西安电子科技大学考博英语模拟真题及其解析One of the simplest and best known kinds of crystal is the ionic salt,of which a typical example is sodium chloride,or ordinary table salt.The fundamental components of an ionic salt are ions:atoms or molecules that have become electrically charged by gaining or losing one more electrons.In forming sodium chloride,for example,sodium atoms give up an electron(thereby becoming positively charged)and chlorine atoms gain an electron(thereby becoming negatively charged). The ions are attracted to one another by their opposite charges,and they stack together compactly,like tightly packed spheres. Recently,scientists at Michigan State University created a new kind of crystal called an electride.In electrides,the anions Geng duo yuan xiao wan zheng kao bo ying yu zhen ti ji qi jie xi qing lian xi quan guo mian fei zi xun dian hua:si ling ling liu liu ba liu jiu qi ba,huo jia zi xun qq:qi qi er liu qi ba wu san qi(negative ions) are completely replaced by electrons,which are trapped in naturally formed cavities within a framework of regularly stacked cations (positive ions).Electrides are the first examples of ionic salts in which all these anionic sites are occupied solely by electrons. Unlike other types of anions,anionic electrons do not behave as if they were simple charged spheres.In particular,because of their low mass and their tendency to interact with one another over great distances,they cannot be“pinned down”to any one location.Instead, they wander close to and among the atoms lining the cavity and interact with electrons in nearby cavities,perhaps changing places with them.

第一章英译汉 第一节考博英语英译汉部分考核要求和试题分析 一、考博英语英译汉部分考核要求 全国博士生入学考试英语翻译题（英译汉部分）的类型一般分为四类：语句翻译、段落翻译、篇章翻译和文章中划线句的翻译。 英译汉的部分，以段落翻译居多，其类型一般也分为语句翻译、篇章翻译（就一个主题进行说明、描述和论证）。对文章中划线句进行翻译的形式出现的较少。 根据原国家教委1992年颁布的《非英语专业研究生英语教学大纲》规定，博士生“英语入学水平原则上应达到或略高于硕士生的通过水平”。而硕士生英译汉教学要求是“能借助词典，把有相当难度的一般性题材文章译成汉语，理解正确，译文达意。笔译速度达到每小时350个左右英文单词。”汉译英的教学要求是“能借助词典，将一般难度的短文译成英语，无重大语法错误，笔译速度达到每小时250个左右汉字。”目前，国家对博士生入学英语考试未作统一规定，由各院校自行安排。因而，博士生入学考试英语翻译的考核标准和要求只能参照硕士生的要求。如天津大学主要是考查汉译英，要求将一般性题材的汉语短文在正确理解基础上翻译成规范、通顺的英语。译文要求忠实原文，表达基本正确，无重大语言错误。 现在，普遍的情况是要求考生将一篇近400词的英语短文中有下划线的5个句子翻译成汉语。主要测试考生能否从语篇的角度正确理解英语原句的意思，并能用准确、达意的汉语书面表达出来。更加注重在特定的语境下和联系上下文理解句子或句群的意思。形式越来越灵活，强调考查学生对英语的运用能力，能力测试的趋势增强。
二、考博英语英译汉部分试题分析 通过对国内主要重点院校近年来翻译部分的变化趋势进行分析，总结出题的特点，把握出题规律。对博士生在英语方面应该具备的能力和水平的总体认识的变化，极大的影响了题型的结构和各部分分值的变化。由于各个院校自己命题，院校之间差异较大。 （一）题型的选择和分配 1．连续多年不考英译汉或汉译英。如北京大学2000年至2006年的博士入学试题中没有考翻译题。清华大学2002至2006年试题上也没有。上海交大在1999年、2002年、2003年也没有考察英汉翻译。 2．基本只考汉译英。天津大学（分值为25分，且多年未变）。 3．基本只考英译汉。如东北大学、成都电子科技大学、厦门大学等。 4．同时考察英译汉和汉译英。如中国社科院研究生院、中国人民大学、南京大学、武汉大学、湖北联考等。 （二）出题及选材的特点 各个学校在选材上有自己的特色，通常结合学校自身实际，对材料有不同的“好恶”。但大体上呈现一些共同的特点和发展趋势。表现在： 1．体裁多以议论文为主。如武汉大学2004年的英译汉部分谈论computer and its problems。2004年中国社科院博士入学考试的考察内容为社会文明与个人的行为方式，采用的是议论文的形式。 2．所选材料多来自于经济学、社会学、教育学和计算机科学等。2004年中国人民大

原文： The price we pay for this salutary change is, no doubt, great.We assemble thousands of operative in the factory, and in the mine, of whom the employer can we know little or nothing, and to whom he is little better than a myth. All intercourse between them is at an end. Rigid castes are formed, and, as usual, mutual ignorance breeds mutual distrust. Each case is without sympathy with the other, and ready to credit anything disparaging in regard to it. Under the law of competition, the employer of thousands is forced into the strictest economies, among which the rates paid to labor figure prominently, and often there is friction between the employer and the employed, between capital and labor, between rich and poor. Human society loses homogeneity. The price which society pays for the law of competition, like the price it pays for cheap comforts and luxuries, is also great, but the advantages of this law are greater still than its cost., for it is to this law that we owe our wonderful material development, which brings improved conditions in its train. But, whether the law be benign or not, we must say of it, as we say of the change in the conditions of men to which we have referred. It is here, we can not evade it; of the effort of any new substitutes for it proposed we can not be sure; and while file law may be somtimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it insures the survival of the fittest in every department. We accept and welcome, therefore, as conditions to which we must accommodate ourselves, great inequality of environment; the concentration of business, industrial and commerical, in the hands of a few; and the law of competition between these, as being not only benefical to the future progress of the race. Having accepted these, it follows that there must be great scope for the expertise of special ability in the merchant and in the manufacturer who has to conduct affairs upon great scale. That this talent for organization and management is rare among men is proved by the fact that it invariably secures enormous regards for its possessors, no matter where or under what laws or condition. 译文：我们对这个有益的改变所付出的代价，毫无疑问，是巨大的。我们安装了成千上外台机器在工厂中和矿井中。我们对雇主知之甚少，他甚至仅仅是个神话。他们之间并没有交流。严格等级制度形成了，通常，相互的忽视孕育了彼此的不信任。每一个事件没有互相的同情，并随时将任何的蔑视与其联系起来。在竞争的原则下，数以千计的雇主被逼进入严格的经济体中，在其中付给劳工的比例很明显。通常，在雇员和雇主、资本和劳动力、穷人和富人间有摩擦。人类的世界失去了平衡。 人类为了竞争性原则所付出的代价，就像他们为了便宜的舒适和奢华所付出的代价一样，也是巨大的。但是这个原则的利大于弊。因为正是因为这样的原则，导致了我们杰出的物质发展，而这些改善了我们的生活条件。但是，无论这个法则是正面的还是负面的，我们得承认，就像承认我们前面提到过的人类生活条件的改变。 它就在这里，我们无法逃避。为此所做出的任何新的替代品的努力我们不能够确定。虽然法律文件有时候对自然人非常苛刻，但是它对整个民族确实最好的，因为它确保了在任何地方都能够适者生存。因此，我们接受并欢迎，就像我们必须要使自己适应环境的不平等那样，对于商业、工业和农业那样，集中在少数人的手中，竞争性原则渗透其中，对未来民族的发展进步有好处。接受这些东西，这意味着对于掌握特别知识的商家和进行大规模生产的厂家必须有一个宽广的视角。对于具有组织和管理才能的人是少数的这一事实可以被下述情况证明：对于持有人来说，不论在什么条件或者哪种法则下，稳定确保了量大。
南昌大学考博英语应该怎样复习 对于考博来说，单词背诵是不可逾越的环节，但这往往又是令学生们感到焦头烂额的事情。有过考博经历的学生都有这样的感受：单词背了不少，与此同时也忘了不少，好不容易记住几个，但是一看考题又发晕了，因为单词书上记的意思放在句子中，上下文却理解不通。这究竟是什么原因呢?我们英语教研室杨老师就学生背单词常遇到的问题进行如下讲解，希望对大家的考博单词记忆有所帮助。需要各大院校历年考博英语真题及其解析请加扣扣七七二六七八五三七或二八九零零六四三五一，也可以拨打全国免费咨询电话四零零六六八六九七八享受考博辅导体验。 出现上述问题的原因还在于学生们不熟悉考博，不了解考题的特点。在大学四年学习期间，同学们能参加的正规英语过级考试并不多，基本上就CET-4、CET-6和考博英语。英语四、六级考试是水平测试，在考题中任何一个词，只要你在单词书上背过，放在句子中基本上就能理解得通，即：“所见即所记”。但是考博却非如此，比如，“doctor”一词，你在四、六级试卷上看到它，十之八九意思在“医生”和“博士”中徘徊。但是你如果不了解考博题，把你原始记忆的单词的意思生搬硬套地放在考博的题目中，你肯定会吃亏。下面咱们具体来看“doctor”在具体语境中的特殊含义：Like other human beings,he encounters moral issues even in the every-day performance of his routine duties—he is not supposed to cook his experiments,manufacture evidence,or doctor his reports. (06年翻译) 分析：句中的doctor，是否能理解成“医生”或“博士”?当然不能，doctor用在动词不定式to后面，首先从词性来看应该是动词，那又是什么意思呢?be suppose to意思是“应该做某事”，be not supposed to“不
