参考译文
一万年来，人类一直在以螺旋上升的速度积累关于自身和宇宙的有用的知识。
随着文字的发明，这一速度急剧加快，但即便如此，在几个世纪里，也还是非常缓慢的。知识积累的第二次跃进直到l5世纪古滕博格和其他人发明了活字印刷后才出现。据最乐观的估计，欧洲在1500年以前生产书籍的速度是每年1000种。这意味着要建一座藏书100万种的图书馆需要整整一个世纪的时间。到1950年，也就是4个半世纪以后，知识积累的速度增长得如此之快以至于欧洲每年生产出12万种图书。曾经需要花一个世纪才能完成的事现在只要用10个月。到1960年，仅仅10年以后。这一速度再次显著提高，一个世纪的工作只要7个半月就可以完成。而且到60年代中期，在包括欧洲在内的世界范围内，图书产量达到了每天900种的巨大数字。
每本书都是知识的净增长，对此人们很少有争议。但是我们发现事实上图书出版的增长曲线与人类发现新知识的速度大致相符。例如，在古滕博格之前，只有11种已知的化学元素。第12种元素，锑，就大致是在他致力于他的发明时被发现的。这距第11种元素砷的发现已经整整200年了。如果我们继续以同样的速度发现元素，从古滕博格至今，我们只能往元素周期表上再增加两、三种元素而已。相反，在他之后的450年中，有大约70种元素被发现。而1900年以后，我们分离其余元素的速度不是每两个世纪一种，而是每3年一种。
答案及解析
the rate“速率”，全文自始至终都在谈存储知识——出版书的速率问题。
(2) :A
even so“即使这样”。
(3) :D
in knowledge acquisition“在知识的获得方面”。“在…方面”应用in。
(4) :A
not..．until“直到…才”，固定搭配。
(5) :C
prior to“在…前”，固定搭配。
(6) :B
by the most optimistic estimates“依最乐观的估计”。estimate“估计，猜测”，如It is estimated that the painting was worth of $20，000 at that time。evaluate“评估”，如evaluate a school“评估学校”。
(7) :A
过去将来时。
(8) :B
从1500到1950，正好是4个半世纪，因此选centuries。
(9) :D
主语从句，既缺少主语又缺少关联词。
(10) :C
从上文by 1950，by 1960看，强调的是时间的短暂性，只用了一个10年。
(11) :B
SO that“以至于”；now that=since“既然”。
(12) :C
从下文60年代中期书的产量来看，文章是要表达60年代一个世纪的工作在七个半月完成的并列关系，都突出了时间的快速。
(13) :C
sphere“球”；stretch表示“地方、空间”；scope表示“覆盖面的宽，用于指空间”；scale表示“大，巨大”，表程度；on a world scale“在世界范围内”。表示一种程度，而不定空间范围。
(14) :B
hardly“几乎不能”，本句意为我们并不能说，每本书都能促进知识的进步。
(15) :D
diagram“示意图、图解”。curve“曲线图”。本文指的是曲线图。
(16) :D
parallel“和…平行”。本句意为出版速率曲线和发现新知识的速率曲线平行相似。因此最好选parallel，而不是resemble。
(17) :B
only“仅仅”。
(18) :B
at the time“在那时”。
(19) :B
本句是表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，省略if，助动词had提前。

(1) :A
参考译文
令人沮丧的环境，老朽的建筑，和最低的物质消耗使得中学生活对这些孩子来说是一种艰难的战斗。仅仅要从这样的中学毕业就已经很难，更不用说成为优等的理工科学生了。来自社
会经济水平更高的家庭的孩子所就读的学校里不会容忍我每天都会遇到的困难。必须尽快而有效地改善学校的状况，否则这个国家中人和人的分化只会加剧。
当然．关心该问题的公民可以做一些事情来帮助他们。和某所学校建立联系，尤其是贫困地区的学校。自告奋勇做个报告，或者只是跟孩子们待在一起。跟来做职业探索讲座的保险销售员谈天让我的学生们非常兴奋。他们不仅对他所描述的机遇真的感兴趣，而且对这样一个人愿意为他们奉献一个下午感到新奇。
虽然这些方法可以有所帮助，但还是不够的。要使教学有成效，市中心区的整个环境都需要改变。如果一个人处于饥饿和恐慌之中，教他速度和加速度的区别是徒劳的。诸如教育父母如何养育孩子，组织低收入群体组成互助小组，打击贩毒和帮助清洁贫民区等项目将能够改善社区的生活。
目前充斥着报纸的小的改变和“新”的提议肯定力度不够，不足以改变几十年来一直在土崩瓦解的腐朽消沉的学校结构。市中心区学校需要的和孩子们有权得到的比我们的社会愿意给予的要多得多。跟许多人一样，我加入教师这个行业，是因为渴望探究变革，结果发现在我面前有很多由来已久的障碍。要改变现状不应如此艰难。
答案及解析：uphill=tough“艰难的”。
(2) :B
从文中可知：选项A：政治圈会给学校提供帮助。文章没有提过，只是在第二段第一行提到了citizens市民。选项B；开一个见面会对学生有好处。正确，文章提到了推销员。选项C：教学方法必须改革。文章说整个平民区的环境必须改变，没有涉及教学方法。选项D：学生害怕和陌生人谈话。错误。
(3) :D
作者认为：选项A：人以财产分类。错误，文章没有体现。选项B：高才理工类学生毕业于普通高中。文章第一段说学生从那样的高中毕业都很困难，更别提要成为高才理工或工程类学生。选项C：应该立刻进行小的改变。文章没提到，只是在最后一段的第一句说现在报纸上充斥的这些关于小改变新建议的提法不足以改变这种多年涣散、颓废、消沉的学校结构体系。选项D：社会对贫民区学校的帮助是不足的。正确，第三段第一句说了：Although those measures can help，they are not enough。
(4) :B
亲自帮助清理贫民区。第三段最后一句话：Programs that educate parents in child—rearin9，organize low-income groups into cooperative units，fight drug trafficking and help to clean up the ghettos physically will improve the life in the community。
(5) :B
应该清除教学障碍。文章最后一段：I entered the teaching profession eager to investigate change and found many institutionalized obstacles in my way．尤其最后一句：It should not be SO difficult to make a difference．做一下改变不应该那么难吧。表明了作者的意图。(6) :C
参考译文
许多描述货币政策的说法，像“引导经济软着陆”或“轻微抑制”，听起来像是一门精确的科学。事实上远非如此。利率和通货膨胀之间的关系是不确定的。并且在政策变动对经济产生影响之前，会有漫长多变的滞后期。所以有这样一个类比，把货币政策行为比作驾驶一辆挡风漆黑后视镜碎裂，方向盘失灵的汽车。
尽管有这么多的不利条件，中央银行工作人员似乎仍有很多东西去吹嘘。去年7个工业大国的平均通货膨胀率降至2.3％，接近30年来的最低点，今年7月略有回升，至2.5％。这和许多国家70年代和80年代初经历的两位数的通货膨胀率相比，可是大大降低了。
这比大多数预言者们预测的也低多了。1994年底《经济学家》杂志每个月都要对其进行意
见调查的经济学家小组说，美国的平均通货膨胀率到1995年将达3.5％。事实上，8月份通货膨胀率降至2.6％，预期全年平均值也只有大约3％。英国和日本的通货膨胀率比去年年底预期的要低0.5个百分点。这并非昙花一现；在过去几年里，英国和美国的通货膨胀率持续低于预期水平。
经济学家们尤其对英美两国的可喜的通货膨胀数字感到惊讶，因为传统判断方法显示两国经济，尤其是美国经济，并没有多少可供充分利用的闲置资源。例如，美国对生产力的利用能力在今年早些时候达到历史最高水平，而且失业率(8月份是5.6％)降至低于多数对正常失业率的估计值的水平——过去在正常失业率水平通货膨胀率是会激增的。
为什么通货膨胀率增长缓慢呢?很不幸，最令人感到惊奇的解释其实有点问题。有些经济学家认为，世界格局的剧变已使过去以经济增长和通货膨胀之间的历史联系为基础的旧经济模式倒转过来。
答案及解析：文章第一段提到了：And there are long．variable lags before policy changes have any effect on the economy．政策对经济的影响有一个长期的间隔期。即政策的变化不会立刻影响经济。
(7) :D
从文章可知：选项A：通货膨胀和银行存款利率之间关系明确。错误，文章说：The relation between interest rates and inflation is uncertain。选项B：经济总是跟随某种潮流。错误，文章没提到。选项C：当前的经济问题完全被预测到了。错误，当前的经济形式比预测的要好。选项D：目前的经济形式比预料的要好。
(8) :B
文章表明：选项A：先前的经济模式仍然适用。错误，与文章最后一段意思相反。选项B：极端的低失业率导致通货膨胀。正确，由第四段最后一句话可知，极低的失业率会导致通货膨胀。选项C：通货膨胀导致高失业率。错误。选项D：银行利率对经济有直接影响。错误，没涉及。
(9) :A
no flash in the pan“昙花一现”。这种低通货膨胀不是昙花一现，即低通货膨胀还会继续。(10) :D
吃惊，因为形势比预测的要好。(11) :D

教室空间的合理布局对促进学生之间的互动是很重要的。大部分人已经注意到客观环境对我们工作时的效率和舒适程度有多么重要。如今的许多公司都聘请人力工程专家和花费大量的时间和金钱以确保建筑物的客观环境适合居住者进行活动。
同样，大学教室的空间设计应能激发批判式的思想活动。我们即将步入21世纪。但是踏入几乎任何一所大学的教室，你都像退回到了至少一百年前。课桌通常摆成笔直的几排，这样学生们都能清楚地看到老师而不是所有的同学。这样一种布局的设想是很显然的：所有重要的东西都来自老师。
除非课桌是固定在地板上的，否则老师若稍动动脑子，费点力气，是可以纠正这种情况，创造出空间来鼓励学生之间的相互交流的。若上小型或标准规模的课，椅子、课桌和讲桌可以用不同方式摆放，如圆形，u形或半圆形。主要目的是让每一个人都能看到其他所有人。很不幸，若上大课，特别是在大教室里上的课，灵活性要小得多。
教室的布局还应该便于学生分组讨论和练习解决问题。这对桌椅可以移动的小教室不成问题。即使是在大教室里，也可以让学生转过身组成4到6人的小组。把一个班级分成若干小组可以给学生提供更多互相交流，努力思考，以及了解其他同学的思维过程的机会—所有这些都是发展新的批判思维模式的重要因素。

大学英语四级模拟试题四(附含答案解析)
大学英语四级模拟题四 Part One Reading Comprehension (2’×10 = 20’) Directions: 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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow”from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory（呼吸的）diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases. Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility （能见度）. There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals are apt（易于的）to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers. Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes（腐蚀）our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control. 1. Air pollution may lead to airplane accidents because . A. it may cause pilots to be ill B. engines may fail from the air-borne dirt C. visibility is reduced D. it brings a lot of black snow 2. Scientists are trying to find a link between pollution and . A. intelligence levels B. birth problems C. man’s behavior D. the nervous system 3. Scientists have not yet determined . A. all of the effects of pollution on the human body B. how pollution can be controlled successfully C. when the atmosphere first became polluted D. how some snow becomes black 4. The author suggests that before air pollution becomes more serious, . A. factories will be forced to stop operating B. buildings should be protected C. the earth will begin to grow colder D. more money should be spent to solve the problem 5. We can conclude that . A. civilization may be ruined if pollution is not controlled B. pollution is more serious in Europe than it is in America C. most people do not know that pollution is a serious problem D. we should learn all the answers before we begin to control pollution Passage Two Stiletto heels could be banned from the workplace because of health and safety reasons, according to British Trade Union bosses. The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear “sensible shoes”with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference. The motion states: “Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely in appropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Feet bear the burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders. Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints. Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code. More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected.” Nadline Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticized the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace. “I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye,”she said. “If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me. The Trade Union leaders need to get real, stop using obvious sexist tactics by discussing women’s

Passage Two Researchers have discovered a link between drinking and thinking. A moderate amount of alcohol may help us keep our mental abilities as we age. Brain scans show alcohol abuse kills brain cells. But little is known about the effects of life-long drinking. So moderate drinkers may want to toast new findings from researchers at Duke, Indiana Universities. Dr. Joe Christian of Indiana Universities says men who have one or two drinks each day retain slightly stronger comprehension skills than the non-drinker or the heavy drinker. The doctor and his colleagues gave mental tests to nearly 4,000 male twins between the ages of 66 and 76.

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite

四级考试练习试卷 Writing part 106 The Importance of Speaking Ability and How to Develop It As we all know, proficiency in speaking is necessary for us to become well-rounded communicators. However, the capacity to put words together in a meaningful way to reflect thoughts, opinions, and feelings is not something we're born with but needs some techniques and practice. Firstly, build confidence and concentrate on getting our message across, which help us gain the attention of the audience return. Secondly, experiment with the things we know well instead of challenging ourselves with difficult words since fluency appears more important during oral communication. Lastly, create some opportunities to practice like narrating our daily life to ourselves or maintaining a regular chat with friends. To sum up, only by being confident enough and using efficient methods can we enhance our speaking ability. Follow the steps to improve our speaking skills in order to achieve a higher standard in communication.

Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. 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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids (小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists. Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids (流星) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth. Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course. Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn’t be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk re: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare—but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It’s that simple.” The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday (毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,” said a New York Times article. 21. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids? A) They are heavenly bodies different in composition. B) They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.

英语四级考试真题及答案(卷一完整 版) 范文： Writing：家长角色 There are several possible reasons accountable for this phenomenon(中心句). To begin with, family in growing numbers has only one child; therefore, parents oftentimes focus all their attentions on that child and exert much pressure on him or her(原因一). Moreover, numerous parents intend to realize their unfulfilled dreams by letting their children learn what they failed to learn and apply for the college by which they failed to be accepted, because they have become richer and they believe that they have the power to make what they wanted and want come true now(原因二). For instance, my uncle used to be a poor man and his dream that one day he would become a violinist was broken because of lack of money. But he made a fortune by selling coals, and then forced his son, my younger brother to practice playing violin. My brother was a huge fan of sports, but now he has to play violin everyday unwillingly and ofter quarrels with their parents(举例：原来-然后-结局). To sum up, it is unreasonable for parents to control their children’s life(总结句). In order to help them grow happily

Media Selection for Advertisements After determining the target audience for a product or service, advertising agencies must select the appropriate media for the advertisement. We discuss here the major types of media used in advertising. We focus our attention on seven types of advertising: television, newspapers, radio, magazines, out-of-home. Internet, and direct mail. Television Television is an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers mass audiences to advertisers. When you consider that nearly three out of four Americans have seen the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? you can understand the power of television to communicate with a large audience. When advertisers create a brand, for example, they want to impress consumers with the brand and its image. Television provides an ideal vehicle for this type of communication.But television is an expensive medium, and not all advertisers can afford to use it. Television's influence on advertising is fourfold. First, narrowcasting means that television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience. The Golf Channel, for instance.
