The horse's big buck teeth were still faintly white, despite being buried beneath volcanic ash for nearly 2,000 years. In the stable where it died, the horse lay on its side, its legs bent slightly at the knee, its jaw open and jutting into the ground. Like the roughly 2,000 people and countless animals in Pompeii in 79 AD, the horse probably died instantly when an enormous plume of ash engulfed the ancient Roman city after one of the most cataclysmic volcano eruptions in history. But had it not been for pesky tomb raiders, the horse — and various relics and age-old structures — might never have been found. Over the last week, the Archaeological Park of Pompeii has unveiled some recent discoveries at the site of Civita Giuliana outside the city walls stemming from its latest excavation. The excavation began last August after authorities discovered illegal tunnels surrounding the **munity, creating an urgency to preserve whatever was left before more looters gained access, the Archaeological Park of Pompeii said on its website. Along with the horse, whose skeletal remains were preserved intact, archaeologists found four rooms and the horse stable, a tomb containing the remains of an adult man, a wooden bed and an entire street of grand houses with large balconies, which was revealed in photos Thursday. The horse, however, was described as an "extraordinary find", because for the first time in Pompeii, archaeologists were able to completely reconstruct a horse using a plaster casting technique. The horse is just under 5 feet tall, measured from its shoulders to the ground, but is believed to be an adult, according to the archaeologists' summary of the discovery. The exact species of the horse is unknown, the report says, but will be studied later. Despite its height, the horse was probably large for that time period, according to the report. "One must bear in mindthat ancient horses were probably much **pared to those alive today," the Archaeological Park of Pompeii wrote.To reconstruct the horse, archaeologists used the same process invented by 19th-century Italian archaeologist Giuseppe Fiorelli, one of the pioneering Pompeii preservationists. Fiorelli was the first to realize that he could capture the last moments of the victims of Mount Vesuvius's monstrous eruption. The bodies appeared to be frozen in time, still cowering fearfully as the volcanic rocks and suffocating ash enveloped their homes and streets. Fiorelliidentified cavities in the volcanic material that encased them, thenfilled the cavities with liquid plaster, thus creating a cast of the victims' last movements and expressions. The archaeologists did the same thing to the horse, which, according to Italian press, joins a pig and a dog as the third animal to undergo the plaster casting technique for preservation. This horse, the archaeologists note, appears to have belonged to a "noblest breed". Around the horse's skull was an iron harness with small bronze studs, which "couldattest to the value and role of this animal". It could have even been a circus or racehorse, the archaeologists say. The Archaeological Park of Pompeii says a second animal appears to be in the stable, but only its legs are intact. This is an extraordinary find in Pompeii. For the first time a plaster cast of a horse has been made in the villa of Civita Giuliana, in the suburbs north of the main site at Pompeii.SSS_TEXT_QUSTI分值: 50答案:庞贝古城遗址中发现了马匹的化石，这给庞贝古城因火山喷发而遭到毁灭的说法又提供了一项有力证明。

CATTI三级笔译实务模拟题2020年(2)(总分100, 做题时间180分钟)English-Chinese Translation1.It is more than a quarter of a century since the leaders of the world, gathered in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, committed their countries to avoiding "dangerous anthropogenic interference in the climate system" by signing the UN convention on climate change. The case for living up to their words has only become stronger. The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere grows unremittingly. Average global temperatures have risen, t oo, to about 1°C above those of the pre-industrial era. The science that links the two is incontestable. Recent extreme-weather events, from floods in Hanoi to fires in California, were made more likely by the change that the climate has already undergone. Things will only get worse — perhaps catastrophically so.In a sense the world is already equipped for the task at hand. Wind and solar power have, after huge subsidies, joined nuclear reactors and dams as affordable ways of generating gigawatts of electricity without burning fossil fuels. As our Technology Quarterly this week shows, parts of the energy system not easily electrified—some forms of transport, industrial processes like making steel and cement, heating offices and homes—could also be decarbonized **ing technologies. And policymakers have tools to bring about change, including carbon taxes, regulation, subsidies and, if they choose, command and control.Yet when the parties to the convention on climate change meet again in Katowice, Poland, on December 2nd, it will be against a backdrop not just of rising temperatures but also of rising despair. The problem is obvious: the stakes are huge; solutions are within reach. So why is the response inadequate?The chief reason is that the world has no history of dealing with such a difficult problem, nor the institutions to do so. The harm done by climate change is not visited on the people, or the generations, that have the best chance of acting against it. Those who suffer most harm are and will be predominantly poor and in poor countries. The people called on to pay the costs of reducing that harm are and will be mostly much better off.The better off are more able to adapt to climate change than the poor, and thus have less cause to avoid change. And making the poor wealthy enough to adapt involves economic growth that is still mostly powered by fossil fuels. Although no one should be asked to forgothat growth, it has consequences.What might produce a moment of clarity to break this impasse? Onepossibility is the sheer impact of climate change. Geophysical features of Earth are already being redrawn. The dry edges of the tropics are heading pole wards at about 50km a decade. The line of aridity defining the American West has moved roughly 230km east since 1980. The sea ice in the Arctic is a shadow of its former self. Nobody can know whether the world will one day wake up and cut emissions to zero. Even if it does, the main problem — the stock of greenhouse gases already emitted — will remain. A crash programme to suck carbon dioxide out of the air would take vast resources and years to make a difference.Another spur might be innovation. The world would have many fewer firms developing electric cars were it not for Elon Musk and Tesla. But without policies to spread innovation, such as a carbon tax or subsidy and regulation, inventiveness alone is insufficient. The technology that matters is the technology being used.SSS_TEXT_QUSTI分值: 50答案:1992年，世界各国领导人齐聚里约热内卢，签署了一项有关气候变化的联合国公约，承诺避免“气候系统受到危险的人为干扰”。

Hundreds of old **e every morning to exercise before the tropical heat makes sport unbearable. Groups of fitness enthusiasts proliferate. Elderly ladies in floral silks do tai chi in a courtyard. In the shade of a tall tree, dozens of ballroom dancers sway to samba music. Others work up a sweat on an outdoor exercise-machine.In the next few decades the gardens will become busier still. Vietnam has a median age of only 26. But it is greying fast. Over-60s make up 12% of the population, a share that is forecast to jump to 21% by 2040, one of the quickest increases in the world. Growing prosperity has also helped bring down the fertility rate in the same period from about seven children per woman to less than two.Demography is changing in similar ways in many Asian countries. But in Vietnam it is happening while the country is still poor. When the share of the population of working age climbed to its highest in South Korea and Japan, annual GDP per person stood at $32, 585 and $31, 718 respectively. Even China managed to reach $9, 526. In Vietnam, which hit the same peak in 2013, incomes averaged a mere $5, 024.This shift brings headaches. First, will the government be able to support millions more Vietnamese in old age? Only the extremely poor and people over 80 (together around 30% of the elderly) get a state pension, which can be as little as a few dollars a week. The most recent survey of the old, in 2011, found that 90% of them had no savings. Debt **mon. Supporting them will become ever more expensive. The IMF predicts that pension costs, at the present rate, could raise government spending as a share of GDP by eight percentage points by 2050. That is faster than in any of the other 12 Asian countries it examined.The problem is worse in the countryside, where most old folk live. Previously the young cared for their parents in old age. Today they tend to abandon village life to seek their fortune in the city. Surveys suggest that the share of old people living alone is rising, especially in villages. Many work until they die. Around 40% of rural men are still toiling at 75, twice the rate of city-dwellers. In Britain that figure is 3%. Often they do gruelling manual jobs, such as rice farming or fishing.Providing health care for millions more old people is another worry. Alzheimer's, heart disease and age-related disability are growing. In the botanical garden Toau, a 78-year-old in a white sports T-shirt, says he is there on doctor's orders, before taking a pill for his bad heart and joining an exercise group. About a third of over-60s do not have health insurance, which is costly. Many provinces still have no proper geriatric departments in hospitals. Informal health-insurance groups have popped up to fill the gaps.The government is starting to implement policies to reduce the fiscal burden and improve the lot of the elderly. Last year it relaxed the one-child policy. In May it said it would increase the retirement age from 60 to 62 for men and 55 to 60 for women, and reform the pension scheme to provide wider coverage. Next year it plans to begin revamping the health-insurance and social-assistance systems.Chinese-English Translation2. 2.敦煌行-丝绸之路国际旅游节自2011年开始在甘肃举办，是全国唯一以丝绸之路命名的常设性旅游节会，现已成为服务丝路沿线国家和地区文化旅游交流合作的重要国际性平台。

CATTI 三级笔译实务全真模拟题（附参考译文）Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)第一部分：英汉翻译（50分）Translate the following passage into Chinese.①In Aaron Walsh's course on Collaborative Computing at Boston College, students learn how to work in teams to program software. It's not an easy class, but Walsh sees his students only once at the start of the semester. After that, they work in a virtual 3-D world, which Walsh - a former video game programmer - helped design. Logging in via their PCs or laptops, the professor and students interact and work together as digital avatars - just like they would in programs like Second Life, using voice - over - Internet to talk or ask questions. The class is part of a fast - growing movement to apply state - of - the - art computer - game technology to U.S. college learning. Similar experiments have been conducted at Harvard, Amherst and MIT.②Long gone are the days when “online education” meant little more than digitized correspondence courses. Today it features videos and podcasts, blogs and live chats, Webcams and wikis, and online courses are becoming ever more popular. This fall, more than 4 million students in the United States will take at least one course online, says Frank Mayadas, an expert on education technology at the Sloan Foundation in New York. America's biggest online school, the University of Phoenix, has grown from 80,000 students in 2000 to 345,000 students today and is on track to reach 500,000 by 2010.③Already popular with universities, which see such programs a way to boost enrollment and revenue, and with students, who love the flexibility and the lower tuition costs, online learning has gotten another big boost from the high price of gas, Four out of five U.S. college students now commute to campus every day, and admissions officers say fuel costs have helped push up online enrollment by 100 percent at some colleges in the past year.④Many such programs are also shedding their second-class status. Elite U.S.colleges like MIT and Stanford have begun offering a growing number of degrees online, Stanford alone now boasts more than 50 different online master's programs, most of them in engineering and science, which have no physical classroom component but which Stanford claims are just as good as its on-campus offerings. A few schools, like the State University of New York and the University of Illinois, have abolished the separation of online from campus programs entirely, awarding the same degree for both. The next step: allowing students themselves to mix and match campus and online coursework at will.⑤Employers have been slow to catch on; while 83 percent of U.S. hiring managers said in a June survey that online degrees are more accepted today than five years ago, only 35 percent considered them equal to traditional degrees. Indeed, there is no good virtual replacement yet for hands -on study in subjects like physics, biology or anatomy, which require physical contact materials. Some educators are also skeptical, complaining about the for-profit nature of many online programs and the fact that they fail to replicate free-flowing conversations. “You lose something by not having human contact,” says Anita Levy of the American Association of University Professors.⑥Yet other experts argue that Web-based learning is actually closer to students’ future on-the-job realities. “Much business is now conducted online,” says Mayadas. “Education is mimicking the way we conduct business, communicate and exchange ideas today.”⑦The future of online learning, Mayadas says, lies in “blended”programs that combine faculty face time with the flexibility of online teaching. The move to such hybrids will be driven by students questioning why they should sit in lectures taking notes three times a week when they can go once and do the rest at their own pace online. Universities and colleges, for their part, like the fact that mixed programs allow them to cut down on physical classes, saving money and creating space for more students.⑧Blended programs will also go a long way toward meeting the critics who contend that digital learning will never replace the campus experience. By combiningface -to -face interaction with new online options in more powerful ways, these programs should offer the best of both worlds - rendering moot today's debate over whether virtual or in - person degrees are best.【参考译文】①艾伦·沃什在波士顿学院开设的“协同计算”课程教学生如何以团队形式编写软件这门课不简单，但沃什只在每学期开始时见学生一次，之后都在虚拟的3D 世界授课。

CATTI三级笔译实务模拟题2020年(10)(总分100,考试时间180分钟)English-Chinese Translation1. 1.According to the newly released Global Nutrition Report, malnutrition has become a worldwide problem, costing over $3 trillion per year. Data shows that Americans have either worsened the situation or made no progress on obesity, diabetes, and anemia in women of reproductive age. "The figures call for immediate action," an expert said. It's generally accepted that being overweight is a costly health care problem, but new data suggests that being undernourished is even more expensive.Around the world, malnutrition has become a problem that costs a staggering $3.5 trillion per year, according figures cited by the latest Global Nutrition Report, which gives a comprehensive analysis of food and nutrition issues each year. That sum dwarfs the costs of being overweight and obese, which the report's authors tallied at $500 billion annually. Although most countries have fallen short in their efforts to address poor nutrition and food insecurity, the United States appears to be badly off track on all its nutrition targets, the report found. The world's largest economy continues to suffer from high rates of obesity, diabetes and anemia, according to the data, and has more than a million overweight children."Malnutrition is responsible for more ill-health than any other cause. The health consequences of overweight and obesity contribute to an estimated four million deaths globally," Corinna Hawkes, co-chair of the Global Nutrition Report and director of the Center for Food Policy, wrote in the report. The dire figures "call for immediate action," Hawkes said.According to the study, most countries have at least two issues related to malnutrition. The most prevalent issues are children who are either overweight, anemic, or suffer from stunted growth. Overall, malnutrition contributes to about half of all childhood deaths, the research showed. India has the highest number of malnourished children in the world. Many of them are "stunted," meaning they are too short for their age. Their height is a, visible sign that not only their bones are not getting enough nutrients, but also their brains, indicating their hampered ability to learn.Lucy Sullivan, executive director of 1000 Days and co-chair the Global Nutrition Report Stakeholder Group, said that stunted children do not do well in school. Down the road, those affected may not be able to get as good of a job as they could have, had they been well-fed. Sullivan added that it also prevents them from being able to contribute to society, and the economy, as well as they would have in a healthier environment. A big part of the problem are eating and lifestyle choices, according to experts. North America alone purchases some of the highest volumes of packaged foods, the Global Nutrition Report found, and 66 percent of them are of low nutritional quality.These data aren't all bad: Figures from 2003 to 2014 showed that obesity rates in the United States have begun to plateau, after having tripled since the 1970s. In the past five years, more than 35 U.S. jurisdictions have reported small declines in obesity. Yet an undeniable conclusion of the report is that poor eating habits have knocked the U.S. off course in its battle against malnutrition and obesity. China also has a growing obesity problem, in addition to having the second-largest undernourished population, the data showed. Policymakers are realizing they need to take action, in part because malnutrition is leading to major economic consequences, according to Sullivan. She hopes steps will be taken in order to help malnourished people worldwide. "The return on investment is so high," she said.Chinese-English Translation2. 2.肿瘤已经成为我国致死疾病的头号凶手，根据国家癌症中心最新发布的中国恶性肿瘤发病和死亡分析报告，2014年我国平均每分钟就有7人被确诊患癌、4人死亡。

Then this year forget the crowds in New England and see the beautiful colors of autumn in the Catskills.These rugged mountains in New York State, just 90 miles northwest of New York City, are famous for the legendary tales of Rip Van Winkle, and more recently for the summer hotels that sprang up in the region during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Families trying to escape the heat of New York City found the Catskills to be the perfect place to stay for a month or so each summer. By the late 1950s there were over 500 resorts and hotels offering nighttime entertainment as well as all kinds of outdoor activities. Famous comedians like Jackie Gleason, Joan Rivers, and Sid Caesar all got their start touring the hotel clubs here. Since the introduction of air-conditioning and cheaper air travel, however, families have stopped coming to the Catskills in such large numbers, choosing instead more distant locations at different times of the year. Many of the Catskills hotels closed in the 1970s, but some remain and have expanded and changed their facilities to meet the needs of today’s visitors.Currently, there are many activities available to the traveler besides witnessing the changing colors of the leaves. There is an all-organic sheep farm where visitors can see how a traditional sheep farm operates. There are also hundreds of miles of scenic drives in the area. Route 42, for instance, is an excellent site for spotting bald eagles. For more information on vacations in the Catskills, call the Office of Public Information.61.The author’s main purpose is to ________.A. promote the Catskills as a vacation destinationB. introduce visitors to famous Catskills entertainersC. describe the history of the Catskills regionD. compare the Catskills to New England笔译综合能力（英语·三级）试卷第11 页（共20页）62.The word “rugged” underlined in Paragraph 2 means ________.A. barrenB. roughC. tallD. lush63.According to the passage, the decline in the number of resorts in the 1970swas caused by ________.A. televisionB. shorter vacationsC. affordable air travelD. more traffic64.The phrase “sprang up” underlined in Paragraph 2 refers to something thathas ________.A. burst forthB. spread outC. operated vigorouslyD. joined together65.In what season would a tourist most likely have visited the Catskills in the1950s?A.

We are only beginning to learn that we can control our biological environment as well as our physical one. Starvation has been prophesied twice to a growing world population: by Malthus about 1.8 billion and by Crookes about 1.9 billion. It was headed off the first time by taking agriculture to America and the second time by using the new fertilizers. Soon starvation will be headed off by the control of the diseases and the heredity of plants and animals — by shaping our own biological environment.And third, I come back to the haunting theme of automation. The most common species in the factory today is the man who works or minds a simple machine — the operator. Before long he will be as extinct as the hand-loom weaver and the dodo (老古董). The repetitive tasks of industry will be taken over by the machines, as the heavy tasks were taken over long ago; and the mental tedium will go the way of physical exhaustion. Today we still distinguish, even among repetitive jobs, between the skilled and the unskilled, but in a few years to come all repetition will be unskilled. We simply waste our time if we oppose this change.71.This article was written to ________.A. warn us of impending starvationB. present facts about life in the near future笔译综合能力（英语·三级）试卷第13 页（共20页）C. oppose biological advancesD. warn of the danger of automation72.In the coming years, people will ________.A. have more machines at their disposalB. experience starvationC. never workD. have fewer machines at their disposal73.Advances in biological knowledge have ________.A. kept pace with those in physicsB. been responsible for the invention of new machinesC. surpassed those in physicsD. lagged behind those in physics74.We are beginning to learn that we ________.A. can control our physical environmentB. can never control our biological environmentC. have no control over our physical environmentD. can control both our biological and physical environments75.In the near future, starvation will be prevented by ________.A.

Physical burden in the factory has already been replaced.77.The author believes before long, machines will ________.A. actually replace unskilled workersB. have learned to think for usC. be shaped like robotsD. no longer be needed78.The repetitive tasks of industry lead to ________.A. physical exhaustionB. mental stimulationC. mental exhaustionD. physical extinction79.If the author’s predictions are realized, the demand for unskilled workers willbe ________.A. very highB. very lowC. the same as todayD. constantly rising80.From the passage, increased automation ________.A. can be successfully opposedB. cannot be avoidedC. has not yet begunD. will put everyone out of workQuestions 81-90 are based on the following passage.Of all the areas of learning the most important is the development of attitudes. Emotional reactions as well as logical thought processes affect the behavior of most people.“The burnt child fears the fire” is one instance; another is the rise of despots like Hitler. Both examples also point up the fact that attitudes stem from experience. In one case the experience was direct and impressive; in the other it was indirect and cumulative. The Nazis were indoctrinated largely by the speeches they heard and the books they read.The classroom teacher in the elementary school is in a strategic position to 笔译综合能力（英语·三级）试卷第15 页（共20页）influence attitudes. This is true partly because children acquire attitudes from those adults whose word they respect.Another reason it is true is that pupils often delve somewhat deeply into a subject in school that has only been touched upon at home or has possibly never occurred to them before. To a child who had previously acquired little knowledge of Mexico, his teacher’s method of handling such a unit would greatly affect his attitude toward Mexicans.The media through which the teacher can develop wholesome attitudes are innumerable. Social studies (with special reference to races, creeds and nationalities), science matters of health and safety, the very atmosphere of the classroom… these are a few of the fertile fields for the inculcation of proper emotional reactions.However, when children come to school with undesirable attitudes, it is unwise for the teacher to attempt to change their feelings by cajoling or scolding them. She can achieve the proper effect by helping them obtain constructive experiences.To illustrate, first grade pupils afraid of policemen will probably alter their attitudes after a classroom chat with the neighborhood officer in which he explains how he protects them. In the same way, a class of older children can develop attitudes through discussion, research, outside reading and all-day trips.Finally, a teacher must constantly evaluate her own attitudes, because her influence can be deleterious if she has personal prejudices. This is especially true in respect to controversial issues and questions on which children should be encouraged to reach their own decisions as a result of objective analysis of all the facts.81.The central idea of the above passage is that ________.A. attitudes affect our actionsB. teachers are important in developing or changing pupils’ attitudesC. attitudes can be changed by some classroom experiencesD. by their attitudes, teachers inadvertently affect pupils’ attitudes笔译综合能力（英语·三级）试卷第16 页（共20页）82.The word “despot” underlined in Paragraph 2 means a person ________.A. who enjoys a high reputationB. who is very successful in politicsC. with unlimited powersD. who deposits a large sum of money in a bank83.The pupils’ attitudes are NOT influenced by ________.A. their parents’ persuasion to behave properlyB. their teachers’ attitudesC. the speeches they hear and the books they readD. such media as social studies, science matter and classroom atmosphere84.It can be inferred from the passage that the pupils ________.A. usually study a certain subject in greater details at home than at schoolB. usually do not study a certain subject at homeC. study the subjects only at schoolD. study a subject more deeply at school than at home85.The example of the pupils’ learning about Mexico shows that ________.A. a child usually learns the right things from their teachersB. a teacher can correct a pupil’s wrong ideasC. a teacher’s attitude can influence a child’s attitude by teachingD. a child’s attitude is very changeable86.The author implies that ________.A. the teacher should guide all discussions by revealing her own attitudeB. in some aspects of social studies a greater variety of methods can be used inthe upper grades than in the lower gradesC. people usually act on the basis of reasoning rather than emotionD. children’s attitudes often come from those of other children笔译综合能力（英语·三级）试卷第17 页（共20页）87.A statement made or implied in the passage is that ________.A.attitudes can be based on the learning of falsehoodsB.a child can develop in the classroom an attitude about the importance ofbrushing his teethC.attitudes cannot easily be changed by rewards and lecturesD.the attitudes of elementary school-aged children are influenced primarilyby their teachers88.The passage specifically states that ________.A.direct experiences are more valuable than indirect onesB.whatever attitudes a child learns in school have already been introduced athomeC.teachers should always conceal their own attitudesD.teachers can sometimes have an unwholesome influence on children89.From the last paragraph, we can see that ________.A.a teacher’s influence on children is always positiveB.children should be encouraged to reach their own decisions by ignoringobjective factsC.if improperly handled, a teacher’s influence can be very harmful to thechildrenD.children may develop prejudices if the teacher’s attitude is wrong90.The author of this passage tries to ________.A.present certain facts of how the development of a person’s attitude can beinfluencedB.show that our society is not doing enough to help children shape theirattitudesC.point out that teachers are the only people who can influence the children’sattitudes笔译综合能力（英语·三级）试卷第18 页（共20页）D.prove that speeches and books are the only factors to indoctrinate childrenSection 3: Cloze Test (10 points)In the following passage, there are 20 blanks representing words that are missing from the context.

CATTI三级笔译实务模拟题2020年(3)(总分100, 做题时间180分钟)English-Chinese Translation1.Risto Siilasmaa is the chairman of Nokia, which is today a very different and much **pany than in 2008 when he joined its board as a non-executive director.When Apple launched the iPhone in 2007, Nokia at first seemed to view it as a **petitor with a high price-tag that would capture only a small slice of the market. After all, Nokia's phones appeared to have all the bells and whistles needed to succeed. Users could download music and listen to the radio; they could use their phones to take photos and videos; they could send and receive email; and even use maps.Mr Siilasmaa had a front-row seat for the drama that ensued when he first joined the firm, but he had very little real influence on the board decisions. As he explains, board members have limited access to limited quantities of **pany information. With his software background, however, he quickly perceived the firm's big problem. Its devices could rival the iPhone mechanically, but the operating system could **pete. Nokia's Symbian system was cumbersome for users, who had to send confirmations whenever any function was added to the phone.Nokia also had a wide range of devices with different operating requirements, making it difficult for app developers to customise their offerings. Apple, by contrast, had only one platform and enjoyed the benefit of being able to design a system from scratch. Increasingly concerned about these problems, Mr Siilasmaa wrote a strategy document suggesting that **pany should consider embracing the Android operating system for phones, which was rapidly gaining market share. He sent it straight to Nokia's chairman, Jorma Ollila. Before becoming chairman, he had been Nokia's chief executive from 1992 to 2006, the years of its rise to dominance. He did not seem to appreciate a non-executive director putting his oar in. Mr Siilasmaa tried again, this time sending his memo to the chief executive and other board members, but his concerns were never addressed in board meetings.Mr Ollila, now 68, has described Mr Siilasmaa's claims as exaggerated or not true. But Nokia's performance deteriorated sharply during his last years in charge, and nothing he did was able to stop it. **pany did team up with Microsoft to launch a Windows-based phone, the Lumia. But by 2012, when Mr Ollila left the board, Nokia's market value had fallen by 92% since Apple's iPhone was launched and thefirm was making a loss.Mr Siilasmaa came in as the new chairman when **pany's fortunes seemed to be at rock-bottom. Instead, the news got worse: the Lumia phone received good reviews but failed to gain market share.So Mr Siilasmaa acted. In 2013 Nokia sold the phone business to Microsoft and struck out in a different direction. Now Nokia offers "end-to-end" digital infrastructure, supplying network equipment and software to **s operators. It is profitable, but its share price has barely moved in the past five years and future success is dependent on a wave of spending on 5G **s networks, which **e slowly.Nokia was already a classic example of the perils of disruptive innovation for industry leaders. Mr Siilasmaa's account underlines how little influence board members often have when faced with an entrenched management team. He insists that a board's role must be to challenge management. Bosses must have an attitude of "paranoid optimism", always on the lookout for potential threats. Nokia's story shows why.SSS_TEXT_QUSTIChinese-English Translation2.在人类发展进步的壮阔征程上，中国与世界各国结伴前行。

CATTI三级笔译综合能力模拟题2020年(1)(总分100,考试时间120分钟)Cloze TestDo students learn as much when they read digitally as they do in print? For both parents and teachers, knowing **puter-based media are improving or【C1】______ education is a question of concern. With the surge in【C2】______ of e-books, online learning and open educational resources, investigators have been trying to determine whether students do 【C3】______ well when reading an assigned text on a digital screen as【C4】______ paper. The answer【C5】______ the question, however, needs far more than a yes-no response.In my research, I **pared the ways in which we read in print and onscreen. Between 2013 and 2015, I gathered data from 429 university students【C6】______ from five countries (the U.S., Japan, Germany, Slovenia and India).The students in my study reported that print was【C7】______ more enjoyable, 【C8】______ things such as "I like the smell of paper" or that reading in print is "real reading". What's more, print gave them a sense of where they were in the book — they could "see" and "feel"【C9】______ in the text.Print was also judged to be【C10】______ on the eyes and less【C11】______ to encourage multitasking than digital reading. Almost half the **plained【C12】______ eyestrain from reading digitally ("my eyes burn"), and 67 percent indicated they were likely to multitask while reading digitally (compared with 41 percent when reading print).At the same time, respondents praised digital reading on【C13】______ counts, 【C14】______ the ability to read in the dark, 【C15】______ of finding material ("plenty of quick information"), saving paper and even the fact they could multitask【C16】______ reading.But the bigger question is whether students are learning as much when they read onscreen.A number of researchers have sought to measure learning by asking people to read a passage of text, 【C17】______ in print or on a digital device, and then testing **prehension.Most studies have found that participants scored about the same when reading in each【C18】______, though a few have indicated that students performed better on tests when they read in print.The problem, however, with learning-measurement studies is that their notion of "learning" has tended to be simplistic. Reading passages and answering questions【C19】______ maybe a familiar tool in standardized testing, but tells us little about any deeper level of understanding.In my view, 【C20】______ short-and-to-the-point materials may be a good fit for digital consumption, it's not the sort of reading likely to nurture the critical thinking we still talk about asa hallmark of university education.1. 1.【C1】3. 3.【C3】4. 4.【C4】5. 5.【C5】6. 6.【C6】7. 7.【C7】8. 8.【C8】9. 9.【C9】10. 10.【C10】11. 11.【C11】12. 12.【C12】13. 13.【C13】14. 14.【C14】15. 15.【C15】16. 16.【C16】17. 17.【C17】18. 18.【C18】19. 19.【C19】20. 20.【C20】V ocabulary Selection21. 21.With global oil prices______, the new cabinet raised domestic fuel and power prices.A. sneakingB. soaringC. soakingD. spinning22. 22.He kept making______remarks instead of straight forward yes-or-no replies.A. ambiguousB. advantageousC. ambitiousD. adventurous23. 23.It was______that the restaurant discriminated against black customers.A. assaultedB. ascribedC. addictedD. alleged24. 24.It gives an opportunity to reflect a lot, ______a lot about not only your own daily activities, but just what's going on in the world around you.A. contaminateB. contemplateC. consolidateD. contradict25. 25.Our journey was slow because the train stopped______at different villages.B. graduallyC. continuouslyD. continually26. 26.The seller shall not______any information relating to this order to any person not entitled to receive it.A. discoverB. uncoverC. revengeD. disclose27. 27.Different cultural backgrounds and values have deep influence on the______mode and the creation of the advertisement.A. expressiveB. efficientC. impressiveD. intensive28. 28.A new study shows that while mulling over a few options may weigh heavily on your mind, finally choosing one may just plain wear you______.A. downB. outC. offD. away29. 29.There is still a vast economic______between developing countries and the United States.A. cheatB. chasmC. chaseD. charm30. 30.You should not______your father's advice.

The town was lush and green; only Vail Pass, at 10, 617 ft. above sea level, was dusted in the champagne powder Colorado is known for.Climate change has had a direct and aggressive effect on winter tourism — and not just in Vail. In 2016-17, the first frost came two weeks later than the 20th century average, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the last one nine days earlier. The season was nearly a month shorter than expected, a trend that's been worsening since the 1980s. NOAA's outlook for winter 2018-19 predicts warmer, drier and milder conditions across the US.Those working in ski towns and at resorts do not need meteorologists to tell them that; they can see the effects in their business. "Last year, we had radically less snow — our lowest snow year in 50 years, " says Auden Schendler, the Senior Vice President of Sustainability at Aspen Skiing Company in Aspen, Colo. "In low-snow years, you see about a billion dollars less in revenue." Those years also cost ski regions 17, 400 jobs, according to the 2018 economic report from Protect Our Winters, a nonprofit environmental organization.It's not just that there's less snow; it's that snow patterns are so unpredictable, ski towns, resorts and businesses can't count on conditions necessary for financial stability. To be considered "snow reliable, " a ski area must have more than 30 cm of snow depth (natural and man-made) during 100 days or during the entire Christmas through New Year's holiday period in at least seven out of 10 years. By those standards, all of the northeastern states (except Vermont) are projected to lose at least half of their ski areas, according to a review in the journal Current Issues in Tourism. And if climate change continues apace, 90% of ski resorts in the U.S. won't be able to open by Christmas by 2090.European ski areas have similar problems. By 2099, the Alps could lose up to 70% of their snow cover, according to research published by the European Geosciences Union — and just two to three weeks of operating at a loss could tank a ski area's financial season.In North America, multi-resort ski passes like the Epic Pass and Ikon Pass can help somewhat. "People can book last-minute trips to the resort with the best snow, " says Schendler. "But obviously, last-minute bookings make it harder to plan-for marketing, for occupancy and for projected revenue." Ironically, too much snow can also impact ski resorts. If a massive storm hits, as has happened more frequently, if unpredictably, in recent years, the sudden heavy snowfall can raise the threat of avalanches, leading resorts to shut down runs or even keep patrons indoors.Fluctuating snow patterns haven't completely derailed ski tourism yet. In fact, tourism numbers have remained static for two decades, Schendler says. But scientists and industry veterans feel like they can see a dark future. "At the current rate of warming, the ski industry is probably done by midcentury, " Schendler says. "We're not acting like we are in crisis, but we are."81. 81.This article was written to ______ .A. show some difficulties that the ski industry will meetB. demonstrate the future of the ski industryC. warn people the consequences of global warmingD. explain the relationship between snow and ski resorts82. 82.The word "aggressive" underlined in Paragraph 2 means______.A. angryB. boldC. hostileD. threatening83. 83.NOAA cannot be______.A. a government departmentB. an organization that cares about climate changeC. an organization that can predict changes in weatherD. a military institution84. 84.We can NOT learn from Paragraph 4 that______.A. the snow became less and unpredictableB. the standards which defines what is a "snow reliable ski area"C. all of the northeastern states have lost at least half of their ski areasD. 90% of the ski resorts in the US won't be able to open by the end of this century85. 85.The phrase "shut down" underlined in Paragraph 6 means______.A. to stop opening for businessB. to ask someone to stop talkingC. to keep someone or something inside a placeD. to block the entrances and exits86. 86.Auden Schendler is a (an)______.A. businessmanB. scientistC. officialD. skier87. 87.According to Auden Schendler, ______.A. last-minute trip is the future of the ski industryB. the ski industry is in crisisC. last year's snow was more than this yearD. a massive snow storm could offer some help to the ski industry88. 88.According to the passage, by about______, the ski industry is probably done.A. 2099B. 2050C. 2090D. 207089. 89.The passage is a(n)______.A. reportB. narrationC. expositionD. argumentation90. 90.An appropriate title for the passage should be______.A.

Ski and SnowThe American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) just released its updated guidelines for children'sThe recommendations reflect what all parents instinctively know: children need less screen time. The corollary, of course, is that they desperately need more free time to ignite their imaginations, develop a sense of wonder and discover their passions and purpose.While we at Melissa & Doug are thrilled the AAP has created stronger guardrails and suggestions to help parents navigate this challenging terrain, this is only the beginning. Our children are overstimulated, over-scheduled and under pressure to perform academically and beyond school. This diminishes their ability to build creative thinking skills essential to self-discovery. Inventiveness occurs when kids have time for curiosity and exploration. With children spending up to eight hours a day on media devices and additional hours engaging in scheduled activities, opportunities for growth are stifled.What we are not sure about is how to get our kids to want the free, screenless time we know will benefit them. It may sound counter-intuitive but today's kids (and, frankly, many of us) need coaching to experience and discover the benefits of free time.What came easily to parents a few decades ago has become a challenge for our generation. It's not that yesterday's parents knew more about child development; they simply had fewer options. Boredom and downtime were an inescapable part of daily life. Today, boredom and downtime are synonymous with, "I'm bad parent and not doing enough to get my kid ahead."Recently, I had an eye-opening revelation while watching my 11-year-old daughter play in a softball tournament. I have six children and have attended dozens of such tournaments. I know the drill — or thought I did. Families settled in for the day with lawn chairs, coolers, sunscreen and siblings in tow. These spectator brothers and sisters would gradually gravitate toward each other. Games of catch and hide-and-seek began; friendships were formed in the span of an inning. At crucial moments, the newfound friends turned their collective attention to the field to cheer on their teams.Bu that was not happening. Though there were at least 15 children by the sidelines, I did not hear any of them. They sat in a silent huddle using their individual tablets. Even with the score tied in the final inning with runners on base, not a single child watched the game or spoke to each other. The situation was surreal and revealing: Kids have more planned activities and passive entertainment at their fingertips than ever before, but less free time to dream, make-believe and focus on what they truly love.I get that making time for "nothing" is difficult in a world where we're constantly worried our kids will fall behind if they don't excel in sports and academics or rack up "likes" on the latest social media app.But I refuse to sit back and watch this loss of childhood. We are taking back childhood. Imagination needs time and space to blossom.91. 91.What do parents instinctively know about children's media use?A.

Parents should be worried if their kids do not excel in sports and academics.The ambitious mayor of a big city backs a project to put a garden on a bridge. Acelebrated designer is appointed and seductive images released. It **pared to the High Line in New York — that urban phenomenon envied as much by rival cities as the Eiffel Tower once was. It provokes controversy.This much the Skygarden in Seoul has in common with Garden Bridge in London, but then their stories diverge. Where the London version has foundered, the Korean one will be opened this Saturday by Mayor Park Won-soon, a former activist who built his career on opposing both corruption and the conservative establishment, and supporting human rights.There are significant differences in the conception and execution of the two projects. They vary in cost (about ￡40m for the Skygarden and ￡200m-plus for the Garden Bridge) and, where the London project has spent many years not happening, the Seoul one has taken two years to take shape since its Dutch architects, MVRDV, were appointed in 2015.Where the Garden Bridge would have been a cherry on the already rich cake that is the center of London, the Skygarden aims to regenerate and connect places near the main railway station that have been fragmented by roads and rail tracks. The Skygarden, which will be open to all 24 hours a day, re-uses an existing structure —like the High Line —in the form of a 1970 motorway flyover that was no longer deemed safe for its original purpose.It is also part of a bigger set of ideas about taking a big, dense — sometimes ugly — city, one which was created without a great deal of concern for public space and pedestrian movement, and giving it qualities of walkability, neighborliness, human scale and shared enjoyment of its places. To this end, the mayor has encouraged a range of public works and created the post of city architect to help make them happen.The Skygarden is one of the more eye-catching examples of several initiatives promoted by the first holder of this job, Seung H-Sang, and his successor and ally Young Joon Kim.Seoul resembles other cities of East Asia such as Tokyo and Shanghai in its scale and rapid post-war expansion, while major western cities like New York and London also **parable pressures of growth. If Seoul gets its program right, it can set examples for other megacities to learn from. An inaugural Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism will be held this autumn to help get the message across.South Korea's capital is an ancient city, with a beautiful natural backdrop of mountains, which was devastated in the 20th century by Japanese occupation and the Korean War. It was reconstructed on American-inspired lines, with multi-lane highways criss-crossing the city. Economic and population growth —it has about 10 million **pared with 1 million in 1950, although the increase has now levelled off— caused the spaces between to be filled in at levels of density that are nearly twice New York's.It is a business-minded city, its desire for prosperity being sharpened by the traumas and poverty of its recent history, and the need to erect office blocks to serve its economy has usually taken precedence over architectural and urban finesse. The lower levels of buildings tend to be intensely colonized by commercial activity.。
