大学英语4课后cloze及翻译原题带答案Cloze1In the 21st century, clouds and stormy weather no longer automatically bring operations to a halt or force a change in targets(目标). Technologies such as the Global Positioning System now allow cruise missiles(巡航导弹) and other smart weapons to home in on(瞄准并飞速接近) their targets. But the weather still is a factor that must be reckoned with, especially with precision-guided weapons that must be highly accurate (高度精确)to be effective.Fortunately, the ability to obtain weather forecasts will get better. In the next few years, remote weather sensors(传感器)will grow rapidly on unmanned vehicles. This will create a network of observing platforms that will give commanders an instant overview of weather in the battle zone(战场). In some areas you’ll have direct delivery of weather information straight from the computes to black boxes in aircraft and other vehicles. That will be especially important for target-bound aircraft(瞄准目标的飞行器).Such technology will give whoever possess it a tremendous edge(优势)over their enemy and enable them to use developing weather conditions to their advantage. As we get superior satellites into space, we’ll gain huge advantages in observing meteorological conditions in denied areas(盲区), where we don’t have people on the ground. And our modeling ability will continue to improve as our computers get more powerful. The past 10 years have witnessed a revolution in our communications and computer abilities. It’s exciting to think of what the next 10 years will bring.在第二十一世纪,云层和暴风雨天气不再自动带来业务停顿或迫使目标的变化(目标)。

新视野大学英语第四册Cloze原文及翻译Unit 11)"So you want to be a rock and roll star?" asked the musician, Bib Dylan. You have decided to seek fame's spotlight. And you will not be persuaded otherwise. What is it that lures you? Is it the worshiping fans? Or is it simply to be recognized for being truly fantastic at something? This is all quite understandable. I should warn you, though. It is difficult to sustain the public's favor. These people will grow bored so easily. Even if you should succeed, you might not be happy, once you win in your conquest of fame, complaints will follow. For example, people will say that your work fails to show a lack of continuity in its appeal. You see, their enthusiasm will soon dissolve. I should also tell you that there will be plenty of people who will want to exploit you during your brief stay at the top. Friends? Sure, as long as you have money you'll have friends who will suck everything you have out of you. And don't forget to watch your agent closely. You might need a good lawyer and an accountant, but they too will want their piece of the pie—making money out of you.2)I see you understand the cruelty of the situation. However, your chase for fame can't be discouraged by my pessimistic outlook. Go ahead then. Don't ket me stop you. But when you fail of fall right back where you started and you're miserable, don't accuse me of not having warned you. I've done all that I can for you.“所以,你要成为一个摇滚明星?”音乐家,鲍勃·迪伦问。

At night, roads are brightly lit, enabling people and traffic to move freely. Neon lighting used in advertising has become part of the character of every modern city. In the home, many labor-saving devices are powered by electricity. Even when we turn off the bedside lamp and are fast asleep, electricity is working for us, driving our refrigerators, heating our water, or keeping our rooms air-conditioned. Every day, trains,trolley-buses, and trams take us to and from work. We rarely bother to consider why or how they run---until something goes wrong.In the summer of 1959, something did go wrong with the power-plant that provides New York with electricity. For a great many hours, life came to a standstill. Trains refused to move and the people in them sat in the dark, powerless to do anything; lifts stopped working, so that even if you were lucky enough not to be trapped between two floors, you had the unpleasant task of finding your way down hundreds of flights of stairs. Famous streets like Broadway and Fifth Avenue in an instant became as gloomy and uninviting as the most remote back streets. People were afraid to leave their houses, for although the police had been ordered to stand by in case of emergency, they were just as confused and helpless as anyone else.Meanwhile, similar disorder prevailed in the home. New York can be stifling in the summer and this year was no exception. Cool, air-conditioned apartments became furnaces. Food went bad in refrigerators. Cakes and joints of meat remained uncooked in cooling ovens. People sat impatient and frightenedin the dark as if an unseen enemy had landed from Mars. One of the strange things that occurred during the power-cut was that some fifty blind people lead many sighted workers home. When the lights came on again, hardly a person in the city can have turned on a switch without reflecting how great a servant he had at his fingertips.PART III CLOZE31.

新世纪大学英语综合教程4cloze部分的汉语意思及答案

新世纪大学英语综合教程4cloze部分的汉语意思及答案

Unit 1Man has a blood tie with nature and nobody can live outside nature. Nature provides us with everything we need: the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.For quite a long time after man began to live in the realm of nature, he lived in fear of its destructive forces. He used to regard nature with its elemental forces as something hostile to him. And even the forest was something wild and frightening to him. Very often, he was unable to obtain the merest daily necessities though he worked together with others stubbornly and collectively with his imperfect tools. Through his interaction with nature, man changed it gradually. He cut down forest, cultivated land, transferred various species of plants and animals to different climatic conditions, changed the shape and climate of his environment and transformed plants and animals. He subdued and disciplined electricity and compelled it to serve the interests of society.Nonetheless, with the constant expansion of agriculture and industry, man has robbed nature too much of its irreplaceable resources, polluted his own living environment and caused about 95% of the species that have existed over the past 600million years to become extinct and still many others to be endangered. The previous dynamic balance between man and nature is on the verge of breaking down. Man is now faced with the problem of how to stop, or at least to moderate the destructive effect of technology on nature.The crisis of the ecological situation has become a global problem. The solution to the problem depends on rational and wise organization both of production itself and care for Mother Nature. This can only be done by all humanity, rather than by individuals, enterprises or separate countries.1 realm2 elemental3 obtain4 stubbornly5 transferred6 transformed7 subdued8 expansion9 irreplaceable 10 extinct 11 dynamic 12 verge 13 moderate 14 ecological 15 rationalUnit 2Technology is a "hot" issue nowadays. The defenders of technology stress its advantages while the opponents emphasize its disadvantages. Neither side has ever taken the time to look at the opposite point of view.The defenders of technology hold that with technology, people's living conditions have been greatly improved. For example, the boom in productivity has made goods better andcheaper. Therefore, things that were once luxuries, such as jet travel and long-distance phone calls, have become necessities. Medical technology, in particular, has benefited us a lot, especially in prolonging life expectancy.On the other hand, the opponents of technology argue that technology makes life obviously worse. Telemarketing, traffic jams, and identity theft are all phenomena that make people consciously unhappy. In addition, many people believe technology disrupts relationships and fractures community. Ever since the Industrial Revolution, the relationship between happiness and technology has been an eternal subject for social critics and philosophers, though economists and social scientists have seldom touched on the topic. However, in 1974 the economist Richard Easterlin did groundbreaking work on the relationship between prosperity and well-being. In his famous paper entitled"Does Economic Growth Improve the Human Lot?", Easterlin showed that there was no real correlation between a nation's income level and its citizens' happiness in the developed countries.In fact, technology is neither good nor bad. It depends on what we want to do with it. Therefore, the responsibility belongs exclusively to humans who have to acquire a socialconscience, to respect human beings, nature and its balances.1 emphasize2 opposite3 improved4 luxuries5 benefited6 obviously7 consciously8 fractures9 eternal 10 groundbreaking 11 entitled 12 correlation 13 depends 14 exclusivelyUnit 4Most people have work to do. With work, they can enjoy their lives. However, people who did physical labor were looked down upon in the past. Many people were compelled to take manual labor because it was an absolute necessity for them to earn a living and to support their families. By contrast, people who did mental work were highly respected. Under the influence of this idea, even today some people still idealize their future when making choices for their career. What they care most about is whether the job can give them enough social status rather than whether they can realize their values in it. In their eyes, those who do manual labor should still be classified as inferior in social status.In fact, there is no essential difference between those who work with their hands and those who work with their mind. Whether a job is labor or work does not depend on the jobitself but on people's attitude towards it. As long as you like your job, you will think you are fortunate enough to take it and you will do it enthusiastically.1 enjoy2 physical3 compelled4 necessity5 support6 mental7 idealize8 status9 values 10 classified 11essential 12 mind 13 attitude 14 fortunateUnit 5What does success mean to you? Does it mean wealth, fame, power or something else? Different people have different pursuits in life so they understand success in different ways. Some people chase money their whole lives. To them, more money means more success. Some people run after fame. With fame and reputation, they can gain the admiration and love of many others. However, some people dedicate themselves to the well-being of society.Doubtlessly, money is something that can be used as a reward to those who have done valuable work. Those who perform their work excellently should be paid sufficiently. But success cannot be measured in monetary terms, nor in terms of the amount of power one may exercise over others. After all,money and power can assure people neither of happiness nor of respect from others.Fame, too, is a flawed measure of success. Momentary fame can bring great joy to those who have it for a time. But they are very likely to become the slaves of their celebrity because of the public’s demands. In addition, they will easily become the target of everyone who disagrees with them and of the media as well. To be frank, if one is unable to fully enjoy life and liberty, the short-lived success is nothing but illusory.Therefore, to achieve the right kind of success is vitally important. As long as one can combine his own material needs and spiritual satisfaction with those of the well-being of society, he should be held in high regard.1 chase2 reputation3 dedicate4 reward5 sufficiently6 measured7 assure8 Momentary9 celebrity 10 target 11 frank 12 liberty 13 illusory 14 regardUnit 6Truth is a fact accepted as true, for which proof exists. Truth is a great principle, without which beauty may fade and love may wither. Those who uphold truth have a strong sense ofresponsibility. Those who hold firmly to truth are faithful to their duty and the people they serve. They commit themselves to the well-being of others. With aspirations to make a contribution to society, they are ready to correct their own mistakes, if any. It can be said that they are men of moral integrity who never ask for gratitude in return.Truth dawns upon us slowly but surely. In the long quest for truth, people have accumulated precious knowledge and experience. However, truth also needs nourishment just as plants need water, because many people are too preoccupied with petty and sometimes even mean concerns to respond to the great beauty of truth when it flowers or they frequently fail to appreciate truth when it is tendered.In short, truth is an invaluable asset to the whole of humanity. Stick to the truth and we will weave a timeless pattern, and earn the respect and esteem of others, elevate the world today above its present imperfections and place ourselves in the proud position of promoting the good of the humanity.1 wither2 sense3 faithful4 commit5 aspirations6 gratitude7 dawns8 accumulated9 nourishment 10 preoccupied 11 flowers12 tendered 13 weave 14 elevate单元1人有配合性质的血,没有人可以生活以外的性质。

At night, roads are brightly lit, enabling people and traffic to move freely. Neon lighting used in advertising has become part of the character of every modern city. In the home, many labor-saving devices are powered by electricity. Even when we turn off the bedside lamp and are fast asleep, electricity is working for us, driving our refrigerators, heating our water, or keeping our rooms air-conditioned. Every day, trains,trolley-buses, and trams take us to and from work. We rarely bother to consider why or how they run---until something goes wrong.In the summer of 1959, something did go wrong with the power-plant that provides New York with electricity. For a great many hours, life came to a standstill. Trains refused to move and the people in them sat in the dark, powerless to do anything; lifts stopped working, so that even if you were lucky enough not to be trapped between two floors, you had the unpleasant task of finding your way down hundreds of flights of stairs. Famous streets like Broadway and Fifth Avenue in an instant became as gloomy and uninviting as the most remote back streets. People were afraid to leave their houses, for although the police had been ordered to stand by in case of emergency, they were just as confused and helpless as anyone else.Meanwhile, similar disorder prevailed in the home. New York can be stifling in the summer and this year was no exception. Cool, air-conditioned apartments became furnaces. Food went bad in refrigerators. Cakes and joints of meat remained uncooked in cooling ovens. People sat impatient and frightenedin the dark as if an unseen enemy had landed from Mars. One of the strange things that occurred during the power-cut was that some fifty blind people lead many sighted workers home. When the lights came on again, hardly a person in the city can have turned on a switch without reflecting how great a servant he had at his fingertips.PART III CLOZE31.

▪ 如何填补破碎的信息缺口,并在阅读短文 的同时对其内容,结构,语言,词汇,搭 配,语法等各个方面进行理解和填补。
▪ CLOZE考查的缺失内容不外乎可以归纳为 两个侧重点,一是对内容词的填补,二是 对结构词的填补

内容词(subject matter word)
▪ 是联系着整篇CLOZE内容的词。这些词一 般只以简单的生词形式出现,但是往往关 系着整篇短文的上下文联系和叙事完整。 因此,这类的填空考查的是三个方面:

注意搭配关系和运用语法知识
▪ 英语中的搭配关系主要体现在名词与动词, 形容词,介词短语搭配;动词与名词副词 和介词短语搭配以及形容词与介词和名词 的搭配。
▪ 完形填空考察的语法知识是考生对语言体 系整体的把握,但更多体现的是词法和句 法知识的运用。因此,系统地复习句法的 相关知识可以相对提高CLOZE的准确率, 但短期内提高词类运用能力可能性不大。
h

▪ 完形填空的测试目的是测试学生运用语言 的综合能力。完形填空的考试重点是上下 文的联系和短语结构的搭配关系。由于考 试时间紧,许多考生在回答这部分题的时 候,往往不顾整个篇章的结构、大意或文 体,一开始就把注意力放在空格选项上, 孤立地研究单个选项,这就脱离了文章整 体,答题的准确率也会大受影响。

[四级阅读]教你攻陷四级的“选词填空”(bankedcloze)-备考资料

[四级阅读]教你攻陷四级的“选词填空”(bankedcloze)-备考资料

[四级阅读]教你攻陷四级的“选词填空”(bankedcloze)-备考资料选词填空(banked cloze)是四级考试改革后出现的新题型,旨在考察大家的词汇量,逻辑性,以及对文章的整体理解和分析,。

大部分的考生普遍反映这个部分的难度较大,因此很多同学复习时对此感到了无头绪,不知所措。

今天在这针对该题型的解题方法和技巧大家做一个分享。

首先,我们来了解一下选词填空在四级考试中所处的位置和所占比重。

出现在大学英语四级考试深度阅读(Reading in Depth)的第一部分.由一篇250—300词的短文和15个选项构成题目要求从给出的15个词中选择10个填入短文的空格中。

该部分占整个分值比例的5%,考试时间大概为7分钟。

选词填空的难点主要为:1. 单词有可能不认识 2. 错一题,可能会错两题。

选词填空与完型填空的相同点:都要上下文做题。

不同点:选词填空要先判断词性,而完型填空不用判断词性,4个待选项词性基本一致。

选词填空部分虽然所占比例较小,但只要找到解题技巧,还是能够提高整体分数的。

抛开文章本身不论,选词填空的15个备选单词往往就是给大家造成的第一个障碍。

最行之有效的办法就是从中挑选出大家最熟悉的若干单词进行选择,而将陌生词汇排除在考虑范围之外。

大体步骤分为四个部分,即1. 筛选单词 2. 词性分类 3. 对号入座 4.固定搭配。

其中最关键的步骤为词性的分类,多年以来的四级选词填空只曾涉及过四类词:动词、名词、形容词和副词。

遇到动词进行二次分类:确定时态,确定单三还是非单三。

遇到名词,确定单数还是复数。

做好标注后再回到原文根据意思和需要确定空内应填入的词性。

针对一些典型可以区别词性的后缀做了如下整理,仅供参考:名词后缀主要有:tion/ sion/ ness/ ance/ ence/ hood/ ment/ er/ or/ ion/ ist/ ism/ bility/ ship。

比如:action,conclusion,kindness,importance,difference,childhood,requirement,artist,socialism,possibility,scholarship,备考资料《[四级阅读] 教你攻陷四级的“选词填空” (banked cloze)》(https://)。

Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it's important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs(碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret. The key question is: Does that matter? For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no." When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me."But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist A lessandro Acauisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get theirhands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠卷)。
