Part IWriting

这是一篇四级考试中常见的图画作文。图片中展现的是一个女孩告诉妈妈她考入了妈妈心中理想的学校,其寓意是揭露现如今的家长为孩子做重大决定的普遍现象。

做自己命运的主人

正如图片中生动描绘的那样,一个女孩正在告诉她的妈妈:“好消息,我被你选择的大学录取了。”但讽刺的是,“你选择的”这几个字揭露了一个事实,那就是这个刚刚被实现的梦想并不属于这个女孩。

现如今的一个普遍现象是父母为孩子做很多决定,甚至在他们人生的重大转折点,包括选择大学和专业、找工作或是结婚:很多原因可以解释这一现象。首先,父母总是认为他们可以比孩子做出更明智的决定。而且,对于家里的独生子女,父母给予了太多的关注。此外,父母让孩子做他们想让孩子做的事情,好像这是实现他们自己未实现的梦想的唯一途径。

对青少年来说,人生道路很漫长。他们最终要自己做决定。而成为自己命运的主人是成长过程中的一大步。

作为一名老师,你可以用很多种方法把社区搬到你的教室里。学生的父母和祖父母对孩子们来说走贫源又是(36)资产。他们可以成为传授其个人传统和历史的(37)优秀老师。外来移民的家长可以谈论他们(38)本土国以及他们为什么要移民到美国。家长们可以被邀请来谈论他们的工作或是一个社区项目。当然,家长们并不是唯一的社区资源。当地企业的员工或是社区机构人员都有着(39)最新的信息可以在课堂中分享。

实地考察为我们提供了另一个了解社区的机会。很多学生除了通过实地考察,没有机会(40)参加音乐会或是参观博物馆和历史景点。一个学区应该有选择和实施实地考察的(41)指导方针。每个家庭应该对实地考察(42)有一定认识且允许孩子参加。 通过校园的项目,学生们可以学习(43)参与一些社区活动,从植树到清理公园再到帮助老年人。学生们,(44)尤其是年龄大一些的,可以进行可能会使市政府或州政府采取行动的社区需求方面的调研。一些学校要求学生提供社区服务,比如在养老院、幼儿托管所或是政府机构里(45)做志愿服务。这些项目有助于学生们理解他们对更大社区的责任.

名词:A.assets资产,财产;G.guidelines指导方针;L.origin起源

动词:B.attend参加;H.involved包含;涉及;I.joining加入;K.observe观察;M.recruited招募;O.volunteerin9自愿(做某事)

形容词:C.aware意识到的;E.excellent优秀的;F.expensive昂贵的;H.involved有关的;N.up—to.date最新的副词:D.especially尤其;J.naturally自然地

36.Aassets

为名词,故空格处也应填入一个名词。前句中提到,作为一名老师,你可以用很多种方法把社区搬到你的教室。父母和祖父母是孩子们的资源,且后文中又表述了他们可以教给孩子们的东西,结合resources和备选名词可知,assets“资产,财产”为答案。备选的名词中,9uidelines意为“指导方针”,origin意为“起源”,均不适合来解释父母和祖父母的角色,不符合句意,故均排除。

37. E. excellent

词。除去空格处的词义外,句意为:他们可以成为传授其个人传统和历史的老师。用某个形容词来修饰teachers,备选的形容词中,只有excellent“优秀的”符合句意,故为答案。备选的形容词中,aware“意识到的”、expensive“昂贵的”、involved“有关的”和up—to—date“最新的”均不可修饰teachers,故均排除。

38. L. origin

词。country of origin为固定搭配,意思是“起源国,原产国”,这里指的是移民的本土国,故0rigin“起源”为答案。备选的名词中,guidelines意为“指导方针”,显然不符合句意,故排除。

39. N. up-to-dateo

为形容词。该句句意为:当地企业的员工或是社区机构人员都有着一信息可以在课堂中分享。根据常识判断,和上文中提到的家长相比,企业的员工和社区机构人员能够给孩子们带来更前沿的信息,而up-t0date“最新的”恰好符合句意,故为答案。备选的形容词中,aware“意识到的”、expensive“昂贵的”和involved“有关的”均不符合句意,故均排除。

40. B. attend

为动词原形。此处意思是很多学生没有机会去参加音乐会,故attend“参加”为答案。备选的动词原形observe意为“观察”,不符合句意,故排除。

41. G. guidelines

故该空格处应为名词。上文中提到了实地考察给学生们带来的好处。再根据整句句意一个学区应该有选择和实施实地考察的——。故guidelines“指导方针”为答案。

42. C. awareo

主动语态,此处应是be——0f,故推测空格处为形容词。固定搭配be aware of意为“知道,有一定认识”,符合句意,故答案为aware“意识到的”。

43. H. involved

填入一个形容词。根据句中后面部分的ranging from planting trees to cleaning up a park…可知这些都是社区活动。固定搭配be involved in意为“参与”,符合句意,故答案为involved“有关的”。备选的形容词expensive“昂贵的”不符合句意,故排除。

44. D. especially

填入副词。分析旬意可知,students显然是一个大的范围,而older ones则为其中一个部分,因此是在具体举例或是特殊强调,只有especially“尤其”能够起到这样的作用,由此确定答案。备选副词naturally“自然地”不符合句意,故排除。

45.volunteering 词的现在分词形式。该句前半部分为学校要求学生提供社区服务,而后半部分具体列举在养老院、幼儿托管所或是政府机构,根据常识判断,学生在这几个地方提供的一般都是志愿者服务,因此volunteerin9“自愿(做某事)”,符合句意,故为答案。备选的动名词中,joinin9意为“加入”,但是join in意思是“加入,参加”,不符合句意,故排除。

收获冒险带来的回报

A.自从史蒂夫•乔布斯辞去苹果公司的首席执行官职务,他无与伦比的商业领袖的身份为人称道,他为股东创造了巨大的财富,并且引导设计了变革整个音乐和移动通讯行业的拳头产品。

B.这一切都是真的,但是,让我们换一种想法,借用一下苹果公司多年前的营销口号。让我们把乔布斯先生视为一住行为榜样。

C.首先,他是一个创新者。他的创造力在诸如iPod,iPhone和iPad这样的产品中可见一斑,以及在对音乐和在线手机软件进行定价和推销的新商业模式中得以体现。对于创新的研究会得出相同的结论:你无法策划创新,但是你可以增加它发生的可能性。而乔布斯先生的事业可以被视为对增加这种可能性的不断追求,不仅是为了他自己,同时也是为了他所领导的公司。当然,乔布斯先生也非常享受这种非凡的成功。(51)但是创新,广泛地定义为所有经济进步的关键要素——给国家带来更快的发展,让公司拥有更多有竞争力的产品,给个人带来更兴旺的事业。很多专家说,乔布斯先生为我们展示了在创新游戏中是什么在起作用。

D.一位为企业和政府提供创新咨询的顾问约翰•高说:“我们可以从史蒂夫•乔布斯那里看到并学习到美国创新的本质是什么。”(49)他指出,目前很多其他国家在生产创新的原材料方面领先于美国。这些包括政府对于科研方面的资金支持、国家对于新兴产业的政策扶持、教育上的成果、工程师和科学家的培养,甚至还有互联网宽带服务的网速。

E.(52)但是,高先生补充说,其他国家明显缺少的是一种鼓励多样性、实验、冒险和把多种不同领域的技能融入到产品之中的他称之为“打碎重组”的社会环境。正如iPhone,重新定义了智能手机的范畴。他说:“其他国家的文化并不会像美国那样支持乔布斯所示范的创新。”

F.如今所有行业的工作人员都被告知广泛的好奇心和不断的学习对振兴现代经济至关重要。(54)职业顾问说,正规教育很重要,但是真实的生活经历通常甚至更有价值。

G.乔布斯先生是一个被领养的孩子,在硅谷长大,他很早便表现出了那些品质。他小时候就对电子产品着迷,建立Heathldt自己动手项目,比如收音机。他仅仅上了一个学期的课便从瑞德学院辍学,从此便游历印度寻找灵感,之后才回到硅谷和他的朋友史蒂芬•沃兹涅克,一个工程界的奇才,共同创办了苹果公司。乔布斯在1985年被迫离开了苹果公司,之后创办了另外两家公司——Next和Pixar,他在1996年再次回到苹果公司,并于1997年成为了首席执行官。

H.他的道路是不同寻常的,但是创新专家说这种探索模式是正常的。(53)欧洲企业管理研究院的一名教授赫尔•葛瑞格森说:“通常正是像乔布斯这样可以从多种经历中有所借鉴的人才能经常产生突破性的想法和见解。”

I.葛瑞格森先生是《创新者的DNA)这本新书的合著者。这本书是基于对全球5,000位创业者和高管们长达八年的研究写成的。该书的另两位合著者为杨百翰大学的教授杰夫•代尔和哈佛商学院的教授克莱顿•克里斯坦森,后者l997年出版的书《创新者的困境》普及了“颠覆性创新”的概念。

J.学术界发现了颠覆性创新者的五个共同特点:质疑、实验、观察、联想和建立关系网。这些特点的总与其他专家所提到的不断的好奇心和勇于冒险相呼应。赫尔•葛瑞格森解释说,这里的建立关系网,并不是构建事业关系,而是对于新想法的不断探求。(50)他补充说,联想指的是通过将不同学科的概念联系到一起:从而丝盛能够产生新想法的关联的能力。

K.葛瑞格森先生说:“创新者会定期参与这种脑力活动,这是他们的一种习惯。”据书的作者说,创新型公司确实会在股票市场中获得更高的估价,他们称之为“创新溢价”。它是通过对公司股价的估算,而不是通过对其现有的产品或是资金流来计算的。创新溢价试图量化投资者因公司的创新而赌公司将来会更好的预期。

L.通过他们的计算,苹果公司在乔布斯先生掌管的第一阶段有37%的创新溢价。(55)他离开的时间里发生了31%的创新折价。在他曰归之后,苹果公司的财富在一开始逐渐增长,从2005年开始显著地增长,从那时起便达到了52%的创新溢价。

M)这并没有真凭实据,但赫尔•葛瑞格森说,乔布斯先生如果没有离开苹果公司之后的经历,(48)尤其是在制作了一系列重要的、成功的商业电影如《玩具总动员》和《飞屋环游记》的Par动画制作工作室的那段时间,那么他在苹果公司的第二阶段内就不可能彻底改造这个产业.

N.乔布斯先生在2005年斯坦福大学的毕业典礼上说过大致相同的话=(47)他告诉学生:“事实证明被苹果公司辞退是我遇到的最好的事情了:”他也提到了坚持和意志力:他说:“有时候生活会给你当头一棒。不要失去信念。”

O.(46)乔布斯先生通过对创新的呼吁结束了典礼致辞,倡导大家在择业和生活上都要创新:他对学生们说,要有好奇心、敢于实践和冒险。他引用了《全球目录》最终版的封底上的文字“求知若饥,虚心若愚”对这些建议进行了强调。他补充道:“我经常希望自己是这样,而现在,鉴于你们已经毕业了,要重新开始,我希望你们也是这样。”

46. Steve Jobs called on Stanford graduates to innovateinhiscommencement address.

O. Mr. Jobs ended his commencement talk with a call to innovation, both in one"s choice of work and in one"s life. Be curious,experiment,take risks,he said to the students. His advice was emphasized by the words on the back of the final edition of The Who/e Earth Catalog, which he quoted: "Stay hungry. Stay foolish. " "And," Mr. Jobs said, "I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. "

47. Steve Jobs considered himself lucky to have been fired once by Apple.

N. Mr.Jobssuggestedmuchthesamethingduringa commencement address to the graduating class at StanfordUniversity in 2005."It turned out that getting fired fromApple was the best thing that could have ever happened tome," he told the students.Mr.Jobs also spokeofper"severance (坚持 . and will power."Sometimes life hitsyou in the head with a brick," he said. "Don"t lose faith. "

48. Steve Jobs once used computers to make movies that were commercial hits.

M. There is no conclusive proof, but Mr. Hal Gregersen says it is unlikely that Mr. Jobs could have reshaped industries beyond computing, as he has done in his second term at Apple,without theexperienceoutside thecompany, especially at Pixar--the computer-animation ( 动画制作 )studio that created a string of critically and commerciallysuccessful movies, such as "Toy Story" and "Up. "

49. Many governmentshavedonemore than the US government inproviding the raw materials forinnovation.

D. "We can look at and learn from Steve Jobs what the essence ofAmerican innovation is,"John Kao,an innovation consultant to corporations and governments.Many othernations, Mr. John Kao notes, are now ahead of the United States in producwhat are considered the raw materials ofinnovation. These include government financing for scientific research, national policies to support emerging industries, educational achevement, engineers and scientists graduated, even the speeds of Interuet broadband service.

50. Great innovatorsare goodat connecting concepts from various academic fields.

J. The academics identify five traits that are common to thedisruptive innovators: questioning, experimenting, observing,associating and networking.Their bundle of characteristics echoes the ceaseless curiosity and willingness to take risks noted by other experts.Networking,Mr.Hal Gregersenexplains, is less about career-building relationships than a consistent search for new ideas. Associating, he adds, is the ability to make idea-producing connections cncepts from different disciplines.

51. Innovation is vital todriving economicprogress.

C. Above all, he is an innovator (创新者 ). His creative force is seen inproducts such as the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, and in new business modelsfor pricing and distributing music and mobile software online. Studies ofinnovation come to the same conclusion: you can"t engineer innovation, butyou can increase the odds of it occtwring. And Mr. Jobs" career can beviewed as a consistent pursuit of improving those odds, both for himself and the companies he has led. Mr. Jobs, of course, has enjoyed singularsuccess. But innovation, broadly defined, is the erncial gredlent in alleeonomirogress--higher growth for nations, more competitive productsfor companies, and more prosperous careers for individuals. And Mr. Jobs, many experts say, exemplifies what works in the innovation game.

52, America has a social environmentflint is particularly favorable toinnowation.

E. Yet what other nation,s ack, Mr. Kao adds, is a socialenvironment that encottra ges diversity, experimentations, risk-taking, aad combining skills from many fields into products thathe calls " recombinant mash-ups ( 打碎重组. ,ke theiPhone, which redefined the smartphon.e category. "The cplture

of other countries doesn"t support the kind of innovation thatSteve Jobs exemplifies, as America does." Mr. John Kao says.

53. Innovative ideas often come fromdiveme experiences.

H.His path was unique, but innovation experts say the pattern of exploration is not unusual. "It"s often people like Steve Jobswho can draw from a deep reservoir of diverse experiences that often generate breakthrough ideas and insights," says Hal Gregemen, a professor at the European Institute of BusinessAdministration.

54. Real-life experience is often more important than formal education for career success.

F. Workers of every rank are told these days that wide-ranging curiosity and continuous learning are vital to thriving in the modern economy. Formal education matters, career counselorssay, but real-llfe experience is often even morevaluable.

55. Apple"s fortunes suffere from an innovation discount during Jobs" absence.

L . Apple, by their calculations, had a 37 percentinnovation premium during Mr. Jobs" first term withthe company. His years in exile resulted in a 31percent innovation discount.After his return,Apple"s fortunes improved gradually at first, andimproved markedly starting in 2005, yielding a 52percent innovation premium since then.

(56)垃圾食品无处不在。我们吃得实在是太多了。我们中的大多数人明明知道自己在做什么,但是还依然这么做。

(60)因此兰德公司的两住研究员提出以下建议:为什么不借鉴控酒政策,并将其运用到食品的出售场所和摆放模式上呢?

(57)“很多控制肥胖症的政策措施都假定人们能够有意识并理性地选择吃什么、吃多少,因此这些政策措施重点在于提供有关健康食品的信息和获取渠道,”两位研究者提到。

(57)“相反,”研究人员继续说道,“很多没有假定人们会做出理性选择的规章条例已成功地应用于酒精管控:和食品一样,酒精是一种无节制摄取会导致严重健康问题的物质。”

该研究参考了有关人们饮食和饮酒行为的研究成果以及对酒精管控的效果,然后列举出五项研究者认为有望实施到垃圾食品上的规定。其中包括:

(58)密度限制:售酒许可证不是毫无计划地颁发给所有申请者,而是基于某一地区现有售酒场所的数量分配的。这使人们不那么容易买到酒,以此减少饮酒的心理暗示。同样,研究者说,看到垃圾食品就能刺激人们吃的欲望。因此,为何不限制食品销售点的密度,尤其是出售那些富含空热量的食品呢?为何不限制那些不是主要经营食品的商店里面的食品销售呢?

(59)摆放与出售限制:加利福尼亚州规定加油站不得将酒类摆放在收银台附近,而且在大部分地区,你在提供免下车服务的场所买不到酒类。在超市里,食品公司花钱将其产品放在消费者易见的区域。因此,可以将垃圾食品转移到商店的后面,并禁止将其摆放在结账队伍旁的货架上。其他的措施还包括限制食物量、向垃圾食品征税、禁止垃圾食品特价销售以及在产品上贴警告标志。

(61)柯达公司申请破产保护的决定虽然并不出乎意料,但对这个领先的美国公司来说是一个令人伤心的转折点。柯达公司开创了消费者摄影的先河,并且统领胶片市场长达几十年。然而,它最终未能适应数字化主这一发展趋势。

(62)尽管许多人把柯达公司的衰落归因于它的“自满”,但这一解释掩盖了柯达公司为了改造自己而做出的长期努力。几十年前,柯达公司就已经预见到数码摄影将会赶超胶片。事实上,柯达公司在1975就发明了第一台数码照相机。然而,在这一决定命运的抉择中,柯达公司选择了搁置新发明而把注意力继续集主查传统堂片业务上。

哈佛商学院的教授丽贝卡•亨德森说,柯达公司并非无视未来,而是它没有实施策略来应对未来。当这家公司意识到自己的错误时,却为时已晚。 柯迭公司是这样一个例子:它非常清楚地意识到必须适应未来,而且花了大量的金钱4-$2这样做,但最终还是以失败告终。(62)大公司很难转向新市场,因为把现有的资产投放到新业务上是要经受住一定诱惑的。

尽管柯达公司预料到数码摄影终将崛起,(63)但它的企业文化过度沉溺于过去的辉煌,以至于它无法塑底脱离过去,也就无法全力迎接未来。柯达是一家时间还停留在过去的公司。(64)它的历史对它来说如此重要,以至于现在它的历史已经成为它的一种负担。

柯达公司在过去几十年间的衰落是极具戏剧性的。l976年,这家公司占据了摄影胶片市场90%的份额和照相机市场85%的份额。然而,20世纪80年代,柯达公司遇到了一个新的竞争对手——日本的富士胶片公司。富士公司通过压低胶片和照片的价格来打压柯达公司。(65)柯达公司决定不寻求成为1984年洛杉矾奥运会的官方胶片赞助商是一个重大的决策失误。富士公司获得了竞标,并利用这次赞助在市场上赢得了永久的立足点。

In the eyes of the western people, the basic food that is mostly related to China is rice. For a long time,rice has played a very important part in Chinese people"s diet, so that there is a proverb that goes like this: Onecan"t make bricks without straw. Rice is mainly grown in southern China and people usually eat rice as thestaple food. Since it is too cold or too dry to grow rice in most areas of northern China, wheat is the maincrop. In China, some people use flour to make bread, but for most people, it is used to make steamed buns

and noodles.

1.翻译第一句时,注意“在……心目中”要翻译为in the eyes of…。“和中国联系最为密切的基本食物”要使用定语从句,其中“基本食物”the basic food作为先行词;“和中国联系最为密切”可翻译为that is mostly related to China,修饰the basic food。

2.翻译第二句时,要注意“以至于”前后为两个完整的句子,所以用SOthat来连接。前句中“长期以来”译为for a long time;“占据很重要的地位”译为has played a very important part in…。后句中的谚语“巧妇难为无米之 炊”可以采用直译法译为Even a clever woman can"t cook a good meal without rice.还可以采用意译法译为If you have no hand you can’t make a fist./You Can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs./You Can’t make a silk purse out of a SOW’S ear./You can’t make something out of nothing.等。

3.第三句包含两个用分号隔开的分句,因为句子太长,翻译时可译为两个独立的句子。翻译第一个分句时,注意 “中国南方大多种植水稻”要采用被动语态,可翻译为rice is mainly grown in southern China;“以……为主食”可译为eat…as the staple food。翻译后一个分句时,也将其独立成句。注意“华北大部分地区过于寒冷或 过于干燥”是“无法种植水稻”的原因,但是属于众所周知的客观原因,因此用since来引导即可。另外,这里 用too…to…句型来表示“过于……而无法……”。

4.翻译最后一句时,注意“用面粉做面包”和“用面粉做馒头和面条”要尽量避免使用相同的句式,故前一句翻译 为use flour to make bread,而后一句则翻译为it is used to make steamed buns and noodles。
