【新东方在线版】【分科目整理】一、作文&参考范文作文题目：翻译软件的使用Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the use of translation apps. You can start your essay with the sentence "The use of translation apps is becomging increasingly popular. " You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.【参考范文一：新东方版】The use of translation apps is becoming increasingly popular. Why? Admittedly, in the contemporay society, an increasing number of people, with the help of translation apps, find it convenient to read foreign literature or essays.On the one hand, these apps can bring users greater efficiency and help them save more time or energy, particularly for those who have no knowledge of a foreign language. For instance, a host of people may have a variety of difficulties or troubles in learning English, but with the assistance of these apps, it will not be difficult for them to read and understand English materials. On the other hand, it is these apps that cuase some learners to lose motivation for studying. With Apps in hand, they are not willing to do their utmost to memorize new words, pratice speaking or writing skills every day. Fianlly, they will fail to get a good command of any foreign language.I, as a college student, deem that it is of great necessity for youngsters to use translations apps in a rational way. We should bear in mind that any translation app is merely a tool. Provided that one intends to master a foreign language, it is advisabel to practice each day instead of relying on translation apps.译文翻译APP的使用变得越来越普遍流行。

Older people who watch more television are also less likely to undertake activities knowing to preserve mental functioning,such as reading or interactive screen base pursuits,such as using the internet or playing video games.The researchers say that television viewing maybe a risk factor for all Alzheimer's disease,but more researches needed to establish a link. While watching television may have educational benefits and relaxation benefits,the researchers advise that adults over the age of 50 should try and ensure that television viewing is balanced with other contrasting activities.If you're concerned that the amount of television you're watching could have a negative impact on your health,you should eliminate the amount of TV watch each day and undertake some healthy hobbies.问题：22.By what means does scientist at University College London measure memory lost?23.What contributed to memory decline in the participants?24.What did the researchers say about their finding concerning the link between TV viewing and xxx this disease?25.What do the researchers suggest older people do?四级长对话－1Conversation 1M:How do you like your new flexible work in arrangement?Do you enjoy working from home?W:Yes and no,I find an isolation challenging at times,apart fom my mother,not too many people I know,have time for phone chat during working hour.I tried the library but found I wasn't really keen on working there.M:No.neither would l.I find the library a bit too quiet.I'd lack inspiration or stimulation,which would be counter-productive to getting a lot of work done.W:I found the same thing.So,lately,I've been going out to Cafes occasionally,1 love the noise,the people.the busyness of a Cafe,the sense of being out in the world.M:Coffee shops seem to have affectively become off spaces for so many people in this digital age.Though I'm not sure how Cafe owners feel about it-having so many people who go to that places to work rather than drink and eat.W:Yes,some people seem to spend a lot of time there and not order much.The most annoying one for Cafe owners must truly be those, usually only two of them,who occupy a table for six with their laptops and paperwork.M:They should sit at a table for two.not the table for six.Some obviously stay so long,they need to plug the laptops into a power adapter.I nearly tripped over someone's computerelectrical lead the other day in my local cafe.W:It'sa double-edged sword,no doubt about that.for a Cafe owner.

You can start your essay with the sentence “The use of translation apps is becoming increasingly popular.”You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.参考范文The use of translation apps is becoming increasingly popular. They play a critical role in removing the language barrier in this globalized era.These technology tools are especially helpful for both leisure and business travelers. They allow independent tourists to navigate through everything from communicating with taxi drivers to buying souvenirs at market stalls. Some even provide phrase books and encourage users to learn common expressions before their trips so that, for example, they know how to ask a flight attendant for help or understand what a customs officer says. In addition, app developers are striving to introduce their products into the commercial world. In terms of accuracy, admittedly, translation apps are so far no match for professional interpreters, who are indispensable to an international business conference. But they are more than adequate to meet the demand for casual conversations between business partners.With ever-increasing databases of written and spoken texts, there is a bright prospect that such software programs will be applied into broader fields. A growing number of people, in turn, will enjoy the fruits of this technological advance.Part II Listening Comprehension(暂缺选项和答案)Section ANews Report OneGood morning! In today’s headlines, Scotland’s transport minister has warned of potentially "extreme" weather conditions as heavy snow is forecast across the country later this week. Orange warnings are in force for many areas for Wednesday and Thursday. The transport minister advised people in parts of Scotland covered by the orange alert to avoid travel on Wednesday. This is what he said to us: “The orange warning may be raised to red in some areas. That is a warning for snow that has never been seen since the modern system came into place in Scotland.”The orange warning has been extended until 6 p.m. on Thursday. Trains, planes and ferries are also likely to be affected, with a wind chill that could see parts of Britain feeling as cold as -15℃. The head of road policing said, “I would urge drivers to take extra care on the roads for their journeys. Drivers should make sure they are prepared for their journey with warm clothing, food and drink, sufficient fuel and a charged mobile phone. There could be significant traffic delays, so please start to plan your journey now and consider if you really need to travel when conditions are this poor.”Q1: What were people in parts of Scotland advised to do?Q2: What did the head of road policing urge drivers to do?News Report TwoRomania's wetlands are coming back to life thanks to help from local communities, the World Wildlife Fund, and funding from the European Union.Roughly 2,224 acres of the picturesque Danube Delta –home to 300 species of birds –have filled with wildlife.

Older people who watch more television are also less likely to undertake activities knowing to preserve mental functioning,such as reading or interactive screen base pursuits,such as using the internet or playing video games.The researchers say that television viewing maybe a risk factor for all Alzheimer's disease,but more researches needed to establish a link. While watching television may have educational benefits and relaxation benefits,the researchers advise that adults over the age of 50 should try and ensure that television viewing is balanced with other contrasting activities.If you're concerned that the amount of television you're watching could have a negative impact on your health,you should eliminate the amount of TV watch each day and undertake some healthy hobbies.问题：22.By what means does scientist at University College London measure memory lost?23.What contributed to memory decline in the participants?24.What did the researchers say about their finding concerning the link between TV viewing and xxx this disease?25.What do the researchers suggest older people do?四级长对话－1Conversation 1M:How do you like your new flexible work in arrangement?Do you enjoy working from home?W:Yes and no,I find an isolation challenging at times,apart fom my mother,not too many people I know,have time for phone chat during working hour.I tried the library but found I wasn't really keen on working there.M:No.neither would l.I find the library a bit too quiet.I'd lack inspiration or stimulation,which would be counter-productive to getting a lot of work done.W:I found the same thing.So,lately,I've been going out to Cafes occasionally,1 love the noise,the people.the busyness of a Cafe,the sense of being out in the world.M:Coffee shops seem to have affectively become off spaces for so many people in this digital age.Though I'm not sure how Cafe owners feel about it-having so many people who go to that places to work rather than drink and eat.W:Yes,some people seem to spend a lot of time there and not order much.The most annoying one for Cafe owners must truly be those, usually only two of them,who occupy a table for six with their laptops and paperwork.M:They should sit at a table for two.not the table for six.Some obviously stay so long,they need to plug the laptops into a power adapter.I nearly tripped over someone's computerelectrical lead the other day in my local cafe.W:It'sa double-edged sword,no doubt about that.for a Cafe owner.

They play a critical role in removing the language barrier in this globalized era.These technology tools are especially helpful for both leisure and business travelers. They allow independent tourists to navigate through everything from communicating with taxi drivers to buying souvenirs at market stalls. Some even provide phrase books and encourage users to learn common expressions before their trips so that, for example, they know how to ask a flight attendant for help or understand what a customs officer says. In addition, app developers are striving to introduce their products into the commercial world. In terms of accuracy, admittedly, translation apps are so far no match for professional interpreters, who are indispensable to an international business conference. But they are more than adequate to meet the demand for casual conversations between business partners.With ever-increasing databases of written and spoken texts, there is a bright prospect that such software programs will be applied into broader fields. A growing number of people, in turn, will enjoy the fruits of this technological advance.Part II Listening Comprehension(暂缺选项和答案)Section ANews Report OneGood morning! In today’s headlines, Scotland’s transport minister has warned of potentially "extreme" weather conditions as heavy snow is forecast across the country later this week. Orange warnings are in force for many areas for Wednesday and Thursday. The transport minister advised people in parts of Scotland covered by the orange alert to avoid travel on Wednesday. This is what he said to us: “The orange warning may be raised to red in some areas. That is a warning for snow that has never been seen since the modern system came into place in Scotland.”The orange warning has been extended until 6 p.m. on Thursday. Trains, planes and ferries are also likely to be affected, with a wind chill that could see parts of Britain feeling as cold as -15℃. The head of road policing said, “I would urge drivers to take extra care on the roads for their journeys. Drivers should make sure they are prepared for their journey with warm clothing, food and drink, sufficient fuel and a charged mobile phone. There could be significant traffic delays, so please start to plan your journey now and consider if you really need to travel when conditions are this poor.”Q1: What were people in parts of Scotland advised to do?Q2: What did the head of road policing urge drivers to do?News Report TwoRomania's wetlands are coming back to life thanks to help from local communities, the World Wildlife Fund, and funding from the European Union.Roughly 2,224 acres of the picturesque Danube Delta –home to 300 species of birds –have filled with wildlife.

2020年7月大学英语四级cet4试题及答案解析Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the use of translation apps. You can start your essay with the sentence "The use of translation apps is becomging increasingly popular. " You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.破题思路：首段：很多人在用翻译APP(现象)中间段：翻译APP的利弊尾段：我的建议参考范文1：The use of translation apps is becoming increasingly popular. Why? Admittedly, in the contemporay society, an increasing number of people, with the help of translation apps, find it convenient to read foreign literature or essays.On the one hand, these apps can bring users greater efficiency and help them save more time or energy, particularly for those who have no knowledge of a foreign language. For instance, a host of people may have a variety of difficulties or troubles in learning English, but with the assistance of these apps, it will not be difficult for them to read and understand English materials. On the other hand, it is these apps that cuase some learners to lose motivation for studying. With Apps in hand, they are not willing to do their utmost to memorize new words, pratice speaking or writing skills every day. Fianlly, they will fail to get a good command of any foreign language.I, as a college student, deem that it is of great necessity for youngsters to use translations apps in a rational way. We should bear in mind that any translation app is merely a tool. Provided that one intends to master a foreign language, it is advisabel to practice each day instead of relying on translation apps.译文：翻译APP的使用变得越来越普遍流行。

Admittedly, in the contemporay society, an increasing number of people, with the help oftranslation apps, find it convenient to read foreign literature or essays.On the one hand, these apps can bring users greater efficiency and help themsave more time or energy, particularly for those who have no knowledge of aforeign language.

One of my proudest moments in my role as universities and science minister was being able to go some way to redress this injustice last month, by unveiling the new Mars rover named after this brilliant British scientist.Today, on International Women’s Day, it is only right that we recognise the important work of female scientists like Franklin and seek to honour her memory by inspiring more women and girls to follow in her footsteps.More than 60 years after Franklin’s death, we are (28) ______ living in a different world, where women play an important part in every echelon of our society – not least in science, innovation, higher education and research.UK universities are world leaders when it comes to advancing and (29) ______ gender equality.

From new materials to cut down on plastics pollution to special devices to improve posture and comfort for wheelchair users, these women are at the forefront of creating the new technology for tomorrow.This is significant progress, but access to higher education is only half of the equation. To have real equality in the sector, we need to ensure talented women are able to progress into the academic and leadership roles they desire, and get the remuneration they deserve.Data shows us the (32) ______ to success gets harder for women to climb the further up they go. Although women make up the majority of undergraduates in our universities, just under half of academic staff are female.

'A lot of birds have migrated to the area and one doesn't need to travel long hours anymore or go to other lakes to watch the birds, ' says Ion Meuta, Deputy Mayor of Mahmudia. The area around Mahmudia, which is a UNESCO World Heritagesite, is the third-most biodiverse in the world, after Australia's Great Barrier Reef and the Galapagos Islands. Groups used earth-moving equipment to restore the waterways. Government officials proposed to protect the area's endangered wild fish by issuing a fishing ban over the next decade.Questions 3 to 4 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question3: What is the news report mainly about?Question4: What did government's officials propose to do to protect the endangered fish?News Report 3Scott Dunn, recently awoke from a medically-induced sleep he'd been in after a car accident. He was heartbroken after realizing he'd missed his high school graduation. His classmates decided to give him a second chance. It was just a month ago that East Juniata High School seniors met in the school's auditorium for graduation. And last week, they did it again. Scott's car accident was on May 22nd, just 3 days before the ceremony. "I remember waking up in the hospital and asking mom, 'What day it was', she told me it was the 28th." He said, "I looked at her and said, ‘I missed my graduation." The school's principal, Mr. Fausey, called Scott's mom Karen and said that everybody wants to do something special for him. Students wore their caps and gowns and sat in the front of the auditorium. Scott's parents, Karen and Scott Senior, sat front and center. After brief speeches, Scott's name was called, only Scott's name. He walked across the stage as the audience cheered. A graduation for one. "I'mspeechless," Scott said. "I don’t know how to even explain it. I'm speechless to know that so many people are behind me."Questions 5 to 7 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question5: What happened to Scot a month ago?Question6: What did Scot ask about when he regained consciousness?Question7: Why was Scot speechless at the graduation ceremony?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear some questions. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D) . Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1with a single line through the centre.Conversation OneM：How do you like your new flexible work in arrangement? Do you enjoy working from home?W：Yes and no, I find an isolation challenging at times, apart from my mother, not too many people I know, have time for phone chat during working hour. I tried the library but found I wasn’t really keen on working there.M：No, neither would I. I find the library a bit too quiet. I’d lack inspiration or stimulation, which would be counter-productive to getting a lot of work done.W：I found the same thing. So, lately, I’ve been going out to Cafes occasionally, I love the noise, the people, the busyness of a Café, the sense of being out in the world.M: Coffee shops seem to have affectively become off spaces for so many people in this digital age. Though I’m not sure how Caféowners feel about it - having so many people who go to that places to work rather than drink and eat.W：Yes, some people seem to spend a lot of time there and not order much. The most annoying one for Caféowners must truly be those, usually only two of them, who occupy a table for six with their laptops and paperwork.M：They should sit at a table for two, not the table for six. Some obviously stay so long, they need to plug the laptops into a power adapter. I nearly tripped over someone’s computer electrical lead the other day in my local café.W：It’s a double-edged sword, no doubt about that, for a Caféowner. While remote workers help to keep the caféfull in quiet times, they can take up valuable table space and busy period.Questions 10 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question8. What does the woman say is the disadvantage of working from home? Question9. What does the man say is counter-productive to getting work done in the library?Question10. What does the woman like about doing one’s work in a café? Question11. What is most annoying for caféowners according to the woman? Conversation TwoW: I’m going to start working for another job. I can’t see myself getting an opportunity to progress on my company anytime in the near future. And I really think my skills and abilities deserve a higher salary.M: You are not going to quit, are you?W: I’m thinking I might as well. Then I can devote more time and energy to find me a better position at another company.M: But you’ve been in your present company less than two years, haven’t you? This would be the third time you’ve left your job in the last five years. If you do several jobs in a relatively short span of time, perspective employers might see that you lack loyalty. That could make them worry and reluctant to employ you.W: Unfortunately, loyalty doesn’t pay. Even if I get a promotion at my company, it’s likely to be less sizeable than if I were to get a job elsewhere. And even if I get a promotion, I’m not guaranteed to get a raise. I had that experience at another company I worked up.M: They want you to take on more work and responsibility but for the same amount of money?W: More or less, yes. The way I see it, through having different jobs, I’ve got a lot of experience, and different jobs and in different industries.M: But potential employers might worry about that experience is not deep, or thorough enough.W: Perhaps, but I feel pretty confident that I can sell myself. You know what they say, fortune favors the brave.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question12: What makes the woman think about changing her job?Question13: What does the man say about people who keep changing their jobs? Question14: What does the woman say would happen even if she got promoted in her current company?Question15: What benefit has the woman gain from changing her jobs frequently? Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a ques- tion, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D) . Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneThere is a saying that goes something along the lines of ‘You must love yourself first before you can love someone else.’Similarly, I personally believe that you must be comfortable and happy in your own company before you can truly be yourself in the company of others. There is a massive difference between being lonely and being alone. Loneliness is a horrible feeling. However, you don’t have to actually be alone to feel that way. Many times, I’ve felt lonely when surrounded by a big group of people. In contrast, being alone can actually be a blessing, particularly, when you’ve actively chosen it. In my experience, being bored and alone is dangerous and can easily lead to the feeling of loneliness. The trick is to be active. Get outside, stretchyour legs, do something cultural, buy yourself something tasty to eat or something pretty to wear. You don’t have to take anyone else into consideration and can do whatever you please. Spending time alone also allows you to more efficiently take care of problems. And then, when it’s time to be social and meet up with your friends, you will be fully there, because you won’t have too much other stuff floating around in your mind. Having been alone for a bit, you will also appreciate your friends’company more and chances are your time spent together will be more worthwhile.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 16: What does the speaker say about being alone?Question 17: What does the speaker say how to reduce one’s feeling of loneliness? Question 18: What is an advantage of spending one’s time alone?Passage TwoWhen I turned twelve, I worked summers at my father’s small brick cleaning business. I remember the harsh acid smell of the cleaning solution, and the scraping sound of stiff iron brushes against rough brick. It was tempting to have your job just finish. But anybody who worked for Thomas Kahoon had to meet his standards, and that include of me. If I messed up, he made me stay late until I got it right.My father wasn’t been me. He demanded the same at himself. Every brick he cleaned on the house stood out like a red jewel in a white setting. It was his signature.In 1970, when I was twenty, I got married. I moved out my parent's modest place into a housing project.Drugs and gang violent were just beginning to plague the projects.Some of my friend went to jail. Some were killed. My wife Verllen, was 18, and nobody gave our marriage a chance. But we believed in each other. And our faith made us strong.When we married, I worked as a stock clerk at Southwest Super Food. It was hard, tedious work. Each Friday night a truck came, with cases of food that had to be unloaded, priced and placed on shelves.Most of stock clerks try to get Friday night off. But I was always ready to work. By Saturday morning, all the kinds and drawers in my aisle would place with a label facing smartly out, like a line of soldiers on review. That was my signature. I took pride in a job nobody wanted.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 19. What do we learn about the speaker’s father?Question 20. What does the speak say about the housing project?Question 21. What do we learn about the speaker as a stock clerk?Passage ThreeWatching more than 3 hours of television a day doubles memory loss in older people, a new study of more than 3,000 adults suggests. Scientist at University College London used memory and fluency tests on the same group of people 6 years apart. They found that those who watched on average less than 3 hours television aday showed a decline ever round 4 to 5 percent, while those who tended to watch more than 3 hours a day declined by an average of 8 to 10 percent. The research team say they believe the alert but passive nature of television watching maybe creating stress on the mind, which contributes to memory decline.Older people who watch more television are also less likely to undertake activities knowing to preserve mental functioning, such as reading or interactive screen base pursuits, such as using the internet or playing video games. The researchers say that television viewing maybe a risk factor for all Alzheimer’s disease, but more researches needed to establish a link.While watching television may have educational benefits and relaxation benefits, the researchers advise that adults over the age of 50 should try and ensure that television viewing is balanced with other contrasting activities. If you’re concerned that the amount of television you’re watching could have a negative impact on your health, you should eliminate the amount of TV watch each day and undertake some healthy hobbies.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question22. By what means does scientist at University College London measure memory lost?Question23. What contributed to memory decline in the participants?Question24. What did the researchers say about their finding concerning the link between TV viewing and xxx this disease?Question25. What do the researchers suggest older people do?…parts of Scotland covered by the orange alert to avoid travel on Wednesday, ' this is what he said to us. The orange warning may be raised to red in some areas. That is a warning for snow that has never been seen since the modern system came into place in Scotland.

Older people who watch more television are also less likely to undertake activities knowing to preserve mental functioning,such as reading or interactive screen base pursuits,such as using the internet or playing video games.The researchers say that television viewing maybe a risk factor for all Alzheimer's disease,but more researches needed to establish a link.

You can start your essay with the sentence “The use of translation apps is becoming increasingly popular.”You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.参考范文The use of translation apps is becoming increasingly popular. They play a critical role in removing the language barrier in this globalized era.These technology tools are especially helpful for both leisure and business travelers. They allow independent tourists to navigate through everything from communicating with taxi drivers to buying souvenirs at market stalls. Some even provide phrase books and encourage users to learn common expressions before their trips so that, for example, they know how to ask a flight attendant for help or understand what a customs officer says. In addition, app developers are striving to introduce their products into the commercial world. In terms of accuracy, admittedly, translation apps are so far no match for professional interpreters, who are indispensable to an international business conference. But they are more than adequate to meet the demand for casual conversations between business partners.With ever-increasing databases of written and spoken texts, there is a bright prospect that such software programs will be applied into broader fields. A growing number of people, in turn, will enjoy the fruits of this technological advance.Part II Listening Comprehension(暂缺选项和答案)Section ANews Report OneGood morning! In today’s headlines, Scotland’s transport minister has warned of potentially "extreme" weather conditions as heavy snow is forecast across the country later this week. Orange warnings are in force for many areas for Wednesday and Thursday. The transport minister advised people in parts of Scotland covered by the orange alert to avoid travel on Wednesday. This is what he said to us: “The orange warning may be raised to red in some areas. That is a warning for snow that has never been seen since the modern system came into place in Scotland.”The orange warning has been extended until 6 p.m. on Thursday. Trains, planes and ferries are also likely to be affected, with a wind chill that could see parts of Britain feeling as cold as -15℃. The head of road policing said, “I would urge drivers to take extra care on the roads for their journeys. Drivers should make sure they are prepared for their journey with warm clothing, food and drink, sufficient fuel and a charged mobile phone.

Comprehension(40minutes) Section ADirections:In this section,there is a passage with ten blanks.You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bankfollowing

asingle line through the centre.You may not use any of the words in thebank more than once.Questions26to35are based on the following passage.“Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated."Those were the words uttered by pioneering British scientist Rosalind Franklin,who firmly believed that the pursuit of science should be26to all.As a woman working in the first half of the20th century,Franklin's contributions to some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our time including the structure of DN Ａ—were sadly27in her lifetime.More than60years after Franklin's death,we are28living in a different world, where women play an important part in every echelon(阶层)of our society—not least in science,innovation,higher education and universities are world leaders when it comes to advancing and29gender equality.In the past decade,we have seen a30increase in England in the number of women accepted on to full-time undergraduate degrees in science,technology, engineering and maths(Stem subjects).And in the last academic year,women31 for more than half of all Stem postgraduates at UK universities.Data shows us the32to success gets harder for women to climb the further up they go.Although women make up the majority of undergraduates in our universities,just under half of academic staff are female.At33levels,only a quarter of professors are women,and black women make up less than2%of all female academic staff.There are also stark differences in pay across grades.The gender pay gap basedon median salaries across the sector

paid35.A)accessibleB)AccountedC)AdaptationD)AppropriatelyE)ConsiderableF)EffectiveG)LadderH)MisreadI)NominationJ)OverlookedK)PromotingL)SeniorM)SubmissionN)SuggestingO)thankfullySection 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.How to Eat Well[A]Why do so many Americans eat tons of processed food,the stuff that is correctly called junk(垃圾)and should really carry warning labels?[B]It's not because fresh ingredients are hard to come by.Supermarkets offer more variety than ever,and there are over four times as many farmers'markets in the US as there were20years ago.Nor is it for lack of available information.There are plenty of recipes(食谱),how-to videos and cooking classes available to anyone who has a computer,smart phone or television.If anything,the information is overwhelming.[C]And yet we aren't cooking.If you eat three meals a day and behave like most Americans,you probably get at least a third of your daily calories(卡路里)outside the home.Nearly two-thirds of us grab fast food once a week,and we get almost25%of our daily calories from snacks.So we're eating out or taking in,and we don't sit down ＿or we do,but we hurry.[D]Shouldn't preparing＿and consuming＿food be a source of comfort,pride, health,well-being,relaxation,sociability?Something that connects us to other humans?Why would we want to outsource(外包)this basic task,especially whenoutsourcing it is so harmful?[E]When I talk about cooking,I'm not talking about creating elaborate dinner parties or three-day science projects.I'm talking about simple,easy,everyday meals. My mission is to encourage green hands and those lacking time or money to feed themselves.That means we need modest,realistic expectations,and we need to teach people to cook food that's good enough to share with family and friends.[F]Perhaps a return to real cooking needn't be far off.A recent Harris poll revealed that79%of Americans say they enjoy cooking and30%"love it";14%admit to not enjoying kitchen work and just7%won't go near the stove at all.But this doesn't necessarily translate to real cooking,and the result of this survey shouldn't surprise anyone:52%of those65or older cook at home five or more times per week; only a third of young people do.[G]Back in the1950s most of us grew up in households where mom cooked virtually every night.The intention to put a home-cooked meal on the table was pretty much universal.Most people couldn't afford to do otherwise[H]Although frozen dinners were invented in the'40s,their Popularity didn't boom until televisions became Popular a decade or so later.Since then,Packaged, pre-prepared meals have been what's for dinner.The microwave and fast-food chains were the biggest catalysts(催化剂),but the big food companies—which want to sell anything except the raw ingredients that go into cooking—made the home cook an endangered species.[I]Still,I find it strange that only a third of young People report preparing meals at home regularly.Isn't this the same crowd that rails against Processed junk and champions craft cooking?And isn't this the generation who say they're concerned about their health and the well-being of the Planet?If these are truly the values of many young People,then their behavior doesn't match their beliefs.[J]There have been half-hearted but well-Publicized efforts by some food companies to reduce calories in their Processed foods,but the Standard American Diet is still the Polar opposite of the healthy,mostly Plant-based diet that just about every expert says we should be eating.Considering that the government's standards are not nearly ambitious enough,the Picture is clear:by not cooking at home,we're not eating the right things,and the consequences are hard to overstate.[K]To help quantify(量化)the costs of a Poor diet,I recently tried to estimate this impact in terms of a most famous food,the burger(汉堡包).I concluded that the Profit from burgers is more than offset(抵消)by the damage they cause in health Problems and environmental harm.[L]Cooking real food is the best defense—not to mention that any meal you're likely to eat at home contains about200fewer calories than one you would eat in a restaurant.[M]To those Americans for whom money is a concern,my advice is simple:Buy what you can afford,and cook it yourself.The common Prescription is to Primarily shop the grocery store,since that's where fresh Produce,meat and seafood,and dairy are.And to save money and still eat well you don't need local,organic ingredients;all you need is real food.I'm not saying local food isn't better;it is.But there is Plenty ofdecent food in the grocery stores.[N]The other sections you should get to know are the frozen foods and the canned goods.Frozen Produce is still Produce;canned tomatoes are still tomatoes. Just make sure you're getting real food without tons of added salt or sugar.Ask yourself,would Grandma consider this food?Does it look like something that might occur in nature?It's Pretty much common sense:you want to buy food,not unidentifiable food like objects.[O]You don't have to hit the grocery store daily,nor do you need an abundance of skill.Since fewer than half of Americans say they cook at an intermediate level and only20%describe their cooking skills as advanced,the crisis is one of confidence. And the only remedy for that is Practice.There's nothing mysterious about cooking the evening meal.You just have to do a little thinking ahead and redefine what qualifies as dinner.Like any skill,cooking gets easier as you do it more;every time you cook,you advance your level of skills.Someday you won't even need recipes.Ｍy advice is that you not Pay attention to the number of steps and ingredients,because they can be deceiving.[P]Time,I realize,is the biggest obstacle to cooking for most People.You must adjust your Priorities to findtime to cook.For instance,you can move a TV to the kitchen and watch your favorite shows while you're standing at the sink.No one is asking you to give up activities you like,but if you're watching food shows on TV,try cooking instead.36.Cooking benefits People in many ways and enables them to connect with one another.37.Abundant information about cooking is available either online or on TV.38.Young people do less cooking at home than the elderly these days.39.Cooking skills can be improved with practice.40.1n the mid-20th century,most families ate dinner at home instead of eating out.41.Even those short of time or money should be encouraged to cook for themselves and their family.42.Eating food not cooked by ourselves can cause serious consequences.43.To eat well and still save money,people should buy fresh food and cook it themselves.44.We get a fairly large portion of calories from fast food and snacks.45.The popularity of TV led to the popularity of frozen food.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 sing1e1inethrough the centre.Passage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.The wallet is heading for extinction.As a day-to-day essential,it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers.The kind of shopping—where you hand over notes and count out change in return—now happens only in the most minor of our retail encounters,like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk,from a corner shop.At the shops where you spend any real money,that money is increasingly abstracted.And this is more and more true,the higher up the scale you go.At the most cutting-edge retail stores—Victoria Beckham on Dover Street,for instance—you don't go and stand at any kind of cash register,when you decide to pay.The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.Which is nothing more or less than excellent service,if you have the money.But across society,the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy.Maybe1'm just old-fashioned.But earning money isn't quick or easy for most of us.Isn't it a bit weird that spending it should happen in half a b1ink(眨眼)of an eye?Doesn't a wallet—that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing,promising fatness—represent something that matters?But I'll leave the economics to the experts.What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment.Everything about the look and feel of a wallet—the way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age,the plastic and paper and gold and silver,and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets—is the very opposite of what our world is becoming.The opposite of a wallet is a smart phone or an iPad.The rounded edges, cool glass,smooth and unknowable as a pebb1e(鹅卵石).Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners,we move our fingers left and right.No more counting out coins.Show your wallet,if you still have one.1t may not be here much longer.46.What is happening to the wallet?A)It is disappearing.B)It is being fattened.C)It is becoming costly.D)It is changing in style.47.How are business transactions done in big modern stores?A)Individually.B)Electronically.C)In the abstract.D)Via a cash register.48.What makes the author feel uncomfortable nowadays?A)Saving money is becoming a thing of the past.B)The pleasing Friday-night feeling is fading.C)Earning money is getting more difficult.D)Spending money is so fast and easy.49.Why does the author choose to write about what's happening to the wallet?A)It represents a change in the modern world.B)It has something to do with everybody's life.C)It marks the end of a time-honoured tradition.D)It is the concern of contemporary economists.50.What can we infer from the passage about the author?A)He is resistant to social changes.B)He is against technological progress.C)He feels reluctant to part with the traditional wallet.D)He feels insecure in the ever-changing modern world.Passage TwoQuestions5l to55are based on the following passage.It's late in the evening:time to close the book and turn off the computer.You're done for the day.What you may not realize,however,is that the learning process actually continues—in your dreams.It might sound like science fiction,but researchers are increasingly focusing on the relationship between the knowledge and skills our brains absorb during the day and the fragmented,often bizarre imaginings they generate at night.Scientists have found that dreaming about a task we've learned is associated with improved performance in that activity(suggesting that there's some truth to the popular notion that we're"getting"a foreign language once we begin dreaming in it).What's more, researchers are coming to recognize that dreaming is an essential part of understanding,organizing and retaining what we learn.While we sleep,research indicates,the brain replays the patterns of activity it experienced during waking hours,allowing us to enter what one psychologist calls a neura1(神经的)virtual reality.A vivid example of such replay can be seen in a video researchers made recently about sleep disorders.They taught a series of dance moves to a group of patients with conditions like sleepwalking,in which the sleeper engages in the kind physical movement that does not normally occur during sleep.They then videotaped the subjects as they slept.Lying in bed,eyes closed,one female patient on the tape performs the dance moves she learned earlier.This shows that while our bodies are at rest,our brains are drawing what's important from the information and events we've recently encountered,then integrating that data into the vast store of what we already know.In a20l0study, researchers at Harvard Medical School reported that college students who dreamed about a computer maze(迷宫)task they had learned showed a l0-fold improvement in their ability to find their way through the maze compared with participants who did not dream about the task.Robert Stickgold,one of the Harvard researchers,suggests that studying right before bedtime or taking a nap following a study session in the afternoon might increase the odds of dreaming about the material.Think about that as your head hits the pillow tonight.5l.What is scientists'finding about dreaming?A)It involves disconnected,weird images.B)It resembles fragments of science fiction.C)Dreaming about a learned task betters its performance.D)Dreaming about things being learned disturbs one's sleep.52.What happens when one enters a dream state?A)The body continues to act as if the sleeper were awake.B)The neural activity of the brain will become intensified.C)The brain behaves as if it were playing a virtual reality video game.D)The brain once again experiences the learning activities of the day.53.What does the brain do while we are sleeping?A)It systematizes all the data collected during the day.B)It substitutes old information with new data.C)It processes and absorbs newly acquired data.D)It classifies information and places it in different files.54.What does Robert Stickgold suggest about enhancing learning?A)Having a little sleep after studying in the day.B)Staying up late before going to bed.C)Having a dream about anything.D)Thinking about the odds of dreaming about the material.55.What can be inferred about dreaming from the passage?A)We may enhance our learning through dreaming.B)Dreaming improves your language ability.C)All sleepwalkers perform dance moves when they are sleeping.D)Taking a nap after learning can help you find the way through the maze.PartⅣTranslation(30minutes) Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.You should write your answer on Answer Sheet2.在中国，火锅已有2,000多年的历史，最早流行于最寒冷的地区，然后在很多地区盛行，出现了具有地方特色的种类。

【新东方在线版】【分科目整理】一、作文&参考范文作文题目：翻译软件的使用Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the use of translation apps. You can start your essay with the sentence "The use of translation apps is becomging increasingly popular. " You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.【参考范文一：新东方版】The use of translation apps is becoming increasingly popular. Why? Admittedly, in the contemporay society, an increasing number of people, with the help of translation apps, find it convenient to read foreign literature or essays.On the one hand, these apps can bring users greater efficiency and help them save more time or energy, particularly for those who have no knowledge of a foreign language. For instance, a host of people may have a variety of difficulties or troubles in learning English, but with the assistance of these apps, it will not be difficult for them to read and understand English materials. On the other hand, it is these apps that cuase some learners to lose motivation for studying. With Apps in hand, they are not willing to do their utmost to memorize new words, pratice speaking or writing skills every day. Fianlly, they will fail to get a good command of any foreign language.I, as a college student, deem that it is of great necessity for youngsters to use translations apps in a rational way. We should bear in mind that any translation app is merely a tool. Provided that one intends to master a foreign language, it is advisabel to practice each day instead of relying on translation apps.译文翻译APP的使用变得越来越普遍流行。
