Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)

Directions:There are three passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage1

Questions1to5are based on the following passage:

The most famous collections of fairy tales(童话)are the ones by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm.The Grimms published their first fairy-tale collection in1812.They didn’t think they were writing for children.They thought they were preserving disappearing German folk culture.Their first edition(版本)was a scholarly book that carefully recorded the oral tales.They were surprised when some of their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to children.

But the Grimms needed money.They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book.At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it would break.So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children.He selected a few of the tales,made them much longer,and polished up the language.He didn’t add morals,but he did slip in character judgments and moralizing comments wherever he could.

The Grimms’fairy tales also have one characteristic that would seem to make them unsuitable for children.Many of them include violent incidents.In“Hansel and Gretel”an old woman is burned to death in an oven,and in“Little Red Riding Hood”a child is eaten by a wolf.When he revised the tales for children,Wilhelm Grimm retained the violence.In fact,he sometimes even ramped it up.For example,in the first edition of the tales,Cinderella forgives her sisters at the end.It’s only in the second edition,the one intended for children,that her birds peck(啄)out their eyes.

Why,then,have the Grimms’fairy tales become classics of children’s literature, so much so that it is hard to imagine a child who doesn’t know Cinderella’s story or Snow White’s?

One answer is that only a few of the tales survived into modem times.The first edition of the Grimms’fairy tales had210tales.By1825it was down to50.And today only a dozen or so of the tales are often reprinted in children’s collections.

(76)But the deeper answer is that the tales that have lasted are magical adventures that help children deal with the struggles and fears of their everyday lives.

Passage2

Questions6to10are based on the following passage:

.As the school year kicks off,parents are once again straggling to cajole(哄编)and, if need be,drag their exhausted teens out of bed.That image may make you laugh,but lack of sleep is no joke.(77)Teenagers who don’t get enough rest have more learning. health~behavior and mood problems than students who get at least nine hours a night. Long-term lack of sleep is tied to heart disease,overweight,depression and a shortened life span in adults,indicating the importance of establishing good sleep habits early in https://www.doczj.com/doc/484440919.html,ck of sleep can be especially deadly for teens;car accidents are the leading cause of death among teenagers,and safety experts believe sleepy driving is a major factor.

Unfortunately,few teenagers get the sleep they need.In a survey of middle-and high-school students,University of Colorado researchers found that82percent said they woke up tired and unrefreshed,and more than half had trouble concentrating during the day at least once a week.

Blame multitasking for some of this.Many students are juggling after-school activities,homework and part-time jobs.Even when they manage to fulfill these obligations by a reasonable hour,television,the Internet,video games,phone calls and text messages to friends often keep them awake deep into the night.Taking soda and energy drinks late in the day and going to late-night parties on weekends add to sleep debt.Biology also works against teenagers’sleep,The body’s internal clock,which controls when a person starts to feel tired,shifts after puberty(青春期),making it hard for most teens to fall asleep before11pm.Class usually begins before8:15am,with many high schools starting as early as7:15am.To get to school on time,most teens have to get up by6:30am,guaranteeing they’ll be sleep-deprived during the week. Teens often sleep much later on weekends to catch up,making it even harder to fall

asleep on Sunday night and wake up Monday morning.Playing catch-up on weekends also doesn’t help teens stay refreshed when they need it most:during the week at school.

Since the1990s,middle and high schools in more than two dozen states have experimented with later school start times.(78)The results have been encouraging.’more sleep,increased attendance,better grades and fewer driving accidents.But most schools still start early,meaning teens have their work cut out for them if they want to get enough sleep.

6.According to the passage,poor sleep can be linked to all of the following EXCEPT

A.heart disease

B.car accidents

C.skin problems

D.poor concentration

7.The main idea of Paragraph3is

A.how sleep deprivation(缺乏)can be treated

B’what causes sleep deprivation

C.who is most at risk for sleep deprivation

D.why sleep deprivation is a serious concern

8.What does the word“juggling”in Paragraph3probably mean?

A.Dealing with at the same time.

B.Striking a balance between.

C.Applying for.

D.Having difficulty in.

9.Which of the following is NOT to blame for teenagers’lack of sleep?

A.Multitasking.

B.Biological clock.:

C.Weekend catch-up sleep.

D.Healthy diet.

10.According to the passage,what have some schools done to help their students get enough sleep?

https://www.doczj.com/doc/484440919.html,cating their students about the importance of sleep.

B.Monitoring their students’late-night activities.

C.Delaying school start times.

D.Setting strict rules.

Passage3

Questions11to15are based on the following passage:

As any middle-class parent knows,unpaid work experience can give youngsters a valuable introduction to a secure job.The government has recognized it too, abandoning rules in2011that had formerly stopped16-to24-year-o!ds from doing unpaid work while claiming unemployment benefit.But moving from that to forcing them to work without pay in order to collect these benefits has proved a big step.

(79)More than one million young people in Britain are unemployed,the highest number since the mid-1980s.Keen both to cut the welfare bill and to avoid the depressed future wages that may result from early unemployment,the government has introduced an ambitious program of reform to get youngsters off welfare and into work.

A key part of it is ensuring that no one gets benefit from the government for long; ministers are keen to avoid what happened after the early-1980s recession(~/l/),when unemployment continued in some parts of the country for a long time after the

economy began to improve.

To help young people into work,ministers had persuaded lots of employers, including bakery chains,bookshops,and supermarkets,to take on unemployed youths, who receive work experience but no pay,with the prospect of a proper job for those who shine.(80)Some35,000youngsters participated last year;half found paid work soon after finishing the scheme.

The idea of getting young adults used to showing up for work is popular with voters:according to a survey published in February,about60%of people support the program.Equally attractive was the option of compelling them to work:Under the existing arrangements youngsters could choose whether or not to accept a place,but if they dropped out after the end of the first week,they stood to lose up to two weeks’benefits.

Yet the scheme has also polarized(两极分化的)opinion:a third of people are consistently opposed.Following a noisy“Right to Work”campaign that accused employers of co-operating secretly with the government in“forced labor”,several firms dropped out of the program.To prevent this from getting worse,Chris Grayling, an employment minister,admitted that young people could leave their work experience at any time without being punished for doing so.This not only halted the flight of employers(for now,at least)but also enabled him to announce that new firms have agreed to take part in the program.

11.According to the passage,young people in Britain.

A.are used to showing up for work

B.value unpaid work very much

C.are always opposed to unpaid work

D.could learn something about job security through unpaid work

12.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT TRUE?

A.Most voters support the government’s effort to help young people to find work.

B.Some people protest against the government’s attempt to force young people to

work.

C.There are more than one million young people who took part in the program.

D.There are more than one million young people who are jobless.

13.According to the author,the British government is trying to.

A.punish young people if they are not cooperating with it

B.reform the unemployed youngsters

C.avoid the economic slowdown

D.reduce welfare spending

14.The word“shine”in Paragraph3means““.

A.do well

B.reflect light

C.look happy

D.produce light

15.Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?

2012年11月真题及答案

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试 2012年11月03日 Part I Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: It seems like every day there’s some new research about whether our favorite drinks are good for us. (76) One day, science says a glass of red wine a day will help us live longer. The next day, maybe not. It seems journalists are pretty interested in wine research and the same might be said for coffee. Now,there’s been a lot of research into whether co ffee’s good for our health.“The results have really been mixed,”admits Neal Freedman who led the coffee study and published his findings in a medical journal recently. “There’s been some evidence that coffee might increase the risk of certain diseases and there’s also been maybe more recent evidence that coffee may protect against other diseases as well.” Freedman and his colleagues undertook the biggest study yet to look at the relationship between coffee and health. They analyzed data collected from more than 400,000 Americans ages 50 to 71 participating in the study. “We found that the coffee drinkers had a modestly lower risk of death than the non-drinkers,”he said. Here’s what he means by“modestly”:those who drank at least two or three cups a day were about 10 percent or 15 percent less likely to die for any reason during the 13 years of the study. When the researchers looked at specific causes of death, coffee drinking appeared to cut the risk of dying from heart disease, lung disease, injuries, accidents and infections. Now, Freedman stressed that the study doesn’t prove coffee can make people live longer. A study like this can never prove a cause-and-effect relationship.

2012年5月翻译资格考试三级英语笔译真题及答案

2012年5月翻译资格考试三级英语笔译真题及答案 试题部分: Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) Translate the following passage into Chinese. Spain — Back home in Gambia, Amadou Jallow was, at 22, a lover of reggae who had just finished college and had landed a job teaching science in a high school. But Europe beckoned. In his West African homeland, Mr. Jallows salary was the equivalent of just 50 euros a month, barely enough for the necessities, he said. And everywhere in his neighborhood in Serekunda, Gambias largest city, there was talk of easy money to be made in Europe. Now he laughs bitterly about all that talk. He lives in a patch of woods here in southern Spain, just outside the village of Palos de la Frontera, with hundreds of other immigrants. They have built their homes out of plastic sheeting and cardboard, unsure if the water they drink from an open pipe is safe. After six years on the continent, Mr. Jallow is rail thin, and his eyes have a yellow tinge. “We are not bush people,” he said recently as he gathered twigs to start a fire. “You think you are civilized. But this is how we live here. We suffer here.” The political upheaval in Libya and elsewhere in North Africa has opened the way for thousands of new migrants to make their way to Europe across the Mediterranean. Already some 25,000 have reached the island of Lampedusa, Italy, and hundreds more have arrived at Malta. The boats, at first, brought mostly Tunisians. But lately there have been more sub-Saharans Experts say thousands more —many of whom have been moving around North Africa trying to get to Europe for years, including Somalis, Eritreans, Senegalese and Nigerians — are likely to follow, sure that a better life awaits them. But for Mr. Jallow and for many others who arrived before them, often after days at sea without food or water, Europe has offered hardships they never imagined. These days Mr. Jallow survives on two meals a day, mostly a leaden paste made from flour and oil, which he stirs with a branch. “It keeps the hunger away,” he said. The authorities estimate that there are perhaps 10,000 immigrants living in the woods in the southern Spanish province of Andalusia, a region known for its crops of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and there are thousands more migrants in areas that produce olives, oranges and
