从整体招生人数来看，北京语言大学招生人数和15年比变化不大，但是分数线增加了。

2、北京语言大学翻译硕士学费相对于其他高校相对较低，8000元/年，而且自从12年北语设立高翻学院以来，北语的师资力量越来越强大，就业形势非常好，孙老师希望大学根据自己的实力选择院校。

3、北京语言大学翻译硕士考研参考书真题都不公布，很多考生觉得无从下手，但是没有参考书并不能阻碍什么。

考研，非参加知识竞赛，背书即可。

研究生入学考试，考的是语言能力，不是考记忆力。

4、考生按一级学科统考，并按一级学科统一排名的先后确定复试资格，考生所报专业以及专业内的方向不影响复试资格的获得。

最后按一级学科内总成绩（初试（即笔试）占总成绩的70%，复试（即面试）占总成绩的30%，最后加上听力成绩）排名录取。

如一级学科内某一专业的过线人数大于招生人数，则按照排名次序和自愿原则调剂到一级学科内其他专业。

5、从近5年数据分析，初试中公共课拉不开多大差距，拉大差距的是专业课，尤其是专业一，大部分考生过90分都很困难。

专业一过90分，专业二过120分，就有希望进入复试，当然公共课不能拖后腿，每门得在65分以上。

我们的集训营学员专业课平均分数在235分以上，进入复试的几率就很高。

2016年28人进入复试，22人参加过我们的专业课辅导，专业课最高分250分就出自集训营高强度辅导。

Multinational companies (even those based in places such as Switzerland or Japan) are making it their corporate language. And international bodies like the European Union and the United Nations are doing an ever-greater share of business in the world’s new default langu age. At the office, it’s English’s world, and every other language is just living in it.Is this to the English-speaker’s advantage? Working in a foreign language is certainly hard. It is easier to argue fluently or to make a point subtly when not trying to call up rarely used vocabulary or construct sentences correctly. English-speakers can try to bulldoze opposing arguments through sheer verbiage, hold the floor to prevent anyone else from getting a word in or lighten the mood with a joke. All of these things are far harder in a foreign language. Non-natives have not one hand, but perhaps a bit of their brains, tied behind their backs. A recent column by Michael Skapinker in the Financial Times says that it’s important for native English-speakers to learn the skills of talking withnon-natives successfully.But, as Mr Skapinker notes, there are advantages to being a non-native, too. These are subtler—but far from trivial. Non-native speakers may not be able to show off their brilliance easily. It can be an advantage to have your cleverness highly rated, and this is the luck of verbally fluent people around the world. But it is quite often the other way round: it can be a boon to be thought a little dimmer than you really are, giving the element of surprise in a negotiation. And, as an American professor in France tells Johnson, coming from another culture—not just another language—allows people to notice stumbling blocks and habits of thinking shared by the rest of the natives, and guide a meeting past them. Such heterodox thinking can be wrapped in a bit of disingenuous cluelessness: “I’m not sure how things work here, but I was thinking…”（题源：Economist. Apr 9th 2016）汉译英今天，世界毕竟来到了21世纪的门槛。

2017年政治基础班讲义考点10：价值规律及其作用（一）基本内容（客观要求）商品生产中商品的价值量是由生产商品的社会必要劳动时间所决定的，商品交换中以价值量为基础实行等价交换。

当货币出现后，商品的价值表现为商品的价格，等价交换原则必然要求价格与价值相一致。

（二）表现形式——价格围绕价值上下波动1.在短期内，由于市场供求关系的影响会产生价格与价值的背离，但是价格围绕价值上下波动，体现了价值规律的作用。

2.在长期内，价格围绕价值波动，在整体上正负抵消，从而使价格趋向于与价值相一致，充分体现价值规律的要求，商品的平均价格与价值相一致。

（三）作用价值规律在商品经济中的作用，主要有三个方面：1.自发地调节生产资料和劳动力在社会各生产部门之间的分配比例，从而实现资源的优化配置。

2.自发的刺激社会生产力的发展。

（促进效率提高，降低成本）3.自发地调节社会收入分配。

价值规律在对经济活动进行自发调节时，必然会产生一些消极后果：①可能导致垄断的发生，阻碍经济的进步。

②商品生产者在市场的激烈竞争中优胜劣汰，在私有制条件下两极分化。

③价值规律自发调节社会资源在社会生产各个部门的配置，可能出现比例失调状况，造成社会资源浪费。

考点11：私有制基础上商品经济的基本矛盾1．私人劳动和社会劳动的内涵和产生的客观基础：①私人劳动：由于生产资料私有制，使得商品劳动生产什么、如何生产完全由私人决定，从而使得劳动具有私人性。

②社会劳动：由于社会分工，使得任何商品劳动都是社会总劳动中的一部分，从而使得劳动具有社会性。

只有商品变为货币，私人劳动才能转化为社会劳动。

2．为什么私人劳动和社会劳动的矛盾是私有制商品经济的基本矛盾。

私人劳动和社会劳动的矛盾是指的私人劳动能否得到社会的承认，而转化为社会劳动形式——关键取决于是否能够实现交换。

私人劳动和社会劳动的矛盾成为私有制商品经济基本矛盾的原因：①决定着商品经济的本质及其发展过程。

②是引发商品经济的其他一切矛盾的源泉。

北京语言大学翻译硕士考研真题回忆版北京语言大学翻译硕士考研信息北京语言大学考研常见问题：我想考MTI，但是没想好那个学校，看了你的帖子感觉北语很不错，但是我不知道怎么去规划复习？也不知道选取哪些参考书？你能给我些建议么？A：北语没有指定参考书。

我个人而言，九月份之前重点把基础打牢，例如词汇，语法练习，其实北语的考试词汇水平不算太难，专八词汇背背记记就行，我当时背了一本英语专业考研词汇但是发现用处不是很大，作为拓宽自己词汇量倒是可以但是就考试而言那个词汇比较难，考试用到的不多。

词汇量大了无论是阅读还是翻译都是有好处的哈。

翻译方面只需要一本理论书就可以了，因为它们都大同小异，像张培基的那本，或者其他学校指定的翻译理论书选一本自己喜欢的，钻研一下。

然后就是多积累，我是借的张培基散文大致了一下，自己买了本散文佳作108篇，这个在九月之前完成的话后面就把握了哈。

政治红宝书在九月前最好细致过一遍。

9月到11月期间强化，政治多做题，每天练习翻译，看看杂志报刊（如经济学人或者China daily），像翻译词汇和缩略语等都应该在这个期间去不断搜集信息积累）。

语文方面则应看看我在帖子里说的那两本。

12月和1月就查漏补缺，根据真题回忆来补充知识。

外加心态调整。

应用文写作还有英语写作，汉语写作在这个时期多准备准备。

以上是我去年的做法哈，如果你是勤奋的好学生，每天平均能坚持在图书馆学习七八个小时到最后，相信会有更好的成绩，多多利用学校图书馆的资源，翻译本来就是一门杂学，多看看总是好的，尤其是早期积累。

加油！Q：1.是不是我现在就可以以专八的难度来复习北语的MTI考试了呢？会不会难度有些偏低？我看有的人建议背GRE的词汇。

2.作为辅助的参考资料以及习题，我应该买专八的真题和作文作为夯实基础的配套资料么？3.对于翻译基础，我看到有人发帖子建议用人事部的2级翻译笔译和口译的教材,因为我没接触过这些东西，所以不知道到底是以张培基还是以人事部的作为翻译基础的复习资料，学姐怎么看？4.北语的很难考么？我在北语的官网上查不到想要的分数和报名人数等的一些资料，怎么办啊？5.最重要的问题，学姐觉得MTI到底有没有发展？就业方向是哪些地方呢？专业硕士会不会在大学里遭到老师和学术硕士的排挤呢？A：1、别人怎样我不清楚，但是我在备考的时候确实是先详细看了一本翻译理论书，接着看了些经典散文翻译作为前期积累。

shoes and hangers of shirts,sweaters and jackets,I see water.It takes569gallons to manufacture a T-shirt,from its start in the cotton fields to its appearance on store shelves.A pair of running shoes?1,247gallons.Until last fall,Id been oblivious to my"water footprint",which is defined as the total volume of freshwater that is used to produce goods and services,according to the Water Footprint Network.The Dutch nonprofit has been working to raise awareness of freshwater scarcity since2008,but it was through the"Green Blue Book"by Thomas M.Kostigen that I was able to see how my own actions factored in.Ive installed gray-water systems to reuse the wastewater from my laundry,machine and bathtub and rerouteit to my landscape-systems that save,on average,50gallons of water per day.Ive set up rain barrels and infiltration pits to collect thousands of gallons of storm water cascading from my roof.Ive even entered the last bastion of greendom-installing a composting toilet.Suffice to say,Ive been feeling pretty satisfied with myself for all the drinking water Ive saved with these big-ticket projects.Now I realize that my daily consumption choices could have an even larger effect–not only on the local water supply but also globally:1.1billion people have no access to freshwater,and,in the future,those who do have access will have less of it.To see how much virtual water1was using,I logged on to the"Green Blue Book"website and used its water footprint calculator,entering my daily consumption habits.Tallying up the water footprint of my breakfast,lunch,dinner and snacks,as well as my daily dose of over-the-counter uppers and downers-coffee,wine and beer-Im using512gallons of virtual water each day just to feed myself.In a word:alarming.Even more alarming was how much hidden water I was using to get dressed.Im hardly a clotheshorse,but the few new items I buy once again trumped the amount of water flowing from my faucets each day.If Im serious about saving water,I realized I could make some simple lifestyle shifts.Looking more closely at the areas in my life that use the most virtual water,it was food and clothes,specifically meat,coffee and,oddly, blue jeans and leather jackets.Being a motorcyclist,I own an unusually large amount of leather-boots and jackets in particular.All of it is enormously water intensive.It takes7,996gallons to make a leather.jacket,leather being a byproduct of beef. It takes2,866gallons of water to make a single pair of blue jeans,because theyre made from water-hogging cotton.Crunching the numbers for the amount of clothes I buy every year,it looks a lot like my friends swimming pool.My entire closet is borderline Olympic.Gulp.My late resolution is to buy some items used.Underwear and socks are,of course,exempt from this strategy, but1have no problem shopping less and also shopping at Goodwill.In fact,Id been doing that for the past year to save money.My clothes outrageous water footprint just reintbrced it for me.More conscious living and substitution,rather than sacrifice,are the prevailing ideas with the water footprint. Its one Im trying,and thats had an unusual upside.I had a hamburger recently,and I enjoyed it a lot more since it is now an occasional treat rather than a weekly habit.(One gallon=3.8litres)11.According to the passage,the Water Footprint NetworkA.made the author aware of freshwater shortage.B.helped the author get to know the Green Blue Book.C.worked for freshwater conservation for nonprofit purposes.D.collaborated with the Green Blue Book in freshwater conservation.12.Which of the following reasons can best explain the authors feeling of self-satisfaction?A.He made contribution to drinking water conservation in his own way.B.Money spent on upgrading his household facilities was worthwhile.C.His house was equipped with advanced water-saving facilities.D.He could have made even greater contribution by changing his lifestyle.13.According to the context,"...how mv own actions factored in"meansA.how I could contribute to water conservation.B.what efforts I should make to save fresh water.C.what behaviour could be counted as freshwater-saving.D.how much of what I did contributed to freshwater shortage.14.According to the passage,the author was more alarmed by the fact thatA.he was having more meat and coffee.B.his clothes used even more virtual water.C.globally there will be less fresh water.D.his lifestyle was too extravagant.15."My entire closet is borderline Olympic"is an example ofA.exaggeration.B.analogy.C.understatement.D.euphemism.16.What is the tone of the author in the last paragraph?A.Sarcastic.B.Ironic.C.Critical.D.Humorous.TEXT BIn her novel of"Reunion,American Style",Rona Jaffe suggests that a class reunion"is more than a sentimental journey.It is also a way of answering the question that lies at the back of nearly all our minds. Did they do better than I?"Jaffes observation may be misplaced but not completely lost.According to a study conducted by social psychologist Jack Sparacino,the overwhelming majority who attend reunions arent there invidiously to compare their recent accomplishments with those of their former classmates.Instead,they hope,primarily, to relive their earlier successes.Certainly,a few return to show their former classmates how well they have done;others enjoy observing the changes that have occurred in their classmates(not always in themselves,of course).But the majority who attend their class reunions do so to relive the good times they remember having when they were younger.In his study,Sparacino found that,as high school students,attendees had been more popular,more often regarded as attractive,and more involved in extracurricular activities than those classmates who chose not to attend.For those who turned up at their reunions,then,the old times were also the good times!It would appear that Americans have a special fondness for reunions,judging by their prevalence.Major league baseball players,fraternity members,veterans groups,high school and college graduates,and former Boy Scouts all hold reunions on a regular basis.In addition,family reunions frequently attract blood relatives from faraway places who spend considerable money and time to reunite.Actually,in their affection for reuniting with friends,family or colleagues,Americans are probably no different from any other people,except that Americans have created a mind-boggling number and variety of institutionalized forms of gatherings to facilitate the satisfaction of this desire.Indeed,reunions have increasingly become formal events that are organized on a regular basis and,in the process,they have also become big business.Shell Norris of Class Reunion,Inc.,says that Chicago alone has1,500high school reunions each year.A conservative estimate on the national level would be10,000annually.At one time,all high school reunions were organized by volunteers,usually female homemakers.In the last few years,however,as more and more women have entered the labour force,alumni reunions are increasingly being planned by specialized companies rather than by part-time volunteers.The first college reunion was held by the alumni of Yale University in1792.Graduates of Pennsylvania, Princeton,Stanford,and Brown followed suit.And by the end of the19th century,most4-year institutions were holding alumni reunions.The variety of college reunions is impressive.At Princeton,alumni parade through the town wearing their class uniforms and singing their alma mater.At Marietta College,they gather for a dinner-dance on a steamship cruising the Ohio River.Clearly,the thought of cruising on a steamship or marching through the streets is usually not,by itself,sufficient reason for large numbers of alumni to return to campus.Alumni who decide to attend their reunions share a common identity based on the years they spent together as undergraduates.For this reason, universities that somehow establish a common bond–for example,because they are relatively small or especially prestigious-tend to draw substantial numbers of their alumni to reunions.In an effort to enhance this common identity,larger colleges and universities frequently build their class reunions on participation in smaller units,such as departments or schools.Or they encourage"affinity reunions"for groups of former cheerleaders,editors,fraternity members,musicians,members of military organizations on campus,and the like.Of course,not every alumnus is fond of his or her alma mater.Students who graduated during the late1960s may be especially reluctant to get involved in alumni events.They were part of the generation that conducted sit-ins and teach-ins directed at university administrators,protested military recruitment on campus and marched against"establishment politics."If this generation has a common identity,it may fall outside of their university ties-or even be hostile to them.Even as they enter their middle years,alumni who continue to hold unpleasant memories of college during this period may not wish to attend class reunions.17.According to the passage,Sparacinos studyA.provided strong evidence for Jaffes statement.B.showed that attendees tended to excel in high school study.C.found that interest in reunions was linked with school experience.D.found evidence for attendees intense desire for showing off success.18.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a distinct feature of U.S.class reunions?A.U.S.class reunions are usually occasions to show off ones recent success.B.Reunions are regular and formal events organized by professional agencies.C.Class reunions have become a profitable business.D.Class reunions have brought about a variety of activities.19.What mainly attracts many people to return to campus for reunion?A.The variety of activities for class reunion.B.The special status their university enjoys.C.Shared experience beyond the campus.D.Shared undergraduate experience on campus.20.The rhetorical function of the first paragraph is toA.introduce Rona Jeffes novel.B.present the authors counterargument.C.serve as prelude to the authors argument.D.bring into focus contrasting opinions.21.What is the passage mainly about?A.Reasons for popularity and(non)attendance for alumni reunions.B.A historical perspective for alumni reunions in the United States.C.Alumni reunions and American university traditions.D.Alumni reunion and its social and economic implications.TEXT COne time while on his walk George met Mr.Cattanzara coming home very late from work.He wondered if he was drunk but then could tell he wasnt.Mr.Cattanzara,a stocky,bald-headed man who worked in a change booth on an IRT station,lived on the next block after Georges,above a shoe repair store.Nights, during the hot weather,he sat on his stoop in an undershirt,reading the New York Times in the light of the shoemakers window.He read it from the first page to the last,then went up to sleep.And all the time he wasreading the paper,his wife,a fat woman with a white face,leaned out of the window,gazing into the street, her thick white arms folded under her loose breast,on the window ledge.Once in a while Mr.Cattanzara came home drunk,but it was a quiet drunk.He never made any trouble,only walked stiffly up the street and slowly climbed the stairs into the hall.Though drunk he looked the same as always,except for his tight walk,the quietness,and that his eyes were wet.George liked Mr.Cattanzara because he remembered him giving him nickels to buy lemon ice with when he was a squirt.Mr.Cattanzara was a different type than those in the neighbourhood.He asked different questions than the others when he met you,and he seemed to know what went on in all the newspapers.He read them,as his fat sick wife watched from the window."What are you doing with yourself this summer,George?"Mr.Cattanzara asked."l see you walkin around at night."George felt embarrassed."I like to walk.""What are you doin in the day now?""Nothing much just now.Im waiting for a job."Since it shamed him to admit that he wasnt working,George said,"Im reading a lot to pick up my education.""What are you readin?"George hesitated,then said,"I got a list of books in the library once and now Im gonna read them this summer."He felt strange and a little unhappy saying this,but he wanted Mr.Cattanzara to respect him. "How many books are there on it?""I never counted them.Maybe around a hundred."Mr.Cattanzara whistled through his teeth."I figure if l did that,"George went on earnestly,"it would help me in my education.1dont mean the kind they give you in high school.I want to know different things than they learn there,if you know what I mean."The change maker nodded."Still and all,one hundred books is a pretty big load for onesummer.""It might take longer.""After youre finished with some,maybe you and I can shoot the breeze about them?"said Mr.Cattanzara. "When Im finished,"George answered.Mr.Cattanzara went home and George continued on his walk.After that,though he had the urge to,George did nothing different from usual.He still took his walks at night,ending up in the little park.But one evening the shoemaker on the next block stopped George to say he was a good boy,and George figured that Mr.Cattanzara had told him all about the books he was reading.From the shoemaker it must have gone down the street,because George saw a couple of people smiling kindly at him,though nobody spoke to him personally.He felt a little better around the neighbourhood and liked it more,though not so much he would want to live in it forever.He had never exactly disliked the people in it,yet he had never liked them very much either.It was the fault of the neighbourhood.To his surprise,George found out that his father and his sister Sophie knew about his reading too.His father was too shy to say anything about it-he was never much of a talker in his whole life--but Sophie was softer to George,and she showed him in other ways she was proud of him.22.In the excerpt,Mr.Cattanzara was described as a man whoA.was fond of drinking.B.showed a wide interest.C.often worked overtime.D.liked to gossip after work.23.It can be inferred from the passage thatA.Mr.Cattanzara was surprised at Georges reading plan.B.Mr.Cannazara was doubtful about George throughout.C.George was forced to tell a lie and then regretted.D.George lied at the beginning and then became serious.24.After the street conversation with Mr.Cattanzara,GeorgeA.remained the same as usual.B.became more friendly with Mr.Cattanzara.C.began to like his neighbours more than ever.D.continued to read the books from the list.25.We can tell from the excerpt that GeorgeA.had a neither close nor distant relationship with his father.B.was dissatisfied with his life and surroundings.C.found that his sister remained skeptical about him.D.found his neighbours liked to poke their nose into him.TEXT DAbraham Lincoln turns200this year,and hes beginning to show his age.When his birthday arrives,on February12,Congress will hold a special joint session in the Capitols National Statuary Hall,a wreath will be laid at the great memorial in Washington,and a webcast will link school classrooms for a"teach-in" honouring his memory.Admirable as they are,though,the events will strike many of us Lincoln fans as inadequate,even halfhearted--and another sign that our appreciation for the16th president and his towering achievements is slipping away.And you dont have to be a Lincoln enthusiast to believe that this is something we cant afford to lose.Compare this years celebration with the Lincoln centennial,in1909.That year,Lincolns likeness made its debut on the penny,thanks to approval from the U.S.Secretary of the munities and civic associations in every comer of the country erupted in parades,concerts,balls,lectures,and military displays. We still feel the effects today:The momentum unloosed in1909led to the Lincoln Memorial,opened in 1922,and the Lincoln Highway,the first paved transcontinental thoroughfare.The celebrants in1909had a few inspirations we lack today.Lincolns presidency was still a living memory for countless Americans.In2009we are farther in time from the end of the Second World War than they were from the Civil War;families still felt the loss of loved ones from that awful national trauma.But Americans in1909had something more:an unembarrassed appreciation for heroes and an acute sense of the way that even long-dead historical figures press in on the present and make us who we are.One story will illustrate what lm talking about.In2003a group of local citizens arranged to place a statue of Lincoln in Richmond,Virginia,former capital of the Confederacy.The idea touched off a firestorm of controversy.The Sons of Confederate Veterans held a public conference of carefully selected scholars to"reassess"the legacy of Lincoln.The verdict-no surprise-was negative:Lincoln was labeled everything from a racist totalitarian to a teller of dirty jokes.I covered the conference as a reporter,but what really unnerved me was a counter-conference of scholars to refute the earlier one.These scholars drew a picture of Lincoln that only our touchy-feely age could conjure up.The man who oversaw the most savage war in our history was described-by his admirers,remember-as"nonjudgmental,""unmoralistic,""comfortable with ambiguity."I felt the way a friend of mine felt as we later watched the unveiling of the Richmond statue in a subdued ceremony:"But hes so small!"The statue in Richmond was indeed small;like nearly every Lincoln statue put up in the past half century,it was life-size and was placed at ground level,a conscious rejection of the heroic-approachable and human, yes,but not something to look up to.The Richmond episode taught me that Americans have lost the language to explain Lincolns greatness evento ourselves.Earlier generations said they wanted their children to be like Lincoln:principled,kind, compassionate,resolute.Today we want Lincoln to be like us.This helps to explain the long string of recent books in which writers have presented a Lincoln made after their own image.Weve had Lincoln as humorist and Lincoln as manic-depressive,Lincoln the business sage, the conservative Lincoln and the liberal Lincoln,the emancipator and the racist,the stoic philosopher,the Christian,the atheist-Lincoln over easy and Lincoln scrambled.Whats often missing,,though,i,s the timeless Lincoln,the Lincoln whom all generations,our own no less than that of1909,can lay claim to.Lucky for us,those memorializers from a century ago-and,through them,Lincoln himself-have left us a hin,t of where to find him.The Lincoln Memorial is the mos,,t visited of our presidential monuments.Here is where we find the Lincoln who endures:in the words he left us,defining the country weve inherited.Here is the Lincoln who can be endlessly renewed and who,200 years after his birth,retains the power to renew us.26.The author thinks that this years celebration

about their attitudes towards phone calls and text-messaging (also known as Short Message Service)and found the students main goal was to pass along information in as little time,with as little small talk,as possible."What they like most about their mobile devices is that they can reach other people,"says Naomi Baron,a professor of linguistics at American University in Washington, D.C.,who conducted the survey."What they like least is that other people can reach them."How far do you agree with Professor Baron?You are supposed to write about400words.In the first part of your essay you
