You must choose the one which you think fits best. Blacken the corresponding letter as required on your Machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.笔译综合能力（英语·三级）试卷第10 页（共20页）Questions 61-70 are based on the following passage.Are you interested in seeing the beautiful fall foliage of New England but tired of traffic jams and overbooked hotels? 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. Fall.B. Winter.C. Spring.D. Summer.66.The author’s tone in this passage is ________.A. light and encouragingB. informative and scientificC. humorous and skepticalD. regretful and reminiscent67.From the passage, what might a visitor be lucky enough to do?A. See fall leaves in color.B. See a kind of bird.C. Work on a sheep farm.D. Drive on scenic roads.68.The word “drives” underlined in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.A. excursionsB. tracksC. pathsD. canyons笔译综合能力（英语·三级）试卷第12 页（共20页）69.The word “spotting” underlined in Paragraph 3 means ________.A. photographingB. seeingC. paintingD. shooting70.The author implies that in the Catskills there are few ________.A. leavesB. eaglesC. peopleD. sheepQuestions 71-80 are based on the following passage.First, of course, it is plain that in a few years everyone will have at his elbow several times more mechanical energy than he has today.Second, there will be advances in biological knowledge as far-reaching as those that have been made in physics. 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. Chinese agricultureB. use of new fertilizersC. control of the diseases and the heredity of plants and animalsD. vitamin pills76.Which of the following is NOT true?A. The mental tedium will not exist in the end.B. Hand-loom weaver is the thing of the past.C. Automation is an out-of-date topic today.笔译综合能力（英语·三级）试卷第14 页（共20页）D. 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(6)(总分100, 做题时间180分钟)English-Chinese Translation1.An ancient horse was found in Pompeii's ashes, another testament to cataclysmic eruption. 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”。

CATTI三级笔译综合能力模拟题2020年(2)(总分100, 做题时间120分钟)Cloze TestAs someone who researches generational differences, I find one of the most frequent questions I'm asked is "What generation am I in?"If you were born before 1980, that's a relatively easy question to answer: the Silent Generation【C1】______ born between 1925 and 1945; baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964; Gen X followed (born between 1965 and 1979).Next【C2】______ millennials, born after 1980. But where do millennials end, and when does the next generation begin? Until recently, I (and many others) thought the last millennial birth year would be 1999 — today's 18-year-olds.【C3】______, that changed a few years ago, when I started to【C4】______ big shifts in teens' behavior and【C5】______ in the yearly surveys of 11 million young people that I analyze for my research. Around 2010, teens started to spend their time【C6】______differently from the generations that【C7】______ them. Then, around 2012, sudden shifts in their psychological well-being began to appear. Together, these changes pointed to a generational cutoff around 1995, 【C8】______ meant that the kids of this new, post-millennial generation were already in college.These teens and young adults all have one thing in common: Their childhood or adolescence【C9】______ with the rise of the smartphone.A 2015 survey found that two out of three U.S. teens owned an iPhone. 【C10】______ this reason, I call them iGen, and as I explain in my new book "iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids are Growing up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy — and Completely Unpreparedfor Adulthood", they're the first generation to spend their adolescence with a smartphone.What makes iGen different? Growing up with a smartphone has【C11】______ nearly every aspect of their lives. They spend so much time【C12】______ the internet, texting friends and on social media — in the large surveys I analyzed for the book, an average of about six hours per day — that they have less leisure time for【C13】______ else.That includes【C14】______ was once the favorite activity of most teens: 【C15】_____with their friends. Whether it's going to parties, shopping at the mall, watching movies or aimlessly【C16】______ around, iGen teens are participating in these social activities at a 【C17】______ lower rate than their millennial predecessors.iGen shows another pronounced break with millennials: Depression, anxiety, and loneliness have shot【C18】______ since 2012, withhappiness declining.The teen suicide rate increased【C19】______ more than 50 percent, 【C20】______ did the number of teens with clinical-level depression.SSS_FILL1.【C1】分值: 1答案:C此处the Silent Generation意思为“沉默的一代”，表示整体概念，相当于第三人称单数，且此处描述过去的事情，用was，答案为C。

The second seemed like an effort to bring some levity to a complicated situation. But the third and fourth (and fifth and so on) times that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada wore themed socks on a public occasion, it seemed clear that something more calculated was going on.You've heard of fashion diplomacy, or frock diplomacy? The practice whereby a female politician, or the wife of a world leader, uses clothing to convey unspoken messages about a platform or position, or as a form of outreach? Well, this is clearly sock diplomacy. It's a new tactic in the political playbook.And it reached an apogee of sorts on Sunday, when Mr. Trudeau marched in Toronto's Gay Pride Parade wearing a rainbow-striped pair printed with the words "Eid Mubarak" in recognition of the Islamic festival that marks the end of Ramadan, and which coincided with this year's parade. Yes, he honored **munities with one pair of socks. And he did so while also supporting local industry: They were made by a Toronto-**pany, Halal Socks, and cost $14.99. All that doesn't happen by accident. It also followed closely on an appearance in regular rainbow socks for a Pride flag-raising on June 14 in Ottawa, and one on the syndicated TV show "Live with Kelly and Ryan" on June 5 in patriotic maple leaf socks — which he also wore in 2015 at a gathering of Canada's provincial heads of government.There was another smart socks show in May during a NATO meeting in Brussels, when Mr. Trudeau wore one blue sock and one pink, each with the NATO flag emblazoned on the side. And that followed a much-documented meeting with Enda Kenny, then the prime minister of Ireland, to which Mr. Trudeau wore "Star Wars" socks (it was International "Star Wars" Day).In each case, Mr. Trudeau's socks were not just fun, though they kind of were, **pared with the usual politician's navy or black; they also contained a message of solidarity. Rarely have a man's ankles said so much. It's pretty clever. Men, after all, have significantly fewer options than women when it comes to **munication via clothing. Unlike Hillary Clinton with her white pantsuits, they can't use color to support an idea. They can't really wear suits by different tailors for every country they visit to support local industry, the way Michelle Obama often did and the Duchess of Cambridge does.Wearing a themed tie might be a bit obvious. Occasion-appropriate cuff links would probably be too hard for anyone to spot. But socks? They're subtle enough not to be distracting, but visible enough that you can't miss the point. That's an original solution to the problem. And it's working. Mr. Trudeau's socks have begun to take on a life of their own, chronicled, and mostly celebrated, by observers everywhere. There are, of course, those who take exception to a head of government wearing what have historically been treated as joke, or kitsch, accessories.The point being that the socks reinforce the early criticism of Mr. Trudeau, voiced during his campaign for office, as a lightweight. (On the other hand, you could also see them as his attempt to own that stereotype and reverse it, now that he's in power.) And there are those who pointed out, vis-a-vis the Eid/Pride twofer, that many Muslim countries persecute or sometimes even kill gay citizens, and accused Mr. Trudeau of eliding the issue in his desire to acknowledge everyone at once.But overall, the socks have been a source of, well, pride and applause on an international scale —a symbol both of Mr. Trudeau's ability to embrace multiculturalism and of his position as a next-gen leader not bound by antiquated traditions and mores. Besides, they're a good icebreaker. (See: Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany bending down to admire Mr. Trudeau's choice at NATO.) After all, even when there's no obvious theme to celebrate, Mr. Trudeau rarely chooses the plain pair, opting for argyle or stripes instead, among other patterns. When he met the chairwoman of Xerox, he was wearing a diamond style. **plimented him.81. 81.What can we learn about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau?A.

The New York Times asked journalists who covered Diana and the deadly car accident, which also killed **panion, Dodi Al-Fayed, and their driver, Henri Paul, to share their memo and reflections.Diana was considered disloyal and unhinged, an unguided missile, when she went on the BBC in 1995 to talk of her emotional distress. ("There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.") In a sign of how much things have changed, William and Harry are marking the anniversary by speaking publicly about her, with royal approval.Her death also marked a turning point in the history of Britons' relationship to their own ids, ushering in an era in which people have new license to express themselves and feelings can weigh more heavily than reason, Mr. Freedland said."The reaction to her death is a preview of the Brexit landscape, in which emotion trumps expertise, " he said. "It was a shock to people — we didn't think it was part of the British mind-set — and now, after Brexit, you can see there was something growing there, a willingness to give two fingers to the experts." (Instead of using their middle fingers, Britons use what is known as a two-fingered salute.)Public opinion polls suggest nobody is particularly fond of Prince Charles, who at 68 is stillwaiting for his chance to become king. But they also show that the royal family, led by the seemingly indestructible 91-year-old queen, endures as a comforting unifying thread, providing a constitutional underpinning for a nation whose quirks include the fact that it has no written constitution."The royal family is key to our constitution, " Geordie Greig, editor of The Mail on Sunday, which publishes its share of royal-related articles, said in an email. "It provides a permanent and historical foundation going back more than 1, 000 years."The pomp and circumstance of its spectacles —the weddings of Charles and Diana and of William and Kate; the funeral of Diana — unify the country "with a familial heartbeat that also resonates around the world, " he added.At the very least, the royal family provides a gossipy distraction for a nation fretting about where it belongs and where it is going in this fraught era of Brexit. When is Harry going to propose to his girlfriend, Meghan Markle, and does it matter that she is Canadian, describes herself as mix race and is an actress? How disappointing is it that, at 35, William has already lost much of his hair? How expensive was Kate's sister's very big, very fancy engagement ring?Not everyone loves the royal family. Clearly anyone who visits Diana's memorial fountain in Kensington Gardens is part of a self-selecting group, hardly a representative sample of public opinion. But a recent stop there showed how Diana, even after all this time, remains part of the conversation."I feel bad for Diana, the way they treated her, " said Kristina Landgraf, a German tourist. "She was a good person, she was kicked out of the royal family, and tried to have a personal life."Visitors to Buckingham Palace said that the royal family held a fascination, even for those who are not really a royal family sort of person.91. 91.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to Paragraph 1?A. Britain and the world were shaken by the death of Diana, Prince of Wales in 1997.B. The deadly car accident killed Diana, Diana's companion and her driver.C.

Because Diana's death ushered in an era, in which people have new right to express themselves and feelings are more important than reason.D.

On the high plains a rig gnaws at rock more than 3, 000 feet (0.9km) underground. When the drill bit reaches about a mile and a half in depth, nearly six times the height of the Empire State Building, it will munch its way sideways for another two miles. **es the interesting part. **pleting one horizontal well, the towering rig will rise virtually intact, shuffle forward for about an hour, then prepare to drill again.Such walking rigs are one way that Concho Resources, **pany which owns the well, seeks to extract more oil, more efficiently. Concho is not alone. The shale industry has made America the world's top producer of crude oil. But as the world becomes more dependent on American oil, American oil is becoming more dependent on the Permian Basin, which spans about 75, 000 square miles across west Texas and southeastern New Mexico. On the surface, the natural。

CATTI三级笔译实务模拟题2020年(7)(总分100, 做题时间180分钟)English-Chinese Translation1.As digital technologies and automation have advanced, fears about workers' futures have increased. But, the end result does not have to be negative. The key is education.Already, robots are taking over a growing number of routine and repetitive tasks, putting workers in some sectors under serious pressure. In South Korea, which has the world's highest density of industrial robots — 631 per 10, 000 workers — manufacturing employment is declining, and youth unemployment is high. In the United States, the increased use of robots has, according to a 2017 study, hurt employment and wages.But while technological progress undoubtedly destroys jobs, it also creates them. The invention of motor vehicles largely wiped out jobs building or operating horse-drawn carriages, but generated millions more not just in automobile factories, but also in related sectors like road construction.The challenge today lies in the fact that the production and use of increasingly advanced technologies demand new, often higher-level skills, which cannot simply be picked up on the job. Given this, countries need to ensure that all of their residents have access to high-quality education and training programs that meet the needs of the labor market. The outcome of the race between technology and education will determine whether the opportunities presented by major innovations are seized, and whether the benefits of progress are widely shared.In a report by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), 66% of executives surveyed were dissatisfied with the skill level of young employees, and 52% said a skills gap was an obstacle to their firm's performance. Meanwhile, according to a survey, 21% of workers reported feeling over-educated for their jobs.This suggests that formal education is teaching workers the wrong things, and that deep reform is essential to facilitate the development of digital knowledge and technical skills, as well asnon-routine cognitive and non-cognitive (or "soft") skills. This includes the "four Cs of twenty-first century learning" (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, **munication) — areas where humans retain a considerable advantage over artificially intelligent machines.The process must begin during primary education, because only with a strong foundation can people take full advantage of later education and training. And in the economy of the future, that training willnever really end. Given rapid technological progress, improved opportunities for effective lifelong learning will be needed to enable workers to upgrade their skills continuously or learn new ones. At all levels of education, curricula should be made more flexible and responsive to changing technologies and market demands. One potential barrier to this approach is a dearth of well-trained teachers. Building a quality teaching force will require both monetary and non-monetary incentives for teachers and higher investment in their professional development.This includes ensuring that teachers have the tools they need to take full advantage of information **munication technology (ICT), which is not being used widely, despite its potential to ensure broad access to lifelong learning through formal and informal channels.ICT can also help to address shortages of qualified teachers and other educational resources by providing access across long distances, via online learning platforms. For example, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's OpenCourseWare enables students around the world to reach some of the world's foremost teachers.This points to the broader value of international cooperation. The education challenges raised by advancing technologies affect everyone, so countries should work together to address them,including through exchanges of students and teachers and construction and upgrading of ICT infrastructure.The artificial intelligence revolution will be hugely disruptive, but it will not make humans obsolete. With revamped education systems, we can ensure that technological progress makes all of our lives more hopeful, fulfilling, and prosperous.SSS_TEXT_QUSTI分值: 50答案:随着数字技术和自动化技术的发展，人们越来越担忧劳动者的未来。

2020年下半年英语三级笔译（CATTI 3) 实务考试真题及参考译文Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese.At 51, Cathy wanted to put her Oxford physics degree and former experience to better use. she had worked part-time in a school for several years while her three children were young, but she wanted to get back into the corporate world. Several applications later, she was getting nowhere. Then a friend told her about “returnships”, a form of work experience that some companies are experimenting with to help middle-aged people--mainly women--return to work, often after breaks to care for families.Cathy eventually secured a place on an 11-week“Career returners”program with a company, open to men and women, which included being paired with a 20-year-old male student. He helped to acquaint her with new technology, such as using an iPhone and accessing the company’s virtual network from her laptop so she could work from home but still access internal files.“On the assessment day, I thought they must have been looking at my project management skills. But they weren’t looking at us for specific roles. They were just thinking, ‘these women have a lot to offer, let’s see what they can do.’That was refreshing.” A clutch of companies in the UK and the U.S. have spotted an opportunity in hiring female returnees, who can put to use again technical skills learned earlier in their careers.They believe middle-aged women returning after a break make particularly good employees, because they bring a fresh perspective. Women tend to combine high emotional intelligence with strong leadership and organizational skills. “There is a massive pool of highly skilled people who want to return to work”, says the head of human resources of an engineering company.“Recruitment agencies typically view people who have had two years out as a risk, but we see them as a great opportunity.”In fact, by hiring female returnees,companies can access good skills these women developed in their former high-level jobs--and for a discount. In return,employers coach these middle-aged females back into working life. Through her returnship, Cathy gained a full-time role as an operations data consultant. She still is earning less than she would like to, “but it’s a foot in the door and the salary is up for review in six months,”she says. It is still overwhelmingly women who stay home to care for young children. UK government figures show that women account for around 90 percent of people on career breaks for caring reasons. A lack of middle-aged women working, particularly in high skilled roles, is costing the UK economy £50 billion a year, according to a report. The report found that men over 50 took home nearly two-thirds of the total wages paid out to everyone in that age range in 2015. It blamed the pay gap on the low-skilled, part-time roles middle-aged women often accept. Some 40 percent of women in work in the UK do so part-time, as opposed to only 11 percent of men. This issue is not restricted to the UK. A study last year by economists found “strong evidence of age discrimination in hiring against older women”in a range of white- and blue-collar jobs. The data show that it is harder for middle-aged women to find jobs than it is for middle-aged men, regardless of whether they have taken a break from working.【参考译文】：51岁的凯茜希望更好地利用她的牛津大学物理学学位以及先前的工作经验。

Klarna: Getting More Ambitious(节选)Caution: reimagining under way小心：重塑进行中Klarna has not been signing up American retailers as quickly as it had anticipated. But it hopes two global trends will speed its expansion. The more that online shopping moves to phones, the more pressing it is for all online traders to make their checkouts quick and easy to use, but still safe. Customers particularly detest typing in credit card numbers on their phones, especially if asked to do so in public – while riding a busy bus, say. Klarna reckons over 60% of its business today involves mobile shopping, compared with less than 10% two years ago. Some retailers, such as sellers of shoes and clothes, report an especially rapid shift to mobile.The other broad trend is for shopping across national borders. Online markets, such as , connect bargain-hungry consumers in rich countries to producers of clothes, watches, toys or jewellery in, for example, China. Klarna works with Wish on European sales, letting customers pay for goods ordered cross-border only after getting them, which can take weeks. That reassures shoppers not ready to trust an anonymous Chinese T-shirt firm to deliver. Many sellers are appalled by the prospect of having to comply with different countries’ financial laws, say on extending credit, so they readily outsource payments.Klarna, in contrast, is a glutton for regulatory punishment. In fact, it is entering the most regulated bit of finance: retail banking. It is licensed as a bank in Sweden, which allows it to collect deposits from all over Europe. Mr Siemiatkowski sees this as a cheap source of financing, but also as a big opportunity. Just like online shoppers, he argues, bank customers are desperate for a safe-but-simple mobile interface like the one Klarna offers in payments. The firm’s 45m users provide it with a big and growing pool of potential banking customers who already have an inkling of the sort of service it can provide. “In the longer term we need to reimagine what banks really are,” he says, sounding like a typical fintech boss at last.Klarna招揽美国零售商的速度不如预期，但公司寄望全球的两大趋势帮助其加速扩张。

英译汉More than 25 million years ago, India, once a separate island on a quickly sliding piece of the Earth’s crust, crashed into Asia. The two land masses are still colliding, pushed together at a speed of 1.5 to 2 inches a year. The forces have pushed up the highest mountains in the world, in the Himalayas, and have set off devastating earthquakes.Experts had warned of the danger to the people of Katmandu for decades. The death toll in Nepal on Saturday was practically inevitable given the tectonics, the local geology that made the shaking worse and the lax construction of buildings that could not withstand the shaking.GeoHazards International, a nonprofit organization in Menlo Park, Calif., that tries to help poorer, more vulnerable regions like Nepal prepare for disasters, had noted that major earthquakes struck that region about every 75 years.In 1934 —81 years ago —more than 10,000 people died in a magnitude 8.1 earthquake in eastern Nepal, about six miles south of Mount Everest. A smaller quake in 1988 with a magnitude of 6.8 killed more than 1,000 people.Brian Tucker, president and founder of GeoHazards, said that in the 1990s, his organization predicted that if the 1934 quake were to happen again, 40,000 people would die because of migration to the city where tall, flimsily built buildings would collapse.In an update just this month, GeoHazards wrote, “With an annual population growth rate of 6.5 percent and one of the highest urban densities in the world, the 1.5 million people living in the Katmandu Valley were clearly facing a serious and growing earthquake risk.”The organization helped set up a local nonprofit to continue preparations, including the reinforcement of schools and hospitals.Saturday’s earthquake occurred to the northwest of Katmandu at a relatively shallow depth, about nine miles, which caused greater shaking at the surface, but at magnitude 7.8, it released less energy than the 1934 quake.Roger Bilham, a professor of geological sciences at the University of Colorado who has studied the history of earthquakes in that region, said that the shaking lasted one to two minutes, and the fault slipped about 10 feet along the rupture zone, which stretched 75 miles, passing under Katmandu.The earthquake “translated the whole city southward by 10 feet,”Dr. Bilham said.Aftershocks as large as magnitude 6.6 have occurred mostly to the northeast of Katmandu.It is possible that the Saturday quake is a preface to an even larger one, but Dr. Bilham said that was unlikely.Katmandu and the surrounding valley sit on an ancient dried-up lake bed, which contributed to the devastation. “Very, very soft soil, and the soft soil amplifies seismic motion,”Dr. Tucker said.Steep slopes in the area are also prone to avalanches like the one that the quake triggered on Mount Everest on Saturday.Katmandu is not the only place where a deadly earthquake has been expected.Dr. Tucker said Tehran; Haiti; Lima, Peru; and Padang, Indonesia, were similarly vulnerable. In those places, nearby tectonic faults are under strain, and building standards and disaster preparations are seen as inadequate.参考译文：2500多万年前，印度还是一个快速滑动的板块上的独立岛屿，它与亚洲大陆发生了碰撞。

【参考译文】For decades, China has witnessed rapid economic growth and huge improvements in the living standards of its citizens, but these achievements come at a huge cost to the environment. We believe that by learning lessons of the past, we can find better ways forward. Therefore, China now takes robust efforts to promote ecological civilization and green, circular and low-carbon development. It has integrated climate actions into medium- and long-term plans for economic and social development, and focused on climate change mitigation and adaption simultaneously. In addition, it has taken legal, administrative, technological and market-based measures to ensure the implementation of relevant programs. China’s total renewable power capacity and new renewable capacity account for 24% and 42% of the global total respectively. And with that, China is the world’s largest country in terms of energy conservation and application of new energy and renewable energy.In line with a balanced approach to upholding principles and pursuing interests, China takes an active part in global cooperation against climate change. Over recent years, the government has honored its commitments to South-Southcooperation on climate change. It supports developing countries, especially the least developed countries, landlocked developing countries and small island developing states, in addressing this global challenge. As part of its growing international assistance, China in September pledged 20 billion yuan for a China South-South Climate Cooperation Fund. And in 2020, it will build 10 low-carbon demo zones and 100 climate change mitigation and adaptation programs, and offer training programs for 1,000 climate-related professionals in other developing countries. Also, it will continue international cooperation in clean energy, disaster prevention and relief, environmental protection, climate-adapted agriculture and low-carbon smart cities, and help these countries increase their ability to secure capital.。

CATTI三级笔译实务模拟题2020年(11)(总分100,考试时间180分钟)English-Chinese Translation1. 1.As dawn breaks in Hanoi the botanical gardens start to fill up. 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。

How a Wise Man Sees ItA man recognized as a genius in business circles was invited as a guest of honor to a TV interview. Everybody was eager to hear a success story from him. He, however, only said with a slight smile：“Wouldn’t it be better for me to ask you for advice on a certain problem?”Here is the problem he raised：People all rushed to the place where a gold mine had recently been discovered, but they were blocked by a river flowing across the only way to it. What would you do if you were among them?“Make a roundabout way,” someone suggested.“Swim across,” said another.The genius smiled without a word. Eventually he gave his view：“Why not do something else instead of rushing to the mine? How about buying a boat to do some ferrying?”The audience was shocked. He explained calmly：“The man could extort money from the passengers to the greatest extent. They would have been willing to pay because there was gold on the other bank.”Do what others would not like to do or do something never attempted before by others – that is the key to success. A straitened circumstance, in the eyes of a wise man, often means a potential chance for success.。
