Saddest of all is when children catch a glimpse of the masked the fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster. To prevent such tragedies, fire fighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire. He displays fire fighters equipment, including the oxygen mask, which he encourages his listeners to play with and put on. “If you see us,” Velez tells them, “dont hide! We are not monsters. We have come to rescue you.” Velez gives his presentations in English and Spanish. Growing up in San Francisco, he learnt Spanish from his immigrant parents. Velez and other fire fighters throughout North America, who give similar presentations, will never know how many lives they save through their talks. But its a fact that informative speaking saves lives. For example, several months after listening to an informative speech, Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food, by using the method taught by student speaker, Julie Paris. In addition to saving lives, informative speakers help people learn new skills, solve problems and acquire fascinating facts about the exciting world in which they live.26 Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked fire fighters?27 What does the passage tell us about fire fighter Eric Velez?28 What do we learn about Pete Gentry?29 What message is the speaker trying to convey?Passage TwoSome people want to make and save a lot of money in order to retire early. I see people pursuing higher paying and increasingly demanding careers to accomplish this goal. They make many personal sacrifices in exchange for income today. The problem is that tomorrow might not come. Even if it all goes according to plan, will you know how to be happy when you are not working if you spend your entire life making money? More importantly, who will be around for you to share your leisure time with? At the other extreme are people who live only for today. Why bother saving when I might not be here tomorrow, they argue. The danger of this approach is that tomorrow may come after all. And most people dont want to spend all their tomorrows working for a living. The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficult not to work when you are older. You maybe surprise to hear me say that if you must pick an extreme I think its better to pick the spend-all approach. As long as you dont mind continuing to work, assuming your health allows, you should be OK. At least, you are making use of your money, and hopefully deriving value and pleasure from it. Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake. It may never come. Retirement can be a great time for some people. For others, it is a time of boredom, loneliness and poor health.30 Why do some people pursue higher paying but demanding careers?31 What is the danger facing people who live only for today?32 What does the speaker seem to advocate?Passage ThreeImagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law, and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion. How fair will that be? Well, it happens everyday to high schoolers. Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like thieves. Even though Id never steal.Store employees looked at me like Im some kind of hardened criminal. For example, during one lunch period, my friend Denny and I went to the Graben Gore Restaurant to have a hot dog. We arrived to find a line of students waiting outside. A new sign in the window told the story. “No more than two students at a time”. After 15 minutes, we finally got in. But the store manger laid the evil eye on us. I asked him about the new sign, and he said, “You kids are stealing too much stuff.” You kids? Too much stuff? We were not only assumed to be thieves, but brilliant, greedy thieves. The most annoying thing though, is the way employees watched my friends and me. Its horrible.Once, at a drug store, I was looking around and found a guy standing on a large box, stocking the shelves. He was watching my hands, more than he was watching his own. I showed him that my hands were empty. He got down off his box and rushed off, as if he was going to get the store manger. How crazy is that!33. What does the speaker find to be unfair?34. What measure did the Graben Gore Restaurant take to stop stealing?35. What happened in a drug store that greatly annoyed the speaker?Section CWriting keeps us in touch with other people. We write to communicate with relatives and friends. We write to preserve our family histories so our children and grandchildren can learn and appreciate their heritage. With computers and Internet connections in so many households, colleges, and businesses, people are e-mailing friends and relatives all the time - or talking to them in writing in online chat rooms. It is cheaper than calling long distance, and a lot more convenient than waiting until Sunday for the telephone rates to drop. Students are e-mailing their professors to receive and discuss their classroom assignments and to submit them. They are e-mailing classmates to discuss and collaborate on homework. They are also sharing information about concerts and sports events, as well as jokes and their philosophies of life.Despite the growing importance of computers, however, there will always be a place and need for the personal letter. A hand-written note to a friend or a family member is the best way to communicate important thoughts. No matter what the content of the message, its real point is, I want you to know that I care about you. This writing practice brings rewards that cant be seen in bank accounts, but only in the success of human relationships.How Should Parents Help Students to Be Independent1、目前不少父母为孩子包办一切2、为了让孩子独立，父母应该In recent years, floods of parents are willing to make arrangements and decisions for their children. And theres no denying that majority of children take their parents concerns for granted. According to statistics, over 80% of parents still accompany their children to the universities, even the examinations. In this essay, I will discuss the measures that should be taken to help students be independent and offer my view on it.First and foremost, parents should abandon the stereotyped role in Chinese parenting and render their children free to the fascinating world. Besides, we, the children themselves, should manage our own daily stuffs. In addition, the society should set up more courses and camps for children to cultivate their capability to be independent.As far as Im concerned, the all-covering parenting method may give rise to severe consequences, and a spoiled child wont be competitive in this world full of the fierce competitions. Thus, the whole society should attach great importance to this problem and make our contribution to avoid this. 2010年12月英语四级作文解析此次四级作文仍然是常考的议论文文体。属我们课堂上练习的第一类议论文：现象解释型议论文。所考题目为父母包办一切热点话题型，所以写作套路基本上可以按照我们hot issue 型模板进行微调写作。此次应试作文在写作时还需要注意以下几点：1、文章directions 只有两段，这样按照平时的三段式作文的话，大家可以自由多加一段即可，比如在1和2之间加一个话题：比如父母包办一切的原因；或者是此种做法带来的后果等等。2、第一段在引入话题的时候，可以用我们课上所讲画面内容中译英的方法，将大家首先想到的内容用英文表达出来。3. 在讲原因或者影响及措施时， 大家可以结合社会现实，家长溺爱孩子和现在的孩子独立性差都表现在哪些方面，如：生活不能自理，甚至升学，进大学以后，更有甚者工作后的“啃老族”等等都可以写，相应的措施也应从家长，社会及孩子本身等方面写起。4、就题目而言，independent 是四级高频词汇，在写的过程中，一定不能在出新拼写错误，那样失分就可惜了。此次作文整体话题特点仍然是越来越贴近实事，内容是大家关注的家庭教育方面。总体构架并不难，估计广大考生在这次的作文中不会有太大失分！对于以后的四级写作话题趋势，希望考生还是可以关注教育类高频词汇，文章模板还是以解释型议论文为主。2010年12月英语四级听力答案 11.A, get12.B, buying13.A, taking p14.B, he15.D, he16.C, her gym17.D, The18.A，Indifferent.19.C ，he has20.B，learn21.C, every22.A, what to23.D.

Well! It happens everyday to high-schoolers. 一些高中生犯了错所有的高中生都会受到惩罚。作者开门见山的提出了一个非常不公平的待遇，这句话即是第33题的答案。结尾作者讲述了一个故事，一些高中生偷东西被抓，导致作者自己去商店明明没有偷东西却当做做小偷。这个故事即是第35题的答案。2010年12月英语四级听力短对话解析这次的听力短对话从总体来说难度不大，打破了大家对于12月难度高于6月的迷思。短对话每个话题都与我们上课时给同学总结的场景是一样的，有一个工作，两个医疗，两个交通（一个天上一个地面），两个住房，还有一个旅游。其中的场景词汇相信大家都非常熟悉了，比如heat, restaurant, director, physical training, worth, recommend, absent-minded, pay a fine, refrigerator, put off, downtown, apartment, rest. 其中上过昂立课的同学最大的惊喜应该就是短对话的第十八题了，和我们课上做的补充短对话第六类建议请求类的倒数第二题是一模一样的，讲的几个核心词组是fall on the ice, black and blue, rest it. 我记得在课上的时候还特意跟同学们讲过我们中文当中讲“青一块紫一块”，而英文里面讲的是“黑一块蓝一块”，所以答案的意思应该是“接下来的几天避免用到手”。另外一个我们总结的短对话技巧“but后面有考题”在这次考试当中也得到了验证，第12和13题都是。12题讲的是 “but I wish the director would give me some feedback.”指的是希望主管能给她一些反馈，体现了这个员工的积极进取性。13题讲的是but whatever you do, be careful not to overdo it，这是非常典型的祈使建议句，听到了这个就是答案所在了，要适度做训练，而不应该训练过度，也就不用再纠结于后面的句子。听过了12月18号的短对话，各位同学也应该再次深刻地感受到“听主干，听谓宾”的重要性了，只要抓住核心场景词汇，8道短对话要做对6题will not be a dream.2010年12月英语四级复合式听写答案Writing keeps us in touch with other people.
