2013年12月大学英语四六级改革新题型翻译专练(附答案)(强烈推荐)

2013年12月大学英语四六级改革新题型翻译专练（附答案）（强烈推荐）翻译题1. 澳门，南海之滨一颗闪耀的明珠，以她的风采、沧桑和辉煌，更以1999年12月20日这个不同寻常的日子，吸引着全世界的目光。

自古以来，澳门就是中国的领土，中华儿女世世代代在这里繁衍生息。

早在80年代，世纪伟人邓小平就提出了"一国两制"的伟大构想。

1997年7月1日，中华人民共和国恢复对香港行使主权。

今年，澳门又将彻底结束外国管治，回到祖国怀抱，这是中华民族的又一件历史盛事，它标志着中国人民向着祖国统一的伟大目标又迈出了重大的步。

澳门的明天一定会更好美好。

2．和平稳定是发展的前提和基础。

上个世纪，人类经历了两次世界大战，生灵涂炭，经济社会发展遭受严重挫折。

第二次世界大战结束以来，世界经济能够快速增长，主要得益于相对和平稳定的国际环境。

我们应该恪守联合国宪章宗旨和原则，充分发挥联合国及其安理会在维护和平、缔造和平、建设和平方面的核心作用。

坚持通过对话和协商，以和平方式解决国际争端。

我们应该坚持国家不论大小、强弱、贫富都是国际社会平等一员，以民主、包容、合作、共赢的精神实现共同安全，做到一国内部的事情一国自主办、大家共同的事情大家商量办，坚定不移奉行多边主义和国际合作，推进国际关系民主化。

3.如果说我确实有所成就的话，那也只是因为我坚信不断尝试就会成功。

遇到挫折时，你可以暂时把问题放一放，一味纠结不仅无济于事，有时反倒使情况更糟。

先去读一本好书、见见久未谋面的好友或去户外骑游一番；再回头看待问题，你或许会感到柳暗花明。

这样做后，别忘了多加反省：“为什么这个方法会奏效？下次能不能做得更好呢？”看你定的是什么目标，这种方法可以被反复有效应用。

如果你坚定不移地持续提升自己，最后成功肯定非你莫属。

孜孜不倦向来无敌。

4.关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。

一个是唐朝的神话故事，说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。

有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中，巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。

2013年12月六级翻译评析

2013年12月六级翻译评析第一篇：2013年12月六级翻译评析2013年12月六级翻译评析从八月份四六级改革公布到12月14号第一次改革后真题面世，大学英语老师、培训机构的老师和广大四六级考生们都在这个四个月的时间里经历了担忧、恐惧、好奇，最终等待、期盼的过程。

当变化最大的六级段落汉译英真题和大家见面后，每一个与之相关的人都会大叹一句：中国风，真不简单啊！六级学生反馈最多、反响最大的三个六级段落汉译英是：中秋节简介、丝绸之路简介和中国园林简介。

整体来说，中文语句都是大学生一读就懂的句子。

标点符号也没有超越样题中的句号、逗号和顿号。

所有中文语句分析整理后，就可以找出对应的英文句子结构。

之前的课程都有所涉及，如果上课认真跟着班级听课，解决起来并不难。

但是，前两段相对来说中文句子结构比较简单，而中国园林句子较为松散，难度稍高一些。

下面从句子分析层面选择“中秋节”和“中国园林”段落中最长最难的两个中文句子做一个对比。

“中秋节在农历八月十五，是人们拜月的节日，这天夜晚皓月当空，人们合家团聚，共赏明月。

”按照上课时的步骤，通过标点符号我们主要是对拆分出来的各个部分进行“分”或“合”的处理。

由于大家对中文的理解把握不同，这句话至少有两种处理方式--“中秋节（是）在农历八月十五（整句），（中秋节）是人们拜月的节日（整句），这天夜晚皓月当空（整句），人们合家团聚，（并列）共赏明月（整句）。

”“中秋节在农历八月十五（整句），是人们拜月的节日（定语从句），这天夜晚皓月当空（时间状语从句），人们合家团聚，共赏明月。

（主句）”下面我们来看下比较难的中国园林里较长的一句。

“典型的中国园林四周有围墙，园内有池塘、假山、树木、花草以及各种各样由蜿蜒的小路和走廊连接的建筑。

”中文读下来就觉得想死，中文词语之间修饰很多、纠缠不清。

但是按照上课时所说的：理解中文才是翻译的第一步。

沉下心来，按照上课的步骤走下来，也至少有两种理解思路--“典型的中国园林四周有围墙（整句），园内有池塘、假山、树木、花草以及（并列）各种各样由蜿蜒的小路和（并列）走廊连接的建筑。

大学英语六级(2013年12月考试改革适用)模拟试卷179(题后含答案及解析)

大学英语六级（2013年12月考试改革适用）模拟试卷179(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. Writing 2. Listening Comprehension 3. Reading Comprehension 4. TranslationPart I Writing1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then discuss how to get rid of this phenomenon. You should give sound arguments to support your views and write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.正确答案：Caution, Diploma Mills As is shown in the picture, a representative from a private higher learning institution is trying to recruit a student with a big cage the way a hunter does to his prey. What this picture wants to convey is that nowadays some unqualified colleges, also called diploma mills, are trying to recruit more students despite their own accreditation. A diploma mill sells college diplomas that require little or no academic work. Usually these un-reputable, unaccredited colleges love to prey on those suffering a setback in National College Entrance Examination. In most cases, these students are helpless and eager to catch any opportunity to further education. Hence it is easy for these colleges to take advantage of them. What’s more, it’s no wonder parents and students fell into that trap from time to time since these colleges are titled elegant names, and boast hosting one of the most renowned faculties in the world. In my opinion, scrutiny, regulation and law enforcement involving diploma mills should be honed and enhanced. Besides, parents and students themselves should be more alert and make a thorough investigation before deciding on which university to attend.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文：W: Good afternoon, Dr. Bishop. Do you have a couple of minutes? You see, I have some difficulty with my project. M: Sure. You have about 10 minutes before I leave for my lecture. What is your problem? W: Our team has finished the observations of the children. Should we just put the notes down or should we do some further research and draw a conclusion? M: Well, first, you mentioned children.(1)What I require is to make observations of the same child, at different time and different locations. W: Oh dear! We must have misunderstood the requirement. Does that mean we must do the observations from the very beginning? M: I’m afraid so.(2)Then, after that, what you need to do is to study your notes, and see what kindof behavior is influenced by the environment and what kind of behavior is not affected. You should put your findings in the paper and you also need to find published theories that support your conclusion. W: Dr. Bishop, is it possible that we submit the paper a few days later, just in case that we can’t make it? M:(3-1)The deadline I put in the assignment is for the presentation. You may need to make some amendments before handing in the paper. W: Presentation? What’s wrong with us? No one in our team has ever mentioned the presentation. There is no way we can make the deadline! M:(4)If everyone in your team shares the assignment, say each works on a chapter of the paper, then one takes the job of editing PPT and one prepares for the oral presentation, and if you all work hard enough, (3-2)I’m sure you can make the deadline. W: I’m afraid we don’t have other choices. Thank you, Dr. Bishop.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. How should the students carry out the observations? 2. What does the professor expect his students to find? 3. According to the conversation, how does the professor respond to his student’s requirement? 4.

How can I be of assistance?M: You see, I’m a first-year student here and I missed my orientation.(5)Before I attend my first lecture, I need to finish the reading assignment of my professor and I really don’t know how to locate them in the library. W: OK. Let me take a look. It’s really a long list. Maybe the computerized catalog can save you some time. M: You mean the computers like this?W: Yes. You can find the computer terminals on each floor. Let me show you how to use the system. M: OK. Thank you. W: Before you start to search the whereabouts of a book, you need to know at least some accurate information of the book, like the author or the title.(6)First, log in the system with your student ID, then put the information in the box. Press the search button. You can see clearly where the book is now. M: I see.(7)So this means the book Introductory Psychology I need is on the second floor of the east wing? W: Yes.M: What does this red-letter word “ reserved” mean? W: Oh, this means that you can only read the book in the library and you can’t take them out.(8)Usually requirements like this are made by the professor so that all the students can have a chance to read the book. M: Yes, of course. I learned that I can keep the book I borrowed for three weeks and before the book is due, I can renew it if necessary. Is it correct? W: Yes, but you can only renew once.

What if they don’t need the Internet to pull data out of the facility’s computers? Instead, they can just infect an office printer and—with software alone—turn it into a radio. This sounds like sci-fi, but it’s now possible.(9)Security researchers at a Manhattan startup have discovered how to make any modern device—printer, washing machine, air conditioner—broadcast invisible, inaudible signals for miles. That’s a game changer—and a huge step forward for hackers. The rapidly expanding $77 billion cybersecurity industry is all about guarding computer networks. Companies and governments buy products to stay protected. But they keep running out of effective defensive options. That’s where Ang Cui and his team of bright researchers come in. They found a way to sneak data out of a computer network without setting off any alarms.(10)It’s groundbreaking research, because it also hints at the ability to steal data from computers that aren’t even connected to the Internet, like those at nuclear facilities. Last week, the team at Red Balloon Security demonstrated how it works to several news reporters. They infected a Pantum laser printer and toyed with its circuits, making it do something it was never meant to. By quickly switching a chip’s energy output back and forth, the printer emits electromagnetic radiation. The Red Balloon team calls it a “funtenna”.(11)In fact, one of the only ways to detect this highly advanced tactic is by walking around with an AM radio. If you get near a device and the radio static is interrupted by loud beeping, it’s secretly transmitting radio signals.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.9. Who discovered the new technology of making any modern device broadcast invisible signals? 10. Why is the new hacking tactic groundbreaking? 11. What is the best way to protect people from the new hacking tactic?10．A．Some senior hackers.B．The government agencies.C．The security researchers.D．The game players.正确答案：C11．A．Because it costs $ 77 billion to develop.B．Because it even puts data in offline devices in danger.C．Because it aims at nuclear facilities and military bases.D．Because it is revealed to reporters and the public.正确答案：B12．A．Cutting all the devices from the Internet.B．Stopping using all the advanced laser printers.C．Installing the high-tech anti-hacking softwares.D．Using an AM radio to detect the signals.正确答案：D听力原文：(12-1)Swedish fathers from next year will receive a third month of paid paternity leave in order to increase gender equality, the Swedish government has announced.(13)A 16-month parental leave, which can be used anytime up until the child turns eight, is already offered to parents who can share this time between them. Up until now, two of the months have been reserved specifically for fathers. But under the proposals, both mothers and fathers must take at least three months off, or risk losing these months, meaning that mothers cannot claims the months reserved specifically for fathers. Swedish parents receive 80% of their salary while on parental leave, reports Swedish news site the Local, which tops at around 4,000 per month. A third month “ is something we’ve really looked forward to,” Social Security Minister Annika Strandhall told Swedish Radio.(12-2)”We know that this is a key issue towards attaining greater gender equality. “(14)In contrast to Sweden’s liberal attitudes, the U. K. only offers fathers two weeks of dedicated paid leave, while the U. S. offers none whatsoever. In Canada, only one in ten fathers claims paternity leave. Some 80% of children in Sweden have two working parents, but only around 40% of women work full-time compared to some 75% of men.(15)The proposal appears to be popular among Swedish men. Close to 90% of Swedish fathers currently take paternity leave, according to The Economist, and since Swedish men started to take more responsibility for child rearing, women have seen both their incomes and levels of self-reported happiness increase.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.12. Why does the government increase fathers’ paid paternity leave?13. What is the requirement of the Swedish parental leave? 14. How long do U. K. fathers take for dedicated paid paternity leave? 15. According to the passage, what do Swedish men think of the new policy?13．A．To solve economic problem.B．To increase gender equality.C．To follow the international trend.D．To increase the number of population.正确答案：B14．A．Only mothers can take the paid parental leave.B．No parental leave can be taken after the child is 8.C．Only families of two working parents can enjoy the paid leave.D．Parents must reserve the paid parental leave in advance.正确答案：B15．A．For 2 weeks.B．For 10 weeks.C．For 2 months.D．For 3 months.正确答案：A16．A．They worry about the salary cut.B．They show favor to taking the leave.C．They think women should benefit more.D．They feel more responsibility on them.正确答案：BSection C听力原文：Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19.Moderator: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, it gives me a great honor to introduce our speaker for today’s lecture, Dr. Thomas Wood. Dr. Wood, professor of sociology at University of California, has written numerous articles and books on the topic of(16)interpersonal relationship, which troubles most people nowadays. Welcome, Dr. Wood. Dr. Wood: I have heard lots of complaints from friends that they feel unsafe and upset about everyday life. A difficult relationship, a stressful lifestyle, a fast pace of life and some tough situations to deal with. Before I give my reply, I just think about it for a while. What’s the source of so much unhappiness? What sounds or impressions are you making on the people around you? Think about it. Your words, phrases, even your message may soon be forgotten but believe me, good or bad, your melody lingers. An odd choice of phrase? Not really. The dictionarydefines “melody” as a succession of sounds, and what is life other than the combining and blending of a succession of movements and sounds. Just as a musical composition affects the moods and emotions of people who hear it, so does the way you live your life. (17)Think of your life as a blank sheet of manuscript paper. Only the rhythm is there—it is up to you to create the harmony. Naturally you will want your composition to be a success, a chart buster even a Symphony—something to be remembered with pleasure. So where to begin? You must begin with yourself.(18)Have the right attitude, enjoy life, and most importantly, be optimistic about the future. Be genuinely interested in other people. Make a conscience effort to bring peace and happiness into other people’s lives. Avoid situations that generate excessive ambition, envy, anger and pride. They are all enemies of peace and will ruin your harmony. It has been said that if these emotions or feelings were banished, the world would live in perpetual peace. Well, to banish them from the world is probably aiming a bit high but it shouldn’t be too difficult to rid them from your own life. Develop traits such as tact, diplomacy, compassion and sensitivity. These attributes are invaluable in enhancing not only your own life but the lives of those around you.(19)Everything you do has an effect on those around you. The way you move, whether you smile or frown. You are capable of making someone’s day bright or miserable. Take time to listen to other people. If there are too many discords and not enough harmony in their lives, encourage them to have a brighter outlook. Throughout the world most people are striving for peace. From the family unit seated around the dinner table to world leaders at the conference table, the name of the game is the pursuit of peace. So, let us all play our part in composing the rhythm of life by consciously choosing peace and harmony in our daily lives to create a harmonious universe. If one of the suggestions I give you today is helpful to you in the future, I will feel really happy for giving you this speech. Thank you very much!16. What does the introduction part say about interpersonal relationship?17. What does Dr. Wood tell us to think of our life as? 18. What is the most important thing to begin with ourselves? 19. What does Dr. Wood say about the way we move?17．A．It is a kind of social problem.B．It has a bad impact on mental health.C．It makes people less effective at work.D．It troubles most people nowadays.正确答案：D18．A．A song.B．A piece of paper.C．A poem.D．An article.正确答案：B19．A．Have the right attitude.B．Enjoy life.C．Be optimistic.D．Work hard.正确答案：C20．A．It gives an important impression on others.B．It has an impact on people around you.C．It shows whether you are happy or not.D．It is likely to be followed by other people.正确答案：B听力原文：Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22. Many people who drink alcohol also like to smoke cigarettes. Drinking and smoking seem to be closely linked. Some people might even say they go together hand-in-hand. But this may be more than just a mixing of two fairly common activities.(20)New research has looked more closely at the relationship between cigarettes and alcohol. And the relationship is one of equal dependence. Smoking and drinking seem to feed on each other. These are the exact words of Mahesh Thakkar. He is head of research in the Department of Neurology at the University of Missouri’s School of Medicine. Thakkar explains that when a person drinks alcohol he gets sleepy. He says a drug in cigarettes fights that sleepy feeling. That drug, nicotine, can be addictive: smokers need more cigarettes because of their body’s growing dependence on the drug. So, if a person smokes, then he or she is much more likely to drink alcohol, and vice versa. Researchers already knew that people who use alcohol often smoke. In fact, earlier research shows that more than 85 percent of alcohol-dependent American adults also depend on nicotine. Thakkar’s earlier research showed that nicotine combined with alcohol stimulates what he calls the reward center of the brain. However, the new study shows a dependent relationship between the substances.(21)Thakkar says his team finds that nicotine weakens the sleep-causing effects of alcohol. It does this by activating an area of the brain called the basal forebrain. According to the Psychology Definition website, that area is responsible for memory, learning and attention. For this new experiment, Thakkar and his team used equipment that measures brain activity in rats. They injected the rats with both nicotine and alcohol, and then studied brain activity in the animals as they slept. The researchers found that nicotine goes through the basal forebrain and cancels out the sleep-causing effects of alcohol. The World Health Organization says 7 million people die every year from alcohol and nicotine use.(22)Mahesh Thakker and his team identified why alcohol use and smoking are often linked. He says this knowledge may help people break their addictions to alcohol and nicotine.20. What’s the relationship between cigarettes andalcohol? 21. What do Thakkar and his team find out about nicotine?22. How can Thakkar and his team’s finding benefit people?21．A．They always go together hand-in-hand.B．Alcohol-dependent teens will not depend on nicotine.C．It is one of equal dependence.D．People who don’t use alcohol often smoke.正确答案：C22．A．It damages an area of the brain called the basal forebrain.B．It doesn’t stimulate the reward center of the brain.C．It can cause people to get addicted to alcohol.D．It weakens the sleep-causing effects of alcohol.正确答案：D23．A．It helps people understand the basal forebrain.B．It will promote studies on people’s brain activity.C．It may help people break addictions to alcohol and nicotine.D．It can prevent people from getting alcohol-caused sleepy.正确答案：C听力原文：Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25. I’m 71. My husband is 76. My parents are in their late 90s, and Olivia, the dog, is 16. So let’s talk about aging. Mary Oliver says in one of her poems, “ Tell me, what is it that you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”Me, I intend to live passionately. (23)When do we start aging? Society decides when we are old, usually around 65, when we get Medicare, but we really start aging at birth. We are aging right now, and we all experience it differently. We all feel younger than our real age, because the spirit never ages. I am still 17. What have I lost in the last decades? People, of course, places, and the boundless energy of my youth, and I’m beginning to lose independence, and that scares me. (24)What have I gained? Freedom—I don’t have to prove anything anymore. I’m not stuck in the idea of who I was, who I want to be, or what other people expect me to be. My body may be falling apart, but my brain is not, yet. I love my brain. I feel lighter. This is Grace Dammann. She has been in a wheelchair for six years after a terrible car accident. She says that there is nothing more sensual than a hot shower, that every drop of water is a blessing to the senses. She doesn’t see herself as disabled. In her mind, she’s still surfing in the ocean.(25)So how can I stay passionate? I cannot will myself to be passionate at 71. I have been training for some time, and when I feel flat and bored, Ifake it. Attitude. How do I train? I train by saying yes to whatever comes my way: drama, comedy, tragedy, love, death, losses. Yes to life. And I train by trying to stay in love. It doesn’t always work, but you cannot blame me for trying. And, on a final note, retirement in Spanish is celebration. We have contributed to society. Now it’s our time, and it’s a great time. Unless you are ill or very poor, you have choices. I have chosen to stay passionate, engaged with an open heart. I am working on it every day. Want to join me?23. What does the speaker say about aging? 24. How does the speaker feel when she gets old? 25. How does the speaker stay passionate to life?24．A．The society can’t decide when people are old.B．The aged are not in need of medical care.C．People of all ages are now aging.D．Aging is greatly affected by genes.正确答案：C25．A．She has lost too many precious things.B．She begins to gain the freedom.C．She can’t take care of herself any more.D．She feels her brain is falling apart.正确答案：B26．A．She learns from the disabled old ladies.B．She tries to have a positive attitude towards everything.C．She never feels flat or bored in her whole life.D．She thinks retirement is celebration to old people.正确答案：BPart III Reading ComprehensionSection AFor authors of self-help guides, no human problem is too great or too small.

Think of it less as self-help than “shelf help”. Reading has been proven to sharpen【C4】______thinking, enabling us to better discern patterns—a handy tool when it comes to the often baffling behaviour of ourselves and others.

2013年12月大学英语六级改革后的段落翻译(汉译英)练习与解析及解题技巧_2资料

自2013年12月考试起，全国大学英语六级考试的翻译部分将由原单句汉译英调整为段落汉译英，翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等题材，文章长度为180-200个汉字。

以下是大学英语六级考试翻译部分的大纲样题：中国新年是中国最重要的传统节日，在中国也被称为春节。

新年的庆祝活动从除夕开始一直延续到元宵节（the Lantern Festival），即从农历（lunar calendar）最后一个月的最后一天至新年第一个月的第十五天。

各地欢度春节的习俗和传统有很大差异，但通常每个家庭都会在除夕夜团聚，一起吃年夜饭。

为驱厄运、迎好运，家家户户都会进行大扫除。

人们还会在门上粘贴红色的对联（couplets），对联的主题为健康、发财和好运。

其他的活动还有放鞭炮、发红包和探访亲友等。

首先，这段关于中国春节的小文章难词较多，比如“传统”、“庆祝活动”、“除夕”、“延续”、“习俗”、“年夜饭”、“厄运”、“大扫除”“主题”、“放鞭炮”、“发红包”等等，这些词有的比较抽象，有的不太常见，或者有的是中国特有的说法，英文中没有明确对应的词，考生在翻译时应该抓住词的根本意思。

如果说原来的大学英语六级考试的翻译部分需要考生掌握词和句的翻译，将信息进行简单的一对一式的传输的话，那么现在的大学英语六级考试的翻译部分则要求考生以词、句的翻译为基础，扩大到对整体段落的翻译的把握，与之前考查的句子翻译完全不同了。

This list is an attempt to quantify the elusive but important quality of 29 in higher education—with its findings 30 the opinions of academics around the world.The fast such ranking by the Times Higher Education magazine, published last year, had the same top five as this year—with the two Boston-based 31 , Harvard and M1T, in first and second place.Cambridge was once again the highest ranking U.K. university in third place, 32 Stanford and University of California, Berkeley. But Phil Baty, editor of the Times Higher Education rankings, says there is an 33 picture of U.K. universities downwards—with fewer in the top 100 and a 34 for others including Imperial College London and University College London. "Our global reputation as the home of outstanding universities has been hit," he said.Reflecting the rise of Asian countries as the new education superpowers, there is an increasing presence for countries such as People’s Republic of China, Japan, Singapore and SouthKorea.35 its size and population, Switzerland is also seen as performing well, with three universities in the world’s top 100 universities.Such rankings published by the Times Higher Education magazine do not have an official status, but they have become an increasingly significant part of how universities market themselves to students, particularly as higher education has become more globalized.Part ⅢReading Comprehension (40 minutes) Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

The percentage of top earners in 2011 who were women was 6.2 percent, compared to 6.7percent in 2010, it said.The research on the Fortune 500 companies was 40 on data as of March 31, 2011. The slight changes in the numbers are not considered 41 significant, Catalyst said.Nevertheless, given the changes in U. S. politics, the future for women in business looks more 42 , said Ilene Lang, president and chief executive 43 of Catalyst."Overall we’re44 to see change next year," Lang said. "When we look at shareholders, decision makers, the general public, they’re looking for change. ""What they’re basically saying is, ‘Don’t give us45 of the status quo (现状). Get newSection 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 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 questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.How Marketers Target KidsA) Kids represent an important demographic to marketers because they have their own purchasing power, they influencetheir parents’ buying decisions and they are the adult consumers of the future. Industry spending on advertising to children has exploded in the past decade, increasing from a mere $100 million in 1990 to more than $2 billion in 2000.B) Parents today are willing to buy more for their kids because trends such as smaller family size, dual incomes and postponing children until later in life mean that families have more disposable income. As well, guilt can play a role in spending decisions as time-stressed parents substitute material goods for time spent with their kids. Here are some of the strategies marketers employ to target kids:Pester(纠缠)PowerC) Today’s kids have more autonomy and decision-making power within the family than in previous generations, so it follows that kids are vocal about what they want their parents to buy. "Pester power" refers to children’ ability to nag their parents into purchasing items they may not otherwise buy. Marketing to children is all about creating pester power, because advertisers know what a powerful force it can be.D) According to the 2001 marketing industry book Kidfluence, pestering or nagging can be divided into two categories —"persistence" and "importance". Persistence nagging (a plea, that is repeated over and over again) is not as effective as the more sophisticated "importance nagging". This latter method appeals to parents’ desire to pr ovide the best for their children, and plays on any guilt they may have about not having enough time for their kids.The Marriage of Psychology and MarketingE) To effectively market to children, advertisers need to know what makes kids tick. With the help of well-paid researchers and psychologists, advertisers now have access to in-depth knowledge about children’s developmental, emotional and social needs at different ages. Using research that analyzes children’s behaviour, fantasy’ lives, art work, even their dreams, companies are able to craft sophisticated marketing strategies to reach young people.F) The issue of using child psychologists to help marketers target kids gained widespread public attention in 1999, when a group of U. S. mental health professionals issued a public letter to the American Psychological Association (APA) urging them to declare the practice unethical. The APA is currently studying the issue.Building Brand Name LoyaltyG) Canadian author Naomi Klein tracks the birth of "brand" marketing in her 2000 book No Logo. According to Klein, the mid-1980s saw the birth of a new kind of corporation—Nike, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, to name a few—which changed their primary corporate focus from producing products to creating an image for their brand name. By moving their manufacturing operations to countries with cheap labour, they freed up money to create their powerful marketing messages. It has been a tremendously profitable formula, and has led to the creation of some of the most wealthy and powerful multi-national corporations the world has seen.H) Marketers plant the seeds of brand recognition in very young children, in the hopes that the seeds will grow into lifetime relationships. According to the Center for a New American Dream, babies as young as six months of age can form mental images of corporate logos and mascots. Brand loyalties can be established as early as age two, and by the time children head off to school most can recognize hundreds of brand logos. While fast food, toy and clothingcompanies have been cultivating brand recognition in children for years, adult-oriented businesses such as banks and automakers are now getting in on the act.Buzz or Street MarketingI) The challenge for marketers is to cut through the intense advertising clutter( 杂乱) in young people’s lives. Many companies are using "buzz marketing" —a new twist on the tried-and-true "word of mouth" method. The idea is to find the coolest kids in a community and have them use or wear your product in order to create a buzz around it. Buzz, or "street marketing", as it’s also called, can help a company to successfully connect with the elusive (难找的) teen market by using trendsetters to give them products "cool" status.J) Buzz marketing is particularly well-suited to the Internet, where young "Net promoters" use chat rooms and blogs to spread the word about music, clothes and other products among unsuspecting users.Commercialization in EducationK) School used to be a place where children were protected from the advertising and consumer messages that permeated their world—but not anymore. Budget shortfalls ( 亏空，差额) are forcing school boards to allow corporations access to students in exchange for badly needed cash, computers and educational materials.L) Corporations realize the power of the school environment for promoting their name and products. A school setting deliversa captive youth audience and implies the endorsement of teachers and the educational system. Marketers are eagerly exploiting this medium in a number of ways, including: 1) sponsored educational materials; 2) supplying schools with technology in exchange for high company visibility; 3) advertising posted in classrooms, school buses, on computers in exchange for funds; 4) contests and incentive programs: for example, the Pizza Hut reading incentives program in which children receive certificates for free pizza if they achieve a monthly reading goal; 5) sponsoring school events.The InternetM) The Internet is an extremely desirable medium for marketers wanting to target children. It’s part of youth culture. This generation of young people is growing up with the Internet as a daily and routine part of their lives. Kids are often online alone, without parental supervision. Unlike broadcasting media, which have codes regarding advertising to kids, the Internet is unregulated. Sophisticated technologies make it easy to collect information from young people for marketing research, and to target individual children with personalized advertising.Marketing Adult Entertainment to KidsN) Children are often aware of and want to see entertainment meant for older audiences because it is actively marketed to them. In a report released in 2000, the U. S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) revealed how the movie, music and video games industries routinely market violent entertainment to young children.O) The FTC studied 44 films rated "Restricted", and discovered that 80 per cent were targeted to children under 17. Marketing plans included TV commercials run during hours when young viewers were most likely to be watching. The FTC report also highlighted the fact that toys based on characters from mature entertainment are often marketed to young children. Mature rated video games are advertised in youth magazines; and toys based on "Restricted" movies and M-rated video games are marketed to children as young as four.46. Guilt can affect parents’ spending decisions because they don’t have enough time for theirkids.47. The Center for a New American Dream pointed out that brand loyalties could be formed as early as age two.48. School boards allow corporations to access to students because they need money and educational materials badly.49. The FTC report highlighted the fact that toys based on characters from mature entertainment are often marketed to young children.50. For this generation of young people, the Interact is a daily and routine part of their lives.51. According to Kidfluence, "persistence nagging" is less effective than the more sophisticated "importance nagging".52. According to a report released by the U. S. Federal Trade Commission, the movie, music and video games industries usually market violent entertainment to young children.53. Buzz marketing is well-suited to the Internet because the interactive environment can spread messages effectively.54. A group of U. S. mental health professionals think that it is unethical to use child psychologists to help marketers target kids.55. According to the Pizza Hut reading incentives program, children will receive certificates for free pizza if they achieve a monthly reading goal.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 and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Like most people, I’ve long underst ood that I will be judged by my occupation, that my profession is a gauge people use to see how smart or talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I’m treated as a person.Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve foodto people, I had customers say and do things to me I suspect they’d never say or do to their most casual acquaintances. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then beckoned ( ⽰意) me back with his finger a minute later, complaining he was ready to order and asking where I’d been.I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon (勤杂⼯) by plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I’d be sitting at their table, waitin g to be served.Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked—cordially.I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from an advertising sales representative with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately evident. Perhaps it was because money was involved, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me.My job title made people treat me with courtesy. So it was a shock to return to the restaurant industry.It’s no secret that there’s a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and f ortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry, by definition, exists to cater to others’ needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant.I’m now applying to graduate school, which means someday I’ll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want. I think I’ll take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose only job is to serve them.56. The author was disappointed to find that ________.A) one’s position is used as a gauge to measure one’s intelligenceB) talented people like her should fail to get a respectable jobC) one’s occupation affects the way one is treated as a personD) professionals tend to look down upon manual workers57. What does the author intend to say by the example in the second paragraph?A) Some customers simply show no respect to those who serve them.B) People absorbed in a phone conversation tend to be absent-minded.C) Waitresses are often treated by customers as casual acquaintances.D) Some customers like to make loud complaints for no reason at all.58. How did the author feel when waiting tables at the age of 19?A) She felt it unfair to be treated as a mere servant by professionals.B) She felt badly hurt when her customers regarded her as a peon.C) She was embarrassed each time her customers joked with her.D) She found it natural for professionals to treat her as inferior.59. What does the author imply by saying ". . . many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant" (Line 3, Para. 7)?A) Those who cater to others’ needs are destined to be looked down upon.B) Those work ing in the service industry shouldn’t be treated as servants.C) Those serving others have to put up with rough treatment to earn a living.D) The majority of customers tend to look on a servant as a server nowadays.60. The author says she’ll one day take her clients to dinner in order to ________.A) see what kind of person they areB) experience the feeling of being servedC) show her generosity towards people inferior to herD) arouse their sympathy for people living a humble lifePassage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.What’s hot for 2007 among the very rich? A $7.3 million diamond ring. A trip to Tanzania to hunt wild animals. Oh, and income inequality.Sure, some leftish billionaires like George Soros have been railing against income inequality for years. But increasingly, centrist and right-wing billionaires are starting to worry about income inequality and the fate of the middle class.In December, Mortimer Zuckerman wrote a column in U. S. News & World Report, which lie owns. "Our nation’s core bargain with the middle class is disintegrating, " lamented (哀叹) the117th-riehest man in America. "Most of our economic gains have gone to people at the very top of the income ladder. Average income for a household of people of working age, by contrast, has fallen five years in a row. " He noted that "Tens of millions of Americans live in fear that a major health problem can reduce them to bankruptcy. "Wilbur Ross Jr. has echoed Zuckerman’s anger over the bitter struggles faced by middle-class Americans. "It’s an outrage that any American’s life expectancy should be shortened simply because the company they worked for went bankrupt and ended health-care coverage, " said the former chairman of the International Steel Group.What’s happening? The very rich are just as trendy as you and I, and can be so when it comes to politics and policy. Given the recent change of control in Congress, the popularity of measures like increasing the minimum wage, and efforts by California’s governor to offer universal health care, these guys don’t need their own personal weathermen to know which way the wind blows.It’s possible that plutocrats (有钱有势的⼈) are expressing solidarity with the struggling middle class as part of an effort to insulate themselves from confiscatory (没收性的) tax policies. But the prospect that income inequality will lead to higher taxes on the wealthy doesn’t keep plutocrats up at night. They can live with that.No, what they fear was that the political challenges of sustaining support for global economic integration will be more difficult in the United States because of what has happened to the distribution of income and economic insecurity.In other words, if middle-class Americans continue to struggle financially as the ultrawealthy grow ever wealthier, it will be increasingly difficult to maintain political support for the free flow of goods, services, and capital across borders. And when the United States places obstacles in the way of foreign investors and foreign goods, it’s likely to encourage reciprocal action abroad. For people who buy and sell companies, or who allocate capital to markets all around the world, that’s the real nightmare.61. What is the current topic of common interest among the very rich in America?A) The fate of the ultrawealthy people.B) The disintegration of the middle class.C) The inequality in the distribution of wealth.D) The conflict between the left and the right wing.62. What do we learn from Mortimer Zuckerman’s lamentation?A) Many middle-income families have failed to make a bargain for better welfare.B) The American economic system has caused many companies to go bankrupt.C) The American nation is becoming more and more divided despite its wealth.D) The majority of Americans benefit little from the nation’s growing wealth.63. From the fifth paragraph we can learn that ________.A) the very rich are fashion-consciousB) the very rich are politically sensitiveC) universal health care is to be implemented throughout AmericaD) Congress has gained popularity by increasing the minimum wage64. What is the real reason for plutocrats to express solidarity with the middle class?A) They want to protect themselves from confiscatory taxation.B) They know that the middle class contributes most to society.C) They want to gain support for global economic integration.D) They feel increasingly threatened by economic insecurity.65. What may happen if the United States places obstacles in the way of foreign investors and foreign goods?A) The prices of imported goods will inevitably soar beyond control.B) The investors will have to make great efforts to reallocate capital.C) The wealthy will attempt to buy foreign companies across borders.D) Foreign countries will place the same economic barriers in return.Part ⅣTranslation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

大学英语六级(2013年12月考试改革适用)模拟试卷84(题后含答案及解析)

大学英语六级（2013年12月考试改革适用）模拟试卷84(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. Writing 2. Listening Comprehension 3. 4. Reading Comprehension 5. TranslationPart I Writing1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “ The early bird catches the worm.”You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.正确答案：The Early Bird Catches the Worm “The early bird catches the worm” is a proverb which all of us are familiar with. I fully agree with it, and in my mind, the proverb can be justified in three respects. First, it takes time to accomplish a task—if you act earlier, you are more likely to reach your goal earlier. Otherwise you can never be sure of your success. Second, when diligence becomes a habit, nothing will be too difficult to a persevering person. For example, you will never feel bored or tired with doing social investigation if you really love it and are determined to do it well. Third, looking at the matter from another perspective, we will find that social resources are always limited and opportunities are always reserved for those who prepare well. As people are almost equally smart, diligence seems more than necessary for a person who aims to succeed. Besides, competition becomes more and more fierce in modern society, so we should realize it is important to begin earlier.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文：W: How will you spend your summer vacation?M: At first I thought I’d go to Canada for vacation, but after a careful thought, I decided to stay at school and find an odd job to earn some money. Q: What is the man going to do during the vacation?2．A．He will go to Canada for vacation.B．He will just stay at home.C．He will do some temporary job to earn some money.D．He will do nothing during vacation.正确答案：C解析：女士询问男士将怎样过暑假，男士说一开始他想去加拿大，但再三考虑后他决定在学校里找个临时工作赚些钱。

Everyone has a different definition to the true meaning of happiness. For Franklin Roosevelt, “happiness is not themere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.” For Elbert Einstein, “if you want to live in a happy life, tie it to the goal, not the people or the things.” Al though the two great men grant different definitions to happiness, there is something in common, that is, happiness derives from the capacity to solve problems. I believe that this is true.There is no denying that life is full of problems. Let’s take en vironmental pollution for example. Pollution poses a great threat to our existence. Fortunately, this public hazard has drawn our greatly attention and many effective measures are being taking to solve it. In fact, now the public are benefiting more and more from pollution prevention and control. We can enjoy clear air, health food and beautiful scenes again. Isn’t this happiness?All in all, indeed, equipped with the ability to cope withproblems should suppose to be happiness. In other worlds, in the middle of problems lies happiness.【参考译文】解决问题，品味幸福“何为幸福?”这是一个老生常谈的话题。

2013年12月英语六级翻译答案及点评：中国园林

2013年12月英语六级翻译答案及点评：中国园林【翻译原文】中国园林是经过三千多年演变而成的独具一格的园林景观。

它既包括为皇室成员享乐而建造的大型花园，也包括学者、商人和卸任的政府官员为摆脱嘈杂的外部世界而建造的私家花园。

这些花园构成了一种意在表达人与自然之间应有的和谐关系的微缩景观。

典型的中国园林四周有围墙，园内有池塘、假山、树木、花草以及各种各样由蜿蜒的小路和走廊连接的建筑。

漫步在花园中，人们可以看到一系列精心设计的景观犹如山水画卷一般展现在面前。

【参考译文】After 3,000 years of evolvement, Chinese gardens have become a unique landscape. This includes both large gardens built as entertainment venues for royal family, and private gardens built as secluded retreats for scholars, merchants and retired government officials. These gardens have constituted a miniature that is designed in praise of the harmony between man and nature. A typical Chinese garden is surrounded by walls and consists of various buildings linked by winding trails and corridors, with ponds, rockeries, trees, and flowers scattered in it. Wandering in such a well-designed garden, people may feel that they are walking in a landscape painting.【翻译点评】六级翻译改革后，需要考生增加对中国传统文化这一话题的多多关注，本文选取中国园林为主题，难度有些大，且不少地方如直接采用直译会显得生硬，所以建议考生在理解原文的基础上增加意译的使用。

2013年12月六级翻译真题点评

2013年12月六级翻译真题点评作者：张曦来源：《新东方英语》2014年第06期与四级考试相比，2013年12月六级考试汉译英题型在多套试卷中的主题同样涉及中国传统文化，包括丝绸之路、中国园林、中秋节等。

但六级汉译英对考生的要求更高一些，考生必须熟练运用各种翻译技巧，才能忠实顺畅地还原原文的信息。

下面笔者以此次六级汉译英真题为例，讲解如何在翻译中恰当地运用翻译技巧，并给出完整的真题和参考译文，希望对即将参加六级考试的考生有所启发。

翻译技巧讲解1. 重复现象的处理汉语中存在较多的重复现象。

为了表达得更清晰、生动，汉语经常采用原词复现的形式。

而在同样的语境中，英语则倾向于省略或变化，不用重复的词语或结构来表达相同的意思。

汉译英时，为了使译文符合英语的表达习惯，不至于产生重复、累赘之感，考生需要采用合乎英语表达习惯的省略和替代等方式，对汉语的重复信息做相应处理，以使译文自然、流畅。

闻名于世的丝绸之路是一系列连接东西方的路线。

丝绸之路延伸6，000多公里，得名于古代中国的丝绸贸易。

丝绸之路上的贸易在中国、南亚、欧洲和中东文明发展中发挥了重要作用。

参考译文：The world-renowned Silk Road was a series of routes that connect the east and the west. It extended more than 6，000 kilometers. The Road was named after ancient China’s silk trade， which played an important role in the development of civilization in China， South Asia，Europe and the Middle East.点评：原文中多次出现“丝绸之路”，甚至在连续的三句话中重复出现，如果考生重复将其译成the Silk Road，译文会显得拖沓。

翻译： 2013年12月前的六级考试翻译题型是短句翻译，而且给出了一半信息，考察点是重点语法像倒装，虚拟语气，和重点词组等。分值是每题一分。貌似简单，但这部分得分并不高。
原因：翻译是最后一个题目，时间紧张，匆匆写上几笔；另外分值低，没有引起足够的重视。

2013年12月英语六级真题答案完整版

2013年12月英语六级真题答案完整版[1] 作文及阅读部分[2] 阅读及翻译部分作文部分范文一： Happiness – Go for itIn this long journey we call "life", everybody is in pursuit of happiness and has their own interpretation of happiness. An inspiring idea is that happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them, which reveals the very truth about happiness. It cannot be achieved through waiting, but only through striving.There is no way that life always progresses as we wish. Problems may occur and we find ourselves in trouble, but it doesn't mean we are deprived of happiness. There are numerous examples for us to follow: disabled people overcoming obstacles, patients fighting against disease, poverty-stricken people achieving their dreams -- all these inspiring heroes. Their lives are definitely not problem-free, but they have found happiness by courageously solving problems.Therefore, it is essential to develop the ability to deal with problems. We need to muster our courage and confidence to face the fact. Meanwhile, we need to find effective ways to cope with them.In a word, if we stay strong and approach problems effectively, there will be no storm in life that we cannot weather. And after the storm, happiness is within our reach.范文二： Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” You can give examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you will do to make your life more meaningful. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.How to Live a Meaning LifeAmong all the h ighlighted topics, there is “how to live a meaning life?” Everyone has his or her own opinion. As the saying has it, “the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” I cannot agree any more.If our life is just to pursue something for ourselves, we will surely feel fruitless and meaningless when we grow old. From Steve Jobs’s bibliography, we can get that the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones whodo. Steve Jobs has brought a great many changes to our world. His life, although short, definitely outlast. That’s a life worth living.Therefore, if there is a way to make my life meaningful, it should be to find something I’m interested in and also helpful to others or the whole society. Only i n this way can I keep my passion throughout my life until I finally fulfil my life.范文三： For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay about the impact of information explosion by referring to the saying "a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention". You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.Ways to Get Over Information ExplosionA s a famous saying goes, “A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention”. Nowadays we are in the Information Age. Some people keep complaining about distraction by the information explosion.Admittedly, the new information age has brought us so much convenience that we are allowed to get enough information just with a simple click sitting in front of the computers. Nevertheless, we are also confused, annoyed, distracted and upset by an incredibly large quantity of information. For example, when searching for something online, people are easily carried away by irrelevant information and forget their original plan. Besides, some information often turns out to be useless and actually advertisement. Therefore, it can be time-consuming and troublesome to search information online.Then what we can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? Here I have some useful tips: Firstly, make a list of what you really want before your searching. This will help you to refuse some appealing, yet irrelevant information. Secondly, find some trustful and professional sources or websites and then save and categorize them. In this case, you can easily leave some ads and useless information behind.听力部分1. 答案：D) Their hard work has resulted in a big success.2. 答案：B) Join a package tour to Mexico.3. 答案：B) In case some problem should occur.4. 答案：C) The man can try out the facilities before he becomes a member.5. 答案：A) He is not fit to study science.6. 答案：C) Pay for part of the picnic food.7. 答案：A) A labor dispute at a bus company.8. 答案：D) The payment for an order.9.

Although these educators may have good (36) intentions, their advice to families is misguided, and it (37) stemsfrom misunderstandings about the process of language acquisition. Educators may fear that children hearing two languages will become (38) permanentlyconfused and thus their language development will be (39) delayed; this concern is not documented in the literature. Children are capable of learning more than one language, whether (40) simultaneouslyor sequentially(依次地). In fact, most children outside of the United States are expected to become bilingual or even, in many cases, multilingual. Globally, knowing more than one language is viewed as an (41) assetand even a necessity in many areas.It is also of concern that the misguided advice that students should speak only English is given primarily to poor families with limited educational opportunities, not to wealthier families who have many educational advantages. Since children from poor families often are (42) identified as at-risk for academic failure, teachers believe that advising families to speak English only is appropriate. Teachers consider learning two languages to be too (43) overwhelming for children from poor families, believing that the children are already burdened by their home situations.If families do not know English or have limited English skills themselves, how can theycommunicate in English? Advising non-English-speaking families to speak only English is (44) equivalent to telling them not to communicate with or interact with their children. Moreover, the (45) underlying message is that the family’s native language is not important or valued.【阅读匹配文章点评】本文涉及近年来较热的话题“第二外语习得”及“幼儿早教”，批判了一些所谓“教育专家”教育幼儿学习英语的方式，说明要求家长不说母语，只说英语的教育方式并不科学。

C., where lawyer-morns are thick on the ground.Her son Doug is one of several hundred thousand high-school seniors who had a painful fall. Thedeadline for applying to his favorite college was Nov.1, and by early October he had yet to fill outthe application. More to the point, he had yet to settle on a subject for the personal essayaccompanying the application. According to college folklore, awell-turned essay has the power toseduce (诱惑) an admissions committee. "He wanted to do one thing at a time," Meg says,explaining her son's delay. "But really, my son is a huge procrastinator (拖延者). The essay is thehardest thing to do, so he's put it off the longest. " Friends and other veterans of the process havewarned Meg that the back and forth between editing parent and writing student can be traumatic ( 痛苦的).[B] Back in the good old days--say, two years ago, when the last of my children suffered the ordea/( 折磨)--a high-school student applying to college could procrastinate all the way to New Year's Day oftheir senior year, assuming they could withstand the parental pestering (烦扰). But things changefast in thenail-biting world of college admissions. The recent trend toward early decision and earlyaction among selective colleges and universities has pushed the traditional deadline ofJanuary up toNov.1 or early December for many students.[C]If the time for heel-dragging has been shortened, the true source of the anxiety and panicremainswhat it has always been. And it's not the application itself. A college application is a relativelystraightforward questionnaire asking for the basics: name, address, family history, employmenthistory. It would all be innocent enough--20 minutes of busy work--except it comes attached to apersonal essay.[D]"There are good reasons it causes such anxiety," says Lisa Sohmer, director of collegecounseling atthe Garden School in Jackson Heights, N.Y. "It's not just the actual writing. By now everything elseis already set. Your course load is set, your grades are set, your test scores are set. But the essay issomething you can still control, and it's open-ended. So the temptation is to write and rewrite andrewrite. " Or stall and stall and stall.[E]The application essay, along with its mythical importance, is a recent invention. In the 1930s,whenonly one in 10 Americans had a degree from a four-year college, an admissions committee wascontent to ask for a sample of applicants' school papers to assess their writing ability. By the 1950s,most schools required a brief personal statement of why the student had chosen to apply to oneschool over another.[F] Today nearly 70 percent of graduating seniors go off to college, including two-year and fouryeariustitutions. Even ap .art from the increased competition, the kids enter a process that has been utterlytransformed from the one baby boomers knew. Nearly all application materials are submitted online,and the Common Application provides a one-size-fits form accepted by more than 400 schools,including the nation's most selective.[G]Those schools usually require essays of their own, but the longest essay,500 words maximum,isgenerally attached to the Common Application. Students choose one of six questions. Applicants areasked to describe an ethical dilemma they've faced and its impact on them, or discuss a public issueof special concern to them, or tell of a fictional character or creative work that has profoundlyinfluenced them. Another question invites them to write about theimportance (to them, again) ofdiversity -- a word that has assumed magic power in American higher education. The most popularoption: write on a topic of your choice.[H]“Boys in particular look at the other questions and say, ' Oh, that's too much work, ’ ” saysJohnBoshoven, a counselor in the Ann Arbor, Mich., public schools. "They think if they do a topic oftheir choice, ' I'll just go get that history paper I did last year on the Roman Empire and turn it into afirst-person application essay! ' And they end up producing something utterly ridiculous. "[I]Talking to admissions professionals like Boshoven, you realize that the list of "don'ts" inessaywriting is much longer than the "dos. ”“No book reports, no history papers, no character studies,"says Sohmer.[J]"It drives you crazy, how easily kids slip into cliches ( 老生常谈) ," says Boshoven. "Theydon'trealize how typical their experiences are. 'I scored the winning goal in soccer against our arch-rival. ’‘ My grandfather served in World War H, and I hope to be just like him someday.That maymean a lot to that particular kid. But in the world of the application essay, it's nothing.You'll losethe reader in the first paragraph. "[K]"The greatest strength you bring to this essay," says the College Board's how-to book, "is 17 years or so of familiarity with the topic: YOU. The form and style are very familiar, and best of all, you arethe world-class expert on the subject of YOU... It has been the subject of your close scrutiny everymorning since you were tall enough to see into the bathroom mirror. " The key word in the CommonApplication prompts is "you. "[L]The college admission essay contains the grandest American themes--status anxiety, parentalpiety(孝顺), intellectual standards--and so it is only a matter of time before it becomes infected by thecountry's culture of excessive concern with self-esteem. Even if the question is ostensibly ( 表面上)about something outside the self ( describe a fictional character or solve a problem of geopolitics),the essay invariably returns to the favorite topic: what is its impact on YOU?[M]"For all the anxiety the essay causes," says Bill McClintick of Mercersburg AcademyinPennsylvania, "it's a very small piece of the puzzle. I was in college admissions for 10 years. I sawldds and parents beat themselves up over this.And at the vast majority of places, it is simply not abig variable in the college's decision-making process. "[ N] Many admissions officers say they spend less than a couple of minutes on each application, includingthe essay. According to a recent survey of admissions officers, only one in four private colleges saythe essay is of "considerable importance" in judging an application. Among public colleges anduniversities, the number drops to roughly one in 10. By contrast,86 percent place"considerableimportance" on an applicant's grades,70 percent on "strength of curriculum. "[O] Still, at the most selective schools, where thousands of candidates may submit identically high gradesand test scores, a marginal item like the essay may serve as a tie-breaker between two equallyqualified candidates. The thought is certainly enough to keep the pot boiling under parents like Meg,the lawyer-mom, as she tries to help her son choose an essay topic. For a moment the other day, shethought she might have hit on a good one. "His father's from France," she says. "I said maybe youcould write about that, as something that makes you different. You know；half French, halfAmerican. I said, ' You could write about your identity issues. ' He said, ' I don't have any identityissues!' And he's right. He's a well-adjnsted， normal kid. But that doesn't make for a good essay,does it?" 47Today many universities require their applicants to write an essay of up to five hundred words.48．One recent change in college admissions is that selective colleges and universities have moved the traditional deadline to earlier dates.49．Applicants and their parents are said to believe that the personal essay can sway the admissions committee.50．Applicants are usually better off if they can write an essay that distinguishes them from the rest.51．Not only is the competition getting more intense, the application process today is also totally different from what baby boomers knew.52．In writing about their own experiences many applicants slip into cliches, thus falling to engage the reader.53．According to a recent survey, most public colleges and universities consider an applicant's grades highly important.54．Although the application essay causes lots of anxiety, it does not play so important a role in thecollege's decision-making process.55．The question you are supposed to write about may seem outside the self, but the theme of the essay should center around its impact on you.56．In the old days, applicants only had to submit a sample of their school papers to show their writing ability.根据下列材料，回答57-61题Among the government's most interesting reports is one that estimates what parents spend on theirchildren. Not surprisingly, the costs are steep. For a middle-class, hnsband-and-wife family (averagepretax income in 2009: $76,250), spending per child is about $12,000 a year. With inflation the family's spending on a child will total $ 286,050 by age 17.The dry statistics ought to inform the ongoing deficit debate, because a budget is not just a catalog ofprograms and taxes. It reflects a society's priorities and values. Our society does not-despite rhetoric(说辞) to the contrary--put much value on raising children. Present bridget policies tax parents heavily tosupport the elderly. Meanwhile, tax breaks for children are modest. If deficit reduction aggravates thesebiases, more Americans may choose not to have children or to have fewer children. Down that path lieseconomic decline.Societies that cannot replace their populations discourage investment and innovation. They havestagnant (萧条的) or shrinking markets for goods and services. With older populations, they resistchange. To stabilize its population--discounting immigration--women must have an average of twochildren. That's a fertility rate of 2.0. Many countries with struggling economies are well below that.Though having a child is a deeply personal decision, it's shaped by culture, religion, economics, andgovernment policy. "No one has a good answer" as to why fertility varies among countries, sayssociologist Andrew Cherlin of The Johns Hopkins University. Eroding religious belief in Europe may partlyexplain lowered birthrates. In Japan young women may be rebelling against their mothers' isolated lives ofchild rearing. General optimism and pessimism count. Hopefulness fueled America's baby boom. After theSoviet Union's collapse, saysCherlin, "anxiety for the future" depressed birthrates in Russia and EasternEurope.In poor societies, people have children to improve their economicwell-being by increasing thenumber of family workers and providing support for parents in their old age. In wealthy societies, the logicoften reverses. Govenunent now supports the elderly, diminishing the need for children. By some studies,the safety nets for retirees have reduced fertility rates by 0.5 children in the United States and almost 1.0in Western Europe, reports economist Robert Stein in the journal National Affairs. Similarly, somecouples don't have children because they don't want to sacrifice their own lifestyles to the time andexpense of a family.Young Americans already face a bleak labor market that cannot instill (注入) confidence abouthaving children. Piling on higher taxes won't help, "If higher taxes make it more expensive to raisechildren," says Nicholas Eberstadt of the American Enterprise Institute, "people will think twice abouthaving another child. " That seems like common sense, despite the multiple influences on becomingparents.57．What do we learn from the government report?A. Inflation increases families' expenses.B.Raising children is getting expensive.C.Budget reduction is around the corner.D.Average family expenditure is increasing.58．What is said to be the consequence of a shrinking population?A. Weakened national strength.B.Increased immigration.C.Economic downturn.D.Social instability.59．What accounted for America's baby boom?A. Optimism for the future.B.Improved living conditions.C.Religious beliefs.D.Economic prosperity.60．Why do people in wealthy countries prefer to have fewer children?A. They want to further improve their economic well-being.B. They cannot afford the time and expenses of rearing children.C. They are concerned about the future of the coming generation.D. They don't rely on their children to support them in old age.61．What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To instill confidence in the young about raising children.B. To advise couples to think twice before having children.C.To encourage the young to take care of the elderly.D.To appeal for tax reduction for raising children.Questions 62-66are based on the following passage.Space exploration has always been the province of dreamers: The human imagination readily soarswhere human ingenuity (创造力) struggles to follow.A Voyage to the Moon, often cited as the firstscience fiction story, was written by Cyrano de Bergerac in 1649. Cyrano was dead and buried for a goodthree centuries before the first manned rockets started to fly.In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America would send a man to the moon by thedecade's end, those words, too, had a dreamlike quality. They resonated (共鸣) with optimism and ambition in much the same way as the most famous dream speech of all, delivered by Martin Luther KingJr. two years later. By the end of the decade, both visions had yielded concrete results and transformedAmerican society. And yet in many ways the two dreams ended up at odds with each other.The fight forracial and economic equality is intensely pragmatic (讲求实用的) and immediate in its impact. The urgeto explore space is just the opposite, It is figuratively and literally otherworldly in its aims. When the dust settled, the space dreamers lost out. There was no grand follow-up to the Apollomissions. The technologically compromised space shuttle program has just come to an end, with nosuccessor. The perpetual argument is that funds are tight, that we have more pressing problems here onEarth. Amid the current concerns about the federal deficit, reaching toward the stars seems a dispensableluxury--as if saving one-thousandth of a single year's budget would solve our problems. But human ingenuity struggles on. NASA is developing a series of robotic probes that will get the mostbang from a buck. They will serve as modern Magellans, mapping out the solar system for whateverexplorers follow, whether man or machine. On the flip side, companies like Virgin Galactic are plotting abottom-up assault on the space dream by making it a reality to the public. Private spaceflight could liewithin reach of rich civilians in a few years. Another decade or two and it could go mainstream.The space dreamers end up benefiting all of us--not just because of the way they expand human knowledge, or because of the spin-off technologies they produce, but because the two types of dreamsfeed off each other. Both Martin Luther King and John Kennedy appealed to the idea that humans cantranscend what were once considered inherent limitations. Today we face seeming challenges in energy,the environment, health care. Tomorrow we will transcend these as well, and the dreamers will deserve alot of the credit. The more evidence we collect that our species is capable of greatness, the more we willactually achieve it.62．The author mentions Cyrano de Bergerac in order to show that__________ A. imagination is the mother of inventionB.ingenuity is essential for science fiction writersC.it takes patience for humans to realize their dreamsD.dreamers have always been interested in science fiction63．How did the general public view Kennedy's space exploration plan? A.It symbolized the American spirit.B. It was as urgent as racial equality.C.It sounded very much like a dream.D.It made an ancient dream come true.64．What does the author say about America's aim to explore space?A. It may not bring about immediate economic gains.B. It cannot be realized without technological innovation.C.It will not help the realization of racial and economic equality.D.It cannot be achieved without a good knowledge of the other worlds.65．What is the author's attitude toward space programs?A. Critical.B.Reserved.C.Unbiased.D.Supportive.66．What does the author think of the problems facing human beings?A. They pose a serious challenge to future human existence.B. They can be solved sooner or later with human ingenuity.C.Their solutions need joint efforts of the public and private sectors.D.They can only be solved by people with optimism and ambition.四、翻译(共1题，合计15分)67．中国园林(the Chinese garden)是经过三千多年演变丽成的独具一格的园林景观(1andscape)。

The small community of North Haven on Long Island is home to some six hundred to seven hundred deer. The depart ment of Environmental Conservation estimates the optimum population at 60. The to wn has been browsed bare of vegetation except where gardens and shrubs are protecte d by high fences.Drivers routinely collide with deer and there are so many dead bodies left by the side of the road that the town has made it a deal with a local pet cemetery to collect and dis pose of the bodies. Some people in the town have become ill from deer transmitted dis eases. On the occasions when hunting has been tried, local animal rights people have worked to secure court orders against the hunts. And when that is failed, they stop the hunters, banging on pots and pans to alert the deer. Town meetings called to discuss th e problem inevitably dissolved into confrontations.The activists believe simply that the deer are not the problem. Somecommunities have even discussed the possibility of bringing wolves back into the ecol ogical mix. That means wolves in the suburbs of New York. It is almost too wonderful not to try it. The wolves would kill deer of course. They would alsoterrorize and kill dogs and cats which is not what the suburban dwellers have in mind.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard Q16. What do we lea rn about white-tailed deer in North Haven? Q17. Why do local animal rights people b ang on pots and pans?Q18. What would happen if wolves were brought back into the ecological mix? 听力填空原文It’s difficult to estimate the number of youngsters involved in home schooling where chi ldren are not sent to school and receive their formal education from one or both parent s. Legislation and court decisions have made it legally possible in most states for pare nts to educate their children at home and each year more people take advantage of that opportunity.Some states require parents or a home tutor to meet teacher certification standards, an d many require parents to complete legal forms to verify that their children are receivi ng instruction in state approved curriculum.Supporters of home education claim that it is less expensive and far more efficient tha n mass public education. Moreover they site several advantages: alleviation of school overcrowding, strengthen family relationships, lower dropout rates, the facts that stud ents are allowed to learn at their own rate, increased motivation, higher standardized t est scores, and reduced discipline problems.Critics of the home schooling movement content that it creates as many problems as it solves. They acknowledge that, in a few cases, home schooling offers educational op portunities superior to those found in most public schools, but few parents can provide such educational advantages. Some parents who withdraw their children from the sch ools in favor of home schooling have an inadequate educational background and insuf ficient formal training to provide a satisfactory education for their children. Typically, parents have fewer technological resources at their disposal than do schools. However , the relatively inexpensive computer technology that is readily available today is causing some to challenge the notion that home schooling is in any way inferior to more hi ghly structured classroom education. 【选词填空部分答案】 36 intentions 37 stems 38 permanently 39 delayed 40 simultaneously 41 asset 42 identified 43overwhelming 44 equivalent 45 underlying 【原文】Quite often, educators tell families of children who are learning English as a second la nguage to speak only English, and not their native language, at home.

以下是大学英语六级考试翻译部分的大纲样题：中国新年是中国最重要的传统节日，在中国也被称为春节。

新年的庆祝活动从除夕开始一直延续到元宵节（the Lantern Festival），即从农历（lunar calendar）最后一个月的最后一天至新年第一个月的第十五天。

各地欢度春节的习俗和传统有很大差异，但通常每个家庭都会在除夕夜团聚，一起吃年夜饭。

为驱厄运、迎好运，家家户户都会进行大扫除。

人们还会在门上粘贴红色的对联（couplets），对联的主题为健康、发财和好运。

其他的活动还有放鞭炮、发红包和探访亲友等。

其次，长句也较多，考生要想把它翻译准确、通顺，不仅需要单词量和单词拼写过关，还需要掌握语法，分析句子成分，学会中英文转换的技巧。

第二部分：翻译技巧为了帮助广大考生从容应对翻译题型，我们将分别从词、句的翻译角度进行分析，帮助考生掌握翻译技巧和要点。

（一）词的翻译1.词义选择所谓词义选择，是指词本来就有这个意思，问题是要我们将其在特定场合的正确意思选出来。

正确选词是保证译文质量的重要环节，如果能做到在词语意义和字面形式上都对等当然最好，如果不能兼顾，则取意义，舍形式。

越是普通的词，越是拥有繁多的释义和搭配，翻译过程中的词义也就越难以确定。

选词时，要注意词义的广狭、所处的语境、词义的褒贬和感情色彩。

Eg1: 【原文】但通常每个家庭都会在除夕夜团聚，一起吃年夜饭。

【译文】However, New Year’s Eve is usually an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner.【分析】“年夜饭”此处实际就是每年一度的团圆饭，为了让译文更符合英语国家的习惯，这里用的是annual reunion dinner，理解起来更容易。

Eg2: 【原文】人们还会在门上粘贴红色的对联（couplets）……【译文】And doors will be decorated with red couplets...【分析】原文中“粘贴”的意思其实就是用对联装饰门窗，如果直译的话表达不出真实的意图，因此这里用了“decorate”，表意更直接。

2.词类转换词类转换是汉译英常用的一种手段。

汉语的动态性和具体性特点使其在语言运用上多用动词。

英语则因其静态性和抽象性特点而在语言使用上呈现出名词化和介词化倾向。

在汉译英过程中，适当转换词性，可以使译文更符合英语表达习惯。

(1)动词→名词汉语中动词使用比较频繁，而且动词既没有时态变化的约束，也没有谓语动词和非谓语动词的形式之分，动词甚至可以充当句子的各种成分。

相反，英语动词的使用受到形态变化规则的严格限制。

一个句子往往只有一个谓语动词，大量原来应该由动词表达的概念，常需借助于名词，因为名词比较不受形态规则变化的束缚，使用相对灵活、方便。

各地欢度春节的习俗和传统有很大差异。

【译文】 Customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese New Year vary widely from place to place.【分析】原句中“欢度”是动词，但是如果译文中也用动词来表达，则整个句子的结构显得罗嗦，不够整洁，所以译文中用了“celebration”来表达，使得整个句子更匀称、清晰。

(2)动词→介词介词与名词密切相关，英语名词的广泛使用使得介词也得以频繁出现。

而且英语中有些介词本身是由动词演变而来的，具有动词的特征。

因此，汉译英时，有些动词可以用介词来表达。

但通常每个家庭都会在除夕夜团聚，一起吃年夜饭。

【译文】However, New Year’s Eve is usually an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner.(3)动词→形容词汉语的一些动词也常常可以用英语的形容词来表达，这些形容词通常是与动词同源的词，这样的译文有时比直接使用动词更地道、标准。

）特别流行。

【译文】It was widespread particularly during the Ming and Qing dynasties.(4)形容词或副词→名词由于语法结构和修辞的需要，汉语的形容词和副词也可以转译成英语的名词。

……只有这些生灵自由自在地享受着这个黄昏。

【译文】 ...leaving these living things to enjoy this moment of dusk with full ease and freedom.(5)名词→动词有些情况下，汉语的名词由英语的动词表达，此时汉语中修饰名词的形容词也随之改为英语中作状语使用的副词。

各地欢度春节的习俗和传统有很大差异。

【译文】Customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese New Year vary widely from place to place.【分析】原文中“差异”为名词，为了符合英文的表达习惯，译文中转换为了动词“vary”,原文中修饰“差异”一词的形容词“很大”转换为了副词“widely”，使译文更生动。

3.词的增补（1）语法需要由于汉英两种语言的差异，汉译英时往往需要补充汉语里省去的词语或没有的词类，以使译文符合英语语法的要求。

增词译法在汉译英中实际上是添加原文为了语言简洁而省去的成分，增补的词多为冠词（英语所特有）、代词或名词（充当句子的主语、宾语、定语等成分）、连词和介词等。

Eg: 【原文】但通常每个家庭都会在除夕夜团聚，一起吃年夜饭。

【译文】However, New Year’s Eve is usually an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner.【分析】英语中用得最多的介词有at，by，for，from，in，of，on，to和with 九个。

这些介词是连接英语句子的重要纽带，在英语中起着极其重要的作用。

汉译英时，要根据上下文搭配灵活地选择介词。

另外，译文中增译“an occasion”来解释说明“除夕夜”的作用，使得除夕夜的作用更加突出，彰显了中国人对于除夕夜的重视。

（2）意思表达需要Eg: 【原文】这是黄河滩上的一幕。

【译文】This is a scene taking place on the shore of the Yellow River.【分析】在翻译“这是黄河滩上的一幕”时，增译taking place短语，使译文表达更为生动贴切。

（3）文化背景解释的需要中西文化差异的存在使得英语和汉语包含着许多文化色彩浓厚且不易为译文读者所理解的词语。

因此，在翻译过程中需要使用增词译法，把相关文化背景知识翻译出来。

Eg: 【原文】三个臭皮匠，胜过诸葛亮。

【译文】The wit of three cobblers combined surpasses that of Zhuge Liang，the master mind.4.词的减省所谓词的减省，就是翻译时，把原文中一些仅仅为了语法上的需要而存在的词、词组加以适当省略，从而达到译文通顺、意思完整而句子精练的目的。

汉语中重复的部分可以是主语、谓语、宾语、表语、定语等，在译成英语时需适当删减，以保持句子的通畅。

Eg: 【原文】为驱厄运、迎好运，家家户户都会进行大扫除。

【译文】It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly clean the house in order to sweep away ill fortune and bring in good luck.【分析】删减了原句中的“进行”一词。

5.词的替代重复是汉语常用的一种语篇衔接手段，虽然英语中也用重复，但多是利用词语的重复来体现语义强调或进行语言润饰。

汉语以重复见长，英语则以省略见长。

故而在汉译英时，可采用替代的方法来避免重复。

在英语中主要有三种替代现象：名词成分替代、谓语成分替代和分句替代。

（二）句的翻译汉语造句以名词为重心，以词组、散句和分句为手段，习惯按照时间、逻辑顺序进行横排式表述，其内部逻辑关系“含而不露”，甚至断句不严，外形松散，因此汉语常被称为时间型的动态结构，主要体现为形式自由、富于弹性。

而英语则以“主——谓”的主干结构为中心来统领各语言成分，句界分明，外形严谨。

因此在汉译英时，译文在逻辑和形式上都应当体现出英语的特点。

如果是单句，首先应当确立句子的主干及句型，如果是复杂的句子或长句，则需要确立中心，根据上下文进行句子组合，可以译为并列句、主从复合句（名词性从句、定语从句、状语从句等）、并列复合句在汉译英时，不管汉语句子如何复杂，首先要考虑英语的基本组句框架。

这些最基本的框架可以变换，可以组合，但不能突破。

组织英语句子时，始终不能脱离“主——谓”主干这一总的框架，然后再进行相应的时态变化、语态变化、语气变化、句式转换（肯定式、否定式、疑问式、强调句式及倒装句式等），增加定语、状语修饰成分、插入语等。

比如，第二句“新年的庆祝活动从除夕开始一直延续到元宵节（the Lantern Festival），即从农历（lunar calendar）最后一个月的最后一天至新年第一个月的第十五天。

”中文原文句子较长，翻译成英文时要将主干分离出来。

本句的主干是“庆祝活动从除夕开始一直延续到元宵节”，用“run from...to...”来表达，是一个主谓结构的句子。

在抓出主干之后，还需要把句子里面的其他成分分别转换成英文里面的状语、定语、同位语等成分，将“农历最后一个月的最后一天”和“新年汉语的定语常放在中心语前；而英语的定语位置分两种：前置和后置。
