Directions:Forthispart,youareallowedthirtyminutestowriteacompositiononthetopic:

ALettertotheUniversityPresidentabouttheCanteenServiceonCampus.Youshouldwriteatleast100words,andbaseyourcompositionontheoutlinegiveninChinesebelow:假设你是李明，请你就本校食堂的状况给校长写一封信，内容应涉及食堂的饭菜质量、价格、环境、效劳等，可以是表扬，可以是批评建议，也可以兼而有之。January12th,2002DearMr.President,2002年1月12日四级考试解析PartIListeningcomprehension1.[D]计算机已坏，当然不能马上发邮件，所以答案为D。2.[A]既然去时图书馆已经闭馆，当然书也就没有借到，由itclosedbeforeIgotthere可以推论说话者没有借到书。3.[A]play键自然是放音的，由此可以判断女士是在playataperecorder。4.[A]从OK,wecandropitthistime可以判断A不对，从男的抱歉来看，是男的曾伤害女士，所以答案为D。5.[D]从男士许诺保持联系和要飞过去看女士来看，男的是在为女的送行，答案为D。6.[C]从fulltimestudent来看，说话者是要停止工作全身心地投入学习。7.[C]teachingassistant的工作自然是协助教授授课，即assiststheprofessorwithhisteaching。8.[A]认为票很早就买完了也就是认为没有票了。9.[B]当然男士说Howcouldyousleepthroughthat?显然是责备对方不应该睡觉，那就是应该更认真些，即B。10.[A]从financeandeconomics来看，说话者是想在银行工作。11.[D]此题为信息再现题，文章有明确的表达themandideverythinghecouldtoteachtheparrottosayKetennel,thenameofhisnativetown,buttheneversucceeded,..helosthistemper。12.[C]从文章最后Theparrotwasscreamingatthefourth,"SayKetunnel,orI'llkillyou,"来判断是鹦鹉杀死了三只鸡，即thepetbird。13.[A]鹦鹉恐吓鸡的语言与作者所用的语言一致，说明鹦鹉明白了作者的恐吓，答案为A。14.[D]此题为细节判断题，从about5percentofthepresentpopulationarewomen可以判断妇女在英国囚犯中占的比例很小。15.[A]此题为细节判断题。文章最后一句someareallowedoutofthegroundtostudyortodocommunitywork说明允许囚犯到外面学习或工作，即A。16.[B]此题为细节判断题，文章在介绍封闭性监狱时提到Mostofthemarepaidforwhattheydo.由此可以判断答案为B。17.[B]此题为信息再现题，可遵循听到的是解的原那么，根据thereasonsLondontaxidriversaresoefficientisthattheyallhavegonethroughaverytoughtrainingperiod可以判断答案B。18.[D]此题为信息再现题。whichcantaketwotofouryears说明答案为D。19.[A]从主考官的表现可以看处，主考官很严厉，不管你做得多么好，都不会有什么笑脸，不会有什么称赞，所以答案为A。20.[C]文章learnerdriversarenotallowedtoworkandearnmoneyasdrivers.Therefore,manyofthemkeeptheirpreviousjobs说明答案为C，即在学习驾驶时他们没有薪水，所以必须keeppreviousjobs。PartII.Readingcomprehension

21.[C]从此题的题干来看，未来汽车比拟显著的一种变化应该是不同一般的，也应该是文章所着重要介绍的。文章大局部篇幅所介绍的是未来监控系统，所以此题答案应该是C。22.[C]从文章第三段theautointhefuturewillstillbethemainprobleminurbantrafficcongestion来看，作者主要关心的还是如何解决交通堵塞的问题，即C。23．[A]根据常识来判断，"可伸缩得手臂"只是用来连接汽车与铁轨的工具，是能源的传导器，也就是说，提供能源的不是"可伸缩的手臂"，而"铁轨"，所以答案为A。24．[D]文章的最后一段thedriverwilluseatelephonetodialinstructionsabouthisdestinationintothesystem说明此题的答案为D，即在计算机监控系统下，司机所做的不过是通过告诉系统自己的目的地而已。25．[C]从作者对计算机监控系统的使用来看，作者对自行车的前景是抱乐观态度的，所以答案为C。26．[A]从短文第三段Peoplewhotakepartinhuntingthinkofitasasport可以判断，英国人猎狐是作为一种娱乐和消遣，所以答案为A。27．[C]从文章第三段andfollowstrictcodesofbehavior来看，英国人猎狐是又严格规定的，从而说明答案为C。文章第一段虽然提到orpoisoningthem但下毒却不属于猎狐的范畴，所以A不对。28．[B]此题为细节判断题，文章第四段interferewiththehuntbymisleadingridersanddisturbingthetrailofthefox'ssmell说明答案为B。29．[B]此题也是细节理解题，文章最后提到anewlawwhichwillmakehuntingofwildanimalswithdogsillegal说明法律禁止带狗狩猎。30．[C]文章倒数第二段表达了带狗狩猎被禁止的原因，becausetheythinkitisbrutal可以判断，带着狗狩猎被认为是一种很残酷的行为。31．[B]此题的理解要结合上下文，从全文来看，本篇文章所介绍的是老年学的问题，所以Oldissuddenlyin指的是老年学突然流行起来。32．[A]文章的细节都应该与文章的主题有关，从Lawyerscanspecializein"elderlaw"来看，此题答案为A，即律师可以从老年法律中获益。33．[A]文章第二段中arelikelytobethewealthiestgroupofretireesinhumanhistory说明了商人之所以能从老年市场获益的原因，是因为这局部退休的老年都十分富有，并且肯为下一代花钱。34．[D]文章提到anystudentwhocombinesanexpertknowledgeingerontologywith,say,andMBAorlawdegreewillhavealicensetoprintmoney，但是C只说是拥有MBA或法律学位证书的毕业生，而文章说这些资格应该与老年学专业知识结合，D符合这一点，professionals可以指在在MBA或律师专业比拟优秀的人士，所以答案为D。35．[A]从文章第一段italsocreatescareeropportunitiesinmedicineandhealthprofessionals,andinlawandbusinessaswell说明美国老龄人口的增加会在很过领域提供就业时机。选项D是事实，不属于推理的结论，不符合题意。36．[D]问题为细节理解题，文章第一段thedeclineinmoralstandardshasatlastcapturedtheattentionofaverageAmericans说明Elshtain教授看到美国人开始意识到道德标准的下降而感到快乐。37．[B]文章第三段Withtoday'sgreatermobilityandwithsomanycouplesworking,thosebondshavebeenweakened,replacedbyagreateremphasisonself说明美国社会道德下降的原因是因为人们太以自我为中心了，即选项B。38．[B]此题为细节判断题。文章第四段thedisintergrationoftraditionalcommunities,inwhichneighborslookedoutforoneanother，非限制性定语从句解释了传统社区的特点，即邻里之间能相互照顾。39．[A]此题为细节识别题。文章倒数第三段unheardofinthe1950s,suchasclassroomviolence说明在20世纪
