1. 外卖食品
现在外卖食品越来越受到白领的青睐。人们可以通过PC端网站、手机APP、微信公众账号来订购外卖食品。外卖食品极其在乎品质和用户体验，消费者可以基于地理位置搜索到附近的正餐快餐、小吃甜点、咖啡蛋糕等外卖信息，可自由选择配送时间、支付方式，并添加备注和发票信息，随时随地下单，快速配送到手，完成一次足不出户的美味体验。
2. 网络应用
在计算机技术、网络通讯技术以及互联网技术高速发展的今天，人类社会迈入了网络时代。网络应用包括了信息交流、电子商务、移动互联、云计算四个方面。信息交流活动是人类文明的组成部分，其变革影响并见证了人类社会的发展。电子商务是指运用电子化信息技术手段展开商务活动，已广泛渗透到我国社会经济生活的各个领域。移动互联网是一种通过智能移动终端获取业务和服务的新兴业态。云计算提供了一种全新的信息生产、消费和服务方式。
3. 微信
微信(WeChat)作为时下最热门的社交信息平台，是一个为智能终端提供即时通讯服务的免费应用程序。微信支持单人、多人参与，人们通过手机网络发送语音、图片、视频和文字。截止到2015年第一季度，微信已经覆盖中国90%以上的智能手机，月活跃用户达到5.49亿，用户覆盖200多个国家、超过20种语言。此外，各品牌的微信公众账号总数已经超过800万个，微信支付用户则达到了4亿左右。
4. 医患关系
医患关系是一种人际互动，而且医生也是人。他们不想让病人心烦，也不想让病人难过或流泪。但他们也需要成为专业人士，所以他们需要找一种有效的沟通方式。
对于医生们来说，认识到这一点是至关重要的。因为尽管谎言是善意的，但研究表明病人们更喜欢真相，他们宁可听到坏消息，也不愿意对对糟糕的身体状况一无所知。完全知情是病人能对所要发生的任何事情进行处理和做好准备的一种途径。
5. 成为有学识的人
我们必须认识到成为有学识的人是一项艰难、费力的事业。人们会认为那些把剧烈体能训练说成是愉悦和快乐的持续源泉的人是愚蠢的，因为我们都知道这种训练意味着多少痛苦和挫折，因此，任何把竭尽智力说成是快乐和欣喜的持续源泉的人也同样是愚蠢的，因为这种努力也会有痛苦和挫折。当然，学习和运动中都会有乐趣，然而，在两种情形中，只有克服真正的挑战并付出辛苦才能得到快乐。

大学英语六级分类模拟题282 (总分100,考试时间90分钟) Translation 1. 反法西斯战争 今年是世界反法西斯战争胜利70周年，也是中国人民抗日战争胜利70周年。中国人民浴血奋战14年，最终取得了世界反法西斯战争的伟大胜利。为保护人类文明、捍卫世界和平做出巨大贡献。中国希望同广大同盟国共同回顾总结历史，展望开辟未来，坚定铭记历史、永不再战的庄严承诺，构建以合作共赢为核心的新型国际关系，让世界更加和平，更加和谐，更加美好。 2. 3D眼镜 3D眼镜帮助医生在看不清双手的时候进行外科手术。如今戴着3D眼镜的并非只有电影爱好者，一项新研究表明3D眼镜也能让医生获益。过去，医生对于工作中使用3D技术持怀疑态度，他们更愿意依靠自身经验。但由于3D眼镜或者甚至不需要眼镜的3D技术，这种情况可能要有所改变了。在行业人士的资助下，对50场手术的研究发现新技术的使用提高了手术的精准性与速度。 3. DIY 人们热衷于DIY的原因一直都错综复杂。对于一些人来说，DIY提供了一个珍贵的彰显独创性和自我展现的机会。DIY被他们视为一种新颖有趣的消遣。他们认为自己动手做的才是最好的。它不是真正意义上的工作，但是近似于娱乐，不仅在伙伴之间分享，甚至也在年轻家庭的孩子们之间分享。当他们DIY时，可以放松自己，摆脱紧张的情绪，并在这一过程中变得更善于交际。可以这么说，DIY给人们提供了一个在工作和玩耍之间转变的舞台。4. 春节 春节是中国人一年中的第一个传统佳节。过去，春节被称为“新年”，因为按照中国一直沿用的农历，这天是正月初一，为新一年的开头。据记载，中国人民过春节已有4000多年的历史，它是由虞舜兴起的。公元前两千多年的一天，舜即天子位，带领着部下人员，祭拜天地。从此，人们就把这一天当作岁首，算是正月初一。据说这就是农历新年的由来，后来叫春节。1911年辛亥革命后，中国采用公历纪年，农历新年便改称“春节”。 5. 二十四节气 二十四节气是我国古代劳动人民独创的文化遗产，是在古时的太阳历的基础上发展起来的。二十四节气较准确反映了季节的变化并用于指导农事活动，影响着千家万户的衣食住行。二十四节气科学地揭示了天文气象变化的规律。二十四节气将天文、农事和民俗实现了完美的结合，衍生了大量与之相关的岁时节令文化，成为中华民族传统文化的重要组成部分。由于我国幅员辽阔，地形多变，故二十四节气对于很多地区来讲只是一种参考。

大学英语考试大学英语六级CET6模拟题2020年(28) (总分100,考试时间130分钟) Translation 1. 1. 自1949年以来，中国农业科学家共培育出40多种农作物，包括近5000个高产、优质、抗性强的新品种，使主要农作物品种更新四至五次，每更新一次，一般增产10%至30%。中国粮食作物单产已由1950年的1.16吨/公顷(hectare)增加到4.82吨/公顷。与此同时，农业部门从世界各地引进农作物、苗木10万多种，并培育了水稻、玉米、小麦等作物的新品种。许多新的先进技术也得以在农业生产中广泛应用，对提高农民科技素质起到重要作用。 2. 2. 中国政府非常重视汽车工业的发展。自1949年中华人民共和国成立以来，为了将汽车工业发展成为民族工业，政府对其给予高度保护。然而，事与愿违，在诸多汽车企业中，上规模的为数不多。自20世纪80年代中期以来，在对外投资优惠政策的鼓励下，国际大型汽车制造企业纷纷在中国建立合资企业，这表明中国汽车工业前景广阔。中国加入WTO 后，国内市场面临着巨大挑战，大幅降价仅仅是挑战之一。只有通过激烈竞争，中国的汽车工业才能发展壮大。 3. 3. 新型合作医疗制度将切实提高农村居民抵御重大疾病风险的能力，防止因病致贫、因病返贫。我国农村还有约3000万贫困人口，有6000万人徘徊在温饱线上。中国正致力于在未来的20年内全面建设小康社会。提高占全国人口70%的农民的生活水平，是实现这个目标的关键问题。因此，不解决农民的看病问题，就很难最终实现全面建设小康社会的目标。中国政府下决心为9亿农民建立新型合作医疗制度。截至2010年，这项制度已经基本覆盖全国。 4. 4. 远程教育(distance education)与传统教育有两大区别，即远程教育具有灵活性和开放性，不受时空和学习进度的限制。教师在一处授课，而学生在另一处学习，打破了地域限制。授课可以实时或非实时进行。正如五花八门的课程一样，远程教育的模式也是多种多样的。一般而言，远程教育有三种基本的传播模式：电视现场直播、完整的或经过压缩的信息传播以及基于计算机的教学。当然，也可以综合应用这些模式。例如：以播放录像带为主的课程可以经由卫星或万维网直播。 5. 5. 由于各个国家不同的习俗和文化而产生了不同类型的佛教，但佛法的本质是不变的。佛教的道德规则是戒律(precept)，其中主要的五戒是：不杀生、不偷盗、不邪淫、不妄语和不饮酒。佛教也是一种信仰，它对其他的信仰或**很宽容。佛教徒也从不强求别人改变信仰，只是在别人需要时尽力开导，这就是历史上从来没有任何战争是以佛教的名义发起的原因。

大学英语六级改革适用(段落翻译)模拟试卷281(题后含答案及解析)
大学英语六级改革适用（段落翻译）模拟试卷281(题后含答案及解 析) 题型有： 4. Translation Part ⅣTranslation 1．生肖(Chinese Zodiac)是指代表着每个人出生年份的十二种动物。它是中国民间计算年龄的方法，也是一种古老的纪年法(chronology)。生肖的产生可能源于古代人对动物的崇拜。关于人们为什么选择这十二种动物，以及为什么按照这样的顺序排列，有许多传说，但并没有定论。有些人会把性格和命运跟生肖联系起来，这是没有科学依据的。中国邮政在每年新年之初都会发行生肖邮票。中国人过年的时候，也喜欢在家门贴上印有生肖的年画。 正确答案：Chinese Zodiac refers to twelve animals that stand for each person’s birth year. It is a Chinese folk method of calculating age, as well as an ancient chronology. Chinese Zodiac possibly originates from ancient people’s worship of animals. There are many legends as to why people chose the twelve animals and arranged them in such an order, but no final conclusion has been reached. Some people associate character and destiny with China Zodiac, which is not scientific. At the beginning of each year China Post publishes Chinese Zodiac stamps. During the Spring Festival, Chinese people also like to stick on the door new year pictures with Chinese Zodiac printed on them. 解析：1．第一句的主干是“生肖是指十二种动物”。“十二种动物”的定语“代表着每个人出生年份”是一个动词结构，翻译时可将之处理为that引导的定语从句，放在中心名词twelve animals后面，这样句子结构更合理，避免头重脚轻。2．第三句“生肖的产生可能源于古代人对动物的崇拜”中的“产生”和“源于”直接用originate from表达即可，因为originate from本身便含有这两个词的意思。3．第四句“关于人们为什么选择……”的主干是“有很多传说”，可用there be句型翻译。“关于人们为什么选……这样的顺序排列”这一部分很长，可用介词短语as to表达，作为legends的修饰成分，这样处理让句子更加平衡。4．第五句的“有些人会把性格和命运跟生肖联系起来”和“这是没有科学依据的”是两个完整的主谓结构。后半句的“这”指代前半句的内容，所以用which引导的非限制性定语从句来表达。“没有科学依据的”不必译为have no scientific basis，而译为not scientific，更加简练，符合英语表达习惯。知识模块：段落翻译 2．春运(Chunyun)是指中国春节前后一段时期里出现的一种高负荷交通运输。一般从春节前15天开始，持续约40天。对大多数中国人来说，在春节期间与家人团聚是一个悠久的传统。人们从工作、读书的地方回到家里，在除夕夜与家人一起吃团圆饭。春运期间的客流量(passenger flow)在近10年来每年都已超过中国大陆的总人口。春运被称为每年世界上最大的人类迁徙活动。在这期间，铁路运输往往经历最大的考验。
大学英语六级分类模拟题283_真题-无答案
大学英语六级分类模拟题283 (总分100,考试时间90分钟) Translation 1. 度量衡 计量，古称度量衡，是现代国家经济、科技、社会发展的重要基础。计量历史悠久，关系国计民生。公元前221年秦朝建立，秦始皇统一度量衡，成为中国古代统一计量制度的里程碑。1875年5月20日“米制公约”的签署，开辟了全球范围内推行国际单位制的近代计量新纪元。以量子物理为基础的现代计量科学技术的研究与应用，为人类文明发展提供了更加精准的现代计量技术保障。1999年第21届国际计量大会决定：自2000年起，每年5月20日为“世界计量日”。2015年世界计量日的中国宣传主题与国际主题一致，为“计量与光”。 2. 孔子学院 孔子学院(Confucius Institute)并非一般意义上的大学，而是推广汉语和传播中国文化与国学的教育和文化交流机构，是一个非盈利性的社会公益机构，一般都是下设在国外的大学和研究院之类的教育机构里。孔子学院最重要的一项工作就是给世界各地的汉语学习者提供规范、权威的现代汉语教材；提供最正规、最主要的汉语教学渠道。孔子是中国传统文化的代表人物，选择孔子作为汉语教学品牌是中国传统文化复兴的标志。 3. 算盘 算盘(abacus)是汉族劳动人民发明创造的一种简便的计算工具。中国是算盘的故乡，在计算机已被普遍使用的今天，古老的算盘不仅没有被废弃，反而因它的灵便、准确等优点，在许多国家方兴未艾。因此，人们往往把算盘的发明与中国古代四大发明相提并论。由于珠算盘运算方便、快速，几千年来一直是汉族劳动人民普遍使用的计算工具，即使最先进的电子计算器也不能完全取代珠算盘的作用。2013年，珠算已正式成为人类非物质文化遗产。 4. 文化 文化是一个非常广泛的概念，给它下一个严格和精确的定义是一件非常困难的事情。笼统地说，文化是一种社会现象，是人们长期创造形成的产物，同时又是一种历史现象，是社会历史的积淀物(sediment)。确切地说，文化是能够被传承的国家或民族的历史、地理、风土人情、传统习俗、生活方式、文学艺术、行为规范、思维方式、价值观念等，是人类之间进行交流的普遍认可的一种能够传承的意识形态(ideology)。 5. 老龄化社会 老龄化社会(an aging society)是指老年人口占总人口达到或超过一定的比例的人口结构模型。按照联合国的传统标准是一个地区60岁以上的老人达到总人口的10%，新标准是65岁老人占总人口的7%，即该地区视为进入老龄化社会。老龄化的加速对经济社会都将产生巨大的压力。2009年10月26日，中国传统节El重阳节(the Double Ninth Festival)到来之际，中国正式启动了一项应对人口老龄化战略研究，以积极应对持续加剧的人口老龄化危机。
大学英语六级分类模拟题319_真题-无答案
大学英语六级分类模拟题319 (总分100,考试时间90分钟) Reading Comprehension Texting has long been bemoaned(哀叹)as the downfall of the written word, "penmanship for illiterates," as one critic called it. To which the proper response is LOL. Texting properly isn"t writing at all. It"s a "spoken" language that is getting richer and **plex by the year. First, some historical perspective. Writing was only invented 5,500 years ago, whereas language probably traces back at least 80,000 years. Thus talking came first; writing is just a craft that came along later. As such, the first writing was based on the way people talk, with short sentences. However, while talking is largely subconscious and rapid, writing is deliberate and slow. Over time, writers took advantage of this and started crafting long-winded sentences such as this one: "The whole engagement lasted above 12 hours, till the gradual retreat of the Persians was changed into a disorderly flight, of which the shameful example was given by the principal leaders and..." No one talks like that casually—or should. But it is natural to desire to do so for special occasions. In the old days, we didn"t much write like talking because there was no mechanism to repro-duce the speed of conversation. But texting and instant messaging do—and a revolution has begun. It involves the crude mechanics of writing, but in its economy, spontaneity and even vulgarity, texting is actually a new kind of talking, with its own kind of grammar and conventions. Take LOL. It doesn"t actually mean "laughing out loud" in a literal sense anymore. LOL has evolved into something much subtler and sophisticated and is used even when nothing is remotely amusing. Jocelyn texts "where have you been?" and Annabelle texts back "LOL at the library studying for two hours." LOL signals basic empathy (同感) between texters, easing tension and creating a sense of equality. Instead of having a literal meaning, it does something—conveying an attitude— just like the -ed ending conveys past tense rather than "meaning" anything. LOL, of all things, is grammar. Of course no one thinks about that consciously. But then most of communication operates with-out being noticed. Over time, the meaning of a word or an expression drifts—meat used to mean any kind of food, silly used to mean, believe it or not, blessed. Civilization, then, is fine—people banging away on their smartphones are fluently using a code

大学英语六级分类模拟题488 (总分339.5,考试时间90分钟) Part Ⅰ Writing 1. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled "Mass Media and Celebrities". You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words following the outline given below. Write your essay on Answer Sheet 1. 1．名人隐私成为大众传媒的焦点 2．过度关注名人隐私的弊端 3．大众传媒应该如何做 Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension Section A Can societies be rich and green? A. "If our economies are to flourish, if global poverty is to be eliminated and if the well-being of the world"s people enhanced—not just in this generation but in succeeding generations—we must make sure we take care of the natural environment and resources on which our economic activity depends." That **es not, as you might imagine, from a stereotypical tree-hugging, save-the-worldgreenie(环保主义者), but from Gordon Brown, a politician with a reputation for rigour, thoroughness and above all, caution. B. A surprising thing for the man who runs one of the world"s most powerful economies to say? Perhaps; though in the run-up to the five-year review of theMillennium(千年的) Goals, he is far from alone. The roots of his speech, given in March at the roundtable meeting of environment and energy ministers from the G20 group of nations, stretch back to 1972, and the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm. C. "The protection and improvement of the human environment is a major issue which affects the well-being of peoples and economic development throughout the world," read the final declaration from this gathering, the first of a sequence which would lead to the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992 and the World Development Summit in Johannesburg three years ago. D. Hunt through the reports prepared by UN agencies and development groups—many for conferences such as this year"s Millennium Goals review—and you will find that the linkage between environmental protection and economic progress is a common thread. E. Managing ecosystems sustainably is more profitable than exploiting them, according to the
