【范文】
Helping strangers has always been considered as a treasured virtue of mankind.We need help from others throughout our life, whenever we travel to other places or stay at home.On the other
hand, helping others can make us happy.We feel great joy when we are trusted, needed and able to give a hand.However, some people are cautious when it comes to helping strangers.They say that helping others involves risks of getting hurt or cheated.Lending a hand to a stranger often puts us in a vulnerable position for it means trusting someone we do not even know.Moreover, there are times when we have physical limitations.For instance, we can‘t swim but a
girl is drowning, what should we do? If we are blind to that limitation, giving a hand would conversely take our life.In my opinion, we should still offer what we can do to help those needed strangers.Meanwhile, we should beware of getting cheated and use our common sense to tell whether the strangers are real needed people or just professional cheats.unusual, Detecting we should anything defend ourselves or turn to the police.

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,

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
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

City Problems
Nowadays, millions of migrant workers flock into cities in search of jobs and better living.However, with the sharp rise in the urban population, many problems arise in the development of cities.Firstly, cities become more and more crowded, putting much pressure upon transportation, housing, sanitation, education, employment and so on.City services and facilities have been strained to a breaking point.Secondly, a growing number of private cars emit a huge amount of carbon dioxide, leaving the air mercilessly polluted.What is more, the city is also threatened by an increase in crime.There is not a single day passing without the report of someone being robbed, kidnapped or even murdered.Last but not least, city-dwellers are not only separated from the nature but also isolated from each other, even not knowing name of their next-door neighbor.All these problems have harmed the attractiveness of the city.More people may seek to live in the suburbs if there isn't any improvement.Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)

48.A 由下句 Blue and turquoise are represented by the Islamic religion,,并集合空格所在句的结构,可知A符合文意。
49.F 由上文提到的“蓝色和青绿色代表了伊斯兰宗教”,可知蓝色应该是清真世界中主要的颜色,故F符合文意。
50.D 分析句子结构,该处应填入动词,再结合常识,可知蓝天和水包围着人类,故D符合文意。
51.C 分析句子结构,该处应填入一个形容词,思想中能和peaceful 在意义和风格上并列的只有C,refreshing 意为“使人心旷神怡的”。
52.G 既然下文说蓝光能使人的神经系统平静下来,那么结合常识可知人的血压也会相应降低,故G符合文意。
53.H 由上文可知调配不当的深蓝色也回令人不舒服,只有和其他暖色平衡,才不会显得冷且枯燥,选项中H符合文意。

Section B
Passage One
57.C 细节题。由文章第一段第二句所说的with the shops so crowded and the staff so busy 可知,对扒手来说一月份是偷东西的大好时机是因为商店很拥挤,而且店员很忙碌,所以C正确。原文虽然提到了干扰项D 的内容,但那只是对问题的重复,并不是答案。
58.B 推断题。文章第三,四段指出,悬挂在天花板上的小球用于拍摄小偷作案时的情景,而拍有偷窃情景的录像带可以用做指正小偷的证据,所以B正确。虽然这些小球是用来拍摄犯罪场景的,但小球本身并不能作为证据指控扒手,故排除强干扰项D。
59.D 推断题。文章第四段提到Selfridges百货商店以拍摄到的录像带为证据成功指控了扒手,最后总结说这是一件重要的判断案件,由此推断,这种证据(录像带)被法庭接受是该案件的重要性之所在,所以D正确。
60.A 推断题。文章倒数第二段最后一句指出,偷香水的女人不可能看到针孔摄像机在拍她,但她能感觉到有人在看着她,由此推断,女人可能猜到了挂在天花板上的小球的作用,所以A正确。偷香水的女人并不确定她是否被发现了,她只是觉得有摄像机她就有可能被拍到,因而排除D。
61.B 推断题。结合文章最后两段可知,那个女人虽然有偷香水的企图,但因为看到了挂在天花板上的小球并猜到了它的作用,从而感到害怕,才又把香水放了回去,所以B正确。
Passage Two
62.B 细节题。文章第一段第三,四句指出,巨齿鲨一般被认为生活在一百万到五百万年前,它们长52英尺,下颚至少7英尺宽;该段最后一句指出,几乎没有人相信巨齿鲨没有灭绝而只是迁到了深海生活,即这一观点并不为大众所接受,故选B。本题要注意题干中的commonly一词。
63.C 细节题。文章第二段后半部分指出某些古老的海底生物,因为人们找不到它们所以就认为它们已经灭绝了,实际上它们仍然存在,接着列举了Coelacanth为例,故选C。
64.D 细节题。文章第三段第一句指出,为了追踪苏联的潜水艇,美国海军在20世纪60年代在世界范围内布下了水下扩音器,由此可知D正确。
65.A细节题。文章第三段第六。七句指出,从美国海军录制的声音中可以听到一个奇怪的、威力无比的动物的声音,由此可知,A正确。文章并未明确指出该声音是由什么动物发出的,故应排除B、C、D。
66.C 推断题。A(科学家的发现总在改变人们的观念),B(还有很多秘密未被发现),这两项并不能从本文中推断出来,故排除;D(“深海声道”能传播声波并使其不受干扰),由第三段第三句可知,是声道的温度和压力能传播声波并使其不受干扰,故排除D;本文开篇第二句Or is it?提出了对巨齿鲨灭绝一说的质疑。末段倒数第四句Could it be Megalodon? 暗示Bloop有可能是巨齿鲨发出的,所以C(巨齿鲨仍然生活在深海)正确。Part V Cloze
67.B 惯用搭配题。本句意为“如今,汽车是全美最普遍的交通____。”再结合下一句中的as a means of everyday transportation 可知,B正确。搭配 means of transportation 意为“交通工具”。

70.A 词义辨析题。trip意为“旅行”,尤指以工作和娱乐为目的的短途旅行,所以A正确。work意为“工作”,business意为“买卖”,travel意为“旅行,尤指长途旅行,均不符合句意。
71.A 词义辨析题。buy意为“购买sell意为“出售”,see意为“看见”,集合 句意及下文提到的price可知,A正确。
72.D 词义辨析题。结合句意,此处意为“最近生产的”,即:recently made,所以D正确。quickly意为“快速地”,rapidly意为“迅速地”,regularly意为“有规律地”,都不合句意。

81.C 词义辨析题。四个选项中spend和 cost 都可以表示“花费”,但只有cost能以物为主语,指某物花费某人多少钱,所以C正确。
82.A 词义辨析题。本段讲的都是普通几听花费多少月收入来买车,所以A正确。
83.B 词义辨析题。结合表转折的 in addition 及句意可知,1975年产的汽车在技术上优于以前的款型,所以B正确。

Part VI Translation
87.all the written materials be stored into the hard disk of computers
根据英语的语法规则,表示“要求、命令、建议”等意思的动词在接宾语从句时,从句的谓语动词要用should+动词原形或直接用动词原形来表示虚拟语气。
88.If I were you
有句意可知“如果我是你”表示的是一种假设的情况,故用 if 引导的条件状语从句来表示虚拟语气。用 if 一道条件状语从句表虚拟时,如果表示现在的情况,谓语动词要用过去式(be 动词用were);如果表示将来的情况,谓语动词要用 would(could等)或were to+ 动词原形的形式。
89.postponing the conference to the end of this quarter
在这句话中,mind作动词,意为“介意,在乎”,其后应跟 dong 的形式。另外,应注意“季度”的英文表达是 quarter。
90.With various factors considered
已给出的部分句子结构是完整的。所以中文部分可译成短语或从句来作整句的状语。由于主句用的是被动语态,并没有明确指出施动者,所以所译的部分最好比买内使用含有施动者的主动句形式。在次可使用介词with来引导这一结构,而“考虑”和“因素”之间是动宾关系,所以应使用动词的过去分词来表示被动。
91.After having his hair cut
待译部分强调的是“理发完成”这个结果,而非理发的执行者,故可用 have sth.done 的结构。还应注意have sb.do sth.这个结构,也意为“让某人做某事”,但此时,要指出动作的发出者是谁。
