2013年对外经济贸易大学211翻译硕士英语考研试题回忆版))(回忆版一、单选Part 1 单选今年比较注重基础,注意词组搭配,偏重经贸类的实用性用语 Part 2 改错 与原来的题型变化不大都是关于区分run on sentence, comma splice, choppy, fragment四个错误的选项;注意:不仅要选出句子出现的问题(若无错误,选择correct),还要进行改错,将正确答案写到答题纸上二、阅读总共四篇,都是有关经贸类的文章,后两篇阅读题型与BEC的阅读题型相同,一个为根据上下文,选择正确的句子,另一个是给出五段文章,总结文章大意,六选五三、作文图表题,report, 分析对比美国在2011年六月至十二月的GDP、失业率(unemployment rate)及产量(output),字数为300-350字(字数较去年有所增加)作文:A report :Compare and analyze the unemployment rate,GDP and output between June and December of the US. 300到350词。
附一张经济数据图。
30分额最后一个小时看这个作文,真心无能为力啊,经济数据图真心看的不是很明白。
30分后,最后实在不忍心一分也不得啊,最后一个小时,看数据表看了15分钟愣是无从下手,最后还剩半个小时了,于是乎匆忙写了几句话,写的很烂啊,凑点字数吧。
以后考贸大翻译的同学们平常多读些带经济数据表的新闻报刊文章,多总结些上面的用词,看看他们写作的套路模式,如何分析比较,我觉得主要是背吧,多背过一些英语报刊上的带有数据表的分析文章,背熟背烂了,我觉得应对贸大的硕士英语基础应该不成问题。
还有今年的贸大的选择题,有几个是过往几年的其它学校mti 的真题,没变,大家复习时从各学校2010年的真题开始做。
专题似的做,总结。
改错题,fragment,run on ,choppy, comma splice,弄明白概念看些例子,做题时也不是很难,概念句型百度百科文库有的。

Those involved with personal selling will find that speaking the local language isn"t optional but a requirement for success. Besides just being able to get the basic information across to the customer, a salesperson also communicates the company"s dedication to the marketplace. All salespeople face an uphill battle when trying to promote a product, but those without the requisite language skills may find that the hill is almost nguage skills will also come into play when advertising and promotional collateral(brochures, manuals, business cards)are translated. A poorly worded document or mistranslated slogan can sink a sales effort before it even starts.(Wanting to assure their Belgian target audience of the sturdiness of their vehicles, General Motors" marketeers once translated their slogan of "Body by Fisher" into Flemish. The resulting translation read more like "Corpse by Fisher" with embarrassing results. One could question whether, even if it had been properly translated, the slogan would have had the desired effect on the Belgian consumers.)The choice of brand names will also rely heavily on how the translation or logo design will play in the new market.Prior to distribution, all translated advertising and promotional materials should be reviewed numerous times by native speakers to uncover potential problems. All administrative and sales personnel who will be working regularly in the target market must have a degree of fluency that will permit their marketing skills to be effective over the long-term.Understanding the target culture is a continuing difficulty, even for major global market players. Pundits may be claiming that the world is becoming more and more homogenized, but there"s only scant evidence of it in marketing. Cultural challenges are perceptual, and perception changes regularly. Having a firm understanding of what a culture was like a decade ago is of practically no use today. Cultural research must be continually updated if advertising and promotions are to work.Even cultures that have had a long-term relationship with each other can have difficulty communicating. For instance, though the Paris-based House of Chanel has been a name brand in the United States for many decades, they were unable to reach the American market with an ad that was hugely successful in Europe. The now-famous Egoistefragrance ad—featuring women screaming out the brand name from the windows of a Riviera hotel —made very little sense to the U. S. consumer. The ad was just " too French" for the United States and demonstrates a lack of market research. Another Chanel advertising campaign, this one for the Coco line, featured scantily clad European pop star Vanessa Paradis swinging on a trapeze inside of a birdcage. This ad was quite successful, even though few in the U. S. market knew who Ms. Paradis was. In this case, the sexual nature of the advertisement crossed the cultural line. The same ad, however, would have been banned in much of Asia and the Middle East.Very few advertising campaigns succeed in crossing cultural lines on a global basis. Certain categories of products are more easily "globalized" than others. Those that become part of a "lifestyle"(beverages, clothing, personal care, food)are the most common cultural crossers. Thus, Budweiser, Levis, Lancome, and Mars have all had an easy time making cultural inroads. Because these "lifestyle enhancers" are positioned by the "image" they create, they are intentionally directed at youth, who often prefer to separate themselves from the dominant local culture. Advertising schemes that have the greatest chance of succeeding globally exhibit the following attributes: simplicity, directness, humor and clever imagery. All four components should be as broad as possible in composition for the ad to have universal appeal.(分数:2.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 35.汉译英__________________________________________________________________________________________ 36.推进经济结构战略性调整是加快转变经济发展方式的主攻方向。

翻译。
背了一堆翻译词汇今年竟然一个词汇翻译都没有,就一个汉译英70分与一个英译汉80分。
英译汉是一篇医学文章,里面什么胆囊啊肠啊的生词一大堆。
汉译英是文言文啊亲,我旦不学好啊,跟着北大学考文言文额。
原文如下:世有三乐,真乐也。
一曰人伦之乐,二曰心地之乐,三曰讲习之乐。
孟子曰:“父母俱存,兄弟无故,一乐也。
”此人伦之乐也;“仰不愧于天,俯不怍于人,二乐也。
”此心地之乐也;“得天下英才而教育之,三乐也。
”此讲习之乐也。
人伦之乐自父母兄弟之外,妻室欲其同甘苦,子孙欲其师教,宗族欲其和睦,女之适人者欲其得所归结,自人伦而推之,有一败人意则非乐也。
心地之乐岂止俯仰无愧怍而已,其道德必与圣贤合、与天地并,可也;道德未同乎圣贤、未同乎天地,不可以已也。
讲习之乐何止于得英才而教育,凡学问德行之有胜乎吾者,吾方且师之,虽受人之教育亦乐矣。
此三者,天下之真乐。
不此之乐,而以外物为乐,乐未一二,而忧已八九。
世俗以为乐,识者不贵也。
百科知识中国四大发明,欧债危机,金砖四国,莫言,生态难民,莎士比亚,君主立宪制,euro tunnel,thedeclaration of independence,DNA,伦敦奥运会,秦始皇陵兵马俑,论语,大中华文库,Encyclopedia Britannica,a nation on wheels,还有一个masps 还是什么的这个不知道,数了数17个还有8个想不起来了,这个是一个2分,一共五十分。

Part II Reading Comprehension(40%,2points each)Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing A,B, C,D.Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage1Google:soul searchingSearch is losing market share in digital advertising There comes a time when all monopolies falter.Think of telecoms operators or utilities,for example.For Google,too,its near-monopoly on search ads will someday end.The company is nowhere near this point yet, of course.But recently there have been signs that Google is no longer quite as untouchable as it once was.Start with online ads.The market for digital advertising has weakened recently.According to IAB,US digital ad spend grew14per cent in the second quarter.Not bad.But that was the lowest rate of growth in two years.More concerning still for Google is that search ads’share of the digital advertising pie has been shrinking since2011.Google is still outgrowing the market–revenues from its own sites, including YouTube,grew20per cent in the most recent quarter.But the move away from search is starting to hurt:Bernstein estimates that Google search revenue growth slowed to17per cent.Google’s fastest-growing source of revenue has become its lower-margin“other”category,which includes sales from Google Play and is growing at50per cent a year.As ad dollars move away from search,Google has been losing share of the overall online advertising market to Facebook.In the US, eMarketer expects Google’s share of digital ads to fall from40per cent (2013),to38per cent(2014),to34per cent(2016).Facebook’s market share is expected to climb from8per cent to11per cent in the same period.Part of the problem is that search ads do not seem to be quite as successful on mobile(the fastest-growing part of digital ad spend)as on desktop.People do use search on phones–search is about half of mobile ad spending.But these ads appear to have less impact than targeted social media ads,and could fall off quickly as more effective forms of mobile advertising are found.Facebook,which has a higher ad market share on mobile than on desktop,has seen its click-through rate triple over the past year,according to Nanigans.Unfortunately for Google,mobile advertising is getting increasingly crowded.Snapchat,a popular photo-sharing app,is launching ads.And Yahoo is trying to boost its mobile ad offering with its acquisition of Flurry.The search business naturally tends towards monopoly.But the advertising business,ex-search,does not.1.What dose the word"shrink"mean?A.ThriveB.StableC.Expandpress2.Why dose the author mention IAB in the second paragraph?A.To explain why the digital advertising market has weakened recently.B.To support the viewpoint that digital advertising market has weakened.C.To argue the point that digital advertising market has weakened recently.3.According to this article,which company might NOT be the competitor of mobile advertising for Google?A.FacebookB.YahooC.SnapchatD.MicrosoftPassage2India/Brazil:A tale of two subsidies“The value of Petrobras . . . is a growing value.Everyone who has invested in Petrobras will make lots of money.”President Dilma Rousseff of Brazil was in rousing form when defending the country’s state-owned oil company in an election debate on Sunday.She once chaired its board.But the good news was slightly marred by Ms Rousseff’s admission that some may have made their Petrobras money by siphoning it off the company directly.And if this did not make Petrobras’minority shareholders feel glum about destruction of value,they could also have looked at India this weekend for a contrast.At the stroke of midnight Delhi time on Saturday, the market took over setting diesel prices after the government ended subsidies.These were a burden on the state and made profits less predictable at refiners(many themselves state-owned).Petrobras’R$225bn(or$102bn)market value dwarfs any of these companies–even India's state owned ONGC,which like Petrobras is both a producer and a refiner.But the Brazilian government requires Petrobras to apply its own fuel subsidies.Prices are kept under control to stop inflation rising further.Between2011–a year after a$70bn equity offering to foreign investors–and2013,Petrobras’net income was R$78bn overall.But its refining division,partly because of the subsidies, posted net losses of R$51bn.And this year the Brazilian real’s weakening against the US dollar may make importing fuel dearer.The Indian government has been canny.It picked the fall in oil prices to deregulate.The first breath of market forces was thus a Rs3.4 price cut per litre.The drop in crude prices is the equivalent of Rs5, HSBC thinks,so refiners could either pass more on to consumers or increase margins.Such opportunities do not often present themselves. The case for reforming Petrobras’pricing must get through an election first.It trades8times forecast2015earnings.To quote Ms Rousseff,thereis muito dinheiro(a lot of money)at stake.1.What is the Lex's stand on fuel subsidies?A.ForB.AgainstC.Not clear2.Indian government ended what exactly?A.All kinds of fiscal subsidies.B.State ownership of oil companies.C.Subsidies on diesel.3.Petrobras has a2013profit of Real78bn,a market value of225bn, which is8times forcast2015earnings.Is the company's profits going up or down?A.Going up.B.Going down.C.More or less the same.Passage3US loans:growing broodBanks are lending more–putting regulators on edge If the economy is a family,equity represents the grown ups,debt the children.Kids are great–new life and all that.They grow naughty, though,when too many are underfoot.The US has grown fecund.Are congratulations in order?Or is it off to the orphanage again,to dump the worst of the ankle-biters for restructuring?Rates remain very low,and net interest margins remain slim.Banks are responding by lending more.In October,loans to customers stood at $7tn,according to the St Louis Federal Reserve,about a10th higher than in2008,before Lehman Brothers went bust.With the US economy growing robustly(by global standards),more businesses feel confident about mercial and industrial loans issued by banks have grown nearly50per cent since the post-crisis lows of late2010. Commercial real estate(CRE)loans are growing at a particularly fast pace as banks back new development projects.In the last quarter JPMorgan’s CRE loan portfolio grew13per cent from a year earlier.The figures at Wells Fargo,Citigroup and Bank of America are also rising, albeit more modestly.Banks have eased credit conditions for large companies in19out of the past20quarters,according to Credit Suisse.A US Federal Reservesurvey shows that10.5per cent of US banks have lowered their standards (giving loans to companies with lower credit scores)for big and midsized groups.Meanwhile,risky leveraged lending has continued to grow despite a regulatory crackdown.All this activity has put regulators on edge.They fear a repeat of the crisis,when all the bawling and dirty diapers took the family to the edge of insolvency.Specifically,the Fed is worried that growing competition between banks to win over new customers will lead many to weaken their underwriting standards and risk management assessments.Yet,non performing loans have halved since the2010peaks.And bad debt charges have fallen to0.23per cent in the second half of this year,down from the2.5per cent high in the last quarter of2009,Credit Suisse analysis shows.Today’s banks are better capitalised than they were before the crisis. But high levels of risky debt could undermine those buffers.For the moment,the growing brood looks comfortable enough.But the more it grows,the riskier it becomes.1.In the second paragraph,the author mentions data from St Louis Federal Reserve to illustrate that______.A.rates remain lowB.banks lend more interest margins remain slim2.According to the author,the Fed is worrying about some problems, EXCEPT______.A.a repeat of the crisisB.the undermine of underwriting standardsC.the weaken of risk management assessmentsD.the robustly grow of the US economy3.The word"halved"in the last but one paragraph can be replaced by "_______".A.raisedB.modifiedC.reducedD.VanishedPassage4Alibaba:swinging singlesAmerican capitalism could not bear a holiday devoted only to gratitude–a notoriously hard concept to monetise.So after Thanksgiving comes Black Friday–and the country shops.China’s Singles’Day(named for all the ones in the date,11/11)was for romance.That did not set registers ringing,either.Alibaba charged into the breach a few years ago with a Singles’Day sale.The results make the Americans cramming into Walmart look like timid socialists.This Singles’Day,the total volume of merchandise bought through Alibaba was Rmb57.1bn($9.3bn),blowing past last year’s$5.9bn.Total US retail sales for the entire four-day Thanksgiving weekend of2013, online and in stores,were roughly$57bn.Alibaba,a marketplace operator rather than a retailer,takes up to5 per cent of each transaction–no discount on Alibaba’s merchant fees for Singles’Day,thank you.So the day’s discounts of at least50per cent compresses revenues,especially considering that before the big day some sales are put off(one merchant has said that in the two weeks before Singles’Day its online sales drop80per cent).Alibaba has not disclosed the revenues it makes from Singles’Day.The big winners,other than consumers,might be the delivery companies.Given all this,and that Alibaba’s$300bn market capitalisation is about50times net income,profitability matters.Alibaba’s shareholders will have to wait for the next earnings report for clues to whether Singles’Day2014was an economic success as well as a promotional one.Cash flow,in particular,bears watching.Capital expenditures tripled in Alibaba’s latest reported quarter,to$550m,as the company spent money on data centres,land rights and construction.Cash flow after capital spending therefore grew much more slowly than profit(even putting aside the$775m Alibaba lent to its merchants in the quarter).Chinese consumers are proving their buying power and Alibaba is proving its selling power.Earnings power will determine whether investors keep clicking buy,buy,buy.1.How do we define Alibaba?A.Alibaba is a retailer.B.Alibaba is a marketplace operator.2.According to the writer,who might be the big winner of the Singles’Day?A.RetailersB.ConsumersC.Delivery companiesD.Both consumers and delivery companies3.Why dose the cash flow of Alibaba grow much more slowly than theirprofit?A.Because they spent money on data centres.B.Because they spent money on land rights.C.Because they spent money on construction.D.All the above.Part III Writing(30%)The chart below shows the figures for imprisonment in five countries between1930and1980.Write a report of350-400words in English for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.Your writing will be assessed for language,format,structure,content and length. Write your report on the ANSWER SHEET.1930-1980五十年间五个国家囚禁犯人的数据情况该图表对比的是1930-1980五十年间五个国家囚禁犯人的数据情况。

Our only hope of locating it was a cryptic clue that traditionally resided in a lone envelope perched high on the tree, out of our reach.One year the envelope contained a particularly mind-boggling treasure hunt that my brother, sister and I still recall as The "TOCEP" Christmas Mystery. (In fact, this treasure hunt directly inspired the scene on page 111 of The Da Vinci Code.) That was the year we had a foreign exchange student living with us. Bea was South African and understandably was somewhat overwhelmed by the frenzied anticipation that led up to an American Christmas. Nonetheless, she embraced the decorating, singing, and cooking with a zeal that made the holidays doubly special for us that year. So it was with great happiness, on Christmas morning, after all the presents were opened, that my parents handed Bea the mysterious envelope and explained to her the Brown tradition of a Christmas Quest.Looking amazed that such a tradition could exist, Bea excitedly opened the envelope. The poem inside announced that this year's quest involved locating five letters of the alphabet, which had been hidden around the house. According to the poem’s final stanza, the first letter we needed to find was "T."You seek a letter in a nook(It's very hard to see).But of the places you might look,There’s just one spot for "T."Only one spot for T?My little brother Greg was the first to figure it out. He leapt up and dashed into the kitchen. We all ran after him as he retrieved a stool, dragged it into the breakfast nook, climbed up onto the counter, and grabbed the canister in which my mother kept her tea bags. Sure enough, inside was a note card emblazoned with the letter "T."Brilliant!Along with the letter "T" we found another clue, which ingeniously guided us down to the basement where we found the letter "O" taped to an O-shaped Hoola Hoop.Again, fiendishly clever!From there more clues led us all over the house. In the kitchenwe found the letter "C" stuffed in a Vitamin C container. In the mud-room, the letter "E" was hidden inside my Exeter baseball cap (bearing that same letter).By then, we had located four letters (T-O-C-E), and still we felt no closer to understanding our mysterious prize. We hoped the fifth and final letter would make it all come clear. The final clue, however, was baffling.The final letter in your quest,Is simple as can be.It's hidden in a special roomQuite natural for a "P."A special room quite natural for a P?I looked in the pantry around the canned peas. Nothing.My little brother checked his bedroom for his Phillies cap. Nothing.A natural place for "P"?It was Beatrice, our exchange student (having learned a good amount of American slang), who suddenly gasped, jumped to her feet, and dashed up the stairs. For a moment, my siblings and I thought she was ill... but then we heard her shriek with joy. We raced upstairs to find Bea in the bathroom, laughing hysterically and pointing into the toilet. We peered inside,and there, to our enormous delight, we found the letter "P" taped inside the toilet bowl."P" in the toilet!The joke left all four of us kids rolling on the floor in hysterics. Surely my parents had to be the two funniest people alive. Finally, when we all could breathe again, we hurried back to the living room to decipher the meaning of these five mysterious lettersT-O-C-E-P?We spread the letters out on the living room floor and stared at them.T...O...C...E...P?They meant nothing to us.It was my younger sister Valerie who saw it first. She drew a startled breath and spun to my parents in disbelief. "No!" she exclaimed. "Really?"My parents were beaming. "Really. We leave tomorrow morning." The rest of us kids watched in rapt animation as little Valerie victoriously rearranged the five letters TOCEP.... to spell one magical word: EPCOT. Instantly, all four kids were dancing around the room, whooping for joy, chanting "Epcot! Epcot!" Even our exchange student Bea had heard of Walt Disney World'sEpcot Center, and she joined in the dance. It was a dream come true. The very next morning, we all boarded a plane for Epcot. It was the best Christmas ever.附上答案一枚每个家庭都有自己的过节传统,我们布朗家也是如此。

p1是07年专八阅读真题textA,关于Welsh语言和民族resurgence的。
The Welsh language has always been the ultimate marker of Welsh identity, but a generation ago it looked as if Welsh would go the way of Manx. once widely spoken on the isle of Man but now extinct. Government financing and central planning, however, have helped reverse the decline of Welsh. Road signs and official public documents are written in both Welsh and English, and schoolchildren are required to learn both languages. Welsh is now one of the most successful of Europe’s regional languages, spoken by more than a half-million of the count ry’s three million people.The revival of the language, particularly among young people, is part of a resurgence of national identity sweeping through this small, proud nation. Last month Wales marked the second anniversary of the opening of the National Assembly, the first parliament to be convened here since 1404. The idea behind devolution was to restore the balance within the union of nations making up the United Kingdom. With most of the people and wealth, England has always had bragging rights. The partial transfer of legislative powers from Westminster, implemented by Tony Blair, was designed to give the other members of the club- Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales-a bigger say and to counter centrifugal forces that seemed to threaten the very idea of the union.The Welsh showed little enthusiasm for devolution. Whereas the Scots voted overwhelmingly for a parliament, the vote for a Welsh assembly scraped through by less than one percent on a turnout of less than 25 percent. Its powers were proportionately limited. The Assembly can decide how money from Westminster or the European Union is spent. It cannot, unlike its counterpart in Edinburgh, enact laws. But now that it is here, the Welsh are growing to like their Assembly. Many people would like it to have more powers. Its importance as figurehead will grow with the opening in 2003, of a new debating chamber, one of many new buildings that are transforming Cardiff from a decaying seaport into a Baltimore-style waterfront city. Meanwhile a grant of nearly two million dollars from the European Union will tackle poverty. Wales is one of the poorest regions in Western Europe- only Spain, Portugal, and Greece have a lower standard of living.Newspapers and magazines are filled with stories about great Welsh men and women, boosting self-esteem. To familiar faces such as Dylan Thomas and Richard Burton have been added new icons such as Catherine Zeta-Jones, the movie star, and Bryn Terfel, the opera singer. Indigenous foods like salt marsh lamb are in vogue. And Wales now boasts a national airline. Awyr Cymru. Cymru, which means “land of compatriots,” is the Welsh name for Wales. The red dragon, the nation’s symbol since the time of King Arthur, is everywhere- on T-shirts, rugby jerseys and even cell phone covers.“Until very recent times most Welsh people had this feeling of being second-class citizens,” saidDyfan Jones, an 18-year-old student. It was a warm summer night, and I was sitting on the grass with a group of young people in Llanelli, an industrial town in the south, outside the rock music venue of the National Eisteddfod, Wales’s annual cultural festival. The disused factory in front of us echoed to the sounds of new Welsh bands.“There was almost a genetic tendency for lack of confidence,” Dyfan co ntinued. Equally comfortable in his Welshness as in his membership in the English-speaking, global youth culture and the new federal Europe, Dyfan, like the rest of his generation, is growing up with a sense of possibility unimaginable ten years ago. “We used to think. We can’t do anything, we’re only Welsh. Now I think that’s changing.”(源自/view/2f88c61dff00bed5b9f31d5f.html)p2是讲网络个人信息隐私不安全的,比较好找,选项直接。
