  Passage One

  Sugar is so much a part of our modern life that we only really think about it when,for some reason,we cannot obtain it.

  It has been known to man for at least 3,000 years,but has come into common use only in modern times.

  Until quite recently it was considered as a medicine and as a luxury for the very rich only.

  Sugar is,then,very important to our civilization.

  But what exactly is it?

  Of course most of us recognize sugar immediataly as the sweet material which we put in coffee or cakes.

  This common form of sugar is derived from two plants;the sugar cane and the sugar beet.

  But there are in fact many types of sugar,and the chemist recognises hundreds of different varieties,each coming from a different source.

  About 90% of the sugar is produced as food.

  Only 10% is used in industry for purposes other than food production.

  Yet sugar has great possibilities for use as the basis of chemicals.

  It can even be used for making plastics.

  In the future these potential uses will certainly be developed more than in the past.

  Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.

  11.How long has sugar been used widely?

  12.What material is mentioned that can be made from sugar?

  13.Which of the following statements is true?

  为了帮助大家更好的突破四六级听力考试,根据历年命题特点和命题趋势,整理了以下预测试题:

  Passage Two

  Last week when I was watching TV news,the announcer,whose name was Ralph Story.

  said something that caught my attention.

  All great discoveries,he said,are made by people between the ages of twenty_five and thirty.

  Being a little over thirty myself I wanted to disagree with him.

  The next day I spent several hours in the public library looking up ages of famous people and their discoveries.

  Ralph was right.

  Galileo discovered by the famous experiment that bodies of different weights fall at the same speed when he was 26.

  Madame Curie started her research that led to a Nobel Prize when she was 28.

  Einstein was 26 when he published his world_changing theory of relativity.

  Well,enough of that.Yet I wondered if thosebest yearswere true in other fields.

  Then how about the field of politics?

  Winston churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26.

  Abraham Lincoln gave up the life of a country lawyer and was elected to the government at what age?Twenty_six!

  But why dont best years come after thirty?

  After thirty,I guess,most people do not want to take risks or try new ways.

  Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso.

  The former was writing wonderful works at the age of fifty,while the latter was still trying new ways of paining when he was ninety!

  Perhaps there is still hope for me.

  Questions 14 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.

  14.What did the speaker do to prove Ralph was wrong?

  15.How did the speaker feel after his research?

  16.How did the speaker probably feel in the end?

  17.What can be concluded from the passage?

  Passage Three

  People live with noises all their lives.

  A place may seem quiet at first,but sound soon come through.

  During a quiet night at home,you may hear the noise of a refrigerator motor or the heating system.

  Natures noises usually bother us less than peoples noises.

  Even in a natural quiet spot one hears birds or animal noises or perhaps the wind.

  Weather is sometimes very noisy.Noise is everywhere.

  Noise can travel a long distance.

  If you live near a free way,you know that mad noise of vehicles can travel from eight to ten miles.

  Ways in which people can escape unwanted noise include soundproofing,substitution and selective listening.

  Curtains,for example,can soften noises in a home.

  Music can cover up less attractive noises by substituting one sound for another.

  Selective listening can provide escape from noise.

  When a person does something attentively,the sound seems to disappear.

  A train that passes on a regular schedule may hardly be noticed after its first noisy journey.

  It is fortunate that people have ways to reduce the effects of noise although noise will probably not decrease.

  Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.

  18.Which of the following statements is true?

  19.Which of the following is not a way to escape unwanted noise?

  20.What is the passage mainly talking about?
