要求考生准确填写出试题中的空缺部分。

☞听写文字内容长度为350词左右，语速为每分钟150词左右。

录音朗读时间2－3分钟。

☞试题中有20处标号的空缺部分要求考生填写，填写部分的单词、短语长度为2－6个单词。

☞听写内容播放后有4－5分钟时间供考生填写。

注意：高级口译听力考试中的所有录音材料只放一遍，ONLY ONCE。

难点阐述❍听不出——不能准确听辨所要填写的信息。

❍记不下——虽然能听辨出信息，但来不及记下来。

“四要素”（语音、词汇、语法、文化背景）。

语言的“四要素”是听力提高的实力基础。

只有步步为营、稳扎稳打、认真掌握，听力才会有质的飞跃；也只有这样，才会有“不管风吹浪打，胜似闲庭信步”的从容。

●由于空格与空格之间的时间间隔短，不可能把单词全部拼写出来。

所以要掌握一套简写符号。

二、技巧速成边听边看边写，善用简写，不懂放弃，语法复查，小心誊抄。

解析：1、边听边看边写Spot-dictation要求考生一边听录音，一边填写出文章中的空白。

可是往往考生容易出现两种失误：要么把文章中已经有的内容当作了听写内容现在了空格中；要么看串了空格，把第五空填在第六空，第六空写在第七空...形成了恶性循环（vicious circle）。

2012年9月高级口译听力Note-takingandGap-filling原文Hello, I'm Anna Jones and I have been invited to talk in this programme about London life. And in today’s programme we’re looking at a very English custom - the custom of tea-taking. I think the whole art of tea-taking is a very elegant and a very English thing to do. This whole ambience of tea-taking makes you be elegant.I am the director of press and public relations at the Ritz hotel in central London. The Ritz hotel is one of the most famous hotels in London and is celebrating its centenary. It opened 105 years ago in 1906. The Ritz is especially well known for its wonderful teas but taking tea at the Ritz is not an everyday event –it’s usually reserved for a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary. Tea is served in the beautiful surroundings of the Palm Court. Displays of flowers and palms add to the experience of tea-taking. The whole character or quality of the Ritz makes you feel elegant. It makes you feel attractive and you behave in a very graceful way. And it’s not just a cup of tea either –it’s almost like having a 3 course meal.The actual food items on the tea menu come on a three-tiered cake stand. The bottom being the finger sandwiches – very traditional – and the waiter will explain what the fillings are. Then we do our scones in the middle and we do our cakes and pastries on the top. It’s done almost like courses.Well, we say that the food arrives on a “three-tiered cake stand - there are three levels, one on top of each other and on each level there’s a plate for holding the food. And what food is there? There are finger sandwiches –these are smallsandwiches filled with a variety of different things. This kind of s andwich is “very traditional” –it’s something that has been going on in the same way for a very long time –so finger sandwiches have been a part of the traditional English afternoon-tea for a long time. In the middle of the tier there are scones which are small round cakes which are often eaten with jam and cream which is known as a cream tea. And finally, at the top of the tier there are various cakes and sweet pastries.People say that tea is its almost done like “courses” - a part of a meal which is served separately from the other parts of it. Now what about making the tea? How do you make a proper cup of English tea? What is the most important thing about making a cup of tea?The most crucial thing about tea-making is to make sure that the water is “piping” hot – it is very hot and has just boiled. Then after pouring the water onto the tea leaves you let the leaves “stew” or absorb the water to make the tea. If you hear someone talking about “stewed tea” they are describing tea that has been left too long in the tea pot before being poured and tastes strong and bitter.What about the milk? What is the tea making etiquette? What are the rules or socially accepted ways of adding the milk? Does it go in to the cup before the tea is poured or afterwards? Well at the Ritz the etiquette – or the accepted way – is to add the milk afterwards so that the guest can decide how strong or weak they would like their tea.Well as we mentioned earlier the Ritz is a very famous London hotel – so famous in fact that its name now appears in the dictionary as an adjective. What do you think it means? Even the name The Ritz has become generic in the dictionary, peopletalk about things being “ritzy” and even if something is not very ritzy or something is very ritzy and that all comes from the name. If something is described as “ritzy” it is expensive and fashionable –for example you might describe someone’s dress or car as ritzy. Well its 4 o clock now so it must be time for a cup of tea!【解析】这是上一篇以Afternoon tea at the Ritz为题的文章。

2012年3月高级口译听力Spot Dictation 原文+评析Psychologists have many theories to explain how we remember information. The most influential theory is that memory works as a kind of storage system for information. There are three types of these storage systems with different functions that hold information for different amounts of time. They are sensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory. Sensory memory holds information for the shortest amount of time, less than for seconds and instant. Sensory memory is where stimuli or things that stimulate our senses are very briefly stored. We forget sensory memories almost instantly, unless they passed into another storage system. Examples of the stimuli are what we see and hear in the world, such as a flash of lightning or the sound of a door closing. Short-term memory also called working memory, holds information for about 15 to 20 seconds. This is not a very long time. But the information that passes into this system has more meaning for us than just sensory stimulation. Some experts believe that sensory information changes into visual images as it is stored. And others believe that information changes into words. There is not much room for information in short-term memory. And it did not stay there for very long. Examples of this types of information are telephone numbers, addresses and names. Long-term memory holds information almost indefinitely, although retrieving it can sometimes be difficult. Think of long-term memory as a very big library, with almost unlimited capacities for storage. Information gets filed, cataloged and stored. Long-term memory has several different components or categories. The main two categories are declarative memory and procedure memory. Declarative memory is where we store factual information, such as names, faces, dates, life events. Procedure memory is where we store memory of skills and habits , like how to ride a bike, or how to boil an egg. Within the declarative memory, there are smaller categories of memory, episodic memory and semantic memory. Episodic memory relates to our personal lives. Things we have done or experienced, such as having a car accident or graduating from school. Semantic memory is where we organize general knowledge or facts about the world, such as math formulas, spelling rules and capital cities.点评：这是一篇关于人类记忆分类的文章。

沪江英语绿宝书之2011年3月上海高级口译考试听力原文（Section 1 - SD）SECTION 1: LISTENING TEST (30 minutes)Part A: Spot DictationDirections：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 blank 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.Renowned US economist John Rutledge who helped frame the fiscal policies of two formal US presidents warned that an abrupt rise in China’s currency could lead to another Asian financial crisis. The founder of Rutledge Capital told the media that if the Yuan rises too fast and too high, it would discourage foreign direct investment in China, while encouraging currency manipulation by markets speculators. Currency change is more difficult for investors, and more exciting for speculators. The Chinese currency has appreciated by more than 5% since July 2005, when the country allow the Yuan to float against the US dollar, with a daily band of 0.3%. The analysts are expecting the currency to rise another 4% by the end of this year. But if the Yuan rose 20% to 30%, as some US politicians are demanding, it would jeopardize the Chinese economy, causing a recession and deflation. Similar advise to allow an abrupt appreciation of a currency led to the Asian financial crises in 1997, and came very close to destroying the Japanese economy. The US economist says that investors want foremost to avoid risks associated with large f luctuations in currency and inflation. They calculate returns on their investment after evaluating risks to benefits such as lower labour cost. A rising Yuan would drive up labour costs for forming investors and would not result in higher wages for workers. Earlier reports said the currency speculators had pumped 200 billion US dollars into China, by the end of last year, with another 17 billion US dollars flowing into the economy in the first 3 months of this year. There is no way to accurately track the flow of this types of investment, and many economists disagree that the amount of speculative cash is so high, instead of further appreciating itscurrency. China should make the Yuan convertible to the US dollar. If the Yuan were more easily converted into foreign currencies, it would allow Chinese companies to expand overseas, facilitate the purchase of foreign technology and provide management experience, and capital that China needs. It would also shrink for extra reserves and reduce speculative money coming into the country.解析：经济类文章，探讨了最近人民币升值以及背后的一些隐患问题；除了涉及到一些经济类的专用词汇，整体难度不大；currency n. 货币，通货；manipulation n. 操作，控制；speculator n. 投机商；speculative cash 投机热钱；appreciate v. 增值；depreciate v. 贬值；float v. 指（汇率）浮动；analyst n. 分析家；fluctuation n. 波动，起伏；inflation n. 通货膨胀；deflation n. 通货紧缩；convert v. 兑换；convertible adj. 可兑换的；reserves 储备金；Japan's nuclear crisis is also causing concerns in China. Shoppers have spurred a run on salt in many cities, with the false belief that it can guard against radiation exposure.The government is taking measures to guarantee sufficient supply and to stabilize the market.It also dismissed the nuclear rumors, saying the nuclear fallout is unlikely to reach the country, and that salt does not help to ward off radiation poisoning.Worried shoppers rushed to stores and supermarkets in the country for salt, with the belief that it may protect them from potential nuclear radiation spreading from Japan.Many rushed to hoard as much iodized salt as possible. This trend has led to grocery store shelves being ransacked over the past several days."I went looking for salt in the supermarket, stores and street markets, and it's all sold out."It all stems from the rumor that iodized salt could help ward off radiation poisoning spreading from Japan's Fukushima Daiichi power plant. Consumers also worried that the nuclear plumes might spread to China by air and sea, contaminating food sources, including salt taken from the sea.The wave of panic buying spread quickly across the country, driving up salt prices by five to ten fold in some cities.Even regions rich in salt production, like Jiangxi Province face sudden shortages.Local authorities have stepped in to stabilize the market. As well, state-owned salt companies have been urged to increase their supply.Facing expanding market demand, distribution centers like this one in Beijing have taken extra measures to ensure they are well-prepared.Wang Yun, Beijing Salt Industry Corporation, said, "Our storage reserves can guarantee a two-month supply for the Beijing market."And measures are being taken to prevent panic buying. Health authorities and experts have begun informing the public that the rumor of salt's protection against radiation is "totally unfounded". The public is being urged to be more rational when buying salt.vivi笔记：nuclear crisis：核危机radiation exposure：辐射暴露nuclear fallout：核辐射ward off：避开，防止radiation poisoning：辐射中毒iodized salt：碘盐panic buying：疯狂抢购state-owned：国营的，国有distribution centers：配送中心Beijing Salt Industry Corporation：北京盐业总公司totally unfounded：毫无根据People are no longer satisfied with the domestic boom of China's culture industry. From movies, to stage performances even to Internet games, more and more cultural sectors are craving to leave their footprint on the world map.From early last year, a trove of Internet game companies in China have announced they are officially entering the overseas markets including Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea.One particular game named "Three Kingdoms" has been exported to Malays ia and Taiwan and hit the top spot on local charts of Internet game sales. When it was released in North America, the game was so popular that it raked in over 10 million U.S. dollars.In addition to exploring markets, many game producers in China also plunged into tailor making new products in accordance with various preferences in different countries.And it's not only Internet games riding the wave of international ambition. Chinese movies are also shown in more and more foreign countries, garnering a dedicated following worldwide.vivi笔记：culture industry：文化产业Three Kingdoms：三国top spot：榜首rake in：大捞一把，大赚一笔in accordance with：依据，按照Directions: Talk on the following topic for at least 5 minutes. Be sure to make your point clear and supporting details adequate. You should also be ready to answer any questions raised by the examiners during your talk. You need to have your name and registration number recorded. Start your talk with “My name is ...” “My registration number is ...”Read the following passages:The banquet for Chinese billionaires held by two of the richest Americans, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett is dubbed by local media as the Hongmen Banquet, a historical anecdote indicating a feast or meeting set up as a trap for the invited. Amid concerns that the hosts would pressure wealthy Chinese to donate to the Giving Pledge project they initiated in June to persuade US billionaires to leavemost of their wealth to charity, only a small number of Chinese businessmen had accepted their invitations to the dinner as of last week, which created a stir over the willingness of China's rich to give their money away for a good cause.A fierce debate has been ignited on the merits and difficulty of philanthropy and charity for the country's newly wealthy.Answer the following questions in your own words:Why is the banquet considered as the Hongmen Banquet? What are the merits and difficulties of philanthropy and charity? People's view towards donation varies widely in western countries and in China. What might be the reasons? 参考回答：The reason why the banquet is considered as the Hongmen Banquet is that all attendees are supposed to donate a large sum of their wealth to charity as the hosts of the banquet are Bill Gates and Warren Buffett who are the top philanthropists in the world. Both of the hosts have promised to give away their entire fortune after death, which is unthinkable in China, even for the country’s top billionaires.As for philanthropy and charity, Chinese people think differently compared to people from western countries. In most cases, Chinese people pass on all the money and property which they have strived for in their entire life to their descendents. And their descendents will accept them as if it is meant to be. While in western countries, donating to charity is not uncommon from average families to rich people, and many of them donate out of religious reasons. In Bible, there’s a story about a rich man who wants to go to heaven after death. The God says it might be possible if a camel can pass through the eye of a needle. Death with huge fortune leaving behind is humiliating in the view of many westerners. That’s why they’re generous in donating.Philanthropy and charity in China have seen fast development in recent years. They have helped an untold number of people by providing food, safe drinking water, and daily necessities to them. At the same time the mentality of benevolence has been extensively spread in our society. Despite the traditional way of passing down the fortune to one’s descendents, an increas ing number of people are willing to help others by donating part of their wealth. The younger generations are doing better, and philanthropy and charity in China are bound to thrive in the future.。

3.15高级口译听力SD真题＋答案+速记评析-口译笔译考试Spot-Dictation When Americans think about hunger, we usually think in terms of mass-starvation in far-away countries, but hunger too often lurks in our backyards. In 2006, 35.1million people, including 12.4million children in the United States did not have access to enough food for an active healthy life. Some of these individuals relied on emergency food sources and some experienced hunger. Although most people think of hungry people and homeless people as the same, the problem of hunger reaches far beyond homelessness. While the number of people being hungry or at the risk of hunger may be surprising, it is the faces of those hungry individuals that would probably most shock you. The face of hunger is the older couple who has worked hard for their entire lives, only to find their savings wiped out by unavoidable medical bills, or a single mother who has to choose whether the salary from her minimum wage job will go to buy food or pay rent, or a child who struggles to concentrate on his schoolwork because his family couldn’t afford dinner the night before. At December 2006 survey estimated that 48 percent of those requesting emergency food assistance, were either children or their parents. Children are twice as likely to live inhouseholds where someone experiences hunger and food insecurity than adults. One in ten adults compared to one in five children live in households where someone suffers from hunger and some food insecurity. Child poverty is more wide spread in the United States than in any other industrialized country. At the same time, the US government spends less than any industrialized country to pull its children out of poverty. We have long known that the minds and bodies of small children need adequate food to develop properly. But science is just beginning to understand the full extent of this relationship. As late as the 1980s, conventional wisdom held that only the most severe forms of malnutrition actually alter brain development. The latest empirical evidence however shows that even relatively mild under-nutrition produces cognitive impairments in children which can last a life time. 左边为答案，答案后附有参考缩写法单词复数，或过去式ed等小错误一般不扣分。
