174 Model Test 2
Key to Model Test (2) Band Four Part I. Writing Sample Writing: June 18, 2002 Dear Wang Hui,
I am sorry that it has taken me so long to reply to your last letter. As you know, July is the test season, and these days I’m almost up to my ears in preparation for final
exams. But after that will come summer vacation. I’ve already made elaborate plans for
the coming vacation.
First of all, I’d like to travel back home and have a good rest. After such along term of study, I am a little tired. I plan to stay home for about half month, and take
the opportunity to visit our high school teachers and friends. Then I will come back
to school for a one-month remedy class. Through these years I have been given too
much weight to written English, but only to find myself quite weak in oral communication.
So I’ve signed up for an oral English training course to improve my spoken English.
What is your plan for summer vacation? You mentioned in your last letter that you would make a trip to Beijing during the summer vacation. Have you made up your mind?
Looking forward to your reply. Yours, Li Ming

and D. Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet 2. Passage One
Old Age’s Problems and Opportunities
Old age in the United States presents many problems and opportunities. As a result
of improved medical services, people live longer than they used to. This increase in
longevity creates a wide range of social needs. The medical specialty of gerontology (老
年医学) has opened up new research areas and careers related to the elderly. Because of changes in the family structure from extended to nuclear, the elderly
have to create existences apart from basical small family units. This situation is complicated
by the fact that many of their friends may have died and their children may have
moved away.
The elderly must set up a new life. Often, the elderly must rely on a fixed income —
Social Security and Pensions — and gradually diminished savings. While some live with
their children, many more live by themselves, with a friend or in a nursing home.
However, the increasing proportion of elderly people in society has given them a new political power. They have formed organizations to voice their own needs and
concerns to local state and federal agencies. Lobbying (游说) for such issues as increased
Social Security benefits, better health care, income tax benefits and rent controls has
brought to the public an increased awareness of the determination of the elderly to assert
their ability to deal effectively with their own lives.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.

A few months ago I got a letter from my ex-girlfriend, telling me that she was pregnant, and that I was the father! I was worried.
I was scared to death! I didn’t know what to do, and finally decided to tell my parents.
I didn’t know how to tell them, I was just so ashamed. I ended up just giving them
the letter with tears in my eyes. They didn’t take it well.
To make things worse, they took me to my grandparents’ house, where they all
had a long talk about my situation. It was hell! My grandparents are very old-fashioned
and, as you can imagine, they didn’t take it well either. I needed to get out of that house
and get some fresh air!
I ran to my best friend’s house and told him about the letter. My friend has a pretty sick sense of humor and he seemed to think it was pretty funny to see me embarrassed
like this. The more upset I got at him for laughing at my problems, the more he laughed.
Finally it dawned on me! HE had written that letter, not my ex-girlfriend! It was his idea of a funny trick! I was so annoyed at him, I could have killed him! Literally!
I ran back home and told my parents that the letter wasn’t real and it had just been
my friend’s idea of a joke. I don’t know which talk was worse. Telling them I was the father
of my ex-girlfriend’s baby, or telling them that it was all a mistake. That’s something
I would have rather kept to myself!!!
Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard. 30. What happened to the man according to the letter he got? 31. What did he feel when receiving the letter?

A beautiful girl and a lawyer were seated next to each other on a flight from Los

凯 子 整 理
我 们 这 一 班 荣 誉 出 品
game with him.
The girl, tired, just wanted to take a nap. She politely declined and rolled over to
the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persisted and explained that the game was
easy and a lot of fun. He explained, “I’ll ask you a question, and if you don’t know the
answer, you pay me $5, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $500.” This caught the girl’s attention and as she figured there would be no end to this
annoyance unless she played, she agreed to the game.
The lawyer asked the first question. “What’s the distance from the earth to the
moon?” Without saying a word, the girl reached into her purse, pulled out a $5 bill and
handed it to the lawyer. “Ok,” said the lawyer, “your turn.” She asked the lawyer, “What goes up a hill with
three legs and comes down with four legs?” 182 Model Test 2
The lawyer, puzzled, took out his laptop computer and searched all through his computer and searched all his references, and found no answer. He searched the Internet
and the Library of Congress, still no answer. Frustrated, he sent e-mails to all his
friends and co-workers, to no avail. After an hour, he woke up the girl, and handed her
$500. “Thank you,” the girl said and turned back to get some more sleep. The lawyer, who was a bit angry, woke her up again and asked, “well, what’s the
answer?”
Without a word, the girl reached into her purse, handed the lawyer $5,and went back to sleep.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 33. What was the game the lawyer suggested?
34. Which of the following is NOT TRUE when the lawyer tries to find the answer

Public opinion polls are (36) regularly conducted and published in many countries.
They (37) measure not only support for political parties but also public opinion on
a wide range of social and political issues. They are (38) frequently published in major
newspapers and are generally accepted as useful tools by businesses, political organizations,
the (39) mass media and government, and (40) academic research groups. Hundreds
of public polling firms operate around the world.
In business, polls are used to test consumers’ (41) preferences and to discover what

in planning marketing and (43) advertising strategies and in making changes in a product
to increase its sales.
In politics, (44) polls are used to obtain information about voters’ attitudes toward
issues and candidates, (45) to put forward candidates with winning potential, and to plan
campaigns. Polling organizations have also been successful in predicting the outcome (结

the probable winner even before the voting booths close.__
