Part III Reading Comprehension
Section A
People who live in heavily industrialized areas do not get as much sunlight
as they should. Dust【C1】______over a city at altitudes (海拔) of between 4,000 and
8,000 feet cuts out between 20 and 50 percent of the sunlight and up to 90 percent of
the ultraviolet light (紫外线). But dust is not the only thing to【C2】______about.
When fuels are burned, whether in a factory, or in a home, or in the engine of a car,
CO2 is given off. CO2 in the atmosphere acts as a kind of【C3】______around the
earth, keeping warms in and so slowly raising the【C4】______of the earth. This could
really change the climate all over the world. Everybody wants to have a car.【C5】______, while they are giving us so much pleasure, cars are also poisoning us. The
amount of dangerous substances sent out by a car is quite【C6】______. Did you know,
for example, that a hundred cars produce on【C7】______a third of a ton of CO, as
well as many other【C8】______substances every day? Now, more and more
people are realizing the importance of clean air. Schools are now teaching about the
pollution problems. Scientists and engineers are trying to【C9】______new engines for
cars. But what about the millions of cars already in use? Must they all be thrown away?
It might be very【C10】______to change them so that they, too, are pollutiorvfree.
A. forge B. screen C. expensive D. floating E. unfortunately F. average G.
poisonous H. develop I. temperature J. surprising K. overtaking L. essential
M. regulation N. generously O. worry
1． 【C1】
正确答案：D
解析：此处应为形容词或动词的分词，作Dust的后置定语。根据Dust，over
a city及本句句意，可以推断空白处应为floating一词，表示漂浮在城市上空的灰尘。 知识模块：词汇理解
2． 【C2】
正确答案：O
解析：此处应为动词，可与about搭配为动词词组。结合上一句，可以推断作者想表达灰尘并不是唯一令人担忧的东西，因此答案为worry。 知识模块：词汇理解
3． 【C3】
正确答案：B
解析：此处应为名词。本句中的分词部分keeping warms in…是对空白处名词功能的定义，由此可推断本题答案为screen。 知识模块：词汇理解
4． 【C4】
正确答案：I
解析：此处应为名词，作raising的宾语。在本句中，raising the…是keeping
warms in的结果，也就是说，二氧化碳阻挡了地球热量的散发，造成的结果就是使地球的温度上升，可见本题答案为temperature。 知识模块：词汇理解
5． 【C5】
正确答案：E
解析：此处应为副词，作整句的状语。本句中的while和also两个词表明，汽车提供乐趣的同时也有其有害的一面，因此答案为unfortunately。 知识模块：词汇理解
6． 【C6】
正确答案：J
解析：此处应为形容词。该段最后一句的例子是为了举例说明本题空白处所在的句子的，由该例子可以看出，作者想表明汽车排放的危险物质的数量非常惊人，由此可以推断，本题答案为surprising。 知识模块：词汇理解
7． 【C7】
正确答案：F
解析：此处应为名词，并可与on搭配。根据本句句意，可以推断空白处应为average。on average意为“平均起来”。 知识模块：词汇理解
8． 【C8】
正确答案：G
解析：此处应为形容词。从该句中的as well as可以推断空白处的形容词应为贬义，表明汽车除了排放出一氧化碳外，还排放其他的有害物质，因此本题答案为poisonous。 知识模块：词汇理解
9． 【C9】
正确答案：H
解析：此处应为动词，而且是动词原形。从上下文的内容可以推断，科学家
正在尝试研发新型的汽车引擎，以减少空气污染，因此本题答案为develop。 知识模块：词汇理解
10． 【C10】
正确答案：C
解析：此处应为形容词。本段第4句和第5句两个问句表明，要改装现在已经投入使用的汽车以减少它们的污染很困难，花费很大，词库中只有expensive可以表达这个意思。要注意的是，词库中的essential一词放在空白处在语法和语义上也是成立的，但是如果结合上文两个问句的内容，essential就不如expensive合适了。 知识模块：词汇理解
Unless measures are taken at once, there is a possibility that all the oceans
of the world will be dead by the next century. How can this possibly happen? We
have already seen that people【C1】______all kinds of waste products to be thrown
into the sea. It is almost【C2】______to measure how much industrial waste ends up in
our oceans, but we can【C3】______how much oil is poured into them according to the
law and against the law. It is against the law to pour oil into the sea【C4】______to the
shore, but when a ship is many miles out to the sea there are no such【C5】______.
Estimate of the amount of oil poured in European Waters【C6】______is about
200,000 tons every year. Some people say the【C7】______could be ten times as high
around the world. It is not only our【C8】______that suffer from oil pollution.
Among other things, many fish now contain very high amounts of【C9】______substances. Next time you have fish to eat, how can you be sure that they are
free from oil pollution? You cannot see the【C10】______and you cannot taste them,
either. It is really quite a problem. Nearly all of the countries are trying hard to
prevent and control oil pollution. We hope that the day will soon come when fish will
be free from oil pollution. A. limitations B. seashores C. allow D. invade E.
close F. poisonous G. afterwards H. agenda I. edit J. figure K. impossible L. alone
M. effects N. calculate O. extensive
11． 【C1】
正确答案：C
解析：此处应为及物动词充当谓语成分。根据上下文的意思“人们______各种各样的废物被扔进大海”，只有allow(允许)最合适。 知识模块：词汇理解
12． 【C2】
正确答案：K
解析：此处应为形容词，可与to搭配，与is构成本句谓语。上一句提到的扔进大海的废物是all kinds，因此可推断to measure how much是很难或不可能的，词库中只有impossible最合适。 知识模块：词汇理解

1． For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay commenting
on the proverb, “ Variety is the spice of life.” You should write at least 120 words but
no more than 180 words.
正确答案： Variety is the Spice of Life As the proverb goes,
“Variety is the spice of life. “ Some people may be in favor of it while some others
may be not. In my opinion, we should not simply label it as right or wrong, but
explore it in depth. This proverb is especially true in the following aspects. First,
variety, which means more changes and experiences, brings us new feelings and ideas
vital for us to understand the essence of life. Second, if we desire to improve
ourselves, we are required to change for the better by making new attempts.

Most people know two things about Corsica; Napoleon was born here and it
was the haunt of bandits. The first is correct; the second is in the wrong tense. The
bandits are still here, taking potshots at anything that smacks of French domination
and flexing their muscles in the struggle for independence. But don’t let that
stop you visiting this magical place; perhaps the best-kept secret in the western
Mediterranean. The bandits are not out to get you—their main purpose in life seems
to be the destruction of French road signs, although from time to time they’ll blow up

Part I Writing
1． For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to unite a short essay entitled Do
One Thing at a Time, And Do It Well by commenting on the saying, “I can do many
things well at a time if given chances.” You should write at least120 words but no
more than 180 words. Do One Thing at a Time, And Do It Well
正确答案： Do One Thing at a Time, And Do It Well Though
many of us often boast that “I can do many things well at a time if given chances”, in
most cases, we would ultimately mess things up when we really have to handle many
things at the same time. Such failure drives us to follow the principle that “do one
thing at a time, and do it well”. At first glance, multitasking seems to be
英语四级翻译模拟题附答案和讲解 第141期-中国高铁
第 1 页 共 2 页
英语四级翻译模拟题附答案和讲解 第141期:中国高铁
中国正与17个国家协商，要把高铁网络(high-speed railway
network)延伸到这些国家。这些国家大多数矿产和能源资源都很丰富。这些线路将会按照中国高铁建设标准来铺设，最高时速可达到350公里。中国承诺为他们提供技术、设备和高速列车，甚至为那些愿意向中国提供自然资源的国家承担建设费用。目前，中俄两国已经就修建跨越西伯利亚（Siberia）的高铁路线达成了一致意见。
1.第1句中的“要把高铁网络延伸到这些国家”是协商的具体内容，“与某人协商某事”可用negotiation sth. with sth.或negotiation with sb. about sth的结构，句末的“这些国家”指代前面提到的“17个国家”，此处为避免用词重复，将“这些国家”译为their territory。
2.第2句的主干为“矿产和能灌资源都很丰富”，而主语的修饰成分较长，如按中文语序直译，则因主语太长而显得头重脚轻。故宜将主语转换为“这些国家大多数”，“很丰富”和“矿产和能源资源”分别处理为谓语和状语，译作 Most of them are rich in mineral and
energy resources,
3.第3句的两个分句语义联系不太紧密，可分译成两句。“这些线路将会按照中国高铁建设标准来铺设”虽无被动标识词，但实表被动，翻译时需译作these rails will be built...。“按照中国高
第 2 页 共 2 页 铁建设标准”作状语，可用现在分词短语 following China's
high-speed railway standard 来表达，也可用介词短语 by
China's...,或是 in accordance with China's...来表达。
4.第4句的主干是“中国承诺……为……承担建设费用”为“承诺”的具体内容，故可采用promise that...的句型，或用promise to

(1)The idea of creating a system that allows the underprivileged the
opportunity to break the cycle and achieve something is praiseworthy. So it never
ceases to amaze me how something so noble can be so blatantly abused and the
offenders are able to get away with it. (2)I live in a country—the only country, I

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is

of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D). You should

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make
are about money, but most mistakes are about people. “Did
Jerry really care when I broke up w ith Helen?” “When I got
that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or
did he envy my luck?” “And Paul — why didn't I pick up that he
was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back,
doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back,
