Conversation 1:
M: Mary, I hope you're packed and ready to leave.
W: Yes, I’m packed, but not quite ready. I can’t find my passport.
M: Your passport? That’s the one thing you mustn’t leave behind.
W: I know. I haven’t lost it. I’ve packed it, but I can’t remember which bag it’s in.
M: Well, you have to find it at the airport. Come on, the taxi is waiting.
W: Did you say taxi? I thought we were going in your car.
M: Yes, well, I have planned to, but I’ll explain later. You’ve got to be there in an hour.
W: The plane doesn’t leave for two hours. Anyway, I’m ready to go now.
M: Now, you're taking just one case, is that right?
W: No, there is one in the hall as well.
M: Gosh, what a lot of stuff! You're taking enough for a month instead of a week.
W: Well, you can’t depend on the weather. It might be cold.
M: It’s never cold in Rome. Certainly not in May. Come on, we really must go.
W: Right, we're ready. We’ve got the bags, I’m sure there's no need to rush.
M: There is. I asked the taxi driver to wait two minutes, not twenty.
W: Look, I’m supposed to be going away to relax. You're making me nervous.
M: Well, I want you to relax on holiday, but you can’t relax yet.
W: OK, I promise not to relax, at least not until we get to the airport and I find my passport.

W: Oh, what is it? What do they want?
M: Wait a minute. Uh, here it is. The European Space Agency is recruiting translators.
W: The European Space Agency?
M: Well, that’s what it says. They need an English translator to work from French or German.
W: So they need a degree in Fren ch or German, I suppose. Well, I’ve got that. What’s more, I have plenty of experience. What else are they asking for?
M: Just that. A university degree and three or four years of experience as a translator in a professional environment. They also say the person should have a lively and inquiring mind, effective communication skills and the ability to work individually or as a part of the team.
W: Well, if I stay at my present job much longer, I won’t have any mind or skills left. By the way, what about salary? I just hope it isn’t lower than what I get now.

Passage 1:
There are three groups of English learners: beginners, intermediate learners, and learners of special English. Beginners need to learn the basics of English. Students who have reached an intermediate level benefit from learning general English skills. But what about student who want to learn specialist English for their work or professional life? Most students, who fit into this third group have a clear idea about what they want to learn. A bank clerk, for example, wants to use this specialist vocabulary and technical terms of finance. But for teachers, deciding how to teach specialist English is not always so easy. For a start, the variety is enormous. Every field from airline pilots to secretaries has its own vocabulary and technical terms. Teachers also need to have an up-to-date knowledge of that specialist language, and not many teachers are exposed to working environments outside the classroom. These issues have influenced the way specialist English is taught in schools. This type of course is usually known as English for Specific Purposes, or ESP and there isn't ESP courses for almost every area of professional and working life. In Britain, for example, there are courses which teach English for doctors, lawyers, reporters travel agents and people working in the hotel industry. By far, the most popular ESP courses are for business English.
Questions 11 to 14 are based on the passage you have just heard.
11. What is the characteristic of learners of special English?
12. Who needs ESP courses most?
13. What are the most popular ESP courses in Britain?
14. What is the speaker mainly talking about?

Passage 2:
The first step to stop drug abuse is knowing why people start to use drugs. The reasons people abuse drugs are as different as people are from one to another. But there seems to be one common thread: people seem to take drugs to change the way they feel. They want to feel better or feel happy or to feel nothing. Sometimes, they want to forget or to remember. People often feel better about themselves when they are under the influence of drugs. But the effects don't last long. Drugs don't solve problems. They just postpone them. No matter how far drugs may take you, it's always
around trip. After a while, people who miss drugs may feel worse about themselves, and then they may use more drugs. If someone you know is using or abusing drugs, you can help. The most important part you can play is to be there. You can let your friends know that you care. You can listen and try to solve the problem behind your friend's need to use drugs. Two people together can often solve a problem that seems too big for one person alone. Studies of heavy abusers in the United States show that they felt unloved and unwanted. They didn't have close friends to talk to. When you or your friends take the time to care for each other, you're all helping to stop drugs abuse. After all, what is a friend for?
Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.
15. Why do some people abuse drugs?
16. According to the passage, what is the best way to stop friends from abusing drugs?
17. What are the findings of the studies about heavy drug users?

Passage 3：
Bows and arrows, are one of man's oldest weapons. They gave early man an effective weapon to kill his enemies. The ordinary bow or short bow was used by early all early people. This bow bad limited power and short range. However, man overcame these faults by learning to track his targets at a close range. The long bow was most likely discovered when someone found out that a five-foot piece of wood made a better bow than a three-foot piece. Hundreds of thousands of these bows were made and used for three hundred years. However, not one is known to survive today. We believe that a force of about one hundred pounds was needs to pull the string all the way back on a long bow. For a long time the bow was just a bent stick and string. In fact, more changes have taken place in a bow in the past 25 years than in the last 7 centuries. Today, bow is forceful. It is as exact as a gun. In addition, it requires little strength to draw the string. Modern bows also have precise aiming devices. In indoor contests, perfect scores from 40 yard are common. The invention of the bows itself ranks with discovery of fire and the wheel. It was a great-step-forward for man. Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
18. Why did man have to track his target at a close range when using a short bow?
19. What does the passage tell us about the long bow?
20. What do we know about modern bows?

大学英语四六级写作体裁 1. Argumentation 2. Report 3. Caricature Writing 4. Proverb Commenting Argumentation 1. 文章的要求：On Students' Evalation of Teachers A:近年来，很多大学把学生对教师的评价纳入评估体系。B：就其利弊而言，人们之间存在争议。C: 你的看法。 On Students' Evaluation of Teachers With the reformation and development of higher education, many universities have gradually shifted their management from the traditional system of academic year to the system of credit, and from teacher-centered to student -centered teaching. As a result,teachers are now managed on the basis of students' evaluation, which has aroused heated disputes. Many people agree that students' opinion and appraisals are crucial to both the teaching process and the teacher-student relationship. For one thing, the teacher may reflect on his teaching, and then change accordingly.For another, mutual undersatnding is enhanced. However, many experts worry that some of the judgements are rather subjective, and even strongly biased. To make things worse, some students take it as a game--" anyway, my ideas do not count at all". Consequently, nobody will benefit from the valueless feedback. As far as I am concerned, students' views should be taken into consideration, but the views should not be taken as decisive factors when it comes to evaluating a teacher. The improvement of the mechanism requires the change of notion about teaching. We used to relate the evaluation to the employment of a teacher, but if we take advantage of the evaluation as a guide,it might be another story. Marriage upon Graduation 1. 越来越多的大学生一毕业就进入婚姻的殿堂。 2.产生这种现象的原因。 3. 我的看法。 A growing number of college students get married almost at the very moment of their graduation. As for this issue, we cannot help wondering what account for this trend. To begin with, there is no denying that the intensive employment competition is a major factor for this phenomenon. Getting married means the couple can support each other in the harsh environment and equally new couples can get the financial assistance from both families. Furthermore, compared to some instant marriages relying on web love or money worship, marriages upon graduation make a more romantic and reliable choice.

2 015年6月13日全国大学英语四级翻译真题及答案 大米 在西方人心目中，和中国联系最为密切的基本食物是大米。长期以来，大米在中国人的饮食中占据很重要的地位，以至于有谚语说“巧妇难为无米之炊”。中国南方大多数种植水稻，人们通常以大米为食；而华北大部分地区因为过于寒冷或过于干燥，无法种植水稻，那里的主要作物是小麦。在中国，有些人用面粉做面包，但大多数人用面粉做馒头和面条。 In the mind of Westerners,Chinese people have the closest connection to rice,basic food for the Chinese.For a long time,rice occupies a very important position in the Chinese diet.There is even a saying that "even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice".People in south China plant and live on rice,while people in the most parts of North China cannot plant rice due to excessively dry and cold weather. The main crop there is wheat. In China, some people use flour to bake bread,while most people make steamed bread and noodles with flour. xx 中国是世界上最古老的文明之一。构成现代世界基础的许多元素起源于中国。中国现在拥有世界上发展最快的经济，并正经历着一次新的工业革命。中国还启动了雄心勃勃的太空探索计划，其中包括到20年建成的一个太空站。目前，中国是世界最大的出口国之一，并正在吸引大量外国投资。同时，它也在海外投资数十亿美元。2011年，中国超越日本成为世界第二大经济体。 快递 据报道，今年中国快递服务（courier service）将递送大约120亿件包裹。这将使中国有可能超越美国成为世界上最大的快递市场。大多数包裹里装着网上订购的物品。中国给数百万在线零售商以极具竞争力的价格销售商品的机会。仅在11月11日，中国消费者就从国内最大的购物平台购买了价值90亿美元的商品。中国有不少这样的特殊购物日。因此，快递业在中国扩展就不足为奇了。

二、口语考试注意事项 PETS口试是由三节组成的，在第一节考试中，互动交际是在主考官和两位考生之间进行的。一开始，主考官与考生要相互打招呼并进行简单的介绍。 主考官在从考生手中索回登分卡后，询问考生的姓名，有时可能还要问他的姓名怎样拼写或全名怎样拼写。也许，在某些考生的眼中，他们会认为这是多余问题，在此，特别要向考生说明一下，这类问题不多余，原因如下： 第一，主考官所提出的问题都是按照大纲上的要求进行的，一般说来，主考官的问话不能偏离考试大纲。 第二，让考生说出姓名、拼写名字，可以初步观察考生对问题的反应能力、发音情况以及英语的熟练流利程度。 第三，为缓和考试气氛，通过提问这种熟悉常见的问题，可以逐渐把话题过渡到口语考试的内容上。 另外，在第一节考试中，按照考试的程序，考生应该做到问什么，回答什么，考生一般不宜过于主动。有些考生当主考只问了一个问题的时候，就一口气回答了很多涉及下面即将要回答的问题。这样，一来打乱了考试的提问步骤，二来容易使人觉得好像是在背诵事先准备好的东西。在第一节考试中，有发挥性的问题供考生发表意见。如有关Leisure话题中，有这样的问题：“Is there anywhere you would particularly like to visit？ Why？”对于这道问题，考生可根据自己的情况说：“Yes， there is.”或“No， there isn't.”在主考询问“Why？”之后，考生便可进行自由发挥，但也不宜过长，因为考试的时间是有限的。 在考试中，考生应注意的是，要根据提问的问题，从条理性、逻辑上去组织语言，所谈的内容尽可能切题达意，不说与题无关的话，不说意义不明显的话，不说前言不搭后语的话，条理与连贯在考试中显得比较重要。如果一时语塞或想不起确切的表达方式，千万不要缄口不语，而是应该适当运用前面所说的“填空词”（mouth-filling phrases 或 hesitation fillers），如“mm，um，err，well， I mean， I think，you see， you know， how shall I put it”等。适时运用这类填空词，表明发言人还在积极地思索与考虑，马上就会继续讲话，从而避免令人尴尬的冷场局面。 在第二节活动中，互动交际是在两位考生之间进行的。主考老师只是负责向考生交代要求然后就退让一旁，然后观察考生之间进行合作交流的表面情况。在第二节口试活动中，考生应该注意以下3点： 第一，不要把主考官当成交流对象，讲话时应对着自己的搭档而不是对着主考官。 第二，此节活动是讨论，要求考生发言机会均等，故不要将此节考试引向一种单纯的一人提问、一人回答的局面。讨论应该在两位考生之间进行，对所讨论的问题，无论是赞同还是反对，或者另有见解，都应该以你一言我一语的形式进行。切忌一个人长时间地讲而另一个人长时间地听。若出现这种局面，听者应该以得体的交际语言予以中止、打断。类似“I'm sorry， I have to interrupt you.”；“Excuse me， what did you say just now？”；“I'm afraid I have to stop you， but……”这样的话语，考生应该掌握。若在本节讨论活动中，一方发言已毕，而另一方仍沉默不语。类似“This is my point of view. What do you think of it？”；“Can you tell me something about it？”；“Do you agree with me or do you disagree with me？”；“What's your opinion？”这样的话语，可以鼓励对方开口，从而形成良好的“你来我往”的讨论局面。总之，考生应把握本节的重点，积极主动、有效地在考生之间进行交流。双方都应该对会话中的“轮换体系”敏感，保证“每次至少有一方在说话”。在第二节活动中，考生应礼
