often easily surpassed by the people around. The only way to avoid this is to learn to improve ourselves. As an illustration, I’d like to take myself as an example. After graduation from college, my life has been full of working pressure, which contributes to my decision of pursuing further education. That’s why I can make my own way in such a competitive society. ???????The effect of learning can be boiled down to two major ones.

People often focus on their speaking ability, believing that good speaking equals good communication. There is some truth in this statement, but people who hold this opinion ignore a more important fact. God gave people two ears and one mouth, so it requires us to keep the ratios of listening and speaking by two to one. The ability to speak well is a necessary component to successful communication. The capability of listening is as important as speaking in that listening is the best respect for people around us. Listen attentively when others are speaking. It is the best and the most effective compliment that you can give them. To conclude, Listening can prevent interruption or formulate a response even before other speakers have finished. Good listeners are often some of the best speakers who can improve the quality of the communication. So listeners should interact with speakers, and respond promptly. 写作第三版： For?this?part,?you?are?allowed?30?minutes?to?write?an?essay?commenting?on?the?saying?“Never?go?out?there?to?see?what?happens,?go?out?there?to?make?things?happen.”?You?can?cite?examples?to?illustrate?the?importance?of?being?participants?rather?than?mere?onlookers?in?life.?You?should?write?at?least?120?words?but?no?more?than?180?words. 破题思路: 第一段: 解释引言内容. 提出文章的主旨 : “实践重要性” 第二段: 分析原因 此处可以结合例子. 来源于网络

Part 2 长对话 Conversion 1 W: Hi Leo, why do you say English would become the world language? M: Well. For one thing, it’s so commonly used, the only language that is used by more people is Chinese. W: Why is English spoken by so many people? M: It’s spoken in many countries of the world because of the British empire. And now of course is the influence of America as well. W: Many students find English a difficult language to learn. M: Oh, all languages are difficult to learn. But English does have two greatest advantages. W: What are they? M: Well, first of all, it has a very international vocabulary. It has many German, Dutch, French, Spanish and Italian words in it. So speakers of those languages will find many familiar words in English. In fact, English has words for many other languages as well. 来源于网络
W: Why is that? M: Well, partly because English speakers have travelled a lot, they bring back words with them. So English really does have an international vocabulary.

For example, it doesn’t have dozens of different endings for its nouns, adjectives and verbs, not like Latin, Russian and German for example. W: Why is that?

W:Ok, now we also want some drawing pens, ink and rulers, and some drawing paper. M: Oh dear. The girl who takes all those supplies isn’t here this morning. So I can’t take those orders for you.

Part 3 短文 短文 1 No one knows for sure just how old kites are. In fact, they have been in use for centuries. 25 centuries ago, kites were well-known in China. These first kites were probably made of wood. They may even have been covered with silk, because silk were used a lot at that time. Early kites were built for certain uses. In ancient China, they will use to carry ropes to cross rivers. Once across, the ropes were tear down and wooden bridges would hang for them. Legend tells of one General who flew musical kites over the enemies’ camp. The enemy fled, believing the sounds to be the warming voices of angels. By the 15th century, many people flew kites in Europe. Marco Polo may have brought the kite back from his visit to China. The kite has been linked to great names and events. For instance, Benjamin Franklin used kite to prove the lightening electricity. He flew the kite in the storm. He did this in order to draw lightening from the clouds. He tied a metal key and a strip of silk to the kite line. The silk ribbon would stop the lightening from passing through his body. Benjamin’s idea was first laughed at. But later on, it enlightened the invention of the 来源于网络 lightening rod. With such grand history, kite flying is short remain an entertaining and popular sport.

Question 18: Why did BF flied a kite in the storm? 短文2 I have learnt many languages, but I’m not mastered them the way the professional interpreter or translator has. Still, they have open doors for me. They have allowed me the opportunity to seek jobs in international contexts and help me get those jobs. Like many people who have lived overseas for a while, I simply got crazy about it. I can’t image living my professional or social life without international interactions. Since 1977, I have spent much more time abroad than in the United States. I like going to new places, eating new foods and experiencing new cultures. If you can speak the language, it’s easier to get to know the country and its people. If I had the time and money. I would live for a year in as many countries as possible. Beyond my career, my facility with languages has given me a few rare opportunities. Once, just after I returned my year in Vienna. I was asked to translate for a German judge at Olympic level horse event and learned a lot about the sport. In Japan, once when I was in the studio audience of a TV cooking show, I was asked to go up on the stage and taste the beef dish that was being prepared and tell what I thought. 来源于网络
They asked” Was it as good as American beef?” It was very exciting for me to be on Japanese TV, speaking in Japanese about how delicious the beef was. Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you’ve just heard. Question 19 What does the speaker say about herself? Question 20 What does the speaker say about many people who have lived overseas for a while? Question 21 How did the speaker experience of living in Vienna benefit her? Question 22 What was the speaker asked to do in the Japanese studio? 短文3 Dr. Ben Carsen grew up in a poor single parent house-hold in Detroit.

until he finished his homework. And had to read two books a week, and write book reports about them. His mother’s strategy worked. “Of course, I didn’t know she couldn’t read. So there I was submitting these reports.” he said. She would put check marks on them like she had been reading them. As I began to read about scientists，economists and philosophers. I started imaging myself in their shoes. As he got into the hobbit of hard work, his grade began to soar. Ultimately he received a scholarship to attending Yale University, and later he was admitted to the University of Michigan Medical School. He is now a leading surgeon at Johns Hopkins Medical School and he is also the author of the three books. Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you’ve just heard. Q23 What do we learn about Ben Carsen ? Q24 What did Ben Caren’s classmates and teachers think of him whenhe was first at school? Q25 What did Ben Carsen’s mother tell him to do when he was a school boy? Part 4 听写题 When you look up at the night sky, what do you see? There are other heavenly bodies out there besides the moon and stars. One of the most fascinating of this is a comet. Comets were formed around the same the earth was formed. They are made up of ice and other frozen liquids and gasses. Now and then these dirty snow balls begin to orbit the sun just as the planets do. As a comet gets closer to the sun. Some gasses in it begin to unfreeze. 来源于网络 They combine with dust particles from the comet to form a huge cloud. As the comet gets even nearer to the sun and solar wind blows the cloud behind the comet thus forming its tail. The tail and generally fuzzy atmosphere around the comet are characteristics that can help identify this phenomenon in the night sky. In any given year, about dozen known comets come close to the sun in their orbits. The average person can’t see them all of course. Usually there is only one or two a year bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Comet Hale-Bopp discovered in 1995 was an unusually bright comet. Its orbit bought relatively to the earth within 122 million miles of it. But Hale-Bopp came a long way on its earthly visit. It won’t be back for another 4 thousand years or so. 阅读部分 2015年12月四级阅读全套答案更新中，请耐心关注。有道考神版本答案，转载请注明来源，答案仅供参考。 第一版 36. N) saw 37. F) decades 38. H) globally 39. D) chances 40. J) occurs 41.
