Each one is followed by several questions about it. You are to choose ONE best answer, (A), (B), (C) or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Questions 1—5Anyone who doubts that children are born with a healthy amount of ambition need spend only a few minutes with a baby eagerly learning to walk or a headstrong toddler starting to talk. No matter how many times the little ones stumble in their initial efforts, most keep on trying, determined to master their amazing new skill. It is only several years later, around the start of middle or junior high school, many psychologists and teachers agree, that a good number of kids seem to lose their natural drive to succeed and end up joining the ranks of underachievers. For the parents of such kids, whose own ambition is often inextricably tied to their children’s success, it can be a bewildering, painful experience. So it’s no wonder some parent s find themselves hoping that, just maybe, ambition can be taught like any other subject at school.It’s not quite that simple. “Kids can be given the opportunities to become passionate about a subject or activity, but they can’t be forced,〞says Jacquelynne Eccles, a psychology professor at the University of Michigan, who led a landmark, 25-year study examining what motivatedfirst-and seventh-grades in three school districts. Even so, a growing number of educators and psychologists do believe it is poss ible to unearth ambition in students who don’t seem to have much. They say that by instilling confidence, encouraging some risk taking, being accepting of failure and expanding the areas in which children may be successful, both parents and teachers can reignite that innate desire to achieve.Figuring out why the fire went out is the first step. Assuming that a kid doesn’t suffer from an emotional or learning disability, or isn’t involved in some family crisis at home, many educators attribute a sudden lack of motivation to a fear of failure or peer pressure that conveys the message that doing well academically somehow isn’t cool. “Kids get so caught up in the moment-to-moment issue of will they look smart or dumb, and it blocks them from thinking about the long term,〞says Carol Dweck, a psychology professor at Stanford. “You have to teach them that they are in charge of their intellectual growth.〞Over the past couple of years, Dweck has helped run an experimental workshop with New York City public school seventh-graders to do just that. Dubbed Brainology, the unorthodox approach uses basic neuroscience to teach kids how the brain works and how it can continue to develop throughout life. “The message is that everything is within the kids’ control, that the ir intelligence is malleable,〞says Lisa Blackwell, a research scientist at ColumbiaUniversity who has worked with Dweck to develop and run the program, which has helped increase the students’ interest in school and turned around their declining math grade s. More than any teacher or workshop, Blackwell says, “parents can play a critical role in conveying this message to their children by praising their effort, strategy and progress rather than emphasizing their ‘smartness’ or praising high performance alone. Most of all, parents should let their kids know that mistakes are a part of learning.〞Some experts say our education system, with its strong emphasis on testing and rigid separation of students into different levels of ability, also bears blame for the disappearance of drive in some kids. “These programs shut down the motivation of all kids who aren’t considered gifted and talented. They destroy their confidence,〞says Jeff Howard, a social psychologist and president of the Efficacy Institute, a Boston-area organization that works with teachers and parents in school districts around the country to help improve children’s academic performance. Howard and other educators say it’s important to expose kids to a world beyond homework and tests, through volun teer work, sports, hobbies and other extracurricular activities. “The crux of the issueis that many students experience education as irrelevant to their life goals and ambitions,〞says Michael Nakkual, a Harvard education professor who runs a Boston-area mentoring program called Project IF (Inventing the Future), which works to get low-income underachievers in touch with their aspirations. The key to getting kids to aim higher at school is to disabuse them of the notion that classwork is irrelevant, to show them how doing well at school can actually help them fulfill their dreams beyond it. Like any ambitious toddler, they need to understand that you have to learn to walk before you can run.1. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?(A) Children are born with a kind of healthy ambition.(B) How a baby learns to walk and talk.(C) Ambition can be taught like other subjects at school.(D) Some teenage children lose their drive to succeed.2. According to some educators and psychologists, all of the following would be helpful to cultivate students’ ambition to succeed EXCEPT ________.(A) stimulating them to build up self-confidence(B) cultivating the attitude of risk taking(C) enlarging the areas for children to succeed(D) making them understand their family crisis3. What is the message that peer pressure conveys to children?(A) A sudden lack of motivation is attributed to the student’s failure.(B) Book knowledge is not as important as practical experience.(C) Looking smart is more important for young people at school.(D) To achieve academic excellence should not be treated as the top priority.4. The word “malleable〞in the clause “that their intelligence is malleable,〞(para.3) most probably means capable of being ________.(A) altered and developed(B) blocked and impaired(C) sharpened and advanced(D) replaced and transplanted5. The expression “to disabuse them of the notion〞(para.4) can be paraphrased as________.(A) to free them of the idea(B) to help them understand the idea(C) to imbue them with the notion(D) to inform them of the concept Questions 6—10Civil-liberties advocates reeling from the recent revelations on surveillance had something else to worry about last week: the privacy of the billions of search queries made on sites like Google, AOL, Yahoo and Microsoft. As part of a long-running court case, the government has asked those companies to turn over information on its users’ search behavior. Al l but Google have handed over data, and now the Department of Justice has moved to compel the search giant to turn over the goods.What makes this case different is that the intended use of the information is not related to national security, but the gov ernment’s continuing attempt to police Internet pornography. In 1998, Congress passed the Child Online Protection Act (COPA), but courts have blocked its implementation due to First Amendment concerns. In its appeal, the DOJ wants to prove how easy it is to inadvertently stumble upon pore. In order to conduct a controlled experiment—to be performed by a UC Berkeley professor of statistics—the DOJ wants to use a large sample of actual search terms from the different search engines. It would then use those terms to do its own searches, employing the different kinds of filters each search engine offers, in an attempt to quantify how often “material that is harmful to minors〞might appear. Google contends that since it is not a party to the case, the government has not right to demand its proprietary information to perform its test. “We intend to resist their motion vigorously,〞said Google attorney Nicole Wong.DOJ spokesperson Charles Miller says that the government is requesting only the actual search terms, and not anything that would link the queries to those who made them. (The DOJ is also demanding a list of a million Web sites that Google indexes to determine the degree to which objectionable sites are searched.) Originally, the government asked for a treasure trove of all searches made in June and July 2005; the request has been scaled back to one week’s worth of search queries.One oddity about the DOJ’s strategy is that the experiment could conceivably sink its own case. If the built-in filters that each search engine provides are effective in blocking porn sites, the government will have wound up proving what the opposition has said all along—you don’t needto suppress speech to protect minors on the Net. “We think that our filtering technology does a good job protecting minors from inadvertently seeing adult content,〞says Ramez Naam, group program manager of MSN Search.Though the government intends to use these data specifically for its COPA-related test, it’s possible that the information could lead to further investigations and, perhaps, subpoenas to find out who was doing the searching. What if certain search terms indicated that people were contemplating terrorist actions or other criminal activities? Says the DOJ’s Miller, “I’m assuming that if something raised alarms, we would hand it over to the proper authorities.〞Privacy advocates fear that if the government request is upheld, it will open the door to further government examination of search behavior. One solution would be for Google to stop storing the information, but the company hopes to eventually use the personal information of consenting customers to improve search performance. “Search is a window into people’s personalities,〞says Kurt Opsahl, an Electronic Frontier Foundation attor ney. “They should be able to take advantage of the Internet without worrying about Big Brother looking over their shoulders.〞6. When the American government asked Google, AOL, Yahoo and Microsoft to turn over information on its users’ search behavior, t he major intention is _________.(A) to protect national security(B) to help protect personal freedom(C) to monitor Internet pornography(D) to implement the Child Online Protection Act7. Google refused to turn over “its proprietary informatio n〞(para.2) required by DOJ as it believes that ________.(A) it is not involved in the court case(B) users’ privacy is most important(C) the government has violated the First Amendment(D) search terms is the company’s business secret8. The ph rase “scaled back to〞in the sentence “the request has been scaled back to one week’s worth of search queries〞(para.3) can be replaced by _________.(A) maximized to(B) minimized to(C) returned to(D) reduced to9. In the sentence “One oddity about the DOJ’s strategy is that the experiment could conceivably sink its own case.〞(para.4), the expression “sink its own case〞most probably means that _________.(A) counterattack the opposition(B) lead to blocking of porn sites(C) provide evidence to disprove the case(D) give full ground to support the case10. When Kurt Opsahl says that “They should be able to take advantage of the Internet without worrying about Big Brother looking over their shoulders.〞(para.5), the expression “Big Brother〞is used to refer to _________.(A) a friend or relative showing much concern(B) a colleague who is much more experienced(C) a dominating and all-powerful ruling power(D) a benevolent and democratic organizationQuestions 11—15On New Year’s Day, 50,000 inmates in Kenyan jails went without lunch. This was not some mass hunger strike to highlight poor living conditions. It was an extraordinary humanitarian gesture: the money that would have been spent on their lunches went to the charity Food Aid to help feed an estimated 3.5 million Kenyans who, because of a severe drought, are threatened with starvation. The drought is big news in Africa, affecting huge areas of east Africa and the Horn. If you are reading this in the west, however, you may not be aware of it—the media is not interested in old stories. Even if you do know about the drought, you may not be aware that it is devastating one group of people disproportionately: the pastoralists. There are 20 million nomadic orsemi-nomadic herders in this region, and they are fast becoming some of the poorest people in the continent. Their plight encapsulates Africa’s perennial problem with drought and famine.How so? It comes down to the reluctance of governments, aid agencies and foreign lenders to support the herders’ traditional way of life. Instead they have tended to try to turn them into commercial ranchers or agriculturalists, even though it has been demonstrated time and again that pastoralists are well adapted to their harsh environments, and that moving livestock according to the seasons or climatic changes makes their methods far more viable than agriculture insub-Saharan drylands.Furthermore, African pastoralist systems are often more productive, in terms of protein and cash per hectare, than Australian, American and other African ranches in similar climaticconditions. They make a substantial contribution to their countries’ national economies. In Kenya, for example, the turnover of the pastoralist sector is worth $800 million per year. In countries such as Burkina Faso, Eritrea and Ethiopia, hides from pastoralists’ herds make up over 10 per cent of export earnings. Despite this productivity, pastoralists still starve and their animals perish when drought hits. One reason is that only a trickle of the profits goes to the herders themselves; the lion’s share is pocketed by traders. This is partly because the herders only sell much of their stock during times of drought and famine, when they need the cash to buy food, and the terms of trade in this situation never work in their favour. Another reason is the lack of investment in herding areas.Funding bodies such as the World Bank and-USAID tried to address some of the problems in the 1960s, investing millions of dollars in commerci al beef and dairy production. It didn’t work. Firstly, no one bothered to consult the pastoralists about what they wanted. Secondly, rearing livestock took precedence over human progress. The policies and strategies of international development agencies more or less mirrored the thinking of their colonial predecessors. They were based on two false assumptions: that pastoralism is primitive and inefficient, which led to numerous failed schemes aimed at converting herders to modern ranching models; and thatA frica’s drylands can support commercial ranching. They cannot. Most of Africa’s herders live in areas with unpredictable weather systems that are totally unsuited to commercial ranching.What the pastoralists need is support for their traditional lifestyle. Over the past few years, funders and policy-makers have been starting to get the message. One example is intervention by governments to ensure that pastoralists get fair prices for their cattle when they sell them in times of drought, so that they can afford to buy fodder for their remaining livestock and cereals to keep themselves and their families alive (the problem in African famines is not so much a lack of food as a lack of money to buy it). Another example is a drought early-warning system run by the Kenyan government and the World Bank that has helped avert livestock deaths.This is all promising, but more needs to be done. Some African governments still favour forcing pastoralists to settle. They should heed the latest scientific research demonstrating the productivity of traditional cattle-herding. Ultimately, sustainable rural development in pastoralist areas will depend on increasing trade, so one thing going for them is the growing demand for livestock products: there will likely be an additional 2 billion consumers worldwide by 2020, the vast majority in developing countries. To ensure that pastoralists benefit, it will be crucial to give them a greater say in local policies. Other key tasks include giving a greater say to women, who play critical roles in livestock production. The rich world should pay proper attention to the plight of the pastoralists. Leaving them dependent on foreign food aid is unsustainable and will lead to more resentment, conflict, environmental degradation and malnu trition. It is in the rich world’s interests to help out.11. Which of the following CANNOT be concluded from the passage?(A) Forcing Africa’s nomadic herders to become ranchers will save them from drought.(B) The difference between pastoralist and agriculturalist is vital to the African people.(C) The rich world should give more support to the African people to overcome drought.(D) Environmental degradation should be the major concern in developing Africa’s pastoralism.12. The word “encaps ulates〞in the sentence “Their plight encapsulates Africa’s perennial problem with drought and famine.〞(para. l) can be replaced by ________.(A) concludes.(B) involves.(C) represents.(D) aggravates.13. What is the author’s attitude toward A frican drought and traditional lifestyle of pastoralism?(A) Neutral and indifferent.(B) Sympathetic and understanding.(C) Critical and vehement.(D) Subjective and fatalistic.14. When the author writes “the policies and strategies of internat ional development agencies more or less mirrored the thinking of their colonial predecessors.〞(para.4), he implies all the following EXCEPT that the aid agencies did not __________.(A) have an objective view of the situation in Africa(B) understand the unpredictable weather systems there(C) feel themselves superior in decision making(D) care about the development of the local people15. The author’s main purpose in writing this article in _________.(A) to evaluate the living conditions of Kenyan pastoralists(B) to give suggestions on the support of the traditional pastoralism in Africa(C) to illustrate the difference between commercial ranching and pastoralism(D) to criticize the colonial thinking of western aid agencies Questions 16—20The prospects for finding life beyond Earth may be brightening. Today, scientists are reporting evidence for yet another potential habitat in our solar system: Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Scientists mining new data from the Cassini spacecraft say they may have found evidence that Enceladus—the planet’s fourth-largest moon—hosts liquid water.If the results hold up, this would bring to four the number of bodies in the solar system—including Earth—that display active volcanism. And since life as biologists know it requires liquid water and a source of energy, Enceladus would join Jupiter’s moon Europa and Saturn’s moon Titan, as well as Mars, as possible spots beyond Earth where simple forms of life may have gained or still maintain a foothold.The di scovery, however, is bittersweet for many scientists. NASA’s proposed budget for fiscal 2007 calls for a 50 percent cut in its astrobiology program. Although the program is a tiny piece of the agency’s overall spending plan for science, it’s a significant source of money for probing fundamental questions of how and why life emerged on Earth and whether life arose elsewhere in the universe.A 50-percent cut “is almost a going-out-of-business-level cut〞in a vibrant line of research that stands as one pilla r supporting President Bush’s vision for space exploration, says planetary scientist Sean Solomon, who heads the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism at the Carnegie Institution of Washington.Nevertheless, the research in today’s issue of the journal Sci ence is the sort of thing that continues to light a fire under the field. Its report about liquid water under the icy surface of Enceladus is a “radical conclusion,〞acknowledges Carolyn Porco, who leads the imaging team working with data from the Cassini orbiter. But if the team is right, “we have significantly broadened the diversity of solar-system environments〞that might have rolled out the welcome mat “for living organisms,〞she concludes.Images released last fall show the moon ejecting vast plumes of material near its unexpectedly warm south pole. As the team pondered the evidence, they nixed several explanations, including the idea that the particles in the plumes were driven by vapor billowing out as ice reached the surface and immediately turned into a gas. The last idea standing: Liquid water was venting from reservoirs near the surface, perhaps only tens of meters below the frigid crust. This explanation also helped solve the riddle of puzzlingly high levels of oxygen atoms found in Saturn’s ne ighborhood.Confirmation could come with additional flybys, if water—and perhaps life—is present, it wouldn’t be “luxuriant,〞notes Jeffrey Kargel, a researcher at the University of Arizona at Tucson. It likely would face tough conditions—nasty chemicals, very low temperatures, and little energy to drive it. Still, he adds, it’s premature to cross the moon off the list of possible “outposts〞for life beyond Earth. Yet the prospect of building on these results could be dimmer with the threat of budget cuts. The proposed reductions post several challenges, researchers say.。

8 25Feeling tired? Under too much stress, well, you may want to try yoga. it’s what more and more people have been turning to to ease the trouble of modern life, practically unheard of in the west until 50 years ago, yoga has become one of the most popular heath trend around. Yoga schools are having difficulty keeping up with the demand, most of the so-called yogis seems to focus on figure correction not true awareness. They make statements about yoga about yoga being for the body, mind and soul, but this is just semantics.If one practices yoga just for heath, he’d better take up walking, if one needs to cure a disease, see a doctor. Yoga is not a therapy, nor is it a philosophy, yoga is about inside awareness, it is the process of union of the self with the whole. Some scientists research mainly external phenomena. Yoga practitioners focus on the inside, they know that the external world is illusionary and everything inside is true. It’s essentially to train our bodies to find the most comfortable pose that we can sit in for hours.When it was created more than half a century ago , in the convulsive aftermath of world war two, the United Nations reflected the humanity’s greatest hopes for a just and peaceful global community. It still embodies that dream. The United Nations plays an important role in creating and sustaining the global rules without which the modern societies simply could not function. The World Heath Organization, for example set quality criteria for the pharmaceutic industry worldwide.The world meteorological office collects weather data from individual state and re-distribute it, which in turn improves global weather forecasting. The world intellectual property organization protects trade marks and pets outside their country of origin. The UN statistic commission helps secure uniformity in accounting standards, it is impossible to imagine our globalized world without the principals and practices of multilateralism to underpin it.。

2011年3月上海市高级口译第二阶段口试真题试卷(精选)(题后含答案及解析)题型有: 2. 口译题口译题Part A Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in English. After you have heard each paragraph, interpret it into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal.., and stop it at the signal...You may take notes while you are listening. Remember you will hear the passages ONLY ONCE. Now let us begin Part A with the first passage.听力原文:Feeling tired? Under too much stress? WelI,you may want to try yoga.It’s what more and more people have been turning to ease the troubles of modern life.Practically unheard of in the West until 50 years ago,yoga has become one of the most popular health trends around.Yoga schools are having difficulty keeping up with the demand.Most of the so-called yogis seem to focus on figure correction,not true awareness.They make statements about yoga being for the body,mind and soul.But this is just semantics.If one practices yoga just for health,he’d better take up walking.If one needs to cure a disease,see a doctor.Yoga is not a therapy.Nor is it a philosophy.Yoga is about inside awareness.It is the process of union of the self with the whole.Some scientists research mainly external phenomena.Yoga practitioners focus on the inside.They know that the external world is illusionary and everything inside is truth.It is essentially to train our bodies to find the most comfortable pose that we can sit in for hours.1.Passage 1正确答案:累了吗?压力太大吗?那么,你可以试试瑜珈。

Harrison Ford is thought to be one of the few movie stars ______ as a carpenterbefore.A. to workB. to be workingC. to have workedD. to have been workingSection BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each wordIn a study of the university of Minnesota, twins (some raised together and others who had grown up apart) were tested for a wide range of personality traits(特征). In terms of happiness-41 as the ability to enjoy life-twins who are separated soon after birth were much less alike than twins raised together. But when it comes to unhappiness, the twins raised apart-some without contact for as long as 64 years-were as 42 as those who had grown up together.Why is unhappiness less influenced by 43 ? When we are happy, we are more responsive to people and keep up 44 better than when we are feeling sad.This doesn’t mean, however, that some people are born to be sad and that’s that. Unhappiness may be related to genes, but this inherited trait can be influenced by45 choice. You can increase your happiness through your own actions.In a whole 46 of experiments by psychologists John Reich and Alex Zautra at Arizona State University, they asked students to select their favourite activities from a list of everyday pleasures-things like going to a movie, talking with friends and playing cards.Then the researchers 47 some of the students in the experiment to increase the number of favourite activities the participated in for one month (the participants in the study 48 as controls(对照组) and did not vary their activity level). Result: Those who did more of the things they enjoyed were happier than those who didn’t. The conclusion, then, is that the pleasure we get from life is 49 ours to control.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Is there a job for you after college? What does the world of work keep in store for you? That 50 in large measure on who you are.If you’ve enjoyed your studies in English and history, 50 , you’ll be glad to know that in a recent survey by Hobart and William Smith Colleges in New York State, a majority of CEOs said that the liberal arts(文科)are essential for 52 critical thinking and problem-solving skills. If you thought college was for acquiring specific work skills, only 37 percent of the CEOs in the survey agree with you.If you plan to start your career as a secretary, be aware that this job is undergoing tremendous 53 . In offices where secretaries have not already been eliminated, the 54 role of a clerk is now unrecognizable. Most bosses 55 their own mails and meetings and travel plans, thanks to e-mail and the Internet, so secretaries are 56 taking on higher-level tasks such as drafting contracts and handling customer service problems. Those willing to expand their 57 should do well.If you are a woman interested in law enforcement(执法), note that some states and cities are working hard to reach 58 standards for female applicants. Although most small suburban police departments are deeply traditional, and some are 59 even to employ woman, among the nation’s largest forces about 15 percent of the officers are female, five times as many as a generation ago.Degrees in sports management are also 60 . Two hundred U.S colleges and universities, 10 times as many in 1985, now 61 undergraduate courses in sports management, and some have advanced degree programs. At some school you can also上海市教育考试院保留版权英语2011 春第5页(共13页)combine an MBA in sports management with a law degree.62 , if you’ve set your sights on a traditional MBA, take heart. MBA recruitment (招聘)is way up, and salaries are 63 . But money isn’t all today’s MBAs are looking for.

Strictly63. A. competitive B. moderate C. fixed D. regular64. A. give out B. agree with C. wonder about D. focus onSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)They like using the Internet. They have lots of pocket money to spend. And they spend a higher proportion of it online than the rest of us. Teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in, and the things they want to buy-games, CDs and clothing-are easily sold on the Web.But paying online is a tricky business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards. Most have to use a parent’s card. They want a facility that allows them to spend money.That may come sooner than they think: new ways to take pocket money into cyber (网络的) space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. If successful, theseproducts can stimulate online sales.In general, teenagers spend huge amounts: $153bn (billion) in the US last year and £20bn annually in the UK. Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school-88 percent in the US, 69 percent in the UK. According to the Jupiter Research, one in eight of those with Internet access has bought something online-mainly CDs and books.In most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children. Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing on the high street. They are more likely to ask “Why?” if you ask to spend some money online.One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cybercash is through prepaid cards such as InternetCash in the US and Smart cards in the UK. Similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones, they are sold in amounts such as £20 or $50 with a concealed 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.65. What does the word “They” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Sellers.B. Buyers.C. Teenagers.D. Parents.66. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. More than half of the teenagers in the US and the UK have Internet access.B. Teenagers pay for goods online with their own credit cards.C. Most teenagers in the US and the UK have bought something online.D. Teenagers found it easier to persuade parents to buy online than in a shop.67. A new way to help teenagers shop online is to use ______.A. a new machineB. special coins and notesC. prepaid cardsD. pay-as-you-go mobile phones68. What is the passage mainly about?A. Online shopping traps.B. Internet users in the US and the UK.C. New credit cards for parents.D. The arrival of cyber pocket money.上海市教育考试院保留版权英语2011 春第7页(共13页)69. This passage is most probably ______.A. an advertisement for enrolling new employeesB. a school report at the end of an academic yearC. a self-introduction meant to apply for a jobD. a part of a recommendation letter from a university70. According to the “Experience” section, we can infer that Donald Sloan can be _____.A. a wise leaderB. a skillful performerC. a gifted scientistD. a good social worker71. From the passage we can learn that Donald Sloan ______.A. is good at singing and dancingB. is about to graduate from a universityC. has an interest in being a surgeonD. specializes in psychology(C)Twenty-first century humanity has mapped oceans and mountains, visited the moon, and surveyed the planets. But for all the progress, people still don’t know one another very well.That brings about Theodore Zeldin’s “feast of conversation”-events where individuals pair with persons they don’t know for three hours of guided talk designed to get the past “Where are you from?”Mr. Zeldin, an Oxford University professor, heads Oxford Muse, a 10-year-old foundation based on the idea that what people need is not more information, but more inspiration and encouragement.The “feast” in London looks not at politics or events, but at how people have felt about work, relations among the sexes, hopes and fears, enemies and authority, the shape of their lives. The “menu of conversation” includes topics like “How have your priorities changed over the years?” Or, “What have you rebelled against the past?”As participants gathered, Zeldin opened with a speech: that despite instant communications in a globalized age, issues of human heart remain. Many people are lonely, or in routines that discourage knowing the depth of one another. “We are trapped in shallow conversations and the whole point now is to think, which is sometimes painful,” he says. “But thinking interaction is what separates us from other species, except maybe dogs…who do have generations of human interactions.”The main rules of the “feast”: Don’t pair with someone you know or ask questions you would not answer. The only awkward moment came when the multi-racial crowd of young adults to seniors, in sun hats, ties and dresses, looked to see whom with for hours. But 15 minutes later, everyone was seated and talking, continuing full force until organizers interrupted them 180 minutes later.“It’s encouraging to see the world is not just a place of oppression and distance from each other,” Zeldin summed up. “What we did is not ordinary, but it can’t be madder than the world already is.”Some said they felt “liberated”to talk on sensitive topics. Thirty-something Peter, from East London, said that “it might take weeks or months to get to the level of interaction we suddenly opened up.”72. What can the “conversations” be best described as?A. Deep and one-on-one.B. Sensitive and mad.C. Instant and inspiring.D. Ordinary and encouraging.73. In a “feast of conversations”, participants ______.A. pair freely with anyone they likeB. have a guided talk for a set of period of timeC. ask questions they themselves would not answerD. wear clothes reflecting multi-racial features.上海市教育考试院保留版权英语2011 春第9页(共13页)74. In paragraph 6, “they would be ‘intimate’” is closest in meaning to “______”.A. they would have physical contactB. they would have in-depth talkC. they would be close friendsD. they would exchange basic information75. From the passage, we can conclude that what Zeldin does is ______.A. an attempt to promote thinking interactionB. one of the maddest activities ever conductedC. a try to liberate people from old-fashioned ideasD. an effort to give people a chance of talking freelySection CDirections:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for76.Newholt. She is also a lecturer at the University and a writer for the monthly magazine77.users follow instructions. Young children have a tendency to swallow toothpaste, which is why they should only have a tiny amount of fluoride toothpaste on their toothbrush. If this simple measure is taken, parents can be confident that children will be protected against78.Almost all medicines have an adverse effect-or even be deadly-if they are not taken as directed. So you are right-fluoride can be poisonous if it is swallowed in very large quantities. It is for the reason that fluoride supplements can only be obtained on prescription from the doctor or dentist. Please be assured that fluoride overdoses are rare -in fact, I have never heard of any fatal incidents related to fluoride poisoning.79.Scientific studies have shown that fluoride can help to prevent cavities as long as it is used correctly. If fluoride is abused, there is a risk of illness or even deaths in extremecases. If a deadly amount of fluoride is taken, immediate first-aid could save a life. A person who has swallowed a large amount of fluoride will probably start vomiting. If not, the patient should be given milk or antacid and taken to the nearest hospital for80.Taking too much fluoride while teeth are growing can lead to a condition called dental fluorosis. The most likely cause is the swallowing of fluoride toothpastes by young children. It can also be caused by inappropriate use of fluoride drop or other fluoride supplements, for example when fluoride is already is already present in drinking water.Section DDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Most people look forward to retirement as a time when they can finally take up activities that they never had the time or energy to pursue before. But some recent studies on people in their golden years are disturbing: they suggest that retirees are more likely to suffer from depression and possibly higher rates of other diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure. That’s why a new study of French workers is welcome news.Led by Hugo Westerlund, a professor of psychology at Stockholm University, the study of more than 14,000 workers found lower rates of depression and fatigue(疲劳) in people after they got tired while they were still employed.The scientists followed the employees of the French national gas and electric company for 14 years. They found in the year immediately after retirement, the volunteers reported 40% fewer depressive symptoms than they had in the year before their retirement. The researchers also found an 81% drop in reports of both mental and physical fatigue over the same time period.Clearly, said Westerlund, much of these decrease in physical and mental fatigue can be traced back to relief from the stresses of work. The decline in depressive symptoms suggests that retirement may be having a positive mental effect, too, which may have a lot to do with the generous pensions(养老金) that French workers enjoy. Most retirees in that country still benefit from about 80% of their yearly salaries.“The economic or financial situation in retirement is very important,”Westerlund says. “We don’t know if the decrease in fatigue and depressive symptoms is because of the removal of something bad while in work or the addition of something good while in retirement. But no matter the reason, if life in retirement is not comfortable, then we won’t see the improvements we did.”However, in European nations like France, governments are considering changes to pension plans, which may affect retirees’ health after they leave their jobs-with less of a上海市教育考试院保留版权英语2011 春第11页(共13页)financial safety net, workers may no longer seem so mentally and physically happy to be out of work.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)81.

口译内部真题、考官点评及权威参考答案2011年下半年口译内部真题、考官点评及权威参考答案2011年下半年高级口译资格证书第二阶段考试已落下帷幕,回顾今年试题及考生情况,有几点体会与考生分享,供今后复习备考参考。
1)重视教材,领会透彻,训练扎实。
充分利用高口教程,熟悉教程内容。
和历年一样,今年第二阶段的试题均涉及高级口译资格证书口译教材内容,分别为第12课的中国发展(英译中)和第9课的文化交流(中译英)。
这验证了一句话:如果觉得题目难,很大程度上是因为对它不熟悉。
如果没有事先看过口译书,将会很吃亏。
同时,练习时不能只看书,而应做到手,耳,口三者结合。
口译将听、写、说三方面结合起来,所以练习时一定要注重速记和口头翻译的锻炼。
在练习过程中,要有意识地将自己口译录下来,在回放过程中寻找自己的不足。
根据考生经验,这一点对备考很有帮助。
总之,妥善利用口译教程定将助力第二阶段考试。
试看以下四例,尤其关注划线部分常用结构、词汇以及相对应的表达,这些都是考生应试过程中或多或少出现问题的部分。
例1这个月中美两国的学生开展了为期半个月的“美中城市学生看中国”活动。
两国学生在河北八卦岭走访农家,参加农村社区服务活动,互相教授英语和汉语;在北京参观长城、故宫等景点,并就校园生活、升学、就业等主题进行交流。
这段考生总体表现较好,部分考生熟练度不够,语法小错误较多。
“开展”这类常规词考生应十分熟练并常备几个词替换,如:launch, conduct, carry out等;“为期”因与时间短语搭配常用作前置修饰语,建议使用如译文提供的简单表达方式,以节约时间。
专题活动、会议等名称英语惯用语多为名词或介词短语,极少出现动词结构或完整句形式,否则易出现语法错误。
除约定俗成的专有名称,其他地名一般按拼音译即可。
“就……问题/主题进行讨论/交换意见/交流”也是口译常用句型,须脱口而出,如:“hold talks / exchangeviews on issues concerning…/ on such issues as…”。
通用口译教程答案【篇一:口译经验】试篇笔试分section1、2两卷,都有听力、阅读、翻译三部分,但这三部分的难度很有挑战性,section 1的听力有spot dictation和听力选择题(这个不难),spot dictation只听一遍,每个空还要填至少三个单词,有时还是一整句话,这部分应该至少要拿到70%分数,每次做完后自己算分,一次一次加强,训练到最后这部分一定是你最强的,而且听写是开考第一部分,答的好也会给自己一个良好的心里暗示,越做越顺。
这部分写字速度一定要快,当然,笔记符号更重要。
有一点要注意,笔试与口试的笔记符号应该有一些不同,笔试dictation应该是主要复原单词,而口试时主要是复原意义。
这一点后面详述。
平时训练时一定要发明自己的符号,这要为口试打好基础,老师说,能过口试的人都有一个共同点,笔记清晰逻辑强,快速中英转换。
我自己就总结了许多单词的缩写,还在网上借鉴了很多,加起来也有几百个了,想要的童鞋可以跟我要啊。
s1的听力选择题相比就有点送分了,是我们从小学就做到大学的题型,其中有几道新闻听力要特别提醒下,倒金字塔结构第一句话是解题良方。
section1阅读文章都是直接选自英美刊物,如time、economist、guardian,比较不容易看懂),个人感觉是笔试最难的了。
平时训练时正确率还可以,我考试时错了一半,最重要的是这部分一共也就有35-40分左右的答题时间,要搞定4篇1000字左右的外刊原文,每篇5个题也就7分半钟,看懂都要耗很多时间,要做对真的很难。
不过要啃下这块硬骨头也不难的,我在复习的时候买了一本星火英语的专八阅读,因为那里面的题也是从外刊选的,还有翻译,感觉不错。
好像是一百篇吧,每天就按照高口时间要求做4篇。
积累了大量的词汇和英语原汁原味表达法,比单背单词收获大多啦,中口可以买本专四的阅读看看,总之,这部分不要太在意,我难人亦难,时间实在不够就蒙答案吧。
2011年3月13日昂立高级口译考试听力文本汇总听力上半场Spot dictationRenowned US economist John Rutledge, who helped frame the fiscal policies of two former US presidents, warned that an abrupt rise in China’s currency could lead to another Asian financial crisis. The founder of Rutledge Capital told the media that if the Yuan rises too fast and too high, it would discourage foreign direct investment in China, while encouraging currency manipulation by market speculators. Currency change is more difficult for investors and more exciting for speculators. The Chinese currency has appreciated by more than 5% since July 2005 when the country allowed the Yuan to float against the US dollar with a daily band of 0.3%. The analysts are expecting the currency to rise another 4% by the end of this year. But if the Yuan rose 20% to 30% as some US politicians are demanding, it would jeopardize the Chinese economy, causing a recession and deflation. Similar advice to allow an abrupt appreciation of a currency led to the Asian financial crisis in 1997, and came very close to destroying the Japanese economy. The US economist says that investors want foremost to avoid risks associated with large fluctuations in currency and inflation. They calculate returns on their investment after evaluating risks to benefits such as lower labor cost. A rising Yuan will drive up labor costs for foreign investors and would not result in higher wages for workers. Earlier reports said that currency speculators had pumped 200 billion US dollars into China by the end of last year with another 70 billion US dollars flowing into the economy in the first 3 months of this year. There’s no way to accurately track the flow of this type of investment, and many economists disagree that the amount of speculative cash is so high. Instead of further appreciating its currency, China should make the Yuan convertible to the US dollar. If the Yuan were more easily converted into foreign currencies, it would allow Chinese companies to expand overseas, facilitate the purchase of foreign technology, and provide management experience and capital that China needs. It would also shrink Forex reserves and reduce speculative money coming into the country.本篇SD属于经济话题,讨论了人民币的急速升值会给亚洲带来的结果。

Listening comprehensionQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following conversation.W: Hi, Robert, you are 20 now, right?M: Right.W: What do you think about what Nina said?M: I definitely agree that younger people are less intimiliated by technology. But when I compare myself with other people my age, I don't see myself particularly good with computers. Most of my friends are much better with computers than I am. But this summer, I worked in an office with lots of adults. And I realized that I'm a lot more comfortable with technology than they are.W: Do you use email a lot?M: Well, I do agree that letters make better keep-seeks. But email's just so much more convenient. For example, I'm away at college now, and I don't know how I could keep in touch with my high school friends without email. I like email because it's such a casual form. of communication. It's great for just saying "hello" and checking upon people. For more standard interaction, I still use the phone a lot; but for just telling people that you thought of them that day or that you miss them, email is great.W: How often would you say that you email people?M: Well, I check my email at least 5 times a day, I would have to admit. Actually, probably a bit more. I also have I AM, that is instant messaging, can figured so that it loads the program automatically whenever I turn on my computer. So I AM on that is as well. It definitely makes you spend more time on the computer than you meant to. Sometimes I just turn on my computer to check on one little thing. And all of a sudden, three people send me instant messages, and I talk to them for half an hour. But it's not a waste of time. Because I love to hear from my friends.W: So young people are better with computers than adults?M: I don't know if kids are really better at computers or just more used to them. Computers can definitely be an intimidating, especially when they go wrong. For people who are familiar with them, I think a typical response is to use them as little as possible. My dad is like that. But once you get over your initial fear of just fitteling around with them and texting things out. It becomes a lot more fun and it's really not difficult.M: What about your friends?M: Well, I guess my generation is hooked on the Internet. But people don't make it their whole life. It's just one other thing they like to do. It really opens up a lot of doors. The Internet, it makes a lot of things accessible. My college now is a pretty web-based school. At first, I was a little bit surprised, at how much the Internet was used. Like for example, all of my syllable for my classes are on line.W: Do you think the Internet has any disadvantages?M: Well, something that is bad about Internet is that not everyone has access to web. I feel like when my generation is grown up in part of the work force, computer skills are just going to be assumed. They want to be an added asset like I think as a ...so what will happen to the people in my generation who don't have these computer skills, you know? There're really going to be disadvantages. So I think the Internet could increase the disparities between different classes which is horrible or maybe technology just stimulates the existing disparities in a different way.I'm not sure, in my own life, though, I love having the Internet. I don't know what I do without it.Question1. Which of the following statements does Robert definitely agree with?Question2. Robert explains why he uses emails a lot, which of the following is not one of his reasons?Question 3. What makes Robert spend a lot of time on the computer?Question 4. What does Robert is bad about the Internet?Question 5. According to Robert, what will happen to people in his generation when they don't have these computer skills?高口第一篇文章主题为Computer and Internet. 难度中等,文章中虽然出现了一些难词,但是由于提出的5道问题比较简单,所以对考生并没有太大的挑战,考生只需在听力过程中,多加留意关键词即可。
