Each passage is followed by several questions based on its content. 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—5The purpose of the American court system is to protect the rights of the people. According to American law, if someone is accused of a crime, he or she is considered innocent until the court proves that the person is guilty. In other words, it is the responsibility of the court to prove that a person is guilty. It is not the responsibility of the person to prove that he or she is innocent.In order to arrest a person, the police have to be reasonably sure that a crime has been committed. The police must give the suspect the reasons why they are arresting him and tell him his rights under the law. Then the police take the suspect to the police station to “book” him. “Booking means that the name of the person and the charges against him are formally listed at the police station.The next step is for the suspect to go before a judge. The judge decides whether the suspect should be kept in jail or released. If the suspect has no previous criminal record and the judge feels that he will return to court rather than run away—for example, because he owns a house and has a family—he can go free. Otherwise, the suspect must put up bail. At this time, too, the judge will appoint a court layer to defend the suspect if he can’t afford one.The suspect returns to court a week or two later. A lawyer from the district attorney’s office presents a case against the suspect. This is called a hearing. The attorney may present evidence as well as witnesses. The judge at the hearing then decides whether there is enough reason to hold a trial. If the judge decides that there is sufficient evidence to call for a trial, he or she sets a date for the suspect to appear in court to formally plead guilty or not guilty.At the trial, a jury of 12 people listens to the evidence from both attorneys and hears the testimony of the witnesses. Then the jury goes into a private room to consider the evidence and decide whether the defendant is guilty of the crime. If the jury decides that the defendant is innocent, he goes free. However, if he is convicted, the judge sets a date for the defendant to appear in court again for sentencing. At this time, the judge tells the convicted person what his punishment will be. The judge may sentence him to prison, order him to pay a fine, or place him on probation.The American justice system is very complex and sometimes operates slowly. However, every step is designed to protect the rights of the people. These individual rights are the basis, or foundation, of the American government.1. What is the main idea of the passage?(A) The American court system requires that a suspect prove that he or she is innocent.(B) The US court system is designed to protect the rights of the people.(C) Under the American court system, judge decides if a suspect is innocent or guilty.(D) The US court system is designed to help the police present a case against the suspect.2. What follows ‘in other words’ (para.1)?(A) An example of the previous sentence.(B) A new idea about the court system.(C) An item of evidence to call for a trial.(D) A restatement of the previous sentence.3. According to the passage, ‘he can go free’ (para.3) means _________.(A) the suspect is free to choose a lawyer to defend him(B) the suspect does not have to go to trial because the judge has decided he is innocent(C) the suspect will be informed by mail whether he is innocent or not(D) the suspect does not have to wait in jail or pay money until he goes to trial4. What is the purpose of having the suspect pay bail?(A) To pay for the judge and the trial.(B) To pay for a court lawyer to defend the suspect.(C) To ensure that the suspect will return to court.(D) To ensure that the suspect will appear in prison.5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A) The American justice system sometimes operates slowly.(B) The police can arrest a suspect without giving any reasons.(C) It is the responsibility of the suspect to prove he is innocent.(D) The jury considers the evidence in the court room.Questions 6—10S o you’ve got an invention—you and around 39,000 others each year, according to 2002 statistics!The 64,000-dollar question, if you have come up with a device which you believe to be the answer to the energy crisis or you’ve invented a lawnmower which cut s grass with a jet of water (not so daft, someone has invented one), is how to ensure you’re the one to reap the rewards of your ingenuity. How will all you garden shed boffins out there keep others from capitalizing on your ideas and lining their pockets at your expense?One of the first steps to protect your interest is to patent your invention. That can keep it out of the grasp of the pirates for at least the next 20 years. And for this reason inventors in their droves beat a constant trail from all over the country to the doors of an anonymous grey-fronted building just behind London’s Holborn to try and patent their devices.The first ‘letters patent’ were granted as long ago as 1449 to a Flemish craftsman by the name of John Utynam. The letters, written in Latin, are still on file at the office. They were granted by King Henry VI and entitled Utynam to ‘import into this country’ his knowledge of making stained glass windows in order to install such windows at Eton College.Present-day patents procedure is a more sophisticated affair than getting a go-ahead note from the monarch. These days the strict procedures governing whether you get a patent for your revolutionary mouse-trap or solar-powered back-scratcher have been reduced to a pretty exact science.From start to finish it will take around two and a half years and cost £165 for the inventor to gain patent protection for his brainchild. That’s if he’s lucky. By no means all who apply to the Patent Office, which is a branch of the Department of Trade, get a patent.A key man at the Patent Office is Bernard Partridge, Principal Examiner (Administration), who boils down to one word the vital ingredient any inventor needs before he can hope to overcome the many hurdles in the complex procedure of obtaining a patent—‘ingenuity’.6. People take out a patent because they want to __________.(A) keep their ideas from being stolen(B) reap the rewards of somebody else’s ingenuity(C) visit the patent office building(D) come up with more new devices7. The phrase ‘the brain-children of inventors’ (para.5) means _________.(A) the children with high intelligence(B) the inventions that people come up with(C) a device that a child believes to be the answer to the energy crisis(D) a lawnmower that an individual has invented to cut grass8. What have the 1600’s machine gun and the present-day laser in common?(A) Both were approved by the monarch.(B) Both were granted by King Henry VI.(C) Both were rejected by the Department of Trade.(D) Both were patented.9. Why is John Utynam still remembered?(A) He is the first person to get a patent for his revolutionary mouse-trap.(B) He is the first person to be granted an official patent.(C) He is the first person to be an officer in the Patent Office.(D) He is the first person to have invented a lawnmower.10. According to the passage, how would you describe the complex procedure of obtaining a patent for an invention?(A) It is rather expensive(B) It is an impossible task.(C) It is extremely difficult.(D) It is very tricky..Questions 11—15All living cells on earth require moisture for their metabolism. Cereal grains when brought in from the field, although they may appear to be dry, may contain 20 per cent of moisture or more. If they are stored in a bin thus, there is sufficient moisture in them to support several varieties of insects. These insects will, therefore, live and breed and, as they grow and eat the grain, it provides them with biological energy for their life processes. This energy will, just as in man, become manifest as heat. Since the bulk of the grain acts as an insulator, the temperature surrounding the colony of insects will rise so that, not only is part of the grain spoiled by the direct attack of the insects but more may be damaged by the heat. Sometimes, the temperature may even rise to the point where the stored grain catches fire. For safe storage, grain must be dried until its moisture content is 13 per cent or less.Traditional arts of food preservation took advantage of this principle in a number of ways. The plant seeds, wheat, rye, rice, barley millet, maize, are themselves structures evolved by nature to provide stored food. The starch of their endosperm is used for the nourishment of the embryo during the time it over-winters (if it is a plant of the Temperate Zone) and until its new leaves have grown and their chlorophyll can trap energy from the sunlight to nourish the new-grown plant. The separation by threshing and winnowing is, therefore, to some degree part of a technique of food preservation.The direct drying of other foods has also been used. Fish has been dried in many parts of the world besides Africa. Slices of dried meat are prepared by numerous races. Biltong, a form of dried meat, was a customary food for travelers. The drying of meat or fish, either in the sun or over a fire, quite apart from the degree to which it exposes the food to infection by bacteria and infestation by insects, tends also to harm its quality. Proteins are complex molecular structures which are readily disrupted. This is the reason why dried meat becomes tough and can, with some scientific justification, by likened to leather.The technical process of drying foods indirectly by pickling them in the strong salt solutionscommonly called ‘brine’ does less harm to the protein than straightforward drying, particularly if this is carried out at high temperatures. It is for this reason that many of the typical drying processes are not taken to completion. That is to say, the outer parts may be dried leaving a moist inner section. Under these circumstances, preservation is only partial. The dried food keeps longer than it would have undried but it cannot be kept indefinitely. For this reason, traditional processes are to be found in many parts of the world in which a combination of partial drying and pickling in brine is used. Quite often the drying involves exposure to smoke. Foods treated in this way are, besides fish of various sorts, bacon, hams and numerous types of sausages.11. According to the passage, insects spoil stored cereals by ________.(A) consuming all the grain themselves(B) generating heat and raising the surrounding temperature(C) increasing the moisture content in the grain(D) attacking each other for more grain12. In speaking of the traditional methods of food preservation, the writer ________.(A) expresses doubts about direct smoking(B) describes salting and pickling as ineffective(C) condemns direct drying(D) mentions threshing and winnowing13. Direct drying affects the quality of meat or fish because ________.(A) it exposes them to insects(B) it makes them hard(C) it damages the protein(D) it develops bacteria14. We can learn from the passage that salting preserves food by ________.(A) destroying the protein(B) drawing away moisture from the food(C) drying the food in the sun(D) dressing the food15. According to the passage, partial drying is useful because ________.(A) it damages the protein less(B) it can be combined with pickling(C) it leaves the inside moist(D) it makes the food softQuestions 16—20We are moving inexorably into the age of automation. Our aim is not to devise a mechanism which can perform a thousand different actions of any individual man but, on the contrary, one which could by a single action replace a thousand men.Industrial automation has moved along three lines. First there is the conveyor belt system of continuous production whereby separate operations are linked into a single sequence. The goods produced by this well-established method are untouched by the worker, and the machine replaces both unskilled and semiskilled. Secondly, there is automation with feedback control of the quality of the product: here mechanisms are built into the system which can compare the output with a norm, that is, the actual product with what it is supposed to be, and then correct any shortcomings. The entire cycle of operations dispenses with human control except in so far as monitors areconcerned. One or two examples of this type of automation will illustrate its immense possibilities. There is a factory in the U.S.A. which makes 1,000 million electric light bulbs a year, and the factory employs three hundred people. If the preautomation techniques were to be employed, the labour force required would leap to 25,000. A motor manufacturing company with 45,000 spare parts regulates their entire supply entirely by computer. Computers can be entrusted with most of the supervision of industrial installations, such as chemical plants or oil refineries. Thirdly, there is computer automation, for banks, accounting departments, insurance companies and the like. Here the essential features are the recording, storing, sorting and retrieval of information.The principal merit of modern computing machines is the achievement of their vastly greater speed of operation by comparison with unaided human effort; a task which otherwise might take years, if attempted at all, now takes days or hours.One of the most urgent problems of industrial societies rapidly introducing automation is how to fill the time that will be made free by the machines which will take over the tasks of the workers. The question is not simply of filling empty time but also of utilizing the surplus human energy that will be released. We are already seeing straws in the wind: destructive outbursts on the part of youth whose work no longer demands muscular strength. While automation will undoubtedly do away with a large number of tedious jobs, are we sure that it will not put others which are equally tedious in their place? For an enormous amount of sheer monitoring will be required. A man in an automated plant may have to sit for hours on and watching dials and taking decisive action when some signal informs him that all is not well. What meaning will his occupation bear for the worker? How will he devote his free time after a four or five hour stint of labor? Moreover, what, indeed, will be the significance for him of his leisure? If industry of the future could be purged of its monotony and meaninglessness, man would then be better equipped to use his leisure time constructively.16. The main purpose of automation is _________.(A) to devise the machine which could replace the semi-skilled(B) to process information as fast as possible(C) to develop an efficient labor-saving mechanism(D) to make an individual man perform many different actions17. The chief benefit of computing machines is ________.(A) their greater speed of operation(B) their control of the product quality(C) their conveyor belt system of continuous production(D) their supervision of industrial installations18. One of the problems brought about by automation in industrial societies is _________.(A) plenty of information(B) surplus human energy(C) destructive outbursts(D) less leisure time19. Which of the following best explains the use of ‘stint’ (para.4)?(A) Effort.(B) Force.(C) Excess.(D) Period.20. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A) There is no automation with feedback control of the quality of the product.(B) Computers are reliable in any supervision of industrial installations.(C) The essential features for banks are the recording and sorting of information.(D) Automation will undoubtedly eliminate numerous tedious jobs.Questions 21—25The city water pipes in Rome were usually of baked clay or lead; copper was sometimes used and also hollowed stone. For the large supply conduits leading to the city the Romans used covered channels with free water surfaces, rather than pipes. Perhaps this choice was a matter of economics, for apparently they could make lead pipes up to 15 inches in diameter. While pipes can follow the profile of undulating ground, with the pressure increasing in the lower areas, channels cannot. They must slope continuously downwards, because water in channels does not normally flow uphill; and the grade must be flat, from 1 in 60 in small channels to perhaps 1 in 3,000 in large ones, to keep the water speed down to a few feet per second. Thus the main supply channels or aqueducts had long lengths of flat grade and where they crossed depressions or valleys they were carried on elevated stone bridges in the form of tiered arches. At the beginning of the Christian era there were over 30 miles of these raised aqueducts in the 250 miles of channels and tunnels bringing water to Rome. The channels were up to 6 feet wide and 5 to 8 feet high. Sometimes channels were later added on the tops of existing ones. The remains of some of these aqueducts still grace the skyline on the outskirts of Rome and elsewhere in Europe similar ruins are found.Brick and stone drains were constructed in various parts of Rome. The oldest existing one is the Cloaca Maxima which follows the course of an old stream. It dates back at least to the third century B.C. Later the drains were used for sewage, flushed by water from the public baths and fountains, as well as street storm run-off.The truly surprising aspect of the achievements of all the ancient hydraulic artisans is the lack of theoretical knowledge behind their designs. Apart from the hydrostatics of Archimedes, there was no sound understanding of the most elementary principles of fluid behaviour. Sextus Frontinus, Rome’s water commissioner around A.D. 100, did not fully realize that in order to calculate the volume rate of flow in a channel it is necessary to allow for the speed of the flow as well as the area of cross-section. The Romans’ flow standard was the rate at which water would flow through a bronze pipe roughly 4/3 inch in diameter and 9 inches long. When this pipe was connected to the side of a water-supply pipe or channel as a delivery outlet, it was assumed that the outflow was at the standard rate. In fact, the amount of water delivered depended not only on the cross-sectional area of the outlet pipe but also on the speed of water flowing through it and this speed depended on the pressure in the supply pipe.21. The Romans used all of the following to make water pipes EXCEPT _________.(A) earth (B) wood (C) copper (D) stone22. Covered channels were used instead of pipes to supply large quantities of water probably because _________.(A) the Romans could build them more cheaply(B) these channels could follow uneven ground more easily(C) the Romans could not build large pipes。

se veral questions about it.You are to choose ONE best answer,(A),(B),(C)or(D),to ea ch question.Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is state d or implied in that passage and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the co rresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Questions1—5Anyone who doubts that children are born with a healthy amount of ambition 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 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 Inter net without worrying about Big Brother looking over their shoulders.”(para.5),the express ion“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 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。

2000.11上海市英语中级口译资格证书第二阶段考试A卷参考答案:Part APassage 1:本书是想要帮助没有写书经验的作者。

第一章作为介绍，主要谈了两点。

//首先，谈到一个人只要想写，就可以写得好。

其次，谈到任何人只要愿意努力工作，并且会使用写作工具，就可以写作。

//如果有人说他不会写作，意思多半是指他没有写作经验或者说他当时没有什么好写。

//然而，一旦在他的头脑里一个题目或一种思路已经形成，词句也会油然而生，那时，声称不是作家的人会突然开始像作家那样写作。

Passage 2:布里斯托尔的确是一座非常美丽、有趣和迷人的城市。

美丽的公园和花园里到处是趣味盎然的路径，旧时代的房屋和建筑昂然挺立在城市的山坡上。

//然而，布里斯托尔并非仅仅如此；那还是座现代化的城市，有当代艺术的最新作品，也有有趣和丰富多样的夜生活。

//布里斯托尔的四周有美丽的乡村，起伏不断的山地，以及一流的度假胜地。

从这里出发到一些全国最迷人的旅游景点，如城堡和宫殿，只有短短的一段车程。

// 布里斯托尔一向重视旅游业，欢迎来自世界各的游客。

当地有一流的住宿可供选择，还有其引以为自豪的众多餐馆和咖啡馆。

Part BPassage 1:Today, we are very happy to meet here and exchange views on cooperation in a wide range of areas, on the basis of equality and in a friendly manner. //Looking back on the past experiences and into the future, I believe we should enhance mutual understanding and trust, and promote technical exchanges and cooperation. // We are prepared to increase cooperation with major multinational corporations in the world, and carry out major reforms in business management structure. //I am convinced that our reform will provide both sides with tremendous investment and trade opportunities, thus making positive contributions to the economic development of theAsia-Pacific region.Passage 2:The People’s Republic of China is a united multi-national state founded jointly by the people of all nationalities. So far, there are 56 nationalities. //Compared with the Han nationality, China’s other 55 ethnic groups have a relatively small population, thus they are customarily referred to as ethnic minorities. //According to the fourth national census conducted in 1990, the Han nationality accounts for 92 percent of the country’s total population, and minority ethnic groups account for 8 percent. //During China’s long history of development, the people of various nationalities in China migrated and mingled, which eventually brought about today’s distribution.口译题录音文字稿:Part ADirections: Is 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 at the signal … You may take notes while you are listening. Remember you will hear the passages only once. Now let’s begin Part A with the first passage.Passage 1:This book tries to help the inexperienced writer. The first chapter, which is meant as a kind of introduction, contains two main ideas. //First, it says that a person writes best when he wants to write. Second, it says that anyone can write if he is willing to work hard at it and has access to writing tools and instruments. // If someone says that he cannot write, he probably means that he either has no experience as a writer or knows of nothing to say at the moment. //But once a subject or an idea comes alive in his mind, the words also begin to come to life and the person who claims that he is not a writer suddenly begins to act like one.Passage 2:Bristol is a truly beautiful, interesting and fascinating city. Beautiful parks and gardens leak onto interesting lanes and footpaths, while houses and buildings of old times stand magnificently on the hills of the city. //But Bristol is much more than this; it is a modern city where the latest works in contemporary arts can be found and where the night- life is interesting and varied. // Bristol is surrounded by beautiful countryside, rolling hills, and top class holiday resorts. Some of the country’s most fascinating tourist attractions—castles and palaces—are only a short drive away. //Bristol has always encouraged the tourist industry and welcomed tourists from all parts of the world. There is a superb choice of accommodation available and the city is proud of its many restaurants and cafes.Part BDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in Chinese.

I’m here for an allergy medication. The nurse sent me---I think her name was Margaret---in the student clinic. She said I didn’t need a prescription, and that you would know the right medication. It’s for allergies, for my itchy nose and burning eyes. I’ve been having sneezing fits, and it’s driving me crazy.M: All right. I think she means the new product, the really strong one.W: Maybe that’s the one. She says it really works for allergies.M: All right. We have---you have a choice actually of capsules or tablets. There’s no difference in price.W: It doesn’t matter. Hmm…capsules, I guess.M: All right. Now, this is a powerful drug, so you need only---no more than two capsules every six hours. And you shouldn’t d rink alcohol, drive a car, or operate machinery.W: Uh oh! I have a big test tomorrow! I don’t know…if this is going to make me drowsy…Do you have anything else that’s effective but won’t knock me out?M: Nothing that will relieve your symptoms like this d rug. Why don’t you---you could take two capsules three or four hours before your test. That way, the drug’s still working, but the drowsiness has mostly worn off when you take your test.W: Ok. Well, I guess I have no choice. I can’t start sneezing during the test.11. Why does the woman need the medication?12. What does the man imply about the medication?13. What is the woman afraid of?14. What will the woman probably do?Questions 15—18In order to know how behavior patterns can be changed, the clinical psychologist has to know what causes the client to behave the way he or she does. Identifying the cause is called diagnosis. In diagnosis a psychologist uses two basic tools: interviews and psychological tests. Through interviews and tests, the psychologist tries to classify the problem to see if it falls into any known categories.A psychologist may also attempt to describe the client’s personality in terms of how he or she deals with life. For example, some people like to lead, and some prefer to follow the lead of others. Some people are active and outgoing, while others are quiet and reflective.In a diagnostic interview, the psychologist takes the client’s case history. This means learning how the client got along with parents, teachers, and friends, as well as how the person handled difficult situations in the past.Psychological testing is the other way that a psychologist tries to diagnose the client’s problems. Clinical psychologists have developed test that can help them learn about a person’s intelligence and personality, as well as tests that show whether a person’s behavior or perception is influenced by emotions, disabilities, or other factors.Personality testing is useful in discovering how the client tries to adjust to life. Personality tests can reveal unconscious feelings the person is unable to talk about. This information can be important and could help shorten the length of treatment required.15. What is the purpose of the lecture?16. How do clinical psychologists diagn ose a client’s problems?17. Why does the professor discuss taking a client’s case history?18. According to the professor, why are personality tests useful?Questions 19—22M: Jackie, I wonder if I could talk to you about something.W: Sure. What’s on your mind?M: There’s an opening at channel 12 that kind of interests me—an internship. I was kind of thinking of applying for it.W: You mean the television station? What sort of job? Oh, I hope that doesn’t mean you’ll have to leave us!M: No, no, I wou ldn’t quit my job. It’s a part-time internship for production assistant. Production work, general stuff…probably mostly I’d be a gofer.W: I see.M: Anyway, it’d be a way in the door. Unfortunately, it’s not a paid internship, but that doesn’t matter. It’s the experience---the chance to work in television---that’s more important to me right now. Some day I’d like to write, or produce. I probably don’t stand much of a chance, though. I’m sure there’ll be lots of other people who apply, with more qualifications than me.W: Don’t be so sure about that. You never know. Sometimes it’s not the credentials but the person who matters. My friend got a really good job in the mayor’s office---public relations, a power position---and before that the only work she’d done was emergencyrescue---evacuating people in helicopters! Flood victims, accidents and the like. And thenshe goes and lands this glamour job in the mayor’s office, with no experience in politics whatsoever!M: Wow!W: Yeah. So you can never tell.M: Still, I’m going to need all the help I can get. If only I could…uh…convince them of how much---I need them to know how much this would mean to me. I was wondering, Jackie, if you…W: You want a recommendation?M: Uh, yeah, like I said, I need all the help I can get.W: I’d be happy to do what I can. I feel I know y our work pretty well. Here in the lab you’ve always been good at troubleshooting, and helping people figure out their e-mail. I can emphasize that in the letter. When do you need this?M: Um…by the e nd of the week? The application is due next Tuesday.W: All right, Alex. I hope this will work out for youM: If not this, then something else.W: There you go. That’s the spirit!19. What is the conversation mainly about?20. Why does the man want to get the internship?21. Why does the woman tell a story about her friend?22. What does the man want the woman to do?Questions 23—26Researchers study television to understand its effects on viewers and to measure its effectiveness in selling products. Much of the research on TV audiences is market research, paid for by corporations with something to sell. Let me repeat: research on television is funded largely by advertisers.The television industry depends on advertising money to survive, and this relationship influences what television offers viewers. Advertisers aim to reach mass audiences and specific social groups. In turn, the television industry tries to meet the needs of advertisers, because pleasing the advertisers is nearly as important as pleasing the public. This means advertisers have a lot of control over what programs are made and when they are shown.The American television industry is controlled by people who are more interested in the culture of consumerism than in preserving cultures or natural resources. I mean, for the first time in history, most of the stories children learn don’t come from their parents or schools; they come from a small number of large corporations with something to sell. And this culture of consumerism is exported to other countries.Television is the most effective marketing tool ever created. Many advertisements apply basic psychology by sort of appealing to out insecurities and desires. Ads convince us that the things we once thought were luxuries are now necessities. Television is highly skilled at creating images of affluence, not just in the ads, but in the programs as well. Using sophisticated market research, programmers and advertisers sort of paint a picture of life centered on material possessions. This kind of life may look glamorous and desirable, but it’s all at the expense of personal relationships.As you probably can tell, I tend to agree with critics of the media. Advertising does create false needs, and products we really need don’t require advertisin g. Television promotes consumerism. It shows us things, things, and more things. It encourages greed and envy. Television helps create a wasteful society, where things are thrown out long before they are worn out.23. What is the main idea of the lecture?24. According to the professor, why do researchers study television?25. According to the professor, why do advertisers have control over television programming?26. What is the professor’s opinion of television?Questions 27—30M: Excuse me, Dr. Kilmer. Do you have a minute?W: Hello, Darren. Come on in, have a seat. What can I do for you?M: Well, it’s about my midterm grade for organizational psychology. I…I’m surprised it’s so…low. I feel like I’ve been working pretty hard in this class.W: I see. Well, let’s go back and have another look at each of your assignments…here we go. Ok, I’ve pulled up your record. Hmm..you had a C on the midterm exam and a B on your first assignment.M: Yeah, that was the paper about the interview. I talked to a woman at a bio-research firm.W: Yes, I remember that paper. You must have learned some useful things. But unfortunately, Darren, I don’t have any record here for the second and third assignments. They were due on October 1st and the 13th.M: I know…but I’ve been sort of busy. My younger brother’s starting classes here in January, and I have to show him around and help him find a place to live. He’s staying with me for now, but he doesn’t have a car, so I have to drive him.W: Can’t your brother take the bus some of the time?M: Uh, it’s really hard. He’s my brother, and he’s had some problems in the past. My parents want me to help him get settled. They live two thousand miles away.W: I see. That does make it tough.M: I’d like to…Would it be all right if I made up those two papers? I started the first one, but I just didn’t get everything typed up.W: Yes, of course you can make up the work, but it would be best if you did that as soon as possible. Remember, these short papers, together with the long term paper, count for 50% of your final grade.M: I know. And I need my final grade to be better than my midterm grade. Don’t worry. I’ll get it together. I really like this class…I just have to get more organized.W: Well, good luck, Darren. I’m glad you came to talk to me.M: Thanks, Dr. Kilmer. I appreciate your time.27. Why does the student speak to his professor?28. What reason does the student give for not completing his assignments?29. When were the assignments due?30. What point does the professor make ab out the student’s work?Part C: Listening and Translation1. 1.

2011秋中级口译考试英译汉原题及参考译文原文：The relative decline of American education at the elementary-and high-school levels has long been a national embarrassment as well as a threat to the nation’s future. Once upon a time, American students tested better than any other students in the world. Now, ranked against European schoolchildren, America does about as well as Poland, behind at least 10 other nations. Within the United States, the achievement gap between white students and poor and minority students stubbornly persists.For much of the last half century professional educators believed that if they could only find the right pedagogy, the right method of instruction, all would be well. Yet in recent years researchers have discovered something that may seem obvious, but for many reasons was overlooked or denied. What really makes a difference, what matters more than the class size or the textbook, the teaching method or the technology, is the quality of the teacher. Much of the ability to teach is innate— an ability to inspire young minds as well as control unruly classrooms that some people instinctively possess and some people definitely do not.参考译文：中小学教育水平相对滞后的问题长期以来一直困扰着美国，并且威胁着国家未来的发展。

Fill in each of the blanks with the words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE.In America there are no nobles or men of letters, and the common folk mistrust the wealthy; Consequently lawyers form the highest political class and the most cultivated circle of society.

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。

2002.11Part APassage 1:主席先生，我要感谢您那热情洋溢、雄辩无比的演讲。

此时此刻，许多人正在通过神奇的电讯设备倾听着我们的讲话。

//是的，此时此刻整个世界都在关注着我们。

虽然我们在此所作的演讲很快便会被人们遗忘，但是我们在此的作为却能改变世界。

//我国社会制度和政治制度在许多方面都与贵国的社会制度和政治制度不同。

这源于我们不同的经历和不同的传统。

//鉴于我们有着截然不同的历史、地理和文化，很难想象我们会对的有问题都有一致的看法。

但是对世界和平的基本需求，我们的看法是一致的。

//Passage 2:与美国人谈判并无特别的样式。

谈判的方式视业务不同而不同，取决于参与谈判的人员。

//然而，有些特点在绝大多数美国商务谈判人员中相当普遍。

//譬如，美国人往往直截了当，为明确商务术语的定义而咄咄逼人、锱铢必较。

//虽然美国人享有决策果断的声誉，但是，在公司着手进行主要或重大项目时，决策并非总是果断的。

因此，你也要做好准备进行冗长的谈判。

People used to go shopping only during their holidays, but nowadays the consumption fashion has been diversified. //Changes also occurred stealthily in the field of recreational consumption. For their holiday recreational consumption, people are no longer satisfied with the traditional practices of going dancing or playing bowling. //Instead, people choose to go to libraries reading or go to museums with their family members. The culture- related recreational consumption is gradually gaining currency.Passage 2:According to the statistics from the housing authority, prices of China’s houses averaged at 2,226 yuan a square meter last year, 6 percent up over the year before. //Houses in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou ranked the most expensive across the nation, with prices exceeding 3,400 yuan per square meter. Houses in and around downtown areas in the city center are more expensive. //The sales reports of the houses sold in the above mentioned three cities show that last yearthe growth of China’s overall housing market w as obvious mainly in the first six months. In the second half- year, the growth slowed down. //Due to increasing new projects finished in the second six months, stockpile of unsold houses rose by over 7 percent.

2011年3月中级口译笔试真题完整版（含答案） SECTION 1: LISTENING TEST (45 minutes) Part A: Spot Dictation Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE. My topic for today’s lecture is communication, culture and work. When most people use the word culture, they think of people from different national backgrounds. National cultures certainly do exist and they play an important role in shaping the way people communicate, but there are other dimensions of culture too. Within a nation, regional differences can exert a powerful influence on communication. New Yorkers and Alaskans may find one another’s styles of behaving so different that they might as well be from different countries. Race and ethnicity can also shape behavior. So can age. The customs, values and attitudes of a twenty-year-old girl may vary radically from those of her parents who were raised in the 1960s or her grandparents who lived through the Great Depression and World War Ⅱ. Still, other differences can create distinctive cultures. Gender, sexual orientation, physical disabilities, religion and socio-economic background are just a few. All of these factors lead to a definition of culture as a set of values, beliefs, norms, customs, rules and codes that lead people to define themselves as a distinct group, giving them a sense of commonality. It’s important to realize that culture is learned, not innate. A Korean-born infant adopted soon after her birth by American parents and raised in the United States will think and act differently than his or her cousins who grew up in Seoul. An African American who grew up in the inner city will view the world differently than he or she would if raised in the suburbs or in a country like France where African heritage has different significance than it does in the United States. The norms and values we learn as part of our cultural conditioning shape the way we view the world and the way we interact with one another. In short, culture has such an overwhelming influence on communication that famous anthropologist Edward Hall once remarked, ‘culture is communication and communication is culture.’ 【解析】 作为中口笔试听力第一题Spot Dictation，考试选用了文化题材的内容，考生对此类型题材应该并不陌生，但若不集中注意力，也会比较难把握文章的层次。
