PartB Passage 1: China, a country with a civilization of 5000 years, has contributed to the world its four major inventions, namely, the compass, gun-powder, paper-making and movable-type printing. Meanwhile, China has spread across the globe its knowledge and methods of traditional health care, for example, taijiquan boxing (or shadow boxing), static qigong breathing (or controlled deep breathing exercise) and therapeutic massage. // These health care methods are very effective not only in preserving physical health, but also in mental health and weight reduction. According to the theory of Chinese traditional medicine, maintaining a balance between the mind and the body and a harmonious state of balance between the yin and yang vital energy is essential for health. The practice of taijiquan and qigong is based on this theory. Passage 2: In the world today, as the economies of all countries and regions are closely interrelated, no country or region can develop in self-seclusion. The same is true with China. Therefore, we have taken it as a basic state policy to open wider to the outside world on the basis of self reliance. // A socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics is an open system with an open economy as its core. We will continue to improve the investment environment so that overseas investors will make profits. We are ready to assimilate and draw upon the science and technology and managerial experience that are useful to us. ⼝译题录⾳⽂字稿: Part A Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in English.

高级口译听力技巧全解高级口译听力技巧全解为了帮助大家更好去复习高级口译听力考试，店铺特地整理出了一些实用的技巧，欢迎您的查看!一、听力综述第一题为Spot Dictation (听写填空)，边听边填空，共有二十个空格，每格需要填 2 至 4 个词。

相对于家熟悉的学英语四六级听力测试中的Compound Dictation (复合式填空)，考生在中高级口译笔试部分的听力测试中的文章只会朗读一次，所以难度相对较高。

第二题为 Listening Comprehension (听力理解)，其中共有两道小题，第一小题为 Statements (陈述)，考查考生的同意置换能力，即听完一句 20 字左右的句子，在 12 秒内找出 4 个选项中意思最相近的。

另一小题为Talks Conversation (选择)，即听完段落或对话后进行4 道题的选择， 5 篇文章共 20 题。

第三题为 Note-Taking and Gap-Filling，后文当中会给出详解。

最后一道题为Listening Translation (听译)，当中包含5 句Sentence Translation (句子听译)及 2 段 Passage Translation (段落听译)，听完后考生一段时间作答。

其中句子听译时间间隔为 50 秒，段落听译时间间隔为 150 至 200 秒。

二、Spot Dictation (30%)1.评分标准(1) 拼写错误，但不影响理解的，如：intrest。

不扣分(2)每空格写对其中一半词的，给1分。

2. 注意事项做Spot Dictation要放弃两种期望：我可以听懂这篇文章的意思，我可以写全大部分的单词。

事实上考试中肯定做不到听懂文章意思，也没有必要，只需要在给定的格子里写下词组即可，而写全单词应该是听完后把答案抄到答题纸上时顺便完成的，那个时候短期记忆应该还没有完全消退，加上自己熟悉的书写习惯，再加“考试只需要60%”的心理暗示，过关是完全现实的。

听力原文：Section 1-Spot dictationSpot dictation:Today we will talk about what other effects watching TV might produce on children. Children should be discouraged from watching a lot of television. Many experts and parents agree. But there is at least one circumstance when that might be beneficial, muting pain. A recent study conducted by Italian researchers found that children who viewed cartoons immediately preceding and during blood tests experienced less pain than children whose mothers attempted to distract them during the procedure or children whose mothers were at present but did not interact with them.The research led by Carlo Brown MD at the University of Sienna is published in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. 69 children participated in the study. None received any type of anesthesia. The children and their mothers determine their pain scores. Both the groups whose mothers attempted to distract them form the blood tests and those whose mothers simply observed reported substantially higher pain ratings than the group who watched the cartoons. For that group, the levels of pain were less and the children were better able to tolerate the pain they did experience.One of the possible explanations is that children might have picked up on theirmothers anxiety during the procedures, exacerbating their perception of pain. The higher pain level reported by children during mothers’ efforts at distraction shows the difficulty mothers have in interacting positively at a difficult moment in their children’s life, the authors write. However, they stress that the mother’s presence still provided benefits, noting that the children would appreciate not being left alone during the procedures. Indeed, children state that having their parent present provides the most comfort when in pain, say the authors.Another possibility offered for consideration is the notion that the pleasure of watching TV might release pain-quelling endorphins. Endorphins, biochemical compounds produced by the pituitary gland resemble opiates in their ability to produce analgesia and a sense of well-being. In other words, they might function as natural pain killers. In any case, the study results suggest that health workers should consider allowing children to watch TV during painful procedures to minimize their distress.NewsQ1-5Female: Now let’s turn to eating habits. France is traditionally known as home of the two-hour, sit-down, mid-day meal, but nowadays it’s witnessing a boom in take-out sandwiches. At noon, customers line up outside Paris bakeries, waiting to buy long fan versions of a shrimp salad and fruit sandwich or other delicacies. The variation in eating habits is reflecting a deeper change in French society.Male: Right! It starts with the change in the workforce, so it’s a feminization, white-collarization, if I can say so.Female: The result has been a revolution in one of France’s core industries, the bakery. Formerly, bakeries here offered a limited range of albeit excellent products about four kinds of bread, breakfast, and dessert pastries. Now that’s just the start.Male: Au Pair Gourmet , a bakery on the corner of a market street, is in the ordinary working class area of Paris. It is eight in the morning, and the owner already has the slicer going, cutting bread for lunch sandwiches.Female: Every morning Au Pair Gourmet, with its glass cases stacked full, does so much sandwich business. The owner says she is just responding to the demands. She even tried making a four-course sandwich meal. It was a bit much for people to swallow.Male: Nowadays, people want to eat faster at noon, and leave earlier at the end of the day. Life is changing. We have to keep up. The changes include women making up almost half the labor force now, and men more likely to be working behind a jack hammer, not needing to eat so much.Female: They also have to pick up the children as early as possible from the day care center.Male: So basically, they look for something that’s very close to what is called fast food, and the interesting point is that the supply that has developed goes well beyond your basic MacDonald’s hamburgers.Female: For example. Au Pair Gourmet’s multi-shaped, multi-content sanwiches. They are obviously a hit with the lunch time customers who line up all the way onto the sidewalk. They agree this recent phenomenon is growing. It’s exploding, this kind of eating. Every baker offers sandwiches.Male: Because before it was only with ham and butter, and now we have salad and tomatoes. Because we eat sandwich, but it’s French products in it. Female: French products in it. That may be the key. Instead of being overrun by MacDonald at some field, the French have adapted the idea of fast food and made it their own.Q1: What is the main topic of the conversation?Q2: What is the reason behind the revolution in the bakery industry?Q3: Which of the following statements best describes the fast food supplying in France now?Q4: Which of the following statements is true according to the conversation? Q5: Why are the hamburgers offered by bakery such as “Au Pair Gourmet” so popular now?Q6-10Paris, FranceA 68-year-old man has been arrested in France on suspicion of killing 18 people, most of them gay, prosecutors said today. Nicolas Panard is suspected of killing 11 people in the eastern Alsace region, four in a neighboring region and three in the Paris area, the public prosecutor in the eastern town of Montbeliard said. Panard, who is gay, was arrested in the eastern city of Mulhouse. The murders took place between 1998 and 2006.Tokyo, JapanJapan's Upper House of Parliament voted yesterday to halt the country's air force transport mission in Iraq, intensifying the opposition bloc's standoff with the government over Tokyo's role in peacekeeping missions abroad.. The opposition-controlled Upper House approved the Democratic Party of Japan's bill to halt the mission in a vote 133-103 during a plenary session. However, the legislation is expected to be voted down when it goes to the more powerful Lower House where the ruling Liberal Democratic Party has enough votes to override the Upper Chamber's decision.United NationsDisaster-prone Bangladesh is among the countries most vulnerable to climate change, which could worsen water scarcity and force mass displacement, the United Nations said on Tuesday. The U.N. Development Program in its latest report warned that climate change will hit the world's poorest countries by breaking down agricultural systems, worsening water scarcity, increasing risksof diseases and triggering mass displacement due to recurring floods and storms. The report said more than 70 million Bangladeshis, 22 million Vietnamese, and 6 million Egyptians could be affected by globalwarming-related flooding.Washington, USUS President George W. Bush invited Israeli and Palestinian leaders to the White House to renew long-stalled peace talks yesterday but faced deep skepticism over chances for a deal before he leaves office. Bush would bring together Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas one day after a 44-nation conference where both pledged to try to forge a peace treaty by the end of 2008 that would create a Palestinian state. The White House talks were expected to wrap up three days of intense Middle East diplomacy that underscored Bush's aim of achieving in his final 14 months in office what has eluded US administrations for decades.Toronto, CanadaOnline shoppers reached a record this week as Canadian retailers cut prices as much as 60 percent to lure shoppers returning to work after the Thanksgiving holiday. ComScore Inc. said sales on retailers' websites rose 21% to $733 million on Nov. 26, the first Monday after Thanksgiving, as , Best Buy Co. and Circuit City Stores Inc. ran online promotions for high-definition televisions and leather jackets. Shoppers sought bargains in the face of rising gasoline prices and the worst housing slump since at least 1991. Companiescount on November and December for 20% of their profits, and they used lower prices to get consumers into stores and onto websites to start the Canadian holiday shopping season.Question 6: How many people were Nicolas Panard suspected to have killed when he was arrested?Question 7: What did Japan's Upper House of Parliament vote to do yesterday? Question 8: There might be several disastrous consequences due to global climate change. Which of the following is NOT one of these consequences mentioned in the news?Question 9: Why did President Bush invite Israeli and Palestinian leaders to the White House?Question 10: What percentage did sales on retailers' websites increase on Nov. 26, the first Monday after Thanksgiving?Q11-15W: Tomas, because you are a lawyer, I want to get you opinion about crime control, and what I'd like to know is what do you think really works, not for hardened criminals, but for first time offenders?M: Well, you are asking me a pretty complex question. The first step of course is deterrence, to stop people from committing crimes in the first place. Thatinvolves the economy, are there enough jobs for everyone? They should be, and social structure. Are there enough support systems? And so on.W: And what about when people are convicted, and put in Prison?M: Then the goal should be to have rehabilitation programs inside prisons, so that when the person comes out, they don't return to a life of crime. The problem is that recently, the kinds of programs that existed in the past, like education programs and drug treatment programs have been cut. And so convicted criminals are not being rehabilitated.W: Can you explain a little more about these education programs and drug programs?M: Yes, in some states where the drug laws are very harsh, you end up having a lot of people in prisons, who are not the kingpins of drug deals, but who are actually drug addicts. The point is that they need help, that's why there need to be programs that have a psychological component, and an educational component. Because without these programs people don't became rehabilitated. The prisoners have a lot of time on their hands, and a culture developed inside the prison; it takes on a life of its own, and gang start. You see gangs provide a family away from home, but we need to make prison a less repressive experience. Then we also need bridge programs.W: Bridge programs?M: Yes, for when they come out of prison, what is clear statistically is that most criminals are recidivists. That means they are repeated offenders. People go into prison, get out and go right back in again. Bridge programs help with housing and jobs. So that society doesn't look at released prisoners in such a disdainful way. And So that no stigma is attached to them once they reenter society. But unfortunately, there are only a very small number of these programs.Question 11: On what topic is the man being interviewed?Question 12: According to the man, there are several elements which are related to abduction in crime, which of the following is not one of these elements? Question 13: What problem is there inside prisons according to the interview? Question14: Which of the following statements is true about education and drug programs?Question15: According to the man, why is there a need for bridge programs?Q16-20Today let's talk about how to actually get a job. You need to be able to participate well in an interview because in most jobs you'll need to interact with colleagues and clients not only face to face but in telephone conversations too. You'll need to express yourself well and have excellent control of what you want to say and how to say it. These skills are needed more than ever in today's high-pressure world. Each company where you have an interview will expect you to know something about the work they do and have intelligent questionsand comments during the interview. And when they hire you, you will be expected to complete multiple tasks and be willing to move around and work in different areas of the company.Of course, there are also certain technological skills that are expected of people today. Every situation is unique, but let's take as an example a position in an office environment. This type of position requires basic to advanced knowledge of computer applications. You have to know how to write a simple but professional-looking letter and you have to know how to put together a presentation and Microsoft power-point with basic facts and organized data in a spread-sheet program. Advanced users should know how to create and organize a database.If you're looking for any type of administrator of work, you can forget about the good old days of paper calendars, roller desks and file cabinets. Now we have links to digital databases that store all the information that used to be kept on paper, such as appointments, clients, records and other important information. Many departments use spread-sheet programs to keep track of all transactions, costs and profits. These programs are essential to an organization's survival as well as your career's survival.Let's continue with our basic example of a typical job in an office. Now that you know about the skills necessary to be productive in the office of the 21st century, you must have a plan for how to acquire these skills. The first thing you should have in mind is that in the same manner that technology has become a vital part of a modern organization's life, it should also become part of yours. Whenevergiven a chance, you should enhance your key-board skills, E-mail your friends, practice with power-point, try making simple posters to announce an event, like a party or some activity that you and your friends will do together. You can even practice with pre-made data bases, by storing telephone numbers and addresses. The best advice I can give anyone is to play with the computer in your free time and become familiar with its operating system, software and hardware. Try to figure out what each program does and how to use it to your benefit. A computer class, on the level of your expertise, is also recommended to perfect those skills you learned on your own. Learning more advanced functions is highly recommended as well. It's easy to look through books and free editorials found on the Internet. Even office-users can learn how to create professional-looking flyers, business cards and other documents you'll need in the workplace.Q16: What is the main topic of this talk?Q17: Apart from being expected to complete multiple tasks and work in different areas of the company, what other skills are employees expected to have?Q18: If you take a position in an office, which of the following are you supposed to display?Q19: What's the advice the speaker gives at the end of his talk?Q20: Who are the most likely audience for this talk?SECTION 4NTGFI'm Diana Winston, a Cherokee medicine priest. I'd like to say something about the Cherokee beliefs regarding the environment and conservation. Basically Cherokee tradition tells us we are part of the nature and we depend on nature for our life. So we don't compete with it and we are not trying to tame it. We are trying to live with it. It's different from our contemporary view that nature exists for the benefit of people. We believe that we are part of what we call great life. And as part of the great life, we are as important as everything else, but certainly no more important than anything else. And we feel that within the great life, there are what we call the laws of nature. We believe that there are many laws of nature. But there are three great laws of nature. And those are the laws that tell us how we have to live in harmony with everything else.The first law of nature is that you don't take any life without a real reason. And a real reason would be for food, for medicine, for protection. Those would be the reasons for taking life. But basically life is sacred. So we shouldn't kill needlessly. That would absolutely include plants. We believe everything is alive. In fact, we believe stones are alive, trees are alive, plants are alive, animals are obviously alive. And so to us, taking the life of a plant is just as a grave responsibility as taking the life of an animal. And all of those things should be done in a sacred way and in a good way. So for instance, when you go to gather a plant, you don't want to go and say, "wow, here's a whole patch of plants." And go and gather them all. You gather a few and then you gather a few from another spot, leavingthe majority of the plants so that they can grow and continue to provide not only for themselves but for us and for our children and for their children.The second law is that everything we do should serve the great life. Well, what we mean is that we believe that there is one spirit that fills all things: humans, plants, rocks, whatever. And the some and all of that and more is what we call the great life. And so we all are a part of the same great life. And everything we do affects the great life. And everything that happens within the great life affects us. So it's very very important that within the second law of nature that what we do will not harm other parts of the great life. Well, I could give a lot of examples and on a very personal simple level. An example could be for instance. Lots of people might go out and get an electric toothbrush. Uh, maybe it works a little bit better. It certainly easier: the toothbrush does all the work for you. But I have a manual toothbrush and I've used one for my whole life. And it works just fine. To use the electricity necessary to power that electric toothbrush requires coal or nuclear power that harms the air. It harms the water. It harms the great life.The third law basically is that we don' t pollute where we live. And where we live is not just our home. It's not just our intimate small community. It's not just our country. It's this planet. This sacred altar we call the earth. We don't pool chemical waste down the stream because they all wind up in the water. So basically we don't pollute the earth.Well, it might seem a little difficult to live by those three laws today in this industrialized society. But the Cherokee didn't have a problem with plastic. Wedidn't have plastic. We didn't have a lot of the things that exist today. We still have a lot of options. There are small things that each of us can do. Things like recycling. Things like choosing what we buy and buying things carefully. There are other things we can do. Instead of using the car for every short trip to the store, save them up so we use the car as little as possible. We can do things like organic gardening. We can do things to create greater community within our communities. There are a lot of things that we can do to bring these laws into our lives. And alternately our lives really depend on these. The great life can live without us, but we can't live without the great life.句子听译原文和答案：1、The report notes that obesity can lead to potentially fatal health problems including diabetes, stroke and cancer. But unfortunately, the obesity epidemic in America is getting worse.报道指出，肥胖导致的健康问题有可能是致命的，如糖尿病、中风以及癌症。

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。

2010年秋季高级口译考试下半场听力完整文本+答案解析Note-taking and Gap-fillingToday my topic is cultures and traditional holidays.Holiday are special times of respite from work and other routines. Insome cases, they are legal holidays when stores, businesses and government offices are officially closed. In other cases, they are celebrated without taking time off from work. Holidays are often timesfor celebration, revelry, eating, drinking, travel, and family gatherings,but they may also be times of rest and reflection. The current trend isaway from rest and reflection, Even Mardi Gras, the day before the traditionally reflective period of Lent, has turned into an entire weekof parties, parades and merry-making for those who make the annual pilgrimage to New Orleans, for example.In most cultures the scheduling of holidays originally was related tothe seasons, the lunar cycle, and religion, Christmas (December 25) celebrates the birth of Jesus, but it is not actually known whether Jesus was born in the wintertime. The first Roman emperor to espouse Christianity decided to have Christmas when the days are shortest to bring a spirit of optimism to the long winter months. It alsohelped bring Christianity to the pagans, who were accustomed to having festivals at the winter solstice, encouraging warmth and sunshine to return. Over the years Christmas has come to symbolizegoodwill and generosity for both Christians and non-Christians through the personification of Santa Claus, originally a Christian saint,known as St,Nicholas. Nowadays Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is almost as important a global symbol of Christmas as Jesus or Santaand the commercialization of Christmas threatens to replace generosity with greed. Many people forget that the original Christmasgifts were given by the Three Wise Men, all pagans, to Jesus, a Jewishchild born in a manger. All they think of are the gifts they will give orreceive, and all the money they have spent.One reason for the increasing popularity of Christmas is its proximityto New Year’s Day, encouraging a long holiday to evolve out of both. Inthe U,S., the holiday has turned into an extended holiday season, lasting from Thanksgiving Day in late November until New Year’s Day,with a seemingly endless array of parties, dinners, concerts, parades,and vacation trips. The schools and colleges are closed from mid-December through early January while many people eat too much, drink too much, and watch too much American football on TV.Many gifts, cards, and annual newsletters are exchanged, and the various festivities are not always very restful. Then the same peoplemake New Year’s Resolutions to eat less, drink less, spend less, andwork harder in the coming year.Christmas is by far the most important holiday in English-speaking countries. Other important holidays in addition to Thanksgiving andNew Year’s Day are Valentine’s Day, St,Patrick’s Day, April Fools’ Day,and Easter. On Valentine’s Day, celebrated on February 14, people give cards, chocolates, flowers, and kisses to their spouses and sweethearts. On St,Patrick’s Day, March 17, people wear green to celebrate the luck of the Irish, and eat corned beef and cabbage washed down with green beer. During Easter Week in late March or early April, Christians remember the death and resurrection of Jesuswhile Jews celebrate Passover, in memory of the escape of the Jewsfrom ancient Egypt, where they had been slaves.

2022高级口译攻略高级口译分为两个部分——笔试和口试，且笔试通过才能参与口试。

下面我就和大家共享高级口译攻略，盼望能够关心到大家，来观赏一下吧。

高级口译攻略听力Listening听力(一)：Spot Dictation和Note-taking and Gap filling这两个大题都是考察速记力量的。

要求填空的内容都是听力文稿中的原话，但难点在于朗读者语速较快。

提高得分率最好的方法就是多听真题和模拟题。

一遍过后若没有都能听出，则再次播放直到能完全填出全部内容。

训练10篇以后，则只听一遍，模拟考试状态。

听力(二)：Listening Comprehension1. 高级口译的听力短文多数考察细节题，所以在听的过程中肯定要记笔记。

2. 由于听力的题目并未在卷子上呈现，所以我们可以从选项动身对问题有一个预判。

听力(三)：Passage Translation and SentenceTranslation1. 边听文章边把握文章大意与主旨2. 速记：记录数字，日期等，还有尽可能多的细节。

最终争取把登记来的点统统用上，串联成一篇文章。

3. 笔记：肯定要干净、有序、条理分明。

否则文章内容的先后次序会受到很大的影响。

4. 用词要简洁直白阅读Reading阅读(一)选择1. 高口的文章相对较长，所以推举的做题方法是先看题后去文章找相关句子。

2. 针对不同题型的不同解法，这里就不赘述了。

(详细要结合题目，可以参考《高级口译笔试备考精要》)3. 高口的词汇远超六级。

应试者最好能背完专四。

若能背完专八，则更为稳妥。

阅读(二)问答题1. 圈画。

问答题的题目较为直白，但是需要回答的内容特别特别多，而且经常涉及好几段的内容，所以肯定要在文章中划出重点。

2.概括与总结。

抄原句费时费劲，而且会使答案缺少层次与规律。

所以肯定要对原文进行概括与整合。

翻译Translation1. 娴熟把握《中高级口译口试词汇必备》上的内容2. 在英译中的过程中若遇难词，先考虑通过上下文推想语境义，不行则跳过。
