And, I’ve developed a keen taste of foods all over the metropolis Beijing. Therefore, I’m entitled to give you a tip on the most famous restaurant here in Beijing. For now, I’m proud to recommend Xizhimen Restaurant, which enjoys great popularity

among local reasons why I put my finger on Xizhimen Restaurant as the most prestigious restaurant in this city go as follows. Firstly, it provides its customers with a superb environment for having a meal, with great classical Chinese music, and occasionally with crosstalk performances. Secondly, the restaurant excels in offering foods with local features, which attract both local residents and foreign guests. Thirdly, it has a good location, at the center of the city, and it’s accessible by all kinds of transportation, such as bus, subway or taxi.I’m certain that you will love the restaurant once you come and have a meal there. Maybe you find the foods there are a lot different from foods back in your country. However, you’ll find them delicious in taste and artistic in content and color of the dishes.

Part II Listening Comprehension

Section A

1. W: My birthday is coming soon. I wonder how my birthday party will go a few days later.

M: Relax. I’ll see to it that everything is under control. What you do is just get prepared to enjoy your time.

Q: What does the man imply?

2. W: Come on, Bill, help me with this. I want to reserve a mobile phone of the latest model on this website. I’ve tried many times, but it seems I can’t get connected to the webpage for reservation.

M: Why bother? Why not go to the mobile phone shop around the corner to get one?

Q: What does the man most probably mean?

3. M: Angela, it seems you’re heading for that supermarket. You have many groceries to buy, don’t you?

W: Yes, a lot. I have to buy enough food for my husband and kids. I’m going on a business trip tomorrow. I need to make some preparation for them.

Q: What do we learn about the woman?

4. W: Learning English words really gets me bored to death. I hope I can speak fluent English in a minute.

Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?

5. W: Lionel, I thought you had turned in your term paper yesterday. But, I couldn’t find it in my inbox.

M: I’m awfully sorry. I did send it at 12 o’clock yesterday. I’ll check my email account, to see whether I have sent to a wrong email address. Anyway, I’ll see to it safe in your mail box.

Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?

6. M: I thought you would love soap operas produced in Korea. So, I downloaded some from the Internet for you. But, it seems you don’t like them.

Conversation One

M: All my life, I’ve been told that college life would be the best years of my life. I would have total control of my life. And to some extent, that’s so true.

W: So, you must feel happy and satisfied with you college life. Am I right?

M: Sort of. I eat what I want, when I want. If I feel like cleaning, I can choose to do it or not. And my bed is unmade more often it’s made.

W: It seems you enjoy your school life very much.

M: However, in one aspect, I don’t have control. To be honest, I hate attendance policies at school. In high school, I was told that if I didn’t want to go to class in college, no one would force me to attend classes. That’s kind of true. No one will force you go to a class.

W: Is it real that others don’t care about that?

M: But, the trouble is, the professors will deliver a failing grade, if you’re absent for too many times.

W: What if you’re ill or something urgent happens to you?

M: In fact, in many cases, I am allowed a certain number of absences before my credit is times the number is as high as nine, other times as low as two. Some professors differentiate between excused and unexcused absences. Excused absences include university sports, a death in the immediate family, and illness with a doctor’s allowed note.

W: In my opinion, attendance policies at your school are fair. Don’t complain anymore. There’s never complete freedom under any circumstance.

Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

W: I did a part-time job at the Lucas Public Library as an assistant librarian. That’s what I did during our summer holiday.

M: So, you must have a busy day collecting books and putting them on the right bookshelf.

W: I was busy, but I felt happy. I was happy to be one part of the Library to serve all the members of the public in the community. I felt proud that my job has a positive impact on people’s life, enriching their lives through reading and continuous learning.

M: Wow, I know you’re not exaggerating. Do you want to be a professional librarian after graduation from college?

W: Being a librarian will be great. You know, as a librarian, it doesn’t mean that you have to face tons of tons of books every day.

M: What’s it like to be a librarian? What else did you do back in the library?

W: I was an assistant librarian. So, I just tried my best to support professional librarians’ work. Most of the time, the professional librarians have to deal with people. For example, providing training in information retrieval for the public, teaching user education programs, and providing reference service to the public. Most importantly, they have to learn much knowledge in order to use different kinds of information tools and manage those electronic resources.

Section B

Passage One

Math tends to be one of those subjects that can bring out the worst in a student. Without the proper knowledge and understanding, students can be understandably frustrated by mathematics. In fact, the majority of college students claim that math is their most difficult subject. Unfortunately, many of these same students are convinced that it is simply a subject that they’ll never understand, but that is not the case. With just a few minor changes to their outlook and study habits, these students can excel.

Firstly, focus on the concept, not just the equation. Many people find that they have an easier timein math if they actually understand what they’re doing and why. Don’t spend a lot of time drilling formulas and equations, but rather look at each problem and contemplate what it is asking of you.

Secondly, stay positive. It’s easy to become frustrated and negative when you are uncertain about a problem, but those feelings will only add more stress to the situation. Instead, remind yourself that you can do the problem if you stay focused.

Thirdly, keep it fun. After hours of staring at math problems, the brain can become a little confused. Try to strengthen your math skills through various card games and other fun activities. You can find them, along with other similar games, on the web.

Fourthly, work the problems out in your head or on paper. Avoid the temptation to use the calculator or computer for problems that you can solve without them.

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.

16. How do most college students view math?

17. Why does the speaker advise not to drill formulas and equations?

18. What’s the use of card games in learning math?

If your loved one needs a wheelchair at the airport, advance boarding of the airplane or train, o rspecial seating in a disabled row or near a restroom, get in touch with the airline personnel or travel company to make sure these are available upon arrival. Contact the airline in advance to arrange for special screening if your loved one has disabilities or special needs, and contact hotels to check on things like shower bars and accessible rooms.

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.

19. What is the key to a worry-free trip with elderly parents?

20. What kind of destination should you choose when traveling with the elderly?

21. Who could help if your elderly has some special needs during the trip?

In order to communicate well with people from other cultures, you should adopt a flexible attitude. First, you should learn about the culture 26. beforehand. A little knowledge can go a long way.

In your heart, you should also be prepared for differences. Different cultures will speak at different 28. volumes, be more or less direct in showing emotion, may or may not expect to engage in“small talk,” and exhibit other 29. dissimilarities in communication. When communicating with people from other cultures, be prepared to face such differences, including ones that you were not e of.

Besides, you should be ready to understand hierarchies. When communicating with a different culture, there may be 31. unwritten rules about social hierarchy that you are not used to.

Last, you may come across difficulties in communication. If you could not understand someone, or think that he or she did not understand you, say something about it. Avoid being rude or 34.

【拓展】英语四级阅读词汇题技巧

一、词汇题

1. 题型特点

词义题的考查有两种：一是超纲词含义的'推断，另一个是熟词僻义或是在特定场合的意思。

2. 标志

题干中具体给出原文中某处的单词或短语，要求推测其意思。

3. 关键词

能帮助读者猜测词义的上下文线索通常有定义、重述、解释、举例、同义词或近义词、反义词或标点符号等等。如通常使用信号词，如 is，are，is(are) called，mean， refer to，known as 等来引导定义。

4. 命题模式

(1) The word “…”(in line…)most probably means 。

(2) From the passage, we can infer that the word “…”is 。

(3) From the first paragraph, we learn that。

5. 做题关键

注意单词所在的上下文，尤其是上下句。假如所考单词是常见词汇，那么其字面意思一定不是正确答案，要根据上下文得出其在特定场合更深刻的意思，该含义也许和其字面意思没有任何的关系。

猜测词义的方法：

(1)构词法：根据词根，词缀判断词义;

(2)词性加搭配：先判断生词在文章中的词性，再看它与哪些词语可以搭配，最后根据自己的常识推测;

(3)找同义词、同义解释、反义词、反义解释：在上下文中找出生词的其他表示方法，由此推断其含义;

(4)找同位词：上下文中有可能有类似生词出现的句子的平行结构，找出其中和生词处于同一位置的词去推测。

6. 做题步骤

(1) 返回原文，找出该词汇出现的地方;

(2) 注意结合上下文理解该单词的含义;

(3) 如果该词汇是简单词汇，则其字面意思必然不是正确答案;

(4) 词汇题的正确答案经常蕴藏在原文该词汇出现的附近。特别注意不能靠单词词义直接往下过分推理;

(5) 寻找时要注意特殊标点、定语从句、构词的前后缀等，特别要注意寻找时的同性原则。例如，冒号前的词汇的意思可以由冒号后的部分归纳，破折号之后词汇的意思可以由破折号之前的部分推测;

(6)代入法。将确定的答案代入原文，看上下文逻辑是否通顺，如果通顺就是正确答案。
