You may not use any of the words in the bankmore than once.As if you needed another reason to hate the gym, it now turns out that exercise can exhaust not only your muscles, but also your eyes. Fear not, however, for coffee can stimulate them again. During26 exercise, our muscles tire as they run out of fuel and build up waste products. Muscle performance can also be affected by a 27 called "central fatigue," in which an imbalance in the body's chemical messengers prevents the central nervous system from directing muscle movements 28 . It was not known , however , whether central fatigue might also affect motor systems not directly 29 in the exercise itself, such as those that move the eyes. To find out, researchers gave 11 volunteer cyclists a carbohydrate (碳水化合物的)30 either with a moderate dose of caffeine (咖啡因),which is known to stimulate the central nervous system ,or as a placebo (安慰剂)without, during 3 hours of 31 . After exercising ,the scientists tested the cyclists with eye-tracking cameras to see how well their brains could still 32 their visual system. The team found that exercise reduced the speed of rapid eye movements by about 8%, 33 their ability to capture new visual information. The caffeine, the equivalent of two strong cups of coffee, was 34 to reverse this effect, with some cyclists even displaying 35 eye movement speeds. So it might be a good idea to get someone else to drive you home after that marathon.A)cautiously B)commit C)controlD)cycling E)effectively F)increasedG)involved H)limited I)phenomenonJ)preventing K)sensitive L)slowingM)solution N)sufficient O)vigorousSection Ba passage wit ten statements attac e to it. Each statement contains Directions: In讥is section ,you are going to read·h h d·information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questionsby marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Team SpiritA)Teams have become the basic building blocks of organisations. Recruitment advertisements routinely call for"team players. " Business schools grade their students in part on their performance in group projects. Office managers knock down walls to encourage team building. Teams are as old as civilisation, of course: even Jesus had 12 co-workers. But a new report by Deloitte, "Global Human Capital Trends," based on a survey of more than 7,000 executives in over 130 countries, suggests that the fashion for teamwork has reached a new high.Almost half of those surveyed said their companies were either in the middle of restructuring or about to embark on (开始)it; and for the most part, restructuring meant putting more emphasis on teams.B)Companies are abandoning conventional functional departments and organising employees into cross-disciplinaryteams that focus on particular products, problems or customers. These teams are gaining more power to run their own affairs. They are also spending more time working with each other rather than reporting upwards. Deloitte argues that a new organisational form is on the rise: a network of teams is replacing the conventional hierarchy (等级体制).C)The fashion for teams is driven by a sense that the old way of organising people is too rigid for both the modemmarketplace and the expectations of employees. Technological innovation places greater value on agility (灵活性). John Chambers, chairman of Cisco Systems Inc. ,a worldwide leader in electronics products, says that "we compete against market transitions (过渡),not competitors. Product transitions used to take five or seven years; now they take one or two. "Digital technology also makes it easier for people to co-ordinate their activities without resorting to hierarchy. The "millennials" (千禧一代)who will soon make up half the workforce in rich countries were raised from nursery school onwards to work in groups.D)The fashion for teams is also spreading from the usual corporate suspects (such as GE and IBM) to some moreunusual ones. The Cleveland Clinic, a hospital operator, has reorganised its medical staff into teams to focus on particular treatment areas; consultants, nurses and others collaborate closely instead of being separated by speciality (专业)and rank. The US Army has gone the same way. In his book, Team of Teams ,General Stanley McChrystal describes how the army's hierarchicalstructure hindered its operations during the early stages of the Iraq war. His solution was to learn something from the rebels it was fighting: decentralising authority to self-organising teams.E)A good rule of thumb is that as soon as generals and hospital administrators jump on a management bandwagon(追随一种管理潮流),it is time to ask questions. Leigh Thompson of Kellogg School of Management in Illinois warns that, "Teams are not always the answer—teams may provide insight, creativity and knowledge ina way that a person working independently cannot; but teamwork may also lead to confusion, delay and poordecision-making." The late Richard Hackman of Harvard University once argued, "I have no question that when you have a team, the possibility exists that it will generate magic, producing something extraordinary. ..But don't count on it. "F)Hackman (who died in 2013) noted that teams are hindered by problems of co-ordination and motivation thatchip away at the benefits of collaboration. High-flyers (能干的人)who are forced to work in teams may be undervalued and free-riders empowered. Group-think may be unavoidable. In a study of旦Q teams of senior executives, he discovered that less than 10% of their supposed members agreed on who exactly was on the team.If it is hard enough to define a team's membership, agreeing on its purpose is harder still.G)Profound changes in the workforce are making teams trickier to manage. Teams work best if their members havea strong common culture. This is hard to achieve when, as is now the case in many big firms, a large proportionof staff are temporary contractors. Teamwork improves with time: America's National Transportation Safety Board found that 73% of the incidents in its civil-aviation database occurred on a crew's first day of flying together. However, as Amy Edmondson of Harvard points out, organisations increasingly use "team" as a verb rather than a noun: they form teams for specific purposes and then quickly disband them.H)The least that can be concluded from this research is that companies need to think harder about managing teams.They need to rid their minds of sentimentalism (感情用事):the most successful teams have leaders who are able to set an overall direction and take immediate action. They need to keep teams small and focused: giving in to pressure to be more "inclusive" is a guarantee of dysfunction. Jeff Bezos, Amazon's boss, says that "If I see more than two pizzas for lunch, the team is too big. "They need to immunise teams against group-think: Hackman argued that the best ones contain "deviants" (离经叛道者)who are willing to do something that maybe upsetting to others.I) A new study of 12,000 workers in 17 countries by Steelcase, a furniture-maker which also does consulting, findsthat the best way to ensure employees are "engaged" is to give them more control over where and how they do their work—which may mean liberating them from having to do everything in collaboration with others.J)However, organisations need to learn something bigger than how to manage teams better: they need to be in the habit of asking themselves whether teams are the best tools for the job. Team-building skills are in short supply: Deloitte reports that only 12% of the executives they contacted feel they understand the way people work together in networks and only 21 %feel confident in their ability to build cross-functional teams. Loosely managed teams can become hotbeds of distraction—employees routinely complain that they can't get their work done because they are forced to spend too much time in meetings or compelled to work in noisy offices. Even in the age of open­plan offices and social networks some work is best left to the individual.36.Successful team leaders know exactly where the team should go and are able to take prompt action.37.Decentralisation of authority was also found to be more effective in military operations.38.In many companies, the conventional form of organisation is giving way to a network of teams.39.Members of poorly managed teams are easily distracted from their work.40.Teamwork is most effective when team members share the same culture.41.According to a report by Deloitte, teamwork is becoming increasingly popular among companies.42.Some team members find it hard to agree on questions like membership and the team's purpose.43.Some scholars think teamwork may not always be reliable, despite its potential to work wonders.44.To ensure employees'commitment, it is advisable to give them more flexibility as to where and how they work.45.Product transitions take much less time now than in the past.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. 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 andmark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money ,research has shown.Penny-pinching UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl rather than luxury alternatives.This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from£1. 19 billion in 2011 to£1. 12 billion in 2015, according to a new report from market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy ,with sales expected to fall further to£1. 11 billion in 2016.In the last year alone ,despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2 % , with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from£43 in 2014 to£41 in 2015.Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit the让usage of paper—including facial tissue and kitchen roll—to save money. "Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume, "said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. " T hese extra features are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers ,which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper,even when on special offer."While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fussy—in theory at least—when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons'toliet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%).One in 10 buyers rank toliet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufacturers ,81 %of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.46. The market sales of toilet paper have decreased because.A)Britons have cut their spending on itB)its prices have gone up over the yearsC)its quality has seen marked improvementD)Britons have developed the habit of saving4 7. What does the author think of the future of the tissue paper market in the UK?A)It will expand in time.B)It will remam gloomy.C)It will experience ups and downs.D)It will recover as population grows.48. What does Jack Duckett say about toilet paper?A)Special offers would promote its sales.B)Consumers are loyal to certain brands.C)Luxurious features add much to the price.D)Consumers have a variety to choose from.49. What do we learn about Britons concerning toilet paper?A)They are particular about the quality of toilet paper.B)They emphasize the strength of toilet paper the most.C)They prefer cheap toilet paper to recycled toilet paper.D)They reject using toilet paper with unnecessary features.50. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A)More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment.B)Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales.C)Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve product quality.D)Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage."One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger, " says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.By studying about 700 adult smokers ,she found out that her mom quit the right way—by stopping abruptly and completely.In her study, participants were randomly (随机地)assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine (尼古丁)patches before they quit ,in addition to a second form of nicotine replacement , like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.Six months out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it—more than one-fifth of them, comparedto about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they'd rather cut down gradually before quitting. "If you're training for a marathon, you wouldn't expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think,'Well, if I gradually reduce, it's like practice,"'says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasn't the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravi ngs (瘾)and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. "Regardless of your stated preference, if you're ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective," says Dr. Gabriela Ferre让a." W hen you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that's compelling. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it," Ferreira says.People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.51. What does Lindson-Hawley say about her mother?A)She quit smoking with her daughter's help.B)She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly.C)She was also a researcher of tobacco and health.D)She studied the smoking patterns of adult smokers.52. What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawley's study?A)They were given physical training.B)They were looked after by physicians.C)They were encouraged by psychologists.D)They were offered nicotine replacements.53.How does Dr. Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley's experiment?A)It is idealized.B)It is unexpected.C)It is encouraging.D)It is misleading.54.The idea of "a marathon" (Line 2, Para. 5) illustrates the popular belief that quitting smoking.A)is something few can accomplish B)needs some practice firstC)requires a lot of patience D)is a challenge at the beginning55. What happens when people try to quit smoking gradually?A)They find it even more difficult.B)They are simply unable to make it.C)They show fewer withdrawal symptoms.D)They feel much less pain in the process.Part IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions : 的r this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage f rom Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.长江是亚洲最长、世界上第三长的河流。

The river originates in Qinghai, and runs through nine provinces before it empties into the Bohai Sea. The Yellow River is one of the several rivers that sustain life and livelihood in China.

Of course I was scared,yet I had this strong sense of “I have to do this.”On ly a few months later Leah opened her first yoga studio,but success was not instant.I.Creating the future takes time. That’s why leaders continue to manage the present while building toward the big nonlincar changes of the future.when it’s time to make the Leah stayed with her accounting jod while starting up the yoga studio to make it all work.”I was working 60 hours a week and running a studio.so I wasn’t getting very much sleep.

It has shrunk from £1.19 billion in 2011 to £1. 12billion in 2015, according to a new report from market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expectedto fall future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to £1.11billion in 2016.In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from £43 in 2014 to £41 in 2015.Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper-including facial tissue and kitchen roll –to save money. "Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators ODM toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume," said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. "These extra features are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer."While consunmers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fussy-in theory atleast-when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons' toilet paper wish list issoftness(57%)followed by strength(45%)and thickness(36%).One in 10 buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufactures, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.46.【题干】The market sales of toilet paper have decreased because_____.【选项】A.Britons have cut their spending on itB.its prices have gone up over the yearC.its quality has seen marked improvementD.Britons have developed the habit of saving47.【题干】What does the author think of the future of the tissue paper market in the UK?【选项】A.It will expand in time.B.It will remain gloomy.C.It will experience ups and downs.D.It will recover as population grows.48.【题干】What does Jack Duckett say about toilet paper?【选项】A.Special offers would promote its sales.B.Consumers are loyal to certain brands.C.Luxurious features add much to the price.D.Consumers have a variety to choose from.49.【题干】What do we learn about Britons concerning toilet paper?【选项】A.They are particular about the quality of toilet paper.B.They emphasize the strength of toilet paper the most.C.They prefer cheap toilet paper to recycled toilet paper.D.They reject using toilet paper with unnecessary features.50.【题干】What can we infer from the last paragraph?【选项】A.More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment.B.Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales.C.Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve.D.Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.Passage TwoQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage."One of the reason I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger," say Lindson-Hawly, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.By studying about 700 adult smoker, she found out that her mom quit the right way-by stopping abruptly and completely.In her study, participants were randomly(随机地)assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine(尼古丁)patches before they quit, in addition to a second form of nicotine replacement, like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.Six months out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it-more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they'd rather cut down gradually before quitting. "If you're training for a marathon, you wouldn't expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think, 'Well, if I gradually reduce, it's like practice.' "saysLindsons-Hawley. But that wasn't the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings(瘾)and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. "Regardless of your stated preference, if you're ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective,” says Dr. Gabrieia Ferreira, "When you can quote a specific number like a fifith of the patients were able to q uit, that's compelling. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it,” Ferreira says.People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.51.【题干】What does Lindson-Hawley say about her mother?【选项】A.She quit smoking with her daughter's help.B.She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly.C.She was also a researcher of tobacco and health.D.She studied the smoking pattems of adult smokers.52.【题干】What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawley's study?【选项】A.They were given physical training.B.They were looked after by physicians.C.They were encouraged by pshchologists.D.They were offered nicotine replacements.53.【题干】How does Dr.Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley's experiment?【选项】A.It is idealized.B.It is unexpected.C.It is encouraging.D.It is misleading.54.【题干】The idea of "a marathon" (Line 2, Para.5) illustrates the popular belief that quitting smoking _____.【选项】A.is something few can accomplishB.needs some practice firstC.requires a lot of patienceD.is a challenge at the beginning55.【题干】What happens when people try to quit smoking gradually?【选项】A.They find it even more difficult.B.They are simply unable to make it.C.They show fewer withdrawal symptomsD.They feel much less pain in the process.翻译一:2017.6 四级翻译题目一:黄河是亚洲第三、世界第六长的河流。

Fear not, however, for coffee can stimulate them again. During26 exercise, our muscles tire as they run out of fuel and build up waste products. Muscle performance can also be affected by a 27 called "central fatigue," in which an imbalance in the body's chemical messengers prevents the central nervous system from directing muscle movements 28 . It was not known , however , whether central fatigue might also affect motor systems not directly 29 in the exercise itself, such as those that move the eyes. To find out, researchers gave 11 volunteer cyclists a carbohydrate (碳水化合物的)30 either with a moderate dose of caffeine (咖啡因),which is known to stimulate the central nervous system ,or as a placebo (安慰剂)without, during 3 hours of 31 . After exercising ,the scientists tested the cyclists with eye-tracking cameras to see how well their brains could still 32 their visual system. The team found that exercise reduced the speed of rapid eye movements by about 8%, 33 their ability to capture new visual information. The caffeine, the equivalent of two strong cups of coffee, was 34 to reverse this effect, with some cyclists even displaying 35 eye movement speeds. So it might be a good idea to get someone else to drive you home after that marathon.A)cautiously B)commit C)controlD)cycling E)effectively F)increasedG)involved H)limited I)phenomenonJ)preventing K)sensitive L)slowingM)solution N)sufficient O)vigorousSection Ba passage wit ten statements attac e to it. Each statement contains Directions: In讥is section ,you are going to read·h h d·information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questionsby marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Team SpiritA)Teams have become the basic building blocks of organisations. Recruitment advertisements routinely call for"team players. " Business schools grade their students in part on their performance in group projects. Office managers knock down walls to encourage team building. Teams are as old as civilisation, of course: even Jesus had 12 co-workers. But a new report by Deloitte, "Global Human Capital Trends," based on a survey of more than 7,000 executives in over 130 countries, suggests that the fashion for teamwork has reached a new high.Almost half of those surveyed said their companies were either in the middle of restructuring or about to embark on (开始)it; and for the most part, restructuring meant putting more emphasis on teams.B)Companies are abandoning conventional functional departments and organising employees into cross-disciplinaryteams that focus on particular products, problems or customers. These teams are gaining more power to run their own affairs. They are also spending more time working with each other rather than reporting upwards. Deloitte argues that a new organisational form is on the rise: a network of teams is replacing the conventional hierarchy (等级体制).C)The fashion for teams is driven by a sense that the old way of organising people is too rigid for both the modemmarketplace and the expectations of employees. Technological innovation places greater value on agility (灵活性). John Chambers, chairman of Cisco Systems Inc. ,a worldwide leader in electronics products, says that "we compete against market transitions (过渡),not competitors. Product transitions used to take five or seven years; now they take one or two. "Digital technology also makes it easier for people to co-ordinate their activities without resorting to hierarchy. The "millennials" (千禧一代)who will soon make up half the workforce in rich countries were raised from nursery school onwards to work in groups.D)The fashion for teams is also spreading from the usual corporate suspects (such as GE and IBM) to some moreunusual ones. The Cleveland Clinic, a hospital operator, has reorganised its medical staff into teams to focus on particular treatment areas; consultants, nurses and others collaborate closely instead of being separated by speciality (专业)and rank. The US Army has gone the same way. In his book, Team of Teams ,General Stanley McChrystal describes how the army's hierarchicalstructure hindered its operations during the early stages of the Iraq war. His solution was to learn something from the rebels it was fighting: decentralising authority to self-organising teams.E)A good rule of thumb is that as soon as generals and hospital administrators jump on a management bandwagon(追随一种管理潮流),it is time to ask questions. Leigh Thompson of Kellogg School of Management in Illinois warns that, "Teams are not always the answer—teams may provide insight, creativity and knowledge ina way that a person working independently cannot; but teamwork may also lead to confusion, delay and poordecision-making." The late Richard Hackman of Harvard University once argued, "I have no question that when you have a team, the possibility exists that it will generate magic, producing something extraordinary. ..But don't count on it. "F)Hackman (who died in 2013) noted that teams are hindered by problems of co-ordination and motivation thatchip away at the benefits of collaboration. High-flyers (能干的人)who are forced to work in teams may be undervalued and free-riders empowered. Group-think may be unavoidable. In a study of旦Q teams of senior executives, he discovered that less than 10% of their supposed members agreed on who exactly was on the team.If it is hard enough to define a team's membership, agreeing on its purpose is harder still.G)Profound changes in the workforce are making teams trickier to manage. Teams work best if their members havea strong common culture. This is hard to achieve when, as is now the case in many big firms, a large proportionof staff are temporary contractors. Teamwork improves with time: America's National Transportation Safety Board found that 73% of the incidents in its civil-aviation database occurred on a crew's first day of flying together. However, as Amy Edmondson of Harvard points out, organisations increasingly use "team" as a verb rather than a noun: they form teams for specific purposes and then quickly disband them.H)The least that can be concluded from this research is that companies need to think harder about managing teams.They need to rid their minds of sentimentalism (感情用事):the most successful teams have leaders who are able to set an overall direction and take immediate action. They need to keep teams small and focused: giving in to pressure to be more "inclusive" is a guarantee of dysfunction. Jeff Bezos, Amazon's boss, says that "If I see more than two pizzas for lunch, the team is too big. "They need to immunise teams against group-think: Hackman argued that the best ones contain "deviants" (离经叛道者)who are willing to do something that maybe upsetting to others.I) A new study of 12,000 workers in 17 countries by Steelcase, a furniture-maker which also does consulting, findsthat the best way to ensure employees are "engaged" is to give them more control over where and how they do their work—which may mean liberating them from having to do everything in collaboration with others.J)However, organisations need to learn something bigger than how to manage teams better: they need to be in the habit of asking themselves whether teams are the best tools for the job. Team-building skills are in short supply: Deloitte reports that only 12% of the executives they contacted feel they understand the way people work together in networks and only 21 %feel confident in their ability to build cross-functional teams. Loosely managed teams can become hotbeds of distraction—employees routinely complain that they can't get their work done because they are forced to spend too much time in meetings or compelled to work in noisy offices. Even in the age of open­plan offices and social networks some work is best left to the individual.36.Successful team leaders know exactly where the team should go and are able to take prompt action.37.Decentralisation of authority was also found to be more effective in military operations.38.In many companies, the conventional form of organisation is giving way to a network of teams.39.Members of poorly managed teams are easily distracted from their work.40.Teamwork is most effective when team members share the same culture.41.According to a report by Deloitte, teamwork is becoming increasingly popular among companies.42.Some team members find it hard to agree on questions like membership and the team's purpose.43.Some scholars think teamwork may not always be reliable, despite its potential to work wonders.44.To ensure employees'commitment, it is advisable to give them more flexibility as to where and how they work.45.Product transitions take much less time now than in the past.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. 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 andmark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money ,research has shown.Penny-pinching UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl rather than luxury alternatives.This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from£1. 19 billion in 2011 to£1. 12 billion in 2015, according to a new report from market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy ,with sales expected to fall further to£1. 11 billion in 2016.In the last year alone ,despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2 % , with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from£43 in 2014 to£41 in 2015.Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit the让usage of paper—including facial tissue and kitchen roll—to save money. "Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume, "said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. " T hese extra features are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers ,which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper,even when on special offer."While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fussy—in theory at least—when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons'toliet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%).One in 10 buyers rank toliet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufacturers ,81 %of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.46. The market sales of toilet paper have decreased because.A)Britons have cut their spending on itB)its prices have gone up over the yearsC)its quality has seen marked improvementD)Britons have developed the habit of saving4 7. What does the author think of the future of the tissue paper market in the UK?A)It will expand in time.B)It will remam gloomy.C)It will experience ups and downs.D)It will recover as population grows.48. What does Jack Duckett say about toilet paper?A)Special offers would promote its sales.B)Consumers are loyal to certain brands.C)Luxurious features add much to the price.D)Consumers have a variety to choose from.49. What do we learn about Britons concerning toilet paper?A)They are particular about the quality of toilet paper.B)They emphasize the strength of toilet paper the most.C)They prefer cheap toilet paper to recycled toilet paper.D)They reject using toilet paper with unnecessary features.50. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A)More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment.B)Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales.C)Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve product quality.D)Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage."One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger, " says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.By studying about 700 adult smokers ,she found out that her mom quit the right way—by stopping abruptly and completely.In her study, participants were randomly (随机地)assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine (尼古丁)patches before they quit ,in addition to a second form of nicotine replacement , like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.Six months out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it—more than one-fifth of them, comparedto about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they'd rather cut down gradually before quitting. "If you're training for a marathon, you wouldn't expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think,'Well, if I gradually reduce, it's like practice,"'says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasn't the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravi ngs (瘾)and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. "Regardless of your stated preference, if you're ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective," says Dr. Gabriela Ferre让a." W hen you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that's compelling. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it," Ferreira says.People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.51. What does Lindson-Hawley say about her mother?A)She quit smoking with her daughter's help.B)She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly.C)She was also a researcher of tobacco and health.D)She studied the smoking patterns of adult smokers.52. What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawley's study?A)They were given physical training.B)They were looked after by physicians.C)They were encouraged by psychologists.D)They were offered nicotine replacements.53.How does Dr. Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley's experiment?A)It is idealized.B)It is unexpected.C)It is encouraging.D)It is misleading.54.The idea of "a marathon" (Line 2, Para. 5) illustrates the popular belief that quitting smoking.A)is something few can accomplish B)needs some practice firstC)requires a lot of patience D)is a challenge at the beginning55.

大学英语四级真题解析【2017年6月版】
新东方在线四六级赵奇
亲爱的同学们,大家好,非常荣幸给大家讲解我们四级的真题,我是四级翻译的主讲老师。

今年四级翻译依然延续了往年的方式,从2016年开始,考的主题基本是同质性的。

2016年12月份考三篇文章关于红色、黄色、白色,今年的主题也是一样的,考的长江、珠江和黄河,我们可以预测以后的四级翻译都是统一题材下三个不同的主体,这样有利于考试的公平。

下面主要对今年的四级翻译真题进行解析,包括一些长短句的解析和难词的解析,最后我们把答案给大家呈现出来,大家可以看一下。

我们四级翻译的解析讲两方面的内容,第一是真题总评,第二是对第一、二、三套真题的解析。

首先,真题总评
2017年4月份的真题总评是2016年12月份的延续。

2016年是红色、白色和黄色,2017年是珠江、长江和黄河,范文字数提高到了110-120左右。

难度和范文字数都增加了,难度高于2016年真题,2016年12月份真题是放水之年,今年是平稳的态势。

第三是和考试相关的内容,大家考四级翻译的时候应该注意什么?我们发现今年介词短语的形式做后置定语和做状语是大量考查的。

时态方面也有大量的考查,有过去时和现在完成时,大家备考的时候要注意时态。

我们发现今年有一个新的课程,主题词汇,四级翻译出题不是随便出的,是根据历史文化经济发展来出的,以往的重要性凸显的不是很明显,今年考试中大量考查主题词汇,我估计很多同学写长江、珠江和黄河都会写错,但单词错了也只是扣一次的分数。

其次,逐篇讲解真题
第一篇文章,很多同学看到珠江是蒙的状态,长江黄河不会说,珠怎么说?珍珠不知道怎么
写。

同学们,加勒比海盗5里提到的船叫Black Pearl,pearl就是珍珠的意思,所以珠江就是Pearl River。

有的人说不会写,你会写汉语拼音吗?后面可以加一个River就可以了。

如果丢了river怎么办?这是单词写作的错误,不会影响整体翻译的大局,只扣一次的分数。

或者写一次珠江,后面用it来替代,翻译的时候要灵活应用。

接着我们进行翻译里边的难词解析,这里边应该有四个比较把握不准的单词,第一是珠江流经广州市,流经用flow through,我写了flow accross可不可以?flow accross也是可以的。

有同学说不会写flow,写了run也是可以的,还有同学说run也不会写,写go through 可以吗?这个是经历了什么事情,不是流经了,所以是不可以的。

第二个单词是城市聚集区,urban agglomeration,这个词既不是四级也不是六级,我个人认为这个词有点超纲,有的同学不会写agglomeration,这没有什么实质影响,可以进行同义词或近义词替换。

我们在翻译的时候有很多不认识的词语怎么办?可以使用它的同义词或近义词。

聚集区不会说,可以用地区area替换,城市聚集区,不会写agglomeration,可以写成area。

第三个单词是改革开放。

不会写这个单词的同学要反思一下自己,但凡上过我们新东方课的同学知道,改革开放一定是讲过的。

改革reform,开放opening up,改革开放就是the reform and opening up。

制造中心是manufacturing center,很多同学不会写manufacturing,不会写就变成工业中心,因为制造肯定属于工业,制造中心翻译成industrial center也可以,依据同近词替换法,翻译主要忠于原文,制造中心翻译成工业中心industrial center也是可以的。

下面给大家解析一下两个比较复杂的句子。

第一个句子:珠江是河南一大河流,流经广州市,是中国第三场河流,仅次于长江和黄河。

为什么把这句挑出来解析?大家发现这句非常奇特,在中国看来这句话没有任何问题,但是翻译成英文有三个逗号,这就犯了语法的错误。

大家知道,英文一个句子有一个主谓结
构,出现多个词要用并列连词。

有的同学直接都用逗号,这是错误的。

怎么办?没有关系,你可以把句子拆一下。

珠江是华南一大河流,流经广州市,这个作为一句。

这句话的主干可以写成珠江流经广州市,华南一大河流。

同学们知道珠江是华南一大河流,就是A和B的关系,B可以做A的同位语。

大家先写the Pearl River,逗号,然后再写an extensive river system in South Chin。

河系这个词非常简单,就是river system。

华南怎么写?我在网上看到一些结构,答案非常不负责任,这篇英文来自于vikipedia百科,Southern China这个照搬下来是错误的。

华南就我们翻译的角度而言,实际上应翻译成South China。

Vikipedia想表达的是中国南方。

广州直接写广州就可以了,后面加单词ctiy是没有必要的。

第二个句子:中国第三长河流,仅次于长江、黄河。

我在这里点了一个句号,另起一句,次于就是落后于after。

仅用just,写only也可以的。

长江是Yangtze River,黄河是Yellow River,有同学写长江Chang River,黄河Huang River,能不能得分?不一定得分,但是可以告诉大家,写错不一定重复扣分。

第二个句子是:自上世纪70年代末中国改革开放以来,浙江三角洲已成为中国和世界主要经济区域和制造中心之一。

我们四六级翻译对于时态考查非常基础,一般现在时,一般过去时,一般将来时,现在进行时,现在完成时,最难的就是现在完成时,表示一个动作从过去开始持续到现在。

只要上过我们翻译课的同学,看过这个句子就会微微一笑,太简单了,自什么什么以来,这是现在完成时的标志词,已成为也是标志词。
