Part III Reading Comprehension (30 points)
Section A
Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.
At age 17, as a senior in high school, Kavita Shukla filed for her second patent: a piece of paper that would transform how food is stored and kept fresh. Ten years later, her product is being used in 35 countries, has been called "the 36 paper" and was recently launched in Whole Foods. Fresh Paper is infused with organic spices that inhibit 37 and fungal growth; when stored with produce, it can keep food fresh two to four times longer than normal--like refrigeration without electricity. The spice mixture comes from an old family recipe passed along by Shukla's grandmother, who once gave it to her after she 38 drank tap water on a visit to India. "Drink this and you won't get sick," she was told.
On Friday, Shukla was joined onstage at the Women in the World Summit in New York by Rula Jebreal, a 39 and foreign-policy expert at MSNBC (微软全国有线广播电视公司). Jebreal lamented the fact that while the world's farmers actually produce enough food to feed the world's hungry, 13 billion tons of food are lost annually to spoilage. What's more, some 1.6 billion people currently living without40 to refrigeration struggle to keep their diets healthy. Shukla's company, Fenugreen, which she started in 2010,41 these people, along with food banks and small-scale farmers. "For so many people, this was about so much more than a piece of paper," she said. "It was about empowerment. "
Jebreal praised a low-tech solution in an era when many 42 are relying on high-tech innovation."What if I had 43 it as too simple?" Shukla asked. "Simple ideas are the ones that have the power to change things.., and they have the power to 44 " For Fresh Paper, simplicity meant accessibility, which was key to 45 the product reached anyone who could benefit from it. As the discussion drew to a close, Shukla reminded inventors everywhere that complicated isn't always better: "Don't ever discount your own simple idea."
Section B
Why the Super-Rich Aren?t Leaving Much of Their fortunes to Their Kids
A)What do Sting, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have in common? All three have huge fortunes, and none of them are giving
them to their kids. Sting just revealed that most of his $300 million would not end up with his six adult children. The musician said that he certainly didn?t want to leave them trust funds that are obstacles round their necks. “They have to
work. All my kids know that and they rarely ask me for anything, which I really respect and appreciate.”
B)Bill and Melinda Gates are giving a reported ＄76 billion. Buffett?s three kids each have a $2 billion foundation funded by
Dear Old Dad. The rest of his money goes to charity, just like Gates and several other billionaires who have invested their vast fortunes in improving the world. As Buffett famously put it, the perfect amount to leave children is “enough money so that they would feel they could do anything, but not so much that they could do nothing.”
C)All those spoiled rich kids with more money than sense won?t make smart choices or live healthy, productive lives if they
have unlimited access to the money they inherit. Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson has stated she has no intention of leaving a substantial inheritance:”I am determined that my children should have no financial security. It ruins people not having to earn money.”
D)Wealthy families have always struggled with this issue.But the same drama is now playing out on a smaller scale for
millions of baby boomers(婴儿潮时期出生的人),who hesitate to give away $30 trillion over the next 30 years----the largest transfer of wealth in American history. What used to be a private family matter has become a public discussion about wealth,privilege and personal responsibility. Who gets the big money? Should it be the heirs? Or are they better off without it?
E)“We probably struggled over this more than any other issue,”says a local self-made multimillionaire.The businessman and
his wife, worth hundreds of millions, grew up modestly in middle-class families and wanted to create a financial plan that would take care of their children—but not spoil them—if the couple died suddenly.”We were fearful of what might happen if they had control of a large amount of money at a young age,”he says. “The more we stared at that,the more we became uncomfortable.”
F)Inspired by Buffett?s example, they created trusts for each of their now college-age children.Each kid has $2.5 million
controlled by trustees, who can release money only for education, health care, a home purchase or a business start-up. Any unspent money in the trust will continue to be invested and grow. Those restrictions remain in place until each child reaches age 40; after that, the money is all theirs to do as they please. By 40,their parents assume they will be mature enough to use the money wisely or save it as a safety net. The rest of the multimillion-dollar family fortune is going to a foundation, which will eventually be managed by the children and can be used only for charity. The kids are aware of the trusts and the planning that went into them. “They really are thrilled with it,”their father says.”They want to be their own persons .” A huge inheritance, he believes, can be a lifelong trap for children of rich parents. ”I didn?t want them to look in the mirror and say, …Who am I??”
G)Whether having so much money is good or bad for trust-fund babies depends on how the family has prepared the kids, their
personal qualities and how well they handle the pressures of great wealth and the fear of not inheriting. For every party girl like Paris Hilton, there?s an Ivanka Trump, who got a business degree from Wharton and has made her family?s money and famous name valuable into a prosperous career. Johnson used his inheritance to launch a film making career and to live, all things considered, a relatively normal life in New York.”In my case,it turned out to be a great benefit,”he says.
H)Most parents want to protect their children from the dark excesses of money—drugs, legal troubles,and so on—and
preserve the family fortune for future generations. That usually doesn?t work out: The first generation makes the money, the second spends the majority of it, and the third drains the rest. Hence the old saying goes like “Shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations.”Traditionally, the wealthy gave all their money to their children and grandchildren, and then hoped for the best. Baby boomers, says consulting firm Accenture managing director Bob Gach, are living longer and struggling to balance their own retirement needs and interests with their children?s welfare. Boomers are different from previous generations: more likely to give away money while they?re still alive, more concerned about their adult children finding and keeping jobs. Excess properties typically go into tax-protected trusts.
I)There are really good reasons to leave a legacy(遗产) in a thoughtful way-ways that promote the production and healthy
lifestyles. Many trusts are structured to distribute inheritances at the specific ages determined in advance. A common practice is to give a third at 25, a third at 30 and the rest at 35. Some inheritances are set up encourage the heirs to graduate from college, marry or hold a job for a specific amount of years before any money will be released.
J) A lot of people don?t like to talk about money because they don?t want the kids to know how much they?re actually worth or what they might inherit. Although adult children in the United States have no legal rights to their parents? money, it?s rare for heirs to get cut off with nothing. But that doesn?t mean they get everything. Bill Gates, the world?s richest man, won?t disclose the exact amount each of his three kids will inherit, but he said they?ll get an “unbelievable” education and health care and the reported $10 million, which still puts them firmly in the One Percent—but not even close to their self-made father?s billions. For that, they?ll have to found their own empire. In terms of their income, they will have to pick a job they like and go to work.
46. If rich kids are well cultivated and prepared for the trust fund, it will be beneficial to their future.
47. A great many wealthy people tend to keep the amount of their possessions secret from their children.
48. Sting felt satisfied that all his children seldom requested anything from him and earned their living by themselves.
49. Traditionally, once you make a big fortune and it is spent within three generations, the family will lose it all.
50. How to deal with the big property has turned into a public concern instead of a private issue.
51. The inheritance is commonly given out in portions at a certain age of the heirs decided in advance.
52. If an abundant inheritance is at the disposal of spoiled rich children, they won?t choose or lead their lives wisely.
53. Baby boomers having longer life spans care both about their retirement requirements and about their kids? well-being.
54. A local businessman from rags to riches and his wife established a detailed plan about their hundreds of millions of money for their children.
55. Several billionaires have devoted a large sum of money to making the world better and better.
Section C
Passage One
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
For years, high school students have received identical textbooks as their classmates. Even as students have different learning styles and abilities, they are force-fed the same materials. “Imagine a digital textbook where because I?m a different person and learn differently, my book is different than your book,”said Richard Baraniuk, founder of OpenStax.
OpenStax will spend two years developing the personalized books and then test them on Houston-area students. The books will also go through a review and evaluation process similar to traditional textbooks. Baraniuk expects 60 people to review each book before publication to ensure its quality.
The idea is to make learning easier, so students can go on to more successful careers and lives. Baraniuk isn?t just reproducing physical textbooks on digital devices, a mistake e-book publishers have made. He?s seriously rethinking that the educational experience should be in a world of digital tools. To do this means involving individuals with skills traditionally left out of the textbook business. Baraniuk is currently hiring cognitive scientists and machine learning experts. Baraniuk wants to use the tactics(策略)of Google, Netflix and Amazon to deliver a personalized experience. These Web services all rely on complex algorithms(算法)to automatically adjust their offerings for customers.
Just as Netflix recommends different movies based on your preferences and viewing history, a textbook might present materials at a different pace. The textbook—which will be stored on a range of digital devices—will automatically adjust itself thanks to machine learning. As a student learns about a topic, he or she could be interrupted bu brief quizzes that evaluate whether he or she masters the area.Depending on how the student does, the subject could be reinforced with more material. Or a teacher could be automatically e-mailed that the student is struggling with a certain concept and could use some one-on-one attention.
This personalized learning experience is possible thanks to the wealth of data a digital textbook can track. This data can be used to better track students? progress during a course.Parents and teachers can monitor a student?s development and provide in time more proper assistance. With personalized learning methods,our students? talents will be better developed.
56. What do we learn about personalized books?
A) Their quality will be ensured since they are developed by OpenStax.
B) They will be examined and judged before being published.
C) They will overlook different learning styles and abilities.
D) They will be much similar to traditional textbooks.?
57. In which aspect have e-book publishers done incorrectly?
A) They have only put emphasis on learning experience.
B) They have made it difficult to have access to e-book.
C) They have made it rather boring and inconvenient to learn.
D) They have just produced an electronic copy of print textbooks.
58. What does Richard Baraniuk mean by “the educational experience should be in a world of digital tools ” (Line3,Para.3)?
A) Education should employ the machine to improve learning.
B) Education should involve traditional textbooks in the digital world.
C) Education should include obtaining skills by the use of machine learning.
D) Education should reproduce traditional textbooks on the Web services.
59. Personalized textbook is beneficial to the students because________.
A) it stores the fixed material on different digital machines
B) it quizzes the students to make them more confident.
C) it automatically presents movies based on the students? preference
D) it automatically matches learning material to the students? needs
60. Personalized learning experience may become possible owing to ________.
A) a great many digital equipments
B) the students? continuous progress
C) a great amount of digital information
D) parents? and teachers? constant watch
Passage Two
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
Knowing that you are paid less than your peers has two effects on happiness. One is negative:a thinner pay packet hurts self-esteem(自尊).The other is called the”tunnel”effect:the income gap is seen as improving your own chances of similar riches.
A paper co-authored by Felix FitzRoy of the University of St. Andrews separates the two effects using data from household surveys in Germany. Previous work showed that the income of others can have a small, or even positive, overall effect on employees? satisfaction in individual firms in Denmark or in very dynamic economies,such as Eastern Europe. But Mr.FitzRoy?s team proposed that older workers, who largely know their lifetime incomes already, will enjoy a much smaller tunnel effect. The negative effect on reported levels of happiness of being paid less than your peers is not visible for people aged under 45.In western Germany, seeing peers? incomes rising actually makes young people happier. It is only those people over 45, when careers have “reached a stable position”, whose happiness is harmed by the success of others.
The prospect of more than 20 years of hard work might make retirement seem more attractive. Those with jobs are no happier after they retire, however,perhaps because their lives already agree with social expectations. Unemployment is known to damage happiness because not working falls short of social expectations. Pensions or increased leisure time can not make up for the loss of social acceptance, Unemployed people are dissatisfied with their life not only because they have lower incomes, but also because they may get low and negative recognition from others.
Indeed, retiring early from work can have side-effects. Another paper, co-authored by Andreas Kuhn of the University of Zurich, investigates the effect of a change in Austrian employment-insurance rules that allow blue-collar workers earlier retirement in some regions than others. Men retiring a year early lower their chance of surviving to age 67 by 13%. Almost a third of this higher death rate seemed to be concentrated among those who were forced into early retirement by job loss. The death was caused by smoking and alcohol consumption. If you?re in a job, even when you are paid less, hang on in there.
61. One of the effects of lower pay than your peers? is that_____.
A) it can motivate you to struggle for a similar salary
B) it can inspire you to argue with your manager
C) it may make you feel proud of your peers.
D) it may force you to quit your current work
62. What can be concluded from the previous study?
A) The economic development of Eastern Europe is rather static.
B) People feel satisfied with Denmark?s economic development.
C) The income of others has a positive effect in Germany?s individual corporations.
D) The income of others affects employees? contentment in Denmark?s private firms.
63. What does Felix FitzRoy?s team infer from the data from household surveys?
A) Older people feel thankful for working in a stable environment.
B) Young people feel unpleasant about being paid less than peers.
C) The success of peers exerts a negative impact on people over 45.
D) Young workers under 45 appreciate a much smaller tunnel effect.
64. Unemployment is harmful to happiness because________.
A) retirement is attractive and keeps people away from hard work
B) not working may mean a failure to maintain social recognition
C) jobless people only depend on their pensions for a living
D) people after retirement still live up to social expectations
65. According to Andreas Kuhn?s investigation, which of the following is a negative effect of early retirement?
A) People compelled into early retirement tend to smoke and drink.
B) Blue collars in Austria are willing to withdraw from their work.
C) Retiring early increases the possibility of living over 67.
D) people should hold on to their jobs even being paid less.

Qu Yuan was a loyal and highly esteemed minister, who brought peace and prosperity to the state but ended up drowning himself in a river as a result of being vilified.People got to the spot by boat and cast glutinous dumplings into the water,hoping that the fishes ate the dumplings instead of Qu Yuan's body.

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。

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. Passage One Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. Young Koreans are beginning to do it alone when it comes to finding a partner, though matchmaking is still the most common way for boys to meet girls. Professional matchmakers can make thousands of American dollars by introducing suitable marriage partners to each other, but parents also play a role in the process during which young Koreans meet. In Confucius Korea, where marriage is regarded as more of a business contract than a scared thing, the scene of the first meeting is repeated hundreds of times a day in coffee shops in the main hotels around Seoul. The business of continuing the family lineage (血统) and keeping the bloodlines pure is often too important to be left to romance and chance encounters. Often, the girl will work out a system of secret signals with her mother, form which her parents can tell if she is interested.

翻译练习 1． 春节是是中国的农历新年。在中国的传统节日中，这是一个最重要、最热闹的节日。中国人过春节有很多传统习俗。除夕之夜，是家人团聚的时候。一家人围坐在一起，吃一顿丰盛的年夜饭(New Year’s Eve dinner)，说说笑笑，直到天亮，这叫守岁（staying up to see the year out）。除夕零点的钟声一响，人们还要吃饺子。从初一开始，人们要走亲戚、看朋友，互相拜年（greet each other）。拜年，是春节的重要习俗。放爆竹（set off firecrackers）是春节期间孩子们最喜欢的活动。传说燃放爆竹可以驱妖除魔（drive off evil spirits）。 2． 农历八月十五（the 15th day of the eighth lunar month），是中国的传统节日中秋节（Mid-Autumn Festival）。这天晚上，天上的月亮又圆又亮。人们把圆月看作团圆美满的象征，所以中秋节又被称为“团圆节”( Festival for Reunion)。按照传统习惯，中国人要一边赏月(admire the moon) 一边品尝月饼。因为月饼是圆的，象征着团圆，所以有的地方叫它“团圆饼”。秋天，人们一年的劳动有了收获。中秋节的晚上，全家人坐在一起赏月、吃月饼，心里充满了丰收(bumper harvest) 的喜悦和团聚的欢乐。这时，远离家乡的人们也会仰望明月，思念故乡和亲人。 3． 英语中的“china”一词有两个意义，一个是中国，一个是瓷（porcelain）。西方人很早就把中国与瓷器联系在一起，这是因为瓷器是中国人发明的。瓷器是从陶器(pottery) 发展来的，如果从生产原始瓷器的商代（Shang Dynasty）算起，中国的瓷器大约有三千多年的历史了。江西景德镇被称为中国的“瓷都”(the Capital of Porcelain）。中国瓷器不仅是精美的日用品，也是珍贵的艺术品。自汉唐（Han and Tang dynasties）以来，中国瓷器就大量销往国外，中国的制瓷技术也逐渐传遍世界各地。

翻译大纲样题： 中国新年是中国最重要的传统节日，在中国也被称为春节。Chinese New Year, known as Spring Festival in China, is the most important one among all traditional Chinese festival.新年的庆祝活动从除夕开始 一直延续到元宵节(the Lantern Festival)，即从农历(lunar calendar)最后一个月的最后一天至新年第一个月的第十五天。New Year celebrations start on Chinese New Year’s Eve, the last day of the last month in Chinese lunar calendar, and last to the Lantern Festival, the 15th day of the first month (of the next year).各地欢度春节的习俗和传统有很大差异，但通常每个家庭都会在除夕夜团聚，一起吃年夜饭。Customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese New Year vary widely from
place to place. However, New Year’s Eve is usually an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner.为驱厄运、迎 好运，家家户户都会进行大扫除。人们 还会在门上粘贴红色的对联(couplets)，对联的主题为健康、发财 和好运。其他的活动还有放鞭炮、发红 包和探访亲友等。People also stick the red couplets on the door which topics are health, wealth, and fortune, and do other activities such as setting off firework, sending red envelopes, and visiting relatives and friends. 首先，这段关于中国春节的小文章 难词较多，比如“传统”、“庆祝活动”、“除夕”、“延续”、“习俗”、“年夜饭”、“厄运”、“大扫除”“主题”、“放鞭炮”、“发红包”等等， 这些词有的比较抽象，有的不太常见， 或者有的是中国特有的说法，英文中没
Translation 颐和园（the Summer Palace）是世界上建筑规模最大、保存最完整、文化内涵最丰富的皇家御苑，被誉为皇家园林博物馆。国内建筑吸收了中国各地建筑的精华。东部的宫殿区和内廷区，是典型的北方四合院（quadrangle）风格。南部的湖泊区是仿杭州西湖景色，一道西提（dyke）把湖泊一分为二，具有浓郁的江南情调；万寿山（Longevity Hill）的北面，是典型的西藏喇嘛庙宇（Tibetan lamasery）风格，有白塔及城堡式建筑；北部的苏州街，店铺林立，水道纵通（crisscrossing watercourses），又是典型的江南水乡风格。 The summer Palace is the largest and the best-preserved royal garden in the world with the richest cultural connotation，hence it is honored as a museum of royal gardens. The buildings in the palace are the architectural cream
from all parts of China. The administrative and residential areas in the east of the palace are typical of the quadrangle in northern China，where the enclosed courtyards are connected by various roofed causeways. The lake area in its south，however，is an imitation of West Lake of Hangzhou，where a dyke divides the lake in two，thus giving it an obvious touch of southern China landscape. On the north side of Longevity Hill，the scene is that of Tibetan lamasery，where stand white pagodas and buildings like blockhouses. And in the north，the Suzhou Market Street，with all kinds of shops and its crisscrossing watercourses，is again in the style of the waterscape in southern China.
全国大学英语四、六级考试改革方案（试行） 教高厅［2005］1号 大学英语教学改革是“高等学校教学质量与教学改革工程”的一项重要内容，2004年，教育部组织制定了《大学英语课程教学要求（试行）》。大学英语四、六级考试（以下简称四、六级考试）改革是大学英语教学改革的重要组成部分。全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会（以下简称考委会）和大学英语四、六级考试改革项目组在广泛听取多方意见的基础上，经过近一年的研究和论证，根据《大学英语课程教学要求（试行）》，制定本方案。 一、四、六级考试改革的指导思想、目标和原则 四、六级考试是为教学服务的标准化考试。考试改革的指导思想是在保持科学性、客观性和公正性的同时，使考试最大限度地对大学英语教学产生正面的导向作用，即：通过改革，引导师生正确处理教学与考试的关系，更合理地使用四、六级考试，使考试更好地为教学服务。考试改革的目标是更准确地测量我国在校大学生的英语综合应用能力，尤其是英语听说能力，以体现社会改革开放对我国大学生英语综合应用能力的要求。改革要按照前瞻性与可行性相结合、分步实施的原则进行，既有近期改革目标，又有中长期规划。 二、四、六级考试改革的措施 （一）全面改革计分体制和成绩报导方式 自2005年6月起，面向所有考生，四、六级考试成绩将采用满分为710分的计分体制，不设及格线；成绩报导方式由考试合格证书改为成绩报告单，即考后向每位考生发放成绩报告单，报导内容包括：总分、单项分等；为使学校理解考试分数的含义并根据各校的实际情况合理使用考试测量的结果，四、六级考试委员会将向学校提供四、六级考试分数的解释。 （二）考试内容改革 按照《大学英语课程教学要求（试行）》修订考试大纲，开发新题型，加大听力理解部分的题量和分值比例，增加快速阅读理解测试，增加非选择性试题的题量和分值比例。试行阶段的四、六级考试内容由四部分构成：听力理解、阅读理解、综合测试和写作测试。听力理解部分的比例提高到35%，其中听力对话占15%，听力短文占20%。听力对话部分包括短对话和长对话的听力理解；听力短文部分包括短文听写和选择题型的短文理解；听力题材选用对话、讲座、广播电视节目等更具真实性的材料。阅读理解部分比例调整为35%，其中仔细阅读部分（Careful Reading）占25%，快速阅读部分（Fast Reading）占10%。仔细阅读部分除测试篇章阅读理解外，还包括对篇章语境中的词汇理解的测试；快速阅读部分测试各种快速阅读技能。综合测试比例为15%，由两部分构成。第一部分为完型填空或改错，占10%；第二部分为短句问答或翻译，占5%。写作能力测试部分比例为15%，体裁包括议论文、说明文、应用文等。试行阶段四、六级考试各部分测试内容、题型和所占分值比例如下表所示：近期内，四、六级考试口语考试仍将与笔试分开实施，继续采用已经实施了五年的面试型的四、六级口语考试（CET-SET）。同时，考委会将积极研究开发计算机化口语测试，以进一步扩大口语考试规模，推动大学英语口语教学。 （三）考务管理体制改革 2005年6月起，教育部考试中心将启用新的四、六级考试报名和考务管理系统，严格认定考生报名资格，加强对考场组织和考风考纪的管理，切实做好考试保密工作。从2006
