awk to insert new line conditionally

Dear All,

I have a file like:

Quote:
1 1 1 2011
2 2 2 2001
3 3 3 2011
4 4 4 2001
5 5 5 2011
If $4=2001, a duplicated line will be inserted and $4 will be assigned value 2011; so that the new file would be:

Quote:
1 1 1 2011
2 2 2 2001
2 2 2 2011
3 3 3 2011
4 4 4 2001
4 4 4 2011
5 5 5 2011
How to write awk to accomplish this? thank you very much!
