2025年全国大学英语CET四级考试模拟试卷及答案指导一、写作(15分)CET-4 Writing SectionDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled “The Importance of Teamwork”. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.Sample Essay: The Importance of TeamworkIn today’s fast-paced and highly competitive world, the concept of teamwork has become more crucial than ever. It is often said that one can go fast alone, but to go far, one must go together. This saying underlines the importance of teamwork in achieving common goals effectively and efficiently.Teamwork allows for the pooling of diverse skills and talents, which leads to more innovative solutions and better decision-making. When individuals with different backgrounds and expertise collaborate, they bring unique perspectives to the table, fostering an environment where creativity thrives. Furthermore, working as a team builds a support system, enabling members to rely on each other during challenging times, thus reducing stress and increasing job satisfaction.Another significant benefit of teamwork is the ability to accomplish tasksthat would be impossible for an individual to handle. By dividing work among team members based on their strengths, teams can tackle complex projects, ensuring all aspects are thoroughly covered. This not only improves the quality of work but also accelerizes the completion time.In conclusion, the value of teamwork cannot be overstated. It is through collaboration and mutual support that we can achieve great things, overcome obstacles, and reach our full potential. Embracing the spirit of teamwork is essential for both personal and professional success in our interconnected world.Analysis:•Introduction: The essay begins with a clear statement about the increasing significance of teamwork in the modern era, setting up the main argument.•Body Paragraphs:•The first body paragraph discusses how teamwork enhances innovation and decision-making by combining varied skills and viewpoints.•The second body paragraph highlights the supportive nature of teamwork, emphasizing its role in managing stress and boosting morale.• A third point is made about the efficiency and effectiveness gained from dividing labor according to individual strengths, allowing for thesuccessful execution of complex tasks.•Conclusion: The concluding paragraph reinforces the thesis, summarizing the key benefits of teamwork and linking them to broader concepts ofachievement and personal growth.This sample response adheres to the word limit (156 words), maintains a coherent structure, and provides specific examples to support the main points, making it a strong example for the CET-4 writing section.二、听力理解-短篇新闻(选择题,共7分)第一题News Item 1:A new study has found that the popularity of online shopping has led to a significant increase in the use of plastic packaging.

With just a few clicks, customers can purchase products from all over the world and have them delivered to their doorstep. However, this convenience has also brought about some challenges, particularly in terms of logistics and environmental impact.One of the biggest concerns is the environmental impact of packaging. Traditional packaging materials, such as plastic bags and boxes, are not biodegradable and often end up in landfills, contributing to pollution.E-commerce companies have started to address this issue by offering packaging-free options and promoting the use of sustainable materials.Another challenge is the issue of returns. With the ease of online shopping, customers often order more items than they need, leading to a high rate of returns. This not only increases the carbon footprint of shipping but also creates additional waste. Some companies have introduced policies to encourage customers to return fewer items, such as offering incentives for reuse or donation.Despite these challenges, the e-commerce industry is not standing still. There are innovative solutions being developed to make the process more sustainable. For example, some companies are experimenting with drone delivery to reduce the number of vehicles on the road. Others are investing in energy-efficient data centers to power their operations.1、What is one of the main concerns related to e-commerce packaging?A)The high cost of shipping materials.B)The environmental impact of non-biodegradable materials.C)The difficulty in recycling packaging materials.2、How does the high rate of returns affect e-commerce?A)It increases the demand for new packaging materials.B)It leads to a decrease in the cost of shipping.C)It creates additional waste and increases the carbon footprint.3、What is an innovative solution being developed to make e-commerce more sustainable?A)The use of reusable packaging.B)The implementation of strict return policies.C)The introduction of drone delivery.Answers:1、B2、C3、A五、阅读理解-词汇理解(填空题,共5分)First QuestionPassage:In today’s fast-paced world, conservation has become a major concern for environmentalists and policymakers alike. Preserving natural resources is not just about protecting the environment; it also plays a critical role in ensuring sustainable development and improving the quality of life for future generations.

大学英语六级考试翻译部分解题技巧指导(2013.12新四六级专用)校对整理:名师李炳璋第一部分:题型概述自2013年12月考试起,全国大学英语六级考试的翻译部分将由原单句汉译英调整为段落汉译英,翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等题材,文章长度为180-200个汉字。
以下是大学英语六级考试翻译部分的大纲样题:中国新年是中国最重要的传统节日,在中国也被称为春节。
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。
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。
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。
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,英文中没有明确对应的词,考生在翻译时应该抓住词的根本意思。
其次,长句也较多,考生要想把它翻译准确、通顺,不仅需要单词量和单词拼写过关,还需要掌握语法,分析句子成分,学会中英文转换的技巧。
如果说原来的大学英语六级考试的翻译部分需要考生掌握词和句的翻译,将信息进行简单的一对一式的传输的话,那么现在的大学英语六级考试的翻译部分则要求考生以词、句的翻译为基础,扩大到对整体段落的翻译的把握,与之前考查的句子翻译完全不同了。
最后,从选材范围来看,文章内容多是有关中国的,也符合大学英语教学中要求学生走出去的教学目的,考生应多关注有关中国国情介绍的英文文章,以便积累相关词汇和表达。
第二部分:翻译技巧为了帮助广大考生从容应对翻译题型,我们将分别从词、句的翻译角度进行分析,帮助考生掌握翻译技巧和要点。

【7天翻转四六级】Translation(积累篇1)试卷中常用的“成语”编辑校对:李炳璋(闻题鸟首席运营总监)在新大学英语四六级考试中,原来单句汉译英调整为段落汉译英。
翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等。
四级长度为140-160个汉字;六级长度为180-200个汉字,相当于要写一篇小作文,挑战增大。
但换个角度看,考生得分并不一定会降低。
首先是文字难度肯定会降低,其次采分点会更分散,对应的卡壳风险降低。
在应对方面,“化解”原文是最重要的手段——只要能读懂,思维够灵活(会绕着弯走,会化解),再加上一定的语言系统训练,避免逐字逐句翻译,就取得了打开翻译之门的钥匙。
而训练“化解”能力最简单、有效的方法还是要通过训练辨识段落文字中的关键词(keywords)。
找到这些关键词的英译,根据上下文需要变化词性或形式,组织一下语句,篇章翻译也不是什么难事。
所以一句话,“抓词才能得高分”。
最后希望当试题里涉及到具有中国文化特色的成语时,考生也能够在考场上翻译的游刃有余。

外刊例句:Chelsea’s mission in the summer will be to strengthen further, adding morehigh-calibre players to an already capable squad, with a view to using this season’s success as a springboard to rejoining the European elite. (TheGuardian)可供替换的表达还有:in order to do something / with the aim of doing something注意:with a view to guaranteeing 不可以替换成with a view to protecting,因为protect的含义是to make sure that somebody/something is not harmed, injured, damaged, etc.本句是保证需求,因此protect不可与guarantee替换2-receive education是一个固定搭配,含义是“接受教育”,也可以写成get / have educationeducation[?ed.j?'ke?.??n]noun[S or U]ESSENTIAL■the process of teaching or learning in a school or college, or theknowledge that you get from this 教育;受教育获得的知识As a child he received most of his education at home.童年时他主要在家中接受教育。

栽桑、养蚕、缫丝、织绸是中国古代人民的伟大发明。
商周时期丝绸的生产技术就已发展到相当高的水平。
西汉时张骞通西域,把中原与波斯湾、地中海紧密联系起来,开辟了中外交流贸易的新纪元。
从此中国的丝绸以其卓越的品质、精美的花色和丰富的文化内涵闻名于世,成为中国文化的象征。
东方文明的使者。
【参考译文】China is the home of silk. Mulberry planting, sericulture, silk reeling and thickening are all great inventions of the ancient Chinese. As early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Chinese people’s silk-weaving techniques had reached an extremely high level. During the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian, an outstanding diplomat, travelled around central Asia and connected China with the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean, opening up a new era of Sino-foreign trade, exchange and communication. From then on, China’s silk became well known for its extraordinary quality, exquisite design and color, and abundant culture connotations. Hitherto, Chinese silk has been accepted as a symbol of Chinese culture and the emissary of oriental civilization.002.在中国月饼是一种特殊的食品,广受海内外华人的欢迎。
中秋吃月饼就好比圣诞节吃馅饼(mince pies)。
为了庆祝中秋节,中国人通常做两件事:一是观赏满月。
二是品尝美味的月饼。
中秋节是每年农历八月十五日。
据说,这一天的月亮是一年中最圆的。
而月亮正是庆贺中秋的全部主题。
在中国人眼中,月饼象征着全家人的大团圆。
【参考译文】Moon cakes are a special kind of food in China. They are very popular with the Chinese at home and abroad. Moon cakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are to Christmas. To celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese usually do two things: enjoy the full moon and eat delicious moon cakes. The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. It is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest. And the moon is exactly what this celebration is all about. In the eyes of the Chinese people, a moon cake symbolizes the reunion of all family members.【温馨提示】第二句中的“……就好比”可以用“…s like…”,但译文中所用句型更好地表达这个含义。
如:“智力之于大脑,犹如视力之于躯体。
“ Intellect is to the mind what sight is to the body.”003.皮影戏(the shadow puppet play)又称“影子戏”。
它是中国著名民间戏剧形式之一。
表演时艺人通常一边演唱一边操纵用兽皮或纸板制作的人物形象。
它们的影子通过灯光出现在帘布上。
这营造了有人物在活动的幻象。
有时表演者需要控制三到四个偶人。
皮影戏在我国历史悠久,元代时还曾传到世界上很多国家,迷倒了不少国外戏迷,被人们亲切地称为“中国影灯”。
【参考译文】The shadow puppet play, also known as ‘shadow play’, is one of China’s famous folk opera forms.During the performance, players usually sing while holing/manipulating human figures, which are made of animal skin and paper board. The shadows of those human figures are reflected on a curtain through the light. This creates the illusion of moving images. Sometimes the performer needs to control three or four puppets. Shadow puppet play enjoys a long history in China. It was introduced to many countries during the Yuan Dynasty and attracted many foreign audiences.They call the art from the Chinese shadow play.004.秧歌舞是中国汉族的一种民间传统舞蹈,通常在北方省份表演。
秧歌舞者通常穿上明亮多彩的表演服装,他们的表演动作有力迅速。
在农历春节、元宵节等节日期间,人们一旦听到锣鼓声,不管外面天气有多冷,他们都会蜂拥到街上看秧歌舞表演。
近年来,中国东北某些城市的老年人自发组织了了秧歌队,队员常年通过跳秧歌舞来保持健康,同事他们也乐在其中。
【参考译文】Yangko is one of traditional folk dances of Han in China.It is usually performed in northern provinces. The dancers usually wear colorful and light costumes, and the performance is powerful and rapid. During some festivals such as Spring Festival, Lantein Festival, if people hear the sound of drum and gong, no matter how cold the weather is, they will come to street and appreciate the Yangko. Recent years, the old people in the city of east-northern of China organized the team of Yangko by themselves, the teams keep their health by dancing Yangko the whole year.005.生活习惯多少年来,我养成了一个习惯:每天早晨四点在黎明以前起床工作。
我不出去跑步或散步,而是一下床就干活儿。
因此我对黎明前的北京的了解是在屋子里感觉到的。
我从前在什么报上读过一篇文章,讲黎明时分天安门广场上的清洁工人。
那情景必然是非常动人的,可惜我从未能见到,只是心向往之而已。
【参考译文】For many years, I have been in the habit of getting up before daybreak to start to work at four.Instead of going out for a jog or walk, I’ll set about my work as soon as I’m out of bed. As a result, it is from inside my study that I've got the feel of predawn Beijing. Years ago, I hit upon a newspaper article about street cleaners in Tian’anmen Square at daybreak. It must have become a very moving scene, but what a pity I haven’t seen it with my own eyes. I can only picture it in my mind longingly.006.保护动物目前,人类的生存环境正在遭到破坏,美丽的大自然已经不那么美丽了。
保护野生动物,也就是保护人类自己。
我强烈呼吁:不要再捕杀黑猩猩,不要再捕杀野生动物了,让我们人类多一些地球上的朋友,多给我们下一代保留一些野生动物吧!否则,地球将毁灭在人类手中,人类将毁灭在自己手中。
【参考译文】At present, man’s living environment is being ruined, and beautiful nature is no longer so beautiful. Protection of wild life is protection of man himself. So I appeal strongly to all to stop killing the chimpanzee or any other wild animals.Let us human beings have more friends on the earth, and leave more wild life for future generations. Or the earth would be destroyed by man, and man by man himself.007.学习英语到中国来旅游观光的人很少不会注意到中国人学习英语的劲头。
