1993年英语专业四级考试真题TEM4考试真题
1993年英语专业四级真题Part I 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 centre.Passage ACalifornia is a land of variety and contrast. Almost every type of physical land feature, short of arctic ice fields and tropical jungles can be found within its borders. Sharply contrasting types of land often lie very close to one another.People living in Bakersfield, for instance, can visit the Pacific Ocean and the coastal plain, the fertile San Joaquin Valley, the arid Mojave Desert, and the high Sierra Nevada, all within a radius of about 100 miles. In other areas it is possible to go snow skiing in the morning and surfing in the evening of the same day, without having to travel long distances.Contrast abounds in California. The highest point in the United States (outside Alaska)is in California, and so is the lowest point (including Alaska).Mount Whitney, 14 494 feet above sea level, is separated from Death Valley,282 feet below sea level, by a distance of only 100 miles. The two areas have a difference in altitude of almost three miles.California has deep, clear mountain lakes like Lake Tahoe, the deepest in the country, but it also has shallow, salty desert lakes. It has Lake Tulainyo, 12 020 feet above sea level, and the lowest lake in the country, the Salton Sea, 236 feet below sea level. Some of its lakes, like Owens Lake in Death Valley, are not lakes at all; they are dried-up lakebeds.In addition to mountains, lakes, valleys, deserts, and plateaus, California has its Pacific coastline, stretching longer than the coastlines of Oregon and Washington combined.1.Which of the following is the lowest point in the United States?ke Tulainyo.B.Mojave Desert.C.Death Valley.D.The Salton Sea.2.Where is the highest point in the United States located?ke Tahoe.B.Sierra Nevada.C.Mount Whitney.D.Alaska.3.How far away is Death Valley from Mount Whitney?A.About 3 miles.B.Only 100 miles.C.282 feet.D.14 494 feet.4.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as being within a radius of about 100 miles of Bakersfield?A.The Pacific Ocean.B.San Joaquin Valley.C.Mojave Desert.D.Oregon and Washington.5.Which statement best demonstrates that California is a land of variety and contrast?A.The highest lake in California is Lake Tulainyo.B.It is possible to go surfing and snow skiing in some parts of California without having to travel long distance.C.Sierra Nevada, San Joaquin Valley, Mojave Desert and the Pacific Ocean all lie within a radius of about 100 miles.D.Owens Lake, in Death Valley, is not really a lake at all.Passage BBy far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snakebites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snakebites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.6.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.The adder is the only poisonous snake in Britain.B.In Scotland there are no other snakes except the adder.C.Snake bites seem more dangerous than they actually are.D.People’s attempts at emergency treatment are utterly unnecessary.7.Adders are most likely to be found _______.A.in wilder parts of Britain and IrelandB.in Scotland and nowhere elseC.on uncultivated land throughout BritainD.in shady fields in England8.We are told that British snakes are _____.A.afraid of human beingsB.poisonous including the adderC.dangerous except the adderD.friendly towards human beings9.When will the adder not attack you?A.When you try to catch it.B.When you are some distance away from it.C.When you happen to step on it.D.When you try to pick it up.10.If an adder hears you coming, it will usually ______.A.attack you immediatelyB.disappear very quicklyC.wait to frighten youD.move out of the way11.According to the passage, a snake bite is _______.A.more harmful to a healthy man than to a sick manB.less harmful to an adult than to a childC.more dangerous than any serious illnessD.always fatal in BritainPassage CConcern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the “typical” Frenchman produces mo re, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that “assembly-line life” will le ad to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life——to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe?Since the late 1950’s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence.In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.12.Which of the following is NOT given as a feature of the old French way of life?A.Leisure.B.Elegance.C.Efficiency.D.Taste.13.Which of the following is NOT related to the new French way of life?A.Shorter lunch hour.B.Greater output.C.Creature comforts.D.Leisurely cafe talk.14.Which of the following is NOT true about Frenchmen?A.Many of them prefer the modern life style.B.They actually enjoy working at the assembly line.C.They are more concerned with money than before.D.They are more competitive than the older generation.15.The passage suggests that ______.A.in pursuing material gains the French are suffering losses elsewhereB.it’s now unlikely to see a Frenchman enjoying a stroll by the riverC.the French are fed up with the smell of freshly picked applesD.great changes have occurred in the life style of all Frenchmen16.Which of the following is true about the critics?A.Critics are greater in number than people enjoying the new way of life.B.Student critics are greater in number than critics in other fields.C.Student critics have, on occasion, resorted to violent means against the trend.D.Critics are concerned solely with the present and not the future.17.Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?A.Changes in the French way of life.B.Criticism of the new life style.C.The Americanization of France.D.Features of the new way of life.Passage DUltralight(超轻型的) airplanes are a recent development in aviation that provide what aviation enthusiasts have long been seeking: an inexpensive airplane that is easy to fly. The ultralight plane was born of the marriage of the hang glider and the go-kart(微型单座竞赛车) engine around 1974, when John Moody mounted a 12 -horsepower go-kart engine on his Icarus H hang glider. Today’s ultralights are not just hang gliders with engines; they are“air recreation vehicles”. Modern ultralight planes use snowmobile(雪地机动车) engines that let them cruise at about 50 miles per hour , climb at about 500 feet per minute, and carry combined payloads of pilot and fuel up to about 200 pounds, which is about equal to an ultralight plane’s weight when empty. More than ten thousand ultralight planes were sold last year at prices ranging from $ 2 800 to $ 7000. But the main reason for the increasing popularity of these aircraft is not that they are inexpensive, but that they are fun to fly.The modern ultralight plane would look very familiar to the earliest pioneers of aviation. Otto Lilienthal made more than 2000 flights in Germany in the 1890’s in what were actually hanggliders. Octave Chanute designed and built many early hang glider s. Augustus Herring, Chanute’s assistant, used these gliders as models for a glider that he built for himself. On this glider, Herring installed a compressed-air motor and flew 267 feet in 1898. The Wright brothers’ Flyer was the grandfather of today’s ult ralight planes. The pilot sat right out in the open, just as in modern ultralights, and used controls that were much the same as those used in today’s machines. Though most ultralight planes are used for pleasure flying, some are also used for crop dusting, aerial photography, and even military observation service. The likelihood is that further uses will be found for ultralight planes, but their greatest use will continue to be as air recreational vehicles.18.The author seems to feel that ultralight airplanes are ______.A.a toy for the richB.nothing but hang glidersC.a new development that meets the needs of aviation enthusiastsD.the most important development in aviation since the Wright brothers’ Flyer19.According to the passage, today’s ultralight airplanes _______.A.are inexpensive but difficult to flyB.are more like go-karts than like hang glidersC.cannot climb as last or as high as hang glidersD.are not too different from the earlier aircraft20.The author compares John Moody’s use of a go-kart engine on a hang glider to _______.A.a marriageB.the flight of IcarusC.cruising in a snowmobileD.soaring and gliding from a high altitude21.Which of the following statements is an opinion?A.Ultralight planes use snowmobile engines that let them cruise at about 50 miles per hour.B.John Moody used a 12-horse-power engine to power his Icarus II hang glider.C.The use of ultralight planes will increase in such areas as crop dusting and aerial photography.D.Otto Lilienthal made more than 2000 flights in Germany in the 1890’s in what were actually hang gliders.22.The author finds great similarity between _______.A.the weight of the hang glider and that of the ultralight airplaneB.ultralight airplanes and military aircraftC.the inventiveness of John Moody and that of Octave ChanuteD.the controls used in the Wright brothers’Flyer and those used in today’s ultralight airplanes23.The best title for this passage is _______.A.The Flying SnowmobileB.The History of Recent AviationC.How the Ultralight Plane FliesD.The Ultralight Plane, a Recent DevelopmentPassage EAll Eskimos live most of their lives close to salt or fresh water. They may follow game inlandfor several hundred miles, but they always return to the shores of rivers, Lakes, or seas. Eskimo land has a bare look. Large rocks, pebbles, and sand cover much of the surface . Plants called lichen(地衣)grow right on rock. And where there is enough soil, even grass, flowers and small bushes manage to live. No trees can grow on Eskimo land, so geographers sometimes call this country the Arctic plains. Some animals, such as rabbits and caribou(北美驯鹿) ,eat the plants. Others, like the white fox and grey wolf, eat the rabbits and caribou. The Eskimo is a meat eater, too, and may even eat a wolf when food is scarce.The Eskimo year has two main parts: a long, cold winter and a short, cool summer. Spring and fall are almost too short to be noticed. Summer is the good time, when food is usually plentiful. But it is also the time when the Eskimos are very busy. Winter is never far away , and the men must bring home extra meat for the women to prepare and store. For seldom can enough animals be killed in winter to feed a family.The Far North is sometimes called the land of the midnight sun. This is true in the middle of summer, for between April 21st and August 21st the sun never sets in Northern Greenland. But in midwinter the Far North is a land with no sun shining at all. Around Oct. 21st the Eskimos of Northern Greenland see the sun setting straight south of them, and they don’t see it again until February 22nd. All places on earth get about the same amount of daylight during a year. As a result, if summer is lighter, winter has to be darker.Winter nights in the Far North are seldom pitch-black. As in the rest of the world, the stars and moon provide a little light. The northern lights also help the Eskimo to see. And with the ground covered with snow, even a little ligh t is reflected back to the Eskimo’s eyes.24.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Eskimos do not normally eat wolves.B.Eskimos like to chase one another.C.Eskimos depend heavily on water.D.Eskimos are meat-eaters.25.On Eskimo land ______.A.rabbits live on the plantsB.soil is rich and plentifulC.grass grows more easily than lichenD.lichen is found only on rock26.In the Eskimo year, _______.A.there are no spring and fallB.winter is cold and summer is hotC.summer is a time for growing foodD.winter comes early and goes late27.From the passage, we can infer all except that _______.A.Eskimos are more likely to eat wolves in summerB.Eskimo women are responsible for houseworkC.animal meat is Eskimos’ ma in source of foodD.hunting is an important part of Eskimo life28.In midwinter there is no sun shining in the Far North because _______.A.the Far North is too far away from the sunB.the sun is not seen again for six monthsC.the sun never sets in midsummerD.people see the sun setting straight south of them29.Winter nights are seldom pitch-black in the Far North because of _______.A.the moon and starsB.the northern lightsC.snow on the groundD.all of the above mentioned factors30.The best title for the passage is _______.A.Story of the EskimoB.Eskimo Land and ClimateC.The Bare Far NorthD.The Eskimo YearPassage FThe incident occurred one morning outside Albert Schweitzer’s hospital in the African jungle. A patient had gone fishing in another man’s boat. The owner of the boat thought he should be given all the fish that were caught. Dr. Schweitzer said to the boat owner.“You are right because the other man ought to have asked permission to use your boat. But you are wrong because you are careless and lazy. You merely twisted the chain of your canoe round a palm tree instead of fastening it with a padlock. Of laziness you are guilty because you were asleep in your hut on this moonlit night instead of making use of the good opportunity for fishing.”He turned to the patient: “But you were in the wrong when you took the boat without asking the owner’s permission. You were in the right because you were not so lazy as he was and you did not want to let the moonlit night go by without making some use of it.”Dr. Schweitzer divided the catch (捕获物) among the fisherman, the boat owner and the hospital.31.Dr. Schweitzer was able to settle the argument because ______.A.he was the judge thereB.he was clever and impartialC.he wanted some of the fishD.he wanted to help his patient32.The final judgment was that ______.A.all the fish should go to the patientB.the fish should go to the owner of the canoeC.the fish should be destroyedD.everyone involved should get a third of the fishPassage GThere are many commonly held beliefs about glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have the wrong glasses.We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. But, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight.Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another. There are close to one million nerve fibers that connect the eyeball to the brain, and it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some day a full transplant may be possible.33.This passage is mostly concerned with ______.A.different types of glassesB.a visit to the eye doctorC.myths about eyesightD.eye transplant34.One cause of eyestrain mentioned in the passage is _______.A.wearing contact lenses too longB.reading a lotC.going to the moviesD.not visiting your eye doctorPart II V ocabulary (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

考研英语历年翻译真题解析_1990-2007
英汉翻译高分攻略一.近年英译汉考题内容英译汉短文内容大体上涉及当前人们普遍关注的社会生活、政治、经济、历史、文化、科普等方面的一般常识或社会、自然科学与技术常识的题材。
体裁多为议论文。
科学常识性的题材占了相当大的比重。
1990~2004年英译汉短文主题1990年:个性形成的教育(434词);1991年:能源与农业(444词)1992年:智力评估的科学性(406词)1993年:科学研究方法(443词)1994年:天才、技术与科学发展的关系(308词)1995年:标准化教育与心理评估(364词)1996年:科学发展的动力(331词)1997年:动物的权利(417词)1998年:宇宙起源(376词)1999年:史学研究方法(326词)2000年:科学家与政府(381词)2001年:计算机与未来生活展望(405词)2002年:行为科学发展的困难(339词)2003年:人类学简介(371词)2004年:语言与思维(357词)平均值:短文词数:370词;要求翻译的词数:160词从英译汉试题内容分析,考生就应明确认识到,要想在英语考试中取得成功,必须在基本训练上狠下工夫。
首先要扩大知识面,提高自身文化素质。
考生如果熟悉试题内容,将有助于对短文的深入理解,增强信心,提高翻译水平。
考生应利用各种渠道,特别是通过大量浏览中、英文报纸杂志,扩大相关的知识面。
二.近年英译汉考题的特点从题型改革后、特别是1996年以后的试题分析,命题组更侧重考生综合运用语言的能力,题难度加大,趋向稳定。
考题要求考生在理解全句、全段或全文的基础上,把语法、词汇的意思和上下文结合起来理解,表面看上去画线的句子语法不很复杂,词汇似乎也不陌生,但翻译时很多考生觉得难以动笔,难度增大体现在:不能采用就词论词、就句子论句子的简单直译方法,而要求把词和句子放在篇章里去理解,还可强调英语习惯用法、语感和翻译技巧的掌握。
这样仅靠熟悉语法规则和孤立地背单词已远远不够了。

答案解析:1993-2000年阅读题答案解析
1993年阅读真题Passage 121.依据第一段最后一句话,得出[B]是正确答案。
22.依据第三段第二句的意思,确定[C]是正确答案。
23.依据第五段第三句,确定[C]是正确答案。
原文中的even more incredible和题干中的exceptionally remarkable是同义替换。
24.正确答案是[B],从第五段的第一句可以得出[A],从第五段的第二,第三句可以推断出[C],尤其是是短文中有pick out和selective近义。
从第四段第一句的前一个分句可以推断出[D],而且其中fixed一词与考题中的definite近义。
25.从第四段第一句中的but可以推断出[D]是正确答案。
全文参考译文就像食物一样,语言也会是人类的基本需求吗?在生命的关键时期,孩子如果没有语言就会饿死或者受到损害?从13世纪弗雷德雷克二世所作的那个强有力的实验来判断,这是有可能的。
他当时希望能够发现孩子在没有听到任何母语的情况下,会说什么语言,因此他嘱咐护士们都保持沉默。
所有参加试验的婴儿在第一年都死了。
然而,显而易见,除了缺少语言之外还有更多的原因,那就是缺少良好的母亲抚养。
如果没有母亲的照料,初始的生命特别是在第一年的生存能力将受到严重影响。
现在,已经不存在弗雷德雷克所人为制造的的那种严重的语言缺乏的情况了。
尽管如此,一些孩子在语言表达能力方面的发展仍然滞后。
通常,发生这种情况的原因是因为孩子的母亲对婴儿发出的信号不够敏感、,而婴儿的大脑天生在这个时候能够很快地学习语言。
如果这些敏感期被忽略掉,那么获得语言技能的理想时间就错过了,而这些技能可能再也无法如此容易地学会。
鸟儿在合适的时期学会唱歌和飞翔,但是一旦这些关键时期过去之后,这种学习进程就会变得缓慢和艰难。
专家们指出,人类语言的阶段往往是通过一个固定的顺序和一个恒定的年龄来达到的,但却存在有一些特例,有些孩子掌握语言能力的时期较晚,但最后却变成了高智商的人。
考研英语真题1991~1999长难句解析
关于长难句的学习建议同学留言我都看到了,因为工作忙,不能及时上网回复,还请海涵。
大家的问题本质上都是相似的:底子薄,基础弱。
我的建议如下:全力以赴(heart and soul)主攻词汇量、句法、阅读量。
词汇主要靠大家背,阅读靠自己一篇一篇积累。
唯有句法,我觉得一定要有一个系统训练。
为了备考,我们要掌握的句法知识并不多,我在长难句课上应该是把主要的考点都讲到了,剩下的任务就是反复操练。
操练句法的最佳材料当然还是阅读真题。
正因为如此,我把这些长难句逐个加以解析和翻译,并放到了这。
我在百忙中(并非夸张,呵呵)抽空一个一个破解,希望大家也一定抽时间逐词逐句地加以揣摩。
这些句子后还有,一直会到2011年的考题。
大家在看这些句子时,应该每天至少两个,先自己结合文章分析和口译(注意,一定要结合文章),然后再看我给的内容。
第二天看新的句子之前,应该先把前一天的内容复习一遍。
刚开始感到吃力的同学,要把每一个疑问记下来,然后不耻上问,不耻下问,或者不耻左右问,实在不行就在博客上发问,总之,一定要搞清楚。
如此这般坚持,两三个月出去,100个以上的句子过去,你就能脱胎换骨了。
考研阅读长难句一每天至少两个,自己先分析,有疑问参看我给的内容。
觉得有难度,就多看几遍。
1991Passage 1一、A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.【解析】1、全句主干:A man said that the thing is to do nothing. 其中,that引导的从句作said的宾语;2、necessary for …(…所需要的)。
necessary for the triumph of evil (邪恶的胜利所需要的,邪恶获胜所需要的),这是个形容词短语,在句中作thing的后置定语。

在职攻硕英语联考模拟试卷93(题后含答案及解析)题型有:1. Dialogue Communication 2. V ocabulary and Structure 3. Reading Comprehension 4. Cloze Test 5. Translation 6. WritingPart I Dialogue Communication (15 minutes, 15 points)Section A Dialogue CompletionDirections: In this section, you will read 5 short incomplete dialogues between two speakers, each followed by four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the answer that best suits the situation to complete the dialogue. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.1.Speaker A: Can I help you?Speaker B:______A.Sorry, I don’t need your help.B.What help can you give us?C.Thanks. It’s very kind of you to offer us help.D.I’d like to try on these shoes, please.正确答案:D解析:“Can I help you(你想买点什么)?”是商店里营业员向顾客打招呼的常用语。
因此应想到对话的场景是在商店,D项“我想试穿一下这双鞋”是这一情景下的正确回答。
