2015年12月大学英语4级真题答案（第二套）Part I WritingLearning Should Be A Lifelong ProcessIt is often said that learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission, which indicates the importance of lifelong learning we have been lectured over and over again.Lifelong learning is crucial to our life and career in modern society. Living in such an era of rapid development of information, we have to keep pace with times through ceaseless learning; otherwise, we’ll be too out to seize many opportunities. For example, a taxi driver who learns to use a Taxi App such as Didi can make much more money than those who don’t every day; a housewife who opens a shop online can even out-earn a white-collar worker. All of their successes can be attributed to their constant learning in addition to the progress of technology.There is an old saying that you are never too old to learn. Thus, learning is an attitude regardless of age. Only through learning ceaselessly can we achieve our potential and live a better life in this rapidly developing society.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A1.

other26 bodies out there besides the moon and stars.One of the most27of these is a comet (彗星).Comets were formed around the same time the Earth was formed.They are28 ice and other frozen liquids and gases.29these“dirty snowballs”begin to orbit the sun,just as the planets do.As a comet gets closer to the sun,some gases in it begin to unfreeze.They30 dust particles from the comet to form a huge cloud.As the comet gets even nearer to the sun,a solar wind blows the cloud behind the comet,thus forming its tail.The tail and the31fuzzy(模糊的)atmosphere around a comet are32that can help identify this33in the night sky.In any given year,about a dozen known comets come close to the sun in their orbits.The average person can’t see them all,of ually there is only one or two a year bright enough to be seen with et Hale-Bopp,discovered in 1995,was an unusually bright comet.Its orbit brought it35close to the Earth,within 122million miles of it.But Hale-Bopp came a long way on its earthly

the following passage.Scholars of the information society are divided over whether social inequality decreases or increases in an information-based society.However,they generally agree with the idea that inequality in the information society is36different from that of an industrial society.As informatization progresses in society,the cause and structural nature of social inequality changes as well.It seems that the information society37the quantity of information available to the members of a society by revolutionizing the ways of using and exchanginginformation.But such a view is a38analysis based on the quantity of information supplied by various forms of the mass media.A different39is possible when the actual amount of information40by the user is taken into account.In fact,the more information41throughout the entire society,the wider the gap becomes between “information haves”and“information have-nots”,leading to digital divide.According to recent studies,digital divide has been caused by three major42：class,sex,and generation.In terms of class,digital divide exists among different types of workers and between the upper and middle classes and the lower class.With 43to sex,digital divide exists between men and women.The greatest gap,however,is between the Net-generation,44with personal computers and the Internet,and the older generation,45to an industrial society.A)AccustomedB)AcquiredC)AssemblyD)AttributeE)ChampionsF)ElementsG)ExpandsH)FamiliarI)FlowsJ)FundamentallyK)InterpretationL)PassiveM)RegardN)RespectivelyO)SuperficialSection BDirections:In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of theparagraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information isderived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraphis marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking thecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.Joy:A Subject Schools LackBecoming educated should not require giving up pleasure.A)When Jonathan Swift proposed,in1729,that the people of Ireland eat their children,he insisted it would solve three problems at once：feed the hungry masses, reduce the population during a severe depression,and stimulate the restaurant business.Even as a satire(讽刺),it seems disgusting and shocking in America with its child-centered culture.But actually,the country is closer to his proposal than you might think.B)If you spend much time with educators and policy makers,you’ll hear a lotof the following words:“standards,”“results,”“skills,”“self-control,”“accountability,”and so on.I have visited some of the newer supposedly“effective”schools,where children shout slogans in order to learn self-control or must stand behind their desk when they can’t sit still.C)A look at what goes on in most classrooms these days makes it abundantly clear that when people think about education,they are not thinking about what it feels like to be a child,or what makes childhood an important and valuable stage of life in its own right.D)I’m a mother of three,a teacher,and a developmental psychologist.So I’ve watched a lot of children—talking,playing,arguing,eating,studying,and being young.Here’s what I’ve come to understand.The thing that sets children apart from adults is not their ignorance,nor their lack of skills.It’s their enormous capacity for joy.Think of a3-year-old lost in the pleasures of finding out what he can and cannot sink in the bathtub,a5-year-old beside herself with the thrill of putting together strings of nonsensical words with her best friends,or an11-year-old completely absorbed in a fascinating comic strip.A child’s ability to become deeply absorbed in something,and derive intense pleasure from that absorption,is something adults spend the rest of their lives trying to return to.E)A friend told me the following story.One day,when he went to get his 7-year-old son from soccer practice,his kid greeted him with a downcast face and a sad voice.The coach had criticized him for not focusing on his soccer drills.The little boy walked out of the school with his head and shoulders hanging down.He seemed wrapped in sadness.But just before he reached the car door,he suddenly stopped, crouching(蹲伏)down to peer at something on the sidewalk.His face went down lower and lower,and then,with complete joy he called out,“e here.This is the strangest bug I’ve ever seen.It has,like,a million legs.Look at this.It’s amazing.”He looked up at his father,his features overflowing with energy and delight.“Can’t we stay here for just a minute?I want to find out what he does with all those legs.This is the coolest ever.”F)The traditional view of such moments is that they constitute a charming but irrelevant byproduct of youth—something to be pushed aside to make room for more important qualities,like perseverance(坚持不懈),obligation,and practicality.Yet moments like this one are just the kind of intense absorption and pleasure adults spend the rest of their lives seeking.Human lives are governed by the desire to experience joy.Becoming educated should not require giving up joy but rather lead to finding joy in new kinds of things:reading novels instead of playing with small figures, conducting experiments instead of sinking cups in the bathtub,and debating serious issues rather than stringing together nonsense words,for example.In some cases, schools should help children find new,more grown-up ways of doing the same things that are constant sources of joy:making art,making friends,making decisions.G)Building on a child’s ability to feel joy,rather than pushing it aside,wouldn’t be that hard.It would just require a shift in the education world’s mindset（思维模式）. Instead of trying to get children to work hard,why not focus on getting them to take pleasure in meaningful,productive activity,like making things,working with others,exploring ideas,and solving problems?These focuses are not so different from the things in which they delight.H)Before you brush this argument aside as rubbish,or think of joy as an unaffordable luxury in a nation where there is awful poverty,low academic achievement,and high dropout rates,think again.The more horrible the school circumstances,the more important pleasure is to achieving any educational success.I)Many of the assignments and rules teachers come up with,often because they are pressured by their administrators,treat pleasure and joy as the enemies of competence and responsibility.The assumption is that children shouldn’t chat in the classroom because it hinders hard work;instead,they should learn to delay gratification(快乐)so that they can pursue abstract goals,like going to college.J)Not only is this a boring and awful way to treat children,it makes no sense educationally.Decades of research have shown that in order to acquire skills and real knowledge in school,kids need to want to learn.You can force a child to stay in his or her seat,fill out a worksheet,or practice division.But you can’t force the child to think carefully,enjoy books,digest complex information,or develop a taste for learning.To make that happen,you have to help the child find pleasure in learning—to see school as a source of joy.K)Adults tend to talk about learning as if it were medicine:unpleasant,but necessary and good for you.Why not instead think of learning as if it were food—something so valuable to humans that they have evolved to experience it as a pleasure?L)Joy should not be trained out of children or left for after-school programs. The more difficult a child’s life circumstances,the more important it is for that child to find joy in his or her classroom.“Pleasure”is not a dirty word.And it doesn’t run counter to the goals of public education.It is,in fact,the precondition.46.It will not be difficult to make learning a source of joy if educators change their way of thinking.47.What distinguishes children from adults is their strong ability to derive joy from what they are doing.48.Children in America are being treated with shocking cruelty.49.It is human nature to seek joy in life.50.Grown-ups are likely to think that learning to children is what medicine is to patients.51.Bad school conditions make it all the more important to turn learning into a joyful experience.52.Adults do not consider children’s feelings when it comes to education.53.Administrators seem to believe that only hard work will lead children to their educational goals.54.In the so-called“effective”schools,children are taught self-control under a set of strict rules.55.To make learning effective,educators have to ensure that children want to learn.Section CDirections:There are2passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are fourchoices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choiceand mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2with a single line,through the centre.Passage OneQuestions56to60are based on the following passage.When it’s five o’clock,people leave their office.The length of the workday,for many workers,is defined by time.They leave when the clock tells them they’re done.These days,the time is everywhere:not just on clocks or watches,but on cell-phones and computers.That may be a bad thing,particularly at work.New research shows that clock-based work schedules hinder morale(士气)and creativity.Clock-timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours.For example：a meeting from9a.m.to10a.m.,research from10a.m.to noon,etc.On the other hand,task-timers have a list of things they want to accomplish.They work down the list,each task starts when the previous task is completed.It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning.What,then,are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways?Does one make us more productive?Better at the tasks at hand?Happier?In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier,they had participants organize different activities—from project planning,holiday shopping,to yoga—by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under“clock time vs“task time.”They found clock timers to be more efficient but less happy because they felt little control over their lives.Task timers are happier and more creative,but less productive.They tend to enjoy the moment when something good is happening,and seize opportunities that come up.The researchers argue that task-based organizing tends to be undervalued and under-supported in business culture.Smart companies,they believe,will try to bake more task-based planning into their strategies.This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office,but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic of the economy:work organized by dock time.While most people will still probably need,and be,to some extent,clock-timers,task-based timing should be used when perfoming a job that requires more creativity.It’ll make those tasks easier,arid the task-doers will be happier.56.What does the author think of time displayed everywhere?A)It makes everybody time-conscious.B)It is a convenience for work and lifeC)It may have a negative effect on creative work.D)It clearly indicates the fast pace of modem life.57.How do people usually go about their work according to the author?A)They combine clock-based and task-based planning.B)They give priority to the most urgent task on hand.C)They set a time limit for each specific task.D)They accomplish their tasks one by one.58.What did Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier find in their experiments about clocks timers?A)They seize opportunities as they come up.B)They always get their work done in time.C)They have more control over their lives.D)They tend to be more productive.59.What do the researchers say about today’s business culture?A)It does not support the strategies adopted by smart companies.B)It does not attach enough importance to task-based practice.C)It places more emphasis on work efficiency than on workers5lives.D)It aims to bring employees,potential and creativity into full play.60.What do the researchers suggest?A)Task-based timing is preferred for doing creative work.B)It is important to keep a balance between work and life.C)Performing creative jobs tends to make workers happier.D)A scientific standard should be adopted in job evaluation.Passage TwoQuestions61to65are based on the following passage.Martha Stewart was charged,tried and competed of a crime in2004.As she neared the end of her prison sentence,a well-known columnist wrote that she was “paying her dues,”and that“there is simply no reason for anyone to attempt to deny her right to start anew.”Surely,the American ideal of second chances should not be reserved only for the rich and powerful.Unfortunately,many federal and state laws impose post-conviction restrictions on a shockingly large number of Americans,who are prevented from ever fully paying their debt to society.At least65million people in the United States have a criminal record.This can result in severe penalties that continue long after punishment is completed.Many of these penalties are imposed regardless of the seriousness of the offense or the person’s individual ws can restrict or ban voting,access to public housing,and professional and business licensing.They can affect a person’s ability to get a job and qualification for benefits.In all,more than45,000laws and rules serve to exclude vast numbers of people from fully participating in American life.Some laws make sense.No one advocates letting someone convicted of pedophilia（恋童癖）work in a school.But too often collateral(附随的）consequences bear no relation to public safety.Should a woman who possessed a small amount of drugs years ago be permanently unable to be licensed as a nurse?These laws are also counterproductive,since they make it harder for people with criminal records to find housing or land a job,two key factors that reduce backsliding.A recent report makes several recommendations,including the abolition of most post-conviction penalties,except for those specifically needed to protect public safety. Where the penalties are not a must,they should be imposed only if the facts of a case support it.The point is not to excuse or forget the crime.Rather,it is to recognize that in America’s vast criminal justice system,second chances are crucial.It is in no one’s interest to keep a large segment of the population on the margins of society.61.What does the well-known columnist’s remark about Martha Stewart suggest?A)Her past record might stand in her way to a new life.B)Her business went bankrupt while she was in prison.C)Her release from prison has drawn little attention.D)Her prison sentence might have been extended.62.What do we learn from the second paragraph about many criminals in America?A)They backslide after serving their terms in prison.B)They are deprived of chances to turn over a new leaf.C)They receive severe penalties for committing minor offenses.D)They are convicted regardless of their individual circumstances.63.What are the consequences for many Americans with a criminal record?A)They remain poor for the rest of their lives.B)They are deprived of all social benefits.C)They are marginalized in society.D)They are deserted by their family.64.What does the author think of the post-conviction laws and rules?A)They help to maintain social stability.B)Some of them have long been outdated.C)They are hardly understood by the public.D)A lot of them have negative effects on society.65.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?A)To create opportunities for criminals to reform themselves.B)To appeal for changes in America’s criminal justice system.C)To ensure that people with a criminal record live a decent life.D)To call people’s attention to prisoners’conditions in America.Part IV Translation(30minutes) Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.You should write your answer on Answer Sheet2.中国父母往往过于关注孩子的学习，以至于不要他们帮忙做家务。

参考范文：Currently in this constantly changing world，learning becomes a seemingly convenient but actually more complex matter。

Apparently，the meaning of this saying is that if we truly desire to learn something，we are supposed to devote our life to it。
There are several reasons accounting for this viewpoint。
For one thing，learning itself is an actually complicated and painful matter，and as a result，it is advisable for us to commit much more time even our whole life to it。
2015年12月四级真题三套翻译及其答案
• Chinese parents tend to pay so much attention to the academic performance of their children that they stop their kids from helping with the housework. The primary requirement for children is to study hard. Children are entitled to go to elite universities with high exam scores. Parents believe this is for the benefit of their children. Because in a highly competitive society like China, only high scores can guarantee kids a bright future. Chinese parents also think that they will be respected if their children make greater achievements in society. Therefore, parents are willing to sacrifice their own time, hobbies and interest to provide their children with better conditions.

2015年12月大学英语四级翻译练习（附答案）翻译原文：在中国，如果不了解“面子”的含义，则很难理解许多行为言辞。
面子通常可理解为社会对一个人名誉和声望（prestige）的看法。
因此，中国人向来很重视面子问题。
丢面子会导致一个人在人际交往中失去权威。
中国人通常不会公开指出令人尴尬的事实，从而避免让另一个人丢面子。
如果要给某人面子，则可以在大众面前赞美他，欣赏他的才能，或对他表示尊重。
参考译文：1.第1句中的“……很难理解……”可套用句型it is + a.+ to do sth（做某事怎么样），译作it is difficult to underatand…条件状语“如果不了解‘面子’的含义”可用从句来表达you don't know the concept of "face"也可用介词短语without knowing the concept of "face"来翻译。
2.第2句“面子通常可理解为社会对……的看法”虽然没有被动标识词，实际上有被动含义，故英译时须体现，译作 face is commonly viewed as…。
“对一个人名誉和声望的”用介词短语of a person's reputation and prestige 来表达。
3.倒数第2句中的“从而避免让另一个人丢面子”表目的，故将其处理成目的状语，用不定式短语so as to avoid making…来表达，动词avoid后接动名词形式。
4.最后一句为无主语句，英译时，应增译主语you或者we，此处用we更符合上下文的论述。
“在大众面前”，可译为in front of other people，但更地道的表达是in public，如“她不好意思在大众面前唱歌”，译为 She is too shy to sing in public.In China, it is difficult to understand many behaviors and speeches without knowing the concept of “face”. Face is commonly viewed as social perspective of a person's reputation and prestige. Therefore, Chinese people have been paying close attention to their face. Losing face will result in one's loss of authority in the interpersonal communication. Usually the Chinese will not point out embarrassing facts in public so as to avoid making another person lose face. If we want to give face to somebody, we can praise him in public, appreciate his ability or show respect to him.翻译原文：在中国，赠送礼物应考虑具体情况和场合。
礼物常用红色或其他喜庆的颜色（festive color）来包装，但白色或黑色不适宜用于此。
当你将礼物递出去时，收礼者（recipient）可能会礼貌谢绝。
在情况下试着将礼物再-次送出去。
通常收礼者在客人离开之后才打开礼物。
此外，送礼还有—些禁忌（taboo）如给夫妻送伞就不合适，因为中文里“伞”与“散”同音。
参考译文：1.第1句中的“赠送礼物应考虑具体情况和场合”不能直译成presenting gifts should consider the specificsituation and occasion，因为在英语表达习惯中，consider的施动者应该是人而不是事情，故翻译时应增加代词we或one作主语。
2.第4句中“在这种情况下”既可译为in this case，也可译为in/under the circumstances, in sucha situation等。
状语“再一次”可译作once again，并按英语的表达习惯置于句末。
3.翻译倒数第2句时，可套用not…until（直到……才）句型，译作the recipient won't…until the guestleaves.4.最后一句中举例的部分“如……，因为……”使用的文字较多，宜拆译为另一个句子，译作For example…。
“给夫妻送伞就不合适”可用it is + a. + to do sth.这种句型来表达，译作it is inappropriate to anumbrella…。
In China, we should consider the specific situationand occasion when presenting gifts. The gifts areusually packaged in red or other festive colors. Butwhite and black and not suitable in the packaging.When you offer the gift,the recipient may refuse itpolitely. In this case, you could try to offer thepresent once again. Usually, the recipient won'topen the gift until the guest leaves. In addition, there are some taboos in giving gifts. Forexample, it is inappropriate to present an umbrella as a gift to a couple because the word"umbrella" has the same pronunciation with another word "separate" in Chinese.翻译原文：生活在移动互联网时代，大学生们已然离不开网络。
—些颇具创新力的学生从微博（microblog）和衡微信（WeChat）中看到了商机。
桂林一所大学的三名学生注册了一个微信送餐账号。
现在他们每天处理2000多份订单，给同学们的生活带来了许多便利。
更多的学生选择了网上开店，出售各种物品。
通过创业，大学生们不仅可以挣到自己的学费，更重要的是培养了实践能力。
参考译文：1.第1句中的“生活在移动互联网时代”可处理为伴随状语，用现在分词短语livng in the mobile Internet age 来表达。
“已然离不开网络”可译为cannot live without theInternet，但由于句首已经用到living，按英语避免重复的表达习惯，此处可译为cannot be separated from theInternet now.2.第3句中的定语“桂林一所大学的”较长，故将其处理成后置定语，用介词短语from a university in Guilin来表达。
“注册了一个微信送餐账号”中，“微信”是一个网络平台，表地点，译作on WeChat，置于中心词“账号”（account）后。
定语“送餐”表目的，故用不定式短语来表达，译为to deliver meals.3.第4句“现在他们……，给同学……便利”有两个分句，仔细分析发现，后半句是前半句的结果，故可将后半句处理成结果状语，译为分词短语providing a lot of convenience to other students，结构清晰明了。
“同学们的生活”中的“生活”可略去不译，只译出“同学们”，不影响译文的意思。
4.最后一句中的“更重要的是…可译成短语What is more important或More importantly，或套用句型What's more important is that…。
培养了实践能力”暗含动作已完成，故应该用现在完成时，译作theyhave cultivated their practical ability.Living in the mobile Internet age, college studentscannot be separated from the Internet now. Somecreative students have seen business opportunitiesfrom microblog and WeChat. Three students from auniversity in Guilin registered an account on WeChatto deliver meals. Now they handle more than 2,000orders every day, providing a lot of convenience toother students. More students choose to set up online shops and sell various kinds of items.Through running theirown business, college students can earn their tuition. What is moreimportant, they have cultivated their practical ability.翻译原文：敦煌莫高窟（Dunhuang Mogao Caves）坐落于中国西部甘肃省。
这些石窟刻于距离敦煌东南方向25公里处鸣沙山的悬崖上。
敦煌莫高窟是规模最大、保存时间最长的佛教（Buddhist）艺术宝库，现存735个洞窟，壁画（frescoes）4万5千多平方米。
这些壁画展现了佛（Buddha）的形象和活动以及人与神之间的关系。
敦煌壁画中的舞蹈人物是全人类的一颗璀璨的宝石。
敦煌莫高窟在1987年被列入世界遗产名录（World Heritage Iist）。
参考译文：1.第2句中的定语“距离教煌东南方向25公里处鸣沙山的”较长，故将其处理成后置定语按英文的表达习惯，把相关性强的词语放一起，故将“鸣沙山”后置于cliff，但如果把on amount called Mingsha 直接置于 on a cliff后，则读起来不顺秘，故把on a mount called Mingsha置于句末。
