Mr. Posthorn was a busy man‘ he not only had his government job but also taught some Arab boys from a wealithy family who hoped eventually to go to an English university. He had agreed to ‗fit Felix in in his spare time‘, which meant that sometimes Felix went to Mr. Posthorn‘s office and was told to study this or that, and occasionally Mr. Posthorn managed to find a spare hour when he dropped in to Miss Bohun‘s and gave Felix some instruction. Most of Felix‘s day was spent in study in his bedroom. He knew he world got get far in this way and he knew also that Mr. Posthorn would have been willing to give him more attention had he, like Miss Bohun, not been disappointed in him. Miss Bohun did not say or do anything that gave Felix any clue as to how he had failed her, but Mr. Posthorn, after testing his knowledge, said without hesitation, ‗What on earth have you been doing with yourself since you left England?‘Felix explained that in Cairo he had taken lessons with an old English lady, an ex-governess to a royal family, who had taught him English composition, French, drawing, geography and history. Unfortunately she had known less Greek, Latin and mathematics than he had. His mother had treated lessons there as a joke, and said: ‗Never mind, darling, when we return to England we‘ll make up for lost time.‘‗Your parents ought to have been ashamed of themselves, keeping you away from school during the most important years of your life. I can‘t understand it,‘ said Mr. Postthorn. ‗Your father was an educated man, wasn‘t he? Felix explained: it wasn‘t my father‘s fault. Mother wouldn‘t let me go back to England when the war started. Father was angry, but Mother said: ―If he goes I may not see him again.‖Mr. Posthorn said: ‗You‘ll never make up for it,‘ but Felix, although he knew it to be a serious matter, could not really care.1. Miss Bohun had arranged for Felix ________ before he arrived.(A) to go to school in the Education Office(B) to have lessons with some Arab boys(C) to study at home every morning(D) to received private tuition2.

What did Mr. Posthorn think of Felix‘s education?(A) He thought his father had not encouraged him enough.(B) He was surprised that Felix had managed to learn anything at all.(C) He thought Felix had wasted a great deal of valuable time.(D) He believed that Felix could catch up with the other boys later.5. Why didn‘t Felix go back to England when the war started?(A) His parents wanted him to be with them.(B) His mother would not agree to his going.(C) His father intended to teach Felix himself.(D) He himself did not really want to go.Questions 6~10Many folk curse which have been around for centuries may be more therapeutic than previously suspected. A case in point is that of penicillin. Alexander Fleming did not just randomly choose cheese molds to study when he discovered its very important bacteria-killing substance. Moldy cheese was frequently given to patients as a remedy for illness at one time. Fleming just isolated what it was about the cheese which cured the patients.In parts of South America, a powder obtained from grinding sugar cane is used for haling infections in wounds and ulcers. This usage may date back to pre-Colombian times. Experiments carried out on several hundred patients indicate that ordinary sugar in high concentrations is lethal to bacteria. It s suction effect eliminates dead cells, and it generated a glasslike layer which protects the wound and ensures healing.Another example of folk medicine which scientists are investigating is that of Arab fishermen who rub their wounds with a venomous catfish to quicken healing. This catfish excretes a gellike slime which scientists have found to contain antibiotics, a coagulant that helps close injured blood vessels, anti-inflammatory agents, and a chemical that directs production of a gluelike material that aids healing.It is hope that by documenting these folk remedies and experimenting to see if results are indeed beneficial, an analysis of the substances can be made, and synthetic substances can be developed for human consumption.6. This passage is mainly about _______.(A) using folk medicine to replace modern medicine(B) antibiotics in the field of medicine(C) the effectiveness of folk remedies(D) isolating antibiotics in cheese, sugar, and slime7. The word ―therapeutic‖ in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.(A) physiological(B) medicinal(C) traditional(D) psychological8. It can be inferred from the passage that Alexander Fleming _______.(A) discovered moldy cheese(B) isolated infectious patients(C) suspected medicinal properties of molds(D) enjoyed eating different kinds of cheese9. The word ―eliminates‖ in paragraph 2 can be replaced by which of the following?(A) cleanses.(B) excretes.(C) disposes of.(D) kills off.10. We can learn from the passage that _______.(A) bacteria feed on sugar(B) sugar kills unhealthy cells(C) glass is formed from sugar(D) sugar promotes healingQuestions 11~15More tan a hundred years ago, before the Civil War, a crew of bronc-busting cowboys stood outside a large horse corral. With them was their boss Bradford Grimes, a cattleman who owned a large South Texas ranch near the Gulf of Mexico.Inside the corral was a herd of wild mustangs, horses that had never been ridden. They milled around, snorting and rearing.One of the bronc busters roped a strong stallion and held him to be saddled. Then another cowboy climbed up and tried to ride. At first the animal trotted nervously, humping a little and shying from side to side. Then it went off in high jumps, spinning and shaking and jolting its rider. Finally it put its head between its front legs, bucked high in the air, and threw the cowboy off into the dust.Just then Mrs. Grimes, the cattleman‘s wife, came to the ranch house door and cried out. ―Bradford! Bradford! Those Blacks are worth a thousand dollars apiece. One might get killed.‖The cowboys laughed, but they knew she was telling the truth. For they were all Black slaves. Bradford Grimes was their owner.Most of the first Black cowboys were slaves, brought by their masters from the old South. On the plantations in the South, the slaves cut cotton. On the ranches in Texas they had to learn a new trade—breaking horses and handling cattle. Some were taught by Mexican cowboys, some by Indians who knew the ways of horses and cattle.Grimes was only one of hundreds of slave-owning ranchers who ran cattle in Texas. The ranchers had brought their families and slaves from Mississippi, Georgia, and other southern states. They came on horseback, on foot, and in buggies and wagons. They drove hogs, oxen, and stock.Some ranchers settled near the Mexican bornder, but there they found that it was too easy for their slaves to escape. Even slaves as far north as Austin, the capital of Texas, came to think of Mexico as the promised land. As early as 1845, the year that Texas became a state, a Texas newspaper reported the escape of twenty-fie Blacks. ―They were mounted don some of the best horses that could be found,‖ the story said, ―and several of them were armed.‖ Thousands of other Black slaves escaped in the same way.Easy of the Nueces River, farther from the Mexican border, most slaves found it hard to escape. So there they stayed, learning to become cowboys in bleak, rough country and learning to chase wild cattle through heavy coastal brush.All-Black cattle crews were common throughout central and eastern Texas. There were even a few free blacks who owned ranches before the Civil War. Aaron Ashorth was one of them, and he owned 2,500 cattle, as well as some slaves of his own. He employed a white schoolmaster to tutor his children.Black cowboys helped to tame and settle a wild country.11. The word ―bronc-husting‖in the beginning sentence of the passage can be paraphrased as _______.(A) driving hogs(B) cutting cotton(C) breaking horses(D) handling cattle12. Most of the first Black slaves that became cowboys(A) had been brought to Texas by their owners from the old South(B) came on their own to look for the promised land(C) came from the ranches in Mexico looking fro work on Texas cattle ranches(D) had been employed by Bradford Grimes who owned a large South Texas ranch13. How did the Black slaves on the ranches in Texas differ from those on the plantations in the old South?(A) They cut cotton.(B) They escaped from slavery.(C) They took care of cattle.(D) They rode the best horses that could be found.14. What do you think slaves thought about living and working on ranches?(A) They liked it so much they were going to find others to bring back.(B) They were unhappy and wanted to run away.(C) They wanted to buy slaves and start ranches of their own.(D) They enjoyed their working and living conditions in the promised land.15. According to the passage, Blacks helped to _______.(A) tame the animals in Texas(B) solve living problems in Texas(C) conquer the US(D) settle the new territoryQuestions 16~20Film is a medium that might have been especially made for America, a vast country which, by the beginning of the twentieth century, had a large immigrant population, many of whom could hardly speak English. These people would have had little use for the theatre, even if the y lived within easy distance of one, or for most of the books they could buy because they did not have enough English. But the movies – the silent movies – these they could all understand, so hat America had more than any European country was a huge captive audience, a large proportion of them pretty ell uneducated. And what these people wanted were simple stories in which, irrespective of the fact they couldn‘t understand the captions, the action told all.In feeding the growing demand for screen entertainment, America was greatly helped by the First World War, Between 1914 and 1918 the making of films was not exactly high on the lit of any European country‘s priorities. Films continued to be made but not to the same extent as before, and to fill the gap in foreign imports, America had to increase its won production. By the end of the decade, with Hollywood now firmly established as the center of the industry, America a well on its way to monopolizing the world market.But if by the beginning of the 1920s America was the world leader in film production, it was not then—nor has it been since—in the lead hen it comes to developing film as an art form. Hollywood is not interested in art; it is interested in money and the two rarely go together. To Hollywood film is, and really always has been, an industry. There is nothing about this attitude that should make us look down on it. Hollywood quickly recognized film as an entertainment medium with a unique ability to put people onto seats and money in the pockets of producers, distributors and cinema managers and, mostly, left it to other to develop its potential a an art form.Generally speaking the efforts to extend the boundaries of film – to show that it could do more than car chases, romance and clowning – were being made elsewhere. In the 1920s in Germany, for example, expressionism was an artistic movement which used film as a medium. Expressionism is described in the Oxford Companion to Film as ―a movement whose main aim was to show in images man‘s inner world and in particular the emotions of fear, hatred, love and anxiety‖. These days, most serious – and sometimes not so serious – films attempt to do something like that as a matter of course.Meanwhile Russian film-makers were developing advanced techniques in editing and montage –using scenes to give background information, ideas and intellectual points. Hollywood was not slow to learn from its foreign competitors or to take on and adapt their ideas, but with regard to the style and content of film-making, it was and still is far more in the business of learning than of teaching.16. Why id the immigrants in America prefer cinema to other entertainment media?(A) They did not have theatres close enough to their homes.(B) They could not afford to buy books.(C) The movies were easier to understand.(D) The film captions were in simple English.17. What do we learn about the American film industry around 1920?(A) American art films were not as successful as those from other countries.(B) More films were made in America than anywhere else.(C) More American films catered fro the immigration population.(D) The Americans were the first to develop film as an art form.18. What does the author think about Hollywood as an industry?(A) He despises Hollywood‘s interest in making money.(B) He wishes Hollywood would make decent films.(C) He thinks Hollywood films are no better than European ones.(D) He sees nothing wrong with Hollywood‘s attitude.19. What do we learn about expressionism in film?(A) It has become a less serious element in films nowadays.(B) It is no longer limited to German films.(C) In the 1920s, most serious films were expressionist.(D) It was about trying to show strange emotions.20. How has Hollywood responded to its foreign competitors in film-making?(A) It has maintained a more businesslike attitude.(B) It has learned a lot from them about what to put in films.(C) It has responded quickly by copying foreign films.(D) It has tried to teach as much as it has learned.Question 21~25IN RECENT YEARS the basic market principles of competition and choice have expanded into new aspects of American life. Consumers now face a bewildering array of options for air travel phone service, medical care, even postal service. Car buyers can shop on the Internet for the best price at anydealership in their area. In some parts of the country, homeowners can purchase electricity from a menu of companies. All this choice translate into unprecedented consumer power.One of the persistent myths of capitalist culture is that business people love competition. They don ‘t. They spend their waking hours plotting ways to avoid it, and keep prices high. These days they use information technologies that give them intricate data on individual shoppers, and ten present multiple price to get each consumer to cough up the maximum he is willing to pay. The airlines have mastered this game, offering many levels of fares.So how can you make the most of your new power as a consumer? Here are rules to help you find your way.Never pay lit price.In the New Economy, competition is so strong that fewer stores and services are immune to pricing pressure, so sharpen your bargaining skills. Ask retailers to match prices you ‘ve seen on the Internet. Ask hotel clerks if there are better rates available. You ‘ll be surprised how often the answer is yes.Refuse gimmicks.As competition heats up and pushes prices down, businesses scramble to boost their profits by heaping on extras: rustproofing your car, service contracts on your appliances, prepaid gasoline for your rental car. These gimmicks are devised to make you pay more at the last minute and probably aren ‘t a good deal.Don ’t buy on impulse.The information highway is a two-way street. As a consumer, you can get more data. But while you are roaming the Web, businesses are studying your habits and vulnerabilities.Have a weakness for chocolates? Don ‘t be surprised if offers to sell you a box while you ‘re browsing for books. They ‘re using a wrinkle on the last-minute marketing pitch perfected by McDonald‘s : ―Would you like fries with that?‖ The ploy works remarkably well.Say no to platinum prices.Versioning is a tactic used by businesses to separate status-conscious consumers from the bargain-hungry ones —since the former mean bigger profit margins. ―Deluxe ‖ and ―platinum ‖ are code words used to entice status seekers to open their wallets.Add a third price level and the purses of even bargain-hungry shoppers can be pried open. Research shows that many consumers who might pick the lower-priced option hen given just two choices will choose the medium-priced alternative if given three. ―consumers try to avoid extreme options,‖ write Carl Shapiro and Hal R. Varian in their book Information Rules.1 2 3 4。

Or was that a dream then and is it still a dream now?I think it was an attainable dream, and it is becoming actually, in some ways, less attainable right now.You may ask why?Well, the dream to give credit where credit is due was not only advocated by some European officials but by some American economists, including our Institute’s director, Fred Bergsten, who was way out in the front with that. Richard Portes, who teaches at London Business School, also was way out in front with that. And they were very much against the tide of people like Martin Feldstein and others in London and the United States who were very skeptical towards the euro.At face value, the euro area is the same size in GDP as the United States, roughly speaking. The euro area does have very large and deep financial markets, although the more you look in detail, there are still some things there that differentiate it from the United States. And the euro area has delivered price stability. They have a very low rate of inflation pretty consistently. So you put those three things together, on paper it looks like the euro should be at least a very clear second to the dollar in investor’s portfolios, in government reserve holdings, in how much you invoice trade like oil or planes or things like that.But what our research finds in this book -- in particular in good chapters by Kristin Forbes and Linda Goldberg -- is the fact that if you look under the hood a bit, there is ahuge shortfall between what you would expect just based on size and how much the euro is used. So there’s an awful lot of trade that’s still invoiced in dollars, not in euros, even between countries that are not dollar countries. There are huge amounts of financial flows that come to the United States, and the depth of European assets and financial flows is not commensurate with the size.【解析】本文节选自Growing Pains for the Euro。

We’ve developed technology that gets us so much information that we’ve got cell phones ringing every second, we’ve got computers and laptops, we’ve got personal organizers and we’re just being bombarded with communication and every advance in technology seems to create more and more communications at us. We are sort of overwhelmed by the information flow.Research suggests that all the multi-tasking may actually make our brains work better and faster, producing a world-wide increase in IQ up to 20 points and more in recent decades. Is there any real benefit in all these mental gymnastics we nowhave to go through?We’re not becoming a race of glob al idiots, but many do think certain skills are enhanced and certain are not. You know the ability to make fast decisions, to answer a dozen e-mails in five minutes, or to fill out maybe big aptitude tests. That’s enhanced. But when someone is out there wi th his kids playing in his little league or something like that, he’s got his cell phone in his pocket. He’s always wondering, “Gee, did I get a voicemail?” This might have negative effects on our own brain patterns.Creativity is something that happens slowly. It happens when your brain is just noodling around, just playing, when it puts together ideas which you hadn’t thought of, or maybe you have time to read a book. You are a businessperson but you have time to read a book about history, or about a philosopher and something that happened long ago or something or some idea somebody thought of long ago. Actually, it might occur to you that you can think of your own business in that way, and so it’s this mixture of unrelated ideas that feeds your produc tivity, feeds your creativity. And if your mind is disciplined to answer every e-mail, then you don’t have time for that playful noodling. You don’t have time for those unexpected conjunctions. So I think maybe we’re getting smarter in some senses, but over-communication is a threat to our creativity and to our reflection.Part B: Listening ComprehensionDirections: In this part of the test there will be some short talks and conversations.After each one, you will be asked same questions.

Translate the following passage （s ） into Chinese ）第1题Some critics believe that the very concept of intellectual property is mistaken. Unlike physical property, ideas are non-rivalrous goods that can be used by many people at the same time without making them any less useful. The term "intellectual property" was widely adopted only in the 1960s, as a way to bundle trademarks, copyrights and patents. Those critics argue that today's rights are too strict and make the sharing of knowledge too expensive. The paradox about intellectual property in IT and telecommunications is that it eases the exchange of technology and acts as a bottleneck for innovation at the same time. The whole system is in a stage of transformation. "Markets require institutions, and institutions take a long time to develop. Today, the institutions for a 'market for technology' are not well developed, and it is costly to use this market," says a specialist. Ideas are to the information age what the physical environment was to the industrial one: the raw material of economic progress. Just as pollution or an irresponsible use of property rights threatens land and climate, so an overly stringent system of intellectual-property rights risks holding back technological progress. Disruptive innovation that threatens the existing order must beencouraged, but the need to protect ideas must not be used as an excuse for greed. Finding the fight balance will test the industry, policymakers and the public in the years ahead.【正确答案】：一些评论家认为知识产权这个概念本身就不乏谬误。

但是，今日我们知道，这一信念是个严峻错误。

(A)上海市高级口译第一阶段笔试英译中文化历史(一)(总分：100.02，做题时间：90分钟)一、试题1(总题数：1，分数：40.00)A commonplace criticism of American culture is its excessive preoccupation with material goods and corresponding neglect of the human spirit. Americans, it is alleged, worship only "the almighty dollar". We scramble to "keep up with the Joneses". The love affair between Americans and their automobiles has been a continuing subject of derisive commentary by both foreign and domestic critics. Americans are said to live by a quantitative ethic. Bigger is better, whether in bombs or sedans. The classical virtues of grace, harmony, and economy of both means and ends are lost on most Americans. As a result, we are said to be swallowing up the world"s supply of natural resources, which are irreplaceable. Americans constitute 6 percent of the world"s population but consume over a third of the world"s energy. These are now familiar complaints. Indeed, in some respects Americans may believe the "pursuit of happiness" to mean the pursuit of material things.（分数：40.00）(1).A commonplace criticism of American culture is its excessive preoccupation with material goods and corresponding neglect of the human spirit.（分数：5.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________正确答案：()解析：人们常常批评美国文化过分热衷于物质产品，却忽略了人的精神需求。
