These isolated locations appeal to travelers who want to get close tO nature because they are tired of stressful city life．Other people who can afford neither the time nor the money for travel will stay at home，watching TV , going to the movies or concerts，or inviting some friends over for a party·Children like to go to the park，play computer games，and participate in sports．Young women like to go shopping while young men prefer to stay at home，watching TV and drinking tea.The popularity of pastimes varies according to age，sex，personality and financial situations. Whatever one’s pastime is。

There engines are________________________ (不如我们制造的那些发动机功率大). Part IV In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answerthe questions or complete the statements in the fewest possiblewords (Not exceeding 10 words)Each semester, Andrew Tom receives a term bill outlining his expenses: tuition, dorm―It’s like you start out the semester with plenty of money and then $20 for di nner out here and $100 at the department store there, it’s gone,‖ said Tom, a Northeastern Universit y third-year student. ―And there are so many things you need like toothpaste orlaundry detergent (洗涤剂) that you don’t think about until you get here and need it.‖From the books lining their shelves to the fashionable clothes filling their closets, college students say the expenses of a college education go well beyond tuition and a dining hall meal plan. Many say they arrive on campus only to be overwhelmed by unexpected costs from sports fees to the actual price of a slice of pizza.Balancing a job with schoolwork, especially at colleges known for their heavy workloads like Harvard and MIT, can be tough. So can the pressure students often feel to financially keep pace with their friends.―When you get dragged along shopping, you’re going to spend money; if you get dragged to a party and everyone wants to take a cab but you’re cheap and want to take a bus, chances are you’ll end up sharing the fee for the cab,‖ said Tom. ―I guess you could say no, but no one wants to be the only one eating in the snack bar w hile your friends are out to dinner.‖Max Cohen, a biology major at MIT, said he is accustomed to watching fellow students spend $40 a night to have dinner delivered or $50 during a night out at a bar. During the school’s recent spring break, friends on trips for the week posted away messages that read like a world map—Paris, Rome, Tokyo. ―Meanwhile I stay home and work,‖ said Coh en. ―I didn’t realize when I came here how much money I would spend or how hard I would have to work to get by.‖It is a lesson some younger students learn quickly. Others, surrounded by credit card offers, go into debt, or worse, are forced to leave school.―A lot of people don’t think twice about how much they spend,‖ said a first-year student at MIT, ―and you feel the pressure s ometimes to go along with them.‖41.

Students used to believe college education expenses mainly refer to______&_______, but actually the expenses are beyond the two.43. It is really difficult for students with _________ to have a job to earn money, such asstudents from Harvard and MIT.44. From para.6, what is one of the most important reasonfor the college students’ highexpenses? ________.45. Some students acquainted many foreign friends in the school outing.

The Food and Wine Club offers a variety of social events every year, including holiday parties,wine tastings, and our annual Oktoberfest trip to Munich. One of our past dinners has been described as "the best meal I've ever had".Listening 3Ex 1: AACBEx 2:TFTFFScripts:Well, I think first of all for first-time students, coming and living on campus in dormitories canprovide a certain level of security as well as convenience because it's close to campus facilities andcommuting without a car can be quite an experience, especially when you have to commute long distances. Also meals are usually provided on campus so students can devote more time to their studies, rather than to housekeeping. But, of course, students should also be aware that they'll haveto obey the rules and regulations relating to student conduct. This is part of the contract with theuniversity for living on campus.Another option is living off campus in apartments. Like living in dormitories, living in an apartmentrequires little or no maintenance mainly because that is usually handled by the owner or someone else.Also, if you live off campus, there might be a great amount of flexibility in choosing roommates thatyou might not have when living on campus. But you should be aware that tenants may be responsiblefor furnishing their own apartments.Well, of course, the choice is up to you, but be careful to review both the advantages and disadvantages of living on and off campus. Good luck.Listening 4Ex 1: F T T T FEx 2: 1. had a flower painted on her face 2. wore air-conditioned blue jeans / jeans with lot of holes in them3.had his hair down to his waistScripts:The following is a conversation between one woman, Grace, and two men, Martin and Curtis.)Grace: Martin, what do you remember most about our college days?Martin: What do I remember most?Grace: Curtis' hair: It was down to his waist.Curtis: I remember how Grace looked.

Many college instructors do not take roll, and many others don't penalize students for not going to class. A student who would rather sit in the bar than go to class has theoption to do so. A student must be mature enough to realize that he needs to go to class. Second, collegestudents have to motivate themselves to do their assignments. Many students are away from home, so theold enforcers, their parents, aren't there to ask if their reading is finished. No college teacher hounds astudent for his homework. He simply puts down a zero and says nothing. It's up to the student to get thework done. Finally, college students are responsible for taking the required exams. A student who misses atest can't expect a professor even to mention it. It is totally his responsibility to arrange to make up theexam. Only students mature enough to accept these responsibilities are ready for college.Listening 3Ex:Subject Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4English √√√√√BusinessCorrespondenceFrench √Secretarial Practice √√√Shorthand √√√Accounting √√Economics √√Bookkeeping √Scripts:Man: So you were studying for how long --let me see-- for four years altogether?

As for the Business Correspondence part, which I did in the second year andthird year, it was really mostly English too. I also did one year of French, in the fourth year,learning to meet people, or answer the telephone. Then there were three years of SecretarialPractice, starting in the second year; and three years of Shorthand, though I never got very good atit. And, well, I suppose the other subjects just fitted around that: Accounting in year three and four,Economics in the first and second and Bookkeeping in the third...no, no, in the second year, beforewe started Accounting.Listening 4The Bully Asleepby John WalshOne afternoon, when grassyScents through the classroom crept,Bill Craddock laid his headDown on his desk, and slept.The children came round him:Jimmy, Roger, and Jane;They lifted his head timidlyAnd let it sink again."Look, he's gone sound asleep, Miss,"Said Jimmy Adair;"He stays up all the night, you see.His mother doesn't care.""Stand away from him, children."Miss Andrews stooped to see."Yes, he's asleep; go onWith your writing and let him be.""Now's a good chance!" whispered Jimmy;And he snatched Bill's pen and hid it."Kick him under the desk hard;He won't know who did it."- "Fill all his pockets with rubbish—Paper, apple-cores, chalk."So they plotted, while JaneSat wide-eyed at their talk.Not caring, not hearing,Bill Craddock he slept on;Lips parted, eyes closed—Their cruelty gone."Stick him with pins!" muttered Roger."Ink down his neck!" said Jim.But Jane, tearful and foolish,Wanted to comfort him.。

Twelve years at school and three years at university, teachers banging on about opportunities in the big wide world beyond our sheltered life as students, and what do I find?Try as I might to stay cheerful, all I ever get is hassle, sometimes with people (especially boys, god, when will they grow up?), but mostly with money.

The Inland Revenue wants to deduct income tax, the bank manager wants repayments on my student loan, the landlord wants the rent, gas, water, electricity and my mobile bills keep coming in, a nd all that’s before I’ve had anything to eat. And then some bright spark calls me out of the blue, asking if I’m interested in buying a pension. At this rate, I won’t even last till the end of the year, let alone till I’m 60.（☞翻译时可以根据上下文增译，即增加原文暗含了但没有直接表达出来的意思。

新编大学英语4课后答案【篇一：新编大学英语4课文翻译和答案(浙江大学)】p class=txt>unit 1享受幽默—什么东西令人开怀？1 听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心，古今中外都一样。
这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。
那么，到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢？2 我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人，因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。
这些学生文化差异很大，有来自拉丁美洲的，也有来自中国的。
我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。
这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。
3 为什么听我讲完一个笑话后，班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合，而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢？显然，有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。
而且，我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话，而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。
我们都听人说过这样的话：“我喜欢笑话，但我讲不好，也总是记不住。
”有些人比别人更有幽默感，就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。
一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲，而且讲了一个笑话，就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。
一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的人。
一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱，而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。
这么说是有道理的。
4 甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。
我岳母从前经常来我们家，并能住上很长一段时间。
通常她不喜欢狗，但却很喜欢布利茨恩—我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。
而且，她们的这种喜欢是相互的。
布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母，当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时，布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室，并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去，一直逗到外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。
外祖母从椅子上一起来，布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子，从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑，无疑是在说：“啊哈，你又上了我的当。
”5 典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。
第一部分是铺垫（即背景），接下来是主干部分（即故事情节），随后便是妙语（即一个出人意料或令人惊讶的结尾）。

(para. 2-4)Supporting evidenceA.Teachers called on males in class far more than on female students. (para 2)i)Its consequence: This has a tremendous impact onthe learning process.ii)The reason for this: Active classroom participants develop more positive attitudesand go on to higher achievement.iii)Two examples:a. In many of the former all- women’s colleges, the boys were taking over the class-room discussions and active participation by women students had diminished noticeably.b. A similar subordination of female to male studentshas also been observed in law and medical school classroomsin recent years.B.Teachers assigned boys and girls different tasksaccording to stereotyped gender roles. (para. 3)i)Its consequence: This prevented girls from participatingas actively as boys in class.ii)An example: A teacher had the little boys perform the scientific experiment while the girls were given the task of putting the materials away.C. Gender-biased education is also reflected in the typical American teacher ’ assumption. (para 4)i)The assumption: Boys will do better in the hard, masculine subjects of math and science while girls are expected to have better verbal and reading skills.ii)Three examples:a.American boys do develop reading problems, while girls, who are superior to boys in math up to the age of nine, fall behind from then on.b.In Germany, all studies are considered masculine andit is girls who develop reading problems.c. In Japan, where early education appears to be nonsexist, both girls and boys do equally well in reading.(3)The educational bias begins at home. (para 5)A. Supporting evidence:i)Boy preschoolers were permitted to go away from home in a much wider area than girl preschoolers.ii)Boys were encouraged to develop intellectualcuriosity and physical skills, while girls are filled with fears of theworld outside the home and with the desire to be approved of fortheir goodness and obedience to rules.B.The consequence when these lessons carry over fromthe home to the classroom: Girls are generally observed to bemore dependent on the teacher, more concerned with the formand neatness of their work than its content, and more anxiousabout being right in their answers than in being intellectually independent, analytical, or original.C. Conclusion: Through the educational process that occupiesmost of the child ’swaking hours, society re inforces its established values and turns out each sex in its traditional and expected mold.2CBDBCDVocabulary1. 1) genetic 2) assign 3) noticeably 4) approved 5) Bias6) deprived 7) constituted 8) participation 9) unintentional 10) postgraduate2. conscious –unconscious positive –negativeencourage –discourage superior –inferiordirectly –indirectly biased–fairsexist–nonsexist limited –unlimiteddependent–independent appropriately–inappropriately3. 1) C 2) D 3) A 4) E 5) B6) C 7) F 8) B4. 1) turn out 2) carry over 3) calling on 4) put away 5) fallen behind 6) take overUnit 4Reading Comprehension1. 1) Introduction(para 1)It is introduced in the article how teachers and parents can encouragecreativity in children.2)An important strategy for parents and teachers tofollow (para. 2-3)A.

要是学得不好，一个最省事的办法就是中途退出（不修这门课），在布朗大学你们学会了这一点。
但是，从现在开始，在你们要涉足的世界里，失败是要给你留下疤痕的。
知难而退也会使你变成另一个人。
走出布朗，知难而退的人绝不是英雄。
2 你们可以跟我们争辩，说服我们为什么你们的错误不是错误，为什么平庸的作业是优秀的，为什么你们会对普普通通并不出色的课堂报告感到骄傲。
回想一下，毕竟你们中的大多数人在你们所学的大部分课程中都得了高分。
因此，在这里分数并不能作为区分优秀学生与学业平平的学生的依据。
但是，今后，在你们所要去的世界里，你们最好不要为自己的错误辩护，而应该从中吸取教训。
假如你们要求得到你们不该得到的表扬，诋毁那些不给你们表扬的人，这是不明智的做法。
3 多年来，我们创造了一个完全宽容的世界。
这里所要求于你们的仅仅是一点微不足道的努力。
当你们没有按约定的时间赴约时，我们就再约时间。
当你们没有按期交作业时，我们装作不在乎。
4 更糟糕的是，当你们的言谈枯燥无味时，我们却装作你们说的是重要的事情；当你们喋喋不休、不知所云时，我们认真倾听，似乎你们说的东西事关重大；当你们把根本没有花心思写的作业扔到我们桌上时，我们不仅拜读，甚至批改给评语，好像值得为你们这样做似的。
当你们犯傻时，我们装作你们聪明过人；当你们老生常谈、毫无想象力、平平淡淡时，我们却要像在听什么美妙绝伦的新鲜事情一样；当你们要不劳而获时，我们拱手奉上。
所有这一切究竟是为了什么？
5 对这一切尽管你们可以想入非非，但我们决不是因为想要讨得你们的欢心，而是因为我们不想让你们来罗嗦。
一个简单的办法就是作假：微笑，让你们轻轻松松都得B。
6 在这一类的演说中人们往往习惯于引用，在此让我来引用一个你们从来没有听说过的人的话，这个人是拉特格斯大学的卡特·A.丹尼尔教授。
他说：
“大学毁了你们，让你们阅读那些不值得一读的论文，听那些不值得一听的评论，甚至要去尊重那些无所事事、孤陋寡闻、极不文明的人。
为了教育，我们过去不得不这样做，但是今后不会有人再这样做了。
在过去的50年中，大学使你们丧失了得到充分培养的机会。
由于大学成了一个轻松、自由、包容、体贴、舒适、充满乐趣、好玩的地方，它没有对你们尽到责任。
但愿你们今后好运。
”
7 这就是为什么，在今天进行毕业典礼之际，我们没有任何可引以自豪的东西。
8 哦，对了，还有一点。
尽量不要像对待我们那样去对待你们的同事和老板。
我的意思是，当他们把你们想要但不是你们应得的东西给予了你们时，要善待他们，不要侮辱他们，不要在他们身上重演你们与父母之间的那种糟糕的关系。
这一切，我们也都忍受了。
正如我刚才所说的，这不是为了讨你们的欢心。
有一些年轻人只能在同龄人的眼中找到自我，是一些愚昧无知的人，竟然肤浅到以为教授们关心的不是教育，而是自己的人缘。
实际上，很少有教授在乎这类年轻人是否喜欢他们。
我们容忍这一切，只是为了摆脱你们。
摒
弃我们在教学中给你们造成的这些假象，投身到真实的生活中去吧。
Passage II
大学：一个宽恕一切的世界吗？
艾达·蒂莫西
1 在“永远不会听到的毕业典礼演说”中，雅各布·诺伊斯那认为，大学经历使得我们认为：“失败不会留下任何记录”（第一段），而成绩是很容易取得的。
在诺伊斯那看来，大学并不是一所很好的着眼于将来生活的预备学校，因为它为一个“根本就不存在的世界”而培养我们（第一段）。
2 毫无疑问，诺伊斯那在发表这么强烈的论点之前，该对大学生活实况做更进一步的审视。
他完全无视学生们为了学业成功而经受的一切压力与艰辛。
大学生活根本就不是他所描绘的那样。
3 大学难道真的像诺伊斯那所说的那样，没有让我们为现实生活作准备吗？我们所经历的一切难道无助于我们了解现实世界的吗？这些问题都是在思考诺伊斯那所说的话时涌现到我的脑海中的。
我认为他完全错了。
对我们许多人来说，大学时代正是我们开始独立，自己做重要决定，并对这些决定负责的时代。
在大学里，我们必须学会计划时间（还包括计划用钱！），学会容忍（否则，住在一个拥挤的三人间里，我们会无法过下去的）。
我们与来自世界各地的人相识，开阔了我们的视野，使我们彼此加深了解。
如果这些对现实世界是没用的，那我可不知道什么才是有用的。
4 诺伊斯那认为，在大学里我们所接受的教育使我们认为“失败不会留下任何记录”，因为据称我们犯了错误可以轻而易举地不受惩罚。
我要告诉他的是：要是你考试不及格，你就不能再考，或者即使老师明知你一辈子都会恨他，他也不会抹去你的成绩。
要是你中途放弃了某一门课，下学期你就得多修课。
要是你有几门课的成绩很低，就几乎不可能进入一个好的研究生院。
要是你好几门课的平均积分点不够高，那你就得不到学位。
期中考试、期末考试来临时，没有人能够逃避。
当学习紧张时，本来刻苦学习的人也得更加努力学习，因为大学并不像诺伊斯那所认为的那样，会给失误提供“省事的”解决办法（第一段）。
大学不是一个“宽恕一切的世界”，当“最后期限”已过，或者没有按要求的时间完成作业时，老师们也绝不会“装作不在乎”（第三段）。
5 对于我来说，生活在一个拥挤的三人间里，期末考试前只有一天时间看书，繁重的阅读任务，论文，还有集中在一个星期里进行的期中考试，这些可不是我心目中的“轻松、自由、包容、体贴、舒适、充满乐趣、好玩”（第六段）。
