2. Question to Ask Yourself

Court InterpretingQualificationsResearch ServicesCourt InterpretationQualifications for Court InterpretingWhat qualifications should you have before attempting to become a certified court interpreter in federal or state courts?Professional court interpreters are individuals who:possess educated, native-like mastery of both English and a second language;display wide general knowledge characteristic of what a minimum of two years of general education at a college or university would provide; andperform the three major types of court interpreting:sight interpretingconsecutive interpreting, andsimultaneous interpreting.Thus, proficiency in applied interpreting skills involves the two-fold elements of 1) a high level of mastery of two languages, and 2) specific performance skills in the modes of interpreting. Court interpreters must perform each type of interpreting skillfully enough to include everything that is said, preserve the tone and level of language of the speaker, and neither change nor add anything to what is said. Interpreters must deliver services in a manner faithful to all canons of a Code of Professional Responsibility and court policies regarding court interpreting promulgated by the judiciary.Mastery of a language at the levels required for court interpreting requires reading and speaking the languages regularly in wide variety of language contexts, and, usually, years of formal education. Acquiring the specific performance skills presupposes some element of innate ability and practice, practice, practice!On the following pages are: 1) some questions to ask yourself to help you decide if you are ready to take a court interpreting certification exam, and 2) references to books you can obtain to learn more about court interpreting.A FEW Self Assessment Questions Related to Court Interpreting1. Do you have experience interpreting simultaneously in court or conference settings?___Yes___No2. Have you ever recorded yourself while simultaneously interpreting, and compared yourperformance to a transcription of what was originally said?___Yes___No3. If your answer to 2 was "yes", how successful were you?a) ___I could not keep up.b) ___I could keep up most of the time.c) ___I omitted very little of the original information.d) ___I rendered the complete meaning of what was said with very few exceptions.4.

If someone reads a passage to me that is descriptive (what something looks like, or somethingthat happened), I can remember and repeat back what I hear word-for-word:a) ___I have never tried this, and have no ideab) ___Only if the passage is less than 20 words in lengthc) ___Usually, even if the passage is as many as 30 to 40 words longd) ___Usually, even when the passage is more than 40 words long.KEY:Question 1: If your answer was "no", then you are very likely not ready for this exam.Question 2: If your answer was "no", you probably are not ready for this exam.Question 3: If your answer to 3 was c or d then you are a good candidate for the exam. If you answered b to 3, ask yourself whether you might have accurately rendered as much as 80% of the source language. If you think "yes", then you might pass the exam.Question 4: You should be able to answer a or b. You are not ready if you answered d or e.Question 5: You should be able to answer c or d. If you answer d with confidence, you have the required short-term memory ability necessary for consecutive interpretation. Then, if your bilingual language skills are very good, as described above, then you are a good candidate to pass this part of the exam.Inquiries regarding Court Interpreting may be directed to the Research Division Officevia email or by calling 1-800-616-6109.Last Modified: April 27, 2006Copyright 2002 – The National Center for State Courts.

Unit 12. Part one. Mass media and new technologies. 3. Exercises.1. Listen to a talk about mass media and then supply the missing parts in the following answers.Fifteen years ago if you heard the words mass media you probably immediately thought of television, newspapers, magazines, and the radio. But today if you made a list of the mass media you use you would have to add newer technologies, such as cable, satellite TV, PDAs (or personal digital assistance), and the internet. In today’s world we are surrounded by technology that allows us to communicate with others. And of course technology has brought us some wonderful things. And I personally wouldn’t want to li ve without it. But all these new advances bring us dangers that we should be aware of. Let’s begin by discussing 3 of these danger, violence, passivity, and addiction. There is a lot of violence in TV shows, and many people worry about its effect on us. For example, almost every home in the United States has a color television, and according to a recent study TV is owning every household for 7 hours and 37 minutes everyday. And many people are afraid that children and adolescence are especially susceptible to this violence. In 2003, for example, a young boy jumped out of a window after seeing a superhero do the same thing on TV while he was chasing an enemy. And what about the movie where kids set a subway booth on fire? Some teenagers saw that movie and then they did the same thing. Tragically the man working at the booth died as a result of the fire.2. Listen to the second part of the talk about mass media and supply the missing word you hear from the talk.In addition to making us violent TV can also ma ke us passive. You’ve probably heard the term couch potato. It refers to a person who daydreams for hours in front of the TV. When we are in this passive state we may not be able to distinguish between fantasy and reality, and we may make bad decisions about important things in our lives. Third, using the media can become very addictive. For example, how many internet users can say that they quickly go on line find what they need and get off again. That’s just not the case for most of us who wander through cyber-space kicking here and there and wasting a lot of time in the process. If you check your email more than 3 or 4 times a day you might want to ask yourself if youreally need that communication, and cell-phones which these days can also be used to go on line are highly addictive as well.中级口译听力教程第三版5BPart two.

This is a short conversation about mass media between 2 friends. Listen and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.M: Maggie, can you tell me if there is any form of media that has a particular influence on you? W: Well, I guess I have mix feelings about cell phones. They used to bother me a lot. But now I have one.M: Why didn’t you like them?W: I used to think they were just trendy, a status symbol thing and too expensive. But I think there are other dangers for cell phones.M: Like what?W: Like driving or talking on the cell phone. When I was coming home from college for Thanks Giving break, the bus driver was talking on the cell phone the whole way. And it really upset me. The weather was really bad. And he was just talking on the phone. And I was really scared. Like I didn’t think I was gonna getting home.M: Well, that does sound dangerous.W: Yeah, but I think there are benefits too. I finally bought one because I need people to get in touch with me about school or about work and for my mom. She works a lot. She is away from home a lot. So it’s great for her to have a cell phone to call us at home to keep tabs on us. And, you know, we can call her too.Questions:1) What form of media has a particular effect on Maggie?2) What’s Maggie’s present attitude towards cell phones?3) There are several reasons for which Maggie didn’t like cell phones before. Which of the following is not one of these reasons?4) Why has Maggie finally decided to buy a cell phone?2. Playing video games. This is a short conversation about playing video games. Listen and choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Hi, Bill. Tell me, how often you play video games.M: I don’t know. Maybe a couple of hours a week. In the summer time it’s more maybe 5 or 6 hours a weekW: Don’t you think there is a lot of violence in video games?M: Yeah, well, I try not to play those games. I only like sports games. I hate those gun ones where you just walk around and kill people.W: Why? Do you think they have a bad effect on you?M: I don’t think a bad effect, maybe a waste of things. I feel like when I play I am wasting the day away. I think video games restrict the things kids do, like read. Kids can become addict to them. They just sit and do video games all day.W: So you think they do have a bad effect.M: I don't know. A bad effect? Not for teenagers I think. Maybe they could be dangerous for little kids, bec ause they haven’t been alive for that long and their minds aren’t fully developed.W: And what about big kids? Do big kids know the difference between fantasy and reality? M: Yeah, definitely.W: But what about all the violence?M: Well, most kids like the feeling of killing things in video games. But it’s part of the game. It’s not real. Video games can be very entertaining, but it’s not good if you overuse them. The reason isn’t because that make you deranged, just that they make you waste time. I don’t play any violent games myself. But I know a lot of people who do. And they don’t really have a negative effect. They just make the kid a little more anti-social. They don’t make people want to kill each other.Questions:1) How often does Bill play video games a week in summer?2) What type of games does he like?3) What kind of effect do video games have on people like him according to Bill?4) What’s Bill’s general attitude towards video games?3. Modern forms of media. This is a short conversation about modern forms of mass media. Listen and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Robert, I know you have strong feelings about the media.M: I do. I had never had a television in my life. I grew up before television was reallyco mmon, I just don’t have time for it. I think you have to look at the trade-off for what ever you do.W: What do you mean by trade-off?M: What it costs not only in money but in terms of what it does to your life. I have no real machines in my apartment. Well, I do have an FM radio.W: Yeah, what do you listen to?M: Oh, weather reports, good music, and I have a telephone now, but I lived for 8 years without one.W: Eight years without a telephone?M: Well, I discovered there were telephones on every s treet corner and I really didn’t need one for anything.W: Do you have a computer?M: I do not own a computer. Because when I go on the Internet I am always disappointed. You see, I think modern technology destroys all the beauty of meaning in life. The machine gets in the way. And I don’t want to be part of a machine. That’s not the way I want to live mylife.W: Aren’t there any good things that the modern media brings us? I don’t know closer contact with other people?M: Well, I do have a confession to make. The only modern form of media I really like is the jet plane. I mean I know it’s not the media, but I really consider it to be a form of communication. It has allowed me to travel all over the world. I get great enjoyment out of travelling. I link up with people from foreign countries. I meet them. I talk to them. And so in that way the jet plane has improved international communication much more than fax or email will ever do. W: What an interesting idea! Thank you, Robert.Questions:1) Why has Robert never had a television in his life?2) Which type of modern machine does Robert have now in his apartment?3) According to Robert why didn’t he have a telephone for 8 years?4) How does Robert feel when he goes on the internet?5) What is the only modern form of media?

Scientist estimate that the need for fresh water will have doubled by the year 2050. If they are correct we must find new ways of saving it or producing it.2) To make a long story very short I got the job. There were 5 of us who went for it. And I was chosen. At first it was very awkward, because I know that my friend Bill really wanted it. He was very upset. But now that a few weeks have gone by he is calmed down a bit. I have gotten used to my new position, and my friendship with Bill is better than ever. You could say that I am very relieved. And I love my new job.Unit twelvePart one Mass Media and New TechnologiesPDA=personal digital assistants个人数字助理a PALMTOP (=a very small computer) on which you can store addresses and telephone numbers, and write letters and reports Adolescent adj.青春期的, 青少年的n.青少年An adolescent between the ages of 13 and 19 is called a teenagerSusceptible to 易受某事物影响或损害: highly susceptible to flattery 听几句好话就忘乎所以* plants that are not susceptible to disease不易受病害侵袭的植物.Passivity . 被动性(尤指无行动, 迟钝, 顺从) activity 能动性AdditionSuperheroTo chaseBoothCyberspaceTo click（使某物）发出轻微尖声（像钥匙在锁中转动的声音）; （使某物）发?嗒声/ ~ (with sb) 很快成为好朋友/为（某人）所喜爱/突然明白或理解Mass media . 大众传播媒体, 海量媒体数据, 新闻界Part twoShuttle穿梭班机﹑公共汽车等（定时往返两地的）: I'm flying to Boston on the shuttle. 我将乘穿梭班机去波士顿.Bulletin board告示牌/公告栏Part threeTrendy赶时髦的，贬Keep tabs on记入某事物[某人]的帐; 监视某事物[某人]:Zoom（指飞行器或汽车等）急速的移动, 急速移动时发出的声音Deranged尤指）有精神病的; 精神失常的Anti-socialSomeone who is anti-social is unwilling to meet and be friendly with other people....teenagers who will become aggressive and anti-social.Trade-offtrade sth off (against sth) give sth up (in exchange for sth else) as a compromise 放弃某物作为让步（以换取他物）~ (between sth and sth) balancing of various factors in order to achieve the best combination; compromise （为获得最佳组合, 对各种因素的）权衡, 协调FM radio ？？？Confession（指天主教）向神父忏悔、供认; 招供; 承认; 坦白; 交代、（表明宗教信仰﹑准则等的）声明Status symbol 地位的象征Thanksgiving 11月的第四个星期四Part fourTo aggravate【ægrəveɪt】使（疾病﹑情况﹑罪过等）恶化, 更坏, 加重, 加剧:Synthetic用合成法制造的; 人造的Synthesis综合; 结合/合成; 人造1.Unemployment has risen to over three million for the first time in six years andanalysts【ænəlɪst】expect the jobless total to rise by a further 40,000 this month.失业人数在六年里首次上升到。

You Might Be a Workaholic If…It’s a frequently asked question：Do we live to work, or work to live？A growing number of Americans are finding that they live for work，and some of them are popping up at Workaholics Anonymous meeting nationwide. Unlike people who simply work very hard，which quite frankly is most of us, workaholics never punch out. They always feel like they are on the clock，24/7, physically，mentally and emotionally working.They are more genuinely enthusiastic about work than anything else in their lives, even family and friends。

There’s nothing that person would rather be doing than working.And we’re not just talking about Fortune 500 executives，among others, attend Workaholics Anonymous meeting to try to kick the habit.What Are the Trouble Signs?If you’re workaholic, you can’t stop thinking about work。

剑桥雅思13听力Test3听力答案解析Section 1Question 1答案：850定位原文：scripts:LINDA: Yeah, you should be able to get something reasonable for 850 pounds per month. That’s what people typically pay. You certainly wouldn’t want to pay more than 900 pounds. That doesn’t include bills or anything.解题思路：预测词性的时候，可以确认这里一定是填写一个数字的。

考查数字拼写，但是这里不能像两位数那样填写字母表达，因为题目有字数限制。

同时注意排除900的干扰信息。

Question 2答案：bike/bicycle定位原文：scripts:LINDA: Well, I’m very lucky. I work in the city centre so I don’t have to use public transport. I go by bike.解题思路: 这个题的答案是非常直接简单的。

提到了by bike，而且前文明确说到了不适用公共交通。

Question 3答案：parking定位原文：scripts:LINDA: Yes, it’s fine. And it keeps me fit. Anyway, driving to work in the city centre would be a nightmare because there’s hardly any parking. And the traffic during the rush hour can bebad.解题思路：在原文中there’s hardly any parking也就是parking 非常受到限制，定位信息在city centre。
