PART 1 Dictation
What is a dream for?
One theory is that we dream to release
the deep secret desires. We don't express these desires in real
life because of the rules of polite society. Another theory is that
dreams allow us to solve problems that we can't solve in real life.
We go to sleep with the problem and wake up with the solution. This
maybe a way to use our dreams rather than a purpose of dreaming. If
you believe that your dreams are important, then analyzing them may
help you to focus on the problem and help you to find the solution.
The modern image is that the dreams are the brains' wave of
cleaning up the computer's hard disk. Dreams organize the events of
the day into folders and delete what is not needed. But we all know
that very little of what we dream is concerned with what happened
to us tha
t day.

& VOCABULARY
51. Facing the
board of directors,he didn't
deny __________ breaking the
agreement.
A. him B. it
C. his D. its
解析：本题考查动名词的逻辑主语。动名词可以有自己的逻辑（意义）主语，一般可以用名词所有格Tom„s，代词宾格如him（口语），书面语情况下一般用物主代词his，their。本题选C，但我还是要吐槽，因为根本就不需要多此一举添加his,
he didn't deny breaking the
agreement完全正确，比原题要精简地道许多，从写作角度来看，his根本是多余的，当然纯粹考察语法的话选C。
52. Xinchun
returned from aboard a
different man. The italicized
part functions as a(n) _______.
A. appositive(同位语) B.
object C. adverbial D.
complement.
解析：此题恐怕是最受争议的题目了，有人认为选A，有人认为选D。据目前来看，选D，具体讲解有待更新
53. Which of the
following is a compound word
(复合词)？
A. Nonsmoker B.
Deadline C.Meaness D. Misfit
解析：首先要知道什么是复合词。A compound
is a word that consists
of more
than one free
morpheme。所谓morpheme词素是最小的音义结合体，其最大的特点是不能再被分割为更小的音义结合体。而free
morpheme是指能独立存在使用的词素，bound
morpheme则是必须依附于其他单位的词素，比如前缀后缀属于bound
morpheme，如pre-，-ment，在单词shipment里，ship就是free
morpheme，ment则是bound。因此四个选项里只有deadline是由两个free
morpheme构成（dead+line），其他三个都有Bound
morpheme比如non,ness,mis-等。
54. Which of the
following sentences contains
subjunctive mood?
A. Lucy insisted
that her son get home
before 5 o'clock?
B. She used to
drive to work, but now
she takes the city
metro.
C. Walk straight
ahead, and don't turn till
the second traffic lights.
D. Paul will cancel
his flight if he cannot
get
his visa by Friday.
解析: subjunctive
mood是指虚拟语气，四个选项里只有A的insist属于虚拟语气用法，其中that从句里省略了should。
55.The-following determiners
can be used with both
plural and uncountable nouns
EXCEPT A. more B. enough
C.many D. such
解析：限定词的用法是近几年专四的热门考点，诸如some，many，both，all，each等用法究竟如何还是希望大家多翻阅语法书和词典。这道题看似有点难度，也许你从来不知道哪个限定词可以接名词复数和不可数名词，但好在备选项里每个单词你都可以去接名词试试就知道了，比如more
money,more trees; enough
money, enough trees; many
money?, many trees; such big
trees, such
behavior.所以选C。
56. Which of the
italicized parts indicates
CONTRAST?
A. She opened the
door and quietly went
in.
B. Victoria likes
music and Sam is fond
of sports.
C. Think it over
again and you'll get an
answer.
D. He is somewhat
arrogant, and I don't
like this.
解析：首先要明白and不一定表示并列。A，C里的and表示先后；D里的and表示递进；只有B里的and表示对比。
57. Which of the
following CANNOT be used as
a nominal
substitute(名词替代词)？
A. Much B. Neither C. One
D. Quarter
解析：估计不少学生看到名词替代词这个术语，一开始都吓着了，因为压根没听说过，不过对做这道题目倒无大碍，所谓名词替代词顾名思义就是指能代替名词或名词短语，避免重复的词，英语里one,
ones,(the)same等都是常见的。比如There
are good films as well as
bad ones.除此以外还有the kind,
the sort，比如Slang disappears
quickly, especially the juvenile
sort.还有一些不定代词等比如all,
both, some, any enough, several,
none, many, much, (a)
few, (a) little, the other,
others, another,
either,neither等，比如Can you get
me some nails? I need
some. I don’t want any
more food. I’ve had enough.
本题选D, quarter不是名词替代词。
58. All the
following sentences definitely
indicate future time EXCEPT
A. Mother is to
have tea with Aunt Betty
at four.
B. The President is
coming to the UN next
week,
C. The school
pupils will be home by
now.
D. He is going
to email me the necessary
information.
解析：这道题目有点意思，既考查时态，又考查will的用法，A/B/D都是将来时的各种表达，唯独C的will，看似是将来时标志，其实不然，因为和by
now矛盾，这里will的用法是指you
think something is
true，表说话人自己的看法，比如That will be
Tim coming home now; Ask
anyone and they will tell
you the same thing.
本题选C。
59. Which of the
following sentences is
grammatically INCORRECT? A.
Politics are the art or
science of government.
B. Ten miles seems
like a long walk to
me.
C. Mumps is a
kind of infectious disease.
D. All the
furniture has arrived
undamaged.
解析：本题考查主谓一致（agreement）。ten
miles看作整体单数，mumps腮腺炎这个单词就是以s结尾的，不可数名词；furniture在英语里是不可数名词；A里的politics并不是指政治，而是指政治学(political
science)，是不可数名词，但这个用法主要是英式英语。此外，politics表示政治可以看作不可数名词，也可以看作复数，比如Politics
have
always interested me.
本题选A。
60. Which of in
the following phrases indicates
a subject-predicate relationship?
A. The arrival of the
tourists B. The law of
Newton C.The occupation of
the island D. The plays
of Oscar Wilde
解析：传统语法和现代句法学关于什么是predicate本身就不一样，题目的传统语法predicate指谓语，是对主语动作或状态的陈述或说明，指出“做什么”“是什么”或“怎么样”。其次，说实话，我手上所有图书查不到相关语法点讲解subject-predicate
relationship，谷歌后也没有什么结果，但我知道是选A，游客到来，只是我暂时找不出任何可靠来源来解释。
61. Which of the
following italicized parts
serves as an appositive?
A. He is not the man
to draw back.
B.Tony hit back the
urge to tell a lie.
C. Larry has
a large family to
support.
D. There is really
nothing to fear.
解析：又是同位语？！但是翻遍手上的各类参考书，都没有关于不定式to的同位语用法。四个选项的用法在语法书里并没有做进一步区分，都成为不定式的定语用法，修饰名词。不过还是可以看出不太一样的地方，A中名词和不定式是动宾结构the
man draw
back，C和D都是不定式和名词构成动宾to
fear nothing, to support
family；而唯独B,urge(冲动)的内容就是指to
tell a lie撒谎，故为同位语。
62. Which of the
following is NOT an imperative
sentence?
A. Let me drive
you home, shall I? B.
You will mind your own
business. C. Come and
have dinner with us. D.
I wish you could stay
behind.
解析：花了点时间翻遍手头各类语法和用法图书，除了直接用动词打头，Do/Don't，You/其他唤名+动词,
let类型外，均没有见到D的wish类型。
63. If it _______
tomorrow, the match would be
put off.
A. were to rain
B. was to rain C.
was raining D. had rained
解析：最经典的If条件虚拟句，说的是将来，应该选A.
64. Which of the
following sentences expresses a
fact?
A. Mary and her
son must be home by now.
B. Careless reading
must give poor results.
C. It's getting
late, and I must leave
now.
D. He must be
working late at the
office.
解析：很多人都以为选B，其实应该选C。A，B和D都是推测，当然了C里说的fact其实是指天色不早了。请注意B，不要以为有了must就是fact，情态动词再华丽还是表示情态，说话人的态度观点，B要改为Careless
reading gives poor
results才是fact。
65. The following
are all dynamic
verbs(动态动词) EXCEPT
A. remain B. turn
C. write D. knock
解析：看到专四考这个题目，我只能呵呵。动态动词是指能够延续持续动作的，比如hit，run等，相反的则是stative
verb静态动词，比如know.现在进行时是常见检验手段。你不能说I
am knowing the answer，只能说I
know the
answer，因此know是静态动词。同理，题目的A选项remain也是静态动词，其他都是动态动词。

SECTION A COMPOSITION
The advantages of being careful with
money in daily life
Nowadays, there is a hot debate on
whether people, including students should be careful with their
money in their daily life since they try their best to save money.
Some people think it is not good to do so because this may not make
people smart consumers. But in my eyes, the advantages of being
careful with money in daily life outweigh the disadvantages.
First, being careful with money is a
virtue that can always benefit people. Being thrifty is of
great help, especially when the economic status around the world is
not very good and it becomes harder to earn money than before. A
good habit of being careful with money will help
many people go through this difficult period or any other difficult
financial situation in their life. People with this
awareness will think carefully before deciding to buy anything. For
students, this awareness is also of great help since they mainly
depend on their parents for financial supports.
When they keep this awareness in their mind, they will definitely
avoid wasting money.
Secondly, being careful with money is,
in fact, a good way of practicing how to manage
one's money. In current society, it is
necessary to learn something about finance. But theories are
usually hard to learn. In contrast, most people can learn quickly
by practicing. Being careful with money means an efficient use of
money, which, in essence, equals to part of the job of a financial
planner. Being careful with money can teach people to make best use
of their money.
It is true that being too careful with
money may have some disadvantages; for example, it may cause people
to ignore other aspects of commodities. But overall this behavior
is good and has its reality basis. Money-consciousness is always
needed in the market-oriented economy.
