筷子（chopsticks）是中国一种极具民族特色的餐具，距今已有三千多年的历史。据记载，筷子的最早使用可以追溯到商代，那时的君王就已经将筷子作为皇家进食工具。中国的筷子通常由木头或竹子制成，到了现代还演变出了陶瓷筷子和金属筷子，以满足人们的不同需求。筷子一般称作“一双”而不是“两根”，这体现了中国人的阴阳思想，是中国古代人民智慧的结晶。【参考译文】

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。
When foreigners firstly come to China, they are shocked/ surprised by not only the rapid/speedy development of China’s economy, but also environmental pollution by economic development.The advance of economy truly enhances people’s life, but bad air and food quality reduce people’s happiness.Although a host of people said this is a necessary trend of development, it is rather difficult to recover the environmental damage because of economic development.A case in point is that the smog has seriously influenced people’s life.Fortunately, the government has come to realize this problem, and a series of actions /measures have been taken to improve environment.物质文明和精神文明 material and spiritual civilization 小康社会 a well-off society 一个中国原则 the one-China principle 与时俱进 keep pace with the times 综合国力 overall national strength 贫富分化 disparity between the rich and the poor 社会保障 social security

第三篇：2014英语四级翻译预测题
练习1 • 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。海外企业不仅帮助了中国企业的成长，而且也在合作中获得了收益。中国政府将 继续提供有利的政策和条件，推动中国企 业与国外企业进一步开展合作。
key 1• China will develop its economy further and open itself wider to the outside world, which offers more business opportunities to overseas enterprises.SinceChina’s reform and opening up, Chinese enterprises have been cooperating with overseas enterprises in terms of economy and technology, and have scored great 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.练习2• 狮舞（Lion Dance）是中国最广为流传的民间舞蹈 之一。狮为百兽之首，在中国传统中，狮子被视 为是能带来好运的吉祥物（mascot）。古人将狮 子视作是勇敢和力量的化身，能驱赶邪恶、保护 人类。据记载，狮舞已拥有了2,000多年的历史。在唐代（the Tang Dynasty），狮舞就已经被引入 了皇室。因此，舞狮成为元宵节（the Lantern Festival）和其他节日的习俗，人们以此来祈祷好 运、平安和幸福。
Key 2• The Lion Dance is one of the most widespread folk dances in China.The lion is the king of animals.In Chinese tradition, the lion is regarded as a mascot, which can bring good luck.Ancient people regarded the lion as a symbol of braveness and strength, which could drive away evil and protect humans.The dance has a recorded history of more than 2,000 years.During the Tang Dynasty, the Lion Dance was already introduced into the royal family of the dynasty.Therefore, performing the lion dance at the Lantern Festival and other festive occasions became a custom where people could pray for good luck, safety and happiness.练习3 • 假日经济的现象表明：中国消费者的消费 观正在发生巨大变化。根据统计数据，中 国消费者的消费需求正在从基本生活必需 品转向对休闲、舒适和个人发展的需求。同时，中国人的消费观在蓬勃发展的假日 经济中正变得成熟。因此产品结构应做相 应调整，来适应社会的发展。另一方面，服务质量要改善，以满足人们提高生活质 量的要求。Key 3• The phenomenon of holiday economy shows that Chinese people’s consumption concept is undertaking great changes.According to statistics, the demands of Chinese consumers are shifting from the basic necessities of life to leisure, comfort and personal development.Therefore, the structure of products should be adjusted accordingly to adapt to social development.On the other hand, services should be improved to satisfy people’s demand for an improved quality of life.练习4 • 端午节，又叫龙舟节，是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大 臣（minister）,他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。但最后因为受到诽谤（vilify）而最终投河自 尽。人们撑船到他自尽的地方，抛下粽子，希望鱼儿吃粽子，不要吃屈原的身躯。几 千年来，端午节的特色在于吃粽子（glutinous dumplings）和赛龙舟，尤其是 在一些河湖密布的南方省份。Key 4• The Duanwu Festival, also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan.Qu Yuan was a loyal and highly esteemed minister, who brought peace and prosperity to the state but ended up drowning himself in a river as a result of being vilified.People got to the spot by boat and cast glutinous dumplings into the water, hoping that the fishes ate the dumplings instead of Qu Yuan’s body.For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by glutinous dumplings and dragon boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes.练习5• 2013年6月20日在中国各地，剧估计60万儿童和他们 的老师观看了有宇
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
across China watched a science lesson taught from 300km above the Earth by astronaut Wang
Yaping.Wang is aboard the Tiangong-1 laboratory module with two crewmates, for a two-week
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

请将下面这段中文翻译成英文：
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。
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, competition among 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.自从1978年经济改革以来，中国已经完成了从中央计划经济(centrally planned economy)向市场经济(market based economy)的转变。超过6亿人已经脱离了贫困，但是仍然有超过1.7亿人生活在国际贫困线以下天少于1.25美元。2012年，中国的人均GDP 为12405.67美元，这是30年前的37倍。到2018年，中国的人均 GDP将从世界第90位上升到第75位。然而，这仍然是低于预计的世界平均水平。
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?

There s a growing chorus of complaints in society about the loud music lateat night.If it s near a mall or public square, there is no problem, but whenit s near apartment blocks and disturbs residents, it would be better if thegovernment regulates it, just like in many western countries。
社会越来越多人抱怨晚上吵闹的音乐。我认为如果是在购物中心或者公共广场附近，那没有问题。但是如果是在住宅区附近，打扰到居民时，政府就应该出面管理一下，很多西方国家就是这样做的。

拜托，这些跳舞大妈又没有一晚上都在嗨皮。的确，7点9点那会儿确实会有点吵。但我特别喜欢在舒服的傍晚绕着上海市瞎转悠，看见这些女士们开心地跳舞，虽然她们有时跳得并不好。这是这个城市生活中很有爱的一面。

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!

47.It is absolutely essential to reverse the irrational misuse of nonrenewable resources.For example , fuel-efficient motor vehicles must be developed to reduce oil consumption and alternative energy sources must be found to replace coal.彻底改变对不可再生资源的非理性滥用是绝对有必要的。例如，必须开发节能的机动车减少汽油的消耗量，并且必须找到可替代能源取代煤。
48.While achieving success is easier said than done , persistence does in fact pay off.One of the most important traits
of
a
successful
person
is self-confidence , another is desire , and still another is determination.获得成功说起来比做起来容易，然而坚持不懈确实会有好结果。成功人士的最重要的特征之一是自信，第二是渴望，还有一个是决心。
49.Recognizing a problem is the first step in finding a solution.认识到问题是找到解决办法的第一步。

九 To Be a small Fish in a Big Pond or a Big Fish in a Small Pond?
1.在大企业工作的特点
2.在小企业工作的特点
3.我的选择
Just as there are distinct differences between being a small fish is a big pond and a big fish in a small pond, so it is with working as a subordinate in a large enterprise and presiding in a small firm.With the former, you can derive a deep sense of satisfaction from being a member of a well-known organization such as General Motors, or the Bell Telephone System.You have the opportunities of learning from experienced executives and knowing about the standard working process.With the latter, you have greater responsibilities and your decision may bring immediate effect.Normally you are expose to various experiences and expected to do a great many thing without much help or guidance.Personally I prefer to work in a small enterprise, where my prospect of promotion is good as long as I work hard.To tell the truth , I'd rather become a well-known and important figure within my own small pond.十 Styles of Living
1.有些人愿意和父母居住在一起
2.有些人想自己独立居住
3.我的看法
Some people enjoy living together with their parents after they have grown up.They hold the opinion because , living with parents , they can take better care of their parents and vice versa.Meanwhile , they can turn to their parents for help if they get into trouble or have some difficulties.To them, life in a big family seems to be more enjoyable than that in a small family.Others, however , prefer to live separately.They cherish the idea to be independent of their parents, seek more freedom and wish to have a place of their own, in which they can do what they like.Bedsides , they don't want to be overprotected by their parents but long for chance to face the society by themselves.As to me , I like an independent life style in spite of the fact I love my parents.Different generations have different life styles and values.What one generations likes may not be another generation's fondness.Living separately , each generation can enjoy different value.In addition , by leading an independent life , I can train my character and develop my own ability to deal with things encountered in my life.1.It is indisputable that(无可争辩)there are millions of people who still have a miserable life and have to face the dangers of starvation and exposure.2 No one can deny the fact(没有人能否认)that a person's education is the most important aspect of his life.3.In fact, we have to admit the fact(我们必须承认)that the quality of life is as important as life itself.4.This view is now by more and more people.(正受到越来越多人的质疑)5.The problem of international tourism has caused wide public concern over the recent years.(近些年引起了广泛关注)
6.Despite many obvious advantages of bicycle, it is not without its problem.(但是它也存在它的问题)
7.There is a general debate on the campus today(校园里进行着广泛的争论)over the phenomenon of college or high school students' doing a part-time job.8.According to a recent survey, a growing number of people express a strong desire(根据调查，越来越多的人表达了一种强烈愿望)to take another job or spend more time on their job in order to get more money to support their family.9.There is a growing tendency(呈增长的势头)for parents to ask their extra educational programs over the recent years.10.Although rural emigrants contribute greatly to the economic growth of the cities, they may inevitably bring about many negative impacts.(然而他们也不可避免的带来了一些负面影响)
81.Parents are firmly convinced that, to send their child to kindergartens or nursery schools will have an unfavorable influence on the growth of children.父母们坚定地相信把孩子送到幼儿园对他们的成长不利。
82.However, this idea is now being questioned by more and more experts, who point out that it is unhealthy for children who always stay with their parents at home.然而，这一想法正遭受越来越多的专家的质疑，他们指出，孩子总是呆在家里，和父母在一起，是不健康的。
83.Although parent would be able to devote much more time and energy to their children, it must be admitted that, parent has less experience and knowledge about how to educate and supervise children, when compared with professional teachers working in kindergartens or nursery schools.尽管父母能在他们孩子身上投入更多时间和精力，但是必须承认，与工作在幼儿园的专职教师相比，他们在如何管理教育孩子方面缺乏知识和经验。
84.From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that, although the parents' desire to look after children by themselves is understandable, its disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.通过以上讨论，我们可以得出如下结论：尽管家长想亲自照看孩子的愿望是可以理解的，但是这样做的缺点远大于优点。
85.Parents should be encouraged to send their children to nursery schools, which will bring about profound impacts on children and families, and even the society as a whole.应该鼓励父母将他们的孩子送到幼儿园，这将对孩子，家庭，甚至整个社会产生深远的影响。
86.Many leaders of government always go into raptures at the mere mention of artistic and cultural projects.They are forever talking about the nice parks, the smart sculptures in central city and the art galleries with various valuable rarities.Nothing, they maintain, is more essential than such projects in the economic growth.只要一提起艺术和文化项目，一些政府领导就会兴奋不已，他们滔滔不绝地说着美丽的公园，城市中心漂亮的雕塑，还有满是稀世珍宝的艺术展览馆。他们认为在经济发展中，没有什么比这些艺术项目更重要了。
87.But is it really the case? The information I've collected over last few years leads me to believe that artistic and cultural projects may be less useful than many governments think.In fact, basic infrastructure projects are playing extremely important role and should be given priority.这是真的吗？这些年我收集的信息让我相信这些文化、艺术项目并没有许多政府想象的那么重要。事实上，基础设施建设非常重要，应该放在首位。
88.Those who are in favor of artistic and cultural projects advocate that cultural environment will attract more tourists, which will bring huge profits to local residents.Some people even equate the build of such projects with the improving of economic construction.那些赞成建设文化艺术项目的人认为文化环境会吸引更多的游客，这将给当地居民带来巨大的利益。一些人甚至把建设文化艺术项目与发展经济建设等同起来。
89.Unfortunately, there is very few evidence that big companies are willing to invest a huge sums of money in a place without sufficient basic projects, such as supplies of electricity and water.然而，很少有证据表明大公司愿意把巨额的资金投到一个连水电这些基础设施都不完善的地方去。
90.From what has been discussed above, it would be reasonable to believe that basic projects play far more important role than artistic and cultural projects in people's life and economic growth.通过以上讨论，我们有理由相信在人们的生活和经济发展方面，基础建设比艺术文化项目发挥更大的作用。

2010年12月英语四级经典范文：学习一生的事业
就像植物需要阳光，我们对知识充满了渴求。学习伴随我们成长，让我们感到充实，让我们更加了解生活，让我们能够用所学去帮助别人。你的学习旅程是怎样的?
Learning: a Lifelong Career As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind.①Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food.Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.② Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and reliable warrant of success in times of uncertainty.Once learning stops, vegetation sets in.It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge.On the contrary, learning should be a never ending process, from the cradle to the grave.With the world changing so fast, to cease learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind.What’ s worse, the animal instinct dormant deep in our sub-conscious will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideas, undermining our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character.Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization.③ Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.[224 words] 作文点评
本文首先从正面论证主题，首句点题，并通过对首句的解释进一步说明终生学习的意义。之后作者结合时代变化的特征，用the surest way以及reliable warrant说明了持续学习的现实意义。第二段作者从反面来论证自己的观点，说明停止学习会导致的严重后果。最后用therefore引出全文的结束语，再次重申观点，并与文章题目相呼应。
本文开篇引用As...is to..., so is...to...的经典句型开门见山，将学习对心智的重要性比作食物对身体的重要性，生动形象。行文流畅，并能结合时代特征;首尾呼应，画龙点睛。好文妙译 学习：一生的事业
学习之于心智，就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物，我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地，我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们心智的敏锐，并增长我们的智力。不断的学习像是为我们的前进提供了用之不尽的能量，驱使我们磨砺自身推理、分析和判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中与时俱进的最稳妥的方法，也是在无常变化的时代中求得成功的可靠保证。
一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的惟一场所是种常见的谬误。相反，从生到死，学习应该是一种无终止的历程。由于世界变化日新月异，学习过程停顿几天，就会使人落后。而更为糟糕的是，蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的动物本能就会复活，削弱我们追求高尚理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，并且扼杀我们净化自身人格的追求。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心智的停滞，甚至更糟，使其僵化。因此，为了保持青春永驻，我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。
