英语阅读理解带翻译Decoding the Secrets of Ancient Egyptian HieroglyphsHieroglyphs are an ancient writing system used by the Egyptians thousands of years ago. These pictorial symbols were carved into stone walls or written on papyrus scrolls. For centuries, hieroglyphs remained a mystery to archaeologists and historians, as their meaning and pronunciation was lost over time. However, in 1799, a discovery made by a French soldier paved the way for the decipherment of hieroglyphs.During the French campaign in Egypt, a soldier named Pierre-Francois Bouchard found the Rosetta Stone, a large rock inscribed with three scripts: Greek, hieratic, and demotic. The Greek inscription provided the key to understanding hieroglyphs. This monumental discovery allowed scholars to eventually decipher the hieroglyphic system.The English linguist and Egyptologist Jean-Francois Champollion played a crucial role in deciphering hieroglyphs. Using the Rosetta Stone as a guide, he focused on the Greek text and compared it to the hieroglyphs. He realized that certain hieroglyphs corresponded to the sounds of Greek words. By connecting the ancient Egyptian writing system to a known language, Champollion was able to unlock the secrets of hieroglyphs and bring ancient Egyptian history to life.Hieroglyphs are a complex writing system with over 700 different symbols. They can represent objects, concepts, or sounds. Some symbols are phonetic, representing the sounds of the Egyptianlanguage. Others are logographic, representing complete words or phrases. Additionally, there are determinative hieroglyphs that provide context and clarify the meaning of other symbols.Unlocking the meaning of hieroglyphs has allowed historians to gain a deeper understanding of the ancient Egyptians. Through these symbols, we now know about their religious beliefs, daily life, and communication methods. Hieroglyphs have also revealed valuable information about Egypt's rich history, including the reign of pharaohs, the construction of pyramids, and the role of women in society.Learning to read hieroglyphs is like solving a puzzle. Each symbol has its own meaning, but together, they form a coherent message. It requires careful observation and knowledge of grammar and vocabulary. Today, many universities offer courses in Egyptology that teach the basics of hieroglyphs.Deciphering hieroglyphs has brought the past back to life. It has allowed us to discover and appreciate the wonders of ancient Egypt. Through the efforts of archaeologists, historians, and linguists, we can now understand the remarkable civilization that existed thousands of years ago.对古埃及象形文字的解密古埃及象形文字是数千年前埃及人使用的古老书写系统。

2023高考英语全国乙卷C篇阅读理解翻译及解析 (2)

2023高考英语全国乙卷D篇阅读理解翻译及解析If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Wri ting is one of humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook’s voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain’s record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all ofwhom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact (联系) between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects.12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. How past events should be presented.B. What humanity is concerned about.C. Whether facts speak louder than words.D. Why written language is reliable.13. What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in paragraph 2?A. His report was scientific.B. He represented the local people.C. He ruled over Botany Bay.D. His record was one-sided.14. What does the underlined word “conversation” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Problem.B. History.C. V oice.D. Society.15. Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from?A. How Maps Tell Stories of the WorldB. A Short History of AustraliaC. A History of the World in 100 ObjectsD. How Art Works Tell Stories如果你想讲述整个世界的历史,一段不赋予人类一部分特权的历史,你不能只通过文本来讲述,因为世界上只有一些地区有文本,而世界上大多数地区在大多数时候都没有。

V. Reading Comprehension (15%)AIt was 3.21 a. m. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the crackling (爆裂声)of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin, Long Island.With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each on through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, collapsed on the lawn.The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother's room. He found it impossible to wake her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and, as a fireman said later, "acted with all the self-control of a trained adult."On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground flo or?Grasping firmly a ball of string from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother's room. Tying one end of the string to her hand he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the ga rden.Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan :"The string will lead you to mother." Mrs. Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.71.Why did Glenn run downstairs first?A.He wanted to find out what was happening. B.He was worried about his mother's safety.C.He wanted to save his sister and brother.D.He went to see if his father had come back.72.Who called the fire brigade and ambulance service?A.Glenn. B.Glenn's father. C.Glenn's sister. D.Glenn's neighbor.73.What did Glenn do to protect himself?A.He put a wet cloth around his head.B.He threw water all over himself. C.He hid himself in the bathroom.D.He rushed out to the lawn.74.Glenn saved his family because __________.A.his father had taught him to do so on the phone B.he had learned something about first aidC.he had dealt with the emergency calmly and wisely D.he had followed his mother's instructionBThere are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear powe r (原子能).First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station.Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail, Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas. Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes nonradioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buri ed under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.Third, there may occur the danger of a leak (泄漏) or an explosion at the power s tation. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. However, it can happen.Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster (灾难) is extremely high.75. Which of the following if FALSE?A. It is possible that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station.B. It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land.C. The containers are likely to be broken by an e arthquake.D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.76. The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are.A. easyB. impossibleC. reasonableD. ineffective77. What do we learn from the la st paragraph?A. The power station is a safe place.B. The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented.C. The general public are strongly against the nuclear program.D. By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.78. What is this passage about?A. Uses of nuclear power.B. Dangers from nuclear power.C. Public anger at nuclear power.D. Accidents caused by nuclear power.CThere is one foreign product the Japanese are buying faster faster than others,and itspopularity has caused an uneasy feeling among many Japanese.That product is foreign words.Gairaigo-words that comefrom outside have been part of the Japanese language forcenturies. Mostly borrowed from English and Chiease.These terms are often changed into formsno longer understood by native speakers.But in the last few years the trickle(涓涓细流)of foreign words has become a flood,andpeople fear the increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Japanese tounderstand each other and could lead to many people forgetting the good qualities of traditional(传统的) Japanese.“The popu larity of forgign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything,”saysuniversity lecturer and writer Takashi Saito.“By using a foreign word you can make a subjectseem new,which makes it easier for the medias(媒体)to pick up.”“Experts(专家)often study abroad and use English terms when they speak with people intheir own fields. Those terms are then included in government white papers,”said MuturoKai,president of the National Language Research Institute.“Foreign words find their wayeasily into announcements made to the general public,when they should really be explained inJapanese.”Against the flow of new words,many Japanese are turning back to the study of their ownlanguage.Saito's Japanese to Be Read Aloud is one of many language books that a re now flyingoff book sellers' shelves.“We were experting to sell the books to young people,” said the writer,“but it turns out they are more popular with the older generation who seem uneasy about the futureofJapanese.”79. What advantages do foreign words have over traditional Japanese terms?A. The idea sexpressed in foreign words sound new.B. Foreign words are best suited for announcements.C. Foreign words make new subject seasier to understand.D. The use of foreign words makes the media more po pular.80.IntheopinionofTakashiSaito,Japanesepeople_____.A. are good at learning foreign languagesB. Are willing to learn about new thingsC. trust the mediaD. respect experts81. Which of the following plays an important part in the spread of foreign words?A. The media and govemment papersB. Best-selling Japanese textbooks.C. The interest of young Japenese.D. Foreign products and experts82. The book Japanese to Be read Aloud____.A. sells very well in JapanB. is supported by the governmentC. is questioned by the old generationD. causes misunderstanding among the readers.DPlanet HunterWhen Geoff Marcy was 14, his parents bought him a telescope. Every night, he would go onto the roof outside his window to see th e wonders of the sky.“What excited me most was whether there were planets(行星)in other solar(太阳的)systems where life might exist, ”he says. “I decided to try to find planets orbiting(沿…轨道运行)other stars like our Sun.”And he did. “My fellow researche r, Paul Butler, and I found our first planet in 1995, ”Dr. Marcy says. “We worked for ten years without finding anything! But we stuck with it, and our patience paid off. ”Since then, the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planetsfound orbiting other stars. Dr. Marcy and Dr. Butler also spotted the first “family”of three planets. In June 2002 they announced another discovery: a Jupiter-like(像木星一样的)planet orbiting star 55 Cancri.At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars. Recently, the scientists found planets farther out. The planet orbiting 55 Cancri is a major breakthrough: it is the first sighting of a large gas planet about the same distance from the star as Jupiter is from the Sun.Why is this important? Scientists think that life on Earth may exist because of two special features(特征)in our solar system. The first is Jupiter.“Because it’s so big, Jupiter pulls comets and asteroids(小行星), or they all come and hit the Earth. ”Dr. Marcy explains. “Without Jupiter, life on Earth would likely have been destroyed. ”A second feature is that Earth is a rocky planet where liquid water, which is necessary for life, can exist. Unlike gas planets, rocky planets like Earth have surfaces where water can gather in pools and seas, which may support life. A huge space exists between the Jupiter-like planet and two other planets that lie close to 55 Cancri. Is there an Earth-like planet in the space, too small for us to notice? If so, says Dr. Marcy, “We would have two striking similarities to our solar system: a Jupiter-like planet and an Earth-like planet. And there may be life! ”83. What can we learn about Dr. Marcy from the passage?A. He is fond of watching Jupiter.B. He is from a scientist family.C. He dislikes working with Paul Butler.D. He is interested in finding life in outer space.84. How many planets orbiting other stars have the two scientists discovered so far?A. 100B. 69C. 66D. 6585. “But we stuck with it”(in Paragraph 3)means ______.A. they felt discouragedB. they carried on with itC. they failed in their attemptD. they made some progressVII.

Passage 1(美国及美国人的由来)The United States covers a large part of the North American continent. Its neighbors are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. Although the United States is a big country , it is not the largest in the world. In 2000, its population was over 222 million.When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented on the American flag by a star. All these were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 stars. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii.Indians were the first people of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of Indians now living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans”. Most Americans come from all over the world. Those who came first in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern of North America were mostly from England. It is for the reason that the language of the United States is English and that its culture and customs are morelike those of England than those of any other country in the world.美国占去北美大陆很大一部分土地。

考研英语教育类阅读理解练习及翻译考研英语教育类阅读理解及翻译:PLIGHT OF THE PRESCHOOLERS How do they beat the odds?Competition for admission to the countrys top private schools has always been tough, but this year Elisabeth Krents realized it had reached a new level.Her wake-up call came when a man called the Dalton School in Manhattan, where Krents is admissions director, and inquired about the age cutoff for their kindergarten program. After providing the information (they dont use an age cutoff), she asked about the age of his child. The man paused for an uncomfortably long time before answering. "Well, we dont have a child yet," he told Krents. "Were trying to figure out when to conceive a child so the birthday is not a problem."School obsession is spreading from Manhattan to the rest of the country. Precise current data on private schools are unavailable, but interviews with representatives of independent and religious schools all told the same story: a glut of applicants, higher rejection rates. "We have people calling us for spots two years down the road," said Marilyn Collins of the Seven Hills School in Cincinnati. "We have grandparents calling for pregnant daughters." Public-opinion poll after poll indicates that Americans No. 1 concern is education. Now that the long economic boom has given parents more disposable income, many are turning to privateschools, even at price tags of well over $10,000 a year. "Were getting applicants from a broader area, geographically, than we ever have in the past," said Betsy Haugh of the Latin School of Chicago, which experienced a 20 percent increase in applications this year.The problem for the applicants is that while demand has increased, supply has not. "Every year, there are a few children who do not find places, but this year, for the first time that I know of, there are a significant number of children who dont have places," said Krents, who also heads a private-school admissions group in New York.So what can parents do to give their 4-year-old an edge? Schools know there is no foolproof way to pick a class when children are so young. Many schools give preference to siblings or alumni children. Some use lotteries. But most rely on a mix of subjective and objective measures: tests that at best identify developmental maturity and cognitive potential, interviews with parents and observation of applicants in classroom settings. They also want a diverse mix. Children may end up on a waiting list simply because their birthdays fall at the wrong time of year, or because too many applicants were boys.The worst thing a parent can do is to pressure preschoolers to perform--for example, by pushing them to read or do math exercises before theyre ready. Instead, the experts say, parents should take a breath and look for alternatives. Another year in preschool may be all thats needed.

初中英语阅读理解题答案和翻译篇一:英文阅读+题+答案+翻译Go for the GoldDiana Golden was 12 years old when she found out she had cancer. She waswalking home one day after playing in the snow when her right leg simply gave out. Doctors diagnosed the problem as bone cancer. They recommended removing her leg above the knee.When Diana heard the news, she asked the first question that cameinto her mind: “ Will I still be able to ski?”“When the doctors said yes,” she later recalled, “I figured it wouldn?t be too bad.” That attit ude was characteristic of Diana?s outlook on life. Losing a leg wouldcause most children to lose confidence and hope, but Diana refusedto dwell on the negative. “Losing a leg?” she?d say. “It?s nothing. A body part.”Most of all, Diana didn?t want to let cancer stopk her1from doing what she loved. And what she loved was skiing. Diana had been on skis since the age of five. Her home in Lincoln, Massachusetts, was just a couple of hours from New Hampshire?s Cannon Mountain. After the operation, Diana worked hard to get back to the mountain. “I always skied, and I intended to keep on skiing. There was never any question inmy mind about that,” she declared. Seven months after losing her leg, Diana met her goal. She was back out on the slopes.Skiing wasn?t quite the same with just one leg, but Diana made the best of it. She learned to go faster on one leg than most people could go on two. In high school, Diana became a member of her school?s ski racing team. And in 1979, when she was just 17, she became a member of the U.S Disabled Ski Team.After high school, Diana Golden went on to Dartmouth College. There she saw how top two-legged skiers trained. Determined not to be left behind, Diana began training with the dartmouth team. When they ran around the track, she followed them on crutches. When they ran up and down the steps of the football stadium, she went up and down the steps too—by hopping. “I had to adapt,” she later explamed. “I2was an athlete. I had one leg, which meant I had to do itdiffe rently.”In 1982, Diana entered her first international ski race. She went to the WorldHandicapped Championships in Norway, where she won the downhill competition. In 1986, Diana won the Beck Award, which is given to the best American racer in international skiing. The next year, she placed 10th in a race against some of the best nondisabled skiers in the country. And in 1988, she was named Ski Racing magazine?s U.S. Female Skier of the Year.As a result of her courage and determination, Diana has changed the way theworld looks at disabled athletes. People have begun to see them as strong andcompetent. “Everyone has some kind of ?disability?, Diana says. “It?s what we do with our abilities that matters.”In 1990, Diana retired from racing for good.Comprehension Exercise1. When Diana lost her leg, she was__C______A) very discouraged3B) quite unhappyC) still optimisticD) unaffected2) In 1986, Diana won the Beck Award, which is given to the best American___C___A) disabled skierB) woman skierC) racer in international skiingD) Olympic skiing champion2. The author probably wrote this passage to___B___A) inform you about disabled skiersB) inspire you with Diana?s courageC) describe the events in international ski competitionsD) tell about the disadvantages of being a disabled skier3. Which sentence below correctly restates the following: “Determined not to be left behind, Diana began training with the Dartmouth team. CA) Diana began training so she could make the Dartmouth team.B) Diana trained with the Dartmouth team so she wouldn?t finish last in her races.C) Diana wanted to keep up, so she trained with the4Dartmouth team.D) Diana wanted to be as good as the Dartmouth team so she trained with the team.4. Which of the following is the best summary of the passage? DA) After Diana lost a leg to cancer, she learned to ski on one leg.B) After losing a leg to cancer, Diana trained hard and won an Olympic gold medal.C) After Diana lost a leg to cancer, she was still competent in many sports events.D) After losing a leg to cancer, Diana worked hard to become a champion skier and a respected athlete.参考译文:勇夺金牌当发现自己身患癌症时,戴安娜?高登才仅仅12岁。

2023高考英语全国甲卷C篇阅读理解翻译及解析

2023高考英语全国甲卷C篇阅读理解翻译及解析

2023年高考英语全国甲卷C篇阅读理解翻译及解析I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy (哲学).That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you —and then try to explain them.Eric Weiner’s The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy.Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher’s work in the context (背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life.He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd inthe process by decoding (解读) their messages and adding his own interpretation.The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It’s worth your time, even if time is something we don’t have a lot of.8. Who opened the door to philosophy for the author?A. Foucault.B. Eric Weiner.C. Jostein Gaarder.D. A college teacher.9. Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4?A. To compare Weiner with them.B. To give examples of great works.C. To praise their writing skills.D. To help readers understand Weiners book.10. What does the author like about The Socrates Express?A. Its views on history are well-presented.B. Its ideas can be applied to daily life.C. It includes comments from readers.D. It leaves an open ending.11. What does the author think of Weiners book?A. Objective and plain.B. Daring and ambitious.C. Serious and hard to follow.D. Humorous and straightforward.汉语翻译:我大约13岁的时候,一位叔叔给了我一本乔斯坦·加德的《索菲的世界》。

Think about allthe water faucets (水龙头) in the toilet. Think about all the air conditioning in summer. Saving energy is a hot topic for such a bigplace!Many things at the mall use energy. Electric lights, infrared (红外感应) faucets and air-conditioners need electricity to work.One way to save energy is by keeping lights clean. More and more dust and dirt make the lights less bright.

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth. ”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happene d. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原谅) me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to,that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.1.

It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world withoutgetting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, andthat my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said yes. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”像绝大部分人,我长大看待生命是一个过程获得。

You must have been troubled by when to say "I love you" because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.What if you say it first and your partner doesn’ t love you back? or if they do say. it but you don’t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerver racking(紧张)and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn’ t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand fast?A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal," says psychologist Sidney Crown. "But love is seldom equal. " All. relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. "That feeling of ’ I’ ve always loved you more’ may be subverted(颠覆,破坏) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大声争吵). " In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. "The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings," says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. "The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ’ I love you’ first may also be the one who says ’ I’ m bored with you’ first. " Hall believes that much depends on how "I love you" is said and the motivation of the person saying it. "Is it said whenthey’ re drunk? Is it said. before their partner files off on holiday, and what it really means is ’ Please don’ t be unfaithful to me’ ? By saying ’ I love you’, they really saying’ Do you love me?’ If so, wouldn’t it just be more honest to say mat.Collins agrees that intention is everything. "It’s not what is said, but how it’ s said. What it comes do wn to is the sincerity of the speaker.”51. What is the main idea of this passage?[ A ] The importance of "I love you"[ B ] The meaning of "I love you"[ C ] The time of saying "I love you".[ D ] The place of saying. "I love you"52. In the first sentence the author means that[ A ] it is easy to say "I love you"[ B ] it is hard to say "I love you"[ C ] we have many troubles in our life[ D ] people usually do not know when to say "I love you"53. According to the expert, a good relationship should be[ A ] fair and equal[ B ] fair and kind[ C ] powerful and equal[ D] confident and fair54. In the third paragraph, the phrase "with the upper hand" means[ A ] being low in spirit[ B ] having only one hand[ C ] being active[ D ] being passive55. What is the most important for you to consider when somebody say "I love you"to you?[ A ] The intention.[ B ] The place.[ C ] The time.[ D ] The determination.翻译及答案:你一定曾经为何时说“我爱你”而烦恼过,因为这是我们生活中的一大难题。

2023年高考英语全国乙卷阅读理解B篇翻译及解析

2023年高考英语全国乙卷阅读理解B篇翻译及解析Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape (风景) can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation.Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment.One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz (石英) rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route (路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressfulgetting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.4. How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest?A. By teaming up with other photographers.B. By shooting in the countryside or state parks.C. By studying the geographical conditions.D. By creating settings in the corn fields.5. What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author?A. Proper time management.B. Good shooting techniques.C. Adventurous spirit.D. Distinctive styles.6. What can we infer from the author’s trip with friends to Devil’s Lake?A. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock.B. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset.C. They reached the shooting spot later than expected.D. They had problems with their equipment.7. How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake?A. Amusing.B. Satisfying.C. Encouraging.D. Comforting.住在爱荷华州,努力成为一名专门从事风景摄影的摄影师(风景)这可能是一个相当大的挑战,主要是因为玉米州缺乏地理差异。

西门豹治邺魏文侯时,西门豹为邺令。

豹往到邺,(会)长老,问之民所疾苦。

长老曰:“苦为河伯娶妇,以故渐贫。

”豹问其故,对曰:“邺三老、廷掾常岁赋敛百姓,收取其钱得数百万,用其二三十万为河伯娶妇,与祝巫共分其余钱持归。

当其时,巫行视小家女好者,云‘是当为河伯妇。

’即娉取。

洗沐之,为治新缯绮縠衣,闲居斋戒;为治斋宫河上,张缇绛帷,女居其中,为具牛酒饭食,行十余日。

共粉饰之,如嫁女床席,令女居其上,浮之河中。

始浮,行数十里乃没。

其人家有好女者,恐大巫祝为河伯取之,以故多持女远逃亡。

以故城中益空无人,又困贫,所从来久远矣。

民人俗语曰:‘即不为河伯娶妇,水来漂没,溺其人民’云。

”西门豹曰:“至为河伯娶妇时,愿三老、巫祝、父老送女河上,幸来告语之,吾亦往送女。

”皆曰:“诺。

”至其时,西门豹往会之河上。

三老、官属、豪长者、里父老皆会,以人民往观之者三二千人。

其巫,老女子也,已年七十。

从弟子女十人所,皆衣缯单衣,立大巫后。

西门豹曰:“呼河伯妇来,视其好丑。

”即将女出帷中,来至前。

豹视之,顾谓三老,巫祝、父老曰:“是女子不好,烦大巫妪为入报河伯,得更求好女,后日送之。

”即使吏卒共抱大巫妪投之河中。

有顷,曰:“巫妪何久也?弟子(趣)之?”复以弟子一人投河中。

有顷,曰:“弟子何久也?复使一人趣之!”复投一弟子河中。

凡投三弟子。

西门豹曰:“巫妪、弟子,是女子也,不能白事。

烦三老为入(白)之。

”复投三老河中。

西门豹簪笔磬折,向河立待良久。

长老、吏傍观者皆惊恐。

西门豹曰:“巫妪、三老不来还,奈之何?”欲复使廷掾与豪长者一人入趣之。

皆叩头,叩头且破,额血流地,色如死灰。

西门豹曰:“诺,且留待之须臾。

”须臾,豹曰:“廷掾起矣,状河伯留客之久,若皆罢去归矣。

”邺吏民大惊恐,从是以后,不敢复言为河伯娶妇。

西门豹即发民凿十二渠,引河水灌民田,田皆溉。

当其时,民治渠少烦苦,不欲也。

1Romantic love is one of the most enticing topics around. Just about every movie, TV show, and country-music song contains some element of romance. For many, romantic relationships are by far the most important in their lives.浪漫的爱情是最迷人的一个话题。

几乎所有的电影,电视节目,音乐和乡村音乐歌曲包含一些爱情元素。

对许多人来说,浪漫关系是迄今为止在他们的生活中最重要的。

As a society, we long for intimacy. We grow up believing that if we "just meet the right person" we will be happy. This message is popularized by modern media. It is perhaps one of the most destructive messages around. Quentin Crisp says: "The consuming desire of most human beings is to deliberately plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature ..."作为一个社会,我们长期的亲密。

我们相信如果我们“仅仅满足人的权利”,我们会很高兴的。

这个消息是由现代媒体推广。

这也许是最具破坏性的消息。

昆廷说:“脆的大多数人的消费欲望是故意的种植他们的整个生活在另一个人的手。

我会形容这种方法寻找幸福是不成熟的……”When we feel unhappy it is natural to start searching for the cause of our distress. There is nothing wrong with this, but it becomes a problem when we start searching outside of ourselves. We are taught that当我们不开心的时候很自然地开始寻找我们的痛苦的原因。

这没有错,但它成为一个问题,当我们开始搜索以外的自己。

我们都知道if we are happily "coupled" we won't have problems. It is therefore natural to blame our partner for our "aloneness." The consequences of this belief are enormously self-destructive.如果我们是快乐的“耦合”我们不会有问题。

责怪我们的“孤独的伙伴是很自然的。

”这一信念的后果是巨大的自我毁灭。

Romantic love is exciting, but what happens when the romance wears off? Experts estimate that romantic sexual attractions last only 18 months to two years. Using love or sex as a drug will only prevent us fromreaching maturity. We do need excitement and stimulation and joy and intimacy. But in mature love we are concerned with our loved one's joy and fulfillment. The satisfaction comes not from our own immediate gratification, but from the joy of giving to the other person, and watching them grow and thrive.浪漫的爱情是令人兴奋的,但是当爱情消失?专家估计,浪漫的性吸引力,最后只有18个月到两年。

用爱和性作为药物只会阻止我们达到成熟。

我们需要兴奋和刺激、欢乐和亲密。

但在成熟的爱,我们关心的是我们所爱的人的快乐和满足感。

满足不是来自我们自己的即时满足,但给人的快乐,看着他们成长。

If you are single, the best thing you can do to prepare for a life-long loving relationship is to work on getting your own needs met. The first thing to do is to start identifying what they are. For instance: you long for affection and need a hug. Have you thought of asking a friend to hug you? You will be amazed what will happen if you start asking people directly to meet your needs.如果你是单身,你可以准备一个终身的爱的关系的最好的事情就是做你所需要的。

要做的第一件事是开始确定它们是什么。

例如:你长的感情和需要一个拥抱。

你问一个朋友拥抱你的想法吗?你会惊讶,如果你开始问人们直接去满足你的需求会发生什么。

You will get some negative responses, but for the most part you will find that people are happy to help you.你会得到一些消极的反应,但大部分你会发现人们很乐意帮助你。

Many of us were taught our needs are wrong. Our needs are not wrong. We get into difficulty when we try to meet our needs in indirect ways. It is not that we shouldn't enjoy the excitement of a new relationship or love interest; we get into difficulty when we think we will get all our needs met from this one "magical" person.我们中的许多人被教导我们的需要是错的。

我们需要的是没有错的。

我们遇到困难时,我们尽量满足我们的需要,以间接的方式。

这并不是说我们不应该享受新的关系或爱的兴趣的兴奋;我们遇到困难时,我们认为我们会得到所有满足我们的需要从这一“神奇”的人。
