2015 年 6 月大学英语四级考试真题(一)答案与详解 Part Ⅰ Writing 审题思路 这是一篇四级考试中常见的议论文。此次通过漫画所呈现出的话题 phone (手机)是考生日常生活中 熟悉 的话题,因此写起来并不难。考生应该将重点放在第二段阐述手机与日常学习的关系上。联系实际分 析可知二 者关系为:手机为日常学习带来了便利条件,但不能完全取代校园学习。 写作提纲 一、提出观点:提出观点:手机在学习中虽然重要但并非必不可少(play an important but not indispensable role) 二、论证观点:1、学生自身应具有很好的知识储备(have a good command of) 2、我们的个人知识(personal knowledge)促进了手机的发展 三、总结观点:l、过度依赖手机弊大于利(over-dependence on phones does more harm than good) 2、要平衡好手机与知识学习的关系(balance the relationship between phones and study) 范文点评 高分范文 精彩点评 ① 描述图片:孩子认为有手机就不需要去上 学了。 The Role of Phones in Study ②示漫画隐含的信息:很多学生过于依 赖 ① What the drawing vividly depicts is that a pupil asks his mother 手机。 why he is going to school since his phone already knows 1. ③出观点:手机在学习中虽然重要,但 并 everything. ② The picture illustrates that some students are 非必不可少。 highly dependent on their phones, overlooking the importance of ④承上启下,论证观点。 personal study.③ However, as far as I am concerned, phones play an important but not indispensable role in students’ learning. ⑤⑥使用 in the first place ...,in the second place...从 ④ There is no denying that mobile phones have brought 两个方面进行论证,层次分明。 much convenience, but we are not supposed to rely on them too ⑦⑧针对上述论证,总结观点,提出建议。 much in the process of study. ⑤ In the first place, we should have a good command of knowledge on our own to cope with various 加分亮点 situations without phones at hand. ⑥ In the second place, it is our personal knowledge that promotes the development of phones. be highly dependent on…高度依赖… Without the basic education at school, phones would not be overlook 忽视,忽略 invented. ⑦ All in all, over-dependence on phones does more harm indispensable必不可少的; than good. ⑧ Therefore, we should properly balance the be supposed to …应该… relationship between phones and study. Only in this way can we have a good command of …很好地掌握… benefit most from our learning process. at hand在手边 全文翻译 手机在学习中的作用 漫画生动地描述了一个小学生问他的母亲,既然他的手机已经无所不知,为什么还要去上学。这幅漫画揭示 了这样一个现象:一些学生高度依赖手机,而忽视了个人学习的重要性。然而,我认为,手机在学生们的学习中虽 然重要但并非必不可少。 1毫无疑问,手机给我们带来了很多便利,但是在学习过程中,我们不应该过度依赖手机。首先,我们自身应该 具有很好的知识储备以应对没有手机在手边时的各种情况。其次,正是我们的个人知识促进了手机的发展。如果 没有学校的基础教育,就没有手机的问世。 总而言之,过度依赖手机弊大于利。因此,我们应该合理地平衡手机与学习的关系。只有这样我们才能够从 学习过程中获得最大的收益。 PartⅡ Listening Comprehension Section A 1.听力原文:W: Fin going to give up playing chess. I lost again today. M: Just because you lost? Is that any reason to quit? Q : What does the man imply? 1. A) He will give the woman some tips on the game. B) The woman has good reason to quit the game. C) He is willing to play chess with the woman. D) The woman should go on playing chess. 【预测】选项中多次出现game和play chess,可以推测对话内容和下象棋有关。另外,从四个选项的内容中可 以推测,对话讲的应该是女士想放弃下象棋,男士给出建议或指导。 【精析】D。本题的关键在于听懂反问句和反问的语调。女士说因为今天又输了,所以打算放弃下象棋。 男 士没有正面回应,而是反问了两句:Just because you lost? Is that any reason to quit? “仅仅是因为输了吗?那 能算是放弃的理由吗?”言外之意就是不该放弃。换句话说就是,男士建议女士继续下棋。故本题答案为 D)。 2. M: Do you know Sally’s new address? She’s got some mail here, and I’d like to forward it to her. W: Well, we’ve not been in touch for quite a while. Let’s see. Mary should know it. Q : What does the woman mean? 2. A) The man can forward the mail to Mary. C) Mary probably knows Sally’s new address. B) She can call Mary to take care of the mail. D) She would like to resume contact with Sally. 【预测】选项中出现了 mail, address和contact等词,可以推测对话内容和邮件有关。由选项中的玛丽和萨 利两个人名可知对话盼内容涉及另外两个人,人物较多,听录音时应注意区分人物之间的关系, 做好标记; 另外,选项A)以the man作主语,选项B)和D)以she作主语,可以推测该题会从女士的角度提问,女士的 话为听音重点。 【精析】C)。本题的关键在于听到细节“Mary should know it. ”男士想把萨利的邮件转寄给她 ,问女士是否 知道她的地址。女士说自己很久没跟萨利联系了,但是结尾补充了一句:“玛丽应该知道地址。”故本题答 案为C)。 3.听力原文:W: I missed classes this morning. Could you please lend me your notes? M: My notes? You’ve never seen my handwriting, have you? Q : What does the man imply? 3. A) His handwriting has a unique style. C) He did not attend today’s class. B) His notes are not easy to read. D) He is very pleased to be able to help. 【预测】选项中出现了 handwriting, notes和class等词,可以推测对话内容应该与上课做笔记有关。另外, 四个选项中,A)和B)以his开头,C)和D)以he为主语,可以推测该题会从男士的角度提问, 男士的话为 听音重点。 【精析】B)。解题的关键是听懂反意疑问句。女士想要借男士的笔记看,男士没有正面回答,而是反问道: You’ve never seen my handwriting,have you? “你没看过我的笔迹,对吗?”言夕卜之意就是自己的笔迹难. 以辨认,不易读懂。故本题答案为B)。 B) 4.听力原文:M: I’m taking my girlfriend to the fancy new restaurant for her birthday tonight.C) W : I went there last weekend. I found it rather disappointing. D) Q :What does the woman mean? E) 4. A) The man had better choose another restaurant. F) The new restaurant is a perfect place for dating. G) The new restaurant caught her fancy immediately. D) The man has good taste in choosing the restaurant. 【预测】四个选项中反复出现了 choose 和 restaurant 等词,由此推测对话内容与选择饭店有关。另外,选项 A)和D)均是讲男士选择饭店,而选项B)和C)则出现了 dating和her,故可推测该题可能是从女士的角度 看待男士所选择的饭店,女士的话为听音重点。 【精析】A)。男士说今晚要带女朋友去新开的饭店过生日。女士说她上周去过,太让她失望了。从rather disappointing可以听出女士话语中强烈的否定意味,言外之意就是建议男士不要去这家饭店了,应该另选 一家。故本题答案为A)。 5.听力原文:W: Winter is over at last. Time to put away my gloves and boots. M: I’ve been waiting for this for months. Q: What does the man mean? 5. A) He has been looking forward to spring. C) He will clean the woman’s boots for spring. B) He has been waiting for the winter sale. D) He will help the woman put things away. 【预测】四个选项中三个都提到了季节,由此推测对话内容可能与季节有关。另外,四个选项都是以he 开 头,故可判断该题会从男士的角度进行提问,男士的话为听音重点。 【精析】A)。女士说,冬天终于结束了,可以把手套和靴子收起来了。男士回应说为此他已经等了好几个 月了。显然男士和女士一样非常期待冬天的结束,也就是盼望春天的到来故本题答案为A)。 6.听力原文:W : Thank you for bringing the books back. M : I thought you need them over the weekend. Many thanks for letting me use them. Q : What do we learn from the conversation? 6. A) The woman is rather forgetful. C) The man often lends books to the woman. B) The man appreciates the woman’s help. D) The woman often works overtime at weekends. 【预测】四个选项中,A)和D)以the woman为主语,B)和C)以the man为主语,选项在内容上较分散,可 以推测该题并非针对男士或女士个人的话提问,而是考查对整个对话的理解,听音时应注意从全局把握对 话内容。 【精析】B)。对话开头,女士对男士说,谢谢他把书送回来,由此可知应该是男士借了女士的书,故首先排 除项;男士说,他认为女士周末会用到,而且感谢女士让他使用这些书,故本题选择B)。 7.听力原文:W : Are you working flexible hours? M: No,I’m not. The weather today is so nice,so I decided to walk to work, arid that meant I had to leave an hour earlier than usual. Q What did the man decide to do? : 7. A) Go to work on foot. C) Start work earlier than usual. B) Take a sightseeing trip. D) Take a walk when the weather is nice. 【预测】选项中涉及work, on foot, trip和walk等词,可推测对话和步行上班或旅行相关。四个选项词短语, 由此可推断该题会对建议或计划进行提问,应特别注意和建议或计划相关的表述。 【精析】A)。女士问男士的工作时间是否可以变通,男士回答说,不能。但今天天气很好,他决定步行去 上班,所以必须比平常早一个小时出发。男士话语中有明显的表示计划的动词decided,其后的内容就是本 题的答案,故答案为A 。 8.听力原文:W: Our plane has been circling for a long time. Why the delay? M : The airport was closed for a while this morning, and things are still not back to normal. Q : What does the man mean?8. A) The plane is going to land at another airport. B) All flights have been delayed due to bad weather. C) Temporary closing has disturbed the airport’s operation. D) The airport’s management is in real need of improvement. 【预测】四个选项均涉及飞机和机场,而且都和机场存在的问题有关,故听音的重点为机场在哪方面出现 了问题。 【精析】C)。女士问,飞机已经盘旋了很长时间,为什么会延迟。男士回答说,机场早晨关闭了一段时间, 而且仍然没有恢复正常。由此可知,机场出现的问题是closed for a while,而选项C)中的temporary closing 正是该表述的同义转述,故本题答案为C)。 Conversation One 9-12.听力原文: W : Good Morning, this is TGC! M: Good morning, Walter Barry here, calling from London. Could I speak to Mr. Grand, please? W: Who’s calling, please? M: Walter Barry, from London. W: What is it about, please? M: Well, (9) I understand that your company has a chemical processing plant. My own company LCP, Liquid Control Products, is a leader in safety from leaks in the field of chemical processing.

What do we learn about the woman’s company? A) It specializes in safety from leaks. C) It has a partnership with LCP. B) It is headquartered in London. D) It has a chemical processing plant. D。【精析】由对话开头可知,男士在给女士打电话,女士问男士有什么事情,男士在说明来电目的前说, 自己了解到女士的公司有家化学加工厂,故D)为答案。 10. What do we learn about the man? A) He is Mr. Grants friend. C) He is a salesman. B) He is a safety inspector. D) He is a chemist. C。【精析】对话中,男士先表明自己的身份,介绍了自己公司,说明了来电目的是想和格兰德先生讨论如 何条助TGC公司防止泄漏,同时节省开支的问题,实际上就是要推荐自己公司的产品,由此可推断男士是 一名销售员,故C)为答案。 11. What is the woman’s position in her company? A) Director of the safety department. C) Head of the personnel department. B) Mr. Grand’s personal assistant. D) The public relations officer.B。【精析】对话中,女士告知男士格兰德先生非常忙,没空与男士说话,男士想找其他人商谈,女士告 诉他,他正和格兰德先生的私人助理说话,即女士就是格兰德先生的私人助理,故B)为答案。 12. What does the woman suggest the man do? A) Wait for Mr. Grand to call back. B) Leave a message for Mr. Grand. C) Provide details of their products and services. D) Send a comprehensive description of their work. C)。【精析】对话中,女士说let me suggest something,由此可知,其后就是女士对男士的建议,即为该题 的答案。对话中,女士建议男士将其公司产品和服务的详情以及其他公司的推荐信一并寄送过来,之后会 和男士联系,故C)为答案。 Conversation Two 听力原文: M: Miss Yamada, (13) did you ever think that you would find yourself living and working in the western world? W: (13) No, not really, although I’ve always listened to recordings of great orchestras from Europe. M : So you enjoyed classical music even when you were very young? W : Oh, yes. I was only a child. M: You were born in 1955. Is that right? W: Yes, (14) I began violin lessons at school when I was 6. M : As young as that. Did you like it? W : Oh, yes. Very much. M: When did you first play on your own? I mean, when did you give your first performance? W : I think I was 8... ? No, 9. I just had my birthday a week before, and my father had bought me a new violin. I played a small piece at the school concert. M : Did you know then that you would become a professional violinist? W:Yes,I think so. I enjoy playing the violin very much,and I didn’t mind practicing,sometimes three or four hours a day. M: And when did you first come to Europe? W:I was very lucky. When I was fifteen,I won a scholarship to a college in Paris. That was for a three-year course. M : How did your parents feel about that? W : I think they were pleased and worried at the same time. (15) It was the chance of a lifetime. But of course I would be thousands of miles from home.

D)。【详解】男士问女士是否想过会在西方世界生活和工作,女士回答说没有,但是自己一直都听欧洲大型 管弦乐队的唱片,由此可知女士在到欧洲之前听过很多欧洲管弦乐队的唱片,故D)是答案。 14、What does the woman say about her music experience? A) She began taking violin lessons as a small child. B) She was a pupil of a famous European violinist. C) She gave her first performance with her father. D) She became a professional violinist at fifteen.A。【详解】详解男士问女士是否很小就喜欢古典音乐,女士给出肯定回答,并说自己六岁就开始在学校学 习小提秦,故A)为答案。 15、What does the woman say about her study in Paris?

This is a mystery that many people have carefully thought about. All kinds of myths surround the lives of well-known people. Most people are familiar with the works of William Shakespeare, one of the greatest English writers of the 16th and 17th centuries. (16) Yet how many know Shakespeare the person, the man behind the works? After centuries of research, scholars are still trying to discover Shakespeare's personal history. It is not easily found in his writings. Authors of the time could not protect their works. An acting company, for example, could change a play if they wanted to. Nowadays, writers have copyrights that protect their work. Many myths arose about Shakespeare. Some said he had no formal education. Others believe that he began his career by tending the horses of wealthy men. All of these myths are interesting, but are they true? Probably not. (17) Shakespeare’s father was a respected man in Stratford-on-Avon, a member of the town council. He sent young William to grammar school. Most people of Elizabethan times did not continue beyond grammar school; so, Shakespeare did have, at least, an average education. (18) Some parts of Shakespeare’s life will always remain unknown. The Great London Fire of 1666 burned many important documents that could have been a source of clues. We will always be left with many questions and few facts. 【预测】 预览三道题各选项,选项中都含有he,his或him这些人称代词,再结合选项中多次出现的词汇 works, writers和sources等可以推测,短文可能与某位男作家相关。 16、What does the speaker say about William Shakespeare? A) There are mysterious stories behind his works. B) There are many misunderstandings about him. C) His works have no match worldwide. D) His personal history is little known. D。【详解】短文中作者首先提出“有多少人了解莎士比亚本人”的问题,接着指出学者们经过几个世纪 的研究之后,仍然在不断探索他的个人史。由此可知,莎士比亚的个人史很少有人知道。故D)为答案。 17、What do we learn about Shakespeare^ father? A) He moved to Stratford-on-Avon in his childhood. B) He failed to go beyond grammar school. C) He was a member of the town council. D) He once worked in a well-known acting company. C。【详解】本题考查对莎士比亚父亲的了解,由于使用的人称代词都是he,易对听前预测造成一定干扰, 听录音时应注意将选项和短文内容进行匹配区别。短文中提到莎士比亚的父亲受人尊敬,是埃文河畔斯特 拉特福镇议会的一名成员。故C)为答案。 & 18、Why does the speaker say parts of Shakespeare's life will remain a mystery? A) Writers of his time had no means to protect their works.B) Possible sources of clues about him were lost in a fire. C) His works were adapted beyond recognition. D) People of his time had little interest in him. B。【详解】短文中提到 1666 年伦敦的一场大火把很多重要文件烧毁了,而这些本来可能是了解莎士比亚 的线索,因此莎士比亚一部分的生活将永远不为人所知。故B)为答案。 Passage Two Wherever you go and for whatever reason, it’s important to be safe. (19) While the majority of people you will meet when travelling are sure to be friendly and welcoming, there are dangers—theft being the most common. Just as in your home country, do not expect everyone you meet to be friendly and helpful. It’s important to prepare for your trip in advance and to take precautions while you are travelling. (20) As you prepare for your trip, make sure you have the right paperwork. You don’t want to get to your destination only to find you have the wrong visa, or worse, that your passport isn’t valid any more. Also, make sure you travel with proper medical insurance, so that if you are sick or injured during your travels, you will be able to get treatment. If you want to drive while you are abroad, make sure you have an international driver’s license. (21) When you get to your destination, use official transport. Always go to bus and taxi stands. Don’t accept rides from strangers who offer you a lift. If there is no meter in the taxi, agree on a price before you get in. If you prefer to stay in cheap hotels while travelling, make sure you can lock the door of your room from the inside. Finally, remember to smile. It’s the friendliest and most sincere form of communication, and is sure to be understood in any part of the world! 19、What is mentioned as a most common danger when people go travelling abroad? A) Theft. B) Cheating. C) Air crash. D) Road accidents. A。【详解】短文开头部分提到,人们在外出旅游时遇到的大部分人都是既友好又热情的,但也会遇到很多 危险,而其中最为常见的就是盗窃,故A)为答案。 20、What is the most important thing to do when you prepare for your trip abroad? A) Learn the local customs. C) Book tickets well in advance. B) Make hotel reservations. D) Have the right documents. D。【详解】文中提到,在准备出国旅游时,—定要确保文件正确,谁都不想到了目的地却发现签证错误、 护照过期等情况。选项D)中的documents与文中的paperwork是同义转述,故D)为答案。 21、What does the speaker suggest you do when you arrive at your destination? A) Contact your agent. C) Use official transport. B) Get a lift if possible. D) Have a friend meet you. C。【详解】文章最后给出建议:到达目的地后要选择乘坐正规的交通工具,故C)为答案。 Passage Three (25) The British are supposed to be famous for laughing at themselves, but even their sense of humour has a limit, as the British retailer Gerald Ratner found out to his cost. (22) When Ratner took over his father’s chain of 130 jewelry shops in 1984, he introduced a very clear company policy. He decided that his shops should sell downmarket products at the lowest possible prices. It was a great success. The British public loved his cheap gold earrings and his tasteless silver ornaments. By 1991, Ratner’s company had 2,400 shops and it was worth over 680 million pounds. But in April of that year, Gerald Ratner made a big mistake. (23) At a big meeting of top British businesspeople, he showed up and explained the secret of his success. “People say ‘ How can we sell our goods for such a low price?’ I say ‘ Because they are absolute rubbish. ’ His audience roared with laughter. But the British newspapers and the British public were not so amused. (24) People felt insulted and stayed away from Ratner’s shops. Sales fell and 6 months after his speech, Ratner’s share price had fallen by 42% . The followingyear, things got worse and Gerald Ratner was forced to resign. By the end of 1992, he lost his company, his career and his house. Even worse, 25,000 of his employees had lost their jobs. (25) It had been a very expensive joke. 22、What did Gerald Ratner decide to do when he took over his father’s shops? A) Cut down production cost. C) Specialise in gold ornaments. B) Sell inexpensive products. D) Refine the taste of his goods. B。【详解】短文提到,拉特纳在 1984 年接管了父亲的珠宝连锁店后,决定以最低的价格卖出低档产品, 选项 B)中 sell inexpensive products 是原文 sell downmarket products 的同义转述,故 B)为答案。 23、On what occasion did Gerald Ratner explain the secret of his success? A) At a national press conference. C) During a local sales promotion campaign. B) During a live television interview. D) At a meeting of top British businesspeople. D。【详解】短文明确提到,在一次英国上层商人会议上,拉特纳出席并解释了自己成功的秘密,故D)为答 案。 24、How did people feel when they learned of Gerald Ratner?s remarks? A) Insulted. B) Puzzled. C) Distressed. D) Discouraged.

K)。【译文】有些人提议立法来禁止麦 当劳将玩具附赠到为孩子提供的特价食品上。 【精析】该段说明在快餐业进行创新和改良的大环境下,麦当劳也对其食品进行了改良,提供了更多健康 食品,但是高热量食品仍然存在,为促销其儿童“快乐套餐”,麦当劳会在卖套餐的同时附赠玩具,立法 者认为这种做法会引诱孩子吃不健康的食物,因此提议立法禁止该行为。题干是对这句话的同义转述,故 答案为K)。 47、Fast-food firms may not be able to cope with pressures from food regulation in the near future. A)。【译文】快餐企业在不久的将来可 能乐能处理来自食品法规的压力。 【精析】定位句指出,当汉堡企业准备采取策略来对全球经济的变化做出吗应时,还面临着来自监管部门 更多的压力,快餐业已经学会去处理一些事情,也就是这些压力,但是可能撑不了多久。题干是对定位句 的概括, 故答案为A)。 48、Burger King will start to sell Seattle^ Best coffee to increase sales.

B)。【译文】 在经济衰退期,很多顾客为了省钱都转向快餐。 【精析】该段首先提出快餐曾经被认为可以抵抗经济衰退,接下来进行分析解释。在经济衰退期,人们想 要节省开支,就倾向于购买便宜的食物,因此像巨无霸和皇堡这类便宜管饱的快餐对于想省钱的顾客就很 有吸引力。最后一句提到,伴随着快餐业的打折活动以及促销活动,快餐店客流量也变得兴旺,这一现象 也从侧面说明很多顾客为了省钱而去快餐店吃饭。题干中的save money是原文中cut spending的同义转述, 题干则是对这一段的概括,故答案为B)。 51、Many people eat out less often to save money in times of recession. D)。【译文】在经济衰退时期,很多人为了省钱而减少在外吃饭的次数。 【精析】该段解释某些快餐企业不景气的原因。定位句指出,在经济衰退的严峻时期,尽管一些人降级消 费转向快餐,但许多人为了省钱而更频繁地在家里吃饭。也就是说,减少了在外吃饭的次数。题干中的eat out less often是定位句中eat at home more frequently的同义转述,故答案为D)。 52、During the recession, Burger King’s promotional strategy of offering low-priced items often proved ineffective. E) 。【译文】在经济衰退时期,汉堡王提供低价食品的促销策略常常被证明是没有效果的。【精析】该段首先指出一些快餐企业为了吸引顾客,不惜牺牲自己的利润试图给顾客们更好的优惠。很多 商家采取了低价促销活动,但往往这些策略都是不奏效的。该段接下来举了汉堡王被特许经销商起诉的例 子来说明这个观点。题干是对定位段中观点和例子的总括,故答案为E)。 53、Fast-food restaurants can make a lot of money by selling breakfast. H)。【译文】通过卖早餐, 快餐店能够赚很多钱。 【精析】该段介绍了快餐店发展的另一个策略。快餐店要发展不仅需要推出新产品,还要寻找新市场。定 位句指出,许多商家看到了早餐市场的巨大商机,“早餐市场具有很好的赚钱潜力,因为其利润相当高。” 这句引用 分析师萨拉•塞纳托尔的话明确指出快餐店通过卖早餐能赚很多钱。题干是对定位句的概括,故 答案为H)。 54、Many fast-food companies now expect to increase their revenue by introducing higher-priced items. F)。【译文】很多快餐企业现在期望通 过推出高价产品来增加收益。 【精析】该段前二句指出,由于经济衰退,商家重新考虑销售策略以期提高收益。第三句对新策略进行 了说明:推出一些价格稍高的商品试图将消费者从 1 美元的特价商品中吸引回来。题干是对这三句话的整 合,故答 案为F)。 55、A newly-passed law asks big fast-food chains to specify the calorie count of what they serve on the menu. J)。【译文】一项新通过的法律要求大型快餐连锁企业在菜单上 详细标明它们供应的食品卡路里含量。 【精析】定位句指出,今年美国国会通过的健康改革法案要求拥有20家及以上连锁店的餐馆将它们所供应 的食品卡路里含量印制在菜单上。题干中的a newly-passed law是对原文America’s health-reform bill, which Congress passed this year 的概括,题干中的 big fast-food chains 是对 restaurant chains with 20 or more outlets 的概括,故答案为J)。 Section C Passage One 答案详解: 56、B)。定位:由题干中的 high-factor sunscreen 定位到首段第一句:If you think a high-factor sunscreen(防 晒霜)keeps you safe from harmful rays, you may be wrong. 详解:推理判断题。文章开篇即指出,如果你认为高指数的防晒霜能够使你免遭有害射线的辐射, 那你可 能就错了。由此可见,对于防晒霜能够保护皮肤不受伤害的这种误解是非常普遍的,因此,人们对于高指 数防晒霜的普遍预期是它将保护人们不被太阳晒伤,故答案为B)。 点睛:A) “它将延缓皮肤癌的发生”,本段第二句指出,一项研究表明,尽管防晒指数为50的防晒霜能 够减少黑瘤的数量,并延缓其出现,但却并不能阻止其发生,因此排除;C) “它将保持他们的皮肤光滑白 皙”,文章并未提及,排除;D) “它对于任何肤色的人都会起作用”,本段第四句提到了浅色皮肤的人更 容 易被晒伤,但是文章并未涉及防晒霜对于各种肤色人群的作用,因此排除。 57、A)。定位:由题干中的 research in Nature 定位到首段第二句:Research in this week’s Nature shows that while factor 50 reduces the number of melanomas (黑瘤 ) and delays their occurrence, it can’t prevent them. 详解:事实细节题。文章首段第二句提到,本周《自然》杂志的一项研究表明,尽管防晒指数为50的防晒 霜能够减少黑瘤的数量,并延缓其出现,但却并不能阻止其发生。由此可见,此项研究表明高指数的防晒霜 并不能有效阻止黑瘤的发生,故答案为A)。 点睛: B) “它在强烈光照的情况下是无效的”,定位句并未提及光照强度与防晒霜效果之间的关系,因此 排除;C)“它对于长时间暴露于阳光下无效”,本段第五句提到,如果你周期性地暴露于强烈的阳光下,黑 瘤则更为常见,但并未涉及防晒霜效果问题,因此排除;D) “它对于浅色皮肤的人无效”,本段第四句提 到,如果拥有红发或金发、浅色皮肤、蓝色或绿色眼睛,或者容易晒伤,又或者有近亲患此疾病, 将有相 对较高的患黑瘤这种癌症的风险,这里提到了浅色皮肤的人属于黑瘤高发人群,也未将其与防晒霜作用相 联系,因此也排除。58、D)。定位:由题干中的 the 2011 Australian study of 1,621 people 定位到第二段第二句:A 2011 Australian study of 1621 people found that people randomly selected to apply sunscreen daily had half the rate of melanomas of people who used cream as needed. 详解:推理判断题。文章第二段首句指出,对于防晒霜减少黑瘤的有效性一直存在争议,第二句则举例说 明,提到2011年澳大利亚一项涉及1,621人的研究发现,随机抽取的每天使用防晒霜的人群患黑瘤的几率 是需要时才使用面霜的人群的一半。由此可知,根据此项研究,每天使用防晒霜的确能够降低患黑瘤的几率, 即坚持使用防晒霜是有一定效果的,故答案为D)。 点睛:A)“防晒霜应该与其他防护措施同时使用”,本题的题干是我们能够从 2011 年澳大利亚一项涉及 1621人的研究中获知什么,而此选项内容是下文提到的第二项研究的发现,不符合题意,因此排除;B) “高 危人群从防晒霜的使用中获益最多”,此项研究并未涉及防晒霜对于高危人群的作用,排除;“防晒霜的无 规律使用对女性来说弊大于利”,文章并未提及,因此排除。 59、 C)。定位:由题干中的 the second Australian study 定位到第二段第五句:The study relied on people remembering what they had done over each decade of their lives, so ifs not entirely reliable. 详解:推理判断题。该段第三、四句承接上文,介绍了澳大利亚的第二项相关研究,第五句则是作者对研究 过程与结果的主观评论,指出,由于此研究基于人们对他们一生中每个十年所采取防晒措施的回忆,因此 并不完全可靠。由此可见,此研究并不是基于对被研究对象的直接观察,故答案为C)。 点睛:A)“它误导人们依靠防晒霜作为防护”,根据该段第三、四句,此项研究发现,日常使用防晒霜,且 同时使用帽子、长袖衫、躲在阴凉地方等其他防护措施的人,的确对这种疾病具有某些防护性, 还指出, 其他形式的防晒措施—不是防晒霜—似乎最为有益,可见,这并不会对使用防晒霜的人们造成误导,因此 排除;B)“它帮助人们选择最有效的防晒霜”,此项研究并未提及防晒霜的选择问题,因此排除;D)“它 证实了澳大利亚第一项研究的结果”,根据该段第二句,第一项研究发现了防晒霜的有效性,而第三、四 句则指出.第二项研究的结论是防晒霜需要与其他防晒措施共同使用,且其他防晒措施可能更有效,可见第 二项研究并非证实第一项研究的结果,因此排除。 60、A)。定位:由题干中的 reduce melanoma rates 定位到第四段:The good news is that a combination of sunscreen and covering up can reduce melanoma rates,as shown by Australian figures from their slip-slop-slap campaign. So if there is a heat wave this summer, it would be best for us, too, to slip on a shirt, slop on (抹上) sunscreen arid slap on a hat. 详解:推理判断题。文章第四段第一句提到,正如澳大利亚人“套上一涂上一扣上”运动的数据所显示的, 综合使用防晒霜和皮肤遮盖措施能够降低黑瘤发病率,第二句据此提出作者自己的观点和建议: 如果今年 夏天有热浪,我们也最好套上T恤,抹上防晒霜,并且扣上帽子。也就是说,作者建议我们同时使用防晒霜 和衣服、帽子等其他防护措施,故答案为A)。 点睛:B)“尽可能躲在阴凉的地方”,文章第二段提及的第二项研究提到了躲在阴凉地方这种防护措施, 但是作者并未对此进行评论和推荐,因此排除;C) “使用遮挡的防护措施代替防晒霜”,根据文章第四段, 作者推荐综合使用各种防护措施,并未建议放弃使用防晒霜,因此排除;D) “使用适量的防晒霜”,文章 第三段介绍了许多人对防晒霜的错误使用方法,其中之一是用量不足,但这并非作者的建议内容,因此排 除。 Passage Two 答案详解: 61、B)。定位: 由题干中的 rich countries 定位到首段第一句:Across the rich world, well-educated people increasingly work longer than the less-skilled. 详解:事实细节题。文章开篇即指出,在发达国家’与技术水平较低的人相比,受教育程度较高的人工作年 限越来越长。由此可见,目前在发达国家的劳动力大军中,学历较高的人工作时间更长,故答案为B)。 点睛: A) “年轻人正在取代老年人”,根据本段第二句的介绍,年龄在62岁到74岁的美国人中,拥有专 业学位的人约有65%仍然处在劳动大军之中,可见年轻人并未取代老年人,因此排除;C) “失业率正在逐年 递增”和D) “没有大学学位的人找工作很困难”,文章并未提及,因此排除。 62、B)。定位:由题干中的 deepen the divide 定位到首段第三、四句:This gap is part of a deepening divide between the well-educated well-off and the unskilled poor. Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled.详解: 事实细节题。文章首段第三句承接上文指出,这一差距正是不断加剧的高学历高收人富人与无收人 穷人之间两极分化的部分表现。第四句进一步分析了原因,即迅速发展的技术使高技术人群的收入增加, 同时也压缩了那些无技术人群的收入。由此可见,迅速发展的技术就是加剧贫富差距的主要原因,故答案 为B)。 点睛:A) “更长的预期寿命”,本段内容中并未提及预期寿命的相关内容,因此排除;C)“劳动人口的深 层次变化”,本段并未涉及劳动力结构的深层次变化问题,因此排除;D) “高学历人才数量的增加”, 本 段第二句提到,年龄在62岁到74岁的美国人中,拥有专业学位的人约有65%仍然处在劳动大军之中,但并 未指出高学历人才的数量较之前有所增加,因此也排除。 63、A)。定位:由题干中的 the experience of the 20th century 定位到第二段第三句:The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity (长寿) translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling ranks of pensioners will create government budget problems. 详解:事实细节题。文章第二段第三句指出,20世纪,更加长寿造成了退休生活的年份更长而不是工作的 年份更长,这一经历使得观察家们相信,这一变化将导致经济增长减缓,同时,退休金申领人数的激增将 产生政府预算问题。由此可知,根据20世纪的经历,观察家们预测到的问题之一是经济增长将减缓,故答 案为A)。 点睛:B) “政府预算将增加”,根据本段第兰句内容,观察家们预测到两个问题,一是经济增长减缓, 二 是政府预算问题,并未说明预算会增加,因此排除;C) “更多人将努力接受高等教育”,文章中并未提及 观察家们对人们态度变化的预测,因此排除;D) “就业市场竞争将更加激烈”,文章中并未指出观察家们 对就业市场变化的预测,因此也排除。 64、C)。定位:由题干中的policy changes in European countries定位到第四段的第二、三句:Many European governments have abandoned policies that used to encourage people to retire early. Rising life expectancy(预期寿 命), combined with the replacement of generous defined-benefit pension plans with less generous defined-contribution ones, means that even the better-off must work longer to have a comfortable retirement. 详解:事实细节题。文章第四段第二句和第三句提到,许多欧洲国家政府已经摒弃了曾鼓励人们尽早退休 的政策。预期寿命的延长以及慷慨的固定养老金计划被不再慷慨的固定缴费养老金计划所替代,这些都意 味着甚至有钱人也必须延长工作年限以获得舒适的退休生活。由此可知,政策的变化带来的后果是甚至有 钱人也不得不为了在退休后过上舒适的生活而延长工作年限,故答案为C)。 点睛:A) “无技术的人可能选择尽早退休”,根据文章第四段第二句,许多欧洲国家政府已经摒弃了曾鼓 励人们尽早退休的政策,可见,人们可能都会因此而延长工作时间,因此排除;B) “更多的人不得不接受 在职培训”,文章中并未提及职业培训问题,因此排除;D) “人们可能会从养老金计划中获得慷慨的固定 福利”,根据第四段第三句,慷慨的固定养老金计划被不再慷慨的固定缴费养老金计划所替代,可见养老 金计划已经修改,早已不再像从前那样慷慨,因此排除。 65、 D)。定位:由题干中的 characteristic of work 定位到第四段第四至六句:But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated and those people continue to reap rich rewards , into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the preceding generation. Technological change may well reinforce that shift: the skills that complement computers, from management knowhow to creativity, do not necessarily decline with age. 详解:推理判断题。文章第四段第四句提到,工作性质的变化也起到了很大作用,第五句进而对工作性质的 变化进行了分析,指出对那些高学历人士而言,工作报酬在大幅增加,这些人将继续获得较高的收人,直 到老年,因为当今的老龄高学历人群比上一代人工作更有成效,第六句对上文进行了总结,得出结论,技 术革新可能将进一步增强这一转变:作为计算机的补充的技能,从经营管理技巧到创新能力,都不会随着年 龄的增长而衰退。由此可见,21世纪的工作特点是,比起年龄问题,经营管理技巧、创新能力等技能将更加 被看重,故答案为D)。 点睛:A)“计算机将承担更复杂的工作”,文章第四段的末句提到从经营管理技巧到创新能力,都是作为 计算机的补充的技能,因此更复杂的工作仍然是由人来承担的,而非计算机,故排除;B)“更多的工作将由 年轻的高学历人才承担”,根据文章第四段的内容,作者强调的是老龄高学历人群比上一代人工作更有成效,因此相对于年轻人,年龄较长的高学历人才将更受欢迎,故排除;C) “大多数工作将是创造性的”,文 章末句提到创新能力可以作为计算机的补充,可见,除了创新性工作之外,仍有大量的其他工作需要计算机 完成,因此也排除。 PartⅣ Translation 中国是世界上最古老的文明之一。构成现代世界基础的许多元素都起源于中国。中国现在拥有世界 上发展最快的经济,并正经历着一次新的工业革命。中国还启动了雄心勃勃的太空探索计划,其中包括到 2020年建成一个太空站。目前,中国是世界最大的出口国之一,并正在吸引大量外国投资。同时,它也在海 外投资数十亿美元。2011年,中国超越日本成为世界第二大经济体。 China is one of the most ancient civilizations across the world,from which many elements that construct the foundation of the modem world are derived. Now China has the world’s fastest growing economy and is experiencing a new industrial revolution. It has also launched an ambitious space exploration plan, including the building of a space station by 2020. Currently, being one of the largest exporters in the world, China is attracting massive foreign investment. Meanwhile, it has invested billions of dollars overseas as well. In 2011, China surpassed Japan, becoming the second largest economic entity in the world. 难点注释: 1、翻译第一句时需要注意,“……之一”的表述中,名词使用复数形式,“最古老的文明之一”可译为one of the most ancient civilizations 或 one of the oldest civilizations。 2、翻译第二句时,需要注意句子的主干为“元素起源于中国”,谓语动词“起源于”可译为be derived from 或 originate from;定语“构成现代世界基础的”较长,可处理为定语从句来修饰先行词“元素”;“构 成……基础” 可译为construct the foundation of或form the basis of。由于第一句和第二句均为简单 句,都出现了“中国” 一词,翻译时既可以单独成句,也可以合二为一。本译文采用后者,将第一句作为 主句,第二句处理为定语从句,用介词+ which来引导,修饰第一句中的China,从而使译文更加简洁连贯。 3、翻译第三句时,需要注意该句主语为“中国”,句中有两个并列谓语“拥有”和“经历”。“拥有”表 示的是客观事实,可采用一般现在时,“正经历着”强调当前的情况,可采用现在进行时;“工业革命” 可译为industrial revolution 。 4、第四句中“太空探索计划”可直译为space exploration plan,也可意译为plan for exploring the outer space; “启动”可译为launch或start。 5、第五句和第三句结构相似,该句有两种译法。可以翻译为两个并列的简单句,也可以将“中国正在吸引 大量外国投资”译为主句,时态为现在进行时;“是世界最大的出口国之一”采用非谓语结构,译为 being one of the largest exporters in the world,避免单调和重复。 6、第六句为简单句,“在海外投资”译为invest overseas, “数十亿”译为billions of。 7、翻译最后一句时应注意时态。该句表述的是过去的事实,应使用一般过去时。“超越”译为surpass;“成 为”这个短语有两种译法,可以将“超越”和“成为”处理为两个并列的动作,译为became the second largest economy in the world;也可以将“成为”处理为现在分词作状语,表示结果,译为becoming the second largest economic entity in the world。
