翻译：
教育公平，中国投入360亿元，用于改善农村地区教育设施和加强中西部农村义务教育（compulsory ecation ）。这些基金用于改善教学设施，购买书籍，使116万多所中小学受益。资金还用于购置音乐和绘画器材，现在农村和山区的儿童可以与沿海城市的儿童一样上音乐和绘画课。一些为接受更好教育而转往城市上学的学生如今又回到本地农村学校就读。
In order to promote the justice in ecation, China has already invested 36 billion RMB, which is used to enhance the teaching facilities of the countryside and compulsory ecation of rural area of mid-west.
These funds can be used to improve the teaching aids and to purchase books, benefiting 16,000 middle schools and primary schools. Furthermore, these funds can also be used to purchase instrument for music and paintings. Nowadays, children from countryside and mountain areas can enjoy music class and painting class like the children in coastal areas do. Some students who were previously transferred to cities for better ecation now return to local areas to study.
中国进一步发展核能，因为核电目前只占其总发电量的2%。该比例在所有核国家中居第30位，几乎是最低的。
2011年3月日本核电站事故后，中国的核能开发停了下来，中止审批新的核电站，并开展全国性的核安全检查。到2012年10月，审批才又谨慎地恢复。
随着技术和安全措施的改进，发生事故de可能性完全可以降低到最低程度。换句话说，核能是可以安全开发和利用的。
China should develop the energy of nuclear more, for nuclear power only accounts for 2% of the gross electrical power output, which makes China the least, the 30th,in the list of countries which own nuclear power.
After the Japan's accidents in March 2011, the exploration of nuclear power has been suspended, including halting the examining and approving new nuclear power stations as well as safety inspection of all the nuclear stations in the country. The approval didn't recover until
October, 2012.
With the improvement of technology and safety arrangement, the possibilities of nuclear accidents could be reced to the minimum degree. That is to say, nuclear power could be developed and utilized without accidents.
中国的教育工作者早就认识到读书对于国家的意义。有些教育工作者2003年就建议设立全民读书日。他们强调，人们应当读好书，尤其是经典著作。通过阅读，人们能更好的学会感恩、有责任心和与人合作，而教育的目的正是要培养这些基本素质。阅读对于中小学生尤为重要，假如他们没有在这个关键时期培养阅读的兴趣，以后要培养成阅读的习惯就更难了。
Chinese ecators have already realized the significance of reading for a nation. Some workers suggested that we have a national reading day in 2003. They emphasized that people should read good books especially the classic ones. Through reading, people can learn better how to be grateful, responsible and cooperative. The goal of ecation is to cultivate these basic personalities. Reading is especially important for middle and primary school students. Suppose they don't nurture the interest of reading at that key moment, it will be harder to develop a habit to read books.
写作：
Suppose a foreign friend of yours is coming to visit your hometown/campus/China. Where would you show her and why?
As one of the most bewitching and international cities in China, I strongly recommend you, my dearest friends, to pay a visit to my hometown--Beijing. It is the capital of China for several dynasties over a long period. In the meantime, it has now evolved into the political, cultural and ecational center.There are many places of interests here in Beijing, among which the Summer Palace is the most interesting attraction.
The Summer Palace is situated in the western outskirts of Beijing, and it is one of the most classical gardens in China, which enjoys a worldwide reputation. The most alluring scenery is Kunming Lake, with an exquisite building in the middle, and it involves three parts which are mainly used as the ancient empress's living quarter.
I'm sure you can definitely experience the characteristic and traditional culture of China. Hope you could enjoy your trip!
2. 2014年6月大学英语四级考试（第二套） 仔细阅读（1）
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
Hospitals, hoping to curb medical error, have invested heavily to put computers, smartphones and other devices into the hands of medical staff for instant access to patient data, drug information and case studies.
But like many cures, this solution has come with an unintended side effect: doctors and nurses can be focused on the screen and not the patient, even ring moments of critical care. A poll showed that half of medical technicians had admitted texting ring a procere.
This phenomenon has set off an intensifying discussion at hospitals and medical schools about a problem perhaps best described as "distracted doctoring." In response, some hospitals have begun limiting the use of electronic devices in critical settings, while schools have started reminding medical students to focus on patients instead of devices.
"You justify carrying devices around the hospital to do medical records, but you can surf the Internet or do Facebook, and sometimes Facebook is more tempting," said Dr. Peter Papadakos at the University of Rochester Medical Center. "My gut feeling (本能的感芹缓尘觉嫌禅is lives are in danger," said Dr. Papadakos. "哪让We're not ecating people about the problem, and it's getting worse."
A survey of 439 medical technicians found that 55 percent of technicians who monitor bypass machines acknowledged that they had talked on cellphones ring heart surgery. Half said they had texted while in surgery. The study concluded, "Such distractions have the potential to be disastrous."
Medical professionals have always faced interruptions from cellphones, and multitasking is simply a fact of life for many medical jobs. What has changed, say doctors, especially younger ones, is that they face increasing pressure to interact with their devices.
The pressure stems from a mantra (信条) of modem medicine that patient care must be "data driven," and informed by the latest, instantly accessible information. By many accounts, the technology has helped rece medical error by providing instant access to patient data or prescription details.
Dr. Peter Carmel, president of the American Medical Association, said technology "offers great potential in health care."
but he added that doctors' first priority should be with the patient.
56. Why do hospitals equip their staff with computers, smartphones and other devices?
A.To rece medical error.
B.To cope with emergencies.
C.To facilitate administration.
D.To simplify medical proceres.
57. What does the author refer to by "distracted doctoring"?
A.The disservice done by modem devices to doctors, nurses, as well as patients.
B.The tendency of medical institutions encouraging the use of modem devices.
C.The problem of devices preventing doctors from focusing on their patients.
D.The phenomenon of medical staff attending to personal affairs while working.
58. What does Dr. Peter Papadakos worry about?
A.Medical students are not adequately trained to use modem technology.
B.Doctor's interaction with their devices may endanger patients' lives.
C.Doctors are relying too heavily on modem electronic technology.
D.Pressures on the medical profession may become overwhelming.
59. Why do doctors feel increasing pressure to use modem devices?
A.Patients trust doctors who use modern technology.
B.Use of modem devices adds to hospitals' revenues.
C.Data is given too much importance in patient care.
D.Patients' data has to be revised from time to time.
60. What is Peter Carmel's advice to doctors?
A.They follow closely the advances in medical science.
B.They focus their attention on the patient's condition.
C.They observe hospital rules and regulations.
D.They make the best use of modem devices.

Write an essay which should cover:
1) describing the drawing below,
2) stating its main idea, and
3) giving your comment.
阅读一
Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks--- we are not born with them.
A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around--- family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the US looks much alike.
New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that can not be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us.
This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the US, for example, the south is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York States still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people in Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.
1.Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ___________.
A.has little to do with culture B.has much to do much culture
C.is ever changing D.is different from place to place
2.According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formed _________.
A.before birth B.as soon as one’s teeth are newly set
C.some time after new teeth are set D.around 15 years old
3.Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the US a person is from by _______.
A.how much he or she smiles B.how he or she raise his or her eyebrows
C.what he or she likes best D.the way he or she talks
4.People who live _________ are more friendly.
A.in largely populated areas B.in New York City
C.in the country D.in the North

California—Upset by the war in Iraq, Julia Wilson expressed her anger and impatience with
President Bush last spring on her web page on MySpace.com . She posted a picture of the president, wrote “Kill Bush ” across the top and drew a sword stabbing his outstretched hand. She later replaced her page after learning in her eighth-grade history class that such threats are a federal offense.
It was too late, Federal authorities had found the page and placed Wilson on their checklist. They finally reached her this week in her biology class. The 14—year—old was taken out of class Wednesday and questioned for about 15 minutes by two Secret Service agents. The incident has upset her parents, who said the agents should have included them when questioning their daughter.
The teenager said the agents’ questioning led her to tears. “I wasn’t dangerous,” said Wilson, an honor student who describes herself as politically enthusiastic. “I’m a peace-loving person. I’m against the war in Iraq. I’m not going to kill the president.”
Her mother, Kirstie Wilson, said two agents showed up at the family’s home Wednesday afternoon, questioned her and promised to return once her daughter was home from school.
After they left, Kirstie Wilson sent a next message to her daughter’s call phone, asking her to come straight home and telling her that two men from the secret service wanted to talk with her.
But moments later, Kirstie Wilson received a text message from her daughter saying agents had pulled her out of class.
Julia Wilson said the agents threatened her, saying she could be sent to court for making the threat. “They yelled at me a lot,” she said. “They were unnecessarily mean.”
Wilson and her parents said the agents were justified in questioning her over her MySpace.com posting. But they said the agents went too far by not waiting until she was out of school and the agents should have more quickly figured out they weren’t dealing with a real danger.
Assistant Principal Paul Robinon said the agents gave him the impression the girl’s mother knew they were planning to question her daughter at school. There is no legal requirement that parents be notified.
“This has been an on-going problem.” said Ann Brick, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties union in San Francisco.
Former governors Pete Wilson and Gray Davis vetoed(否决) bills that would have required that parents give permission or be present when their children are questioned at school by law enforcement officers.
1.Julia Wilson was questioned because .
A.she wanted to kill President Bush
B.she set up the website Myspace.com
C.the agents thought she might be a threat to the federal
D.she was a peace-loving person
2.What can we infer from the text?
A.Julia Wilson will be put into prison for making a threat.
B.Kirtie Wilson thought it wrong to question her daughter in school without them.
C.Assistant principal thought there was no need to inform Julia’s parents when questioning her.
D.Ann Brick believes that teenagers should not be politically enthusiastic.
3.What does the underlined word “mean” mean in the text?
A.cruel and violent B.poisonous
C.kind-hearted D.unfair
4.The author wrote this story mainly to .
A.struggle against the war in Iraq started by the US
B.discuss whether parents should be included when children are questioned
C.warn teenagers not to post web pages on websites
D.criticize the former governors who vetoed the bill

春节贴年画(pasting New Year Prints)的风俗源自于往房子外面的门上贴门神(Door Gods)的传统。随着木质雕刻品的出现，年画包含了更广泛的主题，最出名的就是门神，三大神—福神、薪神和寿神(Three Gods of Blessing, Salary and Longevity)，寓意着庄稼丰收、家畜兴旺和庆祝春节。年画的四大产地分别是苏州桃花坞，天津杨柳青，河北武强和山东潍坊。现在中国农村仍然保持着贴年画的传统，而在城市里很少有人贴年画。
答案
作文范文：
The human being differs from the wild beast in that the latter is liable to have a hostile view of others and interact in an unreasonable and aggressive manner. Primitive humans might have acted in such fashion, but civilized humans should cultivate more appropriate behaviors.
In the drawing above, a man carrying a large load accidentally steps on a woman's foot. Given that he gracefully apologizes, the woman both accepts his apology and assures him not to worry.
The man and woman depicted interact with each other in a courteous and compassionate manner. The woman understands the man did not intentionally step on her foot, and therefore whether or not she is in pain, she does not attack or blame him. Because she is able to view the situation from his perspective, conflict is diverted. Mutual understanding such as this is a fundamental aspect of civilized society.
Some people tend to think the worst of others and become angry over even the smallest of matters, regardless of how their own actions are disturbing in turn. Such intolerance only leads to more conflict. Disrespecting or mistreating,people not only inflicts pain upon others, but can also harm one's own conscienceand attitude.
Having compassion for others is an important facet of social intercourse. Once one strives to understand the experience and perspective of another, one can avoid much trouble and conflict, thus making life more peaceful and just for all.
写作译文：
人类和野兽的区别就在于后者倾向于相互仇视，交往时不讲道理且好斗。原始人也许会如此行事，但文明人应该养成更得体的举止。
上图中，一个手里捧着很多东西的先生无意中踩了旁边女士的脚。在他有礼貌地道歉后，这位女士不仅接受了他的道歉，还让他不必在意。
上图中的先生和女士诠释了在与人交往时应有的礼貌和富有同情心的态度。这位女士知道他并不是有意要踩她的脚，所以无论疼不疼，她都不会攻击或是埋怨这位先生。因为她能设身处地地看待这件事情，一场冲突就避免了。像这样的相互理解是构成文明社会的基本方面。
一些人往往把别人想得特别坏，为点鸡毛蒜皮的事就大发雷霆，而全然不顾他们自己的行为是多么让别人讨厌。这种偏狭只会导致更多的冲突，对人无礼或粗暴不仅会给别人带来不愉快，而且会损害自己的道德水准和仪态。宽厚是社交中重要的一面，一旦一个人努力去理解别人的做法和看法，他就会避免许多麻烦和冲突，而这会让所有人的生活都变得更美好。

The custom of pasting New Year Prints in Spring Festival originated from the tradition of pasting Door Gods on the external doors of the houses. With the creation of board carvings, New Year paintings cover a wide range of subjects. The most famous ones are Door Gods and Three Gods of Blessing, Salary and Longevity, signifying the abundant harvest of crops, the prosperity of domestic animals and the celebration of Spring Festival. Four procing areas of New Year Prints are Taohuawu of Suzhou, Yangliuqing of Tian Jing, Wuqiang of Hebei and Weifang of Shandong. Now the tradition of pasting New Year paintings is still kept in rural China, while it is seldom followed in cities.

参考答案
Part I Writing
One possible version:
To Live on Campus or Not?
Nowadays, some university students do not live on campus. Instead, they rent a room outside of the university. Some people think that renting a room is a good idea. It’s much more convenient than living in a dorm with other students. Living on one’s own gives students more freedom and saves them from disturbances.
On the other hand, some people believe that students should share a dorm with his / her fellow students. First of all, it costs less than renting a room. Second, living with others is a good experience that will teach students how to compromise and how to cooperate.
As far as I’m concerned, I would like to share a dorm with my classmates. Living together may lead to some troubles. But problems will be solved as long as everybody is sincere. Living together in a dorm is fun. We can get to know each other and learn from each other.
Part II Reading Comprehension
(Skimming and Scanning)
1. D)。根据第一段中“But for most, science is not a happy subject. Do you think back to studying science and get a feeling of dread, anxiety or fear?”可知，对大多数档戚人来说，科学不是一个让人高兴的科目，很多人回想起幼年时学习科学的经历，可能都会感到害怕和忧虑。
2. C)。根据第二段中“Let’s face it — science and math aren’t the most glamorous subjects around, and kids don’t want to seem uncool.”一腔链句可知，科学和数学不是很酷的科目，而孩子们不想看上去不酷，所以他们会很容易对科学和数学失去兴趣。

4. D)。根据第七段第一句“Once you pick your topic, it’s time to start writing, but you’ll need to write a script instead of an essay.”可知，一旦选定了题目，就要开始写作了，是写一个脚本，而不是写一篇论文。
5. C)。根据第七段“Videos will be accepted only if the student is the only one in the video and if the video is obviously done by the student.”一句可知，视频的录制必须由本人独自完成，而且视频中只能有本人，伍蠢孙不能有其他人。据此可以推断画线这句话的意思是“你不能抄袭其他人的视频”。procing被加了引号，可见是反语用法。
6. B)。根据第十段最后一句“The only hint the contestants get is that all of the challenges will revolve around the theme.”可知，比赛中选手面对的挑战是围绕着某个主题的。
7. D)。根据倒数第二段第一句“The challenges are designed to highlight a student’s leadership, teamwork, problem-solving skills and communication.”可知，领导能力、团队精神、解决问题的能力和沟通技巧都很重要，但是D)“竞争意识”在文章中没有提到。

Part III Reading Comprehension
(Reading in Depth)
Section A
11. B)。 根据后面的“or they can happen in a matter of minutes”可知，此空的动词应该和happen并列，并且意义相近，都表示“发生”。
12. N)。根据此空前面的内容可知，这里说山体滑坡有时候规模小，就像你从斜坡上踢下块石头，slope：斜坡。
13. L)。根据“There are many different kinds of mass movements”可知这里说山体滑坡的种类，categorize：分类。
14. J)。根据上文，可知这里说尽管有很多种类，但是每种山体滑坡的原理都是土壤层和下面的岩石层之间在某种程度上的分离，to some 14 表示“在某种程度上”，degree：程度。

17. K)。根据“Although the word landslide often is used (incorrectly) to encompass many types of mass movements”，可知，滑坡这个词常被用来指多种大型位移，但实际上并非如此，滑坡这个词指的是一种更具体、更确切的自然现象，specific：具体的，确切的。
18. I)。这句话是解释滑坡的原理，沿着某个不坚固地带，岩石或沉积物从坚固的基岩上松动脱落下来的现象被称作滑坡。zone：地带。

Section B
Passage One
21. A)。根据第一段中“In every other area, students are being exposed to things that are intellectually challenging and exciting because they are new.”可知，其他的科目都比较新颖、富有挑战性而且让人感到兴奋，而物理与这些科目恰恰相反，所以可以推断出stodgy 在这里表示“难而无趣”。
22. C)。根据第二段中“The number of women and minorities receiving Ph.D.’s in science and engineering is on the rise.”可知，女性和少数民族获得科学和工程学博士学位的人数正在增加。
23. A)。根据第三段中画线一句话可知，这里是把过去和现在的情况做了对比，以前对科学教育非常重视，现在没有那股热情了。
24. D)。根据第四段前两句可知，Anne Tweed是说“一些低年级的学生能问出一些创新性的问题，从他们身上我们看到了希望”，可以推断低年级同学对科学的兴趣正与日俱增。
25. B)。根据最后一段最后一句“It does not require any more skill or intelligence to learn this way, and it’s the best way to get and keep the kids we really want, the ones who are real thinkers and who are creative.”教给孩子们最基本的物理知识，不需要任何技巧或高智商，这是获取知识的最好方法。通过这种方法，我们可以将孩子塑造成我们想要的样子，即富有创造力的、有思想的人。
Passage Two
26. B)。根据第一段中“The depression is often associated with excessive eating or sleeping and weight gain.”可知，冬季抑郁症可能会导致暴饮暴食，所以也有可能导致人超重。
27. A)。根据第二段第二句“Increasing your daily exposure to as much natural light as possible can be helpful to many.”即要增加每天晒太阳的时间，这样对治疗冬季抑郁症很有帮助，这一段都是在说怎样增加光照，所以第二段所说的这种疗法最重要的因素就是自然光照。
28. C)。根据第三段的内容，说的是每天早晨在一个固定的时间起床，那么遵守日程和有规律的生活方式可以避免冬季抑郁症的发生，所以C)正确，keep at bay表示“遏制，使……不能迫近”。
29. D)。根据第四段中“Another lighting technique to try is to replace commonly used light bulbs in your home with brighter full spectrum (also known as broad spectrum) light bulbs.”可知，灯光疗法需要使用特殊制作的灯泡，而不是普通的灯泡。
30. A)。根据最后一段第一句“If none of these techniques seem to help your depressive symptoms, you should consider consulting your family physician or a mental health professional.”可知自助疗法并不是100%有效的，有时候对缓解症状没有用，这时候就需要去咨询家庭医生或者心理健康专家了。
Part IV Translation
Taoism first originated in China. The founder of Taoism is Laozi, a philosopher and thinker who lived in the late Spring and Autumn Period (770BC-476BC). Tao Te Ching whose authorship has been attributed to Laozi, is considered to be the main Taoist classic. Taoism advocates the value of a human being’s life, recommends the discarding of all desires and worries from one’s mind, and encourages the cultivation of moral character and the nourishment of human nature. The following is an example of Laozi’s golden saying:
The way that can be told of is not an unvarying way;
The names that can be named are not unvarying names.
It was from the nameless that Heaven and Earth sprang;
The named is but the mother that rears the ten thousand creatures, each after its kind.
Truly, only he that rids himself forever of desire can see the secret essences;
He that has never rid himself of desire can see only the outcomes.
