2020下半年翻译资格考试二级笔译练习题汇总
2020下半年翻译资格考试二级笔译练习题汇总没有付出,就没有收获,人只有上坡路才是最难走的,今天给大家带来了2020下半年翻译资格考试二级笔译练习题,希望能够帮助到大家,下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。
2020下半年翻译资格考试二级笔译练习题残雪断想岑桑残雪不甘沦落,东一堆,西一堆,在那坑坑洼洼的地方,还积得老深,散发出令人战栗的寒气。
所以,你还不相信隆冬已尽,春天已经来临了吗?那时候,朔风凛冽,周天寒彻,我们这个世界埋在坚冰底下,气息奄奄。
人间是喑哑的,欢乐和树林一起凋零了。
希望蜷伏在冻土的深处冬眠;生活的光彩都已褪尽,歌声都已隐没,只有叹息,只有风声和寒鸦的啼叫。
人们心都碎了,神经都麻木了。
绿色的信念随着枯枝败叶慢慢地枯萎,如果说世界还有鲜丽的色彩留存,指的也许就是雪原之上的斑斑血迹了。
那简直是一个漫长的冰川时期呵!长夜里,人们习惯于在苦寒和无望中生活,以致到了冰消春暖的时光,对于时序的迁流,竟还有人木然不敢置信。
莫非正是因为这样,你才不相信春光就在眼前?残雪不甘逝去,这里一摊,那里一摊;在那背着阳光的角落.还积得很厚,发出咄咄逼人的余威。
所以,你还不承认隆冬已尽,春天已经来临了吗?那时候,千里冰封,万里雪飘,我们这个世界委实凝结得太久太久了。
人们屈处于冰雪的淫威之下,痛苦地期待着、期待着。
对于春天的渴望,使他们焦灼得快要撕裂自己的胸膛。
啊,什么时候,才有彩蝶蹁跹,才见群莺飞舞?什么时候呵,才让繁花竞放,树木葱茏,蜂房酿满蜜汁,人心注满情谊……美丽的期待,在人们心怀里跳荡不安;因为生活荒凉已久,谁也难以继续忍受了。
人们祈求一夜之间冰化雪消,花繁叶茂;而坚冰毕竟太厚,最初的春色毕竟还不够浓艳。
现实并无点化而成的奇迹,得以满足人们可以理解的迫切心愿,以致到了飞燕衔泥的时光,竟还有人感觉不到如今已是换了人间。
莫非正是由于这样,你才不承认春光就在眼前?残雪以它白皑皑的回光,刺痛我们的眼睛;然而它正在崩溃,再也堆不起几个雪罗汉了。

In every society, some punishments or negative sanctions are established for deviant behavior. Without deviant behavior there would not be need for social control and without social control there would not be a way of recognizing the boundary between the acceptable and the unacceptable.Social control may be either formal or informal. Informalmechanisms include expressions of disapproval by significant others and withholding of positive rewards for disapproved behavior. Most people internalize norms in the course of socialization. This is any group' s most powerful protection against deviance, in that the individual J s own conscience operates as an agent of social control. When informal sanctions fail, formal agents of social control may be called upon. In contemporary society, such formal agents and agencies include psychiatry and other mental health professions; mental hospitals; police and courts of law; prisons; and social welfare agencies. All these formal agents function to limit, correct, and control violation of norms. Conflict theorists would also point out that social control agents and systems tend, in any society, to serve the interests of powerful groups and to enforce the norms most beneficial to those who make the rules and who, therefore, define unacceptable behavior.Social control, whether formal or informal, has a dual function. First, it punishes the wrongdoer and reaffirms the boundaries of acceptable behavior. Second, and less recognized, it regulates the manner in which deviants are treated.1.Social control refers to processes by which.A.norms are developedB.norms are enforcedC.people are educated and trainedD.people are rewarded and punished2.Every society has its own.A.planned systemsB.controlled normsC.recognized boundaryD.established sanctionsrmal mechanisms of social control include the following EXCEPT.A. a high level of interest in ensuring conformityB.expression of disapproval by significant othersC.withholding of positive rewards for the deviantsD.people' s internalization of norms in socialization4.The most powerful protection against deviance is.A.negative sanctionsB.severe punishmentsC.the individuaT s conscienceD.unrestrained suppression5.Formal agents of social control include the following EXCEPTA.police stationsB.mental hospitalsC.welfare agenciesD.vocational schools6.The purpose of formal agents is to.A.make beneficial rulesB.preserve social ordersC.control violation of normsD.define acceptable behavior7.Which statement about social control agents is NOT true?A.They tend to serve the interest of those who enforce the norms.B.They tend to serve the interest of those who receive a benefit.C.They tend to serve the interest of those who make the rules.D.They tend to serve the interest of those who are powerful.8.According to conflict theorists, social control agents and systems are.A.liberalB.partialC.neutralD.overall9.In the third paragraph, u a dual function n refers to.A.formal and informalB.rewards and penalitiesC.approval and disapprovalD.clarification and regulation10.The perspective from which the author discusses social control is.A. biologicalB. sociologicalC. psychologicalD. anthropological参考答案:1-5 BADCD 6-10 CBBDB维护世界和平,促进共同发展,谋求合作共赢,是各国人民的共同愿望,也是不可抗拒的当今时代潮流。

英语翻译二级笔译实务模拟试题及答案解析(4)
英语翻译二级笔译实务模拟试题及答案解析(4)(1/2)Section ⅠEnglish-Chinese TranslationTranslate the following two passages into Chinese.Part A Compulsory Translation第1题If a heavy reliance on fossil fuels makes a country a climate ogre, then Denmark—with its thousands of wind turbines sprinkled on the coastlines and at sea—is living a happy fairy tale. Viewed from the United States or Asia, Denmark is an environmental role model. The country is "what a global warming solution looks like," wrote Frances Beinecke, the president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, in a letter to the group last autumn. About one-fifth of the country's electricity comes from wind, which wind experts say is the highest proportion of any country. But a closer look shows that Denmark is a far cry from a clean-energy paradise.The building of wind turbines has virtually ground to a halt since subsidies were cut back. Meanwhile, compared with others in the European Union, Danes remain above-average emitters of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. For all its wind turbines, a large proportion of the rest of Denmark's power is generated by plants that burn imported coal.The Danish experience shows how difficult it can be for countries grown rich on fossil fuels to switch to renewable energy sources like wind power. Among the hurdles are fluctuating political priorities, the high cost of putting new turbines offshore, concern about public acceptance of large wind turbines and the volatility of the wind itself."Europe has really led the way," said Alex Klein, a senior analyst with Emerging Energy Research, a consulting firm with offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts.Some parts of western Denmark derive 100 percent of their peak needs from wind if the breeze is up. Germany and Spain generate more power in absolute terms, but in those countries wind still accounts for a far smaller proportion of the electricity generated. The average for all 27 European Union countries is 3 percent.But the Germans and the Spanish are catching up as Denmark slows down. Of the thousands of megawatts of wind power added last year around the world, only 8 megawatts were installed in Denmark.If higher subsidies had been maintained, he said, Denmark could now be generating close to one-third—rather than one-fifth—of its electricity from windmills.下一题(2/2)Section ⅠEnglish-Chinese TranslationTranslate the following two passages into Chinese.Part A Compulsory Translation第2题This week and next, governments, international agencies and nongovernmental organizations are gathering in Mexico City at the World Water Forum to discuss the legacy of global Mulhollandism in water—and to chart a new course.They could hardly have chosen a better location. Water is being pumped out of the aquifer on which Mexico City stands at twice the rate of replenishment. The result: the city is subsiding at the rate of about half a meter every decade. You can see the consequences in the cracked cathedrals, the tilting Palace of Arts and the broken water and sewerage pipes.Every region of the world has its own variant of the water crisis story. The mining ofgroundwaters for irrigation has lowered the water table in parts of India and Pakistan by 30 meters in the past three decades. As water goes down, the cost of pumping goes up, undermining the livelihoods of poor farmers.What is driving the global water crisis? Physical availability is part of the problem. Unlike oil or coal, water is an infinitely renewable resource, but it is available in a finite quantity. With water use increasing at twice the rate of population growth, the amount available per person is shrinking—especially in some of the poorest countries.Challenging as physical scarcity may be in some countries, the real problems in water go deeper. The 20th-century model for water management was based on a simple idea: that water is an infinitely available free resource to be exploited, dammed or diverted without reference to scarcity or sustainability.Across the world, water-based ecological systems—rivers, lakes and watersheds—have been taken beyond the frontiers of ecological sustainability by policy makers who have turned a blind eye to the consequences of over-exploitation.We need a new model of water management for the 21st century. What does that mean? For starters, we have to stop using water like there's no tomorrow—and that means using it more efficiently at levels that do not destroy our environment. The buzz-phrase at the Mexico Water forum is "integrated water resource management." What it means is that governments need to manage the private demand of different users and manage this precious resource in the public interest.上一题下一题(1/2)Section ⅡChinese-English TranslationThis section consists of two parts, Part A—"Compulsory Translation" and Part B— "Choice of Two Translations" consisting of two sections "Topic 1" and "Topic 2".

Bank balances are suddenly reported to have jumped from $379 into the millions, appeals for charitable contributionsare mailed over and over to people with crazy sounding names at your address, department stores send the wrong bills, utility companies write that they're turning everything off, that sort of thing. If you manage to get in touch with someone and complain,you then get instantaneously typed, guilty letters from the same computer, saying, "Our computer was in error, and an adjustment is being made in your account."These are supposed to be the sheerest, blindest accidents. Mistakes are not believed to be the normal behavior of a good machine. If things go wrong, it must be a personal, human error, the result of fingering, tampering a button getting stuck, someone hitting the wrong key. The computer, at its normal best, is infallible.I wonder whether this can be true. After all, the whole point of computers is that they represent an extension of the human brain, vastly improved upon but nonetheless human, superhuman maybe. A good computer can think clearly and quickly enough to beat you at chess, and some of them have even been programmed to write obscure verse. They can do anything we can do, and more besides.It is not yet known whether a computer has its own consciousness, and it would be hard to find out about this. When you walk into one of those great halls now built for the huge machines, and standing listening, it is easy to imagine that the faint, distant noises are the sound of thinking, and the turning of the spools gives them the look of wild creatures rolling their eyes in the effort to concentrate, choking with information. But real thinking, and dreaming, are other matters. On the other hand, the evidence of something like an unconscious, equivalent to ours, are all around, in every mail. As extensions of the human brain, they have been constructed the same property of error, spontaneous, uncontrolled, and rich in possibilities.51. The title of the writing "To Err Is Human" implies thatA. making mistakes is confined only to human beings.B. every human being cannot avoid making mistakes.C. all human beings are always making mistakes.D. every human being is born to make bad mistakes.52. The first paragraph implies thatA. computer errors are so obvious that one can hardly prevent it from happening.B. the computer is so capable of making errors that none of them is avoidable.C. computers make such errors as miscalculation and inaccurate reporting.D. Computers can't think so their errors are natural and unavoidable.53. The author uses his hypothesis that "computers represents an extension of the human brain" in order to indicate thatA. human beings are not infallible, nor are computers.B. computers are bound to make as many errors as human beings.C. errors made by computers can be avoided the same as human mistakes can be avoided.D. computers are made by human beings and so are their errors.54. The rhetoric the author employed in writing the third paragraph, especially the sentence "A good computer can think clearly and quickly enough to beat you at chess…" is usually referred to in writing asA. climaxB. personificationC. hyperboleD. onomatopoeia55. The author compared the faint and distant sound of the computer to the sound of thinking and regarded it as the product ofA. dreaming and thinkingB. some property of errorsC. consciousnessD. possibilitiesQuestions 56-60 are based on the following passage.The Frugal Gourmet Cooks Americanby Jeff SmithOur real American foods have come from our soil and have been used by many groups -- those who already lived here and those who have come here to live. The Native Americans already had developed an interesting cuisine using the abundant foods that were so prevalent.The influence that the English had upon our national eating habits is easy to see. They were a tough lot, those English, and they ate in a tough manner. They wiped their mouths on the tablecloth, if there happened to be one, and they ate until you would expect them to burst. European travelers to this country in those days were most often shocked by American eating habits, which included too much fat and too much salt and too much liquor. Not much has changed! And, the Revolutionists refused to use the fork since it marked them as Europeans. The fork was not absolutely common on the American dinner table until about the time of the Civil War, the 1860s. Those English were a tough lot.Other immigrant groups added their own touches to the preparation of our New World food products. The groups that came still have a special sense of self-identity through their ancestral heritage, but they see themselves as Americans. This special self-identity through your ancestors who came from other lands was supposed to disappear in this country. The term melting pot was first used in reference to America in the late 1700s, so this belief that we would all become the same has been with us for a long time. Thank goodness it has never worked. The various immigrant groups continue to add flavor to the pot, all right, but you can pick out the individual flavors easily.The largest ancestry group in America is the English. There are more people in America who claim to have come from English blood than there are in England. But is their food English Thanks be to God, it is not! It is American. The second largest group is the Germans, then the Irish, theAfro-Americans, the French, the Italians, the Scottish, and the Polish.

The "melting pot" finds it capable of melting all the food traditions into the American tradition.Questions 61-64 are based on the following passage."It's like being bitten to death by ducks." That's how one mother described her constant squabbles with her eleven-year-old daughter. And she's hardly alone in the experience. The arguments almost always involve mundane matters - taking out the garbage, coming home on time, cleaning up the bedroom. But despite its banality, this relentless bickering takes its adolescents - particularly mothers - report lower levels of life satisfaction, less marital happiness, andmore general distress than parents of younger children. Is this continual arguing necessaryFor the past two years, my students and I have been examining the day-to-day relationships of parents and young teenagers to learn how and why family ties change during the transition from childhood into adolescence. Repeatedly, I am struck by the fact that, despite considerable love between most teens and their parents, they can't help sparring. Even in the closest of families, parents and teenagers squabble and bicker surprisingly often - so often, in fact, that we hear impassioned recountings of these arguments in virtually every discussion we have with parents or teenagers. One of the most frequently heard phrases on our interview tapes is, "We usually get along but …"As psychologist Anne Petersen notes, the subject of parent-adolescent conflict has generated considerable controversy among researchers and clinicians. Until about twenty years ago, our views of such conflict were shaped by psychoanalytic clinicians and theorists, who argued that spite and revenge, passive aggressiveness and rebelliousness toward parents are all normal, even healthy, aspects of adolescence. But studies conducted during the 1970s on samples of average teenagers and their parents (rather than those who spent Wednesday afternoons on analysts' couches) challenged the view that family storm and stress was inevitable or pervasive. These surveys consistently showed that three-fourths of all teenagers and parents, here and abroad, feel quite close to each other and report getting along very well. Family relations appeared far more pacific than professionals and the public had believed.61. According to the passage, parents and teenagers are always at loggerheads with each other overA. the careless attitude of teenagers toward their parents' work pressure.B. who should take the lion's share of the housework.C. the finger-pointing attitude of the parents toward their children.D. disagreements on each other's behavioral patterns.62. The parents-children relationship changes from the relative positive to the relative negative whenA. the children reach 7 or 8 years of age.B. the children reach 13 or 14 years of age.C. the parents begin to have too many household responsibilities.D. the parents begin to feel there is too much burden in the house.63. Studies conducted during the 1970s on parents-children relationship indicated thatA. adolescence did not cause as much trouble as clinicians and theorists had stated.B. Children's aggressiveness and rebelliousness were growing.C. Children-parents relationship was declining.D. teenagers became even more abhorrent of their parents.64. The author's own discoveries from the day-to-day relationships of parents and young teenagers indicate thatA. storm and stress between the parents and the teenagers are normal.B. storm and conflicts are unavoidable.C. parents can never avoid the conflicts unless they love their children.D. parents' strictness lead to their children's disapproval of them.Questions 65-71 are based on the following passage.Questions of education are frequently discussed as if they bore no relation to the social system in which and for which the education is carried on. This is one of the commonest reasons for the unsatisfactoriness of the answers. It is only within a particular social system that a system of education has any meaning. If education today seems to deteriorate, if it seems to become more and more chaotic and meaningless, it is primarily because we have no settled and satisfactory arrangement of society, and because we have both vague and diverse opinions about the kind of society we want. Education is a subject which cannot be discussed in a void: our questions raise other questions, social, economic, financial, political. And the bearings are on more ultimate problems even than these: to know what we want in education we must know what we want in general, we must derive our theory of education from our philosophy of life. The problem turns out to be a religious problem.One might almost speak of a "crisis" of education. There are particular problems for each country, for each civilization, just as there are particular problems for each parent; but there is also a general problem for the whole of the civilized world, and for the uncivilized so far as it is being taught by its civilized superiors; a problem which may be as acute in Japan, in China or in India as in Britain or Europe or America. The progress (I do not mean extension) of education for several centuries has been from one aspect a drift, from another aspect a push; for it has tended to be。

中国梦是中国在历经千难万苦,走上发展正途后的必然追求和不懈目标。

(分数:20.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:()解析:China is:·a country of time-honoured civilization;·a country having gone through many hardships;·a socialist country with Chinese characteri stics;·the world"s biggest developing country;·and one undergoing profound changes.This portrayal of China may be very concise, but it is very precise. China is the largest developing country. It is where heritage meets dynamism. In the past three decades China has been working very hard to deliver reform and development.With memories of all the hardships behind us but never forgotten, China is committed to its chosen path towards national rejuvenation.With those factors in mind, it is quite easy to understand the "China Dream".It is all about where China pictures itself in the future.It is fundamentally about prosperity and renewal of China as a nation and better lives for every Chinese.To get where the Chinese people are today, China has gone through more than its share of trials and tribulations.To be where the Chinese people want to be in the future, China has to be unwavering in the pursuit of its commitment.It is also important to understand what the China Dream is not:·It is not a Chinese version of "Manifest Destiny".·It is not a Chinese edition of "Pax Britannica".·It is not a military ambition to seek revenge on past injustices.·It is not a plan to lock in resources, markets or benefit at other"s expense.The "China Dream", being none of those, is born with peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit written into its DNA.The "China Dream" is a concept with peace as its foundations. It is a conviction, which is muchlike air and sunshine, fundamentally existential but too often taken for granted.For the Chinese people, traumatic memories from foreign invasion and occupation make us value our peace and development today all the more. It is why China is such a champion of peace and opponent of war.Peace enables international cooperation and makes it possible for hard work to pay. That is how China has come this far during the past three decades.The "China Dream" is one of development, the wanting of which makes lasting peace untenable.2.在经济全球化背景下,亚洲各国的发展,不可能独善其身,也不应该是“零和博弈”,而是你中有我、我中有你的互利合作,能产生“一加一大于二”的叠加效应,甚至是“二乘二大于四”的乘数效应。

2020下半年翻译考试二级笔译模拟题美国的百万富翁都住在哪里?About 5.8 percent of the population – 7.2 million households – qualify as millionaires, meaning that they have at least $1 million laying around, excluding their real estate holdings, retirement plans and business partnerships.Kiplinger, publisher of business forecasts and personal finance advice, partneredwith Phoenix Marketing International to figure out how many millionaires live in 933 urban areas with populations of at least 50,000 residents.The Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk area of Connecticut takes the top spot. About 9 percent of its residents – 31,506 of the people who live there – can call themselves millionaires.Not only is this part of Connecticut close to New York City, but the enclave is also home to a number of hedge funds and prominent companies, including Priceline’s parent company, and the Xerox Corporation. These attributes are enough to givethis tony Connecticut locality an edge over Silicon Valley.The California regions of San Jose, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara, which includes Silicon Valley, comes in second with 61,264 millionaire households – 9 percent of all households. The area is home to some of the biggest tech companies in the world, and Google, Apple and Facebook are nearby.The nation’s capital slides into the third spot. Washington, D.C., and its suburbsdraw highly educated Americans looking for influential jobs. The 206,361 millionaire households in the region account for 8.9 percent of D.C.’s 2.3 million households. 2020下半年翻译考试二级笔译模拟题美墨达成新贸易协定U.S. President Donald Trump says the United States and Mexico have reached a trade agreement, leaving Canada as the odd man out in efforts to revise or replace the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).Speaking Monday from the White House, Trump said the new deal will be called the United States-Mexico Trade Agreement.Trump spoke to reporters as he spoke on the telephone to Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. Trump called it a big day for trade and a big day for the country. Trump said: “This is something that is very special for our manufacturers and for our farmers, from both countries, for all of the people that work for jobs. It is also great trade, and it makes it a much more fair bill, and we are very, very excited about it. We have worked long and hard, your representatives have been terrific, my representatives have been fantastic too. They have gotten along very well, and they have worked late into the night for months. It is an extremely complex bill, and it is something that I think will be talked about for many years to come.”The Mexican leader expressed hope to “renew, modernize and update” NAFTA while Trump’s rhetoric indicated he sees that 24-year-old three-nation deal as dead. Canada, an original member of NAFTA, is not part of this deal. Trump said the United States would start negotiating with Canada very shortly.Trump said under the deal, Mexico has agreed to immediately begin purchasing as many U.S. agricultural products as possible. The White House is also expected to formally notify Congress by the end of this week of its intention to sign a new trade agreement within 90 days.美墨达成新贸易协定美国总统特朗普说,美国和墨西哥已经达成了一项贸易协定,这使加拿大在修订或取代《北美自由贸易协定》(NAFTA)的努力中成了局外人。
二级笔译考试模拟题及答案
二级笔译考试模拟题及答案【试题一】The first outline of The Ascent of Man was written in July1969and the last foot of film was shot in December 1972. An undertaking aslarge as this, though wonderfully exhilarating, is not entered lightly. It demands an unflagging intellectual and physical vigour, a total immersion, which I had to be sure that I could sustain with pleasure;for instance, Ihad to put off researches that I had already begun; and I ought to explai-n what moved me to do so.There has been a deep change in the temper of science in thelast20 years: the focus of attention has shifted from the physical tothe life sciences. As a result, science is drawn more and more to the study of in-dividuality. But the interested spectator is hardly awareyet how far-reaching the effect is in changing the image of man that science moulds. Asa mathematician trained in physics, I too would have been unaware, had not a series of lucky chances taken me into the life sciences in middle age. I owe a debt for the good fortune that carried me into two seminal fields of science in one lifetime; and though I do not know to whom the debt is due, I conceived The Ascent of Man in gratitude to repay it.The invitation to me from the British Broadcasting Corporation was to present the development of science in a series of television programmes to match those of Lord Clark on Civilisation. Television isan admirable medium- for exposition in several ways: powerful and immediate to the eye, able to take the spectator bodily into the places and processes that are described, and conversational enough to make him conscious that what he witnesses are not events but the actions of people. The last of these merits is to my mind the most cogent, and it weighed most with me in agreeing to cast a personal biography of ideasin the form of television essays. The point is that knowledge in general and science in particular does not consist of abstract but of man-made ideas, all the way from its beginnings to its modern and idiosyncratic models. Therefore the underlying concepts that unlock nature must be shown to arise early and in the simplest cultures of man from his basic and specific faculties. And the development of science which joins them in more and more complex conjunctions must be seen to be equally human: discoveries are made by men, not merely by minds, so that they are aliveand charged with individuality. If television is not used to make these thoughts concrete, it is wasted.参考答案:不是因为我们害怕看到他会因失误而给他辉煌的生涯画上遗憾的一笔。

全国翻译专业资格〔水平〕考试英语二级笔译实务模拟试题Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉)This section consists of two parts, Part A - “Compulsory Translation“ and Part B - “Choice o f Two Translations“consisting of two sections “Topic1“ and “Topic2“.For the passage in Part A and your choice of passages in Part B, translate the underlined portions, including titles, into Chinese. Above your translation of Part A, write “Compulsory Translation“ and above yourtranslation from Part B, write “Topic 1“ or “Topic 2“ and wr ite your translations on the ANSWER S HEET (60 points, 100 minutes).Part A Compulsory Translation (必译题)〔30 points〕The Dreadlock DeadlockIn the fall of 1993 Christopher Polk transferred from FedEx”s hub in Indianapolis to take over a delivery route in Flatbush District, Brooklyn, N.Y. But moving to the country”s largest community of Caribbean and African immigrants only precipitated a far more profound journey.“I w as becoming culturally aware of the history of the black people,“ says Polk, now 31, “and that g ave me these spiritual questions.“ His answer came providentially, by way of a music video featuring Lord Jamal, who raps about the Rastafarian belief in the sanctity of dreadlocks - the c ords of permanently interlocked strands first worn by African chiefs perhaps 6,000 years ago.Now a practicing Rastafarian, Polk sports thick garlands that gently cascade onto his shoulders. “Your hair is your covenant,“ he says. “Once you grow your locks, it puts youon a p ath.“Unfortunately, that path was a colli sion course with Federal Express”s grooming policy, which requires men to confine their dos to “a reasonable style.“ After years of deliberation, Polk”s bosses gave him a choice: shear his locks or be transferred to a lower-paid job with no customer c ontact. He refused both options and was terminated in June 2022.His tale is not unique. Although Rastafarians number about 5,000 nationally, today dreadlocks, twists or braids are at the height of fashion, nearly as common as Afros were 30 years ago. If Afros symbolized militancy, dreads signal a more spiritual self-declaration, a figurative locking with African ancestors. As Stanford professor Kennell Jackson, who teaches a course called “African Coiffures and Their New World Legacies,“ puts it, “There”s a divinity to these locks.“Divine or not, some employers consider them unacceptably outré.Six other New York-area FedEx employees have lost their jobs because of dreadlocks. They have sued, alleging religious discrimination; the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and New York”s attorneygeneral h ave also charged FedEx with violating religious protections in the Civil Rights Act.The dreadlock deadlock may be easing. FedEx altered its policy slightly a few weeks ago: in the future, observant employees who seek a waiver may wear their locks tucked under uniform hats, says a company spokeswoman. The concession isn”t enough to settle the lawsuits yet. The EEOC also wants reinstatement for the fired drivers, says trial attorney Michael Ranis. He”s optimistic. Some new styles, he knows, grow more appealing over time.Part B Choice of Two Translations (二选一题)〔30 points〕Topic 1 (选题一)Eurasians: The New Face of AsiaFusion is in, not only as an abstract fashion concept, but in that most grounded of realities: mixed-blood people who walk, talk, and produce even more multiracial progeny. Most strange of all, these hybrids are finding themselves hailed as role models for vast masses in Asia with no mixed blood at all. “When I think of Asia, I don”t necessarily think of people who look likeme,“ says Declan Wong, a Chinese-Dutch-American actor and producer, “But somehow we”ve become the face that sells the new Asia.“So maybe Asia”s Eurasian craze is driven by the theories of that whitest of white men, economist Adam Smith. As the world gets smaller, we look for a global marketing mien, a one-size-fits-all face that helps us sell Nokia cell phones and Palmolive shampoo across the world.“For any business, you can”t think locally any more,“ says Paul Lau, general manager at Elite Model Management in Hong Kong, who has built up a stable of Eurasians for his internationally minded clients. “At the very least, you need to think regionally. Ideally, you should think globally.“ A global ima ge helps sell products, even if no one but Filipinos would ever wantto b uy duck-fetus eggs or Thais the most pungent variety of shrimp paste. Yanto Zainal, president o f Macs909, a boutique ad agency in Jakarta, used all indos for a campaign for the local Matahari department store chain. “The store wanted to promote a more cosmopolitan image,“ he says. “Indos have an international look but can still be accepted as Indonesian.“Channel V, the Asia-wide music television channel, was one of the first to broadcast the message of homogenized hybridism. “We needed a messenger that would fit in from Tokyo to the Middle East.“Says Jonnifer Seeto, regional sales marketing manager for the channel, which began beaming its border-busting images in 1994. Star Veejay Asha Gill personifies the global look. When asked what her ethnic heritage is, Gill, a Malaysian citizen, simply shrugs. “Oh,who knows,“she says. “I”m half Punjabi, mixed with some English, a little French and dribs and drabs of God knowswhat else.“ The 29-year-old speaks crisp British English, fluent Malay, and a smidgen of Punjabi. She grew up in a Kuala Lumpur neighborhood that was mostly Chinese, attended an English-speakingschool and was pals with Malay and Indian kids. Gill”s Channel V show, broadcast in English, has a strong following in Malaysia, Japan and the United Arab Emirates. “I”m Hitler”s worst nightmare,“ she s ays. “My ethnicity and profession make me a global person who can”t be defined in just one category.“Topic 2 (选题二)MatterLook at all the things around us: chairs, desks, cupboards, papers and pens in our classroom; motor cars, bicycles and buses in the streets; trees, plants and animals in the countryside; birds, aeroplanes and clouds in the sky; fishes, seaweeds and corals in the sea; stars, the moon andthe sun in outer space. These and all other things including the human body, are examples of matter. Matter is anything that takes up space and has weight.What is Matter Made of?Since ancient times, learned men or philosophers have thought about matter and what it is made up of. One group of philosophers thought that matter was made up of a substance called“hyle“(实质). Another group of philosophers said that matter was made up of four substances, namely e arth, water, air and fire. A third group believed that matter was made up ofvery tiny particleswhich were too small to be seen. These particles were so small that they could never be further divided into smaller particles. They gave t he particles the name atoms which means “those which c annot be divided.“The difference between the various kinds of atoms and the ways in which they were joined were supposed to result in the different kinds of matter.All these ideas arose purely from the mind and were not based on investigation. For many years, people believed in the second idea. But actually it is the third idea that is nearer to our present concept of matter.Dalton”s Atomic TheoryIn the early nineteenth century, Dalton, an English school teacher, stated in this atomic theory that matter was made up of tiny, indivisible particles, which he also called atoms. His laboratory work showedhim that atoms could neitherbe divided into smaller partsnor could they be destroyed. He pictured matter as being made up of tiny solid spherical atoms. Today the idea of the atoms has been accepted. But further work has shown that contrary to Dalton”s findings, atoms are made up of even smaller particles.Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (汉译英)This section consists of two parts, Part A -- “Compulsory Translation“ and Part B - “Choice o f Two Translations“consisting of two sections “Topic1“ and “Topic2“.For the passage in PartA and your choice of passages in Part B, translate the underlined portions, including titles, into English. Above your translation of Part A, write “Compulsory Translation“ and above your translation from Part B, write “Topic 1“ or “Topic 2“ and write your translations on the ANSWER S HEET (40 points, 80 minutes).Part A Compulsory Translation (必译题)〔20 points〕中国政府高度重视人口与进展问题,将人口与进展问题作为国民经济和社会进展总体规划的重要组成局部列入议事日程,始终强调人口增长与经济社会进展相适应,与资源利用和环境保护相协调。

2020下半年翻译资格考试二级笔译模拟题Schumpeter: Team SpiritBusinesses are embracing the idea of working in teams. Managing them is hard Teams have become the basic building-blocks of organisations. Recruitment ads routinely call for “team players”. Business schools grade their students in part on their performance in group projects. Office managers knock down walls to encourage team-building. Teams are as old as civilisation, of course: even Jesus had 12 co-workers. But a new report by Deloitte, “Global Human Capital Trends”, based on a survey of more than 7,000 executives in over 130 countries, suggests that the fashion for teamwork has reached a new high. Almost half of those surveyed said their companies were either in the middle of restructuring or about to embark on it; and for the most part, restructuring meant putting more emphasis on teams.Companies are abandoning functional silos and organising employees into cross-disciplinary teams that focus on particular products, problems or customers. These teams are gaining more power to run their own affairs. They are also spending more time working with each other rather than reporting upwards. Deloitte argues that a new organisational form is on the rise: a network of teams is replacing the conventional hierarchy.The fashion for teams is driven by a sense that the old way of organising people is too rigid for both the modern marketplace and the expectations of employees. Technological innovation puts a premium on agility. John Chambers, chairman of Cisco, an electronics firm, says that “we compete against market transitions, not competitors. Product transitions used to take five or seven years; now they take one or two.” Digital technology also makes it easier for people to co-ordinate their activities without resorting to hierarchy. The “millennials” who will soon make up half the workforce in rich countries were reared from nursery school onwards to work in groups.The fashion for teams is also spreading from the usual corporate suspects (such as GE and IBM) to some more unusual ones. The Cleveland Clinic, a hospital operator, has reorganised its medical staff into teams to focus on particular treatment areas; consultants, nurses and others collaborate closely instead of being separated by speciality and rank. The US Army has gone the same way. In his book, “Team of Teams”, General Stanley McChrystal describes how the army’s hierarchical structure hindered its operations during the early stages of the Iraq war. His solution was to learn something from the insurgents it was fighting: decentralise authority to self-organising teams.A good rule of thumb is that as soon as generals and hospital administrators jump on a management bandwagon, it is time to ask questions. Leigh Thompson of Kellogg School of Management in Illinois warns that, “Teams are not always the answer – teams may provide insight, creativity and knowledge in a way that a person working independently cannot; but teamwork may also lead to confusion, delay and poor decision-making.” The late Richard Hackman of Harvard University once argued, “I have no question that when you have a team, the pos sibility exists that it will generate magic, producing something extraordinary… But don’t count on it.”Hackman (who died in 2013) noted that teams are hampered by problems of co-ordination and motivation that chip away at the benefits of collaboration. High-flyers forced to work in teams may be undervalued and free-riders empowered. Groupthink may be unavoidable. In a study of 120 teams of senior executives, he discovered that less than 10% of their supposed members agreed on who exactly was on the t eam. If it is hard enough to define a team’s membership, agreeing on its purpose is harder still.Profound changes in the workforce are making teams trickier to manage. Teams work best if their members have a strong common culture. This is hard to achieve when, as is now the case in many big firms, a large proportion of staff are temporary contractors. Teamwork improves with time: America’s National Transportation Safety Board found that 73% of the incidents in its civil-aviation database occurred on a crew’s first day of flying together. However, as Amy Edmondson of Harvard points out, organisations increasingly use “team” as a verb rather than a noun: they form teams for specific purposes and then quickly disband them.熊彼特:团队精神(节选)各公司都信奉以团队形式工作的理念。

翻译二级笔译综合能力分类模拟题4I Vocabulary and GrammarPart 1 Correcting Grammatical ErrorsDirections: In each of the following statements there is an underlined part that is indicated as an error. Choose the word or phrase that can replace the underlined part so that the error is corrected.The Internet originated on American soil. In 1969, the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the US Defense Department established the world's first testing packet-switched network (PSN) to connect four universities on US soil. The world saw a remarkable expansion of the scale and number of Internet users from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. In September 1989, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) was founded with a grant from the US Department of Commence to administer the Internet terminal server. Over the past 40 years, the US has been dominating the world Internet as the core technique holder with an inherent advantage of being the cradle of the Internet.There are 13 terminal servers in the world to keep the Internet run ] , with a master server and nine of the 12 second 2 servers stationed in the US. In terms of technique, the network of a country will disappear from the world Internet if its domain name registry is blocked or deleted from the terminal server. This kind of conduct is not legally bieded 3 with the law of any country except I CANN. In April 2004, Libya was seen 4 on the Internet for three days after the collapse of the domain name registry of the country "LY" caused by a domain administration dispute.Concerns about the US monopoly of the domain name server (DNS) system grew among other nations as much as their reliance on the Internet for issues ranging 5 politics and the economy to defense and the general society. Years ago, there was a proposal that the Internet is 6 administered by the United Nations or under international cooperation. The European Union insisted that the World Wide Web was 7 an international resource that should be jointly managed by all nations . Some developing countries pointed to 8 that at the early stage of Internet development, developed countries seized large amounts of domain names, leaving a limited few for them, and demanded a share with the US over Internet administration. American officials opposed to 9 the suggestion.The US Defense Strategy Review in March 2005 stated that Internet space should have the same priority with 10 continental, marine, aerial and outer space jurisdictions for the US to maintain a decisive superiority. A statement from Washington on June 30, 2 0 05, made it clear that the US government would maintain its control on 11 the DNS indefinitely;stating that a transfer of its management to UN or international cooperative models would impede the free flow of information, leading 12 to easy manipulation of the Internet and make global supervision more difficult.At the same time, the US Congress passed a bill by a vote of 423 to zero urged 13 a manifesto by the White House that American control over Internet is inviolable. US Rep. John Taylor Doolittle, a Republican from California, said the United States invented the Internet and described 14 as a gift to the world based on American taxpayers' money. He said he opposed any move to transfer the country's control to the UN.The control of the Internet plays a strategical 15 role for US. Using the internet, the US can intercept information via the net, export US values and opinions, support a " Color Revolution", feed the oppositing 16 powers and rebels against anti-US governments, interfere 17 other countries' internal affairs and make proactive attacks on enemy's communication and directing networks. James-Adams, a famous military forecaster, wrote 18 his book, The Next World War, these words : "The computer is the weapon for the future war and there is no virtual front line, while 19 the traditional battle and the byte will take the bullet's role to grab control of the air."US President Barack Obama repeatly 20 stressed the importance of the Internet during his campaign. He asked the relevant departments to assess the security of the American network, and to prepare 21 the implementation of information hegemony to continue the work of controlling the new generation of Internet Root Servers. The assessment report released by the US government on May 29, 2009, said that cyberspacethreats have become one of the most serious economic and military threats facing by 22 the United States. The report emphasized that the US must show the world they were seriously responding to the challenge. Against this background, Microsoft announced the closure of MSN services for Cuba, Iran, Syria, Sudan and the DPRK. But the world opinion considers 23 as information sanction instead of meeting a challenge.II Cloze TestDirections : In the following two passages, there are 15 blanks in each passage representing the words that are missing from the contexts. You are to read the passage through before providing the missing word of each blank to complete the passage. PhilanthropyIt has become an American tradition that those who attain great wealth return some of it to the public through philanthropy. An early example of this was the generosity of Amos Lawrence of Massachusetts z a wealthy merchant who in the 1830s and afterwards contributed much money for famine relief in Ireland. He also donated generously to educational and other humanitarian causes.In the early years of the twentieth century several men who had amassed vast 24 likewise became great philanthropists. Andrew Carnegie, an exceptionally energetic man, 25 has begun working twelve hours a day when he was only fourteen years old, 26 one of the world' s richest men by pioneering in the steel 27 . After his retirement in 1900 he devoted his time and his wealth to the 28 of free public libraries . He also set up foundations for medical research and 29 world peace. Carnegie's belief, as he expressed it in an essay, was 30 the wealthy person must "consider all surplus revenues 31 come to him simply as 'trust funds' which is strictly bound as a matter of 32 to administer in the manner best calculated to produce the most 33 results for the community—the man of wealth thus becoming the mere 34 and agent for his poorer brethren."John D . Rockefeller, who also began as a poor boy, became 35 rich through oil refineries and other enterprises . In his 36 age, in the early 1900 ' s z he began to donate millions for beneficial 37 . The various Rockefeller Foundations support research as well as 38 causes in the United States and in other parts of the world. Rockefeller funds are now fighting hunger through the so-called "green revolution," whereby new agricultural techniques have greatly multiplied the yield of food crops in Mexico, India, Pakistan, and parts of Africa.Through the Ford Foundation, and based on automobile profits, Henry Ford II donated $500 million in 1950 to universities and hospitals for improving education and health. This likewise became a world-famous foundation, whose activities have spread far and wide . Some of this money was effectively spend fight cholera and typhus in far-off Nepal. World BankThe World Bank is one of the largest suppliers of development assistance. Its main goal is to improve living conditions for poor people throughout the world. Last year, it provided more than seventeen-1housand-mi11ion dollars in loans to developing countries to help end poverty. The money went to efforts like debt reduction for some of the poorest countries in the world. That program was designed to increase debt assistance and provide it faster than in the past. As a result, twenty-three countries received debt assistance last year as compared to seven countries the year before.The World Bank does more than just 39 loans, however. It believes that continued poverty reduction comes 40 investing in the people of a country—especially through education and health 41 . World Bank President James Wolfensohn announced one such program 42 this year at the organization's yearly spring 43 in Washington. The "Education for All" plan is aimed at getting all children 44 the ages of five and eleven into early education. The World Bank plans to 45 the program soon in ten countries. Bank leaders will choose 46 that have strong education reform plans but no money to establish them.The World Bank uses engineers, economists z public policy 47 and social scientists to create these kinds of programs. These 48 also provide developing countries with the necessary 49 help to carry out the programs . Ten thousand people work for the 50 Bank. Eight thousand are based in Washington. The rest are spread 51 the world. The World Bank is owned by more than one-hundred-eighty 52 countries. Every country holds different shares which represent the positions and 53 of the members.The World Bank began as a much smaller group.

Like the PC on your desk, your mind is equipped with two basic types of memory : "working memory" for juggling information in the present moment, and " long-term memory" for storing it over extended periods. Contrary to popular wisdom, our brains don' t record everything that happens to us and then bury it until a hypnotist or a therapist helps us dredge it up. Most of what we perceive hovers briefly in working memory, a mental play space akin to a computer's RAM, then simply evaporates. Working memory enables you to perform simple calculations in your head or retain phone numbers long enough to dial them. And like RAM, it lets you analyze and invent things without creating a lasting record.Long-term memory acts more like a hard drive, physically recording past experiences in the brain region known as cerebral cortex. The cortex, or outer layer of the brain, houses a thicket of 10 billion vine —like nerve cells, which communicate by relaying chemical and electrical impulses. We can will things into long-term memory simply by rehearsing them. But the decision to store or discard a piece of information rarely involves any conscious thought. It' s usually handled automatically by the hippocampus, a small, two-winged structure nestled deep in the center of the brain. Like the key-board on your computer, the hippocampus serves as a kind of switching station. As neurons out in the cortex receive sensory information. They relay it to the hippocampus . If the hippocampus responds, the sensory neurons start forming a durable network But without that act of consent, the experience vanishes forever.By storing only the information we ' re most likely to use, our brains make the world manageable. Perfect retention may sound like a godsend, but when the hippocampus gets overly permissive, the results can be devastating. At the other end of the spectrum stands impairments of the memory, which can be caused by brain surgery as well as normal aging. Other memory busters include depression, anxiety and a simple lack of stimulation —all of which keep us from paying full attention to our surroundings . What, then, are the best ways to protect your memory? Obviously, anyone concerned about staying sharp should make a point of sleeping enough and managing stress . And because the brain is at the mercy of the circulatory system, a heart-heal thy lifestyle may have cognitive benefits as well.54、 According to the passage z the working memory and the long-term memory are respectively for _______________ .A. processing information and recording information.B. calculation and confirming the calculations.C. storing information and performing calculations.D. storing information and processing the storage.According to the first paragraph, which of the following is NOT true?A. what we are in contacts with may not be all stored in the the brain.B. what we are in contacts with are just short-lived in the brain.C. all of our immediate knowledge may be all ready for use.D. only some information in the working memory can be retrieved later.56、 The hippocampus is compared to a keyboard because .A. only when information is related to the hippocampus can the sensory neuronsstart functioning.B. all the input of information can be functioned by the hippocampus.C. the hippocampus can transform all the information received into the cortex.D. only when the hippocampus is functioning can the information be used.57、 What a human brain can remember and use largely depends on .A. the cooperation between the cerebal cortex and the hippocampus.B. the cooperation between the cerebal cortex and the neurons.C. how the neurons and the hippicampus are working.D. how much effort a human being is made in storing received information.58、 Which of the following is NOT true?A. All the information in the working memory can be stored in the long-term memory.B. Only some of the information can be stored in the long-term memory.C.If the received information is not juggled, it may soon depart from the memory.D.All the information in the long-term memory is from the working memory. The History of P & GIn 1837, the nation was gripped by financial panic, yet, Procter and Gamble launched their new enterprise, more concerned about how to compete with the 14 other soap and candle makers in their city. Their calm in the midst of that economic storm reflected their forward- looking approach to the business—an approach that became the hallmark of Procter & Gamble.Later, they pioneered one of the nation's first profit-sharing programs and were among the first in American industry to invest in a research laboratory. By 1890, the fledgfing partnership between Procter and Gamble had grown into a multinational corporation. Nevertheless, P & G still had its eyes on the future.At that time, P & G was selling more than 30 different types of soap, including Ivory. Fueled by innovative advertising, including full color print ads in national magazines, consumers' demand for P & G soaps continued to grow. To meet this increasing demand, the Company began expanding its operations outside Cincinnati.Its research laboratory was as busy as its plants . Innovative new products were rolled out one after another—Ivory Flakes, a soap in flake form for washing clothes and dishes;Chipso, the first soap designed for washing machines;Dreft, the first household synthetic detergent—and the first all vegetable shortening that changed the way America cooked, Crisco.In 1945, P & G had become a nearly $350 million company. Its products were popular throughout the United States and Canada—and the Company had taken its first step toward developing an overseas business z with the acquisition of Thomas Hedley & Co., Ltd., in England.In 1946, P & G introduced Tide, its most important new product since Ivory. Tide was remarkably superior to other products on the market, and it quickly became an enormous success—so successful, in fact, that it helped fund the Company' s rapid growth not just into new product lines but also into new markets around the world.Today, Procter & Gamble is a truly global corporation. Since 1980, the company has quadrupled the number of consumers it can serve with its brands—about five billion people around the world. P & G now has operations in more than 80 countries and its products are sold in over 140 countries, making P & G one of the biggest and most successful consumer goods companies in the world.59、 The accomplishment of P & G that make them stand out against their counterparts is largely due to .A. their future-oriented vision.B. their power to compete.C. the quality of their products.D. their harmonious cooperation.60、 What elements are crucial to the sustained development of P & G?A. Vision, research and hard working.B. Wise investment, research laboratory and enough capital.C. Vision, profit-sharing programs and research.D. Vision, laboratory research and innovation.61> The phrase "the fledgling partnership" means that .A. very experienced business bodies work together.B. inexperienced but thriving business bodies work together.C. powerful business sectors work hand in hand.D. successful business lines make joined effort.62、 P & G's smashing success in doing business is largely due to .A. they have made joined efforts and adopted scientific approach.B. they have followed a well-knitted onward development approach.C. they have produced more than 30 varieties of products.D . they have successfully engaged themselves in advertising their products .63、 What is more remarkable about the great success of P & G is that .A. they have not only turned out more varieties, but also placed much moreemphasis on advertising their products.B. they have given much heed to their overseas development and placed muchemphasis on advertising.C. they never stop turning out new products z nor do they stay satisfied.D. they have not only placed much emphasis on research and innovation but alsokeep eyes on the markets both at home and abroad.答案:I Vocabulary and GrammarPart 1 Correcting Grammatical Errors1> :run —running —unseen 3、binded —binding 6、is —be to —out — lead -^strategic 18、wrote —后面力口in 2、second^secondary 5、rangings ranging from 9、to —to 去掉 10、with —as 13、urged^urging 14、described —后面力Hit 7、 11> on —over 4、 seen was —is 8、 12、 leading 15、 strategical prepared —后面力口 for II Cloze Test16、oppositing —opposition 17、 interfere —后面力口with 2 0、repeatly^repeatedly 23、19、while —as 22、by —by 去掉 considers —后面力口 this 21、 24、 fortunes establishment 33、 beneficial undertaking programs 42、 46、 countries World 25、 29、 who for 26、 30、 27、 industry 31> which 34、 trustee 38、 humanitarian ealier became that 35、 fabulously 39、 provide 36、 40、 32、 old from 28、 duty 37、 41> 47、 experts 50、 World 51> around 52、 III Reading Comprehension54、D 55、C 56、A 43、 meeting 44、 between 48、 professionals member57、A 58、A 45、 49、 53、 interests establish technical59、A 60、 61>62、B 63、D。
