2012年6月大学英语四级考试真题与答案完整版 Part I Writing 作文
On Excessive Packaging
Nowadays the phenomena of over-packaging of goods are prevailing in our society: clothes swathed in tissue paper, placed in cardboard box and finally wrapped in well-designed plastic bags, imported bottles of wine packed in wooden boxes, fruits put in hand-woven baskets, just to name a few.
There are several reasons of this over-packaging. The first is that a large number
of companies believe that they can attract customers’ attention and stimulate their
purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus gaining more profits. On the
other hand, quite a number of consumers mistakenly hold that the more delicate the
package is, the better the quality will be, thus encouraging excessive packaging. From my perspective, excessive packaging has its consequences, including the loss of precious resources as well as extra workforce on garbage disposal.
To solve the problem, it’s necessary to take the following measures. First, laws and regulations must be made to restrict excessive packaging. In addition, we need to advocate clear packaging and raise consumer’s awareness that excessive packaging doesn’t equal to high quality.

今年的听力短对话从提问方式来看，仍旧沿袭过去惯例，考查了信息细节题、暗示题和推断 题，其中，信息细节题考查最多，例：短对话的 1、5、6、8 均为信息细节题。需要同学在 听的能够较快速的捕捉关键词，并将其组合，从而又快又准确的锁定答案。
从对话内容来看，今年的内容确实同预测的一致：日常化、生活化。短对话在包括了传统的 餐厅、旅游、职业内容的询问以外，还加入了如第 1 题的装修、第 14 题的家庭聚会、第 16 题的购物等更贴近日常生活的话题内容。
总体来说，今年的四级听力难度适中。如果有较好的细节抓取能力，完全能得到满意的分数。

Part III Listening Comprehension Section A
Conversation 1
W：Good evening, and welcome to this week’s business world, the program for and
about business people. Tonight we have Mr. Steven Kayne, who has just taken over
and established bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what made you want to run your own store?
M: Well, I always loved racing bikes and fixing them. When I was working full-time as a salesman for a big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby. I knew then that as soon as I had enough money to get my own business going, I’ll do it. I had my
heart set on it and I didn’t let anything stand in my way. When I went down to the
bank and got a business loan, I knew I’d love being my own boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when I want. W: You mean you don’t keep regular hours?
M: Well, the sign on my store says the hours are ten to six, but if business is slower
than usual, I can just lock up and take off early.
W: Have you hired any employees to work with you yet?
M: Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me
out a few days a week. It’s great because we play cards or just sit around and talk
when there are no customers.
W: Thank you, Mr. Kayne. We wish you success in your new business.
Question 19-22 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 19.What is the woman doing?
20.What did Mr. Kayne do before he took over the bicycle shop? 21.Why did the man take over a bicycle shop?
22.What do we learn about the people working in the shop?
答案： 19. D 20. A 21. B 22. A
点评：第一篇长对话是一期访谈节目，主题是对一位自主创业人士的一次访谈，难度一般， 要拿满分应该不难。主持人问及男士是如何想到要自己创业的，自己的自行车行是否有固定 营业时间，以及是否雇佣了一些员工。男士则顺着主持人的问话，谈及了自己的创业历程， 店里的营业时间与方式等。考生在听的过程中，需要理解这些短语的意思，如 have one’s heart on it，意思是“决心，一定要”，stand in the way，意思是“阻碍，挡道”。一般 四级考生，这些短语在平常的学习中应该是有所积累的，不是难题。
