Such a greenhouse effect is created when energy in the formof sunlight easily passes through a planet’s atmosphere, warms its surface, and is converted to heat radiation that is then held in by the atmosphere. The orbiting spacecraft sampled Venus’ atmosphere from top to bottom, enabling NASA’s scientists to establish theexact amount of sunlight absorbed at various places in the planet’s atmosphere and on its surface. Measurements of atmosphere composition, temperature profiles, and radiative heating predicted Venus’ surface temperature very accurately. The planet is closer to the Sun than is Earth, and it has a relatively thin atmosphere like Earth’s but Venus’ atmosphere consists of more than ninety percent carbon dioxide, compared to less than four percent in that of Earth. Because of its hig her percentage of carbon dioxide, Venus’ atmosphere traps much more heat radiation than does Earth’s. Thus, the Venus studies are believed to be important to the understanding of possible adverseeffects on Earth’s agriculture and sea levels that could res ult from the long-term use of fossil fuels, which add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.(1). Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. The Voyage of Pioneer SpacecraftB. Measuring Planetary TemperaturesC. A New TheoryD. The Greenhouse Effect on Venus (2).According to the passage, what heats the atmosphere on Venus?A. The green house effectB. The sunlightC. The radiationD. The carbon dioxide(3).According to the passage, how does the atmosphere of Venus differ from that of Earth?A. It contains much more carbon dioxideB. It is four percent thinnerC. It holds significantly less moistureD. It traps less heat radiation(4).It can be inferred from the passage that the burning of fossil fuels on Earth may cause _____.A. more carbon dioxide to enter sea waterB. more sunlight to reach the Earth’s surfaceC. the planet’s temperature to changeD. the atmosphere to become thinner(5).According to the passage, data from the Venus study can be used to________.A. predict changes in the planet’s orbitB. test a theory about more efficient greenhouseC. test the efficiency of a spacecraftD. predict future agricultural problems on Earth2.At dawn on January 17, 1995, the city of Kobe was rocked by earthquake tremors. The worst tremors reach 7.2 on the Richter scale. Kobe is Japan's sixth largest city. It is also one of the world's largest ports. Within minutes, Kobe was a disaster area.How bad was the damage? The earthquake was the worst to hit Japan in 72 years. There were more than 6,000 people dead. More than 35,000 were injured, and nearly 310,000 were left homeless. Some75,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed. Total damage was estimated at $90 billion.Were the Japanese prepared for earthquakes? They thought they were. They were expecting a big earthquake to strike one of their major cities. But they did not know when, where, or how big the earthquake would be. Architects and engineers believed they had designed earthquake-proof buildings, transportation, and public services. Kobe's few minutes of earth tremors shattered that belief. What did people learn from the Kobe earthquake? What happened in Kobe suggests that earthquake hazard was not taken seriously enough. Some people believe that more can be done to reduce damage. They propose the following. More work should be put into quake-proofing buildings. Walls should be built to protect towns on the coast from large waves. Providers of emergency services must be better trained and better prepared. Citizens must be better educated on what to do when an earthquake strikes.The major barrier to doing more is cost. Japan finds itself trying balance the cost against the risk of a strong earthquake. (1).Which sentence best tells what this passage says?A. Cities can be made earthquake proof.B. More can be done to reduce the damage of earthquakeC. Earthquakes always cause serious damageD. Nothing can be done to reduce the damage of earthquake(2).How many people died in the Kobe earthquake?A. More than 6,000B. At least 100,000C. Nearly 310000D. 75,000(3).What is the major difficulty in doing more to reduce the earthquake damage?A. People are not given enough trainingB. Engineers do not have the knowledgeC. Protection is too costlyD. No one takes earthquakes seriously(4).The author's attitude in writing this passage is ________.(Only paragraph 1 is chronological!)A. analyticB. blamingC. provocativeD. indifferent(5)."Tremors" probably means ________.A. earthquake-proving buildingsB. shaking movementsC. heavy thunderstormsD. natural disasters3. City planners are the people who guide the development of cities and towns. They might advise local governments on ways to improve communities, or they might design entirely new communities. In South Florida, for example, city planners are working to improve existing communities. The population of the area is expected to increase from 5.5 million to 7.5 million by 2020. The growth is headed to the west, where there is still open land. But western growth creates a costly need for new roads and is a threat to the ecological system of the Florida Everglades（沼泽地）. City planners are trying to lure people back into the older, developed eastern section of the region by concentrating growth in that direction and away from the western section.City planners also plan and develop new communities. These communities, called new cities or new towns, include both places to live and places to work. New cities, such as Brazil's capital Brasilia, a community founded in 1900, can be constructed far from existing cities. Such cities are designed with enough facilities and job opportunities for all residents. Building completely new citiesis very costly, however, Brasilia and Canberra, Australia, are two examples of the few new cities that have ever been completedNew towns are different from new cities in that they are built within commuting distance of large cities. They may also be planned communities within a city. New towns provide jobs for many of their residents, but they also rely on neighboring cities for jobs. Two of the first new towns built in the United States were Columbia, Maryland, and Reston, Virginia. At the end of the 20th century an estimated 100 new towns were planned or under construction in the United States.(1). The passage is mainly about ________. A. choosinga good city planner B. the planning of the Reston, Virginia C. the planning of Brasilia and Canberra D. the work of city planners(2). Brasilia, Brazil, is an example of _______. A. an improved old city B. a planned new city C. a planned new town D. a suburban development(3). You would most likely hire a city planner if you needed someoneto ________. A. help grow best trees and flowers in a city B. a planned new city C. design new office buildings in a city D. guidethe development of a new community in a city(4). The number 2 million indicates the predicted ________. A. decrease in South Florida's population B. increase in South Florida's population C. number of city planners to be needed in the year 2020 D. number of towns to be planned by 205 population in a newly-designed city(5). In this passage lure means______ A. cheat B. force C. attract D. chase答案：一、单项选择题（55分，共 55 题，每小题 1 分）1. C2. B3. D4. B5. B6. D7. C8. C9. C 10. D 11. A 12. C 13. A14. B 15. A 16. B 17. D 18. B 19. D 20.

新编大学英语4(第二版)Unit 1-Unit 6单元 课文翻译及课后答案详解
课内阅读参考译文及课后习题答案(Book 4)Unit 1享受幽默—什么东西令人开怀？1 听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心，古今中外都一样。
这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。
那么，到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢？2 我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人，因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。
这些学生文化差异很大，有来自拉丁美洲的，也有来自中国的。
我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。
这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。
3 为什么听我讲完一个笑话后，班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合，而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢？显然，有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。
而且，我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话，而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。
我们都听人说过这样的话：―我喜欢笑话，但我讲不好，也总是记不住。
‖有些人比别人更有幽默感，就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。
一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲，而且讲了一个笑话，就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。
一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的人。
一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱，而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。
这么说是有道理的。
4 甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。
我岳母从前经常来我们家，并能住上很长一段时间。
通常她不喜欢狗，但却很喜欢布利茨恩—我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。
而且，她们的这种喜欢是相互的。
布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母，当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时，布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室，并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去，一直逗到外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。
外祖母从椅子上一起来，布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子，从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑，无疑是在说：―啊哈，你又上了我的当。
‖5 典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。
第一部分是铺垫（即背景），接下来是主干部分（即故事情节），随后便是妙语（即一个出人意料或令人惊讶的结尾）。
