大学英语四级-46 (总分：100.00，做题时间：90 分钟) 一、Listening Comprehension(总题数：0，分数：0.00) 二、Section A(总题数：3，分数：28.00) Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item. Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item. （分数：8.00） Suggestions for the global village. The increased melting of icecap in North Pole. √ The explorers exploring into the Arctic. The scientific research in Cambridge University. 解析：[听力原文] Research into the icecap of North Pole has found that it is melting so quickly that the Arctic Ocean could lose most of its ice during summer time in as little as ten years. Scientists of Cambridge University say recent exploration to the Arctic led by explorer Pen Hadow found ice was much thinner than expected and less dense, subject to rapid melting. Mr. Hadow said the finding should act as a wake-up call. The long-term view for the global community, this is definitely not good news. But if we can see this for what it is which is the biggest visual cue that we are going to get to manage our relationship with the planet better, then that is a good thing. What is this news item mainly about? [解析] 主旨大意题。新闻中报道：北极积冰的融化速度太快(it is melting so quickly)导致北冰洋冰雪将在 10 个夏天之后基本融掉。剑桥大学的科学家们说最近的北极探险发现冰块比想象中的更薄、更稀了。可见新闻主要是说北极冰雪的快速融化。B 项中的 The increased melting 是对原文的同义改写，故答案是 B 项。A 项“建设地球村的建议”在新闻中没有提到。虽然剑桥大学的科学家们说最近的北极探险发现冰块比想象中的更薄了，但这是为了引出北极积冰融化加快这一主题，C 项“探险队员到北极探险”和D 项“剑桥大学的科学研究”都不是新闻的主要内容。 People maintain the harmony between the human and the earth. √ People in the global village do something to stop ice from melting. The researchers in Cambridge University do more researches. There is more and more concern and attention on global community. 解析：[听力原文] How can the bad news become a good one? [解析] 新闻中指出，从长远来看，对于地球来说这绝对不是个好消息。但是，如果我们能把这件事看成对我们最重要的提示：设法更好地处理人类和地球关系的话(get to manage our relationship with the planet better)，那将是一件好事。故正确答案是A 项。B 项“地球人采取某些行动阻止积冰消融”、C 项“剑桥大学的研究人员做更多研究”和 D 项“地球村得到越来越多的关注”均没有在新闻中提到。Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.
