25、estions(15 minutes)赧I once knew a dog named Newton who had a unique sense of humour. Whenever I tossed out a Frisbee(飞碟)for him to chase, hed take off in hot pursuit but then seem to lose track of it. Moving back and forth only a yard or two from the toy, Newton would look all around, even up into t
26、he trees. He seemed genuinely puzzled. Finally, Id give up and head into the field to help him out. But no sooner would I get within 10 ft. of him than he would run invariably straight over to the Frisbee, grab it and start running like mad, looking over his shoulder with what looked suspiciously li
27、ke a grin.Just about every pet owner has a story like this and is eager to share it with anyone who will listen. On very short notice, TIME reporters came up with 25 stories about what each is convinced is the smartest pet in the world. Among them: the cat who closes the door behind him when he goes
28、 into the bathroom; the cat who uses a toilet instead of a litter box . and flushes it afterward; the dog who goes wild when he sees his owner putting on blue jeans instead of a dress because jeans mean it is time to play; and the cat who used to wait patiently at the bus stop every day for a little
29、 girl, then walk her the six blocks home, and so 0n.考试大These behaviours are certainly clever, but what do they mean? Was Newton really deceiving? Can a cat really desire privacy in the toilet? In short, do household pets really have a mental and emotional life? Their owners think so, but until recen
30、tly, animal behaviour experts would have gone mad on hearing such a question. The worst sin in their moral vocabulary was anthropomorphism(拟人化),projecting human traits onto animals. A dog or a cat might behave as if it were angry, lonely, sad, happy or confused, but that was only in the eye of the v
31、iewer.What was going on, they insisted, was that the dog or cat had been conditioned, through a perhaps unintentional series of punishments and rewards, to behave in a certain way. The behaviour was a mechanical result of the training.Questions:1. What did Newton seem puzzled about?歙际源。2. Why does t
32、he author say Newton had unique sense of humour?4. What belief about pet behaviour was unacceptable to experts of animal behaviour?5. What is the explanation of animal-behaviour experts for the “clever” behaviour of pets?大学英语四级考试翻译练习四练习四Directions: Read the underlined sentences carefully, and then t
33、ranslate them into Chinese. You may check your answers after you finish them.Passage OneAnybody over 70 who was brought up in a country v川age or town finds the social customs of young people today strangely familiar. In the 1800/s, it was normal to have boys and girls pair off in a more or less stab
34、le fashion, and such pairing often ended in marriage.But the majority of girls were not popular. They dreaded being neglected in parties. It may be that the less popular girls were the ones who slowly created the present democratic system, under which any girl with a steady is just as well off as an
35、y other girl with a steady (情彳吕).Since each boy wants a steady, too, and since the number of boys and girls are about equal, everybody seems better off at present. On the other hand, girls would insist that the new system was created by the boys who are aggressive, possessive, and jealous of all riv
36、als.Passage TwoIt remains to be seen whether the reserves of raw materials would be sufficient to supply a world economy which would have grown by 500%. South-East Asia alone would have an energy consumption five times greater than that of Western Europe in 1970. Incidentally, if the underdeveloped
37、countries started using up petrol at the same rate as the industrialized areas, then world reserves would already be exhausted by 1985.All this only goes to show just how important it is to set up a plan to conserve and divide up fairly natural resources on a world-wide scale.This is a matter of lif
38、e and death because world population is exploding at an incredible rate. By the middle of the next century population will expand every year by as much as it did in the first 1500 years after Christ. In the southern, poor, parts of the globe, the figures are enough to make your hair stand on end. Ev
39、en supposing that steps are taken to stability (稳定) world population in te next 50 years, the number of inhabitants per square kilometer will increase by from 4 in the United States to 140 in South-East Asia. What can we do about it?In the first hypothesis (假设)we do nothing. By the year 2000, the so
40、uthern parts of the world then have a population greater than the total world population today. Calcutta would have 60 million inhabitants. It is unthinkable.Alternatively (或),we could start acting right now to bring births under control within 15 years so that population levels off. Even then the p
41、opulation in the southern areas would not stop growing for 75 years.Passage ThreeOne of the most interesting paradoxes (逆说)in America today is that Harvard University, the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States, is now engaged in serious debate about what a university should be,
42、and whether it is measuring up.Like the Roman Catholic (天主教的)Church and other ancient institutions, it is asking-still in private rather than in public-whether its past assumptions about faculty, authority, admissions, courses of study, are really relevant to the problems of the 1980?s.Should Harvar
43、d-or any other university-be an intellectual sanctuary (圣坛), apart from the political and social revolution of the age, or should it be a laboratory for experimentation with these political and social revolutions, or even an engine of the revolution? This is what is being discussed privately in the
44、big houses of faculty members around the Harvard Yard.The issue was defined by Walter lippmann a distinguished Harvard graduate, several years ago.“If the universities are to do their work, he said,“they must be independent and they must be disinterested- They are places to which men can turn for ju
45、dgements which are unbiased by partisanship and special interest. Obviously, the moment the universities fall under political control, or under the control of private interest, or the moment they themselves take a hand in politics and the leadership of government, their value as independent and disi
46、nterested sources of judgement is weakened -This is part of the argument that is going on at Harvard today. Another part is the argument among the students that a university is the keeper of our ideals and morals, and should not be “disinterested“ but activist in bringing the nations ideals and acti
47、ons together.大学英语四级考试阅读讲义(五十六)Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Whatever the cause, the effect can be devastating. As an American woman, you have an almost nine-out-of-ten chance of ending up alone. Either your marriage is one of the four in ten that will be broken up by divorce,
48、 or you will outlive your male partner by four to six yearseven longer if you are younger than he (and you probably are). And dont deceive yourself. Widows arent all blue-haired ladies playing mahjong (麻将)in Miami. Theyre also your fiftyish big sisters from college. Whether by death or divorce, you will likely someday be solely responsible for your financial security and well-being. If you arent preparing for that, you are at high risk of outliving your assets. Three out of four older poor Americans are female.31. This passage is mainly about.A) t
