A poisonous fish which has a sting strong enough to kill a human is invading the Mediterranean,warned scientists. (Q1)The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (UICN) has raised concerns after the poisonous fish was spotted in the water around Turkey,Cyprus and the eastern Mediterranean. Native to the South Pacific and Indian Ocean,the potentially deadly fish has poisonous hooks and a painful sting capable of killing people. Although fatalities are rare,the stings can cause extreme pain and stop people breathing. The fish,often known as Devil Firefish,is a highly invasive species.And environmentalists fear its arrival could endanger other types of marine life. (Q2)After being spotted in the Mediterranean,a marine scientist says,“The fish is spreading,and that’s a cause for concern.”

Q1: What is reported in the news?

Q2: What is the environmentalists’ concern of the spread of Devil Firefish in the Mediterranean?

【Q3】Almost half the centre of Paris will be accessible only by foot or bicycle this Sunday to mark World Car-Free Day. 【Q4】This is in response to rising air pollution that made Paris the most polluted city in the world for a brief time.Mayor Anne Hidalgo promoted the first World Car Free Day last year. Hidalgo also has supported a Paris Breathes Day. On the first Sunday of every month,Paris clears traffic from eight lanes of the main road. About 400 miles of streets will be closed to cars. It is expected to bring significant reduction in pollution levels. “Last year’s car-free day showed a 40% drop in pollution levels in some parts of the city,according to an independent air pollution monitor”,reports the Guardian,“and some levels dropped by 50% in the city centre.”

Q3: What will happen on World Car Free Day in Paris?

Q4: What motivated the mayor of Paris to promote the first World Car Free Day in her city?

News report 3

A Philippine fisherman was feeling down on his luck when[Q5] a housefire forced him to[Q6] clear out his possessions and change locations.Then,a good luck charm that he had kept under his bed changed his life.

The unidentified man had fished out a giant pearl from the ocean when his anchor got stuck on the rock while sailing off a coastal island in the Philippines ten years ago.

When [Q6] he was forced to sell it,the shocked tourist agent at Puerto Princesca told him[Q7] that the 77-pound giant pearl that he had kept hidden in his rundown wooden house was the biggest pearl in the world,which was valued at £76 million.

The pearl of Allah,which is currently on display in a New York museum,mind,only weighs 14 pounds. That is five times smaller than the pearl that the fisherman just handed in.,

The monstrous pearl,measured at 1 foot wide and 2.2 feet long,is going to be verified by local experts and international authorities before hopefully going on display to attract more tourists in the little town.

Q5: What happened to the Philippine fisherman one day?

Q6: What was the fisherman forced to do?

Q7: What did the fisherman learn from the tourist agent?

WOMAN: Mr. Smith,It’s a pleasure meeting you!

Man: Nice to meet you,too. What can I do for you?

WOMAN: Well,I’m here to show you what our firm can do for you.Astro Consultants has branches in over fifty countries,offering different business services. We’re a global company with 75 years of history. And our clients include some of the world’s largest companies【8】.

MAN: Thank you,Mrs. Houston. I know Astro Consultants is a famous company. But you said you would show me what you could do for me. Well. What exactly can your firm do for my company?

WOMAN: We advise businesses on all matters,from market analysis to legal issues. Anything a business like yours could meet. Our firm offers expert advice. Could I ask you,Mr. Smith,to tell me a little about your company and the challenges you face? That way,I could better respond as to how we can help you.

Man: OK,sure.This is a family business started by my grandfather in 1950. We employ just over 100 people. We manufacture an export stone for buildings and other constructions. Our clients usually want a special kind of stone cut in a special design. And that’s what we do in our factory【9】. Our main challenge is that our national currency is rising,and we’re losing competitive advantages to stone produces in India【10】.

WOMAN: I see. That’s very interesting.I will suggest that you let us first conduct a financial analysis of your company,together with the analysis of your competitors in India.【11】That way,we could offer the best advice on different ways forward for you.

Question 8-11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Q8: What do we learn about the woman’s company?

Q9: What does the man say about his own company?

Q10: What is the main problem with the man’s company?

Q11: What does the woman suggest doing to help the man’s company?

Woman: Wow,congratulations,Simon! The place looks absolutely amazing!

Man: Really? You think so?

W: Of course. I love it. It looks like you had a professional interior designer. But you didn’t,did you?

M: No. I did it all by myself with a little help from my brother,Greg. He’s actually in the construction business,which was really helpful.

W: Honestly,I’m impressed! I know I can probably repaint the walls in my house over a weekend or something,but not a full renovation. Where did you get your ideas? I wouldn’t know where to start.[12]

M: Well,for a while now,I’ve been regularly buying home design magazines. Every now and then,I’d saved the pictures I liked. Believe it or not,I have a full notebook of magazine pages. [13] Since by overall style was quite minimal,I thought and hoped a whole renovation wouldn’t be too difficult. And sure enough,with Greg’s help,it was very achievable.

W: Wasn’t it expensive? I have imagined a project like this could be.

M: Actually,it was surprisingly affordable. I managed to sell a lot of my old furniture and put that extra money towards the new material. [14] Greg was also able to get some discount materials from a recent project he was working on as well.

W: Great! If you don’t mind,I’d like to pick your brain a bit more. Johansson and I are thinking of renovating our sitting room,not the whole house,not yet anyway. And we’d love to get some inspiration from your experience. [15] Are you free to come over for a coffee early next week?

Q12: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?

Q13: Where did the man get his ideas for the project?)

Q14: What did the man say about the project he recently completed?

Q15: Why does the woman invite the man to her house next week?

Section C

Passage 1

Removing foreign objects from ears and noses costs England almost £3m a year,a study suggests.[Q16]Children were responsible for the vast majority of cases - 95% of objects removed from noses and 85% from ears. Every year,an average of 1,218 nose and 2,479 ear removals took place between 2010 and 2016.According to England's Hospital Episode Statistics,children aged one to four were the most likely to need help from doctors for a foreign object in their nose. Five to nine year olds come to the hospital with something in their ear the most. Jewelry items accounted for up to 40% of cases in both the ears and noses of children. [Q17]Paper and plastic toys were the items removed next most from noses. Cotton buds and pencils were also found in ears.

According to the study,the occurrence of foreign objects in children is generally attributed to curiosity. Children have an impulse to explore their noses and ears. This results in the accidental entry of foreign objects. [Q18]Any ear,nose and throat surgeon has many weird stories about wonderful objects found in the noses and ears of children and adults. Batteries can pose a particular danger. In all cases,prevention is better than cure. This is why many toys contain warnings about small parts. Recognizing problems early and seeking medical attention is important.

Q16: What does England spend an annual £3m on?

Q17: What do we learn from England's Hospital Episode Statistics?

Q18: What is generally believed to account for children putting things in their ears or noses?

Section C

Passage Two

Good morning,I’d like to talk to you about my charity ReBicycle. But before that,let me introduce someone. This is Leila Rahimi. She was so scared when she first moved to New Zealand that she struggled to leave the house and would spend days working up the courage to walk to the supermarket for basic supplies. After a few months of being quite down and unhappy,she was invited to join a local bike club.At this time,ReBicycle got involved and gave Leila a second-hand bicycle.[Q19]In weeks,her depression had begun to ease as she cycled. The bicycle totally changed her life,giving her hope and a true feeling of freedom.

To date,ReBicycle has donated more than 200 bikes to those in need,and is now expanding bike-riding lessons as demand soars.[Q20]With a bike,you can travel farther but for almost no cost. The three hours a day that used to spend on walking to and from English language lessons has been reduced to just one hour.Our bike-riding lessons are so successful that we are urgently looking for more volunteers. [Q21]Learning to ride a bike is almost always more difficult as an adult,and this can take days and weeks,rather than hours. So,if any of you have some free time during the weekend,please come join us at ReBicycle and make a difference in someone’s life.

Q19: What did ReBicycle do to help Leila Rahimi?

Q20: What is ReBicycle doing to help those in need?

Q21: What do we learn from the passage about the ReBicycle?

Passage 3

Thanks to the International Space Station we know quite a bit about the effects of low gravity on the human body,but NASA scientists want to learn more. To that end,they have been studying how other species deal with low gravity,specifically focusing on mice(Q22). The results are both interesting and humorous.

The scientists first send some mice in a specially designed cage to the International Space Station. The cage allowed them to study the behavior of the mice remotely from Earth via video. As you noticed in the video,the mice definitely seem uncomfortableat the beginning of the experiment. They move around clumsily,drifting within the small confines of the cage and do their best to figure out which way is up,but without success. (Q23) However,it’s not long before the mice begin to catch on. They adapt remarkably well to their new environment and even using the lack of gravity to their advantage as they push themselves around the cage.

That’s when things really get wild.The 11th dayof the experiment shows the mice are not just dealing with the gravity change but actually seem to be enjoying it. (Q24) Several of the mice are observed running around the cage walls.

The scientists wanted to see whether the mice would continue doing the same kinds of activities they were observed doing on Earth.The study showed thatthe mice kept much of their routines intact,including cleaning themselves and eating when hungry. (Q25)

Q22 What do Nasa scientists want to learn about?

Q23 What does the passage say about the miceat the beginning ofthe experiment?

Q24 What was observed about the miceon the 11th dayof the experiment?

Q25 What did the scientists find about the mice from the experiment?

生活在中国不同地区的人们饮食多种多样。北方人主要吃面食,南方人大多吃米饭。在沿海地区,海鲜和淡水水产品在人们饮食中占有相当大的比例,而在其他地区人们的饮食中,肉类和奶制品更为常见。四川、湖南等省份的居民普遍爱吃辛辣食物,而江苏和浙江人更喜欢甜食。然而,因为烹饪方式各异,同类食物的味道可能会有所不同。

People living in different parts of China have a variety of diets. Northerners mainly eat food made from wheat,whereas southerners mostly eat rice. In coastal areas,marine and freshwater products account for a considerable part of people’s diets,while in other areas,meat and dairy products are more common. Residents in provinces like Sichuan and Hunan enjoy food which is hot and spicy,while people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang prefer sweet food. However,same food can taste different due to the diversity in cooking methods.

第二套

春节前夕吃团圆饭是中国人的传统。团圆饭是一年中最重要的晚餐,也是家庭团聚的最佳时机,家人生活在不同地方的家庭尤其如此。团圆饭上的菜肴丰富多样,其中有些菜肴有特殊含义。例如,鱼是不可缺少的一道菜,因为汉语中的“鱼”字和“余”字听上去一样。在中国的许多地方,饺子也是一道重要的佳肴,因为饺子象征着财富和好运。

It’s a tradition for Chinese people to have a reunion dinner on Chinese New Year’s Eve. Considered as the most important meal of the entire year,the New Year’s Eve dinner is the perfect time for family reunion,especially for family members who live apart. There are many dishes on the reunion dinner,some of which have special meanings. For example,fish is a must-have dish because its name sounds similar to another Chinese character “Yu”,which means abundant profit. Another important dish served in many places of China is dumpling because it’s the symbol of fortune and good luck.

第三套

鱼是春节前夕餐桌上不可或缺的一道菜,因为汉语中“鱼”字的发音与“余”字的发音相同。正由于这个象征性的含义,春节期间鱼也作为礼物被送给亲戚朋友。鱼的象征意义据说源于中国传统文化。中国人有节省的传统,他们认为节省的越多,就越感到安全。今天,尽管人们越来越富裕了,但他们仍然认为节省是一种值得弘扬的美德。

Fish is an indispensable dish on the Spring Festival’s feast because "fish" sounds the same as "abundance" or “surplus” in Chinese. It is because of such symbolic meaning that fish is sent as a gift among relatives and friends during the Spring Festival. This symbolic meaning of fish is said to originate from traditional Chinese culture. The Chinese have a tradition of frugality. They believe the more they save,the more secure they feel. In this day and age,although people are getting more affluent,they still regard thrifty as a virtue worth praising.

2020年12月英语四级作文答案:沟通方式的变化

Changes in the way of communication

In the 21st century,science and technology is developing in an unprecedent way,thus changing our lives in every respect,especially in the way of communication. People have different views regarding whether the way of communication has changed for the better or for the worse.

Some people hold that technology has made communication ever convenient. In the past,people had to talk face-to-face,which could be very time-consuming. Now,with the advent of smart phones,people no longer communicate in the old ways. Instead,most people text,send voice messages and make video calls through social networking apps such as Wechat. No matter where you are,communication can be done in a blink of the eye.

However,others regard technology as the culprit behind a decline in face-to-face talking. They believe that the best way of communicating is face-to-face talking for communication. It is not only about languages,but also emotions and feelings. Therefore,people should make the effort to avoid becoming over-reliant on our devices.
