11月翻译资格考题三级英语笔译实务试卷Section 1：英译汉（50 分）Plans are well under way for a year of celebrations to mark the upcoming bicentennial of one of Poland's favorite native sons-Frédéric, Chopin.The prestigious International Chopin Competition for pianists will mark its 16th edition in October 2010. Held every five years, the competition draws scores of young musicians from all over the world. In addition, Warsaw's Chopin Museum, with the world's largest collection of Chopin documents and other artifacts, will undergo a total redesign, modernization and expansion.A lavishly illustrated new guidebook called "Chopin's Poland" was already published this year. It leads visitors to dozens of sites in Warsaw and elsewhere around the country where the composer lived, ate, studied, performed, visited or even partied."Actually, Chopin doesn't need to be promoted, but we hope that Poland and Polish culture can be promoted through Chopin," said Monika Strugala, who is coordinating the Chopin 2010 program under the aegis of the Fryderyk ChopinInstitute, a body set up by the Sejm in 2001 to promote and protect Chopin's work and image."We want to confirm to all that he is a very, very important Polish symbol," she said. Indeed, it's not much of an exaggeration to say that Chopin's music flows through the Polish national consciousness like some sort of cultural lifeblood. The son of a Polish mother and a French émigréfather, Chopin was born in a manor house at Zelazowa Wola, about 50 kilometers, or 30 miles, west of Warsaw, and moved to Warsaw as an infant.The manor is something of a Chopin shrine-since the 1930 s it has been a museum and center for concerts. Like the Chopin Museum in Warsaw, it, too, is undergoing extensive renovation as part of bicentennial preparations.Chopin spent his first 20 years in and around Warsaw. He was already a noted pianist as a boy and composed concertos and other important works as a teenager. He carried Polish soil with him when he left Warsaw on a concert tour in 1830, just a few weeks before the outbreak of the November Uprising, an abortive Polish revolt against Czarist Russia, which then ruled Warsaw and a broad swath of Polishterritory.Chopin remained in exile in France after the uprising was crushed. But so attached was he to his native land that after his death in Paris in 1849 his heart-on his own instructions-was brought back to Warsaw for interment. The rest of his body is buried in the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris."For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,"reads the Biblical inscription on a plaque where his heart is kept today, preserved in an urn and concealed in a pillar of the Holy Cross Church in central Warsaw. Mozart's"Requiem" will be performed here as part of Bicentennial events.Exile and patriotism, as well as extraordinary genius, have long made Chopin's appeal transcend all manner of social and political divides.Polish folk motifs thread through some of his finest pieces, and patriotic fervor,as well as homesick longing, infuse some of his best-known works.Section 2：汉译英（50 分）国际金融危机给中国带来了前所未有的困难和挑战。

2015上半年CATTI三级笔译真题及参考答案——英译汉Section1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)Forgenerations, coal has been the lifeblood of this mineral-rich stretch ofeastern Utah. Mining families proudly recall all the years they toiledunderground. Supply companies line the town streets. Above the road that windstoward the mines, a soot-smudged miner peers out from a billboard with theslogan “Coal =Jobs.”犹他州东部有一个矿产丰富的小镇，那里的人们祖祖辈辈都以采煤为生。

一提起在地下辛苦采煤时的情景，每个家庭总是倍感骄傲。

街道两旁的煤炭供应公司一个挨着一个。

在通往矿井的蜿蜒小路上方的广告牌上，一个满脸炭灰的矿工凝视着远方，旁边的标语写着“煤炭=工作”。

Butrecently, fear has settled in. The state’s oldest coal-fired power plant,tucked among the canyons near town, is set to close, a result of new, stricterfederal pollution regulations.但是最近，小镇的人们心里充满了恐惧。

联邦政府新颁布了一套更为严格的污染管理条例，这使得小镇附近峡谷之中的一家美国最古老的燃煤电厂频临倒闭。

As energy companies tack away from coal, toward cleaner, cheaper natural gas, people here have grown increasingly afraid that their community may soon slip away. Dozens of workers at the facility here, the Carbon Power Plant, have learned that they must retire early or seek other jobs. Local trucking and equipment outfits are preparing to take business elsewhere.由于能源公司纷纷弃用煤炭，转而使用更清洁、更廉价的天然气，小镇的人们越来越害怕，他们的家园可能很快就会人去楼空。

2015年11月7日学位英语真题Part I reading comprehension (30%)Passage 1Since its founding in 1948, McDonald’s has grown from a family burger（汉堡包）stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies’ purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index（巨无霸指数）. That’s not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesn't serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald’s as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism（沙文主义）, and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald’s under construction to protest globalization and “bad food.” The nest year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. (76) No one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.1.According to the passage, which of the following statements isNOT TRUE?A.McDonald’s was founded in 1948.B.McDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C.McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D.McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.2.The word “ubiquitous”in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean_____.A. very crowdedB. very cleanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently3.From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that _____.A.McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peoplelions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC.the McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such asthe Big MacD.the low prices of McDonald’s bring tens of millions of peoplethrough its door every day.4.What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest againstMcDonald’s?A.They organized a strike.B.They protested outside a McDonald’s.C.They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.D.They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction.5.In _____, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on aMcDonald’s restaurant in France.A.1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Passage 2Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory（印第安人保护区）that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. (77) He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim has twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. (78) The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a start athlete（运动员）in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the US Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength, the pentathlon has five track and field events, including the longjump, and the 1,500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping, and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”6.From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in ____.A.IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden7.According to the passage, most American Indian children lovedall the following except ______.A.fishingB. huntingC. swimmingD. singing8.Jim Thorpe started to play sports _____.A.before he was nine years oldB. when he was 16 years oldB.when he was 24 years old D. before his parents passed away9.The word decathlon in Paragraph 3 probably means _____.A.jumpingB. five track and field eventsB.throwing D. ten track and field events10.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B.Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C.Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D.In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. Passage 3It can be really frustrating（使人沮丧的）for an overweight person to got a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny”members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering （迎合）to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs（六块腹肌）. (79) They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted（有色的）windows for privacy, are all important changes.(80) Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it’s a step in the right direction.11. The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closet in meaning to ____.A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite12. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that _____.A. most large gym chains really don’t want members to show up frequentlyB. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away bytraditional gym industry.C. regular gyms don’t accept overweight people to participate intheir programsD. overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym13. What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A. To achieve functional fitness.B. To build six-pack abs.C. To look like a model.D. To be able to run long distances.14. As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. The machines are designed for larger people.B. Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C. There are large mirrors on the walls,D. The training goals are more realistic.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Improving Women’s Self-confidence through ExercisesB. The Traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its CustomersC. The Fitness Industry Is Looking for New DirectionsD. Specialized Gyms Designed for Overweight PeoplePart II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)16.

CATTI三级口译英译汉真题2015年11月(总分100,考试时间120分钟)English-Chinese Translation1. AMBASSADOR BAUCUS: Thank you so very much Mr. Tian Jian. I deeply appreciate that introduction. I want to also thank the tour director who gave us a wonderful tour through the museum. Bai Hong and Yang Fuquan, Vice President of the local Academy of Social Science who I just met, as well as Lu Tianyun, Director General of the Foreign Affairs Office up here at Kunming.Before I go any farther I’d like to introduce my wife, Melodee Hanes. I have a very good time when I’m in groups introducing Mel and telling everybody this is my “Tai tai, wo de tai, tai.”Sometimes she says maybe the word should be a little bit more formal. That “tai tai”is a little informal, but I don’t care. She’s my “tai tai.”I wanted to tell you how pleased we are, Mel and I, to be here at Kunming, for many many reasons. One is your wonderful perfect weather. It is truly heaven. When I next see President Xi I’m going to suggest he move the nation’s capital from Beijing to Kunming.Now all of you here in Kunming may not like that. With all the subway construction here, which is delaying traffic, you probably don’t want all these presidential motorcades in Kunming blocking traffic even further. So I suspect that you would not be too happy with the nation’s capital moving to Kunmi ng.But, thank you so much. It’s so good to be here.This is our first visit, Mel and I. I’m so impressed, as I mentioned. And we like Kunming so much that during lunch today we **paring notes and asking each other, when can we return? We’re thinking of probably returning sometime this summer.You might ask, why are we here today at the Kunming Museum? The answer is very simple. Let me start with a story about an American pilot named Lieutenant Robert H. Mooney. Lieutenant Mooney, as you all know, it’s a story well known here in Kunming, Lieutenant Mooney made the ultimate sacrifice. He and other Flying Tiger pilots from the United States 14th Air Force were assigned to protect an airfield in Dali from enemy bombers. The airfield was jointly built by U.S. and Chinese workers. In the battle to protect the airfield, Lieutenant Mooney shot down at least two enemy planes before his plane was damaged in a dogfight near the village of Xiangyun. And rather than eject, his plane was very damaged, it was clear the plane was going down. But rather than eject and save himself which would mean that his plane would crash into the village, Lieutenant Mooney did something else. He steered the plane away from Xiangyun as villagers watched below. But by the time he finally ejected, you know the story, it was too late. But by sparing the village, Lieutenant Mooney died of injuries he suffered when he jumped out of his plane but the parachute didn’t open. He therefore as a consequence died. He gave his life for the people of Xiangyun village.After his death the people of Xiangyun, many of you here, dedicated a monument to him at the crash site. To this day many villagers here at Xiangyun tidy up Lieutenant Mooney’s monument each year on Tomb Sweeping Day. Why? To express their gratitude for his sacrifice.Lieutenant Mooneywas just one of 2,590 American service men and women who died in China during the Second World War. Throughout the war, U.S. combatants in China were touched by the kindness and bravery of their Chinese partners. Brave men and women provided assistance and shelter to thousands of American airmen whose planes were shot down for a cause they shared. In fact over at the museum just an hour or so ago we saw many photographs of Chinese helping give care and assistance to airmen and soldiers who were injured in the war.People from both countries sacrificed greatly. I might say too at lunch today I sat next to Mr. Sun Guansheng who I think is head of the Flying Tigers Association here in Kunming and we s hared many stories together. He’s a very perceptive man. I’m deeply impressed with him. And we talked about history, beginning with Sun Yat-Sen and Whampoa the development of the academy that trained soldiers, and Claire Chennault and Stillwell and others who were here. I just want to complement him. He’s quite a wonderful man.The Second World War has a personal meaning for me and for my wife Mel. We are both children of World War II veterans. My father served in the U.S. Air Force not here, but in Euro pe. Mel’s father was here in China. He was a United States pilot. He loved to tell stories of the missions that he flew just north of Shanghai. I’ve heard many stories about how proud he was to fight alongside the Chinese during the war. In fact Mel has a piece of silk that he carried with him when he was flying in battle over China. The silk includes a picture of the American flag as well as language in Chinese basically saying, “I’m an American. I’m here flying to help China against the Japanese. And if you find me please help and assist me and give me care.”It was a silk message he carried with him in case he was shot down.So it’s clear that Chinese and Americans performed heroic acts of bravery. Both sides sacrificed and demonstrated just **mitted our two countries were to helping each other in a moment of need. Bonds like these are lasting. We can’t forget the bravery and sacrifices of men and women on both sides that came together for a common cause.Our history here and our partnership in the war fighting fascism is really a foundation for us to build on. It reminds me very much of the importance of this relationship. That is the relationship between China and the United States. I think it’s the most important relationship between any two countries in the world today and it’s up to us to work hard to make sure we get that, make that right. The only way to do that is to work together as we did in critical moments in the past.The cooperation between our two countries is only one part of the efforts we have to undertake. We have to also work with others to make sure this world is a better place than the one we found. Since our victory over fascism 70 years ago Asia has enjoyed unprecedented peace and prosperity. If you pause and think about it just a few minutes, it’s incredible how much Asia has grown and prospered since the end of World War II.The Japan of 1945 is gone. Today’s Japan is a democracy, a close U.S. ally and a critical economic partner to both our countries. In fact, steady ties between China and Japan help ensure a stable regional security environment that enables East Asia to flourish. Healthy relations between China and Japan are good for all.That’s why, frankly, we Americans welcomed the Four Point Agreement that President Xi and Prime Minister Abe reached just this last November, and it’s why we encourage further involvement and the cooperative effort between China and Japan. It’s helpful for both countries and also for the rest of the world.Across the world, countries that once fought against each other now work together on many of the world’s most pressing issues. So much more can be accomplished when they work together.The world is growing smaller and many of the threats we face today are becoming more urgent. The clock is ticking. We live at a critical moment in history. Today China and the United States face great challenges together onmany fronts. North Korea and Iranian nuclear programs, violent extremism, pandemic diseases like Ebola, food security, environmental protection and climate change. These are just a few of the many issues where our futures are intertwined, interrelated--the U.S. and China and the rest of the world.I’ve had this job now representing the United States in China about ten months. I love it. It’s the best job in the world. But in my one year here, I must tell you just how deeply heartened I am that our two countries are working so closely together and I sense becoming even closer together.First of all, our economic relations are very deep and contribute to prosperity in both countries. Nearly 11 billion RMB worth of goods and services flow between our countries every day. Our total annual bilateral trade reached about 3.7 trillion Renminbi in 2013. That’s about 700 million iPhones or to say it another way, about five times what it was when China joined the WTO back 13 years ago. And there’s more. Members of our militaries are working side by side in Africa to bring Ebola under control and to counter piracy in the Gulf of Aden.It’s really quite encouraging. In many respects it brings opportunities but it also brings responsibilities. Last November I was with President Obama in Beijing, with him and with President Xi when they made that very historic agreement on carbon emissions. That was an historic agreement. Stop and think about it. Our two countries agreed to limit, actually limit, carbon emissions by a certain date, setting a precedent for all countries around the world to also follow suit and set their own carbon emission limitation dates so that together all countries of the world can affect climate change. As you know, the next major step is in Paris later this year and if we work very hard together we can lead the world in making sure that the Paris Conference is successful.President Obama and President Xi also made a landmark announcement on visas that can help nearly everyone in this room. They’ve extended the validity of business and tourist visas to ten years, and extended student and exchange visas to five years. We’ve already issued tens of thousands of new visas since that announcement just two months ago. That was last year.So I ask you--join me this year at the 70th Anniversary of the end of World War II to honor Lieutenant Mooney and all that we have achieved together. Let’s look ahead together to address the challenges facing our two countries and the world. The sacrifices here, here in Kunming, showed that when the United States and China work together we can accomplish great things.That work continues. That’s why I’m here with you. We have a responsibility to get this relationship between our two countries right. It’s rewarding and it’s also, I might add, a lot of fun. So onward, we move together. And I thank you very much for letting me be here with you. Thank you.。

英语三级《笔译实务》试卷（实务科目）2016.11Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese.Harper Lee was an ordinary woman as stunned as anybody by the extraordinary success of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”“It was like being hit over the head and knocked cold,” Lee — who died Friday at age 89，said during a 1964 interview. “I didn’t expect the book to sell in the first place. I was hoping for a quick and merciful death at the hands of reviewers but at the same time I sort of hoped that maybe someone would like it enough to give me encouragement.”“To Kill a Mockingbird” may not be the Great American Novel. But it’s likely the most universally known work of fiction by an American author over the past 70 years, Lee was cited for her subtle, graceful style and gift for explaining the world through a child’s eye, but the secret to the novel’s ongoing appeal was also in how many books this single book contained.“To Kill a Mockingbird” was a coming-of-age story, a courtroom thriller, a Southern novel, a period piece, a drama about class, and — of course —a drama of race.” All I want to be is the Jane Austen of South Alabama,” she once observed. The story of Lee is essentially the story of her book, and how she responded to it. She was a warm, vibrant and witty woman who played golf, fished, ate at McDonald’s, fed ducks by tossing seed corn out of a Cool Whip tub, read voraciously, and got about to plays and concerts. She just didn’t want to talk about it before an audience.“To Kill a Mockingbird” was an instant and ongoing hit, published in 1960, as the civil rights movement was accelerating. It’s the story of a girl nicknamed Scout growing up in a Depression-era Southern town. A black man has been wrongly accused of raping a white woman, and Scout’s father, the resolute lawyer, defends him despite threats and the scorn of many. Praised by The New Yorker as “skilled, unpretentious, and totally ingenious,” the book won the Pulitzer Prize and was made into a memorable movie in 1962.“Mockingbird” inspired a generation of young lawyers and social workers, was assigned in high schools all over the country and was a popular choice for citywide, or nationwide, reading programs, although it was also occasionally removed from shelves for its racial content and references to rape. By 2015, sales topped 40 million copies.When the Library of Congress did a survey in 1991 on books that have affected people’s lives, “To Kill a Mockingbird” was second only to the Bible. Lee herself became more elusive to the public as her book became more famous. At first, she dutifully promoted her work. She spoke frequently to the press, wrote about herself and gave speeches, once to a class of cadets at West Point.But shebegan declining interviews in the mid-1960s and, until late in her life, firmly avoided making any public comment about her novel or her career.Her novel, while hugely popular, was not ranked by many scholars in the same category as the work of other Southern authors Decades after its publication, little was written about it in scholarly journals. Some critics have called the book naive and sentimental, whether dismissing the Ku Klux Klan as a minor nuisance or advocating change through personal persuasion rather than collective action.Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into English.本公司是一家大型国有房地产上市公司，国家一级房地产开发资质企业，连续五年荣膺中国房地产行业领导公司品牌。

2016年5月翻译资格考试三级英语笔译真题及答案试题部分：Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) Translate the following passage into Chinese.LECCO, Italy — Each morning, about 450 students travel along 17 school bus routes to 10 elementary schools in this lakeside city at the southern tip of Lake Como. There are zero school buses.In 2003, to confront the triple threats of childhood obesity, local traffic jams and —most important —a rise in global greenhouse gases abetted by car emissions, an environmental group here proposed a retro-radical concept: children should walk to school.They set up a piedibus (literally foot-bus in Italian) —a bus route with a driver but no vehicle. Each morning a mix of paid staff members and parental volunteers in fluorescent yellow vests lead lines of walking students along Lecco’s twisting streets to the schools’ gates, Pied Piper-style, stopping here and there as their flock expands.At the Carducci School, 100 children, or more than half of the students, now take walking buses. Many of them were previously driven in cars. Giulio• Greppi, a 9-year-old with shaggy blond hair, said he had been driven about a third of a mile each way until he started taking the piedibus. “I get to see my friends and we feel special because we know it’s good for the environment,” he said.Although the routes are each generally less than a mile, the town’s piedibuses have so far eliminated more than 100,000 miles of car travel and, in principle, prevented thousands of tons of greenhouse gases from entering the air, Dario Pesenti, the town’s environment auditor, estimates.The number of children who are driven to school over all is rising in the United States and Europe, experts on both continents say, making up a sizable chunk of transportation’s contribution to greenhouse-gas emissions. The “school run” made up 18 percent of car trips by urban residents of Britain last year, a national survey showed.In 1969, 40 percent of students in the United States walked to school; in 2001, the most recent year data was collected, 13 percent did, according to the federal government’s National Household Travel Survey. Lecco’s walking bus was the first in Italy, but hundreds have cropped up elsewhere in Europe and, more recently, in North America to combat the trend.Towns in France, Britain and elsewhere in Italy have created such routes, although few are as extensive and long-lasting as Lecco’s.Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (汉译英) Translate the following passage into English.全球气候变化深刻影响着人类生存和发展，是各国共同面临的重大挑战。

The G20 chair rotates between members, and is selected from a different regional grouping of countries each year.The chair is part of a revolving three-member management troika of past, present and future chairs. The incumbent chair establishes a temporary secretariat for the duration of its term, which coordinates the group's operations and organizes its meetings.The role of the troika is to ensure continuity in the G20's work and management across host years.以上为11月7日catti三级口译《综合能力》完形填空部分真题。

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter.Passage OneHere's a familiar story. You're sitting at the dinner table with a furry, four-legged friend scratching at your feet. When you look down, those cute eyes are almost impossible to resist.What is it about a dog's gaze that makes it so charming? A new study by Japanese scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the answer, and it has to do with something called the cuddle(爱抚)chemical.The cuddle chemical has another, more scientific name: oxytocin. Oxytocin is a substance in the blood that encourages bonding. Levels of oxytocin increase, for example, when a mother feeds her newborn baby. According to Nagasawa's study, the same is true when we look deeply into the eyes of a dog.The results of this study can tell us a lot about the history of the bond between humans and dogs. It all started somewhere tens of thousands of years ago. Scientists believe that wolves used to follow humans who were hunting large animals. The wolves would eat the food left behind by the humans.Humans realized that they could use the wolves to help with the hunt, and eventually both species began to work together toward survival.Over time, the wolves that interacted with the humans began to change. They became more loyal to their human partners. The wolves and humans started to depend on each other and bond with each other. These changes are what caused some of the wolves to turn into what we now know as dogs, a new specie^ evolved to better survive in their environment.This process depended a great deal on the bond humans formed with them. And according to Nagasawa's study, this bond was formed with the help of oxytocin, the cuddle chemical.11. What do we know about oxytocin?A. It regulates blood flow.B. It promotes bonding.C. It is in the human gene.D. It is good for health.12. When we look deeply into a dog's eyes, the levels of our oxytocin ____.A. reduce over timeB. go either up or downC. are on the riseD. remain unchanged13.

Explore the role of human-wolf partnership.B. Show the characteristics of the cuddle chemical.C. Explain the bond between humans and dogs.D. Understand the evolution of species.Passage TwoRed Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by the scriptwriter Richard Curtis. He wrote the famous films 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' and 'Notting Hill'. Richard's idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe famine in Ethiopia* It's called Red "Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well established that many people consider it to be an unofficial. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was ‘Do Something Funny for Money' and the money that was collected helped to fund projects in the following areas, treating malaria(疟疾), education, and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day program raised £74.3 million! Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools participate. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.In the evening of Red Nose Day a telethon takes place on the BBC TV channels. It shows on and on a selection of the events of the day, as well as lots of comic sketches and reports of how the money raised will be spent. People also upload videos of local charity events on YouTube and Facebook.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things!

2015-11-07北京地区成人学士学位英语考试试题I. Reading comprehensionPassage 1Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger (汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index (巨无霸指数).That’s not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesn’t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism (沙文主义), and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb exploded in a FrenchMcDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. (76) (76)No one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of pea ceful globalization.1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE.A. McDonald's was founded in 1948.B. McDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C. McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D. McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.2. The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean ____.A. very crowdedB. very deanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently3. From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that ____.A. McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peopleB. millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC. the McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD. the low prices McDonald’s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day4. What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald's?A. They organized a strike.B. They protested outside a McDonald’s.C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.D. They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction.5. In ____, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s restaurant in France.A. 1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Passage 2Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory（印第安人保护区）that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. (76)He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a specialschool in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. (77) The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete(运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U. S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1,500-meter race. The decathlon hasten track and field and filed events, with running, jumping, and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”6. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in ______.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden7. According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPT _____.A. fishingB. huntingC. swimmingD. singing8. Jim Thorpe started to play sports _____.A. before he was nine years old.B. when he was 16 years oldC. when he was 24 years oldD. before his parents passed away9.

In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B. Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D. In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. Passage 3It can be really frustrating(使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walkby almost any nice gym and no tice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny”members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are , well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering(迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers by ded icating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommended functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌). (79)They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted(有色的) windows for privacy, are all important changes.(80) Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it’sa step in the right direction.11. The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite12. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that ___________.A. most large gym chains really want members to show up frequentlyB. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC. regular gyms don’t accept overweight people to participate in their programsD. overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym13. What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A. To achieve functional fitness.B. To build six-pack abs.C. To look like a fitness model.D. To be able to run long distances.14. As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. The machines are designed for larger people.B. Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C. There are larger mirrors on the walls.D. The training goals are more realistic.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Improving Women’s Self-confidence through ExercisesB.

2015年11月全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试英语三级《笔译实务》试卷Section1:English-Chinese Translation(50points)Translate the following passage into Chinese.The Republic of Ireland is a sovereign state in Western Europe,occupying about five-sixths of the island of Ireland.The capital and largest city is Dublin,whose metropolitan area is home to around a third of the country’s 4.6million inhabitants.The state shares its only land border with Northern Ireland.It is a unitary,parliamentary republic with an elected president serving as head of state.The head of government is nominated by the lower house of parliament.Following the Irish War of Independence and the subsequent Anglo-Irish Treaty,Ireland gained independence from the United Kingdom in1922.Initially a dominion,Ireland received official British recognition of full legislative independence in the Statute of Westminster of1931.A new constitution was adopted in1937,by which the name of the state became“Ireland.”In1949,Ireland was declared a republic under the Republic of Ireland act 1948.Ireland ranks among the wealthiest countries in the world in terms of GDP per capita.In1973,Ireland enacted a series of liberal economic policies that resulted in rapid economic growth,coupled with a dramatic rise in inequality.The country achieved considerable prosperity from1995to2007.This was halted by an unprecedented financial crisis that began in2008,in conjunction with the concurrent global economic crash.In2011and2013Ireland was ranked as the seventh-most developed country in the world by the United Nations Human Development Index.It also performs well in several metrics of national performance,including freedom of the press,economic freedom and civil liberties.It pursues a policy of neutrality through non-alignment.The population of Ireland stood at4,588,252in2011,an increase of8.2percent since2006.As of2011, Ireland had the highest birth rate in the European Union(16births per1,000of population).In2012,35.1percent of births were to unmarried women.Annual population growth rates exceeded2percent during the2002-2006 period,which was attributed to high rates of natural increase and immigration.This rate declined somewhat during the subsequent2006-2011period,with an average growth rate of1.6percent.Ireland ranks fifth in the world in terms of gender equality.In2011,Ireland was ranked the most charitable country in Europe,and second most charitable in the world.Contraception was controlled in Ireland until1979, however,the receding influence of the Catholic Church has led to an increasingly secularized society.In1983, the Eighth Amendment recognized“the right to life of the unborn”,subject to qualifications concerning the“equal right to life”of the mother.The passage of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments guarantees the right to have an abortion performed abroad,and the right to learn about“services”that are illegal in Ireland,but legal abroad.The prohibition on divorce in the1937Constitution was repealed in1995under the Fifteenth Amendment. Divorce rates in Ireland are very low compared to European Union averages while the marriage rate in Ireland is slightly above the European Union average.Capital punishment is constitutionally banned in Ireland,while discrimination based on age,gender,sexual orientation,marital or familial status,religion and race is illegal.Ireland became the first country in the world to introduce an environmental levy for plastic shopping bags in2002and a public smoking ban in2004.Recycling in Ireland is carried out extensively and Ireland has the second highest rate of packaging recycling in the European Union.Section2:Chinese-English Translation(50points)Translate the following passage into English.冲突对抗，是构建中美新型大国关系的必要前提。

2016年11月全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试英语三级《笔译实务》试卷Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points) Translate the following passage into Chinese.Harper Lee was an ordinary womanas stunned as anybody by the extraordinary success of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”“It was like being hit over thehead and kn ocked cold,” Lee — who died Friday at age89，saidduring a 1964 interview. “I didn’t expect the book to sell in the first place.I was hoping for a quick and merciful death at the hands of reviewers but atthe same time I sort of hoped that maybe someone would like it enough to giveme encouragement.”“To Kill a Mockingbird” may notbe the Great American Novel. But it’s likely the most universally known work offiction by an American author over the past 70 years. Lee was cited for hersubtle, graceful style and gift for explaining the world through a child’s eye,but the secret to the novel’s ongoing appeal was also in how many books thissingle book contained.“To Kill a Mockingbird” was a coming-of-age story, acourtroom thriller, a Southern novel, a period piece, a drama about class, and— of course — a drama of race.”All I want to be is the JaneAusten of South Alabama,” she once observed. The story of Lee is essentiallythe story of her book, and how she responded to it. She was a warm, vibrant andwitty woman who played golf, fished, ate at McDonald’s, fed ducks by tossingseed corn out of a Cool Whip tub, read voraciously, and got about to plays andconcerts. She just didn’t want to talk about it before an audience.“To Kill a Mockingbird” was aninstant and ongoing hit, published in 1960, as the civil rights movement wasaccelerating. It’s the story of a girl nicknamed Scout growing up in aDepression-era Southern town. A black man has been wrongly accused of raping awhite woman, and Scout’s fathe r, the resolute lawyer, defends him despitethreats and the scorn of many.Praised by The New Yorker as “skilled,unpretentious, and totally ingenious,” the bookwon the Pulitzer Prize and wasmade into a memorable movie in 1962.“Mockingbird” inspired ageneration of young lawyers and social workers, was assigned in high schoolsall over the country and was a popular choice for citywide, or nationwide,reading programs, although it was also occasionally removed from shelves forits racial content and references to rape.By 2015, sales topped 40 millioncopies.When the Library of Congress dida survey in 1991 on books that have affected people’s lives, “To Kill aMockingbird” was second only to the Bible.Lee herself became more elusive tothe public as her book became more famous. At first, she dutifully promoted herwork. She spoke frequently to the press, wrote about herself and gave speeches,once to a class of cadets at West Point.But she began declining interviews inthe mid-1960s and, until late in her life, firmly avoided making any publiccomment about her novel or her career.Her novel, while hugely popular,was not ranked by many scholars in the same category as the work of otherSouthern authors Decades after its publication, little was written about it inscholarly journals. Some critics have called the book naive and sentimental,whether dismissing the Ku Klux Klan as a minor nuisance in Maycomb oradvocating change through personal persuasion rather than collective action.Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (50 points) Translate the following passage into English.本公司是中国保利集团控股的大型国有房地产上市公司，国家一级房地产开发资质企业，连续五年荣膺中国房地产行业领导公司品牌。

2015 年 5 月全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试英语三级《笔译实务》试卷Section1For generations, coal has been the lifeblood of this mineral-rich stretch of eastern Utah. Mining families proudly recall all the years they toiled underground. Supply companies line the town streets. Above the road that winds toward the mines, a soot-smudged miner peers out from a billboard with the slogan “Coal = Jobs.”对这个地处犹他州东部、矿产丰富的地区而言，煤炭在过去几代人的眼里一直都是这个地区的生命线/经济命脉。

每当回忆起作为矿工在地下采煤的岁月时，每个家庭都会感到无比自豪。

大街的煤炭供应公司栉比鳞次/鳞次栉比。

在蜿蜒通向矿区的马路上方，可见一处广告牌，上面除了有句“煤炭=工作”的口号，还有位满身烟灰的矿工正凝视着前方。

But recently, fear has settled in. The state’s oldest coal-fired power plant, tucked among the canyons near town, is set to close, a result of new, stricter federal pollution regulations.但是最近，人们开始担忧起来。

由于新的联邦污染防治法规更加严格，位于县郊（译者注：根据本文倒数第二段该地区实为卡本县，这里的town 指的就是卡本县，所以此处译为县郊。

）峡谷之中的犹他州历史最久的燃煤电厂即将关闭。

2015年11月英语二级笔译真题及答案（笔译实务）Section 1：English-Chinese Translation （50 points）Translate the following two passages into Chinese.Passage 1Apple may well be the only tech company on the planet that would dare compare itself to Picasso.In a class at the company's internal University, the instructor likened the 11 lithographs that make up Picasso's The Bull to the way Apple builds its smartphones and other devices. The idea is that Apple designers strive for simplicity just as Picasso eliminated details to create a great work of art.Steven P Jobs established Apple University as a way to inculcate employees into Apple’s business culture and educate them about its history，particularly as the company grew and the tech business changed。

Courses are not required，only recommended, but getting new employees to enroll is rarely a problem。

2017年11月全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试英语三级《笔译实务》试卷Section1:English-Chinese Translation(50points)Translate the following passage into Chinese.It was just one word in one email,but it triggered huge financial losses for a multinational company.The message,written in English,was sent by a native speaker to a colleague for whom English was a second language.Unsure of the word,the recipient found two contradictory meanings in his dictionary.He acted on the wrong one.Months later,senior management investigated why the project had flopped,costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.“It all traced back to this one word,”says Chia Suan Chong,a UK-based communications skills and intercultural trainer,who didn't reveal the tricky word because it is highly industry-specific and possibly identifiable.“Things spiralled out of control because both parties were thinking the opposite.”When such misunderstandings happen,it’s usually the native speakers who are to blame.Ironically,they are worse at delivering their message than people who speak English as a second or third language,according to Chong.The non-native speakers,it turns out,speak more purposefully and carefully,typical of someone speaking a second or third language.Anglophones,on the other hand,often talk too fast for others to follow,and use jokes,slang and references specific to their own culture,says Chong.“The native English speaker is the only one who might not feel the need to accommodate or adapt to the others,”she adds.Non-native speakers generally use more limited vocabulary and simpler expressions,without flowery language or slang.And then there’s cultural style,Zurich-based Michael Blattner says.When a Brit reacts to a proposal by saying“That’s interesting”,a fellow Brit might recognise this as understatement for,“That’s rubbish.”But other nationalities would take the word“interesting”on face value,he says.In Berlin,Dale Coulter,head of English at one language course provider,saw German staff of a Fortune 500company being briefed from their Californian HQ via video link.Despite being competent in English,the Germans gleaned only the gist of what their American project leader said.So among themselves they came up with an agreed version,which might or might not have been what was intended by the California staff.It’s the native speaker who often risks missing out on closing a deal,warns Frenchman Jean-Paul Nerriere, formerly a senior international marketing executive at IBM.“Too many non-Anglophones,especially the Asians and the French,are too concerned about not‘losing face’—and nod approvingly while not getting the message at all,”he says.“When trying to communicate in English with a group of people with varying levels of fluency,it’s important to be receptive and adaptable,tuning your ears into a whole range of different ways of using English”, says Jenkins,professor of global Englishes at the UK’s University of Southampton.“People who’ve learned other languages are good at doing that,but native speakers of English generally are monolingual and not very good at tuning in to language variation,”she says.In meetings,Anglophones tend to speed along at what they consider a normal pace,and also rush to fill gaps in conversation,according to Rob Steggles,senior marketing director for Europe at a telecommunicationscompany.He recommends making the same point in a couple of different ways and asking for some acknowledg-ement,reaction or action.Section2:Chinese-English Translation(50points)Translate the following passage into English.气候变化已不是单纯的环境保护问题，而成为人类生存与发展问题。
