Passage 1

Oceanography has been defined as ―The application of all sciences to the study of the sea

the nineteenth century ,scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between.

Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings ,but he was reluctant to

go to sea to further his work.

For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or

others who earned a living from the sea ,there was little reason to ask many questions about it ,let

alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question ‖what is at the bo the oceans? ‖had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a

telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth

profile of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.

It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for

information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages

during which soundings were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific

Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical

Geography of the Sea.

The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the

early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in

living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the

deeper parts of the sea.

Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition,

which lasted four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification

and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being

published in 1895.

1、The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies

take on ____________________.

A) an academic aspect B) a military aspect

C) a business aspect D) an international aspect

2、It was _______________________that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.

A) the American Navy B) some early intercontinental travelers

C) those who earned a living from the sea

D) the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable

3、The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840 was_______________

A) to make some sounding experiments in the oceans

B) to collect sample of sea plants and animals

C) to estimate the length of cable that was needed

D) to measure the depths of the two oceans

4、”Defied”in the 5th paragraph probably means “_________________”

A) doubted B) gave proof to C) challenged D) agreed to

5、This passage is mainly about_________________

A) the beginnings of oceanography B) the laying of the first undersea cable

B) the investigation of ocean depths D) the early intercontinental communications

Passage 1 (The original text translating )

海洋学的定义是“庆用所有的科学来研究海洋”

１９世纪以前，极少有科学家对研究海洋感兴趣，当然，牛顿在他的作品中对海洋做了一些

理论方面的探讨，但他并不情愿自己去海边作进一步的研究。

对大多数人来说，海洋是遥远的，除了早期穿越洲际的旅行家们以及依靠海洋维持生计的人，

几乎找不出理由要提出关于海洋的问题，更不会问海洋表面下还有些什么东西。人们第一次必须回答“海洋底部是什么？”（１）这个问题是有商业上的后果的，当时有人提议要铺设

一条从欧洲到美洲的电报缆线。工程师们必须了解路线的纵深起伏形状，才可以估计需要制造多长的电缆。

（２）由于美国海军的莫里（Maury），大西洋电报公司才在１８５３年得到了这方面的信

息。１９世纪４０年代，（３）莫里负责推动进行测探工作的海上航行，以此来调查北大西

洋与太平洋的深度。此后，他出了一本叫做《海洋的自然地貌》的书，在这本书里他提到的

一些发现激起了人们很大的兴趣。

人们铺设了电缆，但直到１８６６年，才有了固定而且可靠的连接。在早期的努力中，电缆坏了，而当它被拉出来维修时，人们发现其表面覆盖着（４）活的生物。这一事实挑战了当

时的一种科学观点，即海洋较深层是不存在生命的。

海洋学在此后几年内发展起来。１８７２年，汤姆森（Thomson），带头进行了一项科学考察，历时４年，从海洋带回了数以千计的标本。科学家们花了数年时间将它们分类并进行分析，写出了一个长达五卷的报告，其中最后一卷于１８９５年出版。

１、从欧洲到美洲铺设电报缆线的提议使得海洋学研究是从_______出发的

Ａ）学术角度Ｂ）军事角度Ｃ）商业角度Ｄ）国际角度

２、向莫里要求得到海洋学研究方面帮助的是____________

Ａ）美国海军Ｂ）一些早期的穿越大洲的旅行家

Ｃ）依靠海洋维持生计的人Ｄ）提议铺设一条海底电缆的公司

３、１９世纪４０年代，莫里负责的海上航行的目的是要____________

Ａ）在海上进行测探实验Ｂ）收集海洋动植物的标本

Ｃ）估测所需电缆的长度Ｄ）测量两个海洋的深度

４、第五段的“field ”一词可能的意思是___________

Ａ）置疑Ｂ）证明Ｃ）挑战Ｄ）同意

５、这一段文章主要是关于____________

Ａ）海洋学的起步Ｂ）第一条海底电缆的铺设

Ｃ）对海洋深度的研究Ｄ）早期的洲际交流

大学英语四级阅读理解（1）We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(把......按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning. In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyse and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every

大学英语四级真题-翻译

今年考的三套翻译题均是跟中国的公共交通相关的内容，介绍了公交车、飞机、地铁服务的提升，以及市民生活水平的提高。展现了我国社会的发展和人民幸福水平的提升。 交通方式这一话题是考生日常所熟知的，也比较贴近考生的生活，词汇对于考生来说不是问题，“公交车”、“航空”等都是小学初中就接触到的词汇，但是需要考生去积累一些组合词汇，例如：“私家车private car”、“老年市民senior citizens”等。 对段落内容的理解也不是难事，毕竟交通方式是生活中老生常谈的话题，主要的难点在于一些固定的句式和搭配，例如“随着经济的发展和人民生活水平的提高”是考生耳熟能详的“万金油”句式。 诸如此类句式还有：“曾是……used to be…”、“越来越……more and more…”这些表达应该是考生在平时的学习中慢慢积累的。 此外，时态语态也是考生容易出错的点，由于汉语和英语表达习惯的不同，汉语中不常用被动，或者即使表达被动的意思也不会体现在句式上，例如：“公交车设施不断更新”，从字面并没有任何提示是被动，但语义的理解却带有被动的含义，翻译成英语时一定要体现出“be+过去分词”的结构。 又如“许多城市……一直努力……”,需要判断，这个动作发生在过去的某个时间节点，一直持续，并还可能持续下去，最后确定此处应选用现在完成进行时，在平时的学习中，应理解每种时态对应的情况，才能更加贴切地表达出原文所要传达的意思 句子的语序调整仍值得考生注意。时间状语、地点状语、原因状语、目的状语和方式状语仍然是重要的考点，一般情况下都要后置。 其次是句型的变化。注意运用被动语态(从中英文语用习惯以及动词发出者的逻辑主语去改句子)、插入语(例如，“包括许多农民和外出务工人员”)、there be 句型(非人主语+有/存在。例如，中国有越来越多的城市开始建设地铁)和It为形式主语的句子(例如，乘飞机出行对大多数中国人来说是难以想象的)进行改句，防止句式单一。 过去，乘飞机出行对大多数中国人来说是难以想象的。 In the past, travelling by airplane was unimaginable for most Chinese.

3 大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案（四） 十六 Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , fortunately,the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of obergrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way. First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseaed or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air. One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but itis a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the desease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hurs and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts yu make will bleed. If this does happen,it is, of course,impossible to paint them properly. 1.Pruning should be done to ______. a.make the tree grow taller

2020年大学英语四级翻译试题及答案 首先，我们看一下大纲里面对四级翻译的要求。四级翻译要求“考生在30分钟内将题材熟悉、语言难度较低的汉语段落译成英语。内容涉及中国的文化、历史及社会发展，长度为140-160个汉字，分值比例为15%。译文基本准确地表达原文意思，语言通顺，句式和用词较为恰当，能运用基本的翻译策略。” 英语四级和英语六级很大的不同点是，英语六级大纲会把“语言难度较低”改成中等难度，这也是老师命题时的不同点。“内容涉及中国文化、历史、社会发展”，我们同学在复习四级翻译的时候，只需要找到跟一个国家、一个对象相关的题材就可以了，那就是“中国”。它里面可能涉及到美国、澳大利亚、英国，但是我们最终篇章主体一定是跟中国相关的。不管考哪个话题，话题终归就两个大类，一是文化历史类，二是社会发展类。在这两个大类之下，我们又会考到不同的题，这是我们同学分析四六级翻译时要注意的，你们应该有意识地积累一些，比如自行车、交通工具、移动支付、共享单车等等跟社会时事相关的单词。我们只需要把意思翻译到位就可以了，这是四级题型的特点。 目前了解到今天的篇章，一是与手机相关，人越来越离不开手机;二是移动支付，移动支付便捷点在什么地方，给我们生活带来什么变化，可能会和其他支付方式对比，现金这个词你要会写，信用卡也要会写。我们复习翻译的时候要把常见的话题词汇熟悉一下。 今天的篇章难度和跟6月份考交通工具持平，难度波动不大，话题越来越紧跟时事热点，比如智能手机、移动支付、还有去年的交通。我们现在翻译考试越来越趋向于写作。在写作过程中，开头描述一个现实情况的时候，我们会用到一些模板句，“随着科技的发展，人工智能的发展，我们的生活变得怎么样”，现在我们四六级翻译考试也呈现出类似中文的特点，这是后期同学复习过程中需要掌握的问题。
