三、Reading comprehension I (40 points)

At no single spot on the South American continent can the step of man’s conquest of Andes be seen more clearly than the famous Uspalata Pass between Chile and Argentine.

Indians of the days before the coming of the white men climbed along a narrow path, perhaps with llamas carrying their belongings . These “little camels”of the Andes were the only burden bearers the Incas had in the four hundred years when they were extending their empire from Peru to Chile and northward to Quito. These animals could live at altitudes of over two and one-half miles above sea level where in the later days the horses and mules of the conquerors would die of mountain sickness.

Over this road, if a llama path can be called a road, a single explorer or trader went now and again in the days of the Spanish conquerors . But the traveled route across the continent was farther north, across form Peru to Upper Peru (now Bolivia),through western Paraguay, and then down to Buenos Aires. The southern Andes practically shut the door between Chile and Argentina.

Before World War II, our interest in the Far East was casual and sporadic. To be sure, Commodore Perry had

opened Japan in 1853, and after the turn of the century we tried to keep the door open in China by diplomatic efforts. Our cultural and economic relations were more important than our political activities. We introduced Christianity, Concord grapes, and cash registers to the area. In turn ,we decorated our American homes with Japanses prints and Chinese jade, we wore Far Eastern silk, and we drank Formosa tea.Beseball because the Japanese national game and American universities had school named after them in China.

But the Far East really was far ; and it was different. Its languages, spoken and written, were completely unfamiliar. Its religions were concerned with different gods, different forms of worship, and different explanations of the purpose of life. Its organizations-government, school, and family-rested on a different basis of authority. Even its people had different characteristics and capabilities.

Nor did we make any great effort to learn about the Far East. The attention of our education system and most of our scholars was concentrated upon our immediate society and its origin. This enterprise carried used across the Atlantic, and we studied European history and culture. We pursued our cultural ancestry back to the Greek, the Romans,and the Hebrews. But the usual college graduate knew more about the moon than he did about Korea,more about the early Romans than he did about contemporary China. –Willard Thop—

The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion. They are as closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speak. What you produce is for sale on the market. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market.

In the international market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition;under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting, what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etc. Then, how can we obtain such information? There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. The commercial counselor’s offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations. Nowadays, our import and export corporations send their tarde groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot.

Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information. The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities. Of course, there are some other ways of making market investigations.

56. In making market investigation, one should .

A. get enough information concerned

B. advertise his products

C. produce high quality goods

D. none of the above

57. The word “indispensable” in the first line means .

A. impossible

B. essential

C. advisable

D. available

58.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. The relationship between market investigations and sales promotion is just as that of the lips and teeth.

B. It is impossible to succeed in selling a product without market investigations.

C. There are various ways of making market investigations.

D. Production goes before the market investigation.

59. Making market investigations is very important because .

A. in the market, goods on sale are numerous

B. every producer is facing keen competition

C. it can greatly promote sales

D. all of the above

60. All the following are channels to get market information EXCEPT .

A. to have commercial counselor’s office of our embassies stationed abroad

B. to promote the quality of our own products

C. to send trade groups abroad every now and then

D. to have face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen

Graduating hign school seniors looking to enter the workforce and other high school students searching for summer jobs are facing a tighter job market this year as the once red-hot U.S. economy continues to cool. Nationally, the jobless rate for 16-to 19-year-olds continues to rise. The unemployment rate for teenagers hit 14.2 percent in April, compared with 12.8percent last year, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

“It’s very obvious that it’s going to be a little harder this summer, because businesses are much more reserved and cautious,” said Mark J.Gambill, the vice president of marketing at Manpower Inc. the nation’s largest temporary employment agency. The New York City-based company recently surveyed 16,000 public and private employers. It found manufacturing, light industry, and high-tech firms were least likely to be seeking employees.

Temporary jobs typically are the first to suffer in a slowing economy, but other sectors that employ teenagers heavily have fallen on leaner times as well. For instance, the amusement, recreation, and hotel industries shed a combined 43000 jobs in March and April, said John F.Stinson Jr., an economist at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Ironically, the pinch comes as the nation’s overall jobless rate remains low. Statistics show that fewer

teenagers have been jobless over the past few summers than at any time during the previous decade. “The jobless rates are still low by historical standards.” Mr. Stinson said. Ten years ago, for example, the unemployment rate for 16-to 19-year-old workers was 21.1 percent in June and 15.7 percent in July. Last year, the rate was 14.4 percent and 12.4 percent, respectively, federal figures show.

Experts say teenagers looking for summer work still can find jobs but not lots of pay. The continuing slump in the nation’s high-tech sector and lingering uncertainty over the general health of the economy have combined to limit teenagers’ job options to the type of work that American typically have thrived on-the retail and fast-food industries.

For the past several years, experts say, large numbers of teenagers found work with high –paying technology companies. But those heady days of $50000 starting salaries for those with computer skills and only a high school diploma have ended.

Nationally, some 2.8 million students are expected to graduate from public and private high schools this year, according to the U.S. Department of Education. Lacking some sort of post secondary education or training virtually ensures those graduates will garner low wages. Ron Bird, the chief economist at the Employment Policy Foundation, a Washington-based nonprofit think tank, said economic projections show that wage growth for those with only a high school diploma will be the slowest among all groups.

“There is a fundamental shift evident in the U.S.economy, tied primarily to technology, that will reward more professional, management, and technical-type jobs as opposed to line operators,” he said.

61.According to the text, the current unemployment rate for teenagers is

A. lower than ever before

B.higher than in the previous decade

https://www.doczj.com/doc/fe12770342.html,parable to the nation’s overall unemployment rate

D.higher than it was last year

62. Current job prospects for teenagers in the high-tech industry are .

A.highly profitable

B.in decline

C. more promising than the retail industry

D.virtually non – existent

63. Which of the following individuals is NOT directly quoted in this text?

A.The vice president of a temporary employment company.

B.Analysts of the high-tech industry.

C.An economist at a non-profit think tank.

D.A government economist.

64. Currently, most job opportunities for high school students and graduates are available in

A. the high-tech sector

B. temporary employment

C.retail stores

D.amusement parks

65.This text is mainly about .

A. the cooling of the U.S. economy

B. job competition between high school students and high school graduates

C. summer jobs prospects for teenagers

D.employment prospects for high school students and graduates

2013年考研英语翻译的基本方法(7月 版) 在解答考生关于考研英语真题学习中的具体问题时,我们发现,很多考生对英汉翻译所懂甚少。长期以来,一直有考生提问诸如“老师,这句英文中这个短语怎么没有翻译出来?”、“这半句汉语是从那里来的,英语中怎么没有对应语句?”以及“这个句子为什么翻译成汉语时,添加了否定词?”等等的问题。在很多时候,我们只能很笼统的告诉考生:基于英汉文化的差异,在翻译的过程中需要考虑语言模式的差异。在很多时候,英译汉必须按照汉语思维模式以及语境的需要,去增添或者省略一些信息、调整一下语序、转换表达方式。 为了让考生更深入地了解英译汉,我们选用一些真题中的句子,来做先关探讨。在此之前,我们先简单地阐述一下翻译的标准和过程。 翻译标准 在我国近现代,最有影响的翻译标准是严复的“信、达、雅”。就考研英语翻译而言,由于文章的题材大多是有关、经济、文化、教育、科普以及社会生活等方面的内容,并且文体以议论文为主,说明文为辅,结构严谨,逻辑性强,我们很难在“雅”这一标准上做文章。“达”,即通顺,译文必须通顺且符合汉语的语言习惯,这是一个重要的评分标准。“信”,即忠于原文,是翻译的最高标准。由于要翻译的5个句子

是从一篇文章中截取出来的,因而译文必须和上下文表达的意思一致。如果歪曲了原文的意思,那么该句的得分就会很低。 因此,翻译不能违背原文本身,这是考研翻译的最基本标准。 翻译过程 翻译一般分三个阶段:①找核心句;②译核心句;③译其修饰限定补充的句子。由于考研英语翻译大部分句型都是长难句,这一过程显得尤为重要。简而言之,考生首先要找出句子的主干,然后再处理其余的细枝末节,如修饰成分等。考试中,考生应该先通读全文,从大处着手,通篇把握文意,然后分析需要翻译的句子,找出主干,理分支,并翻译。最后是检查书写以及时态。 翻译策略 1.直译和意译 直译,既忠于原文意思又保留原文形式的翻译;意译,不受原文词语的限制,不拘泥于原文句子的结构,用不同于原文的表达方式,把原文意思表达出来。在考研英语翻译中,我们应遵循的方法是:尽量采用直译,不能直译才采用意译,必要时直译与意译相结合。 (1)能直译就直译

But those programs -though some remain popular -increasingly occupy fringe times slots on foreign networks. Instead, a growing number of shows produced by local broadcasters are on the air at the best times. The shift counters longstanding assumptions that TV shows produced in the United States would continue to overshadow locally produced shows from Singapore to Sicily. The changes are coming at a time when the influence of the United States on international affairs has annoyed friends and foes alike, and some people are expressing relief that at least on television American culture is no longer quite the force it once was. “There has always been a concern that the image of the world would be shaped too much by American culture,” said Dr. Jo Groebek, director general of the European Institu te for the Media, a non-profit group. Given the choice, he adds, foreign viewers often prefer homegrown shows that better reflect local tastes, cultures and historical events. Unlike in the United States, commercial broadcasting in most regions of the world -including Asia, Europe, and a lesser extent Latin America, which has a long history of commercial TV -is a relatively recent development. A majority of broadcasters in many countries were either state-owned or state-subsidized for much of the last century. Governments began to relax their control in the 1980’s by privatizing national broadcasters and granting licenses to dozens of new commercial networks. The rise of cable and satellite pay-television increased the spectrum of channels. Relatively inexperienced and often financed on a shoestring, these new commercial stations needed hours of programming fast. The cheapest and easiest way to fill airtime was to buy shows from American studios, and the bidding wars for popular shows were fierce. The big American studios took advantage of that demand by raising prices and forcing foreign broadcasters to buy less popular programs if they wanted access to the best-selling shows and movies. “The studio priced themselves out of prime time,” said Harry Evans Sloan, chairman of SBS Broadcasting, a Pan-European broadcaster. Mr. Sloan estimates that over the last decade, the price of American programs has increased fivefold even as the international ratings for these shows have declined. American broadcasters are still the biggest buyers of American-made television shows, accounting for 90% of the $25 billion in 2001 sales. But international sales which totaled $2.5 billion last year often make the difference between a profit and a loss on show. As the pace of foreign sales slows -the market is now growing at 5% a year, down from the double-digit growth of the 1990’s -studio executives are rethinking production costs. 6. Which of the following best characterizes the image embodied in American shows? A. Self-contradictory B. Prejudice-free C. Culture-loaded D. Audience-targeted 7. The intervention of governments in the 1980’s resulted in __________ . A. the patenting of domination shows and movies B. the emergence of new commercial networks C. the promotion of cable and satellite pay-television D. the intense competition coming from the outside 8. The phrase “on a shoestring” (Para. 6) most probably means __________. A. in need of capital B. after a fashion C. on second thoughts D. in the interests of themselves 9. The main reason why American dramas and sitcoms are driven out of prime time is that ____. A. they lose competitiveness B. they are not market-oriented C. they are too much priced D. they fall short of audience expectations 10. American studio producers will give thought to production costs __________. A. if they have no access to popular shows B. because their endeavors come to no avail C. since bidding wars are no longer fierce D. as international sales pace slows down Passage Three How shops can exploit people's herd mentality to increase sales 1. A TRIP to the supermarket may not seem like an exercise in psychological warfare—but it is. Shopkeepers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they had intended. Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors. Now researchers are investigating how “swarm intelligence” (th at is,how ants,bees or any social animal,including humans,behave in a crowd) can be used to influence what people buy. 2. At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome,Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani,a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology,described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon. Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted: for instance,by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store,forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them. Mr Usmani and Ronaldo Menezes,also of the Florida Institute of Technology, set out to enhance this tendency to buy more by playing on the herd instinct. The idea is that, if a certain product is seen to be popular, shoppers are likely to choose it too. The challenge is to keep customers informed about what others are buying. 3. Enter smart-cart technology. In Mr Usmani's supermarket every product has a radio frequency identification tag, a sort of barcode that uses radio waves to transmit information,and every trolley has a scanner that reads this information and relays it to a central computer. As a customer walks past a shelf of goods, a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product. If the number is high, he is more likely to select it too.
