2018年6月英语四级真题2019年6月大学英语四级真题及答案解析完整版（卷一）Part I Writing(30 minutes)请于正式开考后半小时内完成该部分，之后将进行听力考试。For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a news report to your school newspaper on a volunteer activity organized by your Student Union to help elderly people in the neighborhood .You should write at least 120 words not more than 180 words.【范文】Young Volunteers Visited a Nursing HomeVolunteers from our university visited a nursing home located in Hangzhou on June 14th, which was highly appraised by the elderly there.Upon the students arrival, tears of joy glistened in the seniors eyes when the young students presented them with well-prepared gifts. Then, the students talked to them one-on-one with kindness. Both the youth and the aged were willing to share their life stories, immersing in an atmosphere of joy. When it was time for the youngsters to leave, the elderly thanked them over and over again. And the volunteers expressed that they learned a lot and were all stunned by the optimism their elderly friends had for their future.According to Winston Churchill, a British statesman, “we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” The visit not only enriches the seniors daily life, but also provides the youth with an opportunity to learn some important life lessons from the elderly residents.By Aria, school newspaper【点评】写作试题是考查考生综合运用英语语言的能力，四级写作试题对考生的要求也越来越高。今年考查了新闻报道这一新的文章体裁，这也就意味着出题人更加强调学生把考场作文和真实生活中的写作联系在一起，对于学生观察生活的能力提出了更高的要求注意到新闻的格式和内容安排的特点。一方面，新闻报道需要写出标题和落款，标题注意简洁明了，落款既要写出人名还要按照新闻报道的格式写出by sb.，最后还要写出所在的新闻机构。另一方面，在内容上，分三段进行写作，第一段写导语，点明事件的基本情况(时间、地点、事件、人物、目的或意义);第二段写经过(一般按照时间顺序进行书写，同时可以对其中一个小事进行特写，中间还可以穿插人物采访);第三段写对这一事件，人物的看法、想法和观点。在体裁上虽然不同于以往四级命题的规律，但是万变不离其宗的是仍然把学生对英语语言能力的运用能力作为考查重点。综观近五年的四级写作命题趋势，无论是要说明理由、解释原因、阐明影响，第一段的功能始终都是引入，这跟新闻报道的第一段写导语是一致的，所以考生可以结合以往作文的行文思路作为切入点书写新闻报道。第二段是浓墨重彩的一段，而新闻报道与普通作文的区别是更侧重事实，所以要求考生在书写的时候只需要客观写出事情的起因、经过、结果即可。第三段无论是以往的作文还是新闻报道，都需要给出总结(对事件的看法和观点)，在新闻报道的结尾段作出对事件的评价和写出所的感悟就可以了。今年考查的话题是养老院、农场和当地小学，与考生的生活比较贴近，在写作时，列举的例子应较为典型，这样阅卷老师很容明白考生文中所描述的内容。同时，考生对这个例子也应很熟悉，能够熟练运用一些有关的词或短语，这样下笔时才会有话可说，从而将相关的背景知识与正确的语言表达有效地结合起来。这些话题与大学生的生活息息相关。这些话题对于考生而言都会有话可说，并且能够提出一定的看法和观点。【请翻页查看】Part 2 Listening Comprehension(25 minutes)本次四级听力难度适中，就听力文本的主题而言，难度略有下降。因为今年这套听力的内容和大学生生活较为贴近，主题以校园，生活类为主，没有难度较大的政治，经济，科技，科普之类的主题，因而，对听力较好的同学而言，应该会感受到比往年题目听到的生词少。但题目设置上的难度并没有降低(没有题目，红色字体为猜测出题点)。由于目前还没有试卷选项，单就原文和出题位置来看，出题位置符合“头尾重点”“逻辑”处等考点，考生在应试时若把握好这这些内容，应能较快反应出对应的答案。Section ANews report 1此篇新闻是关于一个从旧金山游到Alktrask岛屿的9岁男孩，首发于2016年1月美联社的报道。这属于社会新闻，是新闻中听懂难度较低的一种。但这篇新闻存在较多地点专有名词，可能会对考生在听力中造成影响。1. 新闻主旨题。重点听开头前两句。2. 新闻细节题。A 9-year-old central California boy braved strong currents and cold water to swim from San Francisco to Alcatraz Island and back.

And only a few of them bug humans. Most ants live in the woods, or out in nature. There, they keep other creatures in check, distribute seeds, and clean dead and decaying materials from the ground. A very small percentage of ants do harm to humans. But those are incredibly challenging to control. They are small enough to easily slip inside your house. Live in colonies that number in the tens of thousands to the hundreds of thousands, and reproduce quickly. That makes them good at getting in, and hard to kick out. Once they settle in, these insects start affecting your home. In addition to barging ants, other species can cause different kinds of damage. Some, like carpenter ants, can undermine a home structure, while others interfere with the electrical units.Unfortunately, our homes are very attractive to ants, because it provides everything the colony needs to survive, such as food, water, and shelter. So, how can we prevent ants from getting into our homes? Most important of all, avoid giving ants any access to food, particularly sugary food, because ants have a sweet tooth. We also need to clean up spills as soon as they occur, and store food in air-tight containers. Even garbage attracts ants, so empty your trash as often as possible. And store your outside garbage in a lidded can, while away from doors and windows.Questions 1618 are based on the conversation you have just heard.16. What does the passage say about ants?17. What do we learn from the passage about carpenter ants?18.

So the job of the immune system is to fight infections. It also protects us from viruses and from autoimmune diseases. We know that as we get older, it's easier for us to get affections. So older adults have more chances of falling ill. This is evidence that our immune system really doesn't function so well when we age. In most of our work, when we were looking at older adults whove got an illness, we always have to have health controls. So we work very closely with a great group of volunteers called the One Thousand Elders, these volunteers are all 65 or over, but in good health. They come to the university to provide us with blood samples to be interviewed and to help us to carry out a whole range of research. The real impact of our research is going to be on health in old age. At the moment, we are living much longer. Life expectancy is increasing at 2 years for every decade, that means an extra 5 hours a day. I want to make sure that older adults are still able to enjoy their old age, and that they are not spending time in hospital with infection. Felling unwell and being generally weak we want people to be healthy even when they are old.Questions 1921 are based on the passage you have just heard.19.
