Shanghai is a dynamic, diverse and stimulating city-the very epitome of modern China.Though Shanghai cannot rival Beijing in cultural heritage, its varied architectural styles and cosmopolitan feel give it a charm of its own.Today's Shanghai has become a world-famous international metropolis.A walk through this booming city reveals many glimpses of its colorful past.Hidden a mongst the skyscrapers are remains of the original Shanghai.They keep on showing how Shanghai has been developing fast and enormously since its opening as a commercial port in the late 19th century, especially after the founding of new China.7.近代以来,亚洲经历了曲折和艰难的发展历程。亚洲人们为改变自己的命运,始终以不屈的意志和艰辛的奋斗开辟前进道路。今天,人们所看到的亚洲发展成就,是勤劳智慧的亚洲人民不屈不挠、锲而不舍奋斗的结果。亚洲人民深知,世界上没有放之四海而皆准的发展模式,也没有一成不变的发展道路,亚洲人民勇于变革创新,不断开拓进取,探索和开辟适应时代潮流,符合自身实际的发展道路,为经济社会发展打开了广阔前景。
In modern times, Asia experienced twists and turns in its development.To change their destiny, the people of Asia have been forging ahead in an indomitable spirit and with hard struggle.Asia's development achievements today are the result of the persistent efforts of the industrious and talented Asian people.The people of Asia re fully aware that there is no ready model or unchanging path of development that is universally applicable.They never shy away from reform and innovation.Instead, they are committed to exploring and finding development paths that are in line with the trend of the times and their own situations, and have opened up bright prospects for economic and social development.8.、吸烟之危害,可谓大矣,其严重性是不能低估的。吸烟污染空气,损害健康,使肺癌发病率大大增加。为了使各国人民关注烟草的盛行及预防吸烟导致的疾病和死亡,世界卫生组织已将每年的5月31日定为“世界无烟日”。瘾君子们说,一天饭不吃可以,一个时辰不抽烟就难捱了,不能戒。只要真正意识到吸烟有百害而无一利,于人于己都是一种祸害,就有可能下决心摆脱烟草的诱惑。戒烟贵在坚持,坚持下去就是收获。
Smoking does great harm to human and its gravity should not be underestimated.Smoking pollutes air, damages health, and increases the incidence of lung cancer.To arouse the awareness about the prevalence of tobacco in all the countries and to prevent smoking-induce diseases and deaths, the WHO(World Health Organization)has defined May 31stin every year as World No-Tobacco Day.The tobacco addicts say that smoking is impossible to quit because they could do without meals in a day but would feel tortured without tobacco in two hours.However, when one realizes that smoking is harmful in many ways but beneficial in no way and that it is a curse to others as well as to he himself, he will be determined to resist the temptation of tobacco.To quit smoking requires persistence and so long as one persists,he’ll be rewarded.9.越来越多受英文教育的海外华人父母,已经认识到孩子在掌握不可或缺的英文的同时,也通晓中文的重要性。中国的崛起,让他们充分认识到孩子掌握双语的好处——既能增加他们的就业机会,也能让他们接触和熟悉东西方两种不同的文化。这些人对中文的态度几乎没有完全改变。曾几何时,他们还非常骄傲地宣称自己只懂英文。现在,他们已开始积极支持孩子学习中文和中国文化,而且还不时走访中国,欣赏壮观的自然风光,认识丰富的文化遗产。An increasing number of English-educated Chinese parents overseas have come to the realization that while English learning is indispensable to their children, it is essential that their kid shave a good command of Chinese.China’s rise has fully awakened their awareness of the fact that their kids can benefit rom their bilingual ability which can not only enhance their competitiveness in the job market, but also facilitate their exposure to and familiarity with the two different cultures between the East and the West.They have hardly changed their attitudes towards Chinese.At one time they proudly declared that they knew English only.Now, they have begun to give full support to their kids learning Chinese and its culture, and they also make occasional visits to China,where they can enjoy its magnificent natural landscape and get to know its rich cultural heritage.10、我赞同许多东亚学者的观点,东方文明可以医治盛行于西方世界的一些顽疾。西方世界个人自由主义泛滥导致了极端个人主义、性关系混乱以及过度暴力行为,对此我们不能视而不见。// 相反,东方社会的自我约束力,集体责任感以及温厚儒雅的传统倒可以消除西方社会的许多恶疾。// 在这个信息时代,世界已缩小成一个地球村。这个地球村里,不再有什么泾渭分明的东方世界和西方世界,我们是生活在同一个社区里的邻里。// 因此,我们彼此之间无须冲突。我们之间的关系应该是一种友好合作,平等互补的关系。我们应该相互理解,相互学习,和睦共处。
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.//

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

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

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

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

American chipmaker, put the price of a new chip factory at around $10 billion.Happily for those
that lack Intel's resources, there may be a cheaper option—namely to mimic Mother Nature,who
has been building tiny(4), in the form of living cells and their components, for billions of years,and has thus got rather good at it.A paper published in Small, a nanotechnology journal , sets
out the latest example of the(5).In it, a group of researchers led by Sarah Staniland at the
University of Leeds, in Britain, describe using naturally occurring proteins to make arrays of tiny
magnets, similar to those employed to store information in disk drives.The researchers took
their(6)from Magnetospirillum magneticum, a bacterium that is sensitive to the Earth's magnetic
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

中国土地广阔,人口众多。尽管全国都讲汉语,但是不同地区的人说汉语的方式不同,这被称为方言。方言一般被称为地方话,是汉语在不同地区的分支,只在特定地区使用。汉语方言非常复杂。它们有以下三方面不同:发音、词汇和语法。发音的区别最为显著。2000多年前,中国人发现社交时应该使用同一的语言。和方言相比,普通话能被所有人理解。普通话有利于不同种族、地区人民之间的信息传递和文化交流。
参考译文:
China has a vast land and a large population.Even though the Chinese language is spoken all over the country, people in different areas speak it in different ways, which are called dialects.Generally called local languages, dialects are branches of the Chinese language in different regions, and are only used in certain areas.Dialects of the Chinese language are very complicated.They differ from each other in three aspects: pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar.And the difference in pronunciation is the most outstanding.Over 2000 years ago, Chinese people realized that a common language should be used in social activities.Compared with dialects, mandarin can be understood by all people in China.The use of mandarin can contribute to information transmission and cultural exchange between ethnic groups and people in different places.词句点拨:

中国五年前根本没有高速铁路。但是现在高铁列车(high-speed trains)的票经常很快就售罄,尽管发车间隔比较短。人们能够很方便地以两倍于美国火车最髙速的速度在全国周游。高速铁路系统的运菅非常成功,它运载的乘客是全国民航(civil aviation)系统运载的乘客的两倍。中国有世界上最先进的、低排放的快速运输系统之一,而做到这一点仅仅用了五年。
参考译文:
China didn't have a high-speed rail five years ago.But now the tickets of high-speed trains are usually sold out very quickly, even though the departure interval is quite short.And people can conveniently travel around the nation at a speed that doubles the speed of the fastest American train.The operation of high-speed rail system is very successful;it carries twice as many passengers as the nation's civil aviation system.China has one of the most advanced rapid transit systems with low emissions in the world, and it only takes five years to achieve this.词句点拨
1.但是现在高铁列车的票经常很快就售罄,尽管发车间隔比较短“售罄”:可译为sell out,意为“卖完了,卖光了”;“发车间隔”译为departure interval。
2.人们能够很方便地以两倍于美国火车最高速的速度在全国周游:“以...的速度”可译为at a speed...,speed意为“速度”“;两倍于”即“是...的两倍”,可译为double,也可译为twice。
3.高速铁路系统的运营非常成功,它运栽的乘客是全国民航系统运载的乘客的两倍:“运栽”可用carry来表示。“倍数+as+many/much/large等形容词+(比较的内容)+as”为英语中表达倍数时常用的结构,中间的形容词根据比较的内容来定,如比较大小则用as large as,表示“是...的两倍大”则为twice as large as。

Since initiating market reforms in 1978,China has shifted from a centrally planned to a market based economy.More than 600 million citizens have been lifted out of poverty, but over 170 million people still live below the $1.25-a-day international poverty line.In 2012, China’s GDP(PPP)per capita was $12,405.67.This is 37 times higher than what it was just 30 years ago.By 2018,China’s GDP per capita will climb from the 90th to 75th highest in the world.This however will still be below the forecasted world average.“剩女(leftover women)”这个词被用来指那些在二十八九岁,甚至更大年龄仍未结婚的女性。有些人认为“剩女”是需要认真对待的社会力量,而另一些人则主张这个词应被视为褒义词,意思是“成功女性”。据2010年的中国婚姻调查(Chinese National Marriage Survey)报道,90%的男人认为女人应该在27岁之前结婚。在中国,大部分“剩女”都是受过良好教育的中产阶级。跟以前几代人相比,如今的女性更加自由,更能够独立生活。
参考译文:
“Leftover women”is a term that refers to women who remain unmarried in their late twenties and beyond.Some people regard leftover women as a social force to be reckoned with”,while others have argued that the term should be taken as a positive term to mean“successful women”.In a 2010 Chinese National Marriage Survey,it was reported that 9 out of 10 men believe that women should be married before they are 27 years old.In China leftover women are mostly well-educated middle class.Women today are more free and able to live independently in comparison to previous generations.丝绸之路(the Silk Road)是历史上连接中国和地中海的一条重要贸易路线。因为这条路上的丝绸贸易占绝大部分,所以在1877年它被德国的一位地理学家命名为“丝绸之路”。这条古道从长安开始,经过河西走廊(the Hexi Corridor),到达敦煌后分成三条:南部路线,中部路线和北部路线。这三条路遍布新疆维吾尔自治区(Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region),然后扩展到巴基斯坦(Pakistan),印度,甚至罗马。
The Silk Road is a historically important international trade route between China and the Mediterranean.Because silk comprised a large proportion of trade along this road, in 1877, it was named the Silk Road by an eminent German geographer.This ancient road begins at Chang’an, then by way of the Hexi Corridor,and it reaches Dunhuang, where it divides into three, the Southern Route,Central Route and North¬ern Route.The three routes spread all over the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and then they extend as far as Pakistan, India and even Rome.中国将进一步发展经济、扩大开放,这对海外企业(enterprises)意味着更多的商机。改革开放以来,中国企业与海外企业一直积极开展经济技术合作,并取得了巨大成就。海外企业不仅帮助中国企业的成长,而且也在合作中取得了收益。中国政府将继续提供有力的政策和条件,推动中国企业与国外企业进一步开展合作。
China will develop its economy further and open itself wider to the outside world, which offers more business opportunities to overseas enterprises.Since China’s reform and opening up, Chinese enterprises have been cooperating with overseas enterprises in terms of economy and technology, and have scored great/ tremendous achievement.Overseas enterprises have not only helped Chinese enterprises with their growth, but also benefited from the cooperation.Chinese government will continue to offer favorable policies and conditions to promote the further cooperation between Chinese and overseas enterprises.在中国,广场舞非常受中老年妇女们的欢迎,在城市广场或开阔的地方你经常可以见到她们卖力做动作的身影。但因其噪音大又扰民,很多人对此颇有怨言。你认为广场舞扰民吗?

It becomes so infectious now in the cities throughout China.It stime to have government step in to regulate it。
我真的很讨厌。广场舞,因为我经历过。她们在楼下一天能跳十个小时以上,经常会跳到深夜,音乐声很大,很吵。要是你,你愿意每天在这种环境中生活吗?现在广场舞在中国太泛滥了。政府是时候介入来管一管了。
有人说,单词是做好阅读的关键;然而这并不意味着只要弄懂单词就行了;阅读理解,还有一个关键就是:读懂句子,掌握各个句子之前的逻辑关系,这样才能顺利的理解文章的意思。下面就让我们一起看看阅读中常考的逻辑关系吧!
首先是我们最熟悉的因果关系。
因:because、because of、for、as、since、in that、on account of、with
果:so、so that、therefore、thereby、as a result、hence、thus、consequently、accordingly
因果关系除了传统意义上的显性因果表达词外,隐性的因果同样是不可忽略的一个重要部分。
隐性因果:
A 导致(因-果):cause、reason、lead to、give rise to、result in、render、make、let、ask、push、stimulate、fuel、produce
如:The increased presures of expanding population have led to the removal of woody plants so that many cities and tow are surrounded by large areas completely lacking in trees.在这段话中,有lead to表示了导致的意思,即结果,而so that更进一步表示了后面的结果,所以可以充分判定这段话有因果关系的逻辑。
B 由„而来(果-因):result from、derive from、originate from、initiate from、stem from、be attributable to
如:“The extreme serioue of desertification results from the vast areas of land and tremendous numbers of people affected,as well as from the great difficulty of reversing or even slowing the proce.”
在这段话中,根据result from可以推断出有因果关系,那如果是解释句子题时,选项中有因果关系就可以优先考虑。
C 反映,体现(果-因):reflect、present、demonstrate、suggest、imply
D 考虑到:given、considering、in view of、thanks to、according to
He succeeded thanks to(in view of)his effort.E 依赖于:rely on、depend on、resort to
He resorted to books when he had problems.F 条件关系:when、once、as soon as、As long as
As soon as he got the money, he would leave the country at once.G 分词短语,不定式做状语:Failing in the final exam, she cried.在漫长的30分钟四级听力中,最怕的就是捡了芝麻,丢了西瓜。最重要的信息经常会因为一时疏忽而丢掉分数。所以,在四级听力中,一定要抓住以下这七类关键词!
一、转折性词汇
学会听转折词汇,如yet, however, though, whereas, unfortunately, unexpectedly, instead, rather than, other than, to be frank, frankly speaking, to tell you the truth,etc.二、逻辑类词汇
表原因:because, because of, for, as, due to, owing to, in that, now that, according to;
表结果:therefore, so, as a result, consequently, eventually;
表递进:apart from, in addition, furthermore, what's more, moreover,etc.三、最高级词汇
形容词和副词的最高级最需要关注,如most importantly, the most popular...the biggest of...四、事实罗列词汇
在诸如actually, in fact, as a matter of fact,etc.这些词汇后可能是关键的考点
五、序数词
如the first, firstly and finally
六、情态动词
如sb.has got to, can , could, may, might, need,should, ought to,etc
七、重要形容词
表示重要的词本身就很重要呢,如important, crucial, chief,major,significant, the only, unique, essential, necessary, vital, etc.四级作文常用的70个基本术语,考前赶紧背下来吧!

1.近几年出现了大学生就业难的现象
2.产生这种现象的原因(如大学生追求的目标过高,专业不对口等)3.如何解决这一问题(改变就业观念,大学生再培训等)College Students’ Job Hunting In recent years, college students find it increasingly difficult to get a job.It sounds strange since young college students are usually intelligent, well-educated phenomenon, aspirant and eager to bring their talent into full play.Then what underlies the strange phenomenon? There are several reasons for this.To begin with, nowadays college students aim too high.All they want are “good” jobs which could offer good salary, comfortable working conditions, high social status among others.Consequently, most college students are unwilling to accept vacant jobs they consider not “good” enough.Another reason is that there is a big gap between the majors some students study in school and the demands of vacant jobs.So companies think some students are not fit for the jobs.Solution to the problem requires efforts on both the society and the students.The companies should value the students, talent and knowledge while the latter should not merely aim at material gains.They should be down-to–earth in building up their career.Furthermore, they should face their weak points so as to improve themselves and be more competent.预测十九

第五篇:英语四级翻译题
1.It作形式主语时的常用句型
㈠形式一:It is+形容词+that/wh-从句
例:It is important_____________________(保持生态平衡)。
答案:that we should keep the balance of nature
(本题考查It 作形式主语时的用法,英语中的主语从句有时为了避免头重脚轻,常用it 作形式主语,而真正的主语用that引导放在后面)
㈡形式二:It+不及物动词+that„
例:He has been here only three days and_______________________(由此可见他对那事一无所知)。
答案:it follows that he knows nothing about that
(本题考查 It+不及物动词+that„结构,注意前后句子时态的一致)
㈢形式三:It+be+名词+that„
例:It is our wish that__________________(他爱怎么样就怎么样)
答案:he does what he pleases
(本题考查 It作形式主语的同时,涉及了考试大虚拟语气的考查,在it is our wish/hope that 等结构中,从句子的谓语动词要用should+动词原形这样的虚拟语气)
㈣形式四:It+be+done+that„
例:It is said that____________________(宇宙形成于一次大爆炸以后)
答案:the universe formed after the Big Explode
(本题考查 It作形式主语的用法,常用于It+be+done+that„,结构的动词有report, announce, expert等,常译为“据说”,“据报道”)
1.He told us not to wait for him because___________________(他是否来还不敢肯定)。
2.He has no intention of making progress so__________________(你老是帮助他是没有用的)
3.(后来证实)________________she is a friend of my sister.4.Nevertheless,_________________(不可否认的是),it can bring some side-effects
答案:
1.it was uncertain whether he would come
2.it is no use that you always help him

3.The room is in a terrible mess,it____________________(肯定没打扫过)。
4.(这个计划成功的关键)____________________is good planning.5.When I __________________(发现他骗我)I stopped buying things there and started dealing with another shop.答案:
1.nor did she ever lose temper/become angry
(本题有两个考察点,第一,表示“两个都不”的否定词应该用nor,要把它置于句首句子要有倒装,第二,“发脾气”的表达法:lose temper/become angry)
2.draw /attract reader’s attention
(考察draw /attract reader’s attention “引起某人注意”,so as to 后接do sth.)
3.can’t have been cleaned
(“情态动词+have done”表示推测,can’t表示不可能,如考试大推测的事为过去式,则情态动词后用完成式)
4.The key to the success of this project
(key在这里解答、关键,其后一般接介词to)
5.found/caught him cheating me
(本题考察find/catch+宾语+宾补结构,表示发现某人做某事,cheat是及物动词,直接接宾语)2否定句
㈠部分否定句
部分否定句虽然是否定句的形式,但其否定意义只局限于整体的一部分。其形式为:概括词all, both, every, everybody, everything, everywhere, always, altogether, entirely和wholly等。
例:There is a famous proverb saying that_______________________(闪光的东西并非都是金子)
答案:all that glitters is not gold
(本题主要考察部分否定句。该谚语中,that glitters是一个定语从句,修饰前面的all)㈡完全否定句
完全否定句是针对部分否定句而言,这种否定是彻底的。其形式为:no,none等否定词+肯定式谓语,常见的可以用于这一句型的否定意义的词有:no, none, nobody, nowhere, anyhow, neither, never等,在这一句型中,不定代词不能做主语。还有一种形式为all等概括词+肯定式谓语+含否定意义的词。
例:Cheap as it is,but__________________(我今天无论如何都买不到)
答案:anyhow I will not buy it today
(本题主要考察完全否定句,anyhow意思是“无论如何都不”)

2.Although most people like music,____________________________(但并非人人都想去听音乐会)

答案:
1.both of the books are not helpful 2.everyone don’t want to go to the concert
3.All his plan came to nothing 4.that none of the words can describe his feelings ㈢双重否定句
①其形式一为:主语+cannot+help/refrain/keep+from+动名词。Help from, refrain from, keep from等词具有“抑制,忍住”等否定含义,与cannot等连用,具有双重否定的意义。
例:Having won the gold medal,___________________(他禁不住喜形于色)。
答案:he could not refrain from showing his pleasure.(本题考察双重否定句,refrain from的意思是“克制,避免”)
②其形式二为:主语+cannot+but/choose but/help but+动词原形。
例:_______________________(我们别无选择只好另投旅馆住宿),since all the hotels here are with signs “Be Booked Up”.答案:We could not help but look for another one to stay in.(本题考察双重否定句,“cannot help but”句型,注意这里but后要用动词原形。)
③其形式三为:(There be)no+主语+but+谓语。在此句型中,but是关系代词,即代替前面的名词,又引导后面的从句,并且具有否定意义。
例:He is so devoted to his experiment that______________________(没有人感觉不到他对事业的热爱)。
答案:not a man/no man but felt his love to his career
(本题考察双重否定句型,“no+主语+but+谓语”,no相当于not a 或 not any)
1.___________________(我们忍不住笑起来)when he finished the story.2.______________________(人们不能不被他的事迹所感动)after knowing the bachelor has adopted five orphans.3.Don’t always stick to routines ,and you must know___________________(没有无例外的规则)。

2.One cannot but be moved by his deeds

例:The rich have their annoyances because ________________(有些人除了钱之外一无所有)。
答案:someone have nothing but money
(本题考察强调判断句型“主语+be+nothing+(else)but”,the rich 意思是“富人”,属于“the+形容词”表示一类人或物,表示一类人作主语时,谓语用复数,表示抽象事物时,谓语用单数。
③ 形式三:It is/was+强调部分+that/who+从句
例:________________________(做那个实践的正是我父亲)in the lab yesterday.答案:It was my father who did the experiment.(本题考察强调判断句型,强调的宾语是the experiment,引导词用who)
1.The tall figure that I saw__________________(不是别人,正是我们的校长)。
2.To everyone’s surprise,_____________(他只是一味的笑)。
3._____________________(这正是我父亲做的那个试验)in the lab yesterday.答案:1.was none other than our president
2.he did nothing else than laugh
3.It was the experiment that my father did

例:There are different opinions about the true meaning of life, but most people believe that_________________________________(生命并不一定要漫长,但是要五彩缤纷)。
答案:life is not always long but it must be amazing
(本题考察正反判断句,注意but后如果是一个完整的句子,主语一定要和前面的保持一致)
② 形式二:(It is)not „that(who)„,but„ that(who)„
例:It is not that I dislike the work,_________________________(而是我没有时间)
答案:but that I have no time

例:He does everything with great care but I think ________________________(与其说他谨慎,不如说他是怯懦)。
答案:he is more poltroon than cautious.(本题考察比较判断句型“more „ than ”的用法,它的意思是“与其说„不如说„”,more和than后接对称成分)
② 形式二:主语+be +not so much+表语A +as+表语B
例:Judging from his words, we can know that___________________________(他不是生病,而是情绪低落)。
答案:he isn’t so much ill as depressed.(本题考察比较判断句型 not so much „ as, 意思是“不是„而是„”)

2.Scientists believe that_____________________________(与其说海洋分隔了世界,倒不如说海洋连接了各国。)
1.the elephant is more like a spear than anything else 2.Oceans don’t so much divide the world as unite it 4.倍数表示句型

例:By that time we shall________________(生产的粮食将比2006年增加了3倍)。
答案:produce four times as much grain as we did 2006
