Exercise 1

The man who brings my milk used to knock for his money for the week’s milk while I was eating breakfast on Saturday morning.

1lately he has been arriving before I get up. Staff 2mean that four men are sharing five rounds. So he has to start 3. Delivering milk to people’s homes is scarcely good business, especially when the consumer may have a choice of two or three firms 4 a single road. 5my local difficulties, however, labor troubles are not as acute as a few years ago. There are enough men prepared to make an early morning stake 6an open-air job 7 a fair measure of freedom. 8

they did stop calling, women should find 9hard work to collect all the milk they need 10self-service stores. Dairies 11that stopping deliveries in the United States resulted in falling sales.

Marketing ideas have included introducing extra lines, 12dairy products, 13 the milkmen can carry to increase turnover. Already they have taken over many rounds given up by bakeries.

How did music begin? Scholars differ about the 1of music. Early man probably 2 to use his voice for singing before he discovered how to make musical instruments. Very 3 he sang simple chants to go with his magic rites. (Through magic, primitive man thought he could bring rain, make the sun 4or help his crops grow.) Thus the first melodies were born.

Man soon learned how to make musical instruments out of 5he found around him.

He made rattles out of nuts and gourds. He blew into bones or reeds to make a 6sound. Hollow logs made excellent drums. These instruments heightened the 7man’s singing and marked the rhythm of his dances.

When primitive men sang8groups, it is likely that not all the singers sang the melodies on the same 9. One singer perhaps sang his melody four or five steps higher than 10.

Of course, many changes 16into tunes this way. Man needed to find a way of writing his music down, so that it would be sung or played exactly as he had17 it. The method that man developed for writing music is called notation.

Banked Cloze Unit 1 Where there is a will, there is a way. This proverb means that if you are really determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will 1)eventually find a way to do it well. The 2) premier point is that you must have the will to achieve success. Ninety percent of the failures that occur are due to the fact that there is no strong will involved. Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not make any 3) endeavor to achieve it. So, instead of getting it, they use the poorest excuse to explain the situation away. On many occasions, people tend to 4) bypass every minute obstacle, making the objective impossible to attain. In reality, if they have the will to succeed, they can get rid of the 5) handicaps and achieve their goals. Only those with a(n) 6) committed and focused will and spirit can fight their way to final victory. Many a famous man has the same experience. They have 7) attained their prestige because they have had the will to 8) transcend apparently insuperable (无法克服的) obstacles. Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors have manged to succeed because they possess a fierce will, which has helped them to accomplish major 9) feats. Therefore, we can see that the main thing which one needs is a strong will. Weak-willed people never climb to the top. They collapse at the 10) slightest use of force against them. Strong-willed people, on the other hand will stand up against all odds and will make it a point to succeed. 有志者事竟成.这句谚语的意思是,如果你真的下定决心去做某件事,不管它多么困难,你最终会找到一种方法做好它。首要的一点是你必须有获得成功的决心。百分之九十的失败都是因为没有强有力的意志。许多人只是说他们想要什么,但他们并没有努力去实现它。所以,他们没有得到,而是用最可怜的借口来解释情况。在许多情况下,人们倾向于绕过每分钟的障碍,使目标不可能达到。事实上,如果他们有成功的意志,他们就能摆脱障碍,实现自己的目标。只有那些意志坚定、意志坚定的人才能为最终胜利而战。许多名人都有同样的经历。他们已经达到了他们的威望,因为他们已经将超越显然是无法逾越的障碍(无法克服的)。许多艺术家、政治家、作家和发明家都有巨大的成功,因为他们拥有一个强烈的意志,这帮助他们完成主要的本领。因此,我们可以看到,一个人需要的主要东西是坚强的意志。意志薄弱的人永远爬不到顶端。他们一点点地使用武力就崩溃了。意志坚强的人,在另一方面,会站起来反对一切困难,并将它成为一个成功点。

2 015年6月13日全国大学英语四级翻译真题及答案 大米 在西方人心目中,和中国联系最为密切的基本食物是大米。长期以来,大米在中国人的饮食中占据很重要的地位,以至于有谚语说“巧妇难为无米之炊”。中国南方大多数种植水稻,人们通常以大米为食;而华北大部分地区因为过于寒冷或过于干燥,无法种植水稻,那里的主要作物是小麦。在中国,有些人用面粉做面包,但大多数人用面粉做馒头和面条。 In the mind of Westerners,Chinese people have the closest connection to rice,basic food for the Chinese.For a long time,rice occupies a very important position in the Chinese diet.There is even a saying that "even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice".People in south China plant and live on rice,while people in the most parts of North China cannot plant rice due to excessively dry and cold weather. The main crop there is wheat. In China, some people use flour to bake bread,while most people make steamed bread and noodles with flour. xx 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20年建成的一个太空站。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。 快递 据报道,今年中国快递服务(courier service)将递送大约120亿件包裹。这将使中国有可能超越美国成为世界上最大的快递市场。大多数包裹里装着网上订购的物品。中国给数百万在线零售商以极具竞争力的价格销售商品的机会。仅在11月11日,中国消费者就从国内最大的购物平台购买了价值90亿美元的商品。中国有不少这样的特殊购物日。因此,快递业在中国扩展就不足为奇了。

UNIT 8 Many people are hostile to daydreaming, believing that it can interfere with the pursuit of success. They consider that daydreamers will never amount to much in their chosen careers. Recently, however, some experts have begun to argue that indulging in fantasy can have positive benefits. Daydreaming of success, they claim, can contribute to success. One technique they recommend is to picture yourself as you wish to be. Holding this vision clearly in your mind supposedly helps you make it come true. Of course, you should not neglect necessary study or work because daydreaming cannot substitute for hard work. Merely relying on daydreaming will not help you attain your goal.很多人都敌视白日梦,相信它会阻碍成功的追求。他们认为,daydreamers绝不会在自己选择的职业生涯量太多。但最近,一些专家已经开始认为,沉迷在幻想能有正面助益。成功的白日梦,他们声称,可以有助于成功。他们推荐的一种技术,是把自己描绘为您希望的人。持有这种观点在你的头脑清楚据说可以帮助您美梦成真。当然,你不应该忽视必要的学习或工作,因为白日梦不能代替艰苦的工作。仅仅依靠白日梦不会帮助你实现你的目标。 UNIT 9 The beauty of the music was in sharp contrast with the reality of the lives led by the singers. Amid all their suffering, a group of Jewish prisoners had found the courage to stage performances of Verdi’s Requiem. Despite the difficulties and dangers, they threw themselves enthusiastically into rehearsals, which had to be kept a secret. An additional difficulty was that they had only one instrument, an old harmonium. Their greatest triumph came when they performed before an audience containing the infamous Nazi official, Adolf Eichmann. Their voices swelled with passion as they threw in the faces of the Nazis words which sang of how they would have to pay for their crimes.在优美的音乐是与歌手所领导的生活现实形成鲜明对比。在所有这些他们的痛苦,一个犹太囚犯集团找到了勇气阶段威尔第的安魂曲演出。尽管有困难和危险,他们把狂热地排练,这些都必须保持自己的秘密。另外一个困难是,他们只有一台仪器,老风琴。他们最大的胜利来到时,他们就在一个臭名昭著的纳粹军官包含阿道夫艾希曼的观众演出。他们的声音充满了激情,因为他们扔在了纳粹的话,他们将如何为他们的罪行付出唱的面孔。 UNIT 6 The medicines the doctor prescribed for me tasted horrible. They were supposed to bring down my temperature, but when I heard how high it was I was terrified. I thought I was certain to die. I just didn’t see how I could possibly overcome the illness. I couldn’t stop worrying about it. All day I just gazed into space, feeling miserable. The fever made me shiver and gave my face a flush. I couldn’t take an interest in anything and felt very detached from everything around me. I thought my father must know I was going to die, but had said nothing, wanting me to keep from thinking about it. Finally I could bear it no longer and asked him how much longer I could live. When he explained my mistake, all my worries slid away. Only then was I really able to take it easy. 我的医生处方药品尝到可怕。他们应该打倒我的温度,但是当我听到有多高,也就是我吓坏了。我想我一定会死。我只是没看见我怎么能可能克服的疾病。我无

That first hard winter he faced must have left him with the temptation to give up and go back to the city. But he managed to get through it without losing heart. He’s picked up a lot of skills since then and made some real improvements to his farm, though without much laborsaving machinery aside from that old rotary cultivator. I suspect he doesn’t make all that much, though he does have his writing to supplement what little profit he makes from the farm. I guess he does it primarily for the quality of life. Certainly, they seem a happy family and you can often see them out working together, one day spraying apple trees, the next stacking firewood. 2) The underground Railroad was forged by the efforts of those who were prepared to fight against slavery and stand up for the long-suffering Southern black Americans. Some of those who helped to transport slaves to the north and freedom were former slaves themselves. Others felt compelled to take part because of their deeply held convictions . For many of those involved, liberating the slaves from those who exploited them because a mission . While their eventual goal was to abolish slavery completely, in the meantime they were intent on helping to free as many slaves as possible, often at considerable risk . In the eyes of slave owners, they were dangerous enemies and frequently received death threats 3) Statistics show that crime in rural areas is now rising faster than in the cities. The era when the countryside stood for safety and secutity has long gong. No longer is it safe anywhere to go out leaving the door on the latch . We all feel vnlnerable and seek to strengthen the barriers we use to hold criminals at bay . These can range from old fashioned bolts and bars to the latest electronic devices. A moment’s reflection ,however ,is enough to bring us face to face with the following puzzle : we may have locked the evils out,but in doing so we have locked ourselves in . this hardly seems a civilized way of life. 5) Alex Haley was at sea when he started thinking how best he could mark Thanksgiving . Turning over the meaning of the holiday in his mind , he came to reverse the order of the words and go to thinking about giving thanks . How , he wondered , could he repay those who had been so helpful to him in the past ? It seemde to him that the best way he could express his gratitude would be to write to them . For too long he had gone about without troubling to tell them how much he appreciated all that they had done for him . Before long he had assembled pen and paper and was immersed in writing . Not long after the ship reached port , unloading its cargo together with his letters . The replies were not swift in arriving , but when they did , he found them deeply moving . (1)I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for solitude. Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we don't entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home. The other requirement is energy -- a lot of it. The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices. Instead, you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw. Yet this stop was only part of a much larger mission for me. Josiah Henson is but one name on a
