Computer for Sale
As I am about to graduate and leave the campus, I am going to sell my personal laptop at a low price.
It is a Lenovo ThinkPad that I bought in June, 2015. It is not big, but very functional. It has a four-core CPU, an independent display card of 2G, a hard disk of 500G and a screen of 15.6 inches.
For the last two years, the laptop has served as my faithful aid and helped me finish most of my assignments and my thesis. There has appeared no fault in the process. I owe so much to it. But as my workplace has already offered me a more advanced working laptop, I find there is no necessity for me to have two. And I know that there must be some of my schoolmates who are more in need of the ThinkPad. Therefore, I determined to sell it.
I bought the laptop as the price of 3500 yuan. Now I will sell it at 1500 yuan or less. Anyone interested can contact me via email, and my mailbox is ***@sina.com.

这次的四级作文属于应用文，是近年来不多见的题型。这是近五年第二次考到应用文。第一次是去年6月的感谢信。但这一次考的是出售个人物品的广告，基本上算告示。比较突出的注意事项就是需要有标题。当然，不写标题也不会影响很多分数，主要还是看正文的语言质量。难点在于，对于笔记本电脑应该有一定的硬件方面的了解，有一些专业的词需要会说。而且，更重要的是应该能够发挥合理想象，说出除了电脑本身之外的一些内容。而且这提示我们以后也应该注重四六级考察应用文的可能。欢迎关注新东方四六级考试微博平台，及时获取解析资讯。

Section A News Report

One of Google's self-driving cars crashed into a bus in California last month. There were no injuries. It is not the first time one of Google's famed self-driving cars has been involved in a crash, but it may be the first time it has caused one. On February 14th the self-driving car, traveling at 2mph (3km/h), pulled out in front of a public bus going 15mph (24km/h). The man in the Google vehicle reported that he assumed the bus would slow down to let the car out, and so he did not switch to the manual mode. In a statement, Google said: "We clearly bear some responsibility, because if our car hadn't moved, there wouldn't have been a crash." That said, our test driver believed the bus was going to slow or stop to allow us to merge into the traffic, and that there would be sufficient space to do that."

M: Yeah, he’s only a little boy. Don’t you remember all those things we used to believe when we were little?

Section C Passage

Passage One
If I could go back in history and live when I liked, I wouldn't go back very far. In fact, I'd like to relive a period I've already lived – the 1960s. I was in my twenties, and everything was being renewed. People would come in out of a formal and almost Victorian attitude, and you really felt anything was possible. Meeting people was the thing, and you went to coffee bars where you met friends and spent the evening. The cinema, the theater, all that was every exciting with new things coming out. In fact, we seemed to be out, all the time! I don't really remember working – of course, I was a student – or sitting around at home very much. That just wasn't where the scene was, even eating! It was the first time, ordinary people started going out to eat. We were beginning to be adventurous about food, but we were more interested in meeting people than in eating or drinking. And dress, yes, that was the revolution. I mean, girls went around in really short skirts, and wore flowers in their hair. And men were in jeans, and could wear their hair long too. It was a wonderful period. It was like living in an age you could never have imagined, and that never has come back. We didn't have much money, but it didn't matter. And there was plenty of opportunity to do whatever you felt like doing.　　

16. Q：Why does the speaker say he would like to relive the 1960s?　　
解析：根据题文同序原则，答案在开头部分。文章是一篇典型的记叙文，主题是关于作者想要回到20世纪60年代的故事。根据原文：I was in my twenties, and everything was being renewed. 是同义替换；因此，答案C选项Everything seemed to be changing是正确选项。题目较难。

17. Q:What does the speaker say was the most popular thing to do at that time?　　
解析：根据原文：People would come in out of a formal and almost Victorian attitude, and you really felt anything was possible. We were beginning to be adventurous about food, but we were more interested in meeting people than in eating or drinking. A选项Meeting people是正确选项。 题目较简单。

18. Q: What do we learn about the speaker?　　
解析：根据原文 “I'd like to relive a period I've already lived – the 1960s. I was in my twenties,” D选项He was a young student in the 1960s是正确选项, 题目相对简单。

Passage Two
Dogs, man's best friends, have a clear strategy for dealing with angry owners—they look away. New research shows that dogs limit their eye contact with angry humans. The scientists suggest this may be an attempt to calm humans down. This behavior may have evolved as dogs gradually learned they could benefit from avoiding conflicts with humans. To conduct the tests, the University of Helsinki researchers trained 31 dogs to rest in front of a video screen. Facial photos of dogs and humans were displayed on the screen for 1.5 seconds. They showed threatening, pleasant and neutral s. Nearby cameras tracked the dogs' eye movements. Dogs in the study looked most at the eyes of humans and other dogs to sense their emotions. When dogs looked at expressions of angry dogs, their eyes rested more on the mouth, perhaps to interpret the threatening s. And when looking at angry humans, they tended to turn away their gaze. Dogs may have learned to detect threat signs from humans and respond by trying to make peace, according to researcher Sanni Somppi. Avoiding conflicts may have helped dogs develop better bonds with humans. The researchers also note that dogs scan faces as a whole to sense how people are feeling, instead of focusing on a given feature. They suggest this indicates that dogs aren't sensing emotions from a single feature, but piecing together information from all facial features just as humans do.
　　
19. Q: What do dogs do when they are faced with angry humans?　
解析：根据原文: New research shows that dogs limit their eye contact with angry humans；选项中的avoid是对原文limit的同义替换，故B选项They avoid looking at them是正确选项。题目相对较难。

20.Q: What does a dog do when it sees the s of angry dogs?　
解析：根据原文When dogs looked at expressions of angry dogs, their eyes rested more on the mouth, perhaps to interpret the threatenings. 因此，C选项. It focuses its eyes on their mouths. 选项中的focus是对原文中rest的同义替换，题目相对简单。

21. Q: How does a dog sense people's feelings?　
解析：根据原文They suggest this indicates that dogs aren't sensing emotions from a single feature, but piecing together information from all facial features just as humans do. 因此B选项By taking in their facial expressions as a whole是正确选项。

Passage Three
Winter in many places is very cold. There is lots of snow around, and the ground freezes, which can make life difficult for animals. People in cold places live in warm houses and have learned to adapt. What do animals do? There are three main ways that animals survive the cold in winter: sleep, adapt or migrate. Some animals, such as bears, frogs and snakes, sleep all winter. They sleep very deeply and need little or no food. While sleeping, their body temperature drops, and their heart beat slows down. To prepare for this before winter, these animals eat extra food to become fat, which gives them the energy they need while they sleep. Other animals adapt. For example, by staying active in winter. It is often hard for them to find food. So some animals, such as mice, collect extra food before winter, and hide it. When winter comes, they return to their hiding places to eat the food. Some animals grow thicker fur, or live in tree holes or underground to stay warm. Some birds migrate by flying to a warmer place for the winter, where they can find more food. Some fly very long distances, including one kind of bird that flies from the remote north of the world, all the way to the distant south. Some birds fly in groups for safety, while others fly alone.　　

22. Q:What does the speaker say about animals in winter?　　
解析：根据题文同序原则，答案在开头部分。文章开头是一个转折型开头，整篇材料讲的是动物怎么过冬的问题。根据原文：What do animals do? There are three main ways that animals survive the cold in winter: sleep, adapt or migrate. 因此，答案D选项，They resort to different means to survive the bitter cold. 是对原文简单的同义替换，题目相对简单。

23. Q: What do we learn about animals that sleep through winter?　　
解析：根据原文To prepare for this before winter, these animals eat extra food to become fat, which gives them the energy they need while they sleep。因此，C选项They consume the energy stored before the long sleep是正确选项，属于对原文的同义改写，题目相对较难。

24. Q: How do animals like mice adapt to the severe winter?　　
解析：该问题针对文章提出三个类型之一——调整以度过严寒冬天。根据原文 It is often hard for them to find food. So some animals, such as mice, collect extra food before winter, and hide it. When winter comes, they return to their hiding places to eat the food。因此，A选项By storing enough food beforehand是正确选项，是对原文简单的同义改写，题目相对简单。

25. Why do some birds fly in groups when migrating, according to the speaker?
解析：根据原文 Some birds fly in groups for safety, while others fly alone。因此，C选项To stay safe, 是对原文简单的同义改写，题目相对简单。

总结：篇章的难度和材料的内容相对去年6月和12月的题而言，相对简单。较难的题只占到了3道。

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

The method for making beer has changed over time. Hops (啤酒花), for example, which give many a modern beer its bitter flavor, are a¬ 26 recent addition to the beverage. This was mentioned in reference to brewing in the ninth century. Now, researchers have found a¬¬¬ 27 ingredient in residue (残留物) from 5000-year-old beer brewing equipment. While excavating two pits at a site in the central plains of China, scientists discovered fragments from pots and ve__ . The different shapes of the containers 28 they were used to brew, filter, and store beer. They ¬¬may be ancient “beer-making tools,” and the earliest 29 evidence of beer brewing in China, the researchers reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. To 30 that hypothesis, the team examined the yellowish, dried 31 inside the vessels. The majority of the grains, about 80%, were from cereal crops like barley (大麦), and about 10% were bits of roots, 32 lily, would have made the beer sweeter, the scientists say. Barley was an unexpected find: the crop was domesticated in Western Eurasia and didn’t become a 33 food in central China until about 2000 years ago, according to the researchers. Based on that timing, they indicate barley may have 34 in the region not as food, but as 35 material for beer brewing.

珠江是华南第一大河系，流经广州市，是中国第三长的河流，仅次于长江和黄河。珠江三角洲（delta）是中国最发达的地区之一，面积约11,000平方公里。它在面积和人口方面也是世界上的城市聚集区。珠江三角洲九个城市共有5,700多万人口。上世纪70年代末中国改革开放以来，珠江三角洲已成为中国和世界主要经济区域和制造中心之一。

【译文】
The Pearl River, the largest river in southern China, flows across Guangzhou City and is China's third long river, second only to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The Pearl River Delta is one of the most developed regions in China, covering an area of about 11,000 square kilometers. It is also the largest city gathering area in terms of the area and population. The nine largest cities in the Pearl River Delta have a population of more than 57 million. Since the reform and opening up in the late 1970s, the Pearl River Delta has become one of the major economic regions and manufacturing centres both in China and in the whole world.

【解析】
①珠江是华南第一大河系，流经广州市，是中国第三长的河流，仅次于长江和黄河。
The Pearl River, the largest river in southern China, flows across Guangzhou City and is China's third long river, second only to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.
句法方面：这句话里面有四个动词：第一个“是”不翻，处理为同位语the largest river in southern China；第二个动词“流经”和第三个动词“是”用谓语动词处理，这两个谓语动词可以选用比较不容易出错的并列连词and连接；“次于”翻译为形容词短语翻译即可second to。
词汇方面：“珠江”如果翻译不出，可以用音译法，译为the Zhujiang River；“流经”flows across, 如果写flows through不是很好，through一般表示三维立体的穿过，across表示平面的穿过，更贴切。

②珠江三角洲（delta）是中国最发达的地区之一，面积约11,000平方公里。
句法方面：前半句主系表结构很容易，这种“之一”的句式四级已经考过很多了，后半句可以用非谓语动词covering引出面积，也可以用介词短语with引出，with an area of about 11,000 square kilometers.
词汇方面：平方公里square kilometers，大家不要用数学的符号；“约”不要漏译，也可以译为around, approximately, nearly等

③它在面积和人口方面也是世界上的城市聚集区。
句法方面：主句用个主系表结构翻译；“在面积和人口方面”是状语，用介词短语 with regard to/ in terms of / when it comes to 或者用最简单的in，并放置到句尾即可。
词汇方面：城市聚集区比较陌生，但是各个词不难，用直译法翻译即可city gathering area。

④珠江三角洲九个城市共有5,700多万人口。
The nine largest cities in the Pearl River Delta have a population of more than 57 million.
句法方面：主谓宾的简单句，“珠江三角洲”作“九个城市”的定语，用介词短语后置翻译
词汇方面：5,700万相当于57个百万，所以译为57 million，million后不可以加“s”；此外，不要漏译“多”more than。此类数字的翻译在历年真题中出现多次。

⑤上世纪70年代末中国改革开放以来，珠江三角洲已成为中国和世界主要经济区域和制造中心之一。
句法方面：虽然句子较长，但是大家只找到一个动词“成为”，因此该句也用主系表结构翻译即可。句子长只是因为有较多的状语和定语。另外还需要注意的是主句谓语动词的时态，宜选用完成时态has become，搭配状语since the reform and opening up in the late 1970s,使用
词汇方面：时间词，上世纪70年代末，译为in the late 1970s；特色词，改革开放the reform and opening up；经济区域和制造中心，注意“经济”和“制造”的词性，不要用economy和manufacture。
