I share the same view with many East Asian scholars that the Oriental civilization can heal some of the prevailing ,stubborn Western ills.We should not turn a blind eye to the fact that individual freedom has gone overboard in the West, resulting in extreme individualism, sexual promiscuity and excessive use of violence.// By contrast,self-discipline, corporate responsibility and the pacific tradition of East Asia can offset many Western vices.// At this age of information, the world has shrunk as a global village in which there will be no clear-cut worlds of the East and the West any more, but a world of one community with neighboring families.// Therefore,we do not necessarily have to come into clash with each other.Our relationship is one of friendly cooperation, equality and mutual complementarity and therefore,we should understand and learn from each other, and live in harmony.// 11.、国际贸易的基本原则是平等互利，各国追求各自的利益是正常的，出现一些摩擦和纠纷也是不可避免的。关键要以冷静而明智的态度正确对待和处理摩擦和纠纷。// 就中美贸易而言，互利共赢的经贸关系给两国人民带来了实实在在的经济利益。今天，美国在华投资设立的企业已超过4 万家，投资额达450 亿美元。// 美国500 强企业有400 多家进入中国，大多数企业获利丰厚。与此同时，在美国市场上，许多中国商品受到美国消费者的青睐。中国在美国投资设立的企业已超过1000 家。// 我们可以预见，中美贸易摩擦将随着经贸关系的深化而凸显，但是中美经贸合作的总体发展是不可逆转的。主要有两个原因，其一：中美贸易具有很大互补性。其二：中国产品具有明显的劳动力成本优势。// Equality and mutual benefit is the fundamental principle of international trade.Therefore, it is normal that countries will seek to protect their own interests, which may lead to trade friction sand disputes.The key lies in how to cope with these issues correctly in a cool and wise manner.// As for China-US trade, mutually beneficial and win-win trade and economic ties have delivered tangible economic benefits to the two peoples.Now, with over 40,000 U.S.-invested enterprises, the total investment in China stands at $45 billion.// Of the top 500 U.S companies, more than 400 have their business in China, and most of them are making handsome profit.At the same time, many Chinese commodities have become favored choices of American consumers.Meanwhile, the number of Chinese-invested enterprises in the United Sates has surpassed 1,000.// We predict that trade disputes between China and the United States will become more acute along with the further development in bilateral trade and economic cooperation.The overall development in bilateral trade and economic cooperation is, however, irreversible.There are two factors contribute to this trend.Firstly, the Sino-U.S.economic and trade relations enjoy complementarities in vast fields.Secondly, China has an outstanding labor cost advantage.//
12、中国国际出版集团是中国最大的、最权威的外语出版发行单位，其前身是中央人民政府新闻出版署国际新闻局。// 我集团坚持“让中国走向世界，让世界了解中国”的出版原则，全心致力于中国外语教育与研究事业的发展，全心致力于中外文化交流事业的拓展。// 为了加强对出版人才队伍的建设，为了满足日益增长的特殊出版业务的需要，我集团每年都要选派一些青年员工到国内外知名高等学府和研究机构进修，// 根据我们的发展战略，我们会将前进的步伐迈出国界走向世界，瞄准海外读者群，这一战略已取得了良好的开局。// The China International Publishing Group is the largest and the most authoritative foreign language publishing and distribution establishment, its predecessor being the International Press Bureau of the Central People's Government Press and Publication Administration.//Adhering to the publishing philosophy of “assisting China's march to the world and facilitating world's understanding of China”, the Group commits itself entirely to promoting foreign language education and research in China and advancing cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.// In order to build up a strong team of publishing staff, as well as to meet the growing need of more technically demanding business, the Group makes it a rule that young staff be selected and sent to noted universities and research institutions, both domestic and overseas,for further studies.// As is clearly spelled out in our new development strategy,we will go beyond our national boundaries and wedge ourselves into the world circulation market, aiming at the international readership.Our initial effort shave been very rewarding.// 13.改革开放30 年来，随着中国逐渐崛起成为政治经济强国，海外人士学习汉语的现象与日俱增，海外孔子学院也成了人们学习中国语言和中国文化的首选之地。// 通过学习汉语，他们对这个和自己文化大相径庭的古老文明产生了浓厚的兴趣，而且有机会了解中国的哲学、艺术、医学、饮食文化，亲身体验这个文明古国的风采。// 作为第二文化，中国文化也丰富了他们的生活和世界观。可以说，这个潮流方兴未艾。越来越多的学习汉语的美国人除了对中国菜肴赞不绝口之外，也在尝试针灸，草药和武术。//他们也看功夫电影，学习东方时装潮流和手工艺，不知不觉的在日常生活中谈及中国的点心，人参、银杏，乌龙茶等。目前在美国最热门的中国文化是道家学说和有着神秘色彩的风水学。
As China is rising as a political and economic world power, thanks to its three-decade reform and opening up, more and more people in overseas countries start to learn Chinese and turn to a Confucius Institute in their own countries as their first choice learning Chinese language and Chinese culture.// During the learning process, the learners concurrently develop their interest in this ancient land, whose civilization is so vastly different from theirs.And the learners have opportunities to learn about Chinese philosophy, art, architecture, medicine and catering culture and experience first-hand the splendors of this venerable civilization.// As the second culture, Chinese culture has enriched the life and world outlook of the learners.This trend, so to speak, is gathering momentum and is there to stay.Apart from their love for Chinese cuisine, more and more American learners of Chinese language are turning to Chinese acupuncture ,herbal medicines, martial arts.// They are also interested in kongfu films,fashions and crafts.Seemingly outlandish words such as dim sum, ginseng,gingko, oolong cha have crept into their everyday language.The latest Chinese cultural icons to make its impact there are Taoism, and ancient school of thought, and fengshui, an ancient art of placement.//
14、上海菜系是中国最年轻的地方菜系，通常被成为“本帮菜”，有着400多年的历史。同中国其他菜系一样，“本帮菜”具有“色，香，味”三大要素。//上海菜的特点是注重调料的使用，食物的质地和菜的原汁原味。其中最著名的有特色点心“南翔小笼”和特色菜“松鼠鲑鱼”。//“南翔小笼”是猪肉馅，个小味美，皮薄汁醇。“松鼠鲑鱼”色泽黄亮，形如松鼠，外皮脆而内肉嫩，汤汁酸甜适口。//在品尝过“松鼠鲑鱼”之后，我们常常惊讶于“松鼠”的形状，觉得在三大评价标准上在添加“形”这个标准才更合适。// Shanghai cuisine , usually called Benbang cuisine, is the youngest among the major regional cuisines in China,with a history of more than 400 years.Like all other Chinese regional cuisines,Benbang cuisines takes “color, aroma and taste” as its essential quality elements.//Shanghai cuisine emphasizes in particular the expert use of seasonings, the selection of raw materials with quality texture, and original flavors.Shanghai cuisine is famous for a special snack known as Nanxiang Steamed Meat Dumpling sand a special dish called “Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish”.//Nanxiang Steamed Meat Dumplings are small in size, with thin and translucent wrappers, filled inside with ground pork and rich tasty soup.Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish is yellow-colored and squirrel-shaped, with a crispy skin and tender meat, all covered with a sweet and sour source.//After tasting Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish, we are always amazed by the squirrel shape and think that it is more appropriate to plus “appearance” as the fourth element.15、美国人强调效率、竞争和独创性，而中国人则将严谨规划放在首位，鼓励团队成员之间的密切合作和无私奉献。//在美国学校，讨论享有至高无上的地位，讨论是课堂教学的主旋律；而中国教师喜欢讲课，喜欢考试，编写千篇一律的标准教案，培养整齐划一的高材生。//美国人的政治观，经济观以及社会观的核心是个人道德自治观。中国传统的思想体系是以儒家学说为基础的，这种思想强调整体和谐。//现在，中美联系比以往更加紧密，中国人学英语，玩保龄球，吃肯德基，美国人学汉语，练功夫，吃北京烤鸭，《泰坦尼克》驶进中国，《牡丹亭》也在百老汇上演。// American people emphasize efficiency,competition and originality while Chinese people give priority to careful planning and encourage close cooperation and altruistic dedication among team members.//In American schools, discussion is given top priority while Chinese teachers like to lecture in class,and a lot of them are obsessed with examinations.They write consistent and standardized

Chinese philosophical systems are based on Confucianism,which sings high praises for communal harmony.//Nowadays, the relation of China and America become closer than ever.Chinese learn English, play bowling, enjoy KFC, while Americans learn Chinese, exercise Kung Fu, like Peking Duck.And Titanic sailed into China, while The Peony Pavilion has been performed on Broadway.//

be spread to the rest of the world and shared by all humanity.// The Chinese Wushu Association and International Wushu Federation(IWUF)have been working very hard to popularize wushu and make the Chinese martial art closer to the Olympic Movement.Wushu was accepted to join bowling and international standard dance as an Olympic demonstration event.// The booming of wushu is attributed not only to the attractiveness of the sport but also to emigrant Chinese wushu masters over the years.// Martial artists of the older generation shave sown wushu seeds in foreign countries.Wushu, which can be used as self defense and can keep practitioners fit and strong, soon became popular on new lands.Today superb wushu masters are active all over the world, and amateurs are on the increase with each

航员（astronaut）王亚平在距离 地球300公里的上空所讲授的科学课。王亚平与两个 同事
乘坐天宫一号实验舱(the Tiangon-1 laboratory module)执行为期两周的任务。她在课上进行
了一系 列太空的物理演示。在有些演示中还对比了在地球 上重力（one-gravity）环境下同
样的实验。这堂物理 课不仅让孩子们享受了一堂知识与乐趣兼具的物理 课，也显示了 我国通信科技的前进。
Key 5• On June 20, 2013, an estimated 600 thousand school children and their teachers

mission.Her lessons were a series of physics demonstrations in the space.In some demonstrations,she compared with the same experiment under the one-gravity environment on Earth.The lesson
has not only offered children a physics lesson with knowledge and interest, but also shows the
advance in communication technology of China.1． 通常看一个读些什么书就可知道他的为人，就像看他同什么人交往就可知道他的为人一
样，因为有人以人为伴，也有人以书为伴。无论是书友还是朋友，我们都应该以最好的为伴。但如果你放下了一本你不喜欢看的书而不断地去找寻另外一本对你有意义的书，因为这样一本书让你得到消遣放松，你确定很享受——因为阅读，你变得更好，更聪慧，更和善或者说更文雅，如果没有阅读的过程你什么也享用不了。他认为这本书和书中的知识只是违背他自身世界的另一个世界，一个他不存在也不想介入的世界，一个可恨的老师们代表着和标榜着的世界。
1．A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps;for
there is a companionship of books as well as of men;and one should always live in the best
company, whether it be of books or of men.But if you put down a book you don‟t like and try
another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost
certainly have a good time—and if you become as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder or more
gentle, you won‟t have suffered during the process.He felt that books and the knowledge in them
were part of a world that was against him, a world to which he did not belong and which he did
not want to enter, the world of which the hateful teachers were representatives and symbols.2．我们对历史的爱好起源于我们最初仅对一些历史上的宏伟场面和激动人心的事件感到孩
童般的兴趣；其后，这种爱好变得成熟起来，我们开始对历史这出“戏剧”的多样性和复杂
性，对历史上的辉煌成就和悲壮失败也感兴趣；对历史的爱好，最终以我们对人类生命的一
种深沉的神秘感而告结束。对死去的，无论是伟大与平凡，所有在这个地球上走过而已逝的人，都有能取得伟大奇迹或制造可怕事件的潜力。
答案 2．It begins as a childlike interest in the grand spectacle and exciting event;it grows as a
mature interest in the variety and complexity of the drama, the splendid achievements and terrible
failures;it ends as deep sense of the mystery of man„s life of all the dead, great and obscure, who
once walked the earth, and of wonderful and awful possibilities of being a human being.中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如，我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)
是纪念古代 诗人屈原的日子。那一天，人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。中秋节是观赏
满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征 着圆满，象征着家庭团聚。因此，中秋节(The Mid-autumn
Festival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。春节是中国 的农历新年(the Chinese lunar New Year’
s holiday)，除了常见的家禽和肉类之外，人们还要按各自的地方习俗 烹制传统食物，如铰
子和年糕。
Traditional Chinese holiday meals are indispensable on some festivals.For example, the Dragon
Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold
dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice dumpling on that day.The Mid-autumn Festival is an
occasion for viewing the full moon.The round moon is a symbol for completeness and family
reunion.The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake.The Spring
Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday.Besides the popular poultry and meat, people
cook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and
niangao, or the “ 1 ” new year cake
北京有无数的胡同(hutong)。平民百姓在胡同里的生活给古都北京带来了无穷的魅力。北京的胡同不仅仅 是平民百姓的生活环境，而且还是一门建筑艺术。通常，胡同内有一个大杂
院，房间够4到10个家庭的差不多20 口人住。所以，胡同里的生活充满了友善和人情味。
如今，随着社会和经济的飞速发展，很多胡同被新的高楼大 厦所取代。但愿胡同可以保留
下来
In Beijing, there are numerous hutongs.The life of common people in hutongs brings endless
charm to the ancient capital, Beijing.The hutong in Beijing is not only the living environment of
common people but also a kind of architecture.Usually, there is a courtyard complex inside
hutong, with rooms shared by 4 to 10 families of about 20 people.Therefore, life in hutongs is full
of friendliness and genuine humanity.Nowadays, with rapid social and economic development,many hutongs are replaced by new tall buildings.I hope hutongs can be preserved.过去的七年，中国的房地产(real estate)业经历了前所未有的高速增长。对于那些月薪较低却
渴望在大城市 拥有一套属于自己的体面、舒适的栖身之所的人来说，高昂的房价是他们无
法承受的负担。鉴于这一状况，政府近来采取了一系列的措施来防止房价过快增长，包括提
高利率及增加房产税等。目前，这些措施在部分城市已经 取得了初步的成效
In the past seven years, China’s real estate industry has developed in a record high speed.For
those who earn less but are eager to own a decent and comfortable place of their own in a big city,the high housing price is a heavy burden that they cannot afford.For this reason, the government
has taken a series of measures to prevent the housing price from rising too fast, including raising
interest rates and increasing taxes on real estate etc.Presently, these measures have achieved
initial effects in some cities.如今，越来越多的大学生抱怨很难找到好工作。造成这一现象的原因如下：首先，大学生把
在校的大多数 时间都用在了专业学科学习上，只有当他们开始找工作的时候，才意识到自
己缺乏必要的职业培训。其次，大 学生之间的竞争也越来越激烈，这导致任何一名大学生
找到工作的机会都变小了。因此，强烈建议大学生在 课余时间做一些兼职工作，以积累相
关的工作经验。
Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding
a good job.The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of
their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that
they realize they lack necessary job training.Second, competitionamong graduates has become
more and more fierce.And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a
job.Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their
spare time to accumulate relevant working experience.练习题一：Section ADirections: In this section, there is apassage with ten blanks.You are

magnets, similar to those employed to store information in disk drives.The researchers took

field thanks to the presence within its cells of flecks of magnetite, a form of iron oxide.Previous
work has isolated the protein that makes these miniature compasses.Using genetic engineering,the team managed to persuade a different bacterium—Escherichia coli, a ubiquitous critter that is a
workhorse of biotechnology—to(7)this protein in bulk.Next, they imprinted a block of gold
with a microscopic chessboard pattern of chemicals.Half the squares contained anchoring points
for the protein.The other half were left untreated as controls.They then dipped the gold into a
solution containing the protein, allowing it to bind to the treated squares, and dunked the whole lot
into a heated(8)of iron salts.After that, they examined the results with an electron microscope.Sure enough, groups of magnetite grains had materialised on the treated squares, shepherded into
place by the bacterial protein.In principle, each of these magnetic domains could store the one
or the zero of a bit of information, according to how it was polarised.Getting from there to a real
computer memory would be a long road.For a start, the grains of magnetite are not strong
enough magnets to make a useful memory, and the size of each domain is huge by modern
computing(9).But Dr Staniland reckons that, with enough tweaking, both of these objections
could be dealt with.The(10)of this approach is that it might not be so capital-intensive as

教育读书类
中国教育工作者早就认识到读书对于国家的重要意义。有些教育工作者2003年就建议设立全民读书日。他们强调，人们应当读好书，尤其是经典著作，通过阅读，人们能更好地学会感恩、有责任心和与人合作，而教育的目的正是要培养这些基本素质。阅读对于中小学生尤为重要，假如他们没有在这个关键时期培养阅读的兴趣，以后要养成阅读的习惯就很难了。
For a long time, educational workers in China have come to realize the significance of reading for the nation.Since 2003, some of them have suggested that a National Day for Reading should be set up.They emphasize that people should reading good books, especially classic ones.Through reading, individuals can better learn to be grateful, responsible and cooperative with others.And the purpose of education is to cultivate these basic qualities.Reading is of vital importance for students in primary and middle schools，because if they do not foster interest of reading in this key period, it will be difficult for them to develop the habit of reading in future.素质教育 quality-oriented education 希望工程Project Hope 走读生 non-resident student

当外国人第一次来到中国，他们不仅惊讶于中国经济的快速发展，还惊讶于经济发展带来的环境恶化。经济发展确实改善了人们的生活，但恶劣的空气和食品质量又会降低人们的幸福感。虽然很多人说这是发展的必然途径，但他们忽略了一点，即经济发展造成的环境伤害很难弥补。比如北京的雾霾（smog）已经严重影响人们的生活。幸运的是，政府已经意识到这个问题，一系列改善环境的行动正在进行。

中国城市化
原文：中国城市化(urbanization)将会充分释放潜在内需(domestic demand)。一些经济学家指出，在中国几乎所有的发展中城市都面临着城市化的进程。这使得许多人的生活水平有所提高，也为人们提 供更多的就业机会。随着越来越多的人向城市迁徙，住房及城市基础设施建设(infrastructure construction),包括水源等能源的供应将会 成为城市发展的焦点问题。商品与服务的自由、快速流通是城市化 社会的一项基本特征。逐渐扩张的城市需要更多的零售店来满足消费者的需求。
参考译文：Urbanization
China’s urbanization will release the full potential of domestic demand.Some economists point out that urbanization is a process that is occurring in nearly every developing city in the country.It will lead to a better quality of life for many people，and provide individuals with more job opportunities.The construction of housing and city infrastructure, including water and energy supplies, will be a focal point of urban development as more people migrate to cities.Urbanization means better access to educational and medical resources in the city.But it also predicts less use of personal vehicles and more use of public transportation.The fast, free flow of goods and services is a basic trait of an urbanized society.Ex-panding cities require more retail outlets to serve customers.翻译这一题型,考察的内容较多,且主题的变化也较大,考生们要认真学习相关内容,多积累词汇量,关注热门话题。2016《大学英语四级考试真题精析与标准预测》这本书对我们的考试帮助很大，考生们要好好利用哦，加油。
