【正文】 2013年12月大學(xué)英語四級考試真題（第1套）（答案）Part ⅠWritingThe Impact of the Internet on LearningInternet has exerted great influence on learning, so much so that an increasing number of individuals contented that acquiring information means education. However, as the picture warns us, education involves much more than simply learning to obtain information.From my perspective, education involves critical thinking and practical skills rather than a mere accumulation of information. On the one hand, critical thinking is essential to scientific progress, contributing to innovation and technical advancement, just as Confucius put it, “l(fā)earning without thinking leads to confusion”. On the other hand, it is crucial to apply what you have learned into practice and that’s the very reason why outstanding scientists acplish great achievements in their profession.In a word, the Internet does provide valuable information for learners, but people should be fully aware of the essence of education and attach importance to cultivating the ability of independent thinking instead of just relying on the Internet. Thus, only by emphasizing innovation can education be pletely fulfilled in practice.Part ⅡListening Comprehension15 DBACB 610 CADBA 1115 CBDDC 1620 ABDBC 2125 ACDBA26. apart and alone 27. instead of 28. similar 29. custom 30. controlled 31. define 32. exist 33. departures 34. startled 35. cheeksPart ⅢReading Comprehension3640 OEKAJ 4145 GMCLN 4650 EAICJ 5155 HAGEF5660 ADBCB 6165 BDCCDPart Ⅳ TranslationMany people are fond of Chinese cuisine. In China, cooking is regarded not only as a craftsman, but also an art. A wellprepared Chinese cuisine is both tasty and goodlooking. Cooking skills and dish ingredients vary a lot in different regions of China. However, good Chinese cuisines always share something in mon, that is, the color, aroma, taste and nutrition. As food is vital for one’s health, a good chef is always trying to strike a balance among grains, meat and vegetables. That’s why Chinese cuisine is tasty and healthy. 。但好的烹飪都有一個共同點，總是要考慮到顏色、味道、口感和營養(yǎng)(nutrition)。精心準(zhǔn)備的中餐既可口又好看。 some make more than $1,000. Renters, meanwhile, pay less than they would if they bought the item themselves, or turned to a traditional provider such as a hotel or carhire firm. And there are environmental benefits, too: renting a car when you need it, rather than owning one, means fewer cars are required and fewer resources must be devoted to making them.F) For sociable souls, meeting new people by staying in their homes is part of the charm. Curmudgeons (倔脾氣的人) who imagine that every renter is a murderer can still stay at conventional hotels. For others, the web fosters trust. As well as the background checks carried out by platform owners, online reviews and ratings are usually posted by both parties to each transaction, which makes it easy to spot bad drivers, bathrobethieves and surfboardwreckers. By using Facebook and other social networks, participants can check each other out and identify friends (or friends of friends) in mon. An Airbnb user had her apartment trashed in 2011. But the remarkable thing is how well the system usually works.Peering into the futureG) The sharing economy is a little like online shopping, which started in America 15 years ago. At first, people were worried about security. But having made a successful purchase from, say, Amazon, they felt safe buying elsewhere. Similarly, using Airbnb or a carhire service for the first time encourages people to try other offerings. Next, consider eBay. Having started out as a peertopeer marketplace, it is now dominated by professional “power sellers” (many of whom started out as ordinary eBay users). The same may happen with the sharing economy, which also provides new opportunities for enterprise. Some people have bought cars solely to rent them out, for example.H) Existing rental businesses are getting involved too. Avis, a carhire firm, has a share in a sharing rival. So do GM and Daimler, two carmakers. In future, panies may develop hybrid (混合的) models, listing excess capacity (whether vehicles, equipment or office space) on peertopeer rental sites. In the past, new ways of doing things online have not displaced the old ways entirely. But they have often changed them. Just as internet shopping forced Walmart and Tesco to adapt, so online sharing will shake up transport, tourism, equipmenthire and more.I) The main worry is regulatory uncertainty. Will roomrenters be subject to hotel taxes, for example? In Amsterdam officials are using Airbnb listings to track down unlicensed hotels. In some American cities, peertopeer taxi services have been banned after lobbying by traditional taxi firms. The danger is that although some rules need to be updated to protect consumers from harm, existing rental businesses will try to destroy petition. People who rent out rooms should pay tax, of course, but they should not be regulated like a RitzCarlton hotel. The lighter rules that typically govern bedandbreakfasts are more than adequate.J) The sharing economy is the latest example of the internet’s value to consumers. This emerging model is now big and disruptive (顛覆性的) enough for regulators and panies to have woken up to it. That is a sign of its immense potential. It is time to start caring about sharing.46. Sharing items such as
