PART V READING COMPREHENSION [25MIN]
In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements,each with four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.
TEXT A
If you like the idea of staying with with a family,living in house might be the answer.Good landladies---those who are superb cooks and launderers,are figures as popular in fiction as the bad ones who terrorize their guest and overcharge them at the slightest opportunity.The truth is probably somewhere between the two extremes.If you are lucky,the food will be adequate, some of your laundry may be done for you and you will have a reasonable amount of comfort and chompanionship .For the less fortune ,house rules may restrict the freedom to invite friends to vistit,and shared cooking and bathroom facilities can be frustrating and row-provoking if tidy and untidy guest are living under the same roof.
The same disadvantages can apply to flat sharing,with the added difficulties that arise from deciding who pays for what,and in what proportion.One person may spend hours on the phone,while another rarely makes calls. If you want privacy with guest , how do you persuade the others to go out; how do you persuade them to leave you in peace,especially if you are student and want to study?
Conversely,flat sharing can be very cheap,there will always be someone to talk to and go out with,and the chores,in theory,can be shared.
81.According to the passage ,landladies are ________
A.usually strict.
B.always mean.
C.adequately competent.
D.very popular with their guest.
82.What is the additional disadvantage of flat sharing ?
A.Problems of sharing and paying.
B.Differences in living habits.
C.Shared cooking and bathroom facilities.
D.Restriction to invite friends to visit.
83.What is NOT mentioned as a benefit of flat sharing?
A.Rent is affordable
B.There is companionship.
C.Housework.
现在,消费信贷已经变得比以前流行了,人们的消费观念也改变了。有些人喜欢为了今日的方便花费明日的钱财。他们相信提前消费对个人和社会都有好处。在我看来,我同意这个观点。
In the first place, for the individual, spending tomorrow’s money can make one enjoy the products or services that one can not afford at the present. Definitely there are times when one’s purchasing power can not meet one’s current needs of necessities, and anticipating tomorrow’s money can solve this problem. For instance, many families that can not pay cash for major items such as houses, cars, furniture and appliances are able to purchase them without cash on the installment plan.
第一,对于个人来说,花明日之财能够让人享受当前无法消费的产品和服务。能肯定的是,人有时候当前的购买力无法满足当前需求的必需品,那么超前消费就能解决这个问题。例如,许多家庭无法用现金购买大件物品,例如房子,车子,家具和电器,那么他们能够用分期付款的形式来购买。
In the second place, something unexpected may happened any time. For normal families, once family member are terribly ill, which needs a barrel of money. The consumer credit could play an important role in this situation, it could save lives.
第二,天有不测之风云。对于普通家庭来说,一旦家庭成员得了重病,需要一大笔钱,消费信贷在这时就扮演了一个重要的角色,它能救人一命。
To addition, spending tomorrow’s money contributes to the progress of our society. Overspending, which means a satisfied large demand for the consumer products, can help shape a better production structure, drive forward our economy and invigorate the whole society eventually.
再者,花明日之财对社会的发展也有贡献。过度花费意味着满足消费者的需求很大,能够塑造一个更好的生产结构,推动我们的经济,最终振兴整个社会。
In a word, using tomorrow’s money is a better way to make the individuals as well as the society goes round.
总而言之,花明日之财是推动个人和社会的好途径。
专四作文范文:做自由职业者还是帮老板打工?
2016专四改革已尘埃落定,专四作文取消了原有的小作文(便条),大作文以材料作文为主题,约200词。新东方在线英语专四频道整理了2016专四作文范文供专四考生们参考引用。
Nowadays more and more people choose to work freelance instead of work for somebody else. It is a shame to work freelance in the old days, people would said that the one who are self-employed is a lazy man, and this kind of job is not security, they fear of instability. However, the conception is changed, work freelance has been widely accepted by public, me included.
现在越来也多的人选择做自由职业者而不是为某人工作了。在以前自由职业者是令人羞耻的,人们会说这种人很懒,还有这种工作没保障,他们害怕不稳定。然而,现在观念改变了,自由职业者已经被广泛地接受了,包括我。
In the first place, one of the biggest advantages of work freelance is that you are the master of your time. Once you are self-employed, you are able to manage your time by your own wish. You do not have to get up very early in the morning, especially in a cold winter morning, and take a crowded bus in case you will not late for work, which links directly to your salary. For me, I would love to stay home in my pajamas rather than fight through traffic so I can sit in a cubicle all day.
第一,自由职业的最大优势就是你是你时间的主人。一旦你当了自己的老板,你就可以按照自己的意愿去管理你的时间。你不必每天早上早早起床,尤其是在寒冷的冬天早晨,又去挤公车,省的自己迟到,这直接关系到你的工资。就我来说,我宁愿穿着睡衣在家里也不要艰辛地挤公车然后在办公室的小格子里闷一天。
In the second place, work freelance is a wonderful gift for an introvert. As you can see, if you are working outside, you can not avoid to working with others. It might be hard to deal with different people in the office. There is one more thing that you can not avoid, which is your social duties, drinking and eating. You can’t say no to this, or you will said bye to your job. As we know, too much food or wine is not good for our body, but as long as the cline feels happy, no one will care too much of their body.
第二,自由职业是给内向的人一份美好的礼物。就像你所见到的,如果你在外面工作,你无法避免和其他人打交道。在办公室和不同的人相处会很难。还有一件事你也无法避免,那就是交际应酬,喝酒吃饭。你不能对这个说不,不然你就对你的工作说拜拜吧。像我们所知道的,过量饮食喝酒对我们的身体不好,但是只要客户觉得高兴,谁管得了那么多身体呢。
To sum up, each type of work style has its own advantages and disadvantages, it is your choice. I think working should be a happy thing, if it isn’t, your life will be a sadly hell.
总而言之,每种工作方式都有自己的优势和劣势,这是你的选择。我认为工作应当是件快乐的事情,如果不是,那么你的生活就会变成一个可悲的地狱。

其次,对手机的依赖表示人们的人际关系很紧张。一天不玩手机就像在这个世界里迷路了一样。每天,人们都会看看自己的手机是否收到了短信或者用它来上网,但是手机真的影响到了人们的正常生活。
There is no denying that cell phones have brought us considerable convenient. However, we should be aware of the negative effects that cell phones have brought to us. Just put down your cell phone for a while, and you will find that without your phone life can still be wonderful, too.
