2011年12月大学英语四级真题答案WritingNothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will No great work can be performed without will. We envy famous men and imagine that fame was due to some trick of luck. But when we know their histories, we find that it is long years of will and constant effort that have brought about their success. Just as we cant reach the top of a mountain without climbing, we cant achieve success without will. The modern society provides people with more opportunities than before, and there are stories which tell us the possibility of becoming successful overnight. Actually that is not the case. Before these people become successful, a lot of hard work has been done, unnoticed mostly. What we usually see is the result, but what we ignore is a long process of struggling forward and wrestling with internal or external obstacles. Take “quitting smoking” for example, which is , to most people , a difficult task, so people always give up the idea for they dont have the strong will. In a nutshell, strong will is an important condition or role of the success the individual should desire to maintain forever. There is no instant success in this world. Strong will is the best policy to make your life distinct and your dreams come true.

According to a recent survey conducted by Sina Weibo, an immensely popular microblogging service in the Middle Kingdom, approximately 90 percent of the respondents have once done web shopping。It is beyond doubt that Internet shopping enjoys a host of virtues. To name only a few: the prices of the commodities and services you desire to purchase are typically lower in online shops than those in physical ones, and the sellers in some cases grant a bulk discount of some stuff possessing the same quality as offline items to consumers in an effort to boost sales volume; web-based shopping, to some extent, empowers customers to become increasingly adept at employing the Internet to determine how to spend their money offline。Despite the various strengths of Internet-based shopping, the dark sides of it also exist, however. Take a concrete example. A tiny minority of merchants with evil motives use the false information to trick people into parting with credit cards and other personal details, which cost consumers dearly.From my own perspective, the benefits of online shopping outweigh its disadvantages. Simply put, we are supposed to capitalize on its merits to serve our purposes and do all in our power to minimize its adverse impacts on us meanwhile.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1-7 BABCC DB8.

Some parents believe that this is love, however, it is only to destroy childrens independence thoroughly.For the future of the next generation, more efforts should be made by parents to help their children to be independent. The fundamental one is to cultivate the awareness, namely, the importance and necessity of being independent, which is supposed to begin from childhood. Children should be taught that no one can be stronger and more helpful than themselves in this world.The quality of independence is so indispensable for us that parents had better act as a tutor, not a dictator. And only with parents trust, can the next generation accumulate confidence step by step.版本二：Thanks to the “family plan” policy, today in China many families have one child. Loving and caring for children is an old Chinese tradition that has remained for thousands of years. But the children are spoilt so much that they have less independence. They rely on their parents in everything. That is bad for a childs growing. Therefore, parents should develop the childrens independence instead of doing everything for them.There are some ways to help children to be independent. First of all, you should believe your children can do the things well. Second, give them more chances to practice, when they dont know how to do it, just tell them the way. Third, dont be afraid to see them fail. In the beginning, they may do something bad. But dont worry, just let them try again. They can do the work as well as you if given more time.To be independent is good for the children. A child who is independent will succeed easily in the future.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)17 ADBDB BC 8. separated9. the wild world10. harmonyPart III Listening Comprehension短对话11-18 DDCCC BCD长对话19-25 DAAAB CC短文：26-35 DBADC ABCDB复合式听写答案36. preserve 37. appreciate 38. households 39. chat40. convenient 41. rates 42. receive43. submit44.They are also sharing information about concerts and sports events, as well as jokes and their philosophies of life.45.

However, nowadays many students do not pay much attention to it. They have their own reasons for misspelling. First of all, they like an easy way of studying, which causes some omissions and changes in spelling. Second, the teachers might not be very strict in students spelling. In China, teachers seem to be more concerned with grammar and vocabulary but not spelling. To change this situation, in my opinion, the teachers and the students should work together. On one hand, the teachers should give more attention to students spelling, asking the students to be conscious of the importance of correct spelling from the very beginning of their English study. On the other hand, the students themselves are supposed to be aware that correct spelling is a must in English study. To sum up, correct spelling is so important that both students and the teachers should spare no efforts to achieve correct spelling.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1-7 ADCAC BB8. had an Internet addiction9. professional help10. online datingPart III Listening Comprehensionshort conversation11-18 CACAA DCDlong conversation19-25 BDDBA CBPassage 26-35 ADBBC DDBACCompound Dictation36. curious37. figuring38. independent39. unusual40. interacting41. formal42. abstract43. mystery44. he has found out how it works and learnt to use it appropriately45. by trying it out and seeing whether it works, by gradually changing it and refining it46. including many of the concepts that the schools think only they can teach himPart IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)Section A47-56 GKJLH DEOFISection BPassage 157-61 CACCAPassage 262-67 BABCBPart V Cloze67-76 CBBBB DAABD77-86 ADCDB DDACAPart VI Translation87.

We can see that papers, bottles and cans are thrown away after use; food is wasted just because of its poor taste; clothes are discarded simply owing to their old fashion. As a consequence, people in mounting numbers put great emphasis on creating a green campus.There are at least two criteria to distinguish what is green campus. On the one hand, natural resources must be conserved and made full use of, for example, we, as college students, should take the wise use of papers and second-hand textbooks into account. On the other hand, education to build up thrift habits must be promoted by relevant departments and professionals at various levels. Accordingly, it is necessary for us to take effective steps. For one thing, university authorities should respond with the demand for more rigid conservation of our natural resources, such as water, electricity, and so on. For another, we should enhance the awareness of college students that creating a green campus is of utmost significance to both our society and ourselves.

The hidden reason behind this is not hard to analyze as theres a growing awareness for the authorities regarding the urgency of popularization of culture, knowledge and history with every average person in our society. Only with free access to this live database, can most people fully enjoy what museums could offer to them.However, free admission to museums might lead to some social problems as well. The most obvious problem is that it might give museums a very heavy economic burden which directly impedes the sustainable development of these organizations. As a result, our government has to work out other ways to collect funds from different channels, which might be difficult to operate or control. On the other hand, free admission attracts too many visitors, some of which might not be well-purposed and do some conscious or unconscious damage to the valuable treasures which used to be well-preserved in the museums. As a university student, I am in favor of the free-admission conduct. Yet it is proposed that some measures should be taken to solve the potential problems caused by it. For example, museums can make some regulations to guide the behavior of visitors or set some closed days for museums for regular maintenance. Only in this way can free-admission to museums become a long-lasting phenomenon and have sustainable development.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1-7 ACBBD CA8.

However, the excessive use of disposable plastic bags has resulted in a great damage to our environment. The problems brought by disposable plastic bags are various, ranging from environment to peoples health. In the first place, it takes years for the plastic products to decompose and be absorbed by the soil. Secondly, the use of disposable plastic bags will indirectly do harm to peoples health. Sometimes people buy hot food packed into disposable plastic bags for saving time to wash their dining utensils. Yet they are not informed of the chemical material the bags release in high temperature. Therefore, they are also eating the poisonous stuff while enjoying the tasty food.Its enlightening and significant that our government has banned the use of disposable plastic bags officially, and people will be charged for the use of such bags. This action is reducing the consumption of bags to a great extent. It is a great measure for the sustainable development of our earth.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1-7 ADBAC BD8. challenged9. can be proud of10. stay silent Part III Listening Comprehension短对话11-18 DACCD BAB长对话19-25 ADDCB CA短文：26-35 ADBCB CDBCA复合式听写答案： 36 trend 37 phenomenon 38 scene 39 offenses 40 murder 41 particularly 42 explosion 43 associated44 changing national borders, greater economic growth, and the lack of accepted social ideas of right and wrong 45 are now facing the sort of cultural variety that has been common in America for most of its history46 failure to recognize and plan for such diversity can lead to serious crime problems Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)47-56 FKHGN IBAOM5766 CBADB BDBAC Part V Cloze67-76 ADABD CCABD2008年6月大学英语四级真题参考答案Part I WritingRecreational ActivitiesAbundant recreational activities are available for people to release their strain and stress, ranging from sports to online activities.
