PartB Passage 1: China, a country with a civilization of 5000 years, has contributed to the world its four major inventions, namely, the compass, gun-powder, paper-making and movable-type printing. Meanwhile, China has spread across the globe its knowledge and methods of traditional health care, for example, taijiquan boxing (or shadow boxing), static qigong breathing (or controlled deep breathing exercise) and therapeutic massage. // These health care methods are very effective not only in preserving physical health, but also in mental health and weight reduction. According to the theory of Chinese traditional medicine, maintaining a balance between the mind and the body and a harmonious state of balance between the yin and yang vital energy is essential for health. The practice of taijiquan and qigong is based on this theory. Passage 2: In the world today, as the economies of all countries and regions are closely interrelated, no country or region can develop in self-seclusion. The same is true with China. Therefore, we have taken it as a basic state policy to open wider to the outside world on the basis of self reliance. // A socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics is an open system with an open economy as its core. We will continue to improve the investment environment so that overseas investors will make profits. We are ready to assimilate and draw upon the science and technology and managerial experience that are useful to us. ⼝译题录⾳⽂字稿: Part A Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in English.

need s pend only a few minutes with a baby eagerly learning to walk or a headstrong toddler sta rting to talk.No matter how many times the little ones stumble in their initial efforts,mo st keep on trying,determined to master their amazing new skill.It is only several years l ater,around the start of middle or junior high school,many psychologists and teachers ag ree,that a good number of kids seem to lose their natural drive to succeed and end up j oining 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 parents 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 psycholo gy professor at the University of Michigan,who led a landmark,25-year study examining what motivated first-and seventh-grades in three school districts.Even so,a growing num ber of educators and psychologists do believe it is possible to unearth ambition in student s 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 suff er from an emotional or learning disability,or isn’t involved in some family crisis at hom e,many educators attribute a sudden lack of motivation to a fear of failure or peer pressu re that conveys the message that doing well academically somehow isn’t cool.“Kids get s o caught up in the moment-to-moment issue of will they look smart or dumb,and it bloc ks 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 Ne w York City public school seventh-graders to do just that.Dubbed Brainology,the unorth odox 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 their intelligence is malleable,”says Lisa Blackwell,a research scientist at Co lumbia University who has worked with Dweck to develop and run the program,which h as helped increase the students’interest in school and turned around their declining mathgrades.More than any teacher or workshop,Blackwell says,“parents can play a critical r ole in conveying this message to their children by praising their effort,strategy and progr ess 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 disappearan ce of drive in some kids.“These programs shut down the motivation of all kids who are n’t considered gifted and talented.They destroy their confidence,”says Jeff Howard,a soc ial psychologist and president of the Efficacy Institute,a Boston-area organization that wor ks with teachers and parents in school districts around the country to help improve childre n’s academic performance.Howard and other educators say it’s important to expose kids t o a world beyond homework and tests,through volunteer work,sports,hobbies and other extracurricular activities.“The crux of the issue is that many students experience education as irrelevant to their life goals and ambitions,”says Michael Nakkual,a Harvard educatio n professor who runs a Boston-area mentoring program called Project IF(Inventing the Fu ture),which works to get low-income underachievers in touch with their aspirations.Thekey to getting kids to aim higher at school is to disabuse them of the notion that classwo rk 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 tolearn 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 help ful 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 Questions6—10Civil-liberties advocates reeling from the recent revelations on surveillance had someth ing 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 g overnment has asked those companies to turn over information on its users’search behavi or.All 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 relat ed to national security,but the government’s continuing attempt to police Internet pornogr aphy.In1998,Congress passed the Child Online Protection Act(COPA),but courts have blocked its implementation due to First Amendment concerns.In its appeal,the DOJ wan ts to prove how easy it is to inadvertently stumble upon pore.In order to conduct a cont rolled experiment—to be performed by a UC Berkeley professor of statistics—the DOJ wa nts 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 ea ch 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 govern ment has not right to demand its proprietary information to perform its test.“We intend t o resist their motion vigorously,”said Google attorney Nicole Wong.DOJ spokesperson Charles Miller says that the government is requesting only the actu al 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 determi ne the degree to which objectionable sites are searched.)Originally,the government asked for a treasure trove of all searches made in June and July2005;the request has been sc aled 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 need to suppress speech to protect minors on the Net.“We think that o ur 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 tes t,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’sMiller,“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 p ersonal information of consenting customers to improve search performance.“Search is a window into people’s personalities,”says Kurt Opsahl,an Electronic Frontier Foundation a ttorney.“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,the 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 information”(para.2)required by DOJ a s 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 phrase“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

organizationQuestions11—15On New Year’s Day,50,000inmates in Kenyan jails went without lunch.This was not s ome mass hunger strike to highlight poor living conditions.It was an extraordinary human itarian gesture:the money that would have been spent on their lunches went to the charit y Food Aid to help feed an estimated 3.5million Kenyans who,because of a severe drou ght,are threatened with starvation.The drought is big news in Africa,affecting huge area s 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 th e drought,you may not be aware that it is devastating one group of people disproportiona tely:the pastoralists.There are20million nomadic or semi-nomadic herders in this region, and they are fast becoming some of the poorest people in the continent.Their plight enc apsulates Africa’s perennial problem with drought and famine.How so?It comes down to the reluctance of governments,aid agencies and foreign l enders 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 demonstrate d time and again that pastoralists are well adapted to their harsh environments,and thatmoving livestock according to the seasons or climatic changes makes their methods far more viable than agriculture in sub-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 climatic conditions.They make a substantial contribution to their countries’national economies.In Kenya,for example,the turnover of the pastoralist sector is worth$800million peryear.In countries such as Burkina Faso,Eritrea and Ethiopia,hides from pastoralists’her ds make up over10per 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 th e profits goes to the herders themselves;the lion’s share is pocketed by traders.This is p artly because the herders only sell much of their stock during times of drought and famin e,when they need the cash to buy food,and the terms of trade in this situation never w ork 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 pro blems in the1960s,investing millions of dollars in commercial beef and dairy production. It didn’t work.Firstly,no one bothered to consult the pastoralists about what they wante d.Secondly,rearing livestock took precedence over human progress.The policies and strat egies of international development agencies more or less mirrored the thinking of their col onial predecessors.They were based on two false assumptions:that pastoralism is primitiv e and inefficient,which led to numerous failed schemes aimed at converting herders to m odern ranching models;and that Africa’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 i ntervention 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 remain ing livestock and cereals to keep themselves and their families alive(the problem in Afric an famines is not so much a lack of food as a lack of money to buy it).Another examp。

First, of all the liquids we know, water takes the most amount of heat and it can also store amazing amounts of heat. Because water turns hot and cool more slowly than other liquids, it protects the earth from sudden temperature changes. //I also want to discuss how water is used in the human body. Water can carry vitamins and minerals throughout our body with ease. Water can also be used toclean the body of wastes. But, since water dissolves things easily, it can also be polluted by poisons and bacteria.Passage 2:It is with great honour that I am here to make a speech before you. I bring you the warm greeting and friendly sentiments of the President of the United States and the American people. For an American of my generation, to visit the People’s Republic of China is to touch the pulse of modern political history. // As one of your poets wrote over a thousand years ago, “We widen our view three hund red miles by ascending one flight of stairs.” We two peoples are ascending that flight of stairs together, constructing a new world political and economic order for the 21st century as equal partners.2、Part B（中译英）Passage1:我们想通过改革在我国确立有中国特色的社会主义市场经济的体制。

Now let us begin Part A with the first passage.听力原文：Many people who do yoga are looking not inward but outward for a good shape．This provokesa cultural clash of the East and the West．The Indian tradition develops ways of describing the body as it is experienced，from the inside out．The Western tradition looks at the body from the outside in，and peels it back one layer at a time，and it believes only what it can see．The East treats the person；the West treats the disease．Yoga relaxes you and，by relaxing，heals．// When you do yoga--the deep breathing，the stretching，the movements that release muscle tension，and so on—you initiate a process that turns the fight system off and turns the relaxation response on，that has a dramatic effect on the body．The heartbeat siows，respiration decreases，blood pressure decreases．The body seizes this chance to turn on the healing mechanisms．Yogaoffers modern men and women a moment of relaxation when noise and agitation are everywhere．1．Passage 1正确答案：许多瑜珈练习者并不在意瑜珈的内涵，而更注重它给自己身体带来的外在变化。

⼀、⼝语题 Directions： Talk on the following topic for at least 5 minutes. Be sure to make your points clear and supporting details adequate. You should also be ready to answer any questions raised by the examiners during your talk. You need to have your name and registration number recorded. Start your talk with “My name is……”“My registration number is……” 1、Topic： The Discuss what constitutes a healthy way of life 2、Question for Reference： 1. What 1. Define a healthy way of life in terms of both physical and mental well-being. 2. What contributes to a healthy way of life？ What can man do to help live a healthy way of life？ 3. What factors do you think will prevent one from living such a life？ . ⼆、⼝译题 1、Part A （英译中） Passage 1： The In an era dominated by electronics and telecommunications， we can never emphasize too much the importance of change. Motorola defines “change” as challenge and opportunity. The past decade has seen Motorola seize the opportunities opened up by changes in China and build itself into one of the most successful American investors in the country. ∥ With a firm commitment and substantial investment， we promote technological progress in China. By doing so，Motorola's brand has become a household name in China. China is both an opportunity and a challenge. We have laid a lot of groundwork， and helped China to implement its own strategy. We will reinvest and bring new technology into China. Passage 2： For most people， almost any place can become a tourist destination as long as it is different from the place where the traveler usually lives. London may not be a tourist attraction to a Londoner， but for a New Yorker it may have many charms. Many big cities offer a unique atmosphere and history. The Great Wall and the Palace Museum of Beijing， and the cable cars of San Francisco are part of the unusual atmosphere of those cities.∥ Smaller and yet well-known towns and rural areas throughout the world may also have attractions of this kind that tourists visit. An excellent example is the small village town of Stratford， Shakespeare's birthplace. Of course， natural scenery has always been an attraction for tourists. Millions of people have visited Niagara Falls， for example. Its reputation as a place for a honeymoon resort is world-famous. 2、Part B（中译英） Passage1： 现代化的交通、电信与⼤众传媒⼿段使世界变得越来越⼩，国际社会如同⼀个地球村，居住在地球村⾥的各国⼈民在⽂化交流中彼此尊重、共求发展。

上海市11月高级口译答案2000.11上海市英语高级口译资格证书第二阶段考试A卷参考答案：Part APassage 1：20世纪以来，美国工业涨落不断。

汽车工业不得不为迎接外国竞争的挑战而努力奋斗，出现了许多新工业。

许我时新的工业都属于所谓的高科技工业，因为它们要依赖于科技上的最新发现。

∥高科技工业趋向高自动化，这样就比诸如炼钢这样的传统工业需要更少的工人。

随着高科技工业的发展以及比较老的工业在近些年来的衰退，美国制造生产线上的工人比例已经下降服务行业——不制造产品而出售服务的行业——在经济中处于主导地位。

Passage 2：心脏病像其他退行性疾病一样，在出现明显而剧烈的症状前，会潜伏很长一段时间。

其实，我国大多数年轻人在20出头时就已经得了心脏病。

病情一年年每况愈下，直到最后心脏病不可避免地发作。

∥大部分人到了一定年龄心脏病才会第一次发作，比如说到了50多岁或60多岁。

但是每一年都有数以千计的人在20多岁时就心脏病发作，有时候甚至会有人在10多岁时就发作严重的心脏病。

在这个意义上，我们可以说，由于年轻人对心脏病毫无防备，这种疾病对他们更具威胁。

Part BPassage 1：Welcome to the Donghai World Park. The Donghai World Pak，which is the largest theme park of its kind unparalleled in the Far East，features a complete collection of the well-known world scenic spots. Surrounded by 100 sights of historical interest and natural attraction including the seven wonders of the world，you will easily fulfill you dream of touring around the world in a day.∥The miniature replicas of the selected scenic sights were constructed out of top grade stones of white jade，marble and granite，all boasting exquisite workmanship and ingenious design. The tourists will find themselves engrossed in an involuntary admiration of the dazzling arrays of the exact scenic reproductions that are unbelievably true to the original.Passage 2：The National Bureau of Statistics has conducted a survey among one hundred Chinese economists. Most of them think that the economic trends during the first half of the year were favorable and the economic situation is quite ideal. With regards to the macroeconomic trends for the second half，over 80% of those polled predicted that the second half would be better than the first half.∥With regards to China’s economic growth this year，all experts predict a higher figure than that of last year，the average forecast being about 8%. However，at the same time，many experts argue that without a new round of infusion of funds，the economic growth rate of the second half could be lower than that of the first half.口译题录音文字稿：Part ADirections：In this part of the test，you will hear 2 passages in English. After youhave heard each paragraph，interpret it into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal……and stop it at the signal……You may take n otes while you are listening. Remember you will hear the passages only once. Now let’s begin Part A with the first passage.Passage 1：The 20th century has seen the rise and decline of a succession of industries in the United States. The automobile industry has had to struggle to meet the challenge of foreign competition. Many new industries have appeared. Many of the currently rising industries are among what are known as high-tech industries，because of their dependence on the latest developments in technology.∥High-tech industries tend to be highly automated and thus need fewer workers than traditional industries such as steel-making. As high-tech industries have grown and older industries have declined in recent years，the proportion of American workers employed in manufacturing has declined. Service industries—industries that sell a service rather than make a product—now dominate the economy.Passage 2：Like other degenerative diseases，heart disease is ordinarily present for a very long time in the body before obvious and drastic symptoms appear. In fact，for most young people in our country，heart often begins in their early twenties. It grows worse over the years until finally the inevitable heart attack strikes.∥For most people the first heart attack does not come until a certain age，say their fifties or sixties. But for thousands of people every year，the first heart attack comes in the twenties and occasionally even a person in his teens may experience a serious heart attack. In this way we can say that heart disease is more dangerous to theyounger generation，since they are not at all prepared for it.Part BDirections：In this part of the test，you will hear 2 passages in Chinese.

今天的伦敦虽然已不再是世界人口最多的城市之一，但仍然是世界主要的古曲文化和通俗文化中心之一。

例如，自16世纪莎士比亚时代起伦敦一直享有拥有一流剧院之美誉。

//伦敦拥有许多世界著名的旅游胜地，令人印象最深刻的观光景点有大自鸣钟、牛津街，当然还有白金汉宫，成千上万的旅游者到那里观看（皇家）卫队换岗典礼。

伦敦自身就是一座活生生的博物馆，有着2000年的历史文化。

大英博物馆则是镶刻在这顶文化皇冠上的一颗宝石，拥有400万余件展品。

Passage 2:我是个乐观主义者。

正如我写的文字中将明确显示的，我认为知识是一种赐福，而不是灾祸。

这在遗传知识方面尤为如此。

比如，有了遗传知识，我们首次了解癌症的分了了结构人，对老年痴呆作出诊断和预防，发现人类历史的奥秘—这一切在我看来是无上的福祉。

//的确，遗传学也会带来新的危险，诸如对具有不同遗传因素的人收取不平等的保险费，新式的生物战，以及遗传工程的难以预料的副作用等，但这些危险大多是容易对付的或离目前极为遥远的。

因此我不会支持流行的对悲观看法，我也不会对这个世界拒绝科学的看法表示赞同。

Part BPassage 1:Relevant studies show that in the past four decades the growth and expansion of traditional industries have benefited a lot from the development of new and high technologies. The sustained growth of the US economy over a relatively long period has been largely due to the fact that new and high technologies such as information technology have infiltrated into and promoted the traditional industries.//According to the statistics, the information technology industry, which accounts for 30% of the US economic development, has become a great driving force of the growth of the growth of the US economy. So we may draw the following conclusion: we will certainly sharpen the competitive edge of Shanghai industries and products if we can transform traditional industries and promote the reform and adjustment of the industrial structure through the use of new and high technologies.Passage 2Distinguished guests from New Zealand, ladies and gentlemen, I feel honored and pleased to be here to preside over this grand welcome ceremony for the honorable New Zealand guests.

During the years, we have conducted sincere and fruitful co-operations in the fields of politics, economy, culture, education and so on. //With more and more exchanges between the two peoples, I, as a Chinese scholar, have had opportunities to visit New Zealand many times, studying, lecturing and exchanging ideas. I'm deeply impressed by her beautiful scenery, plenty of sunshine, agreeable climate, quiet and comfortable study environment, as well as its people who are kind and friendly.口译题录文字稿：Part ADirections: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in English.

For example, it has enjoyed a reputation for superb theater since the time of Shakespeare in the 16th century. // London boasts many world-famous tourist attractions. The most impressive sight-seeing places include the Big Ben, the Oxford Street, and of course the Buckingham Palace, where thousands of tourists come to watch the pageantry, the Changing of Guards. London itself is a living museum, with more than 2000 years of history and culture. The jewel in this cultural crown is the British Museum, with more than 4 million exhibits.Passage 2:I am an optimist. As will be clear from what I have written, I think knowledge is a blessing, not a curse. This is especially true in the case of genetic knowledge. For example, with genetic knowledge, we'll be able to understand the molecular nature of cancer for the first time, to diagnose and prevent Alzheimer's and to discover the secrets of human history-all these seem to me to be immense blessings.//It is true that genetics also brings the threat of new dangers, such as unequal insurance premiums for people of different genetic factors, new forms of biological warfare, and unexpected side effects of genetic engineering, but most of these dangers are either easily dealt with or extremely far-fetched. So I cannot agree to th4e fashionable pessimism about science,nor can I accept the idea of a world that turns its back on science.Part BDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in Chinese.
