07级四级模拟题五答案（2008.6）Part I writing

Recreational activity

In people's daily life, there are various recreational activities apart from studying or working ranging from Karaoke or dancing to computer games or sports games.

Such activities are beneficial as well as harmful to us if undertaken inappropriately. On one hand, recreational activities can help us to not only build our body and mind but also improve our communication and understanding with friends because most of these activities are done with others. On the other hand, if we spend too much time on singing, dancing or other games, we might fail to concentrate on our duties such as studying our working, which in turn may lead to further consequences.

As far as I'm concerned, recreational activities should be done within a certain limit so that we can keep a proper balance between recreation and studying or working life. Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) 1.A 2.D 3.B 4.C 5.A 6.B 7.C

W: In the paper, it says there's a man going round pretending he's from the electricity board. He's been calling at people's homes, saying he's come to check that all their appliances are safe. Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea and while they are out of the room, he steals their money, handbag, whatever and makes off with it.

M: But you know Jane, it's partly their own fault. You should never let anyone like that in unless you are expecting them.

W: Yes, that's just it! It seems he used to work for the electricity board at one time.

I think a lot about time and not just because it's the name of the news organization I work for. Like most working people, I find time or the lack of it, are never ending frustration and an

unwinable battle. My every day is a race against the clock that I never ever seem to win. This is hardly a lonesome complaint, according to the families and work institutes, national study of the changing work force, 55% of the employees say they don't have enough time for themselves, 63% don't have enough time for their spouses or partners, and 67% don't have enough time for their

4

children. It's also not a new complaint. I bet our ancestors returned home from hunting wild animals and gathering nuts, and complained about how little time they had to paint battle scenes on their cave walls. The difference is that the boss of the animal hunting and the head of nut gathering probably told them to \demanding control over their time, the difference is: today's bosses are listening. I've been reading a report issued today called When Work Works, produced jointly by 3 organizations. They set out to find and award the employers who employ the most creative and most effective ways to give their workers flexibility. I found this report worth reading and suggest every boss should read it for ideas.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. What is the speaker complaining about?

He's in a hurry to work everyday and doesn't have enough spare time. 27. What does the speaker say about our ancestors?

They were busy with finding food outside in order to survive.

28. Why does the speaker suggest all bosses read the report by the 3 organizations? Because this report may help them keep their most creative and effective workers working without too much complaint.

Passage 2

Loving a child is a circular business. The more you give, the more you get. The more you want to give, Penalapy Leach once said. What she said proves to be true of my blended family. I was born in 1931as the youngest of 6 children, I learn to share my parents' love. Raising 6

children during the difficult times of the Great Depression took its toll on my parents' relationship and resulted in their divorce when I was 18 years old. Daddy never had very close relationships with his children and drifted even farther away from us after the divorce. Several years later, a wonderful woman came into his life, and they were married. She had 2 sons. One of them is still at home. Under her influence we became a blended family and a good relationship developed between the 2 families. She always treated us as if we were her own children. It was because of our other mother, daddy's second wife, that he became closer to his own children. They shared over 25 years together before our father passed away. At the time of his death, the question came up of my mother, daddy's first wife, attending his funeral. I will never forget the unconditional love shown by my stepmother, when I asked her if she would object to mother attending daddy's funeral. Without giving it a second thought, she immediately replied, \the mother of my children.\

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you've just heard. 29. According to the speaker, what contributed to her parents' divorce? The difficult time of the Great Depression 30. What brought his father closer to his children? A wonderful woman, his stepmother
