As universities go digital, students are complaining of a new hit to their finances that's replacing—and sometimes joining—expensive textbooks: pricey online access codes that are required to complete coursework and submit assignments.B) The codes—which typically range in price from $ 80 to $ 155 per course—givestudents online access to systems developed by education companies like McGraw Hill and Pearson. These companies, which long reaped big profits as textbook publishers, have boasted that their new online offerings, when pushed to students through universities they partner with, represent the future of the industry.C)But critics say the digital access codes represent the same profit-seeking ethos(观念) of the textbook business, and are even harder for students to opt out of.While they could once buy second-hand textbooks, or share copies with friends, the digital systems are essentially impossible to avoid.D) "When we talk about the access code we see it as the new face of the textbookmonopoly (垄断), a new way to lock students around this system," said Ethan Senack, the higher education advocate for the . Public Interest Research Group, to BuzzFeed News. "Rather than $250 (for a print textbook) you're paying $ 120,"said Senack. "But because it's all digital it eliminates the used book market and eliminates any sharing and because homework and tests are through an access code, it eliminates any ability to opt out."E) Sarina Harpet, a 19-year-old student at Virginia Tech, was faced with a toughdilemma when she first started college in 2015—pay rent or pay to turn in her chemistry homework. She told BuzzFeed News that her freshman chemistry class required her to use Connect, a system provided by McGraw Hill where students can submit homework, take exams and track their grades. But the code to access the program cost $ 120—a big sum for Harper, who had already put down $ 450 for textbooks, and had rent day approaching.F) She decided to wait for her next work-study paycheck, which was typically $ 150-$ 200, to pay for the code. She knew that her chemistry grade may take a dive as a result. "It's a balancing act," she said. "Can I really afford these access codes now?" She didn't hand in her first two assignments for chemistry, which started her out in the class with a failing grade.G)The access codes may be another financial headache for students, but for textbookbusinesses, they're the future. McGraw Hill, which controls 21% of the higher education market, reported in March that its digital content sales exceeded print sales for the first time in 2015. The company said that 45% of its $ 140 million revenue in 2015 "was derived from digital products."H) A Pearson spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that "digital materials are lessexpensive and a good investment" that offer new features, like audio texts, personalized knowledge checks and expert videos. Its digital course materials save students up to 60% compared to traditional printed textbooks, the company added. McGraw Hill didn't respond to a request for comment, but its CEO David Levin told the Financial Times in August that "in higher education, the era of the printed textbook is now over."I) The textbook industry insists the online systems represent a better deal forstudents. "These digital products aren't just mechanisms for students to submit homework, they offer all kinds of features," David Anderson, the executive director of higher education with the Association of American Publishers, told BuzzFeed News. "It helps students understand in a way that you can't do with print homework assignments."J)David Hunt, an associate professor in sociology at Augusta University, which has rolled out digital textbooks across its math and psychology departments, toldBuzzFeed News that he understands the utility of using systems that require access codes. But he doesn't require his students to buy access to a learning program that controls the class assignments. "I try to make things as inexpensive as possible," said Hunt, who uses free digital textbooks for his classes but designs his own curriculum. "The online systems may make my life a lot easier but I feel like I'm giving up control. The discussions are the things where my expertise can benefit the students most."K)A 20-year-old junior at Georgia Southern University told BuzzFeed News that she normally spends $ 500-$ 600 on access codes for class. In one case, the professor didn't require students to buy a textbook, just an access code to turn in homework.This year she said she spent $ 900 on access codes to books and programs. "That's two months of rent," she said. "You can't sell any of it back. With a traditional textbook you can sell it for $ 30 - $ 50 and that helps to pay for your new semester's books. With an access code, you're out of that money. "L) Benjamin Wolverton, a 19-year-old student at the University of South Carolina, told BuzzFeed News that "it's ridiculous that after paying tens of thousands in tuition we have to pay for all these access codes to do our homework." Many of the access codes he's purchased have been required simply to complete homework or quizzes. "Often it's only 10% of your grade in class." he said. "You're paying so much money for something that hardly affects your grade—but if you didn't have it, it would affect your grades enough. It would be bad to start out at aB or C." Wolverton said he spent $ 500 on access codes for digital books andprograms this semester.M) Harper, a poultry (家禽) science major, is taking chemistry again this year and had to buy a new access code to hand in her homework. She rented her economics and statistics textbooks for about $ 20 each. But her access codes for homework, which can't be rented or bought second-hand, were her most expensive purchases: $ 120 and $ 85.N)She still remembers the sting of her first experience skipping an assignment due to the high prices. "We don't really have a missed assignment policy," she said."If you miss it, you just miss it. I just got zeros on a couple of first assignments.I managed to pull everything back up. But as a scared freshman looking at theirgrades, it's not fun."36. A student's yearly expenses on access codes may amount to their rent for twomonths.37. The online access codes may be seen as a way to tie the students to the digitalsystem.38. If a student takes a course again, they may have to buy a new access code tosubmit their assignments.39. McGraw Hill accounts for over one-fifth of the market share of college textbooks.40. Many traditional textbook publishers are now offering online digital products,which they believe will be the future of the publishing business.41. One student complained that they now had to pay for access codes in additionto the high tuition.42. Digital materials can cost students less than half the price of traditionalprinted books according to a publisher.43. One student decided not to buy her access code until she received the pay forher part-time job.44. Online systems may deprive teachers of opportunities to make the best use oftheir expertise for their students.45. Digital access codes are criticized because they are profit-driven just likethe textbook ?CDirections:?There?are?2?passages?in?this?section.?Each?passage?is?followed?by?s ome?questionsor?unfinished?statements.?For?each?of?them?there?are?four?choices?marked?A),B),C)andD).?You?should?decide?on?the?best?choice?and?mark?the?corresponding?letter?on?Answer?Sheet2?with?a?single?line?through?the?centre.Passage?OneQuestions?46?and?50?are?based?on?the?following?passage.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Losing your ability to think and remember is pretty scary. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn't worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.After age 50, it's quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don't remember even seeingit, that's far more concerning, Daffner says.When you forget entire experiences, he says, that's "a red flag that something more serious may be involved." Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you've visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong.But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn't panic. There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) like antidepressants.You don't have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain's cognitive (认知的) reserve, Daffner says."Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways," he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster.does the author say that one needn't be concerned about memory slips?all of them are symptoms of dementia.occur only among certain groups of people.all of them are related to one's age.are quite common among fifty-year-olds.happens as we become aged according to the passage?interaction skills deteriorate.parts of our brain stop functioning.within our brain weakens.whole brain starts shrinking.memory-related symptom should people take seriously?forgetting how to do one's daily routines.to recall details of one's life experiences.to remember the names of movies or actors.confusing the addresses of one's friends.should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up?the brain's cognitive reserve.medications affecting memory.to a professional for assistance.to improve their well-being.is Dr. Daffner's advice for combating memory loss?regular physical and mental checkups.medicine that helps boost one's brain.in known memory repair activities.active both physically and ?TwoPassage TwoQuestions?51?to?55?are?based?on?the?following?passage.A letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives (档案馆) by the FBI after being stolen twice."We realized in the mid-1970s that it was missing," says Effie Kapsalis, head of the Smithsonian Insitution Archives. "It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern (实习生), from what the FBI is telling us. Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes," and the intern put the letter back. "The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it."Decades passed. Finally, the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very close to Washington, . Their art crime team recovered the letter but were unable to press charges because the time of limitations had ended. The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian's property.The letter was written by Darwin to thank an American geologist, Dr. Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, for sending him copies of his research into the geology of the region that would become Yellowstone National Park.The letter is in fairly good condition, in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long. "It was luckily in good shape," says Kapsalis, "and we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it. It has some glue on it that has colored it slightly, but nothing that will prevent us from using it. After it is repaired, we will take digital photos of it and that will be available online. One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online."It would now be difficult for an intern, visitor or a thief to steal a document like this. "Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s," says Kapsalis, "and we keep our high value documents in a safe that I don't even have access to."happened to Darwin's letter in the 1970s?was recovered by the FBI.was stolen more than once.was put in the archives for research purposes.was purchased by the Smithsonian Archives.did the FBI do after the recovery of the letter?proved its authenticity.kept it in a special safe.arrested the suspect immediately.pressed criminal charges in vain.is Darwin's letter about?evolution of Yellowstone National Park.cooperation with an American geologist.geological evidence supporting his theory.acknowledgement of help from a professional.will the Smithsonian Institution Archives do with the letter according to Kapsalis?it for research purposes only.it into an object of high interest.it a permanent secret.it available online.has the past half century witnessed according to Kapsalis?interest in rare art objects.changes in archiving practices.of various missing documents.in the value of museum exhibits.Part?IV?

Nowadays, people usually pay more attention to their speaking ability, believing that better speaking means better communication. There is some truth in this statement, the ability to speak well is an important factor for successful communication.For my perspectives, effective communication should be carefully planned. Firstly, speak slowly and briefly so as to make others understand completely. Secondly, we need to express ourselves in all sincerity and with warmth. Thirdly, we should focus on what other says and appreciate his opinions. Meanwhile, we also need to give positive feedback by nodding or smiling while listening.In conclusion, learning to speak well seems like making a great building. We can tell that people with strong ability in speaking enjoy more opportunities to promote and express oneself, and people who lack of such capability would fail to achieve that.2.写作能力的重要性范文：The picture illustrates the importance of writing ability. When observing the world from a personal perspective, it is deducible that the ability of writing is playing an important role and hence becomes a great concern of society. However, how we can develop this ability is the problem that literally everyone needs to face.The first approach to develop our writing is to read more widely. This is because the enlargement of our knowledge pool can enrich our understanding at those fields. The second useful method of improving our writing is by learning from others’ writing techniques and then practicing them by ourselves. Last but not least, it can be beneficial for us to communicate with classmates who write well. This communication can be reached by exchanging essays. Ask one of them for his or her suggestions in order to capture your mistakes and shortcomings.In a word, society should focus on educating people with their writing ability as long as the attention has been drawn. Only in this way can our world continue to prosper in the future.3.阅读能力的重要性范文： As is described in the picture, the teacher istelling her student that it is through reading thatpeople install new software,namely newknowledge, into their brains. I approve of suchstatement because reading is of greatsignificance in our life.First and foremost, reading is the basic way inwhich we acquire knowledge of the world.Although we can obtain new information throughvarious means, for example, watching TV, westill gain most knowledge directly or indirectly bymeans of reading. Secondly, books are thestepping stones to human progress. Being therecord of human experience, books open a worldof knowledge and wisdom for us. Throughreading we can grasp abundant knowledge andstep forward. In addition, reading is also animportant way of recreation. From reading wecan get pleasure and relaxation. When we areengrossed in reading, we enter a world of ourownleaving all the troubles behindTo sum up, reading is a necessity for our life.Young people should focus more on reading, nomatter when or where.阅读理解第一套选词填空26.

2013年12月大学英语四级考试翻译题参考译文【翻译原文】“你要茶还是咖啡？”是用餐人常被问到的问题。

许多西方人会选咖啡，而中国人则会选茶。

相传，中国的一位帝王于五千年前发现了茶，并用来治病，在明清（The Qing Dynasties）期间，茶馆遍布全国，饮茶在六世纪传到日本，但直到18世纪才传到欧美。

Section A选词填空自20世纪40年代起，加州南部就一直因雾霾而闻名。

如今问题虽然不再那么严重，但据美国肺脏协会的数据显示，洛杉矶仍然是全美国污染指数最高的城市。

盖蒂中心是一座位于圣莫尼卡山上的艺术博物馆，从这里往下望就会看到太平洋的景致被一片阴霾笼罩。

加州糟糕的空气不仅仅限于南部地区。

位于中部大峡谷的弗雷斯诺市在美国全年污染排行榜中居于榜首。

居民的心肺健康都受到了影响。

除此以外，加州作为技术创新的发祥地闻名于世，所有这些因素使得它成为了开发、测试污染详细监控系统的理想之地。

这也正是旧金山一所名为Aclima的初创公司过去几个月一直在做的事。

这家公司一直在测试用于生成室外空气污染实时图的监控站。

这些站点还能监测建筑大楼内部的情况，包括办公室。

为了达到这个目标，Aclima一直在和谷歌街景拍摄系统合作。

Aclima的老板戴维德·赫茨尔表示他们已经发现了污染最严重的日子，就是旧金山的交通工人罢工，市民被迫开私家车的时候。

相反，“单车出行日”则创下了最低污染记录。

他提到的推车是一种小型购物车——一个真威尼斯人的象征。

“游行最开始只是个玩笑”，他笑着说，“开始的想法是在购物车轮上装上刀片！你知道吗？就像宾虚一样。

就像那样，四处乱走，把人们撞倒。

”C) 威尼斯是世界上最热门的旅游地之一，但这带来了问题。
