【范文】
Along with the development of society, more and more problems are brought to our attention, one of the most serious problems is the school health system. More students are suffering from mental illness which appeals to the reflection on school clinic.
A number of factors might contribute to the phenomenon. One of the most common factor is the insufficient attention paid to mental health problem. A considerable number of emphasis usually focus on disease prevention and contagion, which are heavily weighted in favor of physical illness; however, mental problems are overlooked regarding the more obvious physical sickness. Another contributing cause is the reduced budgets and shortages of physicians and nurses distributed to the school health system. A close examination reveals that nurses in school clinics reportedly performed a narrow range of services than in public clinics. Thus, students’ health cannot be fully taken care of, and professional medical resources cannot be well-matched.
In view of the seriousness of the problem abovementioned, effective measures should be taken. First and foremost, the government should move more public budgets to school clinics. What’s more, people should value and pay prompt attention to teenagers’ mental problems. After all, it is necessary to create a healthy and harmonious environment for the young generations.

Along with the development of society, more and more problems are brought to our attention, one of the most serious problems is the school libraries. More students are complaining about the understaffing and inadequate resources of service.
A number of factors might contribute to the phenomenon. One of the most common factor is the inflexible physical library space to change with the needs of students and staff. It is also too small to cope with rising student numbers. Another contributing cause is the reduced budgets and shortages of staff distributed to the school libraries. A close examination reveals that librarians reportedly performed a narrow range of services to offer new programs and initiatives.

Once upon a time, a farmer was plowing his field when he suddenly saw a rabbit darting past and crashing into a large tree and dying. The farmer had no trouble eating the rabbit and was overjoyed. He thought, "How wonderful it would be if it were always like this!" So he stopped plowing and waited by the tree every day, waiting for another rabbit to be picked up from the tree. He waited and waited, day after day. The field was deserted, but he never got a second rabbit. Therefore, people laughed at him for taking the chance for granted.

Once upon a time, a farmer thought his seedlings were growing slowly, so he went to the field and pulled them up a bit. When he got home, he said to his family, "I've had a long day! But I finally got the saplings to grow taller all at once." His son walked out into the field and saw that the saplings had all died.
Today, some parents are so anxious for their children to succeed that they often follow in the footsteps of that farmer, making their children suffer, but not seeing them grow academically. Should they not wake up to this problem and let their children grow up naturally？

Once upon a time, there was a man who had a flock of sheep. One morning he was about to go out to herd the sheep when he noticed that one was missing. He looked closely and saw a hole in the sheepfold. Apparently, a wolf had gotten into the sheepfold during the night and taken the sheep.
The neighbour advised him to fix the sheepfold, but he didn't listen.
The next day, he found that the wolf had taken another sheep through the hole. Remembering his neighbour's words, he quickly closed the hole and repaired the sheepfold. After that, his sheep were never taken by wolves again.
The story tells us that remedying problems in time can prevent further losses.

M: Hi, Jennifer. I'm really struggling with this semester's workload. Do you have any advice?
W: (12) Have you considered making a study guide? It's a tool you can make yourself to take the stress out of studying. I've been using one since the start of last semester, and it has really helped relieve a lot of study.
M: Sounds like just what I need. (13) My main problem is that my study folder is full of notes and worksheets and is badly disorganized, I don't know where to start.
W: Okay. Well, the main thing is to have everything in the right place, whatever you are reviewing, it's important that it's arranged for your particular needs of that subject, and in the most user friendly way you can, what kind of learner are you?
M: Hmm, I'm not sure.
W: Well, visual learners prefer using images, pictures, colors, and maps to organize information; logical learners, have a linear mind and would rather use logic, reasoning and systems. (14) I'm an emotional learner, which means I need to connect to information emotionally to understand it.
M: oh. I'm very much dependent on vision as a way of taking in information.
W: Well, (15) I suggest re-organizing your notes using color-coded sections in your study guides or using idea mapping to lay out the information and make it more quickly accessable.
M: So you think I should arrange my notes using color and pictures in place of text?

Passage 1
(16) The golden rule is a moral principle, which states that you should treat others the way you want to be treated yourself. For example, if you want people to treat you with respect, you should treat them with respect. Different people tend to be exposed to different forms of the golden rule. Based on factors, such as the religion in their society.
However, all forms of the golden rule revolve around the same concept. Normally they help you treat others better by using the way you yourself would want to be treated as a guide of how to behave. (17) A notable criticism of the golden rule is that its application can lead to undesirable outcomes, when it conflicts with laws and ethical principles.
For example, if someone breaks the law, the golden rule would suggest that we should let them go because we would not want to be punished ourselves. However, this issue with the golden rule can be dealt with in a general manner. By viewing this principle as one of several principles that we use to guide our behavior as individuals and as a society. Specifically, in the example described above, most individuals and societies choose to place laws and ethical principles above the golden rule.

Passage 2
Today, many large corporations stress the importance of diversity on their websites. (19) But current statistics show that the typical manager in America still tends to be white and male. Obviously, the desire to bring about diversity has not translated into corporate reality. Why is this? (20) A team of researchers from the university of Basel published their new study about people's attitudes towards diversity at work, they found that people have a wide range of opinions concerning diversity.
On the one hand, many see value in diversity, which can contribute a variety of perspectives, encourage new ideas and generate innovative solutions. On the other hand, they assume that it might be difficult to work with someone who has completely different views, speaks a different language, or has a different style of work. The actual value they attribute to diversity depends on the decision making perspective, doubts about the practicability of diversity have a greater weight if a person is directly affected. （21）In other words, when a person's own work group is involved, they tend to prefer team members who are similar to themselves.
But when people make decisions for others, they typically put together a more diverse team. These findings could help organizations become more diverse. Companies need to pay attention to who makes hiring and team decisions. (21) These decisions should not only be made by those directly affected. People who are not directly involved in the group's daily work should also take part.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Q19. What do we learn from the current statistics about diversity in large corporations?
Q20.What is the newly published study focused on?
一般情況下，考完四級(jí)，下午可以出來(lái)答案。成績(jī)單于考試結(jié)束之日起90個(gè)工作日后發(fā)放給考點(diǎn)(即各院校)。各個(gè)地區(qū)的領(lǐng)取時(shí)間略有不同，具體由考生所在學(xué)校教務(wù)處負(fù)責(zé)，可直接向教務(wù)處咨詢(xún)。一般最快是成績(jī)查詢(xún)開(kāi)始后兩個(gè)月。
Q21.What do the findings of the new study show?
KEYS:
19) C. They have not seen as much diversity as dedired.
20) B. People's attitudes towards diversity at the workplace.
21) D. People prefer to work with team members similar to themselves.
Passage 3
Communication can essentially be divided into two categories, the written and the spoken. How the balance is struck between these two forms of communication? The point at which one needs to be exchanged for another learning depends on individual cultures. (22) Understanding when it's appropriate to exchange one form for another can be a major key to success in international business.
Many cultures place a much greater value on the spoken word than the American working culture does. (23) In parts of the middle east, you'll find spoken word agreements are seen as seriously binding. A person's word is linked to their honor.So verbal agreements are seen as important. Whereas written contracts are taken as memos of understanding.
(24) Western working culture tends to place a high value on the written word, and this reaches its highest level of intensity when it comes to contracts.
