Passage Translation E-C 1A person's age no longer tells you anything about his or her social position, marriage or health. There's no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that keeps us on time and tells us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn't as strong as it used to be. It doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing. We start looking with surprised at old people who act in useful ways.【参考译文】一个人的年龄不再能够说明他或她的社会地位、婚姻以及健康状况。

9 月英语高级口译真题+ 答案(4)SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (30 minutes)Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.A proposal to change long-standing federal policy and deny citizenship to babies born to illegal immigrants on U.S. soil ran aground this month in Congress, but it is sure to resurface-kindling bitter debate even if it fails to become law.At issue is “ birthright citizenship -pr〞ovided for since the Constitutio n' s14th Amendment was ratified in 1868. Section 1 of that amendment, drafted with freed slaves in mind, says: “ All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subj to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States. 〞Some conservatives in Congress, as well as advocacy groups seeking to crack down on illegal immigration, say the amendment has been misapplied over the years, that it was never intended to grant citizenship automatically to babies of illegal immigrants. Thus they contend that federal legislation, rather than a difficult-to-achieve constitutional amendment, would be sufficient to end birthright citizenship.“ MostAmericans feel it doesn 'mt ake any sense for people to come into the country illegally, give birth an d have a new U.S. citizen, 〞said the spokesman of th federation of American immigration reform. “ But the advocates for illegal immi will make a fuss; they ' lcllaim you ' repunishing the children, and I suspect the leadership doesn ' t want to deatlhwaitt.h 〞SECTION 4: LISTENING TEST (30 minutes)Part A: Note-taking and Gap-fillingDirections: In this part of the test you will hear a short talk.

9月上海英语翻译资格高级口译听力真题完整版Part A: Spot DictationWas it envisioned for the euro to eventually become such a strong currency that it could compete with the dollar on a global level? Or was that a dream then and is it still a dream now?I think it was an attainable dream, and it is becoming actually, in some ways, less attainable right now.You may ask why?Well, the dream to give credit where credit is due was not only advocated by some European officials but by some American economists, including our Institute’s director, Fred Bergsten, who was way out in the front with that. Richard Portes, who teaches at London Business School, also was way out in front with that. And they were very much against the tide of people like Martin Feldstein and others in London and the United States who were very skeptical towards the euro.At face value, the euro area is the same size in GDP as the United States, roughly speaking. The euro area does have very large and deep financial markets, although the more you look in detail, there are still some things there that differentiate it from the United States. And the euro area has delivered price stability. They have a very low rate of inflation pretty consistently. So you put those three things together, on paper it looks like the euro should be at least a very clear second to the dollar in investor’s portfolios, in government reserve holdings, in how much you invoice trade like oil or planes or things like that.But what our research finds in this book -- in particular in good chapters by Kristin Forbes and Linda Goldberg -- is the fact that if you look under the hood a bit, there is ahuge shortfall between what you would expect just based on size and how much the euro is used. So there’s an awful lot of trade that’s still invoiced in dollars, not in euros, even between countries that are not dollar countries. There are huge amounts of financial flows that come to the United States, and the depth of European assets and financial flows is not commensurate with the size.【解析】本文节选自Growing Pains for the Euro。

2013年9月上海市高级口译第二阶段口试真题试卷（精选）(题后含答案及解析)题型有： 2. 口译题口译题Part A Directions: In 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 it at the signal...You may take notes while you are listening. Remember you will hear the passages ONLY ONCE. Now let us begin Part A with the first passage.听力原文：Higher education is more than a vocational or technical training. The essential purpose of it has never been about “usefulness”in a narrow sense of acquiring a specific, practical tool so as to make oneself marketable. In the words of my late college professor of philosophy, the purpose of higher education is for students to become broadly acquainted with cultural traditions and deeply appreciate them, so that it may help us become responsible citizens and good people in general. It is also about love—learning what one loves for the love of learning. Hence, it is “gloriously useless. “ As for me, there was no way of knowing which major or degree was going to be “useful. “And since then, everything around me is constantly changing. I have long forgotten the details of what I absorbed in classrooms and libraries. I did, however, learn how to think for myself, and that is invaluable in the workplace and outside of it.1．Passage 1正确答案：高等教育不仅仅是职业或技术培训，其基本目的从来就不是一味地传授狭义上“有用的东西”，也就是让学生获得专门的实用技能，使他们能进人职场。

2011年9月高级口译上半场听力真题文本及音频，考生千万不可错过哦！Listening Comprehension 1W：We heard up there that if you are turned down the first time, you try and persevere, but I can’t imagine going back to a boss after you have been turned down.M：Don’t give up. It’s so important not to give up. The first thing that you wanna do is try to understand what the situation is, engage in some candid conversation. I understand that you weren’t happy with my proposal or you are not able to approve it at this time. Tell me what some of your concerns are, because asking for a change in schedule is often about negotiation. So, maybe we can come up with some type of alternative or middle ground, and if that’s not possible right now, let’s set a timetable for when we can revisit it, because what’s not possible today, could be plausible in 3 or 6 months from now, because circumstances and attitudes change. So don’t give up.W：Right! You don’t have to be a pest.M：That’s right.W：But just don’t give up quietly. OK. We hear bosses saying,” I can’t have people just wake up one day and say, ‘I need more time off’”, what are they really saying?M: That’s right. You can’t walk in and just make those demands. The bottom line is bosses really do want us to be happy, but not at the expense of productivity. And any type of a change in schedule, any type of flexibility, really, is an accommodation, not an entitlement, and so it doesn’t matter why I am asking, whether it’s “I am a mom, and I need more time with my kids.” or “I am a dad who wants to coach a soccerteam.” It doesn’t matter what my reasons are for asking. I have to be able to convince the boss that I’m gonna produce results.W: That’s one of these reasons you should say over and over again. Don’t go in with the pressing problem. Go in with the pressing solution.M: Solutions really are your way to victory, not always. But you are definitely not gonna succeed, if you go in with a laundry list of problems. If I come and I say: “I’m so sick of my commute. I really have to work from home one day a week.”W: But maybe the most skepticism raised by bosses is about the fact that you’re really gonna do as much or even more work. How do you convince your boss that you mean it that more work will be done. How do you convince and then show them.M: Offer benchmarks. It’s the best solution that you can provide. Because you are gonna say here is the proposal that I have. And here is how we’re gonna measure the results. Because I know results are important to you, and are important to me, too. So maybe we’re gonna have a conversation for 50 minutes every two weeks. So that we understand how the flow of communication is working. And if you are not happy, or I’m not happy, we have the ability to make changes along the way.W: Right.M: Flexibility is the key. In terms of getting these special accommodations, because I might say I want to work from home every Friday. But you know what? If there is a pressing business need, I will swap days. I will be here on that Friday，and so being flexible with this arrangement, with this propose change of schedule. Hopes you get control of your life, and keep the boss happy.Q1 What are the two people talking about?Q2 What is the bottom line for the bosses on the matter according to the man?Q3 What is the best solution to the issue being discussed in the conversation? Q4 Which of the following statements is true according to the conversation? Q5 What is the relationship between the two speakers most probably?。

senior-friendly products．They knew they were making history when they coined their company motto : "Of the elderly, by the elderly and for the elderly．" They do not hire young people, and the oldest of their workers is 75．Firms run by senior citizens are still a rarity, in Japan and worldwide．But the elderly have numbers on their side．Healthier and longer-living seniors, born immediately after World War II,are reaching retirement age in huge numbers all over the developed world．Extremely low birthrates in those same countries mean there are far fewer young workers to take their place．One likely con-sequence is now clear: shrinking work forces．While the streamlining effects of international competition are focusing attention on the need to create and keep good jobs, those fears will eventually give way to worries about the growing short-age of young workers．One unavoidable solution: putting older people back to work, whether they like it or not．Indeed, advanced economies like those of Finland and Denmark have already raised their retirement ages．Others are under severe pressure to follow suit, as both the European Com-mission and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development have recently warned their members that their future prosperity depends on a growing contribution from the elderly．Whether these changes are good or bad news to workers depends on whether they anticipate retirement with eagerness or dread．In the United States, half of working-age Americans now expect to work into their 70s, whether by financial necessity or by lifestyle choice, according to a new study by Putnam Investments．Contrary to still widespread assumptions, there is very little hard evidence to suggest that com-panies cannot stay competitive with a rising share of older workers．At 13ritish hardware chain B&Q, its "elder worker" stores in Manchester and Exmouth were 18 percent more profitable than its regular outlets--due in part, the company says, to six times less employee turnover and 60 per-cent less shoplifting and breakage．46、Jeeba' s difference from a conventional company mainly lies inA．the age of its employeesB．the number of its ownersC．the quality of its productsD．the scope of its operations47、In the developed world, compared with young people, the elderlyA．are better at businessB．are greater in numberC．have healthier lifestylesD．have more job opportunities48、According to the writer, in the current situation companies are faced with the tough task ofA．creating good positionsB．employing retired workersC．filling vacant positionsD．replacing unskilled workers49、For future prosperity, many European countries will have toA．increase the number of young workersB．offer many senior-friendly jobsC．improve services for seniorsD．raise their retirement ages50、B&Q' s "elder worker" stores are mentioned to show that the employment of older work-ersA．does not reduce a company' s competitivenessB．does not affect older workers' lifestyle ChoicesC．is not a usual practice among competitive firmsD．is not good news to those who are eager to retire根据下列材料，请回答51-65题：Here' s how I want to watch the 2014 Winter Olympics．I want to go to a Web site to see any event I want, whenever I want to watch it, on whatever screen I choose．I' 11 gladly pay．The technology exists to make this happen today．Yet nearly two decades after the introduction of the World Wide Web, this remains a fantasy．NBC, which broadcasted the Vancouver Olympics in the United States, wouldn' t put videos on its Web site until they had been shown on prime-time TV．So Americans had the weird experience of learning from a news report during the day that something fantastic had just happened, and then having to wait until that night' s broadcast to see it．Bloggers complained, but NBC wouldn' t give way．Its research shows that people like me, who want to watch the Olympics online, represent only 7 percent of the total audience．The other, bigger concern is: the Internet doesn' t deliver any money．Advertisers remain willing to pay big money to show their commercials on prime-time TV．But onthe Internet? Not so much．So NBC clings to the old way of doing things．As it sees it, the prime-time show is the most important．To make matters worse, NBC was already expecting to lose $ 250 million on the 2010 Vancouver Games．Good luck persuading it to invest in a risky Web project．It's easy to blame the network executives．But the NBC guys and their like are only doing what makes sense．They're going where the money is．That needs to change．Yes, selling reporting of Olympic events over the Internet would drain away some of the prime-time audience, but my sense is many of the online subscribers would still watch the prime-time show．And over time, the subscription dollars could become a substantial rev- enue stream．Instead of viewing the Internet as a threat to prime time, the TV networks should see the Web as a way to sell even more of their product to a small but passionate subset of their audi-ence．I' m hoping that by 2014, that will have changed．51、According to the writer, watching the Olympics online as one likesA．is technologically impossibleB．is still denied to the audienceC．has been a dream for 20 yearsD．will no longer be free in 201452、We learn that what Americans saw about the Vancouver OlympicsA．was unavailable onlineB．differed from the newsC．seemed weird to themD．was first shown on TV53、Bloggers complained about NBC' sA．neglect of those in the minorityB．excessive online advertisementsC．delay in providing videos onlineD．limited reporting on sports news54、After the 2010 Vancouver Games, NBC is likely toA．improve its prime-time showB．continue its current practiceC．raise its price for advertisingD．try its luck in a web program55、The writer thinks the TV networks should view the Web as a potential to help them toA．make dramatic profitsB．develop new productsC．satisfy their subscribersD．divide prime-time revenues根据下列材料，请回答56-70题：One important thing during the pre-Christmas rush at our house was the arrival of my daughter' s kindergarten report card．She got high praise for her reading, vocabulary and overall en-thusiasm．On the other hand, we learnt that she has work to do on her numbers and facility with the computer, though the detailed handwritten report her teachers prepared is absent of any words that might be interpreted as negative in describing her efforts．A number system indicates how she' s measuring up in each area without any mention of passing or failing．All of which seems to make my daughter' s school neither fish nor fowl when it comes to the debate over the merits of giving formal grades to kids．At one level, the advantages and disadvanta-ges are obvious．A grade system provides a straightforward standard by which to measure how your child is progressing at school--and how he or she is getting on compared to other children．But as writer Sue Ferguson notes, "Grades can deceive．" The aim should be "to measure learning, not simply what a student can recall on a test．" The two aren' t the same--and if you doubt that as an adult, ask yourself whether you could sit down without any preparation and still pass those high-school-level examinations．If you' re old enough, you' ve lived through this debate before．At one time, it was considered unfair to put children in direct competition with one another if it could be avoided．The inten-tion behind tha．t may have been good, but it ignored the fact that competition, and the will to come out on top, are essential components of the human condition．This time around, educators working with a no-grades approach are emphasizing different rea-sons．The thing is, that approach is much more commonplace in the adult workplace than is the tra-ditional pass-fail system we place on our children．Many workplaces conduct regular employee eval-uations．There are usually fairly strict limits to what an employer can tell an employee in those eval-uations-and even then, negative evaluations can be challenged by the employee．No matter where you sit in the debate over the grade system, then, the real question is this: if it' s so good for kids, why isn't that also true for adults?56、The school report indicates that the writer' s daughterA．lacks interest in her school workB．ranks among the best at languageC．has some trouble with her handwritingD．needs to improve in math and computer skills57、We can learn that the girl' s school tries to deliver the
