As Tourists Crowd Out Locals, Venice Faces “Endangered” List

[A] On a recent fall morning, a large crowd blocked the steps at one of Venice's main tourist sites, the

2018年6月大学英语四级真题试题一(完整版)

第 7 页共 151 页

Rialto Bridge. The Rialto Bridge is one of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal. It is theoldest bridge across the canal, and was the dividing line between the districts of San Marco and San Polo. But on this day, there was a twist： it was filled with Venetians, not tourists.

[B ] “ People are cheering and holding their carts in the air, says Giovanni Giorgio, who helped organize

the march with a grass-roots organization called Generazione ?90. The carts he refers to are small shopping carts—the symbol of a true Venetian. “It started as a joke,” he says with a laugh. “The idea was to put blades on the wheels! You know? Like Ben Hur. Precisely like that, you just go around and run people down. ''

[C] Venice is one of the hottest tourist destinations in the world. But that's a problem. Up to 90,000

tourists crowd its streets and canals every day—far outnumbering the 55 ,000 permanent residents. The tourist increase is one key reason the city's population is down from 175,000 in the 1950s. The outnumbered Venetians have been steadily fleeing. And those who stick around are tired of living in a place where they can 't even get to the market without swimming through a sea of picture-snapping tourists. Imagine, navigating through 50,000 people while on the way to school or to work.

[D ] Laura Chigi, a grandmother at the march, says the local and national governments have failed to do

anything about the crowds for decades, because they 're only interested in tourism—the primary industry in Venice, worth more than $3 billion in 2015. “Venice is a cash cow,” she says, “and everyone wants a piece. ''

[E]Just beyond St. Mark?s Square, a cruise ship passes, one of hundreds every year that appear over their

medieval (中世纪的）surroundings. Their massive wake creats waves at the bottom of the sea, weakening the foundations of the centuries-old buildings themselves. “ Every time I see a cruise ship, I feel sad,” Chigi says. “You see the mud it drags； the destruction it leaves in its wake? That hurts the ancient wooden poles holding up the city underwater. One day we '11 see Venice break down.”

[F]For a time, UNESCO, the cultural wing of the United Nations, seemed to agree. Two years ago, it put

Italy on notice, saying the government was not protecting Venice. UNESCO considers the entire city a World Heritage Site, a great honor that means Venice, at the cultural level, belongs to all of the

2018年6月大学英语四级真题试题一(完整版)

world's people. In 2014, UNESCO gave Italy two years to manage Venice, s flourishing tourism or the city would be placed on another list—World Heritage In Danger, joining such sites as Aleppo and Palmyra, destroyed by the war in Syria.

[G]Venice's deadline passed with barely a murmur (嘟哝)this summer, just as UNESCO was meeting in

Istanbul. Only one representative, Jad Tabet from Lebanon, tried to raise the issue. “For several years, the situation of heritage in Venice has been worsening, and it has now reached a dramatic situation,” Tabet told UNESCO. “We have to act quickly, there is not a moment to waste. ''

[H]But UNESCO didn't even hold a vote. “It's been postponed until 2017，''says Anna Somers, the

founder and CEO of The Art Newspaper and the former head of Venice in Peril, a group devoted to restoring Venetian art. She says the main reason the U. N. cultural organization didn 't vote to declare Venice a World Heritage Site In Danger is because UNESCO has become “ intensely politicized. There would have been some back-room negotiations.

[I]Italy boasts more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country in the world, granting it

considerable power and influence within the organization. The former head of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, which oversees heritage sites, is Francesco Bandarin, a Venetian who now serves as UNESCO's assistant director-general for culture.

[J]Earlier this year, Italy signed an accord with UNESCO to establish a task force of police art detectives

and archaeologists (考古学家）to protect cultural heritage from natural disasters and terror groups, such as ISIS. The accord underlined Italy 's global reputation as a good steward of art and culture.

[K]But adding Venice to the UNESCO endangered list—which is dominated by sites in developing and

conflict-ridden countries—would be an international embarrassment, and could even hurt Italy 's profitable tourism industry. The Italian Culture Ministry says it is unaware of any government efforts to pressure UNESCO. As for the organization itself, it declined a request for an interview.

[L]The city 's current mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, has ridiculed UNESCO and told it to mind its own business,

while continuing to support the cruise ship industry, which employs 5,000 Venice residents.

[M]As for Venetians, they're beyond frustrated and hoping for a solution soon. “It's a nightmare for me.

Some situations are really difficult with tourists around，” says Giorgio as he navigates around a swelling crowd at the Rialto Bridge. “There are just so many of them. They never know where they are going, and do not walk in an orderly manner. Navigating the streets can be exhausting. ”

[N]Then it hits him: This crowd isn?t made up of tourists. They're Venetians. Giorgio says he?s never

experienced the Rialto Bridge this way in all his 22 years. “For once, we are the ones who are blocking the traffic，” he says delightedly. “It feels unreal. It feels like we 're some form of endangered species. It's just nice. The feeling is just pure. n But, he worries, if tourism isn't managed and his fellow locals continue to move to the mainland, his generation might be the last who can call themselves native Venetians.

Section C

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 2with a single line through the centre. Passage One

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

Losing your ability to think and remember is pretty scary. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn't worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.

After age 50，it's quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.

Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don't remember even seeing it, that's far more concerning, Daffner says.

When you forget entire experiences, he says, that's “a red flag that something more serious may be involved”. Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you've visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong.

But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn't panic. There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物)like antidepressants.

You don't have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain's cognitive (认知的）reserve, Daffner says.

“Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways,” he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster.

47.What happens as we become aged according to the passage? A)Our interaction skills deteriorate. B)Some parts of our brain stop functioning. C)Communication within our brain weakens. D)Our whole brain starts shrinking.

48.Which memory-related symptom should people take seriously? A)Totally forgetting how to do one's daily routines. B)Inability to recall details of one's life experiences. C)Failure to remember the names of movies or actors. D)Occasionally confusing the addresses of one's friends.

49.What should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up? A)Check the brain's cognitive reserve. B)Stop medications affecting memory. C)Turn to a professional for assistance. D)Exercise to improve their well-being.

Passage Two

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

A letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives (档案馆）by the FBI after being stolen twice.

“We realized in the mid-1970s that it was missing，” says Effie Kapsalis, head of the Smithsonian Institution Archives. “ It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern (实习生），from what the FBI is telling us. Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes,” and the intern put the letter back. “The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it. ”

Decades passed. Finally, the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very close to Washington, D. C. Their art crime team recovered the letter but were unable to press charges because the time of limitations had ended. The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian 's property.

The letter was written by Darwin to thank an American geologist, Dr. Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, for sending him copies of his research into the geology of the region that would become Yellowstone National Park.

The letter is in fairly good condition，in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long. “It was luckily in good shape, ''says Kapsalis. “and we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it. It has some glue on it that has colored it slightly, but nothing that will prevent us from using it. After it is repaired, we will take digital photos of it and that will be available online. One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online. ”

It would now be difficult for an intern, visitor or a thief to steal a document like this. “Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s，''says Kapsalis, “and we keep our high value documents in a safe that I don't even have access to. ''

53.What is Darwin's letter about?

A)The evolution of Yellowstone National Park. B)His cooperation with an American geologist. C)Some geological evidence supporting his theory. D)His acknowledgement of help from a professional.

54.What will the Smithsonian Institution Archives do with the letter according to Kapsalis? A)Reserve it for research purposes only. B)Turn it into an object of high interest. C)Keep it a permanent secret. D)Make it available online.

55.What has the past half century witnessed according to Kapsalis? A)Growing interest in rare art objects. B)Radical changes in archiving practices. C)Recovery of various missing documents. D)Increases in the value of museum exhibits.

Have you ever felt like you would do just about anything to satisfy your hunger? 【16】 A new study in mice may help to explain why hunger can feel like such a powerful motivating force. In the study, researchers found that hunger outweighed other physical drives, including fear，thirst and social needs. To determine which feeling won out, the researchers did a series of experiments. In one experiment, the mice were both hungry and thirsty. When given the choice of either eating food or drinking water, the mice went for the food, the researchers found. However, when the mice were well-fed but thirsty, they opted to drink, according to the study. In the second experiment meant to pit the mice?s hunger against their fear. Hungry mice were placed in a cage that had certain fox-scented areas and other places that smelled safer (in other words, not like an animal that could eat them) but also had food. 【17】 It turned out that when the mice were hungry, they ventured into the unsafe areas for food. But when the mice were well-fed they stayed in areas of the cage that were considered safe. Hunger also outweighed the mice?s social needs, the researchers found. 【18】 Mice are usually social animals and prefer to be in the company of other mice, according to the study. When the mice were hungry, they opted to leave the company of other mice to go get food.

【19】 The United States has one of the best highway systems in the world. Interstate highways connect just about every large and mid-sized city in the country. Did you ever wonder why such a complete system of excellent roads exists? For an answer，you would have to go back to the early 1920s. In those years just after World War Ⅰ, 【20】 the military wanted to build an American highway system for national defense. Such a system could, if necessary, move troops quickly from one area to another. It could also get people out of cities in danger of being bombed. So-called roads of national importance were designated, but they were mostly small country roads. In 1944, Congress passed a bill to upgrade the system, but did not fund the plan right away. In the 1950s, the plan began to become a reality. Over $25 billion was appropriated by Congress, and construction began on about 40,000 miles of new roads. The idea was to connect the new system to existing expressways and freeways. And though the system was built mostly to make car travel easier， defense was not forgotten. For instance， highway overpasses had to be high enough to allow trailers carrying military missiles to pass under them.【21】 By 1974， this system was mostly completed. A few additional roads would come later. Quick and easy travel between all parts of the country was now possible. 【杀掉拦路虎】 1. Interstate [??nt??steit] adj. <美>洲际的; n. 洲际公路

【22】 Texting while driving was listed as a major cause of road deaths among young Americans back in 2013. A recent study said that 40 percent of American teens claim to have been in a car when the driver used a cell phone in a way that put people in danger. This sounds like a widespread disease， but it?s one that technology may now help to cure. T. J. Evarts, a 20-year-old inventor, has come up with a novel solution that could easily put texting drivers on notice. 【23】 It?s called Smart Wheel, and it?s designed to fit over the steering wheel of most standard vehicles to track whether or not the driver has two hands on the wheel at all times. 【24】 Evarts?s invention warns the drivers with a light and a sound when they hold the wheel with one hand only, but as soon as they place the other hand back on the wheel the light turns back to green and the sound stops. It also watches for what?s called “close by hands”, where both hands are close together near the top of the wheel so the driver can type with both thumbs and drive at the same time. 【25】All the data Smart Wheel collects is also sent to a connected app, so any parents who install Smart Wheel can keep track of the teens? driving habits.

As Tourists Crowd Out Locals, Venice Faces “Endangered” List

[A] On a recent fall morning, a large crowd blocked the steps at one of Venice's main tourist sites, the Rialto Bridge. The Rialto Bridge is one of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal. It is theoldest bridge across the canal, and was the dividing line between the districts of San Marco and San Polo. But on this day, there was a twist： it was filled with Venetians, not tourists.

[B ] 【42】“ People are cheering and holding their carts in the air, says Giovanni Giorgio, who helped organize the march with a grass-roots organization called Generazione ?90. The carts he refers to are small shopping carts—the symbol of a true Venetian. “It started as a joke,” he says with a laugh. “The idea was to put blades on the wheels! You know? Like Ben Hur. Precisely like that, you just go around and run people down. ''

[C] Venice is one of the hottest tourist destinations in the world. But that's a problem. 【39】Up to 90,000 tourists crowd its streets and canals every day—far outnumbering the 55 ,000 permanent 2018年6月大学英语四级真题试题一(完整版)

第 41 页共 151 页

residents. The tourist increase is one key reason the city's population is down from 175,000 in the 1950s. The outnumbered Venetians have been steadily fleeing. And those who stick around are tired of living in a place where they can 't even get to the market without swimming through a sea of picture-snapping tourists. Imagine, navigating through 50,000 people while on the way to school or to work.

[D ]【44】Laura Chigi, a grandmother at the march, says the local and national governments have failed to do anything about the crowds for decades, because they 're only interested in tourism—the primary industry in Venice, worth more than $3 billion in 2015. “Venice is a cash cow,” she says, “and everyone wants a piece. '' [E]【36】Just beyond St. Mark?s Square, a cruise ship passes, one of hundreds every year that appear over their medieval (中世纪的）surroundings. Their massive wake creats waves at the bottom of the sea, weakening the foundations of the centuries-old buildings themselves. “ Every time I see a cruise ship, I feel sad,” Chigi says. “You see the mud it drags； the destruction it leaves in its wake? That hurts the ancient wooden poles holding up the city underwater. One day we '11 see Venice break down.”

[F]For a time, 【41】UNESCO, the cultural wing of the United Nations, seemed to agree. Two years ago, it put Italy on notice, saying the government was not protecting Venice. UNESCO considers the entire city a World Heritage Site, a great honor that means Venice, at the cultural level, belongs to all of the world's people. In 2014, UNESCO gave Italy two years to manage Venice, s flourishing tourism or the city would be placed on another list—World Heritage In Danger, joining such sites as Aleppo and Palmyra, destroyed by the war in Syria.

[G]Venice's deadline passed with barely a murmur (嘟哝)this summer, just as UNESCO was meeting in

Istanbul. Only one representative, Jad Tabet from Lebanon, tried to raise the issue.【38】“For several years, the situation of heritage in Venice has been worsening, and it has now reached a dramatic situation,” Tabet told UNESCO. “We have to act quickly, there is not a moment to waste. ''

[H]But UNESCO didn't even hold a vote. “It's been postponed until 2017，''says Anna Somers, the

founder and CEO of The Art Newspaper and the former head of Venice in Peril, a group devoted to restoring Venetian art.【45】She says the main reason the U. N. cultural organization didn 't vote to declare Venice a World Heritage Site In Danger is because UNESCO has become “ intensely politicized. There would have been some back-room negotiations.

[I]Italy boasts more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country in the world, granting it

[J]Earlier this year, 【37】Italy signed an accord with UNESCO to establish a task force of police art detectives and archaeologists (考古学家）to protect cultural heritage from natural disasters and terror groups, such as ISIS. The accord underlined Italy 's global reputation as a good steward of art and culture.

[K]But adding Venice to the UNESCO endangered list—which is dominated by sites in developing and

[L]【43】The city 's current mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, has ridiculed UNESCO and told it to mind its own business, while continuing to support the cruise ship industry, which employs 5,000 Venice residents. [M]As for Venetians, they're beyond frustrated and hoping for a solution soon. “It's a nightmare for me.

[N]Then it hits him: This crowd isn?t made up of tourists. They're Venetians. Giorgio says he?s never

experienced the Rialto Bridge this way in all his 22 years. “For once, we are the ones who are

blocking the traffic，” he says delightedly. “It feels unreal. It feels like we 're some form of endangered species. It's just nice. The feeling is just pure. n But, he worries,【40】 if tourism isn't managed and his fellow locals continue to move to the mainland, his generation might be the last who can call themselves native Venetians. 解析: 做段落匹配题，由于时间限制，需要快速阅读，大眼一看，就得得出答案，否则将影响后后面的写作。

Section C

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

Losing your ability to think and remember is pretty scary. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. 【46】But if you have memory slips, you probably needn't worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss. After age 50，it's quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

【47】The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.

says.

【48】When you forget entire experiences, he says, that's “a red flag that something more serious may be involved”. Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you've visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong. But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn't panic. There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物)like antidepressants.

【49】You don't have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain's cognitive (认知的）reserve, Daffner says.

“Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways,” he says. 【50】In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster.

Passage Two

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

2018年6月大学英语四级真题试题一(完整版)

第 54 页共 151 页

A letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives (档案馆）by the FBI after being stolen twice.

【51】“We realized in the mid-1970s that it was missing，” says Effie Kapsalis, head of the Smithsonian Institution Archives. “ It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern (实习生），from what the FBI is telling us. Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes,” and the intern put the letter back. “The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it. ”

Decades passed. Finally, the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very close to Washington, D. C. 【52】Their art crime team recovered the letter but were unable to press charges because the time of limitations had ended. The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian 's property. 【53】The letter was written by Darwin to thank an American geologist, Dr. Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, for sending him copies of his research into the geology of the region that would become Yellowstone National Park. The letter is in fairly good condition，in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long. “It was luckily in good shape, ''says Kapsalis. “and we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it. It has some glue on it that has colored it slightly, but nothing that will prevent us from using it. 【54】After it is repaired, we will take digital photos of it and that will be available online. One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online. ”

【55】It would now be difficult for an intern, visitor or a thief to steal a document like this. “Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s，''says Kapsalis, “and we keep our high value documents in a safe that I don't even have access to. ''

sent parents an alarming 16-page letter. The school district, he said, was facing a crisis. Its students were overburdened and stressed out, having to cope with too much work and too many demands. In the previous school year, 120 middle and high school students were recommended for mental health assessments and 40 were hospitalized. And on a survey administered by the district, students wrote things like, “I hate going to school，” and “Coming out of 12 years in this district, I have learned one thing: that a grade, a percentage or even a point is to be valued over anything else. ”

[B] With his letter, Aderhold inserted West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District into a national

discussion about the intense focus on achievement at elite schools, and whether it has gone too far. At follow-up meetings, he urged parents to join him in advocating a whole child ” approach to schooling that respects “social-emotional development” and “deep and meaningful learning” over academics alone. The alternative, he suggested, was to face the prospect of becoming another Palo Alto, California, where outsize stress on teenage students is believed to have contributed to a number of suicides in the last six years.

[C]But instead of bringing families together, Aderhold's letter revealed a divide in the district, which has

9 ,700 students, and one that broke down roughly along racial lines. On one side are white parents like Catherine Foley, a former president of the Parent-Teacher-Student Association at her daughter 's middle school, who has come to see the district 's increasingly pressured atmosphere as opposed to learning. “ My son was in fourth grade and told me, ?I'm not going to amount to anything because I have nothing to put on my resume，” she said. On the other side are parents like Mike Jia, one of the thousands of Asian-American professionals who have moved to the district in the past decade, who said Aderhold?s reforms would amount to a “ dumbing down ” of his children 's education. “ What is happening here reflects a national anti-intellectual trend that will not prepare our children for the future，''Jia said.

[D]About 10 minutes from Princeton and an hour and a half from New York City, West Windsor and

Plainsboro have become popular bedroom communities for technology entrepreneurs, researchers and engineers, drawn in large part by the public schools. From the last three graduating classes, 16 seniors were admitted to MIT. It produces Science Olympiad winners, classically trained musicians and students with perfect SAT scores.

[E] The district has become increasingly popular with immigrant families from China, India and Korea.

This year, 65 percent of its students are Asian-American, compared with 44 percent in 2007. Many of them are the first in their families born in the United States. They have had a growing influence on the district. Asian-American parents are enthusiastic supporters of the competitive instrumental music program. They have been huge supporters of the district 's advanced mathematics program, which once began in the fourth grade but will now start in the sixth. The change to the program, inwhich 90 percent of the participating students are Asian-American, is one of Aderhold's reforms.

[F]Asian-American students have been eager participants in a state program that permits them to take

summer classes off campus for high school credit, allowing them to maximize the number of honors and Advanced Placement classes they can take, another practice that Aderhold is limiting this school year. With many Asian-American children attending supplementary instructional programs, there is a perception among some white families that the elementary school curriculum is being sped up to accommodate them.

[G]Both Asian-American and white families say the tension between the two groups has grown steadily

over the past few years, as the number of Asian families has risen. But the division has become more obvious in recent months as Aderhold has made changes, including no-homework nights, an end to high school midterms and finals, and an initiative that made it easier to participate in the music program.

[H]Jennifer Lee, professor of sociology at the University of California, Irvine, and an author of The Asian

American Achievement Paradox, says misunderstandings between first-generation Asian-American parents and those who have been in this country longer are common. What white middle-class parents do not always understand, she said, is how much pressure recent immigrants feel to boost their

2018年6月大学英语四级真题试题二(完整版)

第 68 页共 151 页

children into the middle class. “They don't have the same chances to get their children internships (实习职位）or jobs at law firms,” Lee said. “So what they believe is that their children must excel and beat their white peers in academic settings so they have the same chances to excel later. ”

[I] The issue of the stresses felt by students in elite school districts has gained attention in recent years as

schools in places like Newton, Massachusetts, and Palo Alto have reported a number of suicides. West Windsor-Plainsboro has not had a teenage suicide in recent years, but Aderhold, who has worked in the district for seven years and been chief for the last three years, said he had seen troubling signs. In a recent art assignment, a middle school student depicted (描绘）an overburdened child who was being scolded for earning an A, rather than an A + , on a math exam. In the image, the mother scolds the student with the words, “Shame on you!” Further, he said, the New Jersey Education Department has flagged at least two pieces of writing on state English language assessments in which students expressed suicidal thoughts.

[J] The survey commissioned by the district found that 68 percent of high school honor and Advanced

Placement students reported feeling stressed about school “always or most of the time”. “We need to bring back some balance,” Aderhold said. “You don't want to wait until it's too late to do something. ''

[K] Not all public opinion has fallen along racial lines. Karen Sue, the Chinese-American mother of a

fifth-grader and an eighth-grader, believes the competition within the district has gotten out of control. Sue, who was born in the United States to immigrant parents, wants her peers to dial it back. “It's become an arms race, an educational arms race,” she said. “We all want our kids to achieve and be successful. The question is, at what cost?”

Section C

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

Living in an urban area with green spaces has a long-lasting positive impact on people 's mental wellbeing, a study has suggested. UK researchers found moving to a green space had a sustained positive effect, unlike pay rises or promotions, which only provided a short-term boost. Co-author Mathew White, from the University of Exeter, UK, explained that the study showed people living in greener urban areas were displaying fewer signs of depression or anxiety. “There could be a number of reasons,” he said, “for example, people do many things to make themselves happier: they strive for promotion or pay rises, or they get married. But the trouble with those things is that within six months to a year, people are back to their original baseline levels of well-being. So, these things are not sustainable ； they don't make us happy in the long term. We found that for some lottery (彩票）winners who had won more than ￡ 500,000 the positive effect was definitely there, but after six months to a year, they were back to the baseline. ”

2018年6月大学英语四级真题试题二(完整版)

第 70 页共 151 页

Dr. White said his team wanted to see whether living in greener urban areas had a lasting positive effect on people's sense of well-being or whether the effect also disappeared after a period of time. To do this, the team used data from the British Household Panel Survey compiled by the University of Essex.

Explaining what the data revealed, he said: “What you see is that even after three years, mental health is still better, which is unlike many other things that we think will make us happy. ” He observed that people living in green spaces were less stressed, and less stressed people made more sensible decisions and communicated better.

With a growing body of evidence establishing a link between urban green spaces and a positive impact on human well-being, Dr. White said.There's growing interest among public policy officials, but the trouble is who funds it. What we really need at a policy level is to decide where the money will come from to help support good quality local green spaces. ''

Passage Two

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

You probably know about the Titanic, but it was actually just one of three state-of-the-art (最先进的）ocean ships back in the day. The Olympic class ships were built by the Harland & Wolff ship makers in Northern Ireland for the White Star Line company. The Olympic class included the Olympic, theBritannic and the Titanic. What you may not know is that the Titanic wasn't even the flagship of thisclass.All in all, the Olympic class ships were marvels of sea engineering, but they seemed cursed tosuffer disastrous fates.

The Olympic launched first in 1910, followed by the Titanic in 1911, and lastly the Britannic in1914. The ships had nine decks, and White Star Line decided to focus on making them the mostluxurious ships on the water.

Stretching 269.13 meters, the Olympic class ships were wonders of naval technology, and everyonethought that they would continue to be so for quite some time. However, all suffered terrible accidents on theopen seas. The Olympic got wrecked before the Titanic did，but it was the only one to survive and maintain asuccessful career of 24 years. The Titanic was the first to sink after famously hitting a huge iceberg in 1912.Following this disaster, (he Britannic hit a naval mine in 1916 and subsequently sank as well.

Each ship was coal-powered by several boilers constantly kept running by exhausted crews belowdeck. Most recognizable of the ship designs are the ship's smoke stacks, but the fourth stack

wasactuallyjust artistic in nature and served no functional purpose. While two of these ships sank, they wereall designed with double hulls (船体）believed to make them “unsinkable”，perhaps a mistaken idea thatled to the Titanic?s and the Britannic?s tragic end.

The Olympic suffered two crashes with other ships and went on to serve as a hospital ship and trooptransport in World War I. Eventually, she was taken out of service in 1935，endingthe era of theluxurious Olympic class ocean liners.

第 75 页共 151 页

Kelly Swisher, an Arkansas woman, escaped injury and managed to safely stop her car after a four-foot long rat snake came out from under her car seat and slithered across her feet as she was driving down the highway. Rat snakes aren?t poisonous or a threat to people generally. 【1】 But the woman says the snake she encountered Thursday terrified her out of her wits. 【2】 It was rough with big scales, said Swisher, who was on her way to pick up her friend at the airport when it happened. I don?t know whether I had my hands on the steering wheel or not. I am not the most flexible person in the world, but I can guarantee my knees were up next to my ears. She said the snake first slithered back under the seat and she hoped it would stay there until she was able to get off the highway and stop. “That didn?t work out,” she said. “Here he comes, and he wound up in my back seat before I could finally get off the road, stop and get out of the car.” She called for help and Washington County Animal Control officers came and captured the snake.

【3】Fast food, as it turns out, isn?t quite as fast as it used to be. A new study finds that McDonald?s posted its slowest drive-through times since this survey was first conducted fifteen years ago. At McDonald?s, customers were spent on average three minutes and nine seconds from the time they placed their orders until they received their food. That?s about ten seconds more than the industry average and a lot slower than a decade ago, according to the study which was commissioned by QSR, an industry trade publication. And McDonald?s wasn?t alone in slowing down. Other chains also saw their drive-through performance slowing down. 【4】Among the reasons for the slower service, today there are more choices on the menu, and the products themselves are more complex and take longer to prepare. Speed, of course, is essential to the drive-through experience, and drive-throughs are hugely important to chains such as McDonald?s, Burger King, and Taco Bell. Usually, the drive-through accounts for sixty to seventy percent of all business that goes through a fast food restaurant, notes Sam Ochers, editor of QSR. Of course, consumers also want their orders prepared correctly and on that score, Ochers says, accuracy is still really high.

Even after all these years, I want to get better and better. I keep practicing even when I?m exhausted. I find it hard to stop. Dancing reminds me I?m alive.”
