1、四级翻译题精选练习 四级翻译题精选练习(21)1. _ （如果机器真的能像人一样会思考的话），there would be no more reason to fear them than to fear men. 2. When it is short of water，a plant _（一般用蒸发作为降温的手段）. 3. He has never mixed with them or _（同他们坦城交流），but has demanded and generally received a respect due to his position and superior intellige

2、nce. 4.Your Math instructor would have been happy _（给你一次补考机会的）had you gone and explained that your parents were ill at the time. 5. _（随着孩子们在经济上独立出来）of the family，the emphasis on family financial security will shift from protection to saving for the retirement years. 参考答案+解析 1. If machines really tho

3、ught as men do 解析：本题意为：如果机器真的能像人一样会思考的话，那么就没有理由害怕它们，如同没有理由害怕人类一样。考查的是虚拟语气的用法。如果所述与现在事实相反，那么虚拟条件句的从句谓语部分用过去时态，主句谓语部分用would/could/might/should动词原型。如果所述与过去事实相反，则从句谓语用过去完成时态，主句谓语用would/could/might/should动词现在完成时态。如果所述与将来事实相反，则从句谓语用 should/were to动词原型，主句谓语用would/could/should/might动词原型。本题属第一种。 2. normally

4、uses evaporation as a means of cooling 解析：本题主要考查考生的词汇量。“蒸发”和“降温”可以分别用evaporation，cooling。cool本来是形容词“凉爽的，酷的，好的”，作为动词可以表示降温。本句可译为：在缺乏水分时，植物一般用蒸发作为降温的手段。 3. spoken to them on equal terms 解析：本题在理解上有一定难度，首先要看懂全句意思：他从来没有同它们亲密来往，或是同它们坦诚交流，但由于他的地位和高人一筹的聪明才智，他要求、也通常赢得了他们的尊敬。“同他们坦诚交流”的“坦诚”英语里没有一个对应词，只有用短语来表示。

5、on equal terms是一个习惯用语，表示“平等相处”。另外，句子需填入部分还要注意前后时态一致。前半句用的是He has never而or暗示前后是并列结构，所以“交流”也应用完成时态。 4. to give you a make-up examination 解析：要看出本题是一个虚拟语气句，had you gone and explained是由于省略了标记词if而部分倒装。“补考”在英文里有固定搭配make-up examination。make up表示弥补、整理、和解、不足等。make-up暗含“补救”的意思。而这句话没有必要译成to give you a chance of

6、 make-up examination，因为这样在语义上就犯了重复的错误。这句话完整的意思是：如果你去向他解释你父母那时生病了，你的数学老师会乐于给你一次补考机会的。 5. As the children become financially independent 解析：本题考查的是“随着”状语从句，英语可以用as引导。另一个考点是汉语动词词性向英语形容词词性的转换。全句意为：随着孩子们在经济上从家庭中独立出来，家庭经济保障的重心将从保护转移到为退休后的生活储蓄。 2010四级 12月四级完形填空模拟练习(6)2010年11月14日07:02 来源：新东方在线 【发表评论】 分享：Test

19、1 来源：新东方在线 【发表评论】 分享： Unit Seven Passage 1 Who Knows Since no one knows what scientific discoveries will be made between now and the year A. D. 2000, each of us can make his own predictions. Our prophecies (预言) need not be completely wild guesses. We know science has moved forward rapidly in the pas

20、t 50 years and will continue to do so. If we allow our imaginations to be guided by known research, our prophecies need not be sheer fantasy. We dont have to go so far as to predict that there will be invasion by men from Mars, or that all food and nourishment will be taken in capsule form, or that

21、mechanical men will roam the world. With the scientific information that we have available now, lets make an estimate of progress in air travel. It is likely that within 50 years we shall travel through the air at a speed of 10,000 miles per hour. Too fast? Not at all. Jet-propelled planes can now t

22、ravel at least 1,000 miles an hour, and jet planes will be outmoded(过时的) shortly by guided missiles. The X-15 rockets speed in 1961 was 3,690 miles per hour, and scientists are hoping to double and even triple this speed. They will accomplish this speed-up, because there is no apparent scientific ob

23、stacle to prevent it. Some day, certain aerodynamic(空气动力学的) problems will be overcome and missiles will be enlarged to carry at least 25 passengers. When scientists have solved all the problems of constructing and increasing the speed of apparatus-carrying missiles, their skill will lead them to the

24、 next stepmissiles for interplanetary flight. This prediction is a scientific possibility in the near future. Flights into outer space began when Sputnik I was launched in 1957, and man first went into space in 1961. During the late 1950s and early 1960s many satellitesman-made astral bodiesorbited

25、the earth and moon. Satellites, which will be controlled by men on earth, may have many beneficial uses. Perhaps scientists will discover a source of energy 100 miles above the earth. This energy could be transmitted to us as a source of power for manufacturing plants or even for our cook stoves. Or

26、 one of these missiles might serve as the medium for transmitting communications across the globe. Telephonic communications might be carried on by beaming waves at the missile, which would in turn beam waves at a telephone halfway across the world. The missile might be the telephonic connection, fo

27、r example, between you in New York, and a friend in Bangkok. Such a satellite might also be used as the transmitting medium for international television broadcasts. Programs being telecast from a Paris studio could then be seen simultaneously in every other country. This immediate international tran

28、smission will surely be a development before the turn of a new century. We may expect to order our clothing, groceries,and other household goods by television-phone. We prophesy that within twenty five years, our telephones will be equipped with television screens so that we can see the person at th

29、e other end of the line. Other fields of science have also made gigantic (巨大的 ) strides in progress. Medicine had operated so efficiently in the past half-century that many diseases have been nearly wiped out. And more will join this disappearing group of diseases. Diabetes and polio are under control. We can hope and expect that cancer will be conquered. Certain skin diseases, like psoriasis and eczema, which are exceedingly common though not fatal, will be eradicated(消灭). The vict
