恩波08年12月大学英语四级全真模拟答案(四)
Passage Two
The professors of California University agreed in a seminar that, "automobiles have posed a great danger to human health". "Automobiles not only pollute the air and lead to traffic jams, but more importantly, they also make it unnecessary for people to walk, which resulted in an increasing rate of heart diseases,"said Dr. W.H. Peterson, professor of medical science. CNN reported that Dr. W.H. Peterson’s sharp criticism caused a hot debate on the campus of California University. "The debate opened a starting of human retrospection over their industrialized results. Humans had to consider the problem caused by themselves," Dr. Peterson said. "Humans restricted their concern to only the natural disasters and environmental strategies before."

If you are like most people, then it is more likely that you are smarter in spring than in any other season.
Mr. Wilson, a famous scientist, discussed the influence of different climates on the human mind based on research drawn from many kinds of people. Eventually, he concluded that temperature and climate have significant effects on thinking. He decided that warm weather hinders people’s creative thinking, while cold weather facilitates. It does not mean that in summer people think less, however it does mean that people tend to be least creative in summer compared with other seasons. Spring seems to contribute most to people’s thinking. Fall follows, then winter. So it seems reasonable to get a lot of rest in summer.

They choose those who are best at that sport. These teams (38) compete against teams from other schools. In many schools, students learn wrestling, running, tennis, golf and swimming. They have teams for some of these sports, too.
The games between schools are often very (39) exciting. Other students, the ones not on the team, love to watch them. They let everyone know this by shouting and (40) cheering, when their team plays well.
There is a special (41) club, of girls and boys, mostly girls, who jump up and down and shout for their football team. They call themselves (42) cheerleaders, because they lead everyone in shouts and cheers. They wear clothes of a (43) special color-the color of their school’s team. The football players wear that color, too. Each school has a team color and a team name. Cheerleaders call out the team name in their cheers. (44) They practice for many hours to learn the special jumping and cheering moves.Cheerleading is almost a sport itself. Every classroom has an American flag in it. (45)From elementary to high school, students start each day by standing up and showing respect to the flag.They put their hands over their hearts and say "the Pledge of Allegiance". (46) This is a promise to the country, which was written by people who came to the US over 200 years ago.By standing and showing respect to the flag ,people think about the United States and its freedoms.
