翻译分册
总方针：翻译复习两步走
一.题型概述，知己知彼
在四级新题型的考试中，翻译部分所占的比重是5%。由5个句子组成，要求考生将5个句子由中文翻译成英文，基本上考查短语、句型，而并非整句的翻译本题型考查的重点主要在于英文的常用表达以及基本语法、短语的内容
二．翻译备考，方法为先
1.在进行翻译练习时，尽量力求翻译答案多样化，以便扩展思维，开阔思路，掌握重点核心表达。
例：(为了挣钱供我上学)______________________,mother often takes on more work
2.绝对不能忽视以前词汇语法的单项选择题，尤其是2000年以后的题目，尽量在以前的词汇题中挖掘新四级翻译考点，并做好笔记，随时随地复习。
例1：The author was required to submit an abstract of about200words together with his research paper.（2004年1月四级词汇题）
例2：He gave a pledge to handle the affairs in a friendly manner.（2005年6月四级词汇题）
例3：You will not be particular about your food in time of great hunger（2006年1月四级词汇题）
3.多背搭配，尤其是要以名词为中心，多背名词与动词、形容词等搭配，同时利用经典搭配多造句子，完善语法结构。同时可以提高自己的写作水平，一举两得。
4.强化重点语法知识。如倒装结构、虚拟语气、比较结构、定语从句、状语从句、非谓语动词等。
5.深度分析已考翻译试题，对考点的类型进行全面而细致的归类，全面掌握挖掘潜在考点，学会举一反三。

完形填空分册
一.题型概述：
完形填空是一个综合性很强的题型。不但考查考生的词汇能力，同样也能考查学生的篇章分析能力。所以说基本能力、基本技能对解此种题型就显得尤为重要。
该题型一般是由一篇200----300词左右的文章组成，题目为20道。
二.考点剖析：
根据大纲对完形填空的测试要求，可以预见完形填空有三大测试重点：
1.考查词汇的辨析：尤其考查对近义词的辨析，特别是动词和形容词以及名词。
2.考查固定搭配：主要包括动词词组、介词词组和形容词词组
3.上下文的衔接：这也就是侧重考查句子与句子、意群之间、段落之间的衔接。

People need opportunities to make a"midlife review"to81to the later stage of employed life, and to plan for the transition(过渡)82retirement,which may now happen83at any point from 50to over90,says McNair.

Section A 短对话 (11~18) 11. M: Oh my god! The heat is simply unbearable here. I wish we’ve gone to the beach instead. W: Well, with the museums and restaurants in Washington I’ll be happy here no matter what the temperature. Q：What does the woman mean? 12. M: How’s the new job going? W: Well, I’m learning a lot of new things, but I wish the director would give me some feedback. Q：What does the woman want to know? 13. M: Can you help me work out a physical training program John?

大学英语四级模拟题四 Part One Reading Comprehension (2’×10 = 20’) Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. 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 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow”from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory（呼吸的）diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases. Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility （能见度）. There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals are apt（易于的）to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers. Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes（腐蚀）our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control. 1. Air pollution may lead to airplane accidents because . A. it may cause pilots to be ill B. engines may fail from the air-borne dirt C. visibility is reduced D. it brings a lot of black snow 2. Scientists are trying to find a link between pollution and . A. intelligence levels B. birth problems C. man’s behavior D. the nervous system 3. Scientists have not yet determined . A. all of the effects of pollution on the human body B. how pollution can be controlled successfully C. when the atmosphere first became polluted D. how some snow becomes black 4. The author suggests that before air pollution becomes more serious, . A. factories will be forced to stop operating B. buildings should be protected C. the earth will begin to grow colder D. more money should be spent to solve the problem 5. We can conclude that . A. civilization may be ruined if pollution is not controlled B. pollution is more serious in Europe than it is in America C. most people do not know that pollution is a serious problem D. we should learn all the answers before we begin to control pollution Passage Two Stiletto heels could be banned from the workplace because of health and safety reasons, according to British Trade Union bosses. The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear “sensible shoes”with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference. The motion states: “Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely in appropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Feet bear the burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders. Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints. Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code. More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected.” Nadline Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticized the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace. “I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye,”she said. “If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me. The Trade Union leaders need to get real, stop using obvious sexist tactics by discussing women’s

They were around long before films. Even Shakespeare may have used them in fight scenes. To be good, a fight scene has to look real. Punches must (26)______ enemies' jaws. Sword fights must be fought with(27)______ swords. Several actors are usually in a fight scene. Their moves must be set up so that no one gets hurt. It is almost like planning a dance performance. If a movie scene is dangerous, stun people usually(28)______the stars. You may think you see Tom Cruise running along the top of a train. But it is(29)______ his stunt double.

A Grassroots Remedy Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world.To this end,we walk the dog,play golf,go fishing,sit in the garden,drink outside rather than inside the pub, have a picnic,live in the suburbs,go to the seaside,buy a weekend place in the country.The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk.And when joggers(慢跑者)jog,they don’t run the streets.Every one of them instinctively heads to the park or the river.It is my profound belief that not only do we all need nature, but we all seek nature,whether we know we are doing so or not. But despite this,our children are growing up nature-deprived(丧失).I spent my boyhood climbing trees on Streatham Common,South London.These days,children are robbed of these ancient freedoms,due to problems like crime,traffic,the loss of the open spaces and odd new perceptions about what is best for children,that is to say,
