2007年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試全真預(yù)測(cè)卷二參考答案

Passage One

Is your family interested in buying a dog? A dog can be a happy addition to your family, but if you choose the wrong kind of dog, the consequences can cause you a lot of trouble.

Families should sit down and thoroughly discuss the problems involved before buying a dog. Even if the children in your family are the ones who want the dogs, the parents are the ones who are really responsible for seeing that the animal is properly cared for. If you don’t know much about dogs, it’s a good idea to go to the library or the ASPCA for books about various kinds of dogs, as well as books about how to train a puppy. When a book describes a dog as an ideal hunting dog, it probably means that the dog won’t be happy living in a small apartment. Dog breeds vary in popularity as the years go by. One of the most popular dogs these days is the German shepherd. This is because it provides protection as well as companionship. The family should be warned that these dogs grow up to be very big, and may be too powerful for children to handle. If space is limited, a toy dog may be a good choice. These dogs are very small and easy to train. They don’t need to be walked daily, since they can exercise in the space available in the home.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. What is the main topic of the talk?

27. According to the speaker who was really responsible for the dog’s welfare?

【解析】C 說(shuō)話者認(rèn)為父母才是最應(yīng)該對(duì)小狗負(fù)責(zé)的人。從這句話中就可以看出來(lái)：the parents are the ones who are really responsible for seeing that the animal is properly cared for.

28. When is the toy dog a good choice?

【解析】C 當(dāng)你的住房面積很小的時(shí)候，養(yǎng)一只小型狗是很好的選擇。文中有明確地指出：If space is limited, a toy dog may be a good choice.
　Passage Two

Everywhere we look, we see Americans running. They run for every reason anybody could think of. They run for health, for beauty, to lose weight, to feel fit, and because it is the thing they love to do. Every year, for example, thousands of people run in one race, the Boston Marathon, the best know long distance race in the United States. In recent years there have been nearly 5,000 official competitors and it takes three whole minutes for the crowd of runners just to cross the starting line.

You may have heard the story of the Greek runner, Pheidippides. He ran from Marathon to Athens to deliver the news of the great victory 2,500 years ago. No one knows how long it took him to run the distance. But the story tells us that he died of the effort. Today no one will die in a Marathon race. But at the finish line, we see what this race is about; not being first, but finishing. The real victory is not over one’s fellow runners, but over one’s own body. It is a victory of will power over fatigue. In the Boston Marathon, each person who crosses that finish line is a winner.

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

【解析】C 判斷推理題。見第二段，“The real victory is not over one’s fellow runners, but over one’s own body”真正的勝利不是戰(zhàn)勝對(duì)手，而是戰(zhàn)勝自己。

Passage Three

Of all the stars the sun is the nearest to the earth. Millions of other stars are even bigger and brighter than the sun. They look small only because they are much father away. You can’t see them in the daytime. But if you go out at night, you’ll be able to see thousands of them.
