Trust is fundamental to life.If you can't trust anything,life becomes intolerable.You can't haverelationships without trust,let alone good ones.

In the workplace,too,trust is 26.An organization without trust will be full of fear and 27.Ifyou work for a boss who doesn't trust their employees to do things right,you'll have a 28 time.They'llbe checking up on you all the time,correcting "mistakes"and 29 reminding you to do this or that.

Colleagues who don't trust one another will need to spend more time 30 their backs than doing anyuseful work.

Organizations are always trying to cut costs.Think of all the additional tasks caused by lack of trust.

Audit (departments only exist because of it.Companies keep large volumes of 31 because theydon't trust their suppliers,their contractors or their customers.Probably more than half of all administrativework is only there because of an ever-existing sense that "you can't trust anyone these days."If even a smallpart of such valueless work could be 32,the savings would run into millions of dollars.

All this is extra work we 33 onto ourselves because we don't trust people-the checking,followingthrough,doing things ourselves because we don't believe others will do them 34-or at all.If we took all thataway,how much extra time would we suddenly find in our life?How much of our work 35 would disappear?

Section B

Directions:In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement

contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which theinformation is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is markedwith a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.

The Place Where the Poor Once Thrived

A)This is the land of opportunity.If that weren't already implied by the landscape-rolling green hills,palm trees,sun-kissed flowers-then it's evident in the many stories of people who grew up poor in thesesleepy neighborhoods and rose to enormous success.People like Tri Tran,who fled Vietnam on a boat in1986,showed up in San Jose with nothing,made it to MIT,and then founded the food-delivery start-up

Munchery,which is valued at $300 million.

B)Indeed,data suggests that this is one of the best places to grow up poor in America.A child born in theearly 1980s into a low-income family in San Jose had a 12.9 percent chance of becoming a high earner asan adult,according to a landmark study released in 2014 by the economist Raj Chetty and his colleaguesfrom Harvard and Berkeley.That number-12.9 percent-may not seem remarkable,but it was:Kids in

San Jose whose families fell in the bottom quintile of income nationally had the best shot inthe country at reaching the top quintile.

C)By contrast,just 4.4 percent of poor kids in Charlotte moved up to the top;in Detroit the figure was 5.5percent.San Jose had social mobility comparable to Denmark's and Canada's and higher than otherprogressive cities such as Boston and Minneapolis.

D)The reasons kids in San Jose performed so well might seem obvious.Some of the world's most innovativecompanies are located here,providing opportunities such as the one seized by a 12-year-old Mountain

View resident named Steve Jobs when he called William Hewlett to ask for spare parts and subsequentlyreceived a summer job.This is a city of immigrants-38 percent of the city's population today is foreign-born-and immigrants and their children have historically experienced significant upward mobility in

America.The city has long had a large foreign-born population(26.5 percent in 1990),leading to broaderdiversity,which,the Harvard and Berkeley economists say,is a good predictor of mobility.

E)Indeed,the streets of San Jose seem,in some way,to embody the best of America.It's possible to drivein a matter of minutes from sleek (office towers near the airport where people pitch ideas toinvestors,to single-family homes with orange tree in their yards,or to a Vietnamese mall.The librarieshere offer programs in 17 languages,and there are areas filled with small businesses owned by Vietnameseimmigrants,Mexican immigrants,Korean immigrants,and Filipino immigrants,to name a few.

F)But researchers aren't sure exactly why poor kids in San Jose did so well.The city has a low prevalenceof children growing up in single-parent families,and a low level of concentrated poverty,both factorsthat usually mean a city allows for good intergenerational mobility.But San Jose also performs poorlyon some of the measures correlated with good mobility.It is one of the most unequal places out of the741 that the researchers measured,and it has high degrees of racial and economic segregation ()

Its schools underperform based on how much money there is in the area,said Ben Scuderi,a predoctoralfellow at the Equality of Opportunity Project at Harvard,which uses big data to study how to improveeconomic opportunities for low-income children."There's a lot going on here which we don't totallyunderstand,"he said."It's interesting,because it kind of defies our expectations."

G)The Chetty data shows that neighborhoods and places mattered for children born in the San Jose area ofthe 1980s.Whether the city still allows for upward mobility of poor kids today,though,is up for debate.

Some of the indicators such as income inequality,measured by the Equality of Opportunity Project for theyear 2000,have only worsened in the past 16 years.

H)Some San Jose residents say that as inequality has grown in recent years,upward mobility has becomemuch more difficult to achieve.As Silicon Valley has become home to more successful companies,theflood of people to the area has caused housing prices to skyrocket.By most measures,San Jose is no

2020年12月大学英语四级考试真题（第一套）第4页

longer a place where low-income,or even middle-income families,can afford to live.Rents in San Josegrew 42.6 percent between 2006 and 2014,which was the largest increase in the country during thattime period.The city has a growing homelessness problem,which it tried to address by shutting down“The Jungle,,”one of the largest homeless encampments(临时住地)in the nation,in2014.Inequalityis extreme:The Human Development Index-a measure of life expectancy,education and per capita(income-gives East San Jose a score of 4.85 out of 10,while nearby Cupertino,where

Apple's headquarters sits,receives a 9.26.San Jose used to have a happy mix of factors-cheap housing,closeness to a rapidly developing industry,tightly-knit immigrant communities that together openedup the possibility of prosperity for even its poorest residents.But in recent years,housing prices haveskyrocketed,the region's rich and poor have segregated,and middle-class jobs have disappeared.Giventhis,the future for the region's poor doesn't look nearly as bright as it once did.

I)Leaders in San Jose are determined to make sure that the city regains its status as a place where even poor

kids can access the resources to succeed.With Silicon Valley in its backyard.it certainly has the chance todo so."I think there is a broad consciousness in the Valley that we can do better than to leave thousandsof our neighbors behind through a period of extraordinary success,"San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said.

J)But in today's America-a land of rising inequality,increasing segregation,and stagnating (middle-class wages-can the San Jose region really once again become a place of opportunity?

K)The idea that those at the bottom can rise to the top is central to America's ideas about itself.That suchmobility has become more difficult in San Jose raises questions about the endurance of that foundationalbelief.After all,if the one-time land of opportunity can't be fixed,what does that say for the rest of America?

36.According to some people living in San Jose,it has become much harder for the poor to get ahead due tothe increased inequality.

37.In American history,immigrants used to have a good chance to move upward in society.

38.If the problems of San Jose can't be solved,one of America's fundamental beliefs about itself be shaken.

39.San Jose was among the best cities in America for poor kids to move up the social ladder.

40.Whether poor kids in San Jose today still have the chance to move upward is questionable

41.San Jose's officials are resolved to give poor kids access to the resources necessary for success in life.

42.San Jose appears to manifest some of the best features of America.

43.As far as social mobility is concerned,San Jose beat many other progressive cities in America.

44.Due to some changes like increases in housing prices in San Jose,the prospects for its poor people have

dimmed.

45.Researchers do not have a clear idea why poor children in San Jose achieved such great success severaldecades ago.

Section C

Directions:There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished

statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B).C)and D).You should decideon the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single linethrough the centre.

Passage One

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

Three children in every classroom have a diagnosable mental health condition.Half of these arebehavioural disorders,while one third are emotional disorders such as stress,anxiety and depression,whichoften become outwardly apparent through self-harm.There was an astonishing 52 per cent jump in hospitaladmissions for children and young people who had harmed themselves between 2009 and 2015.

Schools and teachers have consistently reported the scale of the problem since 2009.Last year,over half

2020年12月大学英语四级考试真题（第一套）第5页

of teachers reported that more of their pupils experience mental health problems than in the past.But teachersalso consistently report how ill-equipped they feel to meet pupils'mental health needs,and often cite a lackof training,expertise and support from the National Health Service(英国国家医疗服务体系).

Part of the reason for the increased pressure on schools is that there are now fewer "early intervention

)and low-level mental health services based in the community.Cuts to local authority budgets since2010 have resulted in a significant decline of these services,despite strong evidence of their effectiveness inpreventing crises further down the line.

The only way to break the pressures on both mental health services and schools is to reinvest in earlyintervention services inside schools.

There are strong arguments for why schools are best placed to provide mental health services.Schoolssee young people more than any other service,which gives them a unique ability to get to hard-to-reachchildren and young people and build meaningful relationships with them over time.Recent studies haveshown that children and young people largely prefer to see a counsellor in school rather than in an outsideenvironment.Young people have reported that for low-level conditions such as stress and anxiety,a clinicalsetting can sometimes be daunting(令人却步的).

There are already examples of innovative schools which combine mental health and wellbeing provisionwith a strong academic curriculum.This will,though,require a huge cultural shift.Politicians,policymakers,commissioners and school leaders must be brave enough to make the leap towards reimagining schools asproviders of health as well as education services.

46.What are teachers complaining about?

A)There are too many students requiring special attention.

B)They are under too much stress counselling needy students.

C)Schools are inadequately equipped to implement any intervention.

D)They lack the necessary resources to address pupils'mental problems

47.What do we learn from the passage about community health services in Britain?

A)They have deteriorated due to budget cuts.

B)They facilitate local residents'everyday lives.

C)They prove ineffective in helping mental patients.

D)They cover preventative care for the local residents.

48.Where does the author suggest mental health services be placed?

A)At home.

B)At school.

C)In hospitals.

D)In communities.

49.What do we learn from the recent studies?

A)Students prefer to rely on peers to relieve stress and anxiety.

B)Young people are keen on building meaningful relationships.

C)Students are more comfortable seeking counselling in school.

D)Young people benefit from various kinds of outdoor activities.

50.What does the author mean by a cultural shift (Lines 2-3,Para.6)?

A)Simplification of schools'academic curriculums.

B)Parents'involvement in schools'policy-making.

C)A change in teachers'attitudes to mental health.

D)A change in the conception of what schools are.

Passage Two

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

Picture this:You're at a movie theater food stand loading up on snacks.You have a choice of a small,medium or large soda.The small is $3.50 and the large is $5.50.It's a tough decision:The small size maynot last you through the whole movie,but $5.50 for some sugary drink seems ridiculous.But there's a third
