Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
With fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps (垃圾堆) would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.
The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This
plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.
Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: First, it will pass through sharp metal bas which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that grounders and rollers will break up everything that can be broken. Finally, the rubbish will pass under magnets (磁铁), which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.
The first full-scale giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.
21. The phrase “be well on with...” (Para. 1, Line 1) most probably means ________.
A) have completed what was started B) get ready to start
C) have achieved a great deal in D) put an end to
22. What is NOT mentioned as a part of the recycling process described in Paragraph 3?
A) Breaking up whatever is breakable.
B) Sharpening metal bars.
C) Separating light elements from the heavy ones.
D) Sorting out small pieces of metal.
23. What’s the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?
A) To deal with wastes in better way.
B) To protect the environment from pollution.
C) To get raw materials locally.
D) To get big profits from those plants.
24. The first full-scale huge recycling plants ________.
A) began to operate fifteen years ago
B) will probably take less than fifteen years to build
C) will be built fifteen years later
D) will probably be in operation in fifteen years
25. The passage is mainly about ________.
A) a cheap way to get energy B) the location of recycling plants
C) new ways of recycling wastes D) the probably of city environment
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
By 1970, according to a World Wildlife Fund report, only about 4,500 tigers survived throughout the world-half of them in India. Mr. Foresters, who followed and counted tiger footprints, estimated that in May 1972 only about 1,800 tigers existed in India. Project Tiger Supported by W. W. F. was immediately launched. Nine tiger reserves were created, with armed guards protecting them.
The project provided opportunities for researchers from India and abroad to study tigers in the reserves and gather previously unavailable information about their habits. Studies show that a male tiger may control a hunting territory of between 10 and 20 sq.kms, depending on its age, size and strength. The territory of male includes the smaller territories of three or four tigresses. A tiger marks the boundaries of its territories by spraying urine (尿) and other bodily liquids on bushes. But it tries to avoid territorial fights, being guided by the distinctive body smell of other tigers. Tigers fight to death only when a tigress is defending her young, or when a tiger is guarding a tigress from the attentions of other males.
The popular image of the tiger is that of a merciless and unconquerable hunter. But studies show that it catches only one of 20 victims (牺牲品) it tries to attack.
Fears have recently developed that Project Tiger has been too successful. It has enabled the tiger population to double (by mid-80s), but India’s human population has also grown out of control. Currently it is 750 million and likely to be 900 million by the end of the century. Land problem is becoming serious and many rural people feel bitter about the fact that some rich forests are reserved for tigers. A growing number of attacks by tigers on man has added to the hostility (敌意).
26. The ultimate aim of Project Tiger is to ________.
A) study the growth rate of tigers
B) protect tigers from being killed
C) promote the breeding of young tigers
D) analyze the behavioral patterns of tigers
27. Studies have shown that ________.
A) a tigress never attacks until attacked
B) the tigress is not as fierce as the tigers
C) a tiger usually fights another tiger to defend its own territory
D) the tiger is not an efficient hunter as is commonly described
28. According to the passage, a tiger’s territory ________.
A) remains unchanged
B) is often defended by tigresses
C) expands as the tiger grows up
D) is the cause of most fights
29. Some people are afraid that Project Tiger ________.
A) has been carried too far
B) has not received enough attention
C) has failed to achieve its goal
D) is not worth the money spent on it
30. The author seems ________.
A) to be enthusiastic about Project Tiger
B) to have a matter-of-fact attitude towards Project Tiger
C) to have a hostile attitude towards Project Tiger
D) to be satisfied with Project Tiger
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing U.S. minority (少数民族). As their children began moving up through the nation’s schools, it became clea r that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.
Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian Culture that breeds success, such ideals that stress family values and
emphasize education.
Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial (种族的) image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants (移民) were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.
31. While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students ________.
A) feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English
B) are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian character
C) still worry about unfair treatment in society
D) generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents
32. What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?
A) A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian Americans?
B) Hard work and intelligence.
C) Parental help and a limited knowledge of English.
D) Asian culture and the American educational system.
33. Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because ________.
A) their English is not good enough
B) they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgement in these areas
C) there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures
D) they know little about American cultures and Western cultures
34. Why do th e two “explanations” (Para. 3, Line 1) worry Asian Americans?
A) They are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in general.
B) People would think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.
C) Asian American would be a threat to other minorities.
D) American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character.
35. The author’s tone in this passage is ________.
A) sympathetic B) doubtful C) critical D) objective
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers, good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the
contrary, just as the cook has to undergo an intensive training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose-schoolwork, matters of business, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding.
There are still some remote places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for a fee. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rate kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.
We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be enormous. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes. We want whatever we write to be read, from first word to last, not just thrown into some “letters-to-be-read” file (档案) or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skill of interesting, effective writing.
36. In this passage, good writing is compared to fine food because ________.
A) both writers and cooks have to work long hours every day
B) both are essential to life
C) both writers and cooks can earn a good living
D) both are enjoyable
37. A public “scribe” (Para. 2, Line 1) is ________.
A) a secretary who does your business or social writing
B) a machine that does writing for you
C) a public school where writing is taught
D) a person who ears a living by writing for others
38. According to the passage, some managers don’t have to do any letter writing because
________.
A) they rely on quick notes B) they have excellent secretaries
C) they have a computer to do it D) they prefer making phone calls
39. According to the author, if your letter is thrown into some “letter-to-be-read” file, ________.
A) it will receive immediate attention B) it will be dealt with by the secretary
C) it is likely to be neglected D) it is meant to be delivered soon
40. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is ________.
A) to explain and persuade B) to comment and criticize

1993年1月全国大学英语四级考试——答案
2016 年12 月大学英语四级考试真题及 答案 【篇一：2016 年12 月大学英语四级翻译作文题目及答 案】 翻译一： 在中国文化中，红色通常象征着好运、长寿和幸福。在春节和其他喜庆场合，红色到处可见。人们把现金作为礼物送给家人或亲密朋 友时，通常放在红信封里。红色在中国流行的另一个原因是人们把 它与中国革命和共产党相联系。然而，红色并不总是代表好运与快 乐。因为从前死者的名字常用红色书写，用红墨水写中国人名被看 成是一种冒犯行为。 as a symbol of good luck, longevity and happiness in chinese culture, the color of red can be seen everywhere during springfestive and other festive/ joyous occasions. cash is usually put in red envelopes as gifts for relatives and close/intimate friends. also, red is much-welcomed / fashionable in china because of its association with chinese revolutions and the communist party. however, red does not always represent / equal to good luck and joy. red was previously used to write the names of the deceased so it is seen as an offence to write chinese people ’s names in red ink. 翻译二 随着中国的改革开放，如今很多年轻人都喜欢举行西式婚礼。新娘 在婚礼上穿着白色婚纱，因为白色被认为是纯洁的象征。然而，在 中国传统文化中，白色经常是葬礼上使用的颜色。因此务必记住， 白花一定不要用作祝人康复的礼物，尤其不要送给老年人或危重病 人。同样，礼金也不能装在白色信封里，而要装在红色信封里。 with the reform and opening-up of china, a great many young people nowadays prefer to hold western-style wedding: the bride wears white wedding gown because the color is considered to symbolize purity/is considered as the symbol of purity. however, in tradition chinese culture, white is often used on funerals. so, do bear in mind that white flowers should never be used as a gift to celebrate someone ’s recovery, especially not for the aged or those who are seriously ill.

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .

Colleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid Good grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid. But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars. George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago. Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008. Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willing to pay whatever they must for a big-name school. For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running. But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,”says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum. Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it. “As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,”says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Repor t’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17. Merit aid, which benefited about 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about $ 1 million a year, “served us well,”Inzer says, but “to be
