2010年12月大学英语四级考试全真预测试卷二答案详解

　　Part I Writing

　　Will phones kill letter writing?

　　Today, with the quick pace of life, people, especially young people, usually do not have as much time to write letters as before. They communicate with each other through the electric line. They are becoming so dependent on telephones that some people say that one day phones will kill letter writing. But I don't think it is the case.

　　It is true that communicating by letters is not as convenient as by telephone. However, letter writing makes people think clearly. When a person writes, he must organize his thoughts and express his ideas and feelings more logically. In addition, letters give you a chance to read them again. Isn't it exciting to receive a letter from your parents or your friends? Isn't it pleasant to red the letter again and to feel again the excitement and the pleasantness?

　　So if you have time, write a letter right now, and you will certainly give your friends and your family a pleasant surprise.

　　Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

　　1. N 文章主要谈论的是日本科学家对巨型乌贼进行的研究，故本题不正确。

　　2. Y 由题干中的信息词 the North Pacific Ocean 定位到原文第三段第一句，可知题干表述正确。

　　3. Y 由题干中的信息词 Tsunemi Kubodera and Kyoichi Mori 定位原文第六段，可知题干表述正确。

　　4. Y 由文中小标题 Giant Breakthrough 可推知题干表述正确。

　　5. N 文中小标题 Hunting for Clues 下第三段明确指出 two competing schools, 由此可知题干错误。阅读中需注意表分类的数字。

　　6. Y 题干与文章小标题 Hunting for Clues 下第六段表述相同，可知题干正确。

　　7. N 文中的长度先以 feet 为单位给出，然后都用 meters 换算后放在括号里，这样很容易定位长度，可知最长的乌贼是59 feet, 故题干错误。

　　8. eyes of any animal。 colossal squid 只在原文末尾出现过，且用括号给出了其学名，容易定位并找到答案。

　　9. alternative light sources。由题干中的 darkness 可推知答案在小标题 Shedding Light on Giant Squid 下。其中第三段第一句明确给出了答案。

　　10. close encounters with giant squid。由原文倒数第二段可知答案。

　　Part III Listening Comprehension

　　Section A

　　11. C 信息明示题。女士认为卡尔今晚要发表讲话，难事说卡尔最后决定不讲了，所以C 正确。对话中的关键短语是 back out (停止不干)。

　　12. C 信息明示题。男士所说的 you've got a bargain 是英语中的习惯用法，意为“你买到了便宜货”，所以C 正确。
