New technology links the world as never before.Our planet has shrunk.It?s now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link.And.of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad.In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts.Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks.The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company?s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad.If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent(普遍的).Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.English is still the international language of business.But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language.A second language isn?t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal The employee posted abroad who speaks the country?s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and cam have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly.The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.21.What is the author?s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment? A)Critical.C)Indifferent.B)Prejudiced.D)Positive.22.With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, businesspeople ______.A)have to get familiar with modern technology B)are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations C)are attaching more importance to their overseas business D)are eager to work overseas 23.In this passage, “out of sight and out of mind”(Lines 2-3, Para.3)probably means ____.A)being unable to think properly for lack of insight B)being totally out of touch with business at home C)missing opportunities for promotion when abroad D)leaving all care and worry behind 24.According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today? A)Connections with businesses overseas.B)Ability to speak the client?s language.C)Technical know-how.D)Business experience.25.The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can _______.A)better control the whole negotiation process B)easily find new approaches to meet market needs C)fast-forward their proposals to headquarters D)easily make friends with businesspeople abroad In recent years, Israeli consumers have grown more demanding as they?ve become wealthier and more worldly-wise.Foreign travel is a national passion;this summer alone, one in 10 citizens will go abroad.Exposed to higher standards of service elsewhere, Israelis are returning home expecting the same.American firms have also begun arriving in large numbers.Chains such as KFC, McDonald?s and Pizza Hut are setting a new standard of customer service, using strict employee training and constant monitoring to ensure the friendliness of frontline staff.Even the American habit of telling departing customers to “Have a nice day” has caught on all over Israel.“Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, ?Let?s be nicer,?” says Itsik Cohen, director of a consulting firm.“Nothing happens without competition.”
Privatization, or the threat of it, is a motivation as well.Monopolies(壟斷者)that until recently have been free to take their customers for granted now fear what Michael Perry, a marketing professor, calls “the revengeful(報(bào)復(fù)的)consumer.” When the government opened up competition with Bezaq, the phone company, its international branch lost 40% of its market share, even while offering competitive rates.Says Perry, “People wanted revenge for all the years of bad service.” The electric company, whose monopoly may be short-lived, has suddenly mopped requiring users to wait half a day for a repairman.Now, appointments are scheduled to the half-hour.The graceless El Al Airlines, which is already at auction(拍賣), has retrained its employees to emphasize service and is boasting about the results in an ad campaign with the slogan, “You can feel the change in the air.” For the first time, praise outnumbers complaints on customer survey sheets.26.It may be inferred from the passage that _______.A)customer service in Israel is now improving B)wealthy Israeli customers are hard to please C)the tourist industry has brought chain stores to Israel D)Israeli customers prefer foreign products to domestic ones 27.In the author?s view, higher service standards are impossible in Israel ________.A)if customer complaints go unnoticed by the management B)unless foreign companies are introduced in greater numbers C)if there?s no competition among companies
D)without strict routine training of employees 28.If someone in Israel today needs a repairman in case of a power failure, ________.A)they can have it fixed in no time B)it?s no longer necessary to make an appointment
C)the appointment takes only half a day to make D)they only have to wait half an hour at most 29.The example of El A1 Airlines shows that _______.A)revengeful customers are a threat to the monopoly of enterprises B)an ad campaign is a way out for enterprises in financial difficulty C)a good slogan has great potential for improving service D)staff retraining is essential for better service 30.Why did Bezaq?s international branch lose 40% of its market share?
A)Because the rates it offered were not competitive enough.B)Because customers were dissatisfied with its past service.C)Because the service offered by its competitors was far better.D)Because it no longer received any support from the government.以下信息不可外傳

Part I Writing
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)
1.Y 文章開頭提到experts ponder how best to rebuild the devastated city,并在第三段簡要介紹了重建的幾種方案,隨后文章詳細(xì)地闡述了各種建議,由此可知該句正確。
2.Y 根據(jù)題干中的信息詞Netherlands and Venice 定位到原文第三段。文中關(guān)于前者的描寫是keeping the water at bay,關(guān)于后者是let water flow through the city,由此可知題干表述正確。
3.N 根據(jù)題干中的信息詞canals和flooding 定位到原文第五段,該段提到運(yùn)河的作用是funneling surges,而Those surges are to blame for the flooding,由此可知運(yùn)河與洪災(zāi)是有關(guān)系的故該句錯(cuò)誤。
4.N 根據(jù)題干中的信息詞levees及l(fā)ong-term fate 定位到原文第六段第一句話,可知their long-term fate is unclear,故該句表述錯(cuò)誤。
5.Y 根據(jù)題干中的信息詞basic problem for New Orleans 定位到原文第七段第一句話,可知題干表述與原文相符。
6.Y根據(jù)題干中的信息詞Coast 2050定位到原文第八段,在Coast2050后明確提到Wetland restoration was a key component,可知題干表述正確。
7.NG 根據(jù)題干中的信息詞Coast2050定位到原文倒數(shù)第三段第一句,可得到答案。
8.another meter.根據(jù)題干中的信息詞by2100定位到原文倒數(shù)第三段第一句,可得到答案。
9.piped in from the river.根據(jù)題干中的信息詞another ambitious plan 定位到原文倒數(shù)第三段第二句,可得到答案。
10.not yet clear.根據(jù)題干的中的信息詞decisions和reconstruction 定位到倒數(shù)第二句,可知關(guān)于城市的重建方案仍無定論。
Part IV Reading Comprehension Section A
47.N 填入該空格的應(yīng)為非謂語動(dòng)詞或形容詞,選項(xiàng)中和with搭配的非謂語動(dòng)詞有 associated 和 balanced,結(jié)合句意“它(藍(lán)色)也是一種最常與指揮和權(quán)威想________的顏色”,可知N最符合文意。
48.A 由下句 Blue and turquoise are represented by the Islamic religion,,并集合空格所在句的結(jié)構(gòu),可知A符合文意。
49.F 由上文提到的“藍(lán)色和青綠色代表了伊斯蘭宗教”,可知藍(lán)色應(yīng)該是清真世界中主要的顏色,故F符合文意。
50.D 分析句子結(jié)構(gòu),該處應(yīng)填入動(dòng)詞,再結(jié)合常識(shí),可知藍(lán)天和水包圍著人類,故D符合文意。
51.C 分析句子結(jié)構(gòu),該處應(yīng)填入一個(gè)形容詞,思想中能和peaceful 在意義和風(fēng)格上并列的只有C,refreshing 意為“使人心曠神怡的”。
52.G 既然下文說藍(lán)光能使人的神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)平靜下來,那么結(jié)合常識(shí)可知人的血壓也會(huì)相應(yīng)降低,故G符合文意。
53.H 由上文可知調(diào)配不當(dāng)?shù)纳钏{(lán)色也回令人不舒服,只有和其他暖色平衡,才不會(huì)顯得冷且枯燥,選項(xiàng)中H符合文意。
54.I 選空應(yīng)填入一個(gè)名詞,由句意“輕柔的藍(lán)色能使我們感覺寧靜,能遠(yuǎn)離一天的忙碌和________”來看選項(xiàng),I(活動(dòng))最符合文意。
55.M 該空應(yīng)填入第三人稱單數(shù)的動(dòng)詞,選項(xiàng)中只有M符合,該句意為“添加綠色和紅色能提高藍(lán)色濃度”。
56.J 該空應(yīng)填入一個(gè)名詞。空格之前提到了藍(lán)色的臥室和藍(lán)色的浴室,空格后又出現(xiàn)了of your living space,所以空格處要填一表空間的詞,這一quieter 空間將是living space 的一部分,J最符合文意。
Section B
Passage One
57.C 細(xì)節(jié)題。由文章第一段第二句所說的with the shops so crowded and the staff so busy 可知,對(duì)扒手來說一月份是偷東西的大好時(shí)機(jī)是因?yàn)樯痰旰軗頂D,而且店員很忙碌,所以C正確。原文雖然提到了干擾項(xiàng)D 的內(nèi)容,但那只是對(duì)問題的重復(fù),并不是答案。
58.B 推斷題。文章第三,四段指出,懸掛在天花板上的小球用于拍攝小偷作案時(shí)的情景,而拍有偷竊情景的錄像帶可以用做指正小偷的證據(jù),所以B正確。雖然這些小球是用來拍攝犯罪場景的,但小球本身并不能作為證據(jù)指控扒手,故排除強(qiáng)干擾項(xiàng)D。
59.D 推斷題。文章第四段提到Selfridges百貨商店以拍攝到的錄像帶為證據(jù)成功指控了扒手,最后總結(jié)說這是一件重要的判斷案件,由此推斷,這種證據(jù)(錄像帶)被法庭接受是該案件的重要性之所在,所以D正確。
60.A 推斷題。文章倒數(shù)第二段最后一句指出,偷香水的女人不可能看到針孔攝像機(jī)在拍她,但她能感覺到有人在看著她,由此推斷,女人可能猜到了掛在天花板上的小球的作用,所以A正確。偷香水的女人并不確定她是否被發(fā)現(xiàn)了,她只是覺得有攝像機(jī)她就有可能被拍到,因而排除D。
61.B 推斷題。結(jié)合文章最后兩段可知,那個(gè)女人雖然有偷香水的企圖,但因?yàn)榭吹搅藪煸谔旎ò迳系男∏虿⒉碌搅怂淖饔茫瑥亩械胶ε?,才又把香水放了回去,所以B正確。
Passage Two
62.B 細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第一段第三,四句指出,巨齒鯊一般被認(rèn)為生活在一百萬到五百萬年前,它們長52英尺,下顎至少7英尺寬;該段最后一句指出,幾乎沒有人相信巨齒鯊沒有滅絕而只是遷到了深海生活,即這一觀點(diǎn)并不為大眾所接受,故選B。本題要注意題干中的commonly一詞。
63.C 細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第二段后半部分指出某些古老的海底生物,因?yàn)槿藗冋也坏剿鼈兯跃驼J(rèn)為它們已經(jīng)滅絕了,實(shí)際上它們?nèi)匀淮嬖?,接著列舉了Coelacanth為例,故選C。
64.D 細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第三段第一句指出,為了追蹤蘇聯(lián)的潛水艇,美國海軍在20世紀(jì)60年代在世界范圍內(nèi)布下了水下擴(kuò)音器,由此可知D正確。
65.A細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第三段第六。七句指出,從美國海軍錄制的聲音中可以聽到一個(gè)奇怪的、威力無比的動(dòng)物的聲音,由此可知,A正確。文章并未明確指出該聲音是由什么動(dòng)物發(fā)出的,故應(yīng)排除B、C、D。
66.C 推斷題。A(科學(xué)家的發(fā)現(xiàn)總在改變?nèi)藗兊挠^念),B(還有很多秘密未被發(fā)現(xiàn)),這兩項(xiàng)并不能從本文中推斷出來,故排除;D(“深海聲道”能傳播聲波并使其不受干擾),由第三段第三句可知,是聲道的溫度和壓力能傳播聲波并使其不受干擾,故排除D;本文開篇第二句Or is it?提出了對(duì)巨齒鯊滅絕一說的質(zhì)疑。末段倒數(shù)第四句Could it be Megalodon? 暗示Bloop有可能是巨齒鯊發(fā)出的,所以C(巨齒鯊仍然生活在深海)正確。Part V Cloze
67.B 慣用搭配題。本句意為“如今,汽車是全美最普遍的交通____。”再結(jié)合下一句中的as a means of everyday transportation 可知,B正確。搭配 means of transportation 意為“交通工具”。

70.A 詞義辨析題。trip意為“旅行”,尤指以工作和娛樂為目的的短途旅行,所以A正確。work意為“工作”,business意為“買賣”,travel意為“旅行,尤指長途旅行,均不符合句意。
71.A 詞義辨析題。buy意為“購買sell意為“出售”,see意為“看見”,集合 句意及下文提到的price可知,A正確。
72.D 詞義辨析題。結(jié)合句意,此處意為“最近生產(chǎn)的”,即:recently made,所以D正確。quickly意為“快速地”,rapidly意為“迅速地”,regularly意為“有規(guī)律地”,都不合句意。
73.B 介詞用法題。up to意為“到(某個(gè)數(shù)量)”,所以B正確。
74.D 詞義辨析題。raise意為“提高”,make意為“制作”,reduce意為“減少”,improve意為“改進(jìn)”。結(jié)合空格后的內(nèi)容可知,空格處應(yīng)填入能與賓語their products and work efficiency相搭配的動(dòng)詞的現(xiàn)在分詞,此處意思為“提高他們的查品和工作效率”,故選D。
75.C 詞義辨析題。結(jié)合句意可知,該句要表達(dá)的意思是 “一般家庭的年收入”所以C正確。
76.C 詞義辨析題。由句中的increase和than可知,空格處應(yīng)填入副詞的比較級(jí),再結(jié)合句意可知,C正確。
77.D 詞義辨析題。bring意為“帶來”,obtain意為“獲得”,have意為“擁有”,purchase意為“購買”,此句意為“買一輛新車僅占一個(gè)家庭總收入的少部分”,所以D正確。
78.A 詞義辨析題。part意為“部分”,half意為“一半”number意為“數(shù)量”side意為“旁邊”,結(jié)合句中的 take a...of可知,A正確。take a part of在本句中意為“占……的一部分”。
79.B 詞義辨析題。clearly意為“明顯地”,proportionally意為“按比例地”,obviously意為“顯然地”,suddenly意為“突然地”,此處意為“顯然,在1951年一般家庭要花8.1個(gè)月的收入才能買一輛新車”,所以B正確。
80.A 詞義辨析題。由上文提及的 the yearly income of the average family,再結(jié)合句意可知,A正確。
81.C 詞義辨析題。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中spend和 cost 都可以表示“花費(fèi)”,但只有cost能以物為主語,指某物花費(fèi)某人多少錢,所以C正確。
82.A 詞義辨析題。本段講的都是普通幾聽花費(fèi)多少月收入來買車,所以A正確。
83.B 詞義辨析題。結(jié)合表轉(zhuǎn)折的 in addition 及句意可知,1975年產(chǎn)的汽車在技術(shù)上優(yōu)于以前的款型,所以B正確。
84.C 詞義辨析題。run意為“奔跑”,notice意為“注意”,influence意為“影響”,discussion意為“討論”,此處意為“汽車的影響延伸到經(jīng)濟(jì)”,所以C正確。
85.B 邏輯銜接題。分析句意可知,前后兩部分的因果關(guān)系,后面是因,前面是果,所以應(yīng)選能引導(dǎo)愿意狀語從句的詞,故選B。
86.C 慣用搭配題。keep their cars running屬于 keep sth.doing 這個(gè)固定動(dòng)詞短語,意為“保持……繼續(xù)進(jìn)行”,所以C正確。
Part VI Translation
87.all the written materials be stored into the hard disk of computers
根據(jù)英語的語法規(guī)則,表示“要求、命令、建議”等意思的動(dòng)詞在接賓語從句時(shí),從句的謂語動(dòng)詞要用should+動(dòng)詞原形或直接用動(dòng)詞原形來表示虛擬語氣。
88.If I were you
有句意可知“如果我是你”表示的是一種假設(shè)的情況,故用 if 引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句來表示虛擬語氣。用 if 一道條件狀語從句表虛擬時(shí),如果表示現(xiàn)在的情況,謂語動(dòng)詞要用過去式(be 動(dòng)詞用were);如果表示將來的情況,謂語動(dòng)詞要用 would(could等)或were to+ 動(dòng)詞原形的形式。
89.postponing the conference to the end of this quarter
在這句話中,mind作動(dòng)詞,意為“介意,在乎”,其后應(yīng)跟 dong 的形式。另外,應(yīng)注意“季度”的英文表達(dá)是 quarter。
90.With various factors considered
已給出的部分句子結(jié)構(gòu)是完整的。所以中文部分可譯成短語或從句來作整句的狀語。由于主句用的是被動(dòng)語態(tài),并沒有明確指出施動(dòng)者,所以所譯的部分最好比買內(nèi)使用含有施動(dòng)者的主動(dòng)句形式。在次可使用介詞with來引導(dǎo)這一結(jié)構(gòu),而“考慮”和“因素”之間是動(dòng)賓關(guān)系,所以應(yīng)使用動(dòng)詞的過去分詞來表示被動(dòng)。
91.After having his hair cut
待譯部分強(qiáng)調(diào)的是“理發(fā)完成”這個(gè)結(jié)果,而非理發(fā)的執(zhí)行者,故可用 have sth.done 的結(jié)構(gòu)。還應(yīng)注意have sb.do sth.這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu),也意為“讓某人做某事”,但此時(shí),要指出動(dòng)作的發(fā)出者是誰。

20年前,很多人對(duì)創(chuàng)業(yè)者(entrepreneur)的態(tài)度是不理解和不信任。但是現(xiàn)在,這個(gè)形勢已經(jīng)發(fā)生了根本的變化。不僅人們對(duì)創(chuàng)業(yè)者的態(tài)度發(fā)生了變化,同時(shí)在政策上有很多扶持,也有很多的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)來表彰創(chuàng)業(yè)者。現(xiàn)在如果一個(gè)有志青年去創(chuàng)業(yè),他會(huì)受到很多贊許的目光,我們會(huì)為他鼓勁、加油。一些扶持政策也會(huì)幫助他成功創(chuàng)業(yè),在社會(huì)輿論環(huán)境上,方方面面都給現(xiàn)在的創(chuàng)業(yè)者提供了一個(gè)非常好的一個(gè)平臺(tái)。

請(qǐng)將下面這段中文翻譯成英文:
中國土地廣闊,人口眾多。盡管全國都講漢語,但是不同地區(qū)的人說漢語的方式不同,這被稱為方言。方言一般被稱為地方話,是漢語在不同地區(qū)的分支,只在特定地區(qū)使用。漢語方言非常復(fù)雜。它們有以下三方面不同:發(fā)音、詞匯和語法。發(fā)音的區(qū)別最為顯著。2000多年前,中國人發(fā)現(xiàn)社交時(shí)應(yīng)該使用同一的語言。和方言相比,普通話能被所有人理解。普通話有利于不同種族、地區(qū)人民之間的信息傳遞和文化交流。
參考譯文:
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.詞句點(diǎn)撥:

中國五年前根本沒有高速鐵路。但是現(xiàn)在高鐵列車(high-speed trains)的票經(jīng)常很快就售罄,盡管發(fā)車間隔比較短。人們能夠很方便地以兩倍于美國火車最髙速的速度在全國周游。高速鐵路系統(tǒng)的運(yùn)菅非常成功,它運(yùn)載的乘客是全國民航(civil aviation)系統(tǒng)運(yùn)載的乘客的兩倍。中國有世界上最先進(jìn)的、低排放的快速運(yùn)輸系統(tǒng)之一,而做到這一點(diǎn)僅僅用了五年。
參考譯文:
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.詞句點(diǎn)撥
1.但是現(xiàn)在高鐵列車的票經(jīng)常很快就售罄,盡管發(fā)車間隔比較短“售罄”:可譯為sell out,意為“賣完了,賣光了”;“發(fā)車間隔”譯為departure interval。
2.人們能夠很方便地以兩倍于美國火車最高速的速度在全國周游:“以...的速度”可譯為at a speed...,speed意為“速度”“;兩倍于”即“是...的兩倍”,可譯為double,也可譯為twice。
3.高速鐵路系統(tǒng)的運(yùn)營非常成功,它運(yùn)栽的乘客是全國民航系統(tǒng)運(yùn)載的乘客的兩倍:“運(yùn)栽”可用carry來表示?!氨稊?shù)+as+many/much/large等形容詞+(比較的內(nèi)容)+as”為英語中表達(dá)倍數(shù)時(shí)常用的結(jié)構(gòu),中間的形容詞根據(jù)比較的內(nèi)容來定,如比較大小則用as large as,表示“是...的兩倍大”則為twice as large as。
如今,越來越多的大學(xué)生抱怨很難找到好工作。造成這一現(xiàn)象的原因如下:首先,大學(xué)生把在校的大多數(shù)時(shí)間都用在了專業(yè)學(xué)科學(xué)習(xí)上,只有當(dāng)他們開始找工作的時(shí)候,才意識(shí)到自己缺乏必要的職業(yè)培訓(xùn)。其次,大學(xué)生之間的競爭也越來越激烈,這導(dǎo)致任何一名大學(xué)生找到工作的機(jī)會(huì)都變小了。因此,強(qiáng)烈建議大學(xué)生在課余時(shí)間做一些兼職工作,以積累相關(guān)的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)。
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.自從1978年經(jīng)濟(jì)改革以來,中國已經(jīng)完成了從中央計(jì)劃經(jīng)濟(jì)(centrally planned economy)向市場經(jīng)濟(jì)(market based economy)的轉(zhuǎn)變。超過6億人已經(jīng)脫離了貧困,但是仍然有超過1.7億人生活在國際貧困線以下天少于1.25美元。2012年,中國的人均GDP 為12405.67美元,這是30年前的37倍。到2018年,中國的人均 GDP將從世界第90位上升到第75位。然而,這仍然是低于預(yù)計(jì)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)”這個(gè)詞被用來指那些在二十八九歲,甚至更大年齡仍未結(jié)婚的女性。有些人認(rèn)為“剩女”是需要認(rèn)真對(duì)待的社會(huì)力量,而另一些人則主張這個(gè)詞應(yīng)被視為褒義詞,意思是“成功女性”。據(jù)2010年的中國婚姻調(diào)查(Chinese National Marriage Survey)報(bào)道,90%的男人認(rèn)為女人應(yīng)該在27歲之前結(jié)婚。在中國,大部分“剩女”都是受過良好教育的中產(chǎn)階級(jí)。跟以前幾代人相比,如今的女性更加自由,更能夠獨(dú)立生活。
參考譯文:
“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.絲綢之路(the Silk Road)是歷史上連接中國和地中海的一條重要貿(mào)易路線。因?yàn)檫@條路上的絲綢貿(mào)易占絕大部分,所以在1877年它被德國的一位地理學(xué)家命名為“絲綢之路”。這條古道從長安開始,經(jīng)過河西走廊(the Hexi Corridor),到達(dá)敦煌后分成三條:南部路線,中部路線和北部路線。這三條路遍布新疆維吾爾自治區(qū)(Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region),然后擴(kuò)展到巴基斯坦(Pakistan),印度,甚至羅馬。
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.中國將進(jìn)一步發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)、擴(kuò)大開放,這對(duì)海外企業(yè)(enterprises)意味著更多的商機(jī)。改革開放以來,中國企業(yè)與海外企業(yè)一直積極開展經(jīng)濟(jì)技術(shù)合作,并取得了巨大成就。海外企業(yè)不僅幫助中國企業(yè)的成長,而且也在合作中取得了收益。中國政府將繼續(xù)提供有力的政策和條件,推動(dòng)中國企業(yè)與國外企業(yè)進(jìn)一步開展合作。
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.在中國,廣場舞非常受中老年婦女們的歡迎,在城市廣場或開闊的地方你經(jīng)??梢砸姷剿齻冑u力做動(dòng)作的身影。但因其噪音大又?jǐn)_民,很多人對(duì)此頗有怨言。你認(rèn)為廣場舞擾民嗎?

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。

有人說,單詞是做好閱讀的關(guān)鍵;然而這并不意味著只要弄懂單詞就行了;閱讀理解,還有一個(gè)關(guān)鍵就是:讀懂句子,掌握各個(gè)句子之前的邏輯關(guān)系,這樣才能順利的理解文章的意思。下面就讓我們一起看看閱讀中??嫉倪壿嬯P(guān)系吧!
首先是我們最熟悉的因果關(guān)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
因果關(guān)系除了傳統(tǒng)意義上的顯性因果表達(dá)詞外,隱性的因果同樣是不可忽略的一個(gè)重要部分。
隱性因果:
A 導(dǎo)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.在這段話中,有l(wèi)ead to表示了導(dǎo)致的意思,即結(jié)果,而so that更進(jìn)一步表示了后面的結(jié)果,所以可以充分判定這段話有因果關(guān)系的邏輯。
B 由?而來(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.”
在這段話中,根據(jù)result from可以推斷出有因果關(guān)系,那如果是解釋句子題時(shí),選項(xiàng)中有因果關(guān)系就可以優(yōu)先考慮。
C 反映,體現(xiàn)(果-因):reflect、present、demonstrate、suggest、imply
D 考慮到:given、considering、in view of、thanks to、according to
He succeeded thanks to(in view of)his effort.E 依賴于:rely on、depend on、resort to
He resorted to books when he had problems.F 條件關(guān)系:when、once、as soon as、As long as
As soon as he got the money, he would leave the country at once.G 分詞短語,不定式做狀語:Failing in the final exam, she cried.在漫長的30分鐘四級(jí)聽力中,最怕的就是撿了芝麻,丟了西瓜。最重要的信息經(jīng)常會(huì)因?yàn)橐粫r(shí)疏忽而丟掉分?jǐn)?shù)。所以,在四級(jí)聽力中,一定要抓住以下這七類關(guān)鍵詞!
一、轉(zhuǎn)折性詞匯
學(xué)會(huì)聽轉(zhuǎn)折詞匯,如yet, however, though, whereas, unfortunately, unexpectedly, instead, rather than, other than, to be frank, frankly speaking, to tell you the truth,etc.二、邏輯類詞匯
表原因:because, because of, for, as, due to, owing to, in that, now that, according to;
表結(jié)果:therefore, so, as a result, consequently, eventually;
表遞進(jìn):apart from, in addition, furthermore, what's more, moreover,etc.三、最高級(jí)詞匯
形容詞和副詞的最高級(jí)最需要關(guān)注,如most importantly, the most popular...the biggest of...四、事實(shí)羅列詞匯
在諸如actually, in fact, as a matter of fact,etc.這些詞匯后可能是關(guān)鍵的考點(diǎn)
五、序數(shù)詞
如the first, firstly and finally
六、情態(tài)動(dòng)詞
如sb.has got to, can , could, may, might, need,should, ought to,etc
七、重要形容詞
表示重要的詞本身就很重要呢,如important, crucial, chief,major,significant, the only, unique, essential, necessary, vital, etc.四級(jí)作文常用的70個(gè)基本術(shù)語,考前趕緊背下來吧!

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.預(yù)測十九
