It listed all the tradesmen in each village in my part of the country, and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one's own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside Nowadays a superficial traveler in rural Eng1and might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction of village commerce, but its vigor is still remarkable. Our local grocer's shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news whi1e doing their shopping, instead of queueing up anonymously at a supermarket. And the proprietor knows well that persona1 service has a substantial cash value. His Prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old age pensioner who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them.. The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course. But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce. Most of the village shopkeepers I know, at any rate, are decidedlyindividualist in their ways. For example, our shoemaker is a formidable figure: a thick-set, irritable man whom children treat with marked respect, knowing that an ill-judged word can provoke an angry eruption at any time. He stares with contempt at the pairs of cheap, mass-produced shoes taken to him for repair: has it come to this, he seems to be saying, that he, a craftsman, should have to waste his skills upon such trash? But we all know he will in fact do excellent work upon them. And he makes beautiful shoes for those who can afford such luxury.1.The services available in villages nowadays are normally_________.(A) fewer but still very active(B) less successful than earlier but managing to survive(C) active in providing food for the village and tourists(D) surprisingly energetic considering the little demand for them2.The local grocer’s shop is expanding even though________.(A) town shops are more attractive(B) town shops are larger and less well-known(C) people like to shop where they are less well-known(D) people get extra service in town shops3.How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about delivering goods?(A) They tend to forget it. (B) They will not consider it. (C) They take it for granted.(D) It does not seem worth their while4.Another aspect of personal service available in the village shop is that_________.(A) there is a wide range of goos available(B) goods not in stock can be obtained whenever they areneeded(C) special attention is given to the needs of wealthier customers(D) goods are always restocked before they run out5.In what way is the village shoemaker a “formidable figure”?(A) He seems to pay little attention to public opinion.(B) He refuses to mend cheap, mass-produced shoes.(C) He has a very rough temper.(D) He has very high standards of workmanship.Questions 6--10Drivers on the Basingstoke by-pass used to have their attention diverted by a sign that read—A MOMENT'S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS.This self-defeating warning has now been removed, but its message is still very much to the point. Almost anything can cause an accident. Apart from momentary inattention, it might be a minor miscalculation, a sudden fit of coughing, a bop on the head with a teddy-bear from a child in the back seat, an argument with the wife, fog, falling asleep at the wheel, bad eyesight, a glaring sun, ice, rain, wind, or snow—a1l these can make the difference between a tragic hit and a lucky miss. Although human error plays its part, it is by no means the only cause of accidents. There must be some cause other than simple human error. Road construction plays its part: researchers have found that it is not at the obvious danger spot—sharp corners, cross-roads, narrow lanes—that accidents happen. It is on those roads where there are subtle visual traps, unexpected changes in the shape or surface ofthe .road, or even insufficient or badly-placed signs.Wherever there is a 'black spot', it means that something is seriously wrong with the road. Why else did the careless driving of so many come out at that particular spot? Whatthe law requires when you have an accident There are, firstly the legal formalities of exchanging names and addresses with others involved in an accident and, in certain cases, informing the police. However, you are requiredby law to stop after an accident only if :l Somebody other than yourself in or outside your car has been injured.2 A vehicle not your own has been damaged.3 Any horse、cow、donkey、sheep, or dog has been injured. It has been saidthat if a driver continues unaware of causing injury he must be acquitted. But the courts are wary of that excuse. Furthermore, the driver himself must wait at the scene; it is not enough for him to leave his chauffeur or a friend to attend to the boring formalities while he goes off on more important business. If you have been involved in an accident and have stopped, you must give your name, address, and registration number to anyone who has a good reason for requesting it; this means anyone affected by the accident. If these formalities are complied with it is not necessary to wait for the arrival of the police. It is, however, often wise to do so. The police are expert at drawing plans, taking measurements and photographs and gathering other evidence. In your absence the police could be given a biased story against you; and you yourself migh wam to point out certain features of the accident to the police.6. A MOMENT'S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS' (para.l) is a self defeating Warning because______.(A) it will make a driver wait at the scene(B) it will distract the driver's attention(C) it is too difficult to understand(D) it is too long to be read by drivers7. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A) After an accident you have to give your name to anyone who asks for it.(B) Drivers on the Basingstoke by-pass used to ignore the sign.(C) Road construction problems can be a major cause of accidents.(D) A 'black spot' is a part of the road where there are no signs.8. 'Subtle visual traps' (para.3) are ______.(A) places where the police hide in order to trap motorists(B) parts of the road which are deceptive to the driver's eye(C) danger spots such as sharp corners and cross-roads(D) places where there are man road-signs9. As required by the law, you must stop after an accident, if ______.(A) you have been injured by somebody.(B) your car has been damaged.(C) you have injured somebody else(D) you have witnessed the accidentl 0. After an accident it is recommended that you wait for the police because _________.(A) it is against the law to drive off(B) they have to examine your licence and insurance certificate(C) they have to noto the position of your car(D) somebody may give them a false account of the accidentQuestions 1l--15Just as word oil scarcity is already causing international conflicts, so will the scarcity of water reach a point where wars will break out. The statistics on water are already scary. Already well over l billion people suffer from water shortages and 30 countries get more than a third of their water from outside their borders—an obvious source of disputes and instability especially as the climate changes. The whole of the sub-Saharan Africa, most of South Asia and western South America are most at risk. The reason: the rapid melting of glaciers due to global warning. At the meeting of the coalition of 27 Internaional charities last month, Gareth Thomas, minister of Internatonal Development of the British government, wrote to prime minister Gordon Brown demanding action to ensure fresh water to l.l billion people with poor supplies. "If we do not act now, the reality is that water supplies may become the subject of international conflict in the years ahead. We need to invest now to prevent us having to pay that price in the future", Thomas said. The department warned that two-thirds of the word's population will live in water-stressed countries by 2025.The coalition of charities has appealed for a global effort to bring running water to the developing world and supply sanitation to a further 2.6 billion people. It said that international investment is needed now to prevent competition for water to destabilize communities and escalate into conflicts. Tackling the water and sanitation crisis is essential if the Millennium Development Goal Call to Action is to be a success. Otherwise, progress on health, education, and environment sustainability will be undermined. Each year 443 million school days are lost globally to diarrhea and l .8 million children die from these diseases. In fact, it is often not realized that investing insanitation and water brings the greatest public health gains, more than any other single development intervention and delivers enormous economic gains. Already, some Asian countries have put tackling these issues at the forefront of their development efforts. The Millennium Development Goals aim to halve the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water by 20l5. To achieve that urgent action needs to be taken. There is no doubt that climate change is potentially the most important factor affecting water shortage. This,compounded with a growing and increasingly urbanized global population will put pressure on food and water. For a temperature rise of 2 C, which is likely to happen by 2050, there would be a catastrophic 2 to 3 billion people suffering from water stress.l l. What does the author think is primarily responsible for water shortages in the world ?(A) Climate chance. (B) Border dispute. (C) World competition.(D) Political instabilityl2. According to Gareth Thomas, _______ is the price we have to pay for water shortage if we do not take immediate action.(A ) sanitation crisis (B) international conflict (C) global warming (D) over-urbanizationl3. What can the coalition of charities do to prevent competition for water ?(A) Appealing for international investment.(B) Bringing running water to the developing world.(C) Supplying sanitation to billions of water-stressed people.(D) Enhancing world environment sustainabilityl4. The Millennium Development Goals aim to_______ in the near future.(A) tackle the water and sanitation crisis(B) yield economic gains as well as public health gains(C) make progress on health, education and environment sustainability(D) provide more people with clean drinking water15. According to the passage, what will add to water shortage ?(A) Oil scarcity. (B) A drop in temperature (C) A growing population. (D) Reduced food supplyQuestions 16.-20Parenting was never a piece of cake in any age, but probably the greatest source of headache for parents today in Japan is the ubiquitous cellphone . Today, 96 percent of senior high school students and 58 percent of junior high school students have cellphones. Even among primary school children, 3l percent have them. By enabling youngsters to stay connected with their parents at all times, these gadgets help to keep children safe. For the kids, they are fun toys, too, that let them text to or chat with their pals whenever they want, play Internet games, and enjoy blogging for their own profile and diary purposes. But terrible dangers lurk beneath all that fun and convenience. Every year about l,000 children become involved in rape and other crimes through dating service sites. Violent and obscene images are only a couple of clicks away. On gakkoura saito, or so-called unofficial school websites where kids can post whatever they want, anyone can fall victim to brutal ''verbal mob lynching" by their peers. Amid today's urgent need to address these problems, the government’s Meeting on Education Rebuilding has issued a report. In response to the Prime Minister's recent comments---“I cannot think of one good reason for (letting youngsters)have a cellphone" and "I would like everyone to discuss whether cellphones are really necessary:" ----the report recommended that "parents, guardians, schools and all parties concerned should cooperate among themselves, so that elementary school pupils and junior high school students do not have a cellphone unless there is a compelling reason for them to do so. "But since many parents believe in the necessity of cellphones as a safety tool, it is unrealistic to expect everyone to do away with them. Rather, it would make more sense for guardians, schools and cellphone companies to consider, from their respective standpoints, how cellphones should be used by children. We suggest that parents sit down with their offspring and talk about their “house rules” for cellphone use. For instance, set the hours allowed, so the kids won't be texting to their friends late into the night, remind them never to give away personal information online, and so on.But there are limits to what individual families can do, and this is where we also suggest that schools should educate their pupils on the dangers of cellphone use. One way to go about this, for instance, may be for each class to set its own rules on sending e-mail messages.l6. The word "ubiquitous" (para.l) is closest in meaning to ________.(A) updated (B) sophisticated(C) prevalent (D) obsoletel7. Many parents let their kids have cellphones because they ________.(A) want their kids to keep up with the IT World(B) can't think of anything better for their kids to have fun(C) don't want their kids to miss 'what other kids have(D) believe cellphones enable them to stay connectedl8. Which of the following is NOT the potential risk kids mayface when using cellphones?(A) Involvement in rape-related crime(B) Exposure to violent and obscene images(C) Falling victim to brutal curses.(D) Being tracked down by unofficial school websites.l9. The report issued by the government’s Meeting on Education Rebuilding______.(A) recommended minimizing the use of cellphones among kids(B) suggested setting “house rules” for cellphone use(C) urged parents to remind their children about ce1lphone use(D) pressed schools to educate their pupils on the dangers of cellphone use20. What is the main idea of the passage?(A) Parents neglect to protect their kids from cellphones.(B) Parenting with cellphones is a source of headache.(C) Cellphones should be banned from campus.(D) Kids need lessons on the uses of cellphonesQuestion 21--25Extract IA stylish dining room with cream walls and curtains and black carpet as perfect foil to an eclectic array of furniture. Many of the pieces are classics of their particular era, and demonstrate how old and new designs can be happily mixed together The prototype chair in the foreground has yet to prove its staying power and was thought up by the flat's occupant. He is pictured in his living room which has the same decorative theme and is linked to the dining room by a high Medieval-styled archway where was once a redundant and uninspiring fireplace.Extract 2Old bathrooms often contain a great deal of ugly pipework in need of disguising. This can either be done by boxing in the exposed pipes, or by fitting wood paneling over them.As wood paneling can be secured over almost anyting---including oid ceramic tiles and chipped walls--- is an effective way of disguising pipework as well as being an attractive form of decoration. The paneling can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal.An alternative way to approach the problem of exposed pipes is to actually make them a feature of the room by picking the pipework out in bright strong colours.Extract 3Cooking takes second place in this charming room which, with its deep armchairs, is more of a sitting room than a kitchen, and the new Rayburn stove as a good choice, as it blends in well with the old brick and beamed fireplace. There are no fitted units or built-in appliances, so all food preparation is done at the big farmbouse table in the foreground; and the china, pots and pans have been deliberately left on show to make an attractive display. What about the kitchen sink? It's hidden away behind an archway which leads into a small scullery. Here there's a second cooker and--- in the best farmhouse tradition--- a huge walk-in larder for all food storage.2l. Why is the colour of the carpet described in Extract l a particular advantage?(A) It livens up the colour in an otherwise dull room.(B) It provides a contrast to the furniture.(C) It blends in with the tones of the furniture.(D) It gives the room a classical style.22. What is the purpose of the archway described in Extract。

2009年3月翻译资格中级英语口译实务真题及答案英译中In a normal recession, the to-do list is clear. Copies of Keynes are dusted off, the Fed lowers interest rates, the president and Congress cut taxes and hike spending. In time, purchasing, production and loans perk up, and Keynes is placed back on the shelf. No larger alterations to the economy are made, because our economy, but for the occasional bump in the road, is fundamentally sound. This has been the drill in every recession since World War II.Republicans and Democrats argue over whose taxes should be cut the most and which projects should be funded, but, under public pressure to do something, they usually find some mutually acceptable midpoint and enact a stimulus package. Even in today's hyperpartisan Washington, the odds still favor such a deal.This time, though, don't expect that to be the end of the story -- because the coming recession will not be normal, and our economy is not fundamentally sound. This time around, the nation will have to craft new versions of some of the reforms that Franklin Roosevelt created to steer the nation out of the Great Depression.中译英钟表上的秒针一下一下地移动，每移动一下就是表示我们的寿命已经缩短了一部分。

0903中级口译考试听力部分文本Spot dictationYou might think that hamburgers were invented in the United States,but that is not totally true. These round,flat cakes or patties actually came from Germany in the middle of the19th century. They were brought to the United States by German immigrants who came from the city of Hamburg.That is why their name was Hamburger Stake.However,people in other places claim that they invented the hamburger.Perhaps we’ll never have a clear answer.But there is no question that the hamburger was a great hit.Why?Perhaps because at that time,industry was growing,and the kind of fast,practical and cheap food was needed for workers.The hamburger became even more popular in the1920s when the first chain of fast food restaurants was started.This chain was called White Castle.It served tiny hamburgers that were sold for only5cents each.Then,in the 1940s there came the drive-in restaurant where customers were served in their cars by waiters in uniform.And the hamburger was one of the most popular manual items.By now,the hamburger was ready to conquer the world and this happened with McDonalds,which was actually a hotdog stand at first.But by the early1950s the hotdog was replaced by the hamburger.McDonalds and other fast food restaurants spring up around the world throughout the west of the20th century. McDonalds alone has sold12hamburgers for every person in the world.The importance of the hamburger to US culture remains significant.About60%of all sandwiches that are eaten are hamburgers.According to some sources,7%of current workers in the Untied States had their first job at McDonalds.But the face of the hamburger is changing according to the times.Nowadays it is possible to buy a chicken burger,a turkey burger,a fish burger or a veggie burger.Statement:1.Mrs Jones came to us at the airport.We thought she was the secretary but she turned out to bethe president of the company.2.After Susan carefully explained her ideas at the board meeting last week,the directors all votedfor the change she’s made concerning the proposed project3.Of the students participating in our university’s research project,73%classified themselves asfreshmen and sophomores.4.Originally we had planned to buy a car by the end of last year,but then with the recentfluctuation of the crude oil prices we decided to postpone the purchase.5.Most people I know are interested in the proposed tax reform being debated in the congressbecause they hope it will lower taxes for them.6.If you’re good at managing your own time and energy,it is very likely that you can do wellboth in your schoolwork and for your career7.Mr.Paul White,thank you very much for your inquiry,but I feel the position more suits afemale applicant.Anyway,I will keep your name on file.8.Is this your best quote?I thought the prices will be coming down now given the currentsituation of financial and economic crisis.st month our manager took a ten-day business trip to Chicago,but he had to stay there for3more days situation as the negotiation turned out to be a tougher one.10.When our children are made confident that they are positive and competent individuals,theywill adapt themselves to the changing society and successfully accomplish personal goals.Talks and ConversationsPassage one(Q11-14)W：What are you laughing about?M:I just saw the serious advertisement on TV for Germen soups.It’s said our products are home-made with the freshest vegetables and fruits.Then a scene in the factory showed that products were prepared and packed by the most sophisticated machinery.W:And I am sure that the word NATURE was put on the jars and cans of the products.I think the stupidest advertisements are those that imply that you are one of a kind.If you buy the product, you will be a very special person.Now you will be just like every other one of the20billion people who bought it.M:That’s really silly.But to me,the dullest of them all is when advertisers put a celebrity on TV to talk about a particular brand of soap or about a particular car.I bet that the celebrity’s never used the product before they got the job of appearing in the commercial.W:Yeah!But most of these commercials work and people remember the product.M:I agree,here we are talking about ads we’ve seen,aren’t we?We are all influenced by those celebrities and brand names.W:I think teenagers are specially vulnerable.Advertisers try to get teenagers used to a brand because they know that in later years,the teenagers will stick to that particular product of theirs.Question11:What in the advertisement has made the man laugh?Question12:When some ads imply that you are one of a kind,what does that mean?Question13:Why does the advertiser put the celebrity on TV to talk about a particular product?

If you do that,just be sure to drink as much water between drinks as possible.Thirdly,when you arrive in your destination,try to resist the urge to nap during the day time.Get outside,during the daylight hours,even it is just to sit in a caféand relax.Try to get a good night sleep for the1st couple of nights.The key is to reset your body’s natural clock to get enough rest.Finally,when you return home,use some of the same tactic above to return to your previous time zone.Q15.What’s the speaker’s definition of jet lag?Q16.What’s the difference of the time zone between New York and Paris?Q17.what does the speaker recommend if you do not want to drink much water during the flight?
