08年12月大学英语四级A卷(真题,答案)篇一：2021年12月20日大学英语四级真题及答案新东方：2021年12月四级写作范文一、Limiting The Use of Disposable Plastic Bag 1.一次性塑料袋曾被广泛的使用 2.造成的问题 3.限制使用的意义 Disposable plastic bags were once widely used in China. When we went shopping at supermarkets and departments stores, shopping assistants often provided free plastic bags for our convenience. For a while, life without them seemed unimaginable for most of us. However, disposable plastic bags do bring severe damage to our environment. Costumers usually threw them away after use, and because they are thin and hard to decompose, these plastic products will exist for a long time. This is an immediate threat to our earth and water. Nowadays, the government has passed relevant regulations for limiting the use of disposable plastic bags: they are not free any more. In some shopping places, in order to invoke the public awareness of environmental protection, plastic bags are offered in a much higher price. As a result, people are changing their behavior: paper and clothing bags that vanished for a long time come back to our daily life. It is true that by limiting its usage, everyone in this society contributes some effort to the improvement of the environment. Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes) Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-7,choose the best answer from the four choices marked A),B),C) and D).For questions 8-10,complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. That?s enough, kids It was a lovely day at the park and Stella Bianchi was enjoying the sunshine with her two children when a young boy, aged about four, approached her two-year-old son and pushed him to the ground. “I?d watched him for a little while and my son was the fourth or fifth child he?d shoved,” she says.” I went over to them, picked up my son, turned to the boy and said, firmly, ?No, we don?t push,” What happened next was unexpected. “The boy?s mother ran toward me from across the park,” Stella says,” I thought she was coming over to apologize, but instead she started shouting at me for disciplining her child, All I did was let him know his behavior was unacceptable. Was I supposed to sit back while her kid did whatever he wanted, hurting other children in the process?” Getting your own children to play nice is difficult enough. Dealing with other people?s children has become a minefield. In my house, jumping on the sofa is not allowed. In my sister?s house it?s encouraged. For her, it?s about kids being kids:”If you can?t do it at three, when can you do it?” Each of these philosophies is valid an、d, it has to be said, my son loves visiting his aunt?s house. But I find myself saying “no” a lot when her kids are over at mine. That?s OK between sisters but becomes dangerous territory when you?re talking to the children of friends or acquaintances. “Kids aren?t all raised the same,” agrees Profe、ssor Naomi White of Monash University.” But there is still an idea that they?re the property of the parent. We see our children as an extension of ourselves, so if you?re saying that my child is behaving inappropriately, then that?s somehow a criticism of me.”In those circumstances, it?s difficult to know whether to approach the child directly or the parent first. There are two schools of thought.

考题资料：According to our research, Best Buy in China was perceived as being too expensive, with many of their products priced higher than in local markets. Why buy a Sony DVD player or Nokia phone at Best Buy when you can pay less for the exact same product at a local store？Consumers will only be willing to pay more, like at the Apple stores, if they are buying something they cannot get elsewhere. While scales of economy have allowed big China stores in America to offer cheaper prices than niche players, local retailers in China are able to undercut prices because they pay less in salaries, benefits, rent, and electricity. Rampant piracy in China also means local computers shops are willing to install counterfeit Microsoft software in products, which makes it more appealing for customers. Apart from failing to differentiate its product lines, Best Buy also made the mistake of focusing on building large flagship stores, like in the U.S, rather than smaller, conveniently located retail outlets. China may have one of the highest car adoption rates in the world, but its perennial traffic congestions and lack of parking mean consumers often prefer to shop closer to their homes. A government ban on free shopping bags have also resulted in consumers shopping more often, but buying less each time, further fueling the popularity of neighborhood stores.What can be inferred from the third paragraph? Shopping at neighborhood stores are more of Chinese consumers shopping habit.B.Large flagship stores are unpopular in China. C.Americans do not like small, conveniently located retail outlets. D.government ban on free shopping bags has dampened Chinese buyers enthusiasm.答案：A解析：本题考查的是推理判断。【关键词】inferred; the third paragraph【主题句】第3自然段 Apart from failing to differentiate its product lines, Best Buy also made the mistake of focusing on building large flagship stores, like in the U.S, rather than smaller, conveniently located retail outlets.China may have one of the highest car adoption rates in the world, but its perennial traffic congestion and lack of parking mean consumers often prefer to shop closer to their homes. A government ban on free shopping bags have also resulted in consumers shopping more often, but buying less each time, further fueling the popularity of neighborhood stores. 除了未能对其产品线进行区分之外，百思买也犯了一个错误，即效仿美国专注于建设大型旗舰店，而不是打造更小巧、更便利的零售商店。中国可能是世界上汽车使用率最高的国家之一，但其常年的交通拥堵和停车位不足意味着消费者往往更喜欢在离家较近的地方购物。政府对免费购物袋的禁令也导致消费者购物更频繁，但每次购物的次数都减少了，这进一步刺激了社区商店的人气。【解析】题干意为“从第3自然段可以推断出什么？” 选项A意为“在附近商店购物更多的是中国消费者的购物习惯”；选项B意为“大型旗舰店在中国不受欢迎”；选项C意为“美国人不喜欢小的，位置便利的零售店”；选项D意为“政府禁止免费购物袋阻碍了中国买家的积极性”。根据主题句，由于交通拥堵、停车位不足以及免费购物袋禁令使得消费者更愿意在社区附近购物，因此可推断选项A正确；选项B、C、D文章未提及，不符合题意。

China may have one of the highest car adoption rates in the world, but its perennial traffic congestions and lack of parking mean consumers often prefer to shop closer to their homes.

B.Western retailers cannot succeed in Chinese market. C.In China owing a car does not necessarily mean efficient travel. D.To start a successful business, a better understanding of consumer preference is important.答案：B解析：本题考查的是细节理解。【关键词】following statement; not true【主题句】第2自然段 Rampant piracy in China also means local computers shops are willing to install counterfeit Microsoft software in products, which makes it more appealing for customers.中国猖獗的盗版行为也意味着，当地的电脑商店愿意在产品中安装盗版软件，这使其对消费者更有吸引力。第3自然段 China may have one of the highest car adoption rates in the world, but its Perennial traffic congestions and lack of parking mean consumers often prefer to shop closer to their homes. 中国可能是世界上汽车使用率最高的国家之一，但其常年的交通拥堵和停车位不足意味着消费者往往更喜欢在离家较近的地方购物。【解析】题干意为“以下哪一句话是错误的？”。选项A意为“中国市场需要更多的监管”，根据主题句可知，中国盗版猖獗，因而需要监管，选项A正确；选项B意为“西方零售商无法在中国市场成功”，文章只介绍了百思买的失败案例，不能推及全部零售商；选项C意为“在中国，有汽车也不一定意味着高效的旅行”，由于中国交通拥堵和停车位不足，所以根据推断选项C正确；选项D意为“要成功开展业务，更好地了解消费者的偏好很重要”，与题意相符。故选B。

考题资料：According to our research, Best Buy in China was perceived as being too expensive, with many of their products priced higher than in local markets. Why buy a Sony DVD player or Nokia phone at Best Buy when you can pay less for the exact same product at a local store？Consumers will only be willing to pay more, like at the Apple stores, if they are buying something they cannot get elsewhere. While scales of economy have allowed big China stores in America to offer cheaper prices than niche players, local retailers in China are able to undercut prices because they pay less in salaries, benefits, rent, and electricity. Rampant piracy in China also means local computers shops are willing to install counterfeit Microsoft software in products, which makes it more appealing for customers. Apart from failing to differentiate its product lines, Best Buy also made the mistake of focusing on building large flagship stores, like in the U.S, rather than smaller, conveniently located retail outlets. China may have one of the highest car adoption rates in the world, but its perennial traffic congestions and lack of parking mean consumers often prefer to shop closer to their homes. A government ban on free shopping bags have also resulted in consumers shopping more often, but buying less each time, further fueling the popularity of neighborhood stores.What is the most likely content the speaker discussed before these three paragraphs？ Best Buy's failure in China.B.Chinese local retailers' reason for success. C.Overseas retailers' struggle in the Chinese market. D.The development of retail industry in China.答案：A解析：本题考查的是推理判断。【关键词】most likely content; discussed before these three paragraphs【主题句】第1自然段 According to our research, Best Buy in China was perceived as being too expensive, with many of their products priced higher than in local markets. 根据我们的研究，中国的百思买被认为太贵了，他们的许多产品的价格都高于当地市场。第3自然段 Apart from failing to differentiate its product lines, Best Buy also made the mistake of focusing on building large flagship stores, like in the U.S, rather than smaller, conveniently located retail outlets.除了未能对其产品线进行区分之外，百思买也犯了一个错误，即效仿美国专注于建设大型旗舰店，而不是打造更小巧、更便利的零售商店。【解析】题干意为“在这三段之前，作者最有可能讨论的内容是什么？” 根据主题句可知，本文主要内容是百思买为什么在中国失败，因此在这之前可能讨论的内容是百思买在中国的失败，故选A。选项B意为“中国本土零售商成功原因”，选项C意为“海外的零售商在中国的艰难境地”，涵盖的范围太广，本文未提及其他的海外零售商。选项D意为“中国零售业发展”，均与题意不符。

考题共用题干 Pedestrians Only1 .The concept of traffic-free shopping areas goes back a long time.During the Middle Ages,traffic-free shopping areas were built in Middle Eastern countries to allow people to shop in comfort and,more importantly,safety.As far back as 2,000 years ago,road traffic was banned from central Rome during the day to allow for the free movement of pedestrians （行人）,and was only allowed in at night when shops and markets had closed for the day.In most other cities,however,pedestrians were forced to share the streets with horses,coaches and,later,with cars and other motorized vehicles.2 .The modem,traffic-free shopping street was born in Europe in the 1960s when both city populations and car ownership increased rapidly.Dirty gases from cars and the risks involved in crossing the road were beginning to make shopping an unpleasant and dangerous experience.Many believed the time was right for experimenting with car-free streets and shopping areas seemed the best place to start.3 .At first,there was resistance from shopkeepers.They believed that such a move would be bad for business.They argued that people would avoid streets if they were unable to get to them in their cars.When the first streets in Europe were closed to traffic,there were even noisy demonstrations,as may shopkeepers predicted they would lose customers.4 .However,research carried out afterwards in several European cities revealed some unexpected statistics.In Munich,Cologne and Hamburg,visitors to shopping areas increased by 5Opercent.On Copenhagen's main shopping street,shopkeepers reported sales increases of 25-40 percent.Shopkeepers in Minneapolis,the USA,were so impressed when they learnt this that they even offered to pay for the construction and maintenance costs of their own traffic-free streets.5 .With the arrival of the traffic-free shopping street,many shops,especially those selling things like clothes,food and smaller luxury items,prospered.Unfortunately,it wasn't good news for everyone, as shops selling furniture and larger electrical appliances（电器）actually saw their sales drop.Many of these were forced to move elsewhere,away from the city centre.Paragraph 4______A:A Need For ChangeB:An Idea from Ancient HistoryC:Popularity of Online ShoppingD:Facing Protest from Shop OwnersE:Increase in Sales and CustomersF:An Experiment that Went Wrong答案：E解析：文章第一段第一句是主题句，意为：步行购物区的概念由来已久。B项A。 idea from ancient history（来自古代的想法）与主题句意思相符，故选B。文章第二段主要讲，随着人口和车辆的增加，车辆排放的尾气及对人身安全的威胁使购物变成一种不愉快且危险的体验。很多人认为是时候试行无车辆街道了，而步行购物区便是最好的开始。A项A Need for Change（需要改变）符合本段主题，故选A。文章第三段第一句是主题句，意为：一开始，（步行购物区）受到来自店主的阻力。D项Facing Protest from Shop Owners（面临店主的抗议）与主题句意思相符，故选D。文章第四段主要讲研究发现步行购物区在一些欧洲国家呈现出了意想不到的统计数据。很多城市的消费者数量和销售额都有提高。这让美国明尼阿波利斯市备受鼓舞，他们还主动出钱建设和维护自己的步行购物街。E项Increase in Sales and Customers(销售额和顾客的增加）符合本段主题，故选E。题干意为“步行购物街首先在中东国家发展起来。”文章第一段前两句指出，步行购物区的概念由来已久，在中世纪，中东一些国家建成步行购物区，让人们在舒适，更重要的是安全的环境下购物。E项Middle Eastern countries（中东国家）与原句意思相符，故选E。题干意为“在20世纪60年代，汽车排放的肮脏的尾气使购物变成了不好的体验。”文章第二段第二句指出，车辆排放的尾气及对人身安全的威胁使购物变成一种不愉快且危险的体验。D项a bad experience（一种不好的体验）与原句意思相符，故选D。题干意为“店主错误地认为没有车辆的街道会让顾客远离。”文章第三段最后一句指出，在欧洲，当第一批街道禁止车辆进入时甚至引起了喧闹的游行示威，因为很多店主预测他们会失去顾客。C项customers（顾客）与原句意思相符，故选C。题干意为“步行购物街的到来使很多家具商丢掉生意。”文章最后一段第二句指出，不幸的是，这对每个人来说并不都是好消息，因为很多卖家具和大型电器的店铺确实看到了销售额的下降。F项furniture sellers（家具商）与原句意思相符，故此选F。
