Paper Two(50 minutes)Part VI Translation(10 points)Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese. Write you answer on the Answer Sheet.Being unhappy is like an infectious disease. It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer. He soon finds himself alone and miserable. There is, however, a cure so simple as to seem, at first glance, ridiculous: if you don’t feel happy, pretend to be!It works. Before long you will find that instead of pushing people away, you attract them. You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will.Then the make-believe becomes a reality. Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into unimaginable gardens filled with grateful friends.不快乐就像一种传染病。
它会使人们远离患者。
很快他就发现自己孤独和痛苦。
然而，有一个看上去似乎很简单，乍看之下也貌似很可笑的方法：如果你不快乐，那就假装快乐吧！这个方法挺有效的。

2013英语专业四级真题语法、完型填空题及解析【完形填空原文】Everyone knows that taxation is necessary in a modern state: Without it, it would not be possible to pay the soldiers and policemen who protect us；nor the workers in government offices who look after our health, our food, our water, and all the other things that we cannot do for ourselves；nor the ministers and members of parliament(国会) who govern the country for us. By means of taxation, we pay for things that we need just as much as we need somewhere to live and something to eat.But everyone knows that taxation is necessary, different people have different ideas about how taxation should be arranged. Should each person have to pay a certain amount of money to the government each year? Or should there be tax on things that people buy and sell? If the first kind of taxation is used, should everyone pay the same tax, whether he is rich or poor? If the second kind of tax is preferred, should everything be taxed equally?In most countries, a direct tax on persons, which is called income tax, exists. It is arranged in such a way that the poorest people pay nothing, and the percentage of tax grows greater as the taxpayer’s income grows. In England, for example, the tax on the richest people goes up as high as ninety-five percent!But countries with direct taxation nearly always have indirect taxation too. Many things imported into the country have to pay taxes or “duties”. Of course, it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops who really have to pay the duties, in the form of higher prices. In some countries, too, there is a tax on things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected, but the poor people suffer most. If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed, less money is got but the tax is fairer, as the rich pay it.Probably this last kind of indirect tax, together with a direct tax on incomes which is low for the poor and high for the rich, is the best arrangement.【语法题真题及解析】51.

attention.A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness,the basic feature of the human brain that,when we concentrate intensely on one task,causes us to miss just about everything else.Because we can’t see what we can’t see,our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act.He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs back and forth ,three in which shirts and three in black,and our lask was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in which.The tape rolled,and everyone began counting.Everyone except me.I’m dyslexic,and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing bas ketball tossers,I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of their movements,so I let my mind wander.My curiosity was aroused,though,when about 30 seconds into the tape,a gorilla came in among the players.She(we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera,thumped her chest,and then strode away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped,the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses.Hands went up all over.He then asked wh o had counted13,14,and congratulated those who’d scored the perfect15.Then he asked,“And who saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so .He’d set us up,Itapping us in our own attention blindness.Yes,there had been a trick ,but he wasn’t the one who had played it on us.By concentrating so hard on counting,we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.21.This passage describesA.a basketball matchB.

Now Bali wants a slice of the action.The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with packages and services, Bali international Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua. BIMC already has an international hospital in Kuta , which opened in 1998.The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and dental care.Unlike most of the region’s hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort( 度假村) than a medical facility..The 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospital’s medical , and dental centers.If you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to know you’re here for a bit of lipo(吸脂术)，no worries. There’s a p rivate entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centre ,which offers views of a golf course.BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides specific after-care services like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patients.Latest technology and cool interiors are a start, but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of the worlds top international hospitals will be tough, says Josef-Woodman, CEO of U.S.-based medical travel consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders(PBB).“As a newcomer,Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healthcare providers.To compete,Bali will to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world .On the positive side,Bali is blessed as one of the region’s safest ,most popular tourist destinations,with a built -in potential to attract medical travelers.”The lndonesian island could’t have picked a better time to get into the game,says PBB.”The world population is aging and becoming weather at rates that surpass the availability of quality healthcare resources ,”says the company’s research.31.w hat does “medical tourism:(para 1)probably mean?A.Trcating a disease during a tripB.Attracting patients with package tours.C.Cosmetic treatment and a tour in one.D.Turning hospitals into tourist attractions.32.H ow does BLMC differ from regular hospitals?A.I t offers cosmctic surgery.B.I t has better environment and services.C.I t accepts international patients.D.I t has more beds and longer service hours.33.B IMC wishes to attract celebrities with its .A.privacy measuresB.first -class designC.free golf courseD.tailor-made meals34.According to Woodman ,BIMC .A.threatens its regional competitor.B.will soon take the led in the industry.C.needs further improvement.D.faces both challenges and opportunities.35.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A.The population is developing faster than medical resources.B.Healthcare is hardly available for the aging population .C.The world is in need of more quality medical care.D.The world population is becoming older and richer.Passage FourFor many of us, asking for help is it difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that the world would not have known about, had we not asked for help.Ironically, it’s been my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility ( 谦卑)to ask for help, they carn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn we are strengthened by the very help that is provided.One of my clients (we’ll call her Kira) recently made a shift in how she wa s interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, develop the content , deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often felt that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach was working for her. Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her boss’s support. She could learn far more about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss—focusing on the content plus her delivery—and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back end .So she made the request for his support.The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together on preparation for a number of Kira’s key presentations, she benefited from her boss’s thought process and was able to distinguish the critical compoments to enhance her own presentations. Kira’s presentations now have punch!Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places burdens on the other person. Ironically, we may be missing an opportunity to show others how we value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help. Furthermore, the more specific you can be about what you need from them, the easier it is for them to assist you.36.Many people are unwilling to ask for help because theyA. are confident of themselvesB. do not trust other peopleC. are ashamed of doing soD. do not think it necessary37.Which of the following may the author agree with?A .Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.B.Helping others is helping oneself.C.Well-positioned requests for help are welcomed.D.Weak people often need more help.38 .Kira’s request for helpA. turned out rewardingB. was turned downC. led to her promotion C. benefited her boss in return39.“Kirs’s presentations now have punch”means her presentations areA. ForcefulB. ControversialC. well receivedD. highly motivating40.The purpose of the passage is toA. illustrate how to ask for helpB. show the importance of mutual helpC. call for attention to others’ requestsD. encourage people to ask for helpSection BDirections: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A,B,C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.A fascinating n ew study reveals that Americans are more likely to call their children “intelligent”. while European parents focus on happiness and balance.Here’s what one parent had to say about the intelligence of her 3-year –old, which was apparent to her from the very first moments of her life.“I have this vivid memory, when she was born of them taking her to clean her off. And she was looking all around. She was alert from the very first second. I look her out when she was six weeks old to a shopping mall to have her picture taken people would stop me and say:“What an alert baby.”One guy stopped me and said,“Lady, she was on intelligent baby.”Not only are Americans far more likely to focus on their children’s intelligence and cognative skills, they are also far l ess likely to describe them as “happy” or “easy” children to parent.“The U.S. unhealthy interest in cognitive development in the early years overlooks so much else” the researchers told us.Comment1:Probably indicates more about difference in cultural attitudes towards humility and boasting than about parenting styles. Here in the Netherlands if someone called their child “intelligent” I’d be rolling my eyes, both because it’s probably biased and overstated and because it’s just a rotten thing to draw attention to, as if it’s all about whose child is “better”. Life isn’t than much of a damn contest to us.Comment2:Agreed! That would apply in Sweden too. Parenting is more focused on the child’s well-being than social competition (there may be pressures here too, but it is not socially acceptable to express those things).Comment3:I agree and I live in the U.S. Parents’ opinions of their children’s intellect are definitely biased and overstated. It is the most annoying thing to listen to. Beijing “advanced” at a young age has little if anything to dowith their ability to learn as they get older and EVERY child is a genius if you give them a chance and an ear to listen to them. The happier the kid is, the smarter they will be. Happy and healthy is key.41.The passage is mainly concerned with cultural differences inA. bringing up one’s childrenB. describing one’s childrenC. social contestD. choosing a place to live in42.The word “alert” (para.3) is closest in meaning to“”A. intelligentB. easy-goingC. quick at noticing thingsD. happy43.According to Comment1,in ten Netherlands, calling one’s own child “intelligent” isA. boastingB. acceptableC. encouragingD. reasonable44.What nationality is the writer of Comment2?A. DutchB. AmericanC. SwedishD. French45.All of the following are true of Comment 3 EXCEPT thatA.it agrees with all the other commentsB.being happy and healthy is importantC.being intelligent at a young makes no senseD.children’s intellect varies from person to personPart IV Cloze (10 minutes, 10 points)Directions: In this part, t here is a passage with ten blanks .
