丛书总序
大学英语考试是一项大规模标准化考试，是一个“标准关联的常模参照测验”。大学英语四、六级考试作为一项全国性的教学考试，由国家教育部高教司主办，分为四级考试（CET-4）和六级考试（CET-6），每年各举行两次。从2005年1月起，成绩满分为710分，凡考试成绩在220分以上的考生，由国家教育部高教司委托全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会发给成绩单。大学英语考试已经得到社会的承认，每年参考人数超过1100万人次，是全球参考人数最多的单次考试，目前已经成为各级人事部门录用大学毕业生的标准之一，产生了一定的社会效益。
根据对考试改革进程的要求，2007年1月起全面实施改革后的四级考试，同年6月全面实施改革后的六级考试。
在考试内容和形式上，四、六级考试加大了听力理解部分的题量和比例，增加了快速阅读理解测试，增加了非选择性试题的比例。
在试卷构成上，对四、六级考试进行的改革主要体现在以下几个方面：
1. 听力理解部分的分值比例从原来的20%提高至35%，增加了长对话听力理解测试，复合式听写由原来的备选题型改为必考题型；
2. 阅读理解部分增加了快速阅读技能测试；
3. 词汇和语法知识不再单独列为考项，而融入了其他各部分试题中进行考核；
4. 增加了句子层面的汉译英测试；
5. 增加了构建型试题的比例，减少了多项选择题的比例。

Global Warming
Global warming is a significant increase in the Earth’s climatic temperature over a relatively short period of time as a result of the activities of humans. In specific terms，an increase of one or more Celsius degrees in a period of one hundred to two hundred years would be considered global warming.
The Greenhouse Effect
Global warming is caused by an increase in the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is not a bad thing by itself-it’s what allows the Earth to stay warm enough for life to survive.
When the Sun’s rays hit the Earth’s atmosphere and the surface of the Earth，approximately 70 percent of the energy stays on the planet. The other 30 percent is reflected into space by clouds，snow fields and other reflective surfaces. But even the 70 percent that gets through doesn’t stay on the Earth forever（otherwise the Earth would become a blazing fireball）. The things around the planet that absorb the sun’s heat eventually radiate that heat back out.
The heat that doesn’t make it out through the Earth’s atmosphere keeps the planet warmer than it is in outer space，because more energy is coming in through the atmosphere than is going out. This is all part of the greenhouse effect that keeps the Earth warm.
Greenhouse Gases
The greenhouse effect happens because of certain naturally occurring substances in the atmosphere. Unfortunately，since the Industrial Revolution，humans have been pouring huge amounts of those substances into the air，thus leading to high level of greenhouse effect.
Carbon dioxide（CO）is a colorless gas that is a by-product of 2the burning of organic matter. It makes up only less than 0.04 percent of the Earth’s atmosphere. Today，human activities are pumping huge amounts of CO into the atmosphere，resulting in an overall 2increase in CO concentrations. These increased concentrations are 2considered the primary factor in global warming，because carbon dioxide absorbs infrared radiation（红外线）. Most of the energy that escapes the Earth’s atmosphere comes in this form，so extra CO 2means more energy absorption and an overall increase in the planet’s temperature.
Nitrous oxide（NO）is another important greenhouse gas. Although the amounts being released by human activities are not as great as the amounts of CO，nitrous oxide absorbs about 270 times 2more energy than CO. For this reason，efforts to reduce greenhouse 2gas emissions have focused on NO as well. The use of large amounts of nitrogen fertilizer on crops releases nitrous oxide in great quantities，and it is also a by-product of burning.
Methane is a combustible（易燃的）gas，and it is the main component of natural gas. It acts much like CO in the atmosphere，2absorbing infrared energy and keeping heat energy on Earth.
Global Warming’s Effect on Sea Levels
We have seen that an average drop of just 5 degrees Celsius over thousands of years can cause an ice age； so what will happen if the Earth’s average temperature increases a few degrees in just a few hundred years？
Glaciers（冰河）and ice shelves around the world could begin to melt. In fact，this is already happening. The loss of large areas of ice on the surface could accelerate global warming because less of the Sun’s energy would be reflected away from the Earth.
An immediate result of melting glaciers would be a rise in sea levels. Sea levels would also rise because ocean waters would grow warmer，causing the water to expand. Even a modest rise in sea levels could cause flooding problems for low-lying coastal areas.
With a rise in the overall temperature of the ocean，ocean-borne storms such as tropical storms and hurricanes，which get their fierce and destructive energy from the warm waters they pass over，would increase in number and force.
Global Warming’s Effects on Seasons and Ecosystems
Less sharp season changes would occur around the world as average temperatures increased. In temperate areas with four seasons，the growing season would be longer. This could be beneficial in many ways for these areas. However，less temperate parts of the world would likely see an increase in temperature and a sharp decrease，causing long droughts and potentially creating deserts.
The most destructive effects，and also the hardest to predict，would be the effects on the world’s living ecosystems. Many ecosystems are very delicate，and the slightest change can kill off several species as well as any other species that depend on them. Most ecosystems are interconnected，so the chain reaction of effects could be immeasurable. The results could be something like a forest gradually dying off and turning to grassland. Many species of plants and animals would adapt or move to deal with the shift in climate，but many would become extinct.
The human cost of global warming is hard to quantify. Thousands of lives per year could be lost as the elderly or ill suffer from heat stroke and other heat-related injuries. Poor people and underdeveloped nations would suffer the worst effects，since they would not have the financial resources to deal with the problems that come with an increase in temperature.
Can We Stop Global Warming？
There are a few things we can do to try to halt global warming. Basically，they all boil down to this： Don’t use as much of the stuff that creates greenhouse gases.
Walk or ride a bike when you can. Driving your car generates more greenhouse gases than almost anything else you do.
Turn lights and other appliances off when you’re not using them. Even though a light bulb doesn’t generate greenhouse gas，the power plant that generates the electricity used by the light bulb probably does.
Plant trees and other plant life where you can. Plants take carbon dioxide out of the air and release oxygen.
To really stem the emission of greenhouse gases，we need to develop non-fossil fuel energy sources. Hydro-electric power，solar power，hydrogen engines and fuel cells could all create big cuts in greenhouse gases if they were to become more common.
At the international level，the Kyoto Treaty was written to reduce CO and other greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Thirty-five 2industrialized nations have committed to reducing their output of those gases to varying degrees. Unfortunately，the United States，the world’s primary producer of greenhouse gases，did not sign the treaty.
1. An increase of 2 Celsius degrees in 150 years may be regarded as global warming.
2. The atmosphere in outer space is much warmer than the Earth’s because it receives more energy from the Sun.
3. Industrial Revolution has brought more good than harm to the Earth.
4. Both carbon dioxide and methane are by-products of the burning of organic matter.
5. Melting glaciers is only one of the reasons for the rise in sea levels.
6. Global warming will be favorable in many ways for the less temperate areas in the world.
7. Global warming may destroy the balance of ecosystems and make some species disappear from the world.
8. One way to stop global warming is not to use materials that may produce _______________.
9. It is not the lights and other appliances that bring greenhouse gas，but the _______________.
10. In order to control the greenhouse gas emission，35 developed countries signed the _______________.

Section A
Directions： In this section，there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.
Binoculars（双筒望远镜）are not only used for wildlife observation，but are essential in certain sports，particularly in hunting. A hunter can climb in a tree and observe the woods and fields from afar，while a quality set of binoculars helps to spot wildlife with ease. Since the binoculars are being used outdoors，it is sensible to 47 a waterproof set： hunters will often find themselves out in the snow during hunting season. While the snow makes for 48 tracking of wildlife，if the binoculars fall into the snow，the 49 to moisture can result in significant damage.
Binoculars range in cost 50 from $50 to $1，000 depending upon the binoculars’ features. Roof prism（屋脊棱镜）binoculars are of extreme quality and are 51 for hunting or other outdoor ventures. While they tend to cost more than other brands of binoculars，they provide a hunter a crystal clear viewing field. A magnification of 10×50 is 52 if the binoculars are being used for hunting，while in the ease of bird watching，a lower magnification may meet the need.
Hunters will also consider the field of view offered by the binoculars they decide to buy： the field of view will 53 how much of the actual landscape is visible. Finally，hunters that wear eyeglasses will need to take such a fact into 54 when buying binoculars：the type of binoculars purchased can 55 how well the hunter can see objects through the viewing 56 .
A）determine F）persuaded K）distinguished
B）specifically G）consideration L）purchase
C）ideal H）exposure M）influence
D）appliance I）roughly N）instrument
E）fantastic J）affect O）recommended
Section B
Directions： There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A），B），C）and D）. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
“Humans should not try to avoid stress any more than they would shun food，love or exercise. ” said Dr. Hans Selye，the first physician to document the effects of stress on the body. While there’s no question that continuous stress is harmful，several studies suggest that challenging situations in which you’re able to rise to the occasion can be good for you.
In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses，those who faced considerable work demands but coped with the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health than those who felt they couldn’t get the job done.
