British Cuisine: the Best of Old and New
British cuisine (烹飪) has come of age in recent years as chefs (廚師) combine the best of old and new.
Why does British food have a reputation for being so bad? Because it is bad! Those are not the most encouraging words to hear just before eating lunch at one of Hong Kong's smartest British restaurants, Alfie's by KEE, but head chef Neil Tomes has more to say.
"The past 15 years or so have been a noticeable period of improvement for food in England," the English chef says, citing the trend in British cuisine for better ingredients, preparation and cooking methods, and more appealing presentation. Chefs such as Delia Smith, Nigel Slater, Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay made the public realise that cooking - and eating - didn't have to be a boring thing. And now, most of the British public is familiar even with the extremes of Heston BlumenthaPs molecular gastronomy, a form of cooking that employs scientific methods to create the perfect dish.
"It's no longer the case that the common man in England is embarrassed to show he knows about food," Tomes says.
There was plenty of room for improvement. The problems with the nation's cuisine can be traced back to the Second World War. Before the War, much of Britain's food was imported and when German U-boats began attacking ships bringing food to the country, Britain went on rations (配給).
"As rationing came to an end in the 1950s, technology picked up and was used to mass-produce food," Tomes says. "And by then people were just happy to have a decent quantity of food in their kitchens."
They weren't looking for cured meats, organic produce or beautiful presentation; they were looking for whatever they could get their hands on, and this prioritisation of quantity over quality prevailed for decades, meaning a generation was brought up with food that couldn't compete with neighbouring France, Italy, Belgium or Spain.
Before star chefs such as Oliver began making cooking fashionable, it was hard to find a restaurant in London that was open after 9pm. But in recent years the capital's culinary (烹飪的) scene has developed to the point that it is now confident of its ability to please the tastes of any international visitor.
With the opening of Alfie's in April, and others such as The Pawn, two years ago, modern British food has made its way to Hong Kong. "With British food, I think that Hong Kong restaurants are keeping up," says David Tamlyn, the Welsh executive chef at The Pawn in Wan Chai. "Hong Kong diners are extremely responsive to new ideas or presentations, which is good news for new dishes."
Chefs agree that diners in Hong Kong are embracing the modern British trend. Some restau?rants are modifying the recipes (菜譜) of British dishes to breathe new life into the classics, while others are using better quality ingredients but remaining true to British traditions and tastes.
Tamlyn is in the second camp. "We select our food very particularly. We use US beef, New Zealand lamb and for our custards (牛奶蛋糊) we use Bird's Custard Powder," Tamlyn says. "Some restaurants go for custard made fresh with eggs, sugar and cream, but British custard is different, and we stay true to that."
Matthew Hill, senior manager at the two-year-old SoHo restaurant Yorkshire Pudding, also uses better ingredients as a means of improving dishes. "There are a lot of existing perceptions about British food and so we can't alter these too much. We're a traditional British restaurant so there are some staples (主菜) that will remain essentially unchanged."
These traditional dishes include fish and chips, steak and kidney pie and large pieces of roasted meats. At Alfie's, the newest of the British restaurants in town and perhaps the most gentlemen's club-like in design, Neil Tomes explains his passion for provenance (原產地). "Britain has started to become really proud of the food it's producing. It has excellent organic farms, beautifully crafted cheeses, high-quality meats."
However, the British don't have a history of exporting their foodstuffs, which makes it difficult for restaurants in Hong Kong to source authentic ingredients.
"We can get a lot of our ingredients once a week from the UK," Tamlyn explains. "But there is also pressure to buy local and save on food miles, which means we take our vegetables from the local markets, and there are a lot that work well with British staples."
The Phoenix, in Mid-Levels, offers the widest interpretation of "British cuisine", while still trying to maintain its soul. The gastro-pub has existed in various locations in Hong Kong since 2002. Singaporean head chef Tommy Teh Kum Chai offers daily specials on a blackboard, rather than sticking to a menu. This enables him to reinterpret British cuisine depending on what is avail?able in the local markets.
"We use a lot of ingredients that people wouldn't perhaps associate as British, but are pre?sented in a British way. Bell peppers stuffed with couscous, alongside ratatouille, is a very popular dish."
Although the ingredients may not strike diners as being traditional, they can be found in dishes across Britain.
Even the traditional chefs are aware of the need to adapt to local tastes and customs, while maintaining the Britishness of their cuisine.
At Yorkshire Pudding, Hill says that his staff asks diners whether they would like to share their meals. Small dishes, shared meals and "mixing it up" is not something commonly done in Britain, but Yorkshire Pudding will bring full dishes to the table and offer individual plates for each diner. "That way, people still get the presentation of the dishes as they were designed, but can carve them up however they like," Hill says.
This practice is also popular at The Pawn, although largely for rotisseries (烤肉館), Tamlyn says. "Some tables will arrive on a Sunday, order a whole chicken and a shoulder of lamb or a baby pig, and just stay for hours enjoying everything we bring out for them."
Some British traditions are too sacred (神聖的) to mess with, however, Tomes says. "I'd never change a full English breakfast."

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
Several recent studies have found that being randomly (隨機地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性) of conflict.
Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and compel students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.
An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.
In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."
Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.
According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.
An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.
Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.
At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing.
"One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration."
"I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring cultural confrontations."
The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.
Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.

Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.
The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster, population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (營養不良) and heat-related health problems.
But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.
Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.
Roger Pielke Jr., a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum's report was "a methodological embarrassment" because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受傷害的) regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention.” But the report, he said, "will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的)."
However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.
In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards while still curbing the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries, according to the report.
62. What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?
A) Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.
B) Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.
C) Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.
D) Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.
63. What do we learn about the Forum's report from the passage?
A) It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.
B) It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.
C) It was warmly received by environmentalists.
D) It caused a big stir in developing countries.
64. What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum's report?
A) Its statistics look embarrassing. C) It deserves our closest attention.
B) It is invalid in terms of methodology. D) Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.
65. What is Soren Andreasen's view of the report?
A) Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.
B) It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.
C) It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.
D) Its rough estimates are meant to draw the attention of world leaders.
66. What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?
A) How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming.
B) How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.
C) How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.
D) How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.

6. D. maintain British traditional tastes
解析：一些飯店修改菜譜，採用新樣式，而另外一些則保留英式口味，再根據Tamlyn is in the second camp，可知Tamlyn屬於后者，即保留原汁原味。故答案選D。
7. B. They are produced on excellent organic farms
解析：由Neil Tomes定位到原文第12段，根據最后兩句話…It has excellent organic farms, beautifully crafted cheeses, high-quality meats可選出答案B，Neil Tomes喜歡英國原料的原因就在於原料產於優秀的有機農場。
8. the local markets
解析：根據原文，… which means we take our vegetables from the local markets, …即除了從英國直接進口，還有部分蔬菜從本地市場購買的。
9. in a British way
解析：先定位到The Phoenix那一段，再找到下一段，We use a lot of ingredients that people wouldn't perhaps associate as British, but are presented in a British way.
10. share their meals
解析：At Yorkshire Pudding, Hill says that his staff asks diners whether they would like to share their meals.餐廳之所以在上菜之后再供應碟子，原因就在於可能會有人願意和別人分享食物。
Part III Listening Comprehension
11.
M: Shawn's been trying for months to find a job. But I wonder how he could get a job when he looks like that.
W: Oh, that poor guy! He really should shave himself every other day at least and put on something clean.
Q: What do we learn about Shawn?
答案：A. He is careless about his appearance.
解析：男生首先對肖恩能否找到工作表示懷疑，因為他邋遢。女生接著提到肖恩不修邊幅，又說他應該每隔一天刮一次胡子，把自己弄得整潔干淨一點。由此可知，肖恩是一個對儀容儀表不太注重，比較粗線條的人shave，刮胡子﹔be careless about不在乎，不介意﹔
12.
W: I wish Jane would call when she know she'll be late. This is not the first time we've had to wait for her.
M: I agree. But she does have to drive through very heavy traffic to get here.
Q: What does the man imply?
答案：A. Jane maybe caught in a traffic jam.
解析：本題是推理題，在做題時要注意仔細推敲。女生說：“Jane已經不是第一次遲到讓我們等了，我希望她能事先打電話告訴我們一下”，可見女生對Jane遲到的作法是不滿的。
男生又說：“I agree. But she does have to drive through very heavy traffic to get here.”（我同意。但是她到這裡的確要遭受很擁堵的交通。）由此得出，男生對此事的態度是理解或寬容的。Jane可能被堵在半路了。
13.
M: Congratulations! I heard your baseball team is going to the Middle Atlantic Championship.
W: Yeah, we're all working real hard right now!
Q: What is the woman's team doing?
答案：A. Training for the Mid-Atlantic Championship.
解析：對話開頭男生提到女生所在的棒球隊要參加Mid-Atlantic Championship.女生說：“we're all working real hard right now!”（我們現在正緊鑼密鼓地練習呢！）由此可知，女生所在的棒球隊正在進行賽前訓練。
此題還有一個迷惑選項B, Making preparations for a trans-Atlantic trip,必須注意的是：這裡並不是准備旅行，而是准備參賽。
14.
W: John's been looking after his mother in the hospital. She was injured in a car accident two weeks ago and still in critical condition.
M: Oh, that's terrible. And you know his father passed away last year.
Q: What do we learn about John?
答案：D. He has been having a hard time.
解析：根據聽力原文可知，“John's mother is in the hospital and his father died last year.”（約翰的母親出車禍住院了，父親兩年前也過世了）由此可見，John的近況還是蠻悲慘的﹔答案也就顯而易見了。
15.
M: What a boring speaker! I can hardly stay awake.
W: Well, I don't know. In fact, I think it's been a long time since I've heard anyone is good.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
答案：D The woman thinks highly of the speaker
解析：根據聽力原文可知，男生覺得演講無趣，女生卻很淡定地說：“其實我已經很久沒有聽到那麼好的發言了”。由此可見，女生對發言還是很肯定的。選項D中“thinks highly of”即“對…評價高”，故D是正確答案。
16.
W: I'm having a lot of trouble with logic and it seems my professor can't explain it in a way that makes sense to me.
M: You know, there is a tutoring service on campus. I was about to drop statistics before they helped me out.
Q: What does the man mean?
答案：C. The woman should seek help from tutoring services.
解析：首先女生說她邏輯學得很辛苦，接受不了老師的講課方式也理解不了課程內容。
而后男生說學校有輔導班，他在參加之前幾乎要挂科了，輔導班幫了他大忙。言下之意是推薦女生也去上輔導班。
17.
M: This is a stylish overcoat. I saw you wearing it last week, did't I?
W: Oh, that wasn't me. That was my sister Jill. She's in your class.
Q: What does the woman mean?
答案：C. Jill wore the overcoat last week.
解析：首先男生問女生上周是否穿過拉風外套，然后女生說：“ That was my sister Jill. She's in your class.”（那是我姐姐Jill，她和你同班）也就是說男生很有可能看到的那個穿著拉風外套的人是女生的姐姐Jill。
18.
M: Jane, suppose you lost all your money while taking a vacation overseas, what would you do?
W: Well, I guess I'd sell my watch or computer or do some odd jobs till I could afford a return plane ticket.
Q: What are the speakers talking about?
答案：B. An imaginary situation.
解析：根據原文錄音可知，對話開頭男生講到：“Jane, suppose you lost all your money while taking a vacation overseas, what would you do? ”這裡的"suppose"表明“假定、料想”由此可見，兩人談論的是一個虛擬場景。
Conversation One
聽力原文
M: Hello, professor Johnson.
W: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today?
M: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn't coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what particular sport means to me when I participate in,
W: What sport did you choose?
M: I decided to write about cross-country skiing.
W: What are you going to say about skiing?
M: That's the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country.
W: So why is that a problem?
M: As I start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods. I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross-country skiing isn't as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy, but that's not part of my paper. So I guess I should leave it out. But now I don't know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It's not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That's different.
W: Then you'll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out? Part of your point you knew before hand but part you discovered as you wrote. That's common, right?
M: Yeah, I guess so.
Q19: What is the topic of the man's writing assignment?
C) Pain and pleasure in sports
Q20: What problem does the man have while working on his paper?
D) He can't decide whether to include the effort part of skiing.
Q21: What does the woman say is common in writing papers?
A) New ideas come up as you write.
19. D) A sport he participates in
解析：題目問的是，男生論文的主題是什麼，從talk about what particular sport means to me when I participate in一句中，可得對應選項D。C選項是一個干擾項，pain and pleasure in sports, 意為運動中的痛苦與快樂，其中sports一詞范圍太大，對話中隻談到了cross-country skiing, 因此，C選項錯。
20. D) He can't decide whether to include the effort part of skiing.
解析：當男生打算將越野滑雪的艱辛剔除出論文時，教授說了一句“Then you'll have to include that in your point.”對應選項D
21. A) New ideas come up as you write.
解析：在對話的最后，教授提到“Part of your point you knew before hand but part you discovered as you wrote. That's common, right?”這句話意思是說，在寫論文之前，論點的一部分我們已經有了，但另一部分在寫的過程中才會發現，因此，對應選項A。A選項與D選項較易混淆，但從教授的話中，我們可以看出，不是論點發生變化，而是在寫作過程中，會有新的想法產生。
這篇長對話因為是圍繞論文寫作展開，而且涉及了一項我們中國人並不熟悉的運動，越野滑雪，因此，乍聽之下，有些小抽象，小陌生。但細聽之后，我們會發現，文中有一大段都提到了男生在寫作中遇到的糾結處，那就是越野滑雪的暢快和由此所付出的艱辛，文章的主旨自然呼之欲出了。
這篇對話主要考察對文章大意的理解，而不是糾結於一詞一句的得失，因此，大家在做題時，也要注意把握主干，不要因為聽到了一個自己不太熟悉的運動就舍本逐末。
Conversation Two
W: Good evening and welcome to this week's Business World.
It program for and about business people. Tonight we have Mr. Angeleno who came to the US six years ago, and is now an established businessman with three restaurants in town.Tell us Mr. Angeleno, how did you get started?
M: Well I started off with a small diner. I did all the cooking myself and my wife waited on tables. It was really too much work for two people. My cooking is great. And word got around town about the food. Within a year, I had to hire another cook and four waitresses. When that restaurant became very busy, I decided to expand my business. Now with three places my main concern is keeping the business successful and running smoothly.
W: Do you advertise?
M: Oh yes. I don't have any TV commercials, because they are too expensive. But I advertise a lot on radio and in local newspapers. My children used to distribute ads. in nearby shopping centres, but we don't need to do that anymore.
W: Why do you believe you've been so successful?
M: Em, I always serve the freshest possible food and I make the atmosphere as comfortable and as pleasant as I can, so that my customers will want to come back.
W: So you always aim to please the customers?
M: Absolutely!Without them I would have no business at all.
W: Thank you Mr.Angeleno.I think your advice will be helpfull to those just staring out in business.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22 What is the woman's occupation
D) Hostess of the weekly “Business World”
23 what do we learn about Mr.Angeleno's business at its beginning
B) He and his wife did everything by themselves.
24 what does Mr. Angeleno say about advertising his business.
B) He advertises a lot on radio and in newspapers.
25 What does the man say contribute to his success?
B) The restaurant atmosphere
22. D) Hostess of the weekly “Business World”
解析：從對話中可以聽出，這是一個訪談節目，因此這個女性是節目主持人。
23. B) He and his wife did everything by themselves.
解析：題目問的是，剛開始的時候，Angeleno的生意怎麼樣？對話中提到，I did all the cooking myself and my wife waited on tables. Angeleno負責做菜，他妻子負責接待，對應選項B。
24. B) He advertises a lot on radio and in newspapers.
解析：從But I advertise a lot on radio and in local newspapers. 一句中，可以得到對應選項。
25. B) The restaurant atomsphere
解析：題目問的是，什麼有助於餐廳的成功？對話中提到，I always serve the freshest possible food and I make the atmosphere as comfortable and as pleasant as I can, so that my customers will want to come back. 可見，Angeleno會提供盡可能新鮮的食物和舒適的用餐環境以吸引顧客，因此，對應選項B，也許，有童鞋會問，為什麼不選C？注意，C選項是指各種各樣的食物，與文意中“新鮮的食物”不符，是錯誤選項。
這篇對話是一篇較為簡單的訪談節目，主要涉及一些細節問題，其中，關鍵細節包括餐館經營情況，廣告宣傳情況等，也是考點所在。童鞋們在聽時，可以相應地做些簡單的筆記，從而准確地選出選項。
Section B
Passage One
There are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have glasses inappropriate for their eyes.
We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. However, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight.
Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another. There are close to one million nerve fibres that connect the eyeball to the brain, as of yet it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some day a full transplant may be possible.
篇章類型及提要：論証文
聽力點睛：
本文主要介紹關於糾正一些對眼鏡及視力的常識的錯誤認識。注意文章首句"There are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts." 通常這種文章首句就是主旨句。這是做聽力短文題必須要高度關注的。接下去可以推測下面內容必然圍繞主題句展開，通過舉例等來論証作者要表明的觀點。所以聽的時候也要高度專注那些關鍵詞句，如for instance, however, but, evidence, although, Studies show that...這些關鍵詞句后面的內容是聽力常考的地方。最后文章給出一個總結句呼吁人們破除固有的一些認識，去更多了解我們的眼睛，頭尾呼應。
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What does the speaker want to tell us about eyesight?
答案：C）There are many false notions about it.
解析：從"eyesight" 可以把答案定位於第一段，關鍵詞有"weakens the eyes" "loss of vision". 注意題目中是問speaker要告訴我們的，所以不要被some people believe...誤導，看清題目要問什麼很重要。容易混淆的是A選項，文中提到如果孩子戴不合適的眼鏡會使孩子的視力減弱，但並沒有提到孩子經常忽視保護視力。B、D選項文中沒有提及，可以排除。
27. What do studies about wearing the wrong glasses show?
答案：C）It can lead to the loss of vision in children.
解析：本題關鍵詞是"studies" "wearing the wrong glasses". 文章中作者很明顯地給出了"Studies show that for adults..." 因此了解這個后面的內容，做出本題難度不大。文中說到 "for adults there is no danger" ，因此排除B選項。"there is no evidence... the structure of eyes is changed" "it does not permanently damage eyesight"可以排除D選項，注意如果漏聽了no，很可能就會選錯。A選項前文沒有提及，可以排除。
28.What do we learn about eye transplanting from the talk?
答案：D）It can only be partly accomplished now.
解析：本題關鍵詞"eye transplanting"，迅速定位於聽力后面部分。A、B、C選項文中沒有提及，排除。文章最后部分"Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced" "Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced"可以推斷出答案是D選項。
Passage Two
When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services such as adult daycare centers. If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and cooperative. However, even when caregiving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and experts on aging offer caregivers and potential caregivers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home and can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to state their needs and opinions clearly and ask for help from others especially brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not know what to do
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. Why are adult children more likely to use community services to help care for elderly parents?
答案：D）They have jobs and other commitments.
解析：細節題。本題詢問原因，文章開頭很快就給出了本題答案"because they often have jobs and other responsibilities." 注意D選項中的commitments的意思是 “承諾，保証﹔承擔義務”和responsibilities意思相近。這也是四級考試中常見的選項設置，用同義詞或近義詞替換掉文中的詞匯。這要求考試在備考時，重點詞匯及其同義詞反義詞都要有所了解。其他選項文中沒有提及，可排除。
30. Why are most wives unwilling to put their dependent husbands into nursing homes?
答案：A) They don't want to use up all their life savings.
解析：細節題。關鍵詞"wives"" husbands"。本題不難，文章中已經直接給出答案" in order not to use up their life savings"。
31. According to the passage, what must caregivers learn to do?
31. According to the passage, what must caregivers learn to do?
答案：C）Be frank and seek help from others.
解析：關鍵詞"caregivers""learn to do"，問看護人應該要學會做的事情，然后迅速定位於最后部分，"One consideration is to ask..."，"Caregivers must also learn to state..." 主要有兩件事情，C選項是其中一個，另外一個選項中沒有，排除A、B和D選項。
Passage Three
Since a union representative visited our company to inform us about our rights and protections. My coworkers have been worrying about health conditions and complaining about safety hazards in the workplace. Several of the employees in the computer department, for example, claim to be developing vision problems from having to stare at a video display terminal for about 7 hours a day. The supervisor of the laboratory is beginning to get headaches and dizzy spells because she says it's dangerous to breathe some of the chemical smoke there. An X-rays technician is refusing to do her job until the firm agrees to replace its out-dated equipment. She insists that it's exposing workers to unnecessarily high doses of radiation. She thinks that she may have to contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and asked that government agency to inspect the department. I've heard that at a factory in the area two pregnant women who were working with paint requested a transfer to a safer department, because they wanted to prevent damage to their unborn babies. The supervisor of personnel refused the request. In another firm the workers were constantly complaining about the malfunctioning heating system, but the owners was too busy or too mean to do anything about it. Finally, they all met an agree to wear ski-clothing to work the next day. The owner was too embarrassed to talk to his employees. But he had the heating system replaced right away.
Questions 32- 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32 What does the talk focus on?
A) Health and safety conditions in workplace.
解析：主旨題。本題簡單，了解了文章主要內容后，就可以直接選出答案。注意不要被文章中員工們得對工作環境的complaints影響而混淆了。
33 What did the X-ray technician ask her company to do?
Replace its out-dated equipments.
答案：A）Replace its out-dated equipments.
解析：細節題。作者有直接讀出答案，比較簡單。
34 What does the speaker say about the two pregnant women working with paint?
A) They requested to transfer to a safer department.
答案：A) They requested to transfer to a safer department.
解析：細節題。作者有直接讀出答案，比較簡單。注意選B選項的同學可能犯了想當然的錯誤。做題還是要按照文章的事實根據來。
35 Why did the workers in the firm wear ski-clothing to work?
C) To protest against the poor working conditions.
答案：C）To protest against the poor working conditions.
解析：推理題。本題容易誤選D選項。因為是heating system出了故障。但通過下文"too embarrassed""had the heating system replaced right away" 從老板的反應及採取的措施可以推斷出，員工們穿滑雪服地原因其實為對差的工作環境向老板提出抗議。
Section C Compound Dictation
Contrary to the old warning that time waits for no one, time slows down when you are on the move. It also slows down more as you move faster, which means astronauts（宇航員） some day may survive so long in space that they would return to an earth of the distant future. If you could move at the speed of light, your time would stand still, if you could move faster than light, your time would move backward.
Although no form of matter yet discovered, moves as fast as or faster than light, scientific experiments has already confirmed that accelerated motion causes a traveler's time to be stretched. Albert Einstein predicted this in 1905, when he introduced the concept of relative time as part of his special theory of relativity. A search is now under way to confirm the suspected existence of particles of matter that move at a speed greater than light, and therefore, might serve as our passports to the past. An obsession with time - saving, gaining, wasting, losing and mastering it - seems to have been a part of humanity for as long as human have existed. Humanity also has been obsessed with trying to capture the meaning of time. Einstein used a definition of time for experimental purposes, as that which is measured by a clock. Thus time and time's relativity are measurable by any hour glass, alarm clock, or atomic clock that can measure a billionth of a second.
本文提要：
本篇屬於科技類文章，主要圍繞時間和運動的關系展開﹔用諺語開篇引出全文，很有吸引力。中間引用愛因斯坦的相對論相關概念，具體闡述主題。
答案：
36. survive
解析：文章描述：運動越快，時間變慢得也更快，這也就意味著宇航員有朝一日可以在太空中生存（survive）很久，如此一來他們就可以在遙遠（distant）的未來重返地球。
37. distant
解析：這個空在future 前面，所以預判該填形容詞常用搭配無非near，close， distant等 ，根據聽力原文，如上所述，確定是遙遠的未來﹔填distant。
38. backward
解析：速度達到光速，時間靜止﹔根據常識推斷，若速度快於光速，那麼時間將后退，即move backward，根據聽力原文可確定這一推斷。
39. discovered
解析：空缺部分作后置定語，從音頻可知是發現(discovered)，用其過去完成時態。
40. scientific
解析：該空后接名詞，應為形容詞，scientific。
41. motion
解析：
原文描述，實驗已証明運動加快會使宇航員的時間延長。這裡的運動為motion。
42. predicted
解析：愛因斯坦在1905年時作出預測，用過去時predicted。
43. introduced
解析：這是愛因斯坦提出的一個相對時間的概念，用過去時introduced。
44. that move at a speed greater than light, and therefore, might serve as our passports to the past.
解析：當下進行的研究旨在証實，是否有這樣的物質，即能以超光速運行，並可以作為我們回歸過去的“通行証”。填句隻需意思相近就可以，關鍵抓住核心：超光速運行，可幫助人類回到過去。
45. seems to have been a part of humanity for as long as human have existed.
解析：人類對時間的節約，獲取，浪費以及流失等的著迷，自人類誕生以來就一直是其生活的一部分。核心：人類誕生以來就一直存在的，如影隨形的。
46. used a definition of time for experimental purposes, as that which is measured by a clock.
解析：人類也對時間的含義非常著迷，愛因斯坦就曾提出一個試驗性的定義，這個定義下的時間可以用鐘表來測量。核心意思：試驗性的定義，可以用鐘表來測量。
解題密鑰：
聽類似文章時首先要注意把握邏輯結構，也即聽第一遍聽時把握大意，先不要急於填寫所有空缺，重點是要縷清思路，聽懂文章在說什麼，記錄關鍵信息詞﹔有了對文章整體的把握后，第二遍聽時就容易許多，這時就可以把空缺進量補齊，注意填句部分不一定非得按原文填寫，隻要意思相近就行﹔第三遍是最后一遍，此時要邊聽邊檢查已填寫空缺，另外也可補填遺漏。
聽力音頻結束后，可對所填詞匯進行檢查，此時主要根據語法知識保証詞形，詞性准確無誤﹔另外也可重新組織語句，完善填句部分
Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in depth)
Section A
文章大意：
47 N tend
48 L negative
49 H efficiently
50 B associated
51 A alert
52 J function/
53 F definitely
54 O younger
55 E continuing
56 G different
文章大意：本文主要講述的是關於老年人睡眠的問題：是否老年人與年輕人相比隻需要較少的睡眠時間？
47. tend to 固定搭配﹔表示“傾向於﹔”符合句意﹔
48. 空格后是effect， 前面是a(n)， 由此可見，該處需要填入一個形容詞﹔題目給出的形容詞有negative, sufficient, younger﹔根據前后語意，填入negative最為恰當，表示“少的睡眠時間對大腦的活動有負面的影響。”
49. 根據推測，該處應該填入一個副詞，題目給出的副詞有efficiently, definitely, formally﹔前面提到，老年人在睡覺的時候更容易被打斷，而后面用while提出一個對比的概念，年輕人相比起來能獲得更_______ 的睡眠﹔綜合起來，選用efficiently（最有效率的）最為准確。
50. be associated with 固定搭配﹔表示“與…聯系在一起”﹔本句話表示“更多的睡眠通常都與健康度聯系在一起”﹔
51. 先看整句話的含義，“如果他們能睡更長的時間，他們的感覺應該會更好以及…”那麼，該處應該填入一個褒義詞，選擇alert比較恰當，表示“更加警覺，機靈”﹔
52. 根據判斷，此處應該填入一個動詞，剩下的動詞有cling, function﹔整句話的意思是“當我們上了年紀的時候，我們一覺睡到天亮的能力下降了，但是，我們需要…的睡眠量並沒有改變﹔”空格后的單詞是well， cling 在這裡並不合適，一般與to連用﹔選用function 最為適合﹔
53. 作者在首段已經提出這個觀點是一個myth，那麼顯而易見最后一段中出現的myth是作為一種強調手段，應填入definitely﹔
54. 空格的前面是 when they were…， “當他們年輕的時候”﹔應填入younger﹔
55. 本句的意思是“我們的數據顯示老年人將從…獲益﹔”空格的后面是“得到和他們在三十多歲的時候能得到的睡眠一樣多”﹔根據上下文意思，該處應填入“continuing”﹔
56. different from 固定搭配﹔表示“和…不同”﹔
總的說來，建議大家在做題之前對所給的所有詞匯進行一下簡單的詞性分類，這樣，更有助於考生快速有效地從最小的范圍內選出答案。
Passage One
57. What can we learn from some recent studies?
答案：D. Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.
關鍵詞：recent studies, but also
定位：題干中some recent studies提示答案定位在第一段第一句話。
解析：問題提問從最近的研究中我們可以了解到什麼？第一段第一句中Several recent studies found that…與題干對應，由此可知that后的就是recent studies的內容，即being randomly assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood of conflict。其中“being randomly assigned to a roommate of another race”對應了選項D中的“interracial lodging”，“can… but also…”說明了interracial lodging是有利有弊的。因此D選項符合文意。而C選項“弊大於利”不符合文意, A“不同種族學生之間的爭執是不可避免的”選項與B“不同種族的學生相互存在偏見”原文中沒有明確提及
58. What does Sam Boakye's remark mean?
答案：D. Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.
關鍵詞：surrounded, something to prove
定位：題干中出現的人名Sam Boakye提示答案定位在第四段第一句話。
解析：問題提問Sam Boakye的話是什麼意思？通過定位可以找到Sam Boakye的那段話，即if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove. 這句話前面的插入語-the only black student on his freshman year floor- 介紹了Sam Boakye作為黑人學生的背景，幫助我們理解之前那句話：如果你的周圍都是白人，那麼一定會去証明些什麼，言下之意就是選項D“白人同伴的存在會激勵黑人學生更加努力地去取得成功”。而選項A, B, C在文中沒有明確提及。本題選項C有個干擾信息“the freshman year”，在原文中出現。某些考生看到這個詞，不假思索就選擇了這個選項，但沒有搞懂原文的意思，導致錯誤選擇。請考生留意。
59. What does the Indian University study show?
答案：A. Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.
關鍵詞：Indian University, more likely,
定位：題干中出現的機構名稱Indian University提示答案定位在第七段第一句話。
解析：問題提問Indian University的研究顯示了什麼？通過定位可以發現研究結果顯示Interracial roommate were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together，與選項A中的more likely to fall out 對應，因此選擇D。此處，fall out 應該理解為“散伙，分開”有些考生可能因為不理解意思而產生歧義，請考生留意。
60. What does Alec Webley consider to be the “definition of integration”?
答案：D. The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.
關鍵詞：Alec Webley, definition of integration
定位：題干出現的人名Alec Webley提示答案定位在第十段第一句。
解析：通過定位找到人名，人名后出現“This is the definition of integration”，由“this”可知人名前就是我們要找的答案，即the process throws you together randomly，“throw you together randomly”與“randomly assign”對應。意思與選項D符合。因此，此處選擇D。
61. What does Grace Kao say about interracial lodging?
答案：A. It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.
關鍵詞：Grace Kao, generalizations
定位：題干中出現的人名Grace Kao以及generalizations提示答案定位在文章最后一段。根據最后一段意思：要得出Interracial lodging的一般規律，需要對學生的背景特征有更多的研究，與選項D的意思相同。而選項ABC在文中沒有明確提及。
Passage Two
本篇文章主要是圍繞一份來自Global Humanitarian Forum的報告展開的，在解題之前，通過對5個題干的瀏覽，以及在原文中的定位，可以發現，這篇文章是嚴格按照順序原則來出題的。每一個題干中都有大寫的字母，這些首字母大寫的單詞既是關鍵詞，也是定位詞，可以有效地幫助我們到原文中准確定位，節省答題時間。
62. What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?
答案：B. Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.
關鍵詞：Global Humanitarian Forum
定位：第一段、第二段
解析：一般而言，四級的閱讀題目大致遵循順序原則，此篇文章正好是遵循此規律的。在文章的第一段，第一行，我們看到“… 300,000 deaths and about $ 125 billion …”,根據這裡，我們可以把答案鎖定在選項A（economic）和選項B (Rates of death)，然后我們接著往下看，可以發現，第二段就沒有再提到金錢方面了，而都是在講死亡和疾病的話題，如第二段的第三行“… death rates from illnesses … ”。所以，最后正確的選項是B。
63. What do we learn about the Forum's report from the passage?
答案：A. It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.
關鍵詞：learn 、Forum's report
定位：第三段
解析：根據順序原則，我們在接下來的第三段裡就找到了63題的答案。第三段的第一行就講到“the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk”，這和A選項是完全相一致的，challenged是criticism的同義替換。B選項中的“interest”表示“興趣”，主要用於好的事物，這裡講的都是對the Forum's repor的批評，顯然就不合適了。C選項表達的意思跟原文正好相反，這個是肯定要排除的。然后，有的同學可能會選到D選項，可能是受到文中第四段“… primarily in poor countries ,were being seriously effected …”這句話的影響。但是D選項中“a big stir”“一陣巨大的騷亂”文中是完全沒有提到的。
64. What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum's report?
答案：B. It is invalid in terms of methodology.
關鍵詞：Dr. Pielke、say
定位：第五段
解析：在第五段，我們可以很快找到Pielke，然后找到他說的話，第二行“the Forum's report was ‘a methodological embarrassment'”,然后在第六行“but the report, he said‘will harm the … it is so deeply flawed'”。根據這兩句話，選項中invalid 是flawed的同義替換， 我們可以很容易地選到B。
65. What is Soren Andreasen's view of the report?
答案：D. Its rough estimates are meant to draw the attention of world leaders.
關鍵詞：Soren Andreasen
定位：第六段
解析：在第六段的第二行和第三行，可以看到“the number were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders … ”,根據這兩句話，我們就能較輕鬆地將正確答案鎖定在D選項。
66. What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?
答案：D. How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.
關鍵詞：Kofi Annan、focus of the Copenhagen conference
定位：第七段（即文中的最后一段）
解析：最后一段是Kofi Annan說的一段話。我們在最后一段的第二行，focus on后面“… from rich to poor regions to help reduce … ”后面的內容就無需再花時間去看了，因為他focus（關注）的地方，在此就已經陳述清楚了，正確答案就是D。

這是一篇關於科學飲食的科技新聞。
為了讓學生快速進入語境，文章第一段沒有挖空。
從第一段中，我們可以獲得全文主旨：科學飲食的真諦是從大處著眼，
67. 第二段首句有個定語從句：科學飲食遠不止分析每一口放到嘴裡的飯。這裡要選擇一個介詞，lift 的原意是高舉，在這裡的意思就是“放到嘴邊”，to 表示方向。 between 表示在某某之間，不合題意。inside 表示靜態，與lift這個動作相矛盾。同理，B選項through，表示穿過，lift這個動作，到嘴邊就結束了，並沒有穿過嘴巴。
68. 按照原文的邏輯，接下來的一句話，表達過去人們如何如何，是為了給出“靶子”加以批評，所以，我們需要繼續往后讀，讀到作者提倡的做法，然后反向理解一下，便可選出答案。
69. 根據語法搭配，隻有key才可以和后面的to相搭配，所以選擇A選項。
70. 句首的but，是題眼，表達對比之意，所以，下文開始講述“另一種”“不同的”飲食習慣。因此，選擇B選項，different。
71. 這裡是個不定式短語，需要一個動詞，由賓語heart disease可知，“prevent”（預防）是最佳搭配。
72. 考察和general搭配的介詞，隻有in 符合語法。
73. 需要一個動詞和on搭配，語法上四個選項都可以搭配，隻能從詞義上判斷，turn on 表示打開，focus on 表示注重，put on 表示穿衣，carry on 表示執行。根據賓語，“更廣的層面”，可知應該選擇focus on。
74. 需要一個和“時間段”搭配的介詞，over a period of time 表示一段時間以來，符合題意。
75. 這裡表示“是什麼而不是什麼”，應該用rather than 才能准確達意。
76. 這是個分詞短語作后置定語修飾前面的“this or that”，這裡的this or that代指食物。convey是表達，不搭配。enter 可以表示“輸入，記下”，也不和食物搭配。和食物搭配的隻有B和D，consume表示，消費或消耗。exhaust 表示耗盡。很明顯，這裡的食物並不會耗盡，所以隻能選B選項。
這裡我們可以回過頭來，看一下第68題，文章的主旨是，“Scientist now focus on the broader picture of the balance of food eaten over several days or a week”即“科學家現在注重最近幾天內的均衡飲食”，與此能夠形成對比的，“單個營養元素的定量攝入”，這裡能表達特定量的詞隻有“certain”或者“specific”，這裡用certain更自然，但是沒有提供選項，因此就隻能選擇specific，表示“特定的”。
77. 需要個形容詞，做后置定語，和for good health 搭配，這裡隻有vital 能和for搭配，表示“對…重要”。
78. 這裡是一個 The more…the more 的固定表達，表示“越……越……”，這裡用amazed表達科研人員，對新發現所產生的“驚奇之感”。
79. 這裡的they表示食物，結合后面的動詞，構成定語從句，修飾“必備營養元素”，這裡的用contain才能准確達意，“食物包含必備營養元素”
80. 需要一個動詞和with搭配，隻能選擇A和B，但從語義上判斷，必備營養元素之間會相互反應，肯定不會相互干擾。因此隻能選擇interact。
81. 這裡需要一個介詞和track搭配，隻有 on the right track才符合語法
82. 這裡根據題意，“蔬菜、水果和谷物構成了飯菜的四分之三”，這裡make up表達“構成”之意。
83. 這裡需要一個動詞，賓語是“剩余的四分之一”，從語義上理解，我們需要選擇“填充”，因此，fill in 是符合語法的。
84. 這裡需要一個動詞，結合題意，這個空應該表達“不吃”，才能和前面的eat形成對比，這裡的avoid，表達避免的意思，比delete（刪除）更切題。
85. 文章在最后一句，要下一個結論，這裡用without a doubt 表達“毫無疑問”，符合題目要求。
86. 這裡需要一個名詞，和on搭配，隻有impact符合題意。
總之，今年四級的完型填空，涉及3處名詞，5處介詞，7處動詞，4處形容詞和1處副詞。
隻有1題（第68題）需要整體把握，其余部分隻要在句子內部或者句子之間進行上下文邏輯比對或語法搭配，即可完成。
Part VI Translation
87. The university authorities did not approve the regulation, nor did they make any explanation / nor did they give the reason for doing so (也沒有解釋為什麼).
解析：本題考察了兩個知識點。① nor的倒裝句用法，后半句表示“也不”的否定意義，注意助動詞的時態與上半句保持一致﹔② 對某事做出解釋的表達，考察了漢譯英中動詞轉名詞的技巧，explain → explanation，或者nor did they give the reason for doing so同樣可以。
88. Jane is tired of dealing with customer complaints and wishes that she could be assigned (to) another job（能被分配做另一項工作）
解析：本題考察了wish從句的虛擬語氣用法（can→could）和“分配某人做某事”的詞組搭配，assign sb. to sth. 或者assign sb. sth.
89. John rescued the drowning child at the risk of his own life (冒著自己生命危險).
解析：本題考察了“冒著…的危險/風險做某事”的詞組搭配，可以用at the risk / expense of one's own life（冒著某人的生命危險做某事）
90. George called his boss from the airport but it ① was his assistant who answered / picked up the phone﹔② turned out that his assistant answered / picked up the phone（接電話的卻是他的助手）
解析：該句比較靈活，在句法上，既可以使用強調句結構，也可以採用turn out的慣用搭配﹔在“接電話”的表達上，可以用pick up / answer the phone。強調句結構為it be sb. who do sth. ,而turn out變化則較多，可以用turn out to be sb. who do sth.或者turn out + that + 從句。
91. Although he was interested in philosophy, his father persuaded him into / talked him into（他的父親說服他）majoring in law.
解析：本題考察“說服某人做某事”的表達，persuade / talk sb. into doing sth.
整體評價：今年6月的翻譯題難度適中，89和91題的詞組搭配是拿分題，而87題的倒裝結構和88題的虛擬語氣用法也是廣大四級考生的“老朋友”，不熟悉實在說不過去~
