篇1：四级作文训练(二)
四级作文训练(二)
8points In our modern social life,there are many examples around us show many people are cheated.Advertisements cheat people,salesmen cheat people,even one's closest friends cheat him or her.So many heartbreaks are heard everyday that we cannot help asking：where is our honest exist?Everybody is taught honest in the primary school or even in the kindergarten.Honesty does good not only to ourseives,but to others as well.If we are honest to others,we will be happier and be in abetter mood.Otherwise,we'll feel guilt at last.To acompany and its advertisement,honesty will bring it more consumer and more profit.If we cheat others,friends will not believe you and they will leave you alone.To acompany,no consumer will buy your product again！
So,as the above is said,it pays to be honest.Let's create amorally outstanding social.
仅在第一段就有那么多的错误和不规范的表达，其余的就不用说了。好在还能扣题，连贯性也过得去。
5pointsWith the development of modern economic and industry,competitive is becoming more and more obvious.At the same time,the performance of dishonest is becoming more and more clearly.
Nowadays,there are many dishonest performance in our society.For example,some people found that he saled goods had past the preservation date.Not throw them away,the revised the preservation date,and saled them again after several day.Another case in the point,a pair of shoes was made from goat.However,in order to sale at ahigh price,the salers would say they were made from cow which has good quality.
From the foregoing,we can see that dishonest does not only harm to yourselves but also harm to others.And it is no use only realize the harmness of dishonest.We should be honest from now on and be honest on our daily life.It is only that people all over the world are honest then our country will be beautiful and wealthy.
2pointsNow in our society,many people are not honest in doing soming.we often can meet with soming happened cause by people who are not honest.For example,Now we take the bus need carry cents own,and when you upstairs the bus,you should put the cent into the money box.Every people do that,but some of the people put the other things instead the cents.For another example,it is more normal that in the exams we can always find some students see others.
I consider that every people should be honest.As apeople,honest should be first,because it can make us to be increase and make our society develop.In doing everything we should be honest all,study,work,life and so on.If you re honest,every people will be friend to you,and who will regard you good people.But if you don't be honest,people must unwilling to trath with you.So if you are want to be agood people,remember honest first.
二.拿到题目先做什么?
一般分为三个步骤：审题、列提纲、动手写
审题
一是许多题目只有几个词，是文章的高度概括，要搞清楚要求写什么，就需要仔细阅读内容提纲甚至求助于指示中其它有关线索。比如这样一个题目Advertisement on TV,这个题目很大，虽然所给的提纲：1,present state 2,reasons 3,my comments把题目的范围缩小了，但还是不能确定reason写什么。好多考生都写了人们为什么喜欢看电视广告。实际上根据指示中your composition should start with the given opening sentence：“Today more and more advertisements are seen on the TV screen”,应当写广告为什么会越来越多地出现在电视上。
二是许多学生缺乏全局观念，缺乏分析和理解所给的几条内容提纲之间的内在联系和与题目的关系的能力，习惯性地按提纲怎么说就怎么写。结果写出来的文章各段之间没有联系，歪曲了题意。如1994年六级作文考试的题目we need to broaden our knowledge所给的三条提纲是：1)科学技术是社会发展不可缺少的，2)社会科学和自然科学互相渗透，3)现代大学生需要广博的知识。如果仔细分析一下就会发现前两条是通过阐述自然科学和社会科学知识的重要性来说明第三条为什么大学生需要广博的知识。但为数不少的考生根本没有认识到这一点。特别在写第二条时不是去写社会科学知识同样重要，而是大谈社会科学与自然科学的相互关系，喧宾夺主，偏了题。
1995年6月的四级作文题Advantages of aJob Interview.所给的`三条提纲是…，很清楚，要求写的是一片论说文，论述找工作面试的好处。但不少考生对题目和提纲不加分析，贸然动笔，竟写了一封应聘求职信，还有的写成一篇面试者和应试者的一篇对话。结果，尽管他们的文章写得较好，都因文不切题，最后得分都是零分。
再举一个例子，题目是What Would happen if There Were No Power?要求学生根据所给的三个段首句写：
1,Ever since early this century,electricity has become an essential part of our modern life.
2,If there were no electric power.
3,Therefore,
但阅卷人员发现，竟有不少考生围绕选举权在现代社会中的重要性大做文章。究其原因，考生没有好好去读题目和段首句。Power有很多意思：政权、权利、能力、动力、力量等。不去推敲要求写的是什么，又错把electricity看成election。结果写得再好，也得不了分。
列提纲
许多同学的作文常犯条理不清、内容混乱的错误，究其原因，多半是没有编列提纲所致。因此，在认真审题之后，就应该列提纲，“磨刀不误砍柴工”，它能够帮助你理清思路，使你的作文层次清楚，主次分明，前后连贯。
提纲既可写成句子，也可写成词组，但是由于时间关系，最好写成词组。我们来看看以“My Best Friend”为题的作文提纲该如何写。
1,I like one of my friends.
2,A.He possesses profound knowledge.
B.He likes supplying everybody.
C.He is quiet and gentle.
3,My best friend's name is“book”.
这帖是继四级作文训练(一)的再看一篇My Ideal Job为题的作文提纲：1,Teaching is my ideal job.
2,Why do Ichoose teaching as my job?
Teaching is learning.
Teaching means freedom and independence.
It offers acertain peace of mind.
3,Nothing can change my mind.
三.如何开头和结尾
文章一般分为引言introduction，正文body和结束语conclusion三部分。其中的引言部分和结束语就形成了文章的引言段和结尾段，而正文部分就是发展段，它既可以是一个段落，也可以是几个段落。
如何开头
引言段的写作方法很多，但由于四级作文的时间和篇幅的限制，常用的写法有以下几种：
1.对立法：先引出其他人的不同看法,然后提出自己的看法或者偏向于某一看法,
适用于有争议性的主题.
例如(e.g)
[1].When asked about.,the vast/overwhelming majority of people say that.But Ithink/view abit differently.
[2].When it comes to.,some people believe that.Others argue/claim that the opposite/reverse is true.There is probably some truth in both arguments/statements,but(I tend to the prefer/latter.)
[3].Now,it is commonly/generally/widely believed/held/acknowledged that.They claim/believe/argue that.But Iwonder/doubt whether.
2.现象法引出要剖析的现象或者问题,然后评论.
e.g
[1].Recently the rise in problem of/(phenomenon of).has cause/
aroused public/popular/wide/worldwide concern.
[2].Recently the issue of the problem of/the phenomenon of.
has been brought into focus.(has been brought to public attention)
[3].Inflation/Corruption/Social inequality.is yet another of the new and bitter truth we have to learn to fa ce now/constantly.
3.观点法--开门见山,直接了当地提出自己对要讨论的问题的看法.
e.g：
[1].Never history has the change of.been as evident as.
Nowhere in the world/China has the issue/idea of.been more visible/
popular than.
[2].Now people in growing/significant numbers are beginning/
coming to realize/accept/(be aware)that.
[3].Now there is agrowing awareness/recognition of the necessity to.
Now people become increasingly aware/conscious of the importance of.
[4].Perhaps it is time to have afresh look at the attitude/idea that.
4.引用法---先引出名人名言或者有代表性的看法,来引出文章要展开论述的观点！
e.g：
[1].“Knowledge is power.”such is the remark made by Bacon.This remark has been shared by more and more people.
“Education is not complete with graduation.”Such is the opinion of a
great American philosopher.Now more and more people share his opinion.
[2].“.”How often we hear such statements/words like theses
/this.
In our own days we are used to hearing such traditional compla

part ⅱ reading comprehension (35 minutes)
directions: there are 4 passages in this part.each passage is followed by so
me questions or unfinished statements.for each of them there are four choices marked a),b),c) and d).you should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding
letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the center.
questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
some radio singals were heard in 1967.they were coming from a point in the sky where there was unknown star.they were coming very regularly,too:about once a seco
nd,if they were controlled by clock.
the scientists who heard the signals did not tell anybody else.they were rather afraid to tell in case they frightened people.the signals were coming from a very small body—no bigger,perhaps than the earth.was that why no light could be seen from it?or were the signals coming from a planet that belonged to some other star?there was no end to the questions,but the scientists kept the news secret.“perhaps there are intelligent beings out there.”they thought,“who are trying to send messages to other planets,or to us?so the news was not given to the newspaper.instead,the scientists studied the signals and searched for others like them...well,all that happened in 1967 and 1968.since then scientists have learnt more about those strange,regular,radio signals.and they have told the story,of course.
the signals do not come from a planet;they come from a new kind of star called a “pulsar””.about a hundred other pulsars have now been found,and most of them
are very like the first one.
pulsars are strong radio stars.they are the smallest but the heaviest stars we know at present.a handful of pulsar would weigh a few thousand tons.their light—if they give much light—is too small for us to see.but we can be sure of this,no intelligent beings are living on them.
21. the radio signals discussed in this passage____.
a.were regular b.were controlled by a clock
c.were heard in 1967 only d.were secret messages
22. the radio singals were sent by____.
a.a satelliteb.a planet
c.a sky body which was unknown at that time
d.intelligent beings who were unknown at that time
23. the scientists did not tell people about the signals because____.
a.the singals stood for secret messages
b.people would ask them too many questions
c.they did not want to frighten people
d.they stood for unimportant messages
24. a pulsar is____.
a. a small heavy star which sends out strong radio signals and cannot be seen
b. a small heavy planet which sends out strong radio signals and cannot be seen

b.pulsar began to send radio singals in 1967.
c.scientists have searched for pulsars for many years but found none.
d.scientists have found many pulsars since 1967.
questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
over vast areas of every continent,the rainfall and vegetation necessary for life are disappearing.already more than 40 percent of the earth's land is desert or
desertlike.about 628 million people—one out of seven—live in these dry regions.in the past,they have managed to survive,but with difficulty.[zz(z]now largely through problems caused by modern life,their existence is threatened by the slow,steady spread of the earth's deserts.
scientists still do not understand all the complex problems of the desert,but there have been many ideas for saving the land.sandi arabia has planted 10 million
trees to help keep the sand from taking over fertile areas.the israelis are aga
in using some of the water collection systems left by the ancient people in the
negev desert.they plan to water their orchards with the extra water.some sahel farmers still raise cattle on their poor farm land,but before the cattle are sold,
they are taken to greener lands in the south to get fat.
26. what is the article mainly concerned?

b.one out of 10 people lives in dry regions.
c.their life in the desert is threatened now by traditional problems.
d.new water wells can solve the problem in africa's desert.
questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
telephone, television, radio, and telegraph all help people communicate with
each other. because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all
over the world. for example, within seconds, people can know the results of an
election in another country. an international football match comes into the homes
of everyone with a television set.news of a disaster such as an earthquake or a
flood can bring help from distant countries within hours, help is on the way. because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travels fast.
how has this speed of communication changed the world? to many people,the world has become smaller. of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. it means that the world seems smaller. two hundred years ago,communication between the continents took a long time. all news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean. in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,it took six weeks for news from europe to reach america.this time difference influenced people's actions. for example, one battle, or fight, in the war of 1812 between england and the united states could have been avoided. a peace agreement had already been signed. peace was made in england, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach america. during these six weeks, the large and serious battle of new orleans was fought. many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed.they would not have died if news had come in time.in the past,communication took much time than it does now.
there was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.
31. news spreads fast because of____.
a.modern transportation b.new technology
c.the change of the world d.a peace agreement
32. according to this passage,____is very important to people in a disaster area.

c.the world is changing its size.
d. the distance between england and america has changed since the war of 1812
34. two hundred years ago,news between the continents was carried____.
a.by telephone and telegraph b.by land
c.by air d.by sea
35. the new orleans battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed____.
a.by both sides b.in time
c.in america d.in england
questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
the concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one.an estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge.
we all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society.[zz)]the structure of american society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health.if we so desire,we can smoke,drink excessively, refuse to wear seat
belts,eat whatever foods we want,and live a completely sedentary life-style without any excuse.the freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society,although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned.personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty.as one example,a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do.a multitude of factors,both inherited and environmental,influence the development of healthrelated behaviors,and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual.however,the decision to adopt a particular health-related behavior is usually one of personal choices.
there are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices.in discussing the moral of personal choice,fries and crapo drew a comparison.[zz(z]they suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide.[zz)]thus,for those individuals
who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life,personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity.
36. the concept of personal choice concerning health is important because____.
a.personal health choices help cure most illnesses
b.it helps raise the level of our medical knowledge
c.it is essential to personal freedom in american society
d.wrong decisions could head to poor health
37. to “live a completely sedentary lifestyle”(para. 1) in the passage means____.”
a.to live an inactive lifeb.to live a decent life
c.to live a life with complete freedom
d.to live a life of vice
38. sound personal health choice is often difficult to make because____.
a.current medical knowledge is still insufficient
b.there are many factors influencing our decisions
c.few people are willing to trade the quality of life for longevity
d.people are usually influenced by the behavior of their friends
39. to knowingly allow oneself to pursue unhealthy habits is compared by fries and crapo to____.
a.improving the quality of one's life
b.limiting one's personal health choice
c.deliberately ending one's life
d.breaking the rules of social behavior
40. according to fries and crapo sound health choices should be based on____.
a.personal decisions b.laws of society

as a human being,one can hardly do without a friend.society is made up of individuals,and making friends is a very important part in our life.friends can give you a lot.first,if you have trouble with some problems,you can consult your good
friends and exchange opinions.thus,you will feel comfortable and encouraged.secondly,if you wish to do some physical exercises,such as playing table tennis,you could play with friends and have a good time.
but what is true friendship?some people think friends are people whom they can play with.in my opinion,a friend in need is a friend indeed.true friendship can encourage you when you are in difficulties.a true friend not only shares with you
your joy and happiness but also your trouble and anxiety.when you need him,he
will give you a hand and spare no efforts.
as far as i'm concerned,i wish to make as many friends as possible.the world is
a big family,and we will feel relaxed in a friendly atmosphere.i wish some day we can all be friends.
篇3：西班牙语专业四级训练题
冠词的形式
西班牙语的冠词，形式极为简单。(不信你翻翻意大利语的冠词，瞬间觉得西语冠词弱爆了。)它分为定冠词和不定冠词。
1、定冠词。定冠词分阴阳性和单复数，分别为：
el, la, los, las
2、不定冠词。不定冠词也分性数，分别为：
un, una，unos, unas.
注意：
1. 从前的专四考试中，unos 和 unas 一般不作为冠词考察。但现在的专四考试变成了选择题，选项里会出现unos, unas. 这个时候需根据上下文来进行判断。unos, unas 有性的变化，意义为“一些”。
2. 中性冠词lo, 与unos, unas类似，以前冠词题里一般不考，但现在可能出现在选项里。需根据上下文判断。比如，专四便考察到中性冠词，原句为：
“pues ______ (6) que crece o progresa no es el buen vivir de la gente, sino el poder de grandes empresas.
这里第(6)题，便要选择lo.
中性冠词Lo的用法，也是一些同学的难点，但这里限于篇幅，我们暂不展开。
NO.02
冠词的用法
西语冠词的用法比较复杂，但老君觉得大家没有必要抱着枯燥的语法书啃，甚至记一些闻所未闻，犄角旮旯里的用法。事实上，我们专四考试里，对于冠词的考察，都相对简单，一般只会考常用的，偏的怪的，基本不考，除非出题人心情不好，或者炒股亏了100W。
总的来讲，冠词无非几条规律：
1、顾名思义，不定指(一个，一位，一本，等)用不定冠词，定指用定冠词。
2、初次提到用不定冠词，再次提到(定指)用定冠词。
3、所指唯一，如地球，用定冠词。
4、现西提到的，de 的前面，如果表所属，加上定冠词，如果表修饰，不加冠词。
5、复数名词表泛指，不填。
6、等等。
但是，背太多这些条条框框是没有用的，背了也背不住，越背越糊涂。这也是老君为什么从来不推荐大家买语法书的原因。太枯燥。因此，下面我们以题目的形式，带大家看一看，它到底怎么考。
篇4：西班牙语专业四级训练题
下面，我们以真题为例，亦即冠词单独考察的最后一年的真题为例，带大家感受一下。
1、(1) construcciones de esa ciudad, por su especial encanto y exotismo (异域风情), reciben (2) turistas provenientes de todas partes de (3) planeta.
2、Era (4) noche de (5) diciembre. Hacía (6) frío tremendo y Carmen canceló (7) cita que había hecho (8) día anterior y se quedó en casa.
3、A las doce llegamos al cabaret (夜总会). Era (9) sala no muy grande donde había unas mesas en torno a (10) espacio vacío. En uno de sus extremos había (11) piano y dos sillas. A (12) piano estaba sentada (13) mujer muy pintada y vestida con (14) traje largo hasta (15) pies. Interpretaba (16) pieza a ritmo lento. Un rato después, llegó (17) hombre de aspecto poco agradable, con gruesas gafas y (18) pelo teñido de rubio. Preguntó por (19) precio de todo y finalmente pidió una copita de (20) licor más barato.
(纯手打，若有个别错误，请见谅。)
下面，我们依次解析一下。
(1) Las. 这道题较为简单，后面有 de esa ciudad 对它进行限定，那座城市的建筑物，定指。为了方便行文叙述，老君给它起个(不规范的)名字，叫“所属定指”。
(2)不填(/). 用复数名词表示泛指。来自各地的游客。注意，这里不是所属定指，后面的provenientes de todas partes 是对它进行修饰，而不是所属关系。
(3)del. 所指唯一，地球，第一无二的事物，使用定冠词。注意，planeta为阳性名词，注意de和el的缩合。
(4) una. 初次提到，泛指，12月的某一天。不定冠词。
(5)不填 (/)。固定用法，表日期时，月份前不加冠词。
(6)un. 初次提到，非定指。
(7)la. 用定语从句的方式，对cita进行限定，定指，定冠词。
(8)el. 前一天，定指。
(9)una. 初次提到，非定指，一个不是很大的厅。
(10)un. 初次提到，非定指。
(11)un. 初次提到，非定指。
(12)Al. 再次提到同一架钢琴，注意缩合。
(13)una. 初次提到，非定指，一个妇女。
(14)un. 初次提到，非定指，穿了一件长的衣服。
(15)los. 人体部位，定指，直到(她自己的)脚。不是泛指，否则就成了散落了一地的猪蹄。。。。
(16)una. 初次提到，非定指。弹奏一曲(请州长夫人演唱)。
(17)un. 初次提到，非定指，来了一个男人。
(18)el. 定指，自己的染色头发。
(19)el. 定指，所有动词的价格。不是所有东西的一个价格。
(20)del. 相对最高级，前面不要忘了定冠词。注意缩合。
综上，这道题共考了9个定冠词，9个不定冠词，2个不填，分布比较平均。其中，有三个考察了缩合，有一个考察了以“a”结尾的阳性名词。所有考点都是基础考点，无偏题怪题。看来出题人心情不错，可能是买房赚了500W。祝贺!

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions:There are 4 passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.?
Passage 1
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. ?
Hardly a week goes by without some advance in technology that would have seemed incredible 50 years ago.And we can expect the rate of change to accelerate rather than slow down within our lifetime.The developments in technology are bound to have a dramatic effect on the future of work.By 2010, new technology will have revolutionized communications.People will be transmitting messages down telephone lines that previously would have been sent by post.Not only postmen but also clerks and secretaries will vanish in a paper-free society.All the routine tasks they perform will be carried on a tiny silicon chip so that they will be as obsolete as the horse and cart after the invention of the motor car.One change will make thousands,if not millions,redundant.?
Even people in traditional professions,where expert knowledge has been the key,are unlikely to escape the effects of new technology.Instead of going to a solicitor,you might go to a computer which is progammed with all the most up-to-date legal information.Doctors,too,will find that an electronic competitor will be able to carry out a much quicker and more accurate diagnosis and recommend more efficient courses of treatment.In education,teachers will be largely replaced by teaching machines far more knowledgeable than any human being.Most learning will take place in the home via video conferencing.Children will still go to school though ,until another

篇7：6月大学英语四级阅读训练
DIGITAL books are changing traditional publishing models everywhere. In America and Britain, the rise of electronic books is the cause. China’s revolution is different.
“I can’t identify any popular literary trend that didn’t originate online,” says Jo Lusby of Penguin China. Although e-readers are still scarce, the internet has greatly affected reading habits. Chinese people increasingly read books on phones, tablets and laptops. People under 30, who are most likely to own such devices, are the most avid readers, says Eric Abrahamsen, a Beijing-based publishing consultant.
originate v. 发源;起源
scarce adj. 缺乏的，不足的;稀有的 adv. 仅仅;几乎不
avid adj. 渴望的;热心的
consultant n. 顾问;咨询者
The result has been an outpouring of mass-market fiction, written (and read) on websites, not in print. Five years ago internet publishers were typically informal, back-room outfits, but Shanda, an online gaming company, seized the commercial opportunity and now owns most of the literary sites. It sells subscriptions by the chapter or book, by the week or month. Online novels start at around five yuan ($0.80) compared with 30 yuan for an average printed volume.
literary sites 文学网站
subscription n. 订阅;认购;捐献
Some of the newly popular online genres, such as romance, exist everywhere. Others could be termed fiction with Chinese characteristics: grave-robbing stories, for example; official corruption fables involving scheming cadres; and time-travel books where 2,000-year-old warriors pop into a contemporary Beijing disco.
grave-robbing stories 盗墓故事
scheming adj. 惯耍阴谋的;诡计多端的
pop into 匆匆走进
Some of this online material makes it into book form. Print sales, dominated by the country’s 580 state-owned publishing houses, are now worth 44 billion yuan ($7 billion). But growth has slowed from 10% a year in 2007 to around 5%, according to Yang Wei of OpenBook, a market-research firm. Like many online start-ups, Shanda is not yet making money out of web books, although revenues are growing.
The internet has also changed the way that books are promoted. China has relatively few bookshops so cultural networking sites such as Douban.com have proved good at targeting new readers. Few writers make much money, online or in print. The handful of stylish novelists who do have become celebrities. Guo Jingming, a 28-year-old with six novels in 2011’s top 20 list, manages a group of young writers whose magazine Top Novel sells 400,000 copies a month. Han Han, a 29-year-old novelist turned racing-car driver, has a popular blog. Mr Han rose to fame cleverly tweaking the authorities without running foul of the censors. Today’s edgy writers, such as Murong Xuecun, can steer around the censors with their online writing, then make necessary cuts in their print editions. Most authors give the censors no trouble. They know where the line is drawn.
handful of 少数
stylish adj. 时髦的;现代风格的
run foul of 与……争吵;同……发生冲突;与……发生纠葛
steer around 绕过
The proliferation of television channels has created a new stable of authors, and books by television hosts populate bestseller lists. Many are self-help titles. Bai Yansong, a state television presenter, shot up the charts with “Are You Happy?”; and the popularity of “Why is our Life so Hard?”, a book by a talk-show host, Lang Xianping, says much about people’s concerns that they are not better off, despite a booming economy.
proliferation n. 扩散;繁殖
a stable of 一大批;一大群
shot up 迅速成长;直线上升
better off 经济状况好的;富裕的
booming economy 繁荣的经济;经济蓬勃发展
Some foreign titles win commercial success. Stieg Larsson’s “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” trilogy has sold more than 100,000 copies in Chinese. Yet publishing is a local affair, and even translated titles may be trumped by more popular Chinese imitations. Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code”, for example, has been outstripped locally by his Chinese counterpart, He Ma, whose ten-part “Tibet Code” unearths ancient Tibetan Buddhist secrets.
trilogy 三部曲
trump v. 胜过 n. 王牌;法宝
outstrip v. 超过;胜过;比…跑得快
counterpart n. 极相似的人或物;配对物
Question time:
1. Why there are less bookstores in China?
2. What kind of novels are most popular in China at the present?
篇8：英语四级阅读考前训练及答案
”Culture shock“ occurs as a result of total immersion (浸没) in a new culture. It happens to ”people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad. “ Newcomers may be anxious because they do not speak the language, know the customs, or understand people's behavior in daily life. The visitor finds that ”yes“ may not always mean ”yes“, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigner may be unsure as to when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The notion of ”culture shock“ helps explain feelings of bewilderment and disorientation. Language problems do not account for all the frustrations that people feel. When one is deprived of everything that was once so familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.
”... when an individual enters a strange culture, he or she is like fish out of water, “ Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to and feel alienated from the native members of the culture. When this happens visitors may want to reject everything about the new environment and may glorify and exaggerate the positive aspects of their own culture. Conversely visitors may scorn their native country by rejecting its values and instead choosing to identify with (if only temporarily) the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to over-identify with the new culture in order to be accepted by the people in it.
◆The expression ”he or she is like fish out of water“ suggests_______.
A. people away from their cultures can hardly survive in a new culture
B. a fish can not survive without water
C. people away from their culture experience mental isolation
D. people away from their culture have difficulties in their studies
◆ In order to identify with the new environment, some people may_______.
A. give an exaggerated picture of their own country
B. criticize the positive aspects of their own country
C. abandon their original beliefs
D. accept a temporary set of values
◆Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the author?
A. Homesickness results in culture shock.
B. A typical symptom of culture shock is confusion.
C. Culture shock is the explanation of anxiety.
D. Culture shock happens to foreign students only.
◆Newcomers may worry about_________.
A. their ignorance of the alien customs
B. their knowledge of ”yes“ in the native language
C. their understanding of friendship
D. their control of their behavior
◆When the foreign visitor is immersed in new problems he finds hard to cope with, he is most likely to feel_______.
A. uninsured B. deprived
C. alienated D. disappointed
答案： C B B A C
篇9：英语四级阅读考前训练及答案
The future population will be older than today, and this in turn will change the patterns of social demands. However, Mexico will still be far from the ”aging societies“ that will most likely prevail (占优势 ) in the industrialized countries. In less than 25 years, the country will have to add almost as much infrastructure as it has already built up to now, simply to maintain services and production at the current levels. This will be a tremendous challenge, although a similar one was faced successfully in the recent past, when available infrastructure was doubled in two decades or so. It is no wonder that much has been said about the need to reduce or preferably halt Mexico's population control which is taken for granted as both good and necessary. It has also gained supporters in the developing world, and Mexico is no exception. But the arguments about population are complicated, as the following discussion illustrates.
Even if Mexico's population reaches 125 million by the year 2010, its population density is still smaller than the 1985 population density of some 50 countries. By international standards Mexico will still not be overpopulated by the year 2010. If wealth is generated by people, the more individuals there are, the greater the wealth that potentially could be generated. Why should Mexico control its population at density levels below those of the richer countries if more population represents the possibility of generating more wealth?
On the other hand, it is often pointed out that once sustainability(支撑力) limits are near or are reached, there are decreasing productivity gains (or,perhaps more accurately, increasing productive losses) , and people become a cost rather than an asset. If we assume that there are sustainability limits and that we are close to reaching these limits at a world level, then it is appropriate to check population growth.
◆According to the passage, the population argument is focused on_______.
A. whether more people are a property or a cost
B. whether Mexico should control its population growth or not
C. whether the density of population in Mexico is large or small
D. what the standard international sustainability limit is
◆ Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?
A. Mexico has stepped into an aging society.
B. It is not necessary for Mexico to control its population.
C. Mexico population is younger than that of developed countries.
D. It is not necessary for Mexico to develop its infrastructure.
◆By ”infrastructure“(Para. 2) the author means_______.
A. buildings
B. the basic framework of a country, such as schools, services, etc.
C. social demands
D. services and production
◆ It may be inferred from the 3rd paragraph that_______.
A. it isn't necessary for Mexico to control its population growth
B. population is likely to grow at a slower pace than in the past
C. the more people there are, the greater the wealth people could generate
D. Mexico should control its population growth because she belongs to the developing countries
◆ To check population growth is necessary when_______.
A. there are decreasing productivity gains
B. there are increasing productivity losses
C. we are close to reaching the sustainability limits at a world level
D. people become a cost
答案： B C B A C
篇10：英语四级阅读理解训练题
【阅读练习】
Until the 1980s, the American homeless population comprised mainly older males. Today, homelessness strikes much younger part of society. In fact, a 25-city survey by the U. S. Conference of Mayors in 1987 found that families with children make up the fastest growing part of the homeless population. Many homeless children gather in inner cities; this transient(变化无常的) and frequently frightened student population creates additional problems ― both legal and educational ― for already overburdened urban school administrators and teachers.
Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from 350,000 to three million. Likewise, estimates of the number of homeless school children vary radically. A U.S. Department of Education report, based on state estimates, states that there are 220,000 homeless school-age children, about a third of whom do not attend school on a regular basis, But the National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that there are at least two times as many homeless children, and that less than half of them attend school regularly.
One part of the homeless population that is particularly difficult to count consists of the “throwaway” youths who have been cast of their homes. The Elementary School Center in New York City estimates that there are 1.5 million of them, many of whom are not counted as children because they do not stay in family shelters and tend to live by themselves on the streets.
Federal law, the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, includes a section that addresses the educational needs of homeless children. The educational provisions of the McKinney Act are based on the belief that all homeless children have the right to a free, appropriate education.
1. It is implied in the first paragraph that ____.
A) the writer himself is homeless, even in his eighties
B) many older homeless residents are going on strike in 25 cities
C) there is a serious shortage of academic facilities
D) homeless children are denied the opportunity of receiving free education
2. The National Coalition for the homeless believes that the number of homeless children is _____.
A) 350,000
B) 1,500,000
C) 440,000
D) 110,000
3. One part of the homeless population is difficult to estimate. The reason might well be ____.
A) the homeless children are too young to be counted as children
B) the homeless population is growing rapidly
C) the homeless children usually stay outside school
D) some homeless children are deserted by their families
4. The McKinney Act is mentioned in this passage in order to show that ___.
A) the educational problems of homeless children are being recognized
B) the estimates on homeless children are hard to determine
C) the address of grade-school children should be located
D) all homeless people are entitled to free education
5. The passage mainly deals with ____.
A) the legal problems of the homeless children
B) the educational problems of homeless children
C) the social status of older males
D) estimates on the homeless population

篇11：大学英语四级口语训练素材
一、英语四级口语素材：Culture
中西文化对比与交流;文化古迹;中华优秀传统文化;了解文化的方式以及好处
Q1：Can you name some traditional Chinese festivals? Do you like them? Why?
Q2：Should a city try to preserve its old, historic buildings or destroy them and replace them with modern buildings?
Q3：Should government give financial support to build museums and theaters? State your opinion and explain why?
这三道题的目的是要求考生陈述出来传统文化的重要性。所以各位在作答的时候，尽量往传统文化重要性去靠近。记得陈述的时候，说出其内在美以及外部影响力。
Traditional cultures should be protected. because first, they serve as a mirror to remind modern people of their past that they should be proud of. Take the Chinese New Year as an example, no one could resist the charm of a family reunion dinner and family members make toasts for each other in order to wish for joy, peace, health and fortune for the next year. Secondly, they can attract visitors from abroad to experience the traditional thing, which is a big support to the tourism industry and the economy. Therefore, it is necessary to bring funding to support traditional culture no matter in what kind of form.
二、英语四级口语素材：Relations Between the Young and Their Parents & People you admire
家庭成员;讲述自己的家庭;家庭生活的改变;与父母一起住的好坏;亲子关系的处理;崇拜的人;如何维系家庭
Q: Describe a person that you look up to as a role model. Explain how this person influenced your life. Include details and examples to support your response.
First, she never gives up her own dream. Under the difficult situations, she keeps pursuing her dream supported by her own strong spirit and she successfully becomes the leader of her country and realizes her goal. She inspires me to realize my own dream of getting a high CET grade.
Second, she is a person with kind-heartedness. She never hesitates to give others a hand when they fall into troubles and helps them go through without asking for any reward. From her, I learn that I should be grateful to those who help me and be ready to help others.
三、英语四级口语素材：Transportation
城市交通状况;交通工具及好处;缓解交通压力;让人满意或不满意的地方
Q：What is the most efficient transportation in your country?
The most efficient transportation in my country, I’d say, is subway. First, it is really convenient for the passengers to arrive at their destinations as it almost covers every corner in our city. And second, compared with bicycle, it has high speed, people don’t need to worry about their time, traffic jam or parking space. What’s more, subway is far more eco-friendly than vehicles. So frankly speaking, subway is the most efficient transportation.
四、英语四级口语素材：Education
高等教育;高等教育对学生的要求;大学排名;大学专业的选择;住宿问题
Q1：What do you think education should be? Should it be a process of learning what is useful for your future life or should it be simply learning for enjoyment? Why?
Q2：If you had the opportunity to change your major, what would you do with it?
Q3：Agree or disagree with the following statement? College education should only be available to people who have done well in secondary school.
In today’s society college education is much more common that it gradually becomes part of the general education. Almost all of the lucrative work positions ask for a bachelor’s degree at least. Hence offering college education to all of the students is the fair thing to do.
Some students might discover their passion for learning or their advantages at a later time. Offering them post-secondary education is one more opportunity for them to study up and get better training. The possibility of entering college is a right each student should have.

在练习四级英语听力的时候，一定要坚持听懂、听会原则， 这样才能够让自己在一遍遍的练习中，掌握其中的发音规律。
4、快速浏览英文选项
如果在四级考试中，可以通过快速的浏览英文听力的选项，了解听力的大致内容，这样在听力的时候，就可以有效地抓住重点。
5、重点发音单词记录
对于一些发音很难把握的单词，一定要给予记录，这样在日后碰到此类的单词时，也能够很准确的分辨。
四级英语听力，其实还是相对来说比较容易的，只要日常的时候多加强训练，也能够很快获取好成绩，前提是一定要多听，只有让耳朵习惯了各种英语发音，这样才能够对自己的听力成绩有所帮助。
如何才能使英语四级的听力提高呢?
一、提高英语听力水平
想要提高英语四级听力水平需要的是一个过程，没有速成办法。如果有人跟你说英语听力可以在几天之内速成，那一定是骗你的!下面我就根据自己的复习经验给你分享一下~
1.扩大词汇量。
很多考生听力听不懂很大一部分原因是单词不过关，即使听到了每一个音节，也无法理解听力内容。所以词汇是基础，乖乖背单词才是王道。
推荐闪过英语《四级词汇闪过》，自带主角光环，分分钟打败所有配角(这是一本针对备考时间不足考生的词汇书)，将大纲词汇进行了划分，重点突出必考词。 备考时间不足，又想要快速闪过四级词汇童鞋们的最爱哦!
词汇的学习可以分为三个阶段：
①快速掌握必考词，2000+的词汇量，亲测20天轻松搞定!
②熟悉基础词和偶考词
③浏览超纲词(了解大意即可)
2.选择适合自己的听力材料(真题为主)
我的听力主要是跟着真题同步资料练习的，感觉效果还不错。真题可以推荐给你哦，就是最近很火的巨微英语《四级真题逐句精解》。这本书主要适用于基础比较薄弱的小可爱，逐词逐句解析真题，非常适合基础薄弱的同学边做真题边补基础。这本真题书不仅可以刷题还有专门的听力技巧讲解和三套听力模拟特训可以做专项训练呢!
3.精听为主，泛听为辅。
泛听：
①利用各种空闲时间，随时随地都可以听，目的是培养语感，增强耳朵敏感度。
②听力资源可以去“巨微英语四六级的微信公众号”里面免费下载，很方便的。
精听：
①结合巨微的听力技巧和三套听力模拟特训，做专项训练。
②需要一个固定的时间，我一般是安排在每天晚上的21:00—22:00之间，因为这个时候是我注意力比较集中的时间。
③一般精听三遍
第一遍：做题;
第二遍：跟读练习;
第三遍：听写练习。
三遍下来明显能感觉到耳朵清晰了很多，效果棒棒哒!!!
二、掌握听力技巧
除了提高自身的听力水平，掌握考试题型，对症下药也很重要哦!大家都知道自开始英语听力题型就发生了改变。针对不同的英语四级听力题型，自然有不同的解题技巧。
1.把握主旨，注重首句
主要考查我们对文章主旨大意的概括理解能力。由于主旨句一般出现在文章的开头，所以其开头部分往往是考查的重点。
新闻报道一般将最重要或者最吸引人的信息集中在首句，而这一句一般就是我们所说的导语(the news lead)，所以，新闻的首句很重要，听到首句就应该对新闻的主要内容有一个大概的了解。
2.新闻特点
(1)注重实效性：新闻听力在原文和选项中都体现出刚发生的感觉，偶尔也会涉及将来发生的动作。
(2)新闻六要素：
①When——新闻发生的时间;
②Where———新闻发生的地点;
③What———新闻描述的具体事件;
④Who——事件中涉及的人物;
⑤Why———事件的起因;
⑥How———事件的相关背景、经过以及结果等。
这六点串联在一起便是一篇新闻报道的主线，所以听到这几个关键词，要重点记录相关信息
三、注重解题技巧(结合巨微的技巧点拨和我自己的经验总结)
做听力题不仅要多练习，还要注重技巧，比如在听力对话中一定要仔细听一些带有转折性的关键词，尤其是but，另外 yet, however, though, whereas, unfortunately, unexpectedly, instead, rather than等转折词也需要特别注意。
这些词语之后的对话内容往往才是正确答案，还有很多关于这方面的技巧我也是从书中技巧篇中学到的，所以在做题的过程中，结合技巧会帮助你提高很多正确率哦。
1、回文再现: 就是写出听力原文，让我们再次回顾听力内容，查缺补漏的过程，让我们知道自己遗漏了什么。
2、听前预测: 我听力基础很弱，以前听的时候根本不知道要听啥，想要全部都听还跟不上。听之前看到这部分，对听力中的一些关键词就会很敏感，比如“are going to”是计划打算，可以猜测他是有一个什么打算;有时做真题就会遇到，完美做对。
3、文章解读: 主要提示我们应该注意的关键点;我之前听听力的感觉就是很懵的状态，跟不上又不知道哪里是重点，现在看了这部分后，就会注意一些关键点，比如形容词最高级后面的内容可能会出现细节题;The first后面肯定还有其它的关键部分，应高度注意。在听的时候这些提示词汇就会很清晰，不会再像以前那样慌乱啦!
4、答案解析: 就是带我们分析选项，注意选项中相同意思的不同说法和无中生有胡乱编造的内容。让我们理解错在哪里，对在哪里，帮助理清思路。还有听力模拟特训3套题，特别适合真题听完之后在最后练习。
篇14：大学英语四级考试翻译训练
【题目】
科学和自然界中一切存在的事物和发生的现象的特点和过程有关。科学包括整个自然界，它精辟地阐述了人类关于各种自然现象是如何彼此联系并如何构成我们所说的宇宙的种种概念的。
科学有许多特性，要了解科学是什么，就得详细地考察一下这些性能和特点。有一些作者断言说科学实际上只是一种方法―科学的方法。这样的定义是过于简单化了。但是科学方法在决定科学知识的性质方面肯定起着重要的作用
【参考译文】
Science is related to all the existing things and the characteristics and process of the phenomena happening in nature.Science contains the whole nature,which develops various penetrating views about human being's conceptions that how naturalization phenomena are related together and how they constitute our so-called universe.
Science has many characteristics.We have to inspect those functions and characteristics in detail if we want to know what the science is.Some authors assert that science in fact is a kind of method-scientific method.This definition is over simplified.But obviously the scientific method plays an important role in deciding the nature of the scientific knowledge.
【考点分析】
科学包括整个自然界，它精辟地阐述了人类关于各种自然现象是如何彼此联系并如何构成我们所说的宇宙的种种概念的。
翻译这个句子时可以处理为逻辑结构清楚的长句，主句就是“科学阐述了种种概念”，然后用which引导一个从句来引出“人类关于各种自然现象是如何彼此联系并如何构成我们所说的宇宙的”这样解释“概念”的短语。
篇15：基础薄弱如何进行英语四级写作训练
基础薄弱如何进行英语四级写作训练
英语四级写作备考可分为四大步骤：
一、背诵：
首先认真研究历年四级写作真题，重点研究2001年6月—2005年12月的11次真题，分析近年来四级写作的出题规律和考试重点，从语言、结构、内容三大层面，认真研读经典写作真题范文：语言方面学习范文中的精彩词汇、词组、句型；结构方面学习范文的.框架结构、内在逻辑、关联词、同义替换和代词替换；内容方面学习范文的论点、论据和论证。同时背诵精彩写作范文，要求滚瓜烂熟、脱口而出、多多益善，扎扎实实提高自己的写作实力。历年英语四级六级真题 >>
二、默写：
背诵熟练之后默写下来，仔细对照原文，会发现你默写的文章与原文有一些语法、拼写、标点的区别，这些区别就是你的写作弱点，学习关键在于针锋突破，不要全面出击。这些弱点正是你在考试中扣分的原因所在，把这些弱点意义克服，分数自然就会提高。
三、中译英：
首先将写作真题范文译为中文，或参考范文的正确译文，然后进行中译英的工作，根据自己的理解把中文译为英文，最后对照英文原文，你会发现你的译文与原文存在较大的差别，这些差别正是你写作低分的症结所在。同样的一个中文句子，仔细对比一下你使用了哪些词汇、词组和句型，原文使用了哪些，这样你的写作水平才会逐渐提高。
四、写作：
进行完上述工作之后，在考前必须进行写作的工作，只有动笔写作，才会发现自己的问题。可以写5—10篇真题或模拟题，模仿自己曾经背诵过的精彩词汇、词组、句型、框架和范文，写出一篇新的文章。最初不要求速度，但考前一定要进行模考，半小时写出一篇120－150词的文章。写完之后仔细修改其中的语言错误，将其改的更加精彩。
英语写作基础不太好的四级考生，必须按照上述步骤严格进行；基础较好的考生学习顺序正好相反，首先写作，直接写作英语四级真题；其次中译英，在研读原文之前，进行中译英的工作，译完对比，找出差距；然后背诵；最后默写。同时可以准备自己的写作框架，应用文和论说文分别形成固定的写法，积累精彩句型。
