Part Ⅱ
Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are four passages in this part. 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 center.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
The science of meteorology is concerned with the study of the structure, state, and behavior of the atmosphere. The subject may be approached from several directions, but the scene cannot be fully appreciated from any advantage point. Different views must be integrated to give perspective to the whole picture.
One may consider the condition of the atmosphere at a given moment and attempt to predict changes from that condition over a period of a few hours to a few days ahead. This approach is covered by the branch of the science called synoptic(天气的)meteorology.
Synoptic meteorology is the scientific basis of the technique of weather forecasting by means of the preparation and analysis of weather maps and aerological diagram. The practical importance of the numerous applications of weather forecasting cannot be overestimated. In serving the needs of shipping, aviation, agriculture, industry, and many other interests and fields of human activity with accurate weather warnings and professional forecast advice, great benefits are reaped in the form of the saving of human life and property and in economic advantages of various kinds. One important purpose of the science of meteorology is constantly to strive, through advanced study and research, to increase our knowledge of the atmosphere with the aim of improving the accuracy of weather forecasts.
The tools needed to advance our knowledge in this way are the disciplines of mathematics and physics applied to solve meteorological problems. The use of these tools forms that branch of the science called dynamic meteorology.
21.The best title for the passage is ____.
A) The Basics of Dynamic Meteorology
B) The Limitations of Meteorological Forecasting
C) Approaches to the Science of Meteorology
D) New Advances in Synoptic Meteorology
22.Which of the following is not referred to by the author as a field who
se needs are served by weather forecasting?
A) Sports. B) Transportation.
C) Manufacturing. D) Farming.
23. Which of the following statements best describes the organization of
the third paragraph of the passage?
A) Two contrasting views of a problem are presented.
B) Recent scientific advancements are outlined in order of importance.
C) A procedure is explained and its importance is emphasized.
D) A problem is examined and possible solutions are given.
24. The author implies that increased accuracy in weather forecasting wil
l lead to____.
A) greater protection of human life
B) more funds allocated to meteorological research
C) a higher number of professional forecasters
D) less-specialized forms of synoptic meteorology
25. In the last sentence of the passage, the phrase “ these tools” refers
to____.
A) mathematics and physics
B) weather forecasts
C) meteorological problems
D) economic advantage
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
In the late 1960’s, many people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems, and new steel-and-glass skyscrapers were widely criticized. Ecologists pointed out that a cluster of tall buildings in a city often overburdens public transportation and parking lot capacities.
Skyscrapers are also lavish consumers, and wasters, of electric power. In one recent year, the addition of 17 million square feet of skyscraper office space in New York City raised the peak daily demand for electricity by 120,000 kilowatts——enough to supply the entire city of Albany, New York, for a day.
Glass-walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful. The heat loss (or gain) through a wall of half-inch plate glass is more than ten times that through a typical masonry wall filled with insulation board. To lessen the strain on heating and air-conditioning equipment, builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double-glazed panels of glass, and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that reduce glare as well as heat gain. However, mirror-walled skyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings.
Skyscrapers put a severe strain on a city’s sanitation(卫生) facilities, too
. If fully occupied, the two World Trade Center towers in New York City would alone generate 2.25 million gallons of raw sewage(污物) each year —— as much as a city the size of Stamford, Connecticut, which has a population of more than 109,000.
Skyscrapers also interfere with television reception, block bird flyways, and obstruct air traffic. In Boston in the late 1960’s, some people even feared that shadows from skyscrapers would kill the grass on Boston Common.
Still, people continue to build skyscrapers for all the reasons that they have always built them —— personal ambition, civic pride, and the desire of owners to have the largest possible amount of rentable space.
26. The main purpose of the passage is to ____.
A) discuss the advantages and disadvantages of skyscrapers
B) compare skyscrapers with other modern structures
C) describe skyscrapers and their effect on the environment
D) illustrate various architectural designs of skyscrapers
27. According to the passage, what is one disadvantage of skyscrapers th
at have mirrored walls?
A) The exterior surrounding air is heated.
B) The building materials are very expensive.
C) Construction time is increased.
D) Extra air-conditioning equipment is needed.
28. According to the passage, which aspect of skyscrapers were some resi
dents of Boston concerned with in the late 1960’s ?
A) The poor reception of radio and TV signals.
B) The removal of trees and grass from building sites.
C) The harmful effects on the city’s plants.
D) The obstruction of air traffic.
29. Which of the following groups would the skyscraper issue most concern?
A) Electricians.
B) Environmentalists.
C) City planners.
D) Television viewers.
30. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A) Skyscrapers provide more usable space than other buildings.
B) The skyscrapers first appeared in the late 1960’s.
C) Where there are skyscrapers, television reception is poor.
D) The two World Trade Center towers are skyscrapers.
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
Bill Clinton came to the White House with an ambitious domestic agenda. The two most important issues Clinton had promised to deal with —— the economy and health-care reform —— by themselves would have required of any new administration an enormous investment of political will and energy. But Clinton also chose to press ahead quickly on a wide range of issues: lifting the ban on gays in the military, seeking passage of a highly controversial U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement, pressing campaign finance reform and welfare reform, enacting a national service program to let young people repay federal education loans through community service, proposing an anticrime program, devising a timber policy for the Northwest that balanced economic and environmental interests, and launching a program to streamline government —— or what Vice President Al Gore, put in charge of the effort by Clinton, called “reinventing government.”
It was not surprising, therefore, that Clinton had a different first year in office. He was elected with a less than overwhelming mandate for so sweeping an agenda, having only won 43 percent of the vote in a three-way race against George Bush and the billionaire Ross Perot. And, to carry out his program, he first had to take control of the government.
Ultimately, Clinton won a hard-fought victory on his initial top priority, a deficit-reduction package. But the narrowness of that victory, and the fact that it inspired little enthusiasm among many Americans, raised questions about the strength of his presidency.
On foreign affairs, Clinton was confronted with a more complicated geopolitical map than his predecessors. The competition with the Soviet Union and the Communist world, which had been the central focus of American policymaking for more
than four decades, had given way to less clear-out questions about what role the
U.S. should play in restoring order or keeping the peace in countries like Bosnia and Herzegovian or Somalia.
31.What is the main topic of this passage?
A) Clinton’s victory in the president election.
B) Problems that Clinton tackled successfully.
C) The strength of Clinton’s presidency.
D) The Americans’ support for Bill Clinton.
32.According to the first paragraph, the economy and health-care reform ____.
A) are two issues for all new administrations
B) are not difficult for Clinton’s administration
C) are unsuccessfully tackled by Clinton
D) are difficult to tackle for any new administration
33.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the issues tackled by Clinton?
A) Lifting the ban on gays in the military.
B) Finance reform and welfare reform.
C) Proposing an anticrime program.
D) Increasing military expenses
34.According to the third paragraph, “a deficit-reduction package”____.
A) is a Clinton’s victory won with great effort
B) is Clinton’s first great success
C) has won support from many Americans
D) has been objected to by many Americans
35. On foreign affairs, Clinton encountered ____.
A) the same problems as his predecessors
B) more problems than his predecessors
C) fewer problems than his predecessors
D) more subtle questions than his predecessors
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
The next generation of robots will be able to see objects, will have a sense of touch, and will make critical decisions. Engineering skilled in microelectronics and computer technology are developing artificial vision for robots. With the ability to “see”, robots can identify and inspect one specific class of objects out of a stack of different kinds of materials. One robot vision system uses of electronic digital cameras containing many rows of lights sensitive materials measure the intensity of light and convert the light rays into a range of numbers. The numbers are part of a gray-scale system in which brightness is measured in a range of values. One scale ranges from 0 to 15, and another from 0 to 255.The 0 is represented by black. The highest number is white. The numbers in between represent different shades of gray. The computer then makes the calculations and converts the numbers into a picture that shows an image of the object in question. It is not yet known whether robots will one day have vision as good as human vision. Technicians believe they will, but only after years of development.
Engineers working on other advances are designing and experimenting with new types of articulated metal hands and fingers, giving robots a sense of touch. Other engineers are writing new programs allowing robots to make decisions such as whether to discard defective parts in finished products. To do this, the robot will also have to be capable of identifying those defective parts.
These future robots, assembled with a sense of touch and the ability to see and make decisions, will have plenty of work to do. They can be used to prospect for minerals on the ocean floor or in deep areas of mines too dangerous for humans to enter. They will work as gas station attendants, firefighters, house-keepers, and security personnel. The robot business will continue to grow also. Financial analysts believe this business will soar from a $ 100 million-industry at the start of the 1980s to a $ 5-billion industry by the early 1990s. Anyone wanting to understand the industry of the future will have to know about robots.
36. Why is it so important for robots to be able to “see”?
A) So they can criticize human factory personnel.
B) So they can make critical decisions.
C) So they can work better for human beings.
D) Because they have a strong desire.
37. What kinds of tasks are robots most suitable for?
A) Boring, repetitive, and dangerous tasks.
B) Difficult tasks.
C) Heavy tasks.
D) Strenuous tasks.
38. Why will those people interested in industry have to know about robots?
A) Because robot-business will grow rapidly.
B) Because robots will be very useful.
C) Because robots will become very prevalent in industry.
D) For they can make a lot of money.
39. What is the meaning of “defective” in the second paragraph?
A) Having a noticeable or desire effect.
B) Unquestionable and undoubted.
C) Imperfect, having serious errors.
D) Not enough in quantity.
40. What is the best title for this passage?
A) Future Robots Will Have Plenty of Work to Do.
B) Future Robots Will See, Touch, and Think.
C) Engineers Care Designing New Types of Robots.
D) Future Robots Will Have Visions as Good Human Vision.

Section B
Passage One
Today the official language of the United States and most of Canada is English.
However,French almost became the official language because of a war.
The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this war
is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French.
France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held
Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France
tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754. However, the French defeated Washington.
The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolf of England faced General Nontcalm from Franc
e. Both generals died in this battle, but the English outlasted the French and w
on the battle. Thus, most of North America today has the English culture and language.
Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.
11. On which side did the Indians fight in the war?
12. When did Washington lose his battle at the fort on the Ohio River?
13. What is true according to the passage?
Passage Two
There are over 3,000 languages that are used throughout the world today. Almost all of these languages belong to a much smaller number of language families.
All of the languages within a language family are related and all of them have a
similar history. Therefore, the grammar, vocabulary, and sounds of related languages are similar. In addition, the way of thinking and the style of talking amo
ng related languages is similar.
Even though there are over 3,000 languages that are used today, there are only
20 or 30 major language families. Each of these large families includes many in
dividual languages.
The language that we are using now is English and English is, of course, a mem
ber of a larger language family. English is a member of the Indo-European langua
ge family. The Indo-European language family includes most of the languages that
are spoken throughout Europe, languages such as English, French, and Greek. Of
course, nowadays many Indo-European languages are spoken in other parts of the w
orld. For instance, Spanish, which is an Indo-European language, is spoken throu
ghout South and Central America, but originally it was spoken only in Europe.
Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.
14. How many languages are there in the world today?
15. Which of the following languages is not a member of the Indo-European
language family?
16. Where else is Spanish spoken except in Europe?
Passage Three
If you judge by the number of people who go to see the games and by the number of those who actually play it, basketball is probably the most popular sport in the United States. It is mainly an indoor game, and the seasons extends from late fall, through the winter, to early spring. There are many professional teams
, but for the most part basketball is a second sport. There is hardly a high sch
ool or college in the country that does not have its team and its loyal followin
g of fans.
In spring and summer, the most popular sport is baseball. During the warm wea
ther you can see young men and boys playing this game in any part of the country
. Radio and television bring the details of the big games to every corner of the
land, and the activities of the professional teams are a topic of conversation
for Americans everywhere.
In the fall, the most popular sport is football. As you know, this is not the
same kind of game that is so popular in other parts of the world. Like basketba
ll and baseball, it is typically American, and those who have never seen it befo
re have difficulty seeing any sense in it. But for most of the spectators, the g
ame itself is not as important as music, the cheering, and the festival spirit t
hat go with it. On a cool, bright autumn afternoon, there is nothing so colorful
and exciting as a football game.
Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
17. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
18. How can we tell that basketball is probably the most popular sport in the Un
ited States?
19. During what time of the year is basketball popular in the United States?
20. Which is mainly an indoor game among the three sports mentioned?

ive parts in finished products. To do this, the robot will also have to be capab

正在编写新程序让机器人在成品中剔除的零部件。很显然,不会让机器人去剔除好零
部件,肯定是要剔除坏的、有缺陷的零部件,所以可以断定defective是“有缺陷的,有瑕

Part IV Translation
【翻译指导】本题是英语四级考试的新题型。因为这种汉译英题是留出空来让考生来完成整个
英语句子,所以在做这种汉译英题时一方面要考虑汉语部分,另一方面更重要的是一定要认真
考虑整个英语句子,结合上下文,从英语的语法结构、句型、时态语态、动词非谓语形式、
习惯搭配、词义等方面来考虑,要让完成的汉译英部分与原来的英语部分形成一个完整、通
顺的英语句子。一般来说,每一个要完成的汉译英部分都有一、两个考点,要么是一个语法
项目,要么就是一个习惯搭配短语或句型,只要抓住了要点就成功了一半,其他部分相对来
说就好办了。
1. 【答案】 As long as you have drunk that brand of wine
【详细解答】很清楚,要完成的汉译英部分在本句中是一个条件状语从句,根据意思要用as l
ong as 或 so long as来引导,而主句的谓语动词用的是一般将来时,所以条件状语从句的
谓语动词要用一般现在时或现在完成时来表示一般将来时或将来完成时。根据本句的意思和
上下文的关系,最好用现在完成时have drunk。
2. 【答案】Without your help / But for your help / If it had not been for y
our help
【详细解答】本句有多种译法。一般情况下,要表示“假如没有 ”直接用介词(短语)witho
ut… 或but for…来译,也可用虚拟条件状语从句if it were not for...(与现在事实相
反)或if it had not been for...(与过去事实相反)来译,但本句的主句谓语动词用的
是表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,所以本句要译成if it had not been for...为好。
3. 【答案】is said to have been translated into more than twenty foreign la
nguages
【详细解答】从本句来看,要完成的汉译英部分是整个英语句子的谓语部分。“据说”译
成“ is said ”;本句的关键在于 is said 后一定要用动词不定式;根据本句的意思和逻
辑关系,要用动词不定式的完成式的被动式,译成:to have been translated into more
than twenty foreign languages。
4. 【答案】as everyone knows
【详细解答】本句的关键是要用关系代词as。as 作关系代词引导非限制性定语从句,它在
定语从句内部可以主语或宾语,代表前面的整个主句;在本句中它作knows的宾语。
5. 【答案】 that their principal had come to see them / about their princ
ipal’s having coming to see them
【详细解答】本句的谓语是系表结构,它的表语是形容词happy。由此而来,本句有两种译
法:一种是译成宾语从句,用连词that来引导;另一种在形容词happy后接介词about,再用
动名词的复合结构作介词about的宾语:sb.’s doing sth.。因为校长来看他们的动作发生
在前,所以用宾语从句来译的话,其谓语动词要用过去完成时had come, 而用动名词来译的
话则要用其完成式having come。
6. 【答案】accompanied by her mother
【详细解答】本句要求分词来完成。根据本句的上下文,应该用accompany的过去分词来表
示被动关系,作伴随状语。
7. 【答案】what you have just bought
【详细解答】本句的关键是要用连接代词what来引导的宾语从句。what 引导名词性从句,
其意思有两个:1)什么;2)……的东西(事情),它在名词性从句中可以作主语,也可作
宾语。 它在本句的宾语从句中作谓语动词have bought的宾语。
8. 【答案】80 percent of whom come from the poor areas
【详细解答】本句要完成的汉译英部分是一个非限制性定语从句,关键是要译好“其百分
之八十”。这种结构英语要用下面这种结构:“数字 + of + whom(指人)或which(指
物)”。由于本句的先行词是employees, 所以要译成80 percent of whom…。
9. 【答案】The student had published two novels
【详细解答】本句的英语部分是一个时间状语从句,而要完成的汉译英部分则是其主句。
本句特别要注意的是主、从句的时态要一致。本句的状语从句谓语动词是一般过去时,连词
用的是before,所以很清楚,其主句的谓语动词的动作发生在从句谓语动词之前,应该用过
去完成时had published。
10. 【答案】she felt more overjoyed than surprised
【详细解答】本题的要点是:more + adj./adv. + than + 另一个adj./adv.,意为“与其
……还不如……”。

2) 参考范文:
Our Bad Habits in Life Should be Removed
In our life some of us have very bad habits, such as spitting in public, eating something without washing hands. Someone even goes further, having a mania for eating wild animals. The problem of our bad living habits has again drawn people’s attention because of the appearance of terrible infectious SARS.
Some people think that it is a trivial problem, and only a matter of their own, having nothing to do with others. Is it really the case as they think so? Certainly not! First of all, if a person gets into a bad habit in life, it will do harm to him or her not only physically but also mentally. Furthermore, it may affect others and the society. If a person with bad habits comes down with a terrible infectious disease, it is likely for him or her to infect it to others or perhaps to the society. The sudden worldwide transmission of the terrible SARS is a good case in point. So long as everyone pays attention to his or her personal health and forms good habits in life, the chance of being taken ill will largely decrease, and naturally so will the chance of the spread of wide infectious disease.
In brief, our bad habits in life should be removed and an individual’s good living habits will surely benefit everyone of the society and, to some extent, they reflect the quality of a man as well as of a nation.
