．make out D．carry out
38. The woman' s dream is mentioned mainly to ____．
A．tell us nothing but an interesting story
B．show us how frightening a nightmare is.
C．tell us that women are always changeable
D．show us the way to deal with a recurring dream
C
Will Nanfang University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announce a new beginning for China’s higher education reform? It’s too early to answer. But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education(教育部). Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll(招收)50 students, so-called child prodigies(奇才), to begin classes on March l, 2011. On graduating in 2015, these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education—unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities.
The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, but if the government will not approve the school, the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50 students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions. Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas.
The difficulties, however, have not frightened students and their parents away. On Dec.18, 2010 more than 1,000 students and their parents visited Nanfang University of Science and Technology for interviews.
Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation. Not a penny comes from the government. So the government will have no voice in how the school will be run.
The Ministry of Education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011 and 2020.The goal is to make China’s higher education internationally competitive. To accomplish this goal, the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out. The ministry should have applauded the independence the school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise.
Education reform in China has reached a new and crucial stage. Nanfang University of Science and Technology has a long way to go to prove itself competitive rather than a diploma mill(加工厂).
39. Over 1,000 students and parents visited the school because .
A. they believe that the school will have a bright future
B. they believe the government is sure to approve the school
C. the school models itself on Hong Kong University successfully
D. they will never do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions
40. The trouble the students in the school may have is that .
A. the government will have no voice in the school
B. they won’t receive any diploma when graduating from the school
C. other schools are unlikely to accept their diploma from the school
D. they will not learn how to be competitive
41. What does the author think of Nanfang University of Science and Technology?
A. It is another kind of diploma mill.
B. It’s impossible for the school to be competitive.
C. It will never get the approval from the Ministry of Education.
D. Its independence from the government may benefit the education reform.
42. What is the best title of the passage?
A. University of New Style.
B. China’s Education Reform.
C. Modeling Hong Kong University.
D. Authorized or Not?
D
The Homeless World Cup is an international football tournament, where teams are made up entirely of people who are homeless compete．The event has been held annually since 2003．
It was at the end of 2001 that Mel Young, a famous expert in the media industry, came up with the idea of the Homeless World Cup. 18 months later the first event took place in Austria. It was such a success that people decided to do more．
There are some interesting and special rules of the event．For example, players（male or female at least 16 years old）must have been homeless at some time after the previous-year's World Cup, or make their main living income by selling newspapers in the street, or be asylum（政治避难）seekers．Anyone can take part, regardless of his or her abilities．

Paris 2011 Homeless World Cup takes place August followed by the
Mexico City 2012 Homeless World Cup．
The success of the competition has been in two aspects—to attract the world's attention to the problems of homelessness and also to help participants live a better life．
According to a survey by the Homeless World Cup Organization after 2006 Homeless World Cup, 92% of the players had a new motivation for life, 93 players successfully got rid of their dependency on drugs and alcohol, 44% improved their housing situation and 72% continued to play football．

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you’ ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”
Remembering that I’ ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choice in life.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I would live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is my doctors’ code for preparing yourself to die.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. I was completely in despair. Later that evening, I had another examination and my wife told me that tumor turned to b e curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.
This was the closest I’ve been to facing death. To tell the truth, no one wants to die. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. It clears out the old to make room for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.
Your time is so limited that you shouldn’t waste it repeating someone else’s life. Don’ t be trapped by dogma（教条）—which is li ving with the results of other people’ s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions
drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart. It somehow already knows what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
47. The doctor advised the author to go home and get his affairs in order because_________.
A. he had to finish some important things before death
B. nobody could save him
C. he should spend his last days meaningfully
D.he had to be mentally prepared to die.
48．How did the author feel after the diagnosis?
A ．Hopeless
B ． Excited
C ． Optimistic
D ． Angry
49．What does the author think of death?
A ．He thinks it is impossible to avoid.
B ．He thinks it is not the end of life.
C ．He thinks it is nothing to be scared of.
D ．He thinks it is a mysterious journey.
50．In the author’ s opinion, we should ____________.
A ．follow others’ advice
B ．take no notice of diseases
C ．take exercise and keep healthy
D ．have the courage to follow our heart

第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语问答问题（请注意问题后词数要求）。
［1］When we were children, it seemed that father knew everything. When we grew up and father became older, sometimes we quarreled about our own views. So I try to get on well with father.
［2］Remember the age of father. Being aware of father’s age will help us to understand him better. He has lived in the years when attitudes towards matters, such as poverty, unemployment, higher education, were quite different from those in our time. Thus it is impossible for him to change mind totally.
［3］Listen to father. As we grew up, what our father has told us often sounds not sophisticated(圆滑的)enough from the world we live in today. Yet I have found that sometimes the words that my father told me long time ago are remarkably useful. If father knows we respect his point of view, even if we do not share it, it will help him feel close to us.
［4］Remember that father has a past. When he was young, he lived a hard life. He came from remote village. How to stay in a strange city and how to earn money are problems he met first. He must work hard and face all kinds of difficulties. Full of wisdom, courage and hope, at last. It is a part of his life that must have affected him deeply.
［5］Accept personality from father. Most of us have mixed feelings about taking after our father. We might feel fine about it when we are considering his admirable qualities. But we have realized that we and our fathers share those characteristics we do not admire. Accepting what we have inherited(继承)is important.
［6］Adopting any approach to get on well with our father is the issue of how we manage ourselves. We should keep a sense of humor with our father. Remember we will have our own child and surely we will be parents. Accepting and understanding our father is a part of our life.
56. What is the best title of this passage? (within 8 words)
57. What should we do to understand father better if we find the way he sees matters is quite different from ours?(within 8 words)
58. Fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph with proper words. (within 10 words)
59. Which sentence in the passage can replace the following one?
But we have come to know we both have the same features, even if we do not like them.
60. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.

参考例文
Nick is a 30-year-old Australian man, whose life is full of hardships. He was born without limbs. He used to be made fun of for looking like a monster. Everything seemed impossible to him. However, Nick never gave up. After many failures, he finally learned to swim, fish and even surf. What surprised us is that he completed a university education and got two bachelor’s degrees. And now he is the CEO of two companies.
When asked about the secret of his success, Nick’s answer is: Attitude is altitude. In his eyes, nothing is impossible if he is determined to overcome any difficulties. He thinks a positive attitude is the key to success.
After reading Nick’s story, I have been feeli ng inspired by his spirit. Compared with him, we are healthy enough to enjoy life. Somehow, we are always frustrated facing difficulties. I think Nick has set a good example to us. Try to appreciate what we do have and work on harder, and we will achieve success in the end.

2018年6月大学英语四级真题（第2套) Part I Writing （30 minutes） Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30minutes to write a shor t essay on the importance of writing ability and how to develop it.You should write at l east 120 words but no more than180 words. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Part II Listening Comprehension (25 minutes) Section A Directions: In this section, you will hear three news reports. At the end of each news report, you will hear two or three questions. Both the news report and the q uestions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.

III. Reading Comprehension Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. B Kettlebells do not hurt people. People do. A kettlebell will get your respect – the easy way or the hard way. Here is the easy way. 1. Get a medical clearance. Get clearance, especially from an orthopedist and a cardiologist. The latter is no joking matter, since kettlebell training can be extremely intense. 2. Always be aware of your surroundings. Find a training area with a non-slippery surface on which you are not afraid to drop a kettlebell. The area must be clear of objects you might trip over – including other kettlebells – or that you might hit with a kettlebell. There should be no people or animals in a radius where you could injure them. 3. Train barefoot or wear shoes with a flat, thin sole and room for the toes to spread. Training barefoot is superior for health and performance reasons. If you must wear shoes, wear Converse Chuck Taylors, Vibram Five Fingers, or similar shoes that have thin soles and do not pinch the toes together. You have sensory receptors on the bottoms of your feet that make you stronger and improve balance and coordination. Wearing traditional shoes diminishes the ability of these receptors to work properly, and therefore inhibits performance and can increase the risk of injury. Go native. 4. Never contest for space with a kettlebell. Do not try to save a rep that has gone wrong. Guide the kettlebell to fall harmlessly, and move out of the way if necessary. And remember, quick feet are happy feet. 5. Practice all safety measures at all times. Respect every kettlebell, even the lightest one. Always use perfect form picking up and setting down a kettlebell. The set is not over until the bell is safely parked.
