第三次工业革命最大的问题既容易说明，又难以解决。技术正在创立一种迅速取代我们陈旧的国民经济体制的全球经济。各国政府无法控制这种新的经济，也没有人想要建立可以控制这种经济的全球性政府形式，1997年亚洲的经济灾难以得到遏制，只不过是我们可以预料的许多此类困难中的第一件难事。
各国政府过去操心的是管理和维持各自的经济制度，现在正慢慢地变得无所作为。全球金融的变化，唯一难不倒的是世界上最大的几个政府。各国政府对信息和资本流动的影响已丧失大半。它们无法控制外人越过其国境，亦无法控制外来文化的侵入。相反，随着公司有能力迁往最有利的地方，挑动国与国之间为赢得有吸引力投资项目相互对阵，全球性大公司的权力正在增长。

Section 1: Listening Test
Directions:In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Remember you will hear the passage only once. Now let’s begin Part A with Spot Dictation.
The single market has already had an enormous impact. Here in Spain there have been a great number of cross-border mergers and acquisitions where French and German companies have seen opportunities to enter a growing market. And as the barriers have been removed this has become more and more possible.
As far as specific industries have been concerned, well, food and drink, for example, is an industry which you would think was very culturally bound, but we have seen over the last ten years how much different eating and drinking habits have changed, and this is very much a function of a single market. French companies have been particularly aggressive in this area. They’ve moved heavily into Spain and Italy and they have been largely responsible for marketing many Spanish and Italian products. We’re seeing, in fact, southern eating habits moving north in Europe. The r4everse is not true; we have yet to convince the Italians that eating British is preferable to eating Italian, but the move is north to south in the drinks industry. Britain actually is one of the largest drinks producers in the world and Guinness has, for example, been very active in Spain in acquiring companies. So the food and drink industry has really opened out. With regard to utility companies, we see a great deal more regulation of these companies because they’re obviously more environmentally sensitive. With water companies everybody’s ditching everything they don’t want into the rivers, so there’s more regulation now from Brussels. And there were also a lot of privatisations when the European markets opened up.
Banking is an area where there has been a tremendous amount of activity with mergers between French and Spanish banks, English and German banks. Or if not full mergers, at least joint ventures. And there will be more of this to come. This was something that was unheard of some years ago: governments felt that the banking system was strategic to their own economic development and there had always been a very protective attitude. This has now changed. Added to this there are controls on banks that have been applied across Europe, and indeed beyond Europe in terms of their control of risk and exposure to poor credit quality. This is being applied worldwide and it is just a measure of how the internationalisation of industry is taking place. And there will certainly be more controls in the future.
Part B: Listening Comprehension
Directions: In this part of the test, there will be some short talks and conversations. After each one, you will be asked some questions. The talks, conversations and questions will be spoken only once. Now listen care fully and choose the right answer the each question you have heard and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your in your answer booklet. Now let’s begin Part B with Listening Comprehension.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following conversation.
(Man) So, Diane, when did you first become interested in politics?
(Woman) I’ve always been interested in politics, as um, far back as I can remembers. Um, I used to listen to the radio, my mother used to listen to the eight o’clock news on
Radio Four every morning, when she was combing my hair when I was a little girl. I
used to listen to that avidly, and form sort of views on the world and what I would
do if I was Prime Minister, and um, I remember one of my earliest ambitions was to
be Secretary-General of the United Nations.
(Man) What do you, what would you think is the strongest influence in your life towards what you’re doing now?
(Woman) The fact that I’m a black person, and the fact that I come from an underclass in British society, and the fact that because I was black I was exposed very early to
unfairness and injustice.
(Man) You have been an MP for five or six weeks now. Is it as you expected it to be? (Woman) I had an idea of what being an MP was like. I had been on a local authority for four years, and as a journalist and as a political activist I’d visited the House of
Commons, so it is more or less what I expected.
(Man) What do you like about the job?
(Woman) I like the opportunity to put my political principles into practice. I like meetiong people, and I’m pleased to be able to fulfill the hopes, aspirations of so many
people.
(Man) And how about the things that you dislike?
(Woman) I like the opportunity to put my political principles into practice. I like meeting people, and I’m pleased to be able to fulfill the hopes, aspirations of so many
people.
(Man) And how about the things that you dislike?(Woman) I dislike the fact the House of Commons in many ways is a very amateur place, I still haven t got a desk or a
telephone, which makes it very difficult to work. I dislike the kind of “clubby”
atmosphere, it’s a bit like a gentleman’s club, and I really came there to do a job of
work, and I dislike—there’s an awful lot of backbiting goes on there, and I dislike
that.
(Man) You still haven’t got a desk after six weeks. Is...Any idea when you will get a desk, and a telephone.
(Woman) I’m told that I won’t get one now until October, if then.
(Man) Which is, er, another three months-time.
(Woman) That’s right.
(Man) Are you, um, getting fed up with questions about being Britain’s first black woman MP?
(Woman) Oh, yes, I mean my big ambition now is, is for there to be a time when being a black woman MP is as unremarkable as being a male Welsh MP.
(Man) What do you think of your fellow MPs?
(Woman) Well, it’s, it’s the most male dominated place I’ve ever worked in, and it’s an odd place really, because I’m thirty three now, thirty four in September, and almost
anywhere else in the real world I’m sort of middle aged, but in the House of
Commons I’m a sort of bright young thing, because most people are in their fifties
and sixties.
Question NO.1. How long has the woman been an MP when the conversation took place? Question NO.2. What did her mother use to do when listening to the news?
Question NO.3. What is the woman complaining about?
Question NO.4. When is she going to get her missing office equipment?
Question NO.5. What is unusual about her being an MP?
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following new.
MANILA:Though the US $1.3 billion Swiss bank settlement with Nazi Germany Holocaust survivors has yet to be finalized, $20 million already has been paid to some 2,500 claimants, the World Jewish Congress said on Wednesday.
These initial payments will be increased with interest once the US judge presiding over against Swiss banks decides how much interest is due and rules the settlement is fair, said Elan Steinberg, World Jewish Congress executive director.
Swiss banks agreed two years ago to pay the money to settle 55-year-old charges that they had robbed Holocaust families by preventing them from withdrawing prewar deposits.
A federal appeals court yesterday sided with the father of Elian Gonzalez, rejecting a request by the Cuban boy’s Miami relatives that he be granted an asylum hearing with immigration officials.
A three-judge panel of the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals said the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s decision that only a parent can act for his 6-year-old child in immigration matters “comes within the range of reasonable choices.”It said that held true even if the parent was in another country and the child was in the United States.
It was not immediately clear how the ruling affected the stay the judges issued earlier that prevented Elian from leaving the country.
Direct foreign investment in Japan surged to a record high in the year to March as foreign companies launched major alliances with Japanese firms, the gov4ernment said yesterday. Foreign investment during the year stood at 22.8 billion US dollars was invested in the form of company share purchases and the rest was loans, including purchases of corporate bonds, the ministry said. “The major reason for the strong increase was purchases of shares in Japanese companies as seen is large business deals such as the tie-up by Renault and Nissan,”an official of the ministry’s international finance division said.
Israel and the Palestinians were expected to resume negotiations at a secret location yesterday aimed at hammering out a framework deal as controversy swirled about reports of Israeli “concessions”to win peace.
The Palestinian talks and the prospects of peace with Syria following Israel’s withdrawal
from Lebanon were on the agenda for the summit between Isr4aeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and US President Bill Clinton in Lisbon.
Press reports here said Barak would complain to Clinton about Palestinian foot-dragging, accusing Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat of wasting time on such is sues as the release of prisoners rather than working on an outline peace deal.Fiji’s military said yesterday they had made a major breakthrough in talks with rebel George Speight which could lead to the release of about 30 hostages, including the country s prime minister.
“We have had a very major breakthrough,”said military spokesman Captain Eron V olavfola. “I think we can say that within the next 24 to 36 hours, you’ll start seeing a lot of very positive things coming out from parliament.”
Asked if the agreements included a timeframe for the release of the hostages, he said: “That could be one of them.”
He said a full statement on the agreement would be released today.
Question No.6. How much money has been paid to the Nazi Germany Holocaust survivors? Question No.7. What’s the ruling by the US Circuit Court of Appeals?
Question No.8. Why did foreign investment in Japan rise to a record high?
Question No.9. What’s the purpose of the resumed negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians?
Question No.10. Which of the following statements is true about the situation in Fiji?
Question 11 to 15 are based on the following interview.
(Man) From your experience of working in the UK and in Germany, could you give us some comparisons based on the differences you noticed?
(Woman) Well, firstly, the level of language skills is different. I was very impressed at the way in which most executives in the German company could not just speak English but
read it and write it and communicate effectively, compared with the very poor
language abilities displayed by my English colleagues.
(Man) Did you notice any significant differences in the approach to doing business? (Woman) Yes, I did and it’s probably the little things that are the most telling. Germany is much more formal in the way that people conduct business. For example, there is
very little use of first names. It’s far more common to use Herr or Fuau—Mr.—or
Mrs.—than it is these days in Britain. And handshakes. It’s custom that’s almost
withered away in Britain but in Germany it’s quite correct to greet people in the
morning with a handshake. Or if you go into a meeting you shake hands with
everybody sitting round the table.
(Man) Did you find that people from the company socialised outside working hours. (Woman) There’s quite a large difference in attitudes to mixing work and social life. I found my German colleagues came to work, did a good day’s work and then went home
at the end of the day and close not to get involved in activities with people from the
company. A very good example of this is that once a month we used to have a
meeting to let people know what was going on in the company. It started at four
o’clock in the afternoon in the company’s time, but by about half past five, six
o’clock, most of my German colleagues had started looking at their watches and
saying “Well, I’ve stayed an hour and a half now so I’m off”, whereas I often
thought well if this were taking place in Britain people would say “Let’s go to the
pub for a drink”or “Let’s go for a meal”. There was a definite cut-off point. (Man) Would you say from your experience that there’s a difference in attitude towards planning?
(Woman) Yes, the Germans take a very longterm view and plan accordingly, whereas the British take a far more short-term view of things. I think it’s this which has given
Germany its great strength. On the other hand, it’s also given it a certain
conservatism, in contrast with Britain.
(Man) Would you say that there tends to be a difference as to whether the outlook is product-led rather than market-led?
(Woman) That’s interesting. I would say generally German companies tend to be product-led rather than market-led. Looking back at the way that Chirasco had been positioned
in the market it was very much product-led, it was wonderful steaks and wonderful
salads: premium quality. It wasn’t really saying, “This steak house is appropriate
for an evening out or may appeal to families...”which is the approach, I think, that
we would take here in Britain. We’re becoming more market-led rater than
product-led.
(Man) Did the company transfer UK ideas about company cars and other perks? (Woman) No, it didn’t. There is a major difference here between the attitudes of German and UK companies. Basically, German companies pay their employees a higher salary
but, in contrast, they get fewer perks. German employees pay for their own cars out
of their salary whereas in the UK, of course, it’s common for people in management
positions to be given a company car and to receive various other extras.
(Man) And did you experience a difference in attitudes to length of service with the company?
(Woman) Yes, I did. I’ve actually worked for four companies myself within a ten-year period and I don’t think I’m too uncommon, but when I spoke with my German colleagues
the were horrified at this.
There’s an attitude that one joins a company with the intention of staying with it
for a very significant period of time. In Britain one takes a different view. One says
one’s been picking up experience in different companies, and it’s seen as beneficial,
so there’s quite a difference there.
(Man) We hear a lot about the German attitude to environmentalism. Did you notice it was significantly different from that in the UK?
(Woman) Yes, I did. There was a big difference, both privately and professionally. For example, in restaurants one has an awful lot of waste from the vegetables and the fat that’s
used in the cooking. In Germany, this has to be divided into different kinds of waste
which can then be taken away and recycled or disposed of safely, so they are a lot
further down the road there.
Question NO.11. What is the general topic of this interview?
Question NO.12. What does the interviewee think of the company excutives in different countries?
Question NO.13. Which of the following is mentioned as a sign of formality in doing business?
Question NO.14. Which of the following statements is true, according to the interview? Question NO.15. What difference is talked about in attitudes to the length of service with the company?
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following talk.
(Man) It’s a very lucky programme because you have the opportunity to talk to most of the people-well, English-speaking people in the world-who have interesting things to say; and I’ve interviewed dozens of prime ministers and foreign secretaries and so on. And if your view of journalism is mine which is that really it’s the first attempt at writing history then it’s a very excellent programme to work for.
My background is history. I did a history degree. I read history when I was an undergraduate at Cambridge, and I’m still very interested. I’m just doing a series of programmes now which we’re just preparing called The Christian Centuries which will be an introduction to the Middle Ages, and I think I go about journalism, or try to, in the same way. And that’s why when people say, you know, “Do you get across if it’s somebody that you don’t agree with?”I say not in the slightest. I mean it seems to me whether you vote for Mrs. Thatcher or whether you don’t, you have to accept that as a historical character she is fascinating. I mean she has really stamped her personality not only upon the country but really upon the world. She must be in the top three politicians in the world simply that people would know. And it’s nothing to do with people’s ideologies or the policies that they choose to embrace, it is this amazing human thing. And I regard it as a privilege to live and be able to report upon the scene when she is occupying the center of the stage. If you look at the previous prime ministers, we’ve had, many of them were very capable, but all of them were really destroyed by the job after four years, gray, tetchy. Here is a woman who’s coped with this job of now for eight years, and showing no sign of fatigue and that is a fascinating phenomenon. And I believe, although I believe in social forces and all that in the world, I also think that human beings can make all the difference.
I remember interviewing Mrs. Gandhi—now there was a powerful woman. I mean Mark Tully the BBC’s man introduced us and he said “Mrs. Gandhi you will remember me, I’m Mark Tully, you expelled me during the emergency”and she looked at him and said, “and I may very well expel you again Mr. Tully.”Now you know those are great moments to see people of that kind of power and just of character and when you write about them as a historian you write about them as if they don’t exist anymore but it’s not true, they do.
Um, I’m fascinated by trying to deduce whether changes have come. I think that in 1945 in this country when the Labour Party came was the start of a great change. I believe that now Mrs. Thatcher has introduced another kind of Britain for a while and we will live with it until somebody thinks of something different or we all tire of it, and to sit in the middle of it all and being able not only to observe what is going on but to question those who are making the decisions.
So I’m probably going to do the work I do for some time to come. I’ve recently signed a two-year contact which will take me up to the age of sixty. And I must then decide afterwards. I think I will probably go on doing Today as long as I’m asked but how long I shall be asked, of course, is another matter. But certainly I sit there in the morning and I chuckle to myself and I think, isn’t it lovely to be paid to be doing this?
Question No.16. What’s the speaker’s background?
Question No.17. What kind of people does the Speaker interview?
Question No.18. The speaker’s making a programme at the moment. What’s it going to be about?
Question No.19. Approximately how old is the speaker?
Question No.20. What does he think of his present job?

In 1959 Americans welcomed Alaska into the Union as the 49th state, symbolizing a change of attitude from that held in 1867, when the peninsula was purchased from Russia. Then, most Americans had little interest in 1,500,000 square kilometers “of icebergs and polar bears”—beyond canada’s western borders, far from the settled areas of the United States.
In those sections of the state which lie above the Arctic Circle, Alaska still is a land of icebergs and polar bears. Ice masses lie buried in the earth, which is permanently frozen to a depth of 90 or more meters. From early May until early August, the midnight sun never sets on this flat, treeless region, but the sun cannot melt the icy soil more than two thirds of a meter down.
Alaska is America’s largest state, but only about 325,000 people live there. Ac cording to estimates, 800,000 hectares of its land area are fit for plowing but only about 640,000 hectares are being cultivated.
The Japan Current of the Pacific warms Alaska, and the Arctic chills it. The temperature may drop as low as 43 degrees centigrade in some places, and may rise to 30 degrfees in others. In any given year, more than 11 meters of snow may fall in the north, and more than two meters
of rainfall may descend upon the city of Juneau in the South.
Alaska lies between about 71 degrees and 56 degrees north latitude, stretching southward from the Arctic Ocean to the Pacific. This immense peninsula is sharply divided into three distinct regions. In the north, Arctic Alaska reaches from the Arctic Ocean to the steep glacier-cut peaks of the Brooks Range. Central Alaska lies between the Brooks Range and the Alaska Range, where Mount McKinley rises 6,187 meters—the highest peak in North America. From the western face of the Alaska Range, the mainland slopes down toward the Bering Sea and Russia, and the island chain of the Aleutians extends far to the southwest. The 640-kilometer strip of coastal land known as the “Panhandle of Alaska”thrusts to the southeast, bordering Canada’s Province of British Columbia.
Arctic Alaska has been the home of Eskimos for countless centuries. It is believed that the Eskimos moved there from Mongolia or Siberia, probably crossing Bering Strait, named for Vitus Bering, the Danish sea captain who discovered Alaska on his voyage for Russia in 1741. The Eskimos—the Aleuts of the southwest, and the American Indians of the southeast—are the state’s earliest known inhabitants. Russian fur traders established settlements but, by the time Alaska was sold to the United States, most of the traders had departed.
Then, in 1896 gold was discovered near the Klondike River in Canada just across the Alaskan border. Thousands of Americans rushed to the region on their way to the Klondike; some never left Alaska, and some returned there after the region experienced a “rush”of its own.
Alaska was never4 completely cut off again, although even today transportation is a major problem. There are only two motor routes from the U.S. mainland, and within the state, roads and railroads are relatively limited though nearly every town has its own airfield. Planes fly passengers, mail and freight to the most distant villages.The gold rush that changed life so suddenly for Alaska was soon ended, and although many stories about mining camps have become part of American literature, the gold from Alaska earth contributed less to economic progress than the fish from Alaska waters. The fish caught in a single year range in value from $80 million to $90 million. Fur-bearing animals are plentiful in the forests and streams, and valuable fur seals inhabit the waters. Since 1911, Canada, Japan, Russia and the United States have jointly agreed to control the hunting of seals. The herd has been rebuilt to its former size of about 1.5 million.
After fishing, the state’s chief industry is lumber and the production of wood pulp. There are also large deposits of oil—due to being brought to the mainland by a 1,280-kilometer pipeline—coal, copper, gold and other important minerals.

Passage 2
A significant development in post war America was the growing mobility of people. Americans became increasingly able and willing to move from place to place. In ear5lier times, when life was simpler, large numbers of Americans had lived their lives in the areas in which they were born. However, by the 1960s one out of every five Americans was moving to a new place of residence each year. Which these population shifts the West and South became the fastest growing sections of the country. In 1963, California passed New York to become the most populous state. Meanwhile, the states of the Northwest were losing population in relation to the rest of the nation.

上外口译培训网[https://www.doczj.com/doc/8a4489116.html,] 2015年3月上海高级口译考试真题(阅读部分) 第六部分汉译英（下半场） 2015年春季上海英语高级口译考试考生须知： 2015年春季高级口译考试在3月15日上午8:00开考进场，考试分为上下两个半场，中间10:00—10:10休息。如欲中途退场，须在听力考试结束后方可交卷离场，但上下半场考试结束后前10分钟内，不得交卷离场。英译汉试题是高级口译考试上半场最后一道题，汉译英试题是下半场最后一道题。 Parenthood should be affordable in this country, but the cost of raising a child from birth to adulthood is now a quarter of a million dollars and projected to double by the time today's toddlers reach their teens. 首段无需过分投入，只需看到两个关键词 affordable 和 cost 便知文章的话题所在。 Will having kids soon be out of reach economically for many American families? A recent report from the Center for American Progress found that middle-class families are feeling an unprecedented economic squeeze - caught between stagnating wages and the exploding cost of basics like housing, health care and children's education. Most families, it seems, are getting by on less and living closer to the financial edge to help their kids grow up healthy and get ahead. 第二段开篇以设问形式点出文章主体：为什么迫于经济压力，很多美国家庭无法生儿育女?答案的关键词在于“caught between stagnating wages and the exploding cost of basics” The most striking growth in costs to families has been in child care, where expenses have climbed about $200 annually in each of the last dozen years, with nearly tenfold growth since the 1960s. Child care, on average, consumes $1 of every $5 in a family's budget and exceeds the typical rent in every state. 本段以细节形式点出抚养儿女的成本增加之快。 In terms of their kids' health, families increasingly have to choose between treating their children's medical needs and paying household bills. Despite gains in the percentage of children with health insurance, per capita medical spending

Passage 1 As for us Americans, you may think that we give too much importance to individualism and personal gains, so much so that it might sacrifice collective benefits, and even bring harm to the harmony of the society.// Yes, but you don’t have to be worried. American work ethic is more individual-oriented. We often value the results and accomplishments of work more than its process.// If I am not mistaken, the traditional Chinese work ethic is based on Confucianism, which stresses the benefit of communal harmony rather than individual freedom.// It’s really very hard to say which is better because if the cultural differences. With the economic globalization, cultural exchanges have become more and more extensive and Americans and Chinese will know and understand each other better. 至于我们美国人，你们会感到我们太看重个人主义，太看重个人利益，这样可能会牺牲集体的利益，甚至会损害社会的和谐。// 是的，但你们不必担忧。我们美国人的工作理念更强调个人主义。我们一般重视的是结果和成就，而不是过程。// 如果我没理解错的话，中国传统的够工作理念是以儒家学说为基础的，这种思想强调整体和谐高于个体自由。// 由于文化差异的存在，真的很难说哪种理念更好。随着经济全球化，文化交流也随之变得越来越广泛，美国人民和中国人民将会更加互相了解和理解。
关于上海高级口译证书考试的问答 今天解答两位小朋友关于上海高级口译证书考试的问题，第一个是关于备考的问题，第二个是针对特定题型(spot-dictation)的具体问题。 1.最近做了从2011-2014年的真题，然后找不到近两年的真题了。请问您那有吗？ 笔试 题目共6个section，可以分开做，但是每个部分必须限时。没有最近的真题不要紧，多看往年的题，或者是其他来源的题目都是一样的。 口试 我自己没有做过真题，买了真题，但是中间的停顿不够，就没有做了。推荐XDF的《中高级口译备考精要》。这本书高级部分的22套题(如果没记错)，我每套都练习了至少2遍，多数都3遍，有的还4遍。建议大家：每次练习必须录音，完全按照考试的要求，千万要遏制住倒回去再听一遍的冲动。考试是没有机会听第二遍的，这个大家都知道。另外，每天录音至少2小时以上，我当时是口试前狂练一周，每天录音在3小时以上，如果你备考时间较长，也应该每天录音1小时以上。量变才能质变，同样是大家都懂的道理。 2.感觉真题中每年都会考到原题，翻译部分三月份不考九月份肯定考原题，我特别想知道三月份考原题了吗？ 我是15年3月考的笔试，5月口试。笔试考原题的可能性没有，口试考原题也几乎没有，但是四段话中会有一段跟官方教材《高级口译教程》中的类似。 3.感觉听译部分理能解但记忆有点差，怎么提高？ 如果觉得听懂了，但是记不下，就要在口译笔记上下功夫了。这部分如果单凭脑记，放在考试的紧张状态下，想记下来很难。 4.词汇方面，您有什么好的推荐或者资料吗？感觉词汇书太泛了，可能来不及看。 任何词汇书多多少少都这样，你可以在书上自己挑出重点来记。另外，词汇积累不是一朝一夕的功夫，临时记下的考试时候还能碰上并想起来的概率是很小的。................................................................ 关于笔试阶段spot-dictation题型的困惑及解答。 1. 能听懂大概，却记不下来。 这个“大概”有点不妙，最起码要听懂95%以上。
