He was right. He had the proof. He could prove that the time was the same, however short or long the journey of the light through the air was.

Part II Reading Comprehension

Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.

A), B), C) and D). you should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding

The territory that now makes up the United States was settled by people from England, France, Holland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and other countries. The Indians, of course, were already there.

Naturally, the nationalities in the colonies called one another by slang terms. Often the slang terms came from some name that was popular among a particular group. The equivalent of the English name James, for instance, is the common Spanish name Diego, pronounced “dee-ay’goh”. That gives rise to the insulting word Dago applied to a Spaniard or to other South Europeans, such as the Italians.

The English in Connecticut were subjected to this same irritating device by the Dutch who, prior to 1664, occupied New Amsterdam (later New York). A common name among the English is John and to the Dutch this was Jan, pronounced “yan”. What was more natural than for the Dutch to call any Englishman Jan? To make it more condescending and insulting, they used the diminutive form Janke (equivalent to Johnikins in English). This was pronounced “yan kuh” and that easily became Yankee.

The term, which originally applied to natives of Connecticut, later applied to all New Englanders and was eventually given to all Northerners by the Southerners and to all Americans by people of other countries.

21. The word Dago comes from the _____.

A). Dutch language B). English language

C). Spanish language D). The article does not say

22. The word Yankee stems from the _____.

A) Spanish word for James B). Dutch word for John

C). English name Johnikins D). Italian word for Diego

A). Connecticut B). New England

C). the northern states of the United States D). all of the above

24. Both Yankee and Dago are based on _____.

A). common first names B). diminutive name forms

C). last names D). nicknames

25. This selection mainly traces _____.

A) which nationalities settled the United States

B) how two slang terms originated and spread

C) why Dago is an insulting word

D) who introduced the word Yankee

Task 2

Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or statements are numbered 41 through 45.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first award ceremony.

Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to$125,000.

Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobe l’s death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges’ decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.

No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.

26. When did the first award ceremony take place?

A). 1895 B). 1901 C).1962 D). 1968

27. Why was the Nobel Prize established?

A) To recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity.

B) To resolve political differences.

C) To honor the inventor of dynamite.

D) To spend money.

C) Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners.

When Tsinghua University was first established in 1911, it had the name "Tsinghua School" and was merely a preparatory school for the students who were sent by the government to study in the United States of America.

After the Resistance War against Japanese Aggression (抗日战争) broke out in 1937, Tsinghua University was moved to Kunming Yunnan Province and merged into the Southwest Associated University together with Peking University and Nankai University. In 1946, Tsinghua University returned to its original campus in Beijing, having five schools: Liberal Arts, Sciences, Engineering, Law and Agriculture. With the nationwide restructuring of university, since the 1980', the University has gradually restored some disciplines(学科) and set up new disciplines.

Part II Reading Comprehension

Task 1

Directions:After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked

A), B), C) and D). you should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding

E-mail systems at thousands of companies and government offices around the world were attacked by a virus called “Mellissa” that disguises itself as “important message” from a friend.

Even though there was a weekend warning, more than 50,000 companies at about 100 places around the world have been attacked by the virus, computer experts said on Monday. The virus began to show up last Friday and spread rapidly the next first work day by making computers send off dozens of e-mails containing the virus. Although the virus had no long-lasting damage to a computer, its effects were far-reaching.

Michael Vatis, a senior US official said military and government computers were damaged, along with thousands of the other institutions' systems.

The body of e-mail message says, “Here is what you ask for…” once the user opens it, the virus digs into the user’s address book and sends out messages to the first 50 address. The reason why the virus spread so rapidly is that you’re getting it from people you know and trust. So anyone who gets an unexpected e-mail with the “Important Message” subject line is advised not to open it and to delete it immediately.

The bee, like the ant, is a social insect. Bees live in groups in a hive, and every bee does certain work that helps the other members of the group. In a beehive there are three kinds of bees: the queen bee, the drones (male bees) and the workers. The worker bees go from flower to flower collecting nectar (the sweet liquid collected by bees from flowers). Bees draw this nectar into the honey sacks of their bodies, and enzymes(酶) in their bodies turn the nectar into honey. This newly-made honey zone(渗出物) passes slowly through the underside of the bees and is stored in cells in the hive to be used as food during the winter months. Some people are in the honey business and keep hundreds of hives. Beekeepers remove honey from the hive and pack it in bottles or jars. Honey usually appears as a clear golden-colored liquid, but this depends on the kind of flower from which the bees have taken the nectar.

26. Bees are called social insects because they _____.

A). live in groups B). live near people

C). need beekeepers D). work hard

27. What do bees do with nectar?

A) They change it into sugar.

B) They change it into honey.

C) They give it to the queen bee.

D) They use it to build their hives.

28. Honey is usually sold in _____.

A). beehives B). golden-colored packs

C). honey sacks D). bottles and jars

29. The color of honey in its final stage depends on the _____.

A) type of flower from which the nectar was taken

B) amount of sugar the beekeepers give the bees

C) quantity of water that the bees need

D) season in which the nectar is collected

30. What is the best title of this passage?

A) Social Habits of Bees

B) The Work of Beekeepers

C) The Production of Honey

D) The Three Types of Bees

Task 3

Directions: After reading the following passage, you should complete the information by filling in the blanks marked 46 through 50 in the table below.

Hunza is a small land high in the mountains. Today it is part of the country of Pakistan. People in Hunza seem to grow old very slowly. Women who look 35 may really be 60. Men in their eighties play games like soccer. Many people in Hunza live to be over 100. Some even reach 130.

What gives the Hunzakuts their wonderful health? Why do they live such long lives? Now that a few scientists have visited Hunza, we can begin to answer these questions. Here are some of the reasons.

First of all, the Hunzakuts lead simple lives. From our point of view, they seem to have few worries. Most of them work long hours caring for small farms. They awake early and go to bed at sundown. Money worries are unknown because they seldom use money. They don't worry about crime because there are no criminals in Hunza. Jobs are not a problem since rich soil gives work to everybody.

Secondly the Hunzakuts spend a good part of each day either praying or resting. When they get up in the morning they pray for a while. Then all day long they work slowly and steadily. They stop now and then for a rest.

Lastly the Hunzakuts' plain diet is full of vitamins and minerals. They eat a lot of vegetables, but very little meat. They love fruits. All food goes right from the land to the table.

大学英语四级模拟试题四(附含答案解析)

大学英语四级模拟题四 Part One Reading Comprehension (2’×10 = 20’) Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. 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 centre. Passage One Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow”from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory（呼吸的）diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases. Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility （能见度）. There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals are apt（易于的）to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers. Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes（腐蚀）our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control. 1. Air pollution may lead to airplane accidents because . A. it may cause pilots to be ill B. engines may fail from the air-borne dirt C. visibility is reduced D. it brings a lot of black snow 2. Scientists are trying to find a link between pollution and . A. intelligence levels B. birth problems C. man’s behavior D. the nervous system 3. Scientists have not yet determined . A. all of the effects of pollution on the human body B. how pollution can be controlled successfully C. when the atmosphere first became polluted D. how some snow becomes black 4. The author suggests that before air pollution becomes more serious, . A. factories will be forced to stop operating B. buildings should be protected C. the earth will begin to grow colder D. more money should be spent to solve the problem 5. We can conclude that . A. civilization may be ruined if pollution is not controlled B. pollution is more serious in Europe than it is in America C. most people do not know that pollution is a serious problem D. we should learn all the answers before we begin to control pollution Passage Two Stiletto heels could be banned from the workplace because of health and safety reasons, according to British Trade Union bosses. The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear “sensible shoes”with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference. The motion states: “Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely in appropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Feet bear the burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders. Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints. Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code. More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected.” Nadline Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticized the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace. “I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye,”she said. “If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me. The Trade Union leaders need to get real, stop using obvious sexist tactics by discussing women’s

2016 年12 月大学英语四级考试真题及答案【篇一：2016 年12 月大学英语四级翻译作文题目及答案】翻译一：在中国文化中，红色通常象征着好运、长寿和幸福。在春节和其他喜庆场合，红色到处可见。人们把现金作为礼物送给家人或亲密朋友时，通常放在红信封里。红色在中国流行的另一个原因是人们把它与中国革命和共产党相联系。然而，红色并不总是代表好运与快乐。因为从前死者的名字常用红色书写，用红墨水写中国人名被看成是一种冒犯行为。 as a symbol of good luck, longevity and happiness in chinese culture, the color of red can be seen everywhere during springfestive and other festive/ joyous occasions. cash is usually put in red envelopes as gifts for relatives and close/intimate friends. also, red is much-welcomed / fashionable in china because of its association with chinese revolutions and the communist party. however, red does not always represent / equal to good luck and joy. red was previously used to write the names of the deceased so it is seen as an offence to write chinese people ’s names in red ink. 翻译二随着中国的改革开放，如今很多年轻人都喜欢举行西式婚礼。新娘在婚礼上穿着白色婚纱，因为白色被认为是纯洁的象征。然而，在中国传统文化中，白色经常是葬礼上使用的颜色。因此务必记住，白花一定不要用作祝人康复的礼物，尤其不要送给老年人或危重病人。同样，礼金也不能装在白色信封里，而要装在红色信封里。 with the reform and opening-up of china, a great many young people nowadays prefer to hold western-style wedding: the bride wears white wedding gown because the color is considered to symbolize purity/is considered as the symbol of purity. however, in tradition chinese culture, white is often used on funerals. so, do bear in mind that white flowers should never be used as a gift to celebrate someone ’s recovery, especially not for the aged or those who are seriously ill.

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 One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids (小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists. Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids (流星) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth. Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course. Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn’t be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk re: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare—but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It’s that simple.” The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday (毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,” said a New York Times article. 21. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids? A) They are heavenly bodies different in composition. B) They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.
